Haiti and The Earthquake? What About War In The Congo?

65% of the rapes in the Congo involve girls, and 10% were under the age of 10.

(CLEVELAND) - As the world pauses to observe the tragedy in Haiti, it also makes sense to pay attention to what is taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; home of the world's bloodiest war since World War II.

Here, people have buried more than 30 times the number of people killed in last year's earthquake in Haiti.

Poem Underscores Tragedy of Child`s Death from Israeli Occupation

In the year 2010, the Zionist occupation forces killed at least 26 Palestinian children in Gaza.

(TEHRAN Press TV) - Rafeef Ziadeh recites her poem, Hadeel, on Remember Palestine, a show broadcast on Press TV. This is a very moving and touching performance.

Rafeef Ziadeh's poetic verses take into account the short life of Hadeel, a child was killed by a Zionist attack near her home. This poem is about a child; it is very tragic.

Israel Targets Free Gaza Movement with Repulsive Propaganda

Campaign launched to malign facts surrounding the Murder of 9 activists.

(MADISON, Wi.) - It is not enough that humanitarian activists on the Mavi Marmara were illegally boarded and attacked in international waters on a peace mission to Gaza.

Nor is it sufficient that nine peace activists on the Mavi Marmara were assassinated in cold blood by Israeli terrorist force...

Hezbollah`s Nasrallah Could be Right

A Mossad agent? Very possible.
A CIA agent? Again, very possible.
A Hezbollah agent? Unlikely, or so it seems to me.

(LONDON) - It’s not impossible that Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was right when he described the tribunal investigating the assassination of Lebanon’s Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005 as “an American and Israeli tool”.

Though I myself see Israel’s military and political leaders as those with most to gain - I mean thinking they have most to gain - from a successful attempt to pin the blame on Hezbollah.

Tunisia- Up to the Minute Intelligence

Tunisia may be the first nation to be overthrown with Wikileaks playing an active part, this time in support of Israel, the CIA and a group claiming to be Al Qaeda.

(PARIS, France) - All the fingerprints point to Israel’s apparatus in Washington and Zionist networks in North Africa.

As brilliantly explained by Jeff Gates, Wikileaks Game Theory Warfare are serving multiples purposes and multiples target. Are Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Egypt ones of them in 2011?

Oregon Marijuana Activists Make OCTA 2012 Official

The 2012 Oregon Cannabis Tax Act would give new zest to the old mantra, "Keep Oregon Green!"

(SALEM, Ore.) - Paul Stanford, Executive Director of the Hemp and Cannabis Foundation walked 2200 signatures in to the Oregon Secretary of State’s office on January 4th, 2011, officially sponsoring OCTA 2012. It could be a historic turning point for a state well known for its grass roots movements.

If the measure is passed by voters, OCTA 2012 will legalize the sale, possession and personal private cultivation of marijuana in the state of Oregon.

Gabrielle Giffords, Tom Hurndall and Palestinian Children
Shot in the Head

Let us pray that Gabrielle Giffords recovers fully, returns to Congress, and that she then works to prevent others – including Palestinians – from being shot in the head.

(SACRAMENTO) - There is something particularly horrifying when someone is shot in the head. Perhaps it’s the gruesome image, the destruction of the brain; a clear intent to kill.

The recent shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is made even more nightmarish by the location of her devastating injury.

The Samouni Family Children - Survivors of the Israeli Massacre

Shame on all of us for allowing this to happen and to go completely unpunished.

(GAZA) - January 12, 2011 is a day I will never forget, visiting the Samouni family could not possibly be anything but a life-changing event.

Words simply cannot describe the devastation wrought upon this family by a marauding band of Israeli psychopaths, otherwise known as the Givati Brigade of the Israeli Defence Forces.
