“Do you agree with the re-unification of the German Reich, and do you vote for the party of our leader, Adolph Hitler?”.... But let us not forget that our ballots are little better, if a lot less threatening. Where do I cast my vote to re-do the entire system? Why are there only two parties?

The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency has numerous detainment camps throughout the United States. Some camps have been recently constructed and / or renovated and are fully staffed. The existence of the camps coupled with Presidential Executive Orders giving the President and Department of Homeland Security (of which FEMA is now part) control over ‘national essential functions’ in the event of ‘catastrophic emergency’ have resulted in concerns that the camps will be used to forcefully detain American citizens for unconstitutional purposes. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/bizzareweird/43037-us-fema-campsThe United States Federal Emergency Management Agency has numerous detainment camps... more

Earlier this month, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released its much-trailed report ‘presenting new evidence’, said the BBC, ‘suggesting that Iran is secretly working to obtain a nuclear weapon.’ Relying on ‘evidence provided by more than 10 member states as well as its own information’, the IAEA said Iran had carried out activities ‘relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device’. Indeed, informed scepticism in the corporate media has been muted or non-existent - the image of Iran as a ‘nuclear threat’ has yet again been imposed on the public mind. Any reasonable news reader and viewer would find it extremely difficult to question the emphatic declarations offered right across the media ‘spectrum’. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43028-the-iaea-iranEarlier this month, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released its... more

I won't use many words or statistics. Both have been used before and they don't even begin to describe was is really happening. When we go to America we have an image. An image embedded or 'incepted' by decades of Hollywood films and the media. It's part of 'The American Dream' pumped out by a factory of dreams. We don't see the real people any more. We see characters being played by actors. But this time I went out in search of the real people. And I did see them. Like I have never seen them before. I began to think, is America haunted by what it has become and the way it got here? Or is it all about fiction, sitcoms and canned laughter? America is haunted all right. The ghosts are here. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/bizzareweird/43027-la-venice-beach-how-the-american-dream-become-a-nightmareI won't use many words or statistics.

What is happening in Syria feels like one of the last gasps of the age of the military dictators. An old way of running the world is still desperately trying to cling to power, but the underlying feeling in the west is that somehow Assad's archaic and cruel military rule will inevitably collapse and Syrians will move forward into a democratic age. That may, or may not, happen, but what is extraordinary is that we have been here before. Between 1947 and 1949 an odd group of idealists and hard realists in the American government set out to intervene in Syria. Their aim was to liberate the Syrian people from a corrupt autocratic elite - and allow true democracy to flourish. They did this because they were convinced that "the Syrian people are naturally democratic" and that all that was neccessary was to get rid of the elites - and a new world of "peace and progress" would inevitably emerge. What resulted was a disaster, and the consequences of that disaster then led, through a weird series of bloody twists and turns, to the rise to power of the Assad family and the widescale repression in Syria today. I thought I would tell that story. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43026-syria-bloody-travel-from-of-first-american-democratic-experiment-from-1947-2011What is happening in Syria feels like one of the last gasps of the age of the military... more

This is made for the people! Please share... the music was composed by my son years ago and when I heard it... it broke my heart to know that at 23 he was feeling the depth of a ticking time bomb... his world as he knew it then was certain to fail. He used the sound sample from the movie Network and electonically altered the message... I found myself glued to the images on the internet and was compelled to make this video. Power to the people!

The United States government killed an American citizen in Yemen on Friday in hostile action, despite not having declared war on the country or charging the citizen, American-born Anwar al-Awlaki, with a crime.
In a statement Friday morning, President Obama hailed the killing as "a major blow to al Qaeda's most active operational affiliate." He also said the death "marks another significant milestone in the broader effort to defeat al Qaeda."
Time magazine reported al Awlaki was killed by airstrikes by the secretive Joint Special Operations Command, the same unit that took out Osama bin Laden in May.

