LETTERS TO THE INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL EDITOR-11-19-2008

Dear S. D. Neff,

You made the right choice when you put your confidence in General Motors, and we appreciate your past support. I want to assure you that we are making our best vehicles ever, and we have exciting plans for the future. But we need your help now. Simply put, we need you to join us to let Congress know that a bridge loan to help U.S. automakers also helps strengthen the U.S. economy and preserve millions of American jobs.

Despite what you may be hearing, we are not asking Congress for a bailout but rather a loan that will be repaid.

The U.S. economy is at a crossroads due to the worldwide credit crisis, and all Americans are feeling the effects of the worst economic downturn in 75 years. Despite our successful efforts to restructure, reduce costs and enhance liquidity, U.S. auto sales rely on access to credit, which is all but frozen through traditional channels.

The consequences of the domestic auto industry collapsing would far exceed the $25 billion loan needed to bridge the current crisis. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research:

• One in 10 American jobs depends on U.S. automakers
• Nearly 3 million jobs are at immediate risk
• U.S. personal income could be reduced by $150 billion
• The tax revenue lost over 3 years would be more than $156 billion

Discussions are now underway in Washington, D.C., concerning loans to support U.S. carmakers. I am asking for your support in this vital effort by contacting your state representatives.

Please take a few minutes to go to
www.gmfactsandfiction.com, where we have made it easy for you to contact your U.S. senators and representatives. Just click on the "I'm a Concerned American" link under the "Mobilize Now" section, and enter your name and ZIP code to send a personalized e-mail stating your support for the U.S. automotive industry.

Let me assure you that General Motors has made dramatic improvements over the last 10 years. In fact, we are leading the industry with award-winning vehicles like the Chevrolet Malibu, Cadillac CTS, Buick Enclave, Pontiac G8, GMC Acadia, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, Saturn AURA and more. We offer 18 models with an EPA estimated 30 MPG highway or better — more than Toyota or Honda. GM has 6 hybrids in market and 3 more by mid-2009. GM has closed the quality gap with the imports, and today we are putting our best quality vehicles on the road.

Please share this information with friends and family using the link on the site.

Thank you for helping keep our economy viable.

Sincerely,




Troy Clarke

LETTERS TO THE INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL EDITOR-11-11-2008

Dear Scott:

This is just a quick note to thank you for your kind words.

My grandmother was one of America’s quiet heroes who have worked hard and made sacrifices so that their children and grandchildren could live a better life than they did. My journey would not be possible without her encouragement and guidance.

I will certainly miss my grandmother, but am comforted by the kind words and support that I have received from people across the country. I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
United States Senator

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I am searching for a custody case to use that is based on immoral influence. Each weekend my husband has visitation with our children he brings his girlfriend out with them. The children are devastated. They beg him not to bring her. Their therapists discuss with  him that he is damaging their trust in him and their relationship. I want the girlfriend blocked so the children can have him all to themselves. They need him.  Can you help me?  Thank you, C (editors choice to change the submitted name to initial...).

Dear C,

I am sorry about your situation.  I have worked on such cases long ago...Let me think about this.  For five dollars I could send you a four part series I wrote which was used at the then largest PI training college in America, as well as a group for the Forensic Training of examiners who must testify as experts in such matters.  The series is called “Child Custody Investigations © Textbook For Forensic Criminal Investigations”.  However perhaps it is to “IT” in the forensic area?  Perhaps you could benefit?...Give me a bit more time to think about this as I have a meeting with an attorney whose office specializes on such matters, and perhaps may have input which could help you.  Thus, I have not forgotten you…  Hang in there.  At least we know that you have access to three very short and concise articles on Child Custody anti-fraud investigations....leg

True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice...A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature...and...Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.  Samuel Johnston, Ralph Waldo Emerson and President Woodrow Wilson.

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FRIDAY FEBRUARY 15, 2008: 

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us...It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration...and...That government is best which governs least. - Founding Father Thomas Paine - author Common Sense (1776) and American Crisis, advocating revolution and independence for  America.

WAS IT A METEOR HIT, A VOLCANIC ERUPTION, AN EARTHQUAKE, NO THE UNITED STATES TOOK AN ABRUPT TURN TO THE LEFT Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Folks if your a realist who commonly employs inductive and deductive reasoning as your modus operand then the title of this article tells all.  McCain, Obama, Clinton and you!  Kennedy and Kennedy surrogates endorsing Republican and Dem candidates.  Folks who did support amnesty just prior to the election on both camps.  Exactly the opposite of the types of candidates and views endorsed by Hannity, O'Reily, Cavuto and Gibson for the last seven years (They should have had a medical student like your humble editor as at least by the end of the experience, they would have been deemed correct!).  Backlash against Bush and his pundits?   Has true conservatism been destroyed and abandoned because of massive abuse in the guise of conservatism? 

Lets examine briefly our popular and likeable president.   He was the largest bowerer of foreign capital in US history, and he spent more than any president.  He managed to develop the largest trade deficit in world history and our largest national debt!He never secured our ports, port products, nor borders subsequent to 911 which was the only prudent thing to do.  No we chased after fairytale and some enemies absent the ability to demonstrate and recognize the difference which caused massive death on a scale unmatched, destruction of four thousand year old carved out of stone temples and churches in Iraq, lost Iraqi museum treasures (defining man's evolution) to international crime brokers, loss of over 11 billion dollars in cash folks, cash to the enemy used to pay for the bombs that killed and maimed our troops, the loss of the best of the best in our military, 10,000 US kids maimed and disabled for life, as well as the greatest drain on US funds and assets of any war in US or World history.  Do you define that as conservative?  That's not conservative.   

Pundits have been scrambling to move toward the center or left on the so called conservative cable news networks and its so hilarious, it only proves all the little people that they wouldn't listen to were correct and all the expensive hot air and good will lost to being simply wrong for seven years.  That is a long time for prognostications to be wrong.  And in the end, they were all proven wrong by histories events. 

Conservatism is great if it is true.  You see true conservatism would have helped all Americans, not just the super rich (not one high paid news person noted the nation turning to the left at time of authorship..)!  But I would opine, as a independent voter that the truth is, there is a time for conservatism on issues, a time to be centrist on most issues and a time to be more liberal on some issues.  And it is thus time for everyone to get along, and solve America's issues. little guy Feb 4, 08

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FEBRUARY 1 2008

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader....Originality is... a by-product of sincerity...and...Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation. John Quincy Adams, Marianne Moore and William Arthur Ward

WEEKEND WORDS FOR JANUARY 25TH, 2008

The Union of so many States is in the eyes of a world, a wonder; the harmonious establishment of a government over them all, a miracle....Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves....It is not merely for to-day, but for all time to come that we should perpetuate for our children's children this great and free government, which we have enjoyed all our lives. Samuel Johnson, James Madison, and The President Abraham Lincoln

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Just wanted to let you know that you were a big success at Everest College in Burr Ridge, IL Thursday, when you lectured to our students about Eastern Culture and Acupuncture/Acupressure as an art and medical care. They felt that you were able to bring this information to them in a clear concise way that had not been done before.  In fact they found your lectures entertaining and thus kept their interest in this subject as no-one had in prior lectures and you should know that your chart of the important Acupuncture points; He Sea, Lower He Sea, Confluent Points, Front Mu, Back Shu, XI Cleft, Lou Connecting, Yuan Primary, Jing Well, Shu Stream, Jing River, with all the correlations to disease as written on the chart (You copy wrote in 1993) helped them understand the meridians and the art itself, how to diagnose conditions, correlate them with the Five Elements, the times of day which points worked the best and the special points such as Alarm Points, points to treat Headaches, carpal tunnel disease, neck, shoulder, back, lower back and extremity pains.  You should be very proud that your lecture and your notes have been copied by the College and incorporated into our lecture notes so future students will get the very best out of our college, be able to treat the conditions to assist their physician or doctor of chiropractic as you stressed; such as carpal tunnel, headaches, neck and back pain, help ace their boards and earn gainful employment.   I heard many students say how much more they understood this art after listening to you. Which can be very difficult to understand especially when we have been raised in the western culture.  In fact they are still talking about you and your lecture almost a week later, so I hope you are as proud of your time spent at the college as we are of you.  I also hope you are pleased that we have incorporated your lecture into our lecture notes for our program.  We have also sent you a gift for your contribution as you clearly went above and beyond our widest expectations for an instructor.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your studies to do this. It was very much appreciated by myself and our staff, and will be remembered for some time to come.

Thank you Dr. Scott Neff.  Externship Coordinator, Everest College, Burr Ridge, IL  

Dear Everest College(s),

Your very welcome.

HAPPY MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

Nobel lariat, Martin Luther King shocked the world, preached the gospel to humanity and then changed this planet by his deeds.  Never was a greater man born nor lived.  A man who developed a roadmap to bring his people and our brethren of humanity to their just status in our world.  No matter a personal speech, a speech from the pulpit, a march to Washington for freedom and equality, or a conference with the revered John F. Kennedy, Martin led our world toward the promised land.  The land created and left to all Americans by the founding fathers.  Yes Martin put the entire burden of our nations legacy as created by our founding fathers on his back, and dragged it to every corner of AmericaIt is horrific that folks have to work harder then the rest, preach better then the rest, and give their entire lives to the pursuit of equality, but without folks like Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Rosa Parks, and Lyndon Johnson (and too many more...Jesse Jackson still fighting for the cause in his own way...), we would all surely some day be the victim of insensitivity, indifference, intolerance, cruelty, discrimination and/or bias.  Color-blindness towards mankind was the message, but with it comes tolerance for all of humanities folks as long as the principals of justice, decency, fair play, openness, truthfulness, equality, freedom and eventually democracy are employed.  Martin Luther King is America personifiedMay you all have a healthy, happy and thought provoking Martin Luther King Day little guy

OPEN NOTE TO READERS

This editor is holding back on articles because this election in Massachusetts is so awfully important to the future health and welfare of this nation.  Coming soon, the Patriots Patriot with again those unbelievable hard to find photographs (Which are usually from the Original Photographer or CBS, NBC, White House Press etc Camerapersons who can't take the hypocrisy any more...), Keith Olbermann turning into the Wolfman via his jealous hubris claims that he "knows it all" (Pictures of his hands ever increasing ugly hair growth over the last few months-he will probably cut the hair by then...), Homeland Terrorism of our Banking System, open invitation to terrorists with promises of trials in the homeland leaving all Americans in despair, and much much more.  Of course there will be a continuance of the "little guy" humor sections and many more wonderful letters to the editor.  Keep the faith, your editor is holding back and chomping at the bit in the attempt to wait for the election resultsMassachusetts, you haven't had the opportunity to save this nation from a callous King and Democrat elitist induced overspending, taxation absent true equal representation of "we the people" since the Boston Tea PartyMy faith is with you to save all Americans from the double dealing behind the scene unfairness which is taking place at the White House and in Congress today.  Massachusetts you have the nation in your hands.  And may the Eternal Bless all Americans and forgive the innocent for the double dealing unfairness and lack of equality being forced down the throats of the American people today by the Democrat Majority and its leader, President Obama et al.'s unfairness across the board against the American People.  Vote for Scott Brown for Senate and stay tuned because you haven't read anything yet.  Eternal Blessings.

PRESIDENT OBAMA LOSES REFERENDUM ON HIM TRYING TO FORCE SQUARE PEGS INTO ROUND HOLES   Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

Our president went to Massachusetts and lost that election for AG Coakley.  Look at his lack of good judgment and he has poor judgment.  He steals away massive tax dollars to bail out the auto companies which reorganization could have accomplished the same things absent any tax dollars.  After his bail out of the auto companies especially General motors when the rest of us have to go bankrupt due to his horrific credit card act which eliminated ceilings on cards causing the new 29.99 percent rates many Americans have seen, he goes to Massachusetts and tells us "if we go in a GM truck with Scott we won't get to our destination."  He bailed out GM and then disses GM trucks!  His statements and actions were crazy and at best so dumb his actions were retarded.  And that is the truth and you know it.

So far our President has gone to fight for candidates in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts and lost all the races for those folks.  He is in denial.  He is becoming psychologically unfit.  He can't see his positions on health care, on bank and auto bail outs and then telling us after he bails out auto and banks that the cars are no good and the banks must be taxed.  Its almost schizophrenia.  He uses scar tactics on the American people telling us the banks wont make it, and after the bail out then taxes them before they are healthy enough to lend and lower credit cards back to the rates prior to him being elected.  Its crazy, its denial, and its killing the democratic party. 

This editor actually feels sorry for the democrat friends I have because in stead of looking at the big picture, or even the future, they gamed everything, all of their good will away for a wrinkle in time; a moment in history, not a legacy or anything that lasts.  Back room deals, secret meetings, broken promises, a health insurance plan that benefits the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industry more than it will benefit the people.  Massachusetts has the road map for American insurance, a state by state plan to insure everyone, but Obama could not learn from a Republican.  No he abandoned all the lessons Mitt Romney tried to teach in his own humble but super experienced ways so Obama could say he did it.  It was more important to have the end result occur not who did it or reinvent the wheel the way our President has on health insurance.  Why there are even 11 MD's in the congress and none of them were ever consulted.  The Dem plan is horrible, and what is sad was Massachusetts had the answer all along.  The Dem's simply could not give Governor Mitt Romney the credit he earned as the architect of modern health insurance.  And its a pity because it destroyed AG Coakley and the Democrat party.

Look at Keith Olbermann.  The guys lost it because his anger turned him into a Wolfman and he refuses to look into the mirror.  OK he is not the Wolfman, but it was the only way this editor could get his attention which failed anyway as it seems.  The facts.  Keith gave up his fans for his political beliefs.  He gave up his life pursuit for a wrinkle in time political view and President which its sad.  Wolfman and detrimental to NBC sports, because of his own rationalizations he can't see for the trees.  Goodbye Keith we once liked you.  But folks don't want to see him anymore.  Lets face it, this Journal does have readers and they not only send me their thoughts which I simply don't often have time to discuss but I have friends across this nation and Keith has lost them all consistent with the Obama debacles of 2010.  In other words they are both in serious "denial".  And that's not some river in Egypt!

Pelosi is blind leading the blind.  And poor Coakley was run over by the referendum against Obamanomics and Obamacare.  Remember he bailed out the banks while giving them the credit card bill to overcharge Americans and then stabbed them in the back with his new tax bill during a recession.  Now that's retarded.  He is increasing taxes everywhere when it is Small business which creates jobs and he has put up road blocks in front of all the "little guys and gals" of America.  Nothing is done for you, it is done to change American into France or a socialistic nation of weakness and despair.  It may be our Presidents view but it is not shared by the American People.  And what is sad is that he offered change, but it is change for the worse, and a change away from what made this the greatest citizen nation in mankind's experiential existence.  Democracy not a socialist society. 

The bottom line is Obama et el went against the people and it steamrolled Coakley.  And it appears that there are more games by our President which will anger the folks further until one day these Dems wake up and there won't be much of them left in the Senate, House, and perhaps even the White House.  Congratulations Senator Scott Brown for standing up for us in the face of all odds.  You know we love that about Americans and you didn't try to change us into socialists.  In fact if Scott has his way, we will be a safer nation, a stronger nation, he will turn small business around, he will build jobs, and help to enact state insurance plans tailored for each business and citizen in each state rather than trying to force square pegs in round holes.  Congratulations Scott Brown, your made all patriots proud to be Americans this day.   little guy 8:30 PM CT 1-19-2010

PRESIDENT OBAMA SNOWS OVER THE TRUTH TODAY IN HIS TOWN HALL MESSAGE Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

President Obama gave a speech today which on surface and absent analysis was good.  Add to that which he directly took from Senator Scott Brown's oratory, and it was very good.  Unfortunately I had missed much of it do to work, but one part this editor was able to catch was misleading and not truthful.  Heck then, lets look at the promises which he snowed over the folks with.  Snowed over because they applauded indicating they were completely in the dark on the truth.  And its not only shameful, its painful as his speaking style makes him so darn likeable.

President Obama said that he will be, he will be proposing regulation for those evil Banks that caused all the ills in the world (It was toxic home loans which brought us down, then egregious resale of such loans folks by foreign banks and AIG) and that once he does, some folks will say he is growing government again and will criticize him.  Folks, look at the article below called PRESIDENT OBAMA WRONG ON FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND YOUR INVESTMENTS.  This editor has already dissected and printed the peoples view, Independents, Tea Party and apparently Republican (will post Letters to the Editor from Republican analysis soon) view of the elitists progressive far left wing proposals which brought our markets down this week over 400 points akin to the worst days of the recession.  Will folks?!?  He knows this editor came out with analysis the moment he spoke and the markets dropped, causing many folks to lose fortunes this week in their Sep-Ira's, Roth-Ira's and 401K's.  He mislead the people in his town hall meeting today and knowing the truth is more important than lovely sounding tactics when the health, welfare and prosperity of each and every citizen and our institutions are at stake, please find the truth here to set you free.  Indeed folks.  Indeed!

He suggested some folks will find fault with his Bank proposal he has yet to come out with when he already came out with it causing the largest single day drops in your retirement funds since he made claim to fixing sliding investments!  Further folks won't need to analysis this in the future, as it was already done below in my most recent article motivated by calls from citizens who lost everything this week in their retirement accounts and could not even afford food for their households this weekend!

At this point, what are we going to do with a silver tongued speaker who manipulates situations and truths, to win votes for extremist left wing progressive destruction of democracy creating a socialist society?  Let this editor know what you think and I will post your comments pro and con here at the Journal. little guy

Of all the anti-social vested interests the worst is the vested interest in ill-health...To lengthen thy Life, lessen thy meals...The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is the best...Be careful about reading health books.  You may die of a misprint.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR- REPUBLICAN VIEW ON PRESIDENT OBAMA WRONG ON FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND YOUR INVESTMENTS

Dear Dr. Neff (Editor little guy),

Your article was excellently written and sophisticated on financial markets, instruments, banks and their interplay with each other and middle class investments.  You should be the Presidents advisor but I think its better that your not.  I am also glad you are again seeing the light and supporting the Republicans again.  It's the only way to keep a governor on our motor so to speak; to have someone like you who is fair and balanced, truthful and honest giving us feedback.  But I also have to say that for awhile I was afraid you were becoming blinded by anti-Bush feelings.  I for one, would welcome Bush back with open arms and would love to say goodbye to this maniacal Obama. 

I can only hope and pray that a vast majority of those elected in November are Republicans and we can get rid of some of the idiots like Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer.  I am afraid we cannot get rid of Nancy Pelosi from her small district of ultraliberals in northern Ca.  There is already a strong movement in Nevada to unseat Harry Reid.  It has a good chance of working.  Keep up the outstanding work.  If you do, I know other Republicans will come and study here before they give a speech or handle a debate.  You hit the issues like no one else had to date.  The first so to speak and thus outstanding....

