Hollywood Gunman’s Former Girlfriend a Model? No! Is Alicia Alligood a Model Mayhem? Yep-piddy-Yep, I Guess she’s is one:

By Marc Chamot

Photos of Alicia Alligood were forcibly removed because;

"Hello, While I never heard back from you, perhaps you have already seen my response to your blog post discussing Tyler Brehm and I.

I requested you remove it and am still waiting for you to do so. It's quite simple and I'm sure it wouldn't take long. It's a good thing you have such a broad and consistent database of posts on various topics; dropping the one entitled, "Hollywood Gunman’s Former Girlfriend a Model? No! Is Alicia Alligood a Model Mayhem? Yep-piddy-Yep, I Guess she’s is one," certainly won't affect your ratings....

It's very, very important you remove the post as well as the comments. I am all about the idea of an open forum and, as a writer, I have a deep appreciation for the exchange of ideas, but this has gotten out of hand. Someone who obviously has a vendetta with Tyler recently left horrible comments that are illustrating him via lies & exaggerations.

I completely understand your post's discussion as an attempt to cover part of the story, but this other individual (I'm confident I know who it is) has chosen to create an outrage against Tyler because of their intense and unhealthy hatred toward he and I.

I hope you'll agree that it's time the article & comments be permanently removed. Our families are dealing with WAY TOO MUCH (there have been 2 more deaths since Tyler's) and would appreciate your help on this one.
Thank You,
Alicia Alligood

Marc, Exactly, it's just your info from the net, and yes--you are wrong, Mr. Chamot. Anyway you posted MY photographs without MY permission. You are also erroneous in stating that people involved with this case want "all the publicity they can get." More importantly than all of that is this other individual's bold & false claims about Tyler. It's not that difficult for you to just remove it. It's doing more harm than good.
Alicia

You are mistaken; I do not care what you have to say, yet I feel it is worth my time kindly asking you to remove the slanderous blog & comments from your site. I understand that this situation with Tyler and I is, sickeningly, a potential money-making opportunity for you, but I will absolutely NOT PAY you to for rights to the material. I don't desire it in any form. You got the story from us... not the other way around.

Throughout some of this aftermath of December 09th, I have consulted with my attorney on a few matters. We discussed the issues surrounding your "article" and I was surprised to learn you are actually violating more laws, and even some civil offenses, than I had previously realized.

Thanks for your "advice," yet we already have legal counsel so it really isn't a big deal for us to impose a lawsuit becomes necessary."
Alicia Alligood

Okay Alicia: After re-analyzing my article/story; in regards to my comments on Tyler Brehm, my story stays.

And take that to YOUR lawyer, and even spend all your money on lawyers fees if you want, I couldn't care less. You'll lose, I then will counter sue you for harassment.

Tyler Brehm was a media and national story, he lost his rights as a private citizen, when he walked down a street in Hollywood, firing his gun at people, until the cops shot him dead. He lost his private citizen's libel protections when he committed the crime.

In regards to you, you were mentioned by the news Medias and hundreds of blogs and I reported about you, exactly what was mentioned by the Media, however, I brought up the case of you being or want to be a model, through ModelMayhem, which is true, and those are the facts that will never change. So sue me.

But! In regards to your photos, I am not admitting any wrong doings, even though your photos were on the Internet where anybody could access them, they were available in a public domain called ModelMayhem, however, I did not want to be hassled or threatened over this by you anymore, I have removed ALL of your photos from this posting, and instead, will be replaced with photos of Tyler Brehm, which are of public domains.

This is a political blog; I don’t usually write about nutcases who go on rampage. What I found pretty sneaky curious, in the world of Internet.

Every time one hears about some atrocious crime being committed by some perpetrator, their Facebook page is usually the first to go, get deleted or disappear, into the never land of Cyberspace.

But somehow, this Hollywood shooter, that lovesick and despondent guy; well holly-and-behold! His freaking Facebook page was still around! No kidding! It’s Hollywood alright; they enjoy all the publicity they can get. But what’s most fascinating of all, it’s what one can dig up these days on the Net.

And sometimes things aren’t pretty. Everybody is speculating about what actually triggered the Hollywood gunman, Tyler Brehm, to walk down the street and shoot at people.

Actually, have you all seen that video of his half-hazardless way of shooting at people? Yeah. Go take another look, because Tyler Brehm didn’t look too serious about wanting to kill anybody. It seemed like he was screaming for attention, and regardless his motives, he got it and he’s dead now.

As vehicles were passing by, he slowly moved the pistol up and down without aiming at anything and took pop-shots towards vehicles driving by. Any experienced gunman, who’s really serious about hurting people, he could have certainly done a lot more damage.

According to Tyler Brehm’s Facebook page, there was one thing that struck me as odd.

There was one entry in there that struck me as strange. After the part on December 6^th, when Tyler Brehm says, went from being “in a relationship” to “single.”

There was an odd entry that kind of surprised me. It came from one of his friends and commenter Elena Matveeva, on December 6that 10:27 pm, with a simple wtf???

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Elena Matveeva was pretty ticked off by the comment. And since then, there were no more entries in Facebook.

"Friends were removed, to protect Facebook member's privacy"

I’m not going to speculate here, he may have ruined two relationships, not one. His former girlfriend Alicia Alligood, mentioned about another woman when she broke up with Tyler.

I am not going to go any further on this issue, I’ll let gossip magazines do it, because that’s what they are good for, and they’ve got a whole lot more money than I do to withstand a lawsuit. But that “wtf???” bothers me a lot, and keeps gnawing at me.

To my biggest surprise; Tyler’s former girlfriend, the one he recently broke up with, Alicia Alligood is a an aspiring model!

Actually, and really, she’s got a page on Model Mayhem. Oh yeah! And she’s isn’t bad looking either.

I do not know how thriving is her modeling career, but I guess it might just get a little better after all the publicity of this nightmare.

Obviously, there was a whole lot of jealousy, and anger, in Tyler Brehm behind the break-up. When I was younger, in my good-looking days, I know how much it hurts, with heart-breakers like Alicia Alligood.

Judge Rules in Defamation of Character Lawsuit; Bloggers are not Journalists & Have no Shield Law Protections:

2011-12-08T15:38:00.000-08:00

Judge Rules in Defamation of Character Lawsuit; Bloggers are not Journalists & Have no Shield Law Protections:

By Marc Chamot

Bloggers around are very concerned about recent events on a federal judge’s ruling, calling bloggers are not protected people, under general Media journalistic shield laws.

Bloggers are too concerned by this ruling, but they shouldn’t be. It’s because, under those same conditions, and even protected journalists under shield laws, would have been sued for defamation of character just the same.

This attorney was not a public figure, and the blogger in question who was sued, should have known better, than calling someone an unsubstantiated ‘thug’ and ‘thief’ over the Internet.

The lawyer in question sued his former client for defamation of character, who happened to be an established blogger. Had the judge ruled journalistic protections for the blogger, this blogger was still liable for defamation of character regardless.

Even though Crystal was very angry at her former attorney, and according to her opinion, her angry rants were based on shoddy legal work she had received. Regardless, unless she was writing about John Gotti, or any other incarcerated felons, or even Blago, and she had no business calling anyone on the Internet, a ‘thug’ and a ‘thief.’

Crystal L. Cox had every right to vent her beefs towards the lawyer on the Internet, and however, she could have stated her version of the story by having proof available to back up her story, if the contract was broken, by using different methods. It would have been safer to use the indirect approach in writing, rather than the direct one. It could have been equally as effective.

She could have said, ‘I feel ripped off’ instead of calling the man a ‘thief.’ He didn’t accomplish or do what he promised, and she could have also said this lawyer was very aggressive, rude, and so forth, instead of calling him a ‘thug.’ It’s all about choices of words and making the right choice, before getting sued over what you say on the Internet.

Unproven direct accusations, can lead anyone towards serious and costly civil suits, and the saddest part of this, Crystal will suffer financially for the rest of her life because of those two words, she maliciously used. All could have been avoided, had she exercised good self control. And she should have given herself a day or two to cool down, before exposing someone, even a lawyer on the Internet.

Much to do about nothing; “a federal judge in Oregon has ruled that a Montana woman sued for defamation was not a journalist when she posted online that an Oregon lawyer acted criminally during a bankruptcy case, a decision with implications for bloggers around the country.

Crystal L. Cox, a blogger from Eureka, Mont., was sued for defamation by attorney Kevin Padrick when she posted online that he was a thug and a thief during the handling of bankruptcy proceedings by him and Obsidian Finance Group LLC.

U.S. District Judge Marco Hernandez found last week that as a blogger, Cox was not a journalist and cannot claim the protections afforded to mainstream reporters and news outlets.

The judge ruled that Cox was not protected by Oregon's shield law from having to produce sources, saying even though Cox defines herself as media, she was not affiliated with any mainstream outlet.

The lawyer sued Cox for defamation, a legal fight that is typically difficult for plaintiffs to win. Public figures, for example, must prove the defendant knew the statement in question was false, and the statement must be matters of public interest.

The judge found that Padrick was not a public figure, and that the bankruptcy case was not in the public interest. The ruling opened the way for a jury to award $2.5 million to Padrick and Obsidian.

The judge ruled that Cox was not protected by Oregon's shield law from having to produce sources, saying even though Cox defines herself as media, she was not affiliated with any mainstream outlet.

He added that the shield law does not apply to civil actions for defamation.”

It all came down to choice of words used.

More on Federal judge: Montana blogger is not journalist

"Hernandez said Cox was not a journalist because she offered no professional qualifications as a journalist or legitimate news outlet. She had no journalism education, credentials or affiliation with a recognized news outlet, proof of adhering to journalistic standards such as editing or checking her facts, evidence she produced an independent product or evidence she ever tried to get both sides of the story.

Cox said she didn't have the money to pay the judgment, and that she intended to keep posting about the Summit bankruptcy case.

"My intensions are the highest and best," she said. "I know I am sometimes over the top or a little bit vulgar. But I encourage people not to listen to me or him but to look at the documents and make their own decision based on that."

Padrick said the case showed how vulnerable anyone was to someone with a computer. He said he has lost business from potential clients who search his name and firm through Google and find Cox's postings at the top of the list, adding that he has no way to remove them.

