Welcome to Our Infamous GuestBook Page :
" WHERE SECRETS ARE REVEALED "
With the
emergence of the New Year, we have seen the launch of a plan to bring
forth a single global currency. The first I saw on this was when I was
sent a link to the following interview - http://www.cmn.tv/news/new-world-currency/ . I encourage you to watch it before reading the rest of what I have to say.
What you
will have seen here is a message packaged as one of hope and freedom,
delivered by people and through a channel that I, and I suspect you,
would judge to be dedicated to the freedom and enlightenment of
humanity. Certainly, I would say this is true of the interviewer from
cmn.tv and perhaps also the one delivering the message.
This
message has been carefully packaged to appeal to the fears and sense of
powerlessness that so many that have begun to recognise the abuses in
this world are feeling. It promises debt forgiveness in a time when most
people have significant personal debt and most economies also carry
massive sovereign debt. It also acknowledges the “bad guys”, the New
World Order crew, saying this isn’t coming from them. Well, that’s a
relief…
However I see something very different. I see a massive con job being sold here.
This is
the sell job on the world currency. David Icke calls it “Problem,
Reaction, Solution”. Forgiveness of debt is the carrot, and all the rest
of this stuff about addressing the world’s problems is a con job. The
debt is fictitious, fiat money and can never be repaid, so what does it
cost them to forgive it? Nothing. That’s why they fostered it in the
first place. These people have a long term view. They give up on the
little things to achieve the bigger ones in the long term. They’re
willing to forgive debt to achieve a single world currency, to fix
people’s short term pain for their long term gain.
If you have not yet watched “Thrive” http://www.thrivemovement.com/ (DVD available from http://goo.gl/bGsS3 ), I encourage you to do so. It provides an important context for what we are seeing here.
I want
you to compare this message about a New World Currency to what happened
at 9/11. They are completely different approaches for the different
objectives, but the model is the same model. Problem, Reaction,
Solution. Begin to understand how sophisticated these people are. Man
this is slick!!!
One
world currency is NOT about liberation, and doesn’t work economically
for the participants. We have already seen this with the Euro. Those
driving this don’t care if they destroy state sovereignty and economics.
They want that and they want complete control of everyone, with their
ability to just cut off your access to the one world currency if you
don’t play ball. With the press of a button, you are completely
financially isolated, whether you are an individual, a company or a
country.
These
people think in terms of decades and centuries, not months and years.
They plan long term and create issues that they can then offer a
solution to that moves their agenda forward.
I
encourage you to evaluate this carefully for yourselves, and if you
agree with Carolyn’s and my view on this, do everything in your power to
alert others to what I see as a massive con job.
Under SOPA, you could get 5 years for uploading a Michael Jackson song, one year more than the doctor who killed him.
All About PIPA and SOPA, the Bills That Want to Censor Your Internet
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act
(PIPA) are two bills that sound like they have a mildly positive aim
but, in reality, have serious potential to negatively change the
internet as we know it. While the Obama administration has come out against SOPA,
effectively shelving it indefinitely, the very similar PIPA bill is
still alive and well. Both SOPA and PIPA put power in the hands of the
entertainment industry to censor sites that allegedly "engage in, enable
or facilitate" copyright infringement. This language is vague enough to
target sites you use every day, like Facebook and Google, making these
bills a serious problem. Here's what you need to know about the bills
and what you can do about them.
What Are SOPA and PIPA All ABout, and Why Should I Care?
The idea behind these bills sounds reasonable. They came about in
order to try and snuff out piracy online, as the entertainment industry
is obviously not excited that many people are downloading their products
without payment or permission. The issue is, however, that it doesn't
really matter whether you're in support of piracy, against it, or just
don't care. The methods are ineffective. Here's what they are and why
they're problematic.
SOPA
and PIPA were initially designed to do two things. The first was to
make it possible for companies to block the domain names of web sites
that are simply capable of, or seem to encourage copyright infringement.
This would have been bad for everyonebecause such a measure
doesn't actually prevent piracy. The reason that blocking a domain name
isn't effective is because any blocked site can still be accessed via
its numeric IP address. For example, if lifehacker.com were blocked, you
could still find it by visiting a number-based address. In fact, before
the bills were even supposed to come to a vote, tools were created to automatically route domain names to their IP addresses
to completely render this measure of SOPA and PIPA useless. As a
result, the IP-blocking provisions have been removed from both bills.
The other, still-active measure present in the SOPA and PIPA bills
would allow rights holders to cut of the source of funding of any
potentially infringing web site. This means any other companies doing
business with this site would have to stop. Whether that means
advertising, links in search engines, or any other listings would have
to be removed.
There is, however, an important difference between SOPA and PIPA.
SOPA targeted any site that contributed to copyright infringement, even
if it was simply facilitating the act by providing a tool that could be
used for illegal purposes (regardless of intention). PIPA, on the other
hand, requires the targeted site to have no significant use beyond
copyright infringement. Basically, PIPA can only be used to censor a
site if it's more likely to be a source of illegal content than not.
This is still problematic because a tool designed to accept
user-generated content is, to some extent, at the whims of its users. If
infringing content is found, rights holders already have the Digital Millenium Copyright Act
(DMCA) to help them request the legal removal of that content. They
also have the ability to sue infringers for damages, as we've previously
seen with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) when
they, for example, sued a 12-year-old for downloading music.
SOPA and PIPA provide a means to censor the tool that provided a means
for the infringing content to exist on the internet rather than the
content itself. This puts a lot of power in the hands of rights holders
and has significant potential for abuse.
We here at stingraysstudios.com oppose the proposed legislation, as World Copyright Law already exists which allows us to not only stop you from stealing our property, but also provides that we can take EVERYTHING YOU OWN as compensation for your action, so we just send some "dudes" over to your house or business, take whatever we want and leave you with your head jammed way up your ass !!...that works for us !
While
the mass media largely ignored the issue of the greatest threat we've
yet encountered to the free and open internet, many tens-of-thousands of
websites rallied
together in protest and left a very clear message with lawmakers to stay
off our internet and to keep it free for all mankind.
Despite
the overwhelming and extraordinary response of the people against these
bills, they are not yet dead. And despite an announcement that SOPA was to be shelved, it has been announced that the SOPA markup is set to resume in February. The Senate Cloture Vote on PROTECT IP is still set to go ahead on January 24th. $94 million
was spent lobbying congress to get the bills written, and you can bet
they're not going to just forget about it. Nevertheless, our voice has
been heard and support for these two bills has been rapidly shrinking.
And
today, when Google asked its users to sign a petition protesting two
anti-piracy laws circulating in Congress, millions responded.
A spokeswoman for Google confirmed that 4.5 million people added their names to the company's anti-SOPA petition today.
Not too shabby.
The
petition, which was available via a link from Google's homepage, states
that although fighting online piracy is important, the plan of attack
described in the SOPA and
PIPA bills would be ineffective.
WASHINGTON
— When the powerful world of old media mobilized to win passage of an
online antipiracy bill, it marshaled the reliable giants of K Street —
the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Recording Industry
Association of America and, of course, the motion picture lobby, with
its new chairman, former Senator Christopher J. Dodd, the Connecticut
Democrat and an insider’s insider.
Yet on Wednesday this
formidable old guard was forced to make way for the new as Web
powerhouses backed by Internet activists rallied opposition to the
legislation through Internet blackouts and cascading criticism, sending
an unmistakable message to lawmakers grappling with new media issues: Don’t mess with the Internet.
...& speaking of the "Old Economy" :
We wanted to share with you the news: this afternoon the Obama
Administration announced that they are denying the permit for the
Keystone XL pipeline. You did good work, against some of the longest possible odds.
For years, the knock on the President Obama was that he backed down too easily in the face of opposition. Not here. When
Republicans in Congress forced the issue again by passing a 60-day time
limit on the President's final decision, he stood strong and denied the
permit. And that was despite the most explicit threats from
Big Oil: that they would exact ‘huge political consequences’ if he did
the right thing on Keystone. Make no mistake—this is a brave decision.
And
make no mistake about this either—Big Oil will do everything it can to
overturn that decision, because they are not used to losing.
They have one weapon—money. They’ve used it to buy the allegiance of
many Representatives and Senators and now they’ll use Congress to try
and get their dirty work done. That’s what happened when the President
delayed the permit last November, and we should expect them to try again
now.
That’s why we’re going to Congress and Big Oil, beginning next Tuesday the 24th.
If you can join us, we’re meeting at noon on the West Lawn, and you
should wear a referee’s shirt. We’re going to ‘blow the whistle’ on the
corruption that passes for business as usual on Capitol Hill, where
people take money from companies whose interests they vote on. If this
happened at the Super Bowl it would be a national scandal; we’ve got to
make sure it’s seen that way in our political life too. We know it’s
short notice, but we hope we can get at least 500 people there. Not to
get arrested, at least not this time, but to make quite a noise.
We’ll
be fighting to prevent Keystone, but we’ll also be fighting to shut off
the flow of handouts to the oil, gas, and coal industries, and to take
away their right to use the atmosphere as an open sewer into which to
dump their carbon for free. This industry, simply because it is rich,
has been cosseted too long. Time to fight back.
What
you’ve done these past eight months is quite amazing—and against all
the odds. We’ve won no permanent victory (environmentalists never do)
but we have shown that spirited people can bring science back to the
fore. Blocking one pipeline was never going to stop global
warming—but it is a real start, one of the first times in the two-decade
fight over climate change when the fossil fuel lobby has actually lost.
Rest
assured they’ll fight like heck—their world-record profits depend on
it. We better fight just as hard, because the world depends on it.
Michael Savage Offers Newt Gingrich One Million Dollars To Drop Out Of Race
First Posted: 12/12/11 04:31 PM ETUpdated: 12/13/11 04:11 AM ET
Conservative radio host Michael Savage has offered Newt Gingrich $1 million to drop out of the Republican primary race.
Savage posted the announcement on his website, and will go over the specific terms during his radio show on Monday.
He wrote that the Republican primary race has come down to two
candidates: Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. He said that Romney was the
only candidate capable of beating President Barack Obama in the general
election. Therefore, he has offered Gingrich $1 million to "drop out of
the presidential race for the sake of the nation."
