WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. agency charged with dismantling or selling off failed banks said it is equipped to deal with what it sees as a busy 2010, according to remarks to be delivered before Congress on Thursday.
Just as true today as it was when his book first came out.
He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!
Often we need to be reminded of Iococca's words.
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
– Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) has launched a program in rural Ecuador that uses people ages 11 to 19 to deliver the hormone injection Depo-Provera, a birth control method that prevents the release of eggs from the ovaries.
In a Dec. 15 article in Global Health Magazine about the program, Veena Siddharth, vice president for international programs for PPFA, and Dee Redwine, PPFA Latin America regional director, wrote about the “peer-to-peer” model that Planned… Continue
(CNSNews.com) - The new federal hate crimes law has all the potential to be a major attack on religious liberty and freedom of speech, according to top religious liberty attorneys.
The law was chosen the number one anti-Christian act of 2009 by the Christian Anti-Defamation League.
Attorneys who defend religious rights agree: The recently enacted hate-crimes law is a threat to religious liberty.
“The very fact that this law elevates ‘sexual orientation’ and… Continue
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Excerpts of a Sermon at the Ebenezer Baptist Church on April 30, 1967.
You may not know it my friend, but it is estimated that we spend $500,000 dollars to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only $53.00 dollars for each person classified as poor. And, most of that $53.00 dollars goes to salaries for people who are not poor.
The Western arrogance, of feeling that it has everything to teach others and, nothing to learn… Continue
I posted an opinion piece about the consequences of this ruling, this crime actually, several weeks ago when the ruling had not yet been made. I did anticipate it and my worries were not unfounded.
The door has now been opened for foreign interference in US elections. Multinational corporations will now control perceptions even more than they already do. The face of the nation is changing rapidly and voting now becomes an even more meaningless event.
For nearly six years, British resident Omar Deghayes was imprisoned in Guantánamo and subjected to such brutal torture that he lost the sight in one eye. But far from being broken, he fought back to retain his dignity and his sanity.

Hot on the heels of Climategate — the leaking of thousands of emails and computer files that show many of the world’s leading climate scientists fudging the results of their global warming research and contriving to keep skeptics from being published in academic journals — comes what could be called Glaciergate. Prominent among the claims of impending environmental disaster in the UN’s fourth report on climate change, published in 2007, was the prediction that all of the…

What seems different in this report are the presence of new chemicals and the across the board presence of these substances in the subjects polled... the majority had them all. Its difficult to dig into the numbers (maybe because a cocktail of neurotoxic cancer causing drugs is coursing through my… Continue
TOMORROW will be one year since President Obama signed an executive order outlawing torture, yet our debate about interrogation methods continues. Though the president deserves praise for improving matters, the changes were not as drastic as most Americans think, and elements of our interrogation policy continue to be both inhumane and counterproductive.

Fresh on the heels of a Dutch investigation into the conflicts of interest of their chief influenza advisor and the bombshell announcement that the Council of Europe will be probing their role in creating and sustaining panic over the recent H1N1 outbreak in order to sell vaccines for Big Pharma, the World Health Organization is now conisdering "innovative" proposals for raising additional revenues, including levying a global tax on internet activity.
There are theories about almost every possible conspiracy imaginable and I view most with careful consideration and general disbelief. Some, like those involving 9/11 have enough substance to be wholly believable.
The theory that HAARP is being used to alter weather or cause earthquakes doesn't hold a lot of water just yet, but let me ask, "why would the US be holding a Disaster Relief Drill for a Haitian hurricane ONE DAY BEFORE the Haitian earthquake?"
US House Rep. Ron Paul says the CIA has has in effect carried out a “coup” against the US government, and the intelligence agency needs to be “taken out.”
Speaking to an audience of like-minded libertarians at a Campaign for Liberty regional conference in Atlanta this past weekend, the Texas Republican said:
There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs… Continue

I continue to maintain that the NWO is NATO, the UN, WHO, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and others and that the connection to Rothschild is a deception used to subjugate the truth and avoid investigation into the real perpetrators. A careful examination of global events and US/Israeli complicity in 9/11 bears this result. Now we have global taxes in the making.

Whenever there is injustice, there are people fighting it with every possible means. We have seen it so many times before: the oppressed rise up, the oppressor dehumanizes them calling them such names as "terrorists", "saboteurs", "death loving" extremists... It is only normal that the oppressor will always lie to justify his actions and its crimes.
What is different in the case of Palestine, is that the Israeli… Continue
TRNN interviews relatives of recently assassinated men in Nablus, Occupied Palestinian Territories

At the end of December, Israeli special forces broke into the Nablus homes of Anan Subih, Raed Surkaji, and Ghassan Abu Sharekh and killed them.
