PROUD TO BE A JEW AND SNAKE PLISKIN

CLICK ON HERE FOR VIDEO

 There have been many stories told about the recent storm that destroyed so many parts of the East Coast. In the New York metro area where I live many of these stories are about bad people who looted, others who took advantage by price gouging everything that we needed to survive, incompetent power Companies that had no clue how to restore the electrical service for their customers who pay the highest rates in the United States to maintain. 

The area bordered on anarchy, with a cascading mountain of shortages from gasoline to food, water, lack of public transportation, sewage treatment plants broke down, pumping millions of gallons of raw sewage into the ocean and are continuing to do so at this very minute. 

People were shot by others for a can of gasoline and Snake Pliskin was ready to protect decent citizens. "Yes, sir! Those Crazies'll kill you and strip you in ten seconds flat! In the Escape from New York movie, 1988, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire country. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. All bridges and waterways are mined. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. There are no guards inside the prison, only prisoners and the worlds they have made. The rules are simple: once you go in, you don't come out." 

We just had a taste of what is to come if the Country doesn't wake up fast.All of this is rooted in the problem that America has a failed, crumbling infrastructure and refuses to deal with the reality that climate change is here, right now. Denial not new ideas, meaningless words not deeds, incompetence not innovation, disrespect of one another not respect, all contributed to one's life not being worth a nickel when it's every person for themselves in order to survive. All of this despite previous storms, lessons that should have been learned, yet no realistic plans were in place by the local, State and Federal Governments. 

All the politicians from both Parties were/are falling all over themselves to blame this fiasco on someone, anyone, anything, find scapegoats but not themselves. There was no electricity and in some places there still is none. No phone service, no cell towers working, no way to get help if you needed it. Yet these inept politicians using their robo call fancy machines called telephones, spoke on Television, patted themselves on the back in the fashion of the President Bush "job well done Brownie" during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. None of us could hear them or see them, probably a good thing, but it was all they could do since they were full of shit. 

Many volunteers from all over came to help or sent donations. This was wonderful to witness. 

There is one particular story that won't get much media attention. You may not understand all the words spoken but you will feel the emotions. A victim of the recent storm that devastated the New York metropolitan area said these simple words when speaking about the Jewish community of volunteers that come every day to help him and his neighbors. He said "I am proud to be a Jew". It is a heart wrenching video below of what happened to his community and the selfless response of strangers from other nearby Jewish Communities who have come to help. It is a lesson in how a culture, religion, and ethnic group have been able to survive from the beginning of time by sticking together and being there for each other. A lesson that the rest of America needs to learn before it is too late.

ELECTION PROTECTION YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE

We all need to get out and vote today. People have died fighting to protect your freedom of having the right to vote for the candidate of your choice.

Sadly there are many States that are totally disorganized in organizing the voting process. Even more disturbing is that many election boards in states, local counties are even deliberately suppressing the ability of registered voters to cast their ballots today. They are trying to steal the election for whatever candidate they are politically affiliated with by disenfranchising voters with this chaos.

In any of the 50 States, if you become aware of any voting irregularities or are a victim of someone trying to keep you from voting at your local polling place, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE and a human being will answer who will try to provide immediate help so that you can vote. 

This is a non partisan, not affiliated with any political party, not for profit organization whose goal is to make sure that the election process is done in a fair manner. It is administered by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

A common voter suppression action being deliberately done in States (I just saw it happen in my voting place here in New York State) is that after you fill out your ballot, none of the election officials at your voting location direct you to the correct scanning machine that you are supposed to use, therefore creating your vote to potentially not be counted. 

At most voting centers there are several ballot scanning machines, but you can only vote at the specific machine that corresponds to your particular streets voting district. Once you finish filling out your ballot, make sure you ask one of the voting officials at your voting site which scanning machine you should use BEFORE you actually insert your ballot to be scanned.