Savage, who hosts the third-highest rated radio program in the
country, outlined the reasons why he believed Gingrich was incapable of
beating Obama. In addition to his marital infidelity, checkered past as Speaker of the House, and involvement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,
Savage wrote that Gingrich "will come off badly compared to Obama"
during presidential debates. Savage wrote that he will "look like
nothing more than what he is: a fat old white man."
In order to claim his prize, Gingrich must drop out of the race within 72-hours. Savage urged Gingrich to "take the money."
^ WE HAVE ALL SEEN THIS HAPPEN EVERY DAY !
THE "COPS" GO SPEEDING AROUND AND...NOTHING HAPPENS !
YOU AND I WOULD GET A "SPEEDING" TICKET IF WE DROVE THAT WAY
BUT...NOT THE POLICE THEY CAN SPEED ALL THEY WANT....
FOR NO REASON AT ALL !!!!
WHY DO "COPS" THINK THEY CAN SPEED ?
(because they are social parasites ...???)
OCCUPY WALL STREET HAS CREATED
CRIMINALS WHO ARE EXERCISING THE RIGHTS OF FREEDOM TO ENDORSE THE WORLDWIDE REVOLT EXPRESSING THAT PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE FED UP WITH THE INEQUALITY OF WEALTH :
" PEOPLE MATTER FIRST...NOT CORPORATIONS "
SO YEAH, THAT WORKS AS NOBODY REALLY NEEDS A FASCIST COUNTRY BUT,...
HOW ABOUT OCCUPY THE BANKS AS THEY ARE THE COMPANIES WHO HOLD ALL YOUR MONEY...SO,
WTF ? ARREST PEOPLE WHO ENABLED THE BANKS TO COMMIT TREASON
TO BETRAY & WEAKEN THE U.S.A :
THEY ARE TRAITORS, HANG 'EM
^ Yes, as CIA Director & President, I betrayed America & YOU "
Under Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution, any person who levies
war against the United States or adheres to its enemies by giving them aid and comfort has committed treason within the meaning of the Constitution. The term aid and comfort
refers to any act that manifests a betrayal of allegiance to the United
States, such as furnishing enemies with arms, troops, transportation,
shelter, or classified information.
If a subversive act has any tendency
toweaken the power of the United States to attack or resist its
enemies, aid and comfort has been given.
IS YOUR HOME BEING FORECLOSED ?
...EVEN AFTER YOU CONTINUED TO MAKE PAYMENTS THE BANK HAS CASHED ?
WE HAVE THE SOLUTION TO STOP THE BANKS !
READ BELOW ON HOW TO NEVER PAY ANOTHER PENNY TO THE BANK FOR YOUR MORTGAGE AND GET A CLEAR TITLE TO YOUR HOME FROM A WRONGFUL SUMMARY JUDGEMENT...
WE SHOW YOU ACTUAL CASE DOCUMENT FILINGS THAT YOU CAN USE TO SAVE YOUR HOME, STOP FORECLOSURES AND GET PAID CASH FROM THE MORTGAGE BANK TOO :
Document Disclosures Reveal CHASE BANK Guilty of Federal Criminal Mortgage and Insurance Fraud :
Case in Point ; At this time Chase Bank
has defrauded this "customer" by deliberately returning mortgage check
payments to place the property in "default"...so as NOT to escrow and
distribute an Insurance Check issued to repair the home from "storm
damages".
This is the "Technique" used by Major Banks to allow them to "confiscate" YOUR HOME.
What has been done in this case to STOP the criminal theft of the
homeowner was to contact the Department of Justice and deliver the
entire "case file" to them for prosecution, and a placement of a
"Contractor Lien" on the property for repairs which has precedence in
Court of Law as a "First Payment" from the sale of the home, thus
negating any gain from the Bank foreclosing upon the property...as they
get little or NOTHING if the value of the lien is more than the current
owed amount of the mortgage, as is the case in this present case...;

Chase Home Finance, LLC
Loss Drafts Department
2405 Commerce Avenue
Building 2000, Suite 100
Duluth, GA. 30096
Chase Bank,
This letter is to inform
you that Chase Bank is liable for unlawful Violations pertaining to
Mortgage and Insurance Fraud Laws, due to actions related to the account
of XXXXXXX, which have resulted in severe criminal actions by Chase
Bank regarding the handling of the fiduciary responsibility assigned in
this matter.
A complete intelligence
investigation is now being conducted and the file contents sent to the
Department of Justice,.Fraud Division for criminal prosecution. The case
in point here relates to the total failure of Chase Bank to execute, as
required by Law, regarding the escrow and the subsequent payment to
XXXXXXX, for repairs as specified in a Insurance Draft Check issued for
such purposes as previously delivered to Chase Bank for escrow and
disbursement..
The circumstances created
by these actions on behalf of Chase Bank require a strong and stiff
penalty for the total disregard of Lawful conduct in these type of
matters. Indeed the series of documented actions by Chase Bank provide
ALL the evidence needed to convict on several main charges ;
1.) Insurance Fraud.
a.) Chase Bank Failed to escrow Insurance Draft within a reasonable time after delivery.
b.) Chase representative
offered to apply Insurance funds to Mortgage payments, claiming the
Mortgage was in default, which was subsequently exposed as a boldface
lie, in that the payments as agreed were all up to date at the time the
Insurance check was delivered to Chase Loss Draft Department for escrow.
c.) Chase Bank returned the
Insurance Check after cashing Mortgage payments from XXXXXXX, which
such fabricated failure to make such payments, were the “false
justification” used to deny the establishment of the required escrow
account..
d.) Chase unlawfully denied
escrow of the check draft as issued by the Insurance Company, by
claiming the fraudulent reasons as outlined above, resulting in failure
of payment to the intended contractors to effect repairs and the
placement of Contractor Lien issuance upon the property owned by
XXXXXXX.
These violations would be
severe enough to prosecute Chase Bank for the complete ignorance of
Federal Requirements pertaining to Insurance Fraud laws, but the crimes
are more...
2.) Mortgage Fraud
a.) Chase Bank claimed that
the Mortgage was in “default”, proven NOT to be the case on the date
surrounding the delivery of the Insurance Draft Check.
b.) Chase Bank cashed
payments after the delivery date of the Insurance Check, which by
acceptance provides “execution of acceptance” by Chase and further
documentation that indeed there was NO DEFAULT in the mortgage of
XXXXXXX, as all the payments were current.
c.) Chase Bank sent a
fraudulent statement letter, claiming default within weeks of cashing
the current mortgage payment from XXXXXXX, when in fact the mortgage was
current and accepted by Chase on the terms as agreed at that time.
d.) Chase did cash mortgage
payment checks from XXXXXXX AFTER the date which Chase Bank claimed the
“Default” to have occurred...and AFTER receipt of the Insurance check
intended for escrow.
e.) Chase Bank returned the
following month’s Mortgage payment checks from XXXXXXX, to “Force” a
default condition in the status of the Mortgage, thus creating a
“factitious” reason to justify the PAST actions by the Bank regarding
this return, stating that they had “terminated” the current conditions
of the Mortgage and as well to “cover” the Bank’s failure to escrow the
Insurance Check as required by Law.
f.) Chase Bank has failed
to deliver Tax Statements to XXXXXXX regarding interest paid on Mortgage
Payments during 2010, in itself a Federal Violation of Tax Code
practice.
Taken as a “Complete
Picture”, the combined effect of Chase Bank’s actions are clearly
Criminal in intent, in that they desired to apply the funds from the
Insurance Check to Mortgage payments, thus reconciling the total amount
as previously owed, prior to the prior agreement to alter such monthly
scheduled payments from XXXXXXX, who has always provided such payments
under all conditions in a timely manner as agreed. The application of
Insurance Funds to Mortgage payments is expressly denied in the issuance
of the draft by the Insurance Company, who specifies that these funds
are to be applied to the repair of the property exclusively.
Furthermore, Chase Bank is
now liable for the payment of ALL funds related to the TOTAL expenses of
repair to the property, as already undertaken by contracted personnel,
and the complete satisfaction of the Contractor Lien, as well as the
fees owed to the Insurance Adjustor, and any and all additional costs,
expenses, fines, legal costs, court fees, criminal and civil penalties
as are appropriate to the circumstances as created by Chase Bank in
defiance of Federal, State and Local laws.
Chase Bank is hereby
ordered to Cease and Desist on any and all attempts to collect,
foreclose or trespass upon the property of XXXXXXX, located at
VVVVVVVVVVVV. All such claim to a Mortgage on the aforementioned
property is herewith forfeited and is to be terminated in a Court of Law
with prejudice presently.
It is the specific intent
herein to hold Chase Bank accountable for all violations, actions and
costs related to this matter, prosecute all individuals involved, and
publicize the facts of this case to inform the public of the ongoing
practices of Fraud being committed by Chase Bank.
We would advise you to
Govern yourselves accordingly, and make every effort possible to
reconcile the blatant violations outlined in this letter immediately.
Further let it be known that any and all legal representations which
Chase Bank may hire to “defend” themselves in this matter will also be
held liable for conspiring to commit Mortgage and Insurance Fraud, and
their assets will be “at risk” for satisfaction of the crimes,
violations and all costs outlined herein, as well as additional criminal
and /or civil charges which may be applied.
We welcome your intelligent
response from a responsible officer of Chase Bank and look forward to a
complete resolution, which in addition of the forfeiture and
termination of ALL Mortgage Agreements will include the completion of
all payments for the violations, compensations, contract and legal fees,
imprisonment, Federal, State and Civil penalties as set forth by law,
damages, recompense, and other related costs as outlined herein.
Sincerely,
AAAAAAAA

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT in response to an assumed foreclosure filing during the month of 1 / 2010 as alleged to have been filed by Plaintiff, and in an assumption ofa direct answer thereof to a filing as found to be dated 2/2/2010 :
The Defendant dose Hereby petition the Court to Dismiss such filing which was based upon the case of ; Jordan vs. Sayre 24 Fla. 1, 3 So.329 which states : “ 5. - The Obligor(s) have made no valid tender of payment of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage and have not reinstated the Mortgage Note and Mortgage “ Which with respect to the circumstance of this case constitutes a “False and Fraudulent Filing” in that a Criminal Misrepresentation was committed by the Plaintiff and theirLegal Consul by knowingly filing a fraudulent claim against the property of xxxxx who has and continued to tender payment on terms as agreed, executed and accepted by performance on part of the Plaintiff, negating the Entire premise of the filing.
