POPSShipping Containers Converted into Homes for Urban Poor "Finally, a home of our own" - the foundation of PFNC, whose goal is to provide housing to those who most desperately need it around the globe. PFNC utilizes surplus shipping containers resulting from the United States' consistent trade deficit. The containers serve as the building block of PFNC housing, after an extensive conversion process to make them a home. They designed a galley-style kitchen with a stove, sink, refrigerator and dinette, and a 48 sq. ft. bathroom with a pedestal sink, shower and commode, a bunk area for children; separate sleeping quarters for the owners. A half million people could benefit from such homes in Juarez, Mexico alone. Affordable for the average worker at manufacturing plants in Mexico along the U.S. border...instead of a cardboard shack, a real home, offered as a employee benefit in "a work to own" housing program. PFNC doesn't intend just to build shelter: it wants to build communities.

POPSWhen Rules and Regulations Don't Mean Squat This is indicative of the lackadaisical attention being paid to rules and regulations that are designed to prevent this from happening. This situation is widespread in both the government and private sectors. Weapons and money have been 'lost' or 'misplaced' in Iraq; weapons and laptops are 'lost' or 'misplaced' by the FBI and ATF; personal records are 'lost' or 'misplaced' by trusted organizations; and the American economy is in the toilet. All because individuals are circumventing rules and procedures because they don't take their responsibilities seriously or use loopholes to better their personal financial situation, usually at our expense. And all we the taxpayers ever get out of this is a bogus line such as "We are revising our procedures". As long as people in responsible positions disregard procedure or undermine rules we the general public will always suffer the most.

POPSConflict Over Spying Led White House to Brink Cont.... Joel Brenner and Vito Potenza, the two men wilting under Addington's wrath, had driven 26 miles from Fort Meade, the NSA's eavesdropping headquarters in Maryland. They were conducting a review of their agency's two-year-old special surveillance operation. They already knew the really secret stuff : The NSA and other services had been unleashed to turn their machinery inward, collecting signals intelligence inside the United States. What the two men didn't know was why the Bush administration believed the program was legal.

POPSWorld’s Gutter Governments To Sit In Judgment Over U.S. Human Rights Record However, even in other highly advanced English speaking nations such as Australia and Canada, these offences can be defined in such a way as “disparaging” a religion. This can consist of claiming that the doctrines of your faith are superior to that of another sect under consideration such as in the case of a Canadian ministry that pointed out the shortcomings of the Watchtower Society and in the case of McClean’s Magazine where those pointing out the intentions of radical Islamists have been sued for racial defamation but no action has been taken against the aspiring Jihadists wanting to kill people. Frankly, one could spend several lifetimes rifling through the human rights records of many of the nations on the U.N. Humans Rights Council and still not have the time to air America’s dirty laundry which is nothing more than a single used piece of toilet paper when compared to these cesspool countries.
