Mumps

When nearly 1000 cases of mumps surfaced in Iowa the Center for Disease Control should have responded automatically as they are reportedly tracking such things with heavily financed programs in Atlanta. As it was Iowa and other Midwestern states had to report the problem to them in order to finally get them to respond with mumps vaccine.
What was the CDC doing when they should have been doing their job?
It looks like they were trying to prove that laziness is genetically inherited and that damaged DNA is not caused by stress and chemicals but is an indication of laziness.
Eugenics, which is the study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding is raising its ugly head in the United States again.
I received an unsolicited bit of mail the other day posing as a newspaper entitled ‘The Truth At Last’. It is produced by a group called ‘The National Vanguard’. It features writings by men like David Duke who contributed the article, ‘New Orleans: Africa-like savagery’.
You can also order books and tracts like ‘Defensive Racism’ and ‘The Biology of the Race Problem’ from their offices in Marietta, Georgia.
Twenty-two miles from Marietta are the offices of the Center for Disease Control.
Even through bird flu threatens the United States, AIDS continues to be an epidemic problem and other serious diseases flourish in the United States (like the outbreak of mumps in the Midwest) the CDC has turned its attention to something called ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’.
According to the Associate Press “chronic fatigue syndrome appears to result from something in people's genetic makeup that reduces their ability to deal with physical and psychological stress, researchers reported Thursday. “
The CDC is claiming that they have evidence that genetics along with stress can cause chronic fatigue syndrome.
That is - lazy people are genetically disposed to laziness and there is nothing you can do about it.
Dr. William Reeves of the CDC was quoted as saying, "The results are ground-breaking."
This information was published in 14 articles published in this month's issue of Pharmacogenomics, published by ‘nature publishing group‘, which is a subsidiary of Macmillan Publishers, Ltd., which is owned by a German company called Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH.
The Macmillan Company has, in the past, published such items as, “The Kallikak Family: A Study in the Heredity of Feeblemindedness” by Goddard, H.H. in 1912, “Gifted Children: Their Nature and Nurture“, by Hollingworth, L.S. in 1926, “Eugenical Sterilization: A Reorientation of the Problem.”, by Myerson, A., J.B. Ayer, T.J. Putnam, C.E. Keeler, and L. Alexander in 1936, “Foundations of Educational Sociology”, by Peters, C.C. in 1930, “Applied Eugenics“, by Popenoe, P. and R. Johnson in 1918.
Don’t you think it’s time for the CDC to account for its actions and all the money that is poured into it by the States and the Federal Government?

Saudi Whining

Just recently the Prince Turki Al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia showed up in Dearborn Heights in Michigan.
Speaking about Americans and their views on Saudi Arabia he said, "There is images of deserts and camels and gushing oil wells and fat and sneaky-looking people wearing robes and headscarves."
I don’t think that way and I am insulted that Prince Turki Al-Faisal intimated that Americans are small minded.
My idea of Saudi Arabia is of a vast and rocky land filled with poor people being pushed out of their jobs and their birth right by workers from other countries that will take low wages and act like slaves.
When I think of camels in Saudi Arabia I imagine the robot jockeys they put on them to race and the millions of dollars that drunken sheikhs waste on gambling while children are starving in the Saudi hills and mountains.
I don’t think of gushing oil wells, I think of hundreds of thousands of wells pumping oil out of the ground and shunting it to some of the largest and most sophisticated refineries in the world. Instead of producing raw materials for Saudi industry the Prince and his friends sell the stuff off to the highest bidder, which lately, looks like it is Communist China.
As for fat and sneaky-looking people I have to say that most of the princes I see look like skinny little guys whose beady eyes are filled with lust and greed. What else would men with 40 wives and billions of dollars do?
As for people wearing robes and headscarves we already know the men run around in dresses and they don’t allow their women to show their faces or their hair or to speak in public or drive a car or get a job or vote or speak up for themselves at home.
We know there is a vicious undercurrent of violence and hatred in Saudi home life and political life and public life.
They have been the friends of our enemies and are about to do so again.
What can you do about it?

