The UN Committee Against Torture has expressed concern regarding "the failure of police to intervene and take appropriate action despite the existence of legal tools to prevent and prosecute acts of religious violence" and the lack of an effective and independent mechanism for filing complaints.

Batumi is a seashore resort at the Black Sea located along the Georgia-Turkey border. According to one press report, the material may have been smuggled from Russia. The pellets mass and shape, together with the reported enrichment level, suggest that the pellets were produced for use in a commercial or experimental fast breeder reactor. Another report also stated that the smugglers were detected when they crossed the Russian border into Georgia, possibly by radiation monitoring equipment and were then trailed to the city of Batumi, where they were apprehended. It is believed that the individuals were trying to smuggle the material into Turkey. Tbilisi, Georgia, 2000 In September 2000, three persons were arrested at Tbilisi airport for attempting to sell a small quantity of mixed powder containing about 0.0004 kilograms of plutonium and 0.0008 kilograms of low enriched uranium, as well as a 0.002 kilogram sample of natural uranium. According to press reports, an official in the Georgian Ministry of State Security said that two individuals arrested were Georgian citizens, and the third was from Armenia. The individuals said they had brought the uranium and plutonium from Russia and Ukraine to sell it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 24.

I am a Christian and I find that the gay community is living in a fantasy world. They weren't born that way; they're just having an identity crisis. And I would tend to agree with the satanic' tag. satin is behind the gay movement. Laugh all you want, but if you read the bible, you will find that the gay movement actually started way back then. God condemns homosexuality in His word not the person, and I condemn it as well. Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. Ever since the gays started coming out of the closet, they have been trying to convince the world that they are normal. Normal? I guess that depends on your definition of normal. God doesn't hate the person, just the sin. Homosexuals are living a lie. They are never going to be happy. But if you ask them if they are happy, they'll tell you they couldn't be happier. But I disagree. They could be a lot happier if they had God in their lives. And yes, I know it is my opinion. Sin is what you do when you aren't satisfied with God. Homosexuals will not be going to heaven. Read the bible and you will find all of the answers to your problems. I wonder how many of you reading this, are going to give ma flack about this comment. I welcome all to comment. Remember, God loves the sinner, but he hates the sin.

The official said that part of those reactors were operating at higher educational institutions where it is hard to cerate the conditions for effective control over the production of radioactive materials. Rozhnov went on to say that "Such nuclear facilities as the Moscow Institute of Engineering and Physics, which works with radioactive materials on a daily basis, have a critical bench of two megawatts.

Fantasy is the basic poetic feature of any fairy-tale. The poetic organization of mythological stories is diametrically opposite According to folklore beliefs the other world is a reflection of our world. What is on the left here will be on the right there. That is why the nymph's song in the story above had all the words back-to-front. So people may say: " I am a widow so my house-spirit is a widow too" or "My house-spirit has a family the same size as I have - he has a wife and three children". A house-spirit is very "sensitive" to the appearance of new family members, especially new women. A house-spirit can strangle or pinch young wives. We met women in our expeditions who showed us their arms all black-and-blue. They declared that this was from a house-spirit who did not like them. A house-spirit also does not like shrewish, evil and greedy wives. People say that if a husband and wife quarrel often a house-spirit will play tricks on them both .

In his speech, Bush told a crowd of tens of thousands that Georgia is proving to the world that determined people can rise up and claim their freedom from oppressive rulers.

Fittingly, the inauguration parade route was lined the entire way with armed guards - so many armed guards that they had to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. As with the rest of America, Washington, D.C. was in a state of siege. The militant air of the entire affair was very much like a parade in the old Soviet Union or even in Nazi Germany. And in his speech, George Bush proclaimed his desire for world domination - to have the power and the right to decide who is good and who is bad, who shall live and who shall die, what form of government will exist in each nation. He made it clear that if he has a use for your government, you will keep it - no matter how oppressive. ------------------------------------------------------------------ news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5397102.stm "These people think that under the roof of their foreign sponsors they can feel comfortable and secure.

