Meeting the needs of people with HIV released from state prisons is challenging to say the least, and becomes further complicated when they face other health complications such as chronic hepatitis C, mental illness, and chemical dependency.
An estimated 5,500* men and women with HIV/AIDS are currently doing time in New York State prisons, and almost all of them will be released to their communities before the end of their sentences. Assuring a successful transition depends not only on close interaction among service agencies, but also on the role that released people play when trying to navigate various systems and services such as parole, drug treatment programs, hospitals, city and federal agencies, housing, child support, etc. Service agencies that successfully assist people with their discharge planning are those that collaborate with each other, empower their clients by educating them about their rights and responsibilities and, most importantly, work with clients on such issues as self-disclosure, accepting one's health status, and the other problems that released people often don't want to face.
Preparing for community re-entry is a process that includes several steps. Typically in New York State, the first step is performed by a transitional or discharge planner from a service agency funded under the Criminal Justice Initiative (CJI) of the AIDS Institute. One of the first steps that HIV-positive people in prison can take is to connect with the CJI provider agency in their facility, via the office of Transitional Services. They can do this by writing to the CJI provider directly, by contacting the facility's PACE office (Prisoners AIDS Counseling and Education), or by calling the NYS HIV Prison Hotline (see "Resources").
"It is a lot easier to admit that you have problems with alcohol or drugs than HIV or mental illness. I never told anyone that I had HIV and that I had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic when I was 14 years old. It was at Fishkill that I received treatment for the first time -- I couldn't believe that those voices that haunted me for years could go away."
Incarcerated men and women who participate in HIV activities while in prison (support groups, outreach, peer counseling, trainings, etc.), and who also confront any drug addiction or mental illness, may stand a better chance of implementing their release plan and succeeding in the community. They are often more likely to follow up with the transitional planning agreed to prior to their release, and they can carry their strong advocacy skills to their communities, where they can become powerful role models. On the other hand, most people in prison who have not disclosed their HIV status find themselves at a loss. Not only do they lack basic information about HIV/AIDS, but they are also not part of any supportive community. Upon release, a good number of them want to remain invisible. They attend only programs that are mandated, shy away from talking about personal issues (such as the fear of disclosing their HIV status), and have difficulty accepting their medical condition.
Once a prisoner contacts the CJI provider in his or her facility, the next step is to coordinate with the Facility Parole Officer (FPO) and the Office of Mental Health (OMH) in the facility before approaching the Medical Office. It is always good to know what each party is doing in order to avoid duplication of services. The FPO should ensure that all personal documents (birth certificates, Social Security cards) are in place before the release date. The OMH is responsible for documenting the diagnoses, treatments and services received during incarceration. Many outside providers may not fully understand that FPOs and OMH staff inside a correctional facility sometimes encounter the same obstacles and frustrations that outside agencies face when they try to obtain important documents like the Comprehensive Medical Summary (CMS) from an institution's medical office.
A CMS should include diagnoses (including opportunistic infections, or OIs), CD4 counts, viral load tests, and a list of prescribed medications. But getting a copy of it can be an ordeal. Obstacles include working with an understaffed Medical Office, having an incomplete "HIV Release of Confidential Information" form, or receiving a CMS that is not signed by the appropriate medical staff. And often when it is obtained it may lack key information, such as OIs diagnosed prior to incarceration. One of the most challenging situations occurs when inmates are transferred from one facility to another and the medical records do not accompany them in a timely fashion. When this happens there are two options: contact the medical office from the prison where s/he was discharged, or wait until the Field Parole Officer (FPO), who supervises the person on parole after release, receives the person's chart.
"Find me a decent place to live, not a shelter or a drug-infested SRO. Find me a place where I can lay my head, adhere to my HIV treatment, where I can start a new life and reunite with my family."
Housing is the single most important service in discharge planning. Not only does it increase the chances of succeeding in an often hostile environment, but it makes the transition smoother. It is well known among providers who serve ex-offenders that individuals released to shelters have a lower chance of succeeding than those who end up in more structured and private settings.
Another important part of transitional planning is to know, as early on as possible, the criminal background of the person being released and to make sure s/he understands all parole stipulations. For example, a person needs approval by the local parole office regarding where s/he plans to live. A discharge planner could have a "perfect" service plan but a parole officer may not agree to it if the client has a history of criminal activities in the proposed neighborhood. Parole officers can make concessions in certain cases, but when it comes to violent offenders or sex offenders they usually will not.
"Women face problems that make family reunification a lot harder. Before we are approved to receive our children we must complete a parenting skills program that meets the court's stipulation. In addition, we are expected to find appropriate housing, which means separate bedrooms for your children. Sometimes finding a large family unit becomes a full-time job -- it may not be so easy to find what you need for your children."
Service providers that work with ex-offenders know that women coming back from prison face a specific set of issues that are not necessarily addressed in traditional supportive settings. The interrelationship between domestic violence, sexual abuse, emotional abuse and chemical dependency is rarely addressed in a well-integrated fashion. While many programs offer groups that touch upon some of these issues, they often lack the clinical depth and qualified personnel who are sensitive to the issues of women returning to their families after several years of incarceration. Reuniting with their children is often one of their highest priorities, but many women have lost their parental rights while they were incarcerated. Finding an agency or a program that assists with child custody, court advocacy and parenting skills is paramount.
"I was in and out of prison for years. I went to substance abuse programs every time I came out. I stayed clean for a while, but I guess I never realized the magnitude of my problems. It took me years to address and understand the real issues behind my addiction."
It is equally important to complete a thorough assessment of the person's history of drug use and mental health needs, to determine if the client will be able to attend programs that meet their needs and satisfy the conditions of release. Many people recently released are mentally ill and some services may not be suitable for them. Also, there are some programs that may not meet parole qualifications -- some parole officers buy into a harm reduction model, while others adhere strictly to law enforcement requirements of sobriety and a drug-free lifestyle. And if a PO does subscribe to a harm reduction model, the random drug testing often required of those on parole could negate any such program. In other words, transitional planning is not just making appointments for people -- it is a process that prioritizes what is in their best interests. Many substance abuse programs offer groups that touch upon some of these issues in the form of counseling, support groups, etc.; however, they may lack clinical depth and more qualified personnel who are sensitive to issues of women reuniting with their families after several years of incarceration.