Honorable Reader,

Thank you and you are correct, I did want to give Obama a chance, but because of medical school and hospital rotations, I did not put in the time necessary to investigate who he was as I would a food someone recommended (I must know how much fat, what kind of fat, calories, protein, and so forth)...the nuts and bolts of what makes a candidate claim he is qualified to become President or a food is good for my patients or a particular disorder they may have!  As I referenced below due to time constraints it was hoped he would make us more popular worldwide and speak softly while carrying a big stick.  What we got were emboldened enemies of humanity such as Iran funding most terrorism and building a bomb to either blow us up or the middle east nations they don't like and most definitely be able to either send us dirty bombs or sell them to other terrorists to do the dastardly deed.  He took out President Bush's brilliant missile defense system which had the Russians and Chinese beginning to work with us, but now we get Obama like lip service back from those two nations while our secrets are stolen and they secretly support Iran and North Korea.  And worst of all, our President is trying to change our most beloved USA into a socialist progressive France light which is so horrible, so anti-American, so anti-founding fathers, that this Independent editor looks around in the mornings to see if my furniture is still here, or any investments are left because Obama wants to share anybody's assists and wealth that don't agree with him with folks who will vote for him!  Remember he gave the Unions tax free status on the same insurance that the rest of the citizens may have but would have to pay tax on.  Further, he singled out one window company who is small and makes no better or green windows then the others but gave campaign contributions  and then we found out that the wife of the executive of that company who donated money to his campaign is his person who decides when the Obama government will spend money on such products and how often!  He hired her into his staff.  An unconscionable absence of separation of business and state, and cronyism with one of the least competitive companies in the industry.  The Obama socialism just goes on and on, and just after his ubersocialist anti-health care reform bill seemed to falter with its massive kickbacks to the pharmaceutical and insurance industry he attacked our savings, savings instruments, their holding houses, holding house bank support, and that which supports banks such as the right to invest in new innovation absent government strings to pull them back.  As I say, we must wake up everyday to count our furniture under President Obama and wait for his next harebrain scheme to be brought to light.  Taxation without equal representation, civilian trials for war combatants which Abraham Lincoln didn't do and on and on Obama progressive socialist spin goes.  Thank you for writing and I will try to live up to your kind words.  Most humbly yours, little guy

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WANTS DC TRIAL FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN'S POINT MAN IN THE BALI BOMBING Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

Heck, just when you thought you heard everything, "the" Obama Administration promises terrorists around the world that, they haven't heard anything yet.  "The" Obama Administration done consciously or unconsciously promises all wood be terrorists, commit terrorism anywhere in the world, and we will give you a "Get out of Jail Free Card" in the form of multiple hoops the prosecution must jump through in order to convict!  Conviction in a US civilian trial!

Can you believe, a trial in Washington DC for the Guantanamo Bay detainee suspected of masterminding the bombing of a Bali nightclub that killed 202 people, a plan that would bring one of the world's most notorious terrorism suspects just steps from the U.S. Capitol, has been offered up for consideration by the Obama Administration!  What in the heck is going on?  Do they wish to give hope to terrorists?  It seems so.  Riduan Isamuddin, aka Hambali, under interrogation admitted he was allegedly Osama bin Laden's point man in Indonesia.  This is something which now must be called an allegation under "Obama's Law" as interrogation evidence is not allowed in civilian court due to the duress rules of evidence absent being mirandized.  Hambali was captured in August 2003 thank the eternal, and is the main link between al-Qaida and Jemaah Islamiyah, the terror group who carried out the 2002 bombing on the island of Bali.

But it doesn't stop there.  No, because if it did, there would be less hope for terrorists around the Globe.  For example, some other terrorism trials also may occur in Washington and New York City under a proposal being discussed within the Obama administration.  Folks, conducting a trial of this nature within our nation's capital would be a symbol of hope for terrorists, in every cave, mud hole, tent, or wherever they may be around our planet.  This once success story for the Bush administration's will be morphed into a program of hope for terrorists and despair for "all that is good" within our world.

In 2007, after admitting his roles under Bush's program of interrogation, when he (Hambali) appeared before a preliminary military tribunal, he denied any connection with al-Qaida.  Once he is lawyered up, perhaps he will allege he was undercover for the Obama folks the whole time and therefore should be removed from trial on the grounds that Obama won't admit to it.  Or some other hogwash.  Folks, its your rights under the constitution for war combatants to be tried in Military Tribunals which is under attack, and by the end of the day, proves your safety is under attack!  Even by those who committed terrorism against targets not within the US, such as Hambali captured by the US through Bush strategy, not much in the way of planning against the US save Americans in the Bali nightclub if any, and therefore should be tried by a military tribunal as a captured terrorist war combatant as it is simply common sense. little guy

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ON PRESIDENT OBAMA SNOWS OVER THE TRUTH IN HIS TOWN HALL MESSAGE

Hello Dr. Scott: 

You are correct in that Obama is a tremendous speaker and can be very convincing.  He has been apart of the Chicago political machine long enough to become very slick and knows how to apply pressure to often get his way.  Also, he is one of the fastest and slickest bait and switch men I have ever seen, often conveniently forgetting many of the promises he makes.   

He is not stupid, but I sometimes wonder where his common sense is.  Now he wants to take on the banks in a direct manner, in an unstable economy.  Say what you want about Bush, he would have never done anything like this.  Obama seems bound and determined to do things harmful to the middle class and seniors.  Frankly he scares the hell out of me as he is so unstable and jumps from one situation to another with no seeming sense of direction.  Why doesn't he concentrate more on security?  Look at his own White House dinner party where the now famous couple walked right past Security and joined the proceedings.  How easy would it have been for them to pick up a fork or knife and attack Obama or others, even after going through metal detectors.  How about the recent bomber on the Detroit bound airplane?  Obama needs to get his head out of his ass, fire Janet Napolitano, and expend a lot of effort on Security, but instead he would rather attack the banks. 

Any how, best of luck with your medical career...

Dear California,

Thank you for the letter and best wishes.

MARKET WATCH Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

Well the buffoons on the cable TV networks are at it again.  I hate to say Fox but this editor just received an email that two lunch time buffoons tried to pin the 400 point loss last week on Friday's announcement that two democrats, two said they would not vote for Bernanke!   When this Journal was on the right side of history and criticized President Bush for the slow response on Katrina, which Obama was fast on Haiti, Bush's slow firing of Brown where Obama still hasn't fired folks relative to the underwear bomber failures of national security and on and on it goes, this Journal had a happy face on when Obama was elected because we knew he would be.  And some of my favorite thinkers on the cable News, Hannity, O'Reilly, Dobbs, etc had very sad faces because they were on the wrong side of history.

Thus, this Journal is on the correct side of history again as prognostications are made by inductive and deductive reasoning not blind stupidity as would be the case of anyone who thought our 400 point drop last week was due to two Dems' seeing the light, or often blind bias towards one party which was the case in the cable pundits mentioned above.  For the record in case stupidity was voiced on Fox which again, this examiner did not hear, over 2OO points dropped on two days last week both times Obama was speaking.  Further evidence is the fact that 77%, yes that is 77% of investors think Obama is bad for the health and welfare of the investing environment, and everyone uses banks!  Only a fool would not pin the tail on the Donkey when playing "pin the tail on the Democrat", or Donkey.  77% of smart money around the globe agrees with this Journal which is why we are picking up international fans.  Tomorrow your editor will post in the Letters to the Editor Column, a brilliant and savvy investor who responds directly to my article OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WANTS DC TRIAL FOR OSAMA BIN LADEN'S POINT MAN IN THE BALI BOMBING.  Read very carefully how folks from the Republican, Independent and even Democrat ranks are agreeing with my Bylines. 

Make no mistake, markets dropping while Obama speaks bodes poorly for how "Smart Money" around the world is critical of Obama's poor judgment.  Relative to Bernanke, the man almost responsible for the problems we had due to his lack of oversight, and after making so many errors, was instrumental for simply admitting his mistakes and reversing course which has now gained him credit for helping the situation!  It is just that dumb.  But only in America after one fails, is one rewarded for simply reversing course.  Only in America.  But lets make one thing perfectly clear, the markets feel Obama's tinkering in areas he rushed into hastily which he has done on every issue he has undertaken since he was elected, and actually only worked on the Haiti disaster because we needed prompt action, is the cause of the financial downward spiral last week.  100 million is an OK start, but if we want to avoid this again, it will take American builders, rebuilding with American earthquake resistant structures and it will be in the tens of billions.  Lets hope Obama is committed to spending more then 100 million on poor disaster stricken heart broken and destitute Haiti.

Markets looked better today as the bottom feeders were out in full force on some loss which were overdone, but until we get a hands off on our financial trading institutions, it will be a rocky road for global investment, and if you notice, those that lost everything last week on the so called safe financial instruments usually in 401K's etc like Citibank, Bank of America and many more never came back and unless Obama changes course today. millions of Americans who lost everything last week no matter the party or ideology wont support him when he runs again.  And that is the truth.  1:21 Central Time my "Street Smart Pro" Schwab software says Dow +59.25, COMPX +12.79, Apple +6.24, Bank of America +.60, Cross Timbers Royalty Trust -.26, Dow 30 SM Premium -1.62, Ford Motor +2.56, Google -1.52, Great Plains Energy +0.2, Ocean Freight +3.00, Philip Morris +.93, Yahoo +.13 and much much much more. 

I hope this was rapid enough for you New Jersey as I have to jump back to working on my board reviews.  Good luck to you and all Investors, and if Obama would just stay out of the way and govern rather than implement we could be out of the woods quickly.  Good trading.  May the lord bless you with health and prosperity. little guy

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FRIDAY JANUARY 29, 2009

 

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity...Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master...The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Patrick Henry

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Dr. Neff - little guy

Hi.  My boyfriend told me about the InfoJustice Journal and I have been reading it nightly and appreciate your humor and insight into politics.  Because we work long hours, by the time we get home, I simply have missed out on most of our Presidents speeches, the daily political news, and we haven't much interest in TV unless it is Sci-Fi!  So I guess I am saying thank you for being there.  My boyfriend and I are new Independents and can't find a place to find the Independent prospective.

I also have a suggestion.  I noticed that you are a Doctor of Chiropractic, you have a PhD, and from the sounds of studying for your medical boards, you are either an MD or about to become an MD.  My suggestion is for you to go back and get a Dental Degree.  Because then you would have a corner on the market!  Ha, Ha.  Anyway, we love your little guy column and rush home some nights to either get a joke from the Independent prospective or read about the day's news.  Thank you for being there.  Bye.

Dear Tennessee,

Welcome to the InfoJustice Journal, your source for inside information and political opinion on the pressing matters that face our nation.  Your editor is very pleased that you have joined the folks that do visit us and am sorry about the delay in posting your comments as it has been a busy two weeks.  But I must comment on your very "cute" comment about getting a Dentists degree.  I still wouldn't have the doctor degree market cornered (If I need advice on finance I know who to write to.) because we must respect the Doctor's of Osteopathy.  And you know, I was just commenting on your letter to my broker, and advised, there does come a time to settle down as I have spent my life in School.  Your editor always had a burning desire to learn.  First it was Biology, then Psychology, then Nutrition, then Chiropractic intrigued me, then Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, followed by my Masters in Biomechanical Trauma.  But from all of this it became clear that if I became a physician and surgeon, and there were years left to achieve, I could find a home in the vast opportunities relative to either Family Practice where the doctor fights all the little battles, or specialize in one of the areas that my heart's calling takes me to. 

Believe me, everyone needs a good Dentist, but at this point, its time to leave that specialty as well as Podiatry for that matter, to those specialists and study for my medical boards.  I know you were joking, and I have been laughing for the two weeks since I received your note, but thought you may actually wish to know a bit about what make's me tick so to speak, and thus the reason I have taken the time to address your comments succinctly.  Thank you, thank you, thank you, and we need more Independents because it is the only way to keep the other parties honest.  Best of luck and may the Eternal Bless you both.

OBAMA MAY CHANGE ON TERRORIST COMBATANTS AND REVERSE BACK TO TRIAL BY MILITARY TRIBUNALSome say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

My, my, my.  It is clear to me that if he changes course then he finally listened to the American people on something and find the second thing to commend him on.  Folks, if this President can demonstrate some kind of learning curve, that is good for America and he should be praised for it.  If he fails to listen well, then so far in his term he really only made one accomplishment.  Acting fast on Haiti.  However and again, if he changes, he earns respect for saving our cities where trials were to be held from becoming terrorist targets, protecting innocent folks of different religions from being hurt by horrible and rude statements made by the terrorists, and from making hurtful disparaging remarks about our country or another.

It is my hope he can change, because then there is hope that he might listen and stop spending, balance the budget, reverse course on Democrat plans to become intrusive in the lives of Americans, and eliminate the socialist anti-American health care bill in lieu of simply offering regulation to preclude preexisting injuries, mandate that insurance cannot be dropped suddenly if someone is paid in full but has a life ending injury or sudden disease, and extend Medicare to the folks that don't have insurance, or lose insurance temporarily.  The ball is in his court, there is 3 second's left, they are down by two points, and he is known for having a three point shot! little guy

US POLITICS 101/THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POWER BROKER REPUBLICANS AND THE POWER BROKER DEMOCRAT PARTY Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"Benjamin Franklin

Hipocrasy is a manifestation of the Democrat party.  Their name is Democrat but their powerbroker polices end in redistribution of wealth, promising the world to become elected, then in office their logic takes over and of course they will not keep their promises  and thus become complete Hippocrates who move the society in the direction of socialism.  This editor could not put his finger on what was going on until I heard a loon on the Fox Channel explaining that the Senate Bill will become law and the House Bill will be thrown out, that the congress for years has thrown away the American peoples money on pork and earmarks, that Obama has been hinting since he was elected he would move away from the single payer option and too much more of excuse politics.  Of course the loon did not admit Obama promised a public single payer option, that this Democrat majority has given away the largest dollar amounts than any in history, have created an insurance act which is socialism and not what was promised, failed to note the true causes of death from disease everyone will suffer from and the true causes of disease which cause death to those of younger ages such as suicide, death by accidents and murder (which are dead on arrival and zero benefit from insurance), and that the new bill lower Medicare to the level of Medicaid which many physicians and surgeons cannot afford to accept and thus will cause them to begin to not accept Medicare patients on in-office visits (creating the problems of Canada and England etc), causing new physicians and surgeons to not be able to payoff their student loans in a timely fashion, creating even a greater loss of new physicians and surgeons when our hospitals need them as well as our residential areas, and will now fail to fully cover the major causes of death for everyone; heart attack, cancer and stroke which primarily occur to the Medicare insured ages (Which all folks eventually will succumb to directly caused by the Obama/Democrat majority healthcare act; inconsistent!) groups and simply too much more in this vein.  Unconscionable.

Conversely, the Republicans of recent opine options and statements which we find unacceptable when running for office but the lesson is you actually get what you vote for with a Republican whereas as illustrated above, factually you get anything but what you were promised by the Democrat party once elected to a powerbroker position such as President, Speaker of the House or Senate Majority leader and too much more again.  For example, President Obama, Reid and Pelosi criticized the Presidents and CEO's of the major corporations for giving away person or company earned moneys, when in reality Obama, Reid and Pelosi did the same thing.  Hypocrisy to the nth degree.  Further, our CEO's and so forth were citied for flying in Jets when our President, Reid and Pelosi fly in Jets.  Unboundless hypocrisy by the Democrat party.  And finally because the Obama administration has ignored Iran, our world is far less safe than it was under the Republicans because Iran knew that the Republicans were serious about progress in the middle east, in our nation, and our world.

You can't trust anything these power brokers promise and now that we have sifted through the smoke screen, citizens who use inductive and deductive reasoning, one by one, a slow process, will catch on.  Democrats unlike their name move us into socialism, and Republicans who state their true intent which is often unpopular move us in Democratic directions and we indeed get what they promised.  There is a huge gap in credibility between the Democrat/Socialist Party and the Republican/Democratic party.  And the powerful magazine editors like the one on Fox who was obviously a Democrat/Socialist say things to support their candidate such as Obama has hinted this year he would move away from a single payer option/public option when the issue is he broke his promise.  Period. 

So the next time we get some Republican that tells us things we may not want to hear, remember that you know where they stand, and if you vote in that direction, you will get what you anticipated.  And the next time a Democrat/Socialist runs for a power position, they will promise you exactly what you want to hear, but once in office will realize how illogical that was because they are smart folks, and give us exactly what we don't want because their alternative is exactly what we never would have wanted, and it is unfortunate that this reality is clouded by wonderful speaking style and good looks by some of the candidates, and the blunt honesty of some that may not speak as well or be as attractive a candidate but you will get what they promised, which by the end of the day, is good for our nation.  Politics in the US of A101. little guy

Official Pace Car for Obamacare...

Dear Alabama, 

Very meaningful indeed.  I know there is much in the way of serious truth based on scientific methodology and the reduction in Medicare which faces the nation as an obstacle to good health as everyone ages.  I know that the best and brightest of our teenage and young voters out there are reading my articles because if you have read this Journal for very long, you will remember from time to time Librarians from around the nation have sent this examiner wonderful comment and thanks.  Apparently I must ask them to focus our students on the Journal again.  I have picked up my writing a bit, as I have completed my clerkships but still must study long and hard for my boards.

I must admit that my first response however was hardy laughter.  And I thank you for that and thank you for the motivation to send me such a meaningful illustration, that of the official pace car for Obama-care (Funeral Hurst).  It is indeed the truth when viewed objectively relative to the scandalous healthcare bill the democrat majority has shacked our nation with.  Let this examiner know if you have anything else to add and I thank you again for your patronage.  I am proud to be your editor.  little guy

ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY

You hear too much about the bad things people do. Everyone should hear about this however,  Heck, I bet dollars for donuts that you did not know that the Christmas wreaths, some 5,000, are donated by the Worcester Wreath Company of Harrington, Maine.  The owner, Merrill Worcester extraordinaire, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well.  He has done this since 1992 proving there are wonderful people in this nation.  Also, most years, groups of Maine school children combine an educational trip to Washington DC with this event to help out.  Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one of the poorest parts of the state. 

Rest easy, sleep well my brothers.  Know the line has held, your job is done.  Rest easy, sleep well.  Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.  Peace, peace, and farewell...

