Mass Execution of Children Alleged

A probable site of this mass burial of the executed children has been located, and is now under the protection and jurisdiction of the Onkwehonwe Mohawk Nation and its clan mothers.

(BRANTFORD, Ontario) - "My brother Rufus saw them take all those children and stand them up next to a big ditch, and then the soldiers shot them all and they all fell into that ditch. Some of the kids were still alive and they just poured the dirt in on top of them. Buried them alive."

Dreams of Democracy

"Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven." --H. L. Mencken

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Leno asks questions that anyone with a rudimentary knowledge should be able to answer. The extent of the ignorance of the average public is perfect for a comedian, but disastrous for a democracy.

Returning to the voices for democracy, Arab protesters often don't know what it entails other than a constitution, a vote and representative voices in a parliament or congress.

Freedom Waves to Gaza Boarded by Israeli Military

The Israeli military reported that the navy has been ordered by IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz to board the ships after “attempts to contact them failed.”

(GAZA CITY) - Canadian and Irish ships sailing with Freedom Waves to Gaza have been illegally boarded by the Israeli military in international waters a short while ago.

Ask your Congressman Who is Waging Class Warfare?

And while you’re at it, also ask your Congressman for a list of individuals, corporations, and foreign nations who own a million dollars or more of your national debt.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - Most people assume the Republican Party is opposed to welfare and other forms of social spending. Various reasons are given including social programs being a form of class warfare redistributing wealth downward from the hardworking rich to the lazy poor.

Are Republicans and their Dixiecrat/Blue Dog/DLC Democrat brethren really opposed to welfare? The facts are in the Federal Budget.

Cheney In The Bunker; Cheney in Canada

A Credibly Accused War Criminal Reflects on Al-Qaeda and the War of 1812- Cheney, Torture, Pedophilia, and the Vancouver Club.

(VANCOUVER, B.C.) - Former US Vice-President Dick Cheney met a large and extremely committed contingent of citizen jurists who assembled by the many hundreds at the Vancouver Club on September 26, 2011. Cheney had come at the invitation of the Mon Mot Book Club. His visit was calculated to give a Canadian boost to the beginning of his tour to promote his political memoire, In My Time.

When Cheney took charge of the microphone at the Vancouver Club, those assembled outside to protest his presence in Canada far outnumbered those who had paid $500 each to hear this modern-day warlord regurgitate his slogans of crusade and conquest.

Rick Perry for President

America, it has been said, is on its way to becoming a Fascist state. This depends on the definition. The WW2 dictator Benito Mussolini said: “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power”.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - In an August 25 column in the New York Times, David Brooks said “It’s time to take Perry seriously. He could be our next president.”.

Being reasonable and progressive has little traction in American politics these days. But I’m not giving up; I just see the writing on the wall. The American people are going to have to be driven to their knees and their faces ground into the dirt, before they realize how they have been fooled.
