The Worldwide control of humanity's economic, social and political activities is under the helm of US corporate and military power. Underlying this process are various schemes of direct and indirect military intervention. These US sponsored strategies ultmately consist in a process of global subordination.

Why are Honest 9/11 Researchers Targetted
by Chris Bollyn

Last August 15, a gang of three undercover cops came to my house and assaulted me during an unjustified arrest. I was TASERed while restrained and my right elbow was broken in front of my wife and 8-year-old daughter. My writings made me a target of those who are dedicated to promoting the lies about 9/11. Naturally, this brutal assault took a heavy toll on me. I was thrown into a cell with no water and told to "drink from the toilet." When I asked why undercover cops with body armor had been prowling around my house, I was told – "We are watching you."

Inside the Crevice: 7/7 and the Security Debacle
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed

After the verdict of the crevice trial announced on 30th April, which convicted five British Muslim defendants of plotting to carry out terrorist attacks in the UK, the spotlight has been on MI5’s handling of connections between the crevice plotters and the alleged 7/7 bombers, Mohamed Sidique Khan and Shahzad Tanweer.

The Corporate Climate Coup
by Prof. David F. Noble

Don't breathe. There's a total war on against CO2 emissions, and you are releasing CO2 with every breath. The multi-media campaign against global warming now saturating our senses, which insists that an increasing CO2 component of greenhouse gases is the enemy, takes no prisoners: you are either with us or you are with the "deniers." No one can question the new orthodoxy or dare risk the sin of emission. If Bill Clinton were running for president today he would swear he didn't exhale. How did we get here? How did such an arcane subject only yesterday of interest merely to a handful of scientific specialists so suddenly come to dominate our discourse? How did scientific speculation so swiftly erupt into ubiquitous intimations of apocalypse? These are not hypothetical questions but historical questions, and they have answers.

Addicted to Oil and Violence
by Kurt Vonegut

Can I tell you the truth? I mean this isn’t like TV news, is it? Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we’re hooked on.

Globaligion in the Age of War
by Chris Sanders

With Gore’s nomination for a Nobel Prize, Global Warming has finally arrived, the perfect Global Religion, which I will call, Globaligion. Since it does appear that the earth is, in fact, warming, there is nothing to argue about except what is causing it. Those of us who are sceptical about anthropogenic climate forcing -- or more simply: if you are driving your car, YOU are responsible -- are conveniently pushed to the side by the so-called “overwhelming consensus”. The evidence for this consensus is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) at the UN, which has endorsed human causality. That this consensus is weaker than you might think is not an observation to make in polite company these days

Professor who criticized Bush added to terrorist 'no-fly' list

Walter F. Murphy, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Emeritus, at Princeton University, attempted to check his luggage at the curbside in Albuquerque before boarding a plane to Newark, New Jersey. Murphy was told he could not use the service. "I was denied a boarding pass because I was on the Terrorist Watch list," he said. When inquiring with a clerk why he was on the list, Murphy was asked if he had participated in any peace marches. "We ban a lot of people from flying because of that," a clerk said.

The Last Oil Shock - A Review
by Chris Sanders

The Last Oil Shock may not be the Last Word on Peak Oil, but it is has to be one of the best books to have emerged on the subject. Peak Oil itself is simple enough; it is really a straight geological issue. But it is complicated by the interaction of humans with the geology, and David Strahan has done a fine job of explaining the consequences of that interaction. He has done so in a useful way that brings the subject from the battlefields of the Middle East, boardrooms in London and North Sea drilling platforms into your home, so to speak, making concrete the implications that will change our lives for ever.

EYES WIDE SHUT The Politics of Energy
by Jim Puplava

Immortalized by Rudyard Kipling in his turn-of-the-century novel Kim, “the Great Game” described a struggle between the British and tsarist Russian empires over land supremacy in Central Asia. In the 21st century, “the Great Game” has returned; once again great empires are repositioning themselves in an effort to control the Eurasian landmass. At stake are the vast energy reserves of the Middle East and the Caspian Sea, which contain nearly 75% of the world’s oil reserves.

Neocon Imperialism, 9/11, and the Attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq
by David Ray Griffin

One way to understand the effect of 9/11, in most general terms, is to see that it allowed the agenda developed in the 1990s by neoconservatives—-often called simply “neocons”---to be implemented. There is agreement on this point across the political spectrum. From the right, for example, Stefan Halper and Jonathan Clarke say that 9/11 allowed the “preexisting ideological agenda” of the neoconservatives to be “taken off the shelf and relabeled as the response to terror.”1 Stephen Sniegoski, writing from the left, says that “it was only the traumatic effects of the 9/11 terrorism that enabled the agenda of the neocons to become the policy of the United States of America.”

