THE ELITIST PENIS AND UNEMPLOYMENT

I often wonder how many Americans truly understand the honest truth behind the ways that our Government has lied to us for decades. There are so many events, statistics, explanations, phony self congratulatory pat on the backs by corrupt politicians and others who take credit, place blame on others, or simply withhold the truth from the public when it comes time to explain what really goes on that impacts on all of our lives.

No wonder the hot topic of the day is about  the Governments regulations concerning the use of condoms. 

As usual the critical issues facing the survival of America are not seriously discussed, instead every opportunity for politicians to divert attention to "circus' holier than thou, flag waving, god endorsements by these hypocrites, from what must  be discussed, is rarely, if ever spoken about by them. 

A decision in including a mandate for contraception coverage in the Affordable Care Act insurance policy can suddenly become the bull shit issue of the week, instead of something more relevant such as the amount of people out of work in America. What we get is to hear the pompous,Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner (AKA  "BONER") calling the regulation unconstitutional. 

Then there is the marketing genius of Jose Andujar, the guy who got in some trouble last year for selling “Obama condoms” is at it again. 

This time, he’s marketing condoms using Mitt Romney‘s name. ROMNEY CONDOM.COM DESCRIBES THE PRODUCT AS:  "Who's the Romney Condom for? The condoms are intended for "anyone with an elitist penis, tax free so even the poor can afford them" and states that they help keep unemployment numbers down "by preventing additions to the work force.This is one "safety net" that doesn't have any holes, and despite Mitt's Inability To Stick To A Position, Romney Condoms Are Great For ANY Position."

But I digress and want to focus on the big lie. The Government, Economists, Wall Street, financial talking "heads", the usual suspects, are all glowing brightly about how the U.S. economy is finally out of the recession and things are becoming great in America,  particularly they point out how the unemployment rate has fallen in several consecutive months as a way to prove their beautiful phony scenario of America on it's way back to prosperity.

LOUDLY THE "HERD" PROCLAIMS THAT THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FELL TO A 3 YEAR LOW OF 8.3%.

Further they explain, the number of Americans filing first time claims for unemployment insurance payments unexpectedly declined last week, indicating the labor market recovery is gaining traction.

Applications for jobless benefits decreased 15,000 in the week ended Feb. 4 to 358,000, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists forecast 370,000 claims, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The easing of dismissals is moving in tandem with a drop in the unemployment rate, which fell in January to a three-year low of 8.3 percent.

“The recent positive momentum over the past two months is being sustained,” said Millan Mulraine, a senior U.S. strategist at TD Securities in New York, who projected 360,000 claims. “If we stay within this range, then we should see employment growth pick up.”

Truthfully, NOT EXACTLY! Actually this is a perfect example of how we are lied to in such magical language, what in fact is full of shit conclusions being used to fool the American public once again about what is really going on in our Country. 

SO LET'S UNDERSTAND THIS CLEARLY:

According to comprehensive statistics from the U.S. Labor Department as of June 2011, we have a  huge unemployment problem, with a reported 14.1 million people out of work which at that time was 9.2 % of our work force. 

This Month as has been said their report and the political hype indicates the unemployment rate is now 8.3%.Unfortunately, the headlines and what actually is happening are often not the same.

I will use the above June 2011 U.S. Labor Department statistics as reported numbers since I have previously analyzed them  in detail and  they are not significantly different than the current numbers. 

To comprehend what’s going on you have to know that the Labor Department refers above to this 9.2 per cent unemployed as “non farm" payroll employment. Notice that the news talks about non farm payroll employment. In other words, it does not include the self-employed or farmers. How big a deal is this?

• The government says that 10.4 million people are self-employed. This is equal to 6.9 percent of the 154 million people in the civilian labor force.
• Farmers about 2 percent of the population, according to the Agriculture Department. That’s equal to roughly 3.8 million workers.

In total we have 14.2 million people (10.4 million plus 3.8 million) who are not considered when unemployment numbers are tallied.

People Not In The Labor Force are another excluded category. In June, 2011, "2.7 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force" according to the government. These individuals who were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. In other words, you have to be actively looking for a job to be counted as unemployed.

