Petition Group Aids Man Facing Deportation

Justice is increasingly lacking in America.

(WASHINGTON D.C .) - The Care2 Petition site already has almost ten thousand signatures in their effort to aid a man named Walter, who came to the United States when he was just three years old.

At 23, Walter was nabbed by federal authorities and held in a detention facility for nearly three weeks. Now he faces deportation.

Members of C-130 Crew Recovered From Vietnam War

Since late 1973, the remains of 927 Americans killed in the Vietnam War have been accounted-for and returned to their families.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of nine U.S. servicemen, missing in action from the Vietnam War, have been accounted-for and returned to their families for burial with full military honors.

On May 22, 1968, these men were aboard a C-130A Hercules on an evening flare mission over northern Salavan Province, Laos. Fifteen minutes after the aircraft made a radio call, the crew of another U.S. aircraft observed a large ground fire near the last known location of Mason’s aircraft.

PTSD, PTSD, PTSD, Continued: Battle Veterans Cruel Deadly Plague: Alcoholism is the Result

The VA is still not taking proper care of any PTSD Vets of all wars. Alcoholism is killing hundreds of thousands because VA drugs have bad side effects and are not tolerable.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I had heard of SHELL SHOCK and BATTLE FATIGUE which are “waste basket diagnoses” even before I went into the WWII Army.

In 1943, I even read that there were about 15% “”Battle Neurosis” casualties in America’s invasion of N. Africa. The Army even sent a medical doctor Brigadier General to N. Africa to investigate...

Muslim Author Agron Belica Says the Prophet Yahya Was Not Celibate

“The Quran does not support the celibacy of the prophet Yahya,” says Belica.

(BOSTON) - For centuries, Muslims have assumed that John the Baptist (Yahya), like Jesus, never married or sired children.

This is in accordance with Christian tradition, but, Belica argues, there is no cogent reason for Muslims to accept this belief. On the contrary, he says, this view of Yahya is inconsistent with the text of the Quran.

Alliance for Zero Extinction and the Convention on Biological Diversity Join Forces

The United States participated in the treaty’s development but has not ratified it.

(WASHINGTON D.C .) - Two of the world’s premier institutions promoting biodiversity conservation are entering into a partnership through a new cooperative agreement to prevent species extinctions and maintain ecosystems and habitats at key sites for endangered species.

The Convention on Biological Diversity is the international legal instrument adopted in 1992 to sustain the diversity of life on Earth.

The Crucifixion of Kindness

I guess that Christians and Muslims will be shocked and outraged to find out that Yesh’u (יש"ו), the Hebrew name for Jesus, is an abbreviation that translates: "May his name and memory be blotted out"*.

(LONDON) - Panic is detected in Israel. Strategic affairs minister, Moshe Boogi Ya'alon who served as acting PM during last week's massacre on the high seas said yesterday that “someone failed to prepare a standard operating procedure.”

A senior IDF official was quick to respond "If there wasn't a standard operating procedure, why didn't he make sure there was one. He was the acting prime minister and it was his responsibility.”

The Real Threat Aboard the Freedom Flotilla

The Freedom Flotilla defied Israel's policy of blocking solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict based on international decisions, and so it had to be crushed.

(CHICAGO) - Israel’s violent attack on the Freedom Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza shocked the world. Hijacking boats in international waters and killing passengers is, of course, a serious crime.

But the crime is nothing new. For decades, Israel has been hijacking boats between Cyprus and Lebanon and killing or kidnapping passengers, sometimes holding them hostage in Israeli prisons.

Israel`s Lifting of Gaza Blockade Means Junk Food, But No Cement to Rebuild Damaged Buildings

The marginal easement is a step in the right direction, but a very small one.

(JERUSALEM) - Israel has allowed some previously banned food items into the Gaza Strip, taking a small step toward easing its three-year-old blockade of the territory after worldwide criticism of last week’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound international flotilla.

The decision only narrowly expands the list of goods that can enter Gaza — and most of the newly permitted items are already being smuggled into the area from neighboring Egypt.

`REMEMBER THE LIBERTY`? An Anniversary Day Apology

A 39th Anniversary of Israel's attack on the U.S.S warship Liberty.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Remember the Liberty: the pathetic battlecry of an Israeli occupied nation of ignorant, lazy, cornfed Zionist collaborators ---- like the French during WWII ---- at most the pitiful whining of "free press" media eunuchs and Quisling officials who haven't a free instinct in their entire being?

"REMEMBER THE U.S.S. LIBERTY"? Fat chance!
