THOMAS EDMUND DEWEY (b. March 24, 1902, Owosso, Mich., U.S.--d. March 16, 1971, Bal Harbour, Fla.), vigorous U.S. prosecuting attorney whose successful racket-busting career won him three terms as governor of New York (1943-55). A long-time Republican leader, he was his party's presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948 but lost in both elections. Dewey graduated from the University of Michigan in 1923 and received his law degree from Columbia University in 1925. Admitted to the New York bar in 1926, Dewey launched his government career five years later as chief assistant to the U.S. attorney for the southern district of the state. Between 1935 and 1937 he garnered national attention as ...

NEW YORK -- "I became radical because I thought I had good reason to become radical. I became liberal because I thought I had good reason to become liberal. And then I became conservative because I thought I had good reason to be conservative. It seems to me perfectly natural." That is how Irving Kristol describes his ideological odyssey, one that took him from the left-wing hothouse of City College of New York in the late 1930s to the center of the Reagan revolution four decades later. Three other Jewish sons of New York's poorest neighborhoods and City College, Nathan Glazer, Daniel Bell and Irving Howe, took similar journeys at the same time on the same ideological subway ...

Chapter 13: The Mood of Three Generations A. The Once-Born, the Twice-Born, and the After-Born We get the belief in the old age of mankind, the belief at all times harmful, that we are late survivals, mere Epigoni. --Nietzsche IT IS DIFFICULT for me to know if I am, or am not, of the "young generation." I came to political awareness in the Depression and joined the Young People's Socialist League in 1932, at the precocious age of thirteen. At the age of fifteen I was writing resolutions on the "road to power." At C.C.N.Y., in the late thirties, I was already a veteran of many factional wars. Since graduating, in 1938, I have worked for twenty years, half my ...

Hip, Cool, Beat�and Frantic The hipster-writer is a perennial perverse bar mitzvah boy, proudly announcing: �Today I am a madman. Now give me the fountain pen.� The frozen thugs gathered west of Sheridan Square or in the hopped-up cars do not bother with talk. That�s why they say �man� to everybody�they can�t remember anybody�s name. But Ginsberg and Kerouac are frantic. They care too much, and they care aloud. �I�m hungry, I�m starving, let�s eat right now!� That they care mostly for themselves is a sign of adolescence, but at least they care for something, and it�s a beginning.

O. Edmund Clubb, a United States Foreign Service officer who became a major target of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy's investigation of supposedly disloyal Americans in the State Department in the early 1950's, died of Parkinson's disease Tuesday at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He was 88 years old and lived in Manhattan and in Palenville, N.Y. Mr. Clubb served for more than two decades in the Foreign Service. He was the last American diplomat stationed in Beijing after the Communist takeover in 1949, and it fell upon him, as Consul General , to haul down the flag there in April 1950. Returned to Washington, he was named chief of the China desk at the State Department, only ...
"Communists Should Not Teach in American Colleges"

The question of whether a member of the Communist Party should be allowed to teach in an American college is by no means a simple one. Despite the fact that many persons in educational circles appear to find easy answers to this question, those of us who have examined the question most carefully perhaps find the answers more difficult. ��������������� The general outlines of the examination of this problem in the recent cases at the University of Washington are probably well enough known that they need not be reviewed in detail here. Suffice it to say that the question was surveyed from ...
The Ekron Inscription: Re-reading the first Philistine text

Ten years ago a major archaeological event occurred in Palestine: the Ekron Inscription was unearthed. It is the first real Philistine inscription to be discovered until now. After 2,500 years of silence, the people who gave Palestine its name climbed the stage to speak again. They uttered two sentences of about 80 letters. A very short speech, indeed, but of great importance. The stone of the inscription has been found in what is supposed to be Ekron city near ‘aqir village, and close to the coastal area close to Ashdod. The language is Semite, the letters are Phoenician. Conventional wisdom says that the Philistines were of Greek origin and were supposed to land on Palestine's ...
Ruins of Oldest Protestant Church in America Found at Jamestown

Researchers at Jamestown, Va., may have found the site where the first Protestant church in North America was built. Dr. William Kelso, head of the research team at Jamestown, which was founded as a settlement established by the Virginia Company of London in the 17th century, explained in an interview with The Christian Post that the group began excavating at the site where they may have found the church in the summer of 2010. Kelso, an American archaeologist specializing in Virginia’s colonial period, believes the ruins found are the church because of a “Record of construction in Spring of 1608, burials in the east or chancel end” and that it “matches dimensions ...
Was Lincoln a Christian?

There has been plenty written on this subject, but there is hardly a clear-cut answer for this one. Though his parents were Baptists, young Lincoln never joined their church. In New Salem, he allegedly wrote an “Infidel Book,” in which he denied several of the basic tenets of Christianity. Though his wife joined churches in Springfield, Lincoln never did, but he did attend church services with her. As president, he remained unaffiliated with any religious denomination. All that being true, I don’t think anyone would deny that the man was “religious.” He read the Bible and was able to quote passages from memory. His political speeches contain too many references ...

In Shocking Twist No One Could Have Foreseen, Kochs' Family Empire Founded on Government Handouts Yasha Levine has written a great short history of the life of Harry Koch, grandfather of Charles and David Koch and founder of the family's economic empire. Guess what? In the second half of the 19th century, America was in the grip of a massive railroad boom. Boosted by eager investors, lucrative subsidies and free land, railroads sprung up connecting every corner of the United States without much thought for demand or necessity... Dutch investors were heavily involved in several railroad lines in the North Texas area, including the Fort Worth and Denver Railway Company, which had ...

