Haiti`s Socioeconomic Makeover

Global intervention is not necessary; However, Global sustainable involvement and empowerment are essential.

Rule by Law or Defiance

If justice becomes the beacon that guides the UN toward peace, it would have to begin at Resolution 181, the partition of Palestine.

(LA VERNE, Calif.) - Unauthorized statements have been made to the effect that the purpose in view is to create a wholly Jewish Palestine.

His Majesty’s Government regard any such expectation as impracticable and have no such aim in view. Nor have they at any time contemplated... the disappearance or the subordination of the Arabic population, language or culture in Palestine...

Reversing Faux Legitimacy

“Strangely ironic, the Israeli treatment of Palestinians as illegitimate under the occupation is coming around to the realization, by increasing numbers, that the illegitimate party is Israel.”–
Paul Balles

(BAHRAIN) - We all know what Illegitimate children have been called, Illegitimate countries have not; especially if the fetus grew out of a media that ignores the illegitimate conception.

There are illegitimate governments. A few years ago, a blogger who didn’t use his own name asked the question: “How Do We View Illegitimate Governments That Do Not Have the Consent of the Governed?”

The Palestinians are Winning the Legitimacy War: Will it Matter?

It is up to all of us dedicated to peace and justice to do all we can to help the Palestinians prevail in the legitimacy war and bring their long ordeal to an end.

Profound issues of legitimacy have always been present in the Israel/Palestine Conflict.

The key is to act toward each other in friendship as individuals, not as superiors.

(PASO ROBLES, Calif.) - I am overwhelmed by what is being channeled in my direction re: Zionism and the methods it uses to direct collateral force against Islam which uses its own methods to impress its followers with their religion.

To this can be added the comment that: "Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church is the only hope against Zionism."

Empowering Haiti

How to begin to Empower Haiti and start the mending process?

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Looking through the historical lens of Haiti, before the earthquake, before the hurricane, there is a place known to most of the outside world as a Caribbean island and its related connotation.

If you take one step inside Haiti, there is a much different picture; that of poverty, unemployment, sacrifice and sadness.

Group Forces Release of Video Showing Bloody Collateral Attack on Reuter`s Crew in Iraq

Unfortunately, the story of Iraq and the U.S. invasion always only really gets worse.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A video clip of U.S. aviators gunning down a Reuter's media crew in Baghdad in 2007 may be the most revolting and literally gut wrenching imagery to ever emerge from the U.S. war there.

It says a lot about the game plan that was used to divide and destroy Baghdad, a city whose residents had not lifted a finger toward the U.S.A.
