As soon as President Obama announced the successful mission that led to the assassination of Bin Laden….Americans rejoiced and right wing neo-cons went on the airwaves immediately claiming that America’s “enhanced interrogation programs” from 8 years prior led to that sweet information that helped track down and kill America’s #1 Most Wanted fugitive.  Except – [...]

I have been very critical of Israel’s position regarding Palestine and the Palestinian people; their is clearly no interest in finding real peace or respecting the notion of a 2 state solution with the current Netanyahu government.  My disdain for Israel’s policies relative to the Palestinians can not be reiterated enough. Having said that – [...]

Israel’s continued support of violent Jewish settlers bullying Palestinians off of their lands is in direct violation of international law.  It’s not surprising that Israel continues to violate international law as they have for decades as we have written about HERE.  This is a modern day David vs. Goliath except this time the big bullying [...]

Our imperative is to promote growth and jobs. ~Statement from G8 Leaders  The tide is turning.  Frustration has been building in Europe over deep austerity cuts meant to address deficit issues but only further hampering growth and ultimately hurting the deficit long term.  The true solution will not be solved until countries get back to [...]

“It seems like a well-planned attack.

We’ve written many times about the Apartheid state that is Israel HERE; I wish it wasn’t so…but it is.  America is alone in the world in it’s support of Israel and her policies…her illegal occupation and intentional gentrification of the Palestinian people.  Israel is regarded in the same likes as North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan; [...]

Previously written at www.bloggerswithoutborders.com Well, for one thing, trading your money from one currency to the next is a much less strenuous exercise when one gets their money at a bank.
