Obama: America`s `First Jewish President`?

You would think after six decades of dispossession, four decades of occupation and two decades of peace processes that President Obama would recognise a political and moral discrepancy that needs fixing.

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Obama is the “the first Jewish President”. That’s the title of New York magazine’s lead article, written by John Heilemann and quoting a major Obama fundraiser.

Listening to Obama speak at the United Nations on Wednesday many would nod in agreement, not less in Palestine and the Arab world. The US president has embraced the rejectionist Israeli position on the question of international recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

The Mythology of 9/11

The events like the 9/11 attacks may be unjustified, but they are not unprovoked assaults against the truly innocent.

(GOLD RIVER B.C.) - The tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001 has come and gone. One could not help but notice the media was full of articles on the event, and of public officials and others holding forth on what it all meant, yadda, yadda, yadda.

There was no opportunity passed up to pander to the fears and gullibility of the citizenry and feed them fantasies and half truths. A propaganda event, in other words.

Ground Zero Mosque Opens Without Much Controversy

"...the center is open to all faiths and will include a 9/11 memorial..." - Developer Sharif El-Gamal

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - The Islamic Community Center located blocks away from where the Twin Towers once stood, and commonly referred to as the ground zero mosque, has officially opened, celebrating the day with an art exhibit that features children representing 171 ethnicities.

The ‘NYChildren Photography Exhibition’ brought visitors instead of protesters to the opening at the controversial Park51 Community Center location.

CBC and Pacifica Disgraced by Kay

Public Broadcasters Disgraced as Agents of the 9/11 Cover-Up.

(LETHRIDGE, Alberta) - Jonathan Kay was a featured guest highlighted in the network coverage of the tenth anniversary of 9/11 as broadcast by both Pacifica Radio in the United States and the English-language radio division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Kay wrote for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation a hate-inspired, tenth-anniversary text claiming that those engaged in seeking answers for the copious unanswered questions concerning 9/11 are engaged in “absolving” all Muslims collectively of a “terrible crime.”

`Occupy Wall Street` - Protests, Watch Live

We now have the masses gathering against the Wall Street Bankers.

(NEW YORK VT) - 50,000 protestors gathered in NYC are poised to clash with the police, ignoring orders to disperse, as they Occupy Wall Street.

As with the ongoing anti-banker protests in Greece, Spain and in fact throughout Europe, the protests here in the U.S. will be largely or entirely ignored by the corporate / M$M media.

9/11, Twin Tower Destruction and Lethal Toxic Sequels

Is it P.C.B.'s and Dioxins?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The number of people becoming violently ill and even dying from the Twin Towers destruction seems to be a public health mystery. It should not be. A couple of TV doctors have stated that this is caused by Benzene, Jet fuel and dust. No such thing!

Many people are exposed to benzene on a daily basis. It does cause some Leukemia-like diseases but nothing like what is happening, besides that where did the benzene come from in that building. The second guess was Jet fuel. Thousands of people are exposed to this every day refueling planes, trucks, tractors, cars, et cetera. Jet fuel doesn’t do anything like this.

Rounding Up Years of 911 Stories on Salem-News.com

We offer this list of critical reviews of the government's version of the 9/11 events from one year ago...

(SALEM, Ore.) - This roundup of stories about 9/11 represents the work of a large number of our writers who sometimes have a hard time sleeping over the nagging, agonizing facts that we do know about 9/11.

There is ample evidence to prove to anyone with a reasonable comprehension of science and physics, that little of what the government claims is even physically possible, and absolutely untrue.

Troubling Questions Lead to Demands for 9/11 Truth

"The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists." — J. Edgar Hoover

(LONDON) - At every 9/11 anniversary emotions run high, wounds rip open and the shock horror that changed our lives forever, resurfaces again.

What also resurfaces is the resentment and hatred against Muslims dividing societies ironically into Georges Bush’s ideal worldview of “us” and “them”.

Ten Years After 9/11: What We Know and Where Do We Go?

Up until THAT DAY we call 9/11, I was a typical self-satisfied, self-centered, uninformed, misinformed comfortably numb American Christian.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Middle East correspondent of The Independent, Robert Fisk recently wrote:

“By their books, ye shall know them…In the years since, of course, we've been deluged with a rich literature of post-9/11 trauma, from the eloquent The Looming Tower of Lawrence Wright to the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, whose supporters have told us that the plane wreckage outside the Pentagon was dropped by a C-130...

An American-Palestinian Reflection on 9/11

Ten years after September 11, 2001, we still have the choice of continuing the same policies that lead to war and conflict or to insist on human rights and hold violators accountable.

(WEST KINGSTON R.I.) - Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, an American Palestinian, spent several years teaching genetics at Yale University. Today he teaches and does research at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities in occupied Palestine.

But he is at least as much involved in the struggle for Palestinian rights. Israelis have arrested him on several occasions for participating in peaceful protests.
