A dream lay dying Times columnist and editorial board member Bill Maxwell kept a promise to himself, to become a professor at a small historically black college, to nurture needy students the way that mentors had encouraged him as a young man. His second year started with promise but ended in despair. By Bill Maxwell Published May 20, 2007 After spending the summer trying to shake off the disappointment over my first year as a professor at Stillman College, I began the 2005 fall semester looking for even the smallest signs that I could make a difference in the lives of black students by setting high standards and inspiring them to rise to the challenge. The first ray of hope that August ...
U.S. Aid Wasted On Israel, Could Help Us At Home

Because of the U. S. military aid given to Israel and the U. S. grants of military technology plus the theft of our secrets by Israeli spies, Israel’s nuclear weapons are said to be the fifth most powerful in the world. The United States has given multi-millions of dollars to Israel, combine that with the lobbying money given to congressmen and senators that will give Israel even more millions of dollars. It is a waste of money that could be used by our own people who are unemployed because of our free trade policy. Make no mistake about it; the United States went to war with Iraq to protect Israel. Now Vice Presisdent Cheney says that Iran will not dominate the Middle East with ...

AGAINST PRESS FREEDOM : ERNST ZNDEL AND PARLIAMENTARISM

Tuesday, March 27, 2007 AGAINST PRESS FREEDOM : ERNST ZÜNDEL AND PARLIAMENTARISMby Welf Herfurth* and Tom StanwellAs most readers know, the Holocaust revisionist Ernst Zündel was sentenced to five years jail by a German court - after being kidnapped, from America to Canada, held for two years without charge in a Canadian prison (under anti-terrorist legislation) and then deported to Germany, where he was charged with multiple counts of Holocaust denial. It is unknown, at this point, if the court will take into account time served. Predictably, the German media were hostile to Zündel and his defence team, but worried if the severity of the sentence - and the fact that freedom ...
Why Bush hasn't been impeached

Congress, the media and most of the American people have yet to turn decisively against Bush because to do so would be to turn against some part of themselves. May. 22, 2007 | The Bush presidency is a lot of things. It's a secretive cabal, a cavalcade of incompetence, a blood-stained Church Militant, a bad rerun of "The Godfather" in which scary men in suits pay ominous visits to hospital rooms. But seen from the point of view of the American people, what it increasingly resembles is a bad marriage. America finds itself married to a guy who has turned out to be a complete dud. Divorce -- which in our nonparliamentary system means impeachment -- is the logical solution. But ...

What is happening in Lebanon?

A survey of US television and radio news over the last 24 hours has told me the following: # Bombings and gunfights in Lebanon. Again. # Breathless analyses on US news programs about Al-Qaida's spread to the shores of the eastern Mediterranean. # Analysts using the "cookie cutter" approach to this new development by citing the events of 1975-1976 and the tensions between Lebanese and Palestinian refugees. # CNN's putative Lebanon analyst, Brent Sadler, characterized Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon as "breeding grounds for terrorism," but now, according to Mr. Sadler, it's Islamic-flavored terrorism. This is all very ominous, anxiety-provoking and ...
Ron Pauls Patriotic Crimethink

Ron Paul’s Patriotic Crimethink Posted by Patrick Foy on May 22, 2007 The attempt by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas to discuss what happened and why--to account for the 9/11 terrorist attacks--is an enormous breakthrough on the American political landscape. The incident occurred during last week’s Republican “debate” among Presidential hopefuls and was aired live on Fox News from Columbia, South Carolina. This may be the first time that the subject has been broached in a serious, intelligent manner by any U.S. Presidential candidate. Rudy Giuliani saw his opportunity to grandstand, and he jumped on it. He chose to dodge, distort and demagogue the issue. As a result, ...

