2013: What's in Store? (Op-Ed) ? RT

World Government stepping onto sovereign Nation-States, puppet politicians unable to cope with social challenges, chaos in the Middle East and ever increasing global crises ? all this awaits us in 2013. Is it time for ?We the People? to wake up?

?More violence in the Middle East; increased protests and commotion on the streets of Europe and America; a banking/debt crisis spinning faster and faster out of control with panicky governments running to save the bankers and kill the workers. That?s 2012?s legacy, so? thank God it?s (almost) over!

But ? barring the Mayan Prophecies coming true, which is most unlikely ? regrettably 2013 threatens us with even darker clouds on its horizon.

?We?re not into ?predictions? or futurism, however understanding what really makes this world tick allows rational projections of tendencies on the basis of concrete facts.? That can serve to give us an idea of what?s in store for 2013, so we can better prepare for what?s coming our way.

Let?s look at half a dozen Key Issues:?

Where?s the pilot?

Glaringly visible on today?s global political stage is that leaders in just about every country are unable to tackle and solve the overwhelming swarm of growing crises and challenges affecting society; at least not in the West.? Whether it?s political, social or military conflict; increasing ecological threats; on-going financial and economic collapse; mass cultural and intellectual dumbing-down; or obscene government corruption, everywhere you look things seem to be taking a turn for the worse.

Even the leaders of powerful countries as the United States, Britain and the European Union fail dismally when addressing these crises highlighting their mediocrity, lack of vision and creativity.? This becomes more obvious when comparing today?s leaders with those of yesteryear.

Take France, for instance: having given the world a true statesman like Charles de Gaulle, today they?re run by political midgets like Hollande and Sarkozy.? Worse still is the US, which had a great president like John F Kennedy but today is misgoverned by puppets like Bush junior and Obama.? Even Britain, Italy and Germany once led by inspirational figures like Churchill, De Gaspari and Adenauer, today can only muster grey mediocrities like Blair, Cameron, Berlusconi, Monti or Merkel.

Is it all just coincidence, or does it reflect a monolithic political system that ensures that not the best and brightest, but the worst and dimmest rise to become presidents and prime ministers?

Is this the result of the Global Power Masters? preferred system of control over entire nations through ?money-powered democracy??? This is in stark contrast with what ?We the People? are clamouring for in every country.?? In fact, ?We the People? have instinct and are neither stupid nor cowardly.? Unfortunately though, their political leaders for the most part are.

Is there a ?superior will? making sure that growing national problems remain unresolved, and get worse and worse as presidents and prime ministers come and go?

Is it just ?bad financial judgment? that?s made all national debts with the Mega-banker Over-world balloon way out of control?? Just bad luck that pension funds are massively broke and health systems are in shambles?

Just bad luck that; Orwell-like, peace-making has turned into warmongering?

Is it just bad luck that basic human decency, ethics and solidarity are scorned by that moral cesspool known as the ?entertainment industry?, which is the prime driver or the dumbing-down of populations everywhere?

We don?t think so?

Is all of this a way of telling the world in no uncertain terms just who?s really in charge, by ?proving? that Sovereign Nation-States can no longer cope, and ?a thing of the past? to be thrown into the dustbin of history?? That certainly ties in with the Global Power Masters? fundamental long-term objective geared on dissolving the nations of the world so their power can be sucked up into the coming World Government organisations?

But look again: it?s not Nation-States that are failing, but rather the ?democratically elected? politicians who run them!? Let?s not thrown the baby away with the bath water?!

World Government needs to do away with sovereign Nation-States because they?re the only social institution that can hold the Global Corporate and Mega-banker Over-world in check.? In fact, the Sovereign Nation-State is the Over-world?s Public Enemy No. 1!

Back in 1974, the Elite think-tank Council on Foreign Relation?s journal ?Foreign Affairs? suggested that ?the house of world order will have to be built from the bottom up? It will look like a great "booming, buzzing confusion," ?but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault.? That was written over 38 years ago? Now that?s what I call long-range planning!

So, get ready: 2013 will bring ever increasing crises as all Nation-States are weakened more and more.? In Orwellian newspeak, this is ?democracy?. However, ?We the People? are waking up to the fact that such a ?democracy? is nothing but a prison of the mind.

