<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://businessmovies.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/ija.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-110" src="http://businessmovies.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/ija.jpg?w=98" alt="" width="98" height="96" /></a> "<em>Where all men are created equal</em>"- More than a hundred years after these words became the foundation of the United States of America, women in the country continued to be less equal than me. <strong>Iron Jawed Angels</strong> (2004) is the story of two women (Alice Paul played by Hillary Swank and Lucy Burns played by Frances O'Connor) who led the struggle for the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution which gave women the right to vote. The name 'iron jawed angels' was the nickname given to some of these women when they resisted being force-fed after they went on a hunger strike to protest against being imprisoned for demanding equal voting rights ('political prisoners') for men and women. Their hunger strike made headline news and ultimately forced President Woodrow Wilson to accept their demand to give women the right to vote.</p>
<p>This movie is about organizational leadership and institutional entrepreneurship. It effectively depicts how the leaders of the women's suffrage movement saw different opportunities and threats in the environment ("Is the first world war a good time to demand that women be given the right to vote?") and how political intrigue is inevitable in any organization, no matter how noble the cause (women's suffrage!). I don't come across many movies about strong and effective women leaders. This is a great movie about different women in leadership roles, and how each women defined her role in her own unique way!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://filipspagnoli.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/school-segregation.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1148" src="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/school-segregation.jpg" alt="school segregation" width="468" height="600" /></a></p>
<p>(copyright by Bill Mauldin)</p>
<p>Here's a short overview of <strong>different types of equality</strong> (I'll come back to this in future posts):</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>1. Equality before the law</strong></p>
<p>This concept is linked to the concept of non-discrimination. Laws must be equal for everybody and should not discriminate between people. Everyone should be protected and punished by the law in the same manner. The law is equal for all and all are equal for the law. The law cannot favor or harm a particular group or person. It can only favor or harm everybody in the same way. It has to be <strong>neutral</strong> with regard to persons. The legislator cannot make a law against or in favor of a particular person or group. A law should never apply to a limited group of people and should never treat people in different ways. It should by definition, be general. The same laws apply to everybody in the same way, including the legislator.</p>
<p>This neutrality is a requirement for both the content and the <strong>application</strong> of a law. A neutral law can still be applied in a selective way. Breaches of the law can be prosecuted or punished in an unequal and discriminatory way (take for example, the <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/human-rights-facts-42-discrimination/">demography of death row in the US</a>). That is also why the <strong>testimony</strong> of all persons is counted with the same weight. If that would not be the case, the equal application of the law would be impossible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>2. Equal human rights</strong></p>
<p>This is also linked to non-discrimination. Every human being has <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/human-rights-cartoon-71/">equal rights</a>, wherever he or she lives, whether he or she believes in a God or not, is rich or poor, or whatever. Human rights are rights of all people at all times. If everybody has equal rights and if, as a consequence, nobody should be discriminated against in the use of his or her rights, then human rights are universal. It is unacceptable that some people enjoy more human rights than others, or enjoy some human rights more than other people enjoy them.</p>
<p>See also <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/tag/discrimination/">these posts on discrimination</a> and <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/tag/universality/">these on universality</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>3. Material equality, equality of income or wealth</strong></p>
<p>See <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/human-rights-cartoon-35/">this post on the need for material equality</a>, as well as <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/a-right-to-have-a-right/">this one</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>4. Political equality</strong></p>
<p>This is expressed in the democratic rule of "one man, one vote" designed to give all citizens <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/what-is-democracy-15/">equal influence</a>. Political participation is an equal right. Everybody has the same right to participate and to rule, irrespective of class, status, race etc. Many social distinctions are politically irrelevant. Everybody has one vote and is politically equivalent. Every vote is as important as the next one, no matter whose vote it is. Of course, political equality can be undone by economic inequality and inequality of wealth. <a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/05/20/marx-and-democracy/">That is why a democracy should also protect a certain kind of material equality</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>5. Equal opportunity</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://filipspagnoli.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/human-rights-quote-73-equality-of-opportunity/">See this post</a>. Equality of opportunity is often contrasted with equality of outcome or condition, i.e. the equality of income and wealth.</p>
<p>Beside these distinctions, others are also often used: equality of procedure, absolute vs relative equality, inequality for equality (affirmative action)...</p>

<p align="left">The inequality of the sexes has deprived society of a vast pool of talent. If women had the free use of their faculties along with the same prizes and encouragements as men, there would be a doubling of the mass of mental faculties available for the higher service of humanity. Every restraint on freedom of conduct of any of their human fellow creatures dries up pro tanto the principal fountain of human happiness, and leaves the species less rich, to an inappreciable degree, in all that makes life valuable to the individual human being.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This salon was recorded on Sunday, June 15, 2008 in the Library Nook of the Buli Cafe on Cedar Springs Road in Dallas. Five years ago, by a 6 to 3 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a Texas law that criminalized same-sex sodomy, stating consensual sexual conduct was part of the liberty protection under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution-no matter who was involved. That ruling has had positive influence on the GLBT Rights movement across the country. Joining <strong>RICK VANDERSLICE</strong> to consider the effects of Lawrence v. Texas over the past 5 years are three sharp political and legal observers. <strong>JOHN SELIG</strong>, activist, writer, and podcaster at <a href="http://www.johnselig.com">www.johnselig.com</a>. President and CEO of AIDS Services of Dallas <strong>DON MAISON</strong>. Business consultant <strong>DENNIS FOREMAN</strong>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feminism, along with all of the other movements seeking equality, has now become the movement of "do your own thing". I agree we should all be free to do our own thing, but a movement needs solidarity and unity. I may be a bit confused, but it seems to me that the modern movements for racial and gender equality appear to be leading right back into these groups actually insisting that we allow them to "choose" to behave in exactly the way male WASPs have been stereotyping them for centuries. Women are beginning to insist that they stay home and raise the kids; people of other races insist on dressing and behaving according to the cultures and traditions they have come from.</p>
<p>And of course, they are all free to bahave according to our most ignorant stereotypes of them if they choose. Efforts to assimilate everyone into one culture made everyone too much alike so that it made it difficult for prejudiced people to hold on to their stereotypes. The current trends toward acting according to your "choices" appear to me to be most effective at isolating these groups, making them easier to pick out. Once they are easy to pick out, they are easy to stereotype.</p>
<p>The idea behind equal rights was to have the same social advantages and access to jobs that white males have. Overcoming this barrier is difficult without people acting as a movement and with unity. "Do your own thing" is the opposite of unity.</p>
<p>I fear the current trends will result in major reversals in whatever gains were made in equal rights somewhere down the road.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Medicare_Assistance_Will_Soon_Be_Hard_To_Get_19954.html">Medicare Assistance Will Soon Be Hard To Get</a></p>
<p> just more proof how the Bush administration is determined to commit mass murder of American citizens, by denying American people, basically selected on the basis of their race, economic level, religious prejudice, and homophobic prejudice, any kind of medical care whatsoever.  Mr. Bush and the white fundamentalist Christians are getting all of the medical care they want.  But when it comes to the people that Mr. Bush and the white fundamentalist Christians do not like, they are now being denied the medical care that they need to survive.  And at the same time, Mr. Bush is literally stealing from the people of America, $162 billion of our tax money.  He is stealing that money that money so that he can continue his campaign, along with a white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans, and the white supremacist fundamentalist Christians and United States, in their massive campaign to continue mass murder of Jews and Muslims in the Middle East so that they can steal the resources and the oil on the people in the Middle East.</p>
<p>Once again, Mr. Bush does not have the authority to do this.  Nobody in this country elected him so that he could steal federal funds and deny people medical care in this country and dust kill us, and consign us to death on he is getting all the medical care he wants, and wall the white fundamentalist Christians get all the medical care they want.  No one elected him to do that.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the Christians want to make any claim about this they need to remember one thing.  The Christians control the Congress.  The Christians control the United States Supreme Court.  The Christian control most of the courts in this country.  The Christians control the White House.  The Christians control most of the hospitals in this country and the movie theaters and the entertainment system.  The United States is 73% Christian.  Which means 73% of all the control of everything that happens in this country is under the control the Christians.  So when things like this happen.  It's not happening because Jews are in fact making these decisions.  It's not happening because Muslims are making the decisions.  These things are happening because white fundamentalist Christians who are actually white supremacist, and who are actually in a campaign to mass murder Jews and Muslims in the United States and throughout the world, are making these choices.</p>
<p>So the Christians want to sit there and say it's not our fault that's nothing but filthy lie.  And for the Republicans in Congress to say that that's not their fault that is also a filthy lie.  The Republicans in Congress are now, by their own actions, admitting they are white supremacist fundamentalist Christians who hate Jews and them hate Muslims in the United States and who are doing everything they possibly can to kill Jews and kill Muslims in these United States, while also killing Jews and killing Muslims throughout the world so they can steal all the resources in the entire world.  And this is basically because the white fundamentalist Christians who are all white supremacist at this point, have been no compassion whatsoever for anyone who is not a white fundamentalist Christian.  If you're not white and Christian in this country, you might as well go out and stand in the street because they want to combine kill you and that's all they care about your they will never give us equal rights they will never give us medical care don't never do anything kind first ever again.  And if they don't like what I'm saying and one of the give the Jews more control in this country instead of making sure that the only ones who have any control in this country are in fact white fundamentalist Christians?  Furthermore, if this isn't true, then why is it that on Sunday mornings the only programming that's allowed on television are programs about Christians and Christian faith?  If the Christians really do support the Constitution of these United States, which is freedom of religion, then why are they only articles in any of the newspapers around the entire United States talking about religious freedom, but only for Christians?  By the questions saying that no one else has religious freedom United States except for Christians?  And if they are saying that, does and that's saying buy their own actions that they do not support the Constitution of this country, which is in fact the law of this country which in fact supports religious freedom for all religions?</p>
