Governmentium - Described as an Element on Periodic Table

The element, Governmentium (Gv),

Research has led to the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second to take from four days to four years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years; It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.

When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

United States Should Boycott Olympics: Send Message to China and World

According the American Heritage dictionary, fascism is a system of government marked by 1) centralization of authority under a dictator, 2) stringent socioeconomic controls, 3) suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and 4) a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. The Chinese autocratic regime gleefully fulfills this definition. China’s forced occupation of Tibet has led to the deaths of an estimated 1.2 million Tibetans. Additionally China’s direct support of the Sudan genocide blatantly continues. Within China's borders, compulsory family “planning” and forced abortions are universal. China has hundreds of forced-labor prisons, which hold political and religious dissidents. There are firsthand reports of physical and psychological torture, confessions forced by torture, live organ harvesting, and other inconceivable atrocities within these prisons.

America should send a message to China: we do not support you; we will not attend the Olympics.

The North American Union? One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago, Henry Clay Told Us it Would Not Work


Henry Clay: speech regarding the Mexican War (1846)

"…we believe the two nations [Mexico & America] could not be happily governed by one common authority, owing to their great difference of race, law, language and religion, and the vast extent of their respective territories, and large amount of their respective populations…."

"That we deprecate, therefore, such a union, as wholly incompatible with the genius of our Government, and with the character of free and liberal institutions; and we anxiously hope that each nation may be left in the undisturbed possession of its own laws, language, cherished religion and territory, to pursue its own happiness, according to what it may deem best for itself."

Henry Clay, The Papers of Henry Clay, vol. 10: Candidate, Compromiser, Elder Statesman, Melba Porter Hay, ed. (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1991), pp. 361-376.

War for oil? No. Oil for war? Yes.

According to a MSNBC article from last year, the War in Iraq is costing the United States around $255 million per day. Iraq's sustainable oil production capacity is almost 3 million barrels per day. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Iraqi ground holds more than 112 billion barrels of oil—the world's second largest proven reserves— and unexplored regions could yield an additional 100 billion barrels. One million barrels of oil a day, is either 1/20 of the United States daily gas consumption or 100 Million dollars (calculated at $100 a barrel). America has liberated Iraqi’s from the torture chambers of Saddam, but in doing so we have gone billions of dollars further in debt.

The month that President Bush was sworn into office, gas was averaging $1.70 a gallon. Now, after five years of war in Iraq, gas is $3.60 a gallon. That is two dollars more to pay—because of the war on terror. Iraqi oil should be used to pay America back. It is a little known fact, but Kuwait (think Desert Storm) paid the United State $36 billion for its liberation. Iraq should do the same.

Congressman Paul Broun (GA) Urges Congress to Go On “Pork Free” Diet

Congressman Paul Broun is standing strong for the American Taxpayer.

“We must stop the spending. Earmarks are just the beginning of the process. Earmarks are a vehicle that Members of Congress can use that leads to fraud and abuse, and to government corruption. We must stop these ‘bridges to nowhere.'” --Congressman Paul Broun, M.D.

Consider these latest earmark statistics:

  • 2008 included 11,610 projects ($17.2 billion)
  • 337% increase in number of earmarks since last year (last year was 2,658)
  • 30% increase in earmark spending since last year (last year was $13.2 billion)
  • Total pork identified by Citizens Against Government Waste since 1991 adds up to $271 billion.

Congressman Broun was one of only 16 Members of Congress to achieve a perfect score. The Georgia delegation was further represented by Rep. Nathan Deal and Rep. Lynn Westmoreland who each earned a perfect score.

“I am committed to being a good steward of the taxpayer’s money,” said Broun. “As this perfect score shows, I am now, and will continue to be, a consistent vote to eliminate wasteful government spending. We simply have to stop the spending."

