- BAE: the scandal that won't go away
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The US Department of Justice is about to launch a criminal probe into the world's fourth largest arms dealer, BAE, over its corrupt dealings with Saudi Arabia. Bad for BAE, which is trying to make the Pentagon its biggest customer, and bad for Gordon Brown who takes over from Tony Blair as British PM.

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.
