In his much-ballyhooed acceptance speech, Barack Obama declared that he
would "finish the fight against the terrorists who actually attacked us on
9/11". If Obama wishes to be true to his promise, he could begin with his
own running mate, Senator Joe Biden.

US Election Campaign: National Security and Permanent Wars. Vying to Be Toughest

09-09-2008 13:47 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Repression | World

Ignoring public sentiment, both party nominees stress "national security" and face off on who's toughest on "terrorism." For 2009, expect more of the same. A continued right wing agenda. Bigger budgets for militarism. Police state repression for enforcement. Little attention to public needs. No end to wars and occupation. Possible new ones against Iran, Pakistan, elsewhere in Eurasia, and a resurgent confrontation with Russia.

Support Danish WMD Whistleblower Frank Grevil

09-09-2008 10:05 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Repression | World

Frank Søholm Grevil (born in 1960) had the rank of major in Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste [FE] (Danish military intelligence agency). On February 22, 2004 he acted as a whistle blower leaking classified information about the FE's assessment of the possibility of weapons of mass destruction [WMD] in Iraq. These documents proved that Danish prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen lied to the Danish parliament when he claimed that there was evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Frank Grevil was sentenced to four months in jail for leaking these documents.

Italy to increase Troop numbers on the street.

05-09-2008 11:50 | Anti-militarism | Migration | Repression | World

We all know that the Italian state put 3,000 troops including paratroopers on the streets of Milan, Rome and Naples earlier this year. We were unanimous in our condemnation. Pat yourself on the back. But now we get to see what they did. Figures available today confirm that the Italian army has participated in 97 arrests of which 66 people were migrants. Just in case you're bad at soft maths - that indicates that two thirds of military arrests of civilians have been migrants & the arrest rate is about one to every thirty soldiers. In addition to those fascination factoids there have been 263 reports made and 242 car thefts dealt with.

Obviously Italy needs more troops on the street. & minister of the interior Roberto Maroni has confirmed on his webpage and in an interview that Italy is going to get a surge.
