We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~Ronald Reagan, 40th president of U.S. USA vs. US: http://www.gemworld.com/USAvsUS.htm "The Israeli Lobby owns the Congress, media, Hollywood, Wall Street, both political parties, and the White House. This kind of talk will get people fired by this lobby, as we have seen recently with White House correspondent Helen Thomas and CNN anchor Rick Sanchez. However, many Americans are growing tired of the arrogance of the Israel Lobby and their bigoted attitudes toward anyone who challenges their influence-peddling and their ridiculous insistence that Israel must be supported because of some ancient fairy tales involving some tribes who wandered the deserts of the Middle East and saw and heard non-existent things because of sun stroke, drinking bad water, and smoking local hallucinogenic plants." - Wayne Madsen An American Warns His Countrymen By Benjamin H. Freedman, 1961 8-17-10 "What are we going to do? The life you save may be your son's. Your boys may be on their way to that war tonight; and you don't know it any more than you knew that in 1916 in London the Zionists made a deal with the British War Cabinet to send your sons to war in Europe."

Happy New Year! >From all of us, KI-Media team CAMBODIA & AMERICA ARE TOTALLY DESTROYED BY THE COMMUNISTS & ZIONIST JEWS . THESE ARE WORDS . DUCH IS NOT KHMER , HE IS A COMMUNIST . 13 April 2011 By International Justice Tribune (ECCC) THE FACTS : TSA STILL GROPING CHILDREN... IS HE A DANGEROUS TERRORITST ? WHO SAY SO ? WHO ARE BEHIND THIS ? A Holocaust Remembrance Culture JEWISHNESS IS BEING SHOVED in our faces everywhere we turn. Because the Jews wish to position themselves as “victims,” they have exploited the Holocaust to make Americans feel protective of the poor Jewish victim of Anti-Semitism. But has anyone brought to mind that these so called “victims” happen to be the wealthiest sufferers the world has ever known? Until we are able to perceive that - America will continue to be a Holocaust Remembrance society. High School Curriculums throughout America are teeming with it. Holocaust Museums and Holocaust Study Centers are in every major U.S. city. The Jews have made sure that our collective memory will not be a Christian one that America once extolled. Our former common Christian bond has been usurped by a Jewish agenda known as “The Holocaust.” Are we not sick and tired of the millionaire Jew, Elie Weisel, with his continual harping on his sufferings of the Holocaust? If any one has made a killing on the “Holocaust Industry,” it is the millionaire Jew, Elie Weisel. CONCLUSION AMERICA WAS ONCE A NATION that bonded its citizens together through a common Christian memory, cause, and destiny. Christian decency has now been preempted by crass depravity through the Jewish-controlled Media and its legal arm, the Jewish-run and funded, American Civil Liberties Union. (ACLU). Our Christian heritage has been undermined by the Jewish elite who have lobbied successfully for a “multicultural” (translate, “all belief-systems that will crowd out Christianity, “society. America, once known as a Christian nation, is now is now termed, thanks to Jewish Academia, a “pluralistic” nation. But “pluralism” and “multiculturism” works to the Jews advantage: Divide And Conquer! What we have now in our nation, is not primarily a “pluralistic” society, but rather, a “Jewish” America. WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RECLAIM AMERICA out of the ruinous hands of the Jews. We can begin with makes a commitment to attend Church Services regularly and discussing with like-minded friends the issues that face us. Then we can all call upon Christ to heal our nation, to heal our souls, to heal our apathy, and to heal our debilitated state. We Can Then Take Back Our Nation From The Jews & Once Again Have A Christian America With Its Attendant Hope For The Future. ___________________________________ For More See: “Pasternak: ‘Jews Must Become Christians’” Click Here And: “Christians NOT Jews Are God’s Chosen People!” Click Here And: “How Jews Think” Click Here CLICK: Brother Nathanael!

