Before, where they ripped off beats and melodies from my song Contemporary Girl, Gwen has now greedily gone all the way and stole lyrics, more melodies and music from my song that was copyrighted in 2001 for "Orange County Girl."  

I will post the lyric comparisons between my song and her rip off shortly along with my copyright certificate.

My godmother’s husband, Clement Dodd, invented Jamaican reggae and ska music, which No Doubt exploited and became rich off, despite their very basic skills.  

Now it has extended to No Doubt via Gwen Stefani exploiting Jamaicans, in criminally ripping off copyrights from years of my labor to extend her run of fame. That song was copyrighted in 2001, you criminal. Copyright infringement is a crime. 

My copyright certificate for "Contemporary Girl" from 2001.

Below is Gwen Stefani's illiterate, profanity laced, vulgar rip off of a Christian song I wrote, Contemporary Girl, and dedicated to God. Yea, look for more misfortune to hit your life than Herod for ripping of something dedicated to God. Only trash does stuff like that and clearly a devilish one as well with no morals. You disgust me - you an your contemptible family of minority exploiting thieves. You nasty little fraud.

Once again, it is produced by that thief Pharrell Williams, who is known in the industry for ripping off indie musicians then reselling their music for $200,000, which is a crime. He and Stefani have criminally ripped me off twice now.

I've not heard her whole garbage album yet, but I did hear "Orange County Girl" and instantly spotted the rip offs, which are as follows. If you listen to the songs, they are both sung the same, both have the same lyrics, melodies, song structure and music under it - only I wrote and copyrighted mine years ago in 2001.

The titles even sound the same when you drip the Orange "Contemporary Girl" (2001) and "Orange County Girl" (2006). Here are the lyrical comparisons that show they blatant, lazy copying by that lazy, money grubbing, un-creative, non-singing skank:

Regarding the defendants in the case, you are not good people. Good people don’ t do things like this and so consistently. These aren’t errors or mistakes. These are premeditated, willful violations of domestic and international law. 

There’s absolutely no excuse under the sun for this corrupt, mafia-like conduct. You are a disgrace to your families and everyone associated with you.   

You are money grubbing, common, vulgar, low class whores that will do anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it means criminally stealing from and exploiting others - adding invasion of privacy to boot.   

Only trash would do things like that. You are as common and vulgar as they come. 

People of class, who come from any kind of decent family don’t do things like this. It says a lot about the families you come from that you engage in this kind of criminal conduct and on a constant basis.

You should learn from history. People who do such things live under God’s disfavor and so do their families. It’s dirty money that never will be made clean.  

What kind of family did you come from that they taught you that it is okay to rip off hard working minorities to further your career? Were you raised in the gutter? Were you raised by pigs? Are you that money hungry and pathetic?  

Gwen Stefani says she is related to Madonna and how they hang out all the time, and they are both money hungry thieves whose desire to be rich and famous knows no bounds, so much so that they’ve continued to break the law.  

What a screwed up, immoral, depraved gene pool they come from to be doing things like this. The invasion of privacy is also very vile, much like they are. 

I’ve found 5 separate civil rights violations cases in court records against Madonna. Why is that? Different people from around the country complaining she invaded their privacy.  

It is clear that pervert has been going around doing some really foul, criminal stuff and using PIs to break the law.  

Madonna also got sued for civil rights violations along with well-known private eye Gavin DeBecker. And of course, more corruption occurred in that case, as with 90% of her dozens of cases. Her misconduct also caused Regis and Kelly to be sued in another case. 

I’ve found many copyright infringement cases in court records against her as well. Why is that. Why can’t that lunatic behave.

I’ve found trademark and patent infringement cases against her for stealing other people’s products. Once again, why is that. Why can’t that lunatic behave. 

Madonna's PR Fiasco, Book Flop, TV Special Flop

Due to the horrible worldwide backlash against Madonna over abducting adopting little David Banda, human trafficking and lying about him being an orphan, she has become one of the most hated celebrities in the world.

People are bashing her in droves all over the net, on television and in print, and she deserves it for breaking up that family so she could have a fashion accessory to compete with Angelina Jolie.

Many believe this backlash lead to the failure of her children's book, "Too Good To Be True." The failure of the book hit the snooty low class one so hard that she decided to hock the book on the Home Shopping Network. How the pseudo-mighty have fallen. While I like HSN, and have bought from them, she probably could have cared less about the channel...well, until her sales were in the toilet.

