“World leaders urge Greece to wield spending axe”
April 30, 2010
Unstable global financial markets, waves of bankruptcy, deepening unemployment, economic busts, markets plunging, collapsing consumer confidence, banking systems crashing “it does not seem that there is any place on earth immune from the financial crisis.” Can someone save the world from a global economic meltdown? Who has the wisdom to deal with the crisis? As economies crumble, poverty soars, and financial gloom spreads like wildfire, one thing is certain: Never before has there been such a need for someone to step up to the world’s economic helm. The repercussions of economic globalization are bigger than anyone ever imagined. The effect that one nation’s financial who have on others and ultimately the rest of the world is unprecedented. There’s a need for someone to man the controls, someone who can rescue the world from further turmoil. Who will be able to rescue the world from this mess Where have all the leaders gone? Who is capable? The capitalistic financiers of Europe have got a whole lot invested in this America, and they don’t want to lose it. The European money boys are left holding her bag full of fewer dollars. If they keep trying to support her, they’re going to go bankrupt! The infamous global financial system cryptically spoken of in the Bible’s book of Revelation as the “Mark of the Beast” without which no one will be able to buy or sell is coming closer to inception every day. Crises like this current one make people yearn for the economic stability that the framers of this new system will proclaim as their aim. The value of the new digital money will be guaranteed, but will come with a price, and that is your allegiance to the global regime that backs it. Your money may seem safe, but it will cost you as much as your soul.

Cheney's oil connections
Editor,
The oil well spewing crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico didn't have a remote-control shut-off switch used in two other major oil-producing nations as last-resort protection against underwater spills.
The lack of the device, called an acoustic switch, could amplify concerns over the environmental impact of offshore drilling after the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig last week.
Cheney's energy task force — the secretive one he wouldn't say much about publicly — decided that the switches, which cost $500,000, were too much a burden on the industry. But then again, maybe they are not. Regulatory decisions have consequences all the time, and the people who made them should be asked to justify their decisions in a democracy. Halliburton is involved, too.
The Los Angeles Times reports that "BP contracted Dick Cheney's old company to cement the deepwater drill hole."
Cheney himself corrupts the very foundation of government itself by illegally boring into the private affairs of its citizens and scandalously destroying their personal freedoms, while at the same time he tries to hide his evil-doing with hush money, colossal cover-up, and the most flagrant whitewashing in Washington White House history as it is now born out.

Exhibit marks Kent State University massacre anniversary
Abstract:
Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the Kent State University massacre.
About 20 people attended an opening ceremony commemorating the university massacre and "The Art of Protest" exhibit on display in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Library.
The ceremony was to commemorate the massacre, which took place in 1970, said Dannelle Moon, associate librarian....
The Kent State massacre occurred, when National Guardsmen shot & killed four students demonstrating against the Vietnam War. They was also beginning to show a bias from Left to Right by tough, inexorable, prosecution with severity against the youth of America in everything from minor drug offenses to conspiracy to overthrow the Government or commit violence and riots while permitting their Rightist murderers to go free in such atrocious cases as Jackson State, etc.
The ridiculousness of the prosecution of Father Berrigan and his associates for conspiracy just because they discussed what they'd like to do to the Government as a protest against Nixon warmongering policies really capped the climax! Like Kent State and Chicago, Ruby Ridge and Waco have become code words for government aggression. "They" without an antecedent usually means government officials, politicians, journalists and others who are part of the power elite. Bureaucrats are called "public masters" instead of public servants.

How's That Economic
Recovery
Thing Working Out?
A conversation with
Jack Rasmus, Ph.D.
Poltical Economist / Writer for Z Magazine
Author of Epic Recession: Prelude to Global Depression
Jack Rasmus returns to Other Voices to discuss his just-published new book, Epic Recession: Prelude to Global Depression. The book reveals the deep origins of the current economic crisis, explains why current Obama policies have failed, and offers an alternative, comprehensive 28 point program for economic recovery.
Jack explains how the current crisis is similar to prior Epic Recessions in the U.S., in 1907-1914 and 1929-1931, and quite unlike 'normal' recessions since 1945. Jack describes how the current crisis is neither a full-blown depression nor a short-lived contraction followed by a swift return to growth, but a crisis followed by a period of extended stagnation that may yet slip into a classic depression.
Developing a new theory of its causes and evolution that departs from mainstream economic analysis, Jack argues that preventing a possible descent into depression will require a basic restructuring the U.S. economy through a massive job creation program, a nationalizing of residential housing and consumer credit markets, a fundamental restructuring of the tax system, a new type of Federal Reserve and banking structure, and measures that restore a long term redistribution of income.

This oligarchy consists of six megabanks Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. They have assets equivalent to 60 percent of our gross national product.
And to put this in perspective, in the mid-1990s these six banks or their predecessors, since there have been a lot of mergers, had less than 20 percent. Their assets were less than 20 percent of the gross national product.
They did sorceries to take a lot of these loans and package them up into very complex "collateralized debt obligations" and other risky "financial derivatives" and then sell them to others as investments in the hopes the loans would one day be repaid. Banks and other investors all over the world bought and sold these things that they knew probably had no real value. Does this sound mad to you? It did to many at first, but somehow ? like the old tale of the emperor's new clothes ? enough investors and financiers thought they were exquisite, and eventually nearly everyone began to think it was economic wisdom.

