Britain may be a Christian country… but its government marches to the beat of another drum
Stuart Littlewood
Prime minister David Cameron has told Britain: "We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so."
He was speaking on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the King James version of the Bible which, he said, had helped to give Britain a set of values and morals that make us what we are today.
THE ENEMY EXPATRIATION ACT
ANONYMOUS
H.R. 3166: Enemy Expatriation Act (#EEA)
The Enemy Expatriation Act is yet another treasonous bill similar to the National Defense Authorization Act that was signed into law by President Obama on New Years' Eve. The NDAA, which authorizes the indefinite detention of American citizens on U.S. soil, was met with outrage from the American public. The media largely refused to cover the NDAA until it was too late, and the bill had been signed into law. We are now faced with a similar situation. The Enemy Expatriation Act has been introduced in the House, and again, the media refuses to cover it. The American public have the right to know about a bill that could revoke their United States citizenship, and the continuing media blackout poses a serious threat to the freedoms this country pledges to provide its citizens.
Saving the Post Office: The Models of Kiwibank and Japan
by Ellen Brown
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow may have stopped the Pony Express, but the nation’s oldest and second largest employer is now under attack. Claiming the Postal Service is bankrupt, critics are pushing legislation that would defuse the postal crisis by breaking the backs of the postal workers’ unions and mandating widespread layoffs. But the “crisis” is an artificial one, created by Congress itself.
In 2006, Congress passed the Postal Accountability Enhancement Act (PAEA), which forced the USPS to put aside billions of dollars to pay for the health benefits of employees, many of whom hadn’t even been hired yet.

A Culture of Resistance is Born in 2011: the People United in an Independent Movement
By Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers
In 2012, the Real Conversation will be in the Occupations, while Corporate Candidates have a False Conversation
The Occupy Movement that developed in 2011 profoundly shook the foundation of the 1%. Almost instantly a new form of political power was created, all truly grown from the grass roots, and handed the 99% some REAL political capital for the first time in decades, and installed the Occupy Movement as a force to be reckoned with. Next spring promises to see more growth of this movement as the economy continues to stagnate and the government continues its dysfunction. Already, the Occupy Movement it showing its political independence: protesting candidates from both parties who are part of corrupt money-based elections.The irrelevance of the political debate, primarily between two-corporate approved candidates, will become more evident as the voices of the people grow.
Just another Palestinian year
By Khalid Amayreh
Palestinian and foreign activists in Ramallah rally in support of UN
recognition of a Palestinian state, which is opposed by Israeli leaders,
but is gaining momentum with reconciliation between Hamas and the PLO
Israeli settlement expansion continued to annul any chances of peace, while the 2011 Arab Spring buoyed Palestinian hopes, at least for a while, writes Khaled Amayreh in Ramallah
Like in previous years, 2011 was more or less another "normal" year for the Palestinians as Israel, which is ruled by a racist coalition of right wing and religious parties, continued to narrow Palestinian horizons, effectively putting an end to any realistic hopes for establishing a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state on the West Bank.
Psychologically, most Palestinians were in a slightly better mood in 2011 due to the outbreak of the Arab Spring, which many Palestinians view as a promising development of strategic proportions and a potentially important asset for the Palestinian cause.
How To Succeed In Egypt Without Really Trying
by Keith Johnson
Late last month, Egyptian police raided the offices of 17 so-called “pro-democracy and human rights groups.” Among them were the U.S.-based International Republican Institute (IRI), Freedom House (FH) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI). All of these organizations are heavily funded by the U.S. State Department and are used to keep political opposition groups in line with western foreign policy ambitions.
In reaction, the U.S. State Department called the raids “inconsistent with the bilateral cooperation we have had over many years” and urged Egyptian authorities to immediately halt “harassment” of non-governmental organization staff. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland even went so far as to say that military aid could be difficult to push through Congress if the situation didn’t improve.

By Katherine Smith, PhD

Freedom: An Endangered Species in America
by Stephen Lendman

Last September, marking the 9/11 tenth anniversary, the ACLU published a report titled, A Call to Courage: Reclaiming Our Liberties Ten Years After 9/11."
Who then could have imagined America engaged in:
- out-of-control imperial lawlessness;
- torture as official policy;
- extraordinary renditions;
- targeted killings;
- warrantless searches;
Targeting Journalists in Iraq
by Stephen Lendman
March 19 marks Operation Iraqi Freedom's 9th anniversary. Brutal occupation continues. Thousands of US forces remain.
Obama's alleged pullout repositioned troops nearby and left many there. Moreover, an army of paramilitary killers infest the country.
Overall conditions are grim, including millions of refugees, mass poverty and deprivation, rampant human rights and civil liberty abuses, and lack of basic services, including clean water, sanitation, electricity, health care and education.
