Apathy and superficiality? Moi? Do you have trouble comprehending? You are the very first to ever accuse me of that. BTW, care to point out where I am apathetic or superficial? Note that the absence of ranting and raving is not a prerequisite to being apathetic or superficial. >>As for the voting issue, I have addressed comments directly to my >>elected representatives at all levels and have provided them with >>information showing how a paper trail is needed. > To what effect? Any?
Yes, several. All of my elected reps believe that a paper trail is necessary. They believed that before I told them. >>Firstly, by your not responding to the question as asked > Your failure to comprehend my responses does not mean > that they were not offered.
Truly, I carefully examined your post, and found nothing that, to a rational mind, would consitute a response to the question I asked. >>irritating manner. > You are irritated without cause. That’s a form of weakness.
For one thing, I am not irritated by you. If anything, I find you somewhat amusing. Second, you have no idea (add that to a growing list) of my strengths. > The real problem is the subversion of elections, and the abuse > of disabled people to promote it. > It’s not my fault you’re unable to address the real issue here.
But I did. Part of the problem is getting those who make decisions to listen. Your manner gets in the way of that. >>… grasp of logic is less than tight. > That must be why you’ve offered fallacies rather than validity.
I have offered no fallacies as I carefully explained to you. The fact that you had to edit that shows your lack of intellectual honesty. >>Can you actually explain how disabled people are being exploited? > I have done so. It’s not my fault you didn’t read up on it.
No, you may "think" (best term available) that you have, but, alas, you have not. >>Firstly, can you actually prove that he is a shill? > The links provided do that.

So you don’t trust your own motives. No one had asked about it, though. Nothing you’re posting has any relevance to any of these groups, while the abuse of its tax-exempt status by the AAPD in promoting the campaign efforts of a specific party by its misuse of the disabled certainly is. That means that you aren’t respecting the groups and your ‘netcop’ efforts make you a hypocrite. I have stated facts. They are pertinent to everyone who understands that the quality democracy in the USA makes a difference worldwide. You have made it clear that you don’t know and don’t care. That’s your prerogative. Others will look after your interests better than you will. >Certainly, discuss the thing, but the original reads like some kind of >indoctrinatitional outburst from someone a trifle deranged.
It’s factual. Sometimes facts aren’t comfortable to people who prefer the equivalent of pablum instead of news. Don’t read articles which have content which you can’t handle. If you doubt the accuracy of that which is being stated, you are free to verify it via the links. If you can’t handle that, well, no one is forcing you to read anything. >People are abused for all sorts of reasons by all sorts of people, and
Apparently that’s fine with you. It isn’t with those who have ethics. >raise blood pressure. >Brian
May you get better medical assistance with your anger management issue. Here’s the ontopic and pertinent information: The AAPD seeks to exploit and harm disabled people. It offers them for sale, pimping them as shills for those who want to deprive them of their votes. It does not qualify as nonpartisan at all. The AAPD has greedily accepted huge contributions from the rabidly-partisan manufacturers of systems designed to facilitate election subversion. Jim Dickson is a cheap prostitute for disenfranchisement who, in his rage against others, wishes they would be unable to perceive the ways their votes are thwarted. "DRE", or "Direct Recording Electronic" voting systems are defective and have been proven to discard, alter, and generate fake votes. They’re intended to subvert elections. They’re not required to provide optimal conditions for the disabled voter. They’re not required by the "Help America Vote Act", or "HAVA". Most disabled people are not weak, but powerful, to compensate for impairments with which others do not have to contend. They do not want to be considered inadequate or helpless to manage their affairs, but Jim Dickson is claiming, falsely, that they’d need faulty poll equipment when they do not. Jim Dickson, wallowing in his self-pity and hatred, is hoping to use his ‘impairment’ as an excuse to cause the people of America, disabled or otherwise, to lose their right to vote. This shameless shill does not represent disabled people. In fact, he hopes to see them unable to vote, along with everyone else, and he takes that position out of greed. Jim Dickson abuses disabled people for fun and profit.

I have never found your snipping to be anything but ethical. BTW, Ohio’s government problems were featured on a newsmagazine on TV the other evening. Cannot recall which one.

That is the point I was trying to make to DVD. DVD decided to play word games, etc. DVD is what I call a ‘one noter’ which gets stale awful fast. As for DVD, I am finished playing. Back into the toy box.

Again, snipped to make it impossible for me to respond without going back to my original post..what are you afraid of? >>For one thing, I am not irritated … > Yet you described, not what I wrote about, but the > way it was written, as "irritating".
Yes, it is irritating, but I am not irritated. I am amused by it, simply because I have dealt with real irritations, and really irritating people. You are a lightweight exercise. However, those without the thick skin that I have would be seriously irritated by your manner. Their minds would close and you would not be heard. >>But I did. Part of the problem is getting those who make decisions to >>listen. … > When you have no vote, you can’t do that.
There are other ways…such as attending community meetings (two of my electeds have them regularly), writing to them, visiting their offices, finding them in other ways. >>…you offer no proof or explanation. > Your failure to discern it doesn’t make it nonexistent.
However, one cannot discern what is not there. Again, you have snipped without notice, and have changed meaning. Keep demonstrating that level of intellectual dishonesty and people will vote just the opposite of what you would like, merely to be irritating to you.

If you’d calm yourself, you could examine the facts, which include unsavory things, and even come to the realization that action is needed. You fear unpleasant realities, but they remain nonetheless.

It’s an error of logic no matter where you are, though. Most disabled people are perfectly capable of reasoning with validity. You do them a disservice by pretending that you’d represent others in your failure to do so.

Disabled_Voters_for_Democr…@yahoo.com is posting from Supernews, which does not provide a traceable NNTP posting host and, further, is only posting in this thread. Otherwise, DVD is non-existent. And, BTW, you are correct. DVD’s manner will turn off anyone who should be listening.

When organizations try to hide behind a veneer of respectability, but abuse that as well as their tax exempt status to interfere with the democratic process itself, they shouldn’t expect to be regarded well, or for their misdeeds to be glossed over.

So you accomplished nothing. Your reps have done nothing but tell you what you wanted to hear, and no real action has resulted. You should learn more about the distinction between "paper trail" and verified ballots, too. The "trail" can be interpreted as a file dump of the faulty algorithm of a DRE without any form of ballot being seen by the voter. >…found nothing …

You are right: the voter must be able to verify that the vote recorded is the vote intended. Furthermore, the official counts must be based on the VVPB. Rapid tabulation is fine, but the electronics alone, designed, built, programmed, and tested as they are in total secrecy, must not be trusted in isolation.

You were wallowing in the fallacy known as "ad hominem", apparently because you aren’t well enough educated to know why it’s invalid to do so.

So you accomplished nothing. Your reps have done nothing but tell you what you wanted to hear, and no real action has resulted. You should learn more about the distinction between "paper trail" and verified ballots, too. The "trail" can be interpreted as a file dump of the faulty algorithm of a DRE without any form of ballot being seen by the voter. >…found nothing …

You are right: the voter must be able to verify that the vote recorded is the vote intended. Furthermore, the official counts must be based on the VVPB. Rapid tabulation is fine, but the electronics alone, designed, built, programmed, and tested as they are in total secrecy, must not be trusted in isolation.

So you’d rather see the exploitation and subversion than have to be told honestly about it. That’s such a shame for you. Your logical errors notwithstanding, here are the facts: The AAPD seeks to exploit and harm disabled people. It offers them for sale, pimping them as shills for those who want to deprive them of their votes. It does not qualify as nonpartisan at all. The AAPD has greedily accepted huge contributions from the rabidly-partisan manufacturers of systems designed to facilitate election subversion. Jim Dickson is a cheap prostitute for disenfranchisement who, in his rage against others, wishes they would be unable to perceive the ways their votes are thwarted. "DRE", or "Direct Recording Electronic" voting systems are defective and have been proven to discard, alter, and generate fake votes. They’re intended to subvert elections. They’re not required to provide optimal conditions for the disabled voter. They’re not required by the "Help America Vote Act", or "HAVA". Most disabled people are not weak, but powerful, to compensate for impairments with which others do not have to contend. They do not want to be considered inadequate or helpless to manage their affairs, but Jim Dickson is claiming, falsely, that they’d need faulty poll equipment when they do not. Jim Dickson, wallowing in his self-pity and hatred, is hoping to use his ‘impairment’ as an excuse to cause the people of America, disabled or otherwise, to lose their right to vote. This shameless shill does not represent disabled people. In fact, he hopes to see them unable to vote, along with everyone else, and he takes that position out of greed. Jim Dickson abuses disabled people for fun and profit.

When you’ve done all that, and the problem persists, then what? Give up? The AAPD is allowing itself to be abused, for money, in the attempt to disenfranchise the voters of the USA, by partisans. It’s doing so even as it enjoys tax-exempt status. Such egregious actions should be described as such, not tolerated.

