A FAMILY has been told to get rid of their pet fish - or face the threat of eviction. Fiona and Rick, who asked that their surname not be published, and their three children were shocked when their landlord issued a notice saying they were in breach of their tenancy agreement because they had a tank with 15 South American fish in it. The couple admit they broke their agreement by getting a cat - to control rats from nearby bush - and have given it away. But Fiona says the demand to get rid of the fish and their son's pet parrot is heartless and ridiculous. The Tenants Union of Queensland says the case is a sign of the times, as landlords almost routinely ban animals, making family ...
How to Get Universal Health Care

How to Get Universal Health Care Joel S. Hirschhorn Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama say they believe in giving Americans universal health care. I don’t believe them. Anyone who takes the time to understand universal health care should conclude that only a simple single payer system will reform the current outrageous system that benefits the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. The contorted plans from Clinton and Obama are not sufficient reforms. And what John McCain has proposed is sheer nonsense and by itself should cause any conscious American to avoid voting for him. Fights for health care system reform are centered in Congress, as if legislators will do what they have ...

If I Were President By Chuck Baldwin May 2, 2008 This column is archived at http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2008/cbarchive_20080502.html Due to my frequent criticisms of President George W. Bush, I am often asked what I would do if I were President of these United States. This column will serve as an attempt to answer that question. If I were President, I would begin the process of safely extracting our troops from Iraq. In the first place, our troops are no longer fighting a war, they are an occupation force, which occupies a sovereign country. And this is being done without a Declaration of War. The Iraqi people resent our occupation as much as we would resent another nation ...
FLDS PROBLEM [State Benefits]

The FLDS problem Public Forum Letter Article Last Updated: 04/30/2008 06:37:02 PM MDT While emotionally appealing, the plea that the Texas FLDS children be returned to their parents fails to answer the question, "What then?" The Short Creek "return policy" has resulted in: the "lost boys," welfare fraud amounting to billions of dollars, 15-year-old girls exercising "free will" to marry 50-year-old men (please!), and women "reassigned" to new husbands outside the bounds of secular law. Which action presents the greater evil? Nature provides a near 50/50 ratio of female to male, yet in the Texas compound there are four women to every man. ...

Moneychangers Destroying America--And Christians Don't See Itby Chuck Baldwin February 26, 2008 "And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables." John 2:13-15 (KJV) The moneychangers of Jesus' day were the equivalent of the international bankers of our day. With the consent and approbation of the Jewish leaders, these bankers set up shop in the Temple. Their purpose was ...

Permanent wars for oil and permanent terrorismBy Rodrigue TremblayOnline Journal Guest Writer May 1, 2008, 00:16 “Oil in the next war will occupy the place of coal in the present war, or at least a parallel place to coal. The only big potential supply that we can get under British control is the Persian [now Iran] and Mesopotamian [now Iraq] supply. . . . Control over these oil supplies becomes a first class British war aim.” --Sir Maurice Hankey, Britain’s First Secretary of the War Cabinet, 1918 "Whatever their publicized angst over Saddam Hussein's 'weapons of mass destruction,' American and British authorities were also concerned about violence in ...

The ‘Invisible Hand’ is picking your pocketBy Jerry MazzaOnline Journal Associate Editor May 1, 2008, 00:24 The Invisible Hand is a notion brought to us by Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations. It poses that, “in a free market, an individual pursuing his own self-interest tends to also promote the good of his community,” cough, cough. If you believe that, you’ll love how Smith subsequently reasoned that each individual, “maximizing revenue for himself maximizes the total revenue of society as a whole.” This gave the rich and greedy the right to plunder with impunity with the blessing of god, now as well as in Smith’s late 18th Century. But what ...

