Conspiracies Unlimited (2/98)

Greg Guma May 27, 2005 Greg Guma

Uncovering a secret plot can quickly become a dead-end trip, guided by the researcher’s paranoid half-fantasies and the eerie vibration that everything is under hidden control. Yet you don’t have to be paranoid to realize that history isn’t only what scholars write, and that newspapers often edit — and sometimes even alter — the facts that they report.

Secret societies do exist, conspiracies both above and below ground; so do groups with manipulative and often deadly game plans. But not all of them are bent on control: some are aimed at altruistic goals, and others are just plain stupid. No one group as yet has humanity under its thumb. On the other hand, conspiracies are quite real and not to be underestimated. read more

Romania’s Gold Rush: mining risks (06/03)

JOHN HORVATH May 27, 2005 JOHN HORVATH

Despite tragic lessons of the past, the Romania is about to destroy the cultural, economic, and environmental balance of an area considered an ecological and archaeological paradise. At risk is Rosia Montana, an area in the Apuseni mountains of West-Central Romania.

In 2000, the Tisza river and its tributaries became flowing rivers of death as cyanide from an Australian-run open-pit gold mine leaked into the environment. Now the entire region has come under the speculative gaze of the government and foreign investors, who hope to make a fortune mining gold in the region. Despite the warnings of many economists and independent mining experts who feel the project is not viable, it’s another disaster waiting to happen. read more

Big Brother is Back (3/02)

JOHN HORVATH May 27, 2005 JOHN HORVATH

Falling in line behind other industrialized Western nations at the end of 2001, Hungary pushed through an anti-terrorism package containing a host of new measures and regulations intended to aid in the so-called global effort to combat terrorism. Although the government wanted to speed the measures through parliament, the opposition did slow them down somewhat. But the motivation wasn’t genuine concern about privacy and such; rather, it was just an opportune time to score some feeble political points. read more

Macedonia: US Military Connections (05/01)

MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY May 27, 2005 MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY

The US is once more waging a proxy war, using the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) to fight the Macedonian Armed Forces. While US KFOR troops stationed in Kosovo are not directly involved, US military personnel from Military Professional Resources, Inc (MPRI) — a mercenary outfit on contract to the Pentagon — is advising the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and its Macedonian proxy, the NLA.

Albanian Rebel Leaders Paid by the UN Military personnel of the "civilian" Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) (i.e. the KLA under its UN label) have now joined the NLA. KPC Reservists have been called up and KPC Chief of Staff Gezim Ostreni –who was on the United Nations payroll– has been appointed "second in command" in the NLA. read more

Crimes of Lies (2/00)

GEORGE THOMPSON & JARED ISRAEL May 27, 2005 GEORGE THOMPSON & JARED ISRAEL

There are three main positions on Serbian government military action during the 78 day bombing of Yugoslavia.

Position one: Serbian armed forces engaged in genocide on a vast scale; the NATO/KLA forces were right and the Yugoslav government was wrong. Position two: Serbian forces were bad but not as bad as Position One suggests; there was right and wrong on both sides. And Position three: there is no evidence that Serbian forces committed atrocities. Moreover the Serbs were fighting a just war; they were and remain right. read more

Crisis in Kosovo (12/99)

WILLIAM DORICH May 27, 2005 WILLIAM DORICH

For those wanting a second opinion, or in the case of Kosovo, any opinion other than Madeleine Albright’s and her compliant media spin doctors, Kosovo Crisis: A Study in Foreign Policy Mismanagement by Dr. Vojin Joksimovich is a first. It’s the first book authored by this nuclear scientist, the first comprehensive detailed volume about the war in Kosovo as told from a non-NATO perspective. It’s also the first "no-holds barred" attack on the NATO propaganda machine and their dirty little illegal war. read more
