Everything European



US Right Wing Accuse Europe of "Anti-Capitalist Propaganda"

Tuesday, 22 April 2008 8:53 A GMT+01
At a time of a worldwide economic reversal, when the instability and exploitation associated with capital accumulation is laid bare, the attack on European “anti-capitalism” is ideological indoctrination of an old-fashioned capitalist kind.

Brown & Bush: Bugger the Special Relationship

Monday, 21 April 2008 9:05 A GMT+01
Bush is now the most consistently unpopular president since Truman, and Brown's support has plunged faster than Neville Chamberlain's after he appeased Hitler. So it was inevitable that the beleaguered pair warbled about the "Special Relationship."

"Universal Values" Used to Justify Western Imperialism

Friday, 28 March 2008 9:37 A GMT+01
Since the Enlightenment, Western intervention around the world has been justified by appeals to ideas of civilization and progress. The assumption has been that such ideas are universal. This rhetoric has been a smoke screen for Western dominance.

Sex Trends: French Women Sexually Aggressive [Great!]

Friday, 7 March 2008 2:23 P GMT+01
Sexual Equality: Women in France are the country's new 'sexual predators'. Yet one in five young men manifest 'no interest in sex'. Women, on the other hand, are sleeping with twice as many men as they used to and losing their virginity earlier.

From Bill Clinton's Humanitarian Imperialism to Bush's "War on Terror"

Monday, 3 March 2008 9:38 A GMT+01
Kosovo's declaration of independence is a cover for colonialism. America's biggest foreign military base since the Vietnam War - Camp Bondsteel - is there. A $1.1 billion pipeline will get oil from the Caspian Sea to ship to refineries in the US.

Prince Harry in Afghanistan: War, Royalty & Propaganda

Sunday, 2 March 2008 9:32 A GMT+01
Still, it's good to know that the Boy Prince is a warmonger like the rest of us. How courageous of him to be Britain's jingoistic mascot in Afghanistan. Also satisfying to know that 'our' boy has played a part in killing a few more ragheads.

Be American! A Super Macho Patriot!

Thursday, 28 February 2008 9:29 A GMT+01
In answering a question about torture, Bush said that the President was justified in its use because in defense of God's own country no holds are barred. So, the leader of such a righteous nation just had to be allowed to get away with murder.

Anti-American Imperialism: Serbians Storm US Embassy in Belgrade

Sunday, 24 February 2008 9:56 A GMT+01
An old-style colonial viceroy and imperialist administrators will have control over foreign and domestic policy in Kosovo. U.S. imperialism has merely consolidated its direct control of a totally dependent colony in the heart of the Balkans.

Kosovo & Western Imperialism

Wednesday, 20 February 2008 9:45 A GMT+01
Why is Kosovo so crucial to NATO expansion? The creation of Kosovo as an “independent” state would be a precedent for other schemes U.S. imperialism could take advantage of to break away areas of other sovereign nations, including China and Russia.

Sarkozy's French Farce: Also Starring Carla Bruni As High-Class Hooker

Tuesday, 15 January 2008 10:31 A GMT+01
Man trap, serial heart-wrecker, rocker arm candy, photogenic cipher, arrogant heiress, polling gimmick - the woman who may become the first lady of France has been called a lot of things lately. No one has thought of calling her a good catch.

Being a "Terrorist" Sympathizer Is Now a Thought Crime in the UK

Tuesday, 18 December 2007 10:14 A GMT+01
Malik, who dubbed herself the "Lyrical Terrorist," had written "extremist poems" praising Osama Bin Laden, in support of martyrdom and beheading. One of her poems, "How to Behead," was extensively quoted in the media for propaganda purposes.

"Riots" in France: Immigrants Are the New Resistance

Thursday, 29 November 2007 9:49 A GMT+01
The youths were riding on a motorbike that was hit by a police car and were left for dead. Media use of the term ‘involuntary homicide’ infuriated residents of the area. Many are convinced the collision was deliberately provoked by the police squad.

France: Workers Strike Against Sarkozy's "Savage Capitalism"

Wednesday, 21 November 2007 9:31 A GMT+01
The strikes testify to the broad and deep-seated opposition to Sarkozy?s political agenda - to transform France into a paradise for profiteers. The rich will get wealthier at the expense of the living standards and rights of the rest of us.

