Christine and the Bugs In Fuji

Chris, you mentioned that the bugs might be bad in Fiji, so I loaded up with repellent. Either they all drowned in the massive floods or they are getting ready to hatch. But from what I can see, in Nadi they have all been poisoned by the diesel fumagation from the buses, killed them all, not a bug to be seen. Now they are working on the humans, cough cough. Anybody want to buy some sun screen?? For sale cheap, will trade for tattered umberalla.
Devvy: VOTE FRAUD AND THE G.O.P. CONVENTION DELEGATES

Before I get into vote fraud, my mail box has been drowning in e-mail from Americans who are very alarmed about Barack Obama. Not all, of course. One man said in his e-mail that he didn't believe what I wrote in my last column. He said, Obama is a "good person." Obama gave him "hope" and "inspiration." It didn't seem to bother this man that Obama's past history includes a cozy relationship with a known communist or that he knows nothing about constitutional solutions. Will it bother Obama faithful that he supports a "world order"? Watch this short video clip of Obama and listen to what he says: That "we" must invest (that's ...

Washington v. Cuba After Castro - by Stephen Lendman On February 18, at 5:30PM in Havana an era ended when Fidel Castro's written statement announced it. It was read on early Tuesday morning radio and television and reprinted in the Cuban newspaper Granma as follows: "....I will neither aspire to nor accept, I repeat, I will neither aspire to nor accept the positions of President of the State Council and Commander in Chief....it would be a betrayal to my conscience to accept a responsibility requiring more mobility and dedication than I am physically able to offer....Fortunately, our Revolution can still count on cadres from the old guard and others....who learned together with ...
Rained Five Inches Last Night In Fiji

Been in Fiji for five days or so. Last night I was awoken by a tremendous roar and after a moment realized a mother of storms was above me. Went to the balcony and saw a world class rainstorm going on, five inches I would guess. All the buses were stopped in the morning to let the roads drain, but around noon made it to Nadi to take care of some business (OK, OK to buy some beer for the weekend). Got my camera stolen by some Europeans while I was trying to save a buck by staying in a 15 $$/ night hostel, so all of my pictures are gone including the last pics I am nearly sure to have of my father. Assume everyones a thief till proven other wise I suppose. Pics are not mine. The ...
Does the fiery spirit of 1776 still burn?

Today we celebrate our right to overthrow the government. There is no pussyfooting around this fact. It is the central meaning of Independence Day. Today's firecrackers are reminders of the bloody war we were willing to fight against the British to win freedom. Bang. We can try to rename today's holiday the more innocuous "Fourth of July." We can outlaw firecrackers on the grounds of nuisance and fire hazard and you'll-put-somebody's-eye-out. But so far nobody has been able to rewrite the Declaration of Independence itself, and the words of that document are crystal clear. Today is a spiritual, passionate, angry, violent holiday for a modern society that is ...
The next big default that no one has mentioned yet.

This is pretty typical of the disconnect from reality that has become our national pastime...insanity. You have just a whole lot of people that can't pay the bankers, basically in one form or another, right? Okay then, what does that leave for taxes to the government? Default. And lower revenue among those who do pay into the system. The politicians are so perfectly insane, with such a wish for obsolescence, that they are now talking about RAISING taxes. I really can't think of a faster way to create a huge backlash than by displaying the spectacular lack of wisdom peculiar to all politicians and administrative twerps that always amounts to putting out a fire with gasoline. ...
Delusional Hope: The Obama Rapture

Delusional Hope: The Obama Rapture Joel S. Hirschhorn Never have so many hoped for so much because of rollicking rhetoric and pulsating platitudes. A tsunami of hope has plunged America into electoral euphoria. In its path is the wreckage of critical thinking about what ails the US and what bold, revolutionary actions are needed. Barry Obama has accomplished semantic alchemy, turning justified but grim distrust and outrage with government and politics into hallelujah hope. But most hope never materializes and is a terrible predictor of reality. Think about the prevalence of hope: sports teams heading into a championship game, research scientists envisioning a Nobel Prize, people in the ...

