  • Message to the Tricontinental
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    "Now is the time of the furnaces, and only light should be seen." Jose Marti
    Twenty-one years have already elapsed since the end of the last world conflagration; numerous publications, in every possible language, celebrate this event, symbolized by the defeat of Japan. There is a climate of apparent optimism in many areas of the different camps into which the world is divided.
    Twenty-one years without a world war, in these times of maximum confrontations, of violent clashes and sudden (…)

  • Analysis: Hezbollah may have the edge
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — It’s hard to defeat a group of extremists who can mingle among civilian supporters and are pros at propaganda. Israel’s military faces the same conundrum the United States has encountered elsewhere — finding that airstrikes are costly in civilian deaths and public support, while ground attacks are risky for soldiers.
    That does not mean Hezbollah is winning militarily. But the guerrilla group has so far avoided a knockout by Israel, even as international pressure for a (…)

  • Chavez calls on developing countries to support Iran’s nuclear program
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    TEHRAN -– Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on third world countries to support Iran’s inalienable right to develop and make peaceful use of nuclear energy on Sunday.
    “Now that the world is faced with the reduction of oil output and the growth of consumerism, it is better to seek alternative energy resources that can be substituted for the fossil fuel,†he told a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Mahmud Ahmadinejad before leaving Iran for Vietnam.
    He added (…)

  • Lebanon oil spill crisis
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I don’t know how many readers have booked holidays in the Med, but it’s not looking good and the mainstream media seems to be not reporting this. Al Jazeera has picked it up, but Greenpeace and others have been reporting it since the bombing.
    The Lebanese government has appealed for help to clean up a huge oil spill along its coastline created after Israel bombed a power plant.
    The environment ministry says up to 30,000 tonnes of oil flooded into the sea after Israeli jets attacked (…)

    VHeadline.com commentarist Megan Love writes: There seems to be some dissent among VHeadline.com readers about what is really going on. My last few articles have been loaded with some heavy passages and conspiracies that are happening.
    This article should help to bring some light to at least one factor of what is going on ... especially straight after the revelation that ’something or someone somewhere’ is purchasing uranium from the Congo region that is mined illegally by natives (…)

    VHeadline.com commentarist Megan Love writes: We’ve been hearing a lot about how this or that nation isn’t allowed to obtain these or those weapons... then we’re told that Israel is at risk and is not a threat, and can be trusted.
    Really?
    In articles prior to this, we explored the different ’gang agendas’: Bush Inc versus Everyone else.

  • Who Cares? The weak and the conquered are always the ones blamed...
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Former Nordland University (Norway) associate professor, Dr. Abbas Bakhtiar writes: Those that know the “real†history of the Middle East are not shocked with the recent tragic deaths of so many innocent people. They know that this episode, along with so many other atrocities will soon be forgotten. It is the nature of things that it is always the winners and the powerful that write the history.
    The weak and the conquered are always the ones that are blamed for all the misfortune that (…)

  • Often the Abuser is so skillful at abusing the abused can’t see the Truth
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    VHeadline.com commentarist Megan Love writes: Apparently many people do not believe the truth about the insolence displayed by Israel for international law, will or peace. I don’t think the following data requires an elaborate definition to make it clear that is very wrong ... there hasn’t been a time that Israel hasn’t shown arrogant and insolent defiance for every other nation on the planet...

  • US joins North Korea in isolation
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    SEOUL - North Korean Foreign Minister Paek Nam-sun had a message for the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), an annual gathering that attracts the foreign ministers of just about any country with a stake in the region.
    Paek’s message at the gathering in Kuala Lumpur last week wasn’t that of reconciliation, or desire for talks, or talk about talks, or talks on the sidelines or any of the other terms bandied about by hopeful diplomats and journalists.
    Stolidly silent, refusing to attend a separate (…)

    Listening to the reports of the cruel and unjustifiable carnage being perpetrated by Israel over the past few weeks would depress even the most carefree of people.
    The realisation that Israel is allowed to freely breach every international law in the book without fear of ever being held responsible is an international scandal. Those nations that would wish to stop the carnage cannot and those nations that have it within their power to make it stop — that is, the United States of America (…)
