Friday in February

Yesterday, there was an explosion of Continential Express Flight 3407. All members on the flight have died. It occured near Buffalo near Upstate New York. One of the victims was a 9/11 activist named Beverly Eckert. Her husband Sean Rooney died in the attack on the World Trade Center. Later, Beverly became co-chairperson of the group called Voices of September 11th. Her sister is named Sue Bourque. Sean Rooney was a Buffalo native. Beverly was planning to go to take part in the presentation of a scholarship award at Canisius High School. She established that scholarship in order to honor her late husband. Bourque said that: "...We know she was on that plane...and now she’s with him..." Eckert was rooney's high school sweetheart. They lived in Stamford, Connecticut. Now, Eckert after 9/11 pushed for a formal commission in order to investigate intelligence failures and for a proper memoiral to the victims. Family members and friends identified two other people believed to be on the plane as Ellyce Kausner, a graduate of Clarence High School and Canisius College who was studying law at Florida Coastal University in Jacksonville, and Maddy Loftus, a Buffalo State College graduate who lives in New Jersey. No one knows exactly how the plane collasped. One witness said that it felt like a mini earthquake. This event is a terrible tradegy indeed.

The Fairness Doctrine is being promoted by more Democrats. The Fairness Doctrine is about the government forcing radio companies to have 2 points of view on their broadcasts on controversial issues. There are problems with this. Not only is this policy against the free speech rights of radio hosts (hence, it's against the First Amendment). Also, even controversial issues have more point of views than just 2. Now, Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow has an ally in Senator Tom Harkin. Stabenow recently told Bill Press (who is the recent chair of the California Democratic Party and a radio talk show host ironicaly) that she would call for McCarthy like hearings in Washington about political views on talk radio. This is done in order to force the government to force talk radio to have "balance" (when she doesn't describe what is balance in her mind). Stabenow backed down after the neo con Sean Hannity plastered his Fox News website with the Michigan Senator's photo and phone number. This call for government censorship of radio stations is continuing by Tom Harkin. Harkin told Bill Press that he favors the Fairness Doctrine. Many progressive talk radio stations are shutting down not because of censorship. The reason is that they have low ratings and people don't want to hear them. Bill Press wants to spread paranoia about how "right wingers" have taken over the airwaves. The truth is that the corporate media (who are neither conservative nor liberal, but globalist) control most of the mainstream radio stations in America. Both FOX News and Air America are apart of the false left/right paradigm to try to defuse any real activism against the government. Their agitation are preventing some people from seeing the bigger picture about how international bankers (and big Foundations) are using their wealth to run Congress basically. The Democrats might hold these anti-free speech hearings. Many of them are hypocrites by claiming to advocate free speech, but want to silent voices that they disagree with. The Fairness Doctrine should be opposed since it's against the First Amendment and individual liberty completely.

Afua Hirsch and Richard Norton-Taylor from the Guardian on February 11, 2009 described the possibility that there are echoes of Bush in the new Obama government. Barack Obama have said that he wants to ban torture, honor the Geneva Conventions, and close down Guantanamo Bay by the end of this year. Much was made, rightly, of the unprecedented ruling in the English high court last week when Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Lloyd Jones made it abundantly clear they wanted evidence to be disclosed of how Binyam Mohamed, the former British resident held in Guantánamo Bay, was tortured. Yet, these authors believe little might change in terms of foreign policy actions. Material was withheld in Mohamed's case, because the material according to U.S. officials was sensitive. They criticize Barack Obama for not allowing openness about releasing documents detailing the torture sins of the past Bush administration. Then on Monday, Obama's justice department repeated the Bush administration's policy of citing "state secrets" to prevent the release of evidence concerning extraordinary renditions. One rendition story, specifically, is how Jeppeson Dataplan, (a subsidiary of Boeing based in San Jose, California and Crawley, West Sussex), allegedly helped the CIA transfer them to countries where they faced torture. Eric Holder, who is the new U.S. Attorney General, had instructed officials to review the state secrets policy. This is according to a Justice Department spokesman. The spokesman said that: "It is vital that we protect information that, if released, could jeopardise national security." Therefore, we ought to be transparent about any misgivings and immoral torture that has existed in the past. Leahy wants to have an investigation of Bush's policies, but the Attorney Turley wants jail time (for those in the Bush White House who are involved in torture). Torture is always wrong. The Inquistion with its torture was immoral. Also, the torture that American soldiers experienced during WWII, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraqi wars are also evil.

