October is Non-GMO Month: 10-10-10 is Non-GMO Day
By Rady Ananda
Food Freedom
Okay, here's your chance, with a new way for you to know that your food does not contain genetically modified organisms. The Non-GMO Project, a collection of top suppliers and advocates in the organic industry, and the only no-GMO certifier in North America, has kicked off a GM-free month.
Economic Woes, a Consequence of Free Trade
By Deanna Spingola
The abolition of nationalism and borders under the guise of the free trade has been the ultimate Illuminati objective since the late 1700s, notably illustrated by Aaron H. Palmer who had a law office on Wall Street in the first half of the 19th century. He catered to individuals interested in transnational business and managed their commerce and paperwork with the European bankers who advocated trade. By February 1837 when the bankers and politicians shrunk the U.S. credit market, Palmer already had a working relationship with N M Rothschild & Sons, located in the City of London. Palmer supplied the Rothschilds with an account of all the financial failures, as many as 280, in the months just before the final crash. 1
The products of the labor of its citizens determine a nation's prosperity. A brisk manufacturing base is essential, augmented by the service industry. Nationalists believe in reasonable tariffs that protect the nation's industry. Free trade is detrimental to a nation's wealth. So-called “conservatives,” those Republican “nationalists” who claim to put the U.S. first have promoted and participated, along with the Democrats, in the legislation of all of the nation's free trade agreements. One cannot claim to cherish both sovereignty and accept free trade, through “multinational trade organizations and global financial conglomerates.” Marx, a mouthpiece minion for the elite, advocated both the income tax and free trade. He said of free trade, "it breaks up old nationalities" and eliminates the "bourgeoisie" (small businessmen). 2 Free trade functions to equalize the masses while elevating the elite and their acquiescent political devotees.
Israel in America: Obama's dance of death
Eric Walberg
What are we to make of the latest changes in Obama's entourage?
Obama has just lost his close friend and chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is making the unusual transition from national to municipal politics. He is also losing his closest adviser David Axelrod (pragmatist Emanuel described their difference as prose versus poetry) and his mentor and director of the National Economic Council Larry Summers.
Why are Obama's three closest advisers -- all Jewish -- leaving? There is no pat answer. Axelrod is no friend of Summers, having suggested in an email the latter would be more comfortable in the “cafeteria at Goldman Sachs”. He claims he is homesick. Obama's Keynesianism probably finally got to Summers, who prefers tax cuts. Emanuel, a former congressman, a talented ballet dancer, son of an Irgun terrorist, and an Israeli soldier during the first Gulf war against Iraq, leads us to the real answer.
Wrecking the American Dream
by Stephen Lendman
Long planned, the current economic storm erupted violently in late 2007. It wasn't by accident. It was engineered years back, so financial racketeers could profit from wrecking global economies and destroying their middle class, including America's.
On February 1, 2009, former high-level Wall Street and government insider, Catherine Austin Fitts, explained it an article headlined, "Financial Coup d'Etat," saying:
A global financial cabal "engineered a fraudulent housing and debt bubble; illegally shifted vast amounts of capital out of the US; and used 'privatization' as a form of piracy - a pretext to move government assets to private investors at below-market prices and then shift private liabilities back to government at no cost to the private liability holder....Clearly, there was a global financial coup d'etat underway," its magnitude overwhelming and incomprehensible to most people, as planned.
This is Keith Dayton's Fatah's fiefdom
by Khalid Amayreh
The United States and to a lesser extent Europe never stop praising the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA) regime. Indeed, upon hearing the never-ending commendations of the Ramallah Junta, one would think that "the police-state without a state" is a paragon of good governance, democracy and all that is good.
One would also think that there is an active and exemplary justice system that respects human rights and civil liberties, a system that doesn't discriminate against citizens on the basis of creed, sex and political orientation.
However, the shocking truth is that the Ramallah regime is none of that. It is rather a police state apparatus whose main function is mainly confined to persecuting and tormenting Palestinian citizens deemed "non-conformist." And as we all understand, this repression is done on Israel's behalf and in order to obtain a certificate of good conduct from the evil occupiers.
AN ARMY TOO NEAR THE EDGE
By Gordon Duff
"THE SUICIDE BLUES ARE BREAKIN' UP THAT OLE GAME O' MINE"
They always march off to war, fanfare, flags, speeches, parades. There's always an enemy, an evildoer, torpedo boats in the Tonkin Gulf or mystery airplanes and dissolving buildings in Manhattan. The "armchair pundits" and "Monday morning quarterbacks" all assure is the same thing, it will be over in weeks, "the boys will be back for Christmas." This time, Christmas 2001 is looking like "Christmas 2012" or later, maybe never.
Just as there weren't any North Vietnamese attacking the American fleet in the South China Sea, no weapons of mass destruction showed in in Iraq, no "Osama in Laden" in Afghanistan with his "hijacker training academies" the "war lies" of the past are, not just repeated, but enhanced and, if anything, more blatant than ever before. It has taken awhile, several years into our current debacle, but mostly, what our troops have found is lies, opium fields, lots of angry people and the propaganda and manipulation flowing in from the Pentagon sounding increasingly desperate and hollow.
In Defense of Christian Nonviolence – The Peace Plan Of God
by Gary G. Kohls, M.D.
Pastor Lon Weaver wrote a fine editorial, titled “Christian history has its own sins” in a recent Sunday edition of the Duluth News-Tribune. In the essay he lamented the fact that there was so much unfair, blanket demonizing of Muslims from self-righteous Christians who conveniently ignored the multitude of examples of horrific, un-Christ-like, “holy homicide” that their co-religionists from past and recent history had perpetrated.
Reverend Weaver’s editorial briefly mentioned the bloody Christian Crusades, a series of nine irrational, suicidal military campaigns against Islam that started in 1095.
A CONVERSATION WITH ROBERT WYATT ABOUT CULTURAL RESISTANCE
By Gilad Atzmon
From River to Pond
The legendary British music icon Robert Wyatt is a big supporter of Palestine. A few days ago he came down to London to promote For the Ghosts Within (Wyatt/ Stephen/Atzmon, Domino Records), a new album we produced together with violinist Ros Stephen. We had a lively chat about Palestine, music, cultural resistance and about the importance of the coming Jazza Festival.
For Robert Wyatt, music is where “people are introduced to each other”. “People were playing each other’s music long before they were mixing politically or socially” he says. Musicians can anticipate change. “In the deep south, white kids were listening to Black radio stations and Black kids listened to Country Music, long before these kids could share space or even meet”. Music has this unique capacity to cross the divide, to bring people together, to introduce harmony and yet, for some reason, not many musicians are brave enough to jump into the deep water. Not many musicians celebrate their ability to bring change about.
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.
Headline Story of Oct. 5, 1986 and what's happened since
eileen fleming
Excerpted from BEYOND NUCLEAR: Mordechai Vanunu's FREEDOM of SPEECH Trail and My life as a Muckraker
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?”
