One of the speakers was Phyllis Bennis. She is a journalist, and a peace and justice activist. Ms. Bennis said: “Wars Need Secrets. Illegal wars keep illegal secrets...Democracy needs whistleblowers.” Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, served as the moderator for the rally, which was entitled: “Free Bradley Manning. ”For background on the “alleged whistleblower Bradley Manning,” see: http://www.bradleymanning.org/

An amazing and poetic composition filled with images and the truth about Gaza, which is a hell.

Similar to a siege conducted during the middle ages, Gaza is presently the only place in existence on the planet where a modern day siege is being carried out against a virtually unarmed and defenseless civilian population.

Gaza is a concentration camp, a prison where millions of people are being systematically exterminated by every means at the disposal of Israel/America, bullets, phosphorous bombs, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, radiation, water contamination, and lack of medical care, to name a few.

Gaza is a modern day version of Adolph Hitler’s Warsaw Ghetto where many thousands of Jews were confined within a city like a big concentration camp. The people were systematically deprived of food, and medicine and of course all human rights. The Nazis shot them and executed them in the thousands. This is one of the reasons the murderous state of Israel is compared with the Nazis today. It has nothing to do with Anti Semitism, which is a term that is now liberally used to silence Israel’s critics.

The comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany is made because the Nazis are the only government or political party in resent history that has acted in the same manor as the present day Israeli State. Only the Israeli state is as racist as the Nazis, requiring genetic purity testing prior to marriage approval, similar to Hitler’s Arian racial purity requirements. Of course the Nazis didn't have access to genetic testing like Israel and used crude methods to discern racial origin, but the result was the same, overt social discrimination based on race.

Only the Israeli state is attempting to systematically remove and exterminate a race of people from a region of the earth, which they have literally stolen, which Hitler also did. He said Germany needed Lebensraum- land to grow and of course being overt racists the Nazis could not tolerate other peoples and races on their newly acquired territory and so like Israel, the Nazis attempted to remove and exterminate the people by any and all means at their disposal.

On Thursday evening, Aug. 5, 2010, Baltimore City’s Planning Commission held a public hearing in the Benton Building, near the City Hall. The matter before the panel is officially known as “The 25th Street Station” project. Wal-Mart, however, will be the biggest tenant in the development.

With finance at the top of our society, we increasingly find our own lives fragmented, and without meaning.

Is this an order enforced?

Appearing during the first half of the program, analyst Craig Hulet offered commentary on the economy, and geopolitics. American corporations like GM are now conducting more of their business in places like China, he said, adding that a lot of the bailout money to the banks has also gone overseas for lending. The Wall Street reform bill has no stipulations to regulate the derivatives market, and favors large banks which will continue to buy out smaller banks, he noted. He characterized the current situation as a "mixed economy" in which authority emanates from a central power like the Federal Reserve, keeping the dollar low, and inflation high; yet the amount of actual dollars in circulation are at the lowest level since the Great Depression, and that indicates deflation.

He foresees a scenario in which Israel attacks Iran, and America gets drawn in. For the US and its allies, Iran has always been the target, but they weren't prepared to dominate them until they physically surrounded them by occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, he suggested.
