UN slams Israel human rights violations Posted: 18 Jun 2010 03:25 AM PDT A three-member United Nations body has called for an end to human rights violations by Israel in the occupied territories of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and the Syrian Golan Heights, after hearing from dozens of witnesses during a recent visit to the region. "The testimonies that we have heard attest to a failure to address the long-standing pattern of serious violations of human rights," said Ambassador Palitha Kohona of Sri Lanka, who serves as Chairman of the UN Special Committee on Israeli Practices in the Occupied Territories.

CrossTalk: US Strikes Gold in Afghanistan? Posted: 18 Jun 2010 01:06 AM PDT On this edition of Peter Lavelle's CrossTalk, he asks his guests whether the Pentagon is only playing a PR game claiming Afghanistan can become a leading resource country during a time when US-led forces are losing the fight against the Taliban.

What Does Gary Brooks Farber's Quixotic Mission Say About the Rest of Us? Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:54 AM PDT His brother said: "He's not crazy. He's not a psychopath. He's not a sociopath. He's a man on a mission." His sister described him as a "very patriotic," man who "had grown frustrated with the public debate over [our] two major wars [as] the main cause had been forgotten [which was that] a man ordered a hit on our country, so we went to war." . . . reports the New York Times on Gary Brooks Farber:

Jewish racism against Jews in Israel Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:44 AM PDT On Thursday, over 100,000 Orthodox Israeli Jews gathered in Jerusalem to show the ugly side of Talmud – not to show their usual hatred toward Jesus, his mother Mary and Christians at large, but racism against their fellow non-European Israeli Jew citizens. These fanatic Zionist Jews were showing their religious contempt for the rest of humanity on Israel's Supreme Court ruling – forcing the European and Arab Jewish girls to study together at a religious girl school.

DebunkThis!

So many people find it hard to believe that we are being Poisoned, tested on, lied to, that plans are documented to control and contain us as well as kill us by the powers that be. That indeed conspiracies exist and that not everyone who speaks of this is a nut job or else you would have to call yourself a nut job. Whether its OJ, Michael Jackson or 911, everyone speaks of conspiracies. This show isn't about why they do what they do, it's about the fact that it has and is being done. This wont be a show covering hours worth of evidence. We will focus on an element or two to keep it simple and to the point.

Flotilla Check: Facts and Israeli Lies Posted: 18 Jun 2010 12:20 AM PDT Flouting international demands for an independent investigation of its deadly attack on a humanitarian aid flotilla in international waters, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formed an internal commission composed of three Israelis and two, non-voting international observers. The commission chair, retired Israeli Supreme Court justice Jacob Turkel, expressed his hope that the panel would finish its work as "quickly" as possible. And Netanyahu has promised that the "Gaza flotilla probe will show the world Israel acted lawfully." Both comments leave many observers wondering how seriously the findings of a quick, internal investigation with a seemingly pre-determined outcome can be taken. Skepticism is heightened by the way in which Israel handled evidence of the incident and by what many see as its misinformation campaign designed to discredit the flotilla's humanitarian aid workers.

The Collapsing Western Way of Life Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:40 PM PDT The Age of Enlightenment was born sometime around the beginning of the eighteenth century. A mere three-quarters of a century later, industrialization ushered in the Age of Endarkenment, and human life has grown more and more perilous ever since. The Golden Age of capitalism cannot be recreated merely by applying the right mixture of spending, subsidies, re-regulation, and international agreements. Because the economic advantages of industrialization rely on overproduction and profit, balanced trade is impossible if the advantage is to be preserved; it entails no economic profit. Industrialism is a Hegelian synthesis which embodies the forces for its own destruction. The greatest threat to the Western Way of Life is the Western Way of Life itself.

Oval Office Duplicity: Cover for Corporate Criminality Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:08 PM PDT Since taking office, Obama proved himself a machine politician, not a man of the people, an earlier article explaining it this way: He promised peace and delivered war; real health and financial reform, not same old, same old; help for millions losing jobs, homes, hope and futures, not handouts to Wall Street and other industry favorites; regulatory oversight, not the usual incestuous government-industry ties, making disasters like in the Gulf possible, and when they happen conspiring with offenders in coverup, distortion, lies, and a total disregard for the environment, wildlife, and way of life for thousands - let alone permanent damage to a vital ecosystem.

Israel should consider a one-state solution - it might soon be its only option Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:14 PM PDT Israel would do well to apply some of the features of the one-state solution: to become a truly liberal, secular state without ethnic dominance in which subgroups no longer try to impose their way of life on each other. In a recent op-ed, Moshe Arens suggested that Israel seriously consider the option of a single state west of the Jordan, in which Palestinians be granted full citizenship.

