Will peace break out at last? Much hope has been sparked by the coming resumption of peace talks between the National Democratic Front (NDF) and the Aquino government. Undoubtedly, this optimism stems from the widespread public perception that President Benigno Aquino III is genuinely interested in ending the four-decade-long war between the NDF and the Philippine government.

Richard Holbrooke, the top U.S. Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, died after emergency heart surgery at the age of 69. His last words, reported by family members and his surgeon before he underwent surgery were: "You have to stop this war in Afghanistan".

These dying words were reported in his obituary in the Washington Post and on major US networks and international news agencies. So why did big Canadian media outlets not event make mention of this in their reports on his death ?

Bio : Ray McGovern is a retired CIA officer. McGovern was employed under seven US presidents for over 27 years, presenting the morning intelligence briefings at the White House under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

It's a canard. And I'm an intelligence officer, or I used to be, okay? I was for 27 years. Sometimes we take painstaking efforts to get something right. And to my great relief, somebody did that in 2007, and he came to the conclusion that Iran stopped working on a nuclear weapon in the fall of 2003. [...]

[...] I'm sorry, but I don't do faith-based intelligence. I do evidentiary intelligence. [...] more than 16 US intelligence agencies who unanimously decided, as they put it, "with great confidence," in quotes, that Iran had stopped working on a nuclear weapon at the end of 2003 and had not resumed work. Now, that was three years ago, okay? The story proceeds here. Who didn't like that? Well, President Bush really didn't like that; and Netanyahu and the Israelis, Olmert at the time, they were really very furious. [...]

Now, what was all this about? Well, Cheney and Bush were about to do that in the following spring. Cheney admits it. He says, you know, I was not in the majority here, and I was overruled finally, but, yeah, we were going to go after Iran, okay? So he's proud of that. So is it different now? No, it's not different now. That's really what gets my back up. The New York Times can put full pages on the Iranian part of the WikiLeaks thing, and it means nothing [...]

Ms. Stronach,

Recently you were honured by the Jewish National Fund for helping to raise funds for the building of settlements in the Negev. (see news article) Those settlements are being built on land stolen from the Bedouin who are being driven off their land as the Palestinians have been for the past sixty-two years. I was recently in Israel and in the Palestinian territories and I would like to tell you about the Bedouin village of Al-Arakib which has now been destroyed for a seventh time in a period of four months. The Israelis come in, bulldoze the village, then the Bedouin come back and rebuild. This is what is happening in the Negev by way of the Jewish National Fund, with your help. That makes you an accomplice to ethnic-cleansing.

The stuck pigs are squealing. To shift the onus from the U.S. State Department, Hillary Clinton paints WikiLeaks release of the diplomatic cables as an attack on the international community. To reveal truth is equivalent, in the eyes of the U.S. government, to an attack on the world.

It is WikiLeaks fault that all those U.S. diplomats wrote a quarter of a million undiplomatic messages about Americas allies, a.k.a. puppet states. It is also WikiLeaks fault that a member of the U.S. government could no longer stomach the cynical ways in which the U.S. government manipulates foreign governments to serve, not their own people, but American interests, and delivered the incriminating evidence to WikiLeaks.

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY RICHARD SPENCER IN THE TELEGRAPH

"All bizarre and nonsensical conspiracy theory of course."

It is not at all clear why you should say that. The "of course" only emphasizes the lack of analytical basis for your total dismissal.

Especially when one considers that in the end you yourself suggest a theme to the material.

Le 17 février 2010, le secrétaire à la Défense Robert Gates a approuvé, dans une note adressée au chef du Commandement Central David Petraeus, le nouveau positionnement de la mission américaine en Irak. Il a souligné que « l'Opération Iraqi Freedom », le nom militaire américain pour l'invasion de 2003 et l'occupation de ce pays pendant sept ans, « a pris fin et nos forces opèrent dans le cadre d'une nouvelle mission. » Six mois plus tard, le 19 août, les dernières brigades américaines de 'combat' avaient franchi la frontière irakienne pour entrer au Koweït, et douze jours après, c'est à dire plus de sept ans après que le président Bush ait fait une annonce similaire, le président Obama annonçait « la fin de notre mission de combat en Irak ».

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

L’on n’a de cesse de nous répéter que Wikileaks est le 11 septembre de la diplomatie. Ce qu’il faut en conclure, c’est que Wikileaks appartient tout autant à la CIA que le 11 septembre. Quoi de mieux quand on passe pour un menteur, comme c’est le cas de l’impérialisme américain et de son organe la CIA, que de se créer de toute pièce un faux ennemi pour lui faire dire ce qu’on veut que tout le monde croit. Et tout le monde le croira d’autant plus que ce prétendu ennemi prétendra révéler ce qu’on voulait soit-disant garder secret.

Anti-apartheid activists confronted by aggressive Zionists in Montreal

Voici la correspondance que nous avons eue avec un contact habitant hors de Montréal. La discussion traite de sujets généraux comme la révolution, l’organisation du prolétariat ou encore le capitalisme. Évidemment, il y a plusieurs divergences entre nous sur de nombreux sujets. Mais, cette correspondance reste une très bonne discussion fraternelle entre un prolétaire en recherche de voie révolutionnaire et un noyau d’avant-garde communiste. Nous ne pouvons qu’espérer que ce type de discussion se multiplie au sein de la classe ouvrière. Notre réponse en rouge suit chaque paragraphe du texte de notre contact.
