Eric the Unread: Jarhead - another pro-war film? There is talk that many Vietnam films are antiwar, that the message is war is inhumane and look what happens when you train young American men to fight and kill, they turn their fighting and killing everywhere, they ignore their targets and desecrate the entire country, shooting fully automatic, forgetting they were trained to aim. In fact, Russian war films in general tend to be noticeably less gung-ho than their Hollywood equivalents - almost certainly because they were made for people with far more direct experience of the sharp end of mechanised warfare, and who were therefore not especially disposed to treat the subject lightly. Sam Mendes has directed the film adaptation, and first glances at the trailer suggest a film perhaps playing more on the Iraq-based parts of the story, although a few micro-second clips of home-life make me think the trailer could be focusing on the more testosterone loaded parts of the book to attract the right audience. erictheunred.blogspot.com /2005/09/jarhead-another-pro-war-film.html   (827 words)

Anti-War Movement This is another part of our series on the Anti-War Movement at the time of the Viet Nam War. Remember, the French took secret films of the JFK murder, threatening to release the same, but in the meantime, using them, as is usual between Aristocracies, for extortion, such as now against the Bush White House. (Field Enterprises executives, many of them in the war business, are not exactlly "left wing".) The Sun-Times, as noted, ran the copyright "compromise verdict" series by juror Kay Richards, and had editorialized for the release of the "7" on appeal bond. www.rense.com /general50/antiwr.htm   (2414 words)

Anti-War: Vietnam War This book is Carroll's story of what it was like to be an anti-war priest in the '60s while his father was an Air Force general deeply involved in Pentagon planning. An American Ordeal: The Antiwar Movement of the Vietnam War (Syracuse Studies on Peace and Conflict Resolution) (Link to Amazon) It was organized to voice the growing opposition among returning servicemen and women to the still-raging war in Indochina, and grew rapidly to a membership of over 30,000 throughout the United States as well as active duty GIs stationed in Vietnam. www.vietnamwar.net /antiwar/antiwar.htm   (289 words)

Accuracy In Media - For Fairness, Accuracy and Balance in News Reporting. Petula Dvorak's Washington Post story about the September 24 "anti-war" rally used a strategy that has been employed in the past by reporters anxious to avoid any mention of how communists run these events. Osama bin Laden is gravely ill. These are but a few of the claims that Richard Miniter attacks in his new book, "Disinformation: 22 Media Myths that Undermine the War on Terror." The mainstream media's coverage of immigration, the threat posed by China, and the record of disgrace from some people in the media throughout the Cold War and the war on terrorism were discussed at the AIM/McDowell Luncheon. www.aim.org   (558 words)

Where Did Our Love Go? Their support for Bush's war is, on the other hand, consistent with a position they embraced at the time of the first Gulf War along with Bernard Kouchner, former health minister of France and co-founder of the Nobel Prize-winning NGO Doctors Without Borders. This was one of the fundamental points made in another much-discussed book of the past year, Après l'empire (translated into English as After the Empire), by Emmanuel Todd, a demographer and sociologist whose 1976 book, The Final Fall, correctly predicted the breakup of the Soviet sphere. I am speaking of the droit d'ingérence, the "right to intervene" or "interfere," militarily if need be, in the affairs of a nation conducting war crimes against its own citizens. www.thenation.com /docprint.mhtml?i=20040112&s=sartarelli   (2267 words)

Institute for Anarchist Studies - The New Anti-Imperialism Opposition to US imperialism has grown to such proportions since the start of the Iraq war that Noam Chomsky now describes world public opinion as "the second super-power." However, we are actually witnessing something much more exciting than the term "public opinion" suggests: the beginnings of an international anti-imperialist movement. After long detours through the history of imperialism, capitalism, and conceptual distinctions of varying relevance, Harvey comes to his main point: the war in Iraq is a super-structural expression of long-standing pressures in the economic base (stated in non-Marxist parlance: the economy is making states fight each other). Presumably, as a Marxist, he would be inclined to locate the war in Marx's teleological vision of history: he could argue that the war is a necessary step in the universalization of capitalism, which must occur in order to lay the foundation for the inevitable emergence of the proletariat as the agent of world revolution. www.anarchist-studies.org /article/articleview/86/1/9   (1451 words)

