Peninsula readers' letters: March 8

War and oil
Dear Editor: James Madison's often quoted dictum, "No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare," reflected a view that was widely shared by the founders. That concept was a basis for our Constitution's provision that only Congress can declare war. Yet, today, America's presidents start wars as if they were kings in old Europe. (Those wars, it should be noted, were a major reason our forefathers risked all to leave Europe.)
The United States produces 9 percent of the world's total oil. In 2009, the U.S. imported about 52 percent of the crude oil and refined the petroleum products that it used. In other words, America could have saved that much oil simply by being more conservative in its consumption rather than having to go to war to try to get it back. But it would rather go to war and lose tens of thousands of lives and all the billions of dollars a war will cost, and God only knows what else.
We take a stand for the principle in Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address: "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none." Imagine how much this war is costing. If they would double the price of gasoline for years and years, that still will only be a minute drop in the bucket to what this war is costing.

Well, corporate income taxes in this country are one-third lower than they were in 2000, even though corporate profits are up 60 percent and corporations have almost $2 trillion in cash. They're approaching $7,000 of cash for every man, woman and child in the United States. They're not investing this money. They're not creating jobs. They are hoarding this money that they have pulled out of the economy. It's one of the reasons we're in so much trouble.
Now, as to the argument that our tax rate is too high, it is because of all these special favors. The reason the tax code has grown and grown and grown and grown and grown isn't because of people like you and me; it's because of all these favors being bought from politicians. We could raise a trillion dollars a year — that would double the revenue we get, equivalent to the revenue we get from the individual income tax — by shutting down loopholes and favors for businesses, particularly the oil and gas and pharmaceutical industries. The fact is, the very largest corporations, the ones who hold the vast majority of wealth in America, pay an effective tax rate of about 15 percent of their profits.

Muslim Wall

Muslim Wall
by Ted Rudow III, MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com ) Friday Mar 4th, 2011
We should call this really the Muslim Wall. They’re not all Arabs, but are all united by the common religious bond of Islam. All the countries which are Muslim or half-Muslim, I found the wall is roughly a thousand miles wide most of the way and extends about 7,000 miles, all the way from the West African coast to the border of China!
So the wide Muslim Wall is indeed very, very long, about twice as long as the mainland African and Asian Muslim Wall! This extends the Muslim Wall to the astounding length of about 15,000 miles—three-fifths of the way around the world—dividing the bulk of Asia and Europe from the bulk of southern Africa and Australia. Islam has continued to spread throughout the East, and the South, toward Africa, and even in the West. It has strengthened itself as well, in anger against the continued Western inroads in the Middle East, the oppression and conquest of Muslim nations, and in fervor to oppose the Western lifestyle, which has become more decadent and unrighteous as the years have passed. There has been a hardening of attitudes toward the West, especially toward America, because of its policies toward Muslim nations, and its support of despots and dictators in the Muslim world, its wars upon Muslim nations, as well as its support for Israel. The wall has swept on, growing in influence and strength and power.

Op-Ed: Silently Catholic, Pro-Life and a Stanford Outcast
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 By Op Ed
I have never tried to convert anyone in my life. I am one of the most open-minded people you will ever meet. I rarely even tell people that I’m Catholic.But I have felt isolated for being Catholic and pro-life since the first week I came to Stanford. I vividly remember my first few days here, how I had gone to MemChu a few times because I was a little lost and lonely. The news of where I had gone on my walk was met with odd glances and uncomfortable silences. Later that night in the Lag dining hall, some kid made the mistake of revealing that he had signed up on the pro-life e-mail list. And at least 10 people went at him for being so conservative, so close-minded. ........I am scared of revealing my other isolated world when I feel like no one will support me in doing so.I write this not to complain, but to share my story in hopes that it might reach someone feeling like I do, even if a different reason is the cause. Be blessed. Courtney Crisp ‘11
Ted Rudow III says:March 3, 2011 Pro-abortion is because they’re in it for the money. Some doctors make a fortune on abortions!–There are so many & it’s easier! In the U.S. alone, where some 1.5 million abortions take place every year, at an average cost of $300 each, abortions are an annual $500 million industry!The anti-abortion demonstrators can now be prosecuted under the “Anti-Racketeering Law,” RICO, placing them in the same category as gangs & criminals! It was a unanimous Supreme Court decision, think of it! A spokeswoman for Operation Rescue called the decision “a complete travesty of justice. The Supreme Court justices obviously do not understand how far-reaching this case is. This opens the floodgates for RICO to be used against anybody who uses free speech in a way that offends somebody else, or freedom of religion or freedom of assembly,” she said.

