ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-SEVEN

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE GATE CRASHING ENGINEER

This case involved a 48 year old locomotive engineer who was putting cooling water into his engine in a small station in Hillsboro, Oregon .  The station was in an old wooden building, which had a platform made of wood that was rotting due to constant dampness found underneath and not readily observable.

This engineer was quite large, in excess of 270 pounds, and as he walked over to check the level of water, the wood gave way beneath him, causing him to go crashing through and he landed straddling a wooden cross beam and also injured his head.  As his upper body went forward he struck his head on the side of the locomotive.  He was unable to get out from the hole in the floor, while the rest of the crew was in the station unaware that the accident had occurred.

After thirty minutes of yelling, he attracted a passerby who then went into the station and notified the crew.  An ambulance was called and his crotch was iced down and he was taken to the hospital.  In addition to being rendered impotent he claimed numerous other injuries including multiple contusions, lacerations, concussion, and double vision in his eyes, which would come on randomly at unexpected times.

Because of the double vision he could not work for the railroad and retired while he was in his early 40's incurring a large future wage loss.  He happened to have a neighbor who was not exactly enamored with him and called the railroad giving good information for surveillance which included a schedule of him attending model railroad meetings and shows in various locations in Oregon.  While he had a model locomotive and railcars they were much larger than a child's toy train.  he would actually sit in the engine and pull the cars with numerous children riding in the cars.

The question could be posed to the jury as to how he could operate this train with double vision without endangering the children?  We obtained surveillance film showing this as well as him pushing the cars up and down the railroad tracks.

We also obtained a great amount of footage of him operating the train with children riding in the cars.

One of the most humorous things the neighbor told us was that a couple of gay men had moved into the neighboring property where the plaintiff lived.  He had pounded a sign into their property, which said, "No Butt Fucking".  During the negotionations I asked his attorney to questing his client about this sign and the engineer became very upset and said, "Who is the mole?"

While this was a liability case it was settled very reasonably.      

RAILROAD LEGENDS

Around the railroad there are many legendary characters and their wide spread reputations grow with each telling of the story.  Following are a few of the legends that I remember.

THE LEGEND OF JETSTREAM JOE THE RACKETEER

Joe was a superintendent on the railroad who became legendary because of his illicit activities.  He was into drugs and would force his secretary to go out and purchase them and to find and pay prostitutes for their services to him.  She would then recover the cost by submitting a fraudulent expense account, which he would approve and submit to the railroad accounting department so that she would be reimbursed.  This created a lot of pressure on the lady and she had to seek out psychiatric treatment. She later filed a lawsuit in which the railroad paid a premium to settle.

Joe's activities on the railroad ultimately came to an end when he flew to Mexico, supposedly for business, in the corporate jet.  His wife, with whom he was undergoing a divorce, turned him into the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). As the corporate jet flew back from Mexico into U.S. air space over Texas, the DEA forced it to land.  They found the plane was full of cocaine, which they confiscated along with the plane.  This was the end of Joe's employment at the railroad.

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "Daughter or Doubter" and one case from the section called Railroad Legends known as the Legend of "Scrapiron Don".  little guy ™ 12/24/2013

TO PAY FOR OBAMACARE SOME FOLKS CAN'T PAY THE RENT OR BUY THE BASIC STAPLES SUCH AS FOODS NECESSARY FOR A PROPER DIET "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth." Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin" - Obama and the idiots made a law that the payment of Obamacare supersedes in importance the payment of rent, food, utilities...Obamacare must be paid first and foremost so say Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton and all the rest as it is a tax (Priority).- lg.

Outrageous example of total Bull-crap thrown on the American people for over five years by the Progressive Democrats lead by Barack Obama.  Folks were struggling trying to get a head, some times it was hard to pay all of the monthly bills and suddenly onto the scene was Barack Obama and the rest of the progressive Democrats to promise folks hope of a Medicare like system for all; one you already paid into and designed to be paid into for life and thus free, and what we received was a monthly bill in many Americans experience to be over $700.00 a month for a health insurance product far less then what they could have had on the free Market System.  What a horrible lie.  What a horrible existence for folks now scrambling to pay Obamacare premiums while having to let food, clothing, medical and dental visits, rent and other necessities of life go unpaid.  It is creating a CREDIT DISASTER FOR AMERICA as well as a HEALTH DISASTER.

When this editor ponders about our times in America, I can't picture all our past glories with this horrible picture of America Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and all the rest have painted.  As soon as one opens their trap, I am pleasantly pleased if any thing they ever say can be verified, but on the face of things, never listen to or believe anything especially the three stooges of Obama, Reid and Pelosi.  Only an idiot listens to the talking head liberals anymore and this editor might opine that in many circles saying one is a liberal is becoming a nasty thing; untrustworthy, disloyal, prone to lie, force folks to pass bills before they read them, abandon our folks in harms way like Benghazi, destroy our way of life with half backed schemes from the halls of communism and socialism which have always failed in the past causing their respective nations to fail, and truly too much more.  Today the words liberal and democrat meanings based on outcomes we the people experience as a result of the three stooges handiwork, and with support of the rest of their ilk, have made a mess out of world affairs, our military, our world message, our economy, our interpersonal inter-political relationships, foreign trade and just about any important subject which comes up.  Why Obama lied when he called "Bush a traitor" for having accrued a 10.5 trillion dollar deficit while his is over 17 trillion.  If you like your Doctor you can keep your Doctor, if you like your insurance policy you can keep your insurance policy and what is far worse is the promise of a hope for inexpensive health insurance but receive notice of bills in excess of $700 per month.  Go to the website and try to calculate your policy containing all of the health insurance services you were promised.  Why even catastrophic insurance only is literally thousands of times more expense then it was before the greatest BAIT AND SWITCH AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OCCURRED, OBAMACARE.  Yes Obamacare is the greatest bait and switch against the American people in history and the destruction of the greatest medical care system in the world; one where folks rushed for a quality not found outside of the US.  And now folks are fleeing America for medical care in Mexico or Candida and many more countries.

To pay for Obamacare some folks can't pay their rent.  Some folks will have to leave necessary foods out of their diet in order to try to find the money to pay their monthly Obamacare bill. Obama and the idiots made a law that the payment of Obamacare supersedes in importance the payment of rent, food, utilities...Obamacare must be paid first and foremost so say Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton and all the rest as it is a tax (Priority).  And because of truths such as this, mandate an immediate repeal of the ACA or Obamacare.  And that is today's thoughts on this Sunday the 22nd of December in the year of our lord 2013. little guy ™ Dr. Scott Neff 12/22/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - PAT BOONE ON THE BARACK OBAMA DEBACLE SUBMITTED BY ANTONIO

this is an actual letter written by Pat Boone - and very well written, I might add.  This is an excellent commentary that should be read by every American.

The President Without A Country by Pat Boone

"We're no longer a Christian nation." - President Barack Obama, June 2009

"America has been arrogant." - President Barack Obama

"After 9/11, America didn't always live up to her ideals."- President Barack Obama

"You might say that America is a Muslim nation."- President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009

Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president, I keep wondering what country he believes he's president of.

In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale's "The Man without a Country," a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr.  When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, "Damn the United States ! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!"

The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing.  After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: "You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again.  I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country's naval vessels - under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed."

And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan's dying hours in his small stateroom - now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore - never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America , refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.

But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president - a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white - I want to ask him, "Just what country do you think you're president of?"

You surely can't be referring to the United States of America, can you?  America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception!  Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian.  The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It's because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.

You studied law at Harvard, didn't you, sir?  You taught constitutional law in Chicago ?  Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark "Federalist Papers": "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers - and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation - to select and prefer Christians for their rulers"?

In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: "Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian."

Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900's that echoed and reinforced these views and intentions?  Did you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a "wall of separation between church and state" was used to deny some specific religious expression - contrary to Jefferson's intent with that statement?

Or, wait a minute: were your ideas about America 's Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright?  Is that where you got the idea that " America is no longer a Christian nation"? Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that " America has been arrogant"?

Even if that's the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of "not always living up to her ideals," how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be "considered a Muslim nation"?

Is it because there are some 2 million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians?  Does that make us, by any rational definition, a "Muslim nation"?

Why are we not, then, a "Chinese nation"?  A "Korean nation"?  Even a "Vietnamese nation"? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you're trying to make is a religious one, why is America not "a Jewish nation"?  There's actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution - and the success of our Revolution and founding - owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.

Have you stopped to think what an actual Muslim America would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran ? Even in Egypt?  You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Shariah law. Can't you?  You do recall Muhammad's directives [Surah 9:5,73] to "break the cross" and "kill the infidel"?

It seems increasingly and painfully obvious that you are more influenced by your upbringing and questionable education than most suspected. If you consider yourself the president of a people who are "no longer Christian," who have "failed to live up to our ideals," who "have been arrogant," and might even be "considered Muslim" - you are president of a country most Americans don't recognize.  Could it be you are a president without a country?

Dear Antonio,

JUST AS THIS EDITOR OPINEDSome say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin"

In many of the articles below this editor opined that the Millennials or young Americans (Generation Y) would reject Obamacare because it was a bad deal for them.  Well the numbers came out this week in a Harvard University poll which advised 57% of young Americans reject Obamacare.

Folks this editor is still young at heart.  Did you know that when I was eighteen your editor was manager for the Clothing Store called Young America at lake Minnetonka Minnesota?  Weeeeeeell I simply put myself in their shoes and reported that "if young Americans had to bear the burden for the entire nation's health care costs, many of whom still live at home with their parents, they would hate the Obamacare pyramid scheme".  You see all other programs such as social security or Medicare relied on folks working their entire lives and based on what they had put in during their lives.  Not young Americans in their formative years or working their first job in many cases, or fresh out of College!   Obamacare is a foolish design.  In fact a stupid design which has robbed our nations Military of its funding, Medicare to the tune of now over 800 Billion Dollars, caused the best insurance polices to be cancelled, causing Employers to realize it is UNAFFORDABLE to continue to offer the American dream of finding a job which offers Health Insurance as a benefit.

If you like stupid government your happy.  If you miss the great and powerful America we had through President Bush your unhappy.  but what is worse is the American Dream was killed off by Obamacare and its forced taxation of those who may be down and out.  You see what made America great and offered the stairs to financial success and indolence was the fact that during a down cycle in a citizens earning potential, they could decide to not buy health insurance if they were healthy to conserve funds until their employment situation improved.  And that was for folks who were young and just beginning their employment experience to those more seesawed hard workers who may experience the normal and customary down cycle for their earning abilities.  But with Obamacare folks are being taxed or forced to buy plans that in and of themselves drive Americans into Bankruptcy to avoid other daily costs of living.  Crazy, loony, poorly thought out, and of course absent a working model, Obamacare is forced onto the people akin to the types of laws which caused our American revolution. 

Folks if you like communism or Obamacare you are forced to keep Obamacare and if you like the American way you are forced away from the very foundations built by our FOUNDING FATHERS.

Well the proof is in, this editor was correct in my prognostication that young Americans will hate Obamacare now that THEY WERE ALLOWED TO READ AND EXPERIENCE THE BILL.  57% of young Americans hate Obamacare and can you envision these young voters running to folks like Senator Paul and his truth brigade for the American Way and abandon support for the communists leaning progressive Democrat party.  "You just can't make this stuff up"! 

Folks lets join together to rekindle the American Way for the good of all Americans and may the lord continue to bless America. little guy ™ 12/5/2013

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

This is unbelievable.  This is an indication as to how and why Obama became the President of the most powerful nation on earth.  May God have mercy on us.  Hit this link now!!!!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 

Most folks can't imagine the hardships the Pilgrims endured after arriving in Plymouth in 1620.  But with the help of the Squanto and other Wampanoag Indians who taught them how to fish, grow corn and farm the land, they were able to create a new life of freedom for themselves and a way of life passed down to us through this very day.

By the end of their first year, the Puritans held a celebration of the fruits of their farming labors called the "harvest feast". The feast honored Squanto and the rest of the Wampanoag Indians and was followed by three days of "thanksgiving" celebrating their good fortune.

Folks, it is in this tradition, that we all celebrate Thanksgiving. The American Academy for Justice Through Sciences wish's all folks a happy, healthy and thought provoking Thanksgiving Holliday. little guy ™ 11/28/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - THE DOOLITTLE RAIDERS

Please post this so everyone, especially those who were too young to know about these guys can read it. This should be read by every kid in grade and high school so they know what happened.   On Tuesday, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the surviving Doolittle Raiders gathered publicly for the last time.   It's the cup of brandy that no one wants to drink. Stormin Norman Udewitz

They once were among the most universally admired and revered men in the United States. There were 80 of the Raiders in April 1942, when they carried out one of the most courageous and heart-stirring military operations in this nation's history. The mere mention of their unit's name, in those years, would bring tears to the eyes of grateful Americans.
Now only four survive.

After Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, with the United States reeling and wounded, something dramatic was needed to turn the war effort around.

Even though there were no friendly airfields close enough to Japan for the United States to launch retaliation, a daring plan was devised. Sixteen B-25s were modified so that they could take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. This had never before been tried -- sending such big, heavy bombers from a carrier. The 16 five-man crews, under the command of Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who himself flew the lead plane off the USS Hornet, knew that they would not be able to return to the carrier. They would have to hit Japan and then hope to make it to China for a safe landing.But on the day of the raid, the Japanese military caught wind of the plan. The Raiders were told that they would have to take off from much farther out in the Pacific Ocean than they had counted on. They were told that because of this they would not have enough fuel to make it to safety. And those men went anyway.They bombed Tokyo, and then flew as far as they could. Four planes crash-landed; 11 more crews bailed out, and three of the Raiders died. Eight more were captured; three were executed. Another died of starvation in a Japanese prison camp. One crew made it to Russia.The Doolittle Raid sent a message from the United States to its enemies, and to the rest of the world: We will fight. And, no matter what it takes, we will win.

Of the 80 Raiders, 62 survived the war. They were celebrated as national heroes, models of bravery. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a motion picture based on the raid; "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," starring Spencer Tracy and Van Johnson, was a patriotic and emotional box-office hit, and the phrase became part of the national lexicon. In the movie-theater previews for the film, MGM proclaimed that it was presenting the story "with supreme pride."Beginning in 1946, the surviving Raiders have held a reunion each April, to commemorate the mission. The reunion is in a different city each year. In 1959, the city of Tucson, Arizona, as a gesture of respect and gratitude, presented the Doolittle Raiders with a set of 80 silver goblets. Each goblet was engraved with the name of a Raider.Every year, a wooden display case bearing all 80 goblets is transported to the reunion city. Each time a Raider passes away, his goblet is turned upside down in the case at the next reunion, as his old friends bear solemn witness.
Also in the wooden case is a bottle of 1896 Hennessy Very Special cognac. The year is not happenstance: 1896 was when Jimmy Doolittle was born.

There has always been a plan: When there are only two surviving Raiders, they would open the bottle, at last drink from it, and toast their comrades who preceded them in death.

As 2013 began, there were five living Raiders; then, in February, Tom Griffin passed away at age 96.What a man he was. After bailing out of his plane over a mountainous Chinese forest after the Tokyo raid, he became ill with malaria, and almost died. When he recovered, he was sent to Europe to fly more combat missions. He was shot down, captured, and spent 22 months in a German prisoner of war camp.

The selflessness of these men, the sheer guts. There was a passage in the Cincinnati Enquirer obituary for Mr. Griffin that, on the surface, had nothing to do with the war, but that emblematizes the depth of his sense of duty and devotion:

"When his wife became ill and needed to go into a
nursing home, he visited her every day. He walked from his house to the nursing home, fed his wife and at the end of the day brought home her clothes. At night, he washed and ironed her clothes. Then he walked them up to her room the next morning. He did that for three years until her death in 2005."

So now, out of the original 80, only four Raiders remain: Dick Cole (Doolittle's co-pilot on the Tokyo raid), Robert Hite, Edward Saylor and David Thatcher. All are in their 90s. They have decided that there are too few of them for the public reunions to continue.

The events in Fort Walton Beach this week will mark the end. It has come full circle; Florida 's nearby Eglin Field was where the Raiders trained in secrecy for the Tokyo mission. The town is planning to do all it can to honor the men: a six-day celebration of their valor, including luncheons, a dinner and a parade.

Do the men ever wonder if those of us for whom they helped save the country have tended to it in a way that is worthy of their sacrifice? They don't talk about that, at least not around other people. But if you find yourself near Fort Walton Beach this week, and if you should encounter any of the Raiders, you might want to offer them a word of thanks. I can tell you from firsthand observation that they appreciate hearing that they are remembered.

The men have decided that after this final public reunion they will wait until a later date -- sometime this year -- to get together once more, informally and in absolute privacy. That is when they will open the bottle of brandy. The years are flowing by too swiftly now; they are not going to wait until there are only two of them.

They will fill the four remaining upturned goblets.  And raise them in a toast to those who are gone. Their 70th Anniversary Photo

IRAN SAYSSS BEND OVER AND BARACK SSSAID HOW FAR

Years ago when I coined the phrase "You just can't make this stuff up (Part of a joke sent to the Tonight Show for $50...)" I never dreamt a president could go before "we the people" while running for re-election followed by the Israeli Prime Minister drawing a line at the top of a bomb, and then have that same president sign a bill allowing the magic number of 5% enrichment for nuclear weapons.  You see reach 5% means your doing it right and then shazam, the A bomb.  The hypocrisy is so great that it is almost astonishing relative to someone you can have faith that they keep their word, but sadly predictable to the more understood Barack Obama. 

The following are some lines of humor which exemplify what we have done and are doing as a nation on the national stage.  The humor follows (ps the s's above are correct because Barack likes to sit on his s's when he speaksss):

FOLKS JUST CAN'T AGREE WITH BARACK OBAMA ON ANYTHING ANYMORESome say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin"

The Winds of Change are sweeping across America and it appears the loony PROGRESSIVE Dem's will be the last to realize it.  Just as support for Democrats seem to come out of the blue once the big time money grubbing BANKERS ruined the end of Presidents Bush's second term, a real distrust and dissatisfaction with Democrats is sweeping across the nation.  Not one patient in over a months time has agreed with anything the President or the Democrats are doing.  That's antithetical to the way things were during Barack's first term and early months after his re-election.  The Winds of Change away from Barack Obama and the Democrats is a reality. And the absence of critical thinking ability came this week with America bending over to take it in the butt from Iran.  The America run by Barack Obama and the Democrat party has weakened dramatically from Health Care to foreign policy, from the absence of supervision and response in Benghazi to attacking the opposition party with devices/government agencies, to weak foreign policy evidenced by our relations and policies with Russia, Syria, Iran, Libya and so much more making it far more difficult to simply live in America then pre-Barack Obama and the Progressive Democrats taking over.

Many folks believe that Barack sincerely dislikes most majority Americans and most religions unless they are tied to those that cause Terrorism, but openly appears the kindly loving fellow who speaks with overly pronounced S's.  What we see is not what we get.  We were told by the official spokesperson for Obamacare we did not need to read what was in the bill to pass the bill.  We should buy a pig in a poke.  Today, everyone who shares the reality of the masses hates Obamacare and everything it stands for; a litany of government bureaucratic waste each and every time they simply need to see a physician.  Benghazi, Egyptian -Libyan-Syrian-Iran policy is anti-American and not only hurts the image of America now and in the future but weakens the US and destabilizes ALL US POLICIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS UNTIL THE UPSETTING BURDENSOME BARACK OBAMA ERA where Democrats claim it is aright that the rest of the folks fear our government and what it might do to not only the individual, but to business, to our Doctors or our Priests, to the free market system, and to remove many of our basic freedoms as well as almost make it illegal to be successful while systematically destroying the wealth of America.  All why raising taxes and increasing Presidential spending where Barack Obama has spent more money then all the Presidents combined placing a super heavy Burdon on America's children and their children forevermore.

If the Senate agrees to Obama's bend over posture for Iran, the Democrats may in effect be destroying their credibility for generations to come.  What was good for the goose with Bush will be good for the gander with Obama.

This editor never thought that in my lifetime we would see such phony numbers used to tell us about the health of our nation.  Lets review accurate numbers when reported:

Out of Work                                     2009             Presently

                                                         2.6 Million     23+ Million out of Work with 90 million who have stopped looking for work and ignored by the present Administration

Insurance             5 million personally insured.  5 million personal citizen insurance polices         

                                                                               cancelled.

                     450 million insured through work.  Predicted possibly 450 million to lose insurance.

Unemployment                                 7.8%             7.3%  with phony numbers at elections discovered

Children in Poverty                         1 in 25           1 in 5

Adults in Poverty                             1 in 15           1 in 6

USA will never have Toxic loans=depression Obama gives Toxic loans

Food Stamps                                  32 Million      47 Million

Median House Hold Income          $54,983         $50,964 (Down 4 grand)

Gasoline/Gallon                              $1.85              $3.61 premium (Cost ↑)

National Debt            

                                                           $10.2T          >$17 Trillion up big time and growing!

National Deficit                                 $5.4 Billion   $1.2 Trillion

US Beef cents per pound                $107.13           190.00 (Up~ Souring to poverty)

Internationally always giving more to the Russians, Iranians, Syrians and Terrorists in other nations off mike then they promise Americans.

Well folks it is clear why "thinking Americans" which is not necessarily the overly talking Democrats feel they simply no longer agree with Barack Obama on much of anything or find little in the way of common ground with progressive Democrats.  And this is the trend for this 24th day of November in the year of our lord 2013. little guy ™ 11/24/2013

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

There is no reference publication for this - but it certainly "cuts right to the point"......George Will now on FOX News seems to indicate a shift in position.  Move Over, Jimmy Carter
NO ONE has expressed this better than columnist George Will!  Doc my position changed to George Will's.  His words follow:

America has had some great presidents, many mediocre ones and a few bad ones.  But we’ve never had one like Barack Obama.  He’s the first who thinks the job is beneath him.
He’s the first who turns political give-and-take into a crisis by refusing to negotiate with Congress.  He’s the first who thinks the way to more power is to inflict pain on ordinary people.
The move to barricade the World War II memorial reveals the mentality of a tin-pot dictator. The limited government shutdown did not need to affect the memorial because it is open 24 hours, without gates and often without guards.  But to turn public opinion in his favor, Obama’s goons trucked in barricades to keep out World War II vets and other visitors.  By one estimate, the barricades and workers cost $100,000.  The same punish-the-people attitude led to shutdowns of other parks and historic sites that get no federal funding.  “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.  It’s disgusting,” a Park Service ranger told The Washington Times.  The ranger cited the order to close the parking lot at George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon so visitors couldn’t use it.  The cheap trick captured the contrast between a revered president and the current one.  I’ve been saying for a while that there is no bottom to Obama.  He’s not just ruthless.  He’s without scruples and honor. - George Will

Dear Val VIP,

I hadn't listened to George Will in quite a while (he was an Obama supporter years back I believe) working six day's a week simply trying to make ends meet but his opinion is certainly an eye opener.  Thank you for contributing to my readers reading pleasure and I hope you continue to read and submit articles to the InfoJustice Journal.  little guy ™ 11/19/2013

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-SIX

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE AMBULANCE CHASING ATTORNEY

I received a telephone call that a 36 year old brakeman, who was well known for presenting injury claims, had received a back injury while detraining from a moving railroad car with a bent grabiron at the Los Angeles Harbor.  I immediately drove down to the railroad office b ecause this case looked very suspicious, as the union representative who was know to solicit injury cases for a certain attorney, had come to the rail yard at midnight the night before and had a meeting with the injured brakemen and his crew prior to the report of any injury.  At the end of the meeting they walked out into a dark rail yard, and spent about an hour there.  The crew then went to work at around 3:30 A.M.. and the brakemen later reported he had injured his back.

It was suspected that any back injury occurred prior to him coming to the job and that he had simply gone out to the yard to find a bad railcar so he could claim an on the job injury.  In observing the railcar, there was a bent grabiron making this a safety Appliance Act case.  I then drove to the brakemen's home, which was in a middle class working neighborhood.  Parked in front of the house was a new Cadillac with a Beverly Hill license holder.

I went to the door and knocked and the brakeman's wife came to the door. I told her I was a claim agent from the railroad and wanted to talk to her husband about the injury the night before.  She became very nervous and agitated, and almost screamed at me that her husband was in pain and under medication and was sleeping and could not see me.  I thanked her and walked away from the front door.  I could se the curtains moving in the window and knew I was being observed.

I casually walked over to my car, opened the trunk, and removed a camera.  I then stood in the open an located a roll of film in the camera.  Following this I walked over and took pictures of the new Cadillac with the Beverly Hills license plate holder with the house in the background.  All of this time I was being observed from within the house.  I then left and drove back to the office and asked the railroad police to run a make on the license plate.  As I had expected it had come back registered to a plaintiff attorney who was noted for bring lawsuits against the railroad for injured employees.

My activities had made this plaintiff attorney somewhat paranoid, as he was fearful of solicitation charges being brought against him.  This caused the case to settle for a very nominal amount and the employee was back to work in a short period of time.

RAILROAD LEGENDS

Around the railroad there are many legendary characters and their wide spread reputations grow with each telling of the story.  Following are a few of the legends that I remember.

THE PIGEON MAN

A railroad police officer was driving a patrol vehicle, at what he claimed to be a very slow speed, in one of the major Los Angeles rail yards.  he alleged that he was startled by a flock of pigeons, which suddenly flew up, and he laid down thirty feet of skid marks in a straight line and collided with a concrete bridge abutment.  He was too embarrassed to present a claim but gained the nickname of the Pigeon Man.

THE COUPLING MAN

This legend involved a railroad switchman who was accidentally between two rail cars when the drawbars came together and made a coupling through his midsection.  A doctor and ambulance came to the scene and the doctor advised that when the railcars were separated the man would die.  A priest was then called who gave him his last rights. his wife also came to the scene and said goodbye.  Although he was in a lot of pain he was still conscious.

When the railcars were disconnected he did die. This one of the more somber yet instructive legends on the railroad as no one wants to be the Coupling Man.    Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Gate Crashing Engineer" and one case from the section called Railroad Legends known as the Legend of "Jet-Stream Joe the Racketeer".  little guy ™ 11/19/2013

OBAMA GIVES IRAN THE FARM AS A WHITEWASH FOR THE OBAMA CARE FIASCO

Clearly everyone appreciates Barracks spin the news attempt with a Deal for Iran to black out his negative coverage from the Obamacare fallout, and thus control what "we the people" think.  Yet what is amazing is that Barack is actually doing it knowing so many folks have caught on and this deal is a horrific bring our world to the brink of nuclear war by Iran against first Israel which is their (Iran's) Promise!  Next the US; sneak a few nuclear devices to their terrorist groups and too much more all so our President can find cover from his presentation and PROMISE of a working Obamacare program when it turns out there never was a working model and the whole thing was a "Card house built in a wind tunnel which runs daily"..."build the card house and by the end of the day it blows away, and waist money the next day and over and over and over again.

The deal with Iran must be prevented or cancelled at all costs.  That is all this editor can say, as this deal with the devil for a short period of time for personal political cover exemplifies what we have been living with save finally this administration openly believes folks don't have what it takes to see all the truths about our President and his administration.  Thus such camouflaged mixed messages and negatives for America become more obvious and endlessly recur. little guy ™ 11/17/2013-"And now personal health insurance with $2,000 to 10,000 deductibles for things which occur yearly for parents and teachers of children or even injuries, will act as an additional drain on the house hold incomes especially for those trying to build a new family or who are on a fixed incomes suffering due to their illness, in the year of our lord 2013, this third day of November." - lg

PRESIDENT OBAMA DOESN'T GET IT AND OFFERS ZERO HEART FELT EMPATHY Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin"And now personal health insurance with $2,000 to 10,000 deductibles for things which occur yearly for parents and teachers of children or even injuries, will act as an additional drain on the house hold incomes especially for those trying to build a new family or who are on a fixed incomes suffering due to their illness, in the year of our lord 2013, this third day of November." - lg

Today in our Presidents talk to the White House Press Core he demonstrated words of apology which doesn't bring back folks great Etna, Anthem, Blue Shield Blue Cross and so forth plans to over 5 million folks now dropped and growing.  Why?  A forced order to the Insurance Industry to try to rebuild lost or canceled insurance plans is the same as trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again.  There has been too much damage and there is not enough money in the world to recreate plans no longer in existence (PROGRAMS DISCARDED, ERASED, SALES SCRIP'S SCRAPPED, FUNDS TRANSFERRED) for ONLY ONE YEAR and thus creating a loss for the already Obamacare induced besieged Insurance Industry.  Get it?  And Barack thinks he fumbled the ball but no, he ruined folks lives done consciously or unconsciously.  Did you know the Insurance Industry under Obamacare gets a huge payoff down the line for erasing the past and falling in line.  And now the Industry is to turn on a dime at a political negative for the president which was oh so predictable.  The Insurance Industry feels like they are on Obama's spin machine and are divided and uncertain about the future of their Industry absent the free society we had just a few years ago.

Why can Barack Obama get away with this greatest blunders of all presidential blunders?  Some folks, skeptics perhaps see Obama as a pie in the sky liberal who looks at the world through rose-colored glasses.  And when he is attacked he then runs around like Chicken Little saying "the sky is falling, the sky is falling" or his polices make it seem like the sky will fall like his never-ending desire to raise the deficit and debt limit...raise it light-years past our nations ability to afford such spending and on and on.  No Obama isn't some heinous Martian trying to destroy our nation.  He and his cohorts are pie in the sky liberals with some well meaning philanthropic idea which they then blunder into absent any WORKING MODEL and throw our nation into poverty like Greece and other nations lead by FOOLS who peddle perpetual uncertainty as one ventures down this road money is sucked away from a nation like lose trillions of  $1,000 bills left near a vacuum cleaner the size of Los Angeles County turned to full suction.  Pity though because now the fools run our nation. 

Barack made promises THAT FOLKS BET THE BANK ON!  But now that folks are in real pain and living in fear because of Obamacare, waking up every morning across this nation with that horrible feeling of nervousness that they are uninsured and some may decide to take the penalty because they hate the new plans offered with their high deductibles or periods of zero health insurance coverage, and others must purchase one of these plans they hate and never dreamed would be a FORCED TAXED OPTION, concomitant with the folks who are and will lose their insurance because employers will be abandoning the offer of insurance as a part of employ-The Great American Dream.  Yes part of the American Dream was to get a job which also offers Insurance as a BENEFIT!   It is a fact that these progressive Democrats killed off the American Dream of getting a job and not having to spend all the extra effort, motivation, enthusiasm and time with broken websites and a now broken government.  FACT.  Our present Administration has already spent over 1 Billion Dollars on a broken website designed by a Canadian Company completely unfamiliar with our American Insurance Industry.  This is a prime example of bumbling and a fumbling away of tax payer dollars, citizens hopes and dreams, or more plainly the worst attempt any President has demonstrated for one of their own legislative designs.  Why its un-American.

FACT.  Hillary Clinton sent me an invitation to attend meetings for her health Care Plan back in the early 1990's.  I flew to Miami and attended the meetings at the Justice Building on the Miami Medical School Campus.  In fact I kept the invitation which has Hillarie's picture on the front of the invitation.  Folks that system was designed by Physicians and was to be run by Physicians.  And they even invited a Chiropractor albeit a Certified Fraud and Certified Forensic Examiner (me) who stood up and spoke at those meetings.  Today's Unaffordable Health Care bill is a travesty of justice and a bastardization of the American Medical System and American Insurance System.

