You’re about to see a viscous game, not that we hadn’t already. I’m not talking about the NFL, nor am I talking about the stock market. I’m talking about human existence; the United States is playing hardball. The Israeli-Palestinian peace process has hit a wall. It’s been in a stalemate for some time. It won’t…

This should end the war in Libya, a war reported as “civil” because it was between the rebels opposing and the infamous, longtime leader of Libya, the now-deceased Moammar Gadhafi. Gadhafi was brutally killed last week by those pursuing him on behalf of the U.S.-sanctioned National Transitional Council (NTC), the new interim government of Libya.…

Over the past few weeks, former Godfather CEO Herman Cain has surged into a frontrunner position for the Republican nomination for president. This surge is nothing new for the political world. Several have appeared to be what the GOP is looking for, then after peeling back cover, the truth comes out. Herman Cain’s “9-9-9” tax…

There is nothing right in their attempts to equate the current groundswell of the Occupy Wall Street movement with the Tea Party movement of the past three years.

I grew to question the contemporary mainstream American Christian teaching of the history of the region currently know as Israel. I was displeased with the imagery that showed white people as the inheritors of that land. I…

This is all about the illusion. An illusion is a distortion of the senses, revealing how the brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. While illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people. An example is: “America is a democratic nation that upholds the principles of democracy, freedom and sovereignty,” or “The United…

Are the resolutions in place? Has NATO been handed the green light? Are the assassination teams on the ground yet to get President Bashar Assad? If not, then why not? It is said that at least 52 people – including four children – were killed Sunday in Hama, Syria. This conduct looks vaguely familiar. Is…

The dire warnings coming from Treasury Secretary Geithner about the looming August 2nd default-mageddon remind me of a ship’s mate in the crow’s nest forecasting the forthcoming doom. The thing is, we saw this iceberg about to hit this Titanic six months ago, and now it’s major? It appears America’s about to catch a cold,…