Punish Gadhafi for any wrongs
Tuesday, March 01, 2011
Dear Editor,
Colonel Moammar Gahdafi was a poor boy born in a tent, the son of a nomadic camel trader who roamed the poverty-stricken desert throughout most of his childhood. Significantly enough, he did his early studies by the light of an old oil lamp.
Colonel Moammar Gadhafi
In his early teens, he became active in political demonstrations in favour of Egypt's Nasser, procuring the necessary materials for his flags, banners and slogans by personally provisioning them from different merchants, and was often harassed by his enemies.
At the age of 27 in 1969, he led a successful revolution of the poor as a young army officer, ousted Libya's corrupt monarchy and became its new head of state. He also promptly ousted the foreign scientific magicians who had helped discover Libya's lamp of oil far beneath the sands of her desert, and began rubbing that lamp vigorously to produce its black gold and force its powerful genie of foreign oil companies to pay him more than double their former prices, from US$1 billion in his first year of 1969 to over US$2 billion in 1971 and approximately US$3 billion in 1973, amassing the largest gold reserves in the Arab world, and giving him a distinct place of leadership among its 100 million Arabs, second only to that of Egypt.
He used the magic genie of its power to accrue more wealth and power for both Libya and himself, although the Western magicians would certainly like to bury him alive if they could. But he himself seems to wear some uncanny ring of spiritual authority which causes him to lead a nearly charmed life in opposition to his enemies. To their disgruntled and frustrated chagrin, he keeps gleefully rubbing his new magic lamp and producing its black genie of oil which has now brought him so much wealth and power.
But now Colonel Moammar Gadhafi has vowed that he would "fight on to the last drop of my blood" and die a "martyr". We have heard and seen the killings going on in Libya. There needs to be a thorough investigation and if he's found guilty he must be condemned and punished by the international community.

Gadhafi must be punished
Dear Editor: Moammar Gadhafi vowed that he would "fight on to the last drop of my blood" and die a "martyr." I have no doubt what he really meant is that he will butcher and martyr his own people in his desperation to hold onto power. He must be condemned and punished by the international community.
The United Nations' high commissioner for human rights says Gadhafi's use of lethal force may constitute crimes against humanity. I agree. There needs to be a thorough investigation.

In this letter to the editor,"The Role of Aladdin?" I mention his humble background and how does Gadhafi the role of Aladdin? But now his true colored has being shown!
Col. Moammar Gadhafi of Libya vowed that he would “fight on to the last drop of my blood” and die a “martyr.” I have no doubt that what he really meant is that he will butcher and martyr his own people in his desperation to hold on to power. He must be condemned and punished by the international community The United Nations high commissioner for human rights says Gadhafi’s use of lethal force may constitute crimes against humanity. I agree. There needs to be a thorough investigation.

The Role of Aladdin?
How does Gaddafi fit the role of Aladdin? Gaddafi himself was a poor little Arab boy born in a tent, the son of a nomadic camel trader who roamed the poverty-stricken desert throughout most of his childhood. Significantly enough, he did his early studies by the light of an old Arab oil lamp. In his early teens, he became active in political demonstrations in favour of Egypt's Nasser, procuring the necessary materials for his flags, banners and slogans by personally provisioning them from different merchants, and was often harassed by his enemies
At the youthful age of only 27 in 1969, He led a successful revolution of the poor as a young army officer, ousted Libya's corrupt monarchy and became her new head of state. He also promptly ousted the foreign scientific magicians, who had helped discover Libya's lamp of oil far beneath the sands of her desert, and began rubbing that lamp vigorously to produce its black gold and force its powerful genie of foreign oil companies to pay him more than double their former prices, from one billion dollars in his first year of 1969 to over two billion in 1971 and approximately three billion in '73, amassing the largest gold reserves in the Arab world, and giving him a distinct place of leadership amongst its one hundred million Arabs, second only to that of Egypt!
He used the Magic Genie of its power to accrue more wealth and power for both Libya and himself, although the Western magicians would certainly like to bury him alive if they could! But he himself seems to wear some uncanny ring of spiritual authority which causes him to lead a nearly charmed life in opposition to his enemies. To their disgruntled and frustrated chagrin, he keeps gleefully rubbing his new magic lamp and producing its black genie of oil which has now brought him so much wealth and power.

They've already made peace with Israel and are being supported by the U.S. It was done for money. That peace was bought and paid for with U.S. dollars, don't give President Hosni Mubarak too much credit for being such a great peacemaker, such a sacrificial idealist to make peace with Israel! As for Mubarak, he is a strong man, strong-willed. He looks unto his own ways.
He is a man who is set in his ways. He is strong in his own eyes. Yet there are many hidden sorrows, there are many deep disappointments. There were many opportunities for breakings, but he would not. He turned to his own strength. He is as one who has sold his soul in order to gain the world. Within himself he struggles, he fights, and he knows not where his loyalties should be. He has compromised so many times, and knows not what is right.
You can bet your boots the U.S. promised him everything if he would make peace with Israel, and they have been delivering. They give Egypt now almost as much aid as Israel. Israel is getting two or three billion dollars a year, Egypt has gotten 1.2 billion dollars this past year.