"This was life's ultimate challenge for me -- this was the moment I had dreamed of for years. But the weeks before my release were as stressful as the three parole boards I went through."
Returning to one's community after doing five, ten, or more years in a state facility, having an HIV/AIDS diagnosis, perhaps with chronic hepatitis C and/or a mental disorder, is a very scary process for anyone coming out of prison. As one client said, even the best transitional service plan could fail overnight when someone ends up in the street without being emotionally prepared for the re-entry process.
"When I first came out, I was intimidated by the services people offered me -- I was not used to having so many people handling my business and asking me the same questions. To me, they all worked for the government; didn't they all have access to the same information? I said, hold it, hold it, what do you want from me now?"
One of the first problems parolees face is that service providers often don't understand that prior to release, all services were provided at the same facility. Now they may need to access services from two or three different agencies, and traveling from one agency to another with a Metrocard may trigger old insecurities and frustrations. In some agencies, follow-up is done by a person other than the one who completed the discharge planning. In some cases, a person newly released from prison may not be ready to accept what service providers have to offer.
"It wasn't clear to me why my parole officer wanted me to complete another treatment program in the community when I had completed the Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment program in prison."
Another source of confusion is how to implement certain conditions of release, such as seeking and maintaining employment. Should a newly released person get a job and attend a substance abuse program after work, or put their health and sobriety first?
Often, people on parole do not want to admit that behind their HIV or HCV diagnoses are chronic substance abuse problems or mental illness. It is easy for people released from prison to focus on their parole stipulations rather than looking at substance abuse issues as part of their general health concerns.
"The reason I did not succeed the first time I came out was that I thought I could do it myself. I never trusted anybody inside or outside. The second time, my transitional planner insisted that I needed to develop a scenario with plan A and plan B. At the beginning this did not make much sense, but after my release the second time I realized that things never go perfect. I was glad that he had prepared me for the worst. I have been out for five years already; prison life is definitely in my past."
Once all these unresolved issues, along with the economic needs of their families, begin to mount, people on parole may find themselves confronting their first crisis. Service providers must be proactive and address the emotional issues their clients face upon re-entry, and they must discuss a range of scenarios, helping them visualize and discuss the pros and cons of every action they may take.
Service agencies can take on additional key roles such as educating people on parole, as well as their parole officers, about living with double or triple diagnoses. One model, used at the Osborne Association, is to have staff regularly accompany clients to discuss medical issues with parole officers, who receive first-hand education from the person on parole. Parole officers in turn educate their clients about the difficulties of supervising 40 to 50 people on parole at the same time. The most successful outcome of this interaction is the sensitivity that all parties are able to develop around issues of HIV/AIDS, substance use, and community supervision. For example, in the past many parole officers misinterpreted some of the behaviors associated with complicated medical issues such as AIDS-related dementia. Meetings between case managers and parole officers were instrumental in preventing clients from being sent back to prison for behaviors that parole officers could have interpreted as manipulation, rather than loss of memory or disorientation caused by HIV/AIDS.
In the end, transitional planning for people with HIV leaving prison is not limited to addressing material needs. It is also about assessing their emotional needs, and about going beyond traditional roles by taking on new challenges, such as educating parole officers about the facts of living with several chronic medical conditions. If we are to enable some of the sickest people in our society to obtain the services they need to survive, it takes a whole community.
* Blind seroprevalence tests of all incoming inmates between 2000-2001 found that 5% of men and 14% of women were HIV positive. But of the estimated 5,500 inmates with HIV, only about 3,000 are known to DOCS medical staff and are receiving care. Of all inmates, approximately 9,250 have HCV (23% of females and 14% of males), 73% have a history of substance abuse, and 11% have been diagnosed as "significantly, seriously, or persistently mentally ill."

How fast are the stars? We'll have the list from fastest on down.
Until last Spring, I had never had the desire to run a marathon. It felt it was a ridiculous distance to run and in retrospect, I still think the same thing. Last year, 13.1miles was as far as I wanted to run, but when I started to see quite a few internet friends sign up for California International Marathon in December, I started to play with the idea running farther than 13.1 miles. With a little bit of peer pressure and support from my boyfriend (who would have to put up with all my training), I signed up.

May 11, 2013
Caption Deputy Administrator of FEMA since October 2009, Richard Serino, while Chief of Department, Boston EMS and Asst. Director, Boston Public Health, architected the disaster preparedness integrated drill plan for Boston and its surrounding region which is documented in his 2008 public report for the City of Boston: Marathons – A Tale of Two Cities and the Running of a Planned Mass Casualty Event (click on link to download report: http://tinyurl.com/Boston-Planned-Mass-Casualty )
There is no implied question mark at the end of the article title. It is not a tentative statement. It is an emphatic statement without equivocation. From the limited data compiled by Project Humanbeingsfirst scouring the public sources, and with no knowledge from any insider source of information – but with at least a modicum of sophisticated understanding of the history of "imperial mobilization", political science, fear psychology, voluntary servitude, and the engineering of consent to accomplish unpopular agendas when "democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization" – it is now apparent beyond the shadow of a doubt to this author that the Boston Marathon criminal event was a staged false flag operation ab initio.
The data indicates that it was a complex operation and not a straightforward terrorist act reminiscent of Operation Gladio in Western Europe during the Cold War.
This compiled data and its attendant analysis is available for the public's and the worldwide law enforcement and juristic personals' inspection in the full 62 page report dated May 11, 2013, Domestic Terror and Police-State (PDF) (http://tinyurl.com/Boston-Marathon-Fake-Terror).
