The Washington – “Moderate Islam” Alliance: Containing Rebellion Defending Empire

by James Petras December 16, 2011

The West have agreed to a kind of “power-sharing’ with Islamist parties. The Islamists would be responsible for imposing orthodox economic policies and re-establishing ‘order’ in partnership with pro-multinational bank economists and pro US-EU generals and security officials. In exchange the Islamists could take certain ministries, appoint their members, finance electoral clientele among the poor and push their ‘moderate’ religious, social and cultural agenda.

9/11: A conspiracy beyond theory

by Paul J. Balles August 22, 2011

What really happened on 9/11 still hasn’t filtered through the minds of enough of the public. They still believe that Bin Laden was responsible and that the hijackers were Saudis who suddenly came out of a genie bottle as well-trained test pilots.

The West Is Terrified of Arabic Democracies

by SR Editor June 24, 2011

Both Bush and Obama are terrified of the Arab spring. And there is a very sensible reason for that. They don’t want democracies in the Arab world. If Arab public opinion had any influence on policy, the US and Britain had been tossed out of the Middle East. That’s why they are terrified of democracies in the region.

The Palestinian Authority’s historic mistake – and opportunity

by SR Editor June 20, 2011

Jeff Halper calls on Palestinian Authority leaders, foremost Mahmoud Abbas, to honour their historic national responsibility, mobilize the immense resources of Palestinian and world civil society and push for UN recognition of Palestinian independence in September “as the head of a national unity government with the support of the world’s peoples, Mandela-like” and thereby “decisively change the course of events forever”.

Changing cultures

by Paul J. Balles June 20, 2011

Different cultures think differently. If you believe that doesn’t matter, try crossing a road in England or Australia if you come from America or the Middle East.

You’ll be looking left when you should be looking right as you begin to cross. If you automatically look in the wrong direction, you’ll be lucky not to get run over.

Israel Again and Again Slaps a Cowardly America

by Mohamed Khodr June 1, 2011

And so continues the illegal occupations of America and Palestine. No, America, you are not the land of the free, home of the brave. You are not the greatest nation on earth. You are not the superpower you proclaim. You are not the beacon of freedom, equality, and liberty to all. You are not the Promised Land. You are not the democracy of the First Amendment where there is Freedom of Speech, of the Press, of Religion, of freedom to petition and assemble. Your President is not the leader of the free world. You do not have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Thus, what will history record of whom and what you are?
