Egypt 2011: Preview of America in 2015

The short-term impact is immediately reflected in commodity prices: grains, oils, meats and precious metals. All have seen huge upswings.

(CHICAGO) - Take a good look at what's happening in Egypt during February, 2011.

What's happening there may happen in the U.S. within four short years.

RADICAL PEACE: People Refusing War

Candid thoughts from Salem-News.com writer William Hathaway about his new book, and his life as a combat veteran turned peace activist.

(SALEM, Ore.) - We can reduce the stress humanity suffers under. We can create a society that meets human needs and distributes the world's resources more evenly.

We can live at peace with one another. But that's going to take basic changes. And I hope RADICAL PEACE points the way to some of those.

Don`t Gobble the Zionist Poison Against Hamas

The events in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan and perhaps beyond, indicate the logical, natural and organic consequence of the Western aggression...

(LONDON) - It is a known fact that Zionists make illegitimate claims for anything they covet or consider expedient.

Aiming to discredit and alienate the Palestinian Resistance and Liberation Movement Hamas, the zionist hasbara and their perception management experts have indulged themselves in spreading sly poison, in particular the false claim that "Hamas and Hizbullah are Mossad creation"

Critical Connections
Egypt, the US and the Israel Lobby

For the past 30-plus years, Egypt has been among those despotic regimes supported by the U.S. and Israel in return for turning its back on Palestinians.

(SACRAMENTO) - Minimally explored in all the coverage of the momentous Egyptian uprising taking place over the last 10 days are the Israeli connections.

A central and critical reality is that it is US tax money that has propped up Hosni Mubarak’s despotic regime over the past 30 years, and that this money has flowed, from the beginning, largely on behalf of Israel.

Netanyahu & Co. Must be Proud of Mubarak and his Thugs

In theory it’s now Egypt’s generals who will decide when Mubarak goes.

(LONDON) - For many years I believed that Israel’s leaders have no equals in the business of saying one thing and doing another. But Mubarak has proved me wrong.

He went on television to tell Egyptians that he would be staying on for some months because only he could restore stability and set the stage for it to continue after he stepped down.

Kings Have Special Qualifications

So do State Department spokespeople...

(ISTANBUL) - In reference to Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who recently sacked the Jordanian cabinet and acquired a new one in an attempt to appease protesters demanding political and economic reforms, the State Dept. authority announces:

"I think I saw a story today where [the king] acknowledged that Jordan’s own efforts up to this point have been too slow."

The French Philosopher

I guess that Levy either, doesn’t know or just pretends not to know that in the ‘Jews only democracy’ laws are racially orientated.

(LONDON) - What makes one a philosopher? Probably, the capacity to aim at the essence of things, while celebrating the love of wisdom (philo-sophos).

Though Bernard-Henri Lévy presents himself as a French philosopher, he seems to lack that elementary capacity.

Neocons` Tepid Reaction to the Egyptian Democratic Revolution

Neocons are willing to consider destabilizing Egypt sometime in the future.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The uprisings currently taking place against the autocratic regimes in the Middle East would seem to be in line with the neoconservatives’ advocacy of radical democratic change in the region.

But there is one significant difference.

Agent Orange: Thailand Military Bases

DoD determined that herbicides used on the Thailand base perimeters may have been tactical and procured from Vietnam, or a strong, commercial type resembling tactical herbicides.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Vietnam-era Veterans whose service involved duty on or near the perimeters of military bases in Thailand may have been exposed to herbicides and may qualify for VA benefits.

A recently declassified Department of Defense Report written in 1973 contains evidence that there was a significant use of herbicides on the fenced-in perimeters of military bases in Thailand.

As Tahrir Square Goes so Goes the Middle East?

The eyes, hope and solidarity of much of the Middle East are on Tahrir Square and the bloodied but unbowed Egyptian people.

(BEIRUT) - It is difficult to overstate the potential for Egyptian citizens advancing universal aspirations for freedom, dignity and basic human rights.

These are now spreading from the determination of those who for more than a week have risked their lives while inspiring much of the World at Cairo’s Tahrir Square.
