Formerly the Thinking Catholic Strategic Center
By Prof. Libor Brom, 1982
(From "Where is your America?" by IMPRIMIS of Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, 49242 Vol 11, No. 8., August 1982)
The fact is that we live in a time of fateful challenges. As a people and a nation we are under test.
This challenge is, of course, Marxism-Leninism. There is no mystery in its strategies and tactics. It has always been concrete and spelled out in black and white. It has also been openly and actively tested in the economic, political, and ideological struggle for control around globe.
Lenin, the founder of the first Communist state, put it simply: "First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia. We will encircle the last bastion of capitalism, the United States of America. We will not need to fight. It will fall as a ripe fruit into our hands." And, "We must practice coexistence with other nations, until we are strong enough to take over by means of world revolution.... We are not pacifists. Conflict is inevitable. Great political questions can be solved only through violence.... It is inconceivable that Communism and capitalism can exist side by side. Inevitably one must perish.''
Rykov, Lenin's successor in the Council of Soviet Commissars, corroborated: "It is our duty to inculcate in the minds of nations the theories of international friendship, pacifism, and disarmament, encouraging their resistance to military appropriations and training, without ever relaxing our own efforts in building our military equipment.'' Manuilsky, a prominent Soviet professor at the School of Political Warfare, said: "The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. We shall begin by Launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends."
And Khrushchev, a more contemporary Soviet prime minister, said: "We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find out they have Communism.''
Today, Marxism-Leninism represents a most complex and powerful doctrine developed by Communist theoreticians and practitioners in every corner of the world. 'Its universal library offers dynamic political weapons and comprehensive theories, diversified approaches and seductive slogans. On one side of the globe, there is the Yugoslav moderate theory of reformed Communism and participative economy which lures masses into socialism. On the other side of the earth there are Chinese slogans which are more productive in inflaming a Communist revolution.
Marxism-Leninism is particularly effective on the semantic level where it exhibits a devastating duality. It lulls its adversaries to sleep, while at the same time it mobilizes its followers to revolutionary action. The Communist International's Seventh Congress concluded that open use of revolutionary terminology does not promote the Marxist-Leninist drive for world domination. Therefore, "revolution" has been changed into "liberation," "world conquest by the proletariat" has been changed into "peace and socialism," "armed seizure of power and liquidation of the bourgeoisie" has been rephrased to read "peaceful and gradual transition to socialism.''
Even the word "Communism," which every revolutionary is so proud of, has been changed into "progressive, "anti-Fascist" or "liberal." Further, to confuse their adversaries, the Marxist-Leninists have devised a new language which uses old words in the basic vocabulary. When they say "imperialism arouses the wrath of the people and digs its own grave," they mean "through our manipulation of the local Communist parties, and with a vast auxiliary corps of dupes ; and sympathizers, we so arrange matters that the free enterprise system and democracy are destroyed from within. All we need to do is push it into the grave."
Thus, the free, complacent, conscience-stricken, guilt-ridden, sex-sodden, drug-driven, decadent, and often antagonistic societies have been manipulated by goal-oriented, dedicated, and shrewd Marxist-Leninist dialectics into a notorious period of so-called peaceful coexistence and plain overt hostilities. "Detente" has become not the hope of free people everywhere, but rather their doom. "Detente does not necessarily spell out the end of the struggle between the two social systems," says Pravda. "The struggle will continue between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie."
In other words, the so-called detente is nothing more than a form of Marxist-Leninist art skillfully geared toward pacifying the American public by encouraging them to act ridiculously nice while the Communists kick the daylights out of them. The result is that the free world continues to shrink. Democracies cannot handle periods of low-tension confrontation. They have - an almost universal desire to believe that peace is the natural condition of man, that armies are temporary nuisances, that conflicts of interest can be dissolved simply by a policy of good will. Unfortunately, nothing is further from the truth; but for some reason free people prefer to believe it.

This article proves that all professors are not necessarily Lefties. It also pretty well documents the evil nature of Marxism, and its close affinity to un-truth. The slick terminology it uses is what upsets me most, because the terminology is what brings so many otherwise decent people under the spell of this lying ideology.
Every good and decent person wants peace; every good and decent person wants an end to wars; every good and decent person wants an end to hunger; etc., etc., etc. Every idealistic youth wants social perfection, and the ultimate Marxist aim is touted to be a social utopia – a man made perfect society – heaven on earth – worldly perfection – a worker's paradise – a new world order.
But it's all a lie.
In Hillary-Speak, the goal is the Global Village. In Obama-Speak, the goal is the World Community. In some future ideologue-Speak, it will be something else, but it's all the same thing. The only real goal is the end of free commerce and the end of individual liberty. Meaning, necessarily, the enslavement of man. It doesn't sound so nice when the real language is applied, but that's what it is.
Today, Liberalism = Leftism = Progressivism = Moderation = anti anti-Communism = Marxism = the drive toward dictatorship and tyranny. Which explains my aversion even to FOX News, as being "Fair and Balanced" because they present the "Liberal" point of view to counter the pro-American point of view. Why should they do that?
Liberalism is the enemy of America.
Why should an ideology that seeks our destruction get equal time? How do you compromise with someone who intends to kill you? How to you participate in gentlemanly give-and-take with a sworn mortal enemy? Once again, I repeat, because it bears repeating: there is no Conservative – meaning no strictly pro-American – news network in America today. FOX gives equal time to the anti-American point of view. Every other network is slanted heavily in the anti-American direction. There is no pro-American news network.
There can be no compromise with Marxism. You cannot "reach across the aisle" and compromise with someone who's goal is your nation's utter destruction. Marxism is the clear enemy of all free men everywhere, and it is the clear enemy of the American Constitution.
That is just crystal clear, and Professor Brom has beautifully shown it to us in this essay.

