Cheerleaders and silver-liners and ignorami! Oh my!
No… the International Olympic Committee (IOC) wasn’t about to give President Obama his wish of the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago despite his charm, great popularity in much of the world, and a very strong rationale that the bid for the Games was part of America’s re-engagement with the international community, after the very inhospitable atmosphere which was created by our last presidential nutcase: George W. Bush. FULL STORY...
Both racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel (under an Irgun terrorist-based Government) and its close friend Apartheid Australia (under an extreme right-wing, racist, pro-coal, pro-war, climate criminal , war criminal, Australian Labor Party Government, aka the Labor Party, Government) continue to abuse their subject Indigenous people by grossly violating the Geneva Convention, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Rights of the Child Convention, the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Consider the consequences of the Israeli PR blitz that is now blanketing the world as its defiant answer to the United Nations’ authorized investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity by the state of Israel, known as the Goldstone Report. Ironically, the existence of the United Nations as an internationally accepted body charged with protection of all world citizens through its Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,..

The First World’s biggest Climate Liars are gathering at the UN in New York. Their Big Lies are the EU and now G8 “targets” of limiting temperature rise to 2 degrees C (now inevitable whatever we do) and of limiting atmosphere greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration to 450 ppm CO2-e (it is already at a dangerous 475 ppm).

Change won’t come to America without prior de-brainwashing
American progressives don’t appear to grasp the implications behind the fact that only slightly over half of those who voted in the last presidential election (53%) did so for Barack Obama, presumably to bring change for Americans as individuals, and also as a nation. FULL STORY...
There is a real infectious, raving madness abroad in the country today. I am mystified by the intensity of it, the amount of press and pundit attention it is getting and the absence of any logic or evidence behind it. Of course the behavior of Fox News, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, etc, etc, who have been gleefully fanning the flames, is unconscionable. The thought that ratings/dollars may be the big motivator for these demagogues is enough to make one vomit. FULL STORY...
Another first Monday in September to signal the end of summer for most everyone here in the United States; while for a small minority of Americans, Labor Day continues to mark the annual set-aside time to pay tribute to the working men and women in the labor movement who so bravely fought to bring a measure of economic and social justice not just for the union rank and file, but for the rest of us who parasitically have benefited from their struggle.

On 1 September 1939 German forces invaded Poland and on 3 September Britain declared war on Nazi Germany. Iran’s pro-peace, anti-drug, anti-racist President Ahmadinejad is correct that we need more research and education about WW2 – the racist Zionists (RZs) were involved in Nazi collaboration, Holocaust denial and the Holocaust.

On Labor Day we celebrate those who work - as opposed to those who inherit family wealth and those whose financial investments work so they don’t have to. Many workers who deserve to be honored on this special day have come from across the border. In a global economy, workers who strive for justice in their own country must, by necessity, unite with workers around the world. FULL STORY...
Politicians sometimes state their policy goals in quantitative terms and responsible scientists are then obliged to inform the public about what those policies will actually mean. This is particularly vital in relation to climate change that now acutely threatens the planet. FULL STORY...
