POLITICAL: Affords passengers the right to request a pat-down search (from Tweedle dee Lautenberg)
Tuesday, December 21, 2010FROM A BLISTERING EMAIL ABOUT THE TSA AND THE FOURTH
*** begin quote ***
Dear Mr. Reinke: Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about Transportation Security Administration (TSA) aircraft passenger screening procedure. I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has begun using advanced imaging technology (AIT) at 70 airports across the country. This technology allows screeners to take a snapshot of passengers without any physical contact to determine if there are dangerous weapons or other contraband hidden under a passenger’s clothes. TSA maintains that passenger privacy is protected by separating the officer attending the passenger from the officer viewing the image and blurring the face of the passenger. The viewing officer is remotely located and images cannot be stored, transmitted, or printed, and they are deleted immediately after viewing. In addition, passengers who do not wish to receive AIT screening can opt out for a physical pat-down. During consideration of the “Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act” (H.R. 2200) in the House of Representatives, an amendment was considered that would prohibit TSA from using AIT machines for primary screening, require TSA to give passengers a choice of a pat-down search instead of a body scan, and prohibit TSA from storing, transferring, or copying any images. This amendment was included in the final version of the bill passed by the House of Representatives. The “Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act” has been referred to the Senate and is currently pending before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, on which I serve. In addition, the “American Traveler Dignity Act of 2010” (H.R. 6416) has been introduced in the House of Representatives. This legislation would clarify that TSA and its employees can be sued for subjecting airline passengers to advanced imaging technology or physical contact. This bill is currently pending before the House Judiciary Committee, and similar legislation has not been introduced in the Senate. Please be assured that I will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation and will keep your views in mind should it come for a vote before a Committee on which I serve or the full Senate. Thank you again for contacting me. FRL: mts
Sincerely, Senator Lautenberg

CORRUPTION: BoA and USA with US Treasury incest
Monday, December 20, 2010http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/73468.html

RE: Bank of America Cuts Off WikiLeaks
*** begin quote ***
“How many times and for how long can an ostensibly private organization behave like an adjunct of the state before it ceases to be private?” Bank of America is a corrupt, bloated, and poorly run organization. They’d be out of business now if not for their easy access to the US Treasury and for their untrammeled access to favors from the Fed and from people like Geithner.
*** end quote ***
Corporations are a creation of the Gooferment.
Politicians and bureaucrats use their “creation” (i.e., corporations) to bribe themselves in exchange for favorable tax, regulatory, or franchise benefits.
Politicians and bureaucrats also use “corporations” as tax collectors. Only real people pay taxes. Corporate taxes are really just pass throughs to real people. Makes the calculation of how much you are really paying in “taxes” incalculable.
For example, on that can of beans you have in your hand, (pretend you can actually afford beans), how much of the purchase price is taxes? How much did Campbells or BushBeans pay in taxes? And, how much tax is in every component of that can and contents? And don’t forget the gas tax to deliver the components and the can of beans itself to where ever! It’s incalculable!!!
Finally, don’t forget what passes for “money” in this country. There’s a hidden tax in that as well. Every paper dollar is backed by the “full faith and credit of the United States”. We know what that is worth. There’s no limit on the number of dollars that the Gooferment via its enabler the Federal Reserve Bank, which itself is a corrupt banking cartel for the benefit of the elite bankers, can print.
So, “We, The Sheeple” are fooled by the meme of “government” and “corporations”. These are just “costumes” worn by men to oppress other men. The “Gooferment” is like your thumb and “corporations” are the fingers. How can you say they are not workign together.
To all our detriment!

RANT: How can you exclude energy and food?
Monday, December 20, 2010http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704828104576021262542609064.html?mod=djemalertNEWS
*** begin quote ***
News Alert from The Wall Street Journal
U.S. consumer prices barely gained in November, rising just 0.1% from the prior month, as energy prices saw their smallest increase in five months. So-called core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices and is closely watched by the Fed, inched ahead by 0.1%, the first move after three flat months.
The annual underlying inflation rate was 0.8%, well below the Fed’s informal target of between 1.7% and 2%. The central bank’s policy-making committee Tuesday signaled that it thinks core inflation remains too low–a key factor in last month’s decision to start buying $600 billion in Treasury bonds.

How can you exclude energy and food? Planing to stop eating any time soon? And, “energy” is in EVERYTHING that moves. Just between you and me, and the Western World, my gasoline price has gone up a dime in the last few weeks!