“Lebanese activists voice support for Egyptians with solidarity protests”
January 31, 2011
The world pays attention to its troubles and the plight of the poor when the poor finally rebel. They can’t say, “Let them eat cake!” when they’re storming the Bastille.
Those poor Arabs with their righteous cause in fighting for their lands that have been stolen from them.
The Turks have surrendered, the French have surrendered, the British have surrendered, the Germans have surrendered, and the Americans have pretty much surrendered, but it looks like the Arabs are not going to surrender this time – at least, not yet.
They could never have waged their rebellion under a more favorable world climate than at the present moment. I mean the Arabs had to take some action. They had to put the pressure on, or nobody would even listen.
Otherwise, most of the would couldn’t care less. It’s very interesting, very exciting to see what’s going to happen, but very sad for the poor kids that have to suffer the brunt of it in the front lines, be they Arabs or Jews. War is hell, no matter how you look at it – and it’s always the youth who suffer most.
But it does bring decisions, and it does make changes, and it does precipitate crises. America’s in trouble no matter which way she stand. But the Arabs are the rising star the up-and-coming.

Apply more pressure to Mubarak
Dear Editor: Despite its public criticism, the Obama administration has yet to publicly leverage billions of dollars in aid to Egypt to increase pressure on President Hosni Mubarak's regime. Obama is expected to continue seeking to give full aid to Egypt when he submits his 2012 budget to Congress next week. According to the Los Angeles Times, Egypt is due to receive a wide variety of U.S. military hardware over the next year, including F-16 fighter jets, naval vessels, air defense missiles and surveillance radar.
Mubarak and his wife and two sons own more than $40 billion in properties and assets in U.S. banks and investment companies, as well as in banks in Switzerland and Britain. In the name of what, exactly, has the United States been ready to back and fund an ally whose contempt for the law, fake democracy and gross theft flouts everything for which America stands? It has been no secret that under 30 years of Mubarak rule, traditional corruption in Egypt expanded at every level. Egypt's government has been thoroughly abused by a system of bribes and favors, backed up by intimidation and legal threats.
Of course, the U.S. and many other nations, including Canada, will say Mubarak's stability was vital to Mideast peace. But at what price?

U.S. pressure on Egypt
Despite its public criticism of the Egyptian regime, the Obama administration has yet to publicly leverage billions in annual U.S. aid to Egypt to increase pressure on President Hosni Mubarak. In the name of what, exactly, has Washington backed an ally whose contempt for the law and fake democracy flouts everything for which America stands?

U.S. pressure on Egypt
Despite its public criticism of the Egyptian regime, the Obama administration has yet to publicly leverage billions in annual U.S. aid to Egypt to increase pressure on President Hosni Mubarak. In the name of what, exactly, has Washington backed an ally whose contempt for the law and fake democracy flouts everything for which America stands?

If US sides with Israel, there'll be trouble
Tuesday, February 08, 2011
Dear Editor,
For sure the problems in the Middle East are going to force the world to choose sides when the showdown comes. Everybody's going to have to show their true colours.
Anti-government protesters pray at dusk amid the continuing protest in Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo, Egypt, yesterday. Egypt's embattled regime announced Monday a 15 per cent raise for government employees in an attempt to shore up its base and defuse popular anger, but the gestures so far have done little to persuade the tens of thousands of protesters occupying Tahrir Square to end their two-week long protest, leaving the two sides in an uneasy stalemate. (Photo:AP)
So often nobody really wants to let anybody else know where they really stand. Diplomats are usually such a bunch of deceivers. But whenever things like this are going on, then they have to come out and declare themselves. Diplomats are the world's worst prevaricators! They're famous for being expert at what they do. Lying is almost their main job. Politicians!
Lately, Egypt and the Arabs have been getting world sympathy pretty much on their side. At the same time, Israel is walking a real thin line to try to keep as much world opinion as possible on her side, especially if America shows her true colours as being so sympathetic to the Jews and tries to intervene. In a way that's good: If America again sides with Israel - the oil, that is - that could really bring on trouble!