Erdogan is not the bogeyman Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:43 PM PDT Public opinion is the main driver in Turkish policy on Israel-Palestine. Crises with Israel have always followed any Turkish perception that injustice is being done to the Palestinians. Myth-makers have been busily at work since the May 31 Israeli commando assault on the civilian Turkish ship Mavi Marmara on its way to try to break the Gaza blockade.

Polish Troops Training with Illinois National Guard to Take on Gun Owners! Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:38 PM PDT Rob Dew Just got back from the state of illinois and video tapped Polish troops training with National Guardsmen to take Americans Guns Away when the order comes down! Rob will appear on the alex jones show for a full break down of what he saw on Friday's show - 6/17/2010 www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv

Israel's 'Final Solution' Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:29 PM PDT You live in a home your family has lived in for generations. On the edge of the village you own a plot of land on which you raise olives and grow vegetables to feed your family. You remember your grandfather working that land, and smile. He was a good man who loved his family and you miss him.

Red Pill or Blue Pill Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:12 PM PDT Alex Jones talks about taking the Red Pill vs the Blue Pill.

The Israeli Role in the Plundering of Iceland (Part 2) Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:04 PM PDT Shortly before the catastrophic collapse of Iceland's three major banks in the fall of 2008, the island nation was ranked as one of the wealthiest and most productive nations in the world. The financial damage caused by the plundering of Iceland's banks is the worst suffered by any country in economic history relative to the size of its economy. When the privatized banks of Kaupthing, Glitnir, and Landsbanki collapsed in October 2008 they had reportedly amassed debts equivalent to 12 times Iceland's gross domestic product. The looting of the Nordic nation's banks did not happen by accident, but was done through a conspiracy that has the distinct hallmarks of an Israeli intelligence operation. Recognizing these hallmarks is essential to solving the crime and preventing it from occurring to other nations.

Why Do Jews Commit Massacres? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:52 PM PDT Humanity is shocked, once again, by the Israeli massacre of nine peace activists on the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla on Memorial Day. Eyewitness testimony and the evidence indicate that unarmed victims, including one American teenager, were executed in cold blood. Shocking Israeli massacres of unarmed civilians are actually very common and frequent. During Christmas of 2008, for example, the Israeli military (headed by Ehud Barak) launched a criminal assault against the defenseless population of the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,400 civilians – many with white phosphorus and other banned weapons. Although a U.N. investigation determined that Israeli forces committed a raft of war crimes during the assault, neither the prime minister nor the defense minister Ehud Barak was charged with war crimes.

Is Israel Doomed? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:46 PM PDT Is the Zionist regime doomed, as the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on June 11 during a trip to China? Will the state of Israel survive? If the Zionist regime were to cease to exist tomorrow, would the world be a better, safer place? These are the real questions that Ahmadinejad's statement raises. First, it should be remembered that unpopular political regimes fail and go out of business all the time. Scores of regimes have passed from the scene during the past thirty years and very few are lamenting their passing. About half the nations of Europe have seen complete regime changes since the late 1980s and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Very few people were hurt during this political earthquake that changed the government regimes of some 150 million people.

Kyrgyzstan: Bloodstained Geopolitical Chessboard Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:40 PM PDT Events in a remote, landlocked and agrarian nation of slightly over five million people have become the center of world attention. A week of violence which first erupted in Kyrgyzstan's second largest city, Osh, in the south of the country, has resulted in the deaths of at least 120 civilians and in over 1,700 being injured.

The Collapse of Israel's Old Narrative Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:36 PM PDT One can only marvel at the Israeli blunders that have been parading lately before our eyes. Once masterly in her command over unruly events and dexterous in enlisting adversity in the service of opportunity, Israel today seems capable mostly of piling embarrassing faux pas upon serious foul ups. It is very tempting to blame the current Israeli government, as many already have, for all the recent failures. The infantile arrogance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the thuggery of his Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, the uncouthness of his deputy Daniel Ayalon and the obtuse stridency of the religious-settler-nationalist mindset that dominates the unabashedly rightist cabinet paint a jarring portrait of the ruling Israeli coalition. The rather comforting conclusion for the country's more forgiving friends is: a different coalition, a different Israel. But it has become palpably clear that the realities of the Jewish state's predicament are much starker.

Leaks and Lies Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:00 PM PDT For two months, the Obama administration has been skirting the truth about its inept response to the April 20 BP Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion and the resulting fire and oil spill. The O-Team claims it has been "on top" of this problem since "day one." Reality shows that both the leaks and the lies continue. On June 15, President Barack Obama, master and commander of the teleprompter, tried using his first address from the Oval Office to convince the American people that his team was doing all that could be done in handling "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced." It was, even his supporters agree, a failure.