Potential Health Hazards of Genetically Engineered Foods - by Stephen Lendman This article discusses the potential health risks of genetically engineered foods (GMOs). It draws on some previously used material because its importance bears repeating. It also cites three notable books and highlights one in particular - Jeffrey Smith's "Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods." Detailed information from the book is featured below. Genetically engineered foods saturate our diet today. In the US alone, over 80% of all processed foods contain them. Others include grains like rice, corn and wheat; legumes like soybeans and soy products; ...

But my friends, I cannot succeed in this endeavor without the support of dedicated conservatives FOOLS AND DUPES like you. And today, I write HAVE THE ...

Mukasey's skillful evasions on torture
Post Date: 2008-02-20 06:01:19 by Ada
0 Comments
On television, and in the transcript of Attorney General Michael Mukasey's Jan. 30 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he certainly showed that he is semantically much more skilful in evading questions than his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales. But Mr. Mukasey also demonstrated that he will not restore the credibility of the Justice Department's commitment to the rule of law — under this administration. Mr. Mukasey's continued refusal to say whether waterboarding is torture or to conduct a criminal investigation of its use by the CIA is ludicrous in the face of the newly published, heavily documented 849-page "Torture and Democracy" by Professor Darius ...
That Newfangled Light Bulb

That Newfangled Light Bulb Across the world, consumers are being urged to stop buying outdated incandescent light bulbs and switch to new spiral fluorescent bulbs, which use about 25 percent of the energy and last 10 times longer. In Britain, there is a Ban the Bulb movement. China is encouraging the change. And the United States Congress has set new energy efficiency standards that will make Edison’s magical invention obsolete by the year 2014. Now, the question is how to dispose of these compact fluorescent bulbs once they break or quit working. Unlike traditional light bulbs, each of these spiral bulbs has a tiny bit of a dangerous toxin — around five milligrams of mercury. ...
French riots update

Do you remember the French Riots that occur on a regular basis but that are described by the media as simply the products of 'youths' (and not organised pogroms by Islamist youth and criminal gangs to drive the police out of Muslim areas and create Sharia Zones under the control of the Jihadists in our cities). According to the media these riot were spontaneous and unorganised outbreaks of rage by poor, unemployed and racially oppressed youths. Today the French police undertook raids against the 'ringleaders' of the riots. The fact that the French police are targeting 'ringleaders' suggests that the British media were talking a load of old bollocks about the riots ...

Few names from the 20th century conjure up such mythic images of superhuman achievement and even saintliness. Much like your Savant, he was a polymath, scientist, philosopher and gifted musician. But without my sporting gifts – you can't have everything, I suppose. A qualified doctor, in 1913, at the age of 38, he departed for French Equatorial Africa to create and lead a hospital there. He spent most of the next four decades of his life there (his family were back in Europe) and he died there 1965. During this time he cared for individual patients, constructed an ever-expanding array of hospital buildings, continued his philosophical and theological writings by kerosene lantern ...
Is The Handwriting On The Wall For America?

"In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote." Daniel 5:5 (KJV) "And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided." Daniel 5:26-28 (KJV) Secularists will not admit it, but nations rise and fall at the pleasure of Almighty God. America's founders certainly understood this fact. Even Benjamin Franklin, ...
Large Potential Albanian Oil and Gas Discovery Underscores Kosovo's Importance

Large Potential Albanian Oil and Gas Discovery Underscores Kosovo's Importance - by Stephen Lendman On January 10, Swiss-based Manas Petroleum Corporation broke the news. Gustavson Associates LLC's Resource Evaluation identified large prospects of oil and gas reserves in Albania, close to Kosovo. They're in areas called blocks A, B, C, D and E, encompassing about 780,000 acres along the northwest to southeast "trending (geological) fold belt of northwestern Albania." Assigned estimates of the find (so far unproved) are up to 2.987 billion barrels of oil and 3.014 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. However, because of their depth, oil deposits may be capped with a ...
The Grand Old White Party Confronts Obama

THE curse continues. Regardless of party, it’s hara-kiri for a politician to step into the shadow of even a mediocre speech by Barack Obama. Senator Obama’s televised victory oration celebrating his Chesapeake primary trifecta on Tuesday night was a mechanical rehash. No matter. When the networks cut from the 17,000-plus Obama fans cheering at a Wisconsin arena to John McCain’s victory tableau before a few hundred spectators in the Old Town district of Alexandria, Va., it was a rerun of what happened to Hillary Clinton the night she lost Iowa. Senator McCain, backed by a collection of sallow-faced old Beltway pols, played the past to Mr. Obama’s here and now. Mr. McCain ...