Furthermore : We petition the court to enforce an immediate all encompassing Cease and Desist Order (with respect to a full review by the Department of Justice for Criminal Fraud Violations of Federal Insurance and Banking Laws as allegedly committed by the Plaintiff in this case, and Furthermore to issue a Final Summary Judgement with Prejudice against the Plaintiff under the guidelines of evidence outlined : and further to issue arrest warrantsfor ALL such individuals of JP Morgan Chase ( to be determined.) and Legal Consul ( Florida Default Law Group P.L. (Ashely M. Whitney)& Professional Recovery Services, Inc (John Crosby) for participating in this Criminal Fraud Action against the Defendant as detailed in the following:
We ask the Court to Grant this request for the Order(s) as follows:
MOTION TO DISMISS IN ENTIRETY ALL OF PLAINTIFF’S FILINGS, to further ORDER A CEASE & DESIST FROM ALL FURTHER ACTION BY THE PLAINTIFF AGAINST THE DEFENDANT, and to PROVIDE A SUMMARY JUDGEMENT WITH PREJUDICE AGAINST THE PLAINTIFF as well as ISSUE AN ARREST WARRANT AGAINST THE PLAINTIFF FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED AS COMMITTING FRAUD & TRESPASS. ( as may be conjoined in a D.O.J. investigation. ) * see attachments
WE are asking the Court for the following;
A.) Dismiss the Illegal Foreclosure Filing of2/2/2010. As the Plaintiff did continue to accept and cash mortgage payments as made by the Defendant, by which in doing so constitutes acceptance in the performance of execution to the terms as agreed between the Parties. If indeed the Plaintiff desires to file a Foreclosure action, it must be posted with a date following a reasonable time period of no payments from the Defendant, and as the Plaintiff has elected to return payments made by the Defendant, they must obviously be acknowledging the Debt THEY OWE to the Defendant for filing a False Civil Action, and committing a Criminal Action of Fraud which entitles the Plaintiff to provide to the Defendant compensations as outlined herein.
B.)Enforce a Cease and Desist Order against the Plaintiff in filing a Foreclosure Action, and in all attempts to collect a debt or Trespassing upon the property located at XXXX XXXX, XXXX, xxx xxxxxx, in possible conjunction with a pending a review by the Department of Justice for Federal Criminal Fraud actions as alleged to have been committed by the Plaintiff against the Defendant herewith *( copy of this motion is sent to the D.O.J. as our report review )
C.)Require that the Plaintiff provides Discovery Materials related to ALL activity, including every internal memo(s), Postal Mail, Fax and Email correspondence, legal requests, taped telephone conversations, et al to the Defendant directly within 30 days from the date above (which we reserve the right to use as may be required by D.O.J. prosecution proceedings).
D.) Conjoin ALL mortgage instruments as administrated, owned and/or assigned to Plaintiff related to the property and Defendant under the exact same conditions as requested above herein.
E.)Issue a Final Summary Judgement with Prejudice against the Plaintiff for All costs, expense and equity as was“put at risk” (estimated to be a minimum of $150,000.00)by the attempts to file a fraudulent foreclosure and justify insurance fraud upon the Defendant’s owned property in direct violation of Constitutional Rights, Federal and State Laws and Common Decency.
F.) We ask the Court to demand that the Plaintiff provide the payment of the sum of Nine Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Eight Dollars and Forty One Cents ( $9, 458.41) to XXXX Public Adjusting Corporation, XXXX, XXXX, Fl., XXX.
G.) Weask the Court to demand that the Plaintiff identify specific individuals and insist upon the Arrest & Imprisonment of those individuals who illegally trespassed upon the property based upon an assumption purported by a False Fraudulent Filing on part of the Plaintiff.
H.) Allow the Defendant to “perfect” this motion under further guidance of Legal Consul and to make further amendments to this filing as may be deemed needed, if any.
We ask the Court for ALL of these requests because:
A.)The Plaintiff did execute acceptance by performance in cashing mortgage payments from the Defendant on terms as agreed between the parties form 1 /2010 until 11 / 2010 to entirely resolve any and all such previous dispute(s) related to the Mortgage(s) as held by Defendant.
B.)The Plaintiff did in 10 / 2010 violate the fiduciary responsibility to escrow and endorse an Insurance Payment Draft Check made payable to the Defendant, Insurance Adjustor ( Ameriloss Public Adjustors ), and the original Mortgage holder ( Washington Mutual Bank).
C.)The Plaintiff did in letter form offer to violate Federal Law by assigning said Insurance Check to payment of the Mortgage, under a False Claim that there was a Default in mortgage payments, which was IN FACT proven NOT to be the True Fact as admitted by the Plaintiff.
D. ) The Plaintiff did violate Federal Law by refusing to escrow and endorse the said Insurance Payment and returning the draft to the Defendant without cause, Furthermore the Plaintiff’s representative3did state that as of 2 / 2011 they are willing to escrow said draft, as even if a foreclosure is in process they are NOT prohibited and CAN endorse, escrow & distribute such funds under a “self Contractor basis” to the homeowner. Unfortunately, the home owner in this instance has already taken the burden & expense to repair and improve the property “out of pocket” and in consideration of the Gross Violation by the Plaintiff in this instance must demand adequate compensation and damages for both the adjustor as well as the contracted work on the property, which has exceeded the sum of the Insurance draft check.
E.)The Plaintiff did subsequently send a notice of “Forced” default on the Mortgage to the defendant, dated in the Month of 10 / 2010 and following such notice continued to cash mortgage payments as made by the Defendantconstituting a clear criminal fraud violation of Federal Mortgage Law.
F.)During 11 / 2010 the Plaintiff did in order to “Force” a default return mortgage payments made by the Defendant as was paid under the agreed and accepted terms. This post dates the alleged Foreclosure filing by nearly One (1 )Year, during which time the Plaintiff accepted ALL payments as made by the Defendant.
G.) In the Month of2 / 2011 the Plaintiff failed to make Insurance payments to the Defendant’s Home Insurance Company after receiving such notice to do so and pay the invoice as should be expected from funds already collected by the Plaintiff by payments made on behalf of the Defendant, a portion of which is supposed to be in escrow as intended to secure such existing property Insurance. Plaintiff subsequently added a more expensive policy to the property in direct violation of the Defendant’s demand to pay the existing Insurance policy from proceeds as previously paid.
H.)In the month of 4 / 2011 the Plaintiff used the exact same “forced default” tactic to disavow knowledge regarding payments made by the Defendant to the 2nd Mortgage, after One (1) year of continuous payments, stating they have no record of all such payments, yet returning a mortgage payment check, this is tantamount to Treason in the USA, for a bank to steal property from Homeowners that have paid, continue to pay, have the ability to pay and willingness to continue to pay after 20 or more years of payments. This is part of the justification as to why I ask for Summary Judgement with Prejudice against the Plaintiff at this time.
I.) As of the date herewith the Plaintiff continues to violate the Cease and Desist letter as sent by the Defendant, and has trespassed upon the property several times, and in the last instance leaving a note to call “today”, ...with such number that is illegible which construes continuing Felonious Harassment in the face of previous Criminal Action perpetrated by the Plaintiff and all such individuals thereof. (copy of said note attached as evidence). This is the BEST the World’s Largest’s Bank can afford, a note that is unreadable taped to the door of a Homeowners Property. It is then High Time that this “Criminal Operation” be brought down and prosecuted for the Deliberate, Intentional and Traitorous Actions against the Individual Citizens of the U.S.A.
J.) The Plaintiff continues (and can be expected to) and has demonstrated INCOMPETENCE and total disregard for the Law, in the coordination of these matters, showing an arrogance as well as deliberate intent by “strategic plan” to defy, subvert, and abuse the Law of the Land, and ALL common decency by taking away the “American Dream” of hard earned home ownership from customers who have paid loan payments for several decades or more and now find that they MUST Fight for the Right to Own what they have paid for against a Worldwide Criminal Organization known as JP Morgan Chase Bank...that is pathetic and the Prime Reason I ask for a Summary Judgement WITH PREJUDICE against the Plaintiff at this time.
We are attaching the following documents or affidavits, if any, that support this request:
A.) The entire documentary package on this case as sent to the Department of Justice.
B.) Defendant reserves the right to supply additional documentation as appropriate.
I have read this document. To the best of my knowledge, information and belief the information contained in this document is well grounded in fact and is warranted by existing law.
I have not been determined by any court in Florida or in any other State to be a frivolous litigant or subject to an Order precluding me from serving and filing this document.
I am not serving or filing this document for any improper purpose, such as to harass the other party or to cause delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation or to commit a fraud on the court.
I understand that if I am not telling the truth or if I am misleading the court or if I am serving or filing this document for any improper purpose, the court can order me to pay money to the other party, including the reasonable expenses incurred by the other party because of the serving or filing of this document such as court costs, and reasonable attorney fees.
...But, THAT is NOT going to be the case here as EVERYTHING REPRESENTED herein is backed by TRUE Fact, and we will NOT rest until the stated objectives are accomplished, regardless of all considerations...
WE WILL “STICK TO OUR GUNS” and ANYTHING LESS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Please SEE attached Documents as supporting evidence.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York Timothy Geithner to the position.
More Evidence that proves CHASE BANK guilty of Fraud :
PACKAGING OF WAMU AND CHASE MORTGAGES SOLD TO VARIOUS "INVESTMENT" GROUPS WITH NO "OWNERS" ;
“The basic problem is that a huge number
of American domestic and business mortgages, (50 million by conservative
estimate) are sliced up, put into ‘investment packages’
and sold to customers both domestic and foreign.
This results in the frightening fact that the holders of mortgages,
so chopped and packed, are not possible to identify by MERS or anyone
else, at any time and by any agency.
This means that any property holder, be they a domestic home owner or
a business owner, is paying their monthly fees for property they can
never own.
Because of the diversity of the packaging, it is totally and
completely impossible to ascertain what person or organization owns a
specific mortgage and as a result, a clear title to MERS-controlled
property is impossible to get at any time, even if a mortgage is fully
paid.
No person or entity, has been or never can be, identified who can
come forward and legally release the lien on the property once the loan is paid.