May the eternal bless and keep safe the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who protect us all.  Amen. little guy

THANK YOU CONGRESSMAN JESSE JACKSON JR FOR THE KIND CHRISTMAS CARD

ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY ON OBAMA AND THOSE WACKY FLIP-FLOPPING DEMS Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

President Obama promised that if we pass his credit card act, then credit card rates would come down.  They said Merry Christmas.  Did the credit cards come down or go up?  They went up as high as 30 percent and according to the Discovery Channel special on the Credit Card Act is due to the fact that there is no limit on credit card rates.  Now he promises you that with the new Health Care Act which stole money away from folks over 63 but will insure the folks who present to the doctor the least, will save money.  Da on the surface!  If you don't pay for the necessary care but offer care for those that don't need it you may save money but let folks die. 

Antithetically the increase of thirty (30) million will increase the overall costs based on simple math.  You have read the facts about the death due to illness statistics below which prove factually that this is all smoke and mirrors.  And now the Democrats having stolen $500,000 from those that need life saving care the most to insure the folks who present for care the least all while increasing the costs for everyone as everyone ages, they again say Merry Christmas.  Be it the Credit Card Act or the Health Care reform act, both are the same.  Powerful advertising for the weak minded who believe everything they hear absent deductive and inductive reasoning, and I will bet you dollars for donuts that the young may vote again for these democrats while the experienced who view reality for what it is, may have to find new candidates to vote for.  Just remember the Credit Card Act before you celebrate the new Health Care Bill.  For you may be heading for a great disappointment.  It is true that your taxes will go up to pay for the new Health Care Act soon, but any alleged and they are alleged benefits won't kick in for several years.  Is that what your heart tells you representation is all about?  Its all up to you the voter, and these two acts have turned sour the hearts and minds of many Americans.  Read the articles below and learn who presents for necessary life saving care in the US according to our NIH statistics and make up your own minds once your are informed as President Obama has much to prove now in deed rather than talk. little guy

WELL, I'M NO MOZART BUT A FEW FOLKS LIKE THE TUNES Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

As you all know, do to my earlier association with "my" Uncle Sam all of which was indeed an honor, sustained a profound hearing disability during the course of expert Independent Medical Examiner/consumer education duties (Letter for distinctive recognition on file stating "during the course of official investigative work, and signed by the DRC"...) etc.  This disability is called inner ear tinnitus which increases in intensity as the morning progresses into the afternoon...and especially if tea, coffee (Alcohol products) or even alleged "natural products" other than juice or water are employed.  Thus, I can hear folks close or within a small and confined room, but absent proper acoustics, of course competition with the tinnitus has the anticipated outcome (known to "quality" physicians) .  Which is why we need to support the Americans for Disabilities Act over those who offer products and services absent any consideration for Americans with disabilities.  Indeed. 

Antithetically, and with much surprise, upon returning to the home offices of the Journal, have found tremendous support for the 30 music works I left behind.  And thus, engineers are working on offering a limited version of our first song for national pride, in good old American Rock and Roll format, and may ask for a small donation to defer the costs of medical school life, for the entire download.   However this is simply an idea one member advised. Lets hope we can work the mechanics out within the next month or so if "time allows", and bring good old American music in modern rock format (Other songs-Blues, Jazz, Pop etc after the boards) for our readers.  God Bless the good that listen (Most don't.).lg

CASE STUDY II: Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

A 60 year old female notes visual disturbances in one eye, vertigo, facial paresis, headache, motor and sensory deficits opposite the side of eye manifestations as well as alternating weakness of the opposite sides of the body which develop abruptly and last for either a period of minutes but seldom greater then 1 to 2 hours.  The patient also complained of sudden falls without the loss of consciousness accompanied by amnesia.  All symptoms disappeared after the attack and the patient remained conscious through the episode.

Exam:  The Global Sustained Rotational Test (Cailliet Neff Test) ruled out occlusion-fainting/vomiting or seizure yet a mild niastagmus was noted while the patient was asked to look to the side of rotation at extreme rotation.  The heart exam was negative for murmurs or arrhythmias.  Cardiac output sounded loud over the pericardium but did diminish toward the neck.  The blood pressure noted hypertension and orthostatic hypertension at 166/95.  While auscultation proved discovery of a higher pitched sound over the carotid arteries vs. the subclavian.

Lab:  Doppler study useful.  Ultrasongrapy or arteriography can confirm stenosis and identify artery.

Which of the following is the correct diagnosis?

A)  Cerebrovascular Accident

(B)  Brain Tumor

(C)  Pagets Disease

(D)  Adverse Drug Reaction

(E)  Transient ischemic attacks/TIA

Answer:  E:  Transient Ischemic Attack/TIA; Focal neurologic abnormalities of sudden onset and brief duration (usually minutes, never more than few hours; that reflect dysfunction in the distribution of either the internal carotid-middle cerebral or the vertebral-basilar arterial system (emboli).  Vertigo is most common at the vertebral-basilar artery.  It must be noted that between 25-40 percent of patients who have TIA's will have a CVA within 3-5 years.  A rare variation is the subclavian steal syndrome, in which a subclavian artery stenosed proximal to the vertebral artery take off and steals reverse flow of blood from the vertebral artery to supply the arm during extension.-"little guy"

POOR 14 YEAR OLD GIRL RAPED IN CALIFORNIA AFTER THE DIRTY 30 REPUBLICANS VOTED TO HOLD THE EMPLOYER HARMLESS ABSENT WORK COMPENSATION AND CIVIL SUITS AS RAPE IS AGAINST THE LAW IN THE US AND IRAQ Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

This examiner warned Bush that his war ways will cause copycats to use war tactics here at home.  Yesterday while trying to study, suddenly I heard four loud rifle shots.  It sounded like shot gun, but when I looked out my window and saw a man exiting the front door of a building with either a shot gun or AK 47 in his hand.  As he ran across the street he slipped due to the rain and as he fell on his but he rifle went off again.  Just then a black Toyota Corolla or Chevrolet Impala pulled up.  As the man opened the door aiming the rifle it seemed at the driver it went off again through the vehicle.  It was hard to tell if he was firing at the driver or at someone at the building.  The car speed off.  Of course I called 911 and gave a complete description as well as walking outside to advise the police they needed to search the building as someone may be dead.  But the facts are gang violence and foreign mobsters have copied the war like ways destroying much of Mexico and our border cities terrifying folks with murder, kidnapping and rape.  Then 30 republicans voted to keep Halliburton safe from prosecution which is known as workers compensation in the states.  These horrific human beings denied workers compensation rights to patriotic Americans as well as setting the precedent to gangs to go a head and rape.  Well, there is no coincidence.  Do you really believe George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin and the rest of the founding fathers would vote to free a business from a rape that occurred on their watch?  Do you really think that the poor 14 year old girl in California deserved the example set forth by the dirty 30!  This poor girl was attacked at her homecoming dance!  She was repeatedly raped for 21/2 hours and beaten over and over again.  She was gang raped from 9:30-12:00 midnight.  The drunken dirty rapist were akin to the drugged rapists in Iraq. 

When will we as a nation say enough is enough when it comes to violence.  When will we act like Americans again.  Clearly these villains must serve severe jail time and the dirty 30 republicans must be confronted rather than heralded by those on Fox News.  A republican friend has been keeping score and apparently those that follow Mr. O'Reilly have had some of the dirty thirty on.  Outrageous.  What ever happened to the idea of being a Mentor, and setting the right example for the people rather than openly and documented for history in written records of congress vote to allow a company, even if it is the republican favorite Halliburton, get off scott free and absent proper workers compensation court hearings followed by civil law suits. 

These Republicans and those gang rapists are all un-American and there are many voters who have had enough.  The dirty 30 are no better then the rapists themselves.  May the lord again bless this nation as it is clear that we have had eight years of Republican foolishness, evidenced by the fact that when their man Bush left office, he left the nation broke, in two wars he could not win, unpopular around the globe, broke our financial systems, advocated torture, failed the people in Katrina and today, their voices like Hannity et al., try to blame the financial mess on the new president even though he had nothing to do with the situation we are in.  If we don't begin to act like the good people who elected these fools, we will have continued bad luck.  And "you just can't make this stuff up"!

THE TERRIFIC TIM RUSSERT JOURNALIST EXTRAORDINAIRE HAS PASSED AT 58

Tim Russert, the best of the best in today's era of reporting has passed suddenly from a heart attack via plaque rupture in a coronary artery, causing sudden coronary thrombosis, while working at his and the NBC offices in Washington.  He was only 58 years old.  Only the best die that way.  My own father passed suddenly that same way, at his offices so many years ago.  My heart goes out to the Russert family.  Meet the Press will never be the same.  I have said my prayer for his passing and hope you do the same.  This is truly a sad moment in history.  Editor's note.

FAIRY TALES COME TRUE IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOUR YOUNG AT HEART-THANK YOU THANK YOU JPH Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Well its true fairy tales could come true if your young at heart.  This last Saturday was my last day of a wonderful rotation in medical Internal Medicine and Emergency Care clinical clerkships.  During the day hours, I was able to learn internal medicine from a wonderful specialist in internal medicine as well as learn about nuclear medicine, ultrasound techniques, EKG, knee injections (Joint care) and just so much more.  And then on those same days during the evening hours each of the six days per week worked learning from a rotating group of specialists in emergency medicine and urgent care.  Each of the evening four physicians and surgeons, specialized in their own areas but again taught me the most wonderful techniques at suturing skull injuries, torso lacerations, as well as extremity lacerations and just about every kind of medical problem that presents to emergency medical facilities and urgent care.  It was so wonderful this editor had to ask myself why I did not do this when I was young, then only to be reminded by my own mother when I mentioned this (She also reminded me that most folks in the Twin Cities and five state area thought I would end up either on Broadway as I starred in many many play's, sang, danced on TV-old soft shoe-before Once Upon A Mattress-West Side Story-Music Man etc opened, and when I was six-seven was on Romper Room, or my songs would be published although she always thought I would be a physician and surgeon...), that my father passed during my teen age years, and I had to work from early in the morning until late at night often sneaking away from lunch and dinner to attend my courses at the University of Minnesota eventually achieving my BA in psychology and some masters level psychiatry courses where I attended patients.  Of course my readers know the rest (Even cooler was the fact that while working in Emergency Medicine/Urgent care and Internal Medicine, your editor treated two of my teacher/physician and surgeons and one of the  excellent physical therapists for  neuromusculoskeletal problems/stress).  I was honored to help and learn so much.

Tomorrow your editor will begin his training in a wonderful family medicine rotation which by the end of my medical clerkships down the line in a year or more, may be my path for residency.  But folks you must remember one thing, "And here is the best part,
You've had a head start, If you are among the very Young at heart".

OBAMA SURRENDERS OUR SECURITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND HAS BECOME THE ANTI-FOUNDING FATHER PRESIDENT Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

My my my.  When Obama promised change none of us ever thought that meant surrender on important issues which face our nation.  First he picks a team of advisors who have surrendered our American Heritage and tried to lecture down to us on the merits of Mao by Anita Dunn (She's all done with the American people) and Chavez by Frank Lloyd who called the Dictator's tyranny a democratic revolution!  Next he surrendered our sovereignty to foreign police by executive order allowing them to investigate freely absent scrutiny while none of them have been vetted for terrorist infiltration.  If they could infiltrate our CIA of course they could infiltrate the groups Obama granted free policing over our sovereignty!    Finally last week Obama surrendered surveillance of China's hacking of our military, the White House, our intellectual property (Please note that this Journal InfoJustice is copyright and trademarked!  Now go to InfoJustice.net and your in China where my copyrights mean nothing under Obama!  My personal ingenuity, creativity and wordsmithing have been stolen!)

But now to grant us our greatest loss of freedom on our newest technology invented in the US by of course American geniuses Dr. Robert E. Kahn and Dr. Vinton G. Cerf while they worked for our Department of defense, Obama surrendered control of the Internet to foreign leaders it was announced last week.  He actually gave up our security early in his Presidency.  What we do know now is that last spring, within months of Obama's taking office, his administration, through the Department of Commerce, agreed to relinquish much of the control over IANA and their governance and to give greater representation to foreign companies and countries on IANA.

In other words Obama surrendered control over our "intellectual property" and invention.  This is a massive loss to national security.  Just another step in making a one world government of socialistic designs.  This loss of the Internet will spell disaster for our nation, financially, as well as for safety, security and our standing as a great power that values freedom and the free exchange of ideas and information.

This Obama surrender sets in motion a subtle yet complete takeover of the Internet by those that are hostile to the U.S.. And once it is gone, it will be gone for good.  Lets say it will be China cause they can pay off everyone.  Can't you see that China's recent move against Google to censor the Internet was a prelude to their invasion of your privacy.

And what is worse is that once again, Obama gained nothing for the United States in this greatest of giveaways.  Voters its time for you to wake up and "Google the roses" or smell the roses so to speak, because as our nation loses control over the management of the Internet, we have given away one of our nation's greatest assets, your only free entertainment left.  Folks this is outrageous.

Obama is worse then Bush on being a wordsmith.  He didn't even know how to say Marine Corp with proper etiquette and mutilated the word and then said he visited 57 states!   He was there, in all 57!  Heaven help us.  Kemo Sabe?!  He is such a good student he even opined testing Children with Asthma with a Breathalyzer!  And he is a higher spender then bush by 75 fold!  And he wants all us little folks, mom and pop America, and their children to listen to his prognostications for outlines designed by his overspending, over taxation, unequal taxation equaling an absence of representation if you chose to vote for another candidate or disagree with him on policy.  Why your not allowed to have your own opinion without being punished with unequal taxation as referenced by Unions not having to pay taxes on Cadillac Insurance but mom and pop America does!

OK, so we were all wrong on Obama.  He is a great speaker even though most of what he speaks he has no idea of the ramifications and subsequently the outcomes.  He may not even understand the meanings of the words he uses so well.  Now that we are all learning who this well speaking good looking fellow with a lovely family truly is, it is time for all folks, to rise up, oust anyone who supports him, and find candidates that will work toward smaller government, lower taxes, equal tax designs that don't favor supporters with lower taxes then critics with higher taxes.  Someone who is pro American business, American ingenuity, and will fight to protect our intellectual properties.   It is time to call or write your Senators and Representatives as well as our President and tell them you are outraged by this loss of your security, your freedom, your ownership of intellectual properties, and personal freedoms. little guy  "Pray a little more, work a little harder, save, wait, be patient and, most of all, live within our means.

WHO YOU "GONNA" CALL Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

In an article below, your editor called the drop in oil prices.  Oil went from $131 and change down to $126 bouncing today up to about $127 and change!  Thank you.  However you can bet dollars to donuts the price will be manipulated by the friends of Republicans until the elections are over and that once Mc Cain is elected oil will go to at least $200 per barrel. 

Because your editor is not home during the evening hours, I can only address the many emails in a general way.  The negativity network continues to opine that which they wish as the truth, and ironically they continue to then influence those who listen rather than think!  Its amazing but true.  OK, occasionally a lone Dem voice screams out the truth in a hurricane of Republican rhetoric which muffles the truth if it can even be understood at all.  My readers have conducted some research on their own which began with Mr. O'Reilly continuing to haze the NBC networks.  This caused readers to examine MSNBC themselves and most are loving their new network.  It has been reported to this examiner that even "Greta's" expose of crimes and law" the best of the breed on the air waves has had many of the same spokespersons of what they wish to hear as truth politically, as the shows which precede her, causing folks to become disgruntled and look for other programming.  Pity if true.  She developed a brilliant niche and did not need to bring the same old tired out spin republican politicians on her show.  But heck, this editor is only reporting an overview of what my readers have reported to me, and their emails have not let this Journal down yet.

Although folks like Hannity continue to hammer those that believe the weather patterns have changed due to the smaller and smaller ozone, Tornadoes have become more common than in recent recorded history akin to the Hurricanes, and too much more of opining what he wishes were the truth rather than the reality of the human condition 'truths".  When will the folks in the pundit arena attempt to work together to make our world a better place in which to live?

Again, due to my dedication to my assigned clerkship work, your editor can rarely read all the emails if at all, have found internet companies which are out to get your money offering zero in the way of products promised, but must leave this area to the powers that be for the study of medicine is all consuming both in memory record tasks and then delivery of information and procedures to help the sick, the suffering, the disabled, those on fixed incomes too ill to care for themselves, the mentally handicapped, glass stepped on, foreign bodies into the eyes, musculoskeletal systems, rashes, hypersensitivity reactions, autoimmune conditions, common ear, nose , throat, chest infections, to end organ dysfunctions, hypertension, elevated blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, endocrine to only mention a toe into the area of presentations.

Your editor wishes all Americans, no matter their persuasion the very best of luck, and would hope that we can begin to all work together as we did during the era of FDR, or JFK. little guy

OUR PRESIDENT IS REPUBLICAN AND WHAT IS THE STATE OF OUR NATION Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Soon we must vote for the next president of the United States.  We must examine their party and what influences them so we will understand what will happen to our nation and all areas of American life.  We know that the 'Republicans delivered us the worst housing situation since the great depression Do you believe that all the folks that lost, are losing their homes, and all the foreclosures will return to these who lost everything under another republican administration?

Also lets study the price of gasoline prior to the republican influence and control of the white house.  When our popular president was elected, the dealer costs/profit margin was 0.019 including an average sales tax of $0.129 dollars, State excise tax of $0.180, $0.183 Federal Excise Tax, $0.550 Refinery costs/profit margin, $0.716 Crude oil cost to equal total costs of $1.758 with the total retail price of $1.739 per gallon of best brands gasoline  This was from the largest driving state, California.  Thus, for our nation to return to the healthy state it was in prior to Republican leadership, gas at the pump would have to return to $1.74 per gallon.  Do you think another republican president can return us to such levels?  Not a chance!

What about our national debt and trade deficits?  We went from a three trillion surplus to the highest debt in our nations history with a total debt of $53 Trillion which is $175,154 per man, woman and child or $700,616 per family of 4, $33,781 more debt per family than even last year alone! Were you aware that last years total debt increased to 5.5 times more than our GDP? 

Were you aware that external debt owed to foreign interests increased to $2.2 trillion and our household, business and financial sector debt soared 7-11% while China improved its production by 11 percent!  Our debt soared 11% while China's production increased 11%!  Outrageous but true.  In other words under the republicans the $53 Trillion of debt in America is rising rapidly and the economy is 2-3 times more debt-dependent with $32 Trillion debt excess compared to prior debt ratios of pervious administrations.  Now hold on to your chair for last year's debt per family of four increased by $33,781, to $700,616.  And the republican plan has caused foreign interests or international ownership of U.S. debt to $12.5 Trillion which indicates foreign interests have more control over the US economy than Americans!

