If Americans want real change in 2008 they will have to look beyond the candidates. The U.S. is a county divided and if it wants to truly move in a new direction, it will be up to the people to adjust and express a new way of thinking.
January 02, 2008
We are taught in school that in the U.S. we have three branches of government: the executive, legislative and judicial. Our “founding fathers” felt that this separation of powers would result in a system of “check and balances’ that would prevent either branch from gaining too much power. For many...

The price of “political correctness” has been the loss of spirit in the American culture. In order not to offend anyone, we have become morally and spiritually sterile. The holidays have degraded into a time to shop and all inner meaning has been lost from what was once a time of joy.
While I d...

“If you are not willing to lead, then get out of the way.” This sentiment was shouted at the U.S. by a repetitive at the recent Bali Conference on climate change. This will be the refrain of the world unless we, as a nation, make a determined effort to get our proverbial international act together...
December 10, 2007
President Bush will probably become known in history as the American leader who began the decline of the American Empire. Pax Americana is at an end! The single most important cause for this decline is his total lack of leadership in addressing the issue of global climate change.
While clear ar...

One thing must be clear from the outset; Nostradamus is not a purveyor of doom and gloom. He does not predict the end of the world nor does he foretell of the “second coming” of anyone. Regardless of the words, he does not believe in an anti-Christ. Nostradamus does not tell “all” in the quatrain...

When the Tsunami devastated Southeast Asia and hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, the first cry that went out was, “Why was there no warning?” Now, we are faced with an environmental tsunami but the difference is we have a warning. According to the U.N. panel of scientists as reported by AP...

I do not pretend to be a scientist but I am conversant with many of its principles. The purpose of this article is to contrast some of the basic laws in physics with that of the Law of Attraction and to at least to generally illustrate that the two fields of study are not contradictory. In fact,...

The recent surge in oil prices is the epitome in white collar crime. One cannot help but wonder how long people and politicians will sit idly by while oil corporations steal from the poor to fatten their overflowing wallets. On Friday oil hit $95.93, down slightly from Wednesdays high of $98.62 a ...
November 02, 2007
“The Lost Book of Nostradamus” was recently aired on the History Channel. They got it all wrong! While sensationalism sells and controversy attracts listeners, the History Channel should have done more to balance the commentary on this newly discovered manuscript. While their was a hint of mystic...
October 28, 2007
We have all heard of the problems relating to the sub-prime mortgage. What may not be readily understood is that events surrounding this economic issue can serve as an example and model for debates over environmental issues. The universe is all about relationships, many of which we do not understa...

A recent AP report (10/17) indicates that the Tundra, worldwide, is warming up.

By now many of you have probably heard the news about the new ‘superbug,’ designated as MRSA infection. A staph infection, this virus is claiming over 18,000 lives each year which is more than AIDS, heart disease and auto accidents combined. Some 90,000 new cases are reported each year. For all p...

The U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee decided to broaden its resolution condemning the Ottoman Empires genocide of Armenians to include a few more historical events. Not wanting to offend just the Turks, the Committee thought they should spread the condemnations. Citing the c...

As the military junta in Burma puts the final nails in the pro-democracy movement an interesting question comes to mind. What would have been the world’s reaction, particularly in the West, if instead of monks, 6,000 priests were arrested? What would have been the reaction if 6,000 ministers were ...
October 01, 2007
The sounds of silence regarding Burma are deafening. Facing certain violence, the Buddhist monks of Burma took to the streets to peacefully demand change in a country that has been ruled for forty-five years by the iron hand of military dictatorship. While it is true that many nations “urged restr...

When you get a cut you add a little antiseptic and seal it off with a bandage. All these treatments do is prevent infection; the actual healing is done by the body and not the treatment. It is a shame that this is not the case with the economy. The FED may cover it with a bandage, but the system ...

A report this weekend about Lake Superior is both surprising and a bit disconcerting. The report indicated that over the past five years, Lake Superior, the largest body of fresh water on the planet, has lost 12 trillion gallons of water to evaporation. The news story went on to say that the Lake,...

