For decades now, African American leaders have been calling for a formal United States apology for the American role in the slave trade, with some even demanding reparations. Indian tribes proclaim their tax-exempt status as something they are owed for a legacy of persecution by the United States. Mexican Americans in the southwest United States seek to incorporate this region, including California, into Mexico, or even to set up an independent nation, Aztlan, that will recreate the glories of the Aztec empire, destroyed centuries ago by the imperialistic Spaniards. That we live in an age of grievance and victimhood is not news. But did these peoples — these Mexican-Americans, these ...
Her car is 82. She's 102. Both still going strong

Jackson Township, Ohio — Not many folks change their own oil anymore. Fewer still are women. And I'll bet you a week's pay there's not another woman on the planet who continues to change her own oil at the age of 102. Meet Margaret Dunning of Plymouth. I'm serious. Born in 1910. Still sharp. Still spunky. Still crawling around under the hood with a funnel and an oil pan. Of course, this is no ordinary car. It's her baby, a 1930 Packard 740 Roadster. She bought it back in '49 when it was in sad shape. Four upholstery jobs and 22 coats of hand-rubbed lacquer later, it became the first vehicle to be awarded a perfect 100-point score by the Classic Car Club of ...

ROCKWELL: Good morning. This is the Lew Rockwell Show. And how great to have as our guest this morning Dr. Don Miller. Don's a cardiac surgeon. He's professor of surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. He's a member of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. And he writes about a number of subjects for LewRockwell.com. I urge you to take a look at his archive. But I especially today want to talk to him about his most recent article, called Pursuing Truth on the Kennedy Assassinations. And that's plural – "assassinations." Don has been studying these issues for decades. And as you will see when you take a look at this article, he has ...

Death of the US Dollar Hegemony: Military Intervention, Oil Sales, and the Inevitable Collapse

According to a recent report by Indy Media, Mexican crude oil will be sold to China without using the US dollar as its trading currency. Sources inside the Mexican government refuse to disclose if they have been in secret negotiations with China over possible crude oil sales. If you’re not familiar with the term petrodollar, or why a move such as this by China, Mexico, or Russia is of grave concern, allow me to give you a few points to consider and explain the situation - In 1975, the members of OPEC agreed to sell oil only in US dollars. This was for a variety of reasons, but chief among them was to maintain a need for US currency and maintain its reign as the global reserve. ...

Must See video at story link!! Lot's of chimping and shenanigans!! SELMA, AL (WSFA) - Renewed protests over a controversial monument. And this time, protestors say they're ready to go to jail. The protestors are opposed to a bust going up in a Selma cemetery. It's a bust of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who they say was also a violent racist responsible for killing people. This is the second time supporters have wanted to put up the bust. The first time, it was stolen. "I'm ready to march right now. I'm ready to march right now. Ain't nothing wrong with going to jail because we're marching for freedom!" says Charles Steele, Jr. with ...

NEW YORK — In going over my manuscript of the Yukio Mishima biography, my copy editor protested at one point, citing her "liberal Berkeley-influenced sensibilities." That was where I described Japan as a "backward nation." Let me explain. In 1958, Mishima dictated an entire book in the somewhat pedagogic genre of bunshM tokuhon, in which an established writer tells the reader, with ample examples, what proper writing should be. Books in this genre may be comparable to H.W. Fowler's "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage" and William Strunk Jr.'s, "The Elements of Style," except that Japanese writers seldom get into grammatical or usage ...
AP Exclusive: Memos show US hushed up Soviet crime

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The American POWs sent secret coded messages to Washington with news of a Soviet atrocity: In 1943 they saw rows of corpses in an advanced state of decay in the Katyn forest, on the western edge of Russia, proof that the killers could not have been the Nazis who had only recently occupied the area. The testimony about the infamous massacre of Polish officers might have lessened the tragic fate that befell Poland under the Soviets, some scholars believe. Instead, it mysteriously vanished into the heart of American power. The long-held suspicion is that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't want to anger Josef Stalin, an ally whom the Americans were ...

Yes, there was a day when our national treasury was gladly filled by foreigners paying for the opportunity to do business on American soil. But this was when members of Congress, and those running for Office, put American interests first and would have considered the NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO as acts of sedition, and would have tarred and feathered those participating in the surrender of America’s sovereignty.

Whiteness Is More Than Anti-Blackness
Post Date: 2012-09-09 00:21:03 by X-15

Whiteness has been most commonly defined in terms of “anti-blackness,” a distinction that remains supremely important to the Left. For liberals, the 1940s and 1950s never ended. Hitler and Joseph McCarthy still stalk the earth, and white supremacy rules the US and the world. Wherever liberals look they see malign white faces! Structural racism of this sort was most prevalent in the United States and southern Africa. Until recently it was not meaningful in other European countries. (They, too, now have substantial black populations, however.) Even so, a thorough examination would have to analyze all European colonial experiences in sub-Saharan Africa as well as the Caribbean, ...
Alpine club examines historical ties to Nazis

Because it was the first major sporting group to exclude Jews in the 1930s, the German Alpine Association examined its role in Nazi Germany and how climbing feats became fodder for Hitler's propaganda machine. Four days were enough to turn the simple mountaineer Heinrich Harrer into a hero. In July 1938, he and three fellow climbers were the first to successfully scale the infamous Eiger North Face route to the summit of the 3,970-meter (13,025-foot) peak in the Swiss Alps. The German-Austrian team's success was hailed as a conquest of "the last great problem in the Alps." "It was this triumph of man over nature that the National Socialists, ruling Germany and ...