"If anyone can self-proclaim themselves to be media, the concept of media is rendered worthless," Padrick said. "When everyone is media, the concept of media is gone."

The judge ruled that Padrick and his company did not have to seek a retraction, as required by Oregon law, before claiming damages, because a blogger is not on the list of recognized media, which include newspapers, magazines, television and radio news, and motion pictures.

Padrick said he did not expect to collect much of the $2.5 million jury award, or to see his business fully rebound. He said his only consolation was that all eight jurors who heard the case believed he had been significantly harmed."

Alexa.com Algorithm SEO’s, Once Again Proven to be highly Inaccurate & Extremely Unreliable, Instead Why NOT GO With Klout, yes, klout.com!

Alexa.com Algorithm SEO’s, Once Again Proven to be highly Inaccurate & Extremely Unreliable, Instead Why NOT GO With Klout, yes, klout.com!

By Marc Chamot

If you rely on Alexa.com to measure your blog’s SEO’s, or anyone else’s, watch out, it’s proven to be inaccurate. Their algorithm system is way out of whack; it’s once again proven to be inaccurate.

Sadly, most advertisers rely on their bunk of crap, but bloggers all over, are getting screwed on advertising dollars!

For quite sometimes, actually, for over two years that I’ve been blogging, I’ve been watching my Alexa.com stats eroding away. And I’ve been wondering, as to why Alexa.com is showing my blog traffic in decline, while Google analytics on Blogger is showing otherwise, the opposite? I’ve had steady growth throughout the years, but since I’ve been syndicated, I have lost that increase I used to have, I’ll admit it’s a little slower now.

Three years ago, Alexa.com had me rated at best, top 76,000 blogs in the U.S. and as high as 140,000 worldwide, and, get this! That was one year into my blog!

And now, three years later, when the Marc Chamot Report is well established, and numerous contents syndicated all over, and they’ve got me at horrid 1,963,827 in the world!

Google Blogger shows otherwise;

Alexa says, they measure blog traffic by people who have the alexa.com toolbar on their browsers, who actually access your blog.

However, most people I know, don't even know what Alexa is, and much-less having their freakin' toolbar on their browsers!

Well, I am not very happy about it, so I will voice my concern. However, syndications do hurt blog traffic, and there’s no question about it.

Partial list on impressions:

If you want something new, and that is way more reliable than Alexa.com, try klout.com.

Klout is way more accurate, and they don’t measure your blog by traffic alone, but they also look at how influential you are through other means, such as Twitter, Facebook and Blogger.

Klout ranks you accordingly, unlike Alexa.com, who doesn’t have any WIDGETS in my blog, or anybody else’s to accurately measure yours and my TRUE blog traffic.

That’s where klout.com comes in. They measure your influence in other ways, other than who reads your blog. My klout page has me scored at 44 out of a possible 100 in web influence, and that’s with limited Facebook options that they haven’t finished!

And wait till they do search engines! Ay caramba! Just imagine what your stats would be then?

So, if you want to accurately measure, and see who’s really influential? Forget those phony Alexa.com stats, just go with klout!

Read more about Alexa.com innacuracies: in Alexa is Becoming Completely Worthless “Alexa is becoming a joke lately. Some people claim that over the previous two years it was already losing reliability, but lately it went completely nuts. Whatever they did on the last algorithm update, it messed up their rankings badly.

I know that many people already ignore Alexa, but most advertisers still consider it when evaluate ad buys on websites, so I think we need to raise the awareness about it, and encourage them to use other available tools to gauge traffic.

The problem emerges when you make comparisons of different websites, and when you bring into the picture other traffic tracking services like Compete.com or Google Trends. I have 5 interesting cases to illustrate this.

Case 1: Daily Blog Tips vs. Daily Writing Tips

This was a natural example since I own both sites and have access to the real traffic figures. Daily Writing Tips (as of today) has an Alexa rank of 91059. Daily Blog Tips has a rank of 112363. The Alexa graph of the reach of both sites tell a similar story:

So if one was to trust Alexa, he would conclude that Daily Writing Tips is getting a lot more traffic than Daily Blog tips right? Wrong!

In fact it is exactly the opposite, Daily Blog Tips generates around 15,000 daily page views, while Daily Writing Tips only 8,000. The proportion of unique visitors is similar.

Now the interesting thing is that both Compete.com and Google Trends show a very similar traffic trend for those two sites, and one that is much closer to the real numbers.”

Ohio Craigslist Killer; Richard Beasley Kill Count # 3

2011-11-25T16:20:00.000-08:00

New Bodies Found Could Bring Craigslist Ad Death Toll to 3
From Fox News

Primary RULE Concerning GREED was ignored here; "If it's TOO GOOD to be TRUE, it USUALLY is.

& you MUST take Craigslist more seriously, as if your life is at stake, my friends"-Marc Chamot
"The discoveries of two new bodies could bring to three the death toll from a Craigslist ad that police say lured victims into a lethal robbery scheme.

A body found Friday in a shallow grave near a mall in Akron may be that of a missing man who answered the ad, the FBI said. And a sheriff in a rural county said later in the day that the body of a white male without identification was found in a shallow grave about 90 miles away.

The FBI is working on the supposition that the body found near the Rolling Acres shopping mall in Akron may be that of 47-year-old Timothy Kern, who hasn't been seen in more than a week, agency spokeswoman Vicki Anderson said.

"do we think it might be? Maybe," Anderson said. "He's missing. We haven't been able to find him. It could possibly be, but we just don't know that yet."

Anderson declined to specify how authorities discovered the body.

Kern, of Massillon, answered the same ad for a farm hand that authorities say led to the shooting death of Norfolk, Va., resident David Pauley, 51, in a rural area south of Akron. A South Carolina man reported answering the ad and being shot Nov. 6 but escaping.

Noble County Sheriff Steve Hannum is under a judge's gag order and can't comment on the case, but the title of his emailed announcement late Friday -- "second body" -- implied the discovery was connected with Pauley's death.

Neighbors where Pauley's body was found last week and the second body was found Friday said police had been in the area and a helicopter had been overhead most of the day but the scene was quiet late in the day.

Two people from the Akron area are in custody: a high school student who has been charged with attempted murder and 52-year-old Richard Beasley, who is in jail on unrelated charges.

Beasley's mother has said he has "a very caring heart" and she prays that newspaper reports he is a suspect are wrong.

FBI agents have contacted people to check on their well-being, FBI spokesman Harry Trombitas said Friday in an email.

One was Heather Tuttle, of Ravenna, who applied for the job Oct. 7 but never got a response. She had forgotten about the posting until an FBI agent called and left a message for her Monday.

When she called back, she was stunned at what the agent told her.

"It could have been me," said Tuttle, 27, who has since taken work as an assistant manager at a gas station.

"When the situation was explained to me, it just instantly made me sick and made me realize how lucky I am that I didn't get a response back," she said.

Another man who responded to the ad has said he met Beasley at a food court at a different mall in the Akron area on Oct. 10. Ron Sanson was told the man was looking for an older, single or divorced person to watch over a 688-acre (280-hectare) farm in southeast Ohio -- the kind of man, Sanson said, whose disappearance might not be quickly noticed.

Sanson and Kern are both divorced. So was Pauley.

Sanson, 58, said he filled out an application and talked for about 20 minutes with Beasley about a $300-a-week job overseeing a swath of land a mile from the nearest neighbor and living rent-free in a two-bedroom trailer with opportunities to hunt and fish and free access to ATVs and snowmobiles.

The farm advertised on Craigslist does not exist; the area where the bodies were found in Noble County is property owned by a coal company and often leased to hunters.

Law enforcement officials have released few details because of the gag order. Hannum, the sheriff in Noble County where Pauley and the South Carolina man were shot, previously said it was unclear how long the ad was online or whether there were other victims.

U.S. Employers Wanton Discrimination towards America's Unemployed & KUDOS to Alabama for Passing America’s Toughest Illegal Immigration Law!

2011-06-12T10:13:00.000-07:00

If you’re Unemployed, No Need to Apply; Sorry U.S. Employers Wanton Discrimination towards America's Unemployed & KUDOS to Alabama for Passing America’s Toughest Illegal Immigration Law!

By Marc Chamot

Americans fighting back!

Kudos to Alabama! Most Americans are getting FED-Up with illegal immigration's. According to recent Newsmax.com polls, out of 126,476 poll takers, 78% don’t support President Obama’s amnesties for illegal immigrants, and most want tougher legislation towards rampant illegal immigration in this country.

It's basically like this; the U.S. Supreme Court have said, if immigration laws are on Federal books, states have every right to enforce them, whether the Feds do or not.

There’s no question that recent Supreme Court’s rulings, upholding Arizona’s anti-illegal immigrants hiring employers and E-Verify laws, was a big blow for Obama Feds on being able to fend off states from pursuing their own enforcements of Federal laws, that Feds aren’t in compliance on enforcing.

Numerous polls have shown that majority of American voters, support Arizona’s get tough on illegal immigrants as well as Alabama’s new stricter policies.

“The measure will require public schools to determine the citizenship status of students -- a provision not included in an Arizona law that has been at the forefront of actions by several states to curb illegal immigration.

Under the Alabama law, police must detain someone they suspect of being in the country illegally if the person cannot produce proper documentation when stopped for any reason.

It also will be a crime to knowingly transport or harbor someone who is in the country illegally. The law imposes penalties on businesses that knowingly employ someone without legal resident status. A company's business license could be suspended or revoked.

The law, which is scheduled to take effect September 1, requires businesses to use a database called E-Verify to confirm the immigration status of new employees.

"We have a real problem with illegal immigration in this country," Bentley said after signing the law. "I campaigned for the toughest immigration laws, and I'm proud of the Legislature for working tirelessly to create the strongest immigration bill in the country."

Even though liberals and pro-illegal immigrant groups are calling this law racist, I’m calling it our right to protect our sovereignty, over mass invasions of UNWANTED visitors from the South of the border, who we have to help fund their ‘FREE’ medical, education and welfare, and not counting all the JOBS they steal and lower wages!

