Shut Up! You’re Disturbing the Elite
by Keith Johnson
So many warnings, so many solutions, and so many people who couldn’t care less.
LONG AGO: A man named Noah (the conspiracy theorist of his time) warns his people that a great flood is fast approaching. His preparations for the event are largely dismissed as crazy, and he is constantly the subject of ridicule and mockery. Even as the heavy rains turn torrential; the people continue to laugh, eat, drink and dance…right up until the water level rises high enough to sweep them all away.
1912: As the RMS Titanic takes on water; word spreads among the passengers that they must prepare to abandon ship. Many refuse to board lifeboats because they are convinced that the vessel cannot sink. Some stay in the lounges to socialize while others return to their cabins and fall fast asleep. The lifeboats aboard the Titanic have the capacity to accommodate 2/3 of the passengers, but many of them are sent away nearly empty because some people refuse to take the crisis seriously.
Aafia Siddiqui Sentenced: A Grievous Miscarriage of Justice
by Stephen Lendman
On September 23 in federal court, US District Court Judge Richard Berman sentenced political prisoner Aafia Siddiqui to 86 years in prison. Outrage most accurately expresses this gross miscarriage of justice, compounding what she's already endured following her March 30, 2003 abduction, imprisonment, torture, prosecution, and conviction on bogus charges.
Earlier articles explained her case in detail, accessed through the following links:

In modern times, she's one of American depravity's most aggrieved victims, now given a virtual life sentence for a crime she didn't and couldn't have committed, explained in the above articles.
Is peace really possible in Palestine?
Salim Nazzal
The American sponsored negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis has not so far generated any serious hope for Palestinians looking forward to ridding themselves of the last occupation in history. The reason for this pessimism is that Palestinians have lost hope after endless negotiations which began in Madrid 1990 and nothing of these negotiations indicated a happy ending of the Zionist occupation. Even while negotiations were going on Israel has continued its illegal settlement activities in which they steal more Palestinian land and Palestinian water sources. This policy is clearly aiming at the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes.
Obama speaks at the UN... Goodbye to peace
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
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
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.
Killing Palestinians with Impunity
by Stephen Lendman
With peace talks underway in Washington; Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt; Jerusalem; then New York, Israel, almost daily, commits crimes of war and against humanity. Some of the latest include:
-- air strikes against Gaza, killing two Palestinian civilians in another one;
-- peaceful protesters attacked in Gaza and the West Bank;
-- live rounds and shells fired against farmers and workers in the Strip's border areas, killing an old man, his grandchild, another boy, and 30 sheep;
-- over 100 live rounds fired at an Erez Crossing peaceful demonstration near Beit Hanoun;
Circumcision
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?
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?
