301. Local Government Apathy
     Copyright 2006 Al Arnold I have been concerned about government/political apathy for some time. Especially, when it comes to local government. A unique idea has come out of Nevada. Daniel Rosen has announced his intent to run for U.S. Congress. If elected, he promises to vote as instructed by his constituents on his web site. He claims that 'Registered voters in the 2nd District of Nevada will have total control over how I vote. I'm not running an opinion poll. It's a binding process.' I see pro…



302. President Hillary Rodham Clinton?
     Is America ready for Hillary Clinton as President of the United States? I, for one, am NOT, as I am sure many others are in agreement. But then we have the shallow-minded intransigents, of whom fail to deem beyond what they consider, their own indubitable intellect. They are too busy looking within themselves to see what is before them. Therefore, eagerly leaping onto the Political jackass, they blindly err as a Steed...Or should we say 'Mare'. I have nothing personally against Mrs. Clinton, oth…



303. Dr. Michelle Bachelet likely Victor In Chile's Dec. 11 Presidential Election.
     Brian McAfee brimac6@hotmail.com Dr. Michelle Bachelet likely Victor In Chile's Dec. 11 Presidential Election. Chile's Socialist party's presidential candidate, Dr Michelle Bachelet, stands poised to be the next president of Chile. She has a significant lead in the polls, and if there is a run-off election she is expected to still be the victor. Her closest opponent, Joaquin Lavin, a conservative, trails well behind her. Dr Bachelet endured numerous personal tragedies in the years of Pinochet'…



304. Memories of being 'Outed'
     2006 already seems to have much in common with 2005. 2005, with the endless drumbeat of 'the attack on Christianity', the spin-off 'War On Christmas', 'religious leaders' calling for an assassination of a foreign leader, denouncing the right of an entire city to ask for God's help should they need it, pointing to the 'behavior' of a city's residents (often out-of-town visitors) for the reason it drowned, terror at the thought of gay marriage, and other matters purportedly related to religion pic…



305. Ferdinand Marcos - President of the Philippines 1917-1989
     A trained lawyer, Marcos was convicted of assassinating a political opponent of his father in 1939 and, from his condemned cell, argued his case up to the Philippine Surpreme Court, where he won an acquittal. During the Second World War, Marcos collaborated with the Japanese who occupied the Philippines - though he later claimed to have led the Filipino resistance, a fiction in which the United States colluded, awarding him medals. He emerged from the war a wealthy man and served in the Philippi…



306. Powerless Humans in Florida, Thanks Wilma By Lance Winslow
     Well you guessed much of Southern Florida is still without power and this is troubling residents and business owners. Some gas stations have brought in portable generation or are on emergency power back systems.All the cigarette lighter adapters, inverters and appliances are sold out everywhere. Many businesses remain closed, as 41% of Florida Power and Light Customers, which had their power go out are still without power.The estimate of when that might all be fixed? Well, officials are hoping…



307. If Terrorists Are To Become Slick Politicians, Yhey Need Time Rather Than God on Their Side By Angelique Van Engelen
     The number of countries in the world at the moment that are in some form of transition is higher than some ten years ago, and in some ways more efforts are made to resolve situations that threaten stability. And the moves of all involved parties are not without major-league risks.Today, in many countries’ political realities, tribalist and nationalist or globalist forces clash fiercely, undermining chances of peace and democracy. This is particularly topical in the Middle East, where efforts b…



308. Patriot Act: A Poor Compromise On Civil Liberties
     In October 2001, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) in Pakistan was holding at 1100. On March 18, 2004, the index hit 5000, a gain of nearly 400% over a 30 month period. Karachi Stock Exchange was declared as the 'best performing stock market of the world for the year 2002'. One of the catalyst for this remarkable performance was the passage of the Patriot Act in the United States after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The negative repercussions of the Patriot Act forced many Pakistanis in…