In 2013 more people will be asking themselves ?Where?s the pilot??? They will want to know who?s really running this ghastly global show.? You can bet your bottom dollar that ?the pilot? is definitely not in the White House, or the Palais d'Elysee, or 10 Downing Street.? Clearly, we need new pilots!

United States of America

Had Republican candidate Mitt Romney won November?s presidential elections, today we?d be in global doldrums on a range of important issues.? The Global Power Masters would have had to wait until Romney is inaugurated in late January 2013, and then give him the privileged ?100 days? honeymoon? as new White House tenant, before they actually began pressing and coaxing him to do their bidding.? That would have given the world four, maybe five, months? respite.

However, Romney lost the elections, and Barack Obama will be president four more years.? No waiting; no honeymoon.

Time is of the essence and Big Brother Bwana is already shouting orders at Boy Obama demanding him to move? and fast!? The Big Bosses in AIPAC, Wall Street, Tel-Aviv, Goldman Sachs, the FED, JPMorganChase, and the Lodges have lots of plans for the US? Obama had been dragging his feet on certain issues: Time to act!

But one may even wonder whether Obama?s staying ?at the helm? might be so he oversees ?Mission Transformation?: the controlled collapse of the US. Will Obama turn out to be America?s Mikhail Gorbachev?

Over a decade ago, Russian Ministry of Foreign Relations academic Igor Panarin pointed to the coming dismemberment of the US due to growing internal political, social and cultural centrifugal forces, overcoming the increasingly weak centripetal forces holding America together.

Right now, we see secessionist movements in just about every state in the US. Texas, North & South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma and Ohio have gathered the 25,000 petition signatures needed to make it mandatory for the Federal Government to address their request.

By the end of the 1980?s, the 'Powers That Be' decided it was time for ?Globalisation? to go into full gear: a chaotic, horizontal, transitory and transitional process that has greatly weakened national sovereignties. But they needed to liquidate the then formidable Union of Soviet Socialist Republics that was getting in their way.? That was Mikhail Gorbachev?s job and he certainly played his role magnificently even if power brokers in New York and London like him far more than citizens in Moscow or St Petersburg.

Now the Global Power Masters are wrapping up ?Globalisation? and moving on towards something far more ambitious: outright World Government which, contrary to globalisation, will be vertical, authoritarian, disciplined and highly centralised. To achieve this new stage, they now need for the other superpower nation-state to go into the waste bin of history. Soon they won?t need a powerful America.

In fact, a powerful US is a potential danger to them because, whilst so far their trillions have ensured the White House always stays in "friendly hands??? Reagan, Bush Senior, Clinton, Bush junior, Obama?? can you imagine what would happen if a True Patriot were to make it to the Oval Office?? Someone who would say ?Enough with the FED!?, ?Enough with unrestricted and irrational support for Israel!?, ?Enough engineering chaos in Libya, Afghanistan, Mali, Syria, Egypt, Latin America!?

So?? yes!?? Perhaps our American Gorbachev?s true mission is to kick-off the controlled demise of the US.

War and more war in the Middle East

From the Global Master?s viewpoint, the more chaos the better.? The more Libya?s and Syria?s, the better; and the more Egypt-style social chaos, the better; all massively fed by their multimedia PsyWar.? Why?? Because, irrespective of whether things turn out ?well? or ?not so well? for them in Palestine, Syria, Iran or Egypt, they always make headway on one permanent overriding objective: weakening Nation-States.? In addition, this all ties in with a key Fundamentalist Zionism goal in the region: the destruction of Iran.

In addition, all this ?experience? renders useful lessons, knowledge, ?case studies? and rules of engagement for designing future ?Springs? in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, even the US.

Stay tuned: this may be coming in 2013 to a country near you.

Israel?s bad temper

As we all know when Israel gets up in a bad mood, they cheer up by going into Palestinian-bashing mode, knowing Big Brother Homer will look the other way. That just occurred in Gaza, as it did in 2009; as it did in Southern Lebanon in 2006.

Now we?ll see a lull as Benjamin Netanyahu campaigns for re-election in January 2013, which may be why he?s pushed aside his embarrassing extreme right-wing ally and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.? This may be linked to trying to accommodate?? not Obama?? but the American military, which is growing increasingly weary of America?s imperial overdrive and resource stretch, as a consequence of fighting too many of Israel?s proxy wars.