                        CALL

ELECTION PROTECTION-YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE-1-866-OUR-VOTE

First and foremost:

• If you have problems or see problems at the polls, be sure to report them to 866-OUR-VOTE, or at OurVoteLive.org/

• Catch any problems at the polls on photo or video? Upload it to YouTube and social sites, and tell VideoTheVote.org! Also tag it with the #VideoTheVote hashtag.

• Be at the polls when they close and photograph and video tape the results tapes that are printed out from electronic systems. Results have a way of changing between the time they're printed out at the close of polls and the time they show up on the web. Your photographic evidence could help save an election!

• Watching results on the web throughout the night? Take screenshots, save them as you go, and include a timestamp in the file name when you do. Those web results also have a way of changing, sometimes in the wrong direction, throughout the night. Your evidence could help save an election!

Vote on a Paper Ballot!

• In some places, it may be too late to vote on paper ballots. In others, know your rights and whether you are entitled to vote on a paper ballot if you wish, even if they try to direct you towards an electronic voting system. For example, in OH and CA every voter may vote on paper if they wish and if they know to ask for one. So (politely) demand a paper ballot! Check with your County Clerk or Sec. of State if you're not sure.

• A touch-screen system with a little paper printout is NOT a paper ballot! Those paper printouts are never counted and your vote will be 100% unverifiable.

If You Must Vote on Touch-Screen and Your Vote Flips...

• Try to capture it with your cell phone camera
• Call poll supervisors to observe the problem.
• Fill out a problem report.
• Refuse to vote on that machine.
• Request that the machine be taken out of service.
• Get the serial number of the machine if possible (may be difficult in some cases).
• Tell other voters in line which machine it was and that they should NOT vote on that machine!
• Report it to county/town election office.
• Report it to the Secretary of State.
• Call local reporters and tell them the story.
• Call 866-OUR-VOTE and tell them.
• Contact bloggers and Election Integrity websites.
• Raise holy hell.

Also you can call the  FBI Voter Intimidation Hotline at 202-514-1888 or 1-800-253-3931.Voter Intimidation Is A Crime!


Other Useful Stuff to Keep in Mind

• Make sure you have the exact type of ID you'll need to be able to vote before you leave for the polls. If you're unsure what type of ID is needed, check with your Sec. of State or County Clerk.

• Be prepared for disgracefully long lines, particularly in swing states. Your vote definitely won't get counted, much less accurately, if you leave the line before voting.

• If you're challenged by a poll watcher, take their picture with your cell phone, get their name, and then report it to 866-OUR-VOTE. But do NOT leave without voting, at the very least on a provisional ballot. But try to vote on a normal ballot, not a provisional ballot, if you possibly can.

• If you're in line when the polls close, you still get to vote. Period.

• Help others stay in line. If you can offer water, folding chairs, a snack, etc., to those in line fighting to cast their vote, you're doing a great public service for what's left of our democracy.

• Share this list and/or this blog item with others. Print it out, share it via social networks, etc. to help spread the word.

Election protection begins with you! Good luck! You may need it!

LIVE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE DONE-SAN MATEO COUNTY "APPLAUDED DECISION"

STEVEN NATHANIEL WOLKOFF

September 23,1977 – June 21, 2008

 If there ever was any doubt as to justice NOT being served for victims and their families, just read today's post about my son Steven Nathaniel Wolkoff.

A judge has issued a ruling dismissing the Civil Case filed by us regarding the Desecration of the body of my son, stating the the Wolkoffs did "not identify any statute that requires the coroner to seek consent before taking a body part."

As I have said before in my post WHO OWNS YOUR BODY WHEN YOU DIE, there have been a countless epidemic of horrifying legal decisions all across the U.S  that the Coroner owns your body, not you, not your family, not your loved ones.

It appears that the Coroner can do just about anything to your dead body because the laws in every State are deliberately written ambiguously, so weak as to give god like powers to Coroners who then get away with committing a nationwide epidemic of unspeakable, inhuman, horrifying acts of desecration, disrespect, and defiling the dead.

In Steven's Case, without any notice, consent or permission from us as his parents, the San Mateo County Coroner, two years after he closed the Case, suddenly permitted the removal of Steven's remains from his custody to the possession of a private pathologist hired by the defendants American Medical Response Ambulance Company, and the County of San Mateo, California (The Coroner's employer).