POLITICAL: Affords passengers the right to request a pat-down search
Sunday, December 19, 2010FROM A BLISTERING EMAIL ABOUT THE TSA AND THE FOURTH
*** begin quote ***
Dear Mr. Reinke:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concern regarding the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) use of whole-body imaging. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this vital issue.
The failed Christmas Day 2009 bombing on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 brought renewed attention to airport security. One specific concern has been the possible increased implementation of whole-body imaging (WBI) technology to screen airline passengers. As you know, WBI is currently being used in major airports across the country to screen passengers, and in some cases it is being used in place of metal detectors. TSA is using this new technology to conduct full-body searches without physical contact between a TSA representative and a passenger, allowing screeners to detect prohibited items, such as weapons, explosives and other metallic and non-metallic threat items concealed under layers of clothing. However, there have been a number of legitimate concerns regarding health implications of WBI technology, as well as privacy concerns due to the details of the images.
You may be happy to know that the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 2200, the TSA Authorization Act, which included an amendment prohibiting TSA from utilizing whole-body imaging as the first-screening device at airports. Accordingly, TSA would only be allowed to use this technology for secondary searches of individuals who have already triggered primary metal detector alarms. Further, the amendment requires that screeners disclose that millimeter wave imaging could allow a TSA worker in a remote room to see through their clothes, and affords passengers the right to request a pat-down search in lieu of full-body imaging.
As your United States Senator, my top priority is protecting the safety of the American people. While it is essential that security officials have the necessary tools to screen and identify terrorists attempting to commandeer aircraft, it is also important to uphold the civil liberties of law-abiding citizens traveling through our skies. While the TSA Authorization Act has not yet been considered in the Senate, I will certainly keep your views in mind when considering this issue. Please rest assured that I will work hard to keep our nation safe and our individual freedoms intact when considering any legislation.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of concern. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov) to learn of other important issues to New Jersey.
Senator Menendez

Obviously, my email wasn’t read. THis is a canned response. You can hear them saying: “TSA crank; send him the T letter”! Argh!!!

POLITICAL: Not “birther”; “proof-er”

My Life in Key West
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2010
*** begin quote ***
Other topics include the military officer who refuses another deployment to Afghanistan because he is a birther
*** end quote ***
May I suggest that you update your ‘lingo’ about the Army Officer, who’s refusing deployment?
You called him a “birther”. Which means that he disputes that Obama was born in the USA.
Now, while that is a perfectly good concern, (as a lawyer, you must know about “evidence”), it doesn’t accurately describe the fellow’s position.
He’s a “proof-er”.
He, like I, have not seen “evidence” that Obama satisfies the Constitutional criteria to be President.
Sure, we’ve heard a lot of lips move, and websites pontificate. But evidence?? Hardly.
See, imho, the most telling fact in this whole debate is that Obama and his supported have spent literally millions to prevent any disclosure of his “paper trail”.
Why is that?
So, us, “proof-ers”, say we just don’t know.
Perhaps a small distinction, but we want Key West Lou to be “hip”.
LOL,

ASUSNETBOOK: The saga continues; why I hate WINDOZE
Saturday, December 18, 2010FROM A WINDOWS7 SUPPORT FORUM
>reinkefj; Hello and welcome to the forums.
thanks
>type ping 192.168.2.102 (that’s you)
times out (?)
>ping 192.168.2.1 (that’s your default gateway / inside edge of your router)
first ping works and the rest time out (?)
>ping 64.233.169.99 (that’s google’s ip)
time out
Additional facts:
(1) Thru up another wifi with some spare hardware to the same fios gateway. With a different wifi “name”, works fine.
(2) ASUS support says to “recover” (i.e., wipe the machine and start over). Seems like burning the bard to get rid of the mouse.
(3) Have a MACBOOKAIR that just came back from being fixed. It works fine on both wifis.
So I’m “working”, but befuddled?
Perhaps the “security fixes” that came down automagically from Microsoft, triggered a “Home Networking” setting, that then WINDOWS7STARTER could not fix.
I guess the smartest thing is to “burn the barn” and start over.
Luckily there’s NOTHING valuable on the machine.
Your thoughts?
And, thanks for the response. You beat the ASUS support person’s canned reply.

MONEY: Sorting out “real money”!
Saturday, December 18, 2010http://woodpilereport.com/html/index-194.htm
*** begin quote ***
Oh, you do know that only dimes (originally dismes), quarters, halves and dollars (originally eagles) minted in 1964 or before are silver, don’t you? Those made in 1965 and after are not junk silver, they’re junk junk, they’re money only because “they” say they are and people have to pretend to believe them. They’re of no intrinsic value, or near enough, unless you need to shim a table leg.
Nickels dated 2010 and before are an alloy containing 25% nickel, currently valued at 6¢. They may be the small change of the future. Pennies dated 1982 and before contain 95% copper, they’re going for around 2.5¢ at present. Now for the dreaded minutia. Nickels (originally half-dismes, silver, then debased) made from 1942 through 1945 are 35% silver, currently fetching about a buck and a half. Eisenhower collector grade silver dollars are 40% silver, the ones made for circulation are worth about 25¢. 1965 through 1970 Kennedy half dollars are 40% silver. Naturally there is even more minute minutia, there always is, but none of this is going to mean much in a post-cataclysm world so it isn’t worth remembering unless you’re planning to go into the metal separation trade, post-doomsday.

Check your change for “real money”!

POLITICAL: The START Treaty — just say no!
Friday, December 17, 2010http://www.dickmorris.com/blog/stop-the-start-treaty-and-senatorial-pork/
*** begin quote ***
The treaty limits the US missile defenses and the preamble suggests that we would not engage in any new military technologies to thwart nuclear weapons! It also says we cannot convert any of our rockets into interceptors and it locks in about a ten thousand Russian edge in tactical nuclear warheads. It reduces strategic warheads — where there is now rough parity — but not tactical ones where Russia has a huge advantage.
*** end quote ***
Why would any American support such a treaty?
The Russians are not our friends, not peaceful, and not wealthy enough to compete. But they are chess players. And, if they can get us to forgo our advantage or ignore their strength, they win and we lose.
