Mr President,
Your fellow countryman Bowe Bergdahl was liberated Saturday May 31st in exchange for five former high Taliban officials, held in Guantanamo. It is inadmissible that you have not yet taken measures to liberate the three Cubans Gerardo Hernández, Antonio Guerrero, and Ramón Labañino who (…)

The World should urgently make 4 July Independence from America Day. Make no mistake, the World loves and is inspired by the best of America, and notably by the best of its entertainers, sportsmen, writers, scholars, scientists, musicians, artists, actors, heroes and activists, and in particular we love American ideals as expressed in the American Declaration of Independence and the small community values of friendship, goodwill, tolerance and altruism. However America has progressively (…)

In my recent Pravda.Ru article THE SUPREME COURT OF THE CORPORATE INTERESTS (07/02/14), I discussed the egregious corruption, bias, racism, hypocrisy, and politicization infecting today’s United States Supreme Court. In this article, I will analyze how this court’s recent ruling in the case of Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby Stores confirms the magnitude of this infection, and why all Americans, regardless of whether they agree with the Hobby Lobby decision or not, should be concerned.
To review, (…)

One day, if there is any justice and sanity left in this world, five damnable reprobates—John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy—will be forever condemned as the five so-called “justices” who transformed the United States Supreme Court into the most racist and corrupt institution in American history.
Undoubtedly many legal scholars are now shaking their heads in disagreement, recalling the plethora of racist and anti-labor decisions made by (…)

“Capital in the Twenty-First Century” by French economist Professor Thomas Piketty (Paris School of Economics, France) is a very readable, information-rich, must-read book about the basis of capital accumulation inequality past, present and future. In short, notwithstanding the expansion of democracy and social welfare in the 20th century, the world’s wealth is overwhelmingly concentrated the hands of the rich [1].
Thus, according to Oxfam “[Its] report, Working for the Few, shows that (…)

There is a Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust in which currently 17 million people die avoidably each year from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease in the Developing World (minus China) [1].
This is happening on Spaceship Earth with the flight deck under the control of the 10% richest who have about 90% of the wealth of the World and who in turn are controlled by One Percenters who own about half the wealth of the World.
An annual global wealth tax of about 4% would yield (…)

Here is a passage from my book, Business Voyages, a business bible, at http://www.amazon.com/Business-Voyages-Schemata-Discovering-Co-Constructing/dp/1413480810, written in 2007, embarking on page 680:
“Suicide bombing by Muslims it seems to me started in Israel because of injustices inflicted on Palestinians by Christians and Jews. Real injustices have been and still are being perpetrated against Muslims on the ground in Palestine by Jews, and these injustices should be corrected and (…)

IRAQ, ISIS, AND INTERVENTION: JUST WHAT IS GOING ON?
John Chuckman
As so often is the case in foreign affairs, we will never know with precision what is happening in Iraq. The governments involved have reasons to disguise what they are doing, and a number of governments are indeed at work there. The press doesn’t spend the resources needed to discover the facts, thus saving government considerable embarrassment and themselves a good deal of work. But, if you look carefully, there are (…)

By Nicola Nasser*
Excluding “boots on the ground” and leaving combat missions to local and regional “partners,” President Barak Obama and his administration say the United States keeps “all options on the table” to respond militarily to the terrorists’ threat to “American interests” in Iraq, which are now in “danger.”
Similarly, former UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on TV screens and in print has recently urged western governments to “put aside the differences of the past and act now” (…)
