Star Trek had the trusty phaser. But, today, we have the stun gun. Many ordinary citizens carry stun guns and tasers to protect against personal attacks. These devices are designed to temporarily and immediately incapacitate a person. Stun guns and tasers generate a high-voltage. Stun-gun effectiveness varies depending on the particular gun model, the attacker's body size and his determination. It also depends on how the device is kept on the attacker.

What is Kung Fu?
Kung Fu is an ancient word that generally in the Cantonese dialect, meant "unselfish time and effort in an activity" or "degree of perfection achieved in any field" or "deep knowledge of a subject."
In the 70's that expression Cantonese, used to call the Chinese martial arts became known worldwide through the martial arts films. However, the grammatically correct expression to describe the martial art and wushu, originating from Mandarin (please note that after 1945, Mao Tsé Tung designated as the official language of Mandarin Chinese).

War Crimes
Many have suggested to me that the only reason I’m so passionate over having the Bush Administration charged with war crimes is because I’m a liberal, and therefore, harbor some sort of deep-seated hatred for George Bush. But that’s not true. The fact is, I neither hate George Bush, nor conservatives. I’m a progressive, not an ideologue, so I have no ideological motive to see any adversity brought into his life. My passion stems from the fact that as a progressive, I have a progressive’s lust for justice.
As I’ve mentioned in a previous article, progressives have but one guiding philosophy, and that philosophy entails the primacy of humanity, justice for ALL, and the search for truth, wherever it may lead, and regardless to whose ox is gore. It’s just happens thar in this case, the ox that must be gored is our own.
It’s not lost on me that many people who claim to be progressives today are actually quite partisan - they’re ideologues, and they view politics from the perspective of a sports fan – our team against theirs. But I want to assure you that’s not the case here. I’m only looking at this situation from the perspective of what is just, and what is just in this case, is for Bush and his cohorts be held strictly accountable for their conduct.
Consider our response to 911, for example. Look at how crazy we went over the murder of three thousand of our citizens. We’ve been fixated on it for close to a decade now. But we’ve never once stopped to consider that if we feel that strongly over the murder of three thousand of our people, how the Iraqis must feel about our killing hundreds of thousands of theirs?
Now take a moment to consider how would we take it if some country came over here and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, then simply said, “You know, now that we think about it, that wasn’t right. But what the hell – what’s done is done. We can’t bring ‘em back, so we need to look forward, not backwards” If one of the people that they killed was your mother, father, sister, or brother, would you be willing to accept that? I don’t think so.
So the mere fact that the U.S. expects the world to simply allow us to casually walk away from that atrocity without any accountability speaks volumes about both our arrogance, and why people want to kill us.
Dick Cheney claims that terrorist want to kill us because they’re jealous of our freedom. That’s complete bullshit. They want to kill us because we won’t mind our own business, and we keep trying to steal their oil.
America has got to learn two things: First, if you keep slapping your neighbor and picking his flowers, eventually he’s going to hit you back. And secondly, if you break into your neighbor’s home and wipe out his family, then you get caught with a pocketful of his valuables, trying to plead self-defense won’t fly. Any court in the world will convict you of being a murderer and a thief.
We’ve never executed one criminal in the history of America whose crimes even approached the seriousness of the crimes committed by Bush and Cheney – and many, against our own troops. The crimes committed by Dick Cheney makes Tookie Williams look like a choirboy. Yet, now we want to simply walk away and expect the world to believe that America stands for justice? I don’t think so.
As long as we continue to think the rest of the world is beneath us, and the lives of others aren’t as valuable as our own, we’ll never be just, we’ll never be safe, and we’ll continue to move farther away from what it means to be Americans:
A MESSAGE TO BUSHLAND
It’s scary how easily the American people can be manipulated to the point that they find the death of entire families a hoot; how we can sit in front of the tv set with chilli dogs and fries and cheer on the death of others like we’re watching the Super Bowl.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A man who police said broke into a home with the intention of sexually assault a 17-year-old girl in her bedroom died early Sunday morning after a struggle with the girl's father.
David Meyers (pictured), 52, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after officers arrived following a report of a home invasion in the 3500 block of West 79th Street at about 3:20 a.m.
Officers said they found Robert McNally, 64, on the floor with his arm around the neck of Meyers, struggling to hold him down.
When officers told McNally he could let go, they found that Meyers was unresponsive. Medics who were called to the scene then pronounced Meyers dead.
Indianapolis police Sgt. Matt Mount said Meyers had come into the home naked, except for a mask and latex gloves.
"He had rope, had a knife, had condoms, had a gag," Mount said.
Police said Meyers had gotten into the home through a window next to the girl's bedroom and that he knew the home well because his uncle owns it and he was an acquaintance of the family.
The teen awoke to find a naked man in her room and began screaming, alerting McNally, police said.
During a protracted struggle in the hallway of the home, McNally was able to get his arm around Meyers' neck and subdue him while his wife called police, officers said.
Meyers was a registered sex offender and was released from prison two years ago after he had served 10 years of a 20-year sentence for criminal confinement and sexual deviate conduct stemming from a case in Hamilton County.
Meyers was also being sought in Boone County for failure to register as a sex offender.
Police said Meyers had been living with his mother down a gravel road from the home that the McNally family lived in and had recently lost his job.
"When they got the mask off, both the father and daughter recognized him," Mount said.
Police said Meyers had a history of heart problems. They were not immediately sure if he died as a result of heart failure or from being choked.
The results of the police investigation will be turned over to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office, but it is unlikely charges will be filed, police said. INDIANAPOLIS -- A man who police said broke into a home with the intention of sexually... more

Tortured, jailed without trial, and imprisoned on false charges... Sound too incredibly like a blockbuster movie plot??? heh It's real life, and it's happening.
Congressman George Hansen in the 80's was exposing corruption by the billions of dollars and had angered "mega banksters". You be the one to decide who was behind this dictatorial action typical of Europe in the Dark Ages. Between the "diesel therapy" by inhuman Federal Marshals and the mistreatment of merciless prison guards, 60 year old Congressman George Hansen suffered not only unbearable torture, but permanent injuries that would cripple most young men. This type of insufferablly outrageous violation of our Constitutional rights and law is being executed on a regular basis, and allegedly aimed at those who dare question the banking fraud or the [then] Clinton presidency.
Adapted with permission from George Hansen, Congressman, retired, himself.
