The words to this immigration issue have all been said before but I guess they got to be repeated. It’s easy for Shakira to say what she says, that we should overlook the illegal issues (and in essence, that is what she is really saying), and not profile them, she’s legal, thus, no problem. And the folks that get stopped to be checked for proper entry cards are not legal inmost cases, what’s the problem, you got to carry your license and SSAN card around, so why not your green card, or whatever. Shakira is just trying to justify the unjustifiable. When I travel I obey the laws, and carry my passport—no problem, and obey the other county’s laws, and that’s called regard and respect. And these Mexicans are not in any danger, so the statement on the Statue of Liberty does not apply to them, they are not destitute, or in harms way. And they take jobs away from everyone, in a time America needs their own people working, not some other country's, whom will drain America dry, and go home with all the money they made, and have never paid a penny in taxes, and laugh all the way.&lt;br /&gt;       These people are invaders--nothing less, my grandfather came over to America in 1916, legal, and had to fight in WWI, to become a citizen, or be shipped back. Now the Mexican comes across the boarder and says “I want my rights!” And Shakira says “We’re profiling everyone,” but no one’s complaining but the illegal and folks like Shakira, who never went to war or had to fight a day for the soil of America, just drain her juices. I went to Vietnam, I had two uncles in WWII, one died one a POW, and my son went to Bosnia, and my uncle to the Korean War, and how about Shakira and her Mexican family? What have they done for America? Nothing I would expect, if they have, then I apologize for this last statement--but I think I'm more right than wrong.&lt;br /&gt;       These illegal Mexicans don’t even pay taxes (most of the time), turn the music up so their folks in Mexico can hear it, and parade down the American street with Mexican flags, and throw trash all over the place, and that goes for most of South American Countries that come over to the United States also--illegel, and the Cubans, they have no respect for their neighbours—as my mother used to say: if the shoe fits, put it on. That’s called a fact of life, not meant to be a racist or general statement for all, but I live in a South American Country half the time, and been to Mexico several times, and central America, and my home in Minnesota of which I never had a Mexican family that lived around me (and my wife is from Peru, and clean and one of those few that had to pay to get her green card the right way), now I got blaring music all night long, and I have to call the police on the weekends, and they park their cars in front of my house so my guests don’t have any parking space, and they don’t pay a lick of tax, they rent the whole house across the street, and party. In other words, they live different than North American’s and when they get ready to go back home they say: “Now we don’t have to put up will all this crap and laws (which they don’t anyways).” Their laws are worthless they know that, they have them, but nobody enforces them, and that is how they like it. In America they can’t bend the laws so they get folks to feel sorry for them, and try to change the laws.&lt;br /&gt;       Anyhow, I simply see Arizona does not want a little Mexico in their backyard, and I don’t blame them.&lt;br /&gt;       If you wait for Obama to do something about this, you’ll get old fast, I can’t think of a worse and unaware president than him at this moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-323393616519110994?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/323393616519110994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=323393616519110994' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/323393616519110994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/323393616519110994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2010/05/arizonas-new-law-on-immigration-harrah.html' title='Arizona’s New Law on Immigration: Harrah!'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-4319850597015108564</id><published>2010-04-22T15:17:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T07:53:47.935-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Book of Interplanetary Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; The Book of Interplanetary Life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part II&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Introduction:   In the book “The Books behind Methuselah” I have looked into may issues that have bothered me about man’s existence on earth, such as: the rise of man, his encounter with Giants, the Nephilim, and the Old Ones known as the Shinning Ones (or other aliens), and from the Bible and other sources I’ve also looked at personages, such as Adam, and Melchizedek, Darwin, Methuselah, God Himself, and Jesus, the foundation of the demonic world, Lucifer—or the Devil himself, and in particular, the Circle of Refaim as a location, meeting place for the Nephilim. I have gone back perhaps fifty-five million years looking at this overall picture, in the nine previous books within “The Book of Methuselah.”&lt;br /&gt;      One area, in this tenth book now added to the other nine, is “The Book of Interplanetary Life” (for the most part within the Milky Way). There are two questions here for the author to underline: “Has there ever been life, or beings on these planets, perhaps civilizations?” Second, is there any life at all on these planets now?&lt;br /&gt;       I want to look at science, archeology and with a twist of theological rhetoric…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there Life Beyond Earth? &lt;br /&gt;(The short version)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       The tapered point of view is this: yes, yes, to both questions. Perhaps there is life now even on such planets as Jupiter’s moon, Europa, within the liquid water under its icy ocean. Also water has been found on Saturn’s moon Enceladus. And as the old saying goes, where there is water, there is life.&lt;br /&gt;       Mars, scientists say: Mars once had life, because it once had water. Also, many Astrobiologists, within their studies, have proclaimed alien life once existed on Jumper’s moon Europa, or could have: because of the thick ice sheet on that moon, and under that ice, closer to its mantle, hypo-thermal vents  could exist there, give life to such things as worms, living off the gases produced from the vents. So there are possibilities here.&lt;br /&gt;       How about our moon?   My answer to my own question is why not?  But what kind, Is the more rounded out question to be? On Earth, as recent as a few years ago, microbiologists have found some microbes two-miles under the surface of Earth and these have been converted into water; water being made up of two-hydrogen and one-oxygen particle. So now the scientist has been looking at planets like our moon, where water has not been found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meteorites, Microbial, and DNA-based&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my knowledge, there of course are no born moon folk, or people of that status on the moon, other than those we have sent to the moon, on the moon, in the sense of oxygen-breathing or multi-cellular organisms, that have lived on our planets within our solar system, and in particular Mars, but putting that aside for the moment, how about other forms of beings? I mean, creatures, beings with other or different biology or chemistry found on earth? Surely life forms have evolved outside of our solar system on other planets (microbial), and some maybe even transported across space to reach earth. I myself have part of a meteorite, fifty-thousand years old, who’s to say, something was not within that meteorite when it landed in Arizona, at what is now called Meteor Crater? It most likely sailed around our solar system for eons, and then simply landed here on earth one day. Bacteria is a great space traveler, they can withstand almost anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       How about Icy Pluto? Where there is friction and movement, there is heat. If there is ice, and there is ice on Pluto, and if it can melt, and heat makes ice melt, there can be life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       How about the over heated planet Mercury? Most people would so most likely not, being too close to the sun. It would seem most hostile to life (700 Kelvin, or 430 degrees Celsius). On the dark side, it is well below Zero. With no, or nearly no atmosphere, and water, it would seem those ‘Most people’ are right! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       On Mars and the Moon:  perhaps in the Mariner Valley of Mars, which is as long as the United States from New York City to California, and as deep as the highest mountains in the world, and which might have been a source of drainage, or river at one time, life surly could have existed around this monstrous geological wonder.&lt;br /&gt;       But now on Mars with the machines we have sent there, we can boast of seeing three-hundred feet above its surface (and even down to eighty-one feet), seeing massive buildings, as if it might be of a military base of some kind, a Government cover-up, for the most part. When an object fell from one of Earth’s mechanical robots, giant spacecraft came out of hidden areas in the foreground, and circled this item,   with in a  twelve mile zone, or area, there was reported 1500-cases of UFO’s, and NASA, has footage on this I’ve seen.  Along with footage on “T Shaped,” structures, and a Face (1998), which is most likely a landmark of some sort that the government has smudged up for us to look at for some odd reason, these are landing spacecraft, and hidden trees in other structures; also triangle shapes of buildings: a cover-up to a high degree, but why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       On another issue, the Moon has a base on its dark side, with images of tall buildings likewise, and towers, large structures a half mile in size, reflective surfaces, many photos of these have been smudged, again why?.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       It is becoming common for astronauts to have witnessed objects while working out in space on the space shuttle or space station, denied but so very obvious. The only question remains in this area is when will NASA, or our government, acknowledge this publicly? Possible when it becomes most necessary, and when they know the public is acceptable, and not so fearful; or when they want to install fear; some of these aliens maybe friendly, others not so friendly. Some of these alien spacecraft have been measured at going 7000-mph, within our own atmosphere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are the Aliens?&lt;br /&gt;(Past and present)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do the Aliens look like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agharians:  Perhaps there is a great underground world, here on earth, thousands of years old, where aliens have lived. So it has been claimed; in some hollow area inside the Earth, one with a high degree of civilization, economic organization, as well as social and cultural. Such a people have been called the Agharians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alpha Draconis: a reptilian race for the most part; said to have plans of invading the earth when the time is right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Altairians:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amphibians:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Anakim (also referred to the 'Els', short for 'Elder Race' orsimply as the 'Giants' the a part of the Nephilim civilization)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amoeba like creature: a disease carrying creatures found over the artic circle by NASA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Andromedans: who have been here with the other alien races on earth for nearly 6000-years; about 2000 of them, 18,000 others? From what I’ve heard, they’d prefer all aliens leave the Planet Earth, and let us humans sort things out for ourselves. It sounds like as if we can’t, and perhaps we can’t. But it seems they have some values here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historical Data:  Have been within the space community for over three-million years, in the Constellation of Andromeda. Distance from earth that they crisscross—150 to 4,000-light years; Humanoid form of life, in appearance; Nordic-Caucasian. Can also be Asian looking, or oriental? There height ranges from 5.7 feet tall to 7 feet tall. Long fingers and long toes, women slightly shorter; there spacecraft ranges from fifty to sixty-five feet across, command ships are over 2500-feet in length.  Some have called these, the gray demon of the Nephilim. They sinned against the birds and beasts of the world.&lt;br /&gt;Draconian Gray: reptilian type, such skulls have been found in Canada, four fingers (there are many classification in this category or type of alien).&lt;br /&gt;The Draconian Gray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sumerians, from Kodesh to Ur (ancient cities of Iraq): Ancient Sumerians came to set up an advance civilization in the land of Iraq. Pictograph cuneiform writings (of which I have one) can confirm this writing existed, and so did they and they believe their ancestry was of that alien race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Serpent of the Light&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nephilim, Mythological and Biblically Speaking:  I can see a patter developing here, and the  truth of the matter is obvious we are not alone here on planet earth, and haven’t been for a very long time, and we may find this all out at what is referred to: the end of this age, which ends in 2012, so scriptures have indicated.&lt;br /&gt;       On another note, the Milky Way means “Serpent of Light,” in mythology, how it got that name I don’t know, but Lucifer the shadow of the Nephilim is that serpent. This is the serpent that eats its own tail. Now let be backtrack a moment, when I mean find out, I mean, openly find out, it will be pert near spelled out, someone is on their way. The old ones, the gods before Adam—the antichrist, all will appear, will be on our doorsteps, the Nephilm I have mentioned throughout this book, and other books, they are the ones who imparted humankind with its secret knowledge. Some people think on December 21, 2012, we will witness galactic events, I’m not all that reassured on this date, only that, the Army of the Nephilim have designs to return soon to earth, with or without its friends; one-way or another, possible with Lucifer, and surely the antichrist is already here doing his dirty deeds preparing the road out of Washington D.C. and Belgium, and perchance, every capitol in the world, if they do, the conspiracy NASA and other countries are harboring, will open up wide and end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Time:  Time and Space, equals space time, both are intergraded, they are not separate, light is transmitted as a partial, and much of the work believe it or not, is theological. God made a cryptogram of the universe, perhaps in the building of the Jewish Temple, Solomon’s Temple as it is often referred to, and we are or can be, God’s treasure hunters, if indeed we want to undo the riddle. The Jewish Book of Light, gives credence to this statement: creation created can be verified, by sacred Geometry, if one can unscramble the riddle of the Temple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written: 4-21-2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cover Up and Threat&lt;br /&gt;(Alien Integration of Earth)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part II&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Threat:  President Reagan feared a threat from outer space, why? What did he know that we don’t know? And George Adamski claimed to have visited Venus. General Douglas Macarthur said our next great war will be an interplanetary war. Scientist Hermann Oberth, father of modern rockery, said UFO’s are from outer space, and contact has already been established. General George Marshall said contact has been made, and UFO’s could wipe us out if they wished. Admiral Roscoe Hillencoater, first director of the CIA, acknowledged, the next step was up to the Aliens. Others who know about UFO’s and sought out studies in the area were: Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin, Winston Churchill, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter, who said he saw one himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indoctrination:  Believe it or not we are being slowly leaked information; we are being programmed, by television programs, by books on aliens, programmed to accept this once phantom phenomena.&lt;br /&gt;       Had these phenomena been brought out as fact in the 1940s, 1950s, or 1960s, surly our human cultures and institutions would have collapse, and caused chaos, but are we ready now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Learning about their Presence:    We all know Area 51, is an American Alien study area, and we all know 3500-pilots have voiced they’ve run into alien space craft, all documented. And perhaps the silence in this area is because the Aliens want to continue their abductions without any hindrance, as they have been doing. Therefore, they do not wish it to be public recognized as fact, and the Governments of the world, knowing they have no control over it, say nothing in fear the public would demand something, and why buy the cow if you can get the milk free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These aliens, the tall and small gray’s as they are known out of the eleven species of Aliens known, have brought the Russian and American governments under constant threats, some are actually helping these two nations.  Valiant Four, is a name of one of the aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On May 20, 2012, and one June 6, 2012, and on 21 December, of 2012, strange things will be taking place right over our heads, be alert (perhaps the Beginning of World War III)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During  Operation High Jump, Admiral Bird,  and his armada, of ships and planes that went to Antarctica, between Dec 31, 1946 and  January, 1947,  took 70,000 photographs in mapping the continent,  the planes spent 220 –hours in the air doing that, covering 22,700 miles.  After the task was completed, Admiral Bird’s plane was missing for three-hours. He would explain later he was taken into a massive underground city, and spoke with aliens, who had expressed their concern that the Atom Bomb was used, and that in the past, they tried to stay out of the affairs of earthlings, but it would now be impossible. That in the near future, there would be a WWIII, and it would destroy much of the earth, and they would be available to help put back the cultures of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Written. 4-22-2010&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-4319850597015108564?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/4319850597015108564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=4319850597015108564' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/4319850597015108564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/4319850597015108564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2010/04/book-of-interplanetary-life.html' title='The Book of Interplanetary Life'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-8275974720400625124</id><published>2010-04-20T19:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T19:40:10.965-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Blood Lagoon of Taijin, Japan (Dolphines)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Blood Lagoon of Taijin, Japan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1980, now for thirty-years (2010), the fishermen of Taijin, have killed over 750,000-dolphines, within their lagoon. Indeed this is a lot of death, for a high concentrated sea creature full of mercury that is toxic to eat. Why on earth would a group of fishermen want to do that?&lt;br /&gt;       Here is an animal that can swim, forty-miles a day, in the open ocean, yet we keep cooped up in the likes of Sea World, as if they were prisoners of war, to put on shows for mankind, as they die right and left of stress—because of this so called entertainment gimmick. Yes, in many ways they are like humans, they get bleeding ulcers from stress of the high volume of noise their system has to endure, absorb.&lt;br /&gt;       They socialize, and they commit suicide by not taking a last breath when they’ve had enough of the constant expectations man puts upon them—when they have what we call a nervous breakdown, or chronic episode of depression.&lt;br /&gt;       The dolphin hunters of Taijin, they create a wall of sound around these sea creatures, surrounding them, driving them crazy, and into Taijin’s lagoon, and then blocking the lagoon, slaughter them like pigs. And then sell the meat to whomever will buy it, or mix it with other fish, and sell it (there has got to be a better way of making a living). They get about $600-dollars per dolphin, unless they can find a ‘Flipper,’ type dolphin, then they get the gold “$150,000” thus, bringing it on to Sea World.&lt;br /&gt;       It could be said, dolphins are mini whales. They have body language, and can read sign language; they are also self-aware, and can anticipate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       I wouldn’t be writing this article if mankind were starving to death, or if Japan had no other source of produce to sustain their livelihood, but when it comes to senseless killing, and when you fill the lagoon up with blood, you’ve got to be accountable to someone.  Actually, feeding dolphin meat to anyone is damaging to their health, it can cause deformities, and has in many children; it can cause brain damage, sight impairments, hearing loss, and memory loss.&lt;br /&gt;       Have we all become so wicked we no longer have a conscious, or heart, or fear of God, that to rape the seas for no reason other than, a little profit, we will not be judged accordingly—think again.

But let me tell you what I think, and I suppose this is my umpteenth message on the President.&lt;br /&gt;       I’ve noticed in 15-months, he’s played more gulf than President Bush played in eight-years. I’ve noticed with him he likes to smile a lot, when he feels everything is fine and dandy, when things are going his way, if things are not, the friendship fades quick, and he points the finger to ex presidents for his lack in leadership and stability or stabilizing the country, and he will push and push everyone aside to get his way  even if it’s hindsight. He has more excuses than any president I’ve yet to listen to. He has let in more Islamic snakes in America, and now we are becoming a fear based society—I think he likes that. He is at odds with Fox News. He is no model of post-partisanship—as I said, friendly and deadly. He seeks a one world Government, and my guess is he’ll try to hand over our nuclear supply to the UN, so they can direct whom will be under the gun, shoot off the ugly heads of those who defy them: this  is where we are headed folks.&lt;br /&gt;       Fifty Muslims activists now work on Capital Hill today, infiltrating into congress. The Serpent of Genesis is hard at work.&lt;br /&gt;       Soon the banking cartel will enslave mankind, as the United Nations becomes the nuclear watchdog over nations, and they will be the only ones that can push the buttons, America will be at their mercy. It’s called the new world order.&lt;br /&gt;       The New World Order will depopulate world growth, not increase it. The New Age is nothing more than what Communism was prior to it, a big hoax. And we have been sold out and we are being led by megalomaniacs. Sleep well tonight, while you can.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-8435963284004245419?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/8435963284004245419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=8435963284004245419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8435963284004245419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8435963284004245419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2010/04/barack-obamas-one-world-government.html' title='Barack Obama&apos;s: One World Government'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6419369597653789717</id><published>2009-11-02T06:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-02T06:52:25.527-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Letter to Huancayo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By, Poet Laureate, Rev., Dennis L. Siluk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10/9/2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        It should be known that the salvation in Christ is no new   news, but a thing that has been told to all old and young alike—in Godly conversations and in all news medias, schools and Churches as well, accordingly,  as they have now been aware by the word of God of what is expected of them,&lt;br /&gt;       This poet, and writer of Jesus Christ to the strangers and citizens throughout Huancayo, the Mantaro Valley region and beyond,&lt;br /&gt;      Throughout the waking hours of this morning, though the sanctification of the Spirit, I felt I was instructed to write a letter to the City of Huancayo, instructed to follow the First Epistle of Peter ((as a guideline, no more than that)(in doing so, it should be understood, this is simply a message or a warning, not to be considered anything other than that, God is not inclined to add or subtract from His Biblical words, or in giving new prophecies—in the sense of those given in the Old and New Testaments, but it should not be misunderstood, or underestimated a forewarning, a premonition, is different, and it is what I received, and I believe in my heart and soul, God has not stopped giving such signs, or has stopped doing miracles)) —blessed be the Trinity who has shown mercy upon this naked city, and gives it living hope—this call unto the city’s inhabitants is to renew its inheritance, to once again become incorruptible and undefiled, and it His blessing to be, that is reserved in heaven for you,&lt;br /&gt;       That now is the true trial of your heart, and faith, this being to the Lord of Hosts, much more precious than of gold that parishes— For all are tried  in fire, with fire and should they be found unto no praise, nor honor and glory of the words and commandments of the Lord, Jesus Christ, whom (if) He has not seen your love, if you be un-rejoiced with unspeakable criminal minds and full of pride: this is the end of your faith, even to your salvation of your souls, unto whom this is revealed, unto Huancayo, unto themselves, these things written, are  to be ministered, which are now reported, and given to you, written into this letter—you are at the end of your grace, which will be taken away from  you. Therefore be obedient as children, not going your own ways, according to your former lusts, greed, to be righteous in all manners, be holy for I am watching.&lt;br /&gt;      And if you do not show respect by your heart and actions, and call unto the Father without fear, with a vain conversation—you will not be received; being born again, not of corruptible thinking as you are now. The city shall wither like the grass, and the diseased bushes, but by keeping the word of the Lord, the city endured forever. And by this letter it is expressed unto you.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exposure (And I was lead, and felt inspired from the Book of Revelation):  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Greet one another with a fresh heart and a kiss of good will…&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;       He that is unjust, he that is filthy, let him be, I come quickly and my rewards are with me, to give every man and woman, and child of reason, according to thy works.&lt;br /&gt;       Blessed are they that keep the commandments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Words (And I was reminded, and lead to the book of Jonah):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       …the people of the city and its surroundings (of Huancayo), it will be like in the days of Jonah (for this poet does not care to address the city, in particular), I will send out a Great Whale and winds likened unto the sea, a mighty tempest, and the city likened unto a ship will be broken, and the shipmasters (such as: the mayors, and leaders of the cities of the Mantaro Valley region, and beyond…) will cry for mercy, and some will curse the Lord God, but the latter will be worthless, and like Jonah inside the whale, God Almighty, will not spit out the evil back upon the good. And perhaps spare the cities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Personal Note: It would seem to me, many people will think this is some farce; this writer cannot give a message from God to us or an inspired point in a like manner. But let’s look at it a different way. The Pope feels he is giving to the people an inspired message from God at times, as well as the Bishop of Huancayo I would think, or perhaps the T.V. Evangelists, as well as the mayors of the region feel at times the same thing; as we know politicians of this region often do,  they make the sigh of the cross in front of a mass of people, and pray in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary, and praise the Lord all the way to the bank, or to the construction company to get their free handout.  In other words, no matter who is giving the message, and if it be in the name of the Lord, pray for decipherment, discernment and, as Christ said, “In those latter days, there will be many false prophets,” and so true that is. And remember, God often times uses the usable, and available… not always the most outspoken, or the person with the most artful voice; also look at the persons reputation, his or her standing, works, and how they act, not how good of an actor they are. I have noticed in Huancayo, the people have very short memories, make the person preaching, or working for you, or God, accountable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6419369597653789717?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6419369597653789717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6419369597653789717' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6419369597653789717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6419369597653789717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/11/letter-to-huancayo.html' title='A Letter to Huancayo'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6358475181148847785</id><published>2009-10-19T15:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T15:42:30.234-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama Honored for Noble? (God Help us All)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After hearing Obama was honored for the Noble Peace Prize, my wife asked: “Is there something wrong out there in this world,”  she hesitated for my answer, not hearing one, or getting one, then added “is the world wrong, or am I?” she said (after reading the news of Obama’s Nobel Prize, and I knew what she meant). “The world!” I answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don’t have to say this too loud, everyone out there kind of knows this, it’s about war and peace, (the war in Iraq, that Bush put a settlement to, and date onto, to officially stop it, not Obama) Yet Obama gets the prize, which he pretended to shock him, when he knew 17-days into office he was going to get it, not for what he done, but what he said he was going to do.  We all know Obama has done nothing for peace, rather war.&lt;br /&gt;       I haven’t written about Obama for three months trying to see where he’s headed, and it looks to me as if he’s going in circles—or looking in the mirror too much. And if anyone ever buffaloed the public, it is he (Hitler once said: “…it is easier to fool the masses, than the few…” how right he was); Obama has done nothing for nobody but Obama. And in this last straw that I feel broke the camels back, is giving him the Nobel Prize for continuing Ex-president Bush’s policies. &lt;br /&gt;       It only makes the price look less than what it is suppose to be, meant to be. When someone got the Peace Prize, years ago—now perhaps decades ago, to include the peace prize and the prize for literature, they were outstanding, not stale as old bread.&lt;br /&gt;       I heard they had over 200-choices, for the peace prize, God help us all, if this is the best they can choose from. On the other hand, it looks as if the Nobel Committee would like to put a kind of grip on the president’s power; you know what I mean—one of those things that say “You owe us.” In essence, he took an award here that he knew nothing about, he’s never been in war, never been a soldier of any kind, and it shows—and  he even admitted he didn’t deserve the prize, but he took it like a hawk stealing a  chicken from a farmer’s chicken coop.&lt;br /&gt;       He will go down in history as the most manipulative president if not worthless in the history of the United States. And perhaps who has done the less for his country and the world at large. But he plays the game on ‘hope’ a good word to plant your seeds and hurry up and harvest the grain before people catch on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       This is the second time he took an award he never deserved.  He took a Doctorate Degree from a Catholic University, for being pro abortion, which is honoring him for his beliefs; I can see it for being an outstanding President, but he hadn’t done anything to be outstanding. His record proves it.&lt;br /&gt;       This is perhaps in my book the weakest if not useless president we’ve had in 60-years. President Bush was criticized for his actions, and Obama is doing the same thing—if not worse, and is honored, how silly can the public be.&lt;br /&gt;       He’s left over 50,000 troops in Iraq, he’s sent 21,000 more troops to Afghanistan, he’s done nothing to stop Iran or North Korea in preventing nuclear proliferation, but a little talk therapy, which Bush done for eight-years, nothing new. If he’s done anything in the North Korean dilemma, he has done nothing, and that is called nowadays by the press, as something—silence, the media itself when it comes to Obama, is on that ‘hope list,’ I do believe.&lt;br /&gt;       Bush gave $600-dollars to each working American family in America, a rebate, Obama, gave $250, and it seemed by the look on his face, he took it out of his own pockets, sitting in his three-million dollar mansion—; remembering now, when he was running for president how he made fun of his opponent for having three houses; he just made a million, he can reconstruct a new garage, for his five cars (?), making it a  four-million dollar home which it will be.&lt;br /&gt;       Obama gave away over 50-billion, to the rich, tax free (because of oversights within our system) another 50-billion for reconstruction of things that don’t need reconstruction, and new construction, throughout the United States that could have been used for better means—like propping the economy, what does the construction worker get per hour, vs. what does the homemaker get? And everyone overlooked what he gave away.  We need to pay for the heat, the water bill, and the grocery bill, not building more roads, and parks, there is a time for that, but it is not now.&lt;br /&gt;       The dollar went up, because of ‘hope,’ throughout the world, the dollar is now going back down, and because of regret in the hope that was a farce.&lt;br /&gt;      Like it or not, we have to live with this President, I do hope for our sakes he does better in the long run, than he has in the short run (it might be wise if we all pray for him, to mend his ways) if not, all we are going to see is a man looking in a mirror, glorifying himself, from corner to corner for doing nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Written as a true and concerned and decorated Vietnam Veteran for American, October 10, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6358475181148847785?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6358475181148847785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6358475181148847785' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6358475181148847785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6358475181148847785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-honored-for-noble-god-help-us-all.html' title='Obama Honored for Noble?

It costs either $4-American dollars or 2,000-colones to get in. It also takes a U.S. passport.&lt;br /&gt;        Inside the fiesta area, everything is free. Beer is included (seems odd for a morning party, but be that as it may); to include such food items as: Pepsi, bottled water, coffee, hotdogs, popcorn, meat and cheese and bagels, cotton candy, massive sorts of sweetie substances for the kids, in particular for those who like to “fish” over a barrier with clothespins and tons of other food and drinks.&lt;br /&gt;       There are also lots of games for the kids. Younger kids can ride the carousel or bouncing bees; rides are free. There is also a jumping booth and a massive slide. Older kids can play soccer or volleyball on the spacious grounds. Lots of musical bands are playing everything, everywhere—within the fiesta area, from classic rock to square-dancing music.&lt;br /&gt;        At about 9: 00 a.m., there was a flag ceremony hosted by the U.S. Marines from the U.S. Embassy. After singing the United States National Anthem, we said the ‘Pledge of Allegiance,’ to the now risen flag. I actually cried. It had been a long time that I had said—and engaged in any kind of patriot activity with true Americans that believe in liberty, and the values of the true America that our founding fathers spilled their blood to give us. &lt;br /&gt;        The North American Democrats abroad in Costa Rica and the North American Republicans abroad in Costa Rica had booths to register voters. I stuck around to hear the chatter. As usual, both Democrats and Republicans in Costa Rica have such similar politics, it’s ridiculous. Of course Democrats and Republicans in the United States continue such similar politics, making it just as ridiculous… but the politics of Re-demo-public-rats in Costa Rica is the opposite of Re-demo-public-rats in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;        Most Americans abroad—in Costa Rica that is—are neither Republicans nor Democrats. They are libertarians, constitutionalists, anarchists or socialists. Don’t get too confused by the labels; many of those which seem to be opposites in the United States actually have the same values and beliefs here in Costa Rica. The anarchists and the socialists are both lovers of liberty here and value what the original American was founded to protect.&lt;br /&gt;        The U.S. Ambassador showed up at about 10:30 a.m., with his family and bodyguard. He was verbally accosted by several people, one of whom spit at him. The consensus seemed to be that this was a party for true patriots and he represented the powers that are destroying America from both parties (from the near past, to the now present). Others thought he was treated unfairly and that it wasn’t his fault what was happening at home, back in America. Of course you can’t become an ambassador without being willing to represent the country that sends you.&lt;br /&gt;        He seemed like a pretty nice guy to me with a wonderful family. Of course I believe he chose to be what he represents, and what he represents are the policies of America, and therefore, is not responsible in the fullest, nor can place blame on how people respond to his arrangement to represent America in the best of light—to the fullest, and the policies of the United States in particular—; again I repeat, nor can he blame those who throw tomatoes and other such vegetables at his art (or skill?)—in persuasion efforts (figuratively speaking); I was glad he wasn’t there during the flag rising, had he been it may have destroyed the atmosphere of patriotism that abounded.&lt;br /&gt;        Tonight there will be fireworks at Intel. I don’t know if we’ll go or not. The kids generally can’t handle two major events in one day. I suspect there will also be fireworks throughout the central valley wherever gringos live (of course fireworks aren’t illegal here). Ticos may also get into the fun. They have been known to make excuses to have a party, in this still relatively free country.&lt;br /&gt;        I strongly recommend a visit to the ‘Fiesta de Gringos,’ if you are ever near, or in Costa Rica during the 4th of July; if you aren’t American but close… ((Like Canadian or of The United Kingdom) (England)), you can usually get an American to invite you as a guest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        The author lives and plays in Costa Rica when he isn't helping others learn how to live and play in Costa Rica.

And it all came about through my awkwardness. Even yet sometimes, when I think of it, I want to howl if not swear or simply kick myself.  Perhaps, even now, for a time looking at it, there possible could be a kind of contentment in making myself look low-priced by telling of it. But I will tell it nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;       It began one afternoon in North Dakota in the early 1980s, I was dating a student at the University of North Dakota, and we sat in a night club drinking tap beer, my mind trotting and pacing over a statement she made.&lt;br /&gt;       To tell you the truth, I felt a little foolish that I should be sitting in a night club at all.  I don’t like drinking or smoking. But during this summer she was graduating and wanted me to be present so I made several trips, and persuaded her to graduate with honors, and she did.&lt;br /&gt;       Anyhow, the statement she made, I thought it something disgraceful, but I tried to look at it, or pretended to look at it as less than what it was, after all I had to work, and didn’t want it on my mind other than as a passing thought.&lt;br /&gt;       Her question, or statement, depending on how you phrase it, perhaps even it could be put into a statement-question category was, “Perhaps Judas Iscariot isn’t as guilty of the scorn everyone gives him…!” She said something on that order.&lt;br /&gt;       If she taught me anything it was how to rub down a thought, idea, and put it on hold. To me at the time, I figured she was simply putting a bandage on some old hurt that was left loose, or untied in the bible. But as years went on, I wrote a few articles on Judas, and this will be my third. I guess he’s been a big driver of thoughts in my head, kind of like—under my skin, kind of like ‘What was his secret?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Well I knew that Judas Iscariot knew, Jesus’ mission, his divinity, perhaps clearer than anyone at that time on earth, even amongst his kind, the apostles. He also knew ahead of time the sacrifice Jesus was going to make and why (and thereafter his working being done for the time being, on earth and he’d be headed back up yonder, and Judas left to his mission). Also Judas knew, the power Jesus had behind that mortal shell he was in; —and to repeat myself he knew His divinity, His immortality.&lt;br /&gt;       But that isn’t what I want to tell my story about. There’s a lot of things you’ve got to look at, some psychological, some spiritual, and whose to say, one might even come to the conclusion: he didn’t know any better—God forbid, but man may have done some dumber thinks, a few of the apostles remember denied Christ, one by the name of Thomas had to see and touch before believing. But of course, they are not really the premise here, so I shall let it lie where dead dogs lie.&lt;br /&gt;       So here was a question I had to answer, it was right in front of me, right in the grand stand, you might say, “Why then did Judas chose potential self-destruction?” You know how it is, nobody in their right mind chooses this for any reason—I knew that much when I was looking at both sides of the coin, the psychological and spiritual. You see, Judas knew the interconnecting of the Divine Trinity, he wasn’t stuck on himself, to the point of denying this, if anything knowing this put him in a race against time—and this will come out later, but never mind that now.&lt;br /&gt;       It is also safe to say, Judas knew Jesus’ self-limitations; that is, inside his shell of humanity (I hate to say, but it is obvious once looked at, biblically and humanistically).  This is a sweaty area for Christendom, or Christology—that being pretty close to the end, for here was a man, and God, and who could by choice, make a choice, and be omnipotent, but didn’t. Perhaps again, I may throw a tidbit into this bowl of crickets, one Judas created: perchance, him knowing this, and he didn’t use it, irked him.  I’m only telling you this to get everything straight, and out in the open. If you are saying, “Gee whiz,” how can you say such a thing—or such tings? We are talking about a human being, Judas, a psychological man, so I figured this out, he was no dope, nor am I blaming him, but who doesn’t want to be on the side of great power? And if that power is not being used according to the Gospel of Judas, just like the power of Julius Cesar, people will lean on that person.  Maybe Judas was not so different.&lt;br /&gt;       In any case, the question arises, “Why did Judas do what he did?” Well what exactly did he do?  One person could say, “What a chump,” he was all of that. Or another could say, “What a traitor, he was!” He was all of that also, matter-of-fact, he was both of course; but this is surface talk—this is the situation, the problem for me was under the surface, it always is: perhaps this dude was on a power high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       When a man goes to war for his homeland, he is in essence doing so for the greater glory of his country, and in the process may have to give up his life for that country, and the people in it. Is this not so?  And did not Jesus say, the greatest gift man can give to another is his life, something on that order?  Oh yes, He said it loud and clear.  This may shed some light on Judas’ humanity, his psychological make up, his act of treason, his reasoning.&lt;br /&gt;       Let’s remember, this fellow was no mutt, many a man, or men in his day, would have given their golden teeth to be in his position, I mean, and I’d  bet he could had made a million on the side by just introducing Jesus to the local elite. But you know how a fellow is, if there are diamonds hidden in the well, why waist your time bringing over to the king the local brothers of the lodge.&lt;br /&gt;       I don’t want to make a fool of myself, for a slip-up—anyhow, but the question has come to surface, “Did Judas love Jesus?”  To say otherwise, or even maybe, is an offence, of course he did. But how do you force a person’s hand who is not listening?  Remember he is a man of his day. If he didn’t love Jesus, after receiving his thirty pieces of silver, he would not have thrown them away, and then he would not have sunk into a dreadful depression, nor would he have committed suicide.  He was not guilty of blasphemy, rather a different offence, perhaps he loved power more than anything, or perhaps he loved the power Jesus could have, and he’d be part of it.&lt;br /&gt;       History has sat on a nice sofa chair talking about Judas as if they knew him each and everyone, for years and years, personally, and left out the psychological man, for the spiritual: and in so doing, bluffed it through, never finding out the real man behind the mask, they’ve been like lame cows.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;       The mind, Judas labored with his ambition—psychologically and with his spirit— he was of both fibers (perhaps he forgot happiness was or is a byproduct, not a divine attribute), in saying this, the next question that comes up is: “Was Judas trying to force the hand of God?” In essence, was he trying to take change of the world through his son? Or trying to get a piece of it ahead of time? And if so, who would be Jesus’ right hand man? And did Judas think: ‘Look here, I got a chance to be by the Father and Holy Spirit, the whole Godhead!” Perhaps so, and perhaps to degrees, whose to say.&lt;br /&gt;       Vanity and self-interest, which are part of the fiber of man, part of the original sin man inherited, is stronger than the whims of the devil himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;†&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Questions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Other questions that have come up have been: “Was Judas’ act predestined, or preordained? Well, whatever the case may be, it didn’t need to be.  Perhaps Judas was plan B. that became plan A.  It all depended on—I believe availability and usability. Although the time this all took place I do trust was preordained, it was a perfect time, a time of much construction, especially roads, by Rome, whom ruled the known and civilized world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Most of us think all the bible facts have come to light, when in-between these sacred books within the two canons,  much is hidden to be revealed later, as if many parts are written in invisible ink. For each decade, generation, century has its own make up—its own needs, its own language you might say, and that is why the bible can speak from two-thousand years ago, to the contemporary man and woman of today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     The last question, “Did Judas commit the unpardonable sin?” If he did, he’s in hell, if he didn’t, well fine, then most likely he’s been pardoned. It’s a questioned to be reckoned with. He did believe who Jesus Christ was, the gospel in essence, which is: who Christ was, and what did he do, and why did he do it. In this he just got his values crossed I do believe.  But for the second part, did he blasphemy the Holy Spirit? If he did, he’s down yonder. But how would he have done that?  I can think of one way, by the act of treason, and if indeed he wanted to be on one side of Jesus, this was impossible,  because Jesus even told John’s mother, it was impossible, because He was on one side of the father, and the Holy Spirit on the other, so was Judas trying to kick the Holy Spirit off the throne, or out of the Godhead, if indeed he was, that come under the unpardonable category.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;No: 456 (8-25-2009)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3372235074404306330?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3372235074404306330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3372235074404306330' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3372235074404306330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3372235074404306330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/08/judas-iscariots-secret.html' title='Judas Iscariot’s Secret'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-5711956564702302287</id><published>2009-08-18T11:26:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-18T11:26:56.416-07:00</updated><title type='text'>As a Sleeping Man Kills a Fly (a story about a season of death)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I die, I do hope it is not as quick as a sleeping man swats kills a fly. That is how my aunt Rose died, and my cousin, Larry died, and how my uncle Chris died in the hospital, unattended, all alone in the dark; it all happened suddenly and abrupt, without warning—to all mentioned, all in the matter of a few years, on nice seasonal days. There she was my Auntie Rose, walking in the living room of her granddaughter’s apartment where she lived, and choked to death, no one hearing her, almost sleepwalking, and she died, just like that, and that was all that was left of her, one short, and everlasting day. Then she turned cold in death, and pale and stiff, as we all do. We had vaguely spoken to one another after my mother died, three years prior. And like my grandfather, twenty-years before, she laid on the floor, her blue veins protruding. There she was like that—just like that.&lt;br /&gt;       After that, after my mother’s death, winters and summers came and left seemingly unnoticed for me, perhaps because I was trying hard to adjust to my new conditions. Then came another death, up to this writing, to this very moment, there has been several deaths  in the family, one after the other, so compactly side by side, one might think this was a most prosperous season for our family to die in, the last being Ann my aunt and godmother. She was the last to lend a quick alert to our family tree, and add another soul into the once half empty canister. &lt;br /&gt;       My brother Mike notifies me almost every time such an event, a death, and its undertaking takes place, within the family, and among our old, and near childhood, neighborhood friends. He and I of course, are still hanging in there. Yet it makes me wonder, and conceivably him some, who will be the fellow to notify me of the next death, if indeed he isn’t around to do it, if indeed I go first—and he’s not around to do it thereafter—well, you see what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;       The feeling of having the other person at hand of something or for something, of managing such affairs—and someone to tell them to, is comfortable, and nice, especially on a cold and rainy outside (night or day, any season will do).  Both he and I, feel this, it makes us warm and cozy. I don't know, but most likely, the death of so, so many draws us closer. Both he and I have felt this, possibly Mike more consciously than I because he is the one doing the calling, and telling, going to the wakes, and funerals, receiving the death phone calls from the beloved and grieving—I’m six-thousand miles away (thank goodness).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Oh-key, go ahead, say what you want, what you will, I don’t like funerals—period. They are to me like spots of dried paste. And spots of blistering paint, one inside the old house, the other on the exterior; death and funerals are like old worn-out overcoats, never again to see the light of day.  The bodies are taut and hard, ugly and dreadful, pale and in areas soft, and no light in their eyes.&lt;br /&gt;      Well, to the devil with it all, I’m sure there will be a new disaster to the family sooner than later, ahead, and the prospects are good it could be me! When I die, I do hope though, like my mother, I have time to say goodbye, if not, let me say it now: Goodbye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;8-15-2009/Written at the Mia Mamma Café, Huancayo, Peru, No: 452&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;      &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-5711956564702302287?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/5711956564702302287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=5711956564702302287' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5711956564702302287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5711956564702302287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/08/as-sleeping-man-kills-fly-story-about.html' title='As a Sleeping Man Kills a Fly (a story about a season of death)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6434094225834806930</id><published>2009-06-19T11:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T11:52:26.411-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Does America have a Christian President?

