How can anybody be Persian? By Manouchehr Mottaki In his masterpiece, Persian Letters, published in 1721, the great French philosopher Charles-Louis de Montesquieu ponders the surprising behaviors of the French: his Iranian traveler Rica, arriving in Paris, decides to dress like the French and learns with astonishment that his French friends no longer treat him with admiration that they previously had for him. This dualism in the behavior of French society of the 18th century leads the traveler to wonder how it is possible to be Iranian and to live in another world, namely the West. The history of the Iranian nuclear issue raises the same question. Indeed, thirty years ago, when a ...

[connecting some dots.....] Dave McGowan Newsletter #70 Beware the 'Peak Oil' Agenda [Editor's Note: Dave McGowan deserves a Pulitzer for not only helping to unmask the Peak Oil scam, but also revealing the true colors of Michael Ruppert, the principle mole in charge of Peak Oil disinformation. Michael Ruppert calls his web site, "From the Wilderness (FTW), as if he's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and is letting us 'civilians' in on the real deal in world politics. His rise to national recognition is a typical covert grooming job to establish Ruppert as one of the Good Guys of the internet world whose only interests are that of Truth, Justice, and Honor; ...
THIS IS A REAL EMERGENCY

The returns from my test of the real “emergency broadcasting system” are in. My thanks go out to everyone who bothered to participate in the survey—particularly those who took the extra time and effort to append a personal note to their responses. The results are as follows: Total responses: 277 Fully favorable responses: 273 (98.5%) Fully unfavorable responses: 1 (0.4%) Partially favorable, partially unfavorable responses: 1 (0.4%) Responses that did not indicate any choices: 2 (0.7%) What conclusions can one draw from this? First, 277 is a vanishingly small number, compared to the tens of millions of Americans who ought to be paying attention to these matters. So it ...
Why Government Is Responsible for the Saggy Pants Problem

Dr. Paul Hein makes some excellent observations with regard to the outrageousness of the city of Atlanta attempting to impose a ban on saggy pants. But, I believe that the problem goes even beyond the attempt by a government to become fashion police. It is in fact the government that is responsible for the saggy fashion in the first place. I came across this discovery on a recent trip to New York City. I have a good friend that owns a pawn-shop there. I visited him at his shop. It is on the edge of what would certainly be deemed a tough neighborhood. Although my friend has the place stocked with hidden guns and baseball bats, I would still wince every time someone came in that I would deem ...
Wolves and Sheep

DIGG THIS In his new book A Nation of Sheep, Fox News Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano argues that, in the political arena, there are two types of people: wolves and sheep. Wolves love liberty and understand those who would trade liberty for security deserve – and will receive – neither. Sheep, by contrast, trust government to take care of them and are happily willing to give up liberty when demagogic politicians tell them it is necessary for "national security." Fortunately for America, our Founding Fathers were wolves who seceded from a tyrannical centralized government and created a new one of limited power, governed by a Constitution that sets explicit ...

Nigeria: Femme Point - Still On Black And White Intelligence Daily Trust (Abuja) OPINION 29 October 2007 Posted to the web 29 October 2007 Zainab Kperogi When I read James Dewey Watson's thesis, I knew that he had not only stirred the hornet's nest, but has actually ripped through it. Instantly, I knew that reactions will come in torrents and sure they came in thick and fast. Among the tonnes of articles that have been written, two articles written by Simon Kolawole in the Thisday of Sunday, October 21 and Idang Alibi's column of Thursday, October 25 in Daily Trust, made interesting reading.

Photo: AP / Charlie Neibergall If Texas congressman Ron Paul is elected president in 2008, he may be the first leader of the free world put into power with the help of a global network of hacked PCs spewing spam, according to computer-security researchers who've analyzed a recent flurry of e-mail supporting the long-shot Republican candidate. "This is clearly a criminal act in support of a campaign, which has been committed with or without their ...

Illuminati Defector: 'Rothschilds Rule With Druid Witches' By Henry Makow PhD 10-31-7 Halloween is an appropriate time to learn that a "Grand Druid Council" of 13 "Witches" control the Illuminati, and meets eight times annually on the "Witches' Sabbaths" (incl. Halloween) when millions of occult practitioners engage in orgies, which sometimes involve human sacrifice. My source is the highest Illuminati defector in history, a Witch High Priest, a member of the Council of Thirteen, and part of the Collins Illuminati bloodline that brought Witchcraft to the US in the 17th Century. He casts the Illuminati as a vast, highly-organized and powerful ...

Why Americans Will Believe Almost Anything By Tim O'Shea 10-30-7 Aldous Huxley's inspired 1954 essay detailed the vivid, mind-expanding, multisensory insights of his mescaline adventures. By altering his brain chemistry with natural psychotropics, Huxley tapped into a rich and fluid world of shimmering, indescribable beauty and power. With his neurosensory input thus triggered, Huxley was able to enter that parallel universe described by every mystic and space captain in recorded history. Whether by hallucination or epiphany, Huxley sought to remove all bonds, all controls, all filters, all cultural conditioning from his perceptions and to confront Nature or the World or ...

PJB: The Recantation of Dr. Watson posted by Linda by Patrick J. Buchanan For Dr. James Watson, 79-year-old co-winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize for medicine for his discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA, October marked the nadir of a brilliant career. The month began with Watson headed to London to promote his new book, “Avoid Boring People: Lessons From a Life in Science,” and to lecture to a sold-out audience at the prestigious Science Museum. An author’s dream tour. Last week, his lecture was canceled, his tour terminated, his 40-year tenure as chancellor of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island came to an end. Across Britain, he was being denounced as a ...