Not to be outdone by our debt, under republican leadership our national trade deficit has soured to $286,120,095,872.16 and climbing every second! This enormous size of the trade deficits over the last seven years raises the possibility of a severe international economic crisis should foreigners begin to dump the dollars they hold in world currency markets. 

Mc Cain gave a wonderful speech yesterday on healthcare for our veterans.  He knows about veterans.  But he also said he does not know much about the economy or economic matters.  Do you really believe that the republicans who are held hostage to Big Oil, Foreign trade business interests, their crazy free trade which builds other nations but diminishes our nation concomitant with a continuing super drain of our moneys due to their warring ways can help?  When we cannot even afford to continue to war all over the world, yet wish to do so while putting down the other parties ideas of using politics to further our gains as McCain has, do you wonder why it is difficult for thinking Americans to support the republican brand?  Words are fine, but absent wisdom they are meaningless and often pronounced wrong anyway.

When you vote folks, think about these few facts and vote wisely rather than politically.  Sure, oil will probably come down in the short term to make things look better, but will gas return to $1.75 a gallon?  No!  We need ethics and a new direction on all fronts to return our nation to its rightful place historically. little guy CFE

OBAMA FIRST DEM SINCE JFK WHO WON'T WASTE TAX DOLLARS WHILE MC CAIN AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE ADDICTED TO WASTING YOUR TAX DOLLARS ON THEMSELVES Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

The republicans and even some bitter folks who claim to be independents but obviously are republicans in sheep's clothing (Any one who makes their pundit living by advertising they are an independent but wishes their kudos' to Rush Limbaugh, is akin to his operation chaos, simply a republican in sheep's clothing) are bitter that Barack Obama realized that using taxpayers dollars to pay for a presidential candidates campaign was akin to waste and abuse of the reasons for taxation.  This was brilliant folks.  But the republicans appear to love to waste taxpayer dollars, openly support that you check that little box so that your dollars wont go to running the necessary programs needed by our nation such as eliminating the credit crunch, improving the situation for student loans, implementing programs to begin renewable energy/alternative energy solutions, a bit of drilling where it can't harm the health of our peoples, rebuilding our infrastructure such as new bridges, highways, and especially new levee's subsequent to learning from Katrina, creating a more rapid system for flood, hurricane, tornado or disaster relief and improve our homeland security which all create jobs, jobs, jobs. 

Mc Bush or Mc Cain is so lost on this issue that it appears that his entire campaign is become one big senior moment.  He is wrong on so many issues that its shocking.  Why only today, he openly criticized Obama for changing to the position of prudence when using our tax dollars.  Thus demonstrating Mc Cain and the republicans parties strategy for keeping themselves dependant on wasting our tax dollars on themselves, rather than on the important issue which face the nation.  This Journal solutes the first Democrat since JFK who refuses to waste our tax dollars on their own petty bid for President.  Now that is the prototypical example for demonstrating the wisdom to "change, accept new corrections and bend as the wisdom of science bends in the currents of new knowledge (The Strain of Athleticism, Scott D. Neff, Journal of the American Chiropractic Association-May 1981).  Congratulations Barack (JFK) Obama.  little guy

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 2008:

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic....Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit....Whoever undertakes to set himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.  ~ John F. Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow, Albert Einstein.

BEST SPEECHES CLEARLY GIVEN BY OBAMA'S, CLINTON AND CLINTON Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Well, this editor has been extraordinarily silent on recent events as things had to be played out.  It is clear, that if speeches by Obama, Obama, Clinton and Clinton were graded fairly relative to any of the republican comparable speeches, undoubtedly, the Obama's and the Clinton's are far more talented and more intellectual.  Mrs. Obama's speech revealed more in the way she spoke, her lovely speaking voice and her terrific speech hand gestures, and content then Sarah's kind of harsh or shrill voice.  Mrs. Obama's from the heart communications compared to the same old tired out Republican rhetoric voiced by Governor Sarah was apprecitated.  If we were to compare both proposed Vice President's speeches, the democrat for once in many many years, comes off as a seasoned and educated leader ready to help America.  Whereas Governor Sarah comes off as something only the Republicans could find competitive based on bias alone.  Yet, when one compares the reactions of the democrats with the republicans, republicans today still come off as cheerleader types who are overly vocal and excited about their candidates.  Whereas the Democrats who seemed to outnumber the republicans at the conventions by vast numbers, remained more reserved, more restrained, and not as excited at their respective conventions. 

The roles have somehow reversed.  Years back a conservative was the one who remained calm and reserved and the liberals were overly colorful and excitable.  How odd.  Thus, the speeches by both Clintons were outstanding, and clearly Bill was super when he did not have to speak about himself.  He was terrific.  A leg up from the pack. Yet the Dem's remained more reserved. 

Also it appears the Republicans are looking for things in their candidates which reminds them of themselves rather than wishing to change our nation to eliminate our debt to China or any foreign nation, improve our trade balances, revive homeland manufacturing, and simply bring our nation 180 degrees from where we have gone over the last eight years relative to "fiscal responsibility" We began with a three trillion dollar social security surplus to today's national debt to entities that do not have our best interests at heart.  Republicans are fired up to sell us again as they did before, and only time will tell how the nation will vote.  For example, both John and Sarah are good Americans and if they win they will receive support as we are all Americans.  Yet only the blind or the foolish (would have party win over nation-hypocritical and wrongheaded...!) wish to repeat or increase the fiscal direction this nation has taken. Yet no one brings that home to the voters.  Not even the Dems.

Frankly, the Dem's could win if they did nothing else but present the data to the American people in simple ways we all could understand.  That is the trick.  For this election has become about hockey mom's over trillions lost in Iraq, over a billion in cash stolen right out from underneath our leadership only to disappear in the sands of Iraq.  In other words, the wrong folks stole American tax dollars, and got away with it Scott free.  And this is only minor compared to foreign nations buying our national treasures such as railroads and military contracts giving away military secrets to foreign entitles where we can not police our private info 24/7, and have given away a means of distribution through the nation for dirty bombs and simply to much more.  Our borders are more porous then ever before because those that wish to commit crimes and cross our borders simply are a head of us technically and with intent.  While our laissez-faire attitude gives us estimates of crossing's absent a fair controlled border through simple fencing which could be monitored for trespassing simply by pressure sensors!  No one cared enough to prove we could be secure.  It's just all talk, hand outs of contracts for services which by the end of their testing failed homeland security, our nation, our people, and indeed any one who cares about America in deeds rather than words.  And truly too much more...!  Poison's coming into our nation from Mexico and China, and a drug agency with the name of food in it to mean vitamins or nutrients suddenly thrust into the position of policing our food absent a gun and the power to make such enforcement realistic.  In fact every thing appears to be geared to service foreign trade over anything American in the belief that that will help business.  But the overall picture of the outstanding Public Debt as of September 5, 2008 at 9:28:51 PM GMT was 9,670,084,396,968.22 dollars.  The estimated population of the United States is 304,674,012 so each citizen's share of this debt is $31,739.12. The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.93 billion per day since September 28, 2007.  That is unconscionable and should be the center piece of a debit on the future course of our nation.  And add that to a 480,830,414,748.56 dollars and cents trade deficit, and our complete political process seams gamed and absent much in the way of promise to turn things around.  Lets face it, there are only two major parties, one caused our national fiscal chaos, and thus the other should be a shoe in for change and hope for a reversal of fortunes.  Yet, the nightmare just keeps going on!

For example, it was actually very humorous to watch the Fox News coverage of the Democratic convention where they had primarily die hard Republicans on to comment on a democratic event!  They even herald the "architect" of our trade and national debt nightmares, as one to listen to again!  Its dumb.  But republicans could sell a fake donkey to a zoo!  And find ways to tell us what a good deal we received.  Its odd but true.  And this article is not intended to hound the Fox News corp. because I find them entertaining.  So they are entertaining but certainly do things and view the world in their own special way rather than the American Way through truly fair reporting.  It was a gas to see and hear Sean Hannity represent Fox as the anchor for some periods of the democratic convention.  In fact it was a hoot.  But what is shocking is that most folks perhaps did not see the humor, and rather fell into the trap of "thinking American" according to a news network rather than a news network sharing folks views.  They report by leading, which is odd, but somehow successful.  My view is that their success comes from being entertaining. 

Antithetically, Barack Obama is the first Dem in almost eight years who has the ability and mastery of the English language to be able to expose a "true" republican "lie" as a fib rather than getting sunk by the lie ("True Lies Syndrome" and tactics!-September 05, 2008 Neff).  For example the lipstick on a pig comment which had nothing to do with Governor Sarah, was morphed by the Republican machine into an attack against their female candidate because she happens to wear lipstick!  Outrageous but a successful tactic of the last eight years.  However this time, the candidate is able to place into words and communicate like a great communicator the facts which expose such Republican tactics.  In fact, in my day, folks on average were either more intelligent absent education or many folks today who fall for that stuff fail to realize that the republican tactic should be taken as a Freudian slip.  A demonstration of something they were trying to hide which was exposed..."an insecurity or realistic problem exposed"!  Only time will tell if Obama simply hammers the republicans on their fiscal failures as referenced above and continues to simply explain a false attack as such but in simple lay folks terms. "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened." ~ Winston Churchill - "little guy"

THE FUMBLING AND BUMBLING TIMES OF THE BUSH/CLINTON ERA Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Everyone, and that's everyone that writes this Journal, or to whom I have spoken to at length about the issues, agree, that since the Iraq War aftermath, our absence of political strategy and subsequently our military has fumbled and bumbled because we simply have a leadership vacuum; a time where no great leaders have either stepped forward or have proven their worth.  For God's sake all rational and responsible people know that the Obama rhetoric of "I would have not gone to war" and so forth has yet to offer a solution to the Iraq conundrum!  He is way out there garnishing the anti-war folks, when answers to problems are needed past tense due in this student's mind to Bush/Rumsfeld errors.  What we need is a candidate who is looking for or at least includes the thinking persons vote! 

But it is still early in the race yet only those with a plan which the people can scrutinize, could be considered for the next president of the United States of America.  Yes we have learned from our President, that all future candidates will have to offer us a plan which solves the problems facing our nation and not the witnessed old stale rhetoric filled with promises for your hopes and dreams with no roadmap to get there.

Hillary, one of so much talent, promise, and ability curiously delivers so very little relative to common sense, has "thus far" posted her answer to solving the Iraq conundrum; complete pull out upon presidency absent contingency for anything!  And of course President Bush, who simply did not listen to our finest minds at the pentagon who were eliminated or suffered early retirements, implemented the now famous Custard/Rumsfeld plan of too few troops because we have better small arms, continues raising and lowering troop levels like band-aids over a large wound not understanding that the elimination of the cause of the bleed solves the problem!  Not one of the top candidates has delivered a plan which ends our overall troop involvement in Iraq, leaves Iraq relatively stable, and cleans up the mess our president made, done consciously or unconsciously.

If we had gone in with 250,000 troops we would have been out in at the worst case scenario, in three years, with bases, and popular support.  But we went in undermanned and under armed relative to "short wave frequency detectors", built into every vehicle to detect land mines, bombs, hidden guns, ammo as well equipped with super glass (glass which will stop rifle and gun fire from vehicle occupants), full body armor for all combatants, also equip positions with robot munitions assault forces to animate positions with return fire while tanks and heavy arms move in to surround any combative position, clear the streets, maintain marshal law until control is regained, and commence Iraqi takeover of their own country.  But this never happened and still cannot as long as we put in too few troops.  Where is the champion for the people with the most common sense military strategy proven over and over again by the greatest generals in history?  And combine that with our techno superiority, again we are out in six months from today relative to large ground forces, and the drawdown would commence.  Yet every day we waffle delays our exiting from Iraq.

Our readers have yet to see any candidate sound like a President who could solve our problems with an open plan everyone can understand.  We know what front runners thus far would do, simply extremes of the same continuum!  What we don't know is who will lead us out of our problems solving them as we go and not abandoning them or ignoring them as the Obama/Clinton/Bush recorded rhetoric has.  In fact with these recordings in hand, watch the flip flopping begin with these folks as the fact is no rational nor responsible plan has yet to be placed into the public record save some sound bites which appear promising from that citizen of the city which doesn't sleep, that wonderful town, proven mob destroyer and leader, Rudy Giuliani.  Edwards sounds great on most things absent the Iraq conundrum. 

However after watching the Dem's and Republicans self mutilate for about 20 years now, and then send up the richest most big business tied candidates, and not simply those dedicated to quietly solving all of America's most vexing problems absent all the pomp and circumstance, bodes we may end of with the same old picks again;  Hillary who is very talented, and then a Bush again after her.  Perhaps you, the American voters can prove this prognostication or observation wrong which would make this editor pleasantly happy.  However and again, until proven otherwise the era of the "Fumbling and Bumbling times " continues.  Well, that's how it looks from here at the Journal bureau, February 3rd, 2007. little guy

NEW STRATEGY SURROUND & POUND Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Ok, well lack of common sense is not held as an exclusive and seems to be contagious relative to the Iraq War aftermath.  Please, every time you see our US kids in a gun, rifle, small cannon and so forth battle, as we see daily, think "moron moment", and first compare this with the old cowboy movies which appears to be the strategy of this military, and then picture in your minds eye that in every conflict or skirmish of the type we have witnessed both in Iraq and Afghanistan, our forces send in not what we have witnessed, but enough to completely surround the position of conflict and handle it with our 110 gun ships, mortar, tank , high tech weapons (Air and land based 110 Gun vehicles!) and so forth, and send in the ground troops only in overwhelming numbers to fight and to  reclaim the bodies or prisoners!  Think of using overwhelming force for those facing the US military in all circumstances.  We must end this debacle sooner rather than later so we can resume living in peace and harmony with all of our neighbors.

End the foolishness now, and lets all join together to correctly end the violence, let the Iraq government take over to police themselves with our aid if needed, and get out in six months.  Or fumble and bumble about as we are.  Sending back a few troops here and there aids the turkey shoot mentality of the old west.  End the daily General Custard/Rumsfeld error (Identical situation with the same flaw; We are more modern than the opposition and thus can win with few troops.).  It is time to employ "Surround & Pound" (01-28-2007), today's strategy.

It is now perfectly clear, that together, using the outline above we can end the violence in Iraq and Afghanistan in short order with proper strategy akin to the General Ike Plan rather than the Custard/Rumsfeld plan.  Today our challenge is a horrific clean up mission against multiple fronts of varying religious and even foreign origins, which we can accomplish (our Democratic patriotic and humanitarian designs.) in short order, freeing our military to again, deploy for obstacles' and needs of today or those which may arise in a mixed up world.  We can do this friends, but we must do it together.    little guy

WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE FOLKS

Shortly after President Bush announced his new direction in Iraq, a brazen assault 50 miles south of Baghdad was launched on Jan. 20 by a group of nine to 12 militants playing dress up as US soldiers fooling three checkpoints to kill and kidnap our children fighting for Iraqis in Iraq.  They traveled in black GMC Suburban vehicles of the type used by US government convoys, had our American weapons, wore new U.S. military combat fatigues and spoke English according to AP. 

Clearly our Government is using the Inspector Clouseau method for protecting US soldiers.  "Contrary to U.S. military statements, four U.S. soldiers did not die repelling the sneak attach at the governor's office in the Shiite holy city of Karbala last week as we were told.  No, new information obtained by the Associated Press shows they were abducted and found dead or dying as far as 25 miles away."  This is heinous management of our soldiers in harms way and a complete investigation must commence. 

This daring commando team also took an unclassified U.S. computer with them as they fled with the four soldiers and left behind an American M-4 rifle, senior U.S. military officials said.  It has now been firmly established that two US soldiers were found in one of the abandoned SUV's handcuffed back to back and executed in a cowardly horrific manner, while one other soldier was found dead in another SUV finding a fourth child of America mortally wounded only to die soon under the best emergency care.

For over four years this Journal and its members have advocated either using overwhelming force in Iraq which in our view is "trying to accomplish the deed" or pull out due to a half hearted try which has killed and wounded too many of our nations loves.  What is it going to take for all of us to unite under the common sense approach of either we try to and subsequently quell the Iraq conundrum so the Iraq Government can easily take over, which would mean sending in overwhelming forces for the relative proportions, function under military strategic doctrine which would include a political solution concomitant with all activities so all actions meet in the final destination of a sovereign Iraq, and in control or stop the hypocrisy which is politically driven rather than intellectually.  Let us all join together for common sense answers to the difficult problems which face our nation.  And then move on to make this the best world it can be. little guy

MY LITTLE GUY VIEW OF 2006; Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

As I look out at Christmas to view our world, I remember all of the Christmas past, especially during my youth, which were so wonderful and yes compared to the present world, like an imaginary dream.  And, not dreams at all. 

Yet, here we are, in a costly global and Iraq war, restricted in our options and choices.  I like options and choices.  I was taught in the US and believe in the US that, love is stronger than hate and forgivingness more powerful than evil or even war.  Truth is our salvation over time.  And always leave oneself options!

Wars are too long.  It’s causing the same effects as the Vietnam War.  Women killing mothers to steal babies through horrific butchering, bizarre spectacle violence on the airwaves with basketball players attacking the audience and each other, children executing adults, husbands dismember pregnant wives and own baby, senators of the republican persuasion hunting our children, predators on the rise, are the types of predictable symptoms I warned about over the last few years now.  The human psyche needs normal bounds.  Citizens around the globe are lost.  And, I don't necessarily like being right so often, either!

The boundaries of modern civilized behavior were breached a “bit” by our over retaliation, prison abuse scandals, massive number of deaths, a huge disproportionate numbers of dismembered lost hand, foot, limb etc injuries in this war because the primary weapons used are IED's or suicide deaths.  War against terrorism was indeed correct.  But almost a Trillion for Iraq?  Bush and his followers were, and are simply off.

In any event, now absent the consideration of our simply bringing law enforcement to the terrorists, it had to be done yet in a dignified humane manner in which not only they were either justly killed or jailed while simultaneously made to look like the lost, psychologically deranged small fools, the scum they became, embarrassed for their stupidity and so much more, which actually unveils the religious-zelot fraud and exposes themselves to the world as wrong, off tract, sinful and vile.

