Curt Weldon - I Am Listening

By KIMBERLY HEFLING, Associated Press WASHINGTON A Pentagon report rejects the idea that intelligence gathered by a secret military unit could have been used to stop the Sept. 11 hijackings. The Pentagon inspector general's office said Thursday that a review of records from the unit, known as Able Danger, found no evidence it had identified ringleader Mohamed Atta or any other terrorist who participated in the 2001 attacks. The report was ordered following the assertion last year that the unit had identified four of the 19 hijackers in 2000. That claim was made by a former intelligence officer who worked on Able Danger, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, and by Rep. Curt Weldon, vice chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security'committees. Weldon, R-Pa., has said the unit used data-mining to link Atta and three other hijackers to al-Qaida more than a year before the attacks. The 71-page report, blacked out in parts, also rejected Weldon's claim that the unit wanted information given to the FBI but that Pentagon lawyers would not allow it. The report acknowledged that one Able Danger member alleged he was prohibited from providing a chart to the FBI in 2000 by a senior Special Operations commander. But, the report said, "the senior official did not recall the incident and we are persuaded that the chart would have been of minimal value to the FBI." The Pentagon had said some employees recall seeing an intelligence chart identifying Atta as a terrorist before the attacks. The report said those accounts "varied significantly" and witnesses were inconsistent at times in their statements. Last year, the bipartisan commission that investigated the attacks dispensed with the issue by calling it "not historically significant." Associated Press writer Pauline Jelinek contributed to this report. Defense Department Office of Inspector General: http://www.dodig.osd.mil/ I don't know what Curt Weldon was up to, but to me the FACT alone that the MSM continues to spout the BS that "19 Arabs with boxcutters" were responsible for the 9-11 attacks is getting old. The FBI, CIA, and other government entities NEVER then and to this day report this falsehood as FACT! Go look it up. Amazing that so many people in Delaware County are so stupid to RESEARCH facts that are avaialible to the public from official government web sites and from the library of congress that refute the "MSM (Main Stream Media) for all of you AOL users out there that the 911 commissions report is flawed, and biased, not to mention, never spent any real time and effort into the investigation. Bottom line? The evidence has been either destroyed or kept away from the people. I'm fed up with this, as is thousands of other AMERICANS. People who love America, not thier so called "Party" that will change it. Only time will tell if the real culprits will get away with the 9-11 LIE. Cheers. phillyfeaturedblog

Nothing That An Ithaca 37 Couldn't Handle

From across the pond...

Big Brother is shouting at you

Last updated at 21:02pm on 16th September 2006 Big Brother is not only watching you - now he's barking orders too. Britain's first 'talking' CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly. The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts - from dropping litter to late-night brawls - to send out a verbal warning: 'We are watching you'. Middlesbrough has fitted loudspeakers on seven of its 158 cameras in an experiment already being hailed as a success. Jack Bonner, who manages the system, said: 'It is one hell of a deterrent. It's one thing to know that there are CCTV cameras about, but it's quite another when they loudly point out what you have just done wrong. 'Most people are so ashamed and embarrassed at being caught they quickly slink off without further trouble. 'There was one incident when two men started fighting outside a nightclub. One of the control room operators warned them over the loudspeakers and they looked up, startled, stopped fighting and scarpered in opposite directions. 'This isn't about keeping tabs on people, it's about making the streets safer for the law-abiding majority and helping to change the attitudes of those who cause trouble. It challenges unacceptable behaviour and makes people think twice.' The Mail on Sunday watched as a cyclist riding through a pedestrian area was ordered to stop. 'Would the young man on the bike please get off and walk as he is riding in a pedestrian area,' came the command. The surprised youth stopped, and looked about. A look of horror spread across his face as he realised the voice was referring to him. He dismounted and wheeled his bike through the crowded streets, as instructed. Law-abiding shopper Karen Margery, 40, was shocked to hear the speakers spring into action as she walked past them. Afterwards she said: 'It's quite scary to realise that your every move could be monitored - it really is like Big Brother. 'But Middlesbrough does have a big problem with anti-social behaviour, so it is very reassuring.' The scheme has been introduced by Middlesbrough mayor Ray Mallon, a former police superintendent who was dubbed Robocop for pioneering the zero-tolerance approach to crime. He believes the talking cameras will dramatically cut not just anti-social behaviour, but violent crime, too. And if the city centre scheme proves a success, it will be extended into residential areas. The control room operators have been given strict guidelines about what commands they can give. Yelling 'Oi you, stop that', is not permitted. Instead, their instructions make the following suggestions: 'Warning - you are being monitored by CCTV - Warning - you are in an alcohol-free zone, please refrain from drinking'; and Warning - your behaviour is being monitored by CCTV. It is being recorded and the police are attending.' Mr Bonner said: 'We always make the requests polite, and if the offender obeys, the operator adds 'thank you'. We think that's a nice finishing touch. 'It would appear that the offenders are the only ones who find the audio cameras intrusive. The vast majority of people welcome these cameras. 'Put it this way, we never have requests to remove them.' But civil rights campaigners have argued that the talking cameras are no 'magic bullet', in the fight against crime. Liberty spokesman Doug Jewell said: 'None of us likes litterbugs or yobs playing up on a Saturday night, but talking CCTV cameras are no substitute for police officers on the beat.'

