Few would have done this if they knew what would happen. The Jewish holocaust involved the death of at least 6 million people. Many other human-forced atrocities occurred, but the one occurring now is more heinous that normal. People in America actually voted for the people who instigated this silent death of almost 50 million to date.

The slight majority of American citizens voted for an administration that has approved the killing of almost 50 million citizens since 1973. That was when Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal. But even more heinous is when a particular population piece is targeted. Get the real story in "Maafa 21: Black Genocide in 21st Century America" on how the abortion industry targets blacks.

This film reveals that of the 50 million babies killed since Roe, 17 million were Black. With its origins from the eugenics movement, the film shows how the specific culprit in America (Planned Parenthood) targets Blacks and other groups they regard as inferior.

Since Roe (1973), this genocide has killed more Blacks than cancer, heart disease, AIDs, and gang violence combined. Every week, more Blacks are killed in “abortuaries” than died in the entire Vietnam War. Every 4 days, more Blacks are exterminated by abortion than the KKK has lynched in the last 150 years.

Discussions with Rev. Clenard Childress Jr. [BlackGenocide.org] revealed that 35% of almost 4500 abortions daily in the U.S. are done on Black children. But Black Americans constitute only 13.5% of the population, and 52% of all Black pregnancies result in abortion.

The documentary above documents how Planned Parenthood and other groups are using abortion and contraception to reduce the Black population in a slow but deliberate genocide. Evidently, some civil rights leaders gave a clear warning in the 1960’s that population control and abortion were tools of Black genocide. Almost as many black babies are aborted, as born alive.

In Heartbeat of Miami: eNewsletter, Martha Avila (President) said Miami-Dade County has one of the highest abortion rates in the country.  She said the county has more than 37 abortion facilities in predominantly Black and Hispanic communities such as Little Haiti, Little Havana and Hialeah.

But the really unfortunate news per [Gospel_of_Life_Ministries@xmr3.com] is approximately 78% of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods.

One can easily make several conclusions from this information:

a)      Obama knows about PP’s activities, and something much more sinister is occurring

b)      YouTube - Barack Obama Addresses Planned Parenthood

c)      Obama’s connection to PP and abortion are truly ominous

d)      All those voting with Obama (mainly Democrats) fall into this category

e)      Blackness aside, Obama knows PP will curb population and approves of genocide and eugenics as a means to curb growth of the Black race

f)        The Reality Check » Blog Archive » Population Control for Non-Thinkers is an excellent resource for population in 40 years

g)      most of those voting Democrat have no idea what has evolved with this party

h)      If every Black elected official, Black journalist, professor at every Black college, and Black pastor saw this documentary, there would be an unprecedented upheaval in this country

The word "maafa" (pronounced mah - AH - fa) is Swahili and means "disaster" or "great tragedy."  It is used to describe particularly terrible events like slavery. Blacks are probably familiar with it.

As some have stated after seeing Maafa 21, abortion on demand was never about ‘freedom of choice’. It was about population control, in quantity and quality. From another, “…we’ve found the Weapon of Mass Destruction, and it’s the suction machine at Planned Parenthood.”

Perhaps Human Life International’s Research Director, Brian Clowes, put it more succinctly: “The most dangerous place for an African-American baby is in the womb of its African-American mother.”

One would hope racism is a thing of the past. It hasn’t been totally wiped out, but something even more dangerous has taken its place. It’s ‘false racism’, or calumny.

Racism is a horrid a sin. But false accusations of racism at someone who is not racist at all, is typical of one who uses calumny, or injuring another person’s good name by lying.

Why has this been so prevalent? The accusation still seems to work. Everyone has been so paranoid about being racist, even a false accusation tends to taint the person accused.

Cases in point, where calumny has raised its ugly head recently:

A) Obama’s friend, the scholar Henry Louis Gates, was arrested by a white Cambridge police officer (Sgt. James Crowley), and President Obama immediately drew the most sinister interpretation of any police officer’s motive [profiling], and did not let the facts speak for themselves. Obama quickly sidestepped, and promptly requested Crowley join him at the White House for the much ballyhooed ‘beer summit’.

Crowley was selected by a black police lieutenant to teach fellow officers about racial profiling, which he has been doing for five years. The most comprehensive study of racial profiling in the U.S., is Are Cops Racist? | by Heather Mac Donald. She analyzed data obtained to date, and shows how the issue of profiling has long been seriously distorted.  

B) Rush Limbaugh was not allowed to partially purchase a team in the NFL because the owners though he was too divisive for the league. Never mind that the league is over 65% black, and that Limbaugh’s immediate sidekick on the show [Bo Snerdley] is also black. Their main concern was comments about Donovan McNabb [QB/ Eagles] being overrated. Statistics proved that to be the case, but because McNabb was black, it had to be ‘racist’.

Even in Pennsylvania this hypocrisy in Rush was right about Donovan McNabb. - By Allen Barra - Slate Magazine was outlined. Limbaugh did not say anything remotely racist, or even insensitive. ESPN hired Limbaugh to give his opinions about football. He did exactly that, and got fired for it.

C) Columnist Leonard Pitts in Searching for a reason to rally around Rush Limbaugh | Leonard ...calls Limbaugh an “OxyContin” junkie, and claims as a married man Limbaugh will have babes on each arm in a luxury box at football games. He insinuates that Limbaugh is an inherent ‘racist’, and he has gotten what he deserves. Limbaugh realized OxyContin was taking control, and put himself into a hospital to free his slavery. In Pitts’ disastrous attempt to paint Limbaugh as a ‘racist’, he greatly demeaned himself with his false racial statements.