Just who is this AAPD? You speak of the AAPD, and cite this in the subject "AAPD = Avaricious Abuse of People with Disabilities" but no such organization exists. Do you know who you are talking about? > Jim Dickson is a cheap prostitute for disenfranchisement > who, in his rage against others, wishes they would be > unable to perceive the ways their votes are thwarted.
From one of the website you cited: As Holt wrapped up his comments, Jim Dickson, spokesman for the American Association of People With Disabilities, stepped forward and complained that Holt’s bill would threaten to undo protections for disabled voters contained in the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Dickson, who is blind, said that voting with assistance can be a humiliating experience, particularly when the poll worker helping you doesn’t agree with your choices. "They have said, ‘You’re voting for who?’" he said, mimicking the sarcastic voice of a poll worker. He charged that Holt’s bill — by not setting a deadline for new e-voting machines to accommodate disabled voters — would put off those protections indefinitely. It sure sounds like Dickson is doing his job. Perhaps you have a personal issue with him? If so, then I suggest taking it to email. > "DRE", or "Direct Recording Electronic" voting systems > are defective and have been proven to discard, alter, and > generate fake votes.

Actually, as the spokesman for the American Association of People With Disabilities, he DOES represent people with disabilities. You may not want him to speak for you, but, he has the legal right to represent that organization of people with disabilities. > In fact, he hopes to see them unable to vote, along with > everyone else, and he takes that position out of greed. > Jim Dickson abuses disabled people for fun and profit.

So you’d rather see the exploitation and subversion than have to be told honestly about it. That’s such a shame for you. Your logical errors notwithstanding, here are the facts: The AAPD seeks to exploit and harm disabled people. It offers them for sale, pimping them as shills for those who want to deprive them of their votes. It does not qualify as nonpartisan at all. The AAPD has greedily accepted huge contributions from the rabidly-partisan manufacturers of systems designed to facilitate election subversion. Jim Dickson is a cheap prostitute for disenfranchisement who, in his rage against others, wishes they would be unable to perceive the ways their votes are thwarted. "DRE", or "Direct Recording Electronic" voting systems are defective and have been proven to discard, alter, and generate fake votes. They’re intended to subvert elections. They’re not required to provide optimal conditions for the disabled voter. They’re not required by the "Help America Vote Act", or "HAVA". Most disabled people are not weak, but powerful, to compensate for impairments with which others do not have to contend. They do not want to be considered inadequate or helpless to manage their affairs, but Jim Dickson is claiming, falsely, that they’d need faulty poll equipment when they do not. Jim Dickson, wallowing in his self-pity and hatred, is hoping to use his ‘impairment’ as an excuse to cause the people of America, disabled or otherwise, to lose their right to vote. This shameless shill does not represent disabled people. In fact, he hopes to see them unable to vote, along with everyone else, and he takes that position out of greed. Jim Dickson abuses disabled people for fun and profit.

Do you agree with what AAPD is doing when it misrepresents the needs of the disabled to help partisans subvert elections? If so, will you actually do anything about that? Of course you can’t answer to this: it’s too relevant for you.

For one thing, I am not engaging in behavior that alientates people. I advocate for access for all, and, in that capacity, have opened up two Boradyway theatre chains to all, and that was without alientating a single person. As for the voting issue, I have addressed comments directly to my elected representatives at all levels and have provided them with information showing how a paper trail is needed. >>Do you know what the issue was that we were addressing? > You were wallowing in the fallacy known as "ad hominem", > apparently because you aren’t well enough educated to know > why it’s invalid to do so.
Let’s take a moment to examine that statement. Firstly, by your not responding to the question as asked, you suggest that you were not aware of the issue that was being addressed, i.e. your irritating manner. Secondly, by your incorrectly alleging that I was engaging in an ad hominem, you do acknowledge that your grasp of logic is less than tight. If I had engaged in an ad hominem, I would have had to have said that your premise, i.e., that voting rights are being aversely affected by the lack of a paper trail, was bogus because you dress in women’s clothing. Since I clearly supported your point, i.e. that a paper trail is necessary, there cannot have been an ad hominem. However, when you made your comment, supra, regarding my education, you did engage in an ad hominem. > It’s not good news that disabled people are being exploited to > promote a partisan/criminal attempt to subvert elections.

Can you actually explain how disabled people are being exploited? >>Do you know who you are talking about? > If you could click on and read the links provided, you’d know, > too, and you could act meaningfully rather than irrationally.
I did click on and read the links provided, and, even though I have exceptionally good reading comprehension skills, I have yet to see the evil conspiracy that you see. >>It sure sounds like Dickson is doing his job. > He’s just a shill for manufacturers of defective equipment > known to lose, change, and fake votes. > That’s not an admirable job at all.
Firstly, can you actually prove that he is a shill? From what I read in the links you provided, he sounds as if he is advocating fully accessible voting. I see nothing wrong with that. Instead of calling him names, try explaining yourself. >>… I suggest … > Your suggestions might be worth something someday, if > you were to bother to become informed.

No, it became complicated by structural economic change. This was as true for high-inflation, high-unemployment 70s (structural problems causing both) as it was for low-inflation, low-unemployment 80s and 90s (structural improvements causing both). Before that, in 1960s, there was a very neat correlation: The higher the inflation, the less the unemployment. What happened in 1970s was that the whole system went out of control and had to be reined in using quite harsh methods in early 80s. > You forgot the essential part of most mathematical models, "other > factors being insignificant."

As I said: Yes, there was structural problem that increased both inflation and unemployment. And while there is still inverse correlation, the new variables, just as you said, first increased and then decreased both. Which offset the nearly precise curve it was in the 60s as, like you said, the new variables were introduced. > Inflating the currency still can temporarily reduce unemployment.

Exactly. Inflated, corrupt and short-sighted is no way to run the economy. Anymore than fat, drunk and stupid is way to go through life. > You are no scientist Shambat. You can’t even identify dependent and > independent variables or external factors.
I know all about scientific method that you know. The difference between me and you is that I also know a lot of things that science can’t neatly measure, and my worldview is more informed. Ilya Shambat.

That’s not that complicated. Humans are just constantly trying to prove that they’re not determined. So they’re doing the contrary of what the theories had foreseen. But it’s not freedom. It’s reaction. Just like the kids who constantly do the contrary of what they’re told to do. They think they’re free… If you want evidence, just look at election polls. Many people try to prove them wrong. It can work once. Never works at the following election (for example, out here, many people who vote extreme right wing, when they’re polled, lie [they say that they'll vote classical right wing, republicans or something]. The first time opinion polls scientists are fooled. Since then, they multiply by 2 the numbers of people who declare they’ll vote for the extreme right wing. So apparently, people are not as free as electrons. Who are not free either, anyway : just because we can’t foresee something doesn’t mean that it happens at random. As Einstein used to put it, despite the Heiseinberg inequality, "God doesn’t play dice". And basically, you’re mistaking determinism for fatalism. btw there’s a funny book about someone constantly doing the same mistake, a book by Diderot called /Jacques the Fatalist/ . – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Which one it is – or both – I do not yet know.

wrong. Actually you should study Calvinism a little. They think that they have a fate. Some are elected, some are doomed (from birth). Thus, all Calvinists are working very hard every day of their life, because all of them ignore if they belong to the elected people, or if they're doomed. wrt Marx, he will be proven wrong at the end of mankind (people will be able to tell : communism never happened. Or : communism did happen. Damn, that guy who lived 3 billions years ago was right (!))

The relationship between inflation and unemployment has not changed at all. You forgot the essential part of most mathematical models, "other factors being insignificant." No one ever said that unemployment was solely determined by inflation. They said inflation was a factor, but there are other factors. The "other factors" in the 70s were from an oil crisis. It was a serious problem that increased both unemployment and inflation. Even during that crisis had the inflation been lower than it was the unemployment would have been higher than it was in accordance with the formula. Inflating the currency still can temporarily reduce unemployment. The time limit is from the other factors that come into play as the economy eventually collapses. You are no scientist Shambat. You can't even identify dependent and independent variables or external factors. -- Sick Mind borod...@att.net - Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text ->>>> Maybe that is because they were never really more than your >>>> own >>>> overactive imagination which I have yet to see identify any real >>> pattern in the first place.
Response:
The doctrine of Communism was based on a single premise: Historical inevitability. That premise is of course wrong. Bush, among others, has shown that it is possible to use one's own choice to break any historical pattern or precedent and deliberately direct the course of history, rather than being directed by history like an overgrown ape. The implementation of Communism was of course completely inconsistent with Marxian theory. A Lenin, a Mao or a Castro who uses deliberate action to bring about an outcome that is supposedly historically inevitability is not letting the course of history take its course, but is acting deliberately to make it happen. Now if you are acting deliberately, then you are not acting according to historical inevitability; and if you believe in historical inevitability then you can only harm your cause by jumping the gun and using your own powers to bring about what should come naturally without your assistance. In my studies as an economics major, I saw this frequent scenario: An economist discovers a pattern; and in the years that follow the pattern ceases to exist. This happened at a far greater rate than chance, and while someone may say that there are patterns in chaos which are ephemeral, it would stand to be predicted that at least some of the patterns discovered would persist for a couple years after their discovery, rather than disappearing in every case immediately once they have been spotted. In my meditations in spring 2000, I discovered something very similar. Every time I apprehended and verbalized a pattern in the consciousness of another person or in the cultural consciousness, it ceased to exist. This leads me to believe that the forces at work are the same in both cases: That whatever the source of patterns, demands absolute freedom, and any time it is apprehended the source has to change forms in order to remain in existence. This is of course quite similar to quantum mechanics. The process of observing the electron demands using a photon to see its place and speed; and as the photon is sent at the electron, the electron is bumped and changes speed and position. It seems to me that at this level - at the level of meditative mind, at the levelof social and economical patterns, at the level of Dyonisian universality - something similar takes place. The act of observing a social, economic or consciousness-level pattern and putting it into words either sends mental energy at it that forces it to change form or direction, or else the pattern-maker demands absolute liberty and mystery and, once observed, morphs into something else. I can fathom both scenarios. It most certainly has been my experience that whenever someone predicts something outright, a large number of people (including myself) seek to prove them wrong; and if it is something positive, then there is still something inside of me wanting to prove them wrong if only to assert my authority over my life. So I have two possible explanation for the aforementioned phenomena: One, that observing social, economic and consciousness patterns changes them at the quantum level; and two, that when forces of Dionysian universality are observed and articulated they seek to regain mystery and control by morphing into something else. Which one it is - or both - I do not yet know. I do know, for example, that when I sought out the essences through meditation - when I approached not intending to dissect but rather simply approached and listened to infinity - I was given insight I had not possessed previously. And what I also found was this: That the wisdom and knowledge that dwelled at that level was infinite; that it kept emanating existents and patterns and attributes and never in its creativity came to a halt. And to attempt to understand it logically was similar to attempting to map the patterns in ocean using Euclidian geometry. So to people who claim that there is such a thing as historical inevitability, I say: Not only does man possess power to change history deliberately, but that furthermore any attempt to deliberately bring about an outcome regarded to be historically inevitable is in violation of the premise of the theory. And, as I've seen both from economics and from consciousness studies and spirituality, the universe refuses to be predicted or even patterned; and, once a pattern is discovered, it ceases to be. The concept of free will and the concept of inevitability are mutually contradictory, and if a person truly believes in Marxism then he must not try to deliberately bring it about. And if a person seeks to impose logic and control on the chaos and the oceanic, the quantum dynamics of change through observation (or the dynamics of universe seeking to remain mysterious and uncontrolled) will frustrate him again and again.

