Trump's art of the deal always has been to ask for everything, judge the point at which the other party has made his final offer and then take what he can get, says Ramesh Thakur. That's what he's doing with Ukraine.

Noam Chomsky has publicly given his backing to John Kerry for the US presidency. Chomsky, of course, prefers Nadar, but in an interview in the Guardian seems to advocate a vote for Kerry, presumbably because Nadar is not going to win and each vote for him is one less for Kerry, thus opening the way for a Bush victory. read full story / add a comment

might lead to massive violence on the streets of Palestine Ariel Sharon chose today to public assassinate him in Gaza without so much as a trial.

The question is why? And why was it sanctioned by Bush as it undoubtedly must have been?

They could have picked up this man any time they wanted on the streets as there was little chance of him getting away on his wheelchair. Surely this barbaric execution is proof if it were required that Israel has no interest in peace and is again thumbing its' nose at the world.

His assassination will reawaken memories for Irish people of the execution of James Connolly in a wheelchair and the war which led to independence from British tyranny that it sparked!

I note that there is discussion on another thread about the size of yesterday’s anti-war march. I recall a similar discussion this time last year about the dimensions of the 15 February mobilisation —was there 80,000 or perhaps 200,000? I discovered yesterday that it is hard to be half-way accurate about such matters, much less definitive read full story / add a comment

It has long been valued that on their non-banking days people are pretty much the same as when they work, graft, toil and sweat.
Except they have less money making opportunities. This facilitates their increased participation in their society as citizens and nationals of the Civilised World.