John Kerry and Chuck Nagel will probably become Obama?s new secretaries of State and Defence.? Both are friendly towards Israel, however not irrationally fanatic, which is what Israel and AIPAC demand.? This explains the Jerusalem Post?s 17th December article pointing out that both are ?hardly Israel?s preferred choices?.

Fiscal cliff

Like the naked Emperor that no one dared to point that interesting fact out to him, the truth is that the American Emperor is nakedly broke, as is the UK.? Now, when weak countries like Argentina, M?xico, Thailand or Iceland collapse, they painfully discover that their local currencies (or lack thereof in the cases of Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland) are backed by nothing.? That?s when chaos marches in and the locals suffer all sorts of dreadful economic and social hardship, as seen on TV decade after decade.

When the US, UK or EU go broke, however, they still have an ace up their sleeves: their currencies ? Dollar, Pound or Euro?? are backed by their formidable, powerful and hugely expensive military forces.? In practice, those currencies are backed by supersonic stealth bombers, drones, aircraft carriers, Tomahawks, Blackhawks and public (and private!) armies of highly trained and vicious troops.

But if worse comes to worse, they can always tap into their ?Final Solution?; their ?Samson Option? so to speak: unleash World War Three in which case who?ll care about the collapse of the Dollar, or the banks, or social upheavals even in New York or London.

World War Three means forcefully fleeing forwards.? The Global Power Masters know this only too well: ?we pulled this off with the first and second world wars? and it worked!? they seem to say.

Might this be one of 2013?s wild cards?

Watch out with Russia and China

Particularly now that Vladimir Putin is really back in town, Russia is clearly showing that it?s not for turning its back on traditional ally Syria; even less on Iran.?
Not so much out of principle, but for defence and survival.? If Syria and Iran fall to the US/UK/Israeli hegemon, who do you think is next?? And those NATO missiles in Poland, what are they there for?

China, in turn, just named Xi Jinping as new Communist Party Secretary General and soon-to be President.?? Depending on a wide array of interests and goals, China shrewdly works together with Russia, Iran, India, Latin America or Africa; even with historical foe, Japan.

The Chinese know what they want and need in the medium and long terms.? Maybe that?s why they seem paradoxical and difficult to fathom to us short-term thinking Westerners.

Long terms planners at the Pentagon and Western think-tanks, however, know this and they?re preparing for war.?? So, 2013 will see Russia, China, Iran, India, Pakistan, Brazil, South Africa move closer together to tackle common goals and confront common threats.

As the Western geopolitical serpent tries to tighten its hold on planet Earth, time is not on their side: key Castles and Bishops will move on the Global Grand Chessboard.? Watch China and Russia?.

Happy New Year! Party kicks off around the world

Brendon Thorne / Getty Images

From Sydney to Siberia, revelers prepare to celebrate the dawn of a new year.

By NBC News staff and wire reports

Updated at 8:05 a.m. ET:?As if Christmas Island didn't already have an edge on one of the major holidays, it jumped into the future at 5 a.m. ET on Monday, becoming, along with Kiribati and Samoa, the first populated place to reach 2013.?

More populous areas, including New Zealand, started a new calendar just an hour later, joined by Fiji and Tonga. And then the properly big parties started, with the new year reaching Australia at 8 a.m. ET.

Meanwhile, Scotland was already a day into the revelry.?International datelines hadn't been surreptitiously changed. Scotland was celebrating the annual festival known as Hogmanay, which kicked off Sunday night with thousands of torchbearers marching in Edinburgh to bid farewell to 2012 in a celebration drawing inspiration from pagan traditions. The Scotsman newspaper estimated that 7,000 people participated in the "river of fire" through the city center.

Up Helly Aa vikings from the Shetland Islands march in the torchlight procession to mark the start of Hogmanay (New Year) celebrations in Edinburgh on Dec. 30.

The evening of celebration was just the start of a fete lasting until Wednesday and expected to draw 80,000 revelers from around the world, according to the official Hogmanay website.?

But of course, the party is a little bigger thousands of miles to the east. In Sydney, eager revelers camped Sunday night on the shores of the harbor -- the first wave of an estimated 1.5 million people expected to watch a fireworks display centered on the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

Another 2 million Australians, out of a population of 22 million, were expected to watch the show?on television,?Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore told reporters. ?Entertainment for millions doesn't come cheap -- the extravaganza headlined by pop singer?Kylie Minogue?carried a?price tag?of $6.9 million.?

