		<description><![CDATA[Indian Muslims, with support from their brothers in Pakistan started slaughtering Hindus in the state of Kashmir in India]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify">India is a land of ancient culture and civilization. This land is the birth place for the Holy Vedas which are a composition of science, technology, engineering, arts, and everything under the sun. Even the modern day scientists all over the world are surprised by the enormous amount of knowledge the Holy Vedas contain. Modern day India was once called &#8220;Bhaarat&#8221; (Named after King Bharata). Hereafter, the names India and Bhaarat are used interchangeably in this article.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">The historic Bhaarat&#8217;s geographical borders extended till what is today known as Afghanistan. The name of the city Kandahar in Afghanistan is derived from the name &#8220;Gandhara&#8221;, a place mentioned in the ancient history of Bhaarat. With the brutal invasions of the Muhammad of Ghazni and Muhammad of Ghori in the 8th century A.D., the Hindus living in Bharat have been slaughtered and were forced to convert to Islam. Hindu women were raped by the Islamic rulers and all the places of worship have been replaced by mosques. In that way, the &#8220;Gandhara&#8221; state of Bhaarat (Present day Afghanistan) went into the hands of Islamists. Today, we all know how big a menace Afghanistan has become to the entire world. Afghanistan is not only sacred to the Hindus, but also to the Buddhists. In the historic town of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, large statues of The Buddha (The God of Buddhists) have been destroyed by the Islamist extremists in the year 2001.</p>
<div id="attachment_6126" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/800px-Destroyed_Statue_July_17_2005_at_15-53.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6126" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/800px-Destroyed_Statue_July_17_2005_at_15-53-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Buddha statues destroyed by violent extremists</p></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">Now, lets move to the east of Afghanistan and look the history of the current day Pakistan. When India gained independence from British rule in 1947, Mohammad Ali Jinnah started a violent agitation for a separate land for Muslims since they did not want to co-exist with Hindus. Hindus were forced to give in to the demands and thus the present day Pakistan came into existence. Ever since that day, Indian Muslims, with support from their brothers in Pakistan started slaughtering Hindus in the state of Kashmir in India (Which is on the border of India and Pakistan). Lakhs of Kashmiri Hindus were forced to leave their properties and home land due to the fear of violent Islamists. Now, Muslims living in Kashmir are demanding a separate country for themselves since their population is in majority. Today, both Pakistan and Kashmir are the the homes for violent and extremist organizations like Al-Queda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">In the ancient kingdom of Ayodhya, which is the birth place of Lord Sree Ram (A Hindu God), the temple of Sree Ram was demolished by Aurangazeb (An Islamic invader) and a mosque (Babri masjid) was constructed. This mosque was abandoned by Muslims ever since 1934 since it was found that it&#8217;s not auspicious for them. As per Islam, any mosque that is abandoned for a period of time ceases to be a place of worship for the Muslims. In the year 1991, a group of Hindus demolished the mosque to reclaim their right to build the temple of Lord Sree Ram. It was then that all the Muslims got together and started killing Hindus to avenge for the demolition of the Babri Mosque.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">Friends, it is not just India that is facing the problem with violent Islamists. As many of you know, Muslims in Palestine are now all set to take claim over the holy places of Christians and Jews in Israel, and in the recent past, while one set of extremists demolished the WTC in New York, another group of Muslims are now all set to build a mosque at the same location.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">If we carefully observe all the nations where the majority population is Muslims, none of them are peaceful, and none of them respect human rights. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Bosnia, etc,. All these countries along with other countries in the middle-east are directly or indirectly involved in exporting terrorism to all parts of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">All the above mentioned facts lead us to the conclusion that Islam is all about land grabbing and violation of human dignity and values. It&#8217;s now time for all civilized countries and religions all over the world to get together and curb this violent extremism forever. Our countries may have to make economic sacrifices by preparing for a war against violent Islamists so that our next generations will have a better world to live in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">Countries like the US, UK, India, Japan, Israel, Canada, and bodies like NATO, EU should unite against the menace of Jihadi extremism. President JFK once said, &#8220;It is unfortunate that peace can be achieved only by preparing for a war.&#8221; These words are very much true. And if we all have to gift a safer and a peaceful world to our next generations, we all have to make some collective and bold choices. May God bless our world. May God bless us all.</div>

