America’s Healthcare Crisis was a Created Disaster

Washington, DC—Despite claims of open government and transparency the Obama Administration put a bunch of unelected Left Wing lunatics in charge of reinventing healthcare and insurance.  They had a lot of things in mind bout none of them were about the rights of all Americans under our Constitution.

The Obamacare project or that Socialist conspiracy was passed into law by a congress that had admittedly not even read the massive legislative package.  The bill was passed on pure partisanship and 'faith'.  That alone should invalidate the whole mess.

Our Supreme Court will weigh in on this monster Thursday and it already looks as though it’s in for a well-deserved, massive rewrite. 

Now back to the real healthcare crisis at hand.  I said we have a created crisis.  We must examine just what we did that deprived Americans of affordable insurance and healthcare.  

The cost of healthcare has skyrocketed primarily during the last four decades when we through non-enforcement invited millions of criminals, poverty refugees and assorted trespassers to ignore our immigration laws. 

In America no hospital emergency room can turn the sick or injured away because they can’t pay or if they are illegal aliens.  That includes pregnant women about to give birth.  All of Central America knows this and have enjoyed free medical care for decades at the expense of all Americans.

Every medical bill sent to patients or insurance companies must be and is drastically inflated to cover those loses and to insure enough profit to keep hospital doors open. 

The other problem is that we insist upon treating the sick and injured that refuse to cease their sometimes incredibly risky behavior and health habits.  We just won’t say no to anyone.  It’s not fair to force insurance companies to cover drug addicts and violent criminals.  Of course we have a percentage of the population that is horrified of any thought of requiring personal responsibility.  

We must begin by returning Central America’s trespassing medical freeloaders back where they came from. 

I’m not anti-immigrant nor am I a racist.  Hundreds of thousands of aliens have earned their citizenship through military service.  I would not be opposed to a program that would allow the illegals to return to their countries of origin and apply for legal visas and eventually citizenship.  The ability to read and write English on a sixth grade level would be a reasonable entry requirement.  It’s legal immigrants that have made this country great.  

Our telephone systems also need to change.  Press one for English, or Two to get deported.

We should give serious preference to immigrants that can demonstrate skills and abilities that would keep them off the welfare rolls.

As for the so-called Dream Act concept of legitimizing those smuggled into America by their parents I am inclined to consider letting them stay based on school performance and excellent behavior.   Their parents on the other hand should be located and deported.  A Green Card and the path to citizenship must also come with a price such as honorable military service or some similar public service.

The open border Leftist propagandists have, deceptively redefined Immigration Reform.  We need reform all right, which is to reform our enforcement efforts, as Congress originally intended them.

As for American healthcare policy, we cannot begin to deal with this until after we reverse the damage done by millions of impoverished and ignorant trespassers.

Socialism can only exist with a massive percentage of the population being kept ignorant, dependent and poor.  It’s the Socialists that have infiltrated our government that are constantly engineering the failure of our free market and Capitalism.

Fighting Crime The Chicago Way!

Chicago, IL—In this city known for rampant corruption and cronyism the politicians know what to do with the money they extort from taxpayers!  Whenever possible taxes here are only used to support thieves, thugs and liars. 

Chicago’s ghetto violence is way over the top this year.  Whenever the temperature rises so does the body count.  Chicago's cops are undermanned, outgunned, underpaid and demoralized.  Their pensions are on the fast track to be part of certain future bankruptcy proceedings.  Imagine just what the working cops think of Chicago's latest anti-violence plan? 

The only way to deal with violence like this is hire, train cops and send the violent ghetto rats off to prison until they are too old to hurt anyone.   That works.

However in the “City That Works” any anti-crime or violence program is acceptable only if wastes lots of money and as long as it doesn’t work.   The Mayor and his merry men are going to once again show how theft and bad government still has the affection of Chicago’s voters.

Chicago’s politicians have agreed to hand over $1,000,000.00 to a group calling themselves, “Cease Fire".  They were founded simply to take city tax money and pretend they’re working on violence reduction.  Of course Cease Fire will be working in “secret negations” to make Chicago safer.  I’m sure the time and money will be easy to audit that way. 

Cease Fire is a group of, not so retired ghetto gangsters with significant rap sheets that are supposed to convince their pals not to kill each other, or innocent civilians.

They could hire, train and equip lots of cops that would have a positive result on crime reduction.  They only thing wrong with that idea is, that it works. 

