    25 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    The U.S administration and Israel are accelerating their coordinated meddling in the internal Palestinian divide between the Fatah-led presidency and the Hamas-led government to pre-empt a series of Arab mediation efforts, the latest of which is a UAE-Syrian try according to a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
    The PLO official, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that President Mahmoud Abbas authorized the United Arab (…)

    The Spirit of Christmas: Bush banned from birthplace of Jesus Christ
    Global Research, December 25, 2006 - 2006-12-17
    "Their entry into the church will tarnish it as Bush’s hands are covered in the blood of the innocent..."
    The Spirit of Christmas consists in spreading Peace and Justice. The Spirit of Christmas is when War Criminals are banned from the Birthplace of Jesus Christ.
    In light of the military campaign directed against Iraq, the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem decided (…)

  • And So This Is Christmas
    24 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    "We have to be the ones to give our leaders the courage to do the right thing."
    And so this is Christmas, And what have you done? Another year over, A new one just begun. (John Lennon)
    Today is the 21st birthday of my youngest child, Janey. It is the 3rd birthday that she has "celebrated" since her oldest sibling, Casey was killed in Iraq. My other son, Andy, turned 21 the year Casey was killed. Carly, my oldest daughter, turned 24 the year after Casey was killed...the same age he was (…)

    “We’re not disturbing the peace. We’re disturbing the war.” - Activist Patrick J. Elder
    Montgomery County, Maryland - A protest action was held on Friday morning, Dec. 22, 2006, in front of and along the sidewalk of a huge complex of office buildings, housing the national headquarters of Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s largest producers of cluster bombs. Over a million of these lethal weapons were used by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the recent war this past summer in (…)

  • Aaron Burr and Dick Cheney: Two Treacherous VPs
    21 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Hands stained with the best blood of our nation.” - The Gazette of the United States, a Philadelphia newspaper, in an editorial, denouncing Aaron Burr for killing Alexander Hamilton. (1)
    After Aaron Burr, the then V. P. of the United States, shot Alexander Hamilton to death in a duel, he became the most loathed man in America. In light of the fact that the Bush-Cheney Gang is insisting on sending 30,000 more U.S. troops into a raging Civil War in Iraq, I predict that V.P. Dick Cheney’s (…)

    Greetings from the Occupied Holy Lands Dear Santa, or Someone ...
    By DEB REICH December 16 / 17, 2006
    Dear Santa, I live in Israel/Palestine and I think I am probably addicted to the big bad conflict we have here. We all seem to be addicted to the conflict we have here. We are so used to it, sometimes I wonder if, given half a chance, we could really learn to live without it. Meanwhile, the academics study it. The politicians cook it and bake it and spin it. The pollsters monitor it. (…)

  • Call me Ebenezer, but Christmas as we know it needs to go.....
    19 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Jason Miller
    Bursting forth with renewed intensity, the “War on Christmas” is back in 2006.
    So just what does this alleged war against an impalpable enemy entail?
    Have “Islamofascists” captured and decapitated Santa Claus?
    Did a US-made IDF “smart bomb” strike Bethlehem and obliterate baby Jesus as he lay in the manger?
    Did the Grinch go global with his nefarious thievery?
    Actually, the answer can be found amongst the corporate media’s nearly countless obfuscations and (…)

  • Rumsfeld the War Criminal: Snowflakes on Mass Graves
    18 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Snowflakes on Mass Graves When will Americans wake up & get with the rest of the world? Probably about the same time our credit runs out & China comes to settle their investments...
    Of course Rumsfeld is a war criminal, but then the entire Executive branch of the US govt. has been in "war criminal" mode since the CIA was invented to carry out secret wars, executions, torture, terrorism & etc. for the Big Corporations & other elite power-brokers.
    Rumsfeld is of particular (…)

    I’m sending a copy of this letter to everybody I know .Even though I’m confident all will agree with its substance. As we hear from time to time, give two rational people the same facts and they will come to the same conclusions.
    "Terrorist", "terror", and "terrorism", they are the defining buzz words for this present day-the Shibboleths of an obscene drive for empire by the United States of America. Any clear-sightedness as to the meaning of any or all of these three words has eroded (…)
