THE HERESY OF THE GREEKS OFFERS HOPE

John Pilger

inverts the perception of Greece as a "junk country" and sees hope in the uprising of ordinary Greeks protesting against the "bailout" of an economy plunged into debt by the tax-evading rich. Greece, he writes, is a microcosm for the developed world, where class war are the words seldom used because… Continue

After Greece now Hungary Admits: We Cooked The Books

Jun 4 2010,

Is Obama's Order to Massively Use Drone Attacks a Violation of the Law of Nations?

I've been a critic of the use of drone attacks since day one. Every such attack has constituted a violation of the Geneva Accords and the law of nations.

Killing civilians and Taliban suspects in this manner obviously are criminal acts… Continue

What if it Were Your Child?

Almost every subject can be argued

two ways, especially when the subject at hand is as controversial as the

Palestinian-Israeli conflict. No matter how unjust the Israeli siege on

the Gaza Strip is, there will always be those biased souls that justify

it with the "Hamas terrorists" argument and the hackneyed Israeli

pretext of state security. However, one subject, which cannot possibly

have a flip side to it, is the torture of… Continue
