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

Total number of
9/11 hijackers

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...

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...

un acontecimiento esperanzador

By
amigos,  un acontecimiento esperanzador  este es un acontecimiento esperanzador! Hace dos años, Etiopía era un caso estancado. El gobierno parecía estar perdiendo el control. La mayoría de las personas Oromo estaban inquietas bajo una regla que parecía robarles su lugar. La tradicionalmente poderosa Amhara se amotinó. Un estado de emergencia trajo silencio en la superficie, pero debajo de la nación se arremolinaba. Una Guerra civil amenazaba. Un extranjero fue asesinado. El turismo disminuyó. Finalmente, el primer ministro renunció. La iglesia oró fervientemente. Luego, inesperadamente, hace ocho meses, el relativamente desconocido Abiy Ahmad fue elegido primer ministro. Lo que siguió fue igualmente imprevisto. En un audaz y valiente discurso de aceptación; Ahmad anunció una política de paz, amor y unidad para la nación y sus relaciones con el resto del mundo. Hizo grandes promesas y para sorpresa en un mundo cínico de promesas políticas, las cumplió. "Necesita...
