<p>It is beginning to become public knowledge that the Afghan Police routinely sodomize young males every Thursday night&#8230;A Canadian military chaplain named Jean Johns reported that Canadian soldiers under treatment for posttraumatic stress syndrome had been told by their commanding officers to &#8220;ignore&#8221; any assaults or rapes on Afghan civilians they had seen&#8230;</p>

<p> Canadian soldiers come home confiding that killing Taliban insurgents isn&#8217;t as stressful as knowing an innocent kid might be regularly raped by an Afghan cop inside a Canadian military base.</p>

<p>Cpl. Travis Schouten spent six months in late 2006 and early 2007 in Kandahar with the Royal Canadian Regiment&#8217;s Seven Platoon, Charles Company, a 38-soldier unit that took part in foot patrols in the grape groves and poppy fields west of Kandahar airfield.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Toronto Star recently reported Cpl. Travis Schouten&#8217;s experiences in Kandahar&#8230; </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a dusty shantytown,&#8221; he says. &#8220;The streets are full of people and wrecked vehicles and you get a lot of dead-eyed stares. There was no soccer with kids or anything. Our job was to kill the Taliban. We were there to fight. It was other guys who came in behind us who sat down for tea with village elders.&#8221;</p>
<p>What he saw would haunt him. He says he was told by an Afghan translator about &#8220;Man Sex Thursday,&#8221; a weekly routine in which Afghan soldiers, police and translators sexually abused young boys. Schouten is overwhelmed by guilt for not having intervened when he heard what he believes were the cries of boys being sexually assaulted, sounds he says were corroborated when he later saw a young boy, barely alive, with signs of rape trauma. His bowels and lower intestines had fallen out of his body.</p></blockquote>

<p>The observations of a journalist visiting Canadian bases in <a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/af.html">Afghanistan</a> (CIA link)was recently reported in the National Post&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Canadian soldiers in the main guard tower at forward operating base Wilson last summer winced when I asked about the sudden lineup of teenage boys along the mud walls of the neighbouring Afghan market.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wait a few minutes. You&#8217;ll see,&#8221; said one, his lip curling. &#8220;It&#8217;s disgusting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sure enough, a handful of uniformed Afghan police officers emerged from their rundown detachment, walked through the barricades and started chatting up the dozen or so teens, some looking decidedly pre-teen.</p>
<p>A few minutes after they returned, the selected kids were waved through the main gates and went straight inside the police station. An hour later, when I left the observation post, the boys were still inside.</p>
<p>This evening ritual is often derided by soldiers as man-love Thursdays.</p>
<p>Afghan officials insist the notion of men and boys getting together the night before the Muslim holy day for sex is a myth. And, sure, it&#8217;s theoretically possible the cops were merely good-deed-doers giving these teens reading lessons.</p>
<p>But Canadian soldiers insisted we had just witnessed the regular Thursday evening negotiation for sex between Afghan men and boys, apparently for gifts or money.</p></blockquote>

<p>Canadian soldiers serving in Afghanistan have been ordered by commanding officers &#8220;to ignore&#8221; incidents of sexual assault among the civilian population, says Jean Johns a military chaplain who counsels troops returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder.(<a href="http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/443954">source</a>)</p>

<p>Man-boy homosexuality has flourished anew in the aftermath of Taliban zero-tolerance laws, albeit a selectively punished offence in that era. Warlords again parade cities with teenage boys known as an &#8220;ashna&#8221; by their side.</p>
<p>The strict social separation and severe consequences for premarital sex with women have given rise to the cultural wrinkle of men used for sexual recreation and women reserved for reproduction.</p>
<p>But that hardly makes it right when Afghan boys are police rape victims.(<a href="http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=4637439f-5bda-46bd-b325-8e0b7fd7bb55&#038;p=2">source</a>)</p>

<p>What Do you Think ?</p>
<p>Is the sodomizing of young boys a legitimate cultural difference or are the Afghan allies in the fight against the Taliban cut from the same cloth as the brutal Taliban&#8230;</p>

<p>It was exactly 40 years ago, June 5th 1968 that Bobby Kennedy a shoe-in to be elected President of the U.S.A. was murdered in a brutal assasination after winning the California Primary&#8230;</p>
<p><img src='http://www.planetearthpeaceparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/rfk-death.jpg' alt='rfk-death.jpg' /><br />

<p>To this day we do not know who assasinated Robert Francis Kennedy or why&#8230;.</p>

