More wars

Countries used to go to war just for pride over some incident because they were offended or one king made a bad remark about another king. But in modern years, recent years, they go to war for commercial reasons, they're trade wars.
Nearly every one of American wars were for some kind of trade advantage or money or for territory.--Which of course were always fought under different excuses, even as far back as the Civil War.
The Civil War was supposed to be the War to free the slaves. What it really turned out to be was the war to enslave the free, because it made the Federal Government a dictatorship. When the States originally banded together they did so voluntarily and they were supposed to be able to withdraw from the club if they didn't like the other members. When the South tried to withdraw the other members picked up guns and started shooting, "You can't leave the club!"
The reason was that the North had all the industry, the South had all The agriculture, and particularly cotton which the North wanted and needed for textiles. But the South had a lot more in common with England and they had more communication, intercourse and trade with England than they had with the North.
The North wanted the South to buy machinery from her instead of from England. But when the South could get it cheaper from England of course she bought it from England, and she traded her cotton for it. But the North wanted the cotton too. The North wanted the South's market for her machinery and they needed the South's raw materials for their machines.So all that self-righteous bit over freeing the slaves, that's all a big joke! That's not what the war was fought for at all. That was the excuse given the people so they could get the people behind them and make the people willing to fight.
So that's why I say Lincoln, far from being a hero, was a TYRANT! … He started the Civil War! … So, from whence come wars? James said they come from your own lusts--and nations' lusts. ( James 4:1

Cindy Sheehan: Consider grief on this Memorial Day
By Cindy Sheehan -
Monday, May 26, 2008
Story appeared in METRO section, Page B7|
Memorial Day is a double whammy for me. You see, my son Casey was born on Memorial Day 29 years ago.When he was growing up, we would gather dozens of our friends and relatives to celebrate his birthday. Now a few of us gather at his grave in Vacaville to mourn his death and cry for the life that was stolen from him.Casey is not buried in amilitary cemetery, but there are many veterans of other wars buried in his cemetery. The flags flutter on Memorial Day as living vets from many past wars salute the flag and their fallen comrades.---

Spoiling for a fight?
The pride of national leaders is at stake, politicians are offended, the public is outraged, the military is mobilized, and without cool heads in control, countries go to war. That's especially a danger when proud, vain men like Bush and Cheney and their crowd of neoconservatives are in control, spoiling for a fight. They're like the neighborhood bullies who used to pick on me when I was little except they're supposed to be grown up and know better, and not go around picking on other nations just because they consider themselves bigger and tougher! Pray that the Lord will restrain such men of war so that we, His peacemakers, can continue to spread His love and peace far and wide.

Ehud Olmert is applying the same method. His situation is desperate. Most people in Israel do not doubt that he has received large bribes in envelopes stuffed with dollars. The Attorney General is liable to indict him any time, and this will compel him to resign.
In this, too, Olmert is the worthy pupil of his predecessor and mentor, Ariel Sharon. Sharon was up to his neck in corruption affairs. In one of them, the so-called "Greek Island affair", the Israeli millionaire David Appel paid huge sums to Sharon's son, a novice, for "advice".
It like the Pot calling kettle black! The United States has merely used so-called goodness and righteousness as a cloak for invasion and conquest, and beneath the cloak resides much hypocrisy, for America too has much blood on its hands. Beneath this cloak you see the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the millions who were killed in Vietnam and throughout Southeast Asia, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died in the first Gulf War. However, these countries have pointed out that the United States is guilty of the same, or worse.

Court Says Texas Illegally Seized Sect’s Children
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL
Published: May 23, 2008
HOUSTON — A Texas appeals court ruled on Thursday that the state had illegally seized up to 468 children from their homes at a polygamist ranch in West Texas. The decision abruptly threw the largest custody case in recent American history into turmoil.
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints members left the courthouse on Thursday after a ruling in their favor in San Angelo, Tex.

But the definition of a bad guy or a criminal can change when security becomes far more important to the world than freedom. And the media seem less apt to print their views even when they are expressed, for it's become less "politically correct" to object to security measures that are designed to "protect society".
But it's happening, little by little, as one crisis after another crops up. Terrorism and crime causes nations to link their security forces more closely. Little by little, the threads that will weave governments together into one are being woven. And when the time is right, the crisis of all crises will come to pass and the world will cry out for the man who can bring it all together and make it one, solving all these problems.

CFO explains handling of University debt
Debt instruments issued primarily to finance facility capital projects
May 21, 2008
By Kamil Dada
"With the recent U.S. economic decline, scores of colleges and universities across the nation have been facing a sharp rise in interest payments on their large debts. According to the 2007 Annual Report, Stanford currently has approximately $1.5 billion of debt outstanding.--The collapse of the auction-rate debt market forced universities to restructure millions of dollars of debt, as the interest payments doubled or in some cases tripled beyond what officials had budgeted. Stanford, too, was impacted by the collapse of the auction-rate debt market in February. According to Livingston, the University had approximately $318 million of auction-rate securities outstanding.“One of our debt instruments went from approximately three percent interest rate to eight percent within a week,” he said. The change in interest cost the University nearly $180,000.--
Ted Rudow III,MA
What is the matter with not only the U.S. government but the average American family? What is their economic condition? They spend money they don't have and they borrow. … Where do they get so much cash? How can they buy such fancy cars and big TVs and all this fancy furniture and all these things they've got? How can they afford it? They can't afford it! They buy it on credit. And they're all in debt up to their ears.
Rich people have borrowed themselves into debts that they can never repay! Poor people the same. Middle class people the same. So if the slightest little thing gets out of balance or goes off in any way, the whole thing crashes like a bunch of dominoes! And who do you suppose can jerk the rug out and make it happen so that everybody loses everything, including the government, and can't pay? Everybody loses but the ones who loaned the money and now own everything! They loaned the money on the house, now they own the house. They loaned the money on the car, now they own the car. They loaned the money on the property, now they own the property! They loaned the money on the business, now they own the business. They loaned the money on the industry, now they own the industry! They loaned the money to the government and now they own the government! Those are the facts; that's how it works!

Credit has become a drug
Credit has become the drug of choice of the modern world, far more widespread than any other. Individuals, companies and governments must have their fix of it, for they are addicted to it, and the withdrawal symptoms are too painful to endure. Life without credit means no future debt is possible, and often their present debt is so large and overwhelming that they cannot go on without another credit fix.
Like many drug users, however, they do not see that they have a problem. They’re surrounded by other users who are in similar situations. “Credit and debt are just the way of the world, a necessity, and nothing to worry about. Everyone does it and no one’s especially concerned about it. Besides, it feels good and helps make life more enjoyable. I need it. I’ve got to have it.”
Occasionally the “users,” the debtors, feel the pain of their addiction and regret what they’ve gotten themselves into, but a fresh infusion of credit brings relief and temporary surcease from the pain.

