Octomom Fraud Allegations Claim She's Scamming Welfare
March 20, 2013 08:59 AM by Lisa Princ
What do porn and welfare have in common? Why, Octomom, Nadya Suleman, of course! The famous mom of fourteen has been flip flopping from porn gigs to welfare these days, and now it looks as though it could cost her – not money though…more like jail time! That's right, it's Octo drama in full force as Suleman is now being accused of welfare fraud.
You've got to do what you've got to do for your kids, right? But at what price? Oh yeah, this is Octomom we are talking about – I almost forgot for a minute. Being such a class act, why wouldn't she scam the welfare system – tons of normal people do it all the time, right? Well, for Octomom, some new fraud allegations could cost her some valuable time with her brood.
According to TMZ, a complaint was filed against Octomom, accusing her of welfare fraud – shocker, we know. With 14 kids, one would expect her to be on welfare, so where is the problem? The problem is that in California, she can collect welfare, as long as she does not make more than $119,000.00 per year. With all of her stripping gigs and porn work, the complaint indicates that Octomom made well over that amount, which means she is committing welfare fraud – in layman's terms, scamming the system.
Sources told TMZ that the Welfare Fraud Prevention and Investigation is currently investigating the claims against Octomom. If they find that she did commit fraud, she could face up to three years in prison. Something tells us that Octo may be headed to prison in the near future.
What do you think of Octomom commiting welfare fraud? Should she go to prison? We know you have an opinion and we want to hear it so sound off in the comments section and tell us all about it.

Why is the American Tax Payer stuck with this womens inabilaty to function normal work, hold any job, do the right thing? In other words if she takes anything from Welfare (which she said she would not do) she should at the very least be required to do something! other than have some Half Wit Dr get her pregnant. She should be required to volenteer work SOMEWHERE! Her legs are not just painted on!

$119,000 and you can still collect welfare? No wonder California will go broke long before the big earthquake envelops the entire state. Jeez, no wonder people clamor to live there.

So you can make $118,000 per year and STILL be on welfare???
Mary Coleman Says:

I'm just stunned you can make almost $120K and still get welfare. I don't care how many kids you have.

"The problem is that in California, she can collect welfare, as long as she does not make more than $119,000.00 per year. "
That is a disgrace! $119,000 in north carolina is considered very well off!

She should just tell everyone she is an illegal and then she will get everything free even Social Security for all the kid's that would be about 30 grand a month, free rent lot's of food stamps and a pallet full of rubbers.

Why arrest her and put her in jail? Fine her and make her pay the money back to the State. If she spends time in jail the State will have to care for her children costing tax payers even more money.
Chris Says:

Just get a real job and keep it.

Why doesn't the state of California just take the 14 children away from her, and find new homes for these kids, and the lazy mom can be forced to find a real job?

I believe that if she is committing a crime yes she should pay for it. jsut because she has kids does not make it right. I have children as well and if I were to commit a crime I would be punished, why should she be above the law??

Please send her, the idiot 'sperm donor', and the sociopathic 'doctor' who caused this whole nightmare to jail. FOREVER. And put those poor kids in a home that's able to raise them properly.

Porn, to feed her kids. Welfare, to feed her kids.Jail for her to be fed, and the kids to be fed by the government , while she takes a break. Government looser mentality.

can't believe that someone can make that much money in california and still be eligible for welfare! i think that the people who approved that law should be going to jail along with suleman. no wonder california is bankrupt!
Dee Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 12:55 pm
As a taxpayer in that state, of COURSE she is committing fraud! She has a Master's degree, yet claims she "cannot work." She also claims she had the kids because she wants to be around them all the time – and yet the STATE is taking care of the kids while she goes on talk shows! Her parents got her a house to live in but kept the title out of her name so she can continue to STEAL from hardworking taxpayers like me. I can't afford to even have one child – yet I am FORCED to pay for her snot-nosed brats that she spews forth with the rapidity of a maggot breeding in manure. It's outrageous and I demand not only jail time for this scam artist but also that the state take any of her assets, and put lien on anything she may earn in the future so that she is forced to repay all that she has stolen… with interest!

