Ratzinger’s Swan Song

It’s Time for the Pope to Go… Pope Benedict should do everyone a favor and resign. By sticking around, he’s just dragging the church through the mud and making matters worse. Who does he think he’s fooling anyway? Everyone knows that he was involved in the sex-scandal cover up. Does he really think that he can make amends by just issuing a few feeble apologies? He was in charge; that means he needs to “man up” and face the music. Why make a bigger deal out of it than necessary? Benedict’s... Read article

Samson and the 2nd Nakba

A Short Study of the Jewish Hercules… As much as many of us enjoyed watching the humiliation of Israel and PM Netanyahu in Washington this week, I am reluctant to suggest that the emerging crisis between America and Israel may also be a red light warning  for all of us. The current crisis may  lead to some devastating consequences as far as Palestine, Iran and the Middle East are concerned. “Netanyahu and Obama are at a point of no return” claims Haaretz writer Akiva Eldar. “As far as President Barack... Read article

Might Makes Right

The Theology of Wishful Thinking… “who overcomes by force hath overcome but half his foe.”  John Milton A blog entitled “Palestine End Game” begins with these sentences: “If this means anything, it is that the situation continues to fester.  I am always hesitant to comment on the conflict centered in the historic Levant, if only because so many have strong feelings and no end of a historic sense of grievance”.  “Historic Levant” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levant is a non-specific term referred... Read article

9/11 Reconstruction: Mental Before Physical

The failure to rebuild the World Trade Center site in Manhattan has received endless attention.  But public anger about this failed reconstruction should not been seen so negatively.  After all, mental reconstruction has also still not been successful and is surely more needed, with too many Americans still accepting the official government story about 9/11.  This, despite a huge amount of compelling evidence that elements of the US government played some role, despite a very large, active 9/11 truth movement,... Read article

Totalitarian Collectivism: Part 4 – FAMILY

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” ~ Rev. Theodore Martin Hesburgh The basic unit of society within Western civilization is the family. Inexorably founded upon the pillars of European heritage, the American Saga is the legacy of the family society. The esteemed professor Kevin MacDonald states that a primary characteristic of that history is “A tendency toward simple family structure based on the nuclear family.” He further concludes: “This... Read article

It is Their Land and it’s all about The Land!

“Land Day” commemorates the killing of six Palestinians, 96 wounded and 300 arrested on March 30, 1976, in the Galilee. The anticipated peaceful demonstration by Palestinians was a response to Israeli authorities that had announced the confiscation of 5,500 acres of their land which Israel classified as “closed military zones” for “security and settlement purposes.” At a March 27, 2010, rally in the village of Izbet Al-Tabeeb, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad marked “Land Day” by calling... Read article

In death row case, Supreme Court came through but Texas remains guilty

On March 24, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay of execution for Texas death row inmate Hank Skinner. The stay will allow the Court more time to consider Skinner’s civil rights claim that he is entitled to DNA testing which he believes will prove his innocence. The news came just one hour before Skinner was to be strapped to the gurney. While this is certainly a relief, it does nothing to address the underlying fact that the authorities in Texas were ready and eager to execute Skinner without testing the available... Read article

Overpopulation in 21st Century America: America-Quality of Life in an Overcrowded World

Part 7: Quality of life, big cities, crowding, gridlock, human spirit My friend John Muir, the first environmentalist, said many years ago, “Tell me what you will of the benefactions of city civilization, of the sweet security of streets—all as part of the natural up-growth of man towards the high destiny we hear so much of.  I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found.   If the death exhalations that brood the broad towns in which we so fondly compact... Read article

Up Next: Open Gays In The Military And Amnesty For Illegals

Fresh off his health care reform victory, President Barack Obama will quickly move to overturn the DOD’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy prohibiting sodomites from serving openly in the US military. He will also move to grant amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. These are Obama’s next two agenda items, as he attempts to fulfill his campaign promise to “remake America.” Already the Pentagon has opened the door for women to serve alongside men aboard submarines, something the Navy has never allowed–for... Read article

Mommy, Mommy! Why Am I Fat?

Malnutrition comes in a delightful assortment of colorful flavors nowadays. But poverty and obesity are a correlation that Americans find hard to swallow. “Genetics and family history can predict whether you will become obese but then so can your ZIP code,” says Adam Drewnowski, world-renowned leader in innovative research approaches for the prevention and treatment of obesity, and Director of the Nutritional Sciences Program at the University of Washington in Seattle. In December of 2003, Drewnowski said,... Read article

The Chicanery of the Democratic Party Foxes

A rotten, poisonous, stinking pie is far worse than no pie at all. Yet, this is precisely what the corporate Democratic Party and corporate “news” media have repeatedly forced down the throats of the ‘American’ people, cloaked in the deceptive rhetoric of “change” and “reform.” The Democratic Party foxes and the Republican Party wolves are not in the least bit interested in breaking their insidious feeding frenzy... Read article

Judea declares War on Obama

Last week we read about AIPAC’s assault against President Obama. It was reported that the Jewish Lobby in America  took its gloves off. In the open, AIPAC decided to mount pressure on the American leadership and President Obama in particular. “The Obama administration’s recent statements regarding the U.S. relationship with Israel is a matter of serious concern,” AIPAC said in its statement. AIPAC’s reaction came after a weekend of U.S. recriminations and demands, following Israel’s provocative... Read article

Dates That Destroyed America

Passage of the so-called “health care reform” bill in the House of Representatives this past Sunday, March 21 (I won’t even address the inferred unconstitutionality of Congress doing business on the Lord’s Day. See Article. I. Section. 7. Paragraph. 2.) drove yet another stake into the heart of America. For all intents and purposes, it is the health of the United States that is in dire need of healing. In fact, the US has been on extended life-support for decades. With its condition being rendered critical,... Read article

Anti-Semitism – What is it?

Several of us among the incurably curious asked ourselves a simple question: what is anti-Semitism? That it must be written with a capital “S” says a lot. Then we realized it also morphs. To that feature I can attest. In November 2002, I met a “John Doe” in London who proposed a research challenge. While meeting that challenge, I encountered various versions of anti-Semitism. A colleague advised against this challenge. First he fretted at the criminal nature of what the research has since confirmed. Then he... Read article

Overpopulation in 21st Century America: Accelerated Poisoning of our World

Part 6: Farm pollution, pig pollution, incinerator pollution, plastics “What you don’t know won’t hurt you,” my grandfather used to tell me. “Leave well enough alone and you’ll get along better in this world.” That sage advice used to work back in the 20th century, but not today. None of us can take for granted in the 21 st century that others, in responsible positions, will do the right thing by all of us. After reading Part 5 of this series, countless Americans could not... Read article

Obama’s Bloody War in Juarez

“The war on drugs has always been a pretext for political repression and social control.” Alexander Cockburn Last Saturday, a US consulate employee and his pregnant wife were gunned down in their SUV in Ciudad Juarez while their seven month old baby watched from the backseat. Just minutes later, another consulate employee was killed at point-blank range in the northern part of the city. Both shootouts took place in broad daylight and were executed with robotic precision. It was clearly the work of professionals. The... Read article
