Sick “TeleHealth”

So who is “still” making it rich here in Alaska courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers, even when Washington is digging in deep for deep cost cutting legislation? How about the “TeleHealth” industry for starters. And when I target crooks that are taking advantage the taxpayers' hard earned income garnished paycheck to paycheck to fuel the U.S. Treasury, it is all about “Welfare”, corporate welfare in this case. Look, nobody understands utility billing, as it has become an obscure science with the intent to fool the consumers. If that were not the case, it would mean a simple bill each month with the cost for service rendered, nothing else – divide this by that equals what I owe. Such long-winded bills today are designed to fool, and in this foolish scam that is allowed by Congress, it amounts to a few cents on the dollar, so what. But when the overall haul-in makes it back to the front office, it accounts for millions in “Fraud” money – which in turn is used for political contributions by utility company lobbyists to keep the consumer scams going. It is a complicated situation for us and a simple rip-off scenario for the crooks. Now case on point with phone service, what in hell is this “Universal Service Charge”? Well it is a fine you pay so this “TeleHealth” can be a reality for those that live wherein there is not medical treatment by a bonafide sheepskin MD. It is a “fine” because it provides “zero” worth for those of us that live in the city or rural areas, land ahoy connected by roads that allows mobility to the nearest ER. In Alaska, “TeleHealth” was supposed to be a saving grace effort to allow some semblance of local medical surveillance without the high costs of a dedicated on-site staff with very little too do. It had merit, if the original intent was a justified ways and means to provide economical health care wherein health care was lacking. But I doubt the original intent was based on “out” patient needs and nothing short another way to use the Alaskan “Back Country” excuse to fill the back-pocket wallets of unscrupulous businessmen bent on ripping off Uncle Sam – a direct blow below the belt across the knees! It is yet another case of a crippling greed mentality, a truly un-American dereliction of duty. In fact, Alaska receives well over 50% of the money taken in by the Treasury for this secret “Service” charge, or fine. It amounts to well over $35-million, and Alaska has benefited over the years above and beyond any other state with “TeleHealth” needs and is provided this type of medical assistance. In Alaska, this state racks up approximately $54-dollars per person for this type of coverage, wherein there is a doctor many miles away that can provide assistance. The second state leading the high costs of this hi-tech like medicine is North Dakota, at $2-dollars per person. So you can see why Alaska reaps the benefits - maybe rape finds itself a better value - and gets a whole lot of support from Uncle Sam. Now this “TeleHealth” is a good thing, except when the system is abused, which is generally the case when Alaskan businessmen and Federal funding finds a relationship. This state has ripped off the U.S. Taxpayers well beyond any conscionable amount, a trend that continues year after year after year. It should have been stopped a long time ago. See, most of the existing “TeleHealth” contracts cost about $200,00.00 per year, but most of the clinics provided this gear have been shut-down, or remain open for business but a few hours per week. And in order for the local witch-doctor to use the system, he or she must be a bonafide member of the system, like a PA! And this is not the case for many outlying clinics that have been built, through millions in Federal assistance grants, then when the construction was complete, the clinic shutdown, due lack of funding and qualified staff. But the “TeleHealth” bill remains active, even if there comes no customers, which means the “Universal Service Charge” - this fine - continues. So there are hundreds of contracts here in Alaska wherein somebody is collecting a whole lot of taxpayers' loot and providing nothing in return. It again points to the fact that we are our own worst enemy. Look, if local telecommunication companies are providing this service, why not do it the American way and charge for the service only when the service is rendered instead of demanding blood out of a turnip, through “running reserve” contracts. It all boils down to that age-old greed factor. With this “TeleHealth” scam here in Alaska, someone saw another opportunity to rip off the hand that feeds realizing that there exists no accountability here in the “Last Frontier” when it comes to Federal assistance, with both corporate welfare and citizens' welfare. In a single year's time, Alaska threw away almost $20-million in U.S. Taxpayer money for this “TeleHealth” scam, for 1095 measly medical calls, which amounts to about $18,000 dollars for each call. Like the Inspector General cautioned, the money spent for nothing in Alaska with this “TeleHealth” scam could provide a team of Mayo Clinic medical professionals to visit the bush each summer, to health screen the citizens and offer medical advise and prescriptions if necessary! Another case in point I prefer to use to get the point across that demonstrates the system is broke was the funding that the late Senator Ted Stevens approved for studying the penis size of the male Musk Oxen. The proposal was submitted, the money was had, but there is nobody in their right mind that would attempt such an act. And there is this unfortunate dilemma alive and well, as when “pork” money is appropriated it cannot be taken back, the system of merits does not allow such a retreat. And due the possibility that honesty may still exist, Congress made the rule that exterminates any honesty hangover which does not allow unused money to be returned to the Treasury! So the penis caper money was abused and used to build a hunting camp! Ted was adamant that he has no control over what happens to the Taxpayers' money once it leaves the U.S. Treasury. And therein exists what has happened for years amounting to abuse. Congress has been very generous giving away the hen-house, with no accountability. Had there been accountability, especially here in Alaska, we could have used the Treasury money to create something that future generations would have enjoyed, like a sustainable jobs infrastructure – instead of vacant buildings due lack of interest and never any intent for occupancy. Due easy handouts, we went addicted on “pork” and corporate welfare and today we see the effects of such “fraud” with failed project after failed project and no future for our children. And how many millionaires did this crazed greed make? Lots, believe me as the “Corrupt Bastards Club” had a following of gangster type greedsters and today the Federal deficit points to me for a bailout. Pathetic this time in history with respect to righteousness and a Congress that worked the end around play away from even the slightest ethical representation. And the real sad fact of the matter is this. The ways and means of Congress over the past 30-years has led to a generation that knows no better when it comes to ethics and wherein greed seems to be the deciding factor on just about everything. We have created a generation that thinks it is OK to rip off Uncle Sam, like that is the normal and moral thing too do. How do we break that habit? It is simple, how about trying a very easy thing, like being a true American, just once and maybe it will seed a passion for what this country once stood for. But like the “Universal Service Charge” and the fact that utility bills are complicated in efforts to screw over the America workers, I doubt if the parents of the wealthy generation have any inclination to do things with righteousness, morality or honesty, wherein the latter is just a suggestion, just like an Anchorage red-light, zoom, zoom!

