Dangerous Crossroads: The Threat of a Pre-emptive Nuclear War directed against Iran | Global Research   SHARE This important article describes how the definition of a nuclear weapon has been changed in an Orwellian manner so that such bombs as bunker busters that contain nuclear yields up to a third of that dropped on Hiroshima are now not considered nuclear, or are considered tactical humanitarian nukes because they go off underground and supposedly limit human casualties.

Militarizing South Korea | Global Research   SHARE Not long ago, North and South Korea enjoyed a period of détente that both believed might ultimately lead to the peninsula's reunification. Under the Bush and Obama administrations, particularly Obama's, South Korea increasingly became entangled in the U.S. missile defense system and the U.S. plan for world hegemony, leading to an end to the North/South détente and the beginning of increasing tensions between the two countries. The result of U.S. involvement led to South Korea's possession and permission to use much more powerful weapons and missiles than it previously could legally own and fire.

Orwell's 1984 Solution to Criminalize War: "If There was Hope, it must Lie in the Proles"   SHARE The author, a professor from Florida Atlantic University, makes the argument using statistics from polls on the Libyan intervention and the possible Syrian intervention to demonstrate that contrary to the popular presumption, the "ignorant sheep" of America are the true anti-imperial force, and the intellectuals are the force for war. He shows that Orwell held the same opinion in his seminal work, "1984."

Colorado Carnage: Proof of Obama Ineptitude   SHARE This article raises the question how America could ever become less violent, gun bans or not, when much of her time is spent in planning and executing violence upon others. Whether we look at the inherent violence within a competitive capitalist society; especially a crony, monopoly capitalism, or expand our vision to the continuous murder of foreign nationals so they too may enjoy our freedoms, the American is exposed to life and death decisions for most of his or her life, leading to diminished respect for human life. What the Colorado butchery proves is not the need for gun control, better predictive psychology, or longer sentences yet, but the complete revolution in American thinking that comes about through learning to cooperate for success, rather than competing to benefit themselves.

POLICE STATE USA: The Paranoid Style of American Governance   SHARE A history of domestically oppressive legislation in the United States, with an emphasis on the enabling legislation since 911 that eliminates all civil and political rights guaranteed Americans by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and bears a striking resemblance to the Third Reich's own Enabling Act and Reichstag Fire Decree, which together abolished habeas corpus, German civil and political liberty, the power of the German legislative branch, and ultimately established Adolph Hitler as dictator of the Third Reich.

Salem-News.com Under Attack Over Articles Revealing Suspected Illegal Nuclear Weapon Use - Salem-News.Com   SHARE Salem-News.com claims it is under attack by the well-known depleted uranium apologist, Roger Helbig, for two articles Tim King wrote questioning whether the US and Israel used enhanced uranium in attacks in Iraq and Palestine. Helbig allegedly sends inflammatory emails to advertisers who sponsor websites that dare to question the safety of the use of depleted uranium, or question whether the US or Israel might have used small neutron bombs in Fallujah and Gaza. OpEd News, itself, in the past, has been on the receiving end of the retired former Air Force Lt.Col's tactic of directing smear campaigns against a website's advertising base. While OpEd News cannot take sides on the specific issues raised in the Salem-News/Helbig debate, OpEd News does stand in solidarity with Salem-News that critics of DU and Israeli policy should not be called "Nazi's" and punished for mere healthy debate.

Ocean acidity increasing at unprecedented rate not seen in last 300 million years   SHARE In a new study marine scientists have warn that the rate of ocean acidification presently occurring is unprecedented in the last 300 million years. This is due to dissolving carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, much of which human activity has contributed over the last 200 years through the use of fossil fuels. The extent and rate of acidification enhances the prospect for a mass marine extinction event this century. Research in paleoclimatology and oceanography has revealed that anthropogenic climate change is driving Ocean Acidification threatening marine ecosystems.

"Planetary Genocide": Fukushima One Year Later : The Poisoning of Planet Earth   SHARE Government concealment of the actual radioactive damage to the environment and the human race from the Fukushima meltdowns hides the fact that the biosphere, the food chain, and the race are on the brink of destruction. Corporate profits motivate decisions to continue to pollute the world with thousands of chemicals and massive amounts of radiation which life can no longer sustain. We must see these events not as individual decisions, but as the result of a system which no longer works to preserve our habitat and our lives, but to end them. We still have time to change, but we must act quickly.

Afghans besiege US bases in Koran protests   SHARE With the recent riots in Afghanistan, touched off by American soldiers burning a pile of Qur'ans, killing two GI's, at least 15 Afghanis, and injuring numerous others, the American occupying force and the Karsai government appear on the precipice of the absolute loss of all popular support. This imperial faux pas arrives shortly after photos surfaced of American troops urinating on Afghani corpses, and two recent accidental attacks upon Afghani schools, killing several young children. Pushed to the point of breaking, for three days all across Afghanistan, an enraged populace, from elderly men to school children, attempted to storm American military bases with mere stones as weapons.
