Our Slogan Will Continue to Be "Death to America" Until You Change U.S. Policies"// Here's an interesting line: "It would be naïive to think that there will be any change in American policy. Other people run the show."// ~I wonder who he's referring to?~ "These religious extremists are effectively in control of the American government." http://tinyurl.com/6pkxf9 Peace will only come when the leaders of Iran "think beyond religious, ethnic and national categories."

"The draft declaration recommends that local, national and international laws and human rights covenants be reviewed and amended as necessary so that "defamation of Islam" is made a criminal offence, losing the protection it has long enjoyed under the "pretext" of "freedom of expression, counter terrorism or national security". It recommends that
legal instruments be established to punish offenders -- that is, those who "defame" Islam by associating it with violence, human rights abuses or terrorism.
Anne Bayefsky, a York University professor and human rights lawyer who attended the Second Preparatory Session in Geneva, warns: "This is the new dimension of Durban 2, which in many ways makes it a greater threat than Durban 1. It's really setting up a war of ideas, that has rough
implications, between Islamic states and everybody else. . . ... Durban 2 is an an assault on freedom of expression and other essential democratic rights and freedoms." - Al Pasternak

"If people feel that they lost control they become desperate to make sense of the situation. They perceive patterns that don't exist and rather grab for any fast and simple explanation - however absurd - than considering that there could be none. This is the result of a study, published in the latest issue of the magazine Science, that sheds new light on the psychology of superstition, urban legends and conspiracy theories." - Al Pasternak

Perhaps this explains why so many Americans subscribe to the false conspiracy theory that Iraq was behind 9/11 or that Barack Obama is a Muslim. - Sean McBride
And yet no one has made the connection between Obama and 9/11 yet. - Chris White
Chris -- 1. the FBI doesn't consider Obama to be a suspect for 9/11. 2. Obama denied any involvement in 9/11 in his first public statement on the subject. 3. the Obama confession video is considered by video experts to be a fake. 4. the Bush administration exhibited little real interest in capturing Obama just after 9/11. All these facts are out there, but the American public as a whole is paying absolutely no attention. - Sean McBride
Almost overnight, the talking heads went from perpetuating the euphoria of investors to rushing to pronounce the economy dead. Last year, when lenders started dropping like flies as foreclosures rose and margins were called, the problems of Wall Street became more and more apparent, and lending guidelines were tightened to the point that many individuals were stuck in their time-bomb loans, and thus began a vicious cycle. But what led to this? Here is a visual guide to help you understand the events leading up to the bailout. - Al Pasternak
