How do you feel about Terminator Seeds from Monsanto? I have determined that I am in favor of Terminator Seeds, having seen the complaints against it and the evidence for it. Also to curb the problem of GM seeds over taking the Natural Wild Seeds of rice, wheat, etc. which mankind has adapted too. Now then the debate goes like this.
Pro: crops will use less water, less apt to be damaged by insects and less likely to need additional insecticide or poison. Seeds will not regenerate or cause the introduction into wild versions of native plants.
Con: How dare you fool with Mother Nature. You are playing god. GM foods are evil. We have enough to feed the world. Monsanto is putting a price on life.
No matter which side of the debate of GM Seeds “Monsanto Terminator Style” you are on, you are sure to provoke a reaction from the other side which stands tall in their resolve.
At issue is the future of agriculture as we know it, the future is exciting and we plow into new territory of a world with GM crops and abundance in crop yields. Now then without further discussion here is what we have found; An Article Condemning GM Terminator Seeds First: Terminator Seeds, NGOs, Water Supplies, GM Crops and Feeding The World; Titled: WITHOUT BARS- TERMINATOR.
http://www.whatareweswallowing.freeserve.c…withoutbars.htm .
This is an interesting subject in that. First, the Environmentalists and Academia were concerned that the GM Crops would take over, spread out side of growing areas and change the landscape of every living organic plant, crop and insect. Worried about wild Sun Flower Plants, Rice and Corn. Now Monsanto has come up with a new idea to solve that problem by “Terminating Seeds” so in fact this problem that all the academia and alarmists warned us about is totally solved. So then what is the problem now? After all terminator seeds also insures they can continue to sell their seeds to get a return on their investment in research and work towards feeding the human race across the surface of the planet.
Sounds like a WIN/WIN? Yes, but there is more to the story and first you must determine how you feel about the over all issue at hand. Think about it.

Buying a house can be tricky, especially in our current economic climate. Mortages are available everywhere, but the rates can be astonishing. That is why it would be good idea to apply for a mortgage bond. However, there are many rules and regulations involved depending on the state you live in. If you are in California, for example, you’ll want to check with your local Department of Corporations to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. Here are all the details you’ll need.
For a Financial Lender bond, contact the Commissioner of Corporations at the Department of Corporations. The office is located at 320 West 4th Street, Suite 750, Los Angeles, CA, 90013-2344. This office also applies to those interested in Mortgage Broker bonds and Residential Mortgage Lender bonds.
If you are based in Pennslvania, the system works differently. All of these bonds can be obtained at the same address: 17 N. Second Street, Suite 1300, Harrisburg, PA, 17101-2290. However, if you are interested in a 1st Mortgage Loan bond, a Loan Correspondent bond, or a Mortgage Broker bond, contact the Chief in the Bureau of Licensing, Compliance & Consumer Services, in the Licensing Division. If you are interested in a Consumer Discount Company bond, contact the Secretary of Banking.

Plot to blow up Al-Aksa?
If the Israeli authorities truly suspected me of being involved in such a dangerous activity to blow up Al-Aksa, they would have NEVER RELEASED ME with only my passport in their hands. As for the others allegedly involved in some plot, that were “still at large” - THEY’RE STILL AT LARGE to this day, nine years later, because they don’t exist! And, just like nine years ago I protested my innocence, I continue to this day doing the same, consistent, honest and true, as God knows, and as they very well know and our former Consul General Edward Abington Jr. knew and ignored to his shame.
The Israeli Secret Police had a computer disk with Beyond Babylon on it back then, and now Beyond Babylon is professionally published, and it says now, as then, that it is the GOVERNMENT of Israel’s responsibility to remove the mosques and prepare for the Third Temple.
Gershon Salomon, chairman of the Temple Mount Faithful, has been stating that fact publicly since he helped to liberate the Temple Mount in 1967 during the Six Day War. What we say is LEGAL and BIBLICAL, although some would trample our rights to express ourselves and practice our religion, in a vain attempt to appease the Nazi-Muslim beasts.
It’s past time Israel lift the entry ban against me, and right the wrong that resulted in my unjust deportation.

ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS
Syria has become a priority target of US/Israeli preemption in the War on Terrorism. The recent Mosul homicide bomber only validates the Syrian connection, as far as US military strategists are concerned. Our last blog highlighted how neocon policy makers and think tanks (both in America and in Israel) have sought to “deterrorize” the region.
The effort at Mideast reconfiguration on the part of these strategists has been to defang Saddam Hussein first, thereby encircling Syria; and from thence, to neutralize Iran. Although Israelis have brought the Hashemite monarchy into the equation (i.e., as a “tribal strategy” after Saddam’s demise for Iraq), that particular “gift to Jordan” may not be necessary, given the fact that a “working democracy” is all that matters in Iraq in any eventnotwithstanding Osama’s calls for Iraqis to boycott the January 2005 elections.
How Syria’s overthrow can be justified by these policy makers was repeatedly demonstrated in the last article; so now, as promised, we will discuss the Biblical ramifications of the equationand this is the part that the Left just loves to hate (whereas they most likely enjoyed our initial “secular analysis”); but, we’re not out to please either the Left nor the Rightwe’ll settle for the ABSOLUTE TRUTH (don’t you just love that expressionit sounds so final and almost pompous; don’t mean it to be that way, but if you want to take it that way, be our guest).
DETOUR ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTED LIBERAL CONFUSION & BIBLICAL HEREMENEUTICS (i.e., “interpreting methods in Bible Study”)
While taking our excursion down the Road to Damascus, we encountered a most troubling and confusing theological phenomenon known as “Augustinian Malaise”a not so subtle immune deficiency disorder afflicting both the Liberal wing of the Church (throughout the world), as well as Evangelical Dominionists who are “theologically allied” with their Liberal foes. Both wish to reform the current governmental social orderwhether they wish to admit it or not. At least the Evangelical Dominionists (THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SITE) admit it; whilst their erstwhile liberal allies, who abhor anything that bespeaks of inerrancy, denounce their theologically allied Dominionist “compatriots.”
These Liberal foes have no theological idea to whom they are theologically unitedinstead they abhor the barbaric fundamentalists who ascribe to a more Biblical hermeneutical eschatology. These Scofield-Darbyites, along with their total distortions of the real Jesus, have been (in “liberalism’s progressive dialect”) a disaster to American Christianity, whereas PROGRESSIVE and, therefore, enlightened Christian Liberalism’s embrace of Augustinian spiritualization of the Revelation text, demonstrates the real intent of the “prophetic Scriptures” which is far and away the true spirit of Christianity and its gospel of love and social justice!
Christian liberalism (now that their brand of Christianity has been wholly given over to “higher biblical criticism” and the “historical Jesus” can only spiritualize their “prophetic voice” and speak in metaphors and symbolisms from the Revelationhardly a tangible reflection of where most American Christians position themselves today!
Furthermore, what really irks the spiritualizing Liberals is the current Administration’s total embrace of evangelical literalism’s Armageddon scenarioman, does that one get their Liberal goat or what! Anyway, just as the liberals ignorantly and simplistically lump all evangelicals into one camp (i.e., the “Biblical inerrant/literalist camp”); they do so at their own peril by “throwing the baby out with the bath water.” In sum: Not all literalists are your enemiesin point of fact: Biblical literalism that does NOT subscribe to Tim LaHaye’s triumphal Christianity MAY be your ultimate anecdote within America’s current Southern brand of “resurgent evangelicalism.”
THE “BURDEN OF DAMASCUS”
The passages found in Isaiah 17 and 18, Joel 2, Ezekiel 38-39 (including chapters 36-37), Daniel 11, as well as the temple passages in Ezekiel 40-43, Zechariah 9-14; and, finally, Amos 1:3-5, will be covered in our eschatological intrusion along the Road to Damascus.
The Apostle Paul’s conversion on the Road to Damascus turned the fledgling Christian faith, and the world at large, upside down! The question abides: Amongst all the external manifestations of fulfilled prophecy in the Bible (e.g., Israel’s rebirth in 1948; along with Jerusalem’s recognition as the Capitol of the Jewish State and its 1967 take over by the Jews; and, the ever-advancing incursions of the West vs. Islamic fundamentalism) is there another “Syrian Connection” that will turn the world upside down? I believe so . . . . let us examine these passages and the immediate eschatological implications of what we now face (Liberal Christianity hang in there . . . ).
THE “SYRIAN ESCHATOLOGICAL SYNTHESIS”
Throughout these eschatological discoveries, we shall adhere to the following (and, just because it makes rational sense doesn’t mean that the Bible is happenstance in its “prophetical conjectures”):
(1) Syria/Damascus will be the NEXT major prophetical happening among the Gentile nationsshe shall find herself in a major conflagration with both the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) and, secondarily, USA-led coalition forces. This shall primarily be an Israeli orchestrated, but USA-approved, military endeavor. Its primary purpose will be to:

There are a great deal of reasons why you would want a shed and as luck would have it there are cheap garden sheds to match just about every requirement. Sheds can be bought just about everywhere but what you will see is the price will vary hugely. You shouldn’t have to forego the garden shed you require because it is too pricey though. A garden shed is something you buy once and use for years and when you take a look on-line you can discover Garden sheds at some pretty silly prices. I do not mean silly and cheap as in quality but as in price. You’ll find you can find the garden shed you need for the price of the one you were close to settle for very much less and if you own a garden that you tend to each day you will most likely need to look into wooden garden sheds as a place to place the water hose, tools and fertilizer etc..
Looking after your garden tools and having them easily obtainable is a really good idea. You can find cheap sheds on the net that are the same sheds you’d buy in the shop. As A Matter Of Fact, you can go to the store and shop even touch them to find if it’s what you need and then you can go on-line and purchase it for a lot lower price. The difference in price is significant!

