“Beauty” And The “Beloved Beast”
Posted by Michelle Moquin on July 19th, 2011
Good morning.
Being a Personal Stylist, I am always seeking to grow my great list of resources, so that I can best serve my clients by providing them amazing contacts in any and all areas of personal styling.
The other day I was seeking out a new make-up artist for my clients further east in Walnut Creek. Another stylist friend of mine and I were meeting at Nordtstom to both have our make-up done by a beauty specialist who was highly recommended to us.
I am not a huge lover of make-up, especially brands that have lots of toxic chemicals such as parabens and other preservatives. But I am in the beauty business and most of my clients love make-up. So, every few months I get my face done by a new make-up artist so that I can refer my clients and keep them abreast on the latest and greatest in make-up, facial cleansers, etc.
My friend and I decided that I would get my face done first, so I plopped myself down on the stool ready for the make-up artist to begin.
About half way through the make-up session, I heard a screeching noise that either sounded like a child screaming or a dog. I started to look around as the noise continued, and didn’t stop. I was stunned when I realized that the screeching sounded so much like my beloved Lucy. My heart started to pound, and I felt myself getting agitated.
People in Nordstrom started running toward the escalators. The screeching continued, the escalator stopped….but the screeching continued. I could not contain myself any longer. I excused myself, jumped out of my chair, and ran up the stopped escalator.
A small group of people were surrounding a woman who was hugging her small dog who was now covered up in her husbands sweat jacket. The husband had blood all over his hands. The woman with her dog was sitting on a chair at the end of the escalator while another woman was trying to calm her and the dog down.
I didn’t have to ask; it was not hard to guess that the small Papillion dog was walking up the escalator with his care takers, and his little foot got sucked into the escalator at the very top where the steps disappear into the floor.
The dog was no longer screeching but he was very frightened. I decided that the woman who was helping was doing a fine job, so I backed off. The little dog’s back foot was revealed and it looked like all was in tact but perhaps a toe nail might have been pulled off. But it certainly didn’t look like anything too serious. Thankfully the escalator had been shut off pretty quickly. And the medics were already there with their emergency kit ready to help.
I took a deep breath of relief as my imagination certainly had me scared for this little precious pup.
All I want to say is please…please if you take your dog into a department store, especially a small dog, do not let them walk on the escalator – Pick them up and carry the little love. The escalators move way too fast and just like small fingers of little children, little toes of our four-legged friends can also get hurt.
I felt the need to blog about this – 1) because I am such a dog lover, and 2) because as much as it is a fluke, I do not ever want to hear the sound of another dog screeching and yelping like I had heard that day.
So please get the word out and pass this along to all of your dog loving friends. Thanks!

Anonz is really turning the screws on Murdoch. The sidelines are full of delighted and seriously unnerved fellow billionaires. Most are quietly admitting to all who will listen and perhaps pass it on to Anonz that they would never cross him the way that Murdoch attempted to do.
Many are saying that Murdoch better hope that Anonz will satisfy his anger with just teaching him a lesson short of crushing his media empire, dealing with his family, or taking his old life.
Of course Anonz is well known for setting the ultimate example of “Revenge is a Dish best served COLD!” Being that Murdoch hasn’t much to lose by dying, Anonz may deviate from his usual method of making his enemies prosper beyond their wildest dreams before taking their lives at the point when they have the most to live for.
Since Murdoch is so damn old the method this time is to allow him to see what he as built for his family die before his very eyes.
A nice touch is the memo that Anonz has placed that he wants to see no personal gloating by Murdoch’s rivals until he gives the nod. It seems that he wants Murdoch to know just who is fucking him.

This is not good news for Guam.

