todd h: real power is power attenuated. As I wrote to someone, in an email, last night, there is quite a bit of difference between isolationism and non-intervention. Isolationism is a buzz term that originated with The Military Industrial Complex.
Had America followed a true policy of non-intervention, then there would have been no mambsy pambsy when faced with fighting The Ottoman Empire, should it have come to that. Instead the chickhawks of France and Great Britain, doing the bidding of The House of Rothschild, goaded America into their game. The Treaty of Versailles has been biting the world in the arse ever since.
Should there ever become a bona fide war with Islam, then Mecca and Medina should cease to exist. The chickenhawks want war with the Muslims, but give Dubai and Saudi Arabia a free Teflon pass. Hmmmmmm
The DC handgun challenge before the Supreme Court is quite tricky. Under Section Eight - Powers of Congress:
"To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And"
The never-challenged tyrannical powers (by Jeffersonian definition) over the District are quite technically different than the rights enjoyed by the several states. The timing of this handgun challenge is suspicious to me.
barryinla: my dad was a carpenter and studied hard with college courses, at home, to advance his knowledge and skills. With my studies in horticulture and the need to understand agronomy (soils science), the need to have a proper lay of the foundation hole (if there was one) was a science way beyond merely digging. It was common to see foundations shift after a few years and ruin folks' dreams of their homes. The builders were usually long gone by then.
My dad taught me the principles of digging the footers for the foundation deep below the frost line and then some. Tiny bits of rock were then tapped down and watered and leveled. The footers themselves had to be unsettleable. Only then was the foundation put forth.
The area of The World Trade Center was built into solid bedrock. This was the major factor as to why the ammo-nitrate bombs in 1993 had the relatively minor damage.
SamIam: then again, some farmer may be testing out his brand new SAM and it accidentally brings one down. Oops!
SORRY, THIS IS THE DOVE BOARD
woofer: that's the problem: the link had a blueprint on the front page. That would automatically disqualify the organization as experts. Snick! Snick!
For the board's information, there are no real skill requirements to be a general contractor. The various states that issue licenses for such things are concerned about adherence to the Commercial Code (which they should be) and absence of a tainted record. You don't even have to know how to read blueprints if you have people working for you that do.
There was the standing joke among landscapers that their whole job was to cover up the mistakes of general contractors. Typically, in the bell curve, there are only 2% that really know what they are doing. I think I can safely say that our resident balloonist is not among that group.
skono4: seriously, you are full of hot air and certainly quite unlearned. Please move to Cuba and enjoy an advance sampling of your ivory tower state.
skono4: of course, the mass persuasion/brainwashing people have done their job so very well.
A bit of advice, if you will permit: stay away from the Kool-Aid.
VegasRage: how dare you insult hillbillies! Even Jethro could do better than this:
skono4: a very lame attempt at misdirecting the facts. A skilled crew could have done it all on two or three weekends. By coincidence, there were protracted power downs for sufficient amount of time to do the deed.
Actually, the odds are 1-100. You'd get a better return on a chalk to show at the racetrack.

JUST SAY NO TO TYRANNY.
joshl: if I correctly pick up on your tenor, you appear to be quite shocked. Things with foreign affairs and internal governments are seldom as they appear. I empathize with your personal concerns, especially since the points toward your thinking are rational. Let me start with this little anonymous quote:
"Dogs love their friends & bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love & hate."
There is a reason that Israel has been America's Number One Ally: The Jewish Lobby. Here's a rather short read to give quite accurate facts and then you decide. Please read all the way down, as the kicker comes last.

