American Printing For The Blind

I am searching for a globe magnifier used for viewing very small things. Usually 3 inches diameter. Often used in examining photography.

Explanation of the American Printing House for the Blind's history and mission. Visit us on the web at www.aph.org

"Some might think--though I don't--that nine years ago there was some excuse for men not to see the direction in which the world was going. Today, the evidence is so blatant that no excuse can be claimed by anyone any longer. Those who refuse to see it now are neither blind nor innocent.
"The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that faces can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing, 'But I didn't mean this!'"

This was written in April of 1946. Will we be saying this again in less than a decade?

I can only hope we see the folly (and the criminality) of what is going on today long before a decade has passed. The fact that Atlas Shrugged holds several top 20 spots on Amazon right now says people see it today. http://freeassemblage.blogspot.com/ (see at bottom)

The comment above, "Ayn Rand is terrible because she leaves thinking up to individuals," is absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever heard about any philosophy. Who is the thinking supposed to be "left up to"? Human freedom demands that we all think for ourselves, and then be held responsible for what we act upon.

The Voice of the White House

Washington, D.C., December 6, 2007: “Some things of interest, perhaps. Is there blame to assess over the failed war in Iraq? Is this futile and destructive struggle the fault of a mentally defective President, egged on by a vicious and unbalance Vice President?

The recent revelation by the U.S. intelligence community that Iran, often put forward by Bush and Cheney as planning to attack everyone with atomic bombs, has been revealed to be utterly false. In spite of these revelations, Bush continues to mumble and rant about his determination to attack Iran. There is an interesting, and frightening, background to all of this non-stop lying and it is not the weak character of George Bush or the manic viciousness of Dick Cheney.

The Pentagon has long been outraged at the piecemeal destruction of both the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps in the meat grinder that Iraq has become. They know who the real culprits are because they have identified them and been reading their top secret messages for two years now.

Are they listening to the White House? No, they are watching Israel like a hawk, reading their top secret diplomatic and military traffic, getting reports almost daily from U.S. intelligence personnel stationed in Israel and they have long ago extended their surveillance to the Israeli diplomatic messaging.

From this, they have built up a massive dossier that shows very clearly that the driving force behind the Iraq invasion and now, the frenzy to attack Iran is purely Israeli.

That country has so subverted our official institutions with money as the carrot and attacks by their almost complete control of the American print and television media as the stick. Israel has used the neo-cons to put forward Israel’s needs to Bush…who listens raptly and obeys without question.

They hated Saddam Hussein because he dared to fire rockets into Israel during the Gulf War and they suggested that if American forces destroyed their enemy, we could all share in the revenues from Iraqi oil. That this plan collapsed is certain but most Americans do not know that the so-called “Yellowcake uranium” story upon which Bush based his war was a pure Israeli invention.

Now, with even the possibility that Iran might be working on an atomic bomb, a bomb which would certainly be used against Israel, that country has doubled and redoubled its clandestine efforts to push America into pulling their chestnuts out of the Mideast fire.

Israel, according to intercepted conversations by the Pentagon (and now circulating in Washington) is prepared to fight to the last American life. And those who mourn the young American dead and mangled soldiers in Iraq do not need to look at the manic and deluded White House but to Tel Aviv who killed and maimed their sons, brothers, fathers and husbands.

In a very true sense, the leaking of the report on the halt in the Iranian atomic development program was a form of very high level mutiny on the part of Bush’s military high command. This was not any kind of an error but a deliberate and hopefully successful, plan to force the United States away from blind obedience to Israel’s murderous wishes.

sorry im not fox news, you`ll have to read if you want the information...if you dont, please dont answer
ever heard of "dont shoot the messenger" ?
cant handle the truth...walk away

A very interesting read. I did at least take the time to read it all.

The real truth must be that any middle east state that wants nukes can just buy them from Russia.

Now they have access to an even more formidable weapon the "sunburn", and that is not covered by any western control measures. As devastating as a nuke and only a fraction of the cost and much quicker to make.

With Irans treaties with China and with Russia, it will be suicide to even attempt to drop bombs on them.
They have recently shown that they have anti shipping weapons capable of covering the whole gulf. So attack them and there will be no more oil out of the gulf region.
The meeting of middle eastern heads of state on friday agree that they should now all stick together against outside influences and not be controlled or brought down by them.
Why don`t politicians just tell the truth and the whole truth instead of making decisions on our behalf without our concent or knowledge.
Free speech is just a dream..!!

Has racism been erased — or just become a chameleon?
Every single day there is anew coment about how Obama is a terrorist, or how he is un American. Im not for any party in particualr. But i do belive that America has been fooled for many years into believe that we are no longer racisit.How can it be that in the year 2008 Americans have the odacity to print on a MAJOR MAGAZINE a picture of a man and his wife who may i mention is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA burning a flag and holding a machine gun.America, please help me understand how this is even possible or legal!! I dont recall a white man going threw this in HISTORY, Iwould highly appriciate facts. THANKS =)

i think you have legitimate concerns. just seeing the outpouring of blatant racism from the media and individual people regarding his campaign (YA questions like "will obama serve fried chicken and collards at inauguration dinner" are certainly indicative) does indeed seem to show that america is not anywhere near solving the deep racism that has been a part of its history for so long.

but personally i think that this kind of stuff needs to come out in the open. for so long many white americans have deluded themselves into thinking that racism is something of the past - to the point that some want to abolish any discussion of race altogether, as if simply discussing it violates the imagined post-racial america in their heads. i think that white americans need to come face to face with the racist monsters in the closet to realize that indeed we (all americans) have a lot of work to do before any semblance of racial equality is achieved. if obama is the lightning rod that lets us hold a mirror up to the continued bigotry and hatred that still lives in the hearts of so many, i say bring it on. it will be ugly - it already is - but a continued blindness to the still very real problems of discrimination will not make things any better.

It doesn't matter whether we have a Democratic or Republican president. It's all a show of how there are two sides ... kind of like a wrestling match. During the wrestling match, both wrestlers hate each other and want to fight, but back stage, they're all friends and buddies ... same thing with the Republicans and Democrats.

It is really the Federal Reserve that is running this nation. It is this private institution, that is not even part of the government, that prints the money for America.

The IRS forces Americans to pay income tax, when there is no law saying that Americans have to do so, which is also unconstitutional.

What is it going to take to remove the blind folders off of Americans for them to see the truth?

100% Agree!
