Little Known Weapons Of Mass Destruction Threat During Lebanon War
A well informed source in the Israeli intelligence community, who cannot be identified, says the Israeli air force raids, following the July 12 Hezbollah attack on an IDF border patrol, were aimed first of all at “Hezbollah’s strategic weapons’ secret locations.” The source added that this initial goal did not include “ordinary” short and medium range rockets but was specifically aimed against the heavier weapon systems supplied by Iran with the Zalzal rockets topping the lis…
Mark Foley – Gay Congressman Resigns-The Real Deal
Florida Congressman Mark Foley has resigned from Congress amid charges and allegations that he had inappropriate e-mail contacts with a former teenage page in the House of Representatives. So what’s the real deal? What’s really going on? You can read the mainline press, and watch television, but you’ll never get to the real story that way. You have to ferret it out for yourself, and that’s what we have done. We have talked with the movers and the shakers, to learn what’s real…
President Bush – Contrasting The Decision Making Skills Of Jfk And George W. Bush
Presidents of the United States can only make decisions based on the information they are getting from the people and other sources that are available to them. Different Presidents obtain that data flow in different ways. This is particularly important because the events we are dealing with are so much more crucial than other Presidents may be dealing with. Iraq, North Korea, high gasoline prices, competitive position versus China, long-term deficits are all huge problems tha…
Republicans Vs Democrats
Currently in the United States there are two main political parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. While not every person ascribes to every belief of their stated political party, generally, the beliefs held are as follows:
REPUBLICAN PARTY
Republicans prefer a small federal government, only performing those functions that are specifically stated in the Constitution. They believe the federal government should provide for the defense of the country, mi…
Sandy Berger Ruling: Fair Or Not?
For all intents and purposes, justice was served when Sandy Berger was fined $50,000 by U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson in her ruling on September 8, 2005 regarding Sandy Berger’s mishandling of classified documents. Moreover, Sandy Berger will surrender his security clearance for three years following the ruling. Sandy Berger graciously accepted Judge’s Robinson’s decision.
In fact, some would easily believe that Sandy Berger got stiff penalties because his negotia…
Stock Research – Republican Congress In Hot Seat
If the Republican Party is able to hold onto its majority in both the House and the Senate in the coming elections, it will be because of the ineptness of the Democrats. The Democrats have become a party without ideas, with an ideology that hasn’t worked in years, and I am not hopeful that it will work in the immediate future.
At the same time we must recognize the notion of ACCOUNTABILITY. In my work managing money, I have to go back decades to understand certain companie…

Viewing American Politics From The Perspective Of Martians
I’m being silly, but indulge me here as I veer off into the realm of fantasy. Not *that* kind of fantasy, but the world from a Martian’s perspective.
Say we’re explorers from Mars sent to Washington D.C., in human form, in the year 2007.
What would be our conclusions about American politics were we to come down fresh, understanding very little of the political system?
We would understand immediately that there are purported to be ‘two sides’ (the validity of which is…
Vote For Mike Gravel In 2008
Former Alaskan Senator Mike Gravel is running for President in 2008. If you are a progressive person who is looking for real change in 2008 then I believe that you must look past the front runners such as Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama and look towards Mike Gravel.
While Clinton, Edwards, and Obama will all make much better presidents than George W. Bush (or John McCain or Rudy Giuliani for that matter) they will also offer “politics as usual” and they a…
Where Did My America Go?
Have you ever screamed at the television or radio? These days, Americans have plenty to be outraged about… and if you’ve ever asked yourself the above question, you’re definitely not alone. The question is: what are we going to do about it?
I’ve noticed a lot of disturbing trends in our country today, and it leads me to believe the United States we know is disappearing—and might not survive the next few decades. Consider this:
• The war in Iraq has cost us far more th…