Whats the big deal. Every day in this country the goverment throws it out to nonn american. ilegal imagrints and the like. Who by the way convert it into cassh for drugs and booze. porn jewelry gas for their hummers. All this is done on the hard working americns backs. This country needs welfare reform badly. stop sending my tax dollars overseas too.. America needs an overhaul. term limits, no adding bills to others being voted on. end pork barrel spending and invest in america.

Poor woman…. some commit murder and are glamourized. She is just doing the best she can, with her abilities. to feed her kids. Ask her to pay it back if she abused the system but please don't send her to prison. She deserves a break too. If she looked like Jodi Arias or Casey Anthony she would have so many Hollywood deals by now and be making millions.
David Housings Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 1:17 pm
While I'm not a fan of hers, folks, do the math. Even if she did get $200,000 last year, there are 15 …. count them, 15 …. people in that household, most of them children, and children are costly. Count groceries, rent, clothing, utilities, educational expenses, taxes, to name a few, and $200,000, as much as it is to us "normal earning" folk, does not end up being all that much. (Oh, yeah, before you yelp, I could use $200,000 gladly, but, then, I don't live in a household of 15.)

This was the woman who always spoke of food stamps as if it was the most shameful program on the planet. I'm sure after this, there will be some sort of publicity stunt where she will get the opportunity to cop out of what she meant during the original statement. Like she did with the porn deal and the F list celebrity appearances with Amy Fisher. I feel immensely sorry for her parents and her fourteen children. Instead of prison, Nadya should be locked down in a mental institution for a few months to attempt to pick up the shattered pieces of her frail psyche. Then put her in prison. Nadya is a wretched human being who cares for no one but her image in articles. I CANNOT believe she continues to get publicity.

i think that they should take these kids because you know they are not getting the money everytime you see a picture of them they look like their homeless or something she thought that this would make her famous make her pay it back and go to jail where i live i make a whole lot less than her and i cant get welfare but i survive geez

Shut up Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 3:44 pm
It depends on how many people you have living in your house, my mom didn't even make $1,800 last year and can barely get $200 in food stamps because there is only one minor (me) and my sick sister (who is 20 but can't work) and her (who now has a part time job) she also doesn't get any cash aid because she didn't qualify. Usually if you're able bodied welfare sends you to a work program, so you're getting money but you have to work for it. One of my mom's friends however, doesn't work, lies about working to collect income tax, has never worked a day in her life and some how gets food stamps and cash aid and section 8 (they pay your rent.) I don't understand it, people who need it can't get it and people who do shit like this and really don't need to make it impossible to get it.
Anne Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 4:05 pm
Can we assume that the cut off of $119,000 is specific to her because she has 14 children. If that's the limit for everyone, no wonder California is broke. Leave her be and as someone else says, take care of her after Lohan and others breaking the bank of local government with all their court appearances (and never ending "getting off the hook" for some reason).
nascarella1 Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
why put her in jail, if she was an illegal they would give her anything for free,but since she is legal that makes a difference.she is trying to raise her kids,leave her alone.
Arcticmoon71 Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 5:13 pm
Much of the money that Nadya earns goes to herself. Remember the hairdresser that charged Nadya $500.00 per haircut. I am sure that Nadya has had a ton of plastic surgery too. You don't go through a pregnancy carrying 8 babies and not have battle scars. She is clearly very self indulgent and I believe she would have to pay back the Government with interest.
ES Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 9:04 pm
She should have kept the fetuses then the GOP would have helped her as you know once the fetus is born it becomes a problem for taxpayers who hate birth control.
karen Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 9:20 pm
She was one who wanted 14 kids. if your going have 14 kids then pay for them YOURSELF !!She should have to pay all back . Also do jail time. California is a poor state . I'm glad she got caught.
Margaret Harris Says:
March 20th, 2013 at 11:34 pm
She should be sterlized and definitely shouldn't be collecting welfare. She should have thought about this before she had all those children. Most of us figure out how many children we can afford and just have 1 or 2 based on our income. What values is this teaching her children?
Joe Says:
March 21st, 2013 at 3:46 am

NEW DELHI: Online eyewear retailer Lenskart is in talks with India's largest e-commerce companies to sell its products on their platforms. If successful, this will mark the beginning of co-branding and revenue-sharing agreements amongst the country's fast-growing online retailer firms.
At present, large multi-product portals, including Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon, do not sell lenses, regarded as a specialised category. The agreement now being mooted will mean such products could be displayed on these portals with the tagline — 'Powered by Lenskart'. The revenue generated will be shared by both partners, with the host portal claiming the lion's share.

