To be more precise, he finished second in both of that state’s primaries – Republican and Democrat, the latter as a write-in vote. Though President Obama is running virtually unopposed in the primaries, 2,289 New Hampshire voters felt that Ron Paul would be a more suitable standard-bearer for the Democrat party than the sitting president. http://salem-news.com/articles/january272012/real-choice-jr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january272012/real-choice-jr.php Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:57:00 PST This observer was stunned late last week when during a meeting in a Maghreb country with three high ranking former Libyan officials, among hundreds currently in hiding, and some organizing, in countries bordering Libya. One of them, in all earnest, asked me, “Do you believe there will be a counter revolution soon in the “Jamarariya (state of the masses)?” http://salem-news.com/articles/january152012/libya-ntc-fl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january152012/libya-ntc-fl.php Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:25:00 PST Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi was traveling under a negotiated “White Flag” truce last Thursday in an agreement to leave Libya. More claims from sources inside Misrata, Libya that the Libyan National Transitional Council did in fact agree to allow Gaddafi and his convoy safe passage out of Libya. http://salem-news.com/articles/october262011/clinton-gaddafi.php http://salem-news.com/articles/october262011/clinton-gaddafi.php Wed, 26 Oct 2011 23:49:00 PDT This week, the UNSG advisory report, unfortunately and disparagingly referred to in Sri Lanka as the “Darusman” Report was formally sent to the UNHRC. The consequences for Sri Lanka are enormous, as it struggles to put behind it the events leading up to May 2009. http://salem-news.com/articles/september192011/rajapaksa-bush.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september192011/rajapaksa-bush.php Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:09:00 PDT Twenty eight years ago this Sunday, most considerate and large hearted Sinhala people, had a harrowing week to begin with, providing shelter and security to the Tamil people who for decades lived in the South, but were pursued by the Sinhala Nittaewo. In marauding groups of 15 to 20, they tore into the belly of the Sri Lankan society, led by Industries Minister Cyril Mathew of President Jayawardena’s UNP government, as popularly claimed. http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/nittaewo-ceylon-kp.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/nittaewo-ceylon-kp.php Sun, 24 Jul 2011 17:12:00 PDT Many have already heard that the United States' latest effort to kill and maim people in far off lands will take place in Libya to the tune of $30 billion in seized assets. The move fits the criteria of habitual American behavior; the U.S. only goes after former friends like Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Usama bin Laden. Even Ho Chi Minh aided the United States during WWII in its fight with Japanese forces occupying Vietnam. http://salem-news.com/articles/july162011/libya-rebels-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july162011/libya-rebels-tk.php Sat, 16 Jul 2011 14:14:00 PDT When I land at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City on July 29, I know I will be met by friends who have suffered a great wrong. They are the victims who have fought an ongoing battle against one of the world’s most egregious crimes: the dumping of 80 million litters of toxic defoliants over southern Vietnam. http://salem-news.com/articles/july132011/agent-orange-la.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july132011/agent-orange-la.php Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:55:00 PDT Let’s recall and reflect on what happened on that day of 10th August 1961, and the consequences, so horrific, it is difficult to grasp, to understand. It raises in the minds of many the questions: WHY? And what can be done to overcome the criminal legacy of Agent Orange? http://salem-news.com/articles/june142011/agent-orange-la.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june142011/agent-orange-la.php Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:31:00 PDT In January 2009, US Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs James K. Glassman joined a group of Egyptian political bloggers from the Virtual Newsroom of the American University in Cairo. Is this the “virtual” smoking gun that indicates American collusion in the subsequent ouster of Hosni Mubarak? http://salem-news.com/articles/march062011/smoking-egypt-mo.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march062011/smoking-egypt-mo.php Sun, 06 Mar 2011 19:37:00 PST So let’s erase all the YouTubes and Facebooks and the shooting and blood and gouged corpses from Benghazi, and pretend it didn’t happen. Let’s pretend that the refusal to give visas to foreign correspondents has actually prevented us from hearing the truth. Gaddafi’s claim that the protesters in Libya – the millions of demonstrators – “want to turn Libya into an Islamic state” is exactly the same nonsense that Mubarak peddled before the end in Egypt, the very same nonsense that Obama and La Clinton have suggested. http://salem-news.com/articles/february242011/gaddafi-raved-rf.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february242011/gaddafi-raved-rf.php Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:39:00 PST A Nation of laws is ignored and the US Constitution is circumvented to the detriment of ‘We the People’ 320 million populace.

