Communism Murdered 100 Million Fellow Humans…Never Forget!

2012/05/13 –

Best not forget that communism murdered people in numbers that would make a Nazi envious…Communists are amongst us! Why we allow that to happen is beyond me.

"The Future Did Not Work" (March 2000)
"Though communism in its classic form may be extinct, we sometimes seem to be fighting it almost as fiercely today as we did when it threatened us." By J. Arch Getty
The Atlantic Monthly | December 2003
The Agenda


The Forgotten Millions

Communism is the deadliest fantasy in human history (but does anyone care?)
by Jonathan Rauch
…..

n January of this year the late Michael Kelly, who was a Washington Post columnist as well as the editor-at-large of this magazine, decried in the Post the fact that antiwar marches in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco were sponsored by an organization, called International ANSWER, that is "a front group for the communist Workers World Party," which is, "literally, a Stalinist organization." As he was sometimes known to do, Kelly worked up a bit of dudgeon: "The left marches with those who would maintain in power the leading oppressors of humanity in the world."
Shortly afterward the columnist and essayist Katha Pollitt, writing in The Nation, advised him to calm down. "Kelly really should get out of the house more," she said. If he had attended the Washington march, as she did, he would have seen what a diverse and positive affair it was. She conceded that ANSWER was a "weird pseudomarxist sect," and she acknowledged its "off-key Stalinism and refusal to condemn Saddam Hussein," but she argued against taking any of that too seriously.

It always seemed to me that ANSWER spoke only for itself, that not many people were listening, and that if war was an unpopular plan, the movement against it would grow way beyond the capacity of ANSWER to control it or lead it. In fact, ANSWER may have unintentionally spurred the rest of us to get busy and come up with alternatives like United for Peace and Justice or the Campaign for Peace and Democracy.

Let me ask you, please, to go back and reread that paragraph, but this time make one change throughout: substitute the words "the American Nazi Party" for ANSWER. Or, if you prefer, substitute "the KKK." Notice how utterly out of place the author’s insouciance suddenly seems. It is inconceivable that any self-respecting American intellectual would call a march sponsored by Nazis or Klansmen a worthy event. Yet when it comes to communists—well, what’s the big deal?
Around the time of the Kelly-Pollitt exchange I attended a lecture in Washington that I can only describe as a consciousness-raising. It was given by Alan Charles Kors, a historian (of European intellectual history) at the University of Pennsylvania. For some years I’ve admired Kors’s work opposing speech codes on university campuses, so I was drawn more by the speaker than by the subject—"Can there be an ‘after socialism’?" I left feeling chastened.
Kors said this: "The West accepts an epochal, monstrous, unforgivable double standard. We rehearse the crimes of Nazism almost daily; we teach them to our children as ultimate historical and moral lessons; and we bear witness to every victim. We are, with so few exceptions, almost silent on the crimes of communism. So the bodies lie among us, unnoticed, everywhere." And so many bodies! Not six million but 60 million, or 100 million—in any case scores and scores of millions. Too many ever to number.
In her recent book, Gulag: A History, Anne Applebaum notes that Russia has no national museum or monument or place of mourning devoted to the crimes of communism. There have been "no public truth-telling sessions in Russia, no parliamentary hearings, no official investigations of any kind into the murders or the massacres or the camps of the USSR." In December of 2001, ten years after the Soviet Union dissolved, "thirteen of the fifteen former Soviet republics were run by former communists, as were many of the former satellite states."
Hoping to do better, in 1993 Congress and President Bill Clinton authorized the construction, on public land but with private funds, of a national memorial to honor the victims of communism. The act cited "the deaths of over 100,000,000 victims in an unprecedented imperial communist holocaust," and resolved that "the sacrifices of these victims should be permanently memorialized so that never again will nations and peoples allow so evil a tyranny to terrorize the world." The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation then set out to raise $100 million, or a dollar per victim. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum cost $168 million, so $100 million seemed reasonable.
Ten years later the project has scaled back its target to $450,000, which the foundation’s president and CEO—a retired diplomat and consultant named Jay Katzen, himself working without pay—told me he expects to have raised by the end of this year. That will cover a memorial near (not on) the National Mall, in Washington, and an online museum. Original plans had called for a bricks-and-mortar museum and archive, but they will have to wait. "For a lot of people," Katzen said, "this does not have the immediacy, the sensitivity, that the Holocaust, for good reasons, has."
Well, the Holocaust museum was not dedicated until almost fifty years after the Holocaust. Perhaps these things take time. Perhaps communism is still too close to be seen in perspective. Perhaps this and perhaps that. The fact remains: communism, not Nazism or racism or whatever other ism you please, is the deadliest fantasy in human history, and even Americans, for all our struggles against it, have not yet looked it full in the face.
The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has a Web site, for those who are interested in learning or help-ing (www.victimsofcommunism.org). There are, I think, at least three reasons to hope that the project succeeds. A memorial in Washington would honor the dead. It would commemorate the longest and possibly the hardest geo-political struggle that the United States has ever undertaken. Not least, it might bring closer the time when activists will be ashamed to march under communist sponsorship, and when writers will be ashamed to make excuses for them.

House GOP Competition Promotes Use of New Media

05/10/12

Over the past three weeks, my office has been competing in the 2012 House GOP New Media Challenge.  After a qualifying round to place contestants into NCAA style brackets, I’ve faced off against a different member of Congress each week in Facebook, Twitter, and now, YouTube rounds.

The competition, now it its third year, promotes the use of new media among members and their constituents. The House Republican Conference sponsors the competition and Vice Chairwoman Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ office oversees it.  She says that in the past three years they have hosted the challenge, overall new media use by members of the GOP conference has increased from 30 percent of House Republicans on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to 85 percent.
In addition to the competition promoting the use of social media (specifically Facebook, Twitter and YouTube), the competition encourages and highlights innovative and creative approaches using other forms of new media, such as websites, e-newsletters and blogs.

I’ve made the use of new media a priority since the day I took office.  It not only allows me the opportunity to connect with constituents where they are, whether on laptop, tablet or mobile phone, but it allows constituents to share their thoughts and concerns with me.

