Outing The Mother of all Weapons of Mass Destruction
Officially, Israel refuses to confirm or deny reports on its nuclear weapons program, maintaining a long-held policy of what it calls \"deliberate ambiguity\" about its offensive capacity.

Ariel Sharon\\\'s Dastardly Evil Little Plan
But destroying the infrastructure of terrorism is not Ariel Sharon\\\'s aim. His program is far more radical: to break the backbone of the Palestinian people, crush their governmental institutions, turn the people into human wreckage that can be dealt with as he wishes.

An Olive Grove in Occupied Palestine
Almost every Palestinian village has olive groves that border on some settlement or \"outpost\", and that is now controlled by the settlers. When the owners approach to clean the ground or pick the olives, the settlers shoot at them \"in coordination with the army\". The simple pretext: when the villagers pick olives near a settlement, they can see what happens there and threaten it.
A monstrous perversion, indeed: putting a settlement in the middle of a dense populat...

Jury Nullification: The Most Powerful Unused Tool Against Today\'s Fascism
Jury nullification is the sovereign right of a jury to pass judgment, not just on the facts in a case, but on the elemental justice of the law itself. Judges, prosecutors, and other elite pillars of the establishment quake in fear that jurors will widely learn of their true powers, because they know there is nothing they can do to stop it once the secret is out.
Activists, spread the word! Jury nullification is the most powerful, unknown, unused, and unappreciated secret weapon in your arsen...