Lastly, we come to those who are not counted because they are discouraged workers. The government says that “among the marginally attached, there were 982,000 discouraged workers in June". Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.7 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in June had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities

Under-employed. Who are these folks? In general terms the underemployed are people with jobs, but not the jobs they want and not the jobs which fully reflect their skills, experience and training.

People are often under-employed, especially when the unemployment rate rises because workers are logically concerned that if they leave their present employer they will be unable to get a replacement job with equal or better pay and benefits. The result is that they stick where they now work rather than look for a better situation.

The bottom line:The actual number of unemployed folks in America using all the above official numbers supplied by the U.S Labor department is 28.3 million people (14.1 million reported officially as unemployed plus an additional 14.2 million people who are  conveniently never considered unemployed by the U.S Labor Department Statistic), even though these people are out of work and have no jobs.

THE REAL NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE AS OF JUNE 201 is 28.3 million people which translates into a 20 percent unemployment rate, NOT the reported 9.2 % or 8.3% reported rates of 14.2 million people!


Official unemployment figures of 8.3% or 9.2% are huge, enormous deliberate distortions, lies, manipulation of statistics by the Government to make you feel better.

These numbers are used as propaganda, a slick denial mechanism in trying to stabilize the U.S. financial markets, perpetuate political agendas, and to simply lull you as a citizen into feeling better so that you don't ever understand the ugly reality that our Country is deeply in trouble, potentially beyond the point of being fixable.
 
This is significantly (an understatement but I am trying to be optimistic) a much larger critical problem then the American people are being told, and it is reported in this distorted manner every single month by the U.S. labor department.

It has always been statistically done this way and is not a function of the current administration doing anything different than past administrations, all were hiding the truth.

When we look around and are told that the economy is getting better, yet we see so many of the people we know with no jobs, families losing their homes to foreclosures, credit card consumer debt at it's highest ever, retirement, regular savings at its lowest ever, it makes sense to believe in the accuracy off these government supplied statistics that I have shown above, and not the "official" ones, released by them as the "unemployment figures" . 

This is a semantic, cruel game of fake three-card monte shuffle, smoke, mirrors, disrespect, to fool the public.

The thing that bothers me the most about all of this is how human beings who are unemployed are treated as if they are simple numbers in a great math fraud formula. 

It is so sad, the number of people out of work, and the way their lives are negatively impacted, especially those who have given up looking for a job. 

It is the indifference to the young, middle aged, and older Americans who are suffering emotionally, physically, as their lives are falling apart in many cases, spreading to an epidemic of families, individuals struggling to financially survive on a daily basis. These are our friends, children, neighbors, and perhaps you will be the next one to join their ranks as Corporate America greedily piles up their profits while reducing their investment in American jobs. 
  
70% of the U.S. GDP  (Gross Domestic Product) comes from consumer spending NOT Corporations,not the private sector.

This human misery and pain felt by the unemployed is always ignored and they are mostly good people who are suffering, deserving of each of our compassion, and a Government that helps them as human beings. Instead they are ignored, many not even considered worthy by their own Government to be counted as a number in a crooked, fraudulent math formula.

THE GREAT MATH FRAUD FORMULA OF UNEMPLOYMENT 

There is no better way to explain this than using the classic comedy of Abbot and Costello's famous "Whose On First" comedic routine above about Baseball, AND EDITING IT BELOW TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT "GAME" FRAUD OF NUMBERS.

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America . ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 8.3%. COSTELLO: That many people are out of work? ABBOTT: No, that's 14.2%. COSTELLO: You just said 8.3%. ABBOTT: 8.3% Unemployed. COSTELLO: Right 8.3% out of work. ABBOTT: No, that's 14.2%. COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 14.2% unemployed. ABBOTT: No, that's 9%... COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 9% or 14.2%? ABBOTT: 8.3% are unemployed. 14.2% are out of work. 

COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed. ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed. COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!! ABBOTT: No, you miss my point. COSTELLO: What point? ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair. COSTELLO: To who? ABBOTT: The unemployed. 

COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work. ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed. COSTELLO: 

So if you're off the unemployment rolls that would count as less unemployment? ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely! COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work? ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 8.3%. Otherwise it would be 20%. You don't want to read about 20% unemployment do ya? COSTELLO: That would be frightening. ABBOTT: Absolutely. 

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they're two ways to bring down the unemployment number? ABBOTT: Two ways is correct. COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job? ABBOTT: Correct. COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job? ABBOTT: Bingo. COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work. 

ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said! ABBOTT: That's the whole beauty of it. And now you know why the unemployment figures are NOT improving!

By now, hopefully you understand the fraud of the monthly unemployment figures and more importantly the suffering of human beings that are being deliberately ignored so that those in power can continue to avoid doing anything meaningful to help our Country. 

That is why Condoms is "their" perfect topic of this week to use in deflecting from the truth. The week before it was who believed the most in god among the Presidential candidates, and next week it will be something else. If it's a slow week, they will focus on Brittany Spears latest escapade.

Just asking, can the American people who eat up these lies being fed to them as if they are brain dead morons, really be that stupid? (HINT- FOX TV NEWS HAS BEEN THE MOST WATCHED CABLE NEWS CHANNEL FOR THE LAST 10 CONSECUTIVE YEARS).

Because at the end of the day, regardless of what happens to them, the American people, their children, grand children, and future generations will always be the ones who lose.

THE GOVT. AND MEDIA SPYING ON YOU!

▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
CENSORED AND SPIED ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BASTARDS are back. Leeches and parasites who are sucking the life out of America as a free country. Another part of our personal freedom for sale to the highest bidder, business as usual. 

Sneaky, never giving up, the cesspool of Congress is crawling like snakes to screw us again. That seems to be their only purpose in Washington, and they do it so well.

While our voices were heard by the politicians who temporarily backed down on as described in my previous post on the SOPA/PIPA bills to limit our Internet access, they are trying a different tactic in the meantime.

Now these puppets on a string and their owners are trying to sneak a bill in that will take our Internet freedom and privacy away. This would turn the U.S.A. into more of a China, and  similar to other countries that restrict access, and record everything done on the Internet, that the Government deems "offensive, of interest, or "other". 

It is a raw, ugly form of CENSORSHIP, SPYING on our privacy, wielded by those in our Country who want to have total control over our lives.

That we are amazingly at this low point in our "democracy" where those who are our "leaders" feel that they can get away with something such as this, is a commentary on how little they actually think about our rights as citizens. This so called "democracy" is a farce, fake, and hollow, the same as our politicians.

As our Government takes away more and more of our rights we are losing our freedom to do many things under the guise of anti-terrorism laws, phony media copyright laws, and whatever bull shit Congress and their masters are shoveling every day. 

Their arrogance and disdain for we the people is evident in all they do. In this case, the proposed legislation is another disgusting slap in the face of the America people.

It is sad that so many people have died in wars to defend our rights to freedom in America, and the phony, bought, paid for slimy politicians, are more than willing to sell this freedom to their Corporate owners.


Congress is treating you like a criminal. That's why their broad new Internet snooping bill is being called a "direct assault on Internet users".

Bill H.R.1981 contains legal responsibility for any Internet Service Provider to keep detailed records of "your Internet activity for 12 months, your name, the address where you live, your bank account numbers, your credit card numbers, and any IP addresses you've been assigned, whether or not you're accused of a crime.


To be honest, these are characteristics that a lot of Internet Providers most likely already know. The real difference here with the Bill is how easily they could then provide this information to law enforcement. It's a simple set of rules whereby the government agencies have to go through the process of, well, just asking for it. Yep, that's all they have to do.


It's wake up time again to act.

If you care about your freedom and want to show those who shit on us that we will not allow them to treat us this way, raise your voice NOW, start with signing the 2 new petitions below, before it is too late.

ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION PETITION

DEMAND PROGRESS ORG. -PETITION DEMANDING TO STOP THIS LEGISLATION

And get this: It's authored by lead SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith, of the currently dead SOPA bill you’ve heard so much about. 

Puppet Lamar's bill uses Child Pornography as a screen to push through an amendment that’ll have your Internet service provider also tracking all of your financial dealings online. 

