The Fourth Estate

06-04-2010 18:55 | Other Press | World

Freedom of the press is a constitutional right Americans hold dear. For many it is perceived as a liberty every person should have the freedom to express and is a facet and symbol of our culture itself. Often referred to as the fourth branch of government or the fourth estate most people believe journalists rights to go on the record with what they know to be protected by law. Most Americans simply take for granted journalists are sources of independent information and believe they express the first amendment when many of us feel we can't.

Climategate' Investigation Clears UK Scientists Of Most Serious Claims

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/31/climategate-investigation_n_519644.html
"The House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee said that they'd seen no evidence to support charges that the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit or its director, Phil Jones, had tampered with data or perverted the peer review to exaggerate the threat of global warming – two of the most serious criticisms levied against the climatologist and his colleagues."

Miliband is lying about Iran's nuclear program

28-03-2010 19:33 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Other Press | World

UK Foreign Minister David Milliband has an op-ed in the International Herald Tribune calling for sanctions on Iran that hits all the usual talking points: that Iran is going nuclear, that a nuclear-armed Iran would cause proliferation in the region, that Israel sees Iran as an existential threat would "act in self-defense" against Iran, and that Iran has failed to "come clean" on its nuclear progam. All of these points are of course entirely false.

NATO Chief: Weapons of Mass Destruction threat is real and growing

28-03-2010 14:37 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

“The threat of Iraq’s Weapons of Mass Destruction” was the key argument of the relentless Anglo-American propaganda campaign in the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Seven years later, the head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) points the finger at the next target by declaring that the threat of proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction “has remained largely abstract” until now, but it is “real and growing”.

PRESS RELEASE

Pornography of Suffering

26-03-2010 17:46 | Anti-racism | Culture | Other Press | World

The American mentality seems hopelessly rooted in the gutter, keenly attuned to tales of rape and bestiality but supremely indifferent to the elementary facts of life and history. The current genocide in Congo is as little known as that country’s previous holocaust, at the hands of the Belgians, more than a century ago.

When Facts and Propaganda Collide - The BBC and Israel

When a Thai kibbutz worker was killed in Israel by a rocket launched from Gaza last week, BBC News online gave the incident headline coverage flagged up on its home page. (BBC news online, ‘Rocket fire from Gaza kills man in southern Israel’, 23:42 GMT, Thursday, 18 March 2010)

By contrast, the killing of two Palestinian teenagers, Mohammad Qadus and Osaid Qadus, by Israeli soldiers on Saturday was buried at the end of a short news report on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon's Middle East visit. Even worse, the BBC’s footnote simply echoed Israeli propaganda that “no live bullets were fired, only tear gas and rubber bullets”, despite ample evidence to the contrary. (BBC news online, ‘UN chief says Gaza suffering under Israeli blockade’, 11:26 GMT, Sunday, 21 March 2010)

Israeli army chief visits Turkey to hold talks on Iran’s nuclear program

19-03-2010 14:24 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

Already during the Clinton Administration of 1993-2001, a triangular military alliance between the US, Israel and Turkey had unfolded. This ‘triple alliance’ is coupled with a strong bilateral military relationship between Tel Aviv and Ankara.

Amply documented, Israel and Turkey are partners in the planned US aerial attacks on Iran, which have been in an advanced state of readiness since mid-2005.

Néjàd vu, all over again: The media, 'pretext', context & 9/11

17-03-2010 16:02 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

The mainstream media's favorite scapegoat, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, resurfaced on Saturday amidst reports that he called the attacks of September 11, 2001 "a big lie."

According to the immediate and rabid response of virtually every Western news network around, this was simply the latest insane claim of the same raving madman who has previously threatened to wipe a foreign state off the map and denied the Holocaust.

Clinton: US can't prevent Israel attacking Lebanon if Hizbullah continues arming

02-03-2010 22:55 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Other Press | World

During the Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006, the then US Foreign Minister Condoleezza Rice wrongly predicted the outcome by announcing "the birth pangs of a new Middle East"

Four years later, her successor Hillary Clinton's threats against Lebanon indicate that the next step of the "New Middle East" project will involve a war on multiple fronts: Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
