Let me share with you some of what I call the little symbols to let people know what is corrupt in your community. Without names to protect those guilty of it!!!
1. The person who buys pastries every morning from a local bakery, then brings into a shop to eat which the sign clearly states no outside food or beverages. And the bag he carries the pastry in has the local bakery printed for everyone to see. Clearly this person is corrupt, has previously been asked to not bring in his outside food, puts up such a commotion, then gets ignored as too much of a hassle to stop him.
2. The people who brag about how to get a ticket fixed. You know the type, we all love 'em, but folks we have to be honest here. It is a corrupt form of government that allows this.
3. The sign says no pets, only service animals. Yet someone who continues to bring in a pet, even though carried in their arms, pushes the limits again. Why do such people want to get their way, exert corrupt principles into the system, acknowledges to others it is ok to get away with it and one who works inside the legal system?
4. My personal pet peeve is the people who smoke. The sign says no smoking on the premise, the ash tray is outside the door, so what do most people do, inhale the last possible drag, then wait to exhale inside. Are we such a society that forgets others rights? The guilty rule our lives?
Come spend some time with me in a meeting to take back our rights for the innocent. Share you thoughts if you feel strongly one way or the other on this topic.
5. The car without a brake tag or license plate is the ultimate insult. Why?
You tell me, sincerely from a publicly conscientious person.

the Need for Profit (Prophet)
Greed is good, at what cost I ask. Do Middle East business owners negotiate the prices first offered before a purchase or sale? Of course, by what constitutional right do you ask is this allowed? Are we a debt collector society, I ask. Read below a Facebook message that moves me to post it here for more discussion:
In my recent transactions I was denied my right to negotiate a price. A dispute started, pending the outcome, a complaint with the LA Attorney General is filed, pending outcome, why do you ask? To protect my rights as a US Citizen who believes the constitution protects me if I fight for it. Back to any business, not just the Middle Eastern ones, who have their own ideas about fair business practices. The courts no doubt here view this differently than the ones overseas. How much do you know about what goes on here? Hence the term prophet, one inspired by divine calling. As a society do we care anymore about the difference between PROFIT or PROPHET. With this thought I ask you for inspiration. Help me decide how to view our debt, our collection efforts, our spending, and our courts.
We need faith more than ever!
I know there are at least a half dozen collection/counseling company people in these groups attempting to find clients. We have been propositioned multiple times in many unique ways. I do not know all the names, etc, since many are quite unassuming. I am posting this message to the group to be sure that all are reached for this important message:
You need to leave the group.
Do not attempt to engage me in a contract, offer compensation for referrals, etc. We will never do business with any entities making income based upon the same unjust laws that we aim to delete. I am sure there are more than a few "poverty pimp" organizations around who would be interested, but we are not and will never be. Even as financially tenuous as this organization is, we will never be even remotely tempted to entertain these sorts of offers.
We also will never take money for advertising, and never feel compelled to accommodate such businesses should they donate to the group. . In other words, there is absolutely no interface that we wish to have with you, and you waste your time by pursuing such goals.
So please leave now, and thanks in advance for the understanding.

Dirty Trick on Human Nature
| From:"Pete Herzog" To:"ISECOM News" |
| When social engineering works, it takes more from you than your money or your data. It grabs your curiosity, takes your feelings, and damages your willingness to trust. But that's only if you notice you've been stung. Thieves and scammers know the tricks that exploit key things that are fairly common in human nature. These are things we can often rise above when we think about it later, the things that make us say, "How could I fall for that?" But it's not just evil hackers and thieves who use these dirty tricks. They're all around us and they are subtle. You can find them in sales, advertising, politics, social groups, families, relationships, and many more places. They are rarely illegal but they abuse our nature just the same. Since most of them we never see coming, we never learn just why it happened. That means it will just keep on happening and we just blame ourselves more and more. But you can see them. You can learn to see them all. But you need to see them as they happen, not after the sting. To do that, you need to know what these flaws in human nature are or else you'll never understand why you keep being fooled, taken advantage of, misled, and used. So you can either wonder "How could I let that person use me like that?" or you can make sure it won't happen again. ISECOM is putting on free seminars in the USA for 3 weeks only in October 2010. We are teaching people to protect themselves in a plain language and with powerful tools they can use to size up any situation for its truth. "Smarter, Safer, Better" is one of those seminars focused on helping regular people not be victims, sheep, or pawns. While these seminars are free to the attendees, we need sponsors and hosts to put on these seminars. Contact ISECOM on how you can host a seminar in your area. http://www.isecom.org/seminars Sincerely, -pete. |

Obama Care, Thomas Sowell Books
I am currently reading a book by Thomas Sowell called "Intellectuals and Society" which examines the influence of so called experts on public policy. On Obama Care I wrote a letter to the editor to complain, included below. Also I happened to get an email from a Ron Paul group about what Thomas Sowell said about Obama Care. Hopefully you will further comment.

