Mikhail Khodorkovsky: The latest victim of Vladimir Putin's vendetta politics

December 29, 2010 by element115

There was never going to be any other result. In modern-day Russia, challenging Putin is like standing in front of a tank. Either get out of the way or expect – sooner or later – to be flattened.

By refusing to back down, Khodorkovsky has become the latest in a long line of opponents to fall foul of Putin's vendetta politics. It is likely that he will not be the last.

US drone attacks are no laughing matter, Mr Obama

December 29, 2010 by element115

From the moment he stepped foot inside the White House, Obama set about expanding and escalating a covert CIA programme of "targeted killings" inside Pakistan, using Predator and Reaper drones armed with Hellfire missiles (who comes up with these names?) that had been started by the Bush administration in 2004.

...figures compiled by the Pakistani authorities suggest US strikes killed 701 people between January 2006 and April 2009, of which 14 were al-Qaida militants and 687 were civilians. That produces a hit rate of just 2% – or 50 civilians dead for every militant killed.

...the innocent victims of America's secret drone war have become "unpeople", in the words of the historian Mark Curtis – those whose lives are seen as expendable in the pursuit of the west's foreign policy goals. Killed via remote control, they remain unseen and unremembered.

...and they are sounded because once more Israel's invincibility in is question. Despite the triumphant rhetoric in the various media commemorative reports, two years after 'Cast Lead', the sense is that that campaign was as much of a failure as was the second Lebanon war of 2006. Unfortunately, leaders, generals and the public at large in the Jewish State know only one way of dealing with military debacles and fiascos. They can be redeemed only by another successful operation or war but one which has to be carried out with more force and be more ruthless than the previous one with the hope for better results in the next round.

The secretive provincial law relating to Toronto's G20 security fence was likely illegal and unconstitutional, gave police “extravagant” powers and “should never have been enacted,” Ontario Ombudsman André Marin found in a report released Tuesday.

The report also found widespread misapplication of the law, with police stopping, searching and arresting people passing well outside the area to which it applied.

Authorities deliberately kept the public in the dark on the law, Mr. Marin told reporters, in what he called “the most massive compromise of civil liberties in Canadian history” and “amounted to martial law in Toronto.”

WikiLeaks cables: Alexander Litvinenko murder 'probably had Putin's OK'

Vladimir Putin was likely to have known about the operation in London to murder the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko, Washington's top diplomat in Europe alleged in secret conversations in Paris.

WikiLeaks cables claim Vladimir Putin has secret wealth hidden abroad

December 1, 2010 by element115

Putin refused to install a strong successor when he stepped down as president in 2008 because he was afraid he could become the target of "law enforcement investigations".

"...Putin understands that under the system he has created there is no real rule of law and that at any time anyone can be arrested or businesses destroyed."

The opposition leader's predictions were spot on. Putin spurned Ivanov and picked the weaker Dmitry Medvedev, who duly became Russia's president in May 2008, and now, according to further leaked US cables, plays "Robin to Putin's Batman".

WHAT IS GOING ON ????????

November 29, 2010 by element115

The drumbeat of an approaching war with Iran reverberates through U.S. diplomatic documents leaked by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

...the WikiLeak’s trove of stolen U.S. diplomatic cables shows, in unprecedented ways, the growing pressures being put on Washington to find a military solution to Iran’s growing nuclear threat.

Iran’s nuclear program “must be stopped . . . by whatever means necessary.”

...“the U.S. will not be able to avoid a military conflict with Iran, if it is serious in its intention to prevent Tehran from achieving a nuclear weapons capability.”

Arab states simply look the other way, if Israel finally decides to launch a preemptive military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Saudi Arabia and Jordan have already cut secret deals with Israel.

Israeli pilots are also said to have conducted bombing-run drills in the Negev desert.

Israel staged a full dress rehearsal for a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

U.S. officials believe Israel is capable of staging a raid single-handed.

...“a different world” in four to five years.

Israel: "See, we've told you. And now let us attack."

Sick. I feel sick.
We are probably standing on the edge of huge tragedy.

You have chosen to respond in a manner which leads me to conclude that the supposed risks are entirely fanciful and you are instead concerned to suppress evidence of human rights abuse and other criminal behaviour. "

How 250,000 US embassy cables were leaked

November 28, 2010 by element115

The biggest intelligence leak in history !!!

What will emerge in the days and weeks ahead is an unprecedented picture of secret diplomacy as conducted by the planet's sole superpower. There are 251,287 dispatches in all, from more than 250 US embassies and consulates. They reveal how the US deals with both its allies and its enemies – negotiating, pressuring and sometimes brusquely denigrating foreign leaders, all behind the firewalls of ciphers and secrecy classifications that diplomats assume to be secure. The leaked cables range up to the "SECRET NOFORN" level, which means they are meant never to be shown to non-US citizens.