In my lawsuit last year, I complained of plagiarism in her children's books from my already copyrighted works, and other invasion of privacy items.

She has gotten worse with this latest book, fully proving my allegations, in "Too Good To Be True," as there is more plagiarism from my unreleased copyrighted catalog of books, songs and scripts in said children's book, and once again, more oddness in that one of the characters in the book has my father's name and another of the characters in the book bears one of my mother's best friends' name. Sick! That is very disturbing. More on that in the next Column.

But wait, give that idiot 5 minutes, and look for her to say some rubbish lie in some interview about how she came up with the stolen story line and characters' names in the book, that mysteriously bear my dad's name and that of one of my mom's best friends, who has been like an aunt to me for the past 20 years.

Her Thanksgiving concert special bombed as well. I guess people decided one turkey for the holidays was enough. The show came in at #82 with very low ratings. It got beaten by just about everything.

Another Theft From My Copyrights "Blonde Ambition"

Jessica Simpson

They have ripped off another of my film scripts that's apart of my extensive Copyrighted Catalog they criminally procured an unreleased copy of via hacking and burglaries.

I wrote a film and book that they've now ripped off. She kept the book for herself, changing the name of my book from Beautiful Inspirations to Madonna's Inspirations and now the accompanying film it was from has been criminally sold and renamed "Blonde Ambition" after one of her cruddy tours.

My movie script is about a girl from the south that leaves and heads to New York to climb the corporate ladder. Their rip off is about exactly the same thing, but renamed after one of Madonna's stupid tours, Blonde Ambition. This is absolutely criminal.

To cover the rip off of my script, Jessica Simpson tried to say in an interview that the film Blonde Ambition is like Working Girl, but correct me if I'm wrong, I saw Working Girl on TV, and wasn't she a Jersey Girl that started working in Manhattan.

It's the same way Madonna lied about criminally stealing "Material Girls," which she stole from my film script "Contemporary Girl."

I am asking you to boycott "Blonde Ambition" when it comes out. Let them work and make it in vain, much like their willful crimes have made my labor in vain.

I will write more about it soon and remind you of the boycott when the film is about to be released.

I will also remind you of the release date of my other film script she and Guy Ritchie have ripped off (Rude Buay) and are trying to put together in my homeland of Jamaica.

The first two boycotts of works from my copyrights she has been criminally fencing around the industry worked, with  "American Dreamz" and "Material Girls," flopping. Thanks again.

International Lawsuit And Complaint

I am going to file international lawsuits and a human rights complaint with the United Nations against Madonna and Robert Mueller, among others, with the new evidence I have, as his criminal negligence has allowed her criminal misconduct to continue over a year later and is causing me more irreparable harm and financial loss. They are both in violation of international law.

Judge In Malawi Ruled Against Madonna

In unrelated news, a judge in Malawi, has ruled against her and allowed 67 human rights organizations to monitor Madonna over the next year and a half. She needs to be monitored by a shrink and KAT scan machine as well, because something has definitely gone wrong in that insane woman's head.

I think all adoptions should be extensively monitored. These are defenseless children. Money doesn't mean character. What if she flies off the handle again in one of her documented rages and chokes the little boy as she did to 10 year old Keith Serrantino in New York.

They should not have let that nutter out of Africa with that baby. It was in violation of the law, which forbids international adoptions, and make it worse, they let a crazy, rage filled nut, who has been breaking the law in other places, take the child.

"Madonna is accused today of putting children’s lives at risk"

"Madonna is accused today of putting children’s lives at risk in an escalating row over her adopted son’s treatment in an African orphanage.

One of the orphanage’s founders has written to the BBC, protesting at the pop singer’s comments in an interview with Newsnight, which is to be broadcast in full for the first time this weekend.

The British charity which raises funds for Home of Hope orphanage in Malawi said it feared he remarks would lead to a drop off in donations.

In the letter to Newsnight, the charity’s secretary Rosemary Lowdon wrote: "We have been very disturbed that the Home of Hope appears to have been described as a place where children are not cared for properly."

"We must stress that no money has come to the Home as a result of this adoption, and the financial resources at the Home are very limited."