<p>Assassination Abnormalities</p>
<p>Powder burns on Kennedy&#8217;s clothing reveal that all three of his wounds were from a gun fired from 0 to 1-1/2 inches away. And yet, all witnesses claim that Sirhan, who was in front of Kennedy, never got closer than three feet away.</p>
<p>Sirhan&#8217;s gun could hold only eight bullets. Seven bullets were removed from victims, an eighth bullet was traced through two ceilings into airspace, and two more bullets were identified as lodged in the door frame of the pantry by both LAPD and FBI personnel.<br />
Three bullets were found in Robert Kennedy, and a fourth grazed his suit jacket. The upward angle of each trajectory was close to 80 degrees. And yet, all witnesses claim Sirhan&#8217;s gun was completely horizontal for his first two shots, after which his gun hand was repeatedly slammed against the top of a steam table.<br />
All four shots; the fatal penetration to the brain, the shot that passed through the right shoulder pad of the Senator&#8217;s coat, and two additional bullets that entered Kennedy&#8217;s body were all fired from the back and all produced powder residue patterns which indicated that they were all fired from a distance of only a few inches. Since RFK was walking towards Sirhan, and his body was always facing Sirhan during the shots even as he fell backwards it is impossible these shots originated from Sirhan&#8217;s weapon.</p>
<p>The results of the 1968 test firing of Sirhan&#8217;s gun were missing.</p>
<p>The test gun used for ballistics comparison and identification was destroyed.</p>
<p>Over 90% of the audio taped witness testimony was lost or destroyed. Of the 3470 interviews the LAPD conducted, only 301 were preserved. </p>
<p>On August 21, 1968, 2400 photographs from the original investigation were burned, in the medical-waste incinerator at LA County General Hospital.(<a href="http://www.bobby-kennedy.com/rfkassassination.htm">information sources</a>) </p>

<p>After his brother&#8217;s assassination in late 1963, Kennedy continued as Attorney General under President Johnson for nine months. He resigned in September 1964 and was elected to the United States Senate from New York that November. He broke with Johnson over the Vietnam War, among other issues.</p>
<p>After Eugene McCarthy nearly defeated Johnson in the New Hampshire Primary in early 1968, Kennedy announced his own campaign for president, seeking the nomination of the Democratic Party. Kennedy defeated McCarthy in the critical California primary but was shot shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, dying on June 6.</p>

<p>Kennedy declared his candidacy on March 16, 1968, stating,</p>
<blockquote><p> &#8220;I do not run for the Presidency merely to oppose any man, but to propose new policies. I run because I am convinced that this country is on a perilous course and because I have such strong feelings about what must be done, and I feel that I&#8217;m obliged to do all I can.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>During the Cuban Missile Crisis Bobby Kennedy proved himself to be a gifted politician, with an ability to obtain compromises from key figures in the hawk camp concerning their position of aggression. The trust the President placed in him on matters of negotiation was such that Robert Kennedy&#8217;s role in the Crisis is today seen as having been of vital importance in securing a blockade, which averted a full military engagement between the US and Soviet Russia. His clandestine meetings with members of the Soviet government continued to provide a key link to Khrushchev during even the darkest moments of the Crisis, in which the threat of nuclear strikes was considered a very present reality.</p>
<p>On the last night of the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy was so grateful for his brother&#8217;s work in averting nuclear war that he summed it up by saying, &#8220;Thank God for Bobby&#8221;.</p>

<p>In September 1962, he sent U.S. Marshals and troops to Oxford, Mississippi, to enforce a Federal court order admitting the first African American student, James Meredith, to the University of Mississippi. Riots ensued during the period of Meredith&#8217;s admittance, which resulted in hundreds of injuries and two deaths. Yet Kennedy remained adamant concerning the rights of black students to enjoy the benefits of all levels of the educational system.</p>

<p>After the assassination of President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy undertook a 1966 tour of South Africa in which he championed the cause of the anti-Apartheid movement. The tour was greeted with international praise at a time when few politicians dared to entangle themselves in the politics of South Africa. Kennedy spoke out against the oppression of the native population and was welcomed by the black population as though a visiting head of state.</p>

<p>Robert Kennedy was committed to the advancement of human rights worldwide. He traveled to Eastern Europe, Latin America and South Africa to expound upon his belief that all people should have a basic right to participate or criticize their government without fear.</p>

<p>RFK addressed the needs of the poor, the young, racial minorities and Native Americans. He focused the American people to consider the plight of the poor by going into urban ghettos, Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta and migrant workers&#8217; camps.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There are children in the Mississippi Delta whose bellies are swollen with hunger &#8230; Many of them cannot go to school because they have no clothes or shoes. These conditions are not confined to rural Mississippi. They exist in dark tenements in Washington, D.C., within sight of the Capitol, in Harlem, in South Side Chicago, in Watts. There are children in each of these areas who have never been to school, never seen a doctor or a dentist. There are children who have never heard conversation in their homes, never read or even seen a book.&#8221; &#8211; RFK </p></blockquote>

