With her collegues from Telesur, Russia Today, the Centre for Research on Globalization and Voltaire Network, Lizzie Phelan (PressTV) is one of the few journalists to have taken the risk of providing a factual account of the situation in Libya.

Egyptians Stormed Israeli Embassy, Other Nations Should Do The Same

There is no room for racist ethnic cleanser Israel amongst the nations.

(LONDON) - Egyptians victorious attack on Israeli embassy in Cairo last night leads to a dramatic decision: Israeli Air Force plane returns ambassador, members of diplomatic staff and their families to Israel.

Trails Of Deceit

The Loneliness of the Falling Man

Ten years now and no one knows of this falling man nor what he, in his last gasp cries to us to seek--justice, that his last flight might have purpose.

(LAVERNE, Calif. ) - A new film highlights a photograph taken by Richard Drew of a man hurtling to his death, one shot in a series as he fell from the 102nd story of the World Trade Center.

The image “The Falling Man” is centered on, is a shot no one wants to see or remember; yet it is unforgettable, catastrophic, a frozen image of human suffering, desperation, forlornness, loneliness in the last seconds of light and life before everlasting darkness.

What Real Motivation was Behind the Terrorist Attacks on the United States?

Almost 3,000 innocent people died, and freedom we enjoyed before 9/11 was abridged by the same government that claimed it wanted to protect it.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - Nine days after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush continued his theme that the terrorist attacks were motivated by al-Qaeda’s hatred of American freedoms.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - Here is just one more example of how politicians (i.e. the talkers) consider themselves above the workers like firemen, police officers, factory workers, and office workers (i.e. the doers):

According to CNN and verified at Snopes.com, “Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office issued a statement saying that due to space constraints, this year’s September 11 memorial ceremony at ground zero, was to focus on the victims family members and that first responders would be honored at different places and different times”.
