COMMIT THE CRIME DO NO TIME

TOO BIG TO JAIL
Johann Wagener 5-10-13

Rather than jail the criminals we sue the company for money that should go to investors and services.

The suit alleges that Chase engaged in widespread, illegal robo-signing, among other unlawful practices, to commit debt-collection abuses against approximately 100,000 California credit card borrowers over at least a three-year period.

“Chase abused the judicial process and engaged in serious misconduct against California credit card borrowers,” Attorney General Harris said. “This enforcement action seeks to hold Chase accountable for systematically using illegal tactics to flood California’s courts with specious lawsuits against consumers. My office will demand a permanent halt to these practices and redress for borrowers who have been harmed.”

A MESSAGE TO THE UNBELIEVERS



A POPE FOR ALL PEOPLE

Johann Wagener 5-10-13


This pope is a rebel with a cause: to alleviate the suffering of the other 1%, those at the lowest rung of society. It's a mission somehow radical and conservative at the same time. Giving the poor a better lot in life, a foundational principle of Christian faiths, has been drowned out by the din of the culture wars. It brings to mind that quote attributed to Gandhi:


"I like your Christ; I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."


With a reformist pope, things are changing and already, the humbuggery about "family values" has given way to a real issue. Francis is focusing on poverty, which, like death and taxes, is a scourge that will always be with us. By being complacent, we're being complicit, and Pope Francis knows this.


Consider a recent kerfuffle over a statue of a homeless Jesus, which was rejected by the dioceses of New York and Toronto. The sculpture is of a hooded figure asleep on a park bench, his identity only revealed by the stigmata on his bare feet. Maybe the cardinals considered it too uncomfortable a reminder of their own languishing homeless – which I imagine was exactly the point. Francis should put that thing in St Peter's Square.


He even sent a message to "THE UNBELIEVERS" giving a kind word for atheists, calling them allies to "defend the dignity of man", fellow seekers of truth, goodness and beauty.

THE MOTHER OF ALL LEAKS

The Fall of the 1%
Johann Wagener 5-10-13


They can run but there's fewer places to hide. What good is having all the money in the world and no place to spend it without being scorned?

You are not going to read about this or hear it on cable news in the USA because the people who own the media are the same people who are being called out; along with all those who pander to them.


The U.S., British and Australian authorities are working with a gigantic cache of leaked data that may be the beginnings of one of the largest tax investigations in history.
The secret records are believed to include those obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists that lay bare the individuals behind covert companies and private trusts in the British Virgin Islands, the Cook Islands, Singapore and other offshore hideaways.
The hoard of documents obtained by ICIJ represents the biggest stockpile of inside information about the offshore system ever gathered by a media organization.
But the British tax authority claims it has even more data.
The total size of the ICIJ files, measured in gigabytes, is more than 160 times larger than the leak of U.S. State Department documents by Wikileaks in 2010.
A statement from the British tax office puts the size of the data obtained by the three tax authorities at 400 gigabytes, compared to the 260 gigabytes gathered by the ICIJ.
“The 400 gigabytes of data is still being analyzed but early results show the use of companies and trusts in a number of territories around the world including Singapore, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and the Cook Islands,” the British tax office statement said.
“The data also exposes information that may be shared with other tax administrations as part of the global fight against tax evasion.”

MY FIRST KILL

CHILD ENDANGERMENT
Johann Wagener 5-5-13


What is child endangerment?

Child endangerment is the act of causing any harm to the child’s well being mentally and/or physically. Examples of child endangerment include the use of drugs where a child lives, handguns not locked-up and left within the reach of children, being exposed to unsafe environments can all be considered child endangerment