Every once in a while, there occurs a major shift in the international arena. The First World War and its consequences were the seminal change of the last century, collapsing ancient empires and ushering in a new era of ethno-nationalist clashes, political radicalism and emerging powers challenging the established order of Versailles, forces that were fully unleashed in the aftermath of the Great Depression. From the middle of the Second World War, it became clear that the new world order woulSCI Testifies at Congressional Hearing Regarding the Import of Already Harvested Polar Bears SCI Represents Hunters and Science-Based Wildlife Management Safari Club Internationa Washington, D.C. – -- Today, Dr. William Moritz from Safari Club International testified in support of polar bear conservation and research before the House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources’ Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife.

My interests include the climate change debate - yes, there is a debate - political current affairs in Australia, the US and Britain, and religio-political issues from a non-religious perspective. I also have an interest in history and the way the study of it has been hijacked by theories that have their origins in the radicalism of the 1960s.I’ve caught some heat since election night when I made my first reference to the person whom I expected would turn out to be our first punk president.As I noted in a related February column, there was plenty of pre-election justification for concern that the most powerful elected office in the world was about to be occupied by, at the very minimum, a “a young, inexperienced person” who

合衆国憲法では、大統領になるには候補者が「アメリカ合衆国生まれであること」を必要とする。両親がアメリカ人でも生まれたのがアメリカ領土じゃないところで生まれた人は大統領になれない。＝＝＝＝＝合衆国憲法第二条　〔行政府〕（五）何人も、出生による合衆国市民あるいはこの憲法確定時に合衆国市民でなければ、大統領となることはできない。三十五歳に達しない者、また十四年以上合衆国の住民でない者は、大統領となることはできない。＝＝＝＝＝そのため、オバマとマケインの両候補者は、「立候補資格のあるアメリカ人か？」という疑惑が選挙戦中に出た。マケインはパナマの米軍施設内で生まれたことが、立候補資格があるのかと言われる原因となった。また、オバマは、ハワイではなく実はケニア生まれではないかという疑いがある。これは現地の父方のばあさんが、そのようにインタビューで話したというので、youtubeを中心に盛り上がった。選挙が終わって、オバマの保険改革を阻止するために、保守派がこの問題をまた持ち出してきた。キッシンジャーは大統領になれないし、シュワ知事も大統領になれない。オバマも仮にアフリカ生まれだと資格に疑義が生じる。The New York Post —that paragon of journalistic excellence —ran an editorial today blasting the latest piece of pork to come out of Albany.

The House also passed H.R. 509, the Marine Turtle Conservation Reauthorization Act of According to the World Wildlife Fund, conservation and endangered species protection are big in the U.S., but there is still a lot more work to be done and very little money to do it.According to WWF CEO Carter Roberts in a report to Congress, the illegal wildlife trade, habitat loss, and a multitude of other threats are pushing some species – such as tigers, elephants and turtles – to the brink of extinction.

I’ve been trying to examine my extreme schadenfreude at the troubles Annie Leibovitz is having. I’m not talking about her personal travails: In that realm, she has been faced with a number of upheavals in the past few years, all of it reason to feel only extreme empathy or offer best wishes . But her financial troubles … those are something different. Her affairs were in such diby David Golove Kal deserves a hearty congratulations on the publication of Does the Constitution Follow the Flag . The book is really a tour de force . Kal offers a sweeping treatment of over two centuries of legal thought respecting territoriality in its multiple manifestations; situates his discussion in wider political, economic, and intellectual developments during this same period; brings out the subtle internal linkages between the various legal doctrines he traces; and offers a

Tim, Peter, David, and Bill all have raised great questions about the normative dimensions of extraterritoriality and intraterritoriality. In my book I generally eschewed this dimension, though in the conclusion I discuss it a tiny bit. (I have also written about the GTMO conte

I’m currently being attacked by Sunny Hundal, an MCB supporting website, and, as I’ve already mentioned, some far-left weirdo . Why? Because I wrote a report for the Centre for Social Cohesion exposing racism which focused on race instead of Islam, and because of a two part article I was asked to write for the eGov monitor website about how to combat the BNP. According to Hundal , the CSC report is ‘farcial’ . In my eGov monitor article I wrote of Muslim self-pity and he has s