A Pure It was alleged that the Soviet Union was behind a terror network, and in a book that became the bible of the Reagan administration, The Terror Network, Claire Sterling claimed a Soviet hand everywhere, from support of terrorists that threatened governments from Italy and Germany to Argentina and South Africa. The liberal E. Dionne, Jr., writes that "Progressives who believe in justice should be able to back war on terror" (Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept. 29, 2001). During the Cold War the United States supported a string of terror states, from the immediate post-World War backing given Thailand dictator Phibun Songkhram, "the first pro-Axis dictator to regain power after the war," to its support of Suharto, Marcos, Mobutu, Diem, Duvalier, Trujillo, Somoza, and a string of murderous military regimes in Latin America. www.zmag.org /hermancover.htm   (1451 words)

Speech delivered by Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz, President of the Republic of Cuba, at an anti-imperialist rally on the 40th Anniversary of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution. Havana, Cuba, September 28, 2000 In Cuba, it was first the imperialist interventionist war; later, after many years of doing everything possible to prevent Cuba’s independence --seizing arms and ships-- they opportunistically intervened in a war without an adversary. Military technology was developed between the imperialist wars until the nuclear weapons and many other new armaments were produced, such as the smart weapons that did not exist at the beginning of this century and have since been used to assert their power. Lenin took the 1898 war as a model of the first imperialist war, in the modern sense of the word. www.cuba.cu /gobierno/discursos/2000/ing/f280900i.html   (1451 words)

Anti-tank Hogg's "Tank Killing" is an enjoyable book that attempts to cover all aspects of anti-tank warfare - one man anti-tank weapons, tank destroyers, tanks, anti-tank guns, aircraft weapons, and smart weapons. The search for a suitable longer-range delivery took up much of the immediate post-war The US invested in the recoilless rifle delivering a widely used 75mm design less-common 90mm and 106mm designs (this last was usually mounted on a jeep rather hauled across the battlefield by infantrymen). At the start of World War II many of these weapons were still used operationally along with a newer generation light guns that little changed from their counterparts. www.freeglossary.com /Anti-tank   (1031 words)

Anti-Traction League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fortunately for the Anti-Traction League, London was then destroyed during when an attempt to use a superweapon called MEDUSA (a remnant of the Sixty Minute War) to destroy the Shield Wall backfired, as the weapon overheated and destroyed London. This included waging a massive war against Traction Cities across the globe, which took place in the series' third book, Infernal Devices.

The Divided--Katie Waitman Waitman delivers a powerful anti-war message--difficult to do without lapsing into cliché, but she manages it; there's also a strong indictment of religious bigotry, coupled with a clear vision of the redemption faith can bring. The division of the book's title--which the Maurheti believe to be God's separation of light/good from dark/evil--is actually the separation between human beings that follows when the forms of religion, its rituals and practices, become more important than the faith it embodies. Since time immemorial, the Maurheti and Tel-mari peoples have been engaged in a vicious religious war. www.sff.net /people/VictoriaStrauss/ReviewDivided.html   (534 words)

The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering [Book Review] Finkelstein, for instance, says nothing in his book about the ongoing campaign to identify and punish Nazi war criminals, a campaign which, however controversial, is obviously not motivated by material gain. The post—war “taboo” on serious discussion of the Holocaust was not broken by the 1967 Arab—Israeli war, as he repeatedly asserts, but by the Eichmann Trial of 1960—62, as every serious account of this subject notes. What’s more, Goldhagen never refers to Zionism or Israel in his book, either explicitly or by implication. www.leaderu.com /ftissues/ft0012/reviews/rubinstein.html   (2239 words)

Book review - 'The Holocaust Industry' by Dr. Norman Finkelstein Finkelstein says the Holocaust industry was born at the time of the six-day war in June 1967 - before that both the Holocaust and Israel were scarcely mentioned in American public life. A Jewish academic is afraid that rampant exploitation of the Holocaust is summoning up a new anti-semitism. But there is, in his book, a serious problem of tone. americandefenseleague.com /holoindu.htm   (1551 words)

Nazi Propaganda Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." Adolf Hitler wrote these words in his book Mein Kampf (1926), in which he first advocated the use of propaganda to spread the ideals of National Socialism--among them racism, antisemitism, and anti-Bolshevism. German children read an anti-Jewish propaganda book titled DER GIFTPILZ ("The Poisonous Mushroom"). After the Germans began World War II with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Nazis employed propaganda to impress upon German citizens that the Jews were subhuman and that German lands must be cleared of Jews. www.ushmm.org /wlc/article.php?ModuleId=10005202   (408 words)