The Tyrants Are in Charge
ALLENDE brought about his peaceful government in Chile by ballot, not bullet. But, you see, both Marx and Lenin taught that you'll never get the rich to give up their riches and share their wealth willingly, therefore you cannot legislate it. You cannot just pass laws to get them to do it, because they won't stand for it.
But the rich will nearly always fight and die for their riches. The rich would rather die than lose their wealth. That's why they fight their wars and send their own sons to die for them! So anyone trying to bring about a peaceful, nonviolent communist or socialist revolution is just wishfully thinking! They allow the socialists to merely pass laws and vote their riches out of existence! They will use their power and wealth to buy the military and pay them to defend them. This is why so many Fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power.

ALLENDE brought about his peaceful government in Chile by ballot, not bullet. But, you see, both Marx and Lenin taught that you'll never get the rich to give up their riches and share their wealth willingly, therefore you cannot legislate it. You cannot just pass laws to get them to do it, because they won't stand for it.
But the rich will nearly always fight and die for their riches. The rich would rather die than lose their wealth. That's why they fight their wars and send their own sons to die for them! So anyone trying to bring about a peaceful, nonviolent communist or socialist revolution is just wishfully thinking! They allow the socialists to merely pass laws and vote their riches out of existence! They will use their power and wealth to buy the military and pay them to defend them. This is why so many Fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power.

The European money boys
by Ted Rudow IIII,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Thursday Apr 29th, 2010
Unstable global financial markets, waves of bankruptcy, deepening unemployment, economic busts, markets plunging, collapsing consumer confidence, banking systems crashing—it does not seem that there is any place on earth immune from the financial crisis. Can someone save the world from a global economic meltdown? Who has the wisdom to deal with the crisis?
As economies crumble, poverty soars, and financial gloom spreads like wildfire, one thing is certain: Never before has there been such a need for someone to step up to the world's economic helm.The repercussions of economic globalization are bigger than anyone ever imagined. The effect that one nation's financial woes has on others and ultimately the rest of the world is unprecedented. There's a need for someone to man the controls, someone who can rescue the world from further turmoil.Who will be able to rescue the world from this mess? Where have all the leaders gone? Who is capable?
But the Capitalistic Financiers of Europe: They're all like a whole bunch of panders. They've got a whole lot invested in this America, and they don't want to lose it. The European money boys are left holding her bagful of worstless dollars. If they keep trying to support her, they're going to go bankrupt!
The infamous global financial system cryptically spoken of in the Bible's book of Revelation as the "Mark of the Beast"—without which no one will be able to buy or sell—is coming closer to inception every day.
Crises like this current one make people yearn for the economic stability that the framers of this new system will proclaim as their aim. The value of the new digital money will be guaranteed, but will come with a price, and that is your allegiance to the global regime that backs it. That coming regime will be the most sinister and tyrannical one that the world has ever seen. Your money may seem safe, but it will cost you as much as your soul.

Peninsula readers' letters: April 29
Dear Editor: It turns out that not quite 20 percent of Americans are tea party supporters. Those who are tend to be white, Republican, male, older than 45 and wealthier than the rest of us. Fifty-seven percent hold a favorable opinion of George W. Bush. And where most Republicans describe themselves as "dissatisfied" with Washington, tea partiers are apt to use a different term.
They say they're angry. It is a telling word, especially in light of another survey, this one from the University of Washington's Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race & Sexuality. That poll offers strong evidence that, contrary to the denials of tea party enthusiasts, President Barack Obama's race plays a big role in their outrage.
After all, if the tea partiers were truly only concerned about so-called "tyranny," they'd have started howling when Bush claimed he need not be bound by laws with which he disagreed.

Letter: Drugs more spiritual than physical
April 26, 2010,
Editor,
It is drugs’ connection to the spiritual realm. Psychotropic or mind-altering substances are viewed by sorcerers and others involved in the occult as a gateway, or guide, into the Spirit World. Over the years, the Grateful Dead have become almost synonymous with marijuana and LSD use. The Washington Times described the uncanny fascination they inspire in their devoted fans, “For many of the camp followers, the Dead are a religion and their lyrics a bible. It is generally accepted that the Dead are tapped into some profound LSD-inspired truth. Not surprisingly, some hallucinating ‘Deadheads’ have weaved weird and elaborate theories about God and the Universe from strands of Grateful Dead lyrics.”
It’s not surprising because the Dead themselves have acknowledged this drug-induced demonic deception. As Captain Trip, Jerry Garcia, said in their biography “Playing in the Band.” “I can’t deny that there is a moment when I’m transformed, when all of a sudden God is speaking through my strings,” (“Playing in the Band,” David Gans and Peter Simon).
I began taking drugs and reading from mystical books at University of California at Berkeley but they never satisfied my soul. I realize that it was more a spiritual thing rather than a physical things. It lead me to pursue a degree in Education counseling at San Jose State University with classes in Drug and Alcohol counseling. I work as a Music Therapist at the VA Hospital in Menlo Park for 17 years and three years at James Ranch in Morgan Hill.