This article summarizes the key findings and conclusions as of this writing, namely, that:
- a covert planned propaganda psy-ops exercise was camouflaged as disaster preparedness drill with the blessings of the duly elected officials of the City of Boston, the State of Massachusetts, and the Federal Government of the United States of America;
- it was was staged by actors hired to simulate injuries under the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) on explosion site one, and was initiated with a pyrotechnic explosion in front of 671 Boylston Street, shattering the Lens Crafters' windows onto the outside pavement;
- the covert propaganda exercise went live in a second explosion on event site two at 755 Boylston street, a mere 183 meters and 12 seconds distant from the event site one, causing what appears to be real injuries and damage to the inside the Forum restaurant building as well as to spectators on the outside pavement.
The two events together comprise the diabolical Operation Gladio Boston. These two separate events, treated as a single event by the officialdom and newsmedia, though linked under the architecture of Operation Gladio, are in fact very distinct and separate sub-events:
- The first sub-event, a staged production to simulate a terrorist act with simulated injuries, perhaps orchestrated as a "legal" event – by the enactment of appropriate laws, statutes, and the blessings of elected officials in the name of greater public good to deceive the public for their own protection by enacting a realistic drill with simulated injuries without the public's knowledge and without incurring legal culpability – but nevertheless a camouflaged covert exercise drill. It was intended to be entirely harmless to the actors beyond a pyrotechnic performance worthy of a permanent stage show exhibit at Marine World USA in California. It was designed for propaganda purposes only, to refresh the threat of "domestic terrorism" in the public mind. The Boston EMS, EMT, police, fire and other officialdom's integrated participation at this event was fully in the know, that it was a staged production with only simulated injuries. Only the public did not know.
- The second sub-event, ostensibly a very tiny, but a very real explosion. It reportedly killed 3 civilians and injured a large number of bystanders enjoying the Boston Marathon finish on that Patriots day in America. That casualty number is variously claimed by the press to be somewhere between 100 and 280, with varying levels of lower extremity injuries spanning the gamut of real pain from lacerations to a few amputations. None of these facts have been independently verified by anyone other than being reported by the same officialdom and their partners in this drill, but one may tentatively accept this report of injuries and fatalities at face value as it does not alter the analysis one bit even if these numbers later turn out to untrue or boldly exaggerated. Also to footnote that there cannot have been any fatalities on explosion event site one as it was entirely staged. Any fatalities claimed for event site one can only be fictitious, or occurred on event site two, or elsewhere.
Who actually architected, planned, and carried out this combined Operation Gladio in Boston is unknown at this time. Who carried out the drill component is in plain-sight. It was the integrated execution by the City of Boston as outlined in the public documents listed below – except that it was to execute covertly, and for a political agenda rather than as a training event.
What the overarching motives were are also in plain-sight, as is the most obvious question asked in any criminal situation: cui bono – who benefits? The whodunit question however, meaning, which supra-terrorist intelligence organization, and their collaborating proxy assets in the know, directly planned and executed Operation Gladio Boston of which the disaster drill conducted by the City of Boston was but one small component, will surely never be known. It is indeed quite likely that many among those who participated in the covert drill component thinking they were only doing their patriotic duty, are just as shocked by their covert drill going live on event site two. No deepthroat will reveal anything substantive until perhaps the day when the obvious motives behind all these false flag terror events on American soil, are a complete fait accompli. Meaning, irreversible new realities on the ground have been constructed whereby the scholarly, the journalistic, and any whistle-blowing disclosures of what was previously a closely held secret and very effectively "plausibly denied", can do nothing to alter these new hard realities and the public's notion of justice becomes obsolete or irrelevant.
Just as we now presume to know, ex post facto, at least something about Operation Gladio that was conducted in Western Europe of yesteryear when the USSR no longer exists today. Therefore, what's administering justice to the criminals in that situation mean? It is now not only a moot, but entirely meaningless construct.
This is Machiavelli at its utmost best. This modus operandi is even openly admitted by the White House, and with irresolute chutzpah worthy of its owners, also openly printed by the New York Times whose own motto, "All the news that's fit to print", makes such bold admission of Machiavellian statecraft public knowledge:
"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." (Ron Suskind, quoting George W. Bush's senior White House Advisor, New York Times, Oct. 17, 2004)
The following official public documents created by the Federal government of the United States and the City of Boston, are crucial in understanding the theory behind the first drill event. These are labeled by Exhibit number, as is everything else of evidentiary nature.
The following video depicts how trained amputee actors sporting moulage injuries are used for realistic exercise drills and synthetic training exercises for the American military fighting the terrorists overseas:
Caption Amputee actors in role playing in the name of "national security" and for "saving American lives". Click on video image to watch Americans soldiers in full military gear train for catastrophic injuries in the field in the simulated environment of a realistically staged exercise drill.
The following documentary by BBC Timewatch is crucial in understanding Operation Gladio of yesteryear:
Caption "Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State" James Jesus Angleton, Head of CIA Counter Intelligence 1954-1974
The following short video news bulletin highlights what was achieved in the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon Operation Gladio:
The following short commentary by a former session court judge makes the point of synthetic terror to catch the terrorists in an entrapment scam rather obvious when put in context of staging a diabolical Operation Gladio. Using dupes and patsies in FBI entrapment exercises which, when they go live for real enactment of terror rather than for averting the terror which is how these entrapments are legally justified before the American public by the blessings of the juristic fraternity, provide convenient patsies to hang the blame upon:
Finally, following is the image broadcast by Fox News on worldwide television of the rescue of one named "Jeff Bauman" by Boston EMT, EMS, and the man in the cowboy hat named Carlos Arredondo. The photographs that captured that absurd scene are shown underneath.
