Per Bug 419127 the Yahoo Application State Plugin is causing currently crashes on Yahoo Sites on Trunk. To prevent Users from Crashes with this Plugin (is also shipped with the Yahoo Messenger), we might need to blocklist this Plugin.
I think a problem could be, that i don't see a version number in about:plugins. This might be a problem when this Plugin Problem is fixed. Any thoughts ?
According to my System with the latest Yahoo Messenger installed, the Plugin has version 22.214.171.124
Adding kev to this bug, he may have some ideas about who to contact at Yahoo.

> Adding kev to this bug, he may have some ideas about who to contact at Yahoo.
Note, see Bug 419127, yahoo is already informed about this, this bug is about bocklist the "old" plugin that cause this crash.
Pav, what's the plan here, are we going to attempt to fix this, or do we need to blocklist plugins that don't play nice?
we should push as hard as we can to get vendors to fix their plugins. I'm not actively working on a workaround for them. If these things are still an issue in the next release I'll take another look at a workaround.
Once all the Fx3 bugs regarding plugin blocklisting are complete (bug 391731) - we'll want to update the production blocklist with this plugin.
What is the latest word from Yahoo on this? Has anyone heard anything lately?
I'll ping the product manager for an update.
Who owns this bug?
Damon: This is effectively a tracking bug, trying to get Yahoo to fix their plugin. Should that fail, we'll have to do some kind of workaround (in another bug). I'll probably have to do some of that work.
Moving it to the new Blocklisting component for addons.mozilla.org
Stuart/Damon - looks like bug 419127 is the tracking bug, we'll use this to track the blocklisting portion.
Could you guys update this if/when you decide blocklisting is going to happen?
Restoring lost blocking flag
Per comment 3, it looks like no matter what we'll want to blocklist the bad version of the plugin to make sure that people update to the good (non-crashy!) version.
Mike -- okay, going to bump this up and work on testing the live service with Tony. Submitted what I think is my final patch for bug 391633, so after we test it we'll launch.
morgamic: could you figure out what name description and filename would be?
[3:24pm] tchung: morgamic, if you wanna comment in the bug, the staging url you want me to test with, i can tackle this over the weekend also
[3:24pm] morgamic: yea, i'll set this up before weekend
[3:24pm] tchung: ah, just a sec. i'll have to dig it up..
[3:25pm] Tomcat: npYState.dll
[3:25pm] Tomcat: Yahoo Application State Plugin
[3:25pm] tchung: thanks tomcat!
[3:25pm] tchung: morgamic ^^
[3:27pm] Tomcat: description is: npYState
morgamic: for now i'll set version as 3.0pre
[4:23pm] tchung: so nightlies only?
[4:23pm] morgamic: yea, for now until i figure out how to do it for ranges
[4:24pm] morgamic: it's a 1-hour fix but i have to leave in 5 min
[4:26pm] morgamic: tchung: http://morgamic.khan.mozilla.org/amo-reskin/site/services/blocklist.php?reqVersion=1&appGuid={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=3.0pre
[4:26pm] morgamic: need VPN, and host entry for the subdomain: 10.2.74.111 morgamic.khan.mozilla.org
Mike, this test has failed. The yahoo application state plugin is failing to get blocklisted using the url you gave me.
Tested against the nightly: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008040404 Minefield/3.0pre
Steps to repro:
1) download Y! messenger on XP and install it.
2) install nightly build on XP
2a) openVPN over to MPT-mozilla to access khan.mozilla.org
3) goto about:config and set extensions.blocklist.url = http://morgamic.khan.mozilla.org/amo-reskin/site/services/blocklist.php?reqVersion=1&appGuid={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}&appVersion=3.0pre
4) Restart firefox
5) Check about:plugins or Addons Manager > Plugins tab, and verify "Yahoo Application State Plugin" is still enabled
6) For additional verification, go to http://sports.yahoo.com, click any link, and verify crash.
Stack trace: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bbab51a3-0267-11dd-9e5b-0013211cbf8a
hmm, i just realized i used extensions.blocklist.url so this testcase may not work. Is there a plugins.blocklist.url type of setting? If not, what is the correct configuration i need to set the url to? Mossop?
Can you actually load the xml file?
oh i need to try setting extensions.blocklist.interval to 30 and app.update.timer to 60 to accelerate the download of the blocklist. I'll retest and report back.
Tony, I wrote this with stephend last year:
See if that helps, and we should update that if possible.
Created attachment 313764 [details]
yahoo state plugin screenshot
No luck. i made the value changes from my last comment, but its still not seeing the plugin being blocklisted.
Yes, i can see the XML file, tunneling through MPT.
Screenshot attached. (Yahoo Application State Plugin shows "enabled")
Ok, so either one of the match elements is wrong or the local blocklist.xml file is not being updated. Did you check to see if the local blocklist.xml was ever touched/updated?
The description for the plugin is incorrect. it should be "Yahoo Application State Plugin"
yes, the local blocklist.xml timestamp was updated. Let me know when you change the description name per dave's comment, and i'll retry the test. Thanks
Done... verify that this is what we need. I made description 'npYState' based on what was asked in IRC (comment #16).
<match name="name" exp="Yahoo Application State Plugin"/>
<match name="description" exp="Yahoo Application State Plugin"/>
<match name="filename" exp="npYState.dll"/>
What's about:plugins say?
I took that description from about:plugins, but you have to know how to read it as there is a confusing "Description" column which isn't the plugin description.
In general, the title-like bit is the name, directly below that is the obvious file name. The line below that, before the table, is the description.
The change is now working correctly. I can see the yahoo application state plugin being disabled on plugins manager, and the line item is removed from about:plugins. The crash on sports.yahoo.com is not there anymore.
The last step is to turn it on in production and add the bullet point to http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/. I'll verify when its live.
Hey guys, we're planning on deploying the change from bug 391633 this Tuesday during an outage window. During that time we'll be able to also add the entry for this bug and close it out.
FYI - still on track for tonight...
Can someone please describe to me what the user experience is going to be here?
Requesting additional information from Y!
I've spoken with tony and kev, and am OK with this happening for Firefox 3, so a=beltzner for blocklisting this. Not sure if that's always going to be needed or if I'm just being a prima-donna about that. We should probably cue up a discussion about this, but hopefully blocking plugins will be as rare as blocking add-ons has been.
I'm pretty bummed though that we haven't heard anything from yahoo regarding this apparently.
At the very least it's good if us blocking them doesn't cause hurt feelings.
Even better is if the right info reach the right people over there to fix this on their end.

