 multimedia blog Bush: "Mission accomplished". Obama... Nigel Parry, Thursday, August 19th, 2010 
I made a graphic. From the Jason Ditz article on Antiwar.com: "It was another of those great TV moments. Embedded reports filming as the "last" brigade of American troops in Iraq cross the border into Kuwait bringing over seven years of unhappy conflict to its final, conclusive end. America was, at last, at peace. But like so many other great TV moments, this one was a scripted fantasy, a fake exit done purely for political gain by an increasingly unpopular president trying to look like he is keeping at least one campaign promise."  Pentagon demands Wikileaks herd and rebag 100,000's of digital cats Nigel Parry, Friday, August 6th, 2010 
On July 25th, Wikileaks not only published a database of 91,000 U.S. military files classified at the "secret" level from the war in Afghanistan, but it offered the raw database files in several formats for anyone with an internet connection to download. One click and a 15MB standard *csv file was available in its entirety for anyone to load up in desktop database software such as MS Access or FileMaker Pro. Now the Pentagon wants Wikileaks to give it all back. Mock programs expose The Israel Ballet's role in whitewashing war crimes Nigel Parry, Monday, February 22nd, 2010 
A year after Israel dispatched its internationally renowned Batsheva Dance Company to draw people's attention away from its slaughter of over 1,400 Palestinians in Gaza, The Israel Ballet was similarly dispatched in early 2010 on its first tour of the United States in 25 years. Activists across the country have been protesting the Israeli government-funded dance company under the banner "No Tutu Is Big Enough To Cover Israel’s War Crimes". As with the Batsheva tour, I worked on mock programs to be handed out to arriving audience members. Mock posters created for Pittsburgh Hillel event hosting Israeli fascist Efraim Eitam Nigel Parry, Thursday, February 4th, 2010 
Possessed with a messianic fervor and described by Israeli peace activist Uri Averny as "Israel's #1 Fascist", Eitam is in the U.S. as part of the "Caravan for Democracy", an Israeli government sponsored tour whose major purpose—apart from garnering support for Israel, currently seems to be encouraging America to see Iran as the number one threat to world peace. Hillel hosted his Jewish National Fund-sponsored event. I made some mock Hillel posters. Daily Show: Anna Baltzer & Mustafa Barghouti (Extended Interview) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 
Pro-Palestinian activists Anna Baltzer and Mustafa Barghouti advocate a nonviolent approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in this complete, unedited interview from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Wednesday 28th October 2009.