Chicago is bankrupt and we need not wonder why for a second. 

  

Legalizing Drugs, the Right Way

Washington, DC—Millions of America’s inhabitants are addicted to chemicals that have been outlawed.  The list of banned substances grows every day as ignorant politicians try to enjoin pathetic people seeking new ways to escape reality and experience intoxication.  The police state constantly increases its grip on innocent people that don’t use or want drugs.  Then there are all of us that must pay for the massive failure called the Drug War.

The simple truth is that drug laws have not prevented those who crave illicit drugs from obtaining them.  The laws have not saved lives.  On the contrary the laws have resulted in thousands of killings related to drug trafficking.  Unfortunately many killed are not involved with drugs.  Thousands of lives have been shattered and destroyed by bad police work, botched drug raids and false imprisonment.

The very worst of criminals and corrupt government officials are being obscenely enriched because of the Drug War’s guarantee to keep drug trafficking profits at the highest levels. We have the absolute power to put these criminals out of business in a single day, by simple legalization.

How should we legalize drugs?  Some say regulate and tax them.  On it’s face, collecting taxes on the backs of drug addicts sounds great.  The reality is that continued regulation and taxing of the drugs keep opportunities for government corruption and the same criminals we seek to bankrupt.  There should be no regulation of drugs marked to feed recreation and addiction.  Consumers of the poison need to beware and find their own methods of quality control.   How is that somehow different that what’s going on right now?

Drugs sold for therapeutic reasons still need the FDA and quality control.  There should be no changes here other than to let physicians prescribe whatever drugs they see fit for their patients.  Heroin has a legitimate place in pain management and treatment of elderly and dying patients.  Physicians cannot now use it for any patient for any reason.   In this regard cops need to be removed from our doctor’s offices.

We need to end the arrest, searches and, prosecutions of anyone for mere possession, manufacturing or sale of drugs.  We can do this while keeping the violent behind bars along with those involved with government corruption and money laundering.  That same should hold true for those who have not reported or paid income tax on their ill-gotten gains.  

If we take these simple steps, we do know that street crime will drop to the lowest level ever.  There will be no more turf wars, between drug lords. 

Right now many addicts have habits that consume well beyond $1000,00 per day.  They can’t earn the money any other way than theft, burglary, robbery, sex commerce and involvement in the illicit drug trade.  The outlawed drugs would not exceed to price of sugar, coffee or tea without the prohibition.

If the Drug War had any success at all I guess continuing it would have some benefit.  However we all know the Drug War’s only benefit is to make rich criminals richer.  Why do we tolerate and continue feeding this disaster?

I would like to see the day that addicts seeking treatment to get well can simply walk into a medical facility to turn their lives around.  Instead we have created scam opportunities for bogus government drug treatment contractors that do nothing more than warehouse addicts simply to shave prison time off of their punishment.

Drug addicts are easily hated and demonized.  They are a desperate lot that will victimize or do the most despicable acts just to feed their habits.  Perhaps it’s the right time to help these sick bastards become healthy and productive. 

Chicago’s Great Gun “Turn In” Scam

Chicago, IL—The Windy City’s Political Gadflies will be out in force once again.  They are hosting another so-called Gun Turn In for guns, bb guns and toys. 

People once again will be enticed with immunity from arrest and gift cards to turn in virtually anything that even looks like a gun.

These events bring people in from suburban areas, Indiana and Wisconsin who are able to sell Chicago some completely unserviceable and worthless firearms.  The truth is that area firearm dealers (remember Chicago has no firearm dealers) go out of their way to collect junk to bring in for substantial profits. 

Chicago's gun-rights hating political and religious advocates will all sing and hold hands while they convince each other that they are somehow saving lives.  The problem here is there exists no data whatsoever, anywhere that can even provide a shred of empirical evidence that a single injury or death is prevented by these efforts.

One thing for sure, is that anyone wanting a serviceable weapon can use the proceeds obtained at the Gun Turn In to buy a working gun and live ammunition. 

This is not going to lower the vast numbers of senseless shootings that almost exclusively happen in Chicago’s ghettos.  This will not save lives.  This is nothing more than a very extravagant and expensive effort at symbolism over substance.

This will however cost taxpayers a bundle for media ads, manpower and the cash paid out.  We can continue to wonder how many additional burglaries and gun thefts will take place because of this heavily promoted Chicago fencing operation?

