"Syria agrees to attend regional peace summit at Annapolis"
November 26, 2007
The United States is like Israel, and Israel is like the United States. Like Israel, the US also sees the world through an Old Testament perspective, with itself, rather than God, as the protector of physical Israel. It too believes in "an eye for an eye," or many eyes for each American eye, and sees those who would challenge it and its partner Israel as the enemies of God.
So Israel and the US are birds of a feather that flock together, and they consider themselves eagles while many other nations of the world see them as vultures.

The first days of Christmas skate into downtown
Abstract:
The sights and smells of the holiday season are in the air, and downtown San Jose has once again created a holiday atmosphere.
Downtown San Jose has transformed into a Winter Wonderland. Students can choose to go to the circle of palms ice rink, a gift market and Christmas in the Park on Park Avenue and Paseo de San Antonio Street to entertain themselves....

Many places today have gotten to where they have just about completely elimInated Jesus from Christmas. All it is a tree and decorations and Santa Claus and presents and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells!
In other words, to take Christ out of Christmas. In some cities, all you ever see are signs of "Xmas Holidays", "Xmas Sale!", "Xmas Shopping!", "Xmas, Xmas, Xmas!" They wouldn't think of putting up "Christmas"--that's the name of Jesus Christ!
And of course, they've got a new god called Santa Claus--who is really the big department store! One of the horrible horrors of it is, that when they teach their children about Santa Claus, and then they start teaching them about Jesus--the truth and the real story and meaning of Christmas--the poor kids think, "Oh, this is just another stupid idiotic fairly tale like the one you told me about Santa Claus!"

Editorial: Victory for science
November 27, 2007
By Editorial Board
"Stem cell research has arrived at a new crossroads. While relevant in the U.S. to research institutions such as Stanford, the end of the ethical debate is secondary to the new scientific potential of stem cell research. Nuclear reprogramming will allow scientists to easily furbish stem cells, which could result in organ replacements without the fear of rejection and the cure to such diseases as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Scientists, now able to focus on their specialty, may find another debate on their hands: who should receive federal funding to advance this highly promising new generation of stem cell research? Stanford, with its resources and human capital, appears well poised and as likely a recipient as any."

What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense).Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child?
A mass massacre of babies is going on in the U.S. today, not to mention Europe, the Soviet Union and many other places. One-and-a-half million abortions a year are performed in the U.S. alone, and it's estimated that one out of every four pregnancies ends in abortion! What a horrible slaughter!!
I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying "Save the Babies," have you? I've seen "Stop the Killings!" and things like that. They're always saying, "Save the Whales," "Save the Otters," "Save the Alligators," "Save the Wolves," and they're not even saving their own babies--human beings!
The Americans alone are now killing more babies every year than have been killed in all their wars that they have ever fought! What's the difference between killing babies before they're born or killing them after they are born. The almanac says that from the American Revolutionary War to the present, only 1.2 million Americans have died in battle, and they're killing 1.5 million babies every year!--Imagine!

Behold the black horse
“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, ‘Come and see.’ And I beheld, and to a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ‘A measure of wheat for a penny; and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine’” (Revelation 6:5-6 KJV.).
This black horse’s rider with the pair of balances in his hand symbolizes the rich capitalists who have a major impact on world conditions through their manipulation of national economies. Only one other verse in the Bible pictures a man with balances or scales: “The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud” (Hosea 12:7 NIV).
Another prophet, Amos, also said the merchants — the wealthy capitalists of his day who were robbing the poor instead of helping them — “set forth wheat, making the ephah [unit of measure] small, and the shekel [price] great and falsifying the balances by deceit ... that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail” (Amos 8:4-6 KJV).
The black horse, then, represents famine and poverty perpetrated by the rich who refuse to share with those in need. Oil and wine, throughout the Scriptures, symbolize abundance or luxury.
The fact that the oil and wine were “hurt not” indicates a situation where wealth and luxury exist alongside famine and poverty — and the gulf between rich and poor is only growing.

Making monkeys out of us?
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed. Therefore it’s a faith, therefore it’s a religion! So they’re teaching a new compulsory religion in today’s hallowed halls of higher learning. Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that “the belief — note the emphasis on belief — in natural selection — evolution — must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.
Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.
There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.
Once I was a tadpole long and thin, then I was a baboon with my tail tucked in, then I was a monkey in a tropical tree and now I am a professor with a college degree. Did Charley make a monkey out of you?

Stanley Crouch: Bonds' spot in hall of cheaters
Saturday, November 24, 2007
Addiction
It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it! Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily?"