This video has been circulating on the Korean Internet this week of a black gentleman yelling at and threatening an elderly Korean couple. It's definitely going to be a viral hit by the end of the week, as it's making its rounds around the world as we speak...
Anyway, his violent behavior was the result of him misunderstanding the elderly man’s comment to him. The elderly man reportedly said “니가 여기 앉아” (a sign of consideration) but not knowing Korean, the man in question interpreted “니가” as the N-word which led to his violent outburst.

Cynthia McKinney ..... Thanks to all who have come out and participated in the Truth Tour. I have almost come to its end. Last night in Detroit, several of the women were moved to tears as I explained the situation in Libya right now as I know it to be. Every venue has had every seat occupied or was filled to capacity with standing room only. Detroit's young singer and band, Sister Ziyah and Black Rain were phenomenal and their music set the tone for the event: first song, Kickstart the Revolution; second song, Good Morning, America; third song, Today, I'm a Better Me. This Truth Tour has been unique because the true peace people in this country have revealed themselves by their willingness to step forward and be counted against this war in the very midst of the worst deceit and demonization ever. NATO war crimes are being excused, discounted, or covered up by those who posed as supporters of justice and peace. It is never OK to bomb people. And it is never OK to ask the peace-loving people of this country to sacrifice Social Security and Medicare and education and housing--and I could go on and on--so that war profiteers can fatten their ill-gotten coffers. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43002-libya-truth-tourCynthia McKinney .....

July 22 2011. A date for humanity to remember. NATO hit the Libyan water supply pipeline. It will take months to repair. Then on Saturday they hit the pipeline factory producing pipes to repair it. The Libyan leader Moammar Al Gaddafi informed members of the Security Council in his message that the alliance decided to carry out mass murder against the Libyan people by targeting their only drinking water source, where billions were invested and without it life stops in Libya. He wondered what's the relation between this factory and the protection of civilians that NATO claims it is carrying out? http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/42990-nato-attack-great-man-made-riverJuly 22 2011.

(Local reporter/columnists usually writes funny family columns on weekend..this is NOT funny.) I'm stepping off my usual editorial platform this week because I'm going to be serious, which is odd because I want to be serious about a birthday.
It's the nation's birthday that I want to discuss.
In point of fact the Declaration of Independence was neither adopted or signed on July 4, 1776, The Continental Congress actually voted for independence on July 2, and the formal signing of the Declaration of Independence didn't come until Aug. 7, according to the National Archive, but things are celebrated when we celebrate them. We are probably lucky our Congress hasn't arbitrarily decided to mark "Independence Day" on the second Friday in July just because.
What those men did in a poorly ventilated hall during the steamy summer in Philadelphia deserves recognition and honor.
In a way, to me at least, it is sad that we mark this auspicious day with picnics, and small boys, including adult males who are still small boys, playing with small explosives and little rockets.
Since I'm a newspaper reporter, I think of myself as a small "h," historian and I've always been fascinated by the Declaration of Independence and the men who authored it.
The reality of 1776 is that what would become the United States was then nothing more that a loosely associated collection of colonies who certainly thought of themselves as New Yorkers, or Virginians rather than Americans.
As a nation we couldn't have worked our way up to the status of a 98-pound weakling on the
international stage, but even so on that July day the Continental Congress thumbed its nose at our mother country, Great Britain, which also happened to be the biggest bully on anybody's block. In their declaration Congress said things out loud that had never been whispered before. They claimed the "right" to separate themselves from Britain,
Generations beyond number had accepted the concept that monarchs, by their birth, had been chosen by God to be rulers, and newborn America said that common men were "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
This claim could not have been more revolutionary, in any sense of the word, and for its makers more deadly.
Writing these words made all of the men involved guilty of high treason in the eyes of the British crown. They had quite literally signed their own death warrants, a fact that was not lost on the declaration's signatories.
They pinned their hopes, their lives, their families, and their fortunes on a dream, and 235 years later every person who carries the title American is the beneficiary of that dream.
As much as it pains this native son of the land of the free and the home of the brave, the dream is not fulfilled. As a nation and as a people, we are not all of what we could or should be, but I have walked the streets and breathed the air of countries on six different continents, and like Dorothy once repeated, "There's no place like home," and I'll tell anybody she was right!
