Axekick's Blog

 

One thing that stands out on these blogs when it comes to politics is how many people believe the president has no power over congress when that congress is of an opposing party, thus the cry is its all congresses fault when things go bad.

Nothing can be further from the truth article I, Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to veto any bill passed by congress, the President of the United States of America has the power of the veto, which means he can stop legislation from becoming law. The president's veto power is just one of the many separations of power, or "checks and balances" of the United States government.  

The veto power has two functions, a) preserving the exe­cutive as a power separate from the legislature, and b) providing the citizens with a defense against pressure groups in the legis­lature. This second function, which has been expanded, effectively sets the President up as the third house of the legislature.

By giving the President Veto power, he is given the means with which to defend himself and his office from being reduced to a pawn of the legislature veto powers provide the citizens with a defense against special interests if used properly.

In fact two types of veto exist. The first is the regular veto in power, through which the president returns the legislation to the Congress unsigned, usually with a message setting out reasons for this action. The second is a quieter, more discreet form of the veto known as the "Pocket Veto," in which the president fails to sign a bill within the ten days allowed by the Constitution before Congress adjourns. This pocket veto generally attracts less publicity, in part because it does not need to be accompanied by a message from the president giving reasons for the veto.

The power of the regular veto results from the considerable difficulty of overriding it. It is not easy to assemble a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate on a contentious issue. Most vetoes are successful, much is made of the fact that Reagan had to deal with a democratic congress yet of the seventy-eight vetoes cast by President Reagan, only nine were overridden. Clinton had to deal with six years of a republican congress of the seventeen vetoes he cast, and only one was overridden.

This is why I’m so critical of G W Bush he had six years of control of both the senate and House of Representatives from 2000 to 2006 yet we are supposed to believe that the minority in congress was able to stop all his plans it just doesn’t work like that!

Ronald Reagan            78 vetoes        9 overridden

Gerald Ford                 66 vetoes      12 overridden

George H. W. Bush     46 vetoes        1 overridden

Jimmy Carter               31 vetoes        2 overridden  

Bill Clinton                  17 vetoes        2 overridden  

Franklin D. Roosevelt   635 vetoes      9 overridden

George W Bush           12 vetoes        4 overridden  

What this shows is that in nearly 8 years in office GW Bush only disagreed with congress 12 times and you want to blame congress for the economic mess we are now in?

 Many comments are of the nature that if only 12 more democrats would have voted with the republicans Bush could have stopped the mortgage loan fiasco but what about the majority of republicans Bush had the numbers to do the right thing he just wasn’t willing!!!!!!!!!!

In the African-American community, the thinking on Obama's candidacy has gone something like this: In the beginning, there was disbelief that a black man could become president. Then, when Obama became the Democratic nominee and soared in the polls, listeners were concerned for his safety. Now that the race with John McCain is as tight as Sarah Palin's smile, Baisden's audience has started to worry about Election Day itself. There is still a fair amount of optimism in the black community, but it's being tempered by two words: what if. What if Obama loses? How should people respond? What should they feel? It's a common election-season concern, but it's all the more acute in the African-American community, where more people are paying attention to the campaign—and planning to vote—than ever. Managing expectations and reactions has become Topic A in many black homes and on blogs such as Bossip, Stereohyped and Angry Black Male. "People that I know that have never cared about politics are registering to vote this time: gang members, ex-cons, you name it," says rapper Snoop Dogg. "I hate to see a lot of that hope go down the drain, and if he loses, it will."

 

Racism, naturally, plays a part in the conversation. "I've never forgotten that he is a smart, articulate black man with a smart, articulate black wife," says Linda Wright, 34, a nurse's assistant from Houston. "You think white people were just going to turn over the keys to the most important job in the land without a fight?" The overriding feeling is apprehension, a vague fear of losing something people thought was theirs to keep. "My kids love Obama and they think it's so obvious he should be the president," says actor D. L. Hughley. "I was just honest in saying life isn't always fair and certainly isn't always fair for African-Americans. But Obama has overcome so many obstacles, it's easy to forget reality."