The Human Face on History Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:00 PM PDT The sun shines bright on an unusually warm day for early June. Men, women and children in t-shirts arrayed in black, red and gold, the national colors, celebrate the German national soccer team playing for the World Cup in South Africa. A visitor, untutored in the rules of the game, can tell from the spontaneous roars from all over the city that the game is going well. Diners at outdoor cafes watch television screens while nibbling a wurst and sipping a beer. Children dart between tables with ice cream cones, squealing with laughter, delighted to be staying up late even though there's school the next day. There's a distinct full-throated roar -- it seems to come from everywhere -- every time Germany scores a goal. There are four such roars as the Australians are shut out, 4 to 0.

Club Fed for Illegal Aliens Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:00 PM PDT Thanks to their international "human rights" advocates, Gitmo detainees receive art therapy, movie nights and video games at their U.S. taxpayer-funded camp in Cuba. Now, the left's bleeding heart lobby wants to provide similar taxpayer-sponsored perks to illegal alien detainees on American soil. Welcome to the open-borders Club Fed. According to an internal Department of Homeland Security e-mail obtained by the Houston Chronicle, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency plans a radical overhaul of the immigration detention system. No, the reforms will not increase the nation's measly, chronically underfunded detention bed capacity — fewer than 35,000 beds last fiscal year to cover an estimated illegal alien population of between 12 million and 20 million. The Obama ICE leadership is headed in the exact opposite direction.

Israel's Flotilla 'Investigation' Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT The New York Times, whose regional bureau chief has a son in the Israeli military, reports that Israel has just appointed a panel charged with investigating its attack on an aid flotilla that killed nine aid volunteers, including a 19-year-old American. Isabel Kershner, who is an Israeli citizen and has refused to answer questions about her possible family ties to the Israeli military, writes the report.

Kick Ass or Buy Gas? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT It couldn't be worse, could it?  In the Gulf, BP now claims to be retrieving 15,000 barrels of oil a day from the busted pipe 5,000 feet down.  That's three times the total amount of oil it claimed, bare weeks ago, was coming out of that pipe.  A government panel of experts now suggests that the real figure could be up to 60,000 barrels or 2.5 million gallons a day, the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez spill every four days — and some independent experts think the figure could actually be closer to 100,000 barrels a day. In the meantime, we just learned from the Los Angeles Times that — go figure — the "primary responsibility for safety and other inspections" on the oil rig that blew in the Gulf "rested not with the U.S. government but with the Republic of the Marshall Islands," and that those impoverished islands had outsourced their responsibilities to private companies.  Go BP!  We also learned that the relief wells sure to staunch the flow of oil by "early August" could take far longer, fail, or even make matters significantly worse; that BP cut every corner in the book to save money when drilling its well; and, oh, that evidently even the heavens are angry at the oil giant, since on Tuesday a lightning strike put its sole drill/retrieval ship in the Gulf out of action for hours, leaving all that oil pouring into the water unimpeded.  However bad the bad news is, each new dawn it only seems to get worse, as does the "collateral damage," whether to pelicans or the Gulf's beaches and wetlands.

The Snitch Syndrome Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT The more one looks at the Bradley Manning case, the stranger the whole thing seems. SPC Manning, you'll recall, is the 22-year-old intelligence analyst arrested for … well, there still haven't been any charges filed, after three weeks, but what we know is this: He is the "leaker" who got his hands on the "Collateral Murder" video that showed US pilots chortling as they shot down Iraqi civilians in cold blood. He also leaked a video showing an apparently much bloodier massacre in Garani, Afghanistan, carried out by US forces. Wikileaks is said to be preparing its release soon. Furthermore, Manning also reportedly gained access to 260,000 US diplomatic cables – the history of US shenanigans abroad for at least the past few years — and handed them over to Wikileaks.

What Price Afghanistan? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:00 PM PDT "The narrative … has been too negative." So says Defense Secretary Robert Gates of political and press commentary about the war in Afghanistan. It reminds him of the pessimism of June 2007, before the Iraqi surge began to succeed, said Gates.

The Answer Starts With "M" and Ends With "ossad", or, Is There Something More? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 05:14 PM PDT There is a whole cavalcade of men and women out to blame anyone but the Jews for the disaster taking place in Kyrgyzstan. The news is reporting that members of the UN see outside forces behind the violence, which is obviously well orchestrated, not spontaneous: Kyrgyzstan violence: UN official accuses outside groups of planning attacks

Regulating derivatives could lower price of food Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:56 PM PDT Pollin: Unregulated speculation in food and oil is major factor in creating food and energy price bubbles

What Sort of Christians become Zionists? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:22 PM PDT 'We categorically reject Christian Zionist doctrines as a false teaching that corrupts the biblical message of love, justice and reconciliation.' – The Jerusalem Declaration. Not all Jews are Zionists. Many reject the Zionist project and fight against it.

Israeli Concessions on Gaza Fall Short of a New Policy Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:01 PM PDT Israel's announcement Thursday that it would ease the restrictions on goods entering Gaza has been received by NGOs and the international community as a move in the right direction, but as not going far enough in lifting the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.

