Hi Atty. Ballentine,
Why can't Bush be impeached? Can someone help me with this question? What do we as citizens and voters need to do to impeach this man?

Hello Mr Ballentine,
I think you should reach out to Dr. Claude Anderson, the Founder and President of the Harvest Institute, Washington D.C. He has some great ideas for the improvement of the Black community. He stated in one of his commenteries that he wants to work with an Attorny such as yourself. I believe he is the author of Black Labor/White Wealth and Dirty Little Secrets.
There is one white man by the name of Alan Watt the reveals the cause behind the effect of our current situation. He strips the enemy totaly naked on his web site www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com.
My solution to our present condition is to practice solidarity and a spiritual repatriation to Africa. I agree with the NOI system of religion and dicipline. For those of us that do not agree with the NOI you can adopt the Coptic Ethiopian Christian faith. Like the Raggae artist said - a white mans god cannot save you from the white mans oppresion. Ethiopia was the first major Christian Nation besides Armenia which was an ethnic Egyptian colony by the Black Sea. Mohammads first mosque was also in Ethiopia in modern day Euteria. There were also Islamic and Coptic rulers of Ethiopia who were related. The history of The Honorable Marcus Garvey and Noble Drew Ali of the Moorish Science Temple should be studied. Books by A.J. Rogers were also good reads.
I am with you 100% on 11/02.

Warren, I listen all the time and I respect your leadership. What I would ask is that you create a site to display all black businesses prior to the black out and then have people to support those businesses on that day. I also heard that people were proposing that any money that was going to spent on that day be sent to the Jena 6 defense fund. That too, is a great idea. I just don't want to see black businesses suffer in the fight for justice.

If they will implement a law concerning the baggy pants, THEN they have to implement a law on "gothic" apparel. This same apparel was worn by both school shooting committed by white children.
This law like you said gives them the power find "racist" reasons to snare us, after all, who are they building the jails for?
They want our civil liberties by any means necessary.

I found the following wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_(XM) that made reference to Radio One cancelling all Syndication One programming starting December 31, 2007. I found the reference link, and the corresponding article was kind of vague. But, I was wondering if there was any validity to this. The Power 169 has gone through a lot of changes lately with the removal of past talk show hosts. I would hate to see some of the current hosts be removed from the airwaves. Thanks in advance for any information that can be provided at this point.
P.S. I hope that a response can be emailed to me because I am not always able to listen to the show since I'm at work at that time.

I have created free BLACK OUT images for anyone to use in support of the movement. I also did artwork for the Jena 6 last month. It was seen from CNN to The Dr. Phil show. The Black Out images should be available within 24 ours on www.photobucket.com or www.flickr.com. Here are the direct links.

Hello Warren ... I am so proud of your efforts and support your work for our community. I support you as a truth fighter. Additionally, I was very pleased to hear you, Rev. Sharpton and Michael Baisden talk on air together yesterday. I believe the only way we can win this battle is if we all come together.
In that spirit, I have an idea that may have been expressed before and if so, then I'd like to revisit it. I'll start by saying that I am a strong supporter of Black owned business. As such, I'd like to get your feedback on starting a "sustained Blackout" if you will, that will shift our dollars back to the Black community as a "next step" to the already scheduled Blackouts. I noticed on your homepage that you mention Radio One is traded on the stock exchange (NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA). For those of us who invest in the stock market either personally or through our 401K programs, this represents just one way to reinvest and support ourselves. Let us invest our money in those business ventures that invest (positively) in us. Radio One is just one example. Black Enterprise Magazine reports monthly on successful Blacks in business and successful Black-owned businesses. If we spend an estimated $630 billion annually, then imagine how empowering shifting even 1/2 of that back to the Black community would be.
Perhaps this blog could also serve as a repository for a state by state listing of Black owned businesses who support this cause.
I realize that initially, this may not be easy, but I think that venues such as yours, Al Sharpton, Michael Baisden, Tom Joyner and other Black media outlets can do a great deal in facilitating this move. After all, we must face the fact that if our movement were easy, it wouldn't be called "the struggle."
I look forward to your feedback.

Hello Mr Ballentine,
I am certainly honoring the "Black Out". Please take note: that Denzell Washington's new movie comes out on "November 2nd". Please mention that fact. Not going to the show will have a larger impact.

- Jena said...
Warren ... There were two things that I forgot to mention in my previous message. That is that my "sustained Blackout" includes supporting our Black colleges. That means parents, send your kids to our historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). I represent the third generation of graduates from a Black college and my parents spent their entire careers teaching at Black colleges. HBCUs have produced some of our greatest Black minds and talents and I believe that given the opportunity, will continue to do the same. Warren, you are one such example of the high character and caliber of person our HBCUs have placed in this world.
Lastly, the ideas I've mentioned in these two messages requires action on the part of not only the Black consumer base, but also Black businesses and HBCUs. That action is that you treat us with respect when we enter your businesses and college corridors and college administrative offices. So many times, I have entered a Black owned business where I was treated so badly, that I never came back. Keep in mind that I have also been treated badly in white owned businesses too. I did not go back to them either. My point is Black businesses, treat us like you want and appreciate our business and not like we owe you our business and you are doing us a favor.
The same holds true for Black colleges. Please improve your business practices and living environments so that our young people know that they are in loving, safe, clean learning environments and parents teach your young ones that they are required to do their BEST in school (not just enough to get by) and that they must respect, take care of and show pride in our HBCUs. I believe HBCUs should be our FIRST choice and not our last resort when all else fails.

I am new to Atlanta and so happy to hear you on the air. I have always been a truth fighter but you have given me a voice to move for justice. I thank you. You are blessed by OUR FATHER to do his work and open our eyes to understand that we must fight for our right to be treated as humans. I get emotional when I hear you speak on our behalf and be so passionate about this war WE are about to embark upon. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING. GOD will see all of us through this fight. I am all in on Nov. 2 Let no one steal your thunder and ignore the naysayers out there. I feel you have more for you than against.

O Ye of little faith
Warren I got love for you Brother please believe that, but your comment the other day, made me question your faith in God or worse yet our people. You said you weren't going to call for a boycott of Christmas shopping because you didn't think enough people wouldn't support it.
But I'm telling you now if God brings you to it he'll bring you through it, no one thought the bus boycott would last for as long as it did but it did when people are sick and tired of what's going on they'll do anything to bring some relief short of bleeding cause we all know that Black people are scared to bleed Malcolm X was prophetic with that verse.
You need to instill in the people that November 2nd-4 is just a test run or dress rehearsal for the real thing if we want to effect this economy we have to hit the Christmas spending cause that's when the retailers make up all of their profit. I believe that there are enough people who have the discipline, courage and wherewith all to not shop during the Christmas holiday to effect change.
I know your a Christian as am I but have you reached out to Minister Farrakan for his support agreeing to make concessions for the Muslim's to by from their own store's if the need to but we all know they have more discipline than most if called upon. Cause we need everyone in on this to make it successful so you have awhile to start ringing the bell that the boycott for Christmas is on.
I know that the outcome of this action will be successful Like the movement of the sixties were but to truly change the policies of America for ever it's gonna take a revolution, or military action that's really the only thing that Europeans understand ask Suddam Hussien or the Japanese why do you think your president doesn't want Iran to have nuclear capabilities, cause then we can't bully the middle east anymore.
And he's afraid of karma knowing that where the only country to drop a nuclear bomb on someone. I'm couple years older than you I'm the same age as Mr. Baisden and am fascinated with world history especially american history and being a veteran and currently serving in the reserves, so I have some insight on how this country views military might. Ask the Haitians what it took to expel the french and America from there land it took blood for them to win there independence. So while economics will have some effects to start the ball rolling to have lasting change were going to have to bleed for it, I'm already on ready set waiting for the rest of my brothers and sister's to say go.
Sincerely the Soldier truth fighter,
A. Vaughn