Cheryl Ravelo / Reuters

Bread shaped like roasted pigs, locally known as "lechon," is sold at a bakery in Manila on Monday. Lechon is a popular New Year delicacy in the Philippines.

"This is really putting Australia on the map in terms of welcoming people to the new year," Moore said at the harbor before the event.?

Elsewhere?in Asia, the?buoyant economies?of the Asia-Pacific region were prepared to party with renewed optimism despite the so-called fiscal cliff threatening to reverberate globally from the United States and the tattered economies of Europe.

In Hong Kong, this year's $1.6-million fireworks display was being billed by organizers as the biggest ever in the southern Chinese city. Police expected as many as 100,000 people to watch, local news reports said.?

Increasingly democratic Myanmar was planning a public countdown for the first time, and Jakarta preparing a huge street party befitting Indonesia's powering economy.

We may have different calendars, customs and beliefs, but most of us mark the arrival of a new year. Take a look at the ways cultures around the world celebrate and bring good luck for the year ahead.

In a field in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, workers tested a giant digital countdown screen early on Monday against a backdrop of the revered Shwedagon pagoda.

The celebration was set to be the first public New Year's countdown in Myanmar, a country ruled for almost five decades by military regimes that discouraged or banned big public gatherings.

Israel eases ban on building material for Gaza

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel eased its blockade of Gaza on Sunday, allowing a shipment of gravel for private construction into the Palestinian territory for the first time since Hamas seized control in 2007.

A Palestinian official with knowledge of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire that ended eight days of fighting last month between Israel and Gaza militants said the move had been expected as part of the deal.

"This is the first time gravel has been allowed into Gaza for the Palestinian private sector since the blockade," said Raed Fattouh, the Palestinian official overseeing the shipment of 20 truckloads of the material.

Israel tightened the blockade after Hamas, an Islamist group that refuses to recognize the Jewish state, took power five years ago. But under international pressure, Israel began to ease the restrictions in 2010 and has allowed international aid agencies to import construction material.

The gravel was transferred a day after Egypt allowed building material into Gaza through its Rafah crossing, departing from a six-year ban. It was part of a shipment donated by the Gulf Arab state of Qatar, which has pledged $400 million to finance reconstruction.

Gaza economists say nearly 70 percent of the enclave's commercial needs - including building material and fuel - were being met through shipments via Israel and a network of smuggling tunnels running under the Egyptian border.

One Palestinian official said Israeli counterparts had promised "other building items" would be allowed into Gaza in the coming days.

"Israel has promised to ease the blockade more if the truce continues to hold," said the official, who asked not to be identified.

Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom, speaking to reporters in Jerusalem, said more than 300 truckloads of goods have been moving from Israel to the Gaza Strip on a daily basis.

"They can have much more if they would like to," he said.

Analysis: Venezuela's Maduro channels Chavez, lacks his charisma

CARACAS (Reuters) - He uses Hugo Chavez's bombastic language, brandishes the constitution and showers opponents with vitriol at every turn.

But Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro is struggling to replicate the extraordinary charisma of his boss, who is battling to recover from cancer surgery in Cuba.

Named as heir apparent by Chavez just before the president returned to Havana for his fourth surgery in December, the 50-year-old former bus driver has become the face of the socialist government in South America's top oil exporter.

Though diplomats say he is easy-going in conversations behind closed doors, in public he can be just as caustic and combative as Chavez, the former soldier who has led Venezuela for the past 14 years.

Having made few notable decisions so far during his three-week tenure as stand-in president, Maduro has not offered many clues as to how he would lead if he were at the helm of a post-Chavez Venezuela.

"Every day, Hugo Chavez makes us better patriots and better Venezuelans. He has created a generation of revolutionaries and blazed a trail for us," Maduro told one rally last week, lionizing Chavez in gushing and quasi-messianic terms.

"We swear on the constitution that we will be loyal to his leadership ... that we will confront all U.S. imperialist aggression, and dismantle the lies of the bourgeois traitors."

