Rising Gas Prices- What Media Will Not Tell You

A failed and foolish foreign policy towards Iran, along with looking the other way while allowing Wall Street speculators to gain control of such things as oil and gas, are the two primary reasons for suffering at the pump.

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - Another of the many failures of mainstream media is its unwillingness to explain to the American public the causes for rising gas prices.

There is no current shortage of gas and oil, world demand is down, current US demand is lowest since 1977, and supplies are relatively high, so what gives?

A Day in The Life of Strawberry Fields and IMAGINING a FREE Vanunu Mordechai

“Reality leaves a lot to the IMAGINATION.”-John Lennon

(CLERMONT, FLA) - Because I have been imagining a FREE Vanunu, a FREE Gaza-Palestine and a Nuclear FREE World since 2005 during my first of 7 trips to the so called Holy Land, I knew I had to do something to mark 21 April 2012.

It begins the first day of the 9th year-on top of 18 years in jail- that Israel’s Nuclear Whistle Blower has been waiting for his right to leave the state.

`Never Again` is an Empty Slogan

If Obama is sincere, if ‘never again’ isn’t just an ‘empty slogan’ as he says, he better goes out of his way to restrain Israel’s genocidal inclinations and its belligerent pro-war Lobbies around the world.

(LONDON) - The United States must resolve that ‘never again’ is not just an ‘empty slogan’, said U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday, in a statement marking Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Yet, I am left bewildered, what does president Obama refers to? Is ‘never again’ a universal message pointing at genocides in general or did he refer to Jewish suffering only?

Saudi Arabia: Dancing to Israel`s tune

Recent WikiLeaks reports suggest that Saudi officials have been working closely with Mossad to step up pressure against Iran.

(TEHRAN) - The fact that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has joined the vicious triangle of the United States, Israel and Britain to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran and put pressure on Tehran over its nuclear program is not a secret anymore.

The Saudi officials have openly stated their opposition to Iran's access to peaceful nuclear energy...

I do not think we need more human beings on this planet: Peter Singer

Kourosh engages author of 1975 book "Animal Liberation", "Rethinking Life and Death" and "Practical Ethics."

(TEHRAN) - Peter Singer, world-renowned Australian philosopher and bio-ethicist; is a Professor of Bioethics at Princeton and Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. Singer specializes in applied ethics and is known for his secular and preference utilitarian viewpoints.

What follows is the complete text of our conversation. Peter's answers are rather brief as compared to my elaborate questions; however, I think it has become a readable debate.

Britain`s Mad-House Foreign Policy

It seems to me the consequences of sanctions were entirely predictable.

(LONDON) - My local MP, Henry Bellingham, is a Foreign Office minister whose responsibilities include the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and conflict resolution.

I take this to mean he's tasked with keeping the British Government on the straight-and-narrow as regards international law, with ensuring dutiful conformity with the UN's Charter and numerous resolutions, with saving our warmongering hotheads from the calaboose in The Hague, and with treading the path of peace at all times.

Iran/Israel Locked in Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) Deterrence Status

…and it’s potentially beneficial for peace in the region.

(BEIRUT Al-Manar) - Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD), the doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of high-yield weapons by two opposing sides would effectively result in the potential annihilation of both sides.

Thus is becomes a war that has no victor but only reciprocal destruction; increasingly becoming relevant in Iran/Israel relations.

Iran Bashing, Terrorism and Who Chose the Chosen People, Anyway?

This video demonstrates that the United States is not a democracy, it is a bribeocracy, largely controlled by Zionists.

(BANGKOK) - This is dedicated to the long-suffering Palestinians and Iranians who have been sidelined by the UN in favour of the Nuclear Apartheid State of Zionist Israel in the most blatant exercise in International Double Standards that our world has ever known.

This video demonstrates that the United States is not a democracy, it is a bribeocracy, largely controlled by Zionists.

INDIA: Immediately Release Journalist Syed Mohammad Ahmad Kazmi

Salem-News.com Eye on the World report.

(HONG KONG) - The recent arrest and detention of Syed Mohammad Ahmad Kazmi, a well-respected journalist, by Indian police, is an outrage.

This reporter covered conflicts such as the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Iraq by US-led coalition forces, working for media outlets including IRNA, IRIB, Doordarshan and BBC. Now, because he advocated for Iran publicly, he is accused of masterminding a bomb blast in New Delhi.
