February 2011 News

The House is expected to heavily block health funds. The U.S. House will vote on whether to block funding for the new health care law. Eric Cantor is the House Republican leader. He wants to block the implementation of the health care law in order to get rid of it plainly speaking. House Republicans desire to pass a spending measure next week to immediately cut at least $32 billion from the government's $3.7 trillion budget in an effort to trim record budget deficits. Republican lawmakers are expected to unveil details of the spending cut package on Thursday ahead of wide ranging debate on the House floor next week. Cantor's office said the language blocking funding for the healthcare willll be offered as an amendment. He wants a more open legislative process. He plan to debate a number of amendments to the spending bill. Cantor said that he expects the spending bill to include healthcare language when it leaves the House for Senate consideration. The measure is not likely to get pass the mostly Democratic Senate. The Senate rejected a Republican bid to fully repeal the healthcare overhaul that Obama signed into law last year. Republicans last year blocked some 1 billion dollars in implementation of the healthcare law that Democrats wanted to include in the temporary government funding bill that set to expire on March 4. This move by Republicans to block healthcare law funds will help set the stage for a partisan battle over spending. Some lawmakers fear that this could lead into a government shutdown. The reality is that the health care law has legitimate parts in it and some errors. What's needed to the make the law better and eliminate the bad portions of the law, so all Americans can have the opportunity to have quality, afforable, and universal health care. I don't follow extremists desiring no unemployment benefits, no health care reform, and no social services at all. This isn't the way to go. The way to go is rational thinking, concern for the public interest, and love for the common people.


Being focused on businesses and economics is fine. Yet, we need to be very careful not to embrace reactionary economic rhetoric (that was invented by the elite in order to keep the poor oppressed while maintianing the power of the rich elite). There is nothing wrong with being self sufficient. People should own land, electricity, and other resources to build communities, housing, educational systems, and build upon our standard of living in a succint fashion. Businesses can be fine if they are stirred for positive results and subsequent policies are utilized to fight against poverty, tyranny, & economic exploitation. Also, we should end the system of supremacy and harm to the Earth (like killing animals abitrarily, cutting down the rainforests, oil spills, wars, etc.). That is why that the poor (and especially people of color) should demand equal pay, equal represenation in companies, etc. This word is run by the globalists. They only allow certain people a level and then above that level European Black Nobility bloodlines (and the Western counterparts) reign supreme in geo-political power structure. This is why people wanted unions and other progressive changes to fight against the robber baron and evil elites in power. In order to have real justice, you have deal with the working class being explioted. The power structure ought to be fought against in order to give people economic justice. That is why advanced technology (there is the invention of an exoskeleton now), weapons, modern science & technology, finance, and spirituality can defeat evils in the world. A person has to do more than dance, play sports, and listen to music (nothing is wrong with these things though). A person has to think long term and fight for self-improvement. If not, then unions and decent wages will be the thing of the past. We need the social development of our socio-economic power. Some regulations are of course bad, but some regulations are good. You need some regulations to build up our economy. One example is that you need regulation to prevent water pollution, food poisoning, wage cuts in an unfair fashion, and stealing lands. It is important for us to not only give people fish, but teach people how to fish. For giving a man resources is only doing part of the solution. If you both give a man resources and teach a man how to create his own resources and power, then that can go a long way in developing some real power among human beings. More and more people are realizing that the establishment manipulated the Civil Rights Movement in order to solve some of the symptoms of racism without defeating the disease itself. In other words, the structure of racism wasn't truly attacked via radical economic development, but solely some social reforms (which I have no issue with). I don't believe that businesses ought to do what they want. I reject sweat shops, shoody goods, and undercuting price corruption techniques. Real power is for a person to own land, companies, and other infrastructure to benefit a person's own people (not just laws being changed to get rid of Jim Crow de jure segregration, which I have no issue with. That is why the issues of race and class must be fully discussed in order to make solutions. Some Progressives only talk about class, but you must talk about both race and class. That is why people like Dr. Claud Anderson is a dooer. He wrote a book about Powereconomics. He created the first Black think tank in America called the Harvest Institute and he's actually doing acts to help out his own people. In a sense, we must master economics and finance to improve our fate). So, it's a supremacist system that uses class oppression (since the real rich elite are very much imperialists, enslaver, and abusers spanning thousands of years) and other means to oppress the people. We have to reject feudalism.