Two week later, there is no police investigation, no cause of death, no questions from the press, just silence, deafening silence. http://salem-news.com/articles/january142011/rogue-mutiny-gd.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january142011/rogue-mutiny-gd.php Fri, 14 Jan 2011 22:19:00 PST In preparing for her today's Wall Street Journal, “WikiLeaks, Honduras and the U.S.”, Mary Anastasia O’Grady presumably had a number of approaches choose him. One option was to announce that Assange is an agent of FARC and that confirmation has been obtained from the laptops impounded during the 2008 Colombian raid on their camp in Ecuador.... http://salem-news.com/articles/december212010/honduras-clinton-bf.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december212010/honduras-clinton-bf.php Tue, 21 Dec 2010 20:00:00 PST Recently, the U.N. removed a critical protection for sexual minorities. Homosexuality is criminalized in dozens of countries across the world. Homophobic violence is rampant in many more. What's going on? http://salem-news.com/articles/november302010/lbgt-rights-pl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november302010/lbgt-rights-pl.php Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:09:00 PST Jonathan Jay Pollard was born in 1954 in Texas and grew up in an affluent family in Indiana. Until 1998 Israel publicly denied that Pollard was an Israeli spy, although it granted him citizenship in 1995. Last week the relentless campaign to release Pollard was reignited with a letter signed by more than 30 Democratic members of the House calling on the president to grant clemency to the confessed spy. http://salem-news.com/articles/november252010/vanunu-sense-ef.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november252010/vanunu-sense-ef.php Thu, 25 Nov 2010 01:35:00 PST Our current economic situation is clearly untenable. It now seems that too many Americans blame President Obama for the current situation. I believe that some of the blame for this situation is his but some rests squarely on President Bush’s shoulders, President Clinton's shoulders, and on the shoulders of numerous other politicians who have been warming the seats of Congress. The problem as I see it is multifaceted. President Obama complained that President Bush spent too much during his 8 years in office; yet, President Obama has gone about trying to fix the problems by spending multiples of what president Bush spent during his 8-year term only he did it in much less time. http://salem-news.com/articles/september062010/political-terms.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september062010/political-terms.php Mon, 06 Sep 2010 22:34:00 PDT In the trigger-happy post-9/11 world, the favoured way to instigate a war is to demand that the designated “evildoer” prove a negative. Iraq was invaded because it couldn’t prove that it didn’t have WMDs. Iran is under constant threat of attack unless it can demonstrate that it’s not seeking nuclear weapons. And now Pakistan is being chastised for allegedly harbouring Osama bin Laden—who in all probability has been dead and buried for eight years. http://salem-news.com/articles/august162010/bin-laden-dead-mc.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august162010/bin-laden-dead-mc.php Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:49:00 PDT Whenever the gang that has seized power in Israel wants to move forward their agenda-their plan to use American lives to dominate not only the Middle East but Central Asia-they reach into their bag of tricks. Sometimes it’s a simple story: “rockets from Gaza” or another phony Bin Laden audio tape. However, too often, as we have learned time and time again, something very bad happens at just the right time. http://salem-news.com/articles/june062010/israel-nukes-gd.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june062010/israel-nukes-gd.php Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:52:00 PDT In the news today, scientists were able for the first time to use genetic engineering to create a living organism, engineering genetic material using computers and chemically synthesized DNA. This is an amazing breakthrough. But here in Palestine, the death and destruction machine is still in high gear. http://salem-news.com/articles/may222010/palestine-violence-mq.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may222010/palestine-violence-mq.php Sat, 22 May 2010 03:27:00 PDT Who would have believed it? Only days after a warning of an Israeli “false flag” bombing against the US “in the works” a massive car bomb is discovered in Time Square! Better yet, though no intelligence organization in the world could discover anyone claiming responsibility for this embarrassing failure, SITE Intelligence, a group rumored as the “voice of the Mossad” has placed the blame on the Pakistani Taliban. http://salem-news.com/articles/may032010/bomb-hoax-gd.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may032010/bomb-hoax-gd.php Mon, 03 May 2010 23:22:00 PDT Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said publicly that Iran “doesn't directly threaten the United States.” Her momentary lapse came while answering a question at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar, on Feb. 14. Fortunately for her, most of her Fawning Corporate Media (FCM) fellow travelers must have been either jet-lagged or sunning themselves poolside when she made her unusual admission. http://salem-news.com/articles/april262010/iran-israel.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april262010/iran-israel.php Mon, 26 Apr 2010 17:11:00 PDT Today, President Obama will sign an executive order establishing the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. He will also announce that former White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Senate Whip Alan Simpson will serve as the Commission’s co-chairs. http://salem-news.com/articles/february182010/obama_work.