Palestinian Authority Recommends Whitewashing Gaza War Crimes Posted: 29 Sep 2010 01:17 PM PDT Who do they serve anyway? It's clear from the sham peace talks and a new development. The Mahmoud Abbas-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) wants Israel absolved of accountability for Cast Lead crimes of war and against humanity. No matter that conclusive evidence exposed them, the result of the IDF's 23-day day rampage, killing over 1,400, injuring over 5,000, many severely, and practically leveling wide areas of Gaza, affecting mostly civilian and non-military related targets. Besides other investigations, two UN Human Rights Council (HRC) ones unequivocally condemned Israel's lawlessness, each demanding accountability.

Mission Creep: TSA to Implement "Secure Flight" On November 1 Posted: 29 Sep 2010 01:11 PM PDT On November 1, boarding an aircraft in the United States will become more intrusive. That's when the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration will begin enforcing something called "Secure Flight." In June, DHS boss Janet Napolitano announced "that 100 percent of passengers traveling within the United States and its territories are now being checked against terrorist watchlists through the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Secure Flight program," as recommended by the 9/11 white wash commission.

Who Really Runs the New World Order Exposed Posted: 29 Sep 2010 12:39 PM PDT Alex Jones extends his remarks on Glenn Beck, the co-opting of the Tea Party movement and who really runs the New World Order in a follow-up video address to "Is Glenn Beck for Real?" Despite what figures like Beck have portrayed, this global system is not run by Marxist ideologues or Communist revolutionaries; those groups and others are controlled by a psychopathic, offshore, corporate elite cabal who have sophisticated control over most of the world's resources, peoples and territories.

Miliband's maiden speech welcomed across the Middle East Posted: 29 Sep 2010 12:10 PM PDT Ed Miliband's maiden speech as the leader of the Labour Party has drawn scorn from the right-wing media and the pro-Israel lobby. It also provoked the wrath of New Labour die-hards. Across the Middle East, however, the reaction has been noticeably different. Perhaps for the first time ever, a speech by the leader of the main opposition party in Britain has received a lot of media coverage and been broadly welcomed. What did he say to provoke the Israel lobby and prompt praise from Arab commentators? It all boils down to the fact that he called for strong action to implement international law in the Middle East, clearly too much to stomach for the lobby and its supporters on the right of the political spectrum.

UN report into flotilla attack exposes Israeli lies and criminality Posted: 29 Sep 2010 11:41 AM PDT Israel has been condemned, yet again, by the United Nations for serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian laws. A UN report released last week has confirmed that there is "clear evidence to support prosecutions" against the Israeli authorities for the crimes of "wilful killing; torture or inhumane treatment; and wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health." These are just some of the damning conclusions reached by the United Nations Human Rights Council report which investigated the circumstances of the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza in which nine of the humanitarians on board the Mavi Marmara were killed, dozens were injured, and hundreds of the civilian passengers were abused, detained illegally and transferred to Israel by Israeli commandos. This report has been awaited anxiously by many who have been seeking clarification of the events that took place on 31st May this year.

The Palestinian Authority and supporting settlement activity Posted: 29 Sep 2010 08:30 AM PDT The anchor at the TV station was surprised when I told him that the Palestinian Authority supported settlement activity and that I do not care what I hear in the media as much as I do for what I see on the ground. At this stage of the interview I had thrown his prepared questions into disarray and he had no option but to follow my train of thought and examine what I had said. I did not expect the anchor to agree with my opinion because the media was full of news about the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations; settlement is a Zionist activity which continues to hinder progress at the talks. He might, therefore, have regarded my statement as an attempt to smear the Palestinian Authority. However, I still believe that I am correct with my opinion, for the following reasons:

In search of a great Arab leader? Posted: 29 Sep 2010 07:33 AM PDT Forty years after the death of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the late Egyptian president, his position remains unfilled: No other leader has emerged as a symbol of pan-Arab unity and the struggle for independence from Western influence. Nasser, who was the president of Egypt between 1956 and 1970, wielded great influence on the Arab intelligentsia and masses alike. His weekly speeches brought Arab streets to a standstill as the people listened, mesmerised, to his every sentence broadcast on Egyptian radio.

Feds Force Trucks Into "Counter-terror" Checkpoint Posted: 29 Sep 2010 06:53 AM PDT Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation, and the Transportation Security Administration are forcing trucks into a "counter-terror" checkpoint outside of Atlanta. "A team of federal agents stopped tractor-trailers on Interstate 20 just west of Atlanta, inspecting each truck as it passed through a weigh station," WSBTV in Atlanta reports this morning. The operation is part of a "training exercise," according to authorities, and includes the participation of a Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPER) team, according to the news station.

Not 'settling' for nothing Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:51 AM PDT The one-lane road to Wadi Rahaal weaves its way through impossibly deep, rocky valleys, whose perimeters are speckled by Israeli settlements and settler outposts cascading from the hilltops. "It wasn't always like this," Shadi Fuwaghara, an energetic 23 year-old resident of Wadi Rahaal told me as we stepped outside in the searing afternoon heat.
