Honoring Our Seniors2,568 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Honoring Our Seniors
Bhakti Vikasa Swami: Recently, devotees around the world had occasion to recall the outstanding devotional qualities and contributions of Yamuna Mataji, after her departure.
But would it not have been more appropriate and pleasing to all if she had been lauded in her presence, before her departure?
Most of the early pioneers of ISKCON are now largely forgotten by the Vaisnava community. Because of their endeavors we today are able to happily practice Krsna consciousness. Must we wait until they pass away before we remember them?
Apart from the original pioneers, there are many others, now in old age, whose sacrifices in their youth for the sankirtan movement have gone largely unnoticed. Possibly a section of Dandavats could be set up for honoring these "old soldiers," or a new website started for this purpose.
Apart from that, some of our seniors are in need of tangible help. I was recently told that one of the original team of devotees sent by Srila Prabhupada to London, is now practically poverty stricken. With all the resources nowadays available to our movement, we should be able to do something (such as providing retirement facilities in Mayapur or Vrindavan) for those who gave their lives to Srila Prabhupada at a time when the movement had almost nothing in the way of resources.

Forgive me, I seem to be commenting on a number of letters here in Dandavats at this time. Rather than a "retirement home" or the like, I think we should rather personally reach out to those older devotees who are near temples, and try to re-engage them in devotional service. Get them (us) back into the fire of hearing and chanting, and other services. What is always needed are affectionate dealings between devotees. What comes around, goes around. If you give compassion, the time will come when you need compassion, and it is more likely that you will receive it.
Srila Prabhupad always described that we have a transcendental bank account for our devotion. What we place in Krishna, will always remain there. If someone might leave devotional service, then they will take it up again where they left off. Certainly, this is the case from birth to birth, until Krishna mercifully guides us through vaishnava seva to His divine Home.
Just think of all the energy that you need to put into cultivating a dedicated servant of Krishna. How can we let such servants who fall away be forgotten so easily, when it may only take a small degree of affectionate and genuine concern to re-stimulate and re-ignite the fire of Krishna consciousness in such an individual. After all, Krishna describes how rare a Krishna bhakta is in the Bhagavad gita:
manusanam sahasresu…kascin mam vetti tattvatah.
The Christains have the idea that the shepherd will leave his entire flock to find one sheep that has wandered off from the flock. Can we not see the obvious connection?
Retirement homes may not be needed, but rather re-engagement in devotional service.
Sincerely, Pusta Krishna das

I have met or interviewed quite a few people who now have buildings or other construction projects named for them. I look forward to the day I can remark to my young sons that I knew the people behind the plaques, such as at the Romano Mazzoli Federal Building (and did you know that the elevator on the Belvedere is also named after the former Congressman?), or the Muhammad Ali Center or the newly christened McConnell-Chao archives at U of L, just to name a few.
And, I am looking forward to seeing the sign that reads "Robley Rex Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center," both at the Zorn location and the new hospital when it is built.
I first met Mr. Rex in 1996, while covering the VFW National Convention in Louisville. I was there to cover speeches by Presidential candidate Sen. Bob Dole and Vice-President Al Gore. The World War One-era veteran was entertaining to talk to, and at the age of 95, sort of a relic, an opportunity to interact with history. But, as I later learned when interviewing him in 2003, Rex was no museum piece. He had a sense of duty that never died, a sense of duty that is being honored in the VA Hospital naming because over the decades, Rex logged more than 14,000 hours volunteering to help his fellow veterans. In 2003, at the age of 102, he was still spending about 15 hours per week at the VA Hospital, informing veterans of their rights, helping fill out tax forms and shuttling x-rays and other medical paperwork to different departments.
I tried to keep in touch with this legend. I knew I could count on seeing him at the big Veterans Day and Memorial Day events. He always made an appearance with the Freedom Ride motorcyclists, who gave Rex his own leather jacket as they made their way through Louisville on the way to "The Wall."
When I interviewed him a second time in 2005, the104 year old was taking his first commercial flight to be honored at another VFW national convention. This time, I pronounced his first name correctly, ROBB-lee, not ROBE-lee, as most media up until that time had said. He was so hard of hearing, Mr. Rex had never noticed.
Robley died in April of this year, a few days short of his 108th birthday, leaving only one other World War One - era veteran alive. On the way to WHAS11 on Memorial Day, I stopped at Zachary Taylor National Cemetary, where Rex's cremated remains were buried alongside his beloved bride, Grace. The chiseled name on that grave marker would probably mean just as much to Robley as his name on the hospital. I will always remember him, and as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in announcing Senate approval of the VA naming, "It is only appropriate that his name forever mark the entrance of the VA Medical Center." Indeed.
Here is the news release from McConnell's office:

This is crucial to note, because once the phrase "QQ" is bandied about it carries a strong negative judgement that has to be responded to.
Horde participated in imbalanced AV preTBC because they still received honor gains for time spent. The difference in this situation (and yes, I spent 6 months in BG9 where the Scorched Earth tactic is the rule) is that Alliance saw 0-60 honor for time spent in AV.
With so little honor to be had, we did the math and made the sensible choice: queue for BGs where we get some honor for our effort.
All during the many months where the "we don't agro on horde bug" plagued Van and his WMs I continued to queue for AV losses because I still saw honor for my time spent.
This isn't about a boycott or senseless QQ--this is about how you want to spend your time.

