Thailand in turmoil - Russia makes its first military operation with Venezuela - its not only the financial world at the brink of a dramatic shift with terrorists hunting Americans and Britons in India now. The clash between Russia ans America over the rocket shield deployment in east Europe is a dangerous situation and could bring a reverse Cuba crisis ( reverse as this time America puts rockets in front of Russia). The Iran situation will be crucial soon. The global economic contraction towards a depression will bring social unrest in many places. Times will get much tougher in many ways - the coziness-factor will vanish with Pluto in Capricorn making a T-square to the Saturn / Uranus opposition aligning the next 2 years. The optimism Obama tries to spread is a bit premature - its good though to have the positive spirit, but his promise to create 2.5 mil jobs in 2 years is not sustainable and he will have no chance to cut any budget. He will be the president who printed the money ( anyone in his position), after 70 years of expansion a 20 year contraction is unavoidable as it is a cyclical event. Its a bit like the seasons, as we cannot avoid winter all exaggerated human moves and behaviour needs to be cleansed. The greed factor which dominated the world for 20 years with a Bushpresident vetoing chidrens healthcare for 50 bil. but throwing 150 at AİG or 350 at Citi speaks volume and that the people let him get away with that is not what a democracy is about. Hopefully Thanksgiving with the New Moon will enlighten more people what important values are in life and that they have to put some effort in getting them established.
Indian Commandos in Mumbai Free Hostages at Taj Mahal (Update1) By Chitra Somayaji, Sumit Sharma and Anoop Agrawal
Nov. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Indian commandos freed hostages held by gunmen at one of two luxury hotels in Mumbai, after terrorist shootings and blasts across the city killed at least 101 people and left 290 injured.
Militants armed with grenades and rifles stormed into the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower hotel and the Oberoi Trident complex at about 10 p.m. local time yesterday, saying they were targeting Americans and Britons, according to witnesses. People were still barricaded in their rooms after the hostage situation at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel ended today, Mumbai Police Chief A.N Roy said.
Security forces swept through the hotels, said Mumbai Police Sub-Inspector S.D. Tarwadkar, who didn’t have details of the number of hostages held in Mumbai, India’s financial center, or their nationalities. The country closed its markets today.
Targeting foreign nationals at key tourist hotels and restaurants adds a new dimension to a wave of bombings in India this year that has killed more than 300 people. Multiple attacks have rocked India’s cities with bombs planted in markets, theaters and near mosques.