If you’re unemployed, there's no NEED to apply. If you’ve been unemployed for a while, and if you are wondering why you’re not getting hired by now, here’s a reason. American employers are wantonly discriminating against the unemployed!

According to U.S.A Today’s Telling the jobless not to apply is plain dopey “With an extraordinary 6.2 million Americans out of work for more than six months, the last thing a person without a job should have to worry about is blatant discrimination against people without jobs. But that's just what has been happening. Businesses across the USA are warning in their want ads that the jobless need not apply.

One prominent example surfaced last year, when mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson announced that it was relocating its headquarters — with 180 new jobs — to an Atlanta suburb. A posting for a marketing/public relations job read, in part, "No unemployed candidates will be considered at all." Under fire, Sony Ericsson blamed a recruiter and quickly pulled the exclusion.

But similar ads are cropping up in job postings for everything from restaurant managers to forklift operators to medical device salespersons. An ad last month specified that a pet-sitting service in Woodbridge, Va., would only deign to consider pet-sitting assistants who were "temporarily unemployed," as if no dog could be subjected to a sitter whose skills were not utterly up to date.

Up-to-the-minute skills could be an asset. But knowledge isn't lost overnight. To exclude everyone without a job when nearly 14 million people are unemployed — and 427,000 filed new claims for jobless benefits last week — is just plain dumb.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has received so many complaints about bias against the jobless that officials consider it an "emerging issue." At a commission hearing in February, even industry representatives were hard-pressed to come up with a business necessity that would require such exclusion.

And meanwhile, two states are acting on their own to reverse the trend, a New Jersey law, which took effect June 1, make it illegal to exclude the unemployed in help-wanted ads and carries fines of up to $10,000 for repeated violations.

New Jersey Assemblyman Peter Barnes told us one reason he pushed for the measure was learning from his constituents that "to not have a job and then see an ad saying the 'unemployed need not apply,' breaks people's spirit." In New York, several lawmakers are pushing a measure that would prohibit employers from denying jobless applicants an interview or a job solely because solely they are unemployed.

Nearly everybody knows people with sterling résumés, great attitudes and top-notch skills who lost jobs through no fault of their own during the Great Recession. Hiring them is like bringing in fresh talent from the bench. To decide, without seeing a résumé or meeting them, that they're all losers does not speak well of a company's ethics or imagination.

While federal civil rights and age-discrimination laws do not specifically protect the unemployed, they do protect, among others, African Americans, Hispanics and workers 40 and older. If a policy affects any of those groups disproportionately, it might be illegal. With unemployment among some protected groups running much higher than the national rate of 9.1%, a policy that excludes jobless people might, in fact, be considered discriminatory.

Critics insist that the New Jersey law lacks teeth and that measures like New York's would only invite frivolous litigation. They miss the point. The value in such measures isn't to encourage hiring-discrimination lawsuits, which are notoriously difficult to win. The value is to give the unemployed a fair shot at earning a job rather than blithely and pointlessly writing them off.”

You know what folks? We don’t have to take this sitting down and it’s time to fight back! We need for someone to establish an Internet database, for us to expose American companies who hire illegal immigrants and for those who are actively discriminating against the unemployed. I am sure that attitudes will change very quickly.

Insensitive to Japanese, Ammiano’s AB 9, the Anti-Bullying Bill, & Jerry Brown’s Loony Tax Proposals; Poll Saying Voters Have No Faith in Obama & GOP Fixing the Economy:

“Telling it like it is;” Insensitive to Japanese, Ammiano’s AB 9, the Anti-Bullying Bill, & Jerry Brown’s Loony Tax Proposals; Poll Saying Voters Have No Faith in Obama & GOP Fixing the Economy:

By Marc Chamot

Dealing with Morons: First of all, Japan is no joking matter! Anyone who pokes fun at Japan ought to be tarred, feathered and fired. There are some crazy Americans out there, who are coming up with their sorry Japanese Tsunami comments; it’s all absurd, thoughtless and tasteless.

Japan is in the midst of a cataclysmic nuclear disaster, millions of Japanese go to sleep every night in fear of radiation poisonings, and then we’ve got foolish Americans like, “Dan Turner resigned just hours after media reports of his comments in a daily e-mail sent on Friday to the governor's staff and other political allies.

According to a recipient of the e-mail, Turner joked that on that day in 1968, "Otis Redding posthumously received a gold record for his single, '(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay.'" The e-mail added: "Not a big hit in Japan right now."

Aflac has also fired Gilbert Gottfried, “the comedian who is the voice of the insurer's quacking duck in the U.S. Gottfried, who has voiced the duck in numerous commercials since 2000, posted a string of mocking jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on Twitter over the weekend.

"I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'They'll be another one floating by any minute now," he tweeted Saturday.”

Not only Japan is the butt of jokes, but folks with mental problems are getting hit too. “Rep. Martin Hardy, a Barrington Republican, resigned from the New Hampshire House days after making comments supporting eugenics. Today, Harty, a first-term representative, gave his letter of resignation to House Speaker William O’Brien.

“We both agreed that this is what is best for the House to move forward and focus on critical issues,” O’Brien said. Harty’s resignation will become official tomorrow, and there will be a special election to fill his seat.

The 91-year-old Harty made national news last week when he told a constituent that he supported eugenics to get rid of “defective people.”

Governor Jerry Brown’s not the BIG Moron he looks; California has the initiative process you know? If Jerry Brown really wanted that tax increase measure, he could bypass assembly GOP, and he could have an independent source go out and get the initiative signature drive for it. But why isn’t he doing it, if he wants that tax increase so badly? Because he knows, Californians aren’t fools that he wants them to be. Who in their right mind would sign a petition to pay more taxes?

California Gay Assembly member Tom Ammiano is pushing for AB9, the school anti-bulling bill through Sacramento. Good idea! But the problem, the meat of the bill is more about protecting homosexual kids from school bullies. We should have NO tolerance policies on any kind of school bullying, whether someone’s fat, skinny, nerdy, and wearing glasses or speak funny and or they are just red headed.

Problems in 2012, Recent Polls show voters have no faith in President Obama and with GOP/Republicans, in turning the bad economy and lackluster job situations around. “The Democratic president still does better than Republicans: When asked who has a better vision for the years ahead, 45 percent of poll respondents chose Obama and 33 percent picked the Republicans.

“He was promising change,” says poll participant Jessica Wolf, 20, who attends Ivy Tech Community College in Lafayette, Indiana. “I haven’t seen any change. There are no jobs out there for us.”

The poll’s findings underscore the difficulty Obama faces in convincing voters he can boost employment and cut the deficit. The public’s perception of his ability to implement an effective strategy to improve the nation’s long-term prospects is likely to be one of his top hurdles to re-election.”

Telling It Like It Is!

Telling it Like It Is! New changes on this blog:

Time is a killer for most independent bloggers like me. So much is happening around the world and all over, but there’s no time to cover it all.

Ever since I created the Marc Chamot Report, I have been able to make it into a successful and workable blog as is. But somehow, this one has been neglected.

So what’s going on with this blog? I have decided to use this blog as a column, reporting different news events and then opinion on them, all under one posting every week. My other blog delves more on political issues that affects us all and it is in more detail.

This one will be brief, about subjects that interest me and my opinion. I will try to cover more San Francisco and California news since I live here.

I will also use my signature title that I once had, when I published a newspaper many years ago. It will be preceded by “telling it like it is.” I will become free and personal on every posting and that’s a guarantee.

Thank all you for reading my blogs.

Best Wishes,

Marc Chamot

British Mourn Hero Soldier and His Bomb Sniffing Dog Theo, Who Died of Broken Heart:

By Marc Chamot

I never thought much about dogs, while growing up. This silly man always knew they were around, but what they were for was a mystery to me.

I’ve heard terms used you dog! You dirty dog, I’ll kick you like a dog, and you nasty dog, so why are we being so harsh on dogs?

Dogs are more loyal and loving than most human beings I know, how about them apples, eh? Dogs have saved countless of human beings throughout the ages. Dogs have even kept lonely folks alive through companionships and dogs have been our eyes when we’re blind.

In San Francisco, practically everybody has service dogs and now I understand why. So it isn’t so surprising that we’re hearing about another British, Afghanistan war hero and his dog, who are being mourned in Britain.

Theo was a British bred, and one lose and wild MUTT, but he was no ordinary mutt, he was a very special mutt, to fun-loving Lance Corporal Liam Tasker and Theo was a bomb sniffing specialist dog. Theo was smart, and Theo the mutt worked played and slept with Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, they were both inseparable from each other.

But sadly, they both died the same day. They were both flown back to Britain in a somber memorial, for the soldier remembered for his LOVE of animals and the companion he LOVED. You see, Lance Corporal Liam Tasker a dog handler, with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps was killed in a firefight. And his partner, the mutt, with Springer spaniel mix died a few hours later.

British commanders say Teho the mutt died of stress related illnesses, but they don’t want to admit that Theo truly died of a broken heart. I have no doubt that Theo died of a broken heart, along with stress related illnesses. It’s not uncommon to hear about dogs dying when their partners pass away.

Here is more to the sad story; UK soldier, loyal dog, make final journey together "I think we often underestimate the grieving process in dogs," said Elaine Pendlebury, a senior veterinarian with animal charity PDSA. "Some dogs react very severely to their partner's loss."

She said it was not uncommon for pets to respond to an owner's death by refusing food and becoming sick — and the bond between working dogs and their handlers is especially close.

"The bonding that I have seen between soldiers or police and their dogs is fantastic. When you see them working together, it's really one unit."

A military Hercules plane carrying Tasker's body and Theo's ashes touched down Thursday at a Royal Air Force base in southwest England. As the funeral cortege of black vehicles drove slowly away, it was saluted by a long line of military dog handlers, their dogs at their sides. A black Labrador retriever sat quietly beside its handler as the hearse carrying the flag-draped coffin disappeared from view.

Tasker, 26, from Kirkcaldy in Scotland, spent six years as an army mechanic before joining the military working dog unit in 2007. He felt he had found his calling.

"I love my job and working together with Theo," Tasker said in a profile of the pair released by the Ministry of Defense before his death. "He has a great character and never tires. He can't wait to get out and do his job and will stop at nothing."