Seems that jolly old England has gone hi-tech. Imagine being at your favourite Wawa and as your walking to your car hear "Hey scumbag! Pick up that cigarette butt you just thrown on the ground! Do you do this at YOUR house"? Sure thing, I have 3 CCTV cameras (Infrared I might add) Front, Rear, and a "Roaming" one, to thwart these types of scumbags.. I also am thinking of purchasing a loudspeaker, but I already have one at home. Seriously, Just when will it end?

Was George Orwell some kind of modern day Nostradamus? It's a sobering effect to see that you cannot even walk down the street without knowing that your being watched, by people who probably judge and convict people's characters, looks, etc, and all while being paid! Sounds good to me! I have one person in mind that I would love to watch, I'm sure you do too.

I remember hating hearing "Watch The Tram Car Please" down the shore as a kid, I know it was for "my safety", but guess what? It was a clever indoctination into Orwell's "1984". The "NWO" is here! Cheers..

Joe Sestak - Affordable Healthcare

I was sent this video. We here in Delco who do not have healthcare for our families are watching what you say. The above video has Joe Sestak talking about it. Curt Weldon also has a stance. Problem is, he has had many years to get the job done, and still no affordable healthcare. I move to vote Joe Sestak as our new Congressman. Time for new blood. Cheers.

Five Years Ago Today - Bringing Closure

Share this film with everyone you know. Watch the whole video to gain knowledge about 911.

Most people here in Delco will be watching the ABC movie that has basically blamed the Clinton administration for the 9-11-2001 attacks. The people who lost loved ones on 9-11 are the ones who need closure, NOT grandstanding pols who will surely yet again use today's anniversary of "terror" to further their careers.

Nazis like Ann Coulter, the heathen who has said this about the four women pictured above who are in also in the video:

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much. ... And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy.... These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them."

This is a perfect example of how "pussified" (George Carlin) Americans have become, to put up with these NeoNazis who twist the truth about what happened on 911, and how the government lied and continues to lie five years later. The so called "911 Commission" thumbed their noses at the 911 families, including local ones right here in Delaware County. Rummy got it right when he said "It will take another 911 to wake people up" . Wake up to the lies that almost 3000 families have heard for the last five years? Or wake up to the fact that America is hijacked.

But not by whom you think.