Ernest Dempsey — Banned from entering the west as well as internally from addressing in some states in India on account of advocating fundamentalist, oppressive version of Islam, well-known Muslim orator Dr. Zakir Naik has changed his position on the punishment for apostasy in Islam. In his recent Q and A with Oxford students, conducted via satellite transmission, he claimed that Islam does not suggest death for a Muslim who leaves his faith and adopts another, unless for some other unforgivable wrong committed after conversion.
In a YouTube video of the question-answer session, an American doctoral student is shown posing before Naik the question (starting at 8:50 in the video) why a Muslim who leaves his/her faith and starts following a different faith is liable to be killed as dictated in Islamic law. The student mentions that he has a Muslim girlfriend in Turkey who has left Islam and accepted Christianity as the true faith, but is now worried for her safety, even life, due to her decision to say goodbye to Islam. Answering the student, Naik says he has been misrepresented with regard to his position on the matter and video clips shown of him on YouTube have been posted "out of context".
Naik then says that earlier he had said that many Islamic scholars are of the opinion that former Muslims are punishable by death, but he did not approve it and instead has taught that death is not the "standard punishment" in Islam for ex-Muslims. He then gives the example of a person who was given death punishment by the prophet but upon the recommendation of his close associate Usman, the prophet forgave that man. Naik goes on to say that according to Islam and according to him (Naik), people leaving Islam are not punishable by death only for walking out of Islam.
This new position of Naik is radically different from his earlier video in which he was interviewed by Pakistani anchor Shahid Masood for a TV channel and was presented with the question why Islam punishes with death penalty those who quit it and adopt another faith. Answering the question, Naik at once claims that if a former Muslim starts propagating his new religion, then this act of his is "as good as treason" and is punishable by death just as treason is punishable by death in military in many countries. Naik never mentions any other scholars here nor does he quote any sources, speaking instead completely on his own and justifying death by trying to rationalize.
Most Muslim scholars do think and preach what Naik used to before the mind-shaking ban last year by UK—that Muslims rejecting Islam and adopting another religion are punishable by death. In a video of a debate between people of various faiths, including the world-famous scientist and atheist author Richard Dawkins kept asking a Muslim scholar about the punishment of an apostate in Islam. After trying to change topics, the hesitant scholar eventually gave his answer, i.e. death for the apostate in Islam.
Islam's position on apostasy continues to face staunch criticism and usually the Muslim apologists try to avoid the question, though even the layman in Muslim countries is aware that Islam orders you to kill the one who leaves Islam and accepts another faith. Naik's change of mind (or change of tongue and tone, to be more precise) is to be welcomed, and thanks are due to Britain, Canada, India, and all others whose ban has finally taught the orator to speak some sense. Whether other Muslim scholars agree with Naik or not is to be seen yet. For now, the big question is how to explain the clear Islamic orders in Hadith books encouraging killing of apostates.

Living with your soon-to-be ex-husband may be complicated but it seems that Dina Manzo has no problem doing it. As reported by Rumor Fix on Monday, Jan. 20, Dina isn't selling the home that she shares with Tommy Manzo and moving out.
According to a source, Dina has no plans to move out of the house, even after her divorce is finalized, and isn't doing anything to move out.
Another rumor that the source debunked is that Dina is desperate for money and that's why she's returning to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." While the source didn't deny that she's doing the show for the money, he/she pointed out that all of the housewives do it for the money.
"What do any of them do it for? It's a job. It's such a silly statement when you think about it. Don't we all go to work for a paycheck?" the source said.
Dina's social media posts has provided speculation that she's moving out.
At the end of November, she posted a photo of a view from a Manhattan apartment. This was followed a month later with a photo of a nice bed in a bedroom.
"First personal touches to the new apt..." she captioned the photo.
Are you looking forward to seeing "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" with Dina Manzo?

we'd just like to let everyone who's been waiting a few weeks for their copy of issue 7 that all orders have been posted as of today (Monday 2nd) so you should have it in the next few days, depending on how far away you are.
Apologies for the delay! This was due, ironically, to a malfunctioning machine (at the printers) plus ensuing backlog. We hope issue 7 is worth the wait.
All the best,

A couple of times at the end of years past, I'd round up a few people and film them telling me what their Top 5 Anythings from the previous year were. It was fun to do, but I didn't think anyone else actually cared, so I stopped doing it.
Around June last year, I had a few people ask where the Top 5 of 2011 were and got a little disappointed when I told them I hadn't done it. I got yelled at a few times, so I'm bringing it back.
If you want in, let me know. I want to get a good mix of people, since the previous years have been all dudes.
Check out the videos, and if you want in, let's party.

State Rep. Harvey Hilderbran, signaling the start of a fierce battle to succeed retiring GOP Comptroller Susan Combs, has aired his campaign's first TV ad.
In the 30-second spot, Hilderbran, R-Kerrville, says that he'll reinvigorate the "performance reviews" begun by former Comptroller Bob Bullock in the early 1990s. Several years later, Bullock's Democratic successor, John Sharp, made them famous.
"The private sector monitors costs every day. It's high time state government did the same," Hilderbran says to camera in the ad.
As we reported here last month, Hilderbran has pledged to make a big deal of the performance reviews.
His ad (below) began airing on cable television on Monday.
"We are at or near maximum frequency with a six figure, one week cable buy on San Antonio and six West Texas markets currently, with expanded media buys ahead," said Hilderbran consultant Matt Mackowiak. Mackowiak said the response so far has been "very encouraging."
A casual viewer might think the state no longer does performance reviews, which take a look at current programs and spending. That isn't true. While Hilderbran says in the ad that he'll "re-establish" the reviews, they actually have been going on uninterrupted for about two decades.
There have been two changes, though. First, the reviews haven't received the heavy publicity that Sharp stirred up. Also, they're done today by a different agency than the comptroller's office — the Legislative Budget Board.
In 2003, the GOP-controlled Legislature stripped the function from the comptroller's office, then run by Republican Carole Keeton Strayhorn. She had irritated state GOP leaders in numerous ways. Lawmakers asked their budget staff to take over the reviews.
In the March 4 GOP primary, Hilderbran, who heads the House's tax-writing panel, faces state Sen. Glenn Hegar of Katy, who chairs the Senate Nominations Committee; former gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina, a Wharton businesswoman; and former state Rep. Raul Torres, a Corpus Christi accountant.
The Democrat in the race, Mike Collier, quickly issued a statement trying to tag Hilderbran with helping weaken performance reviews.
The Hilderbran ad "omits a key detail: It was a Democratic program that the Republican Legislature killed," said Collier, a Houston businessman and accountant.
Collier also has vowed to "bring back" performance reviews. In a swipe at the two best-funded Republicans in the race, Hilderbran and Hegar, the Democrat added, "Hiring a legislator to be our comptroller makes as much sense as giving a teenager a credit card and letting him set his own curfew."
Hegar, meanwhile, has been emphasizing endorsements by conservative activists. On Thursday, he announced that 31, or half, of the members of the State Republican Executive Committee have urged his election as comptroller.