E10: Open Letter to the Doctors of America on the image of evacuation of a victim on a wheelchair with both his legs blown off by Boston EMT
Caption Superman victim identified as Jeff Bauman Jr., holding both his blown-up legs while sitting upright and looking alert, being rescued on wheelchair by a Boston EMT, Boston EMS, and man in cowboy hat identified as superhero Carlos Arredondo, about 6 minutes and 43 seconds after the first explosion in the theatre of the most absurd (Image Fox News footage, April 15, 2013, photographers unknown for other images. Open Letter URL: http://print-humanbeingsfirst.blogspot.com/2013/04/open-letter-to-doctors-of-america.html)
We can see that for event site one, none of the recommendation in E1 were actually followed. The emergency response evacuation was done in the most absurd manner. This implies that all those participating on event site one were in on the drama that these were only simulated injuries and their purpose was photo-ops.
We can also observe from the evidence of photographs of event site two (not included in this article but publicly available, including professional photographer brianjdamico's photostream on Flickr titled "Boston Marathon 2013 Bombing - Full Set of Images" taken at 755 Boylston street), that proper emergency response procedures were followed. Fire trucks and ambulances, the real emergency response, immediately arrived at the scene. The injured were properly handled, correctly immobilized and strapped on gurneys, and transported in ambulances. The area of event site two also appears to have far fewer people congregating, and professionally managed, in stark contrast to event site one only 183 meters away on the same street, which clearly has the appearance of a mêlée.
Exhibit E6, the video of amputees with simulated moulage injuries training American soldiers for overseas combat operations against the "Islamofascist terrorists", is most revealing of the dysfunctional psychology behind that holy endeavor.
These American amputees train American soldiers to go kill "terrorists" in Muslim nations, and are even happy doing so in the name of "war on terror". They feel gratified, as admitted by themselves in the above video, simulating moulage injuries for the sake of saving American lives. It is their thespian profession, their bread and butter, and also their two-bit patriotic flag-waiving contribution to American civilization and patriotism. What does it matter to them where their theatrical production is staged, or which American combat troupe goes through their training facility – the ones serving overseas fighting international terrorists, the likes of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, Sadaam Hussein, militant Islam, and Pakistani loose nuke's threat to American soil from across the ocean. Or the dedicated domestic EMS teams across American cities fighting the domestic terrorists? The 'War on Terror' after all is everywhere, the terrorism threat real. And now that Osama Bin Laden has mercifully been laid to rest, the threat is surely increasing in its domestic tenor as continually reported in the news media. What if the armed right-winger militias, internet bloggers, skeptics, and constitutionalists alarmed at what's happening to their beloved nation and almost willing to take matters into their own hands, have their rising discontent harvested by Al Qaeda? That is a pretty powerful motivation to join in any staged drill across the United States – and the video is proof that such people exist to fill all the job advertisements by HSEEP and FEMA.
It is more empirical than just speculatively imaginable that amputee actors were engaged for the Boston Marathon to enact the theatre of the absurd. From that staged act was broadcast the propaganda scene of the legless victim Jeff Bauman Jr. being rescued on wheelchair by Boston EMT and Boston EMS on worldwide television to play on public sympathies worldwide. It is for certain that no real injured victim exhibits such behavior medically as the actor in wheelchair, and no real EMT and EMS rescue operation behaves in that asinine manner unless they have been sold on the project that it is a Planned Mass Casualty Event exercise drill for a good cause, that it is to be a photo-ops, and is not a real event. No EMT and EMS will behave that way in a real emergency for fear of having their professional licenses revoked, and being held criminally negligent in the exercise of their trained, checklisted, and strictly laid out duties on how to handle such emergencies.
Therefore, as the inevitability of sound and rational logical reasoning always condemning the indefensible and the guilty, since this first event was a Planned Mass Casualty drill, the poor Muslim patsies, the Tsarnaev brothers, were also just innocent stooges setup in the usual manner by the FBI (Exhibit E9 Judge Napolitano) to take the fall for a realistic enactment of practicing Martial Law in Boston. The real criminals are at this time most certainly doubling up with laughter at the American people's expense, and at their own brilliance for once again having successfully got away with scapegoating Islam and Muslims.
However, if the officialdom of City of Boston will insist that this first event was real in order to save face in public because the Planned Mass Casualty Event actually went live and there were real casualties by their own admission and statistics, then the images shown on worldwide television of the legless victim in a wheelchair are outright fake.
No trained EMS and EMT will rescue someone whose legs have been blown up in that absurd way as is obvious from how the second sub-event was handled where the injuries were deemed real and it was known by the EMT and EMS to not be an exercise drill. The images show real fire brigade trucks and ambulances handling the injured in a completely different and commonsensical evacuation protocol than was observed at the first site where the simulation was known to being enacted. Therefore, they would have to accept that the broadcasting of the absurd rescue of Jeff Bauman Jr., on wheelchair on mainstream television news worldwide was faked, if they would insist that the first event itself was not a fake.
That double jeopardy, Mr. and Mrs. Law enforcement and rapidly atrophying legal minds of America, namely,
- either the acceptance that event one was a covert HSEEP Planned Mass Casualty Event instead of the overt exercise drill as per their own planning documents, and the victims were only simulating moulage injuries,
- or the acceptance that the images broadcast on television were faked (as no real EMT and EMS operation is trained to perform rescue in that absurd way, and were they to respond in that fashion they would be immediately held liable for criminal negligence in this most litigative nation where lawyers abound),
is the checkmate!
This checkmate, with expert testimony by medical and EMT practitioners of just describing their own normal procedures from their own textbooks and emergency procedure manuals, can stand in any court of law. It is not obvious for what precise charges however; perhaps minimally to publicly admit the truth as stated above, and as future hazard mitigation of drills inexplicably going live, to legally put a blanket moratorium on all such Planned training exercises by the executive branch of any administration, whether local, state, or federal, in which the pubic is not a priori informed – the way they were repeatedly informed of the planned Operation Shield 2012 Boston exercise much in advance.
