If humans were going to visit another planet in our solar system, the first possible planet would be Mars. Its deserts are similar to earth’s, with dunes and mountains full of iron oxides. Though its atmostphere isn’t friendly to humans, it does have potential similarities to earth, like the possibility of underground oceans and ancient bacteria life-forms. With it being the closest planet to earth, Mars has caught our attention as the first planet we could explore.
It is home to the most powerful person in the world, it is a center of global military power and it is one of the most heavily protected fortresses ever built, but behind the classic columns and lush green lawns are secrets, secrets so outrageous, so controversial, so dangerous that they must be kept hidden from the public. There are those that believe in the existence of a book, a book that contains the most highly guarded secrets of the United States of America, a book who’s very existence is known to only a select few but if such a book exists what would it contain? Secret histories, secret plans, secret lies?

Searching for Exile: Truth or Myth
For centuries, Jews have lamented the destruction of their holy city Jerusalem and their temple by the Romans, which they believed was the beginning of their long 2000 years of exile. Exile is not only a religious Jewish belief but for millions of Jewish and non Jewish alike it is a historical fact. But what has been considered as fact for centuries is now being challenged by archeaological evidence unearth across Israel. Here in the ancient town of Sepphoris just 70 miles from Jerusalem evidence points not to a people driven into exile but on the contrary to a population that not only survived but flourished. So why has exile been seen as a reality for thousands of years? and if it did not take place exactly as told, then what accounts for the millions of Jews who over the centuries have settled around the world? and perhaps the inevitable question, what happened to the inhabitance (sic) of places like Sepphoris who were never exiled.
The Mafia's Secret Bunkers
There is a new front line in the war against organized crime. In southern Italy’s rugged highlands a previously unknown criminal group know as the ‘Ndrangheta meet, it’s bosses are some of Europe’s biggest cocaine traffickers. The police are fighting back forcing mafiosi underground into bizarre sophisticated bunkers. From here they run their criminal empires protected by a wall of silence. “They dug up the entire street to bury their bunkers and no body breathed a word”. This is the story of a little known mafia who’s secret inner workings are only now coming to light.

Turkey Announces Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas
As dark fell on Tuesday night, reports from inside the Gaza Strip painted a grim picture, despite the fact that a ceasefire appeared to be imminent. Multiple foreign journalists have been reporting via real-time updates on Twitter that Israel dropped hundreds of leaflets throughout Gaza earlier today, warning residents to move toward the center and to Gaza City for their safety.Gaza City is in the north part of Gaza Strip.
If the Earth warms by more than 7-Fahrenheit degrees on average by the end of this century, never-seen-before floods, droughts, heat waves, and other climatic disasters will follow, with the world’s poorest countries at the most risk, said a new report commissioned by the World Bank. But it stressed that all nations on earth will suffer.
Studies On Both Sides Say To Increase The Minimum Wage
It is a red-letter day when think tanks and pundits from both sides of the debate agree on something. Today is that day, when groups as diverse as the American Conservative magazineand the progressive think tank Demos stand in agreement on one very important topic – raising the minimum wage.
I would like to talk about the current conflict that is going on between Israel and militant Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip. We need to end the mindless chanting and fights on social media and realize that neither group is a monolith, that there are innocent people who are being killed.
Death Sentence Should Not Be Based On Biblical Precepts, Says Americans United
In a friend-of-the-court brief filed today before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Americans United and other groups assert that Anthony J. Farina’s sentencing was prejudiced because prosecutor John Tanner pursued a “biblical strategy” during Farina’s penalty phase. Farina had been found guilty of murder, and Tanner argued that the Bible – specifically the Book of Romans – called for the death penalty.
Can the FBI read your email? If you are former CIA Director David Petraeus, the answer is apparently "yes." But critics are asking whether the FBI's actions in Petraeus' case were legal.
A system of disasters THE TRUE story of Sandy is as much about real estate as global warming. Since the 1960s, everyone on the Atlantic seaboard who could afford it has wanted to live in a beach town or own a second home along the shore. This endless building boom, unrestrained by serious regional or national planning, has put several trillion dollars of prime real estate in harm's way. http://socialistworker.org/2012/11/20/a-system-of-disasters

The Israeli onslaught against Gaza, now entering its second week, has killed and maimed hundreds of Palestinian civilians—men, women and children. A largely defenseless and severely deprived population has been subjected to unrelenting bombardment from air, land and sea. Much of the territory’s already dilapidated infrastructure is being reduced to rubble.
It’s Time to Overhaul the Transportation Security Administration
If there is any absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off. Indeed, one of the greatest culprits when it comes to swindling taxpayers is the Transportation Security Administration, one of the most corrupt, ineffective, and downright abusive of the government’s many agencies (which is saying a lot) and a massive waste of taxpayer money.
Report on torture must be made public to Americans After 9/11, the phrase "United We Stand" was everywhere. Bumper stickers, T-shirts and other memorabilia prominently displayed the slogan. We demonstrated our unity in acts big and small. Interfaith efforts focused on responding to attacks on Islam. Members of Congress sang together on the steps of the Capitol in a show of bipartisan unity. Local religious leaders of diverse faiths together held a prayer service in the church where I serve, First Congregational Church of Long Beach, to remember the victims of 9/11. http://www.presstelegram.com/opinions/ci_22017972/jerry-stinson-report-torture-must-be-made-public
5 Christian Right Delusions Busted by Romney and GOP Losses