<p>On April 4, 1968, Kennedy learned of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and gave a heartfelt, impromptu speech in Indianapolis&#8217;s inner city, in which Kennedy called for a reconciliation between the races. Riots broke out in 60 cities in the wake of King&#8217;s death, but not in Indianapolis, a fact many attribute to the effect of this speech.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Laws can embody standards; governments can enforce laws — but the final task is not a task for government. It is a task for each and every one of us. Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted — when we tolerate what we know to be wrong — when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy, or too frightened — when we fail to speak up and speak out — we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.&#8221; </p></blockquote>

<p> His brother, Senator Ted Kennedy, eulogized him with the words, &#8220;My brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.&#8221;</p>

<p> On August 6, 1945, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enola_Gay">Enola Gay</a> departed Tinian Island in the Marianas with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tibbets">Tibbets</a> at the controls at 2:45 a.m. for Hiroshima, <a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ja.html">Japan</a>(C.I.A. link). The atomic bomb, codenamed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boy">Little Boy</a>, was dropped over Hiroshima at 8:15 a.m. local time, killing about 140,000 Japanese, with many more dying later.</p>

<p>On August 6, 1945, 8.15 am, the uranium atom bomb exploded 580 metres above the city of Hiroshima with a blinding flash, creating a giant fireball and sending surface temperatures to 4,000C. Fierce heat rays and radiation burst out in every direction, unleashing a high pressure shockwave, vaporising tens of thousands of people and animals, melting buildings and streetcars, reducing a 400-year-old city to dust.</p>

<p>By August 8, 1945, newspapers in the US were reporting that broadcasts from Radio Tokyo had described the destruction observed in Hiroshima. &#8220;Practically all living things, human and animal, were literally seared to death,&#8221; Japanese radio announcers said in a broadcast captured by Allied sources.[17]</p>

<p>In 1945 the BBC reported the following regarding the Nuclear bombing of Hiroshima&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote><p>
              1945: US drops atomic bomb on Hiroshima</p>
<p>The first atomic bomb has been dropped by a United States aircraft on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.<br />
President Harry S Truman, announcing the news from the cruiser, USS Augusta, in the mid-Atlantic, said the device was more than 2,000 times more powerful than the largest bomb used to date. </p>
<p>An accurate assessment of the damage caused has so far been impossible due to a huge cloud of impenetrable dust covering the target. Hiroshima is one of the chief supply depots for the Japanese army. </p>
<p>The bomb was dropped from an American B-29 Superfortress, known as Enola Gay, at 0815 local time. The plane&#8217;s crew say they saw a column of smoke rising and intense fires springing up. </p>
<p>The President said the atomic bomb heralded the &#8220;harnessing of the basic power of the universe&#8221;. It also marked a victory over the Germans in the race to be first to develop a weapon using atomic energy. </p>
<p>President Truman went on to warn the Japanese the Allies would completely destroy their capacity to make war. </p>
<p>The Potsdam declaration issued 10 days ago, which called for the unconditional surrender of Japan, was a last chance for the country to avoid utter destruction, the President said. </p>
<p>&#8220;If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air the like of which has never been seen on Earth. Behind this air attack will follow by sea and land forces in such number and power as they have not yet seen, but with fighting skill of which they are already aware.&#8221; </p>
<p>The British Prime Minister <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_Attlee">Clement Attlee</a>, who has replaced Winston Churchill at Number 10, read out a statement prepared by his predecessor to MPs in the Commons. </p>
<p>It said the atomic project had such great potential the government felt it was right to pursue the research and to pool information with atomic scientists in the US. </p>
<p>As Britain was considered within easy reach of Germany and its bombers, the decision was made to set up the bomb-making plants in the US. </p>
<p>The statement continued: &#8220;By God&#8217;s mercy, Britain and American science outpaced all German efforts. These were on a considerable scale, but far behind. The possession of these powers by the Germans at any time might have altered the result of the war.&#8221; </p>
<p>Mr Churchill&#8217;s statement said considerable efforts had been made to disrupt German progress &#8211; including attacks on plants making constituent parts of the bomb. </p>
<p>He ended: &#8220;We must indeed pray that these awful agencies will be made to conduce peace among the nations and that instead of wreaking measureless havoc upon the entire globe they become a perennial fountain of world prosperity.&#8221; </p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>The proclamation stated that the full force of the British Empire, the United States of America,and National Government of the Republic of China would strike the final blows upon Japan.</p>
<p>&#8220;We call upon the government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional surrender of all Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is prompt and utter destruction.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;&#8230;The might that now converges on Japan is immeasurably greater than that which, when applied to the resisting Nazis, necessarily laid waste to the lands, the industry and the method of life of the whole German people. The full application of our military power, backed by our resolve, will mean the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed forces and just as inevitably the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland&#8230;&#8221; </p>
<p>Furthermore:</p>
<p>Militarism in Japan must end.<br />
Japan would be occupied until the basic objectives set out in this proclamation were met.<br />
The terms of the Cairo Declaration would be carried out and Japanese sovereignty would be limited to the islands of Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū, Shikoku, and such minor islands as the Allies determined.<br />
The Japanese army would be completely disarmed and allowed to return home.<br />
Those who had led Japan to war must be permanently and finally discredited, and abandoned.<br />
War criminals would be punished including those who had &#8220;visited cruelties upon our prisoners&#8221;.<br />
Freedom of speech, of religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights shall be established.<br />
Japan should be permitted to maintain a viable industrial economy but not industries which would enable her to re-arm for war.<br />
The treaty was not intended to enslave the Japanese as a race or as a nation.<br />
Allied forces would be withdrawn from Japan as soon as these objectives have been accomplished </p></blockquote>