Like Stem Cell usage, and abortion, all anti Christian values. So why does he proclaim to be a Christian? Maybe the best answer is: Why not? It sounds good. You simply can't be just because you say you are, and bend you knees at the local Church, you got to live your values, and what you value is you.  And so it is clear to see where this president is, and it is not on any Christian path, he may think so, and you may think so, but no true Christian thinks so. It is better simply to say, "I am not Christian, nor have those values, and don't want them," and go about your way; he'd be a better President, and man, in my eyes for that. So what do we have here? A President who claims to be a Christian but doesn't care to live its values; anyhow that is how I see it. What you do is what you believe in, if you do anything else, you are a false prophet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6434094225834806930?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6434094225834806930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6434094225834806930' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6434094225834806930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6434094225834806930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/06/does-america-have-christian-president.html' title='Does America have a Christian President?

What can he do with his demand, nothing, just like North Korea, when is he going to learn, they don’t care about sanctions, when it comes to trying to control their movements.  So what’s he do, after they have fired missiles, nothing? And Iran, what’s he doing? They now got nuclear capability—nothing? Is the world safer today than when he took office? No.  How about Cuba and our little prison over there, that has all the public opinion against us, and all those countries saying shut the doors, but when it comes to taking the killers, they shut their mouths.  He wants to put them on the streets of America.  And he gave everyone $250-dollars, that was nice, but Bush gave $600, he seems to run short at ever corner.  And where are the troops, should they not be home as he promised? Nope. They are taking from Peter and giving to Paul.  Nothing has changed.  He’s given so much free money away to the rich corporations, that the executives can live like kings around the world. And the dollar isn’t much better than when Bush was in office, and employment is not better, getting worse, as it is in China, Europe, and Japan and we can add Russia. Hang in there he says, he’s on his way. He’s for abortion and all these other things Christians are against, and he wants us to think he is a Christian, when he’s against Christian concepts.  I want to like this guy, but I find he is nothing but a balloon full of air that would have done anything to get into office.&lt;br /&gt;       And he wants the Israel to live in peace with the Arabs, and the Arabs want to destroy Israel, as indicated in their code, or credo; but yet, he wants to shove it down their throats, the only person that wants peace there is the Western Empires,  for the oil, nobody else does.&lt;br /&gt;       Well, he learned one thing, it is not so easy to run a country, as he told everyone he was going to do, and in the process cut president Bush down, and now ends up doing the same thing, and eliminates the freedom to of checks and balances in the government.

Also World War One, the one my grandfather was in, and World War Two, the one my Uncle Frank died in, and Uncle Wally was a POW in. I even wrote a few things about the civil war, but mostly the Vietnam War, the one I participated in, in 1971.  My son Cody was involved with the Bosnia war in the early 1990s; I have yet to write about that. War participation, seems to run in the family, as much as it runs in the blood of the United States, always sticking their nose in to someone else’s business. It would do well if we stop fighting for everyone else, and just for our own country; in that case, our youth would have time to blossom.&lt;br /&gt;       Anyhow, I thought about this article for a very long while, if indeed I should write it, and never got around to it, wasn’t sure how to write it, and then I figured, do it the way you usually do, be up front, it is just your opinion, and we all have them, right?&lt;br /&gt;       Here is what I got to say about writing war stories: a writer who has the experience of war under his belt has one of the major subjects and certainly one of the hardest to write about. Sincerely those writers who have not seen it are jealous, and have tried to make it seem unimportant to others, if not abnormal or a negative as a subject, while in reality it is part of our global history, a fabric of the human race (like it or not, right or wrong), and perhaps irreplaceable and something they have missed.&lt;br /&gt;       You don’t forget war, if you’re in it. You remember near everything, even the songs being played, and replayed, and the smells, and the heaviness of the rain, and the championship boxing matches going on back home, the heat and the big bull mosquitoes,  and the incoming rockets, their sounds and so forth and so on.&lt;br /&gt;       Writes are often times made by being sent to wars: such as Hemingway, Manning, Dostoevsky, Stendhal, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;       There are no real great writers today, worth quoting, and surely no war writers worth their salt, I’ve read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5-9-2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-5553916289860513198?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/5553916289860513198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=5553916289860513198' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5553916289860513198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5553916289860513198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/05/about-writing-war-stories-upfront.html' title='About Writing War Stories (an upfront article)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-3711144288803240444</id><published>2009-04-18T22:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T22:17:09.598-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama: The United Nations?

He allowed American Armed forces to use deadly force in killing the abductors of an American Ship recently, to free the Captain, off the coast of Somalia, and goodbye to trash, three bagged and one in the coop.  &lt;br /&gt;       Now he’s done it again, he is not attending the UN meeting in Switzerland, and for a good reason, and every president before him should have done this long ago: boycott the meeting, everyone that takes any interest in United Nations’ affairs, knows how deep the bigotry and discrimination is against Israel at the UN. To attend would be to sanction their prejudice, if anyone should know this, “The Congressional Black Caucus,” should, but they are on the same path as the UN I guess. I have to ask the question, why hasn’t a white president done this—I shouldn’t say that, forbidden words, but how true they are?  Oh well, out of sight, out of mind. Europe will not like this, they hate the Jews also, always have, but now they know where Obama stands, as long as he doesn’t push the point, and try to force Israel to buy bunk beds for Palestine.&lt;br /&gt;       Hugo Chavez has fallen in love with our president, I should warn him, having more experience in this psychological field than he, Chavez has a duel personality, Mr. President, don’t turn your back on him, unless you have a mirror; he perhaps is laughing, making funny faces, he’s something else.&lt;br /&gt;       If only he could get our troops out of Iraq, as he said he would, and not send them over yonder, into another Middle East backyard. We’ll need our hands free for North Korea soon. It should be interesting how he handles North Korea. I do think that the UN did right in its message to North Korea, now we need to tell North Korea: loud and clear, we can do to them what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, and perhaps send over the 50,000 troops we are leaving in Iraq, to make a point, or perhaps point a few nukes at them, and let them take pictures, and see if they still hold the same intentions, which are to make South Korea into an infernal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3711144288803240444?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3711144288803240444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3711144288803240444' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3711144288803240444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3711144288803240444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-united-nations-tough-guyltr-16-4.html' title='Obama: The United Nations?

He has done three things correct since he’s been in office, soon to be 90-days.  One, he allowed an old black lady to get on the welfare line; two, he made an international speech to the college kids in Heidelberg, Germany, on leaving something behind with their skills and talents, instead of robbing your neighbors blind, and in the last day or two it occurred to him this stupid blockade with Cuba is silly.  We’ve had it for fifty-years, and we don’t even know why we have it.  I mean, we allow every other dictatorship in the world to carry on as usual, normal business with the USA, and we kick our neighbor in the ribs for doing the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;       Let’s face it, China is no democracy, and look what they’ve done to Tibet; and they’ve got the guts to scorn Japan for their atrocities in WWII, and we opened the international trading door for them, brought them into the World Trade Organization as if they were our blood brothers, only to build more rockets and aim them at us. And I suppose I could crisscross the globe and pick out a dozen more countries, like Vietnam, and Burma, and so forth, but here we are chopping away at little Cuba.  Take the chains off and let’s go have a party over yonder, under the Cuba sun: to have and have not, I heard that some place.  And if the people want a dictatorship, let them have it.  It’s called the people’s choice.  They could change it if they had a heart to, we did. We get into this mode; we got to change everybody to fit into our box.  Cultures, histories, economics, they all play a role in the way of life for a country. As long as they are not building missiles and aiming them at us, let them alone, and let’s open a door of friendship, like we did with our real enemies in Vietnam. Did you know they got a statue of liberty in Havana?  They like us, and there are not a lot of folks out there that do; so Mr. President, with all respect, you’ve started to do something right for once. God bless you, and I hope I can soon write a letter and stipulate a forth thing you’ve done correct.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-7645398004583972933?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/7645398004583972933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=7645398004583972933' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7645398004583972933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7645398004583972933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-miricle-path-to-friendship-cubas.html' title='Obama: A Miricle  ((A path to Friendship: Cuba&apos;s Door)(Ltr: 15, 4-14-2009))'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6086264957067489410</id><published>2009-04-06T11:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T11:08:22.455-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama: World Disorder ((the blind follow the blind)(Ltr: 14, 4-6-2009)</title><content type='html'>Obama: World Disorder &lt;br /&gt;((the blind follow the blind)(Ltr: 14, 4-6-2009))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s see what we find in the Obama box today.  Turkey, he says is a much needed friend, one we can trust, and Christian and Muslim, works together. Perhaps there is some truth to this, but it stops at a very narrow corner I do believe.  Our values are different, the Western World hasn’t figured this out since the 11th Century, and how long does it take. Whatever friendship we build, and I have Muslim friends, the center is hollow. I know this and they know this, but for coexistence we also know, not to carry guns on our person when we say hello. Foolishness comes at a price.  &lt;br /&gt;       On another note, related to the above slightly, is the only thing President Chavez of Venezuela had to say that was correct, that I ever heard come out of his mouth was Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he is so right.&lt;br /&gt;       On North Korea:  We stood by and watched North Korea send a rocket into the sky, soon it will be a nuke, we all know this, and we all scream to the high moon as if North Korea could care, they careless.  It has taken us 50-years to figure this out, that we should have taken charge when we had a chance, back in 1954. Now they have big toys, I don’t know what we are waiting for, perhaps for them to get the Nuke on the tip of that rocket, and nuke Japan or South Korea, so it would seem, and that will be their blackmailing gimmick soon. If I was one of those countries, I’d be building me some fast flying missiles, and aiming them directly at the one doing all the threatening.  Perhaps the better choice here is for Japan to wakeup and smell he rotting roses, from their passive past, and be the great warriors they are known for. South Korea, simply doesn’t believe their neighbors will butcher them, Kuwait, felt the same way with Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;       Heidelberg, Germany.  President Obama, gave a lecture there the other day, and advised the young folks to leave something behind, for posterity sake. That is the best I can do Mr. President.  It was a great speech.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6086264957067489410?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6086264957067489410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6086264957067489410' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6086264957067489410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6086264957067489410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/04/obama-world-disorder-blind-follow.html' title='Obama: World Disorder ((the blind follow the blind)(Ltr: 14, 4-6-2009)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-7445922683557479553</id><published>2009-03-31T10:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T10:37:22.040-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama: the World’s Crackerjack Box (Ltr. 13)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Obama: the World’s Crackerjack Box (Ltr. 13)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They, the world, each and every country and its entire leadership, sum total, are looking for the prize in the box, the Crackerjack Box. The world respects Obama, shows him regard, but so does half the world give respect to such terrifying regimes, as North Korea, Cuba, Russia, China who have enslaved neighbors, like Tibet, for one example, and given the chance, North Korea would do the same to South Korea, as they’ve done to their people, as Russia has done to Georgia. And respect has been given to several African countries, and its leaders who have butchered thousands of their own people, so yes, they have given him respect, but no more than, and no longer than, their hope maintains in getting something for nothing, they want that prize from the Crackerjack Box. I hope our president counts the cost, everything cost something, and all the goodwill he is giving away is nice, but nice is like saying sorry, after some tragedy, and sorry doesn’t pay the bills, nor does nice, but it can’t hurt, as long as they can see the big bat behind him. Meaning, like China and Russia, they talk softly and carry a big bat, they just hide it. Obama is a new fish in an old sea, which makes him mysterious to the onlookers. He’s not a bully yet; not like China or Russia or North Korea.   And anything mysterious, that has a golden throne, is going to be examined closely. As soon as any country in the world, or kingdom in the sea, senses a violation of their goals their values, their hopes, he’ll be condemned as a fake, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, an imposter. It is easy in this new global world to go from a shinny flower to a weed, faster than it took to become the flower. Obama has not yet felt the force of the wind; he is still on a high, from winning an obvious win. We need friends, but we don’t need scavengers. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-7445922683557479553?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/7445922683557479553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=7445922683557479553' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7445922683557479553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7445922683557479553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-worlds-crackerjack-box-ltr-13.html' title='Obama: the World’s Crackerjack Box (Ltr. 13)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6450527717632550079</id><published>2009-03-31T09:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T09:56:48.229-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"You Snooze,You Lose" ((New Global Values and Morals) (3-31-2009))</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You Snooze, You Lose&lt;br /&gt;((New Global Values and Morals)(3-31-2009))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Minister Brown of Britain, said it best, and I shall paraphrase: we have no Global Morals, nor Values, speaking economically.&lt;br /&gt;       Let me be frank, and speak for the whole world in general, we do have values, values being those things in life we value the most, but they’ve changed, and as far as morals go, those things that are under the heading of ethics—I used to have to take an ethics class once a year to keep up my counselling license—teaching me to maintain my   principles, a code of behaviour, honour (respect, regard) not like today, it is a code of horror.  We don’t have the same old style, or type we had forty years ago.  Mr. Brown should remember we took them out of the schools, with God, and Liberty, and saluting the flag, at least in America we did, and usually the world follows America, right to the abyss sometimes. Anyhow, we got want we planted, ‘You snooze, you lose,’ that is our new morals and values in a nutshell. If you don’t like it, it’s too bad, it is what we planted, and it is what is being harvested, and it is why were in such a worldwide crisis today. I feel sorry for the young generation; they have to live with the garbage we planted.&lt;br /&gt;       I had to teach full grown men, while in my counselling career, those coming out of prison, into a halfway house back into society, that without discipline, there are no limits to a person’s behaviour; nothing to govern them by if you do not have a moral code (meaning good behaviour). They thought I was talking Greek. We got what we deserve; now we are complaining.  Doesn’t that beat all?  What did Mr. Brown expect; flowers from planting in manure for forty-years. Trying to teach an old wolf morals and principles, and discipline, and values, is like trying to part the Red Sea, good luck. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6450527717632550079?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6450527717632550079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6450527717632550079' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6450527717632550079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6450527717632550079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/you-snoozeyou-lose-new-global-values.html' title='&quot;You Snooze,You Lose&quot; ((New Global Values and Morals) (3-31-2009))'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-4727830743013348321</id><published>2009-03-23T09:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T09:36:50.993-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama: no pain, no gain!

Give me the fixit pill. They want the quick fix remedy.  There is an old saying: no pain, no gain.  It is the same thing for grieving, out of sight out of mind.  Bury the person where I can’t see them. Obama’s world is the in the forefront of this movement.  Let’s give the world a sugar high. They do that in the Army, when you are running, give you a candy bar so you can keep running, and salt pills incase you sweat it all out.  Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way.  So now the Government is going to buy all the bad moorages, so the banks don’t have to take the loss, which is really called bankruptcy, since so many people filed bankruptcy on the banks, and then the government is going to sell them bank to the banks in lots I suppose, and let the banks work with the Real estate companies, and sell them back to the public, but he doesn’t talk about the new bankruptcy laws in effect that make it harder for a person to get a bankruptcy or get out of dept, and that is because the banks want it to be left alone so they can enslave the individual, after they make their recovery.  You see, the little person had a way to wiggle out of the banks imprisonment, and now they’ve talked the President into re-enslaving the people.&lt;br /&gt;       I only took Economics 101, in college, but a made over million in Real estate and rental property in the 90’s, the honest way, and when a furnace went out in one of my places in the winter, I live in Minnesota, the bank was more than willing to borrow me $10,000 to fix it, but I had cash, so I didn’t have to.  Plus, they never liked me paying off my loans early, there is a reason for that—two reasons, first, all interest is free money, second, keep everyone in enslavement. Now the banks are in a bind, and who is going to fatten their pockets?  You got it, our savior, Obama.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-4727830743013348321?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/4727830743013348321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=4727830743013348321' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/4727830743013348321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/4727830743013348321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-no-pain-no-gain-ltr-12-3-23-2009.html' title='Obama: no pain, no gain!

It was the thing to do, like the hula-hoop, and everyone jumped on the bandwagon to learn how to twist, and shake their hips to keep that hula-hoop balanced properly. It was a change, because we all know the world keeps changing, and this was the new thing on the block, like Elvis was.  In the political arena, it has always been upscale towards war, who can take what they’ve longed for away from the others. The only thing that has changed in this arena is how to acquire it. When you want a bomb that can reach Israel, and destroy it, like so many dictators in the past have tried to get, get it one way or the other, Syria is also after it. And one of them will use it. Justify it as everyone turns into marshmallows. This is Iran’s quest, Syria’s quest, the Middle East Quest, all the Arab countries would like to see Israel destroyed; Iran is the only one brave enough to say so. If Israel has learned anything, it is how to think like its enemy, the one thing we have never paid any attention to, is not trying to think like our enemies, we think they think like us, and they don’t.&lt;br /&gt;       A friend of mine, back about fifteen-years ago, a professor, with a PH.D., who taught at a well known University, her and I sat one afternoon in a bookstore and talked about the world at large.  She was like Obama, a lover of peace by way of talk therapy and wishful thinking, not an once of experience in war how the mind works, or cultural matters, and if it was up to her, the United States would have grounded all its military might long ago: buried all its nuclear weapons, cut the Army perhaps to clerks only. She meant well, and I liked her, but I asked, “Don’t you think while your creating this glories world, somebody might want to take it away?”&lt;br /&gt;       Well, she lived in a bubble, as does Obama, and by the time she could figure out her response to me, there was a war in Kuwait, and I told her when the war started, “They did what you suggested the United States should do, now what?”&lt;br /&gt;       As we all know from those days, women were raped, people misplaced, oil wells went up in flames, and for the most part, Kuwait was under the heel of Iraq, and it’s Army. &lt;br /&gt;       Kuwait was the envy of the Middle East as far as lifestyle went and money.  When it came to preserving their freedom, or protecting their wives, they were as helpless as a blue jay in the grip of a hawk.&lt;br /&gt;       Iran will do what they want, and say want they need to say, and no matter what, it is the bomb they are after.  As I said before, once Russian ties the knot with Iran, it will be too late.&lt;br /&gt;       We are worried about swatting fly’s when there are dirty infected camels to kill.&lt;br /&gt;       North Korea is no different, only that they want the nuke to blackmail the world with, as they have in the past. People think there is a big difference between Bush and Obama, in this arena.  As far as Iran goes and North Korea, Obama is just easier to push around, with Bush they had to bite their fingers a little, and Russia had to count the cost.  Russia no longer is afraid to put their cards on the table since Bush is history.  If the world thinks they are safer because of Obama, they will have rude awakening.  Bush was wrong on many of his later decisions in the White House, but  Obama is wrong on a lot of his beginning decision and he’s just been in the office a few months, let’s hope he can shift gears before it is too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommendations:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me give a quick piece of advise to the President, he won’t listen I know, although he did pay attention to that little girl who wanted her school painted so who knows.  It’s not time to plant a victory garden, as they seem to be doing near the White House, I suggest, they neutralize Iran and North Korea, and Syria, then they will have something to be victorious over. I’ll even provide the seeds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My recommendations for Israel is to get off their stool, and take some action, before it is too late; the US is not going to start WWIII over you folks most likely, although we have a commitment, I doubt you can trust Obama to sent in the fleet when you get hit, and I mean hit hard. I do realize you get billions of dollars from the US to stand down, but you got to over look this, and do what is right for your people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advice for South Korea and Japan: you got three choices: continue to be blackmailed, get the nukes ready, because Obama is not going to stop the North in doing so, or burn your candles low so the North won’t shoot straight, when they get the fat boy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-8805016214911975640?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/8805016214911975640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=8805016214911975640' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8805016214911975640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8805016214911975640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-twist-ltr-11-21-march-2009.html' title='The Obama Twist (Ltr, 11, 21 March, 2009)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-8290131003712106391</id><published>2009-03-14T15:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-14T15:34:16.050-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Knock-knock, Anyone Home at the Whitehouse? like Obama...?

Let me see. Korea warned Obama to be still about their shooting a rocket into space that can hit the United States, and he told Hiller, “Leave it alone.”  So that issue is settled.  Russia is moving back to Cuba, to have their jet fighters ready on the four runways that they have, as well as Venezuela, being considered, we’ll soon be surrounded by our so called friendly enemies; for whatever purpose they feel necessary. Obama, is busy with other things, like visiting with a girl from North Carolina, who wants her school painted, a black girl of course. Any white girls out there need your school painted? The Governor of the state says in essence: we can’t use the stimulus money for pet projects, and I agree, let’s keep it on the up and up, what is good for one school, the other one should get likewise. It looks like we got kids running the show.&lt;br /&gt;       Iran isn’t scared anymore, no reason to be, Obama assured them no matter what they do, we are going to use talk therapy with them, not threats and bombs, they are really our friends, we just haven’t given them time, perhaps 40-years isn’t enough. Although they are on the threshold of a nuclear bomb, and he thinks it will be used for baking bread.&lt;br /&gt;       What else is new within his 100-day count down?  He is doing away with the Bush Terrorism program to hold terrorist on suspension, we now have to see them blow up a few dozen buildings or, kill a few more dozen soldiers, get it on camera, bring it to the courts, and pinpoint the man with the machine gun in his hands, then we can put him in jail for a few years of rest and recuperation, let him go, and give him citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;       He is still giving away the US treasury, slowly but surely, every week he has a new pet project to give a few billion here or there, I think he has his own personal list.  But we have to be patient he says. He’s given some money for construction projects; I bet all his friends, perhaps a few relatives who are contractors are ahead on his line. I don’t want to get into the dollar projects, it’s too deep. But I’m still waiting for him to do something he said he was going to do.&lt;br /&gt;       What everybody saw in him I don’t know, but before he was elected president, I predicted this, and it is all on the internet, and he is holding true to his values, not mine.&lt;br /&gt;       Now I know some folks will not want to publish this, those in love with this hero who has done nothing yet, it usually goes that way.  If I was writing glorious things about Obama and pretending he was actually doing something to help someone other than himself, it would get five stars, and be put on most internet pages in 24-yours, it tells you something: people still want more pain, they are brain washed with dead-hope.  And you usually get what you deserve.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-8290131003712106391?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/8290131003712106391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=8290131003712106391' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8290131003712106391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8290131003712106391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/knock-knock-anyone-home-at-whitehouse.html' title='Knock-knock, Anyone Home at the Whitehouse? like Obama...?

We should do one of two things: shut up, or put up of fists.&lt;br /&gt;       Korea has been telling us for five-years, it is going to build a rocket that will reach the United States, and now they have, and now they are going to launch it, and we are warning them not to. What is a warning? It is only worth what you are willing to do. Bush proved his warnings were deadly.  Obama, his warnings are like a paper tiger, and he have Hillary to speak on his behalf. And that is why Korea said, “We’ll go to war?” Not sure who with, I suppose they mean the United States; if so, I think we better call Bush back.&lt;br /&gt;       They have been blackmailing Japan and South Korea for twenty-years, and the US for almost as long.  The point is, now they will have the stuff to really do what they been saying for twenty years they’d like to do, blackmail and point their guns.&lt;br /&gt;       The Question is “Do we go to war?” Or let them do what they did on December 7, 1941. Bomb Peal Harbor; we keep thinking they will not, but have we forgotten 9/11; Iraq is over, let’s move on, we got other business and interests, and we’re dogged down there, so we’re afraid to do anything elsewhere.  We should readjust our thinking to those that can hurt us.&lt;br /&gt;       We want to build a shield in Europe, let the Europeans do it, not the tax paying folks in America, we’ve been paying their bills for sixty-years, when is enough, enough.&lt;br /&gt;       Back to Korea, let them start the war, blow their rocket out of the air, and if they do start a war, well this time let’s finish it, and be done with it, and forget an armistice. But Obama, not knowing the military world, is at a party singing Happy Birthday to Kennedy, who was the character in the book “Dark Waters.” And dark they are.&lt;br /&gt;       We are also warning Iran. What is all this warning business; let Israeli do what they do best, like Elvis would say, “Taking care of business.”&lt;br /&gt;       We’ve been paying Israel to stand down, like a clown, while they build a nuclear plant, for power they say, when they got more oil than Exxon. Now let’s stop kidding ourselves, they don’t need it to warm their homes—it’s hot enough over there, and they don’t need it for gas, only half the population can drive, women are not allowed, and they don’t need it for cooking, they need it for Israel.  They said they want to obliterate Israel, and Obama thinks, talk therapy will work, that’s only in the movies.&lt;br /&gt;       On the third subject here, I wish he’d stop spending all the tax money he hasn’t collected yet.  He’s giving $160 billion to the international banking system, for a smile, to keep the rich from falling on their knees.  And another one trillion to a stimulus program, his own party don’t want a party to, but like ducks they are in line. And this is just the beginning. The Ice berg is deep, and if it comes up it will be like flooding all of Greenland.&lt;br /&gt;       The only thing I can say about Obama in his less than two months in office is, he gave a black lady a home, or some financial support, and that came out of the tax payer’s pocket, not his. I think he forgot, money is earned, not grown. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3438920699001131721?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3438920699001131721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3438920699001131721' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3438920699001131721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3438920699001131721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-paper-tiger-in-dc-ltr-9-current.html' title='Obama, the Paper Tiger in DC  (Ltr, 9, current events 3-9-2009)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6160116807796142925</id><published>2009-03-03T21:34:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T21:34:58.984-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama: Real Money to Monopoly! (Ltr: 8, 3-3-2009)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; Obama: Real Money to Monopoly!&lt;br /&gt;(Letter: 8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can’t really count that high, nor as fast as Obama is pending our tax paying money, but let me take just a simple look at a few items.  I know it is easy to point fingers, but Obama, did a lot of that when he was running for President, made a lot of promises, acted like the Messiah, and now is going to cure cancer, with twenty-billion of American dollars: seeing is believing. And he’s going to cure the ills of America with another 1-trillion dollars with the stimulus, and he has gave—almost giving away, 160-billion to the international lending banking system, with little to no interest. America is a free style economy, you have a right fail, and a right to go broke, who on earth can expect a 160-billion dollars bail out, I can’t get $60-free, much less 160-billion, to feed the rich, because they made bad decisions. I think he’s in league with the Bush Administration.  I voted for Mr. Bush the first time around, the second time, I wish I would not have, but what took Bush eight years to do, is taking Obama eight weeks, to sink the economy deeper into the abyss. &lt;br /&gt;       In addition, keeping 50,000-troops in Iraq, and another 17,000 in Afghanistan, is no simple task, it takes dollars. Where is he going to get this?  The American Economy, contains about 13-plus, trillion dollars per year, we are spending 20-billion at the UN, another  450-billion on the Military, not counting the 1-trillion we’ve already spent on Iraq, who could care less about Democracy. They’ve said it loud and clear—“Get Out,” so lets go, take care of our own. They get air-conditioned air tents, while our old folks get heatstroke; and I’m not kidding.&lt;br /&gt;        They take the dollars and throw shoes at our leaders.  I don’t care for a lot of leaders out there, but I’d not get physical with any of them, and at first the man said: “I got emotional,” and then he said to his fellow men, “I practiced throwing the shoe,” now that he might get 15-years in prison.&lt;br /&gt;And he is a hero in Iraq, doesn’t that tell you something? It should.&lt;br /&gt;      We have to put up with Iran killings along the boarder, pay Israel not to shoot down their nuclear plant, pay North Korea not to hurt South Korea, its all dollars and more dollars, and not one thank you.&lt;br /&gt;       Nobody wants to help us in Afghanistan, and it makes no sense to stay there and pay for 52,000-troops there. Between the two wars it is costing a billion dollars a week.  I know the Generals and industry want us to stay, it’s a money maker for them, but we’re going to have to start paying with Monopoly money pretty soon.&lt;br /&gt;       It seems to me we went from a hot boiling pot of water, into a hotter frying pan. I get the impression, President Obama feels a strike of his pen, is magic: we do not live in the world of the Wizard of Oz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6160116807796142925?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6160116807796142925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6160116807796142925' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6160116807796142925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6160116807796142925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/03/obama-real-money-to-monopoly-ltr-8-3-3.html' title='Obama: Real Money to Monopoly!

Let me rephrase that.  I see President Obama, is following basically the same plan President Bush set forward before Obama was president, and reneging on his word, that he was to bring home the boys. What does that mean?  Well, you have to read between the lines, it means, he is going to leave in place, 50,000-troops, more than we have in Korea or Afghanistan, more than we have in Japan, what for?&lt;br /&gt;       Your guess is as good as mine. Being a soldier for 11-years I realize you just can’t up and leave, and we are not, but if you leave 50,000 soldiers in a war zone, and they are basically, as they said, support, meaning, not much infantry, they are sitting ducks for the enemy.  Strategically, we are in a good area in the world, surrounded by enemies, and if we leave a hole, it will be filled, but that will happen with 50,000 troops or 15,000 troops, not with 142,000 troops though.  So it is best we leave them all there, or take them all out except a small contingent, say 5000 to 10,000, and to the extreme, 35,000, but not 50,000, that would be my guess. He wouldn’t understand this though, not being a soldier that is why, he is on a merry-go-round, and he doesn’t know how to get off it—yet he is listening to the people as he whirls and whirls and whirls around in his same circle!&lt;br /&gt;       How about a plan C?  I bet he hasn’t got one, so I’ll give him one; do what you said you were going to do, that is what the people expect, not a modification after you get into office, it looks like you tricked us all. And maybe he did, that was the original plan, A, now he went to plan B, the Bush plan, and for   Plan C, is going back to plan A.&lt;br /&gt;       We have to admit, that when you are standing outside of the White House looking in it is easy to point fingers, but one inside looking out, you come to understand, pointing fingers is easy, in comparison to   doing what you said should be simple, lead the people to think so. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-8272900149626616799?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/8272900149626616799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=8272900149626616799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8272900149626616799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8272900149626616799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/letter-seven-obamas-sitting-ducks-2-26.html' title='Letter Seven: Obama&apos;s Sitting Ducks (2-26-2009)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-1325003345040415845</id><published>2009-02-22T22:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T23:13:29.601-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hello Out there! Everything’s Just Dandy!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see kids are having kids nowadays, eleven to thirteen, it all goes, nothing forbidden: no discipline, thus, no limits: I hear complaints out there on this matter, but I say: what do you expect, you can’t teach Godly things in the schools anymore, the ten commandments, where do you think they will learn such things? We got what we planted, and now we are saying, “I can’t believe it.” Don’t be so silly, most parents out there are lazy parents. I told a person the other day, “Your daughter is eleven years old, and can’t spell ‘Get,’ correctly. The father got mad at me, and told me to mind my own business. That he loved his daughter so very much. I said, if you love her, you wouldn’t be looking for a wife on the internet every night, and riding your $26,000 motorcycle down to the gym every night, you’d be teaching her how to spell ‘get’.” Well as you might expect, that didn’t go over very well, I’m the bad guy on the block now.&lt;br /&gt;I see eleven year old kids killing parents, and men throwing acid in women’s faces. The Priests are having sex with everyone under the sun, kids in particular. Everyone’s yelling for Equal Rights, even at the Oscar’s. Especially for homosexuals, they want to dance down every street of America and with jockstraps on, like they did in New Orleans when I was there. They want to teach our kids what is right and wrong in schools as our teachers. They think God is on their side, as if he’s a commodity, you pay your way, and you get his blessing. I perhaps got their god mixed up with mine, there presumptuous god, might be, that little guy with the arrow (cupid).&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, we got a war to fight in Iraq, and Iran says they are a peaceful country (as does North Korea), but are trying to buy influence: I will not kill the Americans in Iraq, if you turn your back to the Nuclear question, we got a right to have this bomb, and we are not going to use it on anybody, not even our hated enemy, Israel, we just want it so we got something to do, something to look at. And of course Omaha believes all this. Why not, everything’s ok out there.&lt;br /&gt;Even the kids got ‘rights’ more rights than parents, they got the right to slap a parent in the face, and if he hits him back nowadays, they’ll run to the police, and of course, who goes to jail, we all know who. And the girls know they can get an abortion now, Obama, is making sure of that, without consent, and they say Obama is more popular than Jesus Christ, I heard that remark forty-years ago. I mean if the parent says no, big deal, you still have to allow it, and support the brat. When we should have taught the girl in the school the ten-commandments, those things we threw out because someone went to the Supreme Court, and a few judges made a decision for a 300-million people, that is suppose to be right, and now the law. And these judges were of course, atheists.&lt;br /&gt;And people say, “How is it out there?” It’s just dandy, it is the way we made it, and when we get mud in our face, we deserve it. So everyone out there stop crying. Mr. Milk got his way, and Penn got his Oscar for best actor, and it didn’t look to me as if he was acting, rather enjoying his scenes of kissing men throughout the movie, and someone stood up and bragged how they were going to drag America to the pits of Sodom and Gomorra, which is not far from where we are now.&lt;br /&gt;We got some little wars going on also, and some terrorist wars going on, and no one wants to support them, let the Americans do it. I would say to Europe, the ones that want to throw their cards in, you got NATO, and if Obama is looking for soldiers in Afghanistan, as he says he is, take them out of NATO, since it is an American product. And let them fend for themselves, it’s about time Europe stops sucking American tax payers dry. If the euro was based on defending ones homeland, Europe would be at a fatal loss, and the dollar would be at a remarkable high.&lt;br /&gt;The question begs to be answered, “Why is everyone complaining out there?” We all got what we deserve, what we fought for, rights without responsibilities, (up the nose) what you are witnessing now is the erosion process which started fifty-years ago. Parents are no more than a financial burden, ticket, and once used up, not much good to anyone. Hollywood is controlling the Right’s groups, we got a lot of them: for dogs, cats, prisoners of war, who kill American’s and they want them on our streets now. No other country will take these birds of pry, but they will complain. And Obama, again, will offer them a handshake, when he should be cutting them off so they cannot pull the triggers of those AK47s, to kill more Americans.&lt;br /&gt;Industry, companies run the governments now, no more standing up guys for what is right or wrong, and it comes under, self interest, and Globalization, the word was unheard of in the 70s, now it is a household word, and one that goes along with Armageddon. Get drunk and pay the bills that are the best I can say, because we are in for windstorm. Or else we better change in hurry, and not the way Hollywood would like us to.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-1325003345040415845?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/1325003345040415845/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=1325003345040415845' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1325003345040415845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1325003345040415845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/hello-out-there-everythings-just-dandy.html' title='Hello Out there!

