We Need an Alternative to the Democrats and GOP
By Timothy V. Gatto
When I attended the One Nation Rally on October 2, I was gratified that the public has become so aware of the corporate control that has gripped both political parties. The graft, the campaign financing using practices such as “bundling” donations, the offers of employment at lobbying firms should a politician retire or lose his or her seat and the many “perks” offered to members of Congress like hunting trips, vacations and country club memberships just to name a few. As I mentioned before, it was gratifying because I have been writing about this for the last five years and it has only become an issue that the bulk of people know about for the last two years.
Many of my articles were printed at the bottom of the page on the many sites that carry my work. I guess that when I started writing about corporate control of our republic, that issue wasn’t very sexy or thrilling. Still, it was to me and I’m glad I never quit writing about it.

Chapter 1: And so it began…
"If you shut up the truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way."- Emile Zola
A few days before my first of seven journeys to Israel Palestine, a Palestinian American friend warned me, “Don’t visit Vanunu, if you see him; don’t speak to him. He’s not allowed to speak to foreigners and you could cause him trouble.”
I responded, “OK, I won’t track him down, but Jerusalem is a small town and if our paths cross, I will speak to him. What kind of government is that, that will tell a human being who they can and cannot talk with?”
More on Washington's Failed Ecuadorean Coup Attempt
by Stephen Lendman
For nearly two centuries, America dismissively called Latin America its "backyard," the 1823 Monroe Doctrine asserting a declaration of regional dominance, stating:
"....as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any
European powers....we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.... (impossible to) behold....with indifference."
“RULE OF LIE,” AMERICA’S “WINGNUT” PRESS
By Gordon Duff
THE PHONY PRESS, SEX, SIN AND WAR
President Ahmadinejad of Iran has asked for a UN investigation of 9/11. For this, he has been branded a “wingnut” and “evildoer” by the American press.
However, the 9/11 Commission itself asked for a criminal investigation, saying it uncovered a conspiracy and was prevented from getting the truth. They were quickly silenced.
9 years later, top scientists from around the world, supported by engineers, architects, military and intelligence officials agree on one thing. What thing is that? We will never know.
Icelanders egg PM as global protests condemn corruption, banksters
By Rady Ananda
As proceedings begin against Iceland's former Prime Minister, Geir Haarde, for the banking crisis of 2008, at least two thousand Icelanders took to the streets in two days of protest this weekend. Iceland joins over a dozen other nations protesting economic measures taken out on the public while banks and large corporations receive bailouts. Class war is on, and it's gone global.
Don't U.S. experiments continue?
David H Marshall
“[ Footnote 4 ] The intelligence community believed that it was necessary "to conceal these activities from the American public in general," because public knowledge of the "unethical and illicit activities would have serious repercussions in political and diplomatic circles and would be detrimental to the accomplishment of its mission." Id., at 394 (quoting CIA Inspector General's Survey of the Technical Services Division, p. 217 (1957)).” See [Footnote 4 of IV] U.S. 709 U.S. Supreme Court 1987 STANLEY military experiment case. [3] The "Veterans Right to Know Act" to establish the Veterans' Right to Know Commission was proposed in the 2005 and H.R. 4259 [109th] 2006 Congress.[9] In accordance with the ongoing greater good necessity “to conceal these activities...” a veteran's right to get the U.S. Senate’s “designed to harm” needed for treatment, and experiment identifying, evidence never became law.
To-date rejected is the U.S. Senate 1994 Report’s, “The Feres Doctrine should not be applied for military personnel who are harmed by inappropriate human experimentation when informed consent has not been given.”[8] Despite the 16 of 66 year efforts of some, the U.S. Congress has failed to protect service personnel from “to harm” experiments. Therefore, do not the U.S. Senate’s reported Department of Defense (DOD) “EXPERIMENTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO HARM” [8] continue? All conducted under the cover of Patriotism!
IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT FORECLOSURE AND MORTGAGE FRAUD
by Barbara Ann Jackson
NOTE: For complete details and facts about what “foreclosure mills” have been accused of doing –for details about why questions are being raised regarding foreclosure legalities and why foreclosures are being halted in some areas; and for details of why members of Congress are probing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about hiring foreclosure mills, GOOGLE and read the hundreds of news stories concerning what is going on in Florida.
Also, see how other States are starting to take notice of fraudulent “foreclosure mills” practices. The same activity goes on in Louisiana. But with corruption being so well-thought-of here in Louisiana (as boasted about on Capitol Hill at the impeachment trial of federal Judge Thomas Porteous, it’s the “Louisiana way”), and with our various State Attorney Generals’ decades of disregard for abhorrent Debt Collection practices, Louisiana firms like those mentioned below have thrived with fraudulent and deceptively foreclosures and repossessions.
Mr. Ahmadinejad, are the USA days numbered?
By Von Helman
The US government is reaching the pinnacle of their hypocrisy, especially when they use rhetoric regarding the military options still being on the table in regards to Iran’s failure to comply with their nuclear program. As if that US threat had any real validity.
The US then goes on the attack condemning Ahmadinejad when he suggested the “undertaker” bury that same governing board that’s making those veiled threats against Iran and its people, and the US is then outraged at such comments. Seems a double standard on the part of the USA, but what can you expect from the US Government, especially when such hypocrisy comes so regularly from Washington DC that it’s become the mainstay.
A Third Party: The Choice for the African-American Masses
Written by Frederick Alexander Meade
In the many months since the 2008 presidential election, an increasing number of those within the African-American community have begun to question whether the electing of the United States first African-American President, Barack Obama, has functioned to yield any significant results in regard to remedying the abject condition of many of the group's members.
Expressions of discontent have emerged from prominent members of the African-American family, as long time Civil Rights activist Dorothy Wright Tillman as well as Glen Ford, editor of Black Agenda Report; have openly charged that the Obama Administration has been neglectful in substantively addressing the dire economic state of Black America.
Similar echoes have also long surfaced from those within the Congressional Black Caucus. Both Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), have publicly, criticized the White House for its perceived inattention to the egregious plight of many of the citizens existing in the largely African-American Districts these and other officials represent.
WE ARE THE ONES WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Allen L Roland
We can no longer blame our leaders, starting with President Obama, for betraying our trust and demand for change ~ for the time has come for Americans to realize that WE are the ones we have been waiting for.
In 2008, I was one of the millions of Americans who voted for change. I felt Barack Obama represented a needed change from the blatant deception and lies of the Cheney/Bush administration.
I was one the millions of Americans who celebrated Barack Obama's victory and the chance for a new people oriented direction in Washington ~ based on integrity, transparency and honesty.
Little did I realize that a great river was beginning to flow.
I am now one of the millions of Americans who feel let down, if not betrayed, by President Obama and his promises of a new transparency in government, a withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, the closing of guantanamo, the end of torture and renditions, the end of illegal spying of American citizens as well as the prosecution of those who betrayed our constitution.
