THE TWILIGHT ZONE OF AMERICAN POLITICAL LIFE WHERE ALMOST EVERY WORD OF NEWS ISN’T WHAT IT SEEMS
John Chuckman
I think a description of the political space in which we live as a kind of twilight reality is not an exaggeration. Not only is a great deal of the news about the world we read and hear manipulated and even manufactured, but a great deal of genuine news is simply missing.

Israeli ties compromise Asian support to Arabs
10 May 2014By Nicola Nasser*
Israel has carved economic inroads into Asia deep enough to compromise the traditional Asian political support for Arabs. If this trend continues, the growing economic Israeli-Asian relations could in no time translate into political ties that would neutralize Asia in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Kherson governor calls Hitler ’liberator’ addressing veterans on Victory Day (video)
10 May 2014Addressing the public on a Victory Day, the governor of Ukraine’s southern Kherson region trampled on the feelings of many veterans and desecrated the memory of all those who perished during the war against Nazi Germany by calling Hitler a “liberator.”

Mariupol killings: US backs Ukrainian regime’s reign of terror
10 May 2014With the open support of Washington and its European allies, the regime installed by Washington and Berlin in last February’s fascist-led putsch is now extending its reign of terror against all popular resistance in Ukraine.

By its silence, New Anti-capitalist Party supports Odessa massacre
10 May 2014The silence of the NPA on the fascist massacre perpetrated in Odessa on May 2 is devastating proof of the reactionary character of this middle-class organisation. Having applauded the fascist putsch by which the NATO powers installed a pro-imperialist puppet regime in Kiev, the NPA now supports this regime, keeping silent on an atrocity that has shocked millions around the world.
Pro-Kiev fascist forces who arrived to crush protestors in Odessa set fire to the trade union building where (…) -

SUPREME COURT OR SUPREME INSULT?
7 May 2014During my years serving as Legal Editor for the English Edition of Pravda.Ru, I have had many occasions to write about the inanity, hypocrisy, mendacity, and corruption displayed by the current United States Supreme Court, where a “conservative” majority dominated by five unethical, politicized, and overtly biased “justices”—Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, and Chief Justice John Roberts—unabashedly and unconscionably impose their personal, political, economic, (…)
