by Fintan Dunne, BreakForNews.com, 29th April, 2009, 07:00 ESTAmid a growing international focus on a suspicious mass flu outbreak around intensive pig production facilities in Mexico, government officials there have resorted to lying about the type of flu which struck hundreds of locals. At a press conference on Monday, Mexican Health Minister José Ángel Córdova assured the media that a flu

Silvio Berlusconi is resigning as head of the Italian Government in a technical move to launder the image of a regime now clearly rejected by Italian voters. The aim is to avoid an election which would see the government parties hammered by voters. The second- and third-biggest parties in Berlusconi's four- way coalition, the Union of Christian Democrats and the National Alliance, both want to

Attacks by resistance fighters are escalating again across Iraq, as violence returns to the levels seen before January, 2005. Two US soldiers were killed Tuesday evening in a sucicide car bomb attack in Baghdad, the military said. Six died and 44 were wounded outside an Iraqi army recruitment center. Four Iraqi soldiers were also killed in an attack Tuesday against an army patrol in Khalidiyah,

A deadly poison said to be at the heart of a terrorist conspiracy against Britain led to a dire warning of another al-Qa'ida attack in the West. The Government was swift to act on the fear that such a find generated. But, as Severin Carrell and Raymond Whitaker report, far from being a major threat, the real danger existed only in the mind of a misguided individual living in a dingy north London

The Pentagon has released the summary of a top secret Pentagon document, which sketches America's agenda for global military domination. How does Washington intend to reach its goal of global military hegemony? Essentially through a new undeclared arms race, requiring a massive shift out of the production of civilian goods and services, with vast amounts of public money channeled to America's

Who is General William "Jerry" Boykin? His anti-Muslim and Christian fascist remarks caused an uproar when they were reported in the major media in October 2003. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld nominated him for a third star and named him to a new position as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. Boykin also played a key role in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. And he's been put

As usual, should you or any of your BFN agent colleagues be caught or killed, this website will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck Jim.

The case against Michael Jackson has suffered likely terminal blow after the boy at the center of the case descredited himself on the witness stand over the last few days. But admitting that would mean less public interest in the case; less viewers and readers of media coverage of the case; and thus less profit for the major media. The impact of his testimony is a nettle only AFP's reporter

Federal prosecutors have urged a judge send Dr. William Hurwitz to prison for life, following his controversial conviction for narcotics-trafficking last year. Hurwitz's attorney, Marvin D. Miller, called the government request for a life sentence "absolutely insane." Hurwitz is to many a heroic figure who helped patients nobody else would treat.

by Fintan Dunne - By combining photo evidence and eyewitness accounts of the Baghdad airport shooting in which Giuliana Sgrena was wounded and Nicola Calipari killed, a compelling picture of a precision ambush emerges.The photos of the car taken from Italian television confirm this analysis. The driver's side tyre has clearly been shot out from the side. It has been pierced in the sidewall by a

There has been a dramatic collapse in support by US voters for the Iraq War. A new poll by Zogby shows a fall of 13% in support for the war -over only ten days! This is hugely significant. A shift of this magnitude over as short as ten days unquestionably indicates a broad ongoing collapse among previous war supporters.

by Fintan Dunne - Right-wing bloggers are circulating a photo purportedly showing the car in which Giuliana Sgrena was wounded and her rescuer Nicola Calipari was fatally shot. The photo is being used to discredit Sgrena's account of the shooting. At first glance the picture seems legitimate. But on the Yahoo News Photo site -I quickly found the same vehicle photographed from another angle. This

by Fintan Dunne - The official US cover-story of the events at Baghdad airport, when their forces fired at a car carrying Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena is now completely discredited. Now that we know more, the incident at the airport looks at least as consistent with an ambush as it is with a "mishap." This kidnapping fits a pattern of previous suspicious hostage-taking, consistent with a

by Kathy McMahon - U.S. forces have fired at a car carrying Italian reporter Giuliana Sgrena shortly after her liberation, killing one Italian intelligence agent and wounding two others. If the Italian intelligence agent who died shielding Sgrena had not courageously given his life, the outcome would have made it look like she had been the primary target of a planned ambush. Which is precisely

BuzzFlash: How would you define "anxious masculinity?"Stephen J. Ducat: "It's a culture based on male domination... in which most things feminine tend to be devalued, even if they are secretly envied. In such a culture, the most important thing about being a man is not being a woman... This makes disavowing the feminine in oneself and projecting it onto one’s opponent to be especially important."

A suicide bomb in a crowded marketplace near Baghdad killed 115 people and wounded 148. Reuters TV showed a pile of bloodied bodies outside the building. Smoke rose from the wreckage of burned-out market stalls as bystanders loaded mangled corpses on to wooden carts, usually used to carry fruit and vegetables.

I think it is possible to outline a list of features that are typical of what I would like to call Eternal Fascism. It would be so much easier for us if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying, "I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Blackshirts to parade again in the Italian squares." Life is not that simple.

" One is apt to be labeled a conspiracy theorist for merely suggesting that there is a ruling class that seeks to maintain hegemony, to say nothing of the idea that the ruling class occasionally uses conspiratorial methods. Rather than conspiracy theory, most media and intellectual gatekeepers prefer to view elite behavior through the lens of "somnambulist theory," "coincidence theory," "
