Egyptian Mummies Prove Cancer is `Man-Made`

The mute mummies have actually communicated a lot: their bodies' lack of cancers and tumors underscore many researcher's suspicions and tends to support their theories.

(CHICAGO) - Cancer is the bane of the modern world. It kills millions of people annually. Yet the strange fact is, that there is almost no trace of the insidious killer among the remains of ancient peoples.

This incredible epiphany rocked researchers on their heels. Ancient people simply didn't die from any cancer-related disease.

Did Ancient Egyptians Possess the Electric Light?

Several years ago this exact experiment was conducted by the Discovery Channel.

(CHICAGO) - Who discovered electricity and then harnessed it to create an artificial light source? Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison are the respective gentlemen--at least that's the answer which has been accepted as fact.

Israeli Nukes 101

Deception clouds the air when it comes to the critical subject of Israel and nuclear weapons.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Ha'aretz published an article 7 July 2010 titled "Secret document affirms U.S.-Israel nuclear partnership" explaining that the U.S. has reportedly pledged to sell Israel materials used to produce electricity, as well as nuclear technology and other supplies.

The publication is Israel's most progressive daily newspaper, known for exercising more fairness with regard to the occupation of Palestine and subsequent oppression of Arab people, than most other Israeli media.

Meet the Dead of the Mavi Marmara

Meen erhabi? - Who's the terrorist?

(SALEM, Ore.) - The events leading up to Israel's illegal high seas attack on the ship Mavi Marmara, part of a Freedom Flotilla trying to break the military siege of Gaza, are both tragic and incredible.

That notion that a military force can attack a civilian ship with deadly weapons, kill several while carrying assassin 'hit lists', and then turn around and play the victim, might be the biggest stretch in Israel's history, and that is saying something.

Needed, A Just Accommodation

Displacing, assimilating or exterminating populations has been the course of human history from the beginning. Israel is no different than anyone else.

(GOLD RIVER, B.C.) - Needed, A Just Accommodation As most everyone who follows the news is aware, on May 31 the Israel Defense Force attacked a humanitarian aid ship headed for Gaza, killing at least nine people.

The world went into an uproar over this attack, and Israel's global propaganda machine went into high gear to control the damage.

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Bit of Background

Almost 58 percent of Palestinians live in poverty, and about half of this group lives in extreme poverty.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Much of the reportage on the Israeli commandos attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Israel's Gaza strip invasion, the 2006 war with Lebanon, and its continued settlement building, gives the impression that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is 21st century phenomenon.

What is sometimes lost in such coverage is the deep background the events described above are but the latest chapters in a long saga stretching back to the creation of Israel in 1947.

LIBERTY means Freedom and `Never Give Up!`

“The attack was the easy part; the aftermath in not being able to get our government to address this cover up has been the bastard.”- Gary Brummett, USS LIBERTY survivor

(TAMPA, Fla.) - On a steamy evening in May, a social justice Methodist Church invited the community to dinner and a presentation intended to ignite a fire in all bellies.

History of Empire: Cecil Rhodes

“The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.” – Cecil Rhodes

(EUGENE, Ore.) - Cecil Rhodes was at one time one of the wealthiest men in the world. He was also an insane megalomaniac, which is pretty much par for the course in that department.

His wealth came primarily from exploitation of slavery and natural resources in Africa, where the country of Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe and Zambia, was named after him.