As usual, Chicago’s worthless members of the media will ask no questions or talk to nobody from the NRA or Illinois State Rifle Association.  They will never ask who pays for this fiasco or how much it really costs taxpayers.   That’s because Chicago’s media has become nothing more than public relations agencies for local incumbent Democratic political campaigns. 

Chicago’s political incumbents can always count on lots of valuable face time courtesy of local media by simply repeating the same failed and money wasting programs like the Gun Turn In. 

The Call Me Mr. Fry—A Theatrical Review

Los Angeles, CA—In the City of Angeles they have the Hollywood Fringe Festival going on right now.  Live theater here is non-stop in this entertainment district. 

Standing out is a show called, They Call Me Mr. Fry.  Jack Fry is a real Los Angeles, inner-city, substitute, fifth grade school teacher.  This is about his first year in what would best be described as somewhat of a combat zone.  In fact the teachers get paid extra for the challenges there.

What Jack Fry does in his production is relive the culture shock, fears, hopes, and dreams along with the lives involved in his teaching experience for the audience.

Fry delivers a commanding performance as he takes you through school district’s bureaucratic political correctness gone bonkers.   Fry enters a world of gangs, violence, neglect, heartbreak and poverty to capture the attention of his students, long enough to teach them.  

Fry’s show has a similar theme to that touching 60’s film with Sidney Poitier, To Sir With Love.  The difference it’s Fry that becomes all of the characters in his story.  The laughter, anger, tears and joy are amazingly similar between these two theatrical works.

Fry is the natural target of everyone’s wrath, punishment and surprises.  Fry teaches these difficult children, but it’s Fry who learns the most important lessons. 

Fry realizes a shocking discovery that he spends more time with some of the children and knows them better than their own parents.

If I have a gripe about teachers is that so many of them duck, run and simply mark time until they retire.  They are not inspired and have no ability to inspire anyone else.

Teachers must be first class showmen and women.  How else can you keep the attention of students long enough to transfer that all-important educational information? 

I challenge anyone to name more than a handful of teachers that were ever inspiring to him or her.  I personally view the American teaching profession as mired in a world of seniority, tenure, unions and abject mediocrity.

Fry’s students are indeed lucky because he’s a born showman.  He has a charismatic gift to hold his student’s attention to pass on the information they desperately need to break the chains of poverty.

This show is a, must see for parents, teachers, and politicians everywhere.

This summer Fry is again taking the show on the road to a city near you and has the details on his web site.  http://theycallmemisterfry.com/Site/Home.html

Here is a trailer to enjoy:

Obama Has Redundantly Devalued American Citizenship

Washington, DC—With every new tax, restriction of liberty and now dictate to grant amnesty to the trespassers sneaking into this once great nation,  our citizenship is worth much less.

America was the land of the free and the home of the brave. Americans were once taxed at a lower rate than nearly any developed nation. 

We’ve allowed politicians to create a police state where Americans are groped while entering airports and government buildings.  Our telephone, banking and Internet activities have for all practical purposes become government property.

Today tax rates have caused corporation after corporation to relocate to Europe for relief.  That of course has taken millions of jobs from Americans.

Today our dictator, Barack Obama has granted blanket amnesty to Illegal aliens and that has officially added a huge number of people to our dire unemployment situation.  That will also place these parasites to the front of the government entitlement lines.

The value of our citizenship has been reduced to almost nothing compared to foreign nations. 

Of course the hardest hit by this outrageous amnesty will be Americas poorest citizens and the lawfully naturalized citizens that follow the rules.  They now must compete with a flood of trespassers for the few jobs we still had.

Any productive American that can flee the USA will be thinking hard of doing just that.  That is, until they place a Berlin style guarded wall to prevent our escape.  I know I am looking to find a way to spend my golden years in Germany or Switzerland.  Being an American is not fun anymore…

   

Chicago Politicians Must Face Violence Crisis, Here’s a Solution

Chicago, IL—The Windy City has been off to a violent start of summer. They have a major shortage of officers to deal with crime.


There is a simple solution to deal with this urban nightmare. Ignoring this problem will have dire consequences affecting rental property, businesses and the quality of life for years to come. Chicago’s lost enough taxpayers to safer and less hostile communities.


There are several thousand honorably retired Chicago cops around. Loads of them are fit, trained and still have their uniforms and equipment.


They can be brought back to cover weekends and evening hours. These officers can be assigned, to less strenuous beats while the younger officers are sent to do the heavy lifting.


