British anti-War politics has taken an interesting turn over the change of Year. The leader of the largest "anti-War" party has resigned his position after being exposed as a soaked up rickety wreck alcoholic. Meanwhile the umbrella of interests in British politics which work through the "Impeach Blair" or "Stop the War" coalition have called upon a retired general to voice their concerns, and the former extreme left candidate Gorgeous George Galloway has decided to go to Big Brother. read full story / add a comment

The “New American Century” (PNAC) and the “Thousand Year Reich”, shared a similar preposterous vision; a crude blend of wishful thinking, fantasy and religiosity. However, the chronologically modest American ‘vision’ is no less dangerous and destructive a model; in fact, the potential for destruction on a scale never before seen is inherent is the ‘New American (graveyard) Century’. read full story / add a comment

General Sir Michael Rose (1940–) is a British soldier born in what was then British India. Rose was educated at St Edmund Hall, Oxford and the Sorbonne. He joined the Coldstream Guards later serving with the Parachute Regiment. He was Commander of 22 SAS in 1980 and took control of the operation to free the hostages during the Iranian Embassy Siege. After returning to the regular army, his best-known appointment was as Commander UNPROFOR Bosnia 1994-95 during the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars.

Slavoj Žižek analyses the US propganda machine's attempt to make torture acceptable in the series "24", which takes up the Alan Dershowitz "ticking terrorist bomb" scenario and decides that torturing will work. It's interesting that Hollywood is still seen as "liberal" and "anti-patriotic" when it performs such a vital role in spreading propaganda to the citizens of the US. Žižek discusses the method in which Himmler's subordinates were able to carry out their vile work and suggests that the same process is at work in US culture. read full story / add a comment