Guam DOL: Population Growth on Guam
Guam – A new report shows more evidence that Guam’s economic growth is not keeping pace with its population growth.
The Household and Per Capita Income: 2010 report, newly released by the Guam Department of Labor, states the per capita income for 2010 is $12,864, a decrease of $225 or 1.7 percent from 2008. The island’s average household size also increased to 3.8 persons from 3.5 during the same period.
The report also shows that out of 119,720 persons aged 16 and above living in Guam, 33,306 (27%) do not earn an income. That is an increase over 2008’s figure of 32,720.
It should be noted the population also increased between 2008 and 2010. The population age 16 and above in 2008 was 115,820.
Recently, the Department of Labor’s Unemployment report also showed Guam’s population increase contributed to the record unemployment facing the island.
“This report reinforces the 13.3 percent unemployment rate we have. People are looking for work because they are not making enough money to support themselves and their families.
This is why we are focusing our initiatives on developing the economy and improving the quality of life for all people,” Governor Eddie Baza Calvo said.
The Governor’s economic initiatives are directly related to job growth and bettering the quality of life for Guamanians.
These include affordable housing opportunities, growing and expanding local businesses, building a more business-friendly government, and fighting for visa waivers for Chinese and Russian tourists.

BELLY FAT: IT’S EVEN BAD FOR SKINNY PEOPLE!
It’s well-known that for overweight people, being “apple-shaped” — with the extra fat mostly around their middle — is particularly dangerous for their health, especially heart health.
But if your weight is in the normal range, you don’t have to worry about that little muffin top or beer belly, right?
Wrong. A new analysis from the Mayo Clinic published in the May 10, 2011 Journal of the American College of Cardiology looked at how belly, or “visceral,” fat impacts cardiac disease patients.
It gathered data from six studies totaling nearly 16,000 heart patients, 40% of whom were of normal weight. These patients (all of whom had either had a heart attack or a procedure to open blocked arteries) were followed for just over two years after their attacks or treatment.
The studies revealed that among the normal-weight folks, their belly fat was associated with early and unexpected death — an astonishing one in five deaths.
Remember, these people were not overweight — they just had a little extra around the middle! Matters were even worse for the obese group, where belly fat caused one in three deaths…
but that’s not very surprising given how dangerous we all know obesity to be. Right now, I’m more concerned about the many of us who keep our overall weight in check and therefore tend not to worry about the fat that we do have.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF “BAD FAT”
To discuss the most recent findings about abdominal fat, I called Robert Kushner, MD, clinical director at the Northwestern Comprehensive Center on Obesity at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Most of us don’t think of fat around the middle as anything more than unsightly “spare tires,” but Dr. Kushner describes it as “angry fat that is biologically active.”
What he means is that this fat, unlike the thinner layer of fat that lies just beneath the skin (subcutaneous fat), produces chemicals that lead to insulin resistance, a precursor of diabetes.
Diabetes, as we know too well, is a disease that puts people at high risk for cardiac disease and inflammation — making it harder for blood vessels to dilate and easier for blood to clot, all of which increases the risk for heart attacks and strokes.
While the Mayo Clinic’s meta-analysis involved only people who already had cardiac disease, Dr. Kushner wanted to remind Daily Health News readers that belly fat is dangerous for people with good health histories as well.
In fact, several years ago, data from the long-range Nurses’ Health Study, which tracked 44,000 women for 16 years, showed that women with greater waist circumferences were more likely to die early of cancer or heart attack than women with smaller waists — and the Nurses’ Health Study data baseline was healthy women.
SHOULD YOU WHITTLE YOUR WAISTLINE?
You may already know that your weight is in the officially healthy range if your body mass index (BMI) is under 25 (to calculate your BMI, go to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/).
But to have a more accurate picture of your health, you need to know just how big your belly is, so go ahead and get out that tape measure.
Do not worry about gauging your hip-to-waist ratio, a measurement that was widely used in the past as a measure of abdominal fat, says Dr. Kushner.
Research now shows that waist circumference alone is a good indicator of the presence of that deep “angry fat.”
However, it is crucial that both men and women take this measurement at a very specific part of the body.
Place the tape measure just above the top of the hip bones. Reason: Hip bone position never changes, and it is easy to find even for people who are overweight.
For men, you are at risk if your waist circumference is 40 inches or more… for women, 35 inches or more puts you into the danger zone.
USE YOUR HEAD — FOR YOUR HEART
For your health, it is crucial to lose belly fat if your waist measurement exceeds the above guidelines.
Despite the promises you see on many magazine covers for both women and men — you know, “Bust That Belly Fat with One Simple Move!” — there is no way to spot reduce, says Dr. Kushner.
The only way to get that fat to budge is to reduce your calorie intake via a healthy weight-loss program, such as the Mediterranean Diet.
For more on this fruit, veggie and whole-grain-heavy diet that most people find both delicious and filling, check out our Bottom Line Secrets article at http://www.BottomLineSecrets.com/Extra. Exercise is a must as well, with aerobic exercise particularly good for both shedding pounds and boosting cardiovascular health.
Once you have lost some weight and reduced your waistline to a healthy number of inches, you’ll need to be vigilant to keep that belly fat from doing what it does best — creeping back onto your body.

