YOUR FUTURE WORLD as explained by Russian General Leonid Ivashov
General Leonid Ivashov is the vice-president of the Academy on Geopolitical Affairs. He was the chief of the department for General Affairs in the Soviet Union's Ministry of Defense, secretary of the Council of Defense Ministers of the Community of Independent States (CIS), Chief of the Military Cooperation department at the Russian federation's Ministry of Defense and Joint Chief of Staff of the Russian armies during 911.
We must take off the blinders imposed by the main-stream media and learn to think "outside the box" if we hope to get a true picture of our world today.

RE-WILDING GONE WILD
Used to have a country but they
sold it down the river
Like a repossessed farm
auctioned off to the highest bidder - Bruce Cockburn
Epilogue
This analysis is from Cutting Edge Current Newsletter 1/21/2006
In days past -- before the Republican-controlled Supreme Court ruled that city and states could seize private property under certain circumstances -- James Hardy (second link in Cockburn quote) would have won his battle with the State of Florida. However, consistent with the High Court ruling that city and state governments could seize private property if their planned development would produce more taxes than the present, legal ownership is providing, Florida struck at Hardy with their newly-expanded Eminent Domain powers.
Now, James Hardy has been forced out and the State of Florida can proceed with its fancy $8 billion "Everglades restoration plan". Your private property may be next. Are you ready to fight the developers and your local and/or state governments? Private Property Rights have always been the cornerstone upon which our Private Enterprise economy was based. If people can no longer own their property, or if they can be thrown off it, our entire economic system is going to slow, topple, and then fall.
Of course, this is the final part of the Plan.

However, consistent with the High Court ruling that city and state governments could seize private property if their planned development would produce more taxes than the present, legal ownership is providing, Florida struck at Hardy with their newly-expanded Eminent Domain powers.
"Using its eminent domain authority, the state ultimately forced Hardy to sell. But Hardy's fight lasted three years before his attorneys advised him to go ahead and settle. There was no way he could win ... this life, Jesse always said, was all he wanted. He didn't want the money, never wanted to take it he said because now, at 70 years old, he doesn't know what he'll do with it."

KOALA BEARS AND KANGAROOS
It's off to Sydney that I go when my thoughts run to and fro. To see it's famous harbour bridge,
opera house, and red tile roofs; golden quays, Woolloomooloo bay and skyscrapers too.
And what of Sydney shall I think, Darling Harbour, the view to drink.
Sydney tower, oh what height, it's golden globe shines so bright, will I not climb it, due to fright? But alas! an elevator bids me well, to the top I will go. Farewell.
For oft, when on my couch I lie, it's Bondi Beach that catches my inner eye. Her golden sands in a never ending line, to the horizon stretch, to catch the setting sun's last shine.
Was I really there? Is this just a dream? It's hard to fathom but come with me. Enjoy the tale that I will tell. Feast your eyes and wish me well.
Koala bears and kangaroos, crocodiles and lizards too. Australia has it all for you.
Now it's off to Cairns I drift, where crocodiles, pelicans and cockatoos sit. Are you with me yet, want a lift?
Off to the Great Barrier Reef we go. The view; oh what beauty the eye to see, Dunk Island, and the deep blue sea. Beautiful isles sit here and there as we drift lazily onward to our lair. It's coral reef you see that beckons onward to you and me.
Brilliant colors catch my eye as coral reefs drift slowly by. Golden shapes of red, and yellow; ruby, sapphire, and turquoise too.
What is this I see? A shimmering swirl of color beckons me. Flashes of red, pink, blue, yellow, and emerald too. It must be the reef fish inviting me.
Will I follow or is this just a dream. Australia beckons me.
Epilogue
Just back from the "land down under" in case you wondered. Have a great day!