What was this agenda? It was, in essence, that the United States should use its military supremacy to establish an empire that includes the whole world--a global Pax Americana. Three major means to this end were suggested.

One of these was to make U.S. military supremacy over other nations even greater, so that it would be completely beyond challenge. This goal was to be achieved by increasing the money devoted to military purposes, then using this money to complete the “revolution in military affairs” made possible by the emergence of the information age.

The second major way to achieve a global Pax Americana was to announce and implement a doctrine of preventive-preemptive war, usually for the sake of bringing about “regime change” in countries regarded as hostile to U.S. interests and values.

The third means toward the goal of universal empire was to use this new doctrine to gain control of the world’s oil, especially in the Middle East, most immediately Iraq.

Putin and the Geopolitics of the New Cold War
by William Engdhal

The frank words of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to the assembled participants of the annual Munich Wehrkunde security conference have unleashed a storm of self-righteous protest from Western media and politicians. A visitor from another planet might have the impression that the Russian President had abruptly decided to launch a provocative confrontation policy with the West reminiscent of the 1943-1991 Cold War.

No George Monbiot, These Are The Facts about September 11th 2001
Crimes of the State

Mr. Monbiot has taken the standard media attack approach: conflate the internet film "Loose Change" with the subject of September 11th US government complicity. How brave to redo the same smear that has gone around for several years now focusing on the easily challenged claims, and ignoring the full breadth (and breathtaking amount) of evidence.

Information warfare, psyops and the power of myth
By Mike Whitney

The fighting between Sunni and Shiite is the predictable upshot of random bombings and violence which bears the signature of covert operations carried out by intelligence organizations. Most of the pandemonium in Iraq is the result of counterinsurgency operations (black-ops) on a massive scale, not civil war.

The Strategy of Tension
Interview with Daniel Ganser by Silvia Cattori

Daniele Ganser, professor of contemporary history at Bale University (France) and chairman of the ASPO - Switzerland, published a landmark book about "NATO’s Secret Armies." According to him, during the last 50 years the United States have organized bombings in Western Europe that they have falsely attributed to the left and the extreme left with the purpose of discrediting them in the eyes of their voters. This strategy is still present today, inspiring fear for the Islam and justifying wars on oil.

Oil and Israel
by Andrea Crandall

Debate on the motivation for the Iraq War is shepherded into two camps: securing oil or securing Israel. In reality, the war is being fought to secure oil through Israel. US foreign policy is geared to make Israel its primary transport route for Middle Eastern and Central Asian oil.

The Fortunate Fifth
by Chris Sanders

US politics turns on the fortune of some 20-25% of its population; the other 75% are window dressing. It is important to understand this if one is to understand why a wider war is likely.

Who's War on Terror?
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed

In the name of security -- that is in the name of defending our security, the security of you and me, the British public -- the government has systematically erected a vast legal apparatus of social control, which in both principle and practice violates our most cherished and hard-won human rights and civil liberties..

Iran: the next war
by John Pilger

Bush and Blair are gearing up for it, and they are preparing us, too - just as they did before attacking Iraq. But where is the threat?

The "Demonisation" of Muslims and the Battle for Oil
by Michael Chossudovsky

Muslim countries possess three quarters of the World's oil reserves. In contrast, the United States of America has barely 2 percent of total oil reserves.

A response to CERA's "debunking" of peak oil
by Chris Skrebowski

The Editor of the UK Petroleum Review responds to Peter Jackson of Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) regarding CERA's report "debunking" peak oil.

An Open Letter to Greg Palast
by Richard Heinberg

Dear Greg, Congratulations on your new book, Armed Madhouse. As with your previous work, I admire your dedication in exposing the machinations of government and corporate miscreants. However, this time around you’ve also taken a potshot at a target that I happen to know a good deal about and have been closely involved with for a few years—the efforts by a growing number of analysts to forecast the arrival, and prepare the world for the consequences, of Peak Oil.

This war on terrorism is bogus
by Michael Meacher

Massive attention has now been given - and rightly so - to the reasons why Britain went to war against Iraq. But far too little attention has focused on why the US went to war, and that throws light on British motives too. The conventional explanation is that after the Twin Towers were hit, retaliation against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan was a natural first step in launching a global war against terrorism. Then, because Saddam Hussein was alleged by the US and UK governments to retain weapons of mass destruction, the war could be extended to Iraq as well. However this theory does not fit all the facts. The truth may be a great deal murkier.