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february182010/obama_work.php Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:47:00 PST It’s not often that stories about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict make me laugh but one by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East editor, did. Because he is the corporation’s correspondent supporters of Israel right or wrong most love to hate – from time to time they pressure the BBC to fire him – I imagine he enjoyed writing it. http://salem-news.com/articles/november242009/bowen_ah.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november242009/bowen_ah.php Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:38:00 PST The Clinton Global Initiative has chosen Livestream to broadcast the CGI 2009 annual meeting in New York City Tuesday 22 September to Friday 25 September. Over 60 current and former heads of state have been confirmed to attend the meeting, including President Barack Obama who will be addressing the opening session Tuesday night. http://salem-news.com/articles/september222009/clinton_live_9-22-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september222009/clinton_live_9-22-09.php Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:00:00 PDT Rebecca R. Maitland will become vice president and general manager of the Reed Opera House effective May 1st, 2009. The news was announced by Roger Yost, president of QA Properties, owner of the Reed and other downtown landmarks. http://salem-news.com/articles/march182009/rebecca_reed_3-18-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march182009/rebecca_reed_3-18-09.php Wed, 18 Mar 2009 07:18:00 PDT Congressional and Senate legislators have asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to address inequities in employment practices concerning gay and lesbian State Dept. employees and to take remedial action. Members say the lack of equitable treatment could force dedicated, intelligent, and needed Foreign Service Officers and officials to choose between serving their country and protecting their families. http://salem-news.com/articles/february032009/lbg_policies_2-3-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february032009/lbg_policies_2-3-09.php Tue, 03 Feb 2009 14:00:00 PST The appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is nothing less than a betrayal of the anti-war constituency responsible for Barack Obama winning the Democratic Party nomination and his subsequent election as president of the United States. The quintessential Democratic hawk, Senator Clinton has proven to be one of the leading militarists on Capitol Hill and her appointment as the country’s chief foreign policy representative serves notice to the international community that the change they had hoped for will not be forthcoming. Clinton has demonstrated a marked preference for military confrontation over negotiations. In a speech before the Council on Foreign Relations last year, she called for a "tough-minded, muscular foreign and defense policy." Similarly, when her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination Senator Barack Obama expressed his willingness to meet with Hugo Chavez, Raoul Castro or other foreign leaders with whom the United States has differences, she denounced him for being "irresponsible and frankly naive." http://salem-news.com/articles/december042008/zunes_clinton_2_12-4-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december042008/zunes_clinton_2_12-4-08.php Thu, 04 Dec 2008 17:46:00 PST For those hoping for a dramatic change in U.S. foreign policy under an Obama administration -- particularly regarding human rights, international law, and respect for international institutions -- the appointment of Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is a bitter disappointment. Indeed, Senator Clinton has more often than not sided with the Bush administration against fellow Democrats on key issues regarding America’s international legal obligations, particularly international humanitarian law. This will be particularly disappointing for those in the international community who were so positive about Obama’s election as president. The selection of Hillary Clinton, at best, represents a return to the policies of her husband’s administration. http://salem-news.com/articles/december032008/zunes_clinton_12-3-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december032008/zunes_clinton_12-3-08.php Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:18:00 PST Barack Obama has grabbed another gear in the race for President. Hillary Clinton it is now unofficially revealed, may likely be his running mate. Obama's speech on MSNBC, included below, carries strong words against Republican opponent John McCain. He isn't letting him off the hook for his support of fellow Republican George W. Bush. http://salem-news.com/articles/june032008/obama_progresses_6-3-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june032008/obama_progresses_6-3-08.php Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:44:00 PDT Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton believes her long running battle with Barack Obama could be over in just a few days with the conclusion of the last two state primaries. Clinton told reporters in Montana, "I think that after the final primaries, people are going to start making up their minds. I think that is the natural progression that one would expect." http://salem-news.com/articles/may302008/clinton_sd_5-30-08.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may302008/clinton_sd_5-30-08.php Fri, 30 May 2008 13:41:00 PDT
