I posted quite a bit of this in a couple of comments in ongoing discussions in my archives, but I felt like putting it here as well, as some of the comments are pretty pointless.
Does anyone know who Sujey Alvarez, Abigail Louise Angel, Amanda Bailey, Ana Benitez, Amber Janae Branham, Nikki Evans Earnest, Sharnecia Monique Frazier, Bobbie Jo Glaze, Venus Grier, Rachel Lynn Harris, Julian Tiberius Hernandez, Jessica Jean Linderman, Kasie Lynn Mcguire, Rosa Perez, Nicole Marie Rockwell, Heaven Lashae Ross, Cameron Justin Smith, Natalie Dale Spruill, Darlene Nicole Tolbert, Fred Wright, Mary Jordan Wright are?
Need a hint? They are all missing children from Alabama. They include two blacks and three hispanics. The rest are white.
Well, how about Reyna Gabriella Alvarado-Carerra (thanks to Kuro5hin for the op piece)? She has been missing since a few weeks before Natalie Holloway.
Know what they ALL have in common? They are not being beaten like a dead horse on CNN and FOX. Why not? I know for a fact that each and every one of them has someone that cares about them and wants to find them. You don’t see F-15′s doing fly-bys to look for them, now do you? Apparently these missing children just aren’t newsworthy enough. Or perhaps it is the people that WATCH CNN and FOX that don’t give a fuck. No pretty and blonde enough for you or something? Actually I am sure that at least one of these kids has to be a pretty blonde, but they are the exception that proves the rule.
How about Jon-Benet Ramsey? Heard of her? Of course you have. Even Ted Kazinsky has probably heard of her.
I did manage to see mention of Latoyia Figueroa on both FOX, and more prominently on CNN. She is a mother, also five months pregnant, from Philadelphia, who has been missing since July 18th. Damn, why so long to report the nes about her? That’s because she is black and from the ghetto. So why is she being reported on now? Thanks to Richard Blair of allspinzone.com, a blogger. As Richard notes, Natalie Holloway rates aver 5600 news hits on Google, while Latoyia Figueroa rates about 77 (and that is mostly thanks to Richard).
Personally, I think that ALL of these dissapearences are tragic, and would like for all of these people to be reunited with those that love them. That having been said, for those of you that have so vehemently disagreed with what I have been saying for weeks about Natalie Holloway being a big deal because she is blonde, white and pretty, you can go fuck yourself. I will respectfully NOT agree to disagree.
One of the things that I have found interesting over the last few weeks has to do with the number of hits that I receive. Obviously I am not a soothing read that thousands of people flock to (at least I hope the fuck not). My normal readership is anywhere from 10-75 people per day, myself and my wife probably making up 20% of the hits. Since Natalie dissapeared, I have been receiving THOUSANDS of hits per day, the highest day being somewhere around 4700 if I recall correctly. The last couple of days, that has dipped back below 100. Now, a couple of things could be happening here. I may have so completely disgusted and pissed off all of the entertainment news junkies out there that they are flocking to ban my sorry ass, or maybe they find that the Natalie Holloway story is getting stale and need a little bit of strange, you know, some new action. While I would like to think that it is the former, I think the second scenario is the culprit. Well, you know what they say, joke yourself if you can’t take a fuck.

I know I posted basically the same thing here, but he has the knack to say it so much better than I do. I will probably continue to post my opinions and the occasional news about the investigation, but skippystalin has hit the nail right on the head as far as all of the news channels and the “entertainment value” that they are getting out of this.
One thing to look at though, is that even though they are overusing it, this also seems the best way to keep continued interest in the case from the FBI, and the US Government.

