Can a radical become President of the United States?
2008-06-06 18:47:00 Glen Ford of Black Agenda Report has written a post entitled "Obama Resigns from Black Nation," taking the Democratic presidential nominee to task for resigning from Trinity United Church of Christ. Ford sees the decision as part of a pattern and proof that: "Barack Obama is true-blue to the slave holding forefathers and heroic blond mothers of the storybook U.S. of A. His intense (white) nationalist fealty to the Indian-killer and slave-whipper compels him to reject out of hand the African American version of U.S. and world history - to compulsively dismiss both the Black counter-narrative and narrators, like Rev. Wright." Ford goes on to say:By all rights, Obama ought to just keep on steppin' out of Black America entirely, since his real problem lies with the two-edged sword of Black nationalism. The great irony of the Obama phenomenon is, his fundamental strength in the Democratic primaries - near-universal Black support - is based on an ideology that is a nightmare to white vot...

"The United States sponsored the rise of the Third Reich"
2008-06-04 11:40:00 Immortal Technique is playing at the Coronet in London tonight and I'm going.He often raps about conspiracy theories, although he doesn't like that term as he explains on The Cause Of Death. But almost every line here outlines a new conspiracy theory or alarming fact. It's powerful in its relentlessness, and listening to it reminds me of watching the conspiracy theory film Zeitgeist. Alarming, thought-provoking, extremely misguided in places, but you have to admire the passion, anger and desire to educate the listener - all of which are conspicuously absent from so much of today's hip hop music.Immortal Technique - The Cause Of Death (iTunes)

The Hottest Governor in the United States to Sue the Interior Department?Ov
2008-05-22 18:15:00 Gov. Sarah Palin, mother of five and the Governor of Alaska, says “The state of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species.” Ah, if we only have about forty-nine more governors like this hottie, er, governor: She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state’s northern and northwestern coasts. Palin argued that there is not enough evidence to support a listing. Polar bears are well-managed and their population has dramatically increased over 30 years as a result of conservation, she said. Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, said Palin, a Republican. Notice anything? They were sure to note, very clearly, that Palin was a Republican. Good for her. I think she might be a good choice for McCain’s Vice President. Maybe she could straighten out his glob...

Financing Innovation in the United States, 1870 to Present
2008-05-10 05:35:00 Financing Innovation in the United States, 1870 to Present # Author:William H. Janeway , Naomi R. Lamoreaux, Kenneth L. Sokoloff # Format:PDF 3.8MB# Page Count: 428 pages# Publisher: The MIT Press (May 1, 2007)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0262122898# ISBN-13: 978-0262122894Although technological change is vital for economic growth, the interaction of finance and technological innovation is rarely studied. This pioneering volume examines the ways in which innovation is funded in the United States. In case studies and theoretical discussions, leading economists and economic historians analyze how inventors and technologically creative entrepreneurs have raised funds for their projects at different stages of U.S. economic development, beginning with the post-Civil War period of the Second Industrial Revolution. Their discussions point to intriguing insights about how the nature of the technology may influence its financing and, conversely, how the availability of funds influences tech...
Is the United States of America Addicted to War?
2008-05-10 00:48:00 by Walter C. Uhler Mikhail Gorbachev is not a frivolous man. He was the Soviet leader who introduced the conceptual breakthrough of "mutual security" to Soviet-American relations, as well as the man who did more than any other individual to bring the Cold War to a peaceful conclusion (See here). In my opinion, he ranks as the greatest statesman of the twentieth century (something I was able to tell him personally, when we talked in St. Petersburg, Russia in May 2006). So, when Mr. Gorbachev says, "Every US president has to have a war," and "I sometimes have the feeling that the United States is going to wage war against the entire world," - as was reported by the Telegraph.co.uk on May 7, 2008 I take him seriously. More to the point, Gorbachev's assertions probably elicited widespread agreement, not only in Russia, but also across Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. For, as historian Michael Sherry has put it: ...