I feel the pain of my fellow Americans and from this understanding express my sympathy for my fellow Americans and understand their fear of our Government.  More and more folks express to this examiner they now fear our government!  Folks this web site was designed by this humble patriot over seventeen years ago which exemplifies the American Spirit.  When this editor compares how folks felt and how they loved our government until the Obama/Progressive Democrat era it pains me to detail such truths.

We need to elect folks who can feel what the AVERAGE citizen feels, and who listens to "we the people" and keeps their promises.  These are not glorious times for our nation as we can do much much better then the folks we have elected to lead us. little guy ™ 11/14/2013

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE DAY THE UNION CASE BLEW

One day I received word that a trainman had slipped and his foot went under a moving rail and was amputated.  I immediately went to the scene with a co-worker and photographed all four corners of the car, as we were unsure which ladder the employee was trying to board (we knew he was trying to get on a moving car).  This was a brand new car with a new paint job and all the ladders and handholds were in mint condition.  There was no grease or oil on the surface of the car.  The employee later retained an attorney and the railroad was sued.

During the trial the plaintiff's attorney produced pictures of a bent grabiron and argued that he had a Safety Appliance case.  The defense produced testimony from myself and a co-worker that there were no bent grabirons, and our pictures were also admitted into evidence.  These pictures were taken within one hour of the injury.

While the plaintiff's pictures showed the bent grabiron, they were taken the next day.  The plaintiff attorney advised he received his pictures during his investigation from a union representative.

The jury rightfully concluded that the union representative had taken a hammer and pounded on the grabiron in an attempt to prove a fraudulent Safety Appliance case.  The jury award was a defense verdict.  his is one of the few cases that I recall that the railroad won a Safety Appliance Act allegation.

The plaintiff later threatened to sue his own attorney as well as shoot him!

RAILROAD LEGENDS

Around the railroad there are many legendary characters and their wide spread reputations grow with each telling of the story.  Following are a few of the legends that I remember.

REGINA RED

Red was a flamboyant union representative in Indio California and was employed as a conductor.  One time he was out on a run and a labor strike was due to start. It was known that he wanted to get back to Indio and organize  his union for the strike.  The superintendent learned that he was out on a run and he instructed the dispatcher to place his train unto a siding track in the desert known as Regina and to leave it there until further notice.  This was done and Red did not find his way back to Indio until two days after the strike had started.  He was very upset about this and did not hesitate to let it be known.  Following this, he picked up the name of Regina Red, which stuck with him throughout the rest of his railroad career.  Thus, once something like this occurs on the railroad the new name becomes a legend.  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts.

On Friday, October 11, 2013 6:46 AM, Barack Obama is blaming Fox News for 2/3 of the country disliking Obamacare.  Here's Neal Cavuto's explanation and it is great.  If you don't understand what is bad about ObamaCare please read his comments and you will understand.

Mr. President, Fox News isn't what's making Americans sick about your healthcare law. Your healthcare law is. Welcome, everybody, I'm Neil Cavuto.  And excuse this departure from form.  But I think this is just poor form.  So, it's time we set some things straight.

Mr. President, we at Fox News are not the problem. I hate to break it to you, sir.  You are.  Your words are.  Your promises are.  We didn't sell this healthcare law.  Sir, you did. Remember this?

President Barack Obama: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.  Period.

Mr. President, tell that to tens of thousands of retirees at IBM and Time Warner and dozens of others, who've been dumped from their coverage and told to find their own coverage.  Fox News didn't break that news to them, Mr. President. Their companies did.

Fox News didn't push more of those firms to hire part-time workers. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't incentivize fast food restaurants to scale back their benefits.  Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make doctors want to opt out. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make insurance premiums sky rocket. Your healthcare law did. Just like Fox News didn't grant hundreds of exemptions to companies that needed them. You did. And Fox News didn't delay one key provision after another, including online enrollment for those small business exchanges. You did.

Just like it wasn't Fox News that said we had to pass this to see what was in this. You did. Or was that Nancy Pelosi?  Sometimes I'm confused. But of this I am not.  Fox News didn't re-do basic math.  Sir, you did.  Fox News didn't say you can cover 30 million more Americans and not see a hit in premiums.  You did.  Fox News didn't say you could throw in those with pre-existing conditions and not have to pay for it.  You did.  Fox News didn't all but say you could get something for nothing. You did.  Fox News didn't come back years later and say, oh yea, we did raise some taxes.  You did.

Here's where you are right about Fox News, however, Mr. President. We can do math.  And did. You cannot.  And did not.  We said it, and proved it.  You didn't.  And we're all suffering for it.  Take it from the numbers guy at Fox.  Numbers don't lie.  The number of Americans working part-time are nervous.  The number of retirees days away from being dumped on exchanges are anxious. The number of company bosses with any news to pass along on those exchanges, but still clueless. The number of doctors who want out.  The number of congressmen now opting out.  No, Mr. President, none of those numbers lie.

But with all due respect sir, I can only conclude you do know; I know, I know you hate us at Fox.  But please take a look in a mirror, and fast.  You think we're the skunk at your picnic.  But that doesn't mean we're the ones that stink.  Because that smell isn't coming from the folks reporting on your law.  Mr. President, that smell is your law.

Stormin Norman very timely for the aforementioned article below.   And thought provoking indeed.  Good for Neal Cavuto.  And thank you. little guy ™ 11/9/2013

THE SAIL OF FREEDOM HAS WIND BLOWING AGAINST BOTH SIDES AND THE MAST IS BENDING Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Do you trust what you hear on the TV anymore?  When a Democrat Politician makes a promise do you really think it will be kept?  Do you really?  So many promises have been broken that one wonders if the nation will ever again be healthy enough for a large majority to agree on our government policies.   There is something fundamentally wrong with today's leadership because nothing rings true anymore. 

If things rang true we would have a majority agreement of the direction our nation is taking.  Today, Israel's Prime Minister warned of a horrible Obama deal with Iran, and yet winds blow against the sails on our ship from both sides, and all nations other then our own get stronger day by day.  It is as if that which is best for our nation eludes the wisdom of our leadership.  For example the idea of Obamacare seems at least plausible, but what was written in the bill called the affordable care act is anything but realistic, plausible, nor fair.  It is a shift of medical control away from the doctors or the insurance company review doctors, to the Government where the doctors play a very subservient role.  It is as if everything is to build a bigger government monster rather then to build something which folks will enjoy and cut their costs.  Thus the wind is blowing both directions against the sails for the ship America, and thus the captain is not at the helm or so it seems.

Yes Health Care did have rising costs tied to inflation.  But under Obamacare costs for insurance for care is rising exponentially higher then inflation, and for all intent and purposes pushing aside the physician patient relationship which is the corner stone of great care.  By the time one figures out if they should end their free market insurance and go to the exchanges, are kicked off a plan they loved because something in the Obamacare bill say's said plan was bad, or simply can't afford the yearly insurance, far too much time, effort, motivation and human endurance are wasted before they even see a doctor.  The process is making folks ill and is enough to makes folks ill.  How can we trust anyone to make our lives simpler and better, when clearly the system is making things more complicated and difficult if not a horrible life experience.  They make a system but it makes life more difficult proving the wind is blowing at the sails from both directions.

When folks heard promises of insurance from the Government they thought it would be like Medicare, where somehow we paid in and received universal insurance if we were Americans.  But what we seem to be receiving has far more costs, less effect and almost stress filled government system where most folks are puzzled by the process and don't know what to do.  Worse then a lie, we seem to have lost our traditional world respected medical system for one folks fear and most folks don't know how to make work.

Do you trust what you hear on TV anymore?  Do you believe the promises either party makes as long as the words don't unite us?  From dealing harshly with Republicans to bending over backwards and to the future detriment of our nation and world stability, we seem to give up the farm to nations like Iran, Syria, Russia and frankly too many more, proving the winds are blowing at our sails from both directions.

Do you feel a shared brotherhood by your neighbors as we had in years past?  Or do you feel there is rhetoric for divide coming from our leadership and indeed the make up of the leadership of the current Democrat party.  Look folks unless the situation reverses which is unlikely and even troublesome if it occurred along the lines of today's go it party only progressive Dem's (Republicans become a large Majority), it only seems reasonable that we need the folks that lean toward the democrats to understand and share in the common cause which makes life easier for the masses, improves the economy through new large manufacturing and even Energy Independence now rather then left for some future unspecified time.  The winds of uncertainty blow in both directions against the Sails of Sail Ship America. 

Folks there is something fundamentally wrong with today's leadership because nothing rings true anymore.  All we ask for and that is most little folks, is some straight talk for a change where we the people can see the promised outcome come true, and feel life is easier as a result.  Let this editor know what you think, because I have a very open mind and am open to change.  But the change must make life easier for most folks, and not only big business, the rich, the Congress or other select groups.  The change must prove an easy course for Sail Ship America. little guy ™ 11/9/2013

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT SO TELL YOUR HONEY YOU LOVE HER Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Well folks its been a while since this editor advised Eve was born on a Friday evening, and that Jew's celebrate the bringing of the female spirit into this reality of ours each and every Friday evening.  Just a little reminder that as American's we all begin to share the good traditions of one an other.   Thus, tell your loved wife, your loved one, your mother (Eve is the Mother of all Mothers so to speak and as such...), your sister you love her, or perhaps give your special love a little kiss on the cheek.  And Married folks must make a renewed oath to try to have a little "whoopee" every Friday night, or try to make it special for the eve in all married women on all Friday nights; Special married folks who proved they can go the distance.  This editor renews this dedication forevermore.

In any event, make someone you know feel good this Friday evening, and please keep reading the Info-Justice Journal. G-d Bless.  little guy 11/08/13

MONTANA BEAR TRAGEDY

This is a very sad story about a bear. Everybody should heed the warnings
not to feed wildlife because they become dependent and don't forage for
themselves any longer. It is such a tragedy to see what has been done to our country's wildlife. The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning
to affect U.S. Wildlife.

Animals that formerly were self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging
to the Democrat Party. They have apparently learned to just sit and wait for
the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance. This
photo is of a black bear in Montana turned Democrat.  He's nicknamed
Bearack Obearma.  It is believed that he has become a campground organizer.

Have a great week folks.  little guy ™ 10/14/13

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-FOUR

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE INNOCENT DISPATCHER

On the railroad the dispatcher keeps track of all train movements and directs them so that there are no collisions between the trains and no confusion of movements (hopefully).  The dispatchers are similar to Air Traffic Controllers in that they have a large board with lights and upon which they observe train movements.  They are also in constant communication with the engineers by radio.  One night shift after the lunch hour a railroad supervisor returned to his office to find the train movements were all fouled up with many trains blocked and/or waiting in sidings, and no trains were moving.

This of course costs the railroad a lot of money when train movements are halted or slowed.  The supervisor became highly upset and ordered that the entire dispatching crew be taken to a medical facility for a urine test to determine if they were using drugs or alcohol.  The dispatching crew consisted of all men and one woman.  In addition, the woman was not involved with train foul-ups as she had been on her lunch break and advised her supervisor of this.  He paid no attention and ordered her to go for a urine test regardless.

When they arrived at the medical facility a male attendant had to observe each employee give a urine specimen, apparently so no switching of sample could be done.  The lady was ordered to urinate under his observation but she was unable to do so.  They they gave her some liquid; she tried again but failed.  She was finally allowed to go back to the job site with the others.  The following day she took off work and went for psychiatric care.

It was learned she previously had psychiatric care.  She continued on with several months of psychiatric care and the railroad received notice an attorney represented her.  Because of the activates of the supervisor, which were completely unwarranted, her case was settled for a premium.

RAILROAD LEGENDS

Around the railroad there are many legendary characters and their wide spread reputations grow with each telling of the story.  Following are a few of the legends that I remember.

CLAIMS TRAINING

All railroad claims agents are taught to conduct an investigation and put together a claim file when they are assigned to an injury case.  The file will usually contain photographs of various tools, equipment, accident scene, railroad crossing, and other important remnants or evidence.  The claim agent is also trained to attach the photographs to a back card and place an explanation of each photograph or set of photographs thereon.  One new claim agent was assigned a crossing accident in a rural area where a train had struck a vehicle.  While at the scene he also took photographs of a bull that had mounted a cow.  He entitled this "Two disinterested witnesses" and placed it with his other photographs.  From that time on he has been known as a claim department legend.

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons.  Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts.  You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Day the Union Case Blew Up" and one more case from the section called Railroad Legends known as the Legend of "Regina Red".  little guy ™ 11/04/2013

THE VERY NATURE OF OBAMACARE IS AN OXYMORON AND HYPOCRISYSome say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin "And remember you can't blame Barack because nobody read the bill before they were coerced to vote for it; idiots it would seem"...And now personal health insurance with $2,000 to 10,000 deductibles for things which occur yearly for parents and teachers of children or even injuries, will act as an additional drain on the house hold incomes especially for those trying to build a new family or who are on a fixed incomes suffering due to their illness, in the year of our lord 2013, this third day of November - lg.

Most healthy folks especially with families during the course of a school year may come down with ear, throat, nose, nail and commonly lung infections which of course spread through the schools and eventually come home so all may share the experience.  Folks may injure themselves in accidents leading to the point that you have no insurance for these as they are used to wipe out your deductable.  Now if you have a catastrophic incident you would have that coverage, minus the ten grand and other costs not covered by limited plan devices like Obamacare.

You have no insurance essentially.  But you must buy it.  If you have a great Etna plan with a $100 deductable, bye bye.  You see the best insurance has the lowest deductable or absence of coverage phase.  Obamacare by its very design is almost a Schell game for income with built in "no insurance" periods to help fund this burdensome monstrosity.  And you just can't blame Barack.  No one thought Obamacare through from the start to finish, which is why it is plagued with so many disasters.  It is a develop the plan for a situation when it arises rather then having been a blue print for success such as the original free market American system, now almost destroyed by the weight of Obamacare.

Well, perhaps all the little folks will get the same break as the super rich businesses received from Barack as a special action for it is entirely unfair to burden the people when it is the people who are alleged to be served.  Not a bill so the Congress can bypass it.  Not a bill so the superrich, Big Business, friends and contributors can bypass it, but the folks must then bear the heavy burdon on their backs, of paying for those that can most afford their highfalutin way of life.  Everything is upside down and inside out, and yes Barack is proving his record crazed spending spree having us in Debt over 17 Trillion dollars is his greatest economic hypocrisy, as he called poor innocent Bush unpatriotic for allowing the self defense of our nation costs to bring us to 9 Trillion.  17 Trillion under Barack thus far, 10.5 under Bush where his economy boomed for six years out of his presidency, but the fancy free bankers with ties to our elected folks in power, buried the world with socialist leaning types of loan instruments where the home buyer had no hope of paying off the size of the loan. 

Recently a colleague pointed out a new benefit of Obamacare for Chiropractors are new broader billing codes for advising folks on Obesity and other conditions which affect the health of a patients neuromusculoskeletal systems or more broadly affecting their ability to ambulate with efficient gait or carrying loads especially while stooping, bending, pushing, pulling, climbing, crawling or lifting for example.  Some may simply bend over to pick up a pencil and need care.  Even with new improved billing codes for Chiropractors, unless that patient is a chronically ill person whose deducible is wiped out, the Obamacare system could cut severely into the costs of the house hold especially considering the almost going no where economy we are experiencing.  In any event concomitant with a new cost for insurance and in most cases new deductable costs which folks have never had to face in the history of this nation with a milquetoast economy designed to be inoffensive to the Russians, the Iranians, the Arab Oil Producing nations, or Venezuela, when clearly only the best interests of our nation should have been the design.  For example this editor submitted my Energy Independence in 5 years plan, and here we are almost 5 years later, not the leading oil producer in the world experiencing a financial boom for all Americans but still the largest oil consuming nation in the world floundering in a weak economy with poor government control designs.  Thus our oil or energy plan is similar to our overall economic plan which is similar to Obamacare, and similar to the Obamacare Website.  Poorly thought out attempts to create an old monarchy European type Socialist experiment, at a cost of the most basic and fundamental freedoms we had.  The freedom to be healthy.  But with a $10,000 deductable or ever greater, there is no insurance for the people until their coffers have been drained having to pay cash for care and all for the good of whom?  And remember you can't blame Barack because nobody read the bill before they were coerced to vote on it; idiots it would seem.

Promises alleged to be for the people, of the people and by the people turned to be F grade level projects in all aspects alleged to be equal to the insurance or the doctors folks had AT THE TIME OF THE PROMISE OR REQUEST FOR SUPPORT.  Yet what we received, was a no insurance period of illness device creating cash medical practices where Hospitals and the larger facilities will be inundated with even greater losses then anticipated.  Even ER costs may not be paid as a patient in an emergency may end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars of insured costs and co-pay and find they may not be able to afford the first ten thousand, nor the costs associated with not working do to such a catastrophic stroke, heart attack, fall off a horse, car accident and so forth where again, that first Ten Thousand would have come in mighty handy.

Look it will be the same people recycling through the insurance system while the healthy folks, who get the strep throats, the injuries, or routine healthy folks getting the yearly flue will not enjoy coverage and are expected to pay for the entire program; inconsistent.  Why?  Where is the incentive or constitutionally guaranteed freedom of choice?  There gone folks the way of the dodo bird.  This is a forced absence of coverage!  The absence of coverage period or high deductive will fail to attract the healthy young.  And if it did it will fail to offer them the type of insurance coverage all generations experienced before them.  All we had to do was write two bills stating Insurers had to cover pre-existing injuries, and not stop coverage for those with birth defects and so forth and our system would have been fixed with the now famous 100 deductible Etna policy as a common standard rather then a wonderful benefit of insurance coverage's pre-2014, available again with $100 deductable/absence of coverage period, arguably high due to free market competition!  Again free market competition is gone the way of the Dodo Bird thanks to Obamacare or the unaffordable absence of coverage high deductable antihealth care act.

In any event let us hope on this Sunday the 3rd of November that we the people will also be granted the same luxuries Big Business and the Superrich have received in the way of a waver from Obamacare and at the very least 1 year, which I believe is similar to those granted Big Business.  Let the people go Barack, Harry Reid and other progressive power brokers, at least until the time the common sense problems illustrated can be resolved to something at least relatively close to that which was promised, and indeed be Insurance, where folks who fall pray to pneumonia, or develop bronchitis or perhaps a strep throat and it being the first problem of the year, have some coverage.  Heck waiting to reach $5,000 to $10,000 in most cases unless you are rich, is not insurance for we the people.  It is the development of a pay your own care system where you are taxed and thus must have said system, even though it fails on the most basic of promises or pails in comparison to the Health Coverage Plans available just last year from the free MARKET American Health Insurance Industry, SLOWLY BEING DRAINED OFF TO CREATE THE MONSTER CALLED OBAMACARE. 

Well, the good news is that I will have more billing codes, but the bad news is that the folks will be forced to look to their own pocket books for much of the year.  Heck folks think a $500 deductable for auto insurance is bad.  And now for personal health insurance for things which occur yearly for parents and teachers of children or even injuries, will act as an additional drain on the house hold incomes especially for those trying to build a new family or who are on a fixed incomes suffering due to their illness, in the year of our lord 2013, this third day of November. the little guy ™ 11/3/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The following article has upset a lot of folks.  Now you know why they have separate names....who are we talking about?

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices.  The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.

A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum.
Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).   Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (est at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions.

His company is the sole real estate on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale.  All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars. The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties.

Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?  Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it!  Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!

No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets.  How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal?  Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight?

And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service employees use different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.

Hello Stormin Norman,

This is all so surreal.  Good judgment, fairness and good governance was once an expectation for the citizen relative to our elected officials and their personal family members.  I don't know from Feinstein because I had been happy back east and simply came back to earn enough money as a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic so I can take my medical boards.  And here I remain because of all the broken promises by the parties in power.  Did you know that unemployment is 17% in this part of California?  Clearly the elected Progressive Democrat elites get richer while normal folks get poorer.  Everything is difficult save when you walk with the lord, life in perspective is unsinkable, and "a live". 

So we go on happy but to observe what's going on lately with the Democrat party, is very disappointing for all of us humble little folks, happy to meet new folks and make new friends along the journey of life.  Broken promises are the hallmark of many elected Progressive Democrat Party officials.  Add that to articles like the one you found and was able to verify by Snopes most every bad thing done by the government goes unnoticed until it appears in the paper.  Our Government governs as a reflex to the daily news rather then acting responsible as the news makers.  We live in crazy times. 

Thanks for the article. little guy ™ 10/20/13

MOE BERG INTERESTING PERSON IN TIME       

Moe Berg, A second-rate baseball player but a first-rate spy.  His contributions follow:

When baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig went on tour in baseball-crazy Japan in 1934, some fans wondered why a third-string catcher named Moe Berg was included.

The answer was simple: Berg was a US spy.  Speaking 15 languages—including Japanese—Moe Berg had two loves: baseball and spying.

In Tokyo, garbed in a kimono, Berg took flowers to the daughter of an American diplomat being treated in St. Luke’s Hospital--the tallest building in the Japanese capital. He never delivered the flowers. The ball-player ascended to the hospital roof and filmed key features: the harbor, military installations, railway yards, etc.

Eight years later, General Jimmy Doolittle studied Berg’s films in planning his spectacular raid on Tokyo.

 Berg’s father, Bernard Berg, a pharmacist in Newark, New Jersey, taught his son Hebrew and Yiddish.  Moe, against his wishes, began playing baseball on the street aged four.  His father disapproved and never once watched his son play.  In Barringer High School, Moe learned Latin, Greek and French.  He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton—having added Spanish, Italian, German and Sanskrit to his linguistic quiver.  During further studies at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and Columbia Law School he picked up Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Arabic, Portuguese and Hungarian—15 languages in all, plus some regional dialects. While playing baseball for Princeton University, Moe Berg would describe plays in Latin or Sanskrit.

During World War II, he was parachuted into Yugoslavia to assess the value to the war effort of the two groups of partisans there.  He reported back that Marshall Tito’s forces were widely supported by the people and Winston Churchill ordered all-out support for the Yugoslav underground fighter, rather than Mihajlovic’s Serbians. The parachute jump at age 41 undoubtedly was a challenge.  But there was more to come in that same year.

Berg penetrated German-held Norway, met with members of the underground and located a secret heavy water plant—part of the Nazis’ effort to build an atomic bomb. His information guided the Royal Air Force in a bombing raid to destroy the plant.

 There still remained the question of how far had the Nazis progressed in the race to build the first Atomic bomb.  If the Nazis were successful, they would win the war.  Berg (under the code name “Remus”) was sent to Switzerland to hear leading German physicist Werner Heisenberg, a Nobel Laureate, lecture and determine if the Nazis were close to building an A-bomb.  Moe managed to slip past the SS guards at the auditorium, posing as a Swiss graduate student. The spy carried in his pocket a pistol and a cyanide pill.  If the German indicated the Nazis were close to building a weapon, Berg was to shoot him—and then swallow the cyanide pill.  Moe, sitting in the front row, determined that the Germans were nowhere near their goal, so he complimented Heisenberg on his speech and walked him back to his hotel.

Moe Berg’s report was distributed to Britain’s Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and key figures in the team developing the Atomic Bomb.  Roosevelt responded: “Give my regards to the catcher.”

Most of Germany ’s leading physicists had been Jewish and had fled the Nazis mainly to Britain and the United States.  After the war, Moe Berg was awarded the Medal of Merit— America’s highest honor for a civilian in wartime.  But Berg refused to accept, as he couldn’t tell people about his exploits.  After his death, his sister accepted the Medal and it hangs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, New York. 

Thank God for the early "patriots and heroes of human creativity, science and health care", and all those that in some way progressed science, the learning of others, improved our health, welfare and our entire way of life.  One of our great "patriots for America, and the American spirit" Moe Berg, an Academy Person of Interest in Time. the little guy ™ 10/24/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM VALERIO

ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS WOW - A RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE - Genesis 47:13-27 follows.  HOW VERY TRUE!!!

I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia three cheers. This guy is obviously a leader. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is... It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.

Good morning, brothers and sisters; it's always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God's Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th chapter of Genesis. We'll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? ... (Reading) ... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year. But the famine wasn't over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. "There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh." So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh's government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery?  Yes... That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?

Yes.  But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters!  "Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly."  God provided for His people, just as He always has!  They didn't end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions!  But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.

We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to "share the wealth" once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind.  And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama's government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh's government did then, and it will end the same.  And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a "Messiah," don't they?  Is he a Messiah?  A savior?  Didn't the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, "You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh"?  Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH!  No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh.  Bow with me in prayer, if you will...

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be.  We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says "And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..."

And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh's government.  In God We Trust...

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-THREE

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE TELEVISION ACTOR WHO GOT CAUGHT

This case involves a 24 year old switchman who alleged a back injury while trying to tie down a faulty hand brake on a railroad car.  He remained off work for a long period of time and brought a lawsuit for his injury.  While at home watching the Daniel Boone TV show I observed an actor who looked suspiciously like the injured switchmen. In this show he played the part of an African slave who was involved in a vigorous wrestling match with another African Slave. Both of these men played their own roles in the scene and did not use any stunt men or doubles.

At the end of the show I closely watched the credits and the switchman's name appeared as the actor.  I advised our attorney who subpoenaed a tape of the show and observed all written information on it.

I was pleased to learn that the show had been taped shortly after the injury and at the initial part of the switchman's disability.  Upon advising his attorney of these facts, the case was settled very cheaply. 

FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS

THE MISSING STIRRUP

A stirrup is the bottom rung of a ladder on a railcar and is required by law to be present on every ladder on the car.  A 32 year old brakeman working in the Long Beach yard at night attempted to board a moving boxcar on which the stirrup was missing.  He did not see it b ecause it was dark and he grabbed a hold of the ladder.  When he attempted to place his foot in the missing stirrup, he lost his balance and part of tis grip and wound up hanging by one arm from the ladder being dragged along with the car's movement.  if he were to let go he could have gone under the wheels of the car and lost one or more limbs or been killed.  He was finally able to pull himself up on the ladder and rode the car to a stop.

After he reported the injury the superintendent wanted to hold a formal investigation.  When I learned of this, I strongly recommended that he not hold an investigation as it would be counterproductive to all of our purposes, particularly since the missing stirrup constituted a Safety Appliance Act violation thereby placing the railroad in a position of 100% negligence, regardless of the employee's actions.  The superintendent responded that he had to teach these people a lesson and since the rule required the brake-man to look before getting on the ladder, which he did not, he was responsible for his own accident.  I tried very hard to argue the superintendent out of this but was unsuccessful.

In the meantime, the injured employee underwent a shoulder surgery and when he heard of the up coming formal investigation, retained an attorney.

The superintendent sent a trainmaster to the brakeman's apartment to give him written notification of the formal investigation.  At the apartment the trainmaster observed a switch stand in the living room.  He then returned and advised the superintendent of this.  The superintendent commented that stealing a switch stand constituted theft and they would add that charge to the formal investigation.  This was done and the brakeman was served with a new notice adding the theft charge.  The brakeman selected the union agent to represent him and placed an unknown name, along with other railroad employees on his witness list.

on the day of the investigation the person with the unknown name appeared and testified that he was the room mate of the brakeman and had purchased the switch stand at a swap meet.  AS proof of this he produced a receipt, which was attached as an exhibit.  Because of this the superintendent was forced to exonerate the brakeman of all charges.

This is not the end of the story.  The attorney filled a lawsuit and the case proceeded toward trial.  The defense is allowed to have one medical examination on their behalf during the litigation period and the defense attorney served notice for the brakeman to appear and be examined by an orthopedic physician who was gay.  We did not know of his sexual tendencies nor that he examined people in hotel rooms.  The plaintiff appeared for the examination in a hotel room and after the initial part was asked to take off his pants and underwear.

At this point he became upset and walked out of the examination and called his attorney.  His attorney called me and asked me what was going on and I told him I was as amazed as he was but I would get to the bottom of it.  I knew the orthopedic surgeon as we had used him on a previous case in which we got a good result in front of the jury.

I called him and asked what in the world is going on it the examination on this particular case.  He explained that he wanted to check the man's gait.  I then told him, "Doctor you were hired to examine his shoulder not his weenie.  I have convinced his attorney to allow you to complete the reexamination but the plaintiff will not, and I repeat not, disrobe."  The doctor then agreed and the examination was completed.

Without further comment, this was the last time we ever used this doctor as I also found out he was gay and made approaches to other injured me.  The case was settled with the attorney and we paid a premium.    Stormin Norman Udewitz  
 

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Innocent Dispatcher" and one more case from the section called Railroad Legends called "Claims Training".  little guy ™ 10/22/2013

EDITOR'S NOTE:

This editor must take a sabbatical which consists of simply getting used to working full time and more considering I spend a lot of time OUTSIDE OF THE OFFICE meeting new folks who may need my care. 

Unlike the past few jobs, this editor did not have to follow some eccentric to be the kindest, professions around and asked to copy them word for word even if I thought they were hopelessly lost in a make believe world!  My new job says "here is an office, either build a great practice or that absence will constitute failure".  I offer the most modern and cutting edge procedures and therapies including modern articular joint manipulations called adjustments by Hippocrates himself, used (Will not stray to political bull) in the Wolf Study validating Chiropractic Manipulation over more mainstream care relative to folks sustaining injuries to the lower back.  This benefit was concomitant with the patient returning to work-in half the time for half the price.  Thus it is the mills themselves which perpetuate the waste and abuse which plagues our Golden State System, and not Chiropractic Care. Compassionate professional methods referred to by the CDC relative to spinal manipulative medicine utility in back care patients.  And the prices charged are ethical and thus a deal.  Why for the cost I charge for Spinal Decompression, you could save 50% off the top in addition to renting a cute desert motel room, take a lemo to my offices and have a vacation while becoming rehabilitated relative to the charges found for less quality care with the same modalities in the metropolitan cites in the states these days.

Thus, as I adapt to the new demands on my time, and develop my vision for ever evolving improvements in diagnosis and care relative to what I can offer based upon my education in the health care sciences Post my BA in Psychology or my BS in Biology-(Professional Nutritional School Graduate, Chiropractic School Graduate and three additional years for Graduate of the Orthopedic Chiropractic Specialty with National Board Certification -Orthopedist, Oriental Medical School Graduate, Graduate with a Masters in Human Biomechanical Trauma and Medical School Graduate, and all the 35 years of certification training etc...) it will again become easy to fit my editorials here at the Journal into my achievable time continuum and that will make a good thing.  A good habit and hopefully years of good reads for all.

Thank you for your patience (Two new submissions by members coming next week). little guy ™ 10/20/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A Dying Senior Citizen Tells It Like It Is... from Stormin Norman Udewitz

This is well written!  It will be well worth the two minutes it requires to read this.  It is quite impressive.  You can be Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, Independent or Libertarian and I bet this will hit a nerve.

Our country is in real trouble.  This gentleman is obviously quite smarter than the two senators he sent it to.  All I can say is amen to everything he said.  A very articulate letter sent to the two U.S. Senators from Washington State.
___________________________________
April 3, 2013
Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Washington, DC , 20510

Dear Senator:

I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt important - honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.

Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my country and my government. I shall only point out a very few things abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold. I have calculated that all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the Senate barbershop open for one year! Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers. So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us.

Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had 8 vacations so far this year!  And our House of Representatives and Senate have become America 's answer to the Saudi royal family. You have become the "perfumed princes and princesses" of our country.

In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act, a.k.a. "Obama Care," a bill which no more than a handful of senators or representatives read more than several paragraphs, crammed it down our throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves from it, substituting your own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance.

You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the "one percenters," consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making 3.5 times the average U.S. individual income, and give up nothing while you (as well as the president and veep) ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for which, of course, you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway).

You understand very well the only two rules you need to know - (1) How to get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of an eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain economy of truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed and under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom do vote) who are looking for a handout rather than a job. Your so-called "safety net" has become a hammock for the lazy. And, what is it now, about 49 or 50 million on food stamps - pretty much all Democratic voters - and the program is absolutely rife with fraud with absolutely no congressional oversight?

I would offer that you are not entirely to blame. What changed you is the seductive environment of power in which you have immersed yourselves. It is the nature of both houses of Congress which requires you to subordinate your virtue in order to get anything done until you have achieved a leadership role. To paraphrase President Reagan, it appears that the second oldest profession (politics), bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the oldest.

As the hirsute first Baron John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton (1834 - 1902), English historian and moralist, so aptly and accurately stated, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." I'm only guessing that this applies to the female sex as well. Tell me, is there a more corrupt entity in this country than Congress?

While we middle class people continue to struggle, our government becomes less and less transparent, more and more bureaucratic, and ever so much more dictatorial, using Czars and Secretaries to tell us (just to mention a very few) what kind of light bulbs we must purchase, how much soda or hamburgers we can eat, what cars we can drive, gasoline to use and what health care we must buy. Countless thousands of pages of regulations strangle our businesses costing the consumer more and more every day.

As I face my final year, or so, with cancer, my president and my government tell me "You'll just have to take a pill," while you, Senator, your colleagues, the president, and other exulted government officials and their families will get the best possible health care on our tax dollars until you are called home by your Creator, while also enjoying a retirement beyond my wildest dreams, which of course, you voted for yourselves and we pay for.

The chances of you reading this letter are practically zero as your staff will not pass it on, but with a little luck, a form letter response might be generated by them with an auto signature applied, hoping we will believe that you, our senator or representative, has heard us and actually cares. This letter will, however, go online where many others will have the chance to read one person's opinion, rightly or wrongly, about this government, its administration and its senators and representatives.

I only hope that occasionally you might quietly thank the taxpayer for all the generous entitlements which you have voted yourselves, for which, by law, we must pay, unless, of course, it just goes on the $17 trillion national debt for which your children and ours, and your grandchildren and ours, ad infinitum, must eventually try to pick up the tab.

My final thoughts are that it must take a person who has either lost his or her soul, or conscience, or both, to seek re-election and continue to destroy this country I deeply love and put it so far in debt that we will never pay it off, while your lot improves by the minute, because of your power. For you, Senator, will never stand up to the rascals in your House who constantly deceive the American people. And that, my dear Senator, is how power has corrupted you and the entire Congress. The only answer to clean up this cesspool is term limits. This, of course, will kill the goose that lays your golden eggs. And woe be to him (or her) who would dare to bring it up.

Sincerely,
Bill Schoonover
3096 Angela Lane
Oak Harbor, WA 98277

Dear Norm,

Thank you for your wonderful contribution as it sums up what many folks I have met lately are telling me.  Also a special thank you to Bill Schoonover for his excellent analysis. 

Let us all enjoy this Sunday for the thought provoking day it inherently is.  Thank you again Norm for your wonderful letter from Bill, and let us hope that more folks can emulate Bill Schoonover and write their letters to the powers of the land without fear of retribution, and may the lord continue to bless America.  Happy Sunday folks. little guy ™ 10/13/13

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE GAY ASSISTANT FOREMAN

The railroad has a B&B department, which stands for Bridge and Building.  This department is charged with maintenance and construction of railroad trestles and small shanties and storage buildings.  An assistant foreman had climbed up a ladder to do work in a shed and he fell from the ladder injuring his neck.

He retained an attorney and brought a lawsuit.  After a long period of time he finally returned to work claiming he had to wear a cervical collar while working on the job with the restriction of light duty.

On a Friday he accompanied the foreman in a large gang truck and they took the gang to a work site on the railroad.  Around lunchtime the assistant foreman, wearing his cervical collar, got into the truck with the foremen and drove away from the site.  They were to return by 3:00 P.M. to pick up the gang and return to headquarters so they could start their weekend off.  They did not show up and the gang had to call in for another truck to take them into headquarters.

It had been learned the following Monday that the original truck had been observed parked under a railroad trestle by a police officer.  When he walked over to the truck, he observed the assistant foreman performing an act of oral copulation upon the foreman and arrested both of them and took them to jail where they spent most of the weekend.  I did not learn whether the assistant foreman was still wearing the cervical collar while performing the sex act.  However, when I notified the attorney of the facts the case settled very cheaply.

In addition, the railroad held a formal investigation on both employees.  They both testified that they had simply gone to the trestle to observe the work that would be necessary for an upcoming job, when they were unexpectedly arrested.  When asked why they were observing a Santa Fe Railroad trestle rather than a Southern Pacific trestle they stammered and had no answer.  They were both dismissed from service.  

FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS

The railroad has entered into written agreements with all of the unions as to discipline of any employee who is a union member.  It is agreed that with all unions there will be a formal investigation before any discipline or dismissal can occur.  The accused employee is allowed to select his representative (usually a union agent) to represent him and is allowed to call any witnesses or enter any documents that he may desire.  A transcript is made of the proceeding, which is later reviewed by the superintendent who then decides upon the discipline if any.

Sometimes the operating departments on the railroad want to hold formal investigations that are controversial to claims handling when an injury is involved.  This is often counterproductive as when they notify the injured person of an investigation, he immediately retains an attorney.  There are several attorney firms that constantly handle railroad employee's injuries against the railroad and the unions often recommend them to their members.  Following are two humorous cases involving formal investigations.

BERTHA

A 33 year old carman was attempting to board a caboose when his foot slipped in oil on the ground and he wrenched his back.  Following this incident his supervisor received a medical report from a doctor who thought he might be able to work.  Another doctor had placed him on disability.

The supervisor and his assistant then got on two separate telephones, which were connected and called the carman's home.  The telephone was answered by his girl friend, Bertha, who advised that the carman had taken pain medication and was trying to sleep.  They told her that it was very important that they talk to him and she reluctantly got him to come to the phone.  They then told him that because of the doctor's report they expected him to return to work the next day and if he did not he could be faced with a disciplinary proceeding.  He told them he was in a lot of pain and did not think he could work.  They responded that he had better be there.  He then told them he would come to work and hung up the telephone.

What they did not realize was that Bertha still was on the other telephone.  They then started speaking with each other and commented that the carman would probably show up and work or an hour and then claim he was in pain and go home. They mentioned that if he did, they would cite him for an investigation and fire him.  Unknown to them Bertha overhead this conversation.

The next day the carman did show up for work and a shot time later claimed he was in pain and left the job.  They then cited him to appear at a formal investigation several weeks later.

He selected his union agent to represent him and included Bertha's name on his witness list.  They still did not get the message and went ahead with the investigation.  Bertha came in and testified as to the conversation about the two supervisors and their plans to fire her boyfriend.  This blew the investigation out of the water and the superintendent quickly told the two supervisors to drop all charges.

Meanwhile the carman had retained an attorney and I had to settle the case with him.    Stormin Norman Udewitz

NICEST GUY IN FOOTBALL'S SON FOUND UNRESPONSIVE - CONSISTENT WITH THE OBAMA YEARS AND ARTICLES BELOW

Adrian Petersons 2 year old son found unresponsive after beating by loony wife's insane boyfriend in retaliation for son's loving comments about great dad.  Folks, as more and more information comes in, if all that is being reported is true, its time to through away the book against these types of violent wrongdoers and bring back hard labor.  To hell with the progressives protecting criminals who rape or beat little children. 

The nicest guy in football needs our help.  As a nation, if we cannot protect our greatest sports good guys and offer them justice there is no protection for all us little folks, simply happy to receive our daily bread.  We need a President of the people, by the people and for the people which means he/she would unite us all within his first year of office; the true test of a truthful elected President.  Folks we have to pull together sooner rather then later.  Please join me for a rational and responsible public as it is time to consider impeaching anyone who interferers with justice akin to Benghazi (Hillary Clintons fault by all accounts) and those that in anyway were part of the ruling Progressives who caused heart break to the bereaved parents of murdered soldiers fighting for all of us and all that is good.  Join me won't you and together we can bring back the America we all know and love. little guy 10/11/13

CRIMES SEEM MORE OFTEN BECAUSE OF AN ABSENCE OF LEADERSHIP IN OUR NATION

Well, as our leadership, proud to say horrible far over the top things about each other continues, rather then discussing the issues, folks who watch this stuff on the boorish cable networks, copy them, and our nation degenerates.  Last evening on a once proud number one show, a consensus was developed that the founding fathers all the way to Obama spoke over the top about others unfairly.  Zero in the way of leadership, zero in the quest to rise above the animal level, and zero examples for our young to follow.

Many feel that poverty is a driver of crime.  This editor would opine the horrific examples by our leadership with poverty added on top demonstrates a lost US conscience.  It wasn't this way when I was growing up, nor were my parents unfair like today's best TV commentators save Lou Dobbs, who is becoming number one with the people relative to wise commentary, but again hidden away on Fox Business network were many folks simply don't have access.

Shame, shame, shame on our elected officials especially the progressive democrats who have set a standard for outrageous commentary on Republicans, but there were instances where Republicans have questioned the presidents birth place or religion, where his actions do seem antithetical to his claims, but have little in the way of impact on the day to day running of this country.

This editor calls out to all the folks that consider themselves good, to stand with me on ethical standards of rhetoric.  Folks its a sad day in the US, where the smallest of the small has to stand up and fight for the truth.

This ties in to what is going on politically.  There is no one looking out for the folks although they tell you their are.  Why under Barack's terms, families of soldiers killed on the battle field in Afghanistan no longer receive the normal and customary support and treatment they had under all other Presidents.  Everything is gamed today, and there is no one who will call it like it is.  The politicians blame each other, but so much is collapsing during our Presidents terms, that a fair ethical press would call it the way it has under all other presidents.  Benghazi, absence of a reason to enlist in our armed forces, forced taxation absent representation in medical insurance, and too much more concomitant with the horrible political speak about each other is forming a universal picture of life in the US today.

Join with me won't you, and lets fight for rational, responsible, transparent actions on the part of elected officials and the media for we can take our country back, if "all that are good" join together outside of the Democrat , Republican parties and the media, and demand ethics and propriety otherwise we as a group will never vote for their parties or turn on their programs again.  We can do this but we must work together.  Have a great day folks. little guy ™ 10/9/13

MONDAY FUNNIES TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK SENT IN BY VALERIO VIP

 The American Medical Association and its complementary supporters have weighed in on Obama's new health care package. 

The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. 

The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. 

Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.

Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness while the Radiologists could see right through it.

Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. 

The Chiropractors thought the Obamacare concept was a destructive manipulation of the best care in world history, the Naturopaths felt it was poison while the Acupuncturists thought it was pointless.

The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter". 

The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.

Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those lofty Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.

REALITY OF EXCELLENCE SCARIFIED FOR OBAMACARE - "Foreign nations from every pitch of the fabric of humanity fear evil more then they can expect a joint purpose with the US should they be attacked" - "Obamacare and its elimination of private care and forced membership is a hippocras to the once greatest health care system in mankind's experiential existence but also destroys freedom of medical choice".-lg

Before today's unrecognizable progressive Democrats absent any support from the right but with simply overwhelming votes before the American citizens were able to read what was in the Non-Affordable Health Care Act, our nation was on a pedestal of world respect for simply being who we we're as a people.   That great American citizenship, able to "PULL TOGETHER" to solve any crisis, fell to the Democrat "Lead" "hate-speak" against anyone who does not believe what they believe, forcing a resulting divide where many folks are severely questing the legitimism-Americana of the Progressive Democrat Party platform.  Thus, from progressive Democrat self serving needs, came Obamacare.  Again, pre-Obama care our recovery was on a slow tract, but clear business scuttlebutt as a result of Obamacare has placed a new governor of the engine of progress, and democracy.  Obamacare has caused this weeks furloughs, and all the government shutdowns now and in the immediate future.  Since Barack was shunned by the world, he is talking too tough and mean spirited when the peoples business is under debate.  The poor Republicans or any political party for that matter in our nations history, were never and should never have been vilified "if a debate point (Above all, national securities is the President, I must opine for most is the director of the good conscience and trust for the great American spirit to which we stand together, and support what is best at all times for the US because the President is the top dog trusted to do just that.   Get it?)  was reached and then sent to take the highway".  Sure where was this guy when it came time to talk tough to Putin, Al-Assad, Hassan Rouhani, Kim Jong-un, Mohamed Morsi to name some of the famous guys?  A double standard for hypocrisy. 

If this is true then "President Obama today accused Republicans of political extortion, saying they are trying to “blackmail a president” by threatening to shut down the government or refuse to raise the debt ceiling unless he agrees to gut his signature health care law...Others have actually threatened an economic shutdown by refusing to pay America’s bills if they can’t delay the law. That’s not going to happen as long as long as I’m president,” he said to cheers at Prince George’s Community College. “The Affordable Care Act is here to stay...

Since it is thus true, then the President who is holder of the national debt check book, is the cheerleader over these last thirty years Id say and its unbecoming, but it is then true debate and this issue is fair game; our President just said it.  Enough said?  Still don't follow me?  Sorry  - The president accused Republicans of “fearmongering” and mocked them for going to “crazy” extremes to try to block implementation. -Again fair game as until our government, the President, the Congress, the Supreme Court all realize where we are today is do to all of our elected offices as a end result!  That's what we have folks.  Too much sacrifice has been asked for something which could succeed if placed on a shelf among other programs whose real success could help to pay the entire subsidized Obamacare Model.  And for only those who want it for god's sake.  Today Obamacare has become just another hurdle in front of free peoples and the children of free peoples, trying to succeed and of course unencumbered by the land they love.  No emboldened to become creative, to then afford contribution.  A model was my Oil Independence in 5 years plan sent to the President, sent then through white house aids to the Energy Secretary you know the old story.  The end result sent to me by the Energy Secretary was they we're going to renew existing oil leases as an answer to our need for new jobs absent my plan which had multiplicative and exponential financial growth supporting communities usually called a new boon for that common wealth, that district, that state or the Republic, the other shelves CONTRIBUTING (Not controlling for) to the American Health Care System. 

Globally, folks came to the US for care.  Their systems failing but the American standard of Doctor patient relationship where all other concerns follows, provided the greatest health care in mankind's experiential existence.  Until Obamacare.  Let me repeat.  A Doctor patient relationship where the treating doctor made the decisions delivered the greatest health care in mankind's experiential existence and was heralded as such around the globe.  We are losing WISDOM.

From interference with student loans for medical students to reductions in residence starting pay, to a system not taught in medical schools of fearing any and all decisions will be reviewed even by the merit of ones AGE.  Obamacare mandates a review panel for breathing.  That's normal breathing because the progressives couldn't think of any other organ system to tax you on. - Its a joke folks.  But give them a little more time.  There so creative.   Follow me?   They are...

Today, because of the realization that a conscience decision was made from the White House and all progressive democrats that the doctor must be interfered with because they know better then a trained physician forcing of course a  litany of almost crazy obstacles and hurtles to efficient and effective immediate direct contact medicine and care, thus creating a TYPE OF MEDICINE DOCTORS WERE TRAINED TO BELIEVE WAS HYPOCRITICAL AND AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH. 

"To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art — if they desire to learn it — without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

 I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.
What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfill this path and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.[4].  Clearly contradictions with Obamacare.  That is if this discussion even gets off the ground for the lords sake!

IT WOULD BE ONE THING TO TRY TO CREATE A SYSTEM WITHIN A SYSTEM TO OFFER BUT NOT FORCE A GOVERNMENT HEALTH INSURANCE SYSTEM BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED FOR  FIRST AND FOREMOST PAVING A HIGHWAY FOR UNENCUMBERED PRIVATE DIRECT CONTACT PHYSICIAN MEDICAL CARE.  Obamacare and its elimination of private care and forced membership is a hippocras to the once greatest health care system in mankind's experiential existence but also destroys freedom of medical choice.

Folks this editor opines it does make sense to ask our government to step back and finally listen to what the people say they want for a health care system.  Look we heard from the folks that think they know better, and for what ever reason, enough of the American people told them to run with it all.  However today it has reversed with real pains already felt by too many folks, and Obamacare has caused a social situational stress upon the American people not seen since World War II.  Thus the people as a majority are against the implementation of Obamacare; a failed systems from European nations, where folks flew to the homeland for care to escape said systems!  WE STEPPED DOWN IN MEDICAL CARE FROM A PERCH/NEST WE CREATED.  A loss of MEDICAL wisdom.

In addition and Globally, folks respected us for our resolve against world terrorism and thus world crime as well.  No one dared mess with us.  With Obamacare no nation important for all the right reasons gives us any respect.  THIS WAS TRUE EVIDENCED BY THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT AND ALL THE REST AROUND THE GLOBE REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE OBAMA'S PLEAS.  I so testify under penalty of perjury I though with what he does to Republicans he could go on a world tour; champion the American interests and needs, and eliminate one of the pathways for some of the most heinous terrorist groups today save they are state sanctioned which makes the situation abominable!

Russia is on an intelligence agency creation unit within the US with their contributions to our opinion columns.  But the dunderheads in charge are busy recording every little detail of every aspect of you lives just in case they could become totally demented and create cases where there are none.  I must opine that this government doesn't get it, is always two days late and a dollar short when events occur which  developed the spin called leading from behind; fall behind and never able to catch up is the reality.  Great progressive spin.  INDEED.

We gave up a military position against terrorism in Iraq and so forth, which was respected for the reality of the situation and life began to calm down.  Suddenly, with no influence in the breading grounds of terrorism and despotism, morphed from a back woods bunch of nuts who happen to this time be Radical Muslim Extremists, to an almost viral spread to nations in almost every corner of the globe.  Foreign wannabe superpowers "see all this concomitant with receiving any concession from the US they want before they are even asked atmosphere.  Thus of course they view us as someone to ignore".   Consistent.

World position vs. Obamacare.  If the un-affordable care act was for the people and by the people, then when the people we're finally allowed to read what was in the bill and hate it, their trapped, in another out of control government grab for power by the executive and legal branches of government which is what Americans were against until around the time of the Obamacare bill, revealing the bill did NOT turn out to be of the people, by the people nor for the people. 

World Dominance due to excellence in every field of life and with the ability to prove to any enemy, murderous enemy actions would be dealt with as anticipated rather then over a Trillion dollars in military cuts only thus far, with realizations that after the words said by the Dems of these last few weeks, our nation has lost a status of humanitarian greatness second to none BY THE CRAZY DEBATE TACTICS WITNESSED/EMPLOYED, to one of executives who fiddle with the nation for some policy to be named after them over what is best for the American people, or for the majority of the American people.  Obamacare destroyed the legality and availability with private relationship medical care and its no ones business who paid for it.   MEDICAL FREEDOMS WERE LOST!  THIS IS TRUE AND THE HEART OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

Heck when folks can finally write about SUCH MATTERS its because issues are now reviewed, and folks are catching on.  Foreign nations from every pitch of the fabric of humanity fear evil more then they can expect a joint purpose with the US should they be attacked.  Its just that simple.  With Obamacare and the need to take Eight (8) Hundred and Fifty (50) Billion from Medicare, and over 1 Trillion from the Military, and way way more, we gave up greatness because a failed system was rushed into play, and actually signed by the dominant party, which did rob us of medical freedom-only you the people can place a value on that.  What did your Medical Freedom mean to you?  In the past, there was the public trust in a public conscience, but it didn't matter that just under 50% of the folks disagreed with them.  They would still vote for unity with of course compromise.  But it is take my way or take the highway by the progressives and that's truly too bad.  This is a true inconsistency of the daily life under this administration which is truly a national controlled blindness for events that occur which are negative; they occur because there were no prophylactic political or military internal controls in place, a recipe for disaster for those that lead, and one that has repeated.  Why is it so hard to believe or comprehend that there may be some who don't think such actions, that of being ignored by Russia, Iran, Syria, China, North Korea, Venezuela and on down the line, is healthy for this great republic and thus must stand up and champion RATIONAL AND RESPONSIBLE ACTIONS ON THE PART OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

It is now crystal clear that Obamacare has forced our nation to take self-mutilation to pay for it.  Heck it is now public AWARENESS FOLKS, that this current administration has spent more then all presidents in history combined.  Give me a breaknational debt .  Didn't Paul and John (The Beatles) write a "fool and his money".  Excuse me but I thought we elected a president to act rationally and responsibly with the family fiancés, so no funds are wasted on anyone but the family USA.  Thus the US checkbook has been open pickings for years now concomitant with a shrinking military, lost art of American Medical Practice standards for one of so many oversights comities and folks too far removed from the practicing physician or decision maker, that our medical prowess has been crushed.  A waste and abuse of the public purse, a loss in military ability (Could not even send one man to help folks lost to failed US policy in Benghazi), loss of medical prowess, dwindling jobs or life sustenance to the folks who relied on ethical and rational handling of national finances.  We should be at a balanced budget and out of the 17 trillion dollar debt.

We gave up the best lifestyles in the world for broken promises of Obamacare.  30 million more were to be paid for by forcing the young to buy Health Insurance almost 10 years earlier then past generations as a group.  A pyramid structure.  Today we know there are 30 million folks that will still be left out.  Ok 30 million more were to be included but it turns out 30 million will be excluded. 

On the world stage the reality was that all other Presidents could act like they were bitten with a radioactive spider and had the strength of spider man, where Barack Obama's presidency is one of "well, I'll take a look, I'll see what the commotion is about, and if its not too busy, I might take a stable at it, but if its complicated that makes life too busy, so I'll appoint committees and hire folks I like rather then the best of the best, and as our nation spends all its time on nonsense activity, nothing will get done, and all focus can return to the Obamacare obsession.  Basically not a president with "Spidey sense" or a "superman", but one whose rhetoric sores far far far above the reality of his actions and must fight the evil forces after just swallowing a large diet of kryptonite.  Militarily, end response analysis demonstrates we have gone from other Presidents demonstrating abilities like Harrison Ford in the movie "Air-Force One" to that of Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith show".

Folks used to know that if you sign for a product for your home before you know what it is, disaster would most assuredly be the outcome.  Yet with this type of nonsense successful with a large segment of the population demonstrates another reason foreign nations are ignoring us.  Heck they can look on the streets of Europe for that.  So it was our executive branch, our legal branch  and the democrat peoples fault for things and in fact it is all too nutty and laughable to believe.  The Progressive Democrats seem to be able to fight for the nuttiest issues.  No voter ID.  Just saying it makes one want to laugh.  By this point however, it should have been clear that what the foreigners see is what we as a nation MUST see when we look in the mirror so we could stand up straight, just like the Chiropractor tells us to, and correct our posture and from that stature again see over these types of bumps in the road of life and progress that we're always there but we previously understood them because of experience and reacted accordingly rather then embraced each one to become entangled in nonsense which is breaking the back of our debt.

Well, the powers that be offered systems for hire so poor in our nation, that this editor was forced to be away from "freedom of expression" which this editor has now proved for over 17 years here at the Journal, three and one half years as Editor for the American Academy for Biomechanical Trauma web site and of course with my published works dating back to 1980 in national journals read around the world.  Thirty-three years of freedom (33); unencumbered freedom of expression and suddenly the autocracy which had to be overcome for the internet provider to get their own equipment to work.  I could have never done all that with today's US life environment exampled by AT&T's absence of rational and responsible business practices.  But they are under Obamacare and with cutbacks and subcontractors, they are just symptomatic of a much worse corporate malignancy caused by Obamacare.   I must opine there is interference with interference simply trying to relocate, which did not exist prior to the Obamacare years.  And on this return, I felt I should summarize what seemed apparent these last few weeks while unable to simply be able to purchase signal for internet within the United States of America/ the great Golden State of California, for future historians to note.  Take heed, folks did warn of harmful changes occurring relative to "real life experience" as a direct result of the Obamacare years.  We went from supreme military mastery, first in the world in medical care and education, most financially and fiscally secure nations, to one in the neighborhood of 17 trillion dollars and climbing debt, a hog tied military, a wish for a very common form of health care delivery found in most nations outside of the US, government forever spending more then we take in or factually fiddling while our nations fiscal responsibility and lifestyle burns , and one where the party in power's answer to any debate on something their selling, is a retort with horrible evil vial untruths about the folks or their groups and associations who may disagree on one simple issue or another.  They cannot discuss the issues because they would lose. 

There you have it this 6th of October; in the year of our lord, 2013.   Let us all pray on this wonderful Sunday, that the lord continues to Bless and keep the United States of America.  little guy ™ 10/6/2013

EDITORS NOTE:

This editor apologizes for the closed eyed first thought unchecked article below, but we moved for the first "real opportunity" for COMPASSIONATE CARING CHIROPRACTIC ORTHOPEDIC AND BIOMECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS AND CARE and my lady friend selected ATT and after being stood up twice and when my new job started she was stood up four more times and making up false stories to manipulate their schedule became the etiology of the absence.  After having spoken to  several departments, I was able to speak with the fraud unit who opined their subcontractors are at fault and to complain again (Talk to the same folks again, come on) so they could investigate.  

Thus, what was scheduled as an overnight office move turned into a two week delay to simply receive the modem in the mail and then have the tech put in a phone line.  I wont make the mistake on betting ATT will act rationally and responsibly on the simplest of transactions should I move again.  Thus I apologize for the poorly edited article below.

SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BROKEN STICK IS THE LEGACY OF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

Barack Obama spoke before the "un"-United Nations today and it mattered not if he did a good job or not because only Americans cared.  By the time Barack "gets it" he and the democrat party will have left our military or in plain language our offensive and defensive prowess in a rut.  Down several trillion dollars from what he inherited proves to the world that Barack is someone who no-one needs to listen to.

Conversely, Putin's Russia is still killing folks and because of this, exactly like the old west, Criminals get away with murder.  And all the folks cow-tow to the bullies around the globe.  Sure some can state the UN is filled with cowards  but the UN folks think they are smart cowards, and don't want to get in the way of murderers. 

My, my, my, Barack and the blowhard democrats and they are blowhards because they ruined our nation and like cockroaches run and hide when the light of truth is put on them and then come out to debate when the subject is nebulous or dark.   Unless the next President is a conservative to balance the damage done by the progressives who live in a fantasy world, our nation will continue to spiral down the path of those that may cry for help, like the Pastor in the first War of the Worlds who runs out to save the aliens only to get himself disintegrated. 

Antithetically, today Ted Cruise stood higher then the lowly Democrats as he fought for truth within the nation, which is the breeding ground for the inexperienced progressive party who in toto wear rose colored glasses.  Health care today is far worse then it was just five years ago.  And its all do to the Progressives.  Rather then attacking the insurance industry and the medical industry, if they wanted to get involved they should have made a state run Pharmaceutical manufacturer to create new anti-biotics for the new resistant strains which Big Pharma ignores because of the lower profit profiles.  If drug prices came down to the levels in Europe for example, the costs of health care would come under control.

A couple of weeks ago while getting an oil change, I met a very intelligent Hispanic man who explained how he was in a union for his entire life, but recently fired them as he was told he could not keep his doctor (You don't tell a Hispanic American they can't keep the doctor they like), his insurance was going to go through the ceiling, and he opined he knew folks who will lose their jobs working within the system.  But by firing the union, he has enough money to keep his insurance no matter what happens, and told me behind the scenes the word is spreading throughout the Hispanic community on how to get around Obamacare which he likened to a mafia like doctrine which was antithetical to the America which drew him here as a young child who immigrated legally when his folks were killed in Mexico.

Bill by bill, Obama and progressive reasoning is coming under question, and folks who tell the truth and have no political party to fight for, see a overall weakening of our nation both domestically and internationally.  And with such weakness, if "Billary" is elected, we will continue down the drain of more of our foreign Ambassadors being killed, our Embassies around the globe attacked, and she will be a joke to folks like Putin no matter how much she can snow over the folks at home.

Frankly, we have little time to right the ship and build us a new and better stick for our next president to carry.  And it begins with folks like Ted Cruise and Rand Paul.  Let us hope the folks smarten up sooner rather then later, because as we slip in stature internationally, it also emboldens the terrorists who see us falling right into their hands.  It begins by eliminating nuclear bomb production in Iran.  Lets see if we move toward the right side of justice and truth or we continue down the road of the inexperienced and wrongheaded progressives taking over our nation. little guy ™ 9/24/13.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - NEW FOREVER STAMP FOR NOVEMBER 2013

 Please folks, don't buy this stamp!  It is pretty like the apple Eve ate before we were cast out of the Garden of Eden and will be available November 1, 2013 but keep reading!

Even though President Obama did not officially direct the United States Postal Service to remember and honor the EID Muslim holiday season with a new commemorative 46 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp as has been reported, his behavior has scarred folks from celebrating American founding ethics such as a commemorative on Jesus.  The new stamp is the second MUSLIM stamp, and celebrates a Muslim holiday!

If there is only ONE thing you Forward today, let it be this! REMEMBER to adamantly BOYCOTT this stamp when you purchase stamps anywhere. All you have to say is, "No thank you, I do not want a Muslim stamp on my letters!" Buy our US flag stamp instead, please!  This will tell the US Postal service to shape up or we the people will vote to create a private mail system if it is dedicated to American ideals. 

Our country brick by brick is slowly losing its base which keeps us safe.  The progressives have so poisoned our nation, it is clear we are losing our international stature as well as destroying the fabric which made this nation strong, and it is easy to envision, unless the US Post office and other agencies under Obama's watch and influence change for the better we will see an increase in homeland violence and anarchy akin to that found within the Middle East.

Please boycott the new November US Postal Service trapdoors stamp, and spread the word that Yankee Doodle is again on the march.

Dear V VIP,

Thank you for the heads up on anti-patriotic actions again occurring under Barack's watch from one of his massive government Bureaucracy's.  This editor and readers will not purchase said stamp in the hope that we can change the US Postal Service back to one which represents American ethics and values (Pre-Progressive influences). little guy ™ 9/21/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR -AN AMAZING STORY - "Sometimes, it's not really just luck."

Elmer Bendiner was a navigator in a B-17 during WW II. He tells this story of a World War II bombing run over Kassel, Germany, and the unexpected result of a direct hit on their gas tanks.

"Our B-17, the Tondelayo, was barraged by flak from Nazi antiaircraft guns.  That was not unusual, but on this particular occasion our gas tanks were hit. Later, as I reflected on the miracle of a 20 millimeter shell piercing the fuel tank without touching off an explosion, our pilot, Bohn Fawkes, told me it was not quite that simple. " On the morning following the raid, Bohn had gone down to ask our crew chief for that shell as a souvenir of unbelievable luck.  The crew chief told Bohn that not just one shell but 11 had been found in the gas tanks. 11 unexploded shells where only one was sufficient to blast us out of the sky.

It was as if the sea had been parted for us.  A near-miracle, I thought.  Even after 35 years, so awesome an event leaves me shaken, especially after I heard the rest of the story from Bohn.

