Supreme Court Takes on Gay Marriage Issue

Democracy, constitutional rights, freedom against discrimination, the concept of separation of church and state, do they not mean anything in this country?

The Supreme Court has been taking up two issues related to the rights of gays to marry.    They shouldn’t have to.  The people who oppose gay marriages do so based mostly upon religious indoctrination.    They should mind their own business.

Gay people getting married do not harm or imposition anyone else.
When the opposition came up with the ludicrous contention that marriage NOW is solely for the purpose of procreation, that should have been a signal to everyone that the crazies are truly running the asylum.

What’s next?  Forbidding menopausal women from marrying?

AMERICA…wake up.   Enough with the stupidity.

Catholic Church and the Pope

Special to USA Views by Cecelia Kraveo

What is it about the world media and its obsession with the selection of a new Pope?  Is it really going to make a difference in changing the backward thinking of this religious organization with its elitist, hypocritical views?

With the rampant sex abuse scandals, how can any Catholic continue to support this pathetic organization?  How do Catholics justify the rampant conspicuous wealth on display at the Vatican?  Whatever happened to the vow of poverty?  How do the Pope, cardinals and bishops justify it?

Overpopulation.  Another issue the Catholic Church ignores.  Dump all the unwanted sick, dying children on the steps of the Vatican.  Let the Catholic Church pay for their care and upkeep.  When poor people who can’t afford to care for their children keep producing them because of the urging of the Catholic church, it’s an abomination.

Catholics, please think!  The rest of the world should shun this religion.

28TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal  Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

This will take less than  thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.  This is an idea  that we should address.

For too long we have been too complacent about  the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress  could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically  exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being  exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary  citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from  the Healthcare Reform that passed … in all of its forms. Somehow, that  doesn’t seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The  self-serving must stop.

PROPOSED:

A 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the  United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or  Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators  and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the  United States …”

Airport Body Scanners Obscene and Dangerous

This is an interesting story By Dr. William Campbell Douglass on which was originally posted at  HealtheirTalk.com under the title: “X-Rated Airport Scanner’s First Victim”.

An Indian film star has found himself the subject of an unexpected nude shoot.  You’ve probably never heard of Shahrukh Khan, but to call him an Indian actor would be like calling Stephen Spielberg a guy who makes films in California.

Khan is one of the world’s richest and most successful movie stars, even if he’s a complete unknown in the United States. He ranked 41st on Newsweek’s list of the world’s most powerful people last year — ahead of mighty Oprah, and only five places behind the Pope.

I’m not about to confess my secret love of Bollywood films — I’d never heard of the guy myself. But he’s got a cautionary tale for all of us, and it happened on a screen where Big Brother wants all of us to be the star.

“King Khan,” as he’s known, had the misfortune of strolling through one of those new full-body airport scanners I’ve been warning you about…the kind that peek beneath your clothing and snap an image of your privates, just in case you’re hiding weapons beneath your scrotum.

Airport officials and security “experts” have sworn up and down that these images aren’t saved…and that faces are automatically blurred so the screener, who’s in an isolated location, has no idea who’s getting Big Brother’s electronic evil eye.

But try telling that to Khan — because he says he was later greeted by airport workers in London who had printouts of his x-rated X-ray.

So much for their privacy claims — I hope you didn’t buy that hogwash in the first place. If low-wage airport workers can rape his privacy and get away with it, they can do far worse to you.  Meanwhile, their bogus safety claims are already getting a second look too.

The Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety says these things pose a health risk — and that pregnant women and children should not be forced through them. The report — which wasn’t meant to be made public — also said governments should have to justify their use of these radiation machines.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Remember: There is NO safe level of ionizing radiation. If you have to fly in Big Brother’s world, I feel bad for you — because the plan is for EVERY air traveler, including pregnant women and babies, to pose for the government’s candid cameras.

Health Care Reform Bill Sucks

The bill passed by congress is fairly useless.  There is really only one kind of health care reform that should have been passed and that is UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!   We need to put the concepts of “health” and “care” back into the equation.  Right now all we got is very minor insurance company reform.

1.  Insurance companies are only in it for profit.  They just want you to pay into the system and then deny you coverage when you actually try to use your insurance.

2.  No current system actually respects or rewards staying healthy.  If they did, then you’d be able to deduct vitamins and supplements as the cost of staying healthy from your taxes or insurance companies would pay for these items.

3.  Control the population and you will control costs.

4.  Illegal immigrants should be treated as necessary but a bill for the cost of the service should be sent to the originating country.  Ideally, anyone in the country illegally should be instantly deported and cared for in their homeland.  The United States should not have to pay for the entire world and anyone who does not see that is deeply delusional.

5.  Our government needs to step up to the plate, so to speak, and stop rewarding companies that make garbage food products with tax breaks and contracts.  If we can have mega companies making trash then we can have these same companies producing quality and truly organic foods for the masses.