WHEN HOSPITALS MAKE MISTAKES
You research the pros and cons and shop around before you buy a car — so why not compare local hospitals in case you, or someone close to you, becomes ill or has an accident?
Lack of accessible information may have discouraged you from taking a close look in the past, but the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) now reports hospital error rates on its Web site.
The information is right there at http://www.HospitalCompare.hhs.gov, making it easy to see how the various medical centers in your area stack up against each other. So what can you find out?
ADVERSE EVENTS: MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK
Hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) are also called “never events” — because they are serious problems that people develop in the hospital that should seldom, if ever, happen as long as proper procedures are followed.
As an example, according to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Inspector General, 13.5% of hospitalized patients on Medicare experience preventable adverse events such as falls and infections. That’s clearly way more than “never”… and way too many.
The CMS tracks hospitals’ rates on these eight “never events”…
Foreign objects. Yes, it really is true — sometimes surgeons accidentally leave a sponge or clamp in a patient’s body.
Air embolism. Without proper care and attention, a dangerous air bubble may develop in your bloodstream. This can happen with a central IV line and during vascular procedures.
Mismatched blood. Hospitals occasionally administer the wrong type of blood in a transfusion.
Severe pressure sores. If you can’t move around independently and caregivers don’t help you shift position frequently, you can develop painful and potentially life-threatening pressure sores, what most people call bedsores.
Falls and injuries. Without proper assistance, a simple trip to the bathroom may result in a fall and a debilitating injury.
Vascular catheter-associated infection. This is a blood infection from catheters — small tubes that are used to treat heart disease or other disease and carry a risk for sepsis.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections. Catheters also are used to help patients urinate, and infections are a common complication.
Uncontrolled blood sugar. Signs of poorly controlled blood sugar range from confusion, anxiety and sweating (low blood sugar or hypoglycemia) to headaches, blurred vision and fatigue (high blood sugar or hyperglycemia).
This is a concern for hospital patients with diabetes and also for others — for instance, those for whom the stress of hospitalization is too much. Pregnancy can cause short-term hyperglycemia as well.
After reading through that list, are you ready to take yourself to just any old hospital? I didn’t think so.
It’s clearly a good idea to track error rates, notes E. Wesley Ely, MD, MPH, a professor and specialist in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center —
but, he adds, it’s something that needs to be done very carefully for the benefit of both patients and the hospitals themselves.
For example, it’s reasonable and helpful to hold hospitals responsible for mistakes such as transfusing the wrong blood type or leaving a foreign object in a patient during a surgical procedure —
but it’s not helpful to automatically blame hospitals when patients develop delirium after surgery, as the CMS originally proposed, because delirium is not always preventable. Fortunately, the CMS reversed its position on this condition, says Dr. Ely.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
To increase your odds of a safe and successful hospital stay, become an educated consumer…
Check hospital ratings. Visit CMS’s Web site and read about hospital errors.
You’ll find the incidence rate for each of the eight HACs in the nation’s 4,700 hospitals. That is how many times an HAC has occurred per 1,000 discharges.
At http://www.HospitalCompare.hhs.gov, you also can learn how satisfied other people were with their hospital stays…
how closely hospitals followed best practices of care… how many people died within 30 days of hospitalization for a heart attack, heart failure or pneumonia… and 30-day readmission rates for these conditions.
Don’t pay for their mistakes. Medicare does not pay for treatment of conditions that result from hospitals’ mistakes, and you don’t have to either.
If you develop any of the eight above conditions in the hospital, you can’t be charged for the resulting necessary treatment, according to the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.
Work with caregivers as a team. For best results, Dr. Ely urges families to communicate closely with doctors, nurses and other health-care professionals.
Provide caregivers with a complete list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements that the patient takes so that nothing gets overlooked in an emergency.
This is particularly important so that doctors can avoid drug interactions with new medications they might prescribe.
Ask questions about the risks and potential benefits of treatment options, and speak up about any other concerns, such as a patient being sedated too deeply or for too many days.
As well-meaning as most health-care professionals are, the demands of their jobs mean that a patient’s quality of care isn’t necessarily automatic.
Safer at home. Dr. Ely also encourages you to keep talking to your hospitalized loved ones so they remain as oriented and aware as possible… so that they get out of bed sooner… recover and come back home where they belong. It’s much safer there!

