  • Video: A Tribute to the Peace Movement
    13 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    A slideshow of photos, which pays tribute to all the gallant activists in the Peace Movement. They have persisted in their noble struggle to end the scourge of war, the barbaric practice of torture and the shredding of the U.S. Constitution. Their laudable objectives have been delayed, but they will not long be denied. Taking the advice of the poet, Edgar Allan Poe, in his splendid poem, “Eldorado,” they “ride, boldly ride,” in pursuit of the central dream of their hearts: a peace, with justice.

    13 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    Dust of Tuesday’s voting battle settled down and the battle of forming the next Israeli government has just begun. With Benjamin Netanyahu poised for premiership and Avigdor Lieberman, leader of a “racist and fascist” party (as condemned by Talia Sasson of the Merez party) very well positioned to be the king or queen maker of the next ruling coalition, the Palestinian people and the whole region will have to brace as from next March for an Israeli government of war. (…)

  • UK "Left" New Statesman joins Anglo Mainstream media in CENSORING out Obama’s war crimes
    10 February 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    I have been reading the UK New Statesman magazine for all my adult life. It provided some kind of alternative to the outrageous lying by commission and omission of the mainstream media of the Western Murdochracies. However the New Statesman has CENSORED out carefully researched data on White Establishment creature Obama’s huge war crimes for his new Masters in his first few weeks of office. Obama is the ultimate Uncle Tom – and he has just started.
    Recently I published carefully researched (…)

    "An American Strike on Iran is Essential for Our Existence": AIPAC Demands "Action" on Iran
    By GARY LEUPP
    Former CIA counterterrorism specialist Philip Giraldi, comparing the propaganda campaign against Iran to that which preceded the war on Iraq, has recently declared, "It is absolutely parallel.

  • The Second Case: Essay about Gaza and the German silence between 1945 and 1968, about Israel’s myths

    The Second Case
    Anis Hamadeh, February 5, 2009
    Summary: This essay is about Gaza and the German silence between 1945 and 1968, about Israel’s myths and the situation of the Palestinians who are labeled with negative stereotypes, while Jews are labeled with positive stereotypes. The Gaza pogrom was carried out with the participation of German desk-perpetrators and this would be the pure form of racism, emerging from the middle of society, something untenable in Germany. This second case (…)
