«The terrorist war against Cuba, which was most extreme under Kennedy, was uncontroversially in violation of international law.»
Interview of Noam Chomsky
Liberté 62 : «In your book What We Say Goes you declare that «the USA are the outlaw land par excellence, free from the International Law».

Economic Fascism and the Bailout Economy
by Gary North
I have lived through three monumental historical events. I remember only two of them.

The Gaza pogrom was carried out with the participation of German desk-perpetrators and this would be the pure form of racism, emerging from the middle of society, something untenable in Germany. This second case (…) -

29 January 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
“[Poe] would dress in ‘black’...It was his color...He liked to wander through cemeteries.” - Peter Ackroyd.
Edgar Allan Poe died at the age of 40, in Baltimore, Maryland, under mysterious circumstances. The exact truth of what really happened to him has evaded historians. I think even the experts on the popular TV program, “Forensic Files,” would be baffled by the case. Poe is a both a legendary and tragic figure. He is one of America’s greatest men of letters. Was his death related to “a (…) -

In 1963, Stanley Milgram, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale, published his infamous experiment on obedience to authority. Its conclusion was that most ordinary people were willing to administer what they believed to be painful, even dangerous, electric shocks to innocent people if a man in a white lab coat told them to.
For the first time in four decades, a researcher has repeated the Milgram experiment (…) -

Zionist nationalist myth of enforced exile: Israel deliberately forgets its history
An Israeli historian suggests the diaspora was the consequence, not of the expulsion of the Hebrews from Palestine, but of proselytising across north Africa, southern Europe and the Middle East
By Schlomo Sand