I am asking for some guidance.
I am so confused. I am doing a paper on any idea from Clear and Present Danger: "Wahhabism" as a Rhetorical Foil by Alexander Knysh.
I am so lost. I read his paper twice and I can't even understand what he is saying.
Here is my question that I am trying to answer in my paper.
What was the ideological void left by the collapse of Marxism-Leninism which led to these "mutually opposed movements" Sufism and Wahhabism to take hold?
I know what Sufism and Wahhabism are but I have no idea how to relate this to Marxism.
If you could point me in the right direction, suggest something to read, I would greatly appreciate it.
What I do know is that Marxism was more of a religion and so is Sufism and Wahhabism.
Was it the fact that Marx lied to the people and what be promised he did not deliver so they sought a new religion?
Did they find meaning in the Islam religion?
I know that there is a clear-cut divide between the 'right' or 'proper' and the 'wrong' or 'evil' forms of Islam, the former being 'traditional' Sufism, the latter so-called Wahhabism.
How do I fill in the Marxism part?
Any help would be appreciated.

Having no familiarity with Professor Knysh or with his work, and not being compelled to delve into it, I cannot answer your questions out of any great scholarship or inner knowledge of my own. I'm afraid there are no shortcuts. A careful reading of the paper / book you cite should show the country or countries involved and the history of related events. If that is not the case, then the question is a bogus question not worthy of answering.
Sufism appears to be a form of mysticism that predates Islam and merged with it among some sects. There's no telling where someone will wind up when they go looking for God in all the wrong places. Man seems always on a quest to find God, but only in Judaism and in Christianity did God seek man, and reveal Himself to man. In every other case it's the other way round. Man "finds" God, or invents him, and a religion is born.
Marx rejected religion, referring to it as the opiate of the masses, and sought to instill materialistic atheism in his followers. Marxism is merely a tool of use to would-be dictators to get in charge of nations. Marx's vision was international, as shown in his Communist Manifesto. Nevertheless, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other Marxist dictators showed by their iconic statues and grand, mass ceremonies that smacked of liturgy that Marxism had morphed into a quasi-religion, in which the dictators took on the aura of gods.
Islam, or Mohammedism, is also a sham religion. Mohammed encountered no angel, or, if he did, then it was the wrong kind of angel. Islam is merely a tool of use to would-be dictators to get in charge of nations. Mohammed's vision was international, intending the whole of the world to submit to rule by Islam. The argument between Sunni and Shiite branches involves merely a disagreement about which branch of Mohammed's blood line is to produce the ultimate Emperor (or Caliph) who is to rule the world.
There is no "right" or "proper" or "correct" form of Islam. There are only Moslems who are more or less religious. The more religious the Moslem is, the more likely he is to kill someone, and the more dedicated he will be to expanding Dar Al Islam (the house of Islam) at the expense of Dar Al Harb (the house of war.) Dar Al Harb is where we infidels live. Allah is only merciful in Dar Al Islam. Allah is downright murderous in Dar Al Harb.
Similarly, there can be no compromise between America as Constituted and Marxism. Marxism includes what we today call Liberalism. We are either free to vote with our own dollars for the goods and services competitively available in a free market, or we are not free to do that. The market is either unrestrained or government controlled. The people are either independent, or dependent on government. I submit that we have not had a free and open market and an independent citizenry since at least the 1930s. And it is rapidly getting much worse under Obamunism .
But the technical answer for your assignment is to be found in the publication you cite, Lucy, if it is to be found at all. There just ain't no shortcuts.

You speak untruth regarding Islam. Islam is peace; there is bad and good within Islam as there is bad and good within Catholic church. There is no difference. When you speak untruth about Islam why should anyone believe what you say about Marxism or Catholicism or America? You are full of hate and not peaceful man.

I have said nothing that is untrue. The very nature of Islam is violent, and the entire history of the movement involves military conquest and brutal suppression of any and all resistance. I offer as evidence the following fact.
Every African nation that is Islamic today was previously Christian, and every one of them was "converted" to Islam not in the normal sense, but by the sword. Not by preaching, evangelization, reason or informed consent, but by pure military conquest and by force. To my knowledge, there are no exceptions. This is a historically verifiable statement.
If Islam is a religion of peace, it has a very funny way of showing it. Since the 09/11/01 Islamic act of mass-murder I have written multiple pages on the nature Islam on this site, the last one being the Islam Is The Enemy page, written after the Fort Hood multiple murders committed in the name of Islam. If there exists any movement more destructive of freedom and truth and more dangerous to the world than Marxism, it would have to be Islam.
Today we have a President who is even more anti-Semitic and more of an enemy of Israel than ex-Presidents Jiminy Carter and the Presidents Clinton. He seeks some weird kind of reconciliation with Islam at the expense of our only true ally in the Middle east, and the only protector of our own and their own holy sites. This is a vitally important point: Comrade Obama has no interest in protecting or supporting or standing by Israel. He will allow Israel to be destroyed. He is a ruthless man, for whom both Marxism and Islam are mere tools of use to him in achieving his own personal ends.
American national survival, the survival of Israel and the peaceful well-being of the world depends upon the American citizenry getting Comrade Obama out of office, as soon as possible.

