Obama to Putin: Do as I say, not as I do… By Adrian Salbuchi
9 August 2013 — RT
A row between the US and Moscow over Snowden’s extradition has reached a new level of tension after Barack Obama canceled a long-planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, again showing the adherence of US to double-standard politics.
Pump and pray: Tepco might have to pour water on Fukushima wreckage forever By Professor Christopher Busby
8 August 2013 — Russia Today
‘Anyone living within 1km of the coast near to at least 200km north or south of Fukushima should get out. It is not eating the fish and shellfish that gets you – it’s breathing.’
Fukushima is a nightmare disaster area, and no one has the slightest idea what to do. The game is to prevent the crippled nuclear plant from turning into an “open-air super reactor spectacular” which would result in a hazardous, melted catastrophe. On April 25, 2011 – one month after the explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant and the anniversary of Chernobyl – I was interviewed by RT and asked to compare Chernobyl and Fukushima. The clip, which you can find on YouTube, was entitled, “Can’t seal Fukushima like Chernobyl – it all goes into the sea.” Continue reading

Catastrophic Events, Mass Traumatization and the Body Politic By James F. Tracy
2 July 2013 — Memoryhole Blog
A long-held desire of the technocratic worldview involves manipulation and control of a national and even international body politic. “This planetary consciousness,” Zbigniew Brzezinski observes, brings into closer view a single indivisible humanity united by the soft tyranny of depersonalized and omnipresent coercion. “The sense of proximity, the immediacy of suffering,” he wrote at the height of the Cold War, “the globally destructive character of modern weapons all help to stimulate an outlook that views mankind as a community.”[1]

The DataGate? It began in Rome when the National Security Agency (NSA) spied on the visit of Hugo Chávez. In May 2006, U.S. secret services organized a massive espionage operation against the Venezuelan president. The Italian capital was intercepted for a week.

President Obama’s Insecure National Security State By Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III
11 June 2013 — Black Agenda Report
President Obama’s defense of the very surveillance policies he campaigned against in 2008 “fails the laugh test on a number of levels” – including the legal presumption of innocence. “Where is the basis of ‘probable cause’ to proactively search the records of millions of Americans who have never engaged in any illegal activity let alone activity of a ‘terrorist’ nature?”
HAITI: Massive March Signals Resurrection of Aristide’s Lavalas Movement By Kim Ives

Well over 15,000 people poured out from all corners of Haiti’s capital to march alongside the cortege of cars that carried former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide back to his home in Tabarre from the Port-au-Prince courthouse he visited on May 8.
Thousands more massed along sidewalks and on rooftops to cheer the procession on, waving flags and wearing small photos of Aristide in their hair, pinned to their clothing, or stuck in their hats.

Audio: Dario Fo’s ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’
1 May 2013
If you don’t know the work of Italian playwright Dario Fo, now’s your chance to hear the BBC’s radio adaptation of the stage play (which I saw in London many moons ago). Brilliant, funny and still timely (if not more so) than when it was written in the 1970s, although the BBC production is wooden, mechanical even, and fails to do justice to Fo’s wicked sense of humour. A far cry from the exuberant stage production. Continue reading

by BAR managing editor Bruce A. DixonThe BBC’s ‘Why Poverty?’ Series: A Missed Opportunity
4 February 2013 — New Left Project
The Why Poverty project is a recent collaboration between the Open University and the BBC that attempts to highlight the causes of global poverty and explain the different contexts in which it is experienced. The project was extensive, including a detailed website, radio programmes, and a BBC4 television series which will undoubtedly have had an impact on how poverty is understood by a wide audience. In my view, however, parts of the BBC 4 series, as well as the overall narrative of the project were not conducive to the project achieving its aims.
