‘You don’t care about me,’ Khadr sobs in interview tapes

Graham — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:48:04 +0000

–We are all guilty for letting this go on like this. Six years he has been held without trial, without justice, without rights. Shame is not a strong enough word.

New Yorker Cover – It’s funny, damn it.

Graham — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:25:56 +0000

–I think it is hilarious. I think that it is more hilarious that there is discussion in the corporate media about whether it is funny or not. The discussion says more about the state of US politics than anything else. Basically, the media is debating on just how stupid the American people are. We should all be insulted, not by the cover, but by the reporting of the cover.

Misunderstanding Global Warming: Alexander Cockburn versus Global Warming.

Graham — Thu, 03 May 2007 17:09:12 +0000

–I like Alexander Cockburn… usually. But recently he wrote a very strange (and rather silly) article outlining why he is a global warming skeptic. I post this for people who might be lead astray by Cockburn’s bad assumptions and logical confusions that seem to be, for the most part, absent from most of his writings on Counterpunch.

Mahmoud Al-Safadi, “Other Victims of Denial”

graham — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 13:54:11 +0000

–A rather nice article from someone who knows what it is to fight the State about the current nuttiness of Holocaust denial that is going on in Iran. We must demand that history be respected. We must demand that the crimes of history be remembered and the struggle of all peoples against oppression be honoured. To not do so is worse that self deception, it is to doom ourselves to keep repeating the past and to give power to those that would use the revisionist past to justify their oppressive actions of the present.

Timeline of the Russian Revolution (1917)

Geoff — Mon, 19 Sep 2005 13:04:02 +0000

This is a comprehensive timeline of the 1917 Russian Revolution, for all those interested! E.g. “October 23 – For several weeks the Bolsheviks have been carrying on extensive campaigns of agitation throughout the country. Though missing great speakers in Lenin, Zinoviev and Kamenev; Trotsky and Sverdlov work tirelessly. Most importantly, however, are the thousands upon thousands of ordinary workers, soldiers, peasants, and sailors who convince their fellow workers that the time has come to seize power in their own hands. The Soviets issue ‘Revolutionary Decree No. 1′: hiring and firing of workers is controlled by the Soviet.”