"Ahmadinejad, Chavez predict fall of US 'empire'"
November 20, 2007
Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the world's attention.
But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren't enough to make a difference. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don't expect a lot of publicity to be given to this and then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed; but that's the way it goes for true prophets.

Listen to true prophets
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said on a visit to Tehran on Monday that the “empire of the dollar is crashing,” one day after his country and anti-U.S. ally Iran advocated action over the weakening U.S. currency during an OPEC summit in Riyadh. Chávez, who on Saturday said oil prices could double to $200 per barrel if the U.S. attacked Iran over its disputed atomic ambitions, spoke to reporters after talks with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Tehran.

Chavez, who on Saturday said oil prices could double to $200 per barrel if the US attacked Iran over its disputed atomic ambitions, spoke to reporters after talks with his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran. Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the worlds attention. But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren't enough to make a difference. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don't expect a lot of publicity to be given to this. And then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed. But that's the way it goes for true prophets.

Santa, take a year off
Abstract:
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving where stores put on massive sales, has to be the most frustrating "national holiday" there is in this country.

Although peace has been the goal of mankind for thousands of years -- and the desire for peace is never so great as it is at Christmas -- it seems that our ability to find or establish peace continues to elude us.
Today, after the end of the Cold War, bloody hostilities continue on nearly every continent, reaching global proportions once again after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Pittsburgh. As Pete Seeger's well-known folk song from the '60s asked, "Where have all the flowers gone? When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
True peace on every level -- from international conflicts to our personal lives -- has become more difficult than ever to achieve.

War funding may cut college financial aid
Abstract:
A Joint Economic Committee report released Nov. 13 concluded that it would cost the U.S. $3.5 trillion to continuing fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan over the next 10 years, said Israel Klein, deputy staff director for the committee.

Five years after the invasion of Iraq, like most Americans, I see the images of violence and bloodshed. Every picture is horrifying -- and the suffering is real. Amid all this violence, I know Americans ask the question: Is the sacrifice worth it, George Bush?
And again the answer is no!
American presidents can be a very bloodthirsty lot, as well as terrific liars when it comes to getting their way, while they criticize other world leaders who commit similar crimes. They have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them.

Levy probes Pakistan
French journalist discusses involvement in Pearl’s death
November 16, 2007
By Kamil Dada French journalist and philosopher Bernard-Henri Levy, author of “Who Killed Daniel Pearl?” spoke at Kresge Auditorium last night for the second annual Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture. Levy spoke of his personal investigation into Pearl’s Feb. 1, 2002 murder in Pakistan, as well as the changing role of politics and religion in the current global arena.
“The majority of Pakistanis and Arabs I have met in the U.S. do not have any problems with democracy and the idea of change,” Levy added. “It is only those who hold irrational views that I have a problem with. It has nothing to do with race or ethnicity, and I strongly hope that it does not encourage race-related crimes.”A number of attendees spoke appreciatively of the intellectual nature of Levy’s lecture, which offered a different perspective on terrorism"

The US is reviewing its aid to Pakistan - about $10 billion in overt funding since 2001. Yet the Bush administration may push for continuing military aid for the Pakistani Army's counterinsurgency operations, says analyst Steve Coll of the New America Foundation. President Bush is nothing but the front man for the rich to keep control. He started out as their puppet, but puppets have a funny way of getting out of hand. So something very strange is happening in the world right now! This is why so many fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power. The rich are clever organizers who know how to engineer a military coup as the US did in Chile, Argentina, Central America and Venezuela.

Evolution:new faith?
http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/11/14/18461089.php
Evolution:new faith?by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Nov 14th, 2007 10:19 AM
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed, therefore it's a faith, therefore it's a religion! So they're teaching a new compulsory religion in today's hallowed halls of higher learning.
Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that "the belief (note the emphasis on belief) in natural selection (evolution) must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.
Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.
Once I was a tadpole long and thin, then I was a baboon with my tail tucked in, then I was a monkey in a tropical tree and now I am professor with college degree. Did Charley make a monkey out of you?

Coping with the aftermath of war
Abstract: After Romeo Horvath returned from military service in Iraq, he wasn't quite the same. "I was drinking heavily and isolating myself," he said. After months of suffering, Horvath sought counseling from Veterans Affairs and was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a condition that affects approximately 11 percent of returning veterans, said Dr....

