Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips2009 Predictionclipped by: ColoradoRightclippers remarks: So all that will change for now will be the sudden absence of shrill complaints that we live in an America without a Constitution. Static, same-old, same-old government policy will, of course, be said to have altered radically (?hoped and changed?), but it will also be refashioned in the media as ?sober? and ?judicious?, as the administration moves ?in circumspect fashion? to probe and explore ?complex? and often ?paradoxical? matters of national security that ?indeed at the end of the day have no easy answers?. By July, we will come to feel that 2009 will be one of the most upbeat years in our history, as what used to be the news media? begins to get behind America and report on all the mysteriously wonderful things that are suddenly taking place. All the campaign talk of the Great Depression, a Vietnam-like war, and our shredded Constitution will now thankfully subside as the Obama administration assumes office and solves problems with conciliation, dialogue, and multilateral wisdom, rather than shrillness, unilateralism, preemption, and my-way-or-the-highway dogmatism. And when the temperatures rise or drop, the wind howls, the clouds burst forth or go away, the snow melts or piles up, it will be, well, nature that caused the havoc, not the current occupant of the White House who failed to sign Kyoto. As we watch the innocent die from natural mayhem, it will be due to the breakdown of local responders who now suddenly kill people, not federal inaction Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsDeath of "Clash of Civilizations" theoristclipped by: hayesstwclippers remarks: Though Cold War terminology persists (people still speak of "First World" and "Third World"), Huntingtons thesis seems to have been borne out by the reality of post-Cold War conflicts. Samuel P. Huntington, a political scientist best known for his views on the clash of civilizations, died Wednesday on Martha?s Vineyard. He was 81. Mr. Huntington argued that in a post-cold-war world, violent conflict would come not from ideological friction between nations, but from cultural and religious differences among the world?s major civilizations. He identified those civilizations as Western (including the United States and Europe), Latin American, Islamic, African, Orthodox (with Russia as a core state), Hindu, Japanese and ?Sinic? (including China, Korea and Vietnam). He made the argument in a 1993 article in the journal Foreign Affairs and then expanded the thesis into a book, ?The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order,? published in 1996. The book has been translated into 39 languages. Dan After Bush Manclipped by: bookwormyclippers remarks: Unpleasant episode from his unpopular presidency. CBS newsmans $70m lawsuit likely to deal Bush legacy a new blowAs George W Bush prepares to leave the White House, at least one unpleasant episode from his unpopular presidency is threatening to follow him into retirement. A $70m lawsuit filed by Dan Rather, the veteran former newsreader for CBS Evening News, against his old network is reopening the debate over alleged favourable treatment that Bush received when he served in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. Bush had hoped that this controversy had been dealt with once and for all during the 2004 election. Bird Flu Strikes anew in VitNamclipped by: nedhamson1clippers remarks: The closer we get to Lunar New Year for Asians across the globe, the more we will hear about "new" outbreaks of the human pandemic in waiting. It takes 16 weeks to raise chickens, ducks and geese for live sale at Lunar New Year. Billions of poultry are being brought to market for live sale and thus create the largest breading ground for new flu and a pandemic that may kill millions who have not the means to fight a new flu.  HANOI (Reuters) - Bird flu has resurfaced in poultry in northern Vietnam after many months without any cases, killing ducks and chickens at two farms, a state-run newspaper reported on Sunday.

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsForever Fierceclipped by: debbyski?Je cherche un billionaire,? Eartha Kitt purred last year from the stage of the Café Carlyle, the chic, intimate club in the Carlyle Hotel that had been her regular stomping ground for more than a decade. If this ageless catwoman, who died at 81 on Christmas Day, was an amusing caricature, the role was fueled by a steady current of anger. Her childhood rejection by both black and white society because of her mixed and uncertain parentage might have left her with a profound sense of having to go it alone  This cat who walked by herself had few qualms about criticizing the Vietnam War to Lady Bird Johnson when she visited the White House in 1968. Ms. Kitt paid dearly for her remarks when she found bookings canceled, and her career nearly evaporated for a number of years. You didn?t have to prove yourself in the bedroom with her, only in the boardroom and the bank. Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

Eartha Kitt - Santa Baby 2006.[Video] Eartha Kitt with Friends Santa Baby[Video] American singer and actress Eartha Kitt has died at the age 81, a family friend has said. Kitt was said to have been suffering from colon cancer. She was one of the few artists to be nominated in the Tony, Grammy and Emmy award categories and was a stalwart of the Manhattan cabaret scene. She famously played Catwoman in the 1960s Batman television series and was known for her distinctive, feline drawl. Kitt was blacklisted in the US in the late 1960s after speaking out against the Vietnam War at a White House function. However, she returned triumphantly to New Yorks Broadway in a 1974 production, Timbuktu!, and continued to perform regularly in theatre shows and concert halls. She rose to the top of the entertainment world from humble origins. Her mother worked on a cotton plantation and was just 14 when she gave birth. Kitt was then given away at the age of eight and sent to live with an aunt in New York.      Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.

The case involves black-armband protests by students against the Watson Chapel School District?s adoption of a new uniform policy. Nearly 40 years ago, the Supreme Court upheld the right of public school students to wear black armbands to protest U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, writing in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist. (1969) that students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the ?schoolhouse gate.? Watson Chapel school officials punished three students for violating a so-called ?uniformity? requirement, which provided that: ?any attempt to defeat the uniformity intended by this policy is prohibited.?

