There are only three sins – causing pain, causing fear, and causing anguish.  The rest is window dressing. - Roger Caras

WANTED - A Psychiatric Diagnosis of Nazi Holocaust Denial

Why would anybody deny the Nazi holocaust when evidence proves many Jews were exterminated?

(LONDON) - While I was reading some of the responses on various web sites to my last post (Understanding the real significance TODAY of the Nazi holocaust), the following question occurred to me. Does it really matter HOW Jews were exterminated in Nazi concentration camps?

Even if you chose to believe that gas chambers were not part and parcel of the Nazi extermination programme, there is irrefutable evidence that Jews were shot, hanged, burned, injected and starved to death and, also, that many died from diseases that were only terminal because of the conditions of their incarceration.

GOP Descends Into Its Winter of Discontent

“Why, I in this weak piping time of peace
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity.” - William Shakespeare: Richard III

(CHICAGO) - A major archaeological discovery was announced in Leicester, England this week. Experts have confirmed that skeletal remains found during the excavation of a Leicester parking lot are those of Britain’s King Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet kings.

Richard, portrayed by Kevin Spacey, was killed in 1485 by Tudor enemies during the Battle of Bosworth Field.
British officials authenticated the remains through the thoroughly modern method of DNA “fingerprinting” connecting King Richard to a 21st century male descendant of Richard’s sister, Anne.

Does Bill Gates deserve his fortune? Do the Walton offspring deserve to be billionaires? Do the children living in poverty in the ghetto deserve to grow up poor?

(CALGARY, Alberta) - There are two main ways to become really rich. The first involves luck—e.g. win a big lottery. The second involves being born on third base…hmmm…also luck. Is this a contradiction? Let us explore further.

The richest person in the world today, outside of middle-eastern autocrats, is William Henry "Bill" Gates III, with a net worth in the ethereal neighborhood of $66 billion.

The American Manifest Destiny

Ultimate moral abandonment does not separate a man or woman mentally, emotionally, from unlawful acts when they, obeying orders, kill.

(LONDON) - Americans and their European poodles coiffeured red white and blue in American power salons are unlawfully targeting, and killing from afar, suspected militants innocent bystanders, and helpers, labelled “collateral damage,” whilst avoiding more politically toxic body bags containing returning American “heroes” to military bases and more lachrymose wailing from American politicians.

Today, this day, men and women with “games console mentality” can kill your brothers and sisters and mine, by pressing a button caressed by their dutiful hands in America, for a drone strike against suspected militants and thereby international law...

New Musical Tribute: Idle No More

An amazing tribute to Native American activists.

(BOSTON IPressPro) - Many of us who write about human rights abuse spend our lives with our minds in places like Palestine and Sri Lanka. We're vested in these stories that are so overlooked by mainstream reporters, yet we ourselves are often the last to look in our own backyards.

Idle No More, is an ongoing protest movement that originated among the Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprising the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. Flanked by larger numbers of non-Aboriginal supporters in Canada, as well as internationally, their voice is growing louder as is the intensity of their message.