Demonstrators support anti-Mubarak cause
Friday, February 4th, 2011 | By The Daily News Staff
Demonstrators converged in White Plaza today to show their support for Egyptian protestors. Omar Shakir, B.A. ’07, J.D. ’13, one of the event’s organizers, stated that the Stanford demonstrators wanted to add their voices to the chorus of outcries stemming from the Egyptian uprising.
“The goal of the demonstration was to show our solidarity with the people who are campaigning for democratic change in Egypt,” Shakir said.
He added that the ongoing uprising is “a legitimate struggle against an oppressive regime.” Protesters here, like those abroad, are urging the Mubarak regime to “stop using violence against its own citizens.”
President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power for nearly three decades, has received increasing domestic and international pressure to step down. The anti-Mubarak movement came to a head Jan. 25 when Egyptians called for protests using Facebook and Twitter, and took to the streets. Since then, the uprising has been a focal point of international politics and campus discussion.
A Bay Area-wide demonstration is slated to occur at San Francisco’s United Nations Plaza tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Nick's Notebook-Nick Peters is the Baseball Hall of Fame for Journalism
Rudow turns off to sports
In a letter from Kingston at the start of the present basketball season, Ted emphatically explained how pressures endured during his Cal Career served as a catalyst for his dramatic dropout! "After I really,began to succeed on the freshman level",he wrote,
"I began to experience one of the strongest dilemas I had ever known. ."I felt pressures on many sides to really put out all my time and energy towards bccoming a basketball star in college and pressing to ward a pro career," Ted continued."On the other hand, something-deep williin my heart told me there was something wrong with all this. It kept telling me that all my desires to succeed in basketball were only vanity and only were pulling me farther and farther away from God. By the time school started in the fall of 1971, I had become convinced I should continue to play basketball as a service in God. But as soon as basketball practice happen"I Felt CAUGHT BETWEEN two worlds,he explained,"one with the teaching of Jesus in His commandment to love thy neighbor,while the other world I was told to gain a near-manical desire to win and to physically and spiritually punish my opponent to defeat.I began to really seek out God for the truth A about what I was doing.
"I then really began to see the tremendous hatred and violence that sports express," Rudow reasoned. "By February, I had become thoroughly disgusted with my hypocritical involvement with basketball. I also was sickened and frightend by the changes in those round me.
"I saw changes take place in a few of myteammates as they began to get publicity and promises of large sums of money in pro basketball.
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. It becomes almost a life-and-death spirit. For example, the soccer players in the World Cup practically ran themselves to exhaustion, suffered injuries and bruises, and still kept playing, because they wanted to win no matter what it cost them physically.
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. When they watch the World Cup or 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. But the world just loves it! See how this competitive sports thing has been the final stages of every great civilization and empire.

Beinin discusses Egypt uprising
Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011 | By Marwa Farag
History professor Joel Beinin, an expert in Middle East history, delivered a talk on the current uprisings in Egypt on Tuesday afternoon in front of a full crowd in the Lane History Corner.
Since Jan. 25, protestors have taken to the streets of Egypt’s main cities, calling for the fall of the existing regime and the resignation of incumbent president Hosni Mubarak, who has been in power since 1981.
Over the weekend, Mubarak appointed a vice president and made attempts to reshuffle his government, measures that did not appease protestors. Monday saw the launch of a “Million Man March” in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, and during Beinin’s talk, Mubarak announced that he would not be running for reelection in September. Several world leaders, including President Obama, had previously urged him to take this step. Egyptians continue to call for his immediate removal.........

No one should give President Hosni Mubarak too much credit for being such a great peacemaker, such a martyr, and such a sacrificial idealist to make peace with Israel! As for Mubarak, he is a strong man, strong-willed. He looks unto his own ways. But that kingdom fights even among itself, and that house shall not stand.
He is a man who is set in his ways. He is strong in his own eyes. Yet there are many hidden sorrows, there are many deep disappointments. There were many opportunities for him to give in, but he would not. He turned to his own strength. Within himself he struggles, he fights, he knows not where his loyalties should be. He has compromised so many times, and knows not what is right.
You can bet your boots the US promised him everything if he would make peace with Israel, and they have been delivering. They give Egypt now almost as much aid as Israel. Israel’s getting US$2 or 3 billion a year. Egypt got US$1.2 billion this past year.
Of course, they’re not going to give as much to Egypt, former enemies, as they are to their dear friends and relatives the Jews!

Note: Originally scheduled to be a discussion of the recently-leaked documents known as "The Palestine Papers," this program will now also focus on the continuing dramatic events in Egypt and how change there may impact Palestinian prospects for a homeland.
Al Jazeera, the Dubai-based satellite news organization, recently released thousands of pages of classified documents that relate to the so-called "peace process" between Israel and Palestine, with the United States supposedly serving as an impartial broker.
What do the papers tell us about the ever-frustrating peace process? The Israelis have long claimed the Palestinians are not interested in negotiations, yet the papers reveal astonishingly generous offers made by the Palestinians, offers that were refused out-of-hand by the Israeli side. Washington has long claimed to be playing the role of impartial broker of the peace talks, but again, the papers reveal a US that backs every Israeli negotiating position.
And now that these notes and memos have been released, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets that were never meant for public consumption, what becomes of the negotiations themselves, what will be the political fallout from the papers, in Palestine, Israel, and the US?

