Chaos over Paul cuts short gathering After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention. Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul’s continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change [...] WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) – Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday he was “outraged” and “appalled” by the latest comments from his former pastor, who asserted that criticism of his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church and the U.S. government was responsible for the creation of the AIDS virus. The presidential candidate is [...] Here is a brilliant article by Peggy Noonan about living in the Orwellian culture that Mr. Bush and his diabolical administration has foisted upon unwitting America…. Worth the read. ———– The View From Gate 14 April 25, 2008 by Peggy noonan America is in line at the airport. America has its shoes off, is carrying a [...] by Phil Chapman | April 23, 2008 THE scariest photo I have seen on the internet is http://www.spaceweather.com, where you will find a real-time image of the sun from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, located in deep space at the equilibrium point between solar and terrestrial gravity. What is scary about the picture is [...] The United States has less than 5 percent of the world’s population. But it has almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners. Indeed, the United States leads the world in producing prisoners, a reflection of a relatively recent and now entirely distinctive American approach to crime and punishment. Americans are locked up for crimes [...] WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush sought Thursday to boost the flagging Mideast peace process by voicing fresh optimism about the creation of a Palestinian state. He said he remained confident that the definition of a state for the Palestinian people would be reached before he leaves office in January. “I believe it’s in [...] Speaking in February of the man she knows better than anyone else does, Michelle Obama said that her husband, Illinois Senator and candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination Barack Obama, is the only candidate for president who understands that before America can solve its problems, Americans have to fix their “broken souls.” She also [...] (More evidence that divine judgment is here…) Clueless in America By BOB HERBERT We don’t hear a great deal about education in the presidential campaign. It’s much too serious a topic to compete with such fun stuff as Hillary tossing back a shot of whiskey, or Barack rolling a gutter ball. The nation’s future [...] JERUSALEM (BP)–The Supreme Court of Israel has ruled that Messianic Jews have the same rights regarding automatic citizenship as Jews who do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. The case was brought by 12 applicants who had been denied citizenship primarily because they were Jewish believers in Jesus. Most of them had received [...] By Haaretz Service and Reuters The Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel. “We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and [...] We shouldn’t be surprised by this, just as we shouldn’t be surprised by the Bush/Cheney plan to divide Jerusalem… It’s been the “Holy Grail” of worse-than-godless political leaders for decades in the USA. It is part of the NWO dogma and the favored pastime of those who want to play “god” with the world. [...] If we can believe the numbers (and why should we, really?), then there are now 36,083 US casualties from the current Iraq/Afghanistan “operation” (4,492 deaths and 31,590 wounded). I wonder how many casualties there are among the millions of Iraqis and Afghanis? We know that most of the Christian population in Iraq has either [...] Retailing Chains Caught in a Wave of Bankruptcies By MICHAEL BARBARO The consumer spending slump and tightening credit markets are unleashing a widening wave of bankruptcies in American retailing, prompting thousands of store closings that are expected to remake suburban malls and downtown shopping districts across the country. Since last fall, eight mostly [...] Edward Filene helped establish the Institute of Propaganda Analysis in 1937 to educate the American public about the nature of propaganda and how to recognize propaganda techniques. Filene and his colleagues identified the seven most common “tricks of the trade” used by successful propagandists (Marlin 102-106: Propaganda Critic: Introduction). These seven techniques are called: [...] Thirty-eight dishonest tricks of argument (taken from “Straight and crooked thinking” by Robert H.

Ockham was a brilliant theologian, philosopher, and logician in the medieval period. One of his rules of thumb has become a standard guideline for thinking through issues logically. Occam’s Razor is the principle [...] ( Note: This list comes from the Atheism web and the examples given are pretty shoddy. However, the list is fairly good, and we should always be sensitive to using language and reasoning in a intellectually honest way when sharing our convictions with others… ) Accent Accent is a form of fallacy through shifting [...] The dynamic and diabolical duo are still raising the torch of their own soi-disant glory…. Today the news was all about Bill Clinton mispeaking and misremembering about his wife’s previous mispeaking and misremembering (i.e., regarding her chimerical heroism in Bosnia in 1996). Enough. Why aren’t these two behind bars for their countless crimes? Why are they sadistically [...] O Jerusalem!

Whitehead The Rutherford Institute April 7, 2008 In George Lucas’ film THX 1138 (1970), the police in a futuristic state make citizens compliant by shocking them with “pain prods.” After seeing the movie, I remember thinking that if the police were ever allowed to use implements such as these, we would [...] Tony Blair Calls For Interfaith Cooperation For New World Published April 7th, 2008 by Editor in General News, New Spirituality, Universalism Tony Blair creates the European version of Rick Warren’s PEACE plan… In his first major speech on religion, Tony Blair said Thursday night that religion must be rescued from extremism and irrelevance and [...] SCHOOLS PREPARE PUPILS TO ACCEPT A POLICE STATE by Beverly Eakman April 8, 2008 Somehow I missed this news item, and maybe you did, too. Then again, perhaps the mainstream media took pains to keep this one quiet, hoping the fire wouldn’t hit the fan. When individuals feel they must display their private parts [...] By Pastor Chuck Baldwin April 8, 2008 “Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.” (1 Corinthians 10:14 KJV) This is a strange verse, is it not? After all, the Apostle Paul is addressing Christians. How can Christians be guilty of idolatry? I thought idolatry was something that only heathens could be guilty of committing. [...] By Frosty Wooldridge Last week, many of you listened to ABC, CBS and NBC report on horrific educational failures in our major cities. Detroit, Michigan schools tallied a phenomenal 76 percent of their students as dropouts before graduating from high school. Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Denver and many other [...] So many “neo-Conservatives” are deluded by theonomy and other heresies these days… They believe God has a “side” — and they are on the right side, of course. That means excusing things like torture, dropping bombs on population centers, justifying “collateral damages,” and turning a blind eye to the thousands of American soldiers who [...] It’s simply amazing… If the conventions in Minnesota are any indication, then Ron Paul is without a doubt the people’s choice for President… The news media is already starting up its smear campaign: article It’s interesting to hear some of the RINOs (Republican in Name Only) attack the people’s enthusiam for Dr. Paul. A [...] (Note: Stang is a bit of a firebrand, but his talk is a needed antidote to the somnabulant speeches given by most so-called Conservatives on the scene today… ) ========= UNBRAINWASH YOURSELF by Alan Stang April 3, 2008 Again and again in these columns I have respectfully reminded you that the main reason this country [...] Financial research firm says cuts will appear over 12 to 18 months as subprime crisis hits other areas of the banking industry.
