Are White Racists a Threat to U.S. Security?

"Timothy McVeigh could happen any day, any week" - Bart McEntire, former ATF Special Agent

(SALEM, Ore.) - Are racist white Americans a threat to the country's security? Experts say the answer is yes. Last spring a federal report cautioned that Rightwing extremists are now, "The most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States.

A pair of filmmakers took their camera inside the white nationalist movement to investigate. The results are chilling.

A New Decade

Every decade, every year, and every day this should be the light that guides us as we strive to craft our more perfect union.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - If you have read any of the many op-ed reflections on the first decade of the new millennium, the reviews are less than positive. The arm chair commentators are not necessarily wrong.

These past ten years have witnessed many grotesque spectacles: the War on Terror, extraordinary degradations of the democratic process and the rule of law, new lows for industry, and new highs for corruption and fraud in business and government.

The Chilcot Inquiry: Britain`s 9/11 Commission

There will be no inquiry into the role of Zionist insiders in taking Britain to war against Iraq, a country that posed a threat not to British interests but to Israel's regional hegemony.

(TOKYO) - All too often, official inquiries are conducted by the very people who should themselves be under investigation. In this respect, Britain's Chilcot Inquiry on the Iraq war bears a distressing similarity to the 9/11 Commission.

In a remarkable symmetry, both inquiries involve a Jewish Zionist historian, who not only advised his country's leader to go to war against Iraq, but actually provided the ideological justification for that unnecessary war.

Afghanistan: Photo Journal is a Flashback to Circa 1970

I have been showing these to people for years and thought I should just publish them so everyone can have an idea what Afghanistan looked like before three decades of war.

(KABUL/SALEM) - When I was in Afghanistan covering the war during the winter of 2006/2007, I heard about a set of photographs showing Kabul and other parts of this war torn country in a more peaceful time, probably around 1970.

When these photos were taken, Afghanistan was a Communist country and religion was suppressed.

Could Terror War be a Response by GOP and Israel Against Threats to Their Global Plans?

Don't miss this developing story...

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - When nothing adds up, it's time we starting looking at what we know. Our recent terrorist, now dubbed "the crotch bomber" is another dupe. He could have been working for anyone, drugged, brainwashed or simply influenced, maybe by crazy Arabs, maybe by the Mossad, maybe by the CIA. We only know the game is falling apart.

Xe, Formerly Blackwater, Poses Biggest Threat to Pakistan`s Nukes

Is America out to hurt her trusted ally?

(LONDON) - Lawyers from the local bar associations protested outside the 'secret base' of US mercenaries (Xe/Blackwater) inside the ‘Sehala’ Police Training College, a few miles from the Kahuta Nuclear Plant. Why did Pakistani media ignore the story?

As the propaganda that Pakistani nukes are likely to fall into the hands of the Taliban continues in the American press, one wonders what might be the U.S. intent. Seen in the light that American mercenaries have become overt operationally, it appears that the intent is to use them to ‘lift’ the Pak Nukes using the threat from the Taliban as an excuse.

Wyden to Holbrooke: Cutting Taliban Funding is Essential to Success in Afghanistan

Letter Calls for Expanded Efforts to Stop Saudi Arabian Funding of Terrorist Organizations.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - As the U.S. prepares to ramp up troop levels in Afghanistan and bring that war to a close, Senator Ron Wyden calls for turning attention to the illicit funding streams that are propping up the Taliban’s ability to remain a threat to U.S. troops and the Afghan people.

In a letter dated December 21, Wyden asked for greater investigation into private donors and charities in Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf countries that have long been a funding source for the Taliban rivaling even the illicit drug trade.

America Needs Pakistan`s Help -- Again

First Installment in a 5 Part Series.

(TEMPE, Az.) - Ordinary Americans need the assistance of Islamabad now more than at any time in the past six decades. That aid lies not in combating “Islamo fascism” but in countering the influence inside the U.S. of Israeli war-planners known for their expertise at provoking extremism.

To grasp what must be done requires a review of three related developments. First is a policy-making legacy from the era of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
