Pro Euthanasia Speech delivered to the AMA Annual MeetingWith the advent of the controversial Terry Shiavo case in the USearlier this year, the issue of euthanasia is once again in thespotlight. Typically, euthanasia creates a passionate polarization ofbeliefs and zeitgeists, where both sides of the 'Right to lifeand death' camps fight fierce public relations battles, not onlywin the 'hearts and minds' of their populations, but moreimportantly to procure their votes. Nowhere is this battle fought as hard, or as bitterly as it iswithin the medical community.The position currently taken by the AMA is one where medicalpractitioners may not assist terminally ill patients commitsuicide, or euthanize them at their request. The AMA also states that a doctor has the right to a withdrawtreatment at the patients request, with the full knowledge thatsuch an action will result in their death; and administerpain killing medication which, although will also result in thepa...

Policy Separated from Politics

Tue, 10 Apr 2012 07:57:08 -0500

Policy Separated from Politics: I am related to Hamiltons who came to Canada as United EmpireLoyalists but I cannot say for sure they were related to thisman who clearly was also a monarchist. William Hamilton Stewartis one of the Stuart historians I have quoted and his name isproof for the Hamiltons being part of the Stuart Hibernian andMerovingian continuum. This man says his family history goesback to the Berbers for at least , years and I think hecould go further than that if he wanted to use archaeology andthe work of Gimbutas. Here is Noam Chomsky making a most important connection.Politics has become something totally absurd. We see Mr. Chomskymakes a good case for something quite the opposite of whatpeople call democracy, being in fact, social engineering byelites. 'A similar move from Stalinist commissar to celebration ofAmerica is quite standard in modern history, and it doesn'trequire much of a shift in values, just a shift in judgment asto where powe...

LOOK AT SOUTH AFRICA - CELEBRATE THEBELOVED COUNTRY UPDATED Authors Note: It is ten years sincethe first democratic elections, so we can celebrate a decade ofthe birth of a new country, where in spite of an endemic crimerate most people accept each other and work together as commoncitizens of the "beloved country". Well, I'm always looking atsome positive aspects and this is my reason for sharing thispiece about my former yet always in my heart country!

The 7 Deadly Sins Are Now American Icons

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 00:17:56 -0600

With the focus of the world on the change of power in Rome, nowseems like an appropriate time to look at some tenets of thatancient faith as developed through the centuries.We all break one of the commandments occasionally, and feelterribly guilty afterwards. The deadly sins are somethingelse: not only do we too frequently display them, but ourculture seems bent on idolizing them! Consider:PrideThe arrogance of believing that our way is the only way andasserting our certainty about how the world should work isexemplified by President Bush and his right-wing minions. Thefact that he won re-election confirms that our citizens have noaversion to excessive pride, no matter what their particularreligious doctrine prescribes.Envy"Keeping up with the Joneses" is a cultural pursuit touching alllevels - we want what others have, we want it now, and we willbuild up our personal debt just like the National Debt to getit. Not only do we crave the expensive toys that confe...

Russia's Middle Class

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:33:04 -0600

A conference held, at the beginning of the month, in St.Petersburg, was aptly titled "Middle Class - The Myths and theReality". Russia is way poorer than Slovenia, the CzechRepublic, Hungary, or even Poland. But, as income disparitiesgrow, a group of discriminating consumers with the purchasingpower to match, is re-emerging, having been submerged by the implosion of the financial sector.The typical salary in the large metropolises is now more than per month - four times the meager national average. Some percent of the workforce in Moscow earns more than amonth, comparable to many members of the European Union. Realaverage wages across Russia have surpassed the pre- level inMay.Moreover, Russians are unburdened by debt and their utilitybills and food are heavily subsidized, though decreasingly so.Few pay taxes - lately dramatically reduced and simplified - andeven fewer save. Every rise in disposable income is immediatelytranslated to unadulterated c...

