Agent Orange Studies Overlook Vietnamese Americans

The numerous studies on American veterans of the war stand in stark contrast to what little is known about the health effects of dioxin in Vietnamese living in the United States.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - A few years ago, my father, a former naval officer in the South Vietnamese Army, developed liver cancer. The diagnosis followed decades of struggle with Hepatitis C, a viral infection he contracted through a blood transfusion during the war. A liver transplant saved his life.

More than two years since the operation, and my father’s life has been transformed from a state of “wait and see” to near normalcy, except for a daily regimen of dozens of pills.

The main causes of obesity and overweight are the lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits.

Not So Wild In The Streets: Revolution 2011

Our time has come....

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - Some of you might be old enough to recall a “silly” 60's movie titled “Wild In The Streets”, a Hollywood toss out starring Shelley Winters, Christopher Jones, Hal Holbrook and Richard Pryor (additional cameos by Ed Begley, Army Archerd, Melvin Belli, Gary Busey, Dick Clark, Pamela Mason, Bill Mumy, Bobby Sherman, Peter Tork, Barry Williams and Walter Winchell).

The premise of this fantasy was a takeover of the United States by teenage “Hippies” who sent adults to LSD camps for “reeducation”.

Goldberg vs. Mearsheimer

What is clear to the rest of us is that our Zionist detractors are fighting a lost battle.

(LONDON) - Professor John Mearsheimer is subject to a Zionist-trans-Atlantic-attack for supporting my latest book The Wandering Who.

Earlier this year John Mearsheimer, the highly respected international relations theorist and Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, wrote the following preliminary front matter for my book:

London JC Launches Attack on Prof. John Mearheimer

Being the amateurish outlet that it is, the JC has made at least two mistakes.

(LONDON) - I occasionally read the London JC: it provides a glimpse into Zionist paranoia, and it also depicts a true image of the ‘Nuevo Ghetto’ mentality.

Today, a week ahead of the publication of my new book The Wandering Who, the JC seems to be desperate to mount pressure on Professor John Mearsheimer, the highly respected academic who warmly endorsed my book. In the article below, the JC prints a collection of quotes from the book that are supposed to be both embarrassing and contentious (I made them bold). Needless to mention, I am standing firmly behind all of my quotes, and each of my words.

`Tears of Gaza` - The Movie

Vibeke Lokkeberg gives us the names, faces, and stories of three ordinary Gaza children with extraordinary spirits.

(LONDON) - ‘Tears of Gaza’ by Vibeke Lokkeberg is a documentary film that should be watched by every American, to see how Israel spends our taxes. Every European should watch it, to see the true face of Israel. It should be viewed by every Arab, to renew our resolve not to allow a racist nation to wipe Palestine and her children from the map and from history.

I had read the stories from Gaza after Israel’s so called “operation cast lead”. I had read the reports. I thought I had cried enough then not to cry again.

Veterans Today Supports Palestinian Statehood to Increase American National Security

Veteranstoday.com, the most widely read military and foreign affairs online journal urges President Obama to end the cycle of endangering American national security through continued ‘blank check’ support for Israel.

(CINCINNATI ) - This multi-decade policy has been a disaster not only for American relations in the region, but for Israel and its neighbors, also.

“The biblical claims that Israel has used to claim divine right to the land have no historical basis whatsoever. It was entirely made up to justify the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians”, states Gordon Duff, senior editor.

No Turkey This Thanksgiving

So why all the defensiveness about Israel when Israel is a liability and Turkey a valuable asset strategically

(WASHINGTON D.C. CNI) - .Turkey is an ally. Israel is not. Turkey has served United States strategic interests. Israel has not. Turkey has hosted American bases and committed its soldiers to support their American counterparts in combat. Israel has not.

Israel has done little more vis-à-vis the United States’ real interests than take more than a hundred billion dollars in taxpayer provided largesse, use Washington as a veto machine to protect its own interests, and betray all of that by spying and stealing defense secrets which were later traded to the Russians and sold to the Chinese.