<p>You deserve better.  It doesn't matter to me if they take away all the medical care for me because I'm dying anyhow and the sooner that I leave this planet with all these Nazi oriented Christians the better I'll feel.  Besides of the Christians come and drag me from my home and set fire to me or shoot me to death.  That's not in a matter to me at all I am prepared to me got every single day that I wake up.</p>
<p>But one has to wonder exactly why Mr. Bush is trying to steal the medical care for the people in this country while he uses our money illegally to go over and wage war against Muslims and Jews in the Middle East so that he can kill everyone over there and steal all of their resources.  That's not Christian, and that is not pro-life, and that's not loving and that is not an American.  That is nothing more than an agent of Nazi Germany and a friend of Adolf Hitler.</p>
<p>I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of these United States.  I never took an oath to protect and defend Mr. Bush and his campaign to murder Jews, kill gays in the United States and kill Muslims throughout the world and to basically destroy every religious group in the United States and every social group in the United States other than white fundamentalist Christians.  I never took that kind of the notes.  I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.  And that means protecting the rights of all Americans, not just Christians.</p>
<p>And if the Christians are saying they're better than other people than how can they dare to say the pledge allegiance of the flag.  For the pledge allegiance of the flag specifically says, we are one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  It does not say liberty and justice for Christians.  It doesn't say liberty and justice only for Christians and everyone else should be killed it doesn't say any of those words.  So either the Christians need to put up and shut up and start supporting the Constitution or they need to be known for the anti-Americans garbage that they are.</p>
<p>And as I said before, it's only a matter of time before Mr. Bush will be thrown before the court of these United States and found guilty of high crimes against the people of this country and possible treason and sedition as well.  It's only a matter of time.  The country is never going to allow the Christians to commit another Civil War like they did in 1860 it won't happen because before that happened, the free people of this country will rise up and demand that the laws of this nation be upheld and if the Christians don't want local the law this nation want to destroy the Constitution and replace it with the Christian Bible they will then be known for the neo-Nazis that they really are.</p>
<p>End of line...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>"The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee recently released data showing the Army has doubled the number of waivers it grants to recruits convicted of violent felonies including manslaughter, rape and kidnapping. In an attempt to meet personnel goals Pentagon leaders have recently relaxed enlistment standards regarding age, physical fitness, education and criminal records. The discharge of lesbian and gay Americans, however, continues."</strong></p>
<p>this is from an <a href="http://www.sldn.org/templates/press/record.html?section=2&#38;record=4919">article</a> found at <a href="http://www.sldn.org">the servicemembers legal defense network</a> about how women are affected by the "don't ask, don't tell" law more than men. also about how homosexuals continue to be kicked out, while people who are not fit to be in the military are let in.</p>
<p>it really makes no sense at all to me. any rational human being should be able to look at this and realize that our leaders are illogical and should not be given the power they have. i REALLY don't understand how people can support this sort of behavior. how can somebody honestly prefer to be represented by killers and rapists rather than women or homosexuals? how can you look at this and say that the military is doing a good job and should be respected and supported? throw in the countless cases of abuse, murder, and torture, the general disregard for human life, both foreign and domestic, and the way the government "takes care" of it's veterans and it all seems very obvious that things need to be scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up.</p>

<p class="citation"><cite><a href="http://www.kansas.com/news/story/455583.html">health care's looming crisis: &#124; Kansas.com</a></cite>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Again, people need to understand that the United States is 73% Christian.&#160; And that means that 73% up everything that happens in the United States is as a result of Christian control in this country.&#160; It also means that 73% of all the control over the entire United States is in the hands of the Christians.&#160; So when the Christians want talk about how they are better managers, my point issues still comes to the surface.&#160; If the Christians are such good managers than why is our health system failing?&#160; If the Christians are such good managers than why are 100,000 people dying every year as a result of how filthy are hospitals have become?&#160; If the Christians are such good managers than why are only white Christians getting good medical care and most of the rest of the entire nation getting nothing?&#160; I why&#160;are most of the politicians in the United States now white supremacists who practiced openly anti-Semitism and openly hate Muslims and openly hate Native Americans and mostly blacks?&#160; It Christians are such good managers than why are most of the politicians in the United States Congress such filthy liars that they're actually stealing money from the American people in order to continue a campaign of mass murder and war in the Middle East, where they are desperate to steal the natural resources of the Middle East while the entire planet is suffering from terrible climactic change?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the Christians are such good managers than why do they have such a long list of the different things in this world, and people in this world that they have so much hatred for that they are going out of their way to spend most of their time demonstrating their hatred and spend most of their money demonstrating their hatred?&#160; If the Christians are such good lovers and people who actually love their fellow man than why are they constantly demonstrating so much hatred?&#160; If the Christians are such good and loving people, then why are they demonstrating hatred for gays, hatred for Jews, hatred for Muslims, hatred for liberals, hatred for Democrats, hatred for Muslims, hatred for black Americans, hatred for immigrants, hatred for Native Americans?&#160; I mean, the list of how many things the Christians hate never seems to stop it just seems to get larger and larger and larger, with each passing year.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And if the Christians are really loving people than why do they have such a long list of everyone and everything that they hate and that they hate so badly that they're willing to take legal action to make sure these people don't have any rights and they're willing to go to war to destroy their company and kill their children and destroy everything that they have?&#160; Where is the love in that?&#160; If the Christians are such honest people in good managers than why is the government failing so badly that President Bush is now the most hated president in the history of the entire United States?&#160; If the Christians are really such a loving people than why is their religion filled with nothing but a legacy of mass murder for the last 2000 years?&#160; If the Christians are such a loving people than why did their religion sponsor the Spanish Inquisition were almost 5 million Jews and Muslims were killed?&#160; If the Christians are such a loving people than why did the Christians sponsor the burning times for almost 5 million women who are midwives were burned alive?&#160; If the Christians are such loving people than why did they go to the Middle East during the Crusades and murder another almost 3 million Muslims and Jews?&#160; If the Christians are such loving people than why did they bring the black Americans here not to make them citizens, but to make them slaves which they hung on meat hooks and sold for $10 apiece?&#160; If the Christians are such loving people, why did they never pay any reparation, or make any compensation to the black Americans for the horrible treatment that they gave them?&#160; If the Christians are such good people and loving people, then why did Senator John Calhoun of North Carolina demand that either the north submit and allow the southern Christians to own black people as slaves and to be able to kill them whatever they wanted to, or he would in fact secede from the Union and start the Civil War?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the Christians are such loving people than why do they hate every other religion that isn't their own?&#160; If the Christians are really concerned with following United States Constitution than why whenever they talk about religious freedom are they only talking about their religious freedom and nobody else's?&#160; If the Christians are really in favor and support the Constitution than why do they never have any tolerance whatsoever for anyone else's religion?&#160; If the Christians are really concerned with being fair and equal people giving everyone the same rights as they want for themselves, then why is it that the Christians do everything they possibly can.&#160; Not to consider anyone else's religious freedom, or anyone else's right to practice their own religion?&#160; If the Christians are really concerned with granting religious freedom or having religious freedom in the United States than why is it that the tolerance of Christians have for anyone else's religious freedom is virtually nonexistent?&#160; If the Christians really believe in the Constitution where it says that everybody has the same rights under the law that the Christians do, then why do the Christians constantly talk about religious freedom pursuant to only Christians having equal rights in this country?&#160; If the Christians are really concerned with getting religious freedom to other people, then why is it that no programs for the Jewish religion, or the Muslim religion, are ever allowed to be shown on television on the weekends when we have millions of shut-ins who are Jewish and Muslim in this country and who need the same ministering from their religion the Christians do?&#160; Is this because Christians are so loving that they love Christians so much that they will never allow a Jewish programs be put on the air so that Jews could have the same equal rights to Christians do?&#160; Or is it because Christians are so loving that they are telling the Jews to put up and shut up and accept the Christian programming on TV and are telling the Jews the Christians will in fact destroy the Jews and never allow the Jews to ever have any programming on television again?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the Christians are really so loving than why is nobody wanting to do anything with the Christians anymore and wiser medical system in such a terrible horrible state when most of the country is Christian and most of the jobs are Christian and most of the medical system is Christian and most of the government is Christian?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Christians never really wanted take real responsibility for anything in this country other than demanding that they have equal rights for their religion.&#160; But when it comes to equal rights for anyone else's religion the Christians say that nobody has equal rights except for themselves.&#160; In the newspapers the newspapers I see all through the southern states of the United States, continually talking about religious freedom, but only for Christians.&#160; They never talk about religious freedom for anyone else except for themselves.&#160; So in the Christian mind nobody in the United States is religious freedom other than Christians.&#160; And that means that the Christians, by that very statement, and/or posture, is in fact stating that they do not believe anyone in the United States should have religious freedom except Christians.&#160; And that statement is in fact in violation of the Constitution.&#160; Because the Constitution, which is the law of the United States, specifically says that everybody regardless of religion has the same equal rights.&#160; But that's not what the Christians are demanding.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So low these things going on, one wonders why the medical system is in such a terrible state.