Occupy Atlanta Partnered With Nation Of Islam?
In my last post I talked about “Citizen MIlitia shows up (at Occupy Phoenix demonstration) with machine guns wearing military fatigues to protect the Occupiers from the Police”. Today’s situation goes little further…The rumor is “Occupy Atlanta Partnered With Nation Of Islam”… Stupid are those that feel all these GLOBAL protests are about democracy or about throwing the dictators. There is nothing democratic nor political about these protests – From Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Syria, Morocco, Greece, Italy to various cities in the USA. Protests and riots have reached to 1700 cities and 80 countries WORLDWIDE. These are clear signs of THE ECONOMIC RIOTS of the future that are staring at us. Unfortunately the fools of Cambridge and Harvard do not get it…not will they ever until it happens. When food and money is taken … Read entire article »
Do the UN, and India deserve each other?!
No representation for 1.2 billion Indians on the UN Security Council “Any Human Rights Council reform that allows countries with despicable human rights records to remain as members, such as Libya, Iran, Syria, China and Saudi Arabia, is not real reform.” - Michael McCaul, US Congressman from Texas “Hezbollah-Controlled Lebanon now presides over the UN Security Council. This means, in effect, that a terror organization presides over a body entrusted with guaranteeing the world’s security. You couldn’t make this thing up.” - Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel “Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.” - Chanakya, 370-283 BC – Council to Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, 340-293 BC, and author of the seminal “Arthasastra.” Recently, our dear family friend, a brilliant cardiologist, … Read entire article »

US, Pakistan & Afghan: Asymmetric Political and Military Relationships
As a graduate student my term paper for an application of nuclear technology to elucidate mechanisms of chemical reactions – on the secondary isotope effects – earned a grade of A++. There is an asymmetry of 10 to 1 or higher in importance of the primary to secondary isotope effects. In trying to explain new data related to the primary isotope effect my inexperience as a budding scientist was exposed when I tried to link it to the secondary isotope effects. I learned an important lesson from my adviser, who pointed out that the primary isotope effects dominate the secondary isotope effects by a factor of more than 10. Some do and others don’t learn important life lessons through mistakes related to the importance of asymmetric relationships. The blog cites couple … Read entire article »

A Middle-East Democracy; The Perfect Oxymoron!
What is really ‘The Arab Spring,’ their hope or ours? “… democracy is a product of western culture, and it cannot be applied to the Middle East which has a different cultural, religious, sociological and historical background.” - Tayyip Erdogan,PM of Turkey, 2003-present Cultures are wrought over centuries. A culture evolves, develops and calcifies slowly over generations with rote reinforcement of a set of tangible and intangible values. In fact, what you continuously choose, eventually metastasizes into your genes. This hypothesis was explored by John Cloud in a 2010 article for the TIME magazine, titled: “Why your DNA isn’t your destiny: The new science of Epigenetics reveal how the choices you make can change your genes.” The Nabataens – the secular pre-Islamic Arabs, the Dutch, and the Venetians didn’t become great merchants … Read entire article »
