Take Action for Rwandan Opposition Politician Victoire Ingabire

Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza – Chair of Opposition Party FDU-Inkingi

This went unremarked by the international and domestic media, save a few reports from actors sympathetic to the obvious involvement of senior Rwandan government officials in Ingabire’s trial. Indeed, almost all of the reporting on Ingabire’s case is coming from officials of her FDU-Inkingi party.

Quality Goes In Before The Name Goes On

Western militarism has been in an elevator heading south for years.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Former American President Jimmy Carter commented on the kind of state terrorism reflected in American actions in Guantanamo Bay and other places as a disgrace to the USA.

“I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.”

"Integrity is the lifeblood of democracy -- Deceit is a poison in its veins." Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy
Part 1 of 2

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - The Partnership at Drugfree.org was launched in 1987 and makes some self-serving statements concerning its "public education campaign" -- but is it bogus? Are bereaved families of dead victims of the epidemic of prescription drugs being lied to?

APN: U.S. Must Not Cut off Nose to Spite its Own Face at the UN

`Middle East Propaganda 101` and the NY Times` Thom Shanker

Shanker has been an embedded journalist both with the US military and with various think tanks whose policies he is reporting on.

(WASHINGTON D.C) - There is an excellent article today in Salon, "Middle East propaganda 101," (see below) deconstructing a New York Times story.

However, the Salon article leaves out the the name of the main reporter on the article, New York Times Pentagon correspondent Thom Shanker, and relevant information about who he is.

Director and scientist of the Biomedical Research Network Centre of Mental Health (Cibersam, Spain) affirms that autistic children suffer numerous alterations that affect their infant development. These effects are due to the neural disruption of the child from the very start.

One up to the Palestinians

Among the abstainers was not-so-Great Britain, still too gutless to shake off the chains of subservience to the pro-Israel lobby and end its betrayal of the Palestinians.

(LONDON) - It makes a nice change for Palestinians to be able to chalk up a success.

And admission as a full member to UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) is good news for them and bad news for their Israeli tormentors. Palestine becomes the organisation's 195th member as soon as it has ratified UNESCO's constitution.
