Is A War Going On In Texas Phyllis Schlafly - 2006-02-15 If you don't have access to Texas newspapers or the Internet, you may not have heard the sensational news about the enormous cache of weapons just seized in Laredo, Texas. U.S. authorities grabbed two completed Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), materials for making 33 more, military-style grenades, 26 grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, 1,280 rounds of ammunition, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bullet-proof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics, and cash. That sounds like a war is going on in Texas! If bomb-making factories and firearms assembly plants are ordinary day-to-day business in the drug war ...
MoreClimate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him Andrew C. Revkin - 2006-01-29 Isn't freedom of speech one of the things we are supposed to be fighting terrorists for? Jim Climate Expert Says NASA Tried to Silence Him By Andrew C. Revkin The New York Times January 29, 2006 The top climate scientist at NASA says the Bush administration has tried to stop him from speaking out since he gave a lecture last month calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases linked to global warming. The scientist, James E. Hansen, longtime director of the agency's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said in an interview that officials at NASA headquarters had ordered the public affairs ...
MoreNEW COFFEE OFFERS HEALTHFUL ENERGETIC WAY TO START THE DAY Jim Marrs - 2006-01-12 Some years ago scientists at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center made a study of spider webs*. They specifically noted the webs after a common spider, the Araneus diadematus, was dosed by various chemicals. Basically they discovered that the more toxic the chemical, the fewer organized cells could be found in the spider’s web. Not surprisingly, the spider on marijuana drifted off to other pursuits leaving the web unfinished. The spider on the upper Benzedrine worked energetically but the web showed a lack of planning. The spider on the sedative chloral hydrate soon fell asleep. But, according to Dr. David Noever, who ...
MoreBad Blood In the Treatment of Diabetes, Success Often Does Not Pay Ian Urbina - 2006-01-11 With much optimism, Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan opened its new diabetes center in March 1999. Miss America, Nicole Johnson Baker, herself a diabetic, showed up for promotional pictures, wearing her insulin pump. In one photo, she posed with a man dressed as a giant foot - a comical if dark reminder of the roughly 2,000 largely avoidable diabetes-related amputations in New York City each year. Doctors, alarmed by the cost and rapid growth of the disease, were getting serious. At four hospitals across the city, they set up centers that featured a new model of treatment. ...
MoreEX-EPA CHIEFS CRITICIZE BUSH ON WARMING JOHN HEILPRIN - 2006-01-19 Notice that only one of these ex-EPA officials is a Democrat. The USA is fighting unprovoked foreign wars while our infrastructure falls apart. No security there, folks. Jim EX-EPA CHIEFS CRITICIZE BUSH ON WARMING By JOHN HEILPRIN The U.S. is failing to take the lead in confronting global warming, a "dishonest" and "self-destructive" approach that only worsens the problem, say former federal environmental chiefs. "We need leadership, and I don't think we're getting it," Russell Train said Wednesday at an Environmental Protection Agency symposium commemorating the agency's 35th anniversary. Added Bill Ruckelshaus: "I don't think there's a commitment in this administration." They were among five former EPA heads — ...
MoreErecting a Police State in America Nancy Levant - 2006-01-03 Food for thought. Perhaps it is time for political correctness to give way to common sense. Jim Erecting a Police State in America Nancy Levant January 3, 2006 As a response to 911, our elected representatives have given to the American people, via many statutes, The Department of Homeland Security - a civilian agency. They have also broadened the national powers and militarized FEMA. Equally, C.O.P.S. (Community Oriented Policing Services) has been massively and federally funded to set up private policing patrols in most, if not all, of the new deed-restricted and “planned” communities where many American citizens now live. These policed communities are being raised ...
MoreBush takes responsibility for invasion intelligence President says removing Hussein still 'right decision' (CNN) - 2005-12-14 President Bush's PR people are a work again and it's boosted his approval ratings into the 40 percent range. Why couldn't he have admitted he was the victim of faulty intelligence two years ago? And was he a true victim? Many people tried to tell him at the time of the invasion that his so-call "intelligence" was inaccurate but he didn't listen. Worse yet, it was not really faulty intelligence that was responsible for the debacle we find ourselves in today, the facts available today show it was clearly premeditated lies. Jim Bush takes responsibility for invasion intelligence ...