But no, we ended up hated around the globe by the little folks because they can see only a callous cold and uncaring entity who will rationalize publicly while 23,000 of their soldier children  become dismembered and handicapped for life, their one chance to have fun and live as the lord designed absent a Bush War handicap to cope with, concomitant with almost three thousand now dead sons and daughters of America to build a free land for others while steeling the freedom to live from our children, and by the end of the day, in the best case scenario have another partner who believes in hatred and subsequently death of their own peoples who are a tiny bit different to anyone who is different!  And that’s unacceptable to this little folk as obvious as it has become for foreigner little folks.  Folks must change from within psychologically, learn to love life, and appreciate the diversity of man's ideas as long as they are constructive, and progress medicine and science, mankind, freedom, hope, the right to have faith if one so chooses, try to live within our laws as created by the people and for the people.  Life should be geared toward the people and not the greed of the few or the tyranny of the terrorists.  Leaders must lead by example not vengeance!  Terrorist's who destroy society must be arrested (or captured if able...), arraigned, tried and convicted rather than our own self mutilation of our children's destiny used to over avenge that which was over.  Justice rather than vengeance is this Journals calling.  Albeit we as a nation have much to overcome especially while one large news conglomerate continues to advise the people only in the Bush directions guised in a package especially designed for you!  Almost a "Trillion Dollars spent" in Iraq with no dollar end point plan projected and very little in the way of new World Terrorist arrests since the end of the exceedingly efficient and effective short War!  Antithetically however, an equally bungled Iraq War aftermath relative to consistent absolute proportions.  Completely and unequivocally bungled.  Unequivocally, indisputably, indubitably, absolutely, and undeniably, bungled war aftermath!  And "you just cant make this kind of stuff up!"

My view of the world for Christmas, and hope for the New Year is we must become ourselves again, and prosecute this war like sophisticated Americans, at the top of the world evolutionary chain and not silly, outclassed imaginary cowboy folklore characters.  Some how, that is how we actually look to the world. 

Merry Christmas and hopes for all, that this world, can have the best 2007 it can be.  And God Bless America. “little guy” -Addendum 12-27-2006.   The Judeo-Christian religion, like a beacon of hope in a world not understood by its inhabitants, teaches that change can be rewarded by forgivingness and a new start.

PONDER RELEVANT TEST QUESTION

A lady wishes to lower her LDL cholesterol.  An unfortunate quack alternative TO THE NORMAL COMPLIMENTARY care practitioner advises her to diet and cut out all fats but still eat carbohydrates. On the surface this appears quite reasonable to the lay person.  Yet, will she lower her LDL (Bad) Cholesterol? 

Dietary fat yield lipoproteins which become blood chylomicrons.  Yet Dietary Carbohydrates yield the VLDL's which in turn produce, IDL and LDL Cholesterol.  Because LDL comes from Carbohydrates construct and not Fat, this patient will then gain enormously high LDL cholesterol levels and obvious worsening disease consequences.  Care which was illegal just a few years ago, has become the modus operand for today's huckster bringing back the old mantra, Caveat Emptor or Buyer Beware; Folks be careful.

Well, can any reader opine what the most important job our Vice President performs?  What function does he/she carry out which is the most important act and the purpose for our Vice President?  It is to become president should some fateful event preclude our president from functioning any further during his/her term.  Clearly, Obama's choice for VP could step right in an make a great president.  His experience is second to none.  And then we now have McCain's choice, and I must opine that she hardly could have run for or become President in anyone's wildest imaginations save John McCain.  In fact, with that view only, Sarah almost appears humorous save she is a real human being with her own talents and abilities.  In fact no matter how good this newcomer to politics, she is hardly one which the people would have chose to be President, if they had been asked.  Pity.  Because if and when John were to become President, should some unforeseen event occur where John would be precluded from continuing as president, his actions have actually thrown our nation to the fates.   And that is and remains to be imprudent, demonstrates an absence of vision, and failed we the people, in at least one important reason to consider someone for the next Vice President of the United States. lg

After hearing Barack Obama's wonderful speech in Germany, this editor wanted to say Barack Obama for President!  But, he is running for president.  There is one thing which is certain, Barack can deliver a speech which is literally light years ahead of John McCain on his best day.  Will the republican sour grapes and foolishly jealous pundits find fault and weakness in a speech which was strong, realistic and not only historically correct, but spot on for the hopes, dreams and aspirations of people today?  Well of course.  Because they have become small like little children who have not matured and must nanner nanner because silliness and absence of wisdom is their privilege as children.  And as adults they have become embarrassing for any intellectual to witness.  Great job Barack Obama, you can make Americans loved again around our globe and in our times.  Good luck and great job. lg

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear little guy,

I am a life long democrat who believes that the party is being poorly represented.  My parents would tell me just how tough FDR had to be to accomplish what he did.  Yet when I look out for help I find no one defending the principals of honesty in government, accountability, equity and the simple act of helping Americans first, symbolizing to me at least weakness in my Democratic representatives!  Lord knows the Republicans will try to impeach the next president simply because he is a democrat!  They tried to impeach the greatest president in my lifetime, bar none, and I believe Bill governed the way he did because as you write, he had a higher intellect.  I believe Mr. Clinton, with his faults, was much above any of the republicans. 

My first question to you is, "why are my Democrats so spineless in the face of the worst presidential catastrophe in our History?" 

No matter what our president touches it turns to crap while rampant graft and cronyism bring new profits for Bush related industries reaching all time highs while the working men and women, everyday folks as you call them, worry much about making ends meet to the extent that it becomes "all consuming" and then are unable to take time to help make change.  Or even write you as I have today.

My second question is, "why wont the Democrats impeach the worst president in our history?"

Betty

Dear Betty,

Thank you for writing.  In the past I would have said that "impeachment" was bad for our nation!  And because this is the old lesson from President William Jefferson Clintons experience, the notion lingers.  And Betty I truly believe that.  However that notion has worn out with all the absence of care for the dead on all sides, all the maiming on all sides, all of the anticipated death, maiming and destruction absent a conscience, resulting in our great American spirit arising akin to a new-age phoenix on gargantuan gossamer wings, granting us now, the "able patience" to make government whole again.  We can do it!

Antithetically, Mr. Bush's terms have been so bad for our nation; 911's horrific experience in what was for most Americans, a wonderful world Betty, a wonderful loving world absent all the racism, and then Bush's response which failed to simply catch Bin-laden, and the culmination of all of "juniors" efforts was to make our world a horrible, unsafe, unloving "planet" where racism has raised its ugly head because Bush taught the world you can rationalize reasons to expect several hundred thousand folks to die if one attacked Iraq, rationalize reasons for all our children to become maimed for life or die in what simple folks think of as patriotism but the apparent national interest is increased profits for big Oil and its service related industries, rationalize ties for future entitlements for Bush actions today, and frankly taught the world you can rationalize ones inactions in the face of Katrina and the other disasters, rationalize why President Clinton and Big All Gore were correct at protecting the social security lockbox at 3 trillion in solvency when Bush took that money and the fund is always being drained only to be solvent on a daily basis based on the days revenue, rationalize why on his watch he would send in our children to battle but first not secure the medical and hospital needs which would be anticipated when you send children to die, and rationalizations for sending only Hispanic-American police to jail if they arrest illegal trespassers while carrying enormous amounts of illegal drugs while setting the criminals free to maim and kill again all at the request of Mexico, rationalize why Americans who say don't spend our money on illegal's ignore the people and grant illegal's greater rights than citizens, or rationalize why crime of a heinous nature is now up in horrific crazed avenues as it has never been in our nation before, and rationalize away just about any problem with the same old tired saying that the other side is making politics while junior has made politics out of our very existence causing the great middle class to suffer and frankly too much more in this vein...

Thus, I believe perhaps save Kennedy, that the rest of the Dem's are just recovering from the shock junior put us all through and with the likes of that great American, in the vein of Rosa Parks "strength" the honorable John Conyers and with the honorable Charles Schumer apparently recovering first evidenced by his exemplary logic, concomitant with true heroes today, California Republicans who will remain unnamed for our intent relative to Dems, that Dem's are now undergoing a recovery akin to one going to the Doctor of Chiropractic where suddenly, the spine returns to health, and order and accountability may return in kind.

Relative to your second question, because our life in the US under junior and directly attributable to junior and his advisors actions is an "un-American environment absent basic civil rights as anticipated by our founding fathers", an impeachment hearing may at least occur because as you say, Mr. Clinton's experience set the standard and in reality, junior's actions made life miserable.  Conversely the honorable President Clinton first and foremost, was a great President by most folks accounts where the majority prospered and he made the world a loving place in which to live.  Relative to his one failure, he stroked folks ego if they were of the type to remain faithful to their love and subsequently wished for truth to return to the oval office never expecting a continual Bush and Bush representative barrage of untruths done consciously or unconsciously coming directly from the oval office and its surroundings.  However, your point is well noted, if the Dem's don't try to return order and sanity to our nation, it bodes poorly for the next presidency no matter who is the winner (Your favorite was W J Clinton, mine are John Fitzgerald Kennedy extraordinaire, Ronald Reagan all around good guy, Gerald Ford restoration of faith extraordinaire, and William Jefferson Clinton, a man who tried, in that orderRemember it was this Journal only that fought tooth and nail against the Clinton Impeachment (Remember Air force-one!) even though he was not my candidate.  Why?  Unlike Bush's actions, I never felt that his attempt to protect a woman's image, and perhaps three women's images raised to the level of an Impeachable offence.  In my God loving heart, I believe it is apparent the Lord is against "JUNIOR" and perhaps demonstrating it on his supporters who one by one have fallen by the wayside to protect junior.  If not, it's outside my faith and thus fate...).  

Thank you Betty, you actually have given me much to think about and will perhaps update my answer.  But I especially appreciate your crystal ball on the republicans willing to impeach any Democratic President!  Acknowledging that, I must bid you adieu, but again, God Bless, and thank you for writing.  Indeed.

THE EVIL REACH OF THE MULTI-HEADED MULTI-TENTACLE MONSTER MEXICO IS ELIMINATING HISPANIC AMERICAN POLICE

Last month this journal reported on the unbelievable act of injustice where "The American Mexican Hit man" enforced the heinous notion that all Mexican Americans must fear the reach of injustice even into America by the evil Mexican Government.  And the proof is it happened, Sutton responded and supported that evil monster to our south over his upbringing to support truth, justice, motherhood, apple pie, our US Constitution, and law enforcement over the pond scum of the earth; cartel drug dealer and kidnapped child smugglers.  Yet actual bigotry and evil profiling against one of our nations minorities occurred under Bush.  Get it now!  Bigotry against Mexican Americans by Bush's government and Mexico.  It is clear cut racism at its very worst; profiling American Hispanic law enforcement only!

How can we allow the evil tentacles of the Mexican monster to terrorize legal American citizens?  How can we allow Mr. Bush to continue to support an evil empire threatening and successfully breaking our law and enforcing Mexican law in the US by imprisoning any Hispanic law enforcement person who stops an illegal alien.  That is what is happening.  Bigotry and dirty rotten evil aimed only at Hispanic-American officers knowing the attack against a Bush look alike would be exposed.

Is President Bush and his AG in violation of Article Six of the Constitution as more and more US Law Schools study the issue? Did they allow Mexico to intervene and issue their supreme law over our land and people and have Sutton enforce said impeachable offence?  Indeed.

Mr. Sutton must be imprisoned for his actions, and all persons in support be impeached before hypocrisy destroys our nation.   Police, Border Agents, DEA, FBI, CIA, SS, FTC, FCC, Military Police and Sheriff's of Hispanic or Mexican American heritage remember, the Academy For Justice supports you.

But lets further say that the forces that be in Iraq today fully understand Bush junior's strategy and thus it makes it moot.  Now this is only a let's say rather than what is or what will be.  Ok, let us say then we need a counter strategy.  You see, even if Bush continues until the end of his presidency as is and no matter if he wins "a" peace during his term or the next presidents, would it not be disastrous and thus reasonable to assume that whomever Bush announced would follow us home is and has concomitant with his slogan and that it is only a waiting game on their part for us to pull out?  Especially with our wide open borders.  With this common sense realization, then whether we stay the course or not no longer is a key consideration in winning the war on terrorism.  In fact, America could do equally well with either course at this point because only a nation willing to secure its place, will!  Further Bush was instrumental in having elections and an Iranian leaning person was elected.  And thus even we leave, absent having a democratically leaning person in charge, there is no guarantee Iraq would not be a haven for our enemies.  Had we won the day with enough troops years ago, Bush's wishful thinking would have had some expectations for success.  But now we have to be smarter as you must admit by now that Bush has been and continues to be bated by the insurgents especially Iran.  What planet are your advisors from and its time to ask them to leave our hood!  In other words the way out of the mess is no longer military only.  The military is simply a pacifier at this point and wasting the blood of America is wrong. 

Of course as history now demonstrates the Academy position was correct from the get go on troop numbers and results.  However you have the military fighting a "spy's" game, you have broken the heart of your own spy agency sir, and had distanced yourself from a political solution.  Thus, let the generals continue as is for now, bring all the power of the Dem's in which I advised months ago, to come up with a spy and political solution backed by special forces.  Why?  We learned any time we wish and within a few days this great nation has the power to overthrow and return to Iraq victorious at a moments notice.  And the insurgents know this but have been banking on the fact that "our president" simply never realized it nor used its card! Thus Bush for the first time in history lost America's trump card, "fear" by sitting their in Iraq stuck in the mud of the situation psychology in play.  We must change that situation psychology and if Bush continues the way he is it can never happen.  Waiting games are for losers unlike all generals that served prior to your presidency.  Its time for action in a united way. Bush and his hit men network divided America.  Try uniting Americans (only focus on legal Americans from now on...) and watch the genius spill out of our rich heritage.  Sadly today there are many brilliant though spineless Dem's if Bush would simply listen.   If Bush changed, the world would change for the better.  But change starts at the top and the President of the United States is the top officer on this planet.  Thus our president could begin acting like the powerful world leader rather than someone who only knows how to send in the military like a big lug!  This was just let's say, so no matter what, let us hope the very best comes out for America and Americans. 

WHY OUR POPULAR PRESIDENTS PLAN WAS DEAD WRONG AND DESTRUCTIVE TO AMERICA Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." Ben Franklin

Folks, there is a multiplicity of wrongs committed by junior relative to strategic goals.  The old saying you broke it you fix it is not exactly accurate but as the saying goes, one with intellect is to understand the severe warning by such a saying.  For example not only did junior break the Iraq Government System which is what that saying alludes to, he also broke the back of all the infrastructure within Iraq and Afghanistan; museums, roads, pluming, sewage, sewage treatment centers, water control for sewage and drinking, electoral grids, gas lines, underground structures such as aqueducts, phone lines and companies, sewer lines, libraries, every manner of business and trade, and as a result, junior must rebuild the entire nation as if 'it" were America!   Now ask where's the Dem's "beef"?!

Thus these morons have stole necessary money to rebuild these same infrastructure failures within the US due to old age.  Junior sacrificed all of the minorities and the poor citizens of America during Katrina and the other storms, as well as the Veterans Medical System as he secretly owns Iraq and Afghanistan (as well as adopting any country which plays upon his childlike inner character and acts nice like Mexico so he adopts Mexico over the US.  He acts like someone who needs immediate self gratification.) and thus all our extra money was used up or saved for future Iraq needs rather than spending the money on our own people.  Heinous examples of realty.  It actually happened and continues to happen!

No matter your position, you want to pull out of Iraq sooner rather than later or you want to stay the course, the American people, those vast hundreds of millions who never appear on Fox or CNN, the diminishing great American symbol of success the great middle class suffers horrifically from the Iraq/Afghanistan expenditures.  American homeland security and prophylactic infrastructure needs including the money to find secure voting machines, consistency in law (a poor cancer  women in California is being prosecuted by the feds for needing her medical  cannabis yet drug smugglers bringing in less than 500 pounds go free...we  have lost our freedom and common sense...) aid for our manufacturers when there is foreign government sponsored competition, and fair trade policies for our American industry who competes with the Chinese Government backed businesses rather than today's defined free trade which equates to American business competing with its hands behind its back and so much more it is as if we have not had a President for Six years....but oh there is Iraq as a junior reflex to 911!  So weird and so odd that crony businesses and friends of junior et al benefited superlatively while the poor and the middle class of America sank deeper and deeper into credit card debt, bad housing loans, and lost dreams.  The reality for hundreds of millions of Americans is that our own leaders are pathetic and  disgraceful.

Education  for our toddlers to our college graduates is hurting, the psyche of the American public has been damaged to the extent that heinous crimes are on the rise for the first time in 100 years under junior; kidnapping of children right out of the uterus of live women, pedophilia, and heinous crimes on a continuum of expanding events unanticipated by the normal expectations for life. 

The nation was left in such a mess that we appear to be left with zero choices for the next president. Lets face it, 100 million up front money just to begin the run for President.  Guess that leaves you and me out even if we had the right stuff to solve the nations problems and lead us to happiness.

Who will be the first from either side of the isle to speak forward and advance new and good ideas but condemn junior so common sense is recalled.  Once we regain common sense, we can begin to regain the hearts and minds of all folks outside of America.  Once we regain their hearts and minds, an ever diminishing number of terrorists will occur with it becoming harder and harder to recruit people for suicide which is a sin.  Only the arrogance of man believes he should interrupt the divine plan of living to your genes potential as planned by the lord prior to ones birth. 

Lets join the fight for common sense and stop the junior rhetoric which has caused almost irreparable damage to our world image, world stature, and homeland quality of life and security.

REPUBLICANS AND MCCAIN HAD IT BACKWARDS ON IRAQ Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Well, this journal had found support by Obama done consciously or unconsciously as it was clear some two years ago, that the President of Iraq wanted our troops out.  Of course our popular president and all the Republican pundits, that would be Fox and CNN white washed the truth indicating that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki only stated such matters as a political screen to remain popular with his people; in other words only humoring them, much like the republicans and their pundits do to the American people, and actually and secretly was supporting our popular President, as well as the republican line.  This Journal then and now consistently called this nonsense and actually became tired of fighting the political status quo.  For g-d's sake this editor is making a profession change which by all intent and purposes, is often the most difficult thing a person can do, especially if it is to undertake the most difficult critical thinking task, that of entering the field of "MD" medicine.  An awful lot on the plate so to speak.  When suddenly, along came Barack Obama, who has consistently called for a troop withdrawal from Iraq consistent with the voice of the Iraqi Prime Minister.

Well, during candidate Obama's ground breaking tour of the middle east, he and al-Maliki agreed on the pull out plan.  This completely abolishes McCain's positions as well as the republican line.  There is one thing I do disagree with Obama and Maliki on, and this is unpopular by the left, but it is histories truth, that "what the world needed now was not only love sweet love, but an American Base to support the fledgling new democracy".  Which history has proven 100 percent successful in all nations where such American bases were established.  Yes, reduce American troops to a conscionable level, give our soldiers a chance to recuperate from this unbelievable (Would not have been unbelievable if we had a larger military, but we were stretched too far by ethical standards of protecting and indeed proving our love for our soldiers in the field) Iraq war strategy. 

