No Paved Road To Freedom Selected as Book of the Month
Posted: March 16, 2012 at 2:51 am
KIMBERLING CITY, Mo., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) selected Sharon Rushton's book No Paved Road To Freedom as its Book of the Month.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120315/CG70334)
MWSA reviewer WeymouthSymmes said, "No Paved Road To Freedomby Sharon Rushton is a gripping page-turner about one man's quest for freedom against overwhelming odds. It is an inspirational story about a remarkable man who gave up everything (family, career, fiancee) to escape the horrors of communism. Sharon's book is also a cautionary tale of what governments can do in the guise of 'helping' their people. Sharon's story brings the horrors of the purges down to the individual and family level. It is a remarkable and powerful book.
"No Paved Road To Freedomis listed as a fictionalized historical biography. It is the story of Cornel Dolana, a real person who escaped Communist Romania. Sharon has done her homework; the book is based on many hours of interviews with her subject, and is backed by solid historical research.
"Sharon Rushton's book should be widely read. It is a reminder of how easy our life is, but how fragile and precious our freedoms are. Either the soft tyranny of the welfare state or the hard tyranny of communism erode freedom and take away initiative. This would be a particularly instructive book for high school students; it would be a revelation for them," Symmes concluded.
Others agree. Amazon and Barnes and Noble readers have given No Paved Road To Freedom a 5-star rating.
Dr. Andrew Cline, a professor at Missouri State University said, "Cornel Dolana's story reminds us that freedom is precious. His example makes it difficult for contemporary readers to take the fruits of our liberty for granted."
Dr. Lavina Stan, director of the Center for Post-Communist Studies at St. Francis Xavier University in Canada said, "A gripping and emotional tale of human frailty, perseverance and endurance under totalitarian repression, Rushton's book captures like no other the essence of Romanian Stalinism and the remarkable courage of a peasant family. The story of young Cornel Dolana and his relentless quest for freedom is an inspiration for us all."
Jan Simpson with Yale University had this to say, "This gripping account of a young man's escape from Communist Romania has so many switch-backs, you'll have to hold on tight.The young Cornel determines to get to a free country or die trying. Despite careful, cunning planning, the wrenching events of the long run to a new life make clear that the gulf between freedom and death is more terrifying than anyone so young could have imagined."

Syria 'Freedom Convoy' blocked at Turkish border
Posted: at 2:51 am
Hundreds of activists in a "Freedom Convoy" who tried to enter Syria from Turkey were stopped near the border on Thursday, as the uprising against the Damascus regime entered its second year.
Turkish police stopped hundreds of mostly Syrian activists as they approached a border crossing outside the city of Kilis, but they escorted a small delegation of organisers in two cars to the post.
But at the crossing, the organisers were prohibited from entering Syria, one of them told AFP.
"The only answer we got was 'No way, never!'," said Moayad Skaif.
The activists -- in a convoy of three buses and 30 cars decorated with flags and loudspeakers -- said they were trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Syrians suffering after a year of bloodshed.
"Our goal is to put pressure in our way on the Syrian government to stop its massacres and its embargo on its own people," Skaif said.
He said the aid, including tents, sleeping bags, toiletries, food and beverages, would now be offered to Syrian refugees in Turkey.
A previous attempt by the Freedom Convoy to enter Syria from Turkey, which is home to a growing number of Syrians fleeing the unrest, was also blocked in January.
More than 9,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed since the outbreak of the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad's regime one year ago, human rights monitors said on Thursday.
Following the Syrian army assault in the Baba Amr neighbourhood of Homs and in the rebel stronghold Idlib, the number of Syrians arriving at the border has escalated sharply.

Liberty High School's robotics team finishes 26th in FIRST Robotics Rebound Rumble
Posted: at 2:50 am
PORTLAND -- While a hoard of teenagers were busy cheering on their favorite high school teams last weekend at the 6A state boys basketball tournament at the Rose Garden, another kind of basketball tournament was going on right next door. The Rebound Rumble.
The Memorial Coliseum was swarming with basketball-playing robots -- and plenty of budding engineers -- during the two-day Oregon FIRST Robotics regional competition.
Liberty High School's robotics team was there to compete with 65 other teams from around the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Hawaii, California and Mexico.
Liberty finished 26th at the event, not enough to qualify to go on to compete at the championships, slated for April in St. Louis.
But Liberty team spokesman Aakash Jani said his team members were pleased with the way their robot performed. "Overall we feel that our robot did pretty well considering the issues that we faced," he said.
Each team brought its own 120-pound robot, designed, engineered and built by students in just six weeks. To score points, the robots needed to navigate the competition arena, shoot basketballs, climb ramps and balance on a "seesaw" platform.
But the biggest challenge for Liberty's team, Jani said, was the robot's mechanical arm.
"We had to redesign our arm mechanism almost five times at the competition to fit constraints, which was an initial oversight on our part."
That task kept the team busy between matches. "They haven't had a lot of down time," said advisor and Liberty High School teacher Milt Scholl.
In between nine qualifying rounds during the two-day tournament, team members hung out in "the pit."