Donald Rumsfeld lied agian about Iraq and the war on terror. ABC news reported on Diane Sawyer's recent interview with the former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. He claimed that the Bush administration (even Colin Powerll) truly believed that Iraq had weapons of mass destrcution at this time of his famous presentation to the United Nations in February of 2003. the truth is that people in the government knew that Iraq didn't have WMDs. Rumsfeld denied that he used 9/11 as an excuse to attack Iraq. Yet, 5 hours after 9/11 Rumsfeld wanted to hit Saddam. Tony Blair (or the former UK Prime Minsiter) admitted that Dick Cheney wanted to re draw the map after 9/11 in the region of the Middle East. This means that the West used 9/11 as an excuse to try to dominate the policies of the Middle East. They wanted control or even regime change in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Lebanon. al-Qaeda isn't even reduced now since the elite funded groups that created al-Qaeda in the first place. American reporter Gareth Porter admitted in the Asia times that 3 weeks after 9/11, former defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld wanted the military objective to remove Saddam Hussein from power by force. He wanted to overturn the regime in Iran, Syria, and 4 other countries in the Middle East. Douglas Feith published accoutns of the Iraq War decision. Feith's account proved that the neo cons wanted to remake the mpa of the Middle East with using military force (and the threat of force was supported explicity by the country's top military leaders). Feith book "War and Decision" document how Rumsfeld'sd to hit Saddam. Tony Blair (or the former UK Prime Minsiter) admitted that Dick Cheney wanted to re draw the map after 9/11 in the region of the Middle East. This means that the West used 9/11 as an excuse to try to dominate the policies of the Middle East. They wanted control or even regime change in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Lebanon. al-Qaeda isn't even reduced now since the elite funded groups that created al-Qaeda in the first place.

Feith's account proved that the neo cons wanted to remake the mpa of the Middle East with using military force (and the threat of force was supported explicity by the country's top military leaders). Feith book "War and Decision" document how Rumsfeld's paper was sent to then President George W. Bush in September 30, 2001. It called for the administration to focus on not taking down Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, but forming new regimes in a series of states. General Wesley Clark said that a friend told him that Rumsfeld (including deputy secretary Paul Wolfowtiz) wanted to take down Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Lebanon. This is found in Calrk's 2003 book called "Winning Modern Wars." The Defense Department guidance document wanted to weaken those states the West seen as threats beyond WMDs. Rumsfeld's paper was given to the White House only two weeks after Bush had approved a US military operation in Afghanistan directed against bin Laden and the Taliban regime. Despite that decision, Rumsfeld's proposal called explicitly for postponing indefinitely US airstrikes and the use of ground forces in support of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in order to try to catch bin Laden. Rumsfeld's paper wanted the U.S. to support Hezbollah and Hamas (being anti-Israel). The bombing of 2 U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998. Afterwards, al-Qaeda operatives were found to have done it. Michael Sheehan (or the State Department counter terrorism official) wanted the U.S. to support anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in Afghanistan against bin Laden's Taliban regime. U.S. senior military leaders refused to consider it according to a 2004 account by Richard H. Shultz Junior, a military specialist at Tufts University.  senior officer on the Joint Staff told State Department counter-terrorism director Sheehan he had heard terrorist strikes characterized more than once by colleagues as a "small price to pay for being a superpower." No wonder former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski told the Senate that the war on terror is "a mythical historical narrative." Lawrence Wilkerson accused the Cheney Rumsfeld cabal of hijacking U.S. foreign policy. Lawrence was the number 2 man at the State Department. Once, White House officials tried to link Hussein to 9/11 (when no evidence of this existed. There is no evidence of Iraq having strong collaborative ties with Al-Qaeda at all). Cheney's torture program was aimed at producing false confessions in an attempt to link Iraq and 9/11. Rumsfeld have influence in torture as well.


