POPSUnexplained Mysteries of Werewolves The mythological belief in werewolves has been with us for centuries. Many historians and folklorists have pondered the origins of the belief in lycanthropy, which is really the human ability to change into not only wolves but bears, big cats and other dangerous creatures. Of all of these transformations though, that of man into wolf is the best known.

POPSSusu For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.

POPSThe decade that was…. The last of the first decade of 21st century has started. In this decade we have faced many revolutions like wars, diseases, floods and other natural disasters to follow.

POPSWars sending U.S. into ruin. Obama’s Afghan “surge” of 30,000 new troops will cost an additional $33 billion — more than Germany’s total defence budget. Military and intelligence spending relentlessly increase as unemployment heads over 10% and the economy bleeds red ink. America has become the Sick Man of the Western Hemisphere, an economic cripple like the defunct Ottoman Empire. The Pentagon now accounts for half of total world military spending. Add America’s rich NATO allies and Japan, and the figure reaches 75%. China and Russia combined spend only a paltry 10% of what the U.S. spends on defence. There are 750 U.S. military bases in 50 nations and 255,000 service members stationed abroad, 116,000 in Europe, nearly 100,000 in Japan and South Korea. Military spending gobbles up 19% of federal spending and at least 44% of tax revenues. During the Bush administration, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars — funded by borrowing — cost each American family more than $25,000.

POPSWhy Ronald Reagan was the Greatest President of the 20th Century
Reagan had three parts to his genius. First, he was a visionary; he believed that people wanted freedom and would do well when more of it was given to them. Whether he was undermining the Soviets, challenging an unlawful union, or deregulating oil production he tried to move in a consistent direction of greater freedom and less government. According to Dinesh D’Souza, “Reagan’s greatness derives in large part from the fact that he was a visionary—a conceptualizer who was able to see the world differently from the way it was.” Reagan knew where he wanted to go: Jimmy Carter, by contrast, had multiple plans to create energy, to generate revenue, and to cut inflation. Often they were contradictory; all of them failed. Reagan was more consistent because he had vision: He knew where he wanted to go and how he wanted to get there. Second, Reagan had character, and in the eyes of America’s Founders, character was a necessary ingredient for greatness. Reagan stood for a set of ideas, and

POPS Monetary Stimulus Produces Phony Recovery
“Pres. George W. Bush…came into office when annual federal spending was $1.86 trillion. He proposed to increase spending at a healthy clip, rising to $2.71 trillion by 2011. “Bush and his team started blowing their budget almost immediately. They kept spending more and more " wars, a giant new homeland-security bureaucracy, a big-government response to Katrina, the prescription-drug bill, doubling K-12 education spending, big pay raises for federal workers, financial bailouts, and so on. I can’t think of a single crisis that occurred on President Bush’s watch that the Bush-Rove team didn’t have an interventionist and big-spending response to. “In Bush’s last year, FY2009, the government spent $1 trillion more than the Bush-Rove team had originally planned. It is true that 2009 spending included $112 billion for the Obama stimulus bill, so let’s take that out. With that adjustment, the Bush-Rove team ended up spending $916 billion more annually by 2009 than they had .....

POPSRevisiting the Swine Flu Lies and Hysteria Along with the U.S. government’s numerous military entanglements, there are a series of “smaller” wars that the state carries out against the people who reside within its borders. These “wars” all bear the crisis logo, and they are always targeted at protecting you from something – real, exaggerated, or contrived – that requires massive government intervention and the curtailment of liberties in order to win the war.

POPSUnder GOP/McCain Record Deficits Would Have Happened - Reports McCain's Top Campaign Advisor In December 2009, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities concluded that the then-$1.4 trillion annual deficit run by the government under Obama had much to do with the Bush administration's package of tax cuts, the wars it launched in Iraq and Afghanistan and its response to the recession. Those findings mirrored a report released a month earlier by the Democratic-leaning Center for American Progress -- which concluded that much of the deficit was owed to the decrease in tax receipts the federal government was receiving as a result of the recession.

POPSPressing Ashgabat on Refusniks
Apparently it is a Human Right to leave and return to your country and we have been fighting for this in Turkmenistan. But we're not fighting for this in the Gaza Strip. Thus: Realization #1 about USA whining about human rights -- it's part of the propaganda blather for our wars. Realization #2 starts with wondering Why? our government is funding students in Turkmenistan: Because we are training spies and promoting covert political and military agitation.(Like in Iran). Now that the War with Iran seems more inevitable (2-days ago Blair managed to spin a whole rap about it when he was instead suppose to be on the hot seat for Iraq -- an amazing achievement). 2-days ago President Obama warned of "dire consequences." in his State of the Union. Announced Today: New "defensive," (LOL) missiles moved into Arab states surrounding Iran & more missile warships to Persian Gulf. We're good to go, it seems. If we go through Iran and get to Ashgabat, we will ALL the Caspian S

POPSRemember the Illegal Destruction of Iraq? The top British legal officer had concluded that the war would be illegal, only to change his mind under substantial pressure shortly before the invasion. Several weeks ago, a formal investigation in the Netherlands -- whose government had supported the invasion -- produced the first official adjudication of the legality of the war, and found it illegal, with "no basis in international law." all of this stands in stark and shameful contrast to the U.S., which pointedly refuses to "look back" or concern itself with whether it waged an illegal (and horribly destructive) war itical leaders must never be accountable for actions they take while in power; and (2) whether something they do is "illegal" -- especially the starting of wars -- is utterly irrelevant

POPSTargeted Killings of US Citizens? Yes We Can! President Obama's efforts at disrupting Al Qeada have been marked by a major increase in drone attacks and the use of US Special Forces in short end effective operations against other targets as required. This strategy seems much more pragmatic and is arguably the best way to tackle the Al Qaeda threat around the globe, versus the launching of major campaigns or 'wars' which ties down your forces to specific geographical locations. However there is one interesting continuation from the Bush era; the authority to kill US citizens abroad. This should obviously present many legal and ethical issues for any administration but at present the threshold seems to be set at if the person "a continuing and imminent threat to U.S. persons and interests". Is a US citizen chooses to join an organisation such as A Qaeda then "they are then part of the enemy".