This private pathologist, without notice and without our permission, removed my sons remains to her private facility and proceeded to dissect Steven's brain into over 21 new tissue slices, for the SOLE PURPOSE of trying to create new evidence of the cause of death for purposes of using it as countering our litigation.

In effect she performed a non coroner autopsy on my son, in 2010, more than 2 years after the Coroner had performed his own Autopsy, closed his case, confirming beyond a doubt that Steven died  after an auto collision in 2008, because of the negligence of two para-medics.

These para-medics had performed an unnecessary procedure whereby they missed Steven's airway in their placement of an intubation needle, instead mistakenly placing it into his chest cavity, pumping highly pressurized oxygen into his chest, until they horrifically, literally blew his chest apart, crushing his organs.

The Statutes that exist allow the Coroner in cases where the cause of death needs to be determined, to perform an autopsy and examine the remains for the SOLE purpose of determining the exact cause of death. 

Clearly the Coroner determined the exact cause of my son's death in 2008 after examining the findings of his Offices Autopsy and examination conducted by their own highly respected Pathologist who had at that time done over 20,000 autopsies in his career. 

There were no doubts, questions, or requests for additional consultation needed about the reason Steven died that were ever raised by the Coroner in his final, official Autopsy report and so the above desecration was done specifically for litigation purposes by the defendants.

The Defendants violated Steven's and our Legal rights: 

Our rights under the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution were violated by the defendants, in denying Steven, and us as citizens, the guarantee not to "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".
 
California Government Code 27491.45 requiring consent of the next of kin before releasing tissues to third parties for non coroner purposes,

California Government Code 27460-27473 et seq. requiring the Coroner to insure that remains are to be interred decently,

California Health and Safety Code Sec.7100 et seq. and the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act codified at Health and Safety Code Sec. 7150 et seq. which defines who has the right to custody and disposition of remains.

Unfortunately, the Judge disagreed with the above as being violations and his is the only decision that legally matters, regardless of the facts I have stated above.


The decision is not much of a surprise, based on the clueless disconnect of the Courts, Politicians, Government Agencies, Lobbying groups, that sit in judgement of supposedly dispensing fair, equitable justice to the rest of us average law abiding citizens.

There is the ARROGANCE OF THE LAW, an egotistical superiority that stinks up our Country by creating a separate immunity for those in power who commit illegal acts, a semantically constipated blind legion of those whose personal interpretations have replaced the common sense meanings of laws and block the right to have a trial by ones peers.

Those in government, law enforcement, law, that have the sworn duty to protect our human rights, to supposedly provide justice for innocent victims, instead they abuse us. They do this, because they can, it is all about their sense of privilege that fuels an endless insatiable need to wield their power against the rest of us.

This is why the legal system is considered a broken dysfunctional circus of elite clowns by most Americans and there is no faith that the Law will protect us in any way that is meaningful. 

San Mateo County California, is it true as your local newspaper states glibly that "San Mateo County applauded the decision".  

You "applauded" the desecration of a dead human body, an American citizen, right there in front of your faces, on your "watch", in your community. Surely you don't feel that way, or do you?
 

Perhaps, San Mateo County you are proud of yourselves, first trying to cover up the medical negligence, medical misadventure of your para medics who killed Steven Nathaniel Wolkoff by their incompetence. 

Then defacing an innocent dead victims body, ignoring your accountability to his family that mourn with unimaginable grief the disgusting way you treated him, and to the other victims before Steven, and those in the future, for all who we tried to obtain justice, so that this would never happen again.

You "applaud this decision" of upholding the sadistic, callous, immoral behavior of the County against a dead young man, whose parents are simply trying to protect their son in death, as any loving parents would.

To some of those people close to Steven's Case:

You know who you are. Many of you even spoke or communicated with me in various ways.

