Turkey/Israeli War of Words
by Stephen Lendman
A previous article discussed release of the leaked UN Palmer Commission's report on Israel's May 2010 Mavi Marmara massacre, killing nine Turkish nationals in cold blood.

Ever since, Turkey demanded an apology and compensation for loved ones of those killed. In fact, Israel never says it's sorry, even when caught red-handed. Turkey called it unacceptable, warning of sanctions and other consequences.
Libya, Inc.: Coming Waste, Fraud and Other Forms of Plunder on a Grand Scale
by Stephen Lendman
Like in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, wherever America and its Western allies show up, pillaging is sure to follow.
Libya is no exception, earmarked as another profit center to be exploited. A previous article discussed it, accessed through the following link:

Promoting Fear and Hate in America
by Stephen Lendman
Numerous previous articles explained how fear is used in America, notably against Muslims for political advantage.
They're described as fundamentalists, extremists, terrorists, and fanatics. They're identified with violence, when, in fact, Islam 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.
Carving up the Libya Corpse for Profit
by Stephen Lendman
On September 1, dozens of predator states met in Paris to pick apart Libya's bones even though it's breathing, if barely.
We've seen it before, notably in Iraq under Paul Bremer's 100 orders that turned the country into a cutthroat capitalist laboratory. Baghdad was open for business at fire sale prices with US and other Western firms having first dibs on everything.
The "cradle of civilization" became Iraq, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of corporate predators. The Iraq that was no longer exists.
UN Report on Mavi Marmara Massacre
by Stephen Lendman
On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos willfully and maliciously interdicted Freedom Flotilla vessels in international waters, bringing humanitarian aid to besieged Gazans.
In the process, they slaughtered nine Turkish nationals aboard the mother Mavi Marmara ship, wounding dozens more, and arresting everyone on board.
A same day article described what happened as known at the time, accessed through the following link:
http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/05/brave-israeli-commandos-slaughter-aid.html
It was a well planned premeditated attack against unarmed, nonviolent humanitarian activists, trying to break Israel's illegal blockade to deliver essential aid. Cold-blooded murder resulted.
Israel's Proposed Counterterrorism Law
by Stephen Lendman
In recent years, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) increasingly warned about infringements of democratic freedoms in Israel.
Major concerns involve undermining free expression, human dignity, equality, pluralism, freedom of assembly and right to protest, and whether certain positions can be declared illegitimate, despite the democratic right of anyone to profess them.
Besieging and Terror Bombing Sirte
by Stephen Lendman
In his latest article, Paul Craig Roberts calls America "utterly corrupt" and "certainly no 'light unto the world.' "
In her latest article, Diana Johnstone said "Western 'democracy' is in danger of being gradually reduced to a mere ideological excuse to attack, ravage and pillage other people's countries."
It's official policy, in fact, because the business of America is war, permanent war against humanity by military, financial, political and other means.
PRESS RELEASE: Ian Crane, Ex-Schlumberger Oilman, Illegally Tapes Former GOSRC Coordinator
By Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference
ALL POINTS BULLETIN RE: IAN R. CRANE
The Gulf Oil Spill Remediation Conference, an 11 month-old International Citizens’ Initiative, is filing criminal charges in Tallahassee, FL against Ian Crane, a former Schlumberger oil executive. The GOSRC has forwarded the original email to authorities in which Crane admitted to taping the former National Coordinator without his knowledge or consent. Crane’s subsequent suspicious actions and dubious correspondence concerning the Gulf Oil Spill have caused many throughout the GOM citizen’s movement to question his motives and agenda, and therefore compel us to file these charges.
Ian Crane currently poses as an advocate of sorts whereby he often places the full responsibility of the BP Gulf Oil Spill at the feet of BP’s Robert Kaluza. Crane’s former employer, Schlumberger, the world’s largest oilfield services company that worked on the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, “says its crew left the Horizon on the day of the fire”. As an ex-oilman, Crane has adopted a pattern of behavior in which many sincere Gulf advocates, who do not wholeheartedly join his cause, have become subjected to completely untrue and unwarranted derogatory statements, as well as a continuing barrage of ad hominem attacks.
By several accounts Ian Crane has teamed up with an internet writer, Deborah Dupre, who has likewise used her writing platform to vilify and persecute some of the most courageous heroes of the Gulf Oil Spill. Dupre writes for Examiner.com which began a partnership with Thomson Reuters in the City of London, England. Reuters corporate headquarters is located approximately one tenth of a mile from BP corporate headquarters in London. Crane’s media outlet is located in Devon, England.
Silencing the Independent Voices Of Truth on the BP’s Mega Oil Spill, GOM
By BK Lim, et. al. (14 Feb 2011, updated 20 Feb 2011)
Three things you can’t hide: The Sun, The Moon and The Truth.” ~ Buddha.
All that is needed for evil to succeed is that decent human beings do nothing. – Edmund Burke
No Nothing is what it seems in the BP’s Mega Oil Spill disaster.
Perhaps it was the 14 Jan political overthrow of authoritarian president Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali who ruled Tunisia with an iron fist for the last 23 years and the ensuing popular uprising in the Middle East uprising against tyranny, misrule, corruption and highhandedness. Even the world’s 10th largest military could not suppress the civilian uprising which has until today lasted 17 days. President Hosni Mubarak who had a tight control of the Egyptian armed forces is expected to step down any time soon. (He stepped down 2 days after this article was written).
“Without Love All There Is Is War”: Prophetic Words From a Modern Prophet
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
I have a habit of rescuing old used books from garage sales, used book stores and library book sales, books that are at risk of being tossed into the flames or shredders because they haven’t been read or checked out of the library for decades. It is a sad commentary on our high-tech society that classic, out-of-print books that contain the accurate history and wisdom of the ages are crowded off library shelves by pulp novels, comic books, fantasy novels, romance novels and Kindles (which, by the way, will never get around to publishing even a tiny fraction of the books that I have rescued from oblivion).
In one of those old, not-yet-musty books that I purchased from a church library sale years ago, I found a paragraph about prophets that resonated with me. The passage concisely articulates a powerful truth that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else.
The book that contained the quote was titled “Religion in the Struggle for Power”. It was authored by J. Milton Yinger, PhD, a professor of sociology. It had been published by Duke University Press soon after World War II, and was a study of the sociology of religion. I bought the book mainly because it contained a chapter entitled “The Churches and War”.
