Have you ever checked into how much hostility this state is managed with? You should. Here's one very recent example: The computer debacle in the City of SF. That's the one where a long time computer technician is being held on $5 million bond for "tampering" with a system. A very heinous murderer often times is held on roughly $1 million or so bail.
Our understanding is that Sen. Menendez is blocking the most effective tool against illegal immigration in order to get something else that he wants. He will allow an E-Verify vote if he is allowed to give hundreds of thousands of higher skilled American jobs permanently to hundreds of thousands of additional immigrants.
At a time when higher skilled Americans and students aspiring to those jobs are finding a depressed job market, Sen. Menendez is insisting on flooding their occupations with even more foreign workers. And if he doesn't get his way, he will take away the best tool that employers have to keep illegal foreign workers from taking jobs at every rung of the ladder, but especially at the lower-skilled job level.
This outrageously callous behavior toward American workers during a time of employment shrinkage is typical for Sen. Menendez. His lifetime immigration voting has earned him an F-minus in the category of protecting American workers from unfair foreign labor competition. And his overall career immigration-reduction grade (all categories) is an F. Take a look at his grades: http://grades.betterimmigration.com/testgrades.php3?District=NJ&VIPID=54...
When it comes to favoring foreign workers (and the greedy employers who use them to depress wages) over struggling American workers, Sen. Menendez has no shame. But we can hope to persuade his Democratic Senate colleagues that this will bring great embarrassment to them if they don't persuade Sen. Menendez to release his death grip on the E-Verify system before he chokes it to death.
NumbersUSA members, please check your Action Buffet corkboards for actions you can take to save the E-Verify system that is at the heart of Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia and many county and city laws attempting to reduce illegal immigration in their jurisdiction.
DON'T complain later if you don't see "change." Because "change" is not a tangible. Like God, it's not to be seen only perhaps heard. So, wait and wait and wait for the "prayer" to be answered. That's what "change" is like, dead slow, if at all while you get really, really mad again and want "change."
Please enjoy your home in Oakland now. Take a good close up look at the history of that city, how good it was, and how classic it was. Then view it today. It's trash, quite literally, and was made that way via inaction and "gun control" that was artlessly substituted for crime control, just as for a lot of cities.
After that, take a brief view of SF. Consider its history and what it is to day, a mess. Would you even drive through Hunter's Point today? That's the genius of Newsome, but also all the rest of the clowns who've disassembled SF over the last fifty years. Drink on it. You should, especially if you're a true liberal. Feel all nice and warm inside over what the state of these cities is now. Someone should be celebrating. It may as well be you.
The murders are way up. That's funny. Now that the bad little gun store is gone should anyone reflect on the fact that it had little to no bearing on crime?
No, it's better to equivocate. The public elects idiots with such glee, usually on very narrow emotional issues. Then later they find out that fakers have no motivation to do anything.
Oakland City Council will take a very long deserved European style recess for all of August. They'll win re-election hands down off of the same idiots that elected them the last time.
People need to stop complaining so much. They put into place exactly what's coming to them. Rememeber this when you start getting all pumped up about any candidate.
Say, if you want to talk "rocket launchers" now is the time! The sky's the limit says Peolsi and her ilk. Of course, there‘ll never be another 9/11, be assured of that. Just like there‘ll never be another hotheaded triple murderer in SF. You can bank on that liberals. You sure can and DON'T dare go out and buy a gun liberals 'cause you've got to uphold your self inflicted principles on yourselves too.
Have fun in SF with all that sweet, sweet talk. Put a flower in your hair too and be so sweet! And please, don't get your head cut off by any hothead that comes along. That would be a shame. You deserve all your gentle thoughts and stuff. You need a real gentle kick in the ass, but you'll get that when you get lowered down say about six feet. It'll be so sweet and nice. You'll never get over it.
he sounds so sure of himself! i would suggest he contact NIST immediately! they spent millions of dollars and produced a 10,000 page report, but the admit that the total collapses are unexplainable, yet we are blessed to have a master of engineering and analysis right here in the bay area who can easily explain how all of those beams and trusses failed in perfectly coordinated fashion at near freefall speed! the NIST may give him a lot of money to come on TV and tell the world- sure the buildings were built to withstand being hit by a commercial airliner, but i know why they both collapsed completely, and the world will bow at his feet..
