    25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Jewish-American activist identified as Rae Abileah, a 28-year-old of Israeli descent and member of the group CODEPINK.
    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday was disrupted by a left-wing protester calling to stop the Israeli occupation in Palestine.
    The heckler was identified as Rae Abileah, a 28-year-old Jewish-American activist, of Israeli decent, who works with human rights organization CODEPINK.
    Rae Abileah is taken away after (…)

  • The Israeli reality that Obama doesn’t understand
    25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    It’s impossible to understand why a country and a people continue to refuse to do the right thing, something that could have been done a long while back.
    "President Obama doesn’t understand the reality," according to "associates" of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who spoke after the meeting between the two leaders. And when that is the headline of the daily Yisrael Hayom, it is clearly Netanyahu’s headline: "President Obama doesn’t understand the reality."
    You can’t blame him: It (…)

  • Obama to Israel: Take whatever you want
    25 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    In his latest speech, Obama’s thinly veiled rhetoric proves he will do anything to satisfy his pro-Israel voter base.
    In 2008, Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, pandered to pro-Israeli voters and Israel by promising in a speech addressed to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), that Jerusalem would forever remain "the undivided capital of Israel".
    Three years later, Obama is on another pre-campaign trail in order to improve his chances for re-election (…)

  • The Worst Bill Ever in Congress
    24 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    The "Defense Authorization" bill now before Congress, HR 1750, is arguably the worst bill ever considered likely to pass into law. It includes $118 billion for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, wars a majority of Americans wants ended. But that’s not why it’s the worst bill ever.
    This bill also includes $553 billion for other military waste. That’s enough money to save and improve a lot of lives if it weren’t being dumped into the war machine. But that’s not why this is the worst bill ever. (…)

    STOP THE OBAMA WARS : TUESDAY 24 MAY 5.30PM BUCKINGHAM PALACE LONDON SW1A 1AA Called by Stop the War and CND
    President Obama is visiting Britain next week. It is important he and the world understand that the wars in Afghanistan and Libya are deeply unpopular here.
    Far from bringing an end to George Bush’s wars, President Obama has presided over attacks on Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia and Libya, as well as the continuing occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is (…)

  • Republicans in Congress to Crown Obama King
    20 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    In what will come as a shock to the Tea Party and yet probably not rival the recent royal wedding in London for viewership, Republican Congressman Buck McKeon and Republican Senator John McCain plan to crown President Barack Obama King of America. They’re not kidding, and this is no stunt.
    Here’s what noted Republican Abraham Lincoln once wrote on the subject:
    "Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow (…)

  • Enabling Acts
    8 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    by David Glenn Cox
    I’ve been watching a magic trick, just another of many that I’ve witnessed over the years. Funny thing about magic tricks is that even though you don’t know for sure how the trick is done, you do know that what you’ve just witnessed isn’t the truth. The only thing that you can ever count on to be the truth in the United States is that you are never told the truth.
    I’ve seen a President killed with a sniper rifle with a bent site and misaligned scope. I’ve had it (…)

  • UK Royal wedding, Royal & UK censorship & horrendous war crimes of Churchill and Queen Victoria
    2 May 2011 par (Open-Publishing)
    2 comments

    An estimated 2 billion people watched the wedding of Kate and William in London and we all wish the best for the happy couple. However the TV coverage permitted by the Royal Family involved massive censorship of the Australian ABC and indeed all other media. The Royal Family and the British Establishment survive through censorship, lies (of commission and omission) and slies (spin-based untruths) and this latest British censorship demands exposure of Britain’s horrendous past and continuing (…)

  • Obama on Manning: “He Broke the Law.” So Much for that Trial?
    28 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    President Barack Obama made stunning accusations about accused Wikileaks whistleblower PFC Bradley Manning, directly asserting that Manning “broke the law.” Apparently the President of the United States of America and a self-described Constitutional scholar does not care that Manning has yet to be tried or convicted for any crime.
    In a discussion yesterday with Logan Price, a Bradley Manning supporter who was part of a group of activists who sang a song during the President’s San Francisco (…)

  • Is Myanmar At A Crossroads?
    25 April 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    So far 2011 is proving to be an eventful year for Myanmar, formerly known as and still generally called Burma. Despite the slight easing of restraints put on Aung San Suu Kyi, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Shan State in northeast Burma on March 24, which the junta controlled media says killed 75 people but aid agencies believe killed over 150, leads to widespread distrust of the country’s rulers and their version of reality. Now the U.S. is sending a new envoy to Myanmar, Derek (…)
