Social Security Myth # 2184 -- There Won't Be Anything For Me

Weight loss surgery risks

I'm convinced there isn't a human on the other side of the online customer service email. Just a primitive AI, smart enough to send you the form letter vaguely related to your complaint and to fake responses after that until they reach an email # limit and send you a tech support phone number. This is also known as Bank of America bought Fleet and is replacing my login name with a number that they don't provide for my superior customer satisfaction improvement convenience.


Off toNorwescon; if i don't respond to email for the next 4 days, that may very well be why.

How 'Conspiracy Kooks' Became More Credible Than the White House

...Even more sinister, however, is that this provision reintroduces proposals which were previously rejected by most states in last years' Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA). Calling for mandatory vaccination, MEHPA allows for confiscation of real estate, food, medicine and other property; and outlines plans to herd afflicted citizens into stadiums. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson urged state legislatures to adopt the act, providing all the proof conspiracy theorists needed to prove that the U.S government was using 9/11 to impose a reign of tyranny. The mysterious deaths of 15 microbiologists following the attacks didn't help.

Yet according to the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons, under this Homeland Security provision, MEHPA would be all but reborn under section 304, subsection C of the bill. Tommy Thompson would be given sweeping powers to unilaterally declare an emergency and order forced vaccinations, detainment and quarantines. Bemoaning that the provision was"snuck into the bill at the last minute,"Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) said,"It is hard to think of a more blatant violation of liberty than allowing government officials to force people to receive potentially dangerous vaccines based on hypothetical risks."

Word of the Day for Saturday April 19, 2003

sacrosanct \SAK-roh-sankt\, adjective:
Sacred; inviolable.

The family was viewed as sacrosanct: divorce was highly
unusual and children were expected to be grateful for the
sacrifices that parents, who postponed their own
gratifications in forming a family, made on their behalf.
--Alan Wolfe, [1]One Nation, After All

Espionage is about redefining Good and Evil, the violable
and the sacrosanct.
--Edward Shirley, [2]Know Thine Enemy
_________________________________________________________

Sacrosanct comes from Latin sacrosanctus,"consecrated with
religious ceremonies, hence holy, sacred,"from sacrum,
"religious rite"(from sacer,"holy") + sanctus,
"consecrated,"from sancire,"to make sacred by a religious
act."

Another CIA officer, Edward Petty, described Angleton as"a lone wolf"and"a strange bird"; every other source I have found bluntly calls him"paranoid."He suspected everybody else in the CIA, and in"our"government generally, of being KGB moles, and operated with so much modernist ambiguity and hidden trapdoors that, in Petty's words,"nobody really knows"what he was doing most of the time. In short, he became as esoteric as the poets he admired, and remade the C.I.A. and, increasingly, our whole nation into a theatre of impenetrable mystery.

...

If James Jesus really arranged the JFK assassination, he had probably decided that Kennedy was the top Soviet mole of all.

Why not? Angleton had Tsarist agents in all sorts of nooks of the Soviet system, and he knew the KGB was smart enough and tireless enough to reciprocate by planting their own Masks and Anti-Masks in his own backyard, or maybe under his bed at night. According to Edward Jay Epstein, J.J.A.s endless search for Soviet moles nearly destroyed the C.I.A. itself. Certainly, everybody in"the Company"learned to distrust everybody else.

...In short, the government cannot trust us, because it can never know with absolute certainty what mischief we may hatch; and every sentence we speak into a bugged phone may have as many possible meanings as Eliot's"The rose and the fire are one."

...The TSOG stalketh the land and the serfs bow and worship it.
It stealeth property, it burneth neighborhoods, it killeth
all opposition. Ye think it only doth its violence to
black people, or Hispanics, or kooks with odd religions,
but its hand is at your own throat even now. TSOG fthagn!
What, are ye stupid, or something?
Abdul Alhazred, The Tsaronomicon

Angleton was finally removed from the CIA in 1974 when caught meddling in U.S. elections -- something that the CIA is only supposed to do in other countries. Calvi of Banco Ambrosiano was assassinated by the Mafia, for unknown reasons, in 1982. His secretary fell or was thrown out of her office window the same day Calvi was found hanged. Michele"The Shark"Sindona, another of the Gladio/P2/Mafia inner circle--remember? -- was convicted of 64 counts of stock and currency fraud in New York, and of murdering a bank examiner in Rome; he was poisoned in prison while awaiting trial on other charges. Archbishop Paul"The Gorilla"Marcinkus was replaced as president of the Vatican Bank, when his role in Gladio drug-money laundering was revealed in the trials of lesser culprits, and later he got booted out of the Vatican entirely.