Something is fundamentally wrong! After two millennia of organized Christianity the world is not a better place. The same can be said for Islam and all organized religions. Faiths that were established upon the teachings of love have become the pillars of hatred. Teachings that claimed we are al...

“God’s Warriors,” produced and recently aired by CNN should serve as a wake-up call to anyone wondering why the world is in such a state of political, social and religious turmoil. Based upon interviews conducted by Christiane Amanpour who traveled the globe to talk to Jewish, Muslim and Christian ...

First pet food, then people food and toys; what’s next? You have to love globalization and all of its wonderful ramifications. Actually, when I first heard of globalization I thought it was a wonderful concept. The idea that trade barriers between nations would disappear opening the doors to an i...

Weather calamities seem to have an eye for Asia this summer although many other parts of the world are far from immune to “Mother’s” growing chaos. In case you do not follow the weather news, here are some of the latest headlines:

There are 10.4 million sites on the internet devoted to the Law of Attraction and 168 million sites devoted to the topic of Jesus. Is there any relationship between these two phenomena? In the book and movie, “The Secret” it is claimed that the Law of Attraction has been kept secret for millennia....

More weapons will help bring peace? When in the course of human history has building stocks of weapons ever led to a more peaceful world? The recent announcement by U.S. Secretary of State Rice to send more military aid to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Middle Eastern countries defies all l...

Barack Obama will not win the Democratic nomination for president. All biases and prejudices aside on the part of the American voting public, there is something about Obama that is not trust worthy. He reminds me of the Manchurian Candidate, well groomed, very slick, always the right answers but n...

A member of a yahoo group to which I belong passed along a very saddening email. I found it quite disturbing that in this day and age such ignorance on the part of a government in what is far from a backward nation still exists. The email concerns a proposed piece of legislation in South Africa cal...

Religious extremism is not confined to fundamentalist terrorists. By its very nature, organized religions are destined to foster division and hatred between competing faiths. A new study commissioned by the EastWest Institute says that, “Violent Muslim, Christian and Jewish extremists invoke the sa...

They say ignorance is bliss but when it comes to the weather it ignorance can be a bitter pill to swallow. I normally keep up on the latest news and I especially keep an eye on the weather since climate change is a frequent topic in my articles and blogs. For the past few weeks I had been busy rea...

A recent UN report indicates that by 2008, one half of the world’s population will live in cities. According to the AP in London (6/28/07), that means that some 3.3 billion people will live in urban areas and by 2030, this number is expected to climb to 5 billion people. In the United States, near...

The recent AP story concerning the book and the movie, “The Secret” is humorous at best and disturbing at worst. The following are a few highlights from the story reported by CNN News:
“CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- While "The Secret" has become a pop culture phenomenon, it also has drawn critics who a...

Is the energy bill enough or too little, too late? If it were twenty years ago the recent bill passed by the U.S Senate would have been applauded for its foresight and innovation. While not getting all that they wanted, the bill includes provisions that would increase fuel mileage to a fleet avera...

It has never been about America, religion and maybe not even Israel; it has always been about power. Recent events in the Middle East have me wondering whether the fighting in Gaza, Lebanon and Iraq has ever really been about a clash of cultures or religions. The latest headlines from this war tor...

We are all familiar with the nursery rhyme, “Ring around the rosy…” that was actually about the bubonic plague during the dark ages. A recent study in Maine would seem to indicate that we are in the midst or a new plague. This one does not come from rats or fleas and is not the normal pathogen.-it...

What is wrong with President Bush? Does he want his legacy to be “the man that rekindled the cold war?” According to Vladimir Putin the Russian test-firing of new missiles was in response to the U.S. plans to build missile defense sites across Eastern Europe. Why would we do that? What is the se...

China has become an exporter of poisons and the poisons are in everything from toothpaste, eggs, teas, medicines, baby foods, herbs, vitamins, pet foods, fish, wheat, rice and who dares do guess what else? Given that the FDA inspects only 1% of food imports and tests only 0.5%, how safe do you thin...