 

 

Poll: Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama

 

By RON FOURNIER and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks — many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles.

 

The poll, conducted with Stanford University, suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 — about two and one-half percentage points.

 

Certainly, Republican John McCain has his own obstacles: He's an ally of an unpopular president and would be the nation's oldest first-term president. But Obama faces this: 40 percent of all white Americans hold at least a partly negative view toward blacks, and that includes many Democrats and independents.

 

More than a third of all white Democrats and independents — voters Obama can't win the White House without — agreed with at least one negative adjective about blacks, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for Obama than those who don't have such views.

 

Such numbers are a harsh dose of reality in a campaign for the history books. Obama, the first black candidate with a serious shot at the presidency, accepted the Democratic nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, a seminal moment for a nation that enshrined slavery in its Constitution.

 

"There are a lot fewer bigots than there were 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean there's only a few bigots," said Stanford political scientist Paul Sniderman who helped analyze the exhaustive survey

 

 

In the recent words of Alan Greenspan “in the grand scheme of finance there will be winners and losers and the government should not bail out the loser”.

 

 

 

This from a man who along with the help of Ronald Reagan, G HW Bush, Bill Clinton, and G W Bush dug this hole which we now see. The starting point being the hype of supply side economics. Few people may remember that when Ronald Reagan took office, the federal budget was only $678 billion. During his 8-year tenure, the budget grew by 69% — on its way to today's $2.3 trillion budget.

 

The annual average increase in government during Reagan's administration was 6.8%, compared with "big government" Bill Clinton's average annual increase of 3.6%.

 

Reagan promised to balance the budget within his first term. Instead, the annual deficit rose from $79 billion to $212 billion in that first term — and the Reagan years added $1.9 trillion to the federal debt.

 

Reagan is known as a tax-cutter, and the term "Reaganomics" implies dramatic cuts in tax rates. But after pushing through a tax cut to be implemented over three years, he cooperated during the second year in the largest tax increase in American history up to that time. The nation's annual tax load increased by 65% during his time in office.

Conservatives like to blame the increase in government on the Democratic Congress. But Presidents have the power of veto. Pens are cheap. A President can sign thousands of vetoes. Unless his opposition can muster a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress, nothing can be forced on him. The determining factor is whether the President has the will to reduce government. If he does, no one can stop him

 

Companies go bankrupt daily and you can not blame the government for the down fall of Lehman even if you think you could blame big government it would seem to me that a company that had been in business for over 158 years would have known better. Our current president has a history of bankrupting companies so I’m not surprised this happen on his watch.

In closing I know the latest trend by conservatives is to claim that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans and that George was not really a conservative to this I say bull shyt!

 

 

 

In the 158 years Lehman was in business lookup how much they invested in America hmmmmmmmm maybe Europe will bail their arse out!

 

 

 

 

WASHINGTON – An overwhelming advantage in experience and lopsided support from working-class and suburban whites have lifted Republican John McCain to a slender lead over Barack Obama less than two months from Election Day, a poll on the presidential race said Friday.

The Arizona senator has a 13-percentage-point lead over his Democratic rival both with men and senior citizens, and a 23-point advantage among rural residents, according to the Associated Press-GfK Poll of likely voters. He's also doing better than Obama at consolidating support from party loyalists: 94 percent of Republicans back McCain, while 83 percent of Democrats prefer the Illinois senator.

Well I see the annoying ads have started with there play on words. Quick question by saying a statement is inaccurate does that means it’s not the truth or some of it is not the truth because if it were false couldn't the ad just say it’s a lie?

 

Bottom line many had their minds made up before a candidate was ever mentioned so what it boils down too is this, if you have been satisfied with the course this country has taken for the last eight years and if you can honestly say that 20 of the last 28 years that the republicans have controlled the white house have benefited this country then by all means vote for McCain.

 

Ps.  If the only response you can come up with is we really don't have a choice please don't even dazzle us with your wisdom on this post just keep it moving!

