WWII was a massive disaster for Humanity! Check out: http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/statistics.htm It also introduced the “Nuclear Age.” Carl G. Jung warned in “The Undiscovered Self: “The evil that dwells within man is of gigantic proportions...If...the unconscious...puts a weapon in your hands, (a Hydrogen Bomb), it is aiming at some kind of violence...Fear of evil which one does not see in one’s own bosom but always in somebody else’s checks reason every time, although everyone knows that the use of these weapons [of Mass Destruction] means the certain end of our present human world.”
This video is dedicated to the memory of Harry C. Agro, U.S. Navy, Seaman First Class, who was one of Baltimore’s finest sons. He was a POW of the Japanese for close to three years during WWII. Go to: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/5060

On Thursday afternoon, Dec. 3, 2009, advocates for social justice held a rally in front of the White House. The event was sponsored by the “Bail Out the People Movement,” a national organization, see: http://www.bailoutpeople.org/ One of the speakers was the Rev. Graylan Hagler, a longtime fighter for peace and justice. He said: “Let’s build a world filled with justice...We need to push and shove to make people do what is right...If we can reward the banks, then we can surely reward the workers in this country.” Rev. Hagler strongly objected to President Barack Obama’s plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan. He added that everyone is entitled to the “dignity of a job with a future...We need a gigantic jobs program once again in this country that puts everyone to work.” For background on Rev. Hagler, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graylan_Hagler

The politicians are not in Washington to serve their country, they became politicians in order to line their pockets. They serve the people who are looting America into collapse, the military industrial bankster gang who used 9-11 to enslave America, and who now wage war after war, using America like a club to beat and rob smaller countries of their resources. Look at who benefited from 9-11, follow the money and you will find the perpetrators: The international privately owned Federal Reserve banking system- 47 trillion dollars, looted from the national treasury, since 9-11, the military industrial complex approximately- three trillion dollars for a pack of wars based on lies about 9-11, and Israel, who’s enemies America now attacks because of 9-11.

Israeli Settler Run Over A Wounded Palestinian...Watch. This is a 'NORMAL' act that zionist occupiers do to Palestinians. What would happen to such a criminal in your country?? In the zionist entity he's free and at home!! Oh Yes, because they do not consider Palestinians as human beings, actually they do not consider non-Jews (white) as humans at all and they were given a green light to kill them.

On the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2009, antiwar activists gathered in a light rain, at the War Memorial Building, in Baltimore, MD, just opposite the City Hall Plaza. The purpose of the demonstration was to protest President Barack Obama’s LBJ-Vietnam-War-like decision to escalate the conflict in Afghanistan. He has ordered 30,000 more U.S. troops to that country, which is well known as a “graveyard of imperial powers.” I talked with Jim Baldridge, who is with the “Veterans for Peace” and the “Vietnam Veterans Against the War.” He spoke out strongly against Obama’s latest war-related conduct. Activists from “The Pledge of Resistance,” “Baltimore United for Peace and Justice,” and the “ANSWER Coalition” were at the rally.
