The Streetcar Conspiracy

The Streetcar Conspiracy

Removing the streetcar rail lines systems from major US cities was a conspiracy to force American consumers to purchase personal automobiles and local governments to switch to gas-powered buses as public transportation.

The concept of selling vehicles as "personal freedom devices" came about in the 1950s, following the effectiveness of the aforementioned corporate conspiracy.  It was only then that most ("nuclear") American families had cars they would allow their children to drive, as they were older models.

As an aside, I guess "nuclear family" just rolls off the tongue more easily than "Big Oil" family...  Speaking of, why is the logo for British Petroleum, or BP, an image of the sun and not a fucking dinosaur?

ANYwho, it was not until the 1980s that having more than one car per household became an American Standard (ahem) when both nuclear family parents were forced to hold down jobs due to stagnating wages and rising inflation -- caused by yet another fiscal conspiracy:

Nixon's 1971 decision to drop The Gold Standard.  The majority of Americans' Real Wages (wages after adjusting for inflation) have not increased since before 1980.

That's the thing about "conspiracy theories:"

Only Guilty Parties call them that.

The Dancing ISraelis

There Are No Other Suspects

Cops arrested 11, or five, Mossad "victims" dancing outside the Twin Towers on 9/11 -- although some stories claim as many as 200 were later rounded-up and questioned.  The "official" story sets the count at 6,000,000 and you are not allowed to question that under threat of LAW.

The Mossad agents were posing as Art students, and there is a disturbing lack of "official narrative" as to why they were there to begin with, or why they were dancing.  This is likely the most suppressed news item surrounding the continuing mystery of 9/11, leading many to surmise that the War Crime, ISrael, was -- if not directly responsible for -- at least informed of the attack beforehand.

In fact, the circumstantial evidence regarding ISrael's direct involvement in 9/11 is vast and devastating, if not accurate.  Note that link leads to an in-depth "conspiracy theory" that can only truly be dismissed by releasing the evidence collected, and intentionally withheld from the public, on 9/11.  (Which is not going to happen any time soon.)

Of course, only "Anti-Semites" would dare question the "official story," anyway.  Luckily, we're all ghettoized to "Fake News" sites, so no one else will ever know...

But, before we leave, we'd like to point-out that 9/11 Survivors' funds are being cut-off as that money is being re-routed to ISrael.

We're sure it's another one of those coincidences we hear so much about.

"Lucky" Larry Silverstein's Magic Lever - 9/11 WTC7

"Lucky" Larry Silverstein: Wiseguy, Demolitions Expert, Architect

On 9/11/2001, "Lucky" Larry Silverstein just so happened to notice that a third building, WTC7, had a small fire.  Luckily, it was already rigged for demolition, so Larry "Double Down" Silverstein told his associates to, "Pull it" -- a demolitions term for destruction.

Silverstein had taken out the first insurance policy in history against Terrorist attacks shortly before 9/11.  He then successfully argued in court that he should receive twice the payout -- since not one, but two, towers had collapsed.

Apparently, "Lucky" Larry Silverstein's third tower, WTC7, was not covered by this policy.

9/11/1973 -- Allende, Chile

9/11/1973

On September 11^th, 1973, US-backed military forces murdered 60,000 Chileans in a coup-detat which lead to nearly 20 years of brutal rule in Chile by Augusto Pinochet -- known to US citizens as, "the savior of Democracy."

While then-President Allende's building was bombed by fighter jets, shot at by tanks and soldiers on the ground, and eventually set ablaze, it did not collapse.

Fake News: Trump's 2020 Space Force Already Exists

US Air Force Space Command

The Air Force Space Command, or AFSPC, was created in 1982.  Here is a link to its website, and I doubt it cost $8bn to create.  The Fake News from the Big Six Media corporations has manufactured fake outrage for months over this non-story regarding Trump's "Space Force."

If these incompetent dullards are unable to protect us, our infrastructure, or our polling processes from Iranians, Chinese, North Koreans, and Russians, the last thing they need is more of our money to finance their perpetual failure.