(CNN) -- A Chicago woman said Monday that Herman Cain sexually groped her in 1997 when Cain was head of the National Restaurant Association.
Sharon Bialek made the claims during a press conference with famed defense attorney Gloria Allred.
Bialek is the fourth accuser to come forward with allegations of inappropriate behavior by Cain.
Three other women have alleged Cain harassed them when they worked for the National Restaurant Association while he headed the group in the 1990s. Allred said that the woman she will appear with at the news conference isn't one of those three.
Cain has vehemently denied committing sexual harassment.
Allred says the alleged harassment took place ...

Stuart Littlewood charts the British lies and duplicity, manifested most blatantly in the Balfour Declaration whereby Britain promised to give something it did not own (Palestine) to someone who had no right to have (the Zionist settlers), and the resulting bloodshed, pain and injustice. Arthur Balfour's infamous "Declaration" was written 94 years ago this week. Palestinians, of course, don’t need reminding. And to mark the anniversary Israel ordered its warships to carry out yet another act of piracy on peaceful, innocent shipping carrying humanitarian relief to the imprisoned people of Gaza. British duplicity Let's cast out minds back – Stephen ...

Back in March I was due to fly to Japan with a film crew. We knew there had been earthquakes but the trip still seemed feasible. Mid-journey the first pictures of the tsunami began to appear on our phones and iPads. The images were so monstrous they were hard to credit. Our flight was aborted. The suffering of the Japanese is immense – but it is a kind I have seen documented before. Around 1620BC the Greek island of Thera (now known as Santorini) blew sky high. Thera is in fact one giant volcano and its Bronze Age eruption was the greatest geophysical event in the human experience. Forensic investigation of the seabed over the past five years tells us the eruption was 400 times the ...

The Dark Legacy of Reaganomics

The Dark Legacy of Reaganomics September 20, 2011 Exclusive: For half a century – from the depths of the Great Depression until the rise of Ronald Reagan – the U.S. government invested in building the nation and funding key research. And the country flourished. But Reagan then reversed those priorities. The results are in, writes Robert Parry. By Robert Parry (about the author) It may be political heresy to say so, but a strong case could be made that the greatest American "job creator" over the past 80 years has been the federal government -- or put differently, the government built the framework that private companies then used to create profits and jobs. This ...
Chinese vs White (Germanic) Europeans: The Western Europeans were Germanic Barbarians who raped and plundered the world unlike the superior Chinese

Europeans stolen ancient Chinese technologies to commit atrocities all over the world. China is the only kingdom that survives the test of time, and truly has 5000 years of history. Western Civilization is the result of what raping and pillaging Vandals (Germanics) did with Chinese technology. The Chinese had "guns, germs and steel" and they did not go out to enslave, rape and slaughter populations around the world.

And now comes retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens to assure the nation that what we thought happened in 2000 really did happen: Five justices kowtowed to the obscene request of an over-reaching mob of democracy molesters to hand the presidency of the United States and leadership of the world as we then knew it to the least son of a family that made its fortune supporting Hitler, and acquired its US political currency when the pater familias worked as second-banana to the most banal leader in modern history, Ronald Reagan. Huffington Post has reported that Stevens wrote, regarding the stay that allowed the execrable Florida recount/revision to take place, “What I still ...
The Real Story of How Israel Was Created

by ALISON WEIR To better understand the Palestinian bid for membership in the United Nations, it is important to understand the original 1947 UN action on Israel-Palestine. The common representation of Israel’s birth is that the UN created Israel, that the world was in favor of this move, and that the US governmental establishment supported it. All these assumptions are demonstrably incorrect. In reality, while the UN General Assembly recommended the creation of a Jewish state in part of Palestine, that recommendation was non-binding and never implemented by the Security Council. Second, the General Assembly passed that recommendation only after Israel proponents threatened and ...
15 Years & Smears With Fox News

As Fox News celebrates its 15th anniversary, Media Matters looks back on 15 of the network's most outlandish smears since 2004. Fox News: Kerry Just Loves His Manicures. Loves them! On October 1, 2004, Fox chief political correspondent Carl Cameron wrote a fake news story about Sen. John Kerry receiving a manicure before a debate and included false quotes like "'Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!' Kerry said Friday" and "'Women should like me! I do manicures,' Kerry said." The network subsequently issued a retraction and an apology. But this "stupid mistake" was not the only time Fox ridiculed Sen. Kerry for ...
The Sphinx Decoded?

"The first time I went to Egypt and saw the Sphinx with my own eyes, I was deeply shocked," writes Robert Temple, Ph.D in his recent book (with Olivia Temple), The Sphinx Mystery, for "the Sphinx did not look at all like a lion." Everyone knows that the Great Sphinx, ensconced for millennia on the Giza plateau near modern-day Cairo, is a lion with a man's head; specifically the head of the Pharaoh Chephren, thought by archaeologists to have built the Sphinx during Egypt's Old Kingdom, roughly the mid-third millennium B.C. But Robert Temple, try as he might, could see no lion: For one thing, the back of the monument, the spine (as it were) of the animal, is ...
BMW dynasty breaks silence over Nazi past

The dynasty behind the German car manufacturer BMW has broken its silence over its dark Nazi past and admitted to using forced labourers in its factories and profiting from the "aryanisation" of Jewish businesses. The Quandt family empire, which became a major shareholder in BMW after the Second World War building it up to become one of the most desirable car brands, launched a project to investigate its Nazi-era activities after unpleasant revelations were aired in a 2007 TV documentary. The ensuing research using company files from the 12-year period of the Third Reich has established the depth of collaboration between the family patriarch, Günther Quandt and his son ...