Ironically, most people only read one of those stories and from there either go on to worry or not worry enough.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative0010014.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5969" title="creative001001" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative0010014.gif" alt="" width="249" height="179" /></a>Airport radiation detectors throughout the United States are beginning to detect low levels of radiation from inbound flights from Japan.</p>
<p>It is more than likely that these type of occurrence are being seen across the globe.</p>
<p>The Federal Aviation Administration is coordinating efforts with the Japanese government to minimize the exposure of travelers coming to the United States.</p>
<p>However, with the  current rate  of radiation being released and the possibility of more reactor meltdowns the United States may need to set up mass quarantine facilities at local airports.</p>
<p>It is important to now consider the worst case scenario where thousands of Japanese possibly tens of thousands may end up evacuating to American cities.</p>
<p>To some, this may seem an over kill, but with the uncertainty of the situation on the ground in Japan and with the possibility of the Japanese government not sharing the full extent of the disaster these measures are wise.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/17/science/17plume.html">The United Nations </a>and resources of the United States Navy have documented that radioactive elements from the source of the leak are now circulating over the pacific ocean and the current forecast is that the radioactive plume will be over the State of California by Friday.</p>
<p>Although, it is anticipated that this plume will not become a significant health threat, minor health issues may be documented.</p>
<p>On Monday, Gregory B. Jaczko, the chairman of the  United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission  said  that the plume posed no danger to the United States.</p>
<p>“Unfortunately, the radioactive leaks in Japan are not getting better, but rather steadily worse with the possibly of full reactor melt downs.</p>
<p>Japan has yet to inform the world community of a full reactor meltdown, but with their latest efforts failing to cool the numerous reactors it wouldn&#8217;t be a stretch to say that Japan is hours away from a complete nuclear meltdown on multiple reactors.</p>
<p>This being said, the slight trace amounts of radiation now being detected in airports across the nation and the current radioactive plume heading to the west coast of the United States may only be the beginning of what is to come.</p>
<p>All this being said, few nuclear melt downs occur in the world and the truth is that everyone has an opinion from this expert to that expert.</p>
<p>Reading through the news a reader will find one expert likening this tragedy to Chernobyl, yet another, in the same news stream, to that of the 1979  Three Mile Island incident.  Ironically, most people only read one of those stories and from there either go on to worry or not worry enough.</p>
<p>The one difference between the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island disasters was that they were not preceded by such natural devastation as with with Japans earthquake and tsunami.</p>
<p>This is the one reason why people  need to keep a particular eye on the events.  Japan is truly in a state of desperation, and with resources limited anything can happen.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the world didn&#8217;t step up quickly enough to assist Japan with this overwhelming burden that had been forced upon them: it&#8217;s time to pour resources into this world tragedy.</p>

<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf"></a><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative0010012.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5925" title="creative001001" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative0010012.gif" alt="" width="229" height="253" /></a>The Salvation Army has announced that it has formed a special relief hotline for those  wishing to donate to relief efforts at the site of the Japanese quake  and tsunami. While costs of the disaster so far are in the  multi-billions, the toll on the Japanese economy is ongoing due to  fractures in the nation&#8217;s infrastructure and the ever-present threat of  nuclear meltdown at its reactors, many of which are located near the  regions hardest hit.</p>
<p>Those wishing to help with relief efforts can donate at <a rel="nofollow" href="https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/site/c.tvI3IeNUJsE/b.5760419/k.2CB3/Donate_Now/apps/ka/sd/donor.asp?c=tvI3IeNUJsE&amp;b=5760419&amp;en=5oIzGIMjG4LIKSOmH3KFKPMxEoKRLXOxEdKFLRNAIkLRK1NIG">The Salvation Army&#8217;s special online page</a> designed specifically for the Japanese effort, or by texting the words  &#8216;Japan&#8217; or &#8216;Quake&#8217; at 80888 to make an automatic donation of $10. SA has  also set up <a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.salvationarmyusa.org/?p=5635">a blog page</a> for readers to learn about their ongoing efforts to help those impacted by the quake.</p>
<p>The ongoing threat to Japanese society resulting from the quake and  tsunami cannot be over-emphasized. Today news reports indicate that one  of the nation&#8217;s major nuclear power facilities experienced <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12720219">an explosion resulting in a radiation leakage</a>. Citizens in the area are being evacuated. Although the government maintains the risk from radiation is minimal, residents <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/13/world/asia/13nuclear.html">up to 20 km away are ordered to be evacuated</a>, indicating a much worse scenario than what officials are telling the public.</p>
<p>In addition, in one of the coastal cities hardest hit by the tsunami, nearly <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1365569/Japan-earthquake-tsunami-10-000-people-missing-Minamisanriku.html">10,000 of the area&#8217;s 17,000 residents</a> are missing and feared dead.</p>
