Wednesday, October 22, 2014Canada, At War For 13 Years, Shocked that "A Terrorist" Attacked Its Soldiers A country doesn't get to run around for years wallowing in war glory, invading, rendering and bombing others, without the risk of having violence brought back to it. Rather than being baffling or shocking, that reaction is completely natural and predictable. The only surprising thing about any of it is that it doesn't happen more often.
Saturday, October 18, 2014What "Democracy" Really Means in U.S. and New York Times Jargon: Latin America Edition "Tyranny" means "opposing the U.S. agenda" and "refusing U.S. commands," no matter how fair and free the elections are that empower the government. The most tyrannical regimes are celebrated as long as they remain subservient, while the most popular and democratic governments are condemned as despots to the extent that they exercise independence.
Wednesday, October 15, 2014UN Report Finds Mass Surveillance Violates International Treaties And Privacy Rights The United Nations' top official for counter-terrorism and human rights (known as the "Special Rapporteur") issued a formal report to the U.N. General Assembly that condemns mass electronic surveillance as a clear violation of core privacy rights guaranteed by multiple treaties and conventions.
Friday, October 10, 2014Edward Snowden's Girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, Moved to Moscow to Live With Him Snowden not only changed how the world thinks about a number of profoundly important political issues by defying its most powerful government, but then was able to build a happy, healthy and fulfilling life for himself. And if he can do that, so can other whistleblowers, which is precisely why so much effort has been devoted to depicting him in all sorts of false lights.
Tuesday, October 7, 2014Key Democrats, Led By Hillary Clinton, Leave No Doubt That Endless War Is Official U.S. Doctrine The purpose of the War on Terror -- it was designed from the start to be endless. Both Bush and Obama officials have explicitly said that the war will last at least a generation. The nature of the "war," and the theories that have accompanied it, is that it has no discernible enemy and no identifiable limits.
Saturday, October 4, 2014After Feigning Love For Egyptian Democracy, U.S. Back To Openly Supporting Tyranny That's what made the U.S. media coverage of the Arab Spring generally and Tarhir specifically such an astounding feat of propaganda: it successfully let Americans feel good about cheering for democracy in the region while ignoring their government's central role in suppressing it for decades.
Monday, September 29, 2014The Fake Terror Threat Used to Justify Bombing Syria As the Obama Administration prepared to bomb Syria without congressional or U.N. authorization, it faced two problems-- the difficulty of sustaining public support for a new years-long war against ISIS, and the lack of legal justification for launching a new bombing campaign with no viable claim of self-defense or U.N. approval.
Thursday, September 25, 2014How Former Treasury Officials And The UAE Are Manipulating American Journalists The key principals of Camstoll have hard-core neoconservative backgrounds. Here they are working hand in hand with neocon journalists to publicly trash a new enemy of Israel, in service of the agenda of Gulf dictators. This is the bizarre neocon/Israel/Gulf-dictator coalition now driving not only U.S. policy but, increasingly, U.S. discourse as well.
Tuesday, September 23, 2014Syria Becomes The 7th Predominantly Muslim Country Bombed By 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate t was just over a year ago that Obama officials were insisting that bombing and attacking Assad was a moral and strategic imperative. Instead, Obama is now bombing Assad's enemies while politely informing his regime of its targets in advance. It seems irrelevant on whom the U.S. wages war; what matters it that it be at war, always and forever.
Tuesday, September 9, 2014Americans Now Fear ISIS Sleeper Cells Are Living In The U.S., Overwhelmingly Support Military Action In terms of crazed irrationality, how far away from false belief is the current fear on the part of Americans that there are ISIS sleeper cells "living in the United States"? It's as though ISIS and the U.S. media and political class worked in perfect unison to achieve the same goal here when it comes to American public opinion: fully terrorize them.
Thursday, August 28, 2014Elizabeth Warren finally speaks on Israel/Gaza, sounds like Netanyahu In the last week, Israel deliberately destroyed an entire large residential apartment building after giving its residents less than an hour to vacate, leaving more than 40 families homeless, and also destroyed a seven-story office building and two-story shopping center. Warren says, "I believe Israel has a right, at that point, to defend itself." Such carnage is the "last thing Israel wants."
Wednesday, August 27, 2014The Fun of Empire: Fighting on All Sides of a War in Syria Now the Obama administration and American political class is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the failed "Bomb Assad!" campaign by starting a new campaign to bomb those fighting against Assad -- the very same side the U.S. has been arming over the last two years.
Saturday, August 23, 2014Should Twitter, Facebook and Google Executives be the Arbiters of What We See and Read? The much more relevant question is whether you really want these companies' managers to be making such consequential decisions about what billions of people around the world can -- and cannot -- see, hear, read, watch and learn.
Thursday, August 14, 2014The Militarization of U.S. Police: Finally Dragged Into the Light by the Horrors of Ferguson Americans are now so accustomed to seeing police officers decked in camouflage and Robocop-style costumes, riding in armored vehicles and carrying automatic weapons first introduced during the U.S. occupation of Baghdad, that it has become normalized.
Monday, August 4, 2014Cash, Weapons and Surveillance: the U.S. is a Key Party to Every Israeli Attack Legal or not, the NSA's extensive, multi-level cooperation with Israeli military and intelligence agencies is part of a broader American policy that actively supports and enables Israeli aggression and militarism. Every Israeli action in Gaza has U.S. fingerprints all over it.
Tuesday, July 29, 2014Terrorism in the Israeli Attack on Gaza "Terrorism" is, and from the start was designed to be, almost entirely devoid of discernible meaning. It's a fear-mongering slogan, lacking any consistent application, intended to end rational debate and justify virtually any conduct by those who apply the term. But to the extent it means anything beyond that, it typically refers to the killing of civilians as a means of furthering political or military goals.
Saturday, July 26, 2014The NSA's New Partner in Spying: Saudi Arabia's Brutal State Police U.S. support for the Saudi regime is long-standing. One secret 2007 NSA memo lists Saudi Arabia as one of four countries where the U.S. "has [an] interest in regime continuity." The Saudi Ministry of Defense also relies on the NSA for help with "signals analysis equipment upgrades, decryption capabilities and advanced training on a wide range of topics."
Tuesday, July 22, 2014Netanyahu's "Telegenically Dead" Comment Is Grotesque but Not Original American journalism is frequently criticized with great justification, but there are a number of American journalists in Gaza, along with non-western ones, in order to tell the world about what is happening there. That reporting is incredibly brave and difficult, and those who are doing it merit the highest respect.
Thursday, July 17, 2014NBC News Pulls Veteran Reporter from Gaza After Witnessing Israeli Attack on Children Ayman Mohyeldin, the NBC News correspondent who personally witnessed yesterday's killing by Israel of four Palestinian boys on a Gazan beach and who has received widespread praise for his brave and innovative coverage of the conflict, has been told by NBC executives to leave Gaza immediately. Gazans may have no way out of Gaza, but at this point, Mohyeldin seems to have no way back in.
Wednesday, July 16, 2014Hacking Online Polls and Other Ways British Spies Seek to Control the Internet The secretive British spy agency GCHQ has developed covert tools to seed the internet with false information, including the ability to manipulate the results of online polls, artificially inflate pageview counts on web sites, "amplif[y]" sanctioned messages on YouTube, and censor video content judged to be "extremist."