The retirees should not be forced to reside within the city because many of them moved upon retirement to the suburbs. This will not exceed the overtime rates of regular officers.

Chicago’s Media has Become the Public Relations Arm of Local Government

Chicago, IL—I’m going to single out WLS-TV 7, however this applies to every major news organization in the Windy City.

I want to begin with a quote from a late and great writer.  You should always keep this quote in mind when reading news stories: 

“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”

― George Orwell

There has been a racist war on white people primarily on Chicago’s North Loop and Gold Coast areas.  Those engaged in ongoing mob violence are exclusively young African-Americans.  The victims are exclusively white, affluent residents, visitors and tourists. 

These are the facts and the Chicago’s administration officials along with the media are well-aware of this but they are engaged in a conspiracy to hide the truth from the public.  The facts are frightening and the public should be warned.  White people need to be warned to avoid young African-Americans because their very lives depend on it.

Call them Hate Crimes or a crime trend.  Call this whatever you like but it’s real and it’s news and should be reported.  City officials and the news organizations are convinced that Chicagoans can’t handle the truth.  The media simply avoids the issue and refer to the African-America thugs as teens and teenagers even though many are adults.  It seems as if they are describing ordinary children out having fun. 

The motivation for these racial attacks is far more than theft.  This is wanton cruelty, sexual assault and worse.   These are hate crimes by blacks targeting white people.

Michelle Gallardo

I contacted two WLS-TV reporters, Evelyn Holmes and Michelle Gallardo, responsible for reporting half-truths about two of these recent attacks.  They responded back to me defending their failure.  Gallardo called informing the public about the race issues, “counter-productive.” Wow! Imagine that!

I put a call into the News Director, Jennifer Graves of WLS-TV and she has refused to return calls or comment. 

We cannot ever begin to deal with this race war without acknowledging that it even exists.  We can pretend as visitors are invited to come to the Gold Coast of an evening of good food, entertainment and fine hotels.  What they are finding is sheer horror and life saving trips to hospital emergency rooms or worse.

The police department is undermanned, demoralized and outgunned.  They can’t begin to guarantee safety for their own officers.  They can’t protect the public under present conditions.

As for Chicago’s media they have been doing a great job of public relations for Chicago’s mayors, police superintendents and assorted officials.  I understand that the news business is in trouble and the only place to go for laid off reporters is to the ranks of public information officers.  The reporters are simply too afraid to make Chicago politicians angry. 

Illinois needs to allow citizens their constitutionally protected activity to bear arms in self-defense.   People should never be denied meaningful self-help when it comes to protecting their own lives.  The police can only do so much and thugs avoid their dreadful conduct when the cops are on the scene.  As always in Chicago, there’s never a cop around when you need one.

And the WLS-TVcoverup continues with censored reports about new black mob attacks on white physicians near hospitals.

Chicago’s Secret Race War

Chicago, IL—Let me begin by saying that African-Americans born and raised in Chicago have made important contributions to our military, public safety, medicine, arts, entertainment and business.  This is not an attempt to denigrate people on account of skin color.

Nobody knows the truth more than the productive and law-abiding African Americans that have tried to make the Windy City a better place.  This is more about misplaced sensitivities, dangerous and shameful denial.

As temperatures rise here African-American criminals commute from South and west side ghettos to stalk, beat, rob, rape and kill white people on Chicago’s Gold Coast.  This phenomenon is fueled by avarice, greed and simple racial hate.  If they can achieve sufficient numbers unstoppable flash mobs savagely swarm businesses and victims.  

Bank robber Willie Sutton said it best when a reporter asked him, why he robbed banks?  Sutton answered with a smile, “That’s where the money is!”   I won’t discount the fact that it’s no secret that lots of young, affluent white people either live on or visit the Gold Coast.   The Yuppies bring cash, credit cards, I-phones and their exceptional vulnerability that has become attractive thug bait.

Chicago’s predators were created by a racist and Socialist system that was designed to keep African-Americans, ignorant, poor, aimless, dependent and without hope.   That program worked beyond the creator’s wildest dreams.  An underclass exists now that will blindly support more Socialism that will keep them in power for generations.

Here the dangerous predators are all nearly exclusively African-American and their victims are all nearly exclusively white. There are virtually no cases of Whites victimizing African-Americans in similar fashion. 

