Cette semaine sur L'Autre Monde:
- On se pose des questions à savoir ce qui se passe avec les élections au Québec, le cirque à Ottawa et de la hausse de plus de 10% de la dette nationale sans personne ne soit consulté. La nomination de Hillary Clinton par Obama est aussi remise en question sur L'Autre Monde.
- Les attaques à Mumbai - l'autre facette de l'histoire que les grands médias ne vous rapportent pas. Nous allons en profiter pour faire le tour de la situation avec le Pakistan et le siège médiéval que Israël impose sur les Palestiniens de la bande de Gaza qui se résulte en crise humanitaire sérieuse. Nous y reviendrons la semaine prochaine plus en détail.
Soyez au rendez-vous le jeudi à 11h sur les ondes de CHOQ FM!

As Crisis Mounts, Ecuador Declares Foreign Debt Illegitimate and Illegal
Amidst the spreading global financial crisis, a special debt audit commission released a report charging that much of
Obama confirme les choix de Hillary Clinton et de Robert Gates
Politics surely makes for strange bedfellows. President-elect Barack Obama will officially announce on Monday his choice of New York Senator Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, a position that will make her the nation's, and the world's, top diplomat. It's an appointment that for some comes as no surprise, as some sort of Obama/Clinton marriage always seemed inevitable. But to others, this decision is sure to be truly unfathomable.
Webmaster's Commentary:
No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.
Essentially, you cannot take a job if the salary was increased during your current congressional term. And the salary for cabinet officials has gone up in the past year. Even if it is lowered back down, constitutional scholars say that may not be enough to fix the problem.
The question is whether this would be an issue at confirmation - if
But the moment Obama makes the nomination, he violates the Constitution.
This is the story that nobody dares touch.
Despite having reported the discovery of Dr. Haut's signed report confirming the existence of a second wound to Vincent Foster's neck, radio host Rush Limbaugh to this very day refers to Vincent Foster's death as a suicide.
Even Matt Drudge, when presented with the FBI records proving that the FBI fraudulently manufactured Lisa Foster's recognition of the gun found at Fort Marcy Park, refused to get involved, opting instead for a story accusing Sidney Blumenthal of domestic violence (for which Drudge was then sued).
Webmaster's Commentary:
Relinked in light of Hillary Clinton's nomination for Secretary of State.

Israel Hails Takeover Of US Congress
Even more perplexing is that while Israel is facing the worst crisis facing its existence since its establishment by the United Nations in 1948 it is, nevertheless, celebrating the record number of Jews elected to the US Congress where they now control over 10 percent of a government in a Nation where they comprise only 3 percent of the population and where next week President Bush will meet with Prime Minister Olmert to plan their military attacks upon Iran

UNRWA chief: Gaza on brink of humanitarian catastrophe

Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to UNRWA Commissioner-General Abuzayd: what you are seeing on the ground in
Gazan Palestinians are, Commissioner-General, literally being "softened up" by malnutrition for "the kill'; and by that, I mean that they are being starved so they cannot resist a massive Israeli invasion which will leave no Palestinian standing, if Israel thinks they can get away with it.
Make no mistake: this siege, and the outcomes
And this impending invasion of
Webmaster's Commentary:
This virtually guarantees that many of the medically fragile in Gazan hospitals will die.
Barak closes crossings and health disaster in Gaza due to chlorine depletion
Israeli war minister Ehud Barak decided late Monday to retain the
Webmaster's Commentary:
Look for water-borne diseases like cholera to start running rampant through the Gazan population.
Of course, the Israeli government understands precisely that this will be the outcome without chlorine to purify the water.
Knowing this outcome, and doing nothing to prevent it, means that the Israeli government wants this to happen.
Essential health facilities at the Al Shifa medical center stopped functioning
Dr. Hussein Ashour, head of the Al Shifa medical center in
Ashour added that the Oxygen Department, the Heart Unit, Physical Therapy Unit and the main laboratory completely stopped functioning as they lack fundamental equipment and tools.
Webmaster's Commentary:
The Siege:
Gaza's hospitals struggle to save lives amid Israeli siege
Virtually no food, medicine or other vital supplies have been allowed in to the territory that is home to 1.5 million people. The impact of the siege is most directly observed in
Dr. Zaki Azzaq Zouq, an oncologist, explained, "There is a widespread shortage of essential medicines which we used to give to patients prior to the blockade. Currently, there are no tools for physicians to treat patients who suffer from lung, stomach, colon or brain cancers."
Webmaster's Commentary:
So much for the Israeli government's much-vaunted lie about not wanting to create a humanitarian crisis in

