Israeli Security Expert: U.S. Must Profile Passengers
 
As controversy swirls over the use of full-body scanners at U.S. airports, the former security director for Israel’s national airline says airline security in America is an “illusion” and the U.S. should profile passengers to ensure safety.Isaac Yeffet was security chief for El Al Israel Airlines, which requires every passenger to be interviewed by a well-trained agent before check-in. Agents then perform electronic body scans or searches only on those who arouse suspicions during the interview.

El Al is considered the most secure airline in the world, and has experienced only one hijacking in its history.

 Yeffet told CNSNews that American airlines should use “exactly the same system” as El Al.“Yes, profiling,” he said. “Every passenger has to be interviewed by security. We have to be polite. We know how to ask questions.” The U.S. Transportation Safety Administration “wants to tell me we now have security in this country — this is an illusion,” Yeffet said. "Technology in general can never replace a qualified and well-trained human being.”

The El Al approach is in sharp contrast to procedures in America, which call for body scanning every passenger, and patting them down if they opt out of the scan or if something suspicious shows up on the images.

Yeffet said it is unnecessary to search “innocent people,” and security should instead focus on determining if a passenger is suspicious by intensively interviewing them. “We at El Al have used the hand/body search for so many years, but we did it only to suspicious passengers that were interviewed by us.”

Opponents of adopting El Al’s security approach in the United States say it would violate passengers’ civil rights by allowing some to be more intensely scrutinized than others, CNSNews reported.But Yeffet says the pre-flight interviews have enabled El Al to identify “the right people that are trying to blow up an aircraft or commit suicide.”        -WND
 

 
I believe we have an historic opportunity to end this needless harassment at airports because of the groundswell of public opinion that is with us.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Americans this week the show would go on. She told us to endure the "inconvenience" and urged full compliance.

In other words, she doesn't get it. She has no clue as to the deep-seated resentment and anger Americans are feeling with regard to this program (w/ regard to our arrogant, overbearing government).

 Let's write her a postcard & inform her she is NOT the boss, we are.

"James Madison, the father of our Constitution, who 
explained in the Federalist Paper 45: 'The powers 
delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal
government are few and defined. Those which are to 
remain in the State governments are numerous and 
indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on 
external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and 
foreign commerce. ... The powers reserved to the 
several States will extend to all the objects which in 
the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives and
liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal
order, improvement and prosperity of the State.'"

Or this is the beginning a great reformation that will take America back for liberty. It's up to the people. We are so close. In 50 years in politics, I have never seen as large a percentage of the public self-motivated for reformation.

...if you tune-in here often enough, you know I would NEVER tell you how to vote. The only salient factor is vote. For whom is the least important. That said, do your homework & be very careful of where your vote goes. The Socialists MUST go, but don't just substitute one master for another; one clown for another. The freakin' Republicans have their own agenda - not the least of which is to control your personal life.


Think long & hard about whom you want to "lead" this nation - "lead" you!. Do you want more of the same? ...& the "same" is the crooks of various stripe that have been in office for the past 100+ years. 


My personal position is to throw all the crooks out. Let's start fresh. Oh, I can hear you saying "...but they are people we don't know, etc." & that is correct. Do not get into the mind-set of "...better the devil we know, than..." for that is exactly the thinking that has keep these dolts in power for all this time. You would be correct to say "we don't know" what these new people are capable of. You are right. See? What we do know is what the New Royals are capable of & that is what we don't want. THAT is what must end. You are right again.

". . . that said, I was finishing my run this morning & bumped into some friends & we got to talking politics - NOT my idea, mind you - & when you look anywhere & everywhere none of our policies make any god-damned sense what-so-ever. None. Zero. Nunca. Nada. None. So what is it that makes our policy makers so blind? Answer: money. That is it. The whole of it. Trying to make sense of the senseless is an exercise in futility. Until we stop - & I do mean stop x whatever means necessary - this hijacking of our country, our money, our rights, our everything so the few can get disgustingly rich(er) it will continue. To try to speak rationally on the subject is to miss the point. Anyone who looks for a moment will see it - the subject - as irrational. Why? It is because they've taken their collective eye off the prize. It is the money. And if that ugly boogie-man is never dragged from under the bed & into the light, the business of government shall continue as usual."

conversation w/ a friend on the beach...

