WorldNetDaily - "A Free Press For A Free People" "WND ... will blow the whistle on an evil-doer of the right as quickly as it will an evil-doer on the left." Their 10 most "spiked" stories (most underreported events) in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, and 1997!
"Compare this list to others that claim to reflect stories that are getting censored by the establishment press and you will find one big difference. The common thread in the stories chosen by WorldNetDaily readers is that they reflect the opinions of free people thinking for themselves - not listening to any party-line agenda and not letting their government do their thinking for them. Thousands of people participated in putting this list together - not just a handful of so-called 'experts,' but real, informed people."

We prefer Mozilla.org's very standards compliant and FREE Mozilla/Firefox for browsing.

	on on Dual Intel Quad Core Xeon Processors in Super Micro SuperServers with redundant power supplies and redundant SCSI Hot-swap (RAID) Hard-drives.

This web site is not enhanced for any specific browser. It violates the very spirit of "Open Systems" to have pages viewable by only one browser. We will not be enticed (or bought) to promote MS's security compromised Explorers by placing their icon here in return for "free" MS Web development tools. The next time you see a "Best viewed with Explorer" icon, ask yourself if the people that wrote that web page are the ones best qualified to make YOUR choice of tools for you.

And said another way...
Anyone who slaps a "this page is best viewed with Browser X" label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network. (Tim Berners-Lee in Technology Review, July 1996)