Ted Rudow III,MA The rise in psychological trauma associated with the war in Iraq should not surprise experts. The extent of wartime trauma is directly proportional to the type of warfare fought and the experiences encountered. Studies of Vietnam veterans show that between 26 and 31 percent have experienced PTSD. This rate is understandable given that the Vietnam War combat environment included both guerilla and conventional warfare. It is arguable that the war in Iraq compares to the Vietnam War, as there is no safe place, no enemy lines, and threats surround the soldier on all sides. Situations that can contribute to the development of PTSD. Now soldier's who are suffered from PTSD and other mental illnesses are being send back to Iraq, after serving there!
I work as a volunteer Counselor at the VA Hospital in Menlo Park,CA for 17 years as amusician therapist. I work mostly with Vietnam Vets. War is the national creed of America. Like the neighborhood bully, they're proud of the fact that they can beat up anyone else, and they flaunt it in the media. See how this competitive war thing has been the final stages of every great civilization and empire.

"Livni rejects timetable for peace deal"
November 2, 2007
"By forbidding the cutting off of electricity, Attorney General Mazuz prevented Israel from arousing the anger of the entire world." But the collective punishment he didn't stop, the ever tightening siege of the Gaza Strip. The state of Israel prevents the entry of vital goods - from fuel to baby food and everything in between. No one is allowed in or out - neither student on their way to study nor terminal patients in urgent need of medical care. Today, 80 percent of Gazan's are under the poverty line - without money to buy what little the shops still have.
The American government can be amazingly hypocritical when it comes to promoting human rights. Human rights activists in the Middle East say they can't even use the word "democracy" anymore - it has become a dirty word because of what people have seen going on in Gaza. Maybe other nations would have a little more respect for the United States if they saw it promoting freedom and human rights and democracy among its allies.

Kerry's running mate is lookin' good?
Abstract: Sure, I voted in 2004. But to be honest, I really had no idea what I was doing. I was so excited to be turning 18 in time for the election, my fingers just flew over the electronic screen as I took in the experience of my first rite of passage into adulthood....
Ted Rudow III,MA
There really is just one political party in the U.S. It simply has two separate branches and slightly different policies at times, but it's run by the same people behind the scenes. And the media basically all say the same thing.
Oh, there's a little window dressing of dissent allowed, a little disagreement that's tolerated, unless it goes too far. But with the media shaping people's opinions with such uniformity, there's not a lot of trouble with differing viewpoints.
If you do happen to differ from the vast robotic crowd, well, they just trust in peer pressure or economic pressure to bring you back.

Left Coast: Pakistan: The case for radical foreign policy
November 8, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe
"How to guarantee free and fair elections? It is often said that if an Islamic party wins an election, that’ll be the last election held. It’s a big problem, one that will require imagination and international cooperation to solve, and one that European institution-builders might be able to help us with.It is hard to imagine a less appealing thought than Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Egypt going down the path of Iran. But the Saudi, Pakistani, and Egyptian regimes will fall eventually, as all regimes do in the end. And it is better to prepare an alternative now, rather than leave a successively less appealing choice to each successive generation. "

He is a lawyer, he is in the newspaper because it is Pakistan's lawyers who have taken the vanguard of protest against Musharraf's suspension of the constitution, his roundup and incarceration of opponents, his firing of Supreme Court judges.
The U.S. is reviewing its aid to Pakistan, about $10 billion in overt funding since 2001. Yet the Bush administration may push for continuing military aid for the Pakistani army's counterinsurgency operations, says analyst Steve Coll of the New America Foundation.
Bush really nothing but the front man for the rich to keep control.--He started out as their puppet, but puppets have a funny way of getting out of hand. So something very strange is happening in the world right now! This is why so many fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power. The rich are cleaver organisers who know how to engineer a military coup as the U.S. did in Chile,Argentina,Central America and Venezuela.

Stu's Views: Obama's last chance
November 7, 2007
By Stuart Baimel
........Clinton has a commanding lead in the polls even after a mediocre performance in the most recent debate. Obama has yet to win the battle with Edwards to determine who is the best alternative to Clinton, something that he should have done months ago. Edwards had to vanquish Wesley Clark, Howard Dean and all the others before he could make it a two-man race with Kerry. There are still two months left before Iowa. Obama needs to come down from the clouds of hope and post-partisanship and assert himself as a real alternative to Clinton without tacking too far to the left as Edwards has."
Ted Rudow III,MA
There really is just one political party in the U.S. It simply has two separate branches and slightly different policies at times, but it’s run by the same people behind the scenes. And the media basically all say the same thing.
Oh, there’s a little window dressing of dissent allowed, a little disagreement that’s tolerated, unless it goes too far. But with the media shaping people’s opinions with such uniformity, there’s not a lot of trouble with differing viewpoints.
If you do happen to differ from the vast robotic crowd, well, they just trust in peer pressure or economic pressure to bring you back.

