Ms. Kitty Werthmann

What I am about to tell you is something you’ve probably never heard or read in history books.

I am an eyewitness to history. I can tell you that Hitler did not take Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote. I’ve never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.

In 1938, Austria was in deep Depression. Nearly one-third of our workforce was unemployed. We had 25% inflation and 25% bank loan interest rates. Farmers and business people were declaring bankruptcy daily. Young people were going from house to house begging for food. Not that they didn’t want to work; there simply weren’t any jobs. My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need. Every day we cooked a big kettle of soup and baked bread to feed those poor, hungry people – about thirty daily.

Well, the other day I was driving by the post office in Tomball. I noticed a sign on the front door of McCaul’s CD 10 Tomball Office door…

I wonder what that is about?? Hmmmmm ….

[From TimesWatch.org]

Long-time welfare-beat reporter Jason DeParle took yet another victory lap in his Thursday story on how food stamps are losing their stigma in a piece co-written with Robert Gebeloff: “Once Stigmatized, Food Stamps Find Acceptance.”

These same two reporters wrote a national version of the same story with virtually the same headline less than three months ago, which appeared on the front page November 29, 2009: “Food Stamp Use Soars Across U.S., and Stigma Fades.” Both stories are apart of the paper’s occasional series “The Safety Net.”

The triumphal headline and DeParle’s accompanying attitude of barely concealed vindication is no surprise, given his long-time opposition to welfare reform, noted most bluntly in a sour and alarmist piece he penned as a Times reporter, opposing the passage of Clinton-era welfare reform in the July 28, 1996 Times Week in Review: “Get a Job — The New Contract With America’s Poor.” DeParle warned in that 1996 piece:

The risk is that it may also end poverty as we know it. By making it even worse….But the weight of the evidence suggests that most either cannot or will not lift themselves from poverty in an economy where, for more than two decades, the bottom has been dropping out for low-skilled workers. In a nation that already has the highest child poverty rates in the industrialized world the poor may indeed get poorer. And more numerous and desperate as well…If he signs the measure as it is, President Clinton will appear to have fulfilled his famous pledge about ending welfare. In truth, he will have abandoned the vision that animated the slogan. Having sought office with the aim of a redefined social contract — health care for every American — he will be seeking re-election with a bill that begrudges poor infants their Pampers….No doubt the harsh reality of an empty stomach will cause some people to do better. Some may indeed get jobs and marry, as [Fla. Rep. Clay] Shaw predicts. Others may turn to prostitution or the drug trade. Or cling to abusive boyfriends. Or have more abortions. Or abandon their children. Or camp out on the streets and beg.

Ooops!! Looks like someone forgot to scrub something!!  “Home” goes to a home page for a Kenyan newspaper archive for 2004. Updating the format for the web address to “http://www.eastandard.net/” takes you to the current day’s edition of this newspaper.

It’s relatively easy to fake an old internet news article but not an entirely new set of current-dated articles.  Especially since most of Eastern and Southern Africa was taken over by British, Danish and Norwegians who like to spell our “z” words with an “s”, for example, ‘organisation’ versus ‘organization.’

An acquaintance of mine sent it to a morning radio show my acquaintance listens to and they talked about it.  They said that if the powers that be were ever to respond, it would be only to say that “well, these african papers are not known for their accuracy and fact checking.”  Yeah, right.  Unlike CNN, who only fact checks SNL when they FINALLY make a lame attempt at satirizing Obama…

It just shows that “they” can’t even do something underhanded like try to scrub the internet efficiently. Lets’ put THEM in charge of every aspect of our lives, huh?

The award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.

The pretext for the prize was Mr Obama’s decision to “strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples”. Many people will point out that, while the President has indeed promised to “reset” relations with Russia and offer a fresh start to relations with the Muslim world, there is little so far to show for his fine words.

East-West relations are little better than they were six months ago, and any change is probably due largely to the global economic downturn; and America’s vaunted determination to re-engage with the Muslim world has failed to make any concrete progress towards ending the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Dinner at the White House…. a parable

Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a free country. There’s nothing that the government can do to me if I’ve broken no laws. My wealth was earned honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor.

I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room. We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner.

The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate, and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen.

Summary of this week’s report:

Obama’s speech to America’s school children was far less innocuous than it appeared. It was an attempt to capture the hearts and minds of our kids, and to have them ask themselves how they “can help the President”. Conservatives were right to oppose it. We need to speak out against Obama’s plans to indoctrinate vulnerable young minds.

The full report:

On September 8th, Barack Obama delivered a speech to 1500 students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, which was also broadcast to almost every public school in the nation (as well as many private schools). Obama’s plan was to have every student in American schools watch the speech. He and his liberal apologists in the media billed it as simply a motivational speech along the lines of “work hard, stay in school, and you can achieve your dreams.” That certainly sounds good; who could possibly be against something like that? (Even many Christian schools fell for this line.)

I thoroughly disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

–Voltaire

I want a hundred ideas to germinate in my country, and a hundred buds to sprout.

–Mao Tse-Tung

Freedom of speech, if it is to be real, must be extended to all and not be the prerogative or special gift of anyone. That is the crux of the problem.  It is not a question of defending the ideas maintained by the newspaper The Daily Fleet. It is a question of defending The Daily Fleet’s right to express its ideas, and the right of thousands of American citizens to read what they think is worth reading.  Hard battles have been fought in America on behalf of that freedom of expression and freedom of choice.  And it has been said that if one began by persecuting a newspaper for maintaining an idea, he would end up persecuting all ideas.  And it has been said that there was a desire for a regime in which there would be room for the newspaper Today, of the Communists, and The Daily Fleet, of the conservative leanings.  Despite that, The Daily Fleet has disappeared as a vehicle of thought. And the newspaper Today remains freer and more firmly established than ever.  Evidently the regime has lost its determination to maintain balance.

How to wreck a really good country in 40 easy steps
By:  HALC.us staff
[Editorial by HALC.us staff member, which in no way represents the opinions of the entire staff, just the author.]

1. Control their water (ever gone more than a day without drinking water??);
2. Control their food (ya gotta eat sometime, right??);
3. Tell them what kind of structures they can or cannot put on their land.  If you let them do something to their own land, make them pay you some money for permission of what they want to do with it.  If you don’t like them or their plan, keep their money but don’t give them the permit;
4. Make them rent their land that may have been paid off and in the family for 100 yrs.  Do this every year, in ever-increasing rates and dollar values;                                                                                                                                                                 Read the rest of this entry »
