  • Passive mass murder of Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan infants by war criminal US Alliance
    29 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    A huge gulf exists between international values and intra-national values – and even within countries that are ostensibly “non-racist” there are huge discrepancies in values as applied to racial minorities.
    Thus Apartheid Australia has been shocked by cases of infant deaths due to parental neglect but utterly IGNORES the ongoing Aboriginal genocide at home (9,000 avoidable Indigenous deaths annually) and Apartheid Australia’s involvement in the passive mass murder of 0.3 million Occupied (…)

  • Obama Stuck between Wars on Iraq, Afghanistan
    26 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    It was extraordinarily questionable why U.S. President Barak Obama chose not to credit the War on Afghanistan with a separate paragraph in his speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 23, to “note” the war on Iraq with only a four – line paragraph, and instead to escalate his war of words on Iran, as if the expansion of the war on Afghanistan into Pakistan was not enough over-depletion of an already exhausted U.S. human, financial and military (…)

    19 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    From very young I received at my home, when I was living in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, many young Saharawi medical students and hear from his own lips the oppressive regime and violator of human rights are subjected to by the regime of Morocco for the simple fact assert to have expression of their national identity, talking or singing, I saw the sadness in his faces of the oppressed people and at the same time, the twinkle in her eyes of heroic hearts fearlessly fighting for the sovereignty and (…)

    18 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    Well, just as we al know a couple years ago, Iran IS NOT out to build a nuclear bomb. But the black propaganda concocted by Israel will continue unabated.

    The U.S. intelligence community is reporting to the White House that Iran has not restarted its nuclear-weapons development program, two counterproliferation officials tell NEWSWEEK. U.S. agencies had previously said that Tehran halted the program in 2003.

  • 68.4% of weapons sold to foreign powers are supplied by the US: “Quit arming the fuck’n world Man!”
    8 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The business of death and destruction is booming for weapons manufacturers operating in the United States of America.
    As reported in the New York Times, according to a new Congressional study, “the United States signed weapons agreements valued at $37.8 billion in 2008, or 68.4 percent of all business in the global arms bazaar.” This is 10-times more than their closest rival, Italy, at $3.7 billion.
    Keep in mind that this boom in business is occurring during a global economic (…)

  • Falling into the Trap

    By David Glenn Cox
    KUNDUZ, Afghanistan (Reuters) - A U.S. warplane summoned by German troops fired on hijacked fuel trucks in Afghanistan before dawn on Friday, killing as many as 90 people in an incident that could trigger a backlash against NATO.
    A friend of mine was a Vietnam vet and had told me his story of a young Vietnamese child who had run towards the lead armored personnel carrier in the column directly ahead of his own. The boy was perhaps nine or ten, and as he ran towards the (…)

  • Fundamentally Freund: All settlers are not created equal
    6 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By MICHAEL FREUND
    It is a disputed tract of land the size of Britain, it has been under occupation for nearly four decades, and hundreds of thousands of its Arab residents have been turned into refugees as a result of an aggressive and expansionist settlement policy.
    Periodic peace talks between the protagonists have failed, UN resolutions on the subject remain unimplemented and the basic human rights of those living under occupation are continually and summarily ignored. Yet despite the (…)

  • Forgotten Holocausts - Polish Holocaust (1939-1945), Iraqi Holocaust (1990-), Afghan Holocaust (2001-)
    3 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    On this 70th anniversary of the Nazi German invasion of Poland we must remember the horrendous reality of the Polish Holocaust (6 million Poles killed by the Nazis) that has been largely hidden from most people because of racist Zionist (RZ) propaganda that successfully identifies the term "Holocaust" with the mass murder of Jews in the Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) rather than with the WW2 European theatre Holocaust in general (30 million Slav, Jewish (…)
