By ORIENTAL REVIEW

Russian and Chinese refusal to support UN sanctions against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the end of August has caused a dramatic outburst of criticism in Western media and from the local human rights activists. On Tuesday the Facebook group ‘Syrian Revolution 2011’ posted a banner in Russian condemning Moscow for allegedly ‘killing the Syrians’. [...]

Who Bin Laden’s Skull Is Grinning At?

By Pyotr ISKENDEROV (Russia)

A decade since the terrorist attack that shook the US on September 11, 2001, we are at the point where it is appropriate to revisit the lessons the world learned from the drama and to reassess its global impact.

Revolt In Libya a Message to Chavez

By Nil NIKANDROV (Russia)

The Libyan rebels’ August 23 attack on the Venezuelan embassy and compound in Tripoli went largely unreported, though fatalities were narrowly averted as Venezuelan ambassador Afif Tajeldine and the embassy staff moved to a safer location at the last moment and left Libya shortly thereafter. It transpired in the wake of the incident that Venezuela’s [...]

West’s Intervention in Libya Opens New Epoch

By Sergey BREZKUN (Russia)

It looks like the global community has not fully realized the seriousness of what is going on in Libya. Mass media are still reporting on some local “rebels” in Libya and only somewhere on the background of public conscience “British special troops” and “CIA experts” emerge from time to time… But this is not how [...]

The Arab Spring Grows Into Muslim Turmoil

By Dmitry SEDOV (Russia)

Informational warfare launched by the West in the Muslim world could not but result in the Arab youth betraying their traditional values and taking to the streets to express their protest. It is absolutely evident that these protests were orchestrated from overseas. This became particularly clear in the final stage of the armed confrontation in [...]

It Is Going to Be Syria’s Turn

By Melkulangara BHADRAKUMAR (India)

The visuals beamed from Tripoli last night had an eerie familiarity. Cars blowing horns, Kalashnikovs firing into the air, youth and children aimlessly wandering on streets littered with heaps of debris, western cameramen eagerly lapping up the precious words in broken English by any local fellow holding forth on the stirring ideals of the 1789 [...]

NATO’s Planned Bloodbath in Tripoli

By Steve LENDMAN (USA)

NATO intends to get the bloodbath it wants through intensified terror bombing and low-level strafing of civilians and nonmilitary sites. No matter that it grossly violates international and constitutional law, what Washington-led member states long ago trashed. Through August 22, air operations included 19,877 sorties and 7,505 strike ones, with no elaboration of their intensity [...]

Libya on the Brink

By Dmitry SEDOV (Russia)

The fall of M. Gadhafi’s regime will come as a huge success of the globalization forces seeking to establish a new world order. The proportions of the campaign the West launched in Libya and the level of sophistication of the technologies employed were impressive regardless of the accompanying political assessments – altogether they combined into [...]

What Is Going On in Tripoli?

By ORIENTAL REVIEW

After 6-months-long failing attempts to overthrow Gaddafi by the hands of ‘Libyan rebels’ and to weaken his regime by permanent bombings, the ‘democratic’ powers have put their last ace on table. On Saturday evening August 20, 2011 they have launched a large-scale special land operation in Tripoli with the support of NATO aviation. British SAS, [...]

Libya and the End of Western Illusions

By Thierry MEYSSAN (France)

Just under half of Europeans still support the war against Libya. Their position is based on erroneous information. They still believe, in fact, that in February the “Gaddafi regime” crushed the protests in Benghazi with brutal force and bombed civilian districts in Tripoli, while the Colonel himself was warning of “rivers of blood” if his [...]

Falsified Major Media Reports on Libya

By Stephen LENDMAN (USA)

Major media specialize in what they do best: truth inversion (aka bad fiction), not doing what journalists are supposed to do – their job, especially covering imperial wars for dominance and rich spoils. With Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) falling apart and rebel forces in disarray, today’s headlines belie the truth, reported by independent “un-in-bed-with” [...]