There have been emails going around between various people. I think Yahoo have all the info they need to both fix the crashing and make the new version not be blocklisted. Last email I saw was around 5 days ago.
Y! has fixed this, and the fix will be released on May 12.
Yay! Excellent, thanks guys!
Blocklisted for Firefox 3.0a1 and newer.

Afghan Threat Finance Cell
The Afghan Threat Finance Cell is a multi-agency intelligence organization, in Afghanistan.[1][2][3] The organization was created in 2008. The United States' Drug Enforcement Administration is the lead agency in the organization. The co-deputy agencies are the United States Treasury and the United States Department of Defense. Other participating agencies include the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the United States Internal Revenue Service.
The Afghan Threat Finance Cell was set up at the initiative of General David Petraeus, when he was promoted to command of CentCom, based on the experience of the earlier Iraqi Threat Finance Cell, that had reported to him when he was in command in Iraq.[4][5]
Tracking both illicit and legitimate financial transactions led to 27 approved targets to be named on the "Joint Prioritized Effects List".[1] The Joint Prioritized Effects List is colloquially called the "kill or capture list". Once an individual is named on this list, special forces are authorized to covertly target and raid that individual's home or workplace.
In February 2011, Dexter Filkins, writing in The New Yorker, reported:[3]
The Threat Finance Cell also has almost single-handedly demonstrated the degree to which the American-led war in Afghanistan is compromised by connections among the Taliban, drug traffickers, and Afghan officials.[3]
The organization was instrumental in exposing corruption in the Kabul Bank, which came close to collapse in 2010.[6]
In February 2012 the Afghan Threat Finance Cell was awarded the Department of Defense's Joint Meritorious Unit Award.[1]

The ATFC began operations in mid-2009 and is a multi-agency organization led by DEA with the Treasury Department and Department of Defense as co-deputies. Additional personnel staff ATFC from the Department of Defense's CENTCOM, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Internal Revenue Service. In the past, the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police also were members. The ATFC's purpose is to attack insurgence funding and financing networks by providing threat finance expertise and actionable intelligence to U.S. civilian and military leaders.

The US government has now created a special investigative unit called the Afghan Threat Finance Cell that gathers financial information about the Taliban. The cell has about two-dozen members drawn from the Drug Enforcement Administration, US Central Command, the Treasury Department and the CIA. The FBI is expected to join soon.

The investigation into Kabul Bank was run by a remarkable but little-known group of Americans working at the Embassy called the Afghan Threat Finance Cell. Their findings are considered so sensitive that almost no one—generals, diplomats, the investigators themselves—is willing to talk about them publicly.
- ^ J. Edward Conway (2012-07-05). "Analysis in Combat: The Deployed Threat Finance Analyst". Small Wars Journal. Archived from the original on 2012-08-28.
Gen. Petraeus at this time had moved from commander in Iraq to commander of CENTCOM writ large and saw as one of his priorities the establishment of a threat finance cell in Afghanistan akin to the ITFC. When he was asked at a House of Representatives hearing in April of 2009 to comment on how forces in Afghanistan were combating threat finance networks, he responded that the key would be getting the Afghan Threat Finance Cell set up because of the ITFC's success in Iraq.

I just received an email
Address from Wanker Press,
They said they read my manuscript
And it was too shithouse to access.
They won't publish a Poet of the People
'Forget the fucking Prols!'
At Wanker Press they told me
'We have much loftier of goals.'
'We aim to please the critics
Newspapers, and other cretins,
As for rhyming poets, well....
We just won't let them in.
'We have standards to keep down
We must not let them rise,
We're aiming low to please the critics
We're not aiming for the skies.
'Imagine Pablo Picasso as a bloody awful poet
Instead of a bloody awful painter,
That's the shit that the critics like
The crowd for whom we cater.
'Don't send us your rhyming muck
Which has a clear, precise message,
We like obscurist, verbose crap
That keeps the punters guessing.
'Don't try to improve the world through rhyme
We like it lousy, as it is,
Don't fill our emails with your sweet wine
We're used to drinking donkey piss.
'It's not for nought they call us
"That bloody Wanker Press!"
We won't publish any cream
We want fifth ... not second best!'

That is very possible from the looks of it in the photo. If she doesn't spawn the body will reabsorb the eggs, so nothing to worry about.

Matt Smith was today named as the new Doctor Who, the BBC said, becoming the 11th Time Lord since the programme first aired in 1963.
Mr Smith will replace David Tennant at the helm of the Tardis, and is due to first appear on our screens as the revered doctor in 2010.
Smith, 26, is the youngest ever doctor and although relatively unknown, has appeared in Alan Bennett's play The History Boys at the National Theatre in London, and alongside Christian Slater in Swimming with Sharks in the West End.
He said he was delighted to take on the role.
He explained: "I've got this wonderful journey in front of me. I've got six months to build this Time Lord and that's such an exciting prospect."
Smith was unveiled live on BBC1 and with the broadcast beamed live on BBC big screens nationwide.
He added: "I'm just so excited about the journey that is in front of me. It's a wonderful privilege and challenge that I hope I will thrive on.
"I feel proud and honoured to have been given this opportunity to join a team of people that has worked so tirelessly to make the show so thrilling.
"David Tennant has made the role his own, brilliantly, with grace, talent and persistent dedication. I hope to learn from the standards set by him.
"The challenge for me is to do justice to the show's illustrious past, my predecessors, and most importantly, to those who watch it. I really cannot wait."
Tennant announced in October last year that he would be stepping down from his role as the doctor at the end of this year.
The fifth series of the much-loved sci-fi hit will also have a new lead writer and executive producer with Bafta award-winning writer Steven Moffat taking over from Russell T Davies.
Moffat will be joined by Piers Wenger, who will be the new executive producer for BBC Wales making the show.
Wenger, head of drama at BBC Wales, added: "With two hearts, a ferocious mind and over 900 years of experience behind him, it's not every 26-year-old actor who can take on a role like the Doctor but within moments of meeting Matt he showed the skill and imagination needed to create a Doctor all of his own.
"It's just the beginning of the journey for Matt but with Steven Moffat's scripts and the expertise of the production team in Cardiff behind him, there is no-one more perfect than him to be taking the Tardis to exciting new futures when the series returns in 2010."
Four Doctor Who specials featuring Tennant will run in 2009 into New Year 2010 before Smith appears on our screens.
Tennant told the Doctor Who Confidential programme: "It's funny really, as I begin the end of my connection to all of this I do feel a bit of jealousy of Matt who's kind of just about to start and has got all off this ahead of him and it's a very exciting journey to go on."
The identity of the new Doctor has been strictly guarded by the BBC.
Favourites for the role had changed seemingly week-in week-out as more and more actors' names were put forward by the media.
David Morrissey, Catherine Zeta Jones, Martin Clunes and even David Walliams were amongst others mooted for the part.
But Smith finally won the prized role and said he was still in a state of shock following his appointment.
He explained: "I'm flabbergasted, I haven't slept really to be honest."
He added: "It's an iconic part of our culture, my grandad knows about it, my dad knows about it, it's been going since 1963 it has the iconic status of Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes."
Moffat who helped chose the new Doctor said he knew Smith was perfect to fill Tennant's boots as soon as he saw him.
He explained: "The Doctor is a very special part, and it takes a very special actor to play him. You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe.
"As soon as Matt walked through the door, and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man."