Supporters shamelessly dubbed it the "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act," but call it what it is: an all-encompassing Internet snooping bill


The sponsors of bill H.R.1981 are not stupid people. By naming a bill 'The Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011' they have managed to take a piece of legislation that could be the worst threat to online privacy ever and make it virtually impervious to critique.  

What it does is to amend several rules that have to do with Child Pornography and preventing it, the bill itself called the “Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011.”


It also changes the U.S. code Chapter 18 section 2703 Required Disclosure of Customer Communications or Records to include a requirement that your Internet service provider do the following:


It is currently legal for the government to issue a subpoena for the viewing of the information they speak about here, it is  NOT part of the law that Internet service providers MUST capture or retain that information whenever you are on the Internet.

In effect, before the authorities would need to first find a reason for you to need to be watched to get the ISP to start collecting information from you, that information will already exist on file, effectively meaning you’re being watched and recorded, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t worry though, there’s an additional set of lines that should placate you because it’s so very kind of them to think of:

(1) to encourage electronic communication service providers to give prompt notice to their customers in the event of a breach of the data retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18 of the United States Code, in order that those effected can take the necessary steps to protect themselves from potential misuse of private information; and;

(2) that records retained pursuant to section 2703(h) of title 18, United States Code, should be stored securely to protect customer privacy and prevent against breaches of the records.

So don’t be concerned, "they care about you and your information will be “stored securely” so no-one else can access it! But if they do access it, your ISP will give you “prompt notice” so you can change all your credit card numbers, hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband.

As the bill is written, any person under investigation of a crime (or possibly even civil matters such as custody battles or divorces) could look forward to having an extensive part of their life accessible without warrant or cause.
 

What are some of the obvious risks of this new legislation? As many people know, losing your credit card or having your identity stolen is a horrible experience. Can you even imagine what kind of damage could be caused if someone got a hold of all this information PLUS your web habits and log in and passwords?
 

Consider a scenario: Someone steals your web habits and your identity. How do you recover your identity and credit when the first thing the hacker does is cancel your credit monitoring service account and then sends your power bill, bank account, and new drivers license to their "phony new address" they have put down for your "new" residence? 

All this would be possible if someone gained unlimited access to the email, personal information, credit card number, surfing habits, and log in/password to web services that are used by many people daily and are the very items which would be compromised. 

Be reassured that this is in your best interest. Trust your Government and Corporate America who keep saying your information will be “stored securely” so no one else can access it! I don't think so, their track record truly sucks in doing anything remotely secure in the protection of the private information records on us.

Plus this is really about watching what you do to be sure you are not a "threat" to the Government. 

This bill has currently cleared its committee, meaning that the next step is a full vote. 

The bill needs to be stopped, and  Lamar Smith needs to be stopped, for the good of the Internet and YOUR privacy.

OLD MAN

It's a fairly common occurrence for me, waking up usually from dreams or nightmares, grateful that I am away from those demons that hang out inside me when they decide to make an appearance. It's quiet, dark and cold at 4:30 in the morning. Now awake, there is nothing to do but think. Too early to get out from under the warm down comforter and too late to fall  back to sleep.

Whatever I was dreaming is now forgotten and its clear I am back from those travels. Of all the fresh thoughts rushing by, one stands out: I have made it to another day.

We are all a mix of our parents, ourselves, personal beliefs, and the experiences, good , bad, that we have learned so far in our lives. There are wonderful memories, sad ones also, and hopefully much more to enjoy in being who we are to become in the future.

For all of us, there will come a morning when new days like this will not come. There will be no more. So while there is still time and life ahead, maybe its best to look at what still awaits.

It may or may not end with a rainbow, I wish for a huge, beautiful, colorful rainbow. That is my promise to myself.

NEIL YOUNG -OLD MAN

I never understood the speed of life, until I became older. I didn't understand timeless perfection until recently. I always though that time would slow down with age. The reality is the opposite, time flashes by incredibly fast, a speeding uncontrollable kaleidoscope.

How did it get to be the year 2012 so fast? I remember, often with precise images in my mind, the beauty of all those years before, the magic of those years gone by, and it all seems like it was just yesterday. Where did the time go?

