  • If We’re Not There, Start Without US

    By David Glenn Cox
    It is well-documented that Joe Biden has been known to speak out of turn. Of course the flip side of such a reputation is the ability to say things meant in earnest and then to simply laugh them off. On Sunday the Vice President told George Stephanopoulos that Israel has a sovereign right to decide how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions whether the United States agrees or not.
    His statements are beyond absurd, more worthy of a Dick Cheney or of Genghis Kahn. The (…)

  • We have now 3 areas of western led "revolutions": Iran, Urumqi and Honduras. The CIA is behind everything

    We have now 3 areas of western led "revolutions": Iran, Urumqi and Honduras.
    All I can say is: The CIA is behind everything!!!
    The "Tibeten issue" really did`nt matter much as the Xinjang issue will cause much problems for China. The West wants to "hurt China real bad" but without any diect consequence to themselves.
    First by encouraging "dissent and roiting" leading to mass demonstrations and killings of innocent people and further exploitation of the problems the west has already got (…)

  • Video: When is a Coup Not a Coup?
    8 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    A surreal event took place on July 7, 2009, at the National Press Club, in Washington, D.C. It was so strange that I thought that the late, great British comedic actor, Peter Sellers, was going to make a cameo appearance! Some of the representatives of the “de facto” regime in Honduras, repeatedly denied that President Manuel Zelaya was overthrown in a military coup on June 28, 2009. At the beginning of the press conference, protesters staged a brief demonstration. On this video, you will (…)

    U.S.-Russian Nuclear Agreement: Good News and Bad News
    by Robert Higgs (Tuesday, July 7, 2009)
    "Obama and Medvedev have undertaken to move their governments in the right direction, but they need to move them much, much farther. Nothing short of scrapping these horrible, intrinsically indiscriminating weapons entirely will suffice to eliminate their terrible threat to mankind and other living creatures."
    According to an AP report, U.S. president Barack Obama and Russian president Dmitry (…)

  • THE DEATH OF ROBERT MCNAMARA
    6 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    McNamara may be the greatest modern example of the banality of evil.
    He was, in his heyday, a dry, boring man with the appearance of a corporate executive who taught Baptist Sunday School classes.
    He was very bright and energetic, but dry and boring, driven by an insane need for success and with no evident ethical standards beyond those associated with the ferociously ambitious.
    The United States, under his advice and that of others like McGeorge Bundy, created the greatest holocaust (…)

  • FOURTH OF JULY
    4 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    INTRODUCTION
    Americans are programmed to be an ignorant and arrogant people whose culture is mainly derived from three key factors: money, media, and an ignorant, violent, racist version of Christianity. No adequate understanding of American culture and cultural celebrations such as the Fourth of July is possible without first examining these three major elements and the pervading impact they have had on the people.
    The USA’s cultural system has proven functionally useful globally to (…)

  • The US and the Honduran coup

    The US and the Honduran coup
    1 July 2009
    Washington’s criticisms of the June 28 military coup that ousted President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras lack any element of sincerity or historical truth. The Obama administration is uneasy at the ouster of Zelaya, a conservative-turned-populist allied to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, because it reveals all too clearly the character of US foreign policy.
    President Barack Obama’s condemnation of Zelaya’s overthrow as a “terrible precedent” is (…)

  • The Message of Benjamin Franklin
    3 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    I was asked: what are you proud of this Fourth? Currently? Very little, but I see the future because the past is the future. These people that we were, are unusual in their patience and uncommon in their valor.
    When the rupture with the British Parliament first occurred, the Continental Congress selected Benjamin Franklin to go to London as the voice of reason. Franklin was considered the foremost American in the world. A man of science and of letters, he was respected (…)

  • Questioning The Ethical Legitimacy Of Drone Attacks In Pakistan And Afghanistan
    2 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Ongoing Civilian casualties have become an important consideration when looking at and considering the use and legitimacy of drones in South Asia. In a belated admission last month the U.S. had admitted to 26 civilian deaths in a series of drone attacks that took place in May but was not released to the media until over a month later. In the May attacks Afghan officials put the death toll at 140, significantly higher than U.S. claims. In the same strikes the Afghan Independent Human Rights (…)
