The Holy Land Foundation was the largest Islamic charity in the nation. Its trial has serious repercussions for domestic issues, such as the right to face one's accusers in court and domestic wiretapping, as well as international concerns, like Palestine and the so-called "War on Terror." Cut through the propaganda and get informed.

Captain May Interview Schedule

The Portland nuclear exercises have begun today, Monday, October 15, and they will last all week. I will be giving regular updates via broadcast and Internet radio on the scenario and any updates. I have two scheduled interviews for today, and one on Thursday, October 18. I give all times in Pacific Standard Time, as the exercises are of most interest to people in that zone:

Britain has declared that spybase NSA Menwith Hill can be used as part of the American Missile Defense system. "Drum Them Out!" - was the recent demonstration to protest this and indeed the whole system of American bases in the UK and their total lack of accountability.

The dates can only be guessed. November for the triggering incident, December for the trip to the U.N., February for the ultimatum, perhaps March again for the strikes. The repetition would suit his taste for boyish acts of defiance.

Yesterdays Flashpoints discussed the spy bugs that are being deployed at anti-war protests across the US with Dick Becker, International ANSWER Coalition and Ian Thompson, attorney and co-coordinator of ANSWER:

An Equitable Sharing of Resources?

We are led to believe that Western societies are free and open. In many respects this is true: freedom of speech and the right to protest still exist, albeit within ever-tighter constraints. At root, however, much of what we see and hear in the corporate media has been shaped by money, power and greed. What passes for vibrant public debate is often a sham.

A short interview with Tony Benn to Indymedia prior to the protest.

A report, recently released, describes the state of the UK in 2017 - a surveillance society from our worst sci-fi nightmares. This is not the product of some conspiracy theory, but rather the more banal outgrowth of business-as-usual. More terrifying as a consequence.

All the pieces will be in place. The top officials in town. The Iranian problem presumably still unresolved. The usual alphabet soup of security agencies represented. The majority of the citizenry rendered fully docile by the reporting and editorial pablum of mass media narcotics purveyors like The Oregonian.

The fbi and the cia have many ways to threaten, intimidate, or otherwise communicate with the Target of their homicidal plots. One method is to send suggestions via the site meter of a website owned and managed by the Target himself. The following report shows how this is done and at the same time reveals the cowardly nature of the global hoodlums sometimes referred to as the fbi/cia.

If we get October out of the way without a major incident I, for one, will be extremely relieved.

As the United States is the sole superpower and empire in the world today, most commentators focus primarily just on relations between America and Iran to explain the current situation developing between the two countries, usually not going further back than just a few years, and as far back as the mainstream media will tell the story is to 1979, when Iran had a revolution, in which they threw out the Shah of Iran, who was backed by the Americans and British, and replaced that form of secular government with a religious one. However, as important as this event was between Iranian and American relations, it is important to go further back to truly understand the dynamic relations that the United Kingdom, and later, the United States (the Anglo-American alliance) have had with Iran.
