Mon 22 Oct talk: Moral and legal foundations for the right to the truth on 9/11

20-10-2007 10:36

In his lectures, Elias will outline the moral and legal foundations for the right to the truth, the obligations of states to thoroughly investigate mass murder, and will illustrate the extent to which US authorities have violated their international obligations to establish the truth about what happened on 11 September 2001.

Elias’ empirical approach, devoid of speculation, provides powerful conceptual tools to those who are committed to defend democracy and the rule of civilised law at both the domestic and international level.

Yet Another Parliament Square Eviction

20-10-2007 01:14

Maria Gallastegui camped atop David Lloyd George's empty plinth for 30+ hours in an attempt to solve the paradox of where to put the tents in Parliament Square. The GLA will not allow them on the grass and the campaigners are being accused of obstruction now that they are on the pavement (where the GLA dumped them). A police operation evicted Maria from the plinth at around 9pm (Oct 19th '07).

Lies About Israel's Attack On Syria Exposed

19-10-2007 19:27

So then ... what was the purpose of this illegal act of aggression?

It appears this was a "back door" attack on Iran, since Syria and Iran have signed defense pacts, and this was intended to lure Iran into war.

Pushing War With Iran

19-10-2007 19:25

It's been interesting to watch the same media that helped sell the LIES about Iraq play the game again in regards to Israel/America's plot against Iran. They've Framed this non-existent 'crisis' in the Neo-Fascists' own rhetoric, again repeating long-refuted LIES with no counter-point or factual examination or rebuttal.

The US media just received its 30 pieces of silver, with the FCC announcement of further deregulation in the area of media conglomeration and mass ownership.

Cindy Sheehan: The ‘Fix’

18-10-2007 18:52

There is quite a lot of interesting, but wild, speculation running around the blog-o-sphere, progressive circles and just plain dinner conversation these days about whether BushCo will allow a peaceful and constitutional transfer of Executive power in the ‘08 elections.

UK Homeland Security & Dads Amy

18-10-2007 14:45

Here in Britain its growth has been less obvious since only the Conservatives have spoken openly of the need for a formal Homeland Security Department to take over from the MoD. What I would like to know is are the foot soldiers of private security companies little more than extras from Dads Amy?

Twelve Former US Army Captains: Reinstate Draft and the dark truth

18-10-2007 13:35

"Such constant rhetoric and legislation concerning conscription, in addition to warmongering with Iran and the continuation of the "war on terror" mantra has led some, including Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration Paul Craig Roberts , to warn that absent any real threat or attack, the Bush administration could stage false flag events and terror attacks in order to reinstate the draft, enhance military presence in the middle east and ultimately attack Iran."