&#160; However, when one realizes that most of the United States is Christian, that most of the medical system is in fact Christian also, then one wonders why the Christians are allowing the medical system of the United States become so terrible and so horrible that hundreds of thousands of people are dying every single year from neglect and abuse.&#160; Why are the Christians claiming to be such good managers in such good people with business, that the only result of how good they are would business is that hundreds of thousands of people are dying from neglect, from racism, bigotry, from prejudice, from anti-Semitism, from the hatred of Muslims, and from the desperation the Christians had to go through the United States and the world and kill all the Jews and Muslims?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Just like a black lady was left to die on a hospital room floor.&#160; The Christians are pretty much practicing hate and neglect toward anyone that is not a white fundamentalist Christian.&#160; So in other words, if you're not a white fundamentalist Christian in these United States.&#160; You will not get any medical care and you will not get equal rights you will not give equal time on television.&#160; You won't the equal anything.&#160; Because according to the white fundamentalist Christian laws and rules that they live by, and all the newspaper articles I see the Christians are demanding that no other religion be allowed to practice in this country except Christianity.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The we know for a fact, that my grandfather, Maurice Maschke, was United States customs inspector under president Harding for the entire nation.&#160; Which means my grandfather was an extremely powerful and prominent politician in this country.&#160; We also know that my family, the Maschke family, dates back to the 1700s won the Revolutionary war was actually being fought.&#160; Which means my family, a Jewish family, actually helped in the building of this nation.&#160; And with that being the case, one wonders why the Christians have done everything they can to lie about my family, to cheat my family, and to spit on my family and to attack my family all through the years I've lived?&#160; If the Christians are in fact.&#160; So loving than why are they doing everything they possibly can to destroy the Jewish faith in the United States and to destroy the Muslim faith in the United States?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the Christians are so loving than why did they never under any single tree.&#160; If they ever made with the Native Americans in the history of the United States?&#160; Is that loving but lying to these people all those years?&#160; Are Christians loving when they actually destroyed the Native Americans of this nation and reduced all the hundreds and hundreds of tribes that used to exist in this nation down to just a few?&#160; Is that loving us to Mark by the Christians loving when they go to a Jewish temple and a spray paint Nazi symbols on the Temple?&#160; Is that loving?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Our medical system is broken, and it broken because mostly the Christians in this country wanted broken.&#160; And they don't want to admit that but that's actually the fact.&#160; The Christians are the ones who are running the entire country.&#160; They are running the government.&#160; They're running the White House, they are running the Supreme Court, they are running the courts system, they are running all of the political system in the United States.&#160; They're running the medical system, they are running the television media, they are running the movies.&#160; So the movies aren't any good it's not the Jewish people's fault because the Jewish people are running the movies the Christians are.&#160; So if the movies are doing in the goods because the Christians are making the movies that way.&#160; It's not the Jews fault. It is the Christians fault,&#160;since the&#160;Christians&#160;are running everything.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And climate change is just exactly the same way.&#160; The climate of the earth is in fact failing and falling into a definite catastrophe.&#160; It's not the Jews who are doing it.&#160; The Christians are the ones who own most of us of the things here in the United States.&#160; And the Christians are the ones who will continually taken a stand that they don't care about climate change and they don't care if the world is destroyed.&#160; As long as they can continue to mass murder Jews and Muslims wherever they find us and kill us at every turn.&#160; Is that loving?&#160; Is that supportive of equal rights under the Constitution?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Christians have a lot to answer for, but they never will answer because they don't do that.&#160; Christians demand answers from others but they don't answer the questions themselves.&#160; And every time you look in the newspapers in the South like in Texas and other states, these newspapers are always talking about religious freedom.&#160; But when they talk about religious freedom they're always citing religious freedom for Christians.&#160; They never talk about religious freedom for Jews, religious freedom for Muslims or anyone else.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And so now we have the story of the medical system being broken because of a shortage of nurses.&#160; My question is, who wants to work with these Christians with the Christians are doing nothing but preaching hatred?&#160; Furthermore, the Christians will never admit that they have destroyed the medical system in this country, but that's exactly what they have done.&#160; Christians are getting all the medical care they want and nobody else is getting any medical care.&#160; And fact speak louder than words these stories keep coming up, and the Christians are the ones running everything so of these things are in fact showing that the medical system is broken.&#160; It's not the Jews were to join the medical system anymore if the Christians.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>That is unless the Christians don't want to admit that they actually control most of this country, which is not really true, if they say that.&#160; Because the reality is that Christians do control most of this country.&#160; And that Christianity is so pervasive in the United States and 73% of the entire nation is Christian.&#160; And with 72% of the nation being Christian, that means and 73 3% of everything that's wrong with this country is as a result of what the Christians are doing because they're the ones who are in control.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And then to say otherwise is nothing more than of filthy lie and a word game of semantics where they're trying to go ahead and put the blame on someone else when they're the ones who are running everything.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So the medical system is broken.&#160; And this nursing system is in such a situation right now in the United States of nobody's getting adequate medical care.&#160; It's not the Jews fault.&#160; It's not the Muslims will.&#160; We don't own hardly anything in this country anymore and we have virtually no rights in this country thanks to Mr. Bush and the Republican Congress who are basically white supremacist fundamentalist Christians who are determined to destroy the rights of all Jews and all Muslims and all Native Americans in all black Americans in the United States.&#160; And the white supremacist fundamentalist Christian Republicans in the United States Congress are desperate to take $162 billion and use that money instead of trying to help save people's lives in this country, to use that money to go to the Middle East and mass murder Muslims and Jews and kill Muslims and Jews wherever they find them so that they can steal the natural resources from the Middle East.&#160; How is that loving?&#160; How was that helping healthcare?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I don't expect Christians to come up with any answers to any of these questions because they never like to answer questions all they like to do is interrogate other people..</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So I will probably end up being killed eventually because the Christians would rather kill someone than ever admit that they don't want to support the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.&#160; The Christians are constantly talking how their Christian Bible not be Christian Bible for all the world to their particular Christian Bible only should be the law this country.&#160; They're all demanding that the Constitution be destroyed and that the Christian Bible be the only law of this country.&#160; And they want that because they want to have the right to go into people's homes of their Jewish and shoot them in their beds and kill us and burn our homes down they want to take our children out to the street and set them on fire.&#160; They want to go ahead and destroy every Jew in the United States and every Muslim in the United States they want to kill all of us.&#160; And they're desperate to go through the United States and take every gay person and shoot him to death and kill their children and set their bodies on fire the Christians definitely want to do this.&#160; They hate literature that doesn't agree with their religion because they constantly have book burnings just like Adolf Hitler did.&#160; What a Christian doesn't like a book like Terry Potter they gather in a parking lot may burn the books just like Adolf Hitler did.&#160; And the Christians celebrated her because they are desperate to bring back the death camps where they can heard Jews and Muslims in these camps and sentenced the gas chambers where they can just gas us to death and burn is alive.&#160; This is exactly what Christians want they are praying for it.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So the medical system is broken.&#160; It's not the Jews fault.&#160; The Christians of the want to running everything in this country.&#160; So if the nursing system in the employment system in the market system of the United States is falling apart and becoming destroyed, while the nation is 73% Christians.&#160; So it's got to be the Christians while because nobody else is running anything except the Christians.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I really want to see how they're going to lie their way out of this one...</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>End of line...</p>

<p class="citation"><cite><a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/hedgeFundsNews/idUKHOL42776720080704">Hedge fund swindler Israel denied bail &#124; Deals &#124; Hedge Funds &#124; Reuters</a></cite>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Once again, we are looking at another example where the medical community has literally failed.&#160; While this person is not mentally ill, this person has admitted to suffering from chronic pain and has been found to be addicted to painkillers as a result of chronic pain they suffered from.&#160; Furthermore, it can't be conjectured, that part of the reason that this person may have behaved the way he did pursuant to suicides, and his professional career, very well may have been as a result of the chronic pain he suffered from, and then having been put into is such a position, whereby he felt it was necessary to acquire more money in order to acquire more pain medication, because he was then addicted to pain medication in order to try to relieve his back pain.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Had the medical community been more responsive to this person and actually been able to help this person, it is quite possible that none of these chain of events would have happened.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>However, the Republican Party, which is now basically a group of white supremacists who are fundamentalist Christians, have basically decided that rather than give any money to the American people to help them to have a better system of medical care they would rather use that money as white supremacists to continue their overseas campaign of mass murder of Muslims and Jews, while at the same time destroying every aspect of the Middle East and ruining the country and ruining the holy places and ruining the land, and basically destroying the countryside and destroying every aspect of the countries, just so that they can completely destroy the Muslims and Jews over there so that they can than steal the resources from the Middle East.&#160; And the Republicans are so much white supremacist and racists, that they are now desperate to commit mass murder on the half of the fundamentalist Christians white fundamentalist Christians that is, in the United States.&#160; And how do we know this?&#160; We know this because when given the chance to use $162 billion to try to deliver medical care to protect the people of this country which the Republican Party is required by law to do, they basically told the people in this country to die.&#160; Until the people of this country that the Republican Party, is basically nothing more than white supremacists who love to kill rather than to try to help the people they have sworn an oath to protect.