proof that saudi was behind 9/11 ?
Can we believe this guy ?..Why not, he has nothing to lose. Funny how prince turk, who he mentions, resigned from security chief 10 days before 9/11.. that bin ladin family was told not to travel by air on that day. Why are the US puppets...invade and destroy.
Saudi are also behind isis..For sure.
National Prayer's Breakfast Speech
Even I was convinced with the sincerity of the US president Obama on his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast meeting today.
He said in a very solemn voice: "GOD DOES NOT SUPPORT TERRORIST."
"WE SHOULD SEEK TO BE AN INSTRUMENT FOR PEACE".
"NO ONE SHOULD INSULT ANY RELIGION".
"OUR NATION DOESN'T SPONSOR NOR ENDORSE ANY RELIGION OR FAITH BECAUSE WE ARE GRANTED THE FREEDOM TO PRACTICE ANY KIND BUT MUST BE RESPECTFUL TO ALL."
The most that connected to my heart is when he said: WE SHOULD PRACTICE THE GOLDEN RULE.
Wouldn't it be great if all people in the world follow and practice the same thing?
Question is? Why can't we?
Anyways, I was also touched by his emphasis on the reasons why the founders of our nation included God in their Declaration of Independence and it is primarily with the fact that they believed in God.
I do.
NOTE: My question is, is he sincere? I doubt.

driving is a privilege
Well I was in court yesterday ready and armed with all the facts that I should have not been singled out to be cited for speeding and failure to turn my signal when lane changing.
(Being lunch time and freeway was empty, everyone was speeding over the speed limit but I passed a semi just to stay away from him as he was doing 80 on a 70).
So I said to myself: "I'm expert on this, I will show up with my professional and respectful demeanor and tell the judge and as usual get dismissed. But that's in California, my residence of 35 years. This time it's my first ticket in the Mid West and of course it's going to be the same.
Well not. Procedures are different but just the same, they just want your money and holy mackerel at least in Cali, you'll get the honor to be heard and state your case. Here you don't get to do all that, they just declare you have to pay and the amount is higher because you're ticketed for two. I said: "Where's the judge and the accuser?" ( officer who pulled me over)
The clerk said: "They're not here and we're making it easier for you". I said: No you're not making it easier for me, I demand the right to be heard and no, first of all I don't want to go to record or my insurance will be exorbitant. After negotiation, he finally realized I am bent to prove my innocence and be dismissed, he dismissed the case, not going to court and stand face to face with the highway patrol in front of a judge.
I said to myself, hmmmnn, a lot easier than in California where you have to sit in court for whole day listening to silly and inane stories trying to make the fine reduced.
But the truth is: This is not really enforcing the law, making the roads safe rather IT IS AN ENORMOUS AND PROFITABLE REVENUE GENERATING TOOL for the nation.
In my driving style (no accident) being a fast driver I'm sure I've paid a fortune to my state. And as soon as my daughter learned about it she said: "Some things don't change, just be careful mom, the snow is treacherous", and I said: "I will, honey".
But as they say it's a privilege, and so be it.

What do speed traps, parking tickets, toll roads, speed cameras and red light cameras all have in common? They are all major revenue sources for state and local governments. All over America today there are state and local governments that are drowning in debt. Many have chosen to use “traffic enforcement” as a way to raise desperately needed revenue. According to the National Motorist Association, issuing speeding tickets raises somewhere between 4.5 billion and 6 billion dollars in the United States each year. And the average price of a speeding ticket just keeps going up.

you worry me
PLEASE READ AND CONTRIBUTE ON HOW YOU FEEL. IT WAS SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND AND I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING IF NOT THOUGHT PROVOKING.
A newspaper stated that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane. The following is a letter from a pilot. This well- spoken man, who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart, beautifully. This pilot hit the nail right on the head in his open letter. No name calling, no hatred, no political agenda.
YOU WORRY ME!
I've been trying to say this since 911, but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.
I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings, killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.
The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be consumed by the same rage, hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim Americans and the Arab/Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter MORE of the same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11 changed the answer.. It is not MY responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.
I want to know, I DEMAND to know and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America ..... Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation; that He will protect it and let it prosper? Or do you pray that Allah will destroy it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America?? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it

DID YOU EVER HEARD THE NAME BOKO HARAM?
Nigeria long before never had this type of terrorist hate group.Until Nigeria became the 20th richest country in the world! New big cities are being built that rivals western standard.
When we see the atrocities caused by BOKO HARAM terrorist group, we see the amount of money they have, we see the type of military weapon they possess, and when Africa calls for help to fight this deadly terrorist, America says no, Europe says no.
Well, there is this researcher in the USA well known and an insider to CIA operatives, that said a few months back,that the BOKO HARAM terrorist group is created and being financed and sponsored by the west to destabilise the development of Africa.He is a white man and a US citizen.!