The soldier and the 22-month-old dog had been in Afghanistan for almost six months, uncovering roadside bombs and weapons in a dangerous daily routine.

Theo became a bit of a military celebrity last month after the defense ministry released photos and video of him and Tasker to highlight the lifesaving work of military dogs. The footage, now deeply poignant, shows Theo — energetic, ears cocked, tail wagging — alongside Tasker searching a compound for explosives.

In it, Theo is seen feverishly circling the dusty area, his nose pressed to the ground. At one point he stops, tail wagging furiously, and begins digging the rocky earth before turning eagerly toward Tasker, who calls out "good boy!" and lets out a chortle of delight before tossing him a treat.

The ministry said then that Theo had been so successful — finding 14 hidden bombs and weapons caches, a record for a team in Afghanistan — that the dog's tour of duty had been extended by a month.”

Financial Woes Persists at the San Francisco Chronicle; More Lay-Offs Coming in April:

Financial Woes Persists at the San Francisco Chronicle; More Lay-Offs Coming in April:

By Marc Chamot

I report, they don’t:

I heard through the grapevine, and sources say the San Francisco Chronicle will be laying-off more unionized workers in their circulation department.

Around March and April, they are converting their San Francisco distribution systems to independent “dealerships,” where they are combining all individual independent carrier routes into numerous dealerships. Dealers will be responsible for all delivery personnel, supplies, re-deliveries of service complaints and they will also be responsible for news rack distribution.

Apparently, the Hearst Chronicle has been unable to stop the financial leaks that have befallen the newspaper industry. Their losing financial spigots’ can't be shut down at the Chronicle.

Unfortunately for the Chronicle, their demise can be traced as far back 2000, when they were sued by San Francisco's political elites, in an extortion racket to steal the Examiner along with $66 million dollars from the Hearst Corporation, when they purchased the Chronicle and eliminated the JOA, a Joint Operating Agreement, between the San Francisco Chronicle and the Examiner.

Along came the Fang family, with political consultant Jack Davis and their political hatchet-man and mouth piece, Warren Hinckle. One of the most corruptive factions in San Francisco politics, they received $66 million dollars on an extortion racket/scam perpetrated by the Fang family, along with their then former ally, Mayor Willie L. Brown and former District Attorney Terrence Hallinan.

Phil Bronstein, the current Chronicle Editor at Large, who was former Editor in Chief, came out with an editorial over two years ago, blaming himself for the demise of the newspaper, and rightfully so.

Federal Judge Vaughn Walker, and yes, that same out of the closet gay conservative judge, who ruled on pro-homosexual gay marriages, smelled the rotten deal that was being perpetrated by those corruptive elements.

He ruled in favor for the new Hearst's Chronicle, and he ordered that they could shut down the old Examiner and weren't obligated to hand out the publication along with $66 million dollars to anybody and let alone the Fang family.

But with Phil Bronstein's insistence, the Hearst Corporation finally decided to break the judges order and cracked to heavy extortion rackets and pressures, the San Francisco political elites were putting on the Hearst Corporation. They decided to go ahead and give the Fang family, the San Francisco Examiner and $66 million dollars to boot.

The Chronicle, a somewhat fiscally conservative newspaper, but with very heavy liberal slants on editorials, the Chronicle has lost most of their northern and valley conservative readers throughout the years.

The newspaper has failed to explain why they compromised its editorials policies, when they hired former Mayor Willie Brown as Op-ED writer, who was under numerous FBI investigations as mayor, and mostly initiated by former Hearst Examiner and Chronicle. Knowing full well the former mayor still has heavy hands in San Francisco politics, and is deeply involved behind the scenes in city's politics today, a DIRECT VIOLATION of their editorial policies.

Now that the Fang family are out of publishing, there is no question the new Mr. Philip Anchutz San Francisco Examiner, is by far the better paper. Not just because I'm an Examiner, I see the demand everywhere for this paper. It's got a lot of ads and great conservative news.

In a liberal city like San Francisco, they pick up and read the Examiner. The Examiner offers the other points of views, they would never get otherwise anywhere else.

I have talked to people, most believe, the Examiner did help, bring in more moderates into the board of supervisors, and if it weren't for the Examiner influencing recent elections, we'd be still stuck with damaging leftist-liberals, like the EVER NUTTY Chris Daly on the board of supervisors.

Bloggers Beware of RightHaven LLC; Federal Courts Used to Shut down Blogs, Discussion Boards & Social Networks, Websites; They Purchase Published Media Contents, Mainly Photos & Troll Internet for Blogs/Websites to Sue & Shut Them Down:

Bloggers Beware of RightHaven LLC; Federal Courts Used to Shut down Blogs, Discussion Boards & Social Networks, Websites; They Purchase Published Media Contents, Mainly Photos & Troll Internet for Blogs/Websites to Sue & Shut Them Down:

By Marc Chamot

“[4] An affiliate of Stephens Media owns half of Righthaven.[5] As of January 19, 2011, 205 cases have been filed.[6][7] Typically, Righthaven has demanded $75,000 and surrender of the domain name from each alleged infringer, and has agreed to settlements of several thousand dollars per defendant.[8] As of December, 2010 approximately 70 cases had settled.”

“And update: This now means all bloggers, forum posters, social networking users, and Usenet users can be sued over news quotes/clippings, and even pictures but the funny thing is you can also be sued for your own content that you created yourself because RightHaven can get the copyright of any bloggers content then sue them for it. So this IS the end of Free Speech as we know it. Copyright is King! Those that want Free Speech have to afford a patent attorney and patent everything they say.”

This is directly from my buddy the Bobo Files; “has anyone else out there ever heard of RightHaven, LLC? Well, if it’s news to you as well – that is very understandable. Check out that link – they’ve only been in business since early 2010. Their primary purpose is to acquire copyrights from newspaper organizations around the country and then actively seek out bloggers to sue them over alleged copyright infringement.

If you look over to the far right there and down a little to see my blog badges – you’ll see a blog from our buddy Brian Hill – U.S.W.G.O. – It is when I followed that link to his blog that I first learned of RightHaven, LLC. Apparently, they sued Brian over a TSA pat down picture – this one. I didn’t see the actual blog post.

Brian had this picture up on his blog – On February 7, 2011 – that’s right – this very past Monday – Brian was served with a court summons. If he doesn’t respond within 21 days he loses by default. If you read the initial link regarding RightHaven, LLC you will see their tactic is to demand a minimum of $75,000 payment and to have the blogger turn over their domain.

If you look to the bottom right of my sidebar – you see I have a “Fair Use Policy” – It essentially states I may use copyrighted material without expressed written permission from the originator and it is in accordance with Title 17, U.S.C. Section 107 which says:

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.”

According to Wikipedia.com; “Righthaven LLC initially purchased copyrights to a number of old news articles from Stephens Media, publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, based on a business model of suing bloggers, other Internet authors, and Internet site operators for statutory damages for having reproduced the articles on their sites without permission.

[4] An affiliate of Stephens Media owns half of Righthaven.[5] As of January 19, 2011, 205 cases have been filed.[6][7] Typically, Righthaven has demanded $75,000 and surrender of the domain name from each alleged infringer, and has agreed to settlements of several thousand dollars per defendant.[8] As of December, 2010 approximately 70 cases had settled.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation soon took up the case on behalf of several defendants.[9] Kurt Opsahl, an EFF attorney, said, "Despite what Righthaven claims, it's hard to interpret these lawsuits as anything else besides a way to bully Internet users into paying unnecessary settlements."[10]

In August, 2010, the company entered an agreement with WEHCO Media in Arkansas to pursue similar actions.[8] Later, it made a similar arrangement with Media News Group, publisher of the San Jose Mercury News.[3]

In December, 2010 Righthaven began to sue website operators over republished graphics and photographs, and also expanded its scope to material originally published by the Denver Post and other newspapers.[11] That month it filed more than a dozen lawsuits over a graphic illustration of the "Vdara death ray" that had gone viral.”

Brian D. Hill of USWGO served with a Court Summons for Civil Action “We have just got served by the clerk of the court and so now we know that the threats RightHaven held against us were legitimate. Even though the accusation was over using a TSA enhanced pat-down photo, any law firm can own copyrights of anybodies stuff which means even my own articles can be copyrighted then I will have to take them down as well over fear of lawsuits so RightHaven has silenced my freedom of speech.”

Righthaven “Really Outdid Itself” Suing Blogger Over Article That Contains His Material “Wendy Davis on MediaPost’s Daily Online Examiner has slammedcopyright thugster Righthaven for filing a copyright infringement suit against Anthony Curtis, the publisher of The Las Vegas Advisor blog.

The allegedly reposted article in this suit was written about the defendant, and used his data and contained quotes from him.

Davis says that Righthaven, who is the outsource copyright plaintiff for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “has filed some questionable lawsuits in the past, but really outdid itself” this time.

According to Davis, the article involved Curtis’s annual survey results on ticket prices for Las Vegas shows.

She writes, Curtis went to the trouble of fielding a survey and then shared his findings with the newspaper, only to find him sued for posting portions of the ensuing article on his own blog. … If there’s ever a situation where publishing an entire article (or the bulk of one) is fair use, Curtis’s post of an article based on his own research should be it.”

There are quite a few things bloggers en masse can do about this. What we can do about it, first, boycott and blacklist, and never step foot in any major websites who are applying those tactics, like the Las Vegas Review Journal for starters. Let their traffic unto their sites die a very slow death.

They are going to find out the hard way, that bloggers and news junkies are integral parts of their website traffic.

We can start our very own boycott badges.

It’s imperative that YOU must give credits and links to all sources of YOUR information, this is not copyrighted violations, especially if you are commenting on the written subject.

As to photos, this is a different story all together. My advice, it’s far safer to use Google’s or other search engines photos, rather than news website’s photos directly and give the credits for those photos.