Hi Mr. Ballentine,
I was listening to your show today and you made a comment, "to be a good christian is to be a good muslim and to be a good muslim you have to be good christian". well my problem isn't with that my problem is the statement made after that when you said that muslims don't believe in Jesus, i have to correct you on this statement. It is by far one of the most terrible misconceptions that most people have about muslims. The Quran even speaks of Jesus and his miraculous birth. so could you please make the correction on air. We as muslims definitely don't need anymore negativity thrown our way. thank you, Aminah from Atlanta,Ga.

Hello Warren, as the scales of justice are not in our favor, we as people of color should generate a fund for our brothers and sisters that sit in jails, and wait for these biased public defenders who dont give a damn about us .we need more of you, that are willing to represent pro bono. Foundations can be established spicifically for this purpose. We need to stop stealing donated funds and direct what we collect to the right place.

Hi Warren,
I too heard about the UUC "The Uniform Commercial Code". I found a ton of information about it and other concepts at http://freedom-school.com
It appears to be about the theory of "seperation of church and state"
I would appreciate your response by email given that I can not hear your program every day.

Recently I have been trying to rally people on myspace to take a stand in the Movement- under one name or another they all serve the purpose of stomping out injustice and building equal justice... I even composed a song- and yet it seems like people are just too blah and stupid even to 'disagree'- well you have a truthfighter here in the tradition of funk, rock, and hip hop- all wrapped up in a rally cry called "The Noose" myspace.com/stlokhan... Blackout ready on November 2nd for as long as it takes!
Excerpt from by site:
Join the Anti-Noose Movement! Legislation is necessary to make hanging a noose a hate crime- equal to burning a cross in the name of white power- or simply ni**er get out! We need to stop this seemingly simple snowball from leading to all the chaos it has revived like a monster we thought we put to sleep, underground years ago! RACISM has reared its ugly head like Medusa on steroids within the last year and its time to give that disgusting diseased- maggot-brained system of pain a swift kick in the ass! through legislation, which will move law enforcement to protect versus prey on our citizens of color, and let the devils who kill, rape, and abuse the innocent- KNOW that they will be dealt with by any means necessary and face federal law... but if the federal law does not reflect civil rights how will we ever be able to enforce human rights?! "We won't let the noose tighten around our necks!" Support the Blackout! Boycott on November 2nd and the timeless battle freedom fighters will continue to engage in until racial inequality and injustice are left behind- IN A HISTORY BOOK!