City officials and local media have engaged in a conspiracy to hide the racial aspects of the Gold Coast’s violent crimes from the public.  Perhaps they don’t want to frighten tourists or damage patronage of hotels, restaurants and theaters.  They certainly don’t dare expose the failed social planning responsible for this untenable situation.   There is a race war going on that’s being kept secret but for various police bloggers that refuse to remain silent.

There are two huge problems that continue to contribute to this frightening metropolitan disaster.  A lack of sufficient police manpower and Chicago’s continued unlawful restraint of the right to meaningful self-defense and self-help facilitates this one-sided war. 

The African-American thugs know the city’s deliberate limitations.   They know they face little risk and the high probability they will escape interference and justice for their vicious acts.

The only way to combat this war is to properly warn the public, immediately increase police manpower through rehiring already capable, trained and equipped police retirees and to legalize self-defense.

The anti-crime plans offered by Chicago’s politicians and bureaucrats are supported and put forward only if they can’t possibly work.   

Les Miserables, the Musical is coming to the Big Screen!

Los Angeles, CA—Les Miserables is a book written by the late Victor Hugo. This classic novel was published during our own Civil War.  It’s about 19 years of events and a political climate that ended in an insurrection in in France in 1832.   The story unfolds around, a man Jean Valjean who burglarized a bakery for a loaf of bread.
Times were tough for this man who was arrested and imprisoned at hard labor.  His five-year sentence was lengthened considerably after numerous failed escape attempts. Valjean is finally released and briefly returns to crime breaking parole.

Soon Valjean sees the error of his ways and established a new identity and undergoes a dramatic change for the better managing to become a wealthy manufacturer and benevolent town mayor. 

Along the way Valjean winds up with a victimized and orphaned little girl, Cozette to care for and to raise as his own.  In the middle of this mess a revolution is going on and all Hell breaks loose.

All the while, the dedicated policeman, Javert, is relentlessly hunting down Valjean like a rat.  Valjean is discovered after an accident. 

There is a cast of rich characters with their own tragic tales that all unfold in this sad story.  It is a literary masterpiece that has been retold many times in film and in the theater.

In 1985, producer Cameron Mackintosh along with director Trevor Nunn and John Caird adapted the story into a terrific and wildly successful musical.  Claude-Michel Schönberg composed the music, and Alain Boublil wrote the libretto.

Now this musical has been adapted for the silver screen.  Okay, they now managed to have me spellbound and waiting with major excitement to see the film that is set for release this Christmas.  Needless to say they have an all-star cast.   Now, if I can only manage to get invited to the premier of the film…

The cast:

Les Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean

Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert

Anne Hathaway as Fantine

Amanda Seyfried as Cosette

Eddie Medmayne as Marius Pontmercy

Samantha Banks as Eponine

Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter, as Monsieur and Madame Thendardier!

Santa Monica Police Dragnet is in Progress for an Accident Involving Lindsay Lohan

Santa Monica, CA-Pacific Coast Highway is an incredibly scenic stretch of highway next to the ocean.

June 8^th was a particularly nice morning for the somewhat troubled young actress Lindsay Lohan.   Lohan was either a passenger in or driving a black Porsche Northbound in the 1100 block on her way to portray the late and great Elizabeth Taylor in a biopic film.

Something unexpected happened.  There was a collision between a large dump truck driven by an African-American male and Lohan’s black Porsche.

Lohan and a male occupant of the Porsche were injured.  They were being followed by a SUV that stopped and rendered aid to the injured.  Aid was rendered and the insurance information was exchanged.  Once that happens no driver is required to remain at the scene for any reason including talking to police or proving themselves sober.

Santa Monica Police responded to a call by the truck driver.  Police checked all three occupants of both vehicles for impairment and found them all to be alert and sober.

As what routinely happens with vehicle accidents some drivers claim the responsibility was on the other driver.

Was this a simple case of an inattentive Porsche operator driving too fast and being unable to stop in time to avoid a collision with the rear of the truck?  Was it a case of the truck cut recklessly in front the Porsche causing the collision? 

Photos of the Lohan Porsche seem to support the cutting off theory since the damage is not from the kind of impact expected when making direct impact with another vehicle from behind. 

A young woman interviewed the truck driver on video and apparently sold her recording to TMZ.  In that interview the driver claimed that Lohan tried to flee the scene by entering the SUV that was following her.  He also claimed she was trying to hide a pink bag.  To the contrary the evidence clearly shows nobody attempted to flea anywhere.  