Thanks to constituents who engage regularly on my social media networks, and to some very generous and helpful friends in the right blogosphere, I have advanced to the “Sweet Sixteen” round of the competition. The goal of this week’s YouTube round is to add as many subscribers as possible to our official YouTube accounts.

Join the fun and support your favorite member of Congress online – whether they are still in the competition or not.  But first, please subscribe to my YouTube channel today and be sure to visit me on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, as well.

The Rule Of Law And What To Expect When “Rat Bastards” Are In Charge…

2012/05/07 –

Ann Barnhardt explains some things to those of us who refuse to believe our own eyes. The snippet below nails it on the head and is in a similar vein as several other posts I have made in the last few days. All of us in the United States are being betrayed by our confirmation bias which leads us to believe that things are as they have always been and that the rule of law still exists. We also have this belief that our country could never become like those other 20th century nightmares, Germany, Japan, Russia, China and other smaller countries. We forget that some of those countries absolutely defined civilization and they went away to be replaced by horror. Certainly those 11 million people the Nazi Regime murdered fully expected that they were only taking showers after all it was far too barbaric to consider the reality. Confirmation bias led them to sleep walk to their graves. Anne is here to wake you up.

This all gets back to the historical illiteracy of this culture, thanks largely to the Marxist infiltration of the education system. You people honestly have NO FATHOM what happened in Nazi Germany, Eastern Europe, and the Soviet Union, do you? When Marxist oligarchs are your "government" there is NO RULE OF LAW. It doesn’t MATTER what you, or the old just legal system say you own. When jackbooted thugs come to take you away, there is no "law" to turn to, because the jackbooted thugs ARE "the law", meaning that there is no law at all except brute force and the willingness to use it. When the Soviets came to round up the Ukrainian farmers in 1933, why didn’t the Ukrainians just call the police? Why didn’t they produce the deeds to their homes and order the Soviets off their property? Why didn’t they SUE for violating their civil rights? And the same with the Jews in Poland? And the same with the Chinese peasants under Mao? Barnhardt.biz – Commodity Brokerage

Unemployment statistics are bullshit, deep, wide, fast, moving bullshit from the propaganda arm of what Ann calls the Rat Bastards of the Obama administration.

Once again, just making sure everyone understands the sickening farce that is the "unemployment figure." I said last year that the reported "unemployment number" would be UNDER EIGHT PERCENT no matter what in Q4 2012. Sure enough, it appears that I will be proven exactly right. Is this because unemployment is going down? HELLZ NO! Real unemployment is climbing consistently, and is probably north of 20%.

The entire Obama regime propaganda on unemployment is driven by the fact that they keep REDUCING THE SIZE OF THE WORKFORCE. People can only collect unemployment benefits for 99 weeks. As soon as a person goes beyond 99 weeks, the Obama regime declares that person as NO LONGER IN THE WORKFORCE. There are people who have been unemployed for over two years who would work if they could find anything, but the rat bastards in the Obama regime and their propaganda arm, the media, just evaporate these people from existence, and they additionally reduce the size of the labor force arbitrarily, just so they can hit whatever predetermined number Valerie Jarret, David Axelrod, Timmy Geithner and Ben Bernanke decide it is going to be. This is what they are doing on every single unemployment report. It is all as fake as a Thai Rolex. Eventually, the Obama regime will go full-Marxist stupid, drop the labor force to 52 million and declare that Great Leader Obama has delivered a FULL EMPLOYMENT ECONOMY. And anyone who dares disagree will be shot in the back of the head with one of those 450 million rounds of .40 cal that the Obama regime just ordered.

Any questions? Here is a graph that will make you smile…or not. Btw who are these people who can simply stop working? These people who are apparently frustrated and according to the government simply stop working…? How is that done?

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves…

2012/05/04 –

Two white reporters are viciously attacked by a large crowd of black thugs/youth. Both the man and woman injured. Not one single media outlet thinks it might be a good idea to report this attack. Not even the local newspaper they both worked for…white reporter wonders why.

Sharpton and Jackson unavailable for comment on this newest attempt to improve relations. Obama, sources say, claims that the boyfriend acted stupidly by getting out of the car to discuss the matter of a rock thrown through his windshield by innocent youths, who according to Obama, look like what his son would have looked like if he had one. Obama went on to say that Attorney General Holder would be looking into any violations of the youths civil rights…several reportedly broke their knuckles on the girlfriends face and this is clearly grounds for an investigation against the couple for hurting the youths who look like what Obama’s son would have looked like…

The victim’s friend, a young woman, tried to pull him back into his car. Attackers came after her, pulling her hair, punching her head and causing a bloody scratch to the surface of her eye. She called 911. A recording told her all lines were busy. She called again. Busy. On her third try, she got through and, hysterical, could scream only their location.

Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton. Church and Brambleton.

It happened four blocks from where they work, here at The Virginian-Pilot.

Two weeks have passed since reporters Dave Forster and Marjon Rostami – friends to me and many others at the newspaper – were attacked on a Saturday night as they drove home from a show at the Attucks Theatre. They had stopped at a red light, in a crowd of at least 100 young people walking on the sidewalk. Rostami locked her car door. Someone threw a rock at her window. Forster got out to confront the rock-thrower, and that’s when the beating began. A beating at Church and Brambleton | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com#comments

So then you might ask, unless of course you are Obama or Attorney General Holder, why didn’t the local paper do a story on this blatantly racist attack on these two reporters? And please don’t tell me that this story isn’t newsworthy. Just switch the races of the victims (two reporters who are white in case you are hopelessly confused) and the attackers (innocent youths who are black and look like Obama’s son if he had one).

Barack Obama ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin’2a2a32

The next day, Forster searched Twitter for mention of the attack.

One post chilled him.

“I feel for the white man who got beat up at the light,” wrote one person.

“I don’t,” wrote another, indicating laughter. “(do it for trayvon martin)”

Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen, died after being shot by a community watch captain with white and Hispanic parents, George Zimmerman, in Florida.

Forster and Rostami, both white, suffered a beating at the hands of a crowd of black teenagers.

Was either case racially motivated? Were Forster and Rostami beaten in some kind of warped, vigilante retribution for a killing 750 miles away, a person none of them knew? Was it just bombast? Is a beating funny, ever?

