    New video highlights the threat
    In a newly released video, titled "Will America use nuclear weapons in a military showdown with Iran?", Dr Jeorge Hirsch, Professor of Physics at University of California San Diego, compellingly draws the attention of the international community to the threats and dangers of a US nuclear attack on Iran.
    In an August 2005 issue of The American Conservative, former CIA officer Philip Girarldi raised the alarm over in-process Pentagon (…)

  • A madness for war
    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Derrick Z. Jackson
    PRESIDENT BUSH said he invaded Iraq to rid the world of a madman. It is ever more clearer Bush went mad to start it.
    This week, the New York Times reported on a confidential memo about a meeting between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Jan. 31, 2003. It was just before Secretary of State Colin Powell would go before the United Nations to convince the world of the planetary threat of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and ask for a second UN resolution to (…)

    While it is not unusual for the warmongers at the Washington Post, that historic foul nest for Operation Mockingbird , to be hyping yet another "crisis" , even THEY went overboard in their editorial published yesterday.... Entitled "A Faltering Coalition " , the editors exposed their manic desire for American involvement in yet another disastrous Mideast showdown - with Atomic Iran’ ... They lied without shame : " Iran continues to build a bombmaking capacity .... Iran’s (…)

    A list of UN Resolutions against "Israel"
    Here is a list of UN resolutions that Israel has not complied. As far as I know they have ignored every single resolution. But the situation is far worse than would at first appear, it involves the serious distortion of the official Security Council record by the profligate use by the United States of its veto power. (See Table)
    Israel’s, defiance goes back to its very beginnings. This collection of resolutions criticizing Israel is unmatched by (…)

    Tony Blair will never give up his premiership willingly. No matter how much a liability he becomes to his party, the Bliar is far too attached to the power that comes with his job. Besides which, he performs a vital task for the interests of Anglo-US capitalist imperialism. Whereas neither Bush the Chimp or Cheney have the slightest ability to play the international statesman the Bliar is a con salesman par excellence. A con-man who has the knack, whilst talking a heap of shit, to make it (…)

  • BADGER THE WAR : STOP THE JOE-MENTUM !

    On Tuesday many voters in the Badger State of Wisconsin will have the opportunity to tell the warmongers to "take their bloodbath and shove it".... No US sponsored death squads.... Not in our name..... While a single referendum in one state may not not end the war , a strong anti-war vote may send the message to the AIPC/PNAC mind sluts on Capitol Hill that the gig is up on Operation Bloodbath - in at least so far as the American people are concerned..... It is no doubt (…)

  • America’s war on the web
    2 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    IMAGINE a world where wars are fought over the internet; where TV broadcasts and newspaper reports are designed by the military to confuse the population; and where a foreign armed power can shut down your computer, phone, radio or TV at will.
    In 2006, we are just about to enter such a world. This is the age of information warfare, and details of how this new military doctrine will affect everyone on the planet are contained in a report, entitled The Information Operations Roadmap, (…)

    No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke: Defence research agency creates landmine-sniffing bugs
    by Lynda Hurst
    A rocky foreign terrain. Platoons of remotely controlled cyborg-insects sniffing out landmines, transmitting their location back to human handlers.
    Can you picture it? No?
    Well, that’s the difference between you and the scientists, "extreme thinkers," at DARPA, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, where soldier (…)

    Published on Saturday, April 1, 2006 by the Independent/UK
    Thirty-five years after the US sprayed the jungles of Vietnam with toxic defoliant, thousands of babies are still being born with horrific defects. But unlike the American veterans, no one in the war-ravaged country has received any compensation.
    On a table in the dimly lit room lay a small white bundle, tied with a silver ribbon. With a brilliant smile and a barked order, Professor Nguyen Thi Phuong had directed me to the morgue (…)

    Atrocities By Any Other Name...
    Recent reports from Iraq indicate beyond doubt that the U.S. occupation army has embarked on a new "tactic" from its menu of atrocities, in an attempt to counter the burgeoning Iraqi resistance attacks against its soldiers. "Old-style" massacres of Iraqis have become so commonplace lately that even Iraqi "allies" of the U.S. were forced to unreservedly condemn them.
    Among Western governments, alas, silence prevails. After all, the massacre (…)
