Censorship is an insidious evil that not only offensively inhibits free speech and human communication but also short-circuits science-based risk management that is crucial for societal safety and which successively involves (a) accurate information, (b) scientific analysis and (c) informed systemic change to minimize risk. Neocon- and Zionist-promoted Mainstream media censorship has perverted Western democracies which have become Murdochracies (Big Money buys public perception of reality (…)

I will hardly refer to the Cuban people, who one day rid their country of the United States domain, when the imperialist system had reached the height of its power.
Men and women of different ages paraded on May Day down the most symbolic squares in all provinces of the country.
Our Revolution emerged where it was least expected by the empire, in a hemisphere where it was used to act like an all-powerful master.
Cuba came to be the last country to get rid of Spanish colonialism and the (…)

In considering from the numerous choices for these top five slots, we take into account a number of variables, including investment in renewable energy, the ability to influence policy and shape public (…)

We most sincerely want to take our hats off to all those amongst you who contributed to creating a stir in the world around the mission “Welcome to Palestine”.
We reached our aim to impose a debate on the question of Palestine, to break the silence about the Israeli occupation and the imprisonment of all the Palestinians. By refusing to allow men, women and children to go to the West Bank because these dare say openly they are going to Palestine, they are nonviolent and support the (…)
