Britain’s insulting new rules on arrest warrants will only encourage Israel’s view of itself as above international law
Israel has violated innumerable UN resolutions and international laws over the past 50 years without any sanction being incurred – whether legal, economic, political or military. Most blatant is its disregard for the overwhelming opinion of the international court of justice in The Hague, which in 2004 declared the erection of a wall through the occupied territories to be (…)

A massive storm on Sirte resulted in the brief occupation of a University Campus and Hospital in the South Eastern Suburbs. After the battle raged back and forth all day, a massive counter attack that left 200 TNC-fighters dead and countless wounded was enough for Mahmud Jibril, who is pulling “the fighters with allegiance to him” out of the battle, calling “the death of over 200 fighters for a one minute Al Jazeera Victory senseless“. Jibril´s decision is one more example that the NATO (…)

I’ve been coughing and vomiting, and my head aches from pepper spray. I’ll post videos and photos of why at the link above.
We intended to hold signs and sing inside the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, protesting its promotion of unmanned drones, missiles, and bombs, including its sponsorship by and promotion of weapons corporations. We don’t have any museums promoting health coverage or education or retirement security.
We had marched from the Freedom Plaza and McPherson Square (…)

As of 7 October 2011, the 10th Anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan , the human cost of the Afghan War has been estimated as about 1.4 million violent deaths and 4.2 million non-violent avoidable deaths from Occupier-imposed deprivation, a total of 5.6 million war-related deaths.
A detailed and documented Afghan War Human Cost Fact Sheet has been prepared to assist humane public discussion of the ongoing, US Alliance-imposed Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide (5.6 million (…)

In the Western Murdochracies (Big Money buys truth and votes) and Lobbyocracies (Big Money buys politicians and policy) decent, pro-environment and pro-Humanity voters have little choice but to vote 1 Socialist or vote 1 Green (if conservative) as set out below using the example of climate criminal Australia.
Australia is a leading country for annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, coal exports and liquid natural gas (LNG) exports. Thus “annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) (…)

While campaigning, for the office of President, Barack Obama made promises. He made these promises to the American people.
Generally speaking, he promised to "bring the troops home," to close Guantanamo prison, to embrace renewable energy (biofuel, solar, and wind) and address the problem of climate change, to address poverty, and to otherwise make changes we could believe in.
But today US troops are still abroad, Guantanamo is still open, the tenacles of poverty and homelessness are (…)

Ten years ago tomorrow, the longest war in U.S. history began. That’s ten years of missiles and bombs, ten years of kicking in doors and disappearing people, ten years of fighting and funding the Taliban, ten years of developing hatred of the United States, ten years of demolishing (…)

The Antiwar Mass Assembly on Saturday continues to attract high profile pledges, the latest from Noam Chomsky and others who have issued the following statement:
After 10 years of war in Afghanistan, more than 100,000 Nato troops remain and tens of thousands have died. Government claims that the war is contributing to Britain’s stability look increasingly hollow. Opinion polls suggest the majority of Britons want a speedy withdrawal of British troops, a view recently (…)

How can anyone take this group seriously? Hahahahahahahaha
I went down to the "protest," to get the real scoop for (…)

Next Stop is Pakistan
by Wayne Madsen
It looks as if Syria will have to wait now that - as Wayne Madsen points out - Washington’s priority is seizing Pakistan’s nuclear booty before, as the story goes, it falls into radical islamist hands. The only obstacle remaining was to create an environment acceptable to world public opinion that would justify a multinational intervention in Pakistan. Over the past year and a half, Washington has been attempting to do just that through a crescendo (…)