"He was told that the shells had been sent to the armorers to be defused.  The armorers told him that Intelligence had picked them up.  They could not say why at the time, but Bohn eventually sought out the answer.  Apparently when the armorers opened each of those shells, they found no explosive charge.  They were as clean as a whistle and just as harmless.  Empty?

Not all of them!  One contained a carefully rolled piece of paper.  On it was a scrawl in Czech.  The Intelligence people scoured our base for a man who could read Czech.  Eventually they found one to decipher the note. It set us marveling.

Translated, the note read: "This is all we can do for you now . . . "  "Using slave labor is never a good idea."  Folks this proves another reason for buying a Skoda!

Dear GS,

Thank you for sending in this truly amazing story of courage and heroism. little guy ™ 9/19/13

REMOVING CHEMICAL WMD'S FROM THE AIR AND LETS BREATHE EASY AGAIN

What a world.  When I just wrote that I scanned on the Wicked Witch of the East from Wizard of Oz.  But its true.  This editor would hate to say it but relative to accomplishments, these last Obama/Reid years in reference to the time continuum where the absence of accomplishment is so pronounced in our Congress it's mind boggling.  Like a bunch of bums or something yet paid very very well.  Yes including Barack, our entire government can't truly think or truly be as smart as they convince us daily they are because our Federal Government goofed up Iraq.  It was as if folks knew what they were doing going in and then winning not only the Iraq War and then the Iraq Civil War, the rug was pulled out from under said foundation, and failure is the trophy Barack holds up for Iraq as if Barack et el never got what the Iraq War  was all about.  Then when the world witnessed America, yes the United States of America turn its back on its own Ambassador in Benghazi with a whirlwind world tour of a con game being sold as the "video" cause of the Benghazi tragedy, we began to look like a bunch of clowns.  And they expect "clown-ess" Hillary to be the next pawn to come along.  Thus our leaders are beginning to feel the pressure from an area of the Middle East in which they would be top authoritarian educator for nations to follow.  Yet now no nation followed or may follow unless things are turned around by some new blood.

But somehow, say what you want, willey Putin always in there working it and working it, night and day, his life is working out how to get back to being the number 2 Superpower in the world; with a warm water Syrian port.  He doesn't get it that today, it would be through real friendship where all sides based on deed would trust and share good economies. 

Our executive branch and congress has failed to create any new microcosm economies within the larger US economy as Reagan had and to some extent, Clinton and Bush had.  All we see is a "healing US" from the over expenditure for Barack's massive and unnecessary 6 trillion dollar high fashion spending spree and still counting, concomitant with nothing of any exception being accomplished by our Congress.  Like I just wrote, zero in the way of deeds accomplished by our government which targeted the lower class, the middle class, and yes an upper class.  Profits experienced are to some extent off of profits made by Foreign competitors doing business in the US.

Our nation has to wake up because it is the American people which are judged by world leaders when they meet our goofy, inexperienced, out of their league representatives.  And once they do meet our elected leaders they find folks that don't have a solid vision of where our Republics strengths are, which other leaders must rely on when raising their hands and being counted when the chips are down.  Our present US international psychology is poor, and lacks vision, strength, resolve and leadership.  It is as if the captain of our ship is drunk and happy, while the world goes round and when important matters come up rather then understanding anything they say, "Ill vote for that one" and go on spinning in circles in executive chairs as if they were "three sheets to the wind".

Little in the way of rebuilding our nations infrastructure occurred, including a pipe line which would pay for itself rather then having to put out money which was a jobs generator, and of course little was done to improve our dikes and levees, bridges, roads, plumbing, or electrical grids, military, no new airports to keep up with the rest of the world, simply almost a rapid fall down an elevator shaft only to try to rise up because of almost 120 years of focusing on improving business and our work folks life experiences.  Only our nations great cycles base on the true value of what we have keeps our nation bouncing back under today's mismanagement.  We still have not enacted my common sense Plan for Energy Independence, return of homeland manufacturing and increased jobs which then pays for better teacher pay and medical costs etc.

What a world.  It is as if we took our eye off the ball and the world is run like chemical wmd's, and it is clear how some would think they could get away with it and survive, and what we witness today on the world stage is really a sham, with heinous murdering dictators, making demands at the bargaining table for truth. 

Weellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, the point is we can all breath a little bit easier now that our leaders cried out DA for the world to hear, when Putin picked up this author/editor's idea of having Syria surrender her (ALL FOLKS) chemical weapons to the appropriate body.  And we can take solace that perhaps 50% of the folks have demonstrated they get it and there are good signs within the Republic.  But for folks with lung conditions please find my Beating COPD for your weekend pleasure.  And may the lord bless all that are good and continue to bless America .

BEATING CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE THROUGH MEDICAL INFORMATION MASTERY AND POEMs

 INTRO INTO COPD

Diagnosis:  

The fourth leading cause of death in the United States is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), affecting approximately 16 million Americans each year.  About 100,000 deaths per year are directly attributable to COPD, and it is a contributing factor to many more.  Almost 90 percent of COPD is associated with smoking tobacco affecting at least 15 percent of those. Obviously, because more men smoke tobacco then women, they are affected more often.  COPD occurs predominantly in individuals older than 40 years. 

COPD has been recently defined by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the World Health Organization due to increasing concern.  They formed the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).  In their 2001 report, Global strategy for the Diagnosis, Management and Prevention of COPD they define a new classification system for COPD that places less emphasis on the distinction between chronic bronchitis and emphysema than the previous statements.  The GOD report was also endorsed by the American Thoracic Society which defines COPD as “a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible.  The airflow limitation is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases.” little guy ™ 9/14/2013

JOHN STEWART BORING ON 9-11-2013

Last night I had the opportunity to enjoy some folks company and someone suggested putting on John Stewart.  For the first part of the show the room was silent.  No-one laughed.  Through his afro-shtick to showing a clip of three republicans which he edited akin to NBC's editing of that crazy guy Zimmerman's 911 statement and also interrupted their talking points to make his thus false jokes, and AGAIN no one laughed.  I almost laughed looking at everyone wondering when something funny was going to happen but held back as I didn't want to be the only one laughing.  Then they went to commercial and it was a Father explaining to his son how difficult his business life was and the little kid said to the father at the end, "Here dad, you need this more then I do" and pushed his Jell-O over to his dad when everyone started to laugh.  The commercials were funnier then the John Stewart show!

Earlier in the show they also had that English guy that took over his show for the summer and I reflected on his first show where he was super funny making actual humor out of President Obama's flub ups (Benghazi, IRS-Gate etc) and our chaotic Federal Government.  Then his next show he began to bash the Republicans with phony baloney edited stuff like Stewart does and he was not funny.  But I suddenly said to my friends, "I understand the English Guy and why he only joked about our president for one night.  Heck I wouldn't make jokes about the President, as I might wake up with an NSA microphone up my butt (and my friends laughed)".  I continued with, "I would never make jokes about the President because if al-Qaeda was attacking my home and I called 911, no one would show up to help...if the police swat team and ambulance were sent out they would be recalled ( and my friends laughed) "!  I went on with "Heck I would never tell a joke about the President because I can imagine the sound of those lovely missile equipped Drones flying over head (And before I could finish we all laughed)".  And my lady friend joined in.  That was great fun kidding around about our elected officials because it was simple fun based on reality.

Folks, there is obvious super goofy stuff going on in our nation where the humor is so obvious everyone would laugh.  Yet Stewart continues to cherry pick anti-Republican or anti-anything but progressive liberals stuff and less then half the folks will laugh.  Well that was my John Stewart experience for the evening of 9/11/2013, where he to did little to acknowledge it was the anniversary of the Benghazi 9-11 and the original 911.  He was booooooooooooooooooooring.  And folks, you just can't make this stuff up. little guy ™ 9/12/2013

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-ONE

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

MAD MARTHA

This lady was a railroad police officer who had been assigned to work the reception desk in the office building.  Part of this job include a patrol of the various floors and a fire watch.  She alleged that as she opened a safety door the metal weight gave way and the door slammed shut on her head.  Following this incident she claimed loss of memory, hallucinations and that she could only speak in baby talk.  She further claimed that she had seizures similar to epileptic attacks.

She retained an attorney and the case went to trial.  During the trial, she feel to the floor and appeared to be having a seizure.  Her attorney rushed over and shoved a wooden pencil in her mouth.  A few minutes later she recovered and took the witness stand.  She had been well coached in her case presentation and received verdict against the railroad.

During her entire disabilities and her trial Martha spoke by mumbling or using baby talk.  Her doctor confirmed that she could no longer speak using proper English due to her injuries.  After the trial, she opened a stand selling railroad memorabilia at a shopping mall.  One day one of the railroad policemen was walking through the mall and observed her at the stand.  He walked over and she started talking to him in perfectly normal English until she remembered who he was and she realized he knew about her claim.  She started out by saying, "Hello can I help you with anything?"  In the middle of the next sentence when she suddenly recalled who he was she said, "oh huwo" in baby talk, and then completed the conversation in baby talk.

THE LUBRICATED RAILROAD LAWYER

One of the attorneys who worked for the railroad had a brilliant mind but was an extremely heavy drinker, even to the point of being an alcoholic.  He would never prepare a case but would go into a courtroom and shoot from the hip in response to whatever the plaintiff attorney would throw at him.  Unfortunately I had to go through a lot of trying times with this individual but some of it was humorous.  None of it was boring, as I had to be continually on my toes.

The railroad General Attorney once mentioned to a group of railroad attorneys and claims people that he had an attorney in Los Angeles who could do better in a courtroom drunk than the rest of his attorney staff could do when they were sober.

Another time when he was quite frustrated with this attorney he asked me what he should do with him.  I told him he should let other attorneys in the office work the cases up for trial, take depositions and do discovery, and set this attorney up with an office in the bar across the street form the courthouse.  Then when trial started this attorney would simply have to get himself sober and cross the street to try the case.  Following are several cases, which involved the attorney.

This is the same drinking attorney previously mentioned in the Flying Dildo case.

THE MISSING ATTORNEY

The railroad owned a truck line that mostly moved and delivered new automobiles.  A truck driver stopped his load of automobiles on the street outside of the dealership and started unloading the automobiles by driving them down a ramp.  One of the automobiles came down the ramp and a lady driving another vehicle came around the corner and collided with it.  She claimed injury and later brought a lawsuit.

This case was set for trial and on the day trial started we got a call from the court advising that the railroad did not have an attorney present.  This was early in the morning and I tried calling the attorney at home and got no answer.  meanwhile, we had to send another attorney to court that was able to get a one-day delay for the start of the trial.  I called the General Attorney in San Francisco and advised him that his trial attorney did not show up.  He told me as soon as I was able to get in touch with this attorney I was to call him on a conference call.

About an hour later I was finally able to reach the attorney at his home.  I asked him why he did not appear in court that morning and he said it was because he was sick.  I then asked him why he did not advise the court of this or his supervising attorney and he said he had been under medication and had slept until that moment. It was obvious to me that he had been drinking.

I then told him that the General Attorney wanted to talk to both of us on a conference call and I set it up for my office.  After he told his story to the General Attorney, I told him that I could settle the case for $35,000 and he would not have to appear in court the next day.  He quickly said don't settle the case as he could try it and get a defense verdict.

The next morning he appeared in court and stared trial and remained sober throughout.  At the end of the trial the jury brought in a defense verdict.  As a tribute to his capabilities, he shot from the hip during the entire trial and had done no preparation whatsoever.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Gay Assistant Foreman" and one case from the section called Formal Investigations called "Bertha".  little guy ™ 9/11/2013

INCREDIBLY HORRIFIC EYE OPENING SHOTS OF MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE YOU WERE NOT PRIVY TO Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

 

To view 911 Military Aerial Surveillance Photos or more 911 Intelligence Agency Surveillance Photos you have never seen click on the blue links.

It must be made perfectly clear, these photos were taken by Military Intelligence and Intelligence Agency photographers and of course if your name were George W. Bush at the time, you to would have seen the graphic and horrific pictures of our brothers and sisters of realty, leaping out of the windows to their deaths.  And of course carrying all of the weight of the World on his shoulders and with zero help from our so called allies, it becomes an achievable goal for you to now understand poor George W. Bush's quandary in fact catch 22, because if he acted he would be dammed, and if he was simply a weak chicken livered low down yellow backed selfish sort, perhaps of the type that would contemplate such destruction of all that is innocent and all that was good in this world, he would again be dammed.  Now that I have found a way to profile Bush so "we the people" can understand how he felt knowing and seeing things you never saw or perhaps never knew actually happened, let me try to profile humanity today.  Truly "insane" "criminals" of the most vial type planned an attack against their fellow man, killed folks that had absolutely nothing to do with the rationalities needed to become some kind of rallying cries for the criminally insane and plot a device like the 911 terrorist acts, let alone insane enough to carry them out.  The Bush legacy has taught us that we must be smarter than the rest, must be able to predict how the world will react albeit it is now clear, we live in a very modern world were the folks actually don't get what is really going on in many instances, and were lucky as can be, to live in the US of A.  Absent our security forces, this world could be headed to hell in a hand basket made by Bin Laden followers.  We must never forget that great statement, "A sucker is born every minute" for the entire world still demonstrates stupidity in not unifying around the effort to rid the planet of terrorists or Evil Dictators.  However the combination of Bush's strength mentality, combined with cowardly allies filled with rhetoric but weak on humanity, human stature, and dignity prove that some folks on this planet did rise above the animal level and we're called Americans.  Rather then our current popular presidents apology tour and after witnessing Syria, Iran and Russia's new strategy of lying but saying nice things they don't mean in an effort to control the West it turns out smart folks will study Bush polices and strength, while the fools will doom themselves to relive the horrors of history past such as the rise of the NAZI party but this time it is Iran and its associated terrorist groups, al-Qaeda and like groups, Syria and too many others.  The reality of how the worlds responds to threats such as Iran's Nuclear WMD's research and development programs proves the fact that we must develop new tactics, work behind the scenes when something is covert, and work openly when something is political.  And we must rebuild our Military to again be second to none.  It is a matter of survival.  little guy ™ 9/11/2013

VISITORS BY COUNTRY

Well, our following demographics have changed to US in first followed in order by China, Canada, Great Britain, France, Romania, Germany, Netherlands, Ukraine, and Australia for my top ten countries.  The days I write about political ideas the large countries seem to stop by and Health Care issues bring increased hits for the day from moderate to small Independent countries around the globe. 

Members although a moratorium from onset, consider opening up the Journal to limited advertising which would bring in revenue to upgrade the Journal and perhaps allow some folks to become reporters.  Clearly if this editor was a reporter, my ideas would be recognized rather then buried by the media.  However, this is not to say that being completely independent is not the most ethical way to maintain the standards not found in said media or the press.  And of course this is not a business but a free communications vehicle for the Academy. little guy ™ 9/10/2013 

EDITOR'S NOTE:

Well folks, the truth be known, my writings saved the day in Syria if Russia can be trusted.  And with wilily "thinking" Putin (KGB-That should tell you we need to rebuild our military and not cut it down!  ASAP.  And this time if the Syrian President acts wrongfully act quickly antithetical to the elected US democrat failings witnessed by the entire world...We must take out Iran's nuclear threat and regain our position in the middle east for example!), only time will tell.  But if Putin does recall all the WMD's from Syria, he will probably receive the Nobel Peace Prize.  Antithetically, the thought of that may be depressing to many, thus below please find my article on Depression for all our elected officials. 

I cannot prognosticate Barack's speech tonight, but up until now, and I can't believe I am writing this, Harry Reid joined John Kerry in heralding the fact that removal of the Chemical WMD's (our up to date tracking intelligence community tells us that many  were the mad man Saddam Hussein's and the rest bought from North Korea and paid for by Russia and Iran), a political resolution fits in perfect with the United States leadership role in the area of humanitarian concerns for our times and our world.  "Speak softly and carry a big stick" is the lesson American history has taught us.  And it still hold true today.

Thus politicians, without further Ado, please find my article on Beating Depression.

BEATING DEPRESSION THROUGH MEDICAL INFORMATION MASTERY ANDS POEMs

 INTRO INTO DEPRESSION:  

DIAGNOSIS:

Major Depressive Disorder or MDD, is one of the more commonly encountered chronic relapsing psychiatric disorders, which causes significant impairment to those afflicted.  Depression is a feeling of sadness and misery, usually accompanied by lowered self-esteem and ranging from feelings of inadequacy and incompetence to a full-blown delusional state.  Initial episodes often occur in adolescence although, MDD can first develop late in life.  Periods of exacerbation of MDD are marked by anhedonia, feelings of failure, inability to think positively about current life events or the future, and suicidal thoughts.  Both genetic and environmental influences increase an individual’s risk of MDD.  The periods of remission can last for years, during which patients lead quite normal lives.  Relapse has been associated with stressful life events.

Within our nation, lifetime incidence of MDD is 20% in women and 12% in men. Prevalence is as high as 10% in patients observed in a medical setting.  Cultural influences on the presentation of depression can be significant. The practitioner should be aware of differences in the expression of psychological distress in patients from other countries or cultures. Some cultural patterns are mentioned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR); for example, MDD may be expressed as fatigue, imbalance, or neurasthenia in patients of Asian origin.  MDD is a disorder with significant potential morbidity and mortality, contributing as it does to suicide, medical illness, and disruption in interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, and lost work time.

PUTIN READS THE JOURNAL SHOULDN'T EVERYBODY "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

In my article below called WAR HAWKS NOT CONSISTENT ON TERRORISTS ON THE GROUND IN SYRIA, I wrote Has anyone reached out to Syria and advised "if Syria would give up its Chemical Weapons" then its tittering President could ask for UN Troops and/or others, to come into Syria and help weed out Terrorists.   And only a few days later Putin offered a policy which would require Syria to give up its Chemical Weapons!  Facts folks only the facts.  And Syria indicates it would do so. 

Look lobbing some missiles into Syria may take out some WMD's but it absolutely will kill some folks unnecessarily.  Clearly our nation is the humanitarian nation of our planet.  And when we go to war it is because it was the last vestige of hope for "all that is good".   Barack's limited strike is at this point in time absolutely un-Christian in its nature.  It would NOT eliminate the cause of Syria's ills-its President and it would NOT eliminate terrorist factions rooming around armed in Syria.  More specifically lobbing some cruise missiles into Syria is POINTLESS as it does not correct the cause of the problems in Syria or more specifically Iran.  But it could kills some innocents folks and that would be un-American (It won't eliminate Al Assad and it would NOT clean out Terrorists factions warring in Syria.  It won't stop Iran and Russia [Strategic Weapons systems] from financing the purchases of the WMD's made in North Korea [Chemical Weapons] and it wont stop North Korea from manufacturing WMD's.  It wont stop Iran from building Nuclear weapons and it wont stop Hamas or al-Qaeda from attacking innocents throughout the middle east-Pointless...but it will kill some innocents called simply collateral damage.  And finally it will allow Russia and China to sit by and record every command made, learn American War Methods 101 and so froth, from their ships moving as I write into the Mediterranean Gulf!-POINTLESS).

Unfortunately our President has not been keeping up with the Journal.  Clearly if he would have taken the approach this editor opined for him, the world would have been with him.  But this dithering offer of a limited pointless strike has proved embarrassing for him and our nation.  Further I opined that with Barack's great speaking skills he would be the best spokesperson for an elimination of the Syrian Dictator as well as all terrorists in Syria.  But when Barack spoke at the G20 Summit he wasn't very good.  This editor would opine he didn't have his heart in it because the limited strike approach docent make any sense.  And the world thinks poorly of us for it.  Barack already cut 1 trillion from the military and more is coming soon.  All horrible for American credibility when claiming the moral ground from which to fight from as this is the weakest Military the US has had since pre-WWII.  Rather then being cutting edge and financed in a healthy manner, we have cut back on our Navy, Army and Air-force not to mention an ever lowering force within all branches of our military concomitant with the largest number of injured and disabled Veterans since WWII.  Poor Barack and our nation as Barack has unconsciously ruined everything.

Folks after seeing what has transpired, our next President must rebuild our military so we are never in this position again.  Further our congress must mandate that all weapon systems and construction be done here at home with no money's spent outside the US.  This will help rebuild homeland manufacturing and production and bring home jobs.  Barack has made too many rooky mistakes especially when realizing that Putin himself took an American idea from this Journal to make himself look smart.  And he did and does!  With Syria looking good if it gives up its WMD's!

This editor would vote for Syria to give up its Chemical Weapons as punishment for its inability to resist the temptation to use Chemical Weapons, and also would vote to save the money and lost American lives involved with any Syrian conflict until we rebuild our nations infrastructure/military and bring the jobs and manufacturing home to the good old US of A.  Let me know what you think if you have time and I hope you continue to read, the InfoJustice Journal. little guy ™ 9/9/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LISTEN UP AMERICA BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!

It's a shame that we need to hear this from the Russians; This should be coming from our President; The individual occupying the White house would not have the guts to make this speech!!!

This is one time our elected leaders should pay attention to the advice of Vladimir Putin...how scary is that?

On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia :

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia , to work and eat in Russia , should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia , and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America , England , Holland and France , if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation!!!

Dear V,

Once again you hit the nail on the head.  It is clear that Barack has a lot to learn and little left in the way of time to do so relative to foreign or domestic relations.  Sure he has his cronies like McCain, Pelosi, Reid, Boehner, Petraeus and others that can't think out of the box and simply are follow the leader types, with the evidence being  the job market remains poor, the social fabric of our nation was torn by the above so called leaders, and as it turns out, Putin sounds more American then progressives.  Even Israel disagrees with the current War Drums. 

Yes our country is way off base and it is folks like you that keep us informed.  Thank you again for contributing to the InfoJustice Journal. little guy ™ 9/7/13

WAR HAWKS NOT CONSISTENT ON TERRORISTS ON THE GROUND IN SYRIA -  "Thus, any strategy must demonstrate the elimination of the Terrorist factions in Syria as an equal goal to removing Bashar al-Assad". - lg

No matter how you cut it (Which side your on-hit Syria, stay out of Syria), what is very very clear is that there are moderate and alleged vetted freedom fighters on the ground in Syria, and in the South perhaps a majority.  However there is also clear cut evidence, Al-Qaeda and its affiliates are able to room freely all over Syria, killing Christian's and anyone else that gets in their way.

Has anyone reached out to Syria and advised "if Syria would give up its Chemical Weapons" then its tittering President could ask for UN Troops and/or others, to come into Syria and help weed out Terrorists.   Conversely, we the people have not heard a consistent, concise, plan with vision, which removes Syria's president, warranties the moderates could take power and ask for immediate help "on the ground" as well as other needs, to eliminate the Terrorists side by side with the alleged moderates, so there is an achievable goal all folks universally can realize and thus achieve in Syria.  And if we must secure the chemical weapons, it will take boots on the ground by someone.  Perhaps the United Nations?  UN credibility has at best been poor.

Today this editor heard one Washingtonian state they had to vote to hit Syria otherwise the President would be embarrassed on the world stage.  Folks, that is the worst reason one could imagine.  Our nation under that line of thinking says it is OK to take human lives so someone isn't embarrassed?  That's cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooold!  And its wrong.  Obviously some folks have their priority based morals on the wrong side of the tracks.

From telling Bashar al-Assad what were going to do along with a timeline,  and with War Hawks not simply admitting what needs to be done to make a rapid correction for the Syrian people, we are being dragged into a War, since we simply are never told the truth and the whole truth.  Perhaps this war should be called McCain's war because he has been studying Syria the longest as a Senator and if it goes right he gets the credit but if it goes wrong, its worse then being caught GAMBLING playing internet poker (TAX PAYER DOLLARS SPENT POORLY  -FIDDLING ON YOUR DIME-IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE FIDDLING ITS WRONG) while the debate over the necessity to take life vs. staying out of the Syrian problem was not of enough importance, for him to be reasonably interested in a debate he is so much a part of.  In other words horrific.  If we go into Syria it needs to be well thought out and not a low percentage gamble.  Further the rationalization of a limited strike to degrade accomplishes what?  There will probably be some WMD's left.  Degrade or destroy his air bases, probably, but as we had to learn in WWII, if the planes can survive, a rough field could be built.  It can't be a one time strike which ends with fields that can be rebuilt quickly with Iranian money with a return to exactly what we had pre-strike.

Further, the Terrorists are stone cold murderers, and as such they don't need numbers per group to infiltrate unless there are brave Syrian's to stand up to them once leaders and others are found dead.  Thus, any strategy must demonstrate the elimination of the Terrorist factions in Syria as an equal goal to removing Bashar al-Assad.  Absent this clear message within our Strategic goals, it becomes an obvious tail that wags the dog scenario absent the gains needed to bring a wonderful life for folks in Syria which would have positive impact on the middle east which could then spread to north Africa and so forth.  

Consistency is a must in our strategy and we must only go to war knowing were going to war.  Any feel good limited strike which will kill for the sake of embarrassment is an embarrassment and must under no circumstances occur.  We must not kill in the name of good unless REAL CHANGE can be the outcome in Syria.  Even the notion of killing with the goal of punishing al-Assad is two killing wrongs don't make a right.  Like punishing ones child with much collateral death and destruction?  Unless al-Assad and Terrorists factions in Syria are taken out, removed from causing any more chaos or imprisoned as war criminals which is what they all are, the problem still exists and could get worse, far far worse.  Which is why we the people need to be smart and thoughtful, when considering going to War or killing with "weapons of war".

It is my hope that we can act intelligently and act like "thinking" folks rather then those that always rush to kill even if there is not an outcome which eliminates the problem, or those that hide their heads in the sand like an Ostrich under attack by a starving Hyenas, lions, leopards or rabid dogs.   If we stay out it must be for sound reasoning.  If we go in reasoning must be sound if not perfect. little guy ™ 9/5/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Dr Neff,

I am writing to you because I need to loose weight for my health. I went to an alternative care practitioner but because I did not have $10,000 on my credit cards he would only accept my case if I took out loans from two of his Businesses finance companies, because each one only would loan $5,000.  Heard a lot from him, but never would he address what I would do to lose weight specifically.  My personal doctor told me that I was a ship heading off to the abyss (Diabetes, Strokes, Heart problems...)....   I would like to hear from you.  Do you have any articles or papers on Weight loss?  I realize you have a lot of knowledge, and would really appreciate some help.

OBESITY

Disease Diagnosis:

The year 2000 was the first in recorded history in which the percentage of people worldwide who are obese exceeded the percentage of people who are starving or malnourished.  Americans are getting heavier just as the rest of the world.  Although obesity is common in all races, ages, and both genders, African-American women are heavier than white or Mexican-American women, Mexican-American men are heavier than white men, and white men are heavier than African-American men.  Men, as a group, are more overweight than women in every age group but two, the 55-64 and 65-70 year old age groups.  Women however, still tend to be more obese than men on average.

UNLIKE EVERYONE IT SEEMS THIS EDITOR WAS LESS MOVED THEN ANTICIPATED BY TODAY'S PRO-HIT SYRIA FORCES SENATE TESTIMONY

Forensic science proves to solve the what, where and how, and then moves to the stage proving WHO employed it.  This editor did not see this today.  It did look like a play to make Barack and John McCain look better!   Screeeeeeeeeeeeech!!!!  Further, with Iran condemning Chemical' WMD'S and then Syria again using them after the condemnation, tells this editor that was the go a head signal from Iran.  And Russia gets its port! 

From the disconnect of evidence to being out manipulated by Iran probably with full consultation from Moscow (Putin wants that port, they want that port...!!!) proves once and for all, enough is enough and either we listen to Dr. Paul - Wiseman extraordinaire and Senator Paul and not get stuck in something we don't need right now, or end the BS, hit him hard, and keep hitting them, concomitant with full press arming of a vetted Syrian population for a justice based Democracy.   Will anything else make sense?

McCain et al must know the involvement with Regime change would be the inevitable outcome for Syria and we would probably have to clean house with Iran.  We either stay out of the conflict or we resolve the conflict. This is the only thing that makes sense.  Mc Cain dislikes Putin's Russia.  Oh yes, Russia must have its warm Mediterranean port, and this editor opines somehow they get to keep the port like an embassy.  A reward if you will for being a superpower rather then laying down with dogs and getting up on the world stage with fleas powder (Chemical Weapons violations the world signed would never occur again...).  Or a shared international port as long as Russia can keep the running of the port and collect fees and so forth.  Perhaps a monetary boon port as well as strategic (But the Paul's, like Paul Revere are trying to warn you about the ramifications of what these exact elected leaders who have left us with the worst recovery since the Great Depression would probably achieve right about now during this cycle.  Its either we're in or we're out unless its just going to be more of the same albeit perhaps tempered when the heat is on by whomever is in power and unleashed again when the worlds back is turned). 

Frankly this subject is much more than that which is illustrated above, but we have the expertise albeit from past Republican leaders, who could come to the task,  full Military and CIA push and for once get it right.  Barack has blown Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran, Syria and the entire Eastern European block, and it would be nice to see him get one thing right that did change the world.  It would be like "how in the heck did the Lord almighty give Barack a way out of his becoming more obvious every day problems due to inexperience situation and deserve a chance to live in History forever as a visionary!

Dear Doctor Neff,

I ran across this website and found your articles on Beating Hypertension and Diabetes we're exactly what I needed.  I reprinted them and brought them to my Doctor who thought they were great.  He was happy to see I was motivated to help solve my own Diabetic and Hypertension problems.  My BP has dropped some since changing my diet to MNT, and my Doctor is working closer with me.

Have you written anything on lowering high Cholesterol?  In any event I just wanted to tell you how helpful you have been.  I have also been telling all my friends about the InfoJustice Journal. 

Dear Dave from California,

Thank you.  My calling in life is to help those that may need professional services from the medical Amalgam even if my emphasis presently is on conservative methods of complimentary care.  And yes I have written an article on Disorders of Lipid Metabolism and hope you and your Doctor find it has an impact on your quest for health.  It seems my works have been strong motivational factors for you, so I will suggest that if you can do nothing else, add aerobic exercise to your health care quotient.  I find men will at least add mild to moderate weight lifting to their programs.  Although weight lifting is not specifically aerobic, if it is cleared by your personal physician, it does help to strengthen the heart, which leads to an easier time with a good aerobic (aerobic exercise may improve insulin sensitivity, HDL-C concentrations, and triglyceride levels thus, may help reduce your Coronary Heart Disease risk profile) program.  Let me know if my article on Beating Dyslipidemia is helpful and I hope you continue to read the InfoJustice Journal, your source for personal Justice through Science.  Your request follows:

BEATING CHOLESTEROL, TRIGLYCERIDES AND DYSLIPIDEMIA THROUGH MEDICAL INFORMATION MASTERY AND POEMs

 INTRO INTO DISORDERS OF LIPID METABOLISM-THE TRANS-FAT TERRORIST

DIAGNOSIS:

What is extremely interesting to note is, that all one hears nowadays is stay away from the “bad fats”, you don’t want “trans-fats”; you do want the good cholesterol and so forth.  But when you study disease, or what interest’s students, absent is much in the way of interest, understanding and discussion of the fat terrorists or hyperlipidemia.  Thus a review of the top physicians and surgeons on this topic.