Alaska's Cesspool

So North Dakota is about to surpass California as 3^rd in command with respect to oil development. Alaska may also fall behind once again this race. This state at one time in history not too long ago enjoyed the kingpin position, but the good old days are behind us. Texas stole away the “kingpin” status from the “Last Frontier” and since then it appears there in no retreat. In my book, that is OK, as what is on the horizon with future development if continued unchecked may turn Alaska into a giant “Cesspool” - it stinks! Gone are the days when 2-million barrels of oil rolled down the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline towards Valdez. And the trend will continue, the downward spiral with Alaska loosing out as 2^nd on the elite list, then down and down and down. Now the state regulators went stupid when oil throughput started declining drastically in early 2007 and put up an “Open for Business” sign accompanied alongside Her Governess Sarah Palin's hugshot - embracing schizophrenia - in efforts to entice novice like oil investors to come north and develop where no decent oil company had developed before. Believe it or not, this state was lucky when the oil fields were monopolized by “Big Oil” and the little guys knew best to stay away. But good things come to an end, even after 30-years of little to no competition. At least there was some environmental stewardship towards the “foot-print” we leave upon the fragile tundra and ecosystem during our ways and means to extract resources. Nowadays, there is a push on to turn this state into a “Cesspool”. Case in point is the history behind Pioneer Natural Resources, the 1^st “Independent” to brave the North Slope of Alaska, in efforts to waste away the shareholders future. So if this company cares not about its investment members, why should they care about what they leave behind in Alaska? The Oooguruk oil exploration and exploitation project located in the once pristine waters of Harrison Bay on the Colville River delta, it is not panning out anywhere close to what the executive board would like to happen, that is why a management change is occurring. Good thing for this Texas based oil company that the price of oil has remained so high, as when it tanks, so will this company's stock. And the sooner they leave, the better. Maybe with this management change taking place it means packing up already. Let's hope so. Unless we want to see this state turn into a real “Cesspool”. Just recently, Pioneer sanctioned the AOGCC regulators to allow drilling for oil in the “Torok” reservoir, because the oil development from two other formations already permitted was not panning out as expected, maybe flakes instead of nuggets. By this time in the project, Pioneer was supposed to be producing about 20,000 barrels per day of low grade crude oil. See, early on the company's down-hole geology gurus said to drill into the Kuparuk and Nuiqsut formations, as the Torok formation was messy. Now in efforts to perform oil development, it takes a “disposal well” approved by the EPA to get rid of oil field waste, which includes all kinds of things, from nasty chemicals to human crap. So Pioneer choose the “Torok” formation as its disposal site, getting approval from the state and Fed.'s as this formation was at a shallower depth then the Kupauk and Nuiqsut formations along with the fact that there was available a “clay and shale” buffer zone, so the permitted disposal well's effluent was to stay out of harms way, from any communication with neighboring formations. All was good! But with Pioneer sanctioning the regulators to drill for oil in the “Torok”, it is basically getting permission to drill into A “CESSPOOL”. Pioneer created the underground “cesspool” and now they want to tap into it. And this disposal area has become a human waste “cesspool”. Look, on a small man-made island with about 120-workers, with food available 24/7, there is a whole lot of crap to contend with. And with running water at a limit, the crap must be collected