More Vietnam Atrocities

22-11-2003 18:07 | Anti-militarism | World

Nick Turse has done an excellent job in documenting that My Lai and the Tiger Force atrocities were not isolated incidents, but he misses an important point. Disappearances, hideous torture techniques, mutilations, rapes, etc. serve a very logical purpose in US counterinsurgency strategy. In Vietnam it was called the Phoenix Program. It is savage intimidation designed to reduce popular support for guerrilla fighters. In recent terminology, it is shock and awe.

November 17th
Asking the Fairies

There are buildings in Baghdad, old government premises, secret police offices, properties formerly owned by members of the ruling clique and Saddam's family, officers' clubs, military barracks, houses, apartment blocks which are now squatted by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of families made homeless by bombings during the invasion and evictions after.

U.S. Energy Bill Stuffed with Fossil Fuel Industry Subsidies; Warming Continues

Despite not being afforded the benefit of a public hearing, the massive $31.1 billion energy bill being debated in the U.S. Senate today has garnered massive public opposition, and with good reason. Call your senators today. Tell them which way you recommend they vote.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT GUILTY OF HYPOCRISY OVER TOXIC SHIPS - ROYAL NAVAL VESSELS SC

21-11-2003 14:47 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | World

Currently around 600 ships a year are broken world-wide. Around 90% of these go to one of five shipbreaking countries - India, Bangladesh, China, Pakistan and Turkey, where environmental and worker safety standards can be appalling.

Congrats from The USA

Congrats from those of us not so obsessed with the Michael Jackson arrest. We support your valiant efforts! Looking for peace protest artwork? Go to BloodForOil.org, a free anti-war, anti-empire, anti-occupation and peace protest artwork resource center.

It's Still a Jungle Out There: Congo's Slow Move to Recovery

20-11-2003 00:33 | Anti-militarism | World

As aid workers arrive with their food and medical supplies, they are often greeted by rifle-toting rebel militias. Sometimes, the rebels simply observe; sometimes, they liberate the supplies for themselves. Historically, it has been supposed that most of these rebels are not Congolese but rather from neighboring countries, particularly Rwanda and Uganda. Although those neighbors deny any recent involvement, a United Nations report issued this week disagrees.

Thank You England From USA

Thank you from the USA for doing the right thing and protesting
to our president and his entourage over the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
It is amazing here in the U.S. how the great majority don't know or are ill-informed
on the lies the invasion was based on.

Protests in London / Americans turn against Bush: 'We won't die for oil!'

Letter from America - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROTESTS!

I am an American activist who is appalled by our President Bush, and am writing to support your Bush protests from America. I saw Bush on American TV last night. An announcer from the UK said he had never seen this much vehemence towards a U.S. president in the UK EVER. Bush's response was that he was HAPPY to go to a country where protest/free speech was openly embraced and allowed. The hypocrisy here is unbelievable.

Please Help the US Resistence.

Campaign funds to bush/cheney.

The tribes chairman and his son have given campaign contributions to the bush/cheney 2004 election cycle. As someone who is a native American Indian I find this most embarrassing to state that I am a Cowlitz Indian after learning that the Chairman of the tribe used Our official name when he and his son gave $2,000 each plus the wife on the council also gave $2,000.

The Bush administration has cut veteran's benefits and forced wounded American soldiers to pay for hospital meals. They have kept returning sick and wounded soldiers in miserable conditions on US military bases and made them wait months for doctor's appointments. Now, they want to close schools and commissaries on military bases and privatize the remaining commissaries. Oh well, that means more taxpayer money for Halliburton, Bechtel and all the other corporations profiting immensely from the Iraq war.

Billions Missing from U.S.-Controlled Development Fund

A British charity alleges that billions of dollars transferred to a U.S.-controlled account have disappeared. In a report issued Oct. 23 entitled, "Iraq: the missing billions," U.K.-based Christian Aid reveals that the fate of $4 out of $5 billion transferred to the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA)'s Defense Fund for Iraq (DFI) remains unknown.

The First and Last Casualties of War are Civilians

13-11-2003 10:12 | Anti-militarism | London | World

In 1917 a North American senator, Hiram Johnson, wrote, "The first casualty when war comes, is truth." In the light of recent events it would appear that truth was cloaked in secrecy long before official hostilities in Iraq began. The new mantra for the 21st Century should be "the first and last casualties of war are civilians."

Gardiner Report on the British and American manipulation of public opinion

This is the link which leads to the full text of the report by Colonel Sam Gardiner: "Truth from These Podia: Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management,
Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations
in Gulf II" which is the best concise account I have so far seen of the manipulation of public opinion in the democracies of Britain and the United States by the intelligence services and governments. READ AND CIRCULATE THIS WIDELY

Defence of Children International has received previous reports of threatened sexual abuse, usually pronounced during extraction of a confession during interrogation. Threat of such a thing to a child, is a vile act by itself, but now allegedly there has been an actual incident, which took place in Ofer Military Prison just outside of Ramallah.
