Why Our Schools Teach Socialism
(20Feb05) Does this sound familiar? Why Our Schools Teach Socialism by Joe Larson in the Education Reporter "Democratic socialism" became the battle cry for socializing the United States . The goal was to "permeate and penetrate," then control from within. The socialists' first target was education, and they attacked with deceitful language. There were no badges or socialist labels; followers described themselves as "liberal," "progressive," and even "moderate." Words were the weapon of choice in this new war. By changing the meanings of words, socialists concealed their true purpose. This massive social engineering was carried out under the banners of "reform" and "social justice."

Breast Cancer Mystery Frustrates Scientists
(13Feb05) “…We knew more about the cause of breast cancer 20 years ago than we do today," Richard Stevens said. "What we do know is that it must have something to do with industrialized society…. Now, Richard Stevens and a few other researchers are focusing on a little-known suspect - electric light. Breast Cancer Mystery Frustrates Scientists “Their theory that artificial light can cause breast cancer is simple. Prolonged periods of exposure to artificial light disrupt the body's circadian rhythms - the inner biological clocks honed over thousands of years of evolution to regulate behaviors such as sleep and wakefulness…. Mankind has only been exposed to these light sources for 150 years or so," Stevens said”

For one, providing a detainee an incentive for cooperation—such as a cigarette or, especially favored in Cuba, a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwich or a Twinkie unless specifically approved by the secretary of defense….… “…The captives protested every perceived infringement of their rights but, as in Afghanistan , ignored any reciprocal obligation. They hurled excrement and urine at guards, used their blankets as garrotes, and created additional weapons out of anything they could get their hands on—including a sink wrenched off a wall. Guards who responded to the attacks—with pepper spray or a water hose, say—got punished and, in one case, court-martialed…” How to Interrogate Terrorists by Heather Mac Donald
