`The Answer to BDS is Jewish Power`

You may note that Cohen doesn’t refer to the ‘Israeli Lobby’ or the ‘Zionist federation.’ He is precise and accurate. He points at ‘Jews’, ‘their power’ and the ability to ‘wield it.’

(LONDON) - While the BDS and Electronic Abunimah make a continuous and relentless effort to stop us from talking about ‘Jewish Power', Ben Cohen and The Algemeiner stated today, in the open, that “The Answer to BDS is Jewish Power.”

Christmas 2013 in Bethlehem

Nowhere can we hear the same singers mix Christmas and patriotic songs in the Manger Square and the Shepherds’ field.

(BETHLEHEM) - Christmas 2013 in Bethlehem (Beit Laham, Aramaic for House of Laham, the Canaanitic God of Sustenance) is still a very special and meaningful time even under the brutal Israeli apartheid occupation.

We are not talking about the visual aspects and the unique religious services at the Church of Nativity (you can now follow these live stream for example on the link shown below).

PRESS TV: SEAL Team 6 - The Ultimate Burn

Will a House Committee further burn the legacy of SEAL Team 6?

(SALEM) - The crash was the costliest in the history of U.S. Naval Special Warfare, but what really happened to 17 members of U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6? Is Congress really going to investigate? These nagging questions are part of a scheduled U.S. House of Representatives probe in January, that may be nothing but smoke and mirrors.

This brings little solace to the families of warriors who were credited with capturing and killing bin Laden.

Christmas - Time to Remember the Special Ones

Christians of Pakistan always try to celebrate the Christmas in their best available resources.

(LONDON) - When it comes to the celebrations of Christmas so much to be seen everywhere in the world in terms of decorations, shopping, food and much more. With the passage of time, the Christmas has become a global festival irrespective of the fact that the basis of this festival is the cornerstone of Christianity.

The celebration of Christmas in Pakistan, which is dominantly a Muslim country, has also taken a different turn during the past few years.

PTSD: Anxiety, Fear and Anguish

One dictionary said “depression is sadness”, if that is so, PTSD is cancer of the soul.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - “Marijuana works best,” say combat Veterans. I base this statement from my experience with hundreds of Vietnam veterans who discovered that C/MJ worked better than any other medicine given them by the medics for “battle terrors”, and its sequel, PTSD.

The military, especially the owners of the combat infantryman, have been calling PTSD “depression”. I researched many websites to see if I could find a medical definition. What I found was seemingly unlimited advertising for anti-depressant drugs which did not offer signs nor symptoms of depression.

I`m Still Standing
Fire Sweeps Chinese Skyscraper but...

Around 380 firemen battled the flames, which quickly overwhelmed the entire building.

(SALEM) - Chinese residents in the city of Guangzhou were shocked last week when a massive skyscraper lit ablaze, tumbling to the ground at free fall speed, almost exactly like the three buildings in New York City that burned and fell on 11 September 2001.

OK, it isn't April Fool's Day, so I will cut the charade. The building in China did burn, for 11 hours in fact, but it didn't fall because fires do not make skyscrapers fall, implosions make them fall.
