Rebel Assassins Terrorizing Libyans
by Stephen Lendman
In his new article headlined, "9/11 After A Decade: Have We Learned Anything?" Paul Craig Roberts said:
"Today Americans are unsafe, not because of terrorists and domestic extremists, but because they have lost their civil liberties and no protection from unaccountable government power."
So have millions under occupation and/or attack by US/NATO forces, terrorizing them in the name of "democracy" to "set them free."

lain that in 1987, Law Professor Francis Boyle was Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) legal advisor in drafting its 1988 Declaration of Independence.
In the late 1980s, he was asked, "Why should the PLO crate an independent state?" He responded, saying:
If you don't, "you will forfeit the moral right to lead your people."
Libya: Keep the Freedom Flame Alive
by Stephen Lendman
Trapped for days in Tripoli's Rixos Hotel, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) arranged for the release of over 30 foreign journalists yesterday.
They're now at the Corinthia Hotel, awaiting a boat for transport to Malta, then home via Europe that can't arrive until fighting subsides. Given the chaos and violence, it could be a while.
NATO's Libya War: A Nuremberg Level Crime
by Stephen Lendman
The US/UK/French-led war on Libya will be remembered as one of history's greatest crimes. It violates the letter and spirit of international law and America's Constitution.
The Nuremberg Tribunal's Chief Justice Robert Jackson (a US Supreme Court Justice) called Nazi war crimes "the supreme international crime against peace."
His November 21, 1945 opening remarks said:
"The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated."
Palestine: arduous odyssey of statehood
By Dr. Ismail Salami and Kourosh Ziabari
The plight of the Palestinian people is no closed book to anyone in the world; a subjugated nation which has been unjustifiably subjected to discrimination and violence for the past 6 decades.
Even the close allies of Israel and those who support the continued occupation of Palestine admit in their privacy that the actions and policies of the Israeli regime are beyond the pale and run counter to the very principles of humanity and morality.
Everyday, the mass media run reports of several Palestinians being killed or injured by the Israeli forces. Hundreds of Palestinian children and women are incarcerated in Israeli jails and their dignity is flagrantly violated. The homes of the Palestinian citizens are demolished by huge bulldozers every day and Zionist settlements are constructed in their place.
Obama's Wars on Humanity
by Stephen Lendman
America's a poster child failed state, defined in a recent article as follows:
(1) An inability or unwillingness to protect its citizens from violence and other forms of harm.
(2) Its abrogation of rule of law standards.
(3) Its lawless belligerent pursuits.
Libya War: It Ain't Over Till It's Over
by Stephen Lendman
Mark Twain once called reports of his death greatly exaggerated. The same hold for Libyans, not ready to submit to NATO colonization, occupation, plunder and exploitation. Not at least without a fight.
The stakes are high - stay free or die socially, economically, politically, emotionally, and/or perhaps physically.
Washington-led NATO is a rogue killing machine plunderer. It comes, sees, slaughters, ravages, and pillages all its surveys.
Monsanto GM Corn in Peril: Beetle develops Bt-resistance
By Rady Ananda
Food Freedom
Nature herself may be the best opponent of genetically modified crops and pesticides. Not only plants, but insects are also developing resistance. The Western rootworm beetle – one of the most serious threats to corn – has developed resistance to Monsanto’s Bt-corn, and entire crops are being lost.
Farmers from several Midwest states began reporting root damage to corn that was specifically engineered with a toxin to kill the rootworm. Iowa State University entomologist Aaron Gassmann recently confirmed that the beetle, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, has developed resistance to the Bt protein, Cry3Bb1.
Our Ruling Class of Crazy--Be Afraid, Be VERY Afraid
Brennan Browne
There has always existed a peculiar niche of human beings within our political system who have seemingly defied the odds and risen to positions of incredible power and influence despite their obvious lack of common sense, basic intelligence and grasp of reality. These individuals were once a minority and provided--a then sane nation--with
the same dubious comic relief and/or horror that one must endure during family events with a loony relative that everyone dreads, but politely humors.
There have, to our great shame, been times in our history when we stood back and allowed the crazed relative free rein in attempting to drag us into their skewed world.