Here’s why their story is in the paper today. We cannot allow such callousness to continue unremarked, from the irrational, senseless teenagers who attacked two people just trying to go home, from the police officer whose conduct may have been typical but certainly seems cold, from the tweeting nitwits who think beating a man in Norfolk will change the death of Trayvon Martin.

How can we change it if we don’t know about it? How can we make it better if we look away?

Are we really no better than this?

Gee why didn’t this get any press? Maybe the fact that this guy runs the paper the two reporters who were beaten work for and that he is nominated to be a bigwig in the Obama administration? Exactly how would this all play out if he had made a big stink about it? Would he lose any chance of joining the rest of the gang busily destroying this country…err I mean Obama’s administration.

President Barack Obama intends to nominate Maurice Jones, the publisher of The Virginian-Pilot, as deputy secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the White House announced Friday.

Jones, 47, has been publisher of The Pilot since April 2008.

These are dangerous times we live in…careful out there. Condition Yellow is the minimum condition you should be in and condition Orange is not uncalled for if you live in an area where clowns are allowed to roam free beating folks up. That includes a lot more areas than you might care to admit to yourself. Finally if you are surrounded by a group of thugs, and they only attack in groups, that isn’t the time to get out of the car or man up to them. Always remember that getting back home to protect your family is job one. This is going to get a whole bunch worse before it gets better…your family needs you more than you need your pride.

Obama’s Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives…What Me Worry?

2012/05/04 –

Why would anyone worry about Obama being a totalitarian? Well, when Forbes starts worrying maybe us crazy people who have been worrying all along aren’t as crazy anymore as some may have thought. I warned of this Marxist character from the beginning…here, here and here. The only thing that makes me slightly happy is that folks like Obama tend to eat supporters first. The depressing part is that those clowns who supported him will still be singing his praises when we all join them in the Gulag and that will be irritating as hell.

President Obama has made clear that he’s determined to continue pushing his “progressive” agenda, regardless of constitutional limitations on his power.  He aims to have his way by issuing more and more executive orders.

The most ominous sign of possible things to come appeared on March 16, 2012, when President Obama signed executive order 13603 about “National Defense Resources Preparedness.”This 10-page document is a blueprint for a federal takeover of the economy that would dwarf the looming Obamacare takeover of the health insurance business.  Specifically, Obama’s plan involves seizing control of:

  • “All commodities and products that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals”
  • “All forms of energy”
  • “All forms of civil transportation”
  • “All usable water from all sources”
  • “Health resources –  drugs, biological products, medical devices, materials, facilities, health supplies, services and equipment”
  • Forced labor or “induction” as the executive order delicately refers to military conscription
    via Obamas Plan To Seize Control Of Our Economy And Our Lives – Forbes.

Farther down he goes on to say:

As all this experience suggests, executive orders make it easy for presidents to consolidate more power and difficult for anyone to stop them.  People acquiesce with the hope that a president will do good, but if he or she does harm – remember, there’s no reliable way of keeping bad or incompetent people out of power – then Americans will find themselves in a very bad place.

Hopefully, President Obama will never try to implement his executive order 13603 – the plan for seizing control of our economy and our lives.  But the plan is ready-to-go, awaiting the right moment.  One morning, Americans could wake up to the news that suddenly Obama is activating the plan because of cyber sabotage, a terrorist incident, a crisis in nuclear Pakistan, a war with Iran or some other state of emergency, perhaps the state of emergency he extended last year.  Or perhaps the president might simply decide that to win the fall election he needs an “October surprise.”

Critical Lesson Regarding Survival…Recognizing Danger!

2012/05/03 –

This one paragraph is critical to your survival. Confirmation bias keeps us thinking that everything is ok…right up till we are wounded or worse.

First time when a gang came in some bigger numbers, in some form of attack I think harder thing for us was to realize fact that they have bad intentions I mean that they want to hurt us or kill us, after that fear took place, and that fear moved us to defend and to fight. via The different faces of fear SHTF School.

Your first skill has to be the skill that is the most unpopular skill in the world. You must develop the fine art of discrimination. You must be able to discriminate between those who mean to hurt you and those who don’t. But following on that skill, close on the heels of that skill, is the skill of recognizing danger when it approaches. Yes it can happen to you and the sooner you identify that you are becoming a victim the more options you have to defeat the threat. Defeating the threat includes simply escaping.

Being a hero is a bad way to help your family unless protecting them absolutely demands you make a stand. Making a stand for principals and depriving your family of your value as a member because you were shot by a group of teens you could have escaped is dumb. Only make last stands when it is either that or your family is attacked. Then fight like a tiger and “When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

85% of Physicians Do Not Belong To The Obamacare Supporting Rabble Collection of Fools Called the AMA.

2012/05/01 –

Eye opening article that goes a long way to explaining why our healthcare system is declining in quality and rising in expense…The Government.

While polls indicate the vast majority of America’s medical doctors remain staunchly opposed to ObamaCare a large and growing number have now begun to rise up in dissent of the government mandated law.   In an unprecedented move a coalition of medical organizations are scheduled to convene the weekend of May 5-6 in San Diego, CA to create the nation’s first  ever consensus-based, healthcare reform blueprint based upon the input of the majority of medical industry professionals.  Or as conference organizer Dr. Adam Dorin puts it, “a bottom up approach to healthcare reform not a top down approach like we currently have.”

Dr. Jane Orient, the Executive Director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons explains why it is that doctors now feel the need to be proactive, “Physicians can’t wait around for Congress to ‘fix’ the damage politicians have done to American medicine. At least 40% of the money poured into the system buys no actual care for patients but is bled off by the third-party payment system. Patients and physicians must take back control. Most medical transactions have no need of a bureaucrat overseer, either from government or the managed-care system.” Physicians Mobilize for Reform Alternative to AMA-backed ObamaCare

U.S Department of Homeland Security…Doing What The “Crazies” Warned Us About ooops.

2012/04/27 –

Back in the days of 9/11 some lone voices in the Wilderness, not me, said that we ought to be careful of establishing another Arm of the Government with sort of power DHS had… Well we have a crazy son of a bitch in office and sure enough he is using DHS to go after everyone.

