    April 1, 2006
    H istory repeats itself, but always with new twists. We are back to the good old days when a Declaration of War preceded the start of a war. Such declaration occurred on March 16th, 2006. Reversing the old order, we are now in the "Sitzkrieg", to be followed shortly by an aerial "Blitzkrieg" in the coming days.
    In the old days, Congress declared war, and directed the Executive to take action. In the new millenium, the Executive declared war last March 16th, then Congress (…)

  • On the Occupation’s Third Anniversary: What did Iraqis Gain from the ‘Liberation’? Mohammed Ali
    2 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    March 31, 2006
    These days see the third year since the beginning of the tragedy of the catastrophe of the invasion-turned-occupation by the world’s most aggressive countries. The Iraqi people have never experienced such a catastrophe over the course of their ancient and modern history. The invasion, its subsequent occupation and installation of a puppet regime in Iraq is a by-product of the wanton intentions of the colonialist powers and their disrespect to recognised international law. (…)

    CASMII Statement: IAEA finds no evidence of Iranian nuclear-weapons plan
    On March 2, an Associated Press report made it clear that the IAEA’s multi-year investigation has not shown "any diversion of nuclear material to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices." This verdict sharply contradicts the February 4th resolution of the Board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which reports Iran to (…)

    April 1, 2006
    MILITIAMEN from an Iranian-backed force were deliberately recruited by Britain to join the new Iraqi security services after Saddam Hussein was overthrown, the Government has admitted.
    The sectarian Badr organisation, trained in exile by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, is suspected of violently pursuing its own agenda after being allowed to enlist in national units. John Reid, the Defence Secretary, disclosed in a Commons written answer to the Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price that it (…)

    WTO, GMO and Total Spectrum Dominance
    by F. William Engdahl
    March 29, 2006
    In February, a private organization with unique powers over world industry, trade and agriculture, issued a Preliminary Draft Ruling on a three-year-old case. The case was brought by the Bush Administration in May 2003 against European Union rules hindering the spread of genetically-engineered plants and foods. The WTO ruling, which is to be final in December, will have more influence over life and death on this (…)

  • 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 (…)

  • The War Drums Are Getting Louder and Sounding a Clear Message

    by Stephen Lendman
    The way things are today, why on earth would those in charge in Washington ever want another war or maybe two of them. Already they’re embroiled in two out-of-control debacles in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the country is leaching multi-billions we don’t have to pay for them. Despite this hopeless chaos, it looks almost certain we’re now headed for a new one with Iran and may try to "double our displeasure" by adding still another with Venezuela to remove their (…)

  • Death Squads in Iraq by Robert Dreyfuss (CRG)
    1 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’ve been writing for more than two years on Iraq’s Shiite-led death squads (see "Phoenix Rising," in The American Prospect). It’s been an open secret at least that long. Since that time, the number of Iraqis kidnapped, bound and gagged, and executed - or simply gunned down in the streets - by pro-government Shiite gangs is incalculable. But it is likely to be in the range of 25,000 in two years.
    Ellen Knickmeyer, writing in the Washington Post, has been doggedly following the story (…)
