Question: How many countries do you have to be at war with to be disqualified from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?
Answer: Five. Barack Obama has waged war against only Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia. He’s holding off on Iran until he actually gets the… Continue

Forwarded Email to me I thought you may be intrested
Greetings
I just had Jason Pacifico on as a radio guest on my radio show Monday Brown Bagger on COOP Radio out of Vancouver Canada, via phone, on Monday (Dec 21,2009).
During our interview, we talked about:
-60 million homeless in US by end of 2011
-14 million foreclosure in US by end of 2011
-9-10 members of the Trilateral Commission working in the Obama's… Continue
When President Obama made his first post-election visit to San Francisco, two groups of protesters met him in Union Square. About 500 activists (the “Left”) carried signs, sang songs and chanted for an end to the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, for environmental action and Medicare for all.
Sharing space with us were about 250 “tea-baggers” (the “Right”) carrying anti-Obama signs. Their main issues were lower taxes and opposition to “government… Continue

I received a disturbing email yesterday regarding massive amounts of grain shipping out of the U.S. to foreign countries. Granaries that long stood idle are going full-bore. Miles and miles of rail cars are filled and ready to transport our wheat, oats and corn reserves for shipment out of… Continue
"We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their parents at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an animal formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be… Continue

The “underpants bomber” has renewed calls for new and more invasive security measures. Already, there’s a push to install scanners that show travelers’ naked bodies through clothing, using either millimeter wave or backscatter X-ray imaging. But even those scanners might not have caught the terrorist who nearly brought down Northwest flight… Continue

The U.S. government staged the failed Christmas Day terror attack so that the United States wouldn’t have to transfer any more Guantanamo Bay detainees to Yemen, according to a well-known former Guantanamo Bay detainee.
Lakhdar Boumediene – who made headlines in 2008 when his Supreme Court case affirmed detainees’ rights to challenge their detentions in federal courts – told reporters on Monday that President Obama has “changed his mind” about closing Guantanamo Bay, and the… Continue

I try not to visit a place and then forget about the people and the struggle they are engaged in. Since my visit to Jeju Island, and the Gangjeong village last October, I have been closely following developments about the South Korean government's plan to build a Navy base where pristine coral reefs, fishing, and tangerine groves are now integral to the people's way of life.
The base construction is soon set to begin in Gangjeong. The villagers are currently setting up a tent camp… Continue

Here is a shocking statistic that you won't hear in most western news media: over the past nine years, more US military personnel have taken their own lives than have died in action in either the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. These are official figures from the US Department of Defence, yet somehow they have not been deemed newsworthy to report. Last year alone, more than 330… Continue

If you've ever attended a freedom rally, a conference call, received an email, visited a website or even spoke openly against government abuse you may be affected!
The Supreme Court has a case that MUST BE HEARD and they are deciding on Thursday if it is important enough to hear. YOUR VOICE MATTERS NOW!
:: ACTION: 3 DAY PHONE MOB ::
We must light up the swithcboard and jam the phones of the Supreme Court so they know this case is MUST BE HEARD.
Police officers were once seen as reassuring figures, like the fatherly Dixon of Dock Green.
Now it seems they are more likely to have a quite different effect - so much so that officers have been told not to talk about crime in case they frighten the public.
Home Office officials say discussing crime rates may make it less likely that the public will think officers are doing a good job. And that will make it harder for forces to hit the Government's target for increasing… Continue

According to a new study by the US Department of Defense, one in three women in the military is raped. Veterans for Peace add to those statistics, claiming 75% of raped women… Continue
Consider the record of the American media over the last two weeks alone. Justin Elliott of TPM documents how an absolute falsehood about the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing — that Abdulmutallab purchased a “one-way ticket” to the U.S., when it was actually a round-trip ticket — has been repeated far and wide by U.S. media outlets as fact. Two weeks ago, Elliott similarly documented how an equally… Continue

That's the headline in almost every mainstream media outlet this week.
Oooh. We should be scared!
Of course there's no talk when the US test fires long range missiles which it does regularly. There's no talk when Israel test fires missiles which it also does regularly.
Only when Iran does it. Like the Mullah's are suicidal maniacs wanting to send a missile or two to Israel or the US so that we can nuke them into the dark ages.