Not only have humans deviated from Nature's unwritten laws, but Man has noted that sodomy is rampant amongst the lesser beasts of God's Creation. The first inklings of this deviation occurred in a zoo. Wendell and Cass, two normally law-abiding penguins, were deemed to be queer in 2002. Unbeknownst to these tuxedo-bearing aristocratics of the North, the merry birds unintentionally started what now can be seen as the Stonewall of the Animal Kingdom, with the ultimate objective of homosexualizing all of God's Creatures. The Revolution spread last year with the outting of Lenny the Great White Shark. Who would have known that Don Lino, a model for masculinity, would have been able to produce such an effeminate killer fish. Moral values have now been totally washed away with the recent outting of SpongeBob -- the playful hermaphrodite who no longer bats for both teams. These seemingly random incidents have now opened our eyes to a bigger phenomenon which goes beyond public displays of affection at the New York Aquarium. Deer, donkeys, lions, moose, dogs, leopards, and even squirrels have been shedding their inhibitions for public, unadulterated homosexual displays of love-making. The Christian Right is seething, but will not surrender. As long as the Revolution is limited to the Animal Kingdom, there just may be hope for the eradication of vile homosexual activity amongst God's Creatures. As long as the Plant World remains a completely heterosexual bastion of purity and devoid of even the thought of mutual masturbation, oral sex or bare-backing, the Christian Right seems to believe it has the upper hand. Little do they know that the Texas native blazing-star (a.k.a. the gayfeather) has been working on Phase III of the Revolution. Soon not even the Christian Right will be able to think of something that isn't gay... ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.

The 95-GHz cyclotonic oscillations generate a millimeter-wave energy beam that penetrates the skin to about 1/64th-of-an-inch and heats it to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. DoD claims there are no permanent effects to victims within its range of 50 feet to 500 meters, but the beam will cause those in the beam's path to "flee" out of its range. Further, according to Loree, millimeter waves from the weapon do not cause skin cancer or harm reproductive organs. Using a display, troops could direct the beam accurately, enabling the weapon to disperse crowds in predictable, repeatable patterns, Loree claimed. Besides ground vehicles, the Navy is expected to develop a ship- mounted version and the Air Force a long-range airborne version for fixed-wing gunships. The weapon was demonstrated recently at Moody Air Force Base (Valdosta, Georgia). Tests are continuing there by the 820th Security Forces Group, which plans to add the weapon into its training program. ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_Air_Force_Base U.S. President George W.

The gay airman could have faced a more serious charge of desertion for running away, he said, because he became fearful for his life after the anti-gay murder last October of college student Matthew Shepard. Gilley claimed he had asked for a discharge on the grounds he was being harassed, but base officials said at his trial that he had never revealed he was gay to any of his supervisors, co-workers or even his roommate. Gilley was sentenced to seven months in jail, a bad conduct discharge, forfeiture of pay and a reduction in grade. He will still be discharged and cut off from pay and benefits, but thanks in part to the efforts of the Georgia Equality Project (GEP), Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, 30 days were taken off his prison sentence plus credit for time served. Rumors of Airman Gilley's perceived sexual orientation were circulating in his unit, and several unit members asked him if he was gay," the letter said. "[He] did not believe he could safely tell his First Sergeant the source of the danger [to his life], the harassment he experienced or his sexual orientation, because he feared the harassment would increase and he would be at risk of physical attack. His First Sergeant told Airman Gilley he had to stay in the Air Force? Not knowing where to turn he fled." The groups also pointed out to Coverdell that Gilley's fears were well-founded in light of the brutal anti-gay murder of Pfc. Barry Winchell at Fort Campbell Army Base in Kentucky in July. ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_prfr/is_200304/ai_4226559712 OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM (AFPN) -- Dressed to the nines in his best desert camouflage uniform and surrounded by his security forces family, a nervous but calm deployed senior airman took part in "Operation I Do."

The threats that suffuse urban centers have forced Christian conservatives to flee- to Cobb County, Georgia, to Colorado Springs. Hounded by the sins they see as rampant in the cities (homosexuality, atheistic schoolteaching, ungodly imagery), they imagine themselves to be outcasts in their own land. They are the "persecuted church"?just as Jesus promised, and just as their cell-group leaders teach them. But Pastor Ted's true genius lies in his organizational hierarchy, which ensures ideological rigidity even as it allows for individual expression. In return, what Pastor Ted has given his flock are lifestyle choices. 3.

President Eduard Shevardnadze blamed Sadzhaya's death on the accusations that Sadzhaya was a homosexual made by former Defense Minister Tengiz Kitovani. Shevardnadze expressed regret that he had pardoned Kitovani, who was quoted by "Rezonansi" on 26 February as pointing out that he first accused Sadzhaya of being gay six years ago. Kitovani said he believes Sadzhaya was murdered, but did not specify by whom. Georgian parliament Defense and Security Committee Chairman Giorgi Baramidze implied that Sadzhaya had been driven to take his life by a slander campaign undertaken by Aslan Abashidze's opposition Revival Union at the instigation of Russia. Former Deputy Defense Minister Gia Karkarashvili said Sadzhaya fell victim to "an attempt to change the political course of the country" by engineering the return to active Georgian politics of fugitive former Security Service chief Igor Giorgadze, according to "Akhali taoba" on 26 February.

