I'm NOT a 99 Percenter!

I just can't understand why the socialistic outfits are allowed to continually use the term '99 Percenters' with impunity. To be honest I have only met one of these jokers face to face and he wanted to include me in his troop with that number. I called him on it.

I also asked him, since both the American Nazi Party (AKA National Socialist party) and the Communist Party USA were both backing the Occupy movement, which group he belonged to and was paying him for his work. I finally had to assume that he was a college 'student' and his parents were supporting him. He wouldn't answer me as to where his financing came from. He probably didn't know.

Anyway, What started this tirade is I get email messages from Katrina vanden Heuvel,
Editor & Publisher of The Nation magazine, a socialist rag that continually begs for 'Mo Money' and she had the audacity to write, "We were thrilled to see the emergence of the Occupy Wall Street movement right here in our backyard of downtown Manhattan. While the mainstream media initially reacted with snark and cynicism, The Nation was quick to recognize the power and appeal of this uprising of the 99 percent."

Now she has to realize that the 99% refers to only those who are not uber-rich and the 1% are the uber-rich. She also MUST know that NOT all of the 99% that are NOT part of the top 1% with big bucks in their pocket are in favor of the occupy whatever group. I'm not for one and of all my friends (few though they be) there might be a couple that favor the movement. Sure not many But whether a few or a lot the number, 99%, is a lie!... SO she is LYING when she uses that number and is doing so in order to get money. After all, the little letter said nothing of value to anyone. All it said was how wonderful The Nation Magazine is and to send them money.

Oh well... What did I expect. I am on their email list voluntarily. I thought to get the emails from them in order to stay on top of what he enemy is up to. So I can see that they are up to the same old thing. Lying and begging.

Like that is really a productive way to live a life.

War On Global Warming A Success!

(From ACK News Service) June 23, 2012 - Today, Gene Poole, AlGore's right hand person, announced that the war on global warming has been won. Said Mr. Poole through his secretary, Helen Back:

"We've finally managed to get a controlling hold on greenhouse gases. The earth is now cooling and doing so faster than we anticipated. In fact so much so that large sections of the jungles in South America, Africa and Asia are dying off for lack of carbon dioxide. The growth of the ice packs and glaciers is not helping either. We are now directing our efforts at getting people to leave a larger carbon footprint. Mr AlGore is doing his part by leaving all the lights on in all his mansions 24 hours a day. We politely request everyone on earth do the same. Oh! And if you must fly please do so in a private jet. Thank you.

Ileane Left, spokesperson for 'No More Carbon', an environmentalist group, said, "We didn't know that all life on Mother Earth is carbon based. I blame it on our school system for not teaching us that. Sorry for the damage we've done. But no, we are not giving back the donations we've collected. We will need that money to rent private jets."

Schwarzenegger Gives California Tax Dollars to Lawyers

The headline where I got this story from says, "California, other states sue U.S. on car emissions" - It is a Reuters story by Adam Tanner. Whoever he is. I think my title is more accurate. Here is a bit from the story as Reuters say's it:

California sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday, demanding a quick federal decision that would allow the nation's most populous state to limit greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.

"California is ready to implement the nation's cleanest standards for vehicle emissions, but we cannot do that until the federal government grants a waiver allowing us to enforce those standards," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

The long-threatened legal action follows a 2005 California law requiring new vehicles to meet tighter standards for emissions, starting with 2009 models introduced next year.

California needs a waiver from the federal government because it is seeking to impose stricter standards than those imposed under federal law. The legal filing asks the court to force a EPA decision on the matter.

If the EPA denies the waiver, "we sue again, and sue again, and sue again until we get it," Schwarzenegger told reporters.

prying1 sez: "Me! Me! Me! Let me answer the Governator!"

Oh well. Guess Stephen L. Johnson, the Administrator of the EPA can't hear me in Washington since I'm way out here on the Left coast...

Here is my answer anyway.

I'd first of all like the people of California to recognize that their governor is acting outside of his field. He has been listening to people that have only told him one side of the issue. There is a multitude of Real Scientists, not the social engineering types or those dependent on government grants who disagree with the so called global warming issue. He needs to throw their voices into the mix before he spends your taxpayer dollars on lawyers.

The waiver is denied because those money grubbing, so called environmentalists (Let's do a study on where they get their pocket change) are attempting to pass rules that the automotive industry is not quite ready to meet. They will then demand the automotive industry pay fines for not meeting the said requirements. Then they will take the money and buy fancy cars that pollute. Fancy cars that the normal Californian cannot afford because of high taxes.