Environmental Justice Strategy February 2012

VISION STATEMENT

“Environmental justice” describes the commitment of the Federal Government, through its policies, programs, and activities, to avoid placing disproportionately high and adverse effects on the human health and environment of minority or low-income populations. As described in the 2010 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR), our Nation’s vision of homeland security is a homeland safe and secure, resilient against terrorism and other hazards, and where American interests and aspirations and the American way of life can thrive. In seeking to fulfill this vision, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) aspires to avoid burdening minority and low-income populations with a disproportionate share of any adverse human health or environmental risks associated with our efforts to secure the Nation. DHS joins with other departments and agencies to appropriately include environmental justice practices in our larger mission efforts involving federal law enforcement and emergency response activities.

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Overview  DHS’ ability to affect environmental justice arises principally through environmental review of the impact of our own operations, financial assistance to state, local and tribal governments, and through regulatory permitting activities. Recognizing that the incorporation of environmental justice policies may be highly variable across parts of the Department depending on a component’s mission, this Environmental Justice Strategy is intended to promote a comprehensive, consistent and adaptive strategy among our components.

In August 2011, DHS joined a Memorandum of Understanding on Environmental Justice (EJ MOU) to participate in government-wide environmental justice efforts, consistent with DHS’ own authorities and missions, and is a “Participating Agency” in the Interagency Working Group on Environmental Justice, pursuant to section III.B of the EJ MOU.

In accordance with Executive Order 12898 and the EJ MOU, federal agencies, including DHS, agreed to fulfill the following commitments on Federal Agency Environmental Justice Strategies, Public Input, and Annual Reporting: Environmental Justice Strategy. This is the first DHS Environmental Justice Strategy. As a part of the development of this Strategy, DHS provided public access through posting a draft of the Strategy on its public website, provided an email address for the submission of public comments, provided a notice of the availability of the Strategy to stakeholders with an interest in DHS civil rights and civil liberties issues and posted a link to the draft Strategy on the Environmental Justice webpage of the Environmental Protection Agency’s public website Here Come the Green Police!

Children Doing Chores On Family Farms…Nah That Won’t Work Sez Obama Adminstration

2012/04/25 –

After all if we teach the young tykes the meaning of hard work how will they be proper little drones? These little guys and gals need to learn to suckle from the tit of Government not milk a cow!

The Department of Labor is poised to put the finishing touches on a rule that would apply child-labor laws to children working on family farms, prohibiting them from performing a list of jobs on their own families’ land.Under the rules, children under 18 could no longer work “in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials.”“Prohibited places of employment,” a Department press release read, “would include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.

The Expanding Flash Mob Threat…Are You In Condition Yellow? Why Not?

2012/04/24 –

From Jeff Cooper:

  • White: Unaware and unprepared. If attacked in Condition White, the only thing that may save you is the inadequacy or ineptitude of your attacker. When confronted by something nasty, your reaction will probably be “Oh my God! This can’t be happening to me.”
  • Yellow: Relaxed alert. No specific threat situation. Your mindset is that “today could be the day I may have to defend myself”. You are simply aware that the world is a potentially unfriendly place and that you are prepared to defend yourself, if necessary. You use your eyes and ears, and realize that “I may have to shoot today”. You don’t have to be armed in this state, but if you are armed you should be in Condition Yellow. You should always be in Yellow whenever you are in unfamiliar surroundings or among people you don’t know. You can remain in Yellow for long periods, as long as you are able to “Watch your six.” (In aviation 12 o’clock refers to the direction in front of the aircraft’s nose. Six o’clock is the blind spot behind the pilot.) In Yellow, you are “taking in” surrounding information in a relaxed but alert manner, like a continuous 360 degree radar sweep. As Cooper put it, “I might have to shoot.”
  • Orange: Specific alert. Something is not quite right and has your attention. Your radar has picked up a specific alert. You shift your primary focus to determine if there is a threat (but you do not drop your six). Your mindset shifts to “I may have to shoot that person today”, focusing on the specific target which has caused the escalation in alert status. In Condition Orange, you set a mental trigger: “If that person does “X”, I will need to stop them”. Your pistol usually remains holstered in this state. Staying in Orange can be a bit of a mental strain, but you can stay in it for as long as you need to. If the threat proves to be nothing, you shift back to Condition Yellow.
  • Red: Condition Red is fight. Your mental trigger (established back in Condition Orange) has been tripped. “If ‘X’ happens I will shoot that person”.

When it comes to personal security most of us live in Condition White most of our lives. In Condition White before you understand the threat, it is upon you. We live there because for most of our lives, in most of the United States, you could get away with it. It wasn’t dangerous. Well that is starting to change.

JWR,Last Easter weekend, a twitter message went out and in a few hours 20,000 people descended on Surfside Beach, Texas, population about 600. My LEO contacts tell me there were only six officers available. The crowd turned sour towards the locals who did not want them parking or defecating in their yards.Several residents had to stand on their front porches with weapons displayed to keep groups of hundreds from passing through their property. Several rental beach houses were broken into and one contact said the volume of human feces and trash was unbelievable. The roads were impassable for hours, trapping the residents who may have wanted to evacuate.

via Letter Re: The Expanding Flash Mob Threat – SurvivalBlog.com.

Here is the Associated News that confirms that this was basically a “flash mob” event. Imagine that you are at this beach with your wife and children blissfully unaware, in Condition White, and 20,000 hooligans descend upon you and you don’t notice it until your children are terrified. What do you do now?

Start being aware of your surroundings, we do not have the luxury of being blissfully unaware any longer. The hordes have been allowed into the castle walls…they are aching for a fight. Before we give them that fight we have to survive until the rest of us wake up to the threat.

Report: 1 dead, 3 wounded in Texas beach shooting Published April 08, 2012 Associated Press

SURFSIDE BEACH, TEXAS –  Authorities say one person has been killed and three others wounded in a shooting during a packed beach party on the Texas Gulf Coast. Brazoria County Sheriff Charles Wagner told The Facts newspaper that he had no immediate identification of those involved in the shooting at Surfside Beach and no immediate arrests had been made. Wagner says the circumstances were unclear. The Facts said word of mouth about an unauthorized beach party spread on social media, drawing thousands to Surfside Beach, about 40 miles south of Galveston. Surfside Beach officials told The Facts that the party was not permitted nor authorized. The Facts quoted a witness as saying the party began peacefully, but fights broke out and there was heavy drinking and also drug use.