in a giant tank and pumped under high pressure down-hole to this well designated as an EPA certified waste disposal well. Yes indeed, it takes a permit from the state and EPA to send crap into the underground. So when the Kuparuk and Nuiqsut formations started to peter out, Pioneer went desperate and sought approval to develop the Torok formation, which is the “crap” field. They never should have been allowed to mess with this messy formation, now that crap has been injected down-hole for the last 4-years, along with other oil field wastes. One bad “Frac” shot in the “Torok” formation, if not already contaminated from natural fractures and the fact that the “crap” is injected at very high pressures above and beyond any documented formation pressures, it means “contamination” of “OUR” natural resources. And this is what the AOGCC should be looking at, instead of being pressured into letting the “Independents” operate under what amounts to be “blind” regulation. It appears that after Sarah sat on the commission's board under Frank Murkowski, regulation went re-defined! Look, I am not a geologist, this is simple dirt mechanics at work this situation. In fact, when Pioneer applied for drilling into the “Torok”, there came no mention of the disposal well in the same general vicinity, like this was an intentional smokescreen “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” manipulatory move. Not to mention that if “communication” takes place and the recoverable crude oil becomes contaminated, it places over 690-million barrels on the “non-acceptable” list, it would amount to a great loss to this state's resource royalty income – defined as lost production! See, if crap gets into the crude oil stream coming topside from the “Torok” formation and enters the Trans-Alaska-Pipeline, the state will have to shut down production, as crap isn't allowed to enter the stream. So the state regulators are once again asleep at the wheel. But do you honestly believe that the state regulators give a rat's ass about worker safety? They live and work about 800-miles from the oil fields and pipeline, where one finds flush toilets instead of having to “crap” in bag – as is the case in some remote oil drilling camps. So from the comfort of their luxurious office, they see no problem with “crap” contamination as the recoverable oil makes money for the state. If I were a worker along the pipeline, I would seek legal advice and advise on any and all contact with the existing crude oil stream, as it is all mixed together once it enters the 1^st pumping station in Prudhoe Bay. See, nobody would have to take responsibility if workers start getting E-coli “gut” sickness. Pipeline workers come in direct contact with crude oil each and everyday of their work routine. From laboratory workers called on to check the crude oil characteristics to maintenance workers who come in direct contact with the crude oil to fix things, like valves and pumps. So now that Pioneer has been granted permission to suck oil from the “Torok” which has already begun production without any increased testing for “crap” contamination, there now comes the possibility that “crap” may be coming down the 800-mile long pipeline, yes fecal matter, because we have regulators missing in action or regulators that don't understand the severity of their actions and inactions, or regulators that fell in love with Sarah's love affair with “Little Oil”, the “Independents”! Yes, these “Independents” are heading North to Alaska and are getting away with shitting on our front lawns and scenic walkways and letting it sit and set for someone else to pick up. Alaska, once the “Last Frontier”, now maybe the “Great Cesspool” state, Sarah Palin's Alaskan legacy!

Sunday Poem

Standing in the Shadows

Such a daunting task!

To stand alone,

in this court yard,

in the shadow of Tennyson.

So righteously intimidated.

Just like that flower,

Once of “the crannied wall”.

As such greatness herein this shadow,

Seems to pluck away temporarily,

the root of my existence.

