The resignation of Admiral Fallon will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq

Posted by seumasach on June 10, 2008

by Thierry Meyssan(Voltairenet)

Contrary to what has been written so far in the mainstream media, Admiral William Fallon was not removed because he was opposing President Bush on an attack against Iran. He resigned from his own initiative after the agreement he had negotiated and concluded with Tehran, Moscow and Peking was sabotaged by the White House. This decision by the Bush administration will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq and exposes gravely the GI’s to a new Resistance this time supported without restraints from the outside.

Air Force Purge Shows Brzezinski’s TLC Rules DC

Posted by seumasach on June 8, 2008

 

8th June 2008 (REVOLUTIONRADIO)

WASHINGTON, DC — Yesterday’s extraordinary simultaneous ouster of the Secretary of the Air Force and the Air Force chief of staff, followed by the naming of Trilateral Commissioner and Carter administration veteran James Rodney Schlesinger to purge USAF generals and colonels, dramatically documents the fact that power in Washington DC is no long in the hands of the Bush-Cheney-neocon clique, but has passed to the Brzezinski-Trilateral faction.

Posted by seumasach on June 7, 2008

 

By Stephen Gowans(WHAT’S LEFT)
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008  

There is no evidence that the government of Zimbabwe is using food “as a political tool to intimidate voters ahead of an election” or that it is deliberately denying “hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Zimbabweans” food aid, as Human Rights Watch and The New York Times allege.

Maison-Blanche 2008 : un show anti-démocratique

L’élection du président aux États-Unis, tous les quatre ans, est l’occasion d’un grand spectacle médiatique qui tient le monde en haleine. Ce système électoral fort complexe est contrôlé par l’oligarchie et donne l’illusion d’une souveraineté populaire contre laquelle il a été conçu. Thierry Meyssan répond à nos questions sur le fonctionnement méconnu de la « démocratie » made in USA. Read the rest of this entry »

Iran’s Proposals to UN

Posted by seumasach on May 23, 2008

 

Unofficial Translation(CASMII) 

 

13 May 2008 

Excellency, 

 

As I informed you in my previous communications, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a 

responsible Member State of the United Nations Organization, and based on its international 

rights and obligations, has always emphasized on the importance of multilateralism. 

Unfortunately, a few countries, with political motivations and objectives, have raised some 

ambiguities over Iran’s exclusively peaceful nuclear program and have used the UN Organs 

as a tool, thus undermining the integrity and credibility of the United Nations. Read the rest of this entry »

Zimbabwe ‘crisis’ and the Uganda ‘success’ story

Posted by seumasach on May 21, 2008

 

Why is Zimbabwe reported and portrayed to be where it is today? Maybe you already know the answer.
21 May 2008
by Timothy Kalyegira
(monitor.co.ug)
As I focus these days on the dark deception at the international level, we turn today to the most extreme example: Zimbabwe. I have followed world media reports extensively but there is something I have not once heard asked or discussed: Why is Zimbabwe, once one of Africa’s most promising countries, where it is today? Or more pointedly, why is Zimbabwe reported and portrayed to be where it is today? Read the rest of this entry »
