Armenian holocaust not recognised by Bush

President George W Bush has urged US legislators not to pass a resolution declaring the massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire to be genocide.  “This resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings,” he said hours before a vote by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Such a move, already taken by [...]

War on terror – The case of impotence

Fox News presented their viewers another feel-good report. Frances Townsend told “FOX News Sunday”, two weeks ago,  that the tape from bin Laden was made recently, possibly in the last several months. While the intelligence community is still evaluating the tape to determine the terror leader’s health, possible whereabouts and other details, it does not [...]

War hero John Bolton calls for war with Iran

John Bolton barks again.
Bolton, one of the signatory of infamous Project for a New American Century and accomplished military expert and  war “hero” who, while supporting Vietnam war, declined to enter combat duty enlisting in the National Guard to attend a  law school, plays his “ neocon blues” for the UK audience.

John Bolton: ‘I think we [...]

Iraq war – the truth exposed

There have been many theories and guesses on why Bush & Co decided to stir the Middle East, invade Iraq, then threaten Syria and Iran. All the speculations feed the discussions, dominate the news and thrive as a subject all over the blogosphere. And yet, only a detailed and painstaking analysis of the events allowed [...]

Blackwater – black deeds for rent

  Blackwater USA’s mercenary mission in Iraq is very much in the news this week, and rightly so. The private military contractor’s war-for-profit program, which has been so brilliantly exposed by Jeremy Scahill, may finally get a measure of the official scrutiny it merits as the corporation scrambles to undo the revocation by the Iraqi [...]

What Freedom of Speech? Part IV

Why the blackout? For one thing, reporting on these groups is not easy. AIPAC’s power makes potential sources reluctant to discuss the organization on the record, and employees who leave it usually sign pledges of silence. AIPAC officials themselves rarely give interviews, and the organization even resists divulging its board of directors. Journalists, meanwhile, are [...]

Greenspan – a delayed reaction

Alan Greenspan has published his memoir where he admits the Iraq bloody adventure is a war for the resouces, the oil. Great, I say, more hard proof is needed to expose this sick administration. My question though is why now? Why not in 2002 or 2003? If the truth was revealed then preventing this atrocity perhaps more [...]

Primum non nocere – doctors and torture. Part I

On July 2004 The New England Journal of Medicine, arguably the most prestigious medical journal in this country, presented an article “Doctors and Torture. Under normal circumstances this article should have provoked a heavy stream of media response, yet, our gutless news organizations quietly turned its attention to the victorious progress of our occupation of [...]

Eye on Iran. The blind one…

The fear and disinformation campaign is on. The recent media reports must remind the irresponsible headlines from early 2003, in the months and weeks leading to US assault on sovereign Iraq. The American public, as in 2003, is deprived, by cowardly compliant news organizations, of information available to the rest of the world. It is [...]

Iran – the road to disaster

Bush and Co. intend to plunge us deeper into the Middle East tragedy by increasing their belligerence towards Iran.  I fear that what we are seeing now is an administration readiness for a wider war in the region.
 If we compare the present situation that lead up to the war in Iraq, we can assume that the war plans [...]
