Writings by Peace Activist S. Brian Willson
http://www.brianwillson.com/
Brian Willson is a courageous Vietnam vet who was wounded in combat — but not during the Vietnam Genocide. He was fighting a war of conscience. In 1987 a military train at a U.S. Navy munitions base intentionally ran over him and severed his legs as he and two other veterans sat on the tracks to block it. The train was carrying weapons to be used in America's ongoing holocaust of innocent civilian people in Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador.His autobiography is heartfelt, utterly unself-pitying and very instructive, particularly his experiences from Vietnam onward. Brian Willson's writing is extremely valuable, being from a deeply intelligent and genuinely moral man who has witnessed firsthand the horrors of American state terrorism around the world.
From the site:
"THIS SITE CONTAINS essays describing the incredible historic pattern of U.S. arrogance, ethnocentrism, violence and lawlessness in domestic and global affairs, and the severe danger this pattern poses for the future health of Homo sapiens and Mother Earth. Other essays discuss revolutionary, nonviolent alternative approaches based on the principle of radical relational mutuality. This is a term increasingly used by physicists, mathematicians and cosmologists to describe the nature of the omnicentric*, ever-unfolding universe. Every being, every aspect of life energy in the cosmos, is intrinsically interconnected with and affects every other being and aspect of life energy at every moment."

Michael Parenti Political Archive
http://www.michaelparenti.org/index.html
Michael Parenti, Ph.D. is one of the most vital political writers in America today. For many years he has been revealing the war crimes of U.S. imperialism and militarism — systematic crimes which are directed ultimately by an inhuman corporate capitalist plutocracy. And it is rare indeed to find someone who combines the knowledge and formal training of a Ph.D. with the ability to write both clearly and forcefully.This archive lists all his available books with tables of contents and overviews. For more recent books there are links to the full text of one or two chapters. In addition, the site makes freely available articles and other selections from Dr. Parenti's published works.
"Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice."— Michael Parenti

Throughout the site you'll find the kind of deeply informed, historically aware, refreshingly realistic analysis that only the experience of 153 years of international socialist struggle could make possible.
Millions of people are waking up to the fact that the corporate-owned, mainstream mass-media are lying to them. People of intelligence and conscience are turning off the boob-tube and turning on to truthful, non-corporate news sources on the Internet.
WSWS has a very informative section concerning the racist Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people:

The Emperor's New Clothes
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/indexe.htm
If you want to know what is really going on throughout Yugoslavia (and the rest of the world, for that matter), this is absolutely the best site to read. The Emperor's New Clothes is an essential antidote to the pervasive mass-media propaganda and disinformation about Yugoslavia, the Serbian people, and U.S. military/government war crimes in general.The Emperor's New Clothes reveals that many Americans and Europeans have learned absolutely nothing even from so great a lesson as the Jewish Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis. Incredibly, it is still possible to lead Americans and Europeans by the nose to demonize an entire ethnic group — simply by spreading lies. All you need is a relentless and pervasive mass-media smear campaign.
Since 1992 the venal mass-media of America and Germany in particular have perpetrated a vicious smear campaign of outright lies against the Serbian people, accusing them of everything from horrific "mass rapes" to "mass murders" which they never committed. In fact the exact opposite is true: more Serbians than any other ethnic group have been victims of the atrocities that actually have been committed. There are over 1 million Serbian refugees living in Yugoslavia. All these Serbian people were "ethnically cleansed" from Krajina, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo by Albanians, Croatians and Moslem Bosnians.
Adding to the mass-media coverup of this, is the coverup of the brutal American/NATO war crimes against the innocent civilian men, women and helpless children of Yugoslavia in 1999. This deception has been thoroughly exposed by long-time anti-war activist Jared Israel, Diana Johnstone and the many other insightful writers that contribute to this site.
KFOR MY ASS!
http://crash.to/KFORMYASS
This site tells the true story of the nightmarish NATO/KFOR occupation of Kosovo, a story which is buried in the back pages of the corporate-owned mass media (when it's reported at all).
American soldiers gang-raped, sodomized and murdered an 11 year-old Albanian girl. Only one (based at Fort Bragg, N.C.) plead guilty. In fact during NATO's "humanitarian" occupation there has been rape, kidnapping, torture and murder of thousands of Serbs, Roma (Gypsies) and Jews by the American-backed Albanian mafia — also known as the KLA. KLA terrorists have also dynamited many centuries-old Christian churches throughout Kosovo and caused the flight of over 200,000 Serbian, Albanian, Roma and Jewish refugees to the safety of Yugoslavia.
And all this while NATO/KFOR troops stood around watching, doing absolutely nothing about it — until almost all Serbians were dead and gone. That was the plan from the beginning. It's called "ethnic cleansing."
Then there is the continuing international heroin trafficking of the Albanian mafia in Kosovo. NATO occupation troops — called "peacekeepers" in the corporate-controlled mass-media — look the other way with this too. The KLA gets the heroin from Turkey and delivers it to junkies in Europe. Turkey, also, is a sheltered ally of the U.S.
Last but not least:
Mass sexual slavery of East European women and girls under violent Albanian pimps. These pimps are part of Albanian organized crime families, and they have murdered young women who tried to escape or weren't sufficiently cooperative.
Who are the customers? American soldiers and other NATO/KFOR "peacekeepers."
And who's paying for all this evil? You are. Your tax dollars.
These are all documented facts. But if you get your so-called "news" from the mainstream media you have absolutely no idea what is really happening in this world. The corporate-owned mass-media calls these horrors "humanitarian intervention", "peacekeeping" and "democracy."

Castle Tales
http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/vortex/castle/
"These linked tales can be used separately, dropped into conversations after sagacious pauses. They are easily remembered and serve to discredit the moral basis of common pro-war arguments (pwargs)."The degree of applicability of the fables to a given situation (these tales are of course inspired by current events in Afghanistan) may be challenged, but the failure of an axiomatic pwarg even under a hypothetical demolishes its moral credibility. By switching to an imaginary realm, one can sometimes outflank emotions and penetrate idealogical filters to reach the intellects of protagonists."
Castle Tales include:
The Single Answer, in response to the evasive and irrelevant "If you don't like the U.S., move to Iraq!" pwarg;

Irish Holocaust
http://www.irishholocaust.org/ch1_britianscoverup.html
Where did the U.S. Corporate Mafia Government learn to be such an effective instrument of state terrorism? From its own plutocratic progenitor, what is today America's favorite little snarling pet lapdog: the British government.From the Irish Holocaust site:
"Is Britain's cover-up of its 1845-1850 holocaust in Ireland the most successful Big Lie in all of history?"The cover-up is accomplished by the same British terrorism and bribery that perpetrated the genocide. Consider: why does Irish President Mary Robinson call it "Ireland's greatest natural disaster" while she conceals the British army's role? Potato blight, "phytophthora infestans", did spread from America to Europe in 1844, to England and then Ireland in 1845 but it didn't cause famine anywhere. Ireland did not starve for potatoes; it starved for food.
"Ireland starved because its food, from 40 to 70 shiploads per day, was removed at gunpoint by 12,000 British constables reinforced by the British militia, battleships, excise vessels, Coast Guard and by 200,000 British soldiers."
"If you rub it in, both at home and abroad, that you are ready for instant war, with every unit of your strength in the first line and waiting to be first in, and hit your enemy in the belly and kick him when he is down, and boil your prisoners in oil (if you take any), and torture his women and children, then people will keep clear of you."— British Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher
