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.---"

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.

"Cheney and his cohorts have constructed a never-never land of oversight deniability, claiming immunity from both executive and legislative checks and balances.

Student group rallies to end world poverty

Supporters of ending world poverty gathered at the Student Union Amphitheater Wednesday afternoon at the "Stand Up, Speak Out" rally, part of a worldwide event in support of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

Ted Rudow III,MA At the same time, dirty water is the second-leading cause of death among children globally, after respiratory infections. It kills 1.8 million children younger than 5 each year, more than do HIV/AIDS, malaria, war or traffic accidents, says the U.N. report.
The governments of the world are so stupid! Many poor people today live just like poor people lived 2,000 years ago, barely scratching out a living and hauling water from a nearby river or well, while their governments spend millions or billions on weapons of war. It's such a ridiculous waste! Thank the Lord, He's going to set things right when He returns and put an end to war and war-mongering politicians and wasteful governments! In the meantime, the state of the world shows what happens when man tries to run it himself, and what a mess he makes of it!

"New IMF, World bank chiefs face task of restoring credibility"
October15, 2007
The industry's size-hedge funds contain over $1.5 trillion and the impact of the funds' trading strategies on securities markets and on company operations has prompted regulators around the world to investigate the industry. The securities and exchange commission recently promulgated a limited package of new rules, effective on February 1 of this year.
SEC lists as one of its primary reasons for its new hedge fund regulations, a number of troubling incidences of fraud perpetrated by hedge fund operators. People who are suspicious of " get-rich-quick, guaranteed" come-on pitches believe that hedge funds may be duping their own investors with false promises of easy money.
Colleges such as the college of Wooster in Ohio have over 80 percent of their entire endowment in hedge funds, to the consternation of some of their alumni who wonder whether the college officials are overmatched when responding to hedge fund solicitations. The more money it has made, the more it has borrowed, and the harder and more devastating the fall will be in the end. There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades.

Burning Down the House: He is the walrus
October 19, 2007
By Gabe Winant
"So, on Saturday morning, we heard that the Middle East is a gas station with antisemitism and domestic-abuse problems, and that our economy is a monster truck with a stuck gas pedal and a lost key, among other things. Neither of these points is even actually wrong, though the metaphors don’t really scan. Further, Friedman appears, theatrically dropping his voice to a whisper, to have just discovered them.--For example, he notes — I think correctly — that radical Islamic terrorism is the result of years of American-sanctioned political repression in the Islamic world. Friedman’s solution to Arab resentment of the American-backed political regime? American invasion. To sum up: Friedman is smart enough to understand that Arabs, like everyone else, want their human and civil rights, and that they’re pissed that we are complicit in denying them these rights. ---"
Ted Rudow III,MA
The Bush administration is approaching its last year in the White House. As the clock ticks toward 2008, speculation grows over whether President Bushand Vice President Dick Cheney will indeed launch a widely feared attack on Iran.
"I thought Petraeus went way beyond what Iran is doing inside Iraq today," said David Kay, a former CIA adviser and the chief weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations. "When the White House started its anti-Iran campaign, six months ago, I thought it was all craziness. Now it does look like there is some selective smuggling by Iran, but much of it has been in response to American pressure and American threats."
Iran's not a threat to the US, just as Iraq wasn't a threat to the US. The threat is to Israel, which has always worried about any of its neighbors getting ahold of nuclear weapons.
Israel, of course, has many nuclear weapons. So Israel is egging on the US to do something about it, and is hinting that if the US doesn't stop the Iranian nuclear program, then Israel will - the same way it stopped Iraq's nuclear program years ago, by blowing up their reactor. The United States professes that it supports democracy in the Middle East, yet when there was a democratic government in Iran, the US destroyed it.

WWIII?
by Ted Rudow III,MA
Wednesday Oct 17th, 2007 3:06 PM
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).

Costly Iraq sacrifice
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.

Recent events stir hate crime dialogue
Abstract:
With recent acts of arson and vandalism committed on campus, such as the burning of a ceremonial Jewish tent at the Hillel House, the defacing of the Smith-Carlos Statue and the homophobic remark scratched on the hood of a student's car, there is a growing dialogue on campus as to whether such acts can be identified as hate crimes....

Ted Rudow III,MA Look at what democracy has done to America and the way it has grown more ungodly by the year. You may wonder how that can be, if the majority of the people are Christian and elect a president, especially this one, who also claims to be a Christian and glorifies His name. You may say that an ungodly majority is bad, yes, but what about a godly majority? What about a nation that preaches and promotes such Christian values?
Yes, America would like to export democracy to the world. Her people think it is a great thing, for has it not brought them wealth? Her rulers also think it is a great thing, because it not only brings them wealth, but it brings them power as well, both at home and in other nations.
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.

There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades.

Halloween: At what age does the schoolgirl become sexy?
Abstract:
It's almost Halloween, my favorite holiday. I love everything about it - the costumes, the candy, the parties. Halloween costume ideas have been working their way into many of my daily conversations, and in almost every publication I pick up, including the Spartan Daily, I see sales ads for costumes....

Ted Rudow III,MA The Horrors of Halloween
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.
The priests of the Celtic tribe, the Druids, would meet in giant megalithic circles during the nights of Oct 29-31. One of the most famous of these circles is known as Stonehenge. They serve 3 functions: 1)temple complexes of worship 2) used as astrological observatories, and 3) they were used as temples for the rite of human sacrifice!
The Druids would meet within these circles and fill a cauldron with an apple cider like substance and then light a fire underneath it. Once this was done, then they would wander the countryside and visit the homes of various members of nobility. They would knock on the door and yell, "Trick or Treat."
This was a two part expression that would send waves of fear over everyone. The Treat would come about if you, as the head of the house would give a servant, or a family member over to the Druids to be used as a human sacrifice offering to Samhain for that night. In return, the "Treat" the Druids would give you would be a pumpkin which had been previously hallowed out and filled with human fat! The Druid would place this pumpkin on the front door step and light it. This would then serve as a protection for you and your family against those demonic forces which they would be summoning for those nights. Now, heres the "Trick." If you did not cooperate with the Druid, they would take human blood and draw a huge hexagram on your front door. The hexagram is the foulest, most evil of all symbols in the occult. If you are going to summon up a demon, a LITERAL demon. to this plane of existence, you need the hexagram in order to do so. Once the Druids had drawn this symbol on the door, someone would usually die from all the demonic forces that had been summoned. After they had wandered for 3 or 4 hours, they would return back to the stones with their human sacrifice offerings in tow.
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.
These so called departed souls were nothing more than demonic spirits taking on the form of someone's departed loved one. Just another demonic deception.
So, as you can now see, the practice of Halloween is FILLED with OCCULT practices. Yet, I have seen many Christian churches throughout this nation hold Halloween Parties within the church building. Some call it a "Harvest Party." You will find Scarecrows, Pumpkins, Bobbin for Apples, Orange and Black Crepe paper, Candy, Hot Apple cider, Ghost Stories, Costumes (Christian or not). Every single one of these things is directly from the celebration of Samhain. So, here we are as Christians DUPLICATING ONE OF SATAN'S HOLIDAYS. The Scarecrows are derived from the Wicker Man, the Pumpkin or "Jack 0 Lantern" same thing used by the Druids as protection against demonic forces. Bobbin for Apples in the horrible cauldron. Orange and Black-specific colors in the occult world. The two traditional colors for autumn to this very day. Candy the food offering for Samhain. Hot Apple-Cider from the liquid in the caldron!! Ghost stories. Costumes, even if you dress up as King Solomon or Moses, you are STILL COUNTERFEITING the Devils Holiday!! 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

'The truth"
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Oct 13th, 2007 8:19 AM
Throughout history, the same events recurred. Mussolini and the Nazis had the blessing of the Pope, because the Catholic Church depends upon for its existence.
With Nixon, having now been unmasked for his nefarious perfidies by the now Watergate affair, 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, yet Cheney still think they should have fought it!
Bush professed to be a moderate, and got elected--but then turned rightist. For his Vice-president he picked a man with a bad civil rights record, a record 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. By putting such a man next in line to him for the Presidency, Bush figured out the best way to save his own neck.
The clever subtlety of this regime. It was all very logical and obviously supposed to be very good for you and good for everyone, good for the Country and even for the rest of the world. You were almost convinced yourself--into believing what they were doing was right and for the common good, and even necessary, so that you felt little or no resentment or resistance.
It seem almost hypnotic: You moved along as though in a trance, as though drugged or dreaming, unable to speak out, unable to contradict, and much less able to rebel against what was called "the Truth", although all the time you realized subconsciously that it was some kind of big, horrible, and monstrous lie, but you were afraid not to believe it.

Now after 5 years of invaded 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!!
Noting "there are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution," the 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! Then have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them now.