Bush 'appeasement' remark in Israel riles Obama, Dems

Email This Article
(05-16) 04:00 PDT Jerusalem - --
President Bush used a speech to the Israeli parliament on Thursday to liken those who would negotiate with "terrorists and radicals" to Nazi appeasers - a remark widely interpreted as a rebuke to Sen. Barack Obama, who has advocated greater engagement with countries like Iran and Syria.
"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals. ... We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is - the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
White House transcript
CAN THE WORLD AFFORD TO HAVE SUCH A MADMAN ON THE LOOSE WITH ATOM BOMBS IN BOTH HANDS AND REELING DRUNKENLY FROM ONE CRISIS TO ANOTHER? How much longer can the world stand this emotionally unstable near-maniac and his irrational ravings while the earth totters on the brink of his brinkmanship? Does his stooped posture and odd shuffling gait indicate an arthritic condition medicated by some drug such as cortisone which induces delusion of grandeur and similar irrational behaviour? THEY SAY HITLER WAS INSANE, but the world put up with him long enough for him to nearly annihilate Europe, North Africa and threaten America, and along with the Japanese, the Pacific and Far East. MUST WE LET THIS MODERN HITLERIAN MADMAN GO SO FAR as to raise up a new fascist American power which threatens to destroy the Earth? Must we let him even go so far in his power-jealous temper tantrums as to press the red button of atomic warfare in order to save him

The polluted atmosphere of immigration politics has produced toxic byproducts so extreme that they make a recent rebate glitch seem like a mere annoyance.
May 15th, 2008
A report by the Royal Society, Britain's premier scientific body, concludes that, as a result of the pollution, the world's oceans are probably now more acidic than they have ever been, and that even if emissions stopped now, the waters would take "tens of thousands of years to return to normal." Scientists add that, as the seas become more acidic, they will be less able to absorb carbon dioxide, causing more of it to stay in the atmosphere to speed up global warming. The report concludes that the warming is now "unequivocal" and "evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level."
Environmental changes predicted:
North America. California and the grain-producing Midwest will dry out as snows in the Rockies decrease, depriving these areas of summer water.
Australia. The Great Barrier Reef will die. On land, drought will reduce harvests.
Europe. Winter sports suffer as less snow falls in the Alps and other mountains; up to three-fifths of wildlife dies out.
Africa. Harvests could be cut by up to half in some countries by 2020, greatly increasing the threat of famine. Between 75 million and 250 million people are expected to be short of water within the next 30 years.
It's incredible what damage people have managed to do to the oceans of the world, which cover 70% of the planet's surface. Imagine! With all the pollution, chemicals and garbage that's constantly dumped and pumped into the oceans, they're getting sick and the fish are dying off in droves—or being decimated by overfishing. It's a disaster that's happening out of sight and out of mind for most people, but it's happening nonetheless.—

Jeremy Ben-Ami: Five myths on who's 'pro-Israel'
By Jeremy Ben-Ami Wednesday, May 14, 2008
"Six decades ago, my father fought alongside Menachem Begin for Israel's independence. If you'd have told him back then that politicians in the world's last superpower would be jockeying today to see who can be more "pro-Israel," he would have laughed at you.Grateful as I am for decades of U.S. friendship with Israel, I have to wonder, as the state my father helped found turns 60, just who is defining what it means to be pro-Israel in the United States these days......
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 said:
Pray for peace
Pray for the poor Palestinians who are suffering so greatly. Pray for the innocent Israelis who die or are wounded in terrorist bombings. Pray for the other Arabs, that they'll stand up for their Palestinian brethren for a change. Pray for the Americans, that they'll make the Israelis toe the line and stop the slaughter. Pray for peace, That's one reason why Palestinians are skeptical about peace treaties and agreements with Israel--nothing ever really changes very much. It just gets worse--for them, that is.

'This Queer Life'
Don't give up the fight

Fourteen weeks ago, I started writing a column, and gay came out. "Sex in the City" meets "This American Life" with a gay twist - that's how I pitched it.
Staff bought it, and in 74 years of the Spartan Daily, it's the first editor's column to have a recurring gay theme. In the 23 years of my life, it's the first time being gay has been so exhausting.......
"No. That's not OK. Good enough is not good enough. When the president of our university takes a stand against federally institutionalized homophobia, we need to rally behind him. While our university enters the most preliminary stages of planning a million-dollar campus queer center, our voices need to be heard. And if we want administration to purchase $10 unisex bathroom signs for the less than 20 single-occupant bathrooms on campus, our voices need to be loud.
You have to talk about it, and you have to say it. You have to say it out loud, and everyone has to listen, because any kind of love is fine. It's the hate you have to watch. And if they don't want to go there, we'll take them there, because "there" is real, and 10 percent of the world's population has pitched a tent - there. "If I don't 'go there,' then it's like I was never there at all," comedian Margaret Cho once said. "If we all got together and had this big too-much-information, go-there voice, if we just went and did it, that would equal power, and that power would equal change, and that change would equal a revolution."The gay bar is worth a shot. Gay blood is not bad blood. Different is not wrong.???"
Nahum's warning to Nineveh, years after Jonah, is a warning to us also: "Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid" ( Nahum 3:11 ). America is drunken with lust, drugs, violence, evil sex--and intoxicated with success and prosperity. "Thou shalt be hid" means this country will become powerless, reduced to nothing, unable to act or to solve problems. Our mortal enemies will plunder us. Society will crumble under the weight of unsolvable problems.
In Jeremiah's day, when he wouldn't quit proclaiming doom and defeat, they threw him in a dungeon. They beat him. The religious leaders and the political leaders ordered him not to utter another word of judgment. They tried to shut him up.Plagues of incurable illnesses: "The Lord shall make the pestilence [sickness] cleave unto thee...with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation" ( 28:21,22 ). "The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt...and with the scab...whereof thou canst not be healed. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment [panic] of heart" ( 28:27,28 ). "The Lord shall smite thee...with a sore botch [boil] that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head" ( 28:35 ). "The mark of AIDS is the purple blotch--the incurable boil!"

