Op-Ed: Fascism Feeds
On Fear, Failure
To Democratize
By Henry Clay Ruark for Salem-News
Angry feudalists still seek reversal of progress.
(EUGENE, Ore.) - 
WHY is it we continue to face unreasonable and irrational, sometimes even threatening, reaction to all forward progress worldwide by those determined to “reverse-the-world back to the Middle Ages”? ARE there, even today, those who would prefer the social, cultural and --for sure-- the predominant ruling class economy/culture then in place?
You better believe it: Check out Comments received whenever any statement of “progressive” --much less “radical”-- political philosophy appears, anywhere.
You’ll recall that Middle Age image of castle-on the-hill --occupied by you-know-who-- and that bitter/cottage village-below for you, me and all others.
Medical Marijuana; The Oregonian and the Safest Medicine Ever Discovered (Part Two)
Dr. Phillip Leveque Salem-News.comPhillip Leveque has spent his life as a Combat Infantryman, Pharmacologist, Toxicologist and Physician.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) - 
I thank the Oregonian Newspaper for reports about dangerous drugs and more dangerous combinations in their story of December 24th, 2008.
The story points out that 50 million Americans are at risk. This is true because about 100 thousand patients die each year from medical misadventures which strangely enough are caused by their doctors.
Doctors aren’t supposed to know everything and Pharmacology or the science of the action of drugs usually doesn’t have a concurrent course of Therapeutics which is specific for which drug for THE specific disease.
Party Interests Drive China
Salem-News.comRFA says Civil Rights movement holds the key.
(HONG KONG) - 
China's ruling Communist Party is a highly efficient political machine that drives the country's 1.3 billion people with scant regard for their welfare, a former top official has said in a series of essays broadcast by Radio Free Asia (RFA).
In a blistering conclusion to a series of essays for RFA’s Mandarin service to mark the 30th anniversary of China's economic reforms, Bao Tong, former aide to the late ousted premier Zhao Ziyang, said the main hope for political reform now lies with the country's civil rights movement, as its citizens increasingly begin to invoke rights already enshrined in law to protect themselves against abuse.
Are There a Hundred More Coal Ash Spill Sites Across U.S.?
Salem-News.com15 states appear to have three or more Tennessee-like unlined “Surface Impoundment” sites For toxic coal-fired power plant waste.
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - 
Could another major coal disaster happen at one of the many Tennessee-like power plant coal pollution dumping sites across the United States?
How much toxic arsenic, lead and other heavy metals that endanger drinking water are being dumped into those unlined “surface impoundment” sites each year?
How did federal regulation of coal pollution break down to allow these threats to exist … and what needs to happen if the public and environment are to be protected against future Tennessee-like disasters, as well as the “slow-motion” leaching of toxic metals into drinking water, rivers and streams?
The World Should Stop Israel`s Killing Machine (VIDEO)
Perspective by Tim King Salem-News.comThe country that the United States has shown decades of blind support for while contributing billions in U.S. taxpayer revenue, has a seriously checkered past when it comes to military restraint.
(SALEM, Ore.) - 
Today's Israel began its existence as a terrorist nation. That is a hard fact for many people to accept, but it is true.
Great Britain and the United States were complicit in the formation of the Jewish state, and both nations are also presently aware that Israel has undeclared nuclear weapons pointing at its neighbors, as it lies to the world and claims to be a non-nuclear entity.
Today Israel is a country that kills large numbers of Palestinian people in retaliation for the loss of a few of their own. Today, it is a country despised by its neighbors over its lack of lethal restraint in resolving its affairs.
Ambulances Unable to Reach Gaza Wounded as Israel Presses Attack
Salem-News.comThe UN estimates that Palestinian deaths have reached 500 and are rising, and some 2,500 have been injured in the offensive which Israel says it launched to end Hamas rocket attacks against its southern cities and towns.
(NEW YORK) - 
Ambulances and medical workers in Gaza are facing increasing difficulty in reaching the wounded, some are being killed in doing so, and a “humanitarian breathing space” is vital to ensure that food and medical supplies reach those in need as Israel’s offensive entered its 10th day, the top United Nations relief official in the area said today.
“Large numbers of people including many children are hungry, they are cold, they are without ready access to medical facilities, they are without access to electricity and running water, above all they are terrified. That by any measure is a humanitarian crisis,” UN Humanitarian Coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory Maxwell Gaylard told a news briefing in Jerusalem.
Doctor Shopping Can Frustrate New Medicare Enrollees
By Barry-Lee Coyne for Salem-News.comWe are entitled to much more; items such as the doctor's continuing medical education courses over the last five years so we can gauge how updated that MD elects to be.
(SALEM, Ore.) - 
Sometimes who your doctor happens to be can spell the literal difference between life and death, so that decision should never be taken lightly.
However, those newly enrolled in the Medicare system may find their former physicians do not accept Meduicare. For one reason or another, they may be forced to switch.
Doctor shopping is never a fun process. The way things are set up, it is not a consumer's market.