It was after writing the title to this article that I realized it's not just TV that isn't fun anymore. Almost NOTHING is fun anymore! In the 50s and 60s people were positive. Wow! We live in the Twentieth Century! Hallelujah! The Space Race is GO! We're going to the moon! Cars are V8 two-tone convertibles with bigger tailfins every year! Let's grab a burger and Coke and take in a movie at the drive-in! Listen to the radio! The music's fun! Les Paul and Mary Ford! How high the moon! The Beach Boys! California Girls! TV is fun to watch! Maverick, Ed Sullivan, The Monkees, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy. They're all fun! Even the US pavilion at Expo 58 in Brussels is ...
Getting Over Scalia

Getting Over Scalia A thug is a thug, regardless of his ethnic identity, whether his thuggery is perpetrated at the point of a gun or the point of a pen. During an interview that aired on "60 Minutes" on April 27, Antonin Scalia demonstrated, in his inability to discuss articulately the decision of the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, just how vacuous and hypocritical the legal reasoning behind that tragic theft of democracy truly was. Shockingly, after suggesting that anyone who has the gall to question the decision should “get over it,” Scalia then pronounced that Bush would have won the election anyway and the result would not have been different had the Supreme Court ...

Well, it is likely that Sen. Barack Obama won't be going back to Trinity United Church of Christ. Not after this. On Tuesday, Obama responded to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's ill-timed defense by condemning his former pastor's fresh comments as "ridiculous," "outrageous" and "appalling." "When he states and then amplifies such ridiculous proposition as the U.S. government somehow being involved in AIDS, when he suggests that Minister Farrakhan somehow represents one of the greatest voices in the 20th and 21st century, when he equates the United States wartime effort with terrorism, then there are no excuses," Obama said during a press ...
Ranting Rev's Education Theories Strike At Heart of Obama Campaign

The Ranting Rev is back, trailing malodorous clouds of sulfurous new controversy, imperiling the Obama campaign at its very core. The Obama promise of “a more perfect union” directly contradicts the Jeremiah Wright insistence on unbridgeable racial difference and distinction. Nothing makes this pastor-protégé conflict more obvious or more significant than Wright’s crackpot theories on education and his fiery insistence that the different “brains” of black kids and white kids require totally different educational approaches. In his Detroit NAACP speech on Sunday night, Dr. Wright cited (and somewhat distorted) the controversial work of a professor at ...
10 Steps to Destroy A Local Community

Step 1: Tolerance The path to hell is always paved with good intentions. First you need to accept and love all people that want to live in your community. That includes your violent and stupid neighbour next door that currently has made the three frivolous women of the community pregnant and has produced 15 lovely children that harass people and cause trouble as a hobby. You accept them, because they work hard at the Capital Factory, where many citizens earn their living. Step 2: Equality A community that's divided doesn't work, so all children have to attend the same school. Since most children, even if coming from healthy and stable families, are easily influenced by other ...

The Southern Poverty Law Center, prominent Jewish “civil liberties” group, recently alerted 300,000 influential people—including human rights groups, politicians and 60,000 law enforcement officers—that Rev. Ted Pike's National Prayer Network and Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) are both "active U.S. hate groups." SPLC calls us dangerous extremist organizations. It wants police and government to watch us closely. (See, http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp) TVC is a mainstream evangelical, ardently pro-Zionist watchdog group. Its head is Jewish Christian, Louis P. Sheldon. How did this group make it on SPLC’s “Year in Hate” list? ...

America does want change, but unfortunately Senator Barrack Obama's call for a conversation about race has taken a sinister turn for the worse for European American whites. Apparently, Senator Obama and the supportive news/commentary pundits in America think that a conversation about race really means opening the flood gates from the African American community about their real and perceived grievances in America; while European Americans are assumed to not have any grievances and therefore are devoid of an opportunity to have a say in the alleged race conversation. Without an airing of the European American community's grievances the race conversation is clearly and simply a ...

The Total Witlessness of Obama Apologists Rick Moran Barack Obama’s problem associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, and William Ayers have really got the creative juices flowing on the Left as they twist themselves into rhetorical and intellectual pretzels trying to downplay or dismiss, their candidate’s monumentally poor judgment in hanging around with these folks for much of his adult life. Some may read this apologia for Obama’s associations from Reed Hundt at TPM Cafe and shake their heads in wonderment at the cluelessness of the author. Others may marvel at the sheer brazenness of Hundt’s dismissive comments about Ayers and Wright, admiring the guts it ...

