For years the American history books gave Christopher Columbus the credit of "discovering America" and proclaimed him to be a hero for daring to sail his frail craft across the Atlantic when European scholars believed the world was flat. They even named cities and highways and created a national holiday in his name. But now that the real story of what Columbus did, and how he treated the natives he found on the various Caribbean Islands, the truth has thrown a pall of shame over the very name.

Hezbollah came into existence because of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. It was primarily composed of 1,500 Iranian Revolutionary Guards, led by followers of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, who entered Lebanon with permission from the Syrian government to help drive the Israelis out of Lebanon. During the 12 long years of conflict that followed, Hezbollah evolved as both a military and political force, eventually becoming an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, programs for training fighters beyond Lebanon’s borders, and even operating its own radio and satellite television station.

When I attended college in the late 1950s the sociologists jokingly called it a "four-year-extension of infancy." That was because any high school graduate with a high enough grade average or the capability of passing a college entrance exam could get a crack at a bachelor’s degree or more. Tuition and the price of used text books at the campus store made the price of attending college within grasp. That was because we could earn enough money on available summer jobs to pay that part of the bill. I was able to earn enough while in college, working at one of the dormitory cafeterias, to pay my off-campus room rent of seven dollars a week. A weekly $10 check from my parents covered my food bill. Boy have things changed since those days. Story

This week I am going to plagiarize a piece recently circulating around on the Internet. The points made are so perfectly stated, and all of them slam the silly thinking of uncompromising Bible believers right in the face. Click Here

Even before there was the PLO in Palestine, there was a militant organization known as the Fatah. Like the PLO, its original purpose was as a political movement representing the Palestinians in conflicts with the Israelis when it came into existence in 1959. Fatah, which is an Arabic word signifying "conquer" or "victory," grew from early armed struggles remembered as the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt in Palestine and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Its motive was always the liberation of Palestine. Click For Report

The nation has been sliding toward a police state for a long time. I watched it happening during the years I spent reporting police news, covering major fires, murders, court trials and sometimes just riding around with the police on night patrol. There was a time when I had my own personal coffee cup hanging on a hook with the other cups at the Michigan State Police Post. I was given free access to the Sheriff’s Dispatcher’s radio room where I could read the nightly police and fire log. Nothing that the police did in the county escaped my attention. No reporter gets that kind of access to police records today. My Story

There appears to be primary motivations behind the modern terrorist movements. They involve revenge, ethnic cleansing, religious differences, differences in political ideologies and conflicts over land ownership. Some of these issues overlap as multiple complex driving forces behind some terrorist groups. All involve intense hatred driven into the minds of active terrorists, sometimes dating back for generations. The latter appears to be among the motivational causes of the rise in terrorist activity now imprisoning the Middle East. Story

If there is anything American’s could care less about at this early date it is the growing list of presidential candidates and what they are saying publically about one another. The first state primary elections are months away. The national primary is still more than a year away. The final presidential election is not going to be big news until November, 2016. The political dribble is so nauseating that it is small wonder that people are abandoning television programming and newspapers by the droves. Click For More

When we think of the Bush War On Terrorism we tend to think of the major terrorist organizations like ISIS, al Qaeda in the Middle East, Hizballah and Hamas in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and more recently Boko Haram in Nigeria, Africa. These are the groups that have been making headlines in the last year or two. But there are many more of them. Terror organizations seem to be springing up like mushrooms everywhere. We will be studying some of them. A planned series will be asking who they are and why they came into existence. Click For Story

As if the presidential race hasn’t already been slapping us in the face on our daily news feeds almost since the midterm elections concluded last November. Now the candidates for the 2016 presidential race are making their declarations. First came Ted, then Hillary and Marco. By the time this story hit publication the list will have grown even larger. With Barack Obama finishing his second and final term in office, the field is wide open. And candidates are coming out of the cracks like cockroaches. Thoughts

Looking back in American history, no one can say President Andrew Jackson was the sole instigator of the Indian Removal Act and its deadly effect on the five Native American tribes living in the Southeastern Territories, but his name was clearly inscribed on the branding iron. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the forced relocation of an estimated 125,000 Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee people from their homes in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida to "Indian Territory" west of the Mississippi, now known as the State of Oklahoma, is a dark and bloody blot in the nation’s history.

There was an April Fool story in the Internet publication Register that told of a complete meltdown of the cores of the three nuclear power plants at Fukushima and the shocking discovery by corporate technicians that the packages of fuel rods, burning at heat hotter than the sun, appears to have dropped to the core of the Earth. Worse than this, the story warned, some researchers expressed concern that the cores may still be burning their way through the planet and there is a danger that they will eventually blast their way out somewhere around the Falkland Islands, on the opposite side of the world.

