Trevor Loudon wrote an article that each and every one of us should read and take note of: Intifada USA? American Radicals Build Ties to “Palestinian” Revolutionaries. I agree completely with Trevor when he says that 2015 could usher in chaos, unrest and violence as we have not seen in our lifetime. The Communists are now joining hands in America with the Radical Islamists, forming an American Intifada – an uprising, resistance, revolt. They are using racism as the building blocks and their hate for America as the glue to forward massive havoc and violence in our streets. The riots...

<p>WASHINGTON -- Sensitive national-security information was mistakenly released by the Treasury Department to former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, but no criminal statutes were violated, records show.</p> <p>Mr. O'Neill drew on some of the material -- part of a cache of 19,000 documents -- for a memoir released in January that was critical of President Bush. When a document stamped "Secret" was displayed on a CBS "60 Minutes" episode concerning the book, the Treasury Department sought an investigation.</p>

In addition to major telecommunications firms aiming to influence the public debate on net neutrality, there’s the Ford Foundation, the second-largest private foundation in the world. “If you are a foundation for justice in the world, and you don’t understand that the Internet is going to be a major battleground in this century, and you’re not engaged in that fight and supporting people who are concerned about access and security, you’re going to be left out of one of the most important justice issues of the day,” Foundation President Darren Walker told the Council on Foreign Relations this summer. “And...

Democrats seek to curb attack ads... Dukakis heads watchdog panel... The state Democratic Party has created a four-member panel, headed by former governor Michael S. Dukakis, that will review campaign advertisements and publicly rebuke candidates who use negative attacks. Party chairman Philip W. Johnston created the panel and will serve on it, along with Dukakis and Cameron F. Kerry, brother of US Senator John F. Kerry; and Katherine M. Clark of Melrose, a former state Senate candidate who is chairing a statewide campaign effort for the Democratic Party. Johnston, elected party chairman in 2000, said he believes that a major...

Teresa Heinz Kerry has lashed out against the "scoundrels” and "sunshine patriots” who have criticized Rep. John Murtha for calling for an immediate redeployment of U.S. troops in Iraq. "The orchestrated assault on Murtha should alarm us all,” the Heinz family heiress – wife of Sen. John Kerry – writes in an opinion piece carried by the Johnstown (Pa.) Tribune-Democrat. "Just when you thought the debate could sink no lower, the politicians committed to staying the course in Iraq turned the fire hoses of smear and intimidation on this icon of national security. "They said he had given aid and...

PHILADELPHIA - A lawsuit filed by Teresa Heinz Kerry after her first husband, U.S. Sen. John Heinz, died in a midair collision in 1991 was settled for $15 million, according to newly unsealed court records. Last year, attorneys for The Philadelphia Inquirer sought to unseal the settlement papers when U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., ran for president; Kerry married Heinz's widow in 1995. At first, attorneys for the Heinz estate tried to prevent the Montgomery County Court records from being unsealed, citing the family's need for security and privacy. In October 2004, Montgomery County Judge Paul Tressler unsealed portions of...

BOSTON --Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is heading for Nantucket with plans for an Aug. 12 fundraiser. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife will spend a week on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket vacationing and attending the fundraiser. Proceeds will go to Hillary Clinton's re-election campaign. The fundraiser will be held at the Nantucket home of Elizabeth Frawley Bagley and Smith W. Bagley. The Bagleys are Democratic activists who have previously hosted the Clintons. Tickets to the event will cost $1,000, The Boston Sunday Globe reported.

It looks like Teresa Heinz Kerry is rubbing off on her husband. And on Sen. Hillary Clinton. For the Republican Party, this is a very good thing. You'll recall that last month, Mrs. Heinz Kerry put on her shiniest tinfoil hat and blamed the Democrats' loss in November on rigged voting machines. As reported in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Mrs. Heinz Kerry openly questioned the election results and fixated on areas of the country where optical scanners were used to record votes. "Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Mrs. Heinz Kerry intoned, and it...

TERESA'S BACK: ELECTION WAS HACKED! Tue Mar 08 2005 09:32:36 ET Teresa Heinz Kerry is openly skeptical about results from November's election, the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER reports, particularly in sections of the country where optical scanners were used to record votes. "Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz Kerry said. She identified both as "hard-right" Republicans. She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines." Heinz Kerry did not offer any specific evidence that votes on the machines were altered. "We in the United States are not a banana republic,"...