The China Email

This has been a week to remember if you are interested in international events or even just a little bit curious about what is going on in the United States.
This week Emperor Hu of China, I mean President Hu of Communist China, came to see President Bush.
I had a visitor from Communist China myself.
He wrote that he was actually from the Internal Revenue Service of the United States.
It was a phishing exercise and it went like this :
“ After the last annual calculations of your fiscal activity we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $63.80. Please submit the tax refund request and allow us 6-9 days in order to process it.
A refund can be delayed for a variety of reasons. For example submitting invalid records or applying after the deadline.
To access the form for your tax refund, please click here

The part where it said, ‘click here’ was highlighted in blue.
If I had clicked there a special program would have tried to steal personal information from my computer and, if possible, allow criminals to use it in order to raid my bank account, use my credit cards or create fraudulent documents like fake social security cards.
I didn’t click on the words ‘click here’.
I did look to see where the message came from, however, and here is the English version of that address :
http://dghualon.com/english/html/star.htm
The head office of the company is in Taiwan and the factory is in Communist China.
The United States supplies Taiwan with weapons to protect itself from Communist China.
But who is protecting Americans from them?
They make resistors and chips and things of that nature.
They put them in products that are shipped here.
But that’s not enough.
Besides that their governments encourage fraud, deceit and lying.
Are you benefiting from world trade or are you just getting your pockets picked?
We have plenty of missiles but who knows who they are pointed at these days.
We have plenty of tanks but most of them are in Iraq and need repairs.
We have plenty of guns but a lot of people here just enjoy pointing them at other Americans.
They wouldn’t mind stealing from me - what makes you think they are not stealing from you?

Blame it on Texas

There’s been a lot of hooting and hollering about illegal immigration lately.
No one has really said anything about how the problem came to be.
First of all it was Texas who allowed over 5 million illegal immigrants in over a very short period of time. It wasn’t as if these folks were showing up in Nebraska, Maine or upstate New York.
There has always been movement between Mexico and California but what happened in Texas was really unique.
The Texans pretty much sold and gave away most of their state in return for cash.
We have 50 states and one of them tried this experiment.
Apparently it failed because after selling everything off the Texans couldn’t pay their regular bills.
So we ended up with men like Representative Tom Delay and Kenneth Lay from Enron.
The big fight now is that republicans in general realize what they did in Texas and the Texans want to do it to the rest of the country.
That just won’t fly.
Things look bad now but it has become apparent that there are some elements in Texas that live their lives taking what doesn’t belong to them.
You can get away with that sort of thing for a short time but in the long run it’s got to stop.
What happened in Texas can be a warning to the other 49 states as they chart out their course for the future.
Lesson 1 : Don’t sell your land, your heritage or your people.

Dead Zone

There is an oxygen-starved "dead zone" in Lake Erie. Many international scientists with extensive equipment and research vessels are gathering in Ohio to find out why.
Among them are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) landlocked Ann Arbor, Michigan Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. They will be the leaders in the 2-year long study.
If the construction keeps up on Michigan roadways it will probably take them that long just to drive down there.
Included will be dozens of scientists and their graduate students from Canada, Great Lakes states, universities and some other federal agencies, because one is just not enough when it comes to spending money.
Some of the researchers have already pegged certain reasons for the dead zone including the zebra mussel – but they haven’t explained that one too well. Low water levels, fertilizer and other chemical runoff may be investigated if they come up empty on the zebra mussel.
Apparently preparing to spend as much money as he can before he gets started, Stephen Brandt, director of the landlocked lab in Ann Arbor stated, "We not only want to find out why this is happening, we want to find out how it might affect the food web and what the consequences might be."
One possible reason they will not be investigating is the impact of High Pressure Injection wells. There are two sets of them, one on each side of Cleveland, where the problem seems to be centered.
The dead-zone is just like the dead zones that have appeared with increasing frequency in the Gulf of Mexico.
The reason that these large bodies of deoxygenated water with higher than usual levels of salt in them are appearing in the Gulf of Mexico is most likely due to water being pushed out of the earth far from injection points.
In Michigan – the waters encased deep within the earth are also largely without oxygen and if they are pushed to the surface or near the surface where they can enter the lake body they will cause as much damage and trouble as the floating dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico.
Don’t expect these landlubbers to check these problems out, however, they will most likely be spending the season tripping over deck ropes and sailing amongst the picturesque islands of Lake Erie and spending their evening writing really long reports.
Result – lots of money spent and nothing solved.

