HOW REAL IS HER LOVE? by Marc H. Rudov

Binary Property

I love you. Three powerful words. They change lives. Are they real? Unlikely. Men and women blithely utter these three words as easily as politicians promise tax cuts. Do they mean it? Odds are, no. The test below will tell you for sure.

Half of marriages end in divorce. What is a divorce, really? Besides being a legal process and a destroyer of families, it’s a biopsy on a marriage, a diagnostic evaluation of a failed union. On the alter, bride and groom pledge love as the primary component of their wedlock. As petitioner and respondent in a dissolution, which the wife initiates 70% of the time, they bicker over the loss of assets and children — not love. So, the biopsy reveals no evidence of love. What happened to it? Did it just vanish?

Unlikely. People marry for a variety of ulterior motives — money, lifestyle, loneliness, security, convenient sex, career, appearance, parental pressure, legitimate children, and Green Cards — none of which is love. In fact, in the entire history of marriage, love as a uniting force is a relatively new concept, and a weak one at that.

My contention is that love in a failed marriage or relationship was not real and never existed. To use a scientific analogy: If love is the chief component of marriage, it cannot disappear into thin air, without a trace. Think of love as having a binary property: either it exists or it doesn’t. By the same token, glass is the chief component of windows; it can’t just evaporate one day, defying all laws of physics and chemistry.

There are people who believe they’re marrying for love — but only because they don’t understand its meaning. Almost any dictionary mentions “passionate affection” in its definitions of love. But, most of us have experienced passionate affection, numerous times, with our spouses and paramours. If we’re honest, though, we’ll admit that those encounters weren’t necessarily love. So, a big problem is that, by and large, we don’t know the meaning of love. It’s a nebulous concept. Yet, we recite it, believe others who pledge it to us, and base wealth-depleting decisions on it. Total insanity.

”Reality is the beginning not the end…” –Wallace Stevens

Despite the monumental big buck sizzle of presidential campaigns, there comes a point when eventually, inevitably, form and substance must be measured.

The mainstream media and rabid left wing may be totally in the tank for Senator Barack Obama, and the youthful, charismatic young Arab-American may look and sound good, however, increasingly, his serial flip-flopping smoke and mirrors act is showing cracks.

Obama supporters will be quick to suggest such an observation is merely the dream quest wish of an Obama critic scared spitless of what the most liberal senator could do the republic partnered with a liberal supermajority and Nancy Pelosi.

FINANCIAL CRISIS LEADING TO ONE WORLD SOCIALISM? By NWV News Director, Jim Kouri

The finance ministers of the G-7 countries met in Washington last weekend and many conservatives found their discussions disturbing. In one of his updates for the news media on Friday, President George W. Bush revealed his true feelings regarding “internationalism.”

“Secretary Paulson, Secretary Rice and I just had a productive discussion with finance ministers of America’s partners in the G7 — Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Japan. I’m pleased to be with Prime Minister Junker of Luxembourg, who is the President of the Eurogroup of countries, Managing Director Strauss-Kahn of the International Monetary Fund, President Zoellick of the World Bank, Chairman Draghi of the Financial Stability Forum,” Bush said.

President Bush says he’s confident The Group of Seven nations will be able to act together to defuse the global economic crisis, but some economists aren’t enthusiastic about coupling the US economy with the economies of other nations some of which are socialist or quasi-socialist.

THE PLANNED THEFT OF THE ELECTION OF 2008 By Jon Christian Ryter

The State of Virginia, the military “capital” of the United States, has not voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate since it cast its electoral votes for Lyndon B. Johnson—and a continued presence in Vietnam—in 1964. According to the liberal media, suddenly Virginia is the unexpected battleground that will likely decide the Election of 2008. In 2000, Democratic nominee Al Gore, Jr. correctly predicted that the race would be decided by Florida voters. In 2004, Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry correctly predicted that race would be settled in Ohio. Earlier this month both Democratic presidential nominee Barack Hussein Obama and Virginia’s liberal Democratic governor, Tim Kaine, both opined that the Election of 2008 would be decided by Virginians. Virginia is a critical State for the far left this year because not only is there an extremist liberal running for President, former Virginia Governor Mark Warner—a liberal who supports a date-certain withdrawal from Iraq—is vying for the US Senate seat of retiring Sen. John Warner, a pro-military Republican moderate. Warner’s seat is also being sought by an equally popular former Republican Governor Jim Gilmore, who supported the surge in Iraq. The left absolutely needs Warner’s seat and its almost a certainty that the dead will rise in Virginia to vote against military-minded John Sidney McCain in the most military state in the union.

Coincidence, Or ‘Weather Warfare’? By James Hanson

POWELL, Ohio — Weather warfare has been going on for many years, out of sight of the media and of you and me. There is so little said about it, that a statement by then Secretary of Defense William Cohen at a counterterrorism conference April 28, 1997, shows up as a flag in almost everything written on this subject:

“Others are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensity our efforts.”

Earthquakes are electronic, as is the weather, an analysis developed more than a century ago by Thomas Edison’s assistant Nikolo Tesla, who set off his first earthquake in 1890. He is still the recognized genius behind HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program), a field of seven-story poles, or towers, whose antennae send out electromagnetic current to the ionosphere from a national park in Alaska, silently performing research having scientific value for agencies “including the Department of Defense.” It is a project of the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and the University of Alaska, operated by distant computers.

There is an issue between global warming environmentalists and weather warfare detectives as to the causes of unusual change in the environment. HAARP focuses an “ionospheric heater” capable of bouncing electromagnetic waves off the ionosphere to focus beams at distant spots to melt polar ice caps, vibrate tectonic plates into an earthquake or a volcano into eruption, turn a tropical storm into a hurricane (or typhoon), create a dam to block air flow to create a flood or a drought, deplete the ozone layer, or perhaps even affect the human brain.
