10 Signs You May Be in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship

According to this article here are 10 signs you may be in an emotionally abusive relationship.

Obama signs defense bill but balks at terrorism provisions

In this article Emperor Obama signed a bill which gives slightly more then a half trillion dollars for the military. Emperor Obama is a war monger just like Emperor Bush was.

From what I have read the law Emperor Obama signed is also like the Patriot Act and allows civilians to be detained by the military without trials.

Body guards for members of Congress???

According to this article the cops in Washington D.C. are urging members of the House and Senate to increase their security. Does this mean that the folks who claim to be our "public servants" will soon have body guards to protect them from the people they claim to serve???

OK, they are our masters, not our servants. And anytime you own slaves you need body guards to prevent the slaves from revolting.

Ain't it great to live in America????

Arpaio support requests not slowed down by allegations

Sadly many Americans love the police state!

According to this article America's worst Sheriff still gets lots of support despite being accused in the media of being thug who violates the rights of Mexicans.

El Mirage cop fired

According to this article an El Mirage police officer Brent Riojas was fired. But the cops are refusing to tell us why the Brent Riojas was fired.

If the cops claim to be public servants who work for us, why are they refusing to tell us why this alleged public servant was fired.

California flushes the 2nd Amendment down the toilet

According to this article California has pretty much flushed the 2nd Amendment down the toilet and it is now illegal to openly carry guns in the police state of California.

And when only the police or government agents are allowed to carry guns, you certainly do have a police state.

Jan Brewer flip flops on the 10th Amendment

According to this article Arizona's racist governor Jan Brewer says the 10th Amendment allows Arizona to run all the Mexicans out of Arizona with our racist SB 1070 law. Sadly she is probably right on that issue.

On the other hand police state drug warrior Jan Brewer flip flops on the issue and says the 10th Amendment is null and void and doesn't allow the people of Arizona to legalize medical marijuana.

Does this mean Jan Brewer is a racist government tyrant???

How do you spell stun gun fun? Taser!!!!

Here is an article about the use of Tasers by Chicago area cops.

Tobacco is the most dangerous drug on the planet??

Here is an article on tobacco and smoking which is hand down the deadliest drug on the planet. Of course if the government declared "war" on tobacco like they have on other drugs that would only make the problem worse, just like the "war on drugs" cause far more harm then the use of the drugs that government has declared war on.

Who lies more? Republicans or Democrats??

 
In the Washington Post, the politicians that lie most get 4 pinocchios

  Here is an article about the Washington Post's fact checking column where they hand out Pinocchios for the politicians that lie most.

DEA thugs set quotas for the amount of drugs made in America

According to this article the cold hearted sadists at the DEA or Drug Enforcement Administration set quotas on the amount of drugs that are allowed to be manufactured each year in America.

Sadly these quotas set by the DEA are not intended to help people that need the drugs, but rather to prevent people from abusing the drugs. Even if it means that the drugs will be in short supply and very expensive for the people that need them.

When we have politicians and cops doing the job that doctors should be doing they are bound to screw up America.

If you love living in a police state, you probably love the thugs at the DEA.

Homeless folks being murdered in Orange County

According to this article a bunch of homeless folks are being murdered in Orange County. Orange County is part of the Los Angeles metro area. The murders are happening in Anaheim, Brea and Placentia. All three of those cities are next to Fullerton.

In Fullerton the police brutally beat to death a homeless man named Kelly Thomas So I really think the cops could care less about the murders.

GOP plan: Use Obama’s own words against him

Probably a better title for this article would be something like:
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
Sure Emperor Obama is fantastic when it comes to slinging the BS. Even though the Republican candidates can't sling the BS as well as Obama, they certainly tell as many lies as Emperor Obama does.

If you want any meaningful change your only hope is to vote Libertarian. Of course in this elections there is one exception to that, which is Ron Paul. If Mr. Paul gets on the Republican ticket I will certainly vote for him.

Blocking Iran's oil sales is an act of war

If the American Empire blocks Iran's oil sales I would consider that an act of war and Iran has every right to respond with military action to stop the agression.