Liberty Guard Files Lawsuit Against TSA
Posted: at 2:50 am
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Liberty Guard, a national, non-profit, non-partisan organization with more than 4,000 members dedicated to protecting and defending individual liberty, has filed suit in the Superior Court for the Eastern District of Virginia against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This suit is part of Liberty Guard's defense of the civil liberties of American citizens against the intrusive searches that routinely confront air travelers by the TSA at airport security checkpoints.
Former Congressman Bob Barr (R-GA), who serves as Chairman of Liberty Guard, commended President Joe Seehusen and Attorney Christopher L. Markham for filing the lawsuit. "This lawsuit will help empower all those who travel by commercial air carrier, to be protected against arbitrary and privacy-invasive techniques employed by the federal government that are of questionable constitutional validity," said Barr.
The suit explains that the TSA and DHS have refused to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests from Liberty Guard dealing with the November 2010 "opt-out" movement. Liberty Guard is seeking that the court force the government to comply with request.
Liberty Guard is non-partisan, not-for-profit organization that engages in public education campaigns, court action, and legislative activity. Liberty Guard makes full use of the media, courts, legislative influence and, most importantly, the energy of its supporters to advance liberty.

Benjamin Fulford And The Future Of Humanity
Posted: at 2:50 am
Taken from : http://www.mihaistoian.net/benjamin-fulford-out-of-the-box-negotiations-are-proceeding-at-the-highest-level/
This article was published by Benjamin Fulford on his personal website. Fulford became world-renowned after he made earth-shattering disclosures about the global occult and the fierce battle happening behind closed doors between the two groups; on one side we have Masonry and the Illuminati and on the other side we have those who are trying to end this masked tyranny. What looked like overly optimistic stories at the beginning, now start to prove to be information coming directly from the fire of events. I had the occasion to personally check the existence of this occult domination system and to observe its ramifications in the multiple levels of our modern society, and I can confirm that everything Benjamin Fulford has stated corresponds to what I have found out directly from within the circles of the global occult. What is amazing at this very moment is the fact that the beneficial forces are starting to show their irresistible presence through the aspirations they are awakening in more and more people who are now starting to make up their minds and act in order to form alliances which will soon put an end to this global Masonic domination which is imposed by this circle of the so-called Illuminati.
Yet it is obvious that these new facts are now only potentialities which will become reality only if more and more individuals start to follow their inner voice and rise together on the same side which will help those people in high ranks to eliminate these rotten apples from the community basket. I dont believe though in the opportunity of a mass expurgation like the cultural revolution during the Maoist period of China (as some overly enthusiastic persons tend to propose), because this would represent a moral mistake which would be a brick in the foundation of the new society of humankind. On the other hand, I am convinced that a transformation, even a radical one, may appear now as a result of the awakening of consciousness that appears in many people, by giving these people a system of universally spiritual values, a system doubled by a set of efficient practices which will allow each one of them to fulfill those values. In this way, all the formal systems which replaced until now almost every authentic spiritual path with a formal religion, which served as opium for the masses, will be eliminated. Spiritual Revolution And Twelve Break-Thrus Of The Next Decade
Through this, an authentic spiritual revolution could take place which could not be stolen by the revolution-stealing professionals (the professionals are in fact the occult organizations, most of which have Masonic origins).
This revolution will naturally sweep away, but not in an arbitrary, dangerous way, those who are now in command and who, as we all can see, have failed so badly in their job. Instead of trying to throw these people out of the game, we can simply leave them out by taking a step forward together. (A reference to off-side tactics in football). Obviously, these transformations shouldnt be exclusively regarded as being part of a plan which is happening only on the physical level as this would be a simplification which would create more confusion. The transformations that are now appearing in the whole world have not come from the centre (as we were used to seeing in the world governed by the occult circles), but appear spontaneously in many individuals who are starting to awaken to another dimension within themselves, a dimension which is just waiting to be discovered.
However, in order for this awakening to be catalyzed and developed completely we need to implement a viable and efficient spiritual system right now. Closely reading the 12 force ideas proposed by Benjamin Fulford at the end of his article, you can see that their completion would imply not only a collective powerful will but also individuals who are greatly awakened to the profound realities of existence because otherwise these ideas would be rejected from the beginning exactly by those to whom they are addressed, if approached in the same old way as before.
Last but not least, I would like to acknowledge the fact that what Mr. Gregorian Bivolaru, our schools mentor, anticipated some time ago is now starting to become everyday reality, and that which he used to call the Good News is now becoming more and more the daily reality.
This should also make certain people think, especially those who have tried until now to attack Mr. Gregorian Bivolaru, in ways which often lacked human dignity, because he also announced other major transformations that will appear in the future and which will not give any preference to these stooges who serve the global occult. Maybe now they will understand (some of them) that they serve a poisonous chimera and in this way they will back down before its too late for them. Having a viable and complete spiritual system like the one offered by our yoga school and benefiting from the global awakening now felt throughout the world, we will be able to participate, through our own spiritual awakening, to the great planetary spiritual revolution that has already begun.
The reason that many of the top Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate crooks have not been arrested yet is that the old system needs to be kept going with string and wire and duct-tape until final preparations for a radically new system are completed. For example, an Asian proposal now is being negotiated calls for 10 million yen or about US$125,000 to be budgeted for each and every individual human being on earth. The Pentagon is also making similar radical proposals for a complete change of how humans interact with each other and with nature. The big conclusion being reached at the highest level is that the old financial system in the West was an illusion used by a secret maleficent cabal (the worldwide Masonry) to keep us enslaved. We are now about to become truly free in ways that will exceed most peoples most optimistic expectations. However, there will be some hard work at first before this becomes true.
The proposal being forwarded by the White Dragon Society to Asian clan elders is for the creation of a new, meritocratic ally staffed organization to be set up near Tenri City, South of Osaka. The name now being proposed for this organization is Long-term Investments For Everyone, or LIFE, for short.

