The English Bible Posted: 06 Feb 2011 05:17 AM PST Today, the Bible is the most popular book in the English language. When we read the Holy Scripture or hear it read in church we treat it with reverence, but it has not always been that way. In the 1520s, hundreds of Bibles, the first copies printed in English, were burned by the Roman Catholic Bishop of London. The first complete edition of the English New Testament by Tyndale was published in Worms in 1526.  It was illegal to own and those who had copies faced execution.  The Bibles were confiscated and burned by Roman authorities.  The whole printing was bought up by the church and burned in St. Paul's by Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall.

Haiti Update: Electoral Runoff and Aristide's Status Posted: 06 Feb 2011 01:45 AM PST With world attention focused on Middle East events, mainly Egypt's, Haiti's gotten little attention despite its compelling need for real change. So far, it's nowhere in sight, nor openly discussed, or demanded like visible millions are doing abroad. Stay tuned. It may happen if visceral anger spreads globally by enough people knowing that democratic freedoms depend on them - through massive, sustained grassroots pressure, accepting nothing less than ouster of corrupt, repressive regimes for equitable, just ones they choose.

Nuclear Disarmament Would Make U.S. Undisputed Arms Champ Posted: 05 Feb 2011 04:29 PM PST The Interpreter, the blog for Australia's Lowy Institute for International Policy, is hosting a debate on whether or not nuclear deterrence is still relevant (assuming it ever was). In his contribution, George Perkovich of the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace made an extraordinary statement. US interest in nuclear disarmament stems from the perception that a world without nuclear weapons would give it a greater advantage against others that might threaten it or its allies. The others -- particularly China, Russia and North Korea -- recognize this! They see the Obama agenda as a means of strengthening the US advantage. Hence they (and Pakistan) are likely to impede nuclear disarmament. How does this weaken extended nuclear deterrence?

Wise Latina: Discriminate Against Whites Posted: 05 Feb 2011 09:21 AM PST Sonia Sotomayor, the "Wise Latina" of the Supreme Court, recently made some headlines. She gave a speech to the University of Chicago Law School. There was a question and answer session with law students. Sotomayor made some candid remarks about her thoughts on "racial justice." She has kept a low profile since her confirmation hearings.

Genesis 15:18 Where Are the Egyptian Nationalists? Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:54 AM PST The hellish, thoroughly racist Jewish book of Genesis, chapter 15, verse 18, states:   "In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"

Not so idle threats Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:31 AM PST A Jewess lawyer has sued President Jimmy Carter for having defamed Israel in his new book, "Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid". The ex-president and his publisher, Simon and Schuster, are accused of perpetrating fraud against the Zionist state by misrepresenting facts and encouraging anti-Israeli actions. The lawsuit has no merit and shall of course be thrown out. That is a given. But what is fascinating is the brazen mindset involved. Israel was founded on fraud. The early Zionists, asserted, again and again, that they had no intention of creating a Jewish state at the expense of the Arabs. The Balfour Declaration itself eschewed the use of the word state. Nahum Sokolow, the famous Zionist leader, asserted in the introduction of his two volume "History of Zionism" that "it was never the intention of Zionism to establish a Jewish state in Palestine". Max Nordau admitted that the term "Heimstaat" (German for "national home") was intended "to deceive by its mildness until such time as we were ready to announce our real aim". How can a movement founded on fraud and deception possibly accuse anyone else of fraud and deception against Israel?

Reagan's 'Tear Down This Wall' Myth Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:22 AM PST As the United States celebrates Ronald Reagan's centennial birthday, the defining proof of his greatness as president will be represented by two sequential film clips – Reagan in Berlin ordering Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall," followed by scenes of the Berlin Wall coming down. The intended impression of this editing technique is to suggest a causal relationship: tough-guy Reagan tells the Soviet leader to do something and, poof, it's done. Ronald Reagan "wins the Cold War."

Jessica Alba's "One Eye" Illuminati Commercial Posted: 05 Feb 2011 07:25 AM PST How many times can you make the One-Eye sign in 15 seconds? Ask Jessica Alba.

Why David Cameron is wrong about radicalisation and multiculturalism Posted: 05 Feb 2011 04:32 AM PST Michael Gove has won. Late last month, writing in the Spectator, the Telegraph's chief political commentator Peter Oborne drew our attention to the "neconservative" faction inside the Conservative-led government: This section of the coalition also takes a hard line on domestic security arrangements, supporting control orders and the divisive Prevent strategy for confronting its special interpretation of the Islamic terror threat. Its key cabinet supporters include George Osborne, Liam Fox, Oliver Letwin, Michael Gove (whose book Celsius 7/7 sought to define the domestic war on terror with astonishing success) and, crucially, the home secretary, Theresa May. Baroness Neville-Jones, the one-time Whitehall spook who sits on the fancily named Security Council, is another well-placed though bone-headed supporter.

