876. Doorstops and Paperweights By Terry Mitchell
     Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, has come up with what he believes is a brilliant idea. He thinks the FCC should have to the power to hold cable and satellite channels to the same decency standards as over-the-air broadcasters. Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Stevens' counterpart in the House, agrees. Each plans to propose bills to that end in his respective house of the U.S. Congress. Many of their colleagues, eager to always be viewed as tough on indecency, are r…

     United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA), one of the most powerful militant organizations operating in the northeast region is in the limelight again but this time for a better reason. Attempts to initiate talks with the center and the group are in progress. The group was established in 1979 by Paresh Baruah along with his associates. The group aims to establish a Sovereign Socialist Assam.In the latest developments the renowned Assamese writer Indira Goswami met PM Manmohan Singh on November 1…



878. We Need to Investigate; Democrats Calling for Independent Katrina Truth By Lance Winslow
     The Democrats are calling for an Independent Investigation of the response to Hurricane Katrina. I fully agree that we should investigate these Democratic Senators who are standing behind the fog of war and the force multiplier of the net-centric political game. While they use the weather as an excuse to tear down the country, play the blame game and attack their fellow opposition party. It is sickening that in the haste for headlines and political one ups-man-ship that the Democrats would use…



879. Issue of NATO Enlargement in American-European Relations By Patrick Hume
     NATO enlargement is doubtless one of the most important issues in NATO-USA relations and in attitude of American politics towards this organization. Therefore, in dealing with American-European relations within NATO, it is impossible to question the issue of enlargement of this alliance.NATO enlargement towards Central and Eastern European states was originally the major project in seconding NATO’s viability. The purpose of the first enlargement round was regarded by the USA in preservation of…



880. National Security; College Campuses By Lance Winslow
     I have witnessed a new era of security in the US. It is by far more prevalent than ever before. All dutied personnel and former officers of law enforcement are on alert. This is good. However we should not blow our wad too fast here. Remember International Terrorist acts are a waiting game. They learn the defenses and then figure out the system and then attack like an insider. There are holes closing fast on their efforts. But with each new leak fixed in the dam, there are new areas of…



881. Federal Trade Commission Franchising Website Needs Updating By Lance Winslow
     Many times our government regulatory over embellish problems in the market place and misrepresent the true picture of fraud involved. Often this is done to put fear into consumers and justify their need. Truly very little government is actually needed at all. Any studier of government would agree.I would like to advise the Federal Trade Commission that their “Consumer Guide to Franchising” section of their website needs up dating, as some of the information there is misleading and a misreprese…



882. Mother Russia and Poland By Robert Baird
     When Boris Yeltsin spoke about an experiment that 'they' wrought upon his Russian 'brethren' on June 1st, 1991; did anyone ask who THEY were? Here is what he said:"Our country has not been lucky. Indeed, it was decided to carry out this Marxist experiment on us -… Instead of some country in Africa, they began this experiment with us."MOTHER RUSSIA AND THE BASILIDAE:The creation of Divine Kings as outreaches for inner sanctum elites who controlled Rome and its Empire that grew every time it sup…

884. Confession of a King By Robert Baird
     Rufus King: (Said to be the fifth most important person in the founding of America by another researcher.)I have also presented a great deal of possibility-thinking in regards to the elite families and their noble lineages or genetic manipulations including the Merovingians that include the likes of the Randolphs and Churchills. This is an incorporation of special people into their bloodlines beyond what Gardner documents in Genesis of the Grail Kings. Lord Mountbatten may have known what I su…



885. Bush and Kerry Differ on Immigration Policies By Victor Motak
     Up until the final debate at Arizona State University, the issue of immigration had not been much discussed. Both presidential candidates know very well that illegal immigration is a hot button topic in our country, and each man is now trying to use it to his political advantage. Since the eighties the Democratic Party has, in general, supported immigrants and has been for fair and just immigration laws.However, there are those members of the party who claim that the presence of millions of …



886. Supreme Court Nominee Alito on Homosexuality By Lance Winslow
     When Samuel Alito was young he organized students in college to fight sodomy laws because it was an invasion of privacy. He felt that what people do on their own time is their own business and thought that people who had a problem with this were forcing their will on others rights and trampling their freedom of choice.One group at a nearby college put out some pamphlets, which had titles like; “Am I Gay?” and “I think I am gay?” and “Don’t be Homophobic, learn the facts.” Then these pamphlets …



887. Bush and Iraq – A Cowboy For Our Times By Terry Hull
     Is George W. Bush the smartest person to ever set up shop in the Oval Office? Probably not. Is it true, as it sometimes seems, that he’s just making this stuff up as he goes along? Maybe so. But is it also possible that a cowboy president with more audacity than diplomacy, more bravura than brilliance, is just what we needed at this moment in history?Iraqi electoral officials confirmed today that Iraqis by an overwhelming majority have adopted a constitution. The constitution formally est…



888. Man Made Hurricanes and Government Conspiracy? By Pat Henry
     Many have suspected that President Bush's slow response to offering aid to the Katrina victims in New Orleans, was due to the fact that the majority of voters were lower class African Americans that did not vote for him.Lets look at the results. 2000 Election Year Results County: Orleans Popular Vote - Democratic (Gore): 137,630 Popular Vote - Republican (G. W. Bush): 39,404 Popular Vote - Independent: 3,025 Popular Vote - All Other Parties: 1,162 Percent Democratic Vote (Gore): 76 Percent Re…