To hell with them. Let them go out and get a real job. The lawyers can go chase ambulances and the environmentalists can go plant a tree and hug it.

Thank you.

Nuff said!

Environmentalists At It Again??? Wolves This Time

To tell you the truth I don't know everything there is to know about this. I may be missing something but I think not...

An online bulletin board I frequent had this posting:

WOLVES

Did anyone see this on TV?

If not maybe it's just here in NY, the commercial says that 600 Wolves will be killed very soon.

Check it out I glanced at it really quick but wanted to post this so maybe everyone will check it out. I think you can send an email to try and stop the Wolves from being killed.

In case I screw the link up it's

www.callofftheguns.org

Thanks *****
Call Off the Guns dot org

SO I go there and see that Old Bush Baby is at it again. Now the President that was never legally elected (twice) wants to slaughter wolves so that elk hunters can have more elk to massacre. Bunch of gun nuts every one of 'em.

Bush Administration Takes Aim at Wolves

A Bush Administration proposal would allow the slaughter of nearly 600 gray wolves in Greater Yellowstone and Central Idaho – while they're still on the endangered species list. Both Wyoming and Idaho are planning to use aerial gunning, as well as baiting and trapping, to exterminate wolves as early as this winter.

SO I DIG A LITTLE DEEPER...

First I notice there are no dates, no House or Senate numbers. Nothing leading the visitor to any outside news source. There is a "send a message" button so I click on it.

BINGO! A number to Google.

The next page has a form filled out with the subject line, "Protect Gray Wolves! (RIN 1018-AV39)"

So I Google RIN 1018-AV39 and find 246 hits, Some from Foreign Countries (Why would they be writing to our EPA?) and the second hit is for EPA.GOV -

Federal Register Environmental Documents


And the fourth hit is this

Federal Register: July 6, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 129

Going through the gobbledygook I find this piece of info I can understand:

We also propose to modify the 2005 special rule to allow private citizens in States or on Tribal lands with approved post-delisting wolf management plans to take wolves that are in the act of attacking their stock animals or dogs. All other provisions of the 2005 special rule, including the process to obtain Service approval and the conditions for reporting all wolf take, would remain unchanged.

So? Are the "Get People Riled Up Against Bush So We Can Hit 'Em Up For Money" groups at it again? I've no doubt that the email addresses collected by the NRDC ACTION FUND will have a "GIVE US MONEY" message in them ten seconds after the sucker fills out the spaces and pushes the 'Send This Message' button. Then try to get them to stop sending messages or from selling the address to their buddies...

I know I'm a skeptic but one thing I'm not skeptical about is most of funds the NRDC ACTION FUND receives will go into deep pockets. And wolves don't have pockets.

Do People Like To Be Fooled?Al Gore Is On the Loose Again!

People love magicians. Yet ultimately what is it magicians do to people?

Answer: Fool them.

That is about it. People are fooled by magicians but in such a way that it (usually) brings delight. So much so that they will pay to see a good magic act. I'm sure there are very few people that would not enjoy meeting David Blaine on the street.

~~~~~

One of the synonyms of magician is conjurer. Note the first sylable of that word is "CON".

Dictionary.com has these definitions (among others) for the word "CON"

–adjective
1. involving abuse of confidence: a con trick.
–verb (used with object)
2. to swindle; trick: That crook conned me out of all my savings.
3. to persuade by deception, cajolery, etc.
–noun
4. a confidence game or swindle.
5. a lie, exaggeration, or glib self-serving talk: He had a dozen different cons for getting out of paying traffic tickets.

Which brings me to the point of this posting. Some con artists (of the magician type) bring delight to people. Some of the crook and swindle type bring misery. Many a time we hear of someone having their life savings stolen from them through con artists. They are fooled into giving up whatever it is the con desires. Usually of monetary value.

Currently the talk show circuit has a con artist running amuck and a segment of our population is delighted with him. Al Gore is that person. This is in spite of it being shown and proven that he is a liar and a swindler. His purchasing so called 'carbon offsets' from himself should have given a clue to his devotees that they are being taken for a ride but NOOooo! They still dote on his every word.

~~~~~

His movie, An Inconvenient Truth has repeatedly been shown to be filled with fallacies yet he received an Academy Award for it. By all rights the award should be rescinded because the Academy does not give out awards for false documentaries.