Gaffar Peang-Meth As you read this column today, Buddhists are celebrating the start of a new year, Year 2555 of the Buddhist Era. I wish each the blessings of a Happy Buddhist New Year. As one who frequently writes about the importance of informed, critical thinking, I am pleased at the opportunity this reminder of Buddha offers to acknowledge Buddha's teaching that thought makes man, and with his thoughts man makes the world: "We are what we think." Great teaching An action is an outcome of thoughts and dreams, which are conveyed through words, written or spoken. The words we use are revealing of who and what we are, and even of the values we hold. A Khmer saying goes, "Samdei sar jiat," or "Words reveal a man's worth." A Khmer scholar asked recently in his writing if Khmer Buddhist beliefs are only "skin deep." He appealed for "soul searching." Officially 96.4 percent Buddhist and 90 percent ethnic Khmer, Cambodians, like their Southeast Asian Buddhist neighbors, begin a three-day celebration of the Khmer New Year of the Rabbit on April 13. You don't have to be Buddhist to appreciate the truth of the sacred teaching 2,500 years ago of Gautama Buddha, a critical thinker and activist: "Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care, for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill." Susan Smalley, a UCLA psychiatry professor, said: "Verbal insults, verbal abuse, and the power of words to affect your emotions and actions are well demonstrated in science. For example, scientists have found that just hearing sentences about elderly people led research subjects to walk more slowly. In other research, individuals read words of 'loving kindness' showed increases in self-compassion, improved mood, and reduced anxiety." Buddha's words, connected with what the great Chinese teacher Confucius preached, "Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?" provide a powerful and invaluable lesson. Smalley again: "I once read that a word is like a living organism, capable of growing, changing, spreading, and influencing the world in many ways, directly and indirectly through others. I never thought about a word being 'alive' but then I thought of words spoken 3,000 years ago, written down and passed through many generations, and they seem quite alive when read or spoken today, having lived 3,000 years. As I ponder the power of the word to incite and divide, to calm and connect, or to create and effect change, I am ever more cautious in what I say and how I listen to the words around me." Permanent scars It is said words are alive; if you cut them they bleed. Many world cultures tell us that a knife wound may heal, but a wound caused by words doesn't. It can last generations. Words can never be recalled. Written words are perpetual in public; spoken words haunt and hurt as long as man's memory. The Japanese say, "The mouth is the door of evil" but "One kind word can warm three winter months." Sometime ago, I wrote about the spiritual story, "A Bag of Nails." A father who wanted to teach a lesson to his very bad-tempered, young son, gave the boy a bag of nails and told him to hammer a nail into the wooden fence each time the son lost his temper. On the first day alone, the angry boy hammered 37 nails into the fence. But over the next few weeks, the numbers decreased as he learned to control his bad temper, until one day, he didn't have to drive a nail into the fence at all. He was happy. His father was happy. But now the father told the boy to go pull out one nail for each day the boy could hold his temper. It took many weeks before the boy pulled out the last nail. He learned that a bad temper could be controlled more easily than driving nails into the fence and pulling them out. "You have done very well, my son," the father spoke happily as he walked his son to the fence, "but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave permanent scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there." For this New Year, I find it worthwhile to repeat Stephen Ventura's basic training in "RESPECT": "R" recognizes a human being's inherent worth; "E" eliminates derogatory words and phrases; "S" speaks with, not at or about, people; "P" practices empathy through walking in others' shoes; "E" earns respect through respect-worthy behaviors; "C" considers others' feelings before speaking and behaving; and "T" treats every person with dignity and courtesy. Humanity highway In the words of civil rights icon, Martin Luther King, Jr., "There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." Some years ago, I heard a presentation by New Zealander John Sax in Manila. Sax's topic: "Highway of Humanity." All people are travelers and free to choose to get off on one of the two exits. On Sax's exit named "Great," travelers can stop at stations called love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, humility, honesty, truth, generosity, forgiveness and self-control. On exit "Miserable," there are stations called hate, misery, conflict, cruelty, meanness, unfaithfulness, brutality, pride, dishonesty, falsehood, misery, unforgiving and no self-control. Sax asked, "Which exit and which stations do you choose?" Happy Buddhist New Year! A. Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D., is retired from the University of Guam.
