Genocide in Gaza and AIPAC Praises US HOUSE Representatives
By Eileen Fleming
Palestinian mourners carry the body of five-year-old boy Abdallah Abu Ghazal
during his funeral in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya on July 10, 2014 after
he was killed in an Israeli air strike.
Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.
According to the United Nations, more than 100 people have been killed and 340 Palestinian houses have been destroyed during Israel’s ‘Operation Protective Edge’ which began on 8 July 2014.
On Saturday in Gaza, Israel killed nine more people including two disabled women and remains oblivious to mounting international outrage and pressure to negotiate a ceasefire.
In Tel Aviv Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters, “We are weighing all possibilities and preparing for all possibilities. No international pressure will prevent us from acting with all power.”
We will overcome despite Israel's Nazi-like atrocities
By Khaled Amayreh in Occupied Palestine
I know that the words of a journalist, however eloquent they may be, can't fully communicate the macabre scenes of carnage, especially when the victims are mostly children and other helpless civilians. And I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said that the scene of scattered child limbs and flesh chunks dispersed by the impact of Israeli bombs don't affect me or influence the way I think and feel.
However; for the sake of history and future generations, we journalists in the field must try to convey the ongoing atrocities, carried out by the criminal entity known as Israel against the helpless Palestinians, lest some people say "we didn't know that Israel was so evil."
“Labor Reform”: Proposals to Maximize Workplace Bullying
James Petras
Introduction
Leading management consultants, top government officials and prominent financial journalists are proposing, what they dub, “labor reforms” as the solution for double-digit unemployment and underemployment, economic stagnation and the decline of capital investment.
“Labor Reform” as the Concentration of Power and Profits
First of all, the term “labor reform” is just a euphemism for labor regression, the reversal of laws and practices that workers and employees secured through decades of struggle against employers.
The idea that “labor reforms” would create jobs for the unemployed has been tried and disproven over the past decade. Throughout Europe, in particular Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland and France, laws facilitating firings, pay differentials between short-term and long-term contract workers and speed-ups have not reduced unemployment, which still remains at depression levels.
Americans’ Sense of Freedom Plummets By 12% … Trust in All 3 Branches of Government Hits Historic Lows
By Washington - StateOfTheNation2012
Our Belief in "Widespread Corruption" In the U.S. Jumps 20%
Problems Are All Related ...
The Christian Science Monitor reports:
According to a new [Gallup] poll, Americans have become significantly "less satisfied with the freedom to choose what they want to do with their lives."
Seventy-nine percent of US residents are satisfied with their level of freedom, down from 91 percent in 2006, according to the Gallup survey, released Tuesday.
***
That 12-point drop pushes the United States from among the highest in the world in terms of perceived freedom to 36th place, outside the top quartile of the 120 countries sampled, trailing Paraguay, Rwanda, and the autonomous region of Nagorno-Karabakh [part of Azerbaijan].
Only 10 nations experienced as sharp a drop as the US in terms of the satisfaction of citizens with their level of freedom: Egypt, Greece, Italy, Venezuela, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Romania, Yemen, Pakistan, and Spain.
Immigration in the Time of Imperialism
By Gaither Stewart, Senior Editor of TGP & Cyrano’s Journal
Poor Africans are setting sail for Africa in ever increasing numbers. The continent’s constant turmoil and endemic poverty caused by neocolonialism and its native collaborators has made life impossible for the majority. This group was rescued by the Italian navy.
The lids between deck and dark airless hold are bolted shut. The 45 lifeless bodies are neatly stacked in the hold one atop the other. Silence reigns down in the torrid darkness. The lifeless bodies are all young males. From Central Africa. No signs of mass panic among them. No blood anywhere.
Can Hezbollah Prevent DAASH (IS) From Pulling Lebanon into its Caliphate? Jihadists in Lebanon
by FRANKLIN LAMB
Bedawi Palestinian camp, North Lebanon
The answer to that question is—perhaps. But for a number of reasons, some suggested below, it’s not a happy picture, and it won’t be a walk in the park.
The recent “victories” by DAASH (IS, or Islamic State) in Syria and Iraq have not taken long to begin reverberating through the ground in Lebanon. A gauntlet of sorts stands before this country, one that it must negotiate successfully if it is to avoid an all-out war, dismemberment or its substantial subjection to elements of extreme Islam.
Ukraine President Threatens Resistance with Nazi Style Reprisal Killings
Obama administration lapdog, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, threatened the Eastern Ukraine resistance with harsh punishment for defending themselves against his government's military assault on their towns and cities. Reuters reported the following promise of reprisal:
"For every soldier's life, the militants will pay with scores and hundreds of their own. Not a single terrorist will avoid responsibility; each will get what they deserve." Petro Poroshenko, President, Ukraine, Reuters, July 11
Poroshenko and his comrades were reacting to a major resistance victory against Ukraine's regular army. Somewhere between 20 and 40 Ukrainian troops were killed in an attack by resistance forces under the command of Igor Strelkov. Poroshenko failed to note that the missiles he claimed were used against Ukraine regulars are the same types of weapons the Kiev government used against cities and towns in the contested, densely populated Donbass region under attack.
CNN: Palestinians Want to Die
By David Swanson
In this latest assault on Gaza, Israel had by Thursday already killed 69 Palestinians including 22 children and 13 women, plus 469 wounded including 166 children and 85 women, and 70 houses destroyed. These numbers have since increased significantly.
In this video from Thursday on CNN, Jake Tapper interviews Diana Buttu, a former advisor to the PLO. After failing to persuade her of Israel's complete innocence, he tells her that Hamas is instructing women and children to remain in their homes to die as Israel bombs them. She responds by expressing doubt that people want to die. Oh no, says Tapper, Palestinians live in a culture of martyrdom; they want to die.
CPS Across The Nation Fails The Children They’re Tasked To Protect

Arizona Disbands CPS; Child Immigration Fueling Crisis
Any interested party is compelled to ask: Qui bono? Who really benefits when Child Protective Services (CPS) is in such a state of disarray. Truly, that question must be addressed if the solutions are to be found to this ever-worsening predicament.
Why is it that so many children across America are unlawfully taken from their homes, unjustifiably separated from their legal parents, and/or shipped off to foster care in faraway places? More importantly, why are there so many unaddressed child abuse and neglect cases throughout the nation? Even after serious complaints have been filed with CPS, they are often backlogged into oblivion!
Something is very wrong with the current state of affairs within Child Protective Services — across the vast majority of the 50 states. Of course, there is no ongoing predicament like Los Angeles County, California; clearly, the Golden State is not so ‘golden’ where it concerns the welfare and safety of its children.

What real meteorologists are worried about but are forbidden to mention
Gary G. Kohls
The video talks about the frightening scientific evidence behind the media/government censored-out geoengineering program that has been going on for decades. Be SURE to watch it.
The presentation discusses the reality of weather modification, global warming, chemtrail aerosolization (just LOOK UP) of the atmosphere (that happens on most relatively cloudless days over my city), weather warfare experiments by the Pentagon, bio-accumulative/endocrine disruption of our sickening bodies via metal poisoning of the atmosphere/planet/brains/endocrine systems.