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner-general for the U.N.'s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which supports Palestinian refugees, warned that a humanitarian "catastrophe" loomed if Israel continued to prevent aid from reaching Gaza.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to Ms. AbuZayd: my dear lady, don't you get it? This is precisely the outcome
The siege, and lack of necessities, is not an accident, but a very carefully thought out strategy to achieve very specific outcomes.
These include death for medically fragile Gazans who are denied treatment outside of
death by water-born diseases, like cholera, because the water pumping and filtration units won't work, and severe malnutrition in children.
Ms. Abu Zayd, there is absolutely nothing accidental in what the Israelis are doing here. They know precisely what will happen as the siege continues, and that is what they want to see continue to happen.

Imagine your knowing that her death was completely preventable at that moment: it was a matter of failed power to the generator which made her dialysis machine work.

Libyan aid ship blocked from Gaza
Israeli boats have obstructed the path of a Libyan cargo ship en route to the Gaza Strip.
The ship was said to be carrying about 3,000 tonnes of goods for residents of the Strip in defiance of an Israeli sea and land blockade of the territory.
Monday's scheduled docking was the first attempt by a foreign government to break the blockade.

Israel reopens Gaza border to journalists, aid workers
Webmaster's Commentary:
One has to wonder how long the borders will stay open this time.
But this gesture demonstrates that Israel recognizes that what they are doing, regarding humanitarian aid and not allowing reporters in Gaza, is getting noticed with a great deal of alarm internationally.
On the day that Americans turned out in near record numbers to vote, another record was being set halfway around the world. In

Webmaster's Commentary:
Aerial strikes guarantee two things, and two things only; the killing of a lot of innocent civilians (and I would almost be willing to bet real money that the strike killed far more people than reported here), and the radicalization of those left standing even further against the government.
One almost has to wonder if the US is hell-bent on creating the level of destabilisation necessary to make conditions ripe for another bloodless coup, a

Truck halt on Pakistan pass may hurt U.S.
Pakistan temporarily suspended oil tankers and trucks with sealed containers from using a key passage into Afghanistan, an official said Sunday, a move that will likely impact supplies heading to U.S. and NATO troops.
The suspension came just days after a band of militants hijacked around a dozen trucks whose load included Humvees and other supplies headed to the foreign forces in
Webmaster's Commentary:
One has to wonder if the ambush is the "real reason" for the suspension of truck deliveries, or if Pakistan is sending a message to the US and NATO that they do have a way of making life more difficult for US and NATO troops in retaliation for the strikes inside their territories.

This is the classic Israeli pattern. Kill Palestinians, and when there is a response, claim that the response is the initiating cause and "retaliate."

Webmaster's Commentary:
Memo to FM Tzipi Livni: this time, the world will not be turning a blind eye to the devastation
It is apparent that you haven't taken a look at the Red Cross Report, issued last week, about the effects of malnutrition on children, and how medically fragile Gazans who could be saved by appropriate medical intervention are being denied treatment outside Gaza.
But of course, FM Livni, these are precisely the outcomes the Israeli government wants to see happen in
This slaughter will include children, women, and the medically infirm.
And I can guarantee you; this time, there will be cameras rolling, real footage of the carnage smuggled out, and the world will know precisely what the Israeli government has done in the name of its "security". The Israeli government will not be able to stop some of it getting out, in all its gory details, no matter how hard it tries.

Israel Seals Off Gaza, Expresses Outrage Over UN
The UN was able to resume food distribution with the small number of admitted trucks, it won’t be able to maintain them for long. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay condemned the blockade for denying 1.5 million Palestinian civilians of “their most basic human rights” and said it was a “direct contravention of international human rights and humanitarian law.”
