by Gareth Porter, September 30, 2009

The U.S. Creeps Closer to a Police State
by Shamus Cooke
When word first arrived that the G-20 would be meeting in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, activists began organizing protest demonstrations. Events like this are what freedom of speech is made for. What better occasion to protest than a meeting of the world’s 20 top leaders — most of them deservedly hated — where they will be imposing policy on billions of people worldwide?
The majority of protesters consisted of labor and community groups; they… Continue

By Sibel Edmonds and Philip Giraldi

September 20, 2009
One of the strongest opponents of government intervention in reforming the health care industry is Ron Paul — a Republican congressman from Texas.

How Israel silenced its Gaza war protesters
By Akiva Eldar, Haaretz Correspondent
A new report from Adalah shows how the courts and police attempted to stamp out opposition to Operation Cast Lead "This is a time of war, and every incident harms the people's morale."
This was not a sentence in a right-wing journal, but rather a statement by an Israel Police representative during Operation Cast Lead seeking to persuade the Tel Aviv District Court to block anti-war protesters from the city.
