British Jews Support Israeli War Crimes

The Jewish community in Britain seems to be over the moon. A survey that was published a few days ago suggests that British Jews are nothing but  ‘peace lovers’. The Guardian was also quick to report that  77% of “British Jews favour a ‘two-state solution’ in Israel”. In practice, this actually means that at least 77% of British Jews believe that millions of dispossessed Palestinians should continue to dwell in refugee camps and never be allowed to their  homes, cities, and villages. I am actually... Read article

The U.S. Military Moves Into Costa Rica

Nestled between Panama to its south and Nicaragua to its north, Costa Rica is a Central American nation roughly the size of Rhode Island. If another nation were to send Rhode Island a force of 7,000 troops, 200 helicopters, and 46 warships in an effort to eradicate drug trafficking, it is doubtful that the residents of Rhode Island would consider this offer “on-the-level.” Such a massive military force could hardly be efficiently used to combat drug cartels. The only logical conclusion is that the nation whose... Read article

Give History a Chance

A talk given at the “Debunking the War on Terror” Symposium on July 14th The War on Terror Within 1 The more pain we inflict on others the more we become familiar with evil, aggression and brutality. 1.1  The more cruel we are towards others, the more devastated we are by the possibility that  the subjects of our brutality may also be as nasty as we happen to be. 1.2   According to Freud this is what projection is all about. 1.2.1 Otto Weininger refines it, ‘we hate in others, that which we don’t... Read article

Fury of HELL Denied

“I greatly fear that the denial of the eternity of future punishment is one wave of an incoming sea of infidelity.” Charles H. Spurgeon If you read beyond the above quote, prepare to be challenged. Either that, or you will continue in your denial. In post-modern churches, you’re not likely to hear much about the eternal Hell that awaits all of us. Right up front, God does not want you to go to the Hell he has prepared for those who reject Him. (2 Peter 3:9) Up until the mid-19th century, warnings of Hell and God’s... Read article

What’s Your Beef with Illegal Immigration?

Immigration, Reconsidered… While the Obama administration has chosen the southern side in the Mexican-Arizonan border war, most Americans stand with their countrymen.  They are troubled by the strain illegals place on services, the drugs and thugs moving north and blue-collar job prospects moving south.  Then there is another factor: the political and cultural one. It’s well known that, should amnesty be granted to the 12 to 30 million illegals living among us, Barack Obama and his fellow travelers would... Read article

The Fed is Steering the Economy into Deflation

The Fed is steering the economy into deflation. It’s a political calculation that will keep unemployment high, increase excess capacity, and deepen the recession. C.P.I. continues to fall, bank lending is down 4 percent year-over-year, housing prices are slipping, business investment is off, and consumer credit continues to shrink. On Wednesday, the Commerce Dept reported that retail sales fell 0.5 percent, more than analysts expected. This is the second drop in retail purchases in the last two months signaling... Read article

Anger in Costa Rica over deal to ‘invite’ 46 US warships in the war on Drugs

By Daniel Tencer | rawstory.com… Costa Ricans suspect ‘ulterior motive’ in permitting large numbers of US troops. Opposition leaders in Costa Rica are up in arms over an agreement between the country and the United States that reportedly allows 46 US warships and 7,000 US Marines to enter the country as part of an anti-drug effort. According to several Costa Rican news sources, the government there signed an agreement with the US last week to extend an 11-year-old cooperative program aimed at eradicating... Read article

Fix the Economy?

We Have Know-how… There are remedies for recession, and the remedies are well known. But fixing the economy requires special medicine, fiscal stimulus, and if the patient does not take the medicine, he will not improve. It’s not enough to have the medicine sitting on one’s nightstand. It must be ingested before recovery can begin. Opponents of stimulus say that it doesn’t work. But before Obama launched his $787 billion recovery program, the economy was shedding 750,000 jobs per month for 6 consecutive... Read article

Gulf Oil Gusher: Methane, Climate & Dead Zones

By DK Matai… Gas and Methane Levels At Record As much as one million times the normal level of methane is showing up near the Gulf of Mexico oil gusher, enough potentially to create dead zones in the water. “These are higher levels than we have ever seen at any other location in the ocean itself,” according to sources cited by Reuters. The “flow team” of the US Geological Survey estimates that 2,900 cubic feet of natural gas, which primarily contains methane, is being released into the Gulf... Read article

The Genocide Myth

The Uses and Abuses of “Srebrenica” On July 11, the constituent nations of Bosnia-Herzegovina — no longer warring, but far from reconciled — will mark the 15th anniversary of “Srebrenica.” The name of the eastern Bosnian town will evoke different responses from different communities, however. The difference goes beyond semantics. The complexities of the issue remain reduced to a simple morality play devoid of nuance and context. That is exactly how the sponsors of the “Srebrenica Remembrance... Read article

A Banana Republic Ripe for a Coup d’état

“There is a frustration too, that at moments when there’s not a coup, when there are not people in the streets, that the country disappears from people’s consciousness.” ~ Edwidge Danticat The Disunited States of America is no longer a country of national union. From the inception of the U.S. Constitution, factions continually vied for power. Yet there was a blueprint of basic precepts generally accepted as the law of the land. The appearance of legitimacy was shattered a century and half ago,... Read article

Corporations gone wild (as Jefferson warned us)

Today we live in historic times, and I don’t mean that in a good way. First of all, we are suffering the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And why? Because the financial industry was permitted to run amok. Under the relaxed regulations of the Reagan and Clinton administrations, the banks did not prove themselves trustworthy to do the right thing for the economy and for the customers they served. They only cared about profits. Alan Greenspan himself admitted that he had “put too much faith... Read article

Has BP Triggered A World-Killing Event?

By Terrence Aym… Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical proportions. 251 million years ago a mammoth undersea methane bubble caused massive explosions, poisoned the atmosphere and destroyed more than 96 percent of all life on Earth. [1] Experts agree that what is known as the Permian extinction event was the greatest mass extinction event in the history of the world. [2] 55 million years later... Read article

Harriet Beecher Stowe Has Set The Model For Christian Activism For Our Times

“Father, what if thee should get found out again?” said Simeon second as he buttered his cake. “I should pay my fine,” said Simeon quietly. “But what if they put thee in prison?” “Couldn’t thee and mother manage the farm?” said Simeon smiling. “Mother can do almost everything,” said the boy. “But isn’t it a shame to make such laws?” “Thee mustn’t speak evil of thy rulers, Simeon,” Said his father gravely. “The Lord only gives us our worldly goods that we may do justice... Read article

Futility, or the “Wreck of the Titan” : Remarkable similarities between fiction and real life

From: Wikipedia.org… Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan was an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Although the novel was written before the Olympic-class Titanic had even been designed, there are some remarkable similarities between the fictional and real-life... Read article
