Vaccination Hounds on the Move Again

A lawyer-friend told me recently that States have some jurisdiction over parents when it comes to decisions about minor children. Although, I don't understand how that works, I do know that school districts nation-wide have been "pulling rank" over parents with increasing frequency and making some pretty rank "mandatory decisions." Parents with kids in public schools have almost no say. Now New Jersey wants to vaccinate the babies for colds and flu!

The modern vaccine movement is a racket—the easy money du jour for pharmaceuticals. They rule what MDs do and say, then our witless public officials fall promptly in line. It's an easy $trillion each time a vaccine becomes mandatory, and that money is guaranteed-subsidized by the State.

The first vaccinations were in response to a clear and present danger. Now its the "likelihood" of complication from the "likelihood" of a cold that prompts a state-wide hijacking of parental authority. Doesn't New Jersey have bigger fish to fry anyway? These preschoolers aren't a threat to the State, UNLESS this is a means to address the crisis of emergency rooms being used as clinics to treat colds and flu! If that is the case, shame on New Jersey, CDC, and all those medical associations for being so manipulative. Deal with the real problem, and stop forcing American families to absorb the consequence of your failure and greed.

This is crazy, why vaccinate a toddler against a cold?

Stop pushing the toxic, high-fructose, genetically (untested) modified foods down the throats of preschoolers and colds won't be such a threat. Oh yea, preschools cannot get Federal money unless they provide government prescribed meals featuring refined food hall-of-famers such as commercial macaroni and cheese and peanut butter (made in China) and jelly on white bread. Plus all kids must be vaccinated with the other eight or nine vaccines to get into those preschools.

Isn't it cheaper to pass out free vitamins?

I think so, however pharmaceuticals have exhausted existing vaccine markets and now want fresh new venues for their wares. The elderly are doped up on every conceivable medication. Pre-teen girls are already in the vat, and pre-teen boys are being introduced to a new steroid everyday. The only group where pharmaceuticals don't have a comparable market share—babies and toddlers. Every child born is a potential stream of income for these companies.

Too many vaccines have more serious side-effects than the indications they are designed to address. These meds are put on the market immediately and the age of the vaccinated is increasing younger. Right now, the CDC wants pre-teen girls to be vaccinated for sexually transmitted microbes that accompany promiscuity. Districts in Massachusetts are distributing birth control pills to 11-year old girls without parental knowledge! No doubt, I abhor with this trend. Parents are scorned as nuisances, and administrators drink whatever kool-aid they are given, and in a drunken stupor, issue their golden edicts.

I wish we could know how much money passes under the table to get a school district or an entire state on board with the latest scare.

Parents, if this is a test, it won't stop here. It is critical to get interested in the vaccination issue and study these things for yourselves. And scream louder, if Mr. Administrator won't listen.

Mayor Phil Gordon Changes His Tune: Was He Telling the Truth In the First Place?

A gesture which was needed several years ago is still a non-issue because Gordon has not really done anything yet but talk about illegal immigration and Phoenix Op Order 1.4.3. Furthermore, it remains to be seen, what real change will come from his "panel" of friends. I agree with County Attorney Thomas, why is a panel needed to decide this issue? It ceases to amaze me what a big deal Gordon makes of his own selfish agenda.

Not two months ago, after a press conference with the Phoenix police union, Gordon declared he had no control over Phoenix Op Order 1.4.3. He verified that it was up to the Police Chief and he was not supposed to have any say in the matter. At that time, Gordon stood by the order and basically inferred we were racists to want to change it.

Gordon is untrustworthy at best. It would be a great disservice to the state of Arizona were he to pursue another elected position. All of his wrangling and manipulation suggests that he thinks Phoenix residents are mindless and forgetful stooges. Most definitely, we are not.

Not only that, but this week's latest propaganda attempt via the "Project for Arizona's Future" or better, the "Project for Phil Gordon's Future," adds to the general insult, reiterating the police chief's parroted point of view: "We believe it is inappropriate to shift the burden of this societal issue from the federal government onto the back of local law enforcement."

