Contrary to hasty affirmations, it is not a castration. But, in the majority of cases, pleasure is "castrated". Nevertheless, on the psychological ground, not only that quasi-castration strengthens, for boys, the threat of castration that circumcision is, but also, when circumcision alone is operated, it is always considered by the girl, unconsciously, as a threat of excision, with all the deleterious effects of such a threat. http://salem-news.com/articles/february132012/circumcision-castration-hn.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february132012/circumcision-castration-hn.php Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:56:00 PST I picked up most of my stolen property from the police yesterday, 3 months of having nearly all of my hard drives, my phone, my camera, reams of paperwork, what is the result? Nothing but the disruption of the Trade Not Aid Mission and a bit more fuel to slander me.

The fundamental problem with Americans today, is that its middle class has been trained to consume products and eat tons of junk food, while growing up through the decades after the Second World War, when global competition did not exist to any significant degree. http://salem-news.com/articles/january222012/global_capitalism.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january222012/global_capitalism.php Sun, 22 Jan 2012 09:07:00 PST This is a “secret” document; secret in the sense that it was produced by Citigroup analysts and distributed to their wealthiest investors and not meant for general distribution, i.e., the eyes of the rabble. It has leaked out and can probably be found on the internet, although Citigroup lawyers are active in forcing its removal from sites. As this is a journalistic report, they would probably not be successful. They would also be aware that such an attempt would likely garner even more unwanted publicity. http://salem-news.com/articles/november132011/plutonomy1_dj.php http://salem-news.com/articles/november132011/plutonomy1_dj.php Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:34:00 PST The total destruction of Israel, something used by the Zionist lobby to bilk the US out of billions for years, is no longer a dream, it is inevitable.  The only question is “when?” With it a limited world war may emerge with some surprises in store.

We are shocked. Juliano Mer-Khamis, a friend and fellow peace activist, was murdered in Jenin. The masked killer(s), whoever they were, were cowards whose madness will not deter those of us who continue to work for justice and peace for all. If they thought they could kill coexistence and love in the holy land by killing a symbol and a great activist, they are mistaken. http://salem-news.com/articles/april052011/juliano-murder.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april052011/juliano-murder.php Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:32:00 PDT A recent advance in psychiatric criminology is interested in the perpetrators of sexual mutilation.