  

"...in Publix (local grocery chain) the old folks line up in the morning for free coffee...they wait in line for the little free food samples...every day...". Did you understand that? Do you truly understand the implications of that little snippet of conversation?


Our people - our very own people - are going hungry...especially the elderly. That fool at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue gives away billions - his inane predecessor was equally guilty - to anyone & everyone, but our own people are in such dire straights. Social Security - upon which many, many elderly solely rely - is NOT getting a simple "cost of living" adjustment for the next two years! Do you understand that? The SS fund has been raped x the arrogant clowns - who, x the way, do not pay into it. They have their own little "fund" - in the building next door. Aaaggghhh!!! ...& don't be griping about the old-farts either. They did NOT have a say in weather they did or did not have to pay into it. It - Social Security - is NOT an entitlement. Get that. Don't let those crooks in Congress tell you differently. That money was taken from each & every one of us every week of our lives. That is NOT government largess - an oxymoron in any event. No. That is our own money, but to hear the bloated monster we call gov't "it is a gift." That - SS -was suppose to be "untouchable", but those arrogant, venial thives in DC have been stealing from it for decades & now they tell us, "we" have to do something or it's going to be broke x 2032 or pick-a-date x whomever you read. I have a suggestion about what to do: "...get a rope...".

Our country is so off track, so fucking lost, it is beyond comprehension...especially for us that have been around long enough to remember a better - much - time.

I've said time & time again that if MLK were the only one trying to change the tide against blacks, they'd still be in the back of the bus. What is needed now is a political Malcolm X; a political H. Rap Brown; a political SLA - tho we all know that extremism to the point of murder is unacceptable. What is needed is some radicalism just this side of it. Someone has got to step up to the plate or this monstrosity we call a government will - "...will..."!? Now that in an understatement of unrivaled proportions! - continue to run roughshod over us all until there is nothing left but roadkill.


I'm sick of it all. Are you? Had enough? VOTE (Nov. 2) - not for an incumbent; not for a Democrat; not for a Republican, but one who has your values - your country's lost values - at heart. Read. Learn. Think for yourself. Do your homework. You MUST, you simply must or we're all lost...it'll be science fiction at its worst...& we're almost there folks. We're almost there.

Read & remember that last line.

"...most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one’s self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker, but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all."

Opinion in Brief

Dr. Donald Berwick, the new Medicare czar

"Barack Obama's incredible 'recess appointment' of Dr. Donald Berwick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is probably the most significant domestic-policy personnel decision in a generation. It is more important to the direction of the country than Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court. The court's decisions are subject to the tempering influence of nine competing minds. Dr. Berwick would direct an agency that has a budget bigger than the Pentagon. Decisions by the CMS shape American medicine. Dr. Berwick's ideas on the design and purpose of the U.S. system of medicine aren't merely about 'change.' They would be revolutionary. One may agree with these views or not, but for the president to tell the American people they have to simply accept this through anything so flaccid as a recess appointment is beyond outrageous. It isn't acceptable. ... Let's look, then, at what President Obama won't let the American electorate hear Dr. Berwick say in front of a committee of Congress. These excerpts are from past speeches and articles by Dr. Berwick: 'I cannot believe that the individual health care consumer can enforce through choice the proper configurations of a system as massive and complex as health care. That is for leaders to do (emphasis mine; arrogance his). ... Please don't put your faith in market forces. It's a popular idea: that Adam Smith's invisible hand would do a better job of designing care than leaders with plans can. ...' That the Obama White House would try to push this past public scrutiny with a recess appointment says more about Barack Obama than it does Dr. Berwick. Vilifying Dr. Berwick alone for his views is in a way beside the point. Within Mr. Obama's circle they all think like this. Defeat Dr. Berwick, and they will send up 50 more who would pursue the same goals. If the American people want the world Dr. Berwick wishes to give them, that's their choice. But they must be given that choice with full, televised confirmation hearings. Barack Obama, Donald Berwick and the rest may fancy themselves philosopher kings who know what we need without the need to inform or persuade us first. That's not how it works here."

This cannot sit well w/ any of you, no matter how "left" you are.

The "why" of it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward%E2%80%93Piven_strategy

In a nutshell:

"... The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income."