I have a passion for community development and social change with 22 years experience in public service across Whangarei, Kaipara, Kaikohe and Kaitaia. I'm committed to a better future, together!
I've been actively involved in Iwi treaty negotiations, local government reform and developing central government partnerships with real outcomes for our people including: Te Hiku Social Accord; Iwi Leaders Forum; Better Local Government Working Group; and economic and growth forums with Ministry of Primary Industries and Energy.
I believe in empowering communities and about individuals and entities taking control and responsibility for their actions and future. Te Hiku is a developing economy and post treaty settlements we need to create opportunities for engagement and investment in our future, and that includes our youth and environment.
I'm hard working and have the relationships, skills and experience to provide positive leadership and governance for Te Hiku community and the Far North district.
Top 5 Issues
- . Why am I the right person for the job?
Anyone who enters into council does so for a purpose. My purpose like others is to make a difference for those communities that the council is supposed to represent. Sometimes council bureaucracies are better off replaced with an application of everyday common sense. Councils also need to reflect the best interests of and be inclusive of, its community groupings and members. I have a passion for community development and community participation, within local government.
- . Where do I stand on Mining?
Mining is only one potential solution for economic salvation but not the end all and be all. First you have to find whatever it is your looking for and then it has to be economically profitable to extract it. That then must be weighed seriously against the environmental and social impacts and any decisions to do, or not to do, determined at that point. It's obvious some mining is unacceptable and other forms of mining if managed and monitored properly are acceptable. I just don't see it as being the only form of economic opportunity in the Far North when we have other key primary industry assets already established, we should be developing those opportunities and others, further.
- . Does council debt need to be reduced, and if so, how will I do that?
Any debt is about needing to reduce it, no one person alone can do that. However it's clear that the Far North needs to stimulate itself with an economic growth strategy that allows more investment and employment opportunities to take place whereby whole communities are able to contribute to participating in the Far North economy and that's what progresses the Far North forward and reduces debt as opposed to what's happening now which is only occurring in some communities and that's highly evident in the services and opportunities that some towns get as opposed to others. And of course, you get council to live within its spending means which is affordable to ratepayers.
- . Do I favour two unitary Authorities, or the status quo?
There won't be a status quo because that not progress, which is what the call for Better Local Government change is all about otherwise why have it. It's only obvious that the Far North District continues takes the responsibility of managing itself as it always has done. Evidence shows that bigger is not always best and given the uniqueness and diversity of Far North rural communities their dynamics and geographic's. It's inconceivable the belief that we in the Far North can be managed or serviced better from a bigger urban focussed council based in Whangarei. One only has to question what services a regional council provides to the Far North currently (including infrastructure) that's regarded as effective, and or isn't what the current Far North council is providing.
- . What would you like to achieve in the next three years?
To effect change within council and communities, pursue a Far North economic / social growth strategy that's aligned to an environmental management strategy as well. To contribute to making the Far North and affordable well service area for its ratepayers to live in.

With all of the recent salmonella scares, parents are bound to raise an eyebrow when a child says his tummy hurts. So, when should parents be concerned? Dr. Leslie Motheral, a pediatrician at the Health Sciences Center, answered that question Tuesday on HealthWise at Five.
Dr. Motheral says, "If you have stomach pains, or diarrhea, or vomiting, we encourage parents to look for signs of good hydration. That means drinking well, good urine output, making tears... Good signs of hydration and once they no longer see those good signs of hydration, it's very important to see your physician. There are certain tests we can give to rule in or rule out certain infections."
Dr. Motheral says that a tummy ache is not the flu, but we are starting to see flu cases in the Lubbock area. She also says that to avoid serious complications from the flu, kids really need a flu shot. Last year's flu season dragged on into May so, she says, there is still time to get that shot. Call your doctor about it or check at the Health Department.

(WMC-TV) - The Shelby County Sheriff's Office implemented the 'Inclement weather' policy Monday afternoon.
The 'Inclement weather' policy means that anyone involved in a car accident should explain license and insurance information and report it police later.
Interstate 385 eastbound was shut down for a few hours at the Forest Hill Irene Road overpass due to several accidents that required vehicles to be towed. That section of the interstate has since been reopened.

None of these companies would pass the suitability for a "widows and orphans" investors strategy, and it's even possible that some of them could flop.
First it's "the widows and orphans fund" A fund "Supposedly" collected, by law-enforcement, for the families of officers who's lives were lost in the line of duty.You just messed that up, all to pieces..
Then to say that some of them (companies) could flop.. So in other words some, "not saying which ones" which mean that they all could flop, which means YOU DON'T KNOW...
SOoooooooo, WHY WRITE THE ARTICLE..and the irony is.... YOU GOT PAID TO WRITE THIS

Driving Range Price List 2014
From 21st March we are running a new driving range system. The machine will be run on a swipe card service. To reward our frequent members, we are offering a discounted rate for the more credits that you buy.
When topping up initially, you will receive a Colchester Golf Club Card with the club logo on it. Similar to your food and bar card. To use this system, you simply top up your card in the Professional Shop, and it gives you credits for the machine.
We will still be keeping a small amount of single tokens, mostly for infrequent members usage and guests, along with societies.
Pricing – 50 Balls
Single Token £2.50 (25 balls)
10 Credits – £20.00
20 Credits – £35.00
30 Credits – £45.00
40 Credits – £55.00
50 Credits – £60.00
These prices are extremely competitive compared to other clubs. Play Golf Colchester (Lexden Wood Golf Club) offer 50 balls for £3.50. So by taking up our 50 credit offer, you save a huge £115.00.

