Golaghat: Sparrows are disappearing from many parts of the country, and specially from Assam where electro-magnetic radiation from communication towers, use of leaded petrol in vehicles and overuse of chemicals and pesticides in agriculture have been cited as causes by scientists.

The scale of the ongoing tragedy visited on Libya by NATO and its allies is becoming horribly clearer with each passing day. Estimates of those killed so far vary, but 50,000 seems like a low estimate; indeed the British Ministry of Defence was boasting that the onslaught had killed 35,000 as early as last May. But this number is constantly growing. The destruction of the state’s forces by British, French and American blitzkrieg has left the country in a state of total anarchy – in the worst possible sense of the word.

The Houla massacre may drive the situation in Syria to a new phase. “Only Russia, China can stop carnage in Syria”, an opinion piece published by CNN on Monday, claimed that China and Russia’s support for Bashar al-Assad is the reason for the Syrians’ suffering. This kind of rhetoric is not new. Western media has been taking this tone ever since China and Russia double-vetoed the Syrian resolution in the UN Security Council.

Russia hopes that the European states will refrain from launching a military intervention in Syria, says Moscow’s envoy to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov.
“I sincerely hope that the European, as well as other countries’ leaders will manage to keep cool and bereasonable enough to avoid the dangerous path of escalation of tensions, or, especially, an armedintervention,” Chizhov said during a Moscow-Brussels videoconference on Thursday.

Lagarde and the Greeks … a comedy, not a tragedy! Christine Lagerde, head of the IMF, recently told journalists that she had no sympathy for the difficulties encoutered by the Greek people and that they should pay their taxes rather than complaining.

Il est tout-à-fait étonnant de constater que François Hollande a décidé le 29/05 de renvoyer l’ambassadrice de Syrie à Paris, suite aux massacres dits de Houla, en total alignement avec les positions prises par le bloc atlantique mené par Obama. La France prend ainsi parti dans une affaire qui n’a rien de clair, avec une rapidité que le valeureux Bernard Henri Levy n’a pas manqué de saluer.

C’est un artifice classique de propagande de présenter une opinion particulière comme une vérité consensuelle, de sorte que ceux qui la contestent ont l’impression de se marginaliser. Appliquant ce mécanisme à la Syrie, la presse occidentale et du Golfe attribue mensongèrement à l’ONU toutes sortes de positions qui ne sont pas les siennes. En réponse à des courriels de lecteurs, Thierry Meyssan pointe quelques manipulations de vocabulaire.

There are other possible motivations for this kind of terrorism apart from that of provoking a full-scale war. Most obviously, NATO fears the shift in French foreign policy following the election of Francois Hollande and wish to constrain him within the Atlanticist framework laid down by Sarkozy.

A prominent political analyst says that NATO-backed armed gangs have been behind the recent killing of civilians in the Syrian town of Houla.

The nightmare scenario has come to be, yet there is much more to the first round of the Egyptian presidential elections than meets the eye

For many Egyptians it is the worst case scenario. Coming to work this morning my cab driver is seething: “They’re as bad as each other, I won’t be voting,” he pledged, referring to the final runoff election between the two front-runners, due to take place in mid-June. He lamented the relatively slim-margin defeat of leftist candidate Hamdeen Sabbahi, “he got Cairo and Alexandria and, God bless the Prophet, Port Said.”
