History Shows US is as Extremist as the Taliban

Ajaz Ashraf — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 22:27:22 +0000

The Taliban and the United States of America share an enduring passion for war and mayhem. There is, though, a difference between them—the Taliban mostly kill people of their own country, America’s victims are largely citizens of other countries. Some will likely say the US, unlike the Taliban, goes to war to promote democracy and freedom. What they ignore is […]

Manchester Bombing: The Real Security Issue is UK Govt Collusion With Islamist Extremists

Alison Banville — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 15:34:57 +0000

Headline news in the corporate media right now is the publication of Sir John Saunder’s report into security failings at the Manchester Arena on the night of the tragic May 2017 bombing. It is ‘highly likely’, states the report, that more lives could have been saved if security measures had been scrupulously adhered to. However, what no mainstream news report […]

Irwin Cotler, the White Helmets, and the Whitewashing of an Appalling Agenda

Vanessa Beeley — Sun, 04 Aug 2019 19:09:27 +0000

Cotler’s campaigns for foreign regime change or intervention almost always march in lock-step with neoconservative U.S. foreign policy. His “humanitarian” branding is but a thin veneer of hypocrisy to conceal his establishment policies — policies that almost always serve the interests of Israel.

Brian E. Muhammad — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 14:43:42 +0000

“The ICC case against Saif al-Islam Gadhafi must be seen in context of the illegal NATO assault on Libya, including the public murder of his father and the destruction of the Libyan state,” Australia-based political economist and activist Tim Anderson, told The Final Call via email. “That is a great crime that cannot be forgotten,” he added.

John Hilley — Thu, 12 Jul 2018 17:17:50 +0000

As this most memorable World Cup reaches its exciting end game, the 'noble absence' of the British establishment will have been no loss to the wider-watching world. Hopefully, it will have helped highlight their gross hypocrisy and the enduring crimes of the British state.

Libya according to the UN and the harsh reality

Thierry Meyssan — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 19:09:45 +0000

Despite the good will of some of the participants, the Paris conference for Libya did not have the desired effects. For Thierry Meyssan, this can be explained by the double language of NATO and the United Nations, who are pretending to want to stabilise the country while their actions in fact continue the Cebrowski plan for the destruction of state structures. The spectacle in Paris was steeped in a profound ignorance of the particularities of Libyan society.

Rick Sterling — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 16:09:06 +0000

Journalists are supposed to critically question, investigate the facts, and expose contradictions and falsehoods. When the media fails to do that, they have some responsibility, especially when it leads to wars, death and destruction.

US Empire Is Running The Same Script With Iran That It Ran With Libya, Syria

Caitlin Johnstone — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 07:40:45 +0000

We’ve seen it over and over again. In Libya, western interventionism was justified under the pretense of defending human rights when the goal was actually regime change. In Ukraine, empire loyalists played cheerleader for the protests in Kiev when the goal was actually regime change. And who could ever forget the poor oppressed people of Iraq who will surely greet the invaders as liberators?
