Syria may become another Iraq – author — RT
7 June 2011 — RT
France and Britain are building the diplomatic pressure against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying he has lost his legitimacy. They are calling for a special UN resolution on Syria, which Russia strongly opposes. Author Jean Bricmont says that what France and Britain are doing is ‘crazy.’
‘They haven’t finished the war with Libya, which was supposed to last days, not weeks and months, and now they are going to start another war with Syria,’ Bricmont said. ‘I believe they think they have a unique capability to solve all the problems in the world, which is not true.’
Bricmont also voiced grave doubts about NATO saying its main goal in Libya is to protect civilians.
‘Civilians are being killed in Libya by NATO – I doubt Syrians need such help,’ the author told RT. ‘There’s been a demonstration of Syrians in Paris asking not to intervene in Syria.’
Bricmont stated that the Syrian situation is very different from the one in Libya. If the government collapses in Syria, he said, it would have a far bigger effect on the Middle East than the fall of the Gaddafi regime.
‘If the Syrian regime collapses, it is going to be another Iraq,’ Bricmont declared. ‘It seems certain the people hate the Assad regime and want it to go no matter what. The problem is Syria is militarily stronger than Libya, so it will be more difficult to intervene there.

Going Rogue: NATO War Crimes in Libya By Susan Lindauer
7 June 2011 — Dissident Voice
It’s a story CNN won’t report. Late at night there’s a pounding on the door in Misurata. Armed soldiers force young Libyan women out of their beds at gun-point. Hustling the women and teenagers into trucks, the soldiers rush the women to gang bang parties for NATO rebels or else rape them in front of their husbands or fathers. When NATO rebels finish their rape sport, the soldiers cut the women’s throats.

Fukushima Predicted: Regulatory Commission was Warned for Years By Arnie Gunderson
5 June 2011 — grtv
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) held a special ACRS meeting Thursday May 26, 2011 on the current status of Fukushima.
Arnie Gundersen was invited to speak for 5 minutes concerning the lessons learned from the Fukushima accident as it pertains to the 23 Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactors (BWR’s) in the US and containment integrity.
Mr. Gundersen was the first engineer to brief the NRC on the implication of Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) Leakage in 1974, and he has been studying containment integrity since 1972. The NRC has constantly maintained in all of its calculations and reviews that there is zero probability of a containment leaking.
For more than six years, in testimony and in correspondence with the NRC, Mr. Gundersen has disputed the NRC’s stand that containment systems simply do not and cannot leak. The events at Fukushima have proven that Gundersen was correct. The explosions at Fukushima show that Mark 1 containments will lose their integrity and release huge amounts of radiation, as Mr. Gundersen has been telling the NRC for many years.
