"Our territory may have been used not to commit crimes as such but as a stopover on the way to commit crime in other territories," Moratinos said, adding that 66 suspect flights had made stops in Spain.

"According to all information available to the Spanish government at this moment ... there has not been any violation of Spanish law as regards CIA flights since this government came into office (March 2004)," he added. ... read full story / add a comment

Once again, Maryam Namazie takes on the Islamists and shows the left that it is necessary to stand up to those who use the excuse of multi-culturalism to impose misogyny and homophobia. Full story at the link.

Cultural relativism is not only a prescription for inaction and passivity in the face of the oppression of millions of people struggling and resisting in the Middle East and here in the west but is in fact racist in and of itself.

‘Siberia and today’s arctic regions of Canada will be the future breadbaskets of the world.’ I read this forecast in the sixties and immediately scoffed at the prediction. The guy who made these predictions is either nuts, a charlatan, or both, I thought. The regions referred to are renowned for their permafrost, and aside from some mosses, lichens and ‘summer’ grasses, there is no way those areas could yield a viable supply of food for “the world” – that was then! ... read full story / add a comment

Threats of sanctions or a military attack on Iran are having a worrying impact on the country’s domestic politics, writes Naz Massoumi
The next few months will be decisive ones for the “war on terror” as the US steps up its pressure on Iran. The Iranian nuclear issue is back on the agenda, with the passing of another United Nations (UN) deadline and another “negative report”. This external pressure has implications for politics inside Iran. ... read full story / add a comment

Philip Ruddock, Australian Attorney General, announced today that a broader range of people in the Australian community (non-Muslims) are to be targeted as “terrorists!” Ruddock also stated that persons who are not ‘terrorists’ need not be alarmed as his new wider classification should not concern ‘them’(?)

Australian citizens are left to conclude that the determination of who exactly is a terrorist has become an arbitrary prerogative of the Attorney General and his gang of enforcers! Whatever happened to due process, innocent until PROVEN guilty? {God help that journalist who stepped on Ruddock’s toe, he will be the first to go!) It is not coincidental that the Bush regime also found due process to be an inconvenience. Ruddock’s logic and methods reek of neo-con methods, Guantanamo (Torture) Bay and Bush regime criminal methodologies have found expression in Oz. ... read full story / add a comment

Bruising some murderous scumbags ego led to an innocent man's brutal murder.

The scumbags who murdered him are known as the Coca-Cola gang, (which clearly demonstrates their level of intellectual and political prowess), and the reason they killed him was because he stood up against them and their plan to subdue the entire community under their jackboot. .

These are the representatives of a group who declare that they are representative of true Ireland, a 32 county republic, etc. What these peope really need is some Thorazine, in in my opinion, and perhaps some electro shock therapy.
