Veterans Administration Needs to Take Charge and Become Advocates for Change

If our nation rescinds its promises and ignores its obligation to those who have fought to preserve freedom throughout the world, we compromise the right to ask our men and women to serve and defend our national principals.

(GARDEN GROVE, Calif.) - Veterans-For-Change, an advocacy group for Veterans rights, benefits, and treatment, would like to bring to your attention the ever-increasing problems affecting veterans and their families every day.

President Obama has clearly stated, “Whether you left the service in 2009 or 1949, we will fulfill our responsibility to deliver the benefits and care that you earned. That's why I've pledged to build nothing less than a 21st-century VA”.

Extremely Powerful Video: `Even The Troops Are Waking Up`

"We were told we were fighting terrorists, the real terrorist who's me and the real terrorism is this occupation..."

(SALEM, Ore.) - Do you consider yourself pro-war? Watch this video and then answer that question again. It is likely to change. The intensity of a combat veteran turned anti-war can be serious.

Not because of anger or loud words, but because of the credibility for having bore witness to the ultimate trick, the deadliest game.

Physicians Without Morals

We expect our physicians and psychologists to maintain a high standard of ethics, a high duty to their patients, and often to put the interests of their patients ahead of their own interests.

(SAN FRANCISCO) - There is increasing evidence that United States physicians, psychologists, nurses, and medics have been complicit in torture and other illegal procedures in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo.

They violated one of the principal precepts of medical ethics: "First, do no harm."

The Blood of Christ

Unity through Diversity, with mutual respect for all, will produce better and longer-lasting results than absolute obedience to absolute authority.

(PASO ROBLES, Calif.) - Christianity evolved as a plan by a coterie of Judaic sectarians convinced its philosophy of One God for All Nations should replace Judaism’s One God of the Jewish Nation.

The cult hoped initially to exalt the Jewish God by making him the God of All Nations, a concept unacceptable to Jewish leaders who may have objected to being less than Jehovah's Chosen People.

Doubt Thrown on Proof of Bin Laden`s Role as Terrorist Leader

No wonder there is no reference to 9/11 on Bin Laden's FBI wanted poster.

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - The CIA recently told the press they haven't been able to positively confirm information on Osama bin Laden since “late 2000.”

Interviews with high ranking military and intelligence officials, some at the highest levels, have confirmed that all evidence lends toward Osama bin Laden’s death in December 2001.

Representative Kurt Schrader as an Afghan War Strategist

The same goes for DeFazio, Wu and Blumenauer.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Don’t think that I don’t have the greatest respect AND empathy for these people. Washington DC has about the worst climate in the U.S. – blazing hot and moist in the summer and miserable in the winter. Oregon is paradise by comparison.

Representative Schrader reminds us that Alexander the Great failed to conquer the place as did Britain and Russia.

Debunking the War on Terror!

Four of the West's Boldest Dissidents Gather in London for Symposium

(LONDON) - The forthcoming "Debunking the War on Terror" symposium in London brings together four of the most outspoken and eloquent challengers to the Zio-American imperial order that has emerged post-September 11th.

While most of the left and antiwar movements have chosen to remain "loyal opposition," each of these four individuals has gone one step further, by challenging the very roots of the mainstream Western consensus and accepting the physical, professional or intellectual exile that ensues.

Surrogate Warfare, Killing Americans for Fun and Profit

The Myth of Democracy, Government by Organized Crime.

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - July 4th, Independence Day to Americans is coming up, our 234th.

This is one of a series of patriotic holidays that, though we don’t admit it, are slowly slipping away, Veterans Day also called Remembrance Day or Armistice Day and Memorial Day among them.

Who Cares About the Iranian People?

Actions like this will only injure the ordinary people of Iran who suffer from the effects of a power game between governments.

(TEHRAN) - Iraq's war on Iran during the 1980's was masterminded and fostered by the U.S. and its European allies.

With the horrors of anything but forgotten, new rounds of crippling sanctions directed against the most strategic industries of Iran come after one another in what is claimed to be the international movement of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Afghanistan, the Environment and Corporate Control of the Political Process

Now, more than ever, your participation in the political process, no matter how humble, needs to be felt.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - As you know, I've been leading the effort to try to stop our country from continuing its tragic mistake in Afghanistan.

We need to rally, America, to say it's time to end the war once and for all: To set a date and to stick by it to end the war and it can't be in 2011, 2012.