Not to mention that they claim we need to give them MOAR money for our Internet infrastructure because... "climate change."  And, also, too?  "Russians" are able to cut our lights (and water) at-will because "Russians" have access to our utilities... despite the fact that the US military literally just underwent an exercise involving cutting utilities to various locales to facilitate invading securing them.  This was called, "Operation: Lights Out."

It's all the usual suspects blowing smoke up our collective skirt in order to embezzle more of our tax dollars -- including the money mandatorily confiscated from every paycheck for Medicare and Social Security -- for their never-ending War Machine and Defense Contract "holes," such as the wall for the Mexican border Bush signed into law in 2007.

If the US Federal government is unwilling to provide SSI/SSA and Medicare, then we should not be forced to pay into it -- period -- nor should they be allowed to use these funds, set aside for a specific purpose, in any other way than for which they are intended.  When there is a surplus, the amount we are forced to pay in should be reduced.  This is non-negotiable; everything else is Felony Embezzlement.  Social Security is not broke, it is not going broke, and anyone who says otherwise is being paid from the very surplus SSI creates to Defraud the populace with Malice Aforethought.

And that is what is going on here: "Trump's Space Force by 2020" with an $8bn price tag already exists and was, in fact, founded under President Ronald Reagan the very year that Social Security was changed to provide for retiring Baby Boomers (1982).

We are being Terrorized and conned into paying, over and over, for the same services few of us ever receive by pieces of shit who have never worked a single day in their worthless lives -- for Social Security, for Internet and Internet infrastructure and Internet security, for Medicare, for Mexican Walls, for Space Forces, and, especially, for the never-ending National Socialist, or Nazi, War Machine.

The AFSPC, or Air Force Space Command, is sometimes referred to as Solar Warden.  Early versions of the Air Force Training Manual contained protocol for encountering aliens and UFO, which is now in the FEMA Training Manual.

US Politicians Who Own Stock in Defense Contracting Companies

US Defense Contractor Bribes

We've been drumming the anti-war skins for a while now, but we have no end to the weirdness, so I promise to get back to more inexplicable oddities in coming weeks (ghosts and goblins, dogmen, loch monsters, et. al.) - especially since so many new and exciting developments have occurred.

However, the Big Six/Five (Media) has continually terrorized American citizens with impending doom as politicians in high places regularly threaten us all with nuclear holocaust, so I figure this is kind of important - and definitely a conspiracy.

Following is a list of US Senators who have received defense contracting bribes lobbyist money, and/or own stock in defense contracting companies.

These pieces of untouchable, inhuman shit are generally referred to as "warhawks," but that is a pleasant descriptor for mass murdering psychopaths devoid of conscience or morality.  It is naive to think that such creatures exist only in the US, as nations such as, but not limited to, China, ISrael, and Russia are all too eager to appease these assholes' thirst for civilian blood -- War is, after all, a "boom-time economy," during which they get to show off their toys while advancing their means of committing further atrocities against Mankind.

Despite ISrael's barbarism and damning influence in US politics, this is no "Jewish Plot" -- the majority of ISraelis do not practice traditional Judaism to begin with, and few ISraeli civilians are content with their government's escalating War Crimes; this is The Business Plot Smedley Butler - slandered by the Media as a conspiracy theorist, and worse - warned us about nearly a century ago.

"War," Butler famously noted, "is a racket."  And the racketeers involved may surprise some, since they - just as we saw with the appointment of Bloody Gina Haspel and the flat-topped, Flintstonian thug, Mike Pompeo - are Democrats and Republicans, Labours and Tories, Zionists and self-proclaimed X-ians, et. al.; War profiteers - like racists - come in all shape, color, size, religion, and political persuasion.

So it follows that these members of a sub-human race should be convicted of Racketeering -- and any prosecutor in the world could choose to try them under the RICO Act, but would "commit suicide" long before the trial began.  (Just as we saw with the DNC Embezzlement trial in District 7, Florida.)  The better way to serve humanity is to charge them with a litany of War Crimes - including Murder in the First, Conspiracy, Sedition, Insurgency, and High Treason - and publicly execute them.