In short, MERS conceals this fact from the public with the
not-unreasonable assumption that by the time the owner of the home or
business discovers that they have only been paying rent on property they
can never get clear title to, all the primary parties; the banks, the
government agencies, the mortgage companies, or the title companies,
will be dead and gone.
MERS is set up to guarantee this fact but, gradually, little by
little, mostly by word of mouth, the public is beginning to realize that
their American dream of owning a house is nothing but a sham and a
delusion.”

...AND JP MORGAN CHASE IS NOT THE ONLY SCUM :
Citigroup settles charges of misleading investors
The charges relate to a product sold in 2007
Citigroup is paying $285m (£180m) to settle civil fraud charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC said that Citigroup misled investors when it invited them to invest in a product based on US mortgage debt.
It said that Citigroup did not inform investors that it was
betting on the value of the investment falling or that it had chosen the
assets itself.
Citigroup settled without admitting or denying the charges.
Credit Suisse was also involved in the the transaction and
has paid $2.5m to settle the case, also without admitting or denying the
charges.
The SEC said that Citigroup built a collateralised debt obligation, or CDO, made up of about $1bn of home loans in 2007.
It alleges that Citigroup sold the CDO to investors, but took
a short position itself, betting that the value of the assets would
fall.
"The securities laws demand that investors receive more care
and candour than Citigroup provided to these CDO investors," said Robert
Khuzami from the SEC.
"Investors were not informed that Citigroup had decided to
bet against them and had helped choose the assets that would determine
who won or lost."
The CDO defaulted within months, leaving the approximately 15
investors facing losses while Citigroup made $160m in fees and trading
profits.
Konstantinos Alexopoulos Suing BofA For Giving Away His Account To Man With Same Name
First Posted: 11/17/11 11:16 AM ETUpdated: 11/17/11 02:31 PM ET
One man is suing Bank of America after the company allegedly handed over his account to another customer with the same name.
Konstantinos Alexopoulos opened up an account at Barnett Bank -- which was ultimately acquired by BofA -- in 1992 when he came to the United States for college, the Tampa Tribune
reports. He returned to Greece in 1997 and continued making deposits to
the account totaling $59,000 in 2003, but when he checked his balance
in 2005, it had dwindled to $1,400.
If Alexopoulos' claims hold up in court, it would be far from the first BofA mix-up. The bank also gave the same 10-digit account number to two customers in Riverside, California, according to a July report by the Los Angeles Times.
One of the customers -- an 88-year old World War II veteran -- ended up
losing out on $30,000 worth of social security payments as a result.
After an investigation by the San Bernardino County district attorney's
office, he ultimately got the money back.
In September it was reported that a Hawaiian woman sued BofA after she received computer-generated calls as often as every 15 minutes from the bank over a missed mortgage payment, while she was grieving for her recently deceased husband.

There's no such thing as 'social media revolution'
There seems to be a contingent out there that analyzes each of the
globe's various political conflicts and attempts to figure out, through
plenty of speculation and the occasional Wikipedia look-ups of far-flung
sovereignties, which uprising will mark the first true "social media
revolution."
A dictator toppled by Twitter or ousted through the efforts of a
Facebook group? It's an enticing idea, particularly for those who are in
the business of social media and have a personal stake of sorts in
tallying each instance of social media's global value making headlines.
Twitter punditry this week has been peppered with speculation about
whether upheaval in Tunisia or the subsequent anti-government protests in Egypt
might amount to the "first" true revolution spawned by social media.
But this just isn't the right way to measure things: the occurrence of a
"social media revolution," at this point, should be neither noteworthy
nor remarkable. If a dictator is overthrown or a government ousted, it
would be notable if Facebook or Twitter weren't used.
That's because social media is a part of the world we live in and has
become such a crucial form of communication that it will factor into
any political movement nearly anywhere in the world. In other words, the
use of Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube should not be what's worth talking
about. At this point, it takes away from the substance of the
revolution (or lack thereof) itself.
This sort of rhetoric has been going on for nearly two years when an anti-government uprising in Iran
swelled up through Twitter and, as a result of traditional media
crackdowns, became the primary medium in which much of the world knew
about what was going on in the Islamic nation. The activists' efforts
ultimately had far less impact on the government than many of the
breathless Twitter observers expected, and for too many of them it's now
known as the movement in which everyone tinted their Twitter profile
photos with green as a sign of solidarity (which now seems awfully
passive). This, alas, wasn't "the social media revolution." And so the
pundits moved on.
So let's look at the basic numbers. Facebook has more than 600 million
users around the world, an inarguable lock on the mainstream in much of
the world and significant penetration even in the countries where it
doesn't have as much reach. Twitter is about one-third its size, though
its most active users tend to be more in the vein of newshounds and
culture fans than FarmVille players and vacation photo swappers--which
may be the reason why the smaller Twitter is as important, if not more
so, than Facebook in political activism. Both social media services are
actively looking to expand their reach in developing countries,
particularly Facebook, which has launched mobile sites and applications geared to lower-end cell phones and slower connections.
The truth is that smaller elements of "social media revolution" have
been all around us already for over half a decade--even in our own,
comparatively humdrum political system in which "revolution" means a
switch in the partisan balance of a governing body accompanied by plenty
of red-and-blue news-ticker graphics on cable networks. George Allen, a
Republican senator from Virginia, was in a tight race for re-election
in 2006 until a video from a campaign rally surfaced on YouTube
in which he called one of his opponent's campaign staff volunteers by a
bizarre epithet that turned out to be a racial slur of sorts. The video
went viral, Allen lost, and his "macaca moment" has been widely
highlighted as the source of his downfall--in spite of the presence of
countless strategists, publicists, and glossy campaign ads, social
media's power prevailed.
Yes, social media can lead to the improbable rise of leaders who
otherwise might never have had a shot. Without Meetup and the readership
of liberal blogs, former Vermont governor Howard Dean might never have
had a shot at the Democratic presidential nomination (which, of course,
he lost). In 2008, Barack Obama's campaign team's digital savviness was a
crucial component in the candidate's popularity among young voters who
heavily favored him at the polls. Two years after Obama's inauguration,
these things should no longer surprise us--nor should we be surprised
that, yes, social media is a vital instrument in political change all
over the world.
That's the way things are in an age full of widely accessible yet
largely uncontrolled media, in which the barrier to entry for any
individual has been vastly lowered and the potential power of an
organized mass can impact longstanding establishments. These
technological developments have been groundbreaking. But they are not
new. And "revolutionaries," whoever they may be, will use social media
as an expanded set of tools for the tasks that have always been and
remain the most crucial to activists: amassing support, communicating
with like-minded people, and spreading the word. The tactics haven't
changed. It's just that the available channels of communication have
expanded.
Where it does get interesting, social media-wise, is where and when
governments choose to crack down. On Tuesday evening, Twitter finally
confirmed that Egypt was blocking access to its service after initially
refusing to comment on the matter directly, but there were no reports on
attempts to control Facebook or any other grassroots organization tool.
This sort of thing provides some insight into what a government sees as
its biggest digital threats and how it attempts to control and dissuade
opposition forces. But the real focus ought to be on what's being said.
The real meat of a political uprising is the message itself, and hype
about digital media's impact on it all should be well enough accepted by
now that it shouldn't take over the limelight.
And should that successful "social media revolution" come along, I
hope the digerati gives the successful activists some credit: If they
topple a dictator, the real reason isn't that Facebook Groups made it
possible for them to organize or because they generated a clever Twitter
hashtag. Social media has changed the world, but by no means does it
provide a substitute for the human energy and willpower that can bring
down governments and cause global reverberations. Let's focus on
understanding what really happens.
...SO, NOW YOU HAVE "FREEDOM"...AND THE BIG BANKS ARE READY TO FUCK YOU OVER EVERY WAY YOU TURN !!
WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD YOU STUPID DUMBASS !
....AND YOUR WILLING TO DIE FOR THIS ?....WOW !!!
REPUBLICAN REVOLUTION OR ROBBERY ? ...Mr. Banor, WHERE ARE THE JOBS ?

...AND HOW DID THEY GET SO RICH, WELL WE CAN JUST LOOK AT THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA : AMERICA TAKES A "FREE FALL"
...ONCE AGAIN....
Editorial on the 2010 Nov, 2nd Elections :
1. If your an Immigrant to the USA that thinks you have a chance at a "Better Life" here in the USA...Go HOME !!
2. If your a "White Middle Class" American...You are seriously Fucked Over. Sell your house, Buy a boat and declare yourself a "3rd World Country".
3. If your a "Black American" hoping to better your life and opportunity for your family...RUN as fast as you can to Sears and buy a shitload of shotguns. you need 'em !
4. In the overall resulting analysis, stay away from the "center" of the USA "states"...your safer on the coastal cities, but not by much, as a second "Civil War" is about to erupt that will be far worse than the first one.
5. If you have any "relatives" from 1776 who are still alive....offer them an "apology" for the Ignorant, Selfish Dumb Fucks who voted for the "Retardation of the USA" the day of Nov, 2nd 2010...Our Forefathers really appreciate you for the complete destruction of ALL that They worked for !!
^ America's "Top Ho"
She quit public service to suck the Media Dick for Fame & Fortune,
Forsaking her oath of office to get herself a TV Series...
Are These are the "Values" our U.S.A. citizens REALLY Support ?
Drink That TEA America....It is most likely your Last Gulp
^ Now you have to ask yourself...is this the way that AMERICA REALLY works ???....NO, we think Not. SAD TO SAY...it shows the lack of purpose which has taken a great toll upon the minds of those in the USA,...and the true inability to dedicate a social purpose for the benefit of All Americans.
Returning to a past which was responsible for Poverty, Injustice, Greed and Evil in so many ways, is No Answer...IT IS CORPORATE SLAVERY !!!
^ Fast Cars, Fast Food & Fast Women did NOT create this LACK of ability in the people of the USA...
FALSE VALUES, FAKE WARS, & FOOLISH IDIOTS DID !!!
America Has Once Again been Deceived by FEAR & Lies.
The "UNITED" States of America...Has run out of time.
What remains is now a country of Idiots run by Fools.
Like the Fools at Toyota of America...Who decided that our truthful comments were more than they wanted you to see...So they banned our posting on Toyota You Tube Videos. You will also notice other derogatory comments on Toyota there as well, ( although they only singled us out to ban our posts on their videos ) as well you will see comments from other idiots directed towards our commentary, which of course now we are unable to defend...so,...Go Do It For Us !!! THX.
