After Oslo: Time to Crack Down On Mossad Terrorism
By :
Wayne MADSEN - Wednesday July 27, 2011

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 (...)

Possible Israeli Connection to Oslo Attacks
By :
Stephen Lendman - Monday July 25, 2011
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 (...)

"Terrorist" in Oslo: Muslim? No, Anders Behring Breivi
By :
Timbre Wolf - Monday July 25, 2011
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 (...)

Was Norway Massacre a reaction to BDS Israeli Boycott?
By :
Gilad Atzmon - Sunday July 24, 2011
I learned last night from an Israeli online journal, that two days before the Utoya Island massacre, AUF’s (Labour Party’s youth movement) leader Eskil Pedersen gave an interview to the Dagbladet, Norway’s second largest tabloid newspaper, in which he unveiled what he thinks of Israel.
In the course of the interview, Pedersen stated that he “believes the time has come for more drastic measures against Israel, and (that he) wants the Foreign Minister to impose an (...)

It’s Official: China Is The "Mystery" Daily Buyer Of Billions Of Euros
By :
Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge - Thursday June 30, 2011
by Tyler Durden
06/29/2011
Over the past two weeks, we have been suggesting, tongue in cheekily, that despite the relentless desires of everyone to sell the EUR, it has continued to drift higher, due to some inexplicable force with bottomless pockets, which, after some deductive logic, we assumed was China. It turns out we were correct. Naturally, figuring out what China does with its $3 trillion in foreign reserves is sometimes more complex than brain surgery (except what it does every (...)

The Greek debt crisis and the end of Social Europe
By :
PhT - Tuesday June 28, 2011
1 comment
Following the “Greek” crisis in the news can be puzzling for the average observer, who watches befuddled as “lazy Greeks” and their “profligate welfare state”, threaten her country’s fragile economic recovery. The situation becomes even more incomprehensible as the public discourse progresses from reports on the impending doom to reports about “rioting Greeks”, who quite ungratefully seem to be rebelling against their country’s own (...)

The Super Rich Sabotage the Arab Revolutions
by Shamus Cooke Global Research, June 20, 2011
With revolutions sweeping the Arab world and bubbling-up across Europe, aging tyrants or discredited governments are doing their best to cling to power. It’s hard to over-exaggerate the importance of these events: the global political and economic status-quo is in deep crisis. If pro-democracy or anti-austerity movements emerge victorious, they’ll have an immediate problem to solve (...)

The reason why this deadly E coli makes doctors shudder
By :
Maryn McKenna - Saturday June 11, 2011
It is past time for health authorities to curb the antibiotic misuse that created the resistance of this aberrant E Coli strain
The massive outbreak of E coli O104 in Europe has infected more than 1,800 people and left more than 500 with the potentially deadly complication known as haemolytic-uremic syndrome. It has leapfrogged borders to at least 13 countries and killed about 20 of its victims. As health authorities try to trace the outbreak to a food that can be removed from the market, (...)

TAMING THE UNIONS - The mirage of a social Europe (by C. GOBIN)
By :
Le Monde Diplo - Monday May 30, 2011
France and Italy have undertaken to introduce a 35-hour working week. But this step forward has been greeted with serious reservations by most European Union governments, and with downright hostility by employers and heads of finance. The key word is now flexibility. But it remains to be seen at this month’s European Council summit what hope there really is for a "social Europe". What is sure is that European trades unions have been hopelessly slow off the mark.

Nuclear waste wasting billions of German taxpayers’ euros
By :
Diet Simon - Thursday March 3, 2011
A cash-strapped German state will fork out billions of taxpayers’ euros to deal with nuclear waste produced by an industry two out of three Germans want axed.
And it won’t even be for permanent disposal, because worldwide there’s no safe technology for that.
For years, anti-nuclear activists have demanded to no avail that the nuclear power industry fund the waste handling problem. One group, the Bürgerinitiative Umweltschutz Lüchow-Dannenberg, which has fought waste (...)

By Nicola Nasser*
Suddenly, the U. S. - European alliance is acting to protect the “existence” of the Christian Arab minority against the Muslim Arab majority whose very existence is besieged and threatened by this same alliance, drawing on a wide spread Islamophobia while at the same time exacerbating Islamophobia among western audiences whom the international financial crisis is now crushing to the extent that it does not spare them time or resources to question the real (...)