Mississippi is one state that passed a bill. This bill will protect the state residents' gun rights during martial law. There are words on the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi website. On it, Phil Bryant announces the passage of SB 2036. The legislation “restricts the power of a peace officer to confiscate firearms and ammunitions in an emergency or during a time of martial law,” according to the website. The significant about this bill is that it refers to martial law. Mississippi senator Merle Flowers authored the bill. He referred it to the Judiciary on January 6, 2009. According to the Mississippi bill status website, the act amends Section 33-7-303 of Mississippi Code of 1972 and “explicitly restrict the power to confiscate firearms and ammunitions in an emergency.” Mississippi passed the law. Now, this was after the evil that occured in Hurricane Katrina. Not only was all levels of government neglinent in helping the victims in that tragedy of Katrina. Also, the government illegally stole innocent people's firearms in the city of New Orleans. That was so immoral that people were sued the government after that incident. One older women was stolen of her gun when she wasn't a criminal at all. Law enforcement authorities stole her firearm by force. This law is pro-Second Amendment since it protects law abiding citizens from having their guns stolen by the government during a time of emergency. Since the time of an emergency is one of the most serious times, people have a right to own a firearm to protect themselves (including their famillies and property). A number of states are introducing and passing resolutions (and bills) that declare their sovereignity from the federal government (which is found in the Tenth Amendment). Therefore, liberty found in the Second Amendment is an important part of the Bill of Rights to protect.

The Mexico City Policy being eliminated is evil as we all know. The government has no right to use our taxpayer dollars by force to fund abortions internationally at all. One of the few things that George W. Bush did right was reinstating the Mexico City Policy in 2001. Jill Stanek from WND.com wrote that 5 groups at least were profiting from the Mexico City policy repeal in previous years. Only 5 of the 457 organizations declined U.S. Agency for International Development family planning assistance in protest over the Mexico City Policy in 2001. They were: the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Marie Stopes International, Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee, Family Planning Association of Kenya and Family Planning Association of Nepal. These groups were disgraceful, because they would rather close their clinic doors to suffering mothers and children, rather than give up abortion. In 2000, the year before President Bush reinstated the Mexico City Policy (after President Clinton overturned it in 1993), the International Planned Parenthood got a paltry $5 million via USAID. While, the others combined received less than $1 million from a budget of $393.5 million, while only 1.5 percent of the total. 5 million dollars is nothing to the International Planned Parenthood Federation when they get billions of dollars per year. The threat of abortions internationally still hasn't past. Marie Stopes organizations funds coerced abortion and sterilization in China according to Jilll Stanek. They use money from other sources (not the American taxpayer's wealth back then) to fund their cruelty. This is all the more reason to make sure that in the future, the Mexico City Policy is permanently perserved in America. Our taxpayer money is never needed to fund this murder. Folks more than ever are speaking up against this notoriously evil policy of using taxpayer dollars to fund abortions overseas. Abortion is forever murder.