TOYOTA BANS AUTO ARTIST ON YOU TUBE FOR TELLING THE TRUTH !
Toyota
USA has blocked comments from stingraysstudios.com, which is the
World's Number One Auto Art Studio on the web. After posting a comment
which pointed out the recalls and defects of the Avalon and that the "ad
theme" of a WWII styled commercial was "inappropriate" for Toyota to
use in selling cars to Americans, Toyota banned the Studio from You Tube
video comments.
Stingraysstudios designs custom cars and
concept designs for many Detroit Auto Companies and individuals,
including renowned Racing Drivers, and has stated that this action by
Toyota shows how desperate the car company really is today. "They are
afraid of the Truth and will do anything to prevent the facts from
interfering with their onslaught Ad Campaign to sell more defective
cars" said Peter Archer, the founder of stingraysstudios.com. A clear
slap in the face to the First Amendment of the USA, Toyota has again
shown the true nature of their efforts to blindly continue selling cars
regardless of the dangers inherent in their products.
In a
statement issued by Peter Archer from the Studio, "the facts cannot be
denied that Toyota is indeed afraid of even the slight of being caught
in a lie", which after the deaths of nearly 100 Americans in Toyota
products has intensified the reaction of the car company to any adverse
commentary.
"It is a very sad state of affairs when a giant car
company has the will to seek out a small art studio and ban the right to
express a true statement on a public forum like You Tube." said
Mr.Archer in the statement today.

^ LIV'IN IN AMERICA...YA JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS !!
ARE IMPORTED PRODUCTS BETTER THAN DOMESTICS ?
It seems that no matter what Country you live in there is more "appeal" to buying stuff not made in your Home Nation ?...and that it somehow is more "prestigious" if you buy imported products ??
People assume that imported wine or beer is better than any domestic brand, and in Europe & Japan it is a sign of status if you drive an American Car there !! Why has this become an acceptable "norm" ?
Know what ? ....HERE IS THE REAL DEAL AS TO WHY PEOPLE BUY "IMPORT CARS" & PRODUCTS :
I am going totally disagree with the basic premise that "people inside a country" think the Grass is just Greener from
somewhere else, ...hence they buy "import cars"..that is just BS.
The Real Reason is Trade Quotas, Government Tax Breaks and Billion Dollar Manufacturing Deals.
For
instance, Japan IS a fucking ISLAND, so there are a limited # of cars
that they can sell "in country" and in order to make a profitable
company, they ALL ( Japanese Car Companies ) MUST sell outside the Home
Nation to support the variety of corporations they have established
there which provide manufacturing employment for the Majority of the
population.
So they come to the USA, get FREE factories, Tax abatement
for YEARS on both the property and the product manufactured there, which
allows them to "employ" more people, make more REVENUE, and prop up the
IMAGE that they are a World Manufacture operation, thus getting more
capital from the Home Nation, it's Government, who then "adjusts" the
valuation of their currency in order to secure MORE CAPITAL from other
sources Worldwide.
This then enables them to spend BILLIONS in
Advertising & Marketing to convince buyers in markets outside Japan
to purchase their products over the domestic brands. Even if they are inferior @!!!
It is NOT
that people Prefer "IMPORT" product to the domestic product...rather it
is that the power of media saturation is able to sway these people away
from what they have bought for years by instilling "doubt" or Fear that
they are NOT buying the BEST Car out there.
Of Course, with the
unprecedented recalls of Toyota, that has been proven to be a lie, a
very BIG BS LIE, and in spite of this FACT, now you see that Toyota is spending even MORE
MONEY than Ever on Advertising to SELL people on what a Great Deal they
can get on a new Toyo right Now....More BS lies that they have to prop
up because if they falter in sales the entire "house of cards" they
built will crash to the floor, taking the Japanese Government with them
into Oblivion.
EVERY NATION however has to some degree or another
done this same "strategy" to impose themselves into "untapped markets"
and gain a majority of market share. Look at the American auto companies
in China, they OWN that Market, and in the case of GM, have done so
from as far back as the turn of the Last Century, when BUICK began to
build cars In China, and so now today BUICK is the Number One car in
China !!!
Now, due to this "Industrial Attack" from import
companies, the domestic manufacture has NO ALTERNATIVE but to turn to
their GOVERNMENT for Help, or they will Die...as we have seen happen to
the Electronics Industry in the USA, the Auto Industry in England, and
many other corporate operations who have been "displaced" by Companies
from outside the "Home Country" who can't compete with an "unfair or
extremely lower cost" in producing the same "type" of product.
If
ANY company can create Enough INFLUENCE to get consumers to
CONSISTENTLY buy the product they manufacture, they CREATE CASH FLOW
REVENUE,....they don't NEED to make a profit, just KEEP SELLING the
stuff they make, no matter what !!! The Government in their "Home
Nation" then has little choice but to support them as they employ so
many citizens, pay taxes and distribute "Trade" around the World that in
effect provides the MONEY to Run A Country with !!!
It is called
technically by definition a "Fascist" State form of Government, where
the Companies Run & Dictate the policy of the Nation. It is
"Capitalism" gone Bad, and unfortunately, That is exactly what we see
happening all around the World today as this is still a WAR, Now a GLOBAL WAR mentality leftover
from World War 1 and 2, where the "enemy" was much more Obvious to see,
and was then blatantly oppressive and dictatorial, which made then "easy to
Hate".
...today the SAME Philosophy & Politics are at play in the
Manufacturing & Oil industries, Banking and yes, in Government who takes away
the freedom of choice little by little and offers "Technology" in return
to make your life just a bit "Better" by getting you to BUY NEW STUFF.
That
is My Soapbox for the day, take it for what you can get out of it, but
THINK about this next time you buy ANYTHING...because It Dose Matter
what you CHOOSE....or you'll LOSE that option.

Can manufacturing save us? When President Obama bailed out Chrysler
and General Motors, sending them to bankruptcy court last year, the
nascent administration touted the Detroit Three as the last bastion of
big-time manufacturing in the United States, a necessary part of our
economy. Now that the economic recovery is stalling, GM, Ford and
Chrysler are still growing. All three are profitable for the first time
since 2004, Obama told a crowd of cheering United Auto Workers Friday.
The bailouts saved about 1 million jobs, and the auto industry has added
55,000 more in the last year, he said.
This was a
midterm election campaign rally, held at Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee
assembly plant on Detroit's Conner Avenue. This is what presidents of
either party do as the midterms approach.
"We were in the midst,
when I took office, of a deep and painful recession, that cost our
economy about 8 million jobs. And took a terrible toll on communities
like this. Our economy was shrinking about 6 percent per quarter. Now,
this morning, we learned our economy grew by about 2.4 percent for the
second quarter of the year. So that means it has been growing for one
full year."
The growth is slowing. That 2.4-percent growth in the
second quarter is about one point below economists' projections, and
down from 3.7 percent in the first quarter and 5 percent in the last
quarter of '09. It's up from 0 percent in 2008. Overall, according to
Commerce department figures, the economy shrank about 2.6 percent in
2009, mostly in the first half of the year.
But Obama reiterated
the three options his administration had in dealing with the failing
American auto industry. Three options that the Treasury department's
manufacturing chief, Ron Bloom, outlined for me in an interview earlier
this year. The new administration rejected one, the unmitigated federal
bailouts; two, letting GM and Chrysler fail; for three, the bailouts as
we know them today. The bankruptcies left many investors and creditors
with nothing, UAW workers with a two-tier wage formula and union-owned
retiree benefits and many fewer jobs, and thousands of dealerships
without franchises. GM's bankruptcy cut itself nearly in half, and I'm
still amazed how quickly and effortlessly the General went from eight to
four brands in North America.
Here's
part of the campaign pitch: "our strategy was to get this company and
this industry back on its feet ... take a hands-off approach, saying
'you guys know the business, we don't. We're going to give you a chance,
but we know you've got a chance."
He shot back at opponents of
the GM and Chrysler bailouts, which at the time, and probably to this
day, seems to include anyone outside Michigan and a few struggling
cities elsewhere in the Midwest.
"The fact that we're standing in
this magnificent factory today is a testament to the decisions we made
and the sacrifices you, and countless stakeholders across this industry
and this country were willing to make. So today, this industry is
growing strong. It's creating new jobs. It's manufacturing the fuel
efficient new cars and trucks that will carry us toward an
energy-independent future."
There's the nod to factory workers
and environmentalists who helped Obama win the presidency in 2008. If a
good number of them, more than the number who usually come out for
mid-terms, vote in November, Democrats may stem the expected shift to
Republican majorities in both houses of Congress.
Obama announced
Friday that Chrysler will keep open past 2012 its Sterling Heights,
Michigan, assembly plant, where it builds the Chrysler Sebring
and Dodge Avenger. Chrysler/Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters
after Obama's speech that the factory, which Chrysler was planning to
shut down in the first quarter of next year, will build the facelifted
midsize sedans, and then the full redesign scheduled for the 2014 model
year.
After the
Jeep plant, Obama appeared at the Chevrolet Volt assembly plant in
nearby Hamtramck, where GM announced it would boost Volt production by
50 percent in its second full year, 2013. That's from 30,000 units in
calendar '12 to 45,000 in '13, pretty good numbers for a car on which GM
will lose money because of the cost of the high technology. This stuff
doesn't come cheap.
Obama even took what GM describes as an
"impromptu" 40-foot drive in a production Volt at the Hamtramck plant.
GM's event seems a subtle jab at Rush Limbaugh's confused attack on
extended-range hybrid. (At one point, he told his radio audience,
according to reports, that the Volt goes just 40 miles before running
down its electrical charge.) Limbaugh said that the Obama administration
had to offer a $7,500 tax credit in order to get anyone to buy the
Volt.
The 0-$7,500 tax credit was renewed in Obama's 2009
economic recovery act, but that was after the Bush administration
renewed the tax credit in 2008, from its own Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Don't tell me Limbaugh's against renewing a Bush-era tax break?
The Volt
is getting it from both sides. Days before Limbaugh's uninformed rant,
the self-important Hybrid Owners of America put out an email comparing
the Chevy Volt with the Nissan Leaf. "How can you have a 'battle of the
electric cars' when there's only one electric car in the match?" it
asks, while going on to point out that the Volt will require "pricey
premium unleaded" for its gas-powered generator.
