A Christian Palestinian Gandhi Responds to the GOP

THAT DAY we call 9/11 led to my first of 7 trips to Israel Palestine...

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - I will be offline and on holiday until next week and take this opportunity to repeat myself beginning at the beginning of WHY I am online and it began with we call 9/11

‘Peace, peace, peace. God’s peace be upon you. But living today in a time of war, crying out peace, peace, peace, where there is no peace. Fearing age and death, pain and darkness, destitution and loneliness, people need to get back to the simplicity of Brother Lawrence.’ [Dorothy Day]

Grab a Pen Mr. Gingrich, it`s Time for your History Lesson

“How did America end up in that humiliating situation, where its presidential frontrunners are but a bunch of clowns who are always willing to dance to Israel’s favorite tune?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - It’s elections time ladies and gentlemen once again. It is the presidential candidates’ time to line up and take part in Israel lovefest.

The 2012 White House elections has unleashed a fierce race amongst the presidential hopefuls- who come this year in all colors, sizes and IQs- to kiss ass and suck up to the Israeli lobbies in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Animal Diseases: Time to Expose Really Dangerous Corporate Lies

The diseases scares are lies with tremendous consequences for farmers, for food, for animal diversity, for control of and harm to populations through vaccines.

(PHILADELPHIA) - The Food Modernization and Safety Act empowers DoD and Department of Homeland Security to mass slaughter animals here in the event of an animal disease outbreak.

No need for the disease to be dangerous, or even exist. A declaration by the CDC is enough for military to roll out and begin killing.

The Most Important Photo Series in History

The story of a blue Locknar?

(SALEM) - My good friend William Coleman, an avid Civil Rights activist and law enforcement community whistleblower, told me I would find value in the following set of images, but I never could have anticipated the impact or predicted just how powerful these otherwise innocent photographs could be.

That is life in a way; you never really can guess from the wrapping on a package what is inside, nor can we determine how interesting a book may be simply by looking at the cover.

US fear and loathing over spy drone

Iran says that it has no intention of returning the drone and that Washington should compensate Tehran for violating the country's airspace.

(TEHRAN) - In what seems to be nothing but US-style barefaced arrogance, President Barack Obama has demanded the return of a spy drone which violated the airspace of the Islamic Republic but which was to the humiliation of the US officials downed by the Iranian army.

The top-secret RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which was used by Washington as part of the covert operations the US officials have already vowed to conduct inside Iran, was hunted down by an electronic ambush and landed with a minimal degree of damage over the city of Kashmar about 140 miles inside Iran.

Netanyahu for President (of America)

If many American Jews really are drifting away from support for Israel right or wrong, that could make taking on and defeating the Zionist lobby a more manageable proposition for a second-term President Obama.

(LONDON) - It’s now clear that the Republican frontrunner in the race for the White House is Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Officially the two Republican frontrunners are Newt “the Palestinians are an invented people” Gingrich and Mitt “Obama has pushed Israel under a bus” Romney.

Both are political whores locked in a competition of their own as well as with President Obama for Zionist lobby organized campaign funds and American Jewish votes. (In a very close election race the latter could determine who becomes president).
