The American Empire and 9/11

"After the attacks of 9/11, I accepted the blowback thesis, according to which the attacks were revenge for U.S. foreign policy. This view led me to undertake an extensive study of the American empire, the very reality of which had been an embattled issue."

One day you’re gonna wake up, America.

Millions of workers and students on strike: report of the first 12 hours of the May 2 strike

Just six months after Calderon assumed the presidency and the anti-fraud movement and the APPO were defeated, the situation in Mexico is heating up again. The previous showdown over the elections and the revolutionary struggle in Oaxaca solved nothing. The bourgeois, foolishly, perhaps believed that the working class was finished, and that the struggle was over. They will not be able to maintain that opinion any longer.

Carrying on from the magnificent struggles in March against the attacks of the weak Calderón government, a general strike was called earlier this week on May 2 - the first general strike in Mexico since 1916.

We publish here a brief report on the May 2 strike, as well as a longer article analysing the situation just before the strike. Further reports will be published in the coming days.

Islam Punk Novel Censored!

03-05-2007 19:52 | Culture | Manchester | World

The Taqwacore movement (badly and shortly described a Muslim punk) has been getting some attention lately (across the web anyway) thanks to a profile of the culture in the The Guardian. What is less known is that the seminal novel of the movement – The Taqwacores– has been censored in its UK version due to fears brought on by the Muhammed cartoon controversy.

Ministry of Defence Admits Photograph Falsely Identified Location of UK/Iranian Maritime Incident

Its been a few weeks now since the end of the maritime border incident, which involved the arrest of 15 British military personnel by Iran, a diplomatic crisis and their subsequent release. In April, we posted [

http://craigmurrayfriends.blogspot.com/2007/04/british-mod-issued-two-different.html ] on the puzzling observation that the UK Ministry of Defence had provided two different sets of position coordinates to fix the site of the incident, and thereby prove that it occurred in Iraqi waters.

Anti-Capitalism in Five Minutes or Less

We know that capitalism is not just the most sensible way to organize an economy but is now the only possible way to organize an economy. We know that dissenters to this conventional wisdom can, and should, be ignored. There’s no longer even any need to persecute such heretics; they are obviously irrelevant.
