Christmas in July? Bah Humbug!

Christmas in July? Could it work? Of course it can. It can work in every month, in every day, in every hour.

(WASHINGTON DC) - July finds me in one of the biggest churches in Washington, D.C. during their First Annual Children’s Book Fair.

All around me authors are selling books: some teaching children about business and saving money; others about self-esteem; another about a girl’s entrance into puberty; a few titles about bullying.

Dr. Boyce & Wilmer Leon: Did Someone Try to Assassinate Hillary Clinton In Israel?

Dr. Boyce Watkins and Dr. Wilmer Leon discuss the issue.

(SYRACUSE, NY YourBlackWorld) - This week, it was reported by international news agencies that there was an assassination attempt on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her recent trip to Israel.

Oddly enough, the story was reported on both Israeli radio and Reuters, which both went silent shortly after the reports.

War On All Fronts

Washington's three-front war: Syria, Lebanon, Iran in the Middle East, China in the Far East, Russia in Europe...

(WASHINGTON DC) - The Russian government has finally caught on that its political opposition is being financed by the US taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy and other CIA/State Department fronts.

It is an attempt to subvert the Russian government and install an American puppet state in the geographically largest country on earth, the one country with a nuclear arsenal sufficient to deter Washington’s aggression.

The Tirgan Festival and the Waters We Sprinkle on Each Other

The festival of Tirgan or Āb-Pāshān enjoys close links with the developments of nature, religious beliefs, historical events and the myths of Persia.

(TEHRAN) - Imagine that in one of the hot days of summer, you're invited to a "water-sprinkling" festival along with happy people and children gathered to celebrate a joyous day.

It can be easily visualized that playing with water in a hot summer day in a beautiful city park together with a host of delighted citizens can be quite blissful and fantastic.

Campaign to Promote Circumcision Wastes Resources

Lack of Open Debate Results in Flawed Policy.

(BOSTON) - Ronald Goldman, Ph.D., executive director of the Circumcision Resource Center and author of Circumcision: The Hidden Trauma, is concerned about the International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC starting July 22. He says it offers a one-sided view by promoting male circumcision to reduce HIV transmission in Africa.

Desensitizing the System... How To Inoculate The Courts Against Anti-Government Lawsuits

Courts everywhere reject amateur actions on a daily basis as having no merit.

(SASKATCHEWAN) - The difference between the American and Canadian governments in their treatment of indigenous people is – as Helen Keller might have said – the difference between tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.

There are subtle differences, which perhaps only a Philadelphia lawyer could detect, but they share the central characteristics of hypocrisy and denial.

BBC Campaign on 911 Truth Shifts into Second Gear

Send an email to the UK Parliament Media Committee

(SAN FRANCISCO) - You can help motivate the members of the UK Parliament's Media Committee to hold the BBC accountable for its biased coverage of the real 9/11 evidence.

More than 250 of our newsletter subscribers wrote to the BBC Trust and UK Parliament Member Tom Watson in response to the article 'Hold the BBC Accountable' in our June 5 Blueprint newsletter and a follow-up Action Alert.

Mending Fences in Laos

More than 20,000 people have been killed by the bomblets and more than 98 percent of known cluster bomb victims are civilians with 40 percent of these children.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Earlier this month U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the first high level U.S. official to visit Laos since the Vietnam War.

Although not touted as such, the visit was an effort to mend fences with Laos, the most heavily bombed nation per capita in history.

What Really Lies Behind Israel`s `No Occupation` Report

Experts have also pointed to the difficulties Israel will face if it adopts Levy’s position.

(NAZARETH) - The recently published report by an Israeli judge concluding that Israel is not in fact occupying the Palestinian territories – despite a well-established international consensus to the contrary – has provoked mostly incredulity or mirth in Israel and abroad.

Left-wing websites in Israel used comically captioned photographs to highlight Justice Edmond Levy’s preposterous finding.

Kuhan from EROS is the Treasurer of the GTF

The secrecy and evasiveness is a little mind boggling.

(SAN PEDRO, CA) - A Senior GTF official a few months ago confirmed to me that GTF indeed had a secret meeting with Sonia Gandhi. I also have a witness outside of the GTF when this information was provided to me.

There is no harm in the GTF meeting Sonia Gandhi considering the fact that GTF President was deported from Chennai many months ago despite holding a valid visa.
