Is Israel Waging a Military Assault on Intellectuals?

Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh has been arrested again by Israeli occupational forces. - Originally published in May 2011.

(SALEM, Ore.) - We continue to be horrified and amazed that Israel targets intellectuals in this way, but then the first thing the Nazi's did to Jewish resistance was to eliminate the ranks of academics and journalists.

This is the way of oppressive occupational armies that believe they are part of a supreme race. There is no reason to mince words over it. Zionist Jews consider themselves superior to non-Jews, or 'goyam', and a lower species, here to serve the needs of Zionist Jews.

Look East to China the next Bin Laden

“Hillary is now moving China into the role of Emmanuel Goldstein. Hate has to be mobilized, before Washington can move the ignorant patriotic masses to war.”

(MELBOURNE My Catbird Seat) - PC Roberts has a keen knack for seeing things and fitting them into their broader scope, which helps connect the dots and illustrate the entire picture as he does in this article: China: The New Bin Laden.

It is so much simpler if one starts and sticks with the facts.

Africa: Faces in Words

Weekly update from the African nations.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Unseen, unheard; no one should be the bearer of these two words. Unfortunately, Africa is often in the forefront of this association.

Our common humanity should change this; we should never look away because it is too distant. Our commitment to one another, to human rights, and the ability to learn should always keep us connected no matter the severity and complexity of problems.

Military Rape: (SOP) Standard Operating Procedure

Do women join the military to be raped?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I have written about this before for Salem-news.com. The most recent article to come to my attention is The Christian Science Monitor: Military’s Unseen Foe: Sexual Assault.

I won’t repeat the raunchy statement by Old Blood and Guts General Patton, which is too crude and gross to repeat here, about what a fighting soldier should be.

(CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.) - Millions and Millions of Americans and citizens of the world watch the American Idol television program.

To the faithful Idol watchers, voting and being a part of "picking" the winner is a very big deal.

`I Got Vision and the Rest of the World Wears Bifocals`

If a single phrase could capture the sentiment that motivated thousands of Arabs to try to cross Israel’s borders on Sunday to “retake Palestine” from the Jews, it would be this: Yes, we can. - Uriel Heilman writing from Tel Aviv

(CHICAGO) - Butch Cassidy is talking to the Sundance Kid: ”Boy, I got vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals.”

The line comes in one of many memorable moments in the 1967 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman as Butch, and Robert Redford as the Kid.

Senate Bill S.940 re: Closing Big Oil Loopholes

As far as big oil is concerned, enough is too much...

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The Senate is expected to vote this week on a bill to end some tax breaks for Oil Companies grossing over $1 billion.
