Obama's "No Apology" Stance For Nukes Mirrors No Prosecution of CIA President Obama's dodge to excuse CIA torturers from prosecution for their Bush era war crimes when he took office was that he wanted to "look forward." Result: the CIA has killed thousands of additional people during his term. Now, he won't apologize for USA's WWII nuclear attacks when he visits Hiroshima this month on the same grounds. In fact, what he terms looking forward actually is turning a blind eye to war crimes.

Does CIA Project America's Highest Values? On Thursday the Deputy Director of the CIA told an audience at NYU law school that The Agency's operations reflect America's "highest values."

Zionists Entitled to Palestine? Why Not Other Aggrieved Peoples? The holocaust suffered by European Jewry during World War Two was not the only one during that war. The Chinese and the Russians also lost even more millions at the hands of the Japanese and the Germans.

Failure To Prosecute Bush For War Crimes Threatens World Peace If killers are free to kill and can walk away from their crimes, it is likely others will follow their example. Former President George W. Bush is one prominent example. This article cites three outstanding lawyers/human rights figures who establish beyond doubt the culpability of President Bush---and the remedies that may yet be taken.

Obama's Wars Hurting America's Middle Class Obama has failed to use his office for the betterment of humanity, instead, turning the nation instead into an ever-improved killing machine. Lost are precious opportunities to cure the world of disease and provide pure water for its abject millions.

America Going, (Going, Gone!) To The Dogs (Of War) When will Americans connect the fact that the humane activities of America---doing right by its citizens--are being starved so that the military-industrial complex(MIC) can live off the fat of the land? What's worse, the money MIC spends is actually for aggression that is killing millions of innocent people overseas. If Americans are going to take their country back, impeaching Obama is a good place to start.

3 U.S. Nuclear War Labs Should Be Shut The nation's three nuclear research laboratories are running on a treadmill of self-perpetuation that is going to cost the taxpayers a trillion dollars for nuclear weapons they likely do not want and certainly do not need.

In fact, the phrase is much too generous. A closer examination of Mr. Obama's conduct reveals that this imperial president ranks with "Bloody Mary" of England and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. It is despicable to compare him to Caligula, etc., but facts are facts.

America The Beautiful's Germ Warfare Rash This article first appeared in The Humanist magazine five years ago. It describes USA's germ warfare research, a program that endangers the nation and is a multi-billion dollar waste of taxpayers dollars. It is reprinted here in the hope scholars will update information on this very dangerous, and apparently criminal, program.

Crime of Guantanamo Continuing Under Obama Any legitimate legal authority anywhere in the world can call for the arrest of President Obama, who is subject to prosecution under a number of different statutes, the distinguished international legal author Francis Boyle says. Not the least of his crimes is the ongoing torture of Muslim and Arab prisoners in Guantanamo.

Obama's Call For Foreign Business Couldn't Come At Worse Time NSA Spying Story was broken about a decade ago by Washington journalist Bill Blum. Scooping up the info had little to do with protecting Americans from terrorism and everything to do with making an illegal buck.

This from a country that is sitting on an arsenal of hundreds of atomic bombs it will not allow the United Nations to inspect.

Historic Drought Ravages Southwest U.S. Climate warming is a factor in the drought afflicting the American Southwest, burning up cotton, wheat, soy and corn crops, costing untold numbers of jobs, depleting water supplies and escalating food prices, a national magazine reports. This is taking place largely during the Obama administration. Seemingly, the president's attention is fixed on foreign policy. Is he fiddling while the Southwest burns?

"Hiroshima" This poem is based on the reportage of John Hersey, found in his book "Hiroshima." The nuclear bombings of Japan overwhelmingly claimed the lives of civilians. This crime was compounded by the fact that Japan had already been saturated with napalm that destroyed much of 60 cities and the country was trying to surrender. Hiroshima was bombed on August 6, 1945.

Swanson Terms Obama "Force for destruction" To say that the Obama presidency has been a failure has become common among liberals. But it is worse than that. This intelligent and persuasive politician is playing a lead role in turning America into a totalitarian dictatorship---all the while wrapping himself in the mantle of Rev. King. Having worked in the civil rights movement as a professional with many of the top leaders I can't think of one who would support him.

Drone Strikes Affecting Thousands in Pakistan, Fueling Hatred of U.S. Residents of Pakistan's tribal areas, the targets of increasing numbers of U.S. drone attacks, live in greater fear than Britons during the "Blitz" of World War II. Their plight is made even worse by the CIA's practice of attacking first responders who come to the aid of those stricken. The result has been that first responders are refusing to come so that the wounded often are just left to die.

Its collection of stunning visions delights art enthusiasts just as if they were visiting the Museum of Modern Art in New York or the Chicago Art Institute. The basic difference is that the art works hung there are fabric, not canvas, but they are no less beautiful for that.