 

 

 

ST. PAUL (Reuters) - The Log Cabin Republicans endorsed Arizona Sen. John McCain's bid for the presidency on Tuesday, four years after the gay Republican group refused to back President George W. Bush's bid for reelection. The endorsement may boost McCain's reputation as a maverick who reaches across partisan lines, but it may not go down well with his party's conservative Christian base.

 

"Sen. McCain is no George Bush when it comes to gay issues. We are much more optimistic and enthusiastic about Sen. McCain," Patrick Sammon, the group's president, told Reuters.

 

The 20,000-member group backed Bush in 2000, but did not endorse him in 2004 when the Republican Party used opposition to gay marriage as a "wedge" issue to galvanize evangelical Christian voters.

 

But the group appreciates McCain's opposition to a failed attempt to enact a federal ban on gay marriage -- a position that angered many conservative evangelical leaders.

 

"Sen. McCain stood with us. Now we stand with him ... Sen. McCain showed courage by bucking his own party's leadership and the president -- twice voting against the amendment," the Log Cabin Republicans said.

 

The group said it would take a "wait and see approach" regarding McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate.

 

"We have a wait and see approach with Gov. Palin about her views on gay issues," Sammon said.

 

Jimmy LaSalvia, the group's director of programs and policy, said there were encouraging signs.

 

"We don't know that much about her ... In her public statements she has said that she has gay friends and that she doesn't judge," he said.

 

Now my intentions here are not to step on anyone’s feelings but to share something about this website that would make it better. First off I like this website that’s why I continue to come here for over a year but this website needs a more frequent maintenance plan. It is very slow and has a lot of files that need to be archived or down right deleted also Roy’s folks should have its own folder and not be included in the news section don’t get me wrong I like Roy’s folk’s but it has so many graphics to load it slows down page loading. You have numerous double posts because your site is blogged down trying to load things that should be deleted, many folks think their posts didn’t go through and post again when the real reason is there is so much clutter on the site their original post was still trying to load. Now in fairness this site gets a huge amount of traffic and I don’t know if you have a dedicated admin or not but there are things that can be done to make this site more efficient, I have access to numerous networks some with dedicated servers so I have ruled out my broadband access. One thing I have noticed is that the religious page gets very little clean up I have pages a year old I can’t delete because it is still featured on your site even though they have had little interaction. To start with pages like these can be deleted. Some pages error out because of the clutter the entertainment section especially. Let me end by saying again I like the site and you may well be very busy and can’t maintain the site as well as you would like, but it is becoming annoying just to visit these boards.

ST. PAUL - The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child. Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.

White Americans no longer a majority by 2042

 

Immigration, higher birth rates among minorities to speed up diversity

 

 

updated 7:23 p.m. CT, Wed., Aug. 13, 2008

 

WASHINGTON - White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2042, according to new government projections. That's eight years sooner than previous estimates, made in 2004.

 

The nation has been growing more diverse for decades, but the process has sped up through immigration and higher birth rates among minority residents, especially Hispanics.

 

 

Iraq Banks Billions in Surpluses

Iraq's oil income will more than double this year, even as Baghdad continues to spend only a small percentage of its own money on reconstruction and services while it banks billions in surplus funds, according to projections by U.S. government auditors.

 

Between 2005 and 2007, only 10 percent of Iraq's expenditures went toward reconstruction, with just 1 percent spent on maintaining U.S. and Iraqi-funded investments in roads, water, electricity and weapons, according to a report released yesterday by the Government Accountability Office. Even when Baghdad has allocated larger sums, the report said, it has spent only a small portion of the budgeted money.

 

Those trends, which the report said have continued during the first half of this year, are likely to fuel further congressional discontent over ongoing U.S. payments to rebuild Iraq. "It is inexcusable for U.S. taxpayers to continue to foot the bill for projects the Iraqis are fully capable of funding themselves," Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) said in a statement yesterday.

 

"We should not be paying for Iraqi projects, while Iraqi oil revenues continue to pile up in the bank, including outrageous profits from $4 a gallon gas prices in the U.S.," said Levin, who requested the GAO investigation along with Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.).