Tryouts for new semipro soccer team this weekend
After competing in high school and college, Pittston Area resident James Bell had few outlets to pursue his goal of playing soccer at a higher level.
He played with the Pocono Snow in East Stroudsburg for three years, but the long commute for practice and games was too much.
Taking what he learned from his experience at nearly every level of soccer, Bell is starting a local semiprofessional soccer team.
And he is looking for players to fill the roster.
The Electric City Shock will compete in the Keystone Conference of the National Premier Soccer League, the same league as the Pocono Snow.
Tryouts for the Shock will be Saturday and Sunday at Riverfront Sports on West Olive Street.
"This is something I wanted to do for a long time," Bell, 25, said. "This is the next level of soccer for this area."
The NPSL is the fourth and lowest tier of the United States soccer league system, in which Major League Soccer is at the top. In addition to the Pocono Snow, FC Sonic (Allentown), the Morris County Colonials (New Jersey), Jersey City Eagles, AC Crusaders, Junior Lone Star FC (Philadelphia) and Buxmont Torch (Ottsville) all compete in the Keystone Conference.
Bell, who will be the head coach of the team, said he is still searching for a venue the Shock can call home. Their season begins mid-May and runs through July, making it ideal for the college student home for the summer or high school students looking to step up their game.
The Shock won't compete as a full-fledged member of the NPSL until the team has completed a season, but this year's schedule still will feature competitors from the Keystone Conference.
"Most of these players in the area stop playing soccer and go to football or baseball because there's the NEPA Miners, the Electric City Chargers, there's the Moosic Mets," Bell said. "They're all pretty much the same level we're at.
"It will give them something to look up to. It's really just about branching out and helping them achieve something that myself and the people my age and even older didn't have when they were their age."
The Pittston Area graduate competed at Penn State Worthington Scranton and Keystone College. He participated in the Toronto FC open tryouts and trained with two United Soccer League teams - the Harrisburg City Islanders in 2007 and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in 2011.
Rob Havard, Coughlin boys soccer coach and Upper 90 South soccer academy director, will join Bell as an assistant coach, and Scranton Prep boys soccer coach Sean Curry, who heads the Upper 90 North program, will be involved as well.
"There's nothing like this within an hour, an hour and a half of this area," Curry said. "This is the way you get to your college team. This is how you improve your game outside of college."

Egas Port on Santiago Island and Rabida
Ecuador Travels from the Amazon to Galapagos
The black sand beach of Egas Port was amazing! We snorkeled along a rocky point with the sea lions and iguanas in the water, and then headed to shore to conquer the elements! Cacti were growing everywhere, even when it appeared there was nothing for them to attach roots to! I enjoyed this Island very much, and was especially impressed with the high volume of sea iguanas sunning themselves everywhere - EVERYWHERE! I was staying on the designated walking area and still almost stepped on one or two! Move it already.
But the time passed all too quickly and we were headed back to the boat for lunch and a quick nap.
Later I was able to participate in a deep-water snorkel and saw sting rays, a white-tipped reef shark, and lots of tropical fish - water heaven.
Once back to the zodiac, the group was off to interrupt the quiet time of a Blue-Footed Boobies colony relaxing with brown pelicans on a rocky ledge. Like the other animals, they were not even slightly perturbed with us and allowed the cameras to click away! It was as if they knew they were the main star of the show.
The ship had its Neptune Party on board tonight in celebration for those of us who were crossing the Equator by sea for the first time. And ice cream was served - and devoured - by all. Good times.