Now, enter the threat of a career-maiming law suit from Judicial Watch and Gordon sings a couple of octaves higher. He continues his shameless blame-fest against the federal government while trying to backpedal his way upstream to the governors office. Per his new edict, "the federal government is unable to complete what they should be doing, and I as mayor cannot allow the situation, the status quo, to stay the same and risk public safety."

Of all his blundering, transparently self-serving, politically-motivated, conspicuously egregious ploys, this takes the cake!

Who's Planning the Mexican Revolution?

Vicente and his pals have ripped off the poor in Mexico and are sending them thither. That's not enough, with the threat of more deportations, a chillier reception of illegals, and the FENCE (that ecologically insensitive racist fence) something has got to be done. So they've gotten busy. Not developing jobs for their economy, not asking the U.N. for relief, not passing new legislation for farm productivity, no they are busy writing books to persuade Americans to keep them!

Twenty- thirty- million Mexican illegals need to take the "Revolution of Hope" to Mexico City and flog the ones who have been fleecing them for the last thirty years. Can someone from Mexico please check Forbes.com? Some of the richest people in the world are Mexicans and drilling your oil, selling your crops, mining your gems, and sending you to beg for U.S. welfare and equal opportunity. But they've got your back. They'll scream racism while you stand in line. They want you to March on Washington—resurrect a movement inspired by plight of a race that had truly been disenfranchised. It is the shame of a century.

Mexico needs a revolution, but not the one Fox wants. A real revolution. Fox won't convince a soul that one of the one of the most beautiful and richest geographical masses on earth can't support the people who live there. It's a pity that those who can make a difference are continually brokering deals to shut out the bulk of the nation from her share. It's a pity that those who can make a difference can't think of any remedy other than to call Americans racists. The conquest Mexico needs is in Mexico. Mexico City, the second largest city on earth, the cite of the world's next civil war.

Vicente Fox Calls Americans Racist: Wants Us to Buy His New Book!

Vicente Fox Wants Americans to Send More Money

Word is out. According to an article on myfoxphoenix.com, Vicente Fox is after a piece of the action with a book of his own (in English). He aims to garner publicity by taunting the American public decrying us as racists.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday that the United States is letting racism dictate its policies, especially when it comes to immigration. "The xenophobics, the racists, those who feel they are a superior race ... they are deciding the future of this nation," he said, without naming names, in an interview with The Associated Press. In his first interview to promote his new book, "Revolution of Hope," Fox applauded President Bush's desire to pass an immigration accord that would allow more Mexicans to work legally in the U.S.But he criticized Bush for failing to pass the promised reform. --myfoxphoenix.com

What orbit is Vicente in anyway? Why won't anybody tell him that all of us (white, black, yellow, red xenophobes) are supposed to be deciding the future of this nation...not the leaders of Mexico. Who told him Bush was God? He got sold a hill of beans and now he wants to salvage his crisis by selling us a book.

If the U.S. State Department had reason to believe that Americans were in trouble in another country, those Americans would be warned to leave that country. They would be assisted in leaving were that necessary. Considering the surge in American frustration and the crumbling buttress of American largess, Mexican illegals are facing a type of "threat" indeed. By contrast, with Margarita in hand, Mexican leaders are writing books and referendums to chide the U.S. for not providing for their citizens and their criminals. In my previous post, Fox's buddy Juan is also planning a book (in English too). He wants to address the growing anti-ILLEGAL immigration sentiment in America.

First of all, I hope not one American buys either book. But, you can bet that until those books are published, both Fox and Hernandez will continue to exploit the liberal media for free publicity by calling Americans racists and xenophobes. The Mexican elite wants to sell us books. They want Americans to buy books about why Mexican illegals should become citizens. The Mexican elite want us to give them money. They want Americans to pay them to tell us why we should give 30 million illegal Mexicans U.S. citizenship!

Town & Country Foods Inc: A Heads Up

Optimism staged a successful coup over instinct at a festival this month. Quickly... Town & Country Foods (townandcountryfoods.com) had the only food booth that was not pandering sugar-glazed substances. When I approached, I learned that the petite steak sandwiches were not for sale but for giveaway. If I entered my name and number, a sales person would deliver a no-obligation presentation along with a complimentary assortment of quality meats. I ignored the blinking "Yea Right" sign.