Editorial Whine...

"...land of the free & home of the brave."


Land of the free? Huh? America has become the land of the rules - & the crooks in DC - along w/ your local elite - rule. There are rules in this country for every facet or your life. From the birth-canal to the hole in the ground...from your bed to your bed. Everything is regulated. Everything. No? Try driving w/o a seat-belt...try to change your HMO...try to talk to a human (in the US) for any "Help Line"...try to take all your money out of your bank (& why is it WalMart can clear your check in 3-5  seconds & it takes your bank 3-5 days? We all know the answer to that, but what does that tell you?) Everything is controlled - & here's a little something that we seem to overlook - nothing works. The "Controllers" have no idea what they are doing - nor do they care. They just want to have control. The "Fixers" screw up everything they touch in their headlong rush to "fix" everything & nothing gets "fixed".


All that being said, have you ever thought of (a) the mentality of people who want to be in control? (b) why do we allow someone - anyone - else tell us what we can & cannot do? "...home of the brave."?

Speaking of commodities markets...

...why is oil below $70 & we're paying close to $3.00 / gal.?
I for one, am tired of being bent-over.

If the US tried to get into the EEU...

...we'd be turned down! The Maastricht Treaty states that the National Debt must be NO MORE than 60% of that country's GDP. So les'see now, we're in debt to the tune of somewhere between $13 & 18T USD - depending on your source it can be as high as $21T!!!. So let's take the minimum $13T as our National Debt. The GDP for 2009 was $11.8T so let's round-up to $12T. 

With me so far?

Let's crunch the numbers: we are $1T in the red w/ THE most conservative of numbers...so we're about 8% shy of even parity. Our ratio (debt to output) is 1.08 GDP or 108% of our total domestic output. Greece was only 104% & see what happened to them?...& all you O'bama-ites continue to follow the pied-piper. 

The cliff looms...but please don't look up.

Aging populations have been promised huge health and retirement benefits, which countries haven't fully covered with taxes. The reckoning has arrived in Greece, but it awaits most wealthy societies." --columnist Robert J. Samuelson

...a flag-waver in the conventional sense, nor am I particularly pro-war (especially since the bureaucrats initiate it, then not allow our people to do what is necessary as they - the Fat-cats - get rich & our soldiers get dead), but watch this until the end.

Un-ambiguous "Idiot Speak"...

...from today's NYT:

"Payrolls surged with an unexpectedly strong 290,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department reported on Friday, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent. “This is unambiguously a strong report for growth implications,” James O’Sullivan, chief economist at MF Global, said. “It adds to the evidence that the pickup in growth is leading to a clear-cut pickup in employment. It is very clear there has been a bounce here, and momentum has been up.”

...& the "...hits keep on comin' ..."
What will tomorrow's spin (a.k.a. lie) be?

The "Grand Illusion"...

...
"Until now we've borrowed from Communist China and Japan to cover the big-spending bar tab of our power-drunk politicians. But now both China and Japan have growing economic problems of their own - and growing doubts about our ability to repay them with uninflated dollars.

Our ruling party and its media allies claim the economy and jobs are growing. They've poured nearly $1.5 trillion dollars of stimulus into the economy and are set to spend another Trillion before the November elections to create the grand illusion of a recovery.

So far this sky-high spending has created scarcely 2-3% growth and jobs largely in government, including tens of thousands of temporary jobs taking the Census.

The ruling party will pretend that printing trillions of dollars to cover our debt won't destroy the value of the dollar through inflation. A presidential commission days after the election will announce ideas for massive new taxes to suck more dollars out of your pockets."                -World Net Daily

Look, I am well aware that a segment of the population see this as an affront - & I am no fan of what this symbolizes to some - but when is this "Political Correctness" bullshit going to become tempered w/ some sanity?

just...

...got off the phone w/ a supposed intellegent friend of mine & he was waxing on about "...see? The gov't is on the job! They're taking the G-S thing very seriously..."
"Oh?" sez?
"Yes definitely" sez he.
"Well,' sez I, 'why is it then, this "grand suit" is civil & not criminal"?
"...aaah..." sez he.

