Wikileaks Cables on Israel's Gaza Onslaught

Kathleen Christison | 20-01-2011 01:13 | History | Palestine | Terror War | Sheffield | World

CounterPunch has accessed Wikileaks’ file of cables on Israel’s Gaza assault  http://www.counterpunch.org/wikigazacables.html two years ago (Operation Cast Lead, December 27, 2008 through January 18, 2009). Though the cables often simply rehash Israeli press reporting, providing little new insight into Israel’s attack or the planning behind it, they show with pitiless clarity the U.S. government to be little more than a handmaiden and amanuensis of the Israeli military machine.

Officer A

quiteliketheguardianactually | 13-01-2011 09:32 | History | Repression | Sheffield | World

Last night's guardian article about another undercover officer below - sorry to repost but this seems like useful information to me. So are we keeping to the guardian's 'gentlemen's agreement' with the police not to be open about who this officer A is? Is it just for those that 'need to know'? Please just post her name and face someone.

TomM | 06-01-2011 13:22 | Analysis | History | Technology | Sheffield

Obama’s reign of terror in Afghanistan

James Cogan | 05-01-2011 01:53 | Afghanistan | Anti-militarism | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

2010 was the bloodiest year of the now nine-year conflict in Afghanistan and the tribal border regions of Pakistan. Under the command of General David Petraeus, a massively expanded US and NATO force is waging a campaign of extermination against various ethnic Pashtun and Taliban-linked insurgent movements that have not accepted the foreign invasion of their country.

Washington’s “humanitarian” war and the KLA’s crimes

Paul Mitchell and Chris Marsden | 03-01-2011 11:39 | History | Terror War | Sheffield

Revelations of fascistic crimes carried out by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) prior to, during and after NATO’s war against the former Yugoslavia should provide a salutary lesson whenever Washington again cites humanitarian concerns to justify its predatory war aims.

UG#530 - Exploiting Human Resources (20th Century Control Hierarchies)

Robin Upton | 19-12-2010 11:25 | Analysis | History | Repression | Sheffield

Audio
This week we hear a radio adaptation of Scott Noble's 2 hour video documentary, Human Resources, supplemented by some remarks of John Taylor Gatto on the history of forced schooling. Human Resources charts the rise of social control by large organisations in the 20th century, focusing on the use of behaviourism and eugenics. It tells how the moneyed elite sidelined ethical concerns as they funded increasingly destructive experiments into the manipulation of individuals and populations. Focusing on USA, we see how initial research results such as the Hawthorn Effect and the frustration-aggression hypothesis paved the way for more destructive research such as MK-ULTRA carried out on citizens by the military and the CIA in the name of 'national security'.

Screening of Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo in Sheffield

2%Human | 30-11-2010 12:45 | Guantánamo | History | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield

Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo


Is new documentary telling the story of Guantánamo: torture, extraordinary rendition and secret prisons. Examining how the Bush administration turned its back on domestic and international law, rounding up prisoners in Afghanistan and Pakistan without adequate screening and often for large bounty payments. Focusing on the stories of three prisoners, Shaker Aamer, Binyam Mohamed and Omar Deghayes, 'Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo' is powerful rebuke to the myth that Guantánamo holds “the worst of the worst”.

(Spectacle Productions, 2009; 75 mins., directed by Polly Nash and Andy Worthington)



Omar Deghayes (Guantanamo 'Detainee') and Poly Nash (Director) will be present to introduce the film.

Racism, Religion, and the American and UK Armed Forces Decision to use DU

Roddy Newman | 10-11-2010 13:11 | Health | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Racism, Religion, and the American and UK Armed Forces Decision to use Uranium Munitions in their Wars in Iraq, the Balkans, and Afghanistan

While there has been much debate about the wars in Iraq, the Balkans, and
Afghanistan, the most important aspect of those conflicts, the clearly
racist, and religiously motivated decision by the American and UK armed
forces to use depleted uranium, and non-depleted uranium munitions which
have irradiated those 3 mostly Muslim, or large minority Muslim places with
enough inhalable radioactive material to kill millions of people, is rarely
mentioned in the major media, which ought to regard the nuclear wars that
the American and UK armed forces have fought over the last 19 years, as the
biggest scandal of modern times, because there is concrete scientific proof
that those wars could kill more civilians than the Holocaust, as I will now
explain.
