22-12-2007 18:54 | Repression | Terror War | Workers' Movements | World

Today a range of Iranian leftist groups and individuals came in Central London to hold a demo to express their solidarity with the struggles of Iranian students and workers against the Islamic regime and against the distorted coverage of Iran by the Western Media, in particular the BBC.

Latest US Tactic Against Iran Smacks of Desperation

22-12-2007 17:43 | Anti-racism | World

After the NIE report, the UN isn't going to consider any further sanctions, which China and Russia would simply veto anyway. (And which the US and Israel are only using to leverage a 'legal' justification for a war they view as inevitable, whose planning precedes both Ahmadinejad and the nuclear power program.)

Russia has begun shipping fuel to the reactor site, and even if it's just the rods which are hit at this point, the resulting fire from a military attack hitting the rods and graphite would cause a regional catastrophe.

Russia has already stated that an attack on Iran will be perceived as an attack on Iran.

The word "checkmate" comes to mind, but one can never entirely dismiss the potential for sheer craziness and hubris coming from DC and Tel Aviv.

'Israel will attack Iran on its own'

22-12-2007 14:56 | Anti-militarism | World

But of course, 'defence' pacts between the US and Israel say that the US will side with Israel, even if its Extremists start the war.

This appears to be a way for the US to start another illegal war of aggression without actively doing it.

Physicians for Human Rights Gaza Update - Another Seasonal Shame

Keep in mind that these measures violate International Law as well as Israel's own laws. IMC attacks, like the ones that have been occuring worldwide, haven't been this consistent since Israel attacked Jenin. This signals that the Government is frightened of this information getting out, because it knows full well that what it's engaged in is illegal and immoral, but it just doesn't care.

It will continue in its war to wipe Palestine off the map until it is made to stop.

Oprah & Obama: Corporate Marketing for a Corporate Campaign

22-12-2007 10:07 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

Two of the best marketers in the U.S. teamed up for a three-state weekend extravaganza of vapid, substance-devoid entertainment posing as presidential politics. Oprah Winfrey – a certified genius of self-salesmanship – and the faux progressive, fraudulent anti-war candidate Barack Obama wowed crowds in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire in a mega-media celebration of celebrity, itself. Political theater has devolved to theater without politics. Corporate “journalists” behave like sports “color” commentators, minus real stats and facts. Next stop: Broadway – if the world doesn’t explode before curtain-time.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Neocon in Black Face

21-12-2007 08:31 | Anti-racism | Gender | Terror War | World

The young, attractive Somali woman has become a darling of the American corporate media. Ayaan Hirsi Ali started out as a heroine to a portion of the Dutch public, who rewarded her with a parliamentary seat for denouncing all things Muslim. Apparently, flagellating one's own non-white, non-Christian people is a sure route to success in Europe, just like in the U.S. Ms. Ali lost her halo in The Netherlands when it was discovered she had lied on her immigration papers, but was soon recruited into the self-hating Black grouplet at the right-wing American Enterprise Institute, where she pretends to be a "scholar." America - what a country! Denounce your own people, and they'll make you a star.

Liberalism To Murdochracy

20-12-2007 22:31 | Culture | Globalisation | Other Press | World

The former Murdoch retainer Andrew Neil has described James Murdoch, the heir apparent, as a "social liberal". What strikes me is his casual use of "liberal" for the new ruler of an empire devoted to the promotion of war, conquest and human division.