Hey "out there": "They" are merely throwing the rabble a crumb. What don't you get? Goldman-Sachs thru Sec. of the Treasury Hank Paulson (G-S butt-boy) eliminated all their competitors & stole, as in: "...no transparency...no judicial review..." probably $350B+. I say "probably" because we'll never know...of YOUR money! What must I say to you that will make you finally understand the Gov't doesn't have a dime? It is YOUR money...YOUR MONEY!!! ...& what if a judgment comes in against them? Whose money will they use to pay it off? So what if they get fined $100M or $100B? Do the math fools! The arrogance. The hubris. The duplicity. The outright theft...& you continue to mill about wondering what's going on. Ever go to a slaughter-house?

Do any...

 
...of you fools out there have the remotest guess of what tomorrow is?
No? I thought not.

Will someone...

...please explain to me what the morons are saying as opposed what they are doing? It is getting closer to November, but do they think this kind of blather will have ANY effect on what we've seen this last year & half? "We the People..." do indeed have a short attention / retention span, but PLEASE...do "They" have that little respect for our intelligence? Rhetorical - as we all know that "They" have zero respect for us...their employers.

I just found out...

...that one of my best political allies does NOT vote!
What?
Are you kidding me?
Talk about ZERO credibility...
How many other "posers" are there out there?
I mean - are you firiggin' shittin' me???

One man; one vote; one four year license to gripe.

Well maybe, but not if you speak Inglish!!!

Employment #'s:

I've yet to check, but it's somewhere - according to "them" - 165,000 + new jobs created, but unemployment holds steady at 9.7%. How the hell is that? Think the numbers have been "massaged"?

***
(edit) I've found the newest data: 162,000 jobs & unemployment at 9.7% - & do take into consideration about 50,000 of those were census takers...but even then I don't know what country the stat-people are living in, but we folks here on the street are not convinced that the economy is on the rebound. Time will tell, but I do see a major "reckoning" coming due soon. Time for the Gov't to "put-up or shut-up." All this "feel good news" will NOT pay your bills.
***

The Gov't of these United States is a lying bunch of crooks that are bleeding you, me - all of us - dry. What is going to happen? It is patently obvious that there is very little chance of it - the Gov't - fixing itself. So again I ask you: what do you see happening?

it SEEMS...

...that I've de-hacked this site.
We'll see.

Question: who would give enough of a crap to hack this site?

ok, now I'm really pissed...

...first I get "hacked" & now this. If this doesn't wake you up this morning - roll over - you're dead. 

http://www.alternet.org/story/146183/obama_packs_debt_commission_with_social_security_looters
 
...& do note how "They" call Social Security "entitlements". Do you think the gov't is giving you this out of their largess? YOU PAID FOR THIS FOR YOURSELF EACH & EVERY PAYCHECK!!! You had NO say in the matter. If these creeps take your money this time we old-timers have got to do something!

ps...remember those assholes in Congress do NOT pay into Social Security.

 

I'VE BEEN HACKED!!!

 
If you've been here before you know what has happened here.

Why bother? This site isn't even worth most people's time, much less someone's effort!

Ya' gotta' love all this "crap", no?
 

This guy...

...has it exactly right.
Take the 4 min. & read it.
The only problem I can see w/ any of it is we're going to have to grow some "stones" to "...just say no."

EXCERPT: "I've been saying for years that politicians don't mind protests, movements, elections, petitions, demonstrations, or any other "political action," except when the legitimacy of their rule is questioned. In other words, as long as the "national discussion" consists of the masses asking their masters in "government" for freedom, the masters are in no trouble. When the masses stop asking, and start disobeying, that is when the politicians are doomed. And we are seeing more signs of that now. And as a result, the desperate American tyrants are trying to paint everyone who questions "government" as a terrorist--a tactic which is already back-firing."
---
"It is utterly impossible to control, by brute force alone, 300,000,000 people (especially when a third of them are armed). Only by convincing the masses that they should be controlled, and that they have an obligation to obey(!!!) "government," can tyrants succeed."

Guest:

"Idaho requires its attorney general to sue the feds if ObamaCare passes while Virginia, the cradle of liberty, heads the line of states in front of the federal courtroom. Somewhere Patrick Henry is smiling. As the second coming of King George III seeks to impose the leftist mandate of national health insurance on the unwilling American people, the states are once again in revolt.
...
Is this what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they risked being hanged by the British crown because they said we shouldn't be taxed without representation? Well, we have representation, and they care not about the people they represent.