That's no threat, nor does it rise to the level of "Incitement;" that is the Sentence for at least half the charges they face as a Seditious Collective, under Penalty of Law.  That they exist to this very day is proof that I've no personal means of meting Justice to these Guilty parties -- nor does anyone else, living or dead.

But, by God, I've been known to swing a hammer, and I'm happy to help build the gallows:

The Discovery phase of the DNC's unwarranted lawsuit against the entire country of Russia (for fuck's sake), as well as WikiLeaks, would bring their multitudinous crimes to light, so it might be tossed like Adam Schiff's salad in the back of a cream-colored limo... just as an off-hand example.  But they are going to double-down, dragging even more parties into the fray - ignoring all US and International Law, all domestic court and international tribunal decisions, threatening judges and authorities, and utilizing their control of the Corporate Press and digital companies (like Facebook and Google) to bury their exponentially mounting crimes.  (Again, as we saw with the DNC's Embezzlement trial in District 7, Miami.)

Socialism, intentionally misconstrued by the Press and its opponents as Communism or Marxism, is not the problem - especially when so few can even define it - and circumventing the governmental structure through corporate proxies that bribe lobby it to do their bidding (Racketeering) is no different from the government controlling the corporations (Communism).  Socialism is not the issue because what The People demand is not Socialist in nature:

When CEOs take home - not earn, or generate - over 100x that of employees, receive kickbacks in the form of corporate welfare, and hide their earnings overseas to avoid taxation, it's called Theft.  No one's asking for a "hand-out," or even a "hand-up," by calling for an end to such blatantly unfair practices and widening inequality (known as Predatory Capitalism, or Aggravated Grand Larceny), nor is demanding a living wage, and reasonable working and living conditions, some kind of Marxist "redistribution of wealth;" no one but the corporate fat-cats are getting something for nothing here.

The redistribution of wealth occurs when CEOs and corporate behemoths take home over 100x that of employees through fraudulent means and unfair trade practices, yet pay nothing into the systems supported by the collection of taxes, thus shifting the burden back to the taxpayers they employ.

That is known as Double Taxation.

The Islamic faith, like Judaism, is not the problem -- no moreso than the 250+ flavors of X-ianity, or Buddhism, Hinduism, or any other belief structure, religious or otherwise.  All of this claptrap is known as a straw man argument, which is why the DNC, ANTIFA, the "Alt-Right," and their ilk always resort to shouting matches and violence to drown-out their opponents.

The Problem is that these are base, and exquisitely stupid, non-human specimen incapable of doing their jobs - jobs for which they are unfit, jobs for which they were unqualified in the first place.  Trump's appointments are a textbook example: What qualifications do Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Mike Pompeo, or Donald Trump, Jr. have to hold any political office?  For that matter, what qualifies President Bigwig himself?

This is not news to these insects, nor anyone else.  So, to these ends, almost all US politicians are lawyers and/or legal "experts" specifically for the purposes of subverting the Law, worldwide.  The War Criminal, Barack Obama, is another perfect example: A Constitutional lawyer who attempted to pass the TPP - an illegal, international trade agreement he not only intentionally hid from the voting public, but about which he intentionally misled us - and manipulated the rule of Law to silence dissenters in a Draconian reign of terror that has yet to subside.

Such a grand Conspiracy constitutes Sedition.  Covering-up these crimes elevates it to High Treason.

Do not refer to these criminals or their syndicate as "Globalists;" all economies beyond the hyper-localized are global by their very nature, and most of the world's cultures are representative of this.

These are Imperialists.

This filth - on both sides of The Pond, on both sides of the Aisle - are neither Diplomats nor Politicians; these are smart-mouthed whores masquerading as pseudo-intellectuals: Ignoramuses educated beyond their intellectual capacity, who are incapable of sustaining a peacetime economy, and unwilling to campaign for forward Progress under any circumstances.

