Mitt Romney is running for President of the United States. He was Governor of Massachusettes. He's a Mormon and proud of it. Now that he is running for President he made a big deal about it in Texas. When he was in Massachusettes, however, it seemed not to be a polite topic of conversation. Mitt is not his first name. That's the name he uses as a first name. If you detect a small amount of dishonesty in that you would not be alone. His first name is Willard - Willard Mitt Romney. Do you recall the movie 'Willard' with Ernest Borgnine? It was about a social misfit named 'Willard' who had an attraction for rats. He talked to the rats and fed them. It's a horror story. Sort of what I imagine having Willard 'Mitt' Romney in the White House. His father had been Governor of Michigan. His father was born in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. That didn't stop his father from trying to run for President in 1968. Obviously - he didn't win. His mother, an ex-actress, was born in Utah and tried to become one of the United States Senators from Michigan. She lost. Willard 'Mitt' Romney's great grandfather ran from the United States to live in Mexico because he was a polygamous Mormon and wanted to avoid the laws of the United States of America. Well - the Romney's are back in a big way. Willard 'Mitt' Romney is no stranger to spreading the word - he is related directly to Parley P. Pratt who was one of the original member of the 'Quorum of Twelve Apostles'. When Willard 'Mitt' Romney says, "I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. My faith is the faith of my fathers -- I will be true to them and to my beliefs." don't you think you better listen?

So Senator Barack Obama won the primary in Iowa. How that happened is as mysterious to me as how he ended up in the United States Senate in the first place. I cannot understand why the people of Illinois took it on themselves to send as a representative of that great state a man whose father is Kenyan and whose stepfather is Indonesian. How many people in Illinois share that combination? To complicate matters his mother is a white American. I mention that only because he is being advertised as the first black president. Colin Powell would have been the first black president. Barack Obama would be the first half-black president. Even considering that the blacks in Illinois sent him to the Senate - why did they do that? Why didn't they vote in an American black man? Why are they crowing over a half-black, half-American guy? The answer is in our American past. Even before the Civil War there was a concern about what would happen to freed slaves. Questions like 'Should they be allowed to wander around on their own?' were important points of discussion. Putting the freed slaves on ships and sending them back to Africa was a big topic. The cost, however, of just sending the newly born children of the 4 million slaves then in the country (about 40,000 to 50,000 a year) would have bankrupted the United States Treasury so that was abandoned. The fact that it would have cost so much to ship the slaves back should be a point of interest to anti-immigrant candidates like Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. Even if laws were passed to send all the illegal Mexican immigrants back to Mexico there isnt enough money to do it. In any case - the Presbyterian Church in the United States became embroiled in this problem of what to do with the freed slaves. In the South the Presbyterians became the spiritual backbone of the Confederacy while in the North they tried to become the conscience of the Union but did not succeed. At the end of the war the Presbyterian Church in the North succeeded in setting up colleges for the freed slaves throughout the South (and a couple were located in the North). Several of these colleges still exist today. During the past 140 years since the Civil War the Presbyterian Church has split and split again. There are several sects and splinter sects in the United States today that can trace their history to that time - but they certainly dont point that out. There was considerable discussion about the benefits of providing these colleges. The main point being that eventually the freed slaves would leave on their own. In fact it was widely believed and encouraged that after the slaves were freed they would eventually collect all their things and return to Africa. The scenario was similar to that of the story that is found in the Bible of the Jews leaving Egypt. Many black churches today closely identify themselves with the Jews in Egypt. Many popular black spirituals reflect that ideal - Pharoahs Army Got Drowned, Go Down Moses and et cetera. The Presbyterian Church defended and encouraged the colleges by claiming that educated American blacks, when they eventually decided to leave the United States and return to Africa, would give the United States an advantage in Africa because they spoke English, had been educated in the Bible (the Protestant Bible - they were keen to ensure that Romanist blacks would not dominate Africa - Romanist meaning Catholic) and so, would be able to conquer and overwhelm the illiterate savages that had been left behind when the slaves were taken from Africa. The ignorance of this stance is clear to many modern Americans but, and this point is very important, there are many churches and groups in the United States that still believe that it is the destiny of American blacks to return to Africa and rule there. That brings us back to Barack Obama because the church he belongs to in Illinois is descended from those splinter sects that had been first chartered by the white, Northern Presbyterian Church. Barack Obama seems to be, to many black Americans, the Messiah who is destined to lead them all back to Africa to conquer and regain their birthright. There are several problems to this scenario. First of all, it may be said that the poor unfortunate men and women who were taken from Africa to be used as slaves were not, in the main, what one would call the ruling class in Africa at the time. The ruling class in Africa at the time were rounding up their enemies and taking them down to the shores to sell them for gold and manufactured goods to the Portugese, the Spanish, the English and later, the Americans. The peoples who remained in Africa are not looking forward to being conquered again - no matter what the color of the returning avenger. In the case of Barack Obama there are other troubling matters. First of all his father, from Kenya, was in the United States getting a college education. Like many men and women in his position he apparently thought it a good idea to stay here. He then got married and fathered his son. Unlike many others in his privileged position he decided to return to where he came from and packed up and went to Kenya. He divorced his wife and abandoned his son - Barack Obama - apparently in Hawaii. Obamas mother then married an Indonesian and carted her son off to Indonesia - which is widely recognized as having a cruel, ignorant society based on exploiting the poor by violent means. That is - Indonesia is a slave economy. They are second only to Myanmar in their vicious treatment of their own citizens. Obama claims that because he attended a mixed school in Indonesia that he has insight into the Muslim mind. Please recall that it was mixed school in Sudan where a visiting English teacher was threatened with death for naming a Teddy Bear Mohamed. So Senator Obama is apparently wearing the crown of the Messiah for a splinter sect of the Presbyterian Church who believes he will lead them all back to Africa, glory and prosperity. (Please note that the Kenya that Obama comes from is now embroiled in political violence as a petty dictator continues to rape that country for everything it is worth.) So I can understand that the people of Illinois, who also have hosted Louis Farrakhan (an American black-muslim leader who believes that spaceships have encircled the earth and are ready to destroy all the white people), another leader who believes in the eventual repatriation of American blacks to Africa, voted in Barack Obama. The question of what happened in Iowa is still unclear to me, however. Was it a bunch of Republican voting in the Democratic primary who have given us a choice between white and black or were the voting machines tampered with again like they were in Florida for the last presidential election? We may never know. It is a sad commentary on the people of Iowa that they have decided to potentially hand the reigns of our national government over to a man who admits smoking pot like a chimney and who is associated with a church whose very basis for belief is founded upon racism, bigotry and ignorance. Maybe it is all a bad joke but I dont want Barack Obama to be put into a position where he has access to nuclear weapons. I dont want Barack Obama to burrow any further into our national government as he will bring along with him his followers. Even if we, like the deluded people of Illinois, give him the benefit of the doubt what guarantee is there that among his bizarre followers there are not some traitors who for a chance at glory with Allah would betray us all? Having a man like Barack Obama in charge of the largest arsenal on earth which contains nuclear weapons, biological horrors and advanced technology is not wise. Let him lead his people home, if they are fool enough to follow him into the ocean when he pretends to part the water, but let him leave our people alone. I think he has gotten just about enough out of America and America has had just about enough of him. What do you think?