It's time once again to join our own dysfunctional family as we take a look at the After Dark Horror Fest entry The Hamiltons in this installment of Irreconcilable Differences!
She Says:
Our date-night choice for tonight was The Hamiltons. Going into this movie all I knew was it was a horror film about a strange and dysfunctional family. Okay, big whoop, but I figured I would give it a go. Settling into the film I was worried a bit about dozing off. The beginning of the move was a nice little shocker: a woman releasing herself from bonds, finding her dead boyfriend, and attempting to help another person who she thinks is also locked up. Whatever it is behind door number one ends up not being the car prize, but an unseen thing that ultimately ends her feeble screen existence.
As we move into learning more about the family, the pace slows down quite a bit with little bits of everyday ho-hummery here and there. The tale is told through the eyes of the youngest son in the home. For a school project he is videotaping bits and pieces of his family's life and we hear a lot of the melancholy teen angst in his camera shots. The characters were a little undeveloped, but the whole story had me captivated. Trying to figure out exactly what was going on and why these people were doing what it was they did – it all had me trying to think and figure out the intricate puzzle pieces they were shoving at me left and right.
We have the oldest brother who is simply trying to keep his family together with the tools of his father's trade. We have the twins and their deviant behavior bringing in the sexy element. We have the younger brother simply trying to figure out where he fits in all of this, and then we have the elusive Lenny who is kept in the cellar. Add to this an over-enthusiastic social worker, and you could have the styling of a sitcom! With the beautiful imagery, camera work, and skillful direction, we have a lovely dark cloud of unease that lurks benevolently in the corner. The whole theme is "What darkness lurks in the heart of man." They hit it by stating, "We live next door to you. Our children play with your children. We work at the stores you shop at."
This movie was so beautifully crafted, I hated to see it end. I wanted to see the next chapter in these people's lives. What comes out of the box? Where does it all go from here? They left me wanting more, but in a good sense. I wanted to stay a voyeur in these people's lives just a bit longer.
5 Triple Dares out of 5
He Says:
I could wax ecstatic on this one for many paragraphs, but I have to do so in a fashion as to not blow away the entire plot. Bear with me here as I try and give this to you spoiler-free.
As the Mrs. stated above, this flick was presented with little to no prior information aside from the fact it was part of the After Dark Horrorfest that hit select theatres last year. That said, the basic plot gleaned from the Internet was pretty basic and straightforward. A family of siblings with deceased parents struggles to survive under the leadership of oldest brother David. While working on a school video project, youngest brother Francis gives us a bird's eye view of his somewhat dysfunctional family and slowly reveals the various quirks leading us to believe deeper waters are indeed choppy in the Hamilton family.
So there you have it. It seems fairly straightforward as you head into a film with little to no prior knowledge. When the film kicks off on a disturbing step with a disheveled and bruised Brittany Daniel escaping her bonds only to find her dead friends, it quickly becomes apparent that this family is possibly a bit more dysfunctional than most. As she proceeds to try and free an apparent fellow survivor, we are left in even more confusion and wonderment as we find something far darker than another abused babe behind the door.
With a direct opening such as this, the stage is set for an uncomfortable journey of family life and understanding, and that's where the beauty lies in The Hamiltons. It'll make you squirm in your seat.
Throughout the film, as bits and pieces of the troubled psyche of this family of five begin to reveal themselves, our discomfort begins to grow as well. The individual siblings all combine together to help add the squirminess and mystery of the story as well, and all are delivered quite well to suck us into this morass of WTF?
Family patriarch David (Samuel Child) shows us a nervous man and slightly awkward, fighting hard to keep control of their situation and left with nothing but his fathers knowledge to aid them. Older brother Wendell (Joseph McKellheer) is a hot-headed trouble maker often forcing the family into early departures and extra hardships. Sister Darlene (Mackenzie Firgens) hides an apparent dark side, rebelling against David as he tries to do what is right for his family. She plots her own mischief and mayhem and explores her budding sexuality. Francis (Cory Knauf) is a confused young boy on the verge of manhood, an outcast from society and his own family, fighting to figure out where he belongs.
Then there's Lenny. Lenny is locked in the cellar. That's all we really know about Lenny. These parts combine together to present a family with a dark and twisted side, and all turn in a terrific performance that will make your hair stand on end. These performances, and the leading and vague plot through the film, are what make this a great horror flick. Unfortunately, I can't tell you much about the plot, but hopefully with this review and The First Lady's above, you'll get the idea that it is indeed something that you need to see.
Much like the hey day of Hammer Studios, The Hamiltons is a cerebral horror flick aimed at making you think and ultimately making those thoughts disturb you for a solid hour and a half. Sure, there's some gore here, but nothing that's going to make you toss your cookies. Adding to that, the gore is not gratuitous or over the top. It's quite integral to our tale and serves a distinct purpose. The few glances of it help add to the mystery of this family, furthering your bewilderment along the way and your thoughts of "Man that family is messed up." This one won't make you jump, but it will make you talk about it for a good hour or two afterwards – and possibly make you throw a wary glance the next time you see that awkward, quiet family out mowing their yard on the weekend.
If you only see one of the After Dark flicks, make it this one. From the four or five we've seen up to this point, this is by far the most solid as far as horror flicks go. No cheap thrills, no cheap jumps, just gear turning drama that'll make even this hardened genre junky shiver a bit.

Dallas Theater Center Does Just About the Nicest Thing Ever
Marius and Eponine get a hipster update.
Karen Almond
The Dallas Theater Center's version of Les Miserables has turned quite a few heads for its contemporary take on the classic tale of the French Revolution. Director Liesl Tommy's politically charged update has earned comparisons to Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring. The musical when placed in a modern context signals the story's timelessness, as well as the repetitive nature of history. And this courageous interpretation has earned DTC mountains of press throughout the globe, placing it in front of the eyes of many an interested theater-goer. Including, it turns out, a 16-year-old girl named Anna in Alaska.