RSNTea party today
Ted Rudow III
26 April 2010
The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by colonists in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and other political protests often refer to it. The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773.
The Tea party today, it turns out that not quite 20 percent of Americans are tea party supporters. They tend to be white, Republican, male, over 45 and wealthier than the rest of us. Fifty-seven percent hold a favorable opinion of George W. Bush. And where most Republicans describe themselves as "dissatisfied" with Washington, tea partiers are apt to use a different term.

After all, if the tea partiers were truly only concerned about so-called "tyranny," they'd have started howling when Bush claimed he need not be bound by laws with which he disagreed. These same whites exploited, enslaved, suppressed, oppressed, tortured, and built massive, rich, and warring empires upon the bruised and bloody bodies of these down-trodden masses of so-called under-developed peoples! Under developed in what? Under-developed in war, weapons, brutality, cruelty, selfishness, and the desire to dominate others. Actually they were over- developed in some of the world's most beautiful and peaceful cultures -- religions, art, sciences, philosophies, and beautiful, peaceful, pastoral ways of life, which the white came to destroy, and to makes slaves of them.

Sorceries and megabanks
Dear Editor: This oligarchy consists of six megabanks — Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. They have assets equivalent to 60 percent of our gross national product.
And to put this in perspective, in the mid-1990s these six banks or their predecessors, since there have been a lot of mergers, had less than 20 percent. Their assets were less than 20 percent of the gross national product.
They did sorceries to take a lot of these loans and package them up into very complex "collateralized debt obligations" and other risky "financial derivatives" and then sell them to others as investments in the hopes the loans would one day be repaid. Banks and other investors all over the world bought and sold these things that they knew probably had no real value. Does this sound mad to you? It did to many at first, but somehow — like the old tale of the emperor's new clothes — enough investors and financiers thought they were exquisite, and eventually nearly everyone began to think it was economic wisdom.
"For thy merchants were the great men of the Earth, and by thy sorceries (the deceitfulness of riches and the witchcraft of wealth) were all nations deceived," says the Book of Revelation, 18,23b. American affluence is the dream of every country the world over, and her luxuries, sins and violence, from her music to her crimes, are imitated by nations around the world.

"Oligarchy is just- it's a very simple, straightforward idea from Aristotle. It's political power based on economic power." Simon Johnson

They have assets equivalent to 60 percent of our gross national product.

America has been involved and to blame for nearly every major war of this century, as well as a good many of the past, and has wreaked more destruction of war on the world than any other nation in history. She is the greatest warmonger the world has ever known, and the greatest destroyer they will ever see.-- "For thy merchants were the great men of the Earth, and by thy sorceries (the deceitfulness of riches and the witchcraft of wealth!) were all nations deceived!(Rev. 18:23b) (American affluence is the dream of every country the world over, and her luxuries, sins and violence, from her music to her crimes, are imitated by nations around the world!)

“Israeli ‘apartheid’ targets two-state deal – Erakat”
April 15, 2010
The amendment to a previous order broadens the definition of infiltrators who can be expelled from the West Bank to include anyone who does not hold a permit, without specifying what type of document is needed. Seven Israeli rights groups said earlier that the military order was worded so broadly such as theoretically allowing the military to empty the West Bank of almost all its Palestinian inhabitants.
Israel vows it will never give back the Old City of Jerusalem, which it conquered in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Palestinians, the 1.2 billion-strong Muslim world, the Vatican, Europe, and the UN insist the Old City return to Muslim-Christian rule as capital of Palestine.
Israel refuses any right of return to Palestinian refugees expelled from their homes in 1948 and 1967, though it welcomed 1 million Russians and still keeps its doors open for new immigrants. Israel also says it will never force 180,000 Jewish settlers on the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan to leave.
End of story? Not necessarily. The president of the United States has the power to break this impasse. In 1956, Israel, in collusion with France and Britain, invaded Egypt and seized Sinai. When Israel refused to withdraw at war end, President Dwight Eisenhower ordered Israel to vacate Sinai or face the cut-off of all US aid and an end to the tax-deductible status of contributions to Israel. Israel vacated Sinai.
Israel has received $180 billion in aid from the US since 1948. Every year, US taxpayers give Israel $5 billion in open and hidden aid. Egypt is paid $2 billion annually not to confront Israel. Israel’s military is dependent on US equipment and technology. Only the oft-used US veto prevents Israel from facing UN sanctions over its refusal to pull out from the West Bank and the Old City.
Please remember the plight of the poor Palestinian people in your daily prayers.

“Israeli ‘apartheid’ targets two-state deal – Erakat”
April 15, 2010
The amendment to a previous order broadens the definition of infiltrators who can be expelled from the West Bank to include anyone who does not hold a permit, without specifying what type of document is needed. Seven Israeli rights groups said earlier that the military order was worded so broadly such as theoretically allowing the military to empty the West Bank of almost all its Palestinian inhabitants.
Israel vows it will never give back the Old City of Jerusalem, which it conquered in the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Palestinians, the 1.2 billion-strong Muslim world, the Vatican, Europe, and the UN insist the Old City return to Muslim-Christian rule as capital of Palestine.
Israel refuses any right of return to Palestinian refugees expelled from their homes in 1948 and 1967, though it welcomed 1 million Russians and still keeps its doors open for new immigrants. Israel also says it will never force 180,000 Jewish settlers on the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan to leave.
End of story? Not necessarily. The president of the United States has the power to break this impasse. In 1956, Israel, in collusion with France and Britain, invaded Egypt and seized Sinai. When Israel refused to withdraw at war end, President Dwight Eisenhower ordered Israel to vacate Sinai or face the cut-off of all US aid and an end to the tax-deductible status of contributions to Israel. Israel vacated Sinai.
Israel has received $180 billion in aid from the US since 1948. Every year, US taxpayers give Israel $5 billion in open and hidden aid. Egypt is paid $2 billion annually not to confront Israel. Israel’s military is dependent on US equipment and technology. Only the oft-used US veto prevents Israel from facing UN sanctions over its refusal to pull out from the West Bank and the Old City.
Please remember the plight of the poor Palestinian people in your daily prayers.