Cumulative Impact Claim Allowed by the United States Court of Federal Claim
2008-04-30 14:47:00 In a decision issued on April 21, 2008, Bell BCI Company v, United States, the United States Court of Federal Claims issued a decision that can only be described as a “slam dunk” for the contractor. The case arose from the construction of a laboratory building at the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) in Bethesda, Maryland. Approximately nine months into construction, NIH decided to add a new floor to the building. NIH issued more than 200 contract modifications that delayed the completion of the project by 19-1/2 months, and increased the contract price by $21.4 million, or 34 percent. The prime contractor, Bell BCI Company (“Bell”), received payment for performing most of the changed work, but asserted an impact claim for the cumulative effect of the changes on Bell’s overall performance. The decision includes a number of conclusions of law that will be very interesting to contractors who face unwarranted de...

Do you understand that the United States is $53 TRILLION in debt - and not
2008-04-25 11:37:00 Just wondering. 'Cause I bet 99% of Americans believe what their political leaders tell them too, versus the truth.Meanwhile, one lonely unnoticed office in the government (thank you David Walker, US Comptroller General) IS reporting the $53 TRILLION number. It's just that not a lot of folks choose to believe it. Or pay attention to it.If our Presidents or Congressmen were CEO's, they'd be jailed for Sarbanes-Oxley violations. If the budget director was a CFO, he'd be indicted for fraud.So why do our political leaders and presidential candidates (and our mostly compliant and incompetent MSM) get away with reporting the $9.3 trillion number, when one department in our own government is now reporting $53 TRILLION?It's because our leaders in DC, unlike our corportations, made it so they don't legally need to report the value of future promised liabilities (social security, medicaid, medicare, military health benefits, etc) on our nation's balance sheet. It's as if they didn't...

The collapse of the United States is accelerating: Oil in Euros vs. US doll
2008-04-24 13:54:00 In the last eight years implementing the plans for the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) designed “to promote American global leadership” has backfired. To accomplish PNAC’s goals, all threats needed to be eliminated. From the onset, the United Sates earmarked two countries as mortal enemies: Venezuela and Iran. With Venezuela, it is well documented that the CIA attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government of Chavez. And with Iran, the United States continues to use it as a scapegoat for its failures in Iraq. These cold war tactics however are proving to be US’s undoing. (more…)

Like millions of Americans, I look forward to hearing his message of hope and justice for all and his call to work together on the challenges that we face as citizens of the world. “In his papal encyclical of April 2006, entitled ‘God Is Love,’ Pope Benedict wrote of the role of public servants and the need for government to promote justice. In these challenging times, there are many opportunities for the world community to work for justice and come together on issues such as human rights and climate change. “On the crucial issues of global poverty and debt relief, I am proud that the House will act this week on bipartisan legislation to help relieve the crushing debt burden felt by the poorest countries ...

Somali Jihadists Clarify Stance on the United States

Ultimately, the group was designated by the Treasury Department as a terrorist entity in February. This was the right decision, in my opinion.

The Pope`s Visit to the United States
2008-04-14 19:04:00 The Pope`s visit to the United States is at least making some news in the United Kingdom.The Times` coverage has been occasional but seems to recognise that it will be a visit of some significance.The stress has been on the Pope`s visit to Ground Zero and the significance of a call (possible) by the Pope to terrorists.The latest can be seen in The Times` article entitled Pope to pray for redemption of Islamic terrorists during US tourOf some fun to some columnists is the simultaneous visit by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the United States. Most agree that he will be overshadowed by the Pope. In Clash of the Titans: Gordon Brown's visit to US clashes with Pope's trip, The Times writes (tongue in cheek):"Next week a titan on the world stage will fly across the Atlantic to spend Wednesday talking war and peace with President Bush and making his mark on the American people.Unfortunately for Gordon Brown, an awkward coincidence of timing means that his final visit to President Bu...

Refinancing Homes in The United States
2008-04-11 15:28:00 Note: This is a paid reviewWith real estate prices melting down in the United States, I've seen fewer and fewer commercials for the mortgage refinance companies on TV. But so long as you have equity in your house and your mortgage interest rate is substantially lower than your credit card interest rate - you should look into consolidating all your debt into one tidy payment if you never seem to make head-way on your credit card debts. This is also known as a home refinance.Here is the basic concept:Let's suppose we have someone with a $300,000 home and an outstanding mortgage of $200,000. If you are paying 6% with 25 years remaining on the mortgage your monthly payment is about $1,169. Let's also assume that you have $30,000 in credit card debt that you pay 19% interest on. So far you have only managed to pay the minimum monthly payments, but you are no longer adding to your debts as you have finally established a budget that you stick to so that you don't keep getting yourself ...
