Iraq: 'Internationally Sponsored Genocide' Global Research 2007-11-28 6:08 PM
As you know, when I was here in April/May 1992, I thought things could get no worse. Yet in July this year, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations note in a Report: '..with deep regret', all the: 'pre-famine indicators being in place'. Further that an appreciable proportion of the population now had less calorific intake than the most famine stricken parts of Africa. (text/plain)

The May 13, 1985 MOVE Bombing: Suicide or State-sanctioned Murder? Kevin Price / Abu-Jamal-News.com 2007-11-07 9:59 AM

"If you look close enough you can see history altered before your eyes. Pick up the latest Guinness Book of World Records, flip to page 123 and you will see what I mean. Under the section 'Cults, Fans and Followers' the police bombing of the MOVE Organization in 1985 is listed as the sixth most deadly mass suicide in recent history…. Yes, you did read that correctly. A deliberate massacre, in which police dropped a bomb on a house, intentionally allowed the fire to burn and shot at those that dared attempt an escape, was labeled as mass suicide," writes MOVE supporter Kevin Price in his recent essay <a href="http://phillyimc.org/en/2007/11/43165.shtml">"MOVE's Battle With Guinness."</a> <p> Price's essay follows a recent <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/michael_klein/inqlings/20071101_Inqlings___MOVEs_Guinness_record_riles_survivor.html">Philadelphia Inquirer interview</a> with Ramona Africa, <a href="http://prisonradio.org/RamonaAfrica.htm">the sole adult survivor</a> of the May 13, 1985 police assault. <a href="http://onamove.com/">MOVE</a> has confronted Guinness and is asking people to <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/OnaMove">sign a petition</a> in protest. <p> Past Philly IMC coverage has documented the <a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39473.shtml">long history of media bias</a> towards MOVE, the upcoming <a href="http://insubordination.blogspot.com/2007/07/attention-move-this-is-america.html">Parole Hearings for the remaing MOVE prisoners</a>, interviews with Ramona Africa in <a href="http://www.publicenemy.com/pb/viewtopic.php?t=21398&sid=1">2002</a> & <a href="http://www.altpr.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=7">2003</a>, and demonstrations in Philadelphia(<a href="http://www.phillyimc.org/en/2007/05/39534.shtml">1</a>, <a href="http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/08/08/17585141.php">2</a>).

The FBI's War on Black Liberation: COINTELPRO and the Panthers Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch.com 2007-10-21 8:03 AM

While also spotlighting the cases of The SF 8, Veronza Bowers, Jr., and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (formerly H. Rap Brown), Ron Jacobs writes that the new Mumia Abu-Jamal crime scene photos in German author Michael Schiffmann's book: "cast more doubt on the state's case by apparently disproving the prosecution's statements that Mumia stood over Officer Faulkner and fired at him several times. The photos show no marks from the bullets that were supposedly fired in this fashion. In fact, the sidewalk was not damaged in any way. Schiffmann goes on to write: 'it is thus no question anymore whether the scenario presented by the prosecution at Abu-Jamal's trial is true. It is clearly not, because it is physically and ballistically impossible.' (p. 205) The remainder of the photos show a scenario that constantly contradicts the testimony of officers and witnesses (apparently coerced) and the nature of the scene they described in Mumia's original trial." SEE PHOTO BELOW: The official police crime scene photo (not taken by Pedro Polakoff) also supports Schiffmann's "missing bullet divots" observation. (image/jpeg + 4 comments)

Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" and the policy of Disaster Capitalism redpill8 2007-09-18 11:28 PM

"Shock and Awe" is what the media and pentagon called the bombardment of Baghdad by U.S. forces at the start of the 2003 Persian Gulf War. We remember the horrible visuals well, just as we remember, in graphic detail, our own shock and awe event on September 11, 2001, when we were treated to the first in a series of psychological trauma for the new the "War on Terror" PR campaign. All of these horrible events were designed to turn us, and Iraqis, into pliable infants, willing to let our government do whatever they want in order to "protect us." (image/jpeg)