<p>The following 7/25/45 entry from the personal diary of U.S.A. &#8220;The Buck Stops Here&#8221; President Harry S. Truman shows some insight into his decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>. We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark. </p>
<p>&#8220;Anyway we &#8216;think&#8217; we have found the way to cause a disintegration of the atom. An experiment in the New Mexican desert was startling &#8211; to put it mildly. Thirteen pounds of the explosive caused the complete disintegration of a steel tower 60 feet high, created a crater 6 feet deep and 1,200 feet in diameter, knocked over a steel tower 1/2 mile away and knocked men down 10,000 yards away. The explosion was visible for more than 200 miles and audible for 40 miles and more. </p>
<p>&#8220;The weapon is to be used against Japan between now and August 10th. I have told the Sec. of War, Mr. Stimson, to use it so that military objectives and soldiers and sailors are the target and not women and children. Even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic, we as the leader of the world for the common welfare cannot drop this terrible bomb on the old capital or the new [Kyoto or Tokyo]. </p>
<p>He [Stimson] and I are in accord. The target will be a purely military one and we will issue a warning statement [known as the Potsdam Proclamation] asking the Japs to surrender and save lives. I&#8217;m sure they will not do that, but we will have given them the chance. It is certainly a good thing for the world that Hitler&#8217;s crowd or Stalin&#8217;s did not discover this atomic bomb. It seems to be the most terrible thing ever discovered, but it can be made the most useful.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