FEMA - The Dark Under-belly
by Bob Worn
Reposted from The Konformist Newswire
Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the hundreds of billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, more power than "the people", it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution.
Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. It is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency. These organizations are subject to the control of Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations.
FEMA had one original concept when it was created, to ensure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also provided with the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Its awesome powers grew under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas.
Though it may be the most powerful organization in the United States, few people know it even exists. FEMA has crept into our private lives. Even mortgage papers contain FEMA's name in small print if the property in question is near a flood plain. FEMA was deeply involved in the Los Angeles riots and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of the black helicopter traffic reported throughout the United States, but mainly in the West, California, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado, are flown by FEMA personnel. FEMA has been given responsibility for many new disasters including urban forest fires, home heating emergencies, refugee situations, urban riots, and emergency planning for nuclear and toxic incidents. In the West, it works in conjunction with the Sixth Army.
FEMA was created in a series of Executive Orders. A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Register. Congress is by-passed if they choose not to contest it within 60 days.
Executive Order Number 12148 created the Federal Emergency Management Agency that is to interface with the Department of Defense for civil defense planning and funding. An "emergency czar" was appointed. FEMA had spent only about 6 percent of its budget on national emergencies while the bulk of their funding had been used for the construction of secret underground facilities to ensure continuity of government in case of a major emergency, foreign or domestic.
Executive Order Number 12656 appointed the National Security Council as the principal body that should consider emergency powers. This allows the government to increase domestic intelligence and surveillance of U.S. citizens and would restrict the freedom of movement within the United States and grant the government the right to isolate large groups of civilians. The National Guard could be federalized to seal all borders and take control of U.S. air space and all ports of entry.
Here are just a few Executive Orders associated with FEMA that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 ( 27 F.R. 1527 ) allows Secretary of Transportation to take over ALL modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports. It also gives the Secretary of Commerce full control of the production and distribution of ALL construction materials, gas, oil, and power as well as ALL civilian, private aviation facilities, highways and seaports.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 ( 27 F.R. 1519 ) allows the government to seize and control the communication media. It establishes the Telecommunications Management Agency that provides for the "takeover" of ALL communications media in the United States. This includes broadcast and cable television, ALL radio stations, ALL satellite earth stations and satellites and ALL telephone companies and telephone systems in the United States.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 ( 27 F.R. 1522 ) allows the government to take over ALL electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals. In other words, ALL sources of energy.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 ( 27 F.R. 1524 ) allows the Secretary of Agriculture to take over ALL food resources and farms and farm equipment. This means that all privately owned farmland and food resources will be commandeered by the Federal Government, together with all farm implements and equipment used to work this land. ALL will become the properety of the Federal Government.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 ( 27 F.R. 1532 ) allows the Secretary of Labor to "mobilize" civilians into work brigades under government supervision. That's right, every working American will be under the direct supervision of the Federal Government. Where you work now or want to work in the future is not a consideration. You will be required to work where you are told to work. Have you ever considered the term "slave labor"?
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 ( 27 F.R. 1534 ) allows the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare to control ALL health services, doctors, hospitals, etc., ALL welfare services and All educational programs and facilities, public and private.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 ( 27 F.R. 1539 ) designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of ALL persons in the United States. This will account for every American, his or her location and "status".
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 ( 27 F.R. 1540 ) empowers the Federal Aviation Administration to take over ALL airports and commandeer ALL aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 ( 27 F.R. 1542 ) establishes the authority for the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to take control of ALL housing, lodging and community facilities in the United States. This means the relocation, to a place of the government's choosing, of any part of the population they choose to move. In other words, it doesn't matter where you live now or what property you own, it will become the property of the government and THE GOVERNMENT WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO LIVE. It will relocate entire communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 ( 27 F.R. 1544 ) empowers the Interstate Commerce Commission to take over ALL railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 ( 27 F.R. 1688 ) specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international or domestic tensions and economic or financial crisis.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 ( 32 F.R. 12877 ) directs the Department of Justice (Janet Reno?) to enforce the plans set out in All Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate ALL penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
EXECUTIVE ORDER 11490 ( 34 F.R. 17567 ) authored by Richard Nixon consolidates all previous Executive Orders into one act of law. It also gave the Department of Justice the power to control "alien enemies" and all "other aliens" and to provide for their location, relocation, restraint and/or custody. It also provides the power to seize ALL property of the alien enemies and "other aliens". No definition of terms was given to know who "alien enemies" or "other aliens" are. It is left to the discretion of the Department of Justice, i.e. Janet Reno! It allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of ALL energy sources, wages, salaries, credit and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It makes mandatory the confiscation and control of ALL monetary items and the entire financial structure and assets of the United States of America, public, private and institutional by the Secretary of the Treasury. It also provides that when a state of emergency is declared by the President, Congress cannot review the action for six months.
And last but not least, on 20 July 1979 "You Can Trust Me" President Jimmy Carter authored Executive Order 12148 ( 44 F.R. 43239 ) which completes the plan for the COMPLETE DICTATORSHIP RULE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. In this E.O. President Carter places the powers previously given to separate agencies or departments/administrations under the SOLE CONTROL of FEMA - the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He also "handed off" to FEMA many powers previously held ONLY BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA such as FULL CONTROL OF THE MILITARY FORCES. Yes, FEMA can now assume the powers and duties of the President, in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America. All that is needed to implement these controls is the declaration of a national emergency by any President. Neither Congress, previous Presidents nor the courts have ever rendered a definition of a "National Emergency"!
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has broad powers in every aspect of the nation. General Frank Salzedo, chief of FEMA's Civil Security Division stated in a 1983 conference that he saw FEMA's role as a "new frontier in the protection of individual and governmental leaders from assassination, and of civil and military installations from sabotage and/or attack, as well as prevention of dissident groups from gaining access to U.S. opinion, or a global audience in times of crisis."
FEMA's powers were consolidated by President Carter to incorporate:
the National Security Act of 1947, which allows for the strategic relocation of industries, services, government and other essential economic activities, and to rationalize the requirements for manpower, resources and production facilities;
the 1950 Defense Production Act, which gives the President sweeping powers over all aspects of the economy;
the Act of August 29, 1916, which authorizes the Secretary of the Army, in time of war, to take possession of any transportation system for transporting troops, material, or any other purpose related to the emergency; and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which enables the President to seize the property of a foreign country or national.
These powers were transferred to FEMA in a sweeping consolidation in 1979.
FEMA's deceptive role really did not come to light with much of the public until Hurricane Andrew smashed into the U.S. mainland. As Russell R. Dynes, director of the Disaster Research Center of the University of Delaware, wrote in The World and I, "...The eye of the political storm hovered over the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA became a convenient target for criticism." Because FEMA was accused of dropping the ball in Florida, the media and Congress commenced to study this agency. What came out of the critical look was that FEMA was spending 12 times more for "black operations" than for disaster relief. It spent $4.3 billion building secret bunkers throughout the United States in anticipation of government disruption by foreign or domestic upheaval. Fewer than 20 members of Congress, only members with top security clearance, know of the $4.3 billion expenditure by FEMA for non-natural disaster situations. These few Congressional leaders state that FEMA has a "black curtain" around its operations. FEMA had worked on National Security programs since 1979, and its pre-decessor, the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, had secretly spent billions of dollars before being merged into FEMA by President Carter in 1979.
FEMA has developed 300 sophisticated mobile units that are capable of sustaining themselves for a month. The vehicles are located in five areas of the United States. They have tremendous communication systems and each contains a generator that would provide power to 120 homes each, but have never been used for disaster relief.
FEMA's enormous powers can be triggered easily. In any form of domestic or foreign problem, perceived and not always actual, emergency powers can be enacted. The President of the United States now has broader powers to declare martial law, which activates FEMA's extra-ordinary powers. Martial law can be declared during time of increased tension overseas, economic problems within the United States, such as a depression, civil unrest, demonstrations or scenes like the Los Angeles riots, and in a drug crisis. These Presidential powers have increased with successive Crime Bills, particularly the 1991 and 1993 Crime Bills, which increase the power to suspend the rights guaranteed under the Constitution and to seize property from those suspected of being drug dealers and individuals who participate in a public protest or demonstration. Under emergency plans already in existence, the power exists to suspend the Constitution and turn over the reigns of government to FEMA and appointing military commanders to run state and local governments. FEMA then would have the right to order the detention of anyone whom there is reasonable ground to believe...will engage in, or probably conspire with others to engage in acts of espionage or sabotage. The plan also authorized the establishment of concentration camps for detaining the accused, but no trial.
Three times since 1984, FEMA stood on the threshold of taking control of the nation, once under President Reagan in 1984, and twice under President Bush in 1990 and 1992. Under those three scenarios, there was not a sufficient crisis to warrant risking martial law. Most experts on the subject of FEMA and Martial Law insisted that a crisis has to appear dangerous enough for the people of the United States before they would tolerate or accept complete government takeover. The typical crisis needed would be threat of imminent nuclear war, rioting in several U.S. cities simultaneously ala South Central Los Angeles and any other city, a series of national disasters that affect widespread danger to the populous, massive terrorist attacks, a depression in which tens of millions are unemployed and without financial resources, or a major environmental disaster. [COMMENT - VC: How about Y2K?]
In April 1984, President Reagan signed Presidential Directive Number 54 that allowed FEMA to engage in a secret national "readiness exercise" under the code name of REX 84. The exercise was to test FEMA's readiness to assume military authority in the event of a "State of Domestic National Emergency" concurrent with the launching of a direct United States military operation in Central America. The plan called for the deputation of U.S. military and National Guard units so that they could legally be used for domestic law enforcement. These units would be assigned to conduct sweeps and take into custody an estimated 400,000 undocumented Central American immigrants in the United States. The immigrants would be interned at 10 detention centers to be set up at military bases and other detention centers throughout the country.
REX 84 was so highly guarded that special metal security doors were placed on the fifth floor of the FEMA building in Washington, D.C. Even long-standing employees of the Civil Defense team of the Federal Executive Department possessing the highest possible security clearances were not being allowed through the newly installed metal security doors. Only personnel wearing a special red Christian cross or crucifrx lapel pin were allowed into the premises. Lt. Col. North was responsible for drawing up the emergency plan, which U.S. Attorney General William French Smith opposed vehemently. The plan called for the suspension of the Constitution, turning control of the government over to FEMA, appointment of military commanders to run state and local governments and the declaration of Martial Law. The Presidential Executive Orders to support such a plan were already in place. The plan also advocated the rounding up and transfer to "assembly centers or relocation camps" of at least 21 million American Negroes in the event of massive rioting or disorder, not unlike the rounding up of the Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
The second known time that FEMA stood by was in 1990 when Desert Storm was enacted. Prior to President Bush's invasion of Iraq, FEMA began to draft new legislation to increase its already formidable powers. One of the elements incorporated into the plan was to set up operations within any state or locality without the prior permission of local or state authorities. Such prior permission has always been required in the past. Much of the mechanism being set into place was in anticipation of the economic collapse of the Western World. The war with Iraq may have been conceived as a ploy to boost the bankrupt economy, but it only pushed the West into deeper recession. Please remember that a deep recession or all-out depression would be a cause for declaring martial law. Think of what the stock market is doing and the upcoming crash.
The third scenario for FEMA came with the Los Angeles riots after the Rodney King brutality verdict. Had the rioting spread to other cities, FEMA would have been empowered to act. As it was, major rioting only occurred in the Los Angeles area, thus preventing a pretext for a FEMA response.
On July 5, 1987, the Miami Herald published reports on FEMA's new goals. The goal was to suspend the Constitution in the event of a national crisis, such as nuclear war, violent and widespread internal dissent, or national opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad. Lt. Col. North was the architect. National Security Directive Number 52 issued in August 1982, pertains to the "Use of National Guard Troops to Quell Disturbances."
The crux of the problem is that FEMA has the power to turn the United States into a police state in time of a real crisis or a manufactured crisis. Lt. Col. North virtually established the apparatus for dictatorship. Only the criticism of the Attorney General prevented the plans from being adopted. Intelligence reports indicate that FEMA has a folder with 22 Executive Orders for the President to sign in case of an emergency. It is believed those Executive Orders contain the framework of North's concepts, delayed by criticism but never truly abandoned.
The crisis, as the government now sees it, is civil unrest. For generations, the government was concerned with nuclear war, but the violent and disruptive demonstrations that surrounded the Vietnam War era prompted President Nixon to change the direction of emergency powers from war time to times of domestic unrest. Diana Reynolds, program director of the Edward R. Murrow Center, summed up the dangers of FEMA today and the public reaction to Martial Law in a drug crisis:
"It was James Madison's worst nightmare that a righteous faction would someday be strong enough to sweep away the Constitutional restraints designed by the framers to prevent the tyranny of centralized power, excessive privilege, an arbitrary governmental authority over the individual. These restraints, the balancing and checking of powers among branches and layers of government, and the civil guarantees, would be the first casualties in a drug-induced national security state with Reagan's Civil Emergency Preparedness unleashed. Nevertheless, there would be those who would welcome NSC (National Security Council) into the drug fray, believing that increasing state police powers to emergency levels is the only way left to fight American's enemy within. In the short run a national security state would probably be a relief to those whose personal security and quality of life has been diminished by drugs or drug related crime. And, as the general public watches the progression of institutional chaos and social decay, they too may be willing to pay the ultimate price, one drug free America for 200 years of a free and dynamic republic. God forbid!"
The first targets in any FEMA emergency would be the Hispanics and the blacks. FEMA's orders call for them to be rounded up and detained. Tax protesters, demonstrators against government military intervention outside U.S. borders, those who are ever vocal to point out the shortcomings of the government or the present administration and the grossly apparent usurpations of the citizens' rights by that government and people who maintain weapons in their homes are also targets. Operation Trojan Horse is a program designed to learn the identity of potential opponents to martial law. The operation set up by the FBI at Burke, South Dakota (The Tri-State Militia) is an outstanding example of a Trojan Horse. The program lures potential protesters into public forums, conducted by a leader of the people who advocates readiness and survival training. The list of names gathered at such meetings and rallies are computerized and then targeted in case of an emergency. Just a short time ago, the news broke of a highly sophisticated Top Secret computer system in the White House called WHO DB. It is reported that this data base contains over 200,000 persons. It tracks such things as whether the subject supports or opposes issues such as same sex marriages, gays in the military and whether the subject speaks out against the administration. Yes, patriots will be targeted!
The most shining example of America to the world has been its peaceful transition of government from one administration to another. Despite crises of great magnitude, the United States has maintained its freedom and liberty. This nation now stands on the threshold of rule by non-elected people asserting non-Constitutional powers. Even Congress cannot review a Martial Law action until six months after it has been declared. For the first time in American history, the reigns of government would not be transferred from one elected element to another. The Constitution of the United States will be "suspended". The same Constitution that many of us swore to "support and defend against all enemies, foreign or DOMESTIC".
Dear God, where are my comrades, why do they not rally?!
The scenarios established to trigger FEMA into action are generally found in the society of today; economic collapse, civil unrest, drug problems, terrorist attacks, distrust of the government by a majority of the people, protests against American intervention in a foreign country. With all of these premises existing, it could only be a matter of time until one of these triggers the entire emergency necessary to bring FEMA into action, and then it may be too late, because under the FEMA plan, there is no contingency by which Constitutional power is restored.

