The Next War on Washington`s Agenda

Washington is getting all of us in over our heads.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Only the blind do not see that the US government is preparing to attack Iran. According to Professor Michel Chossudovsky, “Active war preparations directed against Iran (with the involvement of Israel and NATO) were initiated in May 2003.”

Washington has deployed missiles directed at Iran in its oil emirate puppet states, Oman and the UAE, and little doubt in the other US puppet states in the Middle East.

Veterans: What Priority?

Are those who fought for Freedom to be forsaken?

(MEDIA, Pa.) - Military service personnel of all branches of service, be it Army, Navy, Marine Corp, Air Force or Coast Guard. They serve with pride and honor and are sworn to protect our Country’s boarders, our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

They serve in peace time and war time, all with one common goal, our Country’s Freedom.

North Carolina Firm Recalls Diced Beef Products that May Contain Foreign Materials

The problem occurred as a result of a conveyor belt being damaged during production.

At Least 40 Missing in Italian Passenger Shipwreck

According to reports, this was the first night of a Mediterranean cruise. The ship set sail Friday with more than 4,000 people aboard.

(TUSCANY, Italy) - In perfectly clear and calm weather, a cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, Italy crashed into the rocks and has now partly capsized, at least 40 souls are missing.

There are reports of the crew having little or no training in emergency and evacuation procedures. At this point officials in Italy have confirmed that three people have died.

Voters Choice: Ron Paul or Bibi Netanyahu

According to recent polls, Americans have fallen out of favor with our numerous wars in countries we neither know nor can spell: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Palestine and Syria.

(LA VERNE, Calif.) - A curious glance at the current crop of presidential candidates makes it clear that Ron Paul stands alone when it comes to the issue of US engagement in foreign wars.

He stands with George Washington against foreign entanglements while the rest of the candidates stand with Teddy Roosevelt and the attempted creation of America’s first empire one hundred and twelve years ago.

20 Points

Before the wave of European Jewish immigration, Palestinians were of various religions: about 85% Muslim, 10% Christian, 5% Jewish and others.

(BETHLEHEM) - Historic Palestine is the center of an ancient culture comprised of people of different religious backgrounds.

Prior to 1948, Palestinians lived in peace and harmony with their neighbors, however the Holocaust of Europe led to a mass exodus of Jewish people who fled to Palestine in the late 1940's.

The Mexico We Have Found.. Two Years Later

Community input is taken seriously here. An obnoxious neighbor can actually be voted out of the neighborhood.

(SAN BLAS, Mexico) - "They come up here with no money, they can't speak the language, and they expect to find work and a comfortable life. Maybe you should go down to Mexico with no money, not speaking any Spanish, and see if they welcome you with open arms... you wouldn't last six months let alone a year, and that's if you weren't killed first!"

That advice/idea I received while arguing with an anti-immigrant racist in Oregon, May 2008.

US Congress: Falsely Labeling Peace Activists as `Terrorists`?

Against a backdrop of madness, HR 3131 lists Ken O'Keefe & other Human Rights Activists as 'terrorists'.

(SALEM) - The U.S. government has listed one of our closest friends and allies as a terrorist.

The baseless designation against a U.S. Marine Combat Veteran named Ken O'Keefe is little more than parroting of the allegations made after a deadly attack on a humanitarian aid ship off the coast of Palestine in 2010.

Peacetime Can Mean Hard Times

Whatever help there was is drying up fast.

(MANKULAM, Sri Lanka IPS) - It’s a new year, a new beginning but probably a harsher reality in Sri Lanka's former war zone.

As the country enters its third year since the end of a bloody sectarian war that tore the nation's fabric apart, for many of the survivors of the worst fighting, a tough but true reality is dawning. Life in peacetime may yet be a hard struggle.

Alan Dershowitz Attempt to Destroy a Memorial to Martin Luther King

Perhaps the Hasbara mouthpiece truly believed that destroying a Martin Luther King Memorial was good for Israel and/or the Jews. He was wrong.

(LONDON) - A year ago I was invited to attend a celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. at the Friends Meeting House, NYC.

The Meeting House Orchestra was due to play music from my award winning Exile album - an album created to celebrate the prospect of peace and harmony in the Middle East and beyond.
