The Summer of Muslim Discontent: It’s Not “The Amateur Film” Stupid! By James Petras
The legacy of imperial intervention in the Muslim world during the first decade of the 21st century, in terms of lives lost, in people displaced, in economies destroyed, in perpetual warfare, exceeds any previous decade, including 19th and 20th century colonial conquests. Continue reading

BOMBSHELL: US Caught Meddling in Russian Elections! By Tony Cartalucci
The attempted subversion of a foreign nation and/or meddling in its elections are acts of war, an act of war the United States government through its various “Non-Governmental Organizations” (NGOs) have been committing on and off for decades around the globe.

Israel’s grand hypocrisy By Jonathan Cook
As protests raged again across the Middle East, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, offered his assessment of the Arab Spring last week.

Preparing the Chessboard for the “Clash of Civilizations”: Divide, Conquer and Rule the “New Middle East” By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

Video: Nikolay Starikov – 'Syria – provocations and murders'

US backing for Arab Spring bearing ‘strange fruit’ — RT

The Left has lost its way over Libya By William Bowles
I think it’s time to take a look at the timeline of the latest barbarian attack on the defenceless of the world. I think it reveals far more about how the left in the West operates, what are its motivations, than it does about the aims of the Empire (which should surely by now be… Continue reading

Protests in Israel. Why and how much they matter
This is without a doubt the influence of the “Arab Spring.” While Israel has been one of the most viciously neo-liberalized societies in the Western world, and the level of pain inflicted cuts wide and deep, this wave of protests would have been unimaginable before Mubarak fell. Continue reading

War on Libya leaves Africa at a crossroads By J L Samboma
The Horn of Africa is today within the stranglehold of drought and famine. Libya, a significant player in the so-called African Union under any reckoning, is currently under sustained imperialist assault by the Western powers, a mass-murdering adventure led by the first black president of the United States of America.
