On Dec. 23, 2008, activists held a press conference, at 12:30 PM, along with a picket line, in front of the Baltimore City’s Sheriff’s Office, at the main Court House, near the City Hall. They requested a halt, a moratorium, to all foreclosures and evictions in the city, and that the Sheriff’s Office follow the precedent established by the Sheriff of Cook County, Illinois, and the Sheriff of Philadelphia, PA, in this regard.

Mumbai Terrorism: Beyond Official Story-II
23 December 2008Part-2
Kashmir Watch, December 23
By Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal
State Terrorism in “innocent” India Even after killing thousands of innocent Kashmiris, destroying the grand Babri Mosque and torturing Indian Muslims in jails after the fall of Babri Mosque, India still calls itself a peace-loving nation, a secular democracy every body else a terrorist state. While presenting a false image abroad as peace loving and “terror victim” nation, India indeed is problem for the neighborhood. (…) -
Mumbai Terrorism: Beyond Official Story- I
23 December 2008Part-1
Kashmir Watch, December 21
By Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal
Terrorism could be the best tool or toy the arrogant states could employ to terrorize innocent people. It has become an international norm to emulate the Western and Indian media reporting and make analyses strictly according to their mindsets; any deviation or diversion from the "usual" ways is resisted and badly condemned by their global agents. My views not conforming to Indian or US media modes are, therefore, have not (…) -
The monster in the mirror
23 December 2008The Mumbai attacks have been dubbed ’India’s 9/11’, and there are calls for a 9/11-style response, including an attack on Pakistan. Instead, the country must fight terrorism with justice, or face civil war
We’ve forfeited the rights to our own tragedies. As the carnage in Mumbai raged on, day after horrible day, our 24-hour news channels informed us that we were watching "India’s 9/11". Like actors in a Bollywood rip-off of an old Hollywood film, we’re expected to play our parts and say (…) -
CALIFORNIA’S CONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
22 December 2008by David R. Hoffman
When I was a teacher, I would often tell my students this hypothetical: “Our classroom has decided to form a new country and create a new government to run it. Now imagine that everyone in this class practices the same religion, except for two students.
History has shown that many nations have been involved in violent conflicts because of religious differences, and some are still engaged in such conflicts today. To eliminate this problem in our new nation, we are (…) -
Free Education and Free Healthcare are Fundamental Human Rights
22 December 2008“Free Education and Free Healthcare are Fundamental Human Rights”- Interview with Juan Antonio Fernández Palacios, Cuban Ambassador in Geneva
CC.Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959 the country has often been regarded as an appendix of the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union many people in the West expected an end of the cuban socialism. However, 18 years later, the Cuban system still exists, even more solid than before.
After the 1959 revolution the US established (…) -
Battle of the Banks
22 December 2008By Rep. Dennis Kucinich (my guy, circa 2008)
Once they were as gods, but the deities of the American banking system are now in ruins, plunged from their pedestals into the maw of taxpayer largesse. Congress voted to give the banks $700 billion, lifting them temporarily out of their sepulcher of debt, while revealing a deep truth about the condition of America’s financial powers:
They never had the money they said they had as they constructed their debt-based monetary system which now (…) -

Ford’s Legacy
21 December 2008By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com
Deep Throat is dead. The man who brought down a President by leaking information which otherwise would never have seen the light of day is gone. His passing should be remembered because he was the Paul Revere of his generation. He held up the light of truth in the steeple as he risked his career, his family, and if caught he might have been sentenced to more hard time than all the Watergate conspirators combined.
Those inside the (…)
