London and the Environment - Ken Livingstone’s Legacy and the Work of Boris Johnson

Posted on 27 August 2008

Since the role of Mayor of London was created at the turn of the millennium, Ken Livingston has been synonymous the position; he won the first two elections, in 2000 as an independent candidate, and then as a representative of New Labour in 2004. Of the last decade, then, it has been through his policy […]

Reluctance: Food For Thought (It’s All Connected)

Posted on 25 August 2008

The foundation of world religions was formed when a few men dug under a tree and pulled out some of the most beautiful mushrooms. The men consumed the mushrooms, and they subsequently created every god known to man – gods faithfully followed and worshipped by many.
Are you familiar with that Old Norse myth called Doomsday? […]

Wake Up, America!

Posted on 25 August 2008

Let’s get real. Forget all the Gobbledegook about foreign oil fields peaking and the rapid increase in worldwide consumption…
1. Oil production in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, Mexico, Russia, HAS either peaked, or it has NOT peaked. (Consider that each of those countries have poor records in the benevolent treatment of their own people — […]

Peace in an Unsettled World

Posted on 19 August 2008

I listened to a story on National Public Radio on the 7th June 2008. It was a moving story told by a woman whose mother had dedicated and even risked her life to give medical guidance and service to pregnant women in Iran sometime during the sixties and seventies.

It is imperative that you see in propaganda the probabilities and possibilities. I forewarn you, even if you do wake up – if you choose to heed my propaganda – the only thing you will gain is awareness. You will gain further knowledge of and for yourself. […]

None of the Above: Democrats and Republicans Say “Two’s Allowed, But Three’s a Crowd”

Posted on 13 August 2008

Did you know that unaffiliated voters are the fastest-growing voting bloc in America? In more than a few states, independents now outnumber both Republicans and Democrats, creating a huge swing vote that could determine the outcome of this year’s election.
Ross Perot ran the most successful independent campaign for president in U.S. history sixteen years ago. […]

Soldier/Soldier: The Convoluted Vietnamese Agenda(?)

Posted on 09 August 2008

America, you have no idea what atrocities took place during the Vietnam War. One item on the list was the mass assassinations of innocent Vietnamese citizens by Americans. John Kerry knows. The orders came down from politicians – self-proclaimed gods – who pulled the strings and watched it all unfold from their cozy recliners at […]

French Parliament Delivers on Sarkozy’s Promise

Posted on 06 August 2008

It’s never easy following through on an electoral pledge, and if any politician knows how difficult it is, then it must be the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
So far he has failed miserably on last year’s major presidential campaign promise to increase the purchasing power of the average man and woman on the street here in […]

Illegal Immigration… lack of health care for millions of Americans… an enormous trade deficit… a bottomless government debt… outsourcing of American jobs… elected representatives who don’t listen to the people who put them in office and pay their salaries.
These issues represent just a few of the serious problems we face today. What can we do […]

President John F. Kennedy: Breaking Through the Shroud of an Untimely Demise

Posted on 03 August 2008

I quote, with redundancy, from the biography of John F. Kennedy to summarize the legacy of this American martyr. Unfortunately, many citizens of the United States know little about that legacy. Here was a man who chose to fight political corruption in a manner never attempted by any president other than Abraham Lincoln. Kennedy genuinely […]