World Market® Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee, Set of 6
Rich but not as 'buttery' as Kauai
For brewed coffee, I prefer the Kauai Peaberry, by far! (Where did THAT go?!) I miss it and tried this instead. This was great for cappuccino, etc. when bought as whole bean and fresh ground. It is rich, deep and fully flavored. A little smoky and earthy, with a slight fruity bite that lingers. I like the buttery richness of the Kauai Peaberry better. My husband likes how robust this one is. For me it was a little too intense or earthy to be my favorite.

MARTIN, Tenn.– Four seniors on the University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team were recognized before today's regular season finale against Austin Peay. The Skyhawks would put on a collective show as they closed out the regular season slate with a record setting performance to pick up the 116-85 Ohio Valley Conference victory over the visiting Lady Govs.
The Skyhawks (22-7, 15-1 OVC) recognized seniors Heather Butler, Jasmine Newsome, Megan White and manager Tabitha Causey as the winningest class to come through UT Martin. On top of winning the program's first two outright OVC regular season championships, a trio of OVC Tournament championships and the programs first three consecutive NCAA Tournament berths, the foursome led the program to 85 wins and a 55-11 worksheet in conference play.
"Our effort from this game was a grind and I am very proud of our senior class," said UT Martin coach Kevin McMillan. "Our senior class of Tabitha Causey, Megan White, Jasmine Newsome and Heather Butler has been outstanding when it comes to accolades and achievements. This group of seniors has probably resulted in more exposure and positive publicity for this university than any group I have ever been around. I've been incredibly proud to coach this group and someday we'll look back and really realize how spoiled that we have been."
Sending the seniors out in deserving fashion, the Skyhawks broke four UT Martin records, on top of several personal bests. UT Martin scored a single-game record 116 points, breaking the previous mark of 114 points against Tennessee State on Jan. 2, 2012. The senior duo of Butler and Newsome continued to rewrite the record books as Butler tied her previous single-game record with 44 points, matching her output against Eastern Kentucky and Newsome's performance earlier this season against Quinnipiac.
A large part of Butler's successful afternoon was her shooting ability from beyond the arc, tying Newsome's previous record with nine made three-pointers in a single game. Newsome who tallied 25 points on the afternoon, dished out a program record 14 assists, breaking the long standing record of 13 held by Gwen Long since Nov. 21, 1986.
Along with the senior duo's impressive game accomplishments, the duo continue to climb their respective NCAA and OVC leaderboards. With Butler's 44 point performance, she not only continued her double figures streak to 126 consecutive games which ranks seventh in NCAA history, but became the OVC's all-time leader in made three-point field goals with 381 while jumping from 23rd to 20th on the NCAA all-time scoring list with 2,811 career points. Newsome tallied 25 points to move into third on the OVC's all-time scoring list, passing Austin Peay's Brooke Armistead with 2,512 points. Newsome now needs just 15 points to move into second, making both Butler and Newsome the no. 1 and 2 scorers in league history.
"All of our season accomplishments mean nothing to this point," said McMillan. "Reality is that we are a single bid league and all that matters now is the tournament. It doesn't matter what you have done in the regular season or in your career, everything comes down to next week. I just hope our kids are ready."
Austin Peay (9-20, 6-10 OVC) shot 50 percent from the floor but were eliminated from OVC Tournament contention with the loss. The Lady Govs placed four players in double figures, led by the play of Kristen Stainback who tallied 21 points and seven assists. Stainback was joined in double figures by Tiasha Gray (19), Beth Rates (16 points and nine rebounds) and Jennifer Nwokocha (13).
Austin Peay jumped out to an early 8-4 lead before the Skyhawks would respond with a 4-1 run of their own. Newsome scored six of the team's opening eight points but would trail the Lady Govs 9-8 at the first media timeout.
With the Skyhawks trailing by six with 13:55 to play, the home team scored six unanswered points over the next 30 seconds, causing the Lady Govs to call a timeout. Ultimately the Lady Govs would outscore the Skyhawks 14-13 over a period of four minutes, leading 23-21 with 11:44 to play in the first. Butler would knock down a pair of three-pointers while Jones tallied five points during the span.
The Skyhawks began to claw back into the game by forcing three turnovers are the ensuing three minutes of play while Newsome and Butler both tallied three-pointers to cut the Lady Govs lead to one.
UT Martin would tie the game at the five minute mark after Butler hit Warfield-Cross on a backdoor cut which resulted in a three-point play, knotting the game at 39-all. A jumper by Butler just outside of the paint at 4:31 mark gave the Skyhawks just their second lead of the game. During the Skyhawks 12-6 run, both Newsome and Butler would reach double figures.
The Skyhawks ended the first half on a 13-4 run, taking a 57-43 lead into the locker room. Newsome led all scorers with 19 points and seven assists in the first half while Butler tallied 15 points. Austin Peay was led by Rates who tallied 12 points and four rebounds.
Austin Peay came out attacking in the opening minutes of the second half, outscoring the Skyhawks 13-10 in the opening four minutes of play. Butler came out firing to start the second half, tallying eight of the team's 10 points, including a pair of trifectas. Stainback joined double figure scorers for the Lady Govs with nine points of her own to start the second.
The Skyhawks went on a 17-6 run over the next four minutes as Butler continued her career night with nine points during the span. Newsome would not be outdone, notching a program single-game record with her 14th assist on the night.
The record breaking night would continue in the game's next four minutes as Butler tied the school's single game three-point record with nine made trifectas along with the single-game scoring record as she tallied her 44th point at the 4:06 mark.
UT Martin would ultimately outscore the Lady Govs 59-42 in the second half as the Skyhawks coasted to the 116-85 victory. The win saw the Skyhawks break the single game scoring record with 115 points, scoring over 100 points for the eighth time this season, while moving the team to 15-1 in conference play, tying the program's best conference finish.
UT Martin will return to action in the semifinals of the OVC Tournament after earning the No. 1 seed and a double bye. The Skyhawks will have to wait to find out their opponent before opening play on Friday, March 7 at noon.