Ezra Pound, Treason, Fascism, and Anti-semitism Some quotes from he radio broadcasts (as taken from Charles Norman's book): In April of 1942, ``Had you had the sense to eliminate Roosevelt and his Jews or the Jews and their Roosevelt at the last election, you would not now be at war. Although Mullins was later to become a notorious anti-Semite, in his book on the Federal Reserve the anti-Semitism occurs only in a veiled form, namely in the fact that Mullins always indicates, without overtly commenting on the fact, that all the villains in his history were Jewish. I refer to Leon Surette's book (and also Tim Redman's book) for a much more thorough discussion of this point, but almost any reputable history of Italian Fascism will confirm that there were many things about it which were admired by many people whose judgement was much better than Pound's. www2.hawaii.edu /~lady/ramblings/pound2.html   (408 words)

Oliver Kamm: The ugly and the uglier This is in fact the third outing for it under the magazine's auspices, for in the meantime it has also appeared in a CounterPunch book called The Politics of Anti-Semitism (which "confronts how the slur of 'anti-semite' has been used to intimidate critics of Israel's abuse of Palestinians"). I have noted (as in the case of a crank conspiracy theorist who was an invited speaker, commended for his "fearless tirades against Zionism", at a Trotskyite rally in London a few weeks ago) the overt antisemitism that is increasingly a feature of the far-Left as well as the extreme Right. Perhaps it genuinely escaped the editors of CounterPunch - though it certainly won't have escaped the authors of this article - that the America First Committee was the name of a campaign to keep the United States out of the war against the Axis powers. oliverkamm.typepad.com /blog/2004/09/the_ugly_and_th.html   (408 words)

ClassWarNotes This book should be among those studied for complete and accurate understanding of the precursors and motivations for Bush's war on Iraq as well as the potential for peace in the region, on earth and for human survival. Recent reports by two large trade union federations praised Iraqi workers for rebuilding their labor movement after the collapse of the Saddam Hussein regime, in the face of war and terrorism, and in the face of anti-worker policies imposed by the occupying authorities and the governing coalition. As of today, over 580 towns and cities in all 50 states plan anti-war activities, according to the country's largest peace coalition United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ). classwarnotes.blogspot.com   (10052 words)

Amazon.co.uk: The Hundred Years War: England and France at War C.1300-c.1450 (Cambridge Medieval Textbooks): Books The remainder of the book describes and analyses some of the main social and economic effects of war upon society, the growth of a sense of national consciousness in time of conflict, and the social criticism which came from those who reacted to changes and development brought about by war. Obviously there were many different types of literature, and it is worth noting that some were very anti in their stance to the conflict, but the fact that they were being written show that the war was the subject for much discussion. These focus around the idea that the war was a major agent of change; because the war was on such a scale, its effects were not limited to the battle-field and the nation as a whole became increasingly involved. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0521319234   (1395 words)

Misrepresentation of a DC comic book The following is written in response to the all-too-brief summary / critique at http://www.freedomsite.org/pics/anti-german.html of the comic book story "Death Camp", which was written by J.M. DeMatteis (Weird War Tales #72 (NY: DC Comics, Feb. 1979, 1st story). To be certain, there are instances of anti-German portrayals in popular culture - in TV, film, comics, etc. However, this comic book story is not such an example. He is described as being "blind to the horrors and atrocities of global conflict" and is visibly shocked upon seeing the death camp for the first time. www.nizkor.org /features/techniques-of-denial/comic.html   (814 words)

National Catholic Reporter: The Popes Against The Jews: The Vatican's Role In The Rise Of Modern Anti-Semitism. . - Spring books: book takes on papal anti-Semitism - book review It did fail to highlight that popular preaching, catechesis as well as church art had a decisive hand in aiding the growth of modern anti-Semitism, which "We Remember" is correct in attributing primarily to non-religious factors such as the new genetics and its biological racism. Catholicism's 100 years war with modernity, led by the popes whose administrations Kertzer examines in this volume, came to an end only at the Second Vatican Council. Nor does he fully understand the theology of the church that is present within the document. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1141/is_13_38/ai_82885015   (1002 words)
