There’s one useful bench-mark for judging the progress of the Bolivarian revolution over the coming years – how much does the role played by Chavez himself diminish, and how rapidly? You can’t assess what’s happened in Venezuela over the last eight years realistically without recognising that Hugo Chavez has played a positive role. But an asset can become a liability, and the commanding position of Chavez could be an obstacle to the emergence of popular democracy in Venezuela. To succeed, the Bolivarian revolution will have to go beyond its dependence on Hugo Chavez. read full story / add a comment

Howard’s latest glib contribution, ‘Australia Rising’, delivered at the Queensland Media Club today, is yet another attempt to claw back into favour and steal attention away from the Murdoch endorsed future Prime Minister, Kevin (I can suck harder than you) Rudd. Howard’s spin-doctors have been working overtime to no avail it would seem. Following the ridiculous and desperate attempts to steal the agenda with infantile attacks on US presidential candidates, the HIV positive and most recently Howard's very revealing and ‘removed’ call for divine intervention regarding the water crisis, the “Australia Rising” speech will no doubt be greeted by the public with all the disdain it deserves! read full story / add a comment

The closer Australia gets to the Federal election, the fewer the political differences between the two major candidates! The chances of opposition leader, Kevin Rudd becoming the next Australian prime minister have increased dramatically following his private dinner engagement with king maker, Rupert Murdoch in New York today. During his quick visit to the U.S., Rudd also addressed the Brookings Institution in Washington and confirmed that any negligible differences between his policies and Howard’s would be completely eradicated by the time of the election and that he was ready, willing and able to assume the ’position’ of lackey, sycophant and new governor of America’s newest colonial acquisition, Australia!

The great-grandfather of a Muslim man held in Guantanamo was likewise held without trial and tortured by a colonial superpower Amir Yakoub Mohammed Al Amir Mahmoud is from Sudan and is a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay. For him, extraordinary rendition has come full circle. British colonial powers held his great-grandfather over a century ago and he is in the hands of US authorities today. read full story / add a comment

The President Johnson Center of NASA in Hueston Texas was seen to shooting less than 4 days after suggestible and gullible world viewers had begun to absorb the V Tech Blackburg Massacre. Information on the man who alledgedly broke into the facility without proper ID, being stopped, retina scan, finger-print analysis or voice-print is reported as having taken a hostage who was killed. The man then commit suicide. This is not the worst massacre in US tech facility history & will not usurp the legacy of Columbine. But it is the worse massacre in NASA ground history but not as bad as the legacy of Columbia read full story / add a comment

It is suggested that the Iranian invasion of Mexico in 2003, supported by an alliance of Arab nations including Syria and Lebanon, has now claimed over 2 ½ million lives. The justification for the invasion as we now know was false – Mexico possessed no weapons of mass destruction and posed no threat to Iran’s ally Venezuela. But three years on the Iranian military, supported by their allies, remain as occupiers within a country crumbling under the relentless violence. With one eye on the occupation and one eye on the surrounding region Iran has recently been caught in a bit of a diplomatic crisis – the recent detention of it’s forces by a hostile neighbour. read full story / add a comment

“I vowed that if you harbor a terrorist you’re equally as guilty as the terrorist. That’s a doctrine. In order for this country to be credible, when the President says something, he must mean it.” President George W. Bush, April 10, 2007, American Legion Post 177, Fairfax, Virginia. “Part of our doctrine is if you harbor a terrorist, you’re equally as guilty as the terrorists.” President Bush, April 5, 2007, Fort Irwin, California. So much for the Bush doctrine. read full story / add a comment

In Baghdad the Chaldean Catholic church of Sts. Peter and Paul received a blunt warning: "Get rid of the cross or we will burn your churches." Bishop Shlemnon Warduni told AsiaNews, "in the last 2 months many churches have been forced to remove their crosses from their domes," while in one case Islamic militants climbed the church roof to destroy the cross themselves. read full story / add a comment

travelled to the Kurdish area of Iraq to study and observe women’s activities there at close range for the first time in 2000. Then last summer I travelled to this region again to visit the non-governmental organisations of Iraq. When I arrived and came across the activities of Kurdish women, it was a very familiar environment for me, since I had done thorough research on Kurdish women in the recent decades, and also due to my familiarity with the NGO activities of Kurdish women in Turkey. In the Sulaymaniyah region of Iraqi Kurdistan I investigated eight women’s NGOs in detail. read full story / add a comment

Delara Darabi -- Artist on Death Row Needs Our Help! On January 27, 2007, Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the death sentence of Delara Darabi for a second time. Delara faces death by public hanging for a murder that took place when she was 17 years old. After murdering a woman related to Delara, Delara’s 19 year old boyfriend, Amir Hossein, convinced Delara to admit responsibility for the murder to protect him from execution. Apparently, both believed that because Delara was under the age of 18, she could not be sentenced to death. This belief proved to be devastatingly false. With complete disregard for its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child , and despite overwhelming evidence of Delara’s innocence, as well as her repeated denials about having had any role in the commission of the crime, an Islamic court found her guilty of murder based solely on her initial claim of responsibility and sentenced her to death by hanging. read full story / add a comment

In answer to growing animosity and the widely held view that the USA is a pariah among nations, compensatory responses from U.S. propagandists are becoming more frequent. The following media ‘staff report’ has been released to a number of international media outlets; India, Pakistan, Australia and Thailand to name the few. However, the ‘news’ release has received little coverage elsewhere, especially in locations familiar with U.S. double standards and hypocrisy. We refer to two Australian releases for our brief analysis. read full story / add a comment |