The cute, cuddly Panda Bear of the World Wildlife Federation is on the web site of the movie, 'The Golden Compass'. That movie, as you may know, and the books it is extracted from is fervently anti-Catholic with select attacks on every Christian branch with the exception of the Church of England, whose Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams, supports it. The book the movie was made from was written by an Englishman, you see, and many of the arguments in it support that particular Christian branch. The production company hails from New Zealand, where again, hatred of the Catholic Church and love the Church of England is strong. The Archbishop was also hotly against the invasion of Iraq and luridly opposes the continued occupation of that country by the United States. Says the Archbishop of Canterbury, "We are doing all we can to support the Iraqi people." Recently in a British Muslim magazine the Archbishop of Canterbury called the United States the worst imperialist. He further stated, We have only one global hegemonic power. It is not accumulating territory: it is trying to accumulate influence and control. Thats not working. He then started talking in glowing tones about the British travesties in India, It is one thing to take over a territory and then pour energy and resources into administering it and normalising it. Rightly or wrongly, thats what the British Empire did in India, for example. He skipped the part about mass killings, deforestation, the destruction of the countryside, disease and starvation caused by the ignorant and heavy-handed occupation of India which lasted over 200 years. The movie The Golden Compass echoes and brings to the modern movie screen centuries of ignorance and hatred. Many of the misguided morals and themes of the movie are the same as those which have pushed many animals to the brink of extinction. Just which way is World Wildlife Federation headed? Towards the light of civilized society or into the darkness of fear and dread? The movie presents half-baked science and twists philosophical ideas until they make no sense - ideas like conservation, love, fidelity and honor. I have no intention of giving any more money to that fund nor even supporting it in public unless they distance from that flickering obscenity of hate that is being circulated in movie theatres as 'entertainment'. Though I am no religious extremist I will not truck with people whose minds are filled with hate for humanity and the natural world in which we live. Your organization is being exploited by the marketers of the movie who now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have a major problem on their hands. The movie is being advertised as being in line with stories like Narnia or Middle Earth. It is really only a collection of wicked ideas which have led to burning witches, war and the dark ages in centuries and eons past. Here is what the WWF claims to be doing : By 2015 WWF will conserve 19 of the world's most important natural places and significantly change global forces to protect the future of nature. …protect the future of nature. How? By destroying the United States and attacking the pope with armored polar bears?

Well, Mitt Romney must be getting ready to drop out of the race for President. He has given the Mormon Speech. In it he told us little about the bizarre sect and just repeated a lot of what we already know. The United States of America was founded partly to provide a haven for religious freedom. As a result this nation protects Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Bhuddists, Muslims, Agnostics, Atheists and people who believe in witches and small singing mushrooms who live in the woods. The Mormons have gotten their twisted views in the national spotlight and that should, hopefully, keep them quiet for 15 years or so. Putting Mitt Romney in the White House, however, makes little sense. His campaign, like that of Barack Obama, seems to be a vehicle for undermining our nation, rather than strengthening it. Barack Obama, you see, has a large following of fringe Muslims some of whom believe that spaceships are circling earth prepared to destroy white people and put black people in command of the earth. The Mormon religion was founded by one Mr. Smith who was about 15 years old and apparently suffering from epilepsy as he (according to a Mormon instruction book) fell down a lot and immediately thereafter seemed to have a vision. The boy grew to a man and along the way became convinced that an angel named Moroni revealed to him a metal book that described how Jews had landed in Chili hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. They believe that these Jews built the cities of the Incan, Mayan and Aztec empires and were eventually exterminated by the rest of the Indians in what appears to be one of the first holocausts. The angel Moroni was apparently the ghost of the son of the last leader of the Jews, known as Nephites. To give you an idea of the sort of racism that is promoted by the Mormon religion one need only to note the description of Native American Indians given by the Book of Mormon. The Lamanites led a roving, aggressive life; kept few or no records, and soon lost the art of history writing. They lived on the results of the chase and by plunder, degenerating in habit until they became typical progenitors of the dark-skinned race, afterward discovered by Columbus and named American Indians. Smith claimed to find the book on a mountain in New York near his home in Vermont . Later on he and some of his followers claimed that John the Baptist came back to life or descended from heaven and came to the United States to baptize them. There were many reasons that the Mormons were driven west into the desert among them were racism, marrying more than one woman and slavery. Romneys speech boiled down to, I believe in my Mormon faith and I endeavor to live by it. Well thats all well and good but do you want him to live by his faith while he is supposed to be working for you? Spaceships filled with Black Panthers and Jews in Chile you cant say we dont have a lively Presidential contest brewing up this time.

