Tomorrow morning Julian Assange will start his final legal battle over extradition to Sweden in the UK Supreme Court. The liberal media that were once in bed with him however passed judgement a long time ago during his 400+ days under house arrest without charge. In fact, it seems certain liberal journalists have now declared [...]

A must read by Seamus Milne on Norway and Islamophobia
Posted in Blog, Sweden on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The rise of Islamophobia in Europe and the US is the manipulated product of a toxic blend of economic insecurity, unprotected mass migration and the consequences of a decade of western-sponsored war in the Muslim world: from Afghanistan to Iraq, Pakistan to Libya. It has become the new acceptable form of racism – far [...]

Al Jazeera recently asked me to make a viewer contribution to its thought provoking media analysis show The Listening Post which you can watch above. This week it looked at the mainstream media’s reaction to the release of the Iraq War Logs by WikiLeaks. The point I make is: The constant media reporting of the [...]

One frequent justification liberal apologists give for the illegal invasion of Iraq is that for all its failings, at least it removed Saddam Hussein.

Great interview here with John Pilger on Russia Today (Pilger is not particularly welcome in the mainstream media nowadays because he’s a bit too honest about the crimes of the West). Pilger highlights the fact that since journalists are now “embedded” in warzones, have had their budgets cut or simply spout the same garbage that [...]

Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet has revealed that key decision makers at the World Health Organization (WHO) are also being paid by the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing the vaccine.

Staying on the medical theme, authorities in Sweden have announced that free swine flu vaccinations will be issued across the country from the end of September. I’m curious though as to how many Swedes will take-up this offer and how much they know about the controversy surrounding the jabs. It’s never a good sign when [...]
