"What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760 – 1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington.” –John Adams, Letter to Thomas Jefferson, August 24, 1815
Once again the time has come for revolution in America. Instead of a British king we have a ruling class of bankers and billionaires who control (…)

Mister President Obama The White House

Washington DC 20500
Mr President,
For the tenth anniversary of the appalling terrorist attack of September 11th 2001, your country gave a moving homage to the victims. To the 3,034 persons killed that day, one must add the numerous members of the rescue squads that died later from inhaling poisonous substances during the rescue operations. Almost at the same time, for the thirteenth anniversary of the arrest of (…)

The World is acutely threatened by man-made climate change from increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution.

Australia, Canada and the United States as major annual per capita GHG polluters are disproportionately contributing to a a worsening (…)

Chabil Utzaj will create 2,000 jobs for local labor. Just in the (…)

Putin Bashing — Western Press
by Stephen Lendman On September 24, Russia’s Vladimir Putin announced he’ll run again for president in 2012 after serving eight years as Dmitry Medvedev’s Prime Minister.
America’s media have better memories than elephants. In November 2007, they recall Putin on National Unity Day telling military cadets and youth groups that while: “an overwhelming majority of people in the world,” are friendly toward Russia, some “keep saying to this day that our nation (…)

India contributed an army of 2.4 million men to assist the British war effort in World War 2. However India was rewarded by a British-imposed Bengal Famine (Bengali Holocaust, Indian Holocaust) that killed 6-7 million Indians in Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Orissa in the period 1942-1945. Australia was a major supplier of wheat but deliberately by-passed starving India, this boosting British food stocks and what was evidently a starvation-based military strategy to prevent Japanese advance (…)

Nearly USD 10 trillion of the USD 15 trillion in ghost assets announced in GEAB N°56 have already gone up in smoke. The rest (and probably much more) will (…)

In 1975 I was instructed by my "Creative Writing" teacher to compose a pro-death penalty essay for a contest that some group, with a high social approval rating, was holding. The prize was a $25 scholarship to the University of your choice.
I suppose it accomplished the goal, it made me write "creatively," and more especially in light of the fact that I was morally opposed to the death penalty - but it certainly was a systemic effort to curb my first amendment right to free speech.