D) The racist rants of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. How many well-meaning folk were hurt by his diatribes and calls for racial division?

E) Jesse Jackson Says Black Men 'Can't Vote Against Healthcare ... . How obvious does prejudice towards anyone white get? How many have been impugned by that logic?

Many more instances can be listed. Nina May : Democrats Have Kept Racism Alive - Townhall.com reiterates the following points. The Emancipation Proclamation; the 13^th, 14^th, and 15^th Amendments to the Constitution; and most civil rights laws were all brought forth and passed by Republicans.

Many whites and politicians changed parties to Republican because they understood that Blacks were Americans too, and should be afforded every American right. Calumny was not an option for them.

Most probably don’t realize Democrats started the “KKK” in 1866. That Democrat Bull Connor turned dogs and fire hoses on civil rights demonstrators, that Democrat Lester Maddox prevented blacks from patronizing his restaurant, and that Democrat George Wallace was the one yelling “segregation forever”.  Good examples of actual racism, versus calumny.

Why don’t people remember MLK Sr. and MLK Jr. were both Republicans?

On 12/10/04 the Democrat party admitted racism for the last 150 years, based on their ‘Jim Crow’ laws and ‘Black Codes’. But the decision was thrown out on a technicality. Why do Democrats still accuse other parties of racism?

Fortunately, race is no longer the problem that it once was. However, that doesn't mean there are not white and black bigots, and that every remnant of racial discrimination has been eliminated.

Thank heavens most people reading this who are directly involved with “false racism” will mend their ways. America will be a thriving metropolis of many colors. Please tell me that’s no ‘pipe-dream’.

Speaking as someone from the South, there are only a few things worse than actual racism. Calumny is one.

People who are afraid of overpopulation seem to be very short-term thinkers. Come 2050 (40 years from now) it will be too late. Population will top out, and will begin to fall. By then, we will be scratching our heads and wondering how it all came to this.

If one looks at population articles by Jonathan Last, one can see where population is headed. Fertility rates have dropped by over 50% worldwide in less than 40 years. Just to replace existing population, the average woman has to have 2.1 children.

One can view the current fertility rate from the CIA world factbook — Country Comparison :: Total fertility rate. As can be seen, already 59 nations (44% of the world population) are seeing less than 2.1, which is the needed replacement for any population. Historically, no culture has ever reversed a 1.9 replacement rate. Because it would theoretically take 80-100 years to reverse a rate of 1.3, it is considered impossible.

In 1970, the average woman had 6 children during her lifetime. Today that global average is only 2.9. Even the United Nations Population Division (UNPD) predicts a further decline to 2.05 by 2050, which is when the total world population would start to decline.

Walter Radermacher (VP of Germany’s Federal Statistical Office) has already admitted his country's inability to reverse its 1.41 replacement rate. This is documented in the above link.

The United Nations has revised its population forecast for 2050. The U.N., which has espoused the overpopulation theory for years, now seem to realize what will happen if nothing is done to stop the drop. But it will be far too late if we wait for the full realization in 2050. Practices such as abortion, sterilization, contraception, “abortifacient” devices, and China’s one child policy have all had a significant effect on the world’s actual fertility rate. Pregnancy is quickly becoming an advantage of the past.

Items such as AIDS, the elimination of DDT (millions get malaria because mosquitoes are not killed), and rescinding the right to bear children all directly affect procreation. And they’re all direct results of human decisions.

Once population decline begins, it will accelerate. Strong evidence shows the most successful and educated in society are reproducing at the slowest rate. The global fertility rate is only half that of 1972. The Empty Cradle (Phillip Longman) describes how population growth is necessary for economic growth. Herein lays the sobering part.

In actuality, seniors are living much longer now than they used to. Together with the recent fertility drops, the ratio of workers to retirees is changing.  In 1950 there were 16 American workers for every retiree. There were only three in 2005. The rest of the world is seeing the same increase in the percentage of seniors in each country’s population.

If the world continues to reduce its rate of having children, fewer young will be there to take care of the elderly. The entitlement programs in the U.S. (i.e., Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid) are quickly approaching bankruptcy. What cost reductions and expendability procedures will take place? Who will care for the elderly as they age?

As people grow older their ability to procreate decreases. Hence a larger older population means fewer baby-making opportunities. As a result, there’s a more quickly declining population.

With the approaching record federal deficit, and the increased healthcare expenses needed for seniors in the last 25% of their lifespans, at what point are they deemed expendable? From these and other factors, it seems likely the accelerated population decrease may lapse into a population freefall. 

One of two scenarios would appear to result from the above picture. 1) The Muslim population, with a high 7.34 fertility rate, dominates and eventually takes over the world, or 2) the world as we know it ceases to exist in a few hundred years.

Certainly, we can open our eyes and look where existing population numbers are taking us. The overpopulation radicals are short-sighted enough not to worry about what happens in 2050. After all, that’s 40 years out.

Amazing how many think that God said [Genesis 1:28] “Be fruitful and multiply.” Actually He didn’t. He said “Be fertile, and multiply.” But so many just decide to just “spit in His eye.”

One may wonder how they’ll make out in the near future.

Because mosquitoes were almost nonexistent with the use of DDT in places like Africa, elimination of DDT brought mosquitoes back — in force. The 1972 ban of DDT in the U.S. did not help matters at all. Now, many less effective and more costly methods are used — netting, other chemicals, you name it. But from the "Malaria Clock" listed in the following paragraphs, one gets an idea of exactly how many deaths have occured, especially from malaria.