Both occupants of the Lohan Porsche were injured and required medical care.  That is more important than talking or arguing with the other driver.   The truck driver’s claim that Lohan was hiding a pink bag is beyond meaningless since if the bag existed nobody knows what may have been inside of it.  The truck driver went on to claim that Lohan’s people at the scene offered him money not to blab about the accident.  Did the truck driver attempt to extort money from Lohan and get rebuffed? I ask, who really cares about that?

The best part of this story is that Lohan and the other Porsche occupant have not been confirmed as the driver!  Police have yet to determine who actually was driving the Porsche!

So the Santa Monica Police Department have put out a press release asking for witnesses to come forward so they can determine what happened and most importantly who was driving the Lohan Porsche. 

Let’s review this for a second.  There is an accident with property damage and minor injuries.  Both vehicles are presumably insured and the injured in the Porsche don’t want to make claims.   This is only about a minor traffic accident and who may or may deserve a simple citation.  Does this deserve such a police dragnet?  Are they desperately looking for witnesses because it involved Lindsay Lohan?

Let’s say arguably that the truck driver was without blame.  He has not suggested that he was injured and the damages, if any involve the truck he was driving presumably owned by his employer.   Insurance information was exchanged for the vehicles and the insurers will deal with the property damage in a non-criminal setting.

Lohan never missed a beat, once she was patched up at the UCLA hospital facility in Santa Monica she reported to the set of her film.

As a long time cop and PI, I found that it’s rare that you cannot assign blame to the cause of an accident.  Most often the drivers can’t wait to tell their sides of the story to police. This appears to be one of the rare ones where police don't know who was driving. 

In this investigation the cops can simply suspend the blame due to a lack of evidence.  Lohan and her fellow Porsche occupants have an absolute right not to talk to police or anyone.  If before the Statute of Limitations expires they get enough evidence they can mail their summons to the driver who was determined to be at fault. 

What we all must understand here is, that police have not been able to clear the truck driver or the Porsche occupants of being responsible for the accident.  

Had this involved anyone other than Lindsay Lohan would anyone have cared? 

The Nationwide Anti-Obama Demonstration that never was

Chicago, IL—Today in 168 places across the United States, upwards of 100,000 people, mostly Christians and Jews held peaceful joint protest demonstrations against the Obama Administration.  Specifically mandates requiring tax funds to be used for birth control and abortion in Obama’s massive Health Care law.

This was about America and our longstanding institution of religious freedom that has been revoked by Barack Obama and his unelected and un-vetted Czars.

Some 2,000 people came to Chicago’s demonstration as impressive numbers were also assembled in cities from coast to coast.  You never heard from the media this was going to happen and when it did the media again refused to report that it happened.   

The reason is beyond simple the mainstream media is dominated by Leftists.  They have become a political machine, that’s committed to saving Obama from any embarrassment or exposing his loss of popularity.  The mainstream media is by far Obama’s most loyal cheerleading group.  

There were no injured cops or broken windows involved here just a bunch of angry but well-behaved people that want their freedom returned.  I guess that’s not newsworthy.  Just ignore what you’ve read here and conclude the photos have been faked.  According to our major news providers this event never happened.

Can that Canadian, Gay, Zombie, Cannibal Suspect Be Innocent?

Berlin, Germany—After a desperate and very intense worldwide manhunt, Canadian murder suspect Luka Magnotta was arrested outside of an Internet café without incident.  

This story was twisted and depraved from the beginning.  Body parts were delivered to various politicians.  Threats and a strange video purportedly of Magnotta feeding a live kitten to a snake surfaced.  Suggestions of cannibalism were being published and broadcast everywhere.

Magnotta is Gay and a porn star to boot.  We all seem to forget that porn and being Gay is legal these days anywhere in the free world.  The truth is that this lad’s lifestyle is considered disturbing and depraved to a huge segment of the world's population.  He is the classic, usual suspect.

They called him everything from a zombie killer to a master of disguise.  Sensationalism elevated this apparent murder to the front pages of all the world’s papers.  But now with additional body parts being distributed in Canada I have to wonder if there was a rush to judgment considering he's in a Berlin lockup. 

I guess there could be accomplices but perhaps there is a killer out there who left the police obvious clues to mislead them.

The police and public are not clairvoyant and work off of things like hunches, gut feelings and guesswork.  DNA evidence is wonderful but it walks.  It’s easy for criminals to gather DNA laden materials from people they’d like to see blamed for crimes they committed.  Also over-zealous police can and do occasionally frame people with fingerprint or DNA material they deliver to the crime scenes.