Abstract:
I was raised to believe cheating and stealing are wrong. Don't cheat in school, don't cheat your friends and don't take something that is not rightfully yours.

Ted Rudow III,MA 10/11/07 YES! "The link toward violence and steroids is a fact! "How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs; how they understand the alleged steroid-violence link..." ("Bodybuilding, Drug and Risk," Lee Monaghan)
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 bad for our kids' behavior, clearly something is going on here. Parents, school administrators and coaches need to get a grip on it."

Ted Rudow III,MA Terror is big business
"George W. Bush is the imperial president that James Madison and other founders of this great republic warned us about... thus eschewing the alarms of Thomas Jefferson as to the deprivation of the inalienable rights of free citizens...",Robert Scheer
Bush betrayed Congress, which in turn betrayed the American people--just as Madison feared when he wrote: "Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it compromises and develops the germ of every other."
The "War on Terror" is the perfect war--it keeps the economy rolling, as all wars do,provides jobs and generates taxes, gives the government greater control over almost every aspect of life, and will never end, because how can you be sure you've nabbed all the terrorists? And trying to stop them is too lucrative a business to give up!

Stu's Views: Hillary's problem with the 'B-word'
October 10, 2007
By Stuart Baimel
--- "This raises the question of whether America truly is ready for a female president and what more has to be done so that it is. Hillary may lead the Democratic nomination. She may be favored by the political markets and odds-makers to win both the primary and general election. Unfortunately, she may not be able to conquer substantial negative perceptions for behaving no differently than any other male politician."
More articles
Hillary Clinton's strong beliefs have been exposed in various publications. She's on the wrong side of everything. She's for abortion; she's for gay rights; she's against home schooling; she's for children's rights against their parents; and she's for children suing their parents, and on down the line. Before William Branham died, that great and humble prophet, one of the last revelations and visions he had was that the final ruler of the United States, who would bring the United States to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful but very cruel woman.

Zionist
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday Oct 9th, 2007 10:10 AM
There's a rabidly Zionist bunch of Christians in the U.S. which is also adamantly opposed to Iran getting the bomb, in case it might attack Israel.
The main one, John Hagee is very liberal with his ministry’s money when it comes to Israel. A Religious News Service report stated that Hagee raised over $1 million to help Soviet Jews resettle in Israel. He believes that Jews already have a covenant with God and a relationship to God and do not need to come to the cross. This certainly is a shocking statement in the light of Jesus’ words that “no man comes to the Father but through me” (John 14:6).
They're afraid Israel's destruction would hinder or frustrate the Lord's return(secret Rapture like C.I. Scofield)—as if the Lord needed their help to fulfill His prophecies. So here you see the U.S., which has 10,000 nuclear weapons of various types and has been engaged in constant wars, and Israel, which has at least 200 nuclear weapons and has repeatedly fought its neighbors, calling Iran, with no nuclear weapons, a threat to world peace and a menace to civilization!

Palestine point
by Tedr77 [at] aol.com
Monday Oct 8th, 2007
Being able to voice criticism of Israeli government policy is becoming a major issue on university campuses across the United States.
There has been an almost complete disappearance of the Palestinian point of view from the mainstream media reporting of the Middle East within the past two years.
The issue is neither ignorant nor anti-semitic. It presents a view of the US and Israel that people such as Alan Dershowitz and Ruth Wisse oppose. Former President Jimmy Carter made similar points, if rather hotly and self-righteously, in his recent book, “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid.”
Despite their treatment, many of the Palestinians simply try to get by, to survive, but there are those who respond to violence with violence. There is terrorism on both sides.Yet it is Palestinian children who have suffered the most, endured the most hardship and pain, and undergone the most torment of body and spirit.Recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations( UN 242) could solve the problem!

