Poor Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt

It was lunchtime in one of Haiti's worst slums, and Charlene Dumas was eating mud.
With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some must take desperate measures to fill their bellies.
Charlene, 16 with a month-old son, has come to rely on…

Did you know that the people of Haiti frequently eat mud pies, made from real mud, because food is so scarce?
No Mister! You Cannot Share My Pain!

If you shared my pain you would not continue to make me suffer, to torture me, to deny me my dignity and my rights, especially my rights to self-determination and self-expression.
Six years ago you sent your…

I'm mad because now that Haiti is in the forefront I realize very, very few Americans are aware of the actual history of that poor and miserable country and even fewer realize OUR OWN tax dollars created that misery at the hands of George "shop" Bush and Bill "I didn't inhale" Clinton. These two guys literally take the cake when it comes to murdering innocent people with total impunity.
Not only did Bill Clinton terror bomb to death an untold number of people in Iraq and the former…

If a group of dedicated scholars, attorneys, journalists, and activists had tried to generate a comprehensive list of impeachable offenses committed by George W. Bush as president, and only 35 of them had been introduced into Congress, one of the many discarded ones, in rough and overly detailed form, might have read something like this:
In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of…

Why is it that WE know this, people across the world know this and Iran knows this but the US government behaves as though it weren't true? How can an established government proffer such vast lies?
The whole world knows that the CIA is the globes largest drug dealer and drug manufacturing facilitator. We know that tons of chemical precursors are smuggled into Afghanistan through Pakistan in tractor trailers guarded by Mujahideen paid with American dollars. We know that the aircraft…

More than two months
before the twin towers were attacked on 9/11/2001, the former Pakistani diplomat Niaz Naik was told by the Bush administration that a US military assault would take place by mid-October of 2001. The Taliban regime in Kabul, which the Clinton administration had
secretly supported, was no longer regarded as "stable" enough to ensure US control over oil and gas pipelines to the Caspian Sea. They had to go.
Obama tells us we're fighting Taliban…

Real revolutions unlike a U.S. sponsored “color revolution” are not easily manipulated events; large masses of suddenly-conscious people have high expectations that cannot be met by the corporate-controlled and manipulated U.S. government. People here in the US are slowly awakening to the abject misery and resource depletion Capitalism causes.
If Americans recognize that millions of Iranians have suddenly become conscious and aware of their subjugation and enslavement by a group of…

People have asked whether moving your money from your giant bank to a small community bank or credit union will have any real affect on the too big to fails, given that most of their profits come from speculative investments instead of normal banking deposits.
According to the Nation, the answer is yes:
The cynics either do not…

Big Brother: Obama Calls for the Integration of State and Federal Military Forces
Executive Order Seeks to "Synchronize and Integrate"
by Tom Burghardt
In the wake of the Flight 253 provocation, over-hyped terrorism panics, and last year's Big Pharma and media-engineered hysteria over the H1N1 flu pandemic, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13528 on January 11.
Among other things, the Executive Order (EO) established a Council of Governors, an…

THIS is a fascinating story. This is about Halabja.
It might just be that 'Chemical Ali' didn't gas the Kurds in Halabja although he probably did use gas in other locations. This is important because the Halabja incident was specifically cited as one of the primary reasons for going to war with Iraq.
BAGHDAD (AFP) – Ali Hassan al-Majid, better known as Saddam Hussein's enforcer "Chemical Ali" was on Sunday sentenced to death for ordering the gassing of Kurds in the Iraqi…

Several people have asked me why I don’t believe in certain rumors that appear almost everywhere that the NWO is discussed. This essay provides the answers to that question and although these opinions are based on the many facts outlined below they are still just my personal opinions developed from those facts.
I don’t believe we’ll have a food shortage.
I don’t believe Martial Law will be declared.
I don’t believe the dollar will crash.
I don’t believe we’ll be…

In a city of desperate poverty -- without jobs, without electricity, without security, without drinkable water, without medical facilities, with little food and less hope -- several hundred well-armed soldiers in armored vehicles laid siege, blocking escape routes, and opened fire. Indiscriminate bullets found the bodies of men, women, children, infants and the elderly.
This was not Fallujah. It was not Ramadi, Baghdad or some obscure community in the Anbar province of Iraq. It was…

This isn't about Gaza but I want to start there. It's about all of us.
The people of Gaza are vulnerable to disease, ill-health, and malnutrition after years of siege, with its infrastructure rotted, its water and food contaminated by heavy metals from aerial bombardment, it's agricultural land which once supported a thriving export market decimated by tank treads and border no-man's lands.
The normal growth of children is stunted by years of malnutrition. Adults are…

Walls were prevalent in pre-industrial society but express much about our 21st century advanced, supposedly, civilization.
Egypt is building a thick 60 to 90 foot deep steel wall along 14 miles of its Gaza border. Israel is doing the same. They already have 30 foot high cement walls surrounding most of Gaza.
Walls in early civilizations were built for protection against marauding bands of criminals and functional opposing armies. Walls today are built to keep people in.…

Sourced from the Washington Post
The U.S. government is encouraging farmers to spread a chalky waste from coal-fired power plants on their fields to loosen and fertilize soil.
The material is produced by power plant "scrubbers" that remove acid-rain-causing sulfur dioxide from plant emissions. The substance is a synthetic form of the mineral gypsum, and it also contains mercury, arsenic, lead and other heavy metals.
The Environmental Protection Agency says those…

WE THE UNDERSIGNED petition you to speak out against the death penalty for Mumia Abu-Jamal, and all the men, women and children facing execution around the world. This ultimate form of punishment is unacceptable in a civilized society and undermines human dignity. (U.N. General Assembly, Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty, Resolution 62/149, Dec. 18,…