Mahdi Mohammed Ahmed was born August 12, 1844 and died on June 22, 1885. He was a religious leader in north Africa who wanted to create a global Islamic state. He fought the British in north Africa and defeated General Charles Chinese Gordon at Khartoum . He beheaded the general and hung his head in a tree for children throw stones at. His title was that of Mahdi to Muslims the Mahdi is the prophesied redeemer of Islam. He is a prophet himself. His coming is to unite the Muslims in one world Islamic state to prepare for the second coming of the prophet Isa. The prophet Isa is Jesus. The British were in north Africa as they were intending to increase their presence in Egypt . Their main opponents in power and prestige were the Arabs, who, at the time, were primarily slave traders. In fact in Sudan over eighty percent of the black population was enslaved by a comparatively small number of Arabs. The situation was a good example of what one day would have happened to the southern United States had not the Civil War intervened and slavery abolished in North America . In the late 1800s, however, slavery was still a major part of the economy and the British hoped to break the monopoly the Arabs had on the economy by destroying the slavery system. They did so with good intent but ended up breaking down the entire society of north Africa without preparing anything to replace it. Into this vacuum stepped the Mahdi Mohammed Ahmed. He raised an army of considerable size and was financed by Arabs who hoped to reestablish the slave trade as well as many Muslims who wished to see the creation of an Islamic nation that stretched from Morocco to the southern seas of the Pacific. At first the Mahdi was successful and defeated the British presence in Sudan . Even Khartoum , as mentioned above, was taken from British control. Shortly after the successful termination of the campaign against Khartoum and the death of General Chinese Gordon the Mahdi died of a tropical disease. His body was laid in a tomb in a place called Omdorman in Sudan . On 2 September 1898, the battle of Omdurman occurred and the British and Egyptians slaughterd about 11,000 Mahdi fighters. The British then dominated the Sudan until 1956. The Sudan s flag sports a black stripe at the bottom which symbolizes the Mahdi. On or about September 11, 1898 the Mahdis tomb was broken open and torn down. The bones of the Mahdi were thrown into the Nile . His skull was kept as a keepsake by General Kitchener.
As we all know September 11 marks another day in history that of the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York .
The Mahdis relation to Osama Bin Laden is not spoken of. The idea of the second coming of Christ, which is hoped for by many Christians and actively worked towards by many fundamental Christians is shocking when put in the context of terrorism. Just what was the Mahdi up to? Just what was Osama Bin Laden up to? Preparing for the second coming of Christ? It seems so. Now besides his own history where do you think a man like Bin Laden would pick up the notion that attacking the World Trade Center might be a good move to start the ball rolling and get God to put Jesus back on earth for a second go around? Consider that the Bin Laden family and many Arabs have constant and ongoing contact with fundamental Christian sects who control, operate and work for major oil companies. The Bush family is a prime example but not the only one. Do you know someone who is convinced that these are the end of days? If so you know someone who is unwittingly feeding the war on terror and helping dishonest politicians and business owners steal what they want without working for it. With an imperfect understanding of Christianity and even of his own religion it is possible that he believed he was pulling the strings in his own magic show that would one day, Presto-Change-O, produce Jesus Christ. Do you think that many of the half educated and ignorant members of our society would argue against something like that especially if the price to be paid were only an attack on New York , which many of them hate for some unnamed reason anyway? The invasion of Iraq spurred the coming out of the Mahdis Army in that country. It is in fact, the strongest opponent of American and British occupation at this time in Iraq . They are dedicated to the notion of a global Islamic state. Add to the mix the greed and murderous attitude of the Turks in their quest to secure Iraqi oil by slaughtering Kurds you have an explosive atmosphere. Keep in mind that the Kurds worship the Peacock Angel known to you and I as the devil. Whoever the Mahdi is supposed to be these days a limited engagement between the forces of good (those wanting to spur the return of Christ) and evil (folks worshipping the devil) is political good news for religious fanatics and the people who spur them on and then steal their wealth out from under them. Now consider also that the President, whose beliefs already echo and mirror those of men and women who think like Osama Bin Laden that is being predisposed to looking forward to the return of Christ. Other examples of this particular type of interference can be seen on the world stage. None are so blatant as those of our own president however who recently urged the people of Cuba (as well as their military) to rebel against their government. It was an ugly scene to watch as the president, in his usual stammering manner, encouraged the people of Cuba to riot and run wild in their streets. It is common law and common sense that someone who spurs on another to murder and mayhem are themselves guilty of murder and mayhem.
Finally to complete the scene you have been watching the British Empire announced through their military and newspapers in the 1880s that they need to smash the Mahdi before he could form his global Islamic Republic. This is from April 4, 1885 in the New York Times : "Smashing the Mahdi," on the scale upon which that operation is now prosecuted in the Soudan, cannot exhilarate the British Jingo. From August 6, 2006, Time Magazine : For Sunnis, the failure to smash the Mahdi Army is not so much an indictment of al-Maliki as proof of a U.S. double standard. Now you know why it was September 11 and not some other date.