Editorial: Praise for USA PATRIOT Act rulings
October 5, 2007
By Editorial Board
"The USA PATRIOT Act was written in the wake of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks, in an attempt to fight terror and increase foreign intelligence accessibility for law enforcement agencies. --The judges who have ruled against the USA PATRIOT Act over the past three years should be praised, as should the Congressmen and Senators who have written the under-publicized bills condemning or repealing parts of the act. These actions, however, are only stepping stones to a final and necessary achievement. The government as a whole, including the executive branch, must decide against the underlying tenants of the USA PATRIOT Act. Never should absolute power be given to any part of the government. The liberties of American citizens should never be sacrificed, regardless of how well-intentioned the rationale"
Ted Rudow III,MA
The debate over how terrorist suspects should be held and questioned began shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, when the Bush administration adopted secret detention and coercive interrogation. The U.S. Senate got up in arms over the "torture" aspect of these prisons like Guantanamo Bay and others, and passed a bill to try and stop it—despite disagreements with the vice president and others in the administration over "What is torture" and how far they can legally go in mistreating and abusing people—and the president finally signed it, but said he had the power to ignore it in the interest of national security!
Well, Bush is ignoring other laws, so I guess he figures one more doesn't make much difference. He's also authorized the NSA, the National Security Agency, to spy on Americans despite laws against it, and the FBI is getting into surveillance of anti-war groups, civil rights workers, and such dangerous folks as Quakers, of all things—anyone who exercises their right of free speech to oppose his government's policies.

He's also authorized the NSA, the National Security Agency, to spy on Americans despite laws against it, and the FBI is getting into surveillance of anti-war groups, civil rights workers, and such dangerous folks as Quakers, of all things—anyone who exercises their right of free speech to oppose his government's policies.

Endowment grows again
Despite volatile economy, endowment continues decade of steady increase
October 3, 2007
By James Hohmann
"It was another red letter year for Stanford’s endowment fund, which grew about 23 percent to $17.2 billion, as of Aug. 31.
The net gain alone amounted to $3.1 billion, a figure larger than the gross domestic product of Barbados. And over the last decade, Stanford’s pool of money has grown an average of 15.1 percent every year.--The potential for further market declines and volatility concerns Powers and his team of investment gurus, so they are being cautious and have taken a dim view on the credit markets.“We don’t believe the shocks of July and August have worked their way completely though the system,” he said. “We still think risks in the domestic and global economies aren’t fully represented in the credit markets.”-----
Ted Rudow III,MA
The world is headed back toward the days of the Great Depression in more ways than one. In the U.S., the difference between the immense wealth of the rich and the poverty of the poor led to the election of FDR, who said he'd see that the poor were treated more fairly.
More self-delusion. More danger of a sudden bust. The more money it has made, the more it has borrowed, and the harder and more devastating the fall will be in the end. There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades. The world's economy is a house built on the sand of debt, and a storm is coming, and great will be the fall of that house (Matthew 7:24-27).

The natural progression: Democrat to Independent to Republican?
Abstract: The first presidential race I can remember was in 1988. I was 7 years old. The candidate for the Democrats was Michael Dukakis. In my house it was all Dukakis. Dukakis. Dukakis. Dukakis. See, my father is, and was, a Democrat. His father was a Democrat....

Conscious, manipulative lies were also at the root of U.S. intervention in Vietnam. Hysterical cold warriors portrayed Vietnam as the key domino in a global struggle against
communism.
As the old saying goes, about the only thing we ever learn from history is that we never learn from history. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, and what some governments consider potential terrorists are simply
those who don't agree with government policies.
"When the Nazis came for the Communists, I didn't speak up, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I was a Protestant, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me ... and by that time, there was no one left to stand up for me." German Minister Martin Niemoller

Attack on Iran?
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday Oct 2nd, 2007 1:45 PM
The Bush administration is approaching its last year in the White House. As the clock ticks towards 2008, speculation grows over whether President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will indeed launch a widely feared attack on Iran.
On target is Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities in Tehran and elsewhere.
“I thought Petraeus went way beyond what Iran is doing inside Iraq today,” David Kay, a former C.I.A. adviser and the chief weapons inspector in Iraq for the United Nations. “When the White House started its anti-Iran campaign, six months ago, I thought it was all craziness. Now it does look like there is some selective smuggling by Iran, but much of it has been in response to American pressure and American threats"..
Iran’s not a threat to the U.S., just as Iraq wasn’t a threat to the U.S. The threat is to Israel, which has always worried about any of its neighbors getting ahold of nuclear weapons. Israel, of course, has many nuclear weapons. So Israel is egging on the U.S. to do something about it, and is hinting that if the U.S. doesn’t stop the Iranian nuclear program, then Israel will—the same way it stopped Iraq’s nuclear program years ago, by blowing up their reactor. The U.S. professes that it supports democracy in the Middle East yet when there was a democratic government in Iran the U.S. destroyed it.

