576. Nitwit Nation: Is America Too Dumb for Democracy? By Dan Nerhaugen
     Most Americans are enthusiastic supporters of their own civic rights, but few bother to meet any would-be democrat's (or any would-be republican's, if you prefer) number-one responsibility: that of keeping oneself sufficiently literate and well informed to be able to vote rationally and knowledgeably. Mountains of too-long ignored evidence show that the vast majority of our nation's citizens cannot possibly meet that responsibility -- that their functional literacies are so limited that our fo…



577. Restoration in Russia: Much Needed and Inevitable By Helen Shelestiuk
     Translation of Russian political analyst Alexey Pushkov's article of the same name.Handing over power to Vladimir Putin in 1999, Boris Yeltsin sought to preserve the political alignment of forces and coordinates he set during his rule in Russia in 1991-1999. The project 'Heir' did not only imply selecting a man from Yeltsin's 'camp', but the one who would preserve the status quo of the regime. This is indicated, among other things, by the fact that he insisted on his 'key men' Alexey Voloshin …



578. What's With These Apologies?
     It’s always the same refrain, over and over again. The Latin expression “ad nauseam” means “to the point of nausea.” My nausea threshold is pretty low early in the morning, I must admit. To add insult to injury, I always have to ask the same question – and endure the endless, whining answers – every time I teach a new concealed handgun class. “Why do you want to carry a firearm?” I ask a new crop of students.“Well, I wouldn’t, except . . .”“I won’t actually carry it, but sometimes I have to driv…



579. Mexican Tariffs on American Goods? By Lance Winslow
     Mexican has tariffs on goods, which come into its country from the United States. The tariffs in many cases are 50%. This is said to help Mexico’s economy. But if you look at all the money being shipped to Mexico each week by migrant and illegal alien workers you see a much different issue brewing. You see their economy growing and not very much money coming back for US Goods in trade. Thus we are upside down in the trade deficit.Since Mexico will not cooperate in curbing the drug trade into t…



580. What if No One Died of Cancer? By Lance Winslow
     We have all know people in our lives who have been over come from cancer. Cancer is a huge issue in our country and in the world and it will only get worse in the future due to pollution and environmental type cancers. Although we have made huge strides forward in the fight against cancer and many cancers no longer kill people and can be set into remission or completely stopped. Now is a great time to fund more monies in research to find a cure to cancer, as we are making headway.We need to fu…



581. Iraq - War for Jesus - a Greek Myth Character!
     We are presently engaged in a World War. The Muslim 911 was the first shot. In retaliation the President of the United States announced that he was launching a Crusade. The Crusades were a thousand years ago when the Pope marched his Christian army across Europe, slaughtering every Jew in their path, reclaiming the Holy Land for Jesus Christ where the Christian Crusaders stood knee deep in Muslim blood in Jerusalem. So far the United States has conquered Iraq and Afghanistan and it is now threat…



582. The Commander in Chief's Bold Surprise Iraq Visit: Happy Thanksgiving !
     President Bush stunned his critics, the troops and indeed the world, when he flew into Baghdad International Airport on Thanksgiving Day. The President, who was visibly emotional, received a standing ovation from the troops, who were obviously estatic by the surprise visit. What a great morale booster for the troops, and indeed, America. This, my friends, is the mark of a true leader ! A man who has compassion about his convictions, a man who when speaking to Troops wherever he goes is truly emo…



583. Failure to Supervise at the Federal Trade Commission By Lance Winslow
     Many MLM sales people mean well but they inadvertently commit fraud and violate rules and laws in their presentations. This is unfortunate and is an issue too big for the Federal Trade Commission to handle, like SPAM or Identity Theft; the FTC is impotent. Many of these MLM sales people have adopted the term; “Private Franchising” trying to distance themselves from the negative connotations of the multi-level marketing term. There is only one problem; Franchising, has an absolute definitions, …



584. Writing Political Radio Scripts By Scott Perreault
     The challenge for the 2006 election season is to write radio scripts that touch the heart and not deflect off the shield that surrounds the soul of most voters. The conditioning of the mind has been evolving since the first political radio commercials. The challenge for the writer is obvious. Be subtle in the approach. The days of overt name calling or shouting the candidates name in hopes of making an impression with the voters is over. With so many listening options outside the commercial ra…



585. U.S. vs Militias and Gangs
     The United States is a large modern country with devolving inner cities. There are more than 200 million guns in the possession of Americans. Most violent acts in the States are the result of robberies, domestic disputes and drug-related violence. Terrorist acts, ranging from the killing of abortionist doctors to the bombing of the World Trade Center, are highly publicized but not considered a real threat to travelers. The threat of robbery or violent crime in inner cities and some tourist areas…



586. 911 Could Have Been Prevented, Was It Bush’s Fault? By Lance Winslow
     September 11, 2001 could have been prevented. We could have stopped that International Terrorist Act had we just employed a few simple tools. If we would have simply kept our eyes and ears open and had a plan in place. Was it Bush’s fault? No, it was America’s fault. It is our fault for thinking every thing was fine and that the CIA and FBI could protect us from any one of a hundred different types of attacks. International Terrorists have so many ways to attack us.Rumsfeld is correct when he …



587. Who yields to their influence?
     Without having to venture into the back of every restaurant in this city, you know their faces. Without having to open your eyes as you walk down any given street, their culture is heard and felt resonating into the consciousness of each New Yorker. All channels of business and every aspect of society recognize the wealth in their numbers. But who yields to their influence? Has the unequal bargaining amongst the social and economic classes ever benefited anyone other than the particularly weal…



