Press TV - The Debate (Topic Syria) Ken O`Keefe vs. Lee Kaplan

Enjoy these dinosaurs while they are still around because their days of utility in a world waking up are clearly numbered.

(LONDON) - Lee Kaplan provides a classic example of the propagandists methods, divert, make personal attacks, revert to tired historical myths like America liberated Europe in World War II so as to imply the massive crimes during WWII and since do not matter.

I hope to be in a debate with Lee many more times as he provides one gift after another in terms of providing material that exposes the shallow, baseless foundation of lies that our global system of tyranny is built upon.

Sri Lankan Army Chief Unwittingly Admits Committing War Crimes

Army Commander also issues a public warning from the former war zone, that his troops would have no hesitation but to repeat such crimes if separatism rises again in the country.

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka ) - Inadvertently confirming that his troops have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in the name of wiping out the Tamil Tiger rebels, Sri Lanka’s newly appointed Army Commander Lieutenant General Daya Ratnayake has said earlier this week that the entire “world has been exhibited the way in which we defeated” the 30-year long separatist armed struggle in the island nation in May 2009.

Army Commander Ratnayake’s controversial speech has come just weeks after the electoral victory of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in the north...

The Fading Valley Film Comes to NY in November as Part of The Other Israel Film Festival

If you know people who might attend, please give this posting wings and bring it to their attention. This is a very special attempt to break the silence around the goings on in the Jordan Valley.

(TEL AVIV) - The Fading Valley is a poetic film about the Jordan Valley, the Palestinians who live there and the challenges they face as they struggle to survive under the restrictions of the Occupation. I highly recommend this beautiful and thought provoking documentary.

It is aptly chosen to present a view of "The Other Israel". The film was produced by MachsomWatch, please note the screening specified by Other Israel Film Festival in NY in mid-November.

`Traitors` Convention` - Really?!!!

The NY Post is a paid Propaganda shill!

(PORTLAND, OR) - Every person shown in that photo beneath the headline, "Traitors' convention", is an American Hero! They are along with many others in our ranks, Whistleblower Patriots and we walk far above the likes of any scribe setting type for this type of canned propaganda articles published in the NY Post.

Back in the day, if that scribbler were a man, they might have discovered someone’s fat lip policy. I’d suspect that your employee has likely never served their nation or the rank and file. Neither is it likely they have ever risked everything for the buttressing genuine principles of our constitutional democracy.

Did Jayewardene Deceive Rajiv Gandhi? - M.A. Sumanthiran

Rajiv Gandhi or his advisers, unlike Indira Gandhi, were the least concerned about the welfare of the Eelam Tamils. If he was, he would not have signed the Indo - Sri Lankan Accord with so many clauses that are disadvantageous to the Tamils.

(MELBOURNE) - On the advice of dubious Indian advisers and the Indian Intelligence, RAW, Rajiv Gandhi embarked on a policy of dismantling the militant movements and disarming them.

This was a 180 degrees policy change from Indira Gandhi, who advocated the freeing of Tamils from the clutches of the Sinhalese by their own effort. The advisers gave Rajiv at least 3 reasons for it.

9/11 Truth Film Festival in Oakland, CA on Wed. Sept. 11, 2013, 1PM to 11PM

The scheduled times for the movies selected are now listed here in the third link below for the 2013 9/11 Truth Film Festival "Fifty Years of Betrayal - From JFK To Today".

(OAKLAND) - I have a short 5 and a half music video at 9:20 pm titled as the same title as the book, "An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King", about the trial that was won by attorney William Pepper in Memphis in 1999 on behalf of the King family.

The jury of 6 black and white members unanimously found Loyd Jowers and "un-named government co-conspirators" guilty of the murder of Martin Luther King.

Diaspora Glorifying the Murderous LTTE- Navi Pillai

This fundamental circumstance have led to stereotyping the Tamil Diaspora as a glorifying group of a ‘ruthless organisation’.

(LONDON Sri Lanka Guardian) - The issue of Tamil Diaspora ‘glorying’ the ‘murderous’ LTTE has come to the focus with the outspoken charge of the UN Human Rights High Commissioner Navi Pillai who is widely respected for her integrity and impartial concern for the public good.

Such statement coming from a person of stature is welcome and must be taken as a helpful comment to correct the failures that is undermining the credibility of the whole Tamil Diaspora.

Investigative Void: Sex Assault in the News

This writer is fascinated by TV shows like "Criminal Minds" and likes to connect those dots in a meaningful way. By propagating the notion that loose libidos are the norm, we do ourselves a very terrible disservice.

(SALEM) - Over the last 50 years, this one-time reporter has carefully followed current events. Reading the daily paper has been a staple. In recent years, the media has taken to focus on sexual assaults of both adults and children.

Maybe the media think that giving the bare-bones information and passing it along as an eveyday event is adequate for public consumption. I hasten to ardently disagree.

Mass Media Madness

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind --Jim Morrison

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - Television anchors and their guests waste hours of viewer’s time ridiculously focused. Topics with limited importance, should not be broadly covered at the expense of the most important issues.

Guesswork predictions of potential 2014 and 2016 political candidates waste time. The presidential elections are three years away and pundits are already taking polls and showing how much they know about potential candidates.

What Happened to the LTTE Prisoners of War?

To kill these young people, most of them in their teens, one must have an extremely cruel heart.

(MELBOURNE) - There was a time when the Tamils believed that these prisoners of war were alive. When Callum Macrae of Channel 4 produced tubes that showed the treatment meted out to these prisoners, the thought that they were alive dimmed.

These people may have ceased to exist long ago.
