Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) said at a press briefing following a closed-door meeting with Defense Department officials on Tuesday that the Obama administration is not cooperating in a full and timely way with the congressional probe into the deadly attack at Fort Hood Army base that killed 13 people.

Most of the myths and misconceptions surrounding Gandhi have to do with non-violence. For instance, it's surprising how many people still have the idea that non-violent action is passive.
It's important for us to be clear about this: There is nothing passive about Gandhian non-violent action.
Gandhi himself helped create this confusion by referring to his method at first as "passive resistance," because it was in some ways like techniques bearing that… Continue

For two weeks we've been listening to the story of the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia—a media tempest in an English teapot. And all the time the biggest scandal has been directly under our noses.
This afternoon at Copenhagen a document mysteriously leaked from the UN Secretariat. It was first… Continue

‘Copenhagen deal done,’ says US
By Fiona Harvey, Ed Crooks and Andrew Ward in Copenhagen
Published: December 18 2009
World leaders at the Copenhagen talks on climate change declared on Friday night they had reached a “meaningful agreement” that would pave the way for the world’s first truly global pact on cutting greenhouse gases.
The agreement was confirmed by US officials. But the UN and other nations at the conference had yet to announce that they… Continue

Sometimes he uses the back aisle of a thrift shop, or even the steps of a Detroit bus to spread Christmas cheer.
Santa -- or more appropriate, Secret Santa -- visited Detroit and Downriver on Thursday, handing out more than $13,000 in $100 bills to those who looked like they needed a little help.
All Santa asks in return: a random act of kindness for someone… Continue

I have decided to take a hiatus from truth based websites for a while. I am really frustrated with a lot of things, and I need a break. I will be around for maintaining my websites, but that's about it. I hope everyone has a happy holiday.

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) – While Congress has voted to raise the national debt ceiling to $12.4 trillion, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has reported that the federal government’s unfunded liabilities – the costs of promised benefits through Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and several other programs – total $62.9 trillion in today’s dollars.

COPENHAGEN — A third draft climate agreement being considered by world leaders at the U.N. summit in Copenhagen has introduced greenhouse gas emissions targets for both industrialized and developing countries. The document, titled the Copenhagen Accord, says rich countries should reduce their greenhouse emissions by at least 80 percent by the year 2050.… Continue

I thought it might – just might – be a parody, a spoof, a weak attempt at irony. But no, it turns out that Nick Gillespie, the former editor of Reason magazine, and now chief honcho over at something called "ReasonTV," is absolutely and incredibly serious about his contention that We Never Had It So Good. And why, pray tell, are we supposedly so blessed? Well, it seems that nerdy geeky-looking white kids now have some really really cool computer games to play,… Continue

Neither the form of Socialism in South America or the form of Democracy here in North America are pure forms of either method of governing people. Our Democratic Republic steeped in Capitalism is nothing more than Fascism disguised as freedom to provide the illusion of free will when in reality we're all slaves to the system.
Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez are reinventing the wheel, providing more freedom for their respective people and becoming a threat to Washington at the same time.… Continue

Continuing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will more than wipe out any reduction in carbon from the government's proposed climate measures ...
The continuance of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars completely and thoroughly undermines the government's claims that there is a global warming emergency and that reducing carbon output through cap and trade is needed to save the planet.
(NaturalNews) All of a sudden, H1N1 vaccines are available all across America. Walgreens and other pharmacies are pushing the vaccines as if there were an "everything must go" liquidation sale under way. Hurry, get your swine flu vaccine today before everybody figures out they're useless!
The marketability of vaccines has a strict time limit. They're only in demand during the fear phase of a pandemic, and that fear phase has long since faded for H1N1. Virtually everyone who wants an… Continue
There is no one more qualified than Reg Keys -- whose son Tom was killed in Iraq -- to comment on Tony Blair's admission to the BBC that, if he hadn't used the non-existent weapons of mass destruction to justify a war crime, he would have found another "argument" -- that is, another lie.
When the totality of our societies ills are viewed together, as they are here, the picture becomes quite clear. A happy America? A content society?
Anything but. When everything below is considered we are living lives of what's termed 'quiet desperation,' almost all of us. We don't even recognize, even those of us that are active here on 12.160Mhz, that we have learned helplessness. We just can't see it. And when it's so obviously pointed out, we refuse to believe… Continue