The Neo-Gothic Parliament Building was constructed during the Victorian Era, but Westminster Hall dates back to 1097, when it was part of the original Palace of Westminster. On a tour of this great building you will see the Central Library with its ceiling of rich mosaics; the Commons Chamber, where the Government and the Opposition are separated by the Speaker; and the Royal Gallery, which the Queen passes through at the State Opening. You will also see the House of Lords and the Lords' Chamber. Your tour might even allow you to listen in during Question Time.
Big Ben is not the name of the famous clock in the 320-foot (106 m) tower that rises above the Houses of Parliament. It is actually the name of the 14 ton bell on which the hours are struck. Big Ben was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who was Chief Commissioner of Works when the bell was installed in 1858. One of the most recognized features of London, the Big Ben clock is still the largest clock in the United Kingdom. It has kept the exact time, more or less continuously, since 1859.

Yesterday I was talking about sending my picture in the space with NASA's STS-133 expedition. Thousands of us uploaded the photographs which will be taken on the next two flights to the International Space Station. Not sure why we did that, probably just because we can. And because we can't actually go up there. So he photograph is the next best thing. Or something like that.
Now, what if aliens find all those pictures including one that I just uploaded?
I know that it's not going to outer space, but I like to entertain the idea. If my face is up there, I want it to be seen. Or sensed in any way that aliens usually do sense the world around them.
illustration by Rutger Vos
So, a couple of thousands of years from now, on the wreckage of International Space Station orbiting around what once was a home of a weird self-destructive life form, slimy being with an unpronunceable name, independent space archeologist and explorer by profession, slides its tentacles over the wall filled with photographs of faces. Thousands of them.
It has no idea about who those creatures are and why are they on the wall. But it recalls their shape from the books with the tales that no serious space archeologist will believe in. Tales of a tiny planet with vast mines of precious material that nobody believes exists. Polypropylene. And now the alien is almost sure that it's close to it!
Alien curled in the corner of the wreckage, thinking. About wealth. About legends. About new shiny warp-drive spaceship it's going to get. About mythical polypropylene and how nobody believed in it just because it can't be found anywhere in the known space. But here it was. On the small planet right there. But there was a problem.
If it's really going to make a huge wealth out of the new discovery, the whole place has to stay secret. Alien didn't need anybody to share the profit with. It needed slaves that would stay on the planet mining the polypropylene. Then a great idea came. It remembered the experimental technology his acquaintance had. Technology that was capable of cloning any being, from any era and part of space, just by scanning it's appearance. And there they are, right in front of him, thousands of them. Natives of now deserted planet, perfect for the job.
So, a couple of thousands of years from now, on the small planet that once was a home of a weird life form that has gone extinct by suffocation because of enormous amount of polypropylene they have manufactured, my clones – hundreds of them – will mine the dumps of plastic toys, bottles, bags and what not. Slaves of a slimy creature with tentacles, space adventurer with a bit of luck and a great idea. And a shiny warp-drive spaceship.
NASA, can I take that picture back?