The West should refrain from giving sophisticated weapons to the rebels in Libya.
They will only have to defend against those weapons as they will be sold to Al qaeda or be used by those same rebels against the West or Israel once they are in control of Libya.
Anonz is dead set on supporting too heavily a bunch of pimps and female pedophiles and sex traders. That is a very apt and fit description of 95% of Arab men of the Middle East.

It is rumored that James Murdoch has made overtures to Anonz to plug up the misunderstandings about his involvement in the attempt to unmask Anonz and expose his family publicly.
It is also rumored that Anonz is preparing to take over the Corporation himself by buying control of the board of directors and ousting Murdoch and his son James as CEO. Now that” “Fuck YOU Money.”

I’m War Survivors: Part 2
Updated: Jul 18, 2011 7:14 PM
by Sabrina Salas Matanane
Guam – They are the island’s greatest generation, and come Thursday 19 of the island’s senior citizens have been bestowed the honor to serve as the Liberation Parade’s grand marshals.
Surrounded by several of his grand and great grandchildren, Antonio A. Calvo recently celebrated his 84th birthday. “I’m very happy we survived and still alive,” he told KUAM News.
84 years young and a lifetime of family memories and serving decades in public, including several years working for the Governor’s Office in the 1950 and 1960′s and serving 12 years as the commissioner of Yigo.
Like the many other man’amko being honored this liberation, he is a survivor of the Japanese occupation of Guam during World War II. “They slap you and sometime if its very serious they use some stick to whip you,” he recalled.
Don’t be fooled by his warm chuckle, it wasn’t easy. He was just 14 when the Japanese invaded Guam. “Everytime I think of the war it’s a little bit rough, but you know how it is,” he said.
Calvo like other children at the time were forced to work. His first job gathering food for his captors, and working the airfields in Tiyan.
“After that they took me to Yigo again to the northern to join the group that are taking what’s that dummy canyon to install dummy canyon at Pati Point.
So my assignment is to cut coconut trees the trunk 20-feet long we carry that all the way to Pati Point,” he said.
“When we’re doing the canyon at Pati Point it’s a rough trail and the Japanese hit me sometime because I’m a little bit slow you know actually carrying that log its hard, that’s how it is. We just obey.”After forced labor came the march to Manenggon.
Calvo said, “When we reach to Manenggon the Japanese told us this is the place where you people are going to stay you cannot go out you cannot build fire nobody is allowed to leave the camp look for a big tree and take shelter.”
Food was scarce, he and his family would have to sneak out at night to search for food. “We look for coconut it’s lucky you don’t have to cook the coconut you know just feed it and eat it,” he said.
67 years later, no matter how painful those days may have been, Calvo doesn’t hold any ill will toward his captors. “I told my kids.
They say is that how they treat you? I say yeah, but I don’t blame them because maybe they follow instructions from their higher-ups, you know?” he said.

