A much quoted article of the Moscow Times says the following: Russia is preparing to send Marines to defend its naval base in Syria amid continued unrest in the Arab state, Interfax reported Monday, citing a Navy source. The information confirms reports in Russian and Western media Friday. No, in fact it does not, as shown by the very next sentence: Two large troop transport vessels and a rescue tugboat
Check out the excellent analysis Paul Jay and his guests offer us:
The way I see it the results of the vote in Greece are a huge, tectonic *disaster*. When I heard of these results, my first thoughts were exactly like Carlo’s: “The Greeks are either crazy, or there was severe fraud in the elections“. Indeed, how anybody in their right mind could ever not vote for Syriza and the only person with a clear concept for a solution to the Greek
Press TV recently interviewed Webster Tarpley in a report Press TV entitled Russia will confront any US-led attack on Syria. In that interview, Tarpley mentioned an article in the rather reputable Russian newspaper Nezavisimaia Gazeta which, according to Tarpley, mentioned the preparation of one Motor-Rifle Division, one Airborne Division and one Spetsnaz Brigade for this operation, I looked up the article and I found it (here). Tarpley made it sound
As promised, here is a short report on what took place today in Moscow. First, let’s see what the BBC had to say: The caption is priceless!! Turns out that some heroic freedom fighter & “activist” called Katz is *secretly* filming the protest to get his own crowd count. I did not find the count, but I am sure that it must run in the millions. But, seriously, is the
You probably have already seen the horrified news reports in the Western corporate media about the “crackdown” on Russian “dissidents” in Moscow. If not, check this one by AP for a more sober tone. What is really taking place? Putin = Stalin Is Russian really going back to Stalin’s year 1937 as the local tweeter-freedom-fighters have been posting? Not quite. What happened is this. The authorities were investigating the violent
They did it again. This time it is Spain – or rather, Spanish banks – which are getting a 100 billion Euros bailout in exchange for a wide and comphensive program of austerity measures by, no, not the Spanish banks, but the Spanish people. You got to admire the brazen arrogance of this system. First, the banks screw the people, then the international plutocracy makes it a condition to further
First, when I saw the RT news item announcing that “Moscow bans gay pride for century ahead” I went “no way!” and had the giggles thinking of how the doubleplusgoodthinking Lefties in the West would cry in outrage if such a decision had really been taken. Then I saw an outraged statement by Human Rights First confirming that the folks on Moscow had really taken such a decision. Now some
I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In the Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World. Peace be on our Master and Prophet – The Seal of Prophets – Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and his chaste and pure Household, chosen companions and on all prophets and messengers. Dear audience! Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
This masterpiece was published by The Guardian: I wish I could say that this throws us all back to the Cold War, and basically repeat the words Medvedev recently address to that drooling idiot Romney: “As to ideological cliches, I have already spoken on the subject. I always get very cautious when I see a country resort to phrasings such as “number one enemy.” It is very reminiscent of Hollywood
Dear friends, I urge you all to listen to this amazing, truly visionary, presentation by Eben Moglen, one of the most knowledgeable and savvy defenders of freedom of our times. To be honest, I find his arguments very disturbing, because he brilliantly shows that our society and our technology are truly headed in the wrong way, and because I find it very believe that this can be stopped. But maybe

Here are, according to Haaretz, some of the highlights of his schedule: Earlier on Tuesday, President Obama dropped by a meeting between the heads of the Conservative Jewish community and White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew. According to a statement later released, Obama thanked the leaders for their work on improving communities around the country and reiterated his unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security and the steps his Administration has

In an interview with Russia Today Israel’s Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor has called Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, the “Axis of Unholy Lands”: Syria is the only Arab country that is ally with Iran. The axis that was built between Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, the Unholy Lands, should I call it. This is a very bad and dangerous axis against us and all the Arab countries. In that respect this
Obama just handed out 13 Medals of Freedom. Let’s remember here what this medal is: The Medal of Freedom may be awarded “to any person, not hereinafter specifically excluded, who, on or after December 7, 1941, has performed a meritorious act or service which has aided the United States in the prosecution of a war against an enemy or enemies and for which an award of another United States medal
Check out this video posted on Live Leak: On Live Leak this video is entitled “High Value Target (HVT) gets taken out”. What do you see? I see an unarmed civilian running away. Maybe it is indeed a terrorist, or some insurgency leader, but he is not dressed in any battle fatigue, nor does he appear to be armed. In fact, let’s assume that he is some kind of “High
The Nazis used all sorts of really cool names to describe themselves: Herrenvolk (master race), Übermenschen (literally “overmen” or even “supermen” as opposed to “Christian”) or Christlichen Adel Deutscher Nation (Christian noble German nation). But my all-time favorite is Kulturträger (culture bearer). Yes, the political movement which was born in refined atmosphere of German beer breweries and whose top leaders loved to repeat the motto “whenever I hear the word
