Did you read this most important news item which is that the American congress had made the decision on Thursday June 26/2008, to drop the "terrorist" label off the name of the most important world hero of struggle for freedom and justice, the past president of the Republic of South Africa, Mr. Nelson Mandela? This means, of course, that for almost half a century the National African Congress and (…)

As far back as 1848, the employers opposed the reduction of the work day from 14 to 12 hours because “it would trigger a series of bankruptcies.”
June 1936. The bosses are in a panic. The work week has fallen to 40 hours. The metal trades bosses thunder against the “law instituting laziness” : “Our companies are lost. How is the nation to recover if our workers, who are used to piece-work and are proud to do it, work half as much ? France is headed for disaster. And (…)

“Which forces are in control, the public or shadow powers?” Peter Dale Scott, author, essayist and poet.
What made John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) such a threat to the “Shadow Government” that he had to be murdered? To begin with, he was an “American” in the finest sense of that word; a student of history and of the classics; and a lover of the Republic. JFK represented the best of the post-WWII generation. He put the U.S. first in all things, particularly in the area of foreign policy. (…)

Barack Obama’s 300 Spartans (Advisors)?
It seems that you claim to be truthful and advocate CHANGE, and yet you enlist 300 soldiers, (advisors) to give advice on "as the world turns", is quite alarming. If you sir, need 300 paid advisors to help you make a decision then you have not done your homework. You have managed to create your own independent congress of people that are burning thru your $5.00 internet donations like sand thru an hour glass. It alarms me that if THEY decide to (…)

"I used to rule the world, sea’s would rise when I gave the word
Now I sweep alone, sweep the streets I used to own" -Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
The US can relate to that. Its only a matter of months till the economy has a total meltdown, The Wallstreet Journal shows this in its articles everyday. There is still hope yet.

Is Barack Obama a True Leader or Follower?
The irony of your thousands of blogs on your website is the fact that only a select few will ever be directly seen by you, and a bit more by your cast.
A leader of men and women is an important role to play, especially when lives are at stake. Your decisions will directly effect millions of innocent people not only in America, but around the world if you are allowed to be the President of the United States of America.
A true leader always (…)

An Open Letter to Barack Obama from the American Republic
It is very important that you think about what I am going write.
I realize that it will be a sacrifice of your campaign and for your sponsors for you to tell the truth. That in itself would finish your attempt to be elected as the President of the United States of America. Its unfortunate that in politics you must slide the truth in order to win favor by business interests , political advocates, well financed families and then (…)
