    Book Talk with Ralph Nader
    He’s an activist, political gadfly and author. His name is Ralph Nader and he has a new book out. This time it’s a nonfiction one and its subject, naturally, is political. The title is: “Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us!” On September 26, 2009, at the Baltimore City’s Book Festival, Nader discussed some of the reasons that caused him to write his tome. He spoke for over an hour and half before a standing room only audience. Nader’s speech was sponsored by Red (…)

    Daniel Patrick Welch, regaining his muse after an unfortunate hiatus, marvels at the audacity of the THC (Talking Heads Chorus), who tell us with a straight face that it’s our own damn fault if the fake "recovery" sputters—for not spending the money we don’t have!
    *******
    These recessions are getting shorter and shorter. If you delay admitting it’s happening until the shit really hits the fan, then claim it’s all better while the shit is still spraying all over you, eventually it will (…)

  • Obama Stuck between Wars on Iraq, Afghanistan
    26 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    It was extraordinarily questionable why U.S. President Barak Obama chose not to credit the War on Afghanistan with a separate paragraph in his speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 23, to “note” the war on Iraq with only a four – line paragraph, and instead to escalate his war of words on Iran, as if the expansion of the war on Afghanistan into Pakistan was not enough over-depletion of an already exhausted U.S. human, financial and military (…)

    “Peace” was celebrated on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, on a sprawling farm located in the rolling hills of Carroll County, Maryland, near Westminster. What a breath of fresh air! If only the churches, synagogues and mosques would stop making their lame excuses and follow suit. The event honored the “International Day of Peace.” The organizers labeled it: “The 1st Annual World Peace Party.” One of the ways the occasion was marked was by a dedication of a “Peace Pole.” That ceremony also included (…)

  • The Lost Children
    19 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Glenn Cox
    It is human nature that impels the majority of us to be followers. Normal people, after five or six years of wandering in the desert, will begin to ask questions of their leadership. But a faith-based leadership leans heavily on the desire not to be wrong. No one likes being wrong, and many, if not most of us, will jump through hoops to prove that we are not wrong.
    This defines our political landscape today. The Republican party is aimless and wandering; they have lost (…)

  • 10 biggest lies about the international swine flu scam

    (NaturalNews) The mainstream media is engaged in what we Americans call "bald faced lies" about swine flu. It seems to be true with this issue more than any other, and it became apparent to me recently when a colleague of mine — a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist — told me their column on natural defenses for swine flu was rejected by newspapers all across the country. Many newspapers refused to run the column and, instead, ran an ad for "free vaccine clinics" in the same space. (…)

    On the evening of Sept. 16, 2009, a protest action was staged at Goucher College in Towson, MD, just north of Baltimore City, with respect to the appearance of Karl Rove on campus, as a guest speaker. Rove, aka “Dubya’s Brain,” was a senior advisor, (2001-07), to then President, George W. Bush. He is suspected of participating in a White House-based cabal, (WHIG), which helped to launch the immoral and illegal Iraq War. Just as Rove was being introduced, at least three activists stood up in (…)