Al Gore's new book, "The Assault on Reason" does the same as the movie did. It takes liberties with facts and presents them the way Al Gore wants us to see them. Slight of hand can be seen in the following lines from the book.

It is simply no longer possible to ignore the strangeness of our public discourse. I know I am not alone in feeling that something has gone fundamentally wrong. In 2001, I had hoped it was an aberration when polls showed that three-quarters of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein was responsible for attacking us on Sept. 11. More than five years later, however, nearly half of the American public still believes Saddam was connected to the attack.

This is nonsense and anyone who helps Al Gore by purchasing his book deserves to have their money stolen.

WAKE UP MR. ALGORE!!! Where did you get your numbers??? We know Sadamm did not have anything to do with the 9-11 attacks. We knew that at the time war against his government was debated in Congress. We also know that he harbored terrorists. This is not a war against Sadaam but against terrorists. Stop with the slight of hand!

Criminals on the RunWon't Be Fooled Again - - - Or will We???

Years ago, in my freshman year of high school there was one other freshman that brought pride to our entire class. I didn't hang out with him. Barely spoke to him because he ran with a different crowd. I never was sports minded (I'm still not) but still I took pride that there was ONE FRESHMAN, someone in my class that was on the VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM.

That freshman was John Goldenberg. Quite a guy! Very popular (amongst the jocks anyway) Pretty good looking. Reasonably good student. Teachers liked him and, as said before, the freshman took pride in him.

My high school even won the CIF (CA state H.S. championship) if I remember correctly for two years running. If not for two years we did at least win it once. As said before I'm not real sports minded. The fog of time is lifting some. I think we played for it twice and the second time we won.

WhooHoo! We won the CIF!

THEN!!!

The world came crashing down on the (by then Junior) class.

John Goldenberg was arrested and extradited to Mississippi. The CIF win was rescinded and all the H.S. football records had to be looked over and corrected.

It seems his real name was Jay Dennis Gould, was in his early 20's, was on the lam, wanted for bank embezzlement and finally caught. He was such a great football player because he was a good 4-5 years older than anyone else in the school.

Sure had me fooled along with everybody else. Except for the father of the girl that was concerned for his daughter's welfare. It was one man's questioning of history that revealed the past of Jay Dennis Gould (alias John Goldenberg).

John/Jay had come to town, was befriended by some people who believed his story of parents deceased, mean uncle who beat him regularly, his running away, school records destroyed when the little Mississippi school house burnt down. They took him in and helped him get into high school as a sixteen year old.

Quite the con artist. Guess that was why he was able to pull off the embezzlement and the falsification of his identity.

~~~~~

Which brings us closer to the present. It seems that Athens, Georgia and many in the blogging community were taken in by a man who rolled into town about a year back and established himself as an opinionated retiree who often wrote letters to the local paper, the Athens Banner-Herald.

"Norm Weatherby" also had a blog called Quantum Thought - A Palette for Thinking which had many links to other blogs. Mine included. The Blog was deleted after one final posting which said:

"Norm Weatherby is unable to Blog at this time and is asking for
everyone's prayers. He will log on again when able. Thanks for your
support."

The blog is back up at this time and has been taken over by a person only identifed as Mcdanial

Well, back to "Norm Weatherby". It seems his real name is Larry Ray Bess (66) and a fugitive who fled child rape charges in Ohio 18 years ago.

The Athens Banner-Herald story (free registration required) stated:

Bess was indicted in November 1989 on charges of rape and gross sexual imposition of a minor - a crime similar to aggravated sexual battery in Georgia - according to Wilson.

Bess also was wanted on a 1999 federal warrant charging him with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

Ohio prosecutors allege Bess raped his stepdaughter over a six-year period, 1983 to 1989, beginning when she was 6 years old. The assaults happened in North Royalton, a suburb of Cleveland, officials said.

Bess never was arrested, but a grand jury indicted him after the stepdaughter took her allegations to prosecutors, according to Wendy Clawson, spokeswoman for the Cuyahoga County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

"After he was indicted, he just took off," Clawson said.

I certainly hope that the stepdaughter finds some relief and comfort through his arrest and that his case is quickly settled with justice served to Bess in the way that he deserves.

One thing this posting shows is that running from justice is not new. Catching those running is not new either. I think that justice continuing the search for those running is a good use of tax dollars.

Our world is a safer place as a result.
