Treason by Members of the United States Congress

The Iranian president did not threaten to "Wipe Israel off the map".

(BANGKOK) - Nearly 300 members of the U.S. Congress signed a statement, affirming their commitment to Israel, an illegal Apartheid State. The writing and signing of that letter should be considered an act of treason.

The letter has totally undermined the power of the President of the United States by virtually telling Israel: "It does not matter what you do to the Palestinians, how many illegal structures you build on the territory you stole from them; how you behave towards the Lebanese, or what you have in mind for Iran... We, the signatories on this letter, are with you all the way."

Documentary Investigates Kecksburg UFO Site

Sci-Fi documentary with Bryant Gumbel about one of the most fascinating American UFO stories.

(KECKSBURG, Pa.) - On December 9, 1965, an object landed near Kecksburg, Pa. It was observed as a fireball in the sky across several U.S. states and Canada. Witnesses provided signed statements and independent, corroborated descriptions of the object and its location.

Who is to Blame for Afghan National Police Problems?

Problems in the ANP date to the second Bush Administration, when the Iraq war was launched and the Afghan war was forgotten.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A news story last week blamed the Afghan National Police for not being effective after the U.S. spent more than $6 billion since 2002 in an effort to create an effective Afghan police.

My biggest problem with the story is the title; it implies that investing in Afghanistan is a risk, and that is wrong. It is our mess, if we ever want out we will have to do much more for the Afghans and less for the greedy and fat American contractors who soaked up the funds.

Israel`s Deadly 1967 Attack on the U.S.S. Ship Liberty

An event shrouded in mystery in 1967 left more than three dozen American sailors dead and many unanswered questions.

Oregonian Report Loses Effectiveness by Confusing Marines and Soldiers

Accuracy should not be taken lightly.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Last November we published Dr. Phil Leveque's "Government Medical Care or No Medical Care: for Most the Choice is Clear" - detailing the lack of physical fitness among U.S. recruits, and how that bars many from military service.

Yesterday, the Oregonian published an article reviewing the same basic material, "And it only took around four months for them to get around to it", Dr. Leveque said.

She Was an American Girl
Rachel Corrie

The senseless death of Rachel Corrie is a direct tie to the spirit of Israel's military.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Rachel Corrie was killed by the driver of an Israeli bulldozer as she tried with fellow activists to halt the destruction of an established Palestinian home.

MCAS El Toro and the Untimely Death of Marine Fighter Pilot James Sabow

Somebody should produce a full length movie about this epic American tragedy.

(IRVINE, Calif.) - In early 1991, something happened at the El Toro Marine air base that was so bad, so shameful, that it will not go away.

Israeli Apartheid and The Nakba

You have to ask yourself: If I keep quiet, will it ever end?

(LONDON) - There can be absolutely no doubt that Israel has created an inhuman, illegal and utterly disgraceful Apartheid state, and the international community will never be able to excuse itself if it takes no action against this blatant, ongoing and in-plain-sight crime against humanity.

Video from the Other Side: `The Cowboys in Iraq`

If you don't want to know what your fellow Americans have been through, or what the enemies of the U.S. and Coalition Forces have to say, then don't watch the video.

(BAGHDAD / SALEM) - There are few things in the world that are harder to watch than the video that accompanies this story.