Governor Jerry Brown’s 800 Pound Gorilla in the Room, Taxpayers vs. Costly State Employee’s Pensions; Budget Killing State Employees’ Pensions Still Being Ignored by Governor in Budget Proposals:

Governor Jerry Brown’s 800 Pound Gorilla in the Room, Taxpayers vs. Costly State Employee’s Pensions; Budget Killing State Employees’ Pensions Still Being Ignored by Governor in Budget Proposals:

By Marc Chamot

Obviously, California’s new governor Jerry Brown has somewhat come to his senses. Aware that the Fed isn’t going to bail out the state from their $25 Billion dollar budget gaps miseries anytime soon, he’s taking action on his own. He’s looking everywhere, but the right places to make those cuts.

Brown’s plan includes $12.5 billion in spending cuts, primarily to entitlements, and $12 billion from a five-year extension of the "temporary" income- and sales-tax hikes that the legislature passed two years ago. But good luck on having voter approved tax increases, it isn’t coming, because Californians have already said they will not vote for anymore tax increases until Sacramento get their house in order.

“Mr. Brown, a Democrat, would have to pick off two Republicans in the assembly and two in the senate to obtain a supermajority for extending the tax increases. Conceding that Republicans are unlikely to go along with Democrats this time around, he has asked the legislature to put a proposition on a June special election ballot to extend the hikes. But getting the extension on the ballot would also require a two-thirds vote of the legislature, and anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist of the Americans for Tax Reform has warned Republicans that a vote for putting the extension on the ballot is equivalent to a vote to raise taxes.”

It’s war! Brown's still avoiding critical issues on budget gap and deficits. It’s going to be taxpayers vs. state employee’s pensions.

Brown’s proposals to eliminate some of the state’s useless agencies, subsidizing costly state universities, FREE cell phones for public employees and cuts in social services, among others, including 10% salary cuts for state employees, isn’t going far enough.

He’s still avoiding that 800 pound gorilla in the room, state employees’ budget killing pensions.

According to San Francisco Chronicle’s Chip Johnson, Jerry Brown skips biggest budget problem: pensions “It was no surprise to see Gov. Jerry Brown take bold and immediate steps to try to derail the state's runaway budget, but the biggest obstacle blocking the tracks remains.

Calper, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, is still the 600-pound gorilla in the room.

At a Monday morning news conference, the state's new governor laid out his plans to cut $12 billion in spending and raise $12 billion in revenue to present a balanced $84.6 billion budget in June.

Days after announcing the elimination of the office of the secretary of education, which operated at a cost of nearly $2 million last year, Brown said the only department spared reductions would be the state's primary education system, which covers kindergarten through high school.

Social service programs would suffer deep cuts under the governor's budget offer along with $500 million each from the state's two public university systems. And while Brown proposed a little more than $300 million in wage reductions to nearly 57,000 state workers, everyone knows that the title fight lies ahead.

The 10 percent wage cut to union workers who had not settled on a bargaining agreement is but a drop in the bucket compared with the cost of providing retirement benefits to 1.6 million workers in 3,000 public agencies and school districts across the state.

In the case of the state retirement system's top earners, including many police and fire departments, employee contributions to retirement plans have been minimal. Until last year, Oakland police officers made no contributions to their own retirement plan. And neither did the Oakland City Council.

Brown made only the slightest reference to the issue on Monday when he mentioned that pension reform was coming.

Whatever he presents must come in the form of a detailed plan that shaves from the high end of the system, because three-fourths of CalPERS retirees earned less than $36,000 in retirement benefits in 2010, according to information on the organization's website. Brown is treating pension reform as a separate fight to prepare for in advance - and he's correct.

When you consider the burden created by enormous pension costs for police officer and firefighter services across the state, it is the single-most-important economic issue at the state level.”

You’re right Chip! Obviously we all figured if Brown got elected, that Jerry wouldn’t have the balls or the guts to take on the powerful state employees unions, but we will see what dances from this budget dilemmas.

An American Outrage! Employers Discriminating Against American Iraqi & Afghanistan Returning War Veterans, U.S. Government has GOT to do a Whole Lot More to GET our VETS back into the Workforce, or ELSE:

An American Outrage! Employers Discriminating Against American Iraqi & Afghanistan Returning War Veterans, U.S. Government has GOT to do a Whole Lot More to GET our VETS back into the Workforce, or ELSE:
By Marc Chamot

It’s an absolute outrage folks! It’s a DAMN shame when our American war Veterans are being discriminated from JOBS in America.

It’s obvious employers aren’t keeping their ends of the bargain, and government isn’t enforcing its OWN laws, making sure Veterans are well taken care of in the work force.

Our WAR Veterans didn’t make or start these idiotic WARS, its government that did, and they are obligated to do a WHOLE lot MORE than what they're doing for veterans. They deserve a whole LOT more than that, you would think!

Employers turn away Iraq, Afghanistan veterans

Soldiers are returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq only to receive the cold shoulder from potential employers,reports The Washington Post's Michael Fletcher.

Ten percent of Iraq and Afghanistanveterans were unemployed in November, compared to the 9.1 percent of non-veterans who did not have jobs. Veterans' employment rate has trailed that of non-vets since at least 2005.

Employers' apparent disregard for the veteran talent pool is undermining "the central recruiting promises of the nation's all-volunteer force: that serving in the military will make them more marketable in civilian life," experts told the Post.

"Everybody says, 'We support the troops,'" 22-year-old Marine vet Calvin Artis told The Post. "But a lot of people turn away when it is time to return the favor."

Artis finally landed a $7.50/hour part-time job working at Quick Chek, a convenience store in Manchester, New Jersey, in September. Artis says the skills he learned as a Marine aren't appreciated in the job market. One hiring manager pointed at him and said to a colleague: "Guess what he used to do? He used to shoot people."

Researchers think as many as 20 percent of veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, and the illness carries some stigma. Experts think that the fear of hiring a worker struggling with PTSD may be a factor in higher unemployment rates for vets.

In California, the unemployment rate for veterans 24 and under is more than 20 percent. Unemployment among disabled vets is close to 50 percent.

"It boils down to a poor economy and also a stigma about the abilities of the young veterans when they come back, as to their physical and mental issues," Navy vet Bob Mulz told KPBS. Mulz, an electronics retailer, helps veterans find business opportunities. "Especially with service-disabled veterans, the attitude is that they are unable to do the work, when in fact disability does not mean inability."

Is it David vs. Goliath? “Operation Payback” A Full Blown Cyber War over WikiLeaks! Supporters & Hackers, Successfully Shut down Visa.com & Sarah Palin’s Credit Card Accounts Hacked & More Cyber Mayhems Against People Who Want to Shut Them Down:

By Marc Chamot

People were warned, if governments or anybody EVER tried to suppress WikiLeaks and the Internet, “freedom of speeches” anywhere, all hell will break loose, and mayhem would befall upon most, and apparently it has.

What’s even MORE fascinating about this new cyber-war, not EVEN the U.S., Russia or even China, has EVER imagined they could ever shut something like this down.

With thousands of worldwide WikiLeaks’ tech whizzes, they’ve got thousands of WikiLeaks portals and mirror all over. No one, no governments can EVER restrict “freedom of Speeches” on the NET! It looks like WikiLeaks can never be shut down!

Is this what really needed to happen, to make the United States change from its old hypocritical and corruptive ways? Only time will tell, BUT I believe after the WikiLeaks dust settles, we will have a NEW people’s World Order, NOT theirs.

Let me make myself perfectly clear. I don’t condone or support sabotaging of websites, but however, I do support the technology ingenuities that WikiLeaks and their supporters, represents going against the world’s most powerful nations. It’s like David vs. Goliath! And we’re witnessing it, this is so fascinating to WATCH.

WikiLeaks supporters cripple Visa, Mastercard websites, hack Sarah Palin in 'Operation Payback' Shadowy supporters of jailed WikiLeaks wizard Julian Assange launched a barrage of cyber attacks on Wednesday that shut down the web sites of Visa and Mastercard.

The hackers, who call themselves "Anonymous," went on Twitter to declare war on the credit card companies for blocking payments to WikiLeaks.

"Operation Payback," their message read. "TARGET: WWW.VISA.COM :: FIRE FIRE FIRE!!! WEAPONS."

Visa temporarily went down at 4 p.m., around the time the Mastercard site was restored after being down most of the day.

In an online interview with Agence France-Presse, the hackers vowed to stage cyber assaults against anyone with an "anti-WikiLeaks agenda."

The group has also claimed credit for taking down the sites of PayPal, the Swiss Post Office bank, and other entities that have begun shutting off the WikiLeaks money spigot.

Sarah Palin told ABC News that she too had been hacked.

"No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics," Palin emailed. "This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts."

The computer-based campaign was waged a day after Assange was thrown into a British jail after a judge denied him bail on a controversial Swedish rape rap.

His supporters call him an Internet hero and the victim of a U.S.-backed frameup to keep him from revealing more secrets on the web.

Meanwhile, the latest batch of WikiLeak-ed documents revealed that Libya bullied the Brits into releasing the Lockerbie bomber.

They warned the British government "flat out that there will be 'enormous repercussions'" if they didn't spring Abdelbaset al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds, cables from the U.S. embassy in Tripoli revealed.

California’s Latest $26 Billion Budget Problems; Described by Officials in both Parties as “Calamitous”

California’s Latest $26 Billion Budget Problems; Described by Officials in both Parties as “Calamitous”

By Marc Chamot

They've made their beds, they’d better lay in it, and as I said before, let California liberal politicians DEAL with their OWN mess, and if, any Washington GOP/Republican votes to bail out California, they WILL be thrown out of office.

NEED I say more? Mamas Don't Let Your State Grow Up to Be California; Importing Third World Immigrants, is turning the State into Third Rate World Economy & Latino Kids are Public Schools new Majorities; but 40% of California’s Hispanic Adults can't Legally Vote:

For California, Another Day, Another Deficit "Five weeks after the Legislature passed a budget that promised to close a $19 billion budget shortfall, California has sunk back into yet another fiscal crisis, this time facing a $26 billion gap that is posing a major new challenge for the incoming governor, Jerry Brown, and seems almost certain to force deep cuts in a state already reeling from three years of financial turmoil.

Mr. Schwarzenegger’s aides said the governor, a Republican who has fought repeatedly with Democrats in pushing through deep spending cuts, will propose another round of reductions to get the state through the end of this fiscal year in June.