Only a country that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on Earth! Majority rule, or a democracy, is the worst and most inefficient kind of government you can possibly have.
Jesus Himself taught that the majority is always wrong: "Broad is the way and wide is the gate that leadeth unto destruction, and many there be that go in thereat!"
Democracy is ridiculous comic opera!--The most inefficient muddled confusion that was ever created by man! Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.--Harry S. Truman.
The cleverest form of dictatorship: They tell you you're free when you're really a slave without even a slave's security!--Like in the U.S.

Furious that the courageous exposure of there criminal hypocrisy and traitorous deception of the American people, and enraged by the humiliation of there scandalous Administration being the continuous major subject of daily worldwide headlines.
Tough times can also lead to tough government actions and tyranny. It's a time of upheaval, flux and change for the world, just as the 1930s were, the Great Depression period before World War II. History doesn't always repeat itself, of course, but it can sometimes. Yes, all the makings for a police state are there, and not just in the U.S., but in any number of countries.

“Israel allows clothes into Gaza as another
rocket fired”
April 6, 2010
Israel on Friday threatened wide-scale military action against the Gaza Strip after launching a string of air strikes in response to rocket fire from the Hamas-run Palestinian enclave. Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom warned of a new offensive on the coastal territory unless the attacks were halted. In 1956, Israel went to war without American consent. Ben-Gurion thought that his collusion with the UK and France was enough. He was vastly mistaken. A hundred hours after telling us the Third Kingdom of Israel had come into being; he announced with a broken voice he was going to evacuate all the territories just conquered. President Dwight Eisenhower, together with his Soviet colleague, had submitted an ultimatum, and that was the end of the adventure. Since then, Israel has not started a single war without securing the agreement of Washington. Obama has promised to get tough about Israel, not for the sake of the Jews or Israel itself, but for the sake of Israel as a military base.

The insanity of our military spending
Abstract:
On April 4, 1967, exactly one year to the day before he was assassinated, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech titled "Beyond Vietnam," and called the U.S. government "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."
That statement remains as true today as it was back then....
4/08/10
America is built on violence! Violence is its religion. From the time the kids get to school and beat each other up till the time they go to war to kill each other, that's America's religion.
Americans are the worst warmongers! America, ex-Christian America, was supposedly the most Christian nation in the World, but it is no longer! They have become the most pro-selfish, pro-capitalist, really pro-fascist, anti-socialist country in the World!
It was the American police and government agents who taught the Latin American police how to torture, and did the same thing in Iran. The CIA was over there teaching them how to torture! Think of it!--America, the World's greatest instructor in scientific torture!--And she backs these big dictatorial fascist regimes throughout Latin America, and in fact throughout the World! To the Americans, violence is always the final answer, war is always the final answer, "If we don't get what we want we'll fight for it!" That's how America was built, on violence, absolute violence!
The Russians didn't invent the ballistic missiles, the Russian didn't invent the atomic bombs, the Russians haven't fought many wars and killed the millions of people the Americans have!

Marijuana
Ted Rudow III, MA, On e-mail
According to an American Cancer Society article, marijuana impairs the immune system. Smoking marijuana regularly (a joint a day) can damage the cells in the bronchial passages which protect the body against inhaled microorganisms and decrease the ability of the immune cells in the lungs to fight off fungi, bacteria, and tumour cells. For patients with already weakened immune systems which often proves fatal in AIDS patients.
People who have learned from hard experience with drugs will tell you that it's a steppingstone to drugs that are much more powerful and harmful, and that if you want to be safe and not go down that road of sorrow, you will not even take the first step.

Grabbed Jerusalem
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday Apr 6th, 2010
As so often happens in international settlementsand peace treaties, etc., they usually settle on about whatever they've conquered, so in the final days of the war the Jews made a big drive to get in and get Jerusalem, and they did.
As you can see, they drove like a dagger into the heart of the Palestinian area and grabbed Jerusalem, and it's been a point of argument ever since. Jerusalem was an all-Arab city, almost entirely Palestinian, including Bethlehem and all the surrounding area, but the Jews grabbed it, first the Western half, then the rest in the 1967 War.
In the original settlement, even Jerusalem and all this part was given to the Palestinian, in fact more than what is now the West Bank. Just about half of what is now Israel was given to the Palestinianin a very fair settlement, what they call the Partition--the Partition Settlement of that war between the Jews and the Palestinian. The Jews were given about half of present-day Israel, and the Palestinian or Palestinians were given the other half.
It was a very fair settlement and everyone agreed on it except guess who?--the Israeli! They just paid no attention to it, like it never had even been agreed on! The Palestinian agreed to it, the U.S. agreed to it, all the major World nations agreed to it, about the only ones who didn't were the Jews! And they just kept right on fighting and arguing and held their line that they had captured during the War. That's about all it did was stop'm from going any further, they just held the line, including Jerusalem.

