Political Islam continues to spread in power and influence from Cairo to Jakarta; the ascendance of its political parties - and their grassroots appeal - has received nervous attention from the Western media. Hindu fundamentalism ... has had an analogous trajectory in the bustees of Delhi and Mumbai. Pentecostal sects attract new adherents at astonishing rates from Brasilia to Johannesburg, altering political and community life in ways as yet not understood

Supply Lines Cut, Hungry Marines Asking Iraqis For Food

09-05-2006 01:57 | Anti-militarism | World

Let us set aside for the moment the US Government's obligation to provide for the troops in the field. Let us set aside for the moment that private companies are being paid vast sums of money to get food and water to the troops in a timely manner.

By leaving the troops so hungry they have to ask the Iraqis for food, the US Government has opened the door to mass poisonings of our troops by the resistance, now that it is known the US troops are going hungry.

On Thursday may 11th at 11.30 am four antimilitarist activists will be on
trial for a military train blockade in fall 2004. The public prosecutor
asks for a sentence of one year’s imprisonment, while the activist’s
lawyer pleads for acquittal. The trial has been postponed already two
times, the last one because of the absence of the witnesses (4 policemen)
for the prosecution without giving any reason.

Pentagon Junta has taken over the CIA

07-05-2006 11:12 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

With Gen. Michael Hayden's nomination to run the CIA, a military officer is in charge of every major spy agency. He must also sort out how the Orwellian 'National Clandestine Service' fits in with the CIA and other intelligence agencies. Now the killers run the cemetery.

Iraq: Bush's Wavering Halts Insurgent Peace Talks

06-05-2006 17:55 | Anti-militarism | World

Of course, weknow that the Bush/PNAC Regime is not interested in peace, because with peace, there is no plausible "justification" for their planned, permanent military presence in Iraq.

Australian security threatened by secret operations

06-05-2006 00:15 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

The above sequence is the best the forensic scientists could deduce from the crime scene and there may be small variations, but in the final analysis they matter little. What does matter is that at this precise juncture the gunman had killed twelve victims and wounded a further ten in 15 seconds flat, using only 17 rounds fired from the right hip. Such a staggering performance is on apar with the best combat shooters in the world, and two retired counter-terrorist marksmen ruefully admitted they would be hard pressed to equal such awesome speed and accuracy. Both agreed that attributing such a performance to an intellectually-impaired invalid with an IQ of 66 and severely limited cognitive functions, amounts to nothing less than certifiable insanity on the part of Bryant's accusers. In military terms a fatal shot to the upper neck counts as a head shot, so for all practical purposes those who died during the first 15 seconds were killed by head shots fired with lethal accuracy from the gunman's hip.

Moussaoui gets life: Bush displays acumen

04-05-2006 14:58 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

Just when you thought the idiot President (Americans please note) couldn’t top his previous efforts at pure imbecility, he does it again! Bush, responding to the verdict handed down to small fry terrorist, Moussaoui, stated that, “Moussaoui got a life sentence, that means he will spend the rest of his life in jail.” [Doh!] Would the real leaders of the United States please show your faces because hiding behind this cretin is becoming tedious. We would all like to know who really is determining the course of the nation since the Zionists, Wolfowitz and Perle, have jumped ship. [Remember their (now failed) plan to safeguard Israel by duping the US into invading Iraq and eliminating Saddam after the missile attacks on Tel Aviv). Israel now faces a more horrendous nightmare as a direct result of the failures in Iraq. ‘O, what tangled webs’!]

The war against Iraq was resolved as a policy. The US administration was only interested in secret servcie information that supported this policy.. Information that did not fit the long resolved war strategy was consciously ignored. .Regime change was central.

Iranian envoy asks U.N. to stop U.S. threats

02-05-2006 15:17 | Anti-militarism | World

This only makes sense, since we know that the Extremists in DC (www.newamericancentury.org) planned this War at the same time they planned for war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Given this, there is nothing in the world that can "legitimize" the planned US/Israeli invasion and subsequent occupation.