6.  Individuals need to wake up and start making healthier choices.  They would be helped in this regard if the big food companies didn’t think it was okay to feed us low-nutrient, high-fat, high-sugar, pesticide/hormone/antibiotic-laden CRAP.

7.  The government is downright ignorant when it comes to pasteurization of dairy products.  RAW MILK is very safe and highly nutritious and boosts immunity.  RAW nuts should be allowed to be just that — RAW, not pasteurized which destroys nutrients.  Our government is a knee-jerk organization without any common sense whatsoever.  Any well educated complementary/alternative medicine practitioner knows the truth about these quality foods.

Health Care Reform Merry-Go-Round

Could the health care reform debate in D.C. get anymore convoluted, downright stupid and frankly, obscene than it already is?  We doubt it.

President Obama has acknowledged the truth about how Congress and federal employees have the absolute best health care benefits and options in the country.  And, he says, it would be nice if all the citizens had the same.

WHO does he think is paying for all those great benefits that he, Congress and other federal employees get?  WE DO — the public, through our tax dollars!

So the question must be asked WHY then doesn’t EVERYONE get the same great benefits and options?

Our government is composed of greedy pig lawmakers who make laws favorable to themselves and screw over everyone else.   Obama has so much admitted this.  Yet not one single news report has pointed this out which leads us to believe that the entire news world is so entwined with the minutia of this pathetic debate that they cannot for the life of them see the “forest for the trees”.

The obvious and simple answer, of course (at least to some), is that our government simply can’t afford to pay for everyone. Then we say equality to ALL.  Congress and federal employees should get the same obscenely high cost crap that the majority of Americans are forced to accept AND a large percentage of them should get NO insurance in keeping with what a huge number of people must contend with.

Toyota Meltdown

Toyota has been placing full sized ads in newspapers trying to assure everyone that they are doing all they can to correct the problems with their cars.  It’s now believed that 56 people have died due to Toyota safety issues.

And of course the question remains, what did they know and when did they know it.  As it stands now, it’s pretty certain that the company knew it had safety issues in Europe a full year before they disclosed the information to their American division.  That means there was either a cover-up or we’re supposed to believe that Toyota executives are completely incompetent in relaying information throughout their various divisions.

We’ve all been wondering how long it’s going to take before people’s memories fade and they jump on board the Toyota bandwagon again.  I asked my acquaintance in Oakland who had bad dealings with Toyota’s finance department whether he’d be tempted to buy another car from the company and he said “no way”.

I’d like to believe that the bad taste of owning a Toyota will stay a long time.  But the minute the company starts seducing buyers by dropping prices, people will most likely buy the cars no matter what the safety issues are. (KS, San Francisco)

Toyota Financing, Repossession & Unethical Auction

An acquaintance had his car repossessed after losing his job and not being able to keep up with payments.  He kept hoping that things pick up and he could start making his payments again but then one day there was a pounding on his front door.  A man had already hooked up his car to a tow truck and was ready to cart it off but just wanted to give him his business card “just in case”.

He told my friend that the car would be at a certain location for at least a month in case he could catch up with his payments.  A last ditch effort phone call to Toyota’s financial department to stop the repossession was in vain. They refused to take the last bit of money on a credit card my friend had and off the car went.

Well not only did the car not remain at the location specified by Toyota’s tow truck driver (some 50 miles away from my friend’s present location), it was transported 200 additional miles away making it totally impossible for him to get it back.

Within a week and a half of the tow, Toyota sent him a letter informing him he would have to pay all the back payments, plus “cleaning” costs, more magical fees and then they sprung it on him that they moved the car to some city he had never heard of.  They didn’t take the car back to the dealer from whom he purchased it – 50 miles away, in a town where he used to live.  They didn’t keep the car at the location specified by the tower – in the county where he was now living.  They took it to never-never land!  So even if he could catch up on his payments, how on earth was he going to make the journey to the new location?  He couldn’t.

The reason I say Toyota Motors financing department sucks is the manner in which they went about auctioning off the car.  They deliberately sold it for less than half it’s fair market value and expected him to pay for their losses.  That’s insane!  The law usually understands the concept of fair market value but apparently not in the case of a repossessed auto and how car companies play the repo game.  At least not in California.  It’s unethical.  And the law should be changed to provide a measure of fairness to the poor chap who gets his car towed away.

I know you could argue that he was his own fault for not making his payments.  Well it wasn’t his fault that he lost his job because of the unethical actions of banks in creating this crapping economy! (KS, San Francisco)

Website Assassin Wim Dankbaar Targets BrainTrackers

The obsessed Dutchman, Wim Dankbaar, who spends nearly every waking moment trying to prove that imprisoned scam artist James Files is the man who killed President Kennedy, is now targeting the BrainTrackers company and website in an effort to destroy the man behind it.  Mr. Dankbaar has manufactured an extraordinary number of lies to libel him and those with whom he associates.  Dankbaar claims he’s somehow owed money from a company he long ago destroyed, the Cybersoup network.  The reality is that Wim Dankbaar thinks EVERYONE owes him money.