As documented in the public documents above, the hiring of actors and amputees for disaster preparedness exercise drills is a Homeland Security and FEMA operational fact, not speculation. And so is actual conducting of Mass Casualty Event drills for which these stage-hands are routinely hired and asked to sign non disclosure agreement on national security grounds. These drills are used to rope unemployed people as well as pertinent officialdom into role play as their patriotic duty in the 'war on terror' preparedness; to officially stand down any real emergency services as responsible people think this is only a drill and only those participating in the drill from officialdom are on stage and scripted into the act; and subsequently, these drills are easily turned into a false flag operation either by collusion of all concerned, or solely by a supra covert agency of the national security state conducting a compartmentalized covert-ops terroristic act with "camouflage, patsies taking the blame, and deception" for which the drills provide the most excellent official cover and stand-down of real response.
That happened on the 9/11 catastrophic terrorism event (no NORAD response to the supposed airliner hijackings as the entire air defence system of the United States was standing down thinking it was the pre-planned exercise drills many of which were simultaneously in progress on that date). And we can see this same scenario in action replay in the Boston Marathon refresher small-terrorism event, where no ambulances or fire engines showed up for a long time, and the actors sporting moulage injuries were evacuated in wheelchairs for media photo-ops. The frightening thing to observe here is the level of complacency of the Boston citizens. A medical city, none of its doctors and professors of medicine have risen up to assert their expert testimony that these images of injuries and the emergency response of licensed and trained EMTs appears to be a spoof movie rather than something that they as professors of medicine either teach or practice in their own hospitals.
As we see transpiring in Boston and explained above, this drills method for overlaying Operation Gladio covert-ops also easily co-opts the officialdom and actors who were only participating in the drills part, into adopting stoned silence given the real destruction, and real fatalities and injuries, for fear of criminal culpability for deceiving the public – not to mention the non disclosures they already signed any violation of which they minimally risk legal charges if not outright assassination by the same national security state apparatus which carried out the Operation Gladio death operation on the unwary public.
This diabolical modus operandi of training drills going live, is one up on the more primitive Operation Gladio in Western Europe. The false flag events there were not necessarily assisted by their officialdom, and was conducted by NATO intelligence principally to convince both the state's elected officialdom and the public electing them, of the fictitious threat of Communist invasion of Western Europe. The difference with the latter day Operation Gladios anywhere in the Western world, including in the United States, is that the national state machinery is already a part of the Hegelian Dialectic of 'War on Terror'. It is mainly their respective public that needs periodic convincing why they should be better off living in a police-state in order to protect them from an equally fictitious threat from domestic terrorists --- a Machiavellian modus operandi for the construction of a global police state piece-meal with the active connivance of officialdom under the cover of "plausible deniability".
Once again, all matters current already presaged by Bertrand Russell in the Impact of Science on Society in 1951:
"There is, it must be confessed, a psychological difficulty about a single world government. The chief source of social cohesion in the past, I repeat, has been war: the passions that inspire feeling of unity are hate and fear. These depend upon the existence of an enemy, actual or potential. It seems to follow that a world government could only be kept in being by force, not by the spontaneous loyalty that now inspires a nation at war."
Who those overarching planners are who continue to hijack drills and training exercises to make them go live, is unknown. The masterminds can never really be pinpointed – unless under a victor's justice as witnessed at Nuremberg Military Tribunals where the Nazi's 'Operation Canned Goods' was easily apprehended as the diabolical pretext "to goosestep the Herrenvolk across international frontiers" (Justice Robert H. Jackson), and for which many among the surviving Nazi leadership were hanged. I desist from speculating without hard evidence, except to state the obvious fact of the matter. That, whichsoever this supranational organization is, and whosoever its real leaders, planners, controllers and field agents are who have repeatedly carried out Operation Gladio on both American and international soil with brazen impunity, can only be a secretive and highly compartmentalized part of officialdom space of the supranational security state that controls not only the sole superpower, but also many Western nations.
Without officialdom's active and tacit quid pro quo protection of this supranational security state apparatus within the facade of elected governance, this criminal enterprise running Operation Gladios worldwide cannot ever succeed.
Since the overarching motivation of officialdom – who are already known to merely be the elected front faces for the oligarchy that rules the United States with complete control – is known to be global governance in a global police state, therefore, all methods and modus operandi which take the world there, by hook or by crook, by the straightforward logic of the matter, are also its own.

The Google Maps team added support for Street View in Israel's major cities this past weekend - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa. If you haven't had a chance to check out Street View yet, it can take you on a virtual stroll down city streets right inside Google Maps - on the web or on your Android device.
For example, to check out Tel Aviv's views, download Street View on Google Maps, head over to Google Maps and punch in "Tel Aviv, Israel." Then click on the city name, Street View, and voila:
Pan, click, move, show your friends and family - it's especially impressive to those who have never seen Street View in action, which could be the case if, you know, you actually live in Israel.Read More

Television and Children
Most kids plug into the world of television long before they enter school.
- two-thirds of infants and toddlers watch TV an average of 2-hours a day
- kids under age 6 watch an average of about 2-hours of screen media a day, primarily TV and videos or DVDs
- kids and teens 8 to 18-years spend nearly 4-hours a day in front of a TV screen and almost 2 additional hours on the computer (outside of schoolwork) and playing video games
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2-years old not watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2-hours a day of quality programming.
The first 2-years of life are considered a critical time for brain development. TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development.
As kids get older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family.
Of course, TV in moderation can be a good thing: Preschoolers can get help learning the alphabet on public television, grade school children can learn about wildlife on nature shows, and parents can keep up with current events on the evening news. No doubt about it — TV can be an excellent educator and entertainer.
But despite its advantages, too much television can be detrimental:
- Children who consistently spend more than 4-hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight.
- Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them.
- TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.
Children's advocates are divided when it comes to solutions. Although many urge for more hours per week of educational programming, others assert that zero TV is the best solution. And some say it's better for parents to control the use of TV and to teach kids that it's for occasional entertainment, not for constant escapism.
