A friend in the Bible Belt, who recently became “born again,” called me excitedly to tell me she was leaving me her house. “In case I suddenly vanish,” she confided. Of course. She would be raptured up and I, a hard core “One God” believer, would be left behind. How sweet of her to make preparations for the damned. http://salem-news.com/articles/may212012/real-2012-jp.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may212012/real-2012-jp.php Mon, 21 May 2012 19:42:00 PDT After having gone silent on Facebook and Twitter on May 1st, [ Vanunu's Final Message to Facebook] Vanunu went public again today: "All the restrictions now have been renewed, no changes.

However I do believe in conspiracies. All that's necessary is to have two or more conspirators conspiring to do something--anything--together.

Yet, I am left bewildered, what does president Obama refers to? Is ‘never again’ a universal message pointing at genocides in general or did he refer to Jewish suffering only? http://salem-news.com/articles/april202012/never-again-ga.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april202012/never-again-ga.php Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:08:00 PDT After tourin what remains of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facilities, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki looking for ways to advance and support clean-up and recovery efforts.

This reporter covered conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Iraq by US-led coalition forces, working for media outlets including IRNA, IRIB, Doordarshan and BBC. Now, because he advocated for Iran publicly, he is accused of masterminding a bomb blast in New Delhi. http://salem-news.com/articles/march282012/indian-journalist-wg.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march282012/indian-journalist-wg.php Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:31:00 PDT Hanford officials claimed a leak of what has been confirmed as numerous hazardous wastes was just dripping “rainwater.” After confirming that hazardous wastes were leaking into the open from a concrete container at Hanford, the Washington Department of Ecology issued an “Immediate Action Letter” on Friday to the federal Energy Department (USDOE), which runs Hanford. http://salem-news.com/articles/march272012/hanford-leaks.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march272012/hanford-leaks.php Tue, 27 Mar 2012 19:31:00 PDT On March 16, the White House released the "National Defense Resources Preparedness" which gives the President the ability to impose martial law in case of a war or national emergency.
