the U.S. Civil War, which began when Confederate
forces opened fire upon Fort Sumter in Charleston,
South Carolina. The following essay by Webster
Tarpley, tells about the largely untold alliance
between President Abraham Lincoln and Russian Tsar
Alexander II, which by many accounts was key to
the North winning the U.S. Civil War, sealing the
defeat of the British strategic design.</span>

<span class="texte2" style="font-family:

allied military operation in Libya marks a major
strategic change. Washington has renounced a war
of occupation and has sub-contracted its future
ground operations to its allies. Thierry Meyssan
describes the new strategic paradigm of the United
States: forced globalisation is over, the era of
two worlds has begun.</span>

pointed to the imperialist objectives behind this
operation. In this essay, he exposes the main

this profile of global wealth accumulation, James
Petras illustrates the direct link between the
exponential increase of the U.S. super rich in
recent years and the tanking real economy.
Unsurprisingly, the prize for the fastest and most
dramatic growth of new billionaires goes to the
BRIC block countries - recently joined by South
Africa - albeit to the great detriment of their
working classes and environment.</span>