Islamophobia Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:00 PM PDT The word implies that the "phobe" has a neurological problem, and that the accuser is a doctor. Islamophobia, it is suggested, is akin to those other irrational fears that we all carry within the darkest whorls of our cerebral cortexes—agoraphobia, claustrophobia, vertigo, arachnophobia, xenophobia, Oedipus Complex, and penis envy (the latter not to be confused with homophobia). Many non-Muslims do feel an instinctive aversion to Islam. Ghostly green banners flutter at the margins of Europe's consciousness—shivery folk-memories of the horns at Roncesvalles, catastrophe at Constantinople, Barbary slavers harrying coasts from Ireland to Greece, or the janissaries sweeping up from Anatolia to stab at Austria before being turned and broken by the Lion of Lechistan.

Anti-Palestinism is Hate Speech Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:29 PM PDT I bet you've never heard of anti-Palestinism? In Israel and the United States, defaming and delegitimizing the Palestinians is a national sport; but have you ever heard anybody complain about it? Why didn't Americans get worked up when 1,400 Palestinians were incinerated with Israeli phosphorous bombs? Why did the murder of 300 children in last year's assault not touch a nerve? Why did it take three long years and the slaughter of eight Turks and a Turkish-American citizen to notice that Israel has incarcerated 1.5 million Palestinians in a concentration camp?

Deficit Terrorists Strike In The UK – USA Next? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:24 PM PDT Last week, England's new government said it would abandon the previous government's stimulus program and introduce the austerity measures required to pay down its estimated $1 trillion in debts. That means cutting public spending, laying off workers, reducing consumption, and increasing unemployment and bankruptcies. It also means shrinking the money supply, since virtually all "money" today originates as loans or debt. Reducing the outstanding debt will reduce the amount of money available to pay workers and buy goods, precipitating depression and further economic pain.

What's the Mama Grizzly Up To? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:15 PM PDT When Sarah Palin, in a rambling lakeside announcement last July in Wasilla, said she was quitting as governor of Alaska because of the abuse she and her family were taking from petty politicians and a feral press, she was written off as dead by the pundits.

Worldwide quarantine Posted: 17 Jun 2010 02:35 PM PDT A worldwide quarantine of all Jews - which I think would be voluntary  in many instances, once the news gets out about what they've really  done to the world - would suspend all of their rights in every country  on Earth. Whether they would be forcibly detained or merely put in a  kind of economic stasis remains to be seen. Each country can work out  its own plan, but the basics of this worldwide audit of what Judaism -  in its criminal syndicalism - has done to the world must include a  thorough analysis of the financial shell game they've been playing all  these years, and how it is a deck of cards stacked in their favor.

Top Ten Myths about the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by Jeremy R. Hammond Posted: 17 Jun 2010 01:07 PM PDT Although Arabs were a majority in Palestine prior to the creation of the state of Israel, there had always been a Jewish population, as well. For the most part, Jewish Palestinians got along with their Arab neighbors. This began to change with the onset of the Zionist movement, because the Zionists rejected the right of the Palestinians to self-determination and wanted Palestine for their own, to create a "Jewish State" in a region where Arabs were the majority and owned most of the land.

Palestine – The Third Option Posted: 17 Jun 2010 12:20 PM PDT The other day, I came across two interesting articles. One written by an American Jew and the other by an Israeli-born Jew. Roger Tucker, an American and founder of One Democratic State, had featured this blog once and Israeli-born Brit Gilad Atzmon who has been quoted several times on this blog. Both writers dismiss the western 'option' of the two-state solution – in order to make the modern Jews-only (demographically) colonial experiment, everlasting. These two Jew writers are not blinded by their Jewishness, like columinist Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post or Daniel Pipes, who claim that the world is against Israel and Jews to please Muslims.

A tragedy of errors Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT Demonization of the Haredim by the general public is growing, and repercussions will soon follow. There is no choice but to enforce court rulings. Even those who take issue with the way the High Court of Justice handled the Immanuel school case should say loudly and clearly that court rulings must be respected. The courts provide the societal restraints that enable us to live together. They are the spearhead of that sovereign power whose might keeps men from devouring each other, and nothing must be done to diminish their authority.

President's finest hour Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed racial discrimination in every American school. It was perhaps the greatest achievement of the Eisenhower presidency. Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th president of the United States. He served two terms, from 1953 to 1961. He made his main mark on history in his military career, including his responsibility for the Allied landing in Normandy in June 1944. That started the campaign in Western Europe; Berlin fell about a year later.

Better late than never Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT The army's failure to investigate allegations for crimes in the Gaza War have shown how much Israel needs groups like B'Tselem to expose the truth. The military advocate general is poised to file a grave indictment against an Israel Defense Forces soldier from the Givati Brigade who allegedly shot and killed two Palestinian women carrying white flags in an open field during Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. Riyeh and Majda Abu Hajaj, a mother and daughter, were killed while fleeing their home after the IDF had ordered them to leave it.

