Israel should be expected to commit to increasingly desperate acts to provoke Syria and Iran - as its leadership represent directly corporate-financier interests abroad, not the Israeli people, or their best interests (including peace and even survival). For the people of Israel, they must realize that their leadership indeed does not represent them or their best interests and is able, willing, and even eager to spend their lives and fortunes in the service of foreign, corporate-financier interests and global hegemony. http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2013/01/israeli-attack-desperate-bid-to-save.htmlIsrael should be expected to commit to increasingly desperate acts to provoke Syria... more

There’s only one answer: Stop inventing enemies, whom we proceed to dehumanize. Once we begin the dehumanization process, we lose — not just figuratively, but literally, and in almost incalculable ways. Philip Zimbardo coined the term “the Lucifer Effect” to describe the sadistic corruption that consumes good-hearted men and women when they are given overwhelming power over others. We wage war thinking we can control the Lucifer Effect. We’re always wrong. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/01/31There’s only one answer: Stop inventing enemies, whom we proceed to dehumanize.... more

France’s military intervention into Mali may at first glance appear to have little to do with the U.S. “pivot” to Asia. But as a French mission supposedly meant to bolster a U.N. sanctioned and African-led intervention has gone from “a question of weeks” to “the total re-conquest of Mali,” what may have begun as a French affair has now become a Western intervention. And this in turn has drawn wider strategic interests into the conflict. Strategic interests, it is becoming clearer, shaped by the imperatives of the U.S. Asia pivot. http://www.globalresearch.ca/hidden-agenda-behind-americas-war-on-africa-containing-china-by-fighting-al-qaeda/5320939France’s military intervention into Mali may at first glance appear to have... more

The result of this policy of state terrorism has been a wretched, criminal slaughter of children -- a slaughter that has been hidden from view, and denied wholesale by the Pentagon and the president. Over 3000 people have been killed, the vast majority of them non-combatant "collateral damage" deaths. Over 172 of these have reportedly been children. http://thiscantbehappening.net/node/1540The result of this policy of state terrorism has been a wretched, criminal slaughter... more

Does anyone think that Hagel, as a future subordinate of a president who orders drone strikes, authorized the Afghanistan surge and claims the power to be judge, jury and executioner of US citizens, will meaningfully alter the course of the US National Security State? http://truthaholics.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/chuck-hagel-and-the-american-empire/Does anyone think that Hagel, as a future subordinate of a president who orders drone... more

Having visited Auschwitz twice - once with my family and once with local schools - I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza. http://salem-news.com/articles/january272013/ward-israel-bc.phpHaving visited Auschwitz twice - once with my family and once with local schools - I... more

A great collaboration over the last four years. That's how US President Barack Obama described his first term in office with Hillary Clinton - who's now leaving the post of Secretary of State. Both appeared in a joint televised interview, as America's top diplomat prepares to step down. Responding to the Obama-Clinton talk, Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar says the destabilization of North Africa will only get worse. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33760.htmA great collaboration over the last four years.