Pa. town's law cracking down on illegal immigrants revised

The new measure is a crock of crap. I think keeping the original ordinance, which punishes business & landlords who employ & rent to illegals should stand. I also think the illegals should be deported AND I think Upper Darby needs to adopt the same ordinance - but I know THAT would NEVER happen. Hazleton's City Council tentatively OKd a version that its backers say will withstand a court fight. By Michael Rubinkam Associated Press HAZLETON, Pa. - Seeking to put its groundbreaking crackdown on illegal immigrants on sounder legal footing, the City Council is scrapping the law it approved in July in favor of a dramatically overhauled ordinance that boosters say will have a better chance of withstanding a court battle. Like the version it replaces, the new ordinance given tentative approval Friday would punish businesses that employ illegal immigrants and landlords who rent to them. But the new measure would go about enforcement in a completely different way, putting the burden of verifying immigration status on the city, giving landlords and businesses time to correct violations before imposing sanctions, and softening penalties. "Once this ordinance is enforced, landlords and the public will know that the people who are here have a legal right to be here," said Republican Mayor Lou Barletta, who has championed the measure. Latino activists said the replacement ordinance was unconstitutional and vowed a court fight. The city has assembled a legal team to defend the measure, including Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri law professor and immigration adviser under former Attorney General John Ashcroft. The council, which voted 4-1 Friday in favor of the ordinance, is expected to give final approval on Tuesday. "This one is a lot better, a lot more legally sound," City Council President Joe Yannuzzi said. David Vaida, a civil-rights lawyer who also sued the city, said the new ordinance had the same flaws as the old one. "It is preempted by federal law. The United States has exclusive and sole jurisdiction over immigration," he told the council. Last week, officials in the city of 31,000 residents agreed not to enforce the original ordinance after the American Civil Liberties Union and Latino groups sued in federal court to overturn it. In return, the plaintiffs agreed not to seek an injunction against the city. Under the agreement, Hazleton must give the plaintiffs at least 20 days' notice before it begins enforcing the replacement ordinance - enough time for the ACLU to head back to court to try to stop it.

Door to Door with Marie deYoung

Yesterday while we all were out, a woman came up to our door. She knocked and then wrote something on a piece of paper and put it in our mailbox. My neighbor told me this, even noticing that the wrote with her left hand,(I'm also Left-Handed). It turned out to be none other than Marie de Young, who is running for Nick Micozzie's job as State Rep in our district, the 163. The flyer indicates that "Marie is a proven reformer with a plan to change the way Harrisburg does business". It goes on to state that she was a whistleblower who testified against Dick Cheney's (Former) Halliburton, who fleeced millions from us in the form of overcharging, etc. One thing it states is that She plans to "Make health care more accessible and affordable." That issue is number one to me, being that I am self employed and have lost it for the time being because of being to expensive. To be fair, Nick Micozzie also stopped by a few weeks ago. I was not here but he left a similar message. He has been working with a Democrat, by the name of Anthony DeLuca, to create a "Universal Health Care Plan". I again state that this health care issue is critical to people like myself, who don't have the luxury of working for a large corporation. Btw, what did Marie write? "I'm sorry I missed you!" So am I Marie. So am I.

Curt Weldon - A Fireman's Friend

As some of you know, I'm not really a fan of Curt Weldon. A friend of mine who knows this recently reminded me that Mr. Weldon has been a big supporter of Firemen across the country, and has managed to obtain as Senior member of the House Armed Services Committee $7.6 billion dollars to help fund volunteer fire companies across the U.S. As an admirer of firemen in general for the jobs they do and the lives that they save, I thought that I would post something about Mr.Weldon in a positive light, one in witch he deserves. I'll admit that yes he has looked out for them, and that to me is a good thing. My Thoughts: This country needs a "Weed and Seed" program for all the politicians. Across Party lines, across Counties, across States, etc. Me? I'm still voting for Joe Sestak. Will it make a difference? Maybe not. But It hopefully will send a message that Delconians need their Congressmen right here, not worrying about Iraq or Iran or other things that a President should be handling. (Our current Prez has made a joke out of foreign relations, and is better suited to stay in Crawford with his Horses) Curt Weldon has actually contributed to Delco where it is most needed. So Dave, I stand corrected about Curt. You win. I'll buy you a cold one at Thomas's. P.S. Here's a thought: Joe Sestak for Congress, Curt Weldon for President. Deal?

