WSWS 29 août 2009 Photo: travel.webshots Par Barry Grey Le décès mardi du sénateur du Massachusetts Edward (Ted) Kennedy marque la fin du rôle de la famille Kennedy en tant que force importante dans la politique américaine. Ted Kennedy, qui a succombé à un cancer du cerveau à l’âge de 77 ans, a servi durant 47 ans au Sénat.

Le Grand Soir23 juillet 2009 Personne n’est à l’abri... La menace d’un bon exemple Aucun pays n’est à l’abri d’une intervention des Etats-Unis, même le plus insignifiant. En fait, ce sont souvent les pays les plus faibles, les plus pauvres, qui provoquent la plus grande hystérie. Prenez le cas du Laos dans les années 60, peut-être le pays le plus pauvre du monde. La plupart de ceux qui y vivaient ne savaient même pas qu’ils vivaient dans un pays appelé le Laos ; tout ce qu’ils savaient […]

The Los Angeles TimesJuly 30, 2009 By Liz Sly Now-frequent dust storms are just one sign of the man-made damage that has taken the country from Middle East breadbasket to dust bowl, they say. Reporting from Baghdad — You wake up in the morning to find your nostrils clogged. Houses and trees have vanished beneath a choking brown smog. A hot wind blasts fine particles through doors and windows, coating everything in sight and imparting an eerie orange glow. Dust storms are a routine […]

William Engdahl explained a new form of US covert warfare - first played out in Belgrade, Serbia in 2000.
