1.  “9/11 Truth candidate for U.S. Senate

I recently became aware of Richard Curtis, PhD, a candidate for U.S. Senate from the State of Washington

His website: http://www.richardcurtisphd.com/index.html

“Based on the philosophy that the current government “is not working for ordinary Americans,” philosophy professor Richard Curtis is planning to challenge U.S. Sen. Patty Murray in the November election. Running as an independent, Curtis says he is backed by a “historic” coalition of people who identify with the Green, Socialist, Libertarian, and Democratic parties.”


His perspective on 9/11: http://www.seattlepi.com/opinion/270284_connellyrebut16.html

“The commission’s conclusions and recommendations should be totally rejected. Its story is full of lies, distortions and omissions of fact. Following are two of the more than 40 reasons why the official story about what happened on 9/11 is untrue.”


Richard Curtis, Ph.D., is an adjunct professor of philosophy at Seattle University and a member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth; www.st911.org.”

2.  Here we go again.  More war crimes, coming up:

3.  I wonder if any of them actually did anything?

“US convicted 403 for international terror since 2001″

4.  “Israel-US Row to Iran’s benefit; Sanctions Regime Watered Down

The sanctions resolution being prepared by the US on behalf of the United Nations was abruptly watered down to meet Russian and Chinese objections. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad responded to the news, saying sanctions had no ability to harm or influence Iran. (He might have added, ‘especially watered down ones’!)

That China and Russia know how tense US-Israeli ties are at the moment may also incline them to avoid the sanctions route.

Netanyahu is convinced that Iran is committed to acquiring a nuclear weapon (a proposition for which there is no firm evidence), and is further convinced that such a development would pose an existential threat to Israel. It is unclear why he reaches that conclusion, since Mutual Assured Destruction would operate to deter Iran from attacking Israel (which has 200 nuclear warheads), lest it be devastated itself. It is a ludicrous idea that the shrewd and pragmatic leadership in Tehran, which has launched no wars since coming to power and has dealt cannily with a multitude of challenges, consists of erratic madmen who would risk seeing their capital annihilated. Not to mention that there is no good evidence that they have a weapons program, and every reason to think that they are a decade or more away from a nuclear warhead even if they did. Some of the more hysterical pronouncements attributed to Netanyahu and to his foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, if true, would also raise questions about the safety of the nukes in Israel’s arsenal.”

5.  “Leaked CIA Report: “Public Apathy Enables Leaders To Ignore Voters” In Waging Endless Wars

A leaked CIA report says:

Public apathy enables leaders to ignore voters.

The report is discussing apathy among the French and German people to their countries’ involvement in the war in Afghanistan, but the same is true to the apathy of Americans towards the Iraq and other wars as well.”

7.  “The right-wing need for victimization and Israel

As Daniel Larison recently pointed out:  the Israel-as-victim polemicists “cannot point to any decrease in Obama’s actual support for Israel, because there has been no decrease of any kind.”  Kevin Sullivan added:  ”President Obama has done nothing to change America’s strategic relationship with Israel.”  Given the endless largesse that country continues to receive, the fact that American devotees of Israel nonetheless try to depict Israel as some sort of grave victim of the Obama administration — and now even try to claim that Obama harbors hatred for Israel and Jews — reveals how endless is their sense of entitlement for that foreign country, how vast is their craving for self-victimization, how shameless is their cheap exploitation of anti-semitism accusations, and how complete is their break from reality.”

8.  “DC’s most experienced journalist says Obama lost credibility when he dodged question on Israeli nukes

In part one of his interview with Helen Thomas, longest-serving member of the White House Press Corps, Paul Jay asks her about her first question for President Obama. The question, asking President Obama to name all the countries in the Middle-East that have nuclear weapons, was avoided by the President, who claimed to not want to “speculate”. Thomas claims that knowledge of Israeli nukes is very public in DC and Obama’s answer shows a lack of credibility. She explains the importance of this question for U.S. policy in the region. Finally, she confides that she has not been called on by the President since that day, but that if she does, she will ask him whether or not he has found any more information about nukes in the Middle-East since their last encounter.”

9.  “An Act of Treason by Members of the United States Congress?

It must have been realised that the letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, signed by nearly 300 members of the U.S. Congress, affirming their commitment to Israel, would be widely publicised and fall into the hands of that illegal Apartheid State, so the writing and signing of that letter should be considered an act of treason.

The letter has totally undermined the power of the President of the United States by virtually telling Israel: “It does not matter what you do to the Palestinians, how many illegal structures you build on the territory you stole from them; how you behave towards the Lebanese, or what you have in mind for Iran, we, the signatories on this letter are with you, all the way.”