Which is worse, a poem or a flotilla? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT This week, hundreds turned out for the inauguration of a cultural center named after the poet Mahmoud Darwish, including at least three Jews. Relations between Jews and Arabs in Israel have never been as bad as they are now. This week, I once again experienced the alienation. A cultural center named for the poet Mahmoud Darwish was inaugurated in Kafr Yasif, near Acre. Hundreds of people came, all of them Arabs. The Jews could be counted on the orphaned fingers of one hand. I identified three, but even Jews do not have horns.

The Gaza blockade is effectively over Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT Enforcement of the siege has all but ended - part of the price Israel is paying to restore its international reputation after its disastrous flotilla raid. Despite the contradictory statements issued by the Prime Minister's Office yesterday, the general direction is clear. Whether the decision has already been made, as the English statement indicates, or will become official only at a later stage, as the Hebrew statement implies, Israel has folded.

Easing of Gaza blockade marks victory for flotilla activists Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT Enforcement of the siege has all but ended - part of the price Israel is paying to restore its international reputation after its disastrous flotilla raid. Despite the contradictory statements issued by the Prime Minister's Office yesterday, the general direction is clear. Whether the decision has already been made, as the English statement indicates, or will become official only at a later stage, as the Hebrew statement implies, Israel has folded.

Israeli apathy is to blame for ultra-Orthodox arrogance Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:39 AM PDT Why do the Haredim have their own school system? Because the state lets them get away with it. I really would like to dedicate this column to praising Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy for standing up for the rule of law and calling time on the despicable segregation between girls of Ashkenazi origin and those of Sephardi or Mizrahi origin in ultra-Orthodox schools. But as much as his decision to jail the 74 couples who are refusing to allow their daughters to attend a desegregated school in Immanuel for their breathtaking contempt of his court is justified, his judicial wrath is misdirected.

Israel Navigates Between Inquiries Posted: 17 Jun 2010 11:32 AM PDT Israel's easing of its land blockade of Gaza is unlikely to lessen international pressure for a change in its policies towards the Palestinians. Nor can Israel be expected to give up its battle to undermine Hamas' control of the Gaza Strip. On Thursday, a fortnight after the Israeli navy's deadly raid on a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for the Hamas-ruled territory that provoked an international outcry, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet voted to 'liberalise' the procedures under which Israel has allowed goods into Gaza for the past four years.

The LWOT: Grand jury returns Shahzad indictment; Supreme Court rejects rendition lawsuit Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:26 AM PDT A federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York returned an indictment on June 17 of Faisal Shahzad, the prime suspect in the failed May 1 Times Square car bomb attack. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said that the indictment proved that "the Pakistani Taliban facilitated Faisal Shahzad's attempted attack on American soil," and served as a reminder that the United States "face[s] an evolving threat that we must continue to fight with every tool available to the government."

International organizations renew condemnation of Gaza siege Posted: 17 Jun 2010 10:15 AM PDT On Monday, 14 June, Muhammad Juma Abu Wardeh, a 17-year-old Palestinian laborer, was shot and wounded by Israeli snipers along the "buffer zone" in eastern Gaza as he collected materials for a cement plant in Jabaliya, north of Gaza City. Israel's ongoing blockade against the Gaza Strip has prevented access to raw construction materials, such as cement and industrial aggregates, forcing workers to risk their lives to trawl open agricultural areas for resources.

Out of the Closet, into the Chat Rooms Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:47 AM PDT How the Internet is revolutionizing gay rights in Latin America. The Internet has transformed many lives -- not least those of Latin America's lesbian communities. Thirty years ago, before Internet cafes and personal computers were common in Latin America, being a lesbian was an often isolating experience. Even today, social stigma and physical violence are far too common reactions to lesbian communities in the region. Strong Catholic social and religious roots, which reinforce the heterosexual family as the central "building block," make living openly difficult if not dangerous: Many women cannot rely on family or community support if they come out. Limited resources have resulted in the near impossibility of maintaining convening locales; local governments and external foundations are usually unwilling to sponsor lesbian groups; and women-oriented cafes and bars have trouble generating revenue.

Embargoes and Blockades used as a Method of Warfare Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:43 AM PDT In 1990, in arguably some of the most chilling lines written in recent history, Gary Clyde Hufbauer, et al., wrote, regarding embargoes, in an advisory document for the George H.W. Bush Administration: ": ... We present our short list of 'do's and don'ts' for the architects of a sanctions policy designed to change the politics of the target country ... (3) Do pick on the weak and helpless ...(5) Do impose the maximum cost on your target ..." (1) On Hiroshima Day 1990, the most comprehensive embargo ever imposed by the UN., was imposed on Iraq.

