THEY WALK AMOUNG US

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:38:41 -0800

They walk among us

AND SOME OF THEM GET ELECTED TO PUBLIC OFFICE!!!

Before you decide to turn your healthcare and possibly your entire life over to FEDZILLA, you might want to read these notes from a National Airport ticket agent...these are true stories complete with names!

A D.C. 'airport ticket agent' offers some examples of 'WHY' our country is in trouble!!!

1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

2. I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts .''

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts , Cape Town is in South Africa ''
His response -- click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) called, furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando . He said he was expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!'' (OMG)

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked, ''Is it possible to see England from Canada ?''

I said, ''No.''

She said, ''But they look so close on the map'' (OMG, again!)

5. An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas . I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas . When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)

6. An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker, (Jerrold Nadler) called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'

He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight I think that's very rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..

8. A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman, Bobby Bright from Ala who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.''

10. Senator Dianne Feinstein called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , FL on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''

11. Mary Landrieu , La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China . After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.''

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa. When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!''

12. A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''

I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''

'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.

After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''

The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape that it's in! How could ANYONE this DUMB actually can get elected? I'll leave it to you to sort out the Dems from the Republicans; but a lack of common sense is a bipartisan disease...

YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED.

I don't write it, I just offer it for your consideration. Like manure, you just gotta spread it around.

LANCASTER - A long-awaited transformation of Lancaster Boulevard began Tuesday, with Mayor R. Rex Parris using a jackhammer to break up a piece of sidewalk near the Lancaster Sheriff's Station.

I could find a better way to spend 10 million dollars rather than waste it on a street few if any people use. With the economy in the s__t hole Lancaster is going to waste all that money on their friends while we are struggling against the toilet current .

Steve Cooley in Hot Water with Federal Court

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:39:16 -0800

Judge orders injunction against Steve Cooley

LEGAL: District attorney must stop discriminating and retaliating, based on union membership.
By Troy Anderson, Staff Writer
Updated: 03/03/2010 0857 PM PST

Describing District Attorney Steve Cooley's actions as "striking and rampant," a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction ordering Cooley to stop discriminating and retaliating against employees on the basis of their union membership, officials said Wednesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Otis D. Wright II wrote the allegations made by the prosecutors union in a lawsuit are "largely undisputed," noting Cooley's lawyers didn't deny that Cooley instructed Training Division Assistant Head Deputy Robert Dver to "undermine" the Association of Deputy District Attorneys.

"Such actions unquestionably interfere with the union's function and chill the free exercise of (the ADDA's) First Amendment rights," Wright wrote in his 11-page order. "Nevertheless, (the ADDA) have established a course of explicit retaliation by (Cooley's office) that is both striking and rampant."

Under the ruling, Cooley could be held in contempt of federal court if he further retaliates against prosecutors, said attorney Matthew G. Monforton, a former county deputy district attorney who represents the union.

"It's unfortunate that only an unprecedented federal court order can keep the chief law enforcement official in the county from violating the constitutional rights of his deputy prosecutors," Monforton said.

The injunction was issued in response to a lawsuit the 300-member ADDA filed against Cooley alleging he retaliated against veteran prosecutors by

transferring them to remote parts of the county, increasing their health insurance payments, demoting them and downgrading their performance evaluations.
Cooley did not return calls for comment, nor did his Los Angeles attorney, L. Trevor Grimm.

Wright's order prohibits Cooley's office from engaging in further punitive transfers or demotions, discriminatory distribution of benefits and discipline and discriminatory rates for medical or health benefit plans, according to an ADDA statement.

Wright also ordered Cooley to show cause by March 12 on why he should not be sanctioned for "frivolous and improper filings."

ADDA President Steve Ipsen described Wright's order as an "unparalleled action in response to unprecedented anti-union activity undertaken by an elected official and head county prosecutor."

"I just read the ruling and I found it chilling to read," Ipsen said. "It was shocking to me because we have been living under this type of abuse for so long. I didn't realize how bad it was until I read it from someone else's perspective."

The ADDA, which represents the more than 1,000 prosecutors in the D.A.'s Office, was certified as a collective bargaining unit in March of 2008. Many joined the union in direct response to an increasingly hostile work environment created by management policies instituted DA Cooley and his management team, according to the ADDA.

United we stand, divided they fall.
Coping

Covert investigations are about power and control. It's about suppression and censorship. Squashing dissidence. Overnight the target of these investigations will wake up and literally find themselves enemies of the state, and the agents of the state. Their lives will be disrupted in unspeakable ways, and their livelihoods. Many targets are broken to the point where they have very limited means of survival. This makes targets prime for suicide, false institutionalization, arrest, instigated car accidents, other accidents, or just assassination meant to look like an accident.

Being harassed in this way is a psychological battle that many targets are not ready for, and have to be ready for, if they are to survive. Survival also becomes more than just a psychological battle, because their lives are interfered with. These people will try to get them removed from their jobs, so they have no means of income or support. They will try to get them ostracised in their communities, with former friends and family. It will psychologically, and emotionally feel like the world is against you, and because so many people are taking part in this activity, that assessment will not be too far from the truth.