Hello Attorney Ballentine,
I wanted to drop a line to say that I appreciate everything that you are doing to help protect our young people. We, in the Black community must now stop the complacentcy because these White racists are snatching our children out of the schools to institutionalize them into their penal systems. I am worried about our young Black folk, especially our males. We have a Jena situation here in Columbus Ohio. Our incident involves 11 children, ages 11-17 and these children have been held by the juvenile authorities for over 3 weeks now. Attorney Byron Potts is the lead attorney, whom took on this case pro-bono. Maybe you can contact him about the details. What I do realize is that we all must work together. Our children have been and are now more than ever being agressively attacked. It is our job to protect them. I am also informing as many people as I can about the Nov 2 Blackout. I think though that you might want to consider contacting Tom Joyner to assist you in getting the word out. He has a large listening audience here.
I myself had heard of you, but did not know how to contact you until a friend from BlackPlanet informed me. I have also contacted some orgainizations here as to what we are going to do about the Columbus 11, but they have not developed a strategy yet. They are asking that the community attend a city counsil meeting Nov 6 to address this issue. In the meantime, these children are locked up in the juvenile system. Law enforcement is off the hook up here. Please let me know what can be done to assist you. I am also trying to reach Tom Joyner to let him know about the Blackout. He may already know.
I did contact someone named John Gregory of Teach Enterprises whom is involved in the Columbus 11 situation. He stated they may be having a press conference. As in Jena, very few people are aware of the incidents surrounding the Columbus 11. I am waiting for Attorney Potts to return my call because I do not understand, how can the law just keep these kids on lockdown? Where is the due process? I think it would be a good idea that if you attorneys and the DJs got together and held some type of symposium to educate our community about the rights of an individual when confronted with law enforcement. It appears to me that the law is doing what it wants to do, regardless of whether it is legal or not. Peace be with you Brother and please feel free to contact me if you should ever need any assistance. I will try to keep you informed about the Columbus 11.

Good Day Mr Ballentine,
I use to listen to you in Miami, but now, WTPS has another program on. Are you aware of this? Do you know of another station that air your program in South Florida?
Please let us know, we miss your valuable information.

Atty. Ballentine,
We have bigger issues than injustice on Black American people in our country.
More importantly, there are more problems within the black communities we have to take care of before reaching out to other sectors. Most of our young generation is uneducated, more fault of there own than of anyone else. Education is provide at all levels, but it is up to the parents to stress how important education mean to survival. We must provide guidance to the youth because so many of them do not understand what's going on.
As we look at many of the problems with our youth, most these problems could have been avoided if people were educated enough to know how to handle these type situations. I know you have heard the term "It takes a bigger man to walk away". The reason to walk away is not to sweep it under the rug, but to avoid ignorance and not allow yourself to be part of the problem, but to find a reasonable solution. As we embark on our journey, I would hope the youth truly understand that this is not about black and white, but about equality for all.

people need to cut out this racial bickering. it's the fucking 21st century. there's no wave of racism in the US, just small, unrelated incidents by such a minute percentage. people want the federal government to do something about this? and because they aren't, people are going to boycott businesses on 11/2? seriously, this makes no sense.
and also, the jena 6 incident should not be compared to REAL racial struggles that happened back when there was real racism. 6 kids beat the shit out of someone, almost to death. they should NOT be honored or considered heroes.