When the sales person called, I had the distinct feeling that I was not talking to an adult or perhaps the adult was mentally impaired to some degree. The opener is, "we forgot to give you your free meat." Next, in the prequalifying "grille-down," I was asked whether I had a credit card. Up went another blinking sign. It did not seem reasonable to blast the messenger, so I simply challenged the relevance of the question. "Well, I'm just supposed to ask you that", I prepared to hang up the phone. Before hanging up, the lad asked if I would wait while he confirmed the schedule with his supervisor. I'm curious now, so I listen in since their phone was not equipped with a hold button. In the background, I could hear him nagging the supervisor to come to the phone. Ultimately, she told him to put me on hold, but he wouldn't. I put myself on hold. After about two days, they called again...and again. Finally, I answered, and the same lad is present, seemingly without memory of our last conversation. "We forgot to give you your free meat," he says. Well...what would you say to that?

Needless to say, I did not want any Town & Country Foods. The business seemed more like a sham. I felt they were looking for prey, not customers. Moreover, employing the equivalent of a juvenile as the lead sales rep tells its own story. It seemed useless to lay all this on that young man, so I simply conveyed that I was not interested. The first time I said I was not interested, he countered, "No, ma'am, you don't understand." The second time I said it, his phone must have already been on its way to the carriage, because there wasn't a nanosecond between the "not interested" and the disconnect.

All sorts of characters do business in this economy. Some are serious, some are devious, and there are many in between. The jury is out on Town & Country Foods. I only know of one other dissatisfied customer, and BBB online reports that the company resolved the 16 complaints lodged this period. The Town & Country Foods website suggests they are based in Colorado, but they have a very Orem, Utah-ish* feel about them. Why are so many trying to bleed the public? The saddest part is that there is enough of an unsuspecting public to make it profitable. A good food delivery service would really be grand! But get real, stop attaching all the gimmicks and lures. It's only food, not a Senate Appropriations Bill. Note: if anyone wants groceries delivered, checkout Safeway Online. It's fabulous and gimmick-free.
_______________________________________
*No doubt there are fine businesses in Orem, but there are so many shams/scams based there, the town might consider a name change soon. I've attended at least one Orem-sponsored "seminar." Now, I get offers in the mail from Utah regularly, they are mostly from Orem and they use the same tactic: a free waste-your-day-get-rich-now-athon leading up to an outrageously expensive hook only available then and there.

Mahmoud and Hernandez Love to Exploit Freedoms They Won't Pursue For Their Own Countrymen

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Mexican-sometimes American Juan Hernandez love uniquely American freedoms when it comes to capitalizing on them personally, but not for their own countrymen. The people in Iran aren't free to express themselves on an international stage. They will not be free to see the uncut versions of the Columbia University fiasco or other world events as long as Mahmoud and his backers control the country. And the majority of Mexican workers will not be free to earn livable wages while any of Hernandez's homeboys have anything to do with it.

Hernandez has a book to be released, "The New American Pioneers." Can you believe it? "We don't need to close our borders," he rants. "Why are we afraid of Mexican immigrants?" He obviously thinks Americans are dumb? Is that it? Are we mindless drones who can't discern the delicate distinction between legal and illegal immigration? Are we so unwitting that we fail to see the consequence of a hostile foreign under-class. I wonder if Hernandez will publish his book in Mexico or the U.S.? Will Side1 be upside down in Spanish and Side2 upside down in English? Of course he won't allow that nonsense. Despite La Raza's best efforts, U.S. students are still taught American history. English-speaking consumers will know that his "new pioneers" aren't really new or American. I predict sluggish sales.

Both Hernandez and Mahmoud shamelessly dispense 1950's style propaganda targeted at the generation that perfected propaganda. But neither one spends half as much energy trying to improve the lot of their own countrymen. Iranians and Mexicans are suffering tremendous poverty and disenfranchisement. Hernandez's answer is to send them here. Mahmoud's answer is to blow up Israel. Their propaganda merely communicates their disdain for America and their unreasonable trust that we are all senseless and indiscriminately impressionable.

Moving Rainbow Time Lapse

This has got to be one of the most fantastic videos. It shows a rainbow forming. Be patient, it is time-lapsed.
Does it make you happy? Is it in anyway evidence of God in heaven?