...The major open functions of Mystical Tsarism now are the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] and the Food and Drug Administration [FDA.] You all know about the DEA and its vast army of snoops and informers -- a vision to gladden the heart of Pobedonostsev himself. The FDA operates similarly but with less publicity; it was described in these terms by Saul Kent of the Life Extension Foundation:"The FDA's strong-arm tactics are used to intimidate and terrorize Americans into toeing their police-state line on health care and medicine."

In 1957, the FDA burned all the books of dissident physician Wilhelm Reich, M.D., smashed his laboratory equipment with axes, and threw him in jail, where he died.

Lately, their major targets have been midwives, herbalists and others who offer safer and cheaper health care than the TSOG itself.

Although our first official and open Tsar was appointed during the brief, bloody reign of George Bush, the Tsar's powers only reached tyrannical status under Bill Clinton, a hillbilly with a perpetual hard-on.

...Our current Tsar's war crimes are documented in"Overwhelming Force,"by Seymour Hersh, The New Yorker, 22 May 2000.

The best depth analysis of Mystical Tsarism remains The Mass Psychology of Fascism, by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, New York, 1970. Although Dr Reich doesn't analyze Tsarism in particular, he relates Fascism to the dogmatic religions, faith in"leaders"["little Fathers"]and sexual misery of all the"Patriarchal Authoritarian"regimes throughout history, and his major bio-psychological theorems describe both Russian and American Tsarism as neatly as they fit the Holy Inquisition or German-Italian Fascism.

Or -- you can find most of this data, in one form or another by simply surfing the web. Set your search engine for"Rheinhold Gehlen,""Cisalpine Bank,""Licio Gelli,""Gladio"and all the other individual and group names in this synopsis, and you'll be astounded at how many Dirty Secrets are now open to the light of day.

" Every generation has to reinvent the practice of computer programming. In the 1950s the key innovations were programming languages such as Fortran and Lisp. The 1960s and '70s saw a crusade to root out "spaghetti code" and replace it with "structured programming." Since the 1980s software development has been dominated by a methodology known as object-oriented programming, or OOP. Now there are signs that OOP may be running out of oomph, and discontented programmers are once again casting about for the next big idea. It's time to look at what might await us in the post-OOP era (apart from an unfortunate acronym)."

mp3s of Bach's endlessly rising canon with shepard tones
http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs083/akustik.html

It was Douglas Hofstadter's ("Godel, Escher, Bach") idea to apply the shepard effect to Bach's canon. But there is a serious problem: The scale sounds the same regardless which octave you are playing. Bach's canon, played with a Shepard scale sounds terrible, becauce big intervals sound small (e.g. a seventh sounds like a second) and you cannot distinguish the three voices.

In 1992 I have developed a modified Shepard scale. All intervals sound clear and there is no problem in distinguishing the voices. The idea was to apply the Shepard effect to the time scale rather than to the frequencies alone. At first glance the listener cannot decide if the modified Shepard effect is turned on or off. Furthermore, it is possible to create melodies that seem to rise but that end one octave lower than they have started.

BAGHDAD, 13 April 2003 — They lie across the floor in tens of thousands of pieces, the priceless antiquities of Iraq’s history. The looters had gone from shelf to shelf, systematically pulling the statues and pots and amphorae of the Assyrians and the Babylonians, the Sumerians, the Medes, the Persians and the Greeks and hurling them down on to the concrete.

Our feet crunched on the wreckage of 5,000-year-old marble plinths and stone statuary and pots that had endured every siege of Baghdad, every invasion of Iraq throughout history — only to be destroyed when America came to “liberate” the city. The Iraqis did it. They did it to their own history, physically destroying the evidence of their own nation’s thousands of years of civilization.

Not since the Taleban embarked on their orgy of destruction against the Buddhas of Bamian and the statues in the museum of Kabul — perhaps not since World War II or earlier — have so many archaeological treasures been wantonly and systematically smashed to pieces.

...

But “liberation” has already turned into occupation. Faced by a crowd of angry Iraqis in Al-Fardus Square demanding a new Iraqi government “for our protection and security and peace”, US Marines, who should have been providing that protection, stood shoulder to shoulder facing them, guns at the ready.

Yesterday evening, I drove through the city for more than an hour. Hundreds of streets are now barricaded off with breeze blocks, burned cars and tree trunks, watched over by armed men who are ready to kill strangers who threaten their homes or shops. Which is just how the civil war began in Beirut in 1975. ...

Why? How could they do this? Why, when the city was already burning, when anarchy had been let loose — and less than three months after US archaeologists and Pentagon officials met to discuss the country’s treasures and put the Baghdad Archaeological Museum on a military data-base — did the Americans allow the mobs to destroy the priceless heritage of ancient Mesopotamia? And all this happened while US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was sneering at the press for claiming that anarchy had broken out in Baghdad.
