In part one, we revealed there are only two kinds of government when you strip away all the smoke and mirrors. Big Government (BG) or Limited Government (LG). Or as we will see in this chapter, “top down” or “bottom up.” The choice you make determines if you support freedom or slavery. Today we’re going to talk about why in more detail. To start, I need to say that this chapter explores the role of religion as a tool of statecraft. It’s going to discuss how rulers use religion to get what they want. It is not a comment on...

On a recent Monday morning in southern Brooklyn, 20 kindergarteners sat on a rug, staring up at a photo of President Obama. Their teacher, Nitzan Graham, asked them, in Hebrew, to identify the parts of Obama's face, and the children were ecstatic, yelling out the Hebrew words for "nose" and "mouth." When the ruckus had died down, Graham asked Jasmine, a 5-year-old African-American girl with pigtails, to stand up. "What are these?" the teacher asked, pointing to Obama's eyes. "Ena'im!" the girl said gleefully. It's a typical morning at the Hebrew Language Academy, a charter school mostly funded by the...

Gov. Christie today declared that New Jersey had veered to the edge of bankruptcy and ordered a broad array of state cuts in an effort to make up a $2.2 billion deficit in the current budget amid falling revenues.

"Today, we come to terms with the fact that we cannot spend money on everything we want,'' Christie told a special joint session of the legislature. "The...

There are claims of government attempts at tightening its grip on industry and business In the official language, such terms as "excessive earnings," "speculative earnings," and "fair prices," are more and more repeated to condemn speculation. Some of them will take legal shape. Mario Isea, the president of the National Assembly Economic Development Commission, confirmed it on January 20. In addition to the fast approval of the reform to the Law on Indepabis (Institute for the Defense of People in the Access to Goods and Services), the government will take steps towards a new Commercial Code, a law to regulate...

Our state is in fiscal crisis and our taxes are the highest in the nation. But that isn't stopping the Democrats in Trenton. Instead of looking to cut spending and lower our taxes, they are pushing through a series of tax-hiking bills in order to pay off their union backers. All of this during the lame duck session while Jon Corzine has one foot out the door and they think the rest of us aren't paying attention. Specifically, there are four pieces of legislation making their way through the legislature, all of which would mandate that prevailing wage requirements be...

THE Roads and Traffic Authority has proudly announced the success of a road safety program - for our State's native wildlife. To reduce the number of animals killed on NSW roads each year, the RTA has installed more than 200 animal crossings on NSW highways. Rather than wait for a break in the constant flow of traffic, native animals are using specifically built tunnels and bridges to cross roads. And some of Australia's favourite native creatures have been smiling for the cameras as they scurry by. A little possum was snapped crossing over a rope bridge that hangs above the...

The World Health Organization tried this week to dampen fears about mutations seen in the swine flu virus in several countries, noting that both mutations had been found in very few people. A change that created Tamiflu resistance has been found in about 75 people around the world, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, chief flu adviser to the W.H.O.’s director general. Two clusters, in cancer units at Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina and a hospital in Wales, were both among patients whose immune systems had been severely suppressed by cancer treatment; some had had their bone marrow, which produces...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2009 – Realignment of military medical facilities in the national capital region ordered by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission is on track to meet the commission’s deadline, senior Defense Department officials said here yesterday.

Middleton, acting principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs. “We are...
