Charlie Sheen EXTREMELY POWERFUL Video Address To Obama, Demands Transparency, Truth On 911

A video that will change the world.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Extremely Powerful Video Message To Obama regarding the most important issue of our time. This follows the extensively sourced and referenced, open letter to President Obama explaining the incongruity of the official bogus 911 report, and irrefutable evidence of a massive cover up.

Sheen speaks on behalf of the families of the victims of the 911 attacks, demanding a response to their still unanswered questions about that day.

Sought After Pakistani Taliban Leader Mehsud May Be Dead

The death is unconfirmed, but militants say the Taliban is already holding a "shura" council to select Mehsud's replacement.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Military officials in Pakistan believe Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud may have been killed during a CIA missile strike.

Pakistani security officials report that Mehsud, his wife and bodyguards were killed on August 5th 2009 when an American drone aircraft attacked their location in the Zangar area in South Waziristan.

Saving Private Bergdahl

The one thing we all have to hope is that the Taliban treat him better than our own country has been treating its captives.

(BROOKLYN, N.Y.) - Let me say from the outset that I have the greatest sympathy for 23-year-old Bowe R. Bergdahl, the US soldier in Afghanistan who was captured and is being held by Taliban forces, and for his family, who must be going through a living hell worrying about what is going to happen to him.

But I’m willing to bet you that all of them are wishing, right now, that the US had not decided back in 2001 to begin a campaign of torture and murder against the Taliban fighters that it was capturing in Afghanistan, and against others that it has rounded up in the so-called War on Terror.

Bush Blunders Push New Iraq Civil War

Baghdad Regine, back by Iran, opposes top U.S. ally in the region with U.S. backed Army. BUSH BLUNDERS PUSH NEW IRAQI CIVIL WAR Kurds Ready to Fight to Regain Homeland Taken by Saddam and Baathists

(CLEVELAND, Ohio ) - When abandoned by every nation in the region, only the Kurds stood by America to overthrow Saddam. These were the same Kurds who had been slaughtered by Saddam after helping America in the first Gulf War.

President George H.W. Bush stepped aside and allowed Saddam to murder tens of thousands of Kurds, most women and children. This is the crime Saddam was executed for by Bush II, a crime facilitated by Bush I.

Violent Abortion Protesters and Taliban Bear Striking Similarities

The man accused of murdering an abortion doctor Sunday drove away from the crime scene in a powder blue sedan with a Jesus fish on the back.

(SALEM, Ore.) - I see no difference between abortion protesters who murder doctors, or support the act, and the Taliban. They're the same people on a different day in a different place.

Warriors and War-Makers: Reflections on Memorial Day 2009

America has done some things in its past of which I am not proud. It has done many more things, in my judgment, that merit praise.

(JACKSON, Miss.) - Memorial Day in the United States is a time for remembrance and reflection. We think of those who have served in our wars, remember in particular those who have died, and hold in our hearts the memories of those whose service and sacrifice have allowed Americans to celebrate our own lives.

This is as it should be, and most countries have similar holidays. Yet in the world in which we live, and whose conflicts are so much a part of our lives, we also need to look hard not only at our warriors, but also at our war-makers: those whose decisions send them into battle.

Bush`s `Smoking Gun` Witness Found Dead of `Apparent Suicide`

IndictBushNow.org files Freedom of Information Act lawsuit to get to the bottom of the story.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - "The cover-up of Bush-era crimes is taking a shocking but not unexpected turn. A fateful move has been made and it is certain to backfire."

A D.C. group anxious to indict Bush and Cheney for war crimes, alleges that Colin Powell used a prisoner's tortured and knowingly fabricated testimony to tell the United Nations that Iraq was helping al-Qaeda develop weapons of mass destruction to kill Americans. It was all a lie. Now the prisoner is dead from "apparent suicide".

Reverend Benny & Mister Sid`s At Your Service #44

Here's the latest edition in Salem's original cartoon series, found only on Salem-News.com.

(Salem) - If I write something about what a crime torture is, I get all sorts of people who can tell me why they believe torture is a reasonable thing.

If I write words about how Ron Paul is a great archeologist and the discoverer of the lost city of Atlantis at the bottom of Lake Michigan (soon to be revealed in its full splendor as global warming turns the once great lake into a mud flat), I hear the cry of "Foul!"

Conflict in Pakistan Displaces Tens of Thousands

UN agencies concerned over 'massive displacement' in Pakistan

(NORTH WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE, Pakist) - The United Nations agencies tasked with protecting refugee and children's rights today expressed deep concern over the “massive displacement” in north-west Pakistan caused by the widening armed conflict between Government forces and militants.

The provincial government estimates between 150,000 to 200,000 people have already arrived in safer areas of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) over the last few days, with another 300,000 already on the march or about to leave, according to the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).

Fusion Center Encourages Improper Investigations Of Lobbying Groups And Anti-War Activists

The ACLU has long warned that ambiguities regarding who controls these fusion centers and a complete lack of oversight over their intelligence activities would lead to violations like this.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - A Texas fusion center's "Prevention Awareness Bulletin" made public last night is the latest example of inappropriate police intelligence operations targeting political, religious and social activists for investigation.

The North Central Texas Fusion System bulletin states that it is "imperative for law enforcement officers to report" the activities of lobbying groups, Muslim civil rights organizations and anti-war protest groups in their areas.
