THOMAS PAINE AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN
David Morris, AlterNet
In Paine's version of 'intelligent design,' science and religion are inextricably linked; in the Kansas school board's definition, they are adversaries.

GREETINGS FROM NY 9/11 TRUTH NEWS
Sunday Nov 20 at 8PM - SANDER HICKS
THE BIG WEDDING: 9/11, WHISTLEBLOWERS & THE COVER-UP
Publisher of the critical Bush biography Fortunate Son in 2001, Sander Hicks casts a hard look at the official story of the 9/11 attacks in his new book The Big Wedding, a whirlwind tour of criminal informants and suppressed intelligence insiders. "Hicks is out to do nothing less than expose the planet's most insidious nexus: the jihadists, bankers, mercenaries, drug dealers, and so-called leaders who are currently pantomiming their way through a charade they've dubbed the 'war on terror.' Imagine Henry Rollins meets the young Bob Woodward - a clean-cut, hard-as-nails punk with the reporting chops to take on an empire." - Anthony Lappe (gnn.tv)

Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey Signs on to the Department of Peace Bill
By Andrea Loretz-Frey: We are certainly living in some very exciting times! October was a busy month for district 7 with continued campaign discussions, "thank you" letters and follow-ups regarding the many campaign meetings that took place in September and over the summer. This month posed a lot of discussion with fellow campaign supporters with how to reach the wider population in our communities to educate others on this campaign. It is very clear that the campaign for a U.S. Department of Peace & Non-violence is spreading with great fervor, as many in our communities reach out to seek other ways to help our communities, and our world.
I would like to extend a huge "thank you" to Joe de Rivera for recently taking the time to discuss the campaign with Congressman Ed Markey and “seal the deal”! It is proof that all of the collective cumulative efforts over the past couple of years and most recent intense efforts these past months do matter!
New Co-sponsor for Dept of Peace Bill … Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT), former Republican, is now the second member of the Senate to support this legislation!
City Council Resolutions In San Jose and Sebastopol, CA recently passed measures supporting the Department of Peace legislation! Congratulations to local activists who worked to make this happen. A total of 9 cities across the country have passed similar measures. Two of those cities, San Jose, CA, and Detroit, MI, are respectively the 10th and 11th largest cities in the nation.
