The killing of Anna Politkovskaya
Print & pdfBy *Sara Hall
The murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya on 7 October 2006 has been remembered all over the world during the last week. Amnesty International believes that Politkovskaya was killed because of her work as a journalist. The trial of three men accused of her murder is set to start on 15 October in a Moscow military court.
Politkovskaya was relentless in her efforts to draw the world’s attention to the suffering of the people in Chechnya. Her reports were crucial in bringing about the first ever prosecution against a Russian police officer, guilty of serious human rights violations. While working in the area she was put in a pit in the ground by Russian forces and subjected to abuse and humiliation.
She was included in the Top 50 Heroes of our time compiled by the New Statesman in May 2006.
Her books, which have been translated into English, highlight atrocities in Chechnya, criticise Vladimir Putin’s presidency and the general stifling of civil liberties by Russia’s secret service, the Federal Security Service (FSB). She frequently spoke about theses issues to audiences worldwide.

Welcome
For years I had been watching lies being peddled as truths in the name of God, king or country. I always felt that truth needed no crutches for it has neither a religion nor a nationality. It owes its loyalty only to its own unadulterated self.
Truth Spring is but a humble beginning toward that end.
May the truth be our companion.

(The country that Bush wants to bomb)
TO OUR READERS:
ALSO THE IRAN PHOTO GALLERY WAS SABOTAGED (in addition to other attacks on the site lately).
Uruknet is up and working! (as to 5 of May 2008) Technicians were able to fix the problem. In the past few weeks there were three major hacking attacks against Uruknet. Despite having a powerful Firewall, they were helpless against big D O S (Denial of Service) attacks. Yesterday alone there were more than 100 simultaneously. Other sites that deal in truth spreading have also been under attack, What Really Happened among them. The tactics are the same and most likely so are the culprits, the ashkenazo-zionists. Those that spread hate, lies and deceit are deathly afraid of the truth. THIS MUST NOT BE TOLERATED.

Vegetative States of America
In the United Vegetative State of America, Anwaar Hussain, a Masters in Defense and Strategic Studies, delivers a comprehensive and unsettling analysis of the dissolution of liberty in America and how an administration of neo-conservatives is using the threat of lost freedoms and increased terrorism as a justification for international aggression and violence.