M by JJ Anderson (Member 120315) on 14-Jan-05 MAKE MONEY QUICK AND HASSLE FREE ... NO JOKE!!! Turn £6 Into £10,000 ..Or More!!
Some people think that these so called scams are pathetic, but this worked for me, and if it didnt I wouldn't be wasting my time posting it here. MAKE £10,000 WITH JUST £6 AND 6 STAMPS!! YES....IT REALLY WORKS AND IS TOTALLY LEGAL! READ ON... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! MAKE QUICK AND EASY MONEY THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! I READ THIS ARTICLE ON A MESSAGE BOARD AND THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A GO AND WHILST I DIDN'T MAKE MY MILLIONS, I DID MAKE £8000 AND I AM STILL GETTING MONEY IN THE POST. THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE IS BELOW Make £500 - £5,000 or more, with just £6 and 6 stamps. Earn money honest and fairly. HOW TO TURN £6 INTO £10,000!! OR MORE!!! IT REALLY WORKS. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing message boards, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of pounds within weeks with only an initial investment of £6!! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you have to send £1 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at No6, and post the article in as many newsgroups and message boards as you can. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it.
So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured "What have I got to lose except 6 stamps and 6 quid right?" Then I invested the measly £6, well guess what? Within 7 days, I started getting money in the post! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about £60. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over £1800. In the third week I had over £6,000 and was still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over £30,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth £6 and 6 stamps! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works. It's really simple and easy. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully. (Print it out or copy and paste it into notepad or a blank email or similar) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not @!#$; and it is no risk - AND it really works. If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and £10,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days.
This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. "Here Are The 4 Easy Steps To Success - TRY IT.............GO ON, WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE EXCEPT £6. STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper: "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST" and then write your name and address below that. Now get 6 UK £1 coins and tape ONE to EACH of the 6 pieces of paper and fold the piece of paper in half so the coin will not break through the envelope. Next, place one of the pieces of paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. (Make sure you put a stamp on each envelope - a 2nd class stamp will be fine if you want to keep your costs even lower). You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper inside saying "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST", your name and address, and a £1 coin. What you are doing is creating a service.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it. (very little!) Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about, the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the UK Post Office and they confirmed that it is indeed legal. If you have any worries, refer to #####!e18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. It is fantastically - completely legal! Now send your 6 envelopes to the addresses below:
No1) C. Koukoura, 102 Wingfield, Orton, Goldhay, Peterbrough, PE2 5TJ No2) R.K. Corepal, 25 Fairview Road, Wednesfield, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WUll 1BY N03) W Holloway, 90 Highfield Park, Wargrave, Reading, Berkshire, RG10 8LE No4) Nick Jones, 31 Redhurst Way, Paisley, PA2 8PY No5) John Anderson, 12 la rue des carteret, rue des pres, st. saviour, jersey je2 7ra. ) No6)Stephen West,20 claridge close,Leighton Buzzard,bedfordshire LU7 4TW.
*IMPORTANT: You MUST do this step or these people will not be able to add your name to their mailing lists as spaces become available on them and you will lose out on a lot of money - and we dont want that! Also, when you do Step No3, when people start sending money in, the above 6 will KNOW that you didn't adhere to the rules as they never got their 50p from you and will take you off the list! These are the RULES. : *PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way - if you follow the rules completely, the program will continue and therefore so will your money.
* STEP 2: Now take the number 1 name off the list that you see above and move the others up 1. (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.) And add YOUR name and address at number 6 on the list.
* STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to as many newsgroups and message boards as you can (You should really try to aim for at least 200 which isn't as difficult as it sounds with the 'copy and paste' feature - more on this below) I think there are close to 34,000 groups. And remember, the more you post, the more money you make' ** Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. So, as each post is sent and the directions followed carefully, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with £1 each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the No1 position you will be receiving thousands of Pounds in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only £6. *DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS** STEP 1)
You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the top of this document and highlight all of it. Select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file or a blank email and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad or a blank email so that; you can add your name to the list. STEP 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt. file or save your email with the document now on it. STEP 4) Search for various news groups (on-line forums, message boards, discussions groups) using a search engine or however you like. STEP 5)
Visit these message boards etc and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter you will have saved, and selecting 'copy' and then 'paste' from the edit menu. (Paste this document on the message board) Fill in the subject line; this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group. Make it something intriguing that will make people want to read your message. Click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take only take you a few seconds for each newsgroup! You will begin receiving money within days'.
* Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say you receive only 10 replies. (A Very low example of 5%) So then you make £10 with your name at No6 on the letter. Now, each of the 10 persons who just sent you £1 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with your name at No5 and only 10 persons respond to each of the original 10 that is another £100 for you. Now those 100 each make a MINIMUM 200 with your name at No4 and only receive 10 replies each, you will make an additional £1000!! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 1000 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with your name at No3 and they each only receive 10 replies that just made you £10,000?!!! Those 10,000 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with your name at No2 and if still only 10 people per 200 newsgroups react, you will receive £100,000! With an original investment of only £6 that's AMAZING!!!
Do you realise that thousands of People all over the world are joining the Internet every day? And reading these articles JUST LIKE YOU ARE NOW! There are tons of honest users looking at newsgroups and message boards everyday that will be willing to give it a try. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users joining the Internet every day. So can you afford £6 and see if it really works? I think so... **Remember** PLAY FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. DONT play honestly and fairly and it WONT. Good luck in your new business!!! How to turn £6 into £10,000! Or more!! Do it!! MAKE EASY MONEY.NO JOKE.NO SCAM.THIS IS AMAZING!!!!

