PA security agency harasses non-conformist Journalist
Khalid Amayreh
This is not the first time I'm subjected to harassment and abuse at the hands of Palestinian Authority (PA) security operatives. On several occasions, I had been abused, imprisoned and humiliated by these agencies. In one episode in 2009, I was made to sleep in a rancid cell after reporting that PA police were preventing and brutally suppressing demonstrations against Israel in protest against Israel 's 2008-09 genocidal blitzkrieg against the Gaza Strip.
I thought the Arab Spring would convince the PA security apparatus to abandon or at least alleviate their police-state tactics against dissent and show more respect for human rights and civil liberties. However, it seems that that the PA, as far as its treatment of its people, remains largely unchanged. Old habits die hard, after all.
The Zionization of American politics and how it could be terminated
By Alan Hart
The first headline I thought of for this article was The Zionization of American democracy and how it could be terminated, but then I said to myself: “Don’t be silly, Alan, there’s no democracy in the ‘Land of the Free.’”
Leaving aside the fact that any American can now be arrested and detained without due process, there’s no mystery about why.
There’s much more to democracy than voting every few years for the lesser of two or three evils or in America’s case naked political whores (with the exception among the would-be Republican presidents of Ron Paul).
Are Multinational Corporations Psychopathic?
by Gary G. Kohls, MD
The infamous decision of the NeoConservative, pro-corporate, anti-democratic members of the Supreme Court in their 2010 “Citizens United” decision granted personhood to corporations. The ruling, which allows unlimited and anonymous funding of political campaigns by inanimate paper corporations, has further emboldened the already too-powerful, greedy and easily corruptible multinationals and their conservative political lapdogs to tighten control, via their campaign contributions (aka “investments or bribes”), over both centrist and right-wing lawmakers and Republican governors in both state and national legislatures. It is estimated that big corporations, through their lavish use of campaign money bribery, control the vast majority of our “elected” national leaders, both Republican and Democrat.
When is a terrorist not a terrorist? & War with Iran or not?
By Alan Hart
The longer and complete form of the first question in the headline is - When is a terrorist not a terrorist in the eyes of the Obama administration (not to mention all of its predecessors) and the governments of the Western world?
Answer: When he or she is an Israeli Mossad agent or asset.
In the case of the assassination of Iranian scientists, the Mossad’s assets are almost certainly members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) also known as The Peoples’ Mujahedin of Iran, which is committed to overthrowing the regime of the ruling mullahs. Many of its activists are based in Iraqi Kurdistan where Mossad has a substantial presence. It does the training there, selects the targets in Iran and provides the bombs and other weapons, and MKO members do the actual killing.
THE ZIONIST CARICATURE
By Gilad Atzmon
Could it be that Zionist-caricature Alan Dershowitz has resorted to comedy as he desperately tries to win his battle against me and my book? What else could explain this intellectually retarded Zionist mouthpiece’s repetition of the same old lies? A few years ago Norman Finkelstein established that Dershowitz is a plagiarist, but now Dershowitz extends this infamous title - Now, he’s actually plagiarising his own phantasmic fibs!
Just a week before Hanukah, fancying himself as a bit of a music critic, Dershowitz described me as an ‘obscure saxophonist’. This was amusing enough, but yesterday Dershowitz elaborated on his notion of ‘obscurity’. In an embarrassingly unimaginative and vindictive article he called Chicago University Professor of Philosophy Brian Leiter a “relatively obscure professor of jurisprudence”. For a native English speaker (and a Harvard Professor) Dershowitz sure has a limited English vocabulary.
21st century racism
Mary Shaw
As I write this on the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I reflect on King's vision of a world in which our children "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
And it saddens me to see how - despite having our first African-American president living in the White House - racism still abounds.
Racism against African Americans is not as blatantly obvious as it was during the Jim Crow era. The GOP even had a black RNC chairman from 2009 to 2011, and a recent but brief campaign by an African-American presidential hopeful. But that's like denying racism by saying "some of my best friends are..."
Is the Internet the Fulfillment of Biblical Prophecy?
By Melanie Lamport
The Bible says knowledge shall increase at the end of the days.
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. (Daniel 12:4 King James Version)
Perhaps the greatest evidence for the rapid growth of information is the Internet and the cell phone.