&#160; So the Republican Party is basically saying that they have no intention whatsoever to filling their oath of office, which means to protect the people of this country.&#160; Instead what they've said is they're going to use their office to commit mass murder in been known as white supremacists and racists throughout the entire world because they want to be known for being the most destructive and murderous political party in the history of humankind.&#160; The Republican Party wants to be feared by everyone they want everyone of the world to understand the Republican Party keeps all other people everywhere in the world and to Republican Party hates the two-party system in the United States and that the Republican Party is desperate to destroy every Muslim and Jew in the entire world because the Republican Party hate anyone who is not a white supremacist and a white Christian.&#160; So when given the chance to spend $162 billion that would have helped medical care in this country, the Republican Party is basically said they will spit on the Constitution they will disavow their own oath of office, they will will completely show up total and complete contempt for all of the people in this country and contempt for the laws of this country and contempt for the Constitution and they will basically not allow anyone to force them to obey their oath of office.&#160; Because they don't have any intention of obeying their oath of office, which means to protect the people of this country they have no intention of protecting the people of this country under any circumstances.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Republican Party is going to do everything they possibly can to destroy the entire country and destroy the two-party system and to cheat the American people, because as far as the Republican Party's concerned, they don't want anyone alive in this country, who is not a white supremacist or a white Christian.&#160; Because every time the Republican Party's been given the chance to obey their oath of office and support the Constitution the Republican Party turns around and says they have no intention of supporting the Constitution and no intention whatsoever of supporting the two-party system and no intention whatsoever of supporting the health care for the people of this country.&#160; And every time they are given a chance to do so they turned their back on the people of this country and instead use billions of dollars for only one purpose to show the world how much they are like the Nazi party under it October, and how much white supremacists and white racists they really are because they are desperate to demonstrate their religious hatred, their religious intolerance, and there political prejudice, and they're opened white supremacist racism to the entire world.&#160; And they are doing this by refusing to spend any money whatsoever on trying to help the people who are dying every day in this country or Republican Party bound to protect, who desperately need medical care.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So instead the Republican Party to do everything they can to completely destroy the Constitution and destroy destroy the People's rights of this country.&#160; The Republican Party is desperate to destroy the medical system in this country because they know if people in this country get medical care that they'll be healthy and happy and the Republican Party does not want the people in this country to be happy or healthy unless they are white supremacists.&#160; And fundamentalist Christians.&#160; And since a lot of people are turning their back on the white supremacy and open racism of the white fundamentalist Christians, the Republican Party is now going to use open mass murder of American citizens as a tool to destroy this country destroy the Constitution and to commit mass murder of Muslims and Jews over in the Middle East so that they can than steal the natural resources from the Middle East.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Every time the Republican Party is given a chance to help people in this country the Republican Party turns around and demonstrates to the people of this country that they are basically white supremacists who hate all people who are not white fundamentalist Christians in the United States and that day, the Republican Party are dedicated to destroying the Constitution and the Bill of Rights because they have no intention whatsoever of upholding their oath of office.&#160; They did not want to obey the law they did not want to help the people of this country and they don't care how many people die every single day as long as a Republican Party gets what they want for themselves, which is all the money they can steal, and all the health care they can steal for themselves.&#160; As far as everyone else is concerned that Republican Party says the American people that the American people need to go somewhere and simply die because the public and parties as we don't care about you is people we care about your money and we are going to steal your money as much as possible and&#160;then &#160;kill everyone of you in this country who does not become a white supremacist who hates everyone except white Christians.&#160; And we are been destroy all Jews in this country.&#160; We are going to destroy every political party in this country except for the Republican Party.&#160; We are going to destroy the United States to force United States to be a theocracy and dictatorship and if we can't have our way we will kill everyone in this country would kill the judges will kill the people will kill every Democrat will destroy every part of this world.&#160; As long as we get our way that's all we care about.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>That's basically the attitude of the white fundamentalist Christians and Republican Party at this time and we know this because that is how their actions are in fact demonstrating their behavior.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And as I said, the Republican Party, if they were not such open white supremacist and racists, very well could have prevented the sequence of events of this story.&#160; But the Republican Party is so anti-Semetic and so much about hating Jews in Haiti Muslims and hating anyone who's not a white supremacist and of white fundamentalist Christian, that the Republican Party is refusing under any circumstances whatsoever to help anyone in this country, who is not a white supremacist, or a white fundamentalist Christian.&#160; Every action of there's points in this particular direction.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Furthermore, when given the chance to obey the Constitution and their own oath of office, which states a willfully in front of all the world, the Republican Party sign the world that they don't care about anyone in this world and they don't care about anyone in the United States as long as they can continue their campaign of killing people in the United States killing Americans killing Jews in killing Muslims throughout the world and stealing all the money and resources they possibly can get.&#160; The Republican Party get all the resources they want for themselves they get all the medical care they want for themselves.&#160; They get all the money they get&#160;for themselves, and&#160;everything they want.&#160; And while they're getting everything they want, everyone in the United States, who is not a white supremacist, or a white fundamentalist Christian, is basically been mistreated arrested and thrown in jail.&#160; And either killed or basically kicked out of the country.&#160; This is really the agenda of the Republican Party anymore.&#160; The only time when I have seen this country.&#160; So overrun by filthy disgusting liars was at the time of the Civil War.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And at the time of the Civil War.&#160; It was again white supremacists who were Republicans, and white fundamentalist Christians, who declared the Senate and the Congress of the United States in 1860 that the Southern states would never give up their right to own black people and to kill them and murder them whenever they wanted.&#160; That attitude is not changed at all in the Republican Party except for the brief time that my grandfather ran the Republican Party in northeastern Ohio.&#160; Other than that one single time the Republican Party has basically turned into a group of white fundamentalist Christians, who are basically also nothing more than white supremacist who are demonstrating with everything they do a much they hate the two-party system, and how much they are desperate to kill all Americans who are not white supremacist or white fundamentalist Christians.&#160; And they are desperate to destroy the two-party system, because they do not like the United States Constitution they do not like the United States anymore being a democracy they don't want being democracy and they do not want the United States to give rights to anybody in this country other than white fundamentalist Christians who are willing to be white supremacist, and go forward and help the Republicans to mass murder Jews and Muslims all throughout the world in Afghanistan in the Middle East where ever they possibly can the Republicans are so bloodthirsty and they hate humans so badly.&#160; They want to kill every single human in the entire world even if it means the distraction of the entire planet they don't care.&#160; The Republican Party would rather see the planet completely destroyed with all human life everywhere been killed including themselves.&#160; Rather than to allow single Jew or a single Muslim have any rights anywhere in the world.&#160; And the Republican Party has no intention whatsoever of supporting global warming efforts.&#160; They have no intention whatsoever of giving any rights or any Muslim or Jew anywhere in the world.&#160; And Republican Party hates Israel, and they hate the Middle East they hate Iraq in Iran they hate all Muslims.&#160; They hate all Jews in the United States they hate the American parties of the Democratic Party and hate liberals, they hate Jewish Americans they hate Muslim Americans they hate fuel efficiency.&#160; They hate anyone who's not a white fundamentalist Christians.&#160; They hate the Constitution.&#160; They hate the Bill of Rights.&#160; And they are desperate to do everything it possibly can to destroy the Supreme Court to destroy the Bill of Rights and kill anyone in this country who dares to have want to have free speech.&#160; They don't want free speech either.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And all these things are being demonstrated every single day by the disgusting traitorous behavior.&#160; The white fundamentalist Christians and United States and the white supremacist Republican Party, who are almost all white fundamentalist Christians and who are desperate to bring back the pre-Civil War.&#160; Fight and hatred they completely almost destroyed the United States.&#160; But the Republican Party doesn't really care.&#160; If they did their behavior and Congress would be different and it's not.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So yet again we are looking at the Republican Party and the white fundamentalist Christians behaving as white supremacists who are desperate to bring back the neo-Nazi movement into the United States and go through the United States and openly kill all gains, kill all Native Americans, kill all Blacks, kill all Jews and all Muslims in the United States and everywhere in the world is at all the Republican Party and the white funnel as Christians care about anymore is committing mass murder of American Jews, American Muslims, American gay people and anyone who's American who is not a white fundamentalist Christian or a white supremacist.&#160; Their actions speak do this every single second they exist.&#160; Furthermore, if the white fundamentalist Christians actually believe in the Constitution they would not behaving the way they are.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So the United States now is in a terrible cataclysmic struggle between people who desperately want to have freedom.&#160; As the basis for this country and the white fundamentalist Christians and white supremacist Republicans who are desperate to destroy the Constitution, and destroy the Supreme Court to destroy the government of the United States and to kill all Americans and anyone in the world who is a Jew or a Muslim or gay or who is not a white fundamentalist Christian who does not submit to being a white supremacist.&#160; And the Republican Party is doing everything they can spending many many millions of dollars to destroy the Democratic Party to destroy any other political party other themselves.&#160; This clearly shows they have no intention of supporting the two-party system.&#160; And this clearly shows that everything they say whenever they talk on camera or in the House of Representatives or the Congress of or the Senate, is nothing but filthy lies.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the Republican Party really cared about the medical people of the medical system in this country.&#160; They would be giving money to help the medical system in which they are determined not to do.