Daily Writing Sample: Right to Keep and Bear Arms is Not ‘Property-Like’
Posted: at 2:48 am
By Joe Palazzolo
Todays DWS comes to us from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit via How Appealing and the Associated Press.
Errol Houston Jr. sued the City of New Orleans after the districts attorneys office refused to return a registered gun that police had seized when he was arrested on drug and firearm charges in 2008. The charges were later dropped.
Houston sued the city in July 2009, seeking the return of his gun and accusing law enforcement authorities of violating his due process and Second Amendment rights. A federal district judge dismissed the lawsuit the following year.
A divided Fifth Circuit agreed with the lower court. In the majority opinion,JudgeRhesa Hawkins Barksdale wrote (citations omitted):
Just as some regulation of speeche.g., of obscenity and defamationis outside the reach of the First Amendment, so, too, is some regulation of firearms outside the reach of the Second. The right protectedby the Second Amendment is not a property-like right to a specific firearm, but rather a right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.
Houston has not alleged defendants prevented his retaining or acquiringother firearms.Therefore, he has not stated aviolation of his Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod, in her dissent, said the majority opinion contravenes the Supreme Courts 2008 ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller, which recognized an individual right to keep and bear arms, and its 2010 ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, which held that the right applies to state and local restrictions on firearms.
According to Elrod,
In the context of other enumerated constitutional rights, an equivalent per se exception for particular exercises of the right at stake (so long as other exercises of that right are permitted) would be intolerable. Consider,for example, a court holding that the Free Speech Clause affords no protection against the government preventing the publication of a particular editorial in the New York Times because there are plenty of other newspapers that mightpublish the piece. Or consider a court holding that the Fourth Amendment is inapplicable to the unreasonable seizure of a specific automobile so long as the government does not prevent the owner from borrowing, renting, or purchasinga replacement vehicle. These examples should suffice to show the absurdity ofcourts recognizing categorical exceptions for each particular exercise of thoserights.In carving out such an exception from the Second Amendment, todays majority impermissibly treats the Amendment as a second-class right.

URGENT! OBAMA Signs Anti-Protest Bill – FREE SPEECH
Posted: at 2:48 am
15-03-2012 03:44 URGENT! OBAMA Signs Anti-Protest Bill - FREE SPEECH & Protest will get you JAIL TIME! The First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits the government from infringing upon the freedom of speech, the freedom of association and the freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Speech is language and other forms of expression; and association and petition connote physical presence in reasonable proximity to those of like mind and to government officials, so as to make your opinions known to them. The Declaration of Independence recognizes all three freedoms as stemming from our humanity. So, what happens if you can speak freely, but the government officials at whom your speech is aimed refuse to hear you? And what happens if your right to associate and to petition the government is confined to areas where those of like mind and the government are not present? This is coming to a street corner near you. Certain rights, like thought and privacy and travel, can be exercised on their own. You don't need the government to cooperate with you; you just need to be left alone. Other rights, like those intended to influence the political process, require that the government not resist your exercise of them. Remember the old one-liner from Philosophy 101: If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make any noise? Here's the contemporary version of that: If you can criticize the government, but it refuses to hear you, does your exercise of the freedom of ...
