One Democratic State in Palestine

"The State shall not establish or accord special privilege to any religion and shall provide for the free practice of all religions."

(LONDON) - Living in a world dominated by relentless Zionist lobbying, I am far from being captivated by the current state of Western democracy. I am not impressed at all by the lethal enthusiasm to democratize the World in the name of ‘moral interventionism’.

I am sickened by the murderous zeal that led the USA and Britain into a criminal war that left already more than 1.5 million Iraqi fatalities….

Top Economists: The Second Great Depression has Arrived

Despite the gloom and doom, it's best to remember that things could always be worse.

(CHICAGO) - David Rosenberg, market guru, has officially declared that the US economy is in a state of depression, and he sees the economic superpowers woes worsening.

On the heels of that bleak forecast, the statistics for existing home sales for July were released and the numbers were ugly. The weak housing market collapsed. Reflecting the worst slump in American history, existing housing sales had plummeted a stunning 27 percent and there's no sign on the horizon that sales will stabilize any time soon.

Caught! Fox News Funding `Terror Mosque` at Ground Zero

Jon Stewart catches Fox News in the lie of the century.

(CINCINNATI ) - Jon Stewart demands that Americans stop watching Fox News as the only way to cut off the revenue stream to “these bad dudes.” The Kingdom Foundation, funder of the Ground Zero Mosque is run by Alwaleed bin Talal, largest shareholder in Fox News.

Fox News owner Alwaleed bin Talal, who, according to Fox News, has ties to terrorist organizations and the Iranian government, also owns, of course, Fox News and pays the salaries of those who say the man funding the Ground Zero Mosque is a terrorist.

Op Ed: Historic U.S. Facts Reflect Continued Writer-Camouflage

Pundit-Palaver Illuminated by Detailed National Record.

(SEASIDE, Ore.) - “What are your intentions, sir ?” demanded the traditional Victorian virgin when confronted by her canny and contriving seducer. In a second “joke” often used in psychiatry, the judge demands “Yes or No” answer from an accused: “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

The Border of Death

The summer of 2010 has been a deadly one for migrants.

(LAS CRUCES, NM) - Despite periodic campaigns to warn would-be border crossers of the dangers of jumping the US-Mexico line without papers, the people keep coming from the south. And instead of a better life in the Promised Land, many encounter horrible deaths.

US and international media reported this week that 170 people have been recovered from the scorching desert lands of Pima County, Arizona, this year. The bodies have been so numerous that forensic authorities have resorted to using refrigerated trucks to store the human remains.

Anatomy of Conspiracy Theory

A conspiracy need only be proved by “circumstantial evidence” even “if it violates the rules against hearsay evidence”

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Some may rationally ponder that how is it, that such a long running global conspiracy for world government as outlined in Project Humanbeingsfirst’s report “The Enduring Capitalist Conspiracy for World Government”, can be kept alive across centuries and across geographies. This brief paper examines that question.

Noam Chomsky had once observed an insightful nature of such “conspiracies”, as the open shared natural goals stemming from the very nature of its definition, which could therefore, no more be termed a conspiracy than both GM and Ford endeavoring to maximize their profits at all cost be termed a ‘global corporate conspiracy’.

Bodies of 72 Migrants Discovered Near US Border

The crime is connected to the Zetas drug cartel; it is the worst in Mexico's history.

(MEXICO CITY / SALEM) - Texas has the reputation as the place where 'Everything's Big", but when it comes to mass murders and piles of dead bodies, the XXL award certainly belongs to the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where the bodies of 72 people were discovered this week.

'White drugs', particularly methamphetamine, can quickly alter a personality and the need to maintain a supply leads people to do terrible things. That is likely part of the puzzle in a grisly discovery of 58 male corpses and 14 female bodies, described as Central and South Americans, who were killed this week.

Do We Really Ever Learn Much?

There is no end to excitement in the news this summer, most of it we could have done better without, and after watching similar stuff repeatedly over the years with little real change, one wonders if collectively we ever really learn much.

(GOLD RIVER, B.C.) - Those of us in BC who follow the news certainly have a lot to chew on these days. Down in the US the silly season is in full swing, this time centering on a proposed community centre to be built by Muslims a couple of blocks from so called "ground zero" in New York City.

There are some concerns that the developers may have ulterior motives, such as advancing the cause of radical Islam, yet many do not see it that way.

Southbound I-205 Closed Due to Serious Crash

Traffic should get moving a little later this morning; allow extra time if you commute on the I-205. The aternate traffic route would be SR 14 to I-5.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Officers arrived at a crash in the southbound lanes of the I-205 Glenn Jackson Bridge to find all SB lanes blocked, midspan, on the north leg of the bridge.

Sgt. Pete Simpson with the Portland Police Bureau says a semi-truck and two trailers rolled and smashed a Honda Civic. Officers learned that the Honda and another car were in some sort of road rage incident that caused the accident with the semi-truck, which was not involved in the road rage."

Oil Spills in Niger Delta: Amnesty International Challenges Data Reliability

Shell has repeatedly been asked to produce evidence to support their figures; at this time Shell has been unable to do so.

(NIGER DELTA / PORTLAND) - Amnesty International (AI) today challenged the credibility of the data recently released by a senior UN official investigating oil-impacted sites in Ogoniland. They're calling for independent oversight of the oil industry in the Niger Delta, including disclosure of all relevant information on the causes of oil pollution.
