How to Create a Food Storage Supply for You and your Spouse … For as Little as $5 per Week
Aug 2nd, 2010 | By Esther | Category: Food | Print This Article
People who live in America rarely consider the need for building up a food supply to offset a national crisis, such as a devastating war or a natural disaster, simply because food in the United States is so readily available and easy to obtain.
However, if something terrible did happen and supermarkets did not remain open,…

Most Americans still appear to be operating under the delusion that the "recession" will soon pass and that things will get back to "normal" very soon. Unfortunately, that is not anywhere close to the truth. What we are now witnessing are the early stages of the complete and total breakdown of the U.S. economic system. The U.S. government, state governments, local governments, businesses and American consumers have collectively…

Humanity is at a dangerous crossroads. War preparations to attack Iran are in "an advanced state of readiness". Hi tech weapons systems including nuclear warheads are fully deployed.
This military adventure has been on the Pentagon's drawing board since the mid-1990s. First Iraq, then Iran according to a declassified 1995 US Central Command document.
Escalation is part…

Let's honour the war dead - by bringing their comrades home
By Suzanne Moore
Last updated at 12:43 AM on 1st August 2010
I can imagine little worse than being the parent of a 19-year-old about to fly out to Afghanistan right now. The unspoken consensus, that ‘our boys’ are brave, always do the right thing and do not question their mission but simply try to achieve it, can no longer hold.
I’m sorry, I do not underestimate the courage of many of the young men in…

The United States Supreme Court in 1937 validated Social Security as an exercise of the Constitutional taxing power of Congress for the benefit of the general fund of the United States Treasury. The Supreme Court also said that “Congress could,…

The Amazing Deeds of Our Nobel Peace Prize Winner
When that prize was awarded to Henry Kissinger, I knew with absolute
certainty Empire Amerika had greased the way with some form of
bribery. No other explanation could serve to explain giving one of the
most rabid hawks and disseminators of bloody violence in American
history a peace prize. I simply could not come up with any other
explanation. Bribery, after all, has…

The Washington Post published yesterday the first of three large reports by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin on the dimensions of the gigantic U.S. apparatus of “intelligence” activities being undertaken to combat terrorist acts against the United States, such as the 9/11 attacks. To say that this activity amounts to mobilizing…

Last November, my wife Karen and I toured the Mediterranean with a group of friends, landing one day at the Great Pyramids at Giza.
It’s not those marvels of the ancient world that I remember most vividly, however, or the majesty of the Sphinx, or the sweep of the desert beyond. It’s the camel abduction.
On the way to the pyramids, our guide told us to keep a wary eye on the local peddlers. “Having someone take a…

A Cynical Distortion of Reality by a Deceitful President
I sat down at my Mac to type another of my typical tirades against
another sample of Obama's outrageous, deceitful, misleading, barely
disguised right-wingism. I got well into it when I happened to take
break and visit the World Socialist Web Site. Voila. The lead piece
for today, written by the always able Patrick Martin, had tackled
exactly what was thematic in…

In her lifetime, approximately one in three women around the world will suffer violence simply because she is a woman. Sex trafficking, rape during times of war and domestic violence are destructive forces not just for women, but for entire communities. This cannot continue.
Your legislators have the power to speak out against this systemic violence against women and rally support for innovative programs that decrease acts of violence. Their leadership could play a vital role in…

One Year vs. 18 Years for the Same Crime!
Today's newspapers are reporting an act by Obama that I see as
unconstitutional, racist, and a gross act of politicking as opposed to

that decrees a punishment for blacks using or selling cocaine is to be
18 times as severe as the punishment of whites for using or selling
the exact same amount of…