There will be a flat rate of £1.00 per Credit for the juniors on the initial purchase of the card up to 50 tokens. Then are charged as normal.
Please note that if your card is lost, it is impossible to track how many credits were left on the card. So we can not offer a refund, or a free top up.
Lets treat this range like it should be treated. Picking up balls without getting them out of the ball dispenser will not be tolerated, and you will be charged.

There is absolutely no way to effectively describe the scale of buy ing viagra in canada CES. It's at least a fifteen-minute walk to get wherever you're going, and you're battling over 140,000 people to get there. Being an outdoorsy type of guy, I own a pair of hiking shoes, but had no Idea I would need them! The blisters on my feet have now turned into calluses and http://www.hitlabnz.org/where-can-i-buy-levitra I feel like I barely even scratched the surface... I know I haven't seen even 20% of all the booths.
So, how green is CES this year? Todd at Green Wombat had some thoughts. I liked one of his suggestions: Move the conference to a more pedestrian-friendly city. Every morning it's been a sea of idling taxi cabs in a gigantic traffic jam... I learned my lesson and started taking the monorail, but it's packed handling only a tiny fraction of the conference goers. A nice touch has been the no prescription tramadol sales free buses to the major hotels after the show each night; they ought to http://plaisirdecreer.be/cheap-generic-viagra-india run them in the morning, too.
I did notice the biodegradable plates and utensils at the conference provided meals, but the vast majority of food here is coming from third-party food vendors, so there's a lot of viagra in canada Styrofoam ending up in the garbage cans.
Parker Brugge, Senior Director and Environmental Counsel of the Consumer Electronics Association let me in on a little secret - the local waste management company is viagra buying sorting recycling from refuse at the plant this year, rather than collecting it separately.
This is the legal pharmacy online future: Recycling integrated into the system to the point that you can assume it's happening. At this point in history it's important to keep spreading the message, but I look forward to a day when recycling is the rule and we don't even think about it.
But while the conference itself might be more sustainable, we at EcoGeek aren't sure about the mentality that has 140,000 people flocking to a city in the desert to drool over 150-inch plasman screen TVs. I mean...we're drooling too, but maybe it's time we step back and try to love our gadgets just a little bit less.

START program works to address red tide
Date: February 15, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, in partnership with Solutions to Avoid Red Tide, has created a special grants program to support projects that will study ways to control and potentially lessen the effects of Florida's red tide on coastal communities.
Called the "Red Tide Control and Mitigation Program," the competitive grants program has funded 12 research studies and disbursed more than $1.5 million between 2007 and 2009 to explore environmentally acceptable techniques or technologies for potential control of red tide blooms and their effects on Florida.
Those with questions about the program can contact Dr. Jill Copeland at 953-4545 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Indianapolis - Consumers put up some impressive numbers last month as retail sales scored the biggest one-month gain in years. In Central Indiana, economic experts say it's a good sign, but not necessarily a sign that the economy is recovering.
Jessica Limberry is a wedding photographer. Business is good.
"People have put a lot more money into those events, making sure their family and friends are having a good time," she said.
Consumers had a good time in August. Retail sales jumped 2.7 percent, the biggest monthly increase in three years. Auto sales, helped by the government's Cash for Clunkers incentives, jumped more than ten percent. Even excluding autos, typical consumer spending increased almost three times more than experts predicted.
"It's certainly good news," said Bill Rieber with Butler University's College of Business. But he is cautious. "The economy is improving, but still not doing well."
Consumers account for two-thirds of the nation's economic activity and most are holding on to their money.
"You never know what could take place at any given time," said Rasheeda Hague, who was out shopping Tuesday.
Nationwide, unemployment is increasing, manufacturing and other key industries aren't hiring until they see a sustained demand for their products. Although sales were up in August, they fell slightly in July.
Consumers spending more money consistently would push the auto, housing and financial industries closer to recovery.
"If those numbers keep improving, employers will be much more willing to hire people back and provide new job opportunities," said Bill Rieber.
It will likely take several consecutive months of increased consumer spending to convince employers to begin getting back to business.
Indiana's August unemployment figures come out Friday. With the nation's unemployment expected to top 10 percent and with incomes falling, analysts wonder whether Americans will have the ability or confidence to keep spending and pushing the economy towards a recovery.

