Too bad the destruction of Islamic land marks in Timbuktu by the criminal thugs called “Ansar El-Islam/Supporters of Islam” did not generate or illicit the strong condemnations denunciations and material actions it deserves from the religious leaders of Al-Azhar, Mecca, Qom and Najaf. At best the condemnation was muted if not apologetic.

- How many will just look the other way when their turn comes to be true to the code...as so many before them.

Raised on war propaganda, political claptrap and only mildly suspicious that America had been overthrown in the Coup de Etat on November 22, 1963, I was going to do my part.

First, the Pentagon infiltrated the US mainstream media on the sly by a constellation of retired military stars to massage the major message on Operation Indefinite Liberty, OIL aka GWAT, globally. Later, Fort Fumble reversed its spinmeister tactics and, in overt civ/mil joint venture, it imbedded tightly vetted quill-drivers into US Marines & Army units in Afghanistan to promote Obama’s double-down surge locally.

America died when we got Fox News. Is this a coincidence, the national addiction to paranoia, conspiracy theory and hate?

"The clear issue we have on NATO is that from day number one this was an illegal war; those who started this war in the US, Britain and elsewhere did so as a war crime.

In an organized act of brutality, a number of US soldiers went on a house-to-house shooting spree in Zangabad village, Kandahar in March and massacred 16 people including nine children while they were sleeping and all Washington had to say were a few words of condolence and apology nonchalantly strung together in order to appease the overwhelming public rage in Afghanistan.

It is truly a matter of controversy as it appears that non-Taliban Afghan poets are presented as Taliban.

In light of the current and well-founded anxiety that the Obama administration will conduct a false flag operation during the May 20-21 Chicago NATO summit, this article, although written in 2008, is crucial reading now.

False Flags are a standard stratagem, particularly in democracies, in which it's necessary to create consensus before waging war.

"We’re pretending that al-Qaeda is there (Yemen). In reality, we’re interfering in internal politics and we are assassinating political enemies of our friends in Yemen to maintain power.

A country robbed of peace and bereft of aspirations, Afghanistan seems to be plunging more and more into a pitiful morass of grievances brought about by the military madness the US troops exhibit in the beleaguered land with brazen-faced contumely.

Last weekend, in Kabul, Afghan Peace Volunteer friends huddled in the back room of their simple home.

Among the seven agreements made by Gen Musharraf with Washington in September 2001, free passage of NATO containers from Karachi Port to Afghanistan via Torkham and Chaman and also air supplies were included.

My suspicion that Flight 191 was dedicated to destruction isn't at all fanciful. Indeed, it can easily be inferred from international and internet articles that are either unreported or under-reported by the American media.

- The world knows that the Taliban have no intention of relinquishing its Islamo-fascist mentality.

Questions we should ask about an eleven year war.

It’s part of our right as American citizens to defend our homes. We should extend that right to everyone else.

911 made wars against Afghanistan and Iraq possible. Might the downing of Flight 191 have been intended as the necessary provocation for a war against Iran? In light of modern American history, it's insane to not consider that possibility.

These last three incidents and in particular, the killing of 18, which has been a more of a shock in the United States than anyone is aware, is that Americans are so ashamed.

On March 25 the FBI issued a Gulf Coast terror alert, conspicuous in its parallels to Captain May's false flag scenario, warning that the Texas oil industry might be a terror target. On March 30 the British Petroleum refinery in Texas City, Texas exploded. Texas City is a petro suburb of Houston, and the event confirmed May’s target and time to within 24 miles and 24 hours.

It was my job, much because of my checkered past, to learn who was who, separate the wheat from the chaff.

How shall the world view the apology by President Obama for the massacre of 16 Afghan villagers allegedly by a lone U.S. serviceman in Kandahar Province when the President is himself personally responsible for the extra-judicial killing of hundreds of civilians by means of drone aircraft strikes whose crime he defends?

Anyone has my express written permission to not only not read this but to withdraw from all media involvement. Problem is, we have an election coming up and either we go to the streets and bring the nation to its knees or acquiess and vote for Obama or the other candidate, seemingly hand selected to force us all to vote for Obama. Please tell me you haven't figured that one out already? The fix? Starting the week with a recap of the horror story in Afghanistan, now that all 50 versions have hit the news and America has found herself behind a humiliatingly unbelievable lie to sell.

Let me introduce you to Dr. Gary Levin. Dr. Levin was in the US Navy from 1969 to 1971 serving as a general medical officer. He was in an amphibious group, and served on the USS Jeneau, LPD 10.

- Camp Bastion, Afghanistan (VT) Moments ago, a truck bomb exploded on a British airstrip in Helmand province in Afghanistan, believed to be an unsuccessful attempt to kill US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

The U.S. army is telling "lies" about a recent shooting in Afghanistan which left 17 civilians -- mostly children and women -- dead, says Gordon Duff, senior editor of VT.

Gordon Duff, Senior Editor at VT slams the U.S. military for doing “very little about” the rising suicide rate among troops, blaming multiple deployments and faulty medications as to why soldiers resort to taking their own lives.

- How do we restore the respect for life we seem to have bled out of so many of our young?

For more than a thousand years the Afghan nation, and Pashtun tribes in particular, have resisted all foreign efforts of domination.

I would almost like to ask for a really good psychiatrist, one only slightly crazier than me, to convince me to sit out this election entirely. It has been so many and they make me sick inside. It isn't just the differences in political parties, loose though they seem

What did the last decade accomplish in the occupation of Afghanistan? Other than streamlining the opium shipment trade, what did this foreign expedition achieve?

The lesson of the American catastrophe that Boot and Brooks helped to deepen and prolong...

In my earlier writings about the Google+ platform I suggested to my readers that this Google product was perhaps the most significant leap in social media technology since the invention of the telephone.

I was lucky enough to catch up with Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense, at the Edward Teach Memorial Golf Course and Scuba Diving Facility outside of Kingston, Jamaica.

It isn't just veterans or the military that are reeling from the craziness, the injustice and utter absurdity we are told to accept as "the world around us."

"I have seen way too many OD’s from alcohol, but I have never seen an OD from cannabis. My opinion is that cannabis is a hell of a lot better than alcohol, Valium, or any synthetics because it is natural.”-John Fleming, MD.

I was invited to attend a symposium at the US Naval War College in Newport, RI last summer to learn something about how our Navy deals with terrorist threats to our fleets worldwide.

I watched an old X-Files episode, a younger Jesse Ventura, Charles Nelson Reilly, how appropriate it all was then and now.

These days, when I watch state-run Afghan TV, which is funded by American money, I am surprised by how openly Afghan experts criticize US military tactics in Afghanistan. This is new.

­Washington's policy of “managed chaos” has backfired in Afghanistan and Pakistan. VT Editor, Colonel Eugene Khrushchev says the US excelled at chaos building but has yet to succeed at managing it.

- One of the things we learned is that American Christian Evangelists, give billions to Israel.The amount is staggering, conservatively over $30 billion a year.
