Mutual Assured Destruction Doctrines: Do Not Hold Water in the Present Period
What is wrong with the Mad MADD World of Mutually Assured Destruction Doctrines anyway? Well in theory they seem to make sense at one time, but perhaps in the future they may not. How so you ask?Read more…Quest for Democracy in Ethiopia
When Dr. Meqdes testified before the House Subcommittee on Africa on March 29, 2006, she was thinking of her father, Professor Mesfin Wolde Mariam.

Media consolidation is reducing the breadth and depth of the information Americans receive about the important issues that confront us as a nation. Hard facts, in depth analysis, and first person accounts about serious matters like the Iraq War, torture, war profiteering, electronic vote tampering, health insurance cost increases, medical errors & malpractice and a host of other important issues are driven off the mainstream news by things like the ascension of a new pope or the funeral of a statesmen.Political activists, through years of research, are often better informed than the average citizen about one or more issues, and they are often much better informed than the average reporter.Read more…From Heroes To Zeroes
Last evening (September 10th, 2006), the CBS news show, Sixty Minutes, devoted a segment to the medical and financial problems, that people are suffering from, who worked at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11. A few of these rescue workers have already died - a mere five years after 9/11. Thousands upon thousands more are suffering from severe respiratory problems - that they will never recover from, and will indeed eventually die from.Common sense alone, would tell anyone - at least anyone without an agenda - that there has to be a connection between the unbelievable number of rescue workers who have already developed respiratory problems (most of the them being relatively young, fit NYC firefighters and cops) and the fact that two 110 story towers composed of steel, glass, asbestos - and Lord knows what else - were essentially reduced to dust that hung in the air for weeks.And if common sense isn’t good enough, medical tests and autopsies have confirmed that connection according to Sixty Minutes.Read more…Is Bush Evil Or Just A Miserable Failure As A Leader?
Here are two facts. 1) There was virtually no connection between 9/11 and Iraq according to the bipartisan congressional report that was released a few days ago. 2) A large percentage of the American public - something like 30 - 40% thinks that Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks.Read more…Goldwater Wouldn't Recognize Bush as a Republican
Lou Dobbs interviewed Barry Goldwater’s grand daughter on his show last night (September 18th, 2006).

It is being shown on HBO.Read more…America and Britain Aim To Revive Global Trade Talks

The United Nations voted 15-0 to punish the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, but the resolution is already being undermined and threatens to allow a nuclear arms race in Asia.China and Russia are giving the United States a glimpse of the opposition it will face when it deals with the Iranian nuclear problem. China may not be willing to enforce searches at ports and stops along its “porous” border with North Korea, which means that weapons parts could be illicitly snuck into the country.Read more…U.N. Assembly Theater For Buffoons, Tyrants
U.N. Assembly Theater For Buffoons, TyrantsAfter the recent United Nations General Assembly session, one is tempted to dismiss it as a theater for buffoons, tyrants and lunatics.Read more…Socialism; Market Socialism
From the economical angle this article studies socialism as the regulated market system, not as political system or ideology. The enterprises are represented as workers’ and are democratically controlled by all who work for them, and among the issues to be decided are the distribution of income within the cooperative. Let us look a little more closely at what the ground rules of such an economy might be.Read more…President Bush – Contrasting The Decision Making Skills Of JFK And George W. Bush
Presidents of the United States can only make decisions based on the information they are getting from the people and other sources that are available to them. Different Presidents obtain that data flow in different ways. This is particularly important because the events we are dealing with are so much more crucial than other Presidents may be dealing with.Read more…Socialism
Today we’ll talk about socialism, the political system popular in USSR in the last century. The fail of massive regulative structure brings the questions of rationality and support of any form of socialism in the future.The experience of communism suggests, fairly unequivocally, that such a system must rely mainly on market mechanisms.Read more…Slovak Economic Development
This article examines the present economic situation in Slovakia which is defined by specific factors: GDP (Gross Domestic Product), inflation, unemployment rate etc. Firstly, let’s clarify those economical terms. Gross Domestic Product is the value of all goods and services produced in a country during one year.Read more…What North Korea Really Wants
Conventional geopolitical thinking has long assumed that North Korea has pursued an unrelenting campaign of provocations, its illicit nuclear program, and even a nuclear weapons test with the objective of assuring the survival of its current regime. Toward that end, an exasperated Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently told CNN, “there is no intention to invade or attack them. So they have that guarantee… I don’t know what more they want.Read more…Nuclear Test By North Korea-A Time To Wake Up

North Korea has tested a low yield nuclear device with 4% of the destructive power of the bomb that the United States dropped on Hiroshima, Japan at the end of World War II. Some believe that the device was much larger but may have failed for technical reasons. We don’t know the truth, because the United States has not devoted the resources to know what is really going on.Read more…Term Limits
Our presidents, many governors and some mayors have term limits. Why? We know that multiple re-elections will poison a person and turn them into a self-server.Read more…Congressmen and Senator Politicians Should Not Be Allowed to Speak at Schools
Often our congressmen and senators will speak at schools in order to promote their political career. It seems that schools should not allow congressmen or senators who are politicians to go to a school anytime near an election. It seems that this could be a ploy to get more votes and it also is increasingly indoctrinating our children into more reliance on the government and less reliance on themselves.Read more…