But who ever heard a book causing the death of millions? Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was the driving force behind eliminating DDT throughout the world. Her fraudulent claims of bird egg thinning, and widespread declines in bird populations have all been thoroughly debunked by numerous studies.

Many need to read Junkscience.com's 100 things you should know about DDT to fully understand DDT history. The Malaria Clock totals up malaria deaths of more than 90 million to date, with almost 15 billion cases where malaria has caused immense suffering and poverty. 

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) was first produced by Dr. Paul Mueller in 1939. He found that DDT quickly killed flies, walking sticks, potato beetles, aphids, and especially mosquitoes. After several unprecedented successes, including in 1943 when the U.S. Army used DDT on its soldiers to kill body, head, and crab lice, for his work with DDT Muller won the Nobel Prize in 1948. 

Gas chromatography was universally used in pesticide analysis in the 1960s. Often, it failed to differentiate between DDT and other chemicals. DDT has been mistaken for other organochlorides routinely in the methods used about the same time Silent Spring came out.

Others have mistakenly claimed that some mosquitoes have become resistant to DDT, but forget about its repellency. The continued efficacy of DDT in Africa, India, Brazil, and Mexico — where 69% where all reported cases of malaria now occur — shows that repellency is very important in preventing indoor transmission of malaria.

Carson should have stuck around long enough to see how the mosquito population has drastically increased over the last 30 years.

Today, the evolving door of science is determining that some man-made chemicals are more toxic than thought. Thalidomide, used by some pregnant women to prevent morning sickness, was found to cause severe birth defects. Aspartame, an existing artificial sweetener, has been found to produce symptoms of MS in healthy individuals.

However, Alar (daminozide) used extensively in the 60-80’s, was sprayed on fruit (mainly apples) to regulate their growth and enhance their color. The EPA decided to ban Alar altogether because of carcinogenicity concerns. It turns out lab tests have shown over 5000 gallons per day of apple juice must be consumed before any tumors could develop, and drinking less that 100 gallons of water in one day could cause death.

Unfortunately, DDT has been put in the same category as the first two truly toxic materials. In frequently asked questions on DDT use for disease vector control, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides some very salient points for use of DDT. Senator Tom Coburn’s plea to the European Union on DDT is so well described in Environmentalism, Human Health, Africa. It also depicts how nicotine breathed in from common cigarettes is 100 times more toxic than DDT.

John Berlau (Research Fellow, Competitive Enterprise Institute) says, “Not a single study linking DDT exposure to human toxicity has ever been reported.”

In Paul Driessen’s column in Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, he writes about how DDT expert Dr. Gordon Edwards used to eat a spoonful of DDT whenever he gave a lecture about it.

Driessen also confirms how the EPA head William Ruckelshaus had never attended a single day’s session in seven months of EPA hearings on the use of DDT, and who admittedly had not even read the transcript, banned it for virtually all uses.

After seven months of testimony, EPA Administrative Law Judge Edmund Sweeney stated “DDT is not carcinogenic to man…The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT.”

What’s worse is there is a contingent of people who are OK with the loss of life in developing countries without DDT because of fears of world overpopulation. Shocking as it sounds many believe third-world populations are third class citizens anyway. They believe fewer numbers of them will only aid the perceived problem of world overpopulation. They are the ones who put differing values on life.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) has taken a bad rap as of late. But, is it justified knowing all the other hazardous chemicals used much more often? In the writer’s immediate area--1 mile from a CTS electroplating site—which was shut down in 1986 (23 years ago). It has been labeled a Superfund RCRA Site due to trichloroethylene groundwater contamination. Maybe our houses should be labeled Superfund Sites as well.

Most chemical sites receive the Superfund label if they have disposed of hazardous chemicals improperly. Those chemicals are also flammable, toxic, or corrosive. But if one takes a normal hairspray that usually contains dimethyl ether (DME) as a propellant, one must think about the typical breathing amounts inhaled.

A typical dose of DME usually exceeds breathing at least 500 parts per million (ppm) for the person applying the hairspray—that’s 0.05 volume % for a short period of time. The Material Safety Data Sheet reveals that for a mouse, the lethal concentration for a 15 minute interval with DME is 386ppm. We also know the flash point of DME to be minus 41oC—the temperature at which it will ignite by having a small flame available. We just have to remember never to hairspray for longer than 15 minutes, or to have a small flame in the room.

Other typically used items around the house include gasoline, butane, paint thinner, other aerosols, antifreeze, pesticides, wood preservatives, mercury (lights, paint), spot remover, cyanide compounds (rat fumigants), ant traps, old fire extinguishers, pool chemicals, oven cleaners, battery acid…you name it. All either are flammable, toxic, corrosive, or a combination thereof. But there has yet a household to be labeled a Superfund Site.

Because TCE is listed on its MSDS as ‘reasonably anticipated to be a possible human carcinogen’, millions worried about carcinogenicity, and cancer flags were immediately raised. People living nearby the CTS site became scared for their lives. At a neighborhood meeting at the local fire station on 1/31/08, one fellow even claimed that TCE was responsible for 8 cancer occurrences in his family who lived within a mile of the CTS site.

Because TCE is relatively pervasive in the environment, many people are likely to become exposed by simply breathing, eating, and drinking. Inhalation is the main route of potential exposure, so various people were checked for TCE background levels. But no one tested showed any increase or accumulation of TCE.

EPA’s Contract Laboratory Program Statistical Database reports that TCE supposedly occurs in 3% of surface water samples at an average level of 40.2 ppb, and in 19% of groundwater samples at a concentration of 27.3 ppb. Both are much higher than the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL).

