Millions of Yemenis are starving as Saudi Arabia continues to bomb the country, while the people of Gaza lack electricity and medical supplies due to a 10-year Israeli blockade. Both conflicts and the crises they have unleashed are tied to the U.S.’ arms industry’s unending pursuit of profit. by Whitney Webb Part 2 - Famine and disease devastating Yemen Since 2015, Yemen has been in and out of the news following the beginning of a Saudi-led war against the popular Houthi political movement, which wrested power from former Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, who had been installed by the U.S. and the Saudis. While many in the media suggest that the Houthis are allied with Iran and that the conflict is, therefore, a proxy war, Iran’s minimal involvement and the Saudi’s repeated targeting of civilian infrastructure and public gatherings suggest that this is a war against the Yemeni people, one quickly approaching genocide. More than 10,000 civilians have died

Στα ερείπια του παλαιστινιακού χωριού Τζαρίσα, το οποίο εκκενώθηκε το 1948 για τη δημιουργία του κράτους του Ισραήλ, βρίσκεται το γήπεδο στο οποίο τραγουδούν οι Radiohead στη συναυλία τους στο Ισραήλ. Παρά την προπαγάνδα του Ισραήλ, ότι οι εβραϊκοί πληθυσμοί αναπτύχθηκαν σε ακατοίκητες περιοχές μετά το δεύτερο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο, η Τζαρίσα ήταν ένα από τα πέντε χωριά που εκκενώθηκαν όταν πέρασαν διοικητικά στον έλεγχο του Τελ Αβίβ. Παλαιότερες έρευνες των Βρετανών αποδείκνυαν ότι το 1922 το 100% του πληθυσμού ήταν Μουσουλμάνοι. Στην απογραφή του 1931 ζούσαν εκεί 43 οικογένειες. Τουλάχιστον 400 αραβικά χωριά ισοπεδώθηκαν το 1948 αναγκάζοντας όσους επέζησαν να τα εγκαταλείψουν. Τουλάχιστον 700.000 άραβες εγκατέλειψαν που την απειλή των όπλων τις εστίες τους στην λεγόμενη Νάκμπα, τη μεγάλη έξοδο των Παλαιστινίων. Οι Radiohead αποφάσισαν να παίξουν στο Ισραήλ παρά τις αντιδράσεις δεκάδων οργανώσεων και γνωστών καλλιτεχνών και διανοούμενων, όπως ο Ρότζερ Γο

WikiLeaks Today, July 19th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes documents from the CIA contractor Raytheon Blackbird Technologies for the "UMBRAGE Component Library" (UCL) project. The documents were submitted to the CIA between November 21st 2014 (just two weeks after Raytheon acquired Blackbird Technologies to build a Cyber Powerhouse) and September, 11th 2015. They mostly contain Proof-of-Concept ideas and assessments for malware attack vectors - partly based on public documents from security researchers and private enterprises in the computer security field. Raytheon Blackbird Technologies acted as a kind of "technology scout" for the Remote Development Branch (RDB) of the CIA by analysing malware attacks in the wild and giving recommendations to the CIA development teams for further investigation and PoC development for their own malware projects.

globinfo freexchange Tayyip Erdogan attempts to drive Turkey away from its secular characteristics towards an Islamic, nationalistic, ultra-conservative Turkey. In other words, towards a theocratic regime that will be based upon extreme nationalism. Make no mistake: the bill will be paid again by the common people. Local plutocracy not only will be left untouched, on the contrary, it will be benefited from the cruel repression, as always. We are now witnessing a fierce battle in all levels globally, where big corporations are trying to build greater monopolies, eliminate competitors, establish the oncoming Feudalism 2.0 against labor and ordinary citizens. Concerning Turkey, it seems that Tayyip Erdogan failed to secure, for the moment, a slice from the pie of the energy resources for the Turkish corporate establishment. Some Western giants took advantage (and probably pursued) the collapse of the recent talks for the Cyprus problem. Recently , the Cypriot Pres

Part 1 A new study conducted by members of the U.S. military establishment has concluded that the U.S.-led international global order established after World War II is “fraying” and may even be “collapsing” as the U.S. continues to lose its position of “primacy” in world affairs. “ In brief, the sta­tus quo that was hatched and nurtured by U.S. strategists after World War II and has for decades been the principal ‘beat’ for DoD is not merely fraying but may, in fact, be collapsing, ” the report states. The report, published in June by the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute, evaluated the Department of Defense’s (DOD) approach to risk assessment at all levels of Pentagon policy planning. The study was supported and sponsored by the U.S. Army’s Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate; the Joint Staff, J5 (Strategy and Policy Branch); the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Force Develop­ment; and the Army Study Program