He should be in line to take over the David Lettermen show when he retires; he’d do well on it.  He has dropped 9-points, and he’s only been President, one month.  He is going to give financing for old mortgages to old mortgage holders, you know those that didn’t pay their mortgage on time, went to Disneyland or Los Vegas; it’s called in old fashion terms, rewarding the  thief, while the hard worker pays on time. I know what he’s going to say: everything’s not perfect. I swear this guy is walking like a duck in circles. But he’s a proud one, I sure can say that.  I just hope no real big crisis happens, God help us all then. They say, two out of three American’s have approved of his stimulus program, so that leaves 100-million unsatisfied customers.  That may grow pretty soon; and if I was at the race track, I’d not place too much money on a horse with those   odds, two out of three is a winning hand, but it tells you something: you can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time, and that is the corner I’m standing at, and soon he’ll show up there I’m sure.  American’s voted for popularity, not change, or down to earth, politics, they voted for who could entertain them the best, and he was the best showmen in town, and it shows as he tries to figure out what he’s going to do, and to be honest, he doesn’t have clue.  It’s too early to say “I told you so,” and I hope really I don’t have to, but if the shoe fits, I will.  On the other hand, I may owe a few people an apology, but I’d bet on that, I think I got a winning horse there, and I won’t have to apologize. &lt;br /&gt;       He signs bills and doesn’t know where he’s going to but the killers in the Cuban prison; there is even talk about giving them citizenship, are we all going crazy?  I’d say send them back to their countries, the ones that want to put them in the electric chair, or hang them, and be done with it.  The last group of 400-prisoners that were set free because of all these rightwing, self-righteous, human rights people, 67 of them went out and killed more Americans, more British, more Iraqis families, don’t the human rights works have a heart for the innocent, or only for the criminals. I was once a advocate, supporter in one of the groups, for prisoners worldwide, and the group asked me to send letters to get folks free, and I did, and I got a letter back from the Congress of the Phillipions, asking me if my group told me all about the fellow I was trying to get free. And I said, I think they did, and they sent me documentation, and he had killed three men, which no one told me about, and they had families, and so forth. And I confronted the issue, and it was explained to me: it was guerrilla warfare, against the government, again something I had to pull out of the man I was trying to free from prison. ´       Point here is, sometimes we just do things, out of emotions, thinking they are right, when we should do them out of thinking, investigation, and then proceed.  I wrote the folks back and said, “I was never told the whole truth,” and that was Amnesty International, the liars, I had confronted them, and said I’d not do their dirty work for them ever again, I worked for a Federal Branch of the American Government back then.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-5680214752424307550?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/5680214752424307550/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=5680214752424307550' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5680214752424307550'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/5680214752424307550'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/obama-entertainer-of-month-letter-62-20.html' title='Obama: Entertainer of the Month   ((letter: 6)(2-20-2009))'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-8754022392722142396</id><published>2009-02-14T15:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-14T15:06:28.197-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stimulus win; right on the Obama Track (letter .5)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; 2-14-2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote four articles thus far on the new president, he is quite predictable, and everything has come to pass that I’ve written, and nothing has been for the good, except giving a black lady a home to stay in, and he didn’t do it out of his pocket, rather, out of  the tax payers of America’s pocket, all the same it was a good gesture.&lt;br /&gt;       And now he is saying loud and clear and in so many words so is his beloved, CNN, and so are the White House Democratic Senators, the blind singing songs to the blind, they all must think American is some big fat donut.&lt;br /&gt;       It is all about the stimulus program, that it  is right on track the Obama track that is, no one else’s track, yet we got CNN and all these other folks on the Obama teams yelling: united we stand, the Democrats and Republicans,  now how silly can one be.  He’s a Harvard man; he shouldn’t play the public for being dumb even if most of us out there are dumb, because it is insulting; he forgot the old saying: ‘What goes around comes around’ and it will bite him in the behind, sooner or later, such foolishness always does.&lt;br /&gt;      He had three republicans go along with his program, and 11-Democrates walk away from it, what does that tell you.  It tells me, his own people know better, don’t agree with him. But we deserve what we get, and we will get it right where it hurts. We were all hyped up over a new hero—thinking he was Mighty Mouse or something,  because he told us what we wanted to hear, and he threw a lot of salt in our soup, so it tastes good, but that is all we got for our time and money: salty soup.&lt;br /&gt;       I’m not negative, I’m a realist, like it or not. This is where we are at.  In thirty years you can say, this is how it was…thirty years ago I remember a few presidents saying this and that, and the public going haywire over it all, and now what was considered foolishness then, is now…&lt;br /&gt;       I wish CNN, and the folks at the White House would stop calling it a ‘win’ it sounds like they were playing a game and won, and we all know it was already bought and paid for, long before he went and begged for the Republican vote, which he never got.  It is like a boxing match, one that was fixed before the boxers even got into the stadium.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-8754022392722142396?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/8754022392722142396/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=8754022392722142396' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8754022392722142396'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/8754022392722142396'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/stimulus-win-right-on-obama-track.html' title='Stimulus win; right on the Obama Track (letter .5)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-570376644818758064</id><published>2009-02-13T16:05:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-13T16:06:07.443-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Tucan against One</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/SZYK5Sit8KI/AAAAAAAAARQ/kKH97gvPcdM/s1600-h/Tucan.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302437590621614242" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/SZYK5Sit8KI/AAAAAAAAARQ/kKH97gvPcdM/s200/Tucan.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In the morning after breakfast in the lodge dinning room, Chick Evens and his wife, Delilah, moved out to the open air patio, where there were three hammocks, they were deep inside the Amazon, one hundred and twenty five miles from, Iquitos, Peru, it was the month of March, of 2001, their first anniversary.&lt;br /&gt;He had slept well, was looking fresh and wholesome, for his past middle age appearance. He picked up a magazine as he slipped over and into the loose and dangling hammock, constantly looking about for Big Beak, the Tucan mischievous bird. Although it had a colorful beak, and was a large and beautiful looking bird, it was a pest at best, a provoking menace at worse, that had attacked Mr. Evens two days in a row, but was the lodge’s mascot, an icon of sorts.&lt;br /&gt;He was, the Tucan, simply an attention seeker among the people of the lodge, and Evans did not allocate any of his time, nor wish to accommodate the bird with any of his time, thus, avoiding giving any attention at all to the bird, whom he called the Beast-bird, or the Bird-beast, and this annoyed the Tucan.&lt;br /&gt;This was his third day at the lodge, and he’d be leaving tomorrow, and he was hoping to lay back and enjoy the rest of the morning, when Big Beak arrived, another nickname, Evans bestowed upon the bird, shaking his feathers in the sunlit heated morning, under the shadow of his hammock.&lt;br /&gt;The Tucan then started making noises under the hammock, if they had anything in common, it wasn’t this, it annoyed Evens; although the one thing they did have in common was the sun, the fresh air, but not the sight of each other.&lt;br /&gt;“Here he goes again, with them confounded weird noises,” said Chick to his wife.&lt;br /&gt;The Tucan moved down towards the end of the hammock, and with its long stretched out, hard boned beak, he grabbed a hold of Chick’s toe, it was hanging over he hammock, and he wouldn’t let go, until Chick took a swat at him, missed him with his round folded up magazine by no more than an inch, which only enticed the bird-beast to play more games to get more attention.&lt;br /&gt;Several faces looked at Evens, about thirty-feet away, folks playing checkers, reading books, and having loose conversations, they gave him a ‘shame on you,’ look.&lt;br /&gt;“Shoo,” yelped Evens, but the bird insisted on staying.&lt;br /&gt;The feathers on the bird’s throat, stood out now, it was war, or at least a battle to be.&lt;br /&gt;The Tucan came around towards Evens’ hand he let it loose, dangle over the hammock, and when the bird came to bite it, he grabbed his beak, and shook the bird, and let him go, and the folks now had turned to look at the American that was beating up on the poor helpless Tucan, but Evens paid them little to no attention, his thoughts were on the bird.&lt;br /&gt;The bird was now madder than a hornet, and attacked Mr. Evens, trying to reach him, and Mr. Evens gave the bird a good swat, and that stopped his onward thrust, and Evens took that as a victory. But the onlookers were starting to get restless.&lt;br /&gt;For several minutes the bird circled under the hammock, devising his plan of attack or retreat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Have you and the bird got over your squabbling yet?” asked Delilah.&lt;br /&gt;“Very funny,” responded her husband, “too bad he doesn’t go over there to visit you.”&lt;br /&gt;Evens was now talking to the bird, as if it was a deaf, child, “Read my lips,” he said, “go away, leave me alone.”&lt;br /&gt;“You simply should not pay the bird any attention, and it will go away, be nice to the bird and off she’ll fly to visit someone else.” said Delilah.&lt;br /&gt;“I’m tired being nice to this bird-beast, I don’t want to be nice, I want it dead or gone out of my life.”&lt;br /&gt;“Don’t talk like that, if people hear you they’ll kick us out of here,” said Delilah, adding “she’s not going to eat you up.”&lt;br /&gt;“I’ve tried hard to be its friend, I’ve come to the conclusion, no American can make a Peruvian Tucan happy, no matter what.”&lt;br /&gt;“No,” said Delilah, “you got to be more patient like us Peruvians.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Written 2-13-2009.

Siluk&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I was the world leader here is what I’d do:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Go to Washington D.C., and get all the Obama followers, and Obama, off the Happy Pills they are using, and bring them back to reality, or, restart the stimulus program from scratch…with 830-billion happy pills, for everyone in the world. If you can’t beat them, have everyone join your clan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Israel and Palestine, as Hamas and the PLO have both claimed: we will never give up, until Israel is out of the equation, I would order Israel to march the Palestinians to their beloved neighbors, such as Syria, and Egypt, and Iran, you all the ones that back them up with guns. They can buy them weapons, but how about living with them, that’s another question evidently, perhaps the wolf doesn’t like its own kind; and if I had to, I’d push them over the boarders, and let them have the problem of keeping the peace, of course in Israel, there would be peace, once you got the problem out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I would stop yelping at Iran about the Nuclear issue, and give to their old enemy the nuclear bomb likewise, Iraq; next, I’d move all our troops out, and let Iran build their bomb, as Europe and the rest of the world seem to want, since they do not support an Israel, or for that matter any kind of air strike to bury them, and they think talk´-therapy will do the trick, let’s see what happens, I think there will be to big bangs, thus the problem is over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the same thing with North Korea, let them build a nuke, we will most likely anyhow, and if we don’t let them, they will in secret, now give the south the big one, and Japan, and Taiwan, and let China cuddle her baby Taiwan, and see what the North has to say to the South, when everyone’s packing pistols, it’s a different story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) These are rough times for Alaska, an egg cost $2.00, just one, and fuel is costly, and all that kind of stuff. My recommendations are: move to the lower 48, or kill more whales, or polar bears, or pump more oil from those big reserves you folks have. There are solutions, and that should put the egg business out of business or lower the price a dollar or so. You can’t have your egg and eat it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Michael Phelps, I would have the Olympic team, stop counting on him to bring his support team to the rescue (they are leaving him also), and start raising some more pigeons, to see which one will be the easiest to groom for future Olympics. Mike is on a high, leave him be, like Brittney: you can bring a horse to water but you cannot make him drink it unless he’s thirsty: he’s got to see the light by himself, you can’t force feed him indefinitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is lucky I am not the world leader; I’d would simplify things, a bit, and the above is just a start…!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-544864122942226968?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/544864122942226968/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=544864122942226968' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/544864122942226968'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/544864122942226968'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/solutions-to-wrold-problems-real-deal.html' title='Solutions to World Problems (the real deal)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-2192521620602457778</id><published>2009-02-07T21:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T21:46:39.652-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Conference and Presentation: new book "The Windmills" by D.L.

In this case she is badgering the Thailand Government, telling them how unfair they are that they will not take in the poor souls from neighboring Rangoon, now neighboring Myanmar, the generals of that country when they took over changed the official name to the now unofficial name, the government being equal to North Korea in its secret mission to humanity.&lt;br /&gt;The point being, should she not be protesting the government of Rangoon, and the UN doing the same (they are doing this backwards it seems) there is an old saying: you deserve the government you allow, and there is a natural law, if the law does not produce justice, then it is time to change it (and this is when force comes in, you know what I mean, like in the Revolutionary War of 1776, and the Civil War of 1860-65, here in the good old USA, that is how Brad and his sweetheart, two folks who never seen a day of combat, like Obama, but got their freedom nonetheless).&lt;br /&gt;Another point to this is, the world is in a depression, perhaps not her world, but everyone else’s, and countries cannot afford to give everyone bed and breakfast because a pretty movie star makes a plea, perhaps the UN should give them guns so they can go free their country, like France did for America, so we could use them on the British, whom now are our close friends, and one of the few, and not have to move to someone else’s home land, like Mexico or Canada.&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations always tries to play Robin Hood with someone else’s money, and now with someone else’s voice and movie star status.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know if Angelina is simply unaware that life is not simply black and white, there is a lot of gray, and when she makes statements for the United Nations, she shouldn’t think it is written in stone, and in most cases, it is written in the wind, they forget it the day after they say it, they all have jobs, and they want to keep them, so they can put in ten years and head onto the Millionaires club, and I’m not kidding, they got one at the United Nations, you need a pass to get in it, I was there.&lt;br /&gt;Another point is, the majority of these folks are Islamic, and why does she not plead to the Islamic world to let them go there, you know what I me, like to like?  The oil rich countries, it kind of shows you where they are on this subject: tell her to call Iran up and have them send over a care package, I doubt they even know about the refugees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is, nobody likes feeding someone else free, go ask your neighbor for a free lunch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-1575657671117024300?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/1575657671117024300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=1575657671117024300' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1575657671117024300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1575657671117024300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/free-lunch-jolie-in-thailand.html' title='Free Lunch Jolie in Thailand'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6929297694019265781</id><published>2009-02-06T12:46:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-06T14:29:33.990-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Michael Phelps: how sorry is he?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;First of all, my wife is a swimmer, and likes Michael in the sense of a hero, of Heroes. Now let's admit, he did not commit the unpardonable sin, but my wife was depressed all evening over it, kind of like took the wind out of her. I'm a hard man to please, but she convinced me that Phelps was the real deal, that this young guy had it together. Matter of fact so much so, I told my Godchildren, as they now are going to college, eat, sleep and study, like Michael Phelps does; I took my wife's opinion he was OK. I am a licensed psychologist, and have a doctorate in education, so I am not easy to convince. But Mike proved himself worthy of my wife's respect, and I for once went along with it.&lt;br /&gt;But now I wonder, how sorry is he really? That is questionable in my mind anyhow. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake, and correcting it, saying you are sorry for it, when you mean it. But did Mike really mean it; perhaps he meant: I'm sorry for getting caught, not for smoking pot. The word sorry is simply a word with no action, it is not an action word; you prove it after the fact.&lt;br /&gt;The question comes up then, how many times in the past has he been sorry for things, he did, and did not correct his behavior thereafter. One must look at this simply because, a one time thing is one thing, twice is a pattern, and if we keep saying, 'OK' and he keeps saying 'I'm sorry,' it makes us look gullible.&lt;br /&gt;Kellogg, evidently has some good industrial psychologist's working in their department, they caught this concept early on, and suspended his contract, and stopped the funding for the US Olympic team (of course the Olympic team is running in circles now, trying to convinced everyone Mike is young, and thus does silly things like young folks do, which is a silly way of looking at responsibility vs. responsible behaviour, he is doing a job, and getting paid for it, a professional, this baby stuff, you leave behind you, and now Mike you are man, I don't like these silly excuses when you are on a world wide stage).&lt;br /&gt;Was this smart of the Kellogg Co? oh yes, yes indeed; you see, I am 61-years old, and for 40-of those years when I've walked down the grocery isle, I have often looked at that Kellogg cereal box, turned it around to see who was on it, or even on the front, I'm not even a fan of swimming, nor football, nor baseball, but rather boxing and karate, and I never have noticed one of those athletes, on the box, wake up Kellogg's, and do it right; none the less, I still look at the boxes, the so called heroes of sports. And I if I was Kellogg's I'd not want a dope addict on it.Now back to the 'sorry' stuff! Mike was sorry in 2004, for driving under the influence, in simple terms, endangering the public with his alcoholic behaviour: he was sorry then too of course.&lt;br /&gt;What Mr. Phelps needs to learn is, first, he is replaceable, and there are many people standing in line waiting and perhaps wishing he'd fall, so that they could take his place, sorry to say but he already knows this; second, if the Gold Medals are too heavy, spend some of that money you got from Kellogg, to have someone else carry them. Third, if you're going to be a dope freak, do it in hiding, it will come out anyhow in the wash, but you got a little more time to fool the public, and if Kellogg is not looking directly at you daily, maybe them. Third, we have enough deadbeat heroes out there; get off the podium stand, no one likes listening to a druggie.&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, he is a liar also, he pledged to "My Victory" an anti drug organization, and I suppose he's sorry to them also. And Mike, I'm really sorry I have to write this article.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6929297694019265781?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6929297694019265781/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6929297694019265781' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6929297694019265781'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6929297694019265781'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/michael-phelps-how-sorry-is-he.html' title='Michael Phelps: how sorry is he?'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-7473944447755664692</id><published>2009-02-05T15:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T15:39:17.246-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Faith Based Obama (Is he hiring or firing?/letter 4, 2-5-2009)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Faith Based Obama&lt;br /&gt;Is he hiring or firing? ((Letter: 4) (2-5-2009))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should the Government continue to give money to Christian organizations, that do well for mankind, or not? Or for that matter, should any religious organization, take federal funds, and be subjected to hiring outside of their values and faith? Bush never had a hard time with this question, but it seems like Obama does, is it based on winning friends, or losing friends I think, yet I feel the decision should be based on ethics, it is not a matter for discrimination.  What is ethics anyhow? Principles and morals; the one thing the opposing forces do not have. Of course these forces are going to try and hogtie Obama.  To me it should be left alone, but if you want to get heated about it, we should stop sending free money over to the PLO (millions and millions of dollars, and millions more coming out of the UN, which we give billons to), and the billions to Pakistan, and Egypt. They are Islamic, and for Islam, not for Christianity nor do the represent our values, and if we are talking about discrimination, it comes in a big tax free package to them, gift wrapped, with no strings attached, other than, please listen to us now and then: and no one is screaming about discrimination on how they use the funds.  The PLO, instead of buying food, gives it to Hamas, to buy weapons to kill Jews. And the Muslim world criticizes the United States for giving money to Israel: they would prefer we send their care package to them.  Everybody in the Middle East has their hands in the pockets of the tax paying people of America. And we are squabbling over some pennies given to churches, and so forth in America.  Wake up and look around. See what good they are doing, and if they are doing well, leave them alone.  Do you think the Middle East is giving the world freely, a humanity gift? No way, they charge for every drop of oil.  Without their oil it would be one big sandbox, and the hounds would be chasing the fox.&lt;br /&gt;       I see Obama almost trembling over this little stuff, you can’t please everyone Mr. President, and this doesn’t even belong on your agenda more than a flash. Tell the complainers to go home and find something better to do with their day, they got too much time on their hands; we got too many crybabies out there. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-7473944447755664692?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/7473944447755664692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=7473944447755664692' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7473944447755664692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7473944447755664692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/faith-based-obama-is-he-hiring-or.html' title='Faith Based Obama (Is he hiring or firing?/letter 4, 2-5-2009)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-1501762881862850273</id><published>2009-02-03T09:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-03T09:16:46.745-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Iran's Nuclear Mission (Deadly!)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; Iran’s Nuclear Mission&lt;br /&gt;(Deadly!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran is doing exactly what Iran said they’d do, create a monster to destroy Israel, they now have launch capability. I worked with nuclear weapons, in Germany, it is one thing to have the nuclear fat boy, or the actual chemicals and trigger device to set into a big round encasing, holding a 280-megaton bomb, which we had 90-of them at one site, at one time, back in 1974, but we had no launch capability, thus, if Russia came over the hill, we would have had to bury them deep, and that was our mission.  It was a scare mission, not a particle one, because we were playing the paper tiger, but nowadays, that will not work.&lt;br /&gt;       But Israel knows much more than I do, and they know launch capability, means in hard words, blackmail capability, or total destruction capability. And do you trust someone, who is un-trustable, and you know this?  If you do than you are what they call, gullible.  Hitler and Stalin worked on that premise. It is one thing to have the nuclear bomb on your side, or as it has been said, you got the gun. But when everyone has the gun, it don’t mean a think that you have it also.&lt;br /&gt;       Iran has already said they would bury Israel in the desert sands, and we should take that statement seriously, too many Americans think the Islamic world simply talks for no reason, they do brag much more than they are capable of doing, but once they acquire the knowledge, and capability, they use it. All you need to do is ask the Kurds, and the chemicals they had to enduring by Saddam.&lt;br /&gt;       And need I say, they are closer to acquiring the real deal with nuclear blast than you’d like to believe.&lt;br /&gt;       Will they use it?  That is like saying, did Stalin kill 40-millon of its own people, of course they will, and if their own people get in the way, they’ll do what Stalin did, perhaps quicker.&lt;br /&gt;       The only reason Israel has not hit Iran thus far is because the United States has pulled them back, but this is not a smart think to do forever, and Obama, needs to reason this out, if indeed he’s capable of seeing the trees in front of the forest. And that’s questionable in my mind, although I know his generals see reality.&lt;br /&gt;       Israel on the other hand has to count the cost, if they do nothing, Russia will soon be their untouchable amigo, like white on rice, and if then they hit Iran, we are looking at a ripple effect. And Obama will have to bury his head like an ostrich, to hide from the mounting issues, I wouldn’t want any president to have to deal with the after effects of a nuclear strike on Israel; Iraq will look like a Boy Scout picnic issue in comparisons.&lt;br /&gt;       Iran will have its nuclear bomb soon, they are grooming it this very minute, and now has its launch capability, and the devils tail is not far behind.   Iran wants their rights, without responsibilities, and who knows, maybe they will get it.&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-1501762881862850273?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/1501762881862850273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=1501762881862850273' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1501762881862850273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1501762881862850273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/02/irans-nuclear-mission-deadly.html' title='Iran&apos;s Nuclear Mission (Deadly!)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-300151959619446233</id><published>2009-01-28T12:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-28T12:46:06.035-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Week One with Obama (he is acting instead of reacting)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt; Week One with Obama&lt;br /&gt;He is acting, instead of Reacting ((Letter: 3) (1-28-2009))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I see CNN, and a few other folks have evaluated Obama’s first week in office, and therefore so shall I (and it looks to be there report more positive than mine).  Some one said, he is doing a good balancing act. It is more like he is acting, not reacting, he has a good psychotherapist by his side, that takes practice.&lt;br /&gt;       Anyhow, how is he doing?  To me, not very good, He is simply taking from Peter and giving to Paul, as far as the Middle East goes. And saying “Look! I did what I said I was going to do, and then makes an about turn, by  sending 30,000 more American troops next door, to Afghanistan from Iraqi, and a lot more money to build their so called infrastructure, now that we’ve poured a trillion into Iraqi’s. Thus, the balance in the Middle East is the same, even though it may look different.&lt;br /&gt;       Then there is an implication that he is going to congress and try to present his logic to the Republicans, for spending the $825-billion dollars.  It has been said, he has enough democratic support, he really doesn’t need the Republicans support, but like a good guy, he’s going to go talk to them.  Now listen up please, he is not going over there to change his agenda, he is going over there to try and persuade, and the word persuade, really means, in plain talk, manipulate, the Republicans, to march along with his tune, for the sake of unity, for what it looks like to the rest of the world.  He already has his agenda set, matter of fact; he had modified Bush’s old agenda for spending the money, which was made up by Republicans, so it is really more a slap in the face if anything. He would be better off not going at all; just do your thing.&lt;br /&gt;       He is like he has been from the beginning, secretive.  In some countries that is called a man with no blood in his face, one who can look you in the eyes,  and stab you in the back (figure of speech of course, for those folks who cannot read between he lines).&lt;br /&gt;       So no, not one thing worth while has taken place since he took office, worthy of acclaiming he is doing his job according to the wishes of the majority of the people in the United States. To the contrary.&lt;br /&gt;       The best I can say for him this past week is, he is not afraid to say he’ll go after terrorists even if he has to cross boarders without permission. Although that is one thing I would have kept secret until after the action.  I hope now, he doesn’t say he’s sorry for saying what he said. He’s got to learn to shut his mouth some times, even though he loves to talk, and   saying ‘sorry’ doesn’t help either. And as far as Pakistan,   I know they do not want our unarmed robots flying about their boarder, and there is a good reason for that, the terrorists are losing sleep, and their president wants our president to give them information where the enemy are sleeping so they can go wake them up, but we all know better don’t we, you don’t bite the hand that feeds you.  In this case, America sends a lot of dollars, tax free to them, and the terrorists, pay in other ways, to the government, of Pakistan, so they got both pockets full, or two birds with one stone, and they are trying to find the weakest link in the chain, and keep boy pockets filled at the same time, but you can’t keep feeding a dead duck.  So they got to think.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-300151959619446233?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/300151959619446233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=300151959619446233' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/300151959619446233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/300151959619446233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/01/week-one-with-obama-he-is-acting.html' title='Week One with Obama (he is acting instead of reacting)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-3918536457393481785</id><published>2009-01-27T16:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T16:24:15.291-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Goodbye Big John Updike</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Goodbye Big John (a bad tribute for John Updike)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farewell John Updike, man of the day, sorry to here you pass away, but at 76-years old, you are old white and gray, what can I say… (the poem part, now the article)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;…and he wrote a lot, so he was happy. &lt;br /&gt;       Now for my two-cents, on the matter of his writing and I read a lot, perhaps several hours a day, everyday of the week,   in libraries, and bookstores, and I saw John’s books day after day, year after year, decade after decade. And ever so often I’d pick one up, of his newer books, or one of his old ones I hadn’t examined yet, see I said examined, and there is a purpose to that word, because overtime I picked up a lot of his books, sat down to read them, chapter after chapter, I was glad I never invested in one though, to the point of brining it up to the teller, and paying hard earned cash for, they never interested me beyond the second or third chapters (which were always dull); and when I skimmed the book, seeing if a middle chapter was perhaps hiding something of value, I’d find to my recollection, nothing.  The first chapters were never good, and therefore I shouldn’t have expected the other ones to be any better, but I was hoping for a miracle, I think.&lt;br /&gt;       I know he had to make a living, so he put his sexuality stuff in there, and it sold. Too many authors nowadays sell their soul for a few bucks. He was no different. He even won some prizes, which are becoming more for popularity, than for good writing.&lt;br /&gt;       I do have to acknowledge he was a prolific writer, but then, many people are obsessed with one thing or another, and he was with writing. He will be quickly forgotten, because he has never written anything worth remembering: sorry to say, yes he wasted all those years. &lt;br /&gt;       John Kerry, honors him today, as does his home state, not sure what for though.&lt;br /&gt;       Norman Mailer, has criticized him in the past, and I would consider Norman a much more attractive writer than John by far. So those who are saying: I got a sour mouth, so does Mailer if indeed anyone is saying that.&lt;br /&gt;       My idea of writing, just to write, is like sleeping just to sleep, or eating just to eat.  I eat when I’m hungry, I sleep when I’m tired, and I write, when I got something worth saying, and I have a lot to say. The End.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3918536457393481785?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3918536457393481785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3918536457393481785' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3918536457393481785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3918536457393481785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/01/goodbye-big-john-updike.html' title='Goodbye Big John Updike'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-3705091218506829506</id><published>2009-01-24T22:07:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T22:08:05.017-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama's Bombing One-hundred</title><content type='html'>Obama’s bombing One-hundred&lt;br /&gt;(Letter Two)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       He says, President Obama, he will bring home the troops in 16-months from Iraq (I want to see this), he said that on 1-22-2009, and he said that during his march to the White House.  That so far is the only practical, workable decision he has thus far made worthy of his office, and something tells me they will be there longer, seeing is believing: as they say. I hate to make fun of this guy but we really got a lemon wherever, and whoever found him.  I don’t need to look for things to criticize; he force feeds us to eat them raw.&lt;br /&gt;       We got a President here, who is just signing papers, orders, thinking he’s Allah, or God and things will simply just fall in place because he’s got a horde of people under his wings following him like a bunch of ducks, he’s got to be a little more responsible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       1-23-2009, I am not sure if the President had Economics 101 at Harvard or not, but if he did, he didn’t learn a thing.  This guy is calling for America, telling them that we are going to go through a great crisis, one that has not been seen for 26-years, and what I plan to do is spend more money on Government cars, and grant programs, and updating federal buildings, and telling everyone to go out and borrow money to update their houses for winter, and summer cooling, and what exactly he is talking about is beyond me. He says unemployment is going to hit the high mark, so go spend, because that is what he’s going to do himself, with our tax money, or perhaps it isn’t tax money, just paper the Federal Reserve is printing up.  We should, reverse all that, I knew he had no plan, but thought someone would clue him in at the last minute and not make a fool of himself, sorry to say, it didn’t happen. I would tell the college students, to go home and help their families out, not to be part of the storm that is about to hit the United States, and beg for a free hand out. And tell the government employers, they can due with a two year old car for awhile, and tell the credit card people not to rob the public with 20% interest rates so people can afford to used their credit cards to stimulate the economy, and tell…oh well you know what I mean, talk sensible for once.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3705091218506829506?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3705091218506829506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3705091218506829506' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3705091218506829506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3705091218506829506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/01/obamas-bombing-one-hundred.html' title='Obama&apos;s Bombing One-hundred'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-3896339560422276269</id><published>2009-01-15T17:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T17:40:34.947-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Siluk Horror writer: Bram Stoaker Award  (2009)</title><content type='html'>Siluk Horror writer: Bram Stoker Award&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Announcing the Horror Stories and books by&lt;br /&gt; Dr. Dennis L.

(1-15-2009)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I just can’t figure people out, that is to say, are they faking their stupidly, or are they really as stupid as they sound. And today’s a good example of that, with the following statement,  from CNN (which of course if you follow this most recent uprising between Israel and Hamas you will also see how one sided CNN is on who they prefer to be the winner of the war, or at least I see it that way), anyhow the statement reads: “ Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday that the shelling of a U.N. relief agency's compound in Gaza City was "a grave mistake," the U.N. chief said.” Let’s look at this closer.&lt;br /&gt;       Can we not get a Secretary-General at the UN who is not pro Palestine ever? This guy Ban Ki-moon is from the moon. Rocket him back. I mean, do you really think Israel cares what Ki-moon says, and he says it like he is superman “a grave mistake,” I repeat, what does that mean?  I mean, what does he think he can do to Israel the UN has not already done?&lt;br /&gt;       First of all, the UN is and always has been for ages one sided, they are Jew haters, and everyone knows this who pays any attention to what is going on at the UN. I mean, the Jews can’t even represent themselves at the UN. Can’t walk down the halls where the Palatines, walk, it is worse there, than it was during the Civil War in the USA, with the Blacks. If it wasn’t for the US veto power, the state of Israel would not exist.&lt;br /&gt;       If it was up to the UN, they would have Israel sit down quietly, and be targeted by Hamas, until every Jew in Israeli was dead. And that is not funny, but it is a fact.  They are asking them to do what no country would do right at this moment, have asked them several times to lay down and die.  If Mexico was sending over rockets into California, what to you think the response would be?  And if Ki-moon said, “It would be a grave mistake to attack them back,” what do you think the people of the United States would say?  Remember Georgia and Russia a few months back, that is the response the US would give Mexico, and to the UN, well, since we give them $20-billion dollars a year they may not sound off too loud.&lt;br /&gt;       But the point here is this: the UN has no cards to play with Israel other than convincing he US to betray Israel, and with the new president coming into office, who knows what, we shall find out soon what side of the fence he prefers: and they will not condemn Hamas, face to face, and the citizens of Gaza are—and they already know they are—the sacrifice for the so called homeland (which in the back of their heads should be all of Israel, to include the Holy City).  Their job is to keep Israel busy, warn down, until the Arab world unites into a confederation, and obliterates Israel, somewhere down the road; the code of the people.&lt;br /&gt;       In any war, you go to win not to put a bandage on a wound that needs an operation.  Wake up Mr. Ki-moon; we’re all not dummies out here, as you’d like us to be.&lt;br /&gt;       Last but not least, the question comes up, referring to the compound fired upon that belongs to the UN today, or perhaps over there it was yesterday.  The UN assumed without investigation, Israel was at fault, and perhaps they were, but it is a 50 to 50, toss of the coin at the moment, meaning, perhaps the beloved Hamas, on their behalf, did the dirty deed, and if so I wonder if they will get their hands slapped by Mr. Ki-moon, which they could care less, but it would be interesting to see.  Second, the UN must, or should try to realize it is in a war zone, not Disneyland.&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-7714390740420891854?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/7714390740420891854/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=7714390740420891854' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7714390740420891854'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7714390740420891854'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/01/gaza-uprising-and-ki-moons-threat.html' title='The Gaza Uprising--and Ki-Moon&apos;s threat'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-1847467968674490645</id><published>2009-01-14T20:01:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T09:23:28.391-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Movie Review: The DLS Movie Awards for 1-2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Movie Review: Movie of the Month (1-2009)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been a long time since I did a movie review, or given my opinion on movies, I avoid them, as I try to avoid my opinion on many areas in arts until I find something extraordinary to write, or it stands out above the rest. Having said that let me pick out a few movies worth my time, and the best of the best.&lt;br /&gt;Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in “Righteous Kill” was a worthwhile movie, and gave everyone a surprised ending. They are both well seasoned actors, and it appeared for a while they went backwards in acting, now they got a serious roll, instead of some quick earned cash where all they got to do is move their baby finger.&lt;br /&gt;Another worthwhile movie was the recent one by Liam Neeson, whom seemed to me had retired from the screen, he is back, “Taken,” is a move that we all can identify with, and he does what we’d all like to do, Liam doesn’t let the movie goers down.&lt;br /&gt;The remake of “The Day the World Stood Still,” most remakes are not worth their salt, like the two or three made of “King Kong,” they just get worse, but this one was good, actually a little better than the original and I saw the original when it first came out, and that is hard for me to say.&lt;br /&gt;Keanu Reeves was good in movie, I think he kind of stepped back for a while making movies not worth making, but he made up for all that lazy time, this time, and got paid for acting, instead of just being there. Good Job, he is a young actor, and is back on track.&lt;br /&gt;A strange move called “Red,” came out with Brian Cox and Tom Sizemore (Robert Englund), it is a slow going movie at first, and one does not expect what happens to happen, vengeance is sweet, and the acting is smooth.&lt;br /&gt;But for my money the best of the best, was the movie “Gran Torino,” by Clint Eastwood. The acting is good, even by the actors I never seen before. The theme is good, the plot builds up, and the ending, fools you, and you’ll be satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;It is a movie with a lot of bad language in it, swearing that is, and I don’t care for that, and there is too much of that in movies nowadays, but somehow it fits in this movie, I hate to say. It is Mr. Eastwood’s best movie, or show since “Unforgiving.”&lt;br /&gt;“Appaloosa” the cowboy move, with Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris in it is a worth while move, and Renee Zellweger plays a worthwhile part, actually her part remained me of someone in my youth, along with Jeremy Irons.&lt;br /&gt;They, the movie makers, seem nowadays to have a hard time making good old westerns, but this one is worth my time.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I hate to tell you what I think of the rest of the junk out there, and there is a lot of it…so if you got nothing good to say, it is best leave it alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last Notes:  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember Clint, when he was playing in those early cowboy movies, over in Italy, he always got the last punch in.  And those Dirty Harry movies, he killed every one, I think he borrowed Elvis' upper lip for those movies.  Anyhow, in his second to last good movie, "Uulnforgiven," he went home to retire.  In this most recent movie, the Gran...he dies.  What is the message here?  Perhaps this is his last one, his last movie. Now he can rest, or play with his music, he like that I undersand. Or maybe can do some good for mankind, besides entertaining them for thirty-million to start. Anyhow, good luck.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be quite honest, I don't have a lot of anything for actors. They come and go, and fade into the dust, when  they think they will live on forever, and live like it. Well, if that is the case, farewell to a man who did nothing but act which he did well, and like everyone in such a career in Hollywood, he will be replaced soon.  And forgotten soon after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-1847467968674490645?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/1847467968674490645/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=1847467968674490645' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1847467968674490645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/1847467968674490645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2009/01/movie-review-dls-movie-awards-for-1.html' title='Movie Review: The DLS Movie Awards for 1-2009'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-7280597506953065521</id><published>2009-01-13T08:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T08:21:36.807-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Scramble to Understra (Poetic Prose, with Commentary on form and Allen Ginsberg)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Scramble to Understra&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ancient frozen dome cloaking Greenland is so vast these days—that it shell-shocks me (and many others), they crashed into what they thought was a cloud overseeing it, so says, the Ice Data Center, afar in the horizon. Flying over it, one can scarcely see Colorado—or thereabouts, and I am a veteran of both Greenland and Antarctica, this ice could erode fast enough to raise the sea beyond our cities boundaries, I fear that the rise is seas in a warming world, nervously will be, sometime soon. Scramble to Understra they say, wherever that is; perhaps under the sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flanks around Greenland, in spring and summer will melt, however, a marathon they fear, much greater than the upper estimate by about two, different; for a lengthening spring of warm years to come, a century of observations, made last year by the Office of Intergovernmental of Blue Lakes and Rivulets; a meltdown, and climate change. Scramble to Understra they say, wherever that is; perhaps under the sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever higher on the ice cap, the melting surface, seas rose more than a foot, in the 20th century,  absorbing up as much energy, says the panel’s assessment, which reflects sunlight, natural factors known to contribute to ice flows but called Moulin’s, well enough to estimate with confidence. Scramble to Understra they say, wherever that is; perhaps under the sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note:  Sometimes written poetry must take the form of free thought, when I say that, I mean, instantaneous, such as free association for the mind (meaning, you look, observe, and do), unregistered, and under no chemicals, just free, to see how the mind develops, what it sees and knows, the   voice, the inner voice of the mind, the second voice, knows what you know, and what you don’t think you know, it pulls out the psychological elements,  Allen Ginsberg tried to do, but couldn’t achieve: his mind was too involved with other things, pride and stardom, and materialism, all things he told the public, he told his conscious and tried to have it tell his subconscious,  he didn’t care for, but his mind and spirit knew different, it got in the way—there are three parts to the soul and they work in unison, should you infect one, you limit all three—this was an issue in his poetry, so did his views on Communism, Vietnam, and religion, gay rights, he sought, but never found, his mind was clogged, like a persons veins with fat; in his book “Empty Mirrors,” he should have stuck with that premise that developing style, it would have given him more freedom to understand the style he was after. Long line poems, or short line poems, or poetic repetition, or free flight, it all amounted to experiments—why?  Because they were experiments, and if so, how can it be, as he wanted it to be, free. “Howl,” is the worse poem ever written.  You comb a poem the way you comb your hair, and you don’t think, or talk to your second self, saying:  it should be this way or that way, you just do, and freely it falls as it should, it’s in they eyes.