Left Coast: Pakistan: The case for radical foreign policy
November 8, 2007
By Kai Stinchcombe
"How to guarantee free and fair elections? It is often said that if an Islamic party wins an election, that’ll be the last election held. It’s a big problem, one that will require imagination and international cooperation to solve, and one that European institution-builders might be able to help us with.It is hard to imagine a less appealing thought than Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Egypt going down the path of Iran. But the Saudi, Pakistani, and Egyptian regimes will fall eventually, as all regimes do in the end. And it is better to prepare an alternative now, rather than leave a successively less appealing choice to each successive generation. "

Speaker talks peace in Palestine
Students participate in “die-in,” Peace Prize nominee speaks to capacity crowd
November 6, 2007
By Joanna Xu Enlarge
Sammy Abusrur Palestine talk tonight
Enlarge
Masaru Oka At the Intersection of Death’s roundabout yesterday, students participated in a silent “die-in” protest to recognize alleged human rights abuses against Palestinians in Israael. Hanan Ashwari also spoke.
“Peace in Palestine is an imperative,” Hanan Ashwari told a packed Kresge Auditorium last night in a speech entitled “Palestine: Is Peace Possible?”
--In her speech, Ashwari expressed confidence that peace in Palestine would be possible with direct political action and genuine commitment from all international and Palestinian parties.However, Ashwari also outlined certain obstacles that would have to be overcome before peace talks could occur, the first of which was the Israeli occupation in Palestine.She criticized the transformation of Palestine into a “charity case rather than a case of self-determination and freedom.” She affirmed that the majority of Palestinians “have been protective of their fundamental rights and want to build a state based on democracy and human rights.”-----
Ted Rudow III,MA
The country whose warmongers daily slaughter or support the slaughter of innocents is more than deserving of such punishments and terror. These who strike fear daily into the hearts of poor, struggling third world nations, who have done nothing to ease the sufferings of the Palestinians, these deserve to have their own people, their own country, their own government, their own economy, hurt. And those who would sacrifice some of their own people to gain political or economic benefits are the most wicked of all.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are you who promote peace, who fight for peace, who strive to live the love and peace that He preached. Those who thirst for blood, the warmongers, are the curse.

"Today, many of the men who hope to be the next president - including all of the candidates with a significant chance of receiving the Republican nomination - have made unreasoning, unjustified terror the centerpiece of their campaigns. Consider, for a moment, the implications of the fact that Rudy Giuliani is taking foreign policy advice from Norman Podhoretz, who wants us to start bombing Iran "as soon as it is logistically possible."--
Paul Krugman
Politicians are expert liars, because they make their living by telling people what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. Otherwise, they wouldn't get elected-at least in the U.S. And once they do get elected, especially when they rise as far as the presidency, they just continue to lie-it becomes a habit with them.
Politics is an evil game in which all the players are vying for control. They don't care about the poor people who'll get hurt as long as they get what they want. Nothing they do is for honest and pure reasons. They'll tell the true tale of man's inhumanity to his fellow man, and all those who take part in such atrocities.

"Rice compares 'dangerous' Iran to cancer"
October 25, 2007
It is written, "Thou shalt not kill" and 'Thou shalt not bear false witness." The leaders of America are doing both. It is also written, 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house or anything that is thy neighbor's," or, as concerning this war, "thy neighbor's oil" - which the leaders of America also have their eyes upon. Of course, they know they have to be careful about this, so that there is not such an outcry from other nations. In their greed and lust for more power and control of the oil, they have perpetrated war.

Gaza Strip
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Friday Nov 2nd, 2007 9:06 AM
By forbidding the cutting off of electricity, Attorney General Mazuz prevented Israel from arousing the anger of the entire world. But the collective punishment he didn't stop, the ever tightening siege of the Gaza Strip.
The State of Israel prevents the entry of vital goods – from fuel to baby food and everything in between. No one is allowed in or out - neither students on their way to study nor terminal patients in urgent need of medical care. Today, eighty percent of the Gazans are under the poverty line – without money to buy what the shops still have.
The American government can be amazingly hypocritical when it comes to promoting human rights. Another pointed out that human rights activists in the Middle East say they can’t even use the word “democracy” anymore — it’s become a dirty word because of what people have seen going on in Gaza. Maybe other nations would have a little more respect for the United States if they saw it promoting freedom and human rights and democracy among its allies.