Clipmarks | Vietnam ClipsTHE LIE OF THE CENTURYclipped by: lifecyce1898clippers remarks: "All war is based on deception." -- Sun Tzu, The Art of War There is nothing new in a government lying to their people to start a war. Indeed because most people prefer living in peace to bloody and horrific death in war, any government that desires to initiate a war usually lies to their people to create the illusion that support for the war is the only possible choice they can make.  President McKinley told the American people that the USS Maine had been sunk in Havana Harbor by a Spanish mine  Hitler used this principle of lying to his own people to initiate an invasion.  FDR claimed Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack. It wasnt.  President Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to send Americans off to fight in Vietnam.

[Video] MLK: Why I Oppose the Vietnam Warclipped by: katsteevnsclippers remarks: MP3  I looked around the web and couldnt find audio of what is in my opinion Kings best, most powerful, most beautiful, and most pertinent speech, "Why I Oppose the War In Vietnam". So here it is, in MP3 and complete, enjoy. Its a discussion of Americas motives for involvement in Vietnam and a little bit about our hushed history, amazing how little has changed, the speech could have been made yesterday. In 1964, the year Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize, Time Magazine called him man of the year, but they called this speech "a demagogic slander that sounded like a script for Radio Hanoi." Sort of like what they said about Susan Sontags beautiful critique of America in Afghanistan. Made one year to the day before he was assassinated, April 4, 1967.

Many more Wars are being fought with American Weapons this administration and those before were only too happy to supply. US Costs of Iraq, Afghan Wars Top $900 Billion: ReportWASHINGTON - U.S. military operations, including the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, have cost $904 billion since 2001 and could top $1.7 trillion by 2018, even with big cuts in overseas troop deployments, a report said on Monday. A new study released by the nonpartisan Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, or CSBA, said the Iraq conflicts $687 billion price tag alone now exceeds the cost of every past U.S. war except for World War II, when expenditures are adjusted for inflation. With another $184 billion in spending for Afghanistan included, the two conflicts surpass the cost of the Vietnam War by about 50 percent, the report said. ![[In this March 31, 2008 file photo, an Iraqi family reacts as U.S. Army soldiers from K Troop, Third Squadron, Third Armored Cavalry Regiment detain their relative after a rocket propelled grenade attack on U.S. troops in Mosul, 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq.

CSBA said war cost projections would climb to between $2 trillion and $2.5 trillion, if all costs were covered by borrowing.

Scientists have discovered more than 1,000 species in Southeast Asias Greater Mekong region in the past decade, including a spider as big as a dinner plate, the World Wildlife Fund said Monday. A rat thought to have become extinct 11 million years ago and a cyanide-laced, shocking pink millipede were among creatures found in what the group called a "biological treasure trove". The species were all found in the rainforests and wetlands along the Mekong River, which flows through Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and the southern Chinese province of Yunnan. "It doesnt get any better than this," Stuart Chapman, director of WWFs Greater Mekong Programme, was quoted as saying in a statement by the group. Tags: agent orange Shark fins for soup?

Salted, unsalted, dried ... If you want em, you can have them shipped by the kilo, as many as you want. I checked on Alibaba this morning and found several pages of companies selling shark fins. On the first page alone there were companies based in the Maldives (three), Singapore (four), Indonesia (two), Bangladesh, Cameroon, Thailand, Vietnam, Ecuador, Spain, United Arab Emirates, and elsewhere. Perhaps the conservation groups, aside from calling for a ban on shark-fin soup, ought to also go after Alibaba and demand that the global-marketplace website stop allowing the sale of shark fins.

So we issued a screaming response. But it was not terrorism; we were not engaged in a campaign to kill and injure people indiscriminately, spreading fear and suffering for political ends. The antiwar movement in all its commitment, all its sacrifice and determination, could not stop the violence unleashed against Vietnam. And therein lies cause for real regret. President-elect Obama and I sat on a board together; we lived in the same diverse and yet close-knit community; we sometimes passed in the bookstore. We didn?t pal around, and I had nothing to do with his positions. I knew him as well as thousands of others did, and like millions of others, I wish I knew him better. Demonization, guilt by association, and the politics of fear did not triumph, not this time. Let?s hope they never will again.

A host of new species has been found in the area, which is so full of life that previously unknown animals and plants have been turning up at a rate of two a week for a decade. At least 1,068 new species were identified in the Greater Mekong from 1997 to 2007 along with several thousand tiny invertebrates, the Times reports. Annamite striped rabbits, or Nesolagus timminsi, with black and brown fur, were discovered in Vietnam and Laos in 2000 and are only the second species of striped rabbit to be identified.

I went back to my vegetarian imitation turkey, suddenly realizing that all the anger and the guilt that had been haunting me all day were gone - replaced with a sense of an accomplished mission. Come to think of it, I just saved a whole alien world from the corruptive American influence! It felt almost as good as when the US Forces withdrew from Vietnam and Somalia, or when we defeated Republicans in the midterm elections. I adjusted the electronic shiatsu massage pad on my couch and turned on CNN. "Who are these Americans you speak of?" "Im glad you asked," I said. "Americans are the most biased, oppressive, exploitive, insensitive, homophobic, racist, sexist, bloodthirsty, greedy, capitalistic, environmentally-unfriendly people who live in the ugliest country on planet Earth. You just landed in it." The alien moved his eyes from the vegetarian imitation turkey, bottles of Evian water and his scoop of Ben & Jerry ice cream to the flat-screen high-definition TV, computer, dishwasher, cordless phone, and a thermostat on the wall next to the bookshelves with collectors editions of Marx, Lenin, Chomsky, and Michael Moore. "For a citizen of such a hideous nation youre doing alright," he said. "Are you some sort of a king or a dictator?" "A king?" I rolled my eyes. "I work on an educational grant from the government."
