The War on Consciousness

12-06-2007 23:57

We are truly in a war. It is not the war we imagine we are in, which is the way our true adversaries want it. It is not a foreign war against a foreign enemy. It is a war on consciousness, a war on our own minds. The global war on terror that is being fought around the world is an embodied reflection in the material world of a deeper, more fundamental war that is going on in the realm of consciousness itself.

12-06-2007 17:17

“Israel Slides towards the Disastrous One State Trap,” The Baltimore Sun’s editorial concluded on June 5.

Why your revolution is no liberation!

12-06-2007 16:33

Fight Antisemitism!
During the recent weeks and months a spirited debate developed in different German left wing newspapers and groups about the sense or non-sense, the perspectives and the means and goals of the mobilisation against the G8 summit.
