From I to We (Updated)

Capitalism is framed on the assumption that man is an animal--end of discussion. But, because, transcendentally, man is infinitely more, it's undeniable that capitalism is not natural as a dominant way of life for society.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - “To live as a rational animal does not mean to think like a man and live as an animal. We must both think and live as men.” Living as an animal, is the ethos of capitalism.

Jewish Parents are Trading Circumcision for Peaceful Covenant Ceremonies

“We must envision a Judaism that can welcome all of our children, nonviolently, into the brit b'lee milah, a covenant without circumcision..." - Miriam Pollack, Circumcision: A Jewish Feminist Perspective

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - More and more Jewish parents in the United States are skipping circumcision.

Instead, they are holding alternative ceremonies sometimes called Bris Shalom or Brit B’lee Milah (covenant without cutting) ceremonies. Many Jews throughout Europe and the former Soviet Union have stopped circumcising over 100 years ago.

Socially Programming America for Increased Drug Abuse

“To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.” Confucius

(MYRTLE BEACH, S.C.) - On August 21, 2010 I wrote an article for Salem-News.com entitled "Purdue Pharma Markets Deadly Drugs Through Facebook."

PTSD and Aggression: Then and Now
Its Been with us a Million Years or More

About the worst feature of the discussion is the high suicide rate of those soldiers seeking to attain or maintain alpha status.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The first written record of PTSD was from a physician in an Egyptian Pharaohs Army in 2500 BC who described it as “hysterical reaction to battle”. That sounds about right and PTSD continues long afterwards. Some WWII Vets still have PTSD some 65 years later. I am one of them.

Avnery Reveals `The Return of the Generals`

After the Eilat clash Netanyahu sent his forces into action, not waiting for verification as to the source of the attackers.

(CHICAGO) - Uri Avnery, intrepid columnist, ageless Israeli peace activist, and retired IDF soldier, has seen, up close, the actions of every government Israeli voters have put in office since the nation was created.

He is not fooled by the antics, decisions and deceptions of the current Israeli right-wing government. Avnery peers into the soul of the Netanyahu-Lieberman team and reports back to his readers the dark visions he finds there.

Kulna Gaza - We are All Gazans

I call on you - on us - to protest. As loudly and forcefully as possible. A new massacre in Gaza can't and shouldn't happen, and it's in our hands to prevent it.

(CAIRO) - Fifteen people were killed so far, and no end in sight.

Tomorrow the foreigners will be evacuated, Israel threatens with a "massive military attack", a "ground invasion" is not ruled out. Fifteen killed people, including two children.

The Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty Dying Out on the Borderline

“The toppling and the trial of Mubarak has altered scenarios that were already underway and hindered plans for the Middle East that were in the making under the auspices of ardent Zionists in Washington, Cairo and Tel Aviv.”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The key tag/word in this top news is not the old mellow jazz of yet another Israeli bus hit by only god- or Mossad- knows who and followed by immediate and totally indiscriminate Israeli retaliation raids on Gaza.

It's rather the brand-new mention of attackers and suicide bombers sneaking into Israel territories from Egypt Sinai desert where five Egyptian policemen were killed caught in the fire by an Israeli helicopter at the Egyptian Israeli border.

IDF Spokesperson: `We DIDN`t say PRC was behind Eilat attack`

If the PRC and Hamas are not the culprits, why is Israel attacking targets in Gaza with overwhelming force?

(TEL AVIV Uruknet.de) - Yesterday morning, I wrote a piece questioning the journalistic ethics of some in the Israeli media and, to a larger extent, the entire international press corps over of their rush to adopt Israel's claim that a Gaza-based terror organization was behind Thursday’s attack near Eilat.

As the attack was unfolding, Israeli warplanes were warming up to carry out airstrikes in the Gaza strip with no concrete proof confirming that the culprits of the attack were from Gaza.

Pat Tillman Story Illustrates Continuing Government Coverups

It is a felony NOT to report accusations of Treason In Wartime to a Federal Judge or the President of The United States.

(LOS ANGELES) - Pat Tillman's deadly event, coverup and the continued denial of facts and circumstances proves that the pattern of 'strategic silence' and treason continues to be the modus operundi of the US government and the political forces running it.

The following unanswered letters show blatant disregard for the exposure of treason in wartime on the part of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence(?) during the past decade.

The Silence over the CIA Prison in Somalia

This report raises another interesting area of concern. Several Governments in the region have Prisons that for the lack of a better term have horrible conditions.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - In the August 1st-8th edition of the Nation Jeremy Scahill wrote a piece that has been met with silence from some of the people one would assume would have something to say about it.
