Obama Still Locked Into Folly In Afghanistan

I've been listening to various discussions, on the radio, or rather not discussions but exchanges of firmly held non-negotiable views, about Obama and his speech on Afghanistan. No one seems fully satisfied.

Those who support Obama's decision to send 30,000 more troops mostly dislike the announced pull-out of all American troops from Afghanistan after eighteen months, though since the speech was delivered, that promise has been glossed by Secretary Gates and others. Admiral Mullen,… Continue

Top scientists rally to the defence of the Met Office

The Met Office has embarked on an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change science after the furore over stolen e-mails.

More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statementdefending the "professional integrity" of global warming research. They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office, which has spent four days collecting signatures. The initiative is a sign of how worried it is that e-mails stolen from the University of East Anglia are… Continue

Shriners are well known for their "Shriner Circus" where they claim to raise money for their burn hospitals. In June, 1986, a daily newspaper in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported that less than 2% of the circus money raised actually went to the hospitals and that, by 1982, the Shriners had become the richest charity in America, amassing $1.2 billion in assets. Of the $17.5 million raised in 1984, $17.3 million went into their own pockets while only $182,051 went to support the hospitals.… Continue

The Growing Movement to Nullify National Health Care

Using the revolt against Real ID as a model, can states rights activists stop Obamacare?

In response to what some opponents see as a Congress that doesn't represent their interests, State Legislators are looking to the nearly forgotten American political tradition of nullification as a way to reject any potential national health care program that may be coming from… Continue

Environmentalists: ‘Only The Rich Should Fly!’

Air travel has been increasingly maligned in recent years – almost always unfairly. Despite endless crowing about “delays!” (at their lowest levels in years) “awful service!” (you get what you pay for) and “airport security!” (OK, the complainers may have a point there) we mustn’t lose sight of the plain facts: air travel is remarkably fast, safe, and thrilling. More than ‘Facebook,’ and other pseudo-social mechanisms (read: social relations conducted through computers), air travel unites and… Continue

(Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques, United Nations, Geneva: 18 May 1977)…

Who'll Stand Up Against the New Global Climate Tyranny?

This week, President Obama and the leaders of the world are to meet to determine the fate of humanity. This meeting, to be held in Copenhagen, has as its mission to bind the nations of the world under a climatocracy, or rather a climate regulatory scheme devised and operated by bureaucrats and elitists. The members of this climatocracy will profit while the rest of humanity will sink into darkness. There will be nowhere to hide; no oasis to be found in the desert. Indeed, after the discussions… Continue

Homeland Security Embarks on Big Brother Programs to Read Our Minds and Emotions

Half-baked Homeland Security is spending millions to develop sensors capable of detecting a person's level of 'malintent' as a counterterrorism tool.

In the sci-fi thriller Minority Report, Tom Cruise plays a D.C. police detective, circa 2054, in the department of "pre-crime," an experimental law enforcement unit whose mission -- to hunt down criminals before they strike -- relies on the psychic visions of mutant "pre-cogs" (short for precognition) who can see the future. It may be… Continue

End The Fed? It's Not The Be-All End-All It's Cracked Up To Be

I agree that ending the Fed is good but the End The Fed crew has been severely misled. I disagree with Ron Paul that it's the answer to the problems we face. Ron Paul intends, based on his road map, to leave certain economic concepts in place and that's where I draw the line. Ron Paul is no different than the rest of the politicians we all love to hate and the path he's leading us down is also the same path we're on right now, with the same players running the show. In a nutshell, Ron Paul is a… Continue

Concepts #4: Religiousity

Religion is very important to a lot of people, but if expressed publicly, can be a major detriment to the truth movement. Again, religion in itself is not necessarily bad for the movement, but when you coincide beliefs with facts, you form an instant contradiction that discredits all further discussions.

Religion is defined as follows:

“A religion is a system of human thought which usually includes a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices that give meaning to… Continue

Nobel Peace Prize Administration Tries To Stiffle Lawsuit Against Yoo.

Protecting brother Bush. Trying to hold onto the power they have gained. They know the Constitution and morality does not allow for torture. Torture does not work...period. If the information is not known and the person (victim) thinks he is going to die if something is not said, he will make it up. In addition, if the victim tells the truth, such as he does not know, and says so he is believed to be lying. Then the torture stops when the lies start, not the truth. Maybe it is time for… Continue

From 1944 to Nineteen Eighty-Four Hayek and Orwell.

I’m inclined to think of George Orwell and F. A. Hayek at the same time. Both showed great courage in writing the truth, undaunted by the consequences awaiting them. Both valued freedom, though they understood it differently.

Orwell, a man of the “left,” could not remain silent in the face of the horrors of Stalinism. Twice — during the Spanish Civil War and again at the dawn of the Cold War — he refused to permit his comrades to blind themselves to where their collectivism… Continue