You saw the same horrific pictures of Steven, or witnessed the actual scene after the para-medics tortured him and asked the same questions as me as to why, how, and shook your heads in disbelief that first responders, their superiors all avoided taking responsibility for the suffering death that Steven felt, then on top of that, the desecration of his body.

What has happened to those of you who started out totally committed to expose the true facts of the evil that has been done to hide the sickening facts about what really took place during the time that Steven was your responsibility?  

Where have you been during this time of despair and agony for him and his family?

You did not provide dignity for Steven in life while your para-medics killed him, and you failed miserably to give him respect in death.

You know all of what I say is true, yet none of you ever came forward to tell the truth. 

Then  two years after his death, you allowed those responsible for his dying, to slice apart his brain, defiling his soul, while you were supposed to be protecting his remains from any more abuse.
 
You know that, yet you never came forward to tell the truth about that either.

Those of you who I know that still have consciences, you are the worst of all. It is you who know better that your cowardly behavior, your silence, disgraces your own remaining humanity, because you did nothing. 

You know who you are. You know you have done wrong, unlike the others who have no feelings, you are the ones who still feel. 

You are the ones who never took accountability for what you did, what you know, what you saw.

I am sorry that you didn't see fit to come forward to tell the truth about what happened to Steven and my family.

I pity your lives filled with such denial, guilt, and the knowledge that you with consciences are more guilty than the evil clueless ones, don't fool yourself, you are no different than any of the others.

You knew better. You understand what your silence, lies, indifference  and compromises did to make my sons life and future innocent victims in your County, such as him, reduced to cheap disposable lives. 

You could have come forward  with the truth and stopped this immoral, illegal behavior of those who have perpetrated such evil acts on fellow human beings.

You personally chose not to do so, and took the selfish, cowardly way out of not becoming involved.

Live with what you have done because it will haunt what is left of your own souls forever, I am certain of that. 

I don't think that you are "applauding" very much about this decision, and your behavior that allowed it to take place.

Life is precious and death is to be respected, these are the most basic human beliefs that decent people live by. 

Steven deserved better from you.

You know that, yet you are silent.

Shame on all of you.

San Mateo County: Judge tosses suit accusing coroner of mishandling man's brain

By Joshua Melvin

10/18/2012 04:19:20 PM PDT

REDWOOD CITY -- A judge has dismissed a New York couple's lawsuit -- which they refiled three times -- alleging the San Mateo County coroner mishandled their son's brain.

Bringing to a close an approximately 19-month legal struggle Superior Court, Judge Joseph Bergeron ruled Wednesday that Jerald and Sandra Wolkoff cannot proceed with their case. The couple alleged Coroner Robert Foucrault broke the law when he allowed an ambulance company to take samples of Steven Wolkoff's brainstem.

In a two-page ruling Bergeron wrote the Wolkoffs did "not identify any statute that requires the coroner to seek consent before taking a body part." He didn't allow the family another chance to refile, as they received in three prior court decisions on their suit.

San Mateo County applauded the decision, while attorneys for the Wolkoffs said the family is considering an appeal.

Steven Wolkoff died after a car wreck on Highway 1 in July 2008. His parents alleged in a separate 2009 lawsuit that ambulance company American Medical Response made errors that led to their son's death. 

In response, the company got Wolkoff's brain tissue as part of its defense against the wrongful death case, which has since been settled for an undisclosed sum, attorneys said previously.

The Wolkoffs say they didn't know the coroner had retained part of their son's brain, and never gave their permission for it to be turned over to the ambulance company.

"The Wolkoffs are pretty upset about the ruling," said their attorney Jayme Burns of Oakland-based law firm Gwilliam, Ivary, Chiosso Cavalli & Brewer. "They were devastated. Their (Jewish) faith requires the entire body be buried."
 

Due to ongoing litigation concerning the wrongful death case, the removed parts of Wolkoff's brain still have not been interred with him, Burns said.
 

San Mateo County Counsel John Beiers said the coroner didn't do anything wrong and the judge made the right call."The court had been very benevolent in giving the plaintiffs several chances to amend," he said. "Finally the judge had to close the door on the case."
 

