2007-10-23 18:26 Turkey is a thorn in the side of a cosy western consensus
By Slavoj Zizek, international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities (THE GUARDIAN, 23/10/07): Recent days have seen Dick Cheney and Tony Blair point belligerent fingers at Tehran, but both spoke in the slipstream of Bernard Kouchner, who a month ago warned the world that it should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme. "We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," said the French minister of foreign affairs. The swell of rhetoric - which culminated in Preside …

2007-10-19 05:16 Sod You, Broon...
Ah, the tabloids... Bless them. Just when you think no newspaper can keep a healthier stable of high horses than the New York Times, Fleet Street reminds one that humbug and sanctimony are both alive and well in London. Gordon Brown just made his life more difficult. If he does renege upon Labour's promise to hold a referendum upon the EU constitution treaty - even in its revised "non-treaty" form- he's made an enemy of Britain's best-selling paper, The Sun. Good. Here's what The Sun says today …

2007-10-18 20:00 We must stand up to this cynical stitch-up
By Camilla Cavendish (THE TIMES, 18/10/07): Tonight, Europe s leaders will be picking over some Euro-trivia along with their hors d oeuvres. The Austrians are worried that Germany might nick their medical students. The Poles want an extra court official on the European Court of Justice. The Bulgarians want to use the word œevro instead of œeuro which has upset the European Central Bank. These are, apparently, the last stumbling blocks to agreement on the draft EU treaty. No one at this dinne …

2007-10-11 21:19 Lose The L.O.S.T.!!
By "popular" demand, Snooper brings you: What is L.O.S.T. The Law of The Sea Treaty was drawn up by The United Nations. That, in and of itself, is reason enough to oppose this treaty. to truly understand LOST, there is a video series here and therein one will find the treaty and the ramifications thereof fully explained. The treaty would subject the United States to the authority of the United nations. This is totally unacceptable. We have been fighting for years to prevent Senate ratification o …

2007-10-10 23:29 What We Knew Then
Today is the fifth anniversary of Congress's fateful vote on the Authorization to Use Military Force. It was the war declaration that wasn't, a document so expansively vague in its granting of power to the President that it's now being used to justify war on Iran. It's infuriating to remember that most of us knew at the time that this was the single most important vote those representatives and senators would confront in the course of their entire legislative careers. Many of us were very clear …

2007-10-10 00:08 Loose lips
William Hague, paying careful attention to transcripts, yesterday in the House of Commons -- Mr. Hague: No one believes the Foreign Secretary any more when he argues that this is not the EU constitution. When the Prime Minister met the Irish Prime Minister on 17 July, even he referred to it as the European constitution. It was actually on the 16th, but yes indeed: Prime Minister: Can I say first of all what a pleasure it is to be here in Belfast with the Taoiseach for this meeting of the British …

2007-10-09 12:41 Two Latin Americas (and two US)
This week started with yet a new display on why Latin America might never be able to get from under its undeveloped status: our love for inane myth. Not that other cultures do not fall under the sway of their own myth which on occasion can spell disaster for them, but it seems that in Latin America we have developed a talent to seek such myths even when they come with a warning label. On the other hand, we have a US that still does not get it and sometimes seems to be doing all what it cans to p …

2007-10-02 16:29 McCain hasn't read the Constitution
In an interview with Beliefnet, Arizona Sen. John McCain said that the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation: A recent poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation. What do you think I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation. But I say that in the broadest sense. The lady that holds her lamp beside the golden door doesn't say, œI only welcome Christians. …

2007-09-04 19:03 Understanding The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007
Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Ga. currently has a bill in Congress titled The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 which has been the subject of some controversy lately. For starters the usual propaganda is being spewed by those who feel we should be a nation without borders, they argue that this bill is somehow discriminatory against Hispanics, even going so far as to say this bill is un-American. The bill, which currently has 89 co-sponsors is neither discriminatory nor un-American of course, it simply in …

2007-09-04 08:42 The Brown Bounce
Drop a turd from high enough and it will bounce. The Brown bounce could well have passed its peak now with the Conservatives regaining on him according to some polls. Brown was only ever going to get one 'thank god Blair is gone' bounce and he knows it, so if the main thrust of it is over then so are the prospects of an early election. Gordon Brown is caucious, as can be seen by the amount of time he left and the number of opportunities that he ignored for sticking the knife into Blair. Like all …

2007-09-04 01:14 Could Sarkozy Solve Belgium s Crisis
The Belgians are currently living in a state without government. Are they to be pitied Not at all. Since there is no government they are not being governed which is great. Belgium s coalition of Liberals and Socialists, led by Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, lost its parliamentary majority in last June s elections. Until there is a new government the Verhofstadt cabinet continues to function in a caretaker position. This severely limits its powers. Verhofstadt is not allowed to start up new in …

2007-09-03 10:37 The War Criminal in the Living Room
by Paul Craig Roberts The media is silent, Congress is absent, and Americans are distracted as George W. Bush openly prepares aggression against Iran. US Navy aircraft carrier strike forces are deployed off Iran. US Air Force jets and missile systems are deployed in bases in countries bordering or near to Iran. US B-2 stealth bombers have been refitted to carry 30,000 pound "bunker buster" bombs. The US government is financing terrorist and separatist groups within Iran. US Special Forces teams …

2007-09-02 05:59 The abandoning of the ˜constitutional concept
Is the meaning of a word explained by that to which it refers, or should we say that that to which we use a word to refer is explained by what concept it expresses Clause 1 of the IGC mandate for the EU s proposed ˜Reform Treaty states: ˜The constitutional concept, which consisted in repealing all existing treaties and replacing them by a single text called œConstitution , is abandoned. This phrase has been reiterated time and again in defence of the decision to deprive the British people of a …

Usually ahead of the game on EU issues, the Financial Times is trailing behind the curve, having just woken up with a headline, "Brown under fire over EU vote". But, as well as noting that Keith Vaz has joined the fray, the paper also reports that former Labour minister Graham Stringer has called for an EU referendum. He believes that Labour made a commitment to holding a referendum in its manifesto for the 2005 general election, declaring that, "The Labour party manifesto is actually very clear …

2007-08-31 19:55 To Summarise
As today's polls, public and private, strike as slightly confusing - not least, most likely, to Gordon Brown himself - Frederick Forsyth attempts to summarise the situation: Now here s an oddity. After nearly two years in the job David Cameron has suddenly produced a spate of policies that seem really to resonate with the public, not just Tory diehards. He endorses Iain Duncan Smith s declaration of our œbroken society and proposes the cure begins with the restoration of the old dad-plus-mum-p …

Eoin O'Broin In the coming months, the 26 Counties will be one of the only EU member states to hold a referendum on the newly titled Reform Treaty. The importance of this vote for the EU, Ireland and Sinn Féin cannot be underestimated. Most observers understand that the Reform Treaty is simply a repackaged EU Constitution designed to enable the governments of France and the Netherlands to ratify it without the inconvenience of referenda. The electorates of these two countries rejected the origin …
