"I was a firefighter for twenty-two years and lost my house over $2,000.00"-Booker T. Perry of Orlando, Fl.

President Obama “intends to hammer the theme of economic justice for ordinary Americans rather than continue his legislative battles with Congressional Republicans. In terms of the president’s relationship with Congress in 2012, the president is no longer tied to Washington, D.C.”

The other night I had late dinner with a friend visiting from out of town. I went home and crashed after a long day. What a night it was—I had America’s nightmare!

We fix dogs and cats. Now it the time to castrate legislators

Who is responsible for the success of the American Dream?

The government's thirst for power is unending

If our sane military leaders make it clear that they will "just say no" if ordered to commit more war crimes - especially if the war crimes in question are part of a treasonous and suicidal attack on Iran for Israel.

Israeli paper Israel-Ayom reports today about a new ‘Congressional bill’ that would require the “American administration to support Israel in a move deemed necessary to defend itself against the Iranian nuclear threat.”

President Shimon Peres said that the international community should engage in a “moral” attack on Iran. There are five different House committees considering H.R. 1905, which seeks to impose sanctions on Iran in an attempt to disrupt Tehran's nuclear program. Representative Brad Sherman (D-CA), said, “Critics [of the sanctions] argued that these measures will hurt the Iranian people. Quite frankly, we need to do just that.”

What follows is the background story of the questions I emailed and hand delivered to Buddy Roemer which have now become an Open Inquiry to All Presidential Candidates.

The attack on the USS Liberty remains "the only incident of damage to a major US ship since the sinking of the USS MAINE in Havana Harbour in 1898, prior to the Spanish-American War, that has not been investigated by the US Congress."

Yesterday members of the Scottish Parliament spoke up for Israel's Nuclear Whistle Blower, Mordechai Vanunu's right to full freedom and is support for a Nuclear FREE Middle East because you "can not devolve the right to speak out against injustice"...

Inspired by the people powered uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, the Occupy Wall Street movement exposed how the richest 1% of people write the rules and control the global economy and in a months time, their message has spread to over 100 cities in the United States with actions in over 1,500 cities globally.

S-1629 is not a bill to help veterans of Vietnam be compensated for Agent Orange exposure. It's a bill for all Americans

We are angry at a political system that is so corrupted by money, greed, bad faith, contempt for the people and citizens with special breed of political and media consultants who sell us scruples idiots and demagogues as choices.

Today at the United Nations President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas formally requested full United Nations membership and stated, "I don’t believe anyone with a shred of conscience can reject our application for full admission in the United Nations." Citizens of conscience can help force President Obama to earn his Nobel Peace Prize...

CTJP=Compassion, Truth, Justice, Peace. President Obama's speech today at the UN drew immediate praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his efforts to dissuade Palestinian leaders from pushing for a United Nations vote on statehood, calling Obama’s actions a “badge of honor”.

The first two reports come out of Iran and I play clean up from Florida.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been to Israel more than any other presidential candidate and he believes he’s on a mission from God. In his 11 years in office he also wrested much power away from that states Legislature. This citizen of conscience for US House of Representatives has been to Israel seven times since 2005, but I spent my time in occupied Palestine, on my mission from God: seek truth and report it!

Wannabe jihadists were supported by the SITE Intelligence Group, run by Rita Katz an Israeli analyst and former soldier of the IDF. SITE offers "breaking news, articles and analysis of the jihadist threat" and is famous of providing Al-Qaeda videos of dubious provenance.

In the mid 90s, my radio outreach was tiny in the scheme of things, and Liberty Lobby’s newspaper, The Spotlight, for whom I toiled, was reviled on Capitol Hill, but I had the time, energy and drive back then to charge into the halls of power, and Lobby for citizens at large and the Constitution, over a period of about six weeks.

My source in Syria informs me that the Philippine government has now called for all their nationals to leave the country and the British government is gearing up to evacuate all Brits from the costal areas of Syria to Turkey at a days notice. He added, “With September right around the corner I have no doubt that something very bad is brewing and will probably be here before the U.N. vote for Palestinian statehood.”

Lobby uses our taxes. The US State Department has awarded a grant to a private interest group, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), to conduct research on anti-Semitism around the world.

Some question the lack of leftist anti-war activism seeking to end America's perpetual wars. They are right to ask why those activists are MIA now that Obama is leading the war charge. It's simple, really. They are mostly partisan hypocrites.

History is clear. There is no example in the history of mankind where justice has simply been bestowed upon a people.

Vacation in America…It is a time to be with family for rest and reflection. Late last week my wife, son, and I headed off from our home in North Carolina, to spend a few days at the beach in Destin, Florida, a place I use to live back when I wore a younger man’s shoes.

Mishugener is a Yiddish word meaning insane or crazy. A Schmuck is Yiddish for a self-made fool- but it also refers to male only anatomy.......

While hard working American tax payers face economic hardships, 81 members of Congress neglected listening to their constituents during this summers recess to take a lobbyist-funded trip designed to pressure them into sending even more tax-payer-funded weapons to the Israeli military which will be used to commit human rights abuses against Palestinians.

The budget deficit debate by the “Gang of Twelve” should be comical at best

Common sense and solving the deficit problem...will it work?

[New York City]--Last week, I went back to my homeland-New York City. I wanted to get a message through to the Supreme Allied Commander of the Colbert Super PAC Nation...On 14 July, the Israeli High Court justices ruled that Vanunu’s petition to have his citizenship revoked under the recently passed Citizenship Revocation Law must be answered within 30 days. That deadline expired yesterday...

It’s clear our system is faulty and is causing us great harm. Its’ rigged and no longer serves the people. Simple stuff like “public finance of elections” and NO donations acceptable. Better, no more lobbyists.

This August 6th and 9th mark the 66th anniversaries of the most brutal acts of terrorism upon innocent people; America's atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Many of my fellow Obama supporters contend that the president can only do so much, which is absolutely true. But what he can do is use the bully pulpit of the presidency to educate the people, which he’s failing miserably at. The entire GOP agenda is based on flat-out lies, the blatant corruption of facts, and a deviation from reality that’s so severe that even a child could see it if someone would just take the time to explain it. So why isn’t Obama doing that?

As I am deadly serious about reaching Stephen and also Jon Stewart- for another of my dreams is that Jon would read and discuss my third book, "BEYOND NUCLEAR: Mordechai Vanunu's FREEDOM of SPEECH Trial and My Life as a Muckraker: 2005-2010" I have been speaking up on Youtube and I also TWEETED this message to Colbert's SuperPAC Nation...
