So we’ve done 9/11, but don’t hold your breath for the equivalent wall-to-wall coverage on the Afghan war, with poignant stories of parents, husbands and children who have been killed.
For me, the low point of the coverage about the attacks on the twin towers on 9/11 was the extensive oxygen of publicity allowed to Tony Blair. Interviewed at length on the Today programme, quoted in a number of national newspapers, he used the anniversary to justify his illegal war on Iraq and to encourage (…)

Police clashed with violent demonstrators in Greece’s second-largest city of Thessaloniki as more than 25,000 people ranging from taxi-drivers to sports fans joined a wave of anti-austerity protests, while Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou delivered his annual, keynote speech on the economy.
Two people were arrested and nearly 100 people detained, police said, while at least two demonstrators were injured during the clashes.
Fire bombs were seen being thrown at riot police opposite (…)

The Australian Greens have supported the idea of an inquiry into Australian media that is dominated by the US Murdoch Empire, the Australian Fairfax Empire and the taxpayer-funded ABC (the Australian equivalent of the UK BBC).
From the perspective of climate change action in response to the worsening emergency this is urgently needed in view of Murdoch Empire media climate change denialism and management of the taxpayer-funded ABC ordering “balanced reportage ” between scientists (…)

The people in Chile tried to pursue their idea of a new kind of society: equal, free, and justice for all. And this is how the imperialist America destroyed that idea: low-intensity warfare, political and economic sabotage, and support to fascist army leaders that wanted to overthrow the democratically elected government. This is one of the most glaring examples of the inhumanity of imperialism, and it shows the need to keep struggling for a new type of equal democracy that doesn’t give (…)

I call on Bernard-Henri Levy: Kindly be a human being always and everywhere. March with us in September to free Palestine from the occupation and Israel from Zionism.
There is a popular belief that a philosopher’s aim is to seek universal truth in a world of competing narratives. As early as the time of Socrates, Western culture viewed the figure of the Sophist, a "philosopher for hire," as contrary to that of the genuine philosopher: While the latter searches for the truth, the former (…)

It has been 30 years since I represented Auschwitz survivor Mel Mermelstein in the Holocaust Denial Case.
We were successful in our lawsuit against the radical right-wing organizations which, as a publicity ploy, denied the Holocaust.
Following my argument to the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 9, 1981, a very wise Judge Thomas Johnson took judicial notice of the fact that Jews were gassed to death in the Summer of 1944 in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

You Only Believe the Official 9/11 Story Because You Don’t Know the Official 9/11 Story I don’t believe the official story of 9/11 because I know the official story of 9/11!
During the past 10 years I have not met a single individual who, after doing research on the subject, switched from questioning the official narrative of the events of 9/11/2001 to believing the official narrative of those events.. It is always the other way around. Why do you think that is? There are good reasons (…)

The three most deadly problems facing the world are nuclear weapons, poverty and global warming but US Alliance exploitation of the US-complicit 9-11 atrocity has worsened the threat. 3000 people died in the 9-11 atrocity but in the subsequent 10 years war-related deaths in Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan alone have totaled 9 million, global avoidable deaths from deprivation have totaled about 170 million and continued global inaction on man-made climate change threatens destruction of most (…)