NIST Admits Total Collapse Of Twin Towers Unexplainable
Implicitly acknowledges controlled demolition only means by which towers could have fallen at free fall speed
Paul Joseph Watson / Prison Planet | October 16, 2007
The National Institute for Standards and Technology has been forced to admit that the total free-fall collapse of the twin towers cannot be explained after an exhaustive scientific study, implicitly acknowledging that controlled demolition is the only means by which the buildings could have come down.
In a recent letter (PDF link) to 9/11 victim's family representatives Bill Doyle and Bob McIlvaine, NIST states, "We are unable to provide a full explanation of the total collapse."
A 10,000 page scientific study only offers theories as to how the "collapse initiation" proceeded and fails to address how it was possible for part of a WTC structure to fall through the path of most resistance at freefall speed, completely violating the accepted laws of physics.
(Article continues below)
In addition, NIST's own studies confirmed that virtually none of the steel in either tower reached temperatures hotter than 500 degrees. The point at which steel weakens is 1000 degrees and melting point is reached at 1,500 degrees, according to NIST itself.
"NIST'S 10,000-page report purports to explain what it calls "collapse initiation" -- the loss of several floors' vertical support," writes Kevin Barrett of Scholars for 9/11 Truth. "In order to dream up this preposterous scenario, NIST had to ignore its own tests that showed that virtually none of the steel got hotter than 500 degrees f. It had to claim that somehow the planes took out many core columns, despite the fact that only a direct hit by an engine would have been likely to do so, and that the chances of this happening even once are fairly low. It had to preposterously allege that the plane that nicked the corner of the South Tower took out more core columns than the one that hit the North Tower almost dead center. It had to tweak all the parameters till they screamed bloody murder and say that the steel was far weaker than it actually was, the fire was far hotter than it actually was, the sagging was far greater than it actually was, and so on. And so NIST hallucinated a computer-generated fantasy scenario for "collapse initiation"--the failure of a few floors."
"But how do you get from the failure of a few floors to total collapse at free-fall speed of the entire structure? The short answer: You don't. Anyone with the slightest grasp of the laws of physics understands that even if all of the vertical supports on a few floors somehow failed catastrophically at exactly the same moment--a virtually impossible event, but one necessary to explain why the Towers would come straight down rather than toppling sideways--the top part of the building could not fall THROUGH the still-intact, highly robust lower part of the building, straight through the path of most resistance, just as fast as it would have fallen through thin air."
"Thus total free-fall collapse, even given NIST's ridiculous "initiation" scenario, is utterly impossible. The probability of it happening is exactly equal to the probability of the whole building suddenly falling upward and landing on the moon," concludes Barrett.
NIST have yet to properly address the sudden freefall collapse of WTC Building 7, which imploded on the late afternoon of 9/11 despite not being hit by a jetliner.

In August 2006, NIST promised to scientifically evaluate whether explosive devices could have contributed to the 47-story building's collapse but no answers have been forthcoming.
In August of this year, James Quintiere, Ph.D., former Chief of the Fire Science Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, called for an independent inquiry into NIST's investigation of the collapse of the twin towers.
Yes, indeed, the Truthers, in all their wild delusions, do raise one interesting point worth responding to.
^just one interesting point? you aren't concerned by all of the anomalies, impossibly unlikely "coincidences", and the coverup of 1000's of points of evidence and analysis? .. that is simply ludicrous, given the importance of 9/11..^
Why was the Pentagon so incompetent as to fail to defend itself.?
^i'll assume that you know that Cheney was running drills at the same time and in the same airspace and that these drills involved hijacked planes crashing into buildings? do you know that? do you think that all of the world and all of america should know about this? if this was just a coincidence- o.k.. but why has it been hidden- you can't deny that it has been hidden.. the gov't story has been proven to be a lie at every turn- you think not responding for over an hour to the pentagon plane, AFTER two planes crashed into the WTC towers is just a simple case of incompetence? and nobody has been reprimanded, demoted, fined, investigated? what a friggin' fairy tale you have grasped on to.. why have the videos of the plane that hit the pentagon been hidden? if the official story is true- why hide those tapes? can you answer this? this is 7 years later- does "incompetence" explain away this obstruction and coverup? ^
True enough, Bush and his cronies must have been unimagianbly incompetent in the events leading up to 911.
