Anglo-American Ambitions behind the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto

30-12-2007 08:16

It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been manuevering to strengthen their political control of Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the “war on terrorism” across the region. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto does not change this agenda. In fact, it simplifies Bush-Cheney’s options.

Women’s rights, sexual and reproductive health and….revolution?

30-12-2007 05:59

Since 1994, the Zapatista's have placed women's rights and participation at the centre of their social and health agenda, including the promotion of sexual and reproductive rights. Today the Zapatistas run a health system autonomous from the Mexican government that includes community educators, trained midwives, community clinics and an autonomous hospital. This transformation is promoting women's sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Traces of the Authoritarian Personality in the Three Abrahamic Religions (subtit

29-12-2007 21:57

We will examine whether terror is institutionalized in the psychology of some religions—particularly focusing on a sense of justice. There are many interesting and provocative ideas discussed. Arguably, this work is as controversial as it is timely. Such an intelligence estimate, if you will, would not have been written had it not related to many important and critical political issues and crises of our day (particularly as related to dominant “cultural clashes” as so framed by various think-tanks). But this work also significantly relates to political theory, history, criminal justice, jurisprudence, as well as social and political psychology etc.

Stop UK Govt And Bechtel £16Bn Crossrail Fraud

29-12-2007 12:39

The UK Government with the help of US war profiteer Bechtel, tax fraudster Adrian Montague and Livingstone will be pushing ahead with Crossrail. A rail scheme designed to help fat city people get around and help put up property prices in Central London namely the City and Canarry Wharf. The snag if there ever is, that they are expecting taxpayers to pay the cost, the overruns, the interest payments and any excess companies that Bechtel and friends can work out with the Mayor. What do residents get?