The powers that be have decreed that homosexuality and all its variations are normal, and woe to anyone who dares question this alternate lifestyle. Homosexuality has been added to the list of topics, along with race and global warming, that is off limits for discussion. The debate has been declared over. Homosexuality, which not very long ago was defined as a “disorder” in medical journals, is well on its way to becoming a lifestyle option. Despite the fact that it is based on a premise which has been thoroughly discredited. The normalization of homosexuality has its genesis in 1948, when Alfred Kinsey published the first ever study of male human sexuality. Entitled the Kinsey ...

In the study of History, it is important to introduce students to the use of original documents. After all, isn’t it better to read about the way things were through the words of those who were there, and the thinkers who rousted the stream of time from its sluggish, slumbering flow? Who better to tell us what was thought, believed, and acted upon? Certainly not the five or six generations removed, politically-correct, bowdlerized textbooks available to us today. At least that’s what I’ve always thought. But I have come to the sorrowful conclusion that today’s school brainwashing works, closing minds to reality, based on a recent conversation in my classroom. I am sure ...

‘Blood diamonds,’ ‘blood oil’ and ‘blood food’By Pablo OuzielOnline Journal Contributing Writer Apr 29, 2008, 00:13 For awhile now, I have been thinking about what George W. Bush signifies from a socio-political perspective. Looking at the world from the time of the ‘Big Bang’ of September 11, 2001, until today almost seven years later, one can clearly observe how monstrous our human interaction has become. After much reading and analysis, I now understand that September 11 was not the starting point of a new world order, but to the contrary, it was purely the end of a specific human state of affairs. When one grows up in the West, our history ...

If you interview someone for a job, you’ll expect him to tell you what you want to hear. There’ll be a façade, and his darker side will remain well-hidden. Now, let’s say a requirement for the job is that the applicant likes children, and he does his best Captain Kangaroo. But then you find out he has a job history of indifference to and perhaps even abuse of them and that, during unguarded moments, he has expressed disdain for them. What will you believe, what he tries to sell you or history and hair-down revelations? Remember this when evaluating the profound discrepancy between Barack Obama’s damage-control denials and flowery rhetoric, and his long track ...

Do you watch the news on TV? I don't. In fact, there are times when I will not turn on the TV for a week. My wife will, but only, of course, to Spanish stations, and that is a real chore to listen to (for me), so I don't pay attention anyway. I read. But Sunday morning, just for a change, I decided to do something different. With all of the news shows and Meet the Press B.S. on, OK, I will 'check it out' and see if anything has changed. After all, the reason I do not watch is the lying, so maybe.... Not! I did not have the TV on for more than 5 minutes before I was shaking my head, dumbfounded at the stupidity. Not of the actors cum news reporters on the screen; the ...
Green Scare State Terrorism

Green Scare State Terrorism - by Stephen Lendman In May 2005, FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterterrorism John Lewis told a Senate panel that ecoterrorism is "one of today's most serious domestic terrorism threats." Then the FBI's James Jarboe estimated that two organizations (the Earth Liberation Front - ELF and Animal Liberation Front - ALF) committed over 600 criminal acts since 1996, causing over $43 million in damage. For his part, Lewis said both groups committed more than 1100 such acts since 1976, "conservatively" resulting in around $110 million in damages. What's going on, and is there anything to these charges? Coming from FBI sources ...

McCain: ‘A lot of our problems today are psychological.’» This week on Fox News, Neil Cavuto asked Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) about the worth of rescinding an 18-cent gas tax as prices at the pump escalate this summer. McCain responded that “a lot of our problems today” are “psychological” — even the “ability to keep our own home”: I’m very concerned about it, Neil. And obviously the way it’s been going up is just terrible. But I think psychologically — and a lot of our problems today, as you know, are psychological — the confidence, trust, the uncertainty about our economic future, ability to keep our own home.