A recap of the activities at Virginia Mason Athletic Center for Aug. 4, when the Seahawks held the ninth practice in their training camp presented by Bing:
"The thing I like about him is how guys who have played with him and have been on his team talk about him."Pete Carroll on |
Lynch is the type who would prefer to let his actions to speak for him, and today he was downright chatty.
He had a nice run on a draw play out of the shotgun early in practice. He later made a nice cutback to turn what looked like nothing into a 6-yard gain. He then bulled for 5 yards on a third-and-2 play. And in the 4-minute drill that ended practice, Lynch carried for 6, 2, 7 and 5 yards – with the best run being the 7-yarder on third-and-2 after Wilson faked as if he was going left and then pitched back to Lynch to the right.
"Marshawn has been right dead on the money," coach Pete Carroll said on yet another gorgeous day along the shores of Lake Washington. "He's done everything extremely well. He's really fit. Mentality, attitude, everything's been great. He's done everything we've asked of him."
"It feels good to actually get to play some linebacker," Farwell said. "The preseason is an opportunity to kind of prove to the coaching staff and to my teammates that I can still play linebacker if we need me."
Farwell has been needed the past few practice because starting middle linebacker
"It's a good group we have," Farwell said of the linebacking crew that also includes
But if they do, Farwell is not only ready but prepared. That was obvious as he prevented what looked like a sure TD pass.
"I'm kind of beating myself up because I didn't intercept it," he said. "To the fans, it's a good play. To the coaching staff, it's a good play. But I look it as if I should have intercepted it and made a great play."
"Right now, Walter is trying to win that nickel spot," Carroll said. "That's the first thing and then he wants to play corner, too, and he can do both."
But first things first. And, as Carroll put it, "This is going to be a real battle." Here's his assessment on the two leading candidates for the nickel back role, as Winfield is working with the No. 1 unit and Thurmond with the No. 2 unit:
On Winfield: "Antoine is a gifted football player. He's been terrific. He just knows what's going on, just like you would think. Makes the most of his plays. He's been in great position. Takes away a lot of routes, so we can't even throw it."
On Thurmond: "Walter has played very well. Walter being healthy, as he's been, it's really been a great boost for us to see him and for himself. His confidence is really up and he's playing well."
The fifth-round draft choice had what Carroll labeled "a really good day" in Friday's mock day.
They arrive by the bus load, decked out in their Seahawks Sunday best, to watch practice. Today's crowd of 2,850 tied for the largest of camp so far. Fans were wearing jerseys of the current players – Wilson (No. 3, in blue, white and gray), Lynch (24), All-Pro free safety But fans also were flying the jerseys of players past. There were the expected – Steve Largent (80), Kenny Easley (45), Mack Strong (38), Shaun Alexander (37), Cortez Kennedy (96), Chad Brown (94), John Carlson (89) and Trufant (23), all members of the Seahawks' 35th Anniversary team. There were the unexpected – a No. 17 that was John Friesz, not Dave Krieg; and Justin Forsett (20). There were the in between – Leroy Hill (56) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (84). |
At 325 pounds, the defensive tackle from Alabama and Australia brings an element the line needs after Alan Branch signed elsewhere in free agency – size and length at the three-technique spot.
"He really looked good," Carroll said. "That's the best he's looked, by far. He played very physical football and controlled the line of scrimmage well. He's a real smart kid, real smart football player. You can see the savvy that he has. He senses a lot of stuff.
"So this is a real exciting preseason for us, and for him. We want to see where he fits in."
Asked who else jumped out in the video review of Friday's mock game, Carroll listed cornerback
Running back
Wide receiver Sidney Rice, strong safety Kam Chancellor, cornerback
But fullback
The players will practice on Monday and Tuesday mornings, starting at 10:15, and again on Wednesday before the team flies to San Diego for Thursday night's preseason opener.
"It's great to play a game. We need to play a game," Carroll said. "These games are hugely important to us. This is when we tackle full speed and cover kicks full speed and start to find our legs and our whole style of play. So this is a big deal for us. We don't take these lightly at all."

Jeff is working hard on the next issue of RASL. So, I figured I would pass along some fun videos and pictures from the first half of the conventions we've been attending.
Here is an interview Jeff did with the Stumptown Trader Review in San Diego.
And here is their Comic Con 2011 Highlight Reel. Jeff makes a cameo about the 1:55 mark.
Publishers Weekly had some fun pics and information on the kid's books at the show. You can read that by clicking here!
Baltimore Comic Con was fun as Jeff, Steve and I continued the party with Robyn and Terry Moore. This photo courtesy of the Baltimore Comic Con Facebook page!
Fan Expo Canada was the highlight of the BONE tour for me thus far. The screen capture below is from the video of where I was "punked" by a girl from MTV Live, who was cutting in line to get an autograph. After she told me, and I saw the camera, this moment will go down as the most embarrassing of my life, so far! You can see the whole video here!
We will have more pics and stories soon, and Jeff should be back to blogging next week!
Next up on the 20th Anniversary BONE Tour…New York Comic Con! Hope to see you there!

The largest donor to either presidential campaign is the casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who's already given $34 million to the Romney campaign and affiliated organizations.
Adelson also owns casinos in Pennsylvania and Las Vegas, but the vast majority of his wealth appears to come from his operations in the Chinese territory of Macau (a former Portugese colony with an unpleasant reputation).
This summer alone, Adelson's Macau gambling empire has been accused of involvement in prostitution (which is legal and widespread in Macau), bribery, and organized crime. (Adelson's Las Vegas casinos are also being investigated over allegations of money-laundering.)
Adelson has promised to spend $100 million on behalf of the Romney campaign this year, a stupendous sum that would be totally unprecedented in US electoral history. Shortly after his nomination as Romney's running-mate, Paul Ryan himself made a secretive visit to Adelson's Las Vegas property (closed to the media).
What exactly is Adelson buying with this $34 million, or the additional $66 million that may already be flowing?

