How serious it is if someone is using other people's name without their consent?
For example if someone owns a company and claims that mister x and dr. y are members of his board of directors, and this is false, Is this a crime?
In addition, how serious is false filling with the secratery of state?
For example if someone fill that mister z is his company's treasurer and he is not even employed with the company, what law would he be violating?
Are all of those criminal?

I know I do. I preferred it when I thought our Government was at least partially honest. Then, 9/11. I wish I would have taken the Blue Pill. Do you?

so why is it that we have been at war for the last five years and the economy is still just putt, putting along at best?

If it wasn't for the war, we would probably be in a depression.

that you know full well you were not guilty of, and could not afford a lawyer, What legal course of action could you take to save your life? What if you knew you were "set up" meticulously by both civillians as well as Law Enforcement? This is a stalking question...And I am the one being stalked. No sarcasm, just educated legal opinions.

Hello..
I am currently a permanent resident of Canada. I do have have my PRC, and residing Windsor, Ontario. I was originally born in Iraq, but have been residing Windsor for the past 20 months, after moving from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. My aunt lives in the states, and i have been thinking alot about visiting her regualarly. I recently heard that you can obtain a visa to the united States valid for 3 years to go in and out. I find that hard to believe but its going to be incredible if that was true, since i can visit my aunt atleast twice a month. Please Advice about the name of that visa and its requirments.

Thanking You

Like Old Imperialism, New Imperialism relies for its success on a network of agents - corrupt local elites who service Empire. We all know the sordid story of Enron in India. The then-Maharashtra government signed a power purchase agreement that gave Enron profits that amounted to 60 percent of India's entire rural development budget. A single American company was guaranteed a profit equivalent to funds for infrastructural development for about 500 million people!

Unlike in the old days, the New Imperialist doesn't need to trudge around the tropics risking malaria or diarrhea or early death. New Imperialism can be conducted on e-mail. The vulgar, hands-on racism of Old Imperialism is outdated. The cornerstone of New Imperialism is New Racism.

The best allegory for New Racism is the tradition of "turkey pardoning" in the United States. Every year since 1947, the National Turkey Federation has presented the US President with a turkey for Thanksgiving. Every year, in a show of ceremonial magnanimity, the President spares that particular bird (and eats another one). After receiving the presidential pardon, the Chosen One is sent to Frying Pan Park in Virginia to live out its natural life. The rest of the 50 million turkeys raised for Thanksgiving are slaughtered and eaten on Thanksgiving Day. ConAgra Foods, the company that has won the Presidential Turkey contract, says it trains the lucky birds to be sociable, to interact with dignitaries, school children and the press. (Soon they'll even speak English!)

That's how New Racism in the corporate era works. A few carefully bred turkeys - the local elites of various countries, a community of wealthy immigrants, investment bankers, the occasional Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice, some singers, some writers (like myself) - are given absolution and a pass to Frying Pan Park. The remaining millions lose their jobs, are evicted from their homes, have their water and electricity connections cut, and die of AIDS. Basically they're for the pot. But the Fortunate Fowls in Frying Pan Park are doing fine. Some of them even work for the IMF and the WTO - so who can accuse those organizations of being antiturkey? Some serve as board members on the Turkey Choosing Committee - so who can say that turkeys are against Thanksgiving? They participate in it! Who can say the poor are anti-corporate globalization? There's a stampede to get into Frying Pan Park. So what if most perish on the way?

As part of the project of New Racism we also have New Genocide. New Genocide in this new era of economic interdependence can be facilitated by economic sanctions. New Genocide means creating conditions that lead to mass death without actually going out and killing people. Denis Halliday, who was the UN humanitarian coordinator in Iraq between 1997 and 1998 (after which he resigned in disgust), used the term genocide to describe the sanctions in Iraq. In Iraq the sanctions outdid Saddam Hussein's best efforts by claiming more than half a million children's lives.

In the new era, apartheid as formal policy is antiquated and unnecessary. International instruments of trade and finance oversee a complex system of multilateral trade laws and financial agreements that keep the poor in their bantustans anyway. Its whole purpose is to institutionalize inequity. Why else would it be that the US taxes a garment made by a Bangladeshi manufacturer twenty times more than a garment made in Britain? Why else would it be that countries that grow cocoa beans, like the Ivory Coast and Ghana, are taxed out of the market if they try to turn it into chocolate? Why else would it be that countries that grow 90 percent of the world's cocoa beans produce only 5 percent of the world's chocolate? Why else would it be that rich countries that spend over a billion dollars a day on subsidies to farmers demand that poor countries like India withdraw all agricultural subsidies, including subsidized electricity? Why else would it be that after having been plundered by colonizing regimes for more than half a century, former colonies are steeped in debt to those same regimes and repay them some $382 billion a year?

I know the obvious answer is from the inside out. I have always thought that the state of the union adress should be targeteted. Another good way to divide us would be to target events which promote religious or cultral groups in order to divide us along basic lines (attack the NAACP and the whites get the blame). After that it is time to attack larger targets and force chaos. As far as the attack on Washington D.C, one would need to place a nuclear warhead (the russian mofia has them for sale) set to detonate during the State of the Union Adress. One member of the government would need to be assassinated simultainously (A low ranking secratary is kept away from Washington in case this very thing happens). If the perp is smart the divice will detonate after he has headed to a non-extradition treaty nation. The truth is however if this happens it will make us stronger. America will stand forever unfourtinately we will end up in economic ruin.

This is for research for my novel. Can you get a warrant (and search warrant) for a person you know by their alias and not their real name? I was wondering if it's remotely possible.

I just found out I have a warrant for my arrest for a bad check. It was only a $20.00 check, and I did not know it bounced; I have overdraft protection so I don't know how that happened. I haven't had a job in 7 months and have no income whatsoever, but I would like to get this taken care of. I was wondering if a arrest warrant shows up on a criminal background check whenever I apply for jobs? That could be why I haven't gotten a job yet if it does.
