Fights break out and dozens are arrested outside Tymoshenko court hearing.

Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich

Guido Giancomo Preparata, the author, is a former professor of Political Economy at the University of Washington.

(SALT LAKE CITY) - There are two definitively distinct types of history: the history written by those who take official propaganda at face value, and the history written by those who read between the lines, dig into the cracks, and shine a light on the dark corners of purposefully forgotten inconvenient truths.

The second type of history is sometimes referred to as “revisionist.” A more accurate description would be to call it “real” history, with the inverse being true of the former kind.

The Only Way To Oppose and End Nuclear Power, Is By Unifying Our Global Community

Beyond the UN Special meeting on Fukushima - All out effort now to help our Japanese activist friends thwart this latest high stakes play to usurp their abilities to end nuclear power in their country.

(ARCATA, Calif.) - What has just occurred at the UN always happens when ingrained power faces 'showdowns' over any loss of their domain.

Fukushima has exposed the worst of nuclear radiations to mankind, including overwhelming evidences of gross malpractices by the industry, government and its regulatory agencies, enough to bring repudiation by a huge majority of our worlds citizenry.

Invasion of Rabbits.

Is it the year of the cat or rabbit?

(SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine) - Twelve years have already passed after the last Cat year which we celebrated at the end of the last century – in 1999. And here comes an unexpected metamorphosis.

Of course we knew that the year of cat is also the year of hare or rabbit for some Asian people, but nobody expected that rabbit to come to us and pull over by all paws... his competitors.

Once Upon a Time in Syria

Should the House of Assad fall, I wonder what the resulting Syrian government's relations will be with Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Israel.

(SALEM) - In 1999, we visited Syria as well as Jordan, Israel, and Baalbeck in Lebanon. We arrived in Syria on the eve of the Israeli elections.

The majority of Arabs and Israelis probably agreed that the prospects for peace in the region improved immeasurably with the election of Ehud Barak as Israel's prime minister.

Why the Syrian Regime Won`t Fall

The Syrian epic could be branded “Sunnis and Shi’ites battle for Arab republic”.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Suppose this was a Hollywood script conference and you have to pitch your story idea in 10 words or less. It’s a movie about Syria.

As much as the currently in-research Kathryn Bigelow film about the Osama bin Laden raid was pitched as “good guys take out Osama in Pakistan”, the Syrian epic could be branded “Sunnis and Shi’ites battle for Arab republic”.

Pot Calls Kettle White: Cheney, Putin shoot down `Conspiracy Theories`

Dick Cheney: Russian apartment bombings inside job "complete nonsense".

(SUNDANCE, Wyoming) - At a hastily-convened press conference outside his home today, former Vice President Dick Cheney absolved Vladimir Putin and the Russian state security services of responsibility for the 1999 apartment bombings that brought Putin to power and launched the Russian invasion of Chechnya.

Responding to Putin's statement that 9/11 inside job theories are "complete nonsense," Dick Cheney thanked Putin for his support and added, "Vlad didn't do those apartment bombings either, no matter what the conspiracy theorists say. That's complete nonsense...

Global Economy -Tipping Point

Shakespeare was on the right track when he said “to be or not to be, that is the question”; however now, it should be, “to see or not to see, where we will be tomorrow”?

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - The very fundamental nature of progress is to find a commonality, but if there is a lack of universality, all roads become stale. This is the very essence of the breakdown in our global economy, every country looking for the kill, the power and most disgusting; superiority.

Vladimir Putin's statement that the U.S. is “living like parasites off the global economy” is a prime example of the breakdown of the symbiotic resistance plaguing our international community.

Russia`s Putin Calls U.S. `a Parasite` on World Economy

You look around this country and tell me what you see.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Vladimir Putin says the United States is feeding on the world economy like a "parasite". In an AFP article, Russia's Prime Minister stated that the world is facing serious economic pressure because Americans built up an unsustainable debt that threatens the entire global financial system.

“The country is living in debt. It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite,” Putin said.
