Millionaire Preachers & Parishioners? Sure, Why Not?

This poem offers a different perspective on those who have done well for themselves while devoting their professional lives to religion.

(LOS ANGELES) - It is easy to come down like a ton of bricks on ministers and preachers who have worldly possessions. They are often in the spotlight for things they do and over what they may own.

But what about athletes? Some are so overpaid that it is simply ridiculous.

LeBron James Cleveland to Miami

Big changes for two U.S. cities.

(LOS ANGELES) - Good times and bad times in the NBA. LeBron James' move to Miami signals good days for fans there, and it means Cleveland is busy painting over a mural of LeBron downtown.

Maybe Cleveland needs to take a good close look at its own role in all of this; and examine what it did or didn't secure to secure their star, so they can keep their next one in place.

Breaking Taboos

“Jewish blood is not the same as the blood of a (Gentile) goy” - Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg

(LONDON) - Any observer following current publications can notice the exponential multiplication of articles, videos, blogs, websites, and dubious "studies" which boast of the allegedly exceptional and superior Jewish IQ.

This proliferation is arguably linked to the fact that the massive over-representation of Jewish zionists in sensitive position in politics, media, and banking, is no longer taboo, and can not be denied any more.

`I have a Dream`

I dream of liberation of Palestine.

(LONDON) - My dream is not blurred by illusions or hindered by hardships. A cornerstone for a Liberation movement is clarity of vision, to keep our objectives in focus.

It is perhaps the disproportional difference of power which makes our aims and vision look like foolish dreams to those who think of themselves as being “realists”.

Debt Collectors & Debt Collection Law Suits

In the end there are those in this world willing to live as carpetbaggers.

(LOS ANGELES) - It became common in the United States during the recent economic downturn, for attorneys to file lawsuits against consumers to collect old debts.

These lawyers whose specialty is the ability to file thousands of suits at a time, on behalf of big corporate firms that take the debts off the hands of other companies.

The 72 Virgins of Western Religious & Political Propaganda

One of the biggest zionist propaganda myths is the invention of 72 virgins as a Muslim reward for suicide. This has been repeated to the western world so often that most people accept it as fact.

(LONDON) - I would be obliged if any hasbara mouthpiece care to quote the Qur'anic verse that promises the "jihadists" 72 virgins

BP Oil Spill - A Poem

Sure, free access said the BP executives yet the media is denied,

(LOS ANGELES) - For many the BP Oil Spill scandal has become something too large to grasp or properly react to. There is little progress, regardless of what they say, and there is the knowledge of it being an expression of greed, pushing Mother Nature's boundaries.

The lack of containment places wildlife in serious jeopardy, and an endless series of lies are an attempt to offer lame excuses by oil conglomerate BP.

Poetry: The Lonely Sentinel

This particular piece speaks to man's need to be standing in places where he does not belong, and it is about the biggest enemy of mankind, and that is greed.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - Salem-News.com began carrying poetry several weeks ago for a number of reasons. First, we love writing and expressing thoughts and this is a beautiful medium for any type of story telling, for all of history.

Through the work of Nahida Izzat and Luke Easter, we have captivated many already with this unusual approach.

Poetry: We Are Not Alone

It is true that it is better to die standing, than to live crawling. For some, these are life's two choices.

(LONDON) - The attack on the Free Gaza Aid Flotilla has left the world stunned and shocked, but the movement itself is validation that people worldwide will not accept the prolonged suffering of the people of Gaza.

Gary Coleman (A Different Strokes Memorial) R.I.P.

What you talkin' about Willis?

(LOS ANGELES) - Good luck finding someone in the USA who lived in the 70's and 80's, who isn't familiar with Gary Coleman. He was a child star who had a very hard time emerging from that role as an adult.

Gary Coleman was adopted as an infant and had three different surgeries for his kidney condition before he was five years old.