There is a certain beauty to life, a magical, unpredictable journey through time. We share those moments with loved ones, ourselves, and each one of us looks back in longing affection at those simpler times.

It's now 5:00 a.m. and the first light of a new day is streaming across the sky. Laying here alone, I wonder about the future. What does it have waiting for me, how many rainbows, what will it be like, how will the next phase of  my life play out?

"Old man look at my life,

I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,

and there's so much more

Live alone in a paradise

That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,

Give me things

that don't get lost.

I need someone to love me

the whole day through

Ah, one look in my eyes

and you can tell that's true.

I've been first and last

Look at how the time goes past.

But I'm all alone at last."

Memories of life. Popping up here on my blog from time to time. There are some things that are felt but never said. Some questions that get asked, for which are no answers.

Sometimes, such as these simple moments I write about; No finer gifts could ever touch my life. I am grateful for that and a part of me believes that it may be possible to have a remaining journey that will be good. We will see, says my inner voice in the old man, we will see.

Congress sneaks it through because they are all crooks, and $ talks! Will it be the will of the people or the usual money buys votes in politics. It's up to you. Let the politicians know we are watching them and they better listen to we the people.

This is what corruption looks like in Washington. It’s outrageous that Dodd himself a former senator is leveling these threats. Our elected officials must send a signal back to Dodd and the rest of K Street that our nation’s laws can’t be bought.

  
It's time that Congress showed that its votes are no longer for sale. Congress must give back the MPAA’s dirty money or give it to charity.

Congress must make it clear to the world that it won’t be bullied into supporting censorship.

Motion Picture Association of America President Chris Dodd ( former Senator from Conn,) just threatened to cut off Hollywood campaign contributions to any member of Congress who doesn’t pass his Internet-censorship legislation.

After Congress shelved the controversial PIPA and SOPA bills, Dodd told Fox News:“Those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who’s going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake.”

This is what corruption looks like in Washington. It’s outrageous that Dodd, himself a former senator is leveling these threats. Our elected officials must send a signal back to Dodd and the rest of K Street that our nation’s laws can’t be bought.

It's time that Congress showed that its votes are no longer for sale. Congress must give back the MPAA’s dirty money or give it to charity.

WE must make it clear to Congress that it won’t be bullied into supporting censorship.

FYI, these are the MPAA "Dirty Dozen", the top recent recipients of the MPAA's cash (data comes courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation's Influence Explorer).:
 

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Sen. Patrick Leahy (Vt.), Sen. Harry Reid (Nev.), Rep. Howard Berman (Calif.), Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Rep. Henry Waxman (Calif.), Rep. John Boehner (Ohio), Sen. Daniel Inouye (Hawaii), Rep. Colin Peterson (Minn.), Rep. Melvin Watt (N.C.

It's up to you. Make your politicians serve your needs and not the Corporate puppets who own them.

Thank you to my friend Ken A. for the shout out about the"YOU HAPPY PUPPET" song by 10,000 Maniacs from 1989 during the Regan era, sadly nothing has changed since then, as it fits so well with its lyrics below about this post and the puppet politicians.

   

 "How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string? How did you learn everything that comes along with slavish funnery? 

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head?
 

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string? How do you manage to live inside this tiny stage you can't leave? 

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your nodding head? A dullard strung on the wire. When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.
 

How did they teach you to be just a happy puppet dancing on a string? How do you manage to speak, your mouth a frozen grin? A dullard strung on the wire. When the master's gone you hang there with your eyes and your limbs so lifeless.
 

Tell me something, if the world is so insane, is it making you sane again to let another man tug at the thread that pulls up your empty wooden head? 

Your hollow head, your marble eyes, your wooden hands and your metal jaw pins all wait in limbo for the man who knows how to move you this way".

CHALK IT ALL UP

Has your child ever written in chalk on the sidewalk? Certainly if you are a kid in America you did it when you were a child in marking up areas to play innocent games with your friends.

If so, little Joey or Janie even you are a criminal.So says the city of Orlando, Florida which recently arrested and jailed a person for writing in chalk on the sidewalk in front of City Hall.