Locally, with the existing CTS electroplating site, the EPA sampled 66 wells within 1 mile of the CTS site. Only one well exceeded the MCL in that area. The MCL for TCE has been set at 5ppb in 1985, so it was made 2,000 times higher. The media always reports the new MCL, so a few analyses show up as wildly high.

The carcinogenicity of TCE was first evaluated in laboratory animals in 1970. TCE actually but had been used in inhalers 40 years ago as a gas anesthetic with favorable analgesic properties (1% vapor/ 10,000 ppm). Because of these properties, Trilene (TCE) inhalers were frequently used, especially by those about to give birth.

Millions of people have breathed high concentrations of TCE. So far, no human is known to have gotten cancer from TCE. One recent review of the epidemiology of kidney cancer rated cigarette smoking and obesity as more important risk factors for kidney cancer than exposure to solvents such as trichloroethylene.

It seems in the MSDS stating “reasonably anticipated to be a possible human carcinogen”, anticipated could be defined as “expected, but never happened”, and possible could mean “in all the millions of cases of high exposure, we haven’t seen anything yet”.

Several things we should all remember: 1) the concentration of ppm is 1000x more concentrated than ppb, and 2) drinking 10 liters of water over a course of a few minutes has resulted in death.

Other than that, just don’t have your wife spray her hair in a closed room, or while smoking a lit cigarette. TCE is probably dangerous in some way. We know it’s not flammable, radioactive, carcinogenic, toxic, or corrosive. It probably could be listed as #1862 on the ‘most dangerous chemical list’. But where would water be on that list?

Yet someone had the wherewithal to put it on a Superfund Site list and have the government (a.k.a., taxpayer) pay over $15 million to clean up a plant that really poses no risk.

Go figure…

Thought to be the demonic cause of anthropogenic global warming, CO2 has literally been taking all the heat lately. With CO2 concentrations pushing the 400 ppm range as of late, manmade global warmers believe they have the perfect scapegoat for dreaded global warming. If they’re wrong, then the earth won’t fry, there won’t be incredulous risings of the sea and torrential floods, and life on earth will not come to a screeching halt.

Christopher Monckton (Brenchley) has written "Climate Sensitivity Reconsidered", which explains CO2 concentrations over the last 6 million years. As a member of the IPCC and APS (American Physical Society), Monckton puts CO2 concentration and temperature on the same scale which few have been able to do. The chart can be found as Figure #7 three quarters into his article, called Fluctuating CO2 But Stable Temperature for 600m Years.

In Correlation Falsification: The Missing Global Warming - CO2 Link ..., Noel Sheppard illustrates how CO2 is ~380 ppm (parts per million) now, and how it has never affected temperatures in the recent Past.

Monckton illuminates how CO2 has fallen and risen many times in the past. From ice core samples, it was determined the Late Ordovician Period of the Paleozoic Era was also an Ice Age, while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher (4400 ppm) than today. The Ordovician Period was the 6^th of seven periods in the Paleozoic Era. The 7^th period was the Cambrian

Even in the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era, CO2 was found to be ~7000 ppm (18x higher than today). No anthropogenic global warming was reported. And global warming that did take place went the way of natural sun perturbations, without any human interference. There has been some global warming on several of the planets that have been measurable, but no CO2 producers were caught emitting CO2.

But as CO2 levels have increased in very recent times, so has agricultural productivity and yield. In fact, the world now produces more food on less land than ever before. This can be seen directly from graphs on the USDA Economic Research Service [The 20th Century Transformation of U.S. Agriculture and Farm Policy].

National Geographic specifically highlights this in other countries around the world [Cheap Food — National Geographic Magazine]. General food security for the world is reiterated in Green Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

With CO2, chlorophyll, and sunlight all plants and crops create photosynthesis, or make “plant food”. Quite simply, the more CO2 that exists, the easier the photosynthesis reaction can take place, and the more crops and vegetation grows and produces.

Climate Depot [Rising CO2 a Boon for Biosphere – Earth in 'CO2 Famine' – Cutting ... explains just how CO2 is the best thing the earth could’ve hoped for. Fittingly wheat growers, [U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Minority Page] have decided to reverse course on their cap-and-trade support, mainly because of the beneficial affects of CO2.

In fact, it has been determined in Climate myths: Ice cores show CO2 increases lag behind temperature ... , the total falsehood of claiming temperatures are the result of increasing CO2 concentration. His facts have been proven many times concerning the CO2 increases that existed, which always followed a high temperature. It sometimes lagged temperature by as much as 800 years. But the temperature increase never follows a CO2 increase.

Joe D’Aleo of ICECAP explains how the CO2 has been totally uncorrelated with temperature over the last decade. This is true when the oceans likely play a key role emitting CO2 when they warm as carbonated beverages lose carbonation when they warm, but absorb it when they cool.

It need not be discussed how solar activity always changes in 11 year cycles, or how UV radiation increases much more than brightness which causes increased ozone which directly affects climate, or how sunspots affect cosmic ray production which directly affects cloud formation which directly affects climate.

It also should not be discussed how the sun is a variable star by 0.5%, that goes through cycles sometimes more than 100 years, that the oceans go through multidecadal cycles every 60-70 years which directly affect natural variations in Arctic and Antarctic ice cover, hurricanes, and thus overall weather.

It seems like the Intelligent Designer had all those affects in mind when He made CO2 necessary for plant life, which is necessary for animal life, which is necessary for human life. What an intricate biosystem. And some believe this happened by chance?