And CNN news, which I follow daily, along with other news media’s, are the worse.  Today’s headlines reads, “World rallies around Palestinians and the Gaza offensive,” now let’s think logically, there is a reason for that headlines, after days of highlighting Israel’s attack on the Palestine, rallied by CNN news, who said little prior to that about Israel being bombarded daily for months on end by the rockets coming out of Gaza killing, wounding, destroying parts of Israel, the cities, etc., what do you expect, a hug and a kiss?  It doesn’t take a Ph.D., to figure it out; CNN created the monster, Israel is supposed to be.  I bet if the high executives of CNN were over in Israel, before they started hitting back the enemy that has been hitting them for six months, with 10,000 rockets, they’d have pulled their children out mighty quick, but instead CNN creates a stampeded, and calls it world opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush, which I voted for the first time, and regretted the second, has at least good eyesight, he can see the smoke in the forest, and can figure it out, there’s fire someplace in yonder land,  he knows right from wrong also, and the world is wrong, and so is CNN to blast Israel for trying to make it safe for their citizens to have a good night’s sleep. Germany, France and Spain, and a lot more of Europe are Jew haters, and the world knows this, if not, the world is sleeping on it, so if they go to the streets in protest, we all know why, they’d like to burn them alive, and they will again, when the United States goes to sleep, or if not, they will hope the Middle East will do it for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CNN mentions a few other countries, to build up their criteria that they are justified in proclaiming the world is mad at what Israel is doing, which by the way I think is justified, by using Iran, and Egypt, and Jordon, along with Indonesia, Libya, all again Jew haters (Muslim countries this time), can they not find someone neutral?  That is like me running to the loser of a fight, who tried to knock out his opponent with a slug hammer, and was spotted before he could slam it over his head, and now yelling to me, the referee (as the Palestinians did to the Jew Haters at the UN) and saying, “Unfair fight!” How rotten can you get?  CNN has no blood in the face.  And then the Palestine’s saying, “It is Hamas, and not all the people in Gaza, and we are paying the deadly price…” listen  up PLO, Hamas is whom you voted for, and you get what you reap, or plant, if you plant poison, you get it.  Israel knows the old saying, to have peace, you got to prepare for war, if they didn’t believe it that, they’d not be here today, by CNN standards. Caracas, Venezuela has even taken sides, and that is obvious why, they are hoping and allowing the Palestine’s to fight with them against the USA; what Venezuela doesn’t understand is, Hamas has no friends, and when the time comes, they will bake Venezuela alive.  There are what you call a “Money see, Monkey do,” country, not much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-3474225856817704055?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/3474225856817704055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=3474225856817704055' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3474225856817704055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/3474225856817704055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2008/12/isreal-monkey-see-money-do-isreal.html' title='Isreal: Monkey see, Money Do (Isreal Kicking thier Butts!&quot;)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-7916417615740409913</id><published>2007-02-20T15:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-20T15:47:47.003-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Punitive damages against Big Tobacco: A Mockery</title><content type='html'>Punitive damages against Big Tobacco: A Mockery&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stopped smoking 22-years ago.  I started when I was 13 and ended up smoking three packs of cigarettes a day.  Now I knew at 13 (and I’m 59 years old now), I knew then cigarettes were bad for me, so when I read a case like the one I read today “…$80 million punitive damages ruling against Philip Morris. The damages had been awarded in a suit brought by the family of an Oregon man who died from a smoking-related disease. …Williams told her: ‘Those darn cigarette people finally did it. They were lying all the time."’ CNN (after 47-years of smoking). Now let’s get serious. &lt;br /&gt;       I knew at 13 they were bad, don’t tell me this guy at 60, didn’t’ know until he got cancer.  He’s smoking more than tobacco if he can’t figure that out, I mean, my mother was telling me that, my teachers, everyone, tobacco is not good for you for 45-years.  He must be from Mars.  Are the judges that dumb to believe him; I’m not for Philip Morris, or for the man with cancer, I just don’t believe he didn’t know they were bad for him, and he didn’t care until he figured he could leave or get some money for nothing, if indeed the reward was based on that. &lt;br /&gt;       Feeling sorry for someone who wants to be self destructive is one thing—you can do that, I can’t, but let’s take a little responsibility for our actions.  We should go after the liquor people, since they give us all these internal origin disease then, I mean we get hooked on alcohol just as fast, with deadly consequences; and how about gambling, lets tax the casinos for all the broken homes they’ve caused, because gambling can be a psychological addiction, and rob the family of a roof over ones head, and bread to eat.  Where do we start and stop? If the government allows it, the government should pay half that $80-million, if the judges condemn it and reward the user. That is how I feel anyhow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-7916417615740409913?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/7916417615740409913/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=7916417615740409913' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7916417615740409913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/7916417615740409913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2007/02/punitive-damages-against-big-tobacco.html' title='Punitive damages against Big Tobacco: A Mockery'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-6323041362868351957</id><published>2007-02-17T14:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-17T14:22:14.775-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Top Ten Most Unique Cities of the World</title><content type='html'>Most folks that write have never experience what they write; I have in most everything I’ve ever written, experienced it first, in one way or another. Here are the Top Ten Most Unique Cites of the world. When somebody writes about something, they got to know where they are coming from, because the writer is always biased. CNN did a review on the best places in the world to live a year ago or so, and I reviewed it, and did my own. Why? Because the person, or persons doing the review were limited in experience to do a proper review. Why do I say that, because they picked out Geneva, as the best place to live in his world? Their criteria were whatever it was, but Europe is no safer to live nowadays, than America, or New York City was in 2001. Geneva is prone to terrorist attacks just as much as New York City was, or any city that has a United Nations in it, or some form of world Government.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing is, it is very expensive to live there, I’ve been to Switzerland, and it is not cheap. Plus, the weather is not all that hot or great, the Mantaro Valley of Peru is much better, likened to Arizona, safer and cheaper to live, with a good hospital near by Huancayo. I could go on, but my point is, their selection was bogus to me, simply a way to advertise Geneva so people would go there. So to be honest about what you write you must experience it. I’ve traveled for 38-years, over 700,000-air miles, to 60-countries, and 46-states. I’ve been on seven of the so called, eight continents (the eighth being the South Pacific Islands, I yet to go to Antarctica, then I will have been to all of them.&lt;br /&gt;Hear is my list of cities:&lt;br /&gt;1—Paris (France), yes I’m also biased, that is my prerogative though. Paris is my city, not necessarily its people, if indeed I could put Londoners into Paris, and kick out the Parisians, it would become even a greater city in my eyes. But here is a city, deserving or not, that has all the monuments, all the great museums, where all the great writers came, and painters, poets, cultures, and so forth and on, and on. Victory Hugo lived here was senator. Where Gertrude Stein open her doors to the US Military Men; where Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Picasso and Dali, came to paint and write, experience. Notre Dame, perhaps the most grandest church in the world resides here, and the Arch of Triumph remain to be seen, to those of us who can feel victory over war. And of course the renowned Eiffel Tower, which played a part in the 1880s World Fair. I’ve also been to Paris four times. It surely is a city of lights, as New Orleans is a city of Night.&lt;br /&gt;2—New York City (USA) I’ve been to NYC four times, it is to me, the city of bulk, took my breath away when I first saw it. And Battery Park, looking out into the bay, to the Statue of Liberty, is a humbling thing. Walking down 5th Ave, and through Central Park, onto Times Square, and down to the Empire State Building, is a unique experience. Manhattan: engulfs, and traps you. And I found it as safe, if not safer than Athens, Rome, or London.&lt;br /&gt;3—Istanbul (Turkey)—it is a unique city near the Black Sea, and its streets, and Mosques (especially the Blue Mosque), Cathedral, and its towering walls that stretch up and down the straight, are marvelous. Here you can shop in the world's largest Bazaar (open Market), be careful, you can get lost. The food is good in Turkey, and the people are warm and friendly, be careful if you travel outside of Turkey, not every city is as friendly as Istanbul. I have only been here once, but would come back a second and third time, if life and money permits. And very few cities do I ever return to.&lt;br /&gt;4—Valetta (Malta) in the heart of the Mediterranean, it is unique among all the islands. I been to many islands in the world, and the only other one that can compare to this island is Easter Island. The island has its caves and archaeological sites, which seem to be in the backyards in residential areas. The city is a great walled city, and plays a historic roll in the times of the Crusades, as well as WWII: it has more churches on it than Rome I believe. Called the Maltese, which it has three connecting, I also went to Gozo. But the city is a gem. My wife would love to come back here.&lt;br /&gt;5—San Francisco (USA) it is where it all started in the 1960s, and I was there for a year, 1968-69. It was the city by the bay. With its Golden Gate Park, and its Golden Gate Bridge, and it was a time of music, and a freedom never duplicated since. It is the most quaint and unique City on any coast, of the world. And it, like Paris, has its landmarks to see. And smaller than New York City, it has a sense of bulkiness. The Ocean sweeps into your hands almost, and the turn of the 19th century remains in the city a bit. It is where all the musicians go to, come out of, remain. I lived here a year.&lt;br /&gt;6—Lisbon (Portugal) it has it history, its great Castle on the hill, its iron tower, which I went to a half dozen times, Eiffel, made it, yes, the very one who made the tower in Paris. The city has its parks, and its monuments, and is liken to Malta, in the since, the city is almost on top of the Ocean. It was devastated by an earth quake a hundred years ago or so, and was a world trade port at one time. You can see its uniqueness in its architecture, like Havana, Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;7—Kyoto (Japan) City of the Geisha, city in the middle of Japan, so it seems; and a unique city at that; it has its monuments, in the form of temples, and its historic section called Geon, which I walked down, and was treated very well by the folks in the guest houses. It has an old aqueduct and a great tower also in the city. When I think of Kyoto, I think always of the best city in Japan, not huge, but clean, with all the taste of Japan rolled up in one city.&lt;br /&gt;8—Sevilla (Spain) this is the city of Hercules, where legend says he was born. And where legend says, Columbus is buried in its cathedral. Here is where there are bullfights, and a great night life, singing and playing guitars in the larger clubs. The food is great here, and the plazas are picturesque. It is a peaceful place, with a unique richness, freshness, and it has its canals in the city liken to Burges.&lt;br /&gt;9—Burges (Belgium) The greatest medieval city in Europe, what more can I say, as my wife said when she says it: it looks like a fairytale city. Other than that I’m lost for words, but take a ride in a boat around its channels (like Venice).&lt;br /&gt;10—Cusco (Peru) Peru in general is the Egypt of South America, but much friendlier than Cairo, for I’ve been in Egypt, and Cairo, and would never return. When I was in Egypt, and Cairo, I always felt guarded, or needed to be, in Peru, the folks love you there, and I really never feel the need to be over guarded. I was to Peru 9-times, to Cusco once, to the Mantaro Valley four times, to Lima, nine. I’m not sure where you start, to bring out the glory of my trips. It is the land of the Inca, and in the Mantaro Valley, the land of the Great Warriors, the Wanka. They have the coast, or ocean by Lima, and Cusco, has the Andes, and Machu Picchu, and world monument. But wherever you go in Peru, are monuments. To the north of Lima, is the famous and deadly Amazon, which I’ve been down. So you got a city in the mountains, called Cusco, surrounded by a world called Peru, a unique place, like Cusco.&lt;br /&gt;2nd Place:&lt;br /&gt;Venice, Italy (City on Water)Havana, Cuba (City of Architecture)Glastonbury, England (City of the Tor)Stockbridge, Massachusetts (Norman Rockwell’s city)Rome, Italy (Regal City of the World)Athens, Greece (City of Thesus)New Orleans, USA (The city of Night)Augsburg, Germany (Old Roman Compound)Beijing, China (City of the Forbidden City)Buenos Aires (The city of Eva Peron)Jaipur, India (the Pink city)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-6323041362868351957?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/6323041362868351957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=6323041362868351957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6323041362868351957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/6323041362868351957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2007/02/top-ten-most-unique-cities-of-world_17.html' title='The Top Ten Most Unique Cities of the World'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-2932451989495761750</id><published>2007-02-17T14:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-17T14:18:21.167-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Top Ten Most Unique Cities of the World</title><content type='html'>Most folks that write have never experience what they write; I have in most everything I’ve ever written, experienced it first, in one way or another.

Plus, the weather is not all that hot or great, the Mantaro Valley of Peru is much better, likened to Arizona, safer and cheaper to live, with a good hospital near by Huancayo. I could go on, but my point is, their selection was bogus to me, simply a way to advertise Geneva so people would go there. So to be honest about what you write you must experience it. I’ve traveled for 38-years, over 700,000-air miles, to 60-countries, and 46-states. I’ve been on seven of the so called, eight continents (the eighth being the South Pacific Islands, I yet to go to Antarctica, then I will have been to all of them.&lt;br /&gt;Hear is my list of cities:&lt;br /&gt;1—Paris (France), yes I’m also biased, that is my prerogative though. Paris is my city, not necessarily its people, if indeed I could put Londoners into Paris, and kick out the Parisians, it would become even a greater city in my eyes. But here is a city, deserving or not, that has all the monuments, all the great museums, where all the great writers came, and painters, poets, cultures, and so forth and on, and on. Victory Hugo lived here was senator. Where Gertrude Stein open her doors to the US Military Men; where Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Picasso and Dali, came to paint and write, experience. Notre Dame, perhaps the most grandest church in the world resides here, and the Arch of Triumph remain to be seen, to those of us who can feel victory over war. And of course the renowned Eiffel Tower, which played a part in the 1880s World Fair. I’ve also been to Paris four times. It surely is a city of lights, as New Orleans is a city of Night.&lt;br /&gt;2—New York City (USA) I’ve been to NYC four times, it is to me, the city of bulk, took my breath away when I first saw it. And Battery Park, looking out into the bay, to the Statue of Liberty, is a humbling thing. Walking down 5th Ave, and through Central Park, onto Times Square, and down to the Empire State Building, is a unique experience. Manhattan: engulfs, and traps you. And I found it as safe, if not safer than Athens, Rome, or London.&lt;br /&gt;3—Istanbul (Turkey)—it is a unique city near the Black Sea, and its streets, and Mosques (especially the Blue Mosque), Cathedral, and its towering walls that stretch up and down the straight, are marvelous. Here you can shop in the world's largest Bazaar (open Market), be careful, you can get lost. The food is good in Turkey, and the people are warm and friendly, be careful if you travel outside of Turkey, not every city is as friendly as Istanbul. I have only been here once, but would come back a second and third time, if life and money permits. And very few cities do I ever return to.&lt;br /&gt;4—Valetta (Malta) in the heart of the Mediterranean, it is unique among all the islands. I been to many islands in the world, and the only other one that can compare to this island is Easter Island. The island has its caves and archaeological sites, which seem to be in the backyards in residential areas. The city is a great walled city, and plays a historic roll in the times of the Crusades, as well as WWII: it has more churches on it than Rome I believe. Called the Maltese, which it has three connecting, I also went to Gozo. But the city is a gem. My wife would love to come back here.&lt;br /&gt;5—San Francisco (USA) it is where it all started in the 1960s, and I was there for a year, 1968-69. It was the city by the bay. With its Golden Gate Park, and its Golden Gate Bridge, and it was a time of music, and a freedom never duplicated since. It is the most quaint and unique City on any coast, of the world. And it, like Paris, has its landmarks to see. And smaller than New York City, it has a sense of bulkiness. The Ocean sweeps into your hands almost, and the turn of the 19th century remains in the city a bit. It is where all the musicians go to, come out of, remain. I lived here a year.&lt;br /&gt;6—Lisbon (Portugal) it has it history, its great Castle on the hill, its iron tower, which I went to a half dozen times, Eiffel, made it, yes, the very one who made the tower in Paris. The city has its parks, and its monuments, and is liken to Malta, in the since, the city is almost on top of the Ocean. It was devastated by an earth quake a hundred years ago or so, and was a world trade port at one time. You can see its uniqueness in its architecture, like Havana, Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;7—Kyoto (Japan) City of the Geisha, city in the middle of Japan, so it seems; and a unique city at that; it has its monuments, in the form of temples, and its historic section called Geon, which I walked down, and was treated very well by the folks in the guest houses. It has an old aqueduct and a great tower also in the city. When I think of Kyoto, I think always of the best city in Japan, not huge, but clean, with all the taste of Japan rolled up in one city.&lt;br /&gt;8—Sevilla (Spain) this is the city of Hercules, where legend says he was born. And where legend says, Columbus is buried in its cathedral. Here is where there are bullfights, and a great night life, singing and playing guitars in the larger clubs. The food is great here, and the plazas are picturesque. It is a peaceful place, with a unique richness, freshness, and it has its canals in the city liken to Burges.&lt;br /&gt;9—Burges (Belgium) The greatest medieval city in Europe, what more can I say, as my wife said when she says it: it looks like a fairytale city. Other than that I’m lost for words, but take a ride in a boat around its channels (like Venice).&lt;br /&gt;10—Cusco (Peru) Peru in general is the Egypt of South America, but much friendlier than Cairo, for I’ve been in Egypt, and Cairo, and would never return. When I was in Egypt, and Cairo, I always felt guarded, or needed to be, in Peru, the folks love you there, and I really never feel the need to be over guarded. I was to Peru 9-times, to Cusco once, to the Mantaro Valley four times, to Lima, nine. I’m not sure where you start, to bring out the glory of my trips. It is the land of the Inca, and in the Mantaro Valley, the land of the Great Warriors, the Wanka. They have the coast, or ocean by Lima, and Cusco, has the Andes, and Machu Picchu, and world monument. But wherever you go in Peru, are monuments. To the north of Lima, is the famous and deadly Amazon, which I’ve been down. So you got a city in the mountains, called Cusco, surrounded by a world called Peru, a unique place, like Cusco.&lt;br /&gt;2nd Place:&lt;br /&gt;Venice, Italy (City on Water)Havana, Cuba (City of Architecture)Glastonbury, England (City of the Tor)Stockbridge, Massachusetts (Norman Rockwell’s city)Rome, Italy (Regal City of the World)Athens, Greece (City of Thesus)New Orleans, USA (The city of Night)Augsburg, Germany (Old Roman Compound)Beijing, China (City of the Forbidden City)Buenos Aires (The city of Eva Peron)Jaipur, India (the Pink city)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-2932451989495761750?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/2932451989495761750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=2932451989495761750' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/2932451989495761750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/2932451989495761750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2007/02/top-ten-most-unique-cities-of-world.html' title='The Top Ten Most Unique Cities of the World'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116372606176213660</id><published>2006-11-16T17:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-16T17:14:21.773-08:00</updated><title type='text'>From Tehran to Damascus [The Fangs of Gods/a Poem]</title><content type='html'>From Tehran to Damascus&lt;br /&gt;[The Fangs of Gods/a Poem]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are kings in the lands I speak of, and their gods have hoofs and brutish brows, for they and they love there traitorous hours—with root steel teeth, and fed on blood, a hundred hands they cut off to get their way, and lead their nations down the road of nothingness—to Hell’s pale grave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Downward starts their road, and shapes of death, to and fro they go restless, yet not told: are the horrors and despair they will inflict, infest, and toss to the air, and then again, one can see ages of tears, lips wailing, waiting;

I don’t wish anyone bad luck not even him, and you can’t get much worse luck than that, but I think the old dictator has had his share of good luck these past 45-years (plus), with the whores he brings through the backdoors of his palace, as I was told by the many folks who watched his palace when I was in Havana, watched them come and go (horde his money also). Perhaps they are liars, but it would seem they got no more to lose than gain by telling me a fib.  Alas, he will not be returning back to power I would guess that may be a relief for the country he has put under his heal.  In addition, he has won a few victories; he can talk about in the hereafter.&lt;br /&gt;       This 80-year old crony of the out of date Leninism, or Communism, will now have to face his maker: it often bewilders me, what then?  I mean, you cause havoc for 40-years, and everyone thinks they are headed towards the pearly gates, only to look stray-eyed into the lions mouth of death, and join the rest of the dictators like him, in the worm chambers of Hell.  Perhaps he thinks he will be pardoned like the man on the cross at the last minute: nothing new, most of us feel that way.  Something tells me this will not happen, the heart has to tell the soul, something more than ‘pretty please.’  I will grieve for him and his kind, but perhaps not too long.  The world has seen too many of his kind in my day; I hope Cuba can find someone saner to be ruled by.  I shall say a prayer on that. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t wish him hell; I just can’t see who else would take him in; he can’t be the head honcho in Heaven, and perchance he might make corporal in Hell, and where else is there? Perhaps the silent grave would be better, and a death wishes for him.  But I shall say my goodbyes early, so I don’t have to write anymore on him.  It would be nice if he opened some doors for his people he slammed them on, in those 45-years he ruled with an iron hand; before he hits the road, but that would be too much to ask for. So long Mr. Castro, and good luck.

It shows simply the Coming of the world dictator. They want to leave America vulnerable, unable to move, so their dictator can move freely at will. If our government officials are subject to them, and soldiers, and our U. S. Secretary of Defense, then who has control of our country. They tried to have us under the United Nations whim, or wing, now the is ICC trying their best. Soon they will tell our President he can and cannot do whatever is in the interest of our Country. North America is not the only place this is occurring, South America as well. It is the whim of the Antichrist, the militarist behind this forthcoming human, exhibit of using international criminal prosecution to paralyze our countries will to fight on: the Muslim terrorist laughs at this, it is heaven sent for them.&lt;br /&gt;Germany is being used again, for this new phenomenon to bring America to its feet, why not they have a rich economy, and laws conducive for such an ignited fire, and it will be a rampant fire once this time bomb gets started. They don’t talk of the lives that were saved in the process of the imprisonment of criminals at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. I hope our president throws Germany, along with the lawsuit, where it belongs, in the garbage can, and get back to vaporize the terrorist before they do us. This insidious escalation, ICC is trying to push ahead, simply weakens our pledge to fight terrorists, and alarms everybody for nothing, at the end, the enemy laughs all the way home from the court rooms. I guess I feel that way about the Geneva Convention also; it serves only bad guys, and harnesses the good. The bad guys don’t change, they only regroup, and Israel can tell you that, that is why they don’t play tag with them.&lt;br /&gt;We have all these so called groups out there trying to protect the bad guys, throughout the world, and we keep seeing their victims, and then we become one, not because of the bad guys, but the good guys, what an awfulness to be facing, a Satanic conflict we are in. It is not even a matter of what is right and wrong anymore, it is simply a matter of survival. And the enemy is looking for loopholes, like the ICC, and the recent resignation of Mr. Rumsfeld, hand he not stepped down; it would not be on the ICC’s menu. I understand the world is in a transformation period, grant you that, and only the arrival of Christ will stop the evil horrors this world is putting up with, but until that day comes, America is the only hope this world has—for peace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116329411104768726?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116329411104768726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116329411104768726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/11/icc-international-court-under-satanic_11.html' title='ICC (International Court): under Satanic Influence'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116325693457519472</id><published>2006-11-11T06:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-11T06:55:34.586-08:00</updated><title type='text'>A Letter for Muhajea [Iraqi’s Big Duck]</title><content type='html'>A Letter for Muhajea [Iraqi’s Big Duck]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It never ends, you get these young leaders up front, and they speak like they got all the wisdom in the world, then when you take them down, off their throne, like Saddam, and others they are like little ducks walking in circles.  Now we got big mouth Abu Hamza al-Muhajea, who is shooting off his chops as if he is king of the hill.  When we brake this nose, or fracture his ribs, he will (like they all do) cry to the UN, and the rest of the world:  “Bully, bully on the USA.”  He talks about cowards, and for the United States to fight at their level, I don’t think that will happen, that is why there are 630,000 of their corpses laying about and less than 3000 Americans.  Perhaps it will take another 20% of their populations to get the picture.  Here is a man that thinks every Iraqi wants to live under his rubber heals in slavery.  He’s young now, but when he matures he’ll realize that a nice bath, a good meal, some freedom to go to the toilet, is not worth this game playing: King of the Hill crap.  I am not for war, but thank God we got solders to stop idiots like this, otherwise we’d be under his heal, as he’d like it to be.  He, like his followers are simply pious roots, of a demonic kind: either trying to get a paycheck, and will do anything for it, or are brainwashed.  They preach, this and that (things they will never do themselves), and go get drunk, rape at will, and have no respect for their places of worship, anymore than a doghouse., Thus, how can anyone respect them, for what they stand for is below the belt.  So to this duck, that wants to be plucked, you better hope Allah is not asleep from a hangover the day the US Soldiers come a knocking.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116325693457519472?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116325693457519472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116325693457519472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116325693457519472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116325693457519472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/11/letter-for-muhajea-iraqis-big-duck.html' title='A Letter for Muhajea [Iraqi’s Big Duck]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116259542958285685</id><published>2006-11-03T15:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-03T15:10:29.596-08:00</updated><title type='text'>No Rules Barred—The Palestine Way</title><content type='html'>I think Israel is the only one in the world that can play the same game, the Arabs play, and of course they don’t like that.  Let me explain.  They yell to the world (the UN, or the USA, or the EU) of the (most recently: Gaza City war) unfairness of Israel, in attacking them, here and there.  They always forget to say their snipers are hiding behind women, or in a mosque, or a church, shooting back, and in most cases were shooting long before they found their haven.  You see, the unfairness comes when the shooting back comes, or when the Israelis are starting to win a battle or war: so it is made to look onto the world.  Of course, the PLO, Palestine, has a concept, or theory for their fighters: no rules barred, only rule for the other side.  Hamas doesn’t want peace, only time to regroup, if they wanted this asset, they would have had it long ago.  Neither does Iran or Syria want the PLO to stand down, and create a lasting peace: it keeps Israel busy, as they put other plans into motion (as you can see, Iran has the bomb now).  I am not sure if the rest of the world is dumb, or just hate Jews, but it is a lopsided game, and the USA, knows this, and that is why I suppose they support Israel.  If it was up to the EU or UN, Papa Arafat, would have exterminated Israel long ago, with the help of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia (the truth is the truth, and this is it); the main players in this game of hide and seek, also boast and yell, trying to get the squeaky wheel greased.  Hamas and the PLO are the same figurines, with different noses—no more than that; interchangeable.  Recently they used women as shields, thus, they became warriors for Hamas, which is fair in war, you use what you can (I’m an old Vietnam Veteran, and this is fine with me); but then they must remember, the women killed are no more than war veterans, as in any war, and subject to dying for a cause, so let’s not make this in to anymore than what it is, as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas would like it to be. And evidently, the mosque is no more sacred to the Muslim fighter than a mouse trap, and so one can not expect Israel to honor it anymore than the Arab does: that when killers hid inside, or soldiers and fire bullets from the Mosque, the Mosque becomes a fortress for war, and the enemy and the mosque must be dealt with: so let’s not get into what is holy and not holy in this war, especially in fighting, there is nothing sacred I see; nor are colleges sacred, as the POL has already proven by killing American students, nor hospitals. So I say, let the war go on, and no rules banned, it is better that way, then we don’t get confused who is the bad guy and the good guy.

I keep seeing and hearing, the President of Iran [President Ahmadinejad] boasting on how he’d like to destroy Israel. And should he get the chance I’m sure he’d put his country in danger in trying to do it, ignoring the widespread damage it would cause to his country.  He promotes the satire of depicting dead bodies of Jews at Auschwitz, and rewards the artist with $12,000.   For the most part, his countrymen are looking the other way, as are all the Muslim countries.  I see with the Pope, who said only a few words against the Moslems, caused an uproar, so I can imagine how the Jews feel, or should feel with such direct insults.  Perhaps the Muslims will not wake up in time to stop this escalation, but they better hope the artists in Israel don’t start drawing pictures of the after results of Israel hitting Tehran with a few of their nukes, and they have them to spare; they’ve hit them before, and it was no trouble, and they do have a plan B, for such an event.  Anyhow, should an artist draw a few pictures of the aftermath, it may cement in them, it’s a two way street, not a one-way highway, as they’d like it to be.  There is room for everybody on this planet to live, if indeed, they cared about their so called brothers, the Palestinians whom they use for their hate machine against the Jews, they might share with them a tiny piece of land so they can have a nation, instead of watching them from their TV sets, taking handouts. Perhaps Israel should start an art program equal to theirs, and give a reward for the best picture (as they have) of a city destroyed, and his little castle; and then let’s look at their response.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116250511593573050?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116250511593573050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116250511593573050' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116250511593573050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116250511593573050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/11/iran-insults-israel-again.html' title='Iran Insults Israel Again'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116240404666137473</id><published>2006-11-01T09:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-01T10:00:46.676-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kerry vs. Statement of Arrogance</title><content type='html'>Kerry vs. Statement of Arrogance&lt;br /&gt;To American Soldiers in Iraq&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It never fails, when one person says something wrong, or I suppose, not too smart, as did Kerry recently with the statement he said he got wrong, read wrong, memorized wrong, and said wrong, now he blames this person and that person, we often reach out to blame whomever we can find, to distract ones responsibility.  He said what he said, but he may not have meant what he said.  Too many people want perfect statements, and you can’t read them, if you want to look smart, you got to memorize them, and talk slow, to insure they come out correct.  No matter what, he said an insulting thing to educated troops.  I have, like him, spent time in Vietnam, and I presume more time, from what I’ve read about his Vietnam experience.  Thus, I have a right, like him to say what I want to say.  He bashes Bush for not spending time in a war zone, inferring I believe he should have the right to say what he wants. It is not hard to figure out: "If you don't (get smart), you get stuck in Iraq." That is what he said.  It was true for Vietnam, if you were not in college, you’d end up most likely in Vietnam (in my day), and so many kids ran to college, or if you were Married before 1966, or in 1965, you would not have to go, if I remember right.  But it is not the way life is now, anymore.   The truth of the matter is, he is acting like Bush, arrogant and unbecoming.   And for the troops, he should realize, if indeed he was a true and good soldier, you go on missions, like it or not, it is the way the Army is, I spent 11-years in it.  If you don’t like the mission leave, or go AWOL, you have choices.  You don’t go against your values, or I don’t; the same, you don’t go against, your religious principles (usually), if you are really true to them in the first place.  No soldier in Iraq can complain, they are on a mission, and I’m sure, feel the same.  If you joined the Army to cheat them out of a free education, and some lazy time over in Germany, you got a rude awakening, it is not the way life is, and in the Army, you find that out.  I went to Vietnam, perhaps young a foolish, but I believed in the cause, if I had not, I’d have went to Canada I suppose.  So yes, if Kerry is a true soldier, and loves his country as he says he has, or does, he needs to stand up like a man, like a soldier and ask for forgiveness, or go to Canada, or live with what he said, and get pounded by the press; he has choices also, even Canada.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116240404666137473?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116240404666137473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116240404666137473' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116240404666137473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116240404666137473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/11/kerry-vs-statement-of-arrogance.html' title='Kerry vs. Statement of Arrogance'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116188061061744435</id><published>2006-10-26T09:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-26T09:36:50.636-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shek Taj Aldin Al Hilali  [Foolish Wisdom]</title><content type='html'>Shek Taj Aldin Al Hilali &lt;br /&gt;[Foolish Wisdom]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not style or structure that sells books, or movies; it is the nature of the beast, the nature of man—for the most part. Yes, style and structure help, I admit, but the imagination plays a big roll in all this, and man’s mind can (with human nature) create a vatic for his next move.  Jesus Christ even implied by saying: I may trust man (or may want to) but not his nature.  He was saying something none of us, nowadays, want to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don’t kick a man out of a country for saying what he thinks, usually, not in America anyhow (and I didn’t think they did in Australia), or else you’d have no taxpayers.  The Shei, foolish as he may have been to put his statements in such a way (implying women are like meat, and mean like cats), he made his voice heard, as he wanted to.  Had he said it any other way, it would not have made international news—its called sensationalism.  What he said was perhaps one of the few truths I’ve heard an Islamic clergy say, say it wrong he did, he did not have to insult half the world.  But when you put on tight pants, and prance around the park you get what your looking for, eyes on you.  You’re not looking for rape, I grant you that, but you may get it if you trigger the nature in the beast of man.  That is called life, reality in the raw.  We have other triggers in life we don’t quite understand them, but they are there (even the rabbi has them, that is why when they talk privately to a woman, there are two, not one; each insuring they do not do what nature may want them to do). Another example might be, such as North Korea’s ambition to be a Nuclear Power, put the nature in the beast, you get a pygmy of a leader, who gets mad, and wants to be equal to Bush, envy, and jealousy seep in (and any country with 25-million tax paying citizens, who is getting assistance from the UN for food, est., with time and ambition, can produce ((as we have seen)) the nuke): President Bush needs a to learn in human nature we don’t provoke:  Hannibal, the great warrior fought Rome out of spite that was planted by his father: he didn’t hate Rome, otherwise he would have destroyed it, he just didn’t like their arrogance; he wanted to push their face in the sand, and he did; as North Korea may wish to now to listen to human nature, they could trigger something they would not like; and rape can come in many forms.&lt;br /&gt;       Anyhow, there is such a thing called: rights with responsibilities.  You may have the right to run around naked, but I’d think twice: where am I, and who might be looking, and add to that, what is the potential harm in it, to me!&lt;br /&gt; The Sheik used cats and meat and keeping women in houses, and veils, and so forth and on to harness this nature in man.  I don’t think we need to go back to the Stone Age, unless his kind is that aggressive, but let’s hope we can go on living, with just a few disruptions, or modifications. It is nice to see the figures of young women, and older women, and so forth and on, and no need to hide their faces, but we need to know when to stop, it is called discipline, women nowadays have of this, and they say often: no limits, or think they don’t need them, and get raped because of them, and mans nature, and I think many of them can be prevented; but then that is my opinion, I hope I don’t get kicked out of the USA for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116188061061744435?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116188061061744435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116188061061744435' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116188061061744435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116188061061744435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/10/shek-taj-aldin-al-hilali-foolish.html' title='Shek Taj Aldin Al Hilali  [Foolish Wisdom]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116156062248726446</id><published>2006-10-22T16:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-22T16:43:42.500-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Real Estate: fast money/but hard work and long hours</title><content type='html'>I was in the rental business for seven-years, made 1.3 million dollars the first five years, got ill, and had to get out of it slowly, but had the money to do it. I could have made five million had I stayed in another five years. But my point in is this: I watch TV, on all these quick ways to make money, and people really belief this crap. I mean, I owned seven buildings, but I worked 24/7. Ended up in court a dozen times; fought with the State over this and that. I mean, you don’t get it for nothing like these TV fantasy folks would have you belief. Just buy this and that and don’t invest, and you’ll make it. First of all you need credit. Second, if you don’t have $20,000-in the bank, if a furnace goes out, or your gas pipes go out, or whatever, who is going to pay for it? What can happen, will happen; the fantasy people forget to add that little equation into the formula. &lt;br /&gt;But why do people fall into this group? I thought about it, and being a licensed counselor, I met a lot of people who fell into this gap. I call it the fantasy gap. Everyone herds to them like wild geese. These TV folks tap into your fantasies. Easy to do, even Hitler said: “It is easier to fool the masses than the few.” He also was tapping into human nature. That is where the fantasy festers. Make a romance for them, and quick to the fantasy, and find the needy, shake it up, and you got your clan. &lt;br /&gt;What some people do is create a reputation, and then live on the momentum it has. For instance, I could go around saying: look at me, what I made from rental property. I can show you how to do it. Buy my book, and so forth and so on. And when you review my background you will say: yup, he has what he says he has. Now I got you buying my book, and I look good from my reputation, and I did make the money. But the fantasy is: you can have the gold for simple minerals, like an alchemist would have you believe. Not much work involved, just sign your name, and claim the goods. It is not like that. &lt;br /&gt;A confirmed reputation, and now I got your money to show you I got wealth. Many of us fall stupidly into money needs, and think a miracle will happen. That is not the way it works. You cannot cajole the devil and expect to come out on top. If you fell into bankruptcy, it is because of your mismanagement of your money, it is as simple as that. &lt;br /&gt;These phony goofballs on TV, do not demand the truth, as I am doing, reality is not prepared to pay the handsome price they want, truth is not part of the fantasy, lies are the fantasy, nor will it draw you to them to buy what they are selling. But gold that is made from sand will catch your attention. Like the man says on TV, jus sign your name here, and you’ll make $30,000 in 30-days. If that was the case, what’s he selling books for.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116156062248726446?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116156062248726446/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116156062248726446' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116156062248726446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116156062248726446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/10/real-estate-fast-moneybut-hard-work.html' title='Real Estate: fast money/but hard work and long hours'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-116155669596318208</id><published>2006-10-22T15:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-22T15:38:15.980-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Unborn [cloning]</title><content type='html'>The Unborn&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all this cloning in the news one can’t help but to treat himself to the human embryo side of the moon, I mean: womb; it’s just brings me back to old news days 20 to 25-years ago. Not sure how far we’ve come, where we are going, and for the most part, where we are. And like most people you take a stand, be it black, white for gray. And as I indicated in my last article, or one of them, I’m a bit confused on the whole subject. And this is what I think the majority on the left wants; confusion makes you produce doubt, and they all like to play with our doubts do they not; for their betterment, and not for our best interest of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I did a here and now article a few days ago in the Cloning area, maybe I can find some loose threads of the past to weave into my web. I think we’ve all been told, though mostly overlooked for convenience, six week old fetus’ have human faces, formulated; as it may be termed: germination has taken place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I remember when embryos as young as 4-weeks old were of top news, old crap now. And simply because the embryos float around like mini-fish in the watery void of its mother’s womb, lidless eyes you might add, or unblinking, and it only being an inch-long or thereabouts, but it just is waiting for the paramount growth process, which is simply weeks away, somewhere around 6 to 8 weeks. But of course this is not touched on much now days, is it? And for good reason: we live in an emotional body, and our system cannot take such reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I go on, I will be a little hypocritical: if stem cell research could prolong my life (and it was offered) I’d tell the doctor next door, shoot the serum in me, or the operation. On the other hand, would I vote for my tax money to be spent in this area on research and development? No more than the one-sided abortion clinics. If the doctor said, “I could have saved your life had you allowed stem cell research to continue (cloning research progress in essence),” I’d so, well, that is life, if it’s time to go, it’s fine with me, we all die, some sooner and some later, this is a well understood fact, we just don’t think about it today, put it off for tomorrow, then we are laying in the hospital bed, at 70 or 80 or 90 saying: I’m actually here, I’m old. But old people die; it is how it was planned. If we want to live longer, stop the wars, poverty and thievery. So I’m not too hypocritical, just logical, and faith bound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few abortions are terminated because of abnormalities of the embryo development, not sure if this should be linked to my article, but it seems to float right into my neurological system, or is it psychological makeup, so easily. Anyhow, thus, pregnancies are terminated; I call it one life for another, or perhaps, too much work thereafter. Right or wrong, the health issue is a strong one, as is stem cell research, both dealing with prolonging life physically and/or psychologically (and perhaps a longer visit with our loved ones). But if you don’t have it together with them now, you will always be on the ‘too late,’ side).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I do believe we are not the Rhesus monkey, although primate research may think so. So I see on the horizon the gates being opened to health science more as we fall down the spaghettlike-tubs, which will be the judges of the future, who will determine our destiny.

