I don’t know if you watched the video of our wonderful presidential candidate John McCain’s response from a question in the crowd as to what to do about Iran, but if you didn’t, here it is. His response was a take on the old Beach Boys song Ba-Ba-Ba–ba-barbara Ann. Instead, he sang Bomb-Bomb-Bomb-Iran. Can you believe this? It’s no wonder that we are looked at by the world community to be an imperialist, war-mongering, arrogant nation.

You may say that courtship in dating has its share of little deceptions used as a way to impress someone like, “I love sports”, or “I love opera”. But what about online? Do people online go too far in their deceptions about themselves? Perhaps in no other environment has there been such a cloak of anonymity that actually encourages deception. Some deceptions may only have to do with a person’s height or weight, but it can also go so far as to scam people out of money for the sake of a little romance. You may learn to be a little more cautious after reading what some people do in regards to today’s deception at light speed.

If you are like me, you wonder where all the accountability went with our country, and in particular, with our government. Remember back in the day when you were in school, and it all came down to your final report card? If you messed around too much, it would show on your report card, and that would lead to an ass whooping if it wasn’t good enough. Well, don’t you wish our government had that same accountability? You aren’t alone, and an intellectual that is a professor of American foreign policy at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies named Zbigniew Brzezinski graded our last three presidents, and it isn’t pretty. And, if anyone can judge their performance, it is Brzerzinski.

Since you have probably filed your income tax return by now, I thought a little review of where the money went might be in order. The funny thing about income taxes is that I don’t mind paying them as long as I know that they are spent wisely, but with Bush’s favorite hobby being war games in Iraq, I am having more and more difficulty coughing up the money. At least with this article, you will have some kind of idea of what is happening to your money.

When I think about my own life, I can’t help but feel extremely fortunate to have finally found the balance and freedom in my life that has brought me so much happiness, but getting there has been difficult and at times, very stressful. Why did it take me so long? Is there a secret to happiness? Are you happy?

In an article in the April, ‘07, Scientific American, it speaks to this issue in scientific terms. Being the scientific journal it is, there are researchers who are trying to determine what the science of lasting happiness is.

In Part II of this series of articles, the influence on the White House by the Neocons is reflected in the number of high ranking officials who are supporters of Leo Strauss and zionism. These two ideologies promote the power elite, and the pro-militaristic approach to foreign policy especially in regards to Israel’s security in the Middle East. In this article, I will deal with the impact of this influence on America and it’s foreign policy, but first, we need to better understand the connection between the Neocons and zionism.

After reading through the current Ode Magazine, I was quite shocked regarding an article promoting amnesty to the illegal immigrants. The author’s whole argument was for politics of compassion, and he was disproving alleged myths of why we should be anti-illegal immigrant. I have written many articles about why continuing to allow immigrants to flood into this country without any regulation could “bankrupt” our country. ( Illegal Immigrants: Should They Have Rights?, America: Pro-Immigration? Then Pro-Oil Dependence! and VIDEO — Are Immigrants Ruining Our Future?) Here is what Ode has to say about immigration into this country in general:

I left you in Part I of this series of articles revealing the motivations behind President Bush that the White House doesn’t want you to know, but from his own words and from those close to him, it is apparent that his mixing of politics and religion has left him vulnerable to illogical, megalomaniac exploitation. With Bush’s ego of divine and ignorant prejudices, he was certainly ripe for influence by those who would best lead him down the path of righteous battle against evil. And, what would be the most fortuitous, opportune moment to declare this Holy War? It was the disastrous and tragic event of 9/11.