Aleister Crowley himself spent some time on and off in Germany, and everyone will remember that notable conference in Weida, Thuringia, in 1926, where the Master Therion attempted, albeit unsucessfully, to have himself proclaimed World Saviour by the German Pansophic Movement. Rumours about the occult connections of National Socialism have abounded ever since the war, and in spite of Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke’s excellent study _The Occult Roots of Nazism_, which ought to have put a positive end at least to the worst hearsay in the style of Trevor Ravencroft’s tabloid press type books, lots of people still fondly nurture the belief that Hitler was basically little more than a black magician gone bonkers. Anyway, interest in Germanic occult thought has never really diminished in the English speaking world…" http://www.cyberlink.ch/~koenig/fs1.htm [~][^][~] The Unknown Hitler: Nazi Roots in the Occult "On April 6, 1919, in Bavaria, left wing socialists and anarchists

What patterns would those be? I would like to see one economic pattern that ceased to exist because it was discovered. Let’s see. Price is found at the intersection of supply and demand. That is still true after more than 200 years. It can’t be that pattern you mean. > This happened at a far greater rate than chance,

Maybe that is because they were never really more than your own overactive imagination which I have yet to see identify any real pattern in the first place. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> This leads me to believe that the forces at work are the same in both > cases: That whatever the source of patterns, demands absolute freedom, > and any time it is apprehended the source has to change forms in order > to remain in existence. > This is of course quite similar to quantum mechanics.

One of my favorite science fiction writers years ago wrote that while it is almost impossible to predict what an individual will do it is quite simple to predict what thousands will do. In fact that is how the insurance industry works. They know approximately how many will get heart attacks, how many houses will burn down, how many automobile accidents there will be. They don’t know which individuals will be involved, but they don’t have to know. Frankly Ilya, you are trying to appear scientific and spiritual, but to real scientists and religious you are clearly neither. You are just an evil troll, a wolf in sheep’s clothing. — Sick Mind borod…@att.net

Had you seen the damage that program, and subsequent social programming, accom- plished I believe you would not be quite so hero-worshipping of the presidential candidate you are promoting. Take a moment to review the social programs which have been developed and implemented during the past thirty-five years. All with the stamp of approval of your presidential candidate. Then find out how well these expensive programs actually performed. Did the anti-poverty programs correct what they promised to do? Did the anti-discrimination legislation encourage one to become an American — or a hyphenated-American? Did bilingual education actually allow Spanish speaking children to learn as well, or as quickly, as their english speaking classmates? Ask for some definitive proof that past social legialation actually accomplished what was promised. And then decide if you want to promote an individual who will – without a doubt – do further damage to minority communities. ’Vote for Change’? Hardly.

Bands Gather to Stump Against Bush By LARRY McSHANE, AP NEW YORK (Aug. 4) – In an unprecedented series of concerts in nine swing states, more than 20 musical acts – including Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and the Dixie Chicks – will perform fund-raising concerts one month before the Nov. 2 election in an effort to unseat President Bush. "At some point, you can’t sit still," says Eddie Vedder, seated next to Bruce Springsteen and several other ‘Vote For Change’ artists. The shows, which will begin Oct. 1 in Pennsylvania, will take an unusual approach: as many as six concerts on a single day in cities across the states expected to decide the November presidential race. Other stops on the tour are North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin and the key state in 2000, Florida. "We’re trying to put forward a group of progressive ideals and change the administration in the White House,” Springsteen told The Associated Press in the most overtly political statements of his 30-year career. "That’s the success or failure, very clear cut and very simple.” The artists of different generations and genres will tour under the name "Vote For Change,” with shows Oct. 1-8. But the money generated will go to America Coming Together, which promises on its Web site to "derail the right-wing Republican agenda by defeating George W. Bush.” The anticipated millions of dollars will be spent in the swing states before the presidential election, said ACT president Ellen Malcolm. The shows will be presented by MoveOn Pac, the electoral arm of the liberal interest group MoveOn.org, with an official announcement expected Wednesday. There was no immediate word on prices for tickets, which were going on sale for all shows Aug. 21. The shows will pair artists, such as Springsteen and REM or the Dixie Chicks and James Taylor. There will be 34 shows in 28 cities. Natalie Maines, of the Dixie Chicks, who memorably told a London audience last year that she was ashamed to share her home state of Texas with Bush, echoed a Springsteen comment that this was the most important election of their lives.

My most esteemed fellow-jW Mr Tony Santana, here are your words from just five days ago, addressed to Carol: "You lost everuthing in your entire life, your Parents, the took away your son… I even got your prison records… **If I want I can get your credit history.** you are the loser.. will be a loser always will be a loser." To most readers, it will appear to be a veiled threat to get Carol’s credit history, in the same way that IF some deranged person wrote to X, "If I want I can murder X", that would read as a veiled death threat to X. Here is the context of your reference to Carol’s credit records – the words I quoted above come from the bottom of the post: Newsgroups: alt.tasteless.jokes, airnews.alt.paranoia.black.helicopters, alt.religion.jehovahs-witn, alt.talkers.nuts, alt.usenet.kook-of-the-century X-Newsreader: News Rover 9.1.3 (http://www.NewsRover.com) X-No-Archive: Yes Path: news.adelphia.com!nntp.adelphia.com!newsfeed1.easynews.com!easynews. com!easynews!easynews-local!news.easynews.com.POSTED!not-for-mail Organization: EasyNews, UseNet made Easy!

Your decision as to which ones to remove from circulation and which ones to leave behind gives some insight into "The Mind of Jabriol".

To most readers, it will appear to be a veiled threat to get Carol’s credit history, in the same way that IF some deranged person wrote to X, "If I want I can murder X", that would read as a veiled death threat to X.