Subject Obama Care Scary Stuff
Message I do not trust the medical system now. What makes me want to trust a system run by the government? It is too scary and how does the country pay for it when the debt is out of control. Why don't we kick start the economy by creating more jobs? The more people who work, the more taxes people pay. Stop giving away so much support to people who are not working. Start making everyone work who can at least try. I know some people have really bad health conditions, that is obvious. But more people can do something to be productive. Look at all the corruption, crime, poverty. That is a job to get cleaned up.
So make more jobs. Stop the Obama Care. MoveOnMary.org is a good place to start.

Alice in Health Care: Part II
Thomas Sowell
Wednesday, March 03, 2010
What is most like Alice in Wonderland is discussing medical care reform in the abstract, as if there are not already government-run medical care systems in this country and elsewhere.
Yet there seems to be remarkably little interest in examining how government-run medical care actually turns out-- medically and financially-- whether in Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration hospitals in this country, or in government-run medical systems in other countries.
We are repeatedly being told that we need to have a government-controlled medical care system, because other countries have it-- as if our policies on something as serious as medical care should be based on the principle of monkey see, monkey do.
By all means look at other countries, but not just to see what to imitate. See how it actually turns out. Yet there seems to be an amazing lack of interest in examining what government-controlled medical care produces.
While our so-called health care "summit" last week was going on, British newspapers were carrying exposes of terrible, and often deadly, conditions in British hospitals under that country's National Health Service. But this has not become part of our debate on what to expect from government-controlled medical care.
Such scandals are an old story under the National Health Service in Britain, one repeatedly producing fresh scandals that their newspapers carry, but ours ignore.
In addition to a whole series of National Health Service scandals in Britain over the years, the government-run medical system in Britain has far less high-tech medical equipment than there is in the United States. Neither in Britain, Canada, nor in other countries with government-run medical care systems can people get to see doctors, especially surgeons, in as short a time as in the United States.
It is not uncommon for patients in those countries to have to wait for months before getting operations that Americans get within weeks, or even days, after being diagnosed with a condition that requires surgery. You can always "bring down the cost of medical care" by having a lower level of quality or availability.
But, again, you may never learn any of this by following most of the American mainstream media. It is not that they don't make comparisons between medical care in different countries. But they tend to feature news that will promote government-controlled care.
One of the statistics they spin endlessly is that life expectancy in some countries with government-controlled medical care is higher than in the United States. What they don't tell you is that, in some of these countries, all the infants that die are not included in infant mortality statistics, as they are in the United States.
More important, both political and media supporters of government-controlled medical care consistently confuse medical care with health care.
Much, if not most, of health care depends on what individuals do in the way they live their own lives-- including eating habits, alcohol intake, exercise, narcotics and homicide. A study some years ago found that Mormons live a decade longer than other Americans. But nobody believes that Mormons' doctors are that much better than other doctors. When you don't do a lot of things that shorten your life, you live longer. That is not rocket science.
Americans tend to have higher rates of obesity, narcotics use and homicide than people in some other countries. And there is not much that doctors can do about that.
If those who make international comparisons were serious, instead of clever, they would compare the things that medical science can have a great effect on-- cancer survival rates, for example. Americans have some of the highest cancer survival rates in the world, and for some particular cancers, the highest.
When you can get to see a doctor faster, and get treatments underway without waiting for months, while the cancer grows and spreads, you have a better chance of surviving. That, too, is not rocket science. But it is also something that you are not likely to see featured in most of the media, where people are promoting their own pet notions and agendas, instead of giving you the facts on which you can make up your own mind.

Tea Party Lessons
At first I thought a Tea Party was about angry citizens. That perception kept me away from meetings. The only experience I previously had was at an outdoor event last year on April 15th at the Veterans Blvd and Causeway Intersection in Metairie, LA. The crowd was large and people vented their frustration about our US Government running away from its sworn Oath uphold the constitution.
Now after recently attending a few meetings I am more open to the message and the people are nice ordinary citizens looking to find a peaceful solution to our country's growing debt and other issues like corrupt Politicians greedily taking tax dollars for personal gain. If you read the newspaper, you literally get one a day, and you begin to think who is next or who do we trust. I say "We the People" need to trust our individual freedoms.
Visit me on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/nolalife to see my latest news from the recall of Mary L @ MoveOnMary.org and see a video of Ruben LeBlanc speaking at a Town Hall Meeting in Morgan City, Feb 27, 2010.
Join me at a local Tea Party Meeting to see for yourself. The US Constitution is only one of the many wonderful pursuits taking place now.
