POPSUnited States Bill of Rights We as a people of this great nation must protect these rights by all means necessary and not let big government diminish these rights through devious means.

POPSVolcano Erupts, Forcing Hundreds to Flee I just saw a documentary on the eruption of Kracatoa, located in the South Pacific, in 1883. This eruption was the largest in human existence causing pyroclastic(large flowing mass of lava) tidal waves of 1000 degrees to neighboring islands and spawning a year long winter around the globe.

POPSFed Reserve counterfeits currency The reserve actually causes inflation in the long run. With banks only storing, at most, 10% of your deposited money at any given time, in turn, the banks are allowed to keep reserves amounting to 10% of deposits at the Federal Reserve, the bank's bank. This means if your bank deposits 2 million dollars into the Central Bank, the reserve is an additional 18 million of money to be printed. Ten percent of 20 million is 2 million. Talk about major inflation. ALL BANKS are constantly having more and more money printed by the reserve.

POPSOperation Shamrock Will you sacrifice your civil liberties inherent in the Bill of Rights to the Gov. willingly? Speak out against Fascism!

POPSGenetically Modified Crops in the United States Many countries outside the U.S. are vehemently opposed to genetically engineered crops on their shelves because the health risks of such are yet to be determined. Basically, officials in Japan and Britain, for instance, are using the U.S. public as guinea pigs for at least ten years to see what the major health risks are. The countries outside the U.S. that do have genetically modified foods are labeled accordingly, unlike the U.S.

POPSimperialism Strangely, the U.S. reign over the oil rich Middle East country of Iraq fits the definition of imperialism. Our alliance with Britain in the status quo seems natural considering Britain's imperialistic past. The U.S. made a "pre-emptive" strike on Iraq without finding Weapons of Mass Destruction so what is the purpose for such measures if the original reason turned out to be false? You be the judge.

POPSInternet Radio Equality Act I listen to electro/goth/industrial stations on Live 365, and would be dissatisfied with having to switch to Satellite Radio if smaller companies like Live 365 are driven under by rate hikes.

POPSMedia bias and Israeli spin-doctoring Israel has a elaborate media filter structure to cast the country and it's "occupation" in a favorable light around the world. These filters include Owners of media outlets(who conform to the political elite), the political elite, a PR ministry dedicated primarily to western influence(plus allied with the most influencial American PR firms, and finally and last line of media filtering are watchdog groups such as CAMERA. Israel will always be cast as "defenders" or "retaliating" on US airwaves although they are OCCUPYING foreign land. Also, the influx of Jewish "settlements" on occupied territory will alway be mentioned as "neighborhoods." I'm not Jewish or Arab, I just beleive the truth be told w/o spin. I loathe misinformation on our public airwaves.

POPSIBM's technology automated the Holocaust When the U.S. gov. outlawed American companies from doing business with the Third Reich, IBM's Swiss office became the nexus, providing the New York office with all the day to day business info. Corporations are considered a person by the context of the law, however, they lack any kind of morals and this is a prime example of company profit at the expense of price-less human life. Recently, it has dawned on me why so many people in this world are against ruthless Capitalists. Similar atrocities are still being committed day to day systematically destroying our civilization.

POPSCorporations Stiffing Government on Fines Profit is the bottom line for every corporation. Damage to the enviroment and humans are secondary. If companys would just pay to fix the areas of violation, I think it would equal the amount they rack up in fines yearly. But hey, they are not paying the fines or they renegotiate for a lower penalty, so know I know why they don't fix the areas that aren't up to stadards.

POPSDrinking cow's milk unnatural. Would you drink rats milk? ANYTHING that is giving to the cow be it antibiotics, hormones, etc. is in the milk the cows excrete. Humans having a higher intake of antibiotics from cow's milk, for instance, have immune systems that are less resistant to disease because of this constant exposure. When someone in a hospital dies of a simple staff infection, their is call for alarm. DON'T DRINK MILK!!!

POPSSite listing 100's of free Movie/TV sites This is the most comprehensive listing of free movie sites to date. I received a lot of comments from other clippers of sites to go to from the clipmark for a single movie/t.v. site I posted. This pretty much lists them all plus many, many more. Enjoy!

POPS(RFID) Chip Implants This scares the fuckin' PISS out of me. Aside from the conviences such a chip can provide, such as storing medical records, banking info(replace credit and ATM cards), GPS, and security clearance, I think the drawbacks are overwhelming. This is just one more link in the gov. control chain. Such a device would make it much easier for the gov. to spy on you and infringe your rights without you even knowing. With a couple mouse clicks, Big Brother can pinpoint your location 24/7, track your spending trends, and see when yo went to the doctor last. The list goes on and on regarding it's potential for abuse. This has the capability of giving the gov. control over humans that would be unprecedented.

POPSFederal Reserve Is A Privately Owned Bank Our nation was founded on the following money issuing principle which I shall refer to as Principle 1 : The government ( A ) issues money, BASED ON THE AUTHORITY OF THE CONSTITUTION, to the people ( B ) for its circulation among the people to develop the commerce of the nation. The government is funded by the return of that issued money via taxes specified by the Constitution. These taxes are known as " indirect " taxes and include what are known as tariffs, excises, and imposts. The money which the government issues is ( here is a extremely important point ) INTEREST FREE. PRINCIPLE 1 : A---------------------B ( government ) ( people ) money issuance is from A to B, government to people, money issued is INTEREST FREE and returns to fund government via " indirect " taxes.

