The Nuclear Information Service is calling for governmental accountability on questions of illegality and due process in the replacement and maintenance of the UK’s nuclear weapon system proposed in the Government’s White Paper, ‘The Future of the United Kingdom’s Nuclear Deterrent’, published on 4 December 2006.

U.S. intelligence chief in Israel to discuss Iran

05-06-2008 19:05 | Anti-militarism | World

Just something to keep in mind in the weeks ahead when the Propaganda effort created by this meeting, the AIPAC conference, and Olmert's visit to DC, really gets underway.

Apparently for Israel, any US intelligence report telling the truth is a "blow" when it comes to Iran.

However, the timing couldn't be more interesting, what with Olmert in Washington, pleading for a military strike, and McConnell in Jerusalem getting a "cooked consensus" from Israeli intelligence folks who are foaming at the mouth with their eagerness to get the US to strike Iran militarily.

Italy’s leap into the dark: Smells, signals and symptoms of fascism

05-06-2008 06:33 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Repression | World

Corporatism implies the merging of state and business leadership, together with belligerent nationalism and militarism, in effect a dictatorship of the extreme right. In practice corporatism and fascism are one and the same. As in Cold War years, so in the Berlusconi era, the fear of leftist communists and the desire of many Italians to be a normal nation has led to today’s unconscious toleration of the rise of a nascent form of authoritarian government with many characteristics of fascism.

"Hate Iran Week" at AIPAC

04-06-2008 16:02 | Anti-militarism | World

Sadly, these fanatics don't care if something is true (or has been proven false). All they care is that they are allowed to repeat these LIES in order to create the illusion of a crisis, because it distracts from their actual plot to attack the country, in the process, once again committing "The Supreme International Crime".

It's interesting to watch these criminals as they keep doing, over and over and over, exactly what they call their opposition "antisemitic" for pointing out ...

Agreement Lets US Attack any Country from Inside Iraq

04-06-2008 15:58 | Anti-militarism | World

This story is funny, since this has been the plan all along, and was one of the real reasons behind this illegal war. This seems to be a way of hiding these facts, since the developments on the ground makes this hard to hide under the rug.

'Hate Iran Week' continues with Rice urging Europeans to jump on the bandwagon

04-06-2008 14:22 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Terror War | World

Time is running out for the US and Israel as the US presidential elections roll ever closer. They are becoming desperate to gain public support for an attack on Iran and the ‘Hate Iran Week’ AIPAC conference is their last big chance of swinging the American people behind them to support an attack.

McClellan's Warning on Iran

02-06-2008 18:32 | Anti-militarism | World

It's time to DEMAND that our 'elected leaders' take action against these criminals, and if they won't, to hold them accountable for their own crimes in collaborating in these War Crimes.

Binyam, if "convicted" in this "kangaroo court", faces the DEATH PENALTY.

Iran: Former German official says War Imminent

31-05-2008 20:45 | Anti-militarism | World

The real choice is clear.

It's devastation through an illegal and unnecessary war, or confronting the Extremists in the Knesset, and avoiding this Madness ...

The fact that this man repeats many of the lies peddled by the 'neo-cons', I'm suspicious of his conclusion.

Note that the one choice he doesn't mention is removing these War Criminals from power and tossing them in jail before they get the chance to compound their crimes.
