Movie Review: NFLer and U.S. Army Soldier Pat Tillman`s Real Story Told

For his sacrifice, leadership, and character, his body was hatefully used as propaganda.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinals safety who enlisted in the Army Rangers eight months after September 11, read Emerson, Chomsky, and, though an atheist, the Bible. Resembling a beefier Seann William Scott, he shunned cell phones, cars, and professional-athlete megalomania.

A fiercely private (and principled) person, his death in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004, during his second tour of duty, was spun by the Bush II administration into a recruiting tool.

From Shas to Hamas: The Group Behind the South Park Controversy

The zeal of the converted? Perhaps.

(OSAKA, Japan) - Like the contrived Danish cartoon controversy, the much-hyped Times Square car bomb incident provided an ideal opportunity for those who seek to make Islam look bad in the eyes of the world.

Before the arrest of Faisal “The Fizzler” Shahzad tied this latest botched terror plot to the Pakistani Taliban, some initial news reports suggested that it might have been the work of an Islamist group with a poor sense of humor – and an even poorer sense of direction.

Rhetoric + Greed = Carnage inside DRC

The rhetoric heard by Washington does not match the actions, or lack of such to alleviate the suffering inside DRC.

(KINSHASA / PORTLAND) - The mass carnage committed in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is horrifying, in its longevity and atrociousness.

The lack of public United States (US) discourse and knowledge of the country is astonishing and disgraceful. We have the ability to connect with one another by computer hundreds of miles away, send men to the moon; yet we have not found the courage or tenacity to actively engage in protecting a country that is being ravaged daily by greed and bloodshed.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - Jack Dresser, Ph.D., a Eugene, Oregon Behavioral Research Scientist who works in Political & Prevention Psychology with the group Veterans for Peace, says he is pleased to report that the proposed resolution below was passed today by the national conference of Veterans for Peace.

Co-signers included the past and current presidents of VFP and distinguished author and activist, Col Ann Wright.

The Phoenix Lights Phenomenon- in Yuma?

Were lights witnessed outside Yuma, Arizona also from the UFO sighted over Phoenix?

(YUMA, Ariz.) - An award winning documentary, 'Phoenix Lights' examines the mid to late 1990's sightings of mysterious lights that thousands of witnesses reported passing over Phoenix, Arizona.

I believe that whatever caused these odd inexplicable lights to exist, also traveled farther west, where I saw them not once, but twice.

Burundi, Investigate Torture!

Amnesty International has called on the Burundian government to ensure future compliance of the SNR and other officials with international human rights law and Burundian law.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Amnesty International (AI)is strongly urging Burundian authorities to investigate allegations of torture by state security officials of 12 opposition politicians during the country's recent elections.

The organization released a briefing paper A Step Backwards * detailing the treatment; “individuals were slapped, kicked and hit, at times with batons, all over their bodies; some reported being threatened with death.

Anatomy of Conspiracy Theory

A conspiracy need only be proved by “circumstantial evidence” even “if it violates the rules against hearsay evidence”

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Some may rationally ponder that how is it, that such a long running global conspiracy for world government as outlined in Project Humanbeingsfirst’s report “The Enduring Capitalist Conspiracy for World Government”, can be kept alive across centuries and across geographies. This brief paper examines that question.

Noam Chomsky had once observed an insightful nature of such “conspiracies”, as the open shared natural goals stemming from the very nature of its definition, which could therefore, no more be termed a conspiracy than both GM and Ford endeavoring to maximize their profits at all cost be termed a ‘global corporate conspiracy’.

Bodies of 72 Migrants Discovered Near US Border

The crime is connected to the Zetas drug cartel; it is the worst in Mexico's history.

(MEXICO CITY / SALEM) - Texas has the reputation as the place where 'Everything's Big", but when it comes to mass murders and piles of dead bodies, the XXL award certainly belongs to the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where the bodies of 72 people were discovered this week.

'White drugs', particularly methamphetamine, can quickly alter a personality and the need to maintain a supply leads people to do terrible things. That is likely part of the puzzle in a grisly discovery of 58 male corpses and 14 female bodies, described as Central and South Americans, who were killed this week.
