“Countdown to Zero”: Hollywood movie promotes war on Iran

06-08-2010 09:48

Seductive, fascinating and frightening, Countdown to Zero motivates the public to support complete nuclear disarmament and to fear Iran, which is conveniently the next country the US wants to invade. Framed in no-nuke rhetoric, Countdown to Zero is not-so-subtle agitprop. The film relies on conventional geopolitics to whip up conventional audiences into another conventional state of panic. Islamo-terrorists just can’t acquire this technology! This is painfully similar to what we were told prior to the invasion of Iraq.

We need a new anti-racist movement

29-07-2010 15:37

Racism in the UK has moved on from simple prejudice about skin colour to a system rooted in ideas about Britishness. Today's racists, even those of the extreme right, rarely speak openly about 'race'. Instead they demand that people take on 'British' values and culture or they be punished. These demands are usually focussed on the same targets of the older racism - recent immigrants and those whose way of life is different to what is deemed to be traditional.
