Max Eternity - While America feigns affection for Iran's so-called democratic revolution, which is really starting to look more and more like a Western-fueled coup attempt, nevermind the very real ills of the world, like the coup in Honduras or this recent Independent UK report: For 40 years, the French government has been fighting a secret war in Africa, hidden not only from its people, but from the world. It has led the French to slaughter democrats, install dictator after dictator – and to fund and fuel the most vicious genocide since the Nazis.

Washington Post - Henry Louis Gates Jr., one of the nation's most prominent scholars of African-American history, cast his recent arrest in his home in Cambridge, Mass., as part of a "racial narrative" playing out in a biased criminal justice system. Shortly before the charge against him was dropped this afternoon, the Harvard professor who has spent much of his life studying race in America said he has come to feel like a case study.

Ralph Lopez @ Daily Kos - President Jimmy Carter wrote that the Red Cross, Amnesty International and the Pentagon "have gathered substantial testimony of torture of children, confirmed by soldiers who witnessed or participated in the abuse." In "Our Endangered Values" Carter said that the Red Cross found after visiting six U.S.

Max Etenrity - As the world mourns the loss of Walter Conkrite, perhaps America's greatest journalist, many are reflecting on the life and legacy of a man who truly set the standard of reporting excellence.  Mr Cronkite, who was fondly dubbed "Uncle Walter" by viewers and listeners, was so relied upon to tell the unvarnished truth about the US Government and international affairs that he was sometimes casually referred to as "the most trusted man in America."   But he was not particularly popular with everyone, especially politicians, including P

Cleveland.com posted a wonderful story about the 79 year old, depression era highrise.  Cleveland should be proud.  Atlanta, my home town, has lots of beautiful towers, but none are as old and stately as this.  All of our skyscrapers are new.

Bill Moyers Journal - Bill Moyers speaks with Cornel West, Serene Jones, and Gary Dorrien for a fresh take on what our core ethics and values as a society say about America's politics, policy, and the challenges of balancing capitalism and democracy.  Click here to watch video.

Max Eternity - Has America prematurely come to the conclusion that because we now have a biracial President, anti-Black bias has been overcome--banished from this nation?  Some may like to think so, and to a limited extent, at least symbolically, that might be true. However there are many indicators that say otherwise, suggesting that a more sanitized version of apartheid has now replaced our defunct Jim Crow laws.

Max Eternity - In 2004 I went to cast my vote and was told that I was dead.  The government used this story to try and steal my vote.  This is a true story.

Quotes from Chris Hedges most recent Truthdig article:

"The fundamental problem in the Middle East is not a degenerate and corrupt Islam. The fundamental problem is a degenerate and corrupt Christendom"

"We have not brought freedom and democracy and enlightenment to the Muslim world. We have brought the opposite."

"Iranians do not need or want us to teach them about liberty and representative government. They have long embodied this struggle. It is we who need to be taught"

Max Eternity - Two years ago Brian Ross of ABC broke a story about the U.S. Government's C.I.A. plan to destabilize the soveriegn nation of Iran.  It was a plan designed to take a propagandist approach to flooding the media with mis-information, while also attacking the country's currency.

Max Eternity - The catalyzing event of the 911 terrorist attacks set into motion a domestic and global transformation, which radically altered how the American government, led by its executive (White House) branch, would conduct itself at home and abroad.  In short, under the guise of national security, it gave the Bush-Cheney White House a license to plunder, maim and kill with neither remorse nor impunity.
