America's War on Islam

September 16th, 2010

by Stephen Lendman

America prides itself on religious freedom, the Constitution's First Amendment stating:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

In fact, those rights are selectively enforced, and consistently denied at the whim of administrations, Congress and courts, including equal respect for all religions - more than ever post-9/11 under Bush and Obama, agents of privilege, not Constitutionally protected freedoms. A sad testimony to a rhetorical, not real democracy, Muslim Americans especially victimized, vilified, and persecuted for their faith, ethnicity, prominence, activism, and charity - innocent men and women bogusly called terrorists, used for political advantage.

More than any other ethnic/religious group, Western discourse especially wrongs and unfairly portrays Muslim/Arabs stereotypically as culturally inferior, dirty, lecherous, untrustworthy, religiously fanatical, and violent.

THE HISTORY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ARMENIAN AND TURKISH THEATERS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

September 16th, 2010

by Anna Aleksanyan

On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Theater

Historic evidence shows the establishment and the first 50 years of the development of the Turkish theater are strongly connected with the activity of Ottoman Armenians. The proof is that Armenians and Greeks were the first to bring any innovations from Europe to the Ottoman Empire. The 1850s are considered for Ottoman Armenians as the period of cultural revival. Armenian schools, publishing and media, sciences and literatures all experienced an awakening following the innovation and modernization in the important centers of the Armenian culture, such as Constantinople and Smyrna.

The GOP 'Scorched Earth' Policy

September 16th, 2010

by Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

The American Democratic party, the party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, was a force to be reckoned with. Most often allied with labor, Democrats --not Republicans --presided over the hard-won triumph over the Great Depression. It was Democrats, not Republicans, who later presided over a thriving economy, an egalitarian economy in the late 40s and much of the 50s. It was the Democratic regimes of FDR and Harry Truman that were the most egalitarian in U.S. History.

This prosperity continued through the JFK years. Not even Nixon could undo the good that had been done. That job was left to Ronald Reagan whose infamous, inequitable tax cut of 1982 breached the wall. Only the upper quintile benefited from Reaganomics of which the infamous tax cut of 1982 was the centerpiece. Only the upper 1 percent have benefited.

Does the Palestinian Diaspora Care Enough To Become Engaged?

September 16th, 2010

By Alan Hart

The real history of the making and sustaining of the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel invites the conclusion that the Arab regimes - more by default than design in my view - betrayed the Palestinians. The question this article addresses is: Will future historians conclude that the Palestinian diaspora betrayed its occupied and oppressed brothers and sisters?

There’s no mystery about the Arab (regime) betrayal. When the Palestine file was closed by Israel’s 1948 victory on the battlefield and the armistice agreements, the divided and impotent Arab regimes secretly shared the same hope as the Zionists and the major powers. It was that the file would remain closed for ever. The Palestinians were supposed to accept their lot as the sacrificial lamb on the altar of political expediency.

The questions of 9/11 are still unanswered

September 15th, 2010

Kourosh Ziabari

It's not unjustifiable or irrational to argue that the 9/11 attacks were designed and intended to rescue Israel from a political dissolution which was seen by many thinkers as its ultimate destiny, and to promote the cordial coalition of Bush and Bin Laden families. It's no wonder that 9 years after the attacks on New York's Twin Towers and Pentagon, Osama Bin Laden, who is introduced as an Islamic fundamentalist and terrorist that masterminded and directed the 9/11 attacks, hasn't been arrested or killed yet.

For those who are familiar with the world of journalism, it's comprehensible that Osama Bin Laden was simply a name which should have been put forward to become the target of ad hominem attacks by the mainstream media of the Bilderberg Group to appease the pain of Americans who couldn't digest the tragic loss of life in a chain of suicidal attacks which were carried out by the agents of a political entity which has so far succeeded in surviving thanks to the ignorance of taxpayers who don't know where their taxes go.

NATO's Secret Armies

September 15th, 2010

by Stephen Lendman

In his book, "NATO's Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe," Daniele Ganser described their clandestine Cold War operations, run by European secret services, collaborating with NATO, the CIA and Britain's MI6 and Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) against a possible Soviet invasion, internal communist takeovers, or others on the political left gaining power.