 

 

BAGHDAD - It is a politician's dream: Handing out cold, hard cash to people on the street as they plead for help. Iraq's prime minister has been doing just that in recent weeks, doling out Iraqi dinars as an aide trails behind, keeping a tally. The handouts by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and a handful of other top officials are authorized — as long as each goes no higher than about $8,000, and the same people don't get them twice. Aides say they are meant merely to ease the pain a bit, and are motivated by a belief that better conditions will lead to more security.

 

 

The cash handouts are just one small — if eye-catching — part of a major investment push this summer by Iraq's government. The aim is to rebuild basic services and jumpstart Iraq's damaged economy by quickly distributing as much of the country's glut of oil revenue as possible.

 

 

U.S. officials and a fed-up American public are urging exactly that — for Iraq to spend its own money, not America's, to rebuild the country now that violence has eased.

 

 

Yet the new Iraqi effort runs a high risk of failure: The government is disorganized, fears of favoritism remain and the shadow of corruption haunts every step.

 

 

"Money is not a problem," al-Maliki told a recent gathering of tribal chiefs in the southern city of Basra, after government forces had defeated Shiite extremists there. "But we must put it in honest hands to spend."

 

 

Despite such problems, Iraq's oil revenues, an estimated $70 billion this year, still provide the best chance of leveraging the country's fragile period of calm into something more lasting, many officials say.

 

 

Top U.S. commander Gen. David Petraeus has repeatedly called money a crucial weapon to lure neighborhoods from extremists and stabilize Iraq. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, urged the government to pass out money even faster this week on a trip to devastated Mosul in the north.

 

 

The United States has been doling out cash itself, most effectively to former Sunni militants who switched sides to fight al-Qaida. The military has also provided money and assistance to projects like fixing damaged roads in the Shiite enclave of Sadr City after battles there.

 

 

Yet most recent big spending announcements have been Iraqi: $100 million to rebuild Sadr City; another $100 million to the Shiite city of Basra after fighting there; $100 million for another southern Shiite town, Amarah; and $83 million to help internal refugees return home.

 

 

It's unclear how fast the project money will actually get out. Past U.S. surveys have found Iraqi officials actually spent only tiny portions of the money they had allocated, often because of disorganization in government offices or a lack of technical know-how.

 

 

Also, discrepancies feed fears of favoritism. One violence-battered and needy northern province, Ninevah, which is mostly Sunni and Kurdish, has received only 20 percent of what the central government has promised, U.S. officials said this week.

 

 

Many of the provinces where al-Maliki, a Shiite, has recently pledged money are Shiite.

 

 

Yet there are signs of small improvement, other officials say. First Lt. Paul Horton, an assistant civil military operations officer in Diyala, a mixed area north of Baghdad, sees it in efforts to get government money to local farmers suffering from drought.

 

 

"We're starting to get a lot more attention and a lot more love," he said.

 

 

As for al-Maliki, Arab leaders have long used personal handouts to also gain political loyalty.

 

 

Most of the grants the prime minister gives out are only $200 to $400 to help those needing medical care, widows or people without jobs. On one recent visit to the riverside Abu Nawas park in Baghdad, he gave a group of boys each the equivalent of $40 in dinars to buy soccer balls. The biggest grants require documentation like letters from a hospital, his aides say.

 

 

On a trip last month to Amarah, an Associated Press reporter saw the prime minister approached by several supplicants during a meeting he was chairing of tribal sheiks. An aide from al-Maliki's office handed out cash at his direction, making each beneficiary sign a receipt.

 

 

Asked the reason for such handouts, a senior adviser to the prime minister, Sadiq al-Rikabi, said: "Citizens must realize that security is not just making the law prevail ... Reconstruction and jobs are a big part of it

So I'm reading the New York Times Magazine piece on Rush Limbaugh and trying to figure out what's the difference between Limbaugh and the stereotypical professional athlete.

 

It was quite a struggle.

 

• Overpaid? Absolutely. The remarkably talented radio gabber just received a new contract that will pay him $38 million a year and includes a $100 million signing bonus. It's a $400 million deal that makes Alex Rodriquez feel underpaid.

