America's Illegal Chemical Weapons Stockpile
by Stephen Lendman
On November 28, the Conference of the States Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) opened its 16th session in The Hague, Netherlands.
Information on it can be found on the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) web site.
OPCW is mandated to implement their elimination, and "to provide a forum for consultation and cooperation among States Parties." Its work includes:
(1) Demilitarization: destruction of all chemical weapons and precursors.
(2) Non-Proliferation: ensuring against proliferation of toxic chemicals and their precursors.
(3) Assistance and Protection: Member States able to protect their populations pledge to help others that can't.
America Lurches Toward Full-Blown Tyranny
by Stephen Lendman
Post-9/11, America's moved steadily toward eroding democracy entirely. Justification given is war on terror hokum. Incrementally, international, constitutional and statute laws have been trashed.
Equity, justice and other democratic values long ago were abandoned to advance America's imperium. On May 26, the House voted to abolish freedom entirely - HR 1540, 322 - 96.
On December 1, the Senate did likewise - S. 1867, 93 to 7. Both versions assure no one anywhere is now safe, including law-abiding US citizens.
WW I: A Pointless Tragedy or Super Russian Doll Conspiracy
By Katherine Smith, PhD
WW I, the war to end all wars, never made any sense. The official story of WW II: a fanatical dictator trying to take over the world with money from George H.W. Bush’s father, at least sounded plausible… until you realize that:
Adolph Hitler was, a gay prostitute and a street cleaner, who made every mistake possible in his failed attempt to take over the world. Hitler came on the scene with the Beer Hall Putsch (a march on Berlin), the first in a series of curious blunders.
“When the Munich police fire into the ground, the brave soldier from WW I throws himself to the ground dislocating his shoulder and runs away. After hiding in a friend's house for several days the future Führer is arrested and his 5-week trial turns Adolf Hitler into a national hero where he wrote, later corrected to “dictated,” the best seller Mein Kamp. His struggle was most likely ghost-written by a Jesuit priest.” Inside The Gestapo by Hansjurgen Koehler
Other problems with the official WW II story:
- The Munich Agreement
From the World Book Encyclopedia:
“On September 29, 1938, an agreement was signed between Hitler and Great Britain’s Neville Chamberlain calling for a peaceful revision of the wrongs committed by the Treaty of Versailles that would have avoided World War II. Hitler said the Sudetland was “the last territorial claim I have to make in Europe.” But German troops invade Poland on Sept 1, 1939, starting World War II. The Munich Agreement was one of the worst of the tragic blunders that led up to the war.”
Blunder? Unlikely
World Book scholars neglected to read the November 14, 1938 front page of the Völkischer Beobachter, reporting the death of Vom Rath.
“Reichskristallnacht, Crystal night: cause and effect.”
The Munich agreement did not stop World War II because a Polish Jew, Herschel Grynszpan, walked into the German Embassy in France one week earlier and assassinated, according to most historical accounts, a “top German” diplomat as revenge for the expulsion of Herschel’s parents from Germany to Poland.
Joseph Goebbels suspected a Jewish conspiracy and planned a trial hoping to demonstrate Grynszpan’s link with the Zionists to plunge Europe into a war. The trial was scrapped when Grynszpan fabricates a story about a homosexual liaison between the junior diplomat and himself.
Troy Davis's sister succumbs to cancer
Mary Shaw
On December 1, Martina Davis Correia lost her long battle with breast cancer. Correia was the sister of Troy Davis, who was executed by the state of Georgia on September 21 amidst worldwide protest.
Georgia went ahead with the Davis execution despite compelling evidence suggesting that he was innocent of the murder for which he was convicted. Davis's original trial was flawed. Most of the witnesses have since recanted or contradicted their stories, with many claiming that they had been pressured or coerced by police. And there was no physical evidence linking Davis to the crime. His conviction was based solely on that questionable testimony by witnesses.
A Government Out of Control
By Timothy V. Gatto
Lately I've been wondering about good and evil and right and wrong. I guess that I think about these things because of what I see on all in the news reports. The announcers on television don't seem to blink an eye when they talk about the cities that we bomb and the resulting carnage. It's almost as if these things are just natural occurrences in the daily life of the people planet Earth. What I really can't wrap my head around is that the most war loving segment of America seems to be the Christian right.
I know that throughout history, Christians have been responsible the majority of wars in the last 500 years. I also know that the rulers used religion to obtain public support for their military adventures. This is no secret, not by any means. Most of the history textbooks have no problem revealing the use of religion as a pretext for war. I can remember how my fellow students in college shook their heads and talked about the stupidity of the people that believed in the propaganda that their rulers were using at the time.
Flu Shots, Fosamax and Pharmaceutical Fakery: The Common Use of Misleading Statistics in the Medical Literature
By Gary G. Kohls, MD
Last week there was a media buzz generated by a recent article in The Lancet (a pro-vaccine, pro-pharmaceutical industry medical journal that is published in Britain) that showed that flu vaccinations are far less effective than had been previously believed. In fact, the study suggests that the trivalent flu vaccines currently being pushed may approach worthlessness.
The article’s principle author was Michael Osternolm, PhD, MPH, a widely published infectious disease researcher who, prior to his current faculty position at the University of Minnesota, had served in various capacities with the CDC and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), including a high profile role as the MDH’s Chief of the Acute Disease Epidemiology Section. 15 years of that association with the MDH was served as Minnesota state epidemiologist. Osterholm has published over 300 articles and is highly respected in his field.
Will Global Financial Demoltion Lead to New World Order?
Allen L Roland, Ph.D.
The financial elite are laughing for they are well aware of the ongoing planned global financial demolition as well as the rapidly emerging New World order ~ with the Global elite firmly in control. However, there is another choice but it will take the same courage the people of Iceland took in reclaiming their country from the robber barons: Allen L Roland
The next step in the Occupy Wall Street movement, after establishing its presence and credibility, is to fully expose the enemy, the global financial elite, as well as their ongoing global financial demolition plans which will eventually lead to a New World Order ~ unless the people reclaim their power. Make no mistake ~ this is a planned demolition not unlike Building 7 as well as the two TradeCenter towers on 9/11.
International Solidarity Day with Palestine
by Stephen Lendman
Established by the UN in 1977, International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is observed on or around November 29.
The date commemorates November 29, 1947, the date UN Resolution 181 was adopted, despite Palestinian opposition.
At Risk Eurozone Sovereign Credit Ratings
by Stephen Lendman
Moody's says Eurozone crisis conditions place all member state credit ratings at risk.
It warned 87 European banks to expect downgrades. Moreover, Fitch revised America's debt outlook to negative. Nonetheless, its AAA rating is unchanged. For how long is another issue.
At the same time, Italy's La Stampa said IMF intervention will rescue the country. No source was given, and Il Sole 24 Ore, Italy's Financial Times, didn't report it. It makes the claim all the more suspect.
Illegitimate Egyptian Elections
by Stephen Lendman
Last February, Mubarak's 30-year dictatorship ended. Another one replaced him. Egypt's military holds absolute power.
Authoritarian dominance is unchallenged. Elections are more theater than real. Egypt's multi-round complex process complicates them further. So do logistics. Understanding what to do is daunting.
The hybrid ballot lists parties and individual candidates. Voters choose from both. Candidates represent professionals and worker/farmers. Influence peddling and fraud are rife.