Some conservative view Ronald Reagan as a godlike figure by some conservatives. February 6th was the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan's birth. Tons of people know the truth about Reagan beyond the idol worship of the man as a political cult. Reagan died in 2004. His death was shown by the media for a week. Ronald Reagan's death should be given memorial since it's tragic to see any man die in the fashion that he died. Yet, we have the right to show dissent about a man too. Some want Reagan to be place in the dollar bill and on Mount Rushmore. President Barack Obama is a fan of Ronald Reagan, but doesn't agree with some of his policies. He said so during his 2008 presidential campaign, proclaiming that his foreign policy would be “somewhat like Ronald Reagan’s.” He called Reagan “transformational” and established the Ronald Reagan Centennial Commission so that we might all spend the next year waxing euphoric over the memory of the fortieth president of the United States. He was elected President in 1980 and 1984. Reagan's real legacy is known. He promoted states rights in Philadelphia, Mississippi when that was where 3 voting rights activists were kidnapped plus murdered. He was forced to make Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday a federal holiday. The Reagan Revolution helped to create the Bush Presidency, Gingrich's contract with America, and the Tea party movement itself. Reagan was wrong to use his President in dismantling government services to the public and have a hegemonic foreign policy. This legacy of income inequality, low taxes for the rich, and occupations in foreign lands owe it to the Reagan era. Reagan tried to destroy union when he fired the striking air traffic  controllers. Union bashing grew in the 1980's. He supported the reactionary death squads in the Central American nations of El Salvador and Nicaragua. Miguel D’Escoto was Nicaragua’s foreign minister when the Reagan administration did everything possible to destabilize that government. At the time of Reagan’s death in 2004, D’Escoto didn't compromise in exposing Reagan's wrong headed legacy. Reagan accepted the foolish Manifest Destiny lie that America has pretty much the God given right to control the world (and spread its ideas even by force). Reagan used his great oratory or communication skills as a means to promote his ideas even when some of his ideas were not aligned with real justice. Manifest Destiny have cuased the death of many human beings like Native Americans, Haitians, Grenada, and other nations. We don't need big lies to cause us to cheerlead for the establishment. We should be free to think independently and with a sense of dedication.




There is some good news in the world. Calgary city council voted 10 to 3 to remove fluoride from the city's drinking water. The 2 members of the council are Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Ald. Brian Pincott. They were out of town during Tuesday's vote. Earlier in the day, city council considered and rejected by a vote of 8-5 putting fluoride issue to a plebiscite during the 2013 muncipal election. The Council rejected the idea of referring the matter to an expert panel. The issue was controversial or a lightning rod for Calgarians. In the past, the public opinion was almost evenly split on the matter. In 1989, 53 percent of Calgarians voted in favor of adding fluoride. 2 years later, it was added. The savings will go to dental health. There was an all day public meeting late last month. The removal of the chemical was recommended to council by a city committee. Proponents of fluoride say it prevents tooth decay, especially in vulnerable groups such as the poor, children, and the elderly. Dr. Richard Musto is Calgary's medical officer of health. He said that he's disappointed with the council's decison. The decision does allow preventive therapy to young children. These savings are done to remove fluoride and improve dental health for children living in poverty. Ald. Druh Farrell, who led the anti-fluoride charge, said helping families who can't afford fluoridated toothpaste is a better idea than medicating the entire population. "It's not our responsibility, but what we've said is because we had this responsibility and because children in poverty are used as a reason to support fluoride, then let's really help those children," she said. Medical proof exists that fluoride is a neurotoxin that can damage teeth, bones, and the human immune system in high levels. The city should also save money with the move. The cost of adding fluoride to Calgary's water is about $750,000 per year. The city was also facing $6-million upgrades to the Bearspaw and Glenmore water-treatment plants needed for the fluoridation process in the near future. The timeline for the removal of fluoride is unclear as the city must apply to Alberta Environment to amend its water license. This is a great decision and alternative should be done in order improve tooth care in human beings too.










There are tons of other information about Mormonism too. Elder Isaac Russell was a prominent, early Mormon missionary to Great Britain in 1837. Captain Joseph H. Russell was an original investor in the Mormon Deseret Manufacturing Co. This was intended to be an umbrella company for many of the early Mormon enterprises. Sidney Rigdom promoted a commune system. He joined the Freemasons. He took Joseph Smith from being a so-called "prophet' without a church to a "prophet" with an organized church of 2 communes. Rigdon's congregations at Kirkland gave Joseph Smith the nucleus of his Mormon community. Horace Greeley (an editor of the daily New York Tribune) gave Joseph Smith some of his early publicity. William J. Schnoebelen was a Master Mason, an ex-Wiccan High Priest, etc. He is a born again Christian and said that the grips, oaths, prayers, garments, and the Mormon's Temple designs are copied from magic and Masonic (with occult significance as shown in his book called "Mormonism's Temple of Doom"). The Joseph Smith family has a Masonic dove medallion, a healing amulet, and other occult items. Joseph Smith was a known supporter of witchcraft and supernatural concepts. In the rituals of the 13th, 14th, and 21st degrees of Masonry the legend (derived from cabbalistic sources) is told of Enoch's gold plate. The resemblances to Joseph Smith, Jr.'s story about finding the gold plates is interesting. The stories are basically identical, which suggests Mormonism may have been founded from the beginning on a Masonic legend. Joseph Smith and his family used crystal-gazing. His ilk used scrying that was used by Nostradamus and Masonic Legend.
