Death Tolls For Western Imperialism, Colonialism and 3rd World Capitalism
2008-11-15 12:23:00 Via Gideon Polya. In general, the figures are post-WW2. He also takes to task the "incompetent governance" in South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, India and Pakistan) with massive deaths.The Global Avoidable Mortality blog looks pretty interesting, and I have mucked around there a bit.The part about 500 million dead Muslims post-1950 looks pretty interesting, but I haven't looked into that yet.More Polya here.Total excess mortality per year as of 2004:Iraq 122,000Afghanistan 359,000India 2.2 millionPakistan 478,000Bangladesh 288,000In Iraq and Afghanistan, those are the excess deaths that are probably occurring due to Coalition activities (especially in Iraq). In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, the excess deaths are probably due to the lack of socialism.

Revolutionary War Historian Joseph Ellis Says U.S. Imperialism Violates ?Hi
2008-04-22 15:32:00 America's military presence in Iraq represents "a basic violation" of its "historic identity," that of a nation founded in opposition to imperialism, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis said. Americans have neglected an important lesson from their own past, Ellis, an authority on the Revolutionary War period, said. "We have become the imperial power. We have become Great Britain and have succeeded Great Britain as the hegemonic power of the world. I would think we would wish to avoid making some of the mistakes she made." He challenged the idea that the U.S. needs a military presence in South Korea and Western Europe as well as Iraq. "The notion that (our problems) are going to be solved in a military fashion is fundamentally misguided and it's going to send us right down the path that Britain went and into oblivion," Ellis warned in a recent talk at the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover.

Fighting Amerikkkan neo-colonialism and imperialism through music
2007-10-20 04:14:00 One drop of the torrential rain of shame from the Amerikkkan hegemonical heavens is the systematic oppression of the innocent and culturally colorful American (Shacha Runa in Quechua).

Imperialism's Rant
2007-08-29 18:00:00 What is one of the bigger problems facing the USA today?Watch this short video and then answer that question.This man is not to be made fun, he is to be pitied. He is a product of people like Ted Nugent, and Ted Nugent is a product of other Ted Nugent’s, and they are all the byproduct of years and years of the (1) dumbing down of the American education system, particularly K through 12, (2) which includes the educators. They are a product as well of (3) the lack of any worthy historical perspectives and of (4) the growing divide and disconnect between the rich and the middleclass/poor.(1) George W. Bush: “The illiteracy rate of our children are appalling.”(2) The educators, both k-12 and college professors, are, in many cases just plain lazy and do not search for the truths under the sheen of their own phantom power, or they have incorporated the lies they’ve been sold into their own fixed paradigm of reality (truth) and then pass this “truth” down from generation to gen...

AP Says U.S. Imperialism Cause of ‘World’s Gravest Problems&rsq
2007-08-01 16:00:00 Once again, and engaging in perfect Soviet styled historical revisionism, our glorious MSM presents the “truth” of how failed Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was really the one who “helped” the U.S. win the Cold War. AP claims Gorby brought about the fall of the Soviet Union but this “ushered in an era of U.S. imperialism,” which the AP claims is responsible for “many of the world’s gravest problems.” So, according to the AP Gorby helped the U.S. win the Cold War, but his good deed is now the cause of all the world’s ills? How losing the game can equate to an assist to the winners is anyone’s guess. Every couple of months the left leaning western MSM dusts off this old loser to beat up the United States. And with this one the AP mixes their hero worship of Mikhail Gorbachev with their hatred of the U.S.A. in a crescendo of far left double speak that is just incredible for its cluelessness.

High Level Corruption: New tool of Imperialism
2007-07-26 08:07:00 From decades, Imperialism is trying to spread its roots throughout the globe and got success in achieving its goals by various means. Imperialism as compared to Colonialism has used altogether different strategy to rule over the globe. Practice of colonialism was to invade another country and takeover the rulers and all the administration and implement their rule in that country. In this way, Britain, France, Netherlands and many other countries has ruled throughout the globe. But after certain period of time they have to leave those countries due to many reasons like common masses waked up and raised slogans for independence and ruling these countries has became hectic work in itself. Therefore these colonial powers removed their presence from small countries one by one giving individual countries right to independence.Then arrived, the period of Imperialism. The new era of modified strategies, advanced machines and weapons. Most important difference between colonialism and imperia...

