Robert Fisk remembers the war mongers who longed for Muslim blood post 9/11
And the veteran Middle East journalist utters one of the key reasons the terrorist attacks happened; Israeli occupation of Palestine: By their books, ye shall know them. I’m talking about the volumes, the libraries – nay, the very halls of literature – which the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 have spawned. Many…
Here’s why America will continue to be so hated and the CIA can be thanked
Killing countless people around the world doesn’t exactly bring love (or respect or even fear anymore), so a fascinating but disturbing piece in the Washington Post that inadvertently documents the decline of an empire: Behind a nondescript door at CIA headquarters, the agency has assembled a new counterterrorism unit whose job is to find al-Qaeda…
This is what Israel loves doing (building illegal colonies)
One more nail in the coffin of the Jewish state: With the end of the building freeze, construction has started up in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) communities. In fact, said the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), building jumped 660% in Judea and Samaria during the first half of 2011, as compared to… the previous… year. While the…
Who really benefits from the bogus “war on terror” (and it isn’t us)?
With the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 just around the corner, except an orgy of self-delusion over the disastrous decade just over. So many wars and deaths and is the West safer? No chance. But a select few corporations have done very well, thanks very much. Disaster capitalism on steroids.… The Guardian reports: The scale…
The gospel according to Tony Abbott (future Australian leader?)
The Liberal Opposition leader Tony Abbott is interviewed in today’s Murdoch Australian by Greg Sheridan, a man who never saw a war he didn’t love to watch (from a distance). The message? Abbott loves America, Israel, the West, the “war on terror” and anything Washington asks. That’s not a foreign policy; its sycophancy: I ask…
While the Wikileaks revelations continue, questions to be asked
One: The US and Australia schemed unsuccessfully in 2005 to block Mohamed ElBaradei’s election to a third term as head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a newly leaked US diplomatic cable shows. Both countries were unhappy with Mr ElBaradei’s “unhelpful” response to Iran’s nuclear program, but the bid to prevent his re-election to…
Wikileaks claims Tamils want justice but autocratic state making that impossible
As Sri Lanka continues to face justified international pressure over war crimes against Tamils committed during the country’s civil war, a recently released Wikileaks cable alleges the Tamil population inside the country fears even raising accountability issues. That’s quite some democracy: In a comment dated 15.01.2010, US ambassador Patricia Butenis noted the Tamils in Sri…
Of course Muslim hatred would help fund Zionist extremism
Sigh: A colouring book about the events of 9/11, complete with pictures of the burning twin towers and the execution of a cowering Osama bin Laden for children to fill in, has provoked outrage among American Muslims. We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids’ Book of Freedom has just been released by the Missouri-based publisher…
