'Israel will attack Iran on its own'

22-12-2007 14:56

But of course, 'defence' pacts between the US and Israel say that the US will side with Israel, even if its Extremists start the war.

This appears to be a way for the US to start another illegal war of aggression without actively doing it.

Physicians for Human Rights Gaza Update - Another Seasonal Shame

22-12-2007 14:47

Keep in mind that these measures violate International Law as well as Israel's own laws. IMC attacks, like the ones that have been occuring worldwide, haven't been this consistent since Israel attacked Jenin. This signals that the Government is frightened of this information getting out, because it knows full well that what it's engaged in is illegal and immoral, but it just doesn't care.

It will continue in its war to wipe Palestine off the map until it is made to stop.

Oprah & Obama: Corporate Marketing for a Corporate Campaign

22-12-2007 10:07


Two of the best marketers in the U.S. teamed up for a three-state weekend extravaganza of vapid, substance-devoid entertainment posing as presidential politics. Oprah Winfrey – a certified genius of self-salesmanship – and the faux progressive, fraudulent anti-war candidate Barack Obama wowed crowds in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire in a mega-media celebration of celebrity, itself. Political theater has devolved to theater without politics. Corporate “journalists” behave like sports “color” commentators, minus real stats and facts. Next stop: Broadway – if the world doesn’t explode before curtain-time.

Christmas wishes to the Queen, UK and US Govt, past and present - will come true

21-12-2007 16:45

Hope you understand your part in the genocide in numerous countries including Chile, Afghanistan and Iraq particularly the Queen with her Nazi links. We wish you and your families experience the same as other families ... May the media who hide the truth be exposed ... May the soldiers who have killed innocent civilians recognise that they have chosen a profession that kills for the state, an unethical body that enslaves the masses to exploitation and destructive practices... to the rest, I wish an end to your suffering and hope for you, the earth and all of its glorious life

Galloway exposed over Crossrail - campaign end this fraud

21-12-2007 15:54

The real SWP-type George Galloway has now emerged as Crossrail becomes a reality for Government, the Mayor of London and his corrupt US Bechtel led Transport for London. Livingstone is getting a Crossrail as a pay-off for sweetening up the CITY who stand to get a brand new £16bn Crossrail underwritten and largely paid for by taxpayers. Crossrail will harm most of the area's Galloway represents.

East London Advertiser publishes misinformation on Crossrail via Council

21-12-2007 15:50

The Labour-led Tower Hamlets Council is peddling lies via the East London Advertiser that Spitalfields is saved from Crossrail plans to bore giant twin-tunnels (enough to take full size trains) underneath the most sensitive historic sites. There is no evidence showing homes and life will not be harmed in an area full of uncharted wells and historic homes. Crossrail will still harm the area A press release issued by the Council claimed that they would no longer be digging a hole sidestepping the damage to be caused by a route that is more about development than a rail project. Crossrail have been handing out piecemeal information in ...

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Neocon in Black Face

21-12-2007 08:31

The young, attractive Somali woman has become a darling of the American corporate media. Ayaan Hirsi Ali started out as a heroine to a portion of the Dutch public, who rewarded her with a parliamentary seat for denouncing all things Muslim. Apparently, flagellating one's own non-white, non-Christian people is a sure route to success in Europe, just like in the U.S. Ms. Ali lost her halo in The Netherlands when it was discovered she had lied on her immigration papers, but was soon recruited into the self-hating Black grouplet at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, where she pretends to be a "scholar." America - what a country! Denounce your own people, and they'll make you a star.
