Israel’s much practiced war on Iran; the impact on oil, food, jobs, and our humanity
Charles E Carlson Jun 23, 2008
We consumers should be able to see through the fog of words when crude oil is at $136.00 per barrel and the state of Israel is, with obvious US support, practicing for a military attack on Iran, the next biggest oil producer on Israel’s list of enemies. This is to be the next phase of the world war on Islam that began with oil rich Iraq in 1991.

| The Farm Bill: An Outrage to Taxpayers, an Obscenity on Humanity
Charles E. Carlson Jun 18, 2008
It is still possible to stop this law, but it will take a miracle. Your Senators and House Members need to know you have a long memory when it comes to the cost of your food. That you will never forgive or forget if he or she votes for this legislation with food prices already running away for all to see. That’s why we call it The Money and Food Incineration Act of 2008.

| Yes, You Can Stop The Money and Food Incineration Act of 2008
Charles E. Carlson Jun 01, 2008
Last night, June 5, the Senate approved the "Farm Bill" 77-15. The new vote was called after the legislation Congress
passed in May was mistakenly sent to the White House without a section, or
title, on trade policy.
``I apologize that we have to be here again,'' Senate Agriculture Chairman Tom
Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, said on the Senate floor. ``It's a broadly
supported bill. It's good for our states, it's good for our farmers and
ranchers.'' (Update June 6)

Charles E Carlson Apr 20, 2008
Americans are preoccupied with Iraq, and most (with the big exception of Christian Zionists) admit that the USA is the aggressor. Christian Zionists also deny Israel's guilt for religious reasons. But it is time everyone else admits that war in the land of the Philistines continues because Israel’s present leaders do not believe they can live in peace with Muslim Arabs. They pretend to seek peace, but keep the conflict going.
