Academy Members Shouldn`t Shun Zero Dark Thirty

These are secret abductions and transfers of prisoners to overseas black sites like those shown in the film where torture is used.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Actor David Clennon, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, claims that the movie Zero Dark Thirty "promotes the acceptance of the crime of torture, as a legitimate weapon in America's so-called War on Terror."

Mr. Clennon, along with actors Ed Asner and Michael Sheen, state they will not vote for the film in any category.

Islamist Rebels for France: Terrorists in Mali, Friends in Syria!

France bombards the Islamist militants in Mali, while accusing the Syrian army of "committing a brutal aggression" when it’s defending the state on its land.

(DAMASCUS / ROME) - France finds itself committed to intervene in Mali TO PROTECT THE STATE against the Islamist fighters related to Al-Qaeda (WOW).

Yet it considers the same guys, the jihadists who are shouting Allah Akbar and fighting the "infidel regime" in Syria as "rebels for freedom and democracy"!

Who Are the Real Terrorists?

None of the crimes committed by the 9/11 attackers fall within the "intent" definition of the US code.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - The US Code defines terrorism as a crime that appears to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian, population.

Another is to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion or to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping.

U.S. Couple With Jewish Roots Didn`t Expect El Al`s Inquisition

While flying to Israel recently, Rebecca and Rafiq were treated with intrusive suspicion and lost a computer and iPad.

(TEL AVIV Ha'aretz) - The El Al security checkers abroad are apparently trained to treat anyone who doesn’t come under the category of Jewish ‏(or Christian Zionist‏) tourist with extreme suspicion.

This is the conclusion to be drawn from the treatment meted out to 32-year-old Rebecca and her partner Rafiq, 34, who flew from New York to Tel Aviv on December 23.

`Mr. Obama, Tear Down These Sanctions!`

A cri de coeur from a student at Damascus University…

(DAMASCUS, Syria) - This observer has learned from time in this region that if one wants to learn what is happening on the ground politically and socially it is fine to speak with government officials, journalists, long tenured academicians, NGO’s, and people on the street.

But I have learned that one of the best sources of objective information comes from university students.

US: Exposing the Hypocrisy of a Nation

For its revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, like slavery itself, the doom of the United States of America is certain.

(DENVER) - Abolitionist, former slave and gifted Black orator Fredrick Douglass, offered what was perhaps the most caustic speech ever on July 4 1852.

He spelled out in no uncertain terms what the American Independence day meant to slaves ensnared in the so-called empire of liberty.

Zero Dark Thirty: Turning the Spotlight On US Use of Torture

I highly recommend Zero Dark Thirty. Americans should see another example of what is being done in their name.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - Everybody knows that Osama bin Laden was killed by a team of Navy SEALS on May 2, 2011.

The film Zero Dark Thirty involves the ten-year search for bin Laden, pitting Maya, played by Jessica Chastain, who believes bin Laden is likely hiding in plain sight, against the non-believers, which builds up to an action-packed climax where bin Laden is killed.

2012: A Breakthrough Year for the 911 Truth Movement

So what really happened? Few 9/11 researchers have any doubt that the use of subpoena powers on certain individuals in the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon and air traffic control would get the answer pretty fast.

(LONDON) - 2012 was the year that doubts over the official story of the 9/11 attacks finally became firmly established in the corporate media in the US. Skeptics in the Muslim world gained a new voice at governmental level with the call by President Morsi of Egypt for a new independent 9/11 investigation.

In Italy Supreme Court President Francesco Imposimato said he would be petitioning the International Criminal Court to pursue an investigation into the possible involvement of rogue elements in Washington in the attacks.
