Baghdad Burning -- The Raid
 http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/
Saturday, February 11, 2006

We were collected at my aunts house for my cousins birthday party a few days ago. J. just turned 16 and my aunt invited us for a late lunch and some cake. It was a very small gathering- three cousins- including myself- my parents, and J.'s best friend, who also happened to be a neighbor.

Portland Election Monitors to El Salvador
With less than three weeks to go before the municipal and legislative elections of 2006 the atmosphere in El Salvador is one of both tension and enthusiasm for the arrival of voting day. Since the massive outpouring of both morning and support for FMLN around Schafik's funeral, many Salvadorans believe the polls that put the FMLN slightly ahead of ARENA actually underestimate the support people will give the FMLN on voting day. PCASC/CISPES delegates will be in El Salvador to ensure a fair vote and to denounce any attempt by the right-wing to repress free elections.

Several months later, two British "undercover soldiers" wearing "traditional Arab headscarves" were caught red-handed by Iraqi National Guard "driving a booby trapped car loaded with ammunition."

Compromised US Military Considers Nuclear Option
Arab fighters and insurgents have demonstrated to the world that the US is a 'superpower' in name only. A poorly armed and trained but highly motivated and dedicated band of fighters has exposed the US military as weak, inept, unskilled, brutal and bereft. From South America to the Himalayas, resistance against capitalist plunder and exploitation signals the inevitable failure of militaristic capitalism. Regardless of all other considerations people today have confirmed that they will fight any aggressor who threatens their homes, families and way of life.

Arab Port Deal Distorted for Political Gain
Baltimore's Harbor Recently, 8,600 U.S. companies have been taken over by foreign ownership, while 20 percent of all U.S. assets are held by foreigners. The politicians were silent. Now, a United Arab Emirates' enterprise will soon be operating stevedoring companies in six U.S. ports, including Baltimore's. Its Mayor, Martin O'Malley, almost broke a blood vessel complaining. However, he didn't say a word while the preceding British outfit was doing the work. Go figure!

Media maintains Status Quo
The mass media's real "job," unbeknownst to the general public, is and has always been to protect the status quo, that is, to protect the interests of the governing classes. What currently threatens their legitimacy (and that of the ruling classes) is not that they have not been doing their job in the last few years, but rather that the public has begun to realize that the real function of the mass media (and the government) is to work against the public interest. This growing realization is a terrifying prospect for the ruling classes.

Jeff Free Luers - new article on climate change
Jeff Free Luers 2005 excerpt from entire article posted below by political prisoner Jeff Free Luers:

"The ability to alter the course of climate change lies in the hands of regular people. It is not an easy task by any means. Nevertheless, it is a task that humanity must begin to take; with or without our leaders... A free society is obligated to correct the wrongs of its government. If it cannot, then it is not free. If a people refuse to right the wrongs of their government, their endorsements make them equally culpable, and ultimately, they too will carry the burden of responsibility."

In 2005 I heard that Coalition forces were camped in the ruins of Babylon. I heard that bulldozers had dug trenches through the site and cleared areas for helicopter landing pads and parking lots, that thousands of sandbags had been filled with dirt and archaeological fragments, that a 2600-year-old brick pavement had been crushed by tanks, and that the moulded bricks of dragons had been gouged out from the Ishtar Gate by soldiers collecting souvenirs. I heard that the ruins of the Sumerian cities of Umma, Umm al-Akareb, Larsa and Tello were completely destroyed and were now landscapes of craters.

Bush administration seeks funds for regime change in Iran
The Bush administration took a further step on Wednesday in its campaign against Iran by requesting a large increase in funding for the political destabilisation of the Tehran regime.
Speaking to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared that the US would "actively confront" Iran and called for an extra $75 million to fund anti-Tehran propaganda and to support opposition groups inside and outside the country. Last year just $10 million was allocated to such activities.
Rice carefully avoided the use of the term "regime change" and its obvious associations with the US campaign that culminated in the illegal invasion of Iraq. But there is no mistaking the Bush administration's intention to subvert and remove the current Iranian regime.

As Marilyn epitomizes movie stardom, as Willie epitomizes country music -in the same way, Loompanics is the ideal example of what America is all about. Or was meant to be.

The Abu Ghraib photos and the anti-Muslim “free speech” fraud
The release of more horrifying photographs and videos from Abu Ghraib prison sheds a revealing light on the hypocritical and genuinely sinister character of the supposed "free speech" campaign surrounding the publication of anti-Muslim cartoons in the European and international press.
The Australian Special Broadcasting Service's "Dateline" program broadcast a number of the new images from Abu Ghraib on Wednesday. One video revealed a handcuffed man pounding his head against a metal cell door. In other pictures the same man is shown dangling upside down, smeared with his own feces. The corpse of a man who allegedly died during a CIA interrogation appears in another photograph. Certain images reveal detainees obviously wounded and bleeding. SBS aired a video clip of five men with bags over their heads, masturbating on their guards' orders.