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And the Republican Party is being told not to give any money to help anyone who's and medical need in this country because the white fundamentalist Christians in the United States have so much hatred in them that they are desperate to be able to pick up guns and go through the streets and start shooting people at will this is what the white funnel as Christians desperately want.&#160; They want the right to go out and start shooting all Jews, shooting all Muslims should anyone who's gay.&#160; They want to go through the streets and to shoot people on-site they want to shoot us in our cars they want to shoot us in our homes and one set fire to our homes they want to kill us they would hang black people on meat hooks like they did during the Civil War.&#160; They want to take Jews in openly drag them out of their homes and burn them alive and burn their children and set them on fire the way they did during the burning times.&#160; The white fundamentalist Christians are desperate to force their religion on everybody in this country and if they don't get their way they will kill every American in this country and they will destroy the entire world so that everyone the world is completely dead Republican Party and the white fundamentalist Christians would rather have the will destroy completely, than to ever allow a Jew or a Muslim or a gay person or anyone our black person or Native American or anyone who's not a white fundamentalist Christian and a white supremacist to exist.&#160; All of their actions point to this exact behavior.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If the white fundamentalist Christians and the white supremacist white fundamentalist Christian Republicans don't like me talking this way that perhaps they need to demonstrate different behavior than what they're demonstrating now.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I have supported the Constitution all of my life.&#160; I supported the Bill of Rights all of my life.&#160; I have no agenda with what I'm posting here other than to stand by the Constitution which bestows equal rights to all Americans, not just white fundamentalist Christians who are white supremacists.&#160; Furthermore, as John F. Kennedy said at one point, a nation who cannot secure and protect the many who are poor, and not secure and protect the few who are wealthy.&#160; But of course the white fundamentalist white supremacist Republicans don't care about that.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And as I said before, when I talk about medicine in this country.&#160; I have a lot of awareness and ammunition that most people don't have.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>My grandfathers brother, Dr. ally Maschke, was the director of medicine at mount Sinai medical center here in Cleveland, Ohio.&#160; Furthermore, my cousin, Dr. Victor Vertese, was also the director of medicine at mount Sinai medical center in Cleveland, Ohio.&#160; Furthermore, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, were personal friends of Dr. Bernard Kryle, one of the founders of the Cleveland clinic foundation here in Cleveland, Ohio.&#160; Furthermore, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was on the board of trustees, for the Cleveland clinic foundation here in Cleveland, Ohio.&#160; Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, co-owned The Pioneer Linen Supply Company, here in Cleveland, Ohio until his death.&#160; Furthermore, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was the president, at one time, of the national linen supply Association of America.&#160; Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., not only attended Harvard University, but graduated summa cum laude with automatic professorship with tenure, in Romance languages, because he was able to speak a languages fluently at the time.&#160; Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was also US Supreme Court attorney here in Cleveland, Ohio.&#160; Additionally, my grandfather, Maurice Maschke, was not only the national Republican committeeman, for all northeastern Ohio, during his life, but he was also the United States customs inspector for the entire United States, under president Harding.&#160; Additionally, the Maschke family dates back to the 1700s, and was actually one of the founding families of Cleveland, Ohio, with Moses Cleaveland, when Clinton Ohio was found.&#160; Additionally, my aunt, Helen Hanna Maschke, was married, at one time , for a period of years, to Mark Hanna, the founder of the Hanna Mining Company, which became a 3M company.&#160; Additionally, for five years, I was certified and bonded, as illegal collection agent for the medical industry, and the medical insurance industry.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So when I say that I grew up in a family of lawyers and doctors that's the truth.&#160; When I say that my family has always been patriotic and believed in the Bill of Rights and believed in equal rights for all people in this country not just white fundamentalist Christians are white supremacists, that's also true.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>This story again, very clearly indicates how desperate the Republican Party is to commit mass murder in the United States and around the world all people who are not white supremacist or white fundamentalist Christians.&#160; And it's Republican Party wants to demonstrate other than this, then they need to change their public behavior.&#160; So far they have not done so.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And as I've said before, my only agenda pursuant to this entire matter is, because I have a terminal illness and I'm dying.&#160; Medical care doesn't really mean very much to me anymore.&#160; My days are very difficult with the constant pain and physical difficulties and limitations of I live with.&#160; But I've always believed that as a human being and as a member of the American Society, as a member of this nation built on freedom, it is my duty as an American citizen to uphold the constitution, to protect the Constitution, to protect the rights of all Americans, not just a white fundamentalist Christians, or the white supremacist, and to make sure that the Constitution is protected.&#160; This is how I was raised by a family that actually led the way in protecting civil rights in this country all of their lives.&#160; And for that the Republican party now has treated my family with a tremendous amount of hatred.&#160; Because the Republican Party openly hates Jews and openly hates Muslims in openly hates Native Americans and black Americans.&#160; The Republican Party hates anyone who is not a white fundamentalist Christian and a white supremacist.&#160; And the medical system is in fact suffering as a result of the selfishness, and greed, and the avarice that the Republican Party is demonstrating whereby they are willing to do anything they possibly can to destroy the two-party system and to destroy this Constitution of these United States and to kill anyone in this country and around the world, who is either a Muslim, a Jew, a black American, or in fact a Native American or who is not a white supremacist or a white fundamentalist Christian.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And as a result the medical system is completely and totally failing.&#160; The Republican Party has forgotten that the United States is one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.&#160; And those words mean that this country is predicated on freedoms for all people.&#160; Not just white supremacists or white fundamentalist Christians.&#160; But the white Christians who are all basically white supremacist, and very racist, want nothing more than to murder everyone they possibly can and destroy the world if necessary in order to make sure that no one is left to live on this planet other than a white supremacist or a white fundamentalist Christian or it and all these things that I'm putting up your in this particular Journal are in fact showing this very clearly.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>As I've said before, this Journal is not about me.&#160; It's about you.&#160; You are the ones with the families and the children.&#160; You are the ones who are veterans out there been mistreated every single day.&#160; You are the ones that these white supremacist white fundamental as Christians, who are Republicans are forcing to go over to the Middle East and to me.&#160; They are killing for them.&#160; They don't care about the veterans of this country.&#160; They don't care how many Americans extended their death as long as the Republicans can continue their campaign of mass murder.&#160; Every time they're given a chance to help the medical system in this country they turn around and steal from it instead.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>You deserve better.&#160; You do not deserve to be treated this way.&#160; Your children don't deserve to be treated this way New Orleans is in deserve to be treated so badly.&#160; The black Americans in this country don't deserve to be treated this way.&#160; The Native Americans don't deserve to be treated this way and neither do the Jews of the United States or the blacks.&#160; We all deserve better and were not getting it because the Republican Party is now nothing more than a bunch of filthy liars who are white supremacist and white Russians who are desperate to destroy the Constitution and destroy the Bill of Rights rights for anyone other than a white supremacist or a white Christian.&#160; Every action they are showing publicly and privately demonstrating this very clearly.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>As I've always said, give me liberty or give me death.&#160; I have no problem dying in order to go before God, because I have nothing to feel guilty for because I have never hated anyone based on the color of their skin, or based on any of these other spurious criteria that the Republican Party white Christians are using to disavow any rights for anyone who's not a white supremacist or white fundamentalist Christian.&#160; The newspapers are full of their propaganda and her filthy lies claiming that they are more equal and should have more rights than other people in this country.&#160; The list of how many groups Christians the white Christian specifically, who are all white supremacist, have hatred for is becoming extremely long.&#160; Every day we hear more and more about how much the white fundamentalist Christians have hatred for all the different groups in this country Jews, Muslims, gays, black Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, immigrants are coming to this country the list goes on and on and on about how much hatred the white fundamentalist Christians who are white supremacist have nothing but hatred for everyone in this country other than white fundamentalist Christians.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And as I said, you people in this country deserve better.&#160; It's only a matter of time before the white fundamentalist Christians come to my home the to kill me or burn my home to the ground because of how much hatred that is for Jews in the city of Cleveland anymore.&#160; And as I've said before, city of Cleveland has now become a center of racism that is absolutely despicable.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So it's up to you, America.&#160; Are you going to stand by the Bill of Rights, which grants equal rights to all Americans.&#160; Or are you going to stand behind a white supremacist white fundamentalist Christian Republicans, who are desperate to kill all Americans who are not white fundamentalist Christians and to mass murder Jews and Muslims in the Middle East so that they can steal all the resources.&#160; Are you going to stand behind the Constitution of these United States, which proudly declares that United States is a free society.&#160; Or are you going to stand behind the white supremacist white fundamentalist Christian Republicans, who are desperate to destroy the Constitution and destroy the two-party system in this country so that the United States will then be a dictatorship and a theocracy, whereby no one will be allowed to be alive in this country is not either a white supremacist or a white Christian.&#160; And again I say with that being the case, there doesn't seem to be much difference anymore between the white supremacist Christian fundamentalists of the Republican Party and the Nazi movement of World War II.&#160; And if there is a difference I'm still waiting for the Republicans to demonstrate that difference.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>End of line...</p>

