Greenspan warns economy may fall into recession

No kidding. He should be able to predict it. He has been in charge of our economy for years. He knows what he has done and he knows where we are headed. (Read his statement.)

With the 'New' Fed's policy of lowering inflation we ought to see the market correcting itself...But what that means is Recession at best, Depression at worst.

Bad science, Bad journalism. Since when does the truth not matter?

Statistics rule the day:

"the filmmakers commissioned a statistician, Andrey Feuerverger, a professor at the University of Toronto, who calculated that the odds that all six names would appear together in one tomb are one in 600, calculated conservatively — or as much as one in one million."

Science is the foundation (so says secular humanism):

"We’re not scientists. At the end of the day we can’t wait till every ossuary is tested for DNA,” he said. “We took the story that far. At some point you have to say, ‘I’ve done my job as a journalist.'"

So this is journalism; 'finding' a story regardless of its validity?:

"the filmmakers did not conduct DNA testing on the other ossuaries to determine whether the one inscribed “Judah, son of Jesus” was genetically related to either the Jesus or Mary Magdalene boxes; or whether the Jesus remains were actually the offspring of Mary."

Source NY Times Article "Crypt Held Body of Jesus and Family, Film Says" By Laurie Goodstein Feb 27, 2007.

All the evidence is before you. Do you read the historical 'fiction' book "The Da Vinci Code" and believe it because it sounds convincing when the author himself claims that his intention is not to persuade or inform but to entertain (although I think he is lying). And do you watch this 'documentary' which is being pervaded from a 'scientific' standpoint when the filmmakers are clear that they are storytellers and not scientists; and when the truth is sitting right before their eyes to 'discover'?

I want to see DNA testing done on the other ossuaries before I'd give an ounce of credibility to a single thing that they have to report. And who will decry these filmmakers' blatant disregard of reason and logic? I for one will. So then they do perform the DNA testing and it proves that this is the tomb where Jesus Christ's family was buried (we shall see, then again probably not). This is not proof the Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The other question I have is why do they presume that the Judah buried there is not Jesus' brother Judah? They may have a legitimate answer but I am still wondering about that one all the same (I hope there is no more use of statistical analysis in the project).

Thought Police Strike Again
Newest 'Hate Crime' Bill Violates Constitution: Attempts End-Run Around Free Speech

Lancaster, PA: The Constitution Party, the country's third largest political party in terms of voter registration, warns Americans that the latest federal 'hate-crime' bill introduced in the House of Representatives is a dangerous threat to Constitutionally protected rights.

H.R. 254, introduced by Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, is another version of proposed legislation passed by the House in 2005 and the Senate in 2004. Only strong public outcry and a Republican controlled Congress kept this type of legislation from becoming law. Now that Democrats are in charge there's a tough fight ahead to keep this dangerous bill from passing. H.R. 254 would make certain types of speech a federal offense. So-called 'hate crimes' legislation is dangerous for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the blatant unconstitutionality of such laws. 'Hate crime' laws would allow federal "thought police" to interfere in the law enforcement authority of states and localities - something our founders were clear was NOT to be allowed.

H.R. 254 would require every state to pass and enforce 'anti-hate' laws. It would outlaw stating a "bias" against certain 'federally protected' groups such as homosexuals.

Constitution Party National Chairman Jim Clymer warned "So-called 'hate crime' laws could mean the Bible would be considered 'hate literature' and preaching from it would be 'hate speech' because of references to religious teachings on homosexuality or other behaviors. The Orwellian implications of these types of laws mean Bible-believing Christians could become criminals simply because they spoke out about their beliefs."

Citing a 2004 case in Philadelphia, where 11 Christians were charged under a 'hate-crimes' statute for peacefully protesting at a gay rights rally, Mr. Clymer, a practicing attorney, said "Law-abiding Americans became criminals because they exercised a right our forebears fought and died for".

"By introducing the Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) federal 'hate crime' bill into Congress for the second time, Rep. Jackson-Lee shows she's bound and determined to stifle your First Amendment Rights no matter how many times she has to make a run at it", noted Constitution Party Communication Director Mary Starrett who added: "The Constitution Party condemns H.R. 254 as an affront to our liberty. Today, ADL-inspired 'thought crime' laws are stripping nations of free speech.

"In Canada and many European countries, it is a crime to use the internet to criticize 'federally protected' groups, such as homosexuals and Muslims. In England, two men who called Islam 'wicked' were indicted under Britain's 'hate crime' law and now face seven years in prison. Those horrors do not belong in America!"

Referring to the group behind this bill, Clymer noted: "Congresswoman Jackson-Lee's H.R. 254 is being pushed by the same group, ADL, responsible for the British law that says truth cannot be used as a defense in court. only the complaints by members of specially protected groups who say their feelings have been hurt are being allowed. The reality of what these types of laws are doing and have done to people across the world
should be a chilling reminder to Americans to oppose these laws while we still can" warned Clymer.
