The nuclear deals are on and off constantly and the press is all over it because it creates suspense. The more important things, however, are hidden in Iraq, which is pushed off to the side just like Afghanistan was in the coverage of world events. Many say that Iraq is stable. That is not so for there have been large bombings and still there are constant attacks on convoys and IEDs everywhere. The reason for the coverage being directed more towards Iran is because both Afghanistan and Iraq are essential to having control over Tehran’s policies and government as a whole. /About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-17.html http://russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-17.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:45:52 +0300 Before I begin this article, I would like to congratulate Russia Today on becoming the most-viewed foreign news channel in Washington DC, as Nielsen Media Research has found. It is a wonderful opportunity and an honor, for me, to write for RT and have people reading my articles and providing feedback through commentary. It is news such as this that, for those toiling to get the news of the world to the average citizens of the world, makes the job rewarding and worthwhile. All those who work for RT – give yourselves a hand. /About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-14.html http://russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-14.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:45:00 +0300 The purpose of almost all of my articles is to direct public attention to the seemingly irrelevant events in the world that actually matter a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. It is not a secret that mass media plays a huge role in the way popular thinking is formed. Politicians know how to play this game very well, and those who do not pay a big price. Many scholars in the academic world have come to the conclusion that the media is the unofficial fourth pillar of power. It is able to control the way people perceive the world and the events around them. /About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-11.html http://russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-11.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:21:22 +0300 There are a lot of important events around the world that affect market prices, policy decisions and national stability but do not make the headlines or get even a hint of attention. The fact that Saudi Arabian concerns about Yemeni rebels have not been addressed in the media is an extremely alarming occurrence. It is a well-known fact that the house of Saud has very close ties with the United States. Primarily, it is the US elite that is interested in keeping close ties to Saudi Arabia for it is key to the Middle East and the rich oil deposits and the industries that support oil production. /About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-4.html http://russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-11-4.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:30:16 +0300 The ratification of the Lisbon Treaty brings about a new era in EU political affairs and in the international arena, as well.The treaty consists of the following points – it creates the new post of an EU President (President of European Council), it creates the new post of high representative for foreign affairs, more decisions will be implemented by the majority, rather than by unanimous vote, and a row of other points. These, however, I feel are the most important. The road that the European Union is taking is not unique. /About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-10-31.html http://russiatoday.com/About_Us/Blogs/With_words_we_govern_men___Disraeli/2009-10-31.html Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:40:45 +0300 Regardless of who wins the elections in Afghanistan, the overall picture will not change. The United States simply cannot let the events unfold as they do, because that would make their war effort lose diplomatic legitimacy. After all, one of the main points for the invasion of Afghanistan in the first place was not only going after terrorists, but also “spreading democracy”. Thus, it is important to hold a show of fair political representation in Afghanistan so that, years down the road, it can be claimed that there was effort made in installing a legitimate and democratically elected government.