Foucrault was accused once before of mishandling the remains handled by his office. Isolina Picon filed suit against the coroner in 2007 after learning his staff had retained her son's heart. Picon's suit was later dismissed.

RAPIST PROTECTED BY CONNECTICUT SUPREME COURT FROM SEX CRAZED PARALYZED WOMAN PREDATOR WITH CEREBAL PALSY

That's right, read it again, you read the heading of this post correctly the first time

Once again the American justice system has revealed itself as the dysfunctional obscene circus of injustice it is in ignoring victims rights. 

The Connecticut State Supreme Court threw out the conviction of a man found guilty of sexually assaulting an extremely handicapped woman who has severe Cerebral Palsy, .

In a 4-3 decision, the high court ruled that despite evidence the 26-year-old woman cannot speak, and has little body movement, has the intellectual functional equivalent of a 3-year-old, and cannot verbally communicate, that there was no evidence she could not communicate her refusal to have sex with the defendant, Richard Fourtin Jr. as a result of the ruling, Fourtin goes free and cannot be tried for the case again.

IN this 4-3 ruling (including amazingly a female Chief Justice among the 4), the Court held that, because Connecticut statutes define physical incapacity for the purpose of sexual assault as “unconscious or for any other reason, physically unable to communicate unwillingness to an act,” the defendant could not be convicted if there was any chance that the victim could have communicated her lack of consent. Since the victim in this case was capable of “biting, kicking, scratching, screeching, groaning or gesturing,” the Court ruled that that victim could have communicated lack of consent despite her serious mental deficiencies.

OK. Let's think about that again. See, back in 2008, Mr. Richard Fourtin Jr. from Bridgeport, Connecticut, he is the bad guy, was found guilty of sexually assaulting this 26-year old woman with cerebral palsy who can’t speak and has very little body movement.The woman had the mental capacity of a three-year old. She is supposed to be the victim, a defenseless disabled woman. She can’t verbally communicate, but if she didn't want to consent to being raped, according to the Judges, she should have had the presence of mind to grunt or screech if she didn't want to be raped.

Under normal physical circumstances, it is very difficult to have the presence of mind to not 'freeze" when you are being assaulted.

Common sense tells me that people with the mental capacity of a 3 year old ( and that includes 3 year old children) are NOT capable of giving consent.

   Defendant Richard Fourtin Jr.

                               

Fourtin's lawyer, Senior Assistant Public Defender Nicole Donzello, declined comment on the decision.

In January 2008, the 28-year-old Fourtin was convicted by a jury in Bridgeport of attempted second-degree and fourth-degree sexual assault and sentenced to six years in prison for sexually assaulting the severely handicapped woman in the Success Village housing complex in late 2005.

The woman, now 29, who in court only went by her initials, L.K., is so physically restricted that she is able to make motions only with her right index finger.

In order for the woman to testify during the trial, a small video camera was placed over her and a tray affixed to her chair. On the tray, the prosecutor placed a board printed with the letters of the alphabet along with the words "yes" and "no" on top.

After each question, the woman's left hand would push her right hand, index finger sticking out, across the board to either spell out a word or answer yes or no. It was an exhausting process that lasted four days.

However, the defense argued that there was evidence the woman could communicate by biting, kicking, screaming and gesturing. They presented testimony at trial from a home health aide who said the woman would kick and groan if she didn't get food she wanted.

The state Appellate Court later ruled she is not physically helpless under the state law in which a jury convicted Fourtin. 

The state then took an appeal to the Supreme Court who ruled that "We are not persuaded that the victim was either unconscious or so uncommunicative that she was physically incapable of manifesting to the defendant her lack of consent to sexual intercourse at the time of the alleged sexual assault".

The three dissenting justices accused the majority of acting as a "13th juror," in the case and substituting their opinion for that of the jury.

Apparently this is the new way of restoring faith in the legal system that is sweeping America. Judges have replaced the Jury system by placing themselves as the ones who know best how to hand out justice or deciding whether a victim is entitled to due process of the Law by a Jury of ones peers. 

