326. Inflation and Debt: Stealing People's Wealth
October 02, 2009
Inflation: “Debt” by Design Through the effects of a hidden tax called "inflation" (i.e. monetary theft by deception), the American economy is intentionally being destroyed from within and its people are being forced into servitude. “Leadership" of both political parties (democratic and republican) have stolen the wealth of their citizens. More and more officials are enjoying “engineered theft”, including presidents, senators and Congressional representatives, governors, and judges.

327. Going for Change
October 02, 2009
When Barrack Obama was elected president things the way we see it has changed for good. What people are trying to grasp as statements without proof regarding the clear obstruction on racism has become tangible by giving the presidential seat to an African American. This time another issue arises in the United States as the man who made American Presidential History nominates for the Supreme Court’s seat to yet another person from a different race—Sonia Sotomayor.
Discrimination has been one of the rampant reasons why someone qualified, yet who happens to be from another race, just can’t s... (read more)

328. Sign Oil and Gas Leases with Care
October 01, 2009
The term mineral encompasses fossil fuels - including coal, its derivatives, oil and natural gas. Minerals also comprise metals and their ores, such as iron, copper and gold. Non metals like gypsum and limestone also fall under minerals, as do salt, stones, gravel, peat, sand and marl. In the United States, the ownership of minerals under a land rests with the land owner, giving rise to terms like surface and mineral rights. Mineral rights can be sold, leased, bequeathed and gifted independently of surface rights. Therefore, if you own surface rights it does not necessarily follow that you ow... (read more)

330. Will Innovation Transform Energy?
October 02, 2009
Something big is going on throughout the energy business. It’s a great bubbling of innovation in every part of the industry. This bubbling is the brew of many different ingredients-from the impact of high prices and geopolitical uncertainty to the growing focus on “clean tech” and climate change. Will Innovation Transform Energy?
Though invisible to the consumer, an enormous amount of technological advance is embedded in every gallon of gasoline. Less than 30 years ago, the absolute “deep water” frontier for drilling was 600 feet of water.
Today, companies are working in what is call... (read more)

October 02, 2009
Citizens of the United States may not agree on many things, but most citizens as well as the government of the U.S. continue to hold the many sacrifices of our military veterans in highest regard.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is in charge of administering this program, which has been in effec... (read more)

334. Prepare your spirit
October 01, 2009
A month before the presidential and legislative elections of October 2006, politics in Brazil is in a bad way. The prevailing atmosphere of cynicism and mistrust is symbolized in recent comments by well-known cultural figures who disparage any talk of ethics in public life. Wagner Tiso, a famous musician, conveys the mood: "I am not worried about any kind of ethics," he said. Paulo Betti, an equally well-known actor, reinforces it: "Politics does not exist without dirty hands. There is no way of doing it without putting your hands in the shit."If the reputation of politics has ever been lower ... (read more)

335. Obama's healthcare plan is fraudulently regulating at the wrong end of the problem

Obama’s healthcare plan is fraudulently regulating at the wrong end of the problem What has been completely lost in all the over-analytical, economic-based debates surrounding healthcare insurance by journalists, lawyers (politicians), and economists who know virtually nothing about how and why people get sick, is that the Obama proposed healthcare insurance plan, or any other healthcare insurance plan, is not in any way going to make the public healthier, but will only continue to allow them to get sick, which is causing the astronomical rise in healthcare costs in the first place, and...

336. Studying in the Philippines
September 24, 2009
Filipinos take pride in giving their children proper education. It is even included in their Constitution that each individual has the right to education which sadly is not the current case, since not all gets to enjoy this privilege. However, it does not mean that the country is lacking in top-quality learning institutions that can compete globally. In fact, some of the top universities in the Philippines have consistently been in the international list for top schools. These include University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University among others.

337. Visa Extensions in the Philippines
September 24, 2009
People love traveling. There are no words to describe when one steps into a foreign land for the first or nth time. The countries though need to control who comes in and out of their borders. This is to maintain a systematic hold on events that occur each day.
When entering foreign lands, in this case the Philippines, a visa is necessary along with a valid passport issued from the visitor’s home country. A visa is an important document that grants a traveler permission to enter and stay in a specific foreign country for a fixed period of time.

Whether the charges are federal, state or local nature, an experienced Fort Worth criminal attorney will know what to do to defend or prosecute. It can be quite overwhelming to be confronted with such a large opposition than what a prosecutor has at their disposal.

339. The Demoblican Party: Stop Feeding The Two-Headed Beast
September 24, 2009
A little more than a year ago, I became a member of the Libertarian Party. I had been a life long Republican. In college, after doing research, I was so disgusted with the Democratic Party's hypocrisy regarding the Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians and their suffering under Communism that I could never see myself voting for a Democrat. I believed that they did not sufficiently love freedom to support them. They were too willing to compromise with Communism. And so, not once in my voting life did I vote for a Democrat. I considered myself a conservative, though I never believed in censo... (read more)

Top 8 Lies About Healthcare Reform
Things have gotten pretty heated in the Health Care Debate, those opposed to Obama's proposed health care reform, have voiced their opinions and allegedly been beaten at rallies, enduring injuries for which they now cannot afford treatment, because they don't have insurance. Congressmen have yelled out at Obama, deeming him a liar. Kanye West told Obama, he would let him finish, but that Dennis Kucinich had the best plan for health care reform of all time. OF ALL TIME!

September 24, 2009
Neither Israel's diplomatic overtures, nor its pleas to the international community, nor sanctions imposed by numerous countries, were able to stop the rocket attacks.
Even after Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Hamas rejected coexistence, proclaiming its commitment to violence. On June 25, 2006, Palestinians terrorists from Gaza attacked an Israeli army post after crossing into Israel through an underground tunnel, killing two IDF soldiers, wounding four others and capturing the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. For over three years, Shalit has been held incommunicado by Hamas, a... (read more)

348. the legal basis for assessing Operation Cast Lead
September 24, 2009
The applicable legal framework for assessing the recent operations in Gaza is the "Law of Armed Conflict," also known as "International Humanitarian Law." The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza meets the definition of an "armed conflict" in the decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ("ICTY"). Hamas is a highly organized and well-armed group that uses armed force against Israel and, indeed, considers such armed struggle to be its primary mission. The actions of Hamas must also be measured against accepted principles and applicable rules of international... (read more)

350. The use of force during the Gaza operation
September 24, 2009
Q: What was the legal framework for the use of force?
A: Even where resort to force is justified, as it was for Israel in responding to heightened attacks by Hamas, customary law limits the manner in which a state can exercise force. The principle of distinction and the principle of proportionality are both designed to protect civilians, while taking into account the military necessities and the exigencies of the situation
Civilian casualties in an armed conflict does not in and of itself establish any violation of international law. The critical but often omitted link in determining... (read more)
