History of the Honeywell Project Part 1

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 06/05/2008 - 22:34

This article begins a Five-part history of the Honeywell Project.
This paper will examine the mutual benefits gained by the United States government and the Honeywell Corporation. These benefits came at a great cost to the citizens of the United States and other victims of the United States counterinsurgency mission in Vietnam. The U.S. government enlisted the aid of an insidious corporation called Honeywell to create weapons of human destruction. Honeywell was able to reap huge economic gains while enjoying the accolades attributed to patriots.

St Cloud student leaves school after his service dog is threatened

University student leaves school after Muslim threatens his service dog

Unconscionable. The student who made the threat should be expelled. But because this is an issue involving Islam, instead the multiculturalists start speaking soothingly about "misunderstanding, " which means surrender.

Anti-War Protest in St. Paul

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 09/16/2007 - 23:00

Around 2000 persons met at the St Paul Cathedral on Saturday afternoon to hear anti-war speeches from veterans and others before heading as a group to the Excel Energy Center, the site of the upcoming Republican National Convention. After reaching the Excel Energy Center, we walked to the State Capitol grounds where speakers continued the rally.
I took pictures of the event, and rather than write about the content of the speeches, I prefer to present the words to a poem which Katrina Plotz, its author, read at the Cathedral before the march.