I’ve been asked the question by students from Radio Stations in Huancayo, to University Students at Saint Martin, in Lima. I think they want to do what is right, they need leadership, and they are influenced by adult actions, expectations, but what is right and wrong?  A simple question, with many variables for them, I do believe.  Let me give you an example:&lt;br /&gt;       The taxi, in Lima or the Andean city of Huancayo, there are many of them, and many have holy items in their taxis; perhaps hoping the saints will keep them safe, while at the same time speeding through town, and running over pedestrians; not purposely of course, but if you don’t move, you could be crippled or killed, or maimed somehow. I don’t believe the question comes up enough: who has the right away.  Or perhaps, no one cares.  In most cities the pedestrians do, in Peru, it’s in the air.  Thus, every traffic rule is broken, or the police are paid off to be quiet: the justification for the police is: we don’t make much money.  The question is: what is wrong with bribing, it helps pay the police.  If you’ve worked for the police for over ten years, you might be making 900 soles a month, less than $300-dollars. Not a lot of money in any country. But is it justification, and the right thing to do, to show your youth?&lt;br /&gt;       Everyone, or most everyone knows, Peru is a Christian society, and mostly Catholic, and you will see the churches filled on Sunday, and on Monday, some of those same folks will be searching out the parks to still a bag, and think it was fate that brought them to that moment.  And this is what the youth see on a large scale.&lt;br /&gt;       In many of the parks young females rent babies to carry around, and/or kids, holding their hands, and they walk the streets begging for money from the tourists.  There are many now, tourists and beggars, much more than there were several years ago when I first came to Peru. When asked why they are not working, they insult you, curse you, and stick their noses in the air as if you owed them a free ride.  This is learned behaviour, and reinforced by the same society that condemns it.&lt;br /&gt;       So what do I say to a youth from collage or radio station that wants an honest statement from you, for them?  I mean they already feel caught in-between.  I can tell them (and I have) Peru is the most beautiful country in South America, and   its culture is excellent, and that they have the best food in the world, and the Mantaro Valley has the best weather in the world, and it is an ideal place to retire financially, but that is not exactly what they want to hear.  So what can I tell them, perhaps a simple statement will do: You are not tied to anyone, do what is right, and things will change.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-116153119102212415?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/116153119102212415/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=116153119102212415' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116153119102212415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/116153119102212415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/10/youth-of-peru-confused-or-torn.html' title='The Youth of Peru (Confused or Torn?)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115845314980471853</id><published>2006-09-16T17:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-16T17:32:29.826-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Pope has No Hair on His Tongue</title><content type='html'>The Pope (Pope Benedict XVI) says what he has to say, that is what I call my kind of Pope, like it or not. If the truth hurts, so be it.  As I wrote in my book some years back (“In Search of Satan’s Rib”) to know the mind of the Muslim, you got to know his God (or for anyone that might be wise), and the Muslim God is not   my God, thank God: as Christ said, “Go to your father Satan… (And I think, had He been living today he would be pointing to the Muslim religion).” The truth of the matter is, as the Pope expressed: that Muslims spread their religion by violence. We all know this to be true, lest one is blind: the vengeance for not following the Muslim faith can be felt from Paris to Bali, throughout the Middle East, and North America. They have no love for the Christian, or for the Jew. They quote one thing and do another.  If you are trying to win the hearts of the world, you don’t go shopping for the biggest chains around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his speech, the pope quoted 14th-century Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus who said: "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."  One has to ask the question, is this not true today?  It would seem if I wanted my head on my neck, and I was surrounded by Muslims, I best join the faith. Even Hitler knew this kind of breeding faithful followers was of no value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old texts claim Islam is "evil and inhuman," this also sparked a flame in the Muslims bonnet when brought out recently. For some odd reason, Islam thinks their God, and the Christian God are the same, and they got this message from thy God that he will be pleased with more blood.  This is the message, and the Muslim feels the west just doesn’t understand.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115845314980471853?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115845314980471853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115845314980471853' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115845314980471853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115845314980471853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/09/pope-has-no-hair-on-his-tongue.html' title='The Pope has No Hair on His Tongue'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115800077622038456</id><published>2006-09-11T11:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-11T11:52:56.233-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Messge for Al Qaeda and Ayman al-Zawahiri from Allah</title><content type='html'>Messge for Al Qaeda and Ayman al-Zawahiri from Allah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For  Ayman al-Zawahiri,  and his  Qaeda  Muslims, and the counties that pay tribute to them: such as Iran, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, est., and all the rest of the supporting countries.

Your videos simply your scorn me, and will be your testimony on judgment day, and I do not teach hate, but I will have my revenge on you. Had it not been for the young and innocent infants, I would have had you destroyed long ago by the United States, and its allies, it is not against my will to see you all of you dirty camel eaters, destroyed by fire, and it will happen soon. But those you least expect.  Your websites offend me, and you make me out as your puppet, one you can hide behind doing your dirty work in my name.  If you were destroyed it would better for you, than to face me when you die.  Your Paradise is simply a robber trying to sell goods to foolish people willing to buy, for self interests.

He told a press conference in Jeddah that both sides had agreed for the U.N. (for him in particular) to negotiate between them on the issue of the two soldiers, captured by the terrorist group Hezbollah; this is a man who is responsible for more deaths than Pol Pot of Cambodia, and Israel needs to look deep into the Arabic translation of any comments, or any deal Annan proposes. As this process goes on the devils helper will of course facilitate working between the two sides, and we know what side he will be on, and it isn’t Israel (if Annan was on Israel’s side, why then can’t they drink at the same fountains everyone else does at the UN in NYC; an Annan policy).  The only reason Annan is involved is because Israel kicked the crap out of the terrorist group, and Annan does not want them demolished.  I can just wonder who the mediator will be, and in whose interest he will serve.  The truce will never hold, and it only allows Lebanon time for its terrorist elements to regroup and rearm, and hit America next. &lt;br /&gt;As always Annan is using the U.N. chief's 11-day tour of the Middle East  to play the hero for getting all sides to implement, support the U.N. cease-fire resolution, when in essence, it was the work of the US and Bush who originally stepped in to mold the resolution, and bring about the ceasefire, with their friends the Israel’s; had it not been, Lebanon and its gang of thieves, would be underground like moles eating rat food.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115740962010505020?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115740962010505020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115740962010505020' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115740962010505020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115740962010505020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/09/devils-helper-is-at-it-again-annan-9-4.html' title='The Devil’s Helper is at it again (Annan)) 9-4-2006)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115687311848014508</id><published>2006-08-29T10:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-29T10:38:38.496-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Lebanon not one American Dime</title><content type='html'>Lebanon not one American Dime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annan, the GS of the UN wants American Taxpayers to give free out of their hearts to the terrorist country, and the terrorist group Hezbollah's a billion dollars to reconstruct their cities.  This is a job for Iran and Syria, since they supplied Hezbollah’s with weapons.  I would be like the UN has been to the US on Iraq, give them nothing, not one time to build an outhouse.  Nor would I send one American soldier over there, just like France and Germany, let them do the dirty work, since they supported Hezbollah.  The UN and France and the Middle East have this idea they can do and say what they want, and still have their begging hands out for a buck from the American public.  This is one tax payer that is tired of it.  Annan is the closest thing I can think of to the Antichrist’s assistant. And whatever is going on in that mind of his is not good for America. Annan says: the challenge was for the United States and countries in the region, including Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, to give Lebanon's government enough money to match this.  I am not sure why he includes Kuwait and the United States, perhaps Saudi Arabia, since they have supported terrorist all along, but other than that, let the weapons supplies—supply the rebuilding material also, that sounds logical to me.  Annan is nothing but a frog in the middle of a pond trying to be the center of attraction, eating all the insects as they fly around him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115687311848014508?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115687311848014508/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115687311848014508' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115687311848014508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115687311848014508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/lebanon-not-one-american-dime.html' title='Lebanon not one American Dime'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115687239714175304</id><published>2006-08-29T10:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-29T10:26:37.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad</title><content type='html'>The Devil Hides its Horns: &lt;br /&gt;Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tehran’s Ahmadinejad blames the world’s problems on the United States and Britain, when the world knows its problems are really Islam and its philosophy, to force the world to its way of thinking: by force, cutting heads off, kidnapping and having them kiss the Koran at gun point.  Why Bush or Israel has not bombed or intervened into Iran is beyond reason. There is nothing peaceful about Iran except its infants. The Ahmadinejad wants a debate, about what I’m not sure of, perhaps to nuke Israel during the summit, or debate.  The UN as usual useless as a tool for peace, is again coming to its deadline they put on Iran, which really doesn’t mean too much, they will skip over it I expect, and any peaceful solution, better put, they most likely will go for short term peace, at the unthinkable long term goal that brings no peace, and thus, vote for WWIII, in the not so far future.  They have a way of averting the truth, and only at the US´s expenses can we maintain peace in the here and now and future. The hateful warmonger, states, Ahmadinejad: "nobody can prevent" Iran from its right to a "peaceful, nuclear program."  Somehow, he thinks just like a terrorist, that the world is dumb, and no one will dare bark back at their real intentions, and we all know them, which is to get the atomic bomb, and nuke any and every thing that gets in its way; perhaps even for a parking ticket.  It is time to stop playing games, and send over a few of those 2000-pound bombs, right over Tehran; and save one for Damascus. Russia and China are not much different, we will have to fight them sooner or later, and they want Iran to be a nuclear power in the Middle East, so we can’t count on them for much except to rob the piggy bank, when possible. They want all the west has to offer, at our expense, and especially China wants Iranian oil.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115687239714175304?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115687239714175304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115687239714175304' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115687239714175304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115687239714175304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/iranian-president-mahmoud-ahmadinejad.html' title='Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115566915724796342</id><published>2006-08-15T12:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-15T12:12:37.263-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel Half Victorious (An Opinion)) Part of WWIII))</title><content type='html'>Israel Half Victorious &lt;br /&gt;(An Opinion)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do hope Israel next time (and we all know there will be a next time), cleans house with Lebanon, does not leave the roots unbroken,  they have to learn world opinion will not save their souls, and Iran and Syria will not stop providing armaments to Lebanon and its  corrupt government. There is logic in the reasoning of why Lebanon, Iran and Syria lie to the world, it is like any liar, they have to, a lie says: I don’t feel safe. The war should have gone on for another 30-days, this will only allow the enemy to regroup.  Being half victorious is like winning 2nd place, and leaving 1st place open for future time, an armistice, and we can see what they do, just look at North Korea now blackmailing the world, or Germany in WWI, which the armistice, led to WWII, and Korea will soon have their May Day.  In the long run, it is a matter of saving lives, in the short run; it is of course, giving up a few more. Anyhow, time will tell.  The United Nations saved the day for Lebanon; they did Israel no favors, like the world. Had not the USA stepped in to stop the flyovers, slowly but surely, the roots would have been torn out of the terrorist group.  It was a good time for Israel to hit Damascus and Tehran also, knocks out three birds with one war, save the world a lot of terrorism in the future.  If anything, we owe the Israel government our thanks, for a job half done, and perhaps for saving a lot of lives in the future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115566915724796342?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115566915724796342/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115566915724796342' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115566915724796342'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115566915724796342'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/israel-half-victorious-opinion-part-of.html' title='Israel Half Victorious (An Opinion)) Part of WWIII))'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115479484985239100</id><published>2006-08-05T09:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-05T09:20:49.863-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cowards: Syria and Iran: while Lebanon does the Dirty Work</title><content type='html'>Cowards: Syria and Iran: while Lebanon does the Dirty Work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Day 25-War with Israel]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You spend wherever your heart is; what you love most is where it goes both Iran and Syria are cowards to face Israel on, face to face so they hid behind the people of Lebanon, and let them do the suffering. Allah must be proud of you, unless he told you to do it, then I’d question Allah.  These two countries have no blood in their face, and deserve every once of destruction that may befall them, and I think they will have their day.  I don’t care for the terrorist group they all support in Lebanon, but they got more guts than they.  It reminds me of Saddam’s sons dying in the heat of battle, and Saddam when captured, scared like a new pup of his impending doom, now he is brave again in the court room, another coward facing his due.  We have a lot of them over in the Middle East nowadays. Israel and Hezbollah in battle, Israel must not accept any peace until Hezbollah is whipped off the face of the earth, lest they want to wait for Syria to rearm them, and this old scenario start up again.  I’d tell the French and UN to take a hike.  Any premature agreement will fall apart like paper tissue thrown in the ocean. The UN does not want peace; they want to allow the enemy to be rearmed by the cowards.  The Arabs already run France, and most of the UN, now they want England, America and Israel. Should Israel walk away from this fight, it will look like Hezbollah has teeth Israel cannot pull.  It will not look good. And the cowards may become  brave.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115479484985239100?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115479484985239100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115479484985239100' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115479484985239100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115479484985239100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/cowards-syria-and-iran-while-lebanon.html' title='Cowards: Syria and Iran: while Lebanon does the Dirty Work'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115465214129787737</id><published>2006-08-03T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-03T17:42:21.306-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cuba: Democracy or Hypocrisy?

Bush’s Voice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For over forty years I have watched this scene between America and Cuba unfold, not sure what it is all about, nor does our president, but in the deep echoes of the well, it is Democracy mixed with Hypocrisy for sure, we want to force feed them. I’ve never quite understood Bush’s view on this besides getting the Latin vote in Miami, I mean it is not really about region change, or Democracy is it? I’ve heard it is the second country left under Communism. It well may be, I’ve been in Cuba, and I’ve been in Cambodia, which is supposed to be the second country, and Cuba seems to have their share of freedom, I wasn’t stopped in either country from wandering about. &lt;br /&gt;       We talk about free elections, and thus freedom as harming such countries, and put up embargoes for Cuba, yet Vietnam [a real enemy] North Korea [a real threat], Saudi Arabia [a double-faced friend], Jordan and Pakistan [leaches trying to suck all the blood out of America they can], China and Venezuela [both growing threats, one with oil we need the other with trade we want, and half a dozen more countries have dictatorships we are doing business with, we have not set up any embargoes against; Syria, Iran should have embargoes but where are they in the picture, supplying weapons to or friend’s enemy—Lebanon, to kill more Jews.  &lt;br /&gt;       In essence, we are wishing Castro death, when he’s done nothing wrong to America, and to be honest, we’ve done more harm to them good folks in Cuba, in 40-years, than Castro has to his people; we are not a very good example by far—no blood in the face, and being a Warrior Christian, I take on glory in pushing Cuba around like a dog to have the bark for their dinner, we are no better than Castro.