Antithetically, after we defeated Saddam's military, we tried to maintain the peace with too few troops as the entire Iraqi policing forces were demolished.  Another brain dead act.  So this Journal immediately called for increased troops, and indeed after this Journal hammered against Lou Dobbs nightly for supporting too few troops, (if this editor has the time, I will try to make the several years of his advocacy for too few troops in Iraq into a file which can be played on the internet), albeit he was far from alone.  It was years later that Mc Cain joined in our call.  And received his due credit as such.  Yet today, when the need is for far more troops in Afghanistan, albeit this journal would like to see them come from the world powers in lieu of our forces, they must be found.  Period!

This journal never liked the term surge as it is idiosyncratic of the  foolish policy and high death count bailed out by a word.  Yes the word surge was used to erase all the foolish planning, and indeed is being scapegoated for Afghanistan today.  Drop the word surge, and bring the necessary peace keeping forces for Afghanistan, while withdrawing needless and wasteful troop numbers in Iraq, while convincing Iraq's prime minister of the historical benefit for a Yankee Doodle Dandy base in Iraq.  Lets say there is a flair up of insurgents and Iraq needs help.  Well it would not cost an arm and a leg if we could simply fly supplies or manpower in to an established base.  Rather than re-inventing the wheel.  Finally, American bases have proven an economic boon for the countries in which they reside.  Ask Germany for example.

Thus, McCain and the republicans are wrong on keeping the volume of troops up in Iraq during the next two years, this is now a proven fact by the Iraqi Prime Ministers agreement with Barack, but we also need to establish a safety net for Iraq based on world history and the success of American bases around the globe.lg

A BARACK OBAMA PRESIDENCY COULD SOLVE WHAT AILS AMERICA DONE NATURALLY THE AMERICAN WAY Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Barack Obama for president is good for America, better than the best republican can come up with using all their hearts and all their souls.  You see, it's good for America to have an Afro-American President.  It proves to the world that we are what our founding fathers said we are in the words no other's have said as well in history, nor as well even today!  That "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this...for the United States of America."  Why folks, that was for all Americans. "Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the states present the seventeenth day...in the year of our Lord".... 

Why our most cherished beliefs were by unanimous consent, under our Lord, and thus for all Americans.   We have in all of our hearts "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."  Why if Barack Obama were President it would say to the terrorists, you lose your arguments of the most holy and sacred, because if your children grew up here, they could become president as well. 

No words uttered by any republican today could provide for such truths or establish such justice for all the world to behold.   A Barack Obama Presidency would take any ill winds out of the terrorists sails, and no Republican, based on the but-heads theory of war, which by the end of the day only proves, those on the side that remains alive with their forces intact is the winner;   His Presidency would remove cause for the ill of mind, the lost cause for hate, the belief that any prophet did not love all of the lords creations, which is what all religions share as well as our great American inheritance, "as all were created under g-d and indivisible... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".  Sure the profits made different promises, but all religious are humble under the eternal.  Above all hosts, the lord is who is the final judge and not any of his prophets, so cherished and so loved. 

For in our hearts lives the words "Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal".  Folks, that's "life" under the lord or in our existence, all folks created equal.  With Barack Obama as president, all the words so cherished in our hearts, so defended by "our soldiers" and free men everywhere across the globe suddenly become insured and a proven guarantee of our reality within "our society".  His election is bigger then he, and bigger than everyone but the union of "we the people...that hold these truths to be self-evident" and then proven by our American System and way of life, again dedicated and proven by a Barack Obama election "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."  And all folks, around the earth, could share and celebrate in the proof that we are dedicated to equality, removing any stone in the path of peace, for all folks, created equally in our times and in everyone's reality or existence.  And done naturally, the American Way.  May G-d Bless "our" America, and may her promises be shared by all. little guy

A traditional Mexican American man is diagnosed with severe pneumonia.  He says "no take penicillin" because he advised "it wont work"!  Which of the following beliefs most likely explains why he thinks the prescribed medicine will not be effective.

A.  The patient does not trust gringo physicians.

B.  The patient believes pneumonia is incurable.

C.  Pneumonia is a hot illness and penicillin is a hot medicine.

D.  Pneumonia is a hot illness and penicillin is a cold medicine.

Answer C is correct.  For some traditional Mexican American immigrants, illness is viewed as being caused by an imbalance of hot and cold within the human body.  To regain balance, a hot pneumonia would be treated with a cold medicine.  Thus,  understanding the patient begins communication which in turn creates the proper doctor patient relationship necessary for the patient to be cured expediently.  Good luck.

WEEKEND WORDS FOR 03-02-2007

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat...The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. President Teddy (Theodore) the "rough rider" Roosevelt and John Powell Editor's note to readers; Before becoming President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He resigned in 1898 to organize the Rough Riders, the first voluntary cavalry in the Spanish-American War. The U.S. was fighting against Spain over Spain's colonial policies with Cuba. Roosevelt recruited a diverse group of cowboys, miners, law enforcement officials, and Native Americans to join the Rough Riders. They participated in the capture of Kettle Hill, then charged across a valley to assist in the seizure of San Juan Ridge, the highest point of which is San Juan Hill.  A few days after Theodore led the Rough Riders' charge up San Juan Hill , the Spanish fleet fled Cuba. It was just a matter of weeks before the war had ended and the U.S. was victorious.    little guy

C.  Production of integrase

D.  Production of RNA polymerase during the initial neuron infection.

E.  Can't produce DNA polymerase during initial neuron infection.

The correct Answer is E, cannot produce DNA polymerase during initial neuron infection.  The diagnosis was herpes labials, HSV due to ennervation neuron latent-recurrent infections.  Latency results because the neuron allows only latency-associated transcript (LAT) RNA but no proteins.  Activation of the neuron promotes progression into the replicative cycle and viral protein synthesis occurs.

"Are you, sir knight, perchance, in love?" inquired the Knight of the Wood. "To my woe, I am, though the sorrows arising from well-placed affections should be accounted blessings rather than calamities"...To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy one must love, or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. Are you getting this down?

On Sunday, December 7th, 1941 the Japanese launched a surprise attack against the U.S. Forces stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii . By planning his attack on a Sunday, the Japanese commander Admiral Nagumo, hoped to catch the entire fleet in port.  As luck would have it, the Aircraft Carriers and one of the Battleships were not in port. (The USS Enterprise was returning from Wake Island, where it had just delivered some aircraft. The USS Lexington was ferrying aircraft to Midway, and the USS Saratoga and USS Colorado were undergoing repairs in the United States.).  View history now @ InfoJustice.

MR. BILL O'REILLY AND RACHEL MADDOW  Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Last evening sometime after 10, while watching the very patriotic Rachel Maddow Show, she had a guest who began to um between thoughts.  Consistent with my speaking style absent um's and drilled into me by my grade school teachers, immediately the channel was changed to Mr. O'Reilly,  To my surprise his show was terrific!  He was funny, witty, but as predicted he had one of the other Republican News channel guests.  Oh boy this examiner thought, here we go again.  Another Hannity-like show.  It was Glen Beck.  Now this examiner had heard that Glen Beck had changed from a normal journalist to a Rush Limbaugh wannabe to get his ratings.  But do to his time slot had not had the opportunity to evaluate him.  To my surprise he was a gentlemen, was funny, and both Bill and he agreed with my published opinions on folks taking Tarp who then must abide by tarp rules.  To me this is wrong.  Let these fools go bankrupt so that a better business will immerge.  This has kept American business the best in the world.  However, the bailout experiments take us into the unknown.  However and again, they both agreed with this examiner and even President Obama's recent decision to ask those executives who take taxpayer dollars to then follow the evolving Tarp rules and cut their compensations while being employees of the "we the people".  This examiner was impressed by both.

Of course to my dismay, Mr. O'Reilly then went into his dumbest events of the week section which was in and of itself dumb with this gal making dumb faces which of course brought this examiner back to Rachel.  Rachel advised how only the alleged news but really talk shows like Hannity, Beck etc were the problem as they were anti-US Government , never gave constructive criticism but rather said awful awful things directed at Mr. Obama and our own flag (government).  Where by she gets the Patriot award from the most patriotic designed site on the globe, which Dobbs, O'Reilly, Hannity etc all copied years after my developing this format , and in fact Dobbs and O'Reilly copied me to become independents years after this editor had.  But the point is I was happy about O'Reilly as the guy does stuff with class most of the time, and was shocked that Beck seemed kind of ok by me!

We (my lady and I) fell asleep and forgot to turn off the TV.  Suddenly in the middle of the night I was awoken by someone howling, speaking so fast it sounded like a hyperactive retard, and I sat up to see what the very anxious, hyperactive idiot was talking about.  The first thing I noticed was it was Glen Beck!  He was ranting and raving, lost his cool throughout, seemed classless, and anti-American.  This was the same guy that just hours earlier had agreed with commonsense that the tarp was bad, but if someone was to take it they should abide by tarp rules.  He also echoed my now 12 year published fight to protect our borders and ports (When I ghost wrote the Book Tales of the Rails, Railroad Claim Stories by Norman Udewitz-Arbitrator for the Association of American Railroads to resolve disputes between the Canadian National Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railroad and many other disputes about land and writes between Canada, the US and Mexico etc)  for the head of Claims and Investigations for then Union Pacific Railroad , I had learned the importance of guarding our ports since railcars take goods from the ports and send them through the nation).  Further since my Home was along the ocean in Palos Verdes, I was close to the Port of San Pedro and dirty bombs were always a point of discussion.  My friends and I had discussed issues that were far ahead of our times.  In any event these were important issues which remain unattended to, through this very day.  Beck had brought up the issue of Republicans failing during the Bush administration to actually secure our borders proving they were weak on national security.  Beck sounded good.  Now, on his own show he was horrible.  This examiner turned the TV off falling to sleep wondering what idiots watch him to give him his ratings.  With that disappointment, this examiner realized Mr. O had a "chameleon" on his show, and that earned Mr. O the pinhead award for this week.  Well, could it be that Fox news ratings are simply folks who don't have a life and thus probably don't even come out to vote anyway evidenced by the fact that for eight years and still today, Hannity and his guests predicted the downfall of the Dems party only to be crushed in the election.  Proving they have zero credibility. 

But heck folks, there is always a soft spot for some part of Fox as they have a great sports viewing channel, of course on a different cable number, which probably is what brings them viewers who must be as shocked as this examiner is.  And thus the reason for this weeks Weekend Words segment.  The first quote is to remind any president that the news will go on once they are gone.  And the rest are to remind all journalists, that we must maintain the truth, limit our opinions to segments noted to be our opinions, and to never fall into the trap that Fox News Cable Channel did which is to mix excellence in news such as Sheppard Smith with the rest who truly sound like chirping old hens, anti-US government, motivation for this nations enemies, and truly out of touch with mainstream America.  For example, when my Republican supporters asked me to post their tea party photos, this examiner had no problem as these folks are not only some of the toughest guys I ever met, but the most generous and have some of the biggest hearts in this nation.  But lets face it.  With so many folks in our nation, although it may look like a lot of people, I would bet you dollars for donuts, that if another Presidential election were held today, the same super masses of folks would turn out for Mr. Obama and the perhaps 1/5 of Americans who identify as republicans would turn out.  Kemo Sabe?  Sure that's many millions for the Republicans but is about 1/5 of that which would vote for Mr. Obama.  Which also tells the Obama team to begin anew, stop worrying about nothing, and get on with the business of the Day.  What is that?  The most important things to Americans today employed or unemployed is jobs! Not health care, not wars, not Fox News shows that are just opinions of a few guys who lost an election and suffer from sour grapes, but Jobs.  It's time to pull out of Iraq, close Getmo, bring money home to spend on new highways, bridges, underground plumbing and electrical wires, building protection for our ports and borders, refunding USFDA so we are safe from toxic foods, drugs, cosmetics, toys, etc, and funding consumer protection rather than business.  Remember business has remained alive and well absent bailouts for over 200 years, and Mr. Obama need not reinvent the wheel with any more bailouts.  Folks cringe when you say Cit should go bankrupt.  But what they should cringe about is messing up a system created by our founding fathers for the people, which has stood the test of time and will remain long after the current crises becomes ancient history. 

Antithetically, the moral of the story is that we need to support independent candidates who are conservative when its correct, liberal when its correct, or centrist when its correct.  For it is never correct to be at one end of the spectrum.  Remember in the middle on a spinning object in space is gravity, where at the ends or the Republican and Democratic ends so to speak, it would be uninhabitable.  Lets try to keep America in the center.  And for this weeks pinhead, lets not always through Mr. Independent, Bill O'Reilly in with the rest of his companions as he is the best Fox news has, and often can put on a solid interview such as that which he did with now President Obama, and does often when he stays out of the fray of supporting today's elected Republicans who as we now exposed, actually supported Halliburton over the American-Girl, over rape of a patriotic women who was drugged.  Anti-American folks.  Just remember that along with "no bailouts for Bunco" we as a nation, with all our faults will overcome, and by the end of this chapter will win the day.  May the eternal continue to Bless America.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Heck, albeit a huge Rachel Maddow fan (One of if not the best looking mind on the airwaves), lately this editor thought after studying, usually 11:00 pm-1:00 am I would try again to look at an old favorite from years past, many years, the Republican Network.  But poor Hannity still has his guests like the um oh poor speaker Michelle Malkin (Can't listen to anyone who failed grammar school and um's their way through speaking) and of course his invented news, albeit with MSNBC's line up with Mr. Experience himself, the old Hardballer el al, its hard to fit Mr. O'Reilly into the schedule albeit again he runs stories and asks his guests about the make up stories Mr. Hannity and others create which is oh so boring.  However below this editor questioned MSNBC's characterization of nutty Republicans.  Well "they just did not make that stuff up".

As all of you know because its already been on the news 30 Republican "nut-jobs" voted that Halliburton be exempt from prosecution for its ownership of employs who raped a gal for being patriotic and kind of lovely.  Well let me tell you a story.  When I was a boy, I had earned a black belt in Judo by age 11 and was state Champ for AAU tournaments held at the YMCA.  By 12 I had my green belt in Juko Ryu style Jujitsu.  But then and even today, I have the look that any man wants to fight and feels confident until suddenly under a second their eye is hanging from their retina out of its socket etc (That's basic 14 ways to remove the eye from its socket orange belt level Kenpo, as I took Kenpo and rose through and past only to win a world title at the Internationals for the 40 and over age light heavyweight group although I did not fight in the Sunday Kumite where all champions from the different weight classes and age groups fight for the one best Champion. Basically because when the International Karate Association nominated me to go to the internationals to represent their organization in that weight class and age group, they never informed me about the Kumite.  Thus your editor did not know that I had to register for it!).  But to continue I have the look of someone any bullies on the planet would find easy prey.  Especially with my glasses!  That's life.

However and again, when I was in junior high about 13 or so, I was kind of thin and always wanted to be the dragon and never the tiger,  which means its hard to get me to fight; very hard.  One day a 6'5" 240 lb. football line man upper class (senior high) made advances at beautiful Julie (last name left out to protect the innocent) and when she rebuffed him he punched her in her back.  Being kind of small and known to not fight, for some reason I was the only one who walked up to ask why she could not stop crying.  She asked me to look at her back and she pulled up only the back of her blouse to expose a huge welt!  Something in my heart broke.

The next day at lunch, Mr. Big guy and his pals were rousting some of us young kids by tripping them in the lunch room so they would lose their food.  Your editor walked up to Dave, and said, "laugh now sucker and pick up your teeth later", something I learned hanging out at my Uncle Barney's (trainer, cutman and big wig in Golden Gloves and Professional Boxing) Gym, the Northwest Gym, where he and others trained professional boxers (My uncle had one who fought for the heavy weight title, a 6'6 Big Jim Beatty who I always believed style was emulated later by Mohammed Ali, and who almost beat Sunny Listen for the World Heavyweight Championship of boxing but after five rounds of winning was knocked out in the 6th round with a haymaker sucker punch!  Further two of my foster uncles, Al Tichler and Erin Lanzmen ((Parents died fighting in World War II and were raised from babies by my grandmother and trained by my Uncle who's day job after the Marine Corp was Vice President of the American Tool Corporation.)) became state Golden Glove Champions as well.).  Big Dave got violently angry while I became alert.  As he throw his punch from way outside, I was able to step forward (inside fighting) uppercut him right under the jaw, knocked him silly and as he was in the twilight zone placed a standing sleeper on him and as he fell pushed him into the large trash can.  I then put his legs up into the can and shut the lid.  Just then a kid in my class called the "home wrecker" because he broke so many girls hearts, jumped up to sit on the trash lid and said the Vice Principal is coming.  Well he did, looked around, everything was normal, yelled to the "home wrecker" to find a chair and left.  Later that day I saw Julie and advised her "that was for you"!  She then invited me to a senior high cheerleaders party and taught me a few things about life!  "Uh oh....".  No one every picked a fight with me that I can remember after that albeit there was a fight in the cat walk every day after school (Cat walk was a sideward cut between blocks so students like myself could walk home absent having to go up to the corners)

Well this editor is like every one of the old American guard.  Women and children first.  30 Republicans would get their ass kicked if any of the world war II heroes like my uncle (Marine Fighter Pilot and heavy weight boxing and judo champion of the Marine corps during World War II) were around.  30 republicans voted against womanhood and voted for rape; unconscionable and against everything this American was brought up to believe was right about Americans. 

But then it gets worse.  Three nut-job republicans voted to eliminate any consumer protection against Bank abuses (voted for no bank regulations or regulators!) which would doom us to relive the financial failures caused by the Bush-Cheney objectives which left this nation on its knees begging communists for money, with two wars they started needlessly which they did not win and never caught the perpetrators of 911, which occurred on their watch.  They were so weak they allowed us to be attacked, failed and then abandoned the American people during and after Katrina.  And "you just can't make that kind of stuff up!"

Finally, yesterday our President did what this editor had asked, and focused on the likes of Citi Bank the "no bailouts for Bunco King of banks" and asked that their executive pay be limited as long as "we the people" are now owners.  And thus, perhaps there are nuts in the Republican party.  Why one female loon from Minnesota actually called out my vote for President against Bill Clinton, Republican war hero extraordinaire.  In summary, there still are loons running the republican party, republican voters you must elect new republicans and get rid of the entire bunch of cowards who prey for green poultice rather then the blessings of the eternal, and even still today go to church as hypocrites while calling for torture.  Just an update on this editors position.  May the eternal continue to bless America.