Couples Retreat Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:38 AM PDT French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have long had a testy relationship, but at the EU Summit they'll need to patch things up quickly to save the union -- and possibly their own governments. There are many reasons why marriages fail, but often the culprit is disagreement over money. Apparently, countries joined in long-term political unions behave no differently than spouses. Such is certainly the case for France and Germany, whose partnership forms the backbone of that ever-expanding, increasingly motley family known as the European Union. But the family has now fallen on hard times -- cousins have loans coming due they are hard-pressed to make good on, Spain, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal among them. If a widening sovereign debt crisis, a common currency in free fall, and austerity plans weren't enough bad news for Europe, it appears that the already rocky relations between French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have reached a new low.

US War Ships off the Chinese Coast Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:35 AM PDT More and more Chinese citizens are incensed that the United States and South Korea will hold joint military drills in the Yellow Sea at the end of this month. The feelings of Chinese people must be respected if the United States sincerely wishes to safeguard the stability and prosperity of the western Pacific. The latest online survey by the Web site of the Global Times shows 96 percent of Chinese netizens believe it poses a threat to China that the U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington, as a symbol of the country's military power, may take part in the joint drills. And thousands of Internet users expressed their dissatisfaction and said they "could not calm down" when an expert said that Chinese should be face this calmly.

Lethal Force on the Border Posted: 17 Jun 2010 09:00 AM PDT Sergio Hernandez Guereca's short life revolved around the U.S.-Mexico border that ultimately led to his death. On June 7, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a U.S. Border Patrol agent shot the 15-year-old Hernandez in the face in Mexican territory between Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and El Paso, Texas. Most of the facts are not in dispute. A cell-phone video aired on Univision shows four people crossing into U.S. territory over the dried-up riverbed of the Rio Grande. When one is captured by a Border Patrol agent, the others begin to run back to the Mexico side. The Border Patrol agent opens fire across the border.

What if the BP Gusher in the Gulf is Unstoppable? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 08:15 AM PDT Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement on the Floor of the House of Representatives about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico: "What if the BP gusher in the Gulf is unstoppable? "This is the challenging question that is making its way through various blogs. What if millions of barrels of oil continue to flow uncontrolled from the hole in the seabed?

The UN Secret Detention Report (Part Three): Proxy Detention, Other Countries' Complicity, and Obama's Record Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:10 AM PDT To complement my recent article, "UN Human Rights Council Discusses Secret Detention Report ," in which I explained how, two weeks ago, the UN Human Rights Council had — after some delays — finally discussed the findings of the "Joint Study on Global Practices in Relation to Secret Detention in the Context of Counter-Terrorism," a detailed, 186-page report issued in February (PDF ), I'm posting the section of the report that deals with US secret detention policies since the 9/11 attacks, in the hope that it might reach a new audience — and provide useful research opportunities — as an HTML document. I do, however, urge everyone to read the whole report, because the introduction and conclusions are important, as are the sections establishing the legal approach to secret detention and its historical context, the section detailing current practices in 25 other countries worldwide, and the annexes, which contain government responses to a questionnaire about secret detention, and a number of case studies.

Ahava campaign comes to court Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:06 AM PDT In France, the campaign to boycott Ahava Dead Sea cosmetics has entered a new phase with boycott, divestment and sanctions advocates taking legal action against the Sephora cosmetics retail chain's contract with the company. Ahava manufactures its cosmetics in a factory in the illegal Mitzpe Shalem settlement in the occupied West Bank. However, Ahava labels its skin care products as originating from "The Dead Sea, Israel." The Israeli settlements of Mitzpe Shalem and Kaliya co-founded Ahava's factory Dead Sea Laboratories and own 44 percent of the shares of the company. Both Mitzpe Shalem and Kaliya are close to the shores of the Dead Sea, exploiting it for tourism. The mud used in Ahava products is taken from a site near Kaliya, along the occupied shores of the Dead Sea. Ahava uses Palestinian natural resources without permission and compensation. In addition, Ahava runs an information center for tourists in the Mitzpe Shalem settlement.

More About Captured Presumed Mossad Terrorist Posted: 17 Jun 2010 07:02 AM PDT Following the capture in Poland of the suspected Israeli terrorist attached to mossad, Uri Brodsky, on last 4 June 2010, who was arrested by the Polish Police on a German arrest warrant related to the acquisition and/or falsification of at least one German passport which was used during the Dubai assassination plot last January. After contradictory and false news published by the Israeli media, and because of the shortage of relevant information about the issue released by the Polish government, I sent a request for information to the Press Speaker of the Regional Prosecutor Office in Warsaw, Prosecutor Monika Lewandowska, and the foreign and interior ministries of Poland about the issue of Brodsky.

Israels New Humanitarianism Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:42 AM PDT Last week, Israel permitted the transport of jam, halva and shaving razors into Gaza. Since September 2007, goods entering Gaza had been limited to a 'humanitarian minimum' of approximately 70 items of foodstuffs and medicines (4000 items were allowed in before the blockade). During a visit to Gaza in February 2009, John Kerry discovered that Israel had banned pasta but not rice, because the latter was considered a necessity while the former was a luxury.

