Israel's Barbaric Solitary Confinement
by Stephen Lendman
An earlier article explained its harmful effects, accessed through the following link:
http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/04/harmful-effects-of-prolonged-isolated.html
Social psychologist Hans Toch coined the term "isolation panic" to describe symptoms he observed in men he interviewed, including panic, rage, a sense of total loss of control, emotional breakdown, regressive behavior, and self-mutiliation. He distinguished between difficult but tolerable incarceration and intolerable long-term isolation, how America and Israel treat thousands, subjecting them to barbaric torture. If sustained long enough, it destroys the human spirit, psyche, mind and body.
Rob Kall Ranks The Peoples Voice Among the Top 100 Blogs Overall
By Mark Powell
Breaking News: Rob Kall, executive editor/publisher of OpEdNews.com, recently “Ranked Among Top 100 Blogs Overall," gets his news and opinions from The Peoples Voice (TPV).
Yesterday (1/3/2011, at 11 a.m.) TPV publishes OpEdNews Ranked Among Top 100 Blogs, Why?. The article had no XML feed description and was not picked up by Google News.
As of 11:01 a.m. there were still two articles by Katherine Smith that had not been removed (censored) from the OpEdNews website:
- Baron Otto Von Bolschwing, SS Veteran of Eichmann's "Jewish Affairs"
- Why was I born? Why are we here?
By 2 p.m. the links were dead, i.e., “This article is not currently available.” [1]
Here are the articles that Rob Kall doesn’t want you to read: [2]
- Baron Otto Von Bolschwing, SS Veteran of Eichmann’s “Jewish Affairs”
- The Nazi & Jewish Affair to Remember (November 2010)
- Why was I born? Why are we here?
What can you conclude when the Editor of one of the Top 100 Blogs goes to the trouble to scrub an article that was the #1 most popular on his site for 48 hours? As they say, when you are “over the target,” Expect a “404"
Here is the article that Rob Kall read yesterday (1/3/2011).

“Bold and Daring,” not really. “Thought Provoking,” not a chance. The same old rant that everyone else publishes, for sure.
Of the top 15 Rob had the “courage” to publish, almost every one is replete with negativity and a Corporatocracy rant. The identical rant that we are bombarded with at every other alternative news and opinion website, 24x7 (except, of course The Peoples Voice, currently featuring Thought Provoking Articles):
What we aren’t getting that they have, that we deserve but they won’t give us because life isn’t fair. And don’t forget the world is full of a bunch of greedy bastards who run the corporations that don’t care about anything but profits.
Electromagnetic Frequency Mind Control Weapons
by Stephen Lendman
Directed energy weapons include lasers, high power microwave, and millimeter wave ones among others. A relevant December 2007 Department of Defense (DOD) report called them a "transformational game changer in military operations, able to augment and improve operational capabilities in many areas," for both lethal and non-lethal purposes.
Access the full text through the following link:

Among other applications, EMF weapons/devices are used for harassment, surveillance and mind control. Agencies like the Pentagon, CIA and NSA use them to monitor people, manipulate their minds, harm, and at times kill them. The Navy Times called them the "most feared and controversial weapon(s) of (the) modern age."
Human experiments in America go back decades, an earlier article addressed MK-ULTRA (and others), accessed through the following link:
"Breaking News”: America Blindsided Again
By Timothy V. Gatto
During a conversation with my wife, she mentioned that her mother was very disenchanted with the Federal government. The government is denying recipients of Social Security their cost of living adjustment for the second year in a row, but still they manage to give the wealthiest Americans a continuation of the Bush tax-cuts. I told my wife that she would probably blame it on Obama seeing that she isn’t very involved politics and she would only see the simple version of what happened, and that it was the Democrats and President Obama that extended the Bush tax-cuts for the wealthiest people and cut COLA for people on Social Security. I also remarked that the Republicans would probably use that to make political capital with, even though the Republicans were the ones pressing the deal.
We will not go down, for the Gaza tonight
Kourosh Ziabari
On the eve of New Gregorian Year, the international community commemorates the second anniversary of Israel's deadly offensive in the Gaza Strip in the wake of the continuous blockade of the coastal sliver which has paralyzed the lives of more than 1.5 million impoverished Palestinians living there.
Two years ago and during the final days of 2008, Israel launched an all-out military attack on the Gaza Strip which, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, claimed the lives of 1,417 Palestinians, the majority of whom were innocent women and children. The military assault of the Israel Defense Forces also wounded 5,303 Palestinians, destroyed more than half of the basic infrastructure of the strip and displaced tens of thousands of defenseless civilians.
Islamophobia in Western Media
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11, Western media, especially in America and Britain, describe Muslims as fundamentalists, extremists, terrorists, and fanatics. Throughout the West, Islam is identified with violence, when, in fact it has common roots with Christianity and Judaism. Their tenets are based on love, not hate; peace, not violence; charity, not exploitation; and a just, fair society for people of all faiths. You'd never know it from Islamophobic media reports.
Islamophobia Defined