BUSH LEGACY WAS RUN ON BANKS AND BANKS LEARNED TO RUN ON CITIZENS Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Why heck, can't any folks remember that the Banker was always the friend of small business, or the aid to the middle class.  Without the friendly neighborhood Banker the middle class could not pull themselves up by the boot straps to higher designs and well made plans.  By gosh by golly, Chase or JPM Chase has gone bonkers, not Bankers, but just bonkers.  While minding my own business, I had a wonderful paypal card which was always paid off days of its use.  It was bought out by NMNB then by Washington Mutual.  All gave good service and a page where you could check your fico score, and tips and mechanisms to improve such scores and truly much service as would be expected by a large bank.  However by the time Washington Mutual had owned the service, one learned changes usually via two ways.  Either by receiving a new card in the mail or noticing extremely high rates, often 1/3 in interest on cash advances.  Of course you could call and it would be reduced by never to lower than 20 percent.  And this editor wrote a piece to document for historians the significance of bad banking and using the public in an unwarranted manner.  Just to give these trade practices a time stamp.

Well, to make a long story short, recently I received notice that my Wamu card now JPM Chase would be actually charging 1/3 of the cash withdrawal!  Use a bank card as your walk in bank and pay 1/3 of the transaction for doing business with US bank JPM Chase.  Thus this examiner called to inquire these matters and why their site had been dysfunctional Sunday, could not log on without massive delays, and why a payment I scheduled for Monday was being processed on Tuesday?  During this conversation I was advised subsequent to query that my card had gone back up to 31 percent and change?  When I explained I had been through this and would like to know why my rate went up so radically, I was advised there is no longer any record of such previous negotiations and transactions, and that to reduce one's rate one would automatically be notified.  In other words the public has now lost the ability to speak with their Banker and were rewarded with a rule "were out of the business of banking simply loan exploitation", or so it seems.  But to make things worse, you can opt out of the 1/3 auto charge to interest rates which could not be guaranteed to be less than 33.3 percent.  And the final shoe was that sometime in March, ones now 10 year old card and great history and great services would be moving sites to JPM Chase, and that the fico check, monthly average fico score, and ways to help you improve your credit page will be removed. 

Now folks, "you just can't make this stuff up".  But worst of all, this is an American Bank, who purchased a great product with worsening rates, who removed what good services one received especially in the area of educating the public on how to be sound home-bankers, and monitor and improve their fico scores, all with the enhanced charges per month on cash withdrawal which were considered far out of the range of reasonable and customary trade practices then, and now lacked rational and responsible Bank actions on the part of JPH Chase Bankers, Bank representatives or even electronic bank consumer systems.  I have to tell you, that when I was young Americans would make jokes out of the types of Banks that would be found in Russia, China, some in Europe and even the middle East.  Yet in my life time, I witness banks which offer services which go beyond the act of reasonability when making profit off interest while promising the best in Banking advice to manage our money, mechanisms to improve the banking consumer, or services which were part of a proud tradition in Banking, yet rendering now extinct services and egregious cash advance interest rates and with the famous and obvious "fishy smell test" positive permeating the air of JPH Chase. 

It is this kind of stuff, that makes many believe poor President Obama was left a fare worse US situation, which appears beneath the surface, with remnants of a nation hence ripped off for its wealth, picked clean, and unethical or at the very least un-American systems in play in Banking, Food charges, credit card services, housing and real estate vehicles, all under the realm of Banking and business gone wild, under President Bush and left to be fixed by the brilliant and amazing person in histories spotlight, President Barack Obama and the 107th congress. little guy

THE STOOGES LEAVE WASHINGTON Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Who felt it was more important to rebuild Iraq then support good old American folks, American elderly, American sick, suffering, poor, ill, weak, disabled Americans, our children, our business and commerce or our infrastructure?  George W. Bush. In fact his invasion and occupation of Iraq have wasted our nations blood and national treasures absent stopping the cause of the efforts; 911.  Think about the facts.  Almost 4,200 Americans have died, and more than 30,000 have been wounded. Our nation spent more than $800 billion on the Iraq effort, with estimates of the ultimate cost as high as $4 trillion!  Four trillion gone and so went our economy.  Kemosabe?   Who said and even pledged to capture Osama bin Laden "dead or alive" and failed?  George W. Bush.  Who's father was watching the 911 attacks with a bin Laden, and then arranged to have all bin Laden's flown out of the country that evening?  George W. Bush's father.  Who does it seem never really wanted to capture Osama and spent all our nations money and energies on other wars for acts caused by Osama?  George W. Bush.  Who completely dropped the ball on the war in Afghanistan leaving us in a new quagmire if we stay?  George W. Bush.

Who motivated and allowed Lunatics to run amok in our own Hemisphere?  George W. Bush.  Who motivated Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to thumb his nose at our nation while profiteering of oil and gas through its US gas stations?  George W. Bush.  Who motivated and allowed Chavez to finance leftist, anti-American governments which have now taken hold in South America?  George W. Bush.  Who took his eye off the ball like no other president in History (Remember the Monroe Doctrine?) which is causing Mexico to fail and parallel a narco-regime?  George W. Bush. 

Who completely turned a blind eye to the American people when he demonstrated at best a lethargic response to Hurricane Katrina?  George W. Bush.  And thus who broke the republican bond with the American people?  George W. Bush.  Who took his eye off American Business and abandoned Leman Brothers causing a financial run on financing and allowed the housing bubble to burst?  George W. Bush.  Who allowed the largest national debt, and national trade deficit in US History.  George W. Bush.  Who then is responsible for our economic meltdown while turning a blind eye to unfair banking practices which continue today?  George W. Bush.  For example did any of you notice that your low interest credit cards suddenly charge between 20-31 percent interest if you take cash out of a cash machine?  Or if the needy should miss one payment their cards suddenly charge enormous rates rising from 6.99 percent to 28 percent?  During whose watch did this all occur?  George W. Bush.  During whose watch did zero percent equity mortgages and Wall Street financial practices motivated by greed and unsound business sense occur?  George W. Bush.

And finally who ended laws protecting folks constitutional rights, spied on Americans, took away habeas corpus, created The Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp and who allowed torture of humanity no matter how wrong the fiends were?  George W. Bush.  It is time to renew our constitutional rights, and again become the mentor for the world or the example of truth, justice and yes, the American way of life.  Lets face it, the stooges have now left Washington, but have left poor President Obama holding the bag.  They set him up and folks must all demonstrate their patriotism, join President Barack and work toward ending any wars draining our economy, return to cold war strategies to end terrorists regimes, end narco-regimes, end leftist movements in our hemisphere, and walk the extra mile for America.  Bush leaves Washington, hip hip hurrah, hip hip hurrah.  But now its time to role up our sleeves and act like Americans again. little guy

PRESIDENT BUSH FAILS TO JUSTLY PARDON IGNACIO RAMOS AND JOSE COMPEAN BUT AT LEAST COMMUTES SENTENCES Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Well, Bush did not want to be hated by everyone after all.  Can you beat that?  Just when most folks were sure that the worst president in our experiential history simply wanted to be hated by most all folks, he chose second best and commuted the sentences of the two obviously innocent bushwhacked federal border agents.  President Bush decided to commute their prison sentences because he believed they were excessive and that they had already suffered the loss of their jobs, freedom and reputations, a senior administration official said.  And that is at least true.  If you remember it was more important to cover a drug dealer who promised to snitch on his superiors which he never did, and in fact continued to smuggle drugs even during the hearings making a mockery out of the US justice system during our current presidents watch.  But something reached his heart and he heard the cries of all the people including most senators and congresspersons.  If you recall, the act which caused all the trouble was that when the Agents found that "if they fired their weapons as good law enforcement folks should when indicated, then they would be held under the same law as if a dope fiend had fired on law enforcement"!  Panicking under the pressure of the stupidity of the times, it appeared to be a cover-up when it was all a misunderstanding due to a misapplication of the law against law enforcement personnel.

They were convicted of shooting admitted drug smuggler Osvaldo Aldrete Davila in the buttocks as he fled across the Rio Grande, away from an abandoned van load of marijuana. The border agents argued during their trials that they believed the smuggler was armed, and that they shot him in self defense. The prosecutor in the case said there was no evidence linking the smuggler to the van of marijuana although he was smuggling drugs across the border even during the trial; inconsistent but consistent for the Bush era of justice.  Thus, this editor seriously applauds President Bush for doing the second best act or at least get a passing B- grade on this one.  Congratulations President Bush. little guy

INVITATION TO ACADEMY FOR JUSTICE MEMBERS

Forensic Science for the 21st Century:
The National Academy of Sciences Report and Beyond

 

The Center for the Study of Law, Science, & Technology at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University will host an international conference on April 3-4, 2009, in Tempe, Ariz., on the future of forensic science, with special attention to the highly anticipated report of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, "Identifying the Needs of the Forensic Sciences Community."

 

In addition to experts from universities such as the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard Law School, the University of Michigan Law School, the University of California, Irvine, the University of Virginia and ASU, among others, participants will include state and federal judges, the NAS committee chairmen, the president of the American Association of Forensic Sciences, directors of the FBI laboratory and the Innocence Project, and prosecutors, defense attorneys, forensic scientists, and criminalists. Papers will be published in the ABA-ASU journal, Jurimetrics: The Journal of Law, Science, and Technology, and in the Oxford University Press journal, Law, Probability & Risk.

 

As part of the conference, The Honorable Harry T. Edwards, Senior Circuit Judge and Chief Judge Emeritus of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and co-chair of the NAS Forensic Science Committee, will deliver the annual Willard H. Pedrick Lecture. The title of Judge Edwards’ talk is, “Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward.”

FASCINATING, ENTHRALLING, RIVETING, FOCUSED AS A HUMBLE SURGICAL STUDENT Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

The eternal works in mysterious ways.  This student of medicine prays perhaps more often than Chiquita has banana peals or Bayer has aspirins.  Yet right at the end of my first elective in Vascular Surgery I became very ill and my malpractice carrier went bankrupt.  It was beyond me how such things would cause me to pause for respite from my surgical studies.  Once recovered and after securing a new malpractice carrier, fate had it that I was to be trained by two new surgeons during my core surgical rotation because one great surgeon had just come back from recovery from an illness and our group was too large and had to be split between the two.  Thus your editor had to move to the new group.  Today, again after assisting both surgeons and the first surgical assistance who is also a physician and surgeon, and after assisting several times last week, it became clear  what the lord had in store for me.  One could not have a better surgical learning experience than to be lucky enough to have studied under no less than three surgeons, learn their unique talents albeit to a students degree, but yet this experience could be interpreted as second to none.  Of course my age would preclude me from becoming a resident surgeon during a residency selection do to utility of the concept of achievable goals, but no matter the specialty which fits this soul the best, such surgical experience will make me the best physician and surgeon or medical doctor I can be.  "And you just can't make this kind of stuff up!"

Of course being human with my own unique failures and talents perhaps I can not demonstrate to these three how much appreciation I have for their clerkship training.  But I do know that by the end of the day or my clinical clerkships, I will be a chip off the old block so to speak and make each and every one of them proud that they took the time and allowed me to study under them.  These surgeries are fascinating, life saving in many cases, eliminating the most vexing medical woes of the patients we serve, and indeed humbling to this medical student.  I can only thank them in the way this editor knows how by paying tribute to them today and state the lord works in mysterious ways.little guy

LETTERS TO THE INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL EDITOR

AAJTS@INFOJUSTICE.COM,

How does one become a "member?"

Arthur Taub, MD PhD

Hello Dr. Arthur Taub MD Ph.D,, 

Thank you for your interest in the American Academy For Justice through Science, and it is good to hear from you again.  The American Academy for Justice through Science for many years now, within our nation and around the globe for that matter on a case by case basis, has represented and stood for precisely that which the name defines; Justice accomplished through the principles of Science working with mankind’s developing laws. 

Our Mission Statement follows

“Bill Casey, the distinguished past director of the CIA, once suggested that the worst thing about his business was that he could never advertise his successes. This is also the case in the area of health fraud research1. In the research of hucksterism, or fraudulent case review, often those that have violated the standards of care, as they are developing in the United States today (and especially now, in the new century) have committed civil and frequently, federal crimes. But, if a Certified Fraud Examiner outlines his successes in liquidating proponents of a fraud in lecture or through written formats, then copycat imitators will surely commit the fraud. This wipes out success and increases fraud.  

Thus, many experiences and triumphs over illicit and diabolical health schemes, illicit insurance billings, or even over, fraudulent-insurance, corporate "BIG- BUSINESS" techniques, for that matter, have remained as forgotten history. This situation, then, allows the nation to relive the past. We, as a nation will never completely climb out of the depths of rampant hucksterism and blatant fraud; because we continue to relive or re-experience the same old fraud schemes guised in new costumes2.  

Even the judicial system, which was devised prior to modern science, has become out-dated and ill-equipped to deal with the wily murderers and thieves of today. Thus, is the reason for the founding of The American Academy for Justice through Science? In science, we believe that the burden of proof is on the proponent of the fraud, malpractice, Rico etc. In law, the proponent is innocent until proven guilty-the Golden Thread of Democracy. Further, with today's applications of laws, seasoned veterans in the area of anti-fraud cannot become involved until someone dies. Thus law and science must work together but under their own tenets. It is our mission to produce scientific case studies on past work accomplished, so that today's court system will have a ready source (absent $300-$600 per-hour fees), and gain scientific knowledge, so that all of the judicial system can continue to work in harmony and stop senseless injuries, fraud, waste, abuse and violence before they happen, by demonstrating Justice Through Science.  

So was born The InfoJustice Journal, as a service to further the use of Justice through Science. With this service, you will be able to follow some of the most monumental case studies and lectures, and apply them to your own practice.  

We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact us.

HOW TO HEAL THE ECONOMY 1001: ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND TEAM Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Healing our economy is rudimentary if we stop the go it alone mentality of our present administration.  Only through team or the working together of Independents, Democrats and Republicans can we recover from our experience with the Bush methods.  Republican pundits have began with "anyone who disagrees with us is not patriotic!"  Remember that set of years.  We have eliminated many basic freedoms with the promise of prosperity which has of course backfired to the extent of our economic woes.  Further, every time our nation lost money, the 20 billion in cash in Iraq for example, it tossed a dagger into the heart of our economy.  What kind of a moron creates wars where the costs outweigh the benefits?  Well, this examiner won't point fingers but this must stop.  Thus first and foremost we must stop the overspending on the war in Iraq!  This includes creating a mechanism of education for our troops so when they return as they have, they can find jobs and not be told they have no degrees, there only good at fighting with weapons or leading weapons into battle and end the war vacuum which has ruined a generation of citizens whose love of country was abused. 

Second of all we must stop the unilateral allocation of funds in the manner of our 750 billion dollar bailout.  Lets face it, we forced banks which did not need money to take it, and then gave money to needy banks absent in place rules and regulations for the utility of the funds.  And thus the program failed as they did not loan!  If we had rules and regulations for fund utility, transparency would be obvious.  For example, if an auto manufacturer said look, we have never in our nations history experienced that which our leadership has brought us to, then with oversight and rules and regulations such as a mandate for x amount of super fuel efficient cars, a mandate for x amount of alternative fuel vehicles, and a mandate for lets say a four year freeze on certain benefits promised prior to such a bailout, then our investment would improve each and every citizens economic situation while concomitantly healing our big three's woes.  One in ten jobs in the United States are related to our auto industry!  Lets say we had a patient.  Would you want them to eventually get well with the absence of certainty or would you want medical oversight for quick healing?  Of course you want your patient to get well as quickly as possible.  In other words of course business could eventually or someday work its way out of its problems through the business model but again they would most assuredly recreate the problems of the past which caused them to be unable to compete in the horrific environment created by our government such as the recently high costs of oil. 

Third, we must simply create a mechanism which would allow those who are employed to refinance their home loans to an affordable level until we as a nation get a handle on the present economic situation, and with a time line, so these folks would know when they would have to increase their payments and get back on schedule in a traditional 30 year or whatever their original time frame agreement. 

Fourth, with the money saved from ending wars or fight only to the level of fiscal responsibility, we could spend that money at home on a rebuilding of our infrastructure which will add new jobs for the poor and middle class. 

Fifth, we must give tax breaks to American business who manufacture within the homeland and employ Americans and tax those who manufacture abroad or try to hire anything other than Americans.  That includes a fee for companies who use H1 visas to avoid using American talent. 

Finally we cannot create any further burdens such as too large of tax increases on the citizens who are suffering the most, until we solve the issues addressed in this article.  In fact once these team methods are employed, perhaps we will see such a recovery that tax reductions could be in order.  But we must stop the go it alone policies continued through the 750 billion dollar bailout fiasco, and watch liquidity, improved transportation, improved infrastructure.

Absent the simple fix for housing, transportation, banking, war and most importantly a team effort in the new administration of Democrats, Independents and Republicans, we will continue to witness the floundering of our economy.  Kemo Sabe?  In my heart, it is this editor's belief that our president elect, the honorable Barack Obama is a team player, and will create an administration of Democrats, Independents and Republicans.  Again as in an article below, We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." -- Benjamin Franklin; 1776.  Folks, law makers and members we can do this if we all work together.  In fact lets try supporting our president elect and see if these measures create a new day of prosperity and friendship in our nation.  Lets stop the habit of the republican rhetoric which began at Fox news and has so permeated our nation that copycats simply treat each other poorly as if its correct.  Lets see who can be first to create positive ideas rather than all the mean spirited criticism.  Wouldn't it be a hoot to see Hannity or Cavuto offer positive ideas such as this editor has illustrated rather then using their abilities to find fault in humanity?  In fact it would be down right American!  Yet someone has to get through to Fox cable News because the truth is their programming is only interested in Republicans which is anti-American and basically a major negative influence to our population, to parents trying to teach team, education, sharing, or any of the principles which created a two party system which may become a three party system should Independents ever have a fair say based on the size or number of Independent citizens.  In other words Fox cable News pro-partisan programming is part of the problem.

It's team work, team work, team work and positive ideas which will solve our most vexing economic issues.  Look to the ideas of this report for the answers to solve our economic woes, and return our nation to prosperity, home ownership, business success and manufacturing. little guy

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14TH, 2008

May our country be always successful, but whether successful or otherwise, always right (Our popular President Bush and the Republican Party, not the citizen republicans, were and are always wrong when they don't work in a team effort with the Dems and thus brought our country down down down to the level of 1942)...Wealth can only be accumulated by the earnings of industry and the savings of frugality (Our popular President Bush and the republican party have destroyed our industrial manufacturing base, exported manufacturing to foreign countries, and will destroy GM our largest manufacturer left by not having a bailout causing over 3 million auto assembly, several million GM dealership folks worldwide, two million rubber, tire, plastics and leather makers who provide for GM not to mention glass manufactures and the many millions of folks in these Ford and Chrysler related job losses become unemployed unable to make their house payments, pay any taxes and affect an estimated additional 30 million citizens in industries which relay on American Auto manufactures products and so forth...), Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce (Our popular President Bush and the Republican party gave away 750 billion to a few which can't help America albeit our best and brightest have joined this editor and our President elect to support GM such as Lou Dobbs and Jim Cramer) Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution (The fact is our popular President Bush and the Republican party and Fox pundits including a few at CNBC have brought our nation down down down to the levels of 1942 and only want to be in office to have power and don't love America like the rest of us who love America more than life itself.).    Presidents John Quincy Adams, John Tyler, James Abram Garfield, William Howard Taft  May the "Eternal" save us from absence of team.