POPSWoman Tasered For Having Suspended DL Wow, this woman didn't pose an overwhelming danger to the officers. She was just asking why the officers wanted her to step out! Is our country gradually becoming a police state? Are we to expect more incidents like this in the future which blatently disregard our rights? Will such actions be imposed more frequently after the introduction of a national ID card that has much more detailed info about us? Do you think those officers took the right cautionary actions to ensure their safety?

POPSThe Real ID Act: This reminds me of scenes from old movies depicting Nazi Germany and the Gestapo. At a checkpoint, a gaurd says, "Sir, may I please see your papers." They are carrying guns and stationed at just one out of hundreds of checkpoints manned throughout Nazi Germany to keep track of EVERYONE. The Introduction of a National I.D. card will be similar. You will have an I.D. no. and all kinds of info about you will be filed under that no. and linked in a national database. The modern day Gestapo. I'm probably raising the eyebows of FBI right now for mentioning Gestapo in this clip. They're probably watching. They have the power to do so secretly.

POPSACLU welcomes al-Marri ruling This is a key victory in restoring our personal rights as American citizens. Bush's flexing of exectutive powers against "enemy combatants" MUST HAVE MERIT! I am elated to discover the necessary checks and balances are being utilized for the common good of the people in a time when executive powers and judiciary measures are constantly being defined and redefined due to the new global threat.

POPSFree Speech Zones and John Ashcroft As I read more thoroughly into the issue of civil liberties, I become more and more discusted at my findings. Our country was "founded on the basis of including and protecting everyone's voice."

POPSSigns of weakening democracy This apparent "war on terror" is never going to end in my lifetime, so does this mean that the gov. will have rights that are exclusive to wartime for the rest of our countries' existance? This sounds like a dictatorship to me. Not being able to hold authorities accountable and knowing motives and info behind their actions is very dangerous for a democracy.

POPSU.S. Constitution: Fourth Amendment The gov. today performs illegal searches and seizures without probale cause contrary to the 4th Amendment of th Constitution. The gov. is not above the law. They also must particularly describe circumstances and obtain warrants accordingly. Most Americans are ignorant to such facts and our civil liberties are stripped under the guise of "terrorism"

POPSUnder Bush, a New Age of Prepackaged Television News Fow News is the largest news organization in America and it's stories parallel White House ideologies. Scary combo. Most of the American public doesn't even realize news oranizations focus on stories of achievement and success in the Mideast to bolster support for the Bush Admn. policies.

POPSHalliburton accused of $1bn overcharge
Something that We The People........had to pay for. Halliburton managers neglected water treatment for bases (80% troops had to shower in water tainted in cholera, thyphoid,malaria), All managers and secretaries provided with Escalades, H2's, and other expensive vehicles and just written off to the gov. H2's? Anyway, convoy trucks carrying supplies were never repaired when disabled, rather they were just blown up by the military and replaced with a new $75,000 trucks. Charged $100 per bag of laundry for troops, and the laundry came back worse than before as reported by troops. Food lines numbered in the hundreds at military bases because food was only served during daylight hours, instead of 24 hrs. a day to save money. Computers and any type of equipment intentionally ordered wrong and them burned in big fire pits just to bill the gov. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE HALLIBURTON RECEIVED A PERCENTAGE OF ALL EXPENSES AS PROFIT, SO THE MORE MONEY IT USED AND CHARGED TO THE GOV., TH

POPSIran-Iraq relations Our intoduction of Democracy saw the Shiite majority ruling Iraqi gov. Unfortunately, Shiites are the majority in Iran, so relations between the two are stronger than ever. The U.S. will definitely have it's hands in the Iraqi gov. for some time to come to prevent Iran's tyranical influence in the region from spreading. This is why the U.S. set up a new gov. in Iraq more based on the ideology of money from oil, not to stablize unrest in the region as reported in the news in the U.S. The current Iraqi gov. is causing unrest in the country because it's not representive of the Iraqi general public. Wow, Democracy, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Who'd a thunk?

POPSThe Nuclear Chain Depleted Uranium is also used during the current Iraq conflict, however, such rounds are being used in much more densely pouplated areas, exposing greater amounts of civilians to radiation which will have many life threatening implications down the road. (i.e. birth defects, rise in cancer cases)

POPSUSA act Yet, another bill which stiffles our civil liberties. In particular, this act grants police authorities to search and seizure w/o a warrant if deemed suspect. This probably is a abused by officials on a regular basis.

POPSThe Electromagnetic Bomb - a Weapon of Electrical Mass Destruction Invisible, concentrated microwaves emitted from a bomb, have the capability of destroying all electronic devices rendering them useless. Everything we use is powered by electricity, running water, phones, cars, computers, traffic signals. Imagine a new dark age in a city where one of these bombs detonated. Scary, this is the new frontier of weapons.