Earlier this week, a letter arrived in the DTC mailbox from Anna addressed to "The creators, producers, actors and actresses involved." After weeks of reading about the show on the Internet, she was compelled to write a letter expressing her adoration for this production she'd probably never get a chance to see and requesting a video recording be made of the show. And in a move deserving an Upworthy headline, the Board of DTC partnered with The Fairmont Dallas to fly Anna in for the show's final weekend. It was a generous gesture, because we're guessing a last minute plane ticket from Alaska in August isn't cheap.
Perhaps, we're just touched by the idea that this is how much DTC believes in the production. But we think this is just about the most downright wonderful thing that's ever happened in the Dallas Arts District. So kudos, DTC.

Oh, and on a personal note, color me impressed, Anna. I think when I was 16-years-old, my only deepest thought about Les Mis was a navel-gazing belief that I was just like poor, brokenhearted Eponine.

text: Interesting timing on this question. I have fired thousands of rounds of 115 grain S&B in both my Walther PPS and my M&P. It has been flawless, up to now. Last week I started to experience FTF in about one in eight rounds. I looked at the primer strikes and noticed that they were hitting both light and slightly off center. I cleaned the striker assembly on my M&P (after some 6,000 rounds seemed like a good idea) and the problem seemed solved. Yesterday however, I did experience two more FTF with the same symptoms. The gunsmith at the range said that he thought it was probably the ammo as the problem is so intermittent. Perhaps just a bad lot?

Offroad went wrong
5 Attachment(s)
So today me and some friends decided to go offroading and for the first time ever it went all wrong. As I was coming up a hill I slammed the gas pedal thinking it was more to the hill and oh boy! As I flew like 3 seconds on the air I realized there was no sand to ride on and I ended up slamming the jeep front to the ground. At first I think it was okay but when I took out to pavement I noticed the front tires where inside out and when moving the jeep made cracking noises, I think I might end up messing up the front differential since its leaking oil and cause of the fact that the tires are looking inside out. I also noticed the hood looks asymmetrical to the whole body. Any suggestions on how much this might cost to repair? They also told me I could ended up messing the 4x4 as well..
From the pictures it look like axle is bent. Around 1500-2000 to replace. The side shots of the jeep fenders looks like a bent frame. Insurance may total out jeep pending on cost of repairs. As far as cost.... Thousands. Insurance will total it out if the cost to repair it is higher than the value of the jeep.
Wow! That sucks, but I bet it was fun while it lasted.
Axle is bent, and since you have a Sport you would have the Dana 30 axle which you would be able to find on craigslist for like 100-500 in good condition.
Other thing that might be worth taking a look at is if your frame is bent.
Wow, you really messed that jeep up
Its just a scratch it will buff out.. Try plasti dip..
No but really that sucks bad. Hope u get it fixed
10 Attachment(s)
i've been getting all kinds of responds, so here are some other pics of the impact.
bent axle for sure...
Next Jeep look into a hand throttle...a lot more control and things like that are less likely to happen...
looks like it is just your axle tube. not a huge deal. the body damage came from your tires hitting your fenders
If you're lucky, the quarter panel damage is just from the tires smacking into them, otherwise, you're looking at a bent frame. and congratulations on being the first to successfully install an "extreme camber" kit on a jeep.
Hopefully is just that.. in that case all I need is to replace the front differential right? If its just that Im planning on getting Detroit Lockers Differentials.
so the whole axel and stay away from lockers would be better?
Am I the only one who laughed?
"As I flew 3 seconds in the air"... LOL.
You fudged that axle good!
Admit it, you tried jumping your Jeep didn't you.:happyyes:
Take a CLOSE look at pics #2 #3 #4 it clearly indicates the frame is bent upward, that is why the hood is moved forward and there is a gap at the bottom of the front fenders.The bent axle is the least of your problems.
Ouch! That hurt. Very thankful you were not hurt though. The poor Jeep has definitely seen better days.
Jeep: Fly the Friendly Skies:doh2:
Well you popped your Cheri now you know you can't jump like that lol . New axle and if your frame is bent it can be straightened if you got the money I have seen worse that got fixed ..
Welcome to 4wheeling shit happens !
Keep us posted .
Well Im gonna tow the jeep to the mechanic today to get the final veridic. Thanks for your help I think the body frame might be bent a little and for sure a new axle. I'll keep you updated on the progress and the cost of it ddc4edde1e
Yeah that Dana 30 is gone but like others on here sad you can get on on crageslist for 200- 750 an then take that to a body shop to have the frame looked at an if it's bad you can get one from a junk yard for around 100 or so. Hope you get that jeep back on them trails!
An to add to my lost post if you can find some Dana 44s on Craigslist I'd go with that as a upgrade you wound enjoy it!
Frames bent.... insurance is gonna total it out.
You need to get a orange '69 Charger, paint an 01 on the side and a confederate flag on the roof. Stay away from Jeeps.
X 1,000,000 You really F'd that thing up Holmes!!! Grab a beer and your insurance check and get a new one! :drinks:
words of wisdom... when you're wheeling - here's probably the best piece of advice you'll ever get... :blackeye
go as slow as possible and as fast as necessary... :thumb:
Back in 1975 I bought a CJ5 and one of first things I put on was an front axle truss. I have a 12 Sport now and don't recall ever seeing one for the front axle. In fact one of my friends made it for me it was very easy to install and it gave the axle good support.
Darn. So, Jeeps can't fly. And all this time, I thought I had the Dukes of Hazzard beat off-road. I guess not. Keep the wheels on the ground when off-roading. Well, thanks for the lesson.