"We are desperately worried that people will cease donating as a result of Madonna’s comments, and that this will make a difference between life and death for some of the most vulnerable children at the Home."

Mrs Lowdon, who helped set up the orphanage with her husband Martin in 1998 and who raised £20,000 to help run it last year, is in Malawi visiting the institution where David Banda, the 13-month-old baby Madonna has adopted, was cared for.

Mrs Lowdon took a copy of the abbreviated Newsnight interview to show to the Reverend Thomson Chipeta, the 77-yearold Presbyterian minister who runs the orphanage.

"He was very shaken, he was very upset," said Mrs Lowdon, 41.

"He said to me, 'Why is she saying this?'"

Madonna has claimed David was in an appalling state when she first saw the toddler last month.

The boy, she claimed, was suffering "the most horrendous diaper rash I’ve ever seen."

The singer, 48, who is adopting David with film director husband Guy Ritchie, also claimed she had been told by the Rev Chipeta that the boy was no longer visited by his father.

His mother died a week after childbirth.

"If somebody had said to me, 'Oh, his dad comes every week,' or, you know, 'his granny visits on a regular basis and he’s well looked after,' I would not even have given it another thought," she told Newsnight.

But the Rev Chipeta has now told Mrs Lowdon he never said the boy was no longer visited by his father. "

Feedback:

1. Madonna. What was she thinking! - Dave Brock, Staffordshire

2. Why, oh why, are Newsnight broadcasting the Madonna interview in full over the weekend? She has already done enough harm as it is. I feel very sorry for David Banda's father and the orphanage in Malawi. It's time to here their side of this, instead of Madonna's now. I also don't think it is very good for little David to be carted around on one airplane and another back and forth from here to the US. Madonna is being extremely selfish and thougtless. - Mrs H Sandher, Halesowen, W. Midlands. - Daily Mail

"Madonna effect 'disastrous' for UK children in care" 

"Madonna's adoption of an African boy could lead to vulnerable British children being left without families. 

A recent survey discovered that 74 per cent of the public wrongly believe that overseas adoption is easier and 58 per cent mistakenly thinking Britons adopt more children from abroad than at home. 

The singer's adoption of one-year-old Malawian David Banda - who is now at her London home after she was granted a temporary custody order - has led to a huge debate on the subject but little clarity. 

"Overseas adoption has received so much attention over the past month and we believe this has distorted public perception," said David Holmes, the chief executive of the British Association for Adoption & Fostering (BAAF). 

"People think it's common and easy. This is not true. There are fewer than 400 inter-country adoptions in the UK each year. You must go through the same rigorous assessment and approval process as you would if adopting a UK child, as well as complex negotiations with the country from which you want to adopt."

Stolen Song About Guy Ritchie And Madonna

Model Tania Strecker

Robbie Williams is being accused of plagiarism again, this time for stealing a song "She's Madonna" about how Guy Ritchie left beautiful model Tania Strecker for loony bin candidate Madonna based on her fame, which is now plummeting. The song has a line that goes, "I love you, but she's madonna," which is what Guy Ritchie told Tania, who then told Robbie Williams, who she dated.

Guess Tania got the last laugh. Madonna single handedly killed Guy's career, got him involved in a sick, felony committing cult (Kabbalah), has aged horribly, while she Tania has been dating and is engaged to a cute member of the titled noble family, the Rothschilds, who just about own all the banks. Ok, so they don't own all the banks, but they sure own a lot of them.

LEGAL FILE Robert Mueller (FBI)

Robert Mueller: The nerve of them calling me in here. So what I blew hundreds of millions of the taxpayers' money and eavesdrop on their calls, they act like I'm a criminal for breaking the law.

Why is it some members of the FBI and DOJ abbreviate their first name to an initial, but spell out their middle and last names?

And how come Robert Mueller, head of the FBI, doesn’t have to abbreviate his first name? Is it because his middle name is Sandy, which is a girl’s name –raspberry-

Speaking of effeminacy…

Congress Pimp Slaps Mueller And Tells Him To Go Get The Money Back

Robert Mueller to Congress: You want me to get the taxpayers' money back? But I squandered it fair and square:

Bob got in trouble with Congress…again, for wasting everyone’s tax dollars on a computer system that had to be chucked and a second one that has yet to materialize, with problems cropping up already. They own you!

