US Cities Increasing Use of Armed Mercenaries to Replace Police

26 April 2009
From Iraq to the streets of American cities, the deployment of private security forces - including Israeli commandos - to take the place of police officers has spiked significantly and is raising grave concerns. Few areas have seen as dramatic a transformation to privatized services as the world of intelligence and domestic law enforcement. This is an ominous, accelerating trend which thrives on US tax-payer money and prospers in a legal limbo devoid of clear regulatory criteria or accountability mechanisms, leaving the door open for serious abuses. In the words of former CIA division chief and senior analyst Melvin Goodman: "the entire industry is essentially out of control; it’s dangerous!".

Glorifying Nazism in the Baltic States

Glorifying Nazism in the Baltic States

10 March 2009
Reportedly, neo-Nazi sentiment has been on the rise and Nazism is glorified in the Baltic countries and Ukraine. Monuments to the Soviet Army soldiers who defended the world against the Nazi plague during the Second World War are relocated or pulled down, while former SS-men, involved in mass-scale extermination of people are glorified.

Campaign to close down School of the Americas

Campaign to close down School of the Americas

5 March 2009
A crowd of protesters gathers around the giant peace puppet during the Close-the-SOA procession at the School of the Americas protest at Fort Benning, Ga., the weekend of Nov. 21, 2003.
While the US commits 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan, in part to seek out terrorist training camps, many in the US and Latin America are demanding that President Obama shut down what they believe is a terrorist training camp run on US tax dollars, the School of the Americas. One such person is Pablo Ruiz, (...)

Latvian President Rehabilitates Nazism

Paris (France) | 16 March 2005
On March 16, 2005, a Waffen SS demonstration took place in the capital of a state that recently became a member of the European Union and NATO: Latvia. Authorities decided to allow it and to repress the citizens who protested. Far from being an isolated action, this event represents the culmination of a process, which aims at denying the disappearance of Nazism and rehabilitating it, led by the president of the Republic, Vaira Vike-Freiberga and openly financed by the Embassy of the United States. It takes place after Nazi parties have assumed power in different “democratized” states like, for instance, Ukraine.

U.S.: War Crimes in Iraq

Samarra, Martyr City

Samarra, Martyr City

6 October 2004
Faced with a people’s uprising, the Anglo-Saxon Coalition resorts to the counterinsurgent classic methods: to blindly strike the civil population, to terrorize it in order to dissuade it from getting involved with the resistance. While the war has officially ended and Saddam Hussein’s army has been broken up, bombardments have been resumed not against military targets but against civilians. By preventing the journalists from entering the massacre areas, the Coalition multiplies the war crimes without witnesses.

Sasakawa, a Respected War Criminal

17 May 2004
Leader of a Japanese fascist party, Ryoichi Sasakawa developed a private army to exploit Manchuria and Mongolia. Convicted of the worst crimes during World War II, he was not tried by the Allies but he was retrained by the United States for their struggle against Communism. With the support of criminal organizations, the yakusas, he took control of the ruling Liberal Party and amassed one of the biggest fortunes of the world. Converted into a benefactor of the human race, he financed a philanthropic organization that equally served to implement his political conceptions in Third World countries.

The World Anti-Communist League: the Internationale of Crime

The World Anti-Communist League: the Internationale of Crime

Paris (France) | 12 May 2004
The World Anti-Communist League (WACL) was established in Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek, Reverend Moon and Nazi and Japanese war criminals. It was first used under Nixon to spread counter-insurrectionary measures in South East Asia and Latin America. At that time, seven Heads of State participated at its meetings. It experienced a new lease of life under Reagan, becoming a shared instrument of the US industrial-military matrix and the CIA during the Cold War. It was then in charge of political assassinations and training counter-guerrillas in all conflict zones, including Afghanistan where it was represented by Osama Bin Laden.
