The penalisation of the client «prostitutor»

by Tülay Umay

Brussels (Belgium)
The new French law which penalises the clients of prostitutes is supposed to combat prostitution. In reality, it will do no more than move street commerce elsewhere. For the Socialist Party therefore, it is not designed to abolish prostitution, but to install a form of public morality – a morality which is so far removed from daily life that it becomes necessary to impose a double language for the phenomenon. But what if the disturbing problem with prostitution is not sex, but the power of women?

Damascus (Syria)

Everything that international public opinion has believed at one moment or another has been called into question by new elements. Thierry Meyssan attempts here to separate truth from fiction, while asking what the current President al-Sissi is still hiding.

How long will Belgrade seesaw between NATO and Russia?

While a dozen lists are competing for the election of the new Serbian Parliament on 24 April 2016, and the coalition of President Tomislav Nikolić and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić is given winning by the polls, the country has to actually make a choice : should it accept today what he had refused yesterday —is to say an alliance with NATO—, or should it instead return to its traditional alliance with Orthodox Russia?

The «Reform» of Article 11

Rome (Italy)
First published April 12, 2012
A «radical structural reform»: this is how Minister Di Paola defines the revision of the military instrument that the Monti government presented on his proposal. There is no doubt that it is radical. For more than 20 years, bipartisan moles are ferretting out Art. 11 of the Constitution («outlawing war as a tool of attacking the freedoms of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes»).

Obama Rearms

While the Atlanticist press hails the new US doctrine of national security as a willingness to first explore non-military means to resolve conflicts, Thierry Meyssan has read an imperialist profession of faith and a declaration of war on the world.

While the Near East is preparing for a ten-year change in the rules of the game, Thierry Meyssan reveals here the contents of the secret negotiations between Tel-Aviv and Riyadh.
