I'm not absolutely certain this is a real billboard but I am feeling pretty sure that it is. It's strange that a message of this nature made it onto a billboard, not totally weird but just a little odd. I agree with the message, it should have appeared frequently years ago. Either way, it's completely appropriate considering most of the posts on this web site. If we were a mainstream media web site civil unrest here in the US of A would be a forgone conclusion.…

We have analyzed the content of 35 elements in 4 craters derived from:
2 bombing events in Gaza in 2006, one in Beit Hanoun, one in Jabalia camp, and 2 bombings in 2009, both in Tufah, the Gaza suburb. We have also analyzed the powder remaining inside a shell of an exploded White Phosphorus bomb THS89D112-003 155MM M825E1 collected at Al Wafa in January 2009. All craters were big and the sampling was conducted along one of the sides of the slope of the crater.
I tried to find a word or words to describe my feelings after watching this. Keep in mind that I do not agree with these demonstrators and their agenda. Still, I wouldn't beat people that I disagree with. But I searched for words anyway. Unlike global leaders I maintain a substantial supply of empathy and manage to keep it ever present while developing my opinions. Empathy is lacking and/or non-existent in the global scheme of rule. Empathy is a necessary part of the human experience so first I… Continue

In evaluating the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen -- with more than 15,000 participants from 192 countries, including more than 100 heads of state, as well as 100,000 demonstrators in the streets -- it is important to ask: How is it possible that the worst polluter of carbon dioxide and other toxic emissions on the planet is not a focus of any conference discussion or proposed restrictions?
By every measure, the Pentagon is the largest institutional user of… Continue

"The US air force perpetrated an appalling massacre against citizens in the north of Yemen as it launched air raids on various populated areas, markets, refugee camps and villages along with Saudi warplanes," the northern Yemen-based Houthi Shia fighters said.
At least 120 Houthis have lost lives and 44 others sustained injuries as US fighter jets took part in air strikes in the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa'ada.
They added, "The savage crime committed by the US air… Continue

I recently had this discussion with a person that has grown quickly to become a dear and trusted friend. We answered the question differently as is often the case when opinions join facts to determine conclusions.
Whatever makes great men is constantly at work around us. They might be sculpted by their environment as my friend suggested.
Recognizing greatness, deciding just who is great in our own minds varies as much as any single opinion and it… Continue

Prophecy expert and author Grant R. Jeffrey discussed how technology and surveillance are setting the stage for a new reign of tyranny from a hidden global elite that seeks to install a one-world government. Already, a secretive group in Brussels meets behind locked doors and makes decisions for the European Union without democratic input or challenges, he said. The Copenhagen Climate Control Treaty being finalized this week is another move toward world control that… Continue

George may be getting paid the big bucks to be a motivational speaker but the little girl below provides more motivation than he can spell, for free.
The second image was captured prior to Obama's election and in fact, prior to his election as a Senator. Seems he was originally born in Russia, placing him in Alaska shortly afterwards, where he earned a substantial income shining the shoes of the REAL global political stars.…
Even as our world “leaders” gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark for the past two weeks forging a treaty declaring global government and taxes on every human activity from producing electricity to owning pets, the inconvenient news leaked out that U.N. funded scientists have been cooking the books on global climate change to “hide the decline” in world temperatures.
Our president Obama, never one to waste a good crisis, flew to the gathering of the world elite to promise 10 billion… Continue

For most Americans, the Gaza Strip is, at best, unknown territory. At worst, it is a hostile land whose "terrorist infrastructure" must be dismantled, no matter what the cost to its million and a half residents.
The Gaza I have been visiting for the past twenty-one years bears little relation to the dehumanizing imagery to which it has been reduced by the mainstream media. The Gaza I know is home to friends and strangers who are as welcoming and humane as… Continue

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
