Terrorists Kill People

This is a fundamental issue, it is time to examine the government's use of a killer buzz word that can strip you of your rights as an American.

(SALEM) - Strange title I know, but we're in strange times. Terrorism is the use of terror in attacking or controlling a perceived enemy. Terrorism is understood by some people on some levels, but by and large it has been used to describe anyone who refuses to accept oppression, and fights back.

Those who the developed nations brand "terrorist" are almost always poor; they generally are getting the hell blasted out of them by U.S. made weapons and they violently resist with whatever they can place their hands on.

Dershowitz` Lies and Glitches

It’s obvious that, like other Zionists, Dershowitz lacks the elementary capacity to engage in proper intellectual debate.

(LONDON) - Rabid Zionist Alan Dershowitz is devastated by the success of ‘The Wandering Who’. He just cannot accept that professors and academics endorse the book “as ‘brilliant,’ ‘fascinating,’ ‘absorbing,’ and ‘moving’,”

In his latest article he again misses an opportunity to debate the book, its message and its meaning. He prefers instead to indulge in the only things for which he possesses any talent at all - lying and bullying.

Despite Newfound `Friends` Lebanon`s Palestinians Require UN Action to Obtain Civil Rights

Lebanon’s Parliament is once again ignoring the issue of the elementary human right to work and to own a home for their guests from Palestine.

(JALIL REFUGEE CAMP, BAALBEK, Lebanon) - Jalil Refugee Camp is located about 90 km east of Beirut near Baalbek in the Bekaa valley and is home to approximately 8000 of the World’s most destitute Palestinian refugees.

It is usually referred to as “Wavell Camp”, after the British Field Marshal Archibald Percival Wavell’s time at the former French military base during World War II.

Hundreds Attend Launch of Occupy Salem

They want the richest citizens of this country, shielded from taxes in ways never seen in the country's past, to pay their fair share.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The spirit of Salem sometimes steps up and surprises people and the Occupy Salem event that kicked off Monday is a great example.

Like Portland, where crowds swelled in excess of 10,000 during its opening last week, Salem saw a larger-than-anticipated turnout with several hundred attending its kick-off.

Salem`s Homeless Fear Anticipated Police Sweeps

The division of the classes widens daily.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Homeless residents in Salem say they are scared, wondering if police are going to soon clear them out their makeshift living arrangements just as the weather gets cold. Police in Salem do historically route the homeless from encampments.

A man and woman attending the Occupy Salem event that kicked off Monday, say living without a home is hard.

(VIDEO added) Bizarre Lightning in Salem- What Was it?

Before the lightning strikes gave way to thunder, we watched an aircraft fly in from the north to, it appeared, take a look.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Shortly after 3:00 a.m. today, Dexter Phoenix and I noticed a very strange weather occurrence that I suspect many Salem area residents heard from inside of their homes.

What we saw was a series of lightning strikes to the east, they were almost flashing in a consistent pattern, roughly every 20 seconds. I've absolutely never witnessed anything like it in my life.

DNA Evidence Should Free Oregon Inmate Terrence Kimble from Prison

Screaming for the justice due an innocent man is sometimes a reporter's place.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A great deal has been written about false convictions in America. The good news is that the advent of DNA to positively pinpoint details in police investigations, has allowed law enforcement to enter a new era; scientifically identifying those tied to crime scenes, and at the same time eliminating those who were not.

That is, unless you happen to be in Lane County, Oregon.

The confrontation to come

The old system makes the rich richer, the poor poorer, destroys our environment, sees fake elections between waves of certain economic downturns and the occasional wars or terror attacks.

(BETHLEHEM) - Israel reported a record $7.2 billion weapons exports solidifying its position in the top four countries profiting from war and destruction.

The other two main official sources of income for Israel (foreign aid and its pillaging of the Palestinian economy) are also at a record high.

Snitch Sheets, Unresolved Murder and Severe Tobacco Crimes

Who exactly is Running the Oregon State Penitentiary?

(SALEM, Ore.) - Watching innocent prisoners being set free on the news over wrongful convictions; it has been nothing less than invigorating; the problem is that none of this is taking place in Oregon.

I suspect this state may have more wrongly convicted people serving time than any other in the US. Oregon has been off the radar for decades.
