Obama canceled Moon Flights approved by George Bush B4 Bank Crashes - Billions of dollar-hand-out saved Banks n American Economy

Obama may have to postpone expensive ''Moon Landings''  as a measure of current economic situation that has millions of americans unemployed.

We think the astronauts who spoke of "catastrophic consequences"  and  "disappointing" are of myopic view and rather selfish.

At the same meeting these words were spoken there stood a well balanced man -

Neil Armstrong the first man on the Moon -  He wisely refused to be drawn into condemn the President for the cancellation of moon flights at this moment and time of an economic crisis in hand.

Astronauts are highly educated and trained to think fast  -  faster than us dummies -

Yet we get gems like these heros uttering pure . . . !

"I think America has a responsibility to maintain its leadership in technology and its moral leadership... to seek knowledge. Curiosity's the essence of human existence."

Ofcourse,  curiosity is the essence of human existence,  but NOT at the cost of an impending economy collapse
while feeding the sense of curiosity of a handful of moon walkers - not Michael Jackson though !
 
Jim Lovell, commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, said Obama's decision would have "catastrophic consequences" for US space exploration.

The last man on the Moon, Eugene Cernan, said it was "disappointing".

Last month Mr Obama cancelled Nasa's Constellation Moon landings programme, approved by ex-President George W Bush.

Nasa still aims to send astronauts back to the Moon, but it is likely to take decades.
 
Although Cernan and Lovell expressed their dismay with President Obama's decision, Mr Armstrong tactfully avoided the subject.

When Armstrong set foot on the Moon in July 1969, it seemed as if humanity would soon colonise other worlds.

Three senior boys of Catholic Hostel were determined to check the abuse of a junior boy, whose sister was a ''Miss Ceylon'', by the warden of Hindu Hostel

Pope Benedict once unwittingly approved housing for a priest accused of child sex abuse.

It took place in 1980 when Pope Benedict the 16th was archbishop of Germany's Munich and Freising diocese and known as Joseph Ratzinger.

However, the priest now known only as '' H ''  later abused other children and was convicted.

Roman Catholic clergy have recently been linked to paedophilia scandals.

German Bishop Robert Zollitsch has apologised to victims of abuse.

At a meeting with the German-born Pope on Friday he discussed accusations made in some 170 cases.

The Pope himself has defended celibacy among priests, saying it is a sign of "full devotion" to the Catholic Church.

The BBC report is here 

To ease my mind may I please present - - -

In the fifties there were two hostels at St Patrick's College, Jaffna,  Sri Lanka - then known as Ceylon -

Fr Francis, a local, was the Warden of Hindu Hostel and Fr Jesudasan, another local, was the Warden of Catholic Hostel.

Three senior boys of Catholic Hostel were determined to check the abuse of a junior boy,  whose sister was a ''Miss Ceylon'',  by the warden of Hindu Hostel -

One afternoon,  a non-school day,  when all boys were at 'studies' the fair boy was taken away from his desk by the warden of hindu hostel -

As if it was quite normal -

The three idealists slipped out of study hall - jumped over boundary wall - reached a near by home with phone -

Reported the indecency taking place in the room of the warden of hindu hostel to the person who answered at Bishop's House -

The three quickly ran back and slipped into their places in the study hall -

Rev Father Rector has had knocked at the door of Fr Francis and some halabuloo has taken place -

May be a phone call to Fr Rector from Bishop's House could have caused the commotion -

The culprit priest was transferred out  -  on a promotion  -  and all hell broke loose -

Irugalbandara was dismissed  -  He confessed a-study-hall-key-throwing incident-to Fr Bursar -
Fr Bursar, Selvaratnam with projecting belly,  heard the confession,  sneaked to rector and warden -
Bandara was given a large U shaped magnet and lengthy rope to pull out the bunch of keys from well -
Next saturday morning, much to his surprise and fear,  his pater has arrived at hostel to take him home -
Confession,  to our surprise and wrath,  couldn't save him from the ultimate punishment of dismissal -
 
Benedict an HSC student was made to leave college by constant checking of his desk and trunk -
This boy had sinus trouble and idiotically smoked ''3 Roses'' cigarettes applied with Wintegeno,  the harsh ''pain-rub'' cream -
His smokes were in an empty ''Swan'' pen box -  and had some photographs in a silver cigarette case -
For his luck,  Fr Jesudasan,  his oppressor,  pocketed the cigarette case gleefully and did not probe further -
The cigarettes in the Swan pen box were not discovered -