Congressman Broun’s 12 votes, when taken together, would have saved taxpayers over $57,000,000 in frivolous government spending in 2007. Examples of projects that Congressman Broun voted against funding include:

  • $3,000,000 for the Lewis Center for Education Research in Apple Valley, California;
  • $628,843 for grape genetics research in Geneva, New York;
  • $250,000 for the East Coast Shellfish Research Institute in Toms River, New Jersey; and
  • $200,000 for the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine in Orono, Maine.

Congressman Broun believes we should adopt such proposals as:

*No more “monuments to me.” Lawmakers should not use taxpayer money to fund projects named after themselves.

*No more “airdrops.” The process by which Congress spends the American people's money should be completely transparent. Members of Congress should not circumvent transparency by airdropping earmarks into bills in conference at the last minute.

*No more “fronts” or “pass-through” entities. Taxpayer funds should not be laundered through “front” operations that mask their true recipients.

*Members of Congress who request earmarks should put forth a plan detailing exactly how the money will be spent and why they believe the use of taxpayer funding is justified. Members of Congress who “secure” earmarks should place these plans in the Congressional Record well in advance of floor votes on those earmarks.

*The Executive Branch should be held accountable for its own earmark practices. The Executive Branch asks for earmarks, too, and has done so under administrations Democratic and Republican alike. Members of Congress should hold present and future Administrations accountable for the way in which taxpayer-funded earmarks are used.

United States Transfers Millions to Build Border Fence...in Egypt!

The United States Government has announced that it is planning to help Egypt build a border fence along the Gaza-Egypt border. Washington transferred $23 million worth of special aid to the Egypt as part of its assistance in locating smuggling tunnels.

Weapon smuggling from the Gaza strip into Egypt has been a problem every since Israel gave up the Gaza strip. As the strip is now virtually controlled by terrorists, Egypt no longer has a buffer zone protecting their border. Thus, we see, the US insisted that Israel leave the Gaza strip. Israel left the Gaza strip. Terrorists then took it over, and subsequently have been shooting rockets into Israel, and smuggling weapons into Egypt. Our government, seeing the problem it created, gives Egypt millions of dollars to build a fence. Wait a minute. I thought that fences did not work? I thought that fences were bad? Remember the global outrage when Israel built its fence? The United Nations called an unprecedented two emergency sessions to "discuss" Israel’s fence. Alternatively, try our attempt to build a fence on our Southern border.... Nope we cannot every get around to do that, rather we build a fence for Egypt.

The planned fence between Egypt and Gaza will employ technology directed at preventing the fence from being damaged. This is in response to Palestinian militants who blew a hole in the current wall between the two nations that allowed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flock into Egypt late January and early February.

The American Army Corps of Engineers plans to send teams to Egypt to help push forward the border fence plans. While building the wall, the Americans also hope to help Egyptian security forces locate and destroy smuggling tunnels into Gaza

The United States Government is more interested in securing Egypt's borders then it is in securing ours. This is just wrong. Plain and simple.

Bush Tax Cuts Benefit Lower-Income Individuals and Families

You wouldn't have heard this on CNN (Clinton New Network) or CBS (no comment), would you? The fact that the Bush tax cuts drastically benefit the middle class.

See it for yourself.

Hit: Teapot Tantrums.

US Deputy Secretary of State Tobias Resigns

New York, April 28: US Deputy Secretary of State Randall L Tobias has resigned after confirming to ABC Television Network that he had been a customer of a Washington, DC, escort service whose owner has been charged by federal prosecutors with running a prostitution racket.

Tobias, 65, Director of US Foreign Assistance and administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), had previously served as the Ambassador for Emergency Fund for AIDS relief. {Foreign Assistance? We cannot even pay off our debt?}

A State Department press release late yesterday afternoon said only he was leaving for "personal reasons".

On Thursday, Tobias told ABC News that he had several times called the "Pamela Martin and Associates" escort service "to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage".
For the rest of the story click here.

I cannot tell if this is a ploy by the media to make the Bush Administration look bad, or if Tobias is just one more bad apple, one of the many infesting the Bush Administration.
