This is another fly in the global soup known as LOST, or the law of the sea treaty.

President George W. Bush is scheduled to announce any day that he will breathe new life into the old United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which President Ronald Reagan rejected in 1982. Bush’s National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley has asked Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joe Biden (D-DE) to secure Senate ratification “as early as possible.”

______________________

The 202-page Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) entered into force in 1994 and has been ratified by 153 countries. The LOST created the International Seabed Authority (ISA), giving it total jurisdiction over all the oceans and everything in them, including the ocean floor with “all” its riches (”solid, liquid or gaseous mineral resources”), along with the power to regulate seven/tenths of the world’s surface.

Russ is the Poet Laureate at The American Thinker and one of the original founders of Old War Dogs. Bill’s Bites has a good archive of his work so check that out also, you won’t be disappointed.

He’s stayed in touch over the years and proven to be a good friend, I thank him for that. The Poetroopers work will always be welcomed here, and I’ll be creating an archive of his work for Illusion or Reality as time allows.

Down Mexico Way
Contributed by Russ Vaughn

Try crossing our southern border; try going the other way,
To enter Mexico illegally for an extended, unlawful stay.
Ignore immigration quotas, all their visas and their fees,
And quietly slip their border, anytime you damn well please.
Just sneak in past the policía, ignoring Mexican laws;
You’ve a desperate need to improve your lot; you have a righteous cause.
With Evil Bush in power now, destroying your liberal order,
You’ve a right to seek asylum, to trespass their northern border.

Once there, speak English only and demand it in their schools;
Forget assimilation; make Mexicanos change their rules.
What right do these Latinos have to make you learn their lingo?
Tell those churlish campesinos¹ you’ve the right to remain a gringo.
Move right on in, live your own way, ignore their cultural norms,
And demand the use of English on all their official forms.
Free healthcare is, of course, your right; let poor peones² pay,
For bilingual health providers throughout your border-bending stay.

Be sure to have a baby just as quickly as you can;
A citizen in the family helps legitimize your clan.
Then have another three or four, or maybe six or eight;
Don’t worry how you’ll feed them, just demand help from the state.
Paisanos³ paying taxes may resent your reckless breeding,
And protest loudly to their states about your gringo kids they’re feeding;
“But it’s just our way,” is your excuse, “Brought from our Yanquí land.”
How dare they question gringo ways they’ll never understand?

So defend your Anglo ethos; yield not your Yanquí essence;
And demand a driver’s license to legitimize your presence.
Just so you know what you’ve done wrong in case of policía stops,
Insist the Federales must teach English to all cops.
Make Mexicans accept your ways, make them your pliant fools;
Demand a Yanquí culture course be taught in all their schools.
So what you paid no taxes; when you’re an old gringo who will care?
File for your Seguridad Social, after all, you’re due your share.

If all this sounds preposterous, an irrational expectation,
Dems are demanding it for Illegals now in our multicultural nation.

Hat tip to Nuke for bringing this to my attention.

Well folks, it looks like hydrogen as a fuel source could actually be viable after all. Creating it on demand sure as hell does remove the hurdles of storage and transportation now doesn’t it? Hmmm…

Breakthrough Process Generates Hydrogen from Aluminum Alloy

The method makes it unnecessary to store or transport hydrogen - two major challenges in creating a hydrogen economy, said Jerry Woodall, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue who invented the process.

Jerome Corsi had this to say about the SPP flap…..

I had this posted earlier but it disappeared along with a couple of others. I’ll try to fix that problem if I don’t create another one in the process.

It’s common knowledge that a lot of the munitions being used against us in Iraq are coming from Iran. Hell, everybody knows that the shelf life on ordnance requires you to use it and replace it on occasion. And besides, they’re just trying to help out their neighbors in the process.
Pagamas Media posted this video of an interview by Richard Miniter with Major Weber at Camp Victory in Iraq. IRANIAN WEAPONS. AMERICAN LIVES.

Major Weber and I have two things in common.

(1) I had the opportunity to do EOD work on a small scale while serving in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam. My normal day job was breaking rocks with 200-300 hole shots of TNT in a rock quarry and dealing with unexpected crap (getting shot at).

(2) We both still have all of our fingers intact.

These people were very close to me and I don’t plan on forgetting them in the near future. We fought a war together, and due to a bunch of liberal self righteous politicians they suffered the brunt of the storm: we left them to the wolves. I’ll never forget that………..

They were strong at heart, and fighting for their country, I was trying to do that also, but the system just didn’t allow let us do it.

Check out Nuke’s NEWS & VIEWS when you get a chance. Good music and politics is always a winning combination IMO.

Nuke posted this video and I thought I’d pass it along. LINK