Fr wrote parents of Benedict -  His mother a strict disciplinarian wrote back ''Indeed the silver cigarette case was given him to keep some photos he and his father develop and print in the dark room they maintain at home'' -

And she added ''If our son had any forbidden matter he should be severely punished'' -

The boy took the shortest cut out of college in fear of dismissal and an angered mum -

He was the only student of Fr David, the Linguist, who did not enter Uni and graduate -

The other two ended their careers as Director of Planning and Govt Agent Batticaloa -

B wasn't a dullard - Passed exams w/o studying at hostel study times -

The third,  Gunawardane,  too left college soon after,  and went onto get a surveyor's license -  

None of them completed their studies -

Society expects devotion,  love,  understanding towards children from Catholic Priests -

But gets mostly abuse and oppression that blasts the future of their wards -

Personally,  the priests in general cannot be blamed for the natural,  biological urge they feel as normal humans -

Semen secreted by the gonads (sexual glands) and other sexual organs -

It is well known,  the urge to send out the secreted semen in a man is ordered by his brain and he looks out for another body -

The wise finds the easy way  -  his own hand  -  masturbation -

Many bloggers and thinkers have advocated the Catholic Church to either permit the priests to marry -
 
Or add the advantages of Masturbation in their seminarian curriculum -

Nature has its own ways and means !

Report said Catholic Church was inept, self-serving and for 10 years displayed no obvious concern for welfare of children

Former priest Father Bill Carney raped Paul Dwyer when he was 13

He was named as one of the worst cases in Dublin's Catholic diocese in the Murphy report into clerical abuse there.

Murphy report into the cover up by the Catholic Church and Irish state of clerical sex abuse was published in November 2009.

It described Carney as "a serial sexual abuser of children, male and female", saying that there had been complaints and suspicions "in respect of 32 named individuals" about him, adding that "there is evidence he abused many more children".

We now know that complaints about Carney were diverted away from the Irish criminal justice system to Bishop James Kavanagh.

Bishop Kavanagh did what he could to protect Carney from the law to avoid scandal for the Church.

One conscientious policeman, praised in the Murphy Report, did investigate complaints and they came to court.

But the press were kept away as Carney pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent assault and got probation.

Six families were paid compensation and Carney was soon back working, with access to children.

In 1992, the Church convicted Carney internally, under Canon law, of child sexual abuse.

But this compulsive paedophile refused to leave the parish house.

So the Church paid him £30,000 to go away.
 
Sex Offender's Act came to force in 2003 - 

Father Carney was convicted of ''Indecent assault'' in two cases before 2003

And therefore he will NOT be in the  Sex Offenders Register.

Carney meanwhile remains free to disappear beneath the radar.

[[[ The Catholic Bishop cared only for the ''Sex Offending Priest''  and  his ''Catholic Church''  and NOT  for the safety of Children ]]]

Bob Geldof challenges BBC to prove its report that millions raised for famine relief in Ethiopia were spent to buy weapons

Bob Geldof challenges BBC to prove its report that millions raised for famine relief in Ethiopia were spent to buy weapons

[[[ BBC fell flat on its face and two Directors resigned in the broadcast of the death of Dr David Kelly. ]]]

[[[ Dr Kelly,  the soft spoken Weapons Inspector of United Nations insisted ''there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq''. ]]]

[[[ Tony Blair, on the other hand persistently and urgently asserted ''there are weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Sadam Hussein and could be deployed within 45 minutes''. ]]]

[[[ Blair had to go past the normal Inquest by Coroner and appoint Lord Hutton as Special Commissioner to get a verdict of suicide. ]]]

[[[ All evidences pointed to a pre-planned ''murder''. ]]]

[[[ Blair was echoing Dick Cheney who used falsified CIA reports to go to war with oil rich Iraq to make money for his Haliburton company. ]]]

[[[ And no weapons of mass destruction were ever found,  just as Dr David Kelly insisted. ]]]

Bob Geldof the anti-poverty campaigner said there was "not a shred of evidence" Band Aid or Live Aid money was used to purchase weapons by rebels.

