Vatican Hedges Bets, Says Aliens Are Our Brothers

He compares the potential multiplicity of life forms in the universe to that here on Earth, and goes on to speculate that such alien life forms could even be free from Original Sin ? [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.?

Viscount Long: My Lords, if the Noble Earl is suspicious that the Ministry of Defence is covering up in any way, I can assure him … the sole interest of the MoD in UFO reports is to establish whether they reveal anything of defence…

Americas Decline Is Largely Self-Inflicted

In a month of horrific natural disasters it’s instructive to consider what one of the biggest UNnatural disasters in memory looks like. That is the decline in America’s position in the world from where we were when George W. Bush inherited power on Jan. 20, 2001.

The issue goes way beyond Bush's decision to invade Iraq in the middle of the war in Afghanistan. U.S. government literally broke down during the Bush years. The interagency process was destroyed as Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld set up what…

Military Officers Say Official Account of 9/11 Impossible

Twenty-five former U.S. military officers have severely criticized the official account of 9/11 and called for a new investigation. They are among the rapidly growing number of military and intelligence service veterans, scientists, engineers, and architects challenging the governments story.

of your derisive complaints has been well answered elsewhere. See, for example, 911truth.org, Jim Hoffman's excellent site 911research.com, architects and engineers for 911truth (ae911truth dot org) or the journal of 911 studies…

Steelworkers Endorse Obama

The United Steelworkers today issued a statement of endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President.

John Edwards didn't help craft the attack message for Mcbush, like Clinton did. He didn't try to divide us by class, education or race. He remained true to his ideals. He admitted, up front, speaking plainly, he was suckered and stupid,…

How Bush’s grandfather helped Hitler’s rise to power

As a 30 year-old Republican (converted from a democrat), and a G.W. Supporter, in both elections, my decision to vote for this maniacal, narcissist has killed and brutalized hundreds of thousands. His ‘love-able’ linguistic deficiencies, found him creating words. It is now clear that ‘making things up’ is family business. Rot in hell, George.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism. His business dealings, which continued until his…

Exclusive Video: Old John McCain Open To Talks With Hamas

Two years ago, in an interview with James Rubin for Sky News, Sen. John McCain expressed a willingness to negotiate with the terrorist group Hamas — the very group that McCain has been relentlessly using to smear Sen. Barack Obama over the last several weeks.

Common on- I could be persuaded not to vote for McCain if the Obamas show some humility, respect and decency toward the Clintons and their supporters. But to question McCain's patriotism is a stretch even to me. McCain is a decent human…

Bush Compares Obama To Nazi Appeasers

President Bush has said repeatedly that he would not insert himself into the presidential race, but that stance changed dramatically today, when he compared Barack Obama to Nazi appeasers during his trip to Israel.

Violence and destruction is the only solution this “man” has to offer. Every problem to him should be solved by either bombing someone of killing people. We are already fighting a war on two fronts because of him. We have lost 4000…

The Dumbing of America: "Call me a snob, but really, we’re a nation of dunces."

The author claims that activities such as web surfing and video games, along with a shift from a 'print culture' to a 'video culture', has led to a culture of anti-rationalism and anti-intellectualism, where people cannot concentrate for long periods of time and lack knowledge of basic geography, science and history.

This is the last subject that any candidate would dare raise on the long and winding road to the White House. It is almost impossible to talk about the manner in which public ignorance contributes to grave national problems without being labeled…