100 Year Storm

We hear about them in public meetings and read about them in newspapers around
the United States. From every small town and hamlet to the biggest cities
engineers talk about 100-year storms.
Even the larger storms, like hurricanes can come in the 100-year variety. These
storms are so called because their force is so powerful that they are suppose to
occur only once every hundred years.
There are other levels of storms as well. 10 year storms, 20 year storms and
50 year storms. These are all mixed in with the regularly occurring rain
showers we all experience.
The 10, 20, 50 and 100 year storms come in varieties as well. There 10 year
wind storms and 10 year rain storms. Hail seems to be a special case and could
occur at any time.
A fellow by the name of Jafar Korloo has been designing offshore platforms for
Unocal. He has this to say about 100 year storms, "We're seeing more 100-year
events happening more often, even every few years."
To a reasonable human being that would mean they aren’t 100 year events.
What is not explained at public meetings or in the newspapers is why these 10,
20, 50 or 100 year events are mentioned at all.
Well, they are used by engineers in order to inform an uninformed public about
the costs for certain structures. They can also be used by insurance adjustors
to determine insurance rates.
The scales for determining weather are different all over the country.
The University of Minnesota has this to say about 100-year storms, “A "100-year
storm" drops rainfall totals that had a one percent probability of occurring at
that location that year. Encountering a "100-year storm" on one day does nothing
to change your chances of seeing the same amount of precipitation the very next
day.”
The Scottsdale Arizona Road Drainage Master Plan tells us this about 100-year
storms, “A 100-year storm is an event that statistically has a one percent
chance of occurring in any one given year. If protection from a 100-year storm
could not be attained for reasons of cost, impact, available land, etc., then a
10-year level of protection could be used in the design of flood control
facilities. A 10-year storm has a ten percent chance of occurring in a given
year.”
It would follow then that if a 10 year storm has a 10 percent chance of
occurring in a given year that a 20 year storm would have a 20 percent chance.
Let us follow the logic therefore up to 30 year storms – that would be a 30
percent chance of occurrence. Now 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 – that would provide 40
percent, 50 percent, 60 percent, 70 percent and 80 percent.
Let’s go all the way with it then and go for 90 and 100. If a 10 year storm
has a 10 percent chance of occurring in one year then a 90-year storm would have
a 90 percent chance of occurring and a 100 year storm would have a 100 percent
chance of occurring.
But we just read that it only has a 1 percent chance of occurrence.
Let’s move on to waves at sea. There is also a scale for waves – they come in
all the levels that storms come in – from 10-year waves to 100-year waves.
The problem with the present scale is that is has been discovered in the last
two years that waves at sea are much higher than previously thought on a regular
basis.
Will these problems be worked out soon or will we continue to leave them to ill trained and corrupt bureaucrats?

3 Branches

This is the United States.
We have 3 branches of government.
The Judicial, the Executive and the Legislative.
We don’t want tyrants.
Irresponsible and angry politicians like Tom Delay and self promoting ministers like Pat Robertson are making trouble.
Judge Lefkow in Illinois was the victim of judicial revenge. The attacker killed her husband and mother. The murderer would have killed Judge Lefko as well but she wasn’t home.
Judge Lefkow is right in saying that attacks on the judicial branch by televangelist Pat Robertson and some members of Congress create an atmosphere of disrespect for judges. It also fosters a hatred of our laws.
Judge Lefkow said that "can only encourage those who are on the edge or on the fringe to exact revenge on a judge who displeases them."
I join with Judge Lefkow as she calls on politicians to "publicly and persistently repudiate gratuitous attacks on the judiciary."
Pat Robertson said this about judges. "They're destroying the fabric that holds our nation together." He continued: "Over 100 years, I think the gradual erosion of the consensus that's held our country together is probably more serious than a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings."
Tom DeLay of Republican of Texas, retiring House majority leader, threatened retribution against the judges who refused to intercede in the Terry Schiavo case in Florida.
Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, said recently that courthouse violence might be explained by anger at judges "making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public."

Harvard University and Racism

There is something going wrong in America. Mr. Cohen of the Washington Post is right in calling the writings of those Harvard eggheads John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt anti-semitic. Their writing is nothing more than Jew-baiting and it is offensive to every American.
To give you an idea of what sort of guy David Duke is read on.
I received an unsolicited copy of 'The Truth At Last' in my mailbox the other day.
David Duke has an article in it.
It is titled : "New Orleans: Africa-like savagery"
Subtitled : "Roving gangs of Blacks raid nursing homes and even children's hospitals".
In the article are notes such as these :
"Once again, guns save lives and property."
"The looting has now reached biblical proportions."
"To the terrified Whites of New Orleans, what appeared to be official or police vehicles often contained armed killers and rapists."
"People who are still there are hiding in closets from after 5:00 PM until the sun comes up."
"Gangs of crackheads are roaming the streets with guns in stolen city vehicles robbing, raping and killing."
"No one was dying of thirst, save perhaps for a few hopelessly trapped in their attics from risen waters."
"And a report of massive number of Negro criminals raiding a children's hospital has just come across the wire:..."
"Is this America - or Africa?"
"It's in the genes"
"I am reminded of the Northwest Airlines plane crash in Detroit in 1987, when the denizens of ghetto descended on the carnage and stripped the still-smoldering bodies and body parts of the victims of their watches, wallets, jewelry and other possessions."
Gives you an idea of what is going on at Harvard.
