The Next Big Storm in the Spirit Realm Has Arrived Suddenly

We've got to resort to non violent resistances with unbiased diplomacy with prayer and fastings to deal with the root causes of the problems and not with the use of drones, tanks, missiles, rockets, bombs and bullets.

(SEOULE, South Korea) - The next big storm in the spirit realm has arrived suddenly and more quickly than usual due to increased blood shedding in Syria, Afghanistan, Libya etc. releasing more curses-increasing the intensity of the tidal wave of darkness moving across the world like a big waves, causing the whales, dolphins, birds animals and people to become more disorientated and sickly.

Everyone needs to beef up their spiritual defences with a day's water fasting.

Lies Agreed Upon, But Whose Lies?

A new Sri Lanka government counter documentary is redolent of that curious Rajapaksa mix of cynicism and naivety.

(CHENNAI, India) - ‘Lies Agreed Upon: Sri Lanka Counters Channel 4’ is a faithful reflection of the strengths and weaknesses of its maker – the Rajapaksa administration.

The documentary is at its strongest and most compelling when it deals with the manifold atrocities of the LTTE. The Tiger-crimes need no embellishment; just the bare facts suffice.

Parent Or Child, Who Runs The Show?

Who is running this show?

(CLEVELAND) - In Luke Easter's latest poem, we see how problems our children experience are often our own problems that we hand down to them. It is hard to face, but parents need to raise their level of awareness for the benefit of all.

It truly is hard to hold a child to blame when they are not who buys the family groceries, or establishes the rules that regulate what the do and do not eat and drink. They depend on parents to do the right thing,

With Respect To The `Dossier` on Ken O`Keefe Composed By Mary Rizzo

Contrary to resolution, what Mary's effort accomplishes is continuation of this issue and the taking of sides... Solidarity Lost.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - A lengthy diatribe composed by Mary Rizzo [12/2010] of Palestine Think Tank (PTT) regarding claims she feels are of major import regarding alleged actions of activist Ken O'Keefe (involved in the Road to Hope convoy of last year that met with numerous obstacles and negative press), is described as a “dossier” by Mary.

In the classic sense, her overdrawn article is anything but a dossier. To some, this may be a minor point but I raise it here to address the issue of clarity and purpose.

Jamal Belica Talks About Release of New Song `Can`t Lose: Bullyproof`

"My dad and I were watching the news together about these kids in Massachusetts bullying other kids and I asked my dad if I could write a song about these bully dummies".

(SALEM / BOSTON) - Jamal Belica has just released his first song and music video, “Can’t Lose: Bullyproof.” It’s a great song and he sounds like an old pro instead of a newcomer. He has none of the stiffness of the usual novice.

All I can say is that he is a natural and the song is a good listen. For those who have not yet seen the video, there is, however, something unusual about Jamal.

High Levels of PCDDs in Vietnamese Breast Milk from Historical Agent Orange Spraying

The Hidden Horror in Agent Orange.

(LONDON Base Peak) - One of the unfortunate legacies of the futile Vietnam War in the 1960-70s is linked directly to the decision to undertake large-scale defoliation in order to remove ground cover for the opposing troops and destroy crops.

The principal herbicide used was Agent Orange which was contaminated with toxic impurities that continue to exert their influence even today.

Is Obama Influencing Israeli Unrest?

Conservatives suggest it is true, but other left leaning politicians and trends in Israel could have a lot to do with it.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Peter Paton from The Conservative Papers sent an article to Salem-News.com today, suggesting that U.S. President Barack Obama is behind Israel's current wave of domestic protests and civil unrest.

The suggestion is reminiscent of claims made during Iran's so-called 'Green Revolution' - that the internal unrest was an ambition of the west. Either case takes the pressure, seemingly, off the government inspiring the protests.

A Response To The Transparent Assault Against Ken O`Keefe

Ken is going to survive this bit of nonsense precisely because the people who truly know him will stick with him and those who have or had ulterior motives will drift away.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - First, and most important in my mind, is that Ken has certainly proven himself as the “genuine” article through all the work he has thus far accomplished with regard to Palestine and for the beautiful Palestinian people.

Anyone who questions this does so with intentionally closed eyes and ears.

The Allegation that Iran is Developing Nuclear Weapons is a Mirage: Arshin Adib-Moghaddam

Dr. Adib-Moghaddam's articles and commentaries have appeared on Guardian, CNN, Monthly Review, Independent, Open Democracy, Antiwar and Daily Star.

(TEHRAN) - Dr. Arshin Adib-Moghaddam is a political commentator and lecturer in the comparative and international politics of western Asia at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

He joined me in an in-depth interview and answered my questions regarding the continued controversy over Iran's nuclear program, the Western media's black propaganda against Iran, the prospect of Iran's Green Movement and the future of Iran-West relations.

Palestine and the Palestinians: A Love Story, Like No Other

“To smile when confronted with the most severe oppression, is an act of Resistance rooted in unparalleled beauty.” ~ Jonathan Azaziah

(LONDON) - Every morning he wakes up, prays, prepares tea, carries the old tea pot and a small glass and goes to check on his trees and plants. He wanders between the loquat tree and the apple tree and the vineyard, between the jasmine, the sage and the thyme bushes.

He checks on them, waters them, removes unwanted weeds and collects some mint for his tea. He then sits in a corner, under the shade of the loquat tree, sips his hot tea and watches the leaves dance with the cool morning breeze.