Many hidden sorrows in Egypt
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
Dear Editor,
No one should give President Hosni Mubarak too much credit for being such a great peacemaker, such a martyr, and such a sacrificial idealist to make peace with Israel! As for Mubarak, he is a strong man, strong-willed. He looks unto his own ways. But that kingdom fights even among itself, and that house shall not stand.
He is a man who is set in his ways. He is strong in his own eyes. Yet there are many hidden sorrows, there are many deep disappointments. There were many opportunities for him to give in, but he would not. He turned to his own strength. Within himself he struggles, he fights, he knows not where his loyalties should be. He has compromised so many times, and knows not what is right.
You can bet your boots the US promised him everything if he would make peace with Israel, and they have been delivering. They give Egypt now almost as much aid as Israel. Israel's getting US$2 or 3 billion a year. Egypt got US$1.2 billion this past year.
Of course, they're not going to give as much to Egypt, former enemies, as they are to their dear friends and relatives the Jews!

Letters to the Editor
Many hidden sorrows in Egypt
Tuesday, February 01, 2011
Dear Editor,
No one should give President Hosni Mubarak too much credit for being such a great peacemaker, such a martyr, and such a sacrificial idealist to make peace with Israel! As for Mubarak, he is a strong man, strong-willed. He looks unto his own ways. But that kingdom fights even among itself, and that house shall not stand.
He is a man who is set in his ways. He is strong in his own eyes. Yet there are many hidden sorrows, there are many deep disappointments. There were many opportunities for him to give in, but he would not. He turned to his own strength. Within himself he struggles, he fights, he knows not where his loyalties should be. He has compromised so many times, and knows not what is right.
You can bet your boots the US promised him everything if he would make peace with Israel, and they have been delivering. They give Egypt now almost as much aid as Israel. Israel's getting US$2 or 3 billion a year. Egypt got US$1.2 billion this past year.
Of course, they're not going to give as much to Egypt, former enemies, as they are to their dear friends and relatives the Jews!

Mubarak bought peace with Israel
Dear Editor: Egypt already made peace with Israel and is supported by the U.S. That peace was bought and paid for with U.S. dollars. Don't give Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak too much credit for being such a great peacemaker, martyr and sacrificial idealist for making peace with Israel. He is strong-willed, but his kingdom fights even among itself, and that house shall not stand.
Mubarak is a man set in his ways, strong in his own eyes. Yet there are many hidden sorrows and many deep disappointments. There were many he could have broken but would not. He turned to his own strength. He is like one who has sold his soul in order to gain the world. Within himself he struggles and fights, knows not where his loyalties should be. He has compromised so many times, and knows not what is right.
You can bet your boots the U.S. promised him everything if he would make peace with Israel, and we've been delivering. We give Egypt almost as much aid now as Israel. Israel's getting $2 billion or $3 billion a year. Egypt got $1.2 billion this past year.

Ignoring the crooks on Wall Street
Issues Beyond Palo Alto, posted by Ted Rudow III,MA, a member of the Palo Alto High School community,
Daniel Issa is about to head up a 'Witch hunt' against Obama. Issa as the incoming Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee vows to get President Obama. He even calls Obama one of the most corrupt presidents. Already cocked and loaded with subpoena power and some 208 'hearings' scheduled to investigate Stimulus Corruption, BP, Obama's Czars,Issa, vows to get President Obama. He even calls Obama one of the most corrupt presidents, So, Issa will spend his time ignoring the crooks on Wall Street and the-on going wars which have spent trillions. Richard Nixon, as a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, received national attention for his hostile questioning of Alger Hiss. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate following a bitter campaign in which he unfairly portrayed his opponent as a communist sympathizer; the epithet "Tricky Dick" dates from this period. They wouldn't listen to us about Nixon and his perfidy, but now he is exposed and deposed!

“Obama address focuses on Iran, N. Korea, omits Mideast peace”
January 27, 2011
What do the heads of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Motorola, General Electric, Boeing and the Carlyle Group have in common? They were all at the White House for the state dinner with President Hu Jintao.
Earlier, the White House announced $45 billion in new trade deals with China, including a $19 billion deal with Boeing and a package with GE expected to generate more than $2 billion in U.S. exports.
Over the last nine years, the United States has lost about 2.5 million jobs due to growing trade.

