For many in America, a conflict with China is all they can hope for.
The Pentagon is moving strategic bombers to Guam and aircraft carriers and submarines to the Pacific as part of a new “hedge” strategy aimed at preparing for conflict with China, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
Also, you can’t beat having strategic Non-Self-Governing Territories [...]

Howard Zinn argues that there are two basic reasons why Americans have so often been, and still are, tricked by their leaders.

If we don’t know history, then we are ready meat for carnivorous politicians and the intellectuals [...]

The U.K. will cancel a £12bn order for the Joint Strike Fighter if the U.S. “does not hand over full access to the computer software code that controls the jets.” “Open source” is the way to go, especially in the military world where the urge to install backdoors must be insurmountable.

Salon has made available their entire set of 279 photographs and 19 videos from Abu Ghraib. Just one brief glimpse of the horrors that go on daily at various empire outposts.

In would-be fascist America, it might soon be illegal for anyone to disclose that the government is violating the constitution. Which in itself is violating the constitution. For a people and a government that constantly spouts off about their constitution, which they seem to think is the center of the universe, they sure don’t understand [...]

Owing to Ben Griffin’s hasty but morally courageous departure from the SAS, we have gained a rare glimpse into the behaviour of Americans in Iraq from one of Britain’s finest. In his first interview since opting out last year, he notes that
“As far as the Americans were concerned, the Iraqi people were sub-human, untermenschen. You [...]

Defense Tech has dug up a piece of CIA history, namely the making of covert propaganda movies blending with contemporary culture. Such was the case with the animated 1955 version of “Animal Farm” for instance. The rights to the story were acquired and the script was edited to be more in line with the official [...]