Steven Ertelt from LifeNews.com on February 11, 2009 wrote about how the University of Calgary denied pro-life students club status after initial censorship. There was a quick hearing on Tuesday at the University of Calgary. The university's student government revoked the club status of a pro-life group that resisted efforts to censor their message. The students who attend the college were arrested and were charged with trespassing last week. The pro-lifers were setting up a pro-life display. When UC officials warned members of Campus Pro-Life that they had to restrict their own pro-life display, the students refused to comply. That action led the University of Calgary Students' Union to revoke its official status. According to the Calgary Herald, the clubs committee decided to de-sanction the Campus Pro-Life Club because its display violated its policies. Pro-Life club vice President Cameron Wilson told the newspaper that the action is a "disturbing abuse of power ... when the body elected to protect us heaps further oppression upon us." The pro-life group will lose its ability to use college meeting rooms, some funding, and the use of campus equipment (without the approval of the campus student government). During the hearing, Campus Pro-Life secretary Asia Strezynski repeatedly asked committee chairwoman Alex Judd to cite the policy her group allegedly violated. The panel could only come up with a bylaw that gives the student government the right to sanction clubs that violate policies. Alanna Campbell, who is the pro-life group treasurer told the Herald that the panel couldn't cite a single violated they've committed. Also, she said that: “We were hoping our Student’s Union would stick up for their student’s rights and freedoms, but they are obviously not going to.” Campbell is planning to appeal to the full student government board. The decision drew fire from Gerald Gall. Gall is a law professor at the University of Alberta who said that the student government should have waited until a hearing in the trespassing charges case later this month. The censoring of pro-life voices in college campuses have been a growing epidemic in the world. It's wrong and the free speech rights of pro-life ought to be enhanced in colleges globally.

The ACLU is at it again. There is a battle after cops investigated an illegal immigration tax fraud deal. Chelsea Schilling wrote about this story from WND.com. She wrote that after authorities investigated thousands of tax files for bogus Social Security numbers used by illegal immigrants to steal refunds, the ACLU responded with a class action lawsuit. Yet, a Colorado district attorney is fighting back. The Weld County district attorney, sheriff's office and the Greeley Police Department launched "Operation Number Games" in August last year. They investigated 5,000 tax files after one suspect (named Servando Trejo) filed taxes through Amalia's Translation and Tax Service, the Rocky Mountain News reported. Servando admitted using a fake name and Social Security number to Amalia Cerrillo, who was his tax preparer. He was linked to a Texas man who reported his Social Security number that had been stolen. Cerillo said that she will help them file taxes without judgment. Authorities in October served a warrant to search files at the tax company. They were looking for folks who filed for returns using identification belonging to other Americans. Of the 5,000 documents they searches, they found 1,300 cases of possible Social Security fraud. Weld County "Obviously, the federal government isn't doing their job, and it's falling to local agencies to do it," Weld County Sheriff John Cooke told the Times. Officials said that the average tax returns they found had workers paying as little as $800 in taxes (claiming that numerous exemptions and credits existed plus they were receiving refunds of more than $2,000). The ACLU claimed that the campaign by the government violated privacy laws. The ACLU filed the lawsuit on behalf of Cerillo in Weld District Court on January 26, 2009. District Attorney Ken Buck told the Greeley Tribune that the ACLU takes the side of illegal immigrants more than U.S. citizens. Ken is selling T-Shirt to earn money in order to fight the lawsuit. They cost $10 and they are selling fast. The truth is that there ought to be a balance between protecting our privacy and fighting against illegal immigration in legitimate means.

Secret Societies are mentioned in movies all of the time. On May of 2009, Angels and Demons is a new film staring Tom Hanks. The "Angels and Demons Movie" tells the story of Robert (Tom Hanks) Langdon's brush with a shadowy secret society, the Illuminati, and his frantic quest for the world's most powerful energy source, in the company of a beautiful Italian physicist whose father, a brilliant physicist, has been murdered. Like Da Vinci Code, it harbors disinformation about the real history of the Vatican and the Illuminati. Some believe it even covertly supports the Papacy (while overtly opposing the Papacy). That is why much of the cast of Angels and Demons met with the leaders of the Papacy. The film proclaims that the Vatican are the bad guys, while the Illuminati are the good guys fighting against the Vatican. When, the truth is that both the Vatican (who have blatantly unbiblical views like the Rosary and calling Mary the Queen of Heaven) and the Illuminati are both the bad guys working in a Hegelian Dialetic in forming the new world order. Both have concepts that related to the old Mystery Schools of ancient Babylon (and ancient Egypt). Both want an utopian world order and each try to take over the world. Adam Weishaupt was a professor of the Jesuit University of Ingolstadt in Bavaria. He wanted enlightenment principles to rule the world along with the destruction of monarchies. That is why he formed the Bavarian Illuminati in the time of May 1, 1776. So, the Angels and Demons film couldn't be accepted as an attack on the establishment at all. The movie industry is owned by them.