Have you had enough of petitions, rallies, and protests that have not worked? The Republiklan party and their klanservative members appears insulated from the public and unresponsive to the public. However their contributors do not appear insulated from the public and can collapse under pressure to a withering telephone campaign threatening mass boycotts of their products until they get their friends at the GOP to do what we want.
Would you and your organization consider joining these telephone campaigns and spreading the word to your membership, and fellow progressive groups? I have created these campaigns to peacefully take back America. After you have made these phone calls please send me email to email@example.com with the subject CALLED.
Thank you.
Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.
Call GOP contributor Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer universal health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, you won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.
Call GOP contributor Wendy's restaurants at 614 764-3553 and Tell the person in public relations that you want their CEO to get the GOP to help enact a $10/HR MIN. WAGE into law and until this happens you will not go to a Wendy's Restaurant.
I set up a progressives forum for progressives and liberals
only. Get as many progressives and liberals to join as you
I do not seek donations. You can use the board for free and no
I'm not telling you to stop using this board. Use both.

Thanks Ballentine.
Finally, someone takes a serious stand fighting for American children. I believe you are not discriminating and fight for them all. Thanks for that.
As you said:
"If the federal government is not doing what it's supposed to do, we protest. There's nothing more American than what I'm calling for."
"President Bush's request for $196 billion in war spending and his veto of a children's health insurance bill."
This is good news. Children get support form you that knows best how civil rights are worth fighting for.
As Graeme Frost said: "I just hope the President will listen to my story and help other kids to be as lucky as me." He was thinking of all children of America as well. Let's stay together in this union for our future.
I just made Graeme Frost a person to be reviewed for the Rafto Prize ( http://www.rafto.no/ ) by recommending him to the Rafto Committee.
The leader of the committee replayed that my request will be considered.
Do you know any American people who could give good arguments for a prize to him? The best would be research centre, Noble Peace Prize winners or other people the Rafto
Foundation would listen to.
Rafto laureates are selected on the following criteria:
1) A recipient should be an active participant in the struggle for the ideals and principles underlying the Human Rights Charter, or be an embodying symbol of these.
2) A recipient may be a person or an organisation, and two or more recipients may share the prize.
Recipients are selected and each year's prize amount determined by the Board.
Remember the prize has been given to four people that became Noble Price winners.
I believe Graeme Frost is a Human Right Activist fighting for the most basic human right of one of the most important groups in the world - our children. He is both an active participant and a symbol of the struggle and pelong to the group. I do not think we can ask too much of independent active involvement from this group for natural reasons.
I believe such a prize should be given to a person that are part of the group he fights for. Furthermore, giving the prize to an American can have a rapid impact for many kids in America. America is also a ideal for many poor people and countries, and this will therefore have a great impact on the world.
As you know:
The UN Children's Rights states that:
EVERY child and young person under 18 has rights and responsibilities. They're protected by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It's been signed by every country in the world, except the USA and Somalia ( http://www.unicef.org.uk/youthvoice/pdfs/uncrc.pdf ). Article 6 (Survival and development): Children have the right to live. Governments should ensure that children survive and develop healthily.http://www.unicef.org/crc/files/Rights_overview.pdf
Seldom in our western world do people stand up against their government and in a clear voice express the wrongdoings of our societies. Even more rarely do they get punished for what they believe, and triedd brought to silence by government where they live. But it happens, and it happens still in 2007. Why does it happen, and way does it happen in the United States of America - the land of the free, and one of the richest countries in the world?
In 1963 the words "I have a dream …", and in 2007 the words " … I just hope …" gave such reactions in the United States of America. Both were expressions by fighters for suppressed minorities achieving what they believed in, and both were examples of a dark side of how some in the American government tackles people they do not support.
The first quote is from Martin Luther King Junior fighting for the civil rights of African Americans. We all know from our history how he later got his Nobel Pease Prize, but was sadly taken away by a fellow American citizen. Perhaps the killer was influenced by his contemporary lack of understanding.
The second is from 12 years old Graeme Frost fighting for the human rights of poor children in America. Graeme said "… if it weren't for CHIP, I might not be here today. … We got the help we needed because we had health insurance for us through the CHIP program. But there are millions of kids out there who don't have CHIP, and they wouldn't get the care that my sister and I did if they got hurt. … I just hope the President will listen to my story and help other kids to be as lucky as me."
This was too much for American politicians. They felt it was appropriate to spread lies to stop "this enemy of the decider." "I just hope" Graeme will be treated with the respect he deserves.
I also hope he will beat Martin Luther King Junior and become the youngest ever to receive the Nobel Peace Price or the Rafto Prize. I believe Martin Luther King Junior would have liked that as well - if he were still among us.

I hope that the boycott strategy continues, but it must be targeted to specific corporations and organizations. The press on this was poor, I only saw one spot on CNN. Education about our collective wealth and the fact that we do not get our money's worth in our K-12 school and city services are under par. While more money is spent to surveillance and arrest instead of protect and serve. This is a tool we can use but we must plan like the Montgomery, Alabama in 1945.

america ????
i have a simple question.....but first, let me say that i am a listener, and it troubles me to know that "most" of the subjects discussed have a spin that still blames all of black americas problems on the white race....i will be the first to admit that racism still exists in this great country and it will probably be so for about the next 50 years or so, maybe longer...but when caucasians are no longer the majority in this country or no longer the power brokers, who will black america blame then ? are we fighting for the wrong thing in black america ? first look at all the crime and violence of blacks against other blacks all over this country, the 50 percent drop out rate of black kids in high school, the 4 to 1 ratio of black males in prison ,probation or parole to black males in college, the fact that black people, black senior citizens, and black women and children are the only race or group of people in america that cannot live in peace in their own communities,because of the fear of being victimized by criminals and thugs who share their same skin pigment...what about the fact that as black people we are 92% more likely to be robbed, burglarized, carjacked, assaulted, raped or killed by other blacks in our own homes or neighborhoods ?i personally feel like there is something wrong with this picture....what are our "so-called black civil rights leaders" doing or attemting to do about addressing these problems ? look at philadelphia ? they are expecting over 400 murders of blacks, by blacks......how can other races of people take us seriously as a race with all these problems, and many, many others that i did not touch on ? so are the calls for "blackouts", which i personally think was a flop, and marches on the justice department premature ? would it be better for black america if we at least tried to fix the problems in our own communities before we try to go and blame whites for things that are important but not as important as peace in black neighborhoods...the jena 6 are criminals and they should be punished or at least atone for what they did, the wilson case was quite different and i am happy out his outcome, i noticed that black america has still not heard most of facts about the megan williams case, only that the peope that did it were caucasian and because the black panther party is assisting her is the one reason the masses of black america is not in masses there...i feel that if the so called black leaders did more to address the problems in black america that i mentioned earlier the masses would support them more, it seems like the leaders want to support criminals and thugs and get angry if some, most ,or all, of black america think they are fools and just looking for fame or the spot light such as jackson,ballentine, and sharpton...in closing...god bless the good, honest, non-criminal, and hard working black people in america...and god bless america !!!

