Say NO to gun control

One of the first thing dictators do when they take command is remove the publics ability to defend itself.

These school massacres occur because the government has violated the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution by declaring "gun free zones."

These "gun free zones" violate the second amendment just as "free speech zones" violate the first amendment. When you remove a persons ability to defend themselves you essentially sentence then to death at the hands of these killers. If only one person was armed and ready to shoot that killer, we could have avoided this whole tragedy.

One such example was the Appalachian School of Law shooting where students who were armed and had concealed carry permits were able to subdue a shooter.

It is clear that the second amendment must be defended, for the public safety.

Monsanto corn causes kidney and liver toxicity

A type of genetically modified corn, produced by Monsanto, has proven to cause kidney and liver toxicity as well as hormonal changes in animals; this corn, MON863, was approved for human consumption in 2006.

Here are just some of the findings:

Male rats lost 3.3 percent of their body weight and their internal dietary chemistry was disturbed. Female rats lost 3.7 percent of their body weight and their triglycerides increased 24 to 40 percent. Triglycerides are fat deposits in the blood stream.

Again, this corn was approved for human consumption.

Approved in the United States, Canada, China, the E.U., Japan, Mexico and The Phillipines.

Feel sick yet?

Well, if you eat Monsanto corn, you just might!

"The Last Confessions of E. Howard Hunt"

The April 5, 2007 issue of Rolling Stone featured an interesting article which contained a deathbed confession of E. Howard Hunt, a noted CIA Spy and figure in the Bay of Pigs, Watergate scandal and Nixon administration. Hunt, before his death, gave this confession to his son so that the secret would not die with him. The article was by Erik Hedegaard

According to the confession, which was given over several father-son meetings, Lyndon B. Johnson gave the orders for President Kennedy to be taken out; the orders were given to a assassination squad organized by the CIA. He also supplied the names of the actual killers, which included Frank Sturgis, William Harvey, David Morales, Antonio Veciana, David Atlee Philips, Cord Meyer and Lucien Sarti.

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution

"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

The procedure:
Impeachment resolutions, written by members of the House, are turned over to the House Judiciary Committee which then decides the validity of the resolution, the claims within and whether the claims merit a referral to the House for a formal vote.

The House then votes on whether to hold formal impeachment hearings, a simple majority is required to proceed.

If a majority approves the measure, the House Judiciary Committee conducts and investigation to determine if enough evidence is available to warrant indictment of the President. Formal articles of impeachment are drafted, including the specific charges that are supported by evidence. The Committee must vote on each article of impeachment in order for them to be sent to the House floor.

The House votes on whether a trial in the Senate is necessary, this requires a simple majority.

If a majority approves the articles of impeachment a trial is prepared in the Senate with special members of the House acting as prosecutors.

With the Chief Justice presiding, a formal trial is held in the Senate. The President may be represented by any person he wishes. The President's presence is not required for the proceedings.

The trial may be held on the Senate floor or in a Senate Committee, which would report all matters to the Senate floor.

The trial is held, witnesses are examined and cross-examined, all questions from Senators are submitted in writing.

After the evidence and arguments are heard, the Senate deliberates in private and finally holds a public vote on whether to convict or acquit the President. A 2/3 majority is necessary for a conviction.

Heated Argument Between Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera

This is a video of Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera getting in a very heated argument over a recent drunk driving incident in Virginia and whether the fact that the drunk driver is an illegal alien has any factor in the crime.

Personal Update

Wow, time sure does fly.

Anyways, I am suffering from a cold, I always get this way in the spring, I don't know why. This morning I woke up wheezing and coughing and I had a stuffed up nose. Thankfully I took some medication that should clear this up.

Next, about this site:

I changed the layout, it was originally designed to work with an 800x600 resolution but this did not allow me to make maximum usage of the space, plus I wanted to add some material but it would not fit. I now have a flexible layout, it will work in both large resolutions and smaller resolutions.

Iran Captures British Soldiers

Interesting news from the Persian Gulf today as Iranian military forces have captured fifteen British soldiers at gunpoint. The United Kingdom's ministry of defence has confirmed this, saying a Iranian naval vessel captured the soldiers.

The UK government is currently demanding the immediate release of the soldiers and their equipment. They also assert that the soldiers were performing routine military patrols within Iraqi waters and that the Iranian actions were unlawful.

The soldiers were captured at 10:30 AM local time when they boarded a boat they believed was smuggling automobiles. The soldiers are currently being held along the Shatt al-Arab waterway according to Helicopter reports. Naval authorities are currently working on a diplomatic solution to the situation.

This is not the first time Iranian forces have captured British soldiers, the last time this occurred was in 2004, those soldiers were eventually returned but not before being forced to 'apologize' on Iranian television.

MySpace Deleted My Account

The skinny of this whole entry is summarized in the title, so if you don't wish to read then be content that you know now what happened to me. However, if you wish to know why, please continue reading. This entry will cover some of my beliefs and some of my interests.

