Dear friends, Check out these two most interesting radio shows: Bonnie Faulkner interviews Michel Collon on the topic ” Five Objectives of the United States In Africa”. George Kenny interviews Dr. Arjun Makhijani on the topic of the consequences of the nuclear accident in Fukishima. Really great stuff – I highly recommend both shows. Cheers! The Saker
Dear Friend of NJDC, Tonight, as we gather at Passover seders throughout the world and remember our exodus from Egypt, recite the four questions and nosh on Passover delicacies, the First Family will be doing the same. The Obama family will gather with some of their closest Jewish friends and several of the President’s most trusted Jewish advisors to celebrate the third annual White House Passover seder, which will be led by
Dear friends, A rather gruesome 4 part video has appeared on the Internet showing the alleged murder and mutilation of pro-Gaddafi soldiers by anti-Gaddafi forces. I have decided against posting the actual videos here because of their gruesome nature, but here are the links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQSMUeX_DXw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LjoSTEMjh0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMrjG9hg8Ak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkcMgPsB3Gs The person who posted this video has provided the following explanation: Pro Gaddafi Soldiers who surrendered here were executed in cold blood.
On May 27th, 2007 I wrote a piece entitled “Rudolph Giuliani – the face of American Fascism?” in which I described what I saw as a steady a rapid penetration of what I believed to be a fascist mindset in the US society. This morning my son emailed me two video of some guy called Grady Warren, apparently a supporter of the Tea Party. Please take a look at them:
by Eric Walberg: Russia has always looked on at events in the Middle East from afar, shut out of the action, and remains an onlooker today, absorbed by its own problems. Eric Walberg looks at the implications for Russia of the revolutions and no-so-revolutions sweeping the Middle East Russian politics is in turmoil as a result of the uprisings in the Arab world, in particular the Egyptian revolution. Those fed
The Star reports: The five BRICS nations took another step towards cementing their global influence on Thursday, calling for a broad-based international reserve currency system “providing stability and certainty”. In a statement released at a summit on the southern island of Hainan, the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa said the recent financial crisis had exposed the inadequacies and deficiencies of the current monetary order, which has
by Israel Shamir for Israelshamir.net The Arab Rebellion has polarized Russia: some dream that the Spirit of Tahrir will visit Moscow, even as others hope for a NATO crusade to spread Western values all the way to the Volga; yet a third lot prays fervently that nothing will change, now or ever. The recent Russian abstention in the UN Security Council has split the elites and made the growing rift
To my absolute dismay, what is happening with Libya is a complete remake of what happened in Bosnia. A quasi-instantaneous armed insurrection, followed by a civil war, followed by a no-fly zone, followed by a peace plan accepted by the “bad guys” and rejected by the “good guys” and now, it appears, followed by the very same Europeans seriously considering sending in “peacekeeping” troops. They even (re-)created a NATO kangaroo
Reuters reports: Sudan said Sunday that remnants of a missile used in a mysterious attack that killed two people on April 5 proved that Israel carried out the strike. Israel has declined to comment on the incident, which mirrored a similar attack on Sudan’s east in 2009 for which it neither admitted nor denied responsibility. A car carrying two Sudanese nationals was targeted near Port Sudan’s airport. “The definitive proof
Dear friends, My wife is back at home, she is doing well, glory to God for His infinite mercy! To be honest, last Tuesday was the worst day of my life as the list of really bad diagnoses for her symptoms is rather long one, and the one of (comparatively) “good” diagnoses is rather short. By God’s mercy and your prayers, my wife’s ailment turned out to be rather easy
Dear friends, I apologize for the lack of activity on this blog over the past couple of days. My wife was taken to the local hospital due to a bleeding ulcer which triggered a severe anemia. She is now doing well, but we had a pretty tough couple of days with hardly any sleep and we now badly need some rest. I hope to be back to a normal schedule
There is a lot of nonsense in the media about what is going on in Libya and what the so-called “no-fly zone” is achieving. I would like to make a few short comments to clarify some of the misconceptions about what is taking place. The ‘no-fly’ zone is, of course, not a no-fly zone. At least not primarily. We have all seen how lame and inept Gaddafi’s air force is
It is my contention that spurious accusations of copyright infringement can be used to suppress videos that are not liked, in certain circles, and that YouTube’s reporting procedure favours the accuser over the accused, who is not even given the minimum amount of information necessary to be able to challenge any claim, let alone a false one.

Commentary: listening to these experts on Russia Today makes me wonder whether the western corporate media is, yet again, engaging in another cover-up to protect its corporate and political bosses. UPDATE: To get a good idea of the real extend of the damage suffered by the Fukushima nuclear plant please click here for some high resolution overhead pictures.
Dear Sirs, Re: Spurious Copyright Claim YouTube Account: http://www.youtube.com/user/alawson911 I have just received the following notice: We have disabled the following material as a result of a third-party notification from James Allan Khan claiming that this material is infringing: Holocaust, Hate Speech & Were the Germans so Stupid? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gycNMf0xAc I think that this is a spurious action; an attempt to infringe my right to freedom of speech and expression under
Two documents suggest northeast Libya, centre of rebellion, is an al-Qaeda hotspot By Alexander Cockburn for The First Post reports: The war on Libya now being waged by the US, Britain and France must surely rank as one of the stupidest martial enterprises, smaller in scale to be sure, since Napoleon took it into his head to invade Russia in 1812. Let’s start with the fierce hand-to-hand combat between members
Special Comment By Keith Olbermann
Note: I am publishing this interview “for your information”, as an interesting discussion. I am neither endorsing nor denouncing the views of Mohammed Hassan. I will say that Michel Collon is one of the very best reporters in Europe for whom I have a great deal of respect. The Saker Investig’Action reports: Over the last three weeks there have been confrontations between troops loyal to Colonel Gaddafi and opposition forces based
