Alan Dershowitz: Apologist For Inhumanity

Alan Dershowitz is a professor of law at Harvard University, an apologist for the Israel lobby in the US and a self-confessed "big mouth". He is also a man completely in thrall to the NeoCon agenda who takes every opportunity to promote the extremist warmongering disguised as "freedom and democracy" that has come to define the reign of the Bush administration, which, we should remember, entered the white house in 2000 in much the same way as other great dictatorships of history - without the consent of a majority of the population

The Not So Strange Case of Philip Merrill

Image

Phillip Merril
Philip Merrill was the 71 year old president and CEO of Capital-Gazette Communications, Inc., which publishes Washingtonian magazine, the Annapolis Capital, and five other Maryland newspapers.

On June 10th 2006, Mr Merrill's wife reported him missing when he failed to return from a days sailing in his boat, 'the Merrilly', on Chesapeake bay. The following day, the Merrilly was found floating 25 miles off the coast with its engine running. The first man on the scene reported that the boat was empty and that there was evidence of blood on the deck. Mr Merrill's body was subsequently found floating in Chesapeake bay on June 19th. Police said that he had apparently died of a shotgun blast to the head, and deemed his death a suicide even before an autopsy has returned its findings and despite the fact that Mr Merrill's body was found with an anchor tied to his feet.

About 350 students chanting "Bush Go Home!" marched through Austria's capital Vienna today to protest against a visit by US President George Bush for the US-European Union summit.

The students gathered at the Westbahnhof train station and set off on foot to a church square not far from the former imperial Hofburg Palace, where Bush was meeting with top European Union officials. No violence was reported.

Sowing The Seeds Of Civil War

A short chronology of recent events in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:

Hamas was established by Israel as a counterweight to the authentic grass-roots Palestinian Liberation Organistaion. Israel couldn't control the PLO so they needed a "Palestinian" group that they could...

Lies, Damn Lies and Spades

A few years ago, it wasn't so difficult. Things weren't quite so bad then, or at least they weren't quite so blatant. Today, it's a different story. The phrase 'in your face' doesn't do it justice; it's up your nose and down your throat too. So you will understand me then when I say that I am getting really, really tired, or better said, bored, with the continued refusal of many people to simply call what is clearly a spade a damn spade.

How to Spot COINTELPRO Agents

The subject of COINTELPRO comes up quite a bit on our websites and has done so since we became fully aware of its activity in the various "alternative news/views" movements back in late 2001. Up to that point in time, we were thinking that it was probably likely that, now and again, a group might be infiltrated by an agent for a specific purpose. What we were NOT aware of was the vast, overarching program that seems to be in place for the primary purpose of controlling absolutely everything via the control of the minds of the masses!

Yeah, that's a pretty unbelievable project to contemplate, but for groups with unlimited resources and the agenda to stay on the top of the heap, it's really not so hard. And never has this activity been more evident than in the 9/11 Truth Movement which I want to discuss here. But, before getting to that specifically, let me give a little background.

Making Sense of Political Complexity

Looking out over the sorry state of our world, it isn't easy to make sense of what is going on. There are so many factors at play, so many levels of play and deception and manipulation with very few of the players having a complete overview of the ultimate plan. This complexity allows everyone to become a pawn: you'll hear one say that the Iraq war was about oil, another will say it was to advance Israel, another that it was to move in on the French and Russians. Each of these explanations have a kernel of truth to it because there were groups involved who did have these interests, and many more. But the entire situation cannot be understood as the expression of a single issue unless and until the real underlying cause is identified, the one that serves as context for the others, that is capable of subsuming them all within it.

Zionism - An Existential Threat To The Jews of Israel

We recently received an email from a reader who challenged certain aspects of the Stranger Than Fiction article that we have posted on our site. After an opening paragraph, the reader appears to quote an article by Steven Plaut, a professor at the Graduate School of the Business Administration at the University of Haifa, Israel and columnist for the Jewish Press. Having responded to the reader, (and indirectly to Plaut's analysis), we thought it was worth sharing with our readers as it provides an idea of our stance on "Zionism" the state of Israel, Jewish people and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Question

From Holocaust To Armageddon

At this late hour, having already had my fill of incredible nonsense passed off as truth, I need to get something off my chest. Everyone who retains but a residue of that once common human attribute that is now seems vanishingly rare - common sense - can clearly see that the major Zionist organizations and entities (the State of Israel, the ADL, AIPAC and the NeoCons to name but a few) have, for the past 60 years, shamelessly manipulated the deaths of 6 million Jews to further their own selfish agendas. But what, exactly, is the agenda?

Iran's president has proposed new ways out of the ongoing crisis over his country's nuclear programs, said an Iranian official.

In a letter, the first letter from an Iranian leader to a U.S. president in 27 years, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has offered President George W. Bush "new solutions" to their differences, said government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham.

The letter was sent via the Swiss Embassy.
