Globalizing police brutality. Everyone wants to be like America these days. At least the world was sent some kind of message even if it had nothing to do with the climate.
Best in show: Hugo Chavez with the now classic quip — "If Climate Were Bank, U.S. Would [...]
Another year, another piece of the conspiracy against mankind. The annual Bilderberg meeting was concluded on June 8th. Taking place at Chantilly, Virginia, USA, it drew the usual suspects of world leaders, war criminals, bankers and aristocracy. Among the most notable attendees were names like Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Paul Wolfowitz, Robert Zoellick, Ben [...]
US political author Norman Finkelstein apparently has been denied entry into Israel, detained, slapped with a 10 year ban, and is now awaiting deportation. Democracy in the middle east? Not so much it turns out.
Finkelstein landed at Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv in the early morning and was told by a representative [...]
Let me see if I got this right. George W Bush, a US president about to be charged with war crimes the second he is out of office, stands before the Israeli parliament lauds (Israeli?)

So here we are with a Holocaust remembrance day out of [...]
Few could have missed the Holocaust conference held this week in Teheran, Iran. Seldom have so many worked so diligently to belittle and malign a public event. An event which featured everyone from anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews to David Duke and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The latter of course being misquoted once again as he predicted [...]
The results are in. Not quite as offensive as one could have hoped or suspected. Nor did the contest elicit much public interest in Iran or anywhere else for that matter.
The US and Israel were of course quick to denounce the idea as “outrageous”, “an anti-Semitic and inhuman event” and added that Iran had “joined [...]

The 2006 Corruption Perceptions Index is a composite index that draws on multiple expert opinion surveys that poll perceptions of public sector corruption in 163 countries around the world, the greatest scope of any CPI to date. It scores countries on a scale from zero to ten, with zero indicating high levels [...]
A Medialens Alert – On the structural determinism of the corporate system, the “liberal herring”, the need for corporate power to defang democracy by means of propaganda or deceit and the longstanding tradition of using military force to create, pacify foreign markets.
The Australian social scientist Alex Carey summed up the evolution of political power in [...]
