The Arms Circus, Israel Keeping the World in Turmoil

The art of keeping America at risk for fun and profit.

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - This week, newspapers around the world received reports and signed documents from South Africa.

The reports said that, in 1975, Israel agreed to sell South Africa nuclear weapons. South Africa then released an arms agreement signed by current Israeli President Shimon Peres. This is the document “heard round the world.”

Peruvian Government Ramps up Habitat Protection for Endangered Bird Species

Three New Private Conservation Areas Approved.

The Peruvian Minister of the Environment, Antonia José Brack Egg, recently announced his government’s approval of three new, community-owned, private conservation areas encompassing 8,438 acres on community owned lands to protect Polylepis forest in the Vilcanota Mountains of southeastern Peru, near Cusco.

Iran was not what we had Thought

"I found a community of like-minded, hospitable, curious people, including complete strangers who approached me with great energy and kindness." -Shannon Kelley, Morelia International Film Festival

(TEHRAN) - Although the relentless and incessant spates of mainstream media's psychological warfare have turned Iran into a hazardous and insecure region in the eyes of global public opinions, thousands of Western tourists "take the risk" of traveling to Iran each year to behold in person the concealed and withheld realities of the peaceful and magnificent Iran which a hawkish leader had idiotically categorized as a part of the so-called "Axis of Evil".

The American, French, German, British and Australian citizens who voluntarily travel to Iran to discover the veiled face of this ancient land usually confess identically that Iran had not been what they had thought.

Threat to Miranda Rule

Why did the Supreme Court feel the need to create a universal standard?

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Recently, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder floated proposals to carve out an exception to the Miranda rule and delay "probable cause" hearings beyond 48-hours for terrorist suspects. The proposals come in the wake of the arrest of Faisal Shahzad, the suspect in a failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in New York's Times Square.

Federal interrogators questioned Mr. Shahzad for several hours before warning him of his right to remain silent and consult an attorney, citing an exception to the Miranda rule that allows such delays for immediate threats to public safety.

Open Letter to the Organic Community

It takes real effort to get the right information out to people. Salem-News.com is a steamroller in accomplishing this.

(SALEM, Ore.) - To the entire organic community and those farmers that support them. I would like to share with you my passion for organic living and my commitment to spreading the word to anyone who will listen.

It has become my life’s purpose to discuss the truth about the modern food supply in real terms.

Bob Birch Reports from Palestine`s Occupied Territories

Question: how can the Israelis get away with it?
Answer: because we in the West do nothing.

(AL JABA, Occupied Palestine) - Al Jabá, a village of 700 people, sits in the path of a section of the apartheid wall which Israel has scheduled for construction at a future stage.

It lies south west of Bethlehem, just one kilometre from the 1967 Green Line – inside the Palestinian West Bank.

Infant Hours

What does too much time in front of the TV mean for kids in the long run?

(MADRID) - It is not wrong to spend hours in front of the T.V. What is wrong is the social passivity that reality has created; it does not know how to look for other ways to spend its leisure time. This represents an empirical example of something that is not working. In principle, it seems as if reading, discussions, family time, friend reunions and studies are things of another world.

This issue becomes somewhat critical when the ones to be affected are children that spend too much time in front of the television.

Human Rights News: Mexico`s Other Disappeared

In the aftermath of a mass disappearance of migrants, several governors are asked to aid in the search.

(LAS CRUCES, N.M.) - A Mexican lawmaker is demanding that government authorities pay more attention to a case of 31 missing migrants.

Juan Fernando Rocha Mier, a state legislator for the National Action Party (PAN) in the central state of Queretaro, said the same “emphasis” should be placed on locating the disappeared migrants as on safely returning former presidential candidate and millionaire lawyer Diego Fernandez de Cevallos.

Innovation of the Week: Providing an Agricultural Answer to Nature`s Call

The real scoop on the lifesaving use of 'poop'.

(DAKAR, Senegal) - It’s hard to believe, but an estimated 2.6 billion people in the developing world—nearly a third of the global population—still lack access to basic sanitation services.

This presents a significant hygiene risk, especially in densely populated urban areas and slums where contaminated drinking water can spread disease rapidly.

Medical Marijuana Success: Free Advertising on Portland`s Channel Two

There is no way to detect a lying patient. The doctors at my former clinic rely exclusively on previous doctors chart notes which is close to fool proof.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - I get more surprised everyday. I have been with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program even before it started about 1997 when I was a Chief Petitioner and after that the Number One Doctor for patients and applications.

I have been on Channel Two TV many times with question ostensibly “why are you a POT DOCTOR helping all of these POT HEADS?” It was very humorous much like a lynching.
