Addressing the Lies Spread about Gilad

Direct from the source: Gilad Atzmon takes on his critics.

(LONDON) - For more than a decade and a half I have been subjected to a relentless and sometimes violent smear campaign. I have been accused of all sorts of ‘hate crimes’ including the totally ludicrous claim that I advocate the ‘burning of synagogues', 'incitements of violence', and have routinely been labelled, among other slurs, a ‘notorious anti-semite’ and a ‘Holocaust denier’.

Of course, if any of these accusations had merit, I would have spent time behind bars.

On the Impeachment Inquiry

The whistle-blower complaint appears to be the tipping point.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump boasted, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters, okay?” He mimicked firing a gun with his fingers, “It’s, like, incredible.”

We now know how prescient he was.

Another Bat Tested Positive for Rabies

Bats are the most common carriers of rabies in Oregon.

(MARION COUNTY, Ore.) - A rabid bat was found in the Breitenbush area of Marion County and public health officials are warning area residents to take precautions.

Do not approach bats, wildlife, or other mammals seen exhibiting odd behavior.

Chainsaws Aren`t Only Dangerous in Horror Movies

Approximately 36,000 people are injured by chainsaws annually.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - It’s the stuff of horror movies—the villain chasing teenagers through the dark woods, brandishing a chainsaw.

But nothing is scarier than the statistics on chainsaw use. While chainsaws can be a useful tool to trim, prune, or remove trees, 36,000 people are injured by them in the U.S. every year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Think big.... dreams do come true!

Our motto is respect: for ourselves, for others, and for nature.

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - We just celebrated Easter in the Holy Land and we look with anticipation to Ramadan. While many of us are not religious, we do recognize the value of these “traditions” to social fabric in our society.

Tradition and culture actually has much more nuance and mix than meets the eye. Easter is Ishtar and fertility holiday and Passover is not a historical event but based on earlier mythologies of Gods and redemption.

Impostor Lures Activist to Israeli Police Sting

An interview with Frank Romano conducted by renowned documentary film director Guy Davidi.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Romano, eager to publicize the struggle for survival of Khan al Ahmar, agreed to a meeting. Unfortunately, the people he trusted were actually Israeli agents.

It was a trap!

As soon as the interview had begun, standing in front of the village of “Al Khan al Ahmar” with the impostor journalist, 4-5 Israeli police cars drove up and arrested Romano

Q: Why is Corbyn so Important?

Exposing the political crisis that is splitting America apart

(LONDON) - A: For the same reasons that President Trump has been a significant political development.

These two post-political characters bring to the surface what has been suppressed for decades: we are subject to foreign occupation. We the people, are reduced to mere consumers and our so-called ‘elected politicians’ are a bunch of detached, compromised actors.

Elk Herd Makes a Grand Showing in Grand Ronde

Oregon’s big game are managed by wildlife management

(GRAND RONDE VALLEY, Ore.) - An estimated 700 elk crossing Red Pepper Road in the Grande Ronde Valley on Sunday, March 3.

March is always the most challenging month for big game trying to survive the winter—even more so this year due to the prolonged winter and heavy snow last month (with even more snow and freezing temperatures forecast!).

The Gaza War, Congress and International Humanitarian Law

This month marks the tenth anniversary of a devastating three-week Israeli military campaign on the Gaza Strip.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - This article of mine from 2010 details how large bipartisan majorities in Congress went on record unconditionally defending the Israeli assault that killed hundreds of civilians.

They blamed the death and destruction exclusively on the Palestinians, attacked the credibility of prominent international jurists and other human rights investigators who documented war crimes by both sides, and made a series of demonstrably false statements in order to defend the slaughter.
