Look out! Jamal Belica’s latest song, World Citizen: Giving It My All, is articulating a new view of the world citizen: bold and aggressive; quite the opposite of the genteel Chinese traveler Lien Chi sojourning in London two and a half centuries ago whom Goldsmith used to satirize the follies and foibles of 18th-century British society in his The Citizen of the World. Instead, Jamal’s world citizen has muscles and faces the unpleasant realities of the world we live in unflinchingly. http://salem-news.com/articles/december202011/world-citizen-jb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december202011/world-citizen-jb.php Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:40:00 PST Amy Goodman and many others have referred to the corporate media as an "echo chamber," which is a very accurate metaphor. Mostly privileged, overpaid white men who fall within a narrowly-constrained political spectrum pretend to have debates, while failing to even discuss most of the most pressing issues of the day. http://salem-news.com/articles/december092011/occupy-anthemdr.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december092011/occupy-anthemdr.php Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:30:00 PST Never afraid to push the envelope, Pop star D’Manti isn’t called “The Queen of the Night” for nothing.

At half-time, UCLA losing 29-0 on their way to a 50-0 obliteration, FOX Sports Network reminded me about why I wrote this column for S-N.com several years ago------and why it needs to be put up again as a rekindling about where/how sports has been breaking bad. Celebutard broadcasters who know nothing of or about that which they cover. http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/women-sportscaster-rb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november272011/women-sportscaster-rb.php Sun, 27 Nov 2011 19:04:00 PST After nearly two-decades in office, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi resigned from the post of Italy's prime minister reluctantly Saturday.

He has none of the stiffness of the usual novice. All I can say is that he is a natural and the song is a good listen. For those who have not yet seen the video, there is, however, something unusual about Jamal. http://salem-news.com/articles/august032011/bullyproof-song-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august032011/bullyproof-song-tk.php Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:42:00 PDT JTA columnist Ron Kampeas has been a lone voice in sounding the alarm to his Jewish readers: “Pro-Israel leaders in the United States, Britain and Australia are warily watching the unfolding of the phone-hacking scandal that is threatening to engulf the media empire of Rupert Murdoch.” http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/media-murdoch-jw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/media-murdoch-jw.php Sun, 24 Jul 2011 12:33:00 PDT With 2011 as the European Year of Volunteering, a banking entity launched a supportive advertising campaign with child education as their goal.

However, with schools out of whack (not all but most it seems) and churches filled with just as much disrespect, is it any wonder our society is having a multitude of problems? Let's face it, if things were going the way of the blessings not curses of the bible, well, there'd be no Salem-News.Com.
