Image is Everything in Redevelopment Projects Revitalization Downtown projects are all the rage in fact the "Main Street America Project" is making significant headway as cities and towns share information. The communication of information of what worked and why as well as what did not work in a given demographic is now available to those who dare to take back their downtown areas.
The Elephant Roared and Brought Forth a Turd: A Case Against Democratizing the Middle East "Peace in the Middle East!" - how sweet to our ears is this elusive possibility. Inhibiting all such prospects for lasting peace in the region is the outburst of nascent Islamism in its truest form—countered by the West's drive to "democratize" Islamic states. Yes, all this spurred on by an alliance between a resurgent Patriotic Church and the neocons driving American foreign policy. To deny the religious components throughout the debate is to deny the past two thousand years of recorded history—or, for that matter, since history's birth! For all the great ballyhoo greeting the latest flurry of peace initiatives (i.e., "The Elephant Roared")—there abides angst within the world's soul that, given the heart of man, the prospects for peace are stymied—if you would: politically constipated! Your read of this will provide a completely different perspective than what you normally find—you do well to consider what Dr. Aaron C. Miller, president of Seeds for Peace, calls "on the ground" realities when formulating peace policy in the Middle East—especially, the theological implications!
Birth of a Nation This movie should be shown to all citizens and discussed in town halls every year by every American. This should be done until it is clear that every American knows they are the benefactors of worldwide rape and the enslavement of many including their own citizens, especially 'natives', women and blacks.
The Protocols of Sion # 2 It does not matter if The Priory made them or even if a group by that name did not exist. The facts matter though.
The Protocols of Sion #1 The Halakah allows many genocidal or other murderous acts to be employed in managing society. Nothing is imposssible except that people think there is no conspiracy. If there truly is no conspiracy then we should create one that is open and transparent - a 'conspiracy of LOVE' as Teilhard called for.
Carl Rove and the Case of Sour Grapes The Carl Rove issue is definitely interesting and distracting. The Country is not served by this controversy we have important discussions to debate to insure the forward progression of our civilization. In watching the surveys of support for Carl Rove we see all the Republicans.
The Gun Control Debate The gun control debate in America is a battle between personal freedom and public safety. For nearly 160 years, there were no limits to the Second Amendment, which guarantees "the right of the people to keep and bear arms."
Thune Republicans: Sudden Friends of the Working Person? Defenders of embattled U.S. Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) have suddenly become champions of the common person in their defense of his role in the MetaBank/Dan Nelson Automotive scandal.
Global/Israeli Corruption! I trust there is a loud public outcry demanding an investigation into the allegations that the Withdrawal Plan was hatched to divert attention away from the Greek Island Scandal, in order to save Sharon's skin! Both those for, and those against the Withdrawal, ought to be demanding a formal non-partisan inquiery commission be struck, and all plans put on hold until the truth is made public.
Anyone Awake Out There? "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people" is not simply an extremist slogan, but is a strategy of war having two pincher-prongs, and we just witnessed one prong of this strategy in action yesterday in London.
Lyndon Johnson - The Day After Dallas J. Edgar Hoover and LBJ used to enjoy watching Hoover's agent filmed blackmail evidence for all Washington movers and shakers and we are now a lot more aware of the nature of the unelected Tyrant who rulled for five decades. But what involvement did LBJ and Prescott Bush have with the Assassination squad headed by G. H. W. Bush. Why was Nixon in a Dallas hotel that day? Was JFK going to do more than end the Cold War and the CIA? Did he intend to de-classify the documents that are now available which cause the survivors of Auschwitz to sue GHW Bush?
Thoughts Born of Tragedy ... As the fourth anniversary of the tragic events of the World Trade Center terrorism fast approaches, comments made in the aftermath bear revisiting for there relevance, then and now. The recent bombings in London underscore the timelessness of these comments...
Dismal Performance of the NSA The NSA failed the American people and allowed the attack to occur on 9-11-2001. They had nearly an unlimited budget to work with, complete interagency trumping power and more data than God. Yet, they squandered away our chances in another huge bureaucracy of epic proportions. It is unacceptable for failure.
Government Backed Fraud in Academia The government and the Foundations, whose owners are the people who choose the President and their cabinet, pay the archaeologists and fund the research. This leads to the funding of rags like Archaeology Magazine which people think is telling some truth. The Kensington Runestone shows how they manufacture lies and frauds and the Kennewick Man shows just one example of how they destroy sites while saying they protect sites. They will not research sites that show their theories are wrong and worse things happen when someone does - Manitoulin Island, Hueyatlaco, Acambaro for example.
Whose Afraid of the Government; Whose the Government Afraid of? We need a government that can be as responsive to our needs and to use the technology available to serve us better. Yet often our government feels threatened by those companies who move in the market place at lightning speed. It is those companies, which the government has the most to learn from. Let the government learn form the entrepreneurs and allow them to streamline their efforts to serve us better.
Faith in Our Government Many have lost faith in the government and are completely afraid that no one there has a clue as to what they are doing. Others have complete faith. Which is the right answer? Is it somewhere in between? Are our tax dollars being spent efficiently?
Government is a Franchise System; just not a very good one Few understand the Franchising Format and even fewer have correlated that to our modern government structure. The United States Government is set up much like a franchising system. You are well aware of modern day franchise systems like McDonalds although you probably had never thought of our government as a franchise. Of course if it is a franchise it is a humongous one indeed.