My elaborate letter to American Experience on "Oswald's Ghost," propaganda PBS documentary on JFK assassination
Having watched the American Experience PBS documentary "Oswald's Ghost" on the conspiracy theories and the impact of the assassinations in the 60's, I was, needless to say, infuriated about the disinformation rampant throughout the film. The only positive comment I can say about the turgid film is that it contain priceless footages rarely seen, especially Dan Rather's ridiculous conclusion that JFK's head surged forward after the fatal shot penetrated the right side of the head.
I highly recommend the books "Plausible Denial" by Mark Lane (who appears in the documentary as a talking head, but I suspect the revelatory portions on E. Howard Hunt and CIA's role were snipped not for length reason but to conceal portions of the truth) and "Final Judgment" 6th ed. by Michael Collins Piper. These are the better books that have cracked the case of the conspiracy wide open.
Here is the letter I sent to "What's Your View?" on America Experience "Oswald's Ghost" web page. It's quite long, but it's the summarization of my formulated knowledge of the conspiracy in the pursuit of truth.
While the documentary strive to supply the information in conjunction with rare footages, [director] Robert Stone did a dismal job ignoring the central heart of the conspiracy connected to the CIA (not rogue but whole) and the Mossad in the elimination of President Kennedy, partly in revenge over Bay of Pigs fiasco and JFK's private threat to "splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter to the winds" & withdraw from Vietnam where CIA place its stake and most importantly reversing JFK's foreign policy towards Israel on the matter of clandestine development of the nuclear arsenal at the secret nuclear reactor Dimona. JFK signed National Security Action Memoranda 55, 56 and 57 that stripped CIA of its power to freely operate in covert ops and to account for its actions, which outraged senior members of the CIA. (JFK fired CIA director Allen Dulles after Bay of Pigs failure, and that same person ended up as a member of the Warren Commission.)
The tension between Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion & his subsequent successor Levi Eshkol and JFK was well-documented in the telegram correspondences ("Israel and the Bomb" by Avner Cohen). David stepped down abruptly on June 23, 1963 over argument with JFK concerning Israel's right to develop nuclear weaponry, ostensibly for self-defense in case of warring with hostile enemy neighbors.
CIA and Mossad, through the coordination of chief of counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton as liaison to Israel, cooperated in the joint operation to "remove" JFK to protect their geopolitical interests as well as the reputation, and the end result were the escalation of Vietnam War due to Gulf of Tonkin hoax and the complete turnaround of U.S. foreign policy to unconditionally respect Israel's power and sovereignty as an erstwhile ally in Middle Eastern affairs.
Lee Harvey Oswald may well have been involved in the conspiracy but only as an intelligence agent through myriad of contacts (US Naval Intelligence and possibly KGB), but he was a patsy as he said -- he was simply framed up as a useful covert intelligence asset for disposal by the CIA and the conspirators. In other words, Lee was certainly not guilty.
Lyndon Barnes Johnson was undoubtedly a traitor as were the high-ranking members of the US government [and military] who knew what faction removed JFK. Because LBJ usurped the power to appease the military-industrial complex, fabricating Gulf of Tonkin incident to begin escalating the Vietnam War to a larger level and extract the blood money & introduce sophisticated weaponry, tactical strategies and military technology in the process of brutalizing Vietnam to a perpetual third world nation status. The "communist domino theory" is non-sense as an excuse framed to justify the illegal and pointlessly bloody war.
After JFK's assassination, it is likely that President Johnson had contemplated invading Cuba after fabricating the intelligence that Castro ordered the murder of JFK in retaliation for the attempted invasion as well as spreading the fear of communist onslaught if not contained; USSR agreed to withdraw the missile bases, with the condition that USSR will once again retaliate to destruct United States should U.S. invade Cuba in a massive effort again.
JFK died a true patriot for America in defending her sovereignty against foreign and internal threats that converged to murder President Kennedy. The nuclear fires of World War III will be traced back to the assassination of JFK that have changed the course of human civilization forever, with the military-industrial-Congressional complex and State of Israel consolidating the ultimate power to decide the manifest destiny for the current world affairs at large.