Next up:

Amnesty & Social Security - mark my words.

Where is the line to be drawn?

ps...the upcoming inevitable hyper-inflation will make the Wiemar Republic look like a Club Med vacation.

How YOUR representative voted:

http://patriotpost.us/reference/health-care-votes/

Well...

...late last night we got - how do you say it in German...oh yes, fucked.

It now remains to be seen if the states will do as they threatened & tie this "thing" up in limbo for the foreseeable future or is it "game over"?

Oh, be aware that the next "thing" on the Socialists agenda is to give amnesty to 20 to 30 million illegals...how else do these fools in DC expect to be re-elected in November? Watch & learn.

It's Sunday 11:59 am...

...& today's the day.

It'll be interesting to see how the vote - or non-vote - on ObamaCare shakes out.

Stay tuned.

damn...

...I wish I'd written this:

I just got off the phone...

...w/ a friend of mine who told me a little story that has e/affected me considerably.

- A worker is now homeless as he had to make a choice of saving his house or paying his son's college tuition. He chose his son's education.
 
With all the money stolen from us (OUR money...never forget that) x the Goldman-Sach's & AIG's - w/ our government as intermediary - of the world, this man is having his house foreclosed because he simply can't afford both.

That is an outrage. This continued rape of this country cannot be allowed to stand. Someone, somewhere must finally say "no more".

I wish it were me.

Do any of you really comprehend what this means to each & every one of us? Do you really? The financial burden; the complete disregard of the Constitution - thru some bullshit political-hokum; the unmitigated hubris of the Speaker in particular & the entire Congress in general; the arrogance of the President...

Do you know what the "Slaughter Rule" is? ...reconciliation?
No?
Here you go:

Slaughter Rule: The Slaughter Rule -- named for House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) who proposed it -- would allow the Senate health bill to be incorporated into the Rule for the reconciliation bill coming out of the Senate. If members vote to pass this Rule they, in effect, pass the Senate health care bill without actually voting on it -- they instead vote on the reconciliation package.

Reconciliation Bill: a legislative process of the United States Senate intended to allow consideration of a contentious budget bill

(did you get that? "...budget bill..."; NOT a major policy bill. Again, did you get that: NOT a major policy bill.)

without the threat of filibuster. Introduced in 1974, reconciliation streamlines the debate and amendment process. Reconciliation also exists in the United States House of Representatives, but because the House regularly passes rules that constrain debate and amendment, the process has had a less significant impact on that body. (...it - reconciliation - is to bring the debt-limit into conformity with the budget resolution. That is all. That was why it was created in '74(?). That was it's purpose, but it is now being whored to allow those arrogant pricks in DC to do whatever they please & the Constitution be damned!)

If we don't "broom" the lot of 'em in November, we deserve what they are crammin' down our necks!

Will...

...someone please explain to me how this mentis-incompetentis has a job, much less one of such monumental import at this time in our history? Please...I need some help here!

"[W]e have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

...x popular demand - mine - I've returned.

We'll see. For now I'll just cruise along & if anything comes up of which you should be aware I'll get on it, but until then I'll just be messing around w/ the "Babe of the Day", jokes, film clips, etc. Hopefully that'll keep you entertained until something important surfaces.

i am humbled

The Senate has lost it's "Super Majority"!!!

I've been wrong about so much...& I couldn't be happier!

The electorate is NOT asleep.
All is NOT lost.
The future is NOT as doomed as had I thought.

A friend of mine told me this (Mass. Senate seat) election could be a seminal event in American politics. I thought differently. I thought wrong. I don't need to tell you the portent of this election's outcome. You know. You know.

Sooo, I've . . .



. . . see you when / if needed!

...continue to think the economy is turning around. Fools. You wonder why the "Royals" have no respect for you when it is so patently obvious that you can't even read & think for yourselves? 2+2 does actually equal 4!

Sorry I lied...

...but I just can't seem to get back into the "swing" of things. This about to be passed Health Care Thing has me undone. I simply cannot believe - even w/ the rampant hubris on Capitol Hill - that "We the People..." are simply dismissed...tho I shouldn't be all that surprised because it happened before in October of '08. Still, I am.