UN human rights expert Richard Falk under fire for 9/11 comments Posted: 05 Feb 2011 01:07 AM PST Powerful interests in Israel and the United States are intent on pulling strings to have Professor Richard Falk fired half way through his six-year term as the UN's Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territories occupied since 1967. Professor Falk earned the ire of his critics for his forthright reporting on the human rights catastrophe facing those Palestinians most subject to Israel's repressions. He recently reported, for instance, that the Palestinian refugees corralled together in the walled enclave of Gaza are "locked within the world's largest open-air prison, and victimized by one of the cruelest forms of belligerent occupation in the history of warfare." [1]"

The Future Posted: 05 Feb 2011 04:39 PM PST America has been ruled solely by fear and tyranny in the name of corrupt corporate power and the terroristic structure of the police-state that is intensifying its control over America; once the events of 911 freed these thugs to crack-down on every shred of democracy that might still threaten the autocratic rule of these traitors over those that are still clinging to the remnants of the US Republic. What is happening to Mubarak in Egypt now ought to be happening to Obama and his entire government here: Soon! The corruption within the leading Egyptian political party is the same among the two US political parties that are nothing more than two halves of the same corrupt-coin that has been ruling this place through fraud, corruption and treason since the creation of the fraudulent 'state' of Israel in 1948.

Potemkin America Posted: 05 Feb 2011 02:12 PM PST In 1961 I was a member of the student exchange program to the Soviet Union. It was the second year of the exchange and part of a diplomatic effort to achieve some thaw in the Cold War. There were three groups of us totaling approximately 35 American students. The Soviet authorities were not comfortable with us hanging out with Russian students, so we were kept constantly on the move. Consequently, we saw a lot of the communist country and its empire.

The Great Dictator: Heil Hynckel Posted: 05 Feb 2011 09:04 AM PST The Turner Classic Movie schedule for December featured The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin's first talking picture. The classic 1940 film was released one year before the U.S. abandoned its policy of neutrality and entered the Second World War. Chaplin, in The Great Dictator, satirizes the best-known evil person the world has ever known. Had the world known the extent of the misinformation surrounding Hitler, a former street cleaner and gay prostitute The Great Dictator, would be a documentary.

The harbor pilot Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:57 AM PST The captain and first mate were chatting on the bridge, miles from nowhere, and a fog bank up ahead, still low on the portside horizon. "Religion is such a waste of time," the captain whined, biting the end of his smoldering pipe, and causing a sharp pang in the throat of his much younger, somewhat evangelical first mate. "All it does is keep you from seeing God how He really is, because they tell you who they say he is, and if you've spent any time out in the real world, you know for sure that's not who He really is."

Listen to the People Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:39 AM PST Everyone is glued to their television sets. The scenes from Egypt's Tahreer [Liberation] Square, from Alexandria and from Suez are mesmerizing, especially for us nostalgic Palestinians who know what it feels like to revolt against an oppressive regime. At least we used to. The relative silence of the Palestinian street towards the historic events in the Arab world is perplexing, even to the most unfazed among us. While there is no doubt whatsoever that hearts and minds are in the right place, the question is why we are also not out on the streets in solidarity. The answer will vary, of course, depending on the respondent.

Israel, Thy Name is Arrogance Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:39 AM PST It goes without saying there is many an Arab leader right now spending sleepless nights, tossing and turning in the fear that their turn is next. The turn of events in the last few weeks has been nothing short of fascinating. I have spent hours, teary-eyed and goose-bumped, marveling at the strength, determination and sheer courage of Tunisians and Egyptians, of the images of Jordanians and Algerians as they take to the streets demanding change. Nowhere has this been more amazing than in Egypt as millions of people insist that the 30-year old autocracy of Hosni Mubarak come to an end. Most predictions give Mubarak a few weeks, if not days left in power, even though the aging president himself insists he will continue what is left of his term. As the protests grow louder and Mubarak's inevitable downfall grows closer, Tel Aviv's worry lines get deeper by the minute.

Assailing Assange on '60 Minutes' Posted: 05 Feb 2011 08:22 AM PST In a different era of American history – say, just a few decades ago – it would have been unthinkable for a major U.S. journalist to behave as if ferreting out government secrets and sharing them with the public was a bad thing. But Steve Kroft of CBS' "60 Minutes" acted in his interview with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as if Kroft had never heard of the First Amendment, as he took the side of the U.S. government in favor of hiding as many secrets as it wants from the American people.

Americans are Oppressed, Too Posted: 05 Feb 2011 02:17 AM PST Police in the US now rival criminals, and exceed terrorists, as the greatest threat to the American public. Rogelio Serrato is the latest case to be in the news of an innocent person murdered by the police. Serrato was the wrong man, but the Monterey County, California, SWAT team killed the 31-year old father of four and left the family home a charred ruin.

We're All Egyptians Now! Posted: 06 Feb 2011 01:48 AM PST And Tunisians, and Yemenis, and Algerians, and Jordanians, and Lebanese, and, of course, Palestinians, suffering for over six decades after Israel stole their historic homeland, over 43 years under brutal, suffocating occupation. Their struggle is ours, and it's high time we reacted, showing spirit as courageous as theirs. In her latest January 31 article, Phyllis Bennis headlined, "Tunisia's Spark and Egypt's Flame: the Middle East is Rising," asking:

Big Sis and NFL Turn Super Bowl Into Police State Posted: 05 Feb 2011 07:35 AM PST Earlier this week, Department of Homeland Security boss Janet Napolitano traveled to Arlington, Texas, where the Super Bowl will be held to shill the government's recently unveiled "If You See Something, Say Something" propaganda campaign. "We are partnering this year with the NFL on our 'If You See Something, Say Something' campaign and launching that NFL partnership right here at the Super Bowl," Napolitano said during a press conference on Monday at Cowboy Stadium.