   

• Sexually vain? Of course. Limbaugh, 57, is dating a 31-year-old blonde party planner, Kathryn Rogers, who is a treat to admire. At first glance, she could pass for the little sister of Roger Clemens' HGH-enhanced wife.

   

• Uninterested in formal education? You bet. Limbaugh hated school, was solely interested in radio as a teenager and declared for professional broadcasting after one half-hearted year of college. Yep, Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley are just as educated as the leader of the right-wing moral majority.

   

• In love with material possessions? Without question. Limbaugh's fleet of Maybachs could serve as a limo service for rap stars vacationing in Florida, Rush's home state. The writer of the Times Magazine profile stated that Limbaugh's Palm Beach estate, which features five different homes, screamed "Look what I have."

   

• Insecure and starving affirmation? Yes, sir. When the writer brought up Rush's right-wing teammate, Sean Hannity, the heir to Rush's throne, Limbaugh stopped just short of rapping, "How does my a** taste?"

   

• Resilient? Check. Limbaugh's battle with chemical dependency isn't as heart-wrenching as Josh Hamilton's, but I'd put it on par with Doc Gooden's. And Limbaugh's illegal method of obtaining pain killers could easily be spun into a dope-dealing ghetto tale if Mitch Albom needed another award-winning column.

   

Don't get it twisted. I'm not some rabid Limbaugh hater. The man is an exquisite broadcaster and entertainer, arguably the best of all time. And I don't view Limbaugh as some sort of flaming bigot or sexist. He's a comedian. No different than Dave Chappelle or Richard Pryor.

 

Limbaugh's short stint as an NFL broadcaster on ESPN didn't expose him as a racist. His comments about Donovan McNabb exposed Limbaugh as completely overmatched talking sports. He couldn't translate his outspoken, provocative views on race to the sports world.

 

No, what has always fascinated me about Limbaugh is the way his followers view him — beacon of American virtue and victim.

 

I wonder how America's Dittoheads perceive, for instance, Barry Bonds, the Rush Limbaugh of baseball. And please, do not focus in on Bonds. He is not the point of this column. I simply used him as an example because of his unmatched talent and the fact that he can't find a baseball job due to a rather large bat-swing conspiracy.

 

Now, Barry is no beacon of virtue or victim. Neither is Rush.

 

He's the typical American man who followed his dream, worked extremely hard, caught the right breaks and achieved great fame and financial success. And, just like everyone else, Limbaugh's flaws were accentuated by fame and fortune.

 

Unlike professional sports, we were not privy to the contract haggling. We have no idea if Limbaugh took his shirt off and did sit-ups in his driveway. Columnists and radio talk-show hosts did not pontificate on Limbaugh's level of greed. Callers did not flood talk shows complaining that it's ridiculous to pay a broadcaster $400 million.

 

Rush Limbaugh will never go across the middle and face Ray Lewis. Limbaugh's most difficult opponent is pillowy-soft Al Sharpton. I'd rather confront Shallow Al than Ray Ray.

 

It infuriates me when I hear someone argue that athletes are overpaid. Compared to what other profession? Teachers? Yes. Entertainers? Hell no.

 

It also infuriates me when someone states that white men such as Limbaugh and Imus pay a terrible price for discussing race in politically incorrect fashion. What a joke. They're paid handsomely to talk about race in a controversial way.

 

Limbaugh has more in common with Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriquez, Shaquille O'Neal, Terrell Owens, Dave Chappelle, Al Sharpton and yours truly than he does with his 20 million Dittoheads.

 

 

  Saudi Arabia plans to increase its oil production by 200,000 barrels a day next month, the kingdom's oil minister told U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon on Sunday, according to Ban's spokesman. Saudi Arabia is concerned that sustained high oil prices will eventually slacken the world's appetite for oil, affecting the kingdom in the long run. 