Do you know which books are banned?
Abstract:
Day to day, we probably don't think much about our reading choices. Students have plenty of assigned reading, and professors must read a lot to stay current. We might feel we have little choice in our reading because we have so much assigned reading.
Aside from time constraints, are there any forces limiting our reading choices? Does your local bookstore carry books from a wide variety of publishers, or just a few? How are selection decisions made? Could the person responsible for buying books for your local bookstore or library avoid books on topics they don't agree with? Have any titles been removed from school libraries or school curriculum due to parent or teacher disapproval of the subject matter?
These are important questions to think about periodically....

Ted Rudow III,MA 10/02/07 "War is important for consuming the products of human labour; if this work were being used to increase the standard of living, the control of the party over the people would decrease. War is the economic basis of a hierarchical society.", "1984"
The prophetic novel, about a government that controls the masses by spreading propaganda, cracking down on subversive thought and altering history to suit its needs, was intended to be read as a warning about the evils of totalitarianism.
In "1984," the state remained perpetually at war against a vague and ever-changing enemy. The war took place largely in the abstract, but it served as a convenient vehicle to fuel hatred, nurture fear and justify the regime's autocratic practices
Banned Books Week has been observed since 1982, with the purpose of reminding people of their freedom to read whatever they want. Sounds just like some governments today, and like many politicians. Fear is the devil's favorite weapon, and it works as well with governments as it does with individual people. Currently it's a day of fear -- of "terror." Nations and people are terrified of terrorism, and many are quite willing to give up all sorts of freedoms -- many of the very freedoms we are supposedly "fighting for" -- to avoid it.
Sound familiar? Sometimes fiction is just as strange as truth.

Debates on political visits
Across nation, college campuses alive with debates on politics, free speech
October 2, 2007
By Patrick K. Fitzgerald "Last week’s visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Columbia University brought the debate over campus politics and academic freedom — a debate already brewing at Stanford since the Hoover Institution announced the appointment of Donald Rumsfeld as a distinguished visiting fellow in mid-September — to the national spotlight."
Ted Rudow III,MA
One can call Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad many things, but a dictator he is not. He doesn’t even have the power to appoint his own cabinet ministers. It’s a presidency with very limited power. And to claim that he is in a position to threaten the United States or Israel is just bizarre.
The Israelis and the pro-Israel interest in the United States have lobbied to make sure that there is no dialogue or there’s no rapprochement between the United States and Iran. And the Iranians have done similar things. They have undermined every U.S. initiative in the Middle East they feared would be beneficial to Israel.
The U.S. isn’t really against terrorists; it’s just against terrorists who aren’t its friends and allies. After all, if it were against terrorists, it would be against Israel, against the various Israeli governments that have thrown the Palestinians off their land and seized it.

Mehdi Mahdavi Azad: Law and order for Iranian women

Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish
"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.

Speak now or forever hold your peace
Abstract:
If Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke at SJSU, would you listen?
Would you skip your class? Would you tell your friends and encourage them to go?
Would you attend the Iranian president's opportunity to stand before a microphone? Would you sit under the bright lights of the Morris Dailey Auditorium, maybe not sure of what to expect, because Ahmadinejad hasn't been afforded the same grandiose amount of media attention as he was Monday? He was given the opportunity, partially, to speak at Columbia University amid much controversy within the school and by political figureheads elsewhere....

"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.

Let the cream rise and the rest will perish
Abstract:
Surreal.
This was the scene at Columbia University in Manhattan on Monday.
As if a hologram of the man who is often said to be one of the most dangerous in the world was in the auditorium.
Only it wasn't a hologram. It really was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unshaken, despite the scathing preamble Columbia University President Lee Bollinger spoke toward him before the Middle East leader approached the podium....

One can call Ahmadinejad many things, but a dictator he is by no means. He can't even -- he doesn't even have the power to appoint his own cabinet ministers. It's a presidency with very limited power. And to claim that he is in a position to threaten the United States or Israel is just bizarre, frankly.
And ever since, the Israelis and the pro-Israel interest in the United States have lobbied to make sure that there is no dialogue or there's no rapprochement between the United States and Iran. And the Iranians have done similar things. They have undermined every US foreign policy initiative in the Middle East that they feared would be beneficial to Israel.
U.S. isn't really against terrorists; it's just against terrorists who aren't its friends and allies! After all, if it were against terrorists, it would be against Israel, against the various Israeli governments which have thrown the Palestinians off their land and seized it.