Gaddafi is afraid to surrender because he knows that the French and the British want to try him for his participation in the bombings of one of their commercial airliners.
The British want him for the Lockerbie Flight 103 bombing in which 270 people died in 1988.
The French want him for bombing a French airliner over Niger in 1989 which killed 171, because Gaddafi wrongly thought that a Libyan dissident, Mohammed al-Megrief, was on board.
As in the case of the Lockerbie bombing a year earlier, the disaster was caused by explosives packed into a suitcase in the hold.

It really doesn’t matter to me about the men here in Libya because whichever set of men get the power, our lives as women will remain essentially the same.
But for the families of the women of the West I hope they get the evil bastard.

Lea, your reminder of the sufferings of the people of Guam because of their loyalty to the United States of America honors the sufferings of the Guamanian people during the occupation of Guam by the Japanese.
Too bad the whites of the US Senate continue to believe that only whites who suffered in the war should receive any compensation.
They had no problem rushing to reward those who suffered in 9/11, but Guamanians have been waiting more than 60 years while the play their racist games until most of the victims have died.
Here is the latest plea by Guam’s Senator Won Pat’s latest plea before that racist body of 99 of 100 US Senators.
_________________________________
The Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act
I would like to share with you my testimony, in part, before theUnited States House Representatives on a matter of parity and justice for Guam’s Greatest Generation, HR 44, the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act.
Honorable Members of Congress, the issue of recognizing the patriotism and loyalty of approximately 23,000 men, women and children, inhabitants of Guam were subjected to unthinkable brutalities, . . . involuntary servitude and forced labor.
All of whom were never extended even the most basic parity with other human beings in similar situations. These issues have been discussed in these hallowed halls for many, many years.
The issue of war claims or war reparations, or whatever name it is called by was one of the first subjects of legislation introduced by my father, the late Congressman Antonio B. Won Pat over 36 years ago, and then in 1985 by retired U.S. Marine General and Congressman Ben G. Blaz.
Both of these gentlemen were survivors of the war and spoke with personal and intimate knowledge of the suffering of our people and the brutalities they endured.
In 1992, the Honorable Congressman Dr. Robert A. Underwood again asked Congress to recognize the unfailing loyalty and patriotism of the Chamorro people.
For last eight and a half years, Guam’s incumbent Congresswoman, the Honorable Madeleine Z. Bordallo, has made this quest her highest priority.
In the 107th Congress, in his last term as a Member of this body, Congressman Underwood introduced legislation which would establish an official government commission to review the efforts and records pertaining to war claims.
In the 108th Congress, through the efforts of Congresswoman Bordallo, in her first term, the intent and mechanism envisioned by Congressman Underwood became a reality when the Guam War Claims Review Commission was impaneled, funded and began their important work.
Perhaps the most important finding of the Guam War Claims Review Commission this is most relevant and should be considered at this point in time reads as follows:
1. Moral obligation to pay compensation for war damages. The Review Commission affirms that there is a moral obligation on the part of our national government to pay compensation for war damages, in order to ensure to the extent possible that no single individual or group of individuals bears more than a just part of the overall burden of war.
That the United States Congress recognized this obligation with respect to Guam is evidenced by its prompt enactment of the Guam Meritorious Claims Act of 1945 (the “Guam Act”) within weeks after the termination of World War II.
Every Member of both Houses of Congress should give greater deference to what the Commission believed is a moral obligation of the national government.
Also noted by the commission are fifteen separate instances where there was a lack of parity for the people of Guam who suffered the Japanese occupation and brutality, as compared to inhabitants of other areas, and indeed, other American nationals and American citizens.
I call upon the Congress to correct and right an injustice suffered by the people of Guam.
The Chamorro people of Guam were imprisoned and brutalized in their own homeland. These very same Chamorros are also loyal, patriotic and freedom loving Americans who have never hesitated to serve their country and flag.
But these same Chamorros, to this day, are not treated with parity in terms of war claims after World War II. For as long as the issue of “war claims” or “war reparations” remains unresolved their loyalty and patriotism remains relegated to ignobility.
In 1944 American soldiers guided nearly 22,000 Chamorros from the concentration camps in Mannengon, Asinan and Fena.
Today, we estimate that perhaps 4,000 of those 22,000 are still alive but rapidly aging. I call upon the Congress of the United States to take action now and not to wait for these 4,000 to pass on.
Please do not wait until those remaining are granted the parity and recognition they have waited 67 years for.
LISTEN TO SPEAKER WON PAT’S ADDRESS

