Stonehenge: Is This How They Did It?

Wally Wallington has demonstrated that he can lift a Stonehenge-sized pillar weighing 22,000 lbs and moved a barn over 300 ft. What makes this so special is that he does it using only himself, gravity, and his incredible ingenuity.

Abe Lincoln Quote

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching
that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my
country... Corporations have been
enthroned, an
era of corruption in high places will follow, and the
money-power
of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working
upon
the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated
in
a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

-ABRAHAM LINCOLN, November 12, 1864

Sir Winston Churchill, Quote about Nazis

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

Toronto pagans target beauty pageant over snub to wiccan
Toronto pagans are mobilizing against a beauty pageant being held Saturday night, after one of the judges was rejected because she is a fan of the occult.
They plan to picket the Waterfront Radisson Admiral, where the Miss Toronto Tourism pageant will be held, saying organizers have violated Stephanie Conover’s human rights.
Ralph Hamelmann, who runs The Psychic Brunch, said 16 of 18 sponsors have withdrawn their sponsorship of the pageant. Of the two remaining, Alfredo DiGenova, general manager of Adrenalin Fitness, has no plans now to withdraw despite pressure. “I’ve received seven e-mails since Tuesday asking me to drop my sponsorship. I think the whole thing is blown out of proportion. It’s their pageant so they can have whoever they want.”

Play your tarot cards close to your chest

Stephanie Conover has been making headlines lately, but it's not in her capacity as Miss Plus Canada 2007. Rather, it's her connection to another beauty pageant - Miss Toronto Tourism, which takes place tonight at Harbourfront's Radisson Hotel Admiral - that has been in the news.

At one time, Ms. Conover had been invited to be a judge for the pageant, but that was before organizers asked her to submit a biography. It was in that description of herself that she listed Reiki and tarot reading among her interests.

"They said that I would be unacceptable as a judge because I don't possess an upstanding reputation because of these hobbies and that I should repent," Ms. Conover says.

She has since been dismissed as a judge and is considering legal action for what she considers to be religious discrimination.

"They said that God, Jews, Muslims and Christians frown upon Reiki and tarot cards, and that these were the occult and that I use them to commune with the dark forces," Ms. Conover says.

Scottish pagan gathering spells worry for some Christians

clipped from www.ekklesia.co.uk

Some Christian groups in Scotland are anxious about druids, wiccans and other traditional religionists from across the UK gathering in a small north-east community this summer, reports the Scotsman newspaper.

The Rev Graham Swanson of Elgin Baptist Church, told the newspaper: "I have grave concerns and reservations about this event taking place. As a Christian I believe the Bible warns us about dabbling in such things as witchcraft."

But Moray resident Joanne Campbell, who is behind the event, said: "People like to sensationalise our gathering and speculate that we are up to all sorts of strange things. But the reality is that we really just want to get together and socialise with friends and like-minded people.

Along with humanists, pagans in Britain are denied official membership of many inter-faith bodies. The dispute is over the meaning and antecedence of 'belief', and the question as to the representativeness of bodies such as the PF.
