2 of 3 | 3 of 3 The destruction of the World Trade Center was a mass murder that was committed by the United States puppet government against the American people. This monstrous act gave the perpetrators the excuse they needed to attack the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan while simultaneously stripping the American people of their constitutional rights. Millions of innocents have died in two wars of theft and profit, which serve only the international bankers and military industrialists who together enslave the unsuspecting American people. Obama serves the same masters and their agenda of war, profit, world domination, and death continues. As long as the American people remain beaten ignorant slaves the truth concerning the real perpetrators of 9-11, and the death of John F. Kennedy will always remain hidden.

On March 24, 2010, social justice activists from the “Network to Stop Foreclosures and Evictions,” held a press conference in Towson, MD. They are trying to stop the Bank of America (BOA) from foreclosing on the home of Renee DeFreitas. According to their press release, Ms. DeFreitas is 51-years old, with five children. She works for the state of Maryland and lives in Baltimore City. Ms. DeFreitas, as a “result of the economic crisis,” was forced to apply to the BOA for a “home modification on her loan.” Unfortunately, the BOA has ignored that important process and turned the matter over to a local law firm for foreclosure action. Check out for background on the growing foreclosure crisis, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/22/us/22foreclose.html and http://www.bailoutpeople.org/ and http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=123973499

A new brilliant work by Anthony Lawson

Extract: There can be absolutely no doubt that Israel has created an inhuman, illegal and utterly disgraceful Apartheid state, and the international community will never be able to excuse itself if it takes no action against this blatant, ongoing and in-plain-sight crime against humanity.

Please join the millions of decent people around the world who are crying out against Israel's ongoing persecution of the Palestinians. Send the link to this video to your elected representative and make sure he or she does something about it. You have to ask yourself: If I keep quiet, will it ever end?

A rally was held, on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, at noon, outside the headquarters of Verizon, in downtown Baltimore, MD. Activists, representing a coalition of concerned citizens, demanded to know why Verizon doesn’t have any plan to “deploy its next-generation fiber-optic data communication technology” in Baltimore City? They underscored how the company does provide that service to other jurisdictions in Maryland, and also in the District of Columbia. The coalition, according to its press release, is launching a “bus billboard campaign” to get its message out. Matthew Weinstein, Baltimore Region Director of Progressive Maryland, moderated the event. For background, go to: http://www.whereisbmorefios.org
