Caught! Fox News Funding `Terror Mosque` at Ground Zero

Jon Stewart catches Fox News in the lie of the century.

(CINCINNATI ) - Jon Stewart demands that Americans stop watching Fox News as the only way to cut off the revenue stream to “these bad dudes.” The Kingdom Foundation, funder of the Ground Zero Mosque is run by Alwaleed bin Talal, largest shareholder in Fox News.

Fox News owner Alwaleed bin Talal, who, according to Fox News, has ties to terrorist organizations and the Iranian government, also owns, of course, Fox News and pays the salaries of those who say the man funding the Ground Zero Mosque is a terrorist.

Anatomy of Conspiracy Theory

A conspiracy need only be proved by “circumstantial evidence” even “if it violates the rules against hearsay evidence”

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Some may rationally ponder that how is it, that such a long running global conspiracy for world government as outlined in Project Humanbeingsfirst’s report “The Enduring Capitalist Conspiracy for World Government”, can be kept alive across centuries and across geographies. This brief paper examines that question.

Noam Chomsky had once observed an insightful nature of such “conspiracies”, as the open shared natural goals stemming from the very nature of its definition, which could therefore, no more be termed a conspiracy than both GM and Ford endeavoring to maximize their profits at all cost be termed a ‘global corporate conspiracy’.

9/11 Planners Confess on Network Television

For our friends who still don't get it.

(CINCINNATI ) - How can a nation like the United States be duped into two wars and total bankruptcy? It would be one thing if the “truth” about 9/11 was internet conspiracy theory. This isn’t the case. It was all right there in everyone’s living room.

They fooled us once and then fooled us again and again. Yes, America has some tail to kick but this time, maybe we should make sure our boot goes up the right rear end for a change.

Open Letter to the Panorama BBC Team

Our motives were honourable, we did it for the children of Gaza...

(DUBLIN) - Nobel Peace Laureate Malread Maguire is one of the most respected world voices in the fight for the human rights of Palestinian people, who have lived for generations, under the oppression of Israel's apartheid laws.

We published a recent article detailing the most recent attempt by the BBC to defend Israel's attack on the vessel Mavi Marmara that took place in International Waters against an unarmed crew.

Bin Laden is Dead; Long Live `Bin Laden`

Who’s keeping the terror myth alive?

(OSAKA, Japan) - In the trigger-happy post-9/11 world, the favoured way to instigate a war is to demand that the designated “evildoer” prove a negative.

Iraq was invaded because it couldn’t prove that it didn’t have WMDs. Iran is under constant threat of attack unless it can demonstrate that it’s not seeking nuclear weapons. And now Pakistan is being chastised for allegedly harbouring Osama bin Laden—who in all probability has been dead and buried for eight years.

Who is More Guilty of Monumental War Crimes:
the Prime-Movers or Trigger Pullers?

The system is not only broken, it was crippled at birth.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - There is something inherently gone wrong in a nation when its brightest and most moral peoples become inexplicably limited in their conceptionalization of the social discourse, and their moral discourse.

But of course, even Noam Chomsky is afraid of the charge otherwise, of 'conspiracy theorist', for even he, as “arguably the most important intellectual alive”, prefers to assert that a monk in the Hindu Kush orchestrated 911.

Isolating Iran is part of the `Great Energy Game`: Antony Loewenstein

Antony Loewenstein’s articles on Iran, Israel and Middle East current affairs have appeared on the Guardian, Washington Post, Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian.

(TEHRAN) - The Middle East is witness to continuous developments these days.

One is Iran’s active diplomacy to attract the indispensable 118-member bloc of non-aligned countries to support its nuclear program, another is the growing isolation of Israel in European countries and within academic circles in the U.S.

Boston Brakes: No Skidmarks in the Sky

"Boston Brakes" Assassination Technique becomes big "problem solver".

( CINCINNATI) - I had never heard of “Boston Brakes” until two days ago. I had been on the Kevin Barrett radio show yesterday, discussing, among other things, the endless ways to gain control of an aircraft and plow it into a building, something I had been briefed on by my Air Force buddies.

There are a dozen ways to gain control of a plane, in fact, the more “fly by wire” a plane is, the more ways to control it remotely.

The original program was just under one hour, and has been edited into six parts.

(ASPEN, Colo.) - This set of six video clips covers an almost taboo controversy to do with freedom of speech. In the discussion, I stress the ethical and logical need for history to be open to revision.

Participants were Gilad Atzmon, Harvie Branscome, who was the program Moderator, Steve Kaufman the founder and director of Access Roaring Fork (accessrf.org/) and Michael Conniff of KUUR-FM in Aspen, Colorado.
