Palestinian Pinochet Making His Move?

17-05-2007 19:11 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Repression | World

Whatever the precise breakdown within the Bush Administration, it’s plain that Dahlan, like Pinochet a quarter century, would not move onto a path of confrontation with an elected government unless he believed he had the sanction of powerful forces abroad to do so. If does move to turn the current street battle into a frontal assault on the unity government, chances are it will be because he got a green light from somewhere — and certainly not from Mahmoud Abbas.

Two imprisoned for violating Official Secrets Act

17-05-2007 10:51 | Iraq | Repression | Terror War | World

Punished for exposing Bush and Blair’s crimes in Iraq

The imprisonment of David Keogh and Leo O’Connor under the Official Secrets Act is a flagrant violation of democratic rights. In part aimed at intimidating opponents of the occupation of Iraq, it is bound up with efforts to conceal the contents of a discussion between George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair on actions illegal under international law.

AUSTRALIA: Convicted attention seeker to be released from Perth Prison

17-05-2007 00:46 | Analysis | Repression | Terror War | World

He was one of a number Muslims whose homes were raided by ASIO in a nationwide security crackdown that followed the September 11 US false flag operation perpetrated by the G W Bush administration. Apparently Roach was highly trained to contact ASIO about the Israeli Embassy plot so they arrested him. Why not he was giving himself up right?

David Hicks very lucky to be tortured, isolated for 5.5 years for nothing?

15-05-2007 22:45 | Repression | Social Struggles | Terror War | World

John Howard must repudiate the deal as it was illegal - done under duress and with an illegally constituted tribunal which didn’t conform to Australian standards of justice. Any confession is obviously worthless. That on the same basis that having David Hicks meant they could do whatever they wanted to him – and did, now that Australia has him we will treat me with the dignity and respect for legal institutions that we should always do.

US government fans homeland terrorism fear

15-05-2007 20:41 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Terror War | World

The US government and Washington elites are aggressively ramping up their "war on terrorism" rhetoric and propaganda, stoking fear and paranoia in order to bolster its war agenda, and reinvigorate the mass public perception of new and growing "homegrown terrorism" threats to the US homeland.

The next phase of America’s war abroad (under the management of a post-Bush neocon/neoliberal consensus), and the deepening militarization of the US homeland towards a full police state, are well underway.

Remember that leaked memo saying that there was a plan to allow War Criminal Bliar to step down honourably, as opposed to being fired and brought to stand trial? This is the fruit of those plots.

Let's throw them a curveball.

This is, after all, a War Criminal, who lied the nation into a war!!
