8th May, 2011

New Delhi: NATO attacks led by America and France on Libya have been widely condemned here in India. On March 22, Lok Sabha members, cutting across party lines, unanimously condemned the US-led coalition air strikes on Libya. MPs from all parties, BJP, BSP, CPI, Muslim League, BJD, Trinamul Congress, N.C, CPIM, NDA observed that NATO has no right to devastate any country. What is happening in Libya is an internal matter of that country and no external power should interfere in it, the MPs unanimously said. However, they expressed their support to democratic forces struggling against the authoritarian regimes. “We are against any military intervention to enforce regime change,” they observed.

While the establishment media was busy parroting President Obama’sannouncement of Osama bin Laden’s supposed assassination, reporting the unsubstantiated claims as if they were unquestionable facts, much of the so-called “alternative” press was far more cautious — and accurate, it turns out. But more importantly, with the new official storyline indicating that bin Laden was in fact unarmed, bigger and much more important questions are beginning to emerge.

Bahrain: International stands humiliate Al Khalifa, Saudi occupiers

Bahrain Freedom Movement

6th May, 2011

As the Al Khalifa dictators and the Saudi occupiers continue their crackdown against the people of Bahrain, the regime is facing difficult choices. On one hand the international pressures are mounting despite the American and British support. President Obama called Bahrain’s dictator earlier this week to warn him against pursuing the destructive path of human rights violations, the continuing detention of the medical staff including doctors and nurses and against the sectarian cleansing. Despite their arrogance, the Al Khalifa were forced to release some of the female medical staff despite their earlier fabrication of stories to incriminate them. There are growing feelings that the world is finally beginning to discover the full extent of the Al Khalifa crimes and to take firm stands against this bloodthirsty regime.

Gertrude Stein

CDSAPI – Citizens Demand Scientific, Academic and Political Integrity

cdsapi@shaw.ca

Ms Stein has sent this in support of Martin Weatheral’s call for  Health Canada to be investigated

The letter asking that Health Canada must be investigated is not only dead on – it is long overdue. There is no greater threat to the health of Canadians than the ignorant arrogance that is pervasive in Health Canada, since they are the ones who set the regulatory standards. For some time now, I have renamed this corrupt government agency as the “Health Prohibition Branch”.
