Cal Thomas: Gore's cult of global alarmism
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Fear As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4). When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

True Peace
To the Editor:

Although peace has been the goal of mankind for thousands of years - and the desire for peace is never so great as it is at Christmas - it seems that our ability to find or establish peace continues to elude us.

Today, after the end of the Cold War, bloody hostilities continue on nearly every continent, reaching global proportions once again after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Pittsburgh. As Pete Seeger's well-known folk song from the '60s asked, "Where have all the flowers gone? ... When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"

True peace on every level - from international conflicts to our personal lives - has become more difficult than ever to achieve.

"And in Bethlehem today, children fear, yet still they play

While mothers cry and fathers pray for peace to come again.

And a round the weary world echoes the refrain:

'Christmas in Bethlehem, when shall true love reign?'

One day soon the Prince of Love, will return from skies above, and His pow'r shall overcome all pain and tears and war. Then shall songs of joy and praise ring out from shore to shore.

Christmas in Bethlehem, peace on Earth once more.

Christmas in Bethlehem, peace on Earth once more."

Grim past, dim future for Iraqi exiles in Syria
Saturday, December 15, 2007

Death of countless

Iraqi physicians, overseen by epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health, published a study last year in the British medical journal The Lancet. The study estimated that 655,000 more people than normal have died in Iraq since coalition forces invaded the country in March 2003. This is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech last December.
In a statement released on Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) criticized the Israeli closure and occupation of Palestinian land, which has left hospitals unable to treat the sick and injured, and has left farmers unable to work their land.
The Red Cross called on Israel to `lift the retaliatory measures which are paralyzing life in Gaza`, and to stop targeting the civilian population.
But it's those who sent them to war in the first place for whom the greatest chastisements and judgments of God are reserved those who caused the death of countless innocents, the making of scores of widows and orphans, the breaking of hearts and bodies, those whose hands are red with the blood of those they've caused to die through sanctions, disease, malnutrition, bombs, and other weapons of war.

All wars are evil! Some wars are necessary, but all wars are evil.
Invasions of other lands and “nation building” elsewhere, even to preserve access to oil, or to intrude in civil wars in Asia or anywhere else, do not qualify as “justifiable wars.” Not for the human beings who suffer and die there." Keith Kreitman

Hypocritical friendship


Editor,


King George departed even before the tumult had died. His helicopter carried him away over the horizon, just as his trusty steed carries the cowboy into the sunset at the end of the movie. At that moment, the speeches in the assembly hall were still going ahead at full blast. Even if Bush wanted to, could he do anything? Is he capable of putting pressure on Israel, in the face of vigorous opposition from the pro-Israel lobby, and especially from the Christian-Evangelist public, to which he himself belongs? Bush is a hypocrite pretending to be everybody’s friend and nobody’s enemy, when in their hearts they know exactly where they stand, and which way they’ll go when the showdown comes, as many Republican leaders have. May God damn it for its subtle treacherous “neutrality” with the world--pretending to be a friend of both God and the world at the same time.

The power of Arab oil
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77Q [at] aol.com )
Monday Dec 10th, 2007



Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam said the visit, the veteran leader's first to France since 1973, would celebrate "the new relations" between the two countries. The invitation from Paris came after the release of Bulgarian medics imprisoned in Libya on charges of infecting children with HIV/AIDS.


Sarkozy visited Tripoli immediately afterward, overseeing the signing of arms sales and an accord to build a nuclear plant for water desalination, and underscoring Libya's return to respectability after years of isolation.
"Libya is not a small insignificant country. A major player on the oil market, at the crossroads between the Arab and African world, threatened by the advance of Islamism, Tripoli plays a vital role for stability in a part of the world where we have vital interests," the newspaper said. "There is no shame in recognizing that and defending our interests with realism," it added.
The power of Arab oil in contrast to the oil-starved nations of the capitalistic West! The U.S. alone, though it has only eight percent of the world's population, uses 40% of the world's oil, and her rate of use is increasing by nearly ten percent a year, much of which she imports from the Arabs. Europe, too, imports over two-thirds of her oil from the Arabs and uses a large portion of the world's total, and the under-developed Arab states are absolutely oil rich! In fact, Arab oil is making the Arabs one of the richest and most powerful forces on Earth with her hands throttling the throat of an oil-thirsty world!

Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community
Ted Rudow III,MA (Tedr77@aol.com)

"The central committee of Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community, which has in the past expressed unease over Ahmadinejad's stance on the Holocaust, added its voice to the condemnation of his hostile reception in New York, Iranian Jews strongly condemn such impoliteness and willfulness, as such behavior has targeted Iran's president who legally represents Iranians," it said in a statement.


On the another hand, AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, describes itself as the most important organization affecting the U.S. relationship with Israel. With a budget of $65 million, and membership now standing at over 100,000, it is no wonder that congressional staffers consider it one of the most powerful and effective lobbies on Capitol Hill. Including AIPAC's support for U.S. military aid to Israel, which amounts to over $3 billion per year.

"It is widely acknowledged that the reps and senators are ticked at AIPAC, and their hostility seems to be growing these days. With upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from the Israel Lobby, the Democratic congressmen are not free to respond to their antiwar base." John Walsh. Some Muslims see a new Crusade in the making, waged jointly by the Jewish Israelis and the Christian Americans.

Letters to the editor

Bush’s totalitarian undercurrents is obvious


Editor,


“Pinochet, when he was overthrowing the Democratic government of Chile, told Chilean citizens that there was going to be a terrible terrorist attack, with armed insurgents. Now there were real insurgents, there was a real threat, but then he produces what he called Plan Z, which were fake papers claiming that these terrorists were going to assassinate all these military leaders at once,” Naomi Wolf said.


Most Americans reject outright any comparisons of post-9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile. Instead they turn to Bush, as a compromise candidate, a little more palatable neo-fascist. In other words, they knew they had in Bush the man that he is, he would go to military rule. He’s a great pretender, a real ham actor, and he’s making the public think he’s a great humanitarian and a great democratic leader protecting the people. Which is the opposite of what he is.

John R. Bolton: The flaws in the NIE's 'key judgments' on Iran

Friday, December 7, 2007

Ike

The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to be a major factor in the tense international negotiations aimed at getting Iran to halt its nuclear energy program. Concerns about Iran were raised sharply after President Bush had suggested in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War III,and Vice President Dick Cheney promised serious consequences if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program. Finally, it should be noted that those who benefit from war or the threat of war are many more than just the old military-industrial complex that former President Eisenhower warned about. Indeed, remember that most of the uniformed military opposed the attack on Iraq. It was pro-war neocon civilians who took over Pentagon policymaking positions. It's the same drumbeat to war that Ike warned about!

Although Lattins book does contain some sound research and factual information, it is laced with inaccuracies, misconceptions and erroneous conclusions lacking a factual basenot to mention, sketchy research. I want to state that after reading the reviews,"Jesus Freaks" about Ricky Rodriguez suicide and the killing a innocent woman, I was taken back by outright lies and Lattin misconstrued representation of The Family, as well as by the false testimonies by ex-members, and other "officials". In my opinion, this ranks with the worst in "yellow journalism". My grandfather, Phil Hindley, was the city editor for the San Francisco Examiner, would roll in his grave. I also find it nearly unbelievable that Don Lattin will stoop to such low levels to blame Karen Zerby for what happened. I can personally affirm that The Family is sincerely dedicated to helping others.

Ike warned of militarists

A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold, contradicting an assessment two years ago that Tehran was working inexorably toward building a bomb.

The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to be a major factor in the tense international negotiations aimed at getting Iran to halt its nuclear energy program. Concerns about Iran were raised sharply after President Bush had suggested in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to “World War III,” and Vice President Dick Cheney promised “serious consequences” if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program.

Finally, it should be noted that those who benefit from war or the threat of war are many more than just the old military-industrial complex that former President Eisenhower warned about.

Indeed, remember that most of the uniformed military opposed the attack on Iraq. It was pro-war neocon civilians who took over Pentagon policymaking positions. It’s the same drumbeat to war that Ike warned about!

"Syria agrees to attend regional peace summit at Annapolis"
November 26, 2007

The United States is like Israel, and Israel is like the United States. Like Israel, the US also sees the world through an Old Testament perspective, with itself, rather than God, as the protector of physical Israel. It too believes in "an eye for an eye," or many eyes for each American eye, and sees those who would challenge it and its partner Israel as the enemies of God.
So Israel and the US are birds of a feather that flock together, and they consider themselves eagles while many other nations of the world see them as vultures.