At one Washington, D.C., demonstration earlier this year, a man approached Military Families Speak Out co-founder Charley Richardson and told him, "You’re a disgrace to your son,” Richardson said. He was carrying a sign reading, "Our son is a Marine. Don’t send him to a war for oil." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/200… Published on Friday, October 24, 2003 by the San Francisco Chronicle War Splits Military Families The Moral Authority Military Parents Lend to the Peace Movement Comes at a Price by Joe Garofoli The first thing Anne Roesler does every morning is check the Internet for news of the 82nd Airborne. It’s the same anxious routine followed by thousands of American parents with children stationed in Iraq. But with Roesler there’s one major difference: Anne Roesler holds a picture of her son while framed by a sign made for a San Francisco peace rally in February. She passionately opposes the war fought by her son, an Army staff sergeant with the 82nd Airborne Division. If most military parents are consoled by "support our troops" patriotism, Roesler and others opposed to the U.S. occupation say theirs is a special isolation. Yes, they support the troops. But when they oppose the war, some people question not just their loyalty to their country, but also to their children. Roesler was communicating with other Bay Area military parents until the war started. "And then several of them felt that we had to close ranks (and support the Bush administration) because that was what patriotism was all about," Roesler said. "And I said, ‘Absolutely not. That’s not what patriotism means to me.’ " On Saturday, Roesler will join a small contingent of military parents in an anti-war march in San Francisco. The event begins with a rally at 11 a.m. in Civic Center, followed by a march to Jefferson Square Park. Along with a demonstration Saturday in Washington, D.C., it figures to be one of the largest protests since the war began in March. Both demonstrations are drawing energy from parents and spouses who go to the mailbox each morning hoping to see a letter from Iraq, and go to bed each night dreading a knock at the door. In recent months, hundreds have joined organizations like Military Families Speak Out and the newly formed Bring Them Home Now. Several parents have publicly shared the demoralization, fear and concern gleaned from letters and calls from their children in Iraq. A Pennsylvania mother made headlines in September by shopping for body armor for her son after hearing that the Pentagon wouldn’t be able to supply every soldier with updated vests until December. Yet the moral authority that the voice of the military parent lends to the peace movement comes with a price. "There is a social pressure not to speak out,” said Judith Ross, a 57- year-old San Franciscan with a son in the Marines. She is organizing a contingent of families for Saturday’s demonstration, but like many military parents, she asked that her son’s name not be used so backlash about her activism wouldn’t touch him. At one Washington, D.C., demonstration earlier this year, a man approached Military Families Speak Out co-founder Charley Richardson and told him, "You’re a disgrace to your son,” Richardson said. He was carrying a sign reading, "Our son is a Marine. Don’t send him to a war for oil." Asked how his son feels about his activism, Richardson said, "We don’t speak for him, but he supports our right to speak out." In Saratoga, Roesler also asks that her son’s name not be used. But otherwise, her heart races and mind wanders just like any other parent with a child in combat. Anxiety nearly paralyzed her from the moment her 25-year-old landed in the Middle East in February until the first time he called her in June. Her son is not a letter-writer; the only note he has sent was scribbled on the back of an MRE box shortly before the U.S. invasion in March. Roesler began sobbing as she recalled the few lines on the back of the makeshift postcard. "He just said, ‘I’m OK, I’m going to be OK, I’ll be home soon,’ " Roesler said. "But I live in fear of getting that knock on the door. I don’t know what my life would be like without him, but I refuse to believe that anything bad is going to happen to him." The 50-year-old Roesler grew up in a military family. Her father was wounded in World War II, and her grandfather fought in World War I. Now, however, her home office is covered with peace banners, bumper stickers and a photo of her son in uniform. When her son said he wanted to join the military, she wasn’t happy and she told him so. He didn’t need money for college, but felt he needed to have more structure and discipline in his life. Eventually, Roesler understood that and respected his reasons for enlisting. Likewise, she said, her son respects her activism; he has since he was in the fifth grade. That’s when somebody asked him what his mother did for a living. He responded, "She wants to save the world." "And it’s become a family joke since then,” Roesler said. "Everybody says I want to save the world." Lately, she says, she’s noticed a change in her son in the phone calls she gets from him every five weeks or so. He’s been having tea with Iraqi families, trying to understand their culture and the source of the differences between the United States and Iraq. He’s told his mother that after his hitch is over in 2007, he wants to return to the Middle East as a civilian to help the two cultures understand each other better and "prevent all this miscommunication that leads to war," Roesler said. Jane Bright’s son joined the military three years ago for many of the same reasons as Roesler’s son. The discipline. The structure. A natural leader, Evan Ashcraft was promoted quickly, rising to the rank of sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division. A year ago, his mother began attending anti-war demonstrations in Los Angeles, where she lives, hoping to keep the war from starting and stop her son from being sent to fight it. When she failed and Ashcraft was sent overseas, she continued to lobby to bring American soldiers home. Mother and son never discussed her protests; she didn’t want her son to feel that she disagreed with what he was doing. On July 24, the Jeep in which Ashcraft was riding was ambushed by a grenade attack. Ashcraft died instantly, leaving behind his wife of three years. He was supposed to come home this month. A few weeks after Ashcraft’s death, the military sent home the contents of his pockets to his wife. "I don’t want to know what was in there,” Bright said. "I can’t. It’s too poignant." Instead, she will honor his memory by continuing to speak out against the war that killed her son. No matter what other people say to her. "To me," Bright said, "supporting the troops means bringing them home now. ”

Question:
The degree to which Kennedy’s Exec. Order pre-ordained his death may never be known. Actually it is. The evidence clearly points to the assasination being the work of one man with no connection to this subject. Therefore the order had nothing to do with his death.
A duly empanelled jury ("Hunt v. Liberty Lobby") determined that the CIA committed the assassination of President Kennedy. Those who dispute that judgement in this "Nation of Laws" are fascist collaborators or benighted philistine ignoramuses. Ample, incontrovertible evidence indicates George H. W. Bus(c)h was also an accomplice to the crime. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – One thing we do know, however, is its signing occurred barely 4 1/2 months before he was slain. We also know, that money is the real god in this country, and the real power lies in control of the monetary system. Hence, JFK’s Exec. order could easily have been seen as a bid to grab real power, from the group that was barely voted in in December 1913 ( with most members of Congress already gone for Xmas holidays).

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – MIT Professor Noam Chomsky’s Ties to the Military by Bob Feldman http://www.conspiracyplanet.com/channel.cfm?channelid=109&contentid=678 "In 1955, Chomsky’s friend Roman Jakobson arranged for him to work as a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chomsky, in his own words, `had no identifiable field or credentials in anything’, but MIT, `a scientific university which didn’t care much about credentials,’ was willing to overlook his lack of certifiable `professional competence’. Chomsky was made an assistant professor and assigned, ironically, to a machine translation project of the type he had often criticized. The project was directed by Victor Yngve and was being conducted at the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, which was subsidized by the U.S. military. "…He was…interviewed by laboratory director Jerome Wiesner for the position…Chomsky was hired as a full-time faculty member, which meant that he was required to spend half his time working in the research lab…Here, his ASPECTS OF THE THEORY OF SYNTAX was hatched…The funding for the research published in ASPECTS was provided by `the Joint Services Electronics Program (U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force), the Electronics Systems Division of the U.S. Air Force, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and NASA…" (from NOAM CHOMSKY: A Life of Dissent by Robert Barsky). Jerome Weisner later became the head of JFK’s Science Advisory Committee during the early 1960s; and according to the 1965 annual report of the Ford Foundation-subsidized Institute for Defense Analyses Pentagon weapons-research think-tank, Jerome Weisner was an Adviser to IDA’s Jason Division group of university professors who performed counter-insurgency, Vietnam War-related weapons research every summer during the 1960s Viet Nam War Era. When students shut down Columbia University in 1968 in support of the demand that Columbia resign its institutional membership in IDA, MIT Professor Chomsky constructed a left anti-war rationalization for opposing the Columbia student revolt – but he did not disclose at the time that an IDA Jason Division consultant, Jerome Weisner, was the person who hired him as an MIT professor and military lab researcher during the McCarthy Era. As Barsky also notes in his NOAM CHOMSKY: A Life of Dissent book: "While he admired `the challenge to the universities’ that the students were so vehemently presenting, Chomsky thought their rebellions were `largely misguided,’ and he `criticized [them] as they were in progress at Berkeley (1966) and Columbia (1968) particularly." Today, of course, MIT is still the 12th-largest recipient of U.S. Air Force war research contracts and among the top recipients of U.S. Air Force war research contracts. Also, there doesn’t appear to be any reference to the $350,000 Inamori Foundation/Kyoto Prize grant that was given to MIT Professor Chomsky in the late 1980s, in the index of the Barsky biography of him. The reference to the military links is also in CAMPUS, INC.: Corporate Power in the Ivory Tower, edited by Geoffry D. White,. In an interview in the last chapter, MIT Professor Chomsky says: "…The universities did receive large-scale subsidies, quite often under the cover of defense. "I happened to be on a committee that was set up to investigate these matters about thirty years ago. It was the first such committee for me as a result of student activism that was concerned about the reliance of MIT on military spending, what it meant, and so on. So there was a faculty/student committee set up and I was asked to be on it, and I think it was the firstreview ever of MIT fundidng…My memory is that at that time, about half of MIT’s income came from two military laboratories. These were secret laboratories. One was Lincoln Labs and one then called the I Labs, now the Draper Labs, which at the time was working on guidance systems for intercontinental missiles and that sort of thing. These were secret labs and that was approximately half of the income. And, of course, that income in all kinds of ways filtered into the university through library funds and health funds and so on. Nobody knew the bookkeeping details and nobody cared much, but it was an indirect subsidy to the university. "The other half, the academic budget, I think it was about 90 percent Pentagon funded at that time. And I personally was right in the middle of it. I was in a military lab. If you take a look at my early publications,they all say something about Air Force, Navy, and so on, because I was in a military lab, the Research Lab for Electronics. But in fact, even if you were in the music department, you were, in effect, being funded by the Pentagon because there wouldn’t have been a music department unless therewas funding for, say, electrical engineering. If there was, then you coulddribble some off to the music department. So, in fact, everybody wasPentagon funded no matter whatever the bookkeeping notices said. "Well, it’s important to recognize that during that period, the university was extremely free. The lab where I was working, the research lab for electronics, was also one of the centers of anti-Vietnam War resistance. We were organizing national tax resistance and the support groups for draft resistance were based there to a large extent. I mean, I, myself, was in a jail repeatedly at the time. It didn’t make any difference. The Pentagon didn’t care. In fact, they didn’t care at all as far as I knew. "Their function, they understood very well, is to provide the cover for the development of the science and technology in the future so that the corporate system can profit. GW: So they were just too big and powerful to be threatened. You were too minor of a threat? MIT Professor Chomsky: "They just didn’t care. What happened at the administrative level I didn’t know, but nothing ever got to us. I hadperfectly good relations with the administration. In fact, I’d tell them if I knew I was going to get arrested. I had no particular interest in embarrassing them, but it didn’t matter. GW: Okay, but before things started shifting more and more to corporate funding, are you saying that when the funding came from the Pentagon it was completely `free’? MIT Professor Chomsky: "Overwhelmingly it was free. You could do pretty much waht you wanted. And there was nothing secret on campus. In fact, we investigated secrecy specifically in the committee. Although it was regarded in the government as military-related work, there was virtually nothing that was secret. In fact, the parts that were secret were mostly an impediment to research. It wasn’t because anybody wanted it (secrecy), it was just some technical detail that hadn’t been ironed out. You could do what you wanted in your personal and political life, and also in your academic and professional life, wihtin a broad range. It [MIT] must’ve been one of the most free universities in the world. GW: Who had access to the results of all this work and research? MIT Professor Chomsky: "But that’s a joke. I remember a discussion once with the head of the instrumentation lab, which was the lab that was working on guidance stystems for intercontinental missiles. Of course it was all classified, but he said that from his point of view, he woul be perfectly happy to declassify everything and give the books to the Russians and the Chinese. He said they can’t do anything with them anyway. They don’t have the industrial capacity to use the technology that we’re developing. So thewhole effect of the classification system was to impede communication amongthe American scientists. GW: With what result? MIT Professor Chomsky: "Well, nothing, I mean, they kept that system classified and sort of spun it off, it’s now a secret lab, independent ofMIT. But, in answer to your question, right now, for example, there’s anagency in the Pentagon, DARPA, the Defense Advance Research Project Agency,which has been the center of innovation for many years. It’s where theInternet comes from. .." Of course, what MIT’s Chomsky is failing to disclose in this interview is that if you check out MIT’s web site and the Draper Lab web site, the military research that’s going on today at MIT LIncoln Laboratory and Draper Lab is related to space warfare technology development. And DARPA is more about developing the weapons technology that’s been used during the last few years than just doing "Internet" research. The MIT LIncoln Laboratory web site states, for instance: "MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Suface Surveillance Program develops advanced technology for detecting and identifying vehicles and facilities on and beneath the surfacein wide-area, heavily cluttered and electronically hostile battlefields. MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed clutter cancellation technology that isused in today’s airborne surveillance systems…We are developing technologycapable of detecting and tracking moving targets that are partially or fullyobscured by foliage." And Draper Lab President Vincent Vitto said in 2001: "Draper’s core work remains focused on the development of innovative solutions for theDepartment of Defense’s future technology needs…. These areas includeprecision targeting and weapons systems…"