309. Protectionism in Russia By Segey Talpa
     The new law "Special Protective, Antidumping and Import Compensatory Measures" differs from the old one by the fact that it fully complies with the WTO (World Trade Organization) standards. It is for the first time in the Russian practice that a law describes in detail what is necessary to do in order to protect the Russian market and how to do it. As its authors promised, the Law has turned out to be extremely concrete: it is conceived so that the officials as well as the participants of trad…



310. Mayor Wonka and the New Orleans Chocolate Factory
     Whether God sent a judgment to New Orleans for its sinfulness is open to debate and perhaps there is no way of knowing that answer until the fat lady sings. What Ray Nagin said about New Orleans being 'a chocolate city' is a bit easier to weigh and it weighs in under the lightweight category for sure. Since hurricane Katrina Ray Nagin has taken on a celebrity status. Now everything he says is public domain as quick as it is uttered. His sense of responsibility does not seem to be keeping pace wi…



311. National ID Cards Have More Than Australians Concerned By Kenn Gividen
     Fearful that terrorists will next target Australia, Prime Minister John Howard broke the silence this week. He reopened the debate on issuing mandated national ID cards.Those who live topside and think that internal political decisions made down under will have little bearing on our lives, should think again.A national ID system in Australia will do more than raid that nation of personal liberty. It will set a precedent to be followed by the rest of the world.So what's the big deal?Once the na…



312. Liberal Think Tanks Fantasy or Legitimacy By Lance Winslow
     Anyone who studies think tanks and has any specialty of knowledge knows how they twist the data in their research, reports and conclusions of other people’s research. It is amazing the amount of BS and questionable conclusions that these think tanks come up with sometime. Then we watch the politicians use these issues to promote their agendas. It is unfortunate that those who label their group’s think tanks are so completely politically driven. Most who study think tanks know how Liberal think…



313. Fight Local Government Apathy - Become Involved
     Copyright 2006 Al Arnold The basics of learning how your local governments operate, can be mastered over time by devoting only two hours a year, to that goal. That is the time it would take for you to attend, just one local government meeting a year. Just imagine every citizen over the age of 18 attending one local government meeting a year. What could happen? It is only natural if someone is 'watching' you do a job, you will take a little extra care to make sure the job is done properly. I beli…



314. Downing In The Mainstream
     Look, I know the world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power and frankly I'm tired of hearing that as an excuse to allow our President to lie to us. The Downing Memo (READ IT HERE), the authenticity of which hasn't been disputed by the British government, details the minutes of a very high level governmental meeting in which the British were certain that the Bush administration was setting up the intelligence to make a case for war in Iraq and come hell or high water they were assured t…



315. Visa for David Ben-Ariel
     Senator DeWine Senator Voinovich David Ben-Ariel Toledo, OH April 27, 2005 Dear Senator DeWine, The Israeli embassy informed your office years ago that I wouldn't be 'eligible for a visa until 2005.' Here we are - NINE YEARS LATER! Can you believe it? And, God knows, my love of Israel is just as strong, and my innocence just as sure, as they surely know. Please use your good office to assist your constituent in obtaining the necessary visa that I may return to visit Israel without complications…



316. My Vietnam by George Bush
     Everyone has his Vietnam. And what is Vietnam but a tale of dashed hopes. Consider some private citizens. Paul Gaugin sailed to French Polynesia in search of an elusive paradise. And died of frustration. That was his Vietnam. Andre de Sarto, the faultless painter, turned thief and lived a tormented life. Because he married the wrong woman. It was his Vietnam. Because he wanted to write the best Scottish poems, Robert Burns trekked away his life in search of Scottish folklores. A certain Vietnam…



317. Oil Production Hurricane Rita By Lance Winslow
     We are a nation, which is motivated by the fuel, which drives us around, without the fuel America stops. It has only been three weeks since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, which damaged some of our oil production but temporarily shut down 30% due to mandatory evacuations of the Oil Rigs.It now appears that there were 46 oil platforms destroyed and approximately 20 with heavy damage. The US MMS Minerals Management Service indicated that 52% of the Gulfs production and one-third of natural…