Had they ever learned to lose gracefully, or compromise in any way, who knows what may have been.  But these are greedy, selfish, pampered, simplistic morons whose delusions of grandeur and propensity for violence prop-up luxurious, and undeserved, lives spent wallowing in Denial.  This is a sub-sect of some ancient, primordial lifeform which has never won on an even playing field, nor even when the axis is overwhelmingly tilted in their favor, because they can not -- and, for this reason, they bear an awesome grudge against all Mankind - conspiring endlessly to murder, disenfranchise, and enslave as many of us as they can.

They fight abortion to ensure population growth, then fight welfare programs designed to feed and shelter the population specifically to force young adults into servitude to the Police State - as they are incapable of creating jobs outside of the bloated military sector.  They send these young slaves to murder and die in foreign lands to enrich themselves and forward their corporate interests, and use soft violence to disenfranchise those of us who oppose this, turning the very soldiers we seek to protect against us, convincing their friends and families that we - of all people - do not respect their lives or "service."  Which is, of course, a literal half-truth.

The most bitter of ironies is that these soldiers, robbed of an education, accuse us of being "Communists" for not supporting the wars in which they murder and die in service to their government.

A Scorched Earth Policy is not these political hacks' final option -- it's their first, and only, attempt at "Diplomacy."  May God help us all when they don't get their way!

Here, then, is a list of US Senators who received bribes from defense contractors in recent months (2018).

This constitutes High Treason.

Foo Fighters

This photo shows (possibly) German "foo fighters" chasing an American bomber across the European Theater in WWII. Foo fighters may have been among the first unmanned drones used in war. It is possible they used VRIL technology, and may have been an extension of the Haunebu Program.

Foo fighters -- also known as bogies -- were reportedly unarmed, and apparently used for surveillance.

Navel-Gazing, Religion, and World Politics (2013)

I have been thinking quite a bit about the supernatural, the way of the world, and what it all means, and I've come to no real conclusions.  This is no sermon; I have just been doing a lot of introspection -- not so much soul-searching as navel-gazing without a roadmap. 

So, I read some spiritual texts and found them to be of little help, largely because so many twist their true meaning into something it is not -- or, more specifically, what they want you to hear.  The fact is that many religious texts read as flat-out insanity on the surface and their inscrutability is used to stoke fear, anger, and outrage amongst its listeners.  This conflagration of emotions is then manipulated by those in power to control the listener, reader, or viewer.

The Christian religion, in particular, is one that has been abused and twisted by self-serving churches and demagogues, numerous times throughout history.  I was so pleased to hear the new Pope announce that the true way of Jesus Christ is to be kind, loving, tolerant, and accepting of everyone, regardless of race, creed, sexuality or sexual orientation, and so on -- to help those in need, those who cannot help themselves, and all others great and small.

Unfortunately, there are many who use Scripture to advance their own agenda -- usually one of financial and political gain.  In fact, Jesus was even betrayed by one of his own flock simply for money.  Judas Iscariot later regretted his decision deeply but Jesus stood his ground and even prophesied such betrayal.  Many have asked why Jesus did not simply leave His place, knowing that He had been sold-out and forces were on their way to destroy Him.  My question has always been: Why did those who knew Jesus and His message not stand with, protect, and fight for Him?

Jesus worked amongst the sick, hung out with prostitutes and the disenfranchised, and brought them hope and caring, along with the message that love and understanding conquer all.  Those who claim to be Christians today are far too concerned with judging and controlling others, especially those with whom they disagree.
 
Islam is another religion that is too often exploited by those who wish to cause only harm to others.  More than most religions, it preaches hatred toward, and intolerance of, others.  However, all of the Triumverate have done the same.  Both Christianity and Islam -- the leading religions in the world according to some (probably wrong) sources -- are based on Judaism, the first modern religion in which the singular God appears; almost every other religion suggests there are many gods and goddesses -- a pantheon of deities, many of whom represent one or more closely related ideals.

Many other religions teach not about gods and goddesses but spirits and similar forces we would consider supernatural.  Many of these religions suggest that these forces are not only to be found within but without, and that these spirits can be called upon to help one's own forces or hinder one's opposition.  Like the pantheistic religions above, different spirits are used for different reasons, and called upon by believers to exercise powers according to their spheres of influence.  If this sounds vaguely like Dungeons & Dragons, it's because these gaming conventions are based on real religions and beliefs found around the world throughout history, just as the game itself is based on fantasy literature also found around the world throughout history.

