    "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it." - US General Douglas MacArthur (One of the most decorated soldiers in the history of the United States military)

  • Propaganda: Mantra politics

    All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise. - Adolf Hitler It is well worth asking the following question: Why, specifically, was the phrase ‘war on terror’ adopted as a slogan by the US/UK (…)

  • Al-Qaeda cleric exposed as an MI5 double agent

    ONE of al-Qaeda’s most dangerous figures has been revealed as a double agent working for MI5, raising criticism from European governments, which repeatedly called for his arrest.
    Britain ignored warnings - which began before the September 11 attacks - from half a dozen friendly governments about Abu Qatada’s links with terrorist groups and refused to arrest him. Intelligence chiefs hid from European allies their intention to use the cleric as a key informer against Islamic militants in (…)

    September 30, 2005
    By Dr. Elias Akleh
    It had been long known to the Iraqis, to the Arabs, and to all Moslems in countries bordering Iraq that the majority of the terrorist attacks in Iraq, especially car bombing, are perpetrated by covert British, American, and Israeli operatives. It is also well known to them that the terrorist Abu Musab Al Zarqawi and his “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” are just inventions of the coalition forces to justify their existence. More and more evidences are coming out (…)

    My case is not important. But what happened to me when I was ejected from the Labour conference - simply for a one-word protest during Jack Straw’s speech this week - tells us there is something deeply wrong with the culture of our Government under Tony Blair.
    We have been lied to about the war. But not only that. The party has been manipulated so that it has not been allowed to discuss the issue properly.
    Indeed, the Labour leaders have got so nervous of criticism (…)

    "What our police found in their car was very disturbing - weapons, explosives, and a remote control detonator. These are the weapons of terrorists. We believe these soldiers were planning an attack on a market or other civilian targets." Sheik Hassan al-Zarqani, spokesman for the Mehdi Army
    We are only interested in one thing regarding the melee that broke out in Basra following the arrest of two British commandoes on September 20: whether or not the car they were driving contained (…)

    Over 100,000 protesters took to the streets of central London yesterday in yet another demonstration against the war in Iraq. The route not surprisingly took in Whitehall, Parliament Square, along Piccadilly before reaching Hyde Park, with a motley of campaigners shouting “Down with Downing Street, “ and “Stop the bombings” as they passed No 10 Downing Street.
    Parliament Square and the West End was virtually at a standstill as protestors gathered to give Prime (…)

  • Blair falls into line with Bush view on global warming

    By Geoffrey Lean and Christopher Silvester
    Tony Blair has admitted that he is changing his views on combating global warming to mirror those of President Bush - and oppose negotiating international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol.
    His admission, which has outraged environmentalists on both sides of the Atlantic, flies in the face of his promises made in the past two years and undermines the agreement he masterminded at this summer’s Gleneagles Summit. And it endangers talks that (…)

    Zarqawi Eat Your Heart Out
    Basra is relatively stable compared to central Iraq where violence involving insurgents, civilians and coalition forces is a daily routine. The city has rarely been a site of clashes between insurgents and coalition troops, nor is it a victim of regular terrorist attacks. This week, however, things changed, but not thanks to Zarqawi and his al-Qaeda ilk.
    On Monday, two British soldiers were arrested and detained by Iraqi police in Basra. (…)