Ah, well. No
matter what GM, Chrysler, and even Ford build in the next several years,
it's going to take some time before the U.S. auto industry gets the
kind of respect Asian and European brands have enjoyed, including from
the automotive and non-automotive press.
The president may have
been campaigning Friday, but he had good reason to crow about the auto
industry. It's smaller and healthier today, able to make a profit at
lower volumes, which are volumes that indicate how weak the economy
remains. I don't know whether a majority of Americans today would say
they're better off today than they were a year ago. I can tell you that
one factory-full of Chrysler workers would say "yes," and those still
working at GM and Ford, and a good number of those of us who live in and
near Detroit would agree.
WHAT IS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE ?...WHY DOES IT EXIST ?
The Electoral College consists of the popularly elected representatives (electors) who formally elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Since 1964, there have been 538 electors in each presidential election.[1]Article II, Section 1, Clause 2
of the Constitution specifies how many electors each state is entitled
to have and that each state's legislature decides how its electors are
to be chosen. U.S. territories are not represented in the Electoral College. The Electoral College is an example of an indirect election.
The election for President and Vice President is not a direct election by United Statescitizens.
Citizens vote for electors, representing a state, who are the
authorized constitutional participants in a presidential election. In
early U.S. history, some state laws delegated the choice of electors to
the state legislature. Electors are free to vote for anyone eligible to
be President, but in practice pledge to vote for specific candidates and
voters cast ballots for favored presidential and vice presidential
candidates by voting for correspondingly pledged electors.[2][3]
The Twelfth Amendment
provides for each elector to cast one vote for President and one vote
for Vice President. It also specifies how a President and Vice President
are elected. The Twenty-third Amendment specifies how many electors the District of Columbia is entitled to have.
Critics argue the Electoral College is inherently undemocratic and gives certain swing states
disproportionate influence in selecting the President and Vice
President. Proponents argue that the Electoral College is an important
and distinguishing feature of federalism in the United States and protects the rights of smaller states. Numerous constitutional amendments
have been introduced in the Congress seeking to alter the Electoral
College or replace it with a direct popular vote; however, no proposal
has ever passed the Congress
( courtesy of Wikpeida )
HOWEVER....No, I don't feel the electoral college is fair, at all. This was
something I learned 25 years ago in elementary school. I think most of
us were given the example of how someone could win the popular vote, but
still lose the election, based on the electoral college. We heard about
this every election year in history, social studies, and civics. We saw
this proven by the Bush vs. Gore election. Regardless of the
actual/true/supposed outcome of the electoral votes, Gore had the
popular vote of most voters.
I think there was a time and a place for the electoral college (200
years ago), but with modern technology and communication, there isn't a
need for it. It's outdated. And it doesn't show the true choice of the
American voters. - Yahoo Commentary Post
COMMENTS ON OUR ENVIRONMENT :
" If the Government really wants to reduce CO2 emissions, then they should pass a law that every Human Being takes ONE LESS BREATH PER MINUTE, as that would reduce the total CO2 emitted by MORE THAN ALL the Automobiles On the Planet each day "
( Paraphrased from a comment by Bob Lutz )
Now you may think that Bob ^ was wrong in saying that, but actually he was 100% correct !!!
If we can just get some of the Blowhards out there to shut the fuck up, we will all be better off.
Unfortunately that dose not seem likely, so we have to really find other ways to solve this :
WASHINGTON –The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today denied 10 petitions
challenging its 2009
determination that climate change is real, is occurring due to
emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities, and threatens human
health and the environment.
The
petitions to reconsider EPA’s Endangerment Finding claim that climate
science cannot be trusted, and assert a conspiracy that invalidates the
findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the
U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. Global Change Research
Program.After
months of serious consideration of the petitions and of the state of
climate change science, EPA finds no evidence to support these claims.
In contrast, EPA’s review shows that climate science is credible,
compelling, and growing stronger.
“The endangerment finding is based on years of science from the U.S. and around the world.These
petitions -- based as they are on selectively edited, out-of-context
data and a manufactured controversy -- provide no evidence to undermine
our
determination.Excess greenhouse gases are a threat to our health and welfare,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson.“Defenders of the status quo will try to slow our efforts to get America running on clean energy.A
better solution would be to join the vast
majority of the American people who want to see more green jobs, more
clean energy innovation and an end to the oil addiction that pollutes
our planet and jeopardizes our national security.”
The basic assertions by the petitioners and EPA responses follow.
Claim: Petitioners say that emails disclosed from the University of East Anglia ’s Climatic Research Unit provide evidence of a
conspiracy to manipulate global temperature data.
Response:
EPA reviewed every e-mail and found this was simply a candid discussion
of scientists working through issues that arise in compiling and
presenting large complex data sets. Four other independent
reviews came to similar conclusions.
Claim: Petitioners say that errors in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report call the entire body of work into question.
Response:
Of the alleged errors, EPA confirmed only two in a 3,000 page report.
The first pertains to the rate of Himalayan glacier melt and second to
the percentage of the
Netherlands below sea level. IPCC issued correction statements for both
of these errors. The errors have no bearing on Administrator Jackson’s
decision. None of the errors undermines the basic facts that the climate
is changing in ways that threaten our health and welfare.
Claim:
Petitioners say that because certain studies were not included in the
IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, the IPCC itself is biased and cannot be
trusted as a source of reliable information.
Response:
These claims are incorrect. In fact, the studies in question were
included in the IPCC report, which provided a comprehensive and balanced
discussion of climate science.
Claim: Petitioners say that new scientific studies refute evidence supporting the Endangerment Finding.
Response:Petitioners
misinterpreted the results of these studies. Contrary to their claims,
many of the papers they submit as evidence are consistent with EPA’s
Finding. Other studies submitted by the
petitioners were based on unsound methodologies. Detailed discussion of
these issues may be found in volume one of the response to petition
documents, on EPA’s website.
Climate
change is already happening, and human activity is a contributor. The
global warming trend over the past 100 years is confirmed by three
separate records of surface temperature, all of which are confirmed by
satellite data. Beyond this, evidence of climate change is seen in
melting ice in the Arctic, melting glaciers around the world, increasing
ocean temperatures, rising sea
levels, shifting precipitation patterns, and changing ecosystems and
wildlife habitats.
“America’s Climate Choices,”a report from the National Academy of Sciencesand
the most recent assessment of the full body of scientific literature on
climate change, along with the recently released “State of the Climate”
reportfrom theNational Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration both fully support the conclusion that
climate change is real and poses significant risk to human and natural
systems. The consistency among these and previously issued assessments
only serves to strengthen EPA’s conclusion.

We're Hot as Hell and We're Not Going to Take It Any More
Three Steps to Establish a Politics of Global Warming By Bil McKibben (Cross Posted from TomDispatch.com)
Try to fit these facts together:
According to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the planet has
just come through the warmest decade, the warmest 12 months, the warmest
six months, and the warmest April, May, and June on record.
A "staggering" new study from
Canadian researchers has shown that warmer seawater has reduced
phytoplankton, the base of the marine food chain, by 40% since 1950.
Nine nations have
so far set their all-time temperature records in 2010, including Russia
(111 degrees), Niger (118), Sudan (121), Saudi Arabia and Iraq (126
apiece), and Pakistan, which also set the new all-time Asia record in May: a hair under 130 degrees. I can turn my oven to 130 degrees.
And then, in late July, the U.S. Senate decided to do exactly
nothing about climate change. They didn't do less than they could have
-- they did nothing, preserving a perfect two-decade bipartisan
record of no action. Senate majority leader Harry Reid decided not even
to schedule a vote on legislation that would have capped carbon
emissions.
I wrote the first book for a general audience on global warming back
in 1989, and I've spent the subsequent 21 years working on the issue.
I'm a mild-mannered guy, a Methodist Sunday School teacher. Not quick to
anger. So what I want to say is: this is fucked up. The time has come
to get mad, and then to get busy.
For many years, the lobbying fight for climate legislation on Capitol
Hill has been led by a collection of the most corporate and moderate
environmental groups, outfits like the Environmental Defense Fund. We
owe them a great debt, and not just for their hard work. We owe them a
debt because they did everything the way you're supposed to: they wore
nice clothes, lobbied tirelessly, and compromised at every turn.
By the time they were done, they had a bill that only capped carbon
emissions from electric utilities (not factories or cars) and was so
laden with gifts for industry that if you listened closely you could
actually hear the oinking. They bent over backwards like Soviet
gymnasts. Senator John Kerry, the legislator they worked most closely
with, issued this rallying cry as the final negotiations began: "We
believe we have compromised significantly, and we're prepared to
compromise further."
And even that was not enough. They were left out to dry by
everyone -- not just Reid, not just the Republicans. Even President
Obama wouldn't lend a hand, investing not a penny of his political
capital in the fight.
The result: total defeat, no moral victories.
Now What?
So now we know what we didn't before: making nice doesn't work. It
was worth a try, and I'm completely serious when I say I'm grateful they
made the effort, but it didn't even come close to working. So we better
try something else.
Step one involves actually talking about global warming. For years
now, the accepted wisdom in the best green circles was: talk about
anything else -- energy independence, oil security, beating the Chinese
to renewable technology. I was at a session convened by the White House
early in the Obama administration where some polling guru solemnly
explained that "green jobs" polled better than "cutting carbon."
No, really? In the end, though, all these focus-group favorites are
secondary. The task at hand is keeping the planet from melting. We need
everyone -- beginning with the president -- to start explaining that
basic fact at every turn.
It is the heat, and also the humidity. Since warm air holds
more water than cold, the atmosphere is about 5% moister than it was 40
years ago, which explains the freak downpours that seem to happen
someplace on this continent every few days.
It is the carbon -- that's why the seas are turning acid, a
point Obama could have made with ease while standing on the shores of
the Gulf of Mexico. "It's bad that it's black out there," he might have
said, "but even if that oil had made it safely ashore and been burned in
our cars, it would still be wrecking the oceans." Energy independence
is nice, but you need a planet to be energy independent on.