Rights and Wrongs of Armed Resistance Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:42 AM PDT Civil Liberties/Democratic Rights groups have for long grappled with the problem of their relationship with groups and organizations which subscribe to armed resistance and/or have been proscribed by the authorities. In truth it is a senseless policy to suppress any political ideology, because ideas and issues should not be shackled. It is not acceptable that just because the State has declared some ideas to be abhorrent, and proscribed proponents of such views. People are witness to systematic abuse by authorities of these arbitrary powers for their self-interest or for narrow consideration. Especially because the provision invoked for imposing a ban fall under the genre of "national security" guided legal provisions where parliamentary oversight and judicial redressal in reality get circumscribed. What compounds the problem is when a crackdown ensues even the routine formality of what passes for 'rule of law' gets suspended to the exigencies of war where kill or get killed becomes the reigning doctrine.

Critiquing Masculinity At The Corps Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:39 AM PDT For the past decade I have been actively involved in movements to resist the United States' imperial military activity in the world and to critique men's sexual exploitation of women in pornography. So, when the organizers of a "Heroes and Healthy Families" conference for U.S. Marines asked me to speak about the harms of pornography, I was a bit conflicted.

Mounting Foreclosures Across America: Homeowners Seek Mortgage Justice Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:31 AM PDT Somehow, I can't escape CNN. Last Saturday I joined Ted Turner, Wolf Blitzer and more than 300 current and former CNN employees at a celebration of the network's 30th anniversary at the National Press Club in Washington. I was there as one of the "CNN Originals," the many staffers who helped originate what was mocked as the Chicken Noodle Network in Atlanta back in June l980.

Thursday: 9 Iraqis Killed, 8 Wounded Posted: 17 Jun 2010 06:03 AM PDT At least nine Iraqis were killed and eight more were wounded in the latest violence. Hundreds of Kurds, however, have been displaced from their homes because of shelling from Iranian troops. Also, dozens of people were accidentally poisoned in Baghdad. The Kurdistan Regional Government is asking Iran to cease shelling Iraqi territory and to pullout troops that had crossed the border during operations against the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan rebels. At least four rebels were killed and three more surrendered. Hundreds of Kurdish Iraqis, however, are stuck in refugee camps because of the artillery fire. Meanwhile, Turkish troops withdrew from Iraqi territory after an operation against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). The two rebel groups are affiliated.

Gaza Blockade: Easing Life or Loosening the Noose? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 05:49 AM PDT Israel has announced it will ease the land blockade of Gaza. It comes after weeks of international condemnation over the country's aid flotilla attack that left nine activists dead.

The Spanish George W. Bush Posted: 17 Jun 2010 04:58 AM PDT Europeans have their own version of George W. Bush.

The Feel Good Genocide Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:47 AM PDT Last night I decided to take a break from a big creative project I'm working on meant to inspire our people and reconnect them to the ideals they use to live by. For a little bit of fun I decided to write a satire poking fun at the genocidal hypocrisy of our enemies. Like my project the posts here can be long and in-depth so I want to share it for a little humor here. Enjoy!

'J Street' leader suggests that Israel's behavior threatens security of Jews in U.S. Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:30 AM PDT J Street founder Jeremy Ben-Ami had a conversation about criticizing Israel last night with Jeffrey Goldberg at New York's Ethical Culture Society (which Goldberg quipped is the "Chabad House for atheists"). The conversation was most remarkable for the fears both these ardent Zionists expressed about what Israel's becoming, and Palestine too. "The West Bank is developing apartheid-like qualities, I'm not disputing you," Goldberg said. But the journalist challenged Ben-Ami about presuming to judge Israel's security interests, rather than letting "your cousin in Tel Aviv" and other Israelis make that judgment. Isn't that a little "vicarious" of you, and couldn't you be wrong? Ben-Ami:

Leave Afghanistan and Declare bin Laden Dead in One Fell Swoop Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:25 AM PDT Someone recently posted a blurb to a security list I play on, quoting a noted Mid East analyst (whose work I admire, incidentally) as saying that the Democrats can't leave Afghanistan, because that would make them losers, and as a result, they would lose elections for decades to come. I guess I was either under or over-caffeinated at the moment, because this is a polite version of what spewed out of my terminal . . .

The 2010 Bush-Cheney Gulf Coast Oil Spill Posted: 17 Jun 2010 03:18 AM PDT More often than not, the consequences of public policies, good or bad, are felt many years after they have been taken. The 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a good example. This disaster is, to a large extent, a consequence of the Bush-Cheney energy policy  of 2001 and later.

