Saddam's execution: the western antiwar movement - the left boot of imperialism?

30-12-2006 21:16 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

The silence of the western antiwar movement on the lynching of Saddam Hussein is deafening and is increasingly beginning to prove what a lot of discerning people have suspected all along – that the mainstream anti-war movement (including large parts of its left wing) in the west is the well concealed left boot of western imperialism, the conscience of the conqueror.

Israeli journalist: "Sharon planned the assassination of Arafat"

30-12-2006 20:13 | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

Uri Dan, an Israeli journalist who died recently, and was close to the former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, published, before his death, a book in which he accuses Sharon of planning the assassination of the late Palestinian president, Yasser Arafat.

The book was published in France and the author states that Arafat was poisoned by a direct decision from Sharon who had a phone call with the U.S president George W. Bush in April 2004, and decided to assassinate Arafat after the call.

The story of a Oaxacan movement prisoner

Dionisio had gone to the demonstration in Oaxaca on the 25th of November. After the demonstration he and his friend Juan de Dios went to get something to eat, during which time confrontations started up between demonstrators and the Federal Preventive Police (PFP). Upon leaving the restaurant, they headed toward the downtown area, which had become filled with tear gas and smoke. When they saw a woman and her children overcome by tear gas, Dionisio stopped to help, while Juan de Dios photographed the situation around them, and that was when the two men were arrested.

The UK Ambassador's cheek

Anthony Brenton, the British Ambassador in Moskow, took a part in the extremist conference "The other Russia". During his speech he noted that "forum "The other Russia" was promoting the development of democratic society in Russia", he pleased the facists audience anouncing that the UK government was supporting them by giving 1 million pounds per year in order "to help Russia be richer, stronger and more independent".

More troops to Iraq = more genocide

30-12-2006 12:35 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Climate Chaos | World

The new year is set to see more imperial genocide in Iraq as the US increases troop numbers. 61% of the population of Iraq support attacks on the troops of the imperial occupation - things are simply going to get worse, much worse. The number killed by the imperial occupation already dawarfs those killed, with western support, by Saddam. Downing Street and the White House are occupied by genocidal, psycopath, war criminals.

Neocons and Democrats Tussle over Long or Short “Surge” of Violence in Iraq

Naturally, the Democrats are onboard with more murder and mayhem, never mind the arguments over the duration of Bush’s “surge,” designed to last for the foreseeable future.

Hanging Saddam is inhuman and illegal - Who's next?

Hanging Saddam? George Bush as Texas governor was named 'Texecutionor' as the biggest Serial Killer with 155 victims. Compared to Bush's 655.000 estimated deaths in Iraq, Saddam Hussein is a bad apprentice. But, murder is murder: whoever does it.

The execution of Saddam Hussein

30-12-2006 05:20 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

The Iraqi leader was not, however, tried and sentenced under the auspices of a working class tribunal. He was the subject of a kangaroo court established by an occupation regime after the invasion and conquest of Iraq by the United States. In other words, his crimes were judged and the penalty imposed by those guilty of even greater crimes than his own.

Saddam executed after travesty of justice

30-12-2006 04:07 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | World

With several members of his defence team murdered was their ever any chance that Saddam's trial would be fair? I doubt it. Bush, Blair and the Iran/Contra neoCons know Saddam was the man who could have put them away or sent THEM to the gallows.

B'TSELEM, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, has published its 2006 annual statistics. In a press release, the human rights group, which was established in 1989 to document human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, said this past year has witnessed "a deterioration in the human rights situation in the Occupied Territories, particularly in the increase in civilians killed and the destruction of houses and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip." At the same time, it added, "there was an improvement regarding violations of the right to life of Israeli civilians."

Somalia: US Foreign Policy and Gangsterism + Leaked MI6 emails

29-12-2006 21:39 | Analysis | Globalisation | Repression | World

The failed UN/US intervention of 1993 led directly to the triumph of the warlords, who plundered, raped, and murdered their way through the streets of Mogadishu, the Somalian capital, and reduced the country to Mad Max territory. The same deadly chaos - made in the US - now again foments more hate. Tax paid MI6 'helps'...
