Halloween Part III (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Edwin Sumcad)
Edwin A. Sumcad It is time for nuisance candidates to come home to roast for contributing their Halloween pranks in the most irritating and disgusting manner this coming 2016 presidential election. Point of reference is the 2008 U.S. presidential election when Barack Obama was elected president. I documented those annoying front liners diligently, hoping to roast them during the 2016 presidential election campaign in the most rib-tickling way possible that will make NBC's Last Comic Standing contestants delivering their funniest materials sound like a very depressed eulogy for the dead in the funeral parlor. The point of their relevance to this satirical expose is the fact that as a bothering distraction during the election campaign period, the annoyed public listening to their speeches that are so boring and forgettable nobody listens to, is an insult to the average American's intelligence. Their audience only consists of viewers and listeners addicted to television programs and radio broadcast 24-hours a day who trapped by their viewing and listening habit are at the same time catching a terrible headache. From the geopolitical sector, record shows that Ralph Nader is consistently on top of the list. A never-win scarecrow candidate [he scares the light of me], he keeps on trying to become president until the crow turns white, or until he stops to breathe, whichever comes first. Nader's Evangelical rivals are tough competitors too. I'll just pick Chuck Baldwin at random, a political pastor moonlighting as a radio host of Florida who is an everlasting presidential candidate for the handful members of the Constitution Party. Chuck always sends e-mails to his election campaign audience including me, trying to convince us that he was the hope of the fatherland once elected president. Then he asks for campaign money to make that happen. Claiming as a champion of morality, the thought of an evangelical candidate begging for money to secure himself in politics drops my jaw to the floor. I was in a state of shock, to say the least! I feared that in the eyes of the Lord what Chuck was doing was biblically objectionable, perhaps a sin worse than that moral debacle which offended God resulting in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by a rain of fire and brimstones. But the most eccentric of them all that mainstream Americans worry about and fear the most in the lineup of never-win everlasting presidential candidates was Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. He is a doctor of medicine turned politician-cum moralist, cum-economist, cum-self-proclaimed monetary expert, internationalist and constitutionalist who threatened to abolish the Federal Reserves, United Nations, taxation, and security check in the airport when he is elected president. He was always a presidential candidate since the first Pilgrim boat -- the Mayflower -- landed in Virginia, possibly at Cape Cod, not really literally but just to give you an idea how long ago that was when he started running for president. For the first time, I do not see Ron Paul in the current Republican nominee line-up for president but his son Rand Paul, a Senator from Kentucky had taken over. Judging from his stand in the Republican debate [in the polls, he hardly made it to the Podium] Sen. Paul is his son's father who will do exactly what Congressman Paul will do when elected president. Foremost among those Paulian programs of action are to defund the nation's national security program, abolish TSA and FDA, and declare into law the right to drink unpasteurized raw milk and eat uninspected milk products and farm produce as an absolute freedom of the individual. Can anybody show me a perennial non-electable presidential candidate more extremely exciting than the Congressman from Texas? Of course many viewers of the televised Republican debates to select the party's standard-bearer, including me believe that the possibility of any of the father and son getting elected president of the United States is less than that of a Chinaman's chance. The survival of their presidential ambition is nil if not zero. Anybody who swims naked the icy waters of the English channel during winter has a better chance of surviving. We can live in a ghost house and survive the haunting, but I doubt if any of us can survive Paul's America in a world without international order [no United Nations] in this Armageddon-threatening nuclear age; a new America without a central bank, without fiscal revenue, no national security, but with a lot of freedom to drink raw milk and die of Salmonella, E-Coli and Listeria, and also a lot of liberty and freedom to die in the hands of terrorists, local murderers, serial killers and bombers. Terrorists are free to terrorize. Ron Paul repeatedly argued in front of the television camera that 911 was the fault of America, not of Jihad terrorists that killed more than 6,000 innocent civilians in New York. But in the Philippines, every day is a Halloween Day of Corruption. My study shows that the Dark shadows of evil gather together and celebrate Halloween not just on October 31st but every day except on November 1st which is All Saints Day. The Undead rest on All Saints Day. Unlike in the United States, Filipinos don't have to wait from 4 to 5 days following October 31st before the final 10-second- bell of Election Day rings to get the shock of their life. The horror of corruption has been legalized. The multi-billion-dollar DAP-PDAF heist of public funds [Assistance Development Programs and Priority Development Assistance Fund] is a recently discovered scandal of yet unimaginable proportion and incomparable magnitude. The modus operandi was part of the General Appropriation Act [GAA] Congress passed into law. It attracted international attention only when the Philippine Supreme Court declared DAP-PDAF unconstitutional. Several Senators and Congressmen and their civilian accomplices are now facing charges of corruption. It is reported that the discovery of this new strain of corruption is just the tip of the iceberg. The trail of the continuing investigation is said to be leading directly to President Benigno Aquino III whose term of office expires in 2016. Records show that for obvious reasons presidents are charged of plunder only when they leave Malacanang Palace, the Philippines' equivalent of White House in the United States. As president, President Aquino himself has under the GAA a 'P1.3 trillion' pork barrel. [2] In comparison, the staggering amount makes the pork barrels of politicians in Congress combined -- some of them are now charged in court of plunder -- only look like peanuts. But what is more horrifying than this little drop in the bucket is that majority of Filipinos is not aware or if they are, does not accept the fact they have elected to office a pork-barrel-president! And what might be described as a gigantic tsunami of corruption is yet to come. The eyes and ears of international observers are on the P399 billion infrastructure projects that the Aquino administration had proposed for the year 2014. Published reports indicated this will rise to P820 billion [approximately 5% of the GDP] by the year 2016. [3] That's when the guillotine drops right on the neck and separates the head from the body -- actually, the separation of a dead brain from a rotten heart. Indeed, this metaphor sounds so bloody, but in my roast menu, it is so Halloween! In the Philippines, EDSA I and II people power revolutions erstwhile described as the 'power of the mob' is power that changed power. With this 'power of the mob' President Marcos and President Estrada were kicked out of office in a trail of blood. In comparison, U.S. political Halloween is David to the Philippines' Goliath. It is so nerve-wracking to think about it. That's because the bloody Hail Mary [EDSA III] is just around the corner. #

9/11 and Global Warming: Are They Both False Conspiracy Theories? (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by David Griffin)
This essay is addressed to members of the 9/11 Truth Movement, who believe that 9/11 attack was a false-flag operation, orchestrated by the Bush-Cheney administration so as to appear to be an attack by Muslims. Some members of this movement believe that, given the way in which people have been deceived by the official account of 9/11, we should suspect global warming theory is another false conspiracy theory. I argue that the conclusion that the official account of 9/11 is false provides no reason to suspect global warming theory to being another hoax. Written to challenge a view of some members of the 9/11 Truth Movement, this essay makes no effort to evaluate this movement's beliefs.
Traitor to My Race: The Abolition of White Privilege -- a Series in Three Parts (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Jack Carney)
This series is comprised of three articles which trace the origins of white supremacy and white privilege, their evolution since the American Revolution, and the lifelong personal transformation of the author into an opponent of white supremacy and privilege and an advocate for their abolition. The latter is advanced throughout the series as a fraught proposition since abolition involves the disavowal by white Americans of a belief in white supremacy key to their self-identity. Rejection of white supremacy and privilege and acceptance of the harm they've done to white as well as black Americans will entail a requisite commitment by white Americans to engage in a course of self-education similar to that outlined by the author. Only then might white Americans recognize that abolition, however costly, will be equally beneficial to both. The series concludes with exhortations by Martin Luther King and Joe Hill to adherents of abolition to take action and organize. References pertinent to all three articles are to be found appended to the last.

The West Is Manufacturing Fifth Wave of Terrorism (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Hassan Horri)
In honor to the victims of the terror, that originated at the offices of Charlie Hebdo and wrecked with 17 dead, Paris hosted the biggest rally in French history, led by dozens of world leaders walking arm-in-arm. On Sunday, January 11, about 3.7 million people took to the streets nationwide, alongside the representatives of around 50 countries. In fact the WEST responded with revulsion to the lethal assault on the satirical journal. So did any levelheaded human beings. The new 'freedom of expression,' with a leading storyline from the horrific massacre at the magazine offices is translated as an attack at the very foundation of freedom. The West seeing their own values personified in the 'free speech' endorsed the culture of Charlie Hebdo's disrespect, sadist and spoof to fight Islamic radicalism. In all the official statements made in Paris, Washington, London, Rome, Melbourne, Brussels and Bonn the attack on the Charlie Hebdo is subjugated as a challenge to the 'freedom of the press' and the unalienable right of media in a civilized society. It looks that the new tendency, (chants, hypocrisy, free speech, anti Islam and double standard policies) of the West paves the way for the manufacturing of the fifth wave of terrorism which is born, grown and educated in the western homes. According to Professor David Rapoport there are four known waves in the modern history of terrorism, namely, the anarchists (1880s), anti-colonials (1920s), the left (red) wave (1960s) and finally, the religious wave of late (1970s).
