Feb. 27, 2007 — - Make no mistake: Former Vice President Al Gore will be our next president. I am as confident about that assertion as I am that George W. Bush will go down in history as America's worst president ever. Gore is the right man at the right time, for many reasons. And it's clear that the momentum and buzz is shifting his way big time. At Sunday's Oscar ceremony, Gore's movie producers took home the coveted prize for best feature documentary for "An Inconvenient Truth," his scorching red-flag raiser on global warming. Gore joined them on stage and was graceful, poised and presidential. And it didn't hurt his hipness quotient any to be getting ...

THE NORTH AMERICAN 'SOVIET' UNIONBy Charlotte IserbytFebruary 27, 2007 www.NewsWithViews.comThere is one common thread running through all articles and speeches by elected officials, well-known writers, and commentators in opposition to the merging of the United States into a political and economic regional arrangement known as the North American Union. To my knowledge, not one of them has chosen to use the “C” word (communism) when warning Americans of the dangers of this unconstitutional merger about to be foisted upon us without proper hearings in Congress. Excellent speeches and articles are being given and written warning us of all sorts of bad things related to this ...

Shanghai Index Dives 8.8% BY KIRK SHINKLE INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Posted 2/27/2007 The worst sell-off in a decade for Chinese stocks spilled across world markets Tuesday. The Shanghai composite index fell 8.8%, its worst one-day loss since 1997. The selling quickly spread across Asia, Europe and finally the U.S., where major averages suffered their worst one-day percentage losses in about four years. Fearful investors pushed the 10-year Treasury yield down 12 basis points to 4.51% and dumped dollars. Chinese stocks had been enjoying record gains since late 2006, prompting talk of the latest bubble in one of the world's fastest-growing economies. The Shanghai market has more ...

Buchanan: Free Trade and Funny Math

Posted: February 27, 2007 To the devout libertarian, free trade is not a policy option to be debated, but a dogma to be defended. Nowhere is this truer than at that lamasery of libertarianism, the Cato Institute. But with America running the worst trade deficits in history, the monks are having a hellish time of it. Hence, like the neocons who cherry-picked the intel to bamboozle us into believing national survival hung on invading Iraq, they feed us irrelevant truths and deny us the whole truth. Case in point – the Feb. 22 column in the Washington Times by one Daniel Ikenson, "associate director at the Cato Institute's Center for Trade Policy Studies." Bewailing the ...
Eye-opener on coffee?

Eye-opener on coffee? When Americans woke up one recent morning to the news that regular coffee is linked to heart attacks, most of them, we are sure, still reached for a second cup. Caffeinated coffee, researchers reported, raises the risk of nonfatal heart attacks in most people by 64 percent. But when was it - a month or two ago? - that the experts were saying coffee is good for us? A report in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicated the new study examined participants to determine whether they have a gene variation that determines how much we are affected by caffeine. The fact that the study appeared in the Journal means it's intended for review by the ...
Lobbyology and Conspiracy Theory

The latest disturbing trend on the internet is the creation, or threatened creation, of mega-conspiracy theories as an attempt to provide cover for the malign influence of Zionism on the United States and the Middle East. The idea is that it isn’t the Zionists, it is some shadowy, undefined group, ‘Illuminati’ if you will, that is really behind all the machinations. Indeed, Chomsky’s theory that the American Establishment is really the root cause of everything is just a particularly addled version of the mega-theory, with the added implied fillip that the Establishment is so clever that it set up the Jews to take the fall by putting them in such prominent positions of ...
Hatred of America unites the world

Being hated is no fun. Few of us are like those pantomime villains who glory in the hisses and boos of an audience. And few people hate being hated more than Americans. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've been asked the plaintive question: "Why do they hate us?" and another for each of the different answers I've heard. It's because of our foreign policy. It's because of their extremism. It's because of our arrogance. It's because of their inferiority complex. Americans really hate not knowing why they're hated. The best explanation is in fact the simplest. Being hated is what happens to dominant empires. It comes - sometimes literally - with the ...

