March 2013The racism that fuels the 'war on terror'Posted: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 The racism that fuels the 'war on terror' A new Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans oppose the drone-executions of US citizens on foreign soil. Then why do they support the Awlaki killing? Dangerous crossroads: Threat of pre-emptive nuclear war directed against Iran For more than a decade, Iran has been doggedly accused without evidence of developing nuclear weapons. The Islamic Republic is relentlessly portrayed by Western media as a threat to the security of Israel and of the Western World. Obama Unleashes Dogs of War in Syria The smoke screen given to the United States President Barack Obama's visit to Israel has lifted. But then, no one really bought the thesis that it was a mere kiss-and-make-up visit aimed at improving Obama's personal chemistry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that prompted the US president to jet down to the Middle East in a rare overseas trip. US training Syrian Rebels in Jordan The training has been taking place since late last year at an unspecified location, concentrating largely on Sunnis and tribal Bedouins who formerly served as members of the Syrian army, officials told The Associated Press. Kerry Hypocritically Chides Iraq for Meddling in Syria's Civil War Secretary of State John Kerry went to Iraq this weekend to meet with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and tersely request that he stop allowing Iran to use Iraqi airspace to send weapons and support to the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad. They shouldn't be supporting one side in a civil war, Kerry insisted. NATO: No intention to intervene militarily in Syria Syrian opposition asks for US forces to help defend civilians in rebel-controlled areas in north Syria with Patriots. US Never Planned to Pull Out Troops in Afghanistan by 2014, Says Top Commander General John Allen said 'zero option' was never on the table; expect conflict well after 2014 'Living with No Future': Iraqis in the Ten Year Wake of US War South Korea, US Agree on Plan for War With North US Military Would Intervene Even in 'Limited' Strikes From North Drone war: every attack in Pakistan visualised Drones have become a routine part of military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. America's absurd stab at systematising sock puppetry The US has a chance to move on from a history of clandestine foreign policy – instead it acts like a clumsy spammer America Split in Two: Five Ugly Extremes of Inequality The first step is to learn the facts, and then to get angry and to ask ourselves, as progressives and caring human beings, what we can do about the relentless transfer of wealth to a small group of well-positioned Americans. 28 Guantanamo prisoners now on hunger strike; 3 in hospital for dehydration More prisoners have joined a hunger strike at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, officials said Monday, as defence lawyers expressed alarm about one of the most sustained protests at the base in several years. Guantanamo exposes reality of US fascism They are essentially dead men who just happen to breathe. That is the grim assessment of the legal representative for the inmates in the American concentration camp, otherwise known as Guantanamo Bay. ‘Mugabe: Hero or Villain': an interview wit' filmmaker Roy Agyemang In the eyes of the international Western media, Robert Mugabe is the most controversial political leader of an African country. The president of Zimbabwe has backed agrarian land reforms that stripped thousands of white farmers, who benefitted from the colonization of the nation, of their land and returned it to the people – to the dismay of Western governments, colonizers and the Western media. Chinua Achebe Dies at 82 Posted: Saturday, March 23, 2013 Chinua Achebe, African Literary Titan, Dies at 82 Chinua Achebe, the Nigerian author and towering man of letters whose internationally acclaimed fiction sought to revive African literature and rewrite the story of the continent that had long been told by Western voices, died on Thursday in Boston. He was 82. Postscript: Chinua Achebe, 1930-2013 NYPD Racist Quotas Revealed in 'Stop and Frisk' Trial Attorney: 'That's why there is such an epidemic in these communities of people getting stopped and frisked—because the police are told to get numbers' 'Shrouded in Secrecy': US Soldiers, Drones Proliferate in Niger Human rights advocates question growing US 'strategic foothold' in West Africa Vladimir Putin rolls out the red carpet (and guards on horseback) for visit of President Xi Jinping Russian premier gives unprecedented welcome to new Chinese leader as relations thaw With US-Russia relationship toxic, Moscow looks to strengthen ties with China China's new President Xi Jinping chose Moscow, where he arrived Friday for a three-day visit, to be his first foreign destination, highlighting strengthening ties between China and Russia. Friction behind the smiles Analysis: Obama's visit will likely be hailed as a success, but disagreements on Iran nuke program, stalled peace process remain 'Most Palestinians hate Obama'; US president gets heated reception in West Bank The two presidential choppers landed in the Palestinian presidential compound in Ramallah twenty minutes ahead of schedule. The force of their landing blew plumes of dust and litter over thin lines of ceremonial guards and bagpipers saluting the arrival. Freedom Arrives in Palestine (you're welcome) US President Barack Obama, uncompromising civil rights defender and national change guru, arrived in Palestine today - a move that some of his Republican opponents didn't even think was geographically possible. Protests held in Jordan ahead of Obama visit Members of the Jordanian communist party demonstrated have demonstrated against US President Barack Obama's visit to the region by staging a protest in front of the US embassy. The Iraq War: Ten Years in Ten Numbers While observers of the Iraq War anniversary argue over the scale of the mistake -- a colossal folly rooted in imperial ambition and hubris, or simply an error based on faulty intelligence and misplaced fear -- the devil is in the details. These numbers, assembled by some of the 29 contributors to the Costs of War Project based at Brown University, help put the past 10 years in perspective. As Iraq Anniversary Fades, 'Strategic Narcissism' Stands out France, Britain fail to win easing of Syria arms ban France and Britain failed to persuade the European Union to back their call to lift an arms embargo on Syrian rebels on Friday despite warning that President Bashar al-Assad could resort to using chemical weapons. Syria's Assad vows to cleanse nation of extremists With Obama as Broker, Israelis and Turkey End Dispute Under persistent prodding from President Obama, Israel and Turkey resolved a bitter three-year dispute on Friday with a diplomatic thaw that will help a fragile region confront Syria's civil war, while handing the president a solid accomplishment as he closed out his visit to the Middle East. South Korea says source of cyberattack didn't come from China South Korean officials said a cyberattack that froze networks at broadcasters and banks this week came from a domestic source and not China, contradicting an initial conclusion. Real liars go to Tehran Uncle Marx never thought about this one: history repeating itself as double tragedy after already being a farce in the first place. Let's examine the case in hand. First of all, take a close look at this Wall Street Journal op-ed from September 2002, in the hysterical run-up towards the invasion of Iraq. Hamas appeals to Egypt after Israel halves Gaza fishing zone Hamas complained to Egypt on Friday after Israel suspended part of a Cairo-brokered truce agreement by halving Palestinian access to fishing waters in response to a rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. Sins of Omission The New York Times coverage of Hugo Chavez' death was a bunker buster of misinformation.

