What horrible abuses from the past do you suspect Republicans want...
...to bring back? I remember my dad telling me over and over when I was a VERY smart young girl that it was too bad that I was so smart because boys wouldn't like it and wouldn't want to marry me. I remember having a (male) math teacher in 4th grade who simply stopped teaching me for the next four years (I was in Algebra when I started his class in 4th grade, and ended up in Algebra in 8th grade, and did absolutely NOTHING in his class in the entire 4 years) because he thought girls didn't need to know math. I've spent some time reading about the workplace abuses of the past - child labor, on-the-job deaths from dangerous working conditions, sweat shops, "women's" wages about half that of men, sexual harrassment on the job with no recourse, etc. I was reading just today about past US Presidents in the early years of the country who imprisoned political opposition. In feudal days, the lords lived like kings while peasants starved to death. Reading about people's lives in the days of Charles Dickens reads like a horror novel.

What's the worst thing you fear the Republicans will bring back?

6. Its been happening the USA for decades, the media just hasn't been
reporting it. But I am afraid that as bad as it is and as many innocent people that have been and are being victimized by the Bush Crime Family along with the CIA and the Bilderberg and Secret Societies like Illuminati that it will reach the levels of millions of victims instead of just thousands.

George Bush, The CIA, Mind Control & Child Abuse
May 5, 2003 From the Streets of Little Beirut - by Glen Yeadon

On January 28, 2003, amid the furor of the impending war with Iraq the British press briefly reported on Operation Ore, the most thorough and comprehensive police investigation of crimes against children before being squashed by the Blair government. Besides implicating Rock guitarist Peter Townsend of the Who, the report claimed that senior members of Tony Blair's government were being investigated for pedophilia and the "enjoyment" of child-sex pornography. With the investigation reaching to senior members of his Government, Blair declared a news blackout on the story.

Moreover, the British report was not the first such case reported. In fact, it followed on the heels of a report from Portugal. On November 27, 2002, the press reported a scandal of pedophile ring run from a state orphanage. The Guardian reported that the scandal threatened to engulf diplomats, media personalities and senior politicians. Photographs of senior government officials with young boys from Lisbon's Casa Pia orphanage were among the evidence. More shocking however, were the revelations that systematic sexual abuse of children at the home had allegedly been going on for more than 20 years and had been known to police and other authorities for most of that time.

On January 14, 2002, Insight Magazine reported the charges leveled by Ben Johnson against his employer Dyncorp, a major defense contractor. Johnson charged that officials and employees of Dyncorp were engaging in perverse, illegal and inhumane behavior and were purchasing illegal weapons, women, forged passports and participating in other immoral acts. Johnson had witnessed his supervisors and fellow employees buying 12- to 15-year-olds as sex slaves.

While prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, the global sex trade is big business. The impact of illegal immigrant traffic in Canada is estimated at between $120 million to $400 million per year accounting for pproximately 8,000 to 16,000 people arriving in Canada per year illegally. The estimate is from Organized Crime Impact Study, prepared for the Solicitor General of Canada. :puke: Once smuggled into Canada the young girls are sold into bondage throughout a North America network. Moreover, Canada is not alone. Young Russians and Ukrainian women that wish to immigrate to Israel are often smuggled into the country destitute and at the mercy of their pimp. More disgusting is the role the United States government plays in facilitating this global sex trade.

Instead of banning the previously mentioned Dyncorp from further defense contracts, the regime of George W Bush rewards it in granting major contracts for the Iraqi war. Even more shameful is the wink and nod the state department grants the Saudis. The Arabian Peninsula has long been known to be purchasers of slaves. Mostly the slaves came from India or Africa however, with the advent of the oil wealth the Saudis have became more selective and are known as high-end buyers. The Saudi Arabian Government continues to refuse to sign the United Nation’s treaty on slavery and extradition treaties. There have been several incidents in the past where the media has reported a slave of a Saudi prince brought into the United States escaped. The State Department then intervenes and returns the
escaped slave to the Saudi prince and the incident forgotten.

The State Department exempts the Saudi princes from normal custom procedures. A child slave bought by a Saudi prince can be delivered to his plane and allowed to depart without the required passport for the child. One fortunate victim that became entangled in the Mid East sex ring was the former Miss USA Shannon Marketic. She had been lured to Brunei by what she believed was legitimate modeling work. Being a high profile case she was returned to the United States and filed suit. The former Miss USA lost her lawsuit as the State department granted immunity to her abductors.

Many of the pictures of the young children peering out from posters and milk cartons that have disappeared in the United States have fallen victim to this global sex trade. They indeed may have been lucky for there is a much more sinister side to child molestation. In fact, it is undoubtedly the most macabre and hideous aspect to evolve out of the United States use of Nazi scientists, the CIA’s Project MK-ULTRA. This grotesque project of ghastly experiments in mind control evolved out of earlier CIA projects in search for a truth serum...

Additionally Dr. George Estabrooks of Colgate University carried out experiments paralleling the Nazis brain washing methods by drugs and hypnosis. Estabrooks connections with the army, CID, FBI and other agencies are still shrouded in secrecy. However, it seems that the doctor could not help but talk about his experiments occasionally and what is known of his work comes from his loose tongue.

During the war, the allies had captured documents in the Nazis experiments on inmates of Dachau with mescaline and other psychedelics in a search for a truth serum. The doctor in charge of the Dachau experiments was Dr. Hubertus Strughold. Strughold was also involved in barbaric high altitude experiments on inmates of Dachau. Strughold was brought to the United States under the Project Paperclip and became America’s father of space medicine. His use of mind-altering drugs on inmates provided the foundation for the CIA’s research into truth serums and mind control.

Ironically, the CIA’s first widespread use of sex came from a program to blackmail United States politicians conducted by Edwin Wilson... :grr:

5. Think mud huts-subsistence farming.
Zero medical care, other than the local spiritual leader praying over you.
No shoes, twenty hour work days, birthing ten babies in order for two to reach adulthood. Tax collectors with whips, only one in one hundred able to read. Endless dirt--dirt floors, no baths, dirty, lice infested bedding and hair, burlap windows, green drinking water, endless hunger, swollen, distended bellies, and fear-fear-fear- all the time.

10. Robber Barons
I fear Alito will pass through every corporate merger regardless of anti trust law.
He'll rule against the right to compensation from any corporation for anyone, any amount, or for any reason.
He'll reject any violation of environment law and will rule consistantly for wealth and power.

The gap between worker and investor will widen to the point that most will live in poverty for decades to come.
