In fact for many of these first Zionists-most of them modernized, secular intellectuals-Jewish religion had become a burden. Seeing no other way to be Jewish except the religious, most might well have assimilated completely into their European environment. The first great leader of the Zionist movement, Theodore Herzl (himself a highly assimilated Jew), wrote in his classic pamphlet The Jewish State: “If only we were left in peace…” The ellipsis spoke more el...

Congress, especially the House of Representatives, was never conceived of as separate and distinct from the people, but rather as one with the people, directly derived from their collective will via the electoral process. Unfortunately today, few Americans identify with Congress. An "us versus them" mentality pervades. This mentality creates the crack in the moral and social contract which exists regarding a citizenry and its mi...

Two massive failures by the American media, the Democratic Party, and the American people have paved the way for Cheney’s long planned attack on Iran. One failure is the lack of skepticism about the US government’s explanation of 9/11. The other failure is the Democrats’ refusal to begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush for lying to the Congress, the Ame...

Since 1901, Monsanto has brought us Agent Orange, PCBs, Terminator seeds and recombined milk, among other infamous products. But it's currently obsessed with the milk, or, more importantly, the milk labels, particularly those that read "rBST-free" or "rBGH-free." It's not the "BST" or "BGH" that bothers them so much; after all, bovine somatrophin, also known as bovine growth hormone, isn't exactly what the company is known for...

The Plain Dealer’s distaste for Kucinich is institutional. Since the 1970s, when he was the 31-year-old “boy mayor” of Cleveland, Kucinich has rubbed the city’s economic elites - for whom the Plain Dealer has often served as a friendly newspaper of record - wrong. Kucinich never behaved as the Plain Dealer’s editors expected a mayor to behave. He refused to bend to the demands of the downtown bankers and the corporate CEOs who had gotten used to local offici...

The injustice done by the US Department of Justice to Siegelman is so crystal clear that a participant in Karl Rove’s plan to destroy Siegelman can’t live with her conscience. Jill Simpson, a Republican lawyer who did opposition research for Rove, testified to the House Judiciary Committee and went public on 60 Minutes. Simpson said she was told by Bill Canary, the chief GOP political operative in Alabam...

Enter what fascists call the Homeland, what patriots used to call the United States of America, now named, simply, and appropriately, Amerika, a place where corporations enjoy more rights and protections than the People, where corporations -- through their products and policies -- help kill hundreds of thousands of human beings every year in the name of profit over people, making them mass murderers on a scale reserved ...

Note: If you go back and compare this to the nose through debacle video, I think you'll have to agree that this animator is considerably more talented than the amateur(s) who did that particular 9-11 video.
Listen to the witness interview/testimony of Wendell Klein (begins at 5:25), the Doorman on duty at the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel on the morning of 9-11, which would have put him in very close proximity to the North Tower when it was allegedly struck by American flight 11 (a Boeing 767 commercial jetliner) at 8:46 a.m.

... (of the Indonesian Army) kidnapped and murdered six Indonesian generals. The soldier claimed he carried out this attack to prevent the generals taking over the country in a CIA sponsored coup. In the confusion that followed these murders, General Suharto and his army blamed the Indonesian Communist Party, and mounted a coup to get rid of Prime Minister Sukarno. The CIA had got what they wanted and Sukarno was driven from power. After the coup, the CIA worked together with the generals to...
Commentary of youtuber, Boldstrummers:
I live in a dead country. America started this war and has shown the world that we have no value for a human life. We have murdered innocent babies, children, men and women. There is no shame in my country. What we have exported has deaden our own souls. There is truth to be faced for everyone someday for what we have done to others. No one will be allowed to escape that truth.
...In as much as I've always respected Bill Moyers (and still do), his lack of interest in exposing the 9-11 official story for the fairytale that it is, or in helping to bring exposure to the Sibel Edmonds case is very troubling.
It would seem that left gatekeepers are very much answerable to something other than the calling of honest journalism where at least some truths are concerned.
You're asking the right questions and Mr. Moyers should answer them. Why on Earth would he not be willin...

All this optimism is built upon a foundation of demonstrably false assumptions, revealed in the rhetoric of the campaign -- assumptions of which Democratic Party officials and Democratic voters might be readily disabused if they bothered to soberly reflect upon the most recent presidential elections and upon evidence that is plainly before them.
However, because these Democrats and progressives apparently prefer their blissful ignorance, they will likely be smiling all the way to a ...
"Part of the problem of the progressive left is that we have fragmented into dozens of organizations, each of which must struggle for funds and email addresses and all the rest. We need to fold ourselves back into the Democratic Party and thoroughly invigorate it. Do not worry that we will cause the Party to marginalize itself. If the Party can base its actions on good science, effective governance, and efficient delivery of the programs the people need, it will prosper across all the left and all the middle of the American political spectrum. But by splitting ourselves off into all these good government organizations we have left the party to the selfish elites, and they don't know how to serve the people or the truth, and that means they do not know how to win."
