BY MICHAEL BAZELEY Mercury News Staff Writer Just two years ago, Cupertino Union School District's unusual Chinese-English language program was no more than a dream for a small group of parents.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 7, 1999 CONTACT: Joe Giganti SLOUCHING TOWARDS KENNEBUNKPORT (Washington, DC) In recent weeks, George W. Bush has embarked upon what is obviously a campaign orchestrated by his father to pander to the Establishment in the hopes that he will continue his front-running status as the darling of the "middle-of-the-road" America he hopes to woo in the 2000 election. Recently, in his zeal to be "liked," he has even attacked Judge Robert Bork and those fellow conservatives who believe in Judeo-Christian ethics and the rule of law by claiming they are simply "negativists." Judicial Watch is nonpartisan ...

George Dub'ya is getting to be a great big grandiloquent bore ---- George W. has decided that he had the vote of the Right in his pocket, so now he can go around and insult fellow stalwart Republicans and conservatives in general for not being "compassionate", somehow morphing into a McCain-Kennedy copulation which is now starting to look like a Walter Mondale with an "R" by his name. Beyond the unnerving specter it creates in re-enforcing the fear of the N.W.O. in the more adamant of the Right, the very indolent way George Dub'ya has conferred his grand-standing to be ...

The Decadence of the West The God of Destruction What we are seeing in China, the so-called celebration of the "50th", is not a celebration at all, but the ugly specter of evil. Some believe the answer to our problems is somewhere to the East, where the sun rises. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. Well, China is in the East, and look at it. No, the answer isn't necessarily found looking East. We hear the East speak of the "decadence of the West". Having clarified my position that the East has no more answers ...

AFRICANS STILL WAITING FOR HOUSE HILLARY PROMISED THEM I was in Chinatown (San Francisco) the other day and met an African tourist from Nigeria, who was here because of some work he was doing for a major oil company.

My name is Isa. I am four years old, and I stand four feet, two inches tall. I have never committed any crime. But I am told by the Democratic Party that I am guilty of every historical crime because I am a white male. The Democratic Party told a lot of people about misdeeds that some white people did. I didn’t do it. But, they say because of these misdeeds, and, because I look like these other people, that I must be held accountable for reparation, and by very birth, be suspect of anticipated evil intentions they say that ...

Jim Jones and the Democratic Party JIM JONES and THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY "It takes a village to raise a child" (Pol Pot, 1973, address to the People’s Council on Independence). It takes a village to raise a child. Why, just look at Jonestown. The People’s Democratic Republic of Kampuchea was one BIG village. In fact, cities weren’t allowed in the Democratic Republic. They were emptied, and every one moved to the "village". Life, and death, was one BIG village. The Jim Jones’ of the world want their village to raise your child. The Pol Pot’s of the world want ...

UTOPIA UTOPIA This about UTOPIA. UTOPIA  is something that elements within the Left want to achieve. UTOPIA was also a periodical. It was published in Italy during the first half of the 20th Century.

Benito Mussolini. Fascism. Fascism is an Italian word. Mr. Mussolini, he was the GODFATHER of the word. Since he was the "Father of Fascism", then if we are going to understand ...

A HERD OF SHEEP A HERD OF SHEEP -------------------------------------- I have heard some of the forum ask, should we start a "counter" revolution to the "big sister is watching you government" that the 60's radicals now in power have thrust upon us as they try to re-engineer our society by means of government? And I answer you with a question - "start" a revolution? My friend, it has already started, and you are invited. And I ask you, what have the 60's radicals, who now seem to have taken the reigns of many of our institutions and government, what ...

THE TIMES THAT TRY MENS SOULS No Brother, No Sister without a Gun1970 is more than a 100 years beyond the War of the States, the so-called war that ended slavery, but subjugation is alive and well. The black community must not be fooled by the white elite who say they are one of the brothers or sisters because they are Left Wing, for it is not a question of Right Wing or Left Wing. A black brother and a black sister is neither Left nor Right, yet again Tom foolery comes in the form of the plantation owner ...

SPAMMING BRADLEY Basically, now that the phony liberal media has figured out that their Democratic candidate of choice, Al Gore, is a loser, in horror of the very real possibility that the Republicans may soon control both Congress and the White House in the 2000 post-Clinton fatigue, the phony liberal media is now scrambling to jelly Bill Bradley down our esophagus with a Bradley-idolatry media blitz, the basic theme being that since he looks like a basset hound and bopped a basketball around, he's an "average guy". The "average guy" deal works like this: the phony liberal media blitzes ...