Bush bails out McCain,
but at what cost?
Tommy Wright
Issue date: 5/12/08 Section: Opinion
Tommy Wright
President Bush has come to the rescue of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign. After both major parties seemed content with leaving the Federal Election Commission powerless, the Bush Administration has decided to take action.
The Federal Election Commission is normally made up of six members, but it currently only has two. On the commission's Web site, it states that no more than three of the six commissioners can be members of the same political party. And to take action, the commission needs at least four votes from its members......
5/12/08
"When John McCain made this comment that we went to Iraq for oil, and the media gave him a complete pass..And I thought, well, clearly the media are still in love with a John McCain who did not vote for George Bush in 2000 and was an independent, a maverick, somebody who many of us had fallen in love with in the media. And so, the unmasking of John McCain has to begin immediately, because otherwise we have this huge disconnect, which is 28 percent of Americans approve of George Bush, but 48 percent of Americans say they will vote for John McCain. So it's going to take a lot of work to educate that 20 percent about John McCain."
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON
Sen. John McCain got the support of Texas pastor John Hagee, an evangelical Christian who has made support for the state of Israel a centerpiece of his ministry.Hagee endorsed McCain ,saying he did so because McCain is a pro-life, pro-Israel politician who has pledged to secure the country's borders 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.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).

Unique content, exceptional value. SUBSCRIBE NOW!She's cruel
She's been exposed in various publications that her beliefs are very strong, and she's on the wrong side of everything! She's for abortion, she's for Gay rights, she's against home schooling and she's for children's rights against their parents, 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 was going to bring the U.S.A. to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful, but very cruel woman. She might if she had enough power by that time and the people worshipped her enough!UGH!

Music today: worse or much worse?
May 9, 2008
By Ziv Shafir
".........Maybe it’s natural to write off music outside of one’s formative years. After all, our grandparent’s generation wrote off great rock’n’roll as noise pollution. But, it seems good music only comes around every other era. Although the 90s and early 2000s were great, we could live without the 80s (exempting Prince and MJ, of course.) The 70s were amazing, but the 60s needed some work. And so here we are today, in the cycle of another lackluster era of music. From what I’ve heard, we’ve got another long 10 years ahead of us.What music captures your soul? Email dirtycalstudent "at" gmail.com.

MUSIC CAN BE A BLESSING, AND YET IT CAN ALSO BE SO DANGEROUS! That's why it is so important to listen to the right kind of music. The Pavlovian Method of conditioning reflexes enables evil men to discover secrets of the hearts and minds of men in order to manipulate them for their own evil purposes. Men can be mentally conditioned to respond to a set stimuli like a series of tone signals. Almost like a telephone: You can dial a certain combination of numbers and that keys the equipment to connect one instrument with another instrument.
YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE COMPOSERS WERE INSPIRED! Wagner was sometimes inspired by the Devil, and others like Handel and Mozart, were sometimes inspired by the Lord. It's as though they were really inspired by the Lord or the Devil. Those inspired by the Devil were getting the Devil's message, if they were really tuned in.--And if the hearers are tuned in, they get the message too!
HITLER WAS ABSOLUTELY HYPNOTISED BY WAGNER'S MUSIC! He was getting the message! He was like a receiver for the message and he played the tune. He added the words and the bombs and the bullets to the tune and brought Hell on Earth!

Pat's Run attracts more than 3,000
Abstract: Even with a start time of 8 a.m., the third annual race of Pat's Run attracted more than 3,000 participants on Saturday to San Jose's Leland High School. The run is named for Pat Tillman, who is remembered for leaving behind a $3.6 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League to serve as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan, where he was tragically killed by friendly fire....

My parents are sport fanatics! My Grandfather, on my mother side, with my Great-Uncle were the first to be named "Walter Camp's All-American"in football on the West Coast in America. So from the age of five, I was in competive sports until I became a missionary in April,1972. During my teen-age years before my life was in turmoil! The only escape for me, I thought was sports. So I practiced and practiced basketball until I received few athletic scholarships included West Point but I decided to attend the University of California at Berkeley, in 1970.
The Vietnam War was going on, and Berkeley was the hot-bed of radical resistance. It also was one of the top academic schools in the United States. So for me, it was quite a change coming from very staid background. During that time, I began taking drugs and reading from mystical books,but they never satisfied my soul. I was on the honor roll and was voted first-team all-Northern California freshman in basketball, Captain and Most Valuable Player in 1971 and still hold the freshmen rebound record of 17.3 per game but still my life was empty without the Lord! I felt pressures on many sides to really put out all my time and energy towards becoming a basketball star in college and pressing toward a professional career. On the other hand, deep within my heart.
I felt that there was something wrong with all this!I felt caught between two worlds,one with the teachings of Jesus and His commandment to love thy neighbor,while in the other world, I was told to gain a near-manical desire to win and to physically punish my opponent in a defeat!
Sports really foster the spirit of competition. It's the spirit of the world‚ the "me first" spirit--do what's best for yourself, win no matter who you have to hurt or step on in order to get ahead of the next guy. That's the spirit of the world, which is just the opposite of what Jesus wants to teach people--to love your neighbor as yourself.
Of course, some form of sports is fine. It's good exercise and can be good fun. But things in the world are so different, and when athletes get to the professional level where they're being paid to win, it gets extremely competitive.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation
"Well, let me try to respond in a non-bombastic way. If you heard the whole sermon, first of all, you heard that I was quoting the ambassador from Iraq. That’s number one. But number two, to quote the Bible, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever you sow, that you also shall reap.” Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles."
Jeremiah Wright
He is right! Her cruel and unjust wars against others:
Hiroshima and Nagasaki: In August, 1945, the U.S. obliterated these two Japanese cities, killing between 120,000 and 140,000 people. History has revealed much that contradicts the rationale originally given for the first and only use of nuclear weapons against civilian populations. Eisenhower confirmed this in his memoirs, stating that weeks before Hiroshima, the Japanese had been seeking a way to surrender: "It wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing."
Vietnam: While American forces suffered the loss of 58,000 lives and 365,000 wounded, South Vietnamese military losses exceeded 1 million, and North Vietnamese losses ranged between 500,000 and 1 million. U.S. bombing in Vietnam was four times greater than the combined U.S.-British bombing of Germany in World War II. targets horrified the rest of the world!
Iraq: Cutting through the official hyperbole and noble verbiage about freedom and democracy in the Middle Eastern .Mossbacher said, "Of course it's about petroleum. Crass or not, it's oil that keeps everybody going." Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark estimates that the Gulf War killed over 150,000 Iraqi civilians, including at least 100,000 post-war deaths in the first Gulf war and now it is thought that over 1,000,000 have been killed!