<p>50 miles away from the areas hardest hit residents report that they  still have electricity, Internet access, and cell phone service, but  running water is scarce.</p>
<p>Disasters such as these require the action of organizations with wide  experience in providing relief. For nearly 150 years the Salvation Army  has been at the forefront of voluntary faith-based social action on  behalf of the poor, the sick and hungry, and those who are victims of  natural and man-made disasters.</p>
<p>Those wishing to speak to SA representatives concerning donating to relief efforts are urged to call 1-800-SAL-ARMY.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Japan is struggling to contain the crisis: their attempt to pump seawater into the damaged reactors is failing and there are no other viable options at cooling the reactors]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative00100115.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5818" title="creative001001" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/creative00100115.jpg" alt="" width="313" height="180" /></a>After the March 11th 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami Japan has been on an, around the clock, sprint to cool a number of nuclear reactors that have not only lost primary power but also their secondary diesel power units.</p>
<p>This has caused a number of reactor units to begin the process of overheating and for at least one to explode with a plume of unknown debris.</p>
<p>The Japanese Government seems to be handling the nuclear issue alone except for some consultation with a few national agencies.</p>
<p>The United States after getting hammered for not dealing with Haiti&#8217;s disaster, all that well, has sent medical and disaster relief.</p>
<p>However, it has fast become apparent that this is no longer a Japanese problem, but one that can have devastating consequences upon the world.</p>
<p>Tokyo electric Power Co. has finally publicly said that  fuel rods may be melting inside a number  of nuclear reactors.</p>
<p>Local authorities are warning  <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/were-told-not-to-breathe-the-air-ndash-its-scary-2240509.html">people not to breath the air</a>: this is not a good sign.  The first reactor to explode was part of the Fukushima Daiichi plant and their two additional reactors that were on line during the quake  are likely in the process of exploding.</p>
<p>Japan is struggling to  contain the crisis: their attempt to pump seawater into the damaged reactors is failing and there are no other viable options at cooling the reactors.</p>
<p>Japan has finally, asked the United States officially for Help, but with President Obama in the White House will they gain a partner in solving this disaster or a teleprompter.</p>
<p>The President of the United States has become, at late, very indecisive and unpredictable.  Hopefully, with enough pressure the United States will provide the necessary help.</p>
<p>Nobody really knows what will happen,  and at this point all they can do is speculate.  However, Yukio Edano the  Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary suggested that the  fuel rods were melting in all three reactors at Fukushima and he said that  &#8220;Although we cannot directly check it, it&#8217;s highly likely happening,&#8221;.</p>
<p>If  these explosions do occur some speculation has put a radioactive cloud heading to the west coast of the United States.  The Japanese government has been  slow at providing public information on the current levels of radiation released; however, apparently a few hundred civilians are being held for radioactive contamination.</p>
<p>Originally the Japanese government evacuated residents 5 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi plant, then they revised that move to 10 miles.  At present,  all that is known is that 200,000 plus people have been evacuated.  Japan can not do this alone.</p>
<p>In dealing with the earth quake and the tsunami Japan has few resources left to combat the out of control reactor crisis.</p>
<p>The world needs to take action now to assist the nation of Japan and its people before all nations regret their inaction.  We know the Japanese they are, at times, a proud people who don&#8217;t always ask for help when they need it and this is why we need to volunteer that help: now.  Japan is a wonderful country and we owe them our best.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">In the year of our Lord 1794 an avid explorer one Nathanial Maximul Widgwicket was on the second leg of his journey to discover new varieties of primitive man along the coasts of China Malaysia and Borneo.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It happened that a great storm arose on the 17th of April that lasted for two days.  Unfortunate, for Mr. Widgwicket his once very sea worthy English corvette now found herself at the mercy of the sea.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Terribly true was it, that such a streamlined vessel would be found a heap of tangled beam and splinter on some unrecognizable island somewhere between Vietnam and Borneo.  Upon gathering what belongings he had, Mr. Widgwicket and the two remaining crew members considered   		their fate.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Upon the second night from the tragedy a strange figure entered the camp of Mr. Widgwicket.  This man or beast walked as a man but it also had what appeared to be a tail.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This was so very alarming that Mr. Widgwicket and the crew were unable to focus on an action and stood in a frozen silence while the figure moved closer.