Human Rights and Privileges in Canada
December 22, 2008
By Stephen Pidgeon
In Canada, the Canadian Human Rights Act (the “CHRA”) is becoming well known, as one person after another is brought before various CHRC tribunals for the offense of violating somebody’s “human rights.” I suppose that since it is possible for almost anyone to get prosecuted under this Act, it would help for those subject to this tribunal to know just exactly what is being tossed around as a “human right.”
Under the CHRA, the purpose of the Act is given: the Act is to extend the laws in Canada to give effect, within the purview of matters coming within the legislative authority of Parliament, to the principle that all individuals should have (not do have) an equal opportunity to make for themselves the lives that they are able and wish to have, consistent with their duties and obligations as members of society, without being hindered in or prevented from doing so by discriminatory practices based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted.

Pope Benedict’s misread on UN’s Declaration of Human Rights

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.1
Today Pope Benedict XVI addressed the U.N. General Assembly. During the course of this address, on the 60th anniversary year of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Pope made many statements concerning the nature and origin of human rights, the values supported by these rights, and their ultimate pragmatic application, which of course, included reference to the right of the Catholic Church to have a meaningful effect on the dynamic properties of the emerging sociological and political paradigm in the modern context.
The Pope, however, is wrong on human rights; dangerously wrong. Read more

The Collapse of the Federal Reserve Note
The federal reserve note (the FRN) is not the currency of the United States of America.
Article I, section 10 declares that no State shall make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts.
Given the federalist system in place prior to the Civil War and the enactment of the 14th Amendment, this authority applies individually and collectively. In other words, if no single State could make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, the 50 States acting collectively are without the authority to do so as well, unless such authority was granted constitutionally – which it was not.
The creation of the Federal Reserve System comports with the statutory authority of the federal government. The creation of Federal Reserve Notes, on the other hand, requires an amendment to the constitution of the Unites States of America. No such amendment has been made.
Therefore,
Federal Reserve Notes are not the legal currency of the United States.

Restoring Economic Vitality in the United States

As I write this, the stock markets worldwide are careening from a credit crisis that is the largest (in real numbers) in history, and the current decline reflects only the tip of the iceberg when considering all the losses from the mortgage crisis (about $4.5 trillion). There is a lot that has gone wrong with the economy in this second term of the Bush administration, because the chickens, as they say, have come home to roost.
Let’s begin with our indictment of the policy of “free trade.” No indictment is complete without an indictment of the brains behind the operation. The for-profit think tanks have made argument after argument about the benefits of allowing American corporations to abandon their commitments in the US in favor of quasi-slave labor in the Far East, whose cost discounts have allowed these corporations to price gouge for as long as possible until the OEMs achieved market access. Really. It was only a matter of time.

Why President Bush’s economic plan ultimately will fail

President Bush is now crossing the country in furtherance of his bid for re-election, attempting to garner support for his policy of outsourcing American jobs as a positive economic force in America. Several premises must be recognized:
First, the loss of approximately 3 million jobs in manufacturing over the last three years was intentionally done under the Bush administration’s free-trade policy.
Second, this economic deconstruction is a policy embraced by virtually all economic think tanks in the United States, which is to say, this policy is embraced by Republicans and Democrats alike.
