Majority of Eastern Germans Feel Life Better under Communism

Glorification of the German Democratic Republic is on the rise two decades after the Berlin Wall fell. Young people and the better off are among those rebuffing criticism of East Germany as an “illegitimate state.” In a new poll, more than half of former eastern Germans defend the GDR.

We didn’t Know …

The level of ignorance about the true number of deaths our militaries are causing in Afghanistan and Iraq is simply staggering. I’m just watching BBC Question Time when the deaths of British soldiers is mentioned. No mention, of course, of the MILLIONS of civilian deaths in Afghanistan! It is frightening to see how the secrecy of our pathological, imperialist rulers is keeping the truth from the public.

After WWII many Germans claimed they never knew about the concentration camps. Few believed them. But now it’s OUR turn to say the same about Iraq and Afghanistan: “We didn’t know” …

Major 9/11 Truth Breakthrough: KBDI Denver Airs 9/11 Press for Truth

Afghan Genocide: An Open Letter by Dr Gideon Polya

In Occupied Afghanistan post-invasion non-violent excess deaths (avoidable deaths from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease) total 3 million; post-invasion violent excess deaths (assuming the same ratio of post-invasion violent/non-violent excess deaths as in Occupied Iraq of 1.3) total 4 million; post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths total 3-7 million; post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 2.3 million; post-invasion avoidable under- 5 infant deaths (90% are avoidable) total 2.1 million; 3-4 million refugees have been generated plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun refugees from the NW Province of Pakistan under Obama war policies – an Afghan Holocaust and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention.

Chimes of Freedom: Four Years On

Next week is the fourth anniversary of this blog which I started just after the 7/7 bombings in London. Like others I found it difficult to believe in the inconsistencies which amounted to the official conspiracy story that four home-grown, north country terrorists had built the bombs with chapatti flour and fertilizer and then blown themselves up on a London subway train and double-decker bus. It seemed very much to be London’s 911 and no more credible than the events in New York and Madrid. All three had about them the ominous stench of state-sponsored terrorism.

By its nature this is a form of terrorism which governments cannot admit to. Indeed, everything is done by the government propaganda machines to ridicule any who dare to suggest the existence of state-sponsored terrorism. The public isn’t meant to know anything about the psychopathic nature of state control. Historical phenomena like NATO’s Operation Gladio which used terrorism as a method of destabilisation in friendly countries is simply not discussed by the mainstream media. Ask the MSM about the Bologna bombings and you’ll be told anything but the truth. Yet Operation Gladio was real and accounted for the deaths of many innocents.

With events in New York, Bali, Madrid, London and Bombay and the consequent fabrication of a ‘War on Terror’ –a fabrication created by the gangsters in the Bush regime and supported wholeheartedly by its puppets like Blair and Aznar– state-sponsored terrorism reached new levels of sophistication with a CIA-sponsored ghost army of international, Islamist terrorists in the ubiquitous Al Qaeda replacing the defunct Soviet Union as the West’s new public enemy. In the name of Bush’s phoney ‘War on Terror’ several million innocents –mainly Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan– have died in what have been wars of terror instigated and fuelled by an Anglo-American imperialism. How clever has been the USUK propaganda machine to invert reality on its head and to persuade its public that the very opposite of the truth is to be believed! Lone voices such as that of the Australian, Dr Gideon Polya, who expose the murderous nature of Anglo-American imperialism are simply ignored. We, after all, are the good guys. And good guys don’t commit war crimes.

But according to Dr Polya, the USUK and its allies have been responsible for the deaths of over 8 million Iraqis and Afghanis since Gulf War I. Eight million. That’s worse than anything the Nazis accomplished in their concentration camps. The Nazis were tried as war criminals. Not so the Bushes, the Blairs, the Browns and the Aznars. It seems that you have to be on the losing side to be a war criminal. In the real world it turns out that the rule of law is extremely selective: more the rule of the rulers to be used as a legal weapon with which to bludgeon the ruled.

More and more it is the blogosphere that is achieving a reputation for exposing government and for telling the truth like it is. Many of us had hoped that once Bush and Blair had gone that the truth about their criminal nature would catch up with them. That hasn’t quite happened yet. They seem to have done a deal with their successors to leave matters lie and “to go forward” as the fake Obama puts it. Their world, it seems, can’t deal with too much of the truth. It is now in danger of collapsing. Which only goes to show how fragile are the shifting sands of the falsities upon which it has all been built.

I await this blog’s fifth anniversary next year to see how far the sands will have shifted.

What if the Uighurs were Christian rather than Muslim?

For all the serious analysis about the War on Terror, so much of it has been driven by nothing more complex or noble than sheer hostility towards Muslims. Muslims generally — not just Al Qaeda — replaced Communists as our New Enemy and became the new enabling force for our endless state of War and never-ending expansions of executive power. Rather obviously, the Uighurs were swept into the Enemy category solely by virtue of their status as Muslims. What more compelling evidence of that could be imagined than the fact that we imprisoned — and continue to imprison — people at Guantanamo whose only political interest is in resisting oppression by the Chinese government?

Israel pisses on Britain (again) – and our craven leaders love it

Stuart Littlewood considers Israel’s latest act of piracy on the high seas – the seizure of an aid ship bound for Gaza and the kidnapping of its passengers and crew – and highlights the complicity of the British government, which is forever fighting a rear-guard action on behalf of Israel.

A Cameron Government would be led by Hawks

The Iraq war is widely discredited. George W Bush and Tony Blair are both out of office. Barack Obama has talked of a “new beginning” in his country’s relationship with the Islamic world. Surely it’s game over for the neocons, the small group of hardline hawks commonly held responsible for the US-led attack on Iraq in 2003?

Don’t bet on it. If, as bookmakers believe, an overall majority for the Conservatives in the next election is a racing certainty, then the proponents of ‘Shock and Awe’ will once again be back in the corridors of power in Britain.

Demonising Iran conveniently hides Uncomfortable Truths for the West

Here’s the nub of it. Iran opposes the US military presence in the region, and vigorously supports resistance to Israeli expansionism. On these two points, the Iranian regime is closer than any other to the true sentiments of Middle Easterners.

And this, fundamentally, is why Iran is imagined to be such a problem in the West: because it’s a Venezuela or a Cuba of a country. Iran is troublesome not because it’s any more obscurantist or dictatorial than its neighbours, but because it is less submissive.
