“I say to you, O Republic...Beware of the man [or woman] who rises to power from one suspender.” - Edgar Lee Masters
Baltimore, MD - On Dec. 1, 2009, after often heated deliberations for seven days, and with two weekend breaks, a jury of nine women and three men in the criminal trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon, returned a “guilty” verdict on one of the five theft-related counts in the indictment against her. By law, as a result of the conviction, she will forfeit her office; the current (…)

THE JFK CASE: WHAT INFORMANTS ARE STILL OUT THERE?
25 November 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
There are many questions about the JFK assassination that can easily be answered - but only by eyewitnesses who aren’t going to be alive for much longer.
Do the math: It was 46 years ago this week. It’s time for these eyewitnesses to tell their stories - or for the rest of us to at least know who to ask.
Thanks to the JFK Act of 1992 passed in the wake of Oliver Stone’s well-known movie, many of the assassination documents were released in the last few years - but the rest are being (…) -

Baltimore, MD - On Monday, Nov. 9, 2009, the criminal trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon will open up in the Circuit Court House, only two blocks from City Hall, where she’s reigned as boss of bosses since 2007. In a way, it will be like watching one of the iconic John Waters’ flicks. The case will have it all: sex, fur coats, a shop-till-you drop mentality, comedy, a married boyfriend in heat, gift cards, sleazy (…) -

"Only India stands to benefit from this massacre [of French engineers]," said a western European diplomat based in (…) -

At a hearing on Human Rights, on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 22, 2009, Rep.

He cited: “Bloody Sunday,” the “Guildford Four Case,” “The Birmingham Six,” the deportation of Joe Doherty, and the killing of the unarmed “Gibraltar Three.” Rep. Neal underscored that (…) -

President Barak Obama, The White House, 1600, Pennsylvania Avenue N. W., Washington D.C. 20500
1st October 2009
Dear Mister President Obama,
October is here, and the five Cubans Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez, Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino and René Gonzalez are still imprisoned in your country.
Following their arrest on 12th September 1998, they were placed in isolated “holes” during 17 months in the Miami’s prison, in such totally inhumane conditions. Once the trial was (…) -
WHEN I SPEAK, I TREMBLE
14 September 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentSince the beginning of recorded time, history has taught one immutable lesson: Evil is resilient, and even when it appears to be vanquished, it often reemerges in a different form. This resiliency is dramatically increased in environments where people who dream of a better world are unable to speak because nobody can hear them, or unwilling to speak due to fear or intimidation. In such milieus any hope for progress or positive social change is more illusory than real.
The people of the (…) -

WALRUS BULLS BELLOWING ON A BEACH
John Chuckman
I am disappointed with the view of some knowledgeable commentators over Scotland’s release of the dying man who was convicted of the Lockerbie-airline bombing.
From a purely power-politics point of view, of course, they are right: judging by the ugly noises echoing across the oceans from America, Scotland has done itself no favor.
But if all affairs are to be carried on in every country from that point of view, it (…) -
Will Richard B. Cheney & Other ever be brught to Justice?
20 July 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsNo one is above the law.
But, recent news reports indicate that former Vice President Richard B. Cheney created a secret CIA assassination program and then hid it from Congress, the public and the Justice Department.
This has to be the last straw.
This is the latest in a series of news reports indicating that the Vice President and other high-ranking members of the Bush Cabal conspired to break our laws and then cover it up.
From Watergate to Iran Contra, special prosecutors have (…) -
Video: Enver Masud: 9/11, Waterboarding, a Confession and the Iraq War
28 June 2009 par (Open-Publishing)
Enver Masud was one of the speakers at a “Demand Accountability for Torture” rally, on June 25, 2009, in John Marshall Park, in Washington, D.C. He questioned how Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was “waterboarded 183 times” by the CIA, and then confessed to being the “mastermind of 9/11,” can get a “fair trial” in this country. Mr. Masud connected the dots between 9/11, the waterboarding of a detainee, a so-called “confession,” and the Iraq War. Mr. Masud is the founder and CEO of “The Wisdom (…)
