    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By CRAIG S. SMITH
    PARIS, March 28 - Armed with hot dogs and baguettes, balloons, buttons, banners and, of course, gallons of red wine, France’s major trade unions set out Tuesday to change the law, or to bring down a prime minister trying.
    Responding to their rallying cry, more than a million people showed up in the streets, marching in the familiar protest parades that the unions sponsor from time to time. In Paris, the slow-moving street fair stretched for miles.
    "The unions haven’t (…)

  • Uri Avnery: What the Hell has happened?
    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Uri Avnery
    THE MOST dramatic and the most boring election campaign in our history has mercifully come to an end. Israel looks in the mirror and asks itself: What the hell has happened?
    On the way to the ballot box, in the center of Tel-Aviv, I could not detect the slightest sign that this was election day. Generally, elections in Israel are a passionate affair. Posters everywhere, thousands of slogan-covered cars rushing around ferrying voters to the ballot stations, a lot of noise. (…)

  • A madness for war
    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Derrick Z. Jackson
    PRESIDENT BUSH said he invaded Iraq to rid the world of a madman. It is ever more clearer Bush went mad to start it.
    This week, the New York Times reported on a confidential memo about a meeting between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Jan. 31, 2003. It was just before Secretary of State Colin Powell would go before the United Nations to convince the world of the planetary threat of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and ask for a second UN resolution to (…)

    Tony Blair will never give up his premiership willingly. No matter how much a liability he becomes to his party, the Bliar is far too attached to the power that comes with his job. Besides which, he performs a vital task for the interests of Anglo-US capitalist imperialism. Whereas neither Bush the Chimp or Cheney have the slightest ability to play the international statesman the Bliar is a con salesman par excellence. A con-man who has the knack, whilst talking a heap of shit, to make it (…)

  • War And Death of The American Dream
    2 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I hve written a book called WAR AND DEATH OF THE AMERICAN DREAM that details how the Global Elite have stolen our government and used it against the American people to establish their New World Order. I make it easy for everyone to connect the dots and figure out what the media, politicians, and bankers don’t want you to know. The Global Elite is a toxic cancer that means to bury out freedoms and liberties once and for all so that they can rule the world. Please check out this book at (…)

    March 31, 2006
    A government decision to cut food rations has hurt poor Iraqis who cannot afford high prices on the open market, say economists and Baghdad residents.
    Despite rising poverty, the government has decided to cut the food ration budget from four to three billion US dollars in 2006, as the country shifts from a socialist to a free market economy.
    The Iraqi government has provided subsidies on basic food items such as flour (…)

  • Billionaire Thailand PM gives Satan Sign before phony election
    2 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Is the Thai PM telling the world that he is a satan worshipper?
    Thailand’s prime minister has a giant fortune, a loving and grateful family and the adoration of some, if not all, of his public.
    To that list he can now add what might appear every politician’s dream: an election without an opposition. Thaksin Shinawatra stands tomorrow in a poll in which his party’s only company on the ballot paper will be a list of fringe groups and "None of the Above" - the box that is his only (…)