The computer company probably strung two Ataris together with some rope and told him it is a new state of the art computer system that is unhackable…and they’d be right, because Ataris don’t do WIFI, DSL or dial up.

Fighting terrorists, one Atari at a time.

Robert Mueller to Congress: It's not fair that you want me to give back all that money. Even the kickb...

Really, just what did they sell him? Where did all that money go. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars.

The people of this country should be allowed to do to his finances what he did to ours. Just charge up stuff with no explanation, restraint or account, pardon the pun. Through laxity, negligence, carelessness and what looks to be impropriety, squander away his money. 

Then when he gets his credit card statement, steam would start coming out of his ears, because there would be thousands up on thousands of dollars in miscellaneous charges, that we would not give him an explanation for. After all, who is he that we should give him an explanation or accounting of how we spent his money.

That would be pretty bad, wouldn’t it – but that’s what he did to us…the taxpayers:

“Senators propose refund for failed VCF project”

The Senate’s draft of the appropriations bill for the Justice Department and FBI would order the bureau to use “all means necessary” to try to recover funds from the vendor of its failed Virtual Case File project.

In an unusual action, according to several sources, the draft legislation (H.R. 5672), officially the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, fiscal 2007, directs the bureau to retrieve as much as $104 million from the defaulted VCF contract.

FBI hired Science Applications International Corp. of San Diego in 2001 to build VCF, which was intended to create an investigative case management system. FBI pulled the plug in 2005 after realizing the system would not work.

A key sentence in the Senate report language for the bill reads: “The committee expects FBI to use all means necessary, including legal action, to recover all erroneous charges from the VCF contractor ... .”

The Senate’s reference to “the VCF contractor” especially singles out SAIC. FBI and SAIC both declined to comment on the legislation and related VCF matters.

If FBI could recover funds, the bill would direct the bureau to use the money on its current case management project, known as Sentinel.

The House version of the bill does not include a similar provision, so if the full Senate passes the bill with the language intact, the language still could be stripped out during the conference committee session between the two bodies.

If FBI were to take legal action to recover VCF funds, it would be stepping into a legal and political minefield, sources close to the project said.

For one thing, even after FBI had decided to scuttle the investigative case management system, SAIC recommended that the bureau should deploy VCF, and made detailed technical proposals on how it could be salvaged.

Another critical problem is that the bureau has accepted some responsibility for the demise of the VCF project. Sources close to the project said that some senior officials in place during its time, including Director Robert Mueller, still hold powerful jobs in the bureau, and their reputations could suffer if a public lawsuit or civil trial unveiled the details of their roles.

The Senate Appropriations Committee acknowledged FBI’s role in bungling VCF, in report language attached to the bill: “The committee understands that FBI shares much of the burden for past IT failures.”

One official involved in the VCF incident noted that federal contract law requires an agency that has canceled a project because of contractor default to try to recover the funds. “FBI did not carry out that obligation, because it never punishes its own,” the official said.

The official said the real issue is why FBI did not try to get back the money from SAIC.

“The world’s greatest investigative body slowed this down,” the official said. “The answer is culpability of FBI officials who are still there. Mueller says he takes responsibility. I still think there is accountability and culpability.”

A federal procurement law attorney said: “In general, when it terminates for default, the government has the same rights as a private party would in the event of a breach of contract” to recover misused funds.

In addition to requiring FBI to get back the money it paid to SAIC, the bill imposed other restrictions on the bureau that reflected the committee’s skepticism that the agency is capable of managing large software projects. “ – Post Newsweek Tech

More FBI Computer Woes

Robert Mueller: Oh no, I farted again in Congress.

Did it crash or was it hacked.

"FBI background check system for gun buyers crashes"

WASHINGTON: An FBI computer system that quickly screens gun buyers' backgrounds for criminal activity crashed several times over the past two days, officials said.

At times, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System was on the blink for up to a half-hour on Sunday and Monday — potentially allowing buyers to purchase firearms without being screened if sellers gave up on making the required check.

The computer crash was blamed on a technical glitch that was being worked on Monday evening, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said Monday. "It's a performance issue that we've never encountered before," he said. It was unclear when the glitch would be fixed.” - International Herald Tribune, France

Courtney Love Calls The FBI Slow

This slowness has caused many people, including myself, irreparable harm, but it is clearly not a concern of Robert Mueller’s, though.

