Wartime Ordnance Explosion Severely Injures Ethnic Coffee Farmer Near Former U.S. Marine Base at Khe Sanh

They face lethal threats every day.

(WASHINGTON DC) - Th​e Mine Action Alert below has already been circulated to a number of lists​, so apologies for any duplication. This is a tragic ​reminder that unexploded ordnance is still taking casualties in Vietnam 40 years after the war, and why Project RENEW's work remains important.

Some basic knowledge of how to deal with the situation this young farmer encountered could have saved his hand.

We Have Wilson to Thank for it... Let Freedom Ring (Democrats Always Ring Twice)

Woodrow Wilson was a real bug about freedom, so we owe him a lot.

(DAYTONA BEACH) - According to Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, the freedoms we spend so much time and ink blubbering about are rapidly being eroded, often in the interest of that national security of which our freedom is the cause celebre.

A year or two ago, our President, a mild-mannered former street-community worker from Chicago who critics feared lacked the stamina or resolve to be a Commander-in-Chief...

Human Rights Watch: US... Stop Blocking Palestinian Rights

Support Commitment to Abide by International Law

(JERUSALEM) - The US government should support rather than oppose Palestinian actions to join international treaties that promote respect for human rights.

On April 1, 2014, the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, signed accession instruments for 15 treaties, including the core treaties on human rights and the laws of war. On April 2, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, testified in front of Congress, that in response to the “new Palestinian actions” that the “solemn commitment” by the US to “stand with Israel,” “extends to our firm opposition to any and all unilateral [Palestinian] actions in the international arena.”

Forgiveness is Dysfunctional

Most people who seek forgiveness are scared of being held accountable for their behaviour. Most people who offer forgiveness are scared of holding people accountable for their behaviour.

(TASMANIA) - Certain religious traditions, including Christianity, emphasise the importance of forgiveness. I want to explain why forgiveness is misconceived and, therefore, a bad idea.

And why there are important psychological reasons for this. In essence, the key question is this: What is the appropriate psychological response to inappropriate behaviour if we want change in the direction of improved functionality in future?

US Calls on Myanmar to Stop Rakhine Violence

UN officials have warned that the violence poses a serious threat to the country’s dramatic economic and political reforms as it emerges from a half century of military rule.

(UNITED NATIONS Arab News) - US Ambassador Samantha Power to UN called on Myanmar’s government Thursday to take urgent steps to stop the violence in the western region where thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled their homes, warning that continuing unrest could imperil the country’s path to democracy and prosperity.

Power linked the smooth delivery of humanitarian aid to containing of violence.

The Death of Yarmouk Palestinian Camp

Yarmouk is a symbol of Palestinian insistence—insistence that the right of return be addressed, insistence that their narrative be recognized, that their need for safety be respected, that their rights be upheld, that they live in dignity.

(YARMOUK PALESTINIAN CAMP, Damascus) - This observer does not write these words casually.

And he is no huge fan of some of the intellectually lazy quick spun internet conspiracy theories, too many of which appear given to flights from reality when facts get complicated and dispositive information is obscure.

Standing up to the FEDS About Vaccines

CDC made a mockery of the Nuremberg code's directive that people must have "informed consent." When it refused to answer FOIA questions from a doctor whose son was autistic about the CDC's knowledge about mercury in vaccines and any discussions at the CDC about it.

(WASHINGTON DC) - While alternative media is exposing so much of what the genocidal Cabal is doing, trying to start more wars, trying to grab land a la Agenda 21, rigging Wall Street, rigging the entire banking system and Comex, and since the Cabal has more in store, including (more) fake pandemics, it seems just the right time to expose their vaccines.

Right now the vaccine debate is erroneously stuck ...

Urgent Appeal For Defense of Attorney Stanley Cohen

Stanley and his associates have defended a number of my friends over the years and have done so for little to no money (Pro Bono). He has always made himself available for advice on issues where his knowledge would be of benefit.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - My dear friend, Stanley Cohen (@StanleyCohenLaw) is in need of help. Stanley has been targeted by the IRS and charged with “impeding the IRS”. A charge of dubious nature being used to deprive him of his license to practice law.

Stanley has been a long time attorney/advocate for those of us who are activists fighting the corruption rampant in our government.

Oregon`s Oldest Beekeeper, Gone but Not Forgotten

Remembering 99-year old Oliver Wendell Petty, A Beekeeper’s Beekeeper
June 9, 1914 — April 6, 2014

(SALEM) - As an early beekeeper in the Willamette Valley, Oliver Petty was instrumental in convincing farmers to rent bee hives to improve crop yields. Prior to that time, most beekeepers made their living by selling honey.

“Oliver, in his beekeeping career, had seen things that only we can dream about- thousands of acres of hairy vetch blooming all over the Willamette Valley and other bee forage untouched,” said beekeeper Dirk Olson.

PRESS TV: Ukrainian Anti-Semitism Revealed

Without question, this alleged act hearkens back to the Nazi years, when the Ukrainians were largely associated with Adolf Hitler's Third Reich in Nazi Germany.

(SALEM) - In order for US foreign policy to appear justified, feckless American politicians always must assess blame to the proper "bad guy" country. It is the way this world works, and it is, quite frankly, why everyone alive is marching directly toward an entirely avoidable third world war.

According to reports, a mysterious group in the Ukraine is telling Jews they have to register with the government, disclose their property and vehicles, and pay a $50 fine for processing. A memo handed out to Jews exiting a synagogue, says those who fail to comply will be forced to leave the country and forfeit assets.