Update on Alberta's Digital Media People to watch in 2009
Last year Techvibes expanded its "Digital Media People" series by adding Alberta to BC and published a Digital Media People to watch in Alberta in 2009 list. We kept it tight and limited the list to five, but they didn't disappoint. Here's an update on their progress and successes in 2009.
Derek Ball – Tynt Multimedia – Ball's Tynt put their original product, a graffiti annotation and markup tool, on the back burner and launched Tracer in February. The following month they closed a $5 Million Series A investment round that included existing angel investors, iNovia Capital and Alberta's AVAC Ltd.
When invited out to Vancouver to represent Alberta at Launch Party 7 in June, Tynt jumped on the invite and proceeded to win both the Judge's and People's Awards. Turns out LPV7 was just a warm-up though - in the Fall, Tynt was named the Best Presenting Company in the Information Technology stream at the Banff Venture Forum.
2009 wasn't just a huge year for recognition and investor interest, it was also significant from a product development perpective. In October, Tracer was renamed Tynt Insight. Look for Tynt to make headlines again in 2010 but this time think about adding some zeroes.
Stephen King – Mob4Hire – King got Mob4Hire rolling in 2009 with a second place showing at the MobileMonday Peer Awards in Barcelona in January. In the Spring, a partnership announcement with Vancouver's Wavefront wireless commerciation centre no doubt helped Mob4Hire double the number of "mobsters" in their testing community to over 20,000 by September.
The Fall saw King headed West to Banff for the Venture Forum but only one IT stream presenter could take home the prize and their Calgary neighbour Tynt Multimedia took the top spot. After attending the annual PACT event at the Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale in October, King was ready to roll into Bob Chaworth-Musters' 26th Angel Forum in Vancouver and grabbed two Angel-voted awards - Best Presentation & Best Company with Revenue.
While Mob4Hire may have spent some time in Tynt's shadow in 2009, look for them to find the spotlight in 2010 and get some Angels to turn those votes into cheques.
Jon Lam – Ph03nix New Media – Lam ended 2008 looking for $1-2 Million to go to market with his new online game TRZZonline.com and by February had $1.1 Million from Alberta's AVAC Ltd.
By September Lam was teasing Techvibes contributors with "Project i" and in October Ph03nix New Media announced the launch of the first Canadian-based iPhone Fund. The $2 Million iPhoenix Fund will be used to develop 133 Apple iPhone and iPod Touch games over the next 5 years.
2010 will be a defining year for Lam, Ph03nix New Media and their iPhone Fund.
Patrick Lor – Fotolia – This time last year we predicted that Lor would put on his Angel hat in 2009 and/or find his next great entrepreneurial idea. Turns our we were wrong on both fronts as Lor joined iStockphoto competitor Fotolia in May. You may remember that Lor was a key figure in one of the biggest dot.com exits in Alberta history when iStockphoto was sold to Getty Images for US $50 Million.
it didn't take long for Lor to get busy with his new employer. Shortly after joining Fotolia, Lor helped launch PhotoXpress, a free, premier-quality image bank, which offers user royalty free image licenses for personal or professional use. The next month Fotolia was on a hiring frenzy in Calgary.
MJ Sikorsky – Robots and Pencils Inc. – Sikorsky spent 2008 fighting off reports that Calgary's Cambrian House was not in the dreaded Deadpool. Turns out Sikorsky was right and Cambrian House is still kicking but MJ is no longer with the crowdsourcing startup.
In May Sikorsky and wife Camille launched consulting shingle Robots and Pencils which promises to "rent our brains, teach courses and angel invest". The teaching has come in the form of iPhone Dev School in Calgary and iPhone Dev Camp in Edmonton and the company is developing their own apps as well - CrushFactor launched in May.
Sikorsky has been an active Angel of late including a board seat at Job Lam's Ph03nix New Media. Sikorsky and Lam are the brains behind Canada's first iPhone Fund. The $2 Million iPhoenix Fund will be used to develop 133 Apple iPhone and iPod Touch games over the next 5 years.
Look out for Sarah Blue's Digital Media People to Watch in Alberta in 2010 list on Monday, January 4th. Blue is digging deeper into both the Calgary and Edmonton tech communities and will no doubt uncover the next round of shining tech stars.

15 Ways to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
Drum up some willpower
Under the spell of that peppermint bark you co-worker brought to the office? Before you succumb, try this simple trick: Place the thumb and fingers of one hand on your forehand, a half inch apart.