The reality is that what you hear is a siphoning of the evidence from somewhat multifaceted subjects which by the end of the day, are disorders of lipid metabolism intimately associated with diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.  These disorders in conjunction with the prevalence of high-fat diets, obesity, the invention and utility of trans-fatty acids, and physical inactivity, have resulted in an epidemic of atherosclerotic disease in the United States and other developed countries. The interaction of common genetic and acquired disorders of lipoproteins with these adverse environmental factors leads to the premature development of atherosclerosis as a global epidemic which is getting worse evidenced by increasing world obesity and hypertension.   Thus, this is a basic introduction into a much deeper science involving Dyslipidemias, hyperlipidemia and hypolipdos especially relative to hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (End of Article).

Best of luck Dave, for a healthier and more enjoyable life though cutting edge healthcare science. little guy ™ 9/4/13

SKEPTICS CORNER ALERT - NEW AREA CODE FRAUD "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas"  Benjamin Franklin

Some folks actually received a call last week, from the 809 area code.  The woman said "Hey, this is Karen.  Sorry I missed you- get back to us quickly.  I have something important to tell you"  Then she repeated a phone number beginning with 809.

 They did not respond. Then this week, they received the following e-mail: Do Not DIAL AREA CODE 809, 284, AND 876 from the U.S. or Canada.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T. DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809.  This one is being distributed all over the US ... This is pretty scary, especially given the way they try to get you to call.

The scam artists get you to call by telling you that it is information about a family member who has been ill or to tell you someone has been arrested, died, or to let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc.  In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away.  Since there are so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls.  If you call from the U.S. or Canada, you will apparently be charged a minimum of $2425 per-minute.  And you'll also get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges.

HOW IT WORKS:

 The 809 area code is located in the Dominican Republic.  The charges afterward can become a real nightmare.  That's because you did actually make the call.  If you complain, both your local phone company and your long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

Folks acquire news from the Academy and you wont get taken.  Stay informed with the InfoJustice Journal and be safe. little guy ™ 9/02/2013

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY-ONE

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE PARTY BOYS

Two young men in their early twenties were unmarried and employed by the railroad as brakemen.  In addition they were roommates and shared an apartment.  Both of them sustained back injuries at approximately the same time.  One claimed an injury when a switch crew coupled into a caboose that he was standing in, and the other claimed injury while trying to line a stiff switch. Both of these injuries were minor.  However, the brakemen retained the same attorney and filed a lawsuit.  the both returned to work at approximately the same time after being off about six months.

After the return to work they would lay off at various times complaining of back pain.  An interesting pattern developed.  It seemed they would both claim back pain on the same days and lay off work, and it was usually on weekends that the pain occurred.  We placed surveillance on them and learned that they were dating airline stewardesses and going out drinking and dancing and generally having a very good time.  All of these dates occurred when they were laying off work claiming back pain.  It seems they were having a great time and trying to get paid for it as well.

The first case went to trial and the film and activities were revealed to the jury. The jury returned a very low verdict, less than the claimed wage loss.  Following this, the second brakeman saw the light and settle for less than his wage loss rather than face a jury.

RAILROAD WIVES

To many railroader's wives and families, particularly those living in small towns, the railroad becomes a very important and large factor in their daily lives.  These people are neighbors and socialize together and many railroad wives talk the same ling that their husbands do, and use many words of railroad terminology in their daily conversations.  They are as familiar with the railroad as their husbands, and their discussions are filled with railroad events and terminology.

THE DRINKING FIREMAN

A 32 year old Fireman slipped and fell from the steps of a locomotive engine moving about 20 miles per hour.  He landed in rock ballast on the track bed and sustained multiple severe contusions and lacerations.  In some areas patches of skin had been scraped off.  He returned to work and let me know he wanted to settle the claim.  He resided with his wife in San Luis Obispo, California and I agreed to meet him at his home to discuss this.

I went to his home and met with him and his wife and we entered into settlement discussions.  This started at about 2:00P.M and lasted until approximately 6:00 P.M. when we agreed upon a settlement.  The wife had taken a very active part in the negotiations and seemed pleased with the settlement.  She knew I was about three hundred miles from home and that I would be staying overnight at a motel and she told me she was going to fix dinner for all of us, which she did.  The husband called a liquor store and had a large amount of alcohol and beer delivered to his home.  Immediately upon its arrival he started consuming the alcohol and I joined in moderation, as did the wife.  Several hours later I left for my motel and had to step over the husband who had just passed out on the living room carpet.

Later on the husband became a very helpful witness in several lawsuits, that happened on the railroad, which all occurred within his geographic area, but I did not return to his house for any more drinks.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "Mad Martha" and one case from the section called The Lubricated Railroad Lawyer called "The Missing Attorney".  little guy ™ 9/02/2013

HAPPY LABOR DAY - PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND WATCH YOUR CHILDREN.  new.gif (5622 bytes)

Please have a safe and happy holiday. Yet during our zeal to celebrate, "Labor Day" please be advised that statistically more injuries occur on this holiday than any other.  This is due to the fact that school will start soon and this is the last chance to run and jump into a swimming pool, pond, lake, ocean, or reservoir.

Did you know that Labor day is a celebration of our nations economic achievements for the past year including all the new jobs created?  What say you?  Weeeeeeeeeell, there is nothing we can do about it now so lets hope that next year demonstrates a conscientious, effective and expedient jobs plan that will prove a great economy with new employ opportunities for all, so we can achieve and enjoy a Labor Day that we can all be proud of.

Antithetically, what we all can do this Labor Day national Holliday, is to try to protect our children.  Children exited to get into the water (oceans, lakes, rivers, and swimming pools) sustain serious neck and spine injuries including death. The highest incidence of death for 5 years of age and below occurred in 2003 although this editor had placed this warning for the folks since 1996. Thus the combination of this being the worst year on record for early death with the holiday which has the most death and injury must be an alert. We don't want 2013 to set the horrible record. 

These life threatening injuries can be avoided by becoming aware of the "holiday psychology in play", advise your children accordingly, and try to keep a special eye out for accidents. Primarily the water injuries are sustained by diving and hitting the skull, although other out door water sports must be supervised such as waterskiing, surfboarding and the like. If you or your children compete in a new fall event which requires exercise, warm up, stay out of prolonged sun exposure, and bring electrolytes or even a combination of the simple salts such as diet salt, and 'kosher for their potassium. If you can really prepare "Gator-aid" like drinks are the best.

With the warmest of hopes in our seventeenth year for this alert, the members of the American Academy For Justice Through Science wish all Americans, a happy, healthy, thought provoking and safe Labor Day weekend. little guy ™ 9/1/13

HYPERTENSION AND TYPE II DIABETES A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Recently the true test of an alternative care practitioner who holds himself out to be "the GURU" for eliminating Type II Diabetes, High Blood pressure and all the rest was tested, accidentally.  Realizing my father died from a Heart Attack and having been a Type II Diabetic with blood pressure problems, this editor experienced a life test from an opportunity which presented.  Life is soooo odd sometimes.  Could someone who holds themselves out to be one of the few to cure or reverse Type II Diabetes recognize the very symptoms and signs he claims he can cure?   I know your chomping at the bit to find out if he could recognize the signs and symptoms associated with a Type II Diabetic or pre-Diabetic and the answer was he failed.  Because he was never trained by a Medical School but by others who cherry picked information to add to a "specialty" course for alternative practitioners, he failed horrifically.  I could outline the exact scientifically referenced Biochemistry and pathophysiological failures in the spiel, but that is better left for forensic situations in my past.

It all began with a car accident where I was waiting at a stop light concomitant with emergency vehicles (Several) coming down my side of the street and switching lanes prior to the intersection.  While waiting I was holding my head on my fist.  Suddenly I heard the screech of breaks, my head slipped off my fist as I looked up into the rear view mirror and hit the Steering column (My horn still does not work-just discovered it).  Because I only lost consciousness for a short period of time, when I opened my eyes, with memory a blur, I took stock of the situation and got out of my car to see what exactly happened.  Perhaps a concussion "again".

For back care I went to another alternative care practitioner and he failed with his unusual care relative to what I hoped my progress would have been (...its all too odd), so I stopped acute professional back care.  However my blood pressure was now through the ceiling, my memory and speed of thought was compromised and suddenly my system's were out of whack.  What happened to my brain stem?  X-rays showed a minor compression fracture of C2.

After the failed back care, I brought home an ultrasound unit, and huge powerful interferential unit and cold packs from my storage facility concomitant with taking over the counter Aleve.  I taught my fiancée, a lay person (X-Hospital Administrator and Insurance employee in the executive offices in Chicago for a reinsurer and she would be sent to deposit a check for millions per day at Barkley's to finance the companies you know of...trustworthy) how to do therapy, and until Friday I was living with such care when my personal physician prescribed a CNS muscle relaxer (Non-addictive).  Further I found that my care for my high blood pressure worked and now were going to see if my self MNT care for my diabetic situation worked.  Blood tests on schedule for Diabetes and Cholesterol present findings.

My blood pressure treatment began with medicinal therapy of Atenolol and HTZ for two days only.  Why?  I wanted immediate relief for the blood pressure problem so no end organ damage would occur.  Within two days the blood pressure dropped over 60 points...yes 60!!!!!!!!!!   I stopped taking the Atenolol and HTZ. 

Could MNT diet and exercise, which I was taught in Medical School work?  Well shazam it did and the proof was validated yesterday.  After the two day's of modern medicinal therapy (Atenolol and HTZ which was stopped AFTER TWO DAYS!), immediately I had changed my diet to add fresh fish twice a week also cutting out any salt.  350 mg of Magnesium (12 week study showed lowered BP-Hypertension 1998;32:260-265-American Heart Association and Apr;23(4):245-51. doi: 10.1038/jhh.2008.129. Epub 2008 Nov 20-The effect of lowering blood pressure by magnesium supplementation in diabetic hypertensive adults with low serum magnesium levels: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.), was added to my diet along with one clove of garlic per day (I mixed it at the bottom with some unsalted butter and put green beans, asparagus and broccoli into the mix).  I withdrew my grape juice for water.  For Cholesterol I added 500 mg per day of Nicotinic Acid along with my normal vitamins.  In only three weeks time my BP dropped over 60 points and remains within the normal range 119/74 although not at my life normal of 104/60.  In time I believe it may.  Cognitive function speed and memory returned with a delayed and then abrupt haste.

Folks, MTN or Medical Nutritional Therapy worked and I did not need all the wasteful blood, stool, and urine tests offered by others saving me over $3,000.00 for the first round of testing and proved MTN is all folks need.  Folks please read my article on Beating Diabetes and if you know someone with Type II Diabetes, rather then experimenting with folks absent the proper education in these matters, learn the "Truth" yourself and ask your doctor for MTN.  Below please find first my article written for my Family Medicine Rotation on Beating Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) and then my article on Beating Diabetes written for my Internal Medicine Clinical Clerkships in Medicine, Jackson Park Hospital (Green Accredited) Chicago Ill.   This editor must opine that “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”John, viii, 32.  And you wont have to pay 8-17 thousand dollars for a Guru.  I did it for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

BEATING HYPERTENSION THROUGH MEDICAL INFORMATION MASTERY AND POEMs

 INTRO INTO HYPERTENSION-THE UNCONVINCIBLE DISEASE

 

Hypertension Diagnosis:  

Hypertension is not controlled.  Patients today often make excuses for why things go wrong?  Often they fail to believe in scientific knowledge, or even if they comprehend, they fail to implement simple changes in their lifestyles which could save their lives once these changes become unconscious good health habits.  Much like obesity, it can be an insidious disease which in many cases could have been avoided, controlled or delayed until the golden years by sound unconscious life habits.  Unlike Obesity, where the patient and the world are readily able to acknowledge the condition even unconsciously, folks often cannot perceive the effects of hypertension and find the condition extremely difficult to put a handle on, or believe they have it once proven so, which often requires much in the way of patient education (Patient education is often a “priory for success”).  This absence of initial symptoms relative to even very high blood pressures, often take the patient by surprise.  As we see later in this discussion under treatment, dependant upon the patient’s presentation blood pressure levels, mild, moderate, severe, and so forth, determines lifestyle changes combined with diet and exercise, where a patient with a blood pressure of 230/110 absent symptoms would need appropriate immediate medication.  Many patients remain inconvincible, and if patent education is absent early on, patient abstinence from home and work lifestyle changes, adherence to exercise and diet and taking necessary and often life saving medications remains an obstacle for the patient’s true desire to “live” healthfully. Often a part of patient education is explaining the catastrophic end organ damage and circumstances or damage to the heart and kidneys as a direct result of hypertension (We make excuses for why things go wrong?  We fail to believe in scientific knowledge, or even if we comprehend, we fail to implement simple changes in our lifestyles.).  

 

BEATING DIABETES MELLITUS THROUGH MEDICAL INFORMATION MASTERY AND POEMs

 INTRO INTO DIABETES MELLITUS-THE INCONROVERTIBLE DISEASE BY SCOTT D. NEFF DC DABCO MPS-BT MSOM CFE DABFE FAABT FFABS FFAAJTS

 

Diabetes Mellitus Diagnosis:  

As we have seen with Obesity and Hypertension (Past Two Articles for my Family Medicine Rotation 1a/1b and this article for my Jackson Park Rotation in Internal Medicine-attendant Dr. Murthy, MD Hospital Director), it was the little things in life, made as positive unconscious health habits, which when implemented can reverse said conditions through a life commitment for health.  As you will see, both obesity and hypertension control are essential elements in controlling diabetes.  However Diabetes and its various types have genetic or acquired links, receptor damage, cell damage necessary for the production of prime hormones affecting the insulin and glucagon worlds, which further complicate concepts of complete cure for even moderate to severe disease. 

Thus, Diabetes Mellitus is presently an incurable yet in many cases more manageable then previously (just the last decade) thought disease which is a major cause of premature death and disability within the United States.  As far back as 1997 and for that year alone, direct medical cost and lost-productivity was measured at $59 billions per year.  And has been rising ever since.  For an alarming example, Diabetes mellitus is on the rise in the United States in adolescents with an elevated BMI (end of article).

Folks, because this is the truth, and I have nothing to gain but BLESSINGS FROM THE ETERNAL, I have rewritten my experience from my honest attempt to grade someone who offers to treat things for 10's of thousands of dollars which could be treated for reasonable normal and customary medical fees. 

This editor must opine that I would not run the risk for omission of proper diagnosis and cost effective care, hope you all can stay safe and I hope you will continue to read an honest ethical (bloviating I guess) Chiropractic Orthopedist and Doctor of Medicine (Unlicensed) from the heartfelt quest to spread truth in our society which eliminates the mistakes we all could make when trying to help ourselves out of dire medical consequences.  For when we are sick, folks become too ill to make healthy contemplations about lotions, potions, decoctions, medications, best health choices akin to one whose guard is down, essentially their back is turned, and fall prey to a health care mentality that is widespread within our nation today and across the globe. 

This is not Dr. Oz who has in his own way been exposing truth from fiction in many who do share a space in the health care industry or my friends in today's ever evolving and improving Naturopathy.  I like Dr. Oz, never met him and only watched perhaps three shows part way through when the anti-nonsense outside of medical school remedies and cosmetics (FDA purview in my day) review was brought to my attention. No this is someone who chose Quackery over rational and responsible honesty in diagnosis, care and their hateful allegations against organized medicine, their own licensing board or anyone that disagrees with them.  They chose to claim they know more then the Medical Profession, more then professor's of internal medicine, international standards for diagnosis and care as established by the World Health Organization, medical licensing boards, more then others in their own profession with far more education and knowledge then they, and more then accredited University Professors in Biochemistry, physiology, pathology, pathophysiology, neurophysiology, nutrition and so forth, as taught in the finest Universities within this great Republic or around the globe. 

I love life and therefore I love my Lord and I love my country.  And from this love is my motivation to help all folks including the honest alternative care and "right on" complimentary care practitioners, who offer rational and responsible care with associated rational and responsible professional costs for “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED OTHER INTERESTING AND HUMOROUS CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE GREEDY HUSBAND

A 21 year old single female was on her way to catch a bus at the corner of 50th and Alameda Street in Los Angeles at about 8:30 A.M. on a clear morning.  She saw the bus and started to run to catch it.  Her path took her in front of an engine, which was shoving seven boxcars, and she was struck by the lead boxcar and knocked to the ground, where the wheels of the boxcar passed over he leg almost into the groin and amputated it.  She was completely oblivious to the noise of the train and the railroad crossing signals, which were functioning.

Fortunately there was  a conductor on he railroad train crew who hade been through two years off medical school and because of financial problems never completed his doctoral program.  The arteries were severe in the leg an were spurting blood.  The conductor using only his thumbs to apply pressure stopped the bleeding before the ambulance arrived, and probably saved her life.

After investigating the accident I visited the young lady and her mother in the hospital and told them I would try ultimately to make a settlement with them.  They seemed very favorable to this but about a month later I received a letter from an attorney who represented her, and he subsequently filed a lawsuit.  During the course of litigation I learned that she had become married shortly after the accident, and it was obvious that the husband could see money in the case and pushed her to an attorney.

Prior to trial, I made an offer of $200,000, which was declined, and I was advised that the demand to settle was one million dollars.  I learned that there was a shoeshine man who worked out of a pool hall adjacent to the area and was a witness.  When I interviewed him he advised that he had seen and heard the railroad signals in operation but did not see the accident until he heard someone yell 'Lord have Mercy" and saw a crowd gather near the injured girl.

The plaintiff attorney in this matter was very money oriented and would not listen to any reasonable discussions of settlement.  We knew we would have to try the case and the railroad defense attorney told me that it would be necessary to bring the shoeshine man to court, as he was a key witness.  He and I went to the pool hall, which was in a totally black neighborhood of Los Angeles and subpoenaed the man.  I assured him that we would pay any money he lost from his business while appearing in court.  The trial had started several days previously and he was to appear the next day.

He failed to appear, and the defense attorney notified the judge that he had been subpoenaed and I verified this.  The judge then called him at the pool hall and told him that if he did not appear at court at 1:30 P.M. the Marshall would arrest him and he would be placed in jail.

The shoeshine man appeared at 1:30 P.M. and was an extremely angry individual.  When he got on the witness stand, he blurted out, "I don't know why I am here.  All I know is that I saw the red lights on the signals flashing and heard the bells ringing." The defense attorney then said, "I have no further question of this witness".   After a very short cross-examination by the plaintiff attorney he was released.  His testimony destroyed the plaintiff allegations of no warning from the train, a dnt the jury returned with a defense verdict (They awarded no monetary damages).

While I never saw the young lady again I did run into her attorney several times in the halls of verious court rooms in the Los Angeles area.  He was very bitter about his defeat and whenever he saw me he would walk over and ask, "How many people did you kill today?"

THE HONEYMOON COUPLE

I received a call at about 3:00 A.M. one morning that a train had run over a man and woman and the man was deceased.  I drove to the scene of the accident which was a cold storage plant located at 3rd and Alameda Streets in Los Angeles, California.  I then learned that the night time switching job known as "The Rat-Hole Crew" had come into the spur track with a locomotive and coupled into a 60 foot refrigerated car and pulled it out and gone about their business.  Unknown to them a man and woman had gone underneath the car and spread out a blanket and were sleeping, among other things.

A night watchman had been proceeding along the street and heard moans coming from the area.  When he drove over he observed that the man had been cut in half and was dead.  The woman had suffered an amputated leg and was moaning.  She asked the watchman for a cigarette, which he gave her, and he then called for an ambulance and police. The woman had documentation that she was a welfare recipient and was to report to a clinical appointment the next day for a pregnancy test.

I made contact with the crew who remembered pulling the reefer car but had not observed the man and woman.  I might add that it was pitch black in the area where the incident occurred.

Several days later I received a telephone call from an attorney who wanted to make a quick settlement or he would file a lawsuit.  I told him that I had no intention o0f making monetary offer in this matter.  I never did hear from him again and no lawsuit was filed.      Stormin Norman Udewitz

Folks, come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts.

Next Week, two cases from the section called Interesting Cases and Incidents; the case of "Matagorda County, Texas" and "The Paternity Suit". little guy ™ 7/2/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - LETS REPRINT- WHERE ARE THE OBAMA GIRLFRIENDS?

I hadn't thought about this - but where are Obama's past girlfriends?  Surely he had at least one?  No past girl friends popping up anywhere?  Strange - strange to the point of being downright weird!

OK, this is just plain old common sense, no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for citizens of a country, especially American citizens, who know every little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even know that Andrew Jackson's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a back brace, or Truman played the piano.

We are Americans! Our media vets these things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for our 'fellow man.' We care, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president.  Honestly, and this is a personal thing ... but it's bugged me for years that no one who ever dated him ever showed up.  Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not have missed the opportunity. 

We all know about JFK's magnetism, McCain was no monk, Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess were probed.  Biden's aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton - we all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild Bill before or during the White House?  Nope ... not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy," or "What a great dancer!" Now look at the rest of what we know ... no classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes, ever heard of him. 

Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony.  Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn't it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or lived with him.  When did he meet Michele and how?  Are there photos?  Every president provides the public with all their photos, etc. for their library.

What has he released?  Nothing - other than what was in own this so-called biography! And experts who study writing styles etc. claim it was not O's words or typical of his speech patterns, etc. Does this make any of you wonder? Ever wonder why no one ever came forward from Obama's past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc.?

Not one person has ever come forward from his past.  This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie titled, The Manchurian Candidate?  Let's face it. As insignificant as we all are ... someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or face ... someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully or something about us.  George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one has acknowledged that the president was in their classroom or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984.  He says he never had a single class with him.  Since he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? And, why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?  Do you like millions of others, simply assume all this is explainable - even though no one can?  NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA.

Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but not one remembers him. For example, Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at Columbia , who graduated in 1983.  In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.  I don't have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia .. EVER!"  Nobody recalls him.  Root adds that he was, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that.. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him." At our 20th class reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class?  Me.  No one ever heard of Barack!  And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was.  The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him."  Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia ... How can this be?  NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major in the same '83 class in which Barack Hussein Obama states he was.  Some other interesting questions.  Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002?  Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order?

According to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama - but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases.  WHAT!?  The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.  No wonder all his records are sealed!  Please continue sending this out to everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school... before he "reorganized" Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and speaking pizzazz.

One of the biggest CONS this country has ever seen, and getting away with it. This is scary on many levels!

Dear V VIP,

Fascinating how the world works today, and what folks can accomplish absent a CV like ours because they have little in the way of experience.  For the same reason I have often refrained from writing the obvious about Barack, and took down a fascinating look at some Alternative Care Providers from a Skeptics view.  Thank you very much!  Yet like Barack, some where out their is an honest, fair, with all the positives real Afro-American-All American future politician or real Chiropractor etc and just because we know the big picture, some of these issues are better left to Examining Boards and active members of the new millennium National Council Against Health Fraud, and national accreditation agencies rather then folks who simply want to answer their call to care for those that need them.  In Barack's case oversight is the Congress   or Supreme Court .   Indeed.  We need change.  This editor must opine that we just tried a full slate of Democrats running the show, and it would be interesting to see what a full slate of Conservative/Moderate Republicans could accomplish. 

Fascinating how the world works today, but together, united on building the opportunity for peace and prosperity for all, create jobs the only way a society can, and yes the conservatives although debating their views continually, do offer salvation opportunity for each and every citizens pocket book, which ENABLES folks to finish dreams started, and re-enables those that hit the pavement sliding and during this cycle it may have been downward.

Thus, this editor reprinted your fine and thought provoking letter, but have declined to publish the "Walking Eagle" reprint story with pictures.  When this first happened my sources demonstrated a similar story for some past Presidents and Senators.  I do appreciate your new contributions these last months, and urge you to keep up the good thought provoking work.  Thank you. little guy ™ 8/29/2013

THE SUBJECT WAS HELPING EGYPT AND IT WAS CHANGED TO BOMBING SYRIA "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin-"

National dialogue is still controlled by President Barack Obama.  The object changed (Syria from Egypt although its the same subject; clever) after my article below PUTIN OUTSMARTS AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES - OBAMA MCCAIN CHRISTIE (OBAMA LIGHT) AND OTHERS "Failed leadership put us behind the 8-ball rather then leading or winning "8-ball" for regional politics", clearly we are behind the 8-ball for regional politics.  Further this editor went on to bloviate that anyone who plays Chess often, knows we can get out of Check, which is the position we are in right now in Egypt, however Checkmate is right around the corner unless we begin to think WITH VISION (Must be several moves a head in the minds eye so to speak).  Tada.  Only a short future from the prognostication and here we are, behind the 8-ball of Middle East Politics and with the Syrian card being played proving we are now one step closer to being in check mate (Helpless to control our own destiny). 

This editor knows my article motivated the caring and the bright to act but real vision needs to be employed because anything symbolic only, rather then game changing strategies, will look as bad to the pundits as doing nothing at all.  Suddenly the administration noticed the tragedy in Syria?!  Come on folks.  We, together, and at its best categorize Barack as in the fold of the carrying (misunderstood?) and the bright, then an open proclamation of support for non-terrorist associated (case by case proof sadly but it's achievable) Syrian citizens, will have full backing by the such and such coalition for Justice honed Democracy in Syria.  Full frontal assault; TV, Radio into Syria, drop pamphlets, CIA full on specifics, logistics and modalities, to prove the true purpose of response to anyone using Chemical Weapons on the family for humanity.  Thus asking the question, "What is it going to take to bring legitimate peaceful civilians in Syria the invaluable right to vote for destiny of their own nation?"  Or "what will it take to bring the Syrian President into the aware world, from the dark visions of Iran and trouble maker (More like Eddie Haskell) Russia.

Thus far the vision reported by the administration, its appointees and pundits, have offered up an unwise plan.  But it hasn't happened yet, and the kind of speak needed to take rains of the Bully Pulpit, perhaps what he was born to do, was the young Senator Barack Obama, orator extraordinaire.  Any Conservative could write exactly the right speech for Barack to hit the ball around the globe.  He has the skills but the Democrat focus is very blurred and untogether on the issues that unite us all.  Lets find a way to make peace an achievable goal in Syria and Egypt, so they can join Israel as symbols that the impossible can be achieved and "all that are good" can live in harmony in the Middle East.

Russia has to come to the world court and prove its on the side of Justice guided Democracy.  The full frontal assault, doesn't arm any insurgents or "insane" terrorists within Syria, but begins to grab all of us universally by the heart, and strikes against Chemical Depots, a coalition no fly zone (No US Troops on the Ground as lord knows we have done our part and its time for others in the Region to become involved; for now), with the reasoning that with the fighting stopped, both sides can present their cases to the Syrian people and have the first election absent universal death for too many sons and daughters of warring entities, and doesn't need a coup to remove one who lied from day one as in the case of Morsi, to the people of Egypt, and totalitarian governments are simply out in Egypt and perhaps they are on the way out in the "thinking" Middle East. 

Having bloviated this, one must bloviate further that only with such full frontal assault if Syria is the change the subject most menacing subject of the day goal to achieve, because we're in Check in Egypt and Syria, action on both must commence.  Barack is the first President from the far far far left to become President and as such, he as no one before, would not be held in the constraints that the Military (Coup) of Egypt has been doing a good job outside of the failed Christian Holocaust, but with the USA back in the game, Barack could get us out of Check Mate and become the best friend to Egypt and solve the Syrian failed Russian/Iranian experiment, with the emphasis to protect Israel, an example for the middle east.  How?  By simply staying out of Israeli politics until the neighborhood is stabilized, safe and sane, so all folks of all the heritages can again travel to find their roots in Egypt, Israel, and even open up Mecca on a local scale. 

Only through a new universal truth shared campaign will anyone listen.  Why?  Because from day one Barack blew it.  But unlike those blowhard pundit politicians for the sake of Fraternity, one simply starts over.  Heck folks, with Baracks speaking talents, behind his own ever evolving 8-ball of the horrible crimes committed against the Conservative and Republican folks by one of our own beloved government agencies, concomitant with Hillarie's failures and alleged misdemeanors associated with Ben Ghazi, the President could use a "tail that wagged the dog" theory as horrible as that sounds but dog fighting contests are going on in two nations in the middle east and their dragging the world down.  The Syrian and Egyptian conundrums are real, their past due on American Leadership, and Barack needs to get off his butt, study his homework (The stuff his aids and staffers supply) and if destiny is so ordained, things could change for the intellectually better in the Middle East, or it will slowly and insidiously degenerate absent the strong hand of support Bush held out, which was pulled out like a rug from under the feet of our then Allies in Eastern Europe, Egypt, Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan. 

Much has been done and little was gained and most would say much was lost in the War Against Terror/Terrorism, in helping the innocent build their Justice oriented Democratic societies in Afghanistan and Iraq-our direct handiwork, in Libya, Egypt and now Syria.  We can completely stay out which sounds so great; it's none of the business of free peoples who care for others in the family of man who happen to be under the threat of extermination such as the case of the Christians in Egypt or the "little folks" of Syria, longing for a simple life of getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home to their family, and living rather then never knowing if there will ever be a job, wondering if they would be killed today walking to a store, parking their bike or car if they have either, or even living another day. 

Thus, some of us folks, long supporters of the CIA lets say, would opine we have work to do, and it does impact us as we either continue on doing nothing which increases exponentially a possible horrible event within the homeland or become wise akin to the George Bush loved America when he advised that if their going to strike us, lets take the battle to them.  And in this case, from experience of the recent years we can carry the big stick selectively absent its full utility as long as we have an intellectual or wise option for those who simply wish to be free.

Amazing though how the Syrian and Egyptian conundrums created by the vacuum of leadership shaped first in Iraq and now Afghanistan, prove we are behind the 8 ball for Middle East politics, and we are only in Check.  The next move is critical, and this editor opines a well thought out employed strategy for resolution of tensions rather then a feel good, bail out act which will be viewed as such (throwing some missiles willy-nilly into Syria) strategy to remove our nation from Check.  Happy Chess folks, for a safer and healthier world! little guy ™ 8/28/13

PUTIN OUTSMARTS AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES - OBAMA MCCAIN CHRISTIE (OBAMA LIGHT) AND OTHERS"Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin-"Failed leadership put us behind the 8-ball rather then leading or winning "8-ball" for regional politics"-lg.

It is now perfectly clear, when Barack Obama, McCain and others in that ilk, who wanted and then cancelled military exercises with the Egyptian Military, and  threatening to cancel food aid to Egypt, allowed Putin to move his Queen and Castle into position and have placed our Governments King in Check.  How?  Putin offered to fill the gap with Military exercises and aid to Egypt. 

Ronald Regan, clearly a thinker maneuvered obvious bad Russian influence out and replaced such bad influence with JUSTICE (Folks know when they have been wronged or received justice as it is universally intuitive and Egyptian politicians in power have failed all the "little guys and gals" of Egypt by an absence of Wisdom...You must be wise and honorable to provide real Justice) and we took their place, and codified Egypt's path toward democracy.  In only five years Barack done consciously (Which many folks feel because he was caught off mike promising Russians deals Americans would never approve of) or unconsciously (An inexperienced man to the end), along with McCain and the other pawns for Russia, are close to guaranteeing Russian/Iranian/Syrian rule over the Middle East!  Indeed.

