Inventing Terror at Home

U.S. so-called "intelligence" agencies have always been in search of
enemies, real and imagined. They are abetted in this evil enterprise by
corporate media organs that spread domestic hysteria, and by a Congress that
seems eager to classify all dissent as "homegrown terrorism." The author, a
former congressperson and current presidential candidate on the Green Party
ticket, dissects legislation that would classify as terroristic "the
activities of many organizations of the civil rights era." By such
definitions, "Dr. King's type of resistance to the U.S. version of apartheid
could surely be considered homegrown terrorism."

Major Geopolitical crisis looms in ME as world watches Olympics

08-08-2008 19:25 | Anti-militarism | Terror War | London | World

There have been major developments in the Middle East. Russia and Georgia have exchanged hostilities in South Ossetia. A massive US naval armada is enroute to the region and the stage is now set for a confrontation between all the major players in the region over petroleum resources, pipelines and geopolitical aims. Focus and organize now!

Israel Aids Georgia in Caspian Oil Pipeline Battle with Russia

08-08-2008 17:08 | Anti-militarism | World

Once again Israel starts a war that others will have to clean up.

Only a year ago I was speculating that Israel's real agenda might be to trick the US and Russia into a mutually destructive war, leaving Israel and its nuclear weapons in control of the Middle East and its oil.

This is especially interesting contrasted against the recent revelations which support the antiwar movement's contention that the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan was about oil & gas pipeline routes from the Caspian Sea Basin.

Damn, I hate being right all the time.

Information Links & Sources for the (short) war in South Ossetia

08-08-2008 16:01 | Anti-militarism | History | World

On any one day there is war somewhere on this planet. Either with a big double U or a little one. But some will be interested in information sources and news resources on the current conflict in South Ossetia because it is the first time Russian troops have engaged since the collapse of the USSR.

First link really should be to the people who invited them to engage not those who provoked them.

Racism and Genocide: Lies of Our Times

07-08-2008 19:13 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Globalisation | World

One of the hallmarks of totalitarian ideologues is the use of the big lie: a virulent attack on a defenseless group and then a categorical denial turning victims into executioners and executioners into victims.

Orwell Spins in His Grave: Plans for Iran Attack Going Ahead?

07-08-2008 18:04 | Anti-militarism | World

“Western capitals have said Iran now faces a new round of U.N. sanctions after it failed to respond positively to an offer made by six world powers aimed at ending the dispute.”

Since when does failing to accept an “offer” (so sweet) result in punishment? Threats are being made not “offers.” Such threats are in fact violations of international law themselves!

George Orwell would understand the critical importance of combating this effort at “mind subversion” and of preventing more war. Now is a great time for a reread of 1984. You history and English teachers should teach it now as well (or is such independence no longer allowed at your school)? The current context could not offer a better “teachable moment.”

With Troops on the street, the Fascists must be in power.

05-08-2008 18:46 | Anti-militarism | Migration | Other Press | World

There has been the usual mix of resigned reactions and utterly vile apologism in English language media globally today to news that 3,000 Italian soldiers are patrolling Rome, Naples & Milan with that states police in the latest measure to "stop crime" which according to Berlusconi and crew is all caused by illegal migrants, gypsies or people who carry the gene for premature balding yet inexplicably still have a full head of virile hairy hair.

Oh yes. Especially those ones.

For so long people used the wicked word "Fascist" to describe the Italian right that it has now lost all its proper power to shock. What next they asked too many times.
So we no longer read the question marks after Camps? Striped Pyjamas? Caged Ghettoes?