Even these beliefs can be twisted by Evil people and used to nefarious ends.  Which brings one to ask: What use is religion?

Religion today is most often used to manipulate and control large groups of people without the need for a centralized leader or faction -- basically a form of slavery that uses fear of the Unknown to limit and control the individual.  Most especially the individual who speaks out against these institutions.

America, in particular, has allowed too many special interest groups, religions, and corporations to purchase the laws and "freedoms" they then use to enslave and manipulate the free-thinking individual.  They have perverted the true beauty of these wonderful things by manipulating believers into doing their bidding, holding them hostage with religious and political beliefs that have been twisted from their true meaning. 

The Holy Bible itself is no longer the word of God (if ever it was) but a deeply twisted mockery, changed many times throughout the ages.  It was, in fact, based on works that have been lost to antiquity and much of it is actually the history of the world, which missionaries subsumed in order to indoctrinate others into the fold.  Christmas, Easter, even marriage, are holidays and institutions originating from pagan cultures that have been incorporated into Christian religion in order to convert the populace.

The Church is just another corporation -- an international business machine, to quote Clutch -- and these corporations and special interest groups have been given free reign to control the individual.  Technology and the media have also been used, often illegally, to further these goals.  Gone are the concepts of integrity and honor, replaced instead by less virtuous ideals such as fame, power, and money.

The Greek government has taken to extracting money from its own citizens' banks to pay the debts their government elite have incurred through lavish spending.  America threatens its population with a non-existent debt ceiling, raising taxes on the middle-class and cutting billions from welfare, social security, education, and other national programs meant to uplift the individual and create a stronger nation.  Instead, we have kept the right to bear arms while hundreds die in gangland shootings, as well as the right to religious freedoms that seek to silence those who oppose the religious structures that are afforded the same rights as corporations, which are also afforded the same rights as individuals.

Iceland jailed the bankers who subverted their laws and rewrote their own constitution -- which was not covered by the mainstream news here in America (and actually wasn't even covered by online outlets).  The Wall Street bankers who masterminded the housing collapse here in America have not been held accountable.  And those of us who speak out against these injustices have been railroaded and turned into scapegoats.

My mind fluctuates between revolution and peaceful negotiations, yet we individuals have no voice in this process and, when we raise them, our words are used against us.  Artistic and religious freedoms are held on the same ground -- given the same weight -- and money is considered free speech.  Artists and creators are jailed and silenced, our own works used against us by those in power, and everyone suffers.

Our nation is perverted by The Church and Big Business.  Is there any hope for freedom from those who oppress us?  Is war with ourselves the only answer?  Should we just submit and allow ourselves to be controlled by those who hold greater power or should we continue to fight until the bitter end, never knowing for certain just what those ends may be?  Should we be conditioned for peace or prepared for war, and why are our own minds, words, and works used against us?  Are love, peace, and harmony simply forever out of reach? 

And, why are the kindest and most caring always the victims?  And only the blood of the innocent shed?

Porn Film Shot on Location at London Hospital

A 'big budget' porn film was shot on-location at a London hospital prior to 2002, according to the heads of the Primary Care Trust (PCT). Speaking to the House of Commons during a meeting involving more transparency in government accounting, Ms Mordaunt, Portsmouth North MP, said the film -- a "big budget affair" -- "generated substantial income for the hospital."

A big-budget porn film generally consists of $15, an 8-ball, and the promise of a ride home.

1000 Architects Question the Truth Behind 9/11 Tower Collapse

Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth

While derided for years now by everyone from the mainstream press to South Park, so-called "conspiracy theorists" who have insisted the collapse of three towers on 9/11 was an "inside job" just may have a point -- according to 1000 architects who are asking Congress to re-investigate how WTC Building 7 collapsed in 11 seconds.

Richard Gage, a San Francisco-based architect who organized Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, said for the building to have collapsed as quickly and efficiently as it did, "the material must have been artificially exploded outwards."  Gage went on to say that the official reports of the incidents which occurred on 9/11 "provide insufficient, contradictory and fraudulent accounts."  