Jerome Weisner later became the head of JFK’s Science Advisory Committee during the early 1960s; and according to the 1965 annual report of the Ford Foundation-subsidized Institute for Defense Analyses Pentagon weapons-research think-tank, Jerome Weisner was an Adviser to IDA’s Jason Division group of university professors who performed counter-insurgency, Vietnam War-related weapons research every summer during the 1960s Viet Nam War Era. When students shut down Columbia University in 1968 in support of the demand that Columbia resign its institutional membership in IDA, MIT Professor Chomsky constructed a left anti-war rationalization for opposing the Columbia student revolt – but he did not disclose at the time that an IDA Jason Division consultant, Jerome Weisner, was the person who hired him as an MIT professor and military lab researcher during the McCarthy Era. As Barsky also notes in his NOAM CHOMSKY: A Life of Dissent book: "While he admired `the challenge to the universities’ that the students were so vehemently presenting, Chomsky thought their rebellions were `largely misguided,’ and he `criticized [them] as they were in progress at Berkeley (1966) and Columbia (1968) particularly." Today, of course, MIT is still the 12th-largest recipient of U.S. Air Force war research contracts and among the top recipients of U.S. Air Force war research contracts. Also, there doesn’t appear to be any reference to the $350,000 Inamori Foundation/Kyoto Prize grant that was given to MIT Professor Chomsky in the late 1980s, in the index of the Barsky biography of him. The reference to the military links is also in CAMPUS, INC.: Corporate Power in the Ivory Tower, edited by Geoffry D. White,. In an interview in the last chapter, MIT Professor Chomsky says: "…The universities did receive large-scale subsidies, quite often under the cover of defense. "I happened to be on a committee that was set up to investigate these matters about thirty years ago. It was the first such committee for me as a result of student activism that was concerned about the reliance of MIT on military spending, what it meant, and so on. So there was a faculty/student committee set up and I was asked to be on it, and I think it was the firstreview ever of MIT fundidng…My memory is that at that time, about half of MIT’s income came from two military laboratories. These were secret laboratories. One was Lincoln Labs and one then called the I Labs, now the Draper Labs, which at the time was working on guidance systems for intercontinental missiles and that sort of thing. These were secret labs and that was approximately half of the income. And, of course, that income in all kinds of ways filtered into the university through library funds and health funds and so on. Nobody knew the bookkeeping details and nobody cared much, but it was an indirect subsidy to the university. "The other half, the academic budget, I think it was about 90 percent Pentagon funded at that time. And I personally was right in the middle of it. I was in a military lab. If you take a look at my early publications,they all say something about Air Force, Navy, and so on, because I was in a military lab, the Research Lab for Electronics. But in fact, even if you were in the music department, you were, in effect, being funded by the Pentagon because there wouldn’t have been a music department unless therewas funding for, say, electrical engineering. If there was, then you coulddribble some off to the music department. So, in fact, everybody wasPentagon funded no matter whatever the bookkeeping notices said. "Well, it’s important to recognize that during that period, the university was extremely free. The lab where I was working, the research lab for electronics, was also one of the centers of anti-Vietnam War resistance. We were organizing national tax resistance and the support groups for draft resistance were based there to a large extent. I mean, I, myself, was in a jail repeatedly at the time. It didn’t make any difference. The Pentagon didn’t care. In fact, they didn’t care at all as far as I knew. "Their function, they understood very well, is to provide the cover for the development of the science and technology in the future so that the corporate system can profit. GW: So they were just too big and powerful to be threatened. You were too minor of a threat? MIT Professor Chomsky: "They just didn’t care. What happened at the administrative level I didn’t know, but nothing ever got to us. I hadperfectly good relations with the administration. In fact, I’d tell them if I knew I was going to get arrested. I had no particular interest in embarrassing them, but it didn’t matter. GW: Okay, but before things started shifting more and more to corporate funding, are you saying that when the funding came from the Pentagon it was completely `free’? MIT Professor Chomsky: "Overwhelmingly it was free. You could do pretty much waht you wanted. And there was nothing secret on campus. In fact, we investigated secrecy specifically in the committee. Although it was regarded in the government as military-related work, there was virtually nothing that was secret. In fact, the parts that were secret were mostly an impediment to research. It wasn’t because anybody wanted it (secrecy), it was just some technical detail that hadn’t been ironed out. You could do what you wanted in your personal and political life, and also in your academic and professional life, wihtin a broad range. It [MIT] must’ve been one of the most free universities in the world. GW: Who had access to the results of all this work and research? MIT Professor Chomsky: "But that’s a joke. I remember a discussion once with the head of the instrumentation lab, which was the lab that was working on guidance stystems for intercontinental missiles. Of course it was all classified, but he said that from his point of view, he woul be perfectly happy to declassify everything and give the books to the Russians and the Chinese. He said they can’t do anything with them anyway. They don’t have the industrial capacity to use the technology that we’re developing. So thewhole effect of the classification system was to impede communication amongthe American scientists. GW: With what result?

