    16 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Bjorn Hengst and Carsten Volkery in Stralsund, Germany
    It’s been a long time since German-American relations were this heartfelt. During his visit to Stralsund, Germany, President Bush kisses the chancellor on both cheeks, says "good morning" and expresses his thanks for the gift of a barrel of herring.
    The chancellor stands next to her husband on the cobblestone-lined historic market square, behind Stralsund’s medieval church and city hall. The flags fly from the red brick building: (…)

    US President George W. Bush starts a two-day visit with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday in her parliamentary district near the Baltic Sea. The two leaders will talk foreign policy and hope to bond during an expensive country barbecue.
    At first glance, nothing distinguishes the visit by US President Bush to eastern Germany from his earlier trips: Mysterious airplanes land at regional airports, commando divers examine the local pond, a (…)

    Respected scientists reported on the unrevealed gas cloud after conducting research on specialized high volume air filters in England. Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan stunned Europe in a Sunday Times of London article on Feb. 19, 2006. Their (…)

    Cuba is in danger of being punished by Europe for Washington’s loss of clout in Latin America
    by Ian Gibson
    Faced with a loss of influence in Latin America as a result of the shift to the left, the US government has been furiously lobbying sympathetic European states to create political leverage on Washington’s behalf. As a partner in a "special relationship", Whitehall is a prime target.

    EUROPEAN COORDINATION AGAINST PRECARIOUSNESS: STRASBURG, JUNE 9th-10th-11th
    For decades, a fierce neo-liberal policy has done its work all over Europe. We - as well as the environment around us - endure, everyday, the effects of this alienating system. This logic finds expression in all-out industrialism, everlasting perpetuation of established elites and ideological formatting, relayed by mass-media, governments and omnipresent aggressive advertising.
    Economy has become the sole (…)