And he succeeded in convincing 1000 of his architectural peers to sign a petition asking for a new investigation, which is on its way to U.S. Congress.

TXT 2 DON8

Errant parishioners in Finland may soon be able to make donations via text message. Dean Matti Pikkarainen of the Oulu Cathedral intends to raise the issue at a nationwide church meeting next month. At the end of 2008, 80% of the Finnish population were members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Currently, the law forbids donations via text messaging, but the Dean noted that many listen to the services on radio, watch them on TV, or access them via the Internet. Mobile phone giant, Nokia, is headquartered in Finland.

1 Mind Ministries Brings Brainwashing, Cults to Headlines

The discovery of the corpse of a year-old infant, stuffed in a suitcase filled with mothballs and stored behind an elderly Philadelphia man's home, uncovered the bizarre beliefs of a cult known as "1 Mind Ministries." Now, the mother of the infant has been sentenced to a 20-year suspended sentence and ordered into counseling. 

She agreed to plead Guilty only if prosecutors allowed her plea to be withdrawn once the child is resurrected.

22-year old Trinidad native, Ria Ramkissoon, put her family "behind her" when she became involved with the 1 Mind Ministries cult, her mother told reporters. The religious cell consisted of at least four other people who will also stand trial for the child's death. Ramkissoon will testify against the former cult members, one of whom is free on his own recognizance.

In a mind-boggling illustration of what passes for American "justice," the judge assured the woman her plea could be withdrawn if the child came back to life. A court psychiatrist found her mentally competent to stand trial, as well as criminally responsible, because she knows right from wrong. I am not sure if they do, though -- nor am I convinced that the proclaimed psychiatrist was familiar with the case.

See, Ms. Ramkissoon and her cult starved her child to death when the 1-year old "refused" to say "Amen" following a meal. Believing the child would be resurrected, the corpse was left to decompose in the cult's apartment. Later, the cult packed the body in a suitcase with mothballs and relocated to Philadelphia. There, they befriended an elderly man and stored the suitcase behind his home. Police found the grisly scene a year after the baby's death. If words like "insane," "delusional," or "crazy" come to mind, I concur. 

A court psychiatrist did not.

We've been over this one before, guys: mentally incompetent people are incapable of Evil, because Evil presupposes a choice. The American legal system dismisses both the label, Evil, as having religious connotations, and the concept as being separate from knowing "right from wrong." It's one of the greatest failings of a judicial system just chockful o' Fail. Of course, just refusing to use the word, "Evil," does not mean the concept is not in play: 

If Ms. Ramkissoon's actions are not considered "Evil," then why would she be facing punishment? It's a convoluted mess of semantics deemed intellectually insulting to those of us without a vested financial or professional interest in organized crime.

Even more insulting is the prosecutors' admission that the finding of competency was "surprising"... but they were still going to punish her to the fullest extent of the law. Because that is exactly what people like poor Ms. Ramkissoon deserve for getting sick, and being taken advantage of by people not unlike the prosecutors!

Next up for Baltimore [ZONE 1] prosecutors? Those fucking cancer patients. Enough with the lying around and hurting shit! Everybody's got problems, for fuck's sake.

Ramkissoon's guilty plea actually means she will come out better than if she had pursued an insanity defense, which could have hospitalized her indefinitely: According to her plea deal, she will have spent a year in jail, and will serve another five on probation. However, she will also be forced to undergo treatment meant to deprogram her. Technically, Ms. Ramkissoon may make a full recovery and actually have a chance at pursuing a normal life; an insanity defense risked her permanent incarceration in a "hospital for the criminally insane" -- yet another legal semantic (a hospital in which one is permanently incarcerated -- get it? Me either).

