his CIA bimbo wife Valerie Plame with their phony scandal trying to get Karl Rove. By now, however, you may have heard that Niger faces famine after a prolonged drought and a locust plague of biblical proportions. In January 2003, I led a Trans-Sahara expedition across the entire length of Niger. I found it to be one of our world’s special places, of achingly lonely beauty, of fascinating and friendly peoples, and mysterious lost cities, hidden oases, and camel salt caravans. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/beauty-mystery-and-starvation-in-the-sahara/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-168" class="art-post art-article post-168 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/how-to-dual-boot-xp-and-linux-on-the-same-hard-disk/" rel="bookmark" title="HOW TO DUAL BOOT XP AND LINUX ON THE SAME HARD DISK">HOW TO DUAL BOOT XP AND LINUX ON THE SAME HARD DISK</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:01 am">August 4, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/ets/" title="View all posts by ttpn">ttpn</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p>This step by step guide is meant to show you how to install Linux (Fedora Core 2) on one hard drive, on top of an existing Windows machine, and using native boot loaders for each OS (i.e. the ntloader for Windows), grub for booting Linux.

Yes, the year looks likely to see the most exciting presidential race in US history, one between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Condoleeza Rice, which Condi will win. (You can get a “Rice2008” bumper sticker at <a href="http://www.rice2008.com/" target="_blank">Rice2008</a> or T-shirt at <a href="http://www.americansforrice.com/Apparel.htm" target="_blank"> AmericansForRice </a>)And yes, the race will electrify the world and gain its rapt attention. Somehow, however, lots of folks in other places will also focus on events of far more personal importance to them - particularly in China and Taiwan. 2008 is the year of Communist China’s coming-out party, when it hosts the Beijing Olympics. The Chicoms intend to use the 2008 Beijing Olympics as did the Nazis in the 1936 Berlin Olympics - as a glorification of their rule and a demand that the world provide it with the prestige it so desperately craves.2008 is also the year of the next presidential election in Taiwan. After two terms, President Chen Shui-bian cannot run for re-election. How those contending to succeed him will conduct their campaigns may determine the survival of Taiwan - and of China. One campaign may prove critical, that of current Taiwan Prime Minister Frank Hsieh.</p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/why-china-needs-taiwan-to-survive/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1223" class="art-post art-article post-1223 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-c90-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/al-qaedas-quagmire/" rel="bookmark" title="AL QAEDA’S QUAGMIRE">AL QAEDA’S QUAGMIRE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:01 am">July 29, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/guest/" title="View all posts by Guest Author">Guest Author</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p>A private Israeli intelligence service reports that Al Qaeda is shifting more than 1,000 of its operatives from Iraq for terror offensives in Europe and elsewhere in the Middle East.The countries it named as targeted were Britain, Italy, France, Denmark, Russia -- with the UK and Italy at the top of the list; and in the Middle East, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Her life sounds like a fairy tale, but it’s history, it actually happened. Her name was Malinali. </i>The Jade Steps<i> has a two-fold purpose. The first is to tell Malinali’s story, as fascinating as it is unknown. The second is to bring peace to the civil war raging in the soul of Mexico.