The Turlock Christian High girls basketball team was seven points away from capturing a CIF Division VI Sac-Joaquin Section title last year, after losing in the championship game to Valley Christian 47-54.
When Don Inman took over the Hilmar High girls basketball program back in the 2010-11 season, the Yellowjackets made the playoffs in his first year at the helm. Four years later, the 'Jackets have made it to the playoffs in three of the last four seasons, however, have fell in all their respective opening rounds.
The Denair High girls basketball program has been in a decade-long downslide, accumulating zero winning seasons in that 10 year span. Enter Mike Turpin as the Coyotes new head coach. The future already looks bright for the Coyotes after the team's best start since before the 2004-05 season.
It was a Tuesday-night thriller when Menlo-Atherton High traveled to Pitman High's home court for the CIF Division I Nor Cal finals in a showdown of champions.
The Turlock Christian Eagles volleyball team was one win away from competing in the CIF Division VI Nor Cal championship game, but their fate was decided this past weekend after falling in the semifinal match to Anderson Valley in straight sets.
Pitman High's historic season on the volleyball court was extended Saturday night with the Pride's straight-set victory of San Ramon Valley High in their CIF Division I NorCal semifinal match.
In his second year as the head coach for Turlock Christian boys varsity basketball team, Eddie Sai led his team to their second consecutive postseason berth with an 18-10 record last year, but the Eagles unfortunately lost in the opening round of the playoffs.
The Hilmar High wrestling team is coming off a year where they tied for second in the Trans Valley League, however, barely missed a postseason berth after coming two points shy.
Turlock High has dusted off its wrestling gear and is back on the mat for the 2014 winter season. After finishing third in the Central California Conference last year and graduating two state qualifiers, the Bulldogs return with a handful of experienced wrestlers and a crop of fresh faces as they aim to take league and return to state once again.
The sport of water polo has thrived in Turlock and the rest of the Central Valley since its introduction roughly 40 years ago by the late Steve Feaver.
The Pitman High varsity wrestling team is coming off the most successful season in school history after winning its first Central California Conference title in 2013-14 and posting a 12-1 overall record.
Coming off a devastating defeat to Sonora High in the CIF Division-IV Sac-Joaquin Section Championship, Hilmar High's volleyball team was hoping to bounce back in the CIF Northern California State Tournament but things ended quickly for the Yellowjackets who lost in straight sets, 0-3.
Four days after winning the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship in one of its hardest matches of the season, Pitman High played Oakland Tech High in what could be argued was its easiest match.
The Turlock Christian High volleyball team is moving on to the Northern California State Tournament semifinal after defeating Fall River in the opening round of the CIF Division-VI Nor Cal State Tournament, 3-1, on Tuesday.
The Turlock and Pitman baseball programs enter the 2015 season coming from different places - the Bulldogs from earning three league titles in four years and the Pride from a disappointing 8-7 season in 2014 - but both hoping to clinch a top spot in the Central California Conference. Both teams have the potential to reach their shared goal.
Pitman High entered the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Championships in Stockton on Friday with the aim to match or best its performance from a season ago in which four of its wrestlers qualified for the State Championships. While the Pride fielded the exact same number of qualifiers as last season, Angel Velasquez's (132 pound) championship effort on the mat solidified the 2014-15 season as Pitman's most successful ever. The Pride also put in its best team performance to date with an 8th place finish.
Pitman and Turlock High's girls varsity soccer squads kicked off the 2015 regular season with a two-day tournament event at Pitman with 16 schools from around the area competing for a chance to call themselves the best of the tourney.
The 2014 season was arguably one of the most exciting years for high school sports in the area and it wasn't any different in varsity girls soccer.
The 2015 spring season just began on Wednesday for Hilmar High, but already the Yellowjackets have four matches under their belt and at least one more scheduled for today. It's the kind of starting schedule one would expect from a team trying to improve on a fourth place Trans Valley League finish last season.
Adolfo Maldonado of Pitman High has decided to attend California State University, Stanislaus on a soccer athletic scholarship.
The post season has always been a tough road for local wrestling teams, but with this year's shakeup of the post season format - specifically the inclusion of Folsom and Del Oro High in the new Sac-Joaquin Section Division I AA Championships - that road proved to be even more difficult for Turlock and Pitman High.
Hilmar, Delhi and Denair High are each sending one wrestler to this weekend's Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Championships at the Stockton Arena after their respective 12th, 13th and 14th place finishes in the team standings at the SJS Division V Championships last weekend.
For the eighth straight year the Turlock Christian High girls varsity basketball team is in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division-IV semifinal round of the postseason after trouncing Freedom Christian on Tuesday night, 66-26.

Check out Wachusett. I think u can buy a night pass from 3 to 10. There aren't very many trails, but the ones that they do have are great. Lots of little side hits, rollers, and turns. The only thing is that it can get pretty crowded sometimes. If u can't go on a weekday, u should go later because around 7 to 8 everyone starts leaving.

Please note: Translations are handled by an external website and are not endorsed by Peterborough City Council.
In addition to maintaining the Peterborough housing register we also offer advice on securing accommodation with a private landlord. We work closely with a number of local landlords and agents who advise us of which properties they have available to rent. We can assist you with accessing this type of accommodation.
We recognise the importance of the Private Rented Sector and the essential role landlords play in providing safe, warm and healthy homes to the residents of Peterborough. We are keen to provide decent landlords operating within the borough with the recognition and support they deserve.
In addition we can help you contact landlords and act on your behalf when discussing fees, deposits, etc. Some private landlords will want you to pay a deposit, one month's rent in advance and an administration charge before they allow you to move into the property. We may be able to negotiate with the landlord regarding these fees.
We also offer a Rent deposit scheme if you cannot afford to pay, however this is not guaranteed and you need to confirm your eligibility with a Housing Needs Officer who will advise you as to whether you qualify, each case is assessed on an individual basis.
If you currently live in a private rented property, but are struggling to pay your rent you should come and discuss your situation with us as soon as possible. We can discuss the options available to you and try to prevent you from getting into arrears and losing your home.
In April 2007 a new law was introduced providing protection for tenants by preventing landlords and letting agents from unfairly withholding a deposit. The tenancy deposit protection scheme protects all Assured Shorthold Tenancies in England and Wales (covering most tenancies since 1997). Tenancy deposit protection was designed to ensure you get all or part of your deposit back, when you are entitled to it any disputes between you and your landlord or agent will be easier to resolve.
If you think that your landlord has failed to protect your deposit there a number of steps you can take. For more infomation click here.