Good Letter
Way to go in shining light on the real truths behind JFK's murder.
i didn't watch the PBS show, since i figured it would be some type of BS and agitprop.
At one time, PBS was a respectable network, usually providing both sides of the story and asking the questions no one else would.
Not any more. They've been taken over by the Khazars, as evidenced by the "experts" that appear on the evening news hour.
They'll have a Jew representing the right, one the left and one the middle of a discussion item.
At the end, this bunch of shady characters will issue an "opinion."
This past week, they showed a two hour special on American Jews, which they repeated several times.
And another show, hosted by one Khazar, featuring the composed works of another Khazar.
Each month, they slowly but surely, devolve into a joke of a network, featuring what they consider to be the best of Khazaristan.
Bye-bye, PBS.
Greg Bacon
Why didn't Kennedy Realize there was a Plot?
At 2:30 you can clearly hear the band begin playing Chopin's sonata no.2 in B flat minor. It should have been obvious to Kennedy when they switched from "Hail to the Chief" to the "Funeral March" that something was afoot. And that foot was a plot. And that plot was in Arlington with a little flame on top.
"Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly."
"Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly."
I'll tell you why Kennedy was killed and you tell me who did it
1.On June 4, 1963, JFK issued Executive Order 11,110, an AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289, which authorized the printing of "GREENBACK" silver certificates, which were to be circulated at zero interest. This was in direct competition with the Privately held Federal Reserve counterfeiting monopoly.
2. Kennedy also was going to eliminate the CIA,and
3. He spoke against and ordered inspection of Dimona to prevent empowering the state of Israel with nuclear capability.
Now you tell me who would kill him for that.
To Greg Bacon & Claymore
"At one time, PBS was a respectable network, usually providing both sides of the story and asking the questions no one else would. Not any more. They've been taken over by the Khazars, as evidenced by the "experts" that appear on the evening news hour."
Oh yes, PBS is thoroughly zionist. Hardly any non-Jews work in it any more. It's part of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, created by Congress in 1967 and headquartered in Washington DC. It's governed by a nine-member board that meets five or six times every year. Each member serves for six years, and is appointed by the U.S. President when there is a vacancy. Nominees must be approved by the U.S. Senate. The CPB board elects a chairperson, who normally serves for two years.
The current chairperson is Cheryl Halpern, a flaming Zionist Jew. She was the Former chairwoman of the Republican Jewish Coalition, the single most militant group in the USA (much more so than AIPAC). They support Giuliani. Halpern also sits on the board of AIPAC's Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
From 1998 to 2002 she chaired the United Nations Advisory Council of B'nai B'rith International, parent group of the ADL. Her family has business interests in Israel, and her husband, Fredrick Michael Halpern, is a member of AIPAC and the ADL.
In 2003, Bush appointed Halpern to the CPB board in recognition of her contributions to Republican campaigns.
Immediately Halpern complained that NPR and PBS coverage of Israel were "biased" (i.e., too accurate).
In December 2005, the Corporation For Public Broadcasting's nine-member board elected Halpern as chairperson. Immediately Halpern cut funding for programs she didn't like, such as "NOW With Bill Moyers." She also hired legions of Jews as NPR reporters, program managers, mid-level workers, and so on, pushing out all the filthy Goyim.
Halpern's CPB gets nearly half a billion color = red> dollars per year from the U.S. government, and its zionist programming is carried on about 1,000 public broadcasting radio and TV stations across the USA, plus a couple overseas (e.g., Berlin).
A previous zionist siege began in the 1980s when people like David Horowitz blasted public broadcasting at every opportunity. Horowitz had close ties with Republicans in congress that oversaw money for public broadcasting, and he encouraged those politicians to look hard at the CPB.
In the 1980s Horowitz formed the Committee On Media Integrity, whose main mission was to brand PBS as "anti-Semitic." Horowitz' campaign was supported by money from right-wing sources such as the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, plus the John M. Olin Foundation, and the Smith Richardson Foundation.
This financial backing -- plus Horowitz' venom -- made Congress threaten to shut down the CPB if the programming didn't go zionist.
Today Jews infest all positions at all levels of PBS. It's a zionist propaganda outlet supported by government money.
Yes and there's one additional factor. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy was closing in on the Meyer Lansky gang and its money laundering operations, which ranged from Switzerland to the Caribbean, and involved the same banks used by the CIA, drug lords, arms dealers, and Central American dictators. I believe JFK was removed for he reasons you've described, but I believe the Lansky gang arranged the actual hit. Jacob Rubenstein (aka Jack Ruby) was a close confidant of Lansky.
Why are there so many shadowy characters involved, including Bush Senior? Reason: all these creeps use the same money-laundering banks used by international gangsters and the CIA. The CIA also used the Nugan Hand Bank in Australia before that bank went under, and of course BCCI. The connection between all these people, the axis, is the money-laundering system.
This is why the CIA can shut down any FBI probe. It completely shut down the IRS probe into Lansky in the early 1970s. If Lansky's operations were fully exposed, the CIA and thousands of rich creeps would also be exposed, right to the top of the U.S. government.
In the early 1970s, Lansky fled to Israel to evade tax charges. The Israelis say they extradited him back to the USA, but the Israelis have never extradited any Jew at any time. Lansky came back so the CIA could whitewash everything connected with him. In 1974 he was acquitted of all charges. Then he spent the rest of his life in Miami Beach, and finally rejoined Satan in 1983. Clearly he was Puzo's inspiration for the "Hyrum Roth" character in the "Godfather" stories. To this day Jews are furious that Castro threw them out of Cuba. The non-Jewish anti-Castro crowd is extremely tight with AIPAC, and especially the ADL. AIPAC is their lobby.
For several months I've thought of writing a detailed post on the money-laundering system, and how it links so much that we see happening out there.
I must say AbdulZ..
.. you are a big part of what makes WUFYS great, &c.
And you too Nepos, &c.
Global equivalent of PBS? = NG
PBS and NPR have fallen. What is in the process of falling is National Geographic. About half of its editorial board has now fallen in the hands of the enemy. NG has started slowly to become part of the grand deception in a global scale. Like PBS it carefully capitalizes on its already established prestige and credibility. If Wikipedia is a passive engine of deception, NG will be an acitive engine.
You must have noticed the strange things like exclusive right given to NG in reading and interpretation of Dead Sea Scrolls, ominous articles of upcoming inevitable global epidemic fear mongering, giving scientific credibility to bird flu nonsense, printing atlas with "Arabian Gulf" next to "Persian Gulf" names in the heat of middle east cauldron, taking side in global warming debate,...
The scariest part is that NG has accumulated an armamentarium of locally collected maps on the ground (not satellite pictures) around the world that probably CIA, Mossad, and MI6 cannot produce if tried together.

What Is A Specimen Note ? A Specimen Note Is A Example Of United States Currency That Was Printed For The Sole Purpose To Send To Other Countries To Show High Or Upper Officials Examples Of United States Currency They Were And Are Not Negotiable . They Were Printed In All Denominations And Are Considered To Be Very Collectible In Fact Up Until About 5 Years Ago These Notes Were Illegal To Have And If The Government Found You With One They Could Confiscate It .
Albert Schweitzer College
Jim DiEugenio also makes the point here to contact PBS and register your displeasure. As Jim points out in that interview and his review of Oswald's Ghost that by ignoring the work of the ARRB (JFK Records Act of 1992) Robert Stone conveniently ignores Oswald's application to the 'spooky' -- Albert Schweitzer College -- among other things as if the HSCA, JFK, and the ARRB never existed.
The Atsugi Air Base -- where Oswald was a radar operator at that base with the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing -- was a major CIA stronghold. One of their biggest bases in the world in the 1950's. The U2 spy planes flew out of there, including the one that Francis Gary Powers was shot down in 1960.
Sheep-Dipped Patsy
You're welcome Nepos. Thank you for calling PBS on this disingenuous, albeit slick, propaganda piece.
It's very clear that Oswald was a sheep-dipped patsy.
So a true accounting of his activities and acquaintances would make an even better story. Not to mention historical accuracy would be a nice too.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Two dogs in Bowling Green, Kentucky are waiting to be adopted into new homes.
One woman says those very same dogs attacked her so badly she had to be LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt, two weeks ago.
Katie Duncan says her mother Terri was walking her dog Odie when two terrier mixes that had lived in the neighborhood for several years started coming after her and Odie.
Katie says while her mother was trying to protect her dog she was attacked and bitten in multiple places, including her thumb so severely it had to be reattached.
Duncan's friend Mindy Oliphant says she was surprised recently that the two dogs were posted on Petfinder for adoption.
"Our main concern is they're going to be adopted into a family or an elderly lady and do it again," Oliphant said.
Oliphant says she wonders why the dogs haven't been put down.
In an email Lorri Hare, the director of the Humane Society in Bowling Green says the incident has been noted on the dog's paperwork.
"All staff members know to explain the situation to someone who may be interested" in adopting the two.
Hare says they have no proof of what dog bit.
She says despite the Duncans' story they believe the dogs were actually fighting together and Terri tried to break them all up. During that she was bitten, all over her body, they believe unintentionally.
Terri Duncan was not able to do an on-the-record interview because of possible pending litigation in the case, but she disputes Hare's account.?

