POPSIsraeli/French BANKS Money Laundering on Grand Scale "Embattled French bank Societe Generale faces fresh troubles Monday when a trial opens in Paris involving a vast money laundering scam between France and Israel. Four banks, including Societe Generale, and 138 people, including the bank's chairman Daniel Bouton, are on trial over the multi-million dollar scam that allegedly began in the late 1990s. The other banks include Societe Marseillaise de Credit, Barclays France and the National Bank of Pakistan. Societe Generale revealed late last month it had lost a staggering 4.8 billion euros (7.1 billion dollars) in the biggest rogue trading scandal in history. Takeover talk is now swirling around France's third largest bank, with two French banks eyeing a possible bid on Societe Generale. " ...AFP

POPSGore's real green concern In short. Gore is "buying" carbon offsets from himself. His carbon offset money goes into his own company to buy or invest in companies that will profit from him flying around the globe preaching his global warming alarmist gospel.

POPSRomney's Feelings Hurt The taboo against having one's faith criticized should be examined and discarded. Honest and rational questioning of religious thought and policies should not be treated any differently than are other ideas that people hold. We question political views constantly. We question ideas about child care constantly. We question ideas concerning medical treatments constantly. Why not religion? Because it can't stand the heat. Members would drop out. People would open their eyes and see religion for the scam it is. There are other ways to view the world besides through the illusion of a belief in a mythical creator. So, IMHO, Romney is not entitled to any apology. Nor is any other religious person whose religious tenets are questioned.

POPSChildren "bad for planet" Another affront to common sense in the form of a population crisis. Another scam. Why are people so gullible? Chalk this up as another materialist front in the war on Humans.

POPSVirtual Worlds - Real-World Problems As with any novel technology, virtual worlds bring new opportunities and new problems. The embrace of virtual worlds by companies for mundane uses on the one hand, and by scam artists to get up to no good on the other, points not to the shortcomings of such environments—but to their increasing maturity and potential. “I don't think this is the end to fun and games,” says Mr Kane. “I think it's only the beginning.”

POPS18 Unconvincing Arguments for God A student asked what would convince me that God exists? I named a few miracles that would at least convince me that something supernatural exists. But the question stuck in my mind and I naturally began to think of what wouldn’t convince me. Thus, if the goal of these students was to evangelize an atheist, it seemed perfectly appropriate that I give them a list of what wouldn’t work, so they could creatively come up with some new arguments, as their class title suggests. I meant this to be educational and in no way condescending, and that is how I hope the students perceive my presentation.

POPSDiary of a deliberately spammed housewife By the time it was all over, after every bank-account phishing scam, Nigerian bank scheme, and offer for medication, adult content and just plain free stuff had been pursued. "I was horrified," says Mooney, a realtor by profession. "It's all snake oil. I'm amazed at what true junk is out there when you're clicking through on e-mail."

POPSGays Say Farewell to Tammy Faye Tammy Faye became a gay icon because of her sense of fairness towards homosexuals and because of her strength and courage under personal, professional and ultimately, medical duress. Gay men love strong and courageous women. The ultimate gay icon, as many of us know, was Judy Garland. Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday, Carol Channing are a few of the other woman who commanded the respect and adoration of the gay community. Tammy Faye exemplified courage and a sense of strong purpose in her life. And although she did become involved in a phony religious scam with her former husband, Jim, she decided to pick herself up, admit her faults and guilt, and build a new life for herself. At this she succeeded admirably.

POPSMan caused "global warming" debunked Al Gore, the Jim Jones of this new religious cult, preaches doom and gloom from his pettifogger pulpit, all the while living the lifestyle of an energy hog. He actually uses twice the amount of electricity in one month at his Nashville home than the average household uses in an entire year. He has two homes in Tennessee, one in Virginia, at least. He flies all over the world on his Magical Hysteria Tour, sucking down resources and belching out tons of carbon, all to tell us we need to conserve. We're trying to make ends meet just to afford gas in our cars while Al Gore has a carbon footprint the size of Sasquatch. And no one seems to care.

POPSClimate Democracy
The point is fundamental. Whether warming or cooling is beneficial depends largely on where you live. Federal control of climate is therefore inappropriate. International control, even worse. Climate democracy requires local control. If the political discussion remains national during this election season, the candidates should – at the very least – choose vice presidential running mates who favor warming: at least acknowledging that the north matters. Local climate control: how can it be done? - the facts are these. To say that climate engineering is in a pre-early stage of development is a vast understatement. There is no such thing. Governments can no more control climate globally than they can locally. We have a long, long way to go technologically before any such thing as climate democracy can become reality. Wake up and smell the crap – it’s a scam! They want to raise taxes and increase government control over earthly endeavors and you won’t get anything for it in return.

POPS25%+ of all Pentagon money is unaccounted for Why Bush & Co. love war. Little known fact: George Herbert Walker, grandfather of George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr, besides being a major financier to the Nazis along with his son-in-law Prescott Bush, was also appointed supervisor of military contracts by Woodrow Wilson. Interestingly enough, it's much easier to find out details of the family's dealings with the Nazis than it is to uncover the simple, biographical fact that the Bush dynasty has been hardwired into the finances of the Pentagon since Day One. Ripping off the nation via the Pentagon is a four generation old business for this crew. No wonder they're so good at it. 9/11 helped then both cover their tracks and take things to a new level. Wow, that's a pretty good scam for some people...I wonder where all that tax money goes? It's bad enough how they rip us off legally, let alone down the rabbit hole to...?
