News Trail March 30, 2006: UN GIVES IRAN 30 DAYS TO HALT URANIUM SCHEME March 30, 2006

Iran's Nuclear Program | Uranium Enriching Scheme | World News

The story begins (or the plot thickens from here) when more than 2 years ago Iran is issued a serious warning about Uranium Enriching schemes that could lead to the development of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Well it was Iraq and the US caught and brought Saddam to justice, even though, if I remember it correctly that he has allowed the inspectors in. I think they may have a much rough time with the guy in Iran because he is talking big and is threaten big all like now. Take a look back at this story as it unfolds today.

News Trail March 30, 2006: ISRAEL GIVES GREEN LIGHT TO SET BORDERS March 30, 2006

Israel's Promised Land | World News

Israelites, Israelis, Jews, Hebrews, Semitics, GOD's people, the elect, The Nation of Israel whatever you call them are some successful people. Now I do not know a Jew personally but I know that they are chosen and special people of GOD. Wherever they go you will find them prospering. Nonetheless is has been prophecy that they would be scattered to all parts of the world, but the blessing of Abraham their father still rests upon them. What is also prophecy is the regathering of these chosen people to their promised land and under a nation called Israel. This prophecy has already started since 1948 on their celebration as a nation. They have a promised land and that land has borders.

News Trail March 30, 2006: IN WAKE OF ISRAELI PULLOUT, EGYPT CONTROLS PA March 30, 2006

Egypt and the PA | Israel | World News

Egypt is one the oldest countries in the world. A friend of mine told me informally that the country is over 7000 years old. I find it interesting the relationship that Egypt has with Israel. Egypt was always seen as a worldly force to be dealt with. Even though she (Egypt) is not a Superpower like the EU or the fading US and one time USSR she has an interesting role to play with the PA who claims that Israel is on their land. Will Egypt have a stronger role to play in these latter times to rule over Israel as she once did several millenia ago?

News Trail March 29, 2006: SPINAL CORD INJURY EASED BY STEM CELLS March 29, 2006

Stem Cell Reseach | World News

Stem Cell Research and Spinal Cords both are two major components and precursors to the elements of advanced biological cloning and to a lesser extent (coming in the near future) electronic and maybe even cybernetic implants. The stem cell is closely linked to genetic engineering. When this type of research is coupled with brain and other CNS (Central Nervous System) off-shoots such as Spinal Taps, etc. we get closer to the novelty of electronic implantation with a close link to the CNS. Now they have been some implants in reality that are neither electronic nor deal with the CNS such pacemakers (electronic but not cybernetic), structural implants such as prostheses, cosmetic implants (breasts, face, etc.) but there are soon on the horizon those that will be implanted not to be as a form of control directly to the CNS but indirectly through persuasion. How so? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is a new type of chip that be implanted under the skin for the cause of security monitoring. It is planned to be used as a security screener when travelling local or abroad (toll booths, licenses and other road IDs using roads and highways legally, passport IDs) and for financial security and transactions (credit score, bank account, bills and leans). All this can be implanted in your body or a initially planned in the products you consume, and all this can lead to an invasion of privacy. But how is it indirect? Initially it can be seen as a useful bit of technology to store and create convenience for Information Retrieval. But plans ae under way to use that information as a marketing tool. These chips can be used to gather specific statistical data on how you consume and not consume (yes landfills will have the ability to scan your trash (products with IDs you throw away) through RFID to record how much stuff you consume or not consume) then the advertisers will know what type of products to suggest to your CNS when you enter their place of business, all because of the signal or information your body (future times) or your clothing, or credit card (near future) will give out. Serious stretch? I don't think so. You may not be able to make the link but check out this story.

News Trail March 29, 2006: AL QAIDA DEEPENS ROOTS IN LEBANON March 29, 2006

Al Qaeda | Al Qaeda Origins | Al Qaida | World News

It is amazing how this Al Qaida (Al Qaeda, different pronounciation and spelling: Al Ki-da or Al Ki-ee-da vs Al Kay-da) group got so much real press in North America since 911. I am sure the news buffs (those who keep abreast of all the world happening would have known more about the dreaded terrorist and religious sect pre-911. However it is interesting to look at some of the speculations of their origins and their roots. Where they looked to do most of their recruiting. Some say Pakistan, look at this report.

News Trail March 28, 2006: U.S. REDUCES FORCES IN IRAQ BY 35,000 March 28, 2006

US Forces in Iraq | World News

The trail continues with more than 2 years ago US troops were reduced in Iraq. So how did the number rise again? If so many came home or were reduced how is it that they have surpassed the amount of civilians that died in 911. Now when serious judgment is needed to either reassign troops or just reduce them again, people are calling for more troops in Iraq and more war! Iran anyone?

Innocent 12 year Old Dies From Gunshot Wound

opinion | World News

I posted this on my blog but as not everyone reads my blogs I though I would post it here as well.

This would be the saddest story that I have heard of for awhile. It is of an innocent 12 year old boy who was killed Friday night (18th April 08) in front of a store in Wilkinsburg. They say he was not the intended victim but that would be a small consolation to the parents of Kholen Germany.

Iron My Shirt Hillary

Hillary Clinton | Iron my shirt | New Hampshire primary | Protester | World News

Was it a prank? Was it staged by Hillary's camp? A protest of some sort? Or just some sexist hecklers?

Whatever it was, it was certainly funny.

If you missed it, Watch this video on YouTube of the hecklers who interrupted Senator Hillary Clinton with chants of "iron my shirt" as she spoke to a crowd in Salem New Hampshire on Monday.