Why have a jury system in the first place if arrogant, self serving, politically connected Judges can do the entire thing themselves, and totally screw up in deciding that victims have no rights to Justice, but those who commit acts of depravity are instead given these rights.

So, genius Judges, it doesn’t count unless you fought back? Is this the companion rule to theTodd Akin RULE: described as "legitimate rape where woman rarely experience pregnancy from rape because the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down".

Was it LEGITIMATE RAPE of this poor handicapped woman? Nope. No it was not, and the courageous learned Supreme Court of Connecticut overturned Mr. Fourtin's  conviction because she as the victim did not “scream,” nor did she “bite” or “kick” her assailant. Nor was she considered legally unconscious, which would have spared her the burden of managing to bite, kick, or scream in spite of her substantial physical disabilities. 

But there is a bright side, because this young lady will surely be relieved to discover that she was not legitimately raped!

I am convinced that many Judge's are absolutely so fucking insulated inside their law books, gated communities, and semantically constipated synapses, that they don't have a fucking clue about the real jungle world inhabited by the rest of us.   

Blind shit justice like this happens all the time. This is just another story of Justice not served and defenseless victims blamed for their being tortured. 

Victims get literally fucked while the ARROGANCE of the LAW deems it as being legally acceptable.

So, the question is: who is the worst scumbag in this post, the rapist or the justices? Seems like a tie to me.

WELLS FARGO BANK IS TRYING TO PUT AN ADVANCED STAGE CANCER VICTIM OUT ON THE STREET-SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP IT!

The Banks never stop in their heartless evil that they wreak on good citizens of our Country. Despite  taxpayer "welfare" bailouts to Banks, record profits, and wrecking our economy, Banks continue to show their insatiable greed by their inhumane indifference to those that deserve a break.

Cindi Silvers Davis and her husband Kirk a former Marine who has served our Country, have tried very hard to work with their bank, Wells Fargo, but they say they have been mislead, they have been treated poorly, and now Wells Fargo is trying to put an advanced stage 4 cancer victim out on the street.


Cindi lives in Mount Holly, North Carolina with her husband of 20 years, Kirk, and her 7 Special Needs pets, including her Deaf Service Dog, Katie. Cindi has fought breast cancer since 2008 and unfortunately, she's progressed to Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Cindi is such a caring person, she even volunteers for a charity to help people who have lost their jobs and homes care for their pets. Now, it's time for people to care for Cindi and show their support.


As Cindi and Kirk struggled to pay for the additional cancer treatment she requires, they had trouble paying the full mortgage payments each month, but they tried to pay as much as they could. Wells Fargo refused to accept partial payments and they are adding fees and penalties too. 

Cindi explained the situation to Wells Fargo and a bank representative said they would consider a solution, but the next she heard from the bank was a foreclosure notice. Don't sit back and watch Wells Fargo take away Cindi's home.

A recent follow up report stated that Wells Fargo had put off the foreclosure trial until 2013 to try and work with Cindi and Kirk. Well, they put it off from Dec. 19, 2012 until Jan. 3. 2013! Big Deal! The reporter didn't mention that it wasn't even a 2 week difference and of course the week in between Christmas and New Years the banks and businesses don't do much!

I've signed other petitions that helped homeowners save their homes and now I'm hoping you will join me to help save Cindi's home.

Please join me in asking Wells Fargo to stop the foreclosure on Cindi's home and negotiate a loan modification with her to help her save her home.

At any time this story could be about you, your family, or your loved ones. We are all in this together, so sign the petition below and help let Wells Fargo Bank know that they need to do the "right thing".

PICK YOUR POISON AMERICA-WE ARE ALL VICTIMS

                                       

 In my previous post I made it clear Truth was the real loser of our first Presidential debate. 

   
I think that Americans don't really care whether they are being lied to. In fact I believe they can't get enough lying and want even more if it suits their beliefs.

The problem to me is that many Americans find aggressive lying entertaining and are unwilling, or unable to tell the difference between lies and reality.

