What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom : "We Will Force You To Be Free"
Using violence, not simply as a means to achieve
one's goals, but also as an expression of freedom
from Western bourgeois norms, was an idea
developed by African revolutionary Franz Fanon.
He developed it from the Existentialist ideology
of Jean-Paul Sartre, who argued that terrorism
was a "terrible weapon but the oppressed poor
have no others." (^ Sartre: The Philosopher of
the Twentieth Century, Bernard-Henri Lévy,
p.343). ) These views were expressed, for
example, in the revolutionary film The Battle of Algiers

Perfidious Albion and the lying American
Wars usually start with one large lie. Throwing
more troops into the breach requires a great many
little lies. Wars usually end when the lying
can't staunch the bleeding, and the stench.

The War of Terror and the US National Interest
Why is it that US politicians feel compelled to
appear before a small, delimited section of the
United States and pronounce unwavering support
for Israel -- which is de facto support for
ethnic cleansing and slow motion genocide? Why is
it the administration of a superpower feels
forced to address this small segment of the US
population? Is this in the US "national interest"?

Surviving At The Pleasure Of The President
My friend Bernie says ever since the Bush gang
stormed the White House in 2000, then stormed the
World Trade Center in 2001, we've done nothing
but run in circles like a bunch of terrified
chickens with our heads chopped off. "We have no
sense of direction," Bernie said, "we're
staggering around in a jungle of lies, deceit,
and scandal with no way out and that's the way they planned it."
"You're kidding!" I exclaimed, astonished. "You
mean they planned this mess? It's nothing but bloody chaos out there... "

Bush's Long History of Tilting Justice
THE SCANDAL unfolding around the firing of eight
U.S. attorneys compels the conclusion that the
Bush administration has rewarded loyalty over all
else. A destructive pattern of partisan political
actions at the Justice Department started long
before this incident, however, as those of us who
worked in its civil rights division can attest.

"THE SECRET": CREATING A CULTURE OF CHEERFULNESS AS ROME BURNS
A friend recently asked me what I knew about The
Secret, and I had to confess, absolutely nothing.
A couple of days later, another friend asked the
same question, so I decided Id better
investigate this supposedly revolutionary new
book and DVD that have taken the country by
storm. As I did so, I discovered that nothing
about The Secret is revolutionary or new but
rather a glitzy, twenty-first century redux of
what has come to be called in metaphysical circles "New Thought".

Deaths In Iraq Have Reached 1 Million : US WarCriminal
Grim claim on fourth anniversary of conflict. THE
number of deaths in Iraq since the start of the
conflict could be as high as one million, it was claimed yesterday.
On the fourth anniversary of the invasion by
Allied troops, an Australian scientist insisted
the true death toll dwarfed previous estimates.
Dr Gideon Polya said: "Using the most
comprehensive and authoritative literature and UN
demographic data yields an estimate of one
million post-invasion excess deaths in Iraq."
His figure is far higher than the biggest previous estimate of 655,000.
A spokesman for the Stop The War Coalition said
the figure was "astonishing", adding: "Four years
after the start of the conflict in Iraq, we can
now see what a disaster the war has been.
"Everything we predicted would happen has taken
place, but it has been far worse than we feared."

One million post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths
ignored - Silence of Mainstream media
MWC NEWS readers may have encountered a recent
article of mine in which the post-invasion excess
deaths (avoidable deaths, deaths that did not
have to happen) in Occupied Iraq were estimated
at 1 million (ONE MILLION). This estimate was
based on the very latest medical literature and
UN Population Division data sources that were
carefully documented in the 2 February 2007 article.
Accordingly I have RE-CALCULATED the
post-invasion Iraqi excess deaths as of March
2007, making 5 ESTIMATES using 4 INDEPENDENT SETS
OF DATA as set out below. The key sources are
UNICEF, the UN Population Division and scientific
papers from the top US medical epidemiology group
in the Worlds top Public Health Department (the
Bloomberg School of Public Health) at the top
Johns Hopkins University and published
peer-reviewed in the top medical journal The
Lancet (for further details and detailed
documentation of what follows see MWC News and HERE ):

AMERICA'S CONTINUED CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY / RADIOACTIVE GENOCIDE
Each of the Iraqi children killed by the United
States was our child. Each of the prisoners
tortured in Abu Ghraib was our comrade. Each of
their screams was ours. When they were
humiliated, we were humiliated. The U.S. soldiers
fighting in Iraq ~ mostly volunteers in a poverty
draft from small towns and poor urban
neighborhoods ~ are victims just as much as the
Iraqis of the same horrendous process, which asks
them to die for a victory that will never be

Daily tragedies in Iraq: routine
I could fill the blog with these every day, but
here are two that are particularly poignant. From the Times on March 26:
Ahmed Ali [is] a grizzled 72-year old carpenter
who came for help getting his food ration basket.
Mr. Ali closed his carpentry shop because there
was no electricity. Known throughout Adhamiya for
his craftsmanship, he was famous for making an
Arab version of the lute for local musicians.

The crime of being born Palestinian
Almost two weeks ago, my friend Dawud, a high
school English teacher from Kufr 'Ain, called me
nearly in tears to report the checkpoint hold-up
that had cost him his six-month-old son. Shortly
after midnight on March 8th, my friend's baby
began having trouble breathing. His parents
quickly got a taxi to take him to the nearest
hospital in Ramallah, where they hoped to secure
an oxygen tent, which had helped him recover from
difficult respiratory episodes in the past. As
the family was rushing from their Palestinian
town in the West Bank to their Palestinian
hospital in the West Bank, they were stopped at
Atara checkpoint, where an Israeli soldier asked
for the father's, mother's, and driver's IDs.
Dawud explained to the soldier that his son
needed urgent medical care, but the soldier
insisted on checking the three IDs first, a
process that usually takes a few minutes. Dawud's
was the only car at the checkpoint in the middle
of the night, yet the soldier held the three IDs
for more than twenty minutes, even as Dawud and
his wife began to cry, begging to be allowed
through. After fifteen minutes, Dawud's baby's
mouth began to overflow with liquid and my friend
wailed at the soldier to allow them through, that
his baby was dying. Instead, the soldier demanded
to search the car, even after the IDs had been
cleared. At 1:05am, six-month-old Khalid Dawud
Fakaah died at Atara Checkpoint. As the soldier
checked the car, he shined his flashlight on the
dead child's face and, realizing what had
happened, finally returned the three ID cards and
allowed the grieving family to pass.

RACIST SENTIMENTS ON THE RISE IN ISRAEL
It seems that anti Arab sentiments are on the
rise in Israel. This according to a recent poll
on whether or not the state should back Arab
migration. Of 500 Israeli Jews polled, the
results showed 50% were in favour of encouraged migration.
I find it amazing that there is no attempt made
to hide these feelings. Israel is constantly
denying that it is a racist state or a state that
is implementing apartheid, but here is proof that
those very policies are supported by half of the population.
It is a very sad commentary on the situation here
and shows how much work is left to be done in
this country to reverse this trend before it completely overtakes us.
Racism must be defeated through education.
Ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to walls
being built. Our work is cut out for us....
This article from HaAretz discusses the poll...