Good and Evil

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:18:19 -0600

What a wonderful time to be the President of the United States!If you are President, you are king. You can spend a trilliondollars of other people's money and thousands of lives, to huntdown one personal enemy. You can do it in the name of freedomand democracy. Any who might get in your way will pat you on theback and say; "Go get em". You can do it in the name of God,which makes it good. King George looked upon all he had createdand it was very good. "Woe unto those who call good evil and evil good." Woe untothose who can no longer tell the difference. King George knowsthe difference. Anything he does with a stated good intention isgood, no matter what the immediate and long term outcome. Nomatter what or who it costs. Are you low on self esteem? Borrowsome from the king. He has more than the rest of us combined. Heis the good tree and he produces only good fruit. Won't you takea bite? Go ahead. Eat - For these are the end of times and wewill get fooled again.

The Self-Appointed Altruists - Part II

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:07:58 -0600

NGO's in places like Sudan, Somalia, Myanmar, Bangladesh,Pakistan, Albania, and Zimbabwe have become the preferred venuefor Western aid - both humanitarian and financial - developmentfinancing, and emergency relief. According to the Red Cross,more money goes through NGO's than through the World Bank. Theiriron grip on food, medicine, and funds rendered them analternative government - sometimes as venal and graft-strickenas the one they replace.Local businessmen, politicians, academics, and even journalistsform NGO's to plug into the avalanche of Western largesse. Inthe process, they award themselves and their relatives withsalaries, perks, and preferred access to Western goods andcredits. NGO's have evolved into vast networks of patronage inAfrica, Latin America, and Asia.NGO's chase disasters with a relish.

The Self-Appointed Altruists - Part I

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:03:34 -0600

Their arrival portends rising local prices and a culture shock.Many of them live in plush apartments, or five star hotels,drive SUV's, sport laptops and PDA's. They earn a twofigure multiple of the local average wage. They are busybodies,preachers, critics, do-gooders, and professional altruists.Always self-appointed, they answer to no constituency. Thoughunelected and ignorant of local realities, they confront thedemocratically chosen and those who voted them into office. Afew of them are enmeshed in crime and corruption. They are thenon-governmental organizations, or NGO's.Some NGO's - like Oxfam, Human Rights Watch, Medecins SansFrontieres, or Amnesty - genuinely contribute to enhancingwelfare, to the mitigation of hunger, the furtherance of humanand civil rights, or the curbing of disease. Others - usually inthe guise of think tanks and lobby groups - are sometimesideologically biased, or religiously-committed and, often, atthe service of special interests.NG...

An Open Letter To The People of Afghanistan and Iraq

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:39:55 -0600

Take hope all you people! Your great suffering has not been invain. Many alive today will live to see the fulfillment of endtime prophecies. That is, the end of the Old World Order, whichhas oppressed all the people of the world, even as it hasrewarded its faithful servants. Osama Bin Laden began this work with his war on the West, whichis the stronghold of Mystery Babylon the Great, described in thelast book of the Christian Bible. Although Osama only succeededin destroying the main symbols of Babylonian power, so far; theeconomic damages mounts daily and with no further help, Babylonwill fall and the merchants will weep. In the eighteenth Chapter of the Book of Revelation, ispublished the Babylonian value system. Gold, silver and preciousstones are the most valuable things on the list of merchandise.Slaves and souls are the least valuable things. The whole worldwould rebel against such a value system if they only recognizedit and how it operates. It operates through ...

Non-Prophet Cartoons: Islam vs. The West

Tue, 27 Dec 2011 00:10:43 -0600

What once was America's War on Terror is fast becoming Europe's War on Cultural Intolerance. It is one thing for Bush to announce democracy's extension into the Middle East as an expression of Western ideals'freedom, liberty, tolerance, ad nausea, ad infinitum'as a guise to buttress cheap oil prices and to further addict the world to the petrol-DOLLAR . . . it is quite another thing for Europe to rally its indifference, mediocrity and effete cultural pride to assail the Islamic hoards who, like the barbarians vs. the Roman Empire, now threaten to bring Europe to its effeminate knees and end her much-vaunted openness and age of tolerance!Please view complete articlelinksgraphics The Tribulation Network By Doug KriegerIn the Name of Allah vs. In the Name of LibertyThe West'specifically, the European West'stands aghast at Islam's violent reaction to its comedic caricature of the Prophet and ponders: ...
