Nukes:  The balance of terror

Hameed Abdul Karim

Behind all the war rhetoric emanating from the Western powers the one that is drilled into the minds of an already brainwashed people is that Iran is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb. For this we have to believe the very same liars who told us Saddam Hussein had WMDs. Assuming the West is speaking the truth for once, then world sympathy should be with Iran.

'How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn't see'

- Bob Dylan

The line from Bob Dylan's immortal song 'Blowin' in the Wind' made famous by legends like Stevie Wonder and the trio Peter, Paul and Mary and himself among others takes on a new and poignant relevancy in the context of Israel's vicious attacks on the Palestinians in Gaza.

The man who is supposed to see the misery of the Palestinians and do something to redress their plight as they suffer yet another Israeli pogrom is the UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon. Instead he comes in front of TV cameras and repeats the mantra that Israel has the right to defend itself against terror and then went on to blame regional players who he claims have not done enough to bring peace to the Middle East with nary a word of criticism of Israel.

HOLLYWOOD - SOURCE FOR WESTERN IMPERIALISM

MTV an unwitting tool for Western propaganda?

Hollywood - source for Western imperialism

Hameed Abdul Karim

"Those who tell the stories also rule society"

- Plato in his 'Republic' 

This may surprise many, but Hollywood is the leading propagandistic source for Western imperialism. In other words, Hollywood is the sleek and sophisticated PR Company working hand in glove with the West's ruling elite along with other section of the print and electronic media. 

Jack Shaheen gives evidence of this in his book The Reel Arabs - How Hollywood Vilifies a People when he quotes an incident where then Defense Secretary William Cohen hosted a dinner for Hollywood luminaries at a cost of US $ 295,000 because, according to the US Government, Hollywood helped immensely in creating a favourable atmosphere for recruiting. 

WAS NETANYAHU TELLING THE TRUTH TO CHRISTIANS?

Was Netanyahu Telling the Truth to Christians?

Hameed Abdul Karim

In his fire and brimstone speech to the joint session of the US Congress and Senate, Benjamin Netanyahu bragged that in his country Christians were free to practice their faith without let or hindrance to a thunderous standing ovation. Amongst the audience there were the born-again evangelical Christians in the assembly to whom loyalty to their country was second to Israel.

But Netanyahu was not speaking the truth.

Spitting at Christians

For starters he should have told the ‘august assembly’ that Israeli Jews believe it is their religious duty to spit at Christians to gain a few brownie points for the hereafter and that the Jewish state has turned a blind to this practice for years.  

ANNAPOLIS: GANGING UP ON IRAN

Annapolis: Ganging up on Iran?

The Annapolis circus has ended. Its objective was achieved. And the objective was anything but peace for the Palestinians. The whole charade was to give George Bush the good guy image after polls showed a further dip in his ratings. The idea was to project him as a man of peace so that when he attacks Iran, the corporate media can portray him as a good guy trying to save the world from Iran. The build up against Iran will continue to develop on all fronts as the days go by. There isn’t going to be any let up in the hostile propaganda against Iran. And they are going to throw everything they’ve got. Never mind the American intelligence report about Iran not having any programme of manufacturing a nuke bomb as a deterrent to Israel’s vast nuclear arsenal.

Pitting Muslims against one another Hameed Abdul Karim

Saudi King Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz, second left, talks to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, right, as Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, center, and Amr Moussa, Secretary General of the Arab League look on during a group picture of Arab leaders before their summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Wednesday, March 28, 2007 which was expected to focus on how to revive Middle East peace efforts. (AP) The other day Al-Jazeera featured a former MI5 agent who confirmed what many people know. He confessed the British intelligence units stoked conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland and got them to go for each other's throats. MI5 got the results they wanted. Strife and bloodshed followed and a 'compassionate' London had to intervene to bring about stability in the strife torn land. Or that's how the story went in the corporate media.

THE TRUE PICTURE OF BEN GURION

The Sunday Observer, a government owned paper, published an article painting Israel's first Prime Minister David Ben Gurion as a great humanist on 13 February 2011. Ben Gurion's crimes against the Palestinian people, especially the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, are well known. We wrote a rejoinder, but the paper did not publish our response.The author, Uditha Kumarasinghe, unabashedly profess he was on a tour of Israel suggesting his trip was paid for by the 'Jewish' state. Please read on.     The True Picture of David Ben Gurion Hameed Abdul Karim I was horrified when I read Uditha Kumarasinghe’s article praising David Ben Gurion in an attempt to revise history in the Sunday Observer of 13 February 2011. Ben Gurion was no saint as Mr. Kumarasinghe would have us believe. It is well know that it was Ben Gurion who masterminded the expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and farmlands when the Zionists and the Western world joined hands to wipe Palestine off the map of the world.
