http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2016/07/525951.html
It was an American-made helicopter abusing the name of a First Nations tribe which penetrated Syrian territory coming from Golan late June, in bright daylight approached a nameless Czech-made ambulance car, and fired a B7EV type air-to-ground missile killing a patient plus other inmates en route to a civilian hospital. One of many, too many casualties in a foreign-policy-fuelled war, it seemed, far too little a scandal to stand out among the daily dead – but now evidence leaked via the Alternative Intelligence Review site that this particular attack was triggered by Turkish surveillance authorities providing their Israeli counterparts with fake intelligence it would have been a senior Hamas operative wounded by insurgent snipers while seeking diplomatic contact with the Assad government. Yet instead Telaviv assassinated a Mongolian deli owner seeking stroke treatment. <br/>2016-07-16T08:11+02:002016-07-16T08:11:07+00:00Anti-militarismFlotilla to GazaPalestineTerror WarUKWorldAbraham LudendorffenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8The Blair Bridge Project (& solidarity with Manning & Assange)

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2016/07/525872.html
The decision to host the NATO Summit in Warsaw has turned Poland's largest metropolitan area into a military camp and a nightmare for the visitors and residents. Utilizing the unconstitutional anti-terrorist law that went into effect on July 1, the government has put Warsaw under terrorist alert, allowing for implementation of the harsh security measures previously possible only under the martial law.2016-07-09T14:15+02:002016-07-09T14:15:41+00:00Anti-militarismMigrationNATO 2014Terror WarWorldmilenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8The European arms dealers profiting from the refugee crisis

Major European arms dealers involved in selling arms to the Middle East are some of the same corporations now profiting from militarising EU’s borders, reveals a new report researched by the Dutch NGO Stop Wapenhandel and published by Transnational Institute. The report, Border Wars, examines the booming border security market that has emerged to take advantage of the EU’s announced goal of 'fighting illegal immigration'; and which has gathered pace in the wake of the arrival of thousands of refugees from war-torn Syria.2016-07-04T12:57+02:002016-07-04T12:57:00+00:00Anti-militarismMigrationUKStop WapenhandelenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8UG#736 -Why 9/11 Is Still The Issue (Understanding Institutional Silence on 911)
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2016/07/525777.html
We begin with an excellent academic paper on the historical and legal matters surrounding 9/11. Amy Baker Benjamin asks why, given both any abundance of evidence, and ample historical precedent for the use of false flags to initiate wars, has the UN singularly failed to carry out any investigation into the US government's claims surrounding the events of Sep 11th? Any why does >99% of academic scholarship on the topic not tackle substantive issues such as who actually carried out 9/11 and on what grounds? In our second hour, we hear a recent interview with Chris Bollyn which connects more of the 9/11 dots, pointing the finger at Mossad.2016-07-04T08:02+02:002016-07-04T08:02:38+00:00Anti-militarismSheffieldSocial StrugglesTerror WarUKWorldRobin UptonenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Communist Party of the Philippines supports state burial for Marcos

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2016/06/525409.html
United Nations Special Observer for Occupation Cessations Mok Ni Lim at a press briefing in Darwin, Australia concluded a round trip to the Pacific island of Samoa with the diagnosis that the nation´s indigenous language constitution left behind from the military occupation period is to be considered legally invalid. Samoa recently experienced foreign troops pulled out as part of a regional reshuffle, leaving the island without military presence as there are bigger deployments within the area. The community has since struggled with the political desire for independence on one hand and a hangover from the loss of vassal revenues through foreign military spending on the other. Lim said even if there was a reliable environment setting the belief that troops could not return more likely than otherwise, the occupation-era wording was as unsuitable to assert independence as a wet paint sign in a gold rush.2016-06-15T19:50+02:002016-06-15T19:50:10+00:00AnalysisAnti-militarismGlobalisationUKWorldRoss EschersbachenTexttext/html; charset=UTF-8Akbayan rejects Chinese call for dropping West Philippine Sea arbitration