by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday May 6th, 2008 9:11 AM
America was able to tax the world indirectly, through inflation. It did not enforce the direct payment of taxes like all of its predecessor empires did, but distributed instead its own fiat currency, the U.S. Dollar, to other nations in exchange for goods with the intended consequence of inflating and devaluing those dollars and paying back later each dollar with less economic goods—the difference capturing the U.S. imperial tax.
The U.S. dollar was tied to gold, so that the value of the dollar neither increased, nor decreased, but remained the same amount of gold. The Great Depression, with its preceding inflation from 1921 to 1929 and its subsequent ballooning government deficits, had substantially increased the amount of currency in circulation, and thus rendered the backing of U.S. dollars by gold impossible. This led Roosevelt to decouple the dollar from gold in 1932. The fixed value of the dollar did not allow the Americans to extract economic benefits from other countries by supplying them with dollars convertible to gold. From that point on, to sustain the American Empire and to continue to tax the rest of the world, the United States had to force the world to continue to accept ever-depreciating dollars in exchange for economic goods.
The U.S. ran out of money a long time ago. It's already bankrupt; it just doesn't know it yet! It has more debts than it has money to pay them, and its money is worth less all the time. It's "worthless" for sure, because in the end it's just paper, and the only backing it has is the faith of the people who use it, which has gone into a steep decline.
The American people have been making war and making money in their war jobs and their high salaries at the expenses of the poor Iraqi and other Mideast countries. In fact, almost all American industries, even non-war industries, are making money at the expense of the poor of other nations of the world.

Pat's Run attracts more than 3,000 Volunteers, including some old friends, show up to pay respect to Tillman Tara Duffy and Casey Jay
Issue date: 5/6/08 Section: News
Even with a start time of 8 a.m., the third annual race of Pat's Run attracted more than 3,000 participants on Saturday to San Jose's Leland High School. The run is named for Pat Tillman, who is remembered for leaving behind a $3.6 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League to serve as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan, where he was tragically killed by friendly fire.----
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
5/06/08 Tillman' mother and father said they believe the military and the government created a heroic tale about how their son died to foster a patriotic response across the country. It was a lie!
It's a spiritual thing. It's the spirit of competition and pride, proving you're better than the other guy. They do it by sheer brawn, by their own strength, which really feeds their pride. It's their idea of success. Winning means success in the world, so to win is a very big motivator. It just seems to be sort of an instinct with men especially to want to compete and to win. Other sports events, it's almost like an extension of those human desires to compete and win. That's why some people get so into it, because they can relate to that drive to compete. The physical exertion, and then finally the goal, is exhilarating for some people
Man at his best, which is his worst. WAR. His most destructive worst, his greatest strength, his greatest genius, his greatest inventive power and his greatest spirit, patriotism or whatever you want to call it, is used for war and a competitive spirit against others who are doing the same. His physical prowess, his mechanical ingenuity, his tactical genius and his indomitable spirit. This physical prowess, his mechanical ingenuity, his tactical genius and his indomitable spirit.
See how this competitive sports thing has been the final stages of every great civilization and empire. What young men does the media glorify and glamorize the most? Is it the athletes? No, they're about second. Is it the scholars? No they're probably about third. But the ones it builds memorials for and commemorates on special days and glamorizes as the greatest heroes of all time are its most murderous war-mongering soldiers.

Students stage anti-war rally
Activists protest Iraq war on anniversary of Bush’s speech
May 2, 2008
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Around 60 students, faculty and community members rallied Thursday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech, when the president made a dramatic landing on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln to declare that “major combat operations in Iraq have ended.”
The White House admitted Wednesday that it had “paid a price” for the banner, which has come to symbolize U.S. mismanagement of the war.
That was certainly the case yesterday evening, as the protestors marched from White Plaza to Hoover Tower bearing signs and chanting anti-war slogans. There, Amanda Gelender ‘09 stood on the Tower steps and reenacted the Bush speech, drawing raucous laughter and applause from the gathering.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Ted Rudow III,MA
Students of how the Bush administration led the nation into the Iraq war can now go online to browse a comprehensive database of top officials' statements before the invasion (www.publicintegrity.org), connecting the dots between hundreds of claims, mostly discredited since then, linking Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda or warning that he possessed forbidden weapons.
Researchers Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith say their work has documented "at least 935 false statements" on hundreds of occasions, particularly that Iraq had unconventional weapons, links to Al Qaeda, or both.
The database shows how even after the invasion, when a consensus emerged that the prewar intelligence assessments were flawed, administration officials occasionally suggested that the weapons might still be found.
There were 935 lies? It's hard to believe there were so few! Bush and Cheney and their crew lied day after day, week after week, month after month, and the media flooded the U.S. and the world with their lies about weapons of mass destruction--which they claimed they knew the specific amounts and locations of--with lies about Iraq producing atomic bombs, with lies about Iraqi drones that could carry bombs and chemicals all the way to the U.S, on and on and on!
It's disgusting that Bush could lie his way into the Iraq War, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the death of 4,000 American soldiers, not to mention the tens of thousands wounded on both sides, and not suffer any consequences for it! Congress hasn't impeached him--after all, they lie as much as he does--and the American people are either ignorant, apathetic, powerless, or figure they can't do anything about the whole affair, so they don't even try.
Well, I'll tell you, Bush and his cronies will suffer the consequences one of these days when they have to face the Lord and explain themselves, and lies and excuses won't work with Him!

Middle East conflicts spark fiery discussion
'Teach-in' at Student Union invites arguments, viewpoints on region's crises
Tommy Wright and John Ellis Issue

Section: News
Media Credit: Luke Cunningham
Emad Yahya talks about the U.S. involvement in Iraq and guarantees that none of the presidential candidates who might take office will reduce the number of troops in Iraq below 100,000 after two terms in office.
Perspectives clashed Tuesday in the Engineering Auditorium when speakers gathered to lecture on Middle Eastern issues, including the war in Iraq and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Each speaker at the "teach-in" delved into the controversial topics and presented information that was suited to their arguments. David Meir-Levi, a history lecturer at SJSU who taught in Jerusalem in the 1960s and '70s, said Israel offered to give back land taken from Palestinians and Arab nations in exchange for peace, but it was always met with refusal and conflict.
"When a group refuses peace, then pressure is needed," Meir-Levi said.
Salem Ajluni, an SJSU alumnus who served as a United Nations economist in the Palestinian territories, said the Oslo Accords in 1993, agreements which created the Palestinian Authority to self govern the semi-autonomous group, allowed Israel to no longer be responsible for Palestinians.----

Obama supporters canvass Democratic primaries
May 1, 2008
By Alan Guo
Although the California primary is long over, a few students from the Stanford community are still directly engaged in the ongoing nomination process of the Democratic Party, particularly Obama supporters.
Three students left campus this week to work on the Obama campaign in Indiana: Jonathan Jourdane ‘08, Sean Augenstein and Dan Berkenstock, both graduate students in Aeronautics and Astronautics.
In the week prior to the Pennsylvania primary, six students flew out to participate in the Obama campaign effort there. Angelina Cardona ‘11 and Sarahi Padilla ‘11 shared their experience canvassing in Pennsylvania with The Daily.

