Sam Husseini is a legendary gadfly journalist whose approach could be described as “Seymour Hersh meets We Are Change.” He has been thrown out of a Trump-Putin press conference,  suspended from the National Press Club for asking the Saudi ambassador pointed questions, and more recently stonewalled by the State Department for enquiring about COVID origins.

Sam Husseini’s latest article is “‘Will You Urge Israel to Not Starve and Slaughter People?’ — State Department Ignores Series of my Questions.” He notes: “The first 15 minutes of the State Department briefing today were completely surreal propaganda. One would have no idea that Israel had ever hurt a fly.”

Sam Husseini has had bylines at CounterPunch, antiwar.com, The Nation, Salon, Consortium News. FAIR, and elsewhere. He’s founder of VotePact.org.

“Major news outlets are treating this as a ‘terrorist’ act, Israel’s ‘9-11’, and not the response of a people who ha…

Challenger Disaster whistleblower Richard Cook, author of Our Country, Then and Now, discusses his new article “Is World War III About to Start?” Parts 1 and 2 were published by ScheerPost. But the ultra-controversial Part 3, which touches on the “Zionists are depopulating Ukraine so they can create a new Khazaria a.k.a. ‘Big Israel’” hypothesis, was refused. So I posted it at the free speech site VTForeignPolicy.

Cook: “President Biden has said, ‘The world faces the biggest risk of nuclear Armageddon since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.’ The context of Biden’s statement came a month earlier on September 21, 2022, when Putin warned the West he was not bluffing when he said he would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia against what he said was ‘nuclear blackmail.’ …So was Biden correct? Is nuclear Armageddon looming? Or is ‘brinkmanship’ today merely ‘bluffmanship?'”

Canadian Muslim Eric Walberg‘s “Reinventing the wheel: Islam and homosexuality” critically reviews Scott Kugle’s books Homosexuality in Islam: Critical reflection on gay lesbian, and transgender Muslims (2010) and Living out Islam: Voices of gay, lesbian and transgender Muslims (2014). Eric notes that “Kugle’s sifting through Islamic history and jurisprudence reveals that this whole debate took place at various times in Islamic history, starting with the time of the Prophet, the first caliphs, and the debate continued until at least the 12th c.” So why reinvent the wheel? Is there a not-so-hidden agenda? Eric’s conclusion: “Kugle calls his (sodomy-permitting) version of a reformed sharia ‘Islamic humanism’.”  Which raises the question: Is Kugle’s real religion humanism, which makes an idol of the human being, rather than islam(submission of the human to the Divine)?

Eric Walberg also directs us to this scholarly refutation of Kugle by Mobeen Vaid.

Note: This discussion is highly topical in light of the Muslim-led 1 Million March 4 Children that recently rocked Canada and drew Islamophobic pushback from Trudeau.
