U.S. Musicians Concerned Their Music Used as Torture Device

I don't think a few of these musicians and rap artists who are inquiring as to torture in the use of their music at Guantanamo care about it being torture to many Americans' ears. In order to go out into public one must endure their musical garbage forced on the population each day. For many such as myself the music is pure torture, and I'm not kidding!

It's a good thing musicians care about their music being used to torture Guantanamo detainees. While their at it caring so much, they should also be aware many people such as myself have to literally run out of stores with their hands over their ears, or purchase ear plugs for public places due to the horrendous sounds they produce that are unfit for human consumption.

"From the National Security Archive. Washington, DC, October 22, 2009 - On behalf of a coalition of U.S. and international musicians, including R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Tom Morello and Jackson Brown, the National Security Archive today filed a series of FOIA petitions requesting the full declassification of secret U.S. documentation on the strategy of using music as an interrogation device at Guantanamo and other detention centers. The Archive also posted several declassified documents and published reports that refer to the use of "loud" music to "create futility" in uncooperative detainees at Guantanamo.

A 2004 Defense Department report on abuses at the military base in Cuba, for example, stated that the "futility technique included the playing of Metallica, Britney Spears and Rap music." Archive analysts filed the FOIA requests with the CIA, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the FBI, among other agencies, requesting all documentation pertaining to how the music was chosen and the specific role it played in interrogations of detainees at the Guantanamo base. "At Guantanamo, the U.S. government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture," said Thomas Blanton, the Archive's executive director. "The musicians and the public have the right to know how an expression of popular culture was transformed into an enhanced interrogation technique".

Nutjob Cyber #2 Harasses Law Firm of Parker Stanbury LLP

Last night I got a frantic phone call from attorney Ric Mercardo at the law firm of Parker Stanbury LLP. Mercado said the guy who he had only drafted a cease and desist letter to back in July has been repeatedly calling him. Cyber is apparently calling to complain about my allegedly posting stuff about him! Funny, I don't recall writing about Cyber #2 in a long time and certainly not by name. Cyber got the attorney's name from an exhibit I provided to the court.

Maybe it was the LAWSUIT I filed against the Cyber on October 16, 2009 for intentional infliction of emotional distress and defamation that made the Cyber somehow think it was a post on my blog? On Sunday when Cyber shut the door in the server's face and wouldn't accept the lawsuit, was that my posting about him? I'm not aware of any article I've written about the nutjob in a long time, and certainly not ascribing to his name. It apparently exists all inside his head and that's a scary, scary thing.



Cyber #2 is so delusional and out of his mind, he doesn't heed when the attorney tells him "I'm not representing her." According to Mercado, he's been contacted three times now. Instead of calling attorneys to harass them, maybe Cyber #2 should get a grip on reality and get his own attorney? He'll certainly need one considering I've collected most of my discovery already that will prove to a jury he's guilty as hell. While he's at it Cyber #2 should get medicated by a psychiatrist because he's clearly imagining my posting stuff about him.

Obama Ready to Cede US Sovreignty to World Government

In December, 2009 Obama's set to cede US sovereignty by signing a climate treaty in which 1. a world government is going to be created, 2. to transfer wealth from countries of west to third world countries in satisfaction of a climate debt, 3. purposes of enforcement will be carried out. The treaty will overrule the US Constitution's powers forever.

It's interesting to note what Obama's reading which says a lot about where his head is at. He's reading Fareed Zakaria's, The Post-American World. Now we know why Obama had problems with saluting the American flag and wearing a flag pin. (I see there's some kind of pin on him in this photo though, can't really see what it is.

Americans have been fooled by Obama and face a grim future of world government rule in which tyranny will take hold of the world. Americans are asleep at the wheel too busy watching their sports or doing video games to realize America's about to end.

This video by a global climate expert Lord Christopher Monckton is intriguing and worth watching. Meanwhile latest news on the dollar being dropped by countries should be enough to send alarms across the sleeping nation to wake them the hell up. Alarm bells should be going off everywhere in this country right now!

What Happens When Someone Commits Perjury Against Me?