We have entered the age of “post-truth”, the big lie, and our entire political process has degenerated as a result. 

Our politics consist of repeating the same lies over and over again until many people believe it as the truth. Hitler learned how to master the technique of using the 'Big Lie' in Germany and look what the German people went along with as their "truth" supposedly causing the problems they had. 

Post truthfulness has bled into all areas of our society as a result, from intimate relations, to our social, and work lives. 

It is the mantra of the amoral, where individuals or whole nations are unable to perceive or are indifferent to questions of right or wrong. 

It allows Banks, Corporations, Government,  Law Enforcement, Courts, Judges, Lawyers, thieves, murderers,  everyone, and anyone to justify things that they do illegally,unethically, as perfectly understandable, acceptable behavior. 

Lying is the modern norm for America, just as mediocrity has become the definition of "excellence". Screw thy fellow American is a business, political, personal facade that is used to hide behind. 

Being a "victim'  has been hijacked from those of us who have experienced the horrors of victimization, and been diluted to become the rallying call of the very rich 1% of America, their gullible followers to ironically claim that they are "victims" of big government and problems caused by the other 47% of their fellow Americans who pay no income taxes, expect entitlements such as medical care", essentially calling them beggars,bums.

Gee, that's a big lie, but it works, even some of those 47% now believe they are the problem.

Romney "lied his way through the debate with no challenge from moderator Jim Lehrer."

President Obama lied also about his own savings and expense cuts which  didn't mathematically come close to adding up. (Neither do those proposed by Romney).

Obama could have challenged Romney on these untruths, instead stuck to his narrative and didn’t decisively call Romney out on it. Obama didn’t win points for that. In fact, Americans, it seems  from the sum of the post debate polls, prefer aggressively told lies to explanations. 

Romney denied he has proposed a $5 trillion tax cut, but since he has given no specifics on the elimination of “offsets” like tax deductions and credits, the $5 trillion is the only hard number available. 

Romney repeated the untruth that President Obama is “cutting $716 billion” from Medicare, but these are actually savings from reductions in fraud, waste, and unnecessary subsidies given by Bush #2 to increase the profits of private insurance Company's that offer "Advantage ' programs. 

Gas prices have not “doubled,” as Mr. Romney claimed.

Perhaps the worst lie of all was Romney’s claim that people with pre-existing conditions would be covered under his plan, a claim that a Romney adviser immediately walked back after the debate.

Finally, Romney “essentially revived the idea of death panels” by claiming Obama care established “a board that will tell people what kind of treatment they’re going to get.” Nope.

The best moment of the debate, frankly, and where reality may have intruded, was when Romney essentially fired both Jim Lehrer and Big Bird: “I’m sorry, Jim, I’m going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually like you, too.”

Oops. Truth-telling.

Immediately a Twitter meme was created, @FiredBigBird. The last I checked, it had 23,160 followers. By contrast, @SilentJimLehrer was only following Big Bird.

Big Bird tweeted:

Tom Berno @tberno

#saveSesameStreet RT @FiredBigBird: "I like being able to fire people... and large talking birds." -- Mitt Romney

Now, Romney, that one moment of truth-telling will come back to haunt you, mark my words. It took four minutes for @FiredBigBird to be created.

But for the rest of the debate, it was truth that lost. Hands down. 

Out of control health care costs in our Country correctly are directly related to so many other issues threatening to destroy the United States. 

The notion that "Obama Care" is a horrible thing for our Country has been distorted by the GOP and others into totally false claims of doomsday scenarios that they say will replace our "current health care system that is the best in the world".

That's a big lie. We now spend more than $2.5 trillion annually on medical care.  But as recently as 1950, Americans spent only about $8.4 billion ($70 billion in today’s dollars). The increase has been mind-boggling. After adjusting for inflation, we now spend as much on health care every ten days as we did in the entire year of 1950.

Perhaps skyrocketing spending could be justified if the result was greatly improved health for the nation’s citizens.  But the truth is that our health has actually been declining in recent decades. 

