Prelude to Hillary/Warner 08

by: Stephen Oakes


With all the debate and discussion in regards to the 2008 Presidential race, Ill throw in my two cents. At first, I thought maybe Mark Warner (D-Virginia) really does want to spend time with family and live a normal life. Yea right!

Last night I came to my senses

I pondered, if I were a politician who had recently been testing the presidential waters for a year and worked hard to gather support and funds for other Demo

Dick Morris on Hillary Rodham Clinton 2008

by: Stephen Oakes


The other night on Hannity & Colmes, Dick Morris, who is known for his political commentaries and unbiased outlook, stated that in general people have the wrong perception about Hillarys chances to win the Presidency of the United States.

He states that the Democratic nomination for Hillary is not necessarily guaranteed. In his opinion, if Al Gore were to run, there is a chance that he would siphon off votes from the left and make th

North Korea: A Nuclear Player

by: Stephen Oakes


The days of a non-nuclear Korean peninsula are over. With troops from the United States bogged down in Iraq and ineffective multilateral talks with North Korea, the world is on track for another major disaster.

So, what can be done to confront this nuclear threat?

The current situation can not be addressed by the United States alone. It is my fear that the Republican majority in all branches of U.S. government will con

Harmful Spending Habits

by: Nancy Smith


A lot of people are quite compulsive where shopping is concerned. In order to maintain a balance between what we earn and can spend, we need to make a budget before buying. We buy things out of impulse not out of necessity, and that is the most common mistake a lot of us make when shopping. More so during the holidays. People need to learn how to control overusing their credit cards and the unnecessary little gifts for everybody.

You Are Being Politically Manipulated

by: Steve Gillman


Have you ever had a friend hit you with the classic word trap, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Answer yes or answer no, and you incriminate yourself. This joke is based on the technique of using an implicit premise. While it may get a laugh, it is also used by politicians as more than a joke.

Political manipulation is most effectively accomplished when you control the framework in which others can argue and, ultimately, think.

Iraq Study Group Calling Thomas Jefferson

by: Richard Stoyeck


Next week, the Iraq Study Group, a committee of so-called WISE MEN, will go public on what they feel the United States should do to extract itself from the current civil war in Iraq. I believe that among their recommendations will be:

" Entering into diplomatic negotiations with both Syria and Iran to get their help in settling the violent internal situation in Baghdad.

" The embedding of US troops directly into Ira

BBC Free Speech Snub Spawns Rival Independent Today Forum

by: Peter Smith


Amid fury from the vast majority of its most prolific members last week, the BBC announced that it was changing the format of its online Message Boards. Despite accusations of a deliberate attack on free speech, the "Beeb" stuck to its plan to reduce the number from 5 to 2, and most controversially to prevent members starting their own topics. This has now led to the appearance of a rival "Independent BBC Today Forum" at

Media in Society

by: Stephen Oakes


Last night I saw a debate on television about what role the media is to play in our society. I found one speaker to be somewhat appalling. This person argued against the involvement of media in our societal discussion on issues that matter. Well sir, you are dead wrong...

Now if you happen to be on the right youd be saying, "Well there is an obvious liberal bias in most of the media we receive and hear." I agree with you to a certain

The Environment: A Global Overview

by: Larry Butz


It is not difficult to become a believer in global warming. According to the U.S. National Climatic Data Center 2001 was the second warmest year on record and it was the 23rd consecutive year of above normal temperatures. Perhaps most troubling is the fact that the rate of temperature increase is accelerating. Add to this the data just released from insurer Munich Re stating that deaths from natural disasters were more than double in 2001 versus 2000

Lost in Translation: California Community Dispute Resolution Programs Denied Funding

by: Elizabeth Moreno


In 1986, the California legislature enacted a statute to fund a Dispute Resolution Program. In enacting this statute the Legislature recognized that the resolution of many disputes is unnecessarily costly, time consuming and complex when achieved through formal court proceedings. As a result, the legislature intended for the funds to be directed to the community to develop an informal resolution of disputes in a non-coercive dispute resolution f

The Leo Wanta Saga, Pt. 21: Ambassador Leo Wanta Provides Key Update On $4.5 Trillion Earmarked for American People

by: Greg Szymanski


According to Ambassador Leo Wanta in direct communication with London financial writer, Christopher Story, a "blatant and scandalous" diversion of the $4.5 trillion settlement entered into by Wanta and U.S. authorities has taken place, blocking the vast sum of money from being used to revitalize the American economy.