An excerpt from one Cuestonian's travel diary directly from exotic Thailand
"Touch and Take Pictures With Real Live Tigers!!!" read the cheesy roadside advertisement in bold neon lettering with multiple enticing exclamation marks. A true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Might as well touch the tigers while they were within reach.
It was part of the choke-down-that-spicy-food-and-let-your-eyes-water, taste-it-while-it's-in-front-of-you game, a significant factor in the live-each-life-for-the-moment movement.
Bogged down with cameras and I'm pretty sure I spotted a fanny pack or two, the school vans pulled over to give us students our tourist-trap opportunity at Kanchanaburi Tiger Temple in the west of Thailand.
Once when I was about twelve years old, we were on a family vacation driving around near Santa Cruz, with little to do in the mode of entertainment.
A succession of yellow billboards alluringly advertising the seductive, "Mystery Spot!" kept us excited for long stretches of road on end as we neared this so-called questionable zone.
With so much anticipation, and ambiguous miles of pre-destination billboards, there was no way possible we could just drive by and call it a day.
Unloading the car's passengers onto the dusty gravel parking lot we set out to sleuth about this skeptical spot.
Letdown of the century is all I can think of to describe the intensity of the anticlimax of our adventure.
We were bent down sideways with laughter the entire tour due to the fact that the hokeyness factor seemed to be set at a billion and two as we watched a ball mysteriously roll uphill and other miraculous gravity defying feats.
I think the most impressive part of the whole charade was the amount of merchandise the gift shop was stuffed solid with.
Mystery Spot mugs, bumper stickers, key chains. "Someone who went to Mystery Spot Loves Me," and, "I survived Santa Cruz Mystery Spot" T-shirts. Ample amounts of apparel stacked floor to ceiling stamped with that bright yellow seal of mystery.
Walking through the entrance of this tiger temple I could sniff out the similarities to the Mystery Spot in a single whiff. Same tacky pamphlets, informational bulletin boards, five dollar per photo fee charge, and I could already spot the gift shop gracing the horizon.
Supposedly a "temple" but bearing much closer resemblance to a monk staffed zoo, hordes of lined up tourists centered around a small arena encompassing about twelve tigers chained to rocks.
After waiting a long, sweaty time in line with prime-time people-watching, an attendant grabbed your hand while another took your camera and guided you around to the various furry tigers. They posed you just so before snapping away and then leading you to the next tiger and so on and so forth.
I honestly felt like I was at a portrait sitting for my senior pictures; all that was missing was that studio fan to float your hair sexily in the breeze. Smile just so, crane your neck an inch more and put your hands on the tiger carcass that happens to be plopped at your feet.
We're pretty sure the tiger is still alive, but no guarantees. I saw them prodding at it with a stick every now and then just to be certain. The entire process from start to finish takes about three minutes as you're led from tiger sitting on a rock to tiger perched beneath a tree, for a little variety in the background.
I'm not sure if my new potential addition to the game, "Two Truths and a Lie" is necessarily worth the emotional trauma one endures petting lumps of drugged up tiger. But I'm making a wild bet as to not.
As far as the other thousands of tourists goes, I'll let them speak for themselves, the general consensus appeared to be overall enthusiasm about having a stellar pre-made Facebook profile pic.
Nearing the exit, and unavoidably dipping into that merchandise-filled market, I couldn't help but wonder just who bought that premium leather photo album with which to document your exotic Tiger Temple journey.
Exercising excessive amounts of self control, I refrained from purchasing the T-shirt, and bought naught the coffee mug.
However, the one thing I certainly could have benefited from purchasing; an ounce of peace of mind, I wasn't able to locate between racks of burnished postcards and garish tiger print boxers.