Many places today have gotten to where they have just about completely elimInated Jesus from Christmas. All it is a tree and decorations and Santa Claus and presents and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells!
In other words, to take Christ out of Christmas. In some cities, all you ever see are signs of "Xmas Holidays", "Xmas Sale!", "Xmas Shopping!", "Xmas, Xmas, Xmas!" They wouldn't think of putting up "Christmas"--that's the name of Jesus Christ!
And of course, they've got a new god called Santa Claus--who is really the big department store! One of the horrible horrors of it is, that when they teach their children about Santa Claus, and then they start teaching them about Jesus--the truth and the real story and meaning of Christmas--the poor kids think, "Oh, this is just another stupid idiotic fairly tale like the one you told me about Santa Claus!"

Editorial: Victory for science



November 27, 2007
By Editorial Board

"Stem cell research has arrived at a new crossroads. While relevant in the U.S. to research institutions such as Stanford, the end of the ethical debate is secondary to the new scientific potential of stem cell research. Nuclear reprogramming will allow scientists to easily furbish stem cells, which could result in organ replacements without the fear of rejection and the cure to such diseases as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Scientists, now able to focus on their specialty, may find another debate on their hands: who should receive federal funding to advance this highly promising new generation of stem cell research? Stanford, with its resources and human capital, appears well poised and as likely a recipient as any."

What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense).Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child?
A mass massacre of babies is going on in the U.S. today, not to mention Europe, the Soviet Union and many other places. One-and-a-half million abortions a year are performed in the U.S. alone, and it's estimated that one out of every four pregnancies ends in abortion! What a horrible slaughter!!
I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying "Save the Babies," have you? I've seen "Stop the Killings!" and things like that. They're always saying, "Save the Whales," "Save the Otters," "Save the Alligators," "Save the Wolves," and they're not even saving their own babies--human beings!
The Americans alone are now killing more babies every year than have been killed in all their wars that they have ever fought! What's the difference between killing babies before they're born or killing them after they are born. The almanac says that from the American Revolutionary War to the present, only 1.2 million Americans have died in battle, and they're killing 1.5 million babies every year!--Imagine!

Behold the black horse

“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, ‘Come and see.’ And I beheld, and to a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ‘A measure of wheat for a penny; and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine’” (Revelation 6:5-6 KJV.).

This black horse’s rider with the pair of balances in his hand symbolizes the rich capitalists who have a major impact on world conditions through their manipulation of national economies. Only one other verse in the Bible pictures a man with balances or scales: “The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud” (Hosea 12:7 NIV).

Another prophet, Amos, also said the merchants — the wealthy capitalists of his day who were robbing the poor instead of helping them — “set forth wheat, making the ephah [unit of measure] small, and the shekel [price] great and falsifying the balances by deceit ... that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail” (Amos 8:4-6 KJV).

The black horse, then, represents famine and poverty perpetrated by the rich who refuse to share with those in need. Oil and wine, throughout the Scriptures, symbolize abundance or luxury.

The fact that the oil and wine were “hurt not” indicates a situation where wealth and luxury exist alongside famine and poverty — and the gulf between rich and poor is only growing.

Making monkeys out of us?

There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed. Therefore it’s a faith, therefore it’s a religion! So they’re teaching a new compulsory religion in today’s hallowed halls of higher learning. Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that “the belief — note the emphasis on belief — in natural selection — evolution — must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.

Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.

There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.

Once I was a tadpole long and thin, then I was a baboon with my tail tucked in, then I was a monkey in a tropical tree and now I am a professor with a college degree. Did Charley make a monkey out of you?

Addiction
It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it! Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily?"

Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the world's attention.
But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren't enough to make a difference. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don't expect a lot of publicity to be given to this and then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed; but that's the way it goes for true prophets.

Listen to true prophets

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said on a visit to Tehran on Monday that the “empire of the dollar is crashing,” one day after his country and anti-U.S. ally Iran advocated action over the weakening U.S. currency during an OPEC summit in Riyadh. Chávez, who on Saturday said oil prices could double to $200 per barrel if the U.S. attacked Iran over its disputed atomic ambitions, spoke to reporters after talks with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Tehran.

