While it is clear that the US and coalition forces have been killing more civilians than combatants and that more civilians have been killed by the US and coalition forces than by guerrillas, questions stilll remain. First of all, do Iraqi guerrillas themselves in fact attack more civilians than combatants, as the corporate media regularly suggests? ... read full story / add a comment

The _*unrecognised*_ Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has a presidential election today. The self-proclaimed republic was declared in 1983 in the the northern region of the island which the Turkish Army occupied back in 1974. Turkey is the world's only country to have recognized it. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (bit bigger than the arabic league but the mint tea isn't as food) granted it observer member status under the name of "Turkish Cypriot State". ... read full story / add a comment

1931 the 14th of April was declared the 2nd Republic of Spain. In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship. It's "firsts" were many- free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives, the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture. All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. ... read full story / add a comment

The reaction of the mainstream media and ruling classes to the death of pope John II must have, at the very least, bemused many people. How, after all, could this elderly leader of medieval, obscurantist Roman catholicism, which has been mired in so much scandal of late, have beguiled the world in the way the media is now claiming ‘John Paul the Great’ did so miraculously? Surely it defies the laws of history! ... read full story / add a comment

The general consensus is that if gas prices fall ChevronTexaco’s $16 billion purchase of Unocal was a huge mistake. The author of this article makes the convincing argument that this “risk” was made because ChevronTexaco’s CEO, David O’Reilly, knows that the peak in oil production is going to happen sooner rather then later. Though the author points out that the government is doing little about the situation he fails to note that the funded research into hydrogen as a fuel is useless without a way to make Hydrogen without oil. ... read full story / add a comment |