First, they closed Abu Ghraib (Iraq) in 8/06. Then they decided to “Mirandize” any terrorist prisoners. Then they decided that because of the Abu Ghraib and like scandals, many of the terrorist prisoners should be released. Then they decided that every terrorist prisoner should be afforded all those rights that American citizens now get if they’re apprehended.

Some believe we most likely will never have any terrorist problems again…

According to the AP in http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_prosecuting_terror, the % of terrorism cases that federal prosecutors have declined to pursue has recently grown from 31 to 73%. Many terrorists go free because the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) claims they don’t have enough evidence to convict, and we are violating their civil rights. They seem to forget it was these terrorists responsible for the 3000 deaths on 9/11.

AP reports that almost 6000 of almost 8900 terrorism cases between 2004 and 2008 were closed with no action. According to the data, the cases brought by investigators were often based on weak or insufficient admissible evidence, lacked criminal intent, or did not constitute a criminal offense.

What is considered admissible in a foreign country? How does one know if a terrorist is simply constructing a bomb, or something else? What if a suspected terrorist simply has blood on his sword, but is not caught in any act of slaughter?

Firsthand information from troops in Baghdad revealed during the worst fighting by terrorists right after the fall of Hussein, troops were asked to risk their lives—again. They were forced to bus suspected terrorists out of Abu Ghraib, and let them out free on the populace.

So many forget when Bush stated that after 9/11, that if you weren’t against all terrorist activities, you were with them. Terrorist activities such as physical torture, hacking someone to death with swords, forcing a detainee to utter false words on television then slitting his neck, and actively pursuing the attainment of weapons of mass destruction for multiple kills, did not seem to occur at Abu Ghraib.

Sure, atrocities such as physical embarrassment occurred at some prisons for terrorists, and that should be halted. But terrorists are NOT American citizens. They do NOT have American rights. They will kill to achieve their objectives. They do NOT have “Miranda” rights. If they’re involved with terrorists in any way, they likely are terrorists.

It can be deduced that at least 50% of the terrorists that have been loosed on the general populace will be out there again—killing when it suits their purpose. That means many American troops, as well as Iraqis, have already died due to votes for Democrats--in power, and dictating all legislation. They control how many terrorists are circulating in the population, and yes, how many more American soldiers will die because of incredibly poor decisions by the current administration.

The author honors all those soldiers who have died and been injured by terrorist actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. America has seen no further terrorist-committed deaths on American soil since 9/11, and the blood of those American soldiers will always be remembered.

Terrorists know there are really no rules for terrorists, as long as they get what they want. Some citizens wanted change this last election. Well they got it. For some of them, their child, wife, or husband won’t be coming home for dinner anymore…

So many forget when Bush stated that after 9/11, that if you weren’t against all terrorist activities, you were with them. Terrorist activities such as physical torture, hacking someone to death with swords, forcing a detainee to utter false words on television then slitting his neck, and actively pursuing the attainment of weapons of mass destruction for multiple kills, did not seem to occur at Abu Ghraib.

Sure, atrocities such as physical embarrassment occurred at some prisons for terrorists, and that should be halted. But terrorists are NOT American citizens. They do NOT have American rights. They will kill to achieve their objectives. They do NOT have “Miranda” rights. If they’re involved with terrorists in any way, they likely are terrorists.

It can be deduced that at least 50% of the terrorists that have been loosed on the general populace will be out there again—killing when it suits their purpose. That means many American troops, as well as Iraqis, have already died due to votes for Democrats--in power, and dictating all legislation. They control how many terrorists are circulating in the population, and yes, how many more American soldiers will die because of incredibly poor decisions by the current administration.

The author honors all those soldiers who have died and been injured by terrorist actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. America has seen no further terrorist-committed deaths on American soil since 9/11, and the blood of those American soldiers will always be remembered.

Terrorists know there are really no rules for terrorists, as long as they get what they want. Some citizens wanted change this last election. Well they got it. For some of them, their child, wife, or husband won’t be coming home for dinner anymore…

Thought to be the demonic cause of anthropogenic global warming, CO2 has literally been taking all the heat lately. With CO2 concentrations pushing the 400 ppm range as of late, manmade global warmers believe they have the perfect scapegoat for dreaded global warming. If they’re wrong, then the earth won’t fry, there won’t be incredulous risings of the sea and torrential floods, and life on earth will not come to a screeching halt.

But they refuse to believe that CO2 has fallen and risen many times in the past. From ice core samples, it was determined the Late Ordovician Period of the Paleozoic Era was also an Ice Age, while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher (4400 ppm) than today. The Ordovician Period was the 6^th of seven periods in the Paleozoic Era. The 7^th period was the Cambrian

Even in the Cambrian Period of the Paleozoic Era, CO2 was found to be ~7000 ppm (18x higher than today). No anthropogenic global warming was reported. And global warming that did take place went the way of natural sun perturbations, without any human interference. There has been some global warming on several of the planets that have been measurable, but no CO2 producers were caught emitting CO2.

But as CO2 levels have increased in very recent times, so has agricultural productivity and yield. In fact, the world now produces more food on less land than ever before. This can be seen directly from graphs on the USDA Economic Research Service [The 20th Century Transformation of U.S. Agriculture and Farm Policy].

National Geographic specifically highlights this in other countries around the world [Cheap Food — National Geographic Magazine]. General food security for the world is reiterated in Green Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

With CO2, chlorophyll, and sunlight all plants and crops create photosynthesis, or make “plant food”. Quite simply, the more CO2 that exists, the easier the photosynthesis reaction can take place, and the more crops and vegetation grows and produces.