General Petraeus has called on the Iraqis to reject violence. Let’s take a look at some of the headlines from the Middle East: “ Bombings killed seven U.S. soldiers in Baghdad and a southern city, the U.S. military said Sunday, and the country's Sunni vice president spoke out against a proposed oil...

While I regret the loss of anyone I do not regret the loss of the Falwell ideology. I find the basic philosophy of the fundamentalist movement of any religion essentially divisive and far removed from the teachings they claim to champion. Movements such as the Moral Majority can be equated with th...

The lengthening days of spring turn our eyes towards the earth. We rake the last of the leaves, weed the emerging flowers, prepare the mower and the trimmer and perhaps ready our gardens. Sometimes we focus too much on the ground and miss the the dance in the air.

In my article called “The Poisoning of America” I talked about the issues regarding the safety of America’s food supply in light of the recent concern over imported grains from China that were contaminated with melamine. The recent Washington Post article by Rick Weiss added more concern to this is...
May 05, 2007
First the dogs, then the cats and now the people! We are being poisoned by imported food. As dogs and cats were dying an outcry went out concerning the import of wheat and rice from China. We then found that the contaminated food, containing melamine, was fed to hogs and over three thousand were ...

If you have a flat tire, you do not take the car apart to fix it. You simply deal with the problem at hand and “move on.” Why then, have we totally messed up our educational system? It may have had a few glitches but it did not require taking the whole system apart. Our educational system is a s...

Keep an eye on “Other Russia.” It seems that Russian President Vladimir Putin is following in the path of so many in term of the corrupting influence of power. Using old style Communist police tactics, Putin has tried to violently suppress those that disagree with his policies. If “Other Russia” h...

The April 15th, 2007 Washington Post article called, “Military Sees Security Threat” by Juliet Eilperin adds fuel to my previous commentary on “Climate Change: Security or Aid.” It is amazing that only a few short months ago no one in the Bush Administration was taking climate change very seriousl...
April 09, 2007
The AP report by Edith M. Lederer that the UN Security Council will be dealing with the issue of global climate change is welcome news. One cannot find it interesting, however, that the talks will focus upon threats to international security. It is not very encouraging that the focus is upon secur...

My article, “Time for Israel to Take the High Road” (American Chronicle, 4-1-07) has attracted numerous comments. These comments can give a clue as to why peace in the Middle East is not an easy feat to achieve.
One would think from the statements that follow and more that I received on my blo...

Arab leaders meeting in Riyadh affirmed their intention to revive their proposed peace plan for the Middle East. This plan was offered at the Beirut summit in 2002. While initially rejected by Israel, the peace proposal is now being reevaluated by Israeli authorities. Now is the time foe Israel t...

Buddha said, "We are what we think. With our thoughts, we make the world." Or how about from the Bible, "you reap what you sow," or "To him that hath, more will be given.” People do not get it!

The March 17th news story reported by AP’s writer Sarah Karush on the Christian march in Washington, D.C. against the war in Iraq is disheartening.

“Bushanol” is not the answer to global warming. Ethanol has been around since the 1920’s and it is no panacea in the fight to slow global warming. Most scientists agree that the energy to produce it is more than the energy it returns and there not significant reductions in greenhouse gasses when ...

I had an interview with Anita Bloom Ornoff who is the author of the book, BEYOND DANCING. While this may not seem like a big deal there are several things that you might want to consider. Anita is 85 years old and she wrote her book a year ago. Anita is also a paraplegic, paralyzed from the waist...

The REAL ID seems to me to be a REAL WASTE of money. There is no question in my mind that this is just another way to implement a National ID card. It is the same issue regarding the anti-gun lobby. Take all of the guns away and the only ones with them will be the government and the criminals. Do...

It is time to look at some of the impediments to creating your own reality and getting what you want now. Dr. John Demartini of the Secret lists seven fears that people encounter when utilizing the principles of The Secret. These fears are: 1. The fear of breaking the moral or ethical standards o...

