Capitalism and Corruption

11-02-2007 13:53 | Globalisation | World

Until recently, the bribes paid by German firms abroad were deducted from the corporation tax as operating expenses.. The neoliberal dogma doesn't need any religion any more since it makes capitalism itself into a religion.. The cult of abstract riches cannot replace morality.. In structural over-accumulation, surplus capital presses on the finance markets. Mergers and takeovers become central.

Australian PM criticises Barak Obama

11-02-2007 05:51 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Other Press | World

John Howard, known internationally as a Bush lackey, shameless coward, racist and abandoner of Australian citizens in trouble, today levelled a criticism at U.S. Presidential candidate, Barak Obama. The ‘aluminium tubing’ Prime Minister stated that Obama’s Iraq policy would “completely destabilise and destroy Iraq”. Howard seems ‘completely’ oblivious to the FACT that his participation in the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq has ALREADY COMPLETELY DESTABILISED AND DESTROYED Iraq!

Iran Attack: Once Again, the New York Times Serves as Propaganda Tool

11-02-2007 00:29 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Recall, back in May of 2004, a superficially contrite New York Times editorial staff admitting it published “questionable” information about claims of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, information that ultimately paved the way for the slaughter of 650,000 Iraqis.

Catastrophic Climate Change may be Inevitible unless Drastic Steps are Taken

10-02-2007 15:03 | Climate Chaos | World

A report by Friends of the Earth Australia warns that catastrophic climate change may be inevitable unless dramatic steps are taken to reduce emissions. While the scientific community have finally consensed that human induced climate change is an unequivical reality with the release of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scientific report on 2 February 2007, the survey of recent scientific research by FOE(Australia) indicates the IPCC climate change models may be very conservative and underestimate feedback effects of climate change.

US Holocaust Commission and Holocaust denial

10-02-2007 14:52 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | History | World

The US recently successfully put a Resolution to UN General Assembly RIGHTLY condemning Holocaust Denial. However the Resolution ignored huge non-Jewish Holocausts e.g. the US-driven Iraqi Holocaust and thus was Holocaust Ignoring, something even WORSE than Holocaust Denial because it is Passive Holocaust Denial that admits of no refutation – who does one refute something that has not even been asserted?

What’s the Death Toll, Mr. Bush?

10-02-2007 14:07 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

The ever increasing, unmentionable death toll of U.S. military expansionism in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and elsewhere exceeds one million souls. The human casualties have achieved unification and consensus at last! The slogan of death is unutterable, perfectly silent and devastatingly effective! Devoid of tribe, nation, race, religion and every other divisive factor that contributed to their demise, all humans are united in death – they are finished! In death there are no ideologies, 'critical issues' or causes.

A Warning to Africa: The New U.S. Imperial Grand Strategy

10-02-2007 10:19 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | World

Imperialism is constant for capitalism. But it passes through various phases as the system evolves. At present the world is experiencing a new age of imperialism marked by a U.S. grand strategy of global domination. One indication of how things have changed is that the U.S. military is now truly global in its operations with permanent bases on every continent, including Africa, where a new scramble for control is taking place focused on oil.

Iraq and Darfur: the politics of war crimes

09-02-2007 20:03 | Analysis | Iraq | Terror War | World

The international response to two cases of mass killing—the civil war in the Darfur region of Sudan and the US-led occupation of Iraq—demonstrate the sheer hypocrisy of the claims by the major capitalist powers and the United Nations to defend human rights and uphold international law.

Dutch government to compensate for rain forest destruction

09-02-2007 19:51 | Ecology | World

The Netherlands government has recognised that it was wrong to subsidise as “green energy” palm oil produced at the cost of rain forests, reports a German rain forest advocacy group. “It has recognised that often palm oil production often involves catastrophic destruction of rain forest and promised to learn from this,” writes Rettet den Regenwald e. V.

Chinese Smile vs American Gun

09-02-2007 17:19 | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Other Press | World

China's President Hu Jintao re-establishes trade links with Africa vowing not to interfere with the sovereign rights of African nations. The net result of this soft approach is African nations clamouring to the Chinese whose trade links with Africa extend thousands of years into the past. Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of large African port cities containing artefacts and trade material from China and Africa. Large amounts of ceramics, ivory, gems, precious metals and a wealth of other artefacts reveal a long history of lively and thriving two-way trade between the two continents.

Under the Spell of the Hegemon

09-02-2007 12:56 | Anti-militarism | World

Empire-building is a blindness, delusion and false security. Since all people yearn for freedom and self-determination, imperial humbris is based on rewriting human nature and history, stylizing arrogance as a natural law and trashing international law and democratic empowerment. The empire sees the speck in her sister's eye but not the log in her own eye.