Santa, take a year off

Abstract:
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving where stores put on massive sales, has to be the most frustrating "national holiday" there is in this country.

Moms and dads will be elbowing other parents to get toys for their children. Crazy college students will be pulling all-nighters for brand new high-definition plasma televisions....

Although peace has been the goal of mankind for thousands of years -- and the desire for peace is never so great as it is at Christmas -- it seems that our ability to find or establish peace continues to elude us.

Today, after the end of the Cold War, bloody hostilities continue on nearly every continent, reaching global proportions once again after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Pittsburgh. As Pete Seeger's well-known folk song from the '60s asked, "Where have all the flowers gone? When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"

True peace on every level -- from international conflicts to our personal lives -- has become more difficult than ever to achieve.

Five years after the invasion of Iraq, like most Americans, I see the images of violence and bloodshed. Every picture is horrifying -- and the suffering is real. Amid all this violence, I know Americans ask the question: Is the sacrifice worth it, George Bush?

And again the answer is no!

American presidents can be a very bloodthirsty lot, as well as terrific liars when it comes to getting their way, while they criticize other world leaders who commit similar crimes. They have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them.

Levy probes Pakistan





French journalist discusses involvement in Pearl’s death

November 16, 2007
By Kamil Dada French journalist and philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, author of “Who Killed Daniel Pearl?” spoke at Kresge Auditorium last night for the second annual Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture. Levy spoke of his personal investigation into Pearl’s Feb. 1, 2002 murder in Pakistan, as well as the changing role of politics and religion in the current global arena.


“The majority of Pakistanis and Arabs I have met in the U.S. do not have any problems with democracy and the idea of change,” Levy added. “It is only those who hold irrational views that I have a problem with. It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity, and I strongly hope that it does not encourage race-related crimes.”A number of attendees spoke appreciatively of the intellectual nature of Levy’s lecture, which offered a different perspective on terrorism"

The US is reviewing its aid to Pakistan - about $10 billion in overt funding since 2001. Yet the Bush administration may push for continuing military aid for the Pakistani Army's counterinsurgency operations, says analyst Steve Coll of the New America Foundation. President Bush is nothing but the front man for the rich to keep control. He started out as their puppet, but puppets have a funny way of getting out of hand. So something very strange is happening in the world right now! This is why so many fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power. The rich are clever organizers who know how to engineer a military coup as the US did in Chile, Argentina, Central America and Venezuela.

Evolution:new faith?

Evolution:new faith?by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Nov 14th, 2007 10:19 AM
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed, therefore it's a faith, therefore it's a religion! So they're teaching a new compulsory religion in today's hallowed halls of higher learning.


Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that "the belief (note the emphasis on belief) in natural selection (evolution) must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.
Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.

Coping with the aftermath of war

Abstract: After Romeo Horvath returned from military service in Iraq, he wasn't quite the same. "I was drinking heavily and isolating myself," he said. After months of suffering, Horvath sought counseling from Veterans Affairs and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a condition that affects approximately 11 percent of returning veterans, said Dr....

Ted Rudow III,MA The rise in psychological trauma associated with the war in Iraq should not surprise experts. The extent of wartime trauma is directly proportional to the type of warfare fought and the experiences encountered. Studies of Vietnam veterans show that between 26 and 31 percent have experienced PTSD. This rate is understandable given that the Vietnam War combat environment included both guerilla and conventional warfare. It is arguable that the war in Iraq compares to the Vietnam War, as there is no safe place, no enemy lines, and threats surround the soldier on all sides. Situations that can contribute to the development of PTSD. Now soldier's who are suffered from PTSD and other mental illnesses are being send back to Iraq, after serving there!
I work as a volunteer Counselor at the VA Hospital in Menlo Park,CA for 17 years as amusician therapist. I work mostly with Vietnam Vets. War is the national creed of America. Like the neighborhood bully, they're proud of the fact that they can beat up anyone else, and they flaunt it in the media. See how this competitive war thing has been the final stages of every great civilization and empire.

