Globalization And Democracy: Some Basics

27-05-2007 07:13 | Analysis | Globalisation | World

The goal of the transnational corporation is to become truly transnational, poised above the sovereign power of any particular nation, while being served by the sovereign powers of all nations. Cyril Siewert, chief financial officer of Colgate Palmolive Company, could have been speaking for all transnationals when he remarked, “The United States doesn’t have an automatic call on our [corporation’s] resources. There is no mindset that puts this country first.”[i]

Iraq war funding bill fiasco masks collusion between Bush and Democrats

27-05-2007 06:55 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Iraq | World

On May 22, 2007, Washington’s Democrats obediently capitulated to the Bush administration, handing Bush a war spending bill completely stripped of conditions that would, in any way, slow the administration’s relentless Middle East conflagration. In fact, the new bill is an even more egregious blank check for a massive “surge” of Bush administration violence throughout the region, opening the door for a war with Iran. New Iraq “benchmarks” pushed by the Democrats themselves will result in new atrocities and more bloodshed, funded by the Democrats themselves.

Manifesto 2007: Tearing Down the Seven Pillars of Neoliberalism

26-05-2007 14:55 | Globalisation | World

In June 2007, the governments of the seven most important industrial countries and Russia will meet at a G8 summit in Heiligendamm. Neoliberal globalization and deregulation orient economic policy in the profit interests of international financiers and corporations. The G8 is an institution without legitimation.

C4 Jon Snow calls for revenge attacks on Russia - what's his agenda?

26-05-2007 13:58 | World

This week, Channel 4 news presenter Jon Snow took a personal interest in asking if the UK would launch a revenge attack for the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko. Snow has developed a new found concern for the people of Chechnya following the death of Litvinenko. So much so, he now thinks the President of Russia Vladimir Putin is a bad man because he has access to gas and other reserves and is not playing ball with corrupt western power brokers. So what is Snow's agenda?

CASMII Strongly Criticises the Guardian for Anti-Iranian Article

26-05-2007 09:17 | Anti-militarism | Other Press | Terror War | World

The Guardian was today strongly criticised by CASMII for republishing unsubstantiated Bush Administration propaganda on its May 22 edition.

It is feared that the front page article which lacked basic journalistic professionalism, will be used to provide justification for an escalation of the US military surge in Iraq and possible military action against Iran.

Bush pre-empts Al-Sadr’s Return

26-05-2007 05:14 | Globalisation | Other Press | Terror War | World

Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr re-appears just two days after Bush’s statement to the American media that next month (we assume June) will be a critical period in the ongoing travesty that is the Iraq occupation. Bush may have finally received some accurate information regarding al-Sadr’s plans to unite with Sunni leaders and hopefully form a unified and powerful front against invading and occupying forces.

The March to War: Syria Preparing for US-Israeli Attacks

25-05-2007 21:44 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

It is no mere coincidence that fighting has broken out in Lebanon between Fatah Al-Islam, a previously unheard of radical militant group, and the Lebanese Armed Forces, days after David Welch, the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs at the U.S. State Department, held unprecedented meetings with General Michel Sulaiman (Solomon) the Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces. Although Saudi Arabian, Jordanian, and American channels created Fatah Al-Islam, Syria is conveniently being blamed as the perpetrator in a calculated move to strengthen the manufactured war dossier against Damascus.