Personally, I think GC has made good moves in his year as Head Coach. I like:
-he did not throw seniors under the bus last year. Others would have gone with an underclassman QB all the way, but he did the right thing as a new coach
-he has build discipline. Probably overdone this, but he's making a point and it seems to be working
-no panic in recruiting. When many on this board and others were in a sheer panic with decommits, GC had a plan and stuck with it, and it produced a good class
-he doesn't make excuses. GC is a stand-up guy, takes the blame and moves on
-his coaching decisions improved throughout the season. He's a freshman coach, now a second year and is a fast learner on the job.
Overall, I believe he has make the right moves, but I'd be interested in others take on this. (except for the hawk muraders who are on the site)
Pay kids to come to iowa state. LOL.
There's not much I would change. I think he's done a nice job so far on and off the field. I think coaching in such windy conditions was something new for him and something he struggled with at first but that goes along with being a rookie head coach.
Excited about what the future holds because he has me believing it can happen in Ames.
Demand people call me The Chiznik!!!!
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
Eh, Gene's done all the right things so far, at least for those of us outside of the program to see. The positives are, it seems like Gene's a quality human being and football coach. The potential negative is that it's only been a year so we don't really have any idea what kind of decision-maker he is as head coach. I have a feeling he's a good one, though.

I'd probably wear the Iowa State uniform on the sidelines because I'd be jealous of MLB managers and coaches.
I do know I would continue beating Iowa every year.
If I were Chizik I would register on CF and after losses in the fall come on here and tell people to chill the **** out.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

lol......thats funny
I'm not smart enough to comment on what I'd do better then that guy.
Wear a little nicer clothes on the sideline. Other than that he can do what he wants, the results have been good so far.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
I'd have less of a drawl.

Shooting leads deputies to Valley Center marijuana grow
VALLEY CENTER - A gunshot fired at suspected trespassers led sheriff's deputies to the 45-year-old alleged gunman and an indoor marijuana grow and hash oil extraction lab at his Valley Center residence, a sheriff's sergeant said.
Michael Steven Thyberg was arrested shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, making criminal threats, being a felon in possession of a firearm and marijuana violations, according to sheriff's officials and jail records. He remained behind bars today.
Sheriff's officials said Thyberg was suspected of shooting at and threatening two pedestrians he accused of jumping the fence onto his property in the 27300 block of Kiavo Drive near Paradise Mountain Road. The victims told deputies they heard the gunshot and saw dust and debris flying from the roadway nearby as they tried to continue their "nature walk."
Thyberg then allegedly followed the pair of pedestrians in his vehicle and made additional threats before turning around and heading back to the residence, sheriff's Sgt. Frank Gallardo said.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the pedestrians' report in a helicopter and demanded Thyberg exit the home, which he did, Gallardo said. He was detained and handcuffed as deputies conducted a "protective sweep" of the property, he said.
The indoor marijuana grow was found during the initial search, and Thyberg was arrested after being identified by the two victims, Gallardo said.
A subsequent search of the residence turned up 289 marijuana plants, 40 pounds of processed marijuana, a small hash oil extraction lab, around five grams of hash wax, a shotgun and ammunition, Gallardo said.

Former Attorney General John Ashcroft said on Friday that trials for the Sept. 11, 2001, plotters could endanger the public and give anti-U.S. elements a public stage to voice their rhetoric, according to the Associated Press.
"If your top priority is the liberty and life of American citizens and the security of their lives and liberty, then this decision is less than optimal," he told reporters at a Kansas fundraiser for Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt's campaign for U.S. Senate. "I believe we are still in a very significant war on terror. The administration doesn't appear to believe that we are in a war on terror."
Last Wednesday, Ashcroft said that Holder technically lacks the legal standing to move alleged Sept. 11 plotter Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other detainees to federal courts in New York City to stand trial.
"The attorney general doesn't have the authority to mandate that the secretary of Defense turn somebody over to him and yield jurisdiction so that something that would have been done in a military setting is done in a civilian setting," Ashcroft told the Chris Stigall show on KCMO radio, according to the Hill.
Notwithstanding Ashcroft's views, the trials will be held in New York City; Holder made his decision in consultation with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, according to the Justice Department
Ashcroft, who was Attorney General from 2001-2005, joins former Attorneys General Ed Meese and Michael B. Mukasey in criticizing Holder's decision to give the Sept. 11 plotters civilian trials.

Now, out to save their childhood home, only The Three Stooges could become embroiled with an oddball murder plot while stumbling into starring roles in a phenomenally successful TV reality show.
To win this disc, e-mail me with Three Stooges Contest in the subject line and include your mailing address. This contest is open through tonight, Tuesday at 11:59 P.M. PST.