A strange "whistleblower" story has appeared in a website titled Exopolitics Activism quoting from a newsletter that states the U.S. Marines have not only been to Mars, but they operate a secret space fleet that apparently roams around our solar system. The story says a Marine identified as Randy Cramer (aka Captain Kaye USMC) has spent 17 years on Mars and three years serving on the space fleet. Can we believe it or is it science fiction?

Our nation was promoted as a great republic, patterned after a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by men 200 years ago who wanted desperately to establish a way of governing people that guaranteed equality and fairness to everybody. But the United States quickly and secretly slid away from that framework to become another oligarchy; perhaps the most powerful and most deadly of its kind to ever exist. Click For Story

Abraham Lincoln quoted Jesus when he gave his famous "house divided" speech before the Republican State Convention in Springfield, Illinois, on June 16, 1858. Lincoln’s speech was controversial when he said it. Yet it was clearly prophetic because of the looming Civil War that was to literally tear the nation apart during his term in office. That war was fought over the issue of state’s rights and slavery. Today, a century and a half later, America is once again a house divided, and the rift may be even more severe than it was in 1858.

There are days when the joints in my body ache so bad I find myself reaching for the pain pills prescribed by my doctor rather than rely on ibuprofen or other over-the-counter pain relievers. As I gulp down the pills and wait for the relief they will bring, I am fully aware that the "medicine" in them is also attacking my liver, my kidneys, and other vital organs. I am also aware that there is a simple and inexpensive alternative to this pain problem, and that it is probably growing secretly in a basement, house or farm nearby. But to get my hands on it could subject me to assault by agents for the United States Government. Click For More 

When published in 1949, I doubt if anyone ever thought the world depicted in George Orwell's novel "1984" would ever come into reality. Orwell described a complete enslavement of humanity by a privileged political elite. The government system was depicted by a Big Brother character that preached a socialistic system of collective behavior (Ingsoc) from giant television screens mounted everywhere. People worked in little cubicles. Video cameras were mounted on all streets, public buildings and job sites. And the world was engaged in a perpetual war against a vague enemy. Sound familiar?

It was probably inevitable that our ever-shrinking world would drift into the global partnership long described by the prophets of old as a "one world government." This emerging global enterprise is not like anything we ever imagined, however. That’s because it is being designed by the people now in financial and political power who are primarily interested in creating a corporate plan to seize even more of the planet’s resources, latch onto the world’s wealth and further enslave the masses.

The United States once held the distinction of having the best colleges and universities in the world. People came from all over to study here. That was once. It is no longer the case. This is clearly one of the signs that the United States is falling behind in its standing in the world. It is a nation that has been taken over by bankers and big money interests who have skillfully devalued the dollar, created an inflation that has grown faster than workers can earn money to live, and in the process, destroyed the great universities that once turned out great thinkers, educators and creative people capable of lighting the world stage.

The Bilderberg Group, which has been in existence since 1954, is an organization comprised of up to 150 political, industrial, university, media and financial leaders representing nations in Europe and North America. Because its annual meetings are held behind closed doors, without media coverage, the Bilderberg Group has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Some believe it is, in effect, an organization of people who really control world events. Click For Story

There are some spooky historical events hovering over the office of the United States President that go beyond natural explanation. John F. Kennedy was the last American president to die in office, thus his murder appears to have ended an old Tecumseh curse. But the Kennedy assassination and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln have jolted historians with a long list of synchronicities that have been hard to explain. Click To Find Out More

The City of Santa Cruz, California, has for years been known for its street artists, writers and historic charm. It was common to hear music as young starving artists performed on city streets with their hats out for donations from passers-by. Off-beat writers like Robert Anton Wilson dined in some of the town’s quaint little restaurants. Everywhere you looked there was something interesting occurring. That was then. Now, thanks to major cuts in government assistance programs to states, Santa Cruz, like cities all over America, have lost their charm. People are staying at home behind locked doors rather than deal with what awaits them on the open streets. Click For More

Michael A. Cremos books, "Forbidden Archaeology" and "Forbidden Archaeology's Impact," published in 1993 and 1998, respectively, have had a quiet impact on the pre-programmed folks who dared to read them and consider their message. Cremo believes many museums and departments of archaeology at major Universities, have been hiding fossilized artifacts that tend to challenge the accepted views of history. The bones of giant humanoids have been found all over the Earth. Read More

The late Author-Professor José Argüelles believed clocks are a bane on humanity and that the archaic Georgian Calendar, created and mandated by the church, is an archaic way of controlling and operating our lives. He advocated replacing the Georgian Calendar with an even older, but more accurate 13-Moon – 28 Day calendar once used by the Mayans that he said is a "perfectly balanced solar/lunar measure" that he believed would have given the planet a new start toward a one-world government "and a shot at peace."