Jean Charles de Menezes CCTV footage shown at inquest
Posted By admin On September 24, 2008 @ 10:39 am In Prison Planet | Comments Disabled
London Telegraph [1]
Wednesday, Sept 24, 2008
Footage of Jean Charles de Menezes travelling on a bus just minutes before he was shot dead by police was shown to an inquest jury today.
The CCTV images were captured as the 27-year-old Brazilian travelled to work from his south London home.
The grainy pictures showed Mr de Menezes wearing a blue denim jacket and black T-shirt as he boarded the number two bus in Tulse Hill.
(Article continues below)
Several minutes later the cameras captured an undercover surveillance officer, known only as Ivor, sitting a few seats in front of him.
In Brixton, a council street camera recorded Mr de Menezes getting off the bus in the High Street.
Mr de Menezes can be seen among a large crowd of people opposite Brixton Tube station, which he found was closed.
He is then caught on camera again as he re-boarded the bus and sat upstairs for the short journey to Stockwell.
But the third day of the inquest into his death heard that other cameras on the bus, Stockwell Tube station and the train were faulty.

"Anti-Aging" Pill SeroVital™-hgh Causing Quite A Stir At D.C. Women's Health Conference
Second, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed.
And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription hGH injections, it's still not cheap… SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month. But is it worth it? To most people, reducing wrinkles, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, strengthening bones, boosting mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive is a no brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the "established" medical community would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that's preliminary. But there's no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES younger, is... at the very least... irresistible.
The conference will continue through Sunday, March 24 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC. For more information about the conference visit www.academyofwomenshealth.org. For additional information about SeroVital-hgh, go to www.SeroVital.com or call 1-800-290-1832. If you're anxious to try SeroVital, use promo code WOCON2 at checkout for free shipping.*

Episode Information
NEW YORK – April 22, 2009- (Business Wire) Intelligence Squared U.S., the Oxford-style debate series sponsored by The Rosenkranz Foundation, announced the results of its fourth debate of the Spring 2009 season, "It's Wrong to Pay for Sex." Though there were compelling and passionate arguments on both sides of the issue, and the team in favor of the proposition was able to move a significant portion of the crowd to their side, in the end the audience was almost evenly split on this long-debated issue. At the conclusion of the evening's arguments, 45% of the audience voted for the proposition, 46% were against it and another 9% remained undecided.
This result was actually a huge victory for the team arguing that it is indeed wrong to pay for sex. Led by legendary feminist Catharine A. MacKinnon and prostitution researcher Melissa Farley, this group moved 25% of the audience to their point of view. In the pre-debate vote, 20% of the audience at The Rockefeller University's Caspary Auditorium voted for the proposition; 50% were against it and 30% were undecided.
Robert Rosenkranz, the founder of Intelligence Squared U.S. introduced the evening's proposition by focusing the audience and the panelists on the language of the motion, pointing to some of the complications regarding this issue that has been long-debated, not just in the United States, but around the world. Mr. Rosenkranz noted that "the notion of paying for sex can encompass such an incredibly broad range of ideas; from patrons of child prostitutes in Thai brothels, to rich Wall Streeters who support their girlfriends in graduate school. So there's such a huge range of meanings here, in the language of the resolution."
Sydney Barrows, the modern American "Mayflower Madame," who published a book of the same name, argued against the motion noting that "Freud once asked the question, what do women want? And I would argue that what women want is their own money."… "First of all, who's really taking advantage of who? I would argue that it is the women taking advantage of the men's need for us. After all, who ends up with the money? We do. Who's the one who sets the price? We do. They're the ones who shell out because they want what we have. And if they don't want to pay it, then they don't get it."
Author Wendy Shalit, speaking with the team in favor of the proposition, disagreed with this assessment. She said, "…Sex is a good thing, but we don't have to take advantage of the most vulnerable in our society when we choose our sexual partners. The devaluing of women and children's innocence that happens in a society that makes sex into a commodity, to validate that, and to declare that paying for sex is perfectly fine, is to say something about society's relationship to women and especially girls that I think would be detrimental."
Speaking for the motion were Ms. MacKinnon, the feminist and University of Michigan Law professor; Ms. Farley, a clinical psychologist and anti-prostitution researcher and activist; and Ms. Shalit, author of Girls Gone Mild and other books.
Joining Ms. Barrows speaking against the motion were Tyler Cowen, author and economics professor at George Mason University; and Lionel Tiger, author and the Charles Darwin professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University who coined the phrase "male bonding."
John Donvan, correspondent for ABC News Nightline, moderated.
A full transcript of the debate will be available at http://intelligencesquaredus.org/Event.aspx?Event=41
Key comments from this debate included:
"Prostitution is not a choice because the precise conditions that make a choice are absent; for example, equality with buyers, and physical safety, and real alternatives."… "It's wrong to set aside a special class of women, those who are the most vulnerable among us, for men's sexual use. What's wrong with paying for sex is it's the business of sexual exploitation." — Melissa Farley
"…All I want to protect here, is the notion that sex is not a disease, that sexual interaction is not necessarily an expletive, exploitative phenomenon, that it has its own legitimacy, its own agenda, and, it will and has continued, in much the same way and a sensible society will try to make it better"– Lionel Tiger
"Sex, when it's right, like friendship, is its own reward, it's mutual, it's equal in its diversity. You can't buy the real thing. In prostitution, women have sex with men they would never otherwise have sex with. The money thus acts as a form of force, not as a measure of consent. It acts like physical force does in rape." – Catharine MacKinnon
"In a way you can think of prostitution as a bit like, dare I say, banking. As we know here in New York, banking is very frequently badly regulated. And you find in many countries, believe it or not right here in Manhattan, you find examples of abuses, fraud, exploitation in banking. But again, the correct attitude or answer is not to say that all banking is wrong." – Tyler Cowen