Today the Veterans Memorial Place is dedicated in a special ceremony. Over 100 people showed their respect by braving the heat for the 30-minute dedication on our country's birthday.
For Don Stemper July 4th is about a lot more than just fireworks.
Stemper says, "Listen to the national anthem it says the only way you were able to see that flag is by the rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air. That's the firework."
For him it's a day to celebrate the fellow soldiers and family members he lost through war and today Stemper has even more to celebrate. He is one of many veterans celebrating the new Veterans Memorial Place, dedicated today on our country's birthday. Having fought in the Korean Conflict Stemper already has a memorial to visit in Mankato. It's one of 14 in the greater Mankato area... but this newest memorial is extra meaningful,
Stemper says, "The merchant marines during World War II can't point to a monument like I can over at the library and say that's mine they did that for me. This is there's this is for all veterans. And this is why we did it. So all the people who fell through the loop hole so they can say we did this they did this for us."
Now the Memorial is finally finished. The star shaped memorial represents the five branches of military. It's lined with brick pavers recognizing service members from our area. Today the flags are raised high in honor of this special dedication that people were excited to come see despite the sweltering heat.
Marine Vietnam Veteran James Mason says, "We had a lot of people here today, we expected a lot of people here. Even though it is hot more came and it was really great to see all the veterans their families."
Stemper says, "It took a long time but we got it done. Now there's a place to come and reflect on your loved one."
With today being our nations Independence Day it is especially meaningful to honor the military men and women of our country... but this memorial stands as a reminder for everyday.

"It's fun in the snow. I really like the snow," says Kairo Herber, a child from Brigantine. "It's cold. It's wet. It's nasty," says James Okeefe of Egg Harbor Township. The kids love it. "Yea, I don't want any school. I want to have it all the way up to my knees," says Herber.
"It's wonderful to be out here. And it's Christmas time too so it's great. Just make sure they have their hats and their gloves on and they're warm," says Sandra Gottenberg of Brigantine. And as kids enjoy the first snow fall of the season. Drivers need to be cautious on the roads.
"Be safe and watch the kids crossing the street," says Gottenberg. "Go less than thirty, forty miles per hour," says Okeefe.
"And everybody please remember to put your lights on. You cannot imagine how many people don't drive with their lights during this kind of weather. It's pathetic," says Barbara Guarracino of Somers Point. And as the snow came down fast, the conditions on the roads grew unbearable for some drivers.
"The roads are icy and slippery. We're headed home and we're not going out of the house again today," says Guarracino. "Don't go out if you don't have to," says Dennis Sheenan, who is visiting from Ireland. And that's what the department of transportation recommends. They're asking people to avoid unnecessary travel.
But if you have to get on the roads. "Take it easy. Take your time. You will get where you have to go as long as you go slow," says Guarracino.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

O'Hare flight hits flock of birds during takeoff, returns to airport
SUN-TIMES MEDIA October 6, 2013 3:42PM
Updated: October 6, 2013 3:48PM
An American Airlines plane bound for China returned to O'Hare International Airport Sunday — after flying into a flock of birds during takeoff.
Flight 289 left O'Hare at 10:50 a.m. for Shanghai, China, according to a statement from American spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan.
The captain of the Boeing 777-200 plane declared an emergency after and returned to O'Hare at 11:14 a.m., Fagan said.
The Chicago Fire Department was alerted; a still and box alarm and an EMS Plan 1 were called, sending five ambulances to the scene about 11 a.m., according to the fire department.
The plane landed safely, returned to the gate and was taken out of service for maintenance, Fagan said.
There were 237 passengers and 15 crew members aboard the plane, Fagan said.
The passengers departed for China on another plane about 2:30 p.m., Fagan said.

Tamera Mowry Shares Her Curly Hair Secrets
Don't you hate it when highly favored LSLH women pretend that their good hair isn't one of the benefits of their biracial heritage?
Let's face it, nappy hair is called nappy for a reason. It takes a good deal of effort (and strong chemicals) to tame our tight African curls.
For women like Tamera Mowry and her twin sister, Tia, half the battle is won because they inherited their soft, easy to manage curls from their white ancestors.
On her blog, Tamera suggests that everyone (even those of us with tight, hard to manage curls) can achieve her soft bouncy curls by simply drying our hair with a cotton tee instead of a towel which causes split ends.

Film Review: 'Riddick'
An improbable but very enjoyable sequel that recaptures much of the stripped-down intensity of Vin Diesel and director David Twohy's franchise starter "Pitch Black."
An improbable but very enjoyable sequel that recaptures much of the stripped-down intensity of Vin Diesel and director David Twohy's franchise starter "Pitch Black."
This sprawling, highly fictional biopic of longtime White House butler Eugene Allen is at once gratuitously sentimental and genuinely rousing.
'District 9' writer-director Neill Blomkamp delivers a less dazzling but absorbing and intelligent bit of futurism.
PROVIDED BY: Box Office
Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg make for an enjoyable pair in this fleet, unpretentious caper pic from Baltasar Kormakur.
Lindsay Lohan brings a raw conviction to Paul Schrader's ultra-low-budget but handsomely made study of hungry young things clawing at the good life.
This generally uninspired mashup of "Ghostbusters" and "Men in Black" benefits from a hilariously free-associative performance by Jeff Bridges.
Steven Spielberg's sage decision to show the mechanical shark as little as possible in "Jaws" springs to mind with each successive glimpse of an incredibly fake-looking man-eating catfish in Larry…
A welcome throwback to an earlier, more generously entertaining era of summer blockbusters, grounded in an immensely appealing star turn by Channing Tatum.
For all its negative pre-release publicity, this is a surprisingly smart, gripping and imaginative addition to the zombie-movie canon.
An insidious web of money, sex and power entangles all the characters in Claire Denis' hypnotic nocturnal thriller.