Sometimes I read or hear things that seem to be jokes, absurd stories, that actually turn out to be true facts. The totally bizarre nature of initially recognizing that it can't be real is quickly replaced by anything is possible in the current world as it exists.

When you were a child, think back to the memories of playing in the streets, on your sidewalk. Remember chalk? In Brooklyn where I grew up and in many other cities as kids we used to chalk up the sidewalks to play a game called Hopscotch (Potsy),  or we would mark up bases for stick ball, slap ball (triangle), and just drawing messages, hearts of supposed romances between a boy and girl (SWAK-Sealed With A Kiss), all as an expression of our freedom to do so.

After a day or so, the chalk would fade away, or if it rained, snowed, a water truck cleaning the street,  a neighbors hose, would quickly make the chalk "art" disappeared. We simply chalked it up again, the next time we went outside.

Let's fast forward to 2011/2012 where technology and progress was supposed to enrich our lives, minds, the way we live, think. Instead it often appears that many of the modern thinking in our Country has gone the way of idiots , morons, and those who spend their time focusing on limiting the slightest freedoms we have, because "they" say so. There is no logic or rational thinking behind the "they say so's" who wield their power indiscriminately with an iron fist.

It's similar to the politicians who close a child's sidewalk lemonade stand that has been set up in front of their own house (since it's too dangerous in today's sicko world to not be in the view of your parents as there are so many pedophiles loose who would kidnap, kill them otherwise), because there is no permit obtained from the local officials for having a lemonade stand.

You get the idea, arrogant, do nothing, public servants who instead of working to solve the really important critical issues facing  the survival of every American city, town, citizen, somehow find the time to waste their limited resources on showing how stupid they are.

This is the story of an American citizen, Timothy Michael Osmar that took place in Orlando, Florida (not a surprise to me that it is in Florida, the State of Insanity), which also happens to be the home of Disney World a fantasy land, but the city of Orlando manages to also compete with them for attention. In fairness to Orlando, eerily, others have now been arrested in different American cities for the same exact crime of chalk but Orlando seems to be the most serious about their ability to intimidate the people who use the weapon of chalk.

              THE BIG BUST ARREST

To be clear I am not talking about the issue of graffiti with paint that permanently defaces, vandalizes our  buildings. This is just about old fashioned, easily erasable, chalk.The kind your kids use or their teachers use in writing on school blackboards.

                          

      ARREST KIDS FOR DRAWING?

Next it will be illegal to have children draw with chalk in front of a Government building. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the crooked politicians, demagogues who do as they wish.

Just talking about regular chalk.

Mr. Osmar, a resident of South Carolina, which despite going public in "Newtwering" to the world it's own ignorance in last nights GOP primary, is at last look still one of the States that is part of our democracy called America, so is Florida, including Orlando. Osmar is associated with the Occupy Orlando movement  and was arrested on December 15th, 2011 for writing on the ground with sidewalk chalk, and has been in jail ever since.

 

According to an arrest affidavit provided by the Orlando Police Department to CBS Tampa, Timothy Michael Osmar was found by authorities on Dec. 15 writing on the sidewalks with chalk in front of city hall. By the way, he was also charged in his arrest for being a "transient", a polite way to say he is homeless.

Yes, Being homeless is a crime in America, despite my story about the wonderfully inspiring story I wrote about 17 year old Samantha Garvey who is homeless and is one of 300 students in all of America to be selected as a final contestant in the Intel Scholarship for her project.

Forget murderers, armed robbers, rapists, child molesters and thieves. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and police Chief Paul Rooney are using their resources and taxpayers money to go after a 25-year-old who was brandishing a writing utensil. All done to keep you safe and sound while your neighborhood is being trashed, invaded by drug addicts, perverts, burglars, and criminals. 

Your children and yourself are in danger of being killed by any number of animal low life sub humans on our streets, in cars, waiting to destroy the lives of those you love. 

Chalk is the issue huh, who among us believes that is what our police should be focusing on during these times that animals are preying on us, in a jungle of not a shred of a conscience on the part of real criminals who ignore all laws and have no regard for the value of a human life.

