George Bush--A New World Order
When this president's father was in the Oval Office, he was fond of singing the praises of the "New World Order" that was to arrive. The phrase carried a lot of baggage, especially with conservatives who had long heard the term associated with a one-world government with little room for individual rights.
President Bush Questions Saudi Ability to Raise Oil Supply, According to TheOilDrum.com
In an ABC Nightline interview, President Bush recently said of Saudi Arabia, "If they don't have a lot of additional oil to put on the market, it is hard to ask somebody to do something they may not be able to do." According to TheOilDrum.com, this statement seems to indicate that George W. Bush, like many others, is skeptical of Saudi oil production claims. Forecasts of future world oil production by official organization like the IEA and the EIA assume OPEC can increase production by any desired amount; if OPEC's capability is limited, official production forecasts are optimistic because they are based on false assumptions.

Dietary Weapons of Mass Distraction (WMD)

Cocaine For President Bush OK
This post will review the case of Guiles v. Marineau, 461 F.3d 320 (2nd Cir 2006) cert denied June 29, 2007, another student freedom of speech case. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that a school could not censor a student's t-shirt where the shirt, at the top, has large print that reads "George W.

President Bush Signs Economic Stimulus Law But American Manufactures and Retailers Like USAB2C.com Doubt its Effectiveness Without Targeted Conditions
www.USAB2C.com, a Las Vegas online retailer focused exclusively on American made products, believes that its manufacturing suppliers, which produce made in USA goods, will not significantly benefit from the law because it did not go far enough. This law does not require the recipient of the rebate to actually use the windfall to purchase American manufactured goods and services.
Many business people hope that the American public will take these concerns seriously and react by looking at point of origin labels on packaging and products they intend to buy and use the rebate check for the purchase of only those goods that are made in the USA.
George Bush and the Iraq War - Down on Downing Street

NM Legislators Ask President Bush, FDA's Von Eschenbach, and US Health Secretary Leavitt to Rescind FDA Approval for Artificial Sweetener Asparta

(PRWEB) October 24, 2006 -- In an October 18, 2006 letter, 11 members of the New Mexico Legislature have requested President Bush, President George Walker Bush, Andrew Von Eschenbach, M.D.,FDA Commissioner nominee, and Michael Okerlund Leavitt United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, to rescind the approval for Aspartame, the artificial sweetener, due to its metabolites as methanol and formaldehyde stating that "when Aspartame is heated, it becomes a proven brain tumor-causing agent, diketopiperazine. Aspartame is now found in 6000 USA food products and more than 500 medications, including "Diet" sodas, "Low Fat" Yogurt, Sugarless Chewing Gum, and other USA products."
The letter from the Legislators cites in full the letter from 46 members of the United Kingdom Parliament, dated January 30, 2006 by Roger Williams, the Member of Parliament from Radnorshire, Wales, stating:
That this House expresses deep concern over the numerous independent toxicological studies and thousands of subjective reports attesting to the toxic effects of the artificial sweetener aspartame on human health; notes that aspartame, once patented as a biochemical warfare agent, is the synthetically produced methyl ester of a dipeptide which is readily broken down in the gut to release methanol; further notes that in naturally occurring foodstuff methanol is either not released into the body or present together with natural defence mechanisms that mitigate its toxic effects; recognises that methanol is a well known poison and is further converted into formaldehyde, a class A carcinogen according to the World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer; accepts that severe health concerns occur from the gradual accumulation of formaldehyde in the body which cannot be excreted and that further research has shown that long term low level exposure to formaldehyde induces leukaemia and nasopharyngeal cancer in humans; acknowledges that of the 166 studies conducted on aspartame's safety deemed relevant to humans, 92 per cent. of independently sponsored studies identified one or more problems with aspartame's safety whereas industry-sponsored studies found unanimously in favour of aspartame's safety; and urges the Government to abide by the precautionary principle and make use of Statutes 13 and 16 of the 1990 Food Safety Act to remove aspartame from the permitted list of additives on the UK market.
The New Mexico Legislators informed Mr. Bush, Dr. Von Eschenbach, and Mr. Leavitt that they have the obligation "to prevent further neurological damage to the 70% of Americans and 40% of our American children who consume Aspartame...and to protect the health of many other nations...," which is "preferable that Bush, Von Eschenbach, and Leavitt do this, rather than the United States Senate having to later make rescinding FDA approval for Aspartame and other deleterious and poisonous substances a condition upon which Dr. Von Eschenbach's nomination approval is contingent."
The Legislators noted that the President's concerns should not be with corporate objections and continued allegations that their products are "safe."
Their letter concluded by stating that: "It is unacceptable that a chemical considered in 1979 by the Pentagon for a biochemical warfare agent two years later be approved for adding to 6000 USA food products and more than 500 medications, including children's vitamins and aspirin."
The letter was also signed by:
Senator John Pinto, Chairman, Indian and Cultural Affairs
Senator Carlos Cisneros, Chairman Conservation Committee
Senator Leonard Tsosie, Member, Finance Committee
Representative Rick Miera, Chair, House Education Committee
Representative Ray Begaye, Vice Chair, Agriculture and Water Resources
Representative Bobby Gonzales, Vice Chair, House Taxation and Revenue Committee
Representative Sheryl Williams Stapleton, House Majority Whip
Representative Harriet Ruiz Chair, Enrolling and Engrossing
Representative Richard Vigil, Vice Chair, House Education Committee
Representative W.C. Williams, Member, House Education Committee
If anyone has any questions call, Stephen Fox at 505-983-2002.