Getting your victims to love you Dr. Azmi Bishara October 28, 2007 If you want to understand the magnitude of the Palestinian tragedy and the depths of their dilemma take a look at the recent decree issued by the Israeli Ministry of Education which in essence asks Jewish and Arab schoolchildren to sign the Israeli declaration of independence as part of the celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel. In a statement distributed to the schools the ministry's Society and Youth Administration set the following objectives for the jubilee: "To commemorate the passage of 60 years since the establishing of the state of Israel in the Arab and Jewish educational ...

Scott Ritter: Calling Out Idiot America A Dig led by Scott Ritter The ongoing hand-wringing in Congress by the newly empowered Democrats over what to do about the war in Iraq speaks volumes about the level of concern (or lack thereof) these “representatives of the people” have toward the men and women who honor us all by serving in the armed forces of the United States of America. The inability to reach consensus concerning the level of funding required or how to exercise effective oversight of the war, both constitutionally mandated responsibilities, is more a reflection of congressional cowardice and impotence than a byproduct of any heartfelt introspection over troop welfare ...
Rudy Giuliani shows his Ignorance of the Second Amendment

During a town hall meeting in northwestern New Hampshire last week, presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani told a former police office: "You have a constitutional right, that is protected, to bear and carry arms. It is the Second Amendment. If someone disagrees with that, you have to get the Constitution changed." Since Mr. Giuliani is a former federal prosecutor and these individuals' knowledge of the Constitution appears to be limited to reading court cases, the author decided to use a United States Supreme Court case to show prospective voters, who care about gun rights, that Giuliani is totally ignorant of the nature of the Second Amendment. In 1875, in the case of United ...

Do you know why ducks have flat feet? From stamping out forest fires. Do you know why elephants have flat feet? From stamping out flaming ducks. Ok, ok ... it's old and it's juvenile, but it was funny the first time you heard it - admit it.

No, I didn't think it was funny, either, until I really got to thinking about the spectacle this past Friday and how frustrated Ben and his buddies must have been. Now that was funny! WhirlyBen's feet have to be sore today. All he got for his efforts was a new, all-time low for the ...

Excerpt: ...the tightness in oil inventories (which freemarketeers invoke to 'splain the spike in oil prices whenever Cheney growls) isn't some Natural Law we have to just live with, but rather the result of a conscious policy by oil companies to suppress supply, reap unprecedented profits, and miserably fail, by the way, to reinvest those bazillions into increased refining capacity. The other is by Jack Miles, the Pultizer Prize-winning author of God: A Biography, who wrote a tremendously illuminating and deeply depressing piece on TomDispatch.com called "Endgame for Iraq Oil?"

The National Guard, albeit only 1500 of them, are on our borders. Unarmed. Yet during these recent fires in San Diego the National Guard carried their M16A2 rifles with a magazine inserted. I'm not sure if they have ammo, but they are carrying weapons. Kind of makes one wonder who our governments, both state and federal, view as the enemy.

The conventional wisdom says it was a partially-built nuclear reactor, maybe constructed with North Korean help. Arms Control Wonk Jeffrey Lewis isn't so sure. The New York Times' Mark Mazzetti and Bill Broad have two very good stories on the suspect site in Syria — one placing the leaks about the site in context of Administration internal debates over North Korea; the other reporting on new satellite imagery showing that North Korea has wiped clean the site.

I have not received any information that there is a concrete active nuclear weapons program going on right now," the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told CNN. "Even if Iran were to be working on a nuclear weapon ... they are at least a few years from having such a weapon," he said, citing assessments by US officials themselves. "At this stage we need to continue to work through creative diplomacy ... as I don't see any other solution than diplomacy and inspections," Mr ElBaradei said. The White House on Saturday rejected any parallels between its Iran rhetoric and the run-up to the Iraq invasion, after fresh sanctions on Tehran and ...

Among pint-sized cheerleaders, itty-bitty beauty queens, and in the malls of America, the sassy-sexy look isn't just for teens anymore. Some say younger girls are going shorter and barer -- taking their cues from characters like the Cheetah Girls, the Pussycat Dolls and the Bratz dolls -- and some observers are saying they've had enough. Related Stories Celia Rivenbark, a mom who hit her breaking point with the shrinking fashions, wrote a book called, "Stop Dressing Your Six Year Old Like a Skank."

October 7, 2007 ESSAY; Libel Without Borders By RACHEL DONADIO When it first appeared in 2006, ''Alms for Jihad,'' an academic book on Islamic charitable networks by two American scholars, drew scant attention. It sold a modest 1,500 copies and received few reviews. But in recent weeks the book has become an international cause célèbre, after Cambridge University Press agreed to pulp all unsold copies in a defamation settlement. Last spring, Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz, a powerful Saudi businessman and banker to the Saudi royal family who is based in Jeddah, sued the publisher over the book's depiction of his family as financiers of terrorism.

New sanctions against Iran will accomplish nothing By William O. Beeman The Bush administration declared new economic sanctions against Iran Oct. 25. The sanctions, announced by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, like those already in place, will accomplish nothing except to increase international tensions. The new sanctions are an extension of a long-standing failed policy first begun under the Reagan administration, and extended under the Clinton administration. The United States is acting totally alone; it is not supported by any other nation. American dealings with Iran have failed in large part because the United States has never articulated what it wants to accomplish. They ...

Putin denounces ‘madman’ with knife approach to Iran Carter says attack on Iran will be 'horrible mistake' LISBON, Portugal (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced what he called the “madman waving a knife” approach to diplomatic negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program. “To run around like a madman waving a knife is not the best way forward,'' Putin said in response to a reporter's question at a Lisbon press conference Thursday, following talks with Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva. “Why drive the situation into a dead end?” The U.S. claims that Iran's uranium enrichment program is aimed ...