Cases drag on for years, usurping more and more tax dollars, only for them to get ignored by the DOJ, labeling them untimely and messy (see articles below).

Innocent people have been murdered due to FBI negligence, lost money, their jobs and their homes. There is no possible excuse under the sun for this...yet it continues and with no accountability. That's what the criminals, you know, like the ones in the entertainment industry, depend on.

It looks bad on any law enforcement or investigative agency that their untimeliness and negligence causes victims more damage – often permanent.

It’s hard to respect something like that. I will never think well of Robert Mueller for that - he protects entertainment industry criminals more than he arrests them and it is going to become his legacy. 

“Love Loses Multi-Million Dollar Fortune”

Rocker Courtney Love was devastated when she discovered she lost $20 million after members of her entourage stole all of her money.

She explains, "As Chris Rock says, there's wealth and there's rich and rich can be gone with one crazy summer and a drug habit ... and that's what happened.

"But most of it got stolen. There's like an FBI investigation. They're slow those FBI guys, they go slow, they promise you the world.

"Two assistants had power of attorney, I had a really bad boyfriend, it was a nightmare and there were like a hundred bank accounts that they were moving money through.

"It was just bad. Drugs are cheap, I didn't blow it on drugs, drugs are relatively cheap when you talk about millions of dollars." – San Francisco Gate

Taiwanese Government’s Calls Go Unanswered By Mueller

Robert Mueller: Turn the answering machine on. Don't they know I retaliate against different ethnic groups:

More Mueller unprofessionalism again. A foreign government is calling you and you can’t get off your overpaid butt and get a secretary to call them back or send them a written response. What exactly are the taxpayers paying you for again.

All you seem to do is offend people, burn bridges, retaliate against FBI agents and lie to the public. You are a waste of the nation’s tax dollars.

Or is the computer not the only thing you can’t work – you can’t work the phone either?

No etiquette, no manners and no sense of what the word diplomacy and good foreign policy means.

Not only are you shady with the country in squandering tax dollars, you are shady with foreign countries as well. You may need Taiwan’s help one day, Forrest Gump. 

Taiwan would be better off trying one of the FBI’s 56 field offices, as they seem to show more accountability, but then they would submit their report to headquarters and it would end up tied up in bureaucracy or in the shredder in Mueller’s suite.

With the amount of enemies America has in the world due to national and foreign policy, not the making of the citizens of this country (why can’t people vote on foreign policy in elections), wouldn’t it be wise to gain some allies instead of offending more countries…or is that the plan? Just offend everybody in the world until the only country that will have any compassion towards America is Britain, God bless them. 

Do the math. America is 300,000,000 people. Britain is 50,000,000 people. That leaves roughly 6 billion people in the world. Translation: the country needs more allies. Right now the communist block is far greater in number, yet you are engaging in this rubbish. You better go call those people back.

“FBI Unresponsive to Taiwan”

A senior Taiwanese law enforcement official said Tuesday he could not get American authorities to help the island fight cyber crime - even in cases that directly affected the United States.

Lee Hsiang-chen, director of the High-tech Criminal Center of the National Police Agency, said Taiwanese requests for help from the FBI representative at the American Embassy in Tokyo routinely went unanswered.

Lee made his remarks from Taipei during a video conference with Raul Roldan, acting deputy assistant director of the FBI's cyber crime division. Roldan was taking part in the conference from Hong Kong.

"We have no FBI agents in Taiwan, so when we have cyber crimes involving the U.S., we go through the American Embassy in Tokyo," Lee said. "But very few (of our inquiries) come back. It makes us feel very depressed." -  Associated Press.

Mueller Mad

In an email leaked to the press, Mueller complained of leaked emails and threatened warned agents to shut up:

“FBI chief said to be 'livid' about leaks"

Mueller has spent his five years trying to keep a lid on activities

WASHINGTON — FBI Director Robert Mueller has issued a stern message to the bureau's nearly 30,000 employees warning them against leaks of confidential information, after recent news articles disclosed criminal inquiries involving incumbent lawmakers, mainly House Republicans.

"There have been a number of recent stories in the press attributing sensitive law enforcement information to 'federal law enforcement officials,'" Mueller wrote in an Oct. 26 e-mail message to the entire department.

"While I cannot say they have come from FBI employees, such disclosures do serious damage to our investigations and risk unfairly tarnishing the subjects of our investigations, who enjoy the presumption of innocence," he wrote.

