  • US anti-China re Tibet - US & Australia world’s WORST human rights abusers
    13 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    US Asia Sheriff, Australian PM Rudd has unwittingly exposed Australia as the World’s WORST human rights abuser in attacking alleged Chinese human rights abuses in Tibet.
    Australia’s new neo-Bush-ite PM and craven Bush America vassal, Kevin Rudd, has been touring the world for 17 days and non-specifically lecturing it on alleged China human rights abuses in Tibet (as well as cravenly supporting horrendous US militarism).
    I have no doubt that such abuses are occurring - indeed highly (…)

    "Not You! You!!!"
    "Hey! Take your hands off me! Not you! You!!!"—the voice of a young woman in the darkened cinema, an old joke.
    "Hey! Take your hands off Tibet!" the international chorus is crying out, "But not from Chechnya! Not from the Basque homeland! And certainly not from Palestine!" And that is not a joke.

    LIKE EVERYBODY else, I support the right of the Tibetan people to independence, or at least autonomy. Like everybody else, I condemn (…)

  • After Dick Cheney’s visit Saudi Arabia and Israel prepare for Nuclear War
    7 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Dick Cheney wrapped up his tour of the Middle East last week and it appears that he has accomplished his main objective: to prepare his allies for the proliferation of war.
    While the general consensus from most news sources is that “Cheney has not made meaningful headway”, reading between the lines tells a different story. The misinterpretation of what Mr. Cheney’s mission has accomplished begins with the assumption that the vice president of the United States, representing those in (…)

    Ritter says White House preparing for war in Iran
    Ed Barna – Rutland County Herald April 4, 2008
    Scott Ritter, former head of weapons inspection in Iraq who protested there were no weapons of mass destruction to justify an invasion, believes the same is true for Iran.
    But there is an 80 percent chance of war with Iran, he told about 200 people Wednesday at Middlebury College as part of a series of talks facilitated by the Vermont Peace and Justice Center.

    “The Iraq War is the greatest strategic mistake in our history.” - Lt. Gen. William E. Odom, USA, (Rtd.)
    On March 30, 2008, President George W. Bush tossed out the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener of the Washington Nationals. He was roundly booed by the capacity crowd. He is easily the worse chief executive in the history of the Republic. Bush, with V.P. Dick Cheney and their mob, lied the country into the Iraq War. If you’re keeping count, it was 935 damnable lies! (1) As a (…)

    Testimony Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Iraq
    By William E. Odom, LT General, USA, Ret. – 2 April 2008
    Good morning Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. It is an honor to appear before you again. The last occasion was in January 2007, when the topic was the troop surge. Today you are asking if it has worked. Last year I rejected the claim that it was a new strategy. Rather, I said, it is a new tactic used to achieve the same old strategic aim, political (…)

    3 April 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    A global food price crisis, a global food crisis, now threatens billions of people in the Developng World with famine and starvation.
    This catastrophe is being driven by the greed of Western countries for the profits from biofuel and carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution .
    The resource-greedy, racist and genocidal UK, EU, Australia (Oz) and US are threatening much of the world with Climate Genocide and with Food Genocide.
    In British-ruled India during the Second World War about 6-7 million (…)