Five film directors who love interior design
Wes Anderson
How could this list begin any other way? Anderson's interiors are unmistakable and widely referenced by decorators. He uses bold colours, ornate wallpapers and symmetry to underscore themes in his films, with intimate attention to details.
Andrew Niccol
In a unique approach to science fiction production design, this Kiwi director chose a classic 1960's aesthetic for his film Gattaca. Although the futuristic nature of the plot is emphasised by sleek grey surfaces and advanced technology it's the nods to Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture that really impressed aesthetes.
Roger Vadim
Yes, the King of Kitsch is a questionable inclusion here. Vadim's adaptation of the French comic Barbarella (1968) launched the career of then-wife Jane Fonda but it was the outrageous interiors that cemented its cult status. After all, nothing says space age like wall-to-wall shag pile carpeting.

You call yourself a Database Expert? Know your history, dude.
- Aug 30, 2016
- By Lee Laster
- In Educational, Natural Language
- 0 Comments
Occasionally, in a fast-paced world in which technology advances seemingly in the blink of an eye, it makes sense to step back and look at where a thing has been to figure out where it might be going. Take, for example, the evolution of the database and the search query.
As long as there have been humans, there has been data. From ancient hieroglyphs to your mother's recipe file, data storage has played a significant role in preserving and retaining important information throughout history.
The Rise of the Computer Database
Computer science began in earnest in the 1940s and COBOL was the first non-proprietary programming language. Once computer science truly got underway, it became apparent that data would need to be stored somewhere. Hence, the history of the database began.
The 1960s: In the early 1960s, computer use became more practical for private organizations and enterprises. In 1964, the first commercial database management system was designed. By the late 1960s, IBM and North American Aviation (later known as Rockwell International) developed a hierarchical database model known as IMS. By 1971, a network model known as CODASYL became popular. Both model types were accessible from COBOL using an interface.
These advances were notable because they enabled developers to create an application and maintain a database. However, the process was somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming for all involved.
The 1970s: Things changed considerably in the 1970s. Intuit's "A Timeline of Database History" explains: "E.F. Codd published an important paper to propose the use of a relational database model, and his ideas changed the way people thought about databases. In his model, the database's schema, or logical organization, is disconnected from physical information storage, and this became the standard principle for database systems."
Once relational database systems became the norm, two database systems became prominent. The Ingres database system used a query language known as QUEL, which later led to query languages like Ingres Corp., MS SQL Server, Sybase, Wang's PACE, and Britton-Lee. The System R database system used SEQUEL, which later led to the development of query languages like SQL/DS, DB2, Allbase, Oracle, and Non-Stop SQL.
The 1980s and 1990s: The evolution of search query languages continued unabated through the next two decades. In the 1980s, SQL became the standard query language. Personal computers became standard in most households, and developers scrambled to meet rising consumer demand for an easier user interface and a way to make search queries more user-friendly.
A New Millennium and a New Quest
Attempts at interfacing successfully between humans and their data hasn't always yielded the most fluent of user experiences. Creating reports and dashboards, or even searching for a set of records is time consuming and can be difficult to formulate when it comes to non-tech-savvy people.
Most database interfaces include sliders and checkboxes where users need to be on boarded (pre-taught how to use) in order to extract answers efficiently. More often than not the sidebar approach tends to be cumbersome, a fact to which most Google Analytics or Salesforce users can attest.
Though developers have worked on the challenge of making search queries more accessible to the average person for many years, even in the new millennium progress has been somewhat slow. Microsoft's "Natural Language Processing" explains the problem in this way: "It's ironic that natural language, the symbol system that is easiest for humans to learn and use, is hardest for a computer to master. Long after machines have proven capable of inverting large matrices with speed and grace, they still fail to master the basics of our spoken and written languages."
Human language is, by its nature, ambiguous. Computers, on the other hand, do not like ambiguity. The trick, then, was to develop a system whereby natural human language can be "translated" into a search query language like SQL. Can this really be done?
Enter Kueri, a more recent installment in the database interface history book, a system that acts as a bridge between SQL queries and people who speak natural language. Recently, Geektime explained Kueri's unique system this way: "Kueri's system enables developers to implant a unique search box within apps to take questions from end users in natural language and translate them into SQL queries in real time. The app can run the queries through the database and display the results to the user. In addition, in order to make it even easier for the end user, it facilitates automatic completion during typing, with completions of words and smart suggestions according to the context of the search and database."
Kueri.me, the developers of Kueri, claim their solution has been proven as a real bridge of the Man-Database gap using their live online demo.
Kueri enables you to phrase questions in natural language.
While solutions for mitigating the man-data-interface gap are developing and have reached maturity over the past 5 years, it seems that the accelerated abundance of data (BigData) is compounding the challenge in a pace almost hard to catch up with. Recent developments aim to cater the reduction in interface complexity by implementing a Zero UI approach comprised of voice recognition, touch screens, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) database interfaces.

So we finally got the last wave of editorial interns this week, bringing the count to a whopping 9! Let's start things off by listing these poor n0obz: Kevin, Katie, Jeremy, Jason, Chris, Will, Susanna, Patrick and me. If this was a party it'd be Sausage fest '07. Anyway, people sent in some questions and now we're going to answer them. If you have a question for the slaves send me a CH Message.
Quick question Patrick, what's the best aspect of being an intern at CollegeHumor?
Everything is amazing. Everyone who works here is such an awesome person. I don't even care that I don't get paid, honestly! It's also awesome how I would never have to call the police because Jake was standing behind me with an Airsoft gun threatening to shoot a hole in my ear if I said anything bad about this awesome job. It's so rad that I wouldn't have to call the police about that. I wouldn't have to do that quickly.
And the worst aspect of being an intern?
The "intern tax" Amir told me about. Apparently, the city imposed a 5-dollar-a-day levy on all interns, which CH senior writer Amir Blumenfeld is nice enough to collect. To be honest, I've never actually heard of such a tax, but Amir told me they "just passed it, like, the day before you started." I know it's the law, but its still a bit frustrating, and Amir says he still hasn't told me know about the "5 percent of you Wendy's Bacon Cheeseburger" tariff. That, and the bloody hole in my ear.
Joe sent in an email asking, "How do I get to date the hot redhead chick on BustedTees? I love her."
I talked to some people in BustedTees and they told me if you become a "SUPER BUYER" (buy 50 shirts at full price) you're eligible for some sort of wholesale purchase discount. Then they said she has a boyfriend.

- Wedding: Royal Park Hotel
My husband's sister is having a baby, her first one around Thanksgiving. We're flying home that Thanksgiving but the sister lives 5 hours away by car. We both want to see our families over Thanksgiving so we can afford to fly into town but we can't afford to then rent a car and drive 5 hours and stay at a hotel in order to see the baby. If we don't see the babiy when they are born I don't think we would be seeing them until he/she was 6 months old during the summer.
Is it that huge of a deal to not see your niece or nephew right when they are born?