American Fascism, Polite and Otherwise Americans think of President Obama as a benevolent leader based on his defense of Social Security, Medicare, concern for gays, etc. But his foreign policy identifies him as a fascist, whose drone attacks alone are spreading death, panic, and destruction over ever-widening areas of the world. He, like his accomplices in the Pentagon, CIA, and Lockheed Martin, need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The time is ripe for a new non-violent mass movement based on love and compassion of the sort that transformed the country for the better in the 1950s and 1960s.

US Plan to Attack Iran with Nuclear Weapons, Devised Under Bush The U.S. currently has several, nuclear-armed carrier task forces in waters near Iran and has built more than 40 military bases in the countries surrounding Iran. The U.S. reportedly has 20,000 nuclear bombs available to use and Israel reportedly has another 200, whereas Iran is not known to have one. U.S. military spending of $700 billion a year, moreover, is 100 times the rate of Iran's $7 billion annual military outlay.

Hate Crimes Against U.S. Muslims On The Rise Are Muslims the new American Negroes? As they comprise just about 1 percent of the population, they do not have the numbers that African-Americans could muster in the Sixties to wage massive protests in defense of their rights. What's more, Afro-Americans never had a government-inspired propaganda campaign vilifying them as terrorists. In short, Muslims may be an easier minority to kick around.

Say Pentagon Spending Is Crimping U.S. Job Creation The idea that war is good for the economy is fallacious and here two professors of economy and research tell us why. If you wonder why libraries are closing early, schools are closing down, teachers are being laid off, and highway bridges are dropping into the drink, look no further than the military-industrial complex. It's eating your lunch, breakfast, and dinner.

Ex-Marine Turned Pacifist Now One of "Hancock 33" Russell Brown has got a conscience. He kept quiet about what he saw when fighting in Viet Nam but now he feels compelled to speak out, and does so, pointing out the criminality of drone warfare.

Little Caution Used in U.S. Drone Assassinations, Authorities Say Pentagon and CIA drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, etc., are nothing if not terrorist attacks, reflecting the sort of indiscriminate killing employed in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

U.S. Contingency Plans To Attack Iran Readied in 2005 Plans were drawn up in the Pentagon in the event of war with Iran that included an assault using both conventional and nuclear weapons. Professor Chossudovsky says if war breaks out the Pentagon may well employ these weapons.

U.S. and/or Israel Far More Likely To Attack Iran Than Iran to Attack Israel Put in historical perspective, Israel is far more liable to attack Iran than other way around. U.S./Israeli military budget is 700 times as great as what Iran spends.

Liberal Magazine Urges Obama To Quit Afghanistan Now How is it that the U.S. disposed of three industrial powers in less than four years in World War Two but cannot defeat insurgent forces in predominantly rural Afghanistan in more than a decade? If you didn't know any better, you might suspect the war was designed to feed the military-industrial complex budgets, an activity at which it has succeeded admirably.

Pentagon Continuing Foreign Base Expansion As it has 1,000 military bases on its own soil for defense, why does the U.S. need 1,100 bases abroad if not for the purpose of aggression? Nothing like this agglomeration of military power has ever been seen in human history---and its presence threatens to put an end to human history as well.

Assange: Pentagon Attempts To Quash Coverage With "Espionage" Charges If the Pentagon has its way, reporters will only be allowed to write up handouts from its press office.It will be bringing espionage charges against any reporter who obtains classified information. That will be a real problem for the media as the Pentagon likes to label everything "classified." If Thomas Paine is looking down from up high he's probably covering his eyes.

The New American Police State There are few, if any, areas left of a citizen's life in which the Federal government cannot probe. There is no citizen in the nation upon which the government cannot spy, remove from his or her abode and incarcerate indefinitely or for life in military detention. This article provides just a glance at some of the many areas in which a despotic government seeks to control its citizens as well as dominate the world.

You know you live in a police state when the president orders the assassination (i.e., murder) of American citizens without bothering to arrest them and bring them to trial. You know you live in a police state when police forces across the country attack unarmed and non-violent citizen protesters with pepper spray and clubs.

This means the private operators benefit the longer they keep prisoners in their cells. Taxpayers are learning that, far from reducing costs, private prisons are costlier to operate.

IKE'S GRANDSON SAYS IKE MEANT THAT WARNING! In a gentlemanly article, David Eisenhower, grandson of the general and president, says Dwight Eisenhower meant every word of his warning against the military-industrial complex. Well, the American people didn't listen and the moral and financial pickle they are in today is largely the outcome of their failure to pay attention when a decent human being puts them on notice as Ike did.