Pray tell,

Why this aristocrat of the poem,

Wondered about God,

Wondered about Man.

Casting upon himself,

A shadow of doubt.

Pray tell,

This why has not a daunting answer!

As all the time,

The Lord understood,

About that flower,

About the root,

And all and all!

As if his doubts upon God and Man,

were merely a test for all.

Generations then,

Generations now,

Generations future.

Ah, such a simple poem.

Yet, such a demanding poem.

As to know God,

Is to know man.

As to know man,

Is to know God.

And all and all!

Amazing Discovery

Modern day science wastes a whole lot of time on nothing, like when taxpayers' research dollars are spent on theories of “non-existent” matter and energy. See, if something is non-existent to begin with, like matter and or energy, how can you ever find it? Where do you begin? In fact why would anyone ever think about such a ludicrous undertaking, unless on a Timothy Leary high! But it fools the discipline - that of pure Newtonian scientific research - which in turn fools the funding disciples into thinking this “nothing” has merit which dictates writing fat checks – for nothing! Just so some non-gainfully employed renegade can have a job for a lifetime – a position with pay upon the auspices of a non-existent criteria. What deliverables? Image having a job for life finding nothing? Now I am not picking on those that think they can find something in “nothing”, but give me a break. Even if “nothing” was found, what good would it be? Maybe like the present day taxation upon the wealthy class, “nothing”! As I was cruising across the open prairies and tundra of the Yukon a few days back, I was listening to some preacher – a scientist – talk about nothing. He sounded just like a member of the United States Congress, but was adamant that if “science” found this “non-existent” energy, this “non-existent” matter, it could prove something. Prove what was still a puzzle and the radio signal faded away to static nothing before he answered what this “nothing” could do for mankind. Look, today before us there are many things worthwhile studying that would not be considered wasteful spending. A cure for breast cancer? It is pathetic that after spending billions on space programs that have provided “nothing” except some device that purifies an astronaut's urine for reuse which is more of the same “nothing” that we still see those “Pink” ribbons as a reminder of a devastating disease targeting the female race, especially here in America. Had that money been spent to eradicate this menace to society, the ribbons would be but a testament to the past. And what about a cure for the pandemic growth of the homeless population from sea to shining sea, which is increasing at the same rate the wealthy are getting filthy rich? Get this, for every $1-million dollar bonus applied to an American corporation CEO's pay, 15 workers loose their jobs and 2 American families go homeless! Families are going homeless across America! If that CEO was taxed appropriately, that extra income through the U.S. Treasury could afford at least 7 down and out families a house, food and clothing for a year! And I would have no qualms if science spent money to study a cure for George Bush's war mentality, so it would never happen again. But there appears to be one area of research that has found benefit through taxpayers' appropriated funding. It is called “Nano-Technology”. It deals with things that are close to non-existent, like things that are by dimensional measurement smaller than 1-millionth of an inch! Real small. But to be able to measure something this small, it may shed some light into this country's present day congressional mess. It could shed some light into the combined IQ of Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor and John Bonehead – whatever his name is. I bet Bonehead is never to visit California again, because of the ban on tanning booths as a hangout for girls under 18 years of age. And with Eric Cantor's “mob” mentality crucifixion over the “Occupy Wall Street” 1^st Amendment right gatherings, it appears that maybe science need look no further for this “non-existent” phenomenon, as it is front and center each and everyday with this country's Congress. McConnell should be in jail for threatening Obama's wellbeing! It is pathetic to what is going down on the Hill, nothing! It is “non-existent” legislation, and like unrealistic scientific research, this costs the taxpayers a whole lot for this “nothing” gained everything lost legislation. We would be much better off as a nation if they canceled Congress and the lunatics just went home. If we were to abolish Congress...Now wait just a minute, abolish Congress? In the beginning, Congress was formed due lack of continuity to commitment. There was no ways and means to have assembled in due diligence with intelligence a representative body of statesmen elected by the citizens to deal with concerns, because of the distant constraints from colony to capital pub and before modern day mass transportation networks. So Congress was designed and convened to bring representation together for a brief period of time each year, to discuss what was best for the country. And today we see that the very basic philosophy behind representation has eroded to “nothing”. So it may be time to