I recently submitted Baron Otto Von Bolschwing, SS Veteran of Eichmann's "Jewish Affairs", an article written by Katherine Smith.
The reason Dr. Smith is not submitting is because she was banned for being too bold and daring.
I found this out quite by accident. I, like a lot of others who read her articles at OpEdNews, noticed when you search her titles, the google results tell you her articles have been scrubbed from the site:
OpEdNews - Article Missing ?- 2 visits ?- 10/22/10
Opednews.com Progressive, Liberal United States and International News ...
www.opednews.com/.../Don-t-Leave-Home-Without-T-by-Katherine-Smith-101009-779.html - Cached
I contacted Dr. Smith and she confirmed that all of her submissions, consistently in the top 10 by page views, have been scrubbed (except one) from the site. She also confirms that she is banned.[1]
Katherine writes Thought Provoking articles which she confirmed every one that was published at OpEdNews was in the top ten.
The collapsing hegemony of the West
By Kourosh Ziabari
In its path towards becoming a regional and international superpower, Iran is achieving remarkable breakthroughs in science and technology which have started to flabbergast the rivals around the world, from the United States as a self-proclaimed absolute superpower in economy and science to the neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region which are years from reaching self-sufficiency in meeting their domestic needs.
Historically, Iran has been known as a cradle of civilization and home to a number of leading scientists and scholars in various fields of knowledge and academic endeavor. Many of the world's prominent scientific accomplishments and discoveries were first brainstormed, proposed and realized in Iran and the international community owes to the Iranian scientists its familiarity and acquaintance with a number of outstanding scientific achievements.
Hail to the Thief: The New York Times Defends Mikhail Khodorkovsky
by Stephen Lendman
On October 25, 2003, Khodorkovsky (below called MK) was arrested for tax evasion and corruption, dating from when the Soviet Union dissolved and state privatizations followed. "Behind every great fortune lies a great crime," explained Honore de Balzac. Billionaire Russian oligarchs, like MK, illegitimately amassed great fortunes, avoiding prosecution during Yeltsin's tenure (1991 - 1999).
Beginning in 1991, various socio-economic measures were implemented without public discussion or parliamentary approval. Most important were Yeltsin's personal directives, creating a billionaire aristocracy handed the economy's most important, profitable sectors, free of charge - literally a license to loot.
Will 2011 see the creation of Palestine?
Khaled Amayreh
A Palestinian rioter, left, throws a stone at Israeli border police during
clashes in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan
With the peace process going
nowhere, and the US having failed in its role as broker, Palestinian leaders are considering their options.
Palestinian Authority (PA) officials in Ramallah are reluctant to give an unequivocal answer to the question of whether 2011 will see the establishment of the state of Palestine. International goodwill is certainly what many Palestinians are pinning their hopes on. However, international goodwill alone won't be enough, especially if Israel resorts to stonewalling and if its guardian-ally, the United States, refuses to rein in Israeli intransigence and unilateralism.