Mueller has tried, during his five-year tenure, to keep a tight lid on the FBI's activities in advance of elections and is said by some associates to have been "livid" at the recent disclosures.

FBI and DOJ “Botching Terrorism Cases”

A follow up on last Month’s Column, where I wrote about Robert “Forest Gump” Mueller, his criminal negligence, what I was told by a British police investigator and a local agent regarding the FBI and the DOJ and what cases they will bring (the ones with huge financial loss).

A week after that Column, articles came out supporting what I set forth in that Column, in the form of a report carried in many articles regarding a finding that the FBI and DOJ are not bringing many terrorism cases, though they had many.

This surprised a lot of people, but I can honestly say I was not surprised in light of what I have seen from Mueller. Every terrorism case should be pursued. Not a single one should be shelved.

I guess innocent people have to die in towering infernos with massive amounts of property damage, producing great financial loss, before it is good enough for the precious Mueller to get off his overpaid butt and pursue justice like the nation's tax dollars pay him to do.

As I wrote last month, just because crimes are being committed against you doesn’t mean justice will be pursued, which is just shameful.

What happens if one of these cases you deem unworthy of your time, turns out to be the very one that destroys many innocent people's lives? Then what?  

Once gain, Mueller, how are you going to give the public angina every 5 minutes ringing the terrorist alarm, then drop the ball?

Either the war on terrorism short-circuited what was left of Mueller's brain or something very unkosher is going on. Maybe he just can't handle the job. That is sincerely my belief. The agents are up to the task and can handle the job, but Mueller is not. 

Your budgets are high; you keep getting increases from Congress, yet the terrorism cases are decreasing in terms of what you choose to prosecute. That doesn't look good. Not listening to the agents again, are we. Not giving them the clearance for necessary warrants again, are we. Remember what happened when you did that last time. Many innocent people died.

And if you think agents have full access to all they need to do their jobs, guess again. Watch this report from earlier in the year where an agent testified of the huge amount of red tape he encountered and sending 70 communiqués to headquarters in attempts to get clearance to investigate a terrorist suspect.

No wonder they are turning in cruddy investigations. With no clearance to get the real goods, what case is there to build.

And some of you probably wondered why months ago I said I would commission my own investigations of what happened in the Madonna Lawsuit (which is working so far), not depending on Mueller.

With Mueller in charge, the criminals have more rights than the victims, especially the famous criminals.

But keep protecting famous criminals (Foley, entertainers, ect). One day one of them is going to let you down very badly, and before everyone in the world, and Congress will have no choice but to come after you for the criminal negligence you utilize in so many cases - cases that have been coming out to the public and thoroughly embarrassing you.

You would do well to remember, when you slap criminals on the wrist for serious crimes, rather than imprisoning them and protecting the public, they start to think they can get away with anything and view it as clearance to do far worse.

"FBI Botches Terrorism Cases"

November 06, 2006 - Sloppy investigative work by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has led prosecutors to reject nearly 90% of international terrorism cases in the last year, lowering drastically the convictions of individuals the U.S. Government has identified as international terrorists.

Though the numbers have peaked in the last year, the trend began around 20001 when the United States Department of Justice began identifying the poor quality of investigations as an obstacle in prosecuting cases targeting suspected terrorists.

Now a report published by an independent research center that studies federal government agencies, reveals just how serious the problem is. Using data from the Justice Department’s Executive Office for United States Attorneys, it reveals that in the last year alone, federal prosecutors declined to bring charges in 131 of 150 international terrorist case referrals from the FBI.” – Corruption Chronicles, Judicial Watch, District of Columbia

"FBI referrals going untried, report says"

From Times Wire Reports

November 6, 2006

The Justice Department increasingly has refused to prosecute FBI cases targeting suspected terrorists over the last five years, according to researchers who reviewed department records. The government says the findings are inaccurate and "intellectually dishonest."

The report being released today by Syracuse University raises questions about the quality of the FBI's investigations.

Prosecutors declined to bring charges in 131 of 150 international terrorist case referrals from the FBI from October 2005 to June 2006, the report said.

The report says there have been steady increases since the 2001 budget year, when prosecutors rejected 33% of such cases. – LA Times

NATIONAL NEWS The Election

Well, I'm glad the election is over. The mudslinging got really bad and it blanketed print and TV media. It seems like it gets worse with each election.