New York Times Pro-Israeli Bias

New York Times Pro-Israeli Bias by Stephen Lendman The New York Times has a longstanding history of pro-Israeli bias. An earlier If Americans Knew report explained "highly disturbing patterns" of distorted, one-sided coverage. Over time, little changed. Former Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner is ethically challenged. He's a longtime Israeli apologist. He blames Palestinians for Israeli crimes. He largely ignores settler violence. In March 2008, he joined Lone Star Communications' speakers bureau. It's one of Israel's leading PR firms. An illegal settler runs it. It arranges speaking dates for Bronner and others on pro-Israeli issues. Times editors see no ...

Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy, Christopher Hayes, Crown Publishers, 292 pages “Elite” wasn’t always a dirty word. Before the 19th century, the term described someone chosen for office. Because this typically occurred in the church, the word possessed distinctly ecclesiastical connotations. The pre-Victorians transformed a word imputing religious status to individual persons into a collective noun with class implications. By the 1830s, “elite” referred to the highest ranks of the nobility. Those meanings are no longer primary. As invoked by followers of the Tea Party movement, for example, “elite” means essentially a snob. Not, ...

tom... Had a stroke few days ago, things still not normal. All I know is this. This country is going down within ten years, whether from fiscal collapse, or from war or both. What I see these days reminds me like a rerun of the late 1930s. Day after day of war talk and impending doom. We of the masses had no voice then just as we have none now. All of us knew it would be us to do the bleeding and dying.
World War I vet's 110-year-old widow receives military benefits

Nearly a century after William Collins served as a sharpshooter in the calvary in World War I, his 110-year-old wife finally is receiving military benefits. With assistance from U.S. Rep. Mark Critz, D-Johnstown, Alda Collins, who turns 110 this week, is getting about $1,000 a month to assist with her stay at a nursing home north of Ebensburg. It's a far cry from the $36 a month she had been receiving, said her son, James, 73, of Carrolltown. "I've been trying to get this for some time," James Collins said. In all, Alda Collins will receive about $25,000 in back benefits, dating to when her son applied for the money four years ago. Alda Collins is believed to be one ...
Wojtek the Bear: The Nazis' Furriest Enemy

The tale is bizarre, but true. During World War II, an orphaned brown bear went from being a cuddly pet to an officially enlisted soldier in the Polish army, and reportedly saw fierce combat in Italy. Decades after the war and his death, "Wojtek" continues to be honored. Archibald Brown had already seen a lot during the war -- but nothing like this. It was mid-February 1944, and the courier for British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery was in the port of Naples to help process a unit of Polish soldiers that had just arrived by ship from Alexandria, Egypt, to advance with British soldiers against German and Italian forces. Among his everyday duties was checking crew manifests and ...

Is this a proof that man can "time travel" himself Or it is an other proof that they hide to us too many things??? The decision is yours...... —ISTORY: Radiophones have a long and varied history going back to Reginald Fessenden's invention and shore-to-ship demonstration of radio telephony, through the Second World War with military use of radio telephony links and civil services in the 1950s, while hand-held mobile radio devices have been available since 1973. Mobile phone history is often divided into generations (first, second, third and so on) to mark significant step changes in capabilities as the technology improved over the years.

Mosquito gets finishing touches

After seven years of painstaking restoration, the finishing touches are going on an old World War II bomber near Auckland. The combat aircraft is special because its frame was made almost entirely from wood, and when it first entered production in 1941 it was the fastest operational aircraft in the world. Revealed at Ardmore airport, the De Havilland Mosquito FB26 is the only one of its kind to be restored for flight, but it's not finished yet. A team of eight warbird engineers are in top gear to get the fighter bomber ready to take to the skies next month, an event which will mark the 70th anniversary of the first flight of a Canadian-built Mosquito and commemorate the New Zealand ...

New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has agreed to help track down property that belonged to Jewish victims of the Holocaust, a Jewish group said Monday. Project Heart, a Holocaust restitution taskforce set up by the Jewish Agency for Israel and the government, said the ombudsman agreed to search his state's financial database for lost bank accounts opened by Jews known to have died in Europe during World War II. DiNapoli said he would search through information for 48 million lost accounts that dates back to 1943 for names of known Holocaust victims. "The issue of restoring Jewish property to their owners is still key even though 70 years have passed since the war's ...