Interstate Highways For Sale

"Nothing like public service; it's why we're paid the big dollars." That was a comment from a DOT official in Texas this week. They've been getting angry email about the proposal to convert Interstate roadways to private toll roads. I thought this was humorous comment, but it's really too serious to laugh. Civil servants along with elected officials operate with a very vague sense of accountability to the public. To them, American citizens have become the masses that need to be managed. We are not thinking, reasoning families and individuals. No... the arrogance in "public service" these days suggests that government officials think we are herds of cows waiting for the next crack of the whip to tell us where to go.

My longest stint with the Federal Government lasted seven years. If you have ever worked in a government office, you know that government employees receive a lot of training. Anything, sexual harassement, diversity awareness, retirement coaching, photo copier training. The problem is that most government employees never get any training on the function of government--what it is supposed to do and to whom it is accountable. They don't get it in our broken down public schools and they don't get it on the job. What we end up with is essential a corrupted system. Abusers and unwitting alike don't have a clue what to do with authority other than use it to their advantage. That's how you get the Federal Reserve Bank, Dubai-owned American ports, Dubai-owned New York Stock Exchange, and Dubai-owned London Stock Exchange.

Anytime you can figure out a way to tax American citizens each time they perform a routine activity--like driving down the road--you should look over your shoulder for a well-financed "private interest." Texas is only the proving ground. Lou Dobbs reported this phenomenon earlier this year, but it was too incredulous at the time for me to wrap my head around it.

I'm writing letters a lot these days and I'm teaching my children how to write letters too. We have a population of misguided and poorly-educated adults who are assuming leadership positions they don't always understand. It's time right now to get busy making noise. Loud noise, so that the ones who are not really interested in public service scram and make room for truly noble public servants.

How to Answer a Serial Attention-Seeker

There is commentary adrift that pretends to discredit Andrew Meyer as a crazed attention-seeker. I find it illogical and suspiciously political. First of all, Meyer was thought to be off-center when he started talking to Kerry. What sense does it make to change the headlines now? Besides, what does attention-seeking have to do with being tasered by the police? It doesn't matter. Short of intending to harm property or person, police should not have used any sort of gun. His crime was annoying a crowd of people. You can see how shallow real tolerance is in our culture. He annoyed the crowd, so he deserved to be shot. This from a room-full of people gathered to see John Kerry. Look folks, he did not have a back pack full of cocaine. The book he was waiving was not a weapon of mass destruction. He wasn't trying to steal your identity. But somehow he was annoying enough to "deserve" being roughed up by the police. Aren't there more important things to be annoyed by.

Despite his rude behavior, he was prompted to speak. Apparently, Kerry continued to speak past his scheduled limit too which provoked the short Q&A session. If campus police had approached Kerry with handcuffs for going overtime, don't you think Kerry might have inquired with a curious "what for?"

The Best Way to Answer a Serial Attention-Seeker

People who don't subscribe to the Britney Spears/Paris Hilton genre of marketing don't go after the celebrities with tasers. They don't buy their videos, they don't visit their websites, or buy their perfume. How did we get here? We reserve ample latitude for people who commit violent crimes and show utter contempt for those who disrupt our meetings.

Imagine it if Britney walked into the University of Florida auditorium in her classic attention-getting style. Imagine she refused to leave and suggested that she had some questions for Kerry. Perhaps some of Britney's questions were uttered with slurred speech and infringed upon the ability of others to ask questions. Imagine Kerry invited her to speak anyway. Now annoyed by her rudeness, what if the police grabbed her without warning. Petite as she is, what if she managed to slip away to inquire why she was being arrested? Do you taser her and bring on worldwide sympathy for her cause. Or do you drag her out of the room and let her behavior bring on the adjustment she needs?