The Dutchman cheated Bob Vernon, the man who sold him the rights to the James Files Hoax, out of $150,000, yet he claims that Mr. Vernon owes him.  Even Vernon calls Dankbaar a liar and fraud for essentially stealing the rights and continuing to push the Files fraud all these years.

Mr. Dankbaar is suing the daughter of deceased CIA agent Chauncey Holt, claiming SHE cheated him and owes him money too.  He claims he bought the entire rights to the Holt story and that she can’t talk about her own father now.  It has been reported (and it certainly seems to be the case) that Mr. Dankbaar sues or threatens to sue everyone he comes in contact with in his quest for glory over the JFK assassination.  Otherwise, why sell books and DVDs related to a story that’s been debunked all over the internet by some very smart people?

Vernon has said he is beginning to feel sorry for Mr. Dankbaar.  “He obviously can’t help himself.  He suffers from a form of obsessive compulsive disorder.  Mr. Dankbaar  is seriously obsessed about who killed JFK and feels compelled to defame anyone who disagrees with him or who won’t help deliver his message to the masses.  On top of that he engages in cyber bullying within a conspiracy mind-set.  It really is quite sad”

Mr. Dankbaar’s obsession and compulsion, if you will, has also lead him to join forces with a known internet stalker and ID Thief, April Kelley, a woman from Battle Creek, Michigan, who, along with her husband Edward F. Kelley, scam web programmers.  In true conspiratorial manner, the two parties are feeding off each other’s illusions and taking cues from one another as to how best destroy innocent people’s reputations.  The duo have also actually defamed some  people they found who simply built free websites at CyberSoup back when it was operational as a social networking site.

This Dutchman and his clone April Kelley hide behind their computers to continually force people to defend themselves by stepping up their libelous attacks every which way they can.  Then when people do try to defend themselves, he insists THEY have NO right to do so.  This self-importance on top of the OCD framework from which he operates is rather frightening.  People who have dealt with him say he can’t be stopped and that he would rather destroy everything and everyone in his path if he can’t get his way.

Mr. Dankbaar has a history of attacking people.  In 2007 he was jailed for invasion of privacy, conspiracy and email theft against his own business partner, a famous crime reporter in the Netherlands named Peter R. de Vries.  The two men were collaborating on a JFK assassination film project when the crime occurred.  Dutch news reports also state that Mr. Dankbaar not only stole business emails but personal ones of a sexual nature which he then transmitted to other people in the media.  Dankbaar later went on to threaten and harass three Dutch policemen and their families.  The Dutch courts ordered him to cease his actions and be fined for everyday that he refused.

Mr. Dankbaar is listed as a fraudulent author at allforums.com and fameandglory.com. His vile actions against Cybersoup associates is best understood by visiting that site.

Airport Security: Please Get it Right

So here we go again, making the entire flying public dance to the tune of airplane terrorists who manage to come up with one crazy scheme after another to blow up planes and nearly get away with it.  I’m pretty sure if I were on that flight and saw the terrorist in action I would have pummeled him to death right where he sat, except I would have moved out of danger from the flames, of course.  Luckily for me, most of my traveling is done in the semi-comfort of my car.

What is particularly irksome is the invasive proceedings everyone has to put up with, on top of the delays, missed flights, missed business meetings, missed vacation bookings and on and on.

Not a single TV news report that I’ve seen has discussed the radiation exposure through those totally obscene body scans that reveal people’s genitals.  It goes beyond obscene, because people in government think this is just dandy.

The public is already exposed to myriad germs by being forced to walk around without their shoes on.  The airports were originally supposed to supply little throwaway booties.  They don’t and they don’t care about people’s health because they’ve become bullies in a long line of bully legislation.

I find it unfathomable that no scientist can come up with a noninvasive throughly safe procedure to scan for weapons and toxins.  It’s 2010 for Christ sake, when do we start acting like we know what we’re doing about anything?  Do I have the answers?  Hell no. But surely there are people somewhere who can figure out at some of these things.

I’m all for profiling, especially after seeing one old woman being forced to stand out of her wheelchair and submit to body pats.  And I do say this somewhat facetiously, but maybe we should think about not allowing anyone from terrorist countries from being able to come to our country.  Oh, you’re Nigerian, sorry.  Of, you’re from Saudi Arabia, sorry – unless you’re coming here to give everyone a million dollars of your oil money or free gasoline for life.

TSA, FAA, Homeland Security … all of you, come up with something better.  And use some common sense while you’re at it.  If you’re going to continually irradiate people, at least have the courtesy of giving them free health care.  Oh I forgot, you guys in government can’t seem to get that going either.  And there aren’t even any terrorists involved with that!  I think I’m with the ACLU on this issue.  Please, get it right.
