My Experience with Religious Bigotry, Antisemitism: Oct 3, 2006

This scandal of the House of Representatives reaches beyond the Capital Dome.

Foley has opened Pandora's Box. This man has been lusting after young men for years while everyone looked the other way. You aren't going to tell me this is a surprise to Jeb Bush. He and Foley were involved on many issues regarding Missing and Exploited Children.

Florida has a completely horrible record regarding children and attracting pedophiles. This is huge. Years of systematic evasion of law enforcement. I don't know. It seems much larger than just a resignation. It doesn't track well with this level of negligence at all levels of government including Florida government.

It's smells all "W"rong to me.

I want children to be safe, young Pages to be safe. It just seems as though not knowing how demented Foley actually is leaves a large 'gap' in knowing where to turn to begin. The Page Program needs to be in contact 'confidentially' to be sure they aren't having issues. To know that they are doing well or at least not affected by any of this influence.

I am worried. Very worried. Pedophiles, and we don't know whom he covets exactly, (A warrant to search Foley's residence should be conducted.) don't easily resolve their fetishes.

I just don't feel good about this. It's leaves too many unanswered questions. Years of them.

Sweden's PA gains 85% of Congo oil licence
Sweden's PA Resources has agreed to buy ADECO Congo BVI, whose subsidiary ADECO Congo SA owns 85% of an oil production sharing agreement offshore the Republic of Congo, the Oslo-listed energy firm said on Tuesday.ADECO Congo SA holds the stake in the production sharing contract in the offshore block Marine XIV, which is an area of about 265 square km, PA Resources said. The national oil company of Congo, SNPC, holds the remaining 15% interest."Marine XIV lies in shallow water, in the heart of the main producing region of Congo Brazzaville, where adjacent field production is currently around 75 000 barrels of oil per day (bopd)," PA Resources AB said in a statement.PA Resources said earlier exploration on the block made at least one oil discovery, testing at rates of 1 500 bopd."The discovery was estimated by an independent auditor to contain probable reserves of 45-million barrels of oil," it said."Given rig availability our plan is to develop this block as soon as possible," PA Resources Chief Executive Ulrik Jansson said in the statement.

Deaths in eastern DR Congo attack ITURI,Congo (bbc) -- Fourteen people have been killed in fighting between rebels and government forces in the Ituri region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
A local army commander said 12 militiamen and two soldiers were killed during an attack by the Ituri Patriotic Resistance Front (FRPI).
In July three rebel groups in Ituri agreed to a ceasefire ahead of the first round of presidential elections.
The second round is due to take place at the end of October.
United Nations officials had hoped the east would remain quiet ahead of the second round.
"The fighting was very serious and lasted seven hours," General Nsiona Mbuayama told Reuters news agency by phone from near Bunia. "The militia fled in the end, taking some dead, but they left at least 12 bodies."
Some of the worst fighting during DR Congo's conflict has taken place in the north-eastern Ituri region, where local ethnic conflicts have been fuelled by clashes over minerals.
The FRPI militia, led by a man known as Cobra Matata, is one of several groups that has not joined the peace process. President Joseph Kabila and ex-rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba are contesting the run-off polls on 29 October.
The UN is spending $1bn a year on its 17,000-strong peacekeeping mission in DR Congo - the largest in the world.

Yeah, a lot of people have died. What are you doing about it beside adding celebrity status to the issue. I mean everyone at CNN ridiculed Daryl Hannah when she stood up for the people over landowners in Southern California citing her millions vs. what she was doing with those millions. So, what do you say, Anderson? What are you doing about this mess.

You want to know why the rebellions? You want to know the people that are making differencess? Look at this.

Church see progress in reporting on Republic of Congo's oil revenues

http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0605494.htm

Dieudonne Serge Mounthou, program director of the justice and peace commission of the Diocese of Pointe-Noire, Congo, said that in 1999 his bishops asked: "How can one understand that during the last three decades the frequent discovery and start-up of oil wells, always important, has not been accompanied by any kind of visible sign of economic transformation or rectification of the social situation of our population? Our oil must be an instrument for the life and not the death of our people."