Stolen from them
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Sunday Jan 30th, 2011
The world to pay attention to its troubles and the plight of the poor when the poor finally rebel. They can't say, "Let them eat cake!" when they're storming the Bastille!
Those poor Arabs with their righteous cause in fighting for their lands that have been stolen from them! The Turks surrendered, the French surrendered, the British surrendered, the Germans have surrendered, and the Americans have pretty much surrendered …, but it looks like the Arabs are not going to surrender this time!--At least, not yet!
They could never have made their rebel under a more favourable world climate than at the present moment. I mean the Arabs had to take some action. They had to put the pressure on, or nobody would even listen! Otherwise, most of the would couldn't care less! It's very interesting, very exciting to see what's going to happen, but very sad for the poor kids that have to suffer the brunt of it in the front lines, be they Arabs or Jews! War is hell, no matter how you look at it!--And it's always the youth who suffer most! But it does bring decisions, and it does make changes, and it does precipitate crises.
America's in trouble no mater which way she stand! But the Arabs are the rising star the up-and-coming.

Allow the poor to survive!
Ted Rudow III , PO Box 296, Menlo Park,CA
It's been one year since the Haitian earthquake. Haitians are in a terrible state, living in abject poverty, filth and sewage.
It's hard for poor nations to get a break from the rich ones. While the rich may offer foreign aid with one hand, the actions of the other hand more than negate that aid! So they've helped the poor to avoid starvation, but done nothing to help them with their long-term problem of producing their own food. Not only that, but the IMF and other international lenders are often willing to provide loans to these poor countries to help their peoplebut part of the price is that these countries have to lower their import barriers and “liberalize” their economy. And the effect is usually that cheaper foreign food and goods (from the U.S. and other wealthy countries) flood into the poor country, meaning its own agriculture and industry has a very hard time getting off the ground. So the poor survive on the “aid” of the rich, but just barely, while rich Western politicians make speeches about how much they're trying to help the poor, but how little effect it seems to have and how their aid is wasted.

China hurting free market
What do the heads of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Motorola, General Electric, Boeing and the Carlyle Group have in common? They were all at the White House for the state dinner with President Hu Jintao. Earlier, the White House announced $45 billion in new trade deals with China, including a $19 billion deal with Boeing and a package with GE expected to generate more than $2 billion in U.S. exports.
Over the last nine years, the United States has lost about 2.5 million jobs due to growing trade deficits with China, more than a half-million jobs in the last year alone. We’ve lost jobs in every state. We’ve lost jobs in every congressional district in the country.
The problem is that the Chinese are violating many standards of the World Trade Organization — especially currency manipulation. China has spent almost $800 billion in the last year alone manipulating its currency. That makes its products about 40 percent cheaper than they would be on the open market and acts like a tax on U.S. exports to China and everywhere else in the world.

“Obama sees ‘puddles in heaven’ for slain girl”
Jan. 14, 2011
I refer to the Tucson, Arizona, shooting recently where six people died, including a 9-year-old child, and a U.S. congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, seriously wounded. All this is very sad.
They say that the religionists were the ones who supported Hitler the most in Germany, the Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, so-called most “holy” and Spirit-filled Christians. Most of the churches were said to be behind it, especially the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals who are supposed to really know Jesus. They seem to always manage to get on the wrong side and the worst side when it comes to war and all over the matter of religion! As long as the leader says he’s for religion they will fight for him and die for him and kill anybody in the name of Christ and religion. Who are those behind the attack in the U.S.?

Living Independently
Included in Brown's $3 billion in health and welfare spending cuts, is a plan to end the adult day care program. Many people use the service as a way to remain in their homes, rather than moving into far more costly nursing homes.
Nursing homes cost five times as much per IHSS client. The number of skilled-nursing-centre beds has dwindled through the years as IHSS’ success has grown at helping the elderly continue living independently.

Health care cuts
January 22, 2011,
Editor,
Included in Gov. Jerry Brown’s $3 billion in health and welfare spending cuts is a plan to end the adult day-care program. Many people use the service as a way to remain in their homes, rather than moving into far more costly nursing homes.
Nursing homes can cost as much as five times as much as In-Home Supportive Services. The number of skilled-nursing-center beds has dwindled through the years as IHSS’s success has grown at helping the elderly continue living independently.

What do the heads of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Motorola, General Electric, Boeing and the Carlyle Group have in common?