Then look at the history of The PNAC and think.
asus: the analogy demands a pimple on the end of the nose. A forehead pimple could be concealed with a comb over.
rover_az: excellent and Ron Paul was clearly on top. It also confirmed Dennis Kucinich as the top Democrat.
Look everybody, the market is about perception. I can't believe the current PPS and the weak volume to boot. It's rare for me to say this, but any entity that is in the black at this price is a very reasonable investment. I'm a trader, but I'm very tempted at these prices.
IxCimi: it's so important to educate folks what's at stake in this nation. The concept and the fight for liberty has to be so strong that the cause; the revolution would get more powerful should one get cut down.
basserdan: welcome, it's good to see yet another person, especially one apart from the core here, post that information.
skono4: your post is indicative of someone who is intellectually dishonest. If you leave now and fail to properly refute this viewpoint, I'll maintain this opinion of you. Oh, say it ain't so!
woofer: sorry to disappoint you, especially with you thinking you were on the very brink of an "I got you." Snick! Snick!
If the comma phrase "like woofer" was removed from the sentence, it would make sense and be accurate. By inserting the phrase, in commas, it modifies and clarifies.
ThatHawaiiGuy: nice points; I did email Feckless and explain a few things. I seriously doubt that my email will be read on air. LOL
Boycott all CNN sponsors, until he's gone (Feckless Beck).
Hi everyone. I just got here shortly after having a haircut. I admit that I was not properly equipped and will never let it happen again. Folks overheard my conversation with my barber. I only had five bumper stickers and seven wanted them after all was said. As I left, it dawned on me the low-cost method of handing out little slips with You Tube links.
skono4: anyone that could make such an uninformed and truly ignorant statement would automatically qualify he/she to be "anti-intellectual."
Now since I am on record with my personal belief and practice of advancing human potential and mind sciences, I can safely advance that you have assumed. Oh! Oh! Need I say more?
So now you have backpedaled and declared the essential framework that the experts that folks, like woofer, have put forth should not have their expertise questioned by you with some illogical reason.
BTW, the ten smartest people, in the world, probably sit on a mountaintop in Tibet entertaining pilgrims who come to hear the word of sages.
hdhick: could you please translate? Actually, this is the sort of thing for PMs. It takes the exact same effort to post a private message as a public one. Please do a clinical study, if you don't believe me.
skono4: part II, now how many of your best and brightest had an actual hand in any of these?

A very interesting analogy on someone's opinion of who's the best. For anyone not familiar with this duo, you're in for a treat. Please listen first and then scroll down the text comments.
bbotcs: yeppers, it all strange bedfellows.
I can only follow that with: Go, Ron Paul!
bbotcs: oh yeah, Hitlery, bought and paid for by Ruppert Murdoch. Check out this post for more fun.

skono4: that, in of itself, is highly faulty logic. Truth is truth and logic is logic. This tier system that you have in your mind about schools is straight out the secret societies’ playbook. These same "tier" schools, that you profess to elevate, are the same ones that have been criticized for decades for the brainwashing pap that comes out of them.
MIT and others have, for decades, been the recipients of massive monies for the sole purpose of running studies, such as: "Mass Persuasion; Brainwashing."
So forgive me, for not giving them the credibility that you esteem. But then I give none to Johnnies-come-lately, as yourself, who seem quite satisfied supporting tyrannical, statist government.
skono4: surprise, surprise, surprise ... group think becomes the relegated truth. Hmmm, now of those experts that spoke out, at first, how many of them still have their positions?
That which proves too much, proves too little.
Sorry for thinking that everyone had seen this:

Before too many folks here get too much discouragement, please consider the charting principle of unfilled gaps. It is not unusual to see an entity, after filling gaps, to make another strong run up.
Hitlery marches again ... err ... can we really say again? Now what does again mean? It's not a question that can be answered in 30 seconds.
Suit: News Corp. exec sought to protect Giuliani
Regan seeking $100 million for alleged smear campaign by News Corp.
By Russ Buettner
updated 12:40 a.m. ET, Wed., Nov. 14, 2007
Judith Regan, the book publisher who was fired by the News Corporation last year, asserts in a lawsuit filed today that a senior executive at the media conglomerate encouraged her to mislead federal investigators about her relationship with Bernard B. Kerik during his bid to become homeland security secretary in late 2004.
The lawsuit asserts that the News Corporation executive wanted to protect the presidential aspirations of former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Kerik’s mentor, who had appointed him New York City police commissioner and had recommended him for the federal post.
Ms. Regan makes the charge at the start of a 70-page filing that seeks $100 million in damages for what she says was a campaign to smear and discredit her by her bosses at HarperCollins and its parent company, the News Corporation, after her project to publish a book with O.J. Simpson was abandoned amid a storm of protest.
In the civil complaint filed in state court in Manhattan, Ms. Regan says the company has long sought to promote Mr. Giuliani’s ambitions. But the lawsuit does not elaborate on that charge, or identify the executive who she alleged pressured her to mislead investigators, nor does it offer details or evidence to back up her claim.
Ms. Regan had an affair with Mr. Kerik, who is married, beginning in the spring of 2001, when her imprint, Regan Books, began work on his memoir, “The Lost Son.” In December 2004, after the relationship had ended and shortly after Mr. Kerik’s homeland security nomination fell apart, newspapers reported that the two had carried on the affair at an apartment near Ground Zero that had been donated as a respite for rescue and recovery workers.
Mr. Kerik, who in 2004 said he withdrew his nomination because of problems with his hiring of a nanny, was indicted last week on federal tax fraud and other charges.
“Defendants were well aware that Regan had a personal relationship with Kerik,” the complaint says. “In fact, a senior executive in the News Corporation organization told Regan that he believed she had information about Kerik that, if disclosed, would harm Giuliani’s presidential campaign. This executive advised Regan to lie to, and to withhold information from, investigators concerning Kerik.”
Officials of the News Corporation were asked in a telephone call for comment on the lawsuit, but had yet to issue a statement.
Lawyer: She has evidence
One of Ms. Regan’s lawyers, Brian C. Kerr of the firm Dreier L.L.P., said she possesses evidence to support her claim that she was advised to lie to federal investigators who were vetting Mr. Kerik. But Mr. Kerr declined to discuss the nature of the evidence.
“We’re fully confident that the evidence will show that Judith Regan was the victim of a vicious smear campaign engineered by News Corp. and HarperCollins,” Mr. Kerr said.
The News Corporation controls a vast array of media outlets worldwide, including Twentieth Century Fox, the New York Post and the Fox News Channel, where Ms. Regan once hosted a talk show.
bartermania: the racism charge is the lie du jour lately in the constitutional battle to secure American borders. Whether it's Elliot Spitzer or these protestors, the created illusion that it's only, or even mainly, Mexicans that illegally cross into America is key to the false charge.
Within the realms of psychology, when one accuses one of something, that is false, it's usually because the accuser is guilty of the very the thing.
SamIam: your post reminds me of something that the late Marshall Peters would often orate. So for this board's edification, I'll share one of Marshall's favorite poems. Read carefully and you'll understand why.

bbotcs: Lewdy Rudy should be a registered Democrat, because that is what he is and you're hearing that from someone with no love for the Republicans. Lewdy Rudy has done Jack. It's all bluster, abetted by The ABTT Networks. He didn't even read The 9/11 Omissions Commission Report and yet had the ignorance to flap his jaw at Ron Paul. Lewdy Rudy had his reputation dragged across the floor over the next few days by Dr. No.
According to my meaning and usage of my siggy: "When in doubt, empty the clip," Ron Paul fits the bill. He recently stated that the feral gumit has the responsibility to provide for a common defense, according to The Constitution. Lewdy Rudy would continue the trend (given the opportunity) of depleting the military by corrupt accounting, exasperating The Reserves, missing recruiting numbers, etc., etc., etc..
Furthermore, he has never come clean about his statements, on live camera, on 9/11/01. I wouldn't trust him to take out my trash.
SamIam: very little in history and in the world today is as it appears to be. Iraq is important to the secret societies, because it represents their control of ancient Babylon, the cradle of the secret societies' secrets. These are some very sick people.
I was researching for a friend about Islam. I learned most of this stuff years ago. The last link severely contradicts materials that had been posted on IHub by others.