If this article Iran seems to be getting ready for military action to respond to a possible blocking of it's oil by America.

Here is some info on the gem and mineral show that is held every year at Mesa Community College.

Tucson Gem & Mineral Show

Here is some info on the Tucson Gem and Mineral show that is held every year on the 2nd Weekend in February in Tucson, Arizona.

Video tape a crooked cop and you go to jail, not the cop

According to this article if you video tape a crooked cop, you are the one that will go to jail. Not the crooked cop.

If you love living in a police state more to America!!!

More on the evil "war on drugs"

Here are a few articles on Americas evil, unconstitutional and unwinnable "war on drugs".

Arizona voter registration is rigged against the Libertarian and Green Parties

In this article we find out that in Arizona voter registration forms are rigged against the Libertarian and Green Parties.

In Arizona four political parties have ballot status, they are the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Greens.

But they tyrants in the Arizona legislator only list the Republican and Democratic parties on the voter registration forms which are paid for with taxpayer money.

The Libertarian Party is the only political party in America that demands that ALL drugs be re-legalized.

While the Green Parties national platform doesn't address the issue the Arizona Green party does support legalizing marijuana.

Llena Sjööblom test image

Lena Söderberg appeared as a Playmate in the November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine, under the name Lenna Sjööblom. Lenna is the spelling in Playboy, Lena is the Swedish spelling of the name.

But this story isn't about dirty photos or hot woman in Playboy, it's about computer geeks and the history of digital photos.

Lenna or Lena is the name given to a 512 x 512 pixel standard test image originally cropped from the centerfold of November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine. The image is probably the most widely used test image for all sorts of image processing algorithms (such as compression and denoising) and related scientific publications.

Alexander Sawchuk estimates that it was in June or July of 1973 when he, then an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute (SIPI), along with a graduate student and the SIPI lab manager, was hurriedly searching the lab for a good image to scan for a colleague's conference paper. They got tired of their stock of usual test images, dull stuff dating back to television standards work in the early 1960s. They wanted something glossy to ensure good output dynamic range, and they wanted a human face. Just then, somebody happened to walk in with a recent issue of Playboy.

The engineers tore away the top third of the centerfold so they could wrap it around the drum of their Muirhead wirephoto scanner, which they had outfitted with analog-to-digital converters (one each for the red, green, and blue channels) and a Hewlett Packard 2100 minicomputer. The Muirhead had a fixed resolution of 100 lines per inch and the engineers wanted a 512 × 512 image, so they limited the scan to the top 5.12 inches of the picture, effectively cropping it at the subject's shoulders.

This scan, nonetheless, became one of the most used images in computer history, so much that the mysterious Lenna came to be dubbed the "First Lady of the Internet".

Lenna is so widely accepted in the image processing community that Söderberg was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology in 1997.

When the IS&T wanted to invite Söderberg to their meeting, Playboy helped track down the Swedish native in Stockholm, where she helps handicapped people work on computers. Although Playboy is notorious for cracking down on illegal uses of its images, it has decided to overlook the widespread distribution of this particular centerfold.

Says Eileen Kent, VP of new media at Playboy: "We decided we should exploit this, because it is a phenomenon."

Coincidentally, Playboy states the issue was its best-selling issue ever, having sold 7,161,561 copies as of May 2006.

Witness describes Chicago pit bull attack

Witness describes Chicago pit bull attack

Associated Press | Posted: Monday, January 2, 2012

A 62-year-old Chicago man was critically injured Monday when two 70-pound pit bull terriers mauled him while he was jogging along Lake Michigan, police said.

Police officers found the dogs a short distance away from the site of the attack and fatally shot the animals as they attempted to attack them, department spokesman Officer Robert Perez said. Neither officer was injured, he said.

Perez said the attack happened on a path in Rainbow Beach Park on the city's far South Side at about 6 a.m. He said the dogs, one chocolate brown and other white with spots, bit the man over his entire body, including his legs, arms and face.