The penalty under perjury clause which allegedly causes people to tell the truth has proven to be a farce time and time again in our court system. Most people know by now, unless it's a high profile important case, a lower court won't bother to question perjury testimony. This means it's up to the accused (and their attorney if they have one) to eventually bring the truth out. It may be too late at one point of a particular battle, but the fact there was damaging deception and a series of lies can ultimately be brought out by other means.

I'm quite relieved that I now have the legal tools and skills available to me to rat out those who commit egregious perjury against me. I have the legal skills of filing lawsuits, conducting depositions and using subpoenas, even those records I seek from out of state! For instance, I was able to get AT&T's records of their customer's Internet account that also proved they were dishonest during a deposition. I gave AT&T the time and IP address and voila! They faxed over their customer's name and address within 30 days of my subpoena request.

I don't need an attorney to make things happen. The average person on the other end as a defendant will have to invest thousands of dollars in an attorney. So you want to quash that subpoena because you're a little embarrassed of your on-line behavior? You'll have to pay an attorney to try to negotiate who may ultimately have to file a motion to quash the subpoena. It will cost you $2,000 to quash a subpoena at the very least.

Anyone who thinks they can walk into a court room and fool the judge with perjury against me will be sorry because I won't hesitate to drag them through muddy legal waters. I will subpoena records, I will conduct depositions of themselves and non-party witnesses, I will do whatever I need to do to rat out the liars and bring them to justice.

So I guess the moral of the story is, if you really want to accelerate the problems in your life, go into court and lie about me. If you want to pay out $15,000 in attorney's fees in a matter of a few months, just keep up the perjury and lies because I can make it happen for you. Imagine the wonderful cruise you could have taken for $15 K the attorney will take on your behalf!

A Little Secret About Health Care in America

For those who haven't figured it out yet, if you don't have health insurance it's a good thing. It means many good hospitals will give you free care and write it off. If you're self-employed, unemployed or have no insurance, good hospitals will treat you for emergencies and serious injuries, ask for a little money you can pay, and write off the rest.

I've heard a few stories about free hospital care for serious burns requiring a two week hospital stay for just $5,000. Another story was recently brought to my attention of a man who needed heart surgery who had no insurance. He got free care from Stanford's hospital.

If you have health insurance and a job you'll end up paying more in monthly fees and for deductions for long hospital care. Not a good thing. Check it out, there's free health care in America already. The middle class needs to get a grip on reality.

Revisiting My 2008 Hives

I had an extreme case of hives last year I'll never forget. This condition I hadn't experienced since I was 13 was brought on by stress. I actually had a 6 month old frozen corn chicken dog prior to the outbreak but seriously doubt that caused it.

At one point I thought my body was on fire and I wasn't going to survive. I actually considered checking into the burn ward of a local hospital. Here are the gross photos of my poor body being engulfed in virtual flames. The condition lasted a few days.

Click to enlarge photos. I don't know where the bruise came from either.

Carly Simon Sues Starbucks Over Clouds In Her Coffee

I'm feeling bad for 70's/80's singer Carly Simon because she's apparently in la la land about her marketability in today's music market. Carly apparently expected Starbucks to promote her CD This Kind of Love like they're her record label. Apparently because Starbucks the coffee company didn't treat Carly like the 70's and 80's hit songwriter she's accustomed to, she sued them.

If I were Carly, here's what I would have done. I would have promoted the concept of her hit "You're So Vain" with her memorable lyric "clouds in my coffee" to promote Starbucks and the various narcissism organizations. Narcissism is on the rise in America in epidemic proportions. Books are being published, blogs are being created on the topic. Carly could have fit in with promoting a good cause along with Starbucks coffee to promote awareness of the narcissism epidemic.

Apparently Carly couldn't think of the N idea because she's still apparently narcissistic herself to think she's marketable and competitive in today's music market. Her music is outdated and her voice is shot. She apparently didn't work as hard and tour enough in her career to connect with a large enough fan base.