Those sending British troops to Afghanistan should learn the lessons of the Battle of Maiwand Published: 25 February 2007 Out of the frying pan, into the historical fire. If only our leaders read history. In 1915, the British swept up from Basra, believing that the Iraqis would reward them with flowers and love, only to find themselves surrounded at Kut al-Amara, cut down by Turkish shellfire and cholera. Now we are reinforcing Nato in that tomb of the British Army, Afghanistan. Hands up any soldiers who know that another of Britain's great military defeats took place in the very sands in which your colleagues are now fighting the Taliban. Yes, the Battle of Maiwand - on 27 July, 1880 ...

McCain says Iraq could end his career By CURT WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 12 minutes ago SEATTLE - Republican presidential hopeful John McCain (news, bio, voting record) said Friday that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has sacrificed his career to support the Iraq war, and the Arizona senator acknowledged that he could face the same fate. ADVERTISEMENT McCain, a staunch defender of President Bush's new Iraq troop deployment strategy, said he worries that a cutback of British troops in southern Iraq announced by Blair this week could lead to stronger control by "Iranian-backed Shiite" forces. But he said Blair and the British deserve gratitude for their ...

Waving The White Flag By Steve Tefft stevetefft@yahoo.com Mark Friday, Feb. 16 on your calendar. Mark it with a black, funereal border, because Friday, Feb. 16 was the day the radical, anti-war Left completed its takeover of the national Democratic party. On that day, the House of Representatives approved a resolution opposing President Bush’s infusion of 21,000 troops to Baghdad. Of the 233 Democrats in the House, 229 voted for the resolution. Put another way, 98 percent of House Democrats who claim to care most for the country’s best interests voted for something that can have only two practical effects in Iraq: [a] to thoroughly discourage our troops who have been winning ...

As The Washington Post probe proves, there's more to supporting our troops than making "Support Our Troops" a phrase that every politician feels obliged to utter in every speech, no matter how craven the purpose. How can they look at themselves in the mirror every morning? By Joseph L. Galloway (February 21, 2007) -- There’s a great deal more to supporting our troops than sticking a $2 yellow ribbon magnet made in China on your SUV. There’s a great deal more to it than making "Support Our Troops" a phrase that every politician feels obliged to utter in every speech, no matter how banal the topic or craven the purpose.

US accused after Iran site closed Computer user (generic) The row has prompted calls for Iran to develop its own internet servers Iran has accused the US government of ordering an American internet service provider to stop hosting the website of an official Iranian news agency. The Iranian Student News Agency said no explanation had been given by the server, called The Planet, for its abrupt move to terminate the contract. Isna, which is widely read in Iran, says it has moved to another server, which it did not name. The Planet was unable to comment immediately on the allegations. The row has led to calls for Iran to develop its own satellite technology. Isna said it had received an ...

Assault of girl exposed a shameful secret Posted: Feb. 17, 2007 The vicious gang rape of an 11-year-old girl by a group of men and boys Sept. 4 accomplished something few other recent crime stories out of Milwaukee managed to do. It made black people feel ashamed. We're talking shame, as in a collective sense of responsibility and guilt over the sordid details of what happened in a house in the 3700 block of N. 6th St. on that fateful day. Usually, most residents of black Milwaukee feel well-insulated from shame for the actions of the most reckless or unthinking members of their community. Black people in Milwaukee are very familiar with the embarrassment or ridicule that comes from ...

Anti-American feelings soar as Muslim society is radicalised by War on Terror undefined Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent The War on Terror has radicalised Muslims around the world to unprecedented levels of anti-American feeling, according to the largest survey of Muslims ever to be conducted. Seven per cent believe that the events of 9/11 were “completely justified”. In Saudi Arabia, 79 per cent had an “unfavourable view” of the US. Gallup’s Centre for Muslim Studies in New York carried out surveys of 10,000 Muslims in ten predominantly Muslim countries. One finding was that the wealthier and better-educated the Muslim was, the more likely he was to be ...