House Press Release on Hiroshima<br />
Statement by the President of the United States</p>
<p><img src='http://www.planetearthpeaceparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/holocaust123.jpg' alt='holocaust123.jpg' /><br />
                                (<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a4/Holocaust123.JPG">source</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British &#8220;Grand Slam&#8221; which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare.</p>
<p>The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. They have been repaid many fold. And the end is not yet. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. In their present form these bombs are now in production and even more powerful forms are in development. </p>
<p>It is an atomic bomb. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East. </p>
<p>Before 1939, it was the accepted belief of scientists that it was theoretically possible to release atomic energy. But no one knew any practical method of doing it. By 1942, however, we knew that the Germans were working feverishly to find a way to add atomic energy to the other engines of war with which they hoped to enslave the world. But they failed. We may be grateful to Providence that the Germans got the V-1&#8242;s and the V-2&#8242;s late and in limited quantities and even more grateful that they did not get the atomic bomb at all. </p>
<p>The battle of the laboratories held fateful risks for us as well as the battles of the air, land and sea, and we have now won the battle of the laboratories as we have won the other battles. </p>
<p>Beginning in 1940, before Pearl Harbor, scientific knowledge useful in war was pooled between the United States and Great Britain, and many priceless helps to our victories have come from that arrangement. Under that general policy the research on the atomic bomb was begun. With American and British scientists working together we entered the race of discovery against the Germans. </p>
<p>The United States had available the large number of scientists of distinction in the many needed areas of knowledge. It had the tremendous industrial and financial resources necessary for the project and they could be devoted to it without undue impairment of other vital war work. In the United States the laboratory work and the production plants, on which a substantial start had already been made, would be out of reach of enemy bombing, while at that time Britain was exposed to constant air attack and was still threatened with the possibility of invasion. For these reasons Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt agreed that it was wise to carry on the project here. We now have two great plants and many lesser works devoted to the production of atomic power. Employment during peak construction numbered 125,000 and over 65,000 individuals are even now engaged in operating the plants. Many have worked there for two and a half years. Few know what they have been producing. They see great quantities of material going in and they see nothing coming out of these plants, for the physical size of the explosive charge is exceedingly small. We have spent two billion dollars on the greatest scientific gamble in history &#8211; we won. </p>
<p>But the greatest marvel is not the size of the enterprise, its secrecy, nor its cost, but the achievement of scientific brains in putting together infinitely complex pieces of knowledge held by many men in different fields of science into a workable plan. And hardly less marvelous has been the capacity of industry to design, and of labor to operate, the machines and methods to do things never done before so that the brain child of many minds came forth in physical shape and performed as it was supposed to do. Both science and industry worked under the direction of the United States Army, which achieved a unique success in managing so diverse a problem in the advancement of knowledge in an amazingly short time. It is doubtful if such another combination could be got together in the world. What has been done is the greatest achievement of organized science in history. It was done under high pressure and without failure. </p>
<p>We are now prepared to obliterate more rapidly and completely every productive enterprise the Japanese have above ground in any city. We shall destroy their docks, their factories, and their communications. Let there be no mistake; we shall completely destroy Japan&#8217;s power to make war. </p>
<p>It was to spare the Japanese people from utter destruction that the ultimatum of July 26 was issued at Potsdam. Their leaders promptly rejected that ultimatum. If they do not now accept our terms they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth. Behind this air attack will follow sea and land forces in such numbers and power as they have not yet seen and with the fighting skill of which they are already well aware. </p>
<p>The Secretary of War, who has kept in personal touch with all phases of this project, will immediately make public a statement giving further details. </p>
<p>His statement will give facts concerning the sites of Oak Ridge near Knoxville, Tennessee, and at Richland near Pasco, Washington, and an installation near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although the workers at the sites have been making materials to be used in producing the greatest destructive force in history they have not themselves been in danger beyond that of many other occupations, for the utmost care has been taken of their safety. </p>
<p>The fact that we can release atomic energy ushers in a new era in man&#8217;s understanding of nature&#8217;s forces. Atomic energy may in the future supplement the power that now comes from coal, oil, and falling water, but at present it cannot be produced on a basis to compete with them commercially. Before that comes there must be a long period of intensive research. </p>
<p>It has never been the habit of the scientists of this country or the policy of the Government to withhold from the world scientific knowledge. Normally, therefore, everything about the work with atomic energy would be made public. </p>
<p>But under present circumstances it is not intended to divulge the technical processes of production or all the military applications, pending further examination of possible methods of protecting us and the rest of the world from the danger of sudden destruction. I shall recommend that the Congress of the United States consider promptly the establishment of an appropriate commission to control the production and use of atomic power within the United States. I shall give further consideration and make further recommendations to the Congress as to how atomic power can become a powerful and forceful influence towards the maintenance of world peace. </p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>Why the bomb was needed or justified:</p></blockquote>
<p>The Japanese had demonstrated near-fanatical resistance, fighting to almost the last man on Pacific islands, committing mass suicide on Saipan and unleashing kamikaze attacks at Okinawa. Fire bombing had killed 100,000 in Tokyo with no discernible political effect. Only the atomic bomb could jolt Japan&#8217;s leadership to surrender.</p>
<p>With only two bombs ready (and a third on the way by late August 1945) it was too risky to &#8220;waste&#8221; one in a demonstration over an unpopulated area.</p>
<p>An invasion of Japan would have caused casualties on both sides that could easily have exceeded the toll at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.</p>
<p>The two targeted cities would have been firebombed anyway.</p>
<p>Immediate use of the bomb convinced the world of its horror and prevented future use when nuclear stockpiles were far larger.</p>
<p>The bomb&#8217;s use impressed the Soviet Union and halted the war quickly enough that the USSR did not demand joint occupation of Japan.</p>

<blockquote><p>Why the bomb was not needed, or unjustified:</p></blockquote>
<p>Japan was ready to call it quits anyway. More than 60 of its cities had been destroyed by conventional bombing, the home islands were being blockaded by the American Navy, and the Soviet Union entered the war by attacking Japanese troops in Manchuria.</p>
<p>American refusal to modify its &#8220;unconditional surrender&#8221; demand to allow the Japanese to keep their emperor needlessly prolonged Japan&#8217;s resistance.</p>
<p>A demonstration explosion over Tokyo harbor would have convinced Japan&#8217;s leaders to quit without killing many people.</p>
<p>Even if Hiroshima was necessary, the U.S. did not give enough time for word to filter out of its devastation before bombing Nagasaki.</p>
<p>The bomb was used partly to justify the $2 billion spent on its development.</p>
<p>The two cities were of limited military value. Civilians outnumbered troops in Hiroshima five or six to one.</p>
<p>Japanese lives were sacrificed simply for power politics between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>Conventional firebombing would have caused as much significant damage without making the U.S. the first nation to use nuclear weapons.<br />

