Excusing Bahrain’s Human Rights Abuses

Is The Republican Party On A Congressional Kamikazee Mission?
The GOP is now like a college cafeteria food fight-- a free-for-all. Polling released yesterday shows Trump's ratings continuing to plummet and now shows that Paul Ryan is the single most unpopular politician in America-- even more disliked than Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and...

Did Donald Trump have a hand in releasing new 9/11 photos?
I’d like to begin by saying that this is not a ‘9/11 conspiracy piece’, it is a piece questioning Donald Trump’s role, if any, in a recent event to do with 9/11.
The FBI recently released photos of of the Pentagon after the 9/11 attacks. The photos which are far more detailed than previous public evidence from the event, have re-fuelled conspiracy theories which challenge the official 9/11 narrative. -

Labour’s Witch-hunt Against Ken Livingstone
By Jonathan Cook | Dissident Voice | March 31, 2017 The ongoing Ken Livingstone (“Get Corbyn!”) saga grows yet more preposterous. After outrage that the former London mayor had said Hitler was a Zionist (when he clearly hadn’t, as I pointed out at the time here and here), Labour suspended Livingstone amid accusations that he had made anti-semitic, offensive […]

George Galloway: A voice to be reckoned with in British politics
Britain once had a vibrant anti-war movement. It had one as recently as 2003 when the ‘Stop The War Coalition’ was formed to oppose George Bush and Anthony Blair’s war on Iraq. Since then, the anti-war movement in the UK has been demoralised, fragmented and remains deeply contradicted over Syria, with some people who claim to be anti-war, supporting official western policy for regime change, something that now even the Trump administration seems to have given up in respect of Syria.

Preventing Starvation By Filling Backpacks
Any amount of income above these amounts listed below translates to one’s family presumably not being in poverty in the USA.

Disarming ISIS Enemies? US “Arms Control” Sanctions Are Deeply Mistaken
The terrorist organization known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh is hated across the planet. Its crimes have horrified and shocked people in Iraq, Lebanon, France, and the United States. However, no people have suffered more from its atrocities than the people of Syria. The crimes of ISIS in Syria, including torture, beheading, and other monstrous violations of human rights have been massive.

US Rejects Russia"s Invitation to Take Part in Conference on Afghanistan
The US has turned down the Russian invitation for an international conference on Afghanistan. The reasons: the US wasn't consulted before receiving the invitation and doesn't know Russia's objectives for the gathering. Instead, State Secretary Rex Tillerson would bring up the matter when he visits Russia in April. Of course, he could touch upon the subject but it won’t be the same thing as participating in an international forum devoted specifically to the problem...

Sebastian Gorka: Dreams of Fighting Jihad
Counter-terrorism has been a pop field for some decades. As vague as what it purports to counter, it has generated a pundocracy of sorts, guns and mouths for hire across the US imperium and its associate powers. Much of this resembles the various fictions common during the Cold War: the notion that insurgencies could be defeated from the outside; the[Read More...]

The Illusion of Invulnerability: Corruption and Misinformation in the Era of ABM Systems
In recent years, certainly since the mid-nineties, the US has largely neglected to upgrade its atomic arsenal in the aerospace and especially ballistic environments. The same cannot be said of the naval aspect of warfare, especially where it involves submarines. According to independent analysis, the nuclear triad of the US would today require about a trillion dollars to be renewed and modernized, a figure prohibitive even for a nation that is about to exceed 21 trillion dollars of debt...

Brexit And Away!
Painful moves and painful movements have been underway in Brexiting Britain.

The letter has the sense of having cake and munching on it too. There[Read More...]

Stop talking about ever increasing military spending, US!
Media comments by Jan Oberg
The intellectual level of NATO’s policies leaves a lot to be desired. This was illustrated during Secretary of State, Tillerson’s, visit to NATO on March 31, 2017.
Everything stated lacks causal argument, evidence and reference to reality.
I call it absurd theatre and argue that Europe must recognize that it is – has been – under mental and political occupation by the US. -
April Fools’ is now a year long event
In many parts of the world, the First of April is ‘April Fools’ Day’, a day of jokes, innocent white lies, hoaxes and humorous untruths.
Many newspapers and magazines used to participate in April Fools’ Day by publishing humorous, fake articles. For example one might have said,
–‘Moon landing faked in film studio admits cloned chimpanzee’
–‘Dutch Prime Minister resigns over spontaneous wildebeest stampede’
–‘I’m not actually dead, claims Augusto Pinochet’
–‘Russian plot exposed to elect famous billionaire US President as personal Putin puppet’ -

Bangladesh, Social Media And Longings In A Bizarro World

That’s the time when people—especially men, we’re told, but lots of women too though theirs are[Read More...]
