The Spiritual-Political Importance of Iran

Most Americans who oppose the neocon-Zionist push for war on Iran don’t like the Iranian form of government…mainly because they don’t understand it. The Islamic Republic of Iran is called a democracy by some, a theocracy by others. In fact, it is both. It is democratic in two senses. First, it has competitive and relatively honest elections for all relevant national, regional and local offices.

Ellen Brown: “Don’t Settle! Robo-signed mortgages = FRAUD”

Tuesday, February 7th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (archived here a few hours after broadcast). Guest, Ellen Brown, author, Web of Debt, whose new article “Why the AGs Must Not Settle: Robo-signing Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg” calls on states’ Attorneys General not to sign the proposed settlement agreement with banks that committed mortgage fraud. Why not? Because “the evidence to date suggests that ‘robo-signing’ was not a mere technical default or sloppy business practice but was part and parcel of a much larger fraud, the fraud that brought down the whole economy in…

Professor Davidson cuts through…

Will this get me sent to Guantanamo?

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the Washington DC beltway. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?” “Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.” “How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks. “About a gallon!”  * * * Normally I wouldn’t expect to get sent to Guantanamo for telling anti-Congress jokes.…

Chutzpah, thy name is Silverstein! Larry wants more billions for blowing up the WTC

If you thought Andrew “assassinate Obama for Israel” Adler was the last word in chutzpah…think again. Larry “blow up the World Trade Center for Israel” Silverstein is light-years beyond Adler. Larry Silverstein, you may recall, is a reputed mobster who allegedly got his start in the sex services business and then oozed into real estate. Two months before 9/11, Silverstein finalized his 100-year-lease on the white elephant, condemned-for-asbestos World Trade Center complex – and proceeded to double the insurance and hardball his insurers into changing the policy to “cash payout.” On 9/11/01, Silverstein skipped his usual breakfast at the top…

Meet election integrity expert John Washburn!

Tuesday, January 31st, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (archived here a few hours after broadcast). Guest: John Washburn, Wisconsin-based software engineer and election integrity activist. (Check out his blog and website.) Is it just a coincidence that Wisconsin is about to “upgrade” to “new, improved” voting machines just in time for the nationally-important Scott Walker recall election? Why are those machines – and just about all voting machines – “black box” systems with proprietary software, so that only the people who program the machines know how they work (and how to hack them)? The 1% needs…

Shameless chutzpah: Could it work for Muslims too?

As an American Muslim, I am a great admirer of the Jewish people, especially American Jews. I think we Muslims can learn a lot from the way Jews have made their presence felt in American society.For example, I marvel at the chutzpah of the Beth Shalom Temple in Corona, California, which recently tried to shake down Mel Gibson: “Our proposal to you, Mr. Gibson, is since you have been cited as an Anti-Semitic, and have denied those allegations, what better way to prove to all your fans and the nay Sayers — than to endorse and help raise funds for…