While Magnotta is behind bars the crime activity is continuing.  There is a lot more to this story.  This lad will still need a top-notch lawyer and defense investigator.  Even kinky, Gay, porn stars deserve a fair day in court.  

Magnotta has reportedly waived extradition back to Canada.  Let's hope the authorities can deal with real evidence and fact rather than sensationalism and media hype overload.
I'd like an assignment to investigate this mad case and put my findings into a book or screenplay.   

Go Pro Cameras and Streaming Video is a Media Game Changer

Go Pro Camera with WiFi kit

Chicago, IL—During the recent NATO protests in the Windy City, there were as many as a dozen people using IPads and IPhones to broadcast live streaming video to the Internet.

The images were only as good as the WiFi connections available and the tiny camera lenses would permit.  Some were better than others.  The real breakthrough here was that this technological marvel could be managed by nearly anyone.

I spent several hours watching what the NATO protest I-cameras were broadcasting and found it interesting along with some very candid remarks by protesters.   I had to guess the locations they were broadcasting from, by the local landmarks because the camera operators were not professional or even marginal reporters.  They simply let the cameras roll.

Perhaps ustream.com or the camera makers could direct their consumers to some places where they could get some very basic reporter instruction.  Reporting on who, where and why this event is unfolding is as important as broadcasting the pictures.   Of course you never want to interrupt important sound from your newsmakers.  YouTube has several such tutorials posted right now.

The incredible power here is that with minimal cost anyone can instantly broadcast live video at a breaking news event where the whole world can see exactly what’s happening.  

Go Pro has been making inexpensive cameras for primarily capturing sporting activity from skiing, surfing to every form of racing sports.  The quality of the video and images is breathtaking.

Now they are offering Wi-Fi kits that would enable people in the thick of civil unrest, rescue efforts or any major newsworthy to wear live HD video cameras.   The images can be seen on sites such as ustream.com and can be picked up by any other broadcasters such as television news.

I fully expect to see a variety of inexpensive, stand-alone WIFi kits being offered to use with today’s prosumer video cameras for even better images and audio. 

The only limitation for live broadcast is a steady broadband Internet connection.   In populated areas outside of the Third World this is less of a problem every day.  

In case you were wondering these cameras are also incredibly effective for surveillance applications.  They can be placed covertly almost anywhere subject to battery life or external power sources.

I favor Go Pro because of the price, quality of images and their commitment to engineering every possible way to mount their products.

Fox News Has Jettisoned Conservatives in Favor of Pretenders and Liberals

New York, NY—Fox News Channel came on the scene when there was no media voice that countered the constant and uninterrupted tidal wave of Liberal propaganda from every TV screen.   Fox was and is a cable channel that managed to beat every other news competitor specifically CNN and MSNBC at the ratings game.

Fox News was always weak in broadcasting breaking news video because they never invested enough into resources.  Instead they toss a few reporter generated stories around and do the bare minimum on breaking news.  If the story happens in a location where they have no assets video is painfully slow to be shown on Fox. 

What Fox News did do right was to have Conservative talking heads that offered up something different from the rest.  They had Glen Beck and Judge Andrew Napolitano to counter the onslaught of the Left Wing broadcasters.   That has all changed for the worse.

Radio survived after many stations brought in Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Michael Savage and Lew Rockwell along with many others.  Unlike the radio business, TV moguls however, have been able to control what appears on TV screens.  Conservatism has simply not managed to become integrated into any portion of our TV lineup.  

In its beginning, Fox had a difficult time getting placed into cable lineups because they refused to play in harmony with the Left Wing propagandists.  Every possible roadblock was put into place including sponsor intimidation.  Fox proved popular and financial considerations understandingly won out over political ones. 

The restraint of trade and criminal racketeering of the broadcasting industry has continued and accordingly Fox has been forced into firing anyone with a, too Conservative message.  Yes, Fox took the coward’s way out. 

Fox does have a cadre of Leftists and pretend Conservatives on the payroll now and anything deemed too Conservative is censored. Pretenders Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity are a lot of things but Conservative, is just not one of them.  Criticizing Obama does not qualify to brand anyone Conservative. 

Fox News has plenty of lifetime liberal talking heads like Sheppard Smith, Geraldo Rivera and Bob Beckel.  They have been joined by others to somewhat satisfy the Left wing media policy makers. 