White House press secretary Tony Snow has been injecting himself quite a bit into the information he dispenses, reportedly (no pun intended), on behalf of the White House. Recently he stated, There's an assumption that people have been given marching orders, and at this point, the president is asking folks to take a look at a number of things." What exactly did Snow say? He used to be a newscaster at Fox News. That is he read the news stories and tried to make them sound interesting. A newscaster is paid to do that. So one night they report about a lost puppy, the next day about 9/11 and the day after that about Donald Trumps Miss USA out all night partying. Thats the way it goes. Back to the phrase above Snow mentions an assumption about marching orders. Who had the assumption? I didnt, did you? What people is he talking about? What orders were they given? Then he moves on to the President. I assume he means President Bush (well, theres that assumption). Snow then mentions some folks being asked to look at a number of things. First, Id like to confirm that is President Bush he is talking about, but, all kidding aside, which folks is he indicating and what things are they being asked to look at? This one sentence of Snows is the perfect snow job, dont you think? Lots of words and nothing conveyed. It gets worse. Snow went on to say (at the same Press Conference) : I think people are trying to create a fight between the president and the Joint Chiefs when one does not exist. I dont really care what Tony Snow thinks do you? In any case again, which people is he talking about? Is he talking about you and I? He comes off sounding like a bad sports reporter who showed up at a game late. He doesnt really know who is playing or what they are doing but he is paid to talk so he talks. I think that Tony Snow must be one of the bright parts of President Bushs day. I can see him as he pushes Snow out on stage to give em all one more Snow job. I just want the facts. What we have now is a bad reporter reading bad copy to other reporters. What do you think?

The other day Rosie ODonnell made a joke on The View about what a newscaster in China might say about Danny Devitos appearance on the show. She caricatured a Chinese newscaster and New York City Councilman John Liu, who is apparently more attached to his Chinese race than his American citizenship was offended by it. First of all I wonder if John Liu watches The View regularly. If he does I have to comment that most of us are at work when the show is on. Additionally if a middle aged man is recording The View and watching it in the evening (it is primarily targeted for women) then there are some other questions I would ask but they are not pertinent to this issue. At issue is John Lius response. It seems out of proportion to the comic antics of the comedian on television. Is there more behind his frustration than he is revealing? I was offended more by his remarks than by Rosie ODonnells comedic routine. Because I was offended I wrote an email to John Liu and do you know what he did? His official New York City Council web site added me, without prompts or asking me, to his online group. Here is what he sent me : "LiuNewYork@gmail.com has added you to the JohnLiuNYCCouncil group with this message: Welcome to the Office of Council Member John C. Liu. Thank you for contacting us and joining our network of friends and citizen activists. This email list is designed to help you stay updated on the latest news and activities at City Hall. Together we can create a better New York!" It would seem that John Liu has used remarks by a television comedian to further his own political career. I am a New Yorker. I was born and raised there. I lived in Elmhurst, New York, which, at the time I was growing up there, was the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in the United States of America. At one point I believe it was boasted that at least one citizen from every nation on earth lived there. So when I tell you that I think that John Lius position and remarks are offensive to me you are getting a broad view and not some racist attitude, as I feel, John Liu has displayed openly and brazenly. Humor is a powerful tool. John Liu would like to take it away from us. It is my opinion that you are either American or you are not. A hyphen does not an American make, no matter how many people vote for you. At this time Communist China is ravaging the American economy. Men like John Liu are apparently not comfortable with the truth. Many Americans have lost their jobs, been forced out of their homes and have lost forever there hopes of achieving the American dream. But in New York thousands of illegal immigrants from China continue to arrive and continue to take jobs there. Jobs that should attract out-of-work rural Americans from North Carolina to California are being turned over to illegal immigrants who accept slave wages. Here in Michigan illegal Chinese immigrants on their way to Chicago and New York sweatshops cross the Detroit River by boat regularly. John Liu hasnt said anything meaningful about that horrible practice as far as I can tell. To continue, however, as I know that New York City cannot stop this national tragedy (even though it should stop encouraging it) I have to say that John Lius remarks offend me on several other levels as well. Right after the World Trade Center was destroyed (by legal immigrants from Saudi Arabia) the national attitude toward New York softened. Prior to that it was hardening into a hatred that is hard to explain to a New Yorker, let alone someone like John Liu. It is best summed up by the Pace Picante sauce commercial where cowboys denigrate and attack another cowboy for using sauce made in New York City. It may seem a minor point but it demonstrates the attitude that New Yorkers receive when they leave the city. I know. I have seen it from Seattle to Texas to New England to the South. As I mentioned, after 9/11, it softened as America pulled together, but lately it has been reverting. Remarks like those made by John Liu invite ridicule of New York. The negative attitude towards New York includes viewing it as weak and whiny. Certainly John Lius comments can be seen in that light. It also presents to the rest of America a united front against them for example here is John Liu a member of one of the most populous races on earth taking umbrage at a joke that was language and not race oriented. The overtones and undertones of his remarks and behavior are onerous. Describing his remarks to American citizens not living in New York brings a scowl of derision not for Rosie ODonnell but against John Liu and ultimately the city itself which is viewed as being out of touch with America and reality in general. I have to ask doesnt John Liu have any important work to do or is the New York City Council a bunch of do-nothing hecklers? The crime rate is still spectacular is it not? The problem of waste disposal is still looming is it not? Illegal immigration remains a major industry does it not? Lack of opportunity for native youth still nags does it not? The Hudson River is still an ecological mess is it not? Air quality remains foul does it not? Unemployment remains a problem does it not? Drug dealers and drug use still gouge the city do they not? Competition from West Coast cities continue to drag the economy does it not? I have to say that I find the inclusion of Chinese characters on street signs and at subway stops to be offensive and I request that the New York City Council immediately remove the symbols from public signs. It is offensive that immigrants from China, many illegal, do not have the courage and tenacity to learn English in the nation that they forced themselves into. I also believe that referring to an area in downtown Manhattan as China Town in travel brochures and city literature is offensive and outdated. I believe it should stop immediately. Chinese restaurants and stores in the City of New York should compete equally with their American counterparts without exploiting their racist bigotry. John Liu has embarrassed the New York City Council, New York City itself and the millions of citizens who live there without inciting racial hatred or bitterness towards other through jealousy and ignorance. As for offensive behavior of Chinese customs I need only bring to your attention to the official office opening ceremony of Cotton Incorporateds office in Communist China when Americans were forced to witness and participate in a ceremony that involved a one-eyed dragon which remains on guard at the office entrance to this day. Additionally take note of the Chinese Naming Ceremony used for panda births in Atlanta, Georgia and San Diego, California. Steeped in superstition and Communist propaganda the zoos had to comply with the official Chinese Communist ceremonies in order to register the birth of the pandas with the repressive and murderous government in Peking. In the face of these bizarre activities, the fact that Communist Chinese troops recently arrived in Pakistan I take issue with Mr. Lius racist comments. John Lius behavior and the manner in which such a low-level government official could gain national attention is just another reason for New York City to be broken up. It is too large to govern properly. It is flooded with corruption, crime and politicians eager for attention rather than able to perform their simple duties. As for the New York City Council - their focus appears diffuse to say the least. To give an example of their wandering interests take a look at suggested General Issues that you can contact Christine Quinn about at her website : http://www.nyccouncil.info/rightnow/contactspkr.cfm 1. Animal Care 2. Child Care 3. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender 4. Nightlife Safety 5. Waterfront I wonder if 4 and 5 dont rightly belong with number 3. Do you think that Mr. Lius behavior should be allowed to continue without his being reigned in - or does his Chinese-ness provide some magical protection to him from the rule of law, common sense and common courtesy?