If you like this, you’ll love his gallant defense of women who stuff pillows under their dresses to simulate pregnancy, and cold-bloodedly "reduce" their pregnancies, then whine about how sad they are – so sad that they lie to their husbands and refer to their aborted baybees by number. Steve’s such a religious man he can’t even talk about it, and such a selfless humanitarian and fine judge of character that he takes it upon himself to sort and label women, so folks can see clearly who the wacko, deluded ones are. Enjoy! Laura Sure Laura, life is a giant Ponzi scheme except for you and the true believers who believe like you. Perhaps you should start your own religion? I’d suggest that you stay away from spaceships, cloning, and small, well-armed compounds in rural areas; those ideas have been taken already and you wouldn’t want to be a copycat.
No, but you would. In more ways than one. I’ve no interest in being part of any religion or cult. If *you* do, feel free to declare and defend your beliefs. If you prefer not to share your own opinions and beliefs, it seems cowardly and hypocritical to publicly attack individuals whose beliefs differ from yours. How is anyone to know where you’re coming from if you don’t say? Too bad you didn’t stick around in alt.a last time; otherwise you’d know the answer already. Google, please!
Why should I waste my time trying to defend you? That’s your job. I don’t give a damn if you look like what you are. You’re either willing to declare your beliefs as you attack mine, or you’re not. Obviously, you’re not. If you can’t accept that some of us don’t need authority figures telling us what to think and feel and believe, that’s not my problem – unless you’d like to start the ball rolling on another Inquisition, in which case that’s everyone’s problem. Sorry, sweetie, you’re one of the few potential Inquisitors around here, along with Di. And we all know whom you’d put the thumbscrews on and why!
Hmmm, very interesting. You believe you’re a "we" and that this "we" all know something they are unable or unwilling to state about thumbscrews put on unspecified others? Would you – I mean, y’all – like to lie on my couch and tell me about it, starting with your earliest recollections? Then again, since you’ve previously declared yourself to be anti-religious and have been anti-adoption, it just might be an accurate descriptor of who you are. What have I said about myself in regard to religion other than that I’m not religious? You’re skating on mighty thin ice here, as usual, and on my pond. Have you no boundaries? Nah!
That explains why you don’t respect other people’s. That and the fact that you suffer from multiple personality disorder. Do you think everyone here is an imbecile who needs you to explain my beliefs and opinions to them? Now don’t go picking on Jackie like that! :-)
Why would I pick on Jackie? She’s not the patronizing, hypocritical control freak. I’m talking to you. You’re the one who attacks others’ beliefs but lacks the guts to declare his own. And here you go, slapping on that idiotic "anti-adoption" label, … For starters, it’s accurate. You’re against adoption. How many posts have you made over the past ten years?
I don’t know, Steve. You’re the one who’s been poring over my posts for years and calling me "anti-adoption." It’s up to you and your like-minded friends to define your terms and prove your points before your credibility gets flushed down the toilet. You even made a video.
I was interviewed for a video documentary in which activist mothers express their concerns about dehumanizing adoption language and harmful conflicts of interest in adoption practice. Does this mean we have to turn in our genuine plastic glow-in-the-dark official Pro-Adoption badges? You’ve been doing stuff on other forums than alt.a. You’ve made it abundantly clear.
Yikes, Steve, don’t go apoplectic on us! I admit it. I have been doing stuff on other forums. Genforum and Rootsweb are just code words for "anti-adoption." They’re controlled by biased moderators who censor and stifle the opposition. Their members lurk in the shadows and drag unsuspecting innocents into their evil pursuits. They belittle adopters and seek to destroy adoption as we know it, albeit in a long, drawn-out, roundabout, sneaky sort of way. You’ve been going crazy wondering what I’ve been up to the last few years, haven’t you? As my personal Internet stalker you must be intercepting the e-mails and photos my son and others send me. You must’ve read his brother’s blog, and listened to his sister’s latest interview, as millions of others have. Pretty cool, huh? No doubt you’ve seen the photos of my hunkalicious husband of 30 years, and our lovely daughters and handsome son. And our pets? Adorable aren’t they? Our cozy home in the foothills? We like it. Life is good, Steve. Maybe you should get one. What you don’t like is someone pointing this out clearly and applying an accurate label. Nope, nope, that’ll never do, because your only hope of foisting your agenda on unsuspecting people is to ensure their confusion.
Here comes Steve, projecting like mad as usual. Brave Steve, leaping in with his trusty label-maker to rescue people everywhere from their own confusion, because they can’t frigging think for themselves without Steve riding them like a monkey. Honorable Steve, slapping labels on activist mothers out of fear that if he doesn’t, his hopelessly confused and gullible target audience won’t see "clearly" where the enemy’s coming from. Afraid you might be losing in the court of public opinion? Then haul out the machine guns and try to assassinate your opponents’ characters, and distort and misinterpret their opinions, and publicly ridicule them. Lovely, lovely spittle! You sure haven’t given away anything with advancing years. That was just marvelous.
So you like my lovely spit! I, too, marvel at its quality and accuracy. I sure haven’t given away my integrity or good aim with advancing years. Since the "court of public opinion" still thinks — overwhelmingly — that adoption is a good thing, I’m not too worried.
No, you’re not worried. You’re terrified. You’re pissing your pants because you know that when it comes to adoption, the overwhelming majority of people say one thing and do the exact opposite. And about that ‘character assasination’ thing, I’d … nope, nope, that’s too easy, not going to do it. :-)
That’s okay. I know what you want to say. I’m psychic. Must be the mother in me. You and men like Pierce seem obsessed with trying to persuade other people to think poorly of individuals who disagree with you. And you keep helping!
Having fun digging your own grave? Guess you’re feeling a trifle defensive. That usually happens when you have a weak argument and weaker character. Screeching that you’re somehow being ‘misinterpreted’ is one of the basic levels of defense in political activism, especially when your side is losing.
To the contrary, I enjoy watching bullies implode. Always have. Attribute this to my weak character and lack of religion. I think you just flew into the ether, my dear, and Farraday proved that didn’t exist. Please come home to planet Earth and we’ll continue this discussion :-) steve

I think your pregnancy loss advocacy is very admirable, Jean, and as I’ve said before, what happened to you was absolutely wrong. The connection of Baby Safe Haven laws to overturning Roe v. Wade is very low on the agenda of what those pro-life groups are trying to submit.
Maybe for some, but you’ve got oranizations like Operation Outcry and The (Texas) Justice Foundation who are doing just that. I think their argument is really false, and I think (though don’t know for sure) that you probably agree as well–that the enactment of the laws to NOT constitute the plaintiffs contention that they abbrogate the individual parents’ responsiblity to rear their children. Here’s an article from Cybercast, August 26, 2003 entitled Second Landmark: Abortion decision challenged by lead plaintiff about the attempt to overturn Bolton . It contains the bizarre sentence http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=%5C%5CCulture%5C%5Carchiv… "Cano’s second argument involves a Georgia law enacted last year plaing the responsiblity for raising unwanted children on the state rather than the mother." The McCorvy suit is more explicit in this bizarreness. (And since when does the state force people to keep kids they don’t want?) I don’t have the URL handy tonight due to my computer problems, but I"ll dig it up and post it tomorrow so you can read the appropriate section. Bizarre or not, this is the radical view of SH and one of the uses it’s being put to. For women going through an unwanted pregnancy I do not want to see women get an abortion, but rather counseling in order to seek the help to keep the baby. Proper adoption may be the next possible solution, safe haven has to be there as an option and might only be the last resort for women in a crisis who have hidden their pregnancies.

I think Roe is already destroyed. It should never have even been heard. The historical agument was always repeal not reform, but that was a long time ago and nobody seems to remember the voice of Women’s Liberation. They only know about reformist feminism for the part-of-the-pie priviledged. Marley, what do mean by, are we fans of Phyllis? It would help if I knew what Phyllis you were talking about.

Well,
hyllis Diller some might call her,but I meant Phyllis Schfflay–Eagle Forum, author of None Dare Call It Treason, scourge of women who single-handedly killed ERA. I’m very fond of Phyllis in my perverse way. She hates bio-engineered food, Bill Clinton, and judicial activism–things I generally agree with. Then there’s all that other stuff that make her certifiable. I saw her in Washington last year. She looked like a morticians dummy or something. At least she kept within her alloted time when speaking, unlike Tom DeLay and Donna Rice Hughes and her powerpoint presentation on Internet porn. . Marley

But the evidence seems to be that some women are using Safe Havens as a more expeditious, "no mess, no fuss", form of relinquishment, *after* being counseled to relinquish to adoption. The first baby dump in New Jersey comes to mind. The unnecessary folding of boarder babies also speaks to an expanded use of baby dump laws in ways in which they were not intended, or at least sold. And it’s only the "last resort" because Safe Haven advocates have narrowly defined the issue to their programs. A woman in crisis could call Project Cuddle, or other crisis intervention organizations, even if she lived in a state with legalized baby dumps. I cannot believe that Baby Safe Havens can be used to "destroy" Roe v.
Wade, As a legal argument, no. But as a political argument it has legs. Look for it to crop up more. and actually SH is an option that everyone can live with.
Don’t be presumptuous. Legalized baby dumps are not an option that Governor Lingle, for one, was able to live with. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Marley, what do mean by, are we fans of Phyllis?

