Terrorism Isn`t Real

Why your government may murder you for profit.

(CINCINNATI) - Terrorism isn’t real. This is a broad generalization but essentially correct. My own estimate, as a “big name” counter-terrorism expert is that 95% of acts we call “terrorism” were done by governments for profit.

Were it not for the dissolution of the free press and secret prisons and mental hospitals for whistleblowers, we wouldn’t have terrorism. Which government? You choose. Of late, Israel has the lead but the US and Russia aren’t far behind. Then we have France and Britain.

Mainstream Media keeps al-Qaeda Myth Alive

“Who’s going to object to referring to the Sunni insurgency in post-war Iraq as yet another attack by al-Qaeda?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - While surfing the morning news, Most people would indifferently glance at this headline “Al-Qaida in Iraq says it was behind Baghdad blasts” but would fail to grasp the real story behind it.

But then, how could they not when the story is presented to them with such a deceiving title to begin with.

Americans will be transferred to foreign prisons under Indefinite Detention act

“These provisions are inconsistent with the liberties and freedoms that are at the core of the system our Founders established...” Senator Al Franken.

(MOSCOW RT) - If you’re upset that congressional approval of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 can send you away to military prisons and be tortured in America, don’t worry — it could be worse.

The US could send you somewhere else. No, really. They could. And they can. Anywhere else, too. Really.

Terrorists Kill People

This is a fundamental issue, it is time to examine the government's use of a killer buzz word that can strip you of your rights as an American.

(SALEM) - Strange title I know, but we're in strange times. Terrorism is the use of terror in attacking or controlling a perceived enemy. Terrorism is understood by some people on some levels, but by and large it has been used to describe anyone who refuses to accept oppression, and fights back.

Those who the developed nations brand "terrorist" are almost always poor; they generally are getting the hell blasted out of them by U.S. made weapons and they violently resist with whatever they can place their hands on.

The Last and Gloomy Pages of Egypt`s Revolution

“Take away fear, and the battle of Freedom is half won” – William Ralph Inge: The End of an Age

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Thomas Merton said, “The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt”.

Perhaps this time period best defines that statement, and it is likely Egypt's weathered attempt to shed tyranny and secure a future with liberty, is going to be the new definition.

US: Congressional Candidate Turns Himself In for Indefinite Military Detention

The right of people to defend themselves and their land, by any means necessary, against a foreign aggressor, is THE most fundamental human right.

(SUNDANCE, Wyoming) - As someone who could be said to “substantially support al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces,” I am writing to turn myself in under the new NDAA law.

Please send a US military brigade, preferably the Marines (semper fi, guys!) to indefinitely detain me.

The Pending Second U.S. Revolution?

The cops will push too far and somebody is going to fire back.

(SALEM) - It seems inevitable that Americans will soon be engaged in a revolutionary war the likes of which has never been imagined, and I say the 99% will win, and the government will lose. Of the people, by the people, for the people...

In spite of all the technology and military hardware, the government is vastly outnumbered by the people and if it has to be anarchy, then so be it, because the government is not America, the people who comprise this country are.

Santa-Jeff Feltman Delivers his Annual Yuletide Gifts to Lebanon

As Jeffrey Feltman makes his rounds by relying on the outdated idea that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and that the sky is falling, Jeffrey gets stuck in a chimney so to speak.

(SOUTH BEIRUT, Lebanon) - Over the past few years, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman has sledded into Lebanon bearing gifts during the Yuletide season more regularly than Santa Clause.

Yet, as happened yesterday, he somehow manages to finish his gift giving and lift off to continue his rounds as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

The Actual Victims Toll of 9/11

“Saddam never had any weapons of mass destruction but nevertheless, with the American invasion of Iraq, the Iraqis were destined to experience what it really meant to be bombarded with such weapons.”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - It is still one of my most vivid memories ever, as I’m sure it is for many others. …

The planes crashing into the towers, the hysteria and the blunders of the mainstream media, the initial silence and ineptness of the white house, and people all over the world glued to their TVs as they watched in amazement the towers of the world trade center collapse like a house of cards on September, 9, 2001.

Genetically Modified Crops - Contamination without Representation

If Oregon allows GM sugar beets to be deregulated, we may not stand a chance against full federal deregulation of all GM crops.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A public hearing is being held in Corvallis, Oregon this Thursday, November 17th to determine if Genetically Modified sugar beets will be deregulated in Oregon.

Meanwhile, the public comment period maybe just a local distraction giving way to full federal deregulation without any representation of organic and conventional crop farmers.