Climate Depot [Rising CO2 a Boon for Biosphere – Earth in 'CO2 Famine' – Cutting ... explains just how CO2 is the best thing the earth could’ve hoped for. Fittingly wheat growers, [U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Minority Page] have decided to reverse course on their cap-and-trade support, mainly because of the beneficial affects of CO2.

In fact, it has been determined in Climate myths: Ice cores show CO2 increases lag behind temperature ... by Noel Sheppard, the total falsehood of claiming temperatures are the result of increasing CO2 concentration. His facts have been proven many times concerning the CO2 increases that existed, which always followed a high temperature. It sometimes lagged temperature by as much as 800 years. But the temperature increase never follows a CO2 increase.

Joe D’Aleo of ICECAP explains how the CO2 has been totally uncorrelated with temperature over the last decade. This is true when the oceans likely play a key role emitting CO2 when they warm as carbonated beverages lose carbonation when they warm, but absorb it when they cool.

It need not be discussed how solar activity always changes in 11 year cycles, or how UV radiation increases much more than brightness which causes increased ozone which directly affects climate, or how sunspots affect cosmic ray production which directly affects cloud formation which directly affects climate.

It also should not be discussed how the sun is a variable star by 0.5%, that goes through cycles sometimes more than 100 years, that the oceans go through multidecadal cycles every 60-70 years which directly affect natural variations in Arctic and Antarctic ice cover, hurricanes, and thus overall weather.

It seems like the Intelligent Designer had all those affects in mind when He made CO2 necessary for plant life, which is necessary for animal life, which is necessary for human life. What an intricate biosystem. And some believe this happened by chance?

The Catholic sitting next to you in Church could be a phony. If they proceed to receive communion they may be calling sacrilege and eternal damnation on their soul. One should know no one is capable of judging what someone’s eternal life may be. But with Senator Kennedy and his full Catholic funeral upon his recent death, one has to wonder.

Kennedy’s urgent push to pass legislation for abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and same sex-marriage demonstrated his utter contempt for four of five “non-negotiables”. Those are, in Catholic doctrine and teaching, intrinsic evils in every case. There are no exceptions.

Doug Patton, whose column in GOPUSA [Let Us Not Confuse Longevity With Statesmanship], brings back one of Kennedy’s most disreputable moments. What many consider treasonous occurred during the Cold War in 1983.

Kennedy sent word to Premier Yuri Andropov offering his help in undermining the Reagan Administration in its dealings with the USSR, in exchange for Andropov’s help in defeating Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. But we all have a short memory and few remember that.

What does one think of a US senator offering to help our sworn enemy in exchange for propaganda to win an election? Of course, a true Catholic would likely not stoop to such a move much less favor any intrinsic evil.

One has to wonder how any previous heinous acts can be considered Catholic just because a supposed “Catholic” performed the evil. How could Notre Dame invite and honor someone who is so pro-abortion? Atrocities associated with the Inquisitions, the Crusades, priestly pedophilia, and errant “Catholic” politicians have plagued Catholics for years. 

This violence was committed by someone who called themselves Catholic. Does that mean a purported Methodist who is involved with killing someone, condemns the whole Methodist religion as murderers?

As Father Euteneuer states, we need to pray for the salvation of heretical Catholics like Kennedy. But we don’t have to praise him, let alone eulogize him with the full honors and reverence of a civic Catholic funeral. He needed to be sent to the afterlife with a private funeral and prayers for his immortal soul.

What Kennedy’s outcome for the thousands of unborn baby’s deaths he was responsible for will be unknown until our death. We are told that Kennedy was able to confess his sins to a priest before he died. If he asked forgiveness for all those deaths, and expressed feelings of remorse and wanting to make things right before he died, his soul is likely saved.

Unfortunately, nobody got that impression about his last wish…

Most of us have had sex with more than one person, right? But let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, and determine our risk of getting an STD. That is, if we don’t already have one. Actually, there are only eight common STDs. But it can be calculated what one’s chances are with the number of partners one might have. Crazy as it sounds; the Heritage House actually calculated with 16 sexual partners, one could have 65,535 possible exposures to any one of at least eight STDs. Insanity, right?

It turns out in this calculation one had to make a few assumptions, the main one being each of your partners only had as many partners as you have. That sounds reasonable. The calculation was limited to only 16 partners in your lifetime. Sexually Transmitted Diseases - Information from CDC

The sexual exposure chart actually listed 15 exposures to STDs with 4 partners, 255 exposures with 8 partners, and 65,535 exposures with 16. They had used an accurate equation resulting in the number of exposures one would have, depending on the number of sexual partners. That equation was E = 2{to the “n” power} - 1, where “n” equals your number of your sexual partners, and “E” equals your number of exposures. The actual documentation is here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partners   1    2    3     4     5     6     7     8     9     10     11     12     13     14      15      16                                                                      

Exposure 1    3    7   15   31   63  127  255 511 1023 2047 4095 8195 16383 32767 65535

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knowing the number of partners you’ve had, gives your exact number of exposures. Per C. Everett Koop, M.D. (former Surgeon General), “When you have sex with someone, you are having sex with everyone they have had sex with for the last 10 years, and everyone they and their partners have had sex with for the last 10 years.”

The most common STDs referred to are: 1) chlamydia, 2) gon----hea, 3) syphilis, 4) HIV/AIDS, 5) genital herpes, 6) HPV, 7) trichomoniasis, and 8) PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease).

But if you read information on the CDC [CDC: 1 in 4 teenage girls have an STD] website closely, you learn with #1 (trichomoniasis), there are almost 2.8 million new cases annually, and by age 30, 50% of sexually active women have it.

