Al Qaeda would welcome Internet takeover by UN
Even as UN delegates meet to take control of the Internet in yet another Rio de Janeiro beach conference Nov. 12-15, Mike Smith, new UN counter-terrorism chief is calling the Internet as it exists: a threat.
In other words, all signs are GO for the UNs' long coveted takeover of the only thing still working, the Worldwide Internet.
If this sounds alarmist, remember that the world's largest bureaucracy is already well on its way to take over Mother Earth's seven seas with only petitions circulating on the Net offering faint hope that Congress will not ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty.

We the people--not just the Americans but free people everywhere--are going to have to rely on memory and imagination for any link to Jesus Christ.
Politically correct minions out there trying to score brownie points with the enemy are trying to force any vestige of the Son of God from the human radar screen.
Just like in the days of the Romans, it is against the law to honour Jesus when world Caesars demand that honour for themselves.
(Editor's note: In a special report today. Sky News singled Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir, who is operating outside of Pakistan in order to send reports out all over the world, including to Canada Free Press (CFP) for his courage. Mir, who predicted the instability headed Pakistan's way through CFP last July, paid a huge price. States Sky News: "The executive editor for Geo TV in Islamabad is Hamid Mir, a well-known and respected journalist in Pakistan, but one who has proved an irritant to the establishment here. The secret intelligence police (ISI) have tried bribing and threatening him in equal measure. Now they are turning to his family.
Have you ever rented the DVD Benji in a desperate attempt to keep your pooch entertained while you were out at the supermarket buying groceries?
Do you worry about Fido who's been home alone all day when the boss tells you that you have to work overtime tonight?
From the first step he took on to the world stage, Lech Walesa was destined to leave an indelible memory.
A walking symbol of the overthrow of the communist regime in Eastern Europe in 1989, Walesa rekindled new hope for the legions shackled by soul-killing communism and with all odds against it ever happening, the terms "Gdansk shipyards" and "Solidarity" became household words.
In a world of too many politically correct inspired revisionists, the lines keep being rewritten. Everything that existed in the past is passe and long held traditions are being tossed into history's dustbin.
Cindy Sheehan and the Code Pink gang must be in raptures. G.I. Joe is on his way out in ever-creative Tinseltown.
The Botox-dependent Hollywood screen writers are now proposing a new live-action movie based on the G.I. toy line. A few martinis later and he's no longer G.I. Joe. The Hollywood version has taken out membership in an "international force based in Brussels", home of the all-glass and all-neutered European Union.
The Gipper must be rolling in his grave: The Jolly Roger-flagged Law of the Sea Treaty is sailing full speed ahead, courtesy of a media encouraged U.S. Senate panel.
Minus political rhetoric, the treaty gives the power-grabbing United Nations complete jurisdiction over God's Seven Seas--70 percent of Mother Earth's surface.
"The treaty also creates an International Seabed Authority with the power to levy a $250,000 tax (application fee) on anyone who wishes to explore the seabed. (Henry Lamb, WorldNetDaily, May 17, 2007). "It would also tax (royalties) everything that might be excavated from the seabed. It requires technology transfer from the nations that have technology to the nations that don't--under the supervision of the UN of course."
...It was four o'clock Saturday morning and Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury couldn't sleep.
It wasn't the patter of the incessant rain hitting the window panes of his hotel room in Washington, D.C., it was more his wanting the new day to start sooner.
Waiting until 6:30 a.m., he called Canada Free Press (CFP) from his ever present cellular.
It's the flicker of hope that comes from seeing a hungry child eating a bowl of soup that keeps Diana Sanchez going on her longest days. It's a never-give-up kind of hope that the soup kettle will be full enough to feed all of the children who find their way to Fundacion Mundial tomorrow, and as on many days as possible after that.
Fundacion Mundial is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that got up and running with the help of hundreds of neighours in April of 2004. Too busy feeding hungry mouths on a daily basis, Sanchez is now counting on Canada Free Press' partners at the Bogota Free Planet to get the word out that it is only the kindness of people that can keep the organization going.
Rumours have been rife in the London Ontario area that a cougar was on the loose. People who fleetingly spotted the cougar were not always believed.
At one stage, rumors of cougars--not just a single one--were so rife that people started to give credence to the urban legend that the government had set the cougars loose to cut down on a burgeoning deer population.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper should send a map of Canada to Foreign Minister Fran-Walter Steinmeier of Germany--tout suite, as they say in La Belle Province.
Predicting a new Cold War, Steinmeier claims that climate change is a growing threat to world peace and has now led to "rival territorial claims in the Arctic."
The German foreign minister has weighed in with concern that a Russian flag was planted on the seabed at the North Pole in August, staking a claim to the area, which may be rich in energy resources.
No matter how icy the winds that will howl into your hometown come winter, there's a lasting warmth to be found in a new book called Shep: Loyalty Beyond All Bounds by Kevin Davis.
The Shep story was 65 years in coming and worth every second of waiting.
Sixty-five years ago in Ft. Benton, Montana a sheepdog named Shep died. But Shep who had wandered into the human heart was never to be forgotten, not even generations later.
In any kind of weather Shep went up to every passenger train that stopped in his hometown--for five and one-half years, where he waited patiently for his beloved master's return.
When Shep died in 1942, the story hit the A.P. It was picked up by the London Daily and the New York Times. At that time, it took on meaning for those who would grieve the departure of their loves ones (those who were bravely departing for WW2) and would wait while hoping and praying for the joyous day of their return.