Mental illness and emotional maladjustments are not necessarily evidence of weak minds or any other physical/chemical shortcoming, nor can the state of mental infirmity or emotional incompetence be considered a "choice." In computing terms, it's referred to as GIGO: "Garbage In, Garbage Out" -- that means that if the information is processed incorrectly to begin with [INPUT], there is no chance for a correct outcome [OUTPUT]. Asking mentally ill and/or emotionally unwell persons to make, or defend, rational moral decisions is akin to asking a paraplegic to run a foot race... or a lawyer not to take a bribe.

How can a woman who spent a year with her infant's corpse in a suitcase filled with mothballs and fabric softener, waiting for it to rise from the dead -- who agreed to plead guilty only if she can withdraw that plea once her child does return from the grave -- be considered to know "right" from "wrong?" What is that even supposed to mean? To such a diseased mind, these are clearly pointless labels, no more relevant than knowing right from left, or red from blue.

The question here becomes: Did the Baltimore [ZONE 1] Court understand Right from Wrong during this trial and Sentencing Phase?

Our hearts go out to all of the victims here -- including both families -- and Ms. Ramkissoon, herself. It is an egregious failing of the American judicial system that requires her and her (almost certainly Public-appointed) attorney to play such legal games in order to get her the help she needs -- the help a society as "advanced" as the US, LLC claims to be should be able to provide her -- but The Weirding applauds her lawyer's efforts (make note, as we are not in the habit of applauding lawyers). 

Hopefully, Ms. Ramkissoon will recover... though part of me hopes she never does; the thought of her suffering for the rest of her life under the weight of knowing she killed her own child while delusional is just heartbreaking.

Iron Age Coins Found in Suffolk

A cache of "staters" was found in Suffolk by a man using a metal detector. The case is similar to one from a few years ago, when another amateur sleuth uncovered a cadre of Roman coins with his metal detector. The find in the latter case turned out to be the largest of its kind in Britain; this most recent discovery is said to be the largest of its kind since 1849.

The coins are thought to have been minted by predecessors of the Iceni Queen Boudicca and date back to between 40BC to AD15. Queen Boudicca led indigenous tribes in revolt against Roman troops after her husband's will was ignored and her daughters raped by Legionnaires. Though the revolt was eventually quelled, at the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, Boudicca's bravery cemented her place in British history, and she remains an important figure to this day. Ironically, yet another amateur metal detector enthusiast came upon a neckband originating from the Iceni tribe this past November. This discovery was reported in October, 2008.

During the time o f their circulation, the coins would have been worth somewhere between $1-2 million, but at least one expert suggests they are worth far less now, "We don't know how much they will be worth but it will be less than they were at the time." The coins will be offered to museums at their current value.

While the location of the find is being withheld, spokespeople noted a "thorough" search of the area had turned up nothing else of value.

Bloomfield, NJ Dishes It Out, but Won't Take It

22-year old Frank Gilberti was upset over having to pay what he considered an unfair traffic ticket. To show his displeasure, Gilberti tried to pay in pennies - 112 rolls of them ($56.00US). Not only would the court not accept his money, it issued a warrant for his arrest!

Gilberti said he called the courthouse and was told they would only accept the pennies if he wrote his driver's license number on each and every roll. He asked them, if he should pay his fine in $1 bills, would he have to write his driver's license number on each bill? The court's response was to issue an arrest warrant for him. He had to pay $90 to avoid jail.

Pennies are legal tender and any organization which accepts cash is legally bound to accept pennies! As Gilberti said, "This is U.S. currency accepted all over the country [but] apparently not in Bloomfield, N.J..."

Man Shoots Boss at Office Christmas Party

Eric Allen Kirkpatrick, recently laid-off, returned to his former place of employment and opened fire during a Christmas party, killing his former boss. While reports suggest Kirkpatrick fired several shots into a crowd of at least 20 people, no one else was injured.

Kirkpatrick was laid-off on December 11^th. Many Americans are losing their jobs, as prices continue to rise and employment continues to decline. While politicians insist America is not in a financial recession, statistics dispute their statements. While Kirkpatrick was charged with first-degree (premeditated) murder, his situation suggests an altered state of mind, so I expect the defense to go with an insanity plea.

Police surrounded the building, locked down the neighborhood, and ushered others to safety. They negotiated with the shooter for two hours before taking him into custody.