"Well, let me try to respond in a non-bombastic way. If you heard the whole sermon, first of all, you heard that I was quoting the ambassador from Iraq. That’s number one. But number two, to quote the Bible, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever you sow, that you also shall reap.” Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles."

Ambassador criticizes U.S. action in Middle East
April 30, 2008

A key voice in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process visited Stanford Tuesday night as part of a speaking tour of American universities.
Jeff Keacher Palestine Liberation Organization Ambassador to the U.S. Afif Safieh spoke in Kresge Auditorium last night, criticizing U.S. President George W. Bush both for his “neo-conservative ideology” and for allowing Israel “too much leeway” in the Middle East peace process.
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Ambassador to the United States Afif Safieh spoke at Kresge Auditorium in an event presented by the Coalition for Justice in the Middle East (CJME). The event was co-sponsored by the Organization of Arab Students in Stanford and Students Confronting Apartheid by Israel.------“I believe, Mr. President, that you are badly advised and poorly surrounded, and I sincerely hope that you will unburden yourself of the shallow and belligerent neo-conservative ideology and the delirious Christian fundamentalist theology,” Barhoum read aloud in Safieh’s words. “My understanding of the Christian faith is that Christ has never left us and that there is no need to support unquestioningly Israel’s territorial appetite to accelerate His return.”
Israel dismissed as "not serious" on Friday a Hamas proposal for a six-month truce in the Gaza Strip, where United Nations agencies have suspended aid distribution due to the Israeli siege and warned that shortages hurt the peace process."Unfortunately, this appears not to be serious at all," government spokesman Mark Regev said after the Islamist movement that controls Gaza told Egypt on Thursday that it agreed to implement a cease-fire."
The Lord only gave the country to the Jews on certain conditions--you can read all about them, principally in Leviticus and Deuteronomy--and that was, if they loved Him and obeyed His prophets and His kings, etc.--which they seldom ever did--so He took it away from them a lot of times because of disobedience.
So God doesn't own the Jews Eretz Israel at all. He doesn't even owe them one square inch of it. They don't deserve it. But they've come back on the strength of all those promises--well, I shouldn't say actually the strength of them, but just as they excuses is making that therefore it's Biblical and they should have it. The Christians are backing them up. Not just the Christians of Lebanon and Israel, but the Christians of the World!--Particularly the Evangelical Fundamentalist Christians who follow the Scofield rot!

Editor - I have held my breath for Sen. Barack Obama, hoping that the bigots and racists would not come out of the woodwork. How ironic it is to think that the man who may yet bring down the Illinois senator may prove to be a black man.NICK W. OZIER
Comment:
"Well, let me try to respond in a non-bombastic way. If you heard the whole sermon, first of all, you heard that I was quoting the ambassador from Iraq. That’s number one. But number two, to quote theBible, “Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever you sow, that you also shall reap.” Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles."

Making noise to end the silence?

The leader for the Rainbow Sprinkle team announced the right answer for one of the questions in Queer Jeopardy, held in the Campus Village RAC Room on Wednesday.
With a loud collaborative scream, a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender SJSU students and staff broke their silence. They had been silent all day as a part of the observed Day of Silence on Tuesday.
As part of Breaking the Silence Week at SJSU - a time to bring attention to harassment that keeps lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people quiet - a mixer was held at Campus Village Building B.
The Day of Silence was created by students at the University of Virginia in 1996, according to the Day of Silence Web site.

How much is the Lord going to stand of this filth? Of all the deceits of the Devil, to call them "gay," as if to imply they're "happy"! They've even discussed having role models in the gay community, people you should look up to & emulate. How disgusting & sickening! It's absolute demon-possession!
Sodomites even have gay churches to bless their unions & celebrate their love together, to ask God's blessing on their union! How horrible! How blasphemous!
Some of this homosexuality came in through the Pentecostals, who evidently got into demon-possession when they were seeking the gifts of the Spirit. They wanted the Holy Spirit & some of the gifts so badly that they would take any spirit, just so they could speak in tongues.
They're trying to do everything they can to legitimise it or even have non-homosexual people laud it & acclaim it, sanctified Sodomy. Legitimised Sodomy, it's blasphemy against the Bible!

Sovereignty of Syria?
http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/04/28/18495464.php
Syria
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Monday Apr 28th, 2008 11:27 AM
The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog group, Mohamed ElBaradei, has criticized the United States for withholding intelligence that it says showed the construction of a nuclear reactor in Syria that Israel bombed in September.
The United States government has not condemned this bombing. We are signatories to the Charter of the United Nations. We are a permanent member of the Security Council. And it is our responsibility to ensure that the sovereignty of member nations is protected. And what occurred in September of last year was that the sovereignty of Syria was violated by Israel in a preemptive, unprovoked attack against a site that was not in any way representative of a threat to Israel or a violation of international law.
When people fail to pay attention to the truth they are apt to become strongly deluded and believe a lie instead. This has been the favorite trick of despots and dictators throughout the ages. They get people’s minds off their problems and needs and altercations by creating a much more frightening bugaboo, such as an external war or fear of their neighbors, or causing them to focus their fears.

Russia to say that they will stand by Iran

David Ignatius: The Afghanistan surge
By David Ignatius -
Monday, April 28, 2008
For many Americans who are weary of Iraq, Afghanistan is the "good war" where the U.S. and its European allies are destroying what's left of al-Qaida and the Taliban. That view certainly holds with the Democratic presidential candidates, who talk of adding more troops in Afghanistan next year even as they pull troops out of Iraq.But "bad" Iraq has more in common with "good" Afghanistan than people sometimes realize. Both have evolved into classic counterinsurgencies with a "clear and hold" strategy for providing security; both show the benefits of a military surge; and both run the risk of failure because of weak and corrupt host governments.....

Russia to say that they will stand by Iran
Haven't Bush's threatenings caused Russia to say that they will stand by Iran if it comes under attack by the U.S.? Isn't Bush's misguided, belligerent foreign policy forcing Russia to shake off the dust of her former defeat and rise again maybe even faster than she would have otherwise?
If he pushes for war and special executive police powers before the end of his term, it'll be a very difficult time for people everywhere, but especially for the poor people in the Mideast. It's beyond words, beyond description. But it has to get worse before it can get better. The world has to fall into gross darkness before the coming of the light. It has to happen before the End comes. We know how it'll all end, of course. In the Last Days Iran will join with Russia and other nations in attacking Israel ( Ezekiel 38:5 ). They'll remain bitter enemies till the very end!