This is not a story about George Washington. This is about another man involved in framing the U. S. Constitution, bringing about the Bill of Rights, and influencing the way our nation operates today. His name was George Mason, someone few of us have ever heard of and rarely, if ever, mentioned in American history books. Mason played a key role in framing our government and if more convention members had listened to him, we might not be in the pickle we face today. Click For Story

It has been no secret that the popularity of the Internet preceded by television news via cable networks has taken its toll on the newspaper and news magazine industry. That the largest examples of print journalism . . . the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Gannett Corporation papers and others have fallen under corporate ownership has helped put the coffin nail on the world of real journalism in America. The move to cut off information to the public is not letting up. Click For Story

You can thank Henry Kissinger, the late President Richard M. Nixon and the economic advisors for the Nixon Administration for resetting America’s monetary standard and leading us into almost constant warfare in the Middle East. They also awarded us a growing financial crisis that may mean the downfall of the United States as we once knew it. Click For Story

The sinking of the White Star Line’s new liner Titanic and the loss of an estimated 1,500 lives after striking an iceberg on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912 has remained one of the world’s most memorable disasters. While there have been other ship disasters perhaps just as horrifying that claimed even more lives, the Titanic story is the one that remains etched most deeply in the historical record. And there are several strange synchronicities that we suspect account for this. Read More

The dangers of PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, were known as early as 1929, about 50 years after they were first used in manufacturing goods for public use. Unfortunately it took the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to ban the manufacture of this stuff in the United States, but that wasn’t until 1977. In the meantime, PCBs, used in the manufacture of inks, dyes, paints, adhesives, carbonless papers, lubricants, flame retardants, surface coatings and sealants, and industrial fluids, got spread everywhere and contaminated our world.

The great wall of division among humanity has always been wealth. And wealth can be interpreted as ownership. Those with wealth possess land, the society’s monetary supply, and consequently power. Imagine living in a society where ownership of "things" does not exist. It has been said that when Europeans first stepped on American soil, the natives were puzzled at the idea of "owning land." Some of the languages lacked words to even describe personal ownership of anything. Click For More

Most humans begin to suffer from the effects of aging by the time they reach their 50s, and things usually go downhill from there. These are the years when hardening of the arteries bring on high blood pressure, heart attacks, the various organs in the body stop functioning as well as they once did so we suffer from diabetes, failing eyesight, loss of memory, weight gain, our muscles turn to fat and the skin hangs in wrinkles. Theta Healer Suzie Donahue believes there may be a way to stop aging and possibly even reverse it. Click For More

If you have purchased something "new" for your home recently, it might be a good idea to have a geiger counter handy.

As if we are living on a giant chessboard, the pieces have been silently moved into place without many of us realizing that the queen is about to fall. The shadow rulers of the world appear about to make their final move. Once it happens, and it will probably occur unexpectedly, the world as we have known it will be changed forever. Dare To Read On

Slavery has been a way of life on Earth for as long as humans have recorded history. It has appeared in many forms . . . from the concept of one man owning another and forcing the slave to do his will, to serfdom under the rule of kings and assembly line workers laboring for whatever the employer chooses to pay. Existence under slavery has always meant a life of hard labor and drudgery. Workers are owned by the master in one way or another. Could there be an alternative? Click For More

In the third book of his Cosmic Trigger trilogy, the late author Robert Anton Wilson takes a unique look at the concept of human conditioned "tunnel reality" by bringing his readers into a dark room filled with people looking at a television screen.

I am fascinated by the so-called anomalies that keep turning up in the earth and rock of this ancient planet. Discoveries like a porcelain coated metallic object (spark plug?), a manufactured wire chain, a common nail, iron tools and concrete pillars and blocks, found deep in the earth or the bottom of the ocean . . . places where they should not be . . . give me an eerie feeling that the human race has been down this path more than once. It's as if we are being recycled and forced to live our existence over and over again until we get it right. More . . .

I am old enough to remember the days when we used to drink water right from the faucet and not think anything of it. I should qualify that. I disliked drinking tap water because the taste and odor of chlorine, dumped into the city water system at the filtration plant was terrible. Some days a gulp of that water was drinking Roman Cleanser straight from the bottle. But we drank the water because we trusted the government promise that it was safe. Click For More

It seems that we are reading and hearing more and more scare stories about the out-of-control national debt and the probability of the "too-big-to-fail" banks going into bankruptcy and bringing on another world depression. More and more people are out of work or living in poverty. Our infrasturcture is crumbling.

There are many stories involving the unexplained disappearance of people . . . including entire brigades of soldiers and the crew of ships at sea.