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN IN TROUBLE By Bill Gallagher DETROIT -- Wolfie is walking the plank with a dagger in his ribs as Gonzo stays afloat, shoving his top officers overboard. That's the way it is on the sinking, stinking ship of state with master Dick Cheney at the helm and commander George W. Bush mapping the battle plan. Paul Wolfowitz belatedly got sacked as president of the World Bank for his unethical behavior in getting his girlfriend a fat raise and then covering his tracks, lying about his dirty deed. Wolfowitz got the World Bank job after serving as deputy defense secretary. He was the intellectual guru for the neoconservatives who wanted to invade Iraq long before the ...
Ron Paul: Fixing Whats Wrong With Iraq

May 21, 2007 Many of my colleagues, faced with the reality that the war in Iraq is not going well, line up to place all the blame on the president. The president “mismanaged” the war, they say. “It’s all the president’s fault,” they claim. In reality, much of the blame should rest with Congress, which shirked its constitutional duty to declare war and instead told the president to decide for himself whether or not to go to war.More than four years into that war, Congress continues to avoid its constitutional responsibility to exercise policy oversight, particularly considering the fact that the original authorization no longer reflects the reality on the ground ...

TBR News May 18, 2007 The Voice of the White House Washington, D.C., May 17, 2007: “Bush, shaking with rage, is determined to keep the thoroughly discredited Wolfowitz and the obviously grossly incompetent Gonzales as members of his control circle. That Wolfowitz is a foul-mouthed asshole and Gonzales a brainless Bush hand puppet, they will stay where they are if Bush has his way…and he probably won’t. George is in the corner now and fighting like a sick cat to defend his rapidly shrinking territory and almost non-existent authority. While Israeli leaders are quivering with joy over the election of Sarkozy, they are furious about the coming AIPAC trials and over the ...

By Joseph Galloway There are just over 600 days left until Jan. 20, 2009, and the end of our long national nightmare as President Bush and his Rasputin, Vice President Dick Cheney, shuffle off to their necessarily well-guarded retirement homes and onto the ash heap of history. So much of what they talked about doing in a new century and a new and different world never came to pass. So much of what they did to grow the power of the presidency and prune the constitutional safeguards crafted by our Founding Fathers, they never talked about. He has failed in his quest for victory in Iraq and for a world put in order by a new and stronger United States, and his brash blundering into a ...
The US-Iranian duel enters a new phase

In the first public, high-level, face-to-face talks since 1980, American and Iranian envoys are due to meet in Baghdad on May 28 to discuss the security situation in Iraq. This important development signals a shift in both the US and Iranian policy. It is almost an admission that they need each other. The road to reconciliation, however, is likely to be long and hard. The climate for a fruitful dialogue has been soured by the arrest and incarceration in Tehran's Evin prison of a prominent Iranian-American academic, Haleh Esfandiari, head of the Middle East programme at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars - one of the rare non-partisan think-tanks in Washington.

Why the US Government is Hated All Over the World

Something is wrong with the United States. I think most of us have noticed it. There is a mortal rot in the country, made manifest by many little rots that are hard to integrate mentally yet are, I think, somehow related. The change is grave, accelerating, probably irreversible, and fascinating. Things are not as they were. The United States is the most hated country on the planet, followed by, to the extent that there is a distinction, Israel. So far as I know, there are no other contenders. You can say “Who cares?” as many will say, or “Screw’em if they can’t take a joke,” or “I’d ratherh be feared than loved.” All very droll. Still, it is an ...
Who's Afraid of Jimmy Carter? George Bush

How touchy is the Bush administration about criticism? Very touchy, indeed, especially if the source of that criticism is a certain former president. When Jimmy Carter, whose approval ratings dwarf those of George Bush these days, gets to talking about what's wrong with the current president the White House spin machine goes into overdrive. And Carter has been talking. He told the conservative Arkansas Democrat-Gazette newspaper Saturday that, "I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history." Suggesting that the president has presided over an "overt reversal of America's basic values," ...
Truth Defectors

The truth, much maligned and more than occasionally embarrassing and often even downright accusatory and therefore threatening in nature, is so inconvenient and stifling to deceivers that they will do virtually anything to contain it. But the truth cannot be contained. The truth will always surface in spite of the seemingly endless and unlimited creative attempts to paint over it opaque lies and judgment-blinding distractions. And perhaps there is a lot of truth in what the Nazis and other professional criminals have said: the bigger the lie, the easier for the people to accept it; and, if you are going to steal, then steal big. Eventually, when the deceivers are safely retired or in their ...