Who they conspired with them:
Do you think the world will ever find out the truth? No, they won't.
The power that be won't let them. They'll find some scapegoat to blame the whole thing on, but they'll never let the truth come to light that they were really behind it--that there are even those within the U.S. government who are aligned with the power that be who supported it, that the powers planned and executed this attack.
This whole thing is on Osama bin Laden. They'll just blame him and declare all-out war on Afghanistan, or attack some other poor Muslim or Arab nation. They need a quick and easy fix to this problem, so they'll probably just go after someone they've named already and blame the whole thing on him and try to wipe him out.
The warmongers will pay. Look to hear of those who lead the charge to war becoming terribly afflicted in one form or another. Bush will be humbled. But you must also remember that he is a man who sincerely believes that he is doing the right thing.?

The greenback pales
Even the most respected economists are viewing the future with alarm as we face the most dangerous world economic collapse in history, with the United States leading the world into total financial disaster.
Harry Brown wrote the best-seller, “You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis” and he is storing a year’s supply of food for the crisis.
He said people will abandon their paper money for more valuable mediums of exchange. He says the big bust really began in ’73 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.
This “greenback,” or the American dollar, only exists if you believe it exists. For those who worship it, it not only exists but it is their god, and it rules over them and controls them and devours them and destroys them, because they worship other gods.

'Beginnings of Marathons' Obama-Clinton slugfest stretches into 13th round
David ZugnoniIssue date: 4/9/08 Section: Opinion
David Zugnoni How do you think a panhandler feels after he's spent all day asking people on the street for a cigarette, and he finally gets one; he's got it in his mouth, ready to light it up; he can taste the nicotine, and then - he accidentally drops it in a puddle? The same way many of us Democrats are going to feel if our guy (or gal) fails to win the U.S. presidency in November"....
Unfortunately, Sen. Barack Obama the use of military force should not be taken off the table when dealing with Iran, which he called "a threat to all of us." Speaking before a pro-Israel crowd at a downtown hotel, Obama also repeated his call for a phased pullout of U.S. troops from Iraq and strongly backed a strong U.S. relationship with Israel.
This is sad and I withdraw my support for him!
Ron Paul is a good and godly man, with good principles and good stands on important matters. His beliefs resonate with those who are like-minded, and they use his campaign to promote these issues. His supporters are happy that these issues can at last get more coverage and publicity, and that he unlike other politicians, is not one to compromise and tone down his beliefs. He has been solid in his commitment to them.
He will not be elected president, but be encouraged that he has brought some of the issue that many believe in back into the public eye. In publicizing and promoting his beliefs, he does so for some many. His stand and the supporters who have rallied to him also demonstrate that there remain some in the U.S. who think along the same lines you do, that there is a good and godly remnant who are not indifferent to the way things are, and who would like to return the U.S. to what it was many years ago.

Rational people?

The U.S. ran out of money a long time ago. It's already bankrupt; it just doesn't know it yet! It has more debts than it has money to pay them, and its money is worth less all the time. It's "worthless" for sure, because in the end it's just paper, and the only backing it has is the faith of the people who use it, which has gone into a steep decline.
Some politicians do get it, of course, and understand that constant excessive spending and astronomical debts aren't good, but they figure that since the U.S. has gotten away with it so far, it can just continue to do so indefinitely. Besides, they figure that when it's time to pay the piper, they won't be around anyway, so they might as well charge it now and let someone else worry about paying it!
You can just hardly believe that seemingly rational people, national leaders no less, can think there'll be no consequences for their actions, no repercussions for destroying their currency and their economy! Russia and China may have lost the Cold War, but it looks like they're winning the peace.

Rational people?

The U.S. ran out of money a long time ago. It's already bankrupt; it just doesn't know it yet! It has more debts than it has money to pay them, and its money is worth less all the time. It's "worthless" for sure, because in the end it's just paper, and the only backing it has is the faith of the people who use it, which has gone into a steep decline.
Some politicians do get it, of course, and understand that constant excessive spending and astronomical debts aren't good, but they figure that since the U.S. has gotten away with it so far, it can just continue to do so indefinitely. Besides, they figure that when it's time to pay the piper, they won't be around anyway, so they might as well charge it now and let someone else worry about paying it!

Future with alarm
Even the most respect economists are viewing the future with alarm as we face the most dangerous world economic collapse in history, with the United States leading the world into total financial disaster! Harry Brown who wrote the best seller, "You Can Profit from a Monetary Crisis" and he is storing a year's supply of food for the crisis! He said people will abandon their paper money for more valuable mediums of exchange. He says the big bust really began in '73 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. This "greenback," or the American dollar, it only exists if you believe it exists. For those who worship it, it not only exists but it is their god, and it rules over them and controls them and devours them and destroys them, because they worship other gods.

Immigration topic stirs conference at SJSU
Abstract:
San Jose State University hosted "From Strawberries to Software," an immigration conference, in at the Crowne Plaza Hotel downtown Thursday and Friday.
The conference began with a reception and dinner in the Barrett Ballroom, followed by introduction speeches from SJSU President Don Kassing and Tim Hegstrom, dean of the College of Social Sciences....

Ted Rudow III,MA 2CH.6:32-33
"Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but who comes from a far country for the sake of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm, when they come and pray in this temple; "then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name."
This have always been open to these Greeks and other Gentiles throughout all the Old Testament Era included the Muslims. What good have you ever heard from the West about the Arabs? Honestly now, how much good have you ever heard about the Arabs, even before they became famous for their oil? These Gentile believers amongst the Jews were called "proselytes," which is proof that the Kingdom was always open to them that believed, regardless of nationality or racial background, that these things had absolutely nothing to do with their place and that there had been no change at all in God's plan to save "whosoever among you feareth God"
Nothing had changed in the eyes or the mind of God! He had only further opened the eyes of believers to the truth that "God is no respecter of persons", "and the times of this ignorance God winked at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent."

The clash on Iraq
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Crew lied
Bush and Cheney and their crew lied day after day, week after week, month after month, and the media flooded the U.S. and the world with their lies about weapons of mass destruction which they claimed they knew the specific amounts and locations of with lies about Iraq producing atomic bombs, with lies about Iraqi drones that could carry bombs and chemicals all the way to the U.S, on and on and on!
It's disgusting that Bush could lie his way into the Iraq War, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the death of 4,000 American soldiers, not to mention the tens of thousands wounded on both sides, and not suffer any consequences for it! Congress hasn't impeached him after all, they lie as much as he does and the American people are either ignorant, apathetic, powerless, or figure they can't do anything about the whole affair, so they don't even try.

