Imperialists — hands off Syria!

The Horn of Africa is today within the stranglehold of drought and famine.

Ed Neumeister ‘ESP’
27 April 2011 Readers might be curious as to why I also publish music videos on a site dedicated to investigating imperialism. Well the short answer is that I’m an ex-muso raised on jazz, funk, reggae, latin and african music and amidst all the gloom and doom, I need a shot of syncopation every now Continue reading

Wikileaks, Imperialism and the Western Media By Sean Fenley

Book Review: Yankee Doodle Ecologist: Tom Friedman and the Green Revolution By Jerry Harris
The book’s title, Hot, Flat, and Crowded is a good indicator as to how Friedman understands environmental problems. Underline that word crowded because the book takes us on a Malthusian ride through the Third World. It’s overpopulation, not capitalism and its need for every expanding accumulation that is destroying the world’s environment. Continue reading

Book Review: Alison Frank, “Towards a Great German Oil Empire”
Although the book’s title might seem to imply that Germany waged war in order to secure access to oil, the narrative itself does not suggest that this was the case. On the contrary, the thirst for oil seems to have been as much driven by military success as it was an inspiration for military engagement.… Continue reading

Matthew Thomas Clement, “Energy (and Empire) in World History”
Nations like England and the United States, which have consumed and continue to consume vast quantities of energy, are not considered important factors in the changing relationship between human society and energy. By drawing from various other works (e.g., Bagchi 2005; Cronon 2003; Davis 2002), this paper will attempt to correct for Smil’s failure to… Continue reading

Is it the 1930s all over again? By William Bowles
The bottom line then is that the crisis of capital has only two outcomes: remove the competitors or, face the end of capitalism and build a socialist alternative. If the former, then general war (whatever its form, ie “endless war”) is the only conclusion, thereby consuming the over-accumulated capital, ‘taking out’ the major competitors and… Continue reading

US Gambles with Russia: Stoking a Global War? By Stephen Lendman
One nation above others is an obstacle – Russia. It’s powerful and can’t be intimidated like most others. It’s also dominant where Washington wants control – the Eurasian vastness with its huge oil, gas and other resources. For years, American sought dominance over it. Saw an opening when the Soviet Union dissolved. And one way… Continue reading

Yoav Bar – The Crisis of Zionism (and) a Perspective for Palestinian Approach To the Jewish Community in Palestine | Haifa Conference
The situation in Palestine is very different from that of Europe or the US. Since the beginning of the Zionist colonization of Palestine, some 130 years ago, Jews in Palestine were a small enclave of settler population in the midst of the Arab homeland. Colonialism is not external expansionism of some imaginary ‘western-capitalist Israel’, but… Continue reading
