Affaire Hariri : après la Syrie, le Hezbollah et l’Iran mis en accusation

24th May, 2009
Quatre ans après l’assassinat de l’ancien Premier ministre libanais Rafic Hariri, l’enquête internationale n’a toujours pas abouti et donne lieu à de nouvelles manipulations politiques. Loin de la rigueur qui sied à une procédure judiciaire, un article du Spiegel ouvre un nouvel épisode du feuilleton : puisqu’il a fallu renoncer à accuser la Syrie, faute de preuves, les enquêteurs proches des États-Unis et d’Israël désignent maintenant l’Iran. Ce rebondissement intervient comme un contre-feu, après qu’un journaliste états-unien s’exprimant sur Russia Today, ait accusé Dick Cheney d’avoir commandité le crime.

La Chine commence à s’écarter du dollar

22nd May, 2009
L’accord monétaire tacite entre Washington et Pékin est désormais rompu. Au cours des dernières années, la banque Goldman Sachs avait joué les bons offices pour convaincre le gouvernement US d’accepter la sous-évaluation du yuan, et pour convaincre en échange le gouvernement chinois d’investir en bons du Trésor US. Dés le début de la crise économique aux États-Unis, le directeur de Goldman Sachs, Henry Paulson, avait été nommé par le président Bush secrétaire au Trésor avec toute latitude pour maintenir cet accord. Plus récemment, le président Obama a nommé le lobbyiste pro-Chinois Gary Locke secrétaire au Commerce afin de poursuivre coûte que coûte cette coopération. Pourtant :

Where did America’s missing millions go? Holodomor Lessons
Posted by seumasach on May 27, 2009
That the horrors of the Great Depression went beyond what we have received in school history books is already clear from Steinbeck’s magnificent Grapes of Wrath. The pattern of the the most unfortunate amongst us simply disappearing from media view is being reproduced now: everything is cool until you lose your job, your house or your health, at which point you too disappear from official life and your nightmare begins- you become a “loser”.

U.S. history contains a serious crime against its own people – the Great American Holodomor of 1932/33, which cost the lives of millions. Historian Boris Borisov suggests the U.S. should not lecture Russia on Holodomor in Ukraine, but take a closer look at the lessons from its own past

41 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency Veterans Challenge the Official Account of 9/11
Posted by seumasach on May 27, 2009
19th May, 2009
Following in the footsteps of well over 1,000 scientists and other professional groups who have already gone on record questioning the official theory, more than 40 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency veterans have come forward to challenge the Government’s rendition of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Their behind-the-scenes knowledge and experience of sensitive and classified issues places them in a uniquely authoritative position. In this sense, their critical stance is all the more damning for the government. Conspicuously absent from the landscape are the mainstream media professionals, as they continue to provide cover for the government’s totally bankrupt theory and fail to report on landmark developments such as this.

US Doctors’ association calls for Moratorium on GMO Foods

23rd May, 2009
In a just-released position paper on GMO foods, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) states that ‘GM foods pose a serious health risk’ and calls for a moratorium on GMO foods. Citing several animal studies, the AAEM concludes ‘there is more than a casual association between GMO foods and adverse health effects’ and that ‘GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health.’ The report is a devastating blow to the multibillion dollar international agribusiness industry, most especially to Monsanto Corporation, the world’s leading purveyor of GMO seeds and related herbicides.

Osama Bin Laden: Dead Or Alive?

Osama Bin Laden: Dead Or Alive? by David Ray Griffin is a crucially important and timely examination of the whole range of evidence bearing on the question, is Osama bin Laden still alive? The importance of this question for the present comes from the fact that the United States under its new president is escalating its offensive in Afghanistan and expanding the war into Pakistan, and has claimed that the “hunt for bin Laden” is one of its principal motivations for doing so. Either explicitly or implicitly, the US government and major media outlets such as The New York Times and Washington Post continue to assert that bin Laden is alive, hiding in the tribal territories on the “AfPak” border, posing an undiminished threat to US security.

Gaza is littered with the depleted uranium Israel uses to strengthen its warheads. Now there will be many children born with deformities and even more precious land beyond human habitation or farming.

The Climate-Industrial Complex

Some business leaders are cozying up with politicians and scientists to demand swift, drastic action on global warming. This is a new twist on a very old practice: companies using public policy to line their own pockets.
