… Quando il gioco si fa duro Repubblica non risparmia pagine. Di sciocchezze. Affidandole ai suoi sciocchezzatori di punta. Caratteristica principale dello sciocchezzatore – quando non si libri nel vasto cielo delle bugie – è quella di aggrapparsi al dettaglio per divagare nel grande mare delle analogie.
Specialista di queste virtù è il noto Garton Ash, quello che credette sinceramente a tutte le panzane di Rumsfeld e di Colin Powell prima della guerra irachena, ricamandovi sopra intere vagonate di sciocchezze, per poi riconoscere l’abbaglio, ma anche per accusare contestualmente Saddam Hussein, reo (oltre che novello Hitler) di averci tutti tratti in inganno per non aver dichiarato per tempo che non le aveva, le armi di distruzione di massa … (www.giuliettochiesa.it).

Annie Lacroix-Riz – France

The Times of London (October 9, 1996) had the following provocative headline: « French chemical firm is linked to Holocaust gas ». It goes on to speculate that a French chemical company may have played a role in the manufacture of poison gas that had been used, as we have all been told for half a century, « . . . to murder millions of Jews in Nazi death camps ». So says a French university professor who claims that her findings have been « censored » by a government-backed history journal. The person who has discovered this newest wrinkle is Annie Lacroix-Riz, Professor of Modern History at the University of Toulouse. The good professor submitted an article to Etudes et Documents, a history journal published under the aegis of the Finance and Economics Ministry, in which she outlined possible links between the French chemical group Ugine and the manufacture of Zyklon B. The journal refused to publish. Mme Lacroix-Riz had cited Ugine’s role in the creation of a « mixed » Franco-German company, Durferrit-Sofumi, which earned huge profits by manufacturing insecticide between 1941 and 1943. In two years, so her paper claimed, the corporate earnings from this insecticide skyrocketed fifteen-fold.

He says: « On your decision depends the fate of the entire world. »

Read first his Summer 2004 Message.

Arvol Looking Horse was born on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota in 1954 and was raised by his grandparents Lucy and Thomas Looking Horse. While growing up on the reservation, he learned the language, history, and spiritual ways of his people. At age twelve, Arvol was given a great responsibility. He became the nineteenth-generation keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe. Since then, and due to his understanding of the tragic history of his people, the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota, Arvol has committed his life to working for freedom, peace, and the cultural revival and healing of his people. Arvol’s degree of commitment to helping not only his own people, his sharing of the Native Prophecies, as well as creating awareness and understanding throughout the world, has placed him along with other great leaders in the forefront of the quest for world peace.