Students follow torch in San Francisco
Olympic procession draws protesters of Beijing games
April 10, 2008
By Shelby Martin
"Busloads of Stanford students headed to San Francisco on Wednesday, but spectators and protesters alike were unable to see the Olympic torch. At the last minute, the procession’s route was cut in half as the torch was taken on an alternate route, and the waterfront closing ceremonies were canceled.----
Ted Rudow III,MA
IS the Arab Euro-dollar really a good subject for movie banter? Somehow, somebody thought so. In ''Rollover,''(1981) Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda play a banker and a board chairman who confer incessantly about financial matters at the multi-multi-megabuck level. A talk about Arab Euro-dollars crisis ensues as Arab's buy up US debt and then dump them in a free fall. That didn't happen in reality but China is on the brink of doing that!
Prior to 1980, the United States was a net exporter, selling more goods overseas than it imported. But over the last 25 years, the situation has reversed. The trade deficit today has grown to record levels (now almost 6% of gross domestic product), with the biggest import-export imbalances coming from China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. But what has changed over the last 25 years is that foreign governments, rather than U.S. citizens, have been buying this U.S. debt (in the form of Treasurys). Now, approximately half of this country's debt is held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
Like the United States now with China; claiming to be China's friend while China's civil rights activist, Hu Jia, sentenced to prison for seven months. He managed to use the Internet and telephone to chronicle the harassment of dissidents in his country before he was hauled off to jail last December. Neutrality is treachery and the neutral is a traitor! So even the US is using this as a cover to get their friendship and money, while betraying us to our enemies.

Fruits of war?

Editorial: Obama, Clinton see a way for U.S. to exit Iraq
You have to read between the lines in their Tuesday testimony at U.S. Senate hearings, but according to Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker, the reality in Iraq remains grim. There have been some gains, but they are "uneven" as well as "fragile and reversible."...
Fruits of war?
Vietnam suffered so much: two decades of war with the U.S. that left two million Vietnamese dead, a million missing, the countryside littered with toxic chemicals like Agent Orange that have caused thousands of birth defects, and bombs that still blow up and kill or maim poor farmers and villagers, men and women and children. That's not to mention the state of Vietnam's infrastructure and economy when the war was over, which the U.S. promised to help reconstruct but never did. But then the U.S. always prefers to blow things up rather than reconstruct them. In Iraq, the reconstruct bidding process has been criticized for including only a handful of companies, some with substantial political clout and none of which is based outside the United States. There was so much death and destruction and carnage 58,000 Americans were killed as well, and 150,000 were wounded and all for what? To stop communism? And in Iraq, stop terrorist after we killed almost 1,000,000 in the Gulf two wars and have left millions of refugees! Vietnam today is as capitalist as it is communist, with ads for cars, cell phones and credit cards filling the streets, as well as lots of foreign businessmen eager to set up new factories and most of their exports go to the U.S.!

There was so much death and destruction and carnage—58,000 Americans were killed as well, and 150,000 were wounded—and all for what? To stop communism?

Trudy Rubin: Iran is crucial to any Iraq solution

It's too bad Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker have to schlepp all the way from Baghdad this week to brief Congress.We all know that their testimony will add little and change little.President Bush won't shift course before his term ends. Troops will draw down some, but not below pre-surge levels, and our military will remain overextended. The possibility of shaping a different Iraq policy won't emerge until a new president is elected. ------

Bush and his so-called Christianity
Bush and his reactionary right are pushing the world to the brink of another war, potentially far bigger than the last one, and we haven't seen the last of him yet. He has only months left as in the White House, but he can do a lot of damage in those last months. Bush and his so-called Christianity is as far from Christ and real Christianity as darkness is from the light. Bush's testimony is so contrary to real Christian values that he is working against them, and by doing so is hastening the advance of an anti-Christ world and solidifying anti-Christ sentiment within the same world. By alienating the world through his violent, selfish, and careless policies, Bush is doing more to further the agenda than he is to further the cause of Christ. The depth of his delusion is beyond words; it's beyond description. God help the similarly deluded masses across the United States who are following him.

Paul Krugman: The world food crisis
By Paul Krugman -
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Story appeared in EDITORIALS section, Page B7
These days you hear a lot about the world financial crisis. But there's another world crisis under way – and it's hurting a lot more people. I'm talking about the food crisis.Over the past few years the prices of wheat, corn, rice and other basic foodstuffs have doubled or tripled, with much of the increase taking place just in the last few months. High food prices dismay even relatively well-off Americans, but they're truly devastating in poor countries, where food often accounts for more than half a family's spending....
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hunger will stalk the world
The poor suffer most. "We're concerned that we are facing the perfect storm for the world's hungry," said Josette Sheeran, executive director of the World Food Program, in a telephone interview. "High food costs, and high gasoline costs involved in transporting it." Hunger will stalk the world and will affect rich nations and poor nations alike, for men have misplaced their priorities. They have turned from Him to worship at the altars of science, of materialism, of excess, and of selfishness. And common men have turned from the pursuit of godliness to the pursuit of money, from a worship of Him to chasing after money and all that it can do for them. Meanwhile, the cries of the poor and needy, the hungry, destitute and poverty-stricken, rise day by day.

IS the Arab Euro-dollar really a good subject for movie banter? Somehow, somebody thought so. In ''Rollover,''(1981) Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda play a banker and a board chairman who confer incessantly about financial matters at the multi-multi-megabuck level.
A talk about Arab Euro-dollars crisis ensues as Arab's buy up US debt and then dump them in a free fall. That didn't happen in reality but China is on the brink of doing that!
Prior to 1980, the United States was a net exporter, selling more goods overseas than it imported. But over the last 25 years, the situation has reversed. The trade deficit today has grown to record levels (now almost 6% of gross domestic product), with the biggest import-export imbalances coming from China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. But what has changed over the last 25 years is that foreign governments, rather than U.S. citizens, have been buying this U.S. debt (in the form of Treasurys). Now, approximately half of this country's debt is held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
Like the United States now with China; claiming to be China's friend while China's civil rights activist, Hu Jia, sentenced to prison for seven months. He managed to use the Internet and telephone to chronicle the harassment of dissidents in his country before he was hauled off to jail last December.

