Is the capital of kasakhstan also the capital of the new world order?
Kazakhstan is a country in central asia, although a small portion is actually in Eastern Europe. It is the ninth largest country (2,727,300sq km) in the world and is the worlds largest landlocked country. most of Kazakhstan history has been of a land inhabited by nomadic tribes, with the Kasaks emerging as a distinct group in the 16th century (1465-1731). The Russians started advancing in the 18th century and eventually all of Kazakhstan became part of the Russian empire (1731-1917) After the Russian revolution in 1917, Kazakhstan was reshuffled a few times before becoming a part of the USSR in 1936. They declared independence in 1991, the last soviet country to do so. Kazakhstan has a wealth of resources. Asanta is the capital which was moved from almaty in 1997, it is the first capital of the 21st century and is being built from scratch in a remote and deserted region deep in the Asian steppes. lets take a look at some of the buildings recently constructed, The pyramid of peace Bayterek

The Real Reason for NATO Attacking Libya EXPOSED
posted on May, 24 2011 @ 08:34 AM reply to post by Cassius666 Star and Flag OP. Many financial analysts are claiming that the first international player to switch their currency to one that is commodity-backed will instantly become the next economic powerhouse, as every other nation will want to use this new, stable currency for world trade. However, they mention the U.S., China and the Euro zone, NOT a new African currency, I guess this one has slipped under most radars, or is one of those "do not talk about or else..." stories. I agree with Cassius666 in that the problem with a precious-metals based currency is that it dooms the economy using it to stagnation. That said, it is obvious that a runaway currency with nothing other than the confidence of the state to collect taxes from its citizens as a standard of value, seems to be on its last trimesters, and something must surely be done to change the way the value of goods and services are valued. the Billmeister
Jeremy Scahill
With drone strikes and kill lists, the president set a dangerous precedent. How three US citizens were killed by their own government in the space of one month in 2011. Within some military and intelligence circles, it was the CIA director's relationship with JSOC—not Paula Broadwell—that raised concerns. Luego de que sus partidarios cuestionaran la legalidad de la corte que lo condenó, Abdulelah Haider Shaye debería haber sido puesto en libertad. After supporters protested his “sham” trial, Abdulelah Haider Shaye would have been pardoned. How US counterterrorism operations ignited an Islamist uprising. How US proxy wars helped create a militant Islamist threat. Renditions, an underground prison and a new CIA base are elements of an intensifying US war, according to a Nation investigation in Mogadishu. Meet the Special Operations unit that killed Osama bin Laden. If President Saleh falls, the US will have lost a pliant partner in its “global war on terror.”