Dixie became the name for the Southland because many Louisana immigrants were French. In the French language, dix is the word for ten, so a ten dollar coin was a 'Dixie.' The land that used the coin was called "Dixieland." The foot of cultural genocide is stamping out our southern heritage. Speaking of that beautiful flag, the only reason that we have lost her as our state flag is that the Yankees are still trying to oppress the South. They wouldn't even be down here if it weren't for air conditioning, as they are cold-blooded. We have lost our flag because too many Yankees have moved here and are breeding their lies, many of them unintentionally, and there are too many spineless politicians willing to sell out our heritage, for money and votes. The War for Southern Independence was about states rights, not about slavery. Napoleon Bonaparte once said, "History is lies agreed upon." In no instance is this truer than in the case of the War for Southern Independence What the South did fight for, and what that flag stands for, is freedom. from Georgia State Signal, January 20, 2004 Heritage TV is a small group of volunteer heritage activists who have been working for two years to create American/Southern/ Confederate and veterans heritage televisions shows for video distribution and Community TV throughout it's 2500 station network.

The choice of Atlanta for the ritual incantation was obvious: it was the powerhouse of the New South, the putative capital of Nixon's recreated United States. But what significance did Stone Mountain have? other than as a geological curiosity and a second-echelon tourist attraction? Geologists cannot explain the origin of this naked height of bare rock, the largest exposed mass of granite in the world, thirty miles from the nearest mountain - seemingly lodged in, rather than rising out of, the Georgia Piedmont, as if a Doomsday asteroid had struck Earth here but not yet begun to extinguish all life. The earliest explorers found an enclosure of "huge boulders" atop it, "somewhat reminiscent of Druid places of worship in Britain", encircling the peak. The native Americans they encountered here had no idea of who had managed to move the boulders, let alone arrange them so precisely. Archaeologists have speculated that since the enclosure had only one entrance, accessible only to a single person at a time, on hand and knee, it may have been "symbolic of the womb" i.e., the shrine of a fertility religion. Lurid speculation by pamphleteers about human sacrifice on the site remain unverified. Throughout the 19th century Stone Mountain remained a scenic outlook attraction for the upper class. Its rendevous with history awaited the first total war of the 20th century and the tide of reaction and repression that inevitably accompanied it. On August 16, 1915, twenty-five armed men broke Jewish factory manager Leo Frank out of Atlanta prison. They called themselves the Knights of Mary Phagan, after the fourteen-year- old Gentile girl Frank was accused of murdering. They drove Frank to Phagan's home town of Marietta and lynched him. The local authorities made a spectacular effort not to solve the crime. Exactly a month later, these same man celebrated the act by climbing up onto Stone Mountain and burning a cross that was visible all across the greater Atlanta area. On Thanksgiving, anticipating the triumphal opening in Atlanta of D.W. Griffith's racist cinematic epic The Birth of a Nation, they burned another cross on Stone Mountain. This time they were celebrating their use of the charter to found the modern Ku Klux Klan. Regular cross burnings thereafter transformed the site from an innocuous tourist attraction into a shrine for bigotry. In case the cross burnings were too subtle to communicate the Mountain's new significance, the Daughters of the Confederacy, after ceaseless agitating, finally started the project of their dreams: turning the stone flank of the mountain into a huge statuary carving of the leaders of their lost nation Agnew was flown in under conditions appropriate for a banana republic dictator, not to Atlanta Airport, but to Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, whence he was "whisked by helicopter" to Stone Mountain. The air base was crawling with police and soldiers; only a "handful of newsmen" were allowed on the scene - no other civilians - and the reporters were not allowed closer than one hundred feet. At Stone Mountain, "[seldom] interrupted by applause", he merely pulled the prepared text out of his jacket pocket and read from it. Of the predicted crowd of 100,000, barely ten thousand showed up. Among those failing to honor their promises to appear were the Rev. Billy Graham and Senator Richard Russell. Perhaps the sharpest chagrin was felt by fried chicken entrepreneur Harry Hearn, who was stuck with six thousand cold, unsold dinners. Governor Maddox sampled one with the typically testy observation that it was appropriate fare The speech was as unexciting as the cold chicken. "The South that will make its greatest contribution to the American Dream is the New South," Agnew read, "just as the South cannot afford to discriminate against any of its people, the rest of the nation cannot afford to discriminate against the South But content was not important.

A Supreme Court ruling throwing out Georgia's hate crimes law yesterday means state lawmakers will have to revisit the roiling debate that divided them deeply four years ago. The hate crimes law barely passed the Legislature in 2000 after bitter arguments about whether some crimes are worse than others when bigotry is in the heart of the accused. It passed only after protections for gay people were removed and the law rewritten to vaguely refer to "bias or prejudice." Of the 48 states with hate-crimes laws, Georgia's was the only not to specify who would be protected. Now Georgia's law is no more after an unanimous state Supreme Court ruling Monday that the hate crimes law was "unconstitutionally vague." Ironic, to say the least. 21.