Letter: Marijuana is a 'stepping stone'

Editor,

Smoking marijuana regularly (a joint a day) can damage the cells in the bronchial passages which protect the body against inhaled microorganisms and decrease the ability of the immune cells in the lungs to fight off fungi, bacteria and tumor cells. "I would probably legalize it, but I don't think that will happen. The smugglers will then shift gears. Many years ago, I met with the head of Egyptian narcotics where users of pot and harder drugs would be monitored and given the best drugs in Egypt. When the border was closed by the Israeli war, it was also closed to the special cannabis coming in from Lebanon. Guess what? Cannabis users were now switching to heroin," said Dr. Richard Lyon, noted urological expert. People who have learned from hard experience with drugs will tell you that it's a stepping stone to drugs that are much more powerful and harmful, and that if you want to be safe and not go down that road of sorrow, you will not even take the first step.

Nuclear Arms
by Ted Rudow III,MA
Saturday Apr 3rd, 2010
Since World War II, “the war to end all wars,” the explosive power of the combined nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia has grown to the equivalent of 300,000 Hiroshima’s. The 8,500 warheads and bombs in the US arsenal alone have a combined explosive power of more than 3 billion tons of TNT – about 1,500 pounds of explosive for every man, woman and child on this planet.
Dr. James Muller, a Harvard heart specialist and secretary of the Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War, Inc., brought this out when he said: “At some point deep down inside, people know the world could explode tomorrow.”
Yet some people are just talking about it calmly as though it is the natural thing to expect – that we are going to destroy each other and the world! In an article entitled “The End of the World, US Senator George McGovrn wrote: “Even the smallest of today’s strategic nuclear weapons has several times the yield of the Hiroshima bomb. If one were to explode at midday in Manhattan, the shock wave would kill 5,000,000 unprotected people within 4 or 5 miles and would demolish buildings almost as far away as the Connecticut border. And that would be just the beginning of the end: only 20 percent of the fatalities at Hiroshima were caused by the blast.
“A nuclear explosion over Manhattan would generate temperatures of tens of millions of degrees centigrade, radiating out like the sun’s rays. The heat and the fire storm would be deadlier than the shock. So would the short and long-term radiation effects. The familiar mushroom cloud would draw up and contaminate tons of earth and debris, to settle back and kill millions of people hundreds of miles away.”

The 8,500 warheads and bombs in the US arsenal alone have a combined explosive power of more than 3 billion tons of TNT – about 1,500 pounds of explosive for every man, woman and child on this planet.
Dr. James Muller, a Harvard heart specialist and secretary of the Physicians for Prevention of Nuclear War, Inc., brought this out when he said: “At some point deep down inside, people know the world could explode tomorrow.”
Yet some people are just talking about it calmly as though it is the natural thing to expect – that we are going to destroy each other and the world! In an article entitled “The End of the World, US Senator George McGovrn wrote: “Even the smallest of today’s strategic nuclear weapons has several times the yield of the Hiroshima bomb. If one were to explode at midday in Manhattan, the shock wave would kill 5,000,000 unprotected people within 4 or 5 miles and would demolish buildings almost as far away as the Connecticut border. And that would be just the beginning of the end: only 20 percent of the fatalities at Hiroshima were caused by the blast.
“A nuclear explosion over Manhattan would generate temperatures of tens of millions of degrees centigrade, radiating out like the sun’s rays. The heat and the fire storm would be deadlier than the shock. So would the short and long-term radiation effects. The familiar mushroom cloud would draw up and contaminate tons of earth and debris, to settle back and kill millions of people hundreds of miles away.”

Palin' folly
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Mar 31st, 2010
.
Sarah Palin told thousands of tea party activists assembled in the dusty Nevada desert Saturday that Sen. Harry Reid will have to explain his votes when he comes back to his hometown to campaign. Although US has spent billions, it's already bankrupt! It will never be able to pay back those loans, not only the loans from the China and Japanese who can afford it.
Do not be deceived through the false words.For while some cry peace and safety as they give false readings of the times. She will appear as a minister of righteousness, as an angel of light, and she will deceive many. She would seek to deceive even the very elect, but be ye not deceived. The majority of the people won't rise up until their sleep, their comfort, their security is actually threatened!
Then when they do rise, it is to put their stamp of approval on rightism to protect their greed. I suppose they have the same attitude the German church leader, Martin Niemoeller, had when Hitler began to persecute the Jews!--"Well, it's not my problem! The Jews weren't any good to us anyway, so it's not bothering us, and since they're not our religion they deserve it!" But soon he himself was in prison also.

