In the past the United States fought in Vietnam devastating using chemical weapons against communism, a regime that so embodied the struggle for national independence of the Vietnamese people who opposed their rule. Today, continuing the same policies as absurd as unjustifiable, from Afghanistan to Iraq through Serbia, from Lebanon to Gaza, the United States, NATO and Israel throw phosphorous weapons, fragmentation or depleted uranium on civilian populations who refuse to undergo its (…)

"NATO commanders who authorized the Libya bombing campaign should be ’held accountable’ to international law or hauled before the world court for civilian deaths, Re Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said Tuesday.
’If members of the Qadhafi regime are to be held accountable, NATO’s top commanders must also be held accountable through the international criminal court for all civilian deaths resulting from their bombing. Otherwise we will have witnessed the triumph of a new international (…)

Science-informed 300.org (that urges a return of atmospheric CO2 concentration to about 300 ppm from the present 394 ppm: ) endorses the plea by 350.org (that urges a return of atmospheric CO2 to at least 350 ppm) for people to Sign the Petition against the planet-threatening Keystone XL oil pipeline from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada to Illinois, USA. Exploitation of these deposits means “game over” for the Planet.

Google “TSA stupidity” and you will find that almost one-and-a-half million websites have something to say about the subject. If the United States is to avoid another major terrorist attack on its air transportation system without placing greater restrictions on the civil liberties of air travelers, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had better get smart.
Everyone who travels by air in the United States has a depressing story to tell about airport screening. Media stories (…)

Wayne MADSEN (USA) | 22.08.2011 | 00:00
"Negotiation’s just no fun
And it don’t serve our interests none
Gonna turn up the heat till it comes to a boil
So we can go get that Arab oil."
Arabs have a saying that Allah blessed them by giving them seventy percent of the world’s oil. Add the most populous Muslim nation in the world, oil-rich Indonesia, and the percentage of the (…)

"He is the military commander who ultimately selects and authorises strikes by NATO warplanes.

Back on 1 May 2009 Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) had just passed the 100 day mark of his presidency. Back then the answer to the question posed by the Vietnam era anti-war chant “Hey, hey, USA, how many kids did you kill today?” was 1,000 as determined from UNICEF data (see “Hey, hey, USA, how many kids did you kill today? Answer: 1,000”: ). Over 2 years later the question has been re-examined and the answer is now 800 (as of mid-2011).

Wayne MADSEN (USA)
There is a new sheriff in town in Asia and the United States, in a last gasp at preserving its influence in the region, is attempting to cement old alliances while forging new ones. Confronted by a China that has eclipsed the economy of Japan, thus achieving the distinction of being the world’s second-largest economy, the days of the United States acting as a major powerbroker in Asia is coming (…)

Australia is a world leader in annual per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution (71 times greater than that of Bangladesh), coal exports (world number 1) and liquid natural gas (LNG) exports. The Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Opposition (the Libs) and the Labor Party Government (the Labs) (collectively known as the Lib-Labs) both have a policy of “5% off 2000 Domestic GHG pollution by 2020” coupled with unrestrained coal and LNG exports.
The Libs have a climate change action (…)