Sixteen gallons of oil. That's how much the average American soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan consumes daily -- either directly, through the use of Humvees, tanks, trucks, and helicopters, or indirectly, by calling in air strikes. Multiply this figure by 162,000 soldiers in Iraq, 24,000 in Afghanistan, and 30,000 in the surrounding region (including sailors aboard U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf) and you arrive at approximately 3.5 million gallons of oil: the daily petroleum tab for U.S. combat operations in the Middle East war zone.
So the Pentagon is being transformed from protecting America's oil supply so that the "American way of life" can be preserved, as Bush's father once said, to preserving the "Pentagon's way of life" -- war. Well, there's not much difference most of the time. The Pentagon's way of life is the American way of life. And when America's way of life starts getting more expensive because oil becomes much more expensive, America will again resort to war to keep the oil flowing -- although that won't be the excuse they use. There will doubtless be some "tyrant" to overthrow, some "evildoer" with weapons of mass destruction, some "dictatorship" that needs "democracy" -- imposed by force, of course -- en route to liberating the oil fields and wells that are the real reason for the war. The question is whether Russia and China and Europe and other nations will let America seize the oil it needs when they need it too. We shall see.

The radical left aren't killing thousands upon thousands in Iraq those nice short-haired clean-cut soldier kids, and some of them are doing it with a relish.They're the worst filth of all.They're even dirtier than the left, because they are going over there where they don't belong and self-righteously murdering the poor and destroying that nation. So the world's worst problem today, in spite of what they think, is not the radical left youth, or the so-called criminal youth, but they who are slaughtering the poor, the weak and the defenseless.The ones who look like beautiful vessels on the shelf are even worse than the useless, worthless and good for nothing:They are downright destructive and dangerous!

'White House paints dismal picture
of Iraqi leadership'
September, 15
Countries like China and Japan produce like mad and sell like mad and have huge trade balances, because they export more than they import. But the United States, they are such gluttons they guzzle down everything and consume everything, especially oil. The oil consumption in the US has not gone down the slighest bit. They're not conserving a bit, instead they're actually using more. Let the companies raise the prices, even put more tax on oil, and they still buy more. Raising prices is not going to slow those people down one iota from taking their Sunday afternoon drive or their vacation or their weekend trip, not a bit. The only thing that'll even stop them is rationing, and they're going to come to it one of these days. However, you and I know the American driver has an idea that rather than have their gasoline rationed and their vacations shortened and their big cars shortened, they would much prefer to go to war and steal it, grab off a few countries (Iraq and now Iran?) that have oil, and they can do it under the excuse of saving Israel.

"Pimps"
by Ted Rudow III,MA
Thursday Sep 20th, 2007 3:40 PM
Americans with less-than-stellar credit, customers were people who may have been late on credit card payments, maybe even filed bankruptcy in the previous years, but still wanted that shot at the American dream: a home of one's own. Lenders, flush with cash and eager to exploit new markets so they could, in turn, lend more money and increase their profits, were only too happy to oblige.
Four of the five metro areas expected to experience the highest foreclosure rates for subprime mortgages originated in 2006 are California cities. They can't seem to get over the "American Dream, but the Capitalistic financiers of the world, they don't want to lose their investments.
So the money "pimps" get together and agree to support her dollars when she's sick and not earning them any money.They think she's going to get well again, and they don't realize she's just going to die, and they're pouring their money down drain! They have been making money from her hire, and they've been investing in her wages, but her wages and dollars are going to turn to ashes.

The 22-country Arab League will send envoys on a historic first mission to Israel this week to discuss a sweeping Arab peace initiative and how it might prop up embattled Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Israeli and Arab diplomats. What little we have been told is pure anti-Arab propaganda. Nothing good is ever said by the West about the Arabs; I never heard anything good in school about the Arabs. I think is it racism, but try as they will, Israel will never willingly withdraw from the Israeli-occupied Arab territories and has said flatly she will never give up Jerusalem, and because the Arabs have said they will never be satisfied with anything short of an Israeli withdrawal from Arab territories, including and particularly Jerusalem, nothing less than forced intervention by one of the superpowers can solve the situation. Because Arab patience has reached its limits with Israeli refusal to abide by the unenforced U.N. Resolution No.242 in which virtually the whole world, including America, agreed that Israel should withdraw from Arab lands. America will fight for the possession of Israel and Arab oil.

Countries such as China and Japan produce like mad and sell like mad and have huge trade balances, because they export more than they import. But we in the United States are such gluttons we guzzle down everything and consume everything, especially oil. Oil consumption in the U.S. has not gone down the slightest bit.

