Obama speaks at the UN... Goodbye to peace

September 24th, 2010

By Alan Hart

On marks out of ten for his speech to the UN on the subject of ending the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel, I’d give President Obama minus five.

Earlier this month (on 4 September) I wrote a piece with the headline Obama has signalled his coming complete surrender to Zionism and its lobby. That surrender, it seems to me, is now effectively a fait accompli.

“After 60 years in the community of nations, Israel’s existence must not be a subject for debate,” Obama proclaimed. “It should be clear to all that efforts to chip away at Israel’s legitimacy will only be met by the unshakeable opposition of the United States.”

Leaving aside the matter of whether Zionism’s monster child is legitimate or not (I say it’s not), only a complete idiot would deny that Israel exists. The question is - WHICH Israel must not have its existence debated? Israel inside its borders as they were on the eve of the 1967 war or the greater Israel of today? That’s not a question Obama is prepared to ask let alone answer.

The Constitution is just a worthless piece of paper

September 24th, 2010

Von Helman

The parchment paper with ink forming those ever important words which define citizens rights and freedoms that sits in the protected glass chamber in the Smithsonian Museum, and which was the cornerstone to the newly create USA government back in 1700s, is however today only a piece of worthless paper.

As harsh at the truth may sound before I am lynched as a treasonous traitor by patriots dressed up in period costumes carrying tea cups let me at least try to explain.

I look back at the native Indians who lived off the land and had their own communities and respected nature and the natural law of things. Did they have a constitution telling them they were free or that they had rights, no they instinctively knew their place in the world and respected it, as does any man who is truly free.

Back when the USA was formed that now famous group of wise old gray headed men wearing funny wigs wrote up the constitution as part of the founding cornerstones of the new American Government. What’s lost by most people today is that in reality the constitution wasn’t for the people but rather simply to remind the government of their limits and position among the people it governed and served.

Guilty As Charged: UN Report on Gaza Flotilla Massacre

September 24th, 2010

by Stephen Lendman

On September 22, Reuters headlined the news, saying:

"UN Experts Condemn Israel Attack on Gaza Flotilla"

It explained that the UN Human Rights Council's (HRC) "panel of international experts" concluded what was obvious on day one - that Israel's international water attack "was unlawful and resulted in violations of human rights and international humanitarian law...."

A one paragraph AP report said the same thing. America's leading paper, The New York Times (always pro-Israeli), published the above two accounts, not its own, ducking its responsibility to do in detail.

Circumcision

September 23rd, 2010

Deepak Sarkar

A baby boy arrives in the world months after conception
Taking parents through rollercosta of stress and tensions
Finally gets delivered as normal, sometimes through c-section -
Bringing smiles, cheers, and causes for celebrations!

But many parent’s joy fades with new tension!
Not from post delivery sickness or complications
Rather with mere thought of upcoming bloody horrification
From religious or medicated circumcision -
A non-therapeutic procedure that will hurt life long!

Can you dig it?

September 22nd, 2010

Michael Collins
Now what could this mean? TV crew stopped from taking samples from polluted Florida beach. Pat Gonzales, US Fish and Wildlife (to WEAR ABC 3 reporter taking a sample from polluted beach): "You can not come out here and do your own investigation if you're looking for oil product." WEAR ABC 3

Is the government protecting the sovereign state of BP? Is a pattern emerging?

It seems so. In addition to chasing off WEAR-ABC off the beach, federal officials discouraged scientists from taking samples in the Gulf, other federal officials confiscated samples gathered by scientists at LSU, and state officials refused to test fish for pollution claiming they'd seen no oil in the area in question. Who benefits?

Kaplan University Ripping Off Poor Students for Profit

September 22nd, 2010

by Stephen Lendman

Like the old "Let's Fall in Love" lyrics: Bankers do it. Insurers do it. Even (privatized) universities with poor students do it. They steal and get away with it, a Danny Weil August 18 Daily Censored article titled, "Whistleblower Exposes How Kaplan University Cheats Low-Income Minority students and the Washington Post (parent company) Benefits." More on it below.

Kaplan calls itself "an institution of higher learning dedicated to providing innovative undergraduate, graduate, and continuing professional education. Our programs foster student learning with opportunities to launch, enhance, or change careers in today's diverse global society. The University is committed to general education, a student-centered service and approach, and applied scholarship in a practical (online or campus) environment."

BDS: Boycotting Apartheid

September 22nd, 2010

Eric Walberg

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign moves ahead in Washington, California, British Columbia, Harvard and Brown Universities, and the Netherlands.

In July, in Rachel Corrie’s hometown of Olympia, Washington state, the popular Food Co-op announced that no Israeli products would be sold at its two grocery stores. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a principal endorser of this new Israel Divestment Campaign, issued a statement endorsing the boycott. “The Olympia Food Co-op has joined a growing worldwide movement on the part of citizens and the private sector to support by non-violent tangible acts the Palestinian struggle for justice and self-determination.”

In a surprise move in August, Harvard University divested itself of all its Israel investments, almost $40m worth of shares, including Pharmaceutical Industries, NICE Systems, Check Point Software Technologies, Cellcom Israel and Partner Communications. Initially, Harvard gave no explanation for its actions to the SEC. John Longbrake, spokesman for Harvard, maintained that Harvard has not divested from Israel, that these changes were routine and did not represent a change in policy. But was Harvard in fact caving under BDS calls and trying to do so as quietly as possible to avoid a Zionist backlash? In the past, Harvard has divested from companies for purely political reasons, but they did so publicly. For instance, five years ago, Harvard divested from PetroChina in order to protest China’s actions in Sudan.

Laudable Features of the Cuban Revolution

September 22nd, 2010

by Husayn Al-Kurdi

A small island of spirited people, descended from Blacks, Spaniards and Red Indians for the most part and in varying mixtures, has managed to hold out and develop a socialist society with an anti-Imperialist orientation under the very noses of the mightiest empire in known history, a scant ninety miles from its borders. This small island nation has held out against punishing sanctions, invasion and sabotage on the part of the mighty power's hirelings. Its now-elderly recognized leader has survived numerous assassination attempts. Its people proudly and defiantly tell the Superpower to go peddle its merchandise and its inhuman system elsewhere. The island is festooned with statues, murals, memorials and other testaments to its resilient ability to maintain a dignified, compassionate society in spite of the constant assault intended to get it to buckle down to its knees and give in to its historical tormentors.
