    Essay: Uranium contamination of the civil population, especially by the US-NATO-Israel led wars

    by Doug Westerman
    In 1979, depleted uranium (DU) particles escaped from the National Lead Industries factory near Albany, N.Y.,which was manufacturing DU weapons for the U.S military. The particles traveled 26 miles and were discovered in a laboratory filter by Dr. (…)

    Losing the Plot – Britain’s losses in Afghanistan
    by Lesley Docksey
    Global Research, August 17, 2009 So far, the cost to the British taxpayer of our current ‘Great Game’ in Afghanistan is £12 billion(1). If only our eight years there had cost nothing but money. Leaving aside the horrendous cost to the Afghan people and their land, Britain’s forces have suffered loss, not least, because of the muddle, ignorance and incompetence of those who sent them to war, a loss of face. As it is, (…)

    KABUL — It is the open secret no one wants to talk about, the unwelcome truth that most prefer to hide. In Afghanistan, one of the richest sources of Taliban funding is the foreign assistance coming into the country. (…)

  • How UN can provoke terrorism !!
    16 August 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    UN Secretary-General Envoy, Christopher Ross, is working on his own plan to resolve the thirty-four-year-old Western Sahara conflict. The details of the plan have not yet been released. He has made no secret of his desire to shake things up in the Sahara to unsettle the diplomatic war of attrition being waged by Morocco and the Front Polisario.
    The major question facing Ross is the Western Saharans’ right of self-determination, which vexed the previous mediators, James Baker, the former US (…)

  • CIA Trained Security Chiefs Elected to Palestinian Leadership
    16 August 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The US government has been meddling in the Palestinian internal affairs since at least 2003. Its effort is to transform the Palestinian national movement for liberation and independence into a more compliant or quisling government, willing to accede to Israel’s political and security demands..

  • Talk peace, make war
    15 August 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    It is inconceivable that the Polisario would agree to any arrangement that didn’t give the Western Saharans control of their natural resource assets, most notably the phosphates and fish. These alone would give the small population of the area a good per capita income, probably well above Morocco’s. And if oil is discovered does anyone really think that Morocco would allow the Western Sahara to control the petrodollars? Inconceivable.
    The Moroccan military is heavily entrenched in the (…)

  • Why self-determination for Western Sahara?
    15 August 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Western Sahara builds the whole case for its self-determination on inherited colonial borders. Between 1884 and 1975, whatever the prehistory, it was a separate territory with its own colonial master (Spain). And every single such colonial territory in Africa, except Western Sahara, has been granted independence: the last ones were Namibia in 1990 and Eritrea in 1993. (A belated Asian case, very similar to W. Sahara, was East Timor, which became independent only in 2002 after lengthy (…)

    Iraq Exclusive:
    By Morton S. Skorodin, M.D. Axis of Logic Tuesday, Aug 11, 2009
    Hicks and colleagues report in the April 16, 2009 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine regarding civilian non-combatant deaths during the current Iraq War period (2003-2008) was seriously flawed. Their stated goal was to analyze the causes of these deaths. To accomplish this purpose they used the database of Iraqbodycount.org that estimates 91,358 deaths due to “armed violence”. For this report the (…)

    Italy, Germany and Japan: Former World War II Axis Nations Repudiate Bans against "Preparing for War"
    by Rick Rozoff
    Global Research, August 13, 2009 Stop NATO
    A press report on August 10 revealed that the government of Italy is planning to modify if not dispense with its post-World War II constitutional limitations on conducting offensive military operations; that is, to reverse a 61-year ban on waging war.
