Twenty Nine Reasons People Need to Pull Their Heads Out of the Sand
Wanda Woodward
When money speaks, the truth keeps silent. - Russian Proverb
All it takes for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing. - Edmund Burke
Corporations have been enthroned…An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people…until wealth is aggregated in a few hands…and the Republic is destroyed. - Abraham Lincoln
Less than two years ago, I sent an email to an acquaintance regarding some pressing topic like global environmental degradation, erosion of habeas corpus in America, or the millions of women and girls around the world who are being sold as sex slaves, victims of female genital mutilation, raped, beaten, and murdered. The response from the acquaintance shocked me, especially since she was highly educated, is a mental health professional (supposedly with lots of compassion), and has two small children who will, of course, inherit the legacy of the condition in which she and I and 6.6 billion others will leave this world. To paraphrase, she said: “Oh, I can’t read this stuff. I bury my head in the sand because there is so much and I can’t do anything about it.”
Retailers risk prosecution for mislabelling produce from illegal Israeli settlements
Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights
Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) are illegal under International law, as confirmed by the International Court of Justice in its Advisory Opinion of 9 July 2004 on the separation barrier in the West Bank. Produce of illegal Israeli settlements is imported and readily sold in UK supermarkets, such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Somerfield. That produce is regularly labelled misleadingly as originating in the ‘West Bank’.
BUSH, CHENEY AND RUMSFELD - UNINDICTED WAR CRIMINALS
Allen L Roland
Any American who watches Bill Moyer's harrowing PBS documentary TORTURING DEMOCRACY will not only be shocked by the Bush Administration's move to the dark side but the key role of Dick Cheney in implementing this blatant abuse of executive power:
I just finished watching Part One of Bill Moyer's TORTURING DEMOCRACY ~ From 9/11 to Waterboarding: The Inside Story and it was a harrowing experience of watching evil perpetuated and condoned by morally corrupt leaders, led by Dick Cheney ~ who were committed to breaking all moral conventions and laws to accomplish their evil means and legally cover their tracks in the process.

Written by Robert Singer
Albert Pike, Baron Edmond de Rothschild

“The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm … Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.” [1]
Shedding our own blood to please Israel
By Khalid Amayreh in Ramallah
The unnecessary death of six Palestinians, including two resistance fighters, by Palestinian hands in Qalqilya on Sunday, 31 May, will be an indelible and everlasting stigma of shame on the forehead of Israel’s Palestinian puppets.
Palestinian (PA) officials, who think that dishonesty is the best policy, claimed that the killings were necessitated by commitments to keep law and order and protect the “national scheme.”

THE POLITICAL FUTURE
by Mary Pitt
One may hear much speculation as to the future of the Republican Party as that once-august group find their following at a historic low and they have to turn for leadership to radio commentators and historic losers from their past. The most-asked questions in the television fora is, "Where is the future of the Republican party?"

“Racists for Democracy”
Uri Avnery
How lucky we are to have the extreme Right standing guard over our democracy!
This week, the Knesset voted by a large majority (47 to 34) for a law that threatens imprisonment for anyone who dares to deny that Israel is a Jewish and Democratic State.
The private member’s bill, proposed by MK Zevulun Orlev of the “Jewish Home” party, which sailed through its preliminary hearing, promises one year in prison to anyone who publishes “a call that negates the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State”, if the contents of the call might cause “actions of hate, contempt or disloyalty against the state or the institutions of government or the courts”.
One can foresee the next steps. A million and a half Arab citizens cannot be expected to recognize Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State. They want it to be “a state of all its citizens” – Jews, Arabs and others. They also claim with reason that Israel discriminates against them, and therefore is not really democratic. And, in addition, there are also Jews who do not want Israel to be defined as a Jewish State in which non-Jews have the status, at best, of tolerated outsiders. The consequences are inevitable.
Daniel Estulin's "True Story of the Bilderberg Group" and What They May Be Planning Now
by Stephen Lendman
For over 14 years, Daniel Estulin has investigated and researched the Bilderberg Group's far-reaching influence on business and finance, global politics, war and peace, and control of the world's resources and its money.
His book, "The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," was published in 2005 and is now updated in a new 2009 edition. He states that in 1954, "the most powerful men in the world met for the first time" in Oosterbeek, Netherlands, "debated the future of the world," and decided to meet annually in secret. They called themselves the Bilderberg Group with a membership representing a who's who of world power elites, mostly from America, Canada, and Western Europe with familiar names like David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Angela Merkel, Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Lloyd Blankfein, George Soros, Donald Rumsfeld, Rupert Murdoch, other heads of state, influential senators, congressmen and parliamentarians, Pentagon and NATO brass, members of European royalty, selected media figures, and invited others - some quietly by some accounts like Barack Obama and many of his top officials.
