Kiwi’s have an extra ordinary capacity for delusional thinking. For most the USA is stil the richest country on earth, the wars are helping those poor Arabs and Afghans to rebuild their country and this dip we’re going through will pass just like the ones we’ve had in the last decennia. I’m sorry to have […]
When the USA administration was finally forced to put together a commission to invesitgate the events of 911 more than one year and two months after the horrific events of that day they had an interesting choice in who would be heading the commission. They picked Henry Kissinger. Now Henry K. is a man with […]

John Key’s public image has been all about the self-made man. His success as National Party leader has been credited to his “quick political instincts”, his “intuition”, his “natural” and “spontaneous” character and his skill in “creating strong visual images that push all the right buttons”. Some journalists have asked: “Who is giving John Key all […]
When I saw the buildings fall on the day of 911 my first thought was this is the end of the world as we know it and my second thought was: This is about oil. As the war drums started to sound and we in Europe were told that the Taliban was prepared to give […]

Global Research Editor’s Note In this report published in 2006, the PSR tends to support US sponsored pressures on Iran regarding its alleged nuclear weapons program : “The use of nuclear weapons against Iran would be illegal under international law. Their use would outrage the international community because of the scale of the medical and environmental catastrophe that would result. PSR urges […]

The agriculture and construction industries were the main contributors to the March quarter decline in gross […]
“The bases do not serve military intentions and its staff would not be military personnel.” Yeah right and I’ve got a rainforest in the Sahara I could sell you for a good price. The US military has constructed four advanced bases 20 miles from Iraq’s border with Iran, a senior Iraqi police officer has announced. […]
This is interesting. Apparently NATO sent troops to Afghanistan under the condition they would not be used in the war efforts other than as peace keepers. There was a caveat on the freedom to move these troops around. However the war in Afghanistan is not going as planned. It seems the Afghans take exception to […]

Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Times At a time of technological wonders, communication breakthroughs, and near limitless online ways to stay informed, our society is largely depoliticized. Political involvement is weak, and it’s evident when presidential and off-year elections are held. Routinely, half or less of the electorate turns out, and those […]

In fact we went to war in both countries and the US is going to invade a third country: Iran. All for oil. New Zealand is participating in two illegal wars of conquest and for the resources of other countries. The wars are vile genocidal and thanks to the use of Depleted Uranium ever lasting. […]
