of Interest:
The Issue of Dual Citizenship in the US
There is an issue, rarely discussed in the news, which has
critical implications for our national security and political
sovereignty. The United States is one of the most permissive
countries in the world with regard to dual citizenship. Our
government recognizes dual citizenship and tolerates multiple
citizenships. How did it come to this? According
to the U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8, it is the job of
the legislative branch to establish a uniform Rule of
Naturalization. Most people are familiar with, in one form or
another, the oath of citizenship which must be taken by all
immigrants who wish to become United States citizens. Following
a pattern set in 1795, our naturalization law, spells out the
oath to which a new citizen must swear.

Ceasefires in Islam:
Not Always What They Seem to Be
It seems as though every
other day we hear there is another “ceasefire” in the Middle East. This is
chiefly because there is so much violent Islamofascist aggression throughout
the Middle East but it is also because of something more. Just as there is
no exact translation between the Arabic and English languages, we in the
West would be wise to realize that this “inexactness” exists as a constant
in the relationship between the cultures of Islam and Western Civilization.
This convolution of conceptual understanding is aptly illustrated where the
subject of military ceasefires is concerned.

The Origin of John Locke's
Natural Rights
Philosophy
The Declaration of Independence embodied the ’sentiments of the day, whether
expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or the elementary
books of public right… Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney. Basically, there is
a ‘natural order’ of things in the world, cleverly and expertly designed by
God for the guidance of mankind; the ‘laws’ of this natural order may be
discovered by human reason; these laws so discovered furnish a reliable and
immutable standard for testing the ideas, the conduct, and the institutions
of men.
How did this become the prevailing idea “back in the day”?
A good number of Americans were educated at British universities, where the
doctrines of Newton and Locke were commonplaces; while those who were
educated at Princeton, Yale, or Harvard could read, if they would, these
authors in the original, or become familiar with their ideas through books
of exposition.
Many were initiated, in youth, in the doctrines of civil liberty, as they
were taught by such men as Plato, Demosthenes, Cicero and other renowned
persons among the ancients; and such as Sidney and Milton, Locke and Hoadley,
among the moderns, It would not have been uncommon to read, as a teenager,
Algernon Sidney’s Works, John Locke’s Works, Lord Bacon’s Works, Gordon’s
Tacitus, and Cato’s Letters.

Terrorism:
Emerging Threats - Testimony Before
House Committee on Homeland Security
Jeffrey W. Runge, MD
"We have determined that al-Qaeda seeks to develop and use a biological
weapon to cause mass casualties in an attack on the homeland. Our analysis
indicates that anthrax is a likely choice; and a successful single-city
attack on an unprepared population could kill hundreds of thousands of
citizens. A coordinated attack on multiple targets would come much closer in
magnitude to our enemy's goal."