One area resident said she and her husband ran outside, as another resident called 911 to help the man after hearing and seeing the attack from their window.

"He was yelling, `Somebody help me, please help me,'" said Debra Plummer. When Plummer's husband, Stanley Lee, ran to the scene and started beating the dogs with a large stick, the dogs would not let go of the man.

"One had the man by his arm and the other had him by his leg and they just had a lock on him (and) they wouldn't let him go," she said. "I couldn't believe what I was looking at."

Ultimately, she said, police pulled their guns and shot the dogs multiple times.

"They had to open fire," she said.

She said one indication of how powerful the dogs were was what happened after they were shot: One ran across a path before it fell and another ran in circles for what seemed like minutes before it, too, finally fell to the ground.

The man was rushed to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where a hospital spokeswoman said late Monday morning he remained in critical condition. Police have not released his name.

Perez said officers had not identified the owner or owners of the animals, saying that while the dogs both had collars, neither had tags. He said animal control officers were dispatched to the scene to take the carcasses away.

The dogs were large, heavily muscled male pit bulls. Neither had identification microchips embedded in them and neither had been neutered, according to Cherie Travis, executive director of the city's department of animal care and control. She said the dogs wore identical collars, suggesting they could be owned by the same person.

She said her employees were scouring records to see if there have been any complaints about dogs or reports of any strays in the area.

Perez said officers were canvassing the area in the search of the owners. And Travis said her office was assisting with the search. She said that the owner or owners may face criminal charges, explaining that while the fine for not keeping a dog in a fenced in area or allowing it to run outside without a leash is $300, the owner of an animal that causes serious injury to a person can be fined as much as $10,000 and locked up for as long as six months.

Travis also said part of her office's investigation will be to determine how the dogs were cared for, explaining that dogs do not typically attack people, and when they do it is often after they have been mistreated.

"Dogs don't just attack," she said.

Pretending to cut military spending

In this article we hear the military is going to cut spending by 8 percent over 10 years.

Big stinking deal!!!! On a yearly basis that isn't even a one percent cut in spending. It's a lousy .8 percent cut in spending each year.

You also have to remember the American Empire spends more on it's military then all the other countries of the world spend on their military combined.

Bundgaard case: Ethics inquiry will go forward

According to this article the Thursday Senate Ethics Committee hearing into Sen. Scott Bundgaard beating of his girl friend will go forward.

Historically the courts have pretty much ruled that the courts can't tell the House or Senate how to operated, so from day one I suspect this case would be thrown out.

Tax and spend socialist Kyrsten Sinema for Congress

According to this article tax and spend socialist Kyrsten Sinema is running for Congress.

From a Libertarian stand point tax and spend socialist Kyrsten Sinema is probably the most dangerous politicians in the state of Arizona. At least from the point of stealing your money and creating a socialist police state. She claims to support the "people", but she knows the cops can help here get elected so she supports the police state.

A while ago Kyrsten Sinema tried to put a 300 percent tax on medical marijuana, which means a $50 bag of weed would cost $200 after her 300 percent tax.

Kyrsten Sinema is also an atheist, but she doesn't have the good morals most atheists have. Kyrsten Sinema is a thief who will tax anything that moves

Ron Paul loses in Iowa

According to this article Ron Paul came in third place in the Iowa Presidential primary elections.

While tax and spend socialist Kyrsten Sinema is the worst elected official in Arizona, Ron Paul is exactly the opposite and is certainly the best Congressman in the USA.

Ditch school go to jail???

According to this article kids who play hookey in Kentucky could be arrested and placed in jail. Same for their parents.

Of course it has nothing to do with educating the children. If the school district can keep kids from cutting school they could receive an extra half million bucks from the state of Kentucky.

Friday, December 16, 2:27 - Falsely Arrested - Again

Today I was falsely arrested by a rentacop at the Tempe bus station. Here are the nitty gritty details about that false arrest by Tempe Transit Center RentACop Broyles

I was only arrested for 60 seconds, but that is enough for me to file a lawsuit against the city of Tempe, Valley Metro, the company that rents Tempe the rentacop, and the cop who arrested me, along with the bus driver who ordered me to be arrested.

