Criminalizing the Folks

By Brian W. Walsh

"You don't need to know. You can't know." That's what Kathy Norris, a 60-year-old grandmother of eight, was told when she tried to ask court officials why, the day before, federal agents had subjected her home to a furious search.
[Define Smidgeon of Good News]
The agents who spent half a day ransacking Mrs. Norris' longtime home in Spring, Texas, answered no questions while they emptied file cabinets, pulled books off shelves, rifled through drawers and closets, and threw the contents on the floor.

The six agents, wearing SWAT gear and carrying weapons, were with - get this- the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Kathy and George Norris lived under the specter of a covert government investigation for almost six months before the government unsealed a secret indictment and revealed why the Fish and Wildlife Service had treated their family home as if it were a training base for suspected terrorists. Orchids.

That's right. Orchids.

"On the night of Tropical Islands' gala launch, the transformation from airship hangar to island paradise is nearly complete: there are still a few coiled up hoses about, and the rainforest plants look a bit dusty, but most things are in place. The sand along the lip of the Balinese lagoon is a pristine white. Round the other side of the rainforest, the island in the centre of the tropical sea - a body of water about the size of four Olympic swimming pools - is set for the premiere of what will be a nightly stage show."

Brain Industries: Hemisity [no not as in a Dodge RAM]

Scientists Invent Machine To Discover How Brain Works

-- MEANWHILE --
More recent discoveries bring even less comprehensible results, as in "Oh yeah -- it's COMPLICATED":

Origin, Meaning, and Distinction between the Three Brain Laterality Terms: Dominance, Asymmetry, and Hemisphericity.

Hemispheric Dominance: Although Diocles of fourth century BC Greece may have been the first to write about brain laterality (Lockhorst, 1985), Marc Dax was the first in the modern era to note a difference in function between the cerebral hemispheres. In 1836, he noted that victims of injury to the left hemisphere (LH), but not right hemisphere (RH) could not speak. This hemispheric asymmetry for language was thought to be tied to contra-lateral hand preference by Paul Broca (1865) in an example of over generalization ( ... ). Nearly a century passed before any further manifestations of hemispheric laterality were discovered. Then, a large study by Weisenberg and McBride (1935) demonstrated a RH preeminence in visiospatial skills. [SOURCE]

The Dual Quadbrain Model’s capacity to account for the entirety of human behavior from the diabolic to the sublime was used to derive a more accurate, brain-dependent, operational definition for hemisphericity. The phenomenon of hemisphericity exists because the single unilateral Executive Ego has limited access to functions based in the opposite half of the brain. Thus for example, those individuals who’s Executive Ego innately is in their left cingulate limbic cortex, manifest a left brain behavioral orientation because left brain functions are more accessible to it, and vise versa.

That is, in right-handed, LH languaged individuals, putative right hemisphere traits are proposed to be more prominent in some individuals, resulting in a “Right brain”-oriented personality style (Davidson and Hugdahl, 1995; Shiffer, 1996), while in others the left hemisphere traits are more ascendant, producing a contrasting “Left brain”-oriented style (Springer and Deutch; 1998; Fink et.al., 1996). Thus, original assignment of the term “hemispheric dominance” to language laterality has ultimately forced the creation of yet a third laterality term, that of hemisphericity (Bogen, 1969; Bogen, DeZure, Tenhouten, and Marsh, 1969) to account for this third hypothesized laterality phenomenon. Barriers to pronunciation of hexasyllabic “hemisphericity” are bypassed by use of the abbreviation, hemisity.

... hemisity.

Flash Flood

[SOURCE]
Published Wednesday, October 28, 2009 8:07 AM
Flash flood watch in effect for Brazos Valley through Thursday

National Weather Service officials are warning that flooding is possible across much of northern, central and southeastern Texas over the next two days.

Forecasters issued a flash flood watch for areas in north central and northeast Texas -- including Leon, Milam and Robertson counties -- from late tonight through Thursday evening.

A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.

A line of thunderstorms is expected to impact north Texas beginning late tonight and continuing through Thursday, according to the weather service. There is a potential for heavy rainfall. The soil is still saturated from previous heavy rainfall in the past week and another one to two inches of rainfall will likely cause flash flooding, weather officials said.

Some rivers, streams and creeks in the warning area also remain swollen from recent heavy rainfall, and additional runoff will likely lead to more flooding across north Texas, officials said.

A flood warning remained in effect Wednesday for the Navasota River near Easterly, affecting Leon and Robertson counties, until late Saturday night. At 5:31 a.m., minor flooding was occurring, with the river at 22.94 feet, weather officials said. The flood stage is 19 feet. The river is expected to recede later today, but additional rainfall on Thursday may cause another rise in the river, officials said.

Also affecting Leon County is a flood warning for the Trinity River near Long Lake, in effect until further notice, weather officials said.

The river was at 39.22 feet at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, and the flood stage is 35 feet, officials said. The river will continue to rise to a crest near 43 feet by Saturday morning, then begin falling, according to the weather service.

The weather service on Wednesday also issued a flash flood watch in effect from Thursday morning through evening for areas of southeast Texas, including Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Madison and Washington counties.

Weather service officials said they forecast excessive rainfall from thunderstorms expected to develop ahead of and along an advancing cold front. Storms are expected to impact the southeast Texas area beginning Thursday morning and last throughout the day.

