  • Osama Has Won - Hatred of the US is Now Universal
    7 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    8 comments

    08/06/06 "Counterpunch" — — Anyone who even attempts to defend the killing of the children in Qana by Israeli air strikes is criminally insane. There can be no justification for slaughtering children, in any circumstances, anywhere.
    You feel revulsion when you see photographs of Israeli kids writing hate slogans on artillery shells that are going to be fired at Arab kids. In fact real human beings feel more than revulsion when seeing photographs of brainwashed hatred in the young: they (…)

  • 10 reasons to be happy about invading Iraq
    7 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    (In no order)
    1. We got to test drones, cluster bombing, white phosphor gas effects, new sniper tactics, one ton bomb dropping, new F-16 weaponry, and precision targeting of mosques and ambulances (sometimes we missed!)
    2. Anyone holding Halliburton, KBR, Custer Battles, Boeing, IBM, Exxon or Bechtel stock made out like a bandit!
    3. We had a wonderful chance to employ the embedding process for reporters and to renew old propaganda programs about democracy, freedom, and the joys of "The (…)

    WASHINGTON - In 1992, Brent R. Wilkes rented a suite at the Hyatt Hotel a few blocks from the Capitol. In his briefcase was a stack of envelopes for a half-dozen congressmen, each packet containing up to $10,000 in checks.
    Mr. Wilkes had set up separate meetings with the lawmakers hoping to win a government contract, and he planned to punctuate each pitch with a campaign donation. But his hometown congressman, Representative Bill Lowery of San Diego, a Republican, told him that presenting (…)

    7 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Multiple military sources have told the Global Network that Pentagon personnel responsible for selecting targets for cruise missile first strike attacks have been sent to Israel.
    This indicates that U.S. and Israeli military strategists are now likely meeting to plan a join attack on Syria and/or Iran.
    The Persian Gulf war and the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq both began with cruise missile attacks by the U.S. from Naval ships. U.S. military satellites were used to guide the missiles to (…)

    US Officials speak truth about Israel
    My fellow Americans
    I think you should watch this five minute video
    US Officials speak truth about Israel
    IF AMERICANS NEW
    In my opinion, I think is is time that Citizens of America begin using Israeli tactics against members of Congress, the Senate and the President. Perhaps if they experience them first hand, they may not be so inclined to continue supporting the use of such tactics by Israel, against Arabs.
    In fact, I think we may do far (…)

  • ’Single issue’ candidate knows what’s important
    6 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    BY JESSE JACKSON
    To this day, Joe Lieberman still doesn’t get it. The 18-year incumbent Democratic senator from Connecticut is in the battle for his political life in the Democratic primary. He dismisses his challenger — Ned Lamont, a Connecticut businessman whose campaign is grounded on opposition to the war in Iraq, as a single-issue candidate.
    But Iraq is not a single issue, it is a central issue — both for the country and for the Democratic Party. It is a catastrophic foreign policy (…)

  • Images of protest against Lebanon massacre
    6 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    These are some signs made for a local Lebanese solidarity event. The original inspiration came from an interview I heard with Tina Naccache from Lebanon, who mentioned that they had made pictures of bombs with US and Israeli flags on them for a protest in Beirut.
    It seemed right to the point, and I came up with these - I really wanted to drive home the central point of US complicity for an American audience, which I hope I’ve done passing well.
    The links between (…)
