Erich Fromm once said ; "The obsession with violence and destruction . . . are only further instances of the powerful attraction of necrophilia in the contemporary world." Keeping this in mind, in retrospect a Selvam Canagaratna interestingly concludes the following..... “One can’t teach old dogs new tricks, right? ……..   Dead right! Worth remembering that for close upon three decades between the end of the 20th Century and the dawn of the New Millennium the US has, if anything, stubbornly persisted only in re-learning all the wrong lessons in the Middle East. [There’s ‘American Exceptionalism’ for you!] A few random examples will suffice to make the point: * At a state dinner in Tehran on New Year’s Eve, 1977, US President Jimmy Carter toasted the Shah by describing him as "an island of stability in the troubled Middle East", and went on to pay glowing tribute " to your leadership and to the respect and the admiration and love which your peop...

George Galloway (born 1954) is a British politician, broadcaster, and writer. Since late 2012 he has been the Respect Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Bradford West. He has been respected for his   "renowned colourful rhetoric and combative debating style." He was awarded Debater of the Year prize by The Spectator in 2001— More is certainly not needed to introduce a man that is so highly respected by the weak and feared by the strong. In early August, Galloway went as far as to declare his constituency an “Israel-free zone.” The MP, whose constituency has one of the highest Asian populations in the UK, urged people not to buy Israeli goods or services and even to reject tourists. And so as it happens, the usual process of  physical intimidation or at least a warning took place which resulted in a broken rib next to other bruises----This incidentally happens to all who openly happen to give critical speeches about Israel. It is always the same process...

So you thought American militarism was a problem only foreign peoples had to deal with? Americans are appalled by the invasion and military occupation of Ferguson, Missouri – but, guess what? This is something the peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Donetsk have had to live with every day . And now America’s war on the world has come home. As images of tanks rolling down American streets and "police" armored up like soldiers point their guns at peaceful demonstrators flash across US television screens and social media, the stark reality of American militarism is right in everyone’s faces. All those MRAPs and that body armor came directly from America’s wars abroad – straight into the streets of a small American town, to be used against rebellious dark-skinned people. There have certainly and tirelessly been chronicling of the militarization of US "law" enforcement for years – warnings of the domestic consequences of such foreign policy of unrestrained ...

3 very important historical events regarding Iran are constantly twisted and turned and dis-informed on a regular basis , this   needs to be properly addressed to avoid lies to take over our awareness… On this 3 issues, we try and explain what actually is the simple truth but undoubtedly most of what we think to know these days seems manipulated and coiffed to fit power politics of those with influence… So read and judge the rest for yourselves. Firstly, during 15 - 19 of August 1953, Iran's democracy was completely and wantonly destroyed by a from mainly CIA and the cooperation of MI6 instigated coup d'etat and its legitimate Prime Minister removed and replaced   with an until then constitutional Monarch as an absolute Dictator. A secret police was formed through which this dictatorship was upheld for almost 25 years…. Reason for this was safeguarding the flow of Cheap Oil to West and guaranteeing the return of the paid Petrodollars to the west in form of s...

.  So ridiculously true that it hurts !

l Let us do some fact checking,   Iraq has a population of almost 32,000,000 of which are 67 % Shia Muslims and that translates into the number of over 21,000,000 and of the 32, 000,000 we have 18% Kurdish (non-Arab, racially and culturally more Iranian) population which translates into over 5.5,000,000 and that leaves us with about 5.5,000,000 Arab Sunni Muslims.   Of this mentioned number of 5.5 Mil. Sunni-Arab Iraqis, more than 40% (over 2.2 Mil.) are dispersed around the region and/or inside Iraq, and they have demonstrably nothing to do with the extremism claimed and magnified by the western press. That leaves us 3.3 Mil. Arab Sunni Iraqis of who over 50% are politically passive due to reasons of tribal and regional considerations (anyone who knows of the ABC of that region knows what is meant) that leaves just over 1.5 million “eventually” disgruntled Iraqis that need special attention. (Important note here, do NOT mistake in your calculations and include the...

The changing world equilibrium and the obvious problems certain powers are having with Iran, along with their anti Iranian allies and that specially in the last few months, brings inevitably to attention that the Iranian Nuclear case seems to have been chewed through and needs   resolving. But as we move around and change our standpoints, we notice a new agenda on the horizon against Iran and all what is Iranian for whatever reasons… be it regime change or simply irritations or the worst case scenario is,   the hope to disintegrate Iran. (which shall never happen in Iran mind you, but US/UK and Israel seem never tired to promote the cause…. One speculates Scotland to be the Karma thing that might haunt the UK at the end). When you look at the reports on Iran in the sponsored Persian websites of BBC, VOA and Radio Israel… the mention is always of minorities that are under duress or in despair or somehow some monstrosity   that is happening to them in Iran.. be i...
