851. HOWARD DEAN'S BIG FAT MOUTH
     This article is found @www.the-tribulation-network.comHOWARD DEAN’S BIG FAT MOUTH By Doug Krieger“The only time I open my mouth is when I exchange feet . . . man, we’ve gone from Deep Throat to Dean’s throat in the space of one week!”These and other hilarious comments have been made of the hysterical doctor from Vermont of late who, as DNC Chairman, is determined to make wedge politics a thing of the present Democratic Party in its attempt to widen the already polarized American electorate.When …



852. Que Brasil � esse que estamos vivendo?
     Este é o quadro do Brasil que nós, os Brasileiros estamos cultivando ao longo de dezenas de anos. Foram a base de dezena de anos que somente torcíamos o nariz para as atrocidades contra nossa privacidade, ao nosso dinheiro e principalmente ao nosso patrimônio.O Brasileiro, como se diz, que devido a centenas de anos de colônia, mais governos pós republica, umas 2 ditaduras entre outras coisas... Alguns dizem que é culpa dos militares, FMI etc.A culpa é NOSSA!Eu me vejo como culpado, porque de uma…



853. Social Security Rant By Hank Bohannon
     As the Baby Boomer Generation continue to get older, one of the hot topics will continue to be Social Security. Critics claim that Social Security is going bankrupt, and that it needs to be privatized as soon as possible, or people will lose their benefits. This rant examines if Social Security needs to be privatized, and if it is actually going broke.Thanks to various search engines, and thanks to the Information Superhighway, there is much data to suggest that Social Security—even at the g…



854. Government Credit Card Abuse By Lance Winslow
     Veterans Affairs Employees using government credit cards on personal items? Yes it is true and it is happening at the DOD, Air Force, Navy. There have been stories of this happening at local sheriff’s offices. At the US Department of Labor as well as local school districts. There was a recent report of widespread abuse at the DOI as too. Where is all this money spent?Well everywhere you can spend money: at Casinos, Nude Bars, Car Washes, extra travel, etc. It seems to be at every level of gov…



855. Steel Tubing Tariffs Prove that NAFTA Still Needs Work By Kaitlin Carruth
     The North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented on January 1, 1994. An extension of the previous Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement of 1989, NAFTA is the second largest free trade area in the world. The agreement intends to limit restrictions on trade in many industries and phase out tariffs in a period of 14 years. While NAFTA has created greater trade in North America, there still are concerns on how well the trade agreement is accomplishing its goal of deregulation. These concerns …



856. Do you blindly trust the MRF?
     Do you blindly trust the MRF? by FastFred Would you trust Congress if 75% of the body was appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress while the people and interest groups elected the other 25%? Would Congress serve their electors or the voiceless citizens? How would you like it if your motorcycle rights organization was governed under a similar structure? The MRF is governed in this manner. Only six of the MRF's board members are currently elected by members, SSMROs, or state reps. R…



857. Mother Nature is Full of Patterns and Cycles By Lance Winslow
     Everywhere you look in Mother Nature we are reminded of symmetry, patterns and cycles. As scientists and theorists study patterns, design, chaos, complexity they often turn to nature for examples and there is plenty of examples in nature too. The stripes on a zebra, patterns on a butterfly, spider webs, leafs on a tree, scales on a fish, seashells, brain waves, muscle structure, texture of granite, spider webs, Earth cycles, waves on the ocean, wind flow, clouds in the sky, Rainbows, Solar Sys…



858. Army recovers terrorists’ bodies from avalanche-hit areas in South Kashmir By Lalith Ninan
     As the death toll in the avalanche-hit Jammu and Kashmir is increasing day by day, the security forces have recovered the bodies of few terrorists who had taken shelter in the foothills of Pir Panjal mountain ranges to escape the clutches of security forces. Little did these terrorists know that they wouldn’t be able to escape Nature’s fury even if they hide from the army.These terrorists were also buried alive with hundreds of other civilians in the avalanches that stuck in a big way in three…



859. National Security and the Press Part Two – The Press as Watchdog By Teve Torbes
     B. The Press As WatchdogMany constitutional scholars consider the point of carving out constitutional protection for press freedom to be to guarantee that the press is able to effectively question and challenge government policies and actions. The proper role of the press in relation to government, according to this view, is as watchdog: journalists serve an important function in maintaining both the honesty and effectiveness of government. Roy S. Gutterman, Note, Chilled Bananas: Why Newsgat…



860. Thinking on Energy By Lance Winslow
     Regarding the de-regulation of energy, this is not such a bad idea really; even the commoditizing of energy is not such a bad idea. This can be done correctly and can assist businesses in judging costs and allow entrepreneurs to understand their costs and turn variable costs into fixed costs meaning more investment in R and D, co-generation, and larger capital expenditures for manufacturing, knowing things will be okay. We see a huge problem with factories, which switched to Natural Gas to sav…



861. Colts’ Stadium Short on Horse Sense By Kurt St. Angelo
     The predominant discussion in the Indianapolis media over the proposed $500 million Colts stadium is how to fund it, not over the wisdom and propriety of taxpayers going into debt to build it.Apparently the leaders of both major political parties in Indiana have signed off on the concept, including a poor building design, and are content to confine their discussion to who’s picking up the tab.Come hell or high water on White River, Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson has vowed not to lose the Col…



862. Cheney: Accidental Shooting Or...
     One thing is certain. He has lied. He claimed to have been at 90 feet when he fired his weapon. Ballistics would reveal that only a few BBs would have penetrated the victim (VERY shallow penetration= minor injuries). By the severity of the wounds you can reliably figure that Cheney was from 15-18 feet from the victim when he shot this man in the woods. This would mean that Cheney perhaps tripped and misfired his weapon- OR, if you want to go toward a more sinister route, he may have intended to …