I got on one of those free buses and the lady driver told the cop to remove me from the bus.

The cop who removed me from the bus told me I could not ride on the bus because I had a deadly weapon, and lied and said that deadly weapons were prohibited on Valley Metro buses.

The piggie claims a baseball bat I had was a deadly weapon.

When I told the piggie that Valley Metro doesn't prohibit weapons on it's buses he changed his story and said that drivers could refuse to let anybody ride on their buses for any reason.

Oddly I was arrested when the drivers were changing shifts.

The new bus driver said he didn't care if I rode on his bus and let me back on the bus.

Of course that means the piggy was lying about the deadly weapons stuff. And it should look interesting in court.

Here is a copy of the lawsuit I am planing to file against the City of Tempe, Valley Metro, the bus driver, the security guard and the firm that employes the security guard.

Here are some photos and notes I took about the incident:

Bus Rights under Title VI

The city of Tempe, under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes, must ensure that no person in the city of Tempe shall, on grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, disability and age, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any federally funded program or activity it administers.

Customer Rights and Grievances

Passengers using federally funded public transit should have equal access, seating and treatment. Complaints for non-compliance with Title VI and related statutes may be lodged with Valley Metro customer service at 602-253-5000 (TTY 602-261-8208).

Complaints that customer service receives are documented and assigned to the appropriate transit staff for investigation in accordance with federal standards. After processing the complaint, customer service will respond to the complaint and, if warranted by the investigation, take appropriate action. The city of Phoenix Public Transit Department is responsible for monitoring this process and completed reports.

I'm being followed around

I suspect the government is having civilians follow me around. That way if they arrest me they I can't complain that I was illegally searched violating my 4th Amendment right, or that I was forced to answer questions violating my 5th Amendment rights.

The courts have routinely ruled that when the police get civilians to violated a persons constitutional rights that some how it is OK, because the cops didn't actually do the violation. Even though the cops asked the civilians to violate the persons constitutional rights.

It's pretty much like they are doing in the current "war on terror".

The FBI arrests some Arab or Muslim guy they think is a criminal. But they don't have a shred of evidence to convict the guy with.

So they fly the guy to Egypt, Syria or some other third world country where they have the local cops beat the sh*t out of the guy and get him to confess to whatever the FBI has accused him of.

Then of course after they have coerced a confession out of the guy, they fly him back to the USA and put him on trial.

Then in the USA the courts up hold the confession the FBI got out of the guy by having some pigs in a 3rd world country beat him up.

If the guy claims the confession was illegally coerced the FBI says, we didn't force the guy to confess, it was the Egyptian Secret Police who questioned him and got the confession.

We are just using that confession in good faith.

And sadly the courts allow the insanity to happen.

On Sunday I will become homeless again. I guess that is a good way to ditch these folks the government is having follow me around.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords stepping down

According to this article Gabrielle Giffords is finally quitting Congress. make this a series like the sheriff joe articles ron paul atricles the_police.html ron_paul.html the_police.html#video_tape_a_crooked_cop aaamedicalmarijuananews.html Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder i went to the city of phoenix council members web pages and noticed that almost all of them have a web page that allows you to request to be added to that city council members junk email list. i made a request for public records to the city of phoenix asking for all these email addresses and i suspect I will be turned down because the council members don't want to share information with people about how they get reelected but ..... taxpayer dollars are used to send out all those junk emails and taxpayers dollars are used to pay for the web pages that solicit those email addresses so I think the email addresses ARE public records this is just a reminded to sue the creeps at the city of phoenix if they don't give me the data requested ernie why are you reading this????

Check out Chandler Blvd in Ahwatukee

I went on a job interview on 48th Street, half way between Ray Road and Chandler Blvd in Ahwatukee.

It was a pretty interesting area.

I should check out the area along Chandler Blvd and Ray Road from 48th Street all the way to maybe 7th Street.

Lots of good places that are not government land where a homeless person could sleep.
