Saving England Wasn’t Worth It

By Scott Horton Antiwar.com June 30, 2007 Editor's note: Antiwar.com Assistant Editor Scott Horton wrote the following essay for the Oxford Forum, whose editors asked him to contribute a piece on the Anglo-American role in international conflict. Unfortunately, the Forum‘s editors completely rewrote the essay without Horton's permission, distorting its thesis beyond all recognition. It appears here in its full, original version. Most Americans can't believe that their government maintains an...

A Saker interview with Uri Avnery

Hi friends, I just got a small interview with Uri Avnery.  Check it out and take a look at the Gush Shalom brochure he mentions. I hope that this article and interview will make a difference in the mind of those who are used blame "the Jews" for what the Neocons do. (I also have a Hezbollah rep in Iran interviewed on my blog (but obvisouly not be me) I am working on some more interviews.  I will keep you posted. Have a great week-end folks! PS: did Scott do a show on Friday?!  Where is the...

Let’s Launch a Genocide!

Oh, how easy it was to promote a war in those jingoistic days of yore (2001-2003). Here's the ABC News opening theme song to the yet unnamed Gulf War II.  If that's not enough, right below it is the CBS News more aggressive and arabesque theme song. Last and least is the NBC News theme. RPG's and IED'S await! Hoo-ah!

Free software 101, by its (true) father

I have been increasingly amazed, appalled, and amused by self-described "libertarians" using proprietary (and, thus, non-free) software.  I also was baffled by Ron Paul saying that there is nothing wrong with Bill Gates and how he made money (as if good old Bill had become rich by creative genius and free market competition).  That was the only truly silly statement I have heard Ron Paul made ever since I start following him (-: I still send him some money though 🙂 Since I have referred to...

Neocon delusional policies in shambles

First, there is this absolutely must read piece on TomDispatch about the Iraq surge in numbers. Then, who ever thought the Neocons are smart and have some sophisticated "hidden" policy at work in the Middle-East?!  Look - they are so friggin stupid they even sabotage their own policies. You did not think that the bloody chaos in Iraq could get any worse?  Yes, it can! The Turkish military is openly advocating for an invasion of Iraqi Kurdistan. I am telling you - Neocons are plain stupid.  As...

The sacred freedom to be sick, or how Communisto-Fascists threaten our rights

I just saw this on the antiwar blog: Psst! Whole Foods Run by Fascists. Pass It On   Wednesday, June 27th in News, Libertarianism, Culture, Neocons, Lucianne Goldberg's child by Matt Barganier | In an effort to get to the bottom of this whole Whole Foods matter, I urge you to contact the company through this form and ask why they’re such a bunch of fascists. Be sure to include the fact that you heard they are fascists from Jonah Goldberg, whose forthcoming (?) book is titled Liberal...