According to an American Cancer Society article, marijuana impairs the immune system. Smoking marijuana regularly (a joint a day) can damage the cells in the bronchial passages which protect the body against inhaled microorganisms and decrease the ability of the immune cells in the lungs to fight off fungi, bacteria, and tumor cells. For patients with already weakened immune systems which often proves fatal in AIDS patients.
. "I would probably legalize it, but I don't think that will happen. The smugglers will then shift gears. Many years ago I met with the head of Egyptian narcotics where users of pot and harder drugs would be monitored and given the best drugs in Egypt. When the border was closed by the Israeli war, it was also closed to the special cannabis coming in from Lebanon. Guess what? Cannabis users were now switching to heroin." Dr. Richard Lyon, notated Urological.
Yet people who have learned from hard experience with drugs will tell you that it's a steppingstone to drugs that are much more powerful and harmful, and that if you want to be safe and not go down that road of sorrow, you will not even take the first step.

Is evolution a religion?
Dear Editor: After Darwin, evolution had its prophets and apostles — spokespeople for the cause like Thomas Huxley, Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan. It also has its priesthood — scientists who are primarily in, but not limited to, the fields of paleontology, biology, anthropology and geology, and who speak in a mystical language only intelligible to their fellow initiates.
These are they who tell us with all solemnity that evolution is fact and ask us to believe their dictums primarily because they have said it, and they should know, since they have devoted lifetimes to its study and research. When their beliefs are challenged, they commonly resort to ridiculing those who dare to challenge "science." Yet those who believe in creation have no quarrel with science when it is based on fact. Is evolution a religion? The evidence seems to point in that direction. It's a religion of unbelief in God, but nevertheless a faith-based creed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Posted on March 23, 2010 by One God, One Race, One Aim, One Destiny.
“An eye for an eye” has always been the motto of those who live under the Mosaic Law–injury for injury, injustice for injustice, death for death.
He came to deliver men from the Law and to give them grace and truth and mercy, but those to whom He came rejected Him and the grace and love He bore, preferring their own works, their own righteousness, their own ways instead, and do so unto this very day.
There was love and mercy and forgiveness even under the Mosaic Law, but those who practice it today have focused on justice and judgment rather than mercy and forgiveness, and their justice has become injustice and their judgment has become the slaughter of the innocent and the butchery of the helpless.
Such is the situation in the Mideast today, where the Palestinians suffer at the hands of the Israelis. Though neither side is blameless and some on both sides have shed innocent blood, those to whom He delivered His Law and His Word of old are most guilty. For even His Word of old said “Thou shalt not kill,” but they have created legions of widows and orphans whose cries rise unto Me.
Those who have sown violence and death will also reap it, for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. This is His spiritual law, applicable both to those who sow good and those who sow evil. As surely as they have destroyed, they will suffer destruction.
The houses that they have taken from others shall be left unto them desolate.He suffer long with man. His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting. But He also hear the cries of the oppressed, and His judgments are sure, though they may be long in coming.

Editor,
Even in modern education we are taught that the ideal school class size is about a dozen, and never more than two dozen at the most.
Even the teachers whose business is education have discovered this through years of experience and we should be able to take a tip from their common sense.
Enormous high schools and mammoth universities have become heartless machines, producing unguided students.
There was more individual attention — much more than in the school.
You just can't produce that kind of product with the massive machinery, mass production and rapid, hasty, impersonal assembly-line type of an operation of our present educational systems. It's impossible.
They have come out in identical molds of dead, lifeless, mindless, leaden robots.

Changes in man's society always come from the bottom, not the top--changes in economics, politics, or religion, or the earth--because the top does not want to change; it always wants to be on the top. But if they try to seal the pot to preserve the status quo, they cannot, and the pot will explode and destroy because of the fire.

Difficult?
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday Mar 16th, 2010
The Obama administration has put Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a difficult political spot at home by insisting that the Israeli government halt a plan to build housing units in East Jerusalem. The administration also wants Mr. Netanyahu to commit to substantive negotiations with the Palestinians, after more than a year in which the peace process has been moribund.
World public opinion had also recognised that this was the only solution: That the Palestinians and their rights should be recognised as an independent Palestinian state on the Israeli occupied West Bank of the Jordan. But Mr. Netanyahu has said, "What occupied territories?--That is Israel! We will never give up Jerusalem!"

President Obama did not dramatically change at all the surveillance policies of his predecessor. This strategy has made it simpler for the US government to spy on every American and millions of others around the world, You would think that eight or nine years now after the 9/11 attacks, the government would have done a better job just getting management over the information it already had.
That's one more example of how laws designed to "protect" the public from crime or terrorism often wind up being usedor rather misusedagainst them, harming them rather than helping them. When petty bureaucrats are given such power over people's lives then they sometimes go hog-wild with it!
Oh, they'd tell you that everything they've done is for a good cause, and in their minds it is. But that still doesn't make it right.
It's a small example of the sort of thing that will be very common just as it was under Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other tyrants of the past: Give people power over others, but remove or outlaw their religion or morality, and it's much easier to build a repressive, authoritarian society!

While most traditional media reviews of The Hurt Locker were positive, the movie was criticized by some Iraq veterans and embedded reporters for inaccurately portraying wartime conditions. The U.S. military preparing to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by September.
But how can they justify this war? When people fail to tell to the truth they are apt to become strongly deluded and believe a lie instead. Former President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their crew lied day after day. and the media flooded the U.S and the world with their lies about weapons of mass destruction.
They told lies about Iraq producing atomic bombs and drones that could carry bomb and chemicals all the way to the U.S.. The list of lies goes on and on. It's disgusting that Bush could lie his way into the Iraq war, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the deaths of 4.000 American soldiers, and not suffer any consequences for it.

