- Recycling Stalinist lies about the Spanish Civil War El Escudo de la Republica by Angel Vinas
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  History books are seldom just about the past. They inevitably reflect, for better or worse, something of the consciousness of the time in which they are written. This is certainly true of Professor Angel Viñas’s latest book about the Spanish Civil War. The character of the times in which it has been written indelibly colours the book.

- Srebrenica Genocide Facts: Questions & Answers
  Posted by Danielus from Srebrenica-genocide.blogspot
  Srebrenica genocide (7/11 1995) was systematic slaughter of 8,000 Bosniaks who were under the supposed protection of the United Nations. Srebrenica massacre has been judicially proven and recognized as genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, and subsequently by the International Court of Justice at the Hague. In addition, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as well as the U.S. Senate Resolution recognize this massacre as genocide.

- Communist Party USA Gives Its History to N.Y.U.
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  The cache contains decades of party history including founding documents, secret code words, stacks of personal letters, smuggled directives from Moscow, Lenin buttons, photographs and stern commands about how good party members should behave (no charity work, for instance, to distract them from their revolutionary duties).

- Movie Mix: Mel Gibson Is Wrong about Who the Violent Americans Are
  Posted by Damianmann from Alternet
  The new movie Apocalypto should have left the Maya alone and instead looked for apocalyptic violence in the off-screen history of the Catholic-mestizo families of the Americas.

- CodyLyon'sblogolater: New York's Eastern Bloc-An East Village Portrait
  Posted by Villagenyc
  There’s no denying the historical irony and unspoken sense of triumph over the oppression and drabness that much of the Eastern Bloc once represented. In fact, from 1934 to 1986, the Soviet Union criminalized homosexuality, considering it to be a product of western decadence, landing thousands of gays in gulags. Inside this 2006 New York City version of the Eastern Bloc, a little decadence was acceptable, perhaps encouraged. Story of three bartenders creation.

  There are generally two theories why it sank shortly after sending the Housatonic to the bottom. One is that it was damaged and took on water after the attack. The other is that the crew suffocated when they ran out of air.

Rolling Stone : The Worst President in History?
"Barring a cataclysmic event on the order of the terrorist attacks of September 11th, after which the public might rally around the White House once again" that line is chilling. Why give them ideas?