With gonnorhea, 80% are not aware in the early stages that they are infected. With #3, 50% are not aware they are infected. With #4, since 1981, there have been more than 1.1 million cases, with over 540,000 deaths in the US alone. With #5, 25% of women and 20% of men have this today. With HPV, 10 different strains exist, with 75% of the reproductive population infected. With #7, there are 7.4 million new cases annually. With PID, 100,000 women/yr become infertile, and 150 of those will die.

All numbers are incorrect if one is taking antibiotics on a regular basis. But who exactly does that? One can say condoms can possibly reduce the risk of all these STDs if they’re used consistently and correctly. Very few do this as well. Slippage rates, breakage, and non-use plague condom users. It’s also known that any reduction of the above chances only applies to vaginal sex. There is little protection with condoms used for anal or oral sex.

But increased usages in a number of African countries have shown “a consistent association between greater availability and use of condoms and higher HIV infection rates,” per Dr Edward C. Green/ Demographic Health Surveys. People just take more risks because they feel safer with condoms.

Having only one sexual partner (preferably wife or husband) essentially eliminates the risk of STD infection, which is unbelievably high even with a few partners. It almost seems as if Someone has shown us the right course, but many have still wavered.

Just dieing from any injury is recorded as 1 in 1820 for your chances [Funny2]. With the numbers cited above, the chance you could get a fatal or non-fatal STD seem significantly higher. But for many, it’s better to be a daredevil with multiple sex partners.

Go figure…

America is a Christian nation, steeped in a Christian heritage, and maintains a mostly Christian backbone to date. It’s a blow when many of the populace defers from anything Christian, and especially when the President actually feels this is a Muslim nation as well. But Christians have always grown up with adversity, disbelief, agnosticism, and atheism. America keeps surviving. Jesus even said hell shall not prevail against its Christian roots.

America’s Christian heritage is complete, despite many people’s efforts to derange, manipulate, or simply omit it. Fifty-two of the 55 Founders of the Constitution, deeply religious men, were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. Of those Founders, 26 had seminary degrees. Back in the country’s early days, each state was free to establish churches, to allow church taxes, and to require attendance in church.

The first SC Justice, John Jay, said “Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers”. It’s even rumored Patrick Henry, one of the initial Founding Fathers said “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded...by Christians… on the gospels of Jesus Christ.”

Martin Luther King, Jr., quoting St. Augustine “…all law is derived from God, not the state”. There are countless engravings and pictures of Moses and the 10 Commandments posted throughout the Supreme Court Building. Bible verses are etched in stone throughout federal buildings and monuments in D.C.  David Barton (historian/author) WallBuilders | Presenting America's forgotten history and heroes ... can be consulted for facts on America’s Christian underpinnings.

All 50 states refer to God in their Constitutions. Every American president has acknowledged God in their acceptance speeches. The oaths all three branches of the government (judicial, legislative, & executive) and witnesses’ oaths in court include the words “…so help me God”.  All US currency has “in God we trust” imprinted.

On dollar bills, the Latin inscription annuit coeptis means, “God has favored our undertaking”. On the tallest building (555 feet) in Washington D.C., the Washington Monument, the top has the Latin words Laus Deo, or “Praise be to God”. [snopes.com: Laus Deo on Washington Monument Capstone Exhibit]

The designer (Pierre Charles l’Enfante) imposed a cross upon the landscape—the White House to the North, the Jefferson Memorial to the South, the Lincoln Memorial to the West, and the Capitol to the East.

When the cornerstone to the Washington Monument was laid on 7/4/1848, the Holy Bible was deposited within it by the Bible Society. Washington, himself, had a prayer for America that ended with “…grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Christian Heritage has been here since 1774. But in 1947 in Everson vs. Board of Education, Justice Hugo Black (member of the KKK and FDR appointee), reinterpreted the meaning of the 1^st Amendment. He took Jefferson’s phrase “separation of church and state” from a letter Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. Even though that phrase is nowhere in the Constitution and Jefferson even wrote the Declaration, he was in France at the time and had nothing to do at all with the Constitution. Because of that gross interpretation of one phrase in one letter, Justice Black limited the religious liberty of all Americans.

It’s truly scary when the president’s view is different from our Founders [Moonbattery: Obama Portrays America as a Muslim Country]. Recently, in Obama’s preparation to leave Washington for his Middle Eastern speech, in an interview on Canal Plus Obama noted that the US could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world”. 

On 12/2/08, the Capital Visitor Center (CVC) opened, Congressional Members of the prayer Caucus found a number of prominent references to God curiously omitted from our history. The original CVC display on the walls claimed E Pluribus Unum was our nation’s national motto. Actually our nation’s motto is “in God we trust”.

It was later found that during the “SOU” address by the President, the statement “in God we trust” etched into the wall of the House Floor just above the President’s head was omitted. Even CVC’s display of Abraham Lincoln’s White House desk where his Bible was always present in full view was absent.

There are more examples of omissions of God in Washington. None are more telling than the quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower in his D-Day message carved into the walls of the WWII memorial. But Eisenhower’s last line “…the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking,” has been omitted as well.

It’s difficult not to go back to Jesus’ words: “…the gates of the netherworld [hell] shall not prevail against it [the church] {Matt 16:18/ NAB}.” Today, one can cite many examples of the devil trying to make inroads…

According to a The New York Jewish Week, article, 83% of the Jewish community in the US supported Obama in the last presidential election. Other polls put the number at 78%. Even a difference of 5% in other polls is well within the stated margin of error, especially with Obama receiving more than ¾ of the Jewish vote. That number is far from logical, knowing the very recent history of the Jewish nation-state: Israel.