Marley http://www.eagleforum.org/court_watch/alerts/2003/aug03/Roe-and-Doe-8… Eagle Forum’s Court Watch . . . "Roe" and "Doe" Return to Court: "Stop the Carnage!" Virginia C. Armstrong, Ph.D., National Chairman, Court Watch The U. S. Supreme Court’s elevation of abortion-on-demand to the status of a "fundamental constitutional right" was accomplished with two decisions on January 22, 1973. The more famous of the two cases is the Texas case of Roe v. Wade. But of immense significance also is the neglected step-sister of this devastating decisional duo-the Georgia case of Doe v. Bolton. Now, after the passage of thirty years and the murder of over forty million unborn children, the original plaintiffs are asking the courts to correct the fatal constitutional flaws of the two 1973 decisions and stop the carnage. Both women reveal in their sworn affidavits that they were manipulated and duped by their attorneys and had no intention of trying to legalize abortion. The former "Roe," Norma McCorvey, on June 17, 2003, asked U. S. District Judge David Godbey in Dallas to reconsider her case and rule the 1973 decision no longer valid. With almost blinding speed, Judge Godbey denied McCorvey’s motion. That denial will soon be appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Now, the former "Mary Roe," Sandra Cano, is asking for her day in court, petitioning the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to reconsider the 1973 constitutionalization of abortion-one of the most barbaric of all medical procedures. The Georgia law which was originally thrown out by the U. S. Supreme Court in Doe was significantly different from the Texas law invalidated in Roe. The Texas law, basically a "prohibitive" type of legislation, prohibited an abortion except when "necessary to protect the life or the health of the mother." The Georgia law also criminalized abortion, but included several exceptions which were "permissive"-i.e., permitted abortion under much broader circumstances than in Texas. Two differences in the Roe and Doe rulings are fundamental. * Timing of the abortion. The "trimester" scheme for determining the time limits on a woman’s "right to an abortion," which was central to Roe, was almost ignored in Doe. The latter decision thus expanded "abortion rights" to encompass virtually the entire pregnancy. * Choice to abort. In Doe, the Court voided the Georgia law’s requirement of approval of an abortion by multiple physicians. The Court instead permitted a pregnant woman to choose an abortion upon the advice of a single physician. And this physician needed to justify his judgment to perform an abortion upon no ground other than "his best clinical judgment that an abortion is necessary because continuation of the pregnancy would seriously and permanently injure [the mother's] health." Into the wide-open spaces of this extremely indefinite permission eagerly marched the seven-member majority of the Court, further expanding the law’s indefinite permissiveness by authorizing the doctor in exercising "his best clinical judgment" to do so "in the light of all factors-physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age-relevant to his patients well-being." Such permissiveness left the choice to abort with no fixed limits. The San Antonio attorney now representing Roe and Doe, Allan Parker, is employing an unusual legal vehicle to reach the U. S. Supreme Court-a "Rule 60 Motion." A Rule 60 motion asserts that the continued application of an existing judgment is "clearly erroneous" and/or will be productive of a "manifest injustice" due to a change in law or factual circumstances. Parker’s procedure is in line with the 1997 U. S. Supreme Court decision in Agostini v. Felton, an establishment of religion case. In that case, the Court granted the Rule 60 motion and over-turned two decisions it had made twelve years earlier. McCorvey and Cano now present to the courts a massive array of evidence documenting fundamental changes in both law and fact-evidence not available in 1973. Because of these changes, the continued application of the original Roe and Doe ruling will wreak severe injustice, they contend, and the original rulings should be voided. Relevant changes in factual circumstances include * A massive body of evidence never before presented to an American court that abortion hurts women-physically, mentally, and emotionally; * Proof that abortion is often not a voluntary, informed decision of the patient, but the result of pressure by others on the woman; * Proof of the humanness of the unborn child provided by such technology as ultrasound, in-utero surgery, DNA technology, and neo-natal care advancements. Relevant changes in law include * Court redefinition of a "fundamental right," which excludes the right to an abortion; * The direct undermining of abortion-on-demand by abortion decisions since 1973; * The passage by the Texas Legislature (1999) and the Georgia Legislature (2002) of laws providing state care for children so that no mother has to bear the burden of an "unwanted child" about which the Supremes seemed to be so concerned in 1973. Because of the recent emergence of much of this evidence, the motions for reconsideration of the two 1973 decisions are timely and should be granted. Denial of the motions would perpetuate the injustice of current law and the deception under which this law was framed. The most vulnerable members of society-the unborn child and, very often, their unprotected mothers-will continue to be abandoned by the justice system. Well should the courts reflect on the fact that pregnancy is for nine months; abortion is forever.

Question:
"The civil rights activists knew in detail what most Americans today have yet to learn: In the five months leading to the 2000 presidential election, political appointees working for Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State Katherine Harris ordered the removal of 57,700 voters from Floridas vote registries. THE OFFICIAL REASON? Those they targeted were felons, ex-cons, who had illegally registered to vote. THE TRUTH? Virtually every voter they "scrubbed" from the voter rolls is innocent of any crime– except that many are guilty of the crime of Voting While Black" in Scurry County, Texas, two unexpected landslide wins for Republican candidates struck election clerks as just one coincidence too many. That countys clerk, Joan Bunch, investigated and found that a faulty computer chip had caused the countys optical scanner to record Democratic votes as Republican instead. After two manual recounts and one electronic recount using a replacement chip in the scanner, the Democratic candidates were found to have won by large margins and the original results were overturned. Most states are holding public hearing on computerization right now. Tell your officials that those voting computers must provide paper trails. FROM http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=259&row=0 Visualize a Fair Election in 2004 YES! Magazine Friday, August 22, 2003 by Greg Palast and Ina Howard MAY 4. BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. At the dais, Martin Luther King spoke with the marchers who had crossed the bridge into Birmingham, the women and men who had faced down Bull Connors police dogs and fire hoses: "We ask a simple question. Do African Americans have the right to vote in the United States of America?" I (Greg) had to blink. Speaking was Martin Luther King the Third, son of the late Nobel Laureateand — and the year was 2003. The elderly foot soldiers of the legendary civil rights march of 1963 had gathered to commemorate their peaceful invasion of the city 40 years earlier. They were invited by Birminghams new mayor and police chief, both African Americans. Counterpoint to the toasts to such stunning progress, King called attention to a cloud on the political horizon, no bigger than a mans hand, threatening to grow into a storm — the racial fix of the presidential election of 2000 in the state of Florida. The civil rights activists knew in detail what most Americans today have yet to learn: In the five months leading to the 2000 presidential election, political appointees working for Florida Governor Jeb Bush and his Secretary of State Katherine Harris ordered the removal of 57,700 voters from Floridas vote registries. The official reason? Those they targeted were felons, ex-cons, who had illegally registered to vote. The truth? Virtually every voter they "scrubbed" from the voter rolls is innocent of any crime– except that many are guilty of the crime of Voting While Black. Theres no guessing about this — Floria voter registrations include each citizens race. King had invited me to the 40th anniversary of the march on Birmingham because I uncovered this racially bent cleansing of the Florida voter rosters. Im an investigative reporter for BBC Television and the Guardian papers of Britain. It didn’t take much investigating, however, to note something funny about the voter purge once I got my hands on Katherine Harris’ computer files. One criminal, Thomas Cooper, was listed as convicted of a felony on "January 30, 2007". The whole list was rotten with these whacky faux felony convictions — and loaded with the tag line "BLA" — black voter. The purge of black voters in Florida was the herald of an ugly new development in our democracy. Where once African Americans had to fear night-riders in white shets, the new threat to their civil rights comes from politicians armed with computer programs — "lynching by laptop" one called it. And now, King warns, America faces "Florida-tion of the nation" — the system that disenfranchised tens of thousands of black folk in Florida would now be imposed by a new federal law upon all 50 states. In 2002, with little public notice, Congress passed and the president signed the "Help America Vote Act". Hidden behind the apple-pie-and-motherhood name lies a nasty civil rights time-bomb. Every state must, by the 2004 election, imitate Floridas system of computerizing voter files; the law empowers 50 secretaries of state to purge these lists of suspect voters. And King knew darn well the probable color of those who will be wrongly purged. The new law is a radical change in our democracy. Until now, with the notable exception of Florida, voter rolls throughout America have been maintained by COUNTY OFFICIALS watched over by bi-partisan committees. Now the job of deciding who can and who cant vote will fall to a SINGLE OFFICIAL — the "Katherine Harris" of each state. Secretaries of states are notoriously partisan offices. Besides the well-known Ms. Harris (who directed the vote count in Florida while holding the title of chair of the Bush for President campaign), there’s Illinois’ office of secretary of state, whose former director was convcted this month of running what prosecutors called "one of the most corrupt constitutional offices in Illinois history" King and the civil rights activists knew the spread of the Florida system — computerizing and centralizing voter files — could only harm black and Hispanic voters whose voting pattern (solidly Democratic) makes them an obvious target for over-zealous voter-list cleansing. But King III had learned a lot at his daddy’s knee. That is, he did not come to wring his hands at this new threat to civil rights, nor moan helplessly. Rather, he would use the occasion of the anniversary of the Birmingham march to launch a new struggle for civil rights at the ballot box. The crowd stood to sing "We Shall Overcome", not out of nostalgia for the old days, but as a melodic announcement of the new form of activism. Like his father, King knows that adversity is opportunity, challenge is inspirational. And most important, Martin the Third learned from his father the trick of shrewd organizing: using the tools of the opposition against them. In decades past, the Ku Klux Klan used parades and demonstrations to intimidate black citizens and Jim Crow laws to bar them from voting. In the ’60s, King Junior surprised the South with marches and a call to higher law, reversing segregation with its own weapons. Now his son would use the computer and the Internet to organize against Jim Crow’s new appearance in cyberspace. On May 12, on the website www.workingforchange.com, King announced a petition drive. Within days, thirty thousand virtual demonstrators had added their cyber-signatures. Through the viral organizing power of the Internet, the petition has gone up on nearly [1?]00 websites raning from www.blackvoices.com to www.coalitionforworldpeace.org, along with an explanatory op-ed that I wrote with King. The ethnic and political breadth of the sites that have joined together harks back to the original civil rights coalition before the vanity of small differences fractured the progressive movement. Voting by computer? Just say paper trail And where the late King, Jr., used the expertise of constitutional lawyers, King III has called on the expertise of computer science professors, those at the pinnacle of American geekdom, to expose the computer games politicians play. The new law to "Help America Vote" will eat up $3.9 billion of the taxpayers’ money, partly to tempt states and counties to adopt computerized ‘touch-screen’ voting — an expensive eletronic con game. As reported in the summer issue of YES!, computer sciences academics have already sniffed-out the rat in the ballot box. Led by Professor David Dill of Stanford University, 300 of Americas top computer academics have signed their own petition warning of the dangers of electronic voting. What gives the experts the jitters? Unlike paper ballots, theres no audit trail. If the machine is messed with, or even crashes of its own volition (that’s happened a few times with computers), there is no way to tell how people actually voted. Professor Dill and the dissenting academics are no Luddites opposed to "progress." They have seen the first elections with computers produce vote-count horror shows that make one yearn for hanging chads. In 2002, Comal County, Texas, tried out new computer votin machines — AND THREE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES EACH won their respective offices with exactly 18,181 votes. "Isn’t that the weirdest thing?" County Clerk Joy treater asked at the time. "We noticed it right away, but it is just a big coincidence." Just down the road in Scurry County, Texas, two unexpected landslide wins for Republican candidates struck election clerks as just one coincidence too many. That countys clerk, Joan Bunch, investigated and found that a faulty computer chip had caused the countys optical scanner to record Democratic votes as Republican instead. After two manual recounts and one electronic recount using a replacement chip in the scanner, the Democratic candidates were found to have won by large margins and the original results were overturned. King is not so naive as to believe vote-count errors are race neutral. In the presidential election of 2000, 1.9 million ballots cast were never counted by tally machines — "spoiled" in the language of elections officials. But the spoilage rate has a distinctly racial profile: The massive Harvard University Civil Rights Project study released last year found that it was 50 percent more likely for a black vote to be spoiled than a white vote. In Florida, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission found that a black vote was nearly 10 times as likely as a white vote to be rejected. Machinery, computerized or otherwise, has made the racial bend of lost votes worse. In my investigations in … read more »

