“Those who do not learn from history, are condemned to repeat it” -George Santana
Dan Qayyum | Editor, PKKH
After 9 years of maintaining an expensive presence on Afghan soil, thousands of lives and billions wasted in aid and reconstruction efforts, not to forget bribes to warlords and drug barons, the US and its allies have come up with a real gem of an idea – trying to buy themselves a safe exit from the Afghan mess for a (…)

Lord Goldsmith was making a further attempt to shift responsibility for the Iraq war
Philippe Marlière
guardian.co.uk, Thursday 28 January 2010 22.30 GMT
In the end, it was the Frogs’ fault. It was down to Jacques Chirac’s slippery diplomacy that the US-British-led coalition could not secure a second resolution authorising the use of force against Saddam Hussein. This is no tabloid rant but, in substance, Lord Goldsmith’s astonishing account when he appeared (…) -
UK & Churchill Crimes Exposed from British Raj Indian Holocaust to Palestinian, Iraqi & Afghan Genocides
24 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsHolocaust denial is repugnant but is entrenched in the mainstream academics, media and political Establishments of the Western Murdochracies.
In WW2 Churchill deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death, continued to foster Muslim-Hindu antipathy that led to the horrors of Indian Partition and persuaded his War Cabinet on racist Partition of Palestine. Yet the holocaust-complicit Anglo media, academic and politician Establishment is still in denial.
About a year ago I published an (…) -
Book Review: “Denial. History betrayed” by Tony Taylor ignores ongoing UK and US holocausts and genocides
23 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Holocaust denial and holocaust ignoring must be exposed because they both simply mean that awful history ignored will yield awful history repeated.

History betrayed” by Tony Taylor (Melbourne University Press, Melbourne, 2008) is a very well written, well annotated and well referenced book that deals with the phenomenon of “holocaust denial” and, in general, the denial of horrendous abuses of humanity. This is an important book that should certainly be read by everyone and should (…) -

22 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
The most fundamental of women’s rights is the right to life and for a mother the right to life of her children. Yet the US Alliance is engaged in a bloody assault on the women and children who represent three quarters of the population of the Muslim world.
Post-invasion violent deaths and non-violent avoidable deaths from deprivation in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan territories total 0.3 million, 3.5 million and 4.5 million, respectively, and post-invasion under-5 infant (…) -

6 comments2010 January 13
By Mohammed Daud Miraki, MA, MA, PhD
With the long awaited decision by the Obama Administration in regards to the new strategy for Afghanistan, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated to the point that the US commanders started using the word ‘defeat’ in their report to Washington. The word defeat has rarely been uttered by military; however, Afghanistan is the exception, where defeat is a realistic outcome. There, defeat is a reality that all invaders have faced (…) -
Liberate Western Sahara
13 January 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
Congratulations to Conservative MP Andrew Murrison for raising the issue of the Western Sahara at PMQ’s today. Sadly, Murrison’s question... "What are the Prime Minister’s views on the situation in Western Sahara" was so vague that it enabled Brown to give a similarly vague and incomprehensible reply about the need to combat terrorism. However, there have been state sponsored terrorists in Western Sahara for the last 35 years, since the Moroccans illegally invaded and occupied the country (…)