KALAMAZOO, MI - Illinois-based venture capital fund Open Prairie Ventures has inked a management agreement with the Southwest Michigan First Life Science Fund.
Patrick Morand, who has been managing director of the Southwest Michigan First Life Science Venture Fund, becomes president of Open Prairie Ventures and becomes a managing partner of Open Prairie Ventures III.
He continues to be managing director of the Southwest Michigan First Life Science Fund, a limited partnership venture fund formed in 2005 to focus on early stage life sciences opportunities in Southwest Michigan.
"I have engaged Open Prairie Ventures for the past five years to help with analytics and planning," Morand said. With the new agreement, he said, "We've formalized the relationship."
OPV will assume an advisory role over both funds, allowing them to operate more dynamically and expand their investment focus.
The relationship is expected to bring a greater depth of help with portfolio management, among other things, Morand said, and it should bring more capital to the region, in terms of investments that may be made here.
Morand said the Michigan Venture Capital Association has also agreed to provide funding to help underwrite a venture fellow, who will work with him for the next two years.
Open Prairie Ventures and SWMLSF have collaborated for more than five years on a number of investments, including Vestaron, a Kalamazoo-based agricultural company that is working to develop the next generation of environmentally conscious insecticides derived from spider venom.
Effingham, Ill.-based Open Prairie Ventures is a 13-year-old entity that has been focused on promising life-science and agricultural technology investment. It has had two funds, valued at about $40 million and $30 million, that have brought early stage ideas to syndicated investments and produced successful returns for its investors.
Open Ventures III will focus on agriculture technology, Morand said, mentioning the potential for investments in plant and animal science and the possibilities that arise in this community with Pfizer's Animal Health operation, which is soon to be spun off as a separate company, called Zoetis (zo-EH-tis).
"We think there's a great opportunity in agriculture," Morand said.

GST: Great Source of Trouble
Col (Retd) Bhaskar Sarkar VSM
GST was introduced with much fanfare by the BJP Government on 1 July 2017 following the passage of the Constitution 122nd Amendment Bill. It is applicable throughout India and has replaced multiple taxes levied by the Central and State governments. The GST is governed by a GST Council. Its Chairman is the Finance Minister of India with members from State and Central Governments. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at a number of rates, 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold. In addition there is a cess of 22% on top of 28% GST on a few items like aerated drinks, luxury cars and tobacco products. GST replaced a slew of indirect taxes like exercise duty, sales tax, octroi tax, entry tax, import duty, service tax, entertainment tax etc with a unified tax. It is expected reshape the country's 2 trillion dollar economy. The Government claims that GST is easy to administer, helps check tax evasion and reduces the cost of tax collection. The Government also claims that the prices will come down because of GST.
Infosys is building a gigantic electronic infrastructure to control the process which is expected to serve about 7.5 million businesses, 500 million consumers and possibly 10 trillion transactions per month over 4 metros, 7 semi metros, thousands of towns, hundreds of thousands of villages spread over 29 states and five union territories some of which are not yet connected by road or electricity. It is not out of place to mention that out of our one and a quarter billion population, only about 1% pay income tax, 3% understand English and about 2% can use a computer. The situation is further complicated by the fact we have three types of GST, Central GST, State GST and Integrated GST and five different rates excluding the special rates and cesses. This gigantic and complex system with a plethora of reports, tax collection, tax credits and refunds is to be implemented by Central and State departments who have been at war over jurisdiction (mainly over share of illegal gratification they have been used to receiving). I hope my readers understand what our Government has bit into.
It is not out of place to mention that only seven countries in the world, Singapore 1994, Australia 2000, Canada 2008, New Zealand 2010, Malaysia 2015, France 2015 and India 2018 have GST. 152 major economies including the US, UK, EU, China follow VAT. Most countries have only one GST rate. The lowest is Canada 5% and highest New Zealand at 15 %. Only Canada has Central and state GST. With this background information, we can now examine the problems being faced.
Troubles for Manufacturers
The accounting costs are likely to increase as calculation of cost of inputs and value added will be complex.
Initial tax payment will be large as the tax paid will be on cost of inputs as well as value added.
Delay in getting tax credits is a serious problem which can create cash flow problems particularly for small and medium size industries. GST system with multiple tax brackets has inherent problems, as the taxes on intermediate goods are in some cases higher than the tax on the final products in which they are used. Thus there may be cases where tax credit will be more than tax paid.
Troubles for Distributors for Whole Sellers
In GST, the supplier will be liable to collect tax on goods and services provided. This provision will have serious adverse impact on unregistered dealer business as most of the companies will try to not to deal with unregistered dealers to avoid unwanted additional compliance burden.
Troubles for traders and Retailers
The first and major problem is preparing the monthly returns. The GST returns are complex and even taxmen who are not computer savvy find them difficult to fill. Even if the returns become quarterly as is the case in some countries using GST, it is a major problem for those traders and retailers who are not computer savvy. Hiring professionals is costly and professionals have taken advantage of the large demand and hiked their rates.
There is also the problem of charging the wrong rate and getting penalized.
Troubles for the Tax Professionals
GST is absolutely different from existing system of indirect taxation. It, therefore, requires that tax consultants to be trained properly in terms of concept, interpretation, legislation and procedure for preparing returns, claiming tax credits etc. This will take time.
In the absence of a uniform legal procedure for tax disputes, tax professionals will have difficulty in helping clients sort out their client's problems with tax authorities. Litigations may increase.
Several transactions can be classified sales or as services. Thus there will be disputes in determining the nature of transaction.
Troubles for the Hospitality Industry
GST has led to rise in tariff. But hotels are unable to raise prices of rooms booked in advance. He will suffer some losses. Increased tariffs could lead to fall in occupancy and more losses.
There would also be problems in calculating value addition. For example branded atta attracts 12% GST while unbranded 0%. On what rates will input cost be calculated?
Troubles for the Consumers
The GST rates are too high on many products. For example, service tax has increased from 12% in 2014 to 18% under GST now. High taxes can lead to increased tax evasion, inspector raj and corruption, lower demand and thus lower tax collection, and higher prices. There is a risk that it may lead to short-term inflation.
The main problem with consumers is increased cost. I bought a mixer grinder worth Rs 2000 and paid Rs 560 as tax. Is this fair?
The other problem is availability. Dealers are not supplying items to small cash traders as the tax trail is not clear. This is causing scarcity in rural areas.
Troubles for the Taxmen
It is well known that it takes a fair amount of time for any software to be debugged. When the system is so vast, debugging the system is going to take time. Tax credits and refunds are getting delayed and the tax men and the government are being blamed.
Many offices of customs and exercise at district levels have not yet received the hardware and software. The end of the financial year is only about four months away. It is difficult to see how chaos is going to be avoided.
GST is absolutely different from existing system of indirect taxation. It, therefore, requires that tax administration staff at both Centre and state to be trained properly in terms of concept, interpretation, legislation and procedure for dealing with returns, tax credits etc.
There has to be a uniform legal procedure for tax disputes and litigations to avoid any confusion. This is yet to be put in place.
With the transportation services available everywhere, the place of sale and consumption may not be the same. This makes it difficult to go forward with revenue allocation.
There are various definitional issues related to manufacturing, sale, service, valuation etc. arises. These need to be rationalized.
Troubles for the Economy
The first and most important problem is Central Government's loss of revenue. As per Mr. Vanaja Sharma, Chairperson Central Board of Exercise and Customs (CBEC) (as reported in Times of India, Jaipur Edition of October 30, 2017), the Government had targeted 9.7 lakh crores collection from Customs and other indirect taxes in its budget for the current fiscal. Keeping in view the GST rollout this target was unlikely to be achieved. What will be the shortfall is difficult to project. Right now the CBEC was acting as a facilitator and not penalizing anybody. A serious shortfall will seriously affect Government spending and will result in low profile spending on healthcare, education, rural development etc. Job creation will stop and even retrenchments could take place. There could be distress selling of Public Sector assets to make up revenue shortfall.
The state governments will also face serious revenue losses. They cannot print notes or sell public sector assets. Government servants will not be paid in time. Even without GST problem, the Rajasthan State Transport Corporation employees have not been paid salaries for over three months. State governments are demanding compensation from the central government for five years as they foresee a major dent in the revenue due to sales tax revenue losses. The central government has agreed to 3 years. Only God knows what will happen when the loss of revenue due to GST will be known in April 2018.
Manufacturers of consumer goods and two wheelers will be in serious trouble. Their sales growth which was mainly in the rural areas will turn negative. Rural economy is totally cash oriented as there is only one bank for every 10 or more villages and small traders and vendors cannot accept digital payments. How this interface between the small traders and consumers in the cash economy and GST paying whole sellers in small towns work is yet to be seen. Diwali sales this year was down about 30%. Drop in sales will result in job losses, agitations and increase in crime.
There will be no growth in employment as private and public sector players face severe cash crunch. The number of educated unemployed will increase from the already monstrous 50 million. Demands and agitations for reservations will increase. Law and order will deteriorate.
It is not clear as to how the GST system caters for reconciliation of numbers of items produced and sold which will differ due to losses in transit, storage, accidents, thefts, expiry of shelf life, rejection during quality check and a host of other causes. Our sharp businessmen will no doubt exploit any loophole and cheat on taxes as they have done all these years.
Initial tax collection on introduction of GST is high and creates euphoria in governments. But this is going to be short lived as up to 65% may have to be refunded as tax credits. Governments will be in trouble if they over spend.
By opting for GST, our Government has taken a gigantic leap into the unknown. I can only hope they have looked long and hard before they leapt. The Government claims that GST will benefit the country in the long run. Mr. Yashwant Sinha, Finance Minister in the Vajpayee Government, says that we will be dead by the time things get better. Mr. Chetan Bhagat, Columnist and self proclaimed "Under age optimist" has pleaded with the Government to make things simple. Mr. Subramanium Swamy, BJP MP, calls GST a disaster and a national security risk. In the age of cyber attacks and warfare, total reliance on a digital system is likely to be risky. I, the self proclaimed "Over age rational pessimist" will hope for the best and try to prepare for the worst, a bankrupt government, unable to pay my pension. World Bank and IMF certificates and accolades do not guarantee my pension. Only sound, pragmatic and implementable economics policies and adequate government revenue can.
May God save India

