Is Iran a Threat to Global Security? US is Waging War against the Wrong Country

05-04-2010 13:24 | Anti-militarism | History | Iraq | World

All of what's happening right now resonates with the developments which we've been a witness to two years before the invasion of Iraq. New York Times is exactly replaying the unpleasant scenario it had devised to convince us that the late dictator Saddam Hussein has had Weapons of Mass Destruction. History is being repeated once again and Iran is now subject to a backbreaking, multilateral psychological warfare in addition to the previously-running economic embargo. The very fact that Iran is still standing on its own feet demonstrates the powerful will and strong capability of this nation; however, what's really happening behind the scenes? What will happen if U.S. or its Middle East subordinate, Israel, attack Iran?

Washington Asserts Colonial-Style Control of Haiti at UN Donors’ Conference

04-04-2010 17:24 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

"Referring in his remarks to the conference to a social and human tragedy with few parallels in modern history—to which he greatly contributed during his two terms as president—Clinton spoke as if he were discussing a corporate merger or the setting up of a new hedge fund. “My job in the next 18 months,” he said, “is going to be to try to connect the inside and outside forces in a way that maximizes the input and the impact of all the players, and minimizes the frictions and transaction costs.”

Aside from setting up more garment sweatshops, the main component of the “reconstruction” plan submitted by Haitian President Préval with the blessing of Washington appears to center on relocating impoverished workers from Port-au-Prince to more rural areas. This would serve the two-fold function of permitting a gentrification of the capital, making it more attractive to foreign investors, and disaggregating the working class in the hope of dissipating its potential social and political power."

Easter 2010: Way Past Time To Break Silence On Militarism

04-04-2010 14:53 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | World

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death,” warned Martin Luther King Jr. in his famous speech at Riverside Church in New York City on April 4, 1967, 43 years ago this Easter Sunday.

The speech was titled “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.” It was delivered exactly one year to the day before his 1968 assassination in Memphis.

The people who heard that speech recognized it as one of the most powerful speeches ever given articulating the immorality of the Vietnam War and its destructive impact on social progress in the United States.

In his video message to mark the Iranian New Year (Nowruz), US President Obama accused the leaders of Iran of showing a "clenched fist" to his "extended hand". Two weeks after releasing that message, he went a step further...

Chagos Islanders Need Our Solidarity

02-04-2010 20:11 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Migration | World

Behind yesterday's seemingly positive declaration of the Chagos Islands as a "Marine Reserve" by the UK government lies a sinister not-very- well- hidden agenda...

Presidential Violence!

02-04-2010 11:30 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

Few imagined how dangerous a “Black” U.S. presidency could be for Black interests and the prospects for world peace. Barack Obama’s “success” – as it will be judged by those powers with which he has aligned – requires that “we valorize capitalist imperialism, male supremacy, militarism, and white supremacy.”

Cindy Sheehan's Interview with Hugo Chavez

31-03-2010 14:10 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

"The path is not to fly a plane into a building. It’s to create consciousness. And then the rest will come on its own. I’d like to take this moment to say hello to people of the United States. And us here in the South, we have a lot of faith. And the people in the North are going to wake up. Just like you have woken. Just like many have had an awakening. You can do great changes in the United States, and in a peaceful way, I hope. Because, what happens in the United States, those changes in the United States depend a lot...the future of the world depends on that a lot."

CSIS report designates Turkey as the optimum route for a possible Israeli attack

31-03-2010 13:40 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

Three weeks before the US President Barack Obama’s visit to Ankara in April 2009, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) published a report which claimed that Turkey would be the optimum route for a possible Israeli attack on Iran.

A new CSIS report released in March 2010 makes exactly the same point.

On Iran, is UK again 'helping' the US pursue regime change in the Middle East?

30-03-2010 12:32 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

Is London really ready to help Washington go down the primrose path of regime change in the Middle East one more time? Because, if Washington follows London’s diplomatic advice, that is, in all probability, the place where American policy will end up.

The Buds of Peace? An Interview with Workers from Tulkarem Industrial Zone

28-03-2010 21:43 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | South Coast | World

The Nitzanei Shalom settlement industrial zone was built on the land of the West Bank town of Tulkarem in the early eighties. The land was confiscated by order of the Israeli military. The name means 'the ‘buds of peace’. Presently the zone houses eight factories owned by Israelis but worked in by Palestinians. The zone has been accused of causing a deterioration in health for the nearby residents of Tulkarem, unsafe working conditions and underpaying workers.

Corporate Watch interviewed several workers from the Solor and Yamit factories:

Miliband is lying about Iran's nuclear program

28-03-2010 19:33 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Other Press | World

UK Foreign Minister David Milliband has an op-ed in the International Herald Tribune calling for sanctions on Iran that hits all the usual talking points: that Iran is going nuclear, that a nuclear-armed Iran would cause proliferation in the region, that Israel sees Iran as an existential threat would "act in self-defense" against Iran, and that Iran has failed to "come clean" on its nuclear progam. All of these points are of course entirely false.