savile molested her and others. we contacted the bbc for comment, but they did not respond by airtime 3 rasa joined by tim gopsill, longtime reporter who is editor of the free press magazine in london. he has written that much of the criticism directed at the bbc's handling of the scandal comes from conservative media outlets in britain who want to see the network dismantled and funded. and we're joined by donald findlater, a sexual abuse spokesperson for the lucy faithful foundation in britain. lay out the jimmy savile story and the overall -- we're talking about two sex scandals bringing down the leadership of the bbc. >> i have really focused on the savile aspect of the scandal thus far. what i can say is there has been an enormous scandal. you're talking about hundreds of people coming forth. most of them women, saying a
6:18 pm
word used by him in schools and hospitals, and psychiatric facilities across the country. this is all coming to light now. >> tell us the story of the one woman that you profiled in the new york times who had been trying to come forward for decades. >> it is a really tragic story. debra said she was abused by jimmy savile at a reform school back in the 1970's and for @years, she said whenever she heard in mentioned in connection with sexual abuse, she tried calling up newspapers, tried getting her story out there and nobody wanted to speak with her. nobody was interested. i think this is somebody -- this has been extremely challenging for her to finally get her story out. >> explain what the situation was, why jimmy savile had anything to do with the school that's deborah cogger attended.
6:19 pm
>> he had these longstanding relationships with different institutions across the country, including the school called the done crossed school for girls, which was a school for troubled teenaged girls also extremely intelligent. he would, i was cigars and crummy records he got the studio. it sounds like -- what the victims are saying now, and there are several who were at the school -- that he basically had free reign of the place. >> and yet she came forward and said then what was happening, but people told her to be quiet. >> she said she was told to be quiet. she sa that other girls who were abused, even more horrifically, were shot in a room in isolation until they recanted. -- were shut in a room in isolation until they recanted. >> i want to play a clip from
6:20 pm
"exposure: the other side of jimmy savile." this is esther rantzen, coming to terms with savile's abuse. >> what i know about child abuse is it comes up to the child, the child takes responsibility and guilt. i say to these women, don't be angry with yourselves. it is the adult to blame. it is the adult world that created this mythical figure who is above criticism, who was above blame. of course, he wasn't. and i feel that we in television, in his world, in some way colluded with him as a child abuser, because i now believe that is what he was. >> that was bbc star esther rantzen. and savile's 1976 autobiography, "love is an uphill thing," he
6:21 pm
described how he and another man has spent the night naked in a caravan with a group of girls, young enough for the mothers to come looking for them. savile wrote -- i went to bring tim gopsill into the conversation, editor of the free press magazine in london, your piec. the bbc not only to the investigation of savile, but it ended up doing all these laudatory programs about him. why is a defining the bbc? >> the one half of it did not know with the other half was doing. it is a big organization. as a broadcaster, it does not just cover news and current affairs, but a whole range of things like , entertainment, trauma, game shows.
6:22 pm
it does a lot. it is a very, very big organization. the journalistic side is kept deliberately separate so it is not controlled by management, so that it does not have any lined laid down by anybody. it is kept at arm's length to guarantee it independence. while the newsnight program was preparing its exposé of savile, the other half of the bbc was going ahead with these trivia's. -- with these attributes. people are prepared [indiscernible] it looked really bad for them. the real problem was not telling the newsnight program, with the bbc did not do was run this tribute to a man who is widely known, is based in media circles, to be a terrible pedophile for years and years. >> at the time the news that investigation was axed, the bbc
6:23 pm
possible chief executive, georg@ entwistle, was in charge of all television output. late last month, he told parliament he was informed about the news that investigation in early december by helen boaden, the senior executive for news. >> helen said to me, i want to tell you the less this is the best of my recollection -- i wanted to tell you newsnight is looking into savile or investigating jimmy savile and if it comes off, if it stands up, it may have an impact on your present schedule. i said, thank you for letting me know. please, update me read what i meant by that was, on whether or not it would be going ahead. >> [indiscernible] >> know, relatively rare. >> what series destined to
6:24 pm
attach to what she said? >> i was grateful to her for giving me the heads up. but the key message i took away @ it was not yet clear to helen whether it was going to stand up or not, whether it was going to happen or not. >> that was the bbc chief executive george entwistle, who just resigned after what something like 54 days in his position. tim gopsill, your response? >> the bbc's response, unfortunately, when it comes under attack and does so quite of lot, is to go something of a panic. what they did after all the uproar of the savile programs, is a suspended the two people in charge of news of current affairs, that is stephen mitchell and helen boaden, from having any involvement in for the programs related to savile. the next thing that happened was
6:25 pm
the newsnight program tried to cover for its mistake by killing the story in the past, found another pedophile story completely separate, which is one that has been known about off the record for some years, and they ran this program not naming but otherwise identifying a man who was a former conservative politician as a pedophile himself. that story quickly fell apart when it became clear it was not true, that it was not this man at all. by the way, that was uncovered by a british newspaper. probably the reason why the proper checks on the program were not made was precisely because the people in charge of news and current affairs had been suspended from having any involvement in the savile- related programs. the checks and balances to sit here. that is why -- >> explain how it was you think -- i mean, this doesn't recent
6:26 pm
explosive -- >> mitchell was suspended pending the investigation into the savile program, suspended from having anything to do with any more programs related to savile or pedophilia. the program then made another completely different story, which was about this politician accused of pedophilia, and the proper checks were not t because they had been suspended. it got on air when it should not have been critics the way this unfolded was that the young man who was at the center of the allegations was never shown a photograph of this politician when he was, after it aired, he said, this is not the man who abused me? even worse, on top of that, the program makers did not contact the politicians themselves to even comment or tell him they were making the story. this is something -- it did
6:27 pm
happen 20 years ago, obviously, with other people. they did not even check that it would have fallen down immediately. >> i want to go back to exurbs of the bbc's panorama special that revealed how newsnight journalists but disagreed with editor peter robin's decision to ax their investigation but as peter rippon's decision to ax their investigation. this is news that producer and reporter from bbc. >> [indiscernible] asked to get more people on camera, were told to stop working the story. the story was very clear cut. it was about jimmy savile, the pedophile and abusing his position, using his status as a charity fund-raiser and his personality to gain access to places where there were hon. teenage girls who he would abuse. >> we were sure the story would
6:28 pm
come out and if it did, bbc would be accused of a cover-up. i rode an e-mail to peter saying, the story is strong enough. the danger of not running it is substantial damage to the bbc's reputation. >> that was used as a producer and reporter from bbc newsnight. lark turner, yet been researching this for quite some time read jimmy savile not only went after kids and schools are honoring him and have free rein in, but he went after people, young people within the bbc, t? >> allegedly. obviously, allegedly, he would take these girls that would go along with them the most from the school where deborah attended, then take him to his show and have them on the show so he woulthey would be in his
6:29 pm
dressing room. that is how the bbc is implicated as far as that goes. >> i want to turn to coleen nolan, an english singer and television presenter. she was also the youngest member of a girl music group in which she saying alongside her sisters. coleen met jimmy savile during a top of the pops performance in 1979 when she is just 14 years old. she is now, forcing savile invited her to his hotel room, but her sisters stopped her from going. coleen also said that sabbai was "all over her." >> eccentric uncle. i was 14 when i met jimmy savile. @he was all over me. it was a bit like, i don't think i like it. but it is funny because then i could see my sister is glaring
6:30 pm
at me. that is for family came into it. >> i want to bring donald findlater into the conversation, sexual abuse spokesperson for the lucy faith foundation in britain. your response to what is going on at the bbc right now and those who say, you know, it was a different time back then. >> i think is difficult to view these outrageous circumstances from the 1970's, 1980's with the eyes of the 1970's and 1980's. we look at them now and it is outrageous as to how savile and others got away with what they did and now so many children were abused and were not either able to say anything are believed as they did. just too many bystanders doing nothing to keep children safe. i do think things have changed a little, but i think, my experience of the last six weeks in the u.k., every day a new