The report included claims that substantial sums of aid that went into rebel-held areas of Tigray province in 1985 were used to buy arms.

The news editor of World Service, Andrew Whitehead,  said the BBC had "quite a lot of evidence" to support the report.

The World Service report featured interviews with two former members of a rebel group.

The CIA also alleged aid money was being misused, Mr Whitehead pointed out in a radio discussion.

He accepted the 1985 report from the crime agency was written before Band Aid had gone into Ethiopia.

[[[ What use is this report written before the event? ]]]

Mr Geldof, said one of the sources quoted in the report was a "dissident political exile" who was "not credible".
   
Martin Plaut, the World Service's Africa editor who broke the story, said: "We came across a lot of other evidence which made it clear that yes, indeed, some of the money had gone astray."

They and a number of other agencies, including Oxfam, the Red Cross, Christian Aid and Save The Children, are also writing to chairman of the BBC Trust, Sir Michael Lyons.

Every president hires the best lawyer - Best lawyers are hired by those that have the means.  And all lawyers accept brief from anyone they choose.

 

Does not this simple fact known to Fox News host Sean Hannity who leads the charge.

This witless idiot knows and persists in attack as if George Bush did NOT hire lawyers who represented unsavoury characters.

That means Fox News and Sean Hannity are making their living peddling false rumour.

That's the reason why Wolf Blitzer apologized the following night.

This also means people with sense will never view Fox News.

Obama asks Congress simple majority on healthcare reform - Does the common folk understand the dirty tricks of the Republicans

Obama asks Congress simple majority on healthcare reform - Does the common folk understand the dirty tricks of the Republicans

Healthcare has been a priority for Mr Obama but the legislation has been blocked by the Republican minority.

Last week, a televised summit hosted by Mr Obama in Washington failed to break the deadlock between Democrats and ''large business and International Corporations support'' Republicans.

The president wants Congress to back the latest version of his $950bn (£621bn) plan to cover uninsured Americans and lower premiums.

Mr Obama said in a speech at the White House.   
"I believe the United States Congress owes the American people a final vote on healthcare reform,"

He said the proposed reforms had incorporated the best ideas from the Democrats and the Republicans.

"I ask Congress to finish its work, and I look forward to signing this reform into law"

"At stake right now is not just our ability to solve this problem, but our ability to solve any problem," he added.

"For us to start over now could simply lead to delay that could last for another decade or even more,"  Obama said.

Health care legislation is currently stalled in Congress as the Senate Democrats no longer have the 60-seat majority required to defeat blocking tactics by Republicans.

Both chambers need to pass a unified version of the legislation for the president to sign it into law.

The Democrats can make use of a legislative technique called "reconciliation" to force the bill through Congress.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell reaffirmed his opposition to the president's plan.

"Americans don't want us to tack a few good ideas onto a bill that reshapes one-sixth of the economy, vastly expands the role of government and which raises taxes and cuts Medicare to pay for it all."

Aattral Editor Dishes Out with Same Spoon to Peddlers of Troubles

ஆற்றல் கேள்வி கேட்போர் கைங்காரியம்

(இரண்டாவது தொடர்)

ஆற்றல் ஆசிரியர்க்கு வரும் கடிதங்களை தபால்கார் வசம் பெற்றதும் ─ உடனேயே உடைத்து வாசித்து சிலாகித்த பின்னரே -─ உரியவர் படிப்பது வளமை ─

ஆசிரியர் தனக்கு தானே ஓரு கடிதம் எழுதினார்  ─

''ஆற்றல் ஆசிரியரே ─ நீர் என்ன குமுதம் ஆனந்தவிகடன் ஆசிரியர் என்ற நினைப்போ  ?
நான் எழுதிய சிறு கதையை போடவில்லை,
பிறகு கவிதை அனுப்பினன் அதையும் காணேல்லை, உங்கை என்ன அய்சே செய்யிறீர்?
எல்லாத்தையும் இளுத்து மூடீட்டு வீட்டை போனால் உமக்கும் நல்லது உலகத்துக்கும் நல்லது, வணக்கம்.''

