Here we go again. Charley Reese articulates perfectly why Tibet is such a non-issue that is being exaggerated to frightening and suspicious proportions.
Coffee sippers who think it might be a good idea to free Tibet from China are about 58 years too late. China is not going to free Tibet, and Western encouragement of [...]

Welcome the day of reflection. Raping starts again next week, business as usual.
The US military slapped a sweeping curfew Wednesday on troops and their relatives on Japan’s southern island of Okinawa after a series of incidents including an alleged rape that sparked tension.
A US Marine was arrested last week on allegations that he raped a [...]

New laws will require schools to teach patriotism and once again elevate the Defense Agency its pre-war status. Students may in fact be graded in patriotism and schools will “cultivate an attitude that respects tradition and culture, that loves the nation and home country.”
The education reform bill triggered controversy, both because of its sensitive content [...]

People in the Philippines are increasingly upset with the current arrangement – and they have every right to be. Historical crimes notwithstanding, having the audacity to conspire to spirit away a convicted felon to what would likely be a jail-free life in the US is beyond reprehensible. But certainly in line with what the US [...]

Or how the US turned a promising denuclearization agreement into disaster, to the point of subverting its own negotiator for making progress. It’s only the most recent incident of course in a long line of US provocations and swaggering that frankly shows a startling lack of pragmatism. One has to wonder if it is just [...]

America does a bang-up job of appropriating war crimes, doing the civilized, responsible thing — as long as the war crimes in question are long past, far away and don’t directly involve Americans. And adding to the definition, it of course helps if the appropriation can produce some sort of blunt rhetorical device to deflect [...]

U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. now faces the daunting task of convincing the Chinese that it is in their own best interest to allow American transnationals to loot their country as they have so many others. Not to mention continuing to finance the ailing U.S. empire AND cut back their exports.
“Treasury Secretary Henry [...]

You know it’s that time of the year again, when apologists for empire scurry to defend their genocidal all-time high. It would seem the U.S. still isn’t ready to show even the most rudimentary remorse. Thankfully there are those that have seen the bigger picture and managed to digg themselves out of the propaganda.

When Pakistan builds a heavy-water reactor geared specifically towards plutonium production the Black House turns to “dissuasion” and “discouragement.” As one commentator notes in brief over at Raw Story, Iranian nuclear facilities provoke a different reaction despite no one having proven that Iran is even gearing towards weapons production per se. Pakistan flat out admits [...]
