Animal Diseases: Time to Expose Really Dangerous Corporate Lies

The diseases scares are lies with tremendous consequences for farmers, for food, for animal diversity, for control of and harm to populations through vaccines.

(PHILADELPHIA) - The Food Modernization and Safety Act empowers DoD and Department of Homeland Security to mass slaughter animals here in the event of an animal disease outbreak.

No need for the disease to be dangerous, or even exist. A declaration by the CDC is enough for military to roll out and begin killing.

Global March Places Focus on Israeli Violence in Gaza, West Bank

Activists in the Bethlehem area, the birthplace of Jesus, are planning a number of functions including functions that challenge the occupation and others that educate tourists.

(BETHLEHEM) - With some other activist Palestinian friends, I took two days to go to Amman to attend a conference for the Global March to Jerusalem. We met great people from around the world including Palestinians in exile. But every time we leave Palestine even for a very short time we feel like a fish out of the water.

We missed the funeral of Mustafa Tamimi, murdered with a tear-gas canister at a demonstration in Nabi Saleh. We missed the notice given yesterday of the demolition of a home in Beit Jala (near my village) and thus the actual demolition this morning.

Dead Forests, Dying People - Agent Orange & Chemical Warfare in Vietnam

"With the sole exception of nuclear weapons, never has such an inhuman fate ever before been reserved for the survivors..." — Dr. Ton That Tung

(DA NANG, Vietnam) - Making their way through Vietnam’s dense jungles, U.S soldiers heard a cacophony of squawking birds, chattering monkeys, and insects buzzing like high voltage wires.

Newt Unleashes His Tetrodotoxin at the Palestinians

Even more ludicrous and perhaps more frightening, is this man’s willingness to undermine US policy.

(LA VERNE, Calif.) - "Remember there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire. And I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people, who are in fact Arabs, and were historically part of the Arab community…" Gingrich said.

Gibson Pushes Bill to Help Vietnam Veterans

The bill would move the position of the U.S. government back toward what it was in 1991, when the original Agent Orange legislation was passed.

(DANANG, Vietnam) - Congressman Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, has introduced a bill to extend benefits for ailments associated with Agent Orange exposure suffered by "blue water veterans" who served in Vietnam aboard Navy ships but did not set foot on land.

The bill, H.R. 3612, is a companion to similar legislation introduced in the Senate earlier this year by U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Marine`s Homicide Rejected by `Scientific Journals`

Convincing evidence in a scientific paper by two forensic experts of the murder of Colonel James E. Sabow rejected by leading forensic journals.

(SALEM) - The difference between homicide and suicide can sometimes be a close call, requiring extensive pathological review and crime scene reconstruction.

However, the violent death of Marine Colonel James E. Sabow at MCAS El Toro on January 22, 1991, was a clear case of homicide. For those with knowledge of the cold case, this isn’t even a close call.

Abolish the Death Penalty, Replace With Life Without Parole

Imposing the death penalty is much more expensive than imposing a sentence of life without parole, because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for death penalty cases.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - The death penalty should be abolished in the United States because life without parole is more humane, less discriminatory, and a less costly alternative – and it avoids the risk of executing an innocent person.

Thirty-four states impose the death penalty, including California, Oregon, and Washington, and there are 41 Federal capital crimes for which the death penalty can be applied.

Santa-Jeff Feltman Delivers his Annual Yuletide Gifts to Lebanon

As Jeffrey Feltman makes his rounds by relying on the outdated idea that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and that the sky is falling, Jeffrey gets stuck in a chimney so to speak.

(SOUTH BEIRUT, Lebanon) - Over the past few years, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman has sledded into Lebanon bearing gifts during the Yuletide season more regularly than Santa Clause.

Yet, as happened yesterday, he somehow manages to finish his gift giving and lift off to continue his rounds as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
