Ted Turner and the tilt toward coercive population-control plans
RSS Facebook December 07, 2010
*** begin quote ***
Media mogul Ted Turner has encouraged world leaders to adopt an international norm restricting families to just one child. He claims this step is necessary to global survival.
*** end quote ***
Sure glad we have Ted to tell us what to do. And what exactly were his qualifications to run the world?

Since GE took TARP money, shouldn’t “President” Obama limit multi-million dollar salaries for NBC reporters?
*** begin quote ***
GE Capital received billions in taxpayer funds from TARP-1. GE Capital provides 55% of GE’s revenue. NBC is a subsidiary of GE. houldn’t Obama limit Brian Williams and Chris Matthews $10 mil and $5 mil annual salaries to 500k like the infamous “CEO’s”? Doesn’t it make sense now how MSNBC spends the whole day touting Obama and his agenda. Shouldnt they disclose their conflict of interest during every news story?
*** end quote ***
No wonder that NBC and ALL its outlets were in love with BHO44!
Its a national disgrace!

Tax cuts for the rich or food for the poor
*** begin quote ***
Washington debates tax cuts for people making more than $250,000 a year, while far too many struggle at the other end of the economic spectrum. Can you say skewed priorities?
*** end quote ***
OK, I’ll try one more time.
You, and your thugs in Gooferment, have no right to steal wealth from honest hard working people.
The 250k nonsense ignores the fact that most small businesses file their taxes as an individual. So, in the frenzy of jealousy to “tax the rich”, you manage to screw most of the small businesses in the USA. Who do you think does most of the hiring?
When you have a “minimum wage”, you interfere with the right of people to freely contract. Minimum prices for wages ensure unemployment!
Please recognize that your “Big Gooferment” whine really hurts the little people. The rich have choices; the poor don’t. For example, the Maryland “millionaire’s tax”, John Kerry on where to dock that boat, doctors that limit their practices, the owner of the Buffalo Sabres moves to Florida, and on and on and on!
Oh and by the way, corporations DON’T pay taxes; only real people do. So guess who can’t avoid paying those “corporate taxes” with a large part of their income? Yup, the poor!
Argh! It seems so OBVIOUS.

And, the false choice in the title is absurd. It’s not like an either or.

TVR (Long Island, NY) supplies TV service at RWJU Hospital and SPU Hospital in New Brunswick NJ. The costs are absurd.
• At $5/day, that’s $150/month for a very limited service from Direct TV that has tremendous weather issues. I have cable service at two residential locations for $40/month. How is that comparable?
• They also rent phone services at $4/day or $120/month. I also have two residential services at 30$/month and cell phones at comparable rates.
• When they fail to collect the fee in person, their collection process charges an exorbitant “handling fee” of $2 on $4.50 “rental”.
I feel they are ripping off people that are a captive audience.

US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary
from Slashdot by timothy
*** begin quote ***
gambit3 writes “The US government may require cars to include scrambling tech that would disable mobile-phone use by drivers, and perhaps passengers. ‘I think it will be done,’ US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood said on Wednesday morning. ‘I think the technology is there and I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones.’ LaHood is on a self-described ‘rampage’ against distracted driving, and if making it impossible to use a mobile phone while in a car can save lives, he’s all for it.”
*** end quote ***
Guess he hasn’t heard about radios and ipods and police cruisers.
Why do we put up with this nonsense?

News Alert from The Wall Street Journal
*** begin quote ***
Federal authorities are preparing insider-trading charges that could ensnare consultants, investment bankers, hedge-fund and mutual-fund traders and analysts across the nation.
The criminal and civil probes, which authorities say could eclipse the impact on the financial industry of any previous such investigation, are examining whether multiple insider-trading rings reaped illegal profits totaling tens of millions of dollars.
One focus of the criminal investigation is examining whether nonpublic information was passed along by independent analysts and consultants who work for companies that provide “expert network” services to hedge funds and mutual funds.
*** end quote ***
Conspicuously absent from the list are the politicians and bureaucrats!
I’m sure that no politicians were ever included in these ill gotten gains.
I’m sure that these “bad eggs” only contributed to the evil Republicans!
And all the politicians and bureaucrats are as “pure as the driven snow”. Like the now retired Dodd, Barney Frank, and Obama himself.
Argh!
It all just stinks.

The long road home
Boston Globe
by Bob Kinder
“Men and women, having seen years of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, are killing themselves in record numbers. Many are divorcing. Some are addicted. Scores are angry and violent, unable to process their wartime experiences. Yet, routinely, these same brave veterans are kicked out of the service and denied benefits or hope of getting well. The problem isn’t new. … In 2007, under intense congressional pressure to improve mental-health care for combat veterans, the Department of Defense acknowledged it was unfairly discharging combat troops by erroneously claiming a service member had a personality disorder rather than post-traumatic stress disorder.” (11/11/10)

Interesting. How does that jibe with the nation’s “care”?