GOA report on US supporting policy to alternative jet fuels and deployement challenges
The US Governmnet Accountability Office (GAO) was requested to provide information on the progress and challenges to developing and using alternative jet fuels in the United States. The report they published on May 7th examines (1) the role of the federal government in the development and use of alternative jet fuels and (2) key challenges to developing and using alternative jet fuels and actions that the federal government plans to or could take to help address those challenges.
The federal government supports the development and use of alternative jet fuels through a wide scope of initiatives. This includes strategies to promote the development and use of a variety of alternative fuels at national level, as well as direct support through targeted goals initiatives and coordination efforts covering R&D, approval of fuels or support for construction of production facilities.
GAO interviewed 23 stakeholders about the major challenges for the deployment f alternative jet fuels. Achieving price competitiveness for alternative jet fuels is the overarching challenge to developing a viable market. The 23 stakeholders that GAO interviewed most frequently cited high development costs and the uncertainty of federal regulations and policies as primary reasons why alternative jet fuels are not priced competitively and believe that federal activities are needed to help advance the alternative jet-fuels industry.

Minefield to mission field
International | Ten years after Germany reunited, its eastern wing is ripe for more miracles
in Leipzig-Christians in former East Germany were sure they witnessed a miracle when their country was reunified peacefully with the democratic west 10 years ago, on Oct. 3, 1990. "God intervened in history," stated Lutheran bishop Werner Leich, who was then the head of the Evangelical Church Federation in the Communist German Democratic Republic (GDR). "We were stunned," remembered Harald Krille, once a Protestant activist in the east, now the photo editor of Idea, an evangelical publishing house. "We Christians believed that the division of our country was an expression of God's wrath over the crimes committed by Germans during World War II. We could not imagine that this might suddenly end." Indeed, how could we believe that, short of a wonder, the Iron Curtain would disappear almost overnight, along with its minefields and death strips? How could we conceive of East Germany's military, the second largest in the Soviet bloc, being dissolved without any loss of blood? That a 500,000-strong Russian occupation force would calmly withdraw to its homeland, allowing the German territory it had occupied for half a century to become part of NATO? Nobody dared to hope that the east's crumbling railroads could be so swiftly supplanted by a state-of-the-art network of tracks allowing gleaming trains to zip along at 140 mph. Nobody envisaged the almost instant renewal of the telephone system. It had not been updated since 1928; getting new service meant a15-year wait. Now it ranks among the most advanced in the world. When the Berlin Wall fell, millions of deep potholes dotted East Germany's roads; they disappeared within months. The eastern cities were crumbling woefully; now many of them sparkle more brightly than their western sisters, especially Leipzig, cradle of the peaceful revolution that toppled the GDR's communist regime. The industrial region around Leipzig was considered the most polluted in central Europe. Lung disease was rampant among the young. Today a huge resort area flecked with artificial lakes and parks is being developed here. Farther north, near the Baltic coast, a potentially worse industrial disaster loomed. West German experts found a Chernobyl-type nuclear reactor in such dire state that a meltdown threatening all of northern Europe seemed imminent. The reactor was shut down. "It is obvious that we received a gift from God," said Johannes Holmer, a Lutheran pastor in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg. But he added, "Let us just hope that God will become the center of our people's lives once again." There is little to indicate that this is about to happen. Pastors quip that turning people away from God was the communists' sole and evidently lasting success. Opinion polls show that 31 percent of former East Germans still believe in God, compared with 73 percent of their western compatriots. Church membership has slid from 83 percent in 1950, to 34 percent at the time of reunification, to 25 percent today. In former West Germany, on the other hand, eight out of 10 still adhere (often nominally) to Christian denominations. The former East Germany was Lutheran heartland; these days in some of its towns no more than 5 percent of the inhabitants are Christians. Even Leipzig, once a center of Lutheran orthodoxy and theological brilliance, has turned into a spiritual desert. In this city Johann Sebastian Bach, often called the "fifth evangelist," worked for 27 years. But almost none of the people attending the motet and cantata services in this Gothic church on Fridays and Saturdays can say the Lord's Prayer. "They are catechetical illiterates, and some of the younger ones even think that the crucifix above the altar represents a gymnast," reported Johannes Richter, Leipzig's Lutheran superintendent. Almost nine out of 10 Leipzigers are thought to be agnostics or atheists. It's not that they are still communists. But 10 years after reunification, many of them have not fully adjusted to