    Well, the jig is up. A small group of alert citizens in a remote coastal California county has pulled the curtain from over our Federal Chemtrail Program (FCP).

    By David Swanson
    President Nixon famously said that if the President does it, it’s legal. And he didn’t think that up on his own - that’s a way of thinking that has long had currency in America.
    Today there are over 150 Out of Iraq events like this one happening around the country. A dozen members of Congress are taking part. Numerous candidates for Congress, local elected officials, and national leaders of the peace movement are speaking. Large crowds are gathering. We’ll see what sort (…)

  • CIA Gave Iran Nuclear Plans
    9 January 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By: By Josh Meyer
    WASHINGTON - In a clumsy effort to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program, the CIA in 2004 intentionally handed Tehran some top-secret bomb designs laced with a hidden flaw that U.S. officials hoped would doom any weapon made from them, according to a new book about the U.S. intelligence agency.
    But the Iranians were tipped to the scheme by the Russian defector hired by the CIA to deliver the plans and may have gleaned scientific information useful for designing a bomb, writes (…)

    By Mary MacElveen
    As each New Year starts many in a “Polly Anna” fashion and with a deep abiding faith in a higher power people believe that it will be better than the last. We celebrate as the seconds pass by where we enter the New Year only for the crushing blow of reality to hit us. We are living through some sort of twilight zone or time loop that has us repeating the same year we left.
    What we left was one of the bloodiest years yet in Iraq and now it is happening all over again (…)

    Now is the time for all those who are genuinely interested in seeing the power-sharing government in the north restored and the peace process advanced to show leadership and make a real and genuine effort to end the political vacuum.
    Last year, despite all of the short-term difficulties and obstacles placed in the (…)

Police and Civil Administration officials arrived at the scene, as did the security coordinator for settlements in (…)

    Before Western leaders seek sanctions against Iran, they should put their own houses in order on nuclear weapons and nuclear power
    by Mary Riddell
    This week, barring a last-minute climb-down, Iran may get back to building a nuclear bomb. It is a small moment, and a big one. Small because the threat has lingered for years; big because the consequences could convulse the region and the world.
    If Iran ends its 30-month freeze on uranium tests, the long diplomatic mission by the West will (…)

    by Bill Christison and Kathleen Christison
    January 1, 2006 Counterpunch
    The peace movements of the entire world should be in crisis mode right now, working non-stop to prevent the U.S. and Israel from starting a war against Iran. (See the James Petras article in CounterPunch on December 24, 2005 titled Iran in the Crosshairs for the best summary of the present situation.) The reckless and unnecessary dangers arising from such a war (…)

  • Ariel Sharon - Murderis Vulgaris

    by Robert Fisk
    Israel’s Prime Minister was a ruthless military commander responsible for one of the most shocking war crimes of the 20th century, argues Robert Fisk. President George Bush acclaims Ariel Sharon as ’a man of peace’, yet the blood that was shed at Sabra and Chatila remains a stain on the conscience of the Zionist nation. As Sharon lies stricken in his hospital bed, his political career over, how will history judge him?
    I shook hands with him once, a brisk, no-nonsense (…)