863. Wartime Prisoners and the Will to Fight; War is Hell, Let’s Win Alright? By Lance Winslow
     We learned some lessons in these last few wars. For instance: some of Saddam’s Iraqi army personal may have given up or volunteered to give up to slow us down. Prisoners take time to handle and resources to collect. Some are now saying we should not have spared them. He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. The only thing relevant of the Geneva Convention rules for modern warfare in collecting and giving back prisoners, is that you have guaranteed future wars as those prisoners…



864. Plastics In Our Nations Dumps and Landfills By Lance Winslow
     Long Term Environmental Effect of Plastics, Composites and Other Materials on Underground Water Supplies through Leaching and Decay.Today we see old airliners lined up in the desert, which are made of aluminum for the most part. We know what these aircraft are made of and we also see the scrap value of aluminum. So much of them will eventually be recycled in the future. We know that when some composites burn they will unleash cyanide gas when they burn. What can we expect from them when they s…



865. Thanks
     I'd like to personally thank a number of people for the screwed up mess the country is in today.First of all, I'd like to thank President Bush, who pursued a war while ignoring intelligence that contradicted his beliefs, resulting in the very quagmire I predicted months ago.Next, I'd like to thank his lunatic defense secretary, who continues to downplay the insurgent attacks against American troops as merely the handiwork of bandits and supporters of Saddam. His ability to deny truth that's as p…



866. Cops Want To Increase Marijuana Punishments? By Eric Nielsen
     Leave it to the Columbia City Police Officers Association in Missouri to try to turn back and increase punishments for marijuana, against the will of the voters. Six months ago the voters in Columbia City elected to decrease punishments for marijuana. Now, the police officers are trying to repeal it.Students led the drive for the initiative that passed, and allows students to retain federal student aid by referring all marijuana arrests to a city court instead of to the Feds. Did you know you …



867. Active Citizenship Goal Delayed by Lack of E-democracy Vision By Eric Sutherland
     People and e-democracy The idea of e-democracy was supposed to be that people could influence the decisions affecting them by using new technology to make their voices heard. This would create “active citizens” who would take a greater part in their local communities, leading to more consensus and harmony all round. Great idea, but in practice the idea is still very much an ideal.Reflection! without technology Did you ever try to find a book in Foyles bookshop in the days when they displayed t…



868. Protocols of Sion #2
     The Protocol plan 'will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it.' (Protocol 1) {Gardner's 1999 book and those of Barrett and the Blandford Publishers would seem to make it no longer 'invisible'!}-'Wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains.' (Protocol 2)-'(The) minds (of the masses) must be diverted toward industry and trade. Thus, all the nations will be swallowed up in the pursuit of gain and.. .will …



869. An Environmental Voting Guide for US State Elections By Mark Jeantheau
     In these times when states are suffering extreme downward pressure on budgets and spending, how is our environment making out? Did it suffer cuts right along with the Program to Assist Millionaires Become Billionaires? Are important environmental projects being dropped from the budget along with luxury items like the statehouse's new Gold-Plated Enforcement Gavel?And why is the issue of environmental protection relevant at the state level? Doesn't the US Environmental Protection Agency handle …



870. How Futuristic Is Anarchy As A Way To Organize The State (I) By Angelique Van Engelen
     When organising a country or a group of people in need of structuring, people tend to automatically sidestep ideologies that do not take authority imposed from above for granted. Anarchists and other proponents of alternative rule almost by definition are seen as destructive elements in a society. Yet old time and modern thinkers on the subject might have some viable and decent ideas for future state organisation.The unwieldy mess called the internet gives rise to many new thoughts and also ca…



871. Clearing Land Mine Fields from the Air By Lance Winslow
     You know we have sent many, many army tanks with protruded devices used for minesweeping to the Middle East from the Logistics Base in our country. They are assigned to removing the left over land mines of past wars. Each year hundreds of thousands lose their lives and limbs to these past war buried relics. The army tanks which remove these devices have not really been redesigned since the second WW, hardly any real improvements in their designs. But it has occurred to me that you can sweep th…



872. When A Chickenhawk Squawks
     I admit it, I don't like Karl Rove and almost everything that comes out of his cynical little mouth. If he is the brains behind the Republican party operation they're headed off of a steep political cliff. With that being said, I do admire his chutzpah, unapologetically saying things as inane as he does,'Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding fo…



873. The World Bank and the Spread of the American Empire
     The World Bank and the Spread of the American Empire By Dene McGriffI must confess to being a “cog” as in the “cog” in a machine. Did I know I was? Nope, but I have gradually come to see that I was a “cog” in the building of the American Global Empire. Please don’t get mad at me for my confessions, for I certainly didn’t realize it at the time. In fact, most of us are oblivious to what is really going on around us. I certainly was, but the more I look into my past, the more I realize my role – a…



874. Local Government Elections - The Great Unopposed
     Copyright 2006 Al Arnold 'My Beat' is Northwestern Wisconsin. I monitor the local government units in an eight county area. Mostly, I am concerned with the actions in the areas of land use, planning, zoning, building, economic development and private property rights. It is a rural area. How rural is it, you ask? The eight Wisconsin counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Burnett, Sawyer, Washburn, Barron and Rusk encompass 8493 square miles. The total population (2000 census) was 183,382. That w…



875. World Disasters and Opportunites for Unity By Lance Winslow
     Shaking Earth and flooding water are potential eventualities of living here on Earth. When we see our fellow man suffering we all feel the Global Empathy, as well as the volumous strength of character and energy of human intent. Disaster can strike anywhere and cause damages far worse than man made wars in the ongoing struggle of the species. Wars certain are unfortunate, as killing one’s own species does not make a lot of sense from a philosophical standpoint. But we know humans and political…