IMAGINE THAT. Catholic Bishops seeking justice for people with programs paid for by the revenues of their governments income from oil. Hm.

It's easy to state facts about a country. Population. Terrain. Impoverished dominant economy, but, it's really far more interesting to understand HOW it all got so stupid and people end up being rebels in their own country to stop corrupt governments from killing them.

All the African countries are dominated by impoverished agriculture and untouchable oil wealth of government. "Let them eat cake, I suppose."

Congo's economy consists mainly of village agriculture, an urban informal sector or "grey economy" (i.e. unregulated business, commercial, and service activities), and an industrial sector dominated by oil and oil-related services with few linkages to the rest of the economy. Since the 1980s, the oil industry has provided the major share of government revenues and exports, replacing timber production and exports as the principle growth sector. Oil accounts for about 67% of Congo's real gross domestic product (GDP)-about 78% of the government budget-and about 95% of Congo's export earnings.

In spite of its oil wealth, Congo has experienced budgetary shortfalls as a result of public sector expenditures, slumps in world oil prices (1998-1999), and armed conflicts (1997, 1998-1999, and 2002). Congo's business and administrative infrastructure was badly damaged during the recurrent fighting, increasing the petroleum sector's dominance of the economy (since oil production was not directly harmed by the fighting). Rebel attacks and subsequent shut-downs along the CFCO railway, which runs from the port of Pointe Noire to the capital Brazzaville and the interior, severely curtailed the movement of goods and people. Economic activity was further hampered by the fact that over 800,000 Congolese, nearly 30% of the population, fled their homes during the conflicts.

The Congo is the fifth largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa. Oil accounts for a large portion of Congo's GDP and the majority of the country’s exports. Current proven reserves are estimated to be 1,291 million tonnes of crude and large reserves of associated natural gas exist. Congo is one of the West African countries where Energy Africa is active.

The downstream oil industry is also an important element in the country's economy. The oil industry is predominantly run by foreign companies and is centred on the coastal city of Pointe Noire where the Congolaise de Raffinage (Coraf) operates the 21,000 bpd Pointe Noire refinery. The refinery has been out of commission for four years and has only recently started operating again.

The labour situation in the Congo is sensitive and investors should consider this. Obligations on employers are considered onerous and political restructuring is largely dictated by organised labour. Despite the potential barriers to investment in the Congolese oil industry, however, the sector is experiencing a period of growth.

CORRUPTION. The world is full of corruption laced in inextricably with Big Oil.

It's far too simple to 'pit' one ethnicity against another as a way to create a warfare that gives the populous a faux sense of 'purpose' in the war leaving the oil companies innocently on the sidelines while they rape the country of oil and wealth while 'the politics of the day' states 'what a shame it is the people of these oil countries just can't get their act together and rather be hate filled of each other.'

THE TRUTH is that villages of impoverished farmers end up being militias to stop the killing of innocents who protest the policies of their corrupt government elite who are the only members of the society that benefit for the paltry royalities by oil companies while even the oil companies pay government police and military to kill protesting villagers.

The sequela that results on a social scale is ethnic hatred, resulting in senseless killing, rapes and basically dehumanized populous who after generations have forgotten what started the hatred in the first place.

Dear Governor Bush and Attorney General Crist:

The New York Times today carried an article I found truly disturbing. Headlined "Old Enough to Make a Lanyard, and to Do It Nude," it is a story about a nudist camp for children - ages 11-18 - at the Lake Como Resort in Land O'Lakes, Florida.

Here is another Florida pedophile. It must be the hot weather and light clothing that attracts them.

On June 7, 2006, U.S. citizen Frank Parsolano, of Cape Coral, Florida, was returned to the United States from Guatemala to face justice on felony probation violation charges in Lee County, Florida. The fugitive’s return was coordinated among the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Frank Parsolano was released on his own recognizance on November 14, 2000 after violating parole on a 1998 sex offense charge and conviction. In February of 2001, he pled guilty to violation of parole and was placed on 4 years probation again. After failing to check in with court officials, he was listed as absconded on the sex offense database.

