    Pakistan’s foreign relations with the United States are once again at a turning point. The US’ increasingly aggressive counter-insurgency tactics and Pakistani indignation at border violations signal a stark increase in tension between the two ’War on Terror’ allies.
    Regardless of their reservations, it is essential that Pakistan and (…)

  • Pakistan As "New" Front In Terror War.
    26 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The truck bomb that exploded in front of Islamabad’s Marriott hotel killing at least 53 people heralded in the latest salvo in the the U.S.’s and Mujahedin’s love/hate relationship. Their relationship began in 1979 in Afghanistan and Pakistan when the U.S., starting with Jimmy Carter and his National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brezezinski hatched an idea of using the most extreme militant Islamists to first draw in the Soviets (to Afghanistan) then go to war against them. At the time the U.S. (…)

    Any bombing atrocity of conceivable benefit to the US in its War on Terror (aka its War for Oil and Hegemony) is very likely to be due to US state terrorism. The leading Pakistani newspaper the Pakistan Daily has reported evidence of a US involvement in the Marriott Hotel bombing atrocity in Islamabad in which over 60 people were killed (see “What was mysterious activity going on in the Marriott Hotel Islamabad by US Marines?”: ).
    In short, according to the Pakistan Daily report, a key (…)

  • Western Mainstream Media IGNORE real 9-11 crime: 9-11 million Bush War deaths from Haiti to Afghanistan
    17 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    On September 16 2008, the major US Mainstream media organization MSNBC had the Headline: “2008 a deadly year for Afghan civilians. More than 1,400 killed so far in attacks by insurgents, U.S. and NATO” (see: ).
    This represents a HUGE UNDER-ESTIMATE of civilian deaths in US-, UK-, NATO- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan. Thus it can be estimated from authoritative UN and medical literature data that EACH YEAR in Occupied Afghanistan under-5 infant deaths ALONE total 327,000 - 90%, i.e. (…)

    For the first time, since the U.S.-hosted Annapolis conference on November 27 last year re-launched the Palestinian – Israeli negotiations, which were interrupted by the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 after the collapse of the Camp David trilateral summit, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas came out for the first time on record in Cairo on September 6 to “doubt” striking a peace deal with Israel “by the end of the year because very little time is left;" on September 10 he (…)

    CounterPunch
    For the West, everything changed but stayed the same, hard-wired and in place. Things just lay dormant in the shadows during the Yeltsin years, certain to reemerge once a more resolute Russian leader took over. If not Vladimir Putin, someone else little different.
    Russia is back, proud and reassertive, and not about to roll over for America. Especially in Eurasia. For Washington, it’s back to the future, the new Cold War, and reinventing the Evil Empire, but this time for (…)

    Proving Marx Right, Again and Again
    Karl Marx once wrote, "Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.” He wrote these words in his opening paragraph of a study of the 1851 coup of Louis Bonaparte of France. The essence of the argument made by Marx is that although "Men make their own history, ... they do not make it as they please; they (…)

    8 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Last week US Special Forces troops invaded Pakistan – these representing the FIRST Anglo troops operating in formerly British India since the fall of the British Empire in India in 1947. The British Raj was associated with 1.5 billion avoidable Indian deaths in the period 1757-1947 under genocidal British rule.
    Is this US invasion of formerly British India the beginning of a new Anglo-imposed Indian Holocaust?
    Last week, in addition to its bombing of Pakistan tribal areas, US troops (…)
