national / arts and media / opinion/analysis Friday July 27, 2007 13:29 by MikW
Set in the DDR in 1984, actors, stasi, writers and politicians display some of the
best and worst vestiges of humanity against a backdrop of dimly lit deserted streets, grey buildings
and fenced in feelings. Stasi agent Wiesler a loyal servant of the party and the state believes
writer Georg Dreyman to be not so loyal, a crime in the stasi agents eyes.
Wiesler gets his chance to nail the writer when the corrupt and seedy Minister Of Culture decides he wants Dreyman to be found guilty of anything. The politicians motives have nothing to do with love of party or state. read full story / add a comment

The title of this story might intrigue some and put others off but I can think of no other way to report on the mass media news spin which Spanish people & then various westerners learnt today of the charges of treason brought against a former employee of the Spanish secret service. As we must have noticed by now, things are changing on the geopolitical stage & media manipulation as much as exposure is increasingly pointing to the end of any entente between the former Soviet Union or its citizens and NATO or its dependents. read full story / add a comment

international / anti-war / imperialism / other press Wednesday July 25, 2007 10:51 by Yassamine Mather
This article is based on a speech given by Yassamine Mather of Workers Left Unity Iran at a Marxism 2007 fringe meeting. It explores the position socialists should take in light of both US aggression towards Iran and the Iranian Regimes onslaught against the working class of Iran.

Anti-imperialism and Tehran

Every day the media publish unattributed briefings by US generals and Pentagon sources regarding Iran’s connections to Al Qa’eda, the Taliban and various other terror groups. Most of the media briefings contain no details of substance and many simply repeat previous accusations. However, they are undoubtedly intended to keep tensions ratcheted up, and there is no doubt that the danger of an extension of the current sanctions against Tehran and of limited military action by the US or Israel is very real... read full story / add a comment
