(COLOMBO Sri Lanka Guardian) - Former President of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, is now on trial at the ICC (International Criminal Court) facing four charges of crimes against humanity committed by his camp as recently as between December 2010 and April 2011 since he refused to concede victory to his contender in November 2010 presidential elections.

Obama Reportedly Issues Ron Paul Media `Kill Order` as Russia Prepares For War

The “kill order” is a metaphor for silencing down congressman Ron Paul in the mass media as if he doesn’t exist.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) is reporting that the “secret letter” sent to Prime Minister Putin by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda contains a warning that United States President Barack Obama has issued an executive-level “kill order” against US Congressman Ron Paul.

Do we pay the piper or keep on dancing?

A side-effect of this is that many of our citizens have been stripped of their pride as well.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - We are weeks away from entering a Presidential election year and as you might expect, the current administration is grabbing at economic flotsam like a drowning man.

Anything that could remotely be considered a positive is escalated to the stature of being a miraculous economy saving result of the wise decisions made by the current administration while all negative news is swept under the rug, rationalized away, or blamed on the previous administration.

Report Calls Security at Israel`s Nuclear Reactor `Severely Deficient`

Israel refuses to acknowledge possessing an arsenal of nuclear weapons as part of an official policy of "nuclear ambiguity."

(JERUSALEM Xinhua) - Security arrangements at the Dimona nuclear reactor have been "severely deficient" for years, making Israel's super-secret desert facility vulnerable to a breach, the Israel Hayom daily reported Tuesday.

Several inspections of the site, conducted by the Israeli army' s Home Front Command, determined that its ground security units lack the means to provide adequate protection from potential attacks, the report said.

We Need a War on the Enemy with WMD-the Corporate Media

We no longer have the First, Fifth, or Fourteenth Amendments, and the President has the right to assassinate US citizens, or detain them forever, as “terrorists”.

(JAMESTOWN, R.I.) - The power of corporate media never ceases to amaze, while the blind willingness of the public to be lead by that media, is equally mind boggling. Do we ever learn?

Did we not blindly follow corporate media’s charge to war in Iraq without asking any questions?

UNHCR Complicity Cited in Murder of Rwanda Journalist

We are gravely concerned for the safety of Ben Kimenyi and his brother and sister journalists.

(SALEM) - Our Reporter Jennifer Fierberg, has been covering the developments in Rwanda non-stop and the number of journalists and politicians who have been murdered is staggering.

The trail of bodies is not a hard one to follow; Kagame has been able to insert representatives of the current Rwanda government into extremely important roles within the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHCR) which is the world body responsible for investigating this type of abuse.

A Tireless Advocate of Justice for Palestinians

 Francis Khoo Kah Siang
(1947-2011)

(BEIRUT, Lebanon) - Francis Khoo Kah Siang passed away on November 20, 2011.

In addition to the countless reasons Francis will be sorely missed by his friends and loved ones, he will be missed because he leaves a void for many of us who were and remain inspired by his work for Palestinian rights. Francis Khoo is an icon of countless others, who like himself, are neither Arab nor Muslim, neither from the Middle East nor culturally or politically connected to Palestine by birth, but who support the Palestinian cause.

Reflections of the Iraq War

It's a war where nationalism drove an aggressive U.S. to mirror the behavior it supposedly believed Iraq was 'capable' of committing.

(SALEM) - For many the war in Iraq will never end, and for their sake everyone should understand as much as possible about this military operation that claimed far more lives than western media sources accurately reveal.

There is right and there is wrong and there is popular opinion. U.S. politicians with few exceptions, follow that third option.

U.S. Senate has just passed a bill that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America

This is a very serious time in U.S. history, special thanks to Nature News.

(LOS ANGELES) - In a stunning move that has civil libertarians stuttering with disbelief, the U.S. Senate has just passed a bill that effectively ends the Bill of Rights in America.

This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a "battleground" upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity...
