An open letter TO HIS ‘HONOUR’ JUDGE JONATHAN ROSE Martin Narey, Director General of the Prison Service, wrote of “HELL HOLE PRISONS”. HM Chief Inspector of Prisons, Sir David Ramsbottom spoke on the Frost programme of ‘BARBARIC PRISON GUARDS’. See his book PRISONGATE. A DEFINITION OF HELL: Solitary Confinement for 23 ½ hours a day, lying on my bunk staring at the bunk above only 12¨ above my head, unable to sit up in bed. (as doctor’s orders). Nothing to read, nothing to write on, no watch, no radio, nothing to do but stare at the rotten stinking TV pumping out brainwashing garbage. (“Live in ……. [Full Post]

By Prof. Ralph Gomory Global Research, July 21, 2011 We are missing the lesson of the current British outrage over Murdoch just as we missed the lesson of the financial crisis in America. Was the real crime in England that employees of the News of the World illegally hacked the cell phone of a missing girl? Was the real financial crime in America illegal acts such as Ponzi schemes or insider trading? The answer is no in both cases. The real crime in England was legal, not illegal; it was that one man had the power to influence large parts of the British parliament and ……. [Full Post]

In the Sleep Room

By Kevin D Annett I was wondering today why it is that we are all insane. Years ago, I paid my way through college by working as an orderly in the campus hospital’s nuthouse; and of course later, I dealt for years with church congregations. So I know a lot about crazy people, and the societies they create. Rather than a peculiarity, life was oddly familiar on the university psych ward, whose inhabitants – whether the patients or the hospital staff – spun about themselves a self-sustaining, insular and utterly dissociated little world that, like society at large, resisted change or even study. On the ……. [Full Post]

What My Outstretched Hand Really Means

By Kevin Annett www.itccs.org Some years ago, a stumbling native man who barely survived Indian residential school tortures came up to me and offered me $5 to support our campaign, even though it was all the money he had. I refused it, naturally, because he was destitute. He seemed hurt by my refusal. Finally he handed the $5 to me again and said, “You’re out there for all of us. So I got to be there for you.” He was someone who didn’t think in terms of why he couldn’t do something, but why he could, and why he had to. When someone comes to ……. [Full Post]

Who is Rupert Murdoch?

A Word Or Two on What Isn’t Being Said By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor, Veterans Today Today the British papers not owned by Rupert Murdoch “rumored” that he might be jailed.  Americans, even Brits, have little or no idea  what is at risk here.  There is simply no one who can report it when the individual who, not only controls the world’s largest news organization turns out to be, well, what? Who is Rupert Murdoch? What he is not is an Australian “right wing” billionaire.  Murdoch, though born in Australia is an Israeli citizen and Jewish.  Why is this important? Murdoch is now admitted to ……. [Full Post]

A Rallying Call By Kevin D. Annett These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly … Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, Valley Forge, December 23, 1776 It is a neighborhood that has known unending sorrow and struggle. Smallpox and fire ……. [Full Post]

Truth IS a revolution

From RevolutionTruth Control of information is control of people. Manipulation and distortion of information, over-classifying information, and the outright attempt to manufacture reality is occurring on an unprecedented scale. These trends have no place in a democracy. We defend Julian Assange and WikiLeaks because this media organization has given common people access to truthful information we are systematically being denied. The door WikiLeaks has opened sheds light on rampant abuses of secrecy, criminality and unethical behavior on the part of both governments and corporations. For bringing people truthful information about their governments, Julian Assange has been subjected to great personal duress and even threatened with ……. [Full Post]

America on 4th July

By Lin Dinh July 4th, I wandered down to Independence Hall. There were soldiers in dress and battle uniforms, a high school marching band, many beefy bikers and a handful of svelte beauty queens, including Miss America, Teresa Scanlan. In front of the National Museum of American Jewish History, more than thirty Falun Dafa drummers, all female, performed a measured dance. Nearby, Sri Chinmoy followers sat under a portrait of their God stand-in, with these words emblazoned on their float: America, America, America! Great you are, good you are, Brave you are, kind you are. O my America, America, Your Heaven-Freedom Is earth’s aspiration-choice. With ……. [Full Post]

By Lin Dhin “The United States has been a leader in the multinational effort to end bribery and corruption in international business practices.”—Website of The U.S. State Department If absolute power corrupts absolutely, why shouldn’t the United States be the most corrupt (and corrupting) country on earth? We’re number one! In America, each politician can be bought and absurd sums of money are routinely misallocated or missing altogether, with nary a peep from the complicit media. On the foreign front, America’s modus operandi is to bribe every dictator, and the ones she can’t bribe, she’ll undermine, overthrow or bomb back to Jesus. In exchange for ……. [Full Post]