Lately the far left, the Democrats, certain left wing celebrities, ultra liberal newspaper reporters and editors and network news reporters and commentators have been ranting and raving about how President Bush has illegally taken away our right to privacy by signing an Executive Order allowing the National Security Agency to intercept certain communications between people of interest, in the United States, and people in certain other countries. Many of the foregoing are even saying that the President should be impeached. Some are comparing him to Richard Nixon or worse.
Do these people hate President Bush so much that, they are willing to sacrifice the safety and possibly the lives of Americans, their loved ones or even themselves in an attempt to ruin the President? Are they so hungry for power that they would endanger the people of this country in order to gain a political advantage over the Republican Party? Can they be so naive as to believe that what they are doing is not potentially harmful to this country? Do they even care if they are harming this country? Do they actually believe that their right to telephone privacy is more important than our right to life? Are they dumb enough to actually believe that the President broke the law?
Personally, I don’t believe that the President did anything illegal, however, if he did, then I say, thank you President Bush for putting the lives of my loved ones before other considerations. After all, what good is privacy if you are not alive to enjoy it.
I value my privacy (I don’t even like having my picture taken.), but I value the lives of my friends and loved ones more. I value my privacy (I don’t even like to be in crowded places.), but I value the continued existance of this country and form of government more. I would give my life for my wife and sons. Is a possible threat to my privacy worth more than my life.
This whole brouhaha about our loss of privacy is ridiculous anyway. The odds of an N.S.A. employee or contractor listening in on any one American’s conversations, are so small as too be almost incalculable. There are, according to most calculations, in excess of six billion people on this earth. There is no way, no matter how many computers are assigned to the task, for the N.S.A. computers to check, every telephone call, fax and e:mail, for suspicious activity, therefore the computers are tasked to check only certain areas or telephone numbers. Even then they can’t catch everthing. As far as I know (I don’t work for the N.S.A., so I could be wrong.), unless they task the computers to check my telephone numbers or unless I use, in my conversations, certain “buzz” words that have been deemed, by people that know far more than I, to be of consequence to national security, the odds of one of my conversations being listened to are almost nill.
Say some unknown faceless person at the N.S.A., or any other branch or part of our government, does listen to or read a transcript of one of my conversations. So what? I am not planning to do harm to this country or anyone else, I am not a terrorist nor am I a criminal. I would not know the person and he or she would not know me. I wouldn’t care what that person thinks about me, so what difference would it make? Say, he or she did learn and use something of embarrassment to me, again I say so what, I’d rather be embarrassed than deny my loved ones their security.
It seems to me that the far left, most Democrats, the ‘Hollywood Elite’ and certain other people are always talking about rights. The problem is that, the rights that they are usually talking about are the rights of criminals, terrorists and others out to do us harm. What about our rights, our right to life, our right to protect our spouses and our children, our right to protect our property, our right to be safe, etc..
Maybe if President Clinton would have cared as much for the American people as President Bush does, a telephone conversation would have been picked up that could have saved lives by giving us the advance information that could have prevented 9/11 (Remember, the planning for 9/11 started long before President Bush took office.).
Whether or not the far left likes it, these are trying times. We are at war, a war against terrorism. During war some sacrifices have to be made. This war may well be more important than any war we have been in since the Civil War. We have given up many freedoms during each war, including the Cold War. After each war, we got those freedoms back. Have we become too lazy, too greedy, too self indulgent to give up some freedoms in order to protect our loved ones and, perhaps, win this war.
I don’t know about the rest of you, maybe some of you don’t care about your friends or family, maybe some of you don’t have any friends or family, but I would be willing to give up whatever privacy I have, if it would help protect my family.
One last note to those on the far left and their sympathizers: Don’t give me that junk about how you are trying to help Americans by stopping the erosion of our ‘freedoms’. The fact is, we enjoy more ‘freedoms’ today than we ever have. There is no country in the world that gives it’s citizens more ‘freedoms’ than America.

