POPSWith Arlington Cemetery As a Backdrop, Judge Swears In 70 Immigrants "I did it to honor our country's warriors and to give the new citizens a sense for what makes this country great," Ellis said. The judge, known for his thorough legal opinions and an occasionally irascible demeanor, said he "didn't want any politicians" attending the ceremony. After the immigrants took their oath, Ellis greeted each one personally, choking up as he hugged a new citizen wearing a U.S. Navy uniform. He then told a woman from Iraq that he was "honored that you chose to be an American." "This is truly a wonderful day," said Ellis, his voice cracking, as he gave an emotional tribute to the virtues of citizenship, U.S. history and the warriors buried around him. "It is a wonderful day for each of you, because today you will join the land of the free and the home of the brave."

POPSDrivers Say US Should Drill for Oil on Federal Lands The hypocrisy is amazing. The US government (?) wants other countries to drill for more oil in their land but we can't touch our own. Drill! And while we're doing it, Congress needs to free up the fast tracks for nuclear, solar, coal and wind. Frankly, I don't care what the rest of the world is paying for a gallon of gas. That's for *their* people to address. If Congress wants to ruin our economy completely...they'll do nothing. And a ruined American economy is a very serious problem for the rest of the World.

POPSThe Masons and the Moors
The Masons and the Moors BY MEHMET SABEHEDDIN The origins of Freemasonry – as would be expected of such a "venerable secret society" – are shrouded in myth, legend and almost impenetrable obscurity. Since at least the late 18th century Masonic writers have sought to establish a link between the Knights Templar and the Freemasons. Freemasonic lore and symbols have been traced to ancient Egypt and Phoenicia. Yet, despite all the books and articles exploring Freemasonry published over the last hundred years, there is one area that has not received attention. It concerns Freemasonry's debt to Islamic mysticism and a shadowy tradition connecting the Masons with the Moors of North Africa. Moorish Science The involvement of Freemasons in the establishment of the United States of America is well documented. In fact Masons featured so prominently in drafting the American Declaration of Independence that many people believed it a thoroughly `Masonic project'. Not only Georg

POPSPyramids packed with fossil shells. They say that seashells prove that the rock was quarried, instead of cast in moulds. I can't imagine how making their own 10 tonne bricks in moulds would have made things any easier. Maybe just adding another stage to a process that was already a huge undertaking. I also heard once that after something is build it hasto 'settle' into into it's foundations, Very few builders or architects have been able to find a way to overcome this, but with their weight, and perfect seams with no mortar, the pyramids have only settled a fraction - perhaps a few inches, over thousands of years. Something that seems much more likely with solid rock than bricks. If only the library in Alexandria hadn't burned down with all of the blueprints.

POPSEgypt detains 95 over general strike It was quieter than usual on Sunday and the weather matched the mood of the city. There was a dust storm, a khamsin. The tallest buildings in downtown Cairo were invisible, riot police were in force at Midan Tahrir. Classes were canceled at schools and universities. People are fed-up with class disparity and corruption. It is unclear who initiated the call which snowballed after some 25,000 employees at the textile plant in Mahalla announced plans to strike from Sunday over low salaries and price hikes. On Saturday the interior ministry threatened "immediate and firm measures against any attempt to demonstrate, disrupt road traffic or the running of public establishments and against all attempts to incite such acts."
