Sunday, July 18, 2010 The Big Lie / BP'S Dealings In The Gulf (1 comments)

Wednesday, July 7, 2010 Iraq Is America's Gaza
Iraq is America's Gaza and, like Gaza, it cries for justice to a world which would rather ignore its plight as well as America and Great Britain's role in this murderous error of judgement. Our karmic debt, like Israels with Gaza , is immeasurable: Allen L Roland
Monday, July 5, 2010 Kagan Hearings A Farce

Gratefulness is the lifeblood of soul consciousness and the only antidote for the self inflicted poison of self pity , resentment and unworthiness. Life is meant to be celebrated ~ and it is when we become grateful for what we already do have versus resentful for what we don't have: Allen L Roland
Saturday, June 12, 2010 Gates Of Hell Are Opening In The Gulf (1 comments)

Tuesday, April 28, 2009 The Death Of Humanitarian Law Was Gaza
