Canada’s prime minister recently addressed the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a globalist think tank that has been a driving force behind the push towards deeper North American integration. Continue reading →

The builders of Gaza’s Ark hope to bring Gazan goods to the world. The latest plan to try to break the illegal siege of Gaza, according to organizer Michael Coleman at June 9’s press conference in the port of Gaza, is to refurbish their very second-hand fishing boat, fill it with Gazan products (date products, embroidery, craft items and more) and sail to another Mediterranean port, like any normal exporter.

Recent revelations that the U.S. National Security Agency is conducting massive meta-data vacuuming of the phone calls and Internet transactions of tens of millions of Americans and, perhaps, billions of people around the world, with little or no effective oversight by President Obama, the U.S. Congress, or the federal court system means that the intelligence agency has become, in its own right, a global superpower.

(WMR)—CIA deputy director Michael Morrell resigned from his post just hours before the Obama White House, through deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, announced that the Obama administration had decided to provide weapons to the Syrian Free Army and its allied groups. Continue reading →

(WMR) — WMR has learned from a knowlegable National Security Agency (NSA) source that agency employees are using various NSA data mining and surveillance systems, including PRISM meta-data and phone call transcripts, to snoop on their wives and ex-spouses. In addition, some NSA employees have offered to sell such information to individuals outside of NSA who want the goods on their wives and ex-spouses. Continue reading →

(WMR)—President Obama did not want an encounter with the press in Los Angeles during his brief remarks on June 7 about health care to turn into a press conference. Obama said he didn’t “want the whole day to just be a bleeding press conference.” Continue reading →

Once upon a time there lived a Saudi Clan in a city called Sarasota in the United States. The clan was visited by Mohamed Atta—the government-designated top hijacking terrorist who according to the government led the largest terrorist event in United States’ history—known as 9/11. The clan’s Sarasota house was visited by this lead hijacking terrorist not once, not twice, but many times. The clan also had visits from two other US government-designated 9/11 hijacking terrorists—Marwan Al-Shehhi, who supposedly crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower, and Ziad Jarrah, who was supposedly at the controls of United Airlines Flight 93 when it crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.

Genocide is not too strong a term for what is now happening in South Dakota. The huge, shocking violation of legal and human rights being carried out by the state is tantamount to genocide against the Native American nations, the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Sioux, residing within its borders. It is the abduction and kidnapping by state officials, under the cover of law, of American Indian children. Continue reading →

DALARNA, Sweden—The Swedish riots appear to have ended, but while most of the media fumbles about to understand what happened, the answers arguably seem to have been provided 12 March, over two months before the unrest began. At that time I interviewed Paul Lappalainen, a senior Swedish civil servant who had run the Government’s 2005 inquiry into ‘structural discrimination.’ It was a most prescient moment when he said “I prefer not seeing riots,” but warned it “seems that policymakers are not trying to avoid the conditions within which riots occur.” Continue reading →

In February the Guardian and BBC Arabic unveiled a documentary exploring the role of retired Colonel James Steele in the recruitment, training and initial deployments of the CIA advised and funded Special Police Commandos in Iraq. Continue reading →

Over one hundred years ago, the Syrian thinker and one of the pioneers of the Arab renaissance, Abd al-Raḥman al-Kawakibi, wrote in his treatise The Nature of Despotism: “The end of the tyrannical state does not only affect the tyrants. The destruction engulfs the people, their land and their homes. Because the tyrannical state in its final stages strikes randomly at all and sundry like an ox or an elephant gone berserk in a pottery shop. The tyrannical state will destroy itself, and in the process will destroy its offspring and its entire kin before succumbing to its inevitable demise.” Continue reading →

(WMR)—Just as U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon was wrapping up his meetings with top Chinese officials in Beijing to set the stage for President Obama’s June 7–8 summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Rancho Mirage, California, The Washington Post published from a leaked confidential report, prepared by the Defense Science Board, claiming that Chinese cyber-spies have gained access to the technological secrets of America’s most advanced weapon systems. Continue reading →

(WMR)—Last week, President Obama proclaimed that George W. Bush’s “global war on terrorism” must come to a close and that, henceforth, the United States would respond to planned or actual acts of terrorism with traditional counter-terrorism, something short of full-blown global warfare. So-called liberals lauded Obama’s actions. Continue reading →

KABUL—When she was 24 years old, in 1979, Fahima Vorgetts left Afghanistan. By reputation, she had been outspoken, even rebellious, in her opposition to injustice and oppression; and family and friends, concerned for her safety, had urged her to go abroad. Continue reading →

I was born in India but I do not know my actual birth date. I always felt strongly and have fleeting memories that I was well loved and cared for in the early part of my life. Around the age of 3 or 4 years old while I was sleeping, a woman stole me from my bed and my family in the night. The details are too much to go into but this link will tell the story of my early years. Continue reading →