Statesboro, GA (Sports Network) - Karl Cochran scored 16 points and Spencer Collins posted a double-double as the Wofford Terriers defeated the Georgia Southern Eagles, 53-47, in a Southern Conference brawl at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Collins had 14 points and 11 rebounds and Lee Skinner put in 11 points while coming a rebound shy of his own double-double for Wofford (12-17, 6-10 SoCon) which had lost back-to-back games entering play.
Eric Ferguson tallied 11 points as the only player in double figures for Georgia Southern (11-17, 5-10) which has lost four of its last five games.
Though the Terriers shot just 33.3 percent from the field in the first half, they still managed to take 26-21 lead at the break by holding Georgia Southern to just six field goals on 25 percent shooting.
Cochran, Collins and Skinner combined to score 25 points in the second half as the Terriers shot 46.2 percent from the field to close out the victory.
Wofford had a 40-31 edge in rebounds and outscored the Eagles, 11-4, in second chance points.

About Us
Our Connection to You
We Believe Everything is Connected
Creating strength in our local community is important to us and we want to be the spark that connects our neighbors. Through our Good Connections program, we actively encourage and promote companies and ideas that improve our local communities and create strong, thriving neighborhoods. If you would like to request a donation for your local non-profit, please submit your application through our Giving Trax page by clicking the link at the bottom of the page.
Because there is a tie between giving and receiving
Bringing people together to make a connection is an important part of who we are at Rainier Connect. The Good Connections Social Hour is a quarterly gathering of colleagues, clients, friends and family at our office to come together and learn about a non-profit organization or new local client.
Technology 101
Rainier Connect hosts a quarterly TECH 101 seminar for representatives of non-profit organizations to learn the basics of setting up a network, creating secure systems, and trouble shooting. During this hands-on program, we also help organizations by creating the space for new friendship and a collective sharing of knowledge.
With some telecom companies, "community service" means parking a van on your street for installations and service calls. At Rainier Connect, our involvement is deeper and more personal because we've lived and worked in these same communities for the past 100 years. As a locally grown company, we're dedicated to improving the quality of life for everyone in Washington's Puget Sound region. We're advocates for youth education and community development, encouraging and supporting employees and organizations who give back to the communities we serve, and beyond.
Connecting to the Next Generation
Because we believe in supporting the health of our communities and promoting the next generation, we have started the Arne Haynes Memorial Scholarship for Technology. Arne led us for 36 years, and among his many accomplishments, he always had the ability to keep a step ahead of the latest technology. He was the first to retire an operator required for every phone call when he installed an electronic switch that allowed customers to dial each other. He also led us to become one of the first phone companies in Washington to use digital switching.
When Arne retired in 1990, he had grown the company from 300 to more than 1,800 customers.
In August 2011, Arne passed away with his family by his side and an understanding that they would lead Rainier Connect through the next generation of technological growth...we invite you to be a part of that development by submitting your application for this scholarship.
Are you Eligible?
The Rainier Connect, Arne Haynes Memorial Scholarship for Technology is open to high school seniors who:
- Live and attend school in one of the areas where Rainier Connect is available. (Bethel, Eatonville, Tacoma, Puyallup, Franklin Pierce, Chehalis, and Centralia)
- Have at least a 3.0 GPA (based on a 4.0 scale) throughout high school. Please provide a sealed official transcript.
- Volunteer or participate in community services or extracurricular activities
- Plan on attending an accredited four-year college or university
It's easy to submit your application for the Rainier Connect, Arne Haynes Memorial Scholarship for Technology scholarship. Here's how the selection process works:
There are many qualities that every great technology entrepreneur must exhibit in order to be successful. Answer the five following questions, providing a detailed explanation with real life examples.
- Every entrepreneur must be disciplined. What have you done that shows your discipline and what specific steps have you taken to minimize distractions from your goals?
- The successful entrepreneur is often the first person to arrive at the office and the last one to leave. They come in on their days off to make sure that they meet their goals and expectations. How have you embodied this idea of a strong work ethic and what were the results?
- Great entrepreneurs are often called upon to support their communities through networking and volunteerism. How have you made your community a better place to live and how did you utilize your personal networks and volunteer time?
- Passion is one of the most important traits of the successful entrepreneur. The long hours of work and determination are balanced with a genuine love for their work. They put in extra hours to make the business succeed because their business gives them a joy that goes beyond the money. What do you have a passion for and how have you pursued it?
- Very few businesses are built without failures along the way, but the true entrepreneur doesn't let that slow their determination, they are not thwarted by their defeats. They look at defeat as an opportunity for success. What have you done that didn't turn out as you had planned, and how did you turn the defeat into a success?
When answering the questions, be as specific as possible. Describe your student body and community activities, volunteer participation, and all work experiences, paid or unpaid. Working as a volunteer is as valuable as working for pay, so make sure you tell us of your role(s) and how you participated in each activity.
Apply now through March 3, 2014. If you have questions, please send an email to email@example.com
or call 253.683.4211.
Include a cover sheet with the following information:
Mailing Address
University you plan to attend
Major Field of Study
Winners will be notified in May 2014, to ensure you receive prompt notification please be sure to include contact information with the application.

Role Play - Oh, donŌĆÖt we all love them. But itŌĆÖs not your ŌĆśTom Cruise meets Priyanka Chopra under coversŌĆÖ kind of role play. Women like to get naughtier. You never know, next time you are at her place, she might just show up in a schoolgirl dress. A really short skirt, a tight buttoned shirt, leaving little to imagination and topping it all are those naughty eyes. She will behave like a brat, till you punish her, spank her, and then ravage her.