Airport body scans, pat-downs draw more complaints
(AP) – 13 hours ago
*** begin quote ***
“It’s all about security,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. “It’s all about everybody recognizing their role.”
*** end quote ***
I guess “We, The Sheeple” have to recognize our role to do what we are told by this representative of the elite who run this country.
I can’t image anything she could say that was not more telling about their thinking.
So shut up and get felt up.
We know what’s good for you.
The small fact, that this has NOTHING to do with security and everything to do with control, might enter YOUR thinking!
Did the Jews being loaded on the railcars in Nazi Germany feel this way? It’s all about training you to comply and follow orders!
Xraying pilots and feeling up screaming children is a GREAT security strategy. The terrorist must think this is funnier than a Saturday Night Live skit!
I refuse to fly! I suggest that you do too. Nothing will bring this issue to a head as empty airlines over the holidays. Sorry, but explain to all your disappointed relatives that they can’t see the grandchildren because of the TSA. Nothing will change this faster than a a bunch of <past tense synonym for urine output> off grandparents with lots of time to annoy “their representatives”.
Stop the nonsense now. Disband the TSA! Turn security back to the airlines.
Why doesn’t El Al have these security problems?

SMASH THE UNION THUG-OCRACY
By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann
11.8.2010
*** begin quote ***
One of the first orders of business to come up in the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives will be the demand for bailouts of states where expenditures have been especially profligate – California, New York, Michigan, Illinois, and Connecticut. Throughout 2009 and 2010, these states governments have stayed above water by repeated infusions of federal cash. These one-shot stimulus payments must be repeated each year. They are all non-recurring expenditures requiring separate annual appropriations.
The Republican House must say no and hold the line, stopping this raid on the federal Treasury. The cry in the caucus must ring loud: “No More Bailouts!”
But, as the Republicans demand fiscal discipline and refuse to make the citizens of the other, more responsible states subsidize the wayward finances of California and New York, we need to focus on the union power that has forced states, localities, and school boards to raise taxes, borrow money, and – ultimately – to depend on federal bailouts.
These unions have forced contracts on their states, localities, and school boards which provide for ever higher wages, benefits, and pensions. Even now, teachers are on strike in a suburb of Pittsburgh because they feel a 4.5% annual wage increase is inadequate!
*** end quote ***
This should be interesting.
One thing in a “corporate bankruptcy” is that past contracts are broken. Everyone gets a haircut. Pensions get dumped on the Federal Gooferment at a greatly reduced level; ask the Delta pilots about that.
It will be interesting.

TSA encounter at SAN
*** begin quote ***
These events took place roughly between 5:30 and 6:30 AM, November 13th in Terminal 2 of the San Diego International Airport. I’m writing this approximately 2 1/2 hours after the events transpired, and they are correct to the best of my recollection. I will admit to being particularly fuzzy on the exact order of events when dealing with the agents after getting my ticket refunded; however, all of the events described did occur.
*** and ***
At this point, I thought it was all over. I began to make my way to the stairs to exit the airport, when I was approached by another man in slacks and a sport coat. He was accompanied by the officer that had escorted me to the ticketing area and Mr. Silva. He informed me that I could not leave the airport. He said that once I start the screening in the secure area, I could not leave until it was completed. Having left the area, he stated, I would be subject to a civil suit and a $10,000 fine. I asked him if he was also going to fine the 6 TSA agents and the local police officer who escorted me from the secure area. After all, I did exactly what I was told. He said that they didn’t know the rules, and that he would deal with them later. They would not be subject to civil penalties. I then pointed to Mr. Silva and asked if he would be subject to any penalties. He is the agents’ supervisor, and he directed them to escort me out. The man informed me that Mr. Silva was new and he would not be subject to penalties, either. He again asserted the necessity that I return to the screening area. When I asked why, he explained that I may have an incendiary device and whether or not that was true needed to be determined. I told him that I would submit to a walk through the metal detector, but that was it; I would not be groped. He told me that their procedures are on their website, and therefore, I was fully informed before I entered the airport; I had implicitly agreed to whatever screening they deemed appropriate. I told him that San Diego was not listed on the TSA’s website as an airport using Advanced Imaging Technology, and I believed that I would only be subject to the metal detector. He replied that he was not a webmaster, and I asked then why he was referring me to the TSA’s website if he didn’t know anything about it. I again refused to re-enter the screening area.

Wonder when “We, The Sheeple” will remember the Fourth Amendment?
