U.S. Health Care Bill Praised by Fidel Castro – Round About Place

Friday, March 26th, 2010

DALLAS, March 26 /PRNewswire/ — Round About Place reported that Fidel Castro, undisputed dictator of Cuba has come out on state-run media and made some comments about the health care overhaul in the U.S. under the Obama administration. The remarks are shocking democrats and justifying the claims of conservatives concerning the bill that was signed into law on Tuesday by president Obama.

Castro called the passage and signing “a miracle” but then chastised America for taking too long to accomplish what communist Cuba enacted decades ago. He also stated that the new law was a “major victory for the Obama administration” and carried on to say that this empowered the administration to get a hold of lobbyist and “mercenaries.”

“It is really incredible that 234 years after the Declaration of Independence … the government of that country has approved medical attention for the majority of its citizens, something that Cuba was able to do half a century ago,” Castro wrote.

The McCain-Lieberman Police State Act

Friday, March 26th, 2010

For OpEdNews: Stephen Lendman – Writer

The McCain-Lieberman Police State Act – by Stephen Lendman

If enacted, it will advance what this writer addressed in a December 2007 article titled, “Police State America – A Look Back and Ahead,” covering numerous Bush administration laws, Executive Orders (EOs), National and Homeland Security Presidential Directives, edicts, and various illegal acts targeting designated domestic and foreign adversaries, dissent, civil liberties, human rights, and other democratic freedoms.

Straightaway post-9/11, George Bush signed a secret finding empowering the CIA to “Capture, Kill or Interrogate Al-Qaeda Leaders.” He also authorized establishing a covert global gulag to detain and interrogate them without guidelines on proper treatment.

Other presidential directives ordered abductions, torture and indefinite detentions. In November 2001, Military Order Number 1 empowered the Executive to capture, kidnap or otherwise arrest non-citizens (and later citizens) anywhere in the world for any reason and hold them indefinitely without charge, evidence, due process or judicial fairness protections of law.

The 2006 Military Commissions Act authorized torture and sweeping unconstitutional powers to detain, interrogate and prosecute alleged suspects and collaborators (including US citizens), hold them (without evidence) indefinitely in military prisons, and deny them habeas and other legal protections.

Concealed Weapons Bill Heads to Governor

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Ariz. House gives preliminary approval

PHOENIX – A bill making its way to the Governor could change the way people in Arizona carry guns. As it stands now, if you want to carry a concealed weapon, you have to get a permit.

But the new bill will allow any Arizona resident over 21 to carry a concealed weapon, and they wouldn’t have to take the training classes currently required.

Under this law proposal, the 8-hour training class would be optional—only required if you want to take your concealed weapon to other states.

Victoria Johnson lives in Sun City. She never owned a gun until recently, when she got her concealed weapons permit. She took the 8-hour class required by law, which covered serious legal issues.

She says, “I think that there are things that people need to know, that wouldn’t know if they didn’t take the class.”

Jim Gibbs with Shooter’s World worries that if this law passes, there could be a whole group of people carrying concealed weapons who may not use them responsibly.

Apparently criminals use them more responsibly.