The good news, in my state of Florida the conservatives, Republicans, won. They have control of the Florida senate and legislature. The gay marriage ban, which I support, also passed in several states. 

The bad news, for the country overall, is the Democrats regained control of the House and Senate. I say that because I don't agree with things like gay marriage and abortion and that currently seems to be their agenda. However, the people voted and they voted against gay marriage, so that was good.

The only good I can see coming from them regaining Congress after 12 years, is possibly an end to the war. As I wrote last month, bombing people, "civilians be damned," is not going to work.

Gay Marriage

"In 6 of the 7 states that voted on gay marriage, 6 banned it, amending their state constitution to say marriage is between a man and a woman, with the 7th state, Arizona, being undecided. So the people, via their vote spoke.

Though Arizona was undecided, hopefully, if there is a next time, the vote will swing in the direction of a ban:

"On the marriage issue, most of the proposed constitutional amendments won easily with up to 80 percent of the vote. The measures defining marriage as the union of a man and woman won in Colorado (with 56 percent in favor), Idaho (63 percent), South Carolina (78 percent), South Dakota (52 percent), Tennessee (80 percent), Virginia (57 percent) and Wisconsin (59 percent).

In Colorado, 59 percent of voters also declined to give approval to "domestic partnerships" between people of the same sex.

More than 80 percent of Alabama voters approved a constitutional amendment on marriage there in June. Two years ago in November, voters in 11 states approved constitutional amendments on marriage.

But with voting reports still incomplete, Arizona voters appeared to buck the nationwide trend, defeating their proposed amendment by a 51 percent to 49 percent margin." - Catholic News

.............................................................................................................................

"Voters Say 'I Don't' On Homosexual 'Marriage'"

"(CNSNews.com) - Voters in seven states on Tuesday voted in favor of amending their state constitutions to define marriage as the union between one man and one woman. That's in addition to the 11 states that voted in similar bans on homosexual "marriage" in 2004.

Tennessee voters accepted their amendment by nearly one million votes, the widest margin of the six states. Other amendments in Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin also passed.

The conservative Concerned Women for American said it "rejoices with the American people on these important victories."

NATIONAL NEWS Secret Service Disservice

This was not a good month for the Secret Service. Their reputation took a battering while protecting the Bush twins in Argentina. One agent caught a beatdown and in a separate incident, one of the twins' purses was stolen, while she was being protected by the Secret Service.

A few months ago, I was at a local post office and a man, who resembles Terry Bradshaw (it wasn’t him, I’m just saying, he looks like him) wearing a white dress shirt, grey slacks and glasses, cut ahead of everyone and came up right beside me (I was already at the counter after waiting in line, unlike some people) and said “Secret Service” and gave the post office attendant a utility bill.

Dude, you couldn't have dropped it in the mail box outside, cutting in front of people? What was the point of that.

Everybody in the post office was stunned, including the post office workers.

My friend, who was at another window mailing her documents, being the smart alec she is said, "So, because he is secret service he gets to cut in the line." Thankfully, he didn't hear her...you know, with them having guns and all. 

Maybe if they spent less time cutting in line and bawling out their title, they’d be better purse watchers.

In all seriousness, with the amount of threats the government gets and most likely against members of their families as well, you can't afford to drop the ball.

What a telling breach of security that is very disturbing. You need to do better than that, as those girls don’t deserve that kind of laxity. They aren’t politicians. They were just girls on vacation. 

Clearly, they need someone from the LAPD to guard them, because if there’s one thing the LAPD knows how to do, is hand out a beatdown (LOL).

That headline would have read differently:

“News At 11: LAPD officer lays the smack down on would be purse-snatcher”

Either that, or get Cheney to do security. Cheney would pepper the life out of a purse-snatcher:

NATIONAL NEWS LAPD Video

I’m not going to comment on this case, until there is more information available (yea, I don’t want them to beat me down too), but this video shows a few problems.

a.) The guy looks like he really can’t breathe.

b.) This is also not safe, as it involves direct contact of blood through battered skin. Diseases spread that way, like AIDS and Hepatitis C. Cops should be careful engaging in fights that could break the skin on their fists and mix it with blood created from the impact of a hit to someone else’s skin.