Antithetically I do believe we should begin a policy of an incremental withdrawal of foreign aid to countries which fail benchmarks in eliminating Terrorism or Terrorist threats within their borders, and to countries which no longer need such aid.  In other words a far more conservative policy where it is legislated to be easier to withhold such aid then to spend it.  And with a special House committee to review the status of such expenditures yearly and present its findings to the American people and all branches of government.  But Egypt the LINCHPIN?  This editor would opine the timing of withholding a joint military exercise and threatening to create further starvation for the people of Egypt while stress is so high, was unbelievably foolish and lacking in vision.   Timing due to forethought is the key, and well we seem to be in the position of "Check" right now in regards to Egypt.  Another way to look at it is that failed leadership put us behind the 8-ball rather then leading or winning "8-ball" for regional politics. 

Anyone who plays Chess often (as yours truly does), knows we can get out of Check, which is the position we are in right now in Egypt, however Checkmate is right around the corner unless we begin to think WITH VISION (Must be several moves a head in the minds eye so to speak).  Why has the lord abandoned us to the likes of Barack's total inexperience, McCain's wrongheaded plans along with those that foolishly agree with them?  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, every chance that has occurred over the last five years see's Christian and Jewish (The Bible) faiths on the losing end of most everything in our country, and in countries with either Terrorist ties or who have allowed Terrorists to grab a stranglehold on its people.  Before the NAZI's took power, they created false enemies to eliminate which is exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood has done.  The Muslim Brotherhood spawned Al-Qaeda who attacked America.  And now that Barack and others continue to step in the poop along the road (in other words into exactly the situations pre-planned by terrorists...i.e. the Muslim Brotherhood killing off the remaining Christians in Egypt, and the US continually weakened at home and in most other countries with a large terrorist presence), decisions made by the present Administration are impotent and unimportant when viewing the WHOLE PICTURE OF GLOBAL TERRORISM and American interests.

If Reagan would have been in office, we would have had the joint military operations with Egypt, and at that time asked THEM to help protect Christians within Egypt.  Clearly we're not this bright under the likes of Barack or McCain.  And with an old KGB spy-guy as head of Russia, any chance he gets, he will try to elevate Russian influence good or bad for the sake of increasing Russian influence.  Putin knows if he went too far the US would act and he would lose support of any business interests within Russia.  But step by step, our government failed to demonstrate any SPINE, in Eastern Europe, in the Middle East, eliminating the war against terrorism and calling acts against US interests around the globe, work-place violence, social violence or other stupid to the point of lunacy descriptors, allowing Terrorist organizations and "all that is evil" in our world to grow in strength and its resolve to kill anyone but themselves (Unless a mentally ill person can be recruited).

If our nation doesn't smarten up soon, it could be check-mate in the Middle East, and we could lose everything this nation achieved since its inception.  Yes if the poor (NO JOBS, thus folks feel hopelessness in the US under Barack) AND OR poor minorities don't like it under Freedom, they will hate it under communism or terrorist rule.  It is time to wake America before its too late. little guy ™ 8/22/2013

 

Hello, everybody --

Michelle and I know exactly how tough it can be to pay for higher education. By the time we finished paying back the loans we took out to go to college and grad school, I was on my way to being a U.S. Senator.

I believe that anyone who works hard should have the same opportunities that our educations gave us. That's why, as President, I've made it a personal mission to make higher education more affordable -- and why I'm going to be visiting school campuses later this week.

Learn more about why this is the time to take action.

The facts are clear. Over the past three decades, the average tuition at a public four-year college has more than tripled. At the same time, many state governments are actually reducing their support for education, and many middle-class students are getting stuck with the tab. Today, the average student taking out loans to pay for education graduates with more than $26,000 in debt.

Just tinkering around the edges won't be enough: To create a better bargain for the middle class, we have to fundamentally rethink about how higher education is paid for in this country. We've got to shake up the current system.

That's why, starting Thursday, I will be embarking on a bus tour to offer my plan to make college more affordable, tackle rising costs, and improve value for students and their families. My plan includes real reforms that would bring lasting change. They won't all be popular with everyone --including some who've made higher education their business -- but it's past time that more of our colleges work better for the students they exist to serve.

Over the past four and a half years, we've worked to put college in reach for more students and their families through tax credits, improving access to financial aid, and new options that make it easier to repay those loans.

But if we're going to keep the doors of higher education open to everyone who works for it, we need to do more -- much more. And that's exactly what I'm going to be talking about this week.

So learn more here, then help to spread the word:

Thanks,

President Barack Obama

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK TWENTY

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE OBSESSED MALINGERER

A 38 year old truck driver was driving a tractor-trailer rig in the Los Angles harbor.  The trailer was a tank trailer and was loaded with liquid tallow.  He proceeded to traverse a railroad crossing and the tank trailer was struck by the locomotive of a switch engine moving about six miles per hour.  The truck driver alleged a back injury and argued that he could not ever return to work.  The injury was very questionable in than the liquid tallow would have absorbed almost all of the impact shock before it ever reached the tractor.  He then retained an attorney to file a lawsuit against the railroad.

Although the medical reports did not show a severe injury the plaintiff would not return to work and was obviously trying to build a case.  We placed surveillance on him, but he was very cautious and every time he came out of his house he was using a cane and limped along the sidewalk.  He would also look at all vehicle in the neighborhood to see if there were any strangers parked at the curb.

We got a break in the case when an irate neighbor, who had had a dispute with him, called and advised that the plaintiff was fraudulent.  He said that the man went to the library every day and read workers compensation cases relating to back injuries.  In addition, he was very leery of surveillance and would sit out in his back yard with binoculars and observe any low flying planes.  He would then write down the number of the plane and call the F.A.A. to determine whether it was registered to an insurance company, in an attempt to find out if surveillance was being conducted upon him.

The caller advised he had a falling out with the plaintiff and the plaintiff was out to get him.  Then came the best gift we received in the case.

The caller advised that the plaintiff had two large dogs and he would go out in the backyard after dark to play and wrestle with them.  He stated that we could not observe him in the backyard unless we used the caller's bedroom and he invited us to do so.  We sent the surveillance operative out again, who was armed with night film and used the caller's bedroom for several nights.  As a result we got about two hundred feet of film of the plaintiff wrestling and playing with his large dogs.

During the trial we showed the film to the jury.  They had also taken a dislike to the plaintiff and felt he was fraudulent even before the film.  There deliberations lasted about fifteen minutes and thy returned with a defense verdict.

RAILROAD WIVES

To many railroader's wives and families, particularly those living in small towns, the railroad becomes a very important and large factor in their daily lives.  These people are neighbors and socialize together and many railroad wives talk the same lingo that their husbands do, and use many words of railroad terminology in their daily conversations.  They are as familiar with the railroad as their husbands, and their discussions are filled with railroad events and terminology.

THE TALKATIVE CONDUCTOR'S WIFE

This lady was married to an injured railroad conductor and they resided in a trailer park in Indio, California. After receiving a report of injury, I went by their trailer to introduce myself and meet the husband for the first time.  The wife answered the door and I introduced myself and told her I was the claims representative for the railroad and wanted to speak with her husband about his injury.  She calmly turned and yelled, "Hey Numbnuts, the railroad claims man is here to see you."  She then invited me in and after overcoming my shock I sat down on their couch.  The husband appeared and we discussed the injury to his hand, which occurred when a brake wheel on a railroad car unexpectedly spun and caught his hand fracturing a bone in his wrist.  He was very close to returning to work, which he did, and I told him I would then come by to discuss settlement of his claim.

On the next visit we discussed settlement and the wife fully participated in this and even controlled a large part of their side of the discussion.  At one point she asked me how her husband could be expected to "knock off" a hand brake on a railcar with that kind of a hand.  Knocking off a handbrake is simply releasing the brake on a railcar.  I might also add that many railroaders wives control finances and other decisions that are made within the family and the husband simply works and brings home a pay check.

The case did settle and I always remembered the comments of the wife.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Party Boys" and one case from the section called Railroad Wives, "The Drinking Fireman".  little guy ™ 8/21/2013

LARGE SCALE HOLOCAUST AGAINST 2000 YEARS OF CHRISTIANITY BY MUSLIM BROTHER HOOD

Well, McCain does it again.  This Journal always wanted to find ways to support McCain.  But often as in this case, his positions are not only absent any wisdom or vision, he has turned his back on "all that are good" once again.  His calls to support the Muslim Brotherhood is anti-Christian and anti-G-d.  If McCain had his way, turn the other cheek and forgivingness, and all the qualities of Christianity would be murdered heinously and lost  in Egypt as the Christians and their churches in Egypt are being destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood akin the Holocaust of NAZI Germany.

What in the world happened to John McCain this time?.  But he is not alone.  Rather then supporting the remnants of peace in Egypt as exemplified by the Egyptian military, that last vestige of hope for peace and justice in Egypt, other Republicans as well and many Democrats in power have echoed these despicable, yes despicable opinions.  Shame, shame shame on them.

Frankly the President started it all with his wrongheaded speech in Cairo Egypt, and if we look at the other Democrats as well as the wrongheaded Republicans marching in stride to the beat of the Holocaust Drummer, it is clear why we are losing our strength on the world stage politically as well as socially.  Folks, if some of our elected officials have nothing intelligent to say, they should keep their mouths shut.

It appears our war against Terrorism is doomed to fail, when McCain and others support Terrorists when it suits their political aspirations, but then condemn them when most folks are outraged. 

Thus it is time for a real debate on the future paths we wish to embark on rather then speaking before we can anticipate the outcome.  And from real debate, if our congress ever had one, would bear the fruits of many minds rather then simply an idea of one who wants fame rather then the best for all folks both within our great Republic and abroad.  It is time to think first rather then speak or act.  And from such deep inductive and deductive reasoning, we will find the best course for our nation to embark on. little guy ™ 8/20/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FROM THE DISTINGUISHED DON WAY ESQUIRE FAAJTS

FORT HOOD JIHADIST SHRINK CAME CLEAN ABOUT HIMSELF; WHY CAN'T WE?  By Mark Steyn

On Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked. Three years, eight months and eight days later, the Japanese surrendered. These days, America's military moves at a more leisurely pace. On Nov. 5, 2009, another U.S. base, Fort Hood, Texas, was attacked – by one man standing on a table, screaming "Allahu akbar!", and opening fire. Three years, nine months and one day later, his court-martial finally got underway.

The intervening third-of-a-decade-and-more has apparently been taken up by such vital legal questions as the fullness of beard Maj. Nidal Hasan is permitted to sport in court. This is not a joke: see "Judge Ousted In Fort Hood Shooting Case Amid Beard Debacle" (CBS News). Army regulations require soldiers to be clean-shaven. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, ruled Hasan's beard in contempt, fined him $1,000, and said he would be forcibly shaved if he showed up that hirsute next time. At which point Hasan went to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which ruled that Col. Gross's pogonophobia raised questions about his impartiality, and removed him. He's the first judge in the history of American jurisprudence to be kicked off a trial because of a "beard debacle." The new judge, Col. Tara Osborn, agreed that Hasan's beard was a violation of regulations, but "said she won't hold it against him."

The U.S. Army seems disinclined to hold anything against him, especially the 13 corpses plus an unborn baby. Maj. Hasan fired his lawyers, presumably because they were trying to get him off – on the grounds that he'd had a Twinkie beforehand, or his beard don't fit so you must acquit, or some such. As a self-respecting jihadist, Maj. Hasan quite reasonably resented being portrayed as just another all-American loon gone postal. So he sacked his defense team, only to have the court appoint a standby defense team just in case there were any arcane precedents and obscure case law he needed clarification on. I know that's the way your big-time F Lee Bailey types would play it, but it doesn't seem to be Maj. Hasan's style. On the very first day of the trial, he told the jury that "the evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter." Later, in one of his few courtroom interventions, he insisted that it be put on the record that "the alleged murder weapon" was, in fact, his. The trial then came to a halt when the standby defense team objected to the judge that Maj. Hasan's defense strategy (Yes, I did it; gimme a blindfold, cigarette, and tell the virgins, here I come) would result in his conviction and execution.

Maj. Hasan is a Virginia-born Army psychiatrist and a recipient of the Pentagon's Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, which seems fair enough, since he certainly served in it, albeit for the other side. Most Americans think he's nuts. He thinks Americans are nuts. It's a closer call than you'd think. In the immediate aftermath of his attack, the U.S. media, following their iron-clad rule that "Allahu akbar" is Arabic for "Nothing to see here," did their best to pass off Maj. Hasan as the first known victim of pre-Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. "It comes at a time when the stress of combat has affected so many soldiers," fretted Andrew Bast in a report the now-defunct Newsweek headlined, "A Symptom Of A Military On The Brink."

Maj. Hasan has never been in combat. He is not, in fact, a soldier. He is a shrink. The soldiers in this story are the victims, some 45 of them. And the only reason a doctor can gun down nearly four dozen trained warriors (he was eventually interrupted by a civilian police officer, Sgt. Kimberly Munley, with a 9 mm Beretta) is that soldiers on base are forbidden from carrying weapons. That's to say, under a 1993 directive, a U.S. military base is, effectively, a gun-free zone, just like a Connecticut grade school. That's a useful tip: If you're mentally ill and looking to shoot up a movie theater at the next "Batman" premiere, try the local barracks – there's less chance of anyone firing back.

Maybe this Clinton-era directive merits reconsideration in the wake of Fort Hood? Don't be ridiculous. Instead, nine months after Maj. Hasan's killing spree, the Department of Defense put into place "a series of procedural and policy changes that focus on identifying, responding to, and preventing potential workplace violence."

Maj. Hasan says he's a soldier for the Taliban. Maybe if the Pentagon were to reclassify the entire Afghan theater as an unusually prolonged outburst of "workplace violence," we wouldn't have to worry about obsolescent concepts such as "victory" and "defeat." The important thing is that the Army's "workplace violence" is diverse. After Maj. Hasan's pre-post-traumatic workplace wobbly, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the Army's Chief of Staff, was at pains to assure us that it could have been a whole lot worse: "What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty." And you can't get much more diverse than letting your military personnel pick which side of the war they want to be on.

Like I said, we think he's nuts; he thinks we're nuts. Right now, there's a petition on the Internet, seeking to persuade the United States government to reclassify Hasan's "workplace violence" as an act of terror. There are practical consequences to this: The victims, shot by an avowed enemy combatant in an act of war, are currently ineligible for Purple Hearts. The Pentagon insists the dead and wounded must be dishonored in death because to give them any awards for their sacrifice would prejudice Maj. Hasan's trial and make it less likely that he could be convicted.

Hence, the Internet petition. Linking to it from their home page, my colleagues at National Review Online promoted it with the tag: "Thirteen people lost their lives with dozens of others wounded. And now the man responsible wants to claim it was workplace violence."

That's not true – and, actually, it's grossly unfair to Maj. Hasan. He's admirably upfront about who and what he is – a "Soldier of Allah," as he put on his business card. On Tuesday, he admitted he was a traitor who had crossed over from "the bad side" (America's) to "the good side" (Islam's). He has renounced his U.S. citizenship and its effete protections such as workplace-violence disability leave. He professes loyalty to America's enemies. He says, "I am the shooter." He helpfully informs us that that's his gun. In this week's one-minute statement, he spoke more honestly and made more sense than Obama, Gates, Casey, the Armed Forces Court of Appeals, two judges, the prosecution and defense lawyers, and mountains of bureaucratic reports and media coverage put together.

But poor old Hasan can say, "Yup, I did it," all he wants; what does he know?

Unlike the Zimmerman trial, Maj. Hasan's has not excited the attention of the media. Yet it is far more symbolic of the state of America than the Trayvon Martin case, in which superannuated race hucksters attempted to impose a half-century-old moth-eaten Klan hood on a guy who's a virtual one-man melting pot. The response to Nidal Hasan helps explain why, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, this war is being lost – because it cannot be won because, increasingly, it cannot even be acknowledged. Which helps explain why it now takes the U.S. military longer to prosecute a case of "workplace violence" than it did to win World War II

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CALLED SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS?

THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington, DC.  I got an unexpected history lesson.  Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd.  Most were the age of my parents, Veterans of 'the greatest war,' with their families.  It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor:  'Yesterday, December 7, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.'

One elderly woman read the words aloud: 'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'

Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.'  'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech.' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'  But she had not forgotten. She was right. I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley.  It's all about the battle at Iwo Jima.  I haven't gotten too far in the book.  It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.

But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in 'so help us God.'

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me.  I was born after the war!  But they couldn't fool the people who were there.  Roosevelt 's words are engraved on their hearts.

Now I ask: 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'

Send this around to your friends.  People need to know before everyone forgets.  The people today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning.  He still wants to be...and He always will be! 

Editors Note:  Dear V,

Here is a photo of the monument in question.  

Let me end with your ending statement.  If you agree folks, pass this on and God Bless YOU!  If not, May God Forgive You!  And future Historians report on which party was in power when all this took place.  This act is infamy. little guy ™ 8/16/13 -  In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of.

THE SOLAR THING JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING AS THE MYSTERY OF THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE CLOG DISCOVERED

The Solar thing just got a little more interesting...REALLY!  The Tonopah Solar company in Harry Reid's Nevada is getting a $737 million loan from Obama's DOE. The project will produce a 110 megawatt power system and employs l45 permanent workers.  That's costing us just $16 million per job!

One of the investment partners in this endeavor is Pacific Corporate Group (PCG). The PCG executive director is Ron Pelosi who is the brother of Nancy's husband.  These democrats always point two to lower level folks in the energy department as the cause. 

But today, the Keystone Pipeline Company plumber stumbled on the cause of our energy dependence on foreign entities who have done anything but defend our Republic against terrorist tyranny.  Yes now we know why?

ISRAEL MOVES INTO 5TH PLACE FOR FOREIGN NATIONS READING THE JOURNAL

Israel jumped up into 5th place behind Canada, Great Britain, China and the US in nations reading the Journal.  This editor welcomes Israel, who is followed by France, Germany, Ukraine and so forth with Russia dropping down to 15th place.  This editor thought it was interesting for the Academy Associates to realize they are being read around the Globe.  Lets all try to demonstrate to the world the highest of ethics and morality while keeping the hopes for Freedom and good will on folks minds. 

I also noticed Saudi Arabia has moved into 23rd place and urge them to get the folks in the great nation of Egypt into the top 25.  This Journal supports Saudi Arabia's efforts to help Egypt oust Morsi, and longs for the days I can travel down the Nile again feeling safe.  This Journal loves Egyptian history and of course loves factual genetic half brother Kings of Saudi Arabia (Believe it or not, in 1986 this editor was invited to practice Chiropractic in Saudi Arabia).

Thank you all for your continued support, and keep reading the InfoJustice Journal.

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK NINETEEN

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE VINDICTIVE GIRLFRIEND

A 28 year old engineer was working on a yard-switching job and fell from the steps of his standing locomotive, fracturing his jaw and knocking out several teeth.  He also sustained a concussion.  He was off work about six months and retained an attorney who filed a lawsuit.

Prior to the trial, we received a call from his ex-girlfriend who was a woman scorned.  She advised that she had been living with the engineer and he had had a severe case of the flu at the time of his accident.  He also told her he had become dizzy from the flu and this is what caused him to fall form the locomotive steps.  In addition she gave us a name of a doctor who had treated him for the flu.

The case started trial and the plaintiff testified that he had slipped on oil on the step of the locomotive causing him to fall.  We subpoenaed the doctor who had treated him for the flu and he brought his records to court and so testified.  The ex-girlfriend also appeared, and over strong objections from the plaintiff attorney, was allowed to testify that the plaintiff had told her about his dizziness as a result of the flu, causing the fall from the locomotive.

As a result of this testimony, the jury did not believe his story and rendered a defense verdict.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED THE LUBRICATED RAILROAD LAWYER

THE STRUCTURED SETTLEMENT

A structured settlement is simply an annuity, which is purchased by the defendant for the plaintiff with a major insurance company in settlement of the case. Previously agreed upon payments are then made to the plaintiff, usually on a monthly basis, and usually for the rest of his life.  This is a particularly useful way to protect a plaintiff not used to handling large sums of money and it cannot go down the drain. Also, no income tax is paid on the payments as the law states that settlements for injury are not taxable.

The involved case stems from a crossing accident in which a train struck a vehicle.  One of the passengers was fatally injured, and the driver and other passenger were severely injured.  The railroad had liability problems in that there were  no gates with signals at the crossing.  Defense of the case had been assigned to the drinking attorney.  The case was ultimately st for trial, and we were ordered to court for a mandatory settlement conference in front of a judge.  The railroad was prepared to pay a substantial sum to settle, but the plaintiff attorney demanded an enormous amount.

The judge spent the morning trying to work both sides closer together, and then called the attorney and myself into his chambers and advised he thought it would settle in the area of what we were willing to pay, if a structure were involved. I told him I thought I could get a structured settlement analyst to come to his courtroom if he would give us a recess during the lunch hour, which he did.  The attorney and I then went back to the office and agreed to meet and go back to court fifteen minutes before we were to appear.  I called a structured settlement analyst who agreed to meet us in court.

The attorney did not show up at the appointed time and I called his office.  The secretary told me he was in the bar on the main floor.  He had a habit of drinking his lunch in this bar.  I went downstairs and found him sitting glassy-eyed at the bar.  I had to wait for him to pay his bar bill and I then drove him to court.

I told him I thought the case would settle and I would handle everything and that I wanted him to stay a good distance form the judge and not say anything unless asked, and not to breathe on anyone.  The case did settle and we put the settlement on the record.  Fortunately the attorney just smiled and said yes at the appropriate times.  The attorney later returned to the bar and spent the rest of the day involved in his favorite pastime.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editor's note:  Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!  Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Obsessed Malingerer" and another case from the section called Railroad Wives, "The Talkative Conductor's Wife".  little guy ™ 8/14/2013

MONDAY FUNNY TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK SENT IN BY A NEW ASSOCIATE-"Often times a man's friend is a reflection of the best parts of himself"- little guy

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old?  Well, you'll love this one!

My name is Alice Smith and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new Dentist.  I notice his Dental Diploma, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a Tall, Handsome, Dark Haired boy with the same name had been in my secondary school class some 30-odd years ago.  Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.  This balding, grey haired man with the deeply lined face was far too old to have been my classmate.  After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park Secondary School.  "Yes, yes I did.  I'm a Morganner!", he beamed with pride.

"When did you leave to go to College?" I asked.  He answered, "in 1965.  Why do you ask?"  "You were in my class!", I exclaimed.  He looked at me closely.  Then the ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, fat arsed, grey haired, decrepit, bastard asked, "What subject did you teach?"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR-"Often times a man's friend is a reflection of the best parts of himself"-little guy

The following article is popping up around the Internet, from The New Doctors.com to Social.Culture.Indian at Google, to Debate Politics.com, to the Minority Report and many more which few people read compared to an expose' by today's BIG-MEDIA.  The Author appears to either be a nom de plum or red herring.   However, this was a very fascinating read.  It is entitled, A Detailed List of Curious Coincidences in President Obama’s Life by Steve Foley, July 22, 2013 and follows:

A long detailed list of curious coincidences in Obama’s life, emailed anonymously to Ben Fulford:



Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama’s communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just happened to choose as his closest White House advisor, and who just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not to properly maintain the housing—which eventually just happened to require demolition.

Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the city of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle LaVaughan Robinson (later Mrs. Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernardine Dohrn also just happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a summer job.

Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married to William Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hidden from the FBI at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour, and Warden/al-Mansour just happened to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and al-Mansour just happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened to donate cash to Harvard, for which Obama just happened to get a critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton, who just happened to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm X when he traveled to Kenya.

Obama, Sr. just happened to have his education at the University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just happened to have been supported by Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happened to have been associated with the Nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan, who just happens to live very close to Obama’s Chicago mansion, which also just happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters for Malia and Natasha Obama, whose parents just happened to have no concern exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.

After attending Occidental College and Columbia University, where he just happened to have foreign Muslim roommates, Obama moved to Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul “the Red” Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, who just happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s thesis at Wellesley College, and Obama’s $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.

Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in the 1980s and just happened to work with leftist political groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI), through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just happened to be a former member of the SDS and a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke, and which just happened to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend of Obama’s political hatchet man, David Axelrod.

Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when Wright was at his “most enthusiastic,” and Obama just happened never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical, and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award.

Although no one had ever heard of him at the time, Obama just happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write while using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle, and despite his record of non-writing he just happened to receive a second advance, for $40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which Obama just happened never to see even though it appeared on newsstands throughout the city.

Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland, which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slumlord Valerie Jarrett, and the law firm’s Judson Miner just happened to have been a classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers.

In 1994 Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks (Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks, a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.

In 1996 Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined the “New Party,” which just happened to promote Marxism, and Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a socialist who just happened to support a government takeover of the health care system.

In late 1999 Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just happened to be the gay choir director of Obama’s Chicago church and who shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young just happened to be murdered on December 23, 2007, just weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, just happened to be murdered, and both murders just happened to have never been solved. In 2008 Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be the son of Joe Biden.

In 2003 Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of Rashid Khalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, and who Obama claims he does not know, even though the Obama's just happened to have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened to have used them as occasional baby-sitters. Obama reportedly praised Khalidi at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened to also attend, and the event Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers, and one speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel “will never see a day of peace,” and entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children’s dance whose performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama allegedly told the audience that “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis,” and the Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the event but just happens to refuse to make it public.

In the 2004 Illinois Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate, front-runner Blair Hull just happened to be forced out of the race after David Axelrod just happened to manage to get Hull’s sealed divorce records unsealed, which just happened to enable Obama to win the primary, so he could face popular Republican Jack Ryan, whose sealed child custody records from his divorce just happened to become unsealed, forcing Ryan to withdraw from the race, which just happened to enable the unqualified Obama to waltz into the U.S. Senate, where, after a mere 143 days of work, he just happened to decide he was qualified to run for President of the United States.

“Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society.” –Aristotle

Dear V,

When it comes to President Obama the voting public that thinks they understand him don't, those that admit they don't understand him do, and basically with his keen young wit, and uncanny speaking skills, this editor has stopped trying to analyze him any more, and in fact often ignores articles sent to me about him, and refrains any longer relative to editorials.  As likeable as he is, and with the Democrats spooning over his looks concomitant with the fact that he has little time left to convince anyone that he can unify "we the people", and prove a demonstrable working relationship with those that have opposing views (He just kicks their ass now and again), it is almost pointless.  Further, having supported him back in the day's when he was Senator, and long ago admitting I just wanted a President who would unite the Blue States and the Red states, and clearly Barack doesn't want to do that albeit his rhetoric sores, I have accepted him for what he is and can do, rather then trying to change him to the change lines he delivered so many years ago.  In other words this editor finds his rhetoric boring no matter high high it soars, because what he says and what he does appear at best, inconsistent.  And that messes with folks minds. 

Many folks today say "Oh my God, there he goes again", and become witnesses to who knows what?!  Why?  They get the situation rather then trying to analyze him or his speeches or his ways.  They are his ways, and that's that.  This editor must opine that "Often times a man's friend is a reflection of the best parts of himself", and this is what your submission defined for Barack's views, as I find you and yours, a reflection of the best parts of myself.

Antithetical to my opinions as referenced above, I found your submission wacky enough to be consistent in the who knows what the heck is going on with the Barack world, and thank you.  Don't you just long for the days when associates such as you and others lived in the times when what folks run on is what they believe, evidenced by what they said, so the voter knows what their going to do?  I guess honesty and straightforwardness, were expectations of simpler times.  However and again, this editor truly believes in the KISS principal, and when we break everything down, it would be better for our Republic to look for such folks, rather then the ideological drag folks which divide us, and as such make our nation weak visa vie the process of division, rather then unification which breeds strength.

Your article submission is fascinating, but to what end will we achieve much in the way of positive change.  We're not going to change Barack at this point, and the folks that lie to themselves because they have to support their guy, rather then finding ways which support "we the people" or both sides concomitantly, won't change since Barack can't run anymore, and they can't ever be wrong about anything. 

I feel the best part of the article is the quote by Aristotle.  How many times over the years has that quote appeared scrolling across our Academy (InfoJustice) Home page under Week End Words?  I counted 42, and as such, albeit Tolerance is part of working out problems, folks absent opinions which differ, stop the analytical process which progresses society.  Absent healthy debate assuming we automatically tolerate rather then sort out the best paths for our nation through rational and responsible analysis (That debate that goes on within the healthy mind working through deductive and inductive reasoning), I do believe Aristotle's wisdom is something to understand as an overriding principal to a healthy and thriving society.

Thanks ever so much for your most recent contribution, and this editor humbly appreciates our association and knows our readers will also find the coincidences or designs of what has transpired on the road Barack chose to walk on, as fascinating as we have.  Thanks again. little guy ™ 8/10/13

SKEPTICS CORNER - WELFARE FRAUD RAMPANT IN OUR NATION "Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" Benjamin Franklin

Here she is . . . The NEW 'Breadwinner' in the family! 

An Emergency room physician told me that a woman in her late 20's came to the ER today with her 8th pregnancy.  She told the first doctor she saw, "My Mama told me that, I am the bread winner for the family."  He asked her to explain.  She said that she can make Babies and babies get money from the State for the family.

The scam goes as follows:

The Grandma calls the Department of Child & Family Services, and states that the unemployed Daughter is not capable of caring for all her kids.  DCFS agrees, and tells her the children will need to go into 'FOSTER CARE."  The Grandma then volunteers to be THE FOSTER PARENT, and receives a check for $1500/Child, each Month.  In the Mid-West the total yearly income is a whopping $144,000 Tax-free and nobody HAS TO GO TO WORK!

In fact, they get more if there is no husband/father/man in the home!  Not to mention free healthcare (Medicaid), plus a Monthly Food card entitling them to free groceries.  And a voucher for 250 free phone minutes each month.  This does not include WIC and other Welfare benefits that they are "ENTITLED" TO.  Indeed, Grandma was correct that her fertile daughter is the "BREADWINNER" for the family. 

Folks, this is HOW the Politicians spend our tax dollars.  When this generous program was invented in the '60s, the great Society architects forgot to craft LENGTH OF TERM, OR ANY ENDING DATE!  And now we are hopelessly overrun with people who vote only for those who will continue to keep them on the dole...  No wonder our country is broke!  Worse, the Muslims have been paying attention, and by mandating that each Muslim family have eleven children, they will soon replace the voting block above and can be running this country within 25 years.

Read the above again, until it sinks in, and then ask yourself if your Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren will survive these severe changes to America!!!  Are you alarmed yet?  Is anybody listening?  Is this a Great Country or what?  Don't forget to pay your taxes!  There are a lot of "BREADWINNERS" depending on you!

WEEKEND WORDS FOR FRIDAY THE 9TH OF AUGUST 2013

Four rules of leadership in a free legislative body: First, no matter how hard-fought the issue, never get personal. Don't say or do anything that may come back to haunt you on another issue, another day.-Second, do your homework. You can't lead without knowing what you're talking about-Third, the American legislative process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not intimidate.-Fourth, be considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they're at the bottom of the totem pole....People ask the difference between a leader and a boss. The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert...If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch....if your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.  President George Bush, Theodore Roosevelt, Jesus Christ, John Quincy Adams

SKEPTICS CORNER -CREDIT CARD FRAUD RAMPANT IN LA Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas."  Benjamin Franklin "idiots to the end"

Just when you thought you have heard everything, make sure when you book a hotel room or motel room it is not some unheard of brand.  I had placed this up a couple days ago and then took it down to see if money was credited back and well, not only are there crooks out there to rip you off but their idiots to the end.  Why?  As you will see I was bait and switched into giving another Card and thus needed refunds on two cards.  But with one resolved this morning, I contacted the other Card company only to find the idiots cancelled the wrong transaction, in other words crediting the correct amount to one card, but cancelling a transition to the same card.  They cancelled the wrong card, but as I said to the Bank, its like you have two hands, and if they cancelled the first transition which did not need to be cancelled, but kept the second card as the one night stay (rather then the four nights I booked left the next morning), then the other hand calculation balances both hands.  The Credit Card Fraud occurred as follows:

Recently my fiancée gave up finding anything equivalent to what we have in the country side, called a Motel in Venus California and made reservations for a room for me while yours truly is investigating possibilities for long term employ.  They gave her a rate for the first week, but promised it would be less if we came back the next week (I was willing to book three months!).  Sounds good.  Suddenly after I sent her to pay for it, when I arrived, they told me that the card I gave her did not pay for my last night?  Since it was after working very hard, thus tired, I simply gave them another card and felt I would check the computer at work the next day to see where I went wrong. 