The U.S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks 37 out of 191 countries according to its performance, which includes efficiency, mortality rates.

 

This comprehensive World Health Organization research study finds" Columbia, Chile, Costa Rica, Israel, Saudi Arabia, San Marino, Andorra, Malta, and Singapore, are rated close behind first place France,second placed Italy, all ahead of the U.S.

The United States finishes dead last in health care results even though Americans spend twice as much on health care than other developed countries , but get lower quality, less efficiency and have the least equitable system. Oh yes, but at least we don't have that wicked Socialized medicine that these other nations "force" on their citizens. 

The same people who bash Obama Care are at the same time screaming " don't touch my Government provided Medicare, my parent's medicare, or my loved one who has Medicare due to a disability". 

Both presidential candidates as I have stated multiple times, are full of shit. 

Romney will say anything and lie his way to be President, pandering to anyone. Not to mention that he has to be given lessons in acting to appear as a supposed human being.

Obama doesn't appear to be defending his record as president for the last four years, so why should America give him another four years?

The answer is that you vote for the best of the worst. The one whose shit smells the least, lies less than the other, and will hurt you less than the other. 

For me those are very poor reasons to vote for a particular candidate for president. However, that is the reality we have, that Obama smells less toxic than Romney.

Romney can't pass the smell test and clearly has said what he means that he has no interest in helping the rest of us 47%.

In this world of mediocrity, Obama is the one to vote for because he is less mediocre than Romney, won't really hurt Social Security, Medicare, and doesn't lie as much as Mitt.

How can you trust a guy with a first name Mitt, and a used car salesman ever present smirk, along with a cruel, demonic V.P. monster Dracula Paul Ryan, one heartbeat away from being the president, both ready with plans to do away with Medicare for a voucher system. remove mortgage interest tax deductions, and privatizing Social Security, essentially destroying the safety net existing for all American's.

We can't pay for it all they say. Want some answers?

Hmmm-get rid of the real garbage that politicians steal our tax money to waste on, stop funding countries that hate us, do away with government corruption, sub contractors pals of those in power defrauding billions of dollars, tax breaks, subsidies for hundreds of different industries, and yes, unfair low tax rates for the ultra rich. 

Hey guys- let's also not forget about all theThe Big Lies that Entitlement Programs are too costly and the Country cannot afford them. SOCIAL SECURITY NEEDS UNCLE SAM TO PAY UP HIS $2.5 TRILLION PLUS DOLLARS IN IOU'S IT OWES TO Social Security, NOW!

Start with the truth above about the SOCIAL SECURITY System being raped by UNCLE SAM who stole all this money FOR NON SOCIAL SECURITY "pork barrel" waste.
  

Get the point? Nobody, in the Social Security and Medicare, hating members of Congress will acknowledge the fact that not one dime of the huge US deficit has been caused by a benefit check paid by Social Security, and the only parts of Medicare that are funded by general tax revenues are doctors bills and the prescription drug benefit, Medicare Part D, a handout that was given to private health insurers established by former President George W. Bush and the Republicans in Congress, which bars the government from negotiating discounts from the pharmaceutical companies, a problem easily fixed by improved legislation. 

What about our country’s outlandish military budget and a decade of unfunded wars, which have been piling up debt at a rate of about $150 billion a year.

Add cuts in the out sized $40+ billion annual secret intelligence budget, in the nation’s obsolete and dangerous nuclear weapons program, and other military-related expenditures, and we’re talking about saving half a trillion dollars a year! Cutting this waste will still allow us to be strongest military power in the world.

 
It’s the wars, stupid! The money to pay for Americans is all there waiting to be given back to we the people, try harder, it can be found.

It's all about liars, Americans should not have delusions that any of these guys will give the money back to us.

It's about who will hurt us the least and throw us more crumbs. A very simple, truthful concept to understand. Pull up your boot straps and accept that as the gospel political facts of life.

Of course if you want to believe in lies, then bring it on, the more lies the better for you, knock yourself out.

Pick your poison Americans, this is what the fraud of our real Democracy is all about.