re-think this “nothing” for “something”, called representation. The “something” in this case is the fact that we pay these pirates to perform a lobotomy on righteousness, wherein the scoreboard reads; “Lobbyist 10, Citizens Zero”. Nowadays, with modern technology, there is no need for back and forth representation. I can vote on every issue from the comfort of my living room. I can vote on the run, with modern day telecommunications. I don't need representation. We don't need representation, especially when honesty has been filed under a “non-existent” clause. One day, we will see an entirely different ways and means of representation, “By the People and For the People” and not “By the Lobbyist for the Wealthy”. There will come a time when “Lobbying Power” will be remembered as part of a sad reminder of a sad past upon America. But there may be even more merit to this “nothing”, as a measure of Americanism or using this “Nano-Technology” as a measure of patriotism. The Pentagon has gone on the defense, that it cannot account for zillions spent on the war machine. It can account for what was spent and where, but can not differentiate with any accuracy if the money was spent upon its intended use – which amounts to abuse. When U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Paneta testified before Congress on this dilemma, it is the first time I ever saw this man missing a smile, so it is serious. He knows why! And herein exists the most tragic of all tragedies facing America this day and age. That money is being wasted, through pilferage, robed by pirates, for “nothing”, accept to line the pockets of individuals that disgrace the Red, White & Blue. Defense contractors have found the golden goose and that ultimate hen-house that is unguarded! What I mean by this “nothing” is a no give a crap attitude by so-called Americans upon this country's security, vitality and well-being. The cheating that goes on today, it is borderline treason. If the citizens today realized that we are all contributing to this “nothingness”, and grasped what the late John F. Kennedy preached, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”, he didn't mean cheating! And when we take this message to heart, and do a positive deed for this country, which may mean sacrifice, then maybe we would get the point across and change our evil ways and means that is causing this country to fail upon some curse and if it continues down this path of self-destruction, through a total disregard for what we once stood for, then scientist need look no further for the “non-existent” nothing - as it is here amongst all of us. Why is it that so many feel it is OK to screw ourselves? Look, we are the “government”. I am sick and tired of this Tea-Party mentality that thinks the “government” is somebody else! It is like that “non-existent” something. But when righteousness gets in the way, when inaction causes a disconnect, we end up with “nothing” and there may come a point in time wherein the “non-existent” theory makes a landing, here in America, once upon a time called “My Country T's of Thee”. Bottom-line, the wealthy are the most unpatriotic amongst us. They put on a good show, but when you read between their lines, their true patriotism is unto themselves and rests upon a selfish agenda, as too think in terms of equity and equality for all, to think in terms of modern mans' needs of survival as brothers and sisters, it breeds upon a racism they cannot stomach, and that racism to them is called socialism – wherein they consider themselves the targeted. And in this day and age, socialism is something well deserved over this “nothing” agenda that is causing a once great nation to fall lower and lower in the standings as a Good Samaritan. When we cannot take care of our own, when we feel “war” is more important then the dreaded diseases harassing a healthy society or when malnutrition or homelessness is but an inconvenience to the wealthy class, those in control of the wealth are in hiding, but eventually they will have to come to their senses. So today, when you start your day off, ask yourself what you can do for your country. If it is cheating, then please repent, as that was not part of the contract for Americanism along with patriotism. And we need to give peace a chance, as we need also to start socializing many aspects of the American lifestyle, or else we will be left behind and may find out one day soon that our only shelter is a “non-existence” future! And back to that Newtonian principle of existence, which is spelled out through computation in Isaac Newton's Principia, published back in 1687. It is already deduced upon through mathematical solutions from Newton that survival of any “healthy” modern day man dictates a “socialistic” society! We cannot fight this outcome as the math works towards a socialistic society or else and the sooner we get on board that ship, the smoother the sailing will be. If we take the “or else” route, then we will see more of the same nothing, which means more homelessness, more sickness, more “war” bloodshed, more evil all around. Now who in hell would want more of this?

Sunday Thought

They say you can’t take it with you, when you are invited through the Creator’s gate, but if I could, I would, my dreams and my corkscrew, nothing else matters!

