The anti-immigrant Danish People’s Party, which has seen gains in popularity following the attacks of 11 September and the controversy about cartoons of Muhammad published last year, has lost 2.7% of voters' support in the course of the last month. This is one of the results from an opinion poll conducted by Catinét Research for the Danish news agency Ritzau between 13 and 17 March. The Danish People’s Party's member of parliament Louise Frevert is one of a number of Danish politicians who have played a key role in inflaming Muslim concerns with a comment on her website that “the Muslim menace ... can be compared with a tumour which we know will kill us, if we don’t find and annihilate it before it spreads.” Please read my translation from an original Danish article below. ... read full story / add a comment

It should now be apparent to all that the usual strategies have proven ineffective against the ultra-right of today. The reasons are clear; the right is playing hard, fast and bold while the opposition is lost in analysis and navel gazing. ‘Storming the Bastille’ may again be required to precipitate change. Demos, alternative media, various forms of dissenting propaganda have all failed to alter the course of events. It would seem that while one side is playing hardball (for keeps) the other is content to fossick on the shores of world-shaping politics. ... read full story / add a comment

After three years since the start of the Iraq, where is the US in this project? To answer that we have to look at why the war was launched and what the neocon elite in Washington wants.

In an article published on Sunday 12 March, The Chicago Tribune disclosed that it had discovered the identities of "more than 2,600 CIA employees, 50 internal agency telephone numbers and the locations of some two dozen secret CIA facilities around the United States." Some of those exposed were supposedly secret agents, but the information was freely available on searching in an online database accessed on paying a subscription. Searching aviation databases for flights landing or taking off from the small airstrip at the CIA's training facility at Camp Peary revealed 17 aircraft whose ownership and flight histories could also be traced. Unfortunately, the Trib has not published details of just how it found the classified information. Please read the full article below - reproduced in full so as to ensure free and full access under principles of fair use. ... read full story / add a comment

Many persons were injured, some heavily, 45 were arrested. The antifascists wanted to stop neo-fascists from marching through Milano - the police ... read full story / add a comment