As well as conventional political analyses, some of the cables contain detailed accounts of corruption by foreign regimes, as well as intelligence on undercover arms shipments, human trafficking and sanction-busting efforts by would-be nuclear states

Obama Style Fascism

The first Black president rules very much like the last white president, and “the absence of outrage directed in the right direction makes us more endangered now than in the days when Bush occupied the White House.”

"I am honored to receive this award," Vanunu wrote in reply, adding "I'll receive it on one condition -- that I myself can be personally present to receive it. If you cannot promise me that condition, I prefer that you not give me the prize and leave the option to me when I'm free."

Israeli government claims that it does not spy on the United States are intended for the media and popular consumption. The reality is that Israel’s intelligence agencies target the United States intensively, particularly in pursuit of military and dual-use civilian technology. Among nations considered to be friendly to Washington, Israel leads all others in its active espionage directed against American companies and the Defense Department. It also dominates two commercial sectors that enable it to extend its reach inside America’s domestic infrastructure: airline and telecommunications security. Israel is believed to have the ability to monitor nearly all phone records originating in the United States, while numerous Israeli air-travel security companies are known to act as the local Mossad stations.

And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded,” she told KCBS radio.

Why the Corrupt Few Wreak So Much Death, Destruction, and Suffering on the Rest of us

August 21, 2010 by element115

Perhaps the most important question of our time --> why, throughout human history, have despicable characters repeatedly risen to the pinnacles of power?
The 20th Century alone witnessed an estimated 140 million war deaths and another 16 million from genocide. Mass starvation kills millions in an era when there is plenty enough food to feed the world. And not coincidentally, in the world today 40% of the world’s wealth is held in the hands of 1% of its inhabitants, while the bottom 50% owns only 1% of the world’s wealth. That means that the top 1% owns 40 times more than half the world’s population. There are of course numerous reasons for this sorry state of affairs. But certainly the tremendous wealth and power disparity in the world, along with the abuse of that power by so many who have the most of it explains a great deal. Why have so many despicable characters throughout history acquired the ability to inflict so much suffering on the rest of humanity?

A Case of Decency Deficit in Israeli Society

August 20, 2010 by element115

It is true that in any given population there will always be a range of decency. Some might use the term morality instead of decency, but morality is loaded with too many disputed meanings. The term decency, hopefully, has a broader recognizable footprint. At the lowest end of any range of decency are those who are so egocentric or perverted that they not only act in ways that are harmful to others, but they do so as a form of enjoyment.

Indeed, it would be sheer folly to engage in a new conflict at this juncture despite the threats posed to the region and beyond by the Iranians. But here is the sixty-million-dollar question: just how much of a threat does the Islamic Republic really pose?

And no enwreathed children will greet Americans in the streets with lily-white flower petals.

Why Iran’s Jews are Better Off Than Gaza’s Palestinians

August 19, 2010 by element115

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is demonized in the western media. He is called an anti-Semite and the “new Hitler”. But if those claims are true, then why did the majority of Iran’s Jews vote for Ahmadinejad in recent presidential elections? Could it be that most of what we know about Ahmadinejad is just baseless rumor and propaganda?

25,000 Jews live in Iran. It’s the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. Iranian Jews are not persecuted or abused by the state, in fact, they are protected under Iran’s constitution. They are free to practice their religion and to vote in elections. They are not stopped and searched at checkpoints, they are not brutalized by an occupying army, and they are not herded into a densely-populated penal colony (Gaza) where they are deprived of the basic means of survival. Iranian Jews live in dignity and enjoy the benefits of citizenship.

At that point, John Bolton warned Monday, it will be too late for Israel to launch a military strike against the facility because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian civilians.

You must do what we can’t, because if you don’t, we will

August 12, 2010 by element115

Worried about an Israeli attack on Iran? That’s the idea.

You must do what we can’t, because if you don’t, we will.

This is how some Israelis are trying to twist Washington’s arm to get the US to attack Iran.

A more honest way of making the argument would be to say this: If the US won’t attack Iran, then Israel will — even though it won’t accomplish its military objectives and it will open Pandora’s box. Desperate nations sometimes do desperate things. You have been warned.

Another name for this: blackmail.

August 11, 2010 by element115

The capitalist’s duty is to increase his capital. He has no duty for social betterment or to make sure that his workers have enough to thrive on. While there are many instances of philanthropy from the capitalist class, there is no duty to do such. The state through the U.S. Constitution is given the duty to protect the capitalist’s private property. The poor and working class, without a basic safety net addressing the general welfare, are instead given the gift of freedom. It’s an easy gift to give, since it costs the wealthy nothing.