Chavez, 58, has not been seen in public nor heard from since early December, adding to speculation that his polarizing rule could be coming to an end. Late on Sunday, Maduro said the president was suffering a third set of complications after surgery, and remained in a "delicate" state.

If Chavez died or had to step down, new elections would be held within 30 days. Maduro, who also served as foreign minister for the last six years, would be the candidate of the ruling Socialist Party, or PSUV.

Sometimes dressing casually like Chavez in a track suit to address supporters, he has taken on the president's hectoring style too, slamming opposition leaders as "miserable traitors."

His day-to-day-activities have been dominated by swearing-in ceremonies for governors elected in a regional vote in which the PSUV won 20 of 23 state governorships.

In one particularly vituperative attack, he excoriated opposition candidate Henrique Capriles for having the nerve to campaign in Chavez's hometown of Sabaneta during his failed presidential bid earlier this year.

"He dared profane the sacred revolutionary earth of Sabaneta," Maduro said at the inauguration of Chavez's older brother Adan as governor of their home state, Barinas.

"He came here to offend the people. He had the gall to say he would win even in Sabaneta, the bourgeois rich kid," Maduro said, spitting out the final phrase like a playground insult.

Several times he has sounded choked up with emotion, and he cried as he told one crowd the president could count on them forever. "Beyond this life we will be loyal to Hugo Chavez!"

He has peppered his speeches with references to a state-backed campaign called "I am Chavez." During the inauguration of one public transport project he strayed into an awkward metaphor by saying: "Chavez is the cable car."

But his daily appearances on state television have lacked the relaxed, man-of-the-people charisma of his boss, who was always ready to hug a child or crack a joke with workers during his many tours of building sites, hospitals and oil refineries.

The opposition has called him a "poor copy" of Chavez.

'HE CHOSE MADURO'

Maduro has made no major decisions despite a consensus among business leaders and economists that Venezuela desperately needs a currency devaluation to shore up a yawning fiscal deficit and ease import bottlenecks caused by a shortage of hard currency.

He has made no apparent use of ample powers granted by Chavez this month that include authorizing debt issues and approving congressional budget allocations to ministries.

At best, he has offered vague hints of policy changes, including a veiled suggestion to limit costly subsidies for public services such as electricity and a one-sentence comment that Venezuela's exchange control system could be "improved."

When the nation's main business chamber, Fedecamaras, applauded that statement, within a day Maduro responded: "We're not going to give dollars to Fedecamaras. What this revolution is going to give them is headaches."

His speeches suggest any Maduro candidacy would be driven by the huge emotional outpouring from supporters if Chavez were to leave office or die, whipped up with pledges to follow the president's "revolutionary" course.

Political leaders who have worked with him say his experience as a union leader and diplomat could help him build ties at home and abroad. Any policy difference between Maduro and Chavez, however, would likely only become clear well after he became president.

Sensing another chance to win power just months after being beaten by Chavez at October's presidential vote, the opposition is keen to exploit any signs of a rift within "Chavismo."

Many opposition supporters suspect there are hidden tensions between Maduro and Diosdado Cabello, another powerful Chavez ally from the PSUV's military wing who has a key role as leader of the National Assembly.

There have been few indications of a split.

But Maduro and Cabello were at pains to stress their unity during last week's meetings to inaugurate new PSUV state governors - most of which began with the audience standing for a recording of Chavez singing the national anthem.

Cabello quipped that wealthy opposition leaders had been taking time out from Christmas holidays abroad to pray that he and Maduro would start fighting each other.

"They keep thinking I'll ignore the comandante's order," he scoffed. "He was very clear ... He chose comrade Nicolas Maduro, knowing that under him the revolution will not be lost."

Cabello and other senior PSUV officials, including Maduro's wife, Attorney-General Cilia Flores, have suggested Chavez's January 10 inauguration for his new six-year term could be postponed.

That would outrage the opposition and drive emotions on all sides even higher, but that date could prove to be a diversion.

Without any clarity on Chavez's condition, and the growing possibility that after four operations in 18 months he may no longer be fit to govern, many Venezuelans are expecting change and few are confident enough to make predictions.

"There are simply too many moving pieces," wrote Charles Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela who now heads the San Diego-based Institute of the Americas think tank. "My bet is that a deeply polarized and de-institutionalized Venezuela will be both turbulent and unstable for the foreseeable future."