Since Obama took office, UK's Guardian reports, total Afghan civilian deaths have soared. In 2008, under President Bush, in his last year in office they were 2,118; in 2009, they rose to 2,412; and last year they rose again to 2,777. Does this sound to you like the war is winding down?

The answer may be, in part, that it is structured differently from most other law schools.

Manning's Torture Commonplace In U.S. Prisons Varieties of the isolation torture now being inflicted on Bradley Manning in the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., have long been used in U.S. prisons. By some estimates, 25,000 souls are currently being subjected to this nightmarish suffering, yet the public has done little or nothing to protest.

Assange Is Headed For Prosecution For WikiLeaks Disclosures Like the ancient philosopher Diogenes searching for an honest man, Julian Assange has used WikiLeaks to reveal the truth about U.S. totalitarianism by quoting its own words. The Greeks tolerated Diogenes and Alexander the Great said he envied the man but Barack Obama & Co. are out to prosecute him for embarrassing them before the world. The truth is dangerous and Obama will tolerate none of it.

Is it US Strategy to Wage Perpetual War in Afghanistan? Americans must consider the possibility that when candidate Obama conveyed the impression he favored withdrawing U.S. troops in 2011 that that perhaps was never his real intention at all. This president may not be a captive of the CIA but he is a former CIA employee and enables the CIA's role in the Middle East.

Is Real U.S. Afghan Strategy To Wage Perpetual War? After nine years of war after invading Afghanistan the Pentagon needs four more years and even then will leave a military presence in that country. This raises the question of whether the Pentagon or the President really wants out. Maybe they just want an extended war to fuel the military-industrial complex and ensure that all officers get promoted.

How Affirmative Action Brought Willie Mays To The Giants Critics of affirmative action once said it was a ploy to hire unqualified minority workers over white employees. In fact, it was the old employment system, finally toppled by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that had the quotas---it kept Negroes out of the better jobs. Savvy employers didn't care about skin color but reached out for the best talent around. That's how the New York Giants landed Negro star Willie Mays.

Why Leaders Must Be Held Accountable For Crimes One of the reasons given for the exemplary conduct of Japan in the post-World War Two era is that a number of their leaders were put on trial for war crimes and executed. The justice meted out by the Allies wasn't always on target but even so the memory of the trials lingers on to this day. By contrast, U.S. leaders that engaged in aggressive war since World War II have never been put on trial. Moral?

Plight of Black Poor Worsens It's the same old same old for the nation's black poor. The same today as in 1990; the same in 1990 as it was in 1960. The U.S. government would rather wage criminal wars overseas than rehab the ghettos or retrain its unemployed or rehouse its slum dwellers or better educate its poor children. Where's the civil rights movement?

Appeals from the UN and human rights groups to get Morocco to stop its inhumane policies have gotten nowhere so maybe, just maybe, a boycott of Moroccan watering holes might send the Royal Kingdom a message.

Prosecuting Bush and Cheney Could Spare Future Generations Every president since Truman has abused the democratic process in the conduct of foreign affairs. As Eisenhower was not punished for the overthrow of Iran, Kennedy was not punished for the Bay of Pigs and LBJ was not punished for Viet Nam, ad nauseum. Putting Bush & Co. on trial now could save future generations from even more ghastly wars.

Obama Says King Paved His Way, But King Would Reject Obama's Wars In his July 16th speech to the NAACP, President Obama praised civil rights leaders of the past who paved his road to the White House. Yet, the majority of those leaders opposed the Viet Nam war and more than likely would condemn Obama's war in Afghanistan.

Sooner or later the British would get tired of the war and quit. Does that sound familiar? America has not learned from its own history, Ellis says.

Law School Aptitude Tests Screen Out Minorities Why are fewer than 4% of all lawyers African-American and Hispanic? One key reason is that Law School Aptitude Tests screen them out. That goes for poor whites as well. Fewer minority lawyers, fewer lawyers from poor backgrounds, equals tax legislation in Congress to favor the rich.... think about it.

Bush's Warmed Over "Master Race" Philosophy The idea America has been "called" to spread democracy to the world has been used by presidents for at least a century. Hitler saw Germany at the top of a racial totem pole. The U.S. sees itself atop a nationalist totem pole. Bush may not say Americans are better than Iraqis but he doesn't have to. He acts that way.

An Afghan villager, for example, has access to the Internet, e-mail, satellite phone, and text messaging and these tools are thought to be more easily exploited by insurgents than the Afghan government. "In the information war, America and its allies are barely competing,"

Botero earlier painted the horrors of the drug traffic in his native land, and now outrage has led him to paint Abu Ghraib.

All the Revolutionary War did was to see the Colonists got cut in for their share and move the imperial capital from London to Washington, acknowledged or not. So why shouldn't America and England, partner in the Iraq war as in wars past, call themselves the United States of England?