889. Ifs and VATs of Taxation in Macedonia - Should VAT be Applied in Macedonia? By Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.
     To be justified, taxes should satisfy a few conditions:Above all, they should encourage economic activity by providing incentives to save and to invest. Savings - transformed into investments- enhance productivity and growth of the economy as a whole.A tax should be simple - to administer and to comply with. It should be "fair" (progressive, in professional lingo) - although no one seems to agree on what this means.At best, it should replace other taxes, whose compliance with the above conditi…



890. Gun Control? How About Crime Control Instead? By Bruce Schwartz
     The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees every American the right to bear arms. Has any law ever been so ambiguous? What are arms? What does it mean to bear them? At least with the first amendment we know exactly where we stand: Freedom of speech. It couldn't be any clearer. But, the right to bear arms leaves the second amendment open to different interpretations. We need gun permits to carry a concealed weapon. Do we need knife permits? No. Yet both can, and often do, cause de…



891. Statists and Total Dependency By Charles Stone
     Americans have always seen themselves as independent and self-sufficient. The spirit of this nation has fostered the view that any American, willing to work hard and take some risk, could strive to achieve any future he wanted, including the Presidency of the United States. It's a tantalizing picture but if it did ever exist, it is rapidly fading. We have gone from the greatest creditor nation to the greatest debtor nation. We have gone from superpower to supplicant. We are deteriorating from …



892. How We Know the Morons in Washington Hate Us: The MedicareRx Plan By John T Jones, Ph.D.
     Utterly confused by the MedicareRx Plan?Who isn’t?As a public service to Idaho potential participants, our public television station broadcast a program to clear everything up. The host was as confused as I am, but she intended to get everything right in our minds. Two state officials were her experts. One knew how much the new plan was going to cost the State of Idaho. The other knew how the plan worked and how it didn’t work. We were invited to call in with our questions.Well, the call-in pa…



893. Two Party Madness
     Mathematics suggests that a two party political system should be twice as good as a one party system. The reality is multiplication. One times one = two. A couple, dancing as one. Republicrats and Democans in a blurring identity crisis. The disenfranchised sit out this dance and pray for miracles. We ignore a simple and obvious political solution and exit from the two party merry- go- round. Let the disenfranchised vote for no other than third party candidates for the next twenty years, or how…



894. FTC Fixing SPAM? By Lance Winslow
     Is the Federal Trade Commission really stopping SPAM? Is the FTC and all of our tax dollars doing any good reducing SPAM? Why do we even bother to pretend? Did the FTC assume that its publicity alone would scare the spammers into quitting? The FTC is quite arrogant in that case. They spent over a year having meetings trying to define what SPAM actually was; then when we ask for a progress report as the SPAM had increased they say: “We are working on it, we need to redefine SPAM.” Why? Well so …



895. Globalization By Lance Winslow
     Often we see protests at the sites of global leader gatherings. Some complain Globalization is bad, that a one world currency is evil and that there is a huge conspiracy a foot to control all of mankind. Yet, these same folks often fail to see the incredible advantages to trade and quality of life that a one-world scenario can provide. They fail to understand the issues of free trade and what we can do for the third world. Before you buy into the anti one world theme and do your family name th…



896. Politicians Are Like Car Sales People By Jane Mark
     Well, another election has come and gone in the US and no matter which way you voted there are some important marketing lessons to learn.First, you need to put aside the campaign rhetoric and focus on the strategy and tactics and there are a number of clear winners for both sides.The Dems and the GOPOn the Republican side. The tactic to put the question of Gay Marriage as a referendum in 11 battleground states was a master stroke. Get people to vote on the small issue and they will follow suit…



897. Abuse of Democracy in the Philippines By Ron Jara
     The democrat move to impeach President Arroyo is an abuse of democracy. It shows political immaturity and a dangerous shift of priorities of our Congress and Senate from real issues, like the social welfare, destruction of the environment, low funding for education, and other important and urgent matters.Perhaps the media is partially responsible. Most news services cover the impeachment proceedings, and many have expressed their dismay at the Congress's misuse of political power as well as at…



898. STV: Making Every Voter Matter
     Starting in 2007, local elections in Scotland will be held for the first time under the single transferable vote (STV) system. The principal of STV is simple. A person may win an election in first past the post (FPTP) elections with a small actual share of the vote. For example, if there were five candidates standing in a FPTP election, the break down could be like the one below: Candidate one (duly elected): 500 votes (26.66%) Candidate two: 499 votes (26.60%) Candidate three: 450 votes (23.99%…



899. Video Game Censorship Here to Stay? Unlikely.
     Video game censorship is a hot topic amongst gamers, those who purchase games, and those who wish to curtail the rise in violent video games. A recent wave of legislation has placed this topic front and center in the video gaming industry. Many states are banning offensive games; some countries are even preventing the sale of x-rated video games. Although legislators have good intentions when it comes to controlling the substance kids see on the game screen, it's still hotly contested whether ce…



900. Computer Cyber virus attack from hackers By Lance Winslow
     Recently the CIA staged a practice simulation of a cyber attack used to take down the Internet. The simulated attack was called “Silent Horizons” and they learned quite a bit about what could happen if we fail to protect the flow of information. Now before you say no one could bring down the entire Internet. You are sadly mistaken, as we created it and mankind has those amongst us with the tools and brains to bring it all crashing down. I recommend you read up on the CIA report after it comes…
