Obama: America`s `First Jewish President`?

You would think after six decades of dispossession, four decades of occupation and two decades of peace processes that President Obama would recognise a political and moral discrepancy that needs fixing.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Obama is the “the first Jewish President”. That’s the title of New York magazine’s lead article, written by John Heilemann and quoting a major Obama fundraiser.

Listening to Obama speak at the United Nations on Wednesday many would nod in agreement, not less in Palestine and the Arab world. The US president has embraced the rejectionist Israeli position on the question of international recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

The Only Way To Oppose and End Nuclear Power, Is By Unifying Our Global Community

Beyond the UN Special meeting on Fukushima - All out effort now to help our Japanese activist friends thwart this latest high stakes play to usurp their abilities to end nuclear power in their country.

(ARCATA, Calif.) - What has just occurred at the UN always happens when ingrained power faces 'showdowns' over any loss of their domain.

Fukushima has exposed the worst of nuclear radiations to mankind, including overwhelming evidences of gross malpractices by the industry, government and its regulatory agencies, enough to bring repudiation by a huge majority of our worlds citizenry.

Petition Obama White House to Allow Veterans Access to Medical Marijuana to Treat PTSD

Marijuana works with this natural body system to ease the symptoms of PTSD giving disabled Veterans a big improvement in their quality of life.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - We petition the Obama administration to... Allow United States Disabled Military Veterans access to medical marijuana to treat their PTSD.

Modern research has proven what disabled Veterans have known for a very long time, Cannabis is an effective medicine. Veterans from the time of the United States Revolution through World War I had legal access to cannabis but in 1942 due to the efforts of a handful of powerful men cannabis was removed from the United States Formulary.

`We don`t need to Destroy to Rebuild`

Many members and leaders of opposition parties remain in detention as do some innocent relatives of opposition leaders, as the Rwanda Government continues its relentless persecution of government critics.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - On September 16, 2011 the Rwandan National Congress (RNC) and the Forces Démocratique Unifiées- United Democratic Forces (FDU-INKINGI) held their first joint meeting in Washington D.C. The meeting was attended by approximately 30 Friends of Rwanda representing various countries and political parties.

Goldberg vs. Mearsheimer

What is clear to the rest of us is that our Zionist detractors are fighting a lost battle.

(LONDON) - Professor John Mearsheimer is subject to a Zionist-trans-Atlantic-attack for supporting my latest book The Wandering Who.

Earlier this year John Mearsheimer, the highly respected international relations theorist and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, wrote the following preliminary front matter for my book:

Video: Sinaloa Cartel Traffickers Butchered Alive

The new video shows the execution of two alleged members of the Cartel de Sinaloa, 'Sinaloa cartel'. Two grim looking men, whose luck ran out, are butchered still alive in the most brutal way imaginable, "chainsaw massacre" style.

(SINALOA, Mexico) - Borderland Beat has released video of a chainsaw decapitation that might be among the most gruesome video clips ever released. The images tell the story and the video is available via the link below.

I don't think we can over-saturate people with images of the cruelty of the cartel members, and it is a lackadaisical view of this madness in America that has allowed the problems to spiral out of control. So much for the drug war, it is like a cruel hoax designed to fuel the illegal side of narco trafficking.

Book on Historical Search of Jesus` Foreskin Underscores a Twisted Perpetuated Practice

According to the logic, aside from hair that might have been naturally cut from his body over his 33 years, all of Christ’s body ascended into heaven in his resurrection except for the foreskin removed from him as an infant.

(TEMPE, Az.) - Over the years writing religion articles for newspapers, I have been skeptical about faiths with claims of possessing authentic fragments of Christ’s experiences on earth.

The Roman Catholic Church is said to possess an incredible range of items from the scene of Christ’s crucifixion, including particles of the cross, Jesus’ loin cloth and Mary’s cloak.

`Obama`s performance was pathetic,` But How Does President Perry Sound To You?

Israel has few, if any, supporters in the UN, as Netanyahu has acknowledged, so for the Security Council to provide Obama with his flimsy cover, some high-powered US pressure would need to be applied. Will pressure work this time? I don’t think so.

(CHICAGO) - Let us be perfectly clear about this. It is true, as Robert Fisk wrote, “Obama’s performance was pathetic”. It was that, and much more.

The Mythology of 9/11

The events like the 9/11 attacks may be unjustified, but they are not unprovoked assaults against the truly innocent.

(GOLD RIVER B.C.) - The tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001 has come and gone. One could not help but notice the media was full of articles on the event, and of public officials and others holding forth on what it all meant, yadda, yadda, yadda.

There was no opportunity passed up to pander to the fears and gullibility of the citizenry and feed them fantasies and half truths. A propaganda event, in other words.

Globalizing the Intifada

Weakening the beast at any point also weakens it globally, relieving pressure from the areas of critical combat.

(OLDENBURG, Germany) - The invaders have surrounded and attacked us, conquered here and there, and built their bases in our lands. So we attack the invaders where we can, determined to retake our lands and drive them out.

We would prefer not to be warriors. We would rather raise our children in the ways of kindness. But for our children to have a future, we must now be warriors. So be it.
