Expected and undisturbed Hezbollah coup
2008-05-12 20:37:00 Hezbollah has been rearming quite quickly- it has now close to 45,000 rockets, more than before the onset of the summer 2006 war with Israel- under the eyes of the helpless UNIFIL forces. For proof the March 30 incident when a missiles shipment coming from Syria was controlled at Jbal al Botm by an Italian battalion, part of the UNIFIL forces, and then authorized to continue to reach its final recipient: Hezbollah. I just wrote on Hezbollah's coup for The Middle East Times . To read the whole article,...(read more)

2008-04-22 04:01:00 From: Helen Vlachos Doesn't Love You Anymore: Conversations With A Greek In Exile ...On a table in the living room is a short-wave receiver tuned to the Voice of America. "I always listen to their news broadcasts," Mrs. Vlachos explains. "When the Voice of America refers to 'the Greek junta' instead of to 'the government of Greece,' I'll know that American policy has changed, that I will soon be able to return home." Post-Scarcity Totalitarianism The image of contemporary Greece that Mrs. Vlachos conveys is a powerful and tragic one. It is a country, she says, whose democratic institutions are stifled by a brutal elite of cynical opportunists. The list of their abuses is long. The power of the colonels, she asserts, is upheld by secret police, political arrests, widespread surveillance, torture, censorship, rigged trials, martial law, blacklists, academic and clerical purges, faked reports, NATO, the CIA, and the fixers. Her charges are sweeping and well-documented...

I can say more, using words that aptly describe how I feel, but unfortunately, they?re unprintable. With the current buzz in political and media circles, it is apparent that our dear president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, will be pardoning the recently convicted nine Magdalo soldiers who plotted against her government in 2003 by forcibly taking over the Oakwood Hotel and demanding her resignation.

Kylie Doctor Who celebrity coup
2007-12-26 13:42:00 The BBC's Xmas day TV gem this year was a Doctor Who Christmas special, Voyage of the Damned, starring Kylie Minogue as The Doctor's trusty assistant aboard the doomed space cruise-ship, The Titanic.Kylie has been the hottest celebrity coup in 2007 with populist programmes like X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing clammering for her participation in order to garner ratings - all good public exposure for Kylie too (she sings to sell records after all).Kylie fans, young and old, were probably wetting themselves with anticipation for Kylie's acting appearance in Doctor Who, which has regained cult status since writer Russell T Davies took the helm of the tardis - and they were not disappointed. Kylie played Astrid, a waitress aboard The Titanic thrust (quite literally) into the arms of current Doctor, David Tennant, when he collides with the space ship.Their struggle to save The Titanic from the evil robotic 'Hosts' controlled by Max Capricorn mimicked the classic disaster movie gen...

Counter Coup?
2007-12-06 03:24:00 I suggested here from the get go that Secretary Of Defense Robert Gates was responsible for the release of the Iran NIE. Well Andrew Sullivan seems to agree And although it was a Democratic victory, it may help salvage something for the Bush administration's legacy in the Middle East. And that is the deeper point. No single party in our polity can claim credit for all of this. The course adjustment was a function of different entities fighting one another, reacting to events and facts, and thereby forging a more sensible war policy. What no single entity wanted came eventually to pass. It's shaping up to be a text-book lesson in the virtues of separating powers. Dictatorships cannot do this in wartime, which is why they often lose; neither can unchecked executives in democracies. But it's a good thing.The key players will only emerge definitively with the judgment of history. But my roster of those who helped get us back toward a rational war-policy would put Bob Gates and David ...

Telltale Signs/ THE CARICATURE COUP
2007-12-02 20:00:00 Trillanes, Lim and Guingona at the Manila Peninsula Hotel Rodel E. RodisThe 1986 People Power revolution that brought down the Marcos Dictatorship was instigated by the foiled coup attempt of a group of soldiers called the Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM) led by an ambitious young colonel named Gregorio “Gringo†Honasan. Although the RAM coup attempt failed, the government’s subsequent move to crush it resulted in the People Power overthrow of the Marcos Dictatorship.Because the Philippines is a nation of copycats, young “idealistic†military officers have since sought to copy the RAM example. Including the last one on November 29, 2007, there have been at least thirteen abortive coups since 1986: nine against President Cory Aquino from 1986 to 1989 and four (so far) against President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo since 2001.The most serious coup attempt was the one that nearly toppled Aquino in December of 1989 and involved the military occupation of several hotels in Ma...

makati's bungled coup attempt
2007-11-30 11:33:00 Yesterday was another interesting day in Makati City, highlighted by another bungled 'coup' attempt, mutiny, rebellion, standoff, or what-have-you, led by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and Brigadier General Danilo Lim, which was staged at the posh Manila Peninsula hotel.'Tis true, the government has lost the support of a great number of Filipinos, mostly induced by the recent spate of scandals, questions on legitimacy and alleged constitutional and human rights violations. True still is the fact that the opposition is slowly gaining ground in its attempts to wrest control of the government leadership. But whatever momentum the opposition has gained went for naught simply because they can't put their act together. Haven't they ever heard of the 'team building' concept?Oh well, are there other lessons to be learned? Hell, yes!And some of these are:1. Never make bookings in any of Makati's premier hotels. Settling for three-star hotels or motels will do.2. Make sure you have eno...
News Not Fit to Print: US Coup Planned for Venezuela?
2007-11-30 09:41:00 by Dave Lindorff The New York Times had a news article about Venezuela in Thursday’s edition, but it was about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez saying he would cut diplomatic ties with neighboring Colombia. There wasn’t a word about a memo from a CIA operative in Caracas to CIA Director General Michael Hayden, uncovered yesterday, outlining a plan for interfering with a Venezuelan referendum set for Dec. 2, and laying out the steps for instigating and backing a coup. The plot, called “Operation Pliers,” and laid out in the letter to Hayden by an undercover operative named Michael Steele, who reportedly works in the US Embassy as a “regional affairs officer,” was intercepted by Venezuelan intelligence and released publicly on state TV yesterday. In the Nov. 20-dated letter, Steele refers to an $8 million US-funded in-country propaganda campaign against Chavez and the referendum, already being implemented, which is designed to institutionalize many of Chavez’s socialist reforms and...
