"Try
as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering. Perhaps as an old
man I will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their
prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them." -- Julian Assange, 2007

"Hear
me people: We now have to deal with another race---small and feeble

Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of

poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule." - Chief Sitting Bull

Noam Chomsky: Breaking the Israel-Palestine Deadlock
By Noam Chomsky
While
intensively engaged in illegal settlement expansion, the government of
Israel is also seeking to deal with two problems: a global campaign of
what it perceives as "delegitimation" - that is, objections to its
crimes and withdrawal of participation in them - and a parallel
campaign of legitimation of Palestine.

By Yvonne Ridley
America's

The Rise of the New Global Elite
By Chrystia Freeland
F.
Scott Fitzgerald was right when he declared the rich different from you

more hardworking and meritocratic, but less connected to the nations
that granted them opportunity-and the countrymen they are leaving ever
further behind.