This is one of those things that just irritate the hell out of me. I hate Daylight Savings Time. The government says that it saves resources, but I have not yet seen proof of that. Where the fuck does our ligeslature get off on dictating TIME? What, do they think they are Dr. Who or something?
I am not 100% sure, but even though the U.S. Government sets the rules for it, I think that DST has to be approved by the state legislatures. I do know that Arizona, and parts of Indiana do NOT follow DST. Not sure about Alaska, though even if it does, it would have basically NO effect up there. I don’t know any other states that don’t follow it, I think that I may have to research it this evening. More useless info to fit into my tiny brain.
I do know that DST was created mainly because so much of the country was agriculturally based. So why the fuck do we still have it now?

Scared Monkeys
Apparently the Aruban government has ordered law enforcement officials to hand over everything to do with the Natalie Holloway investigation to the FBI. Good deal. It has been so long that they may not be able to find anything now, but at least with the help of the FBI there IS a chance.

This was posted to the comments here last night, and although I find fault with some of it, it is a pretty thoughtful post. Looks like a canned response to anyone who supports that Fairtax bill, and I am sure has been posted to more than one website:
So, you support the Fair Tax proposal?
American Constitutional Research Service
7-14-05

It is saddening to learn that there are so many who support the so called fair tax proposal. Perhaps those who support it have not had time to study the proposal in depth, its consequences, and then compare it to our founding father’s original tax plan to raise a federal revenue, which is the tax plan which a freedom loving people would support.

Not only is our founding fathers tax plan based upon a number of principles to disburse the costs of our federal government in a fair and equitable manner, but it also includes a number of necessary checks and balances designed to constantly encourage Congress to adopt sound fiscal and economic policies.

There are a number of half truths and outright inaccuracies being proffered by some of those who support the FT. For example, in an article titled ANSWERING A FAIR TAX QUESTION Neal Boortz wrote:

“It doesn’t matter that paying taxes will be voluntary under the Fair Tax plan. It doesn’t matter that nobody pays the retail sales tax on the basic necessities of life.”

But the truth is, all consumers pay the tax on the basic necessities of life under the so called fair tax. What Neal is referring to when he claims nobody pays tax on the basic necessities of life is the plan’s concocted “family consumption allowance“, a clever part of the proposal which is a monthly check given to each American household by government to offset taxes paid on the basic necessities of life by the household’s members..

In essence, the so called fair tax proposal rations tax-free basic necessities of life by the dollar amount of the family consumption allowance which will be given to each American household, and, the consequences in giving each American household a monthly government check is, it cleverly puts every American household on the government dole and makes the majority of Americans dependant upon this monthly government check. How nice!

What the fair tax proposal promises to do is give Senator Ted Socialist Kennedy a very valuable gift called the family consumption carrot, which he, and his socialist disciples in Congress will promise to increase during election time to buy millions of votes and remain in power, just as these socialists now do with the minimum wage, social security payments, aid to families with dependant children, and even corporate welfare___ the only difference is, the family consumption allowance promises to extend the tentacles of socialism to every American household in America with a monthly government check for their subsistence, completing the socialist takeover of America!

Were we not warned by Hamilton in the Federalist Papers that control over a man’s subsistence is a control over his will?

In addition to making American households dependent upon a monthly government check, the fair tax proposal expands the number of tax gathers to include individual tradesmen and entrepreneurs, and, even ordinary working people engaged in self employment, forcing them to all “register” with folks in government in order to pursue a livelihood [ see SEC. 502. REGISTRATION]. In short, the FT proposal would require these poor souls to become a modern-day regiment of enlisted tax gathers for government, increasing the number of tax gathers throughout the United States to an all time high, and compelling each to maintain burdensome and inquisitorial records and reports under a penalty of perjury [just as is now done with the income tax] to satisfy the wants and fancies of tyrants in government___ all the above to be implemented under the pretext of the “Fair Tax Reform“, a reform which promises to abolish the IRS and income taxation, but in substance and truth will only tighten the iron fist of government around the people’s productivity, while demanding the people to shamefully kneel to the iron fist of government, to receive their monthly government check .

