Mr President,
Here is a nice Christmas tale for the last letter of this year 2011.
Once upon a time, in Cuba, there was a children’s theater company called “La Colmenita”.
Once upon a time, in France, there was the Brownstone Foundation that supports and helps out social and humanitarian activities promoting culture and education.
Thanks to the Brownstone Foundation, and of course to (…)

You come out of the block. You see a fire coming out of the chimneys. You smell this terrible smell – that of flesh as it burns. 
And someone says, “This is not a factory. This is where they are burning your family.” And you say, “You are mad...”

I purchased the book The American Republic Manifestum from Amazon. When I got it I of course read it. If these words are true, then the author" An American" will start a revolution in America not seen since 1770. This is bigger than any protest I have ever seen. The rest of the world should read this book, because it could happen in your country as well.

S. President. It (…)

Israel: Profile of a Rogue State by Stephen Lendman
Rogue states spurn international law, treaties, conventions, and in Israel’s case its own laws and Supreme Court decisions.
Daily examples offer proof, including from Ahmed el-Helah and Mariam Itani’s new book titled, "The Suffering of the Palestinian Child under the Israeli Occupation," saying:
Over a million Palestinian children "live and suffer every moment of their lives under the painful reality of occupation."
Growing numbers (…)

A Turkish newspaper has unveiled that French military forces are training armed Syrian rebels to fight the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
According to Milliyet, as cited by IRNA, France has sent its military training forces to Turkey and Lebanon to coach the so-called Free Syrian Army — a group of defectors operating out of Turkey and Lebanon — in an effort to wage war against Syria’s military.
The report added that the French, British, and Turkish authorities “have reached an (…)