Obama acknowledges Israel's right of defense on Iran President Barack Obama Wednesday accepted Israel would not cede its right to confront Iran's nuclear threat to the United States, seeking to assuage anxiety over his commitment to the Jewish state.

The new slavery is digital As Leni Riefenstahl said: "Propaganda always wins if you allow it". Obama's Endgame: War with Iran? Will launching a catastrophic military offensive against the Islamic Republic of Iran be the defining moment of US President Obama's two-term presidency? The New Generation of Hypocrisy on Iran Though the recent nuclear talks with Iran ended with an apparent whiff of progress, and though the two sides have agreed to meet for further technical negotiations this month and then for political level talks next month, the U.S. continues to approach Iran with a hostility that can barely contain its hypocrisy.

He was worse than Allende. Worse than Fidel Castro. Worse than any world leader not in the American camp because he spoke out in the most forceful terms about US imperialism and its cruelty. Hugo Chavez's audacious challenge to Western power Had Hugo Chavez followed the pattern of many Third World leaders and concentrated on siphoning off his nation's wealth for personal gain, he would have attracted little attention or animosity in the West.

Bush the devil. "Yesterday, the devil came here," he said, "Right here. Right here. And it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of." He then made the sign of the cross, kissed his hand, winked at his audience and looked to the sky.
