Blood for Bread, The role of US trained Palestinian security forces
By SATTAR KASSEM
Obama has come, Obama has gone and the theme is still the same: blood for bread is the magic solution for the Palestinian problem. You Palestinians must abide by the necessities of Israeli security the way Israel sees fit, if you want to sustain a shaky salary by the end of the month. The Palestinian must arrest his/her fellow Palestinian, or kill him/her for the bare subsistence salary to flow. Kill your Palestinian fellow brother or sister and be sure of receiving a loaf of bread next day.
The American policy toward the Palestinians is one of the most ruthless and merciless in the history of mankind. It recruits Palestinians, train them, equip them with lethal instruments through the stooge Arab regimes so as to fight those Palestinians who seek to regain their own liberty and liberate their occupied land. The US claims to be the champion of human rights and freedom at the very moment it carries mass massacres and pogroms directly or indirectly in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Waiving the Rules for Old Glory
by Walter Brasch
Within a month of 9/11, millions of Americans bought American flags. Small flags they flew from their cars, trucks, and bicycles. Medium-sized flags they planted in their front yards, put onto their home windows, and flew from recently-installed metal poles on doors and porches. Large flags they flew in front of their businesses.
In our tragedy and grief we stuck together, the flag a symbol of our unity and patriotism.
It wasn't long until commercialism in the guise of patriotism dominated the American unity. In newspaper and magazine ads, in television campaigns, whether for cars or political races, we saw the message and an image of the flag. In myriad direct mail flyers, we first saw the flag and a patriotic call—and then an advertising pitch that each of us had an inviolate right to buy whatever the advertiser was pushing. General Motors even claimed that we could "get America rolling" again by buying cars.
“In the name of God, go!”
Stuart Littlewood
But discredited Brown clings to power by his finger-nails
What does it take for Britain's Zionist prime minister, Gordon Brown, to get the message? Having been deeply humiliated in the Euro elections and local government elections, he hangs on by his finger-nails. He simply will not do the decent thing and stand down.
The verdict of the people was clear enough. They've had enough of Brown and his ghastly crew. Oliver Cromwell said it for us, when dismissing Parliament back in 1653, with an elegance that’s sadly lacking today: “Ye sordid prostitutes... you have sat here too long for the good you do. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!”
But the charmless Brown refuses the revolver on the silver tray. He will not do us the courtesy of retiring to the library and blowing his brains out.
The USS Liberty Saga as Told by a Survivor’s Son
by William Hughes
“More than 20 minutes before the fatal torpedo strike that killed 25 sailors, Israel’s chief air controller conclusively identified the ‘Liberty’ as an American ship.” - James Scott, Author
Warning! Reading James Scott’s book, “Attack on the Liberty: The Untold Story of Israel’s Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship,” will cause your blood pressure to rise! He’s the son of James Scott, an Ensign on the “Liberty,” who survived the dastardly assault by Israel. How the men of the “Liberty” were abandoned by their own government, then led by President Lyndon B. Johnson, (LBJ), makes for a compelling read. It will also cause you to wonder: Whatever happened to our Republic?
Beyond The Soaring Rhetoric of Obama's Cairo Speech: A Toxic Innocence At Home
by Phil Rockstroh
"General Motors was driven into a ditch, declared totaled..."
Even as President Barrack Obama waxed eloquent in Cairo, Egypt, on the moral imperatives of the community of nations, public opinion polls released in the United States revealed that, by a substantial percentage, its citizens believe torture is an acceptable option for interrogation of suspects deemed terrorists by various US governmental agencies. In addition, other polls show a majority of the American public hold the opinion that the all American theme park of state torture, located at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, should remain open for business and continue to welcome guests from around the globe, taking them for the ride of their lives through the dark id of the American psyche.
Readying Americans for Dangerous, Mandatory Vaccinations
Stephen Lendman
At least three US federal laws should concern all Americans and suggest what may be coming - mandatory vaccinations for hyped, non-existant threats, like H1N1 (Swine Flu). Vaccines and drugs like Tamiflu endanger human health but are hugely profitable to drug company manufacturers.
The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (S. 15) became law on July 21, 2004 "to provide protections and countermeasures against chemical, radiological, or nuclear agents that may be used in a terrorist attack against the United States by giving the National Institutes of Health contracting flexibility, infrastructure improvements, and expediting the scientific peer review process, and streamlining the Food and Drug Administration approval process of countermeasures."
PETRAS: "START LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ALAN GARCÍA, THE BUTCHER OF THE AMAZON »
The American Sociologist, Prof. James Petras Interviewed over the phone on Radio Centenario CX36 (Uruguay) by José Luis Vázquez
« The working class, the jobless, underpaid women, ignored by the center left governments, don’t vote at all –neither for the Left nor the Right. They have been marginalized by the democratic process and are most significant reason why the governing Center Left now is being defeated. »
Petras: Good Morning Pepe, how are you?
J.L. Vázquez: I’m fine thanks and happy to be talking with you. -We went over today's issues and first of all, the European elections and the ones in Lebanon.
Petras: Yeah, these are pretty hot right now. -But they are very complex and also contradictory in some ways.
THE PLEA OF MOTHER EARTH - UNITE OR PERISH !
Allen L Roland
As our seas become laden with plastic trash and 75% of our fishing grounds are depleted ~ we must face the fact that we are rapidly depleting what Nature provides us and that our eco-system does not have borders. Our actions effect everything and we must unite and cooperate with each other and nature ~ or we will perish:
BIG BREAKTHROUGHS FOR SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE
By Kevin Zeese
Less than a month after 13 single payer advocates were arrested protesting the exclusion of single payer, it is at the table in both Houses, making progress while the multi-payer pro-insurance reform is faltering.
When we started our campaign one month ago to put single payer national health insurance on the table, we were ignored.
When we stood up and demanded that single payer be part of the debate, we were arrested.
Today, single payer is breaking through, while the multi-payer pro-health insurance reform is faltering.