"Livni rejects timetable for peace deal"
November 2, 2007

"By forbidding the cutting off of electricity, Attorney General Mazuz prevented Israel from arousing the anger of the entire world." But the collective punishment he didn't stop, the ever tightening siege of the Gaza Strip. The state of Israel prevents the entry of vital goods - from fuel to baby food and everything in between. No one is allowed in or out - neither student on their way to study nor terminal patients in urgent need of medical care. Today, 80 percent of Gazan's are under the poverty line - without money to buy what little the shops still have.
The American government can be amazingly hypocritical when it comes to promoting human rights. Human rights activists in the Middle East say they can't even use the word "democracy" anymore - it has become a dirty word because of what people have seen going on in Gaza. Maybe other nations would have a little more respect for the United States if they saw it promoting freedom and human rights and democracy among its allies.

There really is just one political party in the U.S. It simply has two separate branches and slightly different policies at times, but it's run by the same people behind the scenes. And the media basically all say the same thing.

Oh, there's a little window dressing of dissent allowed, a little disagreement that's tolerated, unless it goes too far. But with the media shaping people's opinions with such uniformity, there's not a lot of trouble with differing viewpoints.

If you do happen to differ from the vast robotic crowd, well, they just trust in peer pressure or economic pressure to bring you back.

Left Coast: Pakistan: The case for radical foreign policy



November 8, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe


"How to guarantee free and fair elections? It is often said that if an Islamic party wins an election, that’ll be the last election held. It’s a big problem, one that will require imagination and international cooperation to solve, and one that European institution-builders might be able to help us with.It is hard to imagine a less appealing thought than Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Egypt going down the path of Iran. But the Saudi, Pakistani, and Egyptian regimes will fall eventually, as all regimes do in the end. And it is better to prepare an alternative now, rather than leave a successively less appealing choice to each successive generation. "

Stu's Views: Obama's last chance



November 7, 2007
By Stuart Baimel

........Clinton has a commanding lead in the polls even after a mediocre performance in the most recent debate. Obama has yet to win the battle with Edwards to determine who is the best alternative to Clinton, something that he should have done months ago. Edwards had to vanquish Wesley Clark, Howard Dean and all the others before he could make it a two-man race with Kerry. There are still two months left before Iowa. Obama needs to come down from the clouds of hope and post-partisanship and assert himself as a real alternative to Clinton without tacking too far to the left as Edwards has."

Speaker talks peace in Palestine

Students participate in “die-in,” Peace Prize nominee speaks to capacity crowd

November 6, 2007
By Joanna Xu Enlarge

Sammy Abusrur Palestine talk tonight
Enlarge

Masaru Oka At the Intersection of Death’s roundabout yesterday, students participated in a silent “die-in” protest to recognize alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in Israael. Hanan Ashwari also spoke.

“Peace in Palestine is an imperative,” Hanan Ashwari told a packed Kresge Auditorium last night in a speech entitled “Palestine: Is Peace Possible?”
--In her speech, Ashwari expressed confidence that peace in Palestine would be possible with direct political action and genuine commitment from all international and Palestinian parties.However, Ashwari also outlined certain obstacles that would have to be overcome before peace talks could occur, the first of which was the Israeli occupation in Palestine.She criticized the transformation of Palestine into a “charity case rather than a case of self-determination and freedom.” She affirmed that the majority of Palestinians “have been protective of their fundamental rights and want to build a state based on democracy and human rights.”-----

Ted Rudow III,MA
The country whose warmongers daily slaughter or support the slaughter of innocents is more than deserving of such punishments and terror. These who strike fear daily into the hearts of poor, struggling third world nations, who have done nothing to ease the sufferings of the Palestinians, these deserve to have their own people, their own country, their own government, their own economy, hurt. And those who would sacrifice some of their own people to gain political or economic benefits are the most wicked of all.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are you who promote peace, who fight for peace, who strive to live the love and peace that He preached. Those who thirst for blood, the warmongers, are the curse.

"Today, many of the men who hope to be the next president - including all of the candidates with a significant chance of receiving the Republican nomination - have made unreasoning, unjustified terror the centerpiece of their campaigns. Consider, for a moment, the implications of the fact that Rudy Giuliani is taking foreign policy advice from Norman Podhoretz, who wants us to start bombing Iran "as soon as it is logistically possible."--
Paul Krugman
Politicians are expert liars, because they make their living by telling people what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. Otherwise, they wouldn't get elected-at least in the U.S. And once they do get elected, especially when they rise as far as the presidency, they just continue to lie-it becomes a habit with them.
Politics is an evil game in which all the players are vying for control. They don't care about the poor people who'll get hurt as long as they get what they want. Nothing they do is for honest and pure reasons. They'll tell the true tale of man's inhumanity to his fellow man, and all those who take part in such atrocities.

