RE min729: "OK, on second thought, I do have a suggestion for interview: Annie Machon ex MI5 whistle-blower turned activist..."

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION!

Or, _*DR. DAHLIA WASFI*_ -- half Arab, half Jewish, Iraqi-American (Iraqi-born), anti-Zionist, and anti-war activist (ref., YouTube and LiberateThis.com): *ANTI-ZIONIST* -- so she can’t even get on Democracy Now(!!), BECAUSE AMY GOODMAN *WON’T PERMIT* AVOWED *ANTI-ZIONISTS*, OR CRITICS OF THE *ISRAEL LOBBY*, OR ADVOCATES OF *BDS* (boycotts, divestments & sanctions) AGAINST ISRAEL ITSELF, OR ANYONE WHO LOOKS AT *ISRAEL* AS AT LEAST ONE MAJOR REASON FOR THE IRAQ WAR AND CONSTANTLY U.S.-THREATENED WAR AGAINST IRAN, ON "DEMOCRACY NOW" -- "THE SHOW THAT BREAKS THE SOUND BARRIER", AS AMY GOODMAN *CLAIMS* -- GOODMAN, A *LIBERAL/MODERATE*, BUT NOT *FUNDAMENTAL/INCISIVE*, CRITIC OF ISRAEL OR ITS IDEOLOGY, BUT STILL NOT AT ALL OF ITS LOBBY!

Or, *KAREN KWIATKOWSKI* (who openly says that THAT THE WAR IN IRAQ WAS _A WAR FOR ISRAEL_), or Cindy Sheehan, or Medea Benjamin, or Ann Wright.

And there are a whole bunch of prominent *ANTI-ZIONIST PALESTINIAN WOMEN* ACTIVISTS (in Palestine, Britain and America) that Assange could interview on his show. These women are as sophisticated as any woman, as anyone, in the West.

Or, *GIGI IBRAHIM*, the prominent Egyptian pro-democracy woman blogger from Egypt. (Oh, and there’s another very conscious Egyptian woman activist living in Egypt who’s name I can’t remember off-hand, but I’ll try to look it up later: she was on a BBC’s Newsnight panel, but Newsnight only let her say a couple of sentences, or more likely edited out the rest of what she said.) Of course, there’s Asmaa Mahfouz who almost single-handedly set off the Egyptian Tahrir Sqaure revolution with her famous video. There’s Miral (see YouTube). There’s also Egyptian feminist blogger Aliaa Maghda El-Mahdy who, in 2011, defiantly posed nude to make a bold feminist statement for/about Egypt (especially about Egyptian society hypocrisy, and religious patriarchy, among other things, when it comes to women, like that which occurs even in the West, if to a stronger degree in the Mideast) in her blog. There’s the very famous Egyptian feminist and author, Nawal el Sadaawi. These women, too, are as sophisticated as any woman, as anyone, in the West.

Of course, there’s Aung San Suu Kyi -- but she still might have to be too careful about what she says, so she may or may not be a good intervewee.

I’m sure min729 that once you, like I, get thinking, we could respectively come up with quite an impressive list of politically conscious and global justice WOMEN’S VOICES for Julian to interview. JULIAN’S 4TH SHOW *HAS* TO INCLUDE A *POLITICALLY CONSCIOUS* WOMAN.

And, actually, there are some very impressive and politically conscious *BLACK WOMEN IN/FROM BRITAIN* (public policy and sociology academics like professor & author *MEKADA GRAHAM*, or prominent social justice activists, or Black community media activist *MONETTE MORRIS*, and others) that Julian could interview about the intellectually informed, politically conscious Black experience with, and scholarly perception of, British society (just don’t pick any of the very few Black, Brown, or otherwise, politicians in Britain because they all have to ’bite their tongues’, and they usually run from mainstream to conservative ). Or, how about interviewing Assata Shakur in Cuba!: now *that* would be another very daring interview!

RE:

Jim Evans in Worcester
Question to Otto von Bulow:

Q

“Didn’t the U.S. occasionally send kidnapped/"renditioned" victims to places like Syria and, before, Libya to be tortured?”

A

No, USA has never sent their victims to Syria , Qaddaf’s Libya or Iran . The U.S. torture chambers are located in Israel, Turkey, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt ( although Mubarak closed them down in 2010).

__________________________________________________________________


Actually, the U.S. *did* send torture victims (at *least* one) to Syria which was, (like Gaddafi’s Libya) more than happy to be invited to suck up to, and curry favor from, by providing certain favors to, the U.S.. In particular, Qaddafi *enthusiastically* volunteered and enrolled in the U.S. so-called "war on terror" -- as, at first, so did Iran (i.e., *try*, but the U.S. still tried to screw Iran over anyway). I’m not aware of any U.S.-renditioned victims sent to Iran, though, for torture.