Late Breaking: University of Florida Student Tasered

There is a rude and obnoxious person around every corner. If this is was a justifiable use of a gun, how do you evaluate which rude people deserve to be shot in the future? It's sad that so many condone the use of a taser to control rudeness which is precisely what happened. I saw the video, Meyer was not threatening HARM to anyone. He was merely an "inconvenient" presence. If the police had tasered a dog, there would be jail time for the offending officer. Case in point, in Phoenix a police officer was jailed for the accidental death of his police dog. The officer is in jail, but in Maryland, a child molester is on the streets. Back on the streets because, over the course of three years, the judge could not find a translator of his native language. Never mind that it only takes six weeks to learn English. The man who's repeated, premeditated crime was against a child is free, but the one who's accidental crime was against a dog is in jail. Guaranteed, if the rapist had been tasered, the policeman would have gone to jail, not the rapist. Andrew Meyer DID NOT deserve to be tasered. I don't care how much he inconvenienced you. On the ground with multiple burly officers on top of him was not the time to pull the trigger. John Kerry and his squat team have it backwards. This is an obscene lapse of judgement by a brood of unprepared "officers of the peace." How is it that the penalty for infringing upon the schedule of a U.S. Senator is a crime deserving such action by the police? John Kerry owes the public an apology for his smallness and cowardice. As a public official, he had an opportunity to lead the police through the safe removal of the student-OR-to gracefully remain patient. But he blew it because he was consumed with himself and his ideology too much to see that Andrew Meyer was him 40 years ago.

Why Are Any Voting Ballots in the U.S. Printed in English and Spanish?

Every year, I get ballot information in the mail that costs twice as much in time and money than it should. It takes twice as long to read it because everything...every word and punctuation mark is translated into Spanish and printed alongside the English portion of the ballot or printed upside down on the back of the ballot. It costs twice as much to print, and extra to mail.

The City of Phoenix can't afford the number of police we need to manage the exploding crime rate, but somehow we have the resources to create and publish EVERY public document and every public website in two languages. It takes a few weeks total to learn English. We pay to educate the anchor babies and illegal immigrant children alike. Then we pay to duplicate every public document in Spanish! What sense does this make! None, it's i n s a n e ! How, how do we end up with eligible voters who CAN'T SPEAK AND READ ENGLISH! I studied Spanish from grade school through high school as an ELECTIVE. I learned Spanish to enrich my mind, not so I could vote!

Now, the mayor declares we need more money to pay for extra police and firemen. We do, but which of us can’t figure out why? An unreasonably significant portion of the population in Phoenix doesn’t understand English. And too much of the city’s influx are fugitives, are coming to commit a crime, or coming while committing a crime.

First of all, stop wasting our money. I work hard. I don’t like it when greedy, top-heavy municipalities demand extra money because they refuse to use common sense. Phoenix exacts one of the highest sales taxes in the United States. The most upscale municipalities don’t tax as much as Phoenix does. And I am furious, that any government has the gall to propose to intelligent hardworking people that more taxes are needed to “protect us” while they simultaneously try to score a raise. Phoenix police men and women must cope with a horrific wave of crime for which the city government is partly responsible. As a result of Gordon's sanctuary city, indeed we are all more vulnerable to chaos. Stop all that winning about the federal government and do something smart. Phil Gordon has more authority to manage Phoenix than the White House ever will. However, he will continue to whine because he does not seem to understand the American constitution. Moreover, Gordon is on the same page as pro-illegal immigration activists who care nothing about the U.S. and despise those of us who do. And a note to all broadcast producers: spare us from any more dribble by foreign spokesmen and the likes of Juan Hernandez. They wrongly assume we are a bunch of witless dummies who believe everything we hear. It’s unimaginable—thinking you've tuned into an update about the illegal immigration but instead, in broken english, hearing how Americans WANT illegal workers, DON’T WANT to work, and how the economy would CRUMBLE if illegal aliens were not here.

This is not about hispanics, turks, blacks, buddists, etc . What American in their right mind should tolerate the disdain of arrogant foreigners who want to tie our hands with our own laws while they run off with our elections, schools, hospitals, quiet neighborhoods and streets.

What Good Is a Fatwā Anyway?

Dennis Prager interviewed Robert McFarland (of the Reagan Administration) telephonically on his show this morning. I listened as McFarland described his participation in negotiations between the top religious leaders of Shia and Sunni tribes. These leaders are considering issuing a Fatwa condemning violence against either sect. The fatwa would deem it contrary to Islamic religious law to kill a Sunni if you are Shia and to kill a Ahia if you are a Sunni. Based on Mr. McFarland's testimony on the air, this fatwa would be the first of its kind in history! Both Prager and McFarland were dumbfounded that the story had not been picked up by mainstream media. McFarland indicated that he would attend further negotiations to nurture the process. It is expected that the ruling would be effective very soon.