Jammie Thomas of Brainerd, Minn., left, was sued $9,250 US for each of 24 songs in a <a href="http://www.riaa.com/aboutus.php">Recording Industry Association</a> of America lawsuit.</p>
<p>In a bizzare interpretation of United States law rivalling the O.J. Simpson verdict in terms of sheer illogical idiocy in Duluth, Minnesota(a hotbed of illegal file sharing copywrite violation crimes) on October 4, 2007, the final day of her trial, U.S. District Court Judge Michael J. Davis and the jury charged <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammie_Thomas">Jammie Thomas</a>, age 30, is a Native American woman from Brainerd, Minnesota. with $222,000 worth of damages, which came to $9,250 per song.</p>
<p>There was absolutely  no evidence at all proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Jammie Thomas downloaded the 24 songs<br />
that caused the $222,000 worth of damages to the recording moguls syndicate&#8230;.</p>

<p>In a recent interview Reuters reported that:</p>
<blockquote><p>
 For the first time in nearly a decade, hunters on Saturday begin tracking and killing buffalo on the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where federal wildlife managers plan to cut the herd from 1,200 to 500 over the next five years.</p>
<p>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials say buffalo at the refuge, home to one of the nation&#8217;s largest free-roaming herds of the symbol of the American West, must be killed because of overgrazing and because they carry diseases that could be transmitted to domestic livestock.</p>
<p>The hunt aims to cull 300 buffalo &#8212; also called bison &#8212; by December.</p></blockquote>

<p>Currently there is less than 4000 wild buffalo in North America&#8230;There are approximately 350.000 captive bison being raised for the livestock/meat industry&#8230;.(<a href="http://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/factsheets/overpopulation.html">source</a>)<br />

<p>Millions of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plains_Indian">Native north americans</a> lived quite well for thousands of years prior to Columbus&#8217;s arrival almost solely on the renewable sustenance provided by the buffalo herds&#8230;.</p>
<p>The president of Venezuela courageously changed Venezuela&#8217;s  Oct. 12 Columbus Day to the Day of Indigenous Resistance.</p>
<p>&#8220;They executed an aboriginal every 10 minutes &#8211; the biggest genocide in registered in history&#8221; , Chavez said as he described how Spanish, Portuguese and English invaders slaughtered millions of native inhabitants. The indigenous population of the Americas plummeted from 100 million at the time of Columbus&#8217; arrival to just three million 150 years later.(<a href="http://www.danielnpaul.com/ChristopherColumbus.html">source</a>)</p>

<p>What do you think ?</p>
<p>If the Yellowstone wild bison herd does actually need culling isn&#8217;t there a better solution ?</p>
<p>Can we not relocate some of the bison and establish some new wild bison herds ?</p>
<p>Or if that is not feasable can we at least allow some young Native americans to hunt them and reembrace their culture&#8230;</p>
<p>There has got to be a better solution&#8230;.</p>

<p>After all the hoopla and hundreds of millions of dollars spent wastefully on security measures alone <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/09/20070909.html">George W. Bush </a>opens the summit meeting by mistakenly thanking the Prime Minister for hosting the &#8220;<a href="http://www.opec.org/home/">OPEC</a>&#8221; summit meeting&#8230;..</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba4zYf3du_8">see the video Bush Bloopers in Australia &#8211; OPEC or APEC?</a> </p></blockquote>
<p>This was reminiscent of George W. Bush thanking Queen Elizabeth for visiting the U.S.A. in 1776 to celebrate the bi-centennial&#8230;</p>

<p>Almost as bizzare as Bush&#8217;s opec foohpah was Australian Prime Minister John Howard&#8217;s announcement of the &#8220;milestone&#8221; signing of the &#8220;Sydney Declaration on Climate Change, Energy Security, and Clean Development&#8221;</p>

<p>Reuters reported on The &#8220;Sydney APEC Leaders&#8217; Declaration on Climate Change, Energy Security and Clean Development&#8221;  by first stating that :</p>

<p>Considering the APEC leaders oversee approximately 60% of Planet Earth&#8217;s economic wealth their unwillingness or inability to do anything about Global Warming with the wealth they oversee is rather alarming&#8230;.&#8221;Long-term aspirational goals&#8221; is a very eloquent literary term but unfortunately immediate action is required to physically address Global Warming&#8230;</p>