<p class="citation"><cite><a href="http://www.hidesertstar.com/articles/2008/07/04/latest_news/news1.txt">Medicare patients must seek new supply sources</a></cite>.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>More proof that the medical system in the United States is in fact broken, while the Republican Party acting as white supremacist, continue their campaign of stealing money from the American people and not giving that money to help the medical system in this country but to use it as white supremacists for them to go forward and mass murder Muslims and Jews based on their religion and kill them in the Middle East and steal the resources of the Middle East.&#160; This is what the Republicans are doing their acting just like white supremacist who are determined to steal all the medical care from this country and to lie to the American people.&#160; They gave $162 billion not to help the medical care this country but to use it to act just like Nazis did under Germany in under Hitler and to go forward and kill Muslims and Jews based on their religion.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>And the Republicans are refusing to give this money to help the medical system in this country because the white fundamentalist Christians want to kill as many Muslims and Jews as possible and they don't care to Muslims and Jews year in the live here in this country they want us dead and they're demanding that the Republican Party step up to the plate and act like white fundamentalist white supremacist and do go forward and do mass murder as many Muslims and Jews in the Middle East and to steal all the resources there is possible and Mr. Bush is helping them to do that.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>So when the Republican Party took an oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution I guess that means they have the right to lie to the American people and to spit on the American people if the record people aren't white and fundamentalist Christian.&#160; Because what we have?&#160; We have Americans who are not white fundamentalist Christians pretty much dying in the streets and dying in hospital rooms because the white fundamentalist white supremacist Republicans are desperate to steal as much money and get as much medical care as they can for themselves while spitting on the Constitution spitting on God and spitting on all the Jews and Muslims in the entire world so they can go over to the Middle East and bomb the Middle East and destroy the Middle East and steal all the oil that they can possibly can from their so that they can march forward as good white fundamentalist Christian racist and declare that Christians will be the only ones allowed to live on the earth.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>If I'm wrong than why are the Republicans refusing to give any money to medical care in the country?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Or did the Republicans not taken note to protect and defend the people of this country and doesn't that mean provide medical care.&#160; So they don't die in hospital room waiting rooms?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I guess being a Republican these days instead what my grandfather was, means being a white supremacist racist like the Nazis under Hitler.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Of course if the Republicans don't like be posting things like this and maybe they need to actually obey their oath of office, which means to protect and defend the Constitution and all that it entails, which means they will protect the legal beneficiaries of the Constitution, which is we the people.&#160; And we the people means that this is the United States, which is one nation under God indivisible, with liberty and justice for all not just a white supremacist white fundamentalist Republican Christians who are desperate to mass murder Jews and Muslims based on their religion and their skin color and to steal all the resources from the Middle East so that they can go over there and use bombs to destroy the Middle East as much as possible and leave everything nothing but a wasteland so they can have all the oil and all the money and then kill all the Jews and Muslims in the United States is well.&#160; That's not taking an oath of office to protect the Constitution.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Not unless the United States is now the new Nazi Germany.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>End of line...</p>

<dl> </dl>
</div>
<p>Two hundred and thirty-two years ago today, our forefathers, supported and counseled by our wise and steadfast foremothers, declared in a moving and revolutionary document their independence from the tyranny of a colonial rule without representation and began the effort to design a radically new type of government founded on the principle that all men, and regretfully only men and not quite all of them, are created equal and that government should be of, by, and for the people. Since that time, our most wise and courageous ancestors, including among numerous others Chief Sealth, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., César Chavez, and Rachel Carson, have with equal elegance asserted additional essential truths about the value of people of all colors and races and both genders, about our brother and sister animals, and about the forests and mountains and rivers of our nation. But today, we, the descendants of these people of vision and principle, have lost our way and stoop on the edge of moral decay, spiritual ignorance, and self-destruction.<!--more--></p>
<p>Yoked by the tyranny of a corporate and capitalist rule that cares not for the people it controls and instructs nor for the resources it usurps and wastes, we move without purpose, we act without thought, and we contribute our own lives and energies to supporting the beast that is destroying us. We are taxed in countless and often indirect and unseen ways by these private institutions that do not represent our best interests. We are lulled into docility by the pervasive media voices and images generated and controlled by these tyrants. They urge us into war to give our lives in their defense yet they do nothing to protect us in return. On the birthday of our country we are urged to "celebrate" by consuming, "remember" through forgettable purchases devoid of meaning, and affirm our independence by heeding the voice of the tyrant who oppresses by telling us we are not good enough as we are, that we lack essential qualities, products, or services that would make us whole, and that we will be freed from our sorrows and imperfections by giving ourselves and what we own and create to that very tyrant.</p>
<p>Having come to the precipice of our own demise, we can if we so choose see before us the terrible chasm of the tyrant's vast and awesome power. This is a call for us to stand together, defiant of our common oppressors. We must unite—strong, righteous, fierce, and focused and once again hold these truths to be self-evident:</p>
<ul>
<li>that all animals, human and otherwise, regardless of how they are created or how they emerge into and through life, are deserving of equal rights;</li>
<li>that chief among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of a true happiness that comes from self-actualization, freedom of thought and voice, freedom from poverty and violence, communion with friends and family, and peaceful coexistence with one another, a happiness not extracted at the expense of ourselves, our neighbors, or our home;</li>
<li>that a democratic government of the people, by the people, and for the people should not and must not be construed and envisioned primarily as a capitalist government and should not and must not be in league with corporate interests, which are not the same as and in fact are in conflict with the interests of the people; and</li>
<li>that when an abuse of power that threatens these rights and the ability of all people to claim them is pervasive, long-standing, and institutionalized, the people have the right and the duty to overthrow it.</li>
</ul>
<p>Our government in league with corporate and therefore private interest, operating in defense of corporate profit, is by logical extension and demonstrated to be through well-documented, long-standing evidence in opposition to the self-evident rights of the people. This is a call, therefore, for the people of the United States of America to reclaim our government as our own, to assert our right to independence from corporate tyranny, to absolve our allegiance to a culture of consumption, to dissolve all political connection between our free, independent states and the Corporate State, and to pledge to one another in this declaration our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>More proof of how the medical system in the United States is totally and completely broken.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Nothing more needs to be said except that we need to have better medical care regardless of their filthy lies the Republicans are telling people.&#160; As I said before, the Republicans have chosen to use $162 billion of our tax money not to help fix medical care in this country but to commit mass murder of Muslims and Jews as the white supremacist that the Republicans are, to go into the Middle East as white supremacist and murder Muslims and Jews in steal the resources from the Middle East.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>This not only says something terribly sinister about the United States, but it also says that the Republicans are basically violating their oath of office to protect the people of this country, which means to give them medical care and especially to give them the same degree of medical care that the Republicans want for themselves and the white fundamentalist Christians of this country.&#160; To do otherwise is to knit nothing more than treason.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>End of line...</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>More proof of how our medical system in the United States is now broken.&#160; And virtually unfixable as a result of the Republican effort to sabotage medical care in the United States, while stealing money from the American people and using that tax money.&#160; Instead of fixing the medical system that is desperately in need of being fixed, but to use that money instead for war and mass murder of Jews and Muslims in the Middle East.&#160; So that the American Christians can go and steal the natural resources from the Jews and Muslims of the Middle East.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>This is tantamount to the Republican Party saying they have no interest in the United States being a two-party system, and they have no interest in the United States ever supporting the Constitution or in being able to grant equal rights to anyone other than Christians in this country or it and that is not only subversion of the Constitution, the violation of their oath of office, but it is sedition, and treason as well.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Republican Party is clearly showing they would rather make sure that they and the Christians of the United States get all the medical care they want while they do everything they possibly can steal money from everyone else in this country and make sure that nobody gets any medical care at all except for the Christians and then to steal all the tax money from everyone else and use that tax money and their massive campaign, just like Adolf Hitler did, to go through the Middle East killing Muslims and Jews so they can steal the natural resources from the Middle East and claim victory and white supremacy over the region.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Again I say, what is the difference between the Republicans and the Nazi party of World War II?</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Just more proof of how easy it is for the medical community, and the Republican Party at the United States to mistreat and abuse the mentally ill.&#160; The question continually needs to be asked.&#160; When will the mentally ill be allowed to have the same equal rights as other Americans?</p>

<p class="citation"> </p>
<p>Just more proof of how the medical community in the United States is totally and completely failing the mentally ill.  The medical community loves to make a big show about how they're doing such heroic effort this country.  But in actuality the medical communities turned out to be nothing but a bunch of filthy liars, who are doing nothing but cheating the American people in stealing money from the American people at every turn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When one considers that the basic rule of thumb answer for the mentally ill United States is eager to over medicate them, lock them up, treat them with electroshock therapy, or put them in jail, or kill them, then one realizes that the medical community hasn't done one single thing to help the mentally ill at all.  Furthermore how can the medical community be doing anything to help the mentally ill.  When we have 43,000 suicides or taking place every year in the United States, which are happening at the rate of one every 15 minutes.  It's very easy to be cavalier about the mentally ill, because it's not a disease, anybody can see.  It's very easy to say that someone is just stupid when there mentally ill, but the fact of the matter is, when analysis is done, the truth comes out that the average intelligence of people who are mentally ill is often times at least between five and 10% higher than the average population.  The study eyesight is not only the New England medical Journal, but the American medical Journal, and the medical journal for England.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Furthermore, while most of my life a lot of people that I've met an encounter in life have always found that I was stupid.  They are now beginning to realize I had never been stupid, nor my stupid now.  Furthermore they're realizing that yes, I'm quite mentally ill, but I'm certainly not stupid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There's no way that I can do anything really physically beneficial for the people who are mentally ill and who are suffering with chronic pain way that I suffer from it in my neighborhood, here in Cleveland.  