"Rice compares 'dangerous' Iran to cancer"
October 25, 2007

It is written, "Thou shalt not kill" and 'Thou shalt not bear false witness." The leaders of America are doing both. It is also written, 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house or anything that is thy neighbor's," or, as concerning this war, "thy neighbor's oil" - which the leaders of America also have their eyes upon. Of course, they know they have to be careful about this, so that there is not such an outcry from other nations. In their greed and lust for more power and control of the oil, they have perpetrated war.

Fear

As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4). When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

Earthquake rocks Bay Area





University responds to 5.6 magnitude quake; no damage reported on campus

October 31, 2007
By Nick Parker Stanford’s emergency management contingencies were activated just after 8 p.m. yesterday, when a 5.6 magnitude earthquake rocked the University and sent shock waves across campus. Officials were quick to reassure students last night that the situation was under control. Enlarge

Cristina Bautista A 5.6 magnitude earthquake shook the Bay Area shortly after 8 p.m. last night. The quake - the largest in the region since the 6.9 magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake killed more than 60 people in 1989 - originated near San Jose and sent shock waves rippling across campus as University officials quickly launched emergency management protocols. There was no damage reported on campus and only minor damage reported in San Jose.

Are you prepared, or have our own warnings to be ready for emergencies fallen on deaf ears? Don't put it off until you have more time. You'll never have more time in a day than you have right now, today--24 hours. Where the rub comes in is just how you choose to use that time.
You're not as prepared as you should have been or could have been if and when disaster strikes, you'll only have yourselves to blame.
You don't have to do a big earthquake prep push, although you can if you want to. Just do a little every week, surely and steadily buying little extra food, setting aside some jugs of water, getting some extra flashlights or camping gear or survival supplies, or spending a little time discussing some contingency plans. Do something, and keep doing something, and almost before you know it, you will be prepared!

A friend's choice: the lasting impact of abortion

Abstract:
If you were to get pregnant today, within 24 weeks you could feel your baby kick, watch your uterus expand and even go into labor.

And according to California state law, you could also obtain an abortion up to 24 weeks into your pregnancy.

I'm not going to tell you that a 24-week old fetus should be considered a human....

Ted Rudow III,MA What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense).Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child?
A mass massacre of babies is going on in the U.S. today, not to mention Europe, the Soviet Union and many other places. One-and-a-half million abortions a year are performed in the U.S. alone, and it's estimated that one out of every four pregnancies ends in abortion! What a horrible slaughter!!
I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying "Save the Babies," have you? I've seen "Stop the Killings!" and things like that. They're always saying, "Save the Whales," "Save the Otters," "Save the Alligators," "Save the Wolves," and they're not even saving their own babies--human beings!
The Americans alone are now killing more babies every year than have been killed in all their wars that they have ever fought! What's the difference between killing babies before they're born or killing them after they are born. The almanac says that from the American Revolutionary War to the present, only 1.2 million Americans have died in battle, and they're killing 1.5 million babies every year!--Imagine!

"Today, many of the men who hope to be the next president - including all of the candidates with a significant chance of receiving the Republican nomination -

--------------------
have made unreasoning, unjustified terror the centerpiece of their campaigns. Consider, for a moment, the implications of the fact that Rudy Giuliani is taking foreign policy advice from Norman Podhoretz, who wants us to start bombing Iran "as soon as it is logistically possible."--
Paul Krugman
Politicians are expert liars, because they make their living by telling people what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. Otherwise, they wouldn't get elected-at least in the U.S.(HA) And once they do get elected, especially when they rise as far as the presidency, they just continue to lie-it becomes a habit with them.
Politics is an evil game in which all the players are vying for control. They don't care about the poor people who'll get hurt as long as they get what they want. Nothing they do is for honest and pure reasons. They'll tell the true tale of man's inhumanity to his fellow man, and all those who take part in such atrocities.

