Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Mainstream politician, academic and media lying subverts rational risk management for societal safety and in the case of US lackey Australia has led to its involvement in all post-1950 US Asian Wars (Asian deaths from violence or from violently-imposed deprivation total about 40 million, with half being children) (see Gideon Polya, “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950”, this including an avoidable (…)

A STRANGE, SOULLESS MAN AND HIS UTTERLY FAILED PRESIDENCY
John Chuckman
How vividly I remember the photos of Obama in Berlin during his campaign in 2008: streets literally flooded with people keen to get a glimpse of a promising young politician, expressing for us all how exhausted the world was with the most ignorant and contemptible man ever to have been a president. Reporters said a quarter of million turned out to see a man who was a junior senator and had no claim yet to being a (…)

William Gerhardie’s brilliant anti-war book “God’s Fifth Column. A biography of the Age 1890-1940” [1] should be a must-read for all people around the world as we mark in 2014 the centenary of the start of World War 1, the “war to end all wars” that was inexorably succeeded by the 5-fold greater carnage of World War 2 and thence the prospect of annihilation of nearly all of humanity in a nuclear World War 3 or through climate genocide from climate change inaction.

As the fog of war descends, it is important to shout a few main points from the rooftops before they get lost in the details. A coup-appointed junta in Kiev, designed, engineered and controlled from Washington, has begun a massive armed assault on its citizens in the east. This supreme and original war crime, reinforced by the Nuremburg Tribunal, is no longer in doubt. Nor can there be any more doubt about who is pulling the strings. The illegitimate junta have pulled out all the stops, as (…)

Military movements and gunfire around city that is under control of pro-Russia insurgents
Ukrainian government forces were on Friday said to be conducting operations around the city of Slavyansk in the country’s east, with pro-Russia separatists claiming a "large-scale" assault to retake the town was under way.
A Reuters photographer said he saw a military helicopter open fire on the outskirts of the town and a reporter heard gunfire. Fighting was being reported at checkpoints.
In Kiev (…)

A NEW COLD WAR? OR JUST AMERICA’S NEED FOR A VILLAIN?
John Chuckman
We read a lot about a new Cold War, and I think there is truth in the words. Obama’s so-called “pivot” towards Asia is clearly directed at China’s emergence as a great power, at the notion of containing China, to use the very word, coined by the American State Department’s George F. Kennan and used for many years to characterize America’s policy towards the Soviet Union.
Obama’s talk of a “pivot” is extremely (…)

THE SICKLY SMELL OF LIES AND DEATH
John Chuckman
Only the other day, Benjamin Netanyahu earned a small note of immortality when he said the peace talks were ended by the new arrangements between the Palestine Authority and Hamas: Netanyahu’s announcement bundled a record number of lies into one mouthful of words. There, of course, never was anything properly called peace talks with Israel. There has been only a long series of closed-door personal, and security-scrambled telephonic, (…)