- There are approximately 2 billion Internet users today (Source: Internet World Stats)
- There are over 232 million websites related to a variety of content.
- There are currently 4.6 billion cell phone users worldwide. (Source: CBS, Click here to read why)
Mankind, thanks to the Internet, is suffering from Information Overload.
Wordpress, Firefox and Google support the “law of free supply and demand:” When the supply of bandwidth is virtually free, it creates ubiquitous demand.
Subsequent verses in the Book of Daniel make it clear that God doesn’t even want anyone reading the last chapter of the Book of Daniel lest they start to “understand.”
And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end-time. Many will be purged, purified and refined; but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. 12:9-12
New Revised vs. King James
Every translation of the Bible except The New Revised Standard Edition (NRSV) reflects the sentiment of “King James:” That God is worried about “too much knowledge.”
The NRSV edition, the only Bible translation that is widely ecumenical, is worried about “too much evil:”
But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil shall increase.
So according to God, if the book isn’t sealed up, a bunch of people will be running around increasing either “knowledge” or “evil.”
You’ve probably already figured out what’s wrong with the Biblical explanation. Information doesn’t equal knowledge.
Keeping Knowledge from the Masses
What if the Internet is an ingenious and nefarious tactic to keep knowledge from the masses?
Did you know that the 1%ers have a responsibility to share knowledge with the masses?
The 1%ers believe that the “true knowledge” of the universe belongs to them (the Economic Elite of the World), but they are bound by the Rosicrucian Creed: “The elite have a responsibility to share the true knowledge with the masses.” [1]
The Internet is a way for the Economic Elite to satisfy the Rosicrucian Creed and still keep us in the dark.
Just another Palestinian year
By Khaled Amayreh
Israeli settlement expansion continued to annul any chances of peace, while the 2011 Arab Spring buoyed Palestinian hopes, at least for a while, writes Khaled Amayreh in Ramallah
Like in previous years, 2011 was more or less another "normal" year for the Palestinians as Israel, which is ruled by a racist coalition of right wing and religious parties, continued to narrow Palestinian horizons, effectively putting an end to any realistic hopes for establishing a viable and territorially contiguous Palestinian state on the West Bank.
Psychologically, most Palestinians were in a slightly better mood in 2011 due to the outbreak of the Arab Spring, which many Palestinians view as a promising development of strategic proportions and a potentially important asset for the Palestinian cause.
American Intransigence and Pakistani Deception: the War on Terrorism
By Mahboob A. Khawaja, Ph.D.
When George Bush called General Musharaf at midnight a day after the 9/11 attacks, he spelled out the doctrine - “either you are with us or against us.” The Pakistani self-appointed President and military dictator had no sense of the time and history to THINK what scenario he was tackling to act or react. As most dictators do, they align themselves with any possibility to reinforce their self- interest and self- survival. This was the opportunity that Commander Bush enticed the four stars Pakistani General and dictator to accept and act right away.
The Inauguration Of Police State USA 1962
By Melanie Lamport
“The Best Way To Control The Opposition Is To Lead It Ourselves,” Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Global Research, January 1, 2012
“With minimal media debate, at a time when Americans were celebrating the New Year with their loved ones, the “National Defense Authorization Act " H.R. 1540 was signed into law by President Barack Obama. The actual signing took place in Hawaii on the 31st of December.
According to Obama's "signing statement", the threat of Al Qaeda to the Security of the Homeland constitutes a justification for repealing fundamental rights and freedoms, with a stroke of the pen.”
Globalresearch.ca is the home to F. W. Engdahl, a respected scholar, who approaches the New World Order conspiracy from calm reasoned perspective: As opposed to Alex Jones at Inforwars.com who rants and raves about the Globalists: Neither of them have any real action plan. If you are not a familiar with the works of F.W. Engdahl and the reality of a New World Order conspiracy, visit Michel Chossudovsky’s [CIA controlled] Globalresearch.ca website. [1]
According to Chossudovsky:
“The passage of NDAA is intimately related to Washington's global military agenda. The military pursuit of Worldwide hegemony also requires the "Militarization of the Homeland", namely the demise of the American Republic.”
“To say that January 1st 2012 is "A Sad Day for America" is a gross understatement.”
“The signing of NDAA (HR 1540) into law is tantamount to the militarization of law enforcement, the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act and the Inauguration in 2012 of Police State USA.”