 

WHEN GEORGE BUSH TOOK OFFICE OR WHEN THE REPUBLICANS ASKED FOR YOUR VOTE Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

When our popular president George Bush and the republicans asked for your vote did you think they would take our nation from number one in manufacturing down down down to the level we produced in 1942?  When George Bush and the republicans asked for your vote, support and trust did you think they would take our auto manufactures down down down to the levels they were at in 1943?  How can any of you ever listen to Dylan Ratigan, Hannity, O'Reilly, Cavuto and all the republicans when our nation has gone from number one in the world in everything to the levels we were in during the early 1940's.  Frankly, it is time to tune out any Republican pundits, and listen to those whose actions demonstrated a positive for our nation, for our middle class, and for that matter all Americans.  Never, never, never listen to these folks if you care about yourself.  Just look around you, look at the loan crisis, the credit crisis, the auto manufacturing crisis, student loan crisis, mortgage crisis, Wall Street crisis, national debt crisis, national trade debt crisis and truly too much more.  Remember these folks get paid millions to give you bad advice and by the end of the day it really comes down to who made America better, safer, wealthier, increased homeland manufacturing, increased demand for made in America products rather than free trade gimmicks to bring great wealth to those that espouse such notions. 

It's time to let them all go, and get behind the honorable Barack Obama.  Many of these flakes have already blamed him for what Bush has and is doing?  Abraham Lincoln taught us, You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time especially now that our nations people are on food stamps, un-employed, struggling to make payments for education, food, drugs, cosmetics, and normal accoutrements necessary to simply survive.  If you think you detect greed expose it no matter the proponent.  Do it for yourselves and watch we the people come back to where we should be.  Of course this Journal is supported by many many republicans.  But even they are disgusted and cannot wait for the day their leaders represent kindness, courtesy, thoughtfulness, and have lost the harsh rhetoric which is now branded as Republican.  They tell this editor they long for the day of those that will cooperate and only through cooperation with Barack Obama will then be able to stand on their own do to the trust that they will do the right thing after having demonstrated team work and cooperation. 

Help the honorable Barack Obama save our auto manufactures, and for that matter any homeland manufacturer that will build within the homeland, and export from the homeland.  It is time for unilateral cooperation.  Mr. Obama is a thinker and a doer.  Join the three fourths of the electoral college which supported him, and lets rebuild our nation.  Stop the false charges.  The sign of a false charge is claims of what he will do before he even has done anything.  Dobb's come back to the fold as many independents are resigned to ignore you now that your nightly show claims, much like the Ratigan propaganda or Hannity propaganda that our good and kind president elect has done anything to harm when he is simply in the process of building his team. 

Lets all join hands and stop the blame game republican way and start the thoughtful progression of unity for success.  If you have a good idea send it to our president elect or your lawmaker from your state or district.  If we work together, complement each other and together, we will succeed.  "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." Benjamin Franklin; 1776.  1942/43 manufacturing levels...indeed!

Antithetically these truths are even more accurate and self evident today since there is so many of us.  Complement your neighbor, make the extra effort to help the young and the elderly, share as the eternal shared life with all of us and good luck will return to all of our industries, all of our government agencies and all of our trade.  Fight to be the first to help a fellow student, worker, citizen and we will overcome.  It is the way of our world.  Good luck. little guy

 

THERE ALL WRONG AND CANNOT TAKE THEIR HEADS OUT OF THE CLOUDS Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left un-repressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Did anyone notice that each time the nation and thanks to world viewers like Bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2, and now the world, loses confidence in the American Presidency, that the economy goes south?  Direct evidence suggests that initially when Jimmy Carter became quite unpopular with just over 1/2 the American people and the economy went into the tank.  President Reagan gave confidence to Americans and with his expenditures to build the Southern California Defense Complex which built the Stealth Northrop, our sati light defense from TRW and Hughes electronics and truly too much more in the way of pumping money and tax breaks into homeland manufacturing all gave the economy the lift it needed.  Then did anyone notice that after George Bush one dismantled the Southern California Defense complex transferring all the jobs to Texas, Florida New England and anywhere else he thought he would gain votes for his next run for presidency backfired causing a massive recession in California which ravaged Torrance, Lawndale, Gardena, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Pedro, with foreclosures akin to today through the Golden State concomitant with his read my lips statement of no new taxes and then raised taxes, our economy went into the tank. 

Clinton came along and did some interesting things.  Although it is true that we had approximately a 5 trillion dollar debt or 1/2 that of today, he also saved three trillion in what he called a lock box for social security which actually balanced the budget and in reality we were actually 2 trillion in debt.  This caused the economy to expand exponentially until he became a lame duct far too soon in his presidency due to his foolish lack of responsibility by letting all Americans down with his "little boy with his pants down" mentality.  The economy subsequently went somewhat south do to a lack of CONFIDENCE in our president.  Bush took over, dismantled any common sense mechanisms to oversea our markets, banks, credit cards and so forth simply akin to someone who was brought up with the notion should he fail, papa will always bail him out.  And thus, he has turned our government into a socialist and almost communist economic strategy which all presidents now passed away are rolling and rolling and rolling over in their graves.  He has made a hypocrisy out of our American inheritance in business, savings, understanding the simplest of notions relative to how our world actually works financially, and after his 750 billion dollar through away, the experts in finance around the globe, from New York to Berlin, from Los Angeles to Beijing, from Minneapolis to Moscow, from Dallas to Kuwait, from Washington to Saudi Arabia, the entire world has lost confidence in our popular President and his Republican party. 

Thus, should the honorable Barack Obama win, it is my belief that absent a taxation on homeland manufacturing and perhaps with implementation of his plan to reduce taxes on those that manufacture within our nation rather than going overseas, will again bring confidence back to our nation basically following the Reagan strategy, and our world business leaders will take a tad of risk again and our markets will then go higher.  In fact absent any major blunders economically under his initial presidency, this editor would opine that our markets and financial systems could suddenly heal and with new oversights in place to prohibit foolish business policies for the get rich quick schemers in any of the financial instruments, our nation could suddenly experience growth and investment value again.  Yes, if our global leaders were motivated they on their own and with normal business mechanism, could fix our broken markets, make rules and regulations which preclude banks improper business practices (preclude the foolish goal to take fees for sales while creating a sinking ship for the customer and the institution-a type of fraud.). 

Lets face it one by one, all Bush appointees and followers have had to take the poison pill rather than exposing the fact that they all acted in the orchestration of their leader.  Even Greenspan has now had to walk the plank while Bush gets to ride off into the sunset after having bankrupt our nation with his polices.  No matter who is in control of the congress, our problems with making war, making loans to the un-loanable and then selling such loans to Wall street, claiming that over 10 billion in cash was lost in the Iraq due to theft when it was payola to stop the fighting so they could claim the surge was successful, lowering interest rates which was good but did not provide normal and customary banking oversight so the money was lost and low interest rates initiatives were lost to essentially the equivalence of theft.  No oversight for fraud, waste and abuse. 

Heck folks, just think about it.  Under Bush we have experienced the greatest disaster relative to terrorism and attack against our nation in our history.  We have experienced the greatest disasters due to storms and government inaction in our nations history.  We have now experienced the greatest credit crisis, housing and banking failures, stock, bonds and their associated mechanisms losses since our great depression.  And we even attacked a nation that was not attacking us nor even claimed they would which was never done in our nations history.  Thus, it will be inconceivable that the next president will lead us into as many disasters albeit the road will never be easy for a president; quality or nice guy dunsil. 

There will be a greater day in our future.  Frankly, what we must have again is patience, dedication to sound business practices in trade and commerce, start with a new president who will not repeat the mistakes of our republican leadership, and our nation will rebound.  Lets see who is right; the chicken little one time followers of the failed polices and ideas who's evidence can be found in the largest number of varying disasters occurring during any presidents tenor, or my view!.  These polices also bred bad luck.  Lying (Something that makes me puke) has become endemic to our nations pundits and filtered down to the little people.  Why?  It is easier to fib then make sense.  And it is regrettable how time has proven that most folks are followers, most are negative and would make war rather than fight for peace, create go it alone policies rather than uniting our world on deeds and ideas to be implemented separately within nations rather than the idea of world uniting under one rule. 

Transparency, logic, support for our infrastructure, our education, our health, our homeland manufacturing, and then base stock values on this new age motivation to boom manufacturing and business within our nation to create a new vacuum of funds into our nation rather than us being the new age beggar who must borrow money to exist as the Bush model, and become self sufficient as outlined from the top.  Set good examples from the White House and watch the world heal!  Speak our language well as Obama does and watch the nation yearn to become more educated, watch an increase in science and math scores and behold the true power of the President of the United States.  Confidence in the White House will solve most of the woes which seam unattainable by those with a world view, yet absent a view of the total picture. lg

TIPS FROM THE GURU-THE GREAT PANIC OF 2008: OCTOBER 10, 2008

First, let’s start with the obvious: This is unlike any market meltdown I’ve seen in my career. That includes the 1987 crash, the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, the 1993-94 utility deregulation scare, the 1997-98 Asian Crisis and the 2000-02 Great Bear Market and utility sector collapse.

There is one thing, however, that this collapse has in common with every one previous to it: crushing fear, which has now yielded to unbridled panic.
Up until about 3 pm on Thursday, it seemed as if the selling wave of the past few weeks had run its course. Bargain hunters were starting to venture into a growing number of stocks, and a lot of green was showing up on investors’ screens.

Then came the selloff of the last hour, which wound up carrying the Dow Jones Industrials down nearly 700 points. The selling wave then picked up steam in Asia, swept over Europe and began pounding the US again today.

In short, what had begun as a selling wave has now become a wholesale liquidation. Stocks, bonds, commodities, preferred stocks and mutual funds are being dumped en masse. Business fundamentals, solid earnings--such as Chevron’s preview yesterday--and even dividend increases are being ignored. And anything stock that’s not losing at least 10 percent everyday is considered an outperformer.

To be sure, there are plenty of reasons for concern today. The global banking system has been shaken to its roots, and lending largely remains frozen as the US contagion has now spread well
beyond our borders and well beyond anything to do with mortgage-backed securities.

This week, Iceland announced the government takeover of its banks. That effort was, ironically, aided by Russia, a country whose own banks have had to rely on government assistance and which actually closed its stock market this week.

As for the US economy, the hard economic news is still nowhere close to Great Depression-esque. Initial claims for unemployment insurance actually declined in the latest week, for example.  But the decline in consumer credit is a pretty clear sign that Americans are at last pulling in their horns a bit after years and years of unparalleled spending. If that trend continues, it will mean a contraction in all those industries that feed the consumer appetite, which could be quite severe.

The plunge in oil prices since mid-year, ironically, has also become a cause for concern. When black gold was pushing $150 a barrel, few envisioned a near halving of the price would be possible in such a short time. Now that it’s occurred, however, it’s becoming a real threat to the transition to a “green economy” and getting the nation off its dependency on imported oil. And every drop in oil’s price is another reminder to market participants that the global economy faces tremendous uncertainty in the coming year.

The best thing we have going for us now, of course, is that virtually all of humanity is on the same page on this crisis. And although there’s considerable variation as to tactics from country to country, there’s also a nearly unanimous consensus that the immediate solution is money.

Private sector credit markets remain frozen, as evidenced by still historically high spreads between the London Interbank Lending Rate (LIBOR) and the rate that the US Federal Reserve is currently offering banks. With so many bad assets out there and the economy slowing, banks are still terrified of lending to other banks. The Treasury bill/Eurodollar spread now sits at 452 basis points, near all-time highs.

Even companies in recession-proof businesses are having problems borrowing at decent rates of interest. This week, for example, Southern Company--the very model of stability in the electricity industry--reported that the interest rates it must pay to sell short-term commercial paper rates basically have doubled from earlier in the year. Duke Energy and others, meanwhile, have taken the extraordinary step of actually drawing down credit lines to ensure the money is there when they need it.

Central banks globally, however, have basically thrown open their coffers to all comers. In the US, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke now have unprecedented powers to buy assets and push cash where it’s needed. Elsewhere, Britain this week provided a massive cash infusion to its banks, and other countries have been quick and decisive about doing the same.

Their actions certainly haven’t done much to calm these panic-stricken markets yet. But they do represent actions that are 180 degrees different from those taken by monetary authorities in 1929-30 as the financial panic of that era unfolded.

Authorities, in short, have recognized that the problem is money, and they’re increasingly willing to put all their resources to that end. Ultimately, that means the debasement of paper money globally and a major boon for raw materials, other hard assets and gold worldwide. For now, however, money is exactly what a credit-short economy needs--and it’s coming in increasing amounts.

Another big difference between the Great Depression and the current crisis is that there are still regulations and safeguards in place that were enacted in the 1930s to prevent bank panics.  Many of these have been dismantled over the past two decades by deregulation. But we still have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which now ensures all deposits up to $250,000. And it may be extended to cover all deposits in the coming days.

In contrast, during the Depression, the only recourse for deposit holders when a bank went bust was to physically try to pull their money out. Not surprising, that resulted in bank runs, which are well portrayed in movies depicting that era. You can only imagine the state of the global economy if we had seen full-blown bank runs after Washington Mutual and Wachovia went bust a few weeks ago, as deposit holders rushed to pull cash out of every bank in America. Happily, thanks to President Roosevelt and the FDIC, that won’t happen this time.

The FDIC isn’t the only Depression-era creation that’s proving its worth. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) suffered years of neglect under deregulation-minded White House administrations. But it’s now making a major comeback. And despite the demise of AIG, investors can be confident in the safety of their annuities, insurance and brokerage accounts, thanks to regulations that segregate their assets from those of holding companies like AIG.

Sooner or later, all the money being pumped into the global economy is going to have its desired effect. In a sense, the action now is like a group on a camping trip trying to light a fire when all the wood has been soaked by a storm. The campers are ready, willing and able to dump all the paper, cardboard and lighter fluid to get the fire going. For a long time, it seems no matter what they do can spark things up. Eventually, however, it does light. And when it does, it quickly becomes a conflagration.

This weekend, I’m in New Orleans with my parents on their 60th wedding anniversary. That gave me the opportunity to talk with my Dad, who--along with my Mom--actually did live through the last Great Depression. That experience stuck with both of them through the years since. Dad has always been an avid investor in stocks, but his retirement is constructed on a basic principle learned by all who lived through the Depression: have a lot of different sources of revenue tied to many different things, some of which aren’t tied to the stock market.

With the Dow Industrials down triple digits for seven consecutive days--and well on its way to its eighth--I fully expected him to offer up some comparison to the Depression and why it made sense to be very cautious. In contrast, he’s pretty sanguine. He’s certainly not happy about the losses but convinced that “quitters” who liquidate and sell out now are going to regret their actions--and probably a lot sooner than they think.

Of course, when your underlying house is solid, it’s a lot easier to stay in the market as its crashing than it would be if all of your assets were in stocks, as is the case with so many investors. But here’s something else to keep in mind if you’re thinking about bailing today: Big declines are bullish.

In the early 1990s, I assisted an old friend of mine, Stephen Leeb, with his book “Market Timing for the 1990s.” One of the chapters addressed major, sudden declines in the stock market, their causes as well as their aftermath.

That the action in the market since early September 2008 has been sudden and extremely devastating is beyond dispute. And as I’ve pointed out above, the root causes and circumstances surrounding it are different from those of any other before it, at least for the data covered in the book.

The same thing, however, was true of every other market crisis we reviewed that hit Wall Street. One big thing they did have in common was a consensus conviction among investors that it was the end of the world and that things would never be as good again. Another thing: They were followed by mighty recoveries as the market psychology shifted dramatically.

I certainly didn’t foresee how bad things would get in this crisis. No doubt, many will come to the fore in coming days and proclaim that they did, just as was the case following the Great Depression. But the point isn’t what we should have done several months ago. It’s what we’re going to do now at this critical time.

Do we join the panic and liquidate our holdings, trying to avoid an even worse catastrophe ahead? Do we back up the truck and buy our favorites among the good businesses? Or do we just sit back with our current positions, shepherd the cash from big dividend payers and wait to see how this shakes out?

One of the reasons that big declines tend to be so bullish is they shake out all the excesses of the prior boom very quickly and dramatically. Like a skilled swimmer suddenly thrown into cold water, there’s a shock to the system followed by an adjustment. In a market panic, sellers are quickly shaken out, and what you’re left with is those who are focused on value--who won’t be shaken out.

Big declines also create slack in the overall economy. That basically means more room to grow without igniting inflation, which is the fuel for any bull market in stocks. Before this crisis, inflation had hit a 17-year high in the US. Now raw materials’ prices have come off sharply, and labor costs are certain to moderate as jobs become more difficult to find. Obviously, most of us would rather see more people working. But again, the point for the market is more slack and more room to grow.

When will this big decline end and the big recovery begin? That’s a question best suited for social psychologists. When I see the likes of Southern Company down 10 percent in half a day’s trading, it says to me that market emotion--in this case extreme fear--is in full control, and investors have thrown any semblance of rationality out the window.

And that’s far from the only example. Yesterday, Dan Duncan’s Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO Partners both increased distributions by a significant amount. That same day, however, both limited partnerships posted significant market losses, adding to their massive declines of previous days. Both are now less than half their highs of earlier this year.

They weren’t the only pipeline owning limited partnerships (LP) to boost distributions this week, either, as business after business continues to hike cash flows by adding fee-generating assets. Some LPs have faltered in recent months. But many more  a re having no trouble accessing credit, and revenues remain solid. They’re now paying their highest distributions ever with an average in the low teens, an historic spread relative to Treasury paper. And this is in the pipeline business, where cash flow is basically of utility quality and surety.

I’ve mentioned several times in recent weeks that energy was vulnerable both to a slowdown as well as a revival of the market panic. That’s certainly proven to be the case recently, as a drop in oil prices has triggered a full scale panic out of any and all energy-producing stocks, LPs and Canadian income trusts.

Chevron’s announcement yesterday that its third quarter earnings would match expectations didn’t stop its stock from being pounded today. In fact, Super Oils across the board have been falling 10 percent
