Roger Westmoreland — Sat, 08 Aug 2020 18:36:57 +0000

‘Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acts of premeditated mass murder unleashing a weapon of intrinsic criminality. It was justified by lies that form the bedrock of 21st century U.S. war propaganda‘ – John Pilger Seventy five years ago this week, the sickest dregs of humanity carried out a planned experiment on human flesh. The sociopathic ambitions of the White House and the […]

The Gulf of Credibility

Craig Murray — Sun, 16 Jun 2019 08:18:01 +0000

I really cannot begin to fathom how stupid you would have to be to believe that Iran would attack a Japanese oil tanker at the very moment that the Japanese Prime Minister was sitting down to friendly, US-disapproved talks in Tehran on economic cooperation that can help Iran survive the effects of US economic sanctions. The Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous was […]

The Central Bank Power Shift from West to East, Game of Thrones Style

Nomi Prins — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:53:00 +0000

The Fed clings to status quo. Other central banks are vying to knock it down, or at least loosen its grip on them. But the Fed behaves as if it has no idea there are other powerful central banks that want to grab and harness its power. It carries on refusing to acknowledge that there may come a time, sooner rather than later, where its power is attacked.

Silencing America as It Prepares for War

John Pilger — Sat, 28 May 2016 00:53:43 +0000

The 2016 election campaign is remarkable not only for the rise of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders but also for the resilience of an enduring silence about a murderous self-bestowed divinity. A third of the members of the United Nations have felt Washington’s boot, overturning governments, subverting democracy, imposing blockades and boycotts. Most of the presidents responsible have been liberal – Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama.

Chalmers Johnson — Fri, 27 May 2016 08:36:13 +0000

As RT reports: ‘thousands protested the rape and murder of a young Japanese woman by a former Marine on the eve of President Barack Obama’s visit.’ But for some vital context on what has led to this this anger, we publish a piece from Asia Times: It all seemed deadly familiar: an adult, 38-year-old US Marine sergeant accused by the […]

Obama Does Hiroshima

Simon Wood — Fri, 27 May 2016 07:22:44 +0000

“He started suffering nosebleeds about a week after the bombing. They called a doctor, and my aunt put a wash basin by his side and stayed up all night taking care of him. But the bleeding from his gums and nose grew worse, and he finally died on the 22nd. Before he breathed his last, he complained that his stomach […]

Is the U.S heading towards military conflict in the South China Sea?

Daniel Margrain — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 04:37:19 +0000

Much has been made about how the U.S wants to “cooperate” with China and to maintain friendly relations. But at the same time, President Obama proposes to undermine bi-lateral relations in the region while China wants to enhance them on an individual basis in much the same way that it would with any other country outside the region.

The Final Leaked TPP Text is All That We Feared

Jeremy Malcolm — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 19:40:23 +0000

If you look for provisions in the TPP that actually afford new benefits to users, rather than to large, rights-holding corporations, you will look in vain. The TPP is the archetype of an agreement that exists only for the benefit of the entitled, politically powerfully lobbyists who have pushed it through to completion over the last eight years.

America’s Barbaric Logic of Hiroshima 70 Years On

jimmy — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:47:43 +0000

Even if we accept that there was a plausible military imperative to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki – to bring about a swift defeat of Japan and thus an end to the Pacific War – the horror of civilian death toll from those two no-warning aerial attacks places a disturbing question over the supposed ends justifying the means.