I was coming back down from walking around a quiet town in Canada. I had sunshine, rain and snow. I had it all for a day. I drove down to the Canadian border and paid my toll to pass through the tunnel. The border agent was wearing a light jacket and his shirt was open. Then I went across the border back to my homeland. The United States of America. There was a guard wearing heavy body armor. Across from me I saw another guard wearing a helmet and so much body armor that I had pushed him over in a snow pile he wouldnt have been able to get up, let alone handle a weapon with ease and skill. I produced my drivers license but something went wrong. The guard got on the phone and said, Ive got a bad number. The camera they used to take a picture of my license plate number malfunctioned. It missed the zero at the end of my plate. The guard immediately became animated and asked for the keys to my car. He then asked me to pop my trunk and he searched it. Then he opened the rear door of my car and searched my car. Then he opened the canvas sack I had my clothes and toothpaste in and he searched that. I had my birth certificate with me but these guys didnt want to make sure I was an American - they just wanted to violate just about every freedom I have been guaranteed. What if their equipment had malfunctioned and they tagged me, an American whose settler family ancestry in this nation dates back to 1621 and whose Native American ancestry dates back much farther than that, as a terrorist? What if they had shot and killed me instead of searching my vehicle? My wife would have gotten a phone call and they would tell you they did the right thing. Would you question the motives of man dressed in combat gear and carrying heavy weapons at the border? If you dont question it now they will end up on your street corners taunting your children and searching your wife. Ive had just about enough. Well, how about you?

Following the twin scandals of Representative Foley, Republican from Florida and Rev Ted Haggard the New Life Church pastor it seems that the outspoken opposition to same-sex marriage might have its roots in a more sinister place than hometown churches. Representative Foley, Republican from Florida resigned over his sexual predatory activity with young boys in Washington, D.C. Reverend Ted Haggard was the president of the National Association of Evangelicals from which it seemed he had unfettered access to the White House. He had to resign because of charges about him meeting with a homosexual prostitute on a monthly basis and buying methamphetamine. These two men and many like them have been loudly opposed to same-sex marriage. Who would benefit most from homosexuals pairing and ceasing promiscuous and dangerous sexual behavior? The men and women that prey on them, thats who. Denying homosexuals like Vice President Dick Cheneys daughter to marry other homosexuals men and women like Representative Foley and Reverend Haggard can keep their playing field open. Simply put - it seems that the real opposition to gay marriage is coming from the very sexual predatory and child molesting minority that many people claim to be against. Insisting that it is against the best interests of the United States to deny anyone the right to pair off if they want to in marriage is ridiculous and in itself a perverted and dangerous position. It is time now for these filthy people to get out of the private business of others.

Senator Dole, who has been nearly silent during her career as Senator for North Carolina has recently been quoted as saying, "It's like they're content with losing. To pull out and withdraw is losing. The Democrats appear to be content with losing. She was talking about the United States in Iraq. The Circus of Sadaam Hussein finished its first act by condemning Sadaam to death just in time for American mid-term elections. Senator Dole, who got her seat apparently due to backroom machinations by her aging husband, an ex-Senator from Kansas, now seems intent on stirring up domestic trouble in the United States. She is showing a weakness in the Republican party that I dont care for. As an American who happens to be a Republican her personal attacks against my fellow Americans leave me with a sick feeling in my stomach. I believe I am seeing Senator Dole relying on the same, sorry political tricks her husband used to play in Kansas. Anyone that thinks so little of the Great State of North Carolina that they can snap their fingers to get their way must be in denial about many other things as well. Senator Doles behavior, coming as it does from a woman who has enjoyed a life of ease and whose brushes with adversity seem to be limited to not finding the right color for her limousine or having her veal overcooked should have her attention drawn to one very pertinent fact. Youre not in Kansas anymore.