We live and breathe and have our existence in a sea of energy that is shaped, molded and manifest through conscious thought. All that exists is thought made manifest. To the ancient mystics, this was called the tapestry of life. In modern times it is the string theory of quantum physics. Remembe...

The Universe operates according to set laws and the co-creators need to be aware of those laws if they are to be successful in their efforts to consciously create their own reality. Keep you in mind; you are constantly creating your reality now albeit on an unconscious level. If you want to know w...

In a polite society we say "thank you" after we receive a gift. While that is nice, it not exactly the way the Universe works. Many falter in the manifestation process because they believe that they do not already have what they want. After all, if you cannot see it or touch it, it is not there-r...
February 16, 2007
There is so much going on in the world today that each deserves a little comment. One can only hope that the U.S. follows the lead of England and Germany with respect to addressing the issues of global climate change. Our leaders must recognize that just trying not to increase pollution levels is ...

Is The Secret just about getting money, losing weight, having better sex or finding your “soul-mate?” While I was watching the February 8th Oprah Show I received an email that said it was a shame that The Secret was all about getting money. The emailer was looking for a more “meditative experienc...

The newly released report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is frightening. International policy makers must pay heed to its findings and act now to prevent untold disaster. The debate is over-climate change is happening and will get worse if our nation’s leaders do not act now...
February 03, 2007
The debate is over can we get to work now? The UN report on climate change should put a lot of issues to rest and perhaps even silence the censors of the scientific community. The bottom line, this planet is in trouble. Even if we all act now we will are going to experience major climate change. ...
February 01, 2007
This time in history has been called the Age of Terrorism. While the term is appropriate, the Age of Culturalism might be a better fit. Culturalism is akin to the rise of “nationalism” in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As we recall, the growth of nationalism saw the destruction of empire...

To have peace, you must want peace. I do not believe that the people of Iraq want peace. Do Iraqi mothers want to see their sons and daughters killed by a suicide bomber? Of course they don’t. Do fathers want to see their families slain on a bus or as they shop at the local market or head out fo...
January 16, 2007
Every so often, in the course of history, a person or an idea comes along that shifts the human paradigm. Weather in the arts, sciences, philosophy, legal systems, technology or spiritual thought, a concept has been developed that turns the status quo on its head. Are these ideas accepted by rulin...

Who let the cell phone in? An interesting question that raises an even larger one: when will people learn to take responsibility for their own actions? In recent polls many Iraqi’s blame the United States for the sectarian violence plaguing their nation. The French and English are blaming the Mus...

There is no question that Americans have a lot on their plate. Oil prices are creeping back up, our international reputation has been hard hit and we seem to be blamed by everyone for all of the ills in the world.

WHAT EVERY AUTHOR NEEDS TO KNOW
In my first article concerning the Literary Sub-Culture I painted a rather bleak picture for new authors. Allow me to continue in that vein for a few moments. In an article on gawker.com (11/8) it was reported that many literary agents are a little on the mentally c...

There should be little doubt that global climate change is now inevitable. Studies in Britain, the UN and most respectable scientific institutions now unanimously agree that humanity will reap what it has sown. There are opportunities to negate some of the climate changes if action is taken now. ...

Now that the Democrats have control of both houses of Congress will we really see any change in domestic and foreign policies? After the election I talked to several people who were ecstatic about the Republican defeat. But when probed as to what this would mean with regard to policy issues, few c...

On November 2nd the Larry King show on CNN was focused on the topic, “Beyond Positive Thinking.” Mr. King’s guests were John Assaraf, the Rev. Michael Beckwith, Dr. John Demartini J.Z. Knight and Bob Proctor. The basic premise of the show was that people have the power to control and to create thei...

I am really getting annoyed with the ads from political parties and their various supporters. The Democrats want you to vote all Democratic and the Republicans all Republican in the upcoming elections. I believe in voting for the right candidate. If that happens to be a Republican, I will vote fo...

Plain and simple, terrorists are cowards! They are not worthy of the name insurgents or rebels. They are murderers, thieves and rapists. Sick and demented criminals are the terms most appropriate. They are not religious extremists for their actions have no bearing or basis in any religious belie...

