Ukraine: Amendments Curtailing Fundamental Rights and Freedoms Passed Into Law

Immediately and unconditionally repeal Law no. 3879, as it curtails fundamental human rights and freedoms in the Ukraine- William Nicholas Gomes

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Human Right Ambassador for Salem-News.com, William Nicholas Gomes, is concerned that, aside from the flagrant violations of the procedural rules of the Ukrainian Parliament, the amendments also violate Article 22 of the Ukrainian Constitution.

The document stipulates that the “content and scope of existing rights and freedoms shall not be diminished by the adoption of new laws or by introducing amendments to effective laws”.

Oregon Racism: a Deeply Rooted Problem

"It is especially important that we recognize the value of our Civil Rights laws and principles, because I think in a very literal sense, no one is truly free unless everyone is." - U.S. Senator Ron Wyden

(SALEM) - Fighting racism in Oregon as a reporter is a lonely job. The subject seems to hold little appeal for Oregon journalists by and large.

As reporters sleep on the job with these stories burning and begging for fair attention, we note that there are even fewer people battling racism from the ranks of law enforcement. Former Oregon prison guard William Coleman, is one of the few who has stayed the course, based on his moral code and federal law. He has been battling racial injustice on his own behalf and that of others, for nearly a decade.

WA County Oregon`s Abuse to An Innocent Woman

Another victim of Oregon's "justice system" being targeted by state officials and police, needs your help.

(SALEM) - In January 2010 Salem-News.com carried an article about Kimberly Petitt, an African-American woman in Oregon who was suffering extremely objectionable treatment by Oregon officials and a care home that caused the woman to lose almost all of her worldly belongings.

I produced video reports about this but our account with YouTube was politically targeted and closed down with more than 500 important videos and news reports. Sadly, to this day, I have been unable to recover the original files. Now there is a new chance to learn the story of one of Oregon's most unfortunate women...

Reinvestigate 911: New Play: `We MacBeth`

Evening shows at 7:30pm from Tuesday-Sunday, matinee shows on Sunday at 5:00pm.

(LONDON) - If you follow Reinvestigate 911, it will probably come as no surprise that many are beginning to think the US is a semi-democracy at best, with key events like the Kennedy assassination and 911 manipulated if not instigated by criminal networks at the top of the food chain.

A new play, written by an anonymous Washington insider tackles the big question: is there a link between some of the key events of the post World War Two world.

Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Disintegrate?

Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise. – Francis Bacon

(WASHINGTON, DC) - Disturbed about the content and quality of physicist Steven E. Jones’ 9/11 work, Drs. Morgan Reynolds and Judy Wood conducted a peer-review.

This review covers ten major issues which include demolition of WTC 7, demolitions of WTC 1&2, evidence for high-energy explosives, thermite, glowing aluminum, No Big Boeing Theory (NBB) and other issues. In the “truth movement,” it is vital that we police our own.

Domestic Abuse Perpetuated by the Abuse of Police Power

It is time we demand that “Protect and Serve” is not just a saying painted on a vehicle.

(SALEM) - As some of you may know, and some may not, I am a survivor of Domestic Abuse. I use the term “Domestic Abuse” because it was not only violence that was unacceptable in the relationship.

I believe that in all violent relationships there is an underlying pattern of abuse which involves psychological, emotional, physical and often sexual abuse. For victims this abuse it is like living in an environment of torture.

Police Attempt to Turn Tables Against Michigan Crime Victim Ted Visner

"My home and it's contents were stolen by the Isabella County Sheriff Department (Michigan) and I have been pursuing criminal charges against the police for the better part of three years now. Today I learned that I am under criminal investigation."

(SALEM) - Ted Visner is a victim of official corruption and now it appears the police are attempting to frame him to shut him up. Visner's hard reality is a cruel one.

He has been wrestling with unprecedented criminal behavior within the Isabella, Michigan Sheriff's Department in one of the most incredible stories we have ever reported.

Addressing the Income Equality Quandary

While the Ten Commandments declare, "Thou Shalt Not Steal", today's marketplace is rampant with multiple violations. If every alleged "thief" of consumer cash were incarcerated, we'd shortly run out of prison space.

(SALEM) - While the jingle-jingle of Christmas Bells has since subsided, gargantuan greenbacks are still very much in circulation. Recent news headlines have alerted us that more than half of the US Senate has now reached the "millionaire bracket". Why all the racket?

"Income Equality" as a frontline issue did not begin with the Obama Administration nor with Lyndon Johnson's clarion call to declare a War on Poverty. Nor did so-called "class war" start with Karl Marx.

Oregon`s Unmarked Police Cars are a Detriment to Public Safety

"It kind of freaked me out because it was like the middle of the night, and I realized this person was following me," - woman pulled over by fake unmarked cop

(SALEM) - Police in Oregon are creating a haven for potentially deadly police impersonators by increasingly using unmarked cars for routine traffic stops. Oregon's political leadership needs to ban this unorthodox "secret police" program before a young Oregon woman ends up dead.

Oregon FOX-12 is reporting a story about a woman who may have come very close to a bad ending. Her story typifies the problem magnified by the insistence of the law enforcement community in using this dangerous practice.

African-American Barred from Attending SEIU Meeting

Former employee says union is guilty of discrimination toward Blacks and preferential treatment of Whites.

(SALEM) - Allegations of racial unfairness are rife at the union representing employees of the Oregon State Hospital in Salem, SEIU (Service Employees International Union).

Salem resident William Coleman, a former state employee, says he was floored last summer when he was told he had to leave a union meeting. He would later learn that a former employee who is White, was allowed to attend the same meeting he was personally ejected from.