Fox has steadfastly refused to cover the question of Barack Obama’s eligibility to be President even after startling new evidence surfaced that his purported birth certificate is a forgery.  The fact that Obama has spent well beyond a million dollars fighting efforts to expose birth, passport, student loan, Selective Service and Illinois Sate Bar records that would put the controversy to rest makes everything so obvious.  Obama is not a citizen and cannot serve as our President. 

Regular TV advertisers have boycotted Fox after organized efforts at sponsor harassment by Left Wing agitators.  In the process the sponsors lost revenue after cowering to the Left’s threats.

Fox has been neutered and left totally gutless.  I have since cancelled my own cable TV subscription.  I get my own news and information on the Internet or radio.

The good thing is that TV and radio broadcasting is dying a quick death.  Everything will soon be Internet provided.  Until the Left can gain control over and censor the Internet it may remain the only place where speech is truly free. 

Every day our politicians are trying to find ways for the FCC or for that matter any federal agency to control and censor Internet content.  Controlling the world’s information is truly the key to controlling the world.  

  

Why Obama is Rapidly Losing Many of his Most Ardent Supporters

Washington, DC—Barack Obama promised Hope and Change from the Bush Administration’s eight-year disaster.  The primary complaints by the Democrats included that Bush had involved us in two incredibly expensive Mideast Wars.  Bush supported and signed the dreaded Patriot Act.  The Bush Administration was simply not transparent enough.  The economy was faltering and America needed jobs.   Frankly, I can’t argue against the fact that George W. Bush was one of our worst presidents ever.

Desperate Americans elected a nearly total stranger with a broad smile who was a lot younger than his opposition, that has-been dinosaur, Senator John McCain.   McCain a well-known Republican pretender was simply unable to excite or attract Conservative voters to the polls.  With only the Left and African-Americans going to the polls Obama won the otherwise lackluster election.

Now with his first term set to expire, nobody can argue that Obama didn’t give us everything Bush did, but in spades.   Obama has yet to end the two Bush wars and has gotten us into a third war with Libya.   As I write this, the Obama Administration is engaged in heavy-duty saber rattling with Syria and Iran.  Instead of winding down these wars Obama has only turned up the heat and cost in both dollars and our children’s lives.  

The Democrats had always considered the Patriot Act, Fascist.  Instead of wiping it from the books Obama has made it far more draconian and un-American. 

As for transparency, Obama sidestepped his vetted and Congressional approved Cabinet and appointed a group Czars that answer only to him and in secret.  The so-called Health Care Reform legislation was promulgated in secret despite Obama’s promises to publish everything on the Internet.  When this monster was drafted the public and voting members of Congress had no time to read it.   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accurately said, We must pass the Health Care Bill to find out what’s in it.”

Faceless Czars recruited from the ranks of the Far Left Fringe have been running the Obama Administration.  It is these people that are pulling Obama’s strings and writing the words for his Teleprompters.  If Obama seems like he does not have a clue sometimes it’s because he doesn’t. 

Obama is apparently clueless and incompetent.  He has walked all over our Constitution and Liberty.   To this day he’s never publically delivered or revealed a plan for America’s future.

Imagine the screaming Democrats would have been doing if George W. Bush brought about the NDAA to hold Americans citizens without trials or access to lawyers?  Imagine the same with respect to authorizing our military to engage in law enforcement activity on Americans? 

Obama did this all in his first term.  Imagine what he will do in a second term where he’d not have to answer to the voters?

Other Democrat hot button issues like the Federal Death Penalty have seen no reforms whatsoever.

Then there is the TSA abuse of our children; seniors and the disabled that has gone unchallenged and supported fully by Obama.   The Airlines, tourism and hospitality industries have been hard hit at a time when America never needed jobs more.  Since the TSA began nearly every airline has filed bankruptcy.   As the Obama Administration claim safety concerns they began to quietly end the program that had trained and armed our pilots to protect our planes sending mixed messages.  

I cannot forget to mention the trillions of dollars in bailout, bribery and “stimulus” handouts to anyone and everyone other than hard working American taxpayers.   How many jobs did that obscene money waste create?  The only beneficiary seems to be the offshore banks where the bulk of the money is today. 

Obama’s supporters are slowly beginning to understand they bought into this stranger’s hollow promises to make things better.  Have they gotten better?  Unfortunately we all know the answer to that.