Both these men, from Georgia, served the Confederacy well and faithfully in the Confederate States Navy, one as Captain, and ultimately, Commander Bulloch, and the other as a midshipman, rising to the rank of lieutenant. After the War Between The States was lost, they remained in Liverpool as businessmen and cotton merchants, and contributors to English commerce. Southport's Roy Rawlinson, who runs a website called "When Liverpool Was Dixie", said: "Most people have heard about the Alabama's links with Liverpool. It became the most successful raider of all time. Bulloch was born in the southern state of Georgia in 1823. At the outbreak of the war, he offered his services to the Confederate states and was sent to Liverpool in the guise of a naval purchasing agent. Now, 100 years after Bulloch's death, his incredible tale of intrigue is being honoured at an exhibition in Crosby library, a few streets away from where he lived. He was forced to stay in Liverpool because he was the one person the United States wanted to put on trial. "His life is fascinating.

Whether Clinton's script for the Caspian Sea region will manage to avoid the geopolitical land mines that confront James Bond remains to be seen. But the film highlights the very real dangers lurking in the region. While the Bond version of this story is entirely fictional, it does raise important warning signs regarding the risk of conflict raised by the Clinton gameplan. Although the leaders of Azerbaijan and Georgia have pledged to provide the necessary security for the east-west pipeline, neither country is strong enough to overcome insurgent and separatist forces operating within their territory. ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.artilifes.com/cryptography.htm The ciphers implemented by these machines brought about a significant increase in the complexity of cryptanalysis.

When the head of the Security Council of a ramshackle dictatorship like Georgia commits suicide, there will always be questions. Not only "why did he do it?", but also "Did he actually do it?" Nugzar Sadzhaya, a close ally of Georgian President Eduarde Shevardnadze for over 30 years, was apparently alone in his office yesterday afternoon when, perhaps depressed by constant headlines accusing him of the murder of Shevardnadze's predecessor, a single bullet passed into his brain. Sadzhaya was rushed to hospital but died before surgeons could operate. A week ago, powerful independent parliamentarian Boris Kakubava -- who often represents refugees from Abkhazia -- went on national TV to accuse Sadzhaya and Avtandil Ioseliani, head of Georgian intelligence, of masterminding the killing of former President Zviad Gamsakhurdia and others. After being overthrown by then Russian-backed Shevardnadze in 1990, Gamsakhurdia travelled to Chechnya, then returned to Georgia to lead an armed struggle against the government. He was killed in 1993 in a murder widely thought to have been organized by Shevardnadze himself. Sadhzhaya was little known even inside his own country. His nickname of "the gray cardinal" referred to his ability to keep out of the public eye. However, he has played a key role in grooming and bring forward cadres who now control most of the important state security positions. In addition, he was known as a supporter of closer ties with Russia. This last fact cannot be discounted if, in fact, the suicide story turns out to be false. As recently reported in this space, Shevardnadze has recently and publicy rebuffed Russian assistance to clean out the so-called lawless Pankisi Gorge. Even more, he was reported to have invited in U.S. Special Forces to handle the task. For all his long service to the President, perhaps Sadhzhaya was on the wrong side of this important issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 67.

Rose Color en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Georgia ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrgyz_revolution_of_2005 The Tulip Revolution refers to the overthrow of President Askar Akayev and his government in the Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan after the parliamentary elections of February 27 and of March 13, 2005. The revolution sought the end of rule by Akayev and by his family and associates, who in popular opinion had become increasingly corrupt and authoritarian. Following the revolution, Akayev fled the country. On April 4 he signed his resignation statement in the presence of a Kyrgyz parliamentary delegation in his country's embassy in Moscow, and on April 11 the Kyrgyz Parliament ratified his resignation. In the early stages of the revolution, the media variously referred to the unrest as the "Pink," "Lemon", "Silk", "Daffodil", or "Sandpaper" Revolution. But it was "Tulip Revolution," a term that Akayev himself used in a speech warning that no such Color Revolution should happen in Kyrgyzstan, which stuck in the end. Such terms evoked similarities with the non-violent Rose Revolution in Georgia and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2004, whose names owe a debt to the Czech-Slovak Velvet Revolution. Givi Targamadze, a former member of Liberty Institute and the chair of Georgian Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Security, consulted Ukrainian opposition leaders on the technique of nonviolent struggle, and later he advised leaders of Kyrgyz opposition during the Tulip Revolution. The Tulip Revolution, however, saw some violence in its initial days, most notably in the southern city of Jalal-Abad, where the first major signs of violence were noted, and at least three people died during widespread looting in the capital in the first 24 hours after the ------------------------------------------------------------------ 11.
