Profile of a Rogue State
by Stephen Lendman
America's unmatched globally. However, pound for pound, based on size, its policies, and regional threat, Israel stands out.
Daily, its crimes against humanity continue. On January 23, Jerusalem police arrested two Palestinian officials, Khaled Abu Arafeh and Mohammed Totah.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said both men were wanted for unspecified "Hamas activities" with no further comment.
Hamas, of course, is Palestine's legitimate government. Israel and America spuriously call it a terrorist organization. Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri said arresting both men was a "Zionist crime." Palestine's parliament hasn't functioned since Hamas and Fatah split in 2007.
PermalinkConsensus 9/11: Seeking Truth, Dispelling Lies
by Stephen Lendman
Consensus 9/11 seeks "best evidence" proof to dispel official story falsehoods. It's founded on:
"(1) The opinions of respected authorities, based on professional experience, descriptive studies, and reports of expert committees.
(2) Physical data in the form of photographs, videotapes, court testimony, witness reports, and FOIA releases.
(3) Direct rather than circumstantial evidence."
Determining "best evidence" depends on "integrating individual professional expertise with the best available documentary and scientific evidence."
Simplified Delphi methodology is followed. It's often used "where published information is inadequate or non-existent." As a result, experts use "best evidence" to determine truth.
Can Occupy Save Labor? The People United Will Never Be Defeated
By Kevin Zeese
The labor movement has been in decline for decades, while more than one-third of employed people belonged to unions in 1945, union membership fell to 24.1% of the U.S. work force in 1979 and to 13.9% in 1998. Today, including all workers public and private, 11.4% are union members, for workers outside of government it is only 6.5%. Restrictive laws make organizing workers very difficult so a new strategy is needed to increase worker power. That strategy needs to include uniting unions, non-union workers and the people. The 99% needs to see that it is everyone’s interest to have a strong labor movement.
The Occupy Movement has shown itself to be very pro-labor, as can be seen in the outline of Occupy Washington, DC's position statement: Worker's Rights and Jobs. But, we are not in lockstep with union leadership. Indeed, perhaps the most important difference is we are independent of the two political parties, while most unions are closely tied to the Democratic Party – and have been closely tied to the Democrats throughout the decline of the union movement.
Europe's Losing Game
by Stephen Lendman
Partnering with America has consequences. Europe's paying by shooting itself in the foot.
On January 23, EU representative for foreign and security affairs, Catherine Ashton, broke the news. She announced an "unprecedented" anti-Iranian oil embargo, effective July 1 and immediately from new contracts.
CDC calls Morgellons’ nanoworms a delusion, protects DARPA
By Rady Ananda
Imagine having the mental prowess to be able to create living filaments heretofore unknown, that can reproduce themselves, some of which come with identifying letters embossed on them, and then to make them extrude from beneath your skin, all against your conscious will. [Image]
Sound like science fiction? It’s not, says the US Centers for Disease Control.
Despite having spent four years and $600,000, and using the world’s largest forensic database, the premier health agency reports it is unable to identify the source of the fibers emanating from those suffering with Morgellons. [1]
The CDC suggests that four out of a hundred thousand people, the rate of infection in Northern California, are imagining these filaments into existence.
Obama's Failed State of the Union
by Stephen Lendman
It was typical Obama, taking credit for what should be condemned. He's a fraud, a crime boss, a war criminal multiple times over, a moral coward, and serial liar.
His State of the Union address was beginning-to-end doublespeak, duplicity, coverup, and denial of failed policies complicit with Wall Street crooks, war profiteers, and other corporate favorites while popular needs go begging.
America at Crossroads
Mahboob A. Khawaja, Ph.D.
“We, as Americans, need to ask ourselves what all this is about? Why is our government so provocative toward Islam, Russia, China, Iran? What purpose, whose purpose is being served? Certainly not ours …………Where do we go from here? If not to nuclear destruction, Americans must wake up.” Paul Craig Roberts - “the Next War on Washington’s Agenda.”
It is unthinkable and irrational stance that if Iran develops the nuclear know-how and capacity and that it could threaten anyone in the region or beyond. We live in an age of actions-reactions and nuclear reprisals - no one would like to be candidate for the first strike to ensure self-destruction, and those who possess the nuclear capability know it well, understand its disastrous consequences to use the nuclear weapons. Nothing will survive on the planet as it is no longer 1945 or situations like Hiroshima-Nagasaki. The world is informed, mature and vigilant, and no single nation can dare to use such weapons unitarily and defy the dire consequences of self annihilation and destruction. American leadership knows it well too. So what is this all fuss about? What is this nonsense of nuclear weapons development in Iran? Imagine, if the Shah, the absolute king of Iran was alive and buying the weapons from the US, would America move to strangle Iran? No, certainly NO. Isn’t this another myth of the continued bogus War on Terrorism raged on the false pretext of the WMD in Iraq?
WILL YOU TAKE A STAND FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE AS MLK DID?
Allen L Roland
The words and inspiration of Martin Luther King Jr return every third Monday in January but in the troubled days of 2012 King’s words demand a deeply personal moral stand ~ Are you willing to protect something so precious that you will die for it?
As our civil liberties slowly erode with a corporate state under control of the Military/Industrial complex and global elite ~ there will come a time when we all must take a stand for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause or some great truth.
The question is ~ are you willing to stand alone and overcome fear for what is right in a world apparently gone blindly wrong?
