The West is Trapped in its Own Propaganda By Paul Craig Roberts
One of the wishes that readers often express to me came true on May 11. I was on the mainstream media. It was a program with a worldwide reach–the BBC World Service.

His Master’s Voice By William Bowles
The imperial line is clear: wait it out and in the meantime try to engineer a ‘solution’ favourable to the Egyptian people but one that doesn’t alter status quo, especially in the Region, an almost unlikely outcome but one that depends on the passage of time for it to have the best chance of success.… Continue reading

America’s Undeclared War on Pakistan By James Gundun
It was a relatively flawless performance. With Washington stuck in its Afghan review and Pakistan’s cities under bombardment, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton touched down in a hostile Pakistan in October 2009 on a self-proclaimed propaganda mission.

The possibility of yet another U.S. war became more real last week, when the Obama administration sharply confronted both China and Iran.

Cunning Micheletti Determined to Outfox Zelaya, Insouciant U.S. Diplomats; Meanwhile, Clinton Delivers a Likely Fatal Blow to Ousted Honduran President Zelaya’s Already Grim Prospects
After adamantly rejecting all attempted negotiations, the Honduran de facto government signed an agreement on October 29th ostensibly opening space for a potential resolution to the country’s four-month standoff. The agreement called for the formation of a unity government that will assume power and oversee the November 29th presidential elections. But even under the most… Continue reading

The Biden and Clinton Mutinies By ALEXANDER COCKBURN
At the superficial level Obama is presiding over an undisciplined administration; on a more realistic and sinister construction, he is facing mutiny, publicly conducted by two people who only a year ago were claiming that their qualifications to be in the Oval Office were far superior to those of the junior senator from Illinois.

British Foreign Secretary: Clinton threatened to cut-off intell BY Glenn Greenwald
31 July, 2009 I‘ve written several times before about the amazing quest of Binyam Mohamed — a British resident released from Guantanamo in February, 2009 after seven years in captivity — to compel public disclosure of information in the possession of the British Government proving he was tortured while in U.S. custody. At the center of Mohamed’s Continue reading

The Contradiction on Cuba, Mutual Respect vs. Conditionality By John McAuliff
If the President’s words in Moscow are applied to relations with Cuba, and the US manifests the spirit of ‘mutual respect’ he so eloquently advanced in earlier visits to Turkey and France, the conflict between the US and Cuba is all but over. However, as Secretary Clinton’s interview reflects, some officials seem determined to fly… Continue reading

Lina Suleiman – State of “Caged” Palestinians
American rhetoric is full of devious political Language. The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in an interview with Al Jazeera in May 19 confirmed that “the US is going to be pushing for a two-state solution which, by its very name, implies borders that have to be agreed to”. But why the borders should be… Continue reading

William Blum: Anti-Empire Report, Number 69 – Some thoughts about torture. And Mr. Obama.
the new administration has not categorically banned the outsourcing of torture, such as renditions, the sole purpose of which is to kidnap people and send them to a country to be tortured.

Pakistan’s Democracy Movement Flexes its Muscles By Tom Burghardt
It is no secret that the United States, first under Bush, and now under Obama, view Pakistan as the ‘central front’ in imperialism’s oxymoronic ‘war on terror.’ For decades, the U.S. has viewed Pakistan as little more than a ‘strategic asset’ to advance America’s geopolitical goals in Central- and South Asia.

The Obama Phenom or revolving door ‘democracy’ By William Bowles
There are dark forces at work here, namely the pr and media sectors of the ruling elites who have realised that the only way to (hopefully) save their bacon is to have an economically and politically ‘safe’ Black prez who captures the imagination of those who have never voted (about 30% of the eligible population),… Continue reading
