The Assembly of First Nations represents all First Nations citizens in Canada. On June 29, 2007, the organization plans a National Day of Action to wake up Canadians to the plight of First Nation citizens in Canada. There are many issues requiring action in Canada, including aboriginal poverty, and equitable resolution of land claims. First Nations citizens want a share in the “good life” in Canada, and want their fair share of the resource wealth related to land which was once their own.

Flying machines in ancient India—myth or reality?

The Vedic literature of India contains many descriptions of flying machines called Vimanas. Scholars have discovered detailed accounts of the construction and operation of several types of civilian and military flying machines. The aircraft used for military purposes employed weapons capable of destroying large concentrations of soldiers on the ground and entire cities, with consequences resembling the use of nuclear weapons. Were these the mere ramblings of imaginative writers, or evidence of ancient advanced technology? Decide for yourself.

John Hogue believes that war with Iran could come as early as this summer. He bases his prediction on the prophecies of Nostradamus. This website contains many of John Hogue’s past writings and predictions about world political events.

Eyes on Darfur: a global satellite neighborhood watch

Amnesty International has established the Eyes on Darfur site for the purpose of enabling people around the world to keep an eye on villages “at risk” in Darfur, an area in the western region of Sudan. Satellite images will reveal to the world any atrocities in progress. Examples of “before” and “after” pictures of burned-out villages testify to past genocidal activity. The hope is that “private citizens, policy makers, and international courts” will join with Amnesty International in an effort to secure international monitoring and intervention in the crisis.
