The Godfather USA
From early childhood, US citizens are raised on a steady diet of pro-US
government propaganda that is fed to them at school and at home through the
media of television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, and popular
music. The propaganda presents the US government as an ethically superior
exemplar of justice for the entire world, as an exceptionally generous
contributor to global economic development, and as a benevolent arbiter of
world affairs. Furthermore, a great deal of crucial information about US
political history, particularly regarding events of the past half-century,
is not taught in US schools and is never allowed to appear in the
Mainstream Media outlets.

How Fear and Perceived Powerlessness Contributes to Manipulation by "God's
Agents" on Earth
In 1942-43 the American government commissioned a psychological study of
Adolf Hitler. It was published in a book titled "The Mind of Adolf Hitler"
by Walter Langer in 1972. Most of the analysis of Hitler in this article is
based on that book.
This is the second of five parts of "America's Hitler. Part one was posted
on May 1st.

'Everywhere I turned, I ran into sexual abuse'
According to Wall and his co-authors, if early church documents are a
guide, then the sexual abuse of minors by the clergy has been an "open
wound on the body of Christ" for centuries. They say that, as early as
AD309, the Council of Elvira, a gathering of bishops and priests from all
over the Iberian peninsula who met to discuss theological issues and set
canon law, signalled its concerns over paedophilia by ruling that any
bishop, priest or deacon caught offending should be denied holy communion
even at the time of death. By the eighth century, The Penitential of Bede,
a medieval handbook of penances usually ascribed to the Anglo-Saxon
theologian and early English historian Bede, had refined the punishments
according to rank. Thus laymen caught sodomising children were to be
excommunicated and made to fast for three years, while deacons and priests
were similarly excommunicated but made to fast for seven and 10 years
respectively (bishops were given 12 years of penance).

Iran-Israel Linkage By Bush Seen As Threat
President Bush is risking a backlash that could injure the Jewish community
and his own cause by repeatedly citing Israel as his top rationale for
possible U.S. military conflict with Iran, Jewish leaders and Middle East
analysts warned this week.
Well, with Israel cheering the US on to invade a bunch of countries, it is
easy to see why someone might come away with the impression that our kids
are dying for Israel's agenda.

Success is not the transition to death by electric drill
The argument of last resort for those who supported regime change has
always been that at least Saddam has gone and the torture chambers have
been closed. Even that has turned out to be an illusion, with the news that
the director of the Baghdad morgue has had to flee Iraq under threat of
death for revealing that thousands of Iraqis are being killed by death
squads, many of them linked to the interior ministry.

The Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq
The real news, which is not reported in the CNN "mainstream", is that the
Salvador Option has been invoked in Iraq. This is the campaign of terror by
death squads armed and trained by the US, which attack Sunnis and Shias
alike. The goal is the incitement of a real civil war and the break-up of
Iraq, the original war aim of Bush's administration. The ministry of the
interior in Baghdad, which is run by the CIA, directs the principal death
squads.

The failure of Bush in the Middle East
A the approach of the elections to the Congress, the medium of its second
and last presidential mandate, the assessment of George W Bush in the
Middle East - the most significant area currently for the international
politics - appears calamitous. Iraq is at the edge of the civil war. The
elections of December 15 2005 supported a Community logic dévastatrice, and
new Prime Minister tries it appears crushing. The economic situation of the
country is disastrous. The infrastructures were degraded compared to the
pre-war period. Half only the population has access to running water.

Cut and Run? You Bet. Why America must get out of Iraq now.
There is an unpleasant aspect to Iraq we need to face up to. The Iraq war
cannot be won. Ever.
And this has nothing to do with US military prowess. The US cannot win the
war in Iraq because none of the stated reasons for the war were true. The
US cannot force Iraq to surrender their weapons of mass destruction because
they did not have them. The US cannot punish Iraq for 9-11 because Iraq had
nothing to do with 9-11. The US cannot punish Iraq for supporting Al Qaeda
because Iraq was NOT supporting Al Qaeda.
None of the stated objectives were true. Therefore they cannot be achieved.
Ever. The war cannot be won. It can only be lost.
And it is being lost now.

The Nakba and Palestinian refugees today
What is the Nakba?
Nakba means Catastrophe in Arabic. It refers to the destruction of
Palestinian society in 1948 when more than 700,000 Palestinians fled or
were forced into exile by Israeli troops. Because the Palestinians were not
Jewish, their presence and predominant ownership of the land were obstacles
to the creation of a Jewish state. Their exodus, or Nakba, was already
nearly half- complete by May 1948, when Israel declared its independence
and the Arab states entered the fray.
Many Zionist leaders in Palestine openly favored transfer of the
indigenous Palestinian population. Zionist forces used clashes that erupted
as the British Mandate of Palestine came to an end in 1947-48 to rid as
much of the land of its Palestinian inhabitants as possible. By the end of
1948, more than 700,000 Palestinians 2/3 of the Palestinian population
fled in panic or were forcibly expelled. It is estimated that more than 50
percent fled under direct military assault. Others fled in panic as news of
massacres more than 100 civilians in the village of Deir Yassin and 200
in Tantura -- spread.

Brandeis Univ. censors artwork by Palestinian children
A bulldozer menaces a girl with ebony pigtails, who lies in a pool of
blood. A boy with an amputated leg balances on a crutch, in a tent city
with a Palestinian flag. A dove, dripping blood, perches against blue
barbed wire.
Palestinian teenagers painted those images at the request of an Israeli
Jewish student at Brandeis University, who said she wanted to use the art
to bring the Palestinian viewpoint to campus. But university officials
removed the paintings four days into a two-week exhibition in the Brandeis
library. University officials said the paintings depicted only one side of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lior Halperin, the student who organized
the exhibit, said the university censored an alternative view.

Russian Federation: Racism and xenophobia rife in Russian society
News Release Issued by the International Secretariat of Amnesty International
"We are not considered to be people. Were like a completely separate
state" - A man from a Roma settlement near St Petersburg.
"I didnt go to the police because Ive been hearing more cases that even
people that go to the police to make a report in the end it goes against
them..."
- Roni Kumi from Ghana was attacked by four men in a Moscow street.
Racially-motivated killings, beatings and discrimination are on the
increase in the Russian Federation, according to a new report published
today. The government of the country, currently chairing the Group of the
eight most-industrialized countries (G8 Group) and about to chair the
Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for the next six months, is
failing to sufficiently challenge xenophobia and intolerance.
