    GAZA
    The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published a report last Friday 19 about a serious dark side of the moral degeneration of the Israeli occupation army; taking ’trophy’ photographs with bodies of dead Palestinians.
    The newspaper reported on its electronic edition that bodies of ’terrorists’ became a vital part of Israeli soldiers’ photo albums. "It is hard to believe, but this is the image in the Israeli army," the newspaper said.
    The report also hinted that not all those (…)

    Introduction
    For nearly two years now, Ottawa has been quietly negotiating a far-reaching military cooperation agreement, which allows the US Military to cross the border and deploy troops anywhere in Canada, in our provinces, as well station American warships in Canadian territorial waters. This redesign of Canada’s defense system is being discussed behind closed doors, not in Canada, but at the Peterson Air Force base in Colorado, at the headquarters of US (…)

    Bellaciao chatterers, Roberto and Thomas
    Nov 5th, 2004, in a bar in Menilmontant (Paris):
    – Hey Manu, we meet all the time, we’ve been having good time and playing music together for many years now* but we haven’t been making a real interview for a long time! We could talk about the coming out of your book? In addition we have a great Dictaphone! (4bits-22kHz...) But, maybe it’s better to do it another day, more relaxed?
    – Yeah brother, tonight it’s late! But tomorrow is Fahrenheit (…)

    Is Gulf War syndrome - possibly caused by Pentagon ammunition - taking its toll on G.I.’s in Iraq?
    by David Rose
    When he started to get sick, Staff Sergeant Raymond Ramos’s first instinct was to fight. "I had joint pains, muscle aches, chronic fatigue, but I tried to exercise it out," he says. "I was going for runs, working out. But I never got any better. The headaches were getting more frequent and sometimes lasted all day. I was losing a lot of weight. My overall physical demeanor was (…)

    Bellaciao chats: conversation with Manu Chao in french
    As an offspring of the French alternative scene, Manu Chao has remained faithful to his first ideals, regardless of the huge success he has met as a solo artist. Shunning the ‘star system’, the anti-globalisation activist does not hesitate to mix politics with music, drawing his inspiration from his Spanish origins and his relentless globetrotting.
    Manu Chao - singer, songwriter, musician and globetrotter extraordinaire - has (…)

    Iran has nukes - they really really do! Scout’s honor! Cross my heart and hope to die!
    by Justin Raimondo
    We live in a recurring nightmare. That’s the only conclusion one can draw from today’s headlines, which, as we draw closer to a confrontation with Iran, bear an eerie resemblance to yesterday’s breaking news. It seems like only yesterday that a Middle Eastern exile group – the Iraqi National Congress (INC) – was feeding the U.S. government "intelligence" that drew a fearsome portrait (…)

  • Civil Wrongs in the Washington Post

    by Wayne Besen
    Last week, the Washington Post ran a “special advertising supplement” targeted to the black community that said gay people are unworthy of the equal rights that African Americans now enjoy. The supplement was in the guise of a publication called, “Both Sides Magazine”, although it wasn’t a true magazine and didn’t present both sides.
    This disgraceful propaganda - clearly backed by Focus on the Family’s James Dobson - truly broke my heart. “Both Sides” tried to incite anger (…)

    by Manuel Valenzuela
    Demonstrably flying away from the fraternity of nations has not been achieved solely by the crimes and ineptitude of the worst president in living memory. Rather, this phenomenon has lingered in the American conscious for the last fifty years, evolving slowly but surely thanks to a rapidly evolving Pax Americana and its exponentially growing exploitation of the world’s remaining natural and human resources that continues to increase at unprecedented rates. This truth (…)

    To Devil Dogs of the 3.1:
    Since the shooting in the Mosque, I’ve been haunted that I have not been able to tell you directly what I saw or explain the process by which the world came to see it as well. As you know, I’m not some war zone tourist with a camera who doesn’t understand that ugly things happen in combat. I’ve spent most of the last five years covering global conflict. But I have never in my career been a ’gotcha’ reporter — hoping for people to commit (…)

    "Dear Uncle Scrooge: I am a low-income working woman about to retire on Social Security benefits. What should I do?"
    Under Bush’s proposed new Social Security plan, you can forget about retiring, dear. Just plan to work ’til you’re 80 and die really really poor.
    "Dear Uncle Scrooge: I’m a middle-aged man with lots of bucks. What should I do after George Bush bankrupts the country?"
    Too late for that. With a 51-trillion-dollar debt and a horrific balance of payments (…)