While they reject and condemn the pure, simple, they readily accept the absolutely abnormal and perverted relationship of in the filthy habit of anal sex of the homosexuals--or as God called them, the sodomites--and which the Mosaic Law condemns with such fury.Who now today are cloaked with the modern, legitimate sexual term of "homosexuals."
Even many churches today are accepting the sodomites and legalizing the so-called "marriages" of "men with men, working that which is unseemly" ( Rom.1:27 ), which God said would result in the affliction of their own bodies, God's curses of diseases such as AIDS.And if there were ever any people who are self-righteous, it is the sodomites!--Brazenly bragging about their sodomy and demanding recognition and privileges and government benefits.
If "to the pure all things are pure" and "all things are lawful unto me," and if, under this Law of grace and Love, extramarital sex and all of these other things are lawful, then where do things like sodomy fit in? If you are truly pure and loving, you wouldn't do such things, because they're definitely not good for you physically or spiritually, and they're hurtful. Just because "all things are lawful" unto us doesn't mean that we can go around murdering or killing or torturing people! That's not love!

San Francisco was born on gold and greed, during the California Gold Rush, and the old city died in the quake and the fire. Thank God it did, for it was one of the wickedest cities on Earth! San Francisco, the old city was gone, as well as much of its evil.
Later on the 1960' and 1970',San Francisco became the mecca of hippiedom, where thousands of lost and wandering young people came to "turn on, tune in, and drop out.But, as often happens, the Gospel divides the sheep from the goats, and the goats began to multiply.
San Francisco changed from the city of peace and love to the city of unclean sex and sodomy as the goats not only rejected our message but rejected the Lord and His message, and even that of love between two sexes. Now it's a city full of homosexuals and lesbians, and often very militant ones at that, who hate those who are "straight."
So San Francisco is again ripe for God's judgments, like Sodom and Gomorrah of old. Having known the light and the truth and having rejected it and despised it, their time is "always ready" for judgment (John 7:6).

Is that so? OK, I guess you're free to speak your mind.
My turn: How is this lifestyle making the world, or America, a better place? Any chance we might go distinct if we all embrace what you promote? And finally, (hint, hint) what does your mother and father have to say about all of this?

China our friend?
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Monday Apr 7th, 2008 2:00 PM
IS the Arab Euro-dollar really a good subject for movie banter? Somehow, somebody thought so. In ''Rollover,''(1981) Kris Kristofferson and Jane Fonda play a banker and a board chairman who confer incessantly about financial matters at the multi-multi-megabuck level.
A talk about Arab Euro-dollars crisis ensues as Arab's buy up US debt and then dump them in a free fall. That didn't happen in reality but China is on the brink of doing that!
Prior to 1980, the United States was a net exporter, selling more goods overseas than it imported. But over the last 25 years, the situation has reversed. The trade deficit today has grown to record levels (now almost 6% of gross domestic product), with the biggest import-export imbalances coming from China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. But what has changed over the last 25 years is that foreign governments, rather than U.S. citizens, have been buying this U.S. debt (in the form of Treasurys). Now, approximately half of this country's debt is held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
Like the United States now with China; claiming to be China's friend while China's civil rights activist, Hu Jia, sentenced to prison for seven months. He managed to use the Internet and telephone to chronicle the harassment of dissidents in his country before he was hauled off to jail last December. Neutrality is treachery and the neutral is a traitor! So even the US is neutral nation in the world is using this as a cover to get their friendship and money, while betraying us to our enemies.

Andres Oppenheimer: Trade rhetoric
By Andres Oppenheimer -
Saturday, April 5, 2008 SANTIAGO, Chile --
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who seem to be competing over who is the fiercest critic of the U.S. free-trade deals with Mexico and other Latin American countries, should pay a visit to this South American capital. It would only take them a few minutes to realize how wrong they are.They would only need to walk out of their hotels and look at the traffic on the streets to see the Jeep Cherokees, Ford Explorers and other U.S.-made cars that have become increasingly visible in Chile since the Jan. 1, 2004, start of the U.S.-Chile free trade agreement.....
Saturday, April 5, 2008
Their wealth
The overall situation for the people in South and Central America and the Dominican Republic is characterized by high levels of poverty and a growing gap between the rich and poor a gap that is also widening in the United States. Trade is vitally important to the development of these countries. However, a recent joint statement of Central American and U.S.Catholic bishops observed that trade is about more than economics; it is about people's lives and livelihoods.
The trade rules that make up the South and Central American Free Trade Agreement severely limit the ability of these countries to use the very tools that the United States used in the past (and still uses) to built and maintain our competitive economy.She refuses to surrender her wealth to the poor of the World, refuses to give, but is selfishly luxuriating in all kinds of extravagance, opulencea and luxuries--$20,000 bathtubs, $250,000 automobiles that guzzle the gas like mechanical drunkards, gorging themselves with food and throwing half of it away, wasting over one-half of the World's priceless resources while millions are starving!

Marie Cocco: Hillary Clinton won't quit

Hillary' "vast right-wing conspiracy"
Hillary Clinton has stated that there is a "vast right-wing conspiracy" pursuing an agenda of Clinton bashing for personal power and profit.She is right about the conspiracy. She is right about the pursuit of power and profit. She is wrong about where it originates. Bill Clinton, a Quigley student, Rhodes Scholar, is following the Quigley blueprint. It wasn't sent to me in the vast right-wing conspiracy newsletter. It is in the book, "Tragedy and Hope". Who better to know than Bill, one of their own. There you have it in their own words. Now you have this confirmation from their own mouth, which they'll deny, of course, just like they do the Protocols. We were really going to do such a thing, they'll say,we'd certainly never publish a book on it, or allow one to published on it. Well, if you don't believe they're doing such a thing and youdon't believe the book, just look around at the evidence that surrounds you, which is getting more and more obvious every day !

Richard Holbrooke: The longest war
Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Kurds
Kurds live in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria but they have no physical nation to call their own. As a result, many have become estranged from each other, integrated into the mainstream of their respective societies and some don't even speak Kurdish. All in this mountainous territory. They should have a country to themselves really. And as soon as this war began between Iraq and Iran, the Kurds went wild. So Iraq at one time was having so much trouble with the Kurds, they were really getting dangerous. I think there are about four million Kurds, something very close to a million in each of these four countries. The question of an independent Kurdish state remains open. For the most part, Kurds in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria today are not talking about independence, but rather about equal civil rights and the need to establish federated political states.

Kurds want their rights
Editor,
Kurds live in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria — but they have no physical nation to call their own. As a result, many have become estranged from each other, integrated into the mainstream of their respective societies — and some don’t even speak Kurdish. All in this mountainous territory. They should have a country to themselves really. And as soon as this war began between Iraq and Iran, the Kurds went wild. So Iraq at one time was having so much trouble with the Kurds, they were really getting dangerous. I think there are about four million Kurds, something very close to a million in each of these four countries. The question of an independent Kurdish state remains open.
