Mr President Obama
The White House

Mr President,
Last month, your country distinguished itself when a commando squad of U.S. Special Forces assassinated Bin Laden, not far from Islamabad. After the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack, Bin Laden became the United State’s most wanted terrorist. According to Pakistani authorities, neither the members of the commando squad nor the C.I.A. agents who planned this operation declared (…)

Stop the War’s day conference on Afghanistan on Saturday 11 June could not be more timely. Since President Obama told the British Parliament on 25 May that the US/Nato forces were "preparing to turn a corner" and the Taliban’s momentum had been "broken", facts on the ground have exposed the reality.
The day after Obama’s speech, eight US troops were killed, the highest daily figure for four years. The next day, two British soldiers were killed. The father of (…)

France and Italy have undertaken to introduce a 35-hour working week. But this step forward has been greeted with serious reservations by most European Union governments, and with downright hostility by employers and heads of finance. The key word is now flexibility. But it remains to be seen at this month’s European Council summit what hope there really is for a "social Europe". What is sure is that European trades unions have been hopelessly slow off the mark.

Never Kick a Sleeping Dragon
Bilbo Baggins may be the only person I ever met who got away with waking up a dragon. Of course he had that weird ring that made him invisible when he did it. I knew it would never fit me or I might have tried some slight of hand.
Unfortunately the sleeping dragon at Fukushima was awakened on March 11th and the Japanese were not in possession of the ring.
The Fukushima dragon did not present the world with "the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl" (as (…)

Dr Scampa’s Lethal Doses Count Increases Dramatically
(San Francisco) – The world’s second big nuclear disaster occurred at Chernobyl Reactor No. 4 in the Ukraine on Apr 26, 1986. Simply tagged as “Chernobyl,” it is what the next big and well known nuke disaster, after the American Three Mile Island, on March 28, 1979 came to be called. “Chernobyl” ejected 30% of one 192-ton, three-month old reactor core. That’s 57.6 radioactive tons thrown into the air by fire and explosions.
The tiny (…)

Educated and perceptive people are generally aware of horrendous Mainstream media (MSM) censorship in the pro-US, pro-Zionist, democratic fascist Western Murdochracies and Lobbyocracies. But how can we expose the extent and nature of this censorship?
Murdochracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money media empires such as that of media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Lobbyocracy describes democracy perverted by Big Money corporate or other Lobbies (most notoriously, in relation to man-made (…)

Film director Ken Loach, Comedian Mark Thomas and Massive Attack frontman Robert del Naja have all added their names to a PSC letter which has been sent to Mark Thompson, Director-General of the BBC, condemning its actions in censoring the word ’Palestine’ from a song broadcast on Radio 1Xtra.

Dear Mr Thompson
We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the BBC’s (…)

It seems that the Mic Righteous controversy, in which the BBC censored the words ‘Free Palestine’ from his freestyle on 1Xtra radio, has opened a can of worms the BBC cannot ignore for much longer. Just one day after they released an official response to the hundreds of complaints over the drowning out of the term ‘Free Palestine’, a further case of censorship has emerged. On the very same radio segment, ‘Fire in the Booth’ with DJ Charlie Sloth, just a couple of months after the Mic (…)

A show on French Gypsies under the German Occupation censored by the European Commission Liaison Office (ECLO) in Kosovo.