The network included France, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, Luxemburg, as well as politically neutral European countries - Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland.

911, Power Elite, and Al-Qaeda

September 15th, 2010

By Dr. Elias Akleh

The terrorist attack of 911 had been used to launch WWIII called “Global war on terror”. The American administration had enlisted world political bodies such as UN, EU, and NATO to wage wars in different kinds of shapes and intensity against other countries; Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Iran.

This global war on terror had been deliberately manipulated to take the shapes of underlying war against Islamic extremism, war against Islam, clash of civilizations, and Judeo-Christianity against Islam. This conflict had been carefully planned and executed. It is only one link in the chain of perpetual wars along the history of mankind.

Man went to war against his brother to steal his property and his wealth. Unfortunately, war is a dangerous business and many men were killed rather than accumulating wealth. A group of people found a better and safer way of making their fortune. They manufactured weapons and sold them to desperate countries, which would pay large sums of money for such weapons to defend themselves. To continue their flourishing business those weapon manufacturers need to create conflict and enmity between nations. False flag terror attacks have been the most effective methods of creating such conflicts.

The George W. Bush Memoir: Now Here's a Book I might Consider Burning

September 15th, 2010

by Keith Johnson

Admirers of George W. Bush will soon have an opportunity to get inside the head of their dearly beloved neo-conservative icon. His much-hyped memoir, ‘Decision Points’ is due out in bookstores on November 9th.

We’re told that ‘The Decider’ has, “spent almost every day” writing what his publishing house calls, “a strikingly personal and candid account revealing how and why he made the defining decisions in his consequential presidency and personal life.”

Oh—the romantic visions this must conjure up in the minds of so many adoring fans. Can’t you just imagine all of those sleepless nights Ol’Dubyah must have spent burning the midnight oil? I can just see him now…instructing his house staff that, “I must not be disturbed” before locking the doors to his study and sinking into a big leather chair. There he sits, alone and reflective, preferring to log his thoughts on paper instead of using a computer because—after all—he’s an old fashioned kind of guy. Occasionally he will rise from his desk to step out onto the terrace. There…he breathes in the cool night air and gazes up at the stars. He asks the good Lord to help him find the strength to confront his demons, and the courage to share with his fellow countrymen just how often he struggled with doubts before being forced to make tough and painful decisions.Blah…blah…blah…

Cold War Origins of the CIA Holocaust

September 15th, 2010

By Len Hart, The Existentialist Cowboy

A new book by James W. Douglass [JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters] addresses an "an evil whose depth and deceit seemed to go beyond the capacity of words to describe." A few events, many of them very recent, qualify to be so described. The unspeakable 'evil' in this case is the assassination of JFK, in fact, a cold-blooded murder in the streets.

That it was a 'President' so ignominiously gunned-down is in itself appalling, unspeakable but that it was a President who held out our best hopes to survive as a Democratic, free nation makes it all the more tragic in retrospect.

Don't Vote for Your Future Oppressors

September 15th, 2010

Gary Kohls


"Who should freedom-loving people vote for?"

There are two important national elections coming up in the next two years and the corporate-controlled mainstream media (MSM) is trying to orchestrate another series of “too-close-to-call” (TCTC) “cliff-hanger” elections. In the heat of the campaigns, we voters must be careful lest we blindly allow our future oppressors to win.

There are many dangerous stealth candidates who are beholden to hidden, powerful, anti- democracy groups, think tanks and wealthy individuals, all of whom want to continue their behind the scenes control of government. Such entities are called plutocrats (“the ruling class of rich people”) and they already have total control over a large number of members of Congress, candidates for Congress and Supreme Court justices. Many of these “lapdogs for plutocrats” do not share the interests of average middle or lower class citizens. These candidates and their paymasters are found in every political party (except perhaps for the Green Party and some socialist parties) although it is worth noting that the Democratic Party does still have a number of altruists in its ranks who have not yet lost their souls to the devil.
