The US is a Leading Terrorist State  :  Information Clearing House - ICH

An
international poll found that the United
States is ranked far in the lead as “the
biggest threat to world peace today,” far
ahead of second-place Pakistan, with no one
else even close.



Imagine that the lead article in Pravda reported
a study by the KGB that reviews major
terrorist operations run by the Kremlin
around the world, in an effort to determine
the factors that led to their success or
failure, finally concluding that
unfortunately successes were rare so that
some rethinking of policy is in order. 
Suppose that the article went on to quote
Putin as saying that he had asked the KGB to
carry out such inquiries in order to find
cases of “financing and supplying arms to an
insurgency in a country that actually worked
out well.  And they couldn’t come up with
much.” So he has some reluctance about
continuing such efforts.

Among the differences in the daily school life of the girls, a single teacher was responsible to teach them all of their subjects. Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
