Their remedies for the drug war next door sound simplistic, but at least they're paying attention.<BR/><BR/> While most of us north of the border have been absorbed with our presidential sweepstakes and other happenings, or southern neighbor has exploded into the full-scale drug violence previously associated with Colombia or Peru.<BR/><BR/>For now, we're not sending troops, just money. The Senate last week approved a $1.6 billion, three-year package of anti-drug assistance to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Known as the "Merida Initiative," it includes $400 million for military equipment and technical assistance for Mexico's anti-drug fight. The bill was passed earlier by the House, and President Bush is expected to sign it.<BR/><BR/><B>Mexico's government cheered the bill, because it waters down proposed restrictions that would have required Mexico to change the way it handles allegations of human rights abuses by its military.</B> <BR/><BR/>Mexican leaders threatened to reject the money, if there were too many restrictions on their sovereignty.<BR/></I>desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37101960551354877652008-06-30T08:07:00.000-04:002008-06-30T08:07:00.000-04:00Well, well, well ...Our good and only sometimes re...Well, well, well ...<BR/><BR/>Our good and only sometimes reliable source, See-more Hersh, tells US that Team43 has followed the course laid out many, many moons ago, between myself and buddy larsen, at the BC, what, three generations ago.<BR/><BR/>Clandestine ops, in Iran, using <BR/><BR/><B><I>covert activities involve support of the minority Ahwazi Arab and Baluchi groups </I></B><BR/><BR/>Just four or five years behind the curve.

The question is whether that is the way your universe really works."<BR/><BR/>Your univers? My universe? According to Peake, we may each inhabit a singular universe that comprises only one facet of a complex, holographic multiverse which literally requires immortality.<BR/><BR/>What intrigues Dr. Greyson and many other readers is Peake's astonishing thesis that, despite his book's title--and despite appearances much to the contrary--physical death in the way our senses testify to it, is not possible at the quantum level. <BR/><BR/>Instead, the author marshals compelling evidence from contemporary neuroscience and quantum physics, combined with insights from the great mystical traditions, to explain how we may come to relive our lives.<BR/><BR/>You may want to visit the author's Web site at <A HREF="http://cheatingtheferryman.blogspot.com/2007/10/dreams-that-cheat-time.html" REL="nofollow">CheatingTheFerryman</A> and you can access a recent interview at <A HREF="http://www.astraeamagazine.com/" REL="nofollow">astreaemagazine</A> <BR/><BR/>from Vital SignsBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-16180408756751627422008-06-30T02:35:00.000-04:002008-06-30T02:35:00.000-04:00You be the judge.Doubt--Curse of Blessing?The grea...You be the judge.<BR/><BR/><I><B>Doubt--Curse of Blessing?</I></B><BR/><BR/><I>The great Victor Hugo, suffering in exile, was seeking answers to spiritual questions when a spirit identifying himself as Martin Luther reportedly communicated with him (via medium). Hugo asked Luther why God does not better reveal himself, to which Luther responded: "Because doubt is the instrument which forges the human spirit. If the day were to come when the human spirit no longer doubted, the human soul would fly off and leave the plough behind, for it would have acquired wings. The earth would lie fallow. Now, God is the sower and man is the harvester. The celestial seed demands that the human ploughshare shall remain in the furrow of life."</I><BR/><BR/>from Vital Signs<BR/><BR/>Luther would say something like that.
