Pocos episodios hemos visto en el juicio del 11-M tan escandalosos y tristes como el de los análisis de explosivos. Primero ocultaron los análisis de los focos de explosión de los trenes; luego destruyeron los trenes y las prendas de ropa de las víctimas; más tarde, entregaron para analizar un puñado de muestras que no contenían ni un gramo de resto analizable, cuando de los trenes se habían extraído toneladas de objetos; después, se apagaron las cámaras misteriosamente el día que aparecieron componentes que no formaban parte de la Goma2-ECO; al final, achacaron la aparición de esos componentes que no cuadran con la versión oficial a mágicas moléculas voladoras que todo lo contaminan, pero sin que nadie sepa explicar cómo.

Signs Of An Attempted Coup In New Delhi

Posted by seumasach on November 30, 2008

 

 

“Everywhere the talk is of terrorist groups, tribalism, ethnicity, secession and always the hand of Anglo-American subversion can reasonably suspected although not always proven.The goal here is not global conquest but global chaos; it is a scorched earth policy- if the empire cannot prevail then at least no one else will, and privilege will hold sway over democracy in a world of fragmented nation states and local oligarchies.”

This is how I characterised the spirit of the Obama agenda back in January. Is it this that we now see unfolding?

There are disturbing signs that India, a nuclear-armed nation of a billion people, is witnessing a ‘soft coup’ attempt involving secular rightwing ideologues and Hindu nationalists.

Prominent progressive intellectuals

By Stephen Gowans

Gowanswordpress


James Petras has taken issue with progressive public intellectuals (PPIs) who endorsed the Obama candidacy on pragmatic grounds and who argued the Democratic candidate is a lesser evil, while at the same time condemning lesser evils abroad. In particular, Petras wonders why there’s not a single PPI who supports “the democratically elected Hamas in Palestine or Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the popularly supported nationalist Muqtada al-Sadr in Iraq, the anti-occupation Taliban in Afghanistan or even the right, recognized under international law, of the Iranian people to the peaceful development of nuclear energy.” Whatever their defects, continues Petras, “these are the ‘lesser evil’.” (1) Read the rest of this entry »
