Peak Food: Blaming the Victims
(1 comments) As food prices rise, the blame game begins. Consumers, Third World breeding, the unrestrained CO2 emissions of irresponsible individuals, among other miscreants, are frequently pinpointed -- almost everyone except the real culprits: the global corporate food industry. Welcome to a dangerous, escalatingly expensive new era of food scarcity --from which even us Westerners have no escape.

The Crisis of Perception
Underlying our crises of energy depletion, runaway climate catastrophe, escalating conflict and rampant corporatism, is more than just a crisis of values -- it is a fundamental crisis of perception; the failure of the global system reflects our failure to understand who, where and why we are. But a paradigm shift in the physical sciences is pushing us toward a perspective of life that is holistic, ethical and interconnected.

Capitalism, Consumerism and Materialism: The Value Crisis
(4 comments) All our global economic, ecological, energy and other crises are reflections of an underlying deeper malaise; a crisis of values, erupting from the fundamentalist theology of market doctrine which reduces life to mindless materialistic categories. It's not just that our societies are unjust; it's that this injustice is making us physically and mentally ill. Something's gotta give...

The Hidden Holocaust-Our Civilizational Crisis Part 2: EXPORTING DEMOCRACY
In part 1, we showed how the modern world system was built on 500 years of genocidal violence against indigenous peoples. In this follow-up, we reveal how this "hidden holocaust" has intensified since 1945, with the birth of a new imperial order. The new "holocaust" is occurring across the "Third World" as you read. One of its latest victims is Iraq, where an Anglo-American "holocaust" has raged for over 90 years.

The Hidden Holocaust--Our Civilizational Crisis Part 1: The Holocaust in History
(8 comments) There is a holocaust going on, as you read. It simmers beneath the surface of current events. In fact, it's being going on for over 500 years. Globalization is, to be more precise, the legacy of a 500-year global killing machine. And we are its benefactors. This is the first in a series of articles on the global crises afflicting our civilization, past and present.

WHOSE BOMBS?
(1 comments) Anomalies, inconsistencies and lies plague British and American official accounts of the "terror" incidents sparked since Friday 29 June. The lack of Western casualties contrasts with NATO simultaneous civilian massacres in Afghanistan and Iraq. But worse, credible sources reveal astonishing links between al-Qaeda networks in the Middle East and the Bush administration; and a gut-wrenching plan to provoke a resource war.

Blair's Legacy... Violent Extremism
Blair resigned hot on the heels of a criminal investigation into financial corruption at the heart of his govt. An investigation that could be compromised by the same man, Attorney-General Lord Goldsmith, who helped Blair launch a new episode in the Protracted Holocaust in Iraq by advising that War would be legal without the UN. Thanks in part to Blair, the number of dead Iraqis has risen to 8 million.

Inside the Crevice: 7/7 and the Security Debacle
(1 comments) British security services are congratulating themselves over the conviction of five British Muslims on terrorism charges.

To Veil or Not to Veil: Is that the Question?
(1 comments) Jack Straw's opportunistic pronouncements about British Muslim women who freely choose to veil their face, veils the far deeper and entrenched causes of community separation and polarisation -- caused not by wearing a piece of cloth -- but by the institutionally racist policies of New Labour. One also wonders about Straw's ommission of massive repression of Muslim women under US-occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Muslim Problem
(1 comments) Muslims are a problem. Or rather, it seems, they are the perennial problem of our times. The last few weeks and months has seen a dramatic escalation in anti-Muslim hostility from key western political and religious figures. Repression of Muslims inside western Europe is conjoined to imperial violence against Muslim nations abroad. Are back in the 1930s?

Bush's Macabre Dance of Death with Bin Laden (or "why we're all losers in this 'war'")
Bush, Blair and Bin Laden seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet. The implications are worth contemplating. Muslims and non-Muslims, moreover, seem to be waking up to this odd reality, and moving away from all the three stooges...