Yes, you read that correctly, the city of Orlando, Florida arrested a U.S. citizen for the dangerous "crime" of writing with chalk on the sidewalk.

The "crime" that Timothy Osmar committed was writing the words in chalk of slogans such as "Justice Equals Liberty, this is not graffiti, It's democracy." No one had ever been arrested in Orlando for chalk writing and obviously, he had to be stopped to protect the safety of the public.

Brave hero Officers Phil Scaglione and Sgt. Ernest Payne  together as a backup team, cautiously approached the "dangerous" chalk criminal Osmar, at which point Payne explained that it is “unlawful for any person to write, print, mark, paint, stamp or paste any sign, notice of writing advertisement upon the surface of any sidewalk or paved street in the city.”

The  arrest affidavit says that this was explained to Osma multiple times, but that he disregarded the warning and continued to write on the ground. So they arrested him, threw him in jail, and left him there to rot for this heinous offense with NO BAIL allowed.The judge who denied his bail is Martha Adams and her husband Steve is an Orlando policeman.

Anyone see a conflict here? Welcome to the America injustice Laws/ Courts, where there are 2 sets of rules, one for us, and the other for the politically connected.

 But at least Orlando city's sidewalks are free of pastel slogans about freedom. Dyer's office was unapologetic, saying city codes clearly outlaw chalk writing.

If you're looking for a tool to deal with chalk on city sidewalks, think less about a jail cell and more about a garden hose.

Attorney Dick Wilson, who took Osmar's case for free, had entered a "not guilty" plea on his client's behalf. Wilson said the arrest is a clear violation of Osmar's First Amendment rights. "I am thrilled the crime rate in Orlando is so low the city of Orlando has time to imprison people for drawing on the sidewalk in chalk."I didn't even know it was a violation, he said. "I mean, I can certainly understand if they are talking about graffiti or destroying public property. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about a guy using chalk to make his voice heard in a public area.

The 25-year-old Occupy Orlando demonstrator then spent 18 days in the Orange County Jail after police arrested him for using pink chalk to write these protest slogans on the sidewalk outside City Hall.

He was finally released from jail on January 11, 2012. City officials dropped the charges as City Attorney Mayanne Downs said that was because they felt Osmar had spent enough time in jail. 

Anyone who "defaces" the sidewalk or other property, even with chalk, still could be arrested, she said."They're certainly at risk of being arrested, but we have to apply our ordinances in as consistent a way as possible.Mayor Buddy Dyer, whose City Hall balcony overlooks the chalked sidewalk, echoed in a statement. Bull Shit!

Here's a line from a chamber of commerce newsletter back in 2009, when the basketball team Magic were in the Eastern Conference finals: "Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer suggested that area business show their support by 'chalking up' their sidewalks and entryways."

Now that's one of the things gone so badly wrong in America. A petty government official decides for we the people, what is free speech, in this case an "important right of freedom for a game of sport where a ball gets put into a hoop by guys that are 7 feet tall vs. a human being peacefully expressing their rights as Americans, spare me the indignation about how sacred our sidewalks are. 

Courageous soldiers have given away their lives, died for hundreds of years in defending our freedom and basketball is more important than free speech? A mockery of their sacrifice, truly unamerican, tragic, and not very patriotic on the part of our American flag pin lapel politicians of slime.

Sure, the law technically bans "advertising." (It was created decades ago to prohibit businesses from painting promotions on public property.) But the city has decided to define "advertising" as any writing designed to "portray and communicate a message."Under that definition, if you or your kids have ever scrawled anything from "10-cent lemonade" to "I love mom!" on a public sidewalk, you guys are criminal advertisers who should be locked up.

But, Horray for Timothy!!! A true American patriot who will not back down and be afraid. Within hours of being released from jail on January 11th, he was back at City Hall, writing messages on the sidewalk about freedom and free speech. Then he went to the Orange County Courthouse and did the same thing.

"I am ready and willing, after a bit of a breather, to do it all again," Osmar said shortly after his release. "I would really look forward to challenging this in court, to striking the ordinance down, so people can express themselves with chalk on the sidewalk.