Diplomatic Security special agents at the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala received a tip in early June 2006 that Parsolano was in Guatemala boasting that he was wanted in America. Diplomatic Security confirmed the Lee County warrant and contacted the U.S. Marshals Service to see if they were willing to take over the warrant for Lee County.

The Guatemalan Police and Guatemalan Immigration were contacted for assistance. Four days later, Diplomatic Security and Guatemalan Police located Parsolano in a very remote part of the country. He was detained there by local police and transported back to Guatemala City until his departure to Miami International Airport on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 under Diplomatic Security escort. Parsolano was expelled by the Guatemalans for being an undesirable based upon crimes of moral turpitude and the U.S. warrant for his arrest.

U.S. Marshals Service personnel took custody of Parsolano at Miami International Airport and transferred him to the Lee County Jail. Parsolano is expected in Lee County Magistrate Court this week.

Killing in America, it's become a past time.

If any news agency is going to 'report' deaths in this country, they also need to report on what is being done to end it. That isn't being done. The NRA overrides all other perspectives to stop killing in the USA. The media ONLY reports the deaths without what the government is doing to stem the violence. In Texas, Bush would excute murderers as a means of prevention of killing. He had a record number of excutions during his governorship.

As with most instances these cases the 'socio-economic' focus is noted. It is those dynamics that is chronically viewed as 'the problem' and NOT the abundance of guns in the USA under this administration. Never once has the Bush White House even alluded to The Brady Bill. Mr. Brady was injured by a bullet when an assassination was attempted against Mr. Reagan. It took Bill Clinton's candidacy for President to bring forward The Brady Bill. It has been undermined by the Bush White House ever since. The current escalation in violence in the USA reflects Bush's ineffective policies.

Africa and why are the people there so negliected.

There are no effective polices. Bush has addressed issues such as HIV/AIDS and the Millenium Challenge Account/Corporation but these are very slow deployed programs. Last count there were about 16 countries that qualified for the MCC and of that not all were from Africa. There is also no support for UN Peacekeepers by the USA Military.

http://allafrica.com/stories/200610020169.html

During times of peace, the USA is a vast assistant to world order and peace. It is unfortunate under this administration that capacity has been reduced to a few programs rather than the primary means of support to the world order. That's what corruption does. It takes from those most in need and diverts hope to profits of a few. When the USA leaves the world out of it's priorities there are very bad effects. That is what the return to old world Republicanism does.

Bob Woodward finally got the information he needed to 'make the case' against the Bush White House. The Washington Post is still the paper, isn't it? It's interesting to watch the major papers of the country take turns exposing the corruption that lead to an illegal war and attempts by Bush to undermine democracy. They all took the 'heat' in different ways. They have all suffered in circulation sales. I think that has to do with the lack of wealth of the people that normally buy newspapers as well. The American People and the world for that matter need to realize the advocacy these newspapers take to preserve liberty and 'the truth.' My hat off to Mr. Woodward. He hasn't let us down yet.

Colin Powell's most significant moment turned out to be his lowest

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/27/AR2006092700106.html

"The president would like to make a change," Card said, using a time-honored formulation that avoided the words "resign" or "fire." He noted briskly that there had been some discussion of having Powell remain until after Iraqi elections scheduled for the end of January, but that the president had decided to take care of all Cabinet changes sooner rather than later. Bush wanted Powell's resignation letter dated two days hence, on Friday, November 12, Card said, although the White House expected him to stay at the State Department until his successor was confirmed by the Senate.

Card has been noted to state he was surprised it was he that resigned and not Rumsfeld.

Card resigns as White House chief of staff

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-03-28-card_x.htm

WASHINGTON (AP) — Struggling to revive his troubled presidency, President Bush replaced longtime chief of staff Andy Card with budget director Joshua Bolten on Tuesday and gave Bolten authority to make further changes in a White House staff that even Republicans have complained is tired, insular and lacking fresh ideas.
Card plans to stay on the job until April 14, when the switch with Bolten takes place.

Appearing with Bush in the Oval Office, Bolten gave no hint about what, if any, shake-up he might order. But White House officials said no one should doubt his ability to replace Bush aides. "He'll have all the authority he needs ... to make the decisions that he feels best, working with the president," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