Have you seen any American television lately? It seems that they are choosing story lines simply by price. The same goes for the director, actors and support personnel. The bottom line sells and the bottom line in American television is getting lower every day. The three major networks used to be respected names in radio and television. In this year of 2006 I suggest a reality check for those same names : ABC - A Bunch of Claptrap NBC - Nother Bunch of Claptrap CBS - Claptrap Baloney Snowjob The corporations themselves have been absorbed by entertainment and manufacturing corporations. We no longer get information critical of the other companies that own these companies. Here is an example of the type of entertainment being peddled by NBC : The Waist Deep DVD brings you into the violent streets of South Central Los Angeles. The violence in the Waist Deep DVD starts as ex-con/security guard O2 (Tyrese Gibson) gets car-jacked while his son is sleeping in the backseat. As the car jacker and now kidnapper holds the child for ransom, O2 has only 48 hours to come up with one hundred thousand dollars. With the help of his new found love Coco (Meagan Good), they hatch a plan to rob banks and take down gang leader, Meat (The Game). In the Waist Deep movie, the action never stops as it rolls through the gritty streets of South Central. I think a better title would be Waste Deep - how about you?

After learning that Maj. Gen. Richard A. Huck of Camp LeJeune, then the commander of the Second Marine Division, reduced the sentence of Corporal Pimienta (who had murdered a fellow Marine by mishandling his weapon and then fled to Europe to escape prosecution) to six years and the dishonorable discharge to a bad-conduct discharge I realized the depths to which the United States Marine Corps has fallen. Major General Huck, in my opinion, is not fit for command. I dont think he is the type of man that should be in the Marine Corps. The lack of judgment he used trying to hide this crime seemed a misguided attempt to maintain the reputation of the Marine Corps. Instead he tarnished it. It shows to the world gang style operations which present the Marine Corps not as an honorable group fighting for freedom but a gang led by out of touch officers who allow the enlisted men to kill one another instead of the enemy. This then, makes Major General Richard Huck, in my opinion, a danger not only the Marine Corps but to the United States of America. I understand that the military during peacetime allows men like Huck to move forward because other citizens are doing other things - but that is no excuse to allow him to continue in his office. The honorable thing that Major General Huck should do, if he is capable of honorable action (which I thoroughly doubt) would be to resign and decline his retirement pay immediately.

Get It? A bit abstract to understand at 1st, but the Rock Solid Math Is Definitely There! Calculations Of Earnings: Your own sign up $10.00 First level 27x $.40=$10.80 Second level 729x$.20=$145.80 Third level 19683x$.05=$984.15 Fourth level 531441x$.03=$15943.23 Total Earned On All 4 Levels = $17,083.98 Now Let's Pretend You Get Really Ambitious With This Program and shoot for 20 sign-ups instead of the 3 which is really easy!

That is 8000 * $ 0.40 = $ 3,200.00 (and that's only 1 Level!) And then the 8000 joined under you will bring you a 16,000,000 member down line in the first generation which will bring you 16,000,000 * $.20 = $ 3,200,000.00 U.S. Dollars Total!!!

Cost To You: NOTHING but the 10-20 minutes To Make This Happen! A word or caution: "IF YOU CHEAT, YOU LOSE!!!" This must cycle upwards through all 3 spots as shown in the 3 member list above to work. KNOWLEDGE IS USELESS UNLESS IT IS USED! Making This Much Money Is Easy & Fun!!! ***HOW TO POST YOUR MESSAGE*** Simply go to google.com and type in the "Search Field" different things like: "millionaire message boards", "millionaire forums," "money making opportunities message boards," "yahoo money making messages," "posting newsgroups," "posting messages for income opportunities," "one minute millionaire," "financial freedom postings," "internet forum opportunities," "millionaire postings," etc., etc., etc. Also use your imagination to get the word out through your own creativity; as well as typing in the "google search field" those 'keys words' for finding message(posting) groups seeking instant wealth as you see in the previous sentence! On-Line classifieds is just another of many ways to advertise! Other search engines besides Google will work as well. (i.e. "Yahoo Search" which is not totally identical to Google) REMEMBER: THE MORE NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST AT, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!! AS A RULE IF YOU POST A MINIMUM AT 200 MESSAGE BOARDS, YOU'LL LIKELY MAKE THE 20 SIGN-UP RESPONSE! THEN YOU CAN KICK BACK ON "EASY STREET" AS THE NEXT MILLIONAIRE AND DO NOTHING BUT COUNT YOUR $$$ MONEY $$$ AS YOUR RESIDUAL INCOME CONTINUES TO ROLL IN NON-STOP!!! And Believe Me,...