“There’s no more easy stuff to cut,” Susan Kennedy, Mr. Schwarzenegger’s chief of staff, said Monday. “We are cutting into bone now.”

These latest budget problems — described by officials in both parties as calamitous — confirm what many officials warned when the Legislature voted in October: the gap was closed, in no small part, through the use of budget gimmickry, including overly optimistic estimates of federal revenue. It has been worsened not only by the continued downturn of the economy, but also by initiatives passed by California voters in November that had the effect of increasing the revenue shortfall by $1 billion.

But even beyond the problems of the current fiscal year, state officials have predicted yet another shortfall, of $19 billion, in the budget for the next fiscal year, which Mr. Brown must propose in January.

California has a history of recovering from financial crises, riding the wave of a national economic growth to recovery, and that is one reason state leaders frequently turn to stop-gap solutions intended to push the problem up the road.

“They are always hoping that tomorrow is going to be a brighter day — and usually it is,” Robert Stern, director of the California-based nonpartisan Center for Governmental Studies, told a reporter. “We’re always bouncing back. We are always written off by you guys, but we always bounce back.”

Still, Mr. Stern said, “this is the worst I’ve seen it.”

Indeed, historic resilience in this economically powerful state is being tested as never before in this recession, prompting concern that fundamental changes in the state’s economy combined with a tightening welter of restrictive voter initiatives on legislative decisions about spending and taxing, are thrusting California into an era of long-lasting austerity."

It’s NO, NO, and NO, to False Immigration Propagandas! California U.S. Rep. Michael Honda and NFL’s Scott Fujita PUSHING “Reuniting Families Act” Again:

It’s NO, NO, and NO, to False Immigration Propagandas! California U.S. Rep. Michael Honda and NFL’s Scott Fujita PUSHING “Reuniting Families Act” Again:

By Marc Chamot

Michael Honda just won’t give up and he KEEPS drinking the Kool-Aid!

The San Francisco Chronicle came out with California U.S. Representative’s Michael Honda’s opinion piece, on the Reuniting Family Act and his information is laced with untruths. So I’m here once again, to correct his none-FACTS.

“The Reuniting Families Act, which I will reintroduce in the 112th Congress, allows all Americans to be reunited with their families. That includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender permanent partners (adults who are in committed lifelong relationships and are financially interdependent).

In the wake of Tuesday's election, political analysts are busily predicting what the outcome means for Congress and the country. With Republicans now in the majority in the House of Representatives, many policies will probably change radically. What must not change, however, is work on immigration reform.

Limiting immigration flows has proved to be economically unsound and harmful to American families. Lengthy waits waste precious government resources and can discourage potential applicants from using legal channels to join their families in the United States.

We understand that during tough economic times, the natural reaction is to close the borders and look inward. Yet, the irony of anti-immigration sentiment, which fears a loss of jobs for Americans if more immigrant workers enter the United States, is that it is fiscally more prudent to legalize, insure, employ, reunite and educate our immigrants than to keep families apart.” By Michael Honda, Scott Fujita

It’s NO, NO, and NO! To Michael Honda and NFL player Scott Fujita, I say BULL! Obviously those TWO, did not see this recent study; “A new study released by the Pew Hispanic Center confirms that immigrants are benefiting before native-born workers from the slow-paced economic recovery.

Foreigners gained 656,000 jobs in the first year following the official end of the recession in June 2009. Native-born workers lost 1.2 million jobs, according to an analysis of government data by Pew, a nonpartisan research group."

Back in Honda's family immigrant days, we're talking about thousands of Japanese immigrants coming here, and what he's proposing, is millions more to come here.

And here’s another thing to ponder, our entitlement benefits are overloaded, many immigrants come here broke, they NEVER paid into it, they become legal and they get taxpayer PAID benefits. MY FRAKING BENEFITS that I PAID for, that I may never receive, and that THEY NEVER PAID FOR, No “freakin’ way Jose!

It seems like Immigrants do benefit, BUT we’re getting the shorter end of the shtick! This is the kind of Representatives in government we’re ALL getting sick and tired of.

And these knuckleheads still don't GET IT!

More on this knuckleheaded idea from this “prized” California U.S. Representative;Immigration reform should stay on front burner By Michael Honda, Scott Fujita “We are both of Japanese American descent - I was raised (and Scott's father was raised) in World War II-era internment camps for Japanese Americans. Thus we are keenly aware of the need for our society to be more inclusive.

Yet our family-based immigration system has not been updated in 20 years. Nearly 6 million people are stuck in perpetual waiting, which is both unproductive and inexcusable. Five-year separations are quite common; so are 20-year estrangements from siblings and elderly parents.

Waits are so long that families receiving visas often find that their children have to reapply as adults and go to the back of the line. These administrative backlogs disproportionately affect Asians, Latinos and women.

The benefits of this policy cannot be overstated: American workers with their families by their side are happier, healthier and more able to succeed than those living apart from loved ones for years on end. By pooling resources, families can do together what they can't do alone - start family businesses, create American jobs and contribute more to this country's welfare.

The healthier the community, the more expendable income is available and the lower the burden on government social services. This correlation is well researched and well substantiated, but it is up to us to make it a reality.

This is a time when we must use every available resource to stimulate our economy and control government spending. That is why comprehensive immigration reform makes good sense.

It is time to reunite America. No family excluded.

Rep. Michael Honda, D-San Jose, is chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus. Scott Fujita, a member of the executive board of the National Football League Players Association, is a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns.

I VOTED today; but No Matter What, Meg Whitman Still Loses, However, Carly Fiorina’s GOT Great Shot to Unseat Barbara Boxer! Gravy Trains & Sweetheart Deals pretty Much Over for San Francisco’s Public Employees & Their Unions:

I VOTED today; but No Matter What, Meg Whitman Still Loses, However, Carly Fiorina’s GOT Great Shot to Unseat Barbara Boxer! Gravy Trains & Sweetheart Deals pretty Much Over for San Francisco’s Public Employees & Their Unions:

By Marc Chamot

I voted this morning. I went to San Francisco Silly Hall, excuse me, City Hall and voted early. What happened was I never received my absentee ballot in the mail. It was getting closer to elections deadline, I had to act fast, and I had to vote so I did.

I want to clarify something here and now, about those myths. Those news stories coming out, saying Democrats are coming strong and early with their ballots are not true at all. Actually, at Silly Hall, I specifically told my poll worker, I’m Independent, and where are those ballots? She replied with, “they are all the same and we don’t distinguish party affiliations here.”

So how do some news media’s come out and say, who’s voting, which party and so forth? There weren’t any pollsters around to ask me, so, how do they know this, unless it is made up from thin air? I can happily debunk this theory as pure nonsense!

Since I don’t have the time to talk about everything that was on the ballot, however, I will talk about key issues that concerned me.

First with California’s governor’s race, I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for anybody else, but Meg Whitman. Okay, Okay, I said, I wouldn’t vote for her, but governor “Moonbeam” again? No freaking way, José!

I cannot in myself conscious ever VOTE for left-wing Democrats, one that is in bed with government/public employee’s unions. Increasing taxes, just to pay their ill earned loots.

You can count Meg Whitman out; sadly she’ll be the losing party for the California governorship. She’s ten points down to Brown and as I said before, she lost her bid for governorship not too long ago. She began strong, and then wavered from traditional Republican conservative values, and then began sounding very Arnold Schwarzenegger “RINO” like. For anyone who wants to know, “RINO” are Republican in Name Only, Democrats dressed up as Republican in sheep clothing.

She was going so far left in the past few months that California conservatives, had to threaten her to stop. She reneged on getting tougher on illegal immigration, as well as California’s Cap and Trade issues, which are damaging state JOBS with so many out of control Green regulations. And she even flirted with the idea of accepting Obamacare!

Meg Whitman angered her base and potential Independents through rampant flip-flopping on issues. Despite spending over 162 million dollars on her campaign, she wasn’t credible. My candidate was Steve Poizner, and Meg’s multi-millions spent on the campaign, made sure he wasn’t able to be the nominee for governor.

At first, I was pretty high on her, flip-flops after, flip-flops, pretty much did me in. She didn’t have the character we’re looking for in conservative candidates for California governor.

Carly Fiorina, Republican battling to unseat liberal Barbara Boxer, is entirely a different story. Where Meg Whitman failed, she succeeded. She stuck to her guns on issues crucial for conservatives and for the state of California, such as getting tougher on illegal immigration, dealing with run-away public employees’ pensions and their unions, stopping the Cap and Trade fiascos and undoing Obamacare.

Carly Fiorina has absolute chances to topple Barbara Boxer, and there is no question about it! Democrats are pretty unpopular with the populace, however, most voters, and even Latinos have seen jobs decimated, because of environmentalists and their political cronies, destroying farmlands due to lack of water and other demented policies.

I voted in favor of San Francisco’s propositions B and G, ENDING gravy trains for special interests groups and sweetheart deals for city’s public employee’ and their unions. It will pass, we’re not dummies!

Passing propositions B and G on Election Day is urgently necessary. The City’s taxpayers need to put the brakes on public employee pensions and benefits right now to head off a quickly approaching breakdown of cash-starved public services for everything from street repairs and public safety to kids’ and seniors’ support programs.

The numbers could hardly be more ominous, leading unavoidably to civic bankruptcy unless major changes are made at once. City budget deficits close to our current $462 million appear likely to keep repeating. But this year alone, The City is spending $829 million on pensions and benefits for all municipal employees.

The city controller forecasts that these costs will nearly double in five years and continue rising nonstop. City employee benefits are on track to cost twice as much as the school district’s entire budget by 2012, or 40 times more than we can currently afford for upkeep of our streets and parks.

Prop. B would have all city employees contribute 9 percent to 10 percent of salaries toward their defined-benefit pensions, instead of the current 0 to 7.5 percent. Right now, most city employees pay little to nothing for their personal health insurance. With Prop B, they would still pay far less than private-sector workers. That’s essentially all there is to it, and these reasonable changes would quickly start saving San Francisco taxpayers approximately $120 million a year.

Prop. G would amend the City Charter to require that Muni operators negotiate for their wages, benefits and work-rule changes — just like our well-paid police officers and firefighters, plus all other San Francisco public employees.