Mysteriously enough, this seems to be a particularly hard point for
smart people to grasp. Even in the wake of the disastrous Senate
non-vote, the Nature Conservancy's climate expert toldNew York Times
columnist Tom Friedman, "We have to take climate change out of the
atmosphere, bring it down to earth, and show how it matters in people's
everyday lives." Translation: ordinary average people can't possibly
recognize the real stakes here, so let's put it in language they can
understand, which is about their most immediate interests. It's both
untrue, as I'll show below, and incredibly patronizing. It is, however,
exactly what we've been doing for a decade and clearly, It Does Not
Work.
Step two, we have to ask for what we actually need, not what we
calculate we might possibly be able to get. If we're going to slow
global warming in the very short time available to us, then we don't
actually need an incredibly complicated legislative scheme that gives
door prizes to every interested industry and turns the whole operation
over to Goldman Sachs
to run. We need a stiff price on carbon, set by the scientific
understanding that we can't still be burning black rocks a couple of
decades hence. That undoubtedly means upending the future business plans
of Exxon and BP, Peabody Coal and Duke Energy, not to speak of everyone
else who's made a fortune by treating the atmosphere as an open sewer
for the byproducts of their main business.
Instead they should pay through the nose for that sewer, and here's the crucial thing: most of the money raised in the process should be returned directly to American pockets.
The monthly check sent to Americans would help fortify us against the
rise in energy costs, and we'd still be getting the price signal at the
pump to stop driving that SUV and start insulating the house. We also
need to make real federal investments in energy research and
development, to help drive down the price of alternatives -- the
Breakthrough Institute points out,
quite rightly, that we're crazy to spend more of our tax dollars on
research into new drone aircraft and Mars orbiters than we do on
photovoltaics.
Yes, these things are politically hard, but they're not impossible. A
politician who really cared could certainly use, say, the platform
offered by the White House to sell a plan that taxed BP and actually
gave the money to ordinary Americans. (So far they haven't even used the
platform offered by the White House to reinstall the rooftop solar panels that Jimmy Carter put there in the 1970s and Ronald Reagan took down in his term.)
Asking for what you need doesn't mean you'll get all of it.
Compromise still happens. But as David Brower, the greatest
environmentalist of the late twentieth century, explained
amid the fight to save the Grand Canyon: "We are to hold fast to what
we believe is right, fight for it, and find allies and adduce all
possible arguments for our cause. If we cannot find enough vigor in us
or them to win, then let someone else propose the compromise. We
thereupon work hard to coax it our way. We become a nucleus around which
the strongest force can build and function."
Which leads to the third step in this process. If we're going to get
any of this done, we're going to need a movement, the one thing we
haven't had. For 20 years environmentalists have operated on the notion
that we'd get action if we simply had scientists explain to politicians
and CEOs that our current ways were ending the Holocene,
the current geological epoch. That turns out, quite conclusively, not
to work. We need to be able to explain that their current ways will end
something they actually care about, i.e. their careers. And since we'll
never have the cash to compete with Exxon, we better work in the
currencies we can muster: bodies, spirit, passion.
"Get back to work YOU mutherfuckers "
Movement Time
As Tom Friedman put it in a strong column
the day after the Senate punt, the problem was that the public "never
got mobilized." Is it possible to get people out in the streets
demanding action about climate change? Last year, with almost no money,
our scruffy little outfit, 350.org, managed to organize what Foreign Policycalled
the "largest ever coordinated global rally of any kind" on any issue --
5,200 demonstrations in 181 countries, 2,000 of them in the U.S.A.
People were rallying not just about climate change, but around a
remarkably wonky scientific data point, 350 parts per million carbon
dioxide, which NASA's James Hansen and his colleagues have demonstrated
is the most we can have in the atmosphere if we want a planet "similar
to the one on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is
adapted." Which, come to think of it, we do. And the "we," in this
case, was not rich white folks. If you look at the 25,000 pictures in our Flickr account,
you'll see that most of them were poor, black, brown, Asian, and young
-- because that's what most of the world is. No need for vice-presidents
of big conservation groups to patronize them: shrimpers in Louisiana
and women in burqas and priests in Orthodox churches and slumdwellers in
Mombasa turned out to be completely capable of understanding the threat
to the future.
Those demonstrations were just a start (one we should have made long
ago). We're following up in October -- on 10-10-10 -- with a Global Work Party.
All around the country and the world people will be putting up solar
panels and digging community gardens and laying out bike paths. Not
because we can stop climate change one bike path at a time, but because
we need to make a sharp political point to our leaders: we're getting to
work, what about you?
We need to shame them, starting now. And we need everyone working
together. This movement is starting to emerge on many fronts. In
September, for instance, opponents of mountaintop removal are converging on DC
to demand an end to the coal trade. That same month, Tim DeChristopher
goes on trial in Salt Lake City for monkey-wrenching oil and gas
auctions by submitting phony bids. (Naomi Klein and Terry Tempest
Williams have called for folks to gather at the courthouse.)
The big environmental groups are starting to wake up, too. The Sierra Club has a dynamic new leader, Mike Brune,
who's working hard with stalwarts like Greenpeace and Friends of the
Earth. (Note to enviro groups: working together is fun and useful). Churches are getting involved, as well as mosques and synagogues. Kids are leading
the fight, all over the world -- they have to live on this planet for
another 70 years or so, and they have every right to be pissed off.
But no one will come out to fight for watered down and weak legislation. That's not how it works. You don't get a movement unless you take the other two steps I've described.
And in any event it won't work overnight. We're not going to get the
Senate to act next week, or maybe even next year. It took a decade
after the Montgomery bus boycott to get the Voting Rights Act. But if
there hadn't been a movement, then the Voting Rights Act would have
passed in… never. We may need to get arrested. We definitely need art,
and music, and disciplined, nonviolent, but very real anger.
Mostly, we need to tell the truth, resolutely and constantly. Fossil
fuel is wrecking the one earth we've got. It's not going to go away
because we ask politely. If we want a world that works, we're going to
have to raise our voices.
COMMENTS ON POLITICIANS :
Why do some people "buy into" the Ignorant and self-serving Politicians who present a "opinion" that AMERICA is a personal "tool" to protect the well off from assumed "threats" to their present status quo ?
FEAR & IGNORANCE ABOUND IN THESE JERKS
...and WE ALL need to stop these Idiots Now :
^ "Police Car State" Have we not seen these characters here before, like 60 years ago ? ...
Yea Think So, time to get rid of them... AGAIN !
The lack of Responsibility of Corporations like BP & Toyota, as well as the complete arrogance of going about "covering up" obvious judgment errors is an unacceptable manner of conducting "business"... Then this "state of mind" has now enabled a STATE to go directly against the Bill of Rights & the U.S. Constitution by enacting a "law" that allows for direct violations against the very fabric of the Country, in that most ALL of the citizens in the USA today, at some point came from "somewhere" else, allowed to become a part of the USA and participate in our way of life. That IS the American way....
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and
being an AMERICAN in 1907. 'In the first place, we
should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes
an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an
exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate
against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But
this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an
American,
and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an
American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We
have room for but one language here, and that is the English language..
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the
American people.'

Feds sue over Arizona's tough immigration enforcement law
We've known this was coming for a while, ever since Arizona passed
a law requiring police to arrest illegal immigrants -- a law that's one
of the toughest in the country and one of the most controversial.
(Though, according to opinion polls, very popular.) Now, it's official:
The federal government is taking Arizona to court. They're trying to get
it knocked down and, while they're duking it out, want an injunction
blocking the law from taking effect. Take it away, AP:
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix argues that
Arizona's law requiring state and local police to question and possibly
arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws such as
traffic violations usurps federal authority.
"In our
constitutional system, the federal government has pre-eminent authority
to regulate immigration matters," the lawsuit says. "This authority
derives from the United States Constitution and numerous acts of
Congress. The nation's immigration laws reflect a careful and considered
balance of national law enforcement, foreign relations, and
humanitarian interests."
The government is seeking an injunction
to delay the July 29 implementation of the law until the case is
resolved. It ultimately wants the law declared invalid.

Afghan president calls execution a 'crime against humanity,' if true
Boy
was accused of spying for the government
Official: Other such
executions have taken place in the province
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Suspected Taliban
militants have executed a 7-year-old boy, accusing him of spying for the
government, officials in southern Afghanistan said Thursday.
The
execution took place Tuesday in the Sangin district of Helmand
province, said Dawoud Ahmadi -- the provincial governor's spokesman.
In the past, militants have carried out similar killings of those
accused of spying, Ahmadi said.
Three years ago, a 70-year-old
woman and a child in the Musa Qala district of the province were
executed following the same allegations, he said.
During a news
conference Thursday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said officials were
looking into reports of the execution and said he condemned the act if
it is confirmed to be true.
"I don't think there's a crime bigger
than that that even the most inhuman forces on earth can commit,"
Karzai said. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A 7-year-old boy cannot
be anything but a 7-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to
kill a 7-year-old boy ... is a crime against humanity."

Toyota Invests $50 Million in Tesla Venture Despite Project Contention
by:
Joel West May 21, 2010
Thursday night, Palo Alto-based Tesla
Motors announced that its long-promised Model S electric sedan would be
built at the closed NUMMI plant in Fremont. The announcement came with a
$50 million investment from Toyota (TM).
Given this 25-year
joint venture between Toyota and GM had established infrastructure, and
its April 1 closing was a source of great embarrassment to Toyota, this
seems like a no-brainer. However, apparently it only dates to an April
meeting between the Toyota CEO, Akio Toyoda, and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk,
who made the joint announcement Thursday.
When I heard this,
however, it reminded me of all the previous places that Tesla had
promised to build a factory:
* Albuquerque (promised 2007,
abandoned 2008)
* San José (a greenfield site, promised 2008,
abandoned January 2009)
* Palo Alto (a former HP factory,
promised August 2009 — and apparently still on)
Runaway Bride
(Widescreen Edition)This reminded me of the Julia Roberts movie “Runaway
Bride,” about a woman who kept planning weddings but then abandoning
them at the last minute.
Most recently, the company had been
negotiating with Long Beach (the former Douglas Aircraft plant for
making DC-9s) and Downey (a former NASA site) in the LA area. Musk said:
It's gonna be a tough decision, because I think frankly both Long
Beach and Downey would be great locations.
Downey officials had
approved nearly $9 million in incentives to attract the factory. The
facility had been once listed in Tesla’s proposal for a $465 million
“advanced technology” federal loan. Needless to say, city officials were
upset. Downey City Councilman, Mario Guerra, said:
We are
shocked, upset and betrayed. We can see why the public is so upset with
corporate America.