A rat in a corner always comes out fighting. If politicians had paid attention to their history classes they would know that foreign policies based upon isolation and neglect simply do not work. They never have and never will.
Does anyone remember Cuba? Our policy towards them has been one of ne...

On behalf of humanity I apologize to the Universe! I am not sure this will do any good. I know that we are responsible for our own reality and I know that no one will come to save us, regardless of what the religious die-hard may say. I know that we have free will and that is why the Universe wil...

Who cannot be happy about the current trend in falling gas and heating oil prices? And yet, as I pull up to the pump and fill my tank for $2.21/gallon, that’s in Mid-coast Maine, I cannot help but be skeptical about my reduced out of pocket expenses.
Anyone familiar with the Northeast knows...

Despite the back peddling, the damage is done. The insensitive comments by Pope Benedict XVI regarding Muhammad’s teachings are one more notch for the case of religious reform. Saying that the Prophet brought nothing new and there you will “find things only evil and inhuman” has drawn the ire of t...

As co-author of a newly released novel, WAKING GOD I would like to offer several opinions on the current state of the book publishing industry. This industry is controlled by the few at the expense of the many. It is filled with layer upon layer barbed wire fences and ‘keep out’ signs that would d...

As a society we are frequently admonished to be tolerant. What exactly is tolerance? According to Webster’s to tolerate is “to not interfere with; allow; permit…to recognize and respect (other’s beliefs, practices, etc.) without sharing them…to bear, or put up with (someone or something not especi...

Wars and rumors of wars have distracted the world and the media from an even greater and, more widespread disaster that we shall all confront. I have used the title of this article as a reference to the Biblical warning concerning the end of times. While I do not ascribe to common interpretation o...

They are essentially ineffective. To preface my remarks let me say that there are some UN organizations and some aspects of religious organizations that do add to the quality of human existence. However, as a Peacekeeper the UN is a failure. With regard to the practice of “loving thy neighbor,” chu...

The first point I must make is that any government or group that specifically targets civilians are, in my opinion, terrorists. That being said, the issue of so called Collateral Damage is one that is appearing more frequently in news reports from around the world. We are constantly bombarded with...

We are all too familiar with the term downsizing. The context is usually regarding corporations reducing staff to achieve greater economies and to reduce overhead. Of course that frequently means that they are out-sourcing their work to Asia.
There is another form of downsizing that almost nev...

It is somewhat humorous to hear all of the news about the Fed raising interest rates in order to curb inflation. After all almost the entire rise in prices are due predominately to one item, oil. My question is, “how are consumers paying for higher priced items?” Where does the money come from to p...

Regardless of what is said here or by others opposed to rampart globalization, the forces that support it are unstoppable. That said, stronger moves are being made with regards to economic globalization. The recent move to merge the NYSC with Europe is no secret. But be forewarned, these economic ...

The United States, France, England and Spain are all currently coping with a common problem, namely, immigration. I am not opposed to immigration and hold no bias against any cultural, racial or ethnic group. There is no question that the United States would not be what is today without the infusi...

There are numerous strategies to utilize in our Jihad, or holy war, against oil. If we truly desire to end our dependence on not just foreign, but oil in general, major investment in new technologies must be forthcoming. Does the taxpayer need to pay for these investments? Absolutely not; we have ...

Recent international events have added ?alternative fuel? to the fire for an American consumer and American government War on Oil. Activity in Latin American, China, Russia and Africa foreshadow things to come. If action does not come soon, we will be faced with a situation in which we will have t...

President Bush recently attributed the rising cost of oil and gas to gluttonous consumption patterns on the part of the American consumer. Let?s back this train up. Historically, Americans have been told that our resources were almost limitless. Up until the earlier seventies, Detroit bombarded t...

Wherever one turns, basic Christian precepts and dogmas are under attack. From the DaVinci Code, the History and National Geographic TV channels, to the Jesus Papers, the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Mary, and the soon to be released novel, Waking God, the very foundations of the Christian body o...