Congressional Challenge

I have a challenge, for Congress. Live off the hog – a.k.a. American Taxpayers' loot – for the remainder of the 2011 year, 112^th session. Enjoy your caviar and Don Perignon. Enjoy your vacations abroad, even if disguised as a fact finding mission. What I mean by this is those from the representative body that visit the troops in uniform for a few hours then spend several days recuperating on some exotic beach front drinking gin with the lobbying crowd. Imagine if the troops had the same recuperation? In fact, with this challenge you are afforded taking off the few days left as “workdays” earmarked so on the 2011 Congressional calendar - leave with pay! You are not accomplishing anything worthwhile to begin with on the Hill, so just go home. In fact the taxpayers could save a whole lot on heating bills if the House is vacated now for the Christmas holiday. Any takers yet? Now come the 112^th 2^nd half swearing in ceremony in January, for this session live by the rules of the road. First on that agenda, work for minimum wage. Considering that Congress works about 1000-hours per year, with way too much time off disguised as “constituent relations”, that would mean your take home pay would decrease from $175K to about $15K, but overtime may be allowed as long as you are careful with the extras! Just think, with that wage you will pay no Federal Income Tax! And secondly, retire your medical & dental plan, and go it on your own. And in that case, with your income based on minimum wage that you set for the rest of us, it means no way in hell you can afford health care. So you may have to tread lightly with respect to coverage and when in need, just go to an Emergency Room for assistance. Don't mind all the blood shed along with such long waits, it is common place when those of us without protection cannot make appointments. And please do not become irate at those that speak not English, they too are Americans! And when your time comes and the bill cannot be paid, just tell them you are a United State's Congressional member, and they may take pity. But you won't get away with non-payment forever. So you may get very familiar with those nuisance phone calls, every day between 6am and 10pm. No not political campaign and polling surveys to see how bad you are doing for America, but irate calls from the bill collector now in charge of your delinquent medical bills. Tooth decay, get used to it. And that taste in your mouth? It may be from lead poisoning due the fact that you had to move away from your upscale mansion and rent a dilapidated pad, but most likely it is from too much Hamburger Helper in your diet! A healthy diet will become but a dream. Leftovers, even when mold attacks, it will suffice. And get used to having Good Samaritans help start your car, as you cannot afford a new battery. If during this trial period, if any of your children come of age for recruiting to college, tell them to sign up at the local enlistment office, as college is not possible unless they can afford it on their own. And when the holidays come around, instead of planning out a family vacation, plan out how much overtime you can handle – sign up early as the competition is strong amongst the worker ranks. Wow, how long can you endure such a calamity of life. But it is not a calamity for a majority of Americans. And for your good behavior, if you make it through a single year as a “minimum wage earner”, you will be awarded with a year's subscription to Mad Magazine, which can be used as welcome relief to ease the pain away from reality. Get the point! American life is not a circus affair. Yet Congress gets buy high on the hog, and somebody down low must pay for that “High”. We are not your servants and in retrospect, I believe it is the other way around. What happened? And minimum wage is one of those thorns still, in America's side, like the practice of Voodoo is what they preach. So there will come no takers this challenge, as the members of Congress get it way over the “Don't Get It” sentiment, and have more deserving things to accomplish, like spending all the time disenfranchising America some more and more then some more again!