The School Property Tax

The following is part of an e-mail from a Drexel Hill resident to me, and my response. My point was that there must be a better way to fund schools, and make them even better, without such a reliance on property taxes. I attended the public school system in Upper Darby, K-12. I know how good it is, how much teachers, administrators and school board members care about what they do. Why not find new and innovative funding sources, rock solid and certain, so that our schools can continue to, and even improve the ultimate product, the children of our community. THE E_MAIL: After writing my previous message to you this afternoon, I continued to shake my head. I wondered to myself, "How could someone be so oblivious to the connection between well-supported school districts and the quality of life in a community? Does this person have no idea that houses represent the biggest financial investment that low-income people will ever make and that, by letting the schools crumble and therefore destroying the attractiveness of the community, he will basically be flushing those peoples' hard-won investments down the toilet?? Does he really want to turn Drexel Hill into another Lansdowne? I think it is wonderful that someone your age wants is serious about political issues, and I really do applaud you for that. You are obviously bright and have a lot of energy. But what in the world makes you think that in 20 years you have gained the life experience to be able to be a state representative? Is it presumptuosness? Arrogance? Plain old ignorance? You simply have no idea of the broader consequences of the positions you are espousing. You couldn't. You just haven't been on the planet long enough. MY RESPONSE: Thank you for your thoughtful comments. One question, if you don't mind. If for over 20 years of Mario's service why have property taxes risen to the point of forcing some of our neighbors from their homes, and what would be the problem with finding other sources to replace them while maintaining and even improving our schools? I must say I find it refreshing to hear from someone who cares enough of our community to speak up. I may only be 20 but I never would have taken an illegal payraise as Mr. Civera did. I would never allow winter utility shutoffs just because of campaign contributions received by Mr. Civera. I would never drive a $650 Caddy at taxpayer expense as Mr. Civera does. I would never fight to keep the actions of our legislature secret as Mr. Civera does. I might not be legally able to drink but I am of age to fight our wars and serve in our legislature. I've been taught that when I see something wrong, do something about it. Don't just sit by and let it happen. So win or lose at least I'm trying to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. I'll end with this; Will your teenagers be better of with the status-quo of Mr. Civera or the reform and vision of the future that puts people first, as I espouse. I went on too long, I apologize, but I believe I'm on the right side and it's thought provoking to discuss the issues with a concerned person like you. I'm OK with your non-support, at least we live in America where when it's over, we shake hands and work together. Sincerely, Casey Roncaglione

People like myself are just really getting ticked off about the way the Bush admin has managed to align all these "Muslims" to hate us. I believe that they really don't hate US, per say, only our selected officials. This above comment only re-inforces my belief that America should quit being the watch dog of the world, quit interfering in other countries business, and worry about her own people first. Bush and his cronies have totally screwed up this country. This isn't about Dem or Pub either. Both parties are equal in guilt for NOT doing something radical about the current situation. What we need is new leadership, ones who will take this county away from the corporations, take over the MSM who only release slanted stories of what is really happening in the world, and work for US, the American citizen! On August 22nd, there is a wide growing rumor that world war three will start in the middle east, first by Iran launching SSN-25 Onyx sideburn missles missiles in the Persian Gulf, or something even more devastating. Some "Muslim" holy day also is on the 22nd. Bottom line is that all you know, all you love,Your America may be obliteriated by some nutcase with his hand on a button in a city near you. Remember the SALT treaties that Nixon created? One can only hope that someone with real balls steps up to the plate and takes action against these crazy so called leaders in Washington, Tel Aviv, and Jolly Old England (Yes, the same country that we had our so called independence from.) In closing, I feel enlightened by what knowledge I have gained by being on the net now for 17 years. Forget about BS liquid bombs on domestic Aircraft(A HOAX), I'd be more worried about the next 9-11, that will surely happen to save these thugs in Washington's jobs and thier sick NWO agenda. Good Night.