David M. Jacobson wanted a transcript of a public hearing conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) on May 2. The public meeting was to allow persons to discuss a proposal by National Gypsum and En-Tire Logistics to build a tire burner plant in Union County that would burn about 100 million pounds of shredded tires each year, and convert part of that to electricity to benefit National Gypsum, with the rest taken to landfills. Jacobson is a member of Organizations United for the Environment (OUE), which objects to the plant because of the amount of pollutants that would be sent into the atmosphere. Continue reading →

KABUL, May 21, 2013—Since 2009, Voices for Creative Nonviolence has maintained a grim record we call the “The Afghan Atrocities Update” which gives the dates, locations, numbers and names of Afghan civilians killed by NATO forces. Even with details culled from news reports, these data can’t help but merge into one large statistic, something about terrible pain that’s worth caring about but that is happening very far away. Continue reading →

(WMR)—President Obama’s Nixonian assault on the press is rooted in the mistaken belief that leaks of “national security” information can do great harm to the country’s security. Therefore, Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, a former District of Columbia judge who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan and vetted by the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, have brought the government’s immense surveillance capabilities on reporters for The New York Times, the Associated Press, The Smoking Gun website, Fox News, and now, according to one of its Washington reporters, CBS News. Continue reading →

(WMR)—President Obama, in his typical Machiavellian fashion, says he “offers no apologies” for the subpoena of two months of Associated Press phone calls covering the conversations, and quite possibly the cell phone text messages, of over 100 reporters. Continue reading →

A whistleblower has revealed extraordinary information on the U.S. government’s support for international terrorist networks and organised crime. The government has denied the allegations yet gone to extraordinary lengths to silence her. Her critics have derided her as a fabulist and fabricator. But now comes word that some of her most serious allegations were confirmed by a major European newspaper only to be squashed at the request of the U.S. government. Continue reading →

BARTOW, FL—Florida State Attorneys have announced that they will not file felony charges against Kiera Wilmot, the 16-year-old Florida student arrested and escorted off school property after she conducted a science experiment that caused a water bottle to “pop” and “smoke.” The announcement by the Florida State Attorney’s office comes after a petition on Change.org calling for the charges to be dropped was signed by more than 195,000 people from across the country. Continue reading →

(WMR)—Former neighbors of Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, paint a picture of a confrontational individual who was always spoiling for a fight, whether as the Sully region representative on the Advisory Committee for the Fairfax County Public Schools Social Studies curriculum or as the self-designated gauleiter of his North Riding community in Fairfax County in suburban Washington, DC. Continue reading →

(WMR)—Twenty years ago it would have been unthinkable for a U.S. Navy museum dedicated to naval undersea warfare to all but totally ignore the late Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, the Russian-born “father of the U.S. nuclear Navy.” Continue reading →

(WMR)—Chabad Lubavitch Jews from Israel and the United States are moving in to the Jewish Autonomous Republic of Birobidzhan to build up the numbers, as well as economic and political power of the region’s current Jewish population of 4,000, which is only 2 percent of the republic’s overall population.

As they spoke to a BBC correspondent in their run down room, which they call home in Dhaka, Bangladesh, a man sobbed as his 12-year-old daughter sat close to him. Continue reading →

MAKAH RESERVATION, Wash. (WMR)—Corporations, in league with federal and state governments, have established a new protocol to deal with major environmental disasters. Using the twin weapons of secretive clean-ups and public relations media blitzes, corporations have a new weapon to add to their other programs of austerity and privatization to seize control of the planet from the people who inhabit it. Continue reading →

As the Cold War between the USSR and the USA drew down in the early 1990s, organizations/institutions used to fund proxy wars—and destabilization efforts—between the two Empires became exposed. With the Cold War ostensibly over, the corrupt and illegal actions of such groups could no longer be ignored, or covered up, as the larger purpose of them was to fund the fight against the Red Menace of Communism. Continue reading →

The world is taking note of the ruling Conservatives’ shameful betrayal of Canada’s once admirable reputation as a fair country, sincerely working on the world stage to improve the lot of the disadvantaged and suffering. In the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review, Canada was criticized to such an extent that the Council decided to send the Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and representatives of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, to investigate.

In March, the Canadian government introduced a bill that would bring about sweeping changes to its copyright and trademark laws. This includes giving more power to customs and border protection agents without any judicial oversight. The move is intended to prevent counterfeit goods from entering the country, but has been criticized for being less about protecting Canadians and more about caving to American demands. With the U.S. dictating global intellectual property standards, the new legislation represents the return of ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) and would pave the way for Canada to ratify the controversial international treaty. Continue reading →

(WMR)—The Chechen origin and reported military training of the two suspect brothers in the Boston Marathon bombing, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsaraev, raises some pointed questions about past U.S. support for the Chechen insurgency and who sponsored the brothers to live in the United States, paid for their college tuition, receive military training abroad, and paid for Tamerlan’s Wai Kru mixed martial arts training in Boston.

(WMR)—The Qatari- and Saudi-backed Salafists, Muslim radicals who follow the extreme radical Wahhabi sect of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the rest of the Gulf, have now moved into a governing position in the Central African Republic (CAR). Continue reading →