That's why it's so important for you to monitor the content of TV programming and set viewing limits to ensure that your kids don't spend too much time parked in front of the TV.
Violence on TV Shows
To give you perspective on just how much violence kids see on TV, consider this: The average American child will witness 200,000 violent acts on television by age 18. Kids may become desensitized to violence and more aggressive. TV violence sometimes begs for imitation because violence is often promoted as a fun and effective way to get what you want.
Many violent acts are perpetrated by the "good guys," whom kids have been taught to admire. Even though kids are taught by their parents that it's not right to hit, television says it's OK to bite, hit, or kick if you're the good guy. This can lead to confusion when kids try to understand the difference between right and wrong. And the "bad guys" on TV aren't always held responsible or punished for their actions.
Young kids are particularly frightened by scary and violent images. Simply telling kids that those images aren't real won't console them, because they can't yet distinguish between fantasy and reality. Behavior problems, nightmares, and difficulty sleeping may follow exposure to media violence.
Older kids also can be frightened by violent images, whether they appear on fictional shows, the news, or reality-based shows. Reasoning with kids this age will help them, so it's important to provide reassuring and honest information to help ease fears. However, consider not letting your kids view programs that they may find frightening.
Risky Behaviors Shown on TV Programs & Commercials
TV is full of programs and commercials that depict risky behaviors (such as drinking alcohol, doing drugs, smoking cigarettes, and having premarital sex) as cool, fun, and exciting. And often, there's no discussion about the consequences of those actions.
For example, studies have shown that teens who watch lots of sexual content on TV are more likely to initiate intercourse or participate in other sexual activities earlier than peers who don't watch sexually explicit shows.
Alcohol ads on TV have actually increased over the last few years and more underage kids are being exposed to them than ever. A recent study by the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) found that youth exposure to alcohol ads on TV increased by 30% from 2001 to 2006.
And although they've banned cigarette ads on television, kids and teens can still see plenty of people smoking on programs and movies airing on TV. This kind of "product placement" makes behaviors like smoking and drinking alcohol seem acceptable. In fact, kids who watch 5 or more hours of TV per day are far more likely to begin smoking cigarettes than those who watch less than the recommended 2 hours a day.
Health experts have long linked excessive TV-watching to obesity — a significant health problem today. While watching TV, kids are inactive and tend to snack. They're also bombarded with ads that encourage them to eat unhealthy foods like potato chips and empty-calorie soft drinks that often become preferred snack foods.
Studies have shown that decreasing the amount of TV kids watched led to less weight gain and lower body mass index (BMI — a measurement derived from someone's weight and height).
Commercials on Television
According to the AAP, kids in the United States see 40,000 commercials each year. From the junk food and toy advertisements during Saturday morning cartoons to the appealing promos on the backs of cereal boxes, marketing messages inundate kids of all ages. And to them, everything looks ideal — like something they simply have to have. It all sounds so appealing — often, so much better than it really is.
Under the age of 8 years, most kids don't understand that commercials are for selling a product. Children 6 years and under are unable to distinguish program content from commercials, especially if their favorite character is promoting the product. Even older kids may need to be reminded of the purpose of advertising.
Of course, it's nearly impossible to eliminate all exposure to marketing messages. You can certainly turn off the TV or at least limit kids' watching time, but they'll still see and hear advertisements for the latest gizmos and must-haves at every turn.
But what you can do is teach kids to be savvy consumers by talking about the products advertised on TV. Ask thought-provoking questions like, "What do you like about that?," "Do you think it's really as good as it looks in that ad?," and "Do you think that's a healthy choice?"
Explain, when kids ask for products advertised, that commercials and other ads are designed to make people want things they don't necessarily need. And these ads are often meant to make us think that these products will make us happier somehow. Talking to kids about what things are like in reality can help put things into perspective.
To limit kids' exposure to TV commercials, the AAP recommends that you:
- Have your kids watch public television stations (some programs are sponsored — or "brought to you" — by various companies, although the products they sell are rarely shown).
- Record programs — without the commercials.
- Buy or rent children's videos or DVDs.
Understanding TV Ratings and the V-Chip
Two ways you can help monitor what your kids watch are:
- TV Parental Guidelines. Modeled after the movie rating system, this is an age-group rating system developed for TV programs. These ratings are listed in television guides, TV listings in your local newspaper, and on the screen in your cable program guide. They also appear in the upper left-hand corner of the screen during the first 15 seconds of TV programs. But not all channels offer the rating system. For those that do, the ratings are:
- TV-Y: suitable for all children
- TV-Y7: directed toward kids 7 years and older (kids who are able to distinguish between make-believe and reality); may contain "mild fantasy violence or comedic violence" that may scare younger kids
- TV-Y7-FV: fantasy violence may be more intense in these programs than others in the TV-Y7 rating
- TV-G: suitable for a general audience; not directed specifically toward kids, but contains little to no violence, sexual dialogue or content, or strong language
- TV-PG: parental guidance suggested; may contain an inappropriate theme for younger kids and contains one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual situations (S), occasional strong language (L), and some suggestive dialogue (D)
- TV-14: parents strongly cautioned — suitable for only kids over the age of 14; contains one or more of the following: intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong language (L), and intensely suggestive dialogue
- TV-MA: designed for adults and may be unsuitable for kids under 17; contains one or more of the following: graphic violence (V), strong sexual activity (S), and/or crude language (L)
- TV-Y: suitable for all children
- V-chip (V is for "violence"). This technology lets you block TV programs and movies you don't want your kids to see. All new TV sets that have screens of 13" or more now have internal V-chips, and set-top boxes are available for TVs made before 2000. The V-chip allows you to program your TV to display only appropriately rated shows — blocking out other, more mature shows.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires that V-chips in new TVs recognize the TV Parental Guidelines and the age-group rating system and block those programs that don't adhere to these standards.
