  • Blind At The Holy See
    23 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Wayne Besen
    In the wake of sex scandals involving children, the Roman Catholic Church should either change its mores or close its doors. Since 1950, the United States arm of the church has paid an astounding $2 billion to settle claims of childhood sexual abuse. Yes, that is billions with a capital "B" that could have gone towards raising orphans, housing the homeless and feeding the "foodless." Instead, the church has had to reach deep inside its pockets, because some priests can’t (…)

  • The Pious Publishers Are Already In Heaven
    10 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Wayne Besen
    Charlene Cothran (Venus magazine) and Michael Glatze (Young Gay America magazine editor) were gay niche publishers who discovered that peddling fiction is much juicer (and potentially more profitable) than selling straight news on gay life. The newly minted "ex-gay" stars tell us they have seen the light - unfortunately, it appears to be the spotlight - as they now parade themselves in the Christian media, pawning their terrific tales of transformation. Cothran and Glatze (…)

    by David R. Hoffman, Legal Editor of Pravda.Ru
    It is a decision that will live in infamy. It rivals Dred Scott, which held that African-Americans had no rights that white people were bound to respect, and Plessy vs. Ferguson, which upheld the segregationist doctrine of “separate but equal.” It, for all intents and purposes, destroyed the landmark ruling in Brown vs. Topeka, which declared that “separate but equal” is “inherently unequal.” It is one of the most racist, shortsighted and (…)

  • The Forgotten War on Drugs and Election ’08
    6 July 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    James Harris: This is Truthdig. James Harris here again with Josh Scheer and in-studio guest Dr. Troy Duster. We’ve been talking off-air about the relationship between the war on drugs and unemployment in poor and minority communities. Dr. Duster, for the record, why is it critical that we understand the war on drugs as it relates to social progress and perhaps social policy?
    Troy Duster: People often get trapped into the immediacy of the drug war. They believe that the police are the bad (…)

    Palestinians and Native Americans: The Inherent Struggle for Freedom and Justice
    By Ramzy Baroud
    Few can be as blunt regarding the legacy of the United States toward the native people of this land as the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. In his narrative, "The Winning of the West," Roosevelt spoke about the "spread of the English-speaking peoples over the world’s wasted spaces." He wrote: "The European settlers moved into an uninhabited waste...the land is really (…)

    Racist Restrictions in the US Prison System The Ongoing War on Native American Religious Practices
    By LEONARD PELTIER
    Religious freedom is a fundamental right of all, including American Indians, yet the struggle to preserve and protect our religion has always been a difficult one. More so when incarcerated Native Americans are concerned who tend to be given second rate acknowledgement by prison officials and mainstream faiths.
    In 1984 Robert Wilson, (Standing Deer) Albert Garza and I (…)

    Fallout from a Smear Finkelstein and The Progressive JOHN HALLE, CounterPunch
    June 16, 2007
    For those of us in the academy, among the most important stories of the week was a successful smear campaign waged by Alan Dershowitz and the Zionist lobby resulting in noted scholar and author Norman Finkelstein being denied tenure at DePaul University. The distinguished historian Raul Hilberg spoke for many in admitting to "a sinking feeling about the damage this will do to academic freedom." (…)

  • C4’s Jon Snow’s MSM complicity in totalitarianizing Britain
    8 June 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    In sheer frustration and anger with the lying media-machine, I started my blog, Chimes of Freedom, a short while after the false-flag bombings in London in July 2005. Nearly two years later, Channel Four TV News decided to broadcast a piece on a recent survey of British Muslims, showing the majority to believe that 7/7 was indeed a false flag operation for which the British government and its secret services were responsible.
    Readers are cautioned that this video of a C4 broadcast is in (…)

    Holsinger’s Founding of A Church That Tries To ’Cure’ Gay People Makes Him Unfit To Serve As Nation’s Top Doctor
    MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Truth Wins Out announced its strong and committed opposition today to President George W. Bush’s nomination for U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. James W. Holsinger, after it was revealed that he started a church in Lexington, Kentucky that has a ministry to "cure" gay people.
