Gaza Still Boils
Pillar of Cloud settled nothing. Little changed for 1.7 million Gazans. Suffocating siege continues. Israel provoked two border incidents. One Palestinian was shot and killed. Others were wounded.

Stephen Lendman — Syria on the Boil
What’s been ongoing for over 18 months looks all too familiar. It could continue for some time. It took most of the 1990s to fully balkanize Yugoslavia. America was the lead belligerent. Whether or not Washington plans the same for Syria remains to be seen. Only the fullness of …

Chris Hedges — The War in the Shadows
A Swedish documentary filmmaker released a film last year called “Last Chapter—Goodbye Nicaragua.” In it he admitted that he unknowingly facilitated a bombing, almost certainly orchestrated by the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which took the lives of three reporters I worked with in Central America.

ROBERT HUNZIKER — The New Transnational Elite
The world’s epicenter of capitalism is the United States, and its reach/power/influence circumnavigates the globe.
