2009 Supreme Court Decisions: I know what you did last year

The Berkeley-Albany Bar Association actually had 40 lawyers show up for its monthly meeting at the La Rose bistro this month — and why not? The speaker’s topic was gonna be HOT. Yes, it’s time for BABA’s annual report on the doings of America’s highest court in the land — and as anyone who is not half-dead already knows, the Supreme Court has been up to all kinds of shenanigans this past year. Today’s report promised to be just as good as a soap opera. Plus we had a choice between... Read article

Cuba. Again. Still. Forever.

More than 50 years now it is. The propaganda and hypocrisy of the American mainstream media seems endless and unwavering. They can not accept the fact that Cuban leaders are humane or rational. Here’s the Washington Post of December 13 writing about an American arrested in Cuba: “The Cuban government has arrested an American citizen working on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development who was distributing cellphones and laptop computers to Cuban activists. … Under Cuban law … a Cuban citizen or a... Read article

A Rudderless Ship Of State

In Patrick Henry’s immortal “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” speech, he said, “[I]t is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth.” Never have Henry’s words been truer than they are today. For too long, good men have turned a blind eye to the obvious reality that America’s Ship of State has swerved significantly off course. In fact, it is no hyperbole to say that America’s Ship of State is completely rudderless... Read article

Israel is NOT and Never was a Democracy

“President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the U.S. are fully committed to a comprehensive peace in the Middle East,” US special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell told reporters following his latest meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas while in the Jordanian capital of Amman. Mitchell’s remarks come just a few days after President Obama said the U.S. administration had “overestimated” their ability to persuade the Israelis and Palestinians to resume “meaningful”... Read article

Depopulation by Government Edict

In 1922, Margaret Sanger wrote The Pivot of Civilization with an introduction by eugenicist H. G. Wells. The Rockefeller Foundation “enthusiastically supported the concept of ‘eugenics,’ which encourages the reproductive efforts of those deemed to have ‘good’ genes, while discouraging or stopping procreation by undesirables. But Rockefeller and others were anxious to go even further to mold America’s breeding patterns along evolutionary lines.” [1] John D. Rockefeller Jr., per the advice of Raymond B. Fosdick,... Read article

Charter, the Geneva Conventions, international terrorism, or other violations of international law. Res. 57 (Sep. 18, 1948) – Expresses deep shock at the assassination of the U.N.

The Holocaust Backfires

“Ynet reports:” Peres in Berlin, Netanyahu in Auschwitz, Lieberman in Budapest and Edelstein at the UN headquarters in New York all plan to attack the Goldstone report into the Gaza war on International Holocaust Day this Wednesday. Israel’s political echelon will once again try to divert attention from the fact that the Israeli crime is beyond comparison. Israeli Propaganda Minister Edelstein told Ynet before leaving for New York. “The connection between the Goldstone Report and the international... Read article

Torture Never Stopped Under Obama

“A year on, the [Obama] administration continues to look the other way when it comes to full disclosure of and remedy for human rights violations perpetrated by the U.S.A. in the name of countering terrorism.” – Amnesty International What is Torture? It can be physical or physchological, quick or unhurried. It implies lasting trauma unbefitting a human. The U.N. defines torture as: “ …any act by which severe pain or suffering, physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes... Read article

What? US Repent?

US, Citizens of the world’s Greatest Nation? “The universe is a moral realm, and every atom in all creation is God-created.  Men can never sidestep the religious and moral issues of life; they can blind themselves to them, and regularly do, but this is comparable to a blind man walking on high cliffs without even a cane in hand.” Dr. R. J. Rushdoony, “Sovereignty”. Losers are not popular.  Winners write glowing descriptions of victories while the detail of dissent is often lost.  Patriotism has surrounded... Read article

What’s Really Going On In Haiti?

People of goodwill everywhere are rightly sympathetic to the plight of hundreds of thousands of innocent Haitians in the aftermath of the terrible earthquake that rocked the island country. Private donations and volunteer efforts are pouring into Haiti from all over the globe–especially from the United States. This is a good thing, right? So, why am I troubled? Simply put, I cannot remember such an all-out “relief effort” by our nation’s military and government forces following a natural disaster... Read article

Fixing A Bad Supreme Court Decision

Sensible, intelligent Americans are furious over the recent Supreme Court 5-to-4-decision referred to as Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that struck down limits on corporate spending in presidential and congressional elections.  Those of us who wail against the corpocracy with its corruption of government could hardly believe that this decision could in any way be justified.  A major reaction has been a number of groups calling for a constitutional amendment to fix the problem. It helps to know that... Read article

The Shoa Must Go On

Last week saw Holocaust survivor Thomas Blatt, 82 give testimony at the trial of John Demjanjuk. Blatt stated that he still has nightmares about his time at the camp at Sobibor, “I go there in my dreams, they are so real. In them I am still there. I can’t get it out of my head. This is the price I paid for getting out.” Ukrainian born John Demjanjuk, 89, is accused by the Munich court of being an ‘accessory’* in the death of 27,900 Jews at the Sobibor camp while being a German POW. As it happens, the... Read article

How Liberals Strengthen the Right Wing

The Democrats look around, blindly, after losing their long-held Senate seat in Massachusetts, and with it their Senate super-majority. They wrongly blame the voters, or their “populist” opponent, but rarely themselves. The Democrats’ claim to be “shocked,” but this scenario is now too familiar in the U.S. two-party system — that corporate-owned game of political musical chairs. Just when it seemed that the Democrats could finally “do something” — since they had a year of super-majority status in the... Read article

Why is Nasrallah demonized in the western media?

An interview with Franklin Lamb, PhD… Mike Whitney — Are the Lebanese people grateful to Hezbollah for forcing Israel to retreat in the war of 2006? Franklin Lamb—I think in their hearts most Lebanese are indeed grateful and even proud that for the first time since the founding of the State of Israel Lebanon has been able to effectively resist its numerous aggressions. Certainly Hezbollah has plenty of detractors particularly among the American and to a lesser extent French supported right wing Phalangist... Read article

‘Christian’ Crusaders and Failures of Intelligence in the US Military

Thirty years ago, Glyn Bindon, the founder of Trijicon, a Michigan Defense contractor, instituted the practice of stamping references to New Testament Bible verses on combat rifle sights manufactured for the U.S. military. Trijicon has now released a statement that they will quit their three decades of practice and also provide the armed forces modification kits to remove the Scripture citations from the 300,000 telescoping sights already in use by the Marines, Army and which are being used to train Afghanistan troops. Beyond... Read article

The Truth About Abortion

Today marks the 37th anniversary of the infamous US Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision, which, in effect, legalized abortion-on-demand nationwide. The aftermath of this tragic ruling is the deaths of over 40 million (a very conservative number) innocent unborn babies. It is no hyperbole to say abortion is America’s holocaust. Think of it, every American citizen today, 37 years old or younger, has never known a country that respected and protected innocent human life in the womb. Put it another way: when Hitler’s... Read article