<blockquote><p>Here is a list of the main points:</p>
<p>CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY SECURITY AND CLEAN DEVELOPMENT</p>
<p>&#8211; APEC nations, including China and the United States, agree to work to achieve a common understanding on a long-term aspirational global emissions reduction goal to pave the way for an effective post-2012 international arrangement.</p>
<p>&#8211; Reaffirm commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Post-Kyoto arrangement needs to reflect differences in economic and social conditions among economies.</p>
<p>ACTION AGENDA</p>
<p>&#8211; Work towards achieving an APEC-wide regional aspirational goal of a reduction in energy intensity of at least 25 percent by 2030, with 2005 as the base year.</p>
<p>&#8211; Work to achieve an APEC-wide aspirational goal of increasing forest cover in the region by at least 20 million hectares of all types of forests by 2020. If achieved, this would store about 1.4 billion tonnes of carbon, equal to 11 percent of annual global emissions in 2004.</p>
<p>&#8211; Set up Asia-Pacific networks to strengthen research on clean fossil fuels, renewable energy sources and forestry.</p></blockquote>

<p>For those of you wondering what &#8220;Energy Intensity&#8221; could possibly mean&#8230;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Energy intensity refers to the amount of energy used to produce a unit of one dollar of gross domestic product (GDP).</p></blockquote>

<p>If the APEC leaders actually plant 20 million hectares of trees it somewhat pales in comparison to what has been chopped down but nonetheless would be a start. However this reforestation plan is merely an empty &#8220;aspiration&#8221;.</p>
<p>More importantly they should be putting and immediate stop to clear-cutting logging practices&#8230;.At the very least in their own countries&#8230;.Perhaps they could influence Brazil to stop chopping down the Amazon Rainforest&#8230;.</p>

<p>Cutting down old growth forests and replacing them with trees that will more than likely manufactured in China is silly&#8230;.</p>

<p>Although not mentioned in any of the APEC leaders aspirational solutions to solve Global Warming rumor has it many Apec countries are contemplating building Nuclear Power Plants&#8230;.</p>
<p>Russia is apparently building &#8220;Floating nuclear power stations&#8221;</p>

<p>The Honorable <a href="http://www.pm.gov.au/">John Howard MP Prime Minister of Australia</a> eloquently extends the following invitation on a official government web page :</p>
<blockquote><p>On behalf of the Australian Government and the people of Australia, I warmly welcome your participation in the <a href="http://www.apec2007.org/bsm/default.aspx">APEC Australia 2007™ Business Summit</a> to be held in <a href="http://www.opendi.com.au/sydney/">Sydney</a> from 6-7 September 2007, as part of Australia&#8217;s hosting of the<br />
APEC Australia 2007™ year. </p></blockquote>
<p>Apperently some of us are more welcome than others&#8230;..</p>
<p>The BBC reported that :</p>
<blockquote><p>A concrete and steel fence is being built across the centre of <a href="http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/">Sydney</a> amid a massive security effort for a summit of Asia-Pacific leaders next week.</p>
<p>The 5km (three-mile) barrier is intended to protect the 21 leaders attending the meeting from thousands of protesters expected at the summit. </p></blockquote>

<p>In this map of the fencing that will be active on the<a href="http://www.apec.org/"> APEC</a> long weekend, the large red lines represent fencing. No cars will be able to get access to these streets.</p>

<p>The CBC reported that :</p>
<blockquote><p>The Sydney Opera House and <a href="http://www.hotel.com.au">hotels</a> that will house more than 5,000 delegates will be hidden behind the barrier for the Sept. 2-9 meetings.</p></blockquote>
<p>and</p>
<blockquote><p>About 3,500 police, backed by 1,500 counter-terrorism and special forces soldiers, will ensure protesters stay away from the security zone marked by the fence.</p></blockquote>

<p>and that&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A 45-nautical-mile restricted air space will be enforced by fighter aircraft and police helicopters. A navy mine sweeper will patrol Sydney Harbor, along with navy divers, water police and special forces.</p>
<p>The city&#8217;s underground railway network will be closed during the APEC weekend and motorists have been warned to stay out of the city as many roads will be closed.</p></blockquote>

<p>Australian students are organizing a protest against George W. Bush&#8217;s presence in Australia and his policies :</p>