And if Russia or China said that to the USA, I would expect them to secure their boarders as well.  So all this talk at the UN with France, and the EU over a premature ceasefire before the area is secured, is silly.  In the middle of a heart transplant, you don’t stop for a coffee break, and if you did, you’re just setting yourself up for disaster, as France and the UN, and the EU would love Israel to do, and Israel knows these Jew haters would like to see them drop to the ground: not sure what the Jews did to France, they got everyone else over there, Arab’s especially burring up there city a few months ago, and they’ve yet to find a way to pacify them.  I think Israel is getting rid of the trash, let them continue, and if it takes until Christmas, so be it. Hamas is no different than the two birds I’ve just mentioned, the sooner you get rid of them, and the better off humanity will be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115462163008629596?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115462163008629596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115462163008629596' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115462163008629596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115462163008629596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/president-mahmoud-ahmadinejad-of-iran.html' title='President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran [Vs Israel]: This is not a Ball Game!'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115448640191672839</id><published>2006-08-01T19:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-01T19:40:01.930-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel and Lebanon: Fight to the Death</title><content type='html'>Israel: Iran and Lebanon: a one-sided Affair [8/1/2006]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get what you pay for.  Syria and Iran applaud Lebanon’s capturing of the two Jews, that started this conflict, whom will not let them go, and their attacking Israel with rockets, and then on the other hand they cry because the Jewish Nations retaliates, and is kicking ass royally. You can’t have your cake and eat it to.  It is one way or the other.  If you want peace, you seek it, if you want war, you keep the Jews, and rocket the boarder, simple as baking a pie, yet these Arab souls cannot understand the simplicity of this. Perhaps it is because they do not want peace, and then you get what you want, war.  What do they expect?  Iran runs to the UN and cry’s wolf [while they are handing out weapons to the terrorists to fight another day; hypercritic; the other fact is, Israel fights like they do; evil likes to have the edge but with the Jews, they have to fight fire with fire; the west should take a lesson here. I see also, that only 30-rockets hit Israel today, when I been counting one hundred plus, each day by the good ol’ fellows across the boarder; it tells me they are losing the battles, and the war, or better put, as they say in Peru, the goat and the rope, serves them right. They also say [Iran in particular] that Israel and the US and England are partners; they are right, so what, Hezbollah is partners with Russia, China, Syria and Iran; again they want the cake and eat to,  a one-sided affair.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115448640191672839?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115448640191672839/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115448640191672839' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115448640191672839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115448640191672839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/08/israel-and-lebanon-fight-to-death.html' title='Israel and Lebanon: Fight to the Death'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115436865617654816</id><published>2006-07-31T10:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-31T10:57:36.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Smart Israel, back on Attack [7/31/2006]</title><content type='html'>Smart Israel, back on Attack [7/31/2006]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The needs to end, when the war is won, not when the UN feels the terrorist group needs a rest…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking that was a dumb move for Israel to go on a ceasefire for 48-hours, then when I went to bed I had a feeling they were throwing out a canopy—or smoke screen, and yes, back to war they went, a smart thing, they caught the enemy with their pants down. That’s what I would have done anyhow. You don’t fight a war according to UN policy, or anyone’s policy, you fight to win; just like the enemy.  The quicker the west learns that, the better off we’ll all be. Lebanon-based Hezbollah militia thought they were going to have a holiday, sorry folks, not anymore.  The war they started they will have to deal with. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert may be worth his salt.  The UN stopped the peacekeeping force in Lebanon, also a smart idea, it does no one any good anyhow, they can’t stop the war, and no one sees them as a threat. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan cannot get his killing completed now on the Jews.  He wanted to save the lives of the terrorist so they could have another day of killing, sorry Mr. Annan, not today.  I think Israel is saying: I can lie just as good as everyone else, or have a pretence as the UN and Hezbollah, I mean, if your going to play the game, let’s all go by ‘no rules bared,’ concept, not just rules for Israel, as Annan would have it, as the Arabs laugh at as if they’ve really won the war; I get the feeling, they will get another defeat soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115436865617654816?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115436865617654816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115436865617654816' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115436865617654816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115436865617654816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/smart-israel-back-on-attack-7312006.html' title='Smart Israel, back on Attack [7/31/2006]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115430076377908252</id><published>2006-07-30T16:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-30T16:06:03.786-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hazbollah’s Qana Charade</title><content type='html'>Hazbollah’s Qana Charade&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See it for what it is:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Let’s get back to the war Israel]  When Hezbollah put there soldiers, bombs and rocket launching equipment next to building, inside building, mosques, and homes, it is only obvious, they do not care if they kill their own kind, and it can’t be allowed to stop a war because they do not want to play by the rules.  Annan is the biggest, murder of them all, and the last man I’d take advise from. It is sad what happened in Qana, but it is even sadder that such people like Annan can’t see through his glasses straight where the rockets are being hid.  What good are the observers over in Lebanon, when they are not observing anything but Jewish rockets hitting targets, the UN don’t want them to hit.  After 19-days of fighting, this should get the message to them, the US is alert to this, and so is England, but France, the UN, EU are not.  I doubt Russia and China give a shit that kills who over there.&lt;br /&gt;       I really do think Annan is a terrorist himself, and we need to condemn him for his ignorance; he says he is deeply dismayed. Over what?  His terrorist group getting their Asses kicked.  He’s half the problem.  The UN could run much better without this Antichrist at the helm.&lt;br /&gt;       I suggest Israel stop the 48-hour ceasefire early, and get back to business, before the world body gets sympathetic for the terrorist again, and scorn worse the victories of Israel.  The people of Qana were warned so my guess is, the families that stayed behind, or anybody that stayed behind (and perhaps the Terrorist would not allow the families to go) wanted to, and they got the response they expected, the world body to shoult loud and clear at Israel, it is how they fight.  If I were sitting on a toilet full of dynamite, and someone called me to get my ass moving because you are now in a war zone, I’d ask which way and be go, and be gone, and if I got no answer, I’d be gone anyhow.  &lt;br /&gt;       It is obvious also, that Hezbollah, chose this site long ago, for this very reason, that when attacked, this was bound to take place, thus, endangering civilians, which they could care less about; I am not surprised Hezbollah is not getting any of the blame, it is all a charade.   Hezbollah has turned that town into a war zone, and again Annan as usual, can see the trees in front of the forest.  Syria and Iran should pay the price for arming this terrorist, Hezbollah. To be quite honest, this is old news, ten years ago; blood was shed in this area.&lt;br /&gt;       During their grieving, and 48-hour ceasefire, Hezbollah, has shout close to 140-rockets into Israel, but Annan of the UN, has not said anything about that, why?  The Lebanese are reacting to the airstricks on their country; too bad they don’t react to the Hezbollah whom are using their country  for the crusade.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115430076377908252?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115430076377908252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115430076377908252' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115430076377908252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115430076377908252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/hazbollahs-qana-charade.html' title='Hazbollah’s Qana Charade'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115423148443653233</id><published>2006-07-29T20:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-29T20:51:24.443-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Logic for an illogical war: Lebanon vs. Israel</title><content type='html'>Logic for an illogical war: &lt;br /&gt;Lebanon vs. Israel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lebanon is boasting Israel can’t win the war, and therefore why make concessions; I suppose the best thing to do is drop more bombs, if that is the way they feel, until there is no one lift, and then boast over some street in Damascus, where it all started. I do know this: last week they were shooting 80-rockets a day into Israel, and a week before that 110, and now 39-a day, so Lebanon is not as healthy military wise, as they were a few weeks ago.  &lt;br /&gt;       Why the UN wants Israel to stand down before victory is claimed haunts me, normally you shoot for victory, and then talk. Every week, the foe boast less and less, and the UN, cringes that Israel might walk away proud, and god forbade they should do that.   &lt;br /&gt;       CNN, for once is showing two sides of the war, perhaps they’ve come to the conclusion, better journalism requires reporting of the whole story, not one sided propaganda, we get enough of that.&lt;br /&gt;       My suggest for the UN observation posts, is to leave the country until after the war; they only report one side of the fighting, and that is the enemies side, so one can’t blame Israel, if indeed they are targeting UN posts.  One of the reasons there is a war in Lebanon today, is because the UN’s peacekeeping force, could not, or would not, keep peace, all those years, Hezbollah was shooting rockets over the boarder from Lebanon, into Israel. Had they done their job right, they wouldn’t have to be trying to broker a peace deal that they know, and we know, they can’t keep anyhow. My suggestion is, let them fight it out, and if they get wiped, the entire world will benefit for it.  Save us Americans a lot of effort doing it ourselves.   &lt;br /&gt;       Another point is, if you really want a peace, you disarm, and Hezbollah specifically will not agree to that.  They would although like time to rearm I’m sure, and is hoping for the UN to get it for them.&lt;br /&gt;       Hezbollah has not stepped back, they have used larger bombs, with a longer range, thus, expanding the war (in fear they may lose the war I suppose, they really didn’t want the Jews to know they had them but when push comes to shove, they just couldn’t help but use them big Syrian bombs now could they), and a good lesson for Israel, that should they stop now, you can imagine what Hezbollah has in store for them later, or had in store for them, with their new bombs.  &lt;br /&gt;       You don’t need a ceasefire, there are ways to get in and out of the fighting zones, Israel has allowed a road for that, so the UN is full of crap, and wants Israel to silence their guns, so Syria can rearm, Hezbollah.  Perhaps, Israel should take on Syria and stop the channeling of the weapons into the hands of Hezbollah: faze II of the war.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115423148443653233?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115423148443653233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115423148443653233' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115423148443653233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115423148443653233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/logic-for-illogical-war-lebanon-vs.html' title='Logic for an illogical war: Lebanon vs. Israel'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115422143827083613</id><published>2006-07-29T18:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-29T18:03:58.276-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Watching Death</title><content type='html'>Like it or not, we think in line with our customs and tradition often times, right down to the level of how we think of death, or about death. I was a licensed counselor for many years, and the issue came up a few times, and I was sad at its results, to hear Americas shamefully trying to avoid talking about it. But let me put that aside and finish the article. Yes customs and traditions set down; do play a big part in how we view death. Death being a normal and natural thing; we mimic our parents and our TV heroes, and how they portray death. Why so much gloom out there on death [?] It has been around for a long time, as long as I’ve been around anyhow, fifty-seven years. It is often a taboo subject to talk bout it in certain places. But you can see a lot of books on the subject; more than I can count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live in Minnesota, and Peru, and I have traveled much through Mexico, Central America, and South America. The Maya, the Inca and the Aztecs took dying as a preparation period, along with rituals to be put into place; when they knew it was near; my mother was much like them. She told me about her preparing for death, three years before she died at 83, in 2003. She was looking death into its face. And just before she died she said, “I’m ready, I’m alright with it, let me go.” I was sad, but being sad only says we had good times together, that is what brought my tears, no more times. Selfish in a way; also, my mother left me with some fine last words, something TV never leaves out and parents that do not allow their children to see their dying grandparents, and so forth; on TV, or at the movies, all one can find are grunts for their disappearing heroes. That is not life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People fear to talk about death, as if it was a storm out of control, brewing just for them. Death is seldom viewed by children in America (as I previously implied), as if it was a private affair. I seen my mother in the hospital 26-times in 23-days, when she was dying; and she was laughing and joking in her death bed. I am grateful for that time. It is a choice I feel, and I’m glad I had the deciding vote. I believe children should be allowed to visit and see their grandparents on their dying beds, should they so wish to, and even pushed a bit to do so. My son’s daughter saw her grandmother while she was dying in the hospital, and started crying, she was but a child. But what I feel she will remember is not her crying, but her great-grandmother’s smiling, for that was the last picture she saw of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps death is too much like hell for Americans, because most people I talk to think everyone is going to heaven, and thus, hell no longer exists. Be that as it may, hell and death seem to be connected; as my mother used to say, “Dennis, why does everyone think they’re going to heaven.” I couldn’t answer that, but now I can, hell is too close to death, and death is their nemeses.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115422143827083613?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115422143827083613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115422143827083613' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115422143827083613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115422143827083613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/watching-death.html' title='Watching Death'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115414403589049079</id><published>2006-07-28T20:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-28T20:33:55.896-07:00</updated><title type='text'>American’s Going to Peru</title><content type='html'>I am happy that Peru has so much tourism lately; when I started coming here—seven years ago (now my 9th time), it was one plane load at a time descending at the airport in Lima, now there are three or four, within a matter of minutes; coming in from Texas, Florida and George (not to mention Europe).   Peruvians love Americans, but I fear the Americans are starting to be quite rude, belligerent, and down right pigs.  It is almost daily I see this now; loud and rowdy Americans in the nice outdoor restaurants, having contests with eating Ginny pigs, and eating them like a cow would hay, shoving it down and screaming to the tops of their lungs, while on lookers can’t believe their eyes; Peruvians have had a high regard for Americans, in a few more years, I think that will change.&lt;br /&gt;       For the most part—as I’ve already mentioned—Peruvians have a high opinion for Americans, and many wish to be in their shoes, but I don’t see this kind of behavior with other cultures coming to Peru, like Europeans, or Asians, or even South Americans visiting Peru, only Americans. It is not completely the young crowd, it is a mixture; they show indifference to those around them eating or doing whatever business they are doing.&lt;br /&gt;       I have written many articles on Peru, all positive, and I think this one can also be, we must, as Americans, remember, we are in another persons backyard, please act like you’d expect them to act, should they visit us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115414403589049079?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115414403589049079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115414403589049079' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115414403589049079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115414403589049079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/americans-going-to-peru.html' title='American’s Going to Peru'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115413876941150337</id><published>2006-07-28T19:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-28T19:06:09.420-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Remembering: The Granite Man (Red Flesh Brooding Dedicated to Don Quinn)</title><content type='html'>He had 32-fights, won 22, lost 10, between l956, and l964; was picked to fight Clay but would never make it to the ring whom was a younger fighter back than D.Q.; between May of 1960 and February 1962, had won ever fight he fought, all 13-battles right in a row. In 1962 he lost two, and in ’63, he won two. He lost all three of his last fights in 1964. He was the Heavyweight Title holder. I had met him personally once at his house (perhaps twice, I only remember specifically once talking to him though, in April of 1964); we talked briefly that forenoon, a sunny Saturday, just before one of his last three fights he’d have: March, April and November would be his finality for the big time. I was at that time, sixteen years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Considered up to his last three fights, the roughest and toughest fighter in Minnesota, and one of the boldest in the nation, this was his claim to fame; the public clambered for him, a love and hate calmer, he was the Minnesota brawler (D.Q.). Years later he’d go to the corner bar, where I hung out, and give a little lip service to a few of my tough friends, some would back down, some wouldn’t—but all knew he was no push over, hands and a head like granite, a will of iron, and he could take a blow. He took punches as if he had whalebones; swayed with the wind and shifted back to his fighting stance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I had first met him with his brother-in-law, Sid—Sid being a drinking buddy of mine at the time, we went to high school together, and we hung around, he introduced me to him, his sister was married to him; his hands were as big as my head I remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Said Sid, “DL, he’s a nice guy, but drunk he’s a madman, punch crazy, beat up my sister, stay away from him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess his wild swings were more dangerous than his planned ones. He left a blood trail anyway, and cloudy minds wherever he fought, to include his. He was kind of a hero of mine, until Sid told me of his sister getting hit a few times. I still liked the guy, and in time I learned our neighborhood was no different than his way of thinking, and like him, we all were St. Paul, Minnesotalits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His massive head, and blazing eyes gave men the terror, weakened their knees, prompting dread, just his name, like Mike Tyson, or Sonny Listen. Toward his last three fights, he was slipping, as they say, perhaps too much drink, not enough training, or if it was adequate, he was perhaps cracking from other things in his life: taking the iron blows to his face, skull, ribs, under his heart. He lost fights, but came back to win them also, as I said before, until the last three. People paid to see this granite man, to see the brawl, they didn’t care about a scientific fight, and the papers would pick it up as a tough mans fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a slugger, brawler, with a savage determination. He gave out punishment, and took it, haymakers missed him, and some didn’t, crushingly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115413876941150337?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115413876941150337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115413876941150337' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115413876941150337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115413876941150337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/remembering-granite-man-red-flesh.html' title='Remembering: The Granite Man (Red Flesh Brooding Dedicated to Don Quinn)'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115406909464967799</id><published>2006-07-27T23:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-27T23:44:54.656-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Recuay Culture of Peru: [400 BC-800 AD—Ancash, Region]</title><content type='html'>The Recuay Culture of Peru&lt;br /&gt;[400 BC-800 AD—Ancash, Region]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Recuay Culture is one of several fairly advanced pre-Inca societies of the first millennium AD in Peru, such as the Moche and Nazca. Best known for advanced ceramic art and stone cutting, the Recuay people were farmers and herders, whom lived in the Callejón de Huaylas Valley of the northern highlands of Peru, they were contemporaneous with the Moche culture, of the neighboring northern coast. They are known for their pottery, and the basic three colors they used.&lt;br /&gt;       The first civilizations in Peru, date back some 13,000-years, about 1250 BC, several advanced cultures, such as the Chavín (North part of Peru), Chimú (South part of Peru), Nazca, and Tiwanaku [Bolivia], developed in several sections, or regions of Peru, and what now is Bolivia. The Inca empire united what is now known as the better part of South America, within perhaps a 50-year period, with its base in Cuzco; a totalitarian state for the most part.  The Recuay civilization was an Andean society of the Classic Period.  &lt;br /&gt;       The art of the Moche and Nazca, are quite well known throughout the world, the Recuay cultural art [pottery in particular] are perhaps equal, but less known simply because of their location, and the instability in the highlands.  I have been in the highlands, and it is rough, many flood areas, much of it has to be traveled bay horse. The Wari expansion came about 750 AD, and it seems the Recuay culture dyed out some.&lt;br /&gt;       So little is written about this Culture of Peru, it is a shame.  Some of their figurines, like the llama, and the devils are quite impressive, among their other ceramics.  Very little is known of the social organization and settlements of this culture.&lt;br /&gt;       Ancash, a region, and part of the highlands of Northern Peru, are many sites available for the armature archeologist to enjoy himself (and mountain climbing, which I care not for).  Agriculture and herding are among its better-known exchange. You will see fruits, potatoes in this high altitude society for sale also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Recuay Heartland: communities were based around hilltop fortifications: settlements, here one had a defensive edge, and could have their ceremonial activates in some small way, in peace.&lt;br /&gt;       They have a distinctive artisan art style compared to their neighbors, I’ve have seen the work from almost every culture in Peru, and they have what I call a dark side to some of their work, as well as light side. Some monolith stone work, mummy and devil style; and for their period, very sophisticated.  Some of the potteries are of thin oxidized past.  Whitish clay is often used, I’ve seen this and handled the objects, and they are fine sculptures indeed, the white clay is known as kaolinite; they made animals, supernatural figures, again I’ve handled them, and they are unique, and one would be a prize to own.&lt;br /&gt;        From what I’ve seen, and I have not seen all of their stonework, or ceramics, or textiles, but much of it is I do believe, of mortuary ritual, ancestor worship, the public leaders.&lt;br /&gt;       The period I find most interesting in their artwork is 200 BC to 800 AD that could be considered almost their whole life existence as a culture of antiquity. But they as, many cultures have, had a transformation.  There was kind of a cultural exchange shift, or pattern in northern Peru, in the North Highlands, following the Chavin’s collapse in 100 BC, and the interactions between them and Recuay. Perhaps a second one between 200-700 AD, with the Moche and in 750 AD, the Wari; thus, we can see a complexity in their societal ancient character, if we follow them from one stage to another. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       —Ancash is a region located in Northern Peru, its capitol city is Huaraz, and its largest city is Chimbote. The name of the region originates from Quechua “anqash,’ meaning ‘blue.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115406909464967799?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115406909464967799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115406909464967799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115406909464967799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115406909464967799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/recuay-culture-of-peru-400-bc-800.html' title='The Recuay Culture of Peru: [400 BC-800 AD—Ancash, Region]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115396584106409370</id><published>2006-07-26T19:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-26T19:04:01.076-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel Uninvited by Rome to the War Tribunal</title><content type='html'>Something is vitally wrong with this picture, let me draw it out some:  we got a war in Lebanon as we all know, with the Lebanese government, and their allies the terrorist groups that run the country, from schools to the mosques, to the head office of the president; now we got two terrorist groups fighting Israel in the country. The meeting in Rome is to talk about how to make peace.  The Arab Nations have been invited, as has the US Government officials, and the EU to attend these meetings. Amal (a Shiite organization) and Hezbollah (more well known) will both get their ass kicked, but we do see plainly, a trend here; Lebanese is not guilty free as they have begged the world to see them as; as if they had no say in the mess, when in essence they had all along these two groups working side by side for them, the very groups that have links to the rest of the world’s terrorist organizations. &lt;br /&gt;       But back to my main point, the world is having a party in Rome, and everyone is invited except the Host. The one throwing the party is Israel: I would think they’d invite them.  But like Annan of the UN, who never cares to invite the Jews, so now Rome is picking up on that. How do you stop a war without talking to the conquerors? That is an insult, and if I were Israel, I’d notify them, the war stops when we talk, or under the conditions we’ve already laid down, not because they are talking. The EU is as worthless as the UN. We need them only because they are part of the weeds in the green grass, and without them, we’d not know haw cowardly man could be.&lt;br /&gt;       Maybe the international community can have the terrorist stop their target practice across the boarder long enough to save Lebanon from extermination.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115396584106409370?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115396584106409370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115396584106409370' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115396584106409370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115396584106409370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/israel-uninvited-by-rome-to-war.html' title='Israel Uninvited by Rome to the War Tribunal'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115389571439943966</id><published>2006-07-25T23:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-25T23:35:14.406-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Two UN’s forces are killed in Lebanon</title><content type='html'>More life is taken in the battle, there is not much more to say, I mean, the UN dead are no different to me than a Jew's death or a Lebanese death.  Where your in a war zone, people die, like in Vietnam, what did they expect, a picnic.  Don't shoot here, don't shoot there concept when out with Vietnam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, it is a sad case, two more people are dead in this on going war with Israel and Lebanon.  Because it is a UN observer, is not of consequence to me, a death is a death, and we should not—I believe give more value to a UN death than a Lebanese or Jew.  When UN observers go into harms way, in the middle of a war, what do you expect, everyone to baby-sit them, get serious, they are willingly, knowingly, walking into a deadly game. It sounds to me they don’t know who the killers are, Israel or Lebanon’s terrorist group; if it is Lebanon, then it is not an issue, its an accident, and will be forgotten soon.  If it is a Jew, it is a deadly sin, and a big issue; as usually, so we shall find out soon. Chinese or Canadian, or Jew, life is life.  The old story: get out of the oven, if you can’t take the heat.&lt;br /&gt;War is not pleasant, and for some odd reason, the UN feels they are immune from wars deadly forces. That is why the terrorist groups run to foreign hotels, churches, and homes, along with mosques and so forth and so on, because they are off limits to Israel in a war, to for them, but for everyone else in the civilized war world. It just happens to be, today or yesterday, Israel hasn’t been playing by the world’s rules, as the terrorist group has never been playing by them, as Iran and Syria has never been.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan [the antichrist’s assistant] is deeply distressed over this, how about over the deaths of Israel’s dead. I don’t think Annan will lose any sleep over it; he’ll go to his millionaires club, and drink a few wines, and go home.  Here is a man who was responsible for many more lives in Africa, I doubt he will grieve all that much.  Annan has really no idea of what is truth, and what is going on here, but he has a lot to say.  He should investigate before he opens his mouth, plus, he is the spokesman for the UN, his was never given the kingship of the world body that is with the five members;  but I suppose he thinks he speaks for all the members, when in essence, he speaks for whom he likes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115389571439943966?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115389571439943966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115389571439943966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115389571439943966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115389571439943966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/two-uns-forces-are-killed-in-lebanon.html' title='Two UN’s forces are killed in Lebanon'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115388614820647776</id><published>2006-07-25T20:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-25T20:55:48.220-07:00</updated><title type='text'>In the Last Days: Russia and Israel and America Crushed</title><content type='html'>Article One of Two&lt;br /&gt;In The last Days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Russia and Israel: To the Death Marching&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Middle East is an oven ready to explode, I don’t have to prove that, we can see it; we see Iran playing with nukes, and Syria and Iran supplying terrorist groups.  Russia looking here and there for money, its old glory, and who is in the Middle?  You guessed it, Israel. I do not wish to be skeptical with a message, like so many preachers, trying to sensationalize the Biblical hour of destruction, but lets put it where it belongs, no conjecture, no footnotes, just description:  we can turn to the front pages of any newspaper to see where we are headed, or we can turn to Ezekiel 38: and chapter 39, read the whole thing, you will find Russia, Moscow, marching to the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;       Ask the question: who can take down Israel?  China can’t, they’d lose their pants, and belt, or as they say in Peru, the Goat and the Rope. There are only two countries in the whole world that could take on Israel, the US and Russia.  Europe, or even NATO, without the US assistance would be cooked alive if Israel decided to pour their might upon them. This is not boasting, I am not Jewish, nor boast, it is fact. I spent 11-years in the military. We got nukes over in Europe, but by the time we got to put them in place to use, the sake would have gobbled us up.  It is just show and tell over there.&lt;br /&gt;        Ezekiel is the prophet in question here, as Russia is signified as Rosh, in the Bible, from whence Russians derive their name.  Thus, Russia will invade the land of Israel, but be defeated. In researching this, and watching world events unfold, one need only as who is the face of Gog, and where is the land of Magog? As a result of your research, you will discover Mother Russia. The meaning of Gog, is ‘end time ruler.’  But what we discover in the bible is this: Gog’s last stand.  The tips of the Caucasus Mountains are referred to as or called ‘The Gogh” We also can trade Magog to the book of Genesis Chapter 10.&lt;br /&gt;       I don’t want to get too much into spreading this out as far as one can, it would take a volume or two, but to make a point I must settle something.  Josephus, a Jewish historian, who worked for the Romans, who lived 2000 years ago, said the Greeks called the Scythians Magog or Magogites.  These are the very same people Russia gives credit for populating their land, thousands of years ago.&lt;br /&gt;       The bible and times, and means indicated a great conflagration in the Middle East in the last days. These are the days you and I are living in; to me they are most interesting. We can recognize these as actual or false, it doesn’t matter, I am just a little vice among many, but God’s word says so, and as I said already, so does the times and means.  If it was up to me, I’d say let’s get it over with, I feel we are living in a most interesting time. Actually, there are only two times in history I’d liked to have lived, the first, would be in the beginning, when Adam and Eve were alive, the second is now, at is end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article Two of Two&lt;br /&gt;In the Last Days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America in Prophecy: Jeremiah to Revelation&lt;br /&gt;[Crushed]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where is America in prophecy? Many folks have asked.  I written (years ago on this very subject) I shall see if I can put some of it together by memory again. Review your New and Old Testaments in the Bibles: such prophets as:  Isaiah, Jeremiah, and John are good to start out with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah said it loud and clear, and I’ve been looking at this warning for many years, and when 9/11 came, and I was in a plane from Minneapolis to LA, at 8:36 AM, and it was stopped, it made me think: “…Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible form their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled…”&lt;br /&gt;If this doesn’t describe America, I’m not sure what other nation it could be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah also says in so many words [Chapter 50]: she is a nation whose…mother shall be sore confounded. Nimrod founded Babylon, so it must be America, whose mother was England, whom is far from being a superpower as it was at one time of her life.  He also specifies: she dwells around water, We have the worlds two largest oceans to looked at, on each side of our country, and a river that is over 4000 miles long. He also adds: her wealth irritates the nations of the earth; jealousy is big here [Chapter 51].  I travel a lot, and I can say without hesitation, once I’m known as an American, I am looked at differently than my Peruvian wife, and now she is.  Everyone thinks my wife is my translator in South America, and in Asia as well. But just being an American plagues them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah also points out: she tries to mount up to heaven, we’ve just found water on the moon Titan, so he got that one right, and we’ve been to Mars now.  So he was talking about America I’m sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Revelation, we see John as told us: she is laden with sins, she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, and her wealth has produced idleness and sin.  If ever we’ve been in a state of polluted souls, we are now. Booze and drug addiction, gay rights, and abortion, godlessness all around and gambling and robbers everywhere; homosexuality, now arrogantly and blatantly going public; smut peddlers on the Internet like lice on a camel; venereal disease running ramped. Mercy killers, death with dignity; if I left something out, you can fill it in, I’m sure there is a lot more to be said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, in conclusion, the world is going to have a wake up call, and there will be a holocaust against all nations, and America is not going to be the only one free of this, as I sense, she thinks she will be. Judgment calls for it, and we can see it with all the sneak attacks going on around her, and those being stopped by the FBI and CIA.  Syria has paid well its terrorist groups to put a snare in Americas coffin, as has Iran. I do not think America or Russia is going to come out of this smelling like roses, I get the feeling we both will be crushed.  I see this in Ezekiel, Jeremiah and in the Book of Revelation.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115388614820647776?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115388614820647776/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115388614820647776' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115388614820647776'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115388614820647776'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/in-last-days-russia-and-israel-and.html' title='In the Last Days: Russia and Israel and America Crushed'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115380195053527964</id><published>2006-07-24T21:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-24T21:32:30.543-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Abu Omar al-Kurdi: The Kingfish Of Baghdad</title><content type='html'>Abu Omar al-Kurdi: The Kingfish Of Baghdad &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Jan. 26, 2005 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s got a long name that’s for sure, and a long list of car bombings; he’s killed his own people with, his own kind without a blink of an eye. You can rest assure there is division among the Islamic world, and hypocrisy piled as high as you can climb; he is the proof in the pudding. I would think because of such people like Saddam who forced feed them past the infancy stage, they never acquire a free thinking mind. To be quite honest, I doubt they will ever get fully over this developmental stage; I would pray they would though, and that I’m wrong. Maybe Europe knows this better than us. Anyhow, the Kingfish of Baghdad, Abu Omar al-Kurdi [for short]; and Ali for shorter, was captured. I’m sure Ali has trained a few good Islamic souls to carry on his mission from Allah. Anyhow, I got thinking of the new Iraqi government, what is due punishment for him. In America we’d put him in a cell, with a TV, some weights to lift, and feed him steak and eggs for breakfast. I hope they put him in a car, and blow it up. I’m Jewish today: an eye for an eye. As a Christian I’d put him in the lions den and walk away, and he could pray to Allah to save him; let’s see how he rates with Allah. Then I’d take a video and send it to that Islamic TV station, Letterman is always making fun of, and let them transmit it all over the Islamic world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was said to had been responsible for the UN attack also back in August of 2003 [?] not that it makes all that much difference; I mean, a car bomb in Baghdad, killing 1 or 10-Iraqi’s does not differ with me than killing 11 or 20 UN hot shots; although the UN staff believe it does. Blood is blood and the UN tag is not stapled on the DNA. Mothers, fathers, wives and children all cry the same. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, I notice all the fat-Muslims are in fear the poor little Iraqi does will get a taste of freedom, wise up you could say, and thus, no longer able to lead him by the nose in circles. My gosh, what would life be like then. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115380195053527964?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115380195053527964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115380195053527964' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115380195053527964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115380195053527964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/abu-omar-al-kurdi-kingfish-of-baghdad.html' title='Abu Omar al-Kurdi: The Kingfish Of Baghdad'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115380015405317098</id><published>2006-07-24T21:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-24T21:02:34.063-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Feet that Run towards Evil [War in Lebanon: Rice’s Visit: 7/24/2006]</title><content type='html'>Feet that Run towards Evil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[War in Lebanon: Rice’s Visit: 7/24/2006] The Lebanese Government is like it’s their allies Hezbollah; they want an end to the destruction stopped on their side of the fence, but not their war on Israel.  What would King David and Solomon say about this?  If I remember right, Solomon killed his half brother because when he gave him a second chance, he plotted still, to take his throne, then of course he had him killed.   King David, would not have waited so long, he’d have had him killed right away.  So Rice’s comments today with the Lebanese Government was not too encouraging, save for the fact, she is waiting for Hezbollah to make a positive move, and everyone else is waiting for Israel to lay down and die like a nice little puppy.&lt;br /&gt;       Someone said, a cease-fire should come first, and then talk about the two soldiers, Hezbollah remains holding.  Not sure why it can’t be the other way around, release the two soldiers, and then talk, since that was the agitator in the first place.  I mean, didn’t Israel talk for two weeks before the invasion, and only afterwards did the UN get fully involved. My suggestion is, leave Israel do what they are doing, and talk after the country falls to the abyss, and then carry a big stick to the closed door, conversations they’d like to have.&lt;br /&gt;       We can see protesters in Beirut, making their voices heard that Washington’s voice on the subject is not to their liking, of allowing the fighting to go on.  What is Washington suppose to do, tell Israel to stop, while Hezbollah bombs the hell out of them.  Let’s get serious here, we are talking about a war, not a democratic election.  The protesters should line up in back of the Lebanese Prime Minister’s door and pretest that their government harbors a terrorist group that is being supported by their Capitol: the Lord hates: ‘Feet that run towards evil,’ so wrote King Solomon, and Fouad Siniora and Nabih Berri do just that, as do those protesters.&lt;br /&gt;       Some folks quote American Tax dollars at work are killing Lebanese, and I say, Syrian and Iranian tax dollars are doing the something, killing Jews.  So we have a status quo here.  But of course, the media often does not see the other side of the fence, biased they can be.  Deal with the reasons, and problem, it came about, not the surface situation, that is what is happening now, bombing, killing, but why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Israel]      Israel has built a tent city in Nitzanim Beach to get away from Hezbollah rocket fire in the north, why do we not see or hear more on this with the media?&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah conceded it is losing the battles, and the south is falling as Israel is finding many rockets, taking Hazbollah’s stronghold, and thus, saving many Jewish lives for the future, but no one seems to look at it from that angle. “Israeli forces say their goal is to neutralize Hezbollah.”  Hezbollah is presently trying to hit hospitals in Northern Israel [so they have to go underground]; these are the good guys the Lebanese are protesting.&lt;br /&gt;[America] The other thing American’s have not mentioned, or mentioned very little, is that Hazbollah has had its evil eye on America, and has tried a number of times to do its dirty deeds. So if our tax money destroys these maggots, the entire better, and let Israel do the dirty work, or we will have to, as the CIA has in the past.  Iran, being the primary supporter of this terrorist group, will continue after Israel leaves to rebuild Hazbollah’s strength, but for a while it will hurt them.   Saudi has its members in that gang as well, no wonder they are trying to broker a ceasefire.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115380015405317098?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115380015405317098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115380015405317098' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115380015405317098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115380015405317098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/feet-that-run-towards-evil-war-in.html' title='Feet that Run towards Evil [War in Lebanon: Rice’s Visit: 7/24/2006]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115372113235050958</id><published>2006-07-23T23:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-23T23:05:32.360-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Syria Playing the Good Guy</title><content type='html'>I see Syria has opened the doors to Lebanon; they should, since they’ve put them into this predicament. If it weren’t for them, Israel would not have to protect its boarders.  We seem to have hindsight there, or at least the media today.  Let’s look at the whole picture when we put the cards on the table.  It is like the old saying goes: cause the problem, then fixes it, and you’ll be the hero.&lt;br /&gt;       One of the many sad things is, world heritage sites are being hit, a curse of war, as is death, and scares afterwards.  This whole area has a worldly spiritual connection.&lt;br /&gt;       The terrorist group has hit the university in Haifa…&lt;br /&gt;       The UN, is now in Beirut, and wants a stop to the fighting, but the terrorist group will not stop, so why should Israel.  The UN needs to talk to Iran, Syria, and the well-fed terrorist group Hezbollah.  We must not forget where it all started, Hezbollah, Syria’s ‘Red Army,’ killed three Israel soldiers, and abducted two more, and declared war, this is war: so the UN needs to point fingers where they belong!&lt;br /&gt;       It would seem Israel got their first foothold in the country now, good, it’s about time, now secure the area, and create a buffer, and send Syria and Iran a message, if you don’t Hazbollah will simply start all over again down the road launching more rockets.&lt;br /&gt;       Most of the news coming out of this crisis, is Lebanon getting hit, how about the 100-rockets the guerillas fired Saturday into northern Israel: we don’t hear much on that.  To me, this is just a matter of Israel hitting back, and they just happened to have a bigger club.  I am not sure why the media counts the causalities during the conflict, of war, it would be wiser to count after the war: all this does is sells more newspapers, and puts blame on the one winning the war, so pressure will be put on them to stop, so the loser can go home victorious. But for once, Israel is not listening to the bull…and Bush isn’t either.&lt;br /&gt;       So the count is 300-dead, and 1000-wounded, on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;      The other issue I have a hard time with is, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1559, calling for the disarmament of Hezbollah, in 2004, and it has not happened. Now the UN is not doing a thing about it, so guess that has to, Israel. So it tells me they passed a resolution they did not want to uphold, yet the UN seems to be taking sides here, as expected.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115372113235050958?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115372113235050958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115372113235050958' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115372113235050958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115372113235050958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/syria-playing-good-guy.html' title='Syria Playing the Good Guy'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115358304704053406</id><published>2006-07-22T08:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-22T08:44:07.053-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Imaginative Writing Vs. Writing Skills</title><content type='html'>Imaginative Writing Vs. Writing Skills &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Jan. 12, 2005 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have letters, real letters I paid good money for them, one from Mary Renault [a writer of some 17-books, died I think in l984], one from Hemingway, one from Napoleon himself [1806], a note from the Senator of Paris, Victor Hugo [l840’s], and several others, you want to see bad writing, this would be enough to flip a hamburger off its grill. But you know it’s just the way life is (a part of our past generations). Someone once said, referring to the difference in imaginative writing vs. writing skills, “If I had no writing skills at all, but a good imagination, that would do in selling books, its been proven many times over; but if I had only writing skills, and no imagination, don’t try to write a book. [Something similar to that.]” Then I got thinking of some folks who write twenty paragraphs of whatever, and at the end of the whatever, say nothing. I wonder where they fit in. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suppose it is like a handsome guy or lovely lady with no personality. Thus, it does not matter how smart one is or good looking, dead meat or spoiled meat is uneatable either way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah! Yes, yes, fate seats a skeleton at every table does it not; and hissing dribbles down ones lips out of discontentment over such matters. It is to some, ‘bitter delight’ no matter what, for such to find a lovely misspelled word, or imperfect sentence: a feverish heaven of his hell, one might say. Thus misery ebbs out of his pale mind, and creates its own kind of pleasantness. Lets enjoy writing, is that not what this is all about. If need be, if it goes for a Pulitzer, we can always hire a ghost-writer. The spoken and at times broken word, when it becomes too much work, or not fun at all, who will care to write [?] Who wants to go back to school for 7-more years and learn the mine or grammar? Then come back and write for the UK [no disrespect intended, but I’d head on to ’60-minutes’]. Some of us are content being a Private in the Army, some want to be Officers, so let it flow, whatever floats the boat. The UK is like a nice red apple tree, and I like red apples, not green. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people that like green apples are schooled in mad desires, somewhere in their human history, their fragile past—such a shame, they never ate a red apple, or ate too many of them. In consequence, one keeps swimming in an empty gulf, when he should be resting his brain that’s over taxed; it is more of a medical condition than a syntax delight. But this is the way things are, it is easier to correct another’s grammar than to correct one’s own mind, make it healthy, which would take much longer, of course. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do we find such people: most likely, sitting at home across ones lamplight; weaving silence and grief—their inner light is cast out by inner shadows? These types of beings are lost at sea “Ah! Look!” There, they’re go….now all I hear is the mindless clamor of echoes, or is it the gulls. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115358304704053406?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115358304704053406/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115358304704053406' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115358304704053406'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115358304704053406'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/imaginative-writing-vs-writing-skills.html' title='Imaginative Writing Vs.

Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Aug 11, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If David Letterman can do it, so can I: who are the Top Ten Bullies? Not hard to find them. A lot of foreigners are saying the US Government is the number one Bully. Could they be right? They do not talk about the Top Ten givers, or freedom fighters, no: Arafat gets that Top Ten billing, number one Freedom Fighter, hailed by Hillary Clinton; and the contributions to a world starving, we feed over 500,000-million people on earth. How come there is no Top Ten here; where would the EU be or France, Germany, Russia, China be on such a list? But I want to talk about Bullies, I get off course now and then, don't I; forgive me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now who can we start with, how about Iran: number ten [10]; freedom of speech, just try and say what you want [Egypt can be put into that category also, and Saudi Arabia and Jordan]. How about Castro, number nine [9], there you might just as well through the "Bill of Rights," off the dock into the bay. How about the PLO, number eight [8]; if you talk to an Israeli, you're dead, if you don't put on a explosive belt, you're dead, if you put it on, you're dead, if you say the wrong word, you're dead; if you're American, you're a bully - so think and do as they say. North Korea, number seven [7], they haven't seen sunshine in 50-years, what more can I say, they control everyone's lips. Don't forget, these are bullys [within their society, and around, if not wanting the world at their feet], it takes a bully to keep a society in line. Bill Clinton number six [6], he tried to be a bully but didn't succeed. Russia, number five [5], they give and they take; imprison people for making money, and subdue those who have not catered to the Kremlin. They lost the war of will with America, and have not forgot it, they will be surfacing in the near future, and I'm sure will be a bigger billing in the Top Ten Bully list. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Civil Liberties seem to be protecting the criminals, the terrorists, they get honorary mention, for they'd like to be a bully, yet do not make the grade: their flag is flying high though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the Bully Top Ten. Number four [4], Sudan, Kenya, South Africa, the Congo, Liberia, and a half dozen more countries over there, in Africa, they are all on a power gig, to see how long they can last, how many they can rape, how much they can steal and kill. Number three the EU and the UN [they are the exclusive team now, with Germany and France leading the way], and would like to dictate to the world, and is trying through international financing and manipulation to run a new world order, yet they'd like the US to join, and be their fighting force [do their dirty work for them] as we have in the past, now with NATO, before with WWI, WWII dollars, men and machines, etc. Number two, China, the bully of Tibet, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, to mention a few. And the top dog of the day, Bin Laden with his al-Queda gangsters; he and his Muslim assistants would like to put the world in bondage - Bully Number Ten. Well, it's not what you might have expected, but it is as David Letterman would have put it, the Top Ten for the day, I can't do a thing about it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115354603716468304?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115354603716468304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115354603716468304' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115354603716468304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115354603716468304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/top-ten-list-of-bullies.html' title='The Top Ten List of Bullies'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115354335212159837</id><published>2006-07-21T21:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-21T21:42:32.126-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The USA’s Supreme Court’s Diluted Laws</title><content type='html'>The USA’s Supreme Court’s Diluted Laws   &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I’m not out to change anyone’s mind, and I’m sure I couldn’t’ anyway, we are all a little bent on how we see things I suppose, and now the time has come for a appointee for the Supreme Court, which is the President’s constitutional right to select; and of course, to be subject to questioning by the Supreme Court judges, and Senate. I guess if I believe in anything in America—I would go with the statement a CIA Agent made recently, and I can’t remember his name, but when he asked if he worked for the President of the United States, he said, “No, I work for the ‘Constitution of the United States.”’ I couldn’t have said it any better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, I look at all this fuss going on about President Bush’s selection for the Supreme Court; of course everyone on the left, or let’s say, those for Abortion Rights, are worried about Bush’s candidate; to the point, they are looking at religion; and they should be warned, they could be trespassing on his First Amendment rights of the candidate. I mean, does Bush have to select an atheist to appease the Democrats? I hope not; like Clinton, a president has the right to select any one he wants, providing he is qualified. If Bush’s appointee claimed to be pro abortion, this dispute would not be forthcoming by the left. This could turn into a Civil Rights dispute I dread, somewhere down this slanted line; should this continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we are of course looking at Roe Vs. Wade, are we not? The Supreme Court decided on January 22, l973 to endorse, or however you want to put it, but I say, “Give” Federal Constitutional Protection to women who wish to have an abortion. Which they say is the law of the land I guess now (which I believe is really unconstitutional); now let me jump ahead a bit, and come back to this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the Constitution, Article II, Section II, the president has this right to select whom he pleases. I am not sure what constitutional right the Supreme Court Judges upheld in Roe V. Wade; and I think Mr. Roberts sees it that way also. I mean the First Amendment deals with the freedom of religion, and speech, and freedom for the Press, which is being violated at this very moment, by holding a certain newspaper lady behind bars for not disclosing her source of information. But the point I’m getting at is the law of the land, the Constitution does not produce such a freedom. It may be a woman’s right, but not a Constitutional Right according to the United States Constitution; the Supreme Court makes that up; they know it, and so does the left, and that is where the fear comes in I’d say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let’s take this to another level. Why did the Supreme Court even make such a diluted law, or judgment? Simple, because under Amendment’s V and VI, an abortion would normally fall under a ‘Capital Crime,’ or “Infamous Crimes”; and thus, the judgment wipes away any criminal prosecutions that might emerge from a woman having an abortion. In essence, the law of the land was modified to accommodate abortions, which it was never meant to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What bothers me is, if we can do that to our precious Constitution, if nine-judges can alter the most precious document an American has, what they can not do! God help us all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115354335212159837?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115354335212159837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115354335212159837' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115354335212159837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115354335212159837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/usas-supreme-courts-diluted-laws.html' title='The USA’s Supreme Court’s Diluted Laws'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115354265159355632</id><published>2006-07-21T21:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-21T21:30:54.653-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How grateful should Israel be to terrorists?</title><content type='html'>How grateful should Israel be to terrorists?  &lt;br /&gt;[7/22/2006]&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;How grateful we should be to the poor terrorists who deserve who invaded countries in the name of Allah. How justified they are to continue with their killings and so forth, so I’ve heard, somewhere along the line. Let me put my view in focus, of course it can’t be right, I mean, an American going against the UN, we are always wrong aren’t we. It’s the new breed out there; the ones that suck America dry, and slap her in the face.&lt;br /&gt;       They all want their rights with no responsibility; I do believe, if Islam could, they would, invade America, and are trying in South America, they’ve even got a weasel in the congress in Peru. They couldn’t alter the recent elections and that really bothered them, now they got to work on Allen Garcia and see if He’ll be as easy as his running mate.&lt;br /&gt;       America and England are in Iraq, but yet the terrorists are hitting all over the world. What is really the message here? I think it is, ‘We can, and we will,’ as simple as that. It has always been that way. And if we did not help Israel, the Arabs would exterminate them like Hitler tried; it is their big desire, there high if you will. We have a lot of Jew haters around, not sure why, but they are like cockroaches, they can be found in any dirty hole.&lt;br /&gt;       In any case, the Arab world would not allow, or even think of having a fair fight with Israel, as we have seen in their past history—they tired to exterminate them in 1948-49; again in 1967, and again in 1972; it would not be a one on one. It would be a gang fight against one, as it always has been, and the United Nations would back it up and laugh all the way from New York City to Vienna [and we give them $21-billion dollars a year, and they want more].&lt;br /&gt;       The new trouble in Lebanon is no different than the war on terror, as President Bush has pointed out, it is only the fact, it is Jews fighting Arabs; as it always has been.  And the UN wants to make sure the Arabs get their needs and rights, and point out the rules of war, as if   there was only party involved here.  Israel perhaps has one of the best air forces in the world, let them use it here and let it be written in history, they shoved all the boasting surprises by its foe down its throat.  I hate a one sided fight. I once was in such a fight, and you get pushed here and there, and everyone seems to think the loner deserves it, but put him or her face-to-face, one on one, and they are all mouth.  This is the case here, today in Lebanon. Leave the folks fight it out, why get involved, they started it, why should we jump on Lebanon’s side and say: gee, those bad Jews are sure over doing this little game.  Everyone’s afraid Israel might win, and then what—Peace?

