  The Visegrad Bloc

  27.05.2011 | 17:00 | Vladislav GULEVICH (Ukraine)
  The countries of the Visegrad Group (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic) on the 12th of May announced their intention to create a new military bloc, which by the year 2016 might turn into a full-fledged organization, part of its functions acquired from NATO. Starting from 2013 the Visegrad Group will be taking part in NATO-led Response Force military drills… Countries of the new military bloc stretch out form the Baltic coast to Romania`s borders…

  The New Face Of War
  “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges”
  By Conn Hallinan
  The assassination of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden did more than knock off America’s Public Enemy Number One, it formalized a new kind of warfare, where sovereignty is irrelevant, armies tangential, and decisions are secret.

  URUK Net Newsletter 26 May 2011 Part 1: Corrie lawyers expose army smear campaign against ISM 

  26 May 2011 — URUK Net

  Welcome to the Violent World of Mr. Hopey Changey
  By John Pilger
  May 26, 2011 – …The Nato attack on Libya, with the UN Security Council assigned to mandate a bogus “no fly zone” to “protect civilians”, is strikingly similar to the final destruction of Yugoslavia in 1999. There was no UN cover for the bombing of Serbia and the “rescue” of Kosovo, yet the propaganda echoes today. Like Slobodan Milosevic, Muammar Gaddafi is a “new Hitler”, plotting “genocide” against his people. There is no evidence of this, as there was no genocide in Kosovo. In Libya there is a tribal civil war; and the armed uprising against Gaddafi has long been appropriated by the Americans, French and British, their planes attacking residential Tripoli with uranium-tipped missiles and the submarine HMS Triumph firing Tomahawk missiles, a repeat of the “shock and awe” in Iraq that left thousands of civilians dead and maimed. As in Iraq, the victims, which include countless incinerated Libyan army conscripts, are media unpeople…

  Welcome to the Violent World of Mr. Hopey Changey By John Pilger 

  26 May 2011 — John Pilger

  May 26, 2011 — When Britain lost control of Egypt in 1956, Prime Minister Anthony Eden said he wanted the nationalist president Gamal Abdel Nasser:

  ‘destroyed … murdered … I don’t give a damn if there’s anarchy and chaos in Egypt’. Those insolent Arabs, Winston Churchill had urged in 1951, should be driven ‘into the gutter from which they should never have emerged’.

  Bad News From The BBC – Part 2: The ‘John Motson Approach To Analysing News’ 

  27 May, 2011 — Media Lens

  Between 17-19 May, we had a lengthy exchange of emails with BBC Middle East Bureau Chief, Paul Danahar. It began innocuously enough, but Danahar gradually revealed that he had little intention of sincerely addressing the issues put to him, and the exchange ended with increasingly odd burblings from the BBC’s senior Jerusalem-based journalist (the full exchange is archived here in our forum).

  Syria, Libya, and Russia’s Retreat from “Reset” By M K Bhadrakumar 

  26 May 2011 — MRZine – Asia Times

  The last thing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev did before departing for France to attend this week’s Group of Eight summit meeting in Deauville was place a call to Damascus.

  Prima facie, one may think the call made sense, since, as Reuters reported, “Syria’s crackdown on pro-democracy protests” is going to be high on the agenda of the summit.  But Medvedev had other thoughts on his mind; he wanted to ostentatiously pick up the thread from his previous conversation with his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad on April 6.

  NATO goes Kosovo in Libya
  By Victor Kotsev
  May 25, 2011 – … To go back to the Kosovo parallel, we should remember, with all due bitterness, that Serbia is a European country that is populated by white people. Despite that Eastern-Europeans are still often considered to be second-class Europeans, all this matters in the minds of European publics, and thus also in the minds of European decision-makers. In Kosovo, NATO was willing to bend its demands in order to accommodate a Milosevic withdrawal from the province, and to avoid a ground campaign. Even so, the war was enormously costly in terms of civilian life. Libya, on the other hand, is in Africa, and is populated by people whose immigration to Europe has caused a wave of racism and anti-immigration sentiments. Though nobody would admit it, their lives are almost certainly cheaper in the minds of Western politicians than are Serbian and Albanian lives. Thus, in Libya we could expect not just a Kosovo, but also the continuation that never materialized in Kosovo; a Kosovo on steroids.

  Waiting for Obama is Like Waiting for Godot
  Joharah Baker
  May 24, 2011 – If this week’s speeches by US President Barack Obama have taught the Palestinians anything, it is that we should never sit around waiting for America to save us. While the United States will always remain a major player in any peace agreement between us and Israel, it is high time we realized that it will never deliver with an even hand. The two consecutive speeches by the US president – first the policy speech made on May 19 and then his address to AIPAC on May 22 – produced nothing groundbreaking, at least for the Palestinians…

  9/11 AND AMERICA’S “WAR ON TERRORISM”By Prof Michel Chossudovsky 

  26 May 2011 — Global Research

  PREFACE. Read the critical research on 9/11 in this important book

  The livelihood of millions of people throughout the World is at stake. It is my sincere hope that the truth will prevail and that the understanding provided in this detailed study will serve the cause of World peace. This objective, however, can only be reached by revealing the falsehoods behind America’s “War on Terrorism” and questioning the legitimacy of the main political and military actors responsible for extensive war crimes.