^"unimaginably" - excellent choice of words- you do have to use a wild amount of imagination to think that incompetence explains the actions of the US intelligence establishment, NORAD, FAA, Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, etc.. that is not a logical explanation at all for what happened and the lies that were planted and prepared for immediate public consumption.. they sure knew who did it pretty fast, huh? i guess it helped a lot that Mohammed Atta, supposedly on a suicide mission, packed a briefcase which contained Arab-language papers revealing the identities of all 19 hijackers involved in the four hijackings, as well as information on their plans, backgrounds and motives. not only did he prepare this handy piece of luggage to take with him into an inferno, but that very piece of luggage didn't make it on to his plane!!! lucky ol' FBI- they really fell into something good with that one.. i'm sure you also think they were SUPER lucky to find a singed passport among the WTC rubble, too, right? ^
Cheney's war games exercise that day may have been a contributing factor.
^may have? war games that cause NORAD to not respond- you know, i think you can feel a little stronger and say, yes, that is a factor in what happened.. please, what a joke.. ^
And yes, this massive failure on the part of our defense establishment should have made Americans howl with fury and rage.
^but, the gov't and corporate media have hidden these facts.. hidden as in obstructed, manipulated, lied.. ^
Bush and Cheney deserved much fiercer cross examination, this much is certain.
^gee, you think? but the 9/11 commission report has been hailed as a helpful effort.. actually, as you not admit, it was an utter sham and served ONLY to hide the truth.. you now know what most americans don't, because they have been lied to over and over again.. seem normal to you? ^
I'm no expert, but I will grant this one point.
^no investigation and massive coverups.. good for you, you're well on your way to understanding the truth.. ^
However, none of this makes it an insider black flag operation.
^absolutely these facts do show that the only group who could have engineered those events is the US intelligence establishment and they are the only group who could have come out with a fictional tale of what happened and hide the truth^
It's not hard to comprehend what occurred.
A similar thing took place on December 7, 1941.
^were there war games over the hawaiian islands, too? i know you mentioned that you are using your imagination earlier.. are you now imagining that pearl harbor was simliar to 9/11? honolulu in 1941 and NYC and Wasington DC in 2001 are similar situations? your're hilarious! ^
The military brass, yet once again, was so preoccupied by distant issues all the way around the world that they simply failed to see a spectacular attack coming right under their very own noses on home turf.
^but, they had war games involving hijacked planes crashing into buildings in the Northeastern United States? were they also writing an email to the chinese trade commission about car parts and planning for a meeting with tony blair? what was the military brass so preoccupied by on 9/10/2001? are you just making this up? 1941 and 2001- world situations were the same? you are reaching, reaching, reaching... ^
This is not evidence of a sinister insider plot but of a blinkered bureaucratic mindset too long obsessed with political empire building and sweetheart deals in cocktail party chatter with Congress and well heeled corporations that an obvious idea simply eluded them as they sat in their plush comfortable offices.
^the idea eluded them, but they also had war games going on to "practice" the response if people hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings in the North east of the USA? sure, the idea eluded them, they were all golfing.. except cheney, he wasn't golfing or working on sweetheart deals on that morning, now was he? oops.. there goes you whole theory.. sorry... ^
They were too concerned with billion dollar stealth bomber deals and sucking up to Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf sheikhdoms that they failed to consider adequate air defense measures against ordinary flying objects.
^failed to consider? but they also had war games going on to "practice" the response if people hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings in the North east of the USA? so, your statement that they "failed to consider" that scenario is stunningly and totally inaccurate, right?^
This was rank dereliction of duty for which a vast number of military hacks with fruit salad and grandiose gold braid on their chests should have been cashiered, but it's not an insider plot. There's no reason such a false flag would have killed a general and had military intelligence in white hot pursuit. There are far simpler ways to provoke a war for Middle East oil. The Cole attack, for example, would have easily been enough if a war was what they really wanted. There would be no need for something as horrrific as 911.