இதை வாசித்து ─ அட்காசமாக சிரித்து - ஏல்லோருக்கும் பெரிய நாட்டுகூத்து குரலில் வாசித்து காட்டி - பெண் கிளார்க் பொட்டையள் என்னிடம் பரிதாபம் போல நடித்து

''என்ன சேர் இப்படி நக்கல் அடித்து எழுதினவளுக்கு நல்ல பாடம் படிப்பிக்க வேணும் நீங்கள்''  என்னும் ரீதியில் பலர்

அடுத்த இதள் வெளிவந்தது

கேள்வி பதில் பகுதியில் பலரது கவனம் சென்றது

மேற் குறித்த கடிதமும் - அதன் பதிலும்

''அம்மணி, பத்திரிகைக்கு கதை, கவிதை, கட்டுரை எழுதும் விதி முறைகளை உங்களை போன்ற ஆர்வமுள்ள மாணவர் எழுத்துலகில் பிரவேசித்து பிரகாசிக்கவென நான்கு தடவை ஆற்றல் கொண்டு வந்ததே கவனிக்கவில்லையா
சரி போகட்டும் - உங்களுக்குள்ள பற்றாகுறை தங்களுக்கு தானே புரியும் -  உங்களது படைப்புகளை திருத்தி எழுதி அனுப்பினேன் - அவற்றை மீள எழுதி அனுப்பாதது எனது சோம்பேறித்தனம் அல்லவே

வேறு ஆசிரியர்கள் தயங்காது குப்பைக்குள் எறிவதை நான் கஸ்டத்தை பாராது திருத்தி எழுதி எனது செலவில் அனுப்பியது என் குற்றமே -

ரோசம்,  நன்றி,  நரம்பில்லாத உனக்கு உதவிய என்னை மலத்தில் தோய்த்த பழம் செருப்பால் தான் விழாச வேணும்

இந்த பதிலை எழுத கிடைத்த சந்தர்பத்திற்கு அந்த கடித்தை எழுத தூண்டியோருக்கு என் மனமார்ந்த நன்றியை தவறாது கூறிவிடுங்கள்''

ஓட்டு மொத்தமாக ஈ ஆடவில்லை எந்த முகத்திலும்

திருலிங்கம் அய்யா கீழ்ப்பார்வை ஓன்றால் ஆசிரியரை நமட்டு சிரிம்பொன்றுடன் பார்த்தார்

அவ்வளவும் தான் -

Reformist newspapers of Iran ''Etemaad'' largest daily paper - ''Iran Dokht'' weekly and ''Sina'' a provincial are banned in Iran

Reformist newspapers of Iran ''Etemaad'' largest daily  paper - ''Iran Dokht'' weekly and ''Sina'' a provincial are banned in Iran

The Iran supreme leader declared before elections that only his nominee will be accepted as president.

On a massive fraud the nominee was declared as winner.

The opposition and reformist movement did not accept the verdict and took to the streets and protested in 1000s.

The govt forces beat up protesters in the streets - beat up foreign and local journalists for filming assaults on people -  arrested many - raped and tortured them in police cells and prisons - many of them died in the process - one student in a TV show openly criticised the supreme commander to his face - the govt did not have the courage to harm him.

The modern world comes into contact constantly with all communities all over - Today we are aware of what's happening in all parts of the globe - Look at Hait i today -
Feel the sympathetic support it receives from every corner of the world - A few years back when a horribly bad ruler and his son ruined the country the rest of the world stood aloof saying ''We shouldn't interfere in internal matters of another country''.

Is the world not interfering in Haiti by providing water,  food,  medicene,  warm clothes and shelter - When a call or even a tweak for help wasn't heard from the President of the country.

Do you remember what the world was doing when hurricane hit Burma just last year - 100s were dying in cold w/o clean water to drink and lack of food and medicene ?
And the Military Junta that governs Burma totally refused  entry into Burma for the keen and ready to help ''Foreign Aid Agencies'' - The heartless ruling bastards did NOT  offer any help when their own people were dying and UN was unable to raise the Haed of the govt even on the phone.

Today the world has shrunk to a tiny village - A village so small the ''wife beaters'' have no freedom - A village so vigorous that when a man raises his hand against his wife at home the police is at his door - A good neighbour has used a phone positively.

Likewise it is our bounden duty to give voice to inhuman atrocities active anywhere in the world.