Eventually we will have to take back our world and make it civilized again, till then Condition Yellow it is.

Genetics of Food Intolerance or how to Cure Lactose Intolerance!

2012/04/19 –

Pretty big deal if true…great site.

Food intolerance is based on missing bacteria in the the gut rather than inadequacy of human enzymes, e.g. lactase, or altered immune system.
I make the extreme statement that food intolerance is not genetic, to emphasize that the vast majority of intolerance can be cured by changing the bacterial composition of the gut’s microbiological community, the gut flora, rather than attempting to accommodate a permanent deficiency. The two common "intolerances" that are offered by my readers to invalidate my sweeping statement are lactose and gluten (celiac) intolerance.

Lactose Intolerance is Not Due to Inadequate Lactase
Everybody has the same gene for lactase, but some people have altered upstream control elements and continue to express lactase in their intestinal cells after infancy, whereas others don’t. The racial pattern of adult lactase expression is an interesting note on human evolution, but is irrelevant with respect to an individual’s ability to tolerate the lactose sugar in dairy products.

Lactose is the major sugar present in milk and the ability of the intestines to utilize lactose directly like glucose is a selective advantage for human evolution. Absent that ability, lactose would just pass through the gut without impact. However, bacteria in the colon also have lactose digesting enzymes. These bacteria produce hydrogen and methane gases, and these products in turn can feed other bacteria. If all of the products are consumed, then the lactose has been treated as a soluble fiber and the result is more gut bacteria and a happy gut. If some of the bacteria are missing, then the lactose acts as a laxative, e.g. lactulose, and the bowels are not so happy. Cooling Inflammation: Genetics of Food Intolerance

Appleseed – Lest We Forget – April 19, 1775

2012/04/19 –

Been to two Appleseed shoots…improved both times, but still a cook. Here is why it is important to remember this date in history. All governments, can when left unattended by disinterested citizens, can become tyrannical. When those governments do degrade into oppressive out of control monsters it is the duty of those governed to bring them back into line. No one else can or should, because no one else has as much self-interest as those under the oppression.

Here is the original article on my blog about my experiences.

Shooting the AQT at my first Appleseed on the second day.

Lest We Forget – April 19, 1775
It’s easy in the hustle and bustle of everyday life to forget things that are important – and one day in American history – you can argue it is THE most important day – should never be forgotten.
It’s the day our fellow Americans took up arms to win liberty for all of us.

April 19, 1775. A Wednesday, back then.
It’s hard for us moderns to understand how tough it was, or to understand the magnitude of what they did.
Contrary to the common, somewhat vague image of illiterate farmers caught up in the emotions of the moment and heading out to take potshots at the redcoats, the reality of it was far different.
In 1774 by order of the English Parliament the port of Boston was closed until damages for the Boston Tea Party were paid.

Closed, can you imagine it? The busiest port in the colonies, everyone out of work, people nearly starving. The city kept alive by donations of food from the other colonies.
And yet, Americans were determined not to pay those damages. So English troops arrived, as the British took over local government to ensure compliance.
By April 1775, tensions were high, with the King and Parliament pressuring British General Gage to take action.

On the night of April 18, 1775 – a Tuesday – Gage dispatched ten companies of Light Infantry and Grenadiers on a rapid expedition to Concord to ferret out military stockpiles he suspected were there.
The ‘embattled farmers’ found out beforehand, and took action. Paul Revere rode, and he did not ride randomly. Every house at which he stopped saw another rider taking off in a different direction to sound the alarm.
By dawn, as the British redcoat column was approaching Lexington (five miles short of Concord), historians have estimated 14,000 Americans were converging on them from miles around.
Not a cell phone among them. Not one on the internet. Not even a single telephone.
Yet in a few hours, 14,000 trained men were marching through the night.
Think you, with your cell phone and email, could do it today?

Even now, it’d a remarkable accomplishment – doubtless impossible to repeat today. To get that many people turned out, on short notice, in the middle of the night.
Maybe they cared about freedom, do you think?

It almost makes you wonder: do you think we care as much about freedom, today? Enough to get out of the bed in the middle of the night, and fast-march 15, 18, or 20 miles to face British lead and steel? With a single-shot, muzzle-loading musket?

Maybe you begin to understand the magnitude of the debt we owe the Founders.
It sure looks, from the perspective of the 21st century, like a mighty accomplishment, something we couldn’t do again, today.
But they did it. They did not draw back. They did not shirk. They did not shrink from the call.
And for that, we – each of us – owe them thanks.

By now, we all know the story of Capt. John Parker and his 77 militiamen who stood waiting on Lexington Green. If he indeed said "If they mean to have a war, let them have it here!" he said inspiring words.
But the historical facts are that the British fired a sudden volley, killing 8 Americans and wounding another 8 (a twenty-percent casualty rate), whereas the few shots our boys got off in return nicked the leg of a redcoat private and grazed a horse. Considering the American marksmanship displayed later throughout the day, it suggests the British actually surprised them – and indeed some thought the Brits were firing blanks to scare them, until the first musket balls whistled by.

Oddly enough, the encounter at Lexington did not start the War.
Nor did the later encounter at the North Bridge.

The North Bridge at Concord is an example of the ‘fog of war’ – the colonists, uncertain of what happened at Lexington, retreated before the Brits as they approached Concord, eventually winding up north of the river at their militia training ground on Punkatasset Hill. This allowed the Brits to occupy and search the town, recovering items that looked ‘military’, which they piled up and set on fire. It was the sight of the column of smoke above the trees that alarmed our guys – as one said – "are we going to stand by idly, while they burn our houses?" – setting the stage for the march to the North Bridge, where they were fired upon by three British companies posted there. To the cry of "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God’s sake, fire! – fire as fast as you can!" their training and practice in marksmanship broke the British, who fled to Concord. And the militia crossed the North Bridge.

