Stop the War’s day conference on Afghanistan on Saturday 11 June could not be more timely. Since President Obama told the British Parliament on 25 May that the US/Nato forces were "preparing to turn a corner" and the Taliban’s momentum had been "broken", facts on the ground have exposed the reality.
The day after Obama’s speech, eight US troops were killed, the highest daily figure for four years. The next day, two British soldiers were killed. The father of (…)

Never Kick a Sleeping Dragon

1 commentNever Kick a Sleeping Dragon
Bilbo Baggins may be the only person I ever met who got away with waking up a dragon. Of course he had that weird ring that made him invisible when he did it. I knew it would never fit me or I might have tried some slight of hand.
Unfortunately the sleeping dragon at Fukushima was awakened on March 11th and the Japanese were not in possession of the ring.
The Fukushima dragon did not present the world with "the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl" (as (…) -

Dr Scampa’s Lethal Doses Count Increases Dramatically
(San Francisco) – The world’s second big nuclear disaster occurred at Chernobyl Reactor No. 4 in the Ukraine on Apr 26, 1986. Simply tagged as “Chernobyl,” it is what the next big and well known nuke disaster, after the American Three Mile Island, on March 28, 1979 came to be called. “Chernobyl” ejected 30% of one 192-ton, three-month old reactor core. That’s 57.6 radioactive tons thrown into the air by fire and explosions.

29 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
Educated and perceptive people are generally aware of horrendous Mainstream media (MSM) censorship in the pro-US, pro-Zionist, democratic fascist Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies. But how can we expose the extent and nature of this censorship?
Murdochracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money media empires such as that of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Lobbyocracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money corporate or other Lobbies (most notoriously, in relation to man-made (…) -

In further case of censorship, the BBC deny Palestine’s right to exist
28 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
It seems that the Mic Righteous controversy, in which the BBC censored the words ‘Free Palestine’ from his freestyle on 1Xtra radio, has opened a can of worms the BBC cannot ignore for much longer. Just one day after they released an official response to the hundreds of complaints over the drowning out of the term ‘Free Palestine’, a further case of censorship has emerged. On the very same radio segment, ‘Fire in the Booth’ with DJ Charlie Sloth, just a couple of months after the Mic (…)

Obama’s speech involved egregious lying by commission and lying by omission, holocaust ignoring and holocaust denial. This widely disseminated, shameless lying by Obama promises more death and destruction for Humanity at the hands of the UK-US Anglo-American state terrorist tag-team.
For the transcript of the speech see: .

The Israeli reality that Obama doesn’t understand
25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
It’s impossible to understand why a country and a people continue to refuse to do the right thing, something that could have been done a long while back.
"President Obama doesn’t understand the reality," according to "associates" of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who spoke after the meeting between the two leaders. And when that is the headline of the daily Yisrael Hayom, it is clearly Netanyahu’s headline: "President Obama doesn’t understand the reality."
You can’t blame him: It (…)