Suddenly at around 11:00 PM the front desk called to advise they had doubled billed me today and on my first card because my Fiancée made a direct reservation with them but also booked it with a on-line company nether of us had ever heard of.  I kindly advised that they refund the money into both cards but they told me it was against the law and they get to keep the money because of this now triple billing (Two cards double billed).  To their surprise I asked for the name of the on-line company and its phone number.  When I called at first they tried to claim Kathy did this, but when they discovered who I was credential wise, and knowing the AG's investigator could come around to visit them as I would make a consumer complaint using real law (Forensics folks, only forensics), they called the Motel claiming it was a scam where you book with the hotel and give them your email info, and then the hotel goes on line and books it again themselves to make it look like the visitor had done this.  Since I kept both parties on the phone and walked down to the front desk, I heard something like, "any one can file a consumer complaint and our company will never book any on-line bookings with your motel in the future if you do not refund all double billings"!  First the motel was to refund my money for the Bank card (This was clear fraud as they had told me the first Broker Card only paid for three days and was out of funds.  Yet the next day when I called Fidelity, they advised there was far over the amount necessary and thus a bait and switch to get another Card to bill which was again double billing by deceit had occurred).  Then, the next morning they refunded my second card according to my receipt although I will check this when it goes through to not only have them arrested if they don't for Credit Card Fraud, but will also bring the higher authorities around so they can hire an attorney and fight the law with costs which will probably bankrupt them (It seems some folks would rather wear an ankle GPS then be honest business persons!). 

I then had to dish the case off as my computer records (Simply looked at what sites visited that week which did not show that on line site had ever been contacted by my Fiancée') proved to my satisfaction that Kathy had never contacted the on-line booking company (The City should pay me big time for my services-As Pen Will Travel!) and case findings delivery in a timely manner were deemed mandatory rather then permissive.

Credit Card fraud is only the tip of the iceberg.  For now, the moral of the story is (It is also interesting to note there was not a Bible in the room, and indeed what was offered was evil.) if you go to Brentwood, Westwood, Santa Monica or Venus Beach California, or any of the non-brand Motels and Hotels around the nation be very careful.  Book your reservations at a top ranked Motel or Hotel as new types of fraud against "anyone that is good" are being invented and those folks are not so very bright.  They saw a Doctor and could not resist the temptation.  Two motels have now tried this and your humble editor has caught them both. 

Stay tuned for future editions of the Skeptics Corner (Come back this weekend for another new {New This Week} associate Peter'sfactual "real case", Mid West contribution to the Skeptics Corner on Certified Rip off artists).  Stay safe by staying informed, and keep reading the InfoJustice Journal. little guy ™ 8/9/13

A SPECIAL I'M BACK EDITION OF THURSDAY HUMOR TO GET YOU THROUGH LIFE

Doc,

As a former sailor I found this frightening, but sadly possible.  It is called "Future U.S. Navy" and the article follows:

The Department of Defense (DoD) is proud to announce a new fleet of Class 69
destroyers. Having initially named the first two ships USS Daring and USS Dauntless, the Naming Committee has, after intensive pressure from Congress, renamed them USS Cautious and USS Prudent.

The next five ships are to be USS Empathy, USS Circumspect, USS Nervous, USS
Timorous and USS Apologist.  Costing $850 million each they comply with the very latest employment,equality, health and safety and human rights laws.

The U.S. Navy fully expects any future enemy to be decent and to comply with  the same high standards of our behavior.  The viewer friendly stacks will be painted in the "gay pride" colors.

Live ammunition has been replaced with paintballs to reduce the risk of anyone getting hurt and to cut down on the number of compensation claims.

Stress counselors and lawyers will be on board, as well as a union representative for each of the trades on board.

The crew will be 50% men and women and will contain the correct balance of race, gender, sexuality and disability.

Sailors will only work a maximum of 40 hours per week as per union rules on working hours, and time and a half for overtime and double time on Sundays
and holidays, even in wartime.

All the vessels are equipped with a maternity ward and a gay disco. 

Tobacco will be banned throughout the ship, but recreational cannabis will
be allowed in wardrooms and messes.

Saluting of officers is now considered elitist and has been replaced by "Hi Sailor".

All information on notice boards will be in 37 different languages.  Crew members will now have permission to grow beards and/or mustaches. This applies equally to female crew. 

A majority of Senators have suggested a "non-specific" flag because the current "Stars and Stripes" may offend some Nations during port calls.

The newly re-named USS Cautious will be commissioned shortly by a Muslim cleric from the Washington DC Mosque who will detonate a small explosive device near the hull.

As she will gently slide into the sea the Marine Corps Band will play "In the Navy" by the Village People.

Her first deployment will be to escort boatloads of illegal immigrants to ports on the East coast. of the U.S.

The President said, "Our ships reflect the very latest in modern thinking and they will always be able to comply with any new legislation from the U.N."  His final words were, "I told you there would be "CHANGE!"  

Dear Retired Navy Associate,

Thanks for the email designed for our readers as it made coming home to the InfoJustice email box a blast; a nice home coming and personal thanks.  I also thought the joke is truly thought provoking!

Have a great weekend folks. little guy ™ 8/7/13

LETTER TO THE EDITOR -THIS IS THE MAN THAT KNOWS HIS JOB AND HOW TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE AND BARACK SAY'S HE MUST LEAVE

 Doc, did you know that "Mad Dog Mattis", our generations Patton is going into forced retirement just as world Terrorism is on the rise again?  Its true, and I knew we had to spread the word through the Academy no matter where folks may be stationed.  After 41 years of distinguished military service, the "most revered Marine in a generation" according to the Marine Corps Times is being forced out.    Gen. Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st marine Division into Iraq in 2003.  Clearly the man with the most knowledge of fighting terrorism and the man with the most experience. 

According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran.  Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and for the men and women of the armed forces, while his powerful words will go down in history.  Here are some of the best words that the “Mad Dog” has had to offer:
1. “I don’t lose any sleep at night over the potential for failure. I cannot even spell the word.”
2. “The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.”
3. “I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”
4. “Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”
5. “Marines don’t know how to spell the word defeat.”
6. “Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”
7. “The most important six inches on the battlefield is between your ears.”
8. “You are part of the world’s most feared and trusted force. Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.”
9. “There are hunters and there are victims.  By your discipline, cunning, obedience and alertness, you will decide if you are a hunter or a victim.”
10. “No war is over until the enemy says it’s over. We may think it over, we may declare it over, but in fact, the enemy gets a vote.”
11. “There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.”
12. “You cannot allow any of your people to avoid the brutal facts. If they start living in a dream world, it’s going to be bad.”
13. “You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil.  You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway.  So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.  Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know.  It’s a hell of a hoot.  It’s fun to shoot some people.  I’ll be right up there with you.  I like brawling.”
14. “I’m going to plead with you, do not cross us. Because if you do, the survivors will write about what we do here for 10,000 years.”
15. “Demonstrate to the world there is ‘No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy’ than a U.S. Marine.”
16. “Fight with a happy heart and strong spirit”
And one final quote for returning Veterans:
Anybody surprised Obama forced this guy to retire early?

Dear Valerio,

Yes, this editor is actually very disappointed.  While everyone else was raving about the political Generals we at least had the Generals General leading our forces.  With his absence this editor feels we will only be left with political appointed cronies, and well it appears a complete lack of wisdom to guide us especially for those old and experienced enough to know what wisdom is.  Sure today we have technicians running around thinking their the lords gift to us all, and yet when folks mature past that stage of the life, and enter into the stage where the pearls of wisdom simply roll off their lips daily and especially when it means keeping us all safe, this editor must opine that I feel a great disappointment in this entire affair. 

Guess what?  I loved Patton for what he was, and what he was able to achieve.  And folks, it turned out only six years later that he was spot on about Russia which is why we are faced with the same situation over and over again.  And now to get rid of the best of the best from out Military Leadership, is at this point consistent and par for the course.  American safety has taken a hard hit and I know our associates around the globe will feel disappointed as well.  Thanks' for your letter, I am proud of your new association with the Academy. little guy ™ 8/6/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THAT MAY MAKE YOU PUKE

Doc help?

Watch the clip before you delete it out of anger.  When will the sheep start to listen!!!
Well comrades – Welcome to Socialism aka Communism.

CHINESE CHEVROLET Now That GM is Removing Camaro Production From Oshawa …….Thought of Buying a GM Car Lately?  This will make you sick.
Why haven't we heard this on the nightly news ????  Well I know "we the people" can always count on you Doc, so please let the voters know.

Dear Associate,

Thank you so much for your letter.  I can only help with my prototypical actions of  emulating one of our founding fathers,  Paul Revere.  And to that end, readers, make up your own minds and of course please hit play now!

I know my Republican, Democrat, Libertarian and Independent readers will be outraged.  Why?  We bailed out China and also gave them the farm of cutting edge technology for transportation while selling Detroit out.  How?  After the bailout, 7 out of every 10 vehicles made by GM are made outside America and mostly in Communist China.  Disgraceful folks.  Lets votes wisely in future elections folks.  It is time for wisdom over party or ideology. little guy ™ 8/5/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CALLED INSIGHT INTO THE UNAFFORDABLE CARE ACT

Dear Dr. Neff ,

The following is "2700 Pages of the new anti-Health Care Act summed up in 1 page called Dumbo Care by one of our finest business minds, Donald Trump. 

Trump advised, "Let me get this straight".  "We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more folks, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman just admitted he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!"

"What the hell could possibly go wrong?"

Dear Wyoming,

Many many folks are asking the same questions.  After looking at this for quite some time, if the President would have developed a single payer system for the poor which included the egregious auto carriers as well (Lets say you get injured by someone who is clearly at fault and broke the law, yet their Insurance Carrier attacks the victim causing them to be victimized again in the defense or all that is wrong in our nation-that does not make any sense?  Of course not!), and left the rest of the system alone, we at least would have had a model which we could study and determine its benefits and faults.  Much like double blind studies in medicine.  But what we do know is we took a bunch of democrat only senators with little in the way of knowledge in such matters who created a monstrosity with hundreds of mouths, thousands of hands and tentacles, with enforcement powers which in truth only added stress to a nation trying to recover from the multipronged effect of Terrorism causing folks to make financial mistakes which perhaps would never had been made absent the Terrorist stress.  What a mess.

Thank you for contributing to the Journal and look forward to speaking with you soon. little guy ™ 8/5/13

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK EIGHTEEN

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED INTERESTING CASES AND INCIDENTS

NOT A HAPPY CAMPER

A 28 year old brakeman was working on a switching crew in the yard at El Centro, California and was walking along the train checking handbrakes on the cars.  Another train was northbound with cars picked up at the Mexican border and was on an adjacent track.  One of the cars had a plug door handle projecting out and not latched.  A plug door on a boxcar is on the side of the car and is opened by moving the lever from the latch to a position perpendicular to the car.  The door then projects out from the car and the worker can slide it open or shut parallel to the car.  If the handle is not latched it will project out perpendicular to the car, as it was in this very instance.

As the car rolled by the brakeman at approximately 3 miles per hour he did not see ht plug door handle, and it struck him in the back and knocked him to the ground.

He started treatment for neck and back injuries and retained an attorney from a large firm in San Francisco, which was known to represent many injured railroad employees from the company.

The attorney filed a FELA lawsuit in the Imperial County Court House in El Centro.  This was rather strange at the Imperial County residents are mostly a working class people, and a lot of them rely heavily upon the railroad as a part of their economic livelihood.  These people are known to be very conservative in their jury awards, particularly as compared to San Francisco and Los Angeles where much larger verdicts are the norm.  The plaintiff attorney could have filed in either of these venues.

During the period of time the brakeman was disabled we placed surveillance on him and learned that he had bought a new camper, trailer and boat and was thoroughly enjoying these toys.  We found that he had financed all of this assuming he would pay them off with the money from a large verdict.

The case proceeded to trial in the rural setting.  The railroad hired a local defense attorney to represent them.  When the jury panel came in he already knew at least half of them from living in the county.  The plaintiff attorney was used to big city courtrooms and acted that way.

One day during a recess, the husband and daughter of a lady juror came by to observe the trial.  The little girl went over to the coke machine and before she could put any change in it, the plaintiff attorney ran over to put the coins in the machine and handed the little girl the coke with an oily smile on his face.  The defense attorney advised the judge of this and mentioned that it appeared that the plaintiff attorney was trying to buy one of the jurors.  The judge promptly called this attorney into his chambers and read him the riot act and advised him that he may act in that manner in San Francisco but he was not about to do it in El Centro, and if there was anymore of this type of activity he would have him arrested.

The brakeman testified that he was completely disabled for eight months and had a wage loss of $20,000.  During the defense portion of the case we showed the film of his activities with the camper, trailer and boat to the jury.  When the jury went out to deliberate, they were only gone approximately one hour and brought back a verdict of $20,000, awarding nothing for pain and suffering.  I later learned that the brakeman had to return all these new toys, as he was unable to make the payments.

RAILROAD WIVES

THE FRESNO FRYING PAN

This case involved a 64 year old Hispanic track laborer who had been injured and was represented by an attorney that I frequently dealt with.  The attorney agreed to produce him for a witness statement and I appeared at his office at the designated time.  The injured employee's wife accompanied him to the recording of his statement.  She was extremely polite and what I would term a very nice person.  When we went into the room for the statement there were not enough chairs and she tried to give me her chair to sit in.  I told her this was not necessary and got an additional chair from another office.

After the statement was completed she told me that the next time I was in Fresno where they lived, she wanted me to stop by their house for dinner.  She did not know that this is absolutely not allowed due to legal ethics as long as an attorney represents them, but I politely thanked her.  She also knew that I would be discussing settlement in this matter with her husband's attorney.

After the husband and wife left the room, the attorney and I had a general discussion of the case.  This when he advised me that the wife had quite a reputation in Fresno.  Apparently she had been out in her garden one afternoon and a mad man came running down the street and ran into her yard and chased her into her house.  She was waiting inside the house for him with a large metal frying pan, which she used to strike him on the head and knock him out.  Then she called the place and upon their arrival at the house she was standing over this man who was still unconscious, with the frying pain in her hand.  The case later settled but I never did go to their home for dinner.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "The Vindictive Girlfriend" and one case from the section called The Lubricated Railroad Lawyer called, "The Structured Settlement".  little guy ™ 8-3-13

Although I will be away from the InfoJustice Journal for what ever period of time it takes for me to recover from my horrible concussion and become situated with my new line of work if it is ordained and if time allows, this weekend I will try to leave you with at least another episode from Tales of the Rails-Railroad Claim Stories by past Academy President, Stormin Normin Udewitz.  Enjoy President Bush and are own Secret Services' James Bond, and G-d Bless. little guy ™ 8/2/13

SKEPTICS CORNER AND AWAY FROM THE WEB

This editor apologizes but the move to LA county has been much harder then anticipated.  It is perfectly clear that Caveat Emptor (LET THE BUYER BEWARE) has again become the standard years after this Fraud Examiner thought we had it on the run.

If you are coming to LA and wish to either rent an apartment or a Hotel Room, unless you are prepared to pay 3-5,000/month lease or $150 per night Hotel, when you use the internet, what the respective websites show you is nothing like what you will see when you arrive.

Scheduling 20-25 Condo and Apartment leasing appointments upon arrival and inspection it was discovered even with new carpeting, most places were filthy around the edges of the carpeting, paint over dirt was noted repeatedly, most had tiny bedrooms, the majority didn't have Refrigerators (Sold mine from storage perhaps 7 months ago), the appliances were not first rate, and the look on the face of your significant other would tell you to leave and I mean pronto.  The entire internet apartment/condo leasing is a fraud.  Prices were even different on at least 8 occasions, and for $2,000 you begin to see apartments or condos you would have staid in when you first went off for Medical School or Chiropractic School and the like.  In other words what was $350 not that many years ago, is $2000.00 for the same quality and life style, and the folks you see residing outside, smoking cigarettes or what ever, gives you a feeling that you must remove yourself from all the filth.

Even Hotel hunting for stays while you find your home if your in that situation is (You do not want to get up a 4:00 a.m. to make it by 8:00 a.m. fighting massive traffic knowing eventually you could become tired and not the best you can be which is unacceptable in the care of folks)  bleak.  Almost none of the prices noted on the internet are what you will receive when you show up and in many cases until you call.  We had cases albeit only a couple where the price changed from what the internet said to what the manager said when we called only to find a third price change when we arrived for a tour/inspection.  Many Hotels in LA want you to share a bathroom if your under the $150.00 mark.  Really!  Carry your shaver, your toothbrush, and the rest of the accouterments to and from the bathroom and the lord only knows who the other person would be?   Disgusting.  Yuck.  Thus, the web for LA leasing or renting is a farce in MOST CASES experienced, and be prepared to inspect the folks you may speak with about a rental or a lease.

Finally, this week after accepting a trial offer for employ, unfortunately, I will be away from the InfoJustice Journal for the next five days working and living in a Hotel, while my Fiancé finds a place which would be suitable for us to live in (Up to her standards-in my mind she must be happy).  Hopefully sooner rather then later, this editor will be back to serve the needs of the folks who also have been ripped off.

Excited to begin a new and very different work in a Medical Group then I have done perhaps since the nineties albeit cutting edge technologies and science have taken the hopes for the future, to the present, when I settle in, this editor will invite you all to visit our offices if you have the problems we specialize in, and will bring you up to snuff again about what folks just like you are feeling from Wyoming to Florida, New York to New Mexico, from Texas to Minnesota, from California to Nebraska, and from Arizona to Alaska etc., as well as further editions of great fun from Tales of the Rails-Railroad Claims stories, to reviews of various cutting edge sciences which make up today's medical (both Orthodox and Complementary - Health Care Sciences and techniques) amalgam, our Important Medical and Science Folks in Time Series (Entering its 16th year) etc., as well as my humble commentary and articles.

Until then, may you all have a happy, healthy and prosperous life experience.   Bye for now. little guy ™ 7/28/13

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK EIGHTEEN

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED OTHER INTERESTING AND HUMOROUS CASES AND INCIDENTS

ONLY TWO BEERS

The railroad was upgrading crossing protection to signals and gates at a major intersection in Anaheim California and at the end of the first days work had left the area with only the bases of the signals mounted in the cement.  They had also tacked a metal crossing sign to a telephone pole adjacent to the crossing, but there were no flashing lights whatever at the crossing, at the crossing at the end of the day.

An aerospace engineer had gotten off work at 5:00 P.M. from his job, which was located within one mile of the crossing.  At 8:00 P.M. he was driving down the street and drove in front of a freight train, which struck his vehicle.  This was prior to the time when seat belts were installed in vehicles, and he was propelled forward with his head going through the windshield of the vehicle, and almost biting his tongue off.  The investigating police officer noted in his report that he smelled alcohol on the driver's breath.  The driver retained an attorney who filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Superior Court.

During my investigation of the case I found an elderly lady who lived adjacent to the tracks, and she gave a statement advising that the train whistle was so loud as it passed her home that the noise drowned out her favorite television program.  The case started trial and the plaintiff testified that he had heard no whistle or bell from the train.  He also testified that he had stopped at a bar with some co-workers for only two beers after work and was on his way home when the accident happened.

I subpoenaed the lady witness to come to court and was happily surprised when she appeared accompanied by her son who was a uniformed police officer.  Her testimony about hearing the loud whistle was well received by the jury.

In addition, while the plaintiff was on the stand I went over to the court clerk's office and learned that the plaintiff's wife had sued him for divorce prior to this railroad accident, but had then dropped the case.  However, in the file I learned that she had complained that her husband drank heavily, sometimes to the point of almost using up his entire paycheck.

I had a certified copy made of this file and went back into the courtroom and handed it to the defense attorney who quickly read the spouse's allegations of her husband's drinking.  The defense attorney had started to question the plaintiff about this and he blurted out that it came about when he had returned form Hawaii and had gone to a drinking party.  His lawyer jumped-up and told him to stop volunteering answers to questions which had not been asked.

The jury deliberated in this case for 30 minutes and returned with a defense verdict.

THE VIBRATING VAGINA

A 27 year old lady was employed as a laborer at the Los Angeles Diesel Repair Facility.  She reported to her foreman that she had been having an itching sensation accompanied by twitching in her vagina for several days and that she was sure the cause of this was an injury on the job.  She was unable to pinpoint the event of injury, but stated that it had to have been from various lifting and pulling activates that she was required to perform on the job.

She further stated that she had taken hot baths and had sex with her boyfriend, neither of which alleviated the itching and twitching.  She also stated that she had been to a doctor who diagnosed her problem as a groin strain.

After several days she returned to work and advised she was much better.  She then presented a claim, which was declined.  She advised she would seek the services of an attorney to represent her in the claim.  I do know that she talked to at least two different attorneys about her claim.  Neither of them wanted to waste time representing her in a claim of no value, and she then dropped any further pursuit of a settlement.   Stormin Norman Udewitz  

Editors Note: Folks, "you just can't make this stuff up"!

Come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons.  Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts.  You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters.  Next Week, one case from the section called Cases and Incidents, "Not a Happy Camper" and one case from the section called Railroad Wives, "The Fresno Frying Pan".  little guy ™ 7-25-13

NOTE TO ASSOCIATES

Hold those emails for a couple days as I am off to "Work/Hotel it" in Expensive Older West LA for two days to determine if this examiner gels with a possible new more medically oriented employ (Employers side) staff, and see if the high costs of Rent, "massive traffic" with of course a bit better pay and better more medically oriented work environment are in the cards or stay in my  Riverside environment (slower pace, low traffic on the streets, affordable and brand spanking new setting).

Also please find two new additions to the Journal's internet educational articles, one the Physics of Radiology (Found on our Academy Library for Forensic Human Biomechanics practitioners) and 6 pictures were added to my on-line short course on Lymphophatic Technique (These pictures were drawn by a well renowned artist especially contracted for my Published version of the article for JACA).  Let me know if you think I should add back my articles on diagnosing and treating/BEATING Obesity, Hypertension and Diabetes as well as my two lectures on Stroke and the Surgical Theater etiquette, the most common conditions presenting for a Surgical Theater, determining Fluid requirements during and after surgery (How to calculate MATHEMATICALLY AND THE DIFFERENT FORMULAS etc) or any of my other articles.  When I am back you will find my next edition of Tales of the Rails, Railroad Claim Stories. little guy ™ 7/21/2013

HEMOC CORNER

A 10 year old African American male has back and lower extremity pain with a past history of several episodes.  Physical examination demonstrates that his sclerae are yellow.  His Lab report shows his Hemoglobin his 6.7 mg/dl (Normal is 11-13 mg/dl).  Histopathologic evaluation of his spleen would demonstrate?

1.  Atrophy.

Sickle Cell Autosomal Recessive Disease is a hemolytic anemia with repeat splenic infarctions which leads to splenic atrophy or asplenia by age 8.  This predisposes these children to repeat infections with encapsulated bacteria. 

Hemoglobin electrophoresis performed is consistent with Sickle Cell (hemoglobin SS) and our patient denies taking medications at home.  A marked macrocytosis in this patient suggests?

2.  Folic acid deficiency as classic cases of megaloblastic anemia are Folic Acid and B12 deficiencies.  Sickle Cell patients and other's with hemolytic anemia's are predisposed to Folic Acid deficiency because of increased erythrocyte turnover.

Fun.  Come back next week and if there is time, this editor will continue our probe into the fascinating sciences of Hematology and Oncology. little guy ™ 7/19/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Dr. Neff,

Before forwarding this I wanted you to know that Snopes and Truth or Fiction has verified this letter as true and both sites confirmed that Cynthia Myers was interviewed by Fox News yet no one seems to have picked the story up.  To say the least it is an eye-opener.  Cynthia is sharing the truth on what happened to our Libyan Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 heroes who died needlessly on 9 11 13.  Please circulate this story.  Thanks.

"Here is my story.  A week out the Embassy in Tripoli began receiving multiple tips about an Al Queda cell in the area planning an attack on 9/11 in response to the killing of Bin Laden.  For the next several days, the State Dept and White House were asked for a security force and were denied at least six times.  Ambassador Stevens and his team were given the all clear that The Consulate in Benghazi was safe and there was no need for a security force other than his 3 personal guards (One being my cousin) and a few Libyans who were not armed.

Then the attack and murders occurred.  Immediately the White House claimed it was a protest gone bad over a you tube video.  Obama made a quick speech in the Rose Garden on Sept.12 before catching a plane to Vegas to campaign.  He made a generic statement at the end of his speech after placing the blame on an overheated protest over the video.  He said "No act of terror will shake the resolve of America".

Later that day and over the next 2 days, the media began saying Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 men died of smoke inhalation.  This was not the case.  Out of respect for my cousin, I'm not going to be specific about his murder.

However Ambassador Stevens was brutally murdered.  His genitals were cut off, he was sodomized and beaten and cut and stabbed and burned.  He was dragged thru the streets and left for dead. This is eyewitness testimony of a local Dr. who found the Ambassador in a ditch and tried to save his life.  He had no idea who he was. The other 3 men, including my cousin, met similar fates.

And deaths due to smoke inhalation is a 100% fabricated LIE.  The next week I drove my aunt and Uncle and 2 others to DC to receive his body.  We met with Hillary, Panetta, and Susan Rice. ALL of whom apologized and said it was a protest gone bad over a video and exited the area.  Next Obama entered with the same story and didn't apologize and wasn't sympathetic.

My aunt cried to this man and all he did was hand her flowers and walk away.  I tried to get his attention, but didn't. I got upset and yelled liar to him, he kept walking.  Then a secret service agent grabbed my arm and led me to a room where I was held till the proceedings were over!

America, I saw firsthand how cold this man is.  What kind of liar he is.  Most of you haven't a clue about this tyrant and yet you support him and act like every word he says is Gospel.  These murders and the fast and furious cover ups make Watergate look like, a kid who told his bff's secret to the class.  We must stop this man, and please pass this story along."

Dear Cynthia,

I don't know if you will read this or not, but you must read past issues where this editor finds it unacceptable for any elected or appointed officials to look into the eyes of bereaved folks and then lie to them about the cause of their loved ones death BECAUSE OF POLITICAL EXPEDIENCE NO MATTER IF IT IS TO GET REELECTED OR TO SECURE ANOTHER ELECTION RUN AT SOME FUTURE TIME.  Your story has touched my heart and I must again thank my associates in Wyoming for sending this letter.  My heart greaves for you and yours, and hope you know there are honest god-fearing folks in the nation, who do stand up for the truth, albeit in my experiences of late, honest folks are hard to find. 

Thus out of experiences such as "ours", this editor opines society needs folks like you and this editor will stand with you for truth, justice and American Idealism, and know my associates will help you stand strong when it comes to consumer protection or the protection of the innocent and "all that are good".  Have faith, the truth finds a way of coming out eventually. little guy ™ 7/19/13

FROM THE SECTION CALLED OTHER INTERESTING AND HUMOROUS CASES AND INCIDENTS

MATAGORDA COUNTY, TEXAS

In Texas some of the rural counties have a "good old boy system" for electing judges.  In Matagorda County the judge must be in the favor of the labor unions and the plaintiff attorneys in order to be elected.  Also in Texas there is a law that provides that a person claiming injury can sue a corporation that he alleges is responsible for the injury in any county in he state in which the corporation does business.

Many railroad employees injured in Texas were filing their lawsuits in Matagorda County and receiving large verdicts.  I recall one example that involved a non-operated back, in which the employee returned to work and the verdict was $800,000.

Because the railroad could not continue to pay this type of verdict, they had to pull up all their tracks in the county and construct new tracks around it.  This finally ended the Matagorda County cases, the railroad tax, and other revenues to that county.  It was a drastic but sure solution to an expanding problem.

THE PATERNITY SUIT

The railroad owned a trucking company whose main business was delivering new automobiles to dealers.  One of the truck drivers was involved in a very minor rear end collision with a 24 year old lady driving an automobile.

In addition to claiming whiplash like injuries of the neck and back strains, this lady also alleged that she had become pregnant.  It seems that she had spent the afternoon at a motel with her paramour and when she was driving down the street she had failed to remove the condom, which carried a dosage of sperm.  She claimed that upon the impact the condom broke and she was impregnated. 

She had retained an attorney and filed a lawsuit, and when the pregnancy claim came out in her deposition her own lawyer looked at her with utter amazement on his face.  Shortly thereafter, this case was settled for a nuisance value for her neck and back strains.  The railroad did not have to pay child support.   Stormin Norman Udewitz

21 YEAR OLD YOUTH FOUND IN A BAG IN MANHATTAN BEACH

Well, this time it was a so called "white Hispanic", killed suspiciously and dumped off in Manhattan Beach in a bag.  And folks to hear his wife cry just breaks the heart.  Antithetical to the point but to continue should anyone have information please contact the L.A. County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.  Whistleblowers or anonymous Tipsters please contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 22-TIPS, or online at website http://lacrimestoppers.org.

Folks the blind alleged Conservatives who are anything but conservative have been championing the issue that you can kill someone if he is more a man's man then such talking heads, and because your losing a prototypical street fight, the loser who should have known better then to get into an obvious situation which could cause a fight, and especially if you are the instigator, gets to kill someone in cold blood.  Kind of sounds like crazed executioners from the Spanish Inquisition!  Indeed.

Let's review:  Trayvon would have been ticketed with assault, and wimpy though a combination of stalking and confrontational George should then get Man Slaughter.  You see many on Fox and Rush himself have fallen into the group of liberals.  They usually are involved in these types of situations, defending the trouble maker.  And to listen to Hannity, it was ground and pound (something any two brothers in history did horsing around as children), and a broken nose, like in Hockey, and scrapes on the bottom of the head equal the right to kill someone!  That's CRAZY FOLKS!

Well they are blind on this one because they can't ever compromise.  And this time, many many folks are seeing a tad of coldness, and almost a snotty or above it all attitude.  And to listen to Georges lawyers, why George wasn't the angry one and on and on!  No S Sherlock, George interfered with a teenagers slow walk home in the rain so he could talk to a potential lady friend of some kind, perceived he was being chased, had to act like a man in front of his lady friend when attacked by the now trained in Martial Arts George Zimmerman, which they deny but its true, and well no matter how you put it, Trayvon should not be dead.  And Zimmerman's lawyers HYPOCRISY KNEW NO BOUNDS AS THEY PORTRAYED GROUND AND POUND OF ZIMMERMAN HORRIBLY VIOLENT BUT Shooting A GUN AND KILLING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING the way Zimmerman did " WAS VERY MATTER OF FACT", as if it is the norm for fist fights; outrageous and horrible.   True hypocrisy for personal gain and profit would be my opinion.

