The Education of a Peacemaker (interview of Johan Galtung)
"This triad of chosenness, glory and trauma produces vicious types of nationalistic ideologies that are constantly threatening world peace..Nationalism is not the same as culture..Nationalism lays claim on land and time..Education has degenerated into schooling, schooling has mutated into a way of earning degrees, and degrees are seen simply as a ticket to earning a living." Johan Galtung in his 70s is a renowned peace researcher and Norwegian sociologist devoted to Gandhi and Martin Luther King. He laments the dreadful state of conflict resolution study.

Social Tensions and US Covert Intervention in Nepal
I am an activist from Portland who has been travelling in South Asia for a few months. I am now in the capital of Nepal, Katmandu, and there is a now a troubling presence of military and police forces, which are armed and in riot gear, around some of the major thoroughfares. About a week ago, Nepalese students protesting bus fare hikes were shot at by police; five were murdered and publicly left to die.

Internet Dissidents
The following profiles are of writers, webmasters, and students who have been jailed by their governments for simply expressing their views via the Internet. The countries they represent--Tunisia, China, and Vietnam--all promote electronic communication as a vehicle of modernization, and yet subject it to draconian regulation in an effort to quash the dissemination of popular political dissent and protest.

The Bush Crime Family Fraud Saga
"You can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you have to focus on" ? GW Bush
"You have to look at the entire Bush Family in this context -- as if the family ran a corporation called ?Frauds-R-Us, George Jr.?s specialty was insurance and security fraud.
Jeb?s specialty was oil and gas fraud.
Neil?s specialty was real estate fraud.
Prescott?s specialty was banking fraud.
And George Sr.?s specialty? All of the above." -- Lt. Cmdr. Al Martin, US Navy,(Ret)

Surprise, Surprise: US Arms Team Leaves Iraq--without Finding WMD
More proof that the "Weapons of Mass Destruction" rhetoric was nothing more than a Propaganda Pretext to invade and subjugate a Sovereign Nation. Of course this is what most thinking people outside the American Empire already knew from the very start. Get ready for a flurry of bullshit alibis and rationalizations to explain away this lack of WMD. You know, like "Saddam gave them away" or "They have been moved to Syria" or "We waited too long and stayed too far back." Looks like these American Weapons Inpsectors are going back home with egg on their face, with their Tail pathetically tucked Between their Legs.

Hey, if the Generals can control the media here in the USA (like CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC), why not in Eye-rack! The Eye-racki people should not be deprived of America Style War-TV after all. Next up, a steady diet of Reality TV, American Style to numb and pacify the Eye-Racki people!

Questions of Life and Death
"Many politicians lack a moral imperative today. They act as though they have no options any more because the economy dictates conditions. This is not true. Politicians can still make decisions in the interests of many, not in the interests of a few..Admitting that some of their dogmas are completely insubstantial is not easy for disciples of market fundamentalism..Economics cannot be separated from politics, history and culture." Ms. Hertz became an economics professor at Cambridge at 30.

Cheney oil firm widens Iraq role
A GOOD ANALYSIS OF THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT IN AMERICA
What accounts for the demise of the US peace movement and even the embrace of war among some sectors of the protestors, particularly as the military pulverized and conquered Baghdad? The most important single factor was the turn from fear of a lethal "attack" by Iraq to the "security" of a US military conquest and occupation of Baghdad. In other words many US opponents of war were not motivated by moral principle or solidarity - they acted against the war because they feared that US society and soldiers might be adversely affected. Once it was clear that there was no chance for any significant retaliation within the US or Iraq ( Bush knew all along Iraq was effectively disarmed before invading), that the US military was in total control, they switched loyalties and joined in supporting the warlords.

US military permitted looting of Iraqi nuclear site
The International Atomic Energy Agency oversaw the securing of Iraq's Tuwaitha nuclear research complex before the war, which contained tons of special nuclear materials, before being forced to leave by US warmakers. The US administration claimed that Iraq was developing "weapons of mass destruction" and ordered Saddam Hussein to "disarm," then invaded claiming he had failed to do so. But it failed to secure the Tuwaitha complex in the aftermath of the collapse of Iraq's military defense and the abandonment of the Tuwaitha site, which has now been looted. US officials still have not determined the extent of the looting, having only visited the site recently. No nuclear experts from IAEA or the US have yet been able to assess the situation. Experts are "shocked" at the oversight.
