Re-institution of "caliphate" is sine-qua-non for Muslim salvation
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine
It is hard to predict the actual l ramifications and repercussions of the declaration by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) on Sunday, 29 June, that its chief Abdul Latif al-Baghdadi has been declared a Khalifa (caliph) of all Muslims.
Many Muslims, including this writer, are reluctant to pass a final judgment on this matter for many reasons.
A chief reason that makes many people exercise caution and discretion in this regard is the fact that western powers, which more or less dominate the bulk of Arab states, will hasten to nip in the bud every serious effort to reinstitute the political authority of Islam, formally terminated with the downfall of the Ottoman State following the First World War.
Illinois and Virginia CPS’ Conspire to Steal and Sex Traffic Children
Posted on May 17, 2014 by Dave Hodges
When holding on to sensitive information, I have found it prudent to go public as I believe it gives the greatest chance of not becoming a statistic such as Breitbart, Hastings, Clancy and appropriately in this case, Nancy Schaefer. Subsequently, I am publishing notice of the fact that the state of Virginia Child Protective Services is sex-trafficking in children that it illegally seizes and that the Illinois Child Protective Services is cooperating with Virginia in order to complete a child abduction with sex-trafficking connections.
Obamacare and Child Abduction
Nearly three weeks ago, I wrote an investigative article which exposed a massive conspiracy designed to separate parents from their children and an obscure element of Obamacare would subsequently give the government complete control over your children.
In the article, it was documented that Human, Health and Services (HHS) and their state level emissary, Children Protective Services (CPS) are engaged in a conspiracy which will culminate in (1) the Agenda 21 designed breakdown of the family; (2) the eradication of any semblance of parental authority over children; and, (3) unbridled and unfettered access to seizing children from the home in unlimited quantities for whatever nefarious purposes (e.g. child sex trafficking) which might dictate the volume of child seizures.
Israel resorts to murder, mass terror, and lies against Palestinians
Khalid Amayreh in Dura
As the latest Israeli rampage of murder and terror in the West Bank continues unabated, hopes for locating three young Jewish settlers Israel says were kidnapped by suspected Hamas militants are steadily vanishing.
Tens of thousands of Israeli troops are taking part in one of the largest operations in Israel's history. So, far troops have thoroughly searched more than a thousand Palestinian homes in the Hebron region alone, but to no avail.
Soldiers have also been searching wells, abandoned caves and other possible hideouts in the large Hebron district. In many cases, troops blast their way into Palestinian homes, using explosives. The aggressive and unnecessary measure, which often takes place in the quiet hours before dawn, is obviously intended to terrorize Palestinian civilians and inflict on them maximum emotional pain and material losses.
Today’s Oligarch Curtain of Lies, Theft, Death and Destruction Are Exposed As Never Before
Joachim Hagopian
In psychology our belief system shapes our perceptions of the world around us, in fact becoming our very sense of reality. Our primary caregivers, most often our parents, project their view of us and their world onto us and we in turn internalize their views as our own sense of developing self and world view. In this last century the influence of mass media has also come to increasingly shape our world and self-concept. As adolescents and young adults we often change and modify our perceptions of the world based on our own interpersonal experience particularly with peers and movement to finding resonance with a more authentic, individuated self in relation to our surrounding world. But with time and more adult experience often comes an existential dilemma and/or crisis if and when we encounter growing dissonance between what we thought we knew and changing reality input increasingly at odds with our old world view.
ISIS (DAASH) now recruiting in Palestinian camps in Lebanon--who are those guys?

Ein el Helwe camp
As Washington and London were affirming the past few days their intentions to continue to arm “moderate rebel factions” in Syria, Tel Aviv just announced it would like to be helpful by joining with “moderate Arab nations” to battle their mutual Muslim enemies.
Israel offered on 6/26/14 to help “moderate” Arab nations who may feel threatened by the lightning land grabbing offensive by Islamic militants in Iraq. As its foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman, an arch Zionist Islamophobe and Arabphobe, met with Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris, he reportedly talked sweet about some Arabs and told Kerry that "the extremists currently operating in Iraq and Syria will try to challenge the stability in the entire Gulf region, first of all in Kuwait." A statement from his office added that “Israel could provide effective and reliable assistance to moderate Arab states who are dealing with extremists.”

Remembering my encounter with Fred Phelps
Mary Shaw
Fred Phelps
As LGBT Pride Month winds down, I am thinking about my encounter a while back with the now-deceased "Reverend" Fred Phelps, then head of the homophobic Kansas-based Westboro Baptist "Church", whose website can be found at GodHatesFags.com. Yes, that is their actual web address.
For decades, the Westboro folks have been traveling the country and picketing any public or private event that they think represents gay culture or its effects. They sometimes even picket soldiers' funerals, because they believe that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were punishments from God for America's tolerance of homosexuality - as if that makes any sense at all.
And those are some things that I cannot let go unchallenged. So I took advantage of an opportunity to confront Phelps in person - in public.
Karma: The Elephant in YOUR Room
Philip A Farruggio
Paramahansa Yogananda
One of the greatest books this writer has ever read was Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This man was part mystic, teacher, philosopher and Yogi who those that experienced him saw as a living saint. He once taught Mahatma Gandhi Kriya Yoga, and understood that this 3rd dimension we live in is nothing more than a dream or grand drama that each of us creates. The key point of his philosophy was that our essence, or soul and spirit, lives on after we pass the doorway of death… and the only thing that matters in this drama is how we think, feel and finally act. Thus, Karma is created and it is the only judge we must face. Karma is defined as ‘The total effect of a person’s actions and conduct during the successive phases of his existence.’ Better yet, the more common explanation of Karma is ‘As ye sow so shall you reap‘. In Brooklyn we used to say ‘What goes around comes around‘.
I was all set to sit down and write this new column, when one of my readers, Bob G, sent me something about the German anti Nazi patriot and martyr, clergyman Dietrich Bonheoffer. One of Bonheoffer’s famous quotes was “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless.” He knew, as few of us here in Amerika understand, that if enough Germans had stood up to the Nazi party before they took over, they never would have succeeded. One realizes that once the Nazis took power in 1933, it was much more difficult to protest their machinery of repression was already working. Men like Bonheoffer did what they could to undermine and subvert the Nazi horror, as did the White Rose group that Sophie Scholl and her brother belonged to.
Didn't Sign up For This!
Timothy Gatto
It is no secret that I spent twenty years in the U.S. Army. However the World has changed, and unfortunately, not for the better. At the time I enlisted, the Soviet Union was the biggest World threat, and had been so since my birth in 1950. When I manned the radars in the fire control section of the Nike-Hercules missile system (designed to protect the U.S. and our overseas allies from a Soviet bomber attack), I felt proud to be a part of using these nuclear devices to protect my country. It was a different era and I had a different mindset.
World of Resistance Report: Inequality, Injustice and the Coming Unrest
by Andrew Gavin Marshall
In Part 1 of the World of Resistance (WoR) Report, I examined today's global order – or disorder – through the eyes of Zbigniew Brzezinski, a former U.S. National Security Adviser and long-time influential figure in foreign policy circles. Brzezinski articulated what he refers to as humanity's "global political awakening," spurred by access to education, technology and communications among much of the world’s population.
Brzezinski has written and spoken extensively to elites at American and Western think tanks and journals, warning that this awakening poses the “central challenge” for the U.S. and other powerful countries, explaining that “most people know what is generally going on... in the world, and are consciously aware of global iniquities, inequalities, lack of respect, exploitation.” Mankind, Brzezinski said in a 2010 speech, “is now politically awakened and stirring.”