The Cleveland community is so racist and so prejudice and so hateful and so anti-Semetic, but living on the west side I virtually did no protection for my equal rights under any circumstances.  And because the city is now mostly black inner to get any real equal treatment in this city.  You have to now be black, because most of the white star mistreated and pretty much abused by the black government and by most of the black residents of the city.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is another reason why when I finished paying off our home in three years, my wife and I will move from the city of Cleveland.  I refuse to stay in a city that prides itself on such degree of murder, and greed, and graft, and outright bigotry and prejudice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And since the city of Cleveland refuses to get behind equal rights for all residents but would rather get behind equal rights for simply black residents or simply those who are Christian.  Then I'll simply go to another place in the country.  I go to another place in the country to die.  It doesn't matter where I die, and end up going before God.  I just don't want to do it around a city or living in the city did so blatantly racist and homophobic that living here is pretty much like living in a concentration camp.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's unfortunate, because I have a long history with the city.  And my family has a long history of having contributed heavily to the city to make a great and now the city prides itself on how ugly and disgusting and racist and bigoted it can be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And let's be clear, my grandfather, Maurice Maschke Jr., was a national Republican committeeman for all northeastern Ohio.  Additionally, he was the United States customs inspector under president Harding for the entire United States.  Additionally, my grandfathers brother, Dr. ally Maschke, was the director of mount Sinai medical center here in Cleveland, until his death.  Additionally, my cousin, Dr. Victor Vertese, was the director of medicine for mount Sinai medical center here in Cleveland, until his death as well.  Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., was on the board of trustees for the Cleveland clinic foundation here in Cleveland, Ohio until his death.  My father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, were both personal friends of Dr. Bernard Kryle, who was one of the founders of the Cleveland clinic foundation here in Cleveland, Ohio.  We were Dr. Kryle's personal friends until his death.  Additionally, my father, Maurice Maschke Jr., and I, co-owned The Pioneer Linen Supply Company, which was located at 3611 Payne Ave in Cleveland, Ohio until it was sold in 1975 to FW means and company on Chicago.  Additionally, my father, was at one time, the president of the American linen supply Association of America.  Additionally, my aunt, Helen Hanna Maschke, was married at one time for a period of years, to Mark Hanna, the founder of the Hanna Mining Company, which became the 3M Co..  Furthermore, I have been a certified and bonded  legal collection agent for the medical community, and the medical insurance industry, at one time for 5 full years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Additionally, I have been a partner and for other companies and owned two of my own companies.  So I talk about the city of Cleveland.  I'm talking about it from a rather heavy investment that my family is made culturally to this location.  And for the city of Cleveland to suddenly behave like they are nothing more than a bunch of angry racists.  Not only discredits the city, but pretty much explains why the city of Cleveland is being ignored throughout the entire country and looked upon with only the statistic that shows the city of Cleveland as one of the most racist cities in the country as anything giving a notoriety these days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's not very easy to be Jewish in Cleveland anymore because of the level of anti-Semitism.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that coupled with the fact that the city is now predominantly black.  Makes life for white people in the city of Cleveland much more difficult, because we just don't get the same equal rights as the black people do.  And where I have seen racism most certainly coming from white people towards blacks not only in Cleveland, but around the country, I have seen a tremendous amount of racism within the black community here in Cleveland, Ohio.  The black people who live in the suburbs often refer to themselves as uptown blacks.  And when they see the black people at the different bus stops and rapid transit stations in Cleveland, who are coming to those stations from the inner city, the uptown blacks referred to the people coming from the inner city who are black as the downtown blacks.  And there is a tremendous amount of racism that goes on between the two groups of black people.  This is not something that the black people like to admit to or even advertise whatsoever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Additionally, the mayor of the city of Cleveland has been fraught with all sorts of legal difficulties and rather unfortunate scandals, making his administration problematic at best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Furthermore, when you look at how his administration streets the mentally ill, the mentally ill basically get no rights whatsoever in the city of Cleveland whatsoever for the moment you say you are mentally ill.  The mayor's action line pretty much will ignore you and treat you as if you have no rights whatsoever in treat you as if your opinion doesn't matter at all.  I tape recorded conversations with the mayor's action line here in Cleveland, Ohio.  Proving categorically that the mayor's action line refuses to give me any credence whatsoever simply because I'm mentally ill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So as I said, even though my family has a long legacy of contributing to the city of Cleveland, culturally and psychologically and financially, but my home is paid off in three years.  I will go somewhere else to die.  I've been offered a number of places around the country where people are more than eager to have me come out and join them.  Rather than have to stay here in Cleveland, where most of the people now hate Jews and hate me because I'm mentally ill.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So when I tell you that the medical system in this country is broken.  I speak from coming from generations of living with doctors and lawyers in my own family and having been exposed to the medical community all my life.  Furthermore, when I tell you point blank that the medical community in Cleveland and around the country have literally failed me, pursuant to my own mental illness.  This is a categoric fact.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the medical community were really interested in helping the mentally ill than we would not have stories like this and we would not have a statistic of 43,000 people taking their own lives every single year at the rate of one every 15 minutes from the ages of four years old all the way up to adulthood.  Those figures would not exist if the medical community were doing their job.  But the medical community can only be as good as the politicians who are helping the medical community to do their job.  And from what I am being given to understand basically the Republican Party's attitude for the mentally ill is that they would rather kill most of us and give us any medical care at all.  It's just like I said the other day, the Republican Party had a chance to be able to allocate money for medical care in this country.  But instead the Republicans decided that they wanted to use $162 billion of our tax dollars our tax money that wasn't there money that was our money.  And they decided to use that money, rather than to help build the medical community in this country and the medical system in this country they decided to use that money to continue their campaign of mass murdering Jews and Muslims in the Middle East.  So they can steal the resources of the Middle East.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that not only makes the Republican party a bunch of white supremacists.  But it makes an extremely homophobic and xenophobic as well.  And it possibly make some outright racists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then one wonders exactly what kind of oath they took when they took that oath of office.  Their oath of office says they will protect and defend the Constitution and all that it entails we the people are the legal beneficiaries of the Constitution.  Yet when they spend $162 billion of our money to go out and mass murder Jews and Muslims in the Middle East because of their hatred for Jews and Muslims and then to steal the resources of Middle East and to promote more war and killing rather than to deal with the medical problems in this country, that really says they don't have any intention whatsoever, by their own actions, of doing anything to fulfill their oath of office.  It says basically what they have an intention of doing is stealing as much money from the United States is possible and cheating the people of this country as much as possible and doing everything they possibly can to disenfranchise the needy in this country who desperately need medical care while they do whatever they possibly can to get medical care for themselves, and at the same time.  Use our tax dollars to go overseas to commit mass murder of Muslims and Jews and steal the resources from the Middle East.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that then of course raises the question, how are the Republican Party different from the neo-Nazi party of World War II?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I said before, I have a terminal illness in every single day is a challenge for me.  But I'm used to it after all these years.  After 40 years of dealing with this and having grown up in the Maschke family with a tremendous amount of social pressure upon me at all times to keep going, unfairly will used to dealing with extreme hardship.  So this Journal and the journals I do are not about me.  They are about you.  You are the ones with the families and the children.  You are the ones with the future.  You are the ones in other difficult places in this country who deserve better.  You do not deserve the medical community to treated this way you do not deserve to the medical community to turn their back on you because you're mentally ill.  You do not deserve the Republican Party to lie and steal and cheat from you and steal your tax money so that they can get all the medical care they want while giving you know medical care at all.  You deserve better...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I tell you as one American citizen to another that it is about time that you, all of you out there in this world and in America, stand up and demand more equal rights for yourselves and for your family and for your children.  You deserve better.  In the United States.  We are all American citizens.  And the beauty of the Constitution and the United States of America is that this country was not founded or predicated upon how much we are alike.  This country was in fact predicated upon the fact that we are all different and have many different points of view, and yet as a result of those different points of view we would love each other enough in love this country enough to stand by this country no matter what.  However the Republican Party is clearly showing they have no interest in maintaining a two-party system or in maintaining people choice pursuant to any political endeavor in this country.  If the Republican Party were interested in it in a two-party system or in maintaining a free a lack of choice in this country they would not be so reckless and so much like gangsters who are determined to destroy every other party other than their own.  And they would also not be so extremely rapid white rabbit dollars, who are desperate to steal American tax money so they can continue mass murder of Jews and Muslims in the Middle East as they are doing.  And in addition to that they would not be stealing tax money from the American people that is desperately needed to save lives and the medical system of this country so that they could use that money to commit more mass murder around the world and in the Middle East of Muslims and Jews rather than help people who are desperately in need of medical care in this country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This type of behavior having come from two generations of US Supreme Court attorneys and having studied the Constitution most of my life, is not only subversion of the Constitution is tantamount to sedition and possibly treason as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And as I've said before, no organization, and no business in this country has any rights under the Constitution under any circumstances.  The only way that any organization religious or otherwise, and any business in any way, has any rights under the Constitution is by virtue of the fact that we the people are part of those businesses and organizations.  If we are not part of those organizations and/or businesses, then those businesses, and or organizations have no rights under the Constitution under any circumstances.  