He adding that Tesla had told the city it
would sign the lease for the Downey plant on Friday.
According to
proponents, the plant would create 1,000 jobs. The company has
cumulative losses exceeding $200 million on sales of about 1,000 cars
and total revenues around $100 million. For such a tiny car company —
selling a niche product — it had been tremendously successful getting
publicity and promises of subsidies from local governments.
Or as
a Councilman Mario Guerra said:
I couldn’t be more
disappointed. Ifeel like I was stabbed in the back. We were promised all
along that we weren’t being used and this is what happens. Elon Musk
personally gave me his word that we weren’t being used. Somebody is a
very good poker player and I guess that’s how you become a billionaire.
Tesla
had also been promised as the salvation of the American auto industry,
which has lost 100,000s of jobs in the past three years. Now, with the
strategic investment by Toyota, there is the possibility that its exit
strategy will be to become a subsidiary of Japan’s (and the world’s)
largest auto company.

Interview with Detroit born founder of "Stingraysstudios.com", Peter Archer, as published by Local Motors website (LINK BELOW):
Hey, LMers. ( edit: LMers refers to Local Motors Members) As promised, here is a first in a series of interviews with Detroiters. Today we hone in on Peter Archer, aka stingraysstudios to you.
I
asked Peter questions that definitely spurred inspiring answers; we owe
him a debt of gratitude for his willingness to share! I also asked
questions that may have hit a few nerves, but he answered eloquently
and passionately, and I find that his opinion mirrors a few other
Detroiters that I know (see question #6). I know many who would
disagree as well. But, our objective is to gain perspective; a
Detroiter's perspective. So read on :
This
is a single Detroit point of view, and we will have more to come!
Tomorrow we will interview Larry Edsall; he is a prolific auto writer
who was an editor at Auto Week, and the writer of several fantastic
design books.

1.) AF: Hi,
Peter! Thank you for taking the time to share your vision of Detroit
with the community. Can you tell us how much time you spent in Detroit,
and whether you still consider it to be home?
PA: I
was born in Detroit, so it will always be "home" for me, Growing up
there ( in the 1960's) was a great place for a "kid" of my interests in
Auto Design, Motor Racing & Music...or perhaps it was Because of
Detroit that I grew into these interests as they are all "native" to
the Detroit area. The area I grew up in was Franklin Village, an
"upscale community" in that time, which was home to many of the Big 3
auto executives & I lived there until I was 16, when my family then
moved to Ft; Lauderdale, Fl... which is where I live today.
Franklin
was a very unique "village" as it has a center street where there was a
Cider Mill, Meat Market, Church, Kindergarten School, Hardware store
& that was it !.The Cider Mill was built in the 1800's had a giant
wooden wheel that turned water from the stream behind up into the mill
mashing the apples into make Cider, they also made fresh donuts every
Sunday & people drove from miles around to come there after Church.
It was a very close little community & a good place for a kid to
grow up.

2.) AF: What were your favorite past times during your Detroit years?
PA:Well,
I was fortunate to have friends whose fathers were in the top
executives of the Auto Industry & they very supportive of us "kids"
who "drew cars", which I have been doing from age 5 !!!...lol. One of
my best friends dad was Chuck Jordan, the head of GM Design who took
the time to show & allow me to see the "inner workings" of the
design studios at GM Tech Center. Going there was always a "treat" for
me, to see cars from the future being "dreamed up", then to go into the
assembly line factories & watch them actually build the cars I had
seen on the drawing board, was a powerful experience.
Detroit is
a very Diverse City, in that you have so many various areas where
different social groups live & work, around the factories the
workers there made a home for their families, Where I lived (about 40
miles from downtown ) the executives had big homes & yards, and
downtown was the heart of the city, where the Real MOTOWN lived &
flourished.
There you could find all the trappings of a
successful metropolitan center, Art Museums, Symphony Halls, Corporate
towers, Penthouse apartments, restaurants of every ethnic origin,
Neighborhoods of mixed races & occupations, (something that back
then in the 1960's was a fairly rare occurrence)...and of course the
emerging Music Industry of Motown Records !! The people of Detroit
truly influence the World in the work they did, & they know that
well, it created a determination among the population that demands the
very best of each person, because what they do each day matters to
everyone, weather others understand that or not, Detroit truly became
"The Heartbeat Of America"...& the World..
The City was
always jump'in,... 24 hours a day !...& another unique aspect was
the "tunnel" under the Detroit River which took you into Ontario, so
you could "leave the Country" & come back in a night on the town
!....another thing people may not realize is that there is a Giant salt
mine Under the city of Detroit !!
In the summer months, we would
go "up north" where my family had a cottage on the Lake, there we would
fish in the streams (fly fishing for trout mostly), go boating (we had
a speedboat with a Mustang 289 in it ! )...and take speed buggy tours
of the sand dunes, where you would get in a Big Olds Convertible, &
they would drive 60 mph or more over the dunes, it was a blast to do
this !!!
In the Winter we would go snow skiing, snowmobiling
& tobogganing down the steep hills of northern Michigan, & even
in my neighborhood we had some big "Hills" ...so, you learned real
quick how to control a sled...or you crashed, hard !...lol.
But
I have to say my favorite "pastime" aside from drawing cars, was Go
Kart Racing, we had several different types of Karts & mini bikes,
we even had a fiberglass bodied Monza GT go kart !!..it looked like the
Stingray Corvette design !!!, ...my friend even had one of these built
by GM for him !
3.) AF: What places really yell "DETROIT!" to you? What activities do you associate specifically with the Motor City?
PA: Woodward Avenue.
The "infamous" strip of asphalt that runs across town, that led to it
being known as the Underground Drag Racing Capital of the USA....for no
small reasons. Anything you could imagine & more that you could
never believe showed up here !! Even Chevrolet engineering brought a
427 VEGA to "The Avenue"...it became a "unofficial" test track for all
the Big 3 back in the day !!! Cobo Hall.
This was the main showcase for Detroit Automakers each year, where they
came to the hall like Gladiators in the Rome, to do battle against each
other for the top honors. The building even has a Freeway running UNDER
the length of it !!!...where else but Detroit !!!
Tiger Stadium.
When I left Detroit in 1968 to move to Florida, the Detroit Tiger
Baseball team won the World Series Pennant, it was a affirmation of the
City after the 1967 race riots that burned almost 1/25th of the city
into ashes. These were very turbulent times, in spite of the fact
Detroit WAS much more "integrated" than most American cities at the
time, today those problems pale in comparison to the Present Day
Crisis within Detroit. But Tiger Stadium was the REAL crowning jewel of
the City that year, when all of the people there were "Detroit" !!
4.) AF: Are you a sports fan? If so, which teams do you support?
PA: YES, ...as long as the sport involves motor racing !!! ....
In my opinion Mr. Earnest Hemingway said it best : "There
are only 3 sports that are TRUE SPORTS, Mountain Climbing, Boxing &
Auto Racing....WHERE A PERSON RISKS HIS LIFE TO DO THIS,...the rest are just guys playing with balls "
5.) AF: What made you leave Detroit? Do you ever intend to go back to live there?
PA: I
really did not have a choice in that, my family moved to Florida when I
was 16, so....but I did agree to go, so....it was a new adventure for
me at the time, & I have no regrets about it at all. Had I stayed
in Detroit, I have No Doubt Whatsoever that I would be designing cars
for General Motors today, I had the skills, the connections & most
importantly the Talent to do that. I have thought about going back
& buying my old home there as well, for a " summer house", as it
get's pretty Hot in Florida during the summer months, I even went to a Realtor to find out what it would cost to buy my old house, (it was
not for sale), I should probably go back Now & buy it as it would
most likely be a "deal" & a half considering the current economy in
Detroit !!!....but that is not me, I have no pleasure or desire to take
advantage of someone's misfortune for my personal gain. So, no.... I'm
not going back.
6.) AF: Detroit has had a turbulent couple of years. What do you think the city needs in order to begin the regrowth process?
PA : Detroit needs nothing more than the opportunity
to show it has, it can today & will continue to lead the World in
the Automotive Industry. I think that most of the reason Detroit is in
such a desperate condition today falls upon the Federal Government of
the USA, for failing to provide the "Level Playing Field" required by a
Free Trade Global Economy.
For over 100 years the Big 3 have
taken care of ALL the employees who ever worked for them & thier
families too !!...via health care & pensions which those people
EARNED with hard work & long hours of dedication to the Auto
Companies of Detroit. PEOPLE THAT BUILT THE USA INTO A REAL FREE
COUNTRY & WORLD POWER TO BE RESPECTED.
Detroit still sells
more cars combined than the rest of the World, In spite of the FACT
that now, the Import companies have those "costs" taken care of for
them by thier respective Governments, & Detroit Companies do not,
creating an "unfair" trade imbalance due to the cost per vehicle
produced, the average cost of each car built in Detroit comes with a
$5000 fee attached, to pay for those costs, Before the Car is even
Built !!!...
Import companies have been allowed to undercut
Detroit, hire workers at half the rates, provide none of the benefits,
& get Tax Free incentives & Free Land with existing factories,
Had Detroit been given these same considerations & the Government
"stepped up to the level of the World Market game" by providing some
sort of Health care & pension relief for the Big 3, this current
"crisis" would NEVER have occurred.
It is a SAD commentary on the
state of the USA, that this has been allowed to happen as there was NO
EXCUSE for it at all. GM continues to build as many cars as anyone
worldwide, yet has been "singled out" to pay the price for ALL of this,
just at the time they are about to introduce a series of new models
that are revolutionary in nature, like the Chevy Volt.
It is NO
coincidence that these "troubles" are coming at this exact time, when
Detroit is ready to forsake the "OIL COMPANY" base of
the automobile,
for a cleaner more dynamic design method. Big Money is at stake here
& right now,..indeed the future of the World Auto Market is on the
line.
I have no doubt that the PEOPLE of Detroit & those in
the American Auto Companies can & will prevail over these current challenges,...they are some of the smartest people I have ever known
in my life, & are under no delusions as to the real causes of what
is happening today !!
If I have any hesitations from the course
of my life, it would be that I wish I was in Detroit today, ...just so
I could be part of kick'in the World in the ass.