Death to the West's Ruling Elite! [Chavez & KIng Juan Carlos of Spain]

Wednesday, 21 November 2007 9:29 A GMT+01
Chávez kept trying to interrupt — summit organizers even turned off his microphone — at which point the King told him to "shut up." Hugo Chavez has a formidable talent to get up the noses of western leaders and their complacent bourgeois values.

Dollar Collapse: Brits Are Buying America

Tuesday, 20 November 2007 10:00 A GMT+01
The US property market, in decline because of the credit crisis, has suddenly become great value for Britons dismayed by sky-high house prices at home. The market has been driven by an exchange rate that has risen above two dollars to the pound.

Condemning Sarkozy: A Toxic Mix of Neoliberal & Neocon

Friday, 9 November 2007 9:51 A GMT+01
Sarko comes across as a neocon and, like Bush, driven by the concept of a New World Order. Both Left and Right dislike the direction HyperSarko is taking France. Neoliberalism - the role of unfettered market forces - is distasteful to the French.

Shocking Revelation: Sarkozy Was an Israeli Spy

Monday, 5 November 2007 9:47 A GMT+01
Sarkozy once worked for - and perhaps still does, Le Figaro hinted - Israeli intelligence as a sayan (Hebrew for helper), one of the thousands of Jewish citizens of countries other than Israel who cooperate with the katsas (Mossad case-officers).

Bush Is The Mad Axeman ["I'm Coming to Getcha, Ahmadinejad"]

Thursday, 1 November 2007 9:31 A GMT+01
January 20, 2009 is a year and a half away, but as far away as it seems, we may as well be counting in dog years. The mad axeman can do untold amounts of damage before he leaves office. And he seems determined to go out with a bang, not a whimper.

The Israel Lobby Terrorizes Anyone Who Criticizes Zionism

Sunday, 28 October 2007 9:26 A GMT+01
This week, two Israeli colleagues and I were due to appear at the union to participate in an important debate on the one-state solution in Israel-Palestine. We have been condemned outright by pro-Israel bullies who want to silence free speech.

Putin Warns Bush over Iran: "Don't Even Think about War"

Thursday, 18 October 2007 8:27 A GMT+01
Vladimir Putin, today warned the US not to use force against Iran in the current nuclear dispute. Any military intervention in the Caspian Sea area would be unacceptable, Mr Putin declared as he attended a five-country regional summit in Tehran.

Myanmar [Burma]: The West's Sickening Hypocrisy [Dispatches]

Tuesday, 2 October 2007 9:08 A GMT+01
Bush pretends to care about "human rights", "freedom" and "democracy." The Burmese government doesn't pretend to be anything but a military dictatorship. They haven't committed acts of naked aggression and appalling war crimes around the world.

Aggression Towards Iran: Western Sabre Rattlers Unite

Thursday, 20 September 2007 9:17 A GMT+01
Asked in Tehran earlier this year about the possibility of a US military strike on Iran, a senior official laughed. "Are you serious?" he asked. "They will never attack us. That would be madness." His amusement was genuine - and foolish.

Alan Greenspan on Iraq: "It Was All about the Oil. Stupid"

Tuesday, 18 September 2007 8:46 A GMT+01
Bush's credibility on Iraq has suffered another devastating blow. Neo-cons were huffing and puffing yesterday that Greenspan had got it wrong. The war was about democracy and the balance of power, they relentlessly repeated. The bullshit continues.

Thomas Friedman: I Love the Smell of War

Tuesday, 11 September 2007 9:19 A GMT+01
The final paragraph of Thomas Friedman?s column in the NYT began with a punchy sentence: ?Give war a chance.? It was a witticism that seemed to delight Friedman. He repeated it, as often as possible, in print and on TV. The man's a fucking sadist.

Nicholas Sarkozy: Bush's Brand New Poodle

Thursday, 30 August 2007 8:15 A GMT+01
With Blair out of the picture, there's now a newer, leaner, meaner, adrenaline-packed "Made in France" version. Blair was derided as Bush's poodle for his unrelenting backing of Bush's war on Iraq. Now the new self-appointed lap dog is Sarkozy.