Bush and ExxonMobil v. Chavez - by Stephen Lendman Since the Bush administration took office in January 2001, it's targeted Hugo Chavez relentlessly. From the aborted two-day April 2002 coup attempt to the 2002-03 oil management lockout to the failed 2004 recall referendum to stoking opposition rallies against the constitutional reform referendum to constant pillorying in the media to funding opposition candidates in elections to the present when headlines like the Reuters February 7 one announced: "Courts freeze $12 billion Venezuela assets in Exxon row." Call it the latest salvo in Bush v. Chavez with ExxonMobil (EM) its lead aggressor and the long arm of the CIA and ...

Experts Scoff at Sat Shoot-Down Rationale (Updated) By Noah Shachtman EmailFebruary 15, 2008 | 4:34:00 PMCategories: Missiles, Space Ddg73sm3launch_2The Pentagon says it has to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite because of the threat of a toxic gas cloud. Space security experts are calling the rationale highly unlikely. "Having the US government spend millions of dollars to destroy a billion-dollar failure to save zero lives is comedic gold," one tells DANGER ROOM. Yesterday, Deputy National Security Advisor James Jeffrey said the satellite's tank full of hydrazine rocket propellant was the main reason the military was planning to blast the orbiter. There's a ...

It seems only fair to me. A couple of weeks ago, our so-called President got his say, then the so-called Democrats gave their response. Now, all that is missing is the truth. I intend to give at least part of that to you today. What's more, I see this "State of the Revolution" report being necessary at least once each year, until it no longer is necessary because America has ceased to exist or until it no longer is possible, likely because I am dead or in jail. Others will pick up the standard, in that event. I have deferred release of this for a time, just in case the "Super Tuesday" primary elections might have been allowed to be somewhat real (they weren't) ...

DESPITE THEIR CURRENT NOTORIETY, HAPPY ENDINGS ARE PART OF THEIR JOBS, NOT THEIR FATES Coupla Fox whoresThat was the gist of how author Josh Kilmer-Purcell ended his column, "Career Tips For Future Whores of America," in the March issue of Out Magazine. The three "theirs" refers to Jeff Gannon, Matt Sanchez, and Mike Jones, male prostitutes who have achieved a great deal of celebrity-- or at least notoriety-- after their well-publicized careers involving sex with anti-gay Republican closet cases.Kilmer-Purcell begins with a complaint: "In my day [he's still in his 30s], male escorts were seen and not heard-- unless you paid for role-play. ...

They're Coming After You By Walter E. Williams Wednesday, February 13, 2008 My February 2002 column, "They're Coming After You," warned that Americans who enthusiastically supported the anti-tobacco zealots' attack on smokers were, like decent Germans did during the 1920s and '30s, building the Trojan Horse that would one day enable a tyrant to take over. The whole issue of tobacco smoke nuisance is really a private property issue where the owner should decide how his private property shall be used, whether it's an office building, restaurant, bar or home. That's unless one group of people wishes to use the coercive powers of government, in the name of ...

Who Is "Fascist"? By Thomas Sowell Thursday, February 14, 2008 Those who put a high value on words may recoil at the title of Jonah Goldberg's new book, "Liberal Fascism." As a result, they may refuse to read it, which will be their loss -- and a major loss. Those who value substance over words, however, will find in this book a wealth of challenging insights, backed up by thorough research and brilliant analysis. This is the sort of book that challenges the fundamental assumptions of its time -- and which, for that reason, is likely to be shunned rather than criticized. Because the word "fascist" is often thrown around loosely these days, as a general ...

February 16, 2008 -- LAST month, when an officer of the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission in terrogated him about his decision to reprint the notorious Muhammad cartoons that originally appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, Ezra Levant did not try to ingratiate himself. Levant, former publisher of the news magazine the Western Standard, called the commission "a sick joke," compared it unfavorably with Judge Judy and dared the "thug" across the table to recommend that he face a hearing for publishing material that offended Muslims. That way, Levant explained, he could be convicted, which would give him a chance to challenge the censorship that ...
