A Palestinian worker working for an Israeli contractor, without work permit, was seriously injured at a renovation site in Tel Aviv, and instead for calling for professional medical help, the Israeli contractor dragged him onto the ground and left him to die on the sidewalk.

Israeli daily, Haaretz, has reported that the Palestinian man, identified as Ehsan Abu Srour, 54, from the Askar refugee camp, in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, suffered serious injuries and was abandoned by the contractor, who did not even try to resuscitate him or call for help.   Continue reading “Israeli Contractor Leaves Injured Palestinian Worker to die”

Let’s see here: the party attacking the embassy of Assad-supporting Russia in Damascus is a) the Syrian government or b) the local Al Qaeda-funded Islamist fanatics and Qatari mercenaries, aka “rebels”? Surely a YouTube clip will promptly emerge, confirming it was a).

(FrontPage Mag) – The media is spinning Ahmad Tomeh’s selection (he ran unopposed) as Prime Minister. He’s being described as a dentist, a humble man and a moderate consensus figure. When his Islamism is mentioned, it’s only to describe him as one of those nice friendly “moderate” Islamists.

The stories concentrate on his signing of the Damascus Declaration, without mentioning that the Declaration was an act of collaboration between the Brotherhood and democracy activists.   Continue reading “Syrian Opposition Elects Muslim Brotherhood Prime Minister”

You need to make it impossible for the politicians and the chattering class to turn around without being told they are lying. This is about the only means left available to us to stop them from causing another Depression, stealing all of our money, getting us killed in a war and  destroying the earth.

Politicians need our consent to do anything. We live at a time when politicians and the media whores can quite literally send us all off a cliff to our destruction. Elections mean nothing because the media frames the debates and the politicians count the votes. Besides we cannot wait to do something until the next election. We need to do something today and every day until we are free.  Continue reading “Politicians Are Lying. But You Need To Tell Them You Know They Are Lying.”

Last Wednesday, the great usurper, Barack Hussein Obama, after having been  indicted by an Ocala, Fla.,citizens’ grand jury, was convicted by a people’s  court of defrauding the American people and Floridians by proffering them with a  fake birth certificate. See CitizensGrandJury.com.

As readers of this column and WND know too well, Obama is not a natural-born  citizen eligible to be president of the United States, as he was not born in  this country to two American citizen parents. However, to justify his fraud and  his elections to the highest office in the land, and after years of inquiry, in  2011 the Obama White House posted on its website a birth certificate purporting  to show him having been born in Hawaii. The problem is, however, according to  forensic experts, the birth certificate is altered and forged.  Continue reading “Obama’s reckoning is here”

Every day, 22 veterans take their own lives. That’s a suicide every 65 minutes. As shocking as the number is, it may actually be higher.

The figure, released by the Department of Veterans Affairs in February, is based on the agency’s own data and numbers reported by 21 states from 1999 through 2011. Those states represent about 40% of the U.S. population. The other states, including the two largest (California and Texas) and the fifth-largest (Illinois), did not make data available.  Continue reading “Why suicide rate among veterans may be more than 22 a day”

If any state in the union best represents the dangers of invasive species, it’s Florida. The Sunshine State is home to what’s been a raging Burmese python invasion for some decades. And its Cuban tree frog problem isn’t doing the ecosystem any favors either.

But the state has a new issue: invasive Rhesus monkeys—with herpes.  Continue reading “Herpes-Infected Monkeys Invade Florida”

“USDA Organic” is simply a marketing term those who take government ethics at face value. The goal has always been to increase agricultural sales, not promote organic farming. The public seems to confide in this label through sheer ignorance. The National Organic Program (NOP) which governs the “USDA Organic” label has no interest in organic farming, improving soil, quality of the produce, or factors that pollute the environment. In another blow to their organics program that will further downgrade consumer confidence, the USDA announced this week that the agency has changed the process for exempting otherwise prohibited substances (such as synthetics) in food that carries the “organic or “made with organic” label. This decision makes it easier to continue use of artificial ingredients and substances, undermining integrity of the organic label.   Continue reading “Why You Can No Longer Trust The USDA Organic Label”

Sadly, it appears the Syria debacle is escalating once again. As The Telegraph reports, the current plan says that President Bashar al-Assad’s regime will hand over a list of its chemical weapons and facilities by Saturday, and that all will be destroyed by mid-2014. However, a defiant President Assad said in an interview on Wednesday that the task would take at least a year and cost a billion dollars.    Continue reading “Syria Sends “Inadequate” Chemical Weapons Report; US-Russia Plan Indefinitely Postponed”