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As the light from the camp fire began to expose more and more of this mysterious figure it became apparent that what stood before Mr. Widgwicket was not a man, but an beast that bore the resemblance of both an Australian Shepard and so very strangely a LIZARD.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Just then as if from a dream this figure spoke with a rough yet wind chimed voice and asked if assistance was needed.  All, were shocked and speechless.  Monuments passed and Mr. Widgwicket said &#8220;We are fine but in need of food&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">These were the only accounts released by Mr. Widgwicket as until his later years he never spoke of his mysterious adventure.  No one even today can say where Mr. Widgwicket died.  We do know however that the term Lizarddawg was given to those beasts living on the unknown Island; where   		ever it may be.<a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/PIC_011003_1409.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1307" title="PIC_011003_1409" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/PIC_011003_1409.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="112" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Lizarddawg as a name was taken out of a respect for Mr. Widgwicket and what his life stood for Peace, Perseverance,   		Integrity and Loyalty.    His dedication to the safeguarding of the Lizarddawg Lands has kept them safe until today.    		Lizarddawg would wish you all well.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Hillaryone.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-880" title="Clinton 2008 Iowa" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Hillaryone-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Recently, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced her displeasure with some nations in the world, namely China, for their inability to crack down on cyber intrusions and their growing curbs of Internet freedom.</p>
<p>Although they&#8217;re are two separate issues here, she decided to join them, for what ever reason.  &#8220;We stand for a single Internet where all of humanity has equal access to knowledge and ideas,&#8221;  said Clinton ignoring the fact that all nations have their own cultures and values to protect.</p>
<p>Such a ignorant and un-prepared statement should most certainly not  come from such a high level U.S. dignitary.</p>
<p>Sadly, she went on, almost as if on script.  Her haphazard comments ignoring those who would seek to protect their cultures from the on-slot of pornography and predatory Internet practices all suggested a reminiscent behavior of those who instituted the Iron Curtain: she even made reference to the Berlin wall.</p>
<p>For Secretary Clinton to suggest to the American people that something is wrong with China for not fully opening its population to the ills of the West only shows how irresponsible her ideas are.</p>
<p>Instead, she should embrace how China protects it&#8217;s people from both physical and societal dangers, steming from the internet, that have been so often observed as harmful to a healthy society.  Some Americans may find this an unusual stance especially with China&#8217;s history of violence, overt spying and so many other infractions.  Yet the truth is, China does get some things right.</p>
<p>Secretary Clinton, as well as her lack luster leader President Obama certainly must get it through their narrow Liberal elitist minds that many people do not want pornography so easily accessible in their cultures nor other significant cultural taboos.</p>
<p>It would be in Google&#8217;s best interest to understand this as well.  Sadly, I though this was all part of &#8220;How to function in another country 101&#8243;.</p>
<p>Regarding the ciber attacks on Google which are a separate issue, China does have a duty to assist with active counter measures.  Sadly from their history they may be the ones directly involved.</p>
<p>The relationship with China and Google has always been shaky at best.  Google is seen by many nations,  as much too powerful and by communist leaders  possibly an extended hand of western power.  Therefore, if Google wants to function in China they need to respect both their current culture and their laws regardless of restrictions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/images.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-578" title="images" src="http://www.stumpreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/images.jpeg" alt="" width="128" height="64" /></a>The US and Europe are either just jealous of China&#8217;s new found title of world&#8217;s biggest exporter or really getting upset that China keeps undervaluing their currency in order to remain economically competitive.  All arguments we have heard before, no doubt we will hear them again.</p>
<p>It seems China does as it pleases and Europe as expected doesn&#8217;t have the nerve to act with any resolve, but for the United States to continually show a weakened posture is a sad picture.  Will anyone every muster the nerve to be the first too imposed tariffs on China&#8217;s misuse of their currency during this global recession?   What is wrong with a bit of protectionism in the United States any way, shutting off the import spicket from China wouldn&#8217;t be all that bad besides we need some job growth.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter is that the world is seeking a leader to handle the Chinese issue.  This usually means the President of the United States, but our current Administration as well as his predecessor have had nothing but concessions to offer the Chinese.  So, where does this leave the U.S. and Europe regarding their concerns about China: right back where they started.  Neither nation has the will to confront China and China knows this and will with a smugness continue their daily business of making money.</p>
