The new president elect is Barack Obama, whose real name is Barry Soetoro. Why did he change his name? What will happen on December 15 when Barack/Barry's eligibility to be president comes under judicial scrutiny? Was he born in Hawaii or Kenya?

For the time being, we have worldwide euphoria, but the alarm clock has been set by Biden and Powel. The Nostradami of our times. If we are to believe them, the masses will awake - yet still without consciousness - to a great event. A major challenge for the newly anointed president. January 21 and 22 loom portentously. But here I urge caution, for prophets are best judged by their fruits. So I will wait before passing judgement.

The Rand Corporation, an extremely influential US think tank, proposes war with China, Russia, Iran or Japan to ward off the depression. The Chinese press abound with rumours of war. The English-speaking press scarcely mention it.

French troops (or are they EU troops?) maintain a presence in Chad.

EU troops (did you know the EU had troops?) prepare to enter the Congo.

Nearby Sudan, where the Chinese protect their oil interests, is unintentionally encircled.

Could this be the new president's "major challenge", a war with China?

Well, I'm sure Obama can be war-like if that's what is needed. His pre-electoral rhetoric included talk of attacking Pakistan in the hunt for terrorists. He's also surrounded himself with suitably bellicose people such as his own VP Joe Biden, who supported the Neo-Con war in Iraq.

Another is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who is Obama's chief foreign policy advisor. As President Carter's national security advisor in 1979, Brzezinski recruited Osama Bin Laden to lead an army into a war with Russia. This army, known as the Mujahadeen, was funded by the Saudis and armed by CIA via the Pakistani ISI. The Mujahadeen was the genesis of the modern day Al Qaeda. It was created by Western intelligence operations. Al Qaeda literally means - as Robin Cook noted in his newspaper column a few weeks before his death - "'the database',... originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians".

But there's no guilt by association. The political world is just a hurtling rock of coincidence. It spins and spins and spins.