Cheney gets a hostile reception in Tokyo Richard Lloyd Parry in Tokyo Dick Cheney, the US Vice-President, landed in Tokyo last night for what promised to be a frosty series of meetings, after weeks of outspoken criticism of American policy from within the Japanese Government. Japanese Cabinet Ministers have openly denounced US policy in Iraq as childish and accused the Bush Administration of being cocky. The latest blow was last week’s agreement on North Korea’s nuclear programme which is privately regarded by many in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Government as an American betrayal. Yasuhisa Shiozaki, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary, could hardly have been more ...

Blair to quit "no later than" 2047 31 Jan 2007 by Adam Tan In an effort to "put all speculation to rest", Prime Minister Tony Blair has announced he will leave office "no later than" 5 February 2047. In an exclusive interview with DeadBrain, Blair said, "I want to finish what I've started, and to be quite honest that could take decades." Blair deflected questions about his potential successor, stating that "I won't discuss that issue until the moment of my departure, when I fully intend to endorse that consummate wanker Gordon Brown unless I can think of any vaguely reasonable excuse to avoid doing so." Blair repeatedly dodged ...

Parrot's oratory stuns scientists By Alex Kirby BBC News Online environment correspondent N'kisi on chairback Grace Roselli Feathered prodigy: N'kisi leads the field The finding of a parrot with an almost unparalleled power to communicate with people has brought scientists up short. The bird, a captive African grey called N'kisi, has a vocabulary of 950 words, and shows signs of a sense of humour. He invents his own words and phrases if he is confronted with novel ideas with which his existing repertoire cannot cope - just as a human child would do. N'kisi's remarkable abilities feature in the latest BBC Wildlife Magazine. N'kisi is believed to be one of ...

The US and Israel will not work with a new Palestinian unity government unless it recognises Israel, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has said. He was speaking a day before three-way talks with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Ms Rice held separate talks with both men on Sunday. Publicly, she said the US would "await the formation of a [unity] government before making any decisions". Hamas, the largest group in the proposed Palestinian unity government, refuses to recognise Israel. Mr Olmert said a Palestinian government that failed to accept conditions laid down by the quartet of the US, EU, Russia and UN "cannot ...

The "God" that Serves Elite Jews February 16, 2007 angrygod.gif By Henry Makow Ph.D. Last week I noted that the Soviets razed thousands of churches but spared synagogues. If Communists considered religion "the opium of the masses," why didn’t they include Judaism? Do Christians and Jews worship the same God? Is there an affinity between Communism and Judaism? Perhaps the Jewish elite has a different God. A reader, "George," knew the heiress of a rich Jewish banking family "not the Rothschilds, although her family dwelled in a palace neighbouring the Rothschilds." "Leah was one of my classmates in the Geneva University (Switzerland) ...

Now in the minority in Congress and saddled with an unpopular president and no ideology, the Republican Party may be in worse shape than it was in 1974 during the depths of Watergate. The GOP is so hopelessly confused it stands for precious little that Americans find attractive and may be in for a long walk in the wilderness. This is due, in part, to the war in Iraq. After the November elections, a CNN poll astonishingly found that more than 60 percent of Americans believe the GOP to be the party of "big government." After McCain-Feingold, prescription drug benefits, No Child Left Behind, the USA Patriot Act, lobbying scandals, bloated energy, farm and transportation bills and ...

I know there is a huge body of experience out there that can recommend high quality productions, most all far more proficent than I. And someone mentioned "The Weeping Camel" (sic) recently which. to me, was a remarkable film, and JUST the sort of film I want to watch. So I ask that the forum recommends some of their choices of material that is excellent and may very well be overlooked masterpices, as the weeping camel surely is, for my edification as well as others.
