Blair's Legacy... and the "Struggle Against Violent Extremism"

Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed | 14-05-2007 14:15 | Analysis | History | Iraq | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Finally. Blair’s going. But why now? And what has Blair left us behind?

There are many reasons one can guess as to why, but perhaps one of the biggest – yet least talked about – is the “cash for peerages” criminal investigation, which has been getting rather close to home, too close perhaps for Blair’s comfort.

Empire as a Way of Life, Part 6

Chris | 05-05-2007 19:42 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

The current imperial slaughter in the Middle East, justified by the "Global War on Terror", that has resulted in at least 600,000 deaths in Iraq, is nothing new — the U.S. Empire has a long and sordid history of genocidal mass murder.

The history of the US imperialism and Empire is the subject of a series of ten monthly seminars from Dr John Marciano, "Empire as a Way of Life". Attached is a recording of the third of these seminars and the text upon which it was based. The first 7 of these seminars have taken place and the intention is to have the whole series published on this site; the last 3 will take place between now and June.

This seminar, recorded on 20th Feburary 2006 by the L.A. Sound Posse, runs for 45 minutes and includes the discussion following. It has been made available under a Creative Commons license. If this recording is broadcast please let the L.A. Sound Posse know. This recording was originally made available on the A-Infos Radio Project site.

The following text has been reproduced here with the kind permission of Dr John Marciano and he can be contacted at johnmarciano@mac.com. He introduced this series of seminars in the following way:

A fundamental purpose of our meetings is to understand the systemic nature of the U.S. Empire and the economic and military imperialism that is its lifeblood. The historian William Appleman Williams argues that empire became "a way of life" in the U.S., a "combination of patterns of thought and action that, as it becomes habitual and institutionalized, defines the thrust and character of a culture and society." This "way of life" has convinced many U.S. "Americans" they have a right or "manifest destiny" to impose their political and economic policies upon others.

Dr John Marciano is Professor Emeritus, State University of New York at Cortland, where he taught courses on social and historical foundations of education and class, gender and race.

The American Empire and 9/11

David Ray Griffin | 04-05-2007 22:50 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | Sheffield | World

"After the attacks of 9/11, I accepted the blowback thesis, according to which the attacks were revenge for U.S. foreign policy. This view led me to undertake an extensive study of the American empire, the very reality of which had been an embattled issue."

Fascist America, in 10 easy steps

Hawkeye | 24-04-2007 23:29 | Analysis | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield | World

It's not fascism when we do it...
On the internet people have been pointing out that the USA (and the UK not that far behind) is sliding into fascism, but this isn't something that the mainstream media will touch, after all they are a part of the problem. The following article by Naomi Wolf, published in the Guardian today is an exception to this and although reposts from the mainstream are rightly frowned upon here this article does deserve being an exception to the rule.

It is interesting to contrast the following article with the view of the USA that some on the UK left have, for example Mark Osbourn of the AWL considers that John Pilger has a "pathological hatred of the western powers which leads to the repeated and idiotic allusion that the US/UK leaders bear a similarity to Nazis":  http://www.workersliberty.org/node/8239 The article by John Pilger that Mark Osbourn is refering to can be read here:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/02/361472.html

Four days of “simulated” nuclear terrorist scenarios in the US & Europe

i18n | 20-04-2007 21:56 | Terror War | Sheffield | World

The following article describes planned terror drills, these are sadly worth paying some attention to due to the number of drills that were occuring on 9/11.

Could the following be describing 'The Pentagon's "Second 911"'  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/08/347527.html and could the response be '"Theatre Iran Near Term" (TIRANNT)'  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/02/362980.html as predicted by 'MI6 Iran Disinfo: The Prelude to War?'  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/02/361578.html

Let's hope not...