The United States has lost about two-and-a-half million jobsby Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Friday Jan 21st, 2011
What do the heads of Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Motorola, General Electric, Boeing and the Carlyle Group have in common? They all attended last night’s State Dinner with President Hu Jintao.
Earlier the White House announced $45 billion in new trade deals with China, including a $19 billion deal with Boeing and a package with GE expected to generate more $2 billion in U.S. exports.
Over the last nine years, the United States has lost about two-and-a-half million jobs due to growing trade deficits with China, more than a half-million jobs in the last year alone. We’ve lost jobs in every state. We’ve lost jobs in every congressional district in the country
The problem is that they are violating many, many standards of the World Trade Organization, the IMF, that they agreed to when they joined the WTO in 2001. For example, currency manipulation. China has spent almost $800 billion in the last year alone manipulating its currency. That makes its products about 40 percent cheaper than they would be on the open product and acts like a tax on U.S. exports to China and everywhere else in the world.

Letter: ROTC as a civil rights issue
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011 | By Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,There is an unfortunate and embarrassing tendency in some corners of American politics for the slogans of the civil rights movement to be employed in service of almost any political goal. This is usually done by those who still don’t really understand the legal and moral basis of the movement, and their rationale is that “everyone thinks those slogans stand for irrefutable moral truths, so if we say that those slogans support our position, people will feel obliged to agree with us.”A truly surprising and disgusting example of this sophistry was witnessed by all those who were present at the town hall meeting regarding ROTC last Tuesday. Incomprehensibly, the terms “separate but equal” and “busing” were used as part of an argument for ROTC’s return. It was also suggested that military-connected people are a “minority” and that the University should provide them with a “safe space on campus.” So as to avoid casting aspersions on all students who argued in support of ROTC, I should point out that a number of pro-ROTC students were shaking their heads in confusion and embarrassment while these arguments were being made.The heart of the matter, if it even needs clarification, is that joining ROTC is an occupational decision. “Military-connectedness” is qualitatively different to “race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, [or] gender identity” (quoting from Stanford’s nondiscrimination policy) in the same way that “Google-connectedness” (i.e., being a former, current or future Google employee) is qualitatively different. The U.S. military is an employer. You may think it is the greatest employer on the face of the earth or you may think it is repugnant, but neither viewpoint is necessarily relevant to the question at hand: whether Stanford University, as an institution, should treat the U.S. military any differently from the way it treats other employers.In effect, what those supporting ROTC’s return are arguing for is positive discrimination (in other words, “affirmative action”) on the basis of undergraduate students’ occupational decisions. When asked why all non-military employers located a similar distance from campus should not also be provided with on-campus facilities, the only way to defend ROTC’s return is to argue that Stanford should differentiate between military service and other types of employment in a way that defines military service as necessarily superior.The argument that Stanford’s undergraduate students currently have convenient access to every possible occupational opportunity other than the U.S. military, and that ROTC should be brought back to campus in order to rectify this “inequality,” has an obvious flaw: Stanford’s students do not have convenient access to anything close to every occupational opportunity, and it would be impossible for the University to make it so. As the majority of the 1969 Ad Hoc Committee on ROTC recognized, Stanford cannot be all things to all people and, as a result, the provision of facilities in support of one group of students’ occupational decisions would constitute an institutional preference for that occupation above all others.Sam Windley LL.M. ‘11President, Stanford Says No to War
Ted Rudow III,MA says:
January 20, 2011 at 1:08 pm
In “1984,” the state remained perpetually at war against a vague and ever-changing enemy. The war took place largely in the abstract, but it served as a convenient vehicle to fuel hatred, nurture fear and justify the regime’s autocratic practices. Before every war, there’s a long period of mental conditioning and psychological preparation. You never saw how self-righteous nations can get just before a war. So righteous and so convinced that they are right and the other fellow’s the criminal, the devil who needs to be conquered.
To say these things is practically heresy today, because of the years of propaganda!–All the propaganda they crammed down your throat when you were in school. Nations and people are terrified of terrorism, and many are quite willing to give up all sorts of freedoms — many of the very freedoms we are supposedly “fighting for” — to avoid it. In time of war the first casualty is truth. Sometimes fiction is just as strange as truth.
“Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.”

Alan Greenspan, renewed a warning on Saturday about the sizzling housing market, saying home prices may fall, slowing consumer spending, a chief ingredient for the economy's good health. A day earlier, he cautioned the public against thinking the value of homes and other investments will only go higher. If house prices fell suddenly or if interest rates rose quickly, it could clobber homeowners and lenders. Rising prices have helped make many people feel wealthier and thus more inclined to spend."

Not only is the United States robbing the poor countries who can no longer sell their goods to the U.S., but they are robbing their own public, who can no longer buy cheap foreign products. The U.S. refuses to help the poor countries by buying their cheap products, insisting on protecting their own rich wages and industries.
It’s just plain greed and selfishness. If governments were to worry more about feeding their people or feeding the other poor and needy of the world instead of arming themselves or fighting their neighbors, then there wouldn’t see nearly so many undernourished people.

