“Iraq on Sunday gave French energy giant Total an ultimatum to either end its dealings with the autonomous Kurdistan region in the north or to sell its stake in a giant southern oilfield.  The agreement between Total and Kurdistan came with relations between the autonomous region and Baghdad at a low ebb over multiple festering disputes, including over oil contracts and territorial claims.” [So, what happened the last time Iraq’s government got belligerent with the West and slagged off the Kurds?]

“An Australian woman born without arms and legs after her mother took thalidomide during pregnancy, on Wednesday won a landmark multi-million dollar settlement in her class action against drug firms.  Lynette Rowe, 50, is leading a mass lawsuit on behalf of people born with congenital defects in Australia and New Zealand between 1958 and 1970 whose mothers took the sedative thalidomide, made by German chemical firm Grunenthal.” [So when can swarthy folk whose birth defects originate in Western military conquest apply?]

American weapons blamed for health problems at hospital in Fallujah

“In an Iraqi city where US military offensives levelled entire neighbourhoods in 2004, a hospital has turned to American doctors to treat children with heart problems that residents blame on fallout from the fighting.  The decision was not easy for Fallujah, which lies just west of Baghdad and still views the United States with bitterness and extreme distrust.   ‘I am an educated man,’ said Firas al-Kubaisy, a Fallujah native and one of the hospital’s paediatric cardiologists. ‘So I know the American people are different from their politicians.'”

U.S. Government Helps the Muslim Brotherhood’s War on Egyptian Women

Posted on by

“President Barack Obama has hit upon a re-election strategy, according to Reuters, by wooing working women and accusing Republicans of waging a ‘war on women.’ Yet Obama is hosting the Muslim Brotherhood at the White House.  Under the previous regime, as oppressive as it was in some ways, Egyptian women had some measure of equality. Now they are being subjected to ‘virginity tests,’ for which an Egyptian doctor was recently acquitted in a controversial ruling.”

Quagmires Are Often Just a Few Steps Away

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/eland_ivan_1004.jpg

“The U.S. Pentagon and State Department, having learned the wrong lessons from post-American-invasion Iraq, are now planning for a post-Assad Syria. Undeterred by that previous mess, U.S. planners are busily concocting grandiose plans to remodel Syria’s society, security, economy, and political system — despite the objection of the Syrian opposition to foreign ‘transition plans.’ The officials are cautioning the Syrian opposition in the post-Assad era to avoid dismantling the military, police, and government agencies.”

The Neocon and the CIA Drug Lord

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/thelrcblog-5008.gif

“David Carlson is a repellent neocon Republican party primary candidate for the U. S. Senate in Minnesota who is running a scurrilous attack ad on Fox News against Ron Paul and Kurt Bills. What is extremely curious about Carlson is the fact that on his campaign website, besides photos of him with Mitt Romney and John McCain, is featured one with the CIA’s Laotian opium drug lord, the late General Vang Pao. What was his connection to Vang Pao? Minnesota voters deserve an answer.”

The True Story Behind 300 and Sparta’s “Super Soldiers”

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/300_676421.jpg

“Few comparisons with the human rights nightmare of Nazi-controlled Germany could be more accurate than the horror of Sparta and its quest for a race of super soldiers. Indeed, Hitler transformed Germany from a war-torn nation into a brutal regime of which genocide was a part; but in Sparta, ritual mass slaughter of human beings – particularly babies and serfs – and the turning of boys against one another for sport – was the very cornerstone of their culture. Human beings were raised from birth to death on the altar of Sparta’s cult of the super soldier.”
