Seeking Positives from the Negatives of War

War would eventually shadow the memories of my formative years, and positive events throughout my life.

(POICVIANA, Fla.) - After writing the "The Demons of War are Persistent," my personal story of Vietnam, and the struggle over forty years against emotional conflicts, nightmares and guilt, which today is universally recognized as PTSD.

Like many warriors, I never spoke about the war, nor stayed in touch with brother warriors, dreading the likelihood of talking about horrific memories.

Time For Police to “Back Off”

(CINCINNATI ) - Back in 2000, Americans sat on their behinds while their government was stolen. In New York, first responders, fire and police, were victims of a terror attack I am absolutely certain was planned in Washington.

We call such things “false flag.” 9/11 wasn’t the first and there have been many since, London, Madrid, Detroit, I could go on forever.

Veterans & Unlucky 13

Unlucky? No! As, “fraudulent” is more apt for the scheme, Veterans have once again been duped this time by the #13...

(CLEVELAND) - 13 banks and mortgage companies are charged with hiding illegal fees to military veterans in the process of refinancing their homes.

Those paying even a little attention know that this is not the first time that the very companies being protested on Wall Street and all over the country right now, are the same who are pulling a fast one on the community that allow their business practices to take place at all.

Combat Troops in Iraq Talk About PTSD

We have PTSD interviews from the combat theater that will be the centerpiece of this project.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Hundreds of thousands of American combat veterans are victims of the effects of combat and war. The symptoms of PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, are wide ranging.

The current conflicts continue to generate PTSD in our troops, and they join the ranks of veterans of the Persian Gulf War, Lebanon, Vietnam, Korea and WWII as survivors of things that no man or woman should ever witness in a civilized world.

Operation Invade Wall Street - a Message to the Media

Message supposedly issued by Anonymous was fake, group says disregard.

(NEW YORK ) - Operation Invade Wall Street is bullshit! It is a fake planted operation by law enforcement and cyber crime agencies in order to get you to undermine the Occupy Wall Street movement. It proposes you use depreciated tools that have known flaws such as LOIC.

Anonymous would never tell you to use LOIC - Not after the arrests and failures of Operation Payback. Anonymous wouldn't attack NYSE on a HOLIDAY - It is debatable if Anonymous would ever even attack NYSE.

Was the `War on Terror` Really a Cover For a New American Narco-Republic?

Uncle Sam May Want You

“The assassination of Anwar Al-Awlaki by American drone attacks is the latest of many affronts to domestic and international law.” - Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

(TEHRAN ) - “We call for the Islam that was sent by Allah to Prophet Muhammad (S), the Islam of jihad and sharia ruling.

Any voice that calls for this Islam, they either kill the person or the character; they kill the person by murdering or jailing them, or they kill the character by distorting their image in the media,” declared Anwar al-Awlaqi prophetically in an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic in February of 2010.

War and its Aftermath... a Real Killer for Tourism

Learning lessons in Iraq, Mexico, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Israel. Wars remove, often permanently, tourism and economic stimulation.

(SALEM, Ore.) - It hurts to think about it. I would be hesitant to try to name all of the places that war and ruined and closed off our otherwise amazing and wonderful planet. Dictatorships, colonization, fundamentalist religious conflict, narco terrorists, military juntas; the list is long. It isn't distinguished, but shameful.

The majority of the damage has been a result of weaponry manufactured by what used to be the world's two largest superpowers, the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union.
