    • More Elite Than Our Millitary?

      Posted by Villagenyc

      Why are United States taxpayers paying the private military and security firm Blackwater, $1,222 a day for the services of each of its single protective security specialist? By most estimates that amount is six times what it would cost for a U.S. soldier to perform the same duty.

    • Millions of toxic toys recalled: The nightmarish reality of global capitalism

      Posted by Sandyenglish

      The world’s largest toy maker, Mattel Corporation, announced August 14 that it was recalling nearly 19 million toys worldwide, half of them in the US, because of the dangers they pose to children. Some 436,000 toy cars made in China were withdrawn because they are covered in lead paint, while more than 18,000,000 other toys, also made in China, are being recalled because they contain small, powerful magnets that could do great damage if swallowed.

    Illegal Immigration Spurs Constitutional Amendment - Associated Content

    An art. V was tried in Sept. of 2004, and s.c.o.t.u.s. ruled it was ok for the congress to not allow it…so, the entire Congress was sued, and hired the Govt. to defend them..they again lost.

    However, it has now proved to be a criminal act ,in that they had basically admitted to it by defending themselves…...

    It appears now that there are a few new approaches to the Art. V , but not to many Attny’s are willing to stick their necks out fighting our own CROOKED govt.

    please read the article on WALKER vs theU.S….probably find it in google….

    US business in the dark on climate change

    I’m sure Canadian businesses aren’t far behind, though there’s an imbalance in the average created almost exclusively by the corporations making their living off exploiting the northern Alberta (Athabasca) Oil Sands – with virtually zero consideration for even the local biosphere or environment.

    For me, I will never forget his hateful comments about gays bringing on 9-11. This is pure hatred.
