The Forgotten Returnees

UNHCR’s most recent statistics show that at the end of 2010 there are some 141,000 Sri Lankan refugees in 65 countries.

(GENEVA) - A day in a village on the beautiful coast of northern Sri Lanka: a lady combing the hair of a small girl crouching at her feet. She leans over and whispers something to her husband who is sitting beside her holding on to two other children.

The scene could easily be captured on a picture postcard but if one looks closer the reality is grimmer. Many of the surrounding houses have been reduced to rubble or are heavily damaged: a reminder of Sri Lanka’s bloody decade long civil war.

CIRCUMCISION AND EXTERMINATION: The Shoah, 09.11, Palestine, Oslo: `holy` wars around circumcision

On the collective – and unconscious – level, circumcision is felt as a threat of extermination...

(PARIS) - Psychoanalysis alone can link these slaughters and explain the one committed by Anders Breivik.

Freud showed himself to be shy in his condemnations of the individual outcome of circumcision; he did not publicly qualify it a threat of castration in his lifetime...

Confusing Syria with Libya? Fact-checking Amnesty International`s `Hospitals Investigation`

There is a great distinction between Syria and Libya, their medical professions and their current challenges.

(NIAMEY, Niger) - This observer counts himself among Amnesty International’s more than 3 million supporters and members in more than 150 countries and territories who also strongly endorse AI’s campaigns to end grave abuses of human rights.

I share AI’s vision for every person to enjoy all the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards.

Salem-News Reported U.S.-Mexico Inter-Military Task Force in 2010

Clarifying that the U.S. military was working on the Mexican side of the border is the point of this article. The fact that elements of the U.S. government are denying it is highly reprehensible.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Sadly, the last presidential administration taught us the lesson, that if you lie often enough, and the media carries it, almost anything can be conveyed to the public.

Well, one thing must be set straight, when it comes to the looming drug cartel violence south of the U.S. border; is that our agency and another, the narcosphere, knew that the U.S. military was involved in operations working inside of Mexico, and both agencies reported this more than a year ago, in September 2010.

Who Controls The POTUS?

Is it the bankers?

(LOS ANGELES) - Don't blame the POTUS if one of our nukes is launched. The record is bleak. In 1960, President Eisenhower ORDERED that no U2 spy plane be launched on or around May 1, 1960 (May Day in the Soviet Union) so as not to anger Premier Nikita Khrushchev and sabotage the upcoming Peace Talks to be held in Paris, France.

`STAY HUMAN` - written by Vittorio Arrigoni THE READING MOVIE

Project will breathe new life into the writings of one of Gaza's top activists.

(ROME) - One year ago I proposed to Vittorio the idea of taking into the stage his book, but as it often happens, we failed the priorities and put off the project. Today I realize it was a bad mistake. I want to use Vittorio’s words to summarize what we will do:

“Readings could be managed in various cities (I could attend them telephonically, all events might be advertised on the 'Manifesto'...”

Modest Proposal For Occupy Wall Street

What if at every campaign stop, a political candidate was confronted by Occupy Wall Street members demanding what the candidate was going to do about reigning in Wall Street and about America's income inequities?

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Wall Street has come to symbolize corporate greed. But the fat cats of Wall Street are not going to change their greedy ways. Why should they?

They have had their way for far too long. And corporate executives don't embarrass easily. Clearly, government action is needed.

Book Banning Jewish-Anti-Zionist Style

The fiasco was triggered by a paper written by Paul Eisen, which apparently hit some nerves; Paul Eisen and his paper were defended by Atzmon.

(LONDON) - Recently, my article, this blog and myself have come under attack -not by Zionists, but by two members of the our local Friends of Palestine group (FoP), as well as by a local anti-Zionist Jewish group.

A letter, signed by Messrs G.D and T.B, which was explicitly supported by this anti-Zionist Jewish group was sent to the chair and secretary of the FoP. In this they accuse me of writing a “racist [sic]” article "against the Jews [sic]".

The Greatest Threat To World Peace

Isn’t the time ripe to drift as far as possible from Jerusalem and its stooges?

(LONDON) - According to Ynet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are extremely concerned by the "Iranian threat". Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli leading paper, reported this week that Netanyahu and Barak are pushing for action against Iran.

According to Israeli leading columnist Nahum Barnea the heads of the armed forces –and Mossad are opposed to taking action against Iran at this time.

Old Man Winter Visits New Hampshire

Throughout the Northeast into tonight, bridges and overpasses will be the first to turn slick.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The snow started here at 3:00 p.m. EST and I went out to measure it at exactly 8:30pm EST and we have exactly 13 inches. That is over 2 inches an hour and on October 29th. At this rate, we'll be snowbound by 6:00 a.m.

AccuWeather.com meteorologists are worried that many more could follow tonight. Temperatures dropping below freezing through tonight will allow the historic snowstorm to cover roadways throughout the Northeast much easier than during the daylight hours.
