Ugly American at Heart of US Pakistan Dysfunctional Relationship

Contemporary world has witnessed new heights of coercive diplomacy. A public statement by President Obama declaring Raymond Davis a diplomat and asking Pakistan for his repatriation was overkill; indeed it was a diplomatic faux pas. American media was forbidden to mention the killer’s connection to CIA; ‘free and fair’ media faithfully obliged the government, until British media spilled the beans.

Gilad Atzmon: Hasbara’s Smear Fell Apart Again

As funny as it may sound, Harry’s Place — the infamous Israeli propaganda website and Neocon outlet that rushed to advocate Blair’s criminal wars — is now desperately insisting on mounting pressure on venues to stop me from spreading the necessary message about Israel and its lobbies.
Harry’s Place — The Zionist mouthpiece website that has managed to collate no less than 157 entries on anti racist watchdog Islamophobia Watch  — blames me for being a racist. It is almost amusing.

Why Gaza Should Be at The Forefront of Egypt’s January 25 Uprising

On February 11, Egyptians managed to force the ouster of President Honi Mubarak, who had run the nation’s affairs — with more than a little help from Washington and Tel Aviv — for more than 30 years. While much still remains to be done to secure the uprising’s achievements, the Egyptian people should – inshallah – be able to look forward to a freer and more prosperous future.

A Retrospective Against GOP Revisionism

One of the founding fathers of conservative thought was Alexander Hamilton. He was an aristocrat who advocated that poor and middle-class Americans should be relegated to second-class citizenship, and the GOP has fully embraced his agenda. While Hamilton’s position was resoundingly rejected by the vast majority of the founding fathers – whose primary reason for coming to America in the first place was to get away from the European class system – there were many of Hamilton’s ilk who chose not to recognize the American ideal that “All men [and women] are created equal.” Then they were later joined by Southern Dixiecrats, or social bigots, who also rejected the ideal of human equality.

Considerations – Libyan Invasion

Broadcast media has noted that Lt. Col. Kaddafi has threatened to use chemical warfare agents against protestors in his unhappy country. Much was made of Libya’s announcement in the early part of the 21st century regarding Libya destroying its stockpile of WMD’s. Well… O.K., maybe, kinda, sorta? Does the Colonel have stocks of weapons grade chemical agents and the delivery systems to employ them?

Impotent Power of Words

There are so many reports and articles on PTSD that you’d think it is a well known issue everyone knows about. Unlike the ads for erectile dysfunction (ED) so well searched for the term pops up with just “erec” typed into Google or Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) medication, we don’t see ads for medications for PTSD. How did these topics end up with multi-million dollar ad campaigns? Was it out of the goodness of their hearts corporations paid to spread the word? No, they have a product to sell so they spread the word about issues a lot of people suffered with silently. RA is painful but did not come with a stigma attached to it. Erectile dysfunction had a huge “shame” factor, so men didn’t talk about it while women complained to their friends about it.

Jim W. Dean…A Crazy Prophet, by Uri Avnery

I was working on my Mid East revolution piece and having the usual revolution problem. You put it down for a few hours to put some other fires out and new information requires a total rewrite. I finally focused in on a theme that I was sure would not be ancient history in week…Western hypocrisy and the original War of Terror we conducted on the Mid East.

Silvia Cattori Interviews Gilad Atzmon

Gilad Atzmon is an outstandingly charming man. He is often described by music critics as one of the finest contemporary jazz saxophonists. But Atzmon is more than just a musician: for those who follow events in the Middle East, he is considered to be one of the most credible voices amongst Israeli opponents. In the last decade he has relentlessly exposed and denounced barbarian Israeli policies. Just before his departure on a European Spring Tour, “The Tide Has Changed “, with his band the Orient House Ensemble, he spoke to Silvia Cattori.

He’s back…and needed.

Olbermann’s initial piece is about the Wisconsin brouhaha, and the place of unions. Like a lot of us, he had a union card or two as he trundled through his career. And, since being in the union saved his job once when a drunken exec decided to fire him because he didn’t like him and thought that Keith’s argument with his direct boss was grounds for firing and some character defamation, he’s invested.

Warfare

“You may fly over a land forever, you may bomb it, atomize it, pulverize it clean of life-but if you desire to defend it, and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman Legions did, by putting your young men in the mud!” (T.R. Fehrenbach. This kind of War, 1963)