Osmar said he only stopped this time because he ran out of chalk. There were no police around, and he wasn't arrested.The city hoped this story would end by dropping the charges against 25-year-old Timothy Osmar, not so easy when you piss an American off by stomping on their personal freedom.

Instead, Orlando officials decided to double down on foolishness and injustice. First, the city continues to defend the arrest of this protester even though the city produced no evidence that it has ever arrested hopscotchers, Magic fans or anyone else for the same chalk related "crime."

Just as troubling was part of the city's explanation for the release: that 18 days in jail without bond was an appropriate punishment.

Except it wasn't. Osmar's attorney, Dick Wilson, described it as laughable to think that a judge would sentence someone to 2 1/2 weeks in jail for violating a misdemeanor municipal ordinance.

People get convicted of felonies and don't spend a single day in prison. If you were a DUI or DWI driver who had just murdered someone, likely they would have let you out on bail,

More important: Osmar wasn't convicted of anything.

So it's disgusting for the Mayor moron dictator of Orlando or anyone else to declare Osmar as having served his penance, when he wasn't ever declared guilty.

Forget how you feel about Dyer or Occupy Orlando. Imagine what you would think if you read that rulers in Cuba were imprisoning citizens for writing on the sidewalk?

If City Hall which called the cops on Osmar in the first place didn't like what he was writing, this was a problem for a garden hose, not the Orange County Jail.

You may not care for Osmar or Occupy Orlando. But you darn well better care about government selectively or creatively enforcing its laws when "they" want to take your freedom away from you. We are witnessing in America a pervasive, unprecedented, deliberate, policy day after day of violating our rights guaranteed by the constitution. Whether it is our rights of Freedom of Speech, use of the Internet, Privacy, including writing on the sidewalk with chalk.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. Freedom of expression consists of the rights to freedom of speech, press, assembly and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, and the implied rights of association and belief.

The U.S. Constitution Fourth Amendment: Protects the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"They" are simply selectively targeting, arbitrarily eroding, whimsically ignoring our protected rights and eavesdrop on our privacy, arrest, make up "their" own interpretations of freedom of speech based on their own personal feelings. No different than the abuse of its people by a dictatorship in Russia, China, Libya, Syria or Saudi Arabia.

Your feelings on this blog post may not be completely sympathetic to Osmar, since he seemed to be plenty willing to be arrested, but you must be convinced the arrest was foolish nonetheless, and a violation of our rights as citizens in a supposed democracy that righteously, hypocritically, sanctimoniously spouts aloud against evil countries  all over the world who infringe on the rights of their people, but remains silent as our rights to freedom are diluted.

These are extremely scary times in America as in the name of "public security, anti-terrorist strategies, we feel an extreme erosion,  abuse that is getting worse, of those who claim to represent us in Government and in the legal circus, selectively and prejudicial in taking our freedom away from us. 

We just saw this in attempt by Congress and its Corporate stooges to SOPA/PIPA  away our Internet freedom that I wrote about in my previous blog post.  By the way SOPA/PIPA is not as dead as it seems, it has been tabled "for further Study", and will be right back in our face during mid February.

Corporations are to be considered people according to the geniuses on the Supreme Court, thereby allowing Corporate America, to influence political elections with their hordes of dirty money. I guess they won't be able to use chalk in doing their corrupt acts of buying our politicians 

Remember, writing with chalk on the sidewalk is now illegal in many American cities, with more offenses to be added to the list of "crimes".

Perhaps in the future you will be arrested for talking in "unpatriotic" defined terms as defined by some nitwit like "Newtwit"  is going to get you labeled as the enemy.

Many of you voted these idiots into Office, time for change fast, get them all out fast. Part of the answer is below.

You are losing your rights and apparently the people who died in wars defending our rights and freedoms, died for nothing. You might be able to live with that, I will fight for my rights any day, any where.

How long before merely writing a blog such as mine, , peacefully protesting, or anyone voicing their opinion in public that some bureaucrat disagrees with, can have the cops arrest us, throw us in jail, or fine us for treason? 

Yes,  you need to fear for the future of our children, the Country, ourselves, these are dangerous times for all the legitimate reasons we know of in a sick world, but now add to that, the crime of expressing ones personal thoughts about freedom as an American.