While the Sunni-Shia war is having it's most catastrophic effect in the middle east and parts of Africa right now, isn't it coloring lives across the globe? It is impossible to tune into local or world news and not hear about its effects locally. We mourn fallen heroes from our hometowns almost everyday. All the cities in Europe that I have ever wanted to visit have major problems rising from within their Islamic populations. I have no Muslim acquaintances that I can name at the moment, but what is going on among Muslims gets closer and closer to home on a daily basis.

I don't care if main stream media picks up on it or not. Godspeed to McFarland and everyone involved. It's probably no panecea. The tension in Islam is systemically entrenched in history I suppose. But how much longer will it be before the movers and shakers in that movement see that the strategy to blow up innocent women and children is viewed as insanity by the rest of the world. How much longer will it be before the movers and shakers in the rest of the world act as if a problem that stems from religious beliefs needs a solution that stems from religious beliefs. I think religious threats may need to be dealt with militarily sometimes. I am not on the "defund-the-war" band wagon. But I am on the "end-the-threat" band wagon. Go McFarland Go, success here may save someone I know.

AZ Security Freeze Legislation Bites the Dust

I spent several minutes today organizing myself to opt-out of various databases and the credit bureaus. Fortunately, I came across the information I wanted to freeze my credit report. A security freeze will prevent a credit bureau from reporting your credit file to third parties. They can be lifted temporarily or permanently at the consumer's request. However, security freezes are based on state law. Until I saw an article published by Linda Valdez on the AZ Republic website, I was unable to confirm that Arizona had actually passed the state's security freeze law. It has been under consideration since 2005. Eventually, ARS 44-1698 was not passed due to interference mainly by retailers. To add, Arizona legislators proposed Arizonans pay 30% more for the service than the credit bureaus charge, $15 dollars for AZ residents vs $10 for all other states with the law! What for?

Arizona ranks #1, number one, primera for identity-theft and is aptly regarded as the identity-theft capital of the U.S. It is too easy jam up Arizona legislation intended to protect state residents.

An example of why it is important not to trust any third party with the task of opting out or filing any credit information for you!

The Iraq War: No One Needs To Tell You How You Feel About It

Is there a terrorist threat? And if there is a threat, do I think it affects me? Furthermore, if I have an opinion, should it drive war strategy in Iraq. My answer: yes, yes, no.

I watched the Presidential Address about Iraq tonight and afterward, I watched the “post-game show.” This was not this first time I tuned to the analysts, but this time, all the noisy cogitating really got under my skin. This time, I’d heard enough malarkey about opinion polls and what anybody thinks “the American people want.”

Every political activists claims to know what we want. This doesn't bother me normally, even though some of them think Americans are mindlessly controlled by the power of suggestion. I felt that way throughout the debate on illegal immigration. I have conservative political views, and I consider myself to be a discerning and concerned citizen. I do believe there is an imminent threat to U.S. citizens rising from religiously motivated violence. I do believe this will affect me and my family significantly if allowed to persist unchecked. How to check it? Well, I suppose that is why we built a military force and intelligence network like none other. What we need are brilliant strategies. What we don’t need are misguided theories about public opinion as though public opinion is the substance of strategy or policy. Opinion poll puppets trying to shovel in political agendas should be called to the table for their dullness.

We know what to do with our public opinions. We take them to the polls. We send them via telephone, post, and email to the halls of congress. We can even hit the streets and fuss all night.

My concern is not that Americans are mindlessly persuaded by public opinion polls. My concern is that more and more, Americans are bogged down with the happenings of life. Too busy with jobs and diapers and holidays and bills. We have real opinions that have a place in our government. My concern is that we are not taking a breath long enough to send the email or write the letter. Maybe our generals don’t post them on walls of the war room, but it’s time we deny wily statesmen the latitude to pass empty laws based on empty statistics and give them some real numbers to crunch.

Write your representatives. Tell them what you think about more troops in Iraq. It will make a difference somewhere in the future.
