    US Predators Provoke Pakistan
    by Michael Carmichael
    Global Research, March 26, 2009 PlanetaryMovement.org
    Commenting to the New York Times about the rapidly deteriorating situation in Pakistan, Admiral Dennis Blair, the Director of National Intelligence, admitted, “No one that I have talked to has come up with a grand strategy for that area.”
    Given the now official fact of a strategy vacuum for Pakistan as well as the smoldering carcass of US strategy in Afghanistan, the US has (…)

    Netanyahu and the ‘Future of the Peace Process’
    by Ramzy Baroud
    Global Research, March 27, 2009
    It seems that the Palestinian-Israeli ‘peace process’ is in serious jeopardy. At least, this is the immediate impression one gleans from media reports from Israel. Unlike, Israel’s Kadima and Labor party ‘moderates’, Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu is largely considered to be a possible impairment to the negotiations aimed at facilitating a two-state solution. The media story, (…)

  • Vacuum..
    26 March 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    I think I have already mentioned it - I hate domestic work. I find no glory, no satisfaction and no pleasure in cleaning, sweeping, dusting, washing and vacuuming...
    I noticed my rug, it needs a clean sweep. Major vacuuming. An industrial, highly efficient, manufactured machine to suck out all the dust...
    But I force myself to do it. I think of it as a stoic enterprise in "character building". And while am building my character, I fantasize that this huge industrial complex has invented (…)

  • China suggests switch from dollar
    24 March 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    China’s central bank has called for a new global reserve currency run by the International Monetary Fund to replace the US dollar.
    Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan did not explicitly mention the dollar, but said the crisis showed the dangers of relying on one currency.
    With the world’s largest currency reserves of $2tn, China is the biggest holder of dollar assets.
    Its leaders have often complained about the dollar’s volatility.
    China has long been uneasy about relying on the (…)

  • 4.2 million victim US-UK-Australian-Zionist Iraqi Holocaust & Western Media pro-Zionist Holocaust Denial
    22 March 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    Genocide denial and holocaust denial are wrong and utterly repugnant for 3 major reasons: (1) it is falsehood; (2) it is profoundly offensive to the memory of the victims, survivors of such atrocities, their loved ones and indeed to all of decent humanity; and (3) it increases the probability of repetition of such awful crimes – history ignored and history denied yields history repeated.
    Indeed it is for these sorts of reasons that Germany recently controversially proposed a measure that (…)

    As summarized in the title, 667 US soldiers have died so far in the Afghan War as compared to 4-6 million violent and non-violent Afghan excess deaths. So far, in the first 2 months of the Obama presidency, non-violent Indigenous Asian excess deaths and under-5 infant deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories total about 100,000 and 70,000, respectively. Obama could stop all 3 holocausts tomorrow but he simply won’t - "yes we can" clearly doesn’t extend to cessation of (…)
