There once was a time in America when a person was presumed innocent until they were proven guilty. That basic presumption of law derived from the Latin legal principle that ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat – the burden of the proof lies upon him who affirms, not he who denies, was denied to eight US Marines in what became known as “Haditha,” the highest-profile atrocity prosecution of US servicemen out of the Iraq war.

Would an investigation begin to determine who was behind the run on the banks that according to Kanjorski could “have collapsed the entire economy of the United States and within twenty-four hours, the world economy…?” As Kanjorski detailed: “It would have been the end of our economic system and political system as we know it.”

President Obama is lucky. It is not everyday that a President’s legislative priority, as Senator, becomes a reality because of a billionaire. But that’s what happened last month when famed investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett pledged $50 million to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to create a global nuclear fuel bank to ostensibly discourage nations from enriching their own uranium. In 2007, as a Senator, Obama introduced legislation that would create an international fuel bank and give the IAEA, an arm of the United Nations, $50 million taxpayer dollars …

Some of the “One Nation” sponsors including the N.A.A.C.P., the A.F.L.-C.I.O., the Sierra Club and the National Council of La Raza, said they hoped to show that they represented the country’s majority, not the Tea Party. “Yes, we can!” was chanted, harkening back to the Obama 2008 campaign, as well as chants like “Obama ain’t no Socialist. We are! We are!”

How many people attended Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Saturday? That question appears to have the media perplexed.
Here is what I know and saw.
The crowd that gathered on August 28, 2010, 47 years to the day of the great civil rights march where Martin Luther King delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech advocating racial harmony, actually began arriving the evening before.

The American Foreign Policy Council released a report entitled, “Toward An Economic Warfare Strategy Against Iran.” Here is how it begins:
America’s strategy toward Iran is faltering. Nearly seven years after the disclosure of the Iranian regime’s nuclear program, and a year-and-a-half after the start of “engagement” on the part of the Obama administration, Washington has yet to see a substantive diplomatic breakthrough in the deepening international impasse over the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions. To the contrary, mounting evidence suggests that Iran’s rulers have used the strategic pause afforded …

The JournoList scandal that has been bubbling since June is poised to explode. It calls into question the future of journalism which once was about speaking truth to power. Today Jonathon Strong at the Daily Caller reports how journalists from Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic worked to protect then Presidential candidate Barack Obama by burying the story about his 20-year pastor and mentor Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s incendiary diatribes and dubious alliances that were threatening to derail his candidacy. Play the …

This July 4, to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United Nations Foundation released a video inviting Americans to become “global citizens,” while pushing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It appears the UN Foundation is taking a page from then Senator Obama’s speech in Berlin, when he said, “But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together.”
The video is called “Unanimous: What Americans say about the United Nations.” Watch it.
According to their website, the UN Foundation, is a public charity that was created in …

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg might want to retool some of his immigration reform initiatives within his new national coalition, the Partnership for a New American Economy, and team up with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to tell the federal government to “do their job.”
Why?
Because the Mayor’s idea to give immigrant investors green cards to create jobs for Americans already exists. It’s called the EB-5 category for Immigrant Investors. In fact, the EB-5 has been on the books since 1990—that’s twenty years. The problem is the federal government-run United …

Here’s an advance peek at the Rolling Stone article, The Runaway General, by Michael Hastings that has rocked the Obama Administration, and more importantly, rocked the fate of the war in Afghanistan.
“How’d I get screwed into going to this dinner?” demands Gen. Stanley McChrystal. It’s a Thursday night in mid-April, and the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is sitting in a four-star suite at the Hôtel Westminster in Paris. He’s in France to sell his new war strategy to our NATO allies – to keep …

More than 1000 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan fighting an enemy whose ideology in part loves death more than life. With the war in Afghanistan getting deadlier by the day, freelance writer Michael Hasting’s profile, the “Runaway General,” in Rolling Stone Magazine has triggered a public relations war: the Obama White House v. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan, after he made disparaging remarks about President Obama and other top administration officials including Vice President Joe Biden, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, General Jim Jones and Ambassador Karl …