IMPERIALISM AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
2007-07-11 20:37:00 Allama Muhammad Iqbal?s four Urdu works, including Bang-e-Dara (The Call of the Highway) Bal-e-Jibril (Gabriel?s Wing), Zarb-e-Kalim (The Rod of Moses), and Armaghan-e-Hijaz (The Gift of Hijaz), which were first published in 1924, 1935, 1936 and 1938 respectively, contain a large number of verses, bemoaning the Western imperial domination over the Muslims. Addressing the Muslim world, Iqbal composed several stirring forms, including Dunya-e-Islam and Tulu-e-Islam, in which he postulated the view that in the modern age Western imperial domination has provided the catalytic impulse for Muslims to ?be true Muslims,? and to examine the causes for their internal decay and the conditions leading to their political subordination. (West?s typhoon turned a Muslim into a [true] MuslimThe way waves of the ocean nourish a pearl in the oyster.)Iqbal projected Islam as an activist political ideology, which was superior to the contemporary ideologies. Islam infused a new spirit of life in the dea...

Rich Nations Accused of Green Imperialism on Climate Change
2007-06-25 22:45:00 So this makes total sense to me. Certain Asian governmental and business leaders are saying that Rich countries like the United States are being hypocritical about green house gas emissions. The reason? The United States constantly criticizes China for all their green house gas emissions, yet U.S. companies go to countries like China for cheap labor and then sell back to there home countries for extremely high profits. They are calling this "Green Imperialism".Now for the first time China has surpassed the amount of carbon dioxide emissions that the U.S. emitted(now the world's second largest emitter) by 8%. China alone produced 6.2 billion tonnes in carbon dioxide emissions last year according to Asianews.itMy opinion is that these leaders are absolutely correct. Most rich countries like the U.S., Japan, and countries in Europe benefit directly from cheap labor in China and then turn around and blame China for pollution. Its complete hypocrisy.This is a book that I just came acros...

Super-Imperialism: The Shameful Legacy of Liberal Democrats
2007-04-29 21:57:00 By Carolyn Baker 4/28/07 Originally published at Speaking Truth to Power It is a war against the globalization of the market, against the destruction of nature and the confiscation of resources, against the termination of indigenous peoples and their lands, against the growing maldistribution of wealth and the consequent decline in standards of living for all but the rich. --Andrew Kopkind Professor Michael Hudson, an independent Wall St. financial economist, has written an extraordinary book entitled Super Imperialism: The Origins and Fundamentals Of U.S. World Dominance. I first heard of Michael Hudson when browsing Bonnie Faulkner?s ?Guns And Butter? website, and as I listened to him, I knew that I needed to read Super Imperialism for many reasons, not the least of which is that I am not an economist and am only beginning to educate myself on how the money works in the domestic and world economies. For this reason, I have been reluctant to write a review of Hudson?s book; I...

There are some Maoist movements in the world today - a huge one in the Philippines called the New People's Army, one in Nepal that has just laid down its arms and is participating in the political system and a large movement in India. There is also a very small movement in Turkey and a largely defeated movement in Peru, the Shining Path. Of these, the Shining Path was the most militant and extreme. There is also a significant Maoist movement in Bangladesh. This blog supports the movements in Philippines, India and Nepal. Our reasons for supporting the Nepalese revolutionaries are given here.

America, Democracy, and Imperialism
2007-03-01 17:59:02 Along the lines of my brief aside a while back on Why Do We Go To War?, Democracy Now! had a show earlier this week that intrigued me. In it, Amy Goodman interviewed Chalmers Johnson on his new book, ?Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic”. In his new book, CIA analyst, distinguished scholar, and best-selling author Chalmers Johnson argues that US military and economic overreach may actually lead to the nation’s collapse as a constitutional republic. It’s the last volume in his Blowback trilogy, following the best-selling “Blowback” and “The Sorrows of Empire.” In those two, Johnson argued American clandestine and military activity has led to un-intended, but direct disaster here in the United States. [includes rush transcript] Chalmers Johnson is a retired professor of international relations at the University of California, San Diego. He is also President of the Japan Policy Research Institute. Johnson has written for several p...

El imperialismo norteamericano y la luna
0000-00-00 00:00:00 Por último, consideremos el interés de varios países desarrollados en instalar bases lunares. Y es que es un excelente sitio para vigilar y agredir a los demás pueblos de nuestro planeta. No nos extrañemos entonces si en la Casa Blanca empiezan a sonar raros aullidos en las noches de luna llena. Desde tiempos inmemoriales se habla de la influencia de la luna en las cosas de nuestro planeta. Las mareas se deben a la atracción gravitacional de nuestro satélite. Para muchos agricultores las fases de la luna son importantes a la hora de sembrar o de recoger la cosecha. Lobos y coyotes, incluso algunos perros, les da por aullar cuando hay luna llena. Se dice también que muchos trastornados mentales se excitan con la luna y, por eso, se les califica de lunáticos. Nosotros tenemos al loco Juan Carabina, que se la pasa llorando cuando la luna no ilumina las noches de San Fernando y los españoles tuvieron a “ese toro enamorado de la luna”.