Floria voter registrations include each citizens race. You have posted the same lie repeatedly along with the rest of the crap you are making up. No one is buying it, Bozo. William R. James
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/regtovote/webappform.pdf It’s a PDF of the Florida Voter registration form. It asks you to check off one of several options for "Race". Please notice that it does not say "optional" or provide an option not to disclose this information. I’d say that you are either a blatant liar or simply speaking with extreme ignorance. Either way, you are a perfect republican. — "There’s an old saying in Tennessee

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – it would seem that the energy industry giants are trying to own the sun, and biotech giants are trying to own our souls. Are biotech firms owned by Christian missionaries, or are they just following their pattern of soul terrorism? Perhaps there can be an activism film entitled "Monsanto".

Hey, I noticed you posted the same crap again, but were unable to respond to the technical points I made last time. Are you hoping that most of the other readers here are as ignorant as your fans, and trying to evade the facts?
you don’t need to cross post back to all the groups jay stevens is trolling. check the headers and you’ll see the groups he actually reads.

The Bennett’s crime was to market their milk with this label: "Our Farmers’ Pledge: No Artificial Growth Hormones." http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/milk07042003.htm Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. I have evidence that Monsanto’s own scientist (Margaret Miller) confirmed the validity of an assay that can determine the difference between genetically engineered milk and normal milk. Scientist Margaret Miller left Monsanto in the middle of the FDA approval process and went to work at FDA where she analyzed her own research, which led to approval. In approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, the Food & Drug Administration determined that there were no differences between "wholesome" milk and the new genetically modified version. The FDA relieved Monsanto from the obligation of developing a test for the new milk, stating that there could be no test because the milks were identical. Of course, this was a lie. Since Miller now worked for FDA, she was aware of the lie. Since she once worked for Monsanto, it is clear that the pharmaceutical giant knew of the lie, too. How do I know this? I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Miller’s FDA job application. On that document, she boasts of having performed that very test. Talk about smoking guns! I also interviewed the scientist who holds the patent for that test. He confirmed Miller’s complicity. Monsanto hired ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who stated that the two milks were indistinguishable. After such confirmation from the esteemed Dr. Koop, who needed a second opinion? However, I have uncovered a previously unpublicized secret. I am sharing this with you and Oakhurst Farm so that the truth be known about genetically engineered milk.

If you doubt who runs things, review this: http://www.notmilk.com/pelican.html The milks are different, Monsanto claims? Cornell University dairy scientist, Vitaly Spitsberg, owns a patent for a method to detect hormonal treatment in animals (US Patent #5,635,401). The unbelievable part of this patent confirms that Cornell University was given grant money by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992, two years before Monsanto received official approval for the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in dairy cows (Grant #92-27206-779). Who says Monsanto and the U.S. government are not one big happy family? Monsanto plays both sides of the political fence. I have no information as to activities that occur behind closed doors of the oval office, but President Clinton praised Monsanto in his 1998 State of the Union Address. Now to the evidence that will win the case for Oakhurst. The same evidence that is a condemnation of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Nature always finds a way to tame the arrogance of man. One feature of milk is that it is loaded with saturated fat. These fat molecules are not entirely fat. They are actually composed of many different layers. The thin outermost layer is made of protein, and that is the key. While one would assume that genetically engineered milk could be tested by measuring the levels of bovine growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-I, the new patented test measures an unusual protein in the membrane named "milk fat globule membrane" or MFGM. Keeping this simple, the MFGM contains an unusual protein named mammary derived growth inhibitor, which is a fatty acid-binding protein (MDGI or FABP). The new patented method measures the amounts of these new proteins so that an easy test of milk can determine whether it has been genetically engineered. FDA’s conclusion that the milk was identical is more than a deception. It’s more than a lie. It’s a betrayal to the American public.

it would seem that the energy industry giants are trying to own the sun, and biotech giants are trying to own our souls. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Forwarded message Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2003 by govegan Monsanto has declared war on another little guy The following information was initially presented by Robert Cohen, sometimes known as the NotMilkMan. Mods: He has encouraged others to share this information, and cares not about the copying (see note at bottom). Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. It is well known that the defense industry and the energy industry are deeply involved with this administration through financial contributions and other means. What seems to be less well known is the heavy influence of Monsanto and other biotech giants. Do we have any candidates who are willing and able to stand up to Monsanto, other biotech giants, and big agribusiness? "Monsanto has declared war on another little guy. Monsanto is a big bully, but I’ve got a secret that will bring them to their knees. Their timing was designed to create despair and suffering. Their legal papers were filed on the Thursday before the long July 4th holiday weekend. No time for attorneys to review the complaint. A long Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Althea, Stanley, and William Bennett, third generation owners of Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine. Their timing is also unfortunate for Monsanto’s stockholders. As biotechnology is being debated around the world, as the European Community considers easing rules regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in American foods, as George Bush blackmails African nations with loss of American dollars in exchange for accepting GMOs, the last thing Monsanto needs is a revelation of the manner of duplicity that I will reveal in today’s column. The Bennett’s crime was to market their milk with this label: "Our Farmers’ Pledge: No Artificial Growth Hormones." http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/milk07042003.htm Monsanto has filed papers in federal court, arguing that milk from cows treated with their genetically engineered bovine growth hormone is no different from untreated milk. That is a lie, of course, and Monsanto knows it. I have evidence that Monsanto’s own scientist (Margaret Miller) confirmed the validity of an assay that can determine the difference between genetically engineered milk and normal milk. Scientist Margaret Miller left Monsanto in the middle of the FDA approval process and went to work at FDA where she analyzed her own research, which led to approval. In approving Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, the Food & Drug Administration determined that there were no differences between "wholesome" milk and the new genetically modified version. The FDA relieved Monsanto from the obligation of developing a test for the new milk, stating that there could be no test because the milks were identical. Of course, this was a lie. Since Miller now worked for FDA, she was aware of the lie. Since she once worked for Monsanto, it is clear that the pharmaceutical giant knew of the lie, too. How do I know this? I filed a Freedom of Information Act request for Miller’s FDA job application. On that document, she boasts of having performed that very test. Talk about smoking guns! I also interviewed the scientist who holds the patent for that test. He confirmed Miller’s complicity. Monsanto hired ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who stated that the two milks were indistinguishable. After such confirmation from the esteemed Dr. Koop, who needed a second opinion? However, I have uncovered a previously unpublicized secret. I am sharing this with you and Oakhurst Farm so that the truth be known about genetically engineered milk. I am not a popular person in this new America. The United States of Monsanto-land. To the Monsanto government, I am a terrorist for revealing this secret of state. If you doubt who runs things, review this: http://www.notmilk.com/pelican.html The milks are different, Monsanto claims? Cornell University dairy scientist, Vitaly Spitsberg, owns a patent for a method to detect hormonal treatment in animals (US Patent #5,635,401). The unbelievable part of this patent confirms that Cornell University was given grant money by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992, two years before Monsanto received official approval for the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) in dairy cows (Grant #92-27206-779). Who says Monsanto and the U.S. government are not one big happy family? Monsanto plays both sides of the political fence. I have no information as to activities that occur behind closed doors of the oval office, but President Clinton praised Monsanto in his 1998 State of the Union Address. Now to the evidence that will win the case for Oakhurst. The same evidence that is a condemnation of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Nature always finds a way to tame the arrogance of man. One feature of milk is that it is loaded with saturated fat. These fat molecules are not entirely fat. They are actually composed of many different layers. The thin outermost layer is made of protein, and that is the key. While one would assume that genetically engineered milk could be tested by measuring the levels of bovine growth hormone or insulin-like growth factor-I, the new patented test measures an unusual protein in the membrane named "milk fat globule membrane" or MFGM. Keeping this simple, the MFGM contains an unusual protein named mammary derived growth inhibitor, which is a fatty acid-binding protein (MDGI or FABP). The new patented method measures the amounts of these new proteins so that an easy test of milk can determine whether it has been genetically engineered. FDA’s conclusion that the milk was identical is more than a deception. It’s more than a lie. It’s a betrayal to the American public. What I am revealing to you today just adds more evidence that somebody knew the truth a few years before final approval of Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone.