Move over Teresa Heinz-Kerry, here comes Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. Lansdowne Technologies Inc. (LTI), the Paul Martin corporation that somehow disappeared from Martin's public disclosure statements circa 1995, is in a business similar to the Heinz-Kerry charitable organization that links leftwing activists and UN radicals to specially designed Internet communications and virtual private networks. Between the woman who coveted being America's First Lady and the Prime Minister of the country next door, top advocates of One World Government are being expedited in droves onto the Information Highway. Through the Tides Foundation, back in the early 1990s Heinz-Kerry (Mrs. John...

We received this in our e-mail pile without any indication of who wrote it. It was so good, we decided to post it anyway. To Michael Moore: Sit down and shut up. Your fifteen minutes are up. And do something about your hair. Looks can be deceiving, but not in your case... To Jimmy Carter: Big mistake to sit down next to Michael Moore at the convention. Spend more time with drywall and the glue gun. Or start lusting in your heart again. To Tom Daschle: If you lean too far to the left, voters will tend to lean right...

President George W. Bush on Sen. John Kerry 's constantly changing positions on the war in Iraq: "He has sat on the fence for so long that the iron has entered his soul." Senator Kerry on Bush: "I would trust my honorable opponent with anything, except, that is, public office." Bush on Kerry 's campaigning: "He went around the country stirring up apathy." Kerry on Bush 's plain-spoken speeches: "He has never been known to use a word that might send a listener to the dictionary." The media, after listening to Bush 's stump speech over and over: "It is...

ODE TO THE LEFT BE-HEINZ When polls were closed, We all supposed It couldn't be much closer! Now Libs are torn, downcast...Forlorn, And poor Soros moroser! The votes were cast, And now at last The counting would begin. Monsieur LaMoore Was very sure His flick would do George in. But now instead, The states are Red, And Hollywood is Blue.

The Kerry crowd Was brash and loud; The cool and hip were...

If anyone has some major rehabilitation work to do in the new year, it is Teresa Heinz Kerry. As the Kerrys head for their swank vacation home this year without the press corps tallying how much it cost, or the Secret Service following too closely on the slopes, the might-have-been first lady and still extremely major philanthropist has some major thinking to do about the damage she did to her own reputation in the major run that just ended. It started out just fine. In her first interviews, Mrs. Heinz Kerry put to bed the rumors that she really regarded...

She was running behind schedule that day, and the mostly female crowd waiting for her was restive. There is only so much multitasking that can be accomplished on a folding chair when the speaker has already run 90 minutes late, and many women were murmuring about the children they had to pick up and jobs they had to get back to. Even one of the warm-up speakers joked that they should all get a free bottle of ketchup in recompense, and some in the audience eventually gave up, explaining themselves as they headed out the door. But anyone who was...

Calling the 2004 presidential election the beginning of a fresh start for America, Teresa Heinz Kerry asked supporters at a Monday Rally at Scranton High School to "vote often" today. "Do you know how to vote often?" the wife of Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry asked a crowd of just over 1,000 in the school's auditorium. "You vote once, and then you take one, two, three, four, five people to vote with you. That's voting often, so vote often." Citing the loss of thousands of jobs, rising health care costs, a soaring federal budget deficit and the high number of...

Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, has had a remarkable life even if it does not end up in the White House. Her name alone -- Teresa Thierstein Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry -- suggests the unusual path followed by the woman born to Portuguese parents in the then-Portuguese colony of Mozambique in 1938. After studying in South Africa and Switzerland, the young Teresa Simoes-Ferreira moved to the United States to put her fluency in five languages to work at the United Nations. She married John Heinz, scion of the Pittsburgh-based Heinz food condiment company, in 1966....

A Montgomery County judge unsealed yesterday portions of a civil lawsuit brought by Teresa Heinz Kerry over the 1991 death of her first husband, U.S. Sen. John Heinz. Judge Paul W. Tressler's ruling was a split decision for the parties - Heinz Kerry and The Inquirer. While he unsealed all pleadings, motions, petitions and orders, Tressler said that discovery materials in the lawsuit file could be kept secret. Tressler ordered the file be open for public inspection on Monday. But yesterday afternoon, the state Supreme Court granted Heinz Kerry's attorneys a stay that would keep the file closed until the...

The year: 2002. The game: Steelers versus Patriots. AFC Championship Game. [This creates tensions in the Kerry household, because John Kerry avows himself a Pats fan (Football Fans for Truth has not been able to confirm this) and Teresa Heinz Kerry, a popular Pittsburgh figure because of her work with Heinz Family Foundation, swears that no matter what, "root for the Steelers" (Cite: Boston Herald, 1/23/2002).] Late second quarter. Patriots receiver David Patten catches a touchdown pass from then Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe. The crowd goes wild. Are the Kerrys sitting in the stands, one glumstruck, one cheering wildly? No....