318. Election Truth
     Yes, it is true that George W. Bush received the most votes of any elected President in our history. He also received more votes against him than any other elected President in the history of our country. The margin of difference between those who want Bush as our President and those who do not is a measly 3%. The fact is that the electoral map is almost identical to that of the year 2000. Bush did win the popular vote by 3.5 million votes but he nearly lost the election, had just 68,001 votes s…



319. Brit-Am Israel responds to David Ben-Ariel
     Brit-Am Israel is a Jerusalem-based organization dedicated to revealing the Israelite origins of the West, but includes an internet newsletter called 'The Jerusalem News.' A recent issue of 'The Jerusalem News' included Steven Plaut's vain attempt to dismiss all charges against Shimon Peres by Barry Chamish through ridicule and misleading 'answers.' I took issue with such dangerous lies, knowing the real killers of Yitzhak Rabin remain free, and wrote Yair to which he responds: Jerusalem News-4…



320. The Bush "There Or Here" Fallacy and the War in Iraq By Carson C. Day
     Today we wish to examine a fallacy, or error in reasoning, which we have found springing up now and again in today's popular discourse about the so-called War On Terror. This one comes straight from the top -- well, not the VERY top -- but from Washington D.C. You have heard the President say it on national teevee, and so have we: "We either have to fight them [the terrorists] over there [i.e. Iraq], or we have to fight them over here [i.e. inside the U.S. border]."Now we have chosen to examin…



321. PALS in Pakistan Part Two - Pakistan's Nuclear Arsenal
     Pakistan's current nuclear security situation is uncertain. While the weapons are in secure storage areas for the present, their safety in a scenario in which Musharraf's government crumbled would be at risk (Mufson). Even assuming Musharraf retains power, the potential for theft of one of their weapons is not far-fetched. A significant portion of the nuclear scientists employed in Pakistan's nuclear program is believed to be Islamic fundamentalists who had maintained strong ties with the Taliba…



322. Give Your Enemy the Keys to Your House
     Everybody has an enemy, or someone they just do not like or trust. We are going to try a new exercise and give the keys to ours house, cars, and bank account numbers to our biggest enemy. Sounds like a brilliant idea, right? It must be brilliant, our government is doing just that. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/23/port.security/index.html I have been critical in the past about our government and our politicians. I will continue to be as long as our country is run the same way. We are just …



323. All There is, is dust in the wind; Dust Particulate Traveling The Globe By Lance Winslow
     Dust from Deserts and Particulate ControlThe greatest contributor to particulate matter, which effects human health comes from the World’s Deserts. In the Western US we have huge deserts. Dust storms from China’s deserts have traveled around the World. This has affected the world’s weather patterns and contributed to even issues of Global Warming. The Sahara desert does the same. The World’s largest deserts such as the Gobi, Australian Out Back, Sahara, Arabian, etc along with deserts like our…



324. True Democracy and a Way Forward By Graeme Wilson
     The process of researching this topic has been an interesting one. It seemed that it would be easy to find information on the Twelve Cycles of Truth if it formed the basis for the Iroquois Confederacy. However, it didn't take long to discover a distinct lack of information on the Twelve Cycles of Truth, while finding a vast amount of information on the Iroquois Confederacy.It initially came to me that perhaps the person promoting the Twelve Cycles of Truth did indeed gain their information fro…



325. Darwinism Still The State Sponsored Religion
     The courts have once again upheld that the religion of Darwinism (i.e. evolution) is the only religion recognizable as true and teachable to our children. There was a time when this type of edict from government to the people would have been heavily frowned upon and might well have been met with loaded guns pointed at those that attempted it. But not today. As the school system in this country has migrated away from its roots of community and church control to county, state and even federal cont…