It was a remarkable moment in American history. That April morning was the first time Americans were ordered to fire on British troops. And the first time they killed the King’s soldiers.
Even now, the War did not break out. The American militia, having defended itself successfully after being fired upon, and maybe realizing what they had done by firing on the King’s troops – it must be a terrific blow to rise out of bed a citizen and have the sun set on you as a traitor – took up positions behind a nearby wall.

Time was rapidly approaching noon, and the British began a hasty retreat back toward Boston – and Lexington. Just outside Concord, as the end of the column was crossing a bridge at a place called Merriam’s Corner (where the road made a sharp turn), the British rear guard turned and fired a volley at Americans following them. At that, militia units concealed on the north side of the road opened fire on the red-clad column to protect and support their brethren. At that point, it became a shooting war, and the 18-mile road back to Boston taken by the redcoats has ever since been known as Battle Road.
Did the boys from Lexington get a second chance? You bet.

Did the British nearly get caught in a trap? You bet.

Was it a ‘close-run’ thing for General Gage’s men? You bet.

If to forget is to show disrespect, let’s not forget what they did that day.

It has truly been said that April 19, 1775 was "the Day Marksmanship met History, and Liberty was born".

Don’t let the memory of their deeds be forgotten. Read this to your kids – or let them read it for themselves.

The founders knew the price they paid for liberty. They hoped their posterity would remember that price, and never let liberty go.
In fact, John Adams, our second president, left us a message. I paraphrase: "Posterity, you will never know the price my generation paid for your freedom…
"If you ever forget – if you ever forget – we’ll be sorry we ever made the effort."
Have Americans forgot?
I hope not.

Go to the library. There you’ll find books devoted to that first day of the American Revolution. The first day in history where a people stood up to tyranny and won their freedom on the battlefield. You’ll read how close we came to capturing the entire British column. You’ll read how propaganda was effectively used by American liberty-lovers to advance the cause of Liberty.
You’ll read about a day of contrasts – the elation of victory, the mourning for dead and wounded comrades, the exhaustion of battle, the misery of burning homes and lost relatives, of temporary graves by the roadside, of whole towns in flight.

It all happened. It was real. It was the beginning of the liberty you inherited, which you hardly think about, the liberty you so take for granted.
Those guys who didn’t take it for granted, who fought for liberty, who turned out to the sound of midnight alarm bells – they deserve better than that.
Take a minute, and think about them this April 19.

April 19th, the day the Founders took on the world’s mightiest army – with muzzle-loading firearms.
They did it for you.

To remember them, is the least we can do. To remember them, is to honor them. It is little enough to ask…

Intel Chairman Mike Rogers Gets Right to the Point on Afghanistan – Jeffrey Goldberg – International – The Atlantic

2012/04/17 –

We have a problem in Afghanistan…we have good people who depend on us but good people exist everywhere in the world. We cannot fight everyone’s battles. We also cannot allow barbarians to sweep all before them.

I do not have a solution.

I spent some time with Mike Rogers, the Michigan Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, last week, and he was refreshingly blunt on the muddle that is our Afghanistan policy. Here are a couple of his thoughts (you can read more here):

"The administration is talking about negotiating with the very people we’ve been trying to discredit for 10 years. We’ve been trying to gain the support of people who are scared to death of the Taliban, and now they’re scared to death that we’re trying to bring the Taliban back."

60 Fullerene Doubles Life Span of Test Animals…Say WHAT?

2012/04/17 –

Just saying…life is getting exciting while all the while our leaders try and sabotage the system that produces discoveries like this.

Abstract

Countless studies showed that [60]fullerene (C60) and derivatives could have many potential biomedical applications. However, while several independent research groups showed that C60 has no acute or sub-acute toxicity in various experimental models, more than 25 years after its discovery the in vivo fate and the chronic effects of this fullerene remain unknown. If the potential of C60 and derivatives in the biomedical field have to be fulfilled these issues must be addressed. Here we show that oral administration of C60 dissolved in olive oil (0.8 mg/ml) at reiterated doses (1.7 mg/kg of body weight) to rats not only does not entail chronic toxicity but it almost doubles their lifespan. The effects of C60-olive oil solutions in an experimental model of CCl4 intoxication in rat strongly suggest that the effect on lifespan is mainly due to the attenuation of age-associated increases in oxidative stress. Pharmacokinetic studies show that dissolved C60 is absorbed by the gastro-intestinal tract and eliminated in a few tens of hours. These results of importance in the fields of medicine and toxicology should open the way for the many possible -and waited for- biomedical applications of C60 including cancer therapy, neurodegenerative disorders, and ageing.

Just In Case You Feel Tough…Here Is A Definition!

2012/04/17 –

In awe of the courage and toughness and downright orneriness of Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez.

PROFILES

STAFF SGT. ROY BENAVIDEZ

On the morning of May 2, 1968, a 12-man Special Forces reconnaissance team was inserted by helicopters in a dense jungle west of Loc Ninh, Vietnam, to gather intelligence about confirmed large-scale enemy activity. Shortly after arriving, the team met heavy enemy resistance, and requested emergency extraction. Three helicopters attempted to extract them, but were unable to land due to intense small-arms and anti-aircraft fire.

Staff Sgt. Roy Benavidez was at the forward operating base in Loc Ninh, monitoring the operation by radio when the helicopters returned to off-load wounded crewmembers and to assess aircraft damage. Benavidez voluntarily boarded a returning aircraft to assist in another extraction attempt. Realizing that all the team members were either dead or wounded and unable to move to the pickup zone, he directed the aircraft to a nearby clearing where he jumped from the hovering helicopter, and ran approximately 75 meters under withering small-arms fire to the crippled team.

