North Koreans` Fear of Freedom

“Could freedom turn into a burden that makes some of us choose to relinquish it, and instead lead a life of submission?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Thousands gathered in snow-bound streets for the huge funeral procession of leader Kim Jong-Il in Pyongyang.

As the hearse passed, I suddenly realized that the real problem of North Korea lies not in its unmonitored nuclear capabilities, but rather in its people and in their ostensible fear of freedom.

Urging Obama to Stop Rush to Iran War

War propaganda against Iran floods America's political scene; ex-CIA analysts Ray McGovern and Elizabeth Murray urge President Obama to stop it.

Attack Persia... and We'll Break America in Two

(SALEM) - The seemingly inevitable war with Iran that warmongers are calling for must be something we all deserve- as the human cretins who have ruined this planet with ways of war and violence.

A Council on Foreign Relations article lacks transparency and impartiality...

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - he council on foreign relations, one of the think tanks seen as a major contributor to the forecasting of the White House foreign policies, has lately published an opinion piece that says “Time to attack Iran”.

In the piece the council downplays the fears of many skeptics who envision the perilous consequences of an attack on Iran tantamount to a WWIII scenario, and therefore refuse to subscribe to a preemptive strike of its nuclear facilities.

The warmongers want another war, and its close

It appears that pro war forces have now realized they cannot produce any smoking nuclear gun, for there is none.

US silent war, loud weapons on Iran

The US silent war with Iran is no longer silent. It is gradually becoming loud and deafening.

(TEHRAN) - From silent war to loud weapons, from covert operations to overt operations, the US government has resorted and will resort to any possible means in an effort to incapacitate a nation whose sin is the very nature of its policy of no submission to force.

In line with its silent war with Iran, a US court in Manhattan made a mockery of justice, issued a default judgment against Iran, and accused Tehran of being involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks...
