Towards a World War III scenario? Role of Israel in triggering an attack on Iran

15-08-2010 09:16

source:"Options in Dealing with Iran’s Nuclear Program", CSIS Report, March 2010
In a very real sense, the war plans against Iran, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for more than five years, threatens the future of humanity.

This war can be prevented if people forcefully confront their governments, pressure their elected representatives, organize at the local level in towns, villages and municipalities, spread the word, inform their fellow citizens as to the implications of a nuclear war, initiate debate and discussion within the armed forces.

The holding of mass demonstrations and antiwar protests is not enough. What is required is the development of a broad and well organized grassroots antiwar network which forcefully challenges the legitimacy of war, a global people's movement which criminalizes war.

Africa and Development

There's plenty of discussion on how we should lift African countries out of poverty and debt. Yet it's rarely asked what the root causes of Africa's staggering poverty, and what is the role of white Westerners in it?

CHICK COREA - call from the Gaza ghetto !

10-08-2010 21:29

CHICK COREA
Palestinian Students’ Campaign for the Academic Boycott of Israel, August 2010 ... We are a group of students from Gaza, and our only fault is being Palestinians. For that, Mr. Corea, we are imprisoned with our families and loved ones in what major Human Rights Organizations call the largest open air prison in modern history. The state you are planning to entertain, committed a process of ethnic cleansing against the indigenous people in 1948. And now it is engaged in, what the Israeli academic Ilan Pappe calls, “slow motion genocide” against the 1.5 million population of Gaza. We are writing to you from under the hermetic siege imposed on us. We are punished just because we belong to this land and hold its identity. Israel committed, what Prof. Richard Goldstone called “war crimes and crimes against humanity,” knowing very well that it would be immune from accountability. You must be aware that all aspects of our life are affected by the siege, which in itself is a gross violation of international humanitarian law.

"Blood Diamonds," Imperialist Domination and the International Courts at The Hag

10-08-2010 12:58

Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire,
Charles Taylor trial ignores who really controls the world trade in “precious metals”.
The control of the diamond industry in Liberia has never been under the control of its people. Of course this fact of history will not be brought into the current trial of Charles Taylor. Neither will the fact that the United States administration under George Bush played an instrumental role in overthrowing Taylor through the Guinea-based Liberians United for Reconciliation and Development (LURD) rebel group that received arms and training from Washington. One major criticism of the Taylor trial and other efforts to bring

PHILIPPINES: New Economics for a New Administration

07-08-2010 11:57

The dominant feature of the Arroyo administration was pervasive corruption, but its most destructive legacy in the long term will probably be its policy failures. The ascent to power of a new president, backed by a new Congress, provides the opportunity for a fundamental shift in policy in order to end poverty and re-launch the Philippines on the road to development.

Preparing for World War III, Targeting Iran - Part I: Global Warfare

04-08-2010 18:58

U.S. Global Command and Control System
War preparations to attack Iran are in "an advanced state of readiness". Hi-tech weapons systems including nuclear warheads are fully deployed. Public opinion, swayed by media hype is tacitly supportive, indifferent or ignorant as to the likely impacts of what is upheld as an ad hoc "punitive" operation directed against Iran's nuclear facilities. The prospect of war against Iran is presented to public opinion as an issue among others. It is not front-page news. The devastating consequences of a nuclear war are either trivialised or simply not mentioned. The fact that an attack on Iran could lead to escalation and potentially unleash a "global war" is not a matter of concern. The scale of anti-war protest in relation to Iran has been minimal in comparison to the mass demonstrations which preceded the 2003 bombing and invasion of Iraq.