588. Read This Article if You Want to Stop Illegal Immigration By Lance Winslow
     Many people on both sides are literally up in arms over illegal immigration these days. We have the Minute-Men on one side being spurred on by American Patriots and Lou Dobbs and then we have ACLU on the other side saying open the borders and let’s just have a free for all no borders. The ACLU says if Mexico is our neighbor, then why do we put up fences to keep them away?There are many industries which have illegal or immigrant labor such as Carwashes, Fast Food and the Housing Construction In…



589. Military Intelligence, FBI, CIA Intelligence Problems By Lance Winslow
     Well many have complained that the FBI and CIA dropped the ball in the 9-11 attacks. But I submit to you that the days of Paul and the "One if by land, two if by sea" and the Trojan Horse Story are not the only possible attacks methods of operindi available these days. Today it could be: "one if by land, two if by sea, three if by underground, four if by under sea, five if by air, six if by space, seven if by computer, eight if by germ, nine if by Trojan horse, ten if by wave length, eleven if…



590. The FIRST FAMILY of the United States By Robert Baird
     The Randolphs:Peyton Randolph was the first President of the United States and he is a nobleman. I know he is closely connected with the Hapsburgs who lived near the Randolphs and later the Duponts. At the time of Lincoln Paschal Beverly Randolph was a member of the Rosicrucian Council of Three which included Abraham Lincoln. Through this unholy Holy Alliance between secretive parties in England, America and the Church we have the genesis of the New World Order which was in point of fact not r…



591. Droughts, Dirty Water and Disease By Lance Winslow
     When we go through periods of droughts we also have other problems, which are increased. Things such as West Nile Virus, Bark Beetles, Disease Epidemics, Med Fly and realize these problems which occur during certain weather periods are compounded when the cycles get out of control. For instance an El Nino heats up the Pacific Ocean and expands the atmosphere and the jet stream is within the temperature and range to carry insects all the way across the ocean. Birds modify their stopping points …



592. Public Procurement and Very Private Benefits By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     In every national budget, there is a part called "Public Procurement". This is the portion of the budget allocated to purchasing services and goods for the various ministries, authorities and other arms of the executive branch. It was the famous management consultant, Parkinson, who once wrote that government officials are likely to approve a multi-billion dollar nuclear power plant much more speedily that they are likely to authorize a hundred dollar expenditure on a bicycle parking device. T…



593. MORAL ARMOR'S Counterfeit 911: Refuting Michael Moore By Ronald Springer
     Michael Moore asserts the following in his political film Fahrenheit 9/11:Con #1. Bush favors the Bin Laden family over American interests. Regarding the Bin Laden family leaving the country, we as Americans don't punish people for crimes they didn't commit. Releasing them was the civil answer. Imagine if your cousin blew up a building, would you want to go to jail for it? And what do you think the terrorists would have done to our families? Getting them out of the country stemmed a potential …



594. US Government Owes Martha Stewart 1 Billion Dollars By Lance Winslow
     The prosecutors in the Martha Stewart Case used testimony from an FBI agent who lied under oath to secure a conviction. The prosecutors knowingly and willfully allowed the FBI agent to tell a lie while he was a witness in the courtroom. This is fascinating indeed as they could not convict Martha Stewart for insider trading, so instead tried to get her on a lying technicality to the investigators. So in essence the government lied to convict a Billionaire Tax Paying employer who built her busin…



595. Karen Hughes---and My Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism
     Karen had just herded the kids into the back seat of that elephant sized black Lexus SUV they have when I caught her on her cell. As usual, she had the Waylon Jennings pumped up to drown out the sound of little Georgie Joe and Condi Sue screaming in the back. Waylon was singing: She's a good hearted woman In love with a good timing man. She loves him in spite of The wicked things that she don’t understand She clicked in with “This is Karen” and I just couldn’t help myself. I had to yell. Real…



596. Perestroika and Democracy in Russia: Illusions and Reality By Helen Shelestiuk
     The problems touched upon in this article concern the logic of the development of socialism, the crisis of the Soviet society in the former USSR, the estimation of the developed socialism in the 1970s-1980s and Gorbachev’s perestroika, the problem of Stalinism.At the turn between the 1970s and 1980s the situation for the USSR on the world arena changed for the worse. It was the time of cold war aggravation, taking the form of arms escalation and bitter ideological warfare. Whereas in the forme…



597. Plato to Bushco
     The Neoplatonic Hierarchy: The twentieth century has seen a lot of mega-corporate and bureaucratic growth. The old top-down or Platonic hierarchy form of control has been exposed to the extent that Harvard Business Journal has recommended corporate paranoia and detailed the ‘Nut Island Effect’ wherein Empires of inefficiency abound. There are alternative forms of organizational design which have also shown promise and keeping the decision-making near to where the results are expected seems to b…



598. A Workable Alternative to Term Limits
     The end of another election once again brings into focus the problem of Washington politicians raising money and running for re-election as soon as they get into office. Many citizens and various government-accountability advocacy groups have done little more than complain from time to time. However, some of them, along with many members of the media, have been pushing for term limits as a solution. But is that really the solution we need? Even with term limits, we would still be left with the s…



599. Who Really Runs the U.S. Government Today
     On November 22, 1963 the United States of America was taken over by a powerful group of individuals that included a number of CIA special team operatives, some employees and officials of the government and members of the Mafia. They did this by killing President John F. Kennedy and putting their man, Lyndon Baines Johnson, in the White House. The group included FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Mafia Boss Carlos Marcello and Mafia Banker Meyer Lansky. Although these men are dead today their position…



600. New Fuel Economy Rules on the Big Vehicles
     The George Bush administration is expected to complete its revision of fuel economy rules for pickup trucks, minivans and most sport utility vehicles next week, implementing a new system that would seek better gas mileage. All automakers would have to comply with the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) system by 2011, the most significant change to the program in three decades.
