    By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
    Right off the bat, I want to make myself clear, this is about American military veterans, the “heroes” that got all that “flag waving” when they were marched off to Afghanistan and Iraq, and 25 other countries we don’t admit to, for the past decade.
    Americans, after the last election, found their “conservative” (…)

This was followed by a program centered on nationalization of major industries, workers control, a minimum wage, land reform, and (…)

    For Mideast Regimes, U.S. Backing Means Absolute Power
    by Fadi Elsalameen Global Research, February 5, 2011
    America’s horses, Salam Fayyad and Mahmoud Abbas, I am sorry to say, have created an authoritarian police state that is actively suppressing people’s dissatisfaction with them.
    A wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East is sending a clear message to those in power − and those who aspire to be in power − in the Arab world. Together with the release of several sets of leaked (…)

    “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of his country but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
    Tom Paine, The American Crisis.
    That which we knew would happen has happened, is happening and will continue to happen until the tyrant is removed from power and a new government is securely in place.
    The crackdown has begun in earnest. The dictator has responded as (…)

  • Middle East at Strategic Crossroads, U.S. as Well
    31 January 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    The Arab world is the beating heart of the overwhelmingly Muslim Middle East, and the Arab masses are angrily moving for a change in the status quo, practically dictated by the military, economic or political hegemony of the United States, which in turn is whipped by the regional power of the Israeli U.S. strategic ally. But any change in the regional status quo would place the Middle East at a strategic crossroads that is not expected to be viewed tolerantly by the U.S. (…)

    Please, just whose creature is Mubarak?
    For thirty years he has been protected, generously supplied with aid and arms, and literally paid by the United States.
