I won’t give you a copy of the entire law. But here’s the thing,things are getting really scary. Arroyo has gone mad!!! (ooopsss, I may be arrested without any warrant for such words against the government!) But here’s how the new law threatens to violate the basics of human rights of the Filipinos.
Let us hope and definitely pray for those who are oppressed and persecuted.
Kidnapping brings unwanted attention to Afghan Christians
By Chris Sands in Mazar-e-Sharif
Published: 24 July 2007
The kidnapping of South Korean church volunteers by the Taliban has sparked vigils in Seoul, and shone the spotlight on Afghanistan’s small, underground Christian community.
In Mazar-e-Sharif, home to one of Islam’s most revered shrines, Ahmedi, 33, says he would be killed instantly if his faith were exposed. In this staunchly traditional society, conversion from Islam remains reviled by many Afghans - and by government officials.
“If the war had not happened, if the Americans and foreigners had not come to Afghanistan, we would not have this freedom and we would not have this office,” says Ahmedi, who was fearful of giving his full name.
The “office” is a community centre set up by a Christian charity, and Ahmedi is one of 100 or so Christians living in the northern city.
Rumours abound here that many aid organisations are used as a cover by foreigners to indoctrinate people into Christianity. And in Ahmedi’s case, there is an element of truth - he converted from Shia Islam three years ago after meeting an American evangelical. Now his wife and four children are also Christian, and he is the priest of a local church. He has even helped convert other Afghans . READ THE WHOLE STORY HERE.
Rosie O’donnel would’ve been a disaster. Drew Carey? hmm I don’t know yet.
NEW YORK - Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace
silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show “The Price is
Right.” Carey confirmed the deal during a taping of the “Late Show” with David
Letterman.
The selection attracted more attention than usual for a daytime
show because of the prospect of replacing Barker, 83. Barker retired after 35
years in the job last month following taping of his 6,586th episode.
The
opening attracted widespread interest, including from comic Rosie O’Donnell
after she left “The View.”
Carey, 49, spent a decade on his own ABC sitcom
and also was host of the game show “Whose Line is It Anyway?,” a comic
improvisational show.
He will also be host of a new CBS prime-time game
show, “The Power of 10,” that will air first next month. He told The Associated
Press that CBS officials first contacted him about “The Price is Right”
immediately after he completed a pilot of the other game show this spring.
Imagine ‘Ladies and Gentlemen we are now lost’. Jusst like sailing with out a compass, you would not make it. well unless you’re Jack Sparrow.
SAO PAULO, Brazil - A radar failure over the Amazon forced Brazil to turn back or ground a string of international flights Saturday, deepening a national aviation crisis just hours after the president unveiled safety measures prompted by the country’s deadliest air disaster.
Further shaking Brazilians’ confidence, authorities said they had mistaken a piece of the fuselage from Tuesday’s accident for the flight recorder and sent it to a laboratory for analysis.
The radar outage from 11:15 p.m. Friday to 2:30 a.m. Saturday, caused by an electrical problem, forced numerous planes heading to Brazil from the U.S. to return to their points of origin and make unscheduled landings at airports from Puerto Rico to Chile.
Eight of the 17 planes flying in the coverage area of the radar system were rerouted, and some airlines canceled flights bound for Brazil.
While the nation has had chronic problems with delays and cancellations on domestic flights over the past 10 months, the radar outage was the first time that international flights have been severely affected.
“This is total chaos here. I have never seen anything like it and it makes me feel very unsafe,” said Eli Rocha, 52, of Oklahoma City, who was trying board a flight to Dallas on Saturday at Sao Paulo’s international airport. The flight was crowded with weary Americans arriving on other delayed or diverted flights.
The confusion followed a nationally televised speech by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who tried to calm the nation Friday night by announcing new safety measures and saying authorities will build a new airport in Sao Paulo, where an Airbus A320 operated by TAM Airlines crashed, killing 191 people.
All 187 people aboard and at least four on the ground died when the jetliner raced down the runway, skipped over a crowded highway and exploded in a fireball that was still smoldering three days later. Many experts have said that the short, rain-slicked runway could have contributed to the disaster at the downtown Congonhas airport, Brazil’s busiest.
