Mr President,
Ten years ago, on June 8th 2001, the Miami Court declared as guilty five Cubans - Gerardo Hernández Antonio Guerrero, Fernando González, Ramón Labañino and René González. Several days later, on June 17th 2001, while these five patriots were still imprisoned in Miami, they wrote a message to the people of the United States. The censorship imposed on them at the time, and which is (…)

The killing of Libyan rebel military commander General Abdel Fattah Younes could lead to a violent split inside anti-government forces and comes as a major rebel offensive is failing to produce significant gains prior to the onset of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan in August when extremely hot weather and all-day fasts makes warfare very difficult and slow.
The death of the general, whose body along with those of two senior aides was reportedly found badly burnt on Thursday, brings into (…)

This week marks the end of the dollar’s reign as the world’s reserve currency. It marks the start of a terrible period of economic and political decline in the United States. And it signals the last gasp of the American imperium. That’s over. It is not coming back. And what is to come will be very, very painful.
Barack Obama, and the criminal class on Wall Street, aided by a corporate media that continues to peddle fatuous gossip and trash talk as news while we endure the greatest economic (…)

Despite irrefutable evidence, including the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) concluding last September that Israel committed serious “violations of international law, including international humanitarian law” by massacring nine Gaza Flotilla activists, injuring dozens more, in international waters, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appeased Israel by appointing his own commission.
On July 25, Haaretz writer Barak Ravid headlined, “UN delays flotilla report as Jerusalem and Ankara keep (…)

Israel’s most secret and tried-and-true weapon is the “false flag” terrorist attack.
State-sponsored terrorism is defined by Encyclopedia Britannica as the “systematic use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective [and] is employed by governments — or more often by factions within governments — against that government’s citizens, against factions within the government, or against foreign governments or (…)

Needed in Chicago, May 18-20.
1. Political puppet Art, music and theatrical direct actions such as brass bands which follow the cops around playing music and well rehearsed flash mobs all around the surrounding area to let people know what and why the dissent against NATO and G-8 is about using guerrilla theater acts in the park downtown.
2. Oppression Relief and Rescue teams for people getting abused, tear gassed, etc. by the cops.
3. Media Surveillance teams that will watch the cops (…)

by Stephen Lendman On July 24, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen suggested a Mossad link, saying "ample evidence" of its involvement exists.
Anders Breivik, the alleged bomber/gunman, calls himself a Christian conservative interested in hunting, body building and freemasonry. He’s also expressed strong pro-Israeli views, hostile to Palestinians and Muslims.
Government business records name him the Breivik Geofarm director. Norway’s media call it a farming sole proprietorship, (…)

Anders Behring Breivi
Ah the media. Forever falling for a good "terrorist" story. A car bomb blows the hell out of Oslo and 80 some kids are gunned down on an island leaving a death toll of at least 93.
Who were the" terrorists?" - the media wondered out loud. Muslim? Probably. Middle Eastern? Most likely. Say it ain’t so!
Well, it ain’t so. A blond haired, blue-eyed Norwegian to be more specific. Why? Hatred of Muslims. Did somebody say "Muslim" and "terrorist" in the same sentence (…)

In 2009 the German Advisory Council on Climate Change (WBGU) determined that for a 75% chance of avoiding a 2 degree C temperature rise, the World must pollute less than 600 Gt CO2 between 2010 and essentially zero emissions in 2050. Unfortunately Australia (through disproportionately huge annual fossil fuel burning and exports) and Belize (through disproportionately huge annual deforestation) have already used up their “share” of this terminal greenhouse gas (GHG) budget. The analysis below (…)

The non-Murdoch UK and Australian mainstream media are just about as bad as Murdoch media in terms of an appalling pro-war, pro-American imperialism, pro-Zionist, genocide-ignoring and Democracy-perverting record. However the Murdoch media in Australia are virulently right-wing and have an anti-science climate change denialist agenda that threatens Australia and the World. Accordingly the non-Murdoch media are quite happy to castigate Murdoch media over the UK phone hacking and police (…)
