Confusion: UN wanted Zelaya to stay, now wants Gbagbo to go; backs oppositions, despite National Constitutions? (Videos)

-Posted by D.C. Worth, for Barbay (France/US)

Everywhere you look you see rejection for "One world" Global Governance... Likely to spark the need for nations with resources, to strengthen the Sovereignty of their own Constitutional Council...

ALL Nations (large or small) should retain the right to arbitrate their own elections, in peace; without a potentially "destabilizing" foreign press.
Especially when the number of voters largely exceed those on the voting list... Said to be the reason why this Leader halted voting blocks for his opponent... (Int'l-style "ACORN" is a reality.)


"Review of elections" are well within the Ivory Coast's Constitution... Gbagbo also requests Int'l panel to review; requests his opponent to support recounts of the election.
-Video, worth the view...



I'm not in support of any leader... I just question the method of "Global Ganging"... And the rush; as Laurent Gbagbo opposition already has its cabinets set up, ambassadors, and UN envoys, after an "unofficial" announcement of election result...


The new Cote d'Ivoire Ambassador Yousoufou Bamba says that the real issue is Human Rights; but there are no convictions against Gbagbo...
At least, not at this point...





With the over-all issue of individuality and struggle for Independence for Africans of history; this country needs to be able to solve its own disputes independently from Foreign influence, and Foreign Media... Lest this leads to questions of the timing; and deepened lack of trust...

The Ivory Constitutional Council remain the only authority to provide the final results of the elections not the Independent Electoral Commission...In so many ways, this has vague similarities with those who fought the UN to protect their Honduran Constitution...

Leaving you with a few videos...

In the close of a very bizzare 2010...
It's not likely that man will be kept from chartering his own destiny, or achieving his own goals... He will not be hindered in his promise of expanding earth's future; for very long... Because he remains consumed with unraveling mystery; and this is human nature... I see a, "where there's a will, there's a way" greater return engagement, in the not too distant future...

Only 20 to 30% believe that Demcare will be good for the country; the rest are called “racist/fascists? Healthcare legal update

-Posted by D.C. Worth, for Barbay (France/US)

"Finding out what's in it" is sparking several new factors (state to state) which validate a repeal... "The individual mandate is not the only problem with the health law. Its draconian Medicaid mandates on states exceed Congress's spending power." (Barnett)
-Article by Randy Barnett: #"The requirement in Article I, section 8, that all taxes be expended for the “general welfare” helps explain why this is unconstitutional coercion." [Read]
The only groups that want this bill, are those "exempted" from it...
Newly revealed costs will triple Ins rates; despite Dem's "ration and restricted care" offsets (as the Insured will fund Democrat's "partisan exempted")

-Here's a polite and focused GOP discussion...

With a correction of Charles's claims that these aren't Death panels:
FACT: Nearly everyone in the developed world knows that when patients die while in a system that refuses them immediate care and also refuses to allow them to seek an alternative in their own country - It's a death panel.

"Sounds" of words bother Dems, and not so much "reality." They LIE about Bush Veto; Sec 1233 "end of life provision"; aka: Death Panels
-Video: Note female Dem's disrespect for these gentlemen: [View]

As many more states are taking legal recourse, to terminate this Bill, and restructure it:
More from Randy Barnett:
"The conclusion is clear. So long as Congress insists on threatening the taxpayers of any state that withdraws from Medicaid by sending their tax money to the other states—and, in the process, depriving them of the funds needed to assist their poorest citizens—federal courts should follow Dole and rule that the new Medicaid requirements are unconstitutional." [Read]
Tax-payers have suggested many viable alternatives...
But destroying over 70% of the market, is not one of them....
To name a couple... How about requiring visitors to obtain travel Insurance; as many Nations do... And how about saving "hundreds of billions" by prohibiting "anchor baby citizenship."
Every Nation must have a limit to which legal citizens must take-on.

US Navy launches first Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS)

-Posted by D.C. Worth, for Barbay (France/US)

-Among other advantages... "The system promises to allow the Navy to launch a wider range of aircraft from a carrier -- including everything from lightweight unmanned aircraft to heavy strike fighters -- and do so while also bringing "substantial improvements" to weight, maintenance, & efficiency."
-BIG VIEW: [HERE] (and video below)
-HT: posted by: ACE - (from CDR M)

A commenter says:
"Interesting. The U.S. Navy is getting into the 21st Century in a big way. They're working on electromagnetic rail guns and now this. IIRC, future ships are going to have electric propulsion like some large cruise ships too thus eliminating the need for long shafts and tons of heavy machinery that are associated with that method."
-Caption: LAKEHURST, N.J. (Dec. 16, 2010)
The Navy launches the first aircraft, an F/A-18E Super Hornet, from the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) at Naval Air Systems Command, Lakehurst, N.J. The Navy has used steam catapults for more than 50 years to launch aircraft from aircraft carriers.

EMALS is a complete carrier-based launch system designed for Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and future Ford-class carriers. Newer, heavier and faster aircraft will result in launch energy requirements approaching the limits of the steam catapult, increasing maintenance on the system.
U.S. Navy Release:
The system's technology allows for a smooth acceleration at both high and low speeds, increasing the carrier's ability to launch aircraft in support of the warfighter.

EMALS will provide the capability for launching all current and future carrier air wing platforms from lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles to heavy strike fighters.
First ship components scheduled delivery to CVN 78 -2011.

Shocking old 'conspiracy footage' of the parallels of history

NASA Science-News, asks the proverbial question:

Why red? [Dr. Tony Phillips]
A quick trip to the Moon provides the answer:

"Imagine yourself standing on a dusty lunar plain looking up at the sky. Overhead hangs Earth, nightside down, completely hiding the sun behind it. The eclipse is underway.

You might expect Earth seen in this way to be utterly dark, but it's not. The rim of the planet is on fire! As you scan your eye around Earth's circumference, you're seeing every sunrise and every sunset in the world, all of them, all at once.

This incredible light beams into the heart of Earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the Moon into a great red orb...

Back on Earth, the shadowed Moon paints newly fallen snow with unfamiliar colors--not much luster, but lots of beauty." [NASA]

Weekly GOP Address: Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) "Changes Americans voted for in Nov, are already affecting Washington"

-Posted by D.C. Worth, for Barbay (France/US)

Map compilation shows what "progressive Democrats" did with the leverage voters gave them; starting 2006; a super majority; & to 2011 ...Now let's hope that Republicans, Tea Party, & Independents, can save our nation.

Image: [ENLARGE]


Sen. Cornyn says, "Republicans prevented a massive, job-killing 'New Year's Day tax increase.'... This bipartisan agreement was made possible because voters gave Republicans much more leverage at the negotiating table...

Our leverage forced the White House to abandon its 'class-warfare' rhetoric; stop pandering to the President's left-wing base; and do the right thing for American taxpayers and job creators."
Republicans "[held] the line on reckless federal spending."
Sen. Cornyn explains, "Despite their willingness to work with Republicans on taxes, Senate Democrats went their own way on spending by proposing a nearly $1.3 trillion omnibus bill on the American people and by insisting we'd have to vote on it before anyone had the time to figure out what was in it."

"Senate Republicans stood together but we did not stand alone. Millions of Americans made their voices heard on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. You lit up the phone lines across the Capitol and across the Nation. Thank you for doing that. You helped strengthened the resolve of the Republican Caucus and rattled the nerves of the big spenders on the other side of the aisle."
