Hands Off Iraqi Oil - London demo

23-02-2008 23:23

Pics from the corporate pirates' tour of the capital on the 'Hands Off Iraqi Oil' International Day of Action, Saturday 23 February 2008. They were protesting against the multinational oil companies' ongoing attempts to profit from the occupation and death of an estimated million people in Iraq by plundering the country's oil resources; a move strongly opposed by the Iraqi oil workers' unions and general populace.

Iraq : Are there any Tears Left?

22-02-2008 16:39

In the Inquisition-scale horrors, inflicted upon Iraq, since a month short of five years ago, the ghosts of the Western-imposed human cull over the previous thirteen years - from life's dawn, to those in its twilight - sometimes, very temporarily, briefly flicker and fade slightly, in the light of another immediate atrocity of enormity. They always return, as they must, in a sight, a scent, a phrase, a 'phone call. Reminders of sins of overwhelming enormity in high places, as Washington and Whitehall bleat about their infantile 'war on terror' and 'rogue states'.

Our Demon Enemy Lying Leader Mr. Bush speaking recently, “You and I believe in accountability”, “People should be responsible for their actions”, “My number one priority is to protect you” “All human life is precious and deserves to be protected.” Just words from the demon in HIS nation that drops 47,500 lbs. of bombs to indiscriminately murder Iraqis while paying [whoknowswhere] salaries to 80,000 al-qaeda

Opening a Pandora's Box: Kosovo "Independence" and the Project for a "New Middle

Caucasus breakaway regions
Western public opinion has been misled. Unfolding events and realities on the ground in the former Yugoslavia have been carefully manipulated.

Germany and the U.S. have deep-seated geo-strategic interests in dividing Yugoslavia. Washington, D.C. and Berlin have also been the first governments to recognize the secessionist states, which resulted from the breakup of the Yugoslav federation.

Concentration camps in America: The consequences of 40 years of fear

18-02-2008 12:23

The incursions on civil liberties in the United States in the past 25 years, and particularly since 9-11, are mind-boggling. It matters not whether you are a Democrat or Republican, rich or poor, conservative or liberal, you have been deprived of substantial freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, unnecessarily, in the War on Terrorism. Fear the loss, perceive the danger, and do something about it!

The calendar may say 2008, but, increasingly, we’re living in 1984. America may not have concentration camps yet, but we’re sure enough working on ‘em.

The 2008 Elections and The Peace Movement

15-02-2008 06:39

In America even if the Democrats win, the progressive peace movement needs to continue to “bear witness” to the crimes that our government, the CIA, and the Pentagonians are committing in foreign lands against people that have never harmed or attacked America.

Another Killing Spree in Mesopotamia: “Pacifying” Mosul

13-02-2008 20:56

In words and deeds, happenings in Iraq are chillingly redolent of Nazi Germany. Neighborhoods walled in and “cleansed” of Sunnis, others of Shias, Christians and Iraq's richness of minorities ... people who have lived together and inter-married since time immemorial. The distinctions were imposed with the incoming tanks and troops - divide and rule writ large. In Falluja, Goebbel's ghost walks tall. The residents even have their own identifying arm patch to prove it. And it has certainly been cleansed, in uncountable thousands - exactly how many unknown, since in the words of General Tommy Franks it is not “productive” to count Iraqi deaths.
