Published By Allyson Zoto
After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that’s fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It’s added to the chicken feed on purpose!

(MYRTLE BEACH) This article is dedicated to the family of Brian David Robinson from Caro, Michigan who served his country and lost his life — not in Iraq or Afghanistan — but in the U.S. after numerous hospitalizations at Veterans Administration hospitals being treated for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction. Here is Brian’s story similar to tens of thousands of other veterans stories who have lost their lives after medical treatment at veterans hospitals with prescription opioids handed out like candy.
Glen Miller it wasn’t… the Glockenspiel Furlough
In peace, there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger.

(DAYTONA BEACH) The Compny Commander had us lined up in morning formation, on that historic day in July, 1952 when the marching band for the 84th Field Artillery Battalion was formally inaugurated. It was the second week of basic for our training company, I might add, but even then we were already hardened troops.
“We’re going to have a compny band,” the Captn said. “Although none of you are entitled to a pass yet because you don’t knows how to act like soldiers, I’m going to make an exception in the interests of military preparedness and esprit de corps. Any man in this compny who has a musical instrument back home can have a weekend pass to go and get it.”
“Do you mean like a dance band, sir?” said the First Lt.
Who is Netanyahu?
Netanyahu’s fixation on Hizbollah, Syria, Hamas, and Iran only shows who actually stands in resistance to this blood-drenched scenario planned by the Zionist movement.

SRI LANKA: Continuing militarisation of Tamil school children across northeast
Visvanathan for Global News Centre
(CHENNAI) Please read this article on the continued militarisation in schools. No where else in the world the military gets involved in the education of children; not even in South Sri Lanka, where the children are predominantly Sinhalese. It happens only in the North-East of Sri Lanka, where the people are predominantly Tamils. Why do they do this?
Global News Centre Human Rights Ambassador asks Modi to ensure that Teesta Setalvad guaranteed right to a fair trial
Teesta Setalvad
I express my concern at the risk of detention faced by Teesta Setalvad. I believe that the accusations against the human rights defender are directly linked to her peaceful and legitimate work in the defence of human rights, in particular in combating impunity in the context of communal violence.
William Gomes Global News Centre Human Rights Ambassador
(LONDON) Teesta Setalvad is a journalist and founder of Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) and Sabrang Trust. CJP was established in April 2002, in the immediate aftermath of the communal violence of the Gujarat riots, to provide legal aid to the survivors of the riots. On 13 February 2015, the Indian Supreme Court ordered a stay on the arrest of Ms Teesta Setalvad and her spouse, Mr Javad Anand, until 19 February 2015. Setalvad, along with her spouse and three other individuals, are under investigation for allegedly embezzling funds intended for the construction of a memorial to the victims of the 2002 Gujarat riots.

Jerusalem is being ethnically cleansed of its people and transformed into a city run by and for racists instead of being a city of peace. The Palestinian self-appointed leaders are in a self-preservation mode.
Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh Global News Centre
(BETHLEHEM) Google puts interesting tidbits on their logo every day worth reading. Today for example they remind us of the birthday of Italian Physics pioneer Alessandro Volta (February 18, 1745 – March 5, 1827) who invented the battery and after whom we say volt and voltage for electricity. We continue to live in societies in which idiotic fundamentalist people professing religion can do ethnic cleansing and massacres using modern tools of scientific inventions for evil acts.
We continue to lose great people.
The Danger of making police scapegoats for larger racial problems
The inner-city culture which promotes the social dissolution that results in crime has been written about for many years by respected black observers.
Allan Brownfeld Global News Centre
(WASHINGTON DC) The attacks upon police for “racism” have been mounting as a result of the killings of black men in Ferguson, Missouri, Staten Island and elsewhere. Many with a history of demagoguery when it comes to questions of race relations, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton among them, have done their best to keep this issue alive. Sadly, they have cast more heat than light on a question which is far more complex than their self-serving analysis would lead Americans to believe.
Recently, FBI director James Comey addressed this question. At the outset, he declared certain “hard truths,” including the fact that the history of law enforcement has been tied to enforcing slavery, segregation and other forms of discrimination. “One reason we cannot forget our law enforcement legacy,” he said, “is that the people we serve and protect cannot forget it, either.”