The editorial
"America's policy in the Middle East ignores basic facts"
October 24, 2007

The more "democratic" another nation is, after all, the closer the rich and the powerful can work together, the greater the pickings and the booty available, and the less controls there are on their actions. The rich can grow richer and the poor can grow poorer because, after all, the rich think, it's the survival of the fittest.
American presidents can be a very bloodthirsty lot, as well as terrific liars when it comes to getting their way, while they criticize other world leaders who commit similar crimes. They have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them.

Trudy Rubin: On the brink of a blunder in Iran?
Friday, October 26, 2007

WWIII?

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice singled out Iran Wednesday as "perhaps the single greatest challenge" to US security but stressed that diplomacy was the preferred way to end its nuclear drive. President George W. Bush last week warned that a nuclear-armed Iran meant the threat of "World War III," and Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday spoke of "serious consequences" unless the Islamic Republic gives in. It is written, 'Thou shalt not kill' and 'Thou shalt not bear false witness.' The leaders of America are doing both, and most of them know this. It is also written, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house or anything that is thy neighbor's," ­ or as concerning this war, "thy neighbor's oil" ­ which the leaders of America also have their eyes upon. Of course, they know they have to be careful about this, so that there is not such an outcry from other nations. In their greed and lust for more power and control of the oil, they have perpetrated war.

Burning Down the House: Keep on rockin' in the free world



October 26, 2007
By Gabe Winant





"But we’re not an entirely single-minded people, Americans. We’ve been known to do one thing, and sanctimoniously vote for another. This is why Bush claims his favorite song is the Everly Brothers’ “Wake Up Little Susie.” Recorded, of course, in 1957, it’s about a couple that goes on a date to a movie, only to fall asleep and worry about the scandal of getting home so late. It’s perfect, right up to the diminutive epithet attached to Susie’s name. Conservatives have spent the decades since Woodstock campaigning against rock and roll and the era of social change that it symbolized. Nixon’s vice president, Spiro Agnew, used to joke about “acid, amnesty and abortion” as the Democratic platform, and Reagan kicked off his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Miss., site of the murder of three Freedom Summer civil rights workers. Why do you think the modern Republican mind is fixated on Hillary Clinton?"




Ted Rudow III,MA -In 1969, Nitler and his Nitzies began to crush their youthful rebellion by the most fiendish, brutal, violent and repressive police power ever seen used in America against its own citizens and its own children since the days of the horrible slaughter of the Civil War of just 100 years before!

The student were cruelly beated, maimed and shot to death on their own campuses and as well as in the jails by the very parents who should have protected them and helped them to change the world! Draft deferments were canceled and America's young men were placed in military concentration camps--or in prison if they refused to go and fight their parents' murderous wars!
They managed to fool and lull the American public to sleep with a false sense of security and a don't-rock-the-boat-attitude. If the general American public now permit their dirty-dealing President to get away with his illegal, underhanded crimes and criminal obstructions of justice and suppressions of the truth,I belived that all hope is lost.

Mrs. President? Maybe

Abstract:
I cannot say that I know much about politics or that I have the experience to run this country, but there is someone who can.

Hillary Clinton, New York senator and former first lady, is no stranger to a life of politics and a presence in the public eye.

She currently leads the Democratic nominees with a majority of at least 48 percent, according to polls taken by FOX News and CNN, as well as the LA Times/Bloomberg and the USA Today/Gallup polls....

Left Coast: An effective response to SoCal wildfires



October 25, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe
"I drove down to Los Angeles Monday night with my girlfriend to report on the wild fires that have been raging this week in Southern California. --
-----There is always more to do, but we should pause for a moment and thank ourselves for making these investments. California has a well trained, high-morale, professional firefighting force and the physical infrastructure to support these firefighters. Our police departments are well staffed and have the equipment they need. We have competent administrative agencies that can coordinate a disaster response, prepare plans in advance and work together smoothly.

It’s easy to complain about the high and numerous taxes in California. But looking at the response to this disaster, it seems our tax dollars have been put to good use. This was a time when we needed our government, and our government — in the form of the brave fire fighters and police officers still battling the fires — has followed through."

As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4).