6:31 pm
exposé, new angles on what has gone on. i think the -- to get value out of that sustains sort of story simply because survivors in large numbers are coming through, survivor help lines, who've not been able to or have the confidence or courage to speak up before. i run a help line in the u.k., modeled on a u.s. stop it now sex abuse prevention hot line. we have 50% increase in calls in the last six weeks, not from survivors, but from members of the public's who are noticing things going on around them or remembering sexual abuse things are worries they had about possible abuse that maybe a year ago or five years ago they noticed and they did nothing then, and they're saying, i regret i did nothing, what i do now? in terms of the public dialogue about the problem, there's a
6:32 pm
right now, i hope we start to learn some lessons -- some of those lessons ought to be the scale of the problem in the u.k., certainly in terms of sexually -- we no one in six children in the u.k. extensive sexual abuse. most politicians do not want to hear that. most members of police and social services don't want to know because there would be overwhelmed by the scale of the challenge of that kind of problem. the challenge we want to take a, a collection of charities the same, prime minister david cameron, you need to get ahold of this problem and recognize the scale of it. surely to goodness, the six weeks cannot have left unmoved. we do not want to mars children to suffer the harm that yesterday's children suffered. we know some lessons that will help keep children safe. they adjusted to be much more available. every parent's information,
6:33 pm
which they have not had in the past. we have to have the public on our side, police and social workers during their job. it has to take politicians and the public working together to get ahead of this issue and make sure future generations are safer than past generations have been. >> tim gopsill of free press, how you feel this is being used in going after the bbc, though these are extremely scandalous, what has taken place here bbc is being circled by sharks all the time because it is such a big a popular organization, there are very jealous and went to get their hands on it themselves. whenever something like this happens, you get the commercial media, both print and other broadcasting in britain,
6:34 pm
criticizing the bbc heavily because they want it weekend. they want it reduced so does that take up so much of the market. the also have a lot of support in government and parliament. the main people press, but there are other companies as well use the murdoch press, use and newspapers [indiscernible] all the time to try to weaken it. the bbc's to be much stronger in standing up to these attacks and supporters of the bbc, like ourselves, although the bbc is making terrible mistakes, is supported [indiscernible] the bbc needs more support to be better, not more attacks to make it worse. >> i want to teach you all for being with us, tim gopsill, editor of the free press magazine, lark turner, we will have a link to your piece at the new york times, writing on the
6:35 pm
bbc scandal involving jimmy savile, her latest piece is called, "complaint ignored for decades is heard at last in bbc abuse case." thank you so much to donald findlater, a section of the spokesperson for the lucy faithful foundation in britain. when we come back, a new hbo documentary on pedophilia and the catholic church. it will be joined by the oscar award winning director alex gibney. stay with us. ♪ [music break]
6:36 pm
>> this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn now from an evolving storage on sex abuse in britain, to a long-simmering case of pedophilia here in the united states that involves the catholic church. a new documentary by oscar- winning filmmaker alex gibney
6:37 pm
investigates or charismatic priest in milwaukee abused more than 200 deaf children and a catholic boarding school under his control. the young students were molested again and again by father lawrence murphy, who stalked them in their dorm rooms at night, on trips to his rural cabin, and even in the confessional booth. this is a clip from, "mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god." >> i was afraid to tell my mother because i did not think she would believe me. she would say, a priest would never do something like that to children. i kept it a secret. my mother had already been through so much pain. my brother had been electrocuted, my father had hung himself, by mother had been through so much pain and i did not want to hurt her. it was hard for me to
6:38 pm
communicate with my father, so my dad would speak and father murphy would interpret. my father never wrote back and forth because he did not know how to write well, so i depended on father murphy and the nuns to communicate with my father. >> some of the courageous deaf men who later came forward to protect other children from father murphy and demand he be held accountable. they are the heroes of, "mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god." the priest victims tried for more than 30 years to bring them to justice, but the film shows the church neither defrocked him or refer him for prosecution. it also uncovers documents from secret vatican archives that betray the pope as both responsible and helpless in the face of this abuse. for more on this incredible story of how these men stood up to the power of the catholic church, where drum of the film's director, alex gibney. his pastimes include "and ron:
6:39 pm
the smartest guys in the room," and the academy award winning, "taxi to the dark side," which focuses on an innocent taxi driver in afghanistan who was tortured and killed at bagram air force base in 2002. "mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god" opens this friday in theaters in new york and los angeles and will debut on hbo in february. it is great to have you here, alex gibney. this film opened at the london film festival as the scandal is unfolding at the bbc? >> the jimmy savile scandal. i was being asked all these questions because there were certain key similarities that had to do with how institution doesn't recognize what is going on inside of it. >> tell us about your found. >> father murphy was a priest in wisconsin who ran a school for the deaf.
6:40 pm
he raised a ton of money for the school, an expert signer a much loved in the community. his role in the committee gave him access to his victims. he was a criminal, it is fair to say, and abuse over 200 deaf children at the st. john's school for the deaf. >> how did this happen? >> these kids were under his control. it was a boarding school. very often, it happened in the confessional. but ultimately became part of the church's aborted case into this. the church itself often refers to abuse in the confessional as a kind of soul murder, because you're taking kids who are so vulnerable and using that against them. in this case, by learning things about them -- for example, he learned which kids had parents who could not sign up themselves. then he would go after them because they literally cannot
6:41 pm
communicate with their own parents and would often have to communicate through father murphy, who was the predator. >> i watched your fell last night. it is deeply moving. it is a story of courage. the descriptions of these now men, boys in the confessional, and father murphy would say, pull down your pants -- >> that's right. this guy was a predator. an absolute predator. it is haunting to see the images of these children who were so innocent, being so deeply abused by somebody in such a position of power. >> talk about how this case broke. >> the case broke only fairly recently, to some extent, because there was an article in "the new york times" talking about the lawrence murphy case,
6:42 pm
which really took place back in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. murphy himself was forced out of milwaukee because of the threat of lawsuits, but there's never a prosecution, nor was there any kind of defrocking process until very much later in the 1990's. so we know about this case kind of in reverse, in part because of the courage of these deaf men who work so hard to see if they could get him defrocked and sue the church. as a result of the lawsuit, documents were uncovered that linked this case to the vatican and the vatican's cover-up. >> let's talk about the pope. >> one of the most interesting things about pope benedict, the current pope -- and there is a lot about him in the previous pope in this film -- before he was the pope, he was carnal rap singer and ran what was called the congregation of the faith, formally known as the
6:43 pm
inquisition. after 2001, cardinal wright singer bought all sex abuse cases sent to his cases. he knows more about where all sex abuse in any human being on the planet. he then became pope. ithile he was cardinal that the case f murphy was brought to the congregation of the doctrine of the faith. interestingly enough, instead of moving quickly to defrock him, they took pity on the priest themselves who wrote a very poignant letters and, look, i am old and this was so long ago, i'm so started, please let me die as a priest. -- i'm so sorry, please let me die as a priest. that was granted by the vatican said it was no justice for the death victims. >> i want to read part of the vatican spokesperson's statement of father murphy --
6:44 pm
>> that's right. there cannot be anything more horrific in terms of the abuse that father murphy was responsible for. but the staggering thing is, what these deaf heroes want it was justice,mentally, and frankly, wanted to protect other children. so far as we know, in 1974, three of these death victims mounted a public protest. as far as we can determine, is the first public protest against clerical sex abuse in the country. they were patient zero of this story. it took them so many years to actually have their voices heard, but it is their tenacity that is such an extraordinary part of the story. >> let me ask about a critique of the film made in the catholic world report's view of your film. the author notes you lament the
6:45 pm
