Tell Your Reps to Sign On to Anti-War Letter |
A recent letter initiated by a bipartisan coalition of eight anti-war Congress members urges President Obama to reconsider his choice of further military escalation in Afghanistan. The escalation of 30,000 additional troops sent to Afghanistan will only further destabilize the region by encouraging local Afghans to join the Taliban fighters as they offer the only real resistance to the U.S. & NATO occupation forces and the overtly corrupt Karzai government.

And The Strongman Cometh.... |
Immediately after the assassination of the John F. Kennedy, several remarkable events happened in quick succession. The FBI swoops down to confiscate important evidence within 24 hours of the assassination of JFK. Despite the shock, confusion, and horror, of having a president gunned down in broad daylight, there are many wheels already rapidly set in motion. A hint of preplanning?

Defeat U.S. War on Afghanistan and Iraq! |
On December 1, President Barack Obama officially announced a massive escalation of the U.S. war on Afghanistan, tripling the number of American military personnel there since Obama took office. This move marks a decision by Washington to continue the colonial occupation of Afghanistan indefinitely, and with it the bloody slaughter of the Afghan people. Obama’s claim that he would “begin the transfer” of U.S. forces by mid-2011 was just sucker bait for gullible liberals. “Afghanistan Is Now Obama’s War,” proclaimed the media from New York to London to Mumbai. But Afghanistan has been the Democrats’ war since the moment it was launched, in September 2001, and together with the war on Iraq, it is a bipartisan imperialist war. No one in Washington thinks the Afghan puppet army will be able to handle the Taliban. The actual U.S. strategy is not to defeat the Taliban but to weaken it enough so that elements of the Islamists can be brought into a political deal. It is striking that in the United States, a majority of the population is turning against the war even though there hasn’t been a major national antiwar march in more than two years – ever since the start of the last presidential election campaign. At protests following Obama’s announcement of more troops to Afghanistan, organizers carefully avoided any signs mentioning the president by name. Our Internationalist contingent, in contrast, carried signs including, “Hey Obama, How Many Kids Did You Kill Today? Defeat Imperialist Slaughter in Afghanistan, Iraq.”

Order and method Miss Lemon! |
In the world of the Agatha Christie detective character Hercule Poirot, one of his favourite expressions is that of “order and method”, and that of using ”the little grey cells”, i.e. the brain and a persons intellectual faculties. When looking at the tragic result of the COP15 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the period of 7.12.2009 and stretching on to 18.12.2009 the result of 193 countries gathering is more than meagre. It’s a mockery of democracy and the lethal situation of climate changes that earth, nature and mankind is confronted with.

Human rights violations in German schools |
Germany is still suffering the loss of humanity 64 years after the Holocaust and the end of WWII. There is much talk about reforming the school system in Germany but no real progress for decades. In fact, the violation of human rights in German schools continues, so one can say: Since 1933 something is rotten in the state of Germany!

The ''White Christmas'' operation in Coccaglio, aiming the expulsion of all ''illegals'' out of the town, is not only a sign of utter racism and xenophobia, it also reveals the inhuman Italian asylumpolicy, which has hardened this year