NATIONAL NEWS Cops Fed Weed Unbeknownst To Them

Would you like some weed with your order of fries:

"Burger King sued over marijuana in police officers' burgers"

"Two US police officers have sued Burger King Corp., alleging personal injury, negligence, battery and violation of fair practices after they were served hamburgers that had been sprinkled with marijuana.

"It gives a whole new meaning to the word Whopper," said the officers' attorney Sam Bregman. "The idea that these hoodlums would put marijuana into a hamburger and therefore attempt to impair law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs is outrageous."

The civil lawsuit was filed in state District Court in Bernalillo County by Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon, officers for the Isleta Pueblo tribal police.

Officials at Miami-based Burger King declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing pending litigation.

The lawsuit says the officers were in uniform and riding in a marked patrol car when they purchased meals through the drive-through lane on 8 October at a Burger King restaurant in Los Lunas, New Mexico

The officers ate about half of their burgers before discovering marijuana on the meat. They used a field test kit to confirm the substance was pot, then went to a hospital for medical evaluations.

Three Burger King employees — Justin Armijo, 19; Robert Nuckols, 21; and manager Joseph Ledesma, 33 — were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and aggravated battery on an officer, a felony. They subsequently were indicted.

"God forbid these officers didn't realize their burgers were laced with pot and then were called to a violent situation where they'd have to draw their firearms," Bregman said. "Their lives were placed in danger because of these idiots and Burger King."–The Independent

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Cruise Lines 

A follow up on last month’s Column regarding missing persons and deaths on cruises. Another person, a senior citizen, fell over board the next day and is presumed dead. As I wrote last month, clearly more security is needed:

"OAP goes missing from cruise ship"

A search is under way for a Scottish pensioner who has disappeared from a cruise ship going from Spain to the US.

James Ewan, 73, of Burntisland, Fife, was travelling alone.

Celebrity Cruises said a crew member reported Mr Ewan missing on Wednesday after it was discovered he had not used his cabin.

A company spokeswoman said the ship had retraced its path to look for the pensioner but after several hours the coastguard took over the search.

The ship, Celebrity Century, left Madeira on Wednesday but logs indicated Mr Ewan had not disembarked there.           

When security records showed he had not gone off the ship the captain was told

The liner was on a 14-night transatlantic cruise from Barcelona, Spain, to Miami, which began last Friday. It is now continuing on its route.

Spokeswoman Lynn Martenstein said the company was reviewing surveillance tapes and talking to people who might have seen the pensioner.

Celebrity, which is owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises, said it had notified the British Embassy authorities, Portuguese maritime police, Bahamian maritime authorities, and the FBI.

A crew member raised the alarm two hours after the ship left port in Madeira, after observing that Mr Ewan's cabin did not appear to have been occupied that day.

"When security records showed he had not gone off the ship the captain was told," Ms Martenstein said.

Public announcements

She said public announcements were made asking Mr Ewan to identify himself to crew but when there was no response a detailed search of the liner's public areas and cabins began.

"We are trying to determine if anyone saw him," Ms Martenstein said. "Did he buy anything in the gift shop, or talk to anyone at dinner?

"We're trying to put all of those bits of information together to find out where he might be or what might have happened."

Maritime police in Gibraltar and Spain have also been alerted.” – BBC November 2, 2006

INTERNATIONAL NEWS Oil

Attention Jed Clampett: A geologist made a statement recently regarding his belief that there is untold amounts of oil in the world:

"Geologist: Earth has lots and lots of oil"

"SPOKANE, Wash.- A University of Washington economic geologist says there is lots of crude oil left for human use.

Eric Cheney said Friday in a news release that changing economics, technological advances and efforts such as recycling and substitution make the world's mineral resources virtually infinite.

For instance, oil deposits unreachable 40 years ago can be tapped using improved technology, and oil once too costly to extract from tar sands, organic matter or coal is now worth manufacturing. Though some resources might be costlier now, they still are needed." - Netscape

SPIRITUAL Revenge

Sometimes in life great injustices happen, but it is not up to us to take it upon ourselves to take revenge. Then we would be no better that the one doing wrong.

Don't be destructive. Even if the world is corrupt, you  needn't be. Each man will pay for the wrong he does in life. You, however, keep your hands clean.

Revenge isn't the answer, as God says "Vengeance is mine. I will repay."