  

Now there is a blogger in this community that claims I’m ignorant and lack knowledge of economics because I asked the question why wasn’t President Bush and the republican congress not able to pass legistration to drill in new areas and build new refineries during their 6 years of an majority in the house and senate, I pointed to big oil lobbyist that spend huge amounts of money to influence votes on capital hill. Now the Saudi’s who refused to increase production when our president begged them to in his visit, now realize that the increasing cost of fuel could put alternative sources of energy on the fast track therefore they will now increase production because they see that a world not dependant on oil will hurt them financially, and their mindset is no different than big oil that realizes that the development of alternative sources of energy would put them out of business. But I think it is too late we will never see two dollar a gallon gas again and the big money will continue to run the free market and suppress alternative options, infact if we where to drill in ANWSR and build new refineries we would only sell that oil to china and India because of GREED so it’s damn if I do and damned if I don’t!

A long time ago, a man was born of a virgin in the likeness of God. After spreading messages of love and peace in his early life, he was betrayed by his friends and slain on a slab of wood. He was then resurrected on Earth before returning to heaven.

The man’s name isn’t Jesus. It’s Osiris, the god-man of ancient Egypt.

Didn’t hear this in Bible study? No wonder; Osiris is thought to have lived a good 2,500 years before Jesus’ birth. Although the significance of Osiris, who was considered “god of the dead,” paled in comparison to that of Christ’s, the two men’s stories are strikingly similar.

It’s not by accident, said Lisa Ann Bargeman, author of a new book, “The Egyptian Origins of Christianity.”

Bargeman asserts that many Christian rituals and beliefs, specifically Roman Catholic ones, may have come from ancient Egyptian tradition. Her book juxtaposes the Bible with the Egyptian sacred text, The Book of the Dead, using specific themes and ceremonial practices to argue that Christianity directly evolved from the Egyptians.

One telling piece of evidence, Bargeman says, is the Christian use of the word “Amen,” which is a derivative of Amon, the Egyptian god of reproduction and life.

“For literally an eternity, human beings have been addressing their gods in the same way.”

Although others, most notably the religious scholar and theological historian Martin A. Larson, have made the same connection between Christianity and ancient Egyptian myths, most Christians are unaware of the similarities. While there are many clues to suggest Christianity’s roots can be traced to Greek, or Hellenic times, which began about 300 years before Christ’s birth during the development of Judaism, stories about Egyptian influences and other perceived “pagan” legends make some Christians uneasy.

“The reason for such denial is that Christianity is always presented as the only true religion, the only way to salvation, and as such, it could not have borrowed anything from a religion they have dubbed heathen or pagan,” Harrison Ola Akingbade, an Anglican Christian himself, wrote in the foreword of Bargeman’s book.

Bargeman first recognized the correlation between Christendom and Egyptian history when she heard a college professor suggest that Christianity was rooted in a ritual more ancient than popular culture believed. The story of Adam and Eve’s fall from grace, for example, has correlations to the Egyptian legend of Re and Sekhmet, another couple prideful in the face of God who punished them for their sins.

Other links between Egyptian religious practice and Christianity include the Trinity. When Christians say “In the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” they mean, according to Bargeman, “in the name of Khnum-Atum/Aten-Re-Ptah, Osiris-Horus, and of Min/Amen.”

Not quite as catchy, but the ancient Egyptian gods assumed the same identities — father, son and spirit — that Christians worship.

The Kemetic Civilization was the first and remains the most prosperous civilization in history and the present.  Preserving the Earth for over 140,000 years, it provided the origins and humanity's most advanced forms of astronomy, time division, mathematics, geometry, geomancy, medicine, architecture, etc.  Most importantly It also provided humanity with the original and most advanced spiritual system. 

The Kemetic Spiritual System is the basis of all indigenous spiritual systems around the world and all of the world's deities can be found within the original Kemetic Spiritual System.  The Kemetic Spiritual System has still survived intact and authenticity to the modern day, preserved by the elders of the traditional priesthood from the initiation system of the Niger Valley.  These priests, after their ancestors were ordered by the Pharaoh to relocate from the Nile Valley to escape the invasions of the Hyksos, Persian and Greek/Roman empires watched as the descendants of these invaders achieved political power and have used it to destroy the Earth and human values for the past 2,000 years.
