    US - Israeli UN Resolution Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman
    Two nations stand out above all others as notorious serial abusers of UN resolutions - the US and Israel. Over the last half century, the US has used its Security Council veto many dozens of times to prevent any resolutions from passing condemning Israel for its abusive or hostile actions or that were inimical to Israeli interests. It’s also voted against dozens of others overwhelmingly supported by the rest of the world in the UN (…)

    Dear Democrats of America- I have this simple question- why are these Dems, supposedly the most progressive Representatives in DC, playing along with the charade.
    John Conyers, the ’hero’ of the stolen election movement, smiling big while George signs the Voting Rights Act- why isn’t Conyers raising hell about the dirty tricks and stolen election? Why is he pretending that George cares about voting rights?

    Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, frustrated Americans including top administration officials cried out aloud: Why do they hate us? They were referring to Arabs and Muslims.
    Curiously, five years later, during which the US waged and encouraged at least two regional wars, the Americans have yet to get it.
    A year ago, Karen Hughes, a long-time adviser to President George W. Bush, was appointed Undersecretary of State (…)

    It became very clear during the Bush-Blair press conference on Friday morning, 28 July, that the American and British "formula" to resolve the Lebanon crisis rests on a hallucinatory expectation that several critically important developments can and will take place successfully between now and the time early next week when the U.N. Security (…)