America spends more on its military budget than most of the rest of the nations of the world combined, and yet many Americans would tell you that the U.S. is a peace-loving nation that only goes to war to bring about peace, and that only uses its military to keep the peace. It's like Orwell said: "War is peace" to them. More than that, though, war is profit to many U.S. weapons makers and manufacturers, who make enormous amounts of money selling arms and material not only to the U.S. government but to many others around the world.Health care is not a issue with them!!!!

But the Capitalistic Financiers of Europe: They're all like a whole bunch of panders. They've got a whole lot invested in this America, and they don't want to lose it. So they try to save her so they can save their investments, and they're trying to get the rest of the world to, so they can save her and continue to make a little money on her. She thinks she's their owner, but they're her owner, and unless they rescue her, she'll die; but they're trying to rescue her to save their own investments.So the quicker they cut her loose, the better! It's totally artificial for them to support the dollar!
If they'd just let the dollar sink down to where it belongs, America would sink! But the whole trouble is, they each own too much of a share in the America, and they don't want to lose their investments. The European money boys are left holding her bagful of worstless dollars. If they keep trying to support her, they're going to go bankrupt!

Allende brought about his peaceful government in Chile by ballot, not bullet. But, you see, both Marx and Lenin taught that you'll never get the rich to give up their riches and share their wealth willingly, therefore you cannot legislate it. You cannot just pass laws to get them to do it, because they won't stand for it.
But the rich will nearly always fight and die for their riches. The rich would rather die than lose their wealth. That's why they fight their wars and send their own sons to die for them! So anyone trying to bring about a peaceful, nonviolent communist or socialist revolution is just wishfully thinking!
They allow the socialists to merely pass laws and vote their riches out of existence! They will use their power and wealth to buy the military and pay them to defend them. This is why so many Fascist takeovers happen This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power.

Vultures
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Mar 3rd, 2010
Over the last five years, Britain, the United States and other countries have written off billions of dollars in loans to the world’s poorest countries. But a small group of vulture funds have been trying to divert that money into their own pockets. how vulture funds have been operating there and why Liberia lost a $20 million case against two vulture funds in a British court.
In Britain, lawmakers have voted in favor of a bill to restrict so-called vulture funds—that is, financiers that buy up poor country debts cheaply and then sue for massive profits. The Debt Relief Bill would pave the way for banning private investors from pursuing the world’s poorest countries for debts in British courts.
This is the result of a selfish, greed-driven society. They've hardened their hearts for so long and are so blinded by greed and hypocrisy that they don't even hear the pitiful pleas of these poor suffering ones.

"Protect"?
by Ted Rudow III,MA
Friday Feb 26th, 2010
President Obama did not dramatically change at all the surveillance policies of his predecessor. This strategy has made it simpler for the US government to spy on every American and millions of others around the world, You would think that eight or nine years now after the 9/11 attacks, the government would have done a better job just getting management over the information it already had.
That's one more example of how laws designed to "protect" the public from crime or terrorism often wind up being used—or rather misused—against them, harming them rather than helping them. When petty bureaucrats are given such power over people's lives then they sometimes go hog-wild with it!
Oh, they'd tell you that everything they've done is for a good cause, and in their minds it is. But that still doesn't make it right.
It's a small example of the sort of thing that will be very common just as it was under Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other tyrants of the past: Give people power over others, but remove or outlaw their religion or morality, and it's much easier to build a repressive, authoritarian society!

Military, academia debate selective service
Thursday, February 25th, 2010 | By Devin Banerjee
Before he was a general in the United States Marine Corps, fighting in Vietnam and earning a four-star service medal, Orlo Steele '55 was a strapping political science student at Stanford. And it was here where he came to oppose the draft.
The moon shone brightly on a spring night in 1951, and the men of Encina Hall were restless. Then, someone yelled the magic words down the halls: "panty raid."
"The juices were running," Steele recalled. Young men tripped over themselves as they rushed across campus to congregate outside Roble Hall, where, from the windows, the women of Stanford waived their lingerie at 650 pairs of panting eyes below.
"We were going to rush the place," Steele said, and not a policeman was in sight.
But in the Roble courtyard, standing in front of a floodlight and wielding only a megaphone, was a dean who knew exactly how to deter the wild pack. "Anybody who gets into Roble tonight will be classified 1-A tomorrow," the dean delivered a faux threat to the crowd. In other words, they would become eligible for the military draft.
And immediately, the crowd dispersed.
Wednesday evening, Steele joined Law School Dean Larry Kramer, emeritus history Prof. James Sheehan '58 and Hoover senior fellow Martin Anderson, for a roundtable discussion on the history and present feasibility of the military draft. CISAC consulting Prof. Phil Taubman '70 moderated.
Taubman, recalling his years covering Stanford for The Daily, said campuses across the country unraveled during the Vietnam War years because the draft lent "a kind of immediacy to people and their families and their friends." One night, students here lit the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) building on fire.
"There's no question the draft was a powerful engine that led people to think seriously about the war," Taubman said, "or, in many cases, oppose the war."
Sheehan, examining modern-day drafts, offered a comparative perspective. Germany's conscription model, he said, would be the most compatible with American society, if the United States were to implement selective service. German men are able to opt for civil service in medicine and other welfare agencies, and about half of them do so.
Kramer said he believes some kind of universal service - one that is not limited only to military service, but which also includes the option of civil service - should eventually be implemented in the United States.
Anderson, who said he, as director of research for Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign, proposed an end to the draft even before Nixon was elected, reiterated on Wednesday his opposition to the draft.
"I didn't like the people who didn't want to be there," Anderson said bluntly of conscripted men drafted into war. "You want very strong people who know what they're doing."
Audience members of Wednesday's roundtable, who consisted of veterans and ROTC students, among others, eventually brought the discussion forward to the present day. Asked whether the use of predator drones in regions such as Afghanistan diminishes the need for a draft, Steele rejected any connection between the two.
"Whoever is running those robots probably has been under intensive training for a number of years," Steele said, "so I don't see a draft influencing that."
Steele further said a draft would be unnecessary if the United States opened a "third front" - that is, another war on top of those in Iraq and Afghanistan. "This last January, all military units met their recruiting goals," he said, acknowledging the likely role of a recessive economy and sluggish job market in that trend.
The retired general ended the discussion by suggesting a question to those Americans who favor a return of the draft: Is selective service intended to provide for common defense or for general welfare? That is, to actually defend the country or to instill certain values in the country's young men?
"I believe it's the latter," he said

