    Food crisis hits local supermarkets
    JJ Levine , THE JERUSALEM POST Apr. 28, 2008
    As worldwide rice prices are hitting record levels in fear of a shortage of rice, the knock-on effects are just beginning to be felt in Israeli supermarkets.
    Shoppers at some branches of supermarket chains Supersol and Mega on Friday and Saturday were amazed to find signs limiting purchases to two kilograms of rice per customer.
    In a statement released Sunday, Supersol explained that its policy was an (…)

    Police in southern China have discovered a factory manufacturing Free Tibet flags, media reports say.
    The factory in Guangdong had been completing overseas orders for the flag of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
    Workers said they thought they were just making colourful flags and did not realise their meaning.
    But then some of them saw TV images of protesters holding the emblem and they alerted the authorities, according to Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper.

    They’re called "Refuseniks" but not for refusing to serve. They’ve done it proudly and courageously, and here’s how "Courage to Refuse" members state their position:
    "We, reserve officers and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)....have always served in the front lines....were first to carry out any mission, light or heavy, (and we did it) to protect the State of Israel and strengthen it.
    We....served....long weeks every year, in spite of dear cost to our (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    Strother Martin, in the classic film, "Cool Hand Luke," uttered those immortal words: “What we’ve have here is failure to communicate.” That sums up the current war of words between the Peoples Republic of China and CNN. Part of this situation is pure, heavy-handed, government propaganda, and part is American arrogance, quick to point out the sty in other’s eyes while unwilling to deal with the log in their own. A failure to communicate, based on culture, politics, (…)

    China and America: The Tibet Human Rights PsyOp
    The human rights issue has become the centerfold of media disinformation.
    China is no model of human rights but neither are the US and its indefectible British ally, responsible for extensive war crimes and human rights violations in Iraq and around the World. The US and its allies, which uphold the practice of torture, political assassinations and the establishment of secret detention camps, continue to be (…)

    By Joshua Holland, AlterNet http://www.alternet.org/story/82212/
    Here’s a thought exercise.
    Imagine if the greatest minds this country has to offer were assembled in a conference room and tasked with drawing up a post-invasion plan that would lead to sectarian bloodshed in a country like Iraq — where different groups had long lived side-by-side, intermarried and thought of themselves first and foremost as Iraqis, rather than as Shiites and Sunnis.
    Their first recommendation would (…)

    American Hegemony Is Not Guaranteed
    Exactly as the British press predicted, last week’s congressional testimony by Gen. David Petraeus and Green Zone administrator Ryan Crocker set the propaganda stage for a Bush regime attack on Iran. On April 10 Robert H. Reid of AP News reported: "The top US commander has shifted the focus from al-Qaida to Iranian-backed ’special groups’ as the main threat . . . The shift was articulated by Gen. Petraeus (…)