Ever since President Bush and the Federal Reserve Board, without legal justification, blocked the settlement and then

The Leo Wanta Saga, Pt. 23: White House Still Not Talking about $4.5 Trillion Wanta Settlement

by: Greg Szymanski


The White House continues to stonewall repeated attempts to uncover who, what, when where and why the $4.5 trillion Ambassador Leo Wanta settlement has been unscrupulously and illegally blocked.

Repeated attempts by the Arctic Beacon to get to the "absolute bottom" of what has been called "a story that will determine the fate of the American Republic" have been totally ignored by those holding the highest offices in the land without

by: Greg Szymanski


The Ambassador Leo Wanta story has been ringing in the ears of high level officials all over the world for the last two weeks ever since President Bush and the Federal Reserve Board refused to honor a $4.5 trillion written agreement to release the money for the betterment of the American economy.

The Leo Wanta Saga, Pt. 25: No Release Yet of $4.5 Trillion of Wanta Funds Earmarked for the Benefit of the American People

by: Greg Szymanski


With the immediate implementation of what has been called " The Wanta Plan" everyone benefits except the Illuminati and New World Order, according to London financial writer Christopher Story in his latest article.

And this is exactly why, Story adds, $4.5 trillion has been illegally withheld by the corrupt Bush administration instead of releasing the agreed upon settlement to Ambassador Leo Wanta and the American people.

Tony Blair on Genetically Modified Food Debate

by: James Wachai


This week, I want to idolize British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, because of remarks he made last week on genetically modified foods.

Addressing a group of scientists last week, Mr. Blair suggested that opponents of genetically modified foods arent "rational" when debating this issue.

"Government must show leadership and courage in standing up for science and rejecting an irrational public debate around it [GM food]," sa

by: Greg Szymanski


The human interest element of the Ambassador Leo Wanta story is every bit as intriguing and important as the financial aspects of the $4.5 trillion settlement waiting to be used for the best interests of the American people.

Ambassador Wanta recently entered into a written agreement with high level U.S. authorities to repatriate the vast sum of money, estimated to be only a small portion of the $27.5 trillion had been trying to prot

According to Michael C. Cottrell, treasurer of the financial group waiting to distribute $4.5 trillion to the American people, Ambassador Leo Wanta assured him on Thursday the money eventually will be released, as corrupt U.S. authorities withholding it illegally are "backing themselves into a tighter and tighter corner."

The Leo Wanta Saga, Pt.26: Wanta Story Not Over By A Long Shot; $4.5 Trillion Still To Be Released Into U.S. Economy

by: Greg Szymanski


The continuing saga of Ambassador Leo Wanta is not over by a long shot. It‘s not over until ‘the Fat Lady sings‘, as they say, even though U.S. authorities are trying hard to make the story disappear, acting like a bunch of second rate magicians in a cheap Las Vegas night club act.

In what has been called by influential financial observers the single-most important story facing the American people, what is most dis

Unique Approach To Voting During The Upcoming Election

by: Lynn Wertheimer


Decisions, decisions! Here comes another election. You know its getting close when you get the sample ballot in the mail. And of course there are the signs in the yards, the newspaper ads, and direct mailings. Another indication that the election is near is the amount of TV and radio advertising and the intensity of the messages. More of the ads seem to be negative the closer to Election Day.

According to Michael C. Cottrell, treasurer of the company formed by Ambassador Leo Wanta to distribute $4.5 trillion in repatriated off shore money, the Vatican is not involved in the behind the scenes shenanigans of blocking the release of the money.

by: Greg Szymanski


The Ambassador Leo Wanta story gets stranger and stranger with each passing day, as the Arctic Beacon editor has been targeted with harassment and threats ever since about a week ago when he began "putting under the microscope" whether the Vatican and Jesuit Order were using Wanta and this publication as patsies.

An Introduction to Factory Farming

by: Larry Parker


Wikipedia states that "Factory farming is a term used to describe a set of controversial practices in large-scale, intensive agriculture, usually referring to the industrialized production of livestock, poultry, and fish. The methods deployed are geared toward making use of economies of scale to produce the highest output at the lowest cost."

At first glance, one can‘t help but notice a few interesting terms in this definition,

The Leo Wanta story draws the line between the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, drawing the proverbial line in the sand between the forthright adventurers searching for the truth and those underground rascals of Satan who just can‘t stand a good story when they read one.