For many, the rating system and V-chip may be valuable tools. But there is some concern that the system may be worse than no system at all. For example, research shows that preteen and teen boys are more likely to want to see a program if it's rated MA (mature audience) than if it's PG (parental guidance suggested). And parents may rely too heavily on these tools and stop monitoring what their kids are watching.
Also, broadcast news, sports, and commercials aren't rated, although they often present depictions of violence and sexuality. The rating system also doesn't satisfy some family advocates who complain that they fail to give enough information about a program's content to allow parents to make informed decisions about whether a show is appropriate for their kids.
So even if you've used the V-chip to program your TV or a show features the age-group ratings, it's still important to preview shows to determine whether they're appropriate for your kids and turn off the TV if they're not.
Teaching Children Good TV Habits
Here are some practical ways to make TV-viewing more productive in your home:
- Limit the number of TV-watching hours:
- Stock the room in which you have your TV with plenty of other non-screen entertainment (books, kids' magazines, toys, puzzles, board games, etc.) to encourage kids to do something other than watch the tube.
- Keep TVs and internet connections out of bedrooms.
- Turn the TV off during meals.
- Don't allow kids to watch TV while doing homework.
- Treat TV as a privilege to be earned — not a right. Establish and enforce family TV viewing rules, such as TV is allowed only after chores and homework are completed.
- Try a weekday ban. Schoolwork, sports activities, and job responsibilities make it tough to find extra family time during the week. Record weekday shows or save TV time for weekends and you'll have more family togetherness time to spend on meals, games, physical activity, and reading during the week.
- Set a good example by limiting your own TV viewing.
- Check the TV listings and program reviews ahead of time for programs your family can watch together (i.e., developmentally appropriate and nonviolent programs that reinforce your family's values). Choose shows that foster interest and learning in hobbies and education (reading, science, etc.).
- Preview programs before your kids watch them.
- Come up with a family TV schedule that you all agree upon each week. Then, post the schedule in a visible area (e.g., on the refrigerator) so that everyone knows which programs are OK to watch and when. And make sure to turn off the TV when the "scheduled" program is over instead of channel surfing.
- Watch TV together. If you can't sit through the whole program, at least watch the first few minutes to assess the tone and appropriateness, then check in throughout the show.
- Talk to kids about what they see on TV and share your own beliefs and values. If something you don't approve of appears on the screen, you can turn off the TV, then use the opportunity to ask thought-provoking questions such as, "Do you think it was OK when those men got in that fight? What else could they have done? What would you have done?" Or, "What do you think about how those teenagers were acting at that party? Do you think what they were doing was wrong?" If certain people or characters are mistreated or discriminated against, talk about why it's important to treat everyone fairly, despite their differences. You can use TV to explain confusing situations and express your feelings about difficult topics (sex, love, drugs, alcohol, smoking, work, behavior, family life).
- Talk to other parents, your doctor, and teachers about their TV-watching policies and kid-friendly programs they'd recommend.
- Offer fun alternatives to television. If your kids want to watch TV but you want to turn off the tube, suggest that you all play a board game, start a game of hide and seek, play outside, read, work on crafts or hobbies, or listen and dance to music. The possibilities for fun without the tube are endless — so turn off the TV and enjoy the quality time together.

ColoradoEd offers different online options, each with their own benefits. Start here to learn more about what would work best for your student.
As parents, we all naturally want the very best for our children, but are we giving our children the tools and support they need to truly reach their full potential? One of the most precious gifts parents can give their children is the gift of a superior education. In fact, your child's future and quality of life depend greatly on the education they are provided. Data from several studies on the impact of education on a child's future quality of life show that:
In addition, researchers have determined that each child learns best at his or her own pace and on his or her own terms. As a result most children in traditional public and private school settings may not be learning optimally, hindering them from ever truly prospering.

I really didn't jump into this sale for much,
decided to grab Introversions 'Uplink', being super late to that party.
Also, 'Unity of Command' which struck me as some interesting strategification.
Slowing down my videogame buying machine. I know I can't play everything relevent, and I suppose I spend a lot of time now in research... waiting for those peak experiences to present. Until then im just experimenting.

Affordable housing is not a new concept now, it has become a very crucial part of the Indian real estate sector. It is not only an ambitious mission to be achieved, it is the need of the hour in a shelter-starved country like ours. A roof over the head is a basic necessity and making homes affordable is the only way to make it possible for everyone. The government is taking major steps in the direction. One such method is Value Engineering.
What is Value Engineering?
Value Engineering is the systematic way of reducing the costs involved in construction of projects while maintaining the superior quality of the resulting product. In a quest to offer something unique and better than their competitors, builders try to use high-grade raw material of construction. This only adds exorbitant costs to the process but the end result is not very satisfactory.
This is where Value Engineering comes into play. It segregates the reasons behind high costs of large-scale construction and devises a proper planning to cut down those costs. It is not only concerned about the techniques of construction, but starts right from planning and designing, this is why sometimes it is also referred as 'Value Management'. A vigilance over the planning phase could save 15-20%. [Read more…]

Best car purchase EVER!!!
