America is just a few days away from a possible day of reckoning. I again call attention to this day, August 25, when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issues its 2nd Quarter report for 2009 on the state of health of American banks.
A plethora of bank failures has depleted the FDIC reserve fund from $52.8 billion in 2008 to $13 billion in the 1st Quarter of 2009. (See chart below)

Next step in H1N1 scare: Microchip implants
Company developing under-the-skin devices to detect 'bio-threats'
A Florida-based company that boasts selling the world's first and only federally approved radio microchip for implanting in humans is now turning its development branch toward "emergency preparedness," hoping to produce an implant that can automatically detect in its host's bloodstream the presence of swine flu or other viruses deemed a "bio-threat."
It appears that most liberal opponents of the wars in the Middle East/ Central Asia have ceased their opposition with the Obama presidency. The liberal Democrats who abhorred Bush’s war policy (and most grass roots liberal Democrats did vehemently oppose the Bush war policy although this was not always the case with liberal politicians and media figures) apparently were simply opposed to wars led by Republicans.

As part of an expanding programme of battlefield automation, the American Air Force has said it is now training more drone operators than fighter and bomber pilots.
In a controversial shift in military thinking - one encouraged by the death of Pakistani Taleban leader Baitullah Mehsud in a drone strike on August 5 - the Air Force is looking to hugely expand its fleet of unmanned aircraft by 2047.
The American government -- which we once called our government -- has been taken over by Wall Street, the mega-corporations and the super-rich. They are the ones who decide our fate. It is this group of powerful elites, the people President Franklin D. Roosevelt called "economic royalists," who choose our… Continue

As you must be aware, Bill C-6, the "Canada Consumer Product Safety Act", is causing a great deal of concern amongst those Canadians who treasure their access to natural health options. While no-one would argue that consumers do not deserve safe products, it is counter-productive in the extreme to remove freedom and due process for this form of "security". I am sure you are familiar with the oft-repeated phrase: "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security… Continue

Just count me as 'boots on the ground'; to reach, teach and energize people in my voting district and neighborhood. As I worked with like-minded organizations, I scaled back my grand ambitions to film the award-winning documentary and focused on my immediate surroundings.
Not to say ambitions aren't good. Far from it. However, I needed to see the trees before I filmed the forest.
I've always been a grunt. That is an infantryman. A rifle-totin' mud Marine. I had no… Continue