Jericho Showdown

There appears to be a showdown, on Wall Street. I have dubbed it “Tear Down this Wall Twenty-Eleven”. Akin to Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down this Wall" challenge, made to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev – with respect to the Berlin Wall. That wall was over there somewhere, this wall is over here, on home turf. Over 700 protesters were arrested this past weekend for marching “peacefully” along the Brooklyn Bridge, the target of interest the “Street”. Wow, what an icon to base this march from, the “Bridge”! Its historical value lends credibility to this march. This demonstration, better defined as a “protest”, it has been going on now for well over three weeks time – more like several years, basically in silence since the markets unexpectedly tanked right after Obama recited the oath of office as Commander-in-Chief following the resentment by the falling-out Commander-in-Thief – George “Geronimo” Bush! I know it is improper to use the Great Apache Chief's namesake, especially in unison with Bush, but this dysentery dynasty of Prescott, George H.W., George H. and Jeb, they know the truth behind whether or not the Skull & Bones has possession of Geronimo's skull. That put aside, its time – this march – it has come to fruition, as the sentiment of anger over misfit behavior practiced and condoned by the Wall Street executives has boiled over, which climaxes with “citizens” embarking on the next right of passage, that of “peaceful” demonstrations. The 1st Amendment Right comes alive and it seems well with the latest news from the “Bridge”. I guess when we can no longer trust Congress to police the mess, then the people get to send the message. So why have the police been so brutal towards the “Right to Assemble” citizens? From where do they get their marching orders? It is suspect, due the fact the “Force” should be more sympathetic this cause, as a majority of the proletariat class has lost something with the slowdown commencing the showdown, so we reserve and deserve the right to “protest” for such loses when at the same time many others have been enriched. Simply put, money lost from my retirement account ends up in somebody's wallet. See, when the market tanks, it is not like somebody is burning the loot, it is just an exchange of hands – dirty hands in this case. And today, that exchange is controlled by gangsters with moral support from Congress. The GOP has reneged on righteousness of representation upon the very foundation they are supposed to protect, the “Citizens”. There exists a seesaw of doom to gloom with the market force these days. Now with the markets tanking towards new depths, like a Dakota drill site's drill bit bent on “FRACING” the peace and quiet the earth below - what water table - of course a sanctioned “demonstration” is justified upon the “Street”. In fact, it should be a requirement. I would be there, but writing from Alaska on this subject matter will have to suffice my support. My congratulations goes out to those that have disrupted an October Fest weekend to make a showing against distrust. So with that in mind, I will try to use the “FRACing” phenomenon as a means of comparing what is going on behind closed doors and behind closed doors. It is called blood out of a turnip at any expense, the Stock Market's new age hobby. With “FRAC” interest across the land, which has led to a Jed Clampett Beverly Hillbilly psych revival movement, is it safe, this blood sucking? As when you take enough away, which is the “FRAC” trademark, well guess what, there comes a collapse! And even though the authorities believe the aquifer is far and removed from the toxicity of “FRAC” work, a collapse will have dire consequences upon the underground utopia. It appears that the entire “Wall Street” is about to find the same fate. See, what is happening on Wall Street and with “FRAC” work, it is one and the same. “FRAC” work is a new technology wherein it has not been decided whether it is good technology or destructive technology. The comparison exists upon WS as with the “Street” , the bailout was the new litmus test. Look, the auto industry survived the collapse by not mismanaging the bailout. Why? Because it was the working class whose wellbeing that was a stake. With the bailout to the crooks on Wall street, guess what? As the working class is not part of that elitist membership, so there is no intent on letting it work. And with the latter intent, that of prefabricated total destruction, can WS survive now that it has been given an infusion of Taxpayers' loot without wanting more? How much longer can it tread water - without another life preserver? Or is it true that those bent on getting more relief to fill their pockets of greed, are they laughing all the way to some offshore bank realizing that they don't have to play fairly? Basically, it has collapsed and the image of investing has been polluted beyond survival. Who's to blame? Now that is a very simple question with a 5-cent answer. Remember when you could buy a candy bar for a nickel? Anyway, “American Greed” is the most destructive force this country contends with today. A greater threat then the combination of Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Mexican Drug Cartel. Our borders are threatened by the drug lords. Our troops are threatened by the Taliban, as is our war on opium stymied by imports from Afghanistan. And Al-Qaeda is everywhere. But the real killer is the economy through home-grown manipulation wherein fake scenarios now finds a ways and means to steal more of my retirement away – their gain is my pain. The tanking started as a planned manipulation but now it has tanked beyond the expectations, a collapse is inevitable. It may be what they didn't want yet they gambled for more rescue money and the stinginess bit them in the foot. Bin Laden voiced that to destroy America, it meant an attack on the economy. He had not the power or ways and means to perform such an operation, but it appears it is happening, from within by our very own. The have and the have-not is what America is all about these days. But don't the wealthy get it? They have no real power when it comes to push and shove. A simple “march” like is happening today has the influence to grow, and for a good cause. So maybe it has come that time in history wherein it is us or them. We seem to limp along without Wall Street, they can not do the same without us, as it is the proletariat class that builds America, it is the same class with class that protects America, it is the class that grows for America. So I ask, what does the wealthy do for this country, except cause harm with hurt and discontent, enough of their disease to go all around. March we must, to tear down every damn wall blocking righteousness and built by filth money and erected during the Bush dynasty. March we must, and remember the re-spoken biblical words by Martin Luther King;

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,
And the walls come tumbling down.
Up to the walls of Jericho they marched, spear in hand.
"Go blow them ramhorns," Joshua cried,
"‘Cause the battle am in my hand."