SDRs and World Currency - Bob Chapman on Economics 101 Posted: 17 Jun 2010 02:53 AM PDT International Forecaster Bob Chapman joins us to discuss the IMF-administered Special Drawing Rights and the possibility of a world currency on this edition of Economics 101.

Repeated Hamas Mistakes Doesn't Serve Conciliation Posted: 17 Jun 2010 02:22 AM PDT Since the bloody fighting started between Hamas and Fatah movements in the Gaza Strip, talks about reconciliation have occurred as well. Moreover, the reconciliation were supposed to include all Palestinians due to what happened during the infighting in Gaza, but since then, the Hamas movement has gotten tougher in its demands and raised the bar for the conciliation to happen.

Inside Story - Is Obama using the BP oil crisis? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 02:11 AM PDT It is more than eight weeks since a BP oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, and millions of gallons of oil have been spewing into the sea. Barack Obama, the US president, said BP will have to bear the brunt for the massive damage it has caused to the environment, people and businesses. That comes as he is pushing for a new legislation on energy. Is he using the crisis for political purposes? And is he handling the crisis correctly?

U.S. strategy in Eurasia and drug production in Afghanistan Posted: 17 Jun 2010 01:36 AM PDT In order to address properly, without any ideological prejudice, but with intellectual honesty, the question about the drug production in Afghanistan and the related international problems, it is necessary and useful to define (even if in broad terms) the geopolitical framework and to further clarify certain concepts, usually assumed to be understood and widely shared. Considering today's main global actors, namely the U.S., Russia, China and India, their geographic location in the two distinct areas of America and Eurasia, and, above all, their relations in terms of power and world geo-strategy, Afghanistan constitutes, together with the Caucasus and the Central Asian Republics, a large area (fig. 1), whose destabilization offers an advantage to the U.S., i.e. to the only geopolitical player external to the Eurasian context. In particular, the destabilization of this large region affords the U.S. at least three geopolitical and geo-strategic opportunities: a) its progressive penetration in the Eurasian landmass; b) the containment of Russia; c) the creation of a vulnus in the Eurasian landmass.

Potential For Genuine Reform Posted: 17 Jun 2010 01:08 AM PDT The visitor from Washington, who represented an independent democracy foundation, asked two questions to a group of Jordanian intellectuals: "Where do you see the potential for genuine reform in Jordan and the Arab region? If we were to fund any particular group which would it be? As expected, initial responses focused on the blame game. The United States is not honest in its push for democracy in the region, an Islamist media activist said. His fact-based argument made some sense. He related how the Americans talk about reform only as long as it doesn't affect their special relationships with rulers in the region.

Where's Dick Cheney on the BP Oil Gusher? Posted: 17 Jun 2010 12:49 AM PDT So where's Dick Cheney? Writing for Newsweek, Ravi Somaiya observes that in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the former vice president has remained "notably silent." What's notable, Somaiya points out, is that, "When the Obama administration, or the media, or just about anybody contradicts Dick Cheney's views on national security, he is far from shy about responding." So as a hawk for big oil, one might expect Cheney to defend his pro-petro views in the face of withering (and near-universal) opprobrium from both public and president. For eight years, of course, Cheney played dual roles as vice president of the United States and as unofficial at-large congressman for the petroleum industry. The former vice president's murky ties to Halliburton, the Houston oil services company he once ran, are well documented, and he continues to face ridicule for having allowed executives from oil companies to dictate American energy policy during the George W. Bush presidency.

A Sop? Israel 'easing' Gaza land blockade, sea routes closed Posted: 17 Jun 2010 12:37 AM PDT Israel says it's easing its land blockade of Gaza, hoping to quell international criticism over the country's attack on ships carrying aid to the region. However, the naval cordon that was at the root of the deadly raid last month, will remain in place.

The Idea of Pakistan-Myth and Reality Posted: 16 Jun 2010 10:18 PM PDT Pakistan today stands in the eye of the storm and every act of Islamic extremism can be traced to Pakistan or persons of Pakistani origin.Resultantly a battle of ideas has started in Pakistan about ascertaining the true role of Mr Jinnah and his political ideas. The political use of religion was started after 1857 by Muslim aristocracy of United Provinces of Agra and Oudh and Punjab once they saw that Muslims were under threat of being reduced to zero because of introduction of competitive examinations and European style political representation.Thus the origins of Muslim politics in India in the period 1858-1947 was safeguarding the class interests of Muslim aristocracy and middle class in Punjab and UP.

Project for Pitiless Centuries Posted: 16 Jun 2010 08:13 PM PDT 'I listen to the blackbird. A song for those who died .. Now it is still all left to do. So as not to lose sight of the goal, which is to lift the brutal blockade of Gaza. That will happen .. Beyond that goal, others are waiting. Demolishing a system of apartheid takes time. But not an eternity.' -- (Swedish Author, Henning Menkel, Mavi Marmara survivor, diary entry, 2nd June 2010.)