The much hyped and publicized Mobile World Congress, which took place in Barcelona, reflected worrying signs for the industry as a whole. A poor economy made its presence felt on this year’s event with a clear lack of interest from participants. Compared with last year, the number of people attending the event fell by 10%. There was also a decrease in the number of new products showcased, which in the past was the single biggest attraction of the event with all major companies competing with each other with their futuristic gadgets. The product launches have also taken a hit with very few significant announcements taking place. With manufacturers suffering from falling handset demand and companies downsizing their operations, hardly any major players seem to be in an optimistic mood. In his keynote speech, GSMA CEO, Rob Conway, was clearly disappointed with the lower attendance. Keeping the long-term vision for the mobile industry in mind, he touched upon the fact that the 3g mobile broadband industry is likely to play a huge role in covering the broadband demand for consumers lacking a fixed line connection. With a recent survey confirming that most mobile users anticipate a big jump in their data services usage, it is clear where profitability lies for the industry. As in any other private enterprise, this profitability will drive the expansion of broadband across a much wider consumer base, which will be a boon for the 100 million European consumers who still cannot get a fixed line broadband connection.

With all the noise about undecided U.S. voters through the Summer of 04, it is safe to assume more than two per cent were undecided a few weeks before the election. Among the decideds, an equal or greater number would have swung their votes at the drop of a hat. Osama came on TV and told them not to support George Bush. So they went to the polls and proved their patriotism, by doing exactly what Osama expected them to do. So why did Osama want this president reelected?
Fact is, the War on Terror is the best thing that ever happened for Osama, Pakistan and George Bush, who share many secret agreements between them. This has been the case since November, 2001, when Pakistan, George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and Tommy Franks agreed to airlift as many as 4000 members of Al Qaeda from the city of Konduz, Afghanistan; to safety in Pakistan. Another 4000 members of Al Qaeda were allowed to head for the border on the ground. Where are they now? Spain? France? Germany? Holland? England? Canada? Mexico? Iraq? Who cares?
This betrayal, this High Treason, was reported on the PBS news magazine, Now with Bill Moyers, Friday, 21 February, 2003 and should have reached over two million viewers. The war drums were beating loudly for the invasion of Iraq, so the fact is America’s Commander-in-Chief has betrayed not only the American people and the armed forces, but a suffering world unable to resolve conflict without violence. This proves the entire War on Terror a huge fraud to increase the size, cost and power of national governments around the globe. This is of no concern to anyone I know of. Who is there to say no thanks?
If you belong to the Republican Party, you can now get away with murder, whether the victims are innocent Iraqi people, U.S. military forces, or foreign captives. Isn’t that exciting - intoxicating? Isn’t war grand? Doesn’t it make you proud to vote? Can you guess who will pay the price of these crimes, done in the name of American security, freedom and democracy?
No single person in all Islam has done more to recruit and inflame terrorists than George W. Bush over the past three years. And where has Osama been hiding the past three years, if not in Pakistan? So why would Osama want anyone other than George Bush as the President of the United States? To save most precious American lives? Sure, that’s what he says in his videos, but don’t believe him for a minute. It would be unpatriotic to believe an enemy, wouldn’t it? Of course it would. It doesn’t matter if your enemy speaks any truth, it is your duty to ignore him or call him a liar. Good boy! Good girl!
Osama has spoken truthfully to America since he was important enough to attract foreign media attention. Ask any reporter in the corporate, fascist, Amerikan mass media why George Bush was reelected and they will tell you. It’s the War on Terrorism, dummy. John Kerry cannot be trusted to do the same BANG UP job George Bush is doing to protect us, as big brothers are supposed to do. It’s the most honest admission you will ever hear from them. Osama speaks the truth knowing that honesty is NOT a value that matters in an American election. He can sleep with a clear conscience and no fear of George Bush.
Osama has been far too kind and delicate in his dealings with America. America has sold truth for appearances and its soul for its lifestyle. And there is no health in US. America could not elect a more appropriate president than a traitor who is sacrificing its children to the great god Molech, in the name of freedom and democracy.
America needs humility much more than good will, as the rest of the world so plainly sees. Its humility can only come by violent force because its ignorant arrogance has progressed beyond self mitigation. Hang on - the party has hardly begun. He who loves us will correct us.
We ARE the great Satan we have been labeled. The only thing we can think to say about it is; who us? We are the greatest nation on earth and if you say otherwise we will kill you! It never once occurs to us that others can see us as we are. We have no self image problem. We have a moral substance problem. As Sodom, we need an advocate like Abraham to intercede on behalf of our ten righteous men - all to no avail. Or perhaps I’m wildly exaggerating the problem, don’t you wish?
Osama spoke and Washington ignored him as was their habit. He sent us all a wake up call. Washington invaded Iraq. The rest of us tapped the button on our snooze alarm. Our message to Osama? Is that the best you’ve got? Aren’t we clever? Don’t we need a serious ass kicking? It’s on the way.