Another glaring defect in the proposed legislation,H.R.25, and, S.1493 is, if adopted by the House and Senate today, legislation which would not bind a future Congress, and, Congress would be free to tinker with the proposal and manipulate it, just as is now done with the current system. It should also be noted that the architects of the Fair Tax proposal, to the best of my knowledge, have yet to propose any specific wording for a constitutional amendment which would, in a constitutional sense. preclude and forbid Congress from laying taxes calculated from “income”. But yet, the fair tax is pimped as a means to end income taxation!

Make no mistake, even if the 16th Amendment was repealed, as the architects of the FT promise, Congress would still have the constitutional authority to impose taxes calculated from income, impose taxes calculated from the profits and gains of corporations, from investments, impose death taxes, inheritance taxes etc., and do so under Congress’ power to lay excise taxes as established in the Flint vs. Stone Tracy Case, which was decided prior to the adoption of the 16th Amendment!

Absent a constitutional amendment being ratified with specific wording to forbid Congress to lay “any” tax calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips etc., i.e, forbid any tax calculated from any lawfully realized money, but which the architects of the FT proposal are suspiciously not promoting, Congress will still maintain the dormant and residual power to calculate taxes from income via its power to lay an excise tax..

Why does Neal and so many others support the adoption of meaningless and unenforceable legislation containing utterances which amount to nothing more than a whimsical promise? Were we not warned by Thomas Jefferson: “In matters of Power, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”?

So what should freedom loving Americans be promoting? A return to our Founding Father’s original tax plan which can be accomplished by a simple amendment to our Constitution to the effect that: The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth prohibited to lay any tax or burden which is calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, etc., i.e, forbid Congress to calculate any tax from any lawfully realized money.

..with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities__.

CNN.com – Homeland Security overhaul centralizes intelligence – Jul 13, 2005
“We appreciated him coming and talking to us, but … at the end of the day you have to show Congress and the public what you have done will in fact make us safer” said Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee.
Hell yes, something a democrat says that I can actually agree with. If the government would just enforce existing laws, and strengthen existing departments instead of creating new gigantic bureaucratic goat fucks they might actually get something done. It CAN be done, as the Minutemen project has shown us.

Divers Come Up Empty in Aruba Search – Yahoo! News
One thing that I have noticed is that since there is no new BIG news that seems to be forthcoming from Aruba, any news about Natalie or the search seems to be getting relegated (sp?) to somewhere other than the front page. I really hope that they don’t let this die down. Regardless of my nasty comments that are supposedly racist (although it is mostly white people that are calling me a racist) I do want to see her found, alive OR dead, so that her family can find some kind of closure.

Couldn’t think of any better title for this post, although that one is kind of weird, it is straight-forward and to the point.
One of the things I have been following lately, besides Natalie Holloway, is the two missing kids, Shasta and Dylan Groene. I read a report early Saturday about Joe Duncan being arrested, but didn’t make the connection until later that day. I had happened on the pictures of Shasta and Dylan on the FBI’s web site at some point last week. One of the things that is mentioned several times on CNN is that Joe Duncan blogged about his life as a sex offender at his web site, fifthnail.com. Don’t bother trying to visit, the web site is no more. Either the provider, godadday.com, or the fbi have taken it down. You can find the cached remains at google though, here, and here. All total I found about 16 pages cached at google, just with a preliminary search, not really digging.
After having read some of it, his skewed perspective bleeds out everywhere in his writing. The dude is fucking sick. Funny thing is, he sounds like a fucking liberal talking about welfare, or class warfare in his writing.
Just did another search on google (similar to the first) on fithnail.com sex, now get 168 links. Looks like the great majority of them are news sites picking up on some of his sick activities. I haven’t surfed much lately, so don’t know if this is being posted about much, but I found it very interesting that at least up until Sunday or Monday, most of the blogs that I read have been strangely silent on this one.
Too bad being drawn and quartered is probably on the list of Cruel and Unusual, becuase that is the kind of punishment that this sick fuck deserves. Considering how cruel and unusual HE is, it just might fit.