" We contacted 5 Mazda dealers in the Tampa Bay area. We got the best value from Tyrone Mazda! We dealt with Ron Schulz. What a pleasure he was to deal with. He explained all of the various features of the vehicle we purchased in GREAT detail. As my wife does NOT like to drive the interstate, he accommodated us by having the vehicle delivered to our home. We have never had such a carefree and relaxing purchase of a new car. He also provided us with a business card and a personal cell phone number to contact him if we EVER need any assistance with anything concerning our recent purchase. What a nice guy!! I would not hesitate to recommend Tyrone Mazda and especially Ron Schulz to my friends and family. What a pleasant experience! Thank you again for treating US like family. "

" This was my first time purchasing a car, and it was an awesome experience!! Mr.Moon was the best and really made me feel like family. He was not pushy how some sellers are. He was very informative! I mean he knew so much information on these cars and cars in general. If you are looking for a car I highly recommend asking for MR.MOON, it's been a week since I've had my car and he still responds to me on any questions I have regarding my car, he's just a text away. Very respectful, genuine and nice guy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! "
" Went into Tyrone Square Mazda after seeing a vehicle of interest on their website. Amy walked right up to us cheery and upbeat. Told her why I was there and she took me directly to what I wanted to see. She didn't try to show me or sell me anything differently. She was personable, honest and fair. We spent the entire time looking at the vehicle, she answered questions, retrieved all the required information without hesitation. I'm happy that we had Amy as our salesperson! She was a joy to work with (bc buying a car can be long and tiresome!) When you go, ask for Amy! "
" Came in today with my heart set on the 2019 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. Jay immediately helped us out, answered all questions and inquiries we had. Let us take it for a test drive, made sure my family and I were happy, and i get to leave happily with my new Jeep. Tyrone Square Mazda gained a new happy customer today :) "

" Both my wife and I purchased 2 cars . Alan Brooks's was a great salesman. Very informative. "
" Having purchased multiple vehicles in our lifetime, I can say that my experience with Tyrone Square Mazda far exceeded any other car buying experience. David is friendly & knowledgeable about all things Mazda. Darius is fair and accommodating. Brandon worked his magic with the numbers. They are an extremely effective team & made this car buying experience one for the books. I highly recommend Tyrone Square Mazda - specifically, David, Darius & Brandon. Thank you again for everything!! "
" Love there service center! Towed our car behind our motorhome from Savannah to St Pete just to take our barely running Mazda 3 to them.. Very easy to deal with, went in with a big problem expecting a very expensive repair. When they called they said "no charge" the factory warranty I thought was over covered all repairs. Will be back "
" When you are car shopping, no reason to look anywhere else ...choose Tyrone Mazda. I have purchased cars from Sonny Gonzales at Tyrone Mazda for 19 years. I had the same fantastic experience today, as I did 19 years ago. I have had friends and other family members purchase cars there too and they always say the same ...Sonny and this Mazda dealer know how to treat you right! Thank you Sonny! "
Worth the drive
" Drive here to get a deal that is as good as it sounds . No dealer hype and no excessive fees. This is a low key dealership that just sells great used cars. I drove from the east coast of Florida and was not disappointed. I drove in with one Mazda and drive home with another. "
" First, I'd like to thank Anthony who works in the service department for his A+ customer service. I learned he was only working at this dealership for a couple of weeks and the way he treated me and showed me around the dealership I thought he was there for many years. His hospitality is unmatched and due to Anthony's great service I will be having my Mazda 6 serviced at this dealership every time time my vehicle needs to be serviced. My advice, if you need your car serviced ask for Anthony he'll make you feel like family! This was the most pleasant experience I've ever encountered at any dealership. "
" Rob gave us a great test drive, CX 9 & CX 5 "
" I had a great experience buying a used vehicle at this dealership. Amy Potter was very knowledgeable about the vehicle. She offered a lot of help with the options. Yea Amy🎉 "
" Our salesman Rob Friedhoff was very helpful in the purchase of our vehicle. Would recommend Tyrone Square Mazda and their helpful staff. Was a very pleasant experience. "
" My fiance and I just purchased a 2019 toyota highlander from tyrone mazda and we couldnt be any happier. They hot us an amazing deal and really made you feel comfortable. They were not pushy at all, they let us take our time and figure out what we wanted, and virtually took care of everything for us. I can not speak highly enough. It wasnt just one person that helped, it was the entire team, they even stayed an hour and a half after they closed to make sure we were able to drive her home that day. We will definitely be buying our next vehicle with them. Thanks again guys, we love it. "
" Tyrone Square Mazda is the only place where I buy cars. I've bought three Mazda3's off Ron Schulz and he not only always gets me what I want at a price I want, but he makes it fun. Thank you again Ron...until next time...Zoom Zoom! :) "
" Mike is a great guy and salesman. He helped with the whole process of purchasing our new shiny SUV. I would recommend him to anyone. Brandon completed the paperwork and financing. He was so patient with my husband and I. This dealership is 5 stars in our book. The Hansens. "
" Tyrone Square Mazda is an excellent place to purchase a car, new or used! I had a beyond excellent experience with Joseph Pillucere, Mike Groome, and Dariusz Chrzanowski! They took their time to get me the best rate, the car I wanted, and to make sure I understood the entire process on financing a car. I definitely recommend this place and these people to anyone looking for a car! I'll also be returning for my next when the time comes. 😊 "
" Had been looking for a Nissan Rogue for quite a while and had dealt with numerous dealers around my area and no one was willing to work with us at all. Happen to come across the website for Tyrone Square Mazda in St Peters-burg. I was directed to Amy Potter when i spotted a 2019 Nissan Rogue Sport. I spoke with Amy in great depths about the Nissan Rogue for probably less than a week & I got the deal done. Drove from Plant City to St Peters-burg and met Amy in person. She was a delight and very friendly. It felt like i had known her for years. Everything went accordingly to all the emails me and Amy shared. Everything i asked about the Nissan Amy always replied. Amy Potter is a great asset to Tyrone Square Mazda. I would only deal with Amy in the near future and would refer family and friends direct ally to her. "
" Had a great sales experience with Sandy who helped us purchase a used CX-5 off the lot! She was always available when I called and provided great post-purchase care, including helping us with an extra pair of car keys for our new car. She is honest when she doesn't know the answer to our questions and will make an effort to find out the answer for us. Looking forward to do further business at Tyrone! "
" Great staff. The salesman Mike Groome was great at showing me the perfect car in the perfect color. The sales manager and the finance team such a great deal with low interest that I just couldn't walk away from. I wasn't even expecting to buy the car that day but the deal and the car was just right. Then there is the parts department they were able to order the car cover that I need and it arrived fast. Definitely will be coming back. "
" Great experience great people "
" Easy to see and buy new vehicle. Great experience!!! "
