Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had the pleasure of acquainting myself with a segment of the vast Syrian community who oppose the ongoing covert interventions in Syria and who generally think their current government is doing a good job, all things considered.
Iranian Elections Anathema to Those Who Seek to Control the Middle East.
Press TV has interviewed Joshua Blakeney, on his view on the recent hike in fuel prices.
Obama claims “a world once divided [on Iran]. . .now stands as one” and that Iran is “isolated”. Is it Iran or the US & Israel who are “isolated”?
Canadian Professor Denis Rancourt Eliminated for Allowing Palestinian Activists to Speak to His Students
In a week when a pro-Israel media venue, the Atlanta Jewish Times, contemplated the pros and cons of a Mossad assassination of the U.S. president, Barack Obama, the Obama election campaign has chosen to reiterate the forty-fourth president’s unambiguous allegiance to Israel in the form of a toe-curling video.
Press TV talks with Joshua Blakeney, Staff writer for Veterans Today in Calgary about who is behind the killing of Ahmadi-Roshan and considers the circumstantial evidence currently at hand.
I appeared on this week’s edition of the Press TV show Remember Palestine. I used the platform that Press TV graciously provided me with to argue that those of us who want to bring an end to the Israel-Palestine conflict ought to capitalize on the evidence of Israeli involvement in 9/11 rather than neglect the subject because it is deemed by some to be “controversial”.
Press TV has interviewed Joshua Blakeney of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Veterans Today from Calgary, Alberta to discuss the situation. What follows is a rough transcription of the interview:
Viminitz presupposes the veracity of the wholly debunked Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) of 9/11. I suspect not until I challenged him, during the period when I was his student, had he even considered that the OCT could be false.
Bush Back in Canada this week to attend an economic summit in Surrey, British Columbia. Under Canadian law Bush ought to have been refused entry into Canada…
Canada has some very progressive Human Rights laws which if enforced would prevent Canada from becoming a safe haven for war criminals.
I spent September 8th to 12th in Toronto, Ontario, Canada attending The International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001.
Football teams in England provide the ruling class with useful vehicles to divide and rule the working class.
The Toronto Hearings to coincide with 9/11/11 promise to create an important record of what is known, what is not known, and what remains in the realm of speculation about what did or did happen ten years ago.
Kay is the Comments Pages Editor of one of Canada’s most influential national broadsheet newspapers The National Post and is a fellow at the neoconservative think-tank the ‘Foundation For the Defense of Democracies’ which has been characterized by journalist Jeffrey Blankfort as “[o]ne of the most influential and powerful of the Zionist lobbies which changed its name and sprung into action immediately after 9/11.
The record so far of the Barack Obama presidency demonstrates that the political culture, like the political economy of the United States, is in deep trouble.
Jonathan Kay’s “Among the Truthers” was written to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the contested events of 9/11. Its contents illustrate the strategic geopolitical importance of the public’s changing perception of September 11, 2001.
These You Tubes embody and express different aspects of the collaboration between Professor Anthony J. Hall and Joshua Blakeney in the Globalization Studies unit at the University of Lethbridge in the southern portion of the Canadian province of Alberta.
On Monday May 2nd 2011, a coalition of activists and civil resisters, myself included, marched on Surrey City Hall in an attempt school Mayor Dianne Watts on the voluminous domestic and supranational legislation which exists pertaining to credibly accused war criminals and other violators of human rights.
3/11/11 Meets the Events of September 11, 2001 by Anthony J. Hall, Professor of Globalization Studies at the University of Lethbridge Two Ground Zeroes There are now two ground zeroes marking the most prominent features of the twenty-first century’s geopolitical landscape. The first ground zero is, of course, the site of the three pulverized World [...]
The Fukushima nuclear disaster shows every sign of becoming the most serious industrial accident in history. Thus the failure to properly internationalize the response to this catastrophe is mind boggling. One month after 3/11 a corrupt little company in Japan, TEPCO, is still being left in charge of dealing with an emergency that is quite literally poisoning the planet on a scale that we may not have ever seen before.
From Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to the witches brew of melting, spewing and exploding nuclear matter at Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Number One, the history of humanity’s first decades of encounter with energy’s atomic sources is unfolding as a poetic saga of hubris and tragedy.
Thank you both for your responses. Here’s my two-penneth; I agree that attempting to discuss politics based on ethnic or religious [israel-and-the-clash-of-civilisations] distinctions is usually misguided (although the various groups which constitute the ‘Israel Lobby’ are almost totally motivated by ethnic and religious based ideologies and imperatives). But it gets more tricky when it comes to analyzing the interface between states. I think we do need to recognize that the U.S. and Israel are two different, autonomous, sovereign states whose interests often differ markedly in the Middle East. It is commonly held in international relations theory that states act in their own interests.
Here in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, we had the International Peace Pow-Wow this weekend (February 26th and 27th). I made this first You Tube (below) to attempt to demonstrate to those who cannot imagine what a bi-national, multi-religious Palestinian state would look like, that multi-national states can and do exist. The indigenous peoples in Canada whilst being denied full economic and legal equality, do at least enjoy certain cultural freedoms which they took full advantage of this weekend in Lethbridge. The events at the Pow-Wow stand in stark contrast to the apartheid-like policies implemented against the indigenous peoples of Palestine by the unlawful Israeli government.
In responding to the worldwide protests aimed at stopping the US-led invasion of Iraq, The New York Times referred in 2003 to the existence of a new global superpower, that of world public opinion. Back then, however, the full potential of this force of change remained unrealized and underdeveloped as demonstrated by the outcome of the events of February 15. On that historic day eight years ago, tens of millions of anti-war protestors came flooding into the streets simultaneously in literally hundreds of large and small cities all over the planet.
Ed Miliband: A Possible Game Changer on British Policy Towards Israel? by Joshua Blakeney for Veterans Today Canadian-based scholar and journalist Joshua Blakeney is prepared to gamble on U.K. opposition leader Ed Miliband emerging as the first western political figure to resist the Zionist meat grinding machine. Ironically, Miliband is the first Labour Party leader [...]
