">There is a growing impression that Venezuela with its oil riches is the next country on the US hit list. Latin America analyst Nil Nikandrov opines that one would have to be a hopeless idealist to believe that - after US crusades swept across Asian and African oil-producing countries - the Venezuelan oil deposits so far remaining beyond the US control would somehow evade Washington’s appetite.

">In their counter-revolutionary push to roll back any democratic changes arising from the Arab Spring, the US/Israeli/Saudi troika is out to destabilize the countries in the region that refuse to abandon their national sovereignty. In this game, Turkey is emerging as a key, albeit ominous, player. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya deciphers the multiple facets of this explosive scenario.

">Voltaire Network is going online with a revamped website edition. The new format corresponds to an in-depth development process. The accent is placed on the network’s international dimension and navigation between languages has been simplified. Thanks to our volunteer translators, the website is now available in Arabic, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Special care has been taken to enhance legibility so as to facilitate consultation of our critical articles, which constitute the wealth of our website. The authors, who are also volunteers, have been given a high profile since it is their expertise that guarantees the high-quality content of our postings. Finally, the articles are put in their corresponding context.

">After months of equivocations meant to mislead public opinion, it’s curtain time for the ground attack on Libya. While the U.S. and its allies try to make it look like a recent decision in response to the violence inflicted against civilians, this author exposes the hypocrisy behind this portrayal and shows that the ground operation in Libya started even before the enforcement of the UN no-fly zone. Furthermore, he unmasks the hypocrisy of putting a NATO face on an operation which is blatantly being led by the U.S.

">By multiplying its military attacks on Pakistani territory and accusing Islamabad of having harbored Osama Bin Laden, the Obama Administration aims to encroach into China’s sphere of influence. However, Beijing promptly supplied Islamabad with an air arsenal and delivered an ultimatum to Washington: any attack on Pakistan would be considered as an unfriendly act against China.

">A US Government commissioned report questions the official Haiti earthquake death toll, implying the Haitian authorities grossly overstated the figures to secure more aid. Conversely, BAR Executive Director Glen Ford speculates that the outcome of the report was predetermined to provide a justification for reducing aid for the beleaguered island.

">General Ratko Mladic’s arrest and his extradition to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia satisfied the prerequisites for Serbia’s membership in the European Union. As expected, the western media have tagged the defendant as the "Butcher of Bosnia" and piled on as many charges against him as possible, thereby masking NATO’s role in Yugoslavia. But there can be no reconciliation without truth, which, as Slobodan Despot observes, is far more complex than the Manichean account given.