Look how they've attacked each major field that proves the existence of a perfect God: The first thing they attacked was religion itself!--Various religions were just religions, probably fabrications of man, so how could you say which was right or wrong? In other words, there were no religious absolutes.
Then they had to work on philosophy too, because that contained love, so they had to debunk philosophy, to try to prove there was no perfect philosophy, no particular philosophy was either right or wrong.
History is another thing which really proves the existence of God--God's laws of retribution & fulfilled prophecy, the rise & fall of empires because of either righteousness or wickedness. So they had to debunk History: "They were all villains!--There weren't any good or heroic men!"--The diabolical subtleness of the fiendish devilish attacks on the proofs of the existence of God! It makes me furious!
They even did the same with music, to where music was no longer music, it was just noise! It didn't have to be harmony, it didn't have to be pleasant, because there were no rules! Look at art: Modernistic art is total confusion--no rules, no beauty, no nothing! It doesn't even have to mean anything. See, if you can prove to people there's no meaning to a thing, then there's no order, no purpose, no plan, & there's no Planner.
In the same way they attacked creation: They had to try to prove there was no order to things, no laws, no plan, no purpose.--Therefore, there was no Planner or Anybody that gave orders. So Creation just became a meaningless chaotic evolution: "It all just happened by accident."
Their whole theme song is: "It ain't necessarily so."--Beginning with the Bible, they've gone right on down the line through everything.--"There's nothing that's true, so there is no Truth", in other words.

posted 9/17/07 @ 7:34 PM PST I like how you put your opinion.
It was to the point and clear.
I also agree that "under God" should not be taken out.
That is ridiculous. People can be dismised from saying it, rather than completely abolishing.
We can't just delete 53 years of repeating the same Pledge of Allegiance, and suddenly be banned from saying those words that are memorized permanently in our minds and hearts forever.

Their whole theme song is: "It ain't necessarily so."--Beginning with the Bible, they've gone right on down the line through everything.--"There's nothing that's true, so there is no Truth", in other words.

posted 9/17/07 @ 7:34 PM PST I like how you put your opinion.
It was to the point and clear.
I also agree that "under God" should not be taken out.
That is ridiculous. People can be dismised from saying it, rather than completely abolishing.
We can't just delete 53 years of repeating the same Pledge of Allegiance, and suddenly be banned from saying those words that are memorized permanently in our minds and hearts forever.

Euros

Number of famous economists, they are each planning to be somewhere else when the crash comes which they predict will topple the rich nations like tumbling tenpins into an economic chaos that will make the Great Depression of the Thirties look like good times.
-->
They says the big bust really began clear back in 1973 and there will soon be a colossal deflation with the collapse of the Dollar followed by a price inflation which will make today look like stability! One economist predicts that when the people begin to wake up to what's happening to their money, they're going to start cashing in their stocks and bonds and spending their savings to try to get their money's worth, so that banks, corporations and even governments will go broke as people begin to realise their paper money is really worth nothing at all! Modern economists ignore the even more dangerous social and political signs and the most vital of all financial forecasting factors. Your money is losing its value faster than they can print it, and it soon won't be worth any more than the paper it's printed on. Already investors are fleeing from paper money into gold.The sad result is that the United States now owns far less gold than official figures pretend. The dollar marked a new record low against the euro amid growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut U.S. interest rates next week and fears that the credit crunch is threatening the health of the U.S. economy.The euro was up 0.5% against the greenback, at $1.3904, after earlier touching $1.3913 -- its highest level since the European currency was launched in January 1999.

War trumps rationing
Editor - Oil consumption in the United States has not gone down in the slightest. Let the companies raise the prices; people still buy more. Raising prices is not going to slow people down from taking their Sunday afternoon drive or their vacation or their weekend trip, not a bit. The only thing that'll stop them is rationing. However, American drivers, rather than have their gasoline rationed and their vacations shortened, would much prefer to go to war to steal it.

Ted Rudow III,MA Anti-Americanism
We sympathize with those who lost their loved ones and their livelihoods, and with the poor children who lost their parents, or the people who were left injured, maimed or burned. The Lord Himself grieves for them, and His heart is greatly touched by this calamity. At the same time, there are lessons to learn from this tragedy, for both America and the world. One is that advanced technology is no guarantee of the safety and security of a nation; only the Lord is. Many nations have sympathy for America in the face of her great loss, but as Americans lash out aggressively at anyone they think is against them, anyone they perceive as being hostile, then the sympathy will fade fast. And in the end, many countries will be more anti-American than they ever were in the past. Why will there be anti-Americanism? Because of the actions and attitudes of Americans themselves, sad to say. Instead of seeing themselves as others see them, many will persist in looking at the world only through a nationalistic American lens and viewpoint, so they'll reap antagonism instead of support.

