by Kiilu Nyasha
November 22, 2009

President Barack Obama has clearly stated, “We don’t torture.”

Oh, yes we do.  Big time.

A myriad of studies have clearly shown that human beings are social creatures – making prolonged isolation torture.

The New Yorker published an article March 30, 2009 by Atul Gawande titled, Hellhole: The United States holds tens of thousands of inmates in long-term solitary confinement. Is this torture?

Be American Buy American Cars and Products !
Be American! Buy American!!

I am an Indian living in Madras/Chennai. I don’t have any vested interest in the US economy. I only seek that Indo-US strategic partnership to counter terrorism grows from strength to strength.

Be American Buy American Cars and Products ! Administration alone can not help economic recovery. The people also should cooperate. They may start by buying American cars- even used ones thus creating an impression that American cars are just as good as any which is also true. After all mass production and use of car for transport was an American idea and a standard of living based on that became later the American dream.

Carnage at Fort Hood, Texas
[NOTE: This is a rewritten version: 11/6/09] (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal

    Once again, an American soldier has gone on a rampage, shooting other American soldiers.

    What makes this news even more remarkable than usual is the fact that the shooter is more than a soldier -- he's a doctor -- and a psychiatrist!

    Oh -- and he's Muslim.

    Major Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan reportedly opened fire against fellow soldiers, wounding several dozen, and killing at least 13 (at last count).

PETTUS, W. Va. – Early this morning two concerned citizens, Dea Goblirsch and Nick Martin, locked down to a drill rig on Coal River Mountain’s Bee Tree mountaintop removal site, effectively stopping blasting. Two others, Grace Williams and Laura Von Dolen, joined them in direct support, holding a banner with the message “Save Coal River Mountain”.

These nonviolent protestors have taken this action to bring attention to the extreme danger facing residents of the Coal River Valley from blasting near the Brushy Fork Impoundment. They plan to stay locked down until law enforcement removes them.

Honduran Accord Solidifies Coup D'Etat Rule - by Stephen Lendman

On October 29, Honduran coup d'etat "president" Roberto Micheletti announced that:

"....a few minutes ago I authorized my negotiating team to sign a final agreement" to let Congress and the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) decide whether or not deposed President Manuel Zelaya may return to office and complete the remaining weeks of his term, expiring on January 27. If he does, will it matter?

Zelaya is a wealthy businessman, a member of the right-wing Liberal Party (PL), a former National Congress Deputy from 1985 - 1998, a former PL Minster for Investment, and president from January 27, 2006 to when he was deposed on June 28.

In Europe Muslims are scene as freaks, in the US we tend to have a touch of a melting pot and Muslims tend to get such jobs as back tellers because Islam preaches honesty, but it may not be enough and the world could end up dividing into warring camps like bin Laden and Beck craves, but groups like the Daniel Pearl Foundation are trying to bring us all together instead.

Free Fool Shots! GHW Bush revealed that the Anthrax that is being used to terrorize the populace with the current flu epidemic is being produced at hundreds of bogus government Anthrax production sites nationwide.