democracy. What persists is a phenomenon called Ostalgie, a kind of nostalgia for the totalitarian coziness of the GDR. Its industry may have been rotten, dirty, and inefficient, but East Germans pondering their current rate of unemployment-almost 20 percent-recall that everybody had a job in the old days. There was less crime, too, and life, though boring, unfree, and devoid of choices or competition, was blissfully laid-back. Ostalgie notwithstanding, 95 percent of eastern Germans do not wish to return to "GDR conditions." What has survived from the old days are the symptoms of communist godlessness. Abortion rates in the east are three times as high as in the west. While 100,000 teenagers follow an atheistic rite of passage called Jugendweihe, only 40,000 follow the tradition of Lutheran confirmation. Although the churches were instrumental in bringing down the communist regime, 53 percent of all eastern Germans have no confidence in them whatsoever, according to a recent poll. They rank 11th among institutions trusted by the east's 16 million people. Most would rather put their faith in the police, the food industry, the banks, aviation, the military, television, the press, the railroads, the judicial system, and the unions-in that order. Only the federal government in Berlin and the political parties are viewed with more suspicion than religious organizations. This development goes back beyond the communist era. It is often forgotten that Hitler's regime was also atheistic, but it only lasted 12 years. When it collapsed in 1945, churches became once again an important force in West German society. In the east, however, Christians faced persecution. They were not usually allowed to obtain high-school certificates, a precondition for attending university. They were barred from senior positions in the administration, the military, industry, and academia. Remaining faithful required sacrifice, and those who did not flee to the west turned their backs on the church, "often with a guilty conscience," according to Protestant bishop Axel Noack of Magdeburg. "These were the grandparents and parents of today's overwhelming majority of young unchurched eastern Germans." Ironically, the creators of the Berlin Wall sowed the seeds of its demise. Communist Party leader Walter Ulbricht, who established the wall, gave orders to blow up Leipzig's graceful, late-Gothic university church on May 30, 1968. That act triggered a protest movement that snowballed. Peace marches spread through the country, and by the mid-1970s, a full-fledged Christian revival involving hundreds of thousands of East Germans was underway. They sang American-style gospel songs, in addition to the traditional Lutheran chorales. They prayed for Israel, in contrast to their government's policies. Resistance to communist policies went far beyond Christian circles, but the church provided the entire opposition movement with a roof and a methodology. Martin Luther's doctrine of "grabbing the tyrannical rulers in the snout but not interfering with their craft" proved victorious. On Oct. 9, 1989, Leipzig pastors preached using the text from Proverbs 25:15: "Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone." It turned out to be the most important series of prayer services in the history of the German resistance. The congregations joined 70,000 other demonstrators and softly felled a 40-year tyranny. They knew that soldiers had guns trained on them. They knew that thousands of body bags were waiting to carry them away. They knew that makeshift concentration camps had been set up for their leaders, especially the pastors. They also knew that the slightest act of violence on their part could provoke a massacre. So when agents provocateurs among them tried to attack the headquarters of Stasi, the local secret police, to give the military an excuse to intervene, the protesters instead sang hymns and carried burning candles. Christians placed themselves protectively between the agitators and the Stasi structure called Runde Ecke (Round Corner). With this deed of nonviolence they averted a bloody incident; what followed was, for all intents and purposes, the end of the GDR. This was a happy end of sorts for Germany and the world but not for the church. It went into a tailspin, defying the hopes of leaders that "people would return to us just like after World War II," according to Mr. Leich, the Lutheran bishop. Ten years after reunification, pastors and politicians alike are just beginning to realize the extent of the social disaster 56 years of Nazi and communist atheism have wrought upon eastern Germany. It drove away the elite. It created a monstrous youthful subculture brought up without religious and family values in soulless, gray, socialist housing estates. (Three times as many acts of right-wing violence against foreigners and minorities are committed in Germany's eastern states than in the west. Parts of the east have become hotbeds of Satanism, too.) But for East German church leaders, the reunification story does not have to end on an unhappy note. "I am curious to see where God is leading us now. It won't be to where we have been in the so-called good old days," said Leipzig pastor Johannes Richter. "But He is leading us somewhere exciting, of that I'm sure. For Christians it's going to be a fascinating new adventure." Mr. Richter and others report that although few new members are joining their churches, those who have remained faithful are becoming increasingly active in their communities. The church, though small, shows distinct new signs of life.
