Response to the 60 Minutes Segment on Israel

This program was an extreme disappointment. I thought 60 Minutes had more integrity and courage.

(WEST KINGSTON, R.I.) - On Sunday 60 Minutes did a rather disgraceful segment to please Zionists. I was sufficiently disgusted to send the following hasty response via their web site.

Tonight’s segment on Israel (May 20, 2012) gave a totally distorted picture of the Middle East conflict.

Wipe the propaganda from your mind.

(SALEM) - I've been clenching my ears over the latest 'underwear scare'. I don't want to hear the dirty details of a saga like this at first.

Gunmen executing people in the streets - Homs eyewitness

Western-backed rebels in Syria are gunning down Christians from rooftops...

(MOSCOW RT) - People have been left without water or electricity as rebels destroy water pumps and power converters. Civilians are forced to stay inside as snipers shoot from the rooftops.

RT in Damascus managed to contact an eyewitness in Homs, who says gunmen are killing civilians in the streets. Galina says leaving home is out of the question, as snipers “can shoot you in the back.”

Yemenis Don`t Hate us Because we are Free

A recent poll in Yemen showed 96% of the people expressed opposition to their government’s cooperation with the US government.

(Jamestown, RI) - You may or may not know that the US has supported the dictator of Yemen for years, so when the Arab Spring occurred we tried very hard to look the other way and stick our head in the sand, while Mr. Saleh killed and murdered protestors.

Meanwhile in Libya we intervened militarily and will do so in Syria in the near future, unless Russia and China really put their foot down...

Another Dictator Sets Up Shop in the US

The US helped broker a deal giving Saleh immunity, in exchange for his surrendering power, which the US did not do with Gaddafi in Libya.

(Jamestown, RI) - Here we go again. The long time US supported dictator of Yemen will be coming to the US to set up residence. You may or may not recall a similar incident triggered the Iranian hostage situation back in 1979.

The brutal dictator, the Shah of Iran, was installed after the democratically elected President was overthrown by the CIA.

The Eruption of a Revolution; a Time Bomb Ticking to Explode Anytime

Witnessing the making of history but not recording it is a shame, so I became a chronicler of these events in my own way.

(UGANDA) - The Arab world is not yet done with the Arab Spring. While the Egyptians and Yemenians have refused to give no quarter to their respective military dictators, the people of Bahrain whom I thought chickened out are showing us that they have only made a tactical retreat.

Once again, they came back to haunt the anachronistic medieval kingdoms in the entire region.

The all-out hypocrisy of Arab League and the West

94 Yemenis were killed and over 800 injured since UN Resolution 2014 was issued...

(TEHRAN) - After the Arab League hypocritically suspended the membership of Syria amid the mounting pressures of NATO and the U.S., the resurgence of violence in Egypt and Bahrain and Yemen and the unrelenting massacre of innocent civilians by the barbaric regime of Al Khalifa and Ali Abdullah Saleh once again attracted the attention of conscientious observers in the international community.

So far 44 Bahraini citizens were killed at the hands of the mercenaries of Al Khalifa regime.
