What do you know about Islam?

Yesterday six million of Jewish, Tomorrow ... millions of Muslims were. Throughout history, targeted propaganda by politicians and leaders has been used to manipulate the masses to vilify and demonize a segment of the population.  Today with the help of global technology, propaganda is spearheading a hidden agenda. Vilifying Islam and its people, demonizing it to justify genocide. In the United States, the general populations are media and technology junkies; views are like lobotomized, robotized souls brainwashed to behave and think as we are told and should fit in.  Our free will is just an illusion. Can you be part of this society without a credit card? A credit score? ... Why are we so easily sawed to condemn an entire Religion because of the action of a few fanatics, Nationalists, and extremist Muslims?  are the Crusade, the inquisition, and the KKK a representation of Christianity? Educate yourself; yesterday, it was six million of Jewish, is tomorrow ... millions of Muslims? &

Memorial Day; Honor those who died to protect our way of live.

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, and the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not forget that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind, and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The desired world can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.” Ayn Ran As a reminder, Memorial Day evolved from Decoration Day, started in 1868 as a day to decorate the graves of those who died in America's Civil War.

What is a Superpower? Alice Lyman Miller (Professor of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School) defines a superpower as: "a country that has the capacity to project dominating power and influence anywhere in the world, and sometimes, in more than one region of the globe at a time, and so may plausibly attain the status of global hegemon." The superpower was first applied in 1944 to the United States, the Soviet Union, and the British Empire.  After WWII, the United States stayed the only country with its industrial infrastructures intact and the atomic bomb. President Truman said: "the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." The United States has influenced and intervened in other governments unprecedentedly throughout history. The 1947 National Security Act fundamentally changed and reorganized The United States Military establishment, The National Security Council; it was also used as a pretext for Extra-Const

The European Union's and Lisbon treaty. The Next great Global Powers might be The E.U.

  The European Union's hopes of more significant global clout centered on Ireland on Friday as voting started in a referendum to ratify the Lisbon Treaty. A year ago, Irish voters rejected the treaty, a watered-down version of the constitution that French and Dutch voters vetoed in 2005. The treaty gives the bloc more decisive leadership, effective foreign policy, and a fairer decision-making system. Follow the link for a clear map of the E.U.   http://www.ezilon.com/european_maps.htm 27 Countries Here are some of the main points of the 250-page treaty. * INSTITUTIONS : E.U. leaders will choose a president of the European Council for a renewable 2-1/2 year term to strengthen the system of rotating presidencies. -- A powerful new foreign policy chief, at the head of an E.U. foreign service, will give the bloc a more significant say on the world stage. The High Representative will answer to E.U. governments, vice-president of the European Commission, and manage t

"Iraq's War" The men and women who fought and died.

My War, My Story ( after viewing the movie, please take a minute and leave a comment.) This documentary is a candid highlight of Iraq's war.  Vets from across the country talk about their position on the war. Most of these vets remain loyal yet question the U.S. involvement in Iraq. This documentary is not a statement from the political left– many of these vets have a conservative background. The outrage shown by some vets about how corporations have made billions at their expense comes mainly from the working class. The documentary highlights the difficulties of resuming their life: patriotism made them go, and greed made them expendable. You will also hear of civilians killed at checkpoints. Eric, from Chicago, describes the accidental slaughter of three generations of a family. Jimmy from North Carolina ordered his Marines to open fire on a speeding car full of civilians. What effects do incidents like these have in the long run on returning vets? The film