That's the law.  And if the United States is going to be known for anything in this world it must be known for a nation of laws because if we in fact are not going to be known for a nation of laws and who will be known for a nation of rabid dogs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As President John F. Kennedy once said, a nation who cannot secure the interests of the many who are poor.  And not protect the interests of the few who are wealthy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like I said I'm dying and that's pretty much how my life is going and I'm reconciled to that.  Only I will not die in the city of Cleveland they're not and have me here because I'm not going to give them the opportunity to continue to mistreat me and abuse me the way they have in the past.  I will leave the city and go somewhere else to wear my friends invited me to another place in this country or I will then make peace with my soul and God and then die quietly.  But these journals are not about me these are about you, these journals are for you.  You deserve better as I said with your families and your children and your loved ones you deserve better.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stand up and declare your rights before God and before this country and demand that these politicians stop stealing our money and give us the medical care.  We deserve there is no reason for this story to have happened.  The medical community could have saved this person's life and they chose not to because they wanted be expedient and lackadaisical and that's all there is to it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And how many more tragedies will happen over the next 24 hours because Republican Party and the medical system is going to choose to be expedient and ignorant and neglectful to the mentally ill, because it's the easy thing to do.  As I've always said.  When you see someone who's fallen along the side of the road, the easy thing to do is to turn your head and not look at them and continue walking.  Everyone does that.  The hard thing to do is to stop turn your head look at them.  Open your heart, your head and your hand cart head and hand, and then offer them some assistance some help.  Some compassion.  That's the hard thing to do is the one thing that we don't do very well in this country anymore.  There's so much hatred coming from so many different groups, mostly Christian, about how much they hate in this country.  They hate gays, they hate Jews, they hate Muslims they hate liberals they hate Democrats the list of what they hate is on ending.  That's not America, ladies and gentlemen, America is the land of the free and the home of the brave one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, not just the Christians or the Republicans.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I said.  Stand up and demand better.  You deserve better.  You don't deserve to be treated this way.  I've been abused by the medical system now for 50 years, don't let what is happening to me happen to you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You deserve better...</p>
<p>(special note) I use a speech program because my hands hardly work anymore. Pleae forgive me the many typos in this article and the other articles that I compose. I am also legally blind in my right eye, and I have lived with constant phsyical and psychological pain now for  50 years. So, while I endeavor to do my best, when i do use my hands I become very tired and in great pain for many hours. So I seldom use my hands for anything anymore. As I said, please forgive me for the typos... I am truly trying, with all of my heart and soul, to reach my highest good here... for you... and for your families and your children...</p>
<p>Happy Trails... Godspeed... Pay It Forward...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kathrynsjourney.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/j0227558.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13" src="http://kathrynsjourney.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/j0227558.jpg?w=244" alt="" width="244" height="300" /></a>I sit here on July 4th, Independence Day, contemplating the significance of the day, and how my independence and my rights fit into the struggle of our countries founders to gain independence and broader rights. This year has been filled with many significant events. We continue to battle for an inclusive ENDA all the while the fight at state and local levels continues as well. I think we have probably seen that in many instances, gaining rights on the local level is often easier than gaining them on the Federal level. Colorado passed legislation protecting rights based on gender identity, despite some pretty offensive ads that were aired. I believe that it is these local victories that will pave the way for broader victories in the future. </p>
<p>The LGBTQ community scored a major victory this year with the court ruling in California which extended the right to marry to all people, regardless of sex. We now have two states out of fifty that allow marriage equality. Two down, 48 to go. It may seem like a lot of work ahead, and it is, but I think one only needs to look at the increasing pace at which legislation is being passed to protect people on the basis of gender identity on the state and local levels. </p>
<p>IN 1975, Minneapolis passed the first even legislation that protected the transgender community. This was unheard of at the time. During that decade, two other municipalities took similar action, Los Angeles, CA and Urbana, IL. I never heard of Urbana, IL, yet they were way ahead of the rest of the country in their crafting of legislation in the 1970's. We saw things slow down for a while, with only two similar laws being enacted in the 1980's, and the 90's got off to a slow start with only 5 such laws being enacted during the fist half of the decade. </p>
<p>On July 4th, 1996, In Houston, TX, not exactly the most LGBT friendly state(I do live in Texas by the way and have found acceptance when I live), the International Bill of Gender Rights was adopted at the 6th and final conference of the International Conference on Transgender Law and Employment Policy(ICTLEP). In the years that followed, we saw and dramatic increase in the number of states and municipalities passing gender identity protections. The following two years saw the passage of more legislation than the previous two decades. Since the year 2000 ,we have seen over approximately 80 such laws or ordinances being passed. Talk about acceleration.</p>
<p>As we have gained rights, congress has finally taken notice. ENDA was initially set to go before congress with protections for gender identity, we all know what happened there, thanks in no small part to our friends at HRC. The ensuing uproar over the issue has had a ripple affect. People throughout the LGBTQ community have stood up and said that they are not going to leave us behind. Lesbian, Gay, and Bi allies are showing their support through actions such as boycotting HRC events, and organization that was founded to support the rights of the LGB community, and probably had a significant impact on the rights that they now enjoy. But, the outrage has been so strong, that they are willing to turn their back on this organization, and stand next to us as we fight to be included in employment non-discrimination legislation.</p>
<p>We have had the first ever hearing on transgender issues and employment discrimination before a house subcommittee. I think most of us thought that day would be years or decades away after the ENDA events. But, our voices have been heard. We are gaining recognition. We may be a small community, but we are a vocal community, we are a community with allies and support, and we are a community that will not rest until we have equal rights. We are not asking for special rights. We are only asking for the rights that every cisgender American has, the rights to job, housing, education, health care, insurance, and the right to the American dream. </p>
<p>Below I have included the text of the text of the International Bill of Gender Rights. I think that the rights enumerated in the IBGR will one day be ours. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but if we continue to educate and enlighten, and we continue to fight, we can attain the rights the we should not have had to give up when we chose transition over death. No other Americans have to give up rights when they choose life over death, why should we?</p>

<h1>The International Bill of Gender Rights.</h1>
<h3>(As adopted June 17, 1995 Houston, Texas, USA)</h3>
<p>"The International Bill of Gender Rights (IBGR) strives to express human and civil rights from a gender perspective.

<p>With all due respect anyone who believes this scientist, where he says, "global warming" is really "global disruption",  is probably is too stupid for anyone to really have a conversation with.  The fact of the matter is we are looking at global warming, regardless of how this scientist is  being pushed politically,  and/or induced by various social groups to postulate what he is presenting in such a way as to play semantics with the entire issue. </p>
<p>The fact of the matter is, you can call what is happening,  global disruption,  or you can call it a walk in the park.  But the reality is basically this.  The climate is on the verge of total collapse.  And whether this scientist, who I do not regard is very intelligent, wants to admit it or not, global warming and the total collapse of the earth ecosystem,  will still happen.  Besides, long before this scientist knew what he claims to have known, or knows, or even knew what the term of global warming was, I was at Fort Lewis College,  in 1972,  in  Alexander Coe's philosophy class, in Durango Colorado, presenting this very issue about global warming being a real threat to humanity.  It was scientists, and my peers, just like this gentleman, who found it so easy to laugh at me and call me a fool.  Unfortunately, most of the people , and this scientist, who laughed at me then are NOT laughing NOW.</p>
<p>Further,  people like this scientist, and others, won't be laughing in about another five years when more very dangerous things begin to happen, along the lines of  what he calls global disruption, which is really what I have been saying for the last 40 years... and calling Global Warming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I said anyone who believes this gentleman about this being global disruption is probably going to be to stupid for anyone to really have a conversation with.  And as I said, this gentleman is talking this way because he is politically motivated, and/or socially motivated, and/or religiously motivated.  As far as I'm concerned, I don't have any time for people like this if you want to go ahead and stick your head in the sand and be an ostrich, and to pretend none of this is happening... go right ahead and do that.  And all the while you are doing that, global warming Will still be taking effect, just as I have predicted over 40 years ago.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And by the way, I'll match my data against this gentleman's data any day of the week. He can bring his slide rule and I'll bring mine! But, no matter what, the fact remains, that  he is misrepresenting the entire matter to the general public, and he's doing it based on some other agenda that he is not willing to disclose at this time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I refuse to be taken in by such filthy lies regarding the climate change that is happening here on earth.  For anyone who chooses to believe this gentleman's assessment regarding the climate activity here on earth.  You will probably end up deserving exactly what you get.  The fact of the matter is we have electromagnetic field disruption taking place.  We have a number of other factors that are breaking down.  We have all sorts of different situations going on all over the planet that are not global disruptions.  They are in fact, global warming and for this gentleman to sit there and claim that he's a scientist and say that all of this simply global disruption is not only reprehensible, it's scientifically irresponsible. Furthermore, it is very inhumane as well.  He's basically trying to stand there and tell everyone not to worry while the entire dam is breaking.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have nothing to lose by sitting back and waiting.  I know my figures are correct.  I know what I've seen is correct.  I know that what I've been saying for the last 40 years is 100% correct.  I don't need to justify anything to this scientist,  who I believe is completely stupid, not to mention arrogant, and someone who appears to be a publicity hound. I don't need to justify anything to him or his friends, who are basically politically, and/or religiously, and/or socially motivated, as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The people who definitely do understand global warming will simply look at this scientist and see him as nothing more than a liar and someone who is basically playing semantics with a very serious human issue.  And I would hazard to say that this scientist is probably Christian and probably has some degree of Christian orientation, and/or other political, or cultural agenda that he is not willing to disclose at this time. One can only wonder what that is.</p>
