Democracy Now, January 06, 2010

In an extended interview, award-winning journalist and activist Allan Nairn looks back over the Obama administration’s foreign policy and national security decisions over the last twelve months. “I think Obama should be remembered as a great man because of the blow he struck against white racism,” Nairn says. “But [...] the US has a machine that spans the globe, that has the capacity to kill, and Obama has kept it set on kill. He could have flipped the switch and turned it off… but he chose not to do so.” He continues, “In fact, as far as one can tell, Obama seems to have killed more civilians during his first year than Bush did in his first year, and maybe even than Bush killed in his final year.”

Siriel-Media comment : Nairn gives real examples of how US and NATO forces wilfully target and murder civilians and he asks the right questions concerning how we would feel if foreign forces bombed civilians and murdered people freely in our own country. Nairn has the capacity to speak the hard truth calmly, as it is, and to look at the horrible truth beyond our self-serving lies and propaganda. A rare hard look at reality (but remember, it is a reality we can change).

( Siriel-Média : Subtilement, plus loin dans la lettre, il est question des millions d’êtres humains qui meurent de maladies pourtant faciles à soigner.)

D’entrée de jeu, sachez que je ne sais pas.  Je n’ai aucune idée d’où vient cette souche A (H1N1) de la grippe ni si le vaccin peut avoir des effets négatifs ; je n’ai tout simplement pas eu le temps de faire ma propre recherche pour le moment.  Par contre, en réponse à la chronique récente de M. Pierre Foglia, que j’aime bien dans La Presse (Montréal), j’aimerais partager une réflexion sur le fait de choisir, de manière réfléchie, sa position quant à cette grippe et à son vaccin.

M. Foglia écrit…

Nous savons aujourd’hui que des forces de destruction nous menacent tous et, avec nous, la Terre des vivants. Ces forces sont démesurées mais c’est nous, les humains, qui sommes responsables de leur déchaînement. L’avidité, la violence et l’ignorance, volontaire ou non, sont à la source du mal.

It has been a year now since the Siriel-Media shared here a link to the creation of the Independent World Television (IWT): it was a ray of hope. Now, in July 2007, this project is a reality and its main news program is named the REAL news.

The official launch of this new independent and free news station will be in Fall 2007, but you can use the beta version now! As webmaster of the Siriel-Media, I am proud to state that I will donate what I can (the IWT suggest 10$/month from the millions of people who can afford to donate accross the world). The Siriel-Media will share an IWT newsfeed in its sidebars.

In 2008, the REAL news will use the US presidential elections to demonstrate to the people of America how news should be different than what we have now.

The Siriel-Media fully supports Dahr Jamail’s reporting: he is one of the extremely rare independent people to actually report what the people of Iraq feel and think. We salute his courage and humanity and hope many will donate to make sure he can return to Iraq and other regions where truth is the victim of war.

Dahr Jamail is returning to the Middle East to cover several stories regarding the occupation of Iraq and U.S. policy in the region that have been entirely absent from mainstream media.

Your contributions are essential for Dahr’s independent, unfiltered, on the ground journalism!