Delgaians - Small elemental sprites that inhabit the lush world of Delgaia. In Delgaia's early creation, the first forms Delgaians all started out as Galaxias, or star children. But later these star children soon adapted to their new surroundings and have evolved throughout the centuries to better accommodate themselves to their environment. Each Delgaian are also born with a special mark on their bodies that vary in size and color that corresponds to their natural element. Young Delgaians average in a height of 2 feet tall whilst adults stand at around 4 feet tall. There are some special cases in which a Delgaian can reach over 5 feet tall, however, this is considered an abnormality.
Delgaia - A vast and lush world, magical and mysterious with equally curious inhabitants. There are several different sorts of terrains Delgaia is composed of and each Delgaian has adapted features of their environment to better adequate themselves to their specific habitats.
Teia - Teians are Delgians born from the earth and inhabit terrains such as grasslands and forests. They can even coexist along with Vahnns in swamp areas and Tokas in mountain valleys and passes while rarer species of Teians can also be found in desert areas. Naturally, they are quite wary of Pyya'rns but seem to have good relations with Rangians as their natural air magic can carry a Teaian's spores across the land. Physically, Teians are the smallest in stature along with being somewhat fragile. Their young are called seedlings and once they mature and bloom, they grow plant-like appendages on their bodies.

Wells Fargo & the Arbor Day Foundation
In 2010, Wells Fargo worked with the Arbor Day Foundation to support the planting of 73,575 trees.
2010 - Little River State Forest
In 2010, the Alabama Forestry Commission, with help from Arbor Day Foundation and Warranty Solutions, restored 25,225 longleaf pine to an area that was in desperate need of replanting. The project took place in two major areas of the forest and was completed in early spring, 2010. More than sixty acres of land have been restored and the natural beauty of Little River State Forest is now on the path to full recovery.
Forest Overview
Tucked away between Monroe and Escambia County in south Alabama is a little-known gem, Little River State Forest. Consisting of approximately 2,100 acres of longleaf pine forest, this area provides a unique setting for many outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, fishing, and horseback riding.
The forest suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Portions of the area were salvaged but many areas still needed to be reestablished to native longleaf pine. The surrounding forest and lake are major attractions to tourists and would be significantly improved by a renewed stand of trees.
2010 - Pike National Forest
In 2010, the U.S. Forest Service, with the help of Arbor Day Foundation and Warranty Solutions, planted over 11,600 trees in Pike National Forest.
Forest Overview
Resting on three million acres in central and southeast Colorado, the Pike & San Isabel National Forests offer visitors a diverse landscape, from the short grass prairies to the alpine tundra. The Windy-Ridge Bristlecone Pine Scenic Area – a unique grove of beautiful and ancient bristlecone pine trees – is located in the Pike National Forest. More than 60 percent of the water used by Denver residents originates in the forest as rain or snowmelt.
The Hayman Fire began June 8, 2002, and burned approximately 137,000 acres - the largest fire in Colorado's history. The fire burned within the upper South Platte watershed, the primary water source for the city of Denver. In moderate and high intensity burn areas, 100% of the trees were lost – and, along with them, future seed sources for natural regeneration. The ten year goal for Pike National Forest is to replant 10,000 acres with more than one million trees.
2010 - Modoc National Forest
In 2010, the U.S. Forest Service, with the help of Arbor Day Foundation and Warranty Solutions, planted over 36,750 trees in Modoc National Forest.
Forest Overview:
The Modoc National Forest consists of 1,979,407 acres and includes elevation changes from 4,300 feet to 9,934 feet above sea level. The forest is named for the county in which the greater part of the forest is situated. The county, in turn, is named after the native American Modoc tribe, the Modocs, who fought at the lava beds from 1872-1873. The lava beds are a national monument located within the boundaries of the forest.
Ponderosa pine trees are being planted to restore areas burned by the 2001 Modoc Complex Fire, 2003 Timber Fire, and 2007 Fletcher Fire. New trees are being planted to help the recovery of these scorched areas where natural regeneration is not taking place. The direct and immediate benefits of this project are improved water quality and restored wildlife habitat.

text: Inez GriffingKnown as "Dixie Lee" -- Legendary Madam of Wichita KansasUntil recently, the story of Dixie Lee was more folklore and legend than fact. In 2004, Ann Hathaway and William Griffing collaborated to research and co-author three articles that appeared in the "REGISTER" -- the quarterly publication of the Midwest Historical & Genealogical Society. Two of the three articles attempt to more fully explore the truth about Dixie Lee. "Part 1" provides information on Inez's ancestry, while "Part 2" reviews the highlights of her career as a Madame in both Wichita and Kansas City, Missouri. The third article is a brief biography of Annie Chambers, long regaled as the "Queen of the Red Light District" in Kansas City, who may very well have been Inez's mentor in the brothel business. A fourth link takes you to an ancestral chart for Inez Griffing. If you have any information to share about Inez Griffing that might add to the material collected here, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. |
