This questions really begs belief. What should Nikon have said about a new Vietnam policy? What should Hitler have said about a new European policy? What should Stalin have said about a new Ukrainian policy? Putting aside all of Washington's meticulous spin and delusions of grandeur, Iraq can only be evaluated in foreign pol... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Climate change and global warming: What should we do about it: 12 of 42

"Climate Control"? This may come as a shock to many green activists and concerned citizens, but the Earth's climate has never been stable, and cannot be 'controlled' by mere men. By now we've all seen the brilliant Powerpoint charts and passionate green pleas about the scourge of CO2. Who would listen if a man dared to sugge... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Islam Is Islam the real threat?: 2 of 6

Is Islam a threat? The word propaganda comes to mind here... In the West, we generally asociate propaganda with state-controlled media in the old Soviet Union or Red China. We rarely train the same microscope on ourselves, as we assume that such a mass exercise in conditioning does not happen in Western society. Case and poi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the Middle & Near East Syria's chemical weapons: 1 of 3
It's funny to see that old subject of Chemical Weapons come up again in the news, particularly in light of the Bush administration's massive failure in getting that thin charge to stick on Saddam Hussien before it invaded Iraq in 2003. Trying to fabricate a similar case against Syria or Iran is the latest in a calous Public ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Is George W. Bush a true conservative?: 11 of 32

Many of America's card-carrying Republicans would have real difficulty defining what is a true 'Conservative'.

Politics, News & Issues > US Economy How Federal Reserve policies affect business trends: 4 of 11
The longest running battle in American history is not between the North and the South, nor is it the US vs Cuba, or even Capitalism vs Communism. It is the battle between the Central Bankers and the people of the United States which has turned tides red and seen millions of free citizens perish on the road to perdition. For ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Will Sarah Palin get a second chance at the presidency?: 32 of 85
She was close, a "heartbeat" away from making history. A 2% vote swing, or a few more disgusted conservatives not boycotting the Bush administration's lies, betrayals and wars could have resulted in a McPalin' win. The experts are currently mulling this one over. History reveals some dubious party nominations. Parallels are ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Economic News The housing bubble and credit crisis not caused by "the poor": 22 of 57
The housing bubble and the collapse of some major banks institutions are pointing towards the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Al Gore awarded Nobel Peace Prize: 7 of 18
We wouldn't want to second guess the great Nobel Institute but they may have jumped the gun once again by handing out their latest Peace Prize. Al Gore's award-winning climate-change documentary has now been officially exposed for the first time, by Britain's top court as alarmist, one-sided and littered with no less than ni... More..