I don't mean to sound too harsh on Carly Simon, but her glory days are over and she should get over herself now. I mean, c'mon, Carly Simon was never that great of a singer to begin with, especially according to today's standards. It was a combination of her talent, beauty, songwriting and social connections that made her successful in the 70's and 80's.

Today, Carly would do herself a tremendous honor by getting upcoming singers to perform her material while removing herself from the spotlight. Carly looks like a tragedy about to happen.

Lowest Approval Rating for California Governor in 50 Years

In a true sign of trouble brewing in California, Governor Schwarzenegger's recent approval ratings were polled at a 50 year low - 27% only taking a backseat to Gray Davis' 22% in 2003. The California legislature got even lower ratings at 13%. These are dismal numbers that reflect voter's frustrations over the mismanagement of California's economy.

There's a good chance Governor Schwarzenegger could become the first governor in US history whose state went bankrupt. Way to go Arnie!

One can observe in the type of laws the Governor signed yesterday as to why California's in trouble:

* Make it a crime, punishable by a fine of up to $50,000, for a person to take and sell unauthorized photos of celebrities and others or their children in "personal or familial activity." AB 524, Assemblywoman Karen Bass (D-Los Angeles.)

* Prohibit elective cosmetic surgery unless the patient first is cleared by a physical examination. AB 1116, Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter (D-Rialto).

* Proclaim gay rights activist Harvey Milk's May 22 birthday as a day of recognition and encourage schools to consider commemorating his life. SB 54, Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco).

* Create a pilot program in four counties, including Los Angeles, that will permit first-time DUI offenders to drive only if they pass a test on a breath-testing device installed on every vehicle they own. AB 91, Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles).

So these are the kind of laws the legislature's coming up with at this dire time? Harvey Milk day? Cosmetic surgery issues? Celebrity photos?

Overtly Political People Are a Sign of Low Intelligence

I'm not claiming to be a worldly smart person but do think I have some intuition about a few things. The first is that our culture has become over politicized and therefore apt to delusional thinking. For instance, people are searching for political supporters when they're not even running for office! A political mind over politicizes everything to its favor. Politics should really be called reality warping.

Perverts of reality are going to distort whatever facts are thrown at them as if they're in the middle of a campaign for reelection. Like geez, you were evicted 5 times in 5 years, failed to pay rent an entire year and you're calling the police on someone whose working long hours at a law firm? You're visiting with the neighbors trying to gang up on this hard working person, someone who had landlord references who had never been late on rent in her life never mind having never been evicted before? You don't think you pose a problem to your roommates as if you're some queen whom no one should question for turning up the heat on an 80+ degree day?

Or, geez, you're an admitted gun owner who posted a veiled death threat to shoot me dead? You think the post is perfectly okay and appreciate the police visits so you can warp the spoon with your mental powers so to speak, to pervert reality even more. You think police are on your side now and that they've been corrected to see how you're really a victim of the person who called them. You poor, pathetic man. Just can't handle reality, can you?

Perverters of truth try to manipulate others' perceptions to get what they want. They're called politicians and criminals. This is what criminals do best. They think they're clever and have the world on a string as their puppet because they can make anyone believe what they want. Many of these type of political people developed this skill to avoid having to do real work.

What of the US Dollar?

I don't really know what I'd do if the US dollar died. I have some kind of barter plan happening (I can trade 5 pine nuts for one almond) but obviously there's only so much one can do when the monetary system changes. People wouldn't be able to conduct business as usual if the US dollar goes bust.

For instance, if California goes bankrupt, will there be a functioning state government? What will it all really mean? How will it affect Californians to live in a bankrupted state? Would it mean the local courts would shut down? Would the prisons close and let go of prisoners? Would it mean Mexicans would cross the border and take over cities? Would it mean food would be cut off? Would it mean PG&E would shut down and AT&T wouldn't be available? If the dollar collapses; if California collapses, what will this all really mean?

I know the quality of American men is really low these days. I can't imagine the average American male doing much about Mexicans taking over our cities. I don't think the U.S. stands much of a chance, especially when so many people from other countries are here already who could care less about maintaining the status quo.
