POPSAmerica's Epitaph Karl Marx dismissed God as a hoax, and Lenin and Stalin have added in clear-cut, unmistakable language their resolve that no nation, no people who believe in a god, can exist side by side with their communistic state. Karl Marx, for example, expelled people from his Communist Party for mentioning such things as love, justice, humanity or morality. He called this "soulful ravings" and "sloppy sentimentality." . . . Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. The modern champions of communism have selected this as the time, and ladies and gentlemen, the chips are down--they are truly down.

POPSMalalai Joya, Afghanistan Woman Speaks Out For expressing my views I have been expelled from my seat in parliament, and I have survived numerous assassination attempts. The fact that I was kicked out of office while brutal warlords enjoyed immunity from prosecution for their crimes should tell you all you need to know about the "democracy" backed by Nato troops. In the constitution it forbids those guilty of war crimes from running for high office. Yet Karzai has named two notorious warlords, Fahim and Khalili, as his running mates for the upcoming presidential election. Under the shadow of warlordism, corruption and occupation, this vote will have no legitimacy, and once again it seems the real choice will be made behind closed doors in the White House. As we say in Afghanistan, "the same donkey with a new saddle".

POPSTexas Man Sues Own Parents Over His Turning into an Asshole "when he attended classes at Apache Middle School. He too remembers it differently, "It was young Greg who was expelled for wearing his Mom's underwear to the 8th grade dance." Studley asserts in his lawsuit that the reason he had to move away to a gay-oriented large city was to cushion the emotional pain he was now feeling as an adult. He also claims he's under-employed at the moment because there are very few work places that allow him to wear older women's undergarments over his street clothes while employed. He is seeking an unspecified amount of money in his suit. Elmer 'Chuck Wagon' Studley, age 72, is Greg Studley's Dad. He says him and the Missus had very little to do with the way young Greg turned out. "Yup, he turned into an asshole all by his self!"

POPSCan trauma cause dementia?
She said: 'They had suffered extreme stress, losing their homes, and having their lives threatened, sometimes by people who were once their neighbours. 'The ones who had the worst symptoms (of dementia) now were those who had suffered most at the time. 'These people needed help when they were ten or 20, not when they were 65.' Dr Ritchie continued: 'Although research has not been carried out on Second World War veterans it is fair to assume that a lot of the dementia we have here in that age group is a result of the war. 'There are people around the world still suffering the trauma of war and other disasters and they too could be part of future generations of dementia. 'We in the post-war generation are lucky to have escaped that kind of large-scale trauma, but it does raise the question of how we would cope if we were faced now with that kind of situation.' She added: 'We are all a bit like Russian dolls. It may be the child inside us that carries the risk factor.'

POPSThe Arab Peace Initiative: Arab Generosity, Israeli Intransigence 'There are no indications that the current American peace efforts are likely to produce any results. The Americans have, despite much persistence, lost the first and only round. Israel did not budge on the issue of stopping building settlements regardless of how trivial this issue is in comparison to others. Yet the Arabs have to shoulder the blame once more. To save face the American side had to deal with the issue of the settlement freeze not as a bilateral American-Israeli matter, but as part of a larger package. They conditioned Israeli compliance on Arab readiness for instant normalisation. This formula made it easy to press the claim that the Arab reluctance to start normalising must be blamed for Israeli rejection of the American demand of settlement freeze.'

POPSIranian reformers press on; Moussavi "ready for martyrdom" "I am ready for martyrdom" vows Moussavi. Obama: “Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. The Iranian people will ultimately judge the actions of their own government. If the Iranian government seeks the respect of the international community, it must respect the dignity of its own people and govern through consent, not coercion. “Martin Luther King once said: ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.’ ” I believe that. The international community believes that. And right now, we are bearing witness to the Iranian peoples’ belief in that truth, and we will continue to bear witness.” Well said! Direct US involvement would ruin the resistance by branding it American - backed. Obama does well to stand back and let Iranians decide their own fate.