There’s no denying that driving a bus through the streets of San Francisco is hard, demanding work. But unfortunately the members of Transport Workers Union Local 250-A have repeatedly proven they will continue wasting millions of our scarce transit dollars on their absurdly self-serving work rules unless they have something to gain as part of a collective bargaining deal.

Obamacare “Failures” Employers Looking to drop Job Based Healthcare for Employees & Public Employees Unions & Their Democratic Allies Fighting for their Political Lives:

Obamacare “Failures” Employers Looking to drop Job Based Healthcare for Employees & Public Employees Unions & Their Democratic Allies Fighting for their Political Lives:

By Marc Chamot

As predicted, Obamacare, the federal healthcare “failure,” is going to be a royal fiscal nightmares for this nation. It has already begun, employers looking to drop job based coverage’s for all employees. Obamacare wasn’t supposed to undercut employer plans that provide majority of health coverage’s for Americans.

Boeing notified their workers, healthcare costs are “boing-up,” just a pun on Boeing. Democratic Governor, Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, lays out plans for employers to get out of healthcare, by shifting workers into taxpayer subsidized insurance markets that will open in 2014, through Obamacare.

This is financial disasters' just waiting to happen. Even a big dummy like me, understands the implications and ramifications of this national disaster. The demise of employer based healthcare could be costly, and extremely destructive, for American healthcare and the nation’s bottom lines. Obviously, they aren’t going to do this publicly, I’ll be done quietly.

The new incompetent law in Obamacare gives them the right loopholes to do it. The first one, a hefty tax on high-cost health insurance, aimed at the most expensive coverage. The infamous, “Cadillac Tax” doesn’t hit until 2018.

That tax was Boeing’s primary reasons and concerns, as to why they are looking to eliminate it, it’s because they got a whopping 50% increase in deductibles from insurance companies. The tax is 40% of the value of plans above $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for families.

Even though employers could face fines of $2,000 per worker, it’s still way cheaper paying the fine than insuring workers’ healthcare.

Political lines on the proverbial sands have been drawn. It’s pretty clear now, this Midterm elections, it’s going to be between the haves and have not’s right down the line. Labor unions, mainly government employees unions, are fighting for their lives and futures death battles for survival.

If it were any other time, other than current economic chaos, the American people couldn’t have cared, whether union backed Democrats would get the nod, they probably would have never known about the deceits and cahoots, emanating between Democratic politicians and big government unions.

The cat is out of the bag! This upcoming election will probably be the biggest defeat for U.S. government unions all over. Maybe, not as bad in California, where they are so politically intertwined and deeply entrenched within the “unbreakable” and corruptive California Democratic machines.

People who work in the private sectors, none government JOBS, know they are getting the RAW deals. A sector that once created jobs, prosperities and grand opportunities for the majority of Americans is gone. But these people are seeing shameful displays from Democrats along with their union allies.

People have taken sides on this great divide. On one side, are the Tea Party, Republicans, some Democrats and majority of Independents, Main Street and small business, while on the other, who STEAL from the private sector, to further enrich and empower themselves, along with their political allies, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Democratic majorities, with Labor Unions, radical Green environmentalists, trial lawyers, most mainstreams medias and college professors.

“The biggest political spending in 2010 is by the American Federation of State, county and Municipal Employees, AFSCME will have funneled an estimated $87.5 million into the campaign by Nov. 2, all of it going to Democrats and an amount far exceeding the chamber's $75 million. More millions are being poured into Democratic campaign coffers by other public-sector unions.

On Friday, for example, the National Education Association spent $500,000 on ads aimed at helping Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak defeat former Rep. Pat Toomey, the Republican in the Pennsylvania Senate contest.

But there is a fundamental problem here that FDR understood years ago and that AFSCME President Gerald McEntee inadvertently highlighted when he told the Journal: "We're spending big. And we're damn happy it's big. And our members are damn happy it's big -- it's their money."

Actually, it's not simply "their money." Every dollar paid to a unionized government worker was taxed away from somebody who earned it in the private sector. So when these unions spend millions to elect Democrats who will vote for bigger government, they are literally using money from the productive part of America to enable more government taxing and spending.

By Marc Chamot

"If you think these charades will make us forget about Arizona’s AB 1070, sanctuary cities or the Mexican border? We’re not being FOOLED!"

It’s all fine with what he’s doing, but enforcing “federal laws,” should be on even grounds. If HE thinks these lawsuits directed against his base, attacking popular left-wing based agendas, will convince the rest of us otherwise, he’s totally mistaken. This won’t work.

It's all for VOTES! Like I've been telling YOU folks all along! Illegal aliens, Latinos, amnesties and Open Border Groups are Obama's number one agendas and priorities, while economy and JOBS for Americans are left behind!

If President Obama’s wondering why his popularity polls collapsing? Maybe, it is because of hypocrisies’ like these.

Attorney General Eric Holder: Federal laws enforced even if marijuana bill in California passes

"Attorney General Eric Holder has a message for Californians who think the state's ballot measure legalizing the recreational use of marijuana will be approved: Even if it passes, nothing will change.

Holder said federal authorities would continue to enforce U.S. laws that declare the drug is illegal, even if voters approve the initiative.

In a strongly worded letter to former officials at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration — who wrote him expressing concern about the measure — Holder said the Obama Administration "strongly opposes" Proposition 19.

He argued the passage would complicate drug enforcement efforts.

"Accordingly, we will vigorously enforce the (Controlled Substances Act) against those individuals and organizations that possess, manufacture or distribute marijuana for recreational use, even if such activities are permitted under state law," he said.

Unlike the Bush Administration, Obama has taken a more lenient stance on medical marijuana. Last year he said federal attorneys would no longer go after patients who use medical pot — which is legal in California — or the dispensaries that allocate it.

Supporters of the initiative argue that decriminalizing marijuana would reduce drug-related violence and bring tax revenue for the cash-strapped state.

According to a recent poll, California voters were more likely to vote against the measure 53% to 43%.

Several in favor of Prop. 19 pointed out the response was similar to when California passed its medical marijuana bill 14 years ago.

"This is 1996 all over again," Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which backs Prop. 19, told the Los Angeles Times. He noted that now 13 states and D.C allow the use of medical pot.

"All that happened without a single change in federal law."

'Don't ask, don't tell' appeal puts Obama in a tough spot At a time when President Barack Obama is trying to rally his political base, his administration is fighting to temporarily preserve the ban on gays serving openly in the military, even though his core supporters want it ended now.

The Justice Department is appealing a court ruling that would stop the Clinton-era "don't ask, don't tell" policy even as Democrats fighting hard to hold their majorities in Congress are looking to motivate the voters who delivered the White House to this president.

The appeal, although expected, will do little to help Democrats trying to inspire those voters and hold back a Republican tide on Nov. 2.

As the Justice Department sought a temporary delay in the court order, pending an appeal, the president vowed in a meeting with young adults Thursday, "This policy will end and it will end on my watch."

But he cast himself as constrained by the legal process.

"I can't simply ignore laws that are out there," he said. "I have got to work to make sure that they are changed."

A Menlo Park, San Mateo, California Illegal Alien, With no Drivers License, Eric Olvera Nieto Plows into Motorcyclist & Says “NO,” When Injured Cyclist BEGS for HELP and Bailed OUT After Arrest!

A Menlo Park, San Mateo, California Illegal Alien, With no Drivers License, Eric Olvera Nieto Plows into Motorcyclist & Says “NO,” When Injured Cyclist BEGS for HELP and Bailed OUT After Arrest!

By Marc Chamot

Outrageous! Since when do illegal immigrants get bail in this country?

“Authorities say a heartless driver who plowed into a motorcyclist and said “No” when the victim begged for help is an unlicensed illegal immigrant.

Eric Olvera Nieto, 21, allegedly struck the motorcyclist, who was stopped at a red light, in a horrific crash in Menlo Park on Monday, police said.”

And this illegal alien, gets bailed out! Can you folks believe that? Well what do you know? San Mateo County bail out illegal immigrants!

An illegal alien driver, without driver’s license, plowed into a motorcycle and says NO, when the injured motorcyclist begged for help.

How many more Americans will have to get hurt, maimed, or KILLED by these illegal trespassers? This is outrageous! We’ve got disgusting illegal alien problems in this country, many who don’t even care for human lives, or OUR lives roaming around!

This is why; we need to RID illegal aliens OUT of this country, no matter what.

And Obama, Democrats and some Republicans are pussy footing around on sanctuary cities, counties like San Mateo and border issues! And that's why Americans are getting pissed off!

Man hits motorcyclist with car, flees on foot

By: MIKE ALDAX
October 7, 2010

The victim survived the 5:50 a.m. wreck but suffered several fractured vertebrae, they said. Nieto was allegedly driving at high speed when striking the motorcyclist, who was thrown onto the car’s hood and then onto the concrete, according to San Mateo County prosecutors.

Nieto allegedly stopped, got out of his vehicle and walked up to the victim. The victim asked for help, and Nieto said “no” and fled on foot, prosecutors said.

Cops said they later found Nieto at his girlfriend’s home in Ripon.

The “suspect fled because he is illegally in the U.S. and an unlicensed driver,” prosecutors said.

Nieto pleaded not guilty to the felony charges Wednesday. The case was set for preliminary hearing on Oct. 19. Bail was set at $50,000 and Nieto remains in custody, police said.

Were NOT Getting What We're Paying For! Members of Congress’ Perks & Salaries, Living high off the Hogs; While Regular Folks ARE Going Broke & Living like Paupers:

By Marc Chamot

I saw this on OpenEdNews.com. A VERY good progressive and Liberal site, I belong to, but never posted. You JUST got to weed out the GOOD from the bad.

I think Michael Collins drives home his point. The GOOD news, I think, I believe, eventually, a NEW third party will develop out of all this mess. It’s got to, because these federal governments of ours are way out of touch with all Americans and definitely they’re OUT of whack!

I agree, WARS should be declared by U.S. congress, NOT by a sitting U.S. president. However, I do not buy into the rest of Michael Collin’s article.

We ARE definitely NOT getting what we're paying for, with these sorry bunches, we've got now.