Robert Fisk: Blair's lies and linguistic manipulations My Dad used to call people like Blair a 'twerp'. But I fear he is a vicious little man Published: 19 May 2007 By great good fortune, I studied linguistics at Lancaster University. Indeed, I read the books of Noam Chomsky, many years before he became a good friend of mine; to be honest, when I read his work, I thought Chomsky was dead. What a pleasure, therefore, to discover that he shared my world - and my views on Lord Blair of Kut al-Amara. But I have to admit a moment of regret this weekend. Lord Blair is going from us. His self-serving memoirs will, of course, remind us of his God-like view of himself (and, heaven spare ...

PsyOp: GM Castrates Men Using Feminist Ad May 17, 2007 By Henry Makow Ph.D. I am old enough to remember when the word "Cadillac" was synonymous with success. It was the ultimate masculine status symbol. A recent Cadillac commercial sells cars to feminists as a symbol of their success in degrading and humiliating men. It's part of an ongoing Psychological Operation waged by the London-based central banking cartel designed to destroy heterosexuality and the family. The bankers perceive real men as a threat to their plan for world government tyranny. General Motors and other multinationals are all singing from the banker's homosexual/lesbian songbook.

A child on Hamas TV talked of annihilating the Jews ... or did she? Memri, the "research institute" which specialises in translating portions of the Arabic media into English, has issued a video clip from a children's programme on Hamas TV in which it claims that a Palestinian girl talked of becoming a suicide bomber and annihilating the Jews. Memri - described by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman as "invaluable" - supplies translations free of charge to journalists, politicians and others, particularly in the US. Though Memri claims to be "independent" and maintains that it does not "advocate causes or take sides", it is run by Yigal ...

I've already said who I'm endorsing for the Republican nomination for president: Ron Paul, the congressman from Texas who seems to be the sole GOP contender who has actually read the Constitution. Now let me tell you who I'm not supporting: Rudy Giuliani. At that debate in South Carolina the other night, Giuliani revealed an ignorance so vast that he should consider dropping out of politics and perhaps becoming a Fox News commentator. The incident occurred after Paul, a physician who is known as Dr. No because of his penchant for voting against bills he considers unconstitutional, was asked a question about the Iraq war: "Are you out of step with your party?" Paul ...
Fox News' Pro-Giuliani Conflict of Interest (Ron Paul Related)

Republican presidential debate Fox News' Pro-Giuliani Conflict of Interest By Cliff Kincaid Accuracy in Media Thursday, May 17, 2007 Rudy Giuliani's much-publicized but misleading put-down of Ron Paul during Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate should have been tempered by a report that Saudi Arabia, the country that spawned most of the 9/11 hijackers, has been one of Giuliani's lucrative foreign clients. However, Fox News questioners Chris Wallace and Wendell Goler did not bring it up. Perhaps this can be explained by the fact that the same Associated Press story that named Saudi Arabia as a Giuliani client listed News Corporation, the parent company of Fox ...

Tuesday, May 15, 2007 Exposing the Bacon Eating Atheist Jew
By Curt Maynard
I recently became aware of a Jewish Internet agent provocateur going by the moniker “bacon eating atheist Jew.” It seems he didn’t like a particular article I wrote a week ago entitled “Let’s Talk about Jews and Elections.”[1] I wonder why? Why would a professed ‘atheist’ care whether or not I wrote about Jews, isn’t Judaism a religion and not a race or ethnicity? Isn’t that what we’ve all been led to believe? Besides, what does he have against dialogue? Why is it that the bacon eating atheist Jew doesn’t want us to “talk” about Jews and ...

speaking of good ol' MDMA (Ecstasy), even drug culture is getting some new respect. Staid old Time mag just ran a rather snide little story about the new studies being conducted by Harvard and the National Institute of Mental Health into the astonishing psychospiritual benefits of goodly entheogens such as LSD, psilocybin and MDMA.
