    In Iraq, the US does eliminate those who dare to count the dead
    by Naomi Klein
    David T Johnson,
    Acting ambassador,
    US Embassy, London
    Dear Mr Johnson, On November 26, your press counsellor sent a letter to the Guardian taking strong exception to a sentence in my column of the same day. The sentence read: "In Iraq, US forces and their Iraqi surrogates are no longer bothering to conceal attacks on civilian targets and are openly eliminating anyone - doctors, clerics, journalists - (…)

    We’re in a "war of civilizations" - and not just against Islam
    by Justin Raimondo
    The U.S. effort to export "democracy" to Ukraine has some skeptics of interventionism baffled and confused. A seeming throwback to the Soviet era, Leonid Kuchma, and his chosen heir, ward-heeler Viktor Yanukovich, were widely perceived as having stolen the election, and the Ukrainian Supreme Court, supposedly a tool of the regime, agreed. While one may argue about which side engaged in election fraud, and (…)

    I am a manipulated stooge who sold his soul to exploit the ignorant with the proud lies our own leaders.
    I am told on a regular basis "The Army is not like it used to be." Most of the lifers think that the military lacks discipline and blame the new "Nintendo generation" soldiers for the weakness.
    However, I think a hard look should be given at the uses of America’s advanced military in the modern era. Due to the operations the military has been tasked in the last forty years, the (…)

    by Harvey Wasserman
    As demonstrators cheer the restoration of democracy to their beleaguered country, Ohio officials continue to deny it.
    In the face of obvious fraud, Ukraine’s Supreme Court has thrown out an apparent coup for the incumbent and ordered a new election. That’s what needs to happen here.
    But despite growing national pressure and a major demonstration scheduled for tomorrow, Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell continues to stonewall a true recount in (…)

    Apparently 9/11 is still having it’s very negative effect on people, the damage extends past the lives lost. Rescue workers have come down with what scientists have called, "world trade center cough" from inhaling pulverized cement.
    Some rescue workers have asthma type breathing difficulties, others just have a constant cough. The "WTC cough", effects the lungs. Since the particles were so fine, perhaps an investigation as to how so much "pulverized cement" was created, is in order. Was (…)

    "People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election."
    (Otto Von Bismarck - Prussian Prime Minister 1815-1898)
    by Yamin Zakaria
    Indeed corporate driven wars of Capitalist nations and elections share the trait of ‘deception’. This is expected as elections are the usual means to get into the driving seat to prosecute wars. Wars are primarily driven by corporate interests diluted with chauvinistic nationalism concealed by lofty slogans. However, why the need to (…)