<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7YqqUeOvY4">click here to see the students protest video</a></p></blockquote>
<p>To further add to the chaos George W. Bush is arriving two days earlier so he can keep important commitments back in the U.S.A  regarding Iraq.</p>
<blockquote><p>click here to see the video &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbQ0iQYASz0&#038;mode=related&#038;search=">Bush to arrive early for APEC</a>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>Considering just the Australian students’ WAG Protest regarding George W. Bush’s presence in Australia and policies it would be easy to blame all these draconian security measures entirely on George W. Bush.</p>
<p>However there has been protests in prior APEC summits even before George W. Bush was elected ? for his first term.</p>
<blockquote><p>click here to see the video &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pITZ8mziNaA&#038;mode=related&#038;search=">anti apec riot chile 2004</a>&#8220;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CWNKp0Uyyw">click here to see CBC coverage  of the 1997 APEC Protest</a></p></blockquote>
<p>What do you think ? Are these wasteful draconian security measures that trample on the rights of Australians and legal concerned visitors to Australia to protest really necessary ?</p>
<p>Irregardless this writer will not be inviting George W. Bush and company over to my house for dinner anytime soon.</p>

<blockquote><p>About 1,200 protesters were in the small resort town near Ottawa as <a href="http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/default.asp">Prime Minister Stephen Harper </a>met with <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/">U.S. President George W.

<p>The CBC further reported that :</p>
<blockquote><p>Organizers of the protests at the North American leaders&#8217; summit in Montebello, Que., say they have video that shows police disguised as masked demonstrators tried to incite violence on Monday.</p></blockquote>
<p>            (<a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2007/08/22/ot-police-070822.html#skip300x250">source of above quotes and below image</a>)</p>

<p>One day later the CBC reported that :</p>
<blockquote><p>Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.</p>
<p>However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence.</p></blockquote>

<p>What do you think ? Are these nazi like security measures interfering with the constitutional and democratic rights of Canadians to peacefully protest symptomatic of the times we are living in or merely the consequences of inviting George W. Bush over for dinner ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>   The words &#8220;I&#8217;ve Got You Under My Skin&#8221;(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X--QWXGjXfg">hear Frank Sinatra sing I&#8217;ve Got You Under My Skin</a>) usually reminds most people of pleasant memories with their lover as well as the listening pleasure people have experienced for decades listening to Frank Sinatra sing I&#8217;ve Got You Under My Skin.</p>
<p>   Nowadays people are beginning to associate those words with &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgellons">Morgellons</a>&#8221; a new and relatively unknown skin disorder that has produced &#8220;unusual fibers&#8221; in the lesions of people suffering from their this disorder.</p>
<p>  It is almost reminiscent of the 1979 epic horror film &#8220;Alien&#8221; when the male crew member is impregnated by the alien and gives birth to its offspring.(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHI9yJiA4_w">see that horrifying scene where the male crew member gives birth to the alien&#8217;s offspring</a>)</p>
<p>   Recently the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention">CDC</a>(<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/">the U.S.A. government&#8217;s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>) made the following announcement regarding Morgellons :</p>
<blockquote><p>Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) received an increased number of inquiries regarding an unexplained skin condition that some refer to as “Morgellons.” Persons who suffer from this unexplained skin condition report a range of cutaneous (skin) symptoms, including crawling, biting, and stinging sensations; granules, threads, or black speck-like materials on or beneath the skin; and/or skin lesions (e.g., rashes or sores). In addition to skin manifestations, some sufferers also report fatigue, mental confusion, short term memory loss, joint pain, and changes in vision.</p>
<p>The etiology of this condition is unknown, and the medical community has insufficient information to determine whether persons who identify themselves as having this condition have a common cause for their symptoms or share common risk factors.</p>
<p>To assist in learning more about this condition, CDC plans to conduct an epidemiologic investigation and has convened a multidisciplinary working group to provide guidance on the design of the investigation. The goals of the investigation are to better characterize the clinical and epidemiologic features of this condition and to generate hypotheses about factors that may cause or contribute to sufferers’ symptoms.</p></blockquote>

<p>   Dr. Randy Wymore compares the the &#8220;fibers&#8221; extracted from &#8220;Morgellons Patients&#8221; to a variety of clothing fibers that may have entered the Morgellons Patients open wounds by contact in the below CNN video :</p>

<p>According to ABC News </p>
<blockquote><p>the syndrome did not get a name until 2002, when the &#8216;Morgellons&#8217; was selected by Mary Leitao, a South Carolina woman who founded the Morgellons Research Foundation.</p>
<p>It came from a 1674 medical paper that described symptoms somewhat like Morgellons, Leitao said. &#8220;I never expected it (the name) to stick,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Leitao&#8217;s organization has become a leading source of information and research advocacy, but it too has become controversial.</p></blockquote>