You can go look up THE VERY FAMOUS CASE IN CANADA of Maher Arar (I suggest Wikipedia for a first stop), a totally innocent Canadian citizen kidnapped in the U.S., detained, and sent ("renditioned") to Syria for torture, where he was imprisoned for almost a year, until the Canadian government won his release. While the Canadian government -- and its *very conservative* prime minister (Stephen Harper) -- has totally cleared him (and compensated him over $10-million for Canada’s original role/complicity with the U.S. in his rendition to Syria), the U.S. government (even Obama!), of course, *refuses* to clear him and he is still on a no-fly list in the U.S..

Then there was THE VERY FAMOUS CASES IN BRITAIN of Abdul Hakim Belhaj and Sami al Saadi, who were kidnapped and "renditioned" by Britain -- with the U.S. as an accomplice -- to Qaddafi’s Libya for imprisonment and torture in one of Qaddafi’s ’famous’ torture prisons (Belhaj for over 4 years) before they were freed. Belhaj is now suing the British government.

But, those were *Syrian* and *Libyan* torture prisons. But, as far as I can tell, you are right about your list of foreign *U.S.* &/or *other* torture prisons at the U.S.’s service/availability. (Although none in Egypt and Iraq *today* for U.S. use/availability as "rendition" torture destinations. But, I’m not sure about in Turkey, these days.)

More later (sorry, I have to work on my further replies to you piecemeal)...

OK, on second thought, I do have a suggestion for interview: Annie Machon ex MI5 whistle-blower turned activist, tours the world informing people about false flag operations that are frequently carried out by intelligence agencies i.e. MI6, CIA, Mossad etc

I’m really glad to have this man as our president after the revolution.
He is a human rights defender and he is a man who has a respectable academic level.
now all tunisians must accept the election results and contribute to build tomorrow’s Tunisia.
Good luck Tunisia.
Sami Gh

for marzouki to[1] support the syrian free army and the bahrain king in one breath[2]to say that the Palestinian crisis is an non issue for Tunisian ..,says that this president is a man for dollar’s.

The World Tomorrow and J. Assange must be very upsetting to corporate media and the ’self censoring’ news cartels. Good. Some of us, the passive, mass of entertainment consumers, wonder about the interiors of difficult places. May there be shows related to Libya now, Algeria, NATO ambitions? Anyone want 2035?

Marzouki is a smooth talker I respect his past but what is more important is now. Now there are still police brutality , still injustice ,still repression, still censorship,casualties of the revolution are on hunger strike because of the contempt of the authorities towards them. As a Tunisian Im not able to understand how much politician are a liares.

lol marzougi is not even a real president , we call him here ( tartour ) first he managed to win in his district by 6000 vote(come third ) and barely made it ( 10000 is minimum for a place , he took the last place ) secondly his authorities are a joke , the only real authority is to sign and declare war and peace ! also , this powerless president is wasting our budget on his advisers 31 so far , each presidential adviser has the same salary and benefit as a minister , 31 advisers and he has no authorities ! also the secular activist is now becoming islamist since that’s the new fashion ( he allied himself with nahdha party , USA backed muslim brotherhood in tunisia ) . this guy is a joke ,lost most of his popularity and his party is in chaos , he will probably leave the country if he finish his one year presidency , since he can go to jail for wasting public money

Jim Evans in Worcester: "In the long run we will only survive as a species if we THINK and ACT as ONE mankind.....if we don`t life will continue to be a battle between elites using whatever means are most effective..."

The "means"?: yes..., usually the *rest* of us going off to "patriotically" kill and be killed (or maimed) *for* the elites -- killing mostly *ordinary* people, more or less really just like us, in other countries.

{ When Whiskey Rebellion farmers once complained to George Washington about excessive U.S. taxes on them, and reminded ole George about they fought in the American Revolution *against* excessive taxation, without sufficient representation/say, ole George, in effect, said, ’Well, that was *then*...; this is *now*!’

And Confederate troops were fighting for slavery -- in effect, fighting for ’corporate’ slavery agriculture -- when most white Southerners didn’t even *own* slaves!

War is always about the young and the relative poor fighting for the old and the corporate rich ! Of course, the elite have to come up with _*a good story*_ to send us off to wars of aggression, even sometimes preposterously describing them as wars of defense. The elite can’t tell us, "You go fight, kill even women and their children, get maimed or die for the United Fruit Company’s / the rich emirs’ / the Zionists’ manipulated wars!"

No less than Winston Churchill said that WWI could have been won without firing a *single* shot, until it was too late -- because many right-wing elements in government and industry in the West actually once *supported* Hitler, over the anti-Nazi resistance in Germany against Hitler, the resistance that coudln’t understand *why* the West wouldn’t diplomatically isolate and cut Hitler off at the knees, until it was too late to do so without a huge war! }