Just last week, Obama told a worldwide audience of more than 100 million people, that the killing of Jews in the Holocaust (6 million) was the equivalent of Israel’s actions in handing the Palestinian incursions into Israel.

There has to be something to make the vast majority of a minority to vote for one presidential candidate over another. It’s interesting the Mormons, Protestants, and Catholics understand the threat of Obama with the extinction of Israel, but the majority of American Jews don’t?

Obama flaunts groups like Hamas and their accomplishments for the Palestinians, but they continually use terror tactics to accomplish their purposes. Obama says Israel has treated the Palestinians poorly, but there is no Muslim country that protects its minorities as well as Israel. Israeli Arabs have one of the highest standards of living of any Muslim country, and are the best educated Arabs in the world.

Obama’s speech seems to rewrite the history of Jews, Muslims, and Christians. He seems to forget Islams’s long and bloody history of violence against Jews and Christians, and how the Crusades attempted to turn back the Muslim onslaught that demanded conversions [Newsmax.com - Rabbi: Obama Breeds Climate of Hate Against Jews].

Does he realize how did the Middle East, most of Spain, and Western Europe become Muslim in the first place? He even failed to mention that Arab Muslims were the greatest slave traders in history, and there is no Jewish synagogue or Christian church operating within Saudi Arabia. Along with that, he failed to mention that any Jew or Christian risks beheading for practicing their religion within Saudi Arabia.

Malcolm Hoenlein: Jews 'Very Concerned' About Obama (leader of 50 major US Jewish groups), states “The reason why Palestinians don’t have a state is because their leaders rejected every offer for peace”. Hoenlien continues, “Whether is was in 1937, or 1947, or 1967, or later on, up until Ehud Olmert’s offer, and Ehud Barak’s offer, they rejected everything, even when they were getting virtually everything they asked for.”  Palestinians simply are not ready to accept the existence of the Jewish state.

Iran’s Ahmadinejad has stated his objectives are to erase the face of Israel from the map. Obama has traveled twice to the Mid East without ever visiting Israel, a staunch ally of the US.

Exit polls: How Obama won - David Paul Kuhn - Politico.com showed that Obama garnered 96% of Black voters, and 67% of Hispanics. But on the major issue by far, 63% of voters said it was the economy, and only10% said the war in Iraq. It seems obvious that minorities pushed Obama to the win.

But Jews in general are becoming increasingly concerned with Obama. Minorities are realizing they’re paying more federal taxes, getting fewer job opportunities, and partially own the largest debt in the history of mankind. Obama’s attempts to appease as many terrorists as possible seem likely to backfire sooner than expected.

Most expect the worst, but pray for the best.

The Yomiuri Daily, Japan’s most popular paper, reported that North Korea [N. Korea Missile Hawaii] intends to launch a Taepodong-2 missile towards Hawaii sometime between 6/4 and 6/8. Even though the Taepodong-2’s range is supposedly 2000 miles, and Hawaii’s main islands are almost 4500 miles away, a launch would send a chilling message.

The opportunity to have the shot heard “round the world” presents itself. This shot is not the sound of the Taepodong-2 launching, but the collision, and destroying, of the North Korean missile by a US missile defense launch.

The Korean missile might never reach Hawaii, but everyone and their brother-in-law would know Missile Defense is now a viable, and proven, form of defense against a missile launch by a rogue state. There would be no deaths, no mass destruction, only proof that the world has progressed to the step of elimination of nuclear arms. And it was the US that led the way.

Already North Korea has defied numerous international warnings, and actually threatened war in protest of UN sanctions. Maybe Obama believes that missile defense can actually work. He’s already equipped Hawaii with missile for defense against a rogue attack. Even if a missile could not reach all the way to Hawaii, a simple shoot down would be highly instructive to many.

North Korea would realize that every long range (and short range) missile they have to either wreak havoc or simply threaten, would be antiquated. Every penny dumped into most WMDs would be worthless. Tons of mustard gas, phosgene, sarin, and blood agents they have would be useless.

Even leaders of China and Russia have serious concerns about Pyongyang’s unpredictable actions. South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak recently stated about North Korea’s successful tests “…other non-nuclear countries in Northeast Asia would be tempted to possess nuclear weapons and this would not be helpful for stability in Northeast Asia.”  

Even a little speculation on a successful shoot down of a North Korean missile would result in: 1) the slowing or halting of production of carriers of WMD, 2) more money available for food and other creature needs, 3) a major incentive for other countries not to “weaponize”, 4) US or any other associated country cannot be coerced or strong-armed into any unfavorable position because of a threat, 5) reduction or elimination of nuclear threats by other rogue nations, 6) eliminate the ever-present nuclear option Iran will have, and 6) reduce one of the many terrorist WMD possibilities.

Even though the North Korean dictator Kim Jong is in poor health, his brother-in-law or middle son is believed to be possible options to take over for Kim Jong [North Korea preparing for new leadership? (OneNewsNow.com)]. According to Lt. Col. Bob McGinnis (Senior Military Strategist), anyone lined up to succeed Kim will unfortunately persist with the brutality of his administration.

The unwillingness to deal forcefully with the North Koreans goes back to 1968 [Oliver North : Appeasing Outlaws - Townhall.com]

 when the USS Pueblo was seized in international waters by North Korean patrol boats. Maybe we’d better to take the bull by the horns and show what the US can do when cornered. It’s time to act decisively.

Of course, Obama can sit and wait this crisis out. But it’ll bite much harder next time.