Osama bin Laden may still provide the ideology, but the locals do their own planning and operations. Thus, the Washington Post found that the expert consensus on the London attacks was that, yes, these people might be linked to al Qaeda in a broad, political/religious/ideological way, but the operation itself, like many in the recent past (Madrid or London, for example), was a local product.The insistence that “Al Qaeda” — defined as the main enemy — is highly decentralized has a lethal effect on designing an effective antiterrorist policy, for it reinforces the strategic paralysis that currently afflicts this administration. If we conceive the war against the terrorists as a long series of discrete engagements against separate groups in many countries, we will likely fail, beginning with Iraq.</p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/coalition-of-evil/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-681" class="art-post art-article post-681 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/roscoe-and-roberts/" rel="bookmark" title="ROSCOE AND ROBERTS">ROSCOE AND ROBERTS</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:01 am">July 28, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p>Silent screams. Night sweats. Quiet desperation. The whispered dread of impending doom. Liberals are suffering all of these anxieties over soon-to-be Justice John Roberts - at least the smart ones are who know the stakes. Those stakes go far beyond Roe v. Wade. Smart liberals know the entire gigantic edifice of Federal bureaucratic control over our lives, which they have been painstakingly building since the 1930s, has as its foundation one thin reed of six Constitutional words tortured beyond recognition. Invest those words with normal recognizable meaning, and thousands of Federal laws and regulations are defunct. This is the conservatives’ and the libertarians’ dream, and the liberals’ nightmare. What keeps making the liberals sit bolt upright in bed is knowing there is nothing they can do to prevent their nightmare from coming true. To understand why, we need to talk about a farmer named Roscoe Filburn from Montgomery County, Ohio, who grew 23 acres of wheat back in the 1930s. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/roscoe-and-roberts/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-486" class="art-post art-article post-486 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/tiny-zibb-update/" rel="bookmark" title="TINY ZIBB UPDATE">TINY ZIBB UPDATE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:01 am">July 28, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><p>Not quite two years ago, in <a href="index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1371&Itemid=2" target="_blank">Terrorism and Tiny Zibbs</a>, I discussed why one of the principal causes of Moslem terrorism is that so many Moslem men are afraid of women. This was made quite evident in a London Daily Telegraph poll of British Moslems conducted last week that stunned the British. 24% of British Moslems, it turns out, are sympathetic with the feelings and motives of the suicide bombers attacking London, and almost one-third believe that: “Western society is decadent and immoral and that Moslems should seek to bring it to an end.” The outrage this provoked caused most folks to overlook the poll’s internals, which showed that the great majority of those alienated British Moslems are men. Very few British Moslem women want to bring Western society to an end, for that society respects them as full human beings and gives them freedom to act as such. So all this soul-searching navel-gazing blather in the British liberal press agonizing over the failure of British society to cure Moslem alienation utterly misses the point - as liberals almost unfailingly do. The fault, the blame, the cause of Moslem terrorism, hatred, and alienation lie not with us in the West, but with the cultural defects of Moslems themselves - and specifically of Moslem men. </p></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/tiny-zibb-update/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-485" class="art-post art-article post-485 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/d3-terrorists/" rel="bookmark" title="D3 TERRORISTS">D3 TERRORISTS</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="1:01 am">July 28, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p>Let’s say a young white fellow is caught entering a New York subway station by a watchful policeman, who discovers 50 pounds of high explosives in his backpack.

The bad news, of course, is that the attacks took place. The good news is that they were so clumsily executed. The attacks mirrored those of July 7th. Now as then, three subway trains and a bus were targeted. NBC has reported the Brits have told American authorities that both the backpacks used in Thursday's attacks and the (homemade) explosives in the backpacks were identical to those of July 7th. What was different is that this time only the detonators went off. Just one person -- apparently one of the bombers -- was injured in Thursday's attacks. The fact of the attack, coupled with its ineffectiveness, is more likely to infuriate than to intimidate the British. When an attack inspires more contempt than terror, the terrorists are in trouble. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-al-qaeda-fizzle/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <div class="art-pager"><a class="prev page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/931/?Itemid=2&id=6189">« Previous</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/1/?Itemid=2&id=6189">1</a> <span class="page-numbers dots more">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/930/?Itemid=2&id=6189">930</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/931/?Itemid=2&id=6189">931</a> <span aria-current active="page" class="page-numbers current active">932</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/933/?Itemid=2&id=6189">933</a> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/934/?Itemid=2&id=6189">934</a> <span class="page-numbers dots more">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/983/?Itemid=2&id=6189">983</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/page/933/?Itemid=2&id=6189">Next »</a></div> </div> <div class="art-layout-cell art-sidebar2"><div id="nav_menu-2" class="art-block widget widget_nav_menu clearfix"> <div class="art-blockheader"> <h3 class="t">Dr. Jack’s Classics</h3> </div><div class="art-blockcontent"><div class="menu-classics-container"><ul id="menu-classics" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-8461" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8461"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/what-life-is-all-about/">What Life Is All About</a></li> <li id="menu-item-11927" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11927"><a href="http://www.2thepointnews.com/2009/09/islam/">Religion</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8462" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8462"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/rejecting-the-evil-eye/">Rejecting The Evil Eye</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8463" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8463"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/infantilizomania/">Infantilizomania</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8464" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8464"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/mexican-nazis/">Mexico</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8466" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8466"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/pretending-to-be-happy/">Pretending To Be Happy</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8467" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8467"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/democratic-fascism/">Democratic Fascism</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8468" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8468"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-chinese-christian-crusades/">The Chinese Christian Crusades</a></li> <li id="menu-item-8470" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-post menu-item-8470"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/solar-warming/">Solar Warming</a></li> </ul></div></div> </div><div class="art-widget widget widget_text" id="text-3" ><div class="art-widget-content"> <div class="textwidget"></div> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="art-footer"> <div class="art-footer-inner"><div class="art-footer-text"> <p>Copyright © 2025.
