Military or Market-Driven Empire Building: 1950-2008
by James Petras
|
Focus
|
As the U.S. presidential campaign predictably displays a competition in militarism and allegiance to Zionist interests, the militaristic model of governance, which has largely prevailed so far in this century within the power circles, has nonetheless failed in terms of empire building. James Petras takes a historical look at the competition between this military powered empire building model, and the market powered one, to point out that eventually, while the inefficient military colonial policy crippled the U.S. economy, it was paving the way for economic competitors to reap the benefits of globalization.

Lebanon : A Serious Compromise or a Truce?
Tendencies | 16 May 2008
The Arab mediation has succeeded in principle in curbing deterioration on the Lebanese arena after a week of bloody events and the Lebanese sides suddenly decided to head for Qatar to continue their discussions on an honorable compromise for the prolonged crisis. The press talked about these developments without referring to the possibility of ad-Doha talks’ success or their failure amid the absence of the Saudi stand and the confusion of the US and Israeli stand. The press also focused on Bush’s visit to Israel amid popular condemnations and unprecedented activities in commemorating this day in the Arab world.

Learning about the Past to Understand the Present
US secret services in between China and Tibet
by Comandante Fidel Castro
|
La Havane (Cuba)
|
The Tibet images published by the CNN are simplistic: on the one hand they show the Chinese as the bad guys because they are communist; on the other hand we have the Tibet people, the Buddhists. But Comandante Fidel Castro warns that all that is but mere propaganda. The history of that Asian region discloses the truth, the old causes and disputes between the United States and China: the adhesion of Tibet to the Kuomintang to fight Mao and the Buddhist guerrilla under the command of the CIA.

The resignation of Admiral Fallon will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq
by Thierry Meyssan
|
Beirut (Lebanon)
|
Contrary to what has been written so far in the mainstream media, Admiral William Fallon was not removed because he was opposing President Bush on an attack against Iran. He resigned from his own initiative after the agreement he had negotiated and concluded with Tehran, Moscow and Peking was sabotaged by the White House. This decision by the Bush administration will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq and exposes gravely the GI’s to a new Resistance this time supported without restraints from the outside.

No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11
by Ed Haas
|
Osama bin Laden’s role in the events of September 11, 2001 is not mentioned on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” poster. On June 5, 2006, author Ed Haas contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters to ask why, while claiming that bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 1998 bombings of US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the poster does not indicate that he is wanted in connection with the events of 9/11.

Anti-terror hysteria masks the real contemporary political stakes, with the food issue in the first line. 854 million people suffer from hunger, as Jacques Diouf, Director-General for Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), reminds us. Our foremost duty is to feed them.