Dear Mr. Abbott
You complained to us and mentioned your previous help in Aceh as if we're an ungrateful country. Don't worry. We will return all the favors you've given us.

The craziest thing or what?
I was talking with a friend of mine tonight. During the conversation, he brought something to my attention. I have never heard about this before so I had to check for myself on youtube. To my surprise, there were loads of videos with some pretty darn compelling evidence. Even Joan Rivers was recorded as stating it. Are you ready for this? Is Michelle Obama really a man?
Me personally, I laughed my butt off in disbelief when he first told me that. I thought he lost a few cards from his deck. But, after checking things out....well....let's just say some people put together some interesting things.
Time for me to hopefully get some sleep.

Are We Ready For a Woman Leader?
It is a little bit boring lately so I have to indulge in my favorite passtime. Reading and learning about how to make our world a better place.
As we are agonizing with global terrorism, I figured maybe it is time for us to look at the possibility of being run and led by a force with strength and finesse. With firm yet gentle hand. With sharp and bright mind but also equipped with compassion and maternal instinct.
In short a norturing ability to see growth and progress that sustains our ever volatile and ever changing world. A woman.
Correct me if I am wrong but is there a better option at the moment than to consider a female leader to steer our country to greatness?
Today we are both attacked from local and global agression of which mostly is based on religious dominance. We see the negative impact of our previous policies due to lack of transparency from our leaders. We seem to be swimming in the oblivion of ignorance. Worse our CONSTITUTION is run over and violated by current administration specially in the laws of immigration. But it seems there is nothing we can do. Or is there?
Would all this be solved if we had a woman president? Perhaps not, but the truth of the matter is that we do have many women from all points of the earth, from all points of time who has earned more glory than those of their male counterparts on their time.
I will enclose all of them for your perusal but just google WOMEN RULERS OF ALL TIME and you will be exposed to so many great women leaders that has proven their strength and resilience, character and integrity, power and force to glory.
Want to challenge me? Go ahead be my guest.
Thank you all for your contributions, oppositions, and or opinions.

hold our head in shame
The UN...and the western governments.
How we left cambodia to suffer, when we could have saved millions from starvation and death.
Nixon and Kissenger..responsible for millions of suffering people.

Why many in Congress fear peace
Quite simply, because they tend to be Bible thumpers. This means every day they pray for the second coming of their God. However, the Bible is very explicit this can not happen if Israel is not destroyed. To them, they should fight to preserve Israel, but at the same time do so with the knowledge it is doomed. Blessed are they who help this happen they believe.
So along comes Iran with it's nuclear program. Oh the self named Christians are overjoyed. The Final Days are here at last they exhort. Sure, tell Iran no to nuclear weapons. Rattle swords. Offer Israel better weapons. And in their churches give thanks for the coming war and the coming of their Lord as soon as 7 true Jews stand on a hill outside of Jeruselam and watch it burn. Joyously the cross followers sing Nearer my God to thee. Candlelight rallies praising their God and mock cursing of Iran.
Then it happens and for the first time their blood truly runs icy with fear. Iran is saying no to nuclear weapons and proposes a peace deal Israel can live with. But, but, but, Israel has to be destroyed before their God can come back. Say No to the deal they urge the President. They send a letter to Iran telling that even if the deal is made, they will do their best to unmake it. How lucky Israel is that they run the Congress here and maybe they can block the peace. No God can return if there is peace in the mid-East. Fear not they tell their followers. We will not go to war, but we will block the peace and destroy anyone who works to make it happen. Our Lord will come again.
Meanwhile, a new deal is worked out. This time the US is barely in the loop. Peace may come after all and the poor, sad Born Again wish they were Christians may have to wait another 2,000 years before they have another opportunity to gloat over dead people.
They cry, gnash their teeth and show the world there is nothing of God about them.