It makes you want to ask Sen. Clinton’s motives , co’z I’m pretty sure she’s not doing this to help our troops. I’m also convinced that she is not in any way shape or form siding with the terrorist, Al-qaida or we call it the enemy. Here’s my take on this. I know that majority of Americans are sick and tired of this war in Iraq, I mean wherever you turn there’s killing almost everyday in Iraq. people dies, our soldier dies. headlines after headlines , media are loving this stuff . That my friend is what the enemy wants, they want to create chaos, terror, well we don’t call them terrorist for nothing. Here we go, this is where politicians comes in. War in Iraq is bad news, people wants something done right now, Hillary Clinton wants to be a hero, she i doing this for her gain politically. So let’s get this straight , Hillary Clinton does not aid the Enemy, she is being manipulated by the enemy without her knowing it. and that my friend is just plain stupeed
Now read this stupid news
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon told Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton that her questions about how the U.S. plans to eventually withdraw from Iraq boosts enemy propaganda. In a stinging rebuke to a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman responded to questions Clinton raised in May in which she urged the Pentagon to start planning now for the withdrawal of American forces. A copy of Edelman’s response, dated July 16, was obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. “Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia,” Edelman wrote.
Vandals Attack Man’s Hummer, Leave Note
WASHINGTON - When Gareth Groves brought home his massive new Hummer, he
knew his environmentally friendly neighbors disapproved. But he didn’t expect
what happened next. The sport utility vehicle was parked for five days on the
street before two masked men smashed the windows, slashed the tires and
scratched into the body: “FOR THE ENVIRON.”
“The neighborhood in general is very concerned with the environment,” said Liem,
whose Prius gets about 48 miles a gallon compared with the Hummer’s 14 miles a
gallon….”So what about those people who have a car made in 1980s… Are they going to scratch their car up to? Who are they to say what people can/cannot drive? Maybe next time they should buy their neighbor Friction Free 3000. Atleast then, they wouldn’t be in trouble with the law-LOL
May God Bless you all in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
If FrancSwiss business pratices are comparible to Ponzi, then yea it is a scam . But keep in mind pending an investigation we’re not sure yet. From what I’ve heard so far, even Philippine celebrities like Claudine Barretto, Piolo Pascual, Richard Gomez and Korina Sanchez have “invested” in FrancSwiss. So you can say that FrancSwiss is not a legit company.
Looks like FrancSwiss and SwissCash are conneted some how.
FrancSwiss is a HYIP (High Yield Investment Program ) , which I don’t trust.
Philippine SEC issued warning to the public regarding FrancSwiss and other companies.
Finnally after thousands of years …
Kudos to walmart people, then maybe kids will start asking questions about Bible Stories.
Wal-Mart said Tuesday it will test sales in some stores of biblical action figures whose makers say they are aimed at Christian parents who prefer their children play with Samson, David or Noah rather than with a comic book character or Bratz.
Biblical toys like Sampson will do battle against ‘negative toys’ on the shelves of 425 stores.The toys, based on biblical stories, include a 3-inch figure of Daniel in the lion’s den, a 12-inch talking Jesus doll and 13-inch Samson action figure.
and the battle begins,..
….oh She wants Prez. Bush Dead or atleast impeached.
Cindy Sheehan said she had fantasies about killing George
Bush.
But Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war mom of an American soldier who was killed in Iraq, is threatening to challenge the re-election of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan says she’ll mount a third party campaign to unseat the California Democrat if Pelosi doesn’t move quickly to Impeach Prez. Bush.
–ssssssStupiiiiiid—–
“I really am challenging Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party to be different,”
Sheehan said last week during a call-in to the MSNBC .
DeWayne Wickham of USA TODAY says Sheehan picks the wrong Target.
“If it’s an election fight she wants, Sheehan and her supporters should take on those Republicans. ”
I guess Mr. Wickham missed the new poll
The Democrats’ overall job approval rating has dropped from a 54 percent
majority to 44 percent. See the analysis here
That is why my friend Cindy Sheehan can smell the Victory, even though there is none. Shifting my friend is part of the game here.
