COMMENT: A case that raises more questions than it answers continues to unfold in Los Angeles. A German citizen of Chechnyan extraction was arrested for setting numerous fires in the L.A. area.

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series on WikiLeaks, Pirate Bay and the Arab Spring, we noted that the Pirate Party milieu in Europe has been the foundation of WikiLeaks’ presence in Sweden and Europe.

Estonian celebration of the Nazi invasion of World War II as ‘liberation’ and in Belgium, too, the past is being rewritten.
COMMENT: In a disturbing echo of the 1930’s, the severe economic distress in Greece is feeding far-right violence and sentiment.

COMMENT: Another right-wing Israeli political contingent has reached out to European fascists. Communing with Russian fascists, the “National Unity” bloc has impressed the leader of the National Democratic Alliance, who feels the two groups have much in common.