You can never have too many side dish recipes, especially when they are as colorful and nutritious as this one! This Three Bean Salad is the perfect side dish to poultry and fish and with it's blend of colors it's perfectly festive for the season at hand. I would be a a fun twist to serve up this Thanksgiving instead of the same old green bean casserole. I love all the bright flavors and the burst of freshness in this salad. I also love that it's something out of the norm from the classic lettuce loaded salads. It still has a delicious vinaigrette but instead of tossing that over greens and the classic tomatoes, cucumbers, etc it's tossed over a mixture of fresh green beans, two types of kidney beans, bell pepper and a just a fair amount of red onion.
The great thing about this side dish, beyond it's wonderful flavor, is that it's perfectly hearty thanks to the two pulses it contains (the light red and dark red kidney beans).What exactly is a pulse? You may be asking. Pulses are any of the the following food items; beans, peas, chickpeas or lentils. Pulses are so versatile and with just a few seasoning they become so delicious. Not only are pulses so tasty, they are a healthy, sustainable food source. I've taken the pulse pledge this year and so should you! When you do, you commit to eating pulses once a week for 10 weeks and join a global food movement! Eating dry peas, lentils, beans and chickpeas helps reduce your carbon footprint – and it's great for your health. Every 1/2 cup of cooked pulses delivers 9 grams of protein. All you have to do is visit PulsePledge.com and sign up!
Add this salad to your menu soon! Everyone will love it!

Silly season has begun in the world of golf. While Turkey and Syria lob bombs at each other, eight of the top golfers in the world will lob golf balls on the Antalya Golf Club this week. Antalya, Turkey is approximately 250 miles west along the Mediterranean Coast from the Turkey/Syria border area that has been the site of some recent, rather unpleasant, problems between the two countries.
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Matt Kuchar, Hunter Mahan, Lee Westwood, Webb Simpson, Charl Schwartzel and Justin Rose will play the Pasha Course at Antalya Resort and split a $5.2 million purse. Last place pays $300,000.
Turkish World Airlines is trying to draw attention to the vacation possibilities of the resorts and mild climates in that part of the world. So much so that they have been willing to put up the big purse to hopefully find more passengers for their airplanes.
The Turkish World Golf Finals is not sanctioned by any world golf tour. The PGA and the European Tours had to grant these stars releases to play in this event. That brings up some interesting dilemmas for these tours.
The Frys.com Open is scheduled to be played this week in northern California. Fryshas made a huge commitment to the PGA Tour and promises to do even more in the future.
Last year the Frys.com was blessed with "El Tigre" himself. It received a huge boost to the ratings and ticket sales for that event. This year they find themselves competing for newsprint and air time against a big money exhibition from Turkey.

It's almost like being worth your weight in gold. The nation's first group life insurance plan indexed to the price of gold is being offered by Gold Services Inc., Montpelier, Vt.
The policy will be a standard life insurance contract written and payable in dollars, but the face amount payable to the beneficiary will vary with the price of gold. The coverage is called ''The Gold Life Plan'' and is designed to protect policyholders against future inflation.
''We expect widespread acceptance, since our surveys indicate up to 70 percent approval of a gold life insurance plan among the gold-purchasing and nongold-purchasing public,'' says Clark A. Aylsworth, Gold Services president.

T.J. Bunn Jr. of Tuscaloosa has been appointed to the Alabama Conservation Advisory Board by Gov. Robert Bentley.
Bunn, an avid hunter, angler and conservationist, graduated from the University of Alabama School of Business. He is employed at S.T. Bunn Construction Company, a third-generation family business focused on asphalt and base construction.
Bunn, a member of Safari Club International, Alabama Wildlife Federation and the National Wild Turkey Federation, replaces Brock Jones of Tuscaloosa on the Conservation Advisory Board.
The board will meet May 19 in its final meeting of the year. Issues that may be addressed, and voted on, include possibly extending Alabama's deer season into February and hunting with the aid of bait. The state's deer season currently ends Jan. 31 and hunting with bait is prohibited.
The Conservation Advisory Board is composed of 10 members appointed by the governor for alternating terms of six years, and three ex-officio members – the Governor, the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, and the Director of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System. The Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources serves as the ex-officio secretary of the board.
The board assists in formulating policies for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and examines all rules and regulations. By a two-thirds vote of the members present and with the governor's approval, the board can amend, change or repeal current rules and regulations or create and promulgate additional rules and regulations.
