Threatening Iran Is Wrong

01-05-2010 21:39 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | World

The antiwar movement everywhere should be extremely alarmed about the Obama Administration’s declaration in April that Washington can target Iran with nuclear weapons. Although vague “all options are on the table” warnings were also issued under George W. Bush, now the threat of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran is enshrined in the revised Nuclear Posture Review of the United States.

Nuclear weapons & interceptor missiles:Twin pillars of US-NATO military strategy

29-04-2010 15:54 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | History | World

Discussions held by the NATO members on the role of nuclear arms in Europe a generation after the end of the Cold War are in line with the Nuclear Posture Review released last month by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Since 1949, NATO’s policy has obligated European member states to adhere to what is called nuclear sharing or nuclear burden sharing; that is, nuclear bombs stationed on bases in Europe are to be delivered by the host nations’ air forces.
Europe will not be free of nuclear arms until NATO is disbanded.

All efforts towards advancing the national democratic revolution in Philippines!

28-04-2010 11:18 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

Today we celebrate with utmost joy the Filipino people’s gallant struggle for national liberation and genuine democracy under a united front. Thirty seven years ago on April 24, in the face of the fascist Marcos dictatorship, revolutionary organizations came together to form the National Democratic Front (NDF). Through the years the NDF has proven its commitment in advancing the revolutionary struggle of the Filipino people to overthrow the semi-colonial, semi-feudal system which oppresses, deprives and exploits majority of the masses.

Media Disinformation: Syria Threatens Israel’s Security. One Big Smokescreen

27-04-2010 18:23 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Other Press | World

In the self-sensationalising world of modern media, some truths are better witnessed than told. Over the past fortnight, major media outlets have converged on Syria’s alleged delivery of scud missiles to the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah. By examining how the story first came to limelight, as well as the manner in which media sources have uncritically covered the story, one can begin to notice the vastly degenerated state of today’s media and its deeply polarising effects.

Instruments of global domination:US spends billions on new global strike weapons

27-04-2010 12:36 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

The Obama administration is spending billions of dollars to develop new weapons systems, including powerful conventional warhead missiles capable of striking any target in the world within less than an hour.

Tony Blair, very close to being indicted for war crimes in Malaysia

24-04-2010 18:22 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Social Struggles | World

While on a speaking engagement in Malaysia organized by "Success Resources Company", former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was the object of an articulate protest movement demanding his indictment for war crimes.

This was no ordinary protest. Tony Blair has been accused of war crimes in a legal initiative led by the country's former Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

Upon entering the main convention hall, Tony Blair was very close to being served with an indictment for war crimes.

While the unfolding events have been acknowledged by the Malaysian press, Tony Blair's visit to Malaysia has passed virtually unnoticed in the United Kingdom. In fact, outside of Malaysia, the issue has not received press coverage.

Deafening silence and complicity of the British media? One would expect that people in Britain would want to know what happened to Tony Blair in Kuala Lumpur.

Sociopath nation: The New York Times on Iran

24-04-2010 09:31 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

We are ruled by sociopaths and here is all the proof you need tightly encapsulated in one New York Times editorial "264 Days and Counting".

This one editorial lays bare for the world to see the criminally insane collective mindset of American political, media, and corporate elites.

Iran’s ace weapon: Why the US won’t gamble on an Iranian war

23-04-2010 13:00 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

Given the crescendo of veiled and increasingly unveiled military threats by the US and Israel against Iran, one has to admire the Iranians for their coolness under extreme pressure. The latest despicable – and in some legal opinion, criminal – threat by the White House that it would use atomic weapons against nuclear-unarmed Iran in the event of a conflict has been dismissed by the authorities in Tehran, who say they remain determined to pursue their civilian nuclear energy programme.

"No blood for opium": The Afgan War's hidden agenda is to protect the drug trade

22-04-2010 19:59 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

Afghanistan’s major product is opium and opium production has increased remarkably during the present war. The current NATO action around Marjah is clearly motivated by opium. It is reported to be Afghanistan’s main opium-producing area. Why then won’t people consider that the real agenda of the Afghan war has been control of the opium trade?

Relentless Global Drive: NATO On Six Continents In Seven Days

22-04-2010 12:21 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

Most of the world has reconciled and submitted itself to the domination of one global military superpower and its equally global military alliance with barely a murmur. An unparalleled political and moral capitulation.

Obama is masking the real issue: US Threatens to nuke Iran

20-04-2010 11:54 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | World

“What is disturbing about this summit in Washington is the fact that the real threat to global security is nuclear war between countries. It is not Al-Qaeda which in any event is an intelligence asset of the CIA, which is the threat, ”Chossudovsky acknowledged. “It is an elusive network of organizations. The real threat is the threat of nuclear war and particularly the threat of a nuclear attack by the United States and Israel directed against Iran.”

Obama’s lies about Iran

16-04-2010 20:35 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

The Peace Prize winner in the White House continues to beat the drums of war with Iran, in perfect synch with the corporate media orchestra. “The New York Times was made privy to what has been called a ‘parlor game,’ of ‘Imagining an Israeli Strike on Iran’” – apparently in the spirit of the old motivational slogan, “If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.”

Open letter to UK Defence Minister: Free Joe Glenton now

15-04-2010 22:51 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Joe Glenton is an ordinary, decent man who committed his life to the defense of his country only to find himself participating in an aggressive war against a poor and far-off country that has neither the resources nor the will to be any threat to his own country. He is now being criminalized for his unwillingness to participate in an illegal, immoral war and for speaking out against the actions of criminals with power.
