The Real Agenda Behind NSA Protests in Germany and France National Security Agency surveillance of European phone calls, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel's smartphone, has prompted grave concern in the media and among elected leaders and could damage U.S. relations with its allies. However, evidence suggests that the anger expressed by French and German leaders could be mostly theatrical, a show meant to increase pressure on Washington to expand an intelligence-sharing arrangement between America and other English-speaking countries.

Controversial "hacktivist" group Anonymous has called for a Million Mask March to take place today in cities around the world, featuring the ubiquitous Guy Fawkes masks often seen at anti-government protests. It's not clear what the protests will achieve beyond a short burst of publicity: Anonymous has no leaders, no membership rolls and no clearly articulated goals embraced by all its members. It does, however, have some very dangerous and destructive ideas.

Could Al Qaeda Be Behind the Boston Marathon Bombings? Although U.S. government officials have given no indications of who was behind the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon that killed at least three people and injured and maimed over 150, this attack has unmistakable parallels with the smaller scale terrorist attacks that radical Islamist groups based in Yemen and Pakistan have attempted in the United States since 2001.

Capriles Won the Election, Says Former US Ambassador Otto Reich, former ambassador to Venezuela under President Ronald Reagan, told LIGNET in an exclusive interview that he thinks Henrique Capriles actually won the Venezuelan presidential election on Sunday, but said the official results, which showed the Socialist candidate Nicolas Maduro as the winner with 50.7 percent of the vote, are unlikely to be overturned given that Chavez loyalists control every branch of government, including the country's electoral commission.

Sudan-South Sudan: Progress on Fragile Peace Accord The historic visit of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to meet with South Sudan's President Salva Kiir in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, on April 12 has set the stage for reconciliation and economic recovery for both nations.

Newsmax.com LIGNET: Power Struggle Marked Pope's Last Days; One Cardinal Is Front-Runner for Succession Recent news of Pope Benedict XVI's resignation has sparked speculation that more may be involved than the publicly cited reason that the Holy Father's health no longer enabled him to continue. Sources close to both the Pope and the Vatican have informed LIGNET that Benedict's decision was brought on by his declining health in the context of a major power struggle within the Holy See. Two major appointments made by Benedict in the closing days of his papacy, including one to install a new head of the Vatican Bank, are signs of this struggle. Vatican insiders, including a close friend of Benedict's, reveal to LIGNET details of the intrigue swirling around this historic power struggle that has marked the last days of his papacy. A key source suggests that four cardinals, including two from Latin America, are the leading contenders. LIGNET identifies the front-runner to become the next pope, a cardinal who was close to John Paul II, trusted by Benedict, skilled in Vatican maneuvering, and who has been in the front lines dealing with the rise of radical Islam.

The Trouble with Iran, Yemen, Somalia Syria and Afghanistan are all About Iranian Imperialism? Lignet

Reflections

I came across a LIGNET report (Langley Intelligence Gathering Net -  publication of CIA, fed to internet) analyzing the problem in the middle east.  The problem in Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria are all inter related.  They are financed by Iran who has a  an imperialist ambition, as probably Darius (Persian empire) has done in the past.  If Iran is successful, it would mean its world domination as it would control the oil and oil traffic.  Somalia, Yemen near the Gulf of Hormuz are passageway/choke points of traffic of oil tankers from the oil fields of the middle east.

That is how the West see it and against the West domination.  That means, this is one reason why oil prices will remain high.

This struggle and threat of war hangs in the air and the jitters send the price of oil sky high.

What do you think?