Most areas can expect one to three inches of rainfall with some areas receiving up to five inches, according to the weather service. This will cause grounds to quickly become saturated and lead to flooding. Runoff from any heavy rainfall across the warning area will also impact already swollen creeks, streams and rivers, officials said

NWO is a kind of Queer Idea, don't you think So?

New World Order
by Pat Darnell and Lori

It's the big guy standing on the tarmac of his new temple under construction. He is seen making broad sweeps with his arm while talking to a group that surrounds him, heard over the bulldozers' roaring. It's the woman, USC professor, PhD in humanities and communications, explaining a visitor she has when in her morning meditative state. Typical spirit guides for you and me, us who seek 'all known wisdom' and 'humility in our understanding.'

It's molecular, as is thought by NWO'ers, that their alchemy will bring about a sizzling new way to make gold from gym socks. I feel another JazzRock Operaepic slipping into my wee head.

NWO, to me, is an aging spinster who has carried a Urantia Book around until the day she falls and cannot get up. Does she die to make room for the eventual reduction in numbers of humans on third rock from the sun? I think so; Wisdom dies Quietly .... Humility dies too.

New World Order is gallows humor; Michael Jacksonian, L Ron Hubbard ... and Mormon. You know those space ships all around the world, UFO's and flying saucers .. those are Mormons.

How do I know this? I have been visited by the jilted lover of Thosis Trombone. Let's call her Lori. Thosis is of the 18th Dynasty, fourth child of Ruler from 1842 to 1790 BC Egypt; became ruler during the 1700 BC, who shares bloodlines with DesCartes and Scooby Doo.

She told me that not only was her pharoah lover impotent, it turns out he kept rubbing this elixir on his self. It smelt horrible, like diesel, but that is not all. One has to wonder '... did they have diesel in 1800 BC ...' ? "What? Does he have clap?" I ask her. Then aside, "And how does my muse Lori, who comes to me before dinner in my weight-loss meditation, how she knows what diesel smells like ?"

Despite answers that make sense, I asked her about the Georgia StoneHenge erected in USA around 1980, in post-apocalyptic President Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, VP, era? She pointed a trembling, yet well-turned, digit at this:

Last year's movie that won Sean Penn an Academy Award for his portrayal of Milk had increased the pressure on Sacramento to get the bill passed, and gay rights groups have spent the days since Schwarzenegger brandished his pen celebrating.
First introduced in 2008, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the bill last week to create Harvey Milk Day in honor of the first openly gay person to be elected mayor of a major American city.

Readers Ought to Complain
by Pat Darnell and the Three Blind Mice

Who is the Knucklehead who reasoned it is okay to make print smaller, and smaller? Readers must be aware of this; if not just try to read the labels on your Mucinex and Aleve bottles. I have to go find +2 spectacles and good light to focus on the print that is unabashedly a crime against humanity.

Unabashedly this crime is divisive. Typesetters for what unknown reason have made a factious mistake. Those of us who are addicted to reading will become supportive of forming parties and raising dissensions in opposition to books with small print, and those who produce them. You cheap skates are a menace to the common good of readers.

Usury is a Religious Experience :: Maddoff's Rolodex

A Lot of International Playboys are giving Ponzi a Bad Name
Retrieved by Pat Darnell from Cell Block One

[SOURCE] "I inherited $100,000 from my father to continue my studies. I invested them with Ezzeddine, and now all my dreams are destroyed," says Mohammad, a 25-year-old student from Maaroub. "I don't know what I was thinking when I invested with him. We thought he was Hizballah's financier."

"Lebanon's" Bernie Madoff: A Scandal Taints Hizballah
By Andrew Lee Butters / Beirut, Youssef Ajami / EPA
Wednesday, Sep. 16, 2009 Lebanese businessman Salah Ezzeddine

The organization [Hizballah] denied having an official relationship with him [Ezzeddine], but Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallahhas acknowledged that the group was being tainted by association, saying he would mount an investigation to account for investor losses. But many investors have said Hizballah officials not only encouraged them to put their money and trust in Ezzeddine but also claimed that his investments were halal, acceptable according to Muslim laws that forbid profiting from interest -- which they equate with usury. [TIME Photo Essay HERE]

Indeed, one Hizballah source told TIME that some top leaders did business with Ezzeddine. The Lebanese press has published unsubstantiated reports that his enterprise collapsed when a check he wrote to a senior Hizballah official bounced and that, as a result, the financier went into hiding until Hizballah security forces found him and turned him over to the government.

Ezzeddine's schemes — supposed investments in oil, publishing, metals and television, spread out from the Gulf to Africa — are unraveling on a spectacular scale, and it is casting Hizballah in an unflattering light. The house of cards began falling earlier this month, when his businesses went bankrupt, ostensibly from the effects of the global financial crisis. But rumors swirled in the press of a pyramid scheme of more than $1 billion, and the local media dubbed Ezzeddine the Lebanese Bernie Madoff.

MooPig Correlations Department: Crowd Control and Over Population

Correlations by Pat Darnell and ACME

As the population of humans on earth surpasses 6 billion 6.792 billion, clever crowd control devices grow in number as well. Growing, expanding rapidly, exponentially, in sophistcation and cost, burgeoning from inventors for partisan groups -- who would divest people of many freedoms -- are weapons of massive human-masses control.

But there is nothing still  quite as effective in crowd control as a big man that's quick on his feet.