Thus, on and on the murderers will go, more often, in more areas until the time "we the people" can come back to the precepts of neighborhoods making cities, making counties and so forth as set forth by our founding fathers.  The Martin/Zimmerman trial is over, but the damage done and the image taught to our nations youth and the wayward by those on Fox and Rush, have hurt the cause of peace.  Perhaps my beef in a nutshell is someone is dead and wound not be if Zimmerman would have listened to the 911 operator (Makes me think they met at an intersection, and maybe Trayvon gave him the finger...something's wrong, it doesn't add up), the death would not have happened and the bizarre trial would never have happened. 

It was as if the prosecutors had their hands tied to a losing case which reframed would have been a shoe in win.  Zimmerman would at the very least gotten probation and lost the right to carry a gun for x-period of time, as a reminder that he created and then was a part of a Murder Death Kill as it is called in the Demolition man.  But the case was apparently told from powers outside of the District Attorney's office to file a Murder Case rather, then a death with malice aforethought –  a deliberate and premeditated killing of another motivated by ill will. 

Lets look again.  Let say Trayvon did kick the now Jujitsu trained Zimmerman's butt, and no matter what, Zimmerman ended up on the bottom end of the very training he had which makes one think Zimmerman started it, but Trayvon knew the same basic moves, flipped him around bringing him on top and was successful at what Zimmerman was trained at.  This at least makes sense and would be consistent. 

Pay attention!   Zimmerman, realizing he was losing and upset about it and now released because Trayvon realized he won, I must opine used malice aforethought as his motivation was to win since he lost in a field he was trained in and pulled out his concealed weapon and shot Trayvon dead.  If this argument had been made rather then the nonsense of Trayvon being on the bottom, and the very whippy yells for help; they were wimpy almost fake sounding to me which is why folks had a difficult time telling who it was, and that's consistent as the weird screams were an attempt to create a situation to kill someone; folks would have viewed the entire situation in a different light.  And with Zimmerman's crack albeit very unlikeable almost not believable swishy washy council (overly feminine I thought), Zimmerman would have gotten things reduced but he would have had something.  At the very least probation, loss of the gun permit and so forth. 

But THE TRIAL IS OVER, and the nation is divided on the issue of Justice.  However that's been the case lately such as the Supreme Court creative craziness relative to Obamacare.  Folks don't always agree with the outcome.  And if some want to protest, it should have been peaceful because the kids I saw running down the streets of LA, on top of cars, pulling down fences and the like, are low level law breakers and should have been stopped so their parents could pay for the damages. 

Folks many believe someone got away with some bad stuff, and this tells them that its ok to carry a gun, and ok to shoot.  It tells those that are lost to get even with someone for revenge or something horribly corrupt and the end result is often a 21 year old, left in the trash behind a home in a garbage bag.  And in some of the most affluent neighborhoods of our Republic. 

Its time we stand together against Murder, which is why boxing and the sports were developed originally.  It gave guy's a way to vent legally.  And that is what we should spend money on, taking kids and give them in school training on how to defend themselves, and to compete in real contests and not the contest the talking heads lie to themselves about, so folks learn that even the winner of a good fight has a sore fist, a sore knuckle, sometimes dislocate a finger in some accidental way, and thus, learn WISDOM which then puts everything in perspective and leads to a healthy, happy, and safe society based on experience and knowledge which has translated into a national wisdom.

Finally, all this talk about the Zimmerman get away has taken everyone's minds off the horrible problems facing our nation.  Unemployment and too low pay causes folks that could contribute to society to acquire too much time on their hands, and too poor to help themselves intellectually, join the gangs on the south side of Chicago, in causing potentially good kids to join the gangs in most metropolitan cities or simply wild kids, running through the streets of LA. 

The scandals disappeared but were not solved (Thus we will repeat them again), the border fence issue was tabled, and truly, the conservatives fighting this fight which seems cold in the face of death and cowardly in the face of a men's activities (Dignity, Honor, the Queensberry rules) has caused the folks to be more stirred up then if all their gloating on the right would have never taken place.  They just don't know how to let a dead dog lie.  And it is their over defense and arrogance at the death of human being who had the right to live for the eternals sake, that caused further obstacles in debating the important issues of our times.  And again, has thrown fuel to the fire of juvenile and young adult violence (Guns, Knives, and weapons which kill rather then a few cuts and bruises from men standing their ground, when wrongfully accused and wrongfully attacked as poor and in fact innocent in this matter, Trayvon Martin, may he rest in peace).

Let me introduce you to my uncle, one such man great man, (For large print thus easier to read hit this link) who took in those day's Black (Not Afro-American) kids off the streets and turned them into championship boxers, as well as Children whose families died fighting the NAZI's in Europe during WWII.  As you will see above my Uncle was not only the heavy weight champion of the Marine Core during WWII (When men were men-this is the one who taught me how to shoot and had one of the largest gun collections in the nation-sold his rifle collection to Chuck Connors, taught me how to Box and Judo before my brother and I went off to learn Judo, Jujitsu, and Karate-I was Six years old when I began studying the arts-and today my brother has 14 different styles Black Belts-that's knowledge!), took in two WWII refuges and turned them both into Golden Glove Champions of Minnesota, and truly too much more.  Read the article above, get a clue about how we can help society from someone who changed then inner-city St. Paul, Selby Dale area into a heaven for Boxing at the North West Gym.  Why he had a fellow who went six rounds with Sunny Liston in New York's Garden, and only lost from a sixth round suckers punch with Mohamed Ali in the audience watching every move.  When Mohamed saw Big Jim Beatty dance and jab just the way my uncle taught him, he came back to defeat Sunny Liston for his first World Championship with much the same techniques save Mohamed was a honed solid athlete for his times.

My uncle also had numerous military plaques signed by presidents for his being a Marine Fighter Pilot and truly too much more.   Folks we must teach our children to respect the Doctor, the Lawyer, the Indian Chief, their elders, our Soldiers, and first and foremost respect for themselves because they learned wisdom, and it often takes learning the history of the martial arts, boxing, wrestling, track and field, foot ball, baseball, SCHOOL and the like, to change the children into the very best that they can be.  And such actions stop the killings. little guy ™ 7/17/13

MONDAY FUNNY TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK

The Pope went on vacation for a few days to visit the rugged mountains of
Wyoming.  He was cruising along the campground in the 'Popemobile' when he
heard a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.  He found a helpless
Democrat wearing shorts, sandals, a Register all Guns hat and a Save the
Trees shirt. The man was screaming and struggling frantically, thrashing all
about and trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly bear.

As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers wearing Tea
Party shirts came racing up. One quickly fired a .44 magnum slug right into
the bear's chest. The two other men pulled the semiconscious Democrat from
the bear's grasp. Then using baseball bats, the three loggers finished off
the bear. Two of the men dragged the dead grizzly onto the bed of their
pickup truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the
back seat.

As they began to leave, the Pope summoned all of them over to him. "I give
you my blessing for your brave actions!" he proudly proclaimed. "I have
heard there was bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic
environmental activists, but now I've seen with my own eyes that this is not
true."

As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies, "Who the hell was that
guy?"  "Dude, that was the Pope," another replied. "He's in direct contact
with Heaven and has access to all wisdom."

"Well," the logger said, "he may have access to all wisdom, but he don't

THE NATION HAS CHANGED AND ZIMMERMAN'S FREEDOM IS A SIGN OF OUR TIMES Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." 

Come senators, congressmen, Please heed the call , Don't stand in the doorway, Don't block up the hall, For he that gets hurt, Will be he who has stalled, There's a battle outside , And it is ragin'  It'll soon shake your windows, And rattle your walls, For the times they are a-changin'. -Dylan. 

Well folks, when this editor was young, if someone got a broken nose in a fight, the back of his head became scratched, and then shot the winner especially when only one of the combatants was packing, it would be excessive force and murder.  The message for future wrongdoers is that if someone has in their minds eye they were afraid they might be killed, and we can't read minds folks, there could be a new ploy which could be used in the Murder of folks in states with laws similar to Florida.   Why someone could go out, look for trouble because they were in a crazy mood, shot someone and advise they were afraid they were going to be killed!   Everything is upside down and society clings for folks they can relate to which is divisive to the nation, rather then standing together on common sense.  It is as if the rules of the old west are in vogue proving very little sophistication as a society. 

In my article below it was made clear George Zimmerman would get off, the right was happy and the left was getting worried.  So shazam, the article was written as someone had to tell the truth, even though it would be unpopular for a white author to do so.  My lady friend stated that if it were her, meaning she was in Zimmerman's place she would have to shoot the guy beating her up.  She is happy for George.  However, unless she was being robed which Trayvon never did, or Trayvon or someone like him were stalking her it would be very different.  Thus I likened Georges actions to that of a someone of the fairer sex as sexist as it sounds.  And from this realization and knowing the make up of the Jury, it was more likely then not that George would get off.  Let us hope, he never puts himself in that position again.

But that is the point.  Trayvon did not put himself in any position to hurt anyone.  When his sense perceived he was being followed in the dark, around corners and around houses on his way home, one can only imagining the terror he felt.  Only someone blinded by politics or race (White folks needed a win as they have been losing as a group under Obama and wellllllllllll, folks are clinging in groups rather then through shared common sense for the common good), could not place themselves in Trayvon's shoes.  However what this author has, is my belief in the lord most high, and would feel like a hypocrite if these things were not pointed out.  The court needed to send a signal on what the taking of ones life means.  But it couldn't.  Society since 911 of this year, when we realized how unsafe we are after all this time since the original 911, has made folks callous to what made this nation great.  And absent those strong beliefs in conscience, good will, understanding, and doing what is best for the whole rather then what's best for the Black contingency, the White contingency, the far far left liberal contingency and so forth, all proves the system the founding fathers put in place has been abused.  Clearly Barack lectures about anti-Founding Father building blocks of our nation, but forgot that although the system wasn't perfect, it brought forth through time equaling rights for everyone.  Yet it has been five years of getting back at the folks Barack and his folks think are the bad guys and helping folks this nation thought were the bad guys prior to his election.

Yes, with revenge, drones, and endless violence from the Terrorists and against the Terrorists, setting folks free who stood in front of polling places to chase away the crackers and so forth, change our institutional colors from Red, White and Blue to Black such as our justice department colors, government agencies targeting groups of the other party and perhaps fixing elections, abandoning affirmations which allowed Benghazi to occur and then of course lazily not send help, all is much like the George and Trayvon event, with the thinking surrounding the case from both sides similar to that which leads our nation.

We need to elect someone who at least can act like they are a red blooded American patriot, and who could fire up the patriotism in both parties enough, to supersede the selfish way's of our times. Trayvon should not be dead, and George should have gotten something for his act other they being set free.  But from the onset, because this was a test case as it had not come up before, the absence of forethought on such matters, left little for the Prosecution to hang their hats on.  But then they were forced into action by racial tension which again did not get the case off on the right foot.

Trayvon should have been portrayed from day one as a non-color individual, walking home in the rain with his hood up to cover his head and in the dark.  George should have been portrayed as an overzealous at best neighborhood watch person, who got personally involved with Trayvon which he should not have done.  He acted like he was doing the Police's job for them.  Further, from day one the Prosecution should have portrayed Trayvon as the one on top, and the one winning the confrontation when he was shot.  IF TRAYVON KNEW GEORGE WAS PACKING DO YOU REALLY THINK THINGS WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT THE WAY THEY DID?  No, it was a concealed weapon, a surprise power that George had in reserve should his overzealous ways get him in trouble.  And he was not a police officer.  He pursued trouble, and he made trouble.  THIS IS ANTITHETICAL FOR THE MESSAGE OF WEST SIDE STORY, a play I was in as a teenager (Man I can still sing Maria as I did as a lad, but the point is walking in the wrong neighborhood, and being shot to death for being innocent of any crimes but self defense absent any quality defender, and for somehow being conceived as different, albeit we all walk on two legs, we all have one mouth and two eyes, but brains, that's questionable).  Thus the Zimmerman/Martin horror is simply and old story guised in new costumes.

Again George should at best have followed Trayvon home and then reported what he found if he were to follow Trayvon.  But he made his presence known to Trayvon, and who is George to walk up and challenge Trayvon in the dark on a particularly dark night due to the rain clouds concomitant with the rain poring down, for walking through the neighborhood?  King George?  And as it turns out Trayvon was returning to the home he had left from only minutes earlier to get some candy.

Well the point is we are heading down a slippery slope once we abandon the Ten Commandments, and the rest of the basic tenants which made society move forward.  Absent guidance from what was believed to be an all powerful Lord, we slowly are moving to men's reasons above "thou shalt not kill", and have mitigating arguments for almost any of the crimes which plagued this nation.  Liberal is good in some cases, but blindness to thoughts which ground folks and bring them hope during despair, is creating a mean America.

I don't know if its laziness or simply a dumbing down of society, but let us hope that by the end of the road, our nation can find its way back, to a Republic of shared values rather then a Republic being carved up like a cadaver, whose parts bring much wealth to the blood suckers who sell such things on the open market.  Let us hope, this nation finds a way to re-unite at least under a belief that in this universe there is some being or entity, that does judge right from wrong, and then to again emulate such precepts, through our courts and through our neighborhoods.

Can you imagine if George would have walked up to Trayvon and said, "hey brother, I am a neighborhood watch guy and was wondering if you had business around here"?  Even if Trayvon would have been a bit insulted for being profiled, if he was, clearly Trayvon probably would have pointed in the direction of his fathers lady-friends house, and said something like, "Ya, I am walking home".  But that didn't happen.  Something George said, failed all the goody two shoes stuff portrayed by the Conservative media on this matter, and a fight broke out.  Trayvon clearly the better man for it was on top, but somehow, he was shot to death, and the lord knows you can't fault a young man for walking a few blocks home from the store.

It is my hope that the lord looks favorably on us somehow, for in these times more then anytime in our past, "buyer beware", is back with a vengeance, and their aren't even enough jobs that pay enough to live on for folks looking for employ, to allow the masses a busy and profitable life.  Food stamps and other short term fixes are on the rise and continue for good reasons and its not just folks are trying to rip off the tax payer.  It is our system is breaking down for the last several years, and it can be evidenced by many of the judgments, from the Supreme Court down to the local courts, from our Administration to the Congress, as times are a changing, to a more free for all society then one guided by hands of providence, good will, majestic holiness, or by the best conscience of the people. 

Let us hope that during the next cycle we can find a way to unite us all around thoughts and not the color of ones skin, ones religion, ones creed or race.  But that we all are together in this great struggle of life, and neighbors in our neighborhoods, and citizens of this nation, and as inhabitants of our earth.  May the lord continue to bless America. little guy ™ 7/14/13

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ANNOUNCING OLD PEOPLE DON'T FIGHT THEY JUST SHOOT YOU

"Maybe the gun laws should be changed:  You have to be 21 to drink. how about; you have to be 50 to own a gun?????????????????" writes an associate of this Journal.  He sends in this 4th of July News story:

Plantation, Florida:

Last week police were called to investigate an attempted armed robbery: The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, Florida, Subway shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former helicopter pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, and he works out every day.  Mr. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night

According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner, Mr. Lovell, who was finishing his meal.  After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Mr. Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well.

They got his money, but then Mr. Lovell pulled his handgun and opened fire.  He shot one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head. When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop, K-9 Units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business.

They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department.  Both men were taken to the Broward General Medical Center, where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition.

Mr. Lovell was a pilot in the Marine Corps, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta Airlines. He is not expected to be charged authorities said. ''He was in fear for his life,'' Detective Rettig said, "These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots.

"Something tells me this old Marine wasn't in fear for his life', even though is life was definitely at risk. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71- year young Marine against two punks.

Two head shots and one center body mass shot. Outstanding shooting! That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal. Florida law allows eligible citizens to carry a concealed weapon.
Don't you just love a story with a happy ending? 

Old people don't fight, they just shoot you! Little Guy ™ 7/11/13

BARACK'S 4TH OF JULY OPEN MIKE COMMENTS AGAIN ROCK OUR WORLD

A “hot mic” has apparently picked up some very unflattering words from President Obama this Fourth of July, and may plunge him deeper into some very hot water, advised one of my readers.  He goes on to write:

“Hot” or “open mics” frequently catch public figures unknowingly expressing their true feelings, usually with colorful language (prime example: in 2000, then presidential candidate George W. Bush was caught complaining to vice-presidential candidate Dick Cheney that a reporter covering their campaign was a “major league asshole”). However Obama’s “slip” while exiting the balcony of the White House after his fifth Independence Day address may well exceed the average “hot mic faux pas.”

The smaller of Obama's two microphones, which was clipped inches below Obama’s shirt collar, was supposed to have been turned off immediately after his closing remarks to guests and reporters on the White House lawn. But the microphone remained “hot,” catching the President muttering:

“God, this holiday sucks! All this national pride shit get’s on my nerves.”

Obama’s candid comments are sure to further drag down his approval ratings, as recent scandals involving the IRS, the Benghazi terrorist attacks, and massive spying on average citizens by the NSA have sunk Obama’s approval numbers below that of former president George W. Bush. It took Obama thirty seconds before he completely exited the White House balcony and removed his microphone, during which it picked up more utterances by the Commander-in-Chief, none of which pundits view will help his ratings any time soon.

“You’d think we’d stop celebrating the birth of the worst imperial power in history –but nooooo…we have to do this flag-waving bullshit every year,” Obama muttered more as he made his way from the podium. “I can’t believe I have to miss a good day of golf for this crap!”

Although Baracks presumably inaudible words were not heard nearly as loudly as his official Independence Day speech, a few reporters and attendees close to the speakers beneath the White House balcony heard him distinctly. Obama tacked on a couple more self-pitying quips before removing his clip-on mic.

Editors note:  I would like to thank my associates in Wyoming for bringing this to my readers attention.  Somehow one would expect our popular president to have experience with such debacles with his now famous Promise the Russians more then the American People open mike fiasco.  But once again, perhaps this stuff only matters to "WE THE PEOPLE".

TUESDAY EDUCATIONAL ALERT ABOUT OUR NATION FROM THE TEXAS AG - MAYBE A DAY LATE BUT NOT A DOLLAR SHORT

Your Liberty -- as a United States citizen -- was weakened and threatened yesterday when the Obama Administration helped the United Nations pass the Arms Trade Treaty. Immediately after this disappointing vote, I wrote a letter to President Obama urging him not to sign the treaty. If the President signs the treaty allowing the UN to be involved in regulating firearms in the U.S., Texas will lead the charge to have the treaty overturned in court as a violation of the U.S. Constitution. I need your support. Please help us get the word out by referring 3 of your friends right now, and forwarding this email to 5 of your friends. Together, we can make a difference. America is exceptional in part because our Constitution safeguards our individual liberties – including the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the Second Amendment. The new UN treaty threatens your rights:  it doesn't recognize the individual right to keep and bear arms or the fundamental right to defend yourself, your family, or your property; it empowers a new UN bureaucracy focused on firearms restrictions that will be run by international bureaucrats who are not accountable to the people of the United States.

It could impose firearm registration requirements that may empower international authorities to get information about American citizens and businesses.
This UN treaty does more than trample Second Amendment rights. It also threatens to erode all liberties guaranteed to Americans in the Constitution by giving the UN power to govern our lives. Please refer 3 of your friends today and forward this important message to 5 of your friends right now. Your voice must be heard on this issue. When the Constitution says, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” it means no one—including the UN—can infringe upon that right. UN treaties do not trump the Constitution. And with your help, we will make that message clear to President Obama and this administration.

Sincerely,
Greg Abbott

A MONDAY FUNNY TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK CALLED THE NEW CHIEF SAMURAI

A powerful Japanese Emperor needed a new Chief Samurai. So he sent out a declaration throughout the entire known world of that time that he was searching for a CHIEF Samurai. A year passed, but only 3 people applied for the very demanding position;

A Japanese Samurai, a Chinese Samurai and a Jewish Samurai.

The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be the chief Samurai. The Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and out popped a bumblebee.

Whoosh! went his sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the ground.

The emperor exclaimed "That is very impressive!"

 The emperor then issued the same challenge to the Chinese Samurai, to come in and demonstrate why he should be chosen. The Chinese samurai also opened a match box and out buzzed a fly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! and the fly dropped dead on the ground in four small pieces.

The emperor exclaimed: "That is VERY impressive!"

Now the emperor turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him to demonstrate why he should be the Chief Samurai. The Jewish Samurai also opened a match box, and out flew a gnat. His flashing sword went Whoosh!

But the gnat was still alive and flying around.

The emperor, obviously disappointed, said: "Very ambitious!, but why is that gnat not dead?"

The Jewish Samurai just smiled and said: "Circumcision is not meant to kill."

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

 



I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

KEEP IT LIT!! KEEP IT LIT! 


For all of our other military personnel, where ever they may be.  Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.



And God Bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.  Thanks to them, and their sacrifices, we can celebrate the 4th of July.




We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be eternally grateful. 

I watched the flag pass by one day.  It fluttered in the breeze.    A young Marine saluted it,  And then he stood at ease.

I looked at him in uniform; so young, so tall, so proud.  With hair cut square and eyes alert, he'd stand out in any crowd. 


 I thought how many men like him had fallen through the years.  How many died on foreign soil; how many mothers' tears?


How many pilots' planes shot down?  How many died at sea?  How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?  NO, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE !


I heard the sound of Taps one night (Select play slide show from beginning and turn on the sound, and learn the secrets and mysteries of Taps) , when everything was still.   I listened to the bugler play and felt a sudden chill.

I wondered just how many times That Taps had meant 'Amen.'  When a flag had draped a coffin of a brother or a friend. 

I thought of all the children, of the mothers and the wives, of fathers, sons and husbands with interrupted lives. 


I thought about a graveyard, at the bottom of the sea.  Of unmarked graves in Arlington.  NO FREEDOM ISN'T FREE



 Enjoy Your Freedom and God Bless Our Troops.

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen.  Of all the gifts you could give a U.S. Soldier, prayer is the very best one.

ACTUAL CASES FROM "TALES OF THE RAILS-RAILROAD CLAIMS STORIES" BY NORMAN UDEWITZ- A NEW INFOJUSTICE JOURNAL SERIES WEEK SIXTEEN

Introduction

Certain laws cover most employees today who are injured while in the course of their employment.  Injured railroad employees are covered and protect by a Federal Law, entitle the Federal Employees Liability Act, also known as FELA.  The Jones Act is the only other federal law and it covers maritime workers.  Most other workers are covered for injuries, which they incur during the course of their normal and customary work duties, by State Compensation laws, especially in California.  This is a "no-fault" system covering injuries, which arose out of employment or during the course of employment (AOE/COE).

Furthermore, under the auspices of FELA, there is no formula to calculate monetary compensation or to define for a jury what the limit is in terms of the value that may be award for injuries.  Because of these pitfalls, many injured workers have found that they can wreak a goldmine from the courts for work-related injuries.  This is not to say that there are not many injuries which indeed deserve heavy compensation relative to the losses which have been incurred by workers, but it is to say that many workers have found it all too easy to exploit the system and bring home the gold, even thought they are still clearly able to work and the injuries that they have incurred are minimal.

The next section focuses on injury cases involving the railroad.  Approximately 90% of the cases handled by the railroad actually involve railroad workers themselves.  Other cases involve civilian bystanders who are incidental to the injury-causing accidents.

FELA: FEDERAL EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT

The following cases do not all involve railroad workers but many do.  Of the current railroad inventory of cases some 90 to 95% involve injures to their own employees with a portion relative to civilians.  These employee cases reflect judgments and settlements involving the Federal Employees Liability act (FELA).

There are two critical addenda to the FELA, which are known as the Boiler Inspection Act & the Safety Appliance Act.

The Boiler Inspection Act covers ladders, handholds, brakes, safety appliances, lighting and the cleanliness of the locomotive engine. The Safety Appliance Act covers sill steps, ladders, handholds, brakes, and other safety appliance and coupling mechanisms, and all other safety appliances on railroad cars.  If there is a violation of either one of these acts a judge in a courtroom would instruct the jury to consider the railroad 100% negligent and the only decision for the jury is how much monetary damage to award.  The only defense the railroad has is to prove the plaintiff is faking or is involved in a fraudulent claim if one of these acts applies.

FROM THE SECTION CALLED OTHER INTERESTING AND HUMOROUS CASES AND INCIDENTS

THE GREEDY HUSBAND

A 21 year old single female was on her way to catch a bus at the corner of 50th and Alameda Street in Los Angeles at about 8:30 A.M. on a clear morning.  She saw the bus and started to run to catch it.  Her path took her in front of an engine, which was shoving seven boxcars, and she was struck by the lead boxcar and knocked to the ground, where the wheels of the boxcar passed over he leg almost into the groin and amputated it.  She was completely oblivious to the noise of the train and the railroad crossing signals, which were functioning.

Fortunately there was  a conductor on he railroad train crew who hade been through two years off medical school and because of financial problems never completed his doctoral program.  The arteries were severe in the leg an were spurting blood.  The conductor using only his thumbs to apply pressure stopped the bleeding before the ambulance arrived, and probably saved her life.

After investigating the accident I visited the young lady and her mother in the hospital and told them I would try ultimately to make a settlement with them.  They seemed very favorable to this but about a month later I received a letter from an attorney who represented her, and he subsequently filed a lawsuit.  During the course of litigation I learned that she had become married shortly after the accident, and it was obvious that the husband could see money in the case and pushed her to an attorney.

Prior to trial, I made an offer of $200,000, which was declined, and I was advised that the demand to settle was one million dollars.  I learned that there was a shoeshine man who worked out of a pool hall adjacent to the area and was a witness.  When I interviewed him he advised that he had seen and heard the railroad signals in operation but did not see the accident until he heard someone yell 'Lord have Mercy" and saw a crowd gather near the injured girl.

The plaintiff attorney in this matter was very money oriented and would not listen to any reasonable discussions of settlement.  We knew we would have to try the case and the railroad defense attorney told me that it would be necessary to bring the shoeshine man to court, as he was a key witness.  He and I went to the pool hall, which was in a totally black neighborhood of Los Angeles and subpoenaed the man.  I assured him that we would pay any money he lost from his business while appearing in court.  The trial had started several days previously and he was to appear the next day.

He failed to appear, and the defense attorney notified the judge that he had been subpoenaed and I verified this.  The judge then called him at the pool hall and told him that if he did not appear at court at 1:30 P.M. the Marshall would arrest him and he would be placed in jail.

The shoeshine man appeared at 1:30 P.M. and was an extremely angry individual.  When he got on the witness stand, he blurted out, "I don't know why I am here.  All I know is that I saw the red lights on the signals flashing and heard the bells ringing." The defense attorney then said, "I have no further question of this witness".   After a very short cross-examination by the plaintiff attorney he was released.  His testimony destroyed the plaintiff allegations of no warning from the train, a dnt the jury returned with a defense verdict (They awarded no monetary damages).

While I never saw the young lady again I did run into her attorney several times in the halls of verious court rooms in the Los Angeles area.  He was very bitter about his defeat and whenever he saw me he would walk over and ask, "How many people did you kill today?"

THE HONEYMOON COUPLE

I received a call at about 3:00 A.M. one morning that a train had run over a man and woman and the man was deceased.  I drove to the scene of the accident which was a cold storage plant located at 3rd and Alameda Streets in Los Angeles, California.  I then learned that the night time switching job known as "The Rat-Hole Crew" had come into the spur track with a locomotive and coupled into a 60 foot refrigerated car and pulled it out and gone about their business.  Unknown to them a man and woman had gone underneath the car and spread out a blanket and were sleeping, among other things.

A night watchman had been proceeding along the street and heard moans coming from the area.  When he drove over he observed that the man had been cut in half and was dead.  The woman had suffered an amputated leg and was moaning.  She asked the watchman for a cigarette, which he gave her, and he then called for an ambulance and police. The woman had documentation that she was a welfare recipient and was to report to a clinical appointment the next day for a pregnancy test.

I made contact with the crew who remembered pulling the reefer car but had not observed the man and woman.  I might add that it was pitch black in the area where the incident occurred.

Several days later I received a telephone call from an attorney who wanted to make a quick settlement or he would file a lawsuit.  I told him that I had no intention o0f making monetary offer in this matter.  I never did hear from him again and no lawsuit was filed.      Stormin Norman Udewitz

Folks, come back next week for some of the most humorous injury cases in recent experience as well as devastating injuries to employees of the railroad and other involved persons. Many of these cases were brought before state and federal judges involving claimants who were represented by attorneys, and the reader will get a view of what can occur during the litigation process, especially involving large dollar cases as well as unique defense verdicts. You will be amazed and entertained by the actual process involved in the resolution of these matters. Next Week, two cases from the section called Interesting Cases and Incidents; the case of "Matagorda County, Texas" and "The Paternity Suit". little guy ™ 7/2/13

DOLPHIN ASSISTED CHILDBIRTH RAISING EYEBROWS AS THE DOLPHINS DON'T DELIVER THE BABY Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead.  The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth."  Charles Kingsley, Vol., II, Ch 28: "A good conscience is a continual Christmas." 

Well folks, of course Dolphin assisted childbirth would be the next anticipated Barack Obama era medical procedure.  Don't believe it?  Press play now. In fact one couple from Charlotte, Heather Hana age 27 and Adam Hana age 29, have signed the dotted line for this dolphin-assisted form of childbirth with the Sirius Institute in Hawaii.  Adam Hana advised in the following video that "We want to really be pioneers of sorts to really kind of open more people up to this, like it's already meant to be.  Star Newland for the Sirius Institute stated as you will hear, "Dolphins are very much about living in harmony and we feel we can learn a lot from them and pass it on to people".  Have fun and please hit play now.

THE ROADMAP FOR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IN FIVE YEARS - THE LITTLE GUY SYSTEM 

This editor is sorry that readers have had to be chomping at the bite for this article but it was originally written for some in a political position to bring this to the people of America and the floors of congress, and this editor wanted to wait to see if any implementation was forthcoming.  I would congratulate our President for praising the Wind Power utility in Pennsylvania and so forth, however we need energy independence within the next 5 years rather then waiting until some time so far in the future, that no one could predict if such a far off program would ever be implemented.  We need our elected officials to act now since we have the means and now the road map to energy independence detailed so that anyone could understand what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what the outcome would be even before we begin.  So, without further ado, below hit this link to find the Road Map for Energy Independence in 5 years now!

Lets say that those paid by the Incandescent light bulb industry get (Huge Lobby) their way and the new energy efficient light bulb is placed in every high rise, every home, simply everywhere in the nation.  Well, let's think about this, it will save funds earmarked for energy.  Yet did anyone have an forethought?  Clearly this has been the problem over the last 10 years.  First we had Bush who claimed to be conservative but this editor did not think he governed as one save his military strategy.  Now we have Bush Heavy (as apposed to Bush light), which advocates many of the things President Bush did.

Suddenly a 9.0 earthquake hits off the coast of the western  sea board.  From Washington to Northern California things looked just like Japan.  Suddenly millions and millions of bulbs break in homes that remained, in buildings that remained, and of course where all the damage was.  And then a Tsunami...

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What in the World Happened to honest Immigration?

Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented.  Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.  To read the rest of this fascinating article with its fantastic pictures please hit this link now!