Sports is war
Did you know that the Nicaragua-El Salvador war, in which 20,000 people were killed, started over a football game? In fact, Ernest Hemingway, the world-famous writer, who spent so much of his time in Latin America and Spain, said you could eliminate most Latin American wars and their causes by simply banning football or soccer.
The ultimate fulfilment of sports is war. War is the ultimate fulfilment of the competitive spirit: the destruction of others for self-preservation. Sports are war in disguise, and the Olympics disguised all this under the totally false and contrary theme song of 'Peace'. That's their theme! Isn't that something? So they speak peace while war is in their hearts, and they talk peace while they prepare for war.
It's the spirit of competition and pride, proving you're better than the other guy. But the world just loves it. And even if they don't play the game themselves, they get into the same spirit by rooting for one team or the other. It's a thrill and high for them if their team wins, and a real low if their team loses. Just look at the results of some of these losses or delays or problems even with the broadcast of some of these sports events. People riot and get violent. Businesses close so they can watch the event on TV. It becomes big news.
It's just that spirit of winning and being the best, coming out on top and being better, and getting paid for it. Pride and money, success and fame - pretty powerful tools. But Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers ..."

In fact, Ernest Hemingway, the world famous writer, who spent so much of his time in Latin America and Spain, said you could eliminate most Latin American wars and their causes by simply banning football or soccer.

In fact, Ernest Hemingway, the world famous writer, who spent so much of his time in Latin America and Spain, said you could eliminate most Latin American wars and their causes by simply banning football or soccer. Those games get them so worked up into a frenzy against each other that nothing but a total all-out war can truly satisfy the spirit of it.
The ultimate fulfilment of sports is war. War is the ultimate fulfilment of the competitive spirit: the destruction of others for self-preservation. Sports are war in disguise, and the Olympics disguised all this under the totally false and contrary theme song of "Peace". That's their theme!--Isn't that something. So they speak peace while war is in their hearts, and they talk peace while they prepare for war--prepare their bodies for war.
It's the spirit of competition and pride, proving you're better than the other guy. But the world just loves it. And even if they don't play the game themselves, they get into the same spirit by rooting for one team or the other. It's a thrill and high for them if their team wins, and a real low if their team loses. Just look at the results of some of these losses or delays or problems even with the broadcast of some of these sports events. People riot and get violent. Businesses close so they can watch the event on TV. It becomes big news.
It's just that spirit of winning and being the best, coming out on top and being better, and getting paid for it. Pride and money, success and fame--pretty powerful tools. But Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers.."

“Netanyahu aide dismisses ‘tooth fairy’ peace views”
February 18, 2010
The Israelis have got everything their way right now! They have got all of Israel and they have got all of Jerusalem and they want to keep it all and they don’t have any intention of sharing it with anybody. We don’t care if the whole world says were wrong; we know we’re right.
It doesn’t matter what we do to the Palestinians, it doesn’t matter how selfish we are with our land and Jerusalem, with the other religions, we know we’re right and we’re not going to back. Israel doesn’t like to do it; in fact, she wouldn’t do it if she weren’t forced to! And she never will do it until she is forced to! And the US will never force her to.”

“World stock markets slump on fears over European debt levels”
February 6, 2010
The capitalistic financiers of Europe have got a whole lot invested in America, and they don’t want to lose it. They try to save her so they can save their investments, and they’re trying to get the rest of the world to do the same, so they can save her and continue to make a little money on her.
She thinks she’s their owner, but they’re her owner, and unless they rescue her, she’ll die. But they’re only trying to rescue her to save their own investments. So the quicker they cut her loose, the better. It’s totally artificial for them to support the dollar. If they’d just let the dollar sink down to where it belongs, America would sink with it.

America has been living in luxury at the world's expense while other nations are starving. America has had high prices on everything and yet has refused to pay high prices for goods because other nations are so poor and they are glad to get anything.
The majority of the people won’t rise up until their sleep, their comfort, their security is actually threatened. Then when they do rise, it is to put their stamp of approval on rightism to protect their greed.
