HOUSTON, 17th August 2008 (IBIB) – At a ceremony marking the 49th day of the death of Supreme Patriarch Thich Huyen Quang of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam held in Houston, Texas today, leaders of the Overseas UBCV made public the late Patriarch’s last will and testament in which he appoints the Most Venerable Thich Quang Do, currently UBCV Deputy Leader, as the new Head of the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam. The ceremony should have been held at Nguyen Thieu Monastery in Binh Dinh where the late Patriarch is buried, but pressures and travel restrictions on the UBCV leadership made this impossible. The UBCV then planned to hold it in Saigon. However, over the past few days, Security Police have surrounded all key UBCV Pagodas including the Thanh Minh Zen Monastery where Thich Quang Do resides, the UBCV Secretariat at Giac Hoa Pagoda etc. Unable to hold the ceremony in Vietnam, UBCV leaders finally decided to smuggle a copy of the testament to Houston, Texas, where a parallel memorial ceremony is being held by the Overseas UBCV at the Phap Luan Pagoda. The testament was made public today before a gathering of Buddhist monks, nuns and lay-Buddhists from all over the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia. In his will, written on 17.1.2005 after a long period of illness and hospitalisation, Patriarch Thich Huyen Quang wrote: “During my long decades in detention and house arrest, I have experienced loneliness and isolation.

It's hard to put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it, so many are amazed the Obama campaign is trying this technique. The fire Sen. Obama wants to douse was small until his aides arrived with gas cans. For months, conservatives have been trying to direct attention to the relationship between Mr. Obama and William Ayers. Bill Ayers was a Leader of the Weather Underground, which planted bombs in the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon during the Vietnam war. He went on the lam after a nail bomb his group was building to kill soldiers and their wives at a dance at Fort Dix went off prematurely, killing three of the conspirators. ...

In 2007, medicine came second only to nickel in the list of Cuba’s top exports. This is the third year that medicine has surpassed more traditional exports such as sugar, tobacco and rum. Bohemia online magazine reported, "According to figures from the Basic Industry Ministry's pharmaceutical group, Cuba earned some $350 million in 2007 from the sale abroad of some 180 medicines." Exported medicines generic and biotechnology products and include vaccines for type B meningococcal meningitis, hepatitis B and influenza. South Africa, China, Venezuela, India and Vietnam make up a partial list of countries that Cuba is currently working with to provide medicine, treatments and medical training. Cuba’s pharmaceutical industry is not controlled by corporate monopolies driven by profit maximization. Rather, centralized planning and social ownership of its means of production have allowed Cuba to prioritize health care and become a world Leader in the medical industry. ...

Governor Schwarzenegger's proposed pay cut for 200,000 state workers may have run into a snag. California's Vietnam-era computer payroll system can't handle the change. Democratic state Controller John Chiang said it would take at least six months to reconfigure the computers to pay out the federal minimum wage. And, I imagine, another six months to change back once the budget is passed. Gov. Schwarzenegger may have bigger worries at the moment. He's currently taking on his own party by proposing a temporary, one-cent sales tax increase. In return, Schwarzenegger wants the Legislature to include immediate cuts in the budget. Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata (D-Oakland) declined comment, while Senate Republican Leader Dave Cogdill (R-Modesto) said the one-cent tax hike would "worsen an already languishing economy." California Attorney General Jerry Brown has sued YourTravelBiz.com, claiming that the business is running a pyramid scheme. The dot com is "immensely profitable to a few individuals on top and a complete rip-off for most everyone else," said Brown. "Today's lawsuit seeks to shut down the company's unlawful operation before more people are exploited by the scam." Brown is seeking $25 million in fines and restitution. There's more... ...

We will remember Solzhenitsyn as an unyielding champion of freedom who dedicated himself to revealing the horrors of socialism and exposing the ultimate evil of Lenin, Stalin, and their cohort of mass murderers, writes Yuri Maltsev. Once a prisoner of brutal labor camps himself, Solzhenitsyn chronicled the horrors of the Soviet Gulag system and emerged as a one of Russia's greatest writers. He became a moral and spiritual Leader who exposed and condemned the nefarious nature of the socialist ideology that served as the basis for the monstrous communist slave camps established from Siberia to Ethiopia, Cuba to Vietnam, China, and Yugoslavia. He riveted socialists of all countries whose secret ghastly history he exposed. FULL ARTICLE ...
