War with Iraq? According to top army and intelligence off cials, attacking
Iraq is a bad idea. It won’t make us safer. It’s a distraction from the war on terrorism. It’ll
alienate our closest allies. According to United Nations estimates, a war with Iraq will kill up
to 500,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, and cost U.S. taxpayers as much as $1,600,000,000,000
Tough weapons inspections can disarm Saddam Hussein without costing a single life. That’s
why over 90 U.S. city councils are saying:

Inspections Work.
War Won’t.

“Successful disarmament of Iraq
is possible without Baghdad’s
active cooperation...”
Hans Blix Chief UN Weapons Inspector
Feb. 7, 2003 Reuters

“All the generals see it the same way, and all the others who
have never fired a shot, and are hot to go to war, see it
another... We are about to do something that will ignite a
fuse in this region that we will rue the day we ever started.”
Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni Former Head of Central Command for
U.S. Forces in the Middle East

“...we did ascertain a 90-95% level of verified disarmament.
This figure takes into account the destruction or dismantling
of every major factory associated with prohibited weapons
manufacture, all significant items of production equipment,
and the majority of the weapons and agent produced by Iraq.”
Scott Ritter Former U.S. Marine and UN Weapons Inspector

“Hopefully at least a few of our serving top uniformed leaders –
those who are now covertly leaking that war with Iraq will be
an unparalleled disaster – will... stand tall and publicly tell the
America people the truth...”
Col. David Hackworth (ret) America’s most highly decorated soldier

“[A] classified assessment by a British intelligence agency
[asserted] that there were no current links between Iraqi
President Saddam Hussein’s government and al Qaeda.”
Glenn Frankel -- Washington Post Foreign Service, Feb. 8, 2003

“We’ve been looking at this hard for more than a year
and you know what, we just don’t think it’s there...”
Government official remarking that FBI investigators were baffled
by the Bush administration’s insistence on a solid link between Iraq
and Osama bin Laden’s network. -- The New York Times, Feb. 2, 2003

informe de salud

By
  Queridos amigos, Les escribo para informarles que hace unas semanas me diagnosticaron Parkinson vascular. Tenía problemas para mantener el equilibrio y caminar. Vi a un neurólogo y me hicieron una resonancia magnética de mi cerebro, y a partir de eso y de mi historial, me diagnosticaron Parkinson vascular. Me siento muy bien con mi doctora. Mi Parkinson Vascular es causado por mini accidentes cerebrovasculares que bloquean la sangre en la parte del cerebro que controla la marcha. El Parkinson vascular afecta principalmente a la parte inferior del cuerpo, y por lo tanto, afecta la marcha y el equilibrio y regularmente no suele provocar temblores. Es diferente del Parkinson clásico que es causado por la falta de dopamina. El tratamiento principal para el Parkinson vascular es tratar de detener los accidentes cerebrovasculares manteniendo bajo control factores como la presión arterial y el colesterol; esto puede evitar que la enfermedad progrese. Por lo tanto, no necesariamente empe...

An Incredible Prime Minister

By
           An Incredible Prime Minister     Dear Friends, a hopeful happening,                  Two years ago, Ethiopia was a basket case. The government seemed to be losing control The majority Oromo people were restive under a rule that seemed to rob them of their place. The traditionally powerful Amhara rioted. A state of emergency brought silence on the surface, but underneath the nation seethed. Civil war threatened. A foreigner was killed. Tourism waned. Finally, the prime minister resigned. The church prayed earnestly. Then, unexpectedly, eight months ago, the relatively unknown Abiy Ahmad was elected prime minister. What followed was equally unanticipated. In a bold, courageous acceptance speech; Ahmad announced a policy of peace, love and unity for the nation and its relationships with the rest of the world. He made sweeping promises and, to...

Fear and the Corona Virus

By
Dear Friends,                                        Fear and the Corona Virus In some self-reflection I have come to see that I have been unconsciously enveloped in a fear over the coronavirus pandemic. I feel paralyzed and hopeless. I noticed I feel I just have to turn the radio on to keep up on what is happening. Each time I hear more figures on how it is getting worse everywhere in the world, it fills my mind, the focus of much of what I think about. When I came to see this was happening, I noticed I wanted to just turn on the radio, and it was and is hard to turn it off. Just about everything on the radio was related to the virus. In reflecting I realized this subconscious fear permeated me. This fear was not healthy. It was creating anxiousness and anxiety, and anything but peace and contentment. This fear was what I needed to get rid of. From a Dr. Bruce Lipton...
