-Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Global Research- Republicans and conservative Americans are still fighting Big Government in its welfare state form.

-Eleanor Brockel, Signs of the Times- Imagine that you inherit a centuries old building that has withstood the ravages of war, climate change and human neglect.

-Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Global Research- In the Western world truth no longer has any meaning. In its place stands agenda. Agenda is all important, because it is the way Washington achieves hegemony over the world and the American people. 9/11 was the “new Pearl Harbor” that the neoconservatives declared to be necessary for their planned … Continue reading
-Prof. Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research- The 2012 Mayan Prophecy has been readily distorted and misunderstood. The End of the Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012 has nothing to do with the “End of the World”. In fact, the Mayan calendar does not end on December 21st, 2012. Rather December 21 marks the beginning of a … Continue reading
-Gabriela Segura, M.D., Signs of the Times- I’m sick and tired of the anti-smoking culture that has taken over the entire world. I have had enough of hearing “don’t smoke, it’s bad for you!!” The ignorance that betrays such remarks is utterly abysmal, especially coming from people who should know better. So for all those … Continue reading
-Bernhard Guenther, Piercing the Veil of Reality- It is true, all we need is love. But do we really know what love is? Love is a word that is sung about in songs, written in poems, talked about a lot and it is something many people long for one way or the other, mostly in … Continue reading

-Eleanor Brockel, Signs of the Times- Skipton Castle in North Yorkshire dates back to 1090 and is one of the best preserved Norman strongholds existing in England today.

-Doug DiPasquale, Signs of the Times- I imagine I probably shot myself in the foot with the title of this piece. Over the years, health related journalism has beaten the artificial sweetener horse so beyond dead that I doubt anyone even pays attention to the words anymore.

-Seumas Milne, The Guardian/UK- Egypt’s foreign minister and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh (second and third from left) in a hospital in Gaza City on 20 November, visiting a Palestinian woman wounded in an Israeli air strike.

-Chris Hedges, Truthdig- Gaza is a window on our coming dystopia. The growing divide between the world’s elite and its miserable masses of humanity is maintained through spiraling violence. Many impoverished regions of the world, which have fallen off the economic cliff, are beginning to resemble Gaza, where 1.6 million Palestinians live in the planet’s … Continue reading
-Sami Kishawi, Sixteen Minutes to Palestine- Gilad Sharon, son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, wrote a piece for the Jerusalem Post this Sunday that gives new weight to phrase “like father, like son”.

-Joe Quinn, Signs of the Times- When a people that have been dispossessed of their land, livelihoods and homes, periodically murdered and regularly terrorized, take action to resist and defend themselves, they are guilty of nothing but standing up for their human rights and their rights under international law. BBC Arabic Photo Journalist, Jihad Masharawi, … Continue reading
-Anart Grey, Signs of the Times- Nothing has changed for soldiers since World War II, only now we try to drug away the terror, or train it away with video games, propaganda and even more lies. We are a nation that utilizes preemptive war to accomplish our financial and political objectives. This is fact. We … Continue reading
-Joe Quinn, Signs of the Times- I have to admit, as Presidential acceptance speeches go, Obama’s acceptance speech was impressive. It was emotionally provocative (for Americans and non-Americans alike), it was full of hope, calls to action and the collective responsibility of “we the people”. It was all about pumping popular pride in the great … Continue reading
-Michele Simon, Appetite For Profit- California’s Proposition 37, which would have required labeling of GMO foods, died a painful death last night. Despite polling in mid-September showing an overwhelming lead, the measure lost by 53 to 47 percent, which is relatively close considering the No side’s tactics.

-Stephen Lendman, SteveLendmanBlog- The same party wins every time. Duopoly power rules. America is a one party state with two wings. Each replicates the other.

Some of his best comments included: “Apparently, … Continue reading
-Niall Bradley, Signs of the Times- You’ve heard the story about the ‘Catholic terrorist’ Guido Fawkes and the English parliament. You know what they did to him when he was ratted out by informers.

-Chris Hedges, TruthDig- I learned at the age of 10, when I was shipped off to a New England boarding school where the hazing of younger boys was the principal form of recreation, that those who hunger for power are psychopathic bastards.