The boarder is getting tighter and Lebanon’s president has warned Israel not to invade Lebanon, perhaps they should tell that to Hezbollah. It tells me one thing, they want Hezbollah there to shoot across their boarder into Israel, and call it a safe zone for the terrorist group. If Hezbollah is having a hell of a time fighting Israel, the Lebanon army will be wiped out in less than a heart beat, if I was the president, I’d not send my troops to be whipped like little puppies, lest he want to sleep tonight with no Army when he wakes up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israeli Gen. Shuki Shachar has not said what his intentions are about an invasion; perhaps another 10-days of bombing will sort that out, but if Lebanon wants to fight Israel over a terrorist group, they are no better than the terrorist group themselves.  I don’t think the status quo, or cease-fire will do much good, so Israel, finish the job this time. The President of Lebanon says,  "We are not going to let anybody take our land. We are not going to let them come back and take it," when in essence, the terrorist group has already taken it. I never can figure out if they really think the world is so dumb or what.  But then Hitler said: “It is easier to fool the masses than one individual.”  Perhaps he was right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah hit the United Nations’s observation post and of course the UN blamed it on Israel, how anti Jew can you be. They create a smoke screen so they don’t have to reprimand Hezbollah: that is why the Jews don’t want the EU or UN over in their backyard snooping around, they are up to no good. This is the first time in a long time I’ve seen the media do fairly good reports on the military operations with all involved, usually they, like the UN and EU, and Middle Eastern Arab countries are always slanting their biases, to hurt Israel, and claiming like the UN, it is all the Jew’s fault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       Hassan Nasrallah is a bit embarrassed he is getting his ass kicked, I suppose with his big mouth the way it is, I’d be ashamed of my operations also.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115352992070436368?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115352992070436368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115352992070436368' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115352992070436368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115352992070436368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/israel-and-hezbollah-at-war-7202006.html' title='Israel and Hezbollah at War [7/20/2006]'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115346006237064034</id><published>2006-07-20T22:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-20T22:34:22.380-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Globalist: the New Breed</title><content type='html'>The globalist’s are the new breed, the new generation if that is what I can call it. The new internationalist might be better. They all think they will find salvation in humanism, or in man himself. I say good luck chumps. Globalism has planted these seed a generation ago, or so, maybe longer, but they started sprouting a generation ago. It calls for the control by governments by a government, to control our wealth, resources; as the United Nations would like to have done, had Kerry made it as President; internationalize the US to their liking. The wealth and resources are somewhat control anyhow, the internationalist have been busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is hard in a way to pin-point the enemy exactly, but terrorism has re-focused us not to pay attention to this emerging dilemma. We are slowly all being fenced in, like it or not; like in a concentration camp. If you can’t feel it, you’re too busy with other crap. It is mixed with psychological intimidation that is a way in capturing without hogtying a person, country, and eventually the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still on the premise of Globalism [Globalization]; I will get into the conspiracy in a moment. We have a few of them going on: Globalism is one in itself, the other is our children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was about to say, I could not have said this 40-years ago, it wasn’t so noticeable I suppose, and I was too young to give a sh…t. But it is so obvious now, if you can’t see it, you are blind, or want to be. I love America, but I’d not raise my kids here any longer, should I have one now, and I do not intend in having one. Nor is this any longer a place to retire, it is although a place to make money. That is not cutting down America, for I spent 11-years in the military, it is telling the truth. The American family structure produces mentally ill children, starting at the age of five. We can give thanks to our legislatures for most of that, and some to the parents, and drugs, and fast pace of our life style, and the no-god syndrome we have going on now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teachers are a big blame for this; the ungodly creatures, I’d take my kid to a private school nowadays, should I be forced to raise a child in America. But can I blame the teachers all that much? When we got Activist Judges that should have half the blame, and who do you think makes up the criteria for the schools, it is the Behavioral Psychologists, not the education system, lest you want to remain fooled like the many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patriotism has its new obstacles, as the global network takes control. We can see, and are being taught: global perspective; global family settings; global responsibility; global citizenship, and evolutionary education, we are being herded like cows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humanism is merely, Marxism, with a new face on it; it denies God, as Europe and the United Nations has done so plainly. Feminism is the last corner in the box of humanism to be cultivated. In our public schools, the truth of the matter is, the humanist manifesto is the key word, regardless of grade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as Americans have been under attack for a long time, because of our constitution, for it was made to protect the people and to give certain rights to the government that the people want the government to have, not like Iran, Saudi Arabia, the new EU constitution, etc. That is why we are under attack. We have freedoms, and this does not lay good with the humanist view. Our free enterprise system is under attack, as are our values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people are in despair, it is most easy to control them; like they do in the Middle East. They want to hang on to power at any cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In l975, the University of Nevada, James H. Lincoln, drafted up a document to be used in the future called, “Model Statue for Termination of Parental Rights.” Although the model in itself dates back some one hundred years, or the concept; in November, l976, it was reviewed by the Juvenile Justice System. Now call it what you will, but the proof is in the pudding. You ask, “Where is the conspiracy?” Just look around.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115346006237064034?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115346006237064034/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115346006237064034' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115346006237064034'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115346006237064034'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/globalist-new-breed.html' title='The Globalist: the New Breed'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115344102833183750</id><published>2006-07-20T17:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-20T17:17:08.340-07:00</updated><title type='text'>United Nations #60:  Hezbollah, Annan’s Puppy</title><content type='html'>United Nations #60:  Hezbollah, Annan’s Puppy &lt;br /&gt;[Annan: Assistant to the Antichrist]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annan, this guy I’ve said it a hundred times, and he never fails to come through with his satanic ways (and prodigious hatred for the Jews), is surely a link to the Antichrist’s way of thinking. He is the worse General Secretary the world has ever had.  And I do not need to research my fifty-nine other articles on the United Nations I did to give you a layout of his misdeeds, and his murderous ways, from Africa to and through the Middle East, but it would take a longer letter than this, but believe me, he has his sins to account for and will in hell.&lt;br /&gt;       As we all know we have a battle going on in Lebanon, which Lebanon started, funded by Syria and Iran, and delivered to Israel by Hezbollah, Lebanon’s turret group, the other side of Hamas, or PLO, they are all the same, cut out of the same pie.&lt;br /&gt;       Again Annan feels Israel should lay down their advantage in battlements and let Hezbollah alone, so they can rebuild rest and recuperate to kill more Jews.  Annan is the cause of more lost life in the Middle East, Israel, and Africa than Pol Pot was in Cambodia.  We have a Secretary General that thinks he is the new Emperor of the New World Order; perhaps he is the deadly prophet, assistant to the Antichrist.&lt;br /&gt;       The US has not kindly taken to allowing the UN or the EU to pressure Israel with their pacifism; it is not a good road to peace, thus they have given Israel a green light, and Israel should take it with full motivation. The diplomatic virus coming out of the UN is only their old age illness of anti Zionism showing.   The way I look at it is, Israel should take zero tolerance with Hezbollah, and drive them into the Red Sea; given time, they can do it, then talk peace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115344102833183750?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115344102833183750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115344102833183750' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115344102833183750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115344102833183750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/united-nations-60-hezbollah-annans.html' title='United Nations #60:  Hezbollah, Annan’s Puppy'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115337659447291836</id><published>2006-07-19T23:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-19T23:23:14.490-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Brussels wants to Kill More Jews!!</title><content type='html'>Brussels: Kill More Jews!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The European Union as usual, would like to see    Israel lay down and die.  There is no such thing as disproportionate force in war.  You use the amount it takes to win: actually a smart general would use overwhelming odds, President Eisenhower did.  &lt;br /&gt;       Israel, didn’t tell Brussels they used disproportionate force when they went into Bosnia? There is always a turkey behind such gobbledygook. They tell Israel to cool it after Hezbollah hits and runs, like Hamas. &lt;br /&gt;       Lebanon is of course not innocent in all this, how can they be, they say: we are against civilian attacks, but it seems only when it is not Jewish.   They don’t cry about Jews dying; only Arabs, so Israel will lower its defense so Hezbollah can regroup.  They fear this terrorist group will be obliterated.  Thus, Israel, hurry up and blast them into the Red Sea.  And tell Satan’s group, the EU to beat it.  &lt;br /&gt;       Jordan and Egypt are a little upset, Hezbollah is getting their ass kicked, and are scorning Israel for winning the battle. If they were losing, the world would shut up.  I hope Egypt gets their ass kicked again, and Jordan as well, Israel did it before and can again. You would think they’ve learned their lesson.  Iran and Syria are of course the main causes of the conflict, this would be a good time for Israel to blast Irons reactors, and invade Syria.  Get it all done at once.&lt;br /&gt;       They got the US and Canada on there side, and may not forever, because things change over night.  Russia is taking a back seat in this conflict, good for those hypocrites. I kind of hope Hezbollah don’t release the prisoners right away; give Israel a reason to wipe out all the dead crap in Lebanon to the Red Sea.&lt;br /&gt;       Israel must remember, the EU and UN are not on their side, it is the US that is, and since they got an open door, it is very important to make the strongest military campaign they can on this escalating mission.  If every Jew was killed but one in Israel, the EU and UN still would not justify their actions, against any amount of Arab forces.  The EU is a weak military force that Israel could wipe out overnight, should the US leave Europe and therefore Israel has no worry about reprisals, only trade; but who you going to trade with if your dead.&lt;br /&gt;       France like always is the unclear clown in the background, trying to be the trump card for the Islamic World.  Again their Foreign Minister sees only one side of the fence, the bad guys. Trying to chum up with the Arabs so they don’t hit the big tower down the street, the one they’ve tried to hit in the past. Germany seems to be keeping an open mind today on the matter, what happened to the great two-some.&lt;br /&gt;       Lebanon is crying it is not their fault they allow the terrorist group into their congress, into their schools and into their mosques, and into their military; and should not suffer the consequences; first of all this is the most sappiest statement I’ve ever heard.  That means, Israel should stretch out and die? If the police down my block cannot protect me from a killer, I got a 38 special that will.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115337659447291836?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115337659447291836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115337659447291836' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115337659447291836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115337659447291836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/brussels-wants-to-kill-more-jews.html' title='Brussels wants to Kill More Jews!!'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115328019685306293</id><published>2006-07-18T20:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T20:36:36.853-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Japan’s Rage for Pyongyang</title><content type='html'>Japan’s Rage for Pyongyang&lt;br /&gt;[7/12/2006]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Pacifism vs. pre-emptive strikes—all I’d need to do if I was a Japanese person, after this most recent act of aggression by North Korea by sending over a missile towards their homeland, is remember Kiewit; like the old American saying goes: “Remember the Alamo,” that would wake me up. Hell with the nice words of ‘let’s negotiate,’ when there is nothing to negotiate but prepare: you bomb me, I bomb you, now it’s time to talk.    &lt;br /&gt;       The first thing I’d do would be to write a new constitution, and not with American interest involved, that would come second or third.  If you allow someone to take your interests into account in battle, you will fall short (and North Korea has declared war on Japan, like it or not; if the US was not present, Japan would be long gone); they will always look at their self-interest first.  And the US is stepping back from the Asia recreantly. I’d not let China or anyone remind me of my [Japan’s] wartime march and/or brutalism in WWII, it was a bad war, but all wars are bad, I’d reminded the world China tried to exterminate Tibet, and still has a horrid prison record for its people.  And North Korea is starving their people alive, to build a nuclear arsenal, while they want South Korea and Japan to buy their bread.  And America does not have a very good record in Vietnam or Iraq, so let’s put all the pointing of fingers aside, we are all guilty of wartime crimes; what I see is the Japanese people, like the South Korean people, have gotten soft, and do not want to take the time or effort to build a forces to naturalize their enemy.  The old saying goes, let them take charge of your life, and they will.&lt;br /&gt;       I’d add a few cruse missiles to my newfound arsenal, and aim them at North Korea, and China, should she decide to be the bully, either country would think twice, especially the North.  Bury WWII, it is old news; we are in a New World Order, and if Japan does not change, it will be left behind, and China and North Korea will be holding the aces, and blackmail her into submission.&lt;br /&gt;       The majority of Japanese folks did not like the crisis of the firing of the missiles; while 10% didn’t care, but I suppose they were Chinese or Korean citizens living in Japan, because I can’t figure out anyone who would like such a threat as a rocket being sent over towards their homeland, or near it, and not say a word.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115328019685306293?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115328019685306293/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115328019685306293' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115328019685306293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115328019685306293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/japans-rage-for-pyongyang.html' title='Japan’s Rage for Pyongyang'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115327994264780340</id><published>2006-07-18T20:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T20:32:22.653-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Israel, the World and the Hounds of Damascus</title><content type='html'>Israel, the World and the Hounds of Damascus &lt;br /&gt;[7/18/2006]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference is made to the new crisis along the boarder of Israel and Lebanon: I do realize Israel has to pay attention to world opinion, even if it is always wrong, and against them, be it from the EU or UN, especially, who have no joy in supporting Israel, only after pressure from the US. But they are going to have to stop playing the Hezbollah and Hamas games and get down to business.  &lt;br /&gt;       We all know the world will criticize Israel no matter what, I mean, they’d like to see them underground, like Hama’s has said right along, and like Syria and Iran have done for fifty years.  I think Iran gives them 500-million dollars a year to see how many Jews they can kill a day. My solution to the problem is the same as Sarah Benchetrit, 57 who was hospitalized because of Hazbollah’s rockets, she says, “We should wipe Hazbollah off the map without pity and without listening to criticism from the rest of the world.”  Sarah I agree with you 100%, but I’d even take this a little farther: I’d wipe out Damascus and Tehran also, in the process, where Hazbollah received there 12,000-rockets, and get their money.  If you are going to kill a snake you don’t grab him by the tail, rather, you cut his head off; I know this works, I’ve done it in Alabama, back in 1978. Funny, the body still moves, but it is teeth less. &lt;br /&gt;       Lebanon must stomach the responsibility of harboring Hezbollah, like it or not. And if Hazbollah wants to hide in the city among the so called innocent, the so called innocent better get out their guns and shoot them, or if I was Israel, I’d not put my soldiers in harms way because citizens are allowing them to sleep in their houses.  If a robber was in my house, I’d not hesitate, and that is exactly what Hazbollah is.  You can’t expect Hazbollah to move on its own, they are getting paid to cause chaos for Israel, as Iran builds it nuclear capability, and Syria digs in for the long run.&lt;br /&gt;       Hassan Nasrallah promised more surprises, for Israel, that is a deadly threat, thus, I’d give them one long wakeup call, 24-hours a day until their underground bunkers collapse on top of them. You fight fire with fire.  I don’t believe the issue is with Israel winning the war, rather listening to world opinion—don’t.  This is the time now to blow the hell out of them, before the world forgets who started the war, and they all cry to the UN, and the UN puts pressure on the US, and the US has to demand Israel take some more crap from the Hounds of Damascus, lest they lose their $4-billion dollars a year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30616351-115327994264780340?l=miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/feeds/115327994264780340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30616351&amp;postID=115327994264780340' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115327994264780340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30616351/posts/default/115327994264780340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://miscellaneousarticlesbydennislsiluk.blogspot.com/2006/07/israel-world-and-hounds-of-damascus.html' title='Israel, the World and the Hounds of Damascus'/><author><name>dlsiluk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01338978181737083925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9f-SCykuYI/TJ00pn4TAsI/AAAAAAAAAVY/tv-BUQLVie0/S220/dad+painting.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30616351.post-115324147746830975</id><published>2006-07-18T09:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-18T09:54:30.586-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Selected Articles on the United Nations, in our Time by:  D.L. Siluk</title><content type='html'>Criminal Trials For The United Nations And The European Union [Part 1]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 13, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been my belief for a long time [and so I have stated it in articles and books] the United Nations [UN] and the European Union [EU], should be brought up for charges by the United States, if only to show the people of the United States the criminal charges and enabling they do for terrorism around the world, and the robbing of our treasury. The fraud they do the tax paying people of the United Status is a mortal sin. I do not say this lightly, these robbers at the United Nation's are a prying, envious, and jealous people of the third world majority, and it has worsen in the past twenty years to a point one has to be blind not to see it; from the Carter Administration through the Clinton, both advocates to this dilemma [and it goes back much farther]; Carter unknowingly, and Clinton and Hillary more than willing for some odd reason to allow the treasury to be used by the UN and EU for their piggy pay expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The assistance they give to the PLO with our money for weapons, is one of many crimes, as they reject money Israel wants for roads. By every means possible the UN assisted Saddam Hussein "Oil for Food," while the third world geezers stuffed their own pockets, and allowed the Iraqi people to suffer [As France and Germany hollowed over their contract losses].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN-secretary general is as anti-American as bin Laden, and has in my eyes assisted in the terrorist net-work, and he uses his half-witted power to drain the United States treasure for his own purposes, and his third world friends. That is why the world is hoping Kerry wins; Bush will not allow this to go on. Kerry like Clinton will allow the rape to continue. They have robbed, raided, and drained the United States Treasury for their expenses; they think our treasure is a common storage place or their diets, and it is their job to direct our funds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN and EU are the most morally corrupt deck of cards the globe has yet to create; far more cleaver than China and Russia. And are open enemies to us, we see this on a daily bases, grabbing every opportunity to assault us. Matter of fact, had we not spent so much time trying to pacify the UN and EU in the beginning of talks about war with Iraq, we would not have lost as many lives as we have now. But they do not care about America's dead, only about two- goofballs from France, who tried to soak their pickets with money, and are begging the United States to stop the war machine and let the Iraqis kill a few more Americans so they can get the two French men home, so the terrorist can go kidnap some more, and play the cycle for as long as it is playable. This strategy, that allowed them to have more time to regroup, killed our sons and daughters. And the Financial [FT] Times, has some stupid count down to a 1000-count of dead, how unprofessional - if not morbid; and in a column they wrote a few days ago, some columnist: stated withdrawing troops should start now. I'd like to invite that columnist to go live in Iraq [I might even consider paying his way, one way to, not back - to Iraq], once we withdraw all our troops [should it be soon]; you see he is most likely sitting in some fat leather chair in the FT office, safe as a honey bee, but go to war, moron and see what it is like. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The EU and UN should be on trail by the US courts for all the criminal charges that are linger out there. If you want specifics, and don't believe I don't have them, I just do not have space in this article to plant them, and all those saying "He's full of it," you should do some home work and see how full of it we all are by allowing this to continue. The fact is, we never did have any friends out there, and we all seem to be saying: "Look at all the friends we lost," we lost nothing we never had any that we never did pay for. And let me add a rock-hard note to this - beware: we owe them nothing, exactly, nothing, we pay for their defenses, not them paying for ours, and we best start using our treasure for our own security. Europe says they do not want our leadership, fine, let them have their own, and let them finance it. [Part II, Specifics, if I can find the energy.] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kofi Annan; The Assistant To The Antichrist [2]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 14, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Real differences with the US vs. the EU and UN] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For you poets out there you might appreciate the old poem by Mary Howitt [a part of it anyway] called: "The Spider and the Fly": &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Will you walk into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly...&lt;br /&gt;Up jumped the cunning spider, and fiercely held her fast.&lt;br /&gt;He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,&lt;br /&gt;Within his little parlor; but she ne'er came out again!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of me writing all I'm going to write, the little poem, or part of the poem sums up the UN and EU vs. the US. We have big differences; the UN and EU, vs. the United States and Kofi Annan the UN-secretary-general along with France [Mr. Chirac] know this. And it is imperative we do not leave our national security in their hands, in their greedy little third-world hands, in Europe's old Europe pockets. They want international relations to control our US Military and treasure, like in the Carter and Clinton eras. And when George W. Bush took office thank God he called a stop to it. The United Nations [UN] has lost its purpose, which was to settle disputes peacefully, not to supply the PLO or other countries with weapons for terrorism; consequently I feel they have lost their usefulness completely. It is not hard to see the UN and EU are not on the same road we are on, but want to control our road, none the less. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Security Counsel: the highest force on earth it has been called, for peace, and now all they are is bent on hogtying the United States, trying to get us to ask permission to go to war. The UN does not believe in "preempting terrorist," their policy is "hit after the fact" G. W. Bush, and his Flyboy-father of WWII know, you do not want to be hit first, like Clinton allowed on his watch as president. Had he taken action, 9/11 would have never occurred - it took time to prepare, had he taken action sooner it would not have occurred. The EU and UN want to take the "surprise," away from our military as to warn them before we get them, as we did with the five months delay in the Iraqi war, which caused many lives, not French or German lives, but American lives. Had we attacked as Bush said, we would not have given the enemy the time to set of their strategy. But France being one of the five permanent members on the Security Counsel insisted, and Germany being one of the 15-members in the rotating members, objected. And so do the French send flowers to the mothers of the dead American soldiers? No, they are only concerned about the French. Why are democracies subject to the Security Counsel, and all other countries not. As the UN and EU are talking terrorism, only the US is fighting it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah: Like the PLO, Hamas and al-Qaeda, Hezbollah is simply another terrorist group, but this one is interesting, it fly's the "UN" flag besides its flag which has an AK-47, Russian Rifle. So who is supporting who, the UN is supporting terrorism. Or so it looks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Assistant to the Antichrist: Annan is what I consider the birth pain of the Antichrist. He is for nuclear proliferation, looks the other way anyway, which to me means exactly that. He is best of friends with Arafat, the Godfather of terrorism; he and Hillary are two peas-in a pod. He wants the US to abide by the Geneva Convention, which the rest of the world violates at will, and he again looks the other way, and he says nothing. He is worse than the Nazis, and uses the UN flag to cover up all his misdealing. Mr. Kofi Annan has been around for a while [l997] as the head man at the UN, the king of kings he thinks he is, on the devils watch. If he gets the Nobel Peace Prize, God help us all. Mr. Bill Clinton loves him and would like to see him get it, probably because he was too lazy to get involved in world affairs, and let him run the show. Matter of fact, he made Clinton have American Soldiers in Eastern Europe take off their patches and put UN patches, and blue helmets. He tore the soldiers apart, and Veterans have not forgotten that. Clinton even signed the ICC agreement, but it didn't pass and Bush threw it in the garbage can where it belongs. That would have made all Americans subject to the World Court, and boy would the third-world love that, and Annan, and France, and China, and Russia - and lets not forget Kerry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The terrorist groups: Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO, Islamic Jihad, Al-Agsa [PLO], Martyrs Brigade, all friends to the UN, and who supports them? Annan. How? With American money, by checks given to them, $25,000-checks [through our friends, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia], and UN funded money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a like manner, is it not funny that Russia and China combined pay less than $35- million dollars to support the UN, and the United States pays 7-billion [22%] of its annual income. And those 17,000-employes of the UN get a salary totaling 1-billion. Now who is paying this: American tax payers, mostly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary Robinson, like Hillary Clinton both believe the PLO's cause is just, and therefore, so is suicide bombers, and therefore, so is the $25,000 dollars they are giving to the families that lose a lost one. We have so many forces working against us, our own kind, plus our friends, so called friends it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. But the good guys are not in the EU or UN; actually they have both lost their usefulness as far as I can see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iraq. I want to repeat myself a bit. Iraq, because of the delay of our war in Iraq - delay of five months due to Germany, France and the UN [and after Iraq violated the UN rules for the 18th time], because of this it allowed the enemy, the insurgency in Iraq to develop. That is right next to saying, and I firmly believe it, Germany and France killed our American boys in uniform, put them in their coffins - put them in harms way. Had we went to war, and not warned them, given them time, which no Army should [surprise and deception, is a virtue for an Army at war, and hitting them in their weak area] we would not have the Financial Times exploding the 1000th soldier dead in Iraq. Many things are forgivable but this is down right savagery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;France is so prancing around as if it is a world power and Germany is piggybacking them. Listen up, little Israel could take over all of Europe tomorrow should the United States evacuate and look the other way, and we should leave Europe, we spend 40-billion dollars on their defense, and it does us no good, it is of no value anymore. While they build their economies, we support their defenses. We should shut down the UN and NATO tomorrow, and save a bundle of money, and use it where it is needed, in Iraq; I do believe the people in Iraq and Afghanistan would appreciate it better. Mr. Annan would go crazy though. Everyone thinks if Bush stays in office we will have another war. Listen up, we are at war, and it is because of such people as Carter and Clinton. They gave the world a message that the United States was for sale at a cheep price, and people like Mr. Annan grabbed the opportunity, as did the ruling elements of the UN which just happens to be the third-world countries now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The General Assembly: is a worthless, toothless 191-member assembly at the United Nations that get fed and put to sleep every night on American dollars, and does nothing. Russia knows this and so does the CIA. They don't even know what their countries want, and vote like our emotional biased judges here in Minnesota, activist judges, and now we got activist UN members. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton: I keep coming back to him and Annan because along with Arafat, they are the world's three stooges. That is to say, they play the role, but are smart not to let on to the world stage their cleverness; Clinton, if I was him, I'd not sleep a night the rest of my life for killing all our American boys. Yes, he is responsible, he did nothing when the WTC was bombed in l993, and nothing when the Saudi Tower was hit in l996; and nothing when our embassy was hit in Africa in 2000. And had a chance to kill bin Laden, and called off the raid after mulling over it for hours on end. And then he handed Haiti and Kosovo over to the UN, with American troops under them. He did very little when the USS Cole was attacked. What was this guy thinking? He was looking for the UN flag I think; what a president. Should Kerry get in, we will have the third president who feels the UN is our savior, and we may possible not recover this time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Torture: a note on our enemy, our used to be enemy, Iraq. The UN, Annan, forgot to mention the abuse, torture and down right murder of Americans in the Iraqi war - American Prisoners; he only picks our dirty linens and shows them to the world. We were wrong to torture the people, but the Iraqi soldiers did not play chess with the Americans either, or bring them McDonalds. And had I been there and seen what they did to my fellow comrades, I might have gone a little crazy and did the same thing. I hope I would not have, but under stress one does not always play by the rules, as Mr. Annan would like Israel and America to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inclosing, let's hope the UN does not take over the Internet, for they are having a meeting on that very subject soon; also,let me say the UN secretary General is not for America, and neither is the EU, and we've always knew Russia and China wasn't, that hasn't changed either. We really do not need a UN that doesn't function, or EU that at every corner is trying to bring us to our knees. Let them go and disband NATO. This is not isolationism; it is getting our priorities back into focus. We will never please these people unless we allow them to rape us, and when they do, they will herd us around like cows. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 3; Secrets [Allies And Our Dear Friends] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 15, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a guy write me today, he was upset I wrote about our dear and noble United Nations the way I did [I told him I hadn't even started], didn't know crap about what was going on is the reality of it; he thought I shouldn't know, because he didn't know; what an uninformed goofball. I told him to go take some time and check it out, then come back and tell me what is and what isn't the truth; he's too lazy to do the work, just the mouthing off - figures so. But you know, the UN knows most Americans like this goofball is uninformed, and that is exactly what they prey on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my 3rd article related to our Allies and the United Nations. And I hope my last. I think it was yesterday [9/12/04] North Korea had a blast, people think it was nuclear. It wouldn't surprise me. Maybe my email friend knows about this, maybe not. When I was in Vietnam, they blew up a huge Ammo Dump, and when they hit it perfect, it shook the whole peninsula, and threw me six feet in the air, and there was a mushroom above my head. So I think this will fit into the premise of my article. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been predicted at he Pentagon that between 2008-2015, we will be attacked [go to nuclear war] with China. That they will have the capability to do so; they should have they stole it from us. I do believe our friends and foes, allies want to bring the USA down to its knees, if I am wrong, then why is all this happening, I shall explain. If I write any more articles on this subject, I might just as well write a book on it. Anyhow...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much greed out there that our allies lost the motive for ethics, principles and loyalty; now having said that I want to present a few facts, and I hope the deadhead, the goofball is reading this: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) What weapons are being used by the Iraqi insurgents to kill our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan? Does my email friend know? How about French, German and Russian made weapons, if you don't believe me, go check it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) How does al Qaeda get their arms? The CIA says: China, for one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) The EU supplies arms to: Iran, Syria and North Korea [terrorist nations]. And Eric Linder, that is not what you call Bull-sh**, it is fact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point: we should all know by now [but I doubt Eric does], France and Russia were cooperating with Saddam up unto the day the war broke out, and which I talked about in the second article on these less than loyal friends that, Saddam exploited with the UN's knowledge, the "Oil for Food," program. Matter of fact, they filled their pockets with payoff money close to 5-billon dollars from Iraq. And Iraq got close to 6-billion from pumping oil into Syria and Lebanon illegally, how else could Saddam buy 48 - palaces? Not by collecting taxes, no one has a job over there but his henchmen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Point: The big three arms suppliers are Russia, China and France, in the world of supplying Iraq. They supplied them with 12- different armaments. France with 120,000 items. China about 400,000 items, and Russia, how about 13-million. These armaments are killing American soldiers. And the UN knows about it Eric, check it out. Actually 17-countries are supplying the culprits, our so-called friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran, Libya, Syria and North Korea received a large amount of assistance from guess who: our friends, Germany and France. So the bullets in the heads of our sons and daughters came from our friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations gave Iraq 12-years of appeasement, which did nothing to stop the floating in of weapons, and oil for weapons. Kofi Annan is the Assistant to the Antichrist to blame for this. Iraq skimmed about 6-billion through this oil smuggling gimmick, and five billion kickbacks for the UN. Eric's choice, the UN, he can not believe they'd do such a think, or else he thinks the rest of the world is as misinformed as he is. It was not "Food for Oil," but rather, "Food for Palaces and weapons."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syria continues to seek CW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Syria has a stockpile of nerve agents sarin in Damascus, and are working with the Russians with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Western European countries are a main source for missile training for North Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next attack on the United States will most likely be with WMD, and to be honest I didn't have to read any reports on this to figure it out, but that is what the CIA figures, and I think they are doing a good job, and not getting any credit, as even is the FBI. Bush and his team. When it comes Eric, you can say: he told me so, of course it will be to late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the war settled down in Afghanistan, General Franks disclosed to the United States Government [if anyone was listening] al Queda was developing deadly chemicals, biological and nuclear weapons, thus, they found the paper trail, and guess what, the Islamic terrorist have them now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuba has nuclear Energy source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran-Russia is under missile developmental stages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;China is selling Iran Chemical weapons [2004]; or was they may have stopped since we have discovered it. But after they stole our technological nuclear launch capability, they sold it to Pakistan, as we now know; they have it, and have threatened India with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Germany is selling Iran military aircraft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN allows Libya to violate sanctions by buying computer parts in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Belarus Arms being sold to Iran. Wake up Eric wake up before it is too late, and all those folks out there like you. I hope Bush gets in, but whom ever makes it, I hope is vigilant enough to see this needless UN and EU on our backs, we should be tired of carrying them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secrets of the Arms Selling &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I think I do not know any secrets, if I know them, they are available to be found. But after I research these things out, I'm always surprised, and think: gee, it was a secret; up to the day I found it out it seemed so. Now before I get into this area I need to clarify something: I know and you know, the US is the biggest sales of arms in the world, we sell about 40-billion worth of arms a year, compared to Russia and France, who sell about $30-billion together, and Germany and England who sell about $10-billion combined, thus we sell about the same as the top four-arms seller I grant you that. But we sell it to our friends, our allies, not the terrorist, that is the big difference, and Europe will suffer for that, for the terrorist will use what the bought from them, on them. They have tired already to use poison on them, and failed, they may not next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was right when Mr. Rumsfeld implied, it was not time to relax on this war called "terrorism."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was right when Zebari, an Iraqi Kurd addressed the UN and told them they had failed to provide peace and security, that is why the US had to step in; had it been for the UN to continue, Afghanistan would still be under the terrorist rulership, as would Iraq. If the world cannot turn to the UN who else, surely not the EU, they can be conquered overnight by Israel, they play the superpower role, but are far from one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm surprised [Israel] takes so much crap from the PLO, if I was Sharon; I'd drive the terrorist right to the Red Sea. When three countries attack one country, l967-l972, and you win the war, just like in any other country, the land you conquered, is yours. But for some odd reason, the UN feels along with others, it is their gift to the PLO to give. And why should we support them, because they are terrorist that is why. If Russia tried to take Alaska away, we'd fight. If France tried to take everything back west of the Mississippi, we'd fight. If England tired to take back the 13-colonies, we'd fight. So why is Israel any different? Three bullies tried to whip Israel, and lost, it is booty. The land we are talking about does not belong to the EU, or UN or US, it belongs to Israel. And to be quite frank, Israel has a lot more hidden weapons than humanity knows about, and I dare say, enough to fight even Russia, if need be. And they will have to soon, and are getting prepared. Like Taiwan, China will try to take it, and Taiwan needs to get some assistance in the near future or be like Tibet, sink into a gofer holes and get sucked out by the Chinese and killed like mongooses would. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also know some are going to say: "Well, America in the l980's sold or gave weapons to Iraq to fight against Iran." And they'd be right. And so we did some stupid stuff ourselves, but this is the 21st Century, and things area more critical. We cannot afford to sell to our enemies, or Islamic countries. It should also be noted, a lot of money going to the terrorist comes from drug trafficking. And the future is a bit bleak, I'd say, with al-Qaeda having poison gases ready now to use will use them soon, and cyanides - poisons for food and water, will be used; also, mustard and nerve gas, ricin; they have it all available, it is just: when, where and how. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Closing Statement: Islam has never been told, "salvation and the pleasures of paradise" do not go hand in hand; one belongs to God, the other to Satan. This they will find out when they wake up from their suicide bombings, wakeup to find they are in the mosque of hate filled with demonic beings. I suggest they put on their track shoes. But until then, earth must deal with these creatures, for massive causalities will be expected from Islam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 4; [Mini-Babylon] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 16, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will be my 4th article [or now you can call it: part IV, I suppose] related to the United Nations. Right when I think I had said all I wanted to say on the subject, I find, I out guessed myself, there is plenty more. Well, I will try to put it to rest after this article, but I got a few emails that reinforced the fact, the fact I needed to write this one, for it is I or someone else needs to bring to the surface the corruption of the United Nations. Someone asked what my qualifications were. You know, that is really funny, what I would ask is: "That is some pretty heavy information you are providing, is it fiction or true," and I wouldn't wait for an answer, if it really mattered, I'd go check it out. But you get the goofballs with the concerned. The goofballs are not concerned about, if my information is right on, rather if I have a right to publish it. Listen up Goofballs; if what I write to you is new, and astonishing, and unbelievable, go check it out. I did my homework, now you go do yours. And what would make me qualified? Twenty degrees in political science [or my three degrees]? How about working at the United Nations [I was there once], or how about having a friend there [I have one], or how about reading newspapers, books magazines? How about all of the above? People get mad at the messenger: get mad at the message and do something about it, or stay a goofball all your life. I do not really spend much time with these firecrackers, they got really nothing to say but gobbolegook, but it is interesting to see how many are misinformed, and get mad that I write what is actually happening. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is off balance, and the United Nations is the one trying to keep it that way. The neoconservatives [liken to Kerry, Carter, Clinton, excreta.), has joined the UN who has tried to explain among themselves the need for the United States not to dominate the world, preferring our US Military to be under their wings, so the UN can dominate. Should this happen, as Clinton would like, and Kerry, we will be puppets on a string for them. And another thing I want to say before I get into the bulk of this article, Vienna is right by not wanting Turkey into the EU. I've been to Asia Minor [and to the UN, where they read papers all day, and send email back and forth to their friends], and the Turkish people are fine people, but this is the 21st Century, and Islam would live to baptize Europe into their mosque, the hard way. I personally hope they do, like Bush, but that is out of revenge, and so I should retract that statement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emily Dickinson, a great poet once wrote: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Surgeons must be very careful&lt;br /&gt;When they take the knife!&lt;br /&gt;Underneath their fine incisions&lt;br /&gt;Stirs the culprit,--life!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Underneath the UN banner, is nothing but stirred up culprits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Iraq has lost about 30,000-sodiers, and about 8,000 civilians, in the most recent war with America, I know, we don't hear about that so much [only our 1000-lives taken by the Iraqis], not sure why, it only says we are cleaning house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Code Falcon, is a project by which the US will be able to send non-nuclear missiles to any country in the world by 2010 AD, this is kind of a secret I suppose, in that, the media has not hyped it up, yet it is available information if you know where to look. In any case, I think this is great, not negative, where the neoconsertives publishes it as. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) The Bush policy will allow Christian groups (for were we not founded on Christianity - yes) to compete equally with secular groups, the UN does not like this; as if we belong to the EU, or should allow the UN to make our policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Did you know India pays less than 1-million dollars to the UN, and has more personnel than most other countries on the payroll? Why not, the US puts in 7-billion, get on the payroll boys. Thus, who is paying Annan's salary, you and me? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an average of three persons for every job at the United Nations, and the United States is pacifying this, and to blame for allowing this corruption to go on. That is, when you pay 22% of the bill, you should have 22% of the say, not 1%. And for some odd reason we keep turning our heads the other way, and pay, pay, and pay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suggestion: the way to bring about reform is to insure no employee is allowed to work for more than 10-years in any UN position, or agency, and to tie the number of staff from any country to its contributions to the UN system. I bet the UN- millionaires club would not like that to happen, did you know they have one. Oh yes, big time, guess who is the head man? Mr. Annan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to 9/11, a few months prior, I was at the UN, and it is true, they all read newspapers, more than work, and email half the day long, and write books. The big question I think for the USA is this in a nut shell: Is there a return for the United States on its investment? A question that every company asks, we should ask, to me there is not. We are paying people to join the UN-Millionaires club. We are allowing China, Russia and France to sky on us in New York. Did you know that the UN Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPE) has over 25-billion dollars in it, not Francs, or Euros, but dollars! And our SSAN-fund is dwindling [take our 7-billion and put it into the Social Security Fund]. A gift from the American tax payers: to the goofballs out there, go check it out; I will even give you its website: www.unjspf.org ; you can't ask more than that now can you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN-60-years ago was founded, or in l945, next year it will be sixty years old. I was born in l947, so it is two years older than I. Should I ever do a movie or book on this subject, "The United Nations," [Mini Babylon], it would be a "Fahrenheit 911," like Mike Moron's books, I mean, Moore. He is becoming a movie star I see, with the three stooges: Penn, Robinson, and Eastwood, Eastwood has joined the clan; Sharon S. belongs in it too, but she's a lady, and like the Spice Girls, and Whoopi Goldberg, seem to be followers more than leaders. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again I have to say, I must blame the US for its contributions to the UN's confusion by giving it so much money [I would even be tempted], they don't know what to do with it all so they all live the life of kings. This fraud is the biggest scandal in US history; and deserves a Tony Award. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A) If an employee at the UN spends 10-years in an organization, and is professional, s/he will produce a million dollar bank account, most likely, have a free housing allotment, and a free gas card. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B) Mr. Kofi Annan, now 66-years old, been at the UN since l962, is the most corrupt of the lot. But lets not forget Dr. Shashi Tharoor, from India (under-security general) I like them big titles, the bigger the title, the more justification for the $$$$'s. He is 48-years old, earns $180,000 a year; and he gets a free house and gas, and he sits at his desk and writes books. Who is paying him: it isn't coming from India's treasury, they put their money into the nuclear program, so it is you, the Americans. Give him a giggle, on me, tell him I said to get off his dead behind and do some work: &lt;br /&gt;www.shashitnaroor.com. