Islamophobia is creating a global police state

It's a neocon-fabricated “state of emergency” built on demonizing Muslims

Hitler built a German police state by demonizing Jews (and Slavs, Gypsies, communists, modern artists, and lots of other folks). Lenin and Stalin built a Russian police state by demonizing “the class enemy.” Today, neoconservatives and their allies are even more ambitious. They are building a global police state – a totalitarian New World Order – by demonizing Muslims.

Save public discourse and debate!

By

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced he wants to give away $45 billion. I’m sure he needs some advice on how to spend it.

CRS on Islamic State and US Policy

Phi Beta Iota: The CRS report is superb on the facts in relation to the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (ISIS) if one assumes they are an autonomous entity.  It falls severely short in failing to inform Congress on the culpability of elements of the US Government (CIA, State, Pentagon), Saudi Arabia, and Turkey as well as Israel, Qatar, and Iraq, in creating ISIS, nurturing ISIS, and protecting ISIS.

Coleen Rowley: Another Illegal War is Insane

Bush really lied when he claimed “we'll fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here.” The wars have only produced more death and destruction, failed states, hatred and terrorism worldwide which has not only destroyed large parts of the Middle East (much of which, before US-NATO intervention, was previously secular and opposed to radical Saudi Arabian-Al Qaeda-ISIS style terrorism) but terrorism that is now beginning to reach Europe and Russia. I warned, long ago, that Bush's launching the illegal war on Iraq would prove counterproductive.  A recipe for disaster, the longest war in US history just keeps enlarging its war zone.  It cannot be long before the US suffers attacks like those in Paris, Beirut, Baghdad and which apparently blew up the Russian airliner.