Survival will become a game of skill, craft, and a lot of luck. Don't discount prayers. Many of the targeted that I have encountered had a profound faith in God and many seem to be very intelligent people.

Live your life to the best of your ability.
Stay in control. It's your life and not their life.
Try to meditate and pray as you start your day.
Continue with your normal activities as best as possible.
Try not to loose your temper in public. This is what they want. In public stay as calm and serene as possible.
They have observed you, now it's your time to observe them. They have limited functions, once you tune into what they are doing, you can outsmart them.
Do not interact with them to the best of your ability. They crave the attention and interaction with targets. Try not to give it to them.
If you start to fight back and they increase the attacks at first, that's normal. Keep at it, be persistent. You will wear them down.
Do research on Gas-lighting, Cointelpro, Stasi secret police, psychopaths, cults, mobbing. Read books, watch movies, learn how they work.
Keep a journal of what's happening.
Rebuild your social circle. The way this works is by putting you into exile. The thing that you want to do is rebuild a social circle. If you live in a small town, try to find maybe someone in another town, or someone who is not taking part in the gang stalking. This works by cutting of your network, the best deference is to try to build or rebuild a network.
Make people aware of what is happening. This works well in silence. However in small towns this works because too many people are taking part. Go online if you have to, start a blog, call people on the phone.
Do an awareness campaign.

Get the word out.

The Dot *

The Dot *

FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS
CLEARED THIS UP.

For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the Indian embassy in Ottawa has recently revealed the true story.

When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab, or a motel in the United States . If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide us with technical advice.

he Dinner Roll

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:34:13 -0800

The Dinner Roll ...

Once upon a time I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President.

I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics.

There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a FREE country. There's nothing that the government can do to me if I've broken no laws. My wealth was EARNED honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor.

I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room.

We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner.

The meal was served , and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen..

"Sorry 'bout that," said the President. "Andrew is very hungry."

"I don't appreciate..." I began, but as I looked into the calm brown eyes across from me, I felt immediately guilty and petty. It was just a dinner roll. "Of course," I concluded, and reached for my glass.

Before I could, however, another waiter reached forward, took the glass away and swallowed the wine in a single gulp. "And his brother, Eric, is very thirsty," said the President.

I didn't say anything. The President is testing my compassion, I thought. I withheld my comments and decided to play along. I don't want to seem unkind..

My plate was whisked away before I had tasted a bite.

"Eric's children are also quite hungry."

With a lurch, I crashed to the floor. My chair had been pulled out from under me.

I stood, brushing myself off angrily, and watched as it was carried from the room.

And their grandmother can't stand for long."

I excused myself, smiling outwardly, but inside feeling like a fool. Obviously I had been invited to the White House to be sport for some game. I reached for my coat, to find that it had been taken.

I turned back to the President.

"Their grandfather doesn't like the cold."

I wanted to shout, "that was my coat!" But again, I looked at the placid smiling face of my host and decided I was being a poor sport. I spread my hands helplessly and chuckled.

Then I felt my hip pocket and realized my wallet was gone. I excused myself and walked to a phone on an elegant side table.

I learned shortly that my credit cards had been maxed out, my bank accounts emptied, my retirement and equity portfolios had vanished, and my wife had been thrown out of our home.

Apparently, the waiters and their families were moving in. The President hadn't moved or spoken as I learned all this, but finally I lowered the phone into its cradle and turned to face him.

"Andrew's whole family has made bad financial decisions. They haven't planned for retirement and they need a house. They recently defaulted on a subprime mortgage. I told them they could have your home. They need it more than you do."

My hands were shaking. I felt faint I stumbled back to the table and knelt on the floor.

The President cheerfully cut his meat, ate his steak, and drank his wine. I lowered my eyes and stared at the small grey circles on the tablecloth that were water drops.

"By the way," he added , "I have just signed an Executive Order nationalizing your factories.

I'm firing you as head of your business. I'll be operating the firm now for the benefit of all mankind.

There's a whole bunch of Erics and Andrews out there and they can't come to you for jobs groveling like beggars..we need to spread YOUR wealth around..."

I looked up. The President dropped his spoon into the empty ramekin which had been his crème Brule.

He drained the last drops of his wine. As the table was cleared, he lit a cigarette and leaned back in his chair.

He stared at me. I clung to the edge of the table as if it were a ledge and I were a man hanging over an abyss.

I thought of the years behind me, of the life I had lived. The life I had earned with a lifetime of work, risk and struggle.

Why was I punished? How had I allowed it to be taken? What game had I played and lost? I looked across the table and noticed with some surprise that there was no game board between us.

What had I done wrong?

As if answering the unspoken thought, President Obama suddenly cocked his head, locked his empty eyes to mine, and bared a million teeth, chuckling wryly as he folded his hands.

"You should have stopped me at the dinner roll," he said.
