William Blum served the US establishment for many years; in 1967, however, in opposition to the US government’s war in Vietnam, Blum quit his job working for the State Department.  He went on to become an historian and author, exposing the horrific realities of US imperialism through his work.  His two books, Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Intervention Since World War II and Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower are two of the most well-documented indictments of US foreign policy ever published.

Islam is not the Enemy

Islam is not the Enemy

Ishmahil Blagrove

The so-called "Red Scare," or threat of Communism, has conveniently been replaced by the irrational fear of Islam. Muslims have now become enemy No.1. Within the remit of this so-called "War on Terror" is the dissemination of propaganda aimed at discrediting Islam and associating it with terrorism.