^of course they needed an attack on US soil, compated to a ship in Yemen getting a hole blown in it's side. once again, that is a ridiculous comparison.. remember the Cole! let's attack IRAQ! somehow, i just don't see that.. remember the Cole! we now must fight a global war on terror and budget trillions and trillions of dollars! laughable.. you know about operation northwoods, i hope.. plans to start a war with fake attacks and terror, approved by all of the joint chiefs of staff? ring a bell? the plans are there for you study, and they include MANY military and civilian lives to be sacrificed.. they felt it was necessary, they felt they could get away with it.. mercifully, it didn't happen back in the 60's- but in 2001? it did happen.. in spades... and the oil of the middle east and the strength of petrodollars was the motivation and the investment that would be deemed worth engineering this massive covert operation, so similar to the plans approved by the military leaders of the USA in 1963.. ^
Yes, Pentagon heads should have rolled, but for gross negligence, not treason.
why would investigations be blocked? why would hugely important stories be covered up, such as the war games that cheney was running same time, same place, involving hijacked planes crashing into buildings?
why would the public statements of so many world-class experts in relevant fields be covered up and hidden?
why would the public statements of prominent conservatives, high-level military and intelligence officers, and former heads of state be totally blacked out? Italy's former president told Italy's biggest newspaper that all of the intelligence agencies around the world know that 9/11 was an inside job- this should be considered newsworthy, even if he is wrong, it is an important story..
why would a ballot initiative in NYC to fund an independent investigation be blacked out? this is a newsworthy story, even if you think it's unnecessary or crazy, it is still newsworthy- but this developing story is being consciously hidden.. seem normal to you?
facts about every aspect of the gov't story have been hidden.. that is proof that the gov't is responsible.. there would be no reason to avoid studying all of the steel from the buildings, the black boxes, the war games of Ricky Cheney, the statements of eyewitnesses, statements from people who knew the "hijackers", analysis of flight data, etc.. there would be no reason to stall any investigation, and then set up a phony investigation with imposed limitations..
fire engineering editor calls FEMA explanation of WTC 7 collapse a half-baked farce.. all covered up..
two networks declared it had collapsed prematurely, right about the same time.. covered up.. BBC claimed it lost all 9/11 archives of their broadcast as a result of this damning evidence..
collapse not shown again by networks
silverstein's famous statements? hidden by corporate media.. nobody knows about his statements..
the most inexplicable and unprecedented event in the history of modern skyscrapers, and the forensic evidence is quickly destroyed.. that seem normal to you fools who still try to defend the real perpetrators? if it really collapsed because of a fire and damage from debris, why hid the steel? why wait 7 years to offer an analysis? why keep the public in the dark about the issue?
ground zero workers publicly stating they were told WTC 7 would be imploded- ignored totally..
eyewitnesses to explosions in WTC 7 ? ignored.. but, you can see it for yourself in the jennings interview
only a total liar can now really try to say that there hasn't been a coverup.. i'd say that is quite obvious.. the coverup is proof of guilt.. innocent people with nothing to hide DON'T NEED TO COVERUP ANYTHING! i'd say that is quite obvious, too..
very likely scenario was that the shanksville plane was supposed to hit WTC 7, something went wrong, so they still pulled the building as planned.. 6.6 seconds? perfect collapse? ignored by corporate media.. NO WAY! it's literally humorous to see people try to explain this away..
no part of the 9/11 fairy tale is true or hold up to scrutiny.. but, WTC 7? it truly is one of the smoking guns.. i'm glad someone started the thread on this subject..
Jennings, and Mike Hess, New York’s corporation counsel and a good buddy of then mayor Rudolph Giuliani, went to the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) on the 23rd floor of WTC 7, but when they arrived found the office evacuated, a situation at odds with the whitewash report. "After the South Tower was hit [at 9:03], OEM senior leadership decided to remain in its ‘bunker’ and continue conducting operations, even though all civilians had been evacuated from 7 WTC," the report states (Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, pp. 305). The whitewash commission’s description runs counter to a report published in The London Independent on September 13, 2001, indicating that Jennings and Hess arrived at the OEM by the time the South Tower was hit, indicating the center was evacuated earlier than officially claimed.
After his trip, Obama's numbers will begin to slip and he'll never catch up to McCain again not even after the convention. Too much is at stake to entrust to a total newcomer without any prior diplomatic ties. Most people in America will soon understand this very well and will vote accordingly.