I cannot tell you how deeply I am sickened each time I look at or am exposed to a picture of President George Bush holding hands with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. The Saudis have been the ones who have benefited the most not only from the events of 9/11 which was carried out primarily by Saudi Arabians but by the following invasion and present occupation of Iraq. Iraqs government had been the only Arab government opposing the vain policies of Saudi Arabia. But I am not speaking in defense of Iraq I just want to point out that it would be well within the character of the Saudi Arabians to convince President Bush, publicly through supporting statements while making private threats against our economy. After all if Saudi Arabia could cause such unrest with just two airliners imagine what they could do if they started to manipulate the world oil market even more than they do so now. Their financial reach is tremendous and men like George Bush who desire things to remain undisturbed then keeping the Saudi Arabians happy is a natural response. It is, to me, still an ugly picture to see our American President prancing around with a Saudi Prince. The Saudi behavior, as I mentioned, is within character and indeed, is a matter of history. The Arabs and Muslims have behaved like this before. Only then people spoke against them. They did not hold hands with them and walk through flower gardens crooning their love for them and promising to lay down American lives to keep Saudi bellies full. Think also of those representatives and senators who welcome into our midst with open arms the bald-faced lies and economic thievery of Communist China. Its up to you what happens to your nation. Todays crisis is nothing new and should not be allowed to continue without a reasonable response. Else give up your homes and your lives. You have nothing to defend merely because you will not defend it.
Here is an example from Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus Funeral Oration for his brother Theodore. What can one say about those who had deserted to the enemy, joining the wolves, as one might say, desirous of devouring their kinsmens flesh, though in fact they were only devouring their own? It would take too long to detail their actions and it is better to omit what would only plunge into gloom those who are already suffering.
Here is some more : I wish to speak of things in general rather than of particular individuals. I say that the Christians who deserted to our enemies, the infidels, are clearly mad, rather they behave worse than those who are diseased in mind. For even if such madmen were to thrust a sword into their bodies they would not harm their souls nor would they arouse hatred in others, but on the contrary the would call forth compassion from onlookers. But any rational man ought to feel great hatred towards these men because they willingly defile their souls with the aid of their full senses. They seek for that which originally spurred them on to a join the enemies of our faith; I speak of wealth and glory and whatever are considered to be the pleasures of life. It would have been hard for them to achieve this had they not appeared acceptable to our enemies to whom they have deserted. And it would certainly have been impossible for them to appear acceptable to them unless they first took part in those things in which our enemies delight. This means that they have to live according to barbarian customs and must willingly defile their souls by unlawful deeds. A worse fate will befall these people than that of madmen, for they will be judged deserving not of compassion but of great hatred, for they have deliberately given themselves up to wickedness, damaging their souls rather than their bodies. But the most abominable thing of all is the fact that they considered it necessary to betray their souls, insult their honour and indeed that of the whole nation against which they have been persuaded to act, otherwise from the outset their actions would have profited them nothing nor would their reward have lasted long. Thus like a bubble which is quickly inflated to bursting point those who thought that they would succeed in getting a well defended city from our enemies had their vain aspirations very rapidly pricked without having achieved anything.
Still more : For how is it possible for a man to observe strictly what he has adopted on the spur of the moment when he so easily tramples down his life-long customs. Moreover to harm ones nation is to harm oneself, since the whole contains the part. And how can the man who harms himself do good to others? Moreover, if we were to consider this more carefully, such a man becomes loathsome even to his own conscience and how much more to everyone else? But why do I say this when I can make a more telling point? It was impossible for them to preserve their confession and faith in Christ inviolate. Why? Because in their union with Christ they promised absolute loyalty to him and enmity against the demons and yet afterwards they did the opposite. Rather, we should speak out more clearly and point out the enormity of the sin, for those who wish to live with the followers of Muhammad and side with the enemies of the faith against us are fighting against Christ, the source of our faith, and openly waging war against Him.
Finally : Something else also follows which is to be deplored, or rather, is exceedingly wicked. As a result of their intrigues they proclaim Muhammad a prophet. For that abominable man had promised victory against us to the peoples he deceived and enslaved.

How many prayers can I say to correct what has gone wrong? How many prayers would it take to change this vicious course of events? What actions can I take to fix these horrible things? A grown man walks into a school and assaults the girl children there. He then kills one and then himself with a high powered gun. Another grown man a thousand miles away goes into a schoolhouse and attacks a room full of girl children with a high powered gun. Five are dead today. Several others are in the hospital mortally wounded. The doctors call it being in critical condition. They say the children who have been attacked by these adults are in critical condition. Thats the medical term. What is the human term? If you watch professional sports why take one minute of just one game to consider how you can change things. You cant stop what happened already. Its worse than a fumble or a missed pitch. If you own a gun - why not take one minute to think about what could do to change the course of this blood-red rage for senseless violence? If you are in business why not take one minute of one coffee break to think of a way to stop this baggage from following and permeating our society? Girl children. Slaughtered by men. ] For all the noise and dust kicked up about terrorists and the enemy out there look at what happened here in the United States. Spawned from home grown hatred and misguided choices and lives that exclude hope. A Baptist clergyman from Kansas had this to say about the slaughter of the innocents in Pennsylvania, "Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls blah, blah, blah they brought the wrath upon themselves. He said the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves." Charles Carl Roberts IV killed these girls Naomi Rose Ebersole, 7; Marian Fisher, 13; Mary Liz Miller, 8; and her sister Lena Miller, 7, Anna Mae Stoltzfus, 12. Another 6 year old girl was taken off life support so that she could be taken home to die. Dr. D. Holmes Morton who was working with the 6 year old said, "I just think at this point mostly these families want to be left alone in their grief and we ought to respect that." Here is a man who worked with the Amish for years and still doesnt see what is right in front of him. The Amish dont want to be left alone. They want you to join them in a life of peace and harmony. The world is a harsh place as it is but the modern world is filled with things that do not need to be that cause needless sorrow and waste a lot of time. The handguns that killed these children wasted a lot of time and have caused much sorrow. An Amish neighbor comforted the Roberts family hours after the shooting and extended forgiveness to them. What courage before Christ have you shown today that could even come close to matching the compassion and love that was shown here? It went almost without notice. Hidden in the howling mob-like news coverage. The common human experience was nearly quenched in the riot of sound and images just as the lives of these girl children were snuffed out. But the light shone out. Do you see it? What action will you take to make the world a better place? What will YOU do to make this country and Gods world a place where girl children are safe? Its up to you. This happened to your neighbors. People you are bound to protect as an American and a person.