Prior to reaching the team’s position he was wounded in his right leg, face and head. Despite these painful injuries, he took charge, repositioning the team members and directing their fire to facilitate the landing of an extraction aircraft, and the loading of wounded and dead team members. He then threw smoke canisters to direct the aircraft to the team’s position. Despite his severe wounds and under intense enemy fire, he carried and dragged half of the wounded team members to the awaiting aircraft. He then provided protective fire by running alongside the aircraft as it moved to pick up the remaining team members. As the enemy’s fire intensified, he hurried to recover the body and classified documents of the dead team leader. When he reached the leader’s body, Benavidez was severely wounded by small-arms fire in the abdomen and grenade fragments in his back. At nearly the same moment, the aircraft pilot was mortally wounded and his helicopter crashed. Hispanic Americans in the U.S. Army

Unbelievable Audio From the New Black Panthers: ‘Suited, Booted, and Armed’ TheBlaze.com

2012/04/12 –

Hmm…This may not be wise. After all never underestimate your enemy. But hey I am just a White Devil, what do I know? Apparently they are angry at white, pink and honky devils as well as capitalism. They may be also angry at their history teachers since it is obvious they didn’t learn anything while in class. Had they paid attention they might have learned just how bad a decision it would be to pick a fight with the most competent, peace loving, productive, moral people the world has ever seen. I am talking about the silent majority in this country which up till now has been, if not perfectly content, then reasonably ok with the idea of sending bucket loads of money to the government to take care of these lazy asses. And I am addressing these New Black Panther losers…it is pretty apparent when watching the various videos of these losers that none of them are working. Which means that the rest of us are supporting them. Nice gig if you can get it.

They might want to reconsider picking a fight with those who have the capability to provide a decent life for their lay about lazy asses while also providing for their own wives, husbands, children and grandchildren. That sort of excess capacity points to competence that none of those New Black Panthers understand. That sort of competence transfers to whatever we do…if you get my drift. The biggest problem would be getting us to stop once we get pissed off enough to fight. The New Black Panthers wouldn’t like us when we are angry. If they have any doubts about what happens when we get angry there are some folks they can speak to: Japanese, Germans, British, Indians, Mexicans, and various other groups who end up dead when they misunderestimate us.

If blood is spilled, it will get ugly fast and that blood will be all over Obama’s hands for not reining these New Black Clowns in.

‘SUITED, BOOTED, AND ARMED’: UNBELIEVABLE AUDIO FROM THE NEW BLACK PANTHERS ON BLOODY, ANTI-CAPITALIST ‘RACE WAR’ AGAINST WHITE DEVILS

Unbelievable Audio From the New Black Panthers: Suited, Booted, and Armed

The New Black Panthers had a group phone call Friday to discuss the April 9 rally for Trayvon Martin.

(Related: Malik Zulu Shabazz: New Black Panthers Planning April 9 ‘Day of Action’)

Hosted primarily by Michelle Williams and Chawn Kweli, the New Black Panther’s chief of staff in Tampa and a national spokesman, respectively, the call was filled with violent, hate-filled speech outlining the party’s future plans.  Words like “war, cracker, and blood“ seemed to be the biggest ”buzz words” in the conversation.

Listen to the stunning audio, courtesy of Breitbart.com:

The audio is a little rough at points, so The Blaze has transcribed the relevant statements (emphasis added).

Williams: I just want to say to all the listeners on this phone call, that if you are having any doubt about getting suited, booted, and armed up for this race war that we’re in that has never ended, let me tell you somethin…the thing that’s about to happen these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these people, these motherf*er…it has been long overdue.”

Kweli: “Ya, what she said was right– we got to suit up and boot up…and get prepared for the war that we’re in…this stuff got to boil over, and all your great’s talked about that happened to be bloodshed involved with revolution- true revolution means some bloodshed, so there‘s blood being spilled because there’s a new life that is beyond this bloodshed.  There is a new reality that is built upon your original African principles and spiritualities and values and norms that is beyond this bloodshed.  But we gotta go do it.

“And as the Scripture said, you gotta to cross it.  We gon’ have to cross the Red Sea….I know y’all thought it was talking about some sea in some Middle Eastern part of the world- hell no.  We’re talking about some blood.  You’re gonna have to cross some blood, and go through some bloodand some battles.

“And there are those who wish they could stand in this hour, to see the destruction of the devil‘s world and the devil’s society- and I‘m ain’t talking about no dude underneath the ground with a pitchfork and pantyhose.  I’m talking about that blonde haired, blue-eyed, sometimes brown-eyed, Caucasian walkin around with a mindset, a demonistic mindset, and a nature to do evil and brutality.”

Williams: “I say to everyone that is on this call right now, I‘m comin’ out of the gate…my prize right now this evening is going to be the bounty, the arrest– dead or alive– for George Zimmerman.  You feel me?  To every brother, to every female, I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence.  You feel me?  It’s time to wake up, I don’t know how else...It’s in me to fight.  It’s in me to raise up soldiers.  It’s in me that every time my feet touch the ground the state of Florida- these crackers- they scared.

“I’m kinda pissed off right now that the state of Florida ain’t on fire.  This could not have happened in L.A. because them brothers up there are not scared to riot.  This could not have happened in St. Petersburg Florida, where the black man over there are ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

Kweli: “This is real.  We’re attacked anywhere in the world and we would defend ourselves by any means necessary…You starve capitalism, since this racism that‘s being perpetuated and this brutality that’s being perpetuated, and this murder that’s being perpetuated, is built on the table legs of capitalism, you’ve got to starve capitalism.

“An act of war has been declared on us and we have no choice but to fight…[But] we have to be trained how to fight.  See the whole purpose of the maneuver that’s happening in Sanford is to train in self-defense, because many of us think we’re prepared for a battle- just like many of us think we’re prepared for a fight- but if you are not training, if you are not stocking up water, if you are not stocking up food, if you are not stocking up weapons and artillery and survival books, and gas masks, and flashlights, and cantines, and ready-to-eat meals…if you are not stocking that up I don’t know how serious we are right now.

“Absolutely, we want the complete removal of capitalism.  Why?  Because capitalism sets up a class structure and a class society.  As I said in the beginning of the “haves” and “have nots,” [the] pivotal point is racism, it is racism that keeps them perpetuating a capitalistic motion.  So yes, we want capitalism completely eradicated, especially from the minds and hearts and dealings of black people.” Unbelievable Audio From the New Black Panthers: ‘Suited, Booted, and Armed’ TheBlaze.com.

Obama Voter Ann Althouse “Good lord, what an ugly place we are in right now.”

2012/04/11 –

This Zimmerman affair is what you might want to call a teachable moment for those folks like Althouse who voted for Obama.

