The worst was yet to come. Post-9/11, Washington waged multiple wars on Islam and plans more for unchallenged global dominance. It ravaged the world one country at a time, killing millions. Saying so and expressing outrage isn't criminal. It's patriotic and heroic.
Pimentel's site doesn't declare war. It covers detailed information on America's war on Islam. So do others featuring distinguished writers and scholars.
They explain what everyone needs to know and tries to stop.
We're all in the same fight to prevent America's rogue imperialism from destroying humanity entirely.
A Final Comment
A previous article discussed Hank Skinner 's unjust capital punishment sentencing. Clear evidence showed he was framed for a crime he didn't commit.
Skinner lives in Texas. Since presidential aspirant Rick Perry took office in December 2000, 234 executions occurred, more than under any other modern governor. At the same time, he refuses to admit erroneously putting anyone innocent to death, despite over 130 exonerated inmates nationwide since 1973.
In Texas and other states, innocence isn't enough to assure justice, even on matters of life and death.
On November 9, Skinner was scheduled to be executed. On September 1, Texas law SB 122 took effect. It's to ensure procedural barriers don't prevent prisoners from testing all relevant biological evidence, including what previously wasn't examined.
Skinner's life depended on whether Gray County district court upheld the law or, with time running out, whether further appeals for justice so far denied were possible.
On November 7, the court temporarily suspended his execution. Rob Owen, one of Skinner's attorneys said:
"We are confident that upon careful review, the court will conclude that DNA testing is necessary. The stakes are too high to allow Mr. Skinner to be executed before he has a fair chance to make his case that the trial court made a grave mistake in denying his request for DNA testing."
Thousands of petition signatures support him. Owen hopes Governor Perry will "take the time necessary to be scientifically certain of Mr. Skinner guilt before permitting him to be executed."
Despite his horrendous record in office and cavalier attitude, Skinner hopes he'll be the exception in a state accounting for half of all executions in America.
