The CIA Attempts to kill Castro
An interesting documentary about the U.S attempts to kill Fidel Castro over the last five decades. Some of the ridiculous CIA attempts makes one really laugh ! The full documentary can be watched via the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RtFFkd73xo&list=SL&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fshow%2F638waystokillcastro&has_verified=1
The interesting irony was that, the assassination of Castro was a big priority for president J. F . Kennedy who himself was later assassinated by a sniper assassin !

British atrocities during the Mau Mau uprising revealed
The current British government was forced to release classified documents containing shocking details of British colonial atrocities committed in Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising ( between 1950 and 1960 ). The documents show how much British colonial officers have been involved in employing the most cruel torture techniques against the Kenyans, including beating up and roasting the revolutionaries alive as well as severe sexual assaults and castration which they used as the most common and routine torture techniques!
Sadly, the current British government is helping the American empire commit atrocities across North Africa, Middle East and Central Asia !

Thousands protest U.S. military Occupation in Iraq
Thousands of Iraqis took the streets demanding the end of U.S military occupation. This comes after the U.S Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, suggested the possibility of U.S troops to remain in Iraq for years to come !

'Arab Flu' - West Next? - Cross Talk
A very interesting debate about the current events in the Middle East. As expected, the puppet Arab regimes and their neoconservatives masters are playing the Islamist card to discredite the unfolding popular uprising in the Arab world !

NATO in Libya, two weeks on
After almost two weeks of air strikes against Colonel Qadaffi military forces and assets, there is no sign of the end game. Despite the NATO air cover under the fake pretext of "protecting civilians", and despite the CIA/MI6 joint covert operations, the Rebels have been unable to make any significant advance against Colonel Qaddafi`s forces. In fact, to evade NATO, Qaddafi forces have adopted an obvious tactic in the front lines, which is to get rid of their regular army uniforms and deploy similar vehicles used by the Rebels.Which makes it very difficult for NATO to distinguish who is who from the air ! Just this morning there are reports of a NATO air strike against a Rebel convoy.
Now given that there is no sign of Qaddafi leaving anytime soon, questions are now being asked about what next. To a certain degree, the Western coalition has definitely underestimated Qaddafi`s ability to stay in power.One of the reasons for this, is in my view, the Western reliance on dissident Libyans living abroad ! Few weeks ago, a lot of dissidents here in the UK, claimed that Qadaffi`s regime would fall within days because of mass defections.Clearly, this has not happened so far, despite the recent defections ( or kidnapping ? ) of people like Moussa Koussa, there is no sign that regime will collapse anytime soon. Indeed, having realized this, the Western coalition is now considering arming and training the Rebels, which at first glance seems to go against the current U.N resolution. However, it seems there is a way around, as the British prime argued, the resolution allows " all necessary measures to protect civilians", even though one may argue whether the Rebels are really ordinary civilians or whether the measures also apply to pro - Qaddafi civilians !