Zimmerman letter to Obama Attorney General Holder…

I realize that you are no doubt aware of the events that took place on February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida. While the facts of the case have not been made public yet, many in the black community have formed what many are calling a “lynch mob” against George Zimmerman. The rhetoric from the black community has ranged from benign to incredibly violent. Among those that have interjected themselves include Congressmen (and women), the Congressional Black Caucus, The NAACP, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, President Barack Obama, and the most violent, the New Black Panthers. Many of the above mentioned groups (or persons) that are commenting on the tragic events of that February night no doubt understand the laws of our great nation. What ever happened to INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY and DUE PROCESS?

Hate Crimes Holder Justice Department The Daily Caller.

Here is a snippet from Althouse’s realization that we are in a very special place…heh.

Good lord, what an ugly place we are in right now. Who would have thought that in the last year of Obama’s presidential term, the public mind would obsess over race at this level? I’m recalling the media coverage of election night, 2008, and the inauguration, when there was a rhapsody of closure and a feeling — some called it “hope” — that we had entered a new era of harmony. How did we get sucked into some nightmare parody of the past? If it’s not Obama’s fault, can he at least do something to yank us up out of this awful place? In 2009 or even 2011, he would have given a speech. He would have believed he could rescue us with a speech, perhaps because we kind of thought he could. Maybe no one believes anymore. There’s a hope vacuum, and look what’s moving in.

Althouse is proving that being intelligent is no guarantee of having wisdom. All of this was predictable and predicted by many prominent and not so prominent voices prior to the “One” election/coronation. Some of us are not as intelligent as Althouse but we are blessed with the wisdom to know better when a flim-flam man comes a calling like Obama did in 2007. For some of us we saw through the carefully polished shine when he gave his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention.

Btw having wisdom to see through some of the crap that comes flying my way does not mean I can see though all of it…witness my prediction that Obama would lose from the link to flim-flam man! Boy am I eating that foolish prediction, the American people, including Althouse were far stupider than I ever realized.

But Obama is even funnier than that if you consider the attempted con job he has been trying to pull on the rest of the country. Consider his oh so heralded speech on race, which was actually an attempt to keep the Right Reverend Wright’s lunatics on board while giving willing fools a reason to believe that Obama really isn’t a white hating lunatic himself…no matter what he says about his Grandmother. He really thinks you are a dumbshit…ain’t that cute. Those leftists with their coincidental relationships with reality! Thank goodness that the Democrats are buying into this classic demagogues bullshit. Had they run a centrist candidate not out on the lunatic fringes they might have actually won the Presidency this year. Hell even Lieberman would have crushed McCain. You go girls.

So then where does that leave us? Probably at the cusp of a civil war as none of this is being missed by anyone.

What If High Blood Sugar Is A Defensive Mechanism? Maybe It Isn’t A Defect But A Reaction?

2012/03/23 –

I am reading a remarkable book, THE MIRACULOUS RESULTS OF EXTREMELY HIGH DOSES OF THE SUNSHINE HORMONE VITAMIN D3 by Jeff T Bowles, that is blowing me away. His hypothesis that many of today’s ailments can be traced to our low levels of vitamin D is fascinating. But what is striking to me are some of the questions he asks, for instance when he wonders why our blood sugar can skyrocket he comes to the remarkable conclusion that it might have something to do with changing of seasons and hibernating. This leads him to the hypothesis that the hormone Vitamin D might be responsible as the levels in our blood rise and fall due to the length of the day. This may alert our body to put on fat and protect our body from cold. Here is Jeff:

I then started wondering about blood sugar. What in the world could increased blood sugar protect you from? And then it hit me! I remembered some experiments that were conducted on a (poor) Beagle where they wanted to put the dog into suspended animation with no vital signs and then see if he could be resuscitated. They did this by reducing his body temperature to about freezing. In order to prevent freezing damage to his tissues, they added a large amount of glycerol to his blood. This lowered the freezing point of his blood so that they could reduce his body temperature dramatically and not worry about crystallization damage. I also remembered this is what they do to people’s bodies who have signed up to be frozen upon death with hopes of being resurrected in the future after technology advances make resuscitation possible (good luck).   AHA! Possibly high glucose levels in the blood protect the hibernating body from the danger of tissue damage due to freezing! By boosting the sugar level of blood, it reduces blood’s freezing and crystallization temperature! Keep Reading »

Very Low Carbohydrates Combined With Intermittent Fasting…

2012/03/20 –

Getting some push-back from relatives regarding my diet which now not only includes Very Low Carbohydrate (VLC) regime but also a Intermittent Fasting (IF) component. I eat one VLC meal a day for dinner. Some of my relatives seem to think that this sort of regime is “not good for me”. Specifically they have a problem with the fasting part. Let’s see what the experts say.

First let me lead off with the first article below regarding Calorie Restriction which is the only proven way to radically extend life on test animals. The Wiki link explains that they are seeing increases of 30 to40% in the life spans of rats and mice. In primates the results are not yet final as they tend to live a lot longer. But so far in the 20th year of the study 80% of the calorie restricted monkey’s are still alive compared to 50% of the controls. Additionally the dieting monkey’s show significantly less diabetes, cancer, and heart and brain disease.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Reduce, recycle and rebuild is as important to the most basic component of the human body, the cell, as it is to the environment. And a University of Florida study shows just how much the body benefits when it “goes green,” at least if you’re a rat: Cutting calories helps rodents live longer by boosting cells’ ability to recycle damaged parts so they can maintain efficient energy production. via University of Florida News – UF scientists reveal how dietary restriction cleans cells.

So then after that article let’s discuss a way of perhaps getting the same results without having to starve all the time. First off a study showing that the protective effects of Calorie Restriction (CR) are also seen in patients who fast but while calorie restriction can take weeks to months to be effective, fasting gives results within days. From the study:

Preliminary reports indicate that fasting for up to 5 days followed by a normal diet, may also protect patients against chemotherapy without causing chronic weight loss. By contrast, the long-term 20 to 40% restriction in calorie intake (dietary restriction, DR), whose effects on cancer progression have been studied extensively for decades, requires weeks-months to be effective, causes much more modest changes in glucose and/or IGF-I levels, and promotes chronic weight loss in both rodents and humans. 

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21516129

What sort of effects are they seeing?
