  1. Pick a country comparable to America, not Iraq. on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 0

    In Iraq, there is a bunch of foreigners occupying the land and they use double-speak and selective journalism to document their success.

    Over in these united States of America, it's the same where employees from that city of Washington District of Columbia, known as US citizens aka Federal employees, are occupying various offices of trust in the several states and are not qualified because they unconciously divert property and disrespect the rights of a trustee at the original estate.

    The difference between America and Iraq is that Americans are quietly subverted into complacently by the United States, while the people in Iraq all know from the beginning that they are being subverted. America is technically more advanced because slavery has become the acceptable instrument of freedom equally shackled to all arms and legs. At least in Iraq, the morality question is with God on one's justification to defend theirself from assault and batteries of false arrest and imprisonment; here in America, there are swarms of incompetant officers that consume more value than they are worth.

    I would fit in well with Iraq, simply because the Order in of a theocracy is more sustainable than the spurious and manipulable potential in a debtor nation. It's good that the theocracy in the Americas has been dormant at the king's bench since around the Year of Our Lord 1794 and well rested to rule the Day again.

    To save a nickel a unit of course.

    (Which is understandable given that they need to maximise profit and removing features that are almost unused in their target market is a good way to do it. Real engineers don't overspec!)


    A nickel-worth value removed discreetly anywhere from a computer motherboard would cause no less than USD 75 for a technician to correct and repair, regardless of the component. This is why I prefer American-made computers built before the Year 1999; it's all gone to shit since then. To me, there is no such thing as an antique: Digital Equipment Corporation and their Alpha hardware was always made with reliable and high-quality components that I would happily pay a reasonable cost to retain its value from the scrap-heap garbage from China and Taiwan they call modern computers. Also, I prefer typewriters for certain tasks rather than the waste from computers, and typewriters don't necessarily fail as a computer would and contribute to a more skilled and diverse workforce for their reasonable upkeep in mechanical precision and inks.

    On the other hand, two remove a nickel-worth of rubber from a car tire would be a remeniscent annurism. I suppose the service cost a a little dowel of rubber would be higher than the component cost of that for a computer, but there sits the service cost is much less.

    On the sadistic hand, a pharmaceutical company has no value on the fluids its agents manipulate, but the skill therein would be comparable to a electronics technician as was that electronics technician to a tire service, but monopolistic tendancy has raised pharmaceutical illusions to a height comparable with "lawyers" and automobile "insurance" to take their third of the cause in economic manipulation and intentional inflation.

    According to their Constitution of the United States, no law may violate the law of contract.

    I theorize most people think of when I said "commit or perform" is ubiquitous, when in fact I mean what I had thought and written as to assert the difference between an assertion in the Now to commit as different from one Future by Actors to perform. Reading your post, I thought it an opportunity to bump my Head to a sound mind. On matters of what people "might" commit, is a matter of establishing ID as to contract, committing thereto in its execution, and drawing from the value for those that benefit. If any discourse would cause the speculation of arresting the people for what they might commit in Consideration to whomever is party to that contract, to my studies it is found that only a Trustee is subject to arrest; because for a Trustee, the office is holding property on someone's behalf for the benefit of another; that property is Now in dispute to be set aside for a Rehearsel of the Rememdy in the Future. Thereby, all matter of arrest is a dispute over property; contained therein, is the key to comprehend the meaning of "resident" as defined in the earliest of American law jurisprudence and dictionaries origined to the Brittains: a "resident" is a thing (res), known (id), and cordially subject to the dispute. If it were considered for a man to be a thing, then that would need correction to move the verry true name to a man as the trademark(tm) affixed to the property (playwrite script) in dispute.

    Looking to Court and its verry preparations would reveal it nothing more than determinations of said Contract to be Rehearsed by actors, as evinced by entry into the theatre in banc to Hear the matter to a wit of pro se or pro per; thereby Done at a time in the Future by those Actors inducted as Officers to the feuding Courts of competant jurisdiction representing the matter.

    The Patriot Act is more about stoping crimes before they happen.. and thats also a problem.


    I suppose the only way for the Patriot Act to facilitate the estoppel in transitu of the execution of a contract (criminal side of determinations), would be if the administration was Party to that crime with a controlling interest. That is bonded with a Security Agreement, is it not?

    According to my living record, there is a word of art captured to application as "Food and Drug Administration" and then there is a corporation moving as FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. On the corporate side of things, their code and executive has decided that "a drug is any substance advertised to cure a disease." Thee are two ways to look at this "cure a disease" determination; looking at incomplete infections, a substance that would cause that incomplete infection to be a full infection is looked upon as "curing" the disease end of things. On the same side, there are the effects of the source that causes the disease, whereby if the symtoms were removed then the source of the disease could make itself known: cure the disease. This stems from the fact that "modern medicine" doesn't really heal the body or mind from the source, because it is only there to derive financial gain to remove the symtoms.

    On the better hand I gave you on beer being known to remove the aluminum deposits from the flesh and blood of a man, that is not a cure for a disease; that is correct and true nutrition. Appropriately, the Food aspect is separate from the "Drug Administration" aspect. Marijuana (canibas for smoking), not to be confused with non-smoking purposes of same growth, is known to have nutritional value to reprove the balance of the immune system of a flesh and blood man.

It's not so much as a direct push, but an entirely economic one to first outlaw the smallest of productive animals as to decide what is for farm and what is not. The same distinction is that to force opinions of domestication onto the politic, to decide likewise what is a "pet bird" and what is a "farm bird"; in effect, it is to harass the posterity and lively-hood of the people to cause their reliance to settle on the inexpensive perverse nature of ware-housed resources. Perhaps the fluoridation in the water causes the people to regress into a submissive state as did the POW's in World War II Germany, but it all correlates into a slow push from all sides.
