The Op-Ed the New York Times Wouldn’t Run

The NYT ran an op-ed by Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground leader and Obama's friend and partner in several ventures. Ayers attempts to whitewash his terrorist background. This article exposes the lies Ayers attempts to put across. It also reports a complete rebuttal to the Ayers op-ed which the NYT REFUSED to print (so much for fair and balanced eh?).

Warning about science - technology

In 1961, President Eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation. He warned us about the new links in the "military-industrial complex"..... a warning that liberals often cite to bolster their case for "peace not war". What has been little reported was his warning, in the same speech, is the forthcoming dominance in our universities of the government sponsored "scientific-technological complex"....... which warns of dominance of our public policy by "science" elites, and control of our Universities by those in Washington who dispense the research dollars. I believe the current Anthropogenic Global Warming mantra being sung by Washington is a prime example.

Eisenhower said:

"Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.

In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded.

Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite."

Obama Absolves Himself

Barack Obama's campaign has investigated itself, and has found itself to be beyond reproach. Bernie Madoff can only envy the press relations that allow Obama's self-exoneration to be reported straight.

Politicizing Science

Obama's director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, John Holdren, believes that amongst the ills that development must address are "excessive population growth," which is "a condition now prevailing almost everywhere." Next comes "maldistribution," as "between rich and investment poor" and "between military and civilian forms of consumption and investment." Further he says: "Underlying human frailties: Greed, selfishness, intolerance, and shortsightedness. Which collectively have been elevated by conservative political doctrine and practice (above all in the United States in 1980 92) to the status of a credo."

Origins of the financial crisis

A superb 22 min. video of Peter Wallison describing how we got into this financial crisis. Fundamentally ..... GOVERNMENT has caused it ..... specifically the CRA as modified by Clinton in 1993, and the creation of GSE's (Fannie and Freddie) . It describes how GOVERNMENT regulation through these channels, caused the current problem. For details on how these have caused our problems.... watch the video.