You can bet your last dollar on this. If the Republicans want to get back the White House or to get themselves re-elected, they better not let that nigger get the debt ceiling raised.
We are TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK. And we don’t give two shits what happens to get that done. It is just collateral damage.
So to you white politicians and want-to be Whites that we let in the party. Grab you balls and hold on. That goes double for you bitches holding office under the Republican Banner.
This nigger does not get shit or you will pay for it at the polls.
America was made and made Great by White Men. Why should be ashamed of that?
The country started to go to hell when we gave the niggers, spicks, wops, slopes, and other non White males the vote.
It was doomed when we gave the bitches the vote. You can nuke all those camel niggers in the Middle East and else where, in my opinion. But they do have one good idea that we need to copy. That would be to take control our bitches.
Why the fuck are we giving those cunts the right to tell a White Man what to do?

As the Green Bay Press Gazette reported, “VanderLeest hasn’t paid property taxes in three years, pled no contest to two misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges related to allegations of domestic abuse and has a bankruptcy, home foreclosure and unpaid settlement from 2006.”
Yet, he has no problem beating out the Democrat because he is anti Obama, a black man.
Is it me, or is it time for us whites to wake up and dismiss the appeal to our vote via disguised but, implied bigotry.

George, so nice to hear from you again. I was wondering if you might had seen the light by perhaps overdosing on your meds, subsequently your heart and third eye shakra had taken you over to the point that you were now fried and could not comment due to your new awakened confusion…I guess I was mistaken. Nevertheless, you will find solace located on the third shelf to the right, tucked away behind the full, unused shaving cream. But, before you open up the mirrored cabinet, you might stop for a second and look deep into the eyes of the asshole staring back at you.

I do give Kuddos to you, Anonz. This whole Murdoch situation is a powerful example of how you, Anonz, can effect the entire planet in a good way. And we can see from this article that the rich will stop at nothing…

Hafa adai, Lea.
That was a sensitive but necessary reminder of the sufferings of our parents during the WWII. I hope the remaining few get some recognition after 67 years of waiting.

This Anonz/Murdoch interaction is very much part of that rabbit hole of info I found just before my computer crashed in March (or perhaps it had help crashing) and there’s more…I’m not going to use just the term, illuminati, that doesn’t fully cover it, it’s so much more than that, I once mentioned that there are seemingly unconnected events occurring, they are connected and sometimes it’s even hard to play ‘follow the money’ and ‘follow the power’ – I’m glad Anonz has the wherewithall (not to mention the cajones : ) to handle Murdoch and anyone who needs calling/taking out, I’ll quote Peter (hafa adai) ‘You go, Anonz!’ – and that’s it for today – Luv, Zen Lill

Oh and Misch, in Singapore I was present when a little kid got her toe cut off on an escalator, (I was not helpful, the smell of durian and that just sent me over the nauseated edge that day) and once a young girl got her very long hair caught under the black moving handrail and it almost completely scalped her, wasn’t at that horrific event, so watch your kids/dogs/hair
…or get some exercise and take the stairs : ) – ZL

