China, Tibet and the Propaganda OlympicsContributed by blackandred on Tue, 2008-04-22 04:11.
By WILLIAM BLUM - March 29 / 30, 2008 It's nice to see the West's conscience stirred up. They're real good about such things, when the target is not one of their own, particularly against a communist country. In 1980, 62 nations -- including the United States, Canada, West Germany, Japan, and Israel -- boycotted the Olympics in Moscow because the previous year the Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan. Four years later, the Olympics were held in Los Angeles. Not a single member of "The Free World" boycotted it, even though the previous year the United States had invaded Grenada... » Read more | 315 reads «

The Tet Offensive 40 Years OnContributed by blackandred on Tue, 2008-03-11 07:22.
By Mike Marqusee - March, 08 2008 The end of January 2008 marked the 40th anniversary of an event that astonished the world [and] changed the course of history...In the early hours of 31 January 1968, soldiers of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam and the Army of North Vietnam launched what came to be known as the Tet Offensive...against the US occupiers and their puppet government...The insurgents struck simultaneously across the country, targeting more than one hundred cities and towns...Most spectacularly, a group of 19 commandos fought their way into the US Embassy compound in Saigon, where they held out for six and half hours--long enough for the images of defiance to be broadcast around the world. » Read more | 238 reads «

Indonesia's Bloody Brand of 'Counter-Terrorism'Contributed by blackandred on Wed, 2007-07-25 18:34.
...[C]ritics contend that Washington's enthusiasm for its Indonesian military "partners" has been at the expense of any accountability for military atrocities. On April 26, the U.S.-based East Timor and Indonesia Human Rights Network (ETAN) condemned the participation of Indonesian Major General Noer Muis in a joint U.S.-Indonesia military exercise. ETAN pointed out that General Muis has been indicted for crimes against humanity in East Timor. » Read more | 454 reads «

The Needs of Nepal Overshadowed by the UN's Guise for Peace and SecurityContributed by amy on Sun, 2007-05-06 12:34.
The world hasn’t been paying attention to Nepal lately. Why would they? As the plan of action seems to go for the Goliath International Institution, the UN comfortably settled into the poor South Asian country last year ready to play its usual role of peace broker, supplier and judge and the global gaze moved on to newer, more exciting stories. The few stories that we can read are often published from New Delhi, and follow the UN line. » Read more | 571 reads «
Troublesome Reports from Nepal: Maoist Homophobia?Contributed by macdonald on Thu, 2007-05-03 19:20.
Some who have supported the CPN(M) are expressing grave concern that the party is abandoning its commitment to socialist revolution by its deal with the seven mainstream parties and its abandonment of the People's War. The Nepali Maoists deny that that's the case, and I'd just as soon withhold judgment on that issue. But if the sentiments of Comrades Gurung and Biswokarma are at all representative of party sentiment, and if measures against gays are part of the party's agenda, the outlook for a new revolutionary model in Nepal is looking worrisome. » Read more | 777 reads «
