The former American military chief of the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq reiterates the Israeli involvement in the US-run facility, where hundreds of Iraqi suspects were tortured and sexually abused by US soldiers and interrogators.
Shedding further light on the scandal that has served as a controversy-magnet for Washington ever since its emergence in 2004, the retired US army colonel Janis Karpinski says that Israeli agents were recruited by the US military at Abu Ghraib to…

We saw this type of Iraq-style disaster profiteering in New Orleans, and you can expect to see a lot more of this in Haiti over the coming days, weeks and months. Private security companies are seeing big dollar signs in Haiti thanks in no small part to the media hype about "looters." After Katrina, the number of private security companies registered (and unregistered) multiplied overnight. Banks, wealthy individuals, the US government all hired private security. I…

Why is that? So many righteous leaders from yesterday and today fall victim to being marginalized, ridiculed and in most cases killed for speaking the truth. As soon as people are empowered by a leader’s message of truth, the elite come in and thwart the efforts of a true uprising and ultimately kill the message or the messenger.
Over and over again we see that happening throughout the annals of time, like some of the most inspirational prophets/leaders that have fallen by way of the…

I've read a lot about vitamin D and of course take it every day especially during the winter months here in Minnesota where the sun doesn't shine but I was wondering what other people are taking, the amount in I.U., international units.
Anyone?
And just in case you didn't know, about 90% of the US population is deficient in vitamin D. You can only get vitamin D in sufficient amounts from the sun and sunscreen blocks it.

This is a short, concise, easy to read and easy to understand very straight forward history of Haiti. Although it omits details of American involvement in coups and Haiti's value for resources such as gold, copper, oil and as a transit hub for narcotics it's nevertheless quite accurate.

The U.S. Military has, via a large and ongoing propaganda effort, attempted to sell itself as being “family friendly” in an attempt to lure recruits with families to join.
On the U.S. Army’s primary recruiting website, goarmy.com, a section titled “Army Families” has sections for health care, finances, family services, and even a section on relocating with a sub-section titled “Helping Children Cope.” A small paragraph addresses the stress on children whose…

Fears of a euro breakup have reached the point where the European Central Bank feels compelled to issue a legal analysis of what would happen if a country tried to leave monetary union.
"Recent developments have, perhaps, increased the risk of secession (however modestly), as well as the urgency of addressing it as a possible scenario," said the document, entitled "

Ok, let's be up front about this, the climate change posse have failed to achieve all their goals under global warming and while being a bit vexed about it I don't think they care greatly. Our intervention is an irritation at best. Now they simple revert to their creeping insidious methodology and implement it. Even given all the evidence, witnesses in the public domain they are still pursuing it at local level. All that's changed is the buzz words from global warming to climate change and I'd…

A leading Swedish newspaper reported this week that Israeli soldiers are abducting Palestinians in order to steal their organs, a claim that prompted furious condemnation and accusations of anti-Semitic blood libel from a rival publication.
“They plunder the organs of our sons,” read the headline in Sweden’s largest daily newspaper, the left-leaning Aftonbladet, which devoted a double spread in its cultural…

President Obama makes his first State of the Union address on Wednesday, and he's going to call for us to cap spending on everything EXCEPT the military.
Getting a grip on the deficit is fine. But spending on war and weapons is the FIRST place we should look to save money, not the LAST.
Obama's priorities are backwards. But Congress gets the final vote on how to spend tax dollars. And their reaction to the State of the Union -- whether they clap or shout…