First off, I am a conspiracy nut, I would like to believe our government is open and public about everything that occurs in the world, but I do not drink the magic Kool-Aid. That being said, I am not a full fledged nut case about conspiracies. I believe there are rational explanations for many things and that the people who believe aliens are trying to impregnate us with satellite microwave beams are, well, not all their. One person, well actually on group that I am particularly interested in, but not affiliated with, is the 9/11 Truth Movement.

I do not entirely believe the story behind 9/11. I believe planes hit the buildings, but I am doubtful that those planes alone could have taken those buildings down. Do I think terrorists performed the deed, sure in the immediate sense, but I also believe certain members of our government, and perhaps other governments, were intimately involved in the whole sordid affair and that the whole attack was just a careful movement of a piece in a worldwide game of 'chess.'

One popular member of the 9/11 Truth Movement is Alex Jones, a radio host, television show host and movie producer. Alex Jones hosts a radio show on GCN, an internet radio station and is one of the major and most public conspiracy theorists in the world. Mr. Jones produced a movie called 'Terrorstorm - A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism' last year, he released it as a dvd that could be purchased and he also released a less than dvd quality version of it on Google Video for the world to see.

This video detailed factual events of government sponsored terrorism, ranging from the Reichstag fire to the overthrow of the democratic government of Iran in 1953. Mohammad Mossadegh, the Prime Minister of Iran, was overthrow by a CIA led coup that was also backed by British Petroleum (BP). The video went over known events in history that governments used terror tactics to bring about social, economic and political change.

I posted a link to this video on my MySpace page.

Another popular movie in the 9/11 Truth Movement is 'LooseChange 2nd Edition' a movie that while containing some errors brings up interesting points about the events of the terrorist attacks in September of 2001. While I cannot go through each point of the movie, bear in mind that many people have seen it and it has had numerous news articles written about it. It is a widely known film about 9/11, whether people believe it or not.

I posted a link to this video on my MySpace page.

Now you might be asking, what do these things have to do with your MySpace page being removed? Well, I really and truly do not know why they deleted my page, but I can theorize. MySpace is owned by the same company that owns Fox News, the News Corporation. Rupert Murdoch, the CEO of the News Corporation is a well known Neocon/Conservative that is more than chummy with the Bush Administration. Now, it wouldn't look good for a page on such a site as MySpace, which is owned by a big shot friend of the administration, to be sporting links to videos that contain accusations of illegal activity, if not damning evidence of 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'

Now, unless MySpace found my relatively normal taste in music offensive (maybe they hate the Beatles), they don't like my linking to NationStates, a popular geopolitical nation simulator, or they don't like that I also link to national Libertarian political website, I cannot see a reason outside the two videos that MySpace might have for deleting my account. Maybe that didn't come out right, I used a lot of commas, so I will say it again. The other content on my MySpace page, which was innocuous at best, could not have been found objectionable; therefore the two videos that I posted links to, videos that the News Corporation may have seen as 'not in line with their political views', had to have been the reasons MySpace used for removing my page. To say the least, I do not appreciate this at all.

I decided to probe.

I sent them an email through one of the text fields they have available on the support pages. I received back one of those automated emails, I actually expected this as many companies automatically send these as immediate responses; a sort of 'we got your message' email. Some time later I received another email, this one I think was sent by a person, it just read like it was. It essentially told me that if my password was correct, if I could not login, that if my page was deleted, there was nothing under heaven that could or would make my page come back.

MySpace, I hate you.

MySpace, goodbye.

I will never, ever, make another MySpace page, not after this bullshit. I happen to like my freedom of speech and do not enjoy having my voice stifled by any power. MySpace, News Corporation, Rupert Murdoch, I hope your stocks fall, I hope your assets shrivel up like grapes in the California sun, but most of all I hope you burn in hades.

Police Charge Family With 'Slavery'

Police in Greensburg, Pennsylvania are charging a family with what amounts to the modern day enslavement of a young woman. Emily Nicely (photo left) is accusing the five members of the Pollard family of keeping her against her will and forcing her to work as their slave, a notion that is quite shocking to modern day Americans and quite illegal in all civilized nations.

Nicely accuses that Mark and Cynthia Pollard became physically abusive toward her shortly after she moved in with them so that she could finish her high school education. She says that the Pollard family would force her to do work around the house against her will and that they would beat her if she refused.

Nicely also accuses that she was not permitted to leave the house unless supervised by a member of the Pollard family, presumably so that they could make sure she didn't alert the authorities or run away.

Nicely managed to alert a man who's newspaper she delivered after he noticed the bruises on her face. A hospital examination revealed that she was also suffering from a concussion.

The Pollard family, however, has a different story. They are accusing Nicely of lying and they propose that she received her injuries after falling off her bike while delivering newspapers.

Currently Mark, Cynthia and Mark Pollard II, their oldest son, are in jail, while the two youngest are out on bail and living with relatives.
