U.S. Contingency Plans To Attack Iran Readied in 2005 Plans were drawn up in the Pentagon in the event of war with Iran that included an assault using both conventional and nuclear weapons. Professor Chossudovsky says if war breaks out the Pentagon may well employ these weapons.

U.S. and/or Israel Far More Likely To Attack Iran Than Iran to Attack Israel Put in historical perspective, Israel is far more liable to attack Iran than other way around. U.S./Israeli military budget is 700 times as great as what Iran spends.

Cut Off Aid To Israel If It Attacks Iran A compelling case can be made for termination of all U.S. aid to Israel based on its treatment of Palestinians as well as its threats of war against Iran.

Liberal Magazine Urges Obama To Quit Afghanistan Now How is it that the U.S. disposed of three industrial powers in less than four years in World War Two but cannot defeat insurgent forces in predominantly rural Afghanistan in more than a decade? If you didn't know any better, you might suspect the war was designed to feed the military-industrial complex budgets, an activity at which it has succeeded admirably.

Pentagon Continuing Foreign Base Expansion As it has 1,000 military bases on its own soil for defense, why does the U.S. need 1,100 bases abroad if not for the purpose of aggression? Nothing like this agglomeration of military power has ever been seen in human history---and its presence threatens to put an end to human history as well.

National Outrage over Killing of Trayvon Martin In spite of all the civil rights movement has achieved, a descriptive term that can still be applied to Black communities today, unfortunately, remains "plight." The statistics on Black-white disparities in income, housing, justice, and education remain profound.

On The National Outrage Over Trevon Martin Slaying The outrage over the killing of Trevon Martin needs to be transformed into action to rectify four centuries of racial injustice that afflicts America to this very day, and which President Obama, like his predecessors, has chosen to ignore.

A Little Unfinished Business in the Middle East While the shortcomings of the U.S. economy appear to have absorbed the attention of our presidential candidates, not a word of remorse, much less concern, has been uttered by them about the damage inflicted on Afghanistan and Iraq.

Obama Has No Apologies For His Own Massacres When President Obama signs off on a drone strike he assumes a personal responsibility for the outcome. Sgt. Robert Bales is imprisoned for his alleged role in the Kandahar massacre but President Obama has killed many more than 16---in fact, many hundreds----through his drone strikes.

Assange: Pentagon Attempts To Quash Coverage With "Espionage" Charges If the Pentagon has its way, reporters will only be allowed to write up handouts from its press office.It will be bringing espionage charges against any reporter who obtains classified information. That will be a real problem for the media as the Pentagon likes to label everything "classified." If Thomas Paine is looking down from up high he's probably covering his eyes.

Israel's Urgent Existential Threat Is From Within Although Israeli politicians point to Iran's alleged development of a nuclear weapon as an "existential threat," the urgent threat of this nature is from within, from right-wing elements, The New Yorker magazine reports.

CIA Drone Strikes Targeting Funerals, First Responders It's hard to think of any way to instill greater anti-U.S. hatred in the Middle East than to attack the funerals of drone strike victims or to assassinate the first responders who rush to the rescue of the living. But that's what the CIA is doing and authorities say the practice constitutes war crimes.

Is America a Police State? You know you live in a police state when the president orders the assassination (i.e., murder) of American citizens without bothering to arrest them and bring them to trial. You know you live in a police state when police forces across the country attack unarmed and non-violent citizen protesters with pepper spray and clubs.

The New American Police State There are few, if any, areas left of a citizen's life in which the Federal government cannot probe. There is no citizen in the nation upon which the government cannot spy, remove from his or her abode and incarcerate indefinitely or for life in military detention. This article provides just a glance at some of the many areas in which a despotic government seeks to control its citizens as well as dominate the world.

U.S. May Have Played Role in Jamaica's 2010 Tivoli Massacre Given the U.S. government's capacity for obfuscation and outright lying, Washington's denial of making "operational decisions" during the 2010 assault in Kingston, Jamaica, are suspect. There is no doubt, however, that the U.S. provided intelligence information for the assault that killed more than 70 civilians.