fact the catholic church never formally laicized or defrocked father murphy and argues -- "had the church laicized alex gibney, your response? >> i think that is the most ridiculous thing i've heard in my life. the id would i give some sort of fundamental justice and allow this guy to continue on as a priest, is a holy man who then further had access to other children -- after 1974, he was sent to boulder junction in wisconsin and prayed and other children up there. their ministerial restrictions on him, but his status as a priest continued to give him access and cover to be a
6:46 pm
predator, so to say, well, we were able to control him and protect other children is laughable in the extreme. >> you talk about the chief fund-raiser for the catholic church, for the pope. >> you are referring now to -- yes, this is a fascinating story because it involves both pope benedict as the carnal and pope john paul. one of the most terrific of users, sex abusers, was a man who ran the region of christ and raised tremendous amounts of money for the church. as a result, he was given a pass by pope john paul -- even though it was brought to his attention over and over and over again that this guy was a notorious sex abuser proved just as john paul is dying, finally, the cardinal has an opportunity to pursue the case, which it wanted to do for a long time.
6:47 pm
he sends a prosecutor to gather evidence and finds a tremendous amount of evidence, but does not continue the prosecution when he becomes pope. the sleeting that it is the institution itself that is problematic -- bess alluding that it is the institution itself that is problematic. >> this is not only a story of just horrific victimization, but of these young boys who become heroes. talk about how they take their victimization in their own hands when they get older. first of all, how do they learn from each other this is happening to other people? for example, then slapping murphy's face on hand drawn wanted posters. >> it was in the early 1970's when these kids left st. john's and got together and started hanging out with each other. ironically, ended up sort of
6:48 pm
hanging out and smoking dope and within recall things, recall memories that have been repressed. they began to get more and more angry and that -- and began to share expenses with each other, then determined they needed to do something. their motivation was to try to protect other children. they went to the police and the police did not behave well at all in this story, it should be noted, nor did -- >> what did the police do? >> in one instance, the police went back to father murphy and asked about one of these accusations of abuse he said, you cannot listen to those kids, they are retarded. >> these children were deaf. >> that was another thing. in terms of the way the church, for a long time, regarded these children, was terribly unfortunate. archbishop cousins, who was in charge in 1974 when was finally removed from in a deposition, he
6:49 pm
was asked, did you ever asked the children what had happened? he said, of course not. we did not do that. the guy in the deposition said, why not question he said, well, the children are desperate as if that was an explanation about why would not go to the victims. >> interestingly enough, the victims, the survivors, these leaflets, which in that time l'e not going to get that far doing this. what the need to do is go to the man in charge, the archbishop.of this horrible abuse, of course he will stop it. they had a meeting with archbishop cousins. two representatives of the vatican as well. they presented their case. father murphy was in the room. the archbishop, instead of acting without rage, dressed
6:50 pm
them down and criticized them for bringing the repeat to the church. after all, father murphy had done so much good, why were these kids raining on his parade? it was a rather shocking exchange described by a number of them in the room who could not believe they came forward with all his courage and work to present this terrible case to protect other children, and they were told -- we're going to protect father murphy here and not fire him because he is doing so much good. >> the beauty of this film is these men are speaking in their own voices through their own hands, but do you feel the story of the catholic church has been fully told? at the global level? the story of the catholic church and preying on young people? >> i think what has not been properly told is the cover-up.
6:51 pm
it is an ongoing global story. remarkably, the catholic church is not going to disgorge itself of documents relating to the sex abuse scandal, not only about the past, but to give us information about abusers in the present to protect other children. that story is not been told at all and that is part of what we intended to in this film. >> alex gibney, thank you for being with us for his latest film, "mea maxima culpa: silence in the house of god" is opening in new york and los angeles and will air on hbo in february. this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. when we come back, congress is back in session. stay with us. ♪ [music break]
6:52 pm
>> this is "democracy now!," democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we turn now to the national debt. as congress resumes its lame duck session today, the issue of tax cuts for the wealthiest americans has taken center stage in a political battle of the so- called fiscal cliff that could tip the country to an economic recession at the start of next year. some of the largest corporations and advocacy groups are lobbying for wide-ranging cuts in government spending, including
6:53 pm
programs like medicare, medicaid, social security. the group, which includes 80 of the country's most powerful ceo's, is called a campaign to fix the debt. it was co-founded by former clinton white house chief of staff erskine bowles, and former republican senator alan simpson. they previously co-chair the@ bipartisan after commission on fiscal response ability and reform under president obama. co-founder erskine bowles warned of the dangers of the growing national debt. >> we have today over $1 trillion a year, that are like a cancer. over time, they're gone to destroy our country from within. >> critics have accused the group of using the budget crisis to push for corporate tax cuts. the institute for policy studies in washington, d.c. is publishing a report called "the ceo campaign to 'fix' the debt: a trojan horse for massive corporate tax breaks." for more, we're joined by sarah anderson.
6:54 pm
welcome. what is happening today in washington, d.c.? >> what people and not talking about the pledge while people are not talking about the sex life of general petraeus, they're talking about the budget showdown. one of the debate is called the campaign "fix the debt." a dco's from america's art as corporations. they're doing a major blitz, to train themselves as the reasonable ones because they're caor both raising revenues and cutting spending. if you look at the details of their tax plan, you see they're really just the trojan horse. they're pushing for the same old tax breaks for corporations they have been doing so for about a decade. we looked at one of them, which is they want a permanent exemption from u.s. taxes for all of their foreign earnings. it calculated the companies in this campaign stand to gain a windfall of as much as $134 billion if they get this
6:55 pm
corporate tax breaks through. people should be very wary of the big ad campaign about -- there are about to see in their newspapers across the country. this is just one more corporate attack on our taxation system. >> who are these ceo's? >> many household names -- honeywell, boeing, general electric. we have been documenting that many are serial tax dodgers are ready. they have been using shenanigans to shift overseas to lower their tax bill. we found that in 24 of these companies, they actually pay their ceo more last year than they paid to uncle sam. they have been lowering their tax bills already and want to continue doing that. they're taking it a band of the so-called fiscal cliff crisis to push that ahead.
6:56 pm
>> i want to turn to recent comments made by john boehner who argued against any tax hikes as part of the deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. >> instead of raising tax rates on the american people, the damage it would do to our economy, let's start to solve the problem. this focus on tax reform, close special interest loopholes, and lower tax rates. instead of accepting arbitrary cuts that will endanger our national defense, let's get serious about shoring up the entitlement programs that are the primary drivers of our country's massive growing debt. >> sarah anderson, your response? >> it is crazy to be talking about, as he said, shoring up in time of programs. that is just washington speak for reducing the cost of these programs and limiting access. to think we need to shift the burden onto the backs of the poor and elderly is crazy, when we are in one of the richest countries -- the richest country in the world. our problem is our resources have been misallocated.
6:57 pm
the approach to the debt should be to look at the ways that we could raise revenue through fair taxation, including tax and financial transactions, which could bring in wall street. no. 2, environmental reforms like cutting fossil fuel subsidies and using carbon taxes. three, cutting military spending, especially all of these military bases we have around the world that are obsolete. that kind of combination could raise trillions of dollars over the next decade. that is how we should be addressing the debt, not through these tax shenanigans that are just about giving more breaks to corporations and the wealthy, and cuts to social security and medicare. >> the organizing going on around -- for example, just the word "entitlements" that is used, it has become t describing medicare, social security. your thoughts? >> i have learned to call them earned benefit programs instead. these are programs american workers are paying into over
6:58 pm
their lives. they have a right to that money, to have these basic social programs that have paid as a much stronger society with a stronger middle class. and to think that people are trying to use this situation to cut into those earned benefit programs, is just nuts. when there are some in other places we can get the revenue needed to deal with the situation and also to shift our economy in a way that makes it more equitable, green, and secure. >> sarah anderson, we will continue this conversation. thank you for being with us.