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't like "if's" or "buts", but I'll produce one, in this closing statement: if I was president of the US, and I would not want to be, the first thing that I would go do - besides get rid of the goofballs - is close the UN down. I would dismantle it tomorrow, and let Washington debate whatever they seem to debate at the UN at the Nations Capitol. Then I'd turn the UN building into condos, and sell them; then I'd pay back Americans for all the loose change they had to pay these third world money hogs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 10; The Devil's Parlor &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 23, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, somehow I think this article is going to be less substance and more attitude; I listened to John Kerry on the David Letterman Show [9/20/04], and if he didn't sound like a fairy, I'm not sure what [and so I've heard rumor to that affect anyhow]. He looked like Bucky-the-beaver. One difference between him and Goerge W. Bush is he can lie better. This guy has just not anything, I mean nothing that brings out any will in me to vote his way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I listened to Bush at the General Assemble at the United Nations speak [9/21/04]; and I was disappointed. The reason being, he gave too much credit to the UN and NATO for helping in Iraq. What are they doing? The UN has 20% of what they should have there for the coming elections, and complain they can't hold elections in January; thus, they create the problem, and then complain to the US, throw it at the US, as they had intended to in the first place saying they created the problems; and NATO, our 40-billion financial burden is prepping-up for doing some minimal training in and for Iraq, which France and its allies are rejecting [Germany and Spain]. Let's get it straight Mr. Bush, how can I support you when you're giving credit where credit is not due. I was actually stunned to hear you credit these tax eating monsters. Take the funds out of Europe and the manpower; send it to Iraq, problem solved for NATO and the UN, and the elections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Kofi Annan, he spoke of course at the UN today, and all day long. He said the PLO is killing Israelites, and Israelites are destroying Palestine homes. He got that one right, I was shocked. I thought after I heard that, maybe there is hope for this guy. He said then, "All have a duty to restore...respect...No one above the law." That means you also Mr. Annan; he neglected that, and left out the prestigious United Nations, as if it was steady and within its own law, far from the truth; liar, liar, and so forth. He is worse than Kerry and Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also listened to a woman who wrote a book on the United Nations, she was on the radio today, I think it was FM 93, can't remember for sure, but she was taking phone calls, and I told myself - after listening for about half an hour - she's not doing very well answering the questions concerning the United Nations, other than saying it is a big organization and as one, one has to look at than when evaluating its missions, etc., so for and so on. Then I said to myself, I'd not go on the radio, or had never thought about it, simply because I'm sure I'd not be all that good with the answers, but listening to her, I'd have done great, and she got a book out; all she really was, was an apologist for the UN's incompetence. Oh well; not sure why we got to apologize for NATO, or the UN, or for anyone. If you screw up, just say so, if not good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush wants to put more money into a new committee at the UN, for assisting democracies, and called on the world nations to assist. Again, he disappointed me. First you got to clean house, for god-sake, how much money do we got to give these unmotivated chumps - we already give them 7-billion for running to the whore houses over in Budapest. Yet I still feel Bush is the right man for office, but he got to be Bush, not a fairy, I mean, not like Kerry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, I think it's been going on since l994, this North Korea thing on nuclear weapons. It has been almost [98.5%] proven, North Korea has eight [8] nukes. Instead of begging these jerks to stop, and having them blackmail us, just give Japan and Taiwan all the nukes they can handle, and watch China get involved: you see when the equation changes, so does the attitude. China doesn't mind North Korea having them, because they are on China's side. And Russia does not mind Iran having them, Iran is on Russia's side; so lets change the equation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 11; [Goofballs Galore - General Assembly] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 24, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[The Woman] Got an email from a woman today, Marge [another Jane Fonda] somehow I can't preannounce her last name yet. She was mad because I sounded on the United Nations, and she implied I didn't talk enough on my doings in Vietnam that I must had been drunk all the time (she should had read some of my other articles had she really been interested). I emailed her back, wasn't sure what me being in Vietnam had to do with it [she sure weasn't there, all she did was read about it with whomever], but she got the drunk part right, I sure was, like Kerry [maybe not as much, maybe more] - but I wasn't high like he was on dope everyday; and I didn't get a Purple Heart for any scratches I may have gotten - I guess it is ok to sound on anyone she doesn't like but the ones she does like, its forbidden; I just didn't put on any bandages like John Kerry in Vietnam and parade around: look at me, look how hurt I am; his own team from Vietnam, about eight of them will not support him for president, that is saying something. She's mad because she happens to be in the Goofball catagory. It's ok honey, just got to live with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think she's having a hard time believing the United Nations would be subject to any wrong doings, like Kerry. Not sure where she's from, Never-Never Land I think. For some odd reason she thinks I have to conform to her literately standards; let me remained her in the USA we have what is called the First Amendment - for now, with Kerry we may lose that also. And she didn't like that I used the word "African," I suggested she go buy a dictionary, and look at the subject matter. And last but not least, she thinks I lust after money or hate women or both. Not sure in what order. I like money and I like women. I'm not gay if that is what she was inferring to. And I don't hate women because they have money, all the more power to them. And I don't hate Kofi Annan because he is African - it's a fact; I don't hate him anymore than he hates me being an American; for that is what I am. But before I get into this new area of the United Nations, I just wanted to share Marge's provocative email: for her life is centered evidently on her illusions, not reality. Annan cuts the US down almost daily; David Letterman and Jay Leno cut the President down almost daily, she should be protesting them, but she protests me - because I cut down the opposite. Good show, like I've always said, there are enough goofballs out there to fill the Mississippi. It's a two way highway your on Marge, not a oneway. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran Testing the Water: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been some word-plucking from the Iranian media, concerning the diplomats; particularly the ones negotiating with the IAEA; they feel we American's [not anyone else, like the EU or UN], will not be happy until we deprive Iran of Nuclear Weapons; I thought this was a world goal. They know the issue will not be resolved in November, and they know we are considering striking them, or Israel, I'd had hit them log ago. By the time the UN and EU get going, we will not have to talk anymore they will have the weapons. And around the corner Syria is picking up on this, and of course, North Korea has had them since 1994, and now Brazil, all because the UN and EU are farting around. We might just as well let them have them, since the UN and EU don't care; and load Japan and Taiwan up with as many nukes as possible, they will need them. You see Russia wants Iran to have them, as China wants North Korea to have them, they just don't want anyone else to have them, pro-American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh we are fighting a war way beyond the grips of the cold war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran Testing the Nukes: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iran feels the passage of the most recent bill, and/or any bills are illegal and barbarous concerning their right to have nuclear weapons, and that the IAEA is against Iranian nuclear technology, Mr. Musavian, the orator of the Iranian delegation, said: "From the beginning of the crisis, we have insisted that Iran's right to exploit nuclear technology in peaceful ways must [be] recognized, and today the three European countries have obviously and officially recognized all Iran's rights according to clause four of the statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency"! What is he talking about: rights, rights to use nuclear weapons [he implies to only have them]? So what concession has been made by the Europeans? They underestimate the Iran is the essence of it. But Iran is trying to convey to their people Europe will go along with their show, as will the United Nations, it is the bad guys, the US they need to fight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"[From Iran] ...regarding yesterday's resolution of the board of governors, if Iran softens its position on its legitimate rights and agrees to admit and implement the resolution, America and its allies will not need to refer the dossier to the UN Security Council because what they seek to achieve by doing so will be achieved by Iran's acceptance of the resolution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't they intend to deprive the Islamic Republic of Iran of nuclear technology?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently our respected leaders have forgotten that America and her allies have frequently said that their final goal is to completely deprive Iran of nuclear activities, and during the last two years they have violated all international rules, the NPT, and statute of the IAEA, and safeguard agreements in order to achieve their objectives. Therefore, are we not simple-minded..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I see U.S. Ambassador John Danforth greeted Secretary-General Kofi Annan with a congenial "Kofi!" at the start of the day; are we playing games here, with our diplomatic obsequiousness of "Mr. Secretary-General." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- I see Annan ringing the Japanese Peace Bell, too bad he doesn't adhere to it, while watching all the people die in Sudan. The US is the only one I hear condemning them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Haiti where I have been [some years ago] pleaded for help with their most recent storm; in addition, speakers expressed their compassion and outrage over the attack of a school in Russia this month that led to the killing of more than over three hundred people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Annan summed up the guts of the General Assembly, during a lunch with world leaders that almost sat on top of one another, around tables, at the Delegates Lounge. He toasted to world peace and said in essence, the "rifts" remaining over the Iraq war will heal. Yet he will not lift a finger to assist; a two-faced African; who loves money and women; not that I blame him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 12; [Dr. Wolfgang Hoffmman: CTBTO] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Sept. 25, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His wish is coming true, he is a learned man, a man of importance, a rich man, a man of pleasure, and a man that will do anything to stay in that position. For those who do not know him he is: Executive Secretary of the CTBTO Preparatory Commission, Dr. Wolfgang Hoffmman. A big title, and as I have mentioned before, the bigger, the richer; being rich is better than being poor, I'm sure he'd agree with that. But who is he: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a refugee from Eastern Europe (Sudaten German) and endured a childhood of hunger, poverty and social exclusion but he vowed to get out of it and become rich; and good for him, he achieved his goal. But with every treasure and effort, sometimes we got to step on people, its part of the compensation for being poor at one time. But I'm getting ahead of myself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now he compensates by overeating (pork) and drinking beer - I used to like beer, but it got me in trouble, like it is getting him in trouble. I'm sure he says something like this: we are mortal and time is like a puff of wind, suddenly we are gone, dead, so do it now. An old philosophy from the days of Gilgamish, King of Uruk; he actually, kind of actually, reminds me of Gilgamish. I shall explain. He personifies the seven deadly sins [like Gilgamesh, read the epic if you wish to know more of him] and has a voracious appetite for food, sex, money and power; not sure in what order. He hates people who come from a middle class or rich background. Dr. Hoffmann has visited more countries than the Pope and has had sex with more persons than Ron Jeremy. It is no secret to his staff, or amongst the UN as a whole his activities. Furthermore, He grants promotions to both men and women in return for sex. He is a great admirer of Adolph Hitler and Daniela Rozgonova is his mistress. He spares no opportunity to ridicule President George W. Bush and his Administration. He is a man who totally lacks human compassion and emotional intelligence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks he has a good sense of humor but as Mark Twain once said: "A German joke is no laughing matter." Physically he looks like he was designed by a horde of elves; this short fat, pink faced man who walks around in a bowtie. He is a racist of the first order and is one of the most insecure persons in the United Nations. Unless Dr. Hoffmann is not removed by the U.S. very soon he will continue his anti-American activities. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wolfgang Hoffmann, born 27 October 1935, married, two children, German national, University and State law degrees and a Doctorate in International Law; Mr. Hoffmann entered the German Foreign Service in 1965. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Postings to the: Permanent Mission in Geneva from 1965 - 1966; Consulate General in New York from 1967 - 1970; Embassy in Ankara from 1973 - 1977; Permanent Mission in Vienna from 1981 - 1985; Embassy in London from 1985 - 1988; Permanent Representative of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva from 1993 - 1997. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Foreign Office in Bonn Dr. Hoffmann served as: Desk Officer for the Indian subcontinent from 1970 - 1973 Deputy Head of the Science Division from 1977 - 1981; Head of the Environment Division from 1988 - 1993; since March 1997 Mr. Hoffmann serves as the Executive; Secretary of the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO PrepCom) in Vienna. www.ctbto.org &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How we got all these overpaid anti-American in the United Nations, and being paid with American dollars is beyond me. But I hope Bush is restored to office, and let's start with getting Kofi Annan out off or payroll and then Hoffmann, and then his girlfriend. It is like paying someone to sit down and slap you in the face, then pay him for doing a good job at it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 17; Special Report [Timothy E. Writh] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 5, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timothy E. Wirth, president, UN Foundation can't figure it out why the United Nations is getting so much bad public attention. If he can not figure that out he needs to be replaced also. He needs to review articles and address them; we need a foundation the world can trust, not one filled with spies trying to drain the United States, bad mouth them at ever corner, take the tax money out of the mouths of Americas. It is like a bad wife, or useless one, you're better with none, than with one that works against you. Timothy is simply trying to keep his job, so I don't blame him for shooting his mouth off, I'd do the same if I was starving, but I don't get paid for this article, so you can see where I'm coming from, its not a job, it's a duty; or call it a contribution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take out the US and Japan and they'd go broke, that is 42% of their wages, and we get very little in return. Not a very good investment. I think we can do better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. John R. Bolton feels the same way from what hear and read. He questions the UN's IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency. Is this Timothy - one of those mishaps where "we are all wrong, and you're right," things? Must be, because I'm not alone on this; anyhow, what I was about to say, was Marion Baillot, says they are "...inefficient against nuclear proliferation..." exactly what we are paying the group to do. Now if I was inefficient, I'd not have a bank account, and whomever I worked for - after a while, if they kept me on the payroll, would go bankrupt, exactly what I am saying about the United Nations, you are bankrupt, the only thing carrying you from day to day is the American and Japanese tax payers. The rest of the world pay so little they don't count; that includes China who pays little and gets much, and Russia with all its oil, can't figure out how these two clowns get away with paying next to nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why doesn't the UN put suicide bombings, under the/or into the "crimes against humanity," because they are mostly centered toward Jews, that is another dilemma I find with the UN. If it wasn't for the US, the United Nations and its silly court system, would have them all hung from trees. As would the EU; and don't look so surprised, they all know it, except us Americans, we seem to be in the fog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Cuban spokesman said President Roosevelt handcuffed the UN and so does President Bush. He would have us let Saddam go and his Henchman so they could kill at will the citizens of Iraq, but then, the spokesman was being paid by whom other than a dictator like Saddam, Castro. So we let the slime talk at the UN, against us, and we listen, but be that as it may, they don't pay a dime, yet the UN let's them go play pool, use the computers, and the long distance phone calls, it's on the tax payers of Japan and America - not on Annan's country in Africa that gets a lot and pays if anything, a child could count it. So yes, a few things get me upset about the United Nations, as it should you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 23; [New World Order] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 11, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;New World Order &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of us have heard - now, for awhile of this New World Order - that it was/or is in the making, was/ and now is coming; we all heard of it for a while now - or should have, this so called New World Order [I repeat myself to insure you get this message]. I started reading about it in, or around l983, along with some of the first books I read about Globalism. This whole concept was a new world for me back then; it has been in the making though for over two-hundred years, for a long time. But Reagan and the Pope [John Paul II] interrupted its finalization. But I'm getting ahead of myself again; so the date has/was moved up to around 2010+ for it to be fully developed. France is one of the main pushers of this new order, and it actually did originate in England long before I was born, and the elite of Oxford, had their worksheets working on this concept. What we see in this developing New World Order, which the Pope has/or is against, really against; what we see is, in addition to the Popes agitation with this, a conspiracy to force the US into this dangerous World Government. Thus, we got the EU and the UN working together on this; along with other groups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Romans 12, it says in so many words [for us Christians, anyways]: do not conform to this world; there is good reason for that, we are being brought into Lucifer's/Satan's Road Map - France's Glory, and America's demise. The Counsel on Foreign Affairs is involved with this ongoing conspiracy. As Mr. Goodwater's book indicates, the Trilateral Commission is one of the agent's against America with this concept. In the book of Revelation, Chapter 17, we see the EU/revised Roman Empire taking hold of the world by force or dialogue: which ever works. The Club of Rome was for this world order also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So these are dangerous times, and many forces are working against us, as Americans and Christians. But as it says in the bible: let not your heart be troubled, the Lord will be coming with thousands of his saints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush has resisted this movement also, but Kerry has not. When it comes about, we will be simply part of a worldwide computer chip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;Anti-Semitic &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone had mentioned to me yesterday the name Professor Norman G. Finkelstein. Born 1953, went to the University that F. Scott Fitzgerald went to, whom lived but four blocks from my apartment building I used to own; both went to an Ivey League college. Scott's books, of which I read most, and have most first editions, have more mistakes in them than my books have; and gee I only went to the University of Minnesota, the University of Maryland, the Troy State University (part of the University of Alabama system); a theological seminary [6-months], and est., so when I hear that, I'm almost impressed, but then when I check out his essays I'm not all that impressed, I think: where did all the brain power go; I mean logic and common sense, which is not all that common nowadays. But I thank this old dinosaur for this knowledgeable information on this guy called Norman, although I do not agree with much of his circular discussions, the dinosaur, but he makes more sense than Norman, and is less anti-Semitic (I think). I guess I look at what people say, and then what they do. And most say it is not true, and go do the very thing they are accused of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'm getting a little off track, what I wanted to bring to surface was of course the United Nations anti-Semitic character. Now I do realize most of us know there is an ardent desire in the UN, with/by most nations to cripple Israel, if they could (they would). It is not new, and even Kofi Annan is well known for his hate in this area. So let's not pretend there is not a snake running loose in the halls of the UN after little Israel, Mr. UN. That is why Israel has to be careful, least they are eaten alive by the UN snakes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But anyhow, why is it that over half of the UN's emergency meetings end up condemning Israel? I mean that is a big amount. Also, why is it that Israel is the only, I mean only, only, only - nation in the world, disqualified from joining the Security Counsel Membership? Yes, yes, the snakes have infested the halls with Semitic poisons. I realize I will not change a thing on this earth, but at least it should be down right clear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From what I've read, and I have not read all that much, Norman is not for the Jew, and as far as I can see he is an outcast Jew. But that is his right, or racket; however it comes to be. He feels Israel has a Gestapo type security system. If I was living in Israel, next to the PLO, I'd have more then a Gestapo type system in place, I'd had built that wall mighty quick; I'd had built it twenty-five years ago. Matter of fact, I'd not had let the PLO move in, in the first place, after they got kicked out of Jordan, and Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. I mean, when your own kind do not want you around, you need a Gestapo type system in place, if you want to see the sun rise tomorrow anyways. This guy Norman also believes in armed resistance, but on the other hand I read a statement, he'd prefer dialogue, but then don't they all say that. I'm sure the PLO is happy to have a Jew who has published four books - it sounds like - against Zionism. It makes their day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You would think, since the Middle East has 600-times the geographical land mass as Israel, that someone would give the PLO a little land as to build their nation on. But of course, that is not the purpose is it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 24; [Zionism/Lucifer/Vienna's UN] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 11, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;Lucifer (the angel with the light)/Zionism &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is hard to figure where to start with all this UN-stuff, but wherever I start you can rest assure, the carrier of light, the angel of light has been there and the God of the air. If you look in the bible you will see he is none other than Lucifer, now called Satan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was corrected by Henk [Destree]; he said Zionism (said to me) is not the Jewish Movement, as I implied in my article, referring to the Lobby in Washington. Fetishism, I could use, I suppose. So lets, or let me look at this, how I could have screwed this all up so bad. I think what he is trying to tell me is that you can be a Jew, live in Israel and not be in the "movement," or "advancing of the Jewish National State of Israel." I can figure this out because one of the carriers of light against Zionism is none other then Professor Norman G. Finkelstein. But the truth of the matter is they normally go hand in hand. But for confusion sake - as Finkelstein would surely agree with, Henk (I think) since Norman has been kicked out of the good graces of the Jewish state, and Zionism, and Israel, we can separate them, but they are simply layers; so Charles, I'm sorry if I confused the swordsmen who would wish to cut off the heads of Zionist and not the heads of Jews. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;Vienna's UN &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CTBTO-PTS Executive Secretary Dr. Wolfgang Hoffmann hosted a breakfast meeting on 8th October at the Vienna International Center for a group of Ambassadors mainly Europeans who support his stay in this post as long as he desires. Something tells me he is rounding up all the folks he can muster to keep his job. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a meeting held yesterday the European Union (EU/Satan's carrier of light) under the current Presidency of the Netherlands proposed the postponement of the vote to elect his successor till June 2005 so that the heads of the other Vienna-based international organizations, the IAEA and UNIDO can also be held and states and regional groups can nominate common candidates. This move has been opposed by the developing states as it is a clear ploy by Dr. Hoffmann to extend his stay and continue to abuse his position. The original vote was to be held on Friday, 8th October 2004. But you can't blame him can you, get all you can while you can. And he has put so much work into his deception, I mean, why not reap the rewards as long as he can, so I think he feels. But even he will only be used long enough by the Angel of Light, to satisfy his needs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Hoffmann is planning another luxury trip (he loves to travel ((getting some sun, sand and sex)) this time to eight states: South Asia included, Bhutan, India and Pakistan which have not signed the CTBT and to Nepal and Sri Lanka which have not ratified it. Afghanistan, Bangladesh and the Maldives have ratified it of course. Hoffmann will also be at the UNGA in New York in late October to address the First Committee of the General Assembly (him and Annan and the Angel of Light, can figure out where next to go). How many more of his holidays will the U.S taxpayers, and Japanese fund (which is 42.5 % of the total UN budget) have to support such play? Daniela Rozgonova is likely to accompany him on his travel; she just can't keep her hands off this guy, what is it. He must be a swinger, or good company. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is well know within the walls of the Vienna UN that the incompetence and abuse of power by Dr. Hoffmann and the Chief of the Public Information Section, Daniela Rozgonova is an on going saga with our tax monies. How long will this be allowed is a good question? And to be quite honest, I wonder about the personality of Daniela Rozgonova, it would seem to me it is a disorder (reminds me of a gal I had the pleasure of writing a while ago to, and they both seem a little like each other ((Alyce Ornella)). Anyhow, in my professional opinion, and I'm retired from counseling, thank god, I'd call it paranoid - Daniela Rozgonova; I can't prove that, but I sense it, I have like a scent, and it leads me to that, and by empirical data. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by a distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives (maybe I might be her sinister motive, but I'm not around her so I've got to eliminate me). People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships with others (in this case she has let of course the horny Hoffmann in (and again Alyce comes to mind, not in the horny part, just the sinister motive part). They search for hidden meanings in everything and read hostile intentions into the actions of others (here comes Henk). They are quick to challenge the loyalties of friends and loved ones and often appear cold and distant to others. They usually shift blame to others and tend to carry long grudges. There is, something called illusions of people while in this state, involutional paranoid and other states of course. As there is in psychoses also a paranoid type (chemical use, and surely abuse should not be tolerated if there is a disorder present of this magnitude); but enough of that, it is of course conjecture. And like all of the above, I've got my opinion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless, I'm sure Daniela Rozgonova is still collecting her US$10,000 of tax free money, for "work" of some 40-hours a month, and I hear she likes them coffee shops during office hours. I like them myself, Barnes and Noble in Roseville, at Har Mar Mall has a good one, Gary is the store manager, look him up, tell him I sent you, I'm sure he'll give you a good cup of coffee, and Jerry is the manager of the coffee shop. Ann Rule was there the other day, nice lady. We got talking about disorders than I had to skip and watch the Presidents debate. She left a book there for me a nice inscription, than I ended up giving one of my books away. Not good for business. Anyhow, let me add, the fact that she continues in her post after four years of doing this same routine, means that the PTS management has no sense, or a bad sense of humor; or third, is getting rewarded on the side. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent PTS picnic, a lunch for the most part where Dr. Hoffmann and Daniela themselves with a group of 150-staff members and their young children, waited in line in the hot sun for over an hour, as an Ambassador said and I heard, kind of heard, "...his country and regional group want the 'German Swine Hoffmann replaced ASAP." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 25; [Fragments And Lashes] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 13, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;United Kingdom &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Kingdom lashes out at the EU, while the UN looks the other way trying to figure out how to win the US election for Kerry [focus, focus]. It would seem the UK is not happy lately with their partner the EU; I cannot blame them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;Italy &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy blocks Germany's bid for a UN-permanent membership on the Security Counsel; to me that would be like putting the Chief United Nations Officer-Annan as the Vice President of the United States, god help us all then. Good for Italy though. We all ready have two Europeans on the Security Counsel [France and England], do we really need more [?] I would say let Rome on before Berlin; President Berlusconi of Italy has been more of a friend than the Germans, whom we supported for fifty- years (get them off our welfare roll). The Romans know better than to trust the Germans, we should learn by them. Schroeder, the German Gestapo would love to put his heel under Rome, and then France and Germany can have a hay-day at the UN trying to put their heel under the US. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest we give Asia another look, such as Japan, why not, they pay 20% of the total UN bill and get 1% of its rewards (if that). Russia and China pay 35-million together (but can buy rockets and nukes up the dupa - and in the billions of dollars), a drop in the bucket compared to Japan's contribution of 6.5-billion dollars a year, not yen; and get all the glory they want from the UN Chief, Annan, and France: that is loose change for Japan's donations. Plus, it would give a better balance for Asia; but China would most likely pick North Korea for the seat, and Russia would pick Iran for the Security Counsel seat. Iran has already tired to become Mr. Annan's opponent; better put, he'd like his job and has requested so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3&lt;br /&gt;Fox/Reeves &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael J. Fox, as we all know has turned from TV, to activist, with all respect intended, are we know using Fox's Parkinson's disease to get votes for Kerry. I have Multiple Sclerosis, should I use that to get votes for Bush. Come on now let's leave the voting for logic, not sympathy. I even see Kerry running to Reeves funeral, and give a lecture on Superman's behalf, hoping for possibilities. I thought I saw it all in campaigns, until now. Mr. Kerry paid tribute to the death of Mr. Reeves and told the public how inspired he was. I was not inspired by Mr. Kerry's uncouthness, but Mr. Reeves did contribute to those who bore his sickness, likewise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4&lt;br /&gt;Australia &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the Financial Times [FT] is getting more biased by the week, like Dan Rather; but I suppose it is their right, since it is their newspaper. I will have to turn to the New York Times, which I used to read. John Howard won his 4th term as Australia's President in spite of backing Bush up in Iraq. Smart guy and a man with grit and integrity, more than I can say about Singapore, and South Korea, which are getting soft; the United Nations don't like this of course, nor does Kerry, but you know it is what the people want, and when you have an ally that is what that country should be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why on God's earth do we even have even one soldier in Old Europe is beyond me, they despise us, pull them out tomorrow Mr. Bush. And now South Korea is crying help, as I predicted they would, for us to leave our troops there in fear of the Panda Bear (China) and the Axis of Evil empire swarming down to eat them up, which they would do. I would tell them tomorrow: send an equal amount of troops to Iraq or guard your own country yourself; butch of belly aching cowards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 26; [World War IV/Israel and Iran] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 14, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;WWIV &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't seem to click with a lot of people, not sure if we are in a fog, underwater, under a spell or just dumb. The issue, the real issue, the one under the surface, the one not always looked at, the one floating, racing around the globe is not Saddam per se, nor is it Iraq, or Iran and its nuclear quest like North Korea per se; nor is it Al Queda specifically, or Syria and Saudi Arabia who sponsor and support terrorist acts and groups in the name of Allah, harbor them in their backyard, breeding them like a litter of jackals in search of its next victim [s]; nor is it the United Nations directly, but is indirectly; and Israel normally the scapegoat for most everyone's owes, shouldn't be - but is part of this global phenomenon and global paranoia. It is all of the above combined, collectively. It starts at the United Nations and circles the globe from New York to San Francisco, to Japan and Java, Bali, the Pacific and right on to India and the Middle East to Berlin and Paris, and stops in Washington D.C. The truth of the matter is we are in WWIV. Plain and simple, WWI was fought in the trenches; WWII fought on land, sea and in the air, and WWIII, the cold war was fought in/with skirmishes, rhetoric repeat over and over; spies, finances and in body bags. Now WWIV - is upon us, it will be fought differently in that, it will be on our doorsteps, it is just a matter of time [has already started]. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so when we talk about how Bush sent troops to Iraq, and NATO is in Afghanistan, as well as Eastern Europe, and France is in Africa trying to put out fires, and South Korea is afraid of their own shadows now, since we said we were moving out, it proves it is not Iraq alone, it is the world at large, that is at war, and all of a sudden instead of fighting it jointly, the world has stepped back and let the USA fight it alone, for their own personal reasons and most of them prideful and financial. But in so doing they have allowed themselves to become vulnerable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I hear is countries and the United Nations talking about the USA and how they want more money [do this, do that, while they do nothing but talk, cheap talk]; the is EU talking about the World Trade, and contracts, while we are fighting a war; the World Court trying to get America to fall under its authority while we are fighting two wars; the world oil supply goes down, down and down - while China's use goes up, up up. We are living in dangerous times, somehow I think this division has opened up doors for the enemy in all directions - and showed America who can and who we can not trust (possible God sent); and let's not shoot the blame, or point fingers at the USA, it's a cheap trick, and one used often to take the focus off them. The "if's" and "but's" belong in your own backyard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a like manner, he world has let Israel fight its own battle, and when it starts to win the war of terror in its back yard then the world wakes up and gets in a moody position, but does not lift a finger to stop the terrorist acts, but finds room to condemn Israel for self- preservation, as it has now done to the USA. It's always the guy with the big mouth that that puts the penny in the donation slot, and waits in line to get a free meal thinking he done humanity a great service - that is the United Nations in a nutshell, concerning Israel, and now its arrogance towards the United States. On a last note, let me say, everyone is counting how much money we are spending on war in Iraq. Every war costs; but it has to be measured on what it would cost if we do not wage war. Possible another city bombed, or what. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;Israel &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Question is arising in Israel [and at the UN], day by day, should or should they not bomb Iran's nuclear installations? It is a simple question for me. If my neighbor had a machine gun, and he was known for using it on his neighbors he did not like, he would not have it long I assure you of that, police or no police I would find a way to take it away or bury it, with or without him. Or put it another way, my neighbor has a wild dog in her backyard - or it is becoming wild, and it can jump over the fence I think, I've watch the dog grow from a pup, and in another six months should its master tell it to jump on me, over the fence, it will be able to do so; and it will some day I'm sure do it without the masters call. Thus, should I wait or should I kill it. It would be very easy to kill now, harder later, especially if it attacks me first. I have tried endlessly to avoid any such happenings, but she says she has a right to have a mild or wild dog, but she allows the dog to run around the yard without a careful eye on it. Should I do a pre-emptive strike on this dog? Or wait until it eats my little cute wife up? Things are never so simple are they? She wants her rights without responsibility. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tel Aviv is considering such a move, and I can't blame them, I hope we sell them the "bunker buster," bombs they need, it will forestall whatever dreams they [they being: Iran per se] have on shooting one over to the University at Tel Aviv. These precision-guided bombs are capable of doing much damage underground. And anyway you cut the pie, Israel knows as does Tehran, Iran will have nuclear weapons by 2007, and use it for a first strike. Major-General Giora Eiland, National Security Adviser is very concerned on this matter, feeling, anyone trying so hard to get the big bomb is surely going to use it, blackmail with it, or both. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the mean time Iran has not cooperated with the United Nations IAEA, and faces sanctions, which they laugh at - for they have defied the UN out right and think nothing of it. The question might be: how close are they to nuclear capability [launch capability will be in 2007]. Well, they are at the moment right on top of it. They are there. Who will be next to want it? Let me guess, how about the wild card: Syria; and why not Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Kam has bellowed out of his lungs, is so many words: should the IAEA not be able to persuade Tehran to stop its nuclear ambitions, the US should intervene militarily. First of all, the IAEA has failed already, it is written history. Second, let Israel do the fly over if they want (it is their gain or loss); all the better, save jet fuel for American tax payers, and they are pretty good at it. And why wait - for what? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[#27: Do we need the UN to oserve our elections; a new request from world leaders to control our country] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 27; UN-US Eagle-eyes and UN Corruption &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 15, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;Who wants want? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of NGOs (non-governmental organizations ((basically Kerry supporters)): Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the Economic Human Rights Project, Alliance for Democracy and National Welfare Rights Union want the United Nations (in essence they want to beak in) to monitor, observe closely the elections of November 2, 2004 - presidential elections in the United States, in fear Bush might make it a second term. A petition has been in the making. This of course would take a mandate from the General Assembly I would think [as a request from a Government, not a group, or legislative branch], and we could I assume veto it should it go to the General Assembly. The OSCE, based in Vienna is the main regional security organization, so it would have to - I suppose again, come out of there as a package wrapped up under crisis management/intervention. In addition, the Europeans would like to observe at first hand the elections also. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommendations: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Europeans are not welcome in my eyes to observe anything in the USA except tourist attractions; that is, in election capacity for sure; they are not American citizens, and it is even rude of them to ponder the thought. As the France said to the US not long ago, "Stay out of our politics." The only thing they want is to influence the decision making. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations would do well to monitor their selves before they try to monitor us also; from what I see, they got a long and hefty road ahead of them trying to do just that; how on earth can one expect them to monitor us when they are so scornful and corrupt themselves. If they want to monitor so bad, get on over to Iraq, they are begging for them there. How come they did not want to monitor the Russian Elections? It is the old saying: clean up your own house before you try to clean up ours. I don't trust the UN's motives anymore than I do the Europeans: neither are they trust worthy - least they think I'm gullible. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And these cheesy - NGO-groups wanting US citizens to be subject to this is an act if not violation of our privacy. Go save the whales. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;UN Corruption &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corruption in the United Nations, you got to be kidding. A woman wrote me about a month ago, just couldn't believe the UN was a pot of crickets, as they say in Peru: she even went as far as trying to make me feel as if it was a sacred temple, and I'd be hell bound for my truths. My dear lady (I think she has seen the Angel of Light, the one God kicked out of heaven, Lucifer the deceiver), the UN is a snakeskin; meaning, snakes shed their skins, as do other animals. In this case, we have to see where it came from - the snakeskin. It was the first skin: that being, the League of Nations, when they became so corrupt and squabbling, useless, and could do no good for world order or peace, it was abandon for - you got it, the UN, thus, it shed its skin. It's a simple matter of reviewing history. Well, now is the time to shed its skin again, and come up with a new order for peace. As the old saying goes, if it doesn't work and you can't fix it, throw it away. It is by all means, a costly old rusty rim on a new Catallac. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let's look at this a little deeper. The "Oil for Food," generated some $67 billion dollars in profits for food. Where did all this money go? Supposedly there is a committee looking into this, but it is no surprise to many; why? because it is not only clear to the Iraqi government, but to the US Government as well where it all went. Let me explain. In January, 2004, the Iraqi Newspaper al-Mada came out with a list of 270- names, people-names, who were involved with the corruption (some 11-billion and possible much more), to include governments, activists, journalists and UN staff. A report came out saying a top UN official took bribes from Iraq to subvert the program. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said recently, he was funding a $30-million dollar investigation into this matter, funding it out of Iraqi funds - nonetheless. How will he save his soul, I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, now it should be plain to see why France and Russia opposed the war in Iraq so strongly: they never wanted peace, why: payoffs in the billions. Thus, Saddam was their golden boy. Why else would they fight so hard against the US: money, money, money and more money; they were in stone-shock when we went against their golden wishes. They could careless if the women got raped or freedom to vote went down the drain, that is why they opposed us so cold heartedly now and then; nor do they care/or did they care about the children if they ate - they, like Saddam, took the food out of their mouths and bought their French wine with it (if anybody should carry the shame box, it is them); nor did they care who sat in the prison cells (except when the US took possession of them), or in the trench-graves, that they found back then and recently. The French are friends to no one unless there is a gift waiting. It was, and is money, money and more money all the time for them and the over stocked corrupt UN. The French are a profit for hire country, meaning: do as you please as long as you pay, and we'll look the other way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 28; [Abortions/Gestaposim/Syria-Annan] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 16, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;UN-Abortions &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bush Administration has not jumped at the chance to follow the many at the United Nations again, and they just can't figure it out. Really, 250-world figures jumped at the chance to promote Family Planning, but no one is saying, under the surface is hidden Abortion, no, they are just saying: Bush will not go along with the world agenda. Ted Turner the tycoon who funds the UN Foundation helped organize the dispatch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's look at a few of these world leaders: Jimmy Carter, he's an old Baptist boy like me, and should be ashamed of himself for backing such a request. And Bill Clinton, he'll go along with anything for a joke. And 47-Nobel Prize winners, you can tell the value of the prize by the smell of the death that sticks to it. The Nobel Committee has lost its credibility long ago; it's an activist organization now, and not worth its salt; I'd rather get a Bronze Star.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good thing about this is President Bush has held $34-million of its funds for the UN Population Fund (UNFPA); let Ted flip the bill if he likes it so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, Washington does not have to prove anything [as they think it should], if they want the money, they have to prove it is not for abortion, which they now proclaim it is not so they can get the money; yet in practicability, it is. If this is not so, where are they getting the funds to perform them abortions with? I personally do not want one dime of my tax money to go to the UN-Baby-Killer-Fund. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;br /&gt;UN-German Gestapo's &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone seems to want to be part of the Permanent Security Council at the UN nowadays. Japan wants the prize, and China and South Korea oppose it; Argentina and Mexico want to stop Brazil from gaining a head seat on the committee; Poland and Italy want to block the Germans,-- while France and Britain support the Gestapo's. It a madhouse with all these UN aspirations, but what I find really, I mean really funny is: I want to say paradoxical, but really should say hypocritical, is this: Germany supported the war in Kosovo without a UN mandate, and it opposed the Iraq war, because the US and UK could not secure a Security Council endorsement. Schroder was of course the one behind this. Plus he was against toppling Saddam, even if the UN approved it. I think Germany was better off with Helmut Schmidt. In any case, Germany is going back to the days of Gestapoism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3&lt;br /&gt;Syria, can you hear! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN has been bellowing out its request that Syria pull out its 14,000-troops of Lebanon for a long time now and even got a resolution to that effect. What is the good of a resolution when they laugh at them, and threaten the UN, and the UN sinks to accepting payoffs? Even Kofi Annan's son is on the hit list for payoffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The UN says they will keep the heat on Syria, and want the secretary general to report back to the Security Council in three months. So what does Lebanon do for the next three months? The UN is a paper-tiger. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Syria, France and Russia are all three a sad case, to say the least. During the months before the war with Iraq, Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Shara, told the world, and the Security Counsel, war with Iraq was not the solution (as did France and Russia), that peace can be achieved without armed military. Now during all this chitchat, guess what, Syria was rolling in the dollars - yes, while this hypocrite was telling us we should have peace, he was getting paid off by contracts, from Saddam, while Saddam was buying machine guns, 20-million worth; and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). So when the French, Syrian or Russian want to stand tall and say peace, look behind it for $$$-signs, pocket money. And guess where the delivery points were, right in Syria, at a sum of $1.2 billion worth of forbidden weapons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you think they are friends doing us favors, think again, they care less about peace or terrorism until it hits home. And that goes for Secretary General Kofi Annan, one of the biggest heels the UN has yet to breed. Simply look at Rwanda and Sudan, which has proven he cannot influence a soul. Leadership is influencing, and this guy is a disaster waiting to happen; not only to world peace, but America per se. Furthermore, he wants 778-new positions for the UN, at 97-million dollars, now who is going to pay for it, how about his country. He's also worried about Japan pulling their 6.5- billion out of their UN fund that would mean the Millionaires Club might not survive. I wrote about that before, he of course belongs to it. And the concept is: if you can stay ten-years at any given UN, at a decent position, you will be in the club, thus you will be a millionaire, no matter if you were feeding pigs in Rwanda before you got to the UN. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 30; [The Goon-Squad In Terrorism] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 19, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's get down to the grit-and-crap of the of the trash can of this issue. Terrorism is here to stay why - Right? Maybe not you say. Wishful thinking - maybe you're right. Well let's go back to the United Nations, we have to end up there one way or another, it starts there, and it will end there. As we all know, the Security Council voted to condemn terrorism recently. The resolution was brought forward by none-other than, Russia; still crying over its recent terrorist attack, had it not been for that, 9/11 did nothing to them to force this vote - or them coming forward. But when it's in your own backyard, well, it's a different story isn't it. And to be quite honest, it was not easy to even get the vote they got, a lot of neck twisting went on behind the scenes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main reason the United Nations is having trouble with getting a decent terrorist resolution, besides a simply vote in place, or even condemning it is not because of the United Nations per se, I hate to admit, or the West, but the collapse is in the Organization of the Islamic Conference [the Muslims], it has fifty-six of the UN's 191-members defending terrorism as a right, and the Qur'an and Allah backing them up. How can you fight them when you got their bible backing them up? You will never get a decent resolution out of that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solution [fight fire with fire; rights with rights]: People will say: this is too harsh, we are a civilized society; but remember who you are fighting, a non-civilized environment; the US/UK and Russia [leave the rest of the cowards out] should create a goon-squad, and start doing the same thing the goons do, attack. Use tax payer's money (why not, they use it for abortions), use it for killing the Islamic-goons, like Israel does. They got a hit squad, and when the unofficial-official government goes for a strike, strike them back. Matter of fact, strike them back anyhow - before they strike (they got big cities to, and places of worship). They got a lot of targets just like Madrid, and Russia and New York, and Bali. Who do you hit, how do you think these folks are supporting themselves, it's the nice countries like Saudi Arabia, and our friends in Syria, and Egypt, and Jordan giving them paychecks. If you see a paycheck coming from them, then they are the enemy. Too simply, right, I thought so. So wait until we get hit again. But once you fight fire with fire, see how fast they want to sign the "Terrorism," act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 31; Peruvians Need Food Fast &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 21, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United Nations, believe it or not did one good thing, or is trying to do one good thing, or would like to do it, but hasn't done it, not sure why, but they are talking about it. I live in Peru as well as Minnesota, land of 13,000-thousand lakes (not 10,000-as they put on their car license-plates), and lots of cornfields. But the friendly people of southern Peru are starving to death - right this very minute. Their weather for some reason destroyed their harvests, and the UN has looked into this; someone must have kicked them in the chin.Â President Bush if you read anything today, read this--please. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The World Food Program [WFP] has said the people in Puno are getting little or nothing to eat up there in the southern region of the mountains. Where is the fly-ins with food? All going to some other place I think. We got some starving people over there, down there and then up. They could use a quick two or three million dollars to feed them for the next six months, it wouldn't take much on a world wide scale - Pepsi got more than that from the Iraqi Food Fund Program for Oil, for money lost during the l990 war - so it has been claimed (for an example). Call it emergency food or what. These people are the friendliest in the world, have done no one any harm, not like half the Islamic rebels around the world. If we can find food for them, feed our enemy, we are surely going backwards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Severe storms in June took most of the food, or cereal crops. And during this time many of the households' animals died, they also starved to death, if not froze. A survey by the WFP has said 91% of the children are suffering with malnutrition in that area.Â Send the trucks, the planes lets get food to them. Everybody waiting on the US, while the fat cats and healthy millionaires-club at the UN discuss whose pockets the money is going to come out of, how about Annan's he's got a pocket full (by the time his scandal is over he may not); he's done his dirty deeds and can afford it anyway, but he's for Annan no one else, other than his son who he is most likely in business with. Time will tell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is well understood, half of Peru's population is below the poverty line; and of that 25% or close to 7-million in extreme poverty, they live on less than one dollar a day; are good Christian folk, not Islamic Killers. Geneva, wake up and send the money, take a few trucks out of the PLO-war zone (the ones you give to them to haul bombs back and forth with), and stop helping them kill Jews for a few days, and do a humanitarian deed. These people of Peru do not kill anything and are starving, and the UN gives them less priority than anyone else. It leads me to believe the more destruction you do, the more the UN wants to help you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;United Nations Part 33; Bill Clinton As Secretary-General? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Dennis L. Siluk &lt;br /&gt;Oct. 23, 2004 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1&lt;br /&gt;Bill Clinton for UNSG [chief] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A likely United Nations candidate: Bill Clinton. Yes, yes, he's going to try and fit into the big shoes of Kofi Annan, secretary-general. I thought about this all day, pondered on it. Good or bad idea. Well, here is what I came up with (don't like it turn the page). He'll never make it if Bush is president, and I don't blame him (blame Bush that is). If John Kerry is president, he will not like it either (a thorn in the butt), but it would be hard for Kerry not to assist him in his grab for the power strings at the UN. Will he be worse than Annan, not sure anyone can be. One of the problems I see is: he is the one that let bin Laden become The Bin Laden we know today. He could have taken him out of the story book, had he had enoug
