  • America Is Bankrupt

    America Is Bankrupt
    by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers
    A recent trip to the United States – after a three-year absence – showed me how far the country and its people have deteriorated in a short period of time. Americans are bankrupt. They are bankrupt at every possible level: spiritually, morally, educationally. The country’s economy has deteriorated to the level of a Philippines or a Thailand (and I mean no disrespect to the Philippines or Thailand – I love those places).
    Human-to-human (…)

  • Valuable, Voluntary and Educational National Youth Service in America
    18 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Irrespective of who’s anointed at the presidential coronation in January, many more Americans will soon be performing national service, including compulsory military tours of duty in the never-ending War Against Terror and the soon-to-be-announced Wars Against Sedition, Starvation, Unemployment, and Internal Insurrection, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
    John McCain has said, "After 9/11, I think we made a mistake by telling Americans they ought to go on a trip, or shop. I think we (…)

  • Western Mainstream Media IGNORE real 9-11 crime: 9-11 million Bush War deaths from Haiti to Afghanistan
    17 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    On September 16 2008, the major US Mainstream media organization MSNBC had the Headline: “2008 a deadly year for Afghan civilians. More than 1,400 killed so far in attacks by insurgents, U.S. and NATO” (see: ).
    This represents a HUGE UNDER-ESTIMATE of civilian deaths in US-, UK-, NATO- and Australia-occupied Afghanistan. Thus it can be estimated from authoritative UN and medical literature data that EACH YEAR in Occupied Afghanistan under-5 infant deaths ALONE total 327,000 - 90%, i.e. (…)

  • Celebrating Evil with PBS’s Monica Crowley

    Saakashvili is a war criminal who ordered the indiscriminate murder of our civilian populace, a crime warranting death anywhere, just ask ourselves. It’s called mass murder.
    Celebrating Evil with PBS’s Monica Crowley

  • Man of Peace Swimming against the Current

    By Nicola Nasser*
    For the first time, since the U.S.-hosted Annapolis conference on November 27 last year re-launched the Palestinian – Israeli negotiations, which were interrupted by the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 after the collapse of the Camp David trilateral summit, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas came out for the first time on record in Cairo on September 6 to “doubt” striking a peace deal with Israel “by the end of the year because very little time is left;" on September 10 he (…)

    Sarah Palin is not opposed to going to war with Russia
    By Mary MacElveen
    Like Ed Koch who endorsed Barack Obama citing of Sarah Palin, “She scares me”, I would have to side with the former mayor. In reading where Palin stated in her interview with ABC’s Charlie Gibson she is open to the idea of a war with Russia, it does create a sense of terror within me.
    While I did not watch the interview, this was enough for me and reaffirmed my support for Senator Obama and Senator Biden and for (…)

  • Reinventing the Evil Empire by Stephen Lendman
    12 September 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    CounterPunch
    For the West, everything changed but stayed the same, hard-wired and in place. Things just lay dormant in the shadows during the Yeltsin years, certain to reemerge once a more resolute Russian leader took over. If not Vladimir Putin, someone else little different.
    Russia is back, proud and reassertive, and not about to roll over for America. Especially in Eurasia. For Washington, it’s back to the future, the new Cold War, and reinventing the Evil Empire, but this time for (…)