POPSA Revolutionary Mass in the Streets of Tehran What’s going to happen?, you ask. Nobody knows, even the major actors. The regime has the guns, and the opposition has the numbers. The question is whether the numbers can be successfully organized into a disciplined force that demands the downfall of the regime. Yes, I know that there have been calls for a new election, or a runoff between Mousavi and Ahmadinezhad. But I don’t think that’s very likely now. The tens of millions of Iranians whose pent-up rage has driven them to risk life and limb against their oppressors are not likely to settle for a mere change in personnel at this point. And the mullahs surely know that if they lose, many of them will face a very nasty and very brief future. If the disciplined force comes into being, the regime will fall. Michael J. Totten - 06.16.2009

POPSNeo-Nazis are in the Army now
Army regulations prohibit soldiers from participating in racist groups, and recruiters are instructed to keep an eye out for suspicious tattoos. Before signing on the dotted line, enlistees are required to explain any tattoos. At a Tampa recruitment office, though, Fogarty sailed right through the signup process. "They just told me to write an explanation of each tattoo, and I made up some stuff, and that was that," he says. Soon he was posted to Fort Stewart in Georgia, where he became part of the 3rd Infantry Division. In 2003, Fogarty was sent to Iraq. For two years he served in the military police, escorting officers, including generals, around the hostile country. He says he was granted top-secret clearance and access to battle plans. Fogarty speaks with regret that he "never had any kill counts." But he says his time in Iraq increased his racist resolve. "I hate Arabs more than anybody, for the simple fact I've served over there and seen how they live," he tells me. "They'r

POPSThe International Criminal Court on Dafur The International Criminal Court is accepting supporting evidence of children's drawings of the alleged crimes committed in Darfur. Adam, 15, wrote: "Look at these pictures carefully, and you will see what happened in Darfur. Thank you." Bakhid was eight years old when he saw his village being attacked and burned by Janjaweed forces on horse back and Sudanese forces in vehicles and tanks. One young artist named Aisha said: "It is very kind to send us food, but this is Africa and we are used to being hungry. What I ask is that you please take the guns away from the people who are killing us."

POPSLiberal Bloggers target Christian Scholl for enforcing it's rules This is more than an attack by liberals on Christians. This is illustrative of something that has been going on for ages. Contracts in general have been allowed to be broken when ‘something’ comes up that gives the signer ‘second thoughts’. We take contracts too lightly because there is always some lawyer willing to take the issue to court. This is an attack on an organization that just happens to be a Christian school enforcing its rules on someone who is knowingly breaking those rules. Bottom line: a contract is a contract. If its provisions are not upheld and enforced then the contract loses all authority and meaning. Liberal or not, this tenant must be followed. Anyone breaking a contract should face penalties. Period. Why is this being turned into a Liberal vs Christian thing?

POPSDealing with the Christian Taliban Before all of you folks start writing angry emails directed my way, give some thought as to just what the Christian Taliban are doing in this country today. They have openly called for a “Fatwah” against so-called “activist judges” and they openly defend hatred directed toward gays, as well as single women with children. They censure, with excommunication as well as other sanctions, anyone who strays from their dogmatic and narrow viewpoint.

POPSRussia to Oust Canadian Diplomats Georgian Defense Ministry spokesman David Dzhokhadze said in the capital Tbilisi that no battlefield maneuvers were planned until at least May 11. Until then, organizational meetings would dominate proceedings, he said. Mr. Dzhokhadze said Georgia expects 15 countries to take part in the exercises after official notification from Switzerland, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Serbia that they wouldn't take part. Armenia, which is dependent on Russia for its economic survival, said Tuesday that its military wasn't taking part. Mr. Dzhokhadze said Georgia had received no official confirmation of that. Georgia put down a mutiny of several hundred army officers of a tank battalion near Tbilisi on Tuesday.