When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

Fires

Only God knows in his wisdom just exactly why he takes so many in a natural disaster, but it's apparently their time. Even Christians, theologians and church leaders have to face the question: Why does God destroy so many people? Death is not a curse for little children, the innocent, the poor, the suffering, the less responsible, less accountable.Death is not a curse for them, because they go to a better world, a better life, a relief from the evils of this horrible planet and so death's a blessing. So perhaps this is why the Lord allows so many of the poor, and the young to die ­ those who are suffering almost beyond endurance in this life. Therefore, the Lord takes them out of their suffering, out of their poverty, out of their pain, out of their starvation. He blesses them with death ­ which to those upon whom he has such mercy is a mere gateway, a doorway, an entrance to a better life in which they'll be relieved of all this.

Center of policy

"The Office of the Vice President has transformed itself into a free republic's worst nightmare, assuming Caesar-like dictatorial authority over almost every aspect of American national security policy at home and abroad. From torture to illegal wiretapping, to arms control (or lack of it) to Iran, Dick Cheney is the undisputed center of policy power in America today." Scott Ritter He is a man of oppression. He became a common joke. But he's no joke. Draw a mustache on him and you see what he really is, who he really is, in his heart. Bush's whole administration has all the earmarks of a well-prepared Nazi-type regime! In "The War Goes On", by Sholem Asch, he wrote on the conditions in post-WWI Germany which brought Hitler to power. He showed the picture of Germany--what was wrong with Germany--what happened to Germany and why Hitler was created--the monster was created to devour the lesser monster--so they created a bigger Monster!

Next up: World War III

Abstract:
Does anybody listen anymore?

Do people listen to their professors when they assign essays? Do professors listen when students say, "I uhh … left it … umm … my dog …"?

How about this: Will Americans listen when Fidel Castro says President George W. Bush is on the verge of igniting World War III?

Will Congress listen?

Heck - will Bush himself listen?

Will I get drafted because of this?

According to the Associated Press, Castro, Cuba's communist head of state, wrote a brief essay titled "Bush, Hunger and Death" criticizing our president's nuclear war policy a day before "the White House plans to announce new plans to draw Cuba away from communism....

Ted Rudow III,MA Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday warned against military action against Iran and backed its right to nuclear energy, during the first visit to this country by a Kremlin chief since World War II.
The Arab-Israeli war, Iraq war and all other conflicts can be ended and a final agreement reached on the Arab lands and an international pact made concerning the city of Jerusalem. Because Arab patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced UN Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Arab lands.
Because of totally irreconcilable differences between selfish American and Israeli interests and those of the rest of the World a peaceful settlement is utterly impossible, and an armed invasion and conquest by Russia and supporting powers is inevitable. Any major invasion force would have to be permitted to pass through either Turkey or Iran or both, as well as Iraq and Syria .
God himself describes this invasion of Israel,and says it will come from the North led by Russia with the help of Europe, Libya, Turkey, Persia and Ethiopia.That's what it says in the Bible(see Ezekiel 38 and 38 and Daniel 11).

SF Halloween party off, options limited



October 23, 2007
By Salone Kapur

"The Halloween Party started in the 1950s as a costume party for children, and steadily grew from a party for the city’s gay community and their families into an attraction for people from all over the Bay Area. Over the years, moving the famed Castro party has been subject to annual discussion as violence has increasingly defined the event. Drawing large and wild, inebriated crowds, the party has been marred by violence and hate-speech against the gay community, culminating in the stabbing of four revelers in 2002. The last straw came last year when a gunman opened fire and shot nine people, including innocent bystanders.---"

Ted Rudow III,MA
The true name of Halloween is "Samhain." This was the Celtic Lord of the Dead! For 3 days from Oct 29-31, the Celtic people, along with their priestly class called Druids, would hold an ancient rite which would mark the beginning and the end of the year.
Usually a week before the rites of Samhain began, the Druid had ordered the people of the Celtic tribe to disperse throughout the countryside and gather thousands of wicker reed.This is a very strong and durable stick. Wicker furniture has been made from it and most of us are familiar with it.
They would then construct a giant human effigy that would stand from 30 to 50 feet, as the Wicker Man. Many cages had been built within it. Each prisoner would be tied to one of the cages. Then the Druids began their idea of fun and games.
Yet, I have seen many Christian churches throughout this nation hold Halloween Parties within the church building. Every single one of these things is directly from the celebration of Samhain. You are simply trying to turn something evil into something good! Isaiah 5:20. We pray this helps you to NOT be a partaker of this "holiday.
