Israeli Generals and Intel Officials Oppose Striking Iran

By Gareth Porter on Intifada Palestine What Jeffrey Goldberg Didn’t Report Pro-Israeli journalist Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in “The Atlantic” magazine was evidently aimed at showing why the Barack Obama administration should worry that it risks an attack by the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran in the coming months unless it takes a much more menacing line toward Iran’s nuclear programme. But the article provides new evidence that

War Against Iran as a Method of Promoting Globalism

by Dmitry Sedov for the Strategic Culture Foundation There is little doubt that the US will hit Iran after pulling its troops out of Iraq.

The US military-industrial complex and its Pentagon partners have long been preparing the war-against-Iran project, readily resorting to the most unsavory

From Goldstone to Uribe

by Stephen Lendman for the Steve Lendman Blog Despite a credible start, the fix is in. Expect justice again to be denied.

The Illusion of a ‘limited war’ against Iran

by Mahan Abedin for Informed Comment The frank admission by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and America’s highest ranking officer, that the U.S. has plans to attack Iran to prevent that country from acquiring nuclear weapons, is being treated with the utmost seriousness in political, intelligence and military circles in Tehran. This is the first time that a high-ranking U.S. official has spoken about the

Keep your eye on witnessgaza.com for the US Boat to Gaza launch videos

They said it couldn’t be done, that Americans couldn’t raise money fast enough to buy a boat to join Freedom Flotilla 2 in the fall. But never underestimate American determination in the face of Israeli intransigence and brutality. The launch of the US Boat to Gaza began last night in New York, and Free Gaza was there to participate. Listen to Col. Ann Wright’s eloquent speech, then watch our TWITTER

This Country Needs a Few Good Communists

By Chris Hedges The witch hunts against communists in the United States were used to silence socialists, anarchists, pacifists and all those who defied the abuses of capitalism. Those “anti-Red” actions were devastating blows to the political health of the country. The communists spoke the language of class war. They understood that Wall Street, along with corporations such as British Petroleum, is the enemy. They offered a broad social vision