Lawless Nation - Congress

Placed in office through legalized bribery, supported by public funding for their every need, protected against the laws that we're expected to obey, Congress represents the epitome of lawlessness; lawmakers who have no regard for the law. (Image)

Members of Congress are different. They get to retire at age 62 with lifetime pensions and health benefits. To qualify, they need just five years of service. They get free phone, mail, and other communications plus paid domestic and foreign travel. Supposedly, they're not allowed to take gifts but the list of exceptions offers plenty of room for luxurious appreciation.

The biggest gift of all - a six to seven figure job with a major corporation or lobbying firm right after retirement - is still fair game for any member. The revolving door never stops.

But supposedly Congress passes laws for the public benefit. They come to power based on contributions from their patrons, usually large donors. Then members resolutely deny that these contributions translate into legislation favorable to the donors. If pressed, member's state that the contributions merely buy access not votes.

In fact, members routinely vote the interests of their largest patrons. Thus, the contributions are a form of legalized bribery ("a favor or promise given to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust.").

The financial industry contributed hundreds of millions to current members. When Wall Streetwas about to fail in late 2008, they called in their markers and got an immediate bailout of $700 billion and "total potential Federal Government support (that) could reach up to $23.7 trillion" from the Federal Reserve and other government sources. This was in the midst of the 2008 federal election cycle when members solicited funds from the very people they bailed out.

Would this have happened without years of contributions by the financial industry?

What other incentives were involved that were not revealed?

The people face a health care crisis of epic proportions, losing insurance, under coverage for life threatening conditions. They have to delay or cease medication due to ever rising costs. Health care is unaffordable to many.

Congress addressed the problem much like they did the financial crisis. A bill was passed that left health insurance companies at the center of health care taking a handsome profit for doing little to nothing. Prior to passage of the health bill, the insurers raised rates shamelessly and did so again after the legislation was enacted, using the very health reform passed for the people to gouge the people for more money.

In the midst of total unemployment at about 20%, with the poverty on the rise, what has Congress done? The vast majority of citizens get little or no attention while those who cause the financial meltdown are handsomely rewarded. Members of Congress fret that they simply can't get the votes to help the people.

But we know different.

Congress routinely ignores the Constitution. Article I outlines "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress." Section 8 of the article lists this power: "To declare War." When presidents make war without congressional authorization, Congress passes legislation that negates its war making powers in order to legitimize the illegal act by the executive branch.

These wars are funded by Congress even when a war was found to be based on lies, as was the case in Iraq. Congress continues to fund the efforts claiming it is necessary to protect the troops. They fail to acknowledge that the absence of illegal wars harmful to the nation is the best troop protection available.

With the illegal wars underway, Congress passes legislation to address the problems created by the illegal wars in the name of national security. As they do this, the real issues of national security, the legal rights of citizens and the economic well being of the nation, are violated or ignored.

I don't usually post IP numbers on my readers, but this one really takes the cake!! And thank YOU White House, for visiting the Marc Chamot Report, just maybe and hopefully, you learned something while being here. It’s has got me wondering, why was the White House here?

My Top-Ten reasons why the Obama White House read the Marc Chamot Report:

#10 For a JOB offer!

#9 checking out to see if any contrabands are being sold and looking for fake “Harvard University” diploma mills being USED here.

#8 looking for a “mouthy” and Jewish/European illegal immigrant to deport!

#7 trying to figure out which country will accept the newly deported Marc Chamot, Bolivia, Switzerland or Israel.

#6 giving them true reasons to enact “Net Neutrality” laws and the “fairness doctrines” and getting Google to Ban the Marc Chamot Report.

#5 Making SURE TAXES are being PAID.

#4 do to Marc Chamot, what they did to that UK Teen. "Teen banned from US for LIFE over Obama slurs. “A drunken moment of rage has left one UK teen banned from the US for life. 17-year-old Luke Angel admits he sent US President Barrack Obama an abusive email where he called him 'a prick'. Mr Angel told the Daily Mail that incident happened after he had too many"...”READ FULL ARTICLE

#3 Place Marc Chamot on the “Terror No Fly Lists,” like they've DONE everybody else.

#2 trying to figure out, if Marc Chamot drinks anything stronger than beer!

#1 Checking out Chamot’s birth certificate and naturalization papers, making sure he’s a REAL American Blogger!

Shoot yeah! I'll drink a beer with President Obama! But hopefully, they learned something about restrictive policies on JOB creations plus a whole LOT more! We'll see what happens, won't we?

Blog Declined BlogUpp! Upon Further Review; It Was ALL ONE BIG Misunderstanding; I'm Impressed! Problem Resolved Like TRUE Professionals They ARE!
By Marc Chamot

After I posted my angry blog post on the BlogUpp! piece, they were kind and very RESPECTFUL enough to communicate with me. It turned out, it was all BIG misunderstandings from both of our parts. I do agree that BlogUpp! is a very GOOD site to belong to. Probably that's what disappointed me, in not being able to belong with them. That got me to write my rant.

I was SO impressed on how rapidly dealt with my problem, in a VERY professional way, where you MAY NEVER find that from most websites around the NET. I will say this, there are NO more hard feelings towards BlogUPP! right now. I appreciate BlogUpp!'s honesty and candors and Thank You.

Dear Marc,

We left a reply on Twitter yesterday soon after you reported, stating the actual reason.
First of all - our core value is to promote freedom of speech, and quality blogs of ALL topics (except adult, warez and illegal).

To the point now: artificial traffic has been noticed on your blog, which leads to waste of community impressions. Note that blogs performance is monitored constantly in the best interest of entire blogger community. Respectively, the traffic on your blog that has been classified as artificial (based on a number of factors) - is simply consuming lots of community impressions in the widget, without any input for other bloggers.

We do this kind of monitoring on a regular basis, and suspend blogs only to maintain the quality of traffic and of the community. Since we do not require bloggers to provide email addresses upon their intention to participate, we don't engage in communicating our actions via email, rather via widget indicator (as our policy states).

Should you frankly feel that your blog traffic is genuine, then we apologize. We've unsuspended your blog and should you want to reconsider your participation, then you are advised to place the widget above the fold in blog sidebar.

Note as well that we've updated recently the algorithm for Top100 blogs in our directory, to reflect more accurately the list of Top100 blogs.

Thanks for understanding, and apologies for any troubles this may caused.

PS: note that our service is US based, while some of our community ambassadors are located in Europe.

Sincerely,
The BlogUpp! Team

Blog Declined BlogUpp! Upon Further Review; BlogUpp.com is Chisinau Moldova OWNED & Banned the Marc Chamot Report for Speaking against Foreign Trades Imbalances & Outsourcing of American JOBS to China & Abroad!

Blog Declined BlogUpp! Upon Further Review; BlogUpp.com is Chisinau Moldova OWNED & Banned the Marc Chamot Report for Speaking against Foreign Trades Imbalances & Outsourcing of American JOBS to China & Abroad!

By Marc Chamot

Normally I couldn’t care less about what a two-bit and insignificant Net outfit like BlogUpp! does. Actually, traffic driven unto my blog was pretty insignificant to notice by their “free” service.

The only thing I liked about BlogUpp is that they automatically update your Twitter and Facebook pages, with your current blog posts for you. But they got the advertising promotions off your blog and writing for it and not you!

The reason I’m annoyed, “free” speech being stifled, because they didn’t support my Pro-American JOB concerns and views.

Five days ago, on September 18th, BlogUpp.com accessed my blog and banned me from their services, without NOTICE. I was wondering why my link was gone, and then on their widget I read “Blog Declined BlogUpp!” I did some investigating to find out why I was banned by BlogUpp!

I became even MORE suspicious as to why, BlogUpp! was hiding their country of origin? I Googled all over, I even went through their website to locate country of origin, there were no contact, no addresses of any kind, just an email contact address.

And to top it off; the owner of the website, is out of former Russian Republic of Chisinau Moldova, lodged between Ukraine and Romania. That is where they are located according to their last viewing of my blog, according my statcounter.com on their IP checks, as you can see next;

To back up my suspicions about BlogUpp.com, according to Alexa.com, BlogUpp is mainly a Russian blog directory. 9,579

Traffic Rank in RU

Country

It’s a pro-globalization, free trades website and blog directory. The readers of blogupp.com, mainly their foreign ones, they couldn’t care less if an American is bitching about jobs losses or if factories are going abroad for cheap labor, at our EXPENSE of being unemployed and or EVEN care about our kinds of freedom of speech! If you're American and criticize ABOUT JOBS being stolen abroad, you're called a RACIST and then banned!

So,

Between the dates BlogUpp! looked at my blog, and they both, miraculously coincided with my anti-China RANTS and anti-outsourcing of JOBS to foreign countries! Those were the only two articles I had written at the time they didn’t like.

Record Gains in U.S. Poverty; 2009 Census Figures Reports Over 45 Million Americans in Poverty & Fast Approaching 1960 Disastrous Levels: While we’re “outsourcing” jobs abroad, and with out of controls and unenforceable visa policies, and failures to secure our porous southern borders, and while we’re allowing undocumented’s to take our scarce jobs, all the while lowering our wages.

We've GOT serious and historic record gains in U.S. poverties!

U.S. Congress Wants to Get Tougher on China, Over Unfair WTO’s & Other Predatory Trade Practices, Monetary Violations that’s KILLING American JOBS, But Obama’s White House too slow to react:

Congress is pressuring President Obama to get tougher on China trades. They are pressuring Obama to take tougher stances with China, over their unfair and anti-competitive trade practices, and monetary manipulations that are costing millions of jobs for Americans. Some politicians are now beginning to believe, these anti-competitive practices coming from China, has been going on long enough. China has built up a 2 to 1 trade gap over the United States.

Senators are getting angry, because the Obama administration FAILED to cite China as currency manipulators in their latest report. Instead the Obama White House took the same position as other presidents, urging China to move faster to allow its currency to raise value against the dollar.

The BOTTOM line, any REAL PATRIOTIC American, should DUMP BlogUpp! from their websites, they're not from this country, they want our JOBS and they couldn't CARE about OUR "freedoms of Speech!"
