Obama now resembles Bush
06-22-2009
•
McClatchy News
President Barack Obama is morphing into George W. Bush, as
administration attorneys repeatedly adopt the executive-authority and
national-security rationales that their Republican predecessors
preferred.
In courtroom battles and
freedom-of-information fights from Washington, D.C., to California,
Obama's legal arguments repeatedly mirror Bush's: White House turf is
to be protected, secrets must be retained and dire warnings are wielded
as weapons.

The Guardian
The revelation that the former prime minister - who led Britain to war
in March 2003 - had intervened will fuel the anger of MPs, peers,
military leaders and former civil servants, who were appalled by
Brown's decision last week to order the investigation to be conducted
behind closed doors.

"Nazi" was gutter slang for the verb "to nationalize"
Ernest Hancock
During the past
several months in the American press, the
Democrats have frequently denounced the Republicans as Nazis due to
their
attempts to control runaway federal spending. How very ironic. I
remember the
Nazis. Let me share a little about them and recall some of their
exploits.
First of all, "Nazi"
was gutter slang for the
verb "to nationalize". The Bider-Mienhoff gang gave themselves this
moniker during their early struggles. The official title of the Nazi
Party was
"The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany". Hitler and the
Brownshirts advocated the nationalization of education, health care,
transportation, national resources, manufacturing, distribution and law
enforcement.
Hitler came to power
by turning the working class,
unemployed, and academic elite against the conservative republic. Aft

WHAT DOES FREEDOM COST? LESS THAN YOU THINK! A PERSONAL APPEAL FROM TOM CRYER,
Thomas Costanzo
Brother and Sister Patriots: The recent
acceleration of the federal government's pace of annexing new powers, all at
the expense of our liberty, mandates all Americans to seize every opportunity
to shore up our defenses and arm ourselves for our essential counter
attack. These unfortunate developments
have forced me to come out of my back room activities in the Truth Attack
operations to make this vital and urgent appeal.
We all know
that freedom is not free. But what is
the cost of freedom? In the beginning
our ancestors paid for our freedom with their blood. When England kidnapped our sailors, invaded
our nation and put the torch to our capitol we again paid a dear price in life
and limb. When threats to freedom
appeared on foreign shores mothers sacrificed their sons on distant beaches and
to unmarked watery graves and our young men and women have always risen to t

Before signing the bill, Obama said the harmful effects of tobacco products have been known for decades, and "more than 400,000 Americans now die of tobacco-related illnesses each year, making it the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. More than 8 million Americans suffer from at least one serious illness caused by smoking" at a national cost of more than $100 billion a year.

North Korea warns of military drill off coast - Japan
6/22/09
•
The Star
North Korea has warned it will conduct a military firing exercise off its eastern city of Wonsan, Japan's Coast Guard said on Monday, in a possible indication of a missile test. North Korea, in an e-mail, said the exercise would take place between June 25 and July 10 within a 110-km (68 mile) range from Wonsan, Japan Coast Guard spokesman Shinya Suzuki said.
North Koreans participate in celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of North Korea in Pyongyang in this September 9, 2008 file photo. (REUTERS/Kyodo/Files) The warning comes after the Coast Guard received two warnings earlier this month for ships to stay away from waters in a smaller area.

OUT OF CONTROL"-”Our” Government WTF?
6/22/09
•
Preserve Capitalism
Our government is out of control. They are masterminding the ways to get reelected and forgetting about the real people. So now they want to tax your health insurance that is provided by your employer. BUT IF YOU ARE IN A UNION YOU WILL BE EXEMPT AND NOT HAVE TO PAY THE TAX. Any person with common sense can see that this is a way to increase the union memberships (especially when combined with the fact that secret ballots are being eliminated). California wants to pay welfare receipents extra to stay home with their kids in an effort to save money on day care bills. WTF??

Immigration enforcement in Arizona could toughen

PHOENIX -- As America's busiest immigrant smuggling hub, Arizona has earned the distinction as a place that's tough on people who sneak across the border.
That reputation would harden if the Legislature and governor approve a proposal that would draw local authorities deeper into immigration enforcement.

Street Cop Methods for Terrorist Interdiction
The terrorism threat hasn't changed. This is still an active war.
Although our nation has not been successfully attacked (due to the
efforts of counter-terrorism operations world-wide) within the last
eight years, doesn't mean we are not at risk. Quite the opposite I
would argue. We have entered a period of time where the average
American has been lulled asleep by the absence of a spectacular
terrorist event. Terrorists use apathy to their advantage. In
particular, Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda, and host of other
terrorist networks, have been known to wait years before launching an
attack. During this period of downtime, they meticulously plan their
next catastrophic event. Keep in mind that Bin Laden declared War
against the U.S. in 1996, but 9/11 didn't happen until 2001. Terrorists
are evil, intelligent and deadly, but not infallible.

Those not walking around in a self induced coma are aware of the 38 lawsuits regarding Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetoro aka Barry Obama aka Barack Dunham aka Barry Dunham, over his false citizenship claims. Double digit millions of Americans now know the legal facts or at least are questioning why Obama/Soetoro won't release his long form birth certificate.

Transmission of an infectious superbug from dogs and cats to humans, and back again, is an increasing problem, a new study finds. The superbug, a strain of bacteria known as MRSA, has evolved a resistance to antibiotics. It has long plagued hospitals but in recent years has become more common in homes. MRSA has even invaded beaches. Only about two years ago, scientists began to seriously suspect pets were transmitting the bacteria

What defines the situation today is a growing realization across all Eurasia from Beijing to Moscow, from Alma Ata to Ankara that the pillar of the postwar order, the United States has become an increasingly incalculable partner and force in world economic and political affairs. Some even within the US speak of a terminal decline in American influence over the coming decades, with terms such as ‘imperial overstretch.' It's essential to understand the extent and nature of the current economic and financial crisis of the Dollar System if we are to make any serious calculation of the future.

The mechanism of this vital biological process has remained a mystery but now researchers in France are proposing a physical model wherein individual proteins can “slide” freely along DNA strands in search of target sequences.