Adult day care keeps costs down
Included in Gov. Jerry Brown's $3 billion in health and welfare spending cuts is a plan to end the adult day care program. Many people use the service as a way to remain in their homes, rather than moving into far more costly nursing homes.
Nursing homes cost five times as much per In-Home Supportive Service (IHSS) client. The number of skilled-nursing-center beds has dwindled through the years as IHSS' success has grown at helping the elderly continue living independently.

His dream
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Jan 15th, 2011
He had a dream and oh, what a dream it was. A dream of equality, a dream of unity, a dream of solidarity. What a fight, what a battle, as the brothers and sisters lifted their arms, hands raised and clasped together to show their strength and unity and oneness.
What a fight, as we marched and protested and sang our songs of triumph and spoke our words of courage. What a fight, as we lifted high the banner of equality -- equal rights for all men and women, regardless of color. What a fight, as we suffered humiliation and setbacks, degradation and injustice.
But I ask you, has that dream been realized? Has that dream come true in your life? Has that dream been fulfilled? Or have our ideals and our aspirations fallen by the wayside? Where is the unity, the brotherhood, the oneness of heart and spirit? Where is the fighting spirit and the willingness to sacrifice and work hard, to lift up your brothers and sisters and make for them a better life? Look around you and see if his dream and your dream, our dream, has become a reality.
He now knows that this equality, this oneness of the races, this love between the brethren, this better world, this dream that we all sought so desperately, cannot be found only through the path. That this dream can only become a reality through love, the supernatural Love of God. This is what brings unity. This is what brings equality. This is what brings mutual respect. This is what makes a man willing to look past the color of the skin and see the heart and spirit, to see each man, woman and child as a creation of God.

Much debate has been raised over the controversial Sarah Palin cross-hairs map featuring what clearly resembles gun sights over various congressional districts throughout America held by Democrats. SarahPAC, the Sarah Palin political action committee, used the cross-hairs map to target seats during the 2010 elections. Palin sent her condolences about the victims of the tragic shooting in Arizona, but the damage is done.

Some kill in the name of Christ
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Dear Editor,
I refer to the Tucson, Arizona, shooting on Saturday where six people died, including a nine-year-old child, and a US congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, seriously wounded. All this is very sad.
They say that the religionists were the ones who supported Hitler the most in Germany, the Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, so-called most 'holy' and Spirit-filled Christians. Most of the churches were said to be behind it, especially the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals who are supposed to really know Jesus.
They seem to always manage to get on the wrong side and the worst side when it comes to war and all over the matter of religion! As long as the leader says he's for religion they will fight for him and die for him and kill anybody in the name of Christ and religion.
Who are those behind Saturday's attack in the USA?

Unions have cause for fear
New census figures released recently show state revenues declined by nearly 31 percent in 2009, a $1.1 trillion loss. Underperforming investments by state pension funds and declining tax revenues were cited as the primary causes for the falling revenues.
Nicholas Johnson, director of the State Fiscal Project at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, told the Washington Post that next year will mark “the most difficult budget year for states ever.” A recent study by the group found that 40 states have projected budget gaps totaling $113 billion for next year. Forty-six states have raised taxes and made deep cuts to close a combined budget gap of $130 billion.
And the Republicans are now trying to spoil life for unions by taking away their right to bargain. They are also trying to push through several measures that would make it harder for unions to collect dues money to be used in politics or just to run the unions generally.
Unions are very alarmed right now about what’s going on.

And the Republicans are now trying to spoil life for unions by taking away their right to bargain. They’re also pushing through several—trying to push through several measures that would make it harder for unions to collect dues money to be used in politics or just to run the unions generally. Unions are very alarmed right now about what’s going on.
“When the Nazis came for the Communists, I didn't speak up, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I was a Protestant, so I didn't speak up. Then they came for me ... and by that time, there was no one left to stand up for me.” German Minister Martin Niemoller

Witch Hunt
Daniel Issa is about to head up a 'Witch hunt' against Obama. Issa as the incoming Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee vows to get President Obama. He even calls Obama one of the most corrupt presidents. Already cocked and loaded with subpoena power and some 208 'hearings' scheduled to investigate Stimulus Corruption, BP, Obama's Czars,Issa, vows to get President Obama. He even calls Obama one of the most corrupt presidents, So, Issa will spend his time ignoring the crooks on Wall Street and the-on going wars which have spent trillions. Richard Nixon, as a member of the House Un-American Activities Committee, received national attention for his hostile questioning of Alger Hiss. In 1950 he was elected to the Senate following a bitter campaign in which he unfairly portrayed his opponent as a communist sympathizer; the epithet "Tricky Dick" dates from this period. They wouldn't listen to us about Nixon and his perfidy, but now he is exposed and deposed!
