Global Civil Peace Declaration - End the Korean War and Sign a Peace Treaty!

End the Korean War! Shift from the armistice system to a peace system!

(YORK, UK) - I William Nicholas Gomes, Human Rights Ambassador for Salem-News.com. As a member of the global society, I endorse the Global Civil Peace Declaration as below.

2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Agreement. Hostilities were ended in 1953, leaving numerous deaths and inestimable property damage.

Keep American Government and Religion Separate and Keep It Peaceful

Amen for the first Amendment that guarantees the exercise of religion and forbids the state from establishing a religion. Can you imagine our government trying to run a church?

(NEWBURGH, Indiana) - We've seen religious fighting too often on television. From Egypt we've heard about the power of the Muslim brotherhood and from Afghanistan the fighting between the Sunnis and Shias.

We have enough problems in our country and the average American is not interested in religious violence.

July 26: Cuba`s Revolution, Morality, and Solidarity with Tamils

True solidarity activists have no choice. We must stand by any people under attack by aggressors wherever in the world.

(COPENHAGEN) - Sixty years ago, on July 26, 1953, 160 Cuban rebels attacked the Moncada Barracks near Santiago de Cuba.

Had the rebels been able to take the fort manned by 1,000 troops—a good possibility—it would have started a revolution that might well have defeated the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista within a short time.

Post-America and The Death of Exceptionalism

I wasn't a dumb guy, I went to Penn State... no, wait... it was the State Pen. - Dean Marin

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - It was just a year ago, that red letter day for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In huge red letters, as a matter of fact.

Jerry Sandusky, an erstwhile football coach and inspirational leader and advocate of disadvantaged youth, was jailed for life several times over.

African Opposites: Morsi and Mandela

We can only speculate the possible outcome if Morsi was moreso like Mandela and took a page out of his populist book.

(SALEM) - The people's voice prevailed at both ends of the African continent. Those polar opposites, as history will render in its final report, came from South Africa and Egypt. Both had its champions of causes, one for Human Rights; the other for domination by his faith.

We are of course speaking of the vast contrast between Nelson Mandela, a onetime Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Mohammed Morsi, just ousted as the President of Egypt.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

It doesn't have to end badly for America. We can have a great revival in our nation. Revival is not a bad word. Revival is a good word. It means to rekindle or bring back to life.

(NEWBURGH, Indiana) - A house divided cannot stand. America will stand only as long as we stand together. I understand that the political parties of our countries each have a purpose and a cause.

I realize the Baptists and the Methodists have a slight different point of view. I fully understand that Catholics and Protestants are a bit different in their religious teachings...

Mexico`s Rich Flourish

The Mexican rich bucked a worldwide trend in which the number of wealthy individuals declined slightly by 0.3 percent from 2007 to 2012.

(LAS CRUCES, NM) - A Great Recession? Not for Mexico’s rich.

In fact, the number of people in the Mexican Republic defined as wealthy by the corporate research outfit WealthInsight grew by almost a third between late 2007 and late 2012, a time when high unemployment and hard times had most people scrambling to make ends meet.

Save the Museum of Science and Industry

MoSI is an engaging place to learn about the role of the North in the Industrial and Scientific changes to the world and to lose it would be a great, great shame.

(YORK, UK) - The Museum of Science and Industry is one of the most important educational facilities in the country, educating young and old on the industrial and scientific changes to the world.

Manchester is a city at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and to close down a museum about the changes brought about in this great city would be a ridiculous idea.

The Unbearable Shame of Cameron`s `Torah` Government

Over-representation in the House of Commons is only part of the picture.

(LONDON) - Ten years ago Tam Dalyell, the 'Father of the House' (i.e. the most senior member of the House of Commons in the British Parliament), sparked a huge row.

He accused the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, of "being unduly influenced by a cabal of Jewish advisers"