George Bush

George Bush
To move the world along toward the End quickly, that man is George Bush. That does not mean that he is the best man, but that he is best for that position for now, to turn the world against America. America will get the leader that she deserves. She has become an ungodly nation, and the majority of her people will elect an ungodly ruler to lead them”for "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. But wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Matthew 7:13,14). Judge not by the outward appearance of the candidates, but by their heart and actions. For there are those among these contenders who will draw nigh to Him with their mouth, and honor Him with their lips, but their heart is far from Him (Matthew 15:8). Many have left the idealism of their youth behind and have turned aside toward glory, power, and even covetousness.

Any parting words for Gonzales?
Editor,
The words of politicians, Orwell wrote, are "designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." In "1984" is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. It incessantly relays messages from the party and simultaneously allows the dreaded "thought police to tune into the activities of any individual at any given time."

America's good memory?

"It was desirable to make sure that the Japanese were the ones to do this so that there should remain no doubt in anyone's mind as to who were the aggressors" Henry Stimson,Secretary of War Arthur McClenn was a officer in Naval intelligence and believed that war with Japan soon. He develop a 8 Point Plan, a pre-war plan that would allow Japanese attack on U.S. He gave it to Roosevelt in secrecy. The day after McClenn gave the plan to him, he acted it out! Thus U.S acted before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor! The only way America can have plenty is with war. American economy, Western economy, Capitalist economy can thrive only on war. God is the only One who can give them peace and plenty at the same time.--I mean all that they need. As long as a nation demands more than they need, in other words more than plenty, they demand absolute excess, extravagant luxury.--They have to rob the poor to get it, and to rob the poor to get it they have to wage war. Almost all American industries, even non-war industries, are making money at the expense of the poor of other nations of the world. So the Iraqi war is the same.The only thing that would ever stir up the Americans to really howl is if their favourite TV show got pre-empted, or if the government should clamp down on their gasoline.

Delay is 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!

Blessed are the peacemakers

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.

Librarians

Librarians are not the threatEditor,Once President Bush reauthorized the Patriot Act, the FBI lifted the librarians’ gag order. This eliminated the possibility that the NSL provisions would be struck down. Today, the librarians are the only ones who can talk about life with an NSL gag, despite the likelihood that there are hundreds if not thousands of other similar stories out there. The prison term for violating the gag order was added to the reauthorized Patriot Act. The United States has reached a sorry state when librarians are considered a national security threat because they won’t turn over lists of books that people are checking out and reading. The real threat to America’s freedom is the hare-brained politicians and security officials who come up with such ideas and who are ready to throw innocent people into jail if they don’t comply with their unjust laws.

War games?

"Evoking a worst-case scenario, Mr. Bush said that if extremists drove the United States out, “our allies in the region would be under greater siege by the enemies of freedom” and “early movements toward democracy in the region would be violently reversed.-- ”He castigated the Iranian government for supporting anti-American extremists in Iraq and elsewhere, and for pursuing a nuclear program that could lead to weaponry. “The Iranian regime must halt these actions,” he said
-->
The real reason that he is saying is the Bush administration will never allow the Iranian government to open an oil exchange (bourse) that trades petroleum in euros. If that were to happen, hundreds of billions of dollars would come flooding back to the United States crushing the greenback and destroying the economy. This is why Bush and Co. are planning to lead the nation to war against Iran. It is straightforward defense of the current global system and the continuing dominance of the reserve currency, the dollar. America monopolizes the oil trade. Oil is denominated in dollars. America's currency monopoly is the perfect pyramid-scheme. As long as nations are forced to buy oil in dollars, the United States can continue its profligate spending with impunity. (The dollar now accounts for 68% of global currency reserves, up from 51% just a decade ago). Even though the Bush administration has said that it will perpetuate the deficit-producing tax cuts. US has over-extended itself, it has lived beyond its income. It is living on borrowed money and borrowed time, and some day soon it's going to have to pay. The price of gas in the U.K is now $7.00 a gallon, but Americans love and worship their cars. The claim that Iran is developing nuclear weapons is a mere pretext for war.