Anonz may be impressive to the West. But now that he has signaled that he will not accept China’s overtures for him to desist interfering with the lawful activities of The People’s Republic of China, he will discover that he faces a formidable adversary.
How foolish is the man who would defy a Nation that has a standing army larger than the entire population of his country?There are better ways to satisfy a death wish.
Anonz should take a warning from the imperialists British who removed the nuisance of Sean Hoare with the same swiftness they did with Lawrence of Arabia and the less than discrete Princess Diana. The United Kingdom is a government that knows how to remove an embarrassment.
China can put a 500,000,000 people to work 24/7 tracking him down and have that many more to pursue the target once it is found.
As such China is not impressed by the actions of a single man. He may have escaped the People’s trap in the Sudan. But he did not do it unscathed.
Anonz, take note of your new reality: China has infinite patience, resources, and personnel to throw at any problem.

I wish someone would tell me what this blog is about. I keep getting referred to it but when I try to read it I find no cohesiveness.
The Host Michelle writes an article about an injured dog and the blog post 28 comments in as many different directions.
Who is this obviously deranged George? And what does the WN at the end of his name stand for?
What makes this blog so popular with my friends? I just don’t see it.
But I do like the name Zen Lill, wish I had thought of it.

Hafa adai:
Why does the US Senate find it so difficult to do the right thing by Guam? Is it because we are brown people?
While all the whites who suffered at the hands of the Japanese have been compensated, the Senate has continually delayed for 67 years the same benefit to the survivors on Guam.
Carla
It is obvious they are attempting to delay until all of the survivors are dead. This was a successful tactic that was used to deny most of the Japanese Americans that were forced into concentration camps by white america.
The same Supreme Court that is giving away the rights of the average American to the corporations. Refuses to hear Guam’s case against the federal government.
But what does an OTW expect from a court that gave away the Japanese American’s right to Due Process when they allowed white america to take away the Japanese American’s property, homes, businesses, freedom and self esteem without a single day in court or accusing them of any crime.
This delaying tactic of the US Senate (99 of the 100 are white) is working. EVERY survivor who testified before the
War Claims Review Commission in 2003, 8 years ago has now died.
Since the white Senate has ruled that the dead do not qualify for any reparations. Their families will receive nothing. This was the tactic used against the Japanese Americans.
Wait until most of the survivors are dead, then the white bigots will stand tall with crocodile tears in their eyes and make speeches about the sacrifice Guam made because it was affiliated with America.
They will offer to make reparations to the survivors knowing exactly how many are still alive. It will be a very, very, small fraction of those who would have been entitled.
Yet they continue to take the best of our land for their military use and force our young men and women to die for a promise that have no intention of honoring.

Loren, after reading too many of his postings, I do believe the “WN” after George’s name stands for “White Nigger”.

Compare the cost of gas with the cost of flying by using AAA’s free calculator at http://www.fuelcostcalculator.com.
Example: Driving four people from Denver to Nashville in a 2007 Toyota Corolla uses about 62 gallons of gas and recently cost about $130/round-trip — compared with at least $952 for four round-trip air tickets.

I believe it stands for “White Nation”. It is Crazy George’s way of attaching himself to something larger than himself. As if he were some kind of real threat.
He believes this gives him some sort of sick credibility which no one can figure out.
I think I am correct. George is that what “WN” stands for?

There are many sub-plots going on here between many people. Do you expect to understand it instantly?
MM Blog is a Forum for many topics.
It will not be handed to you on a platter. Recently there has been some technical difficulty. Other than that, it would be cpomplicated since you do not know who anyone is. It is like walking into a party. You must get to know people first just as you fidured out that George is a deranged Racist.
This blog had its 4th Birthday last week. Much has been discussed during that time. You must have patience and a little intelligence to understand. I hope you stick around to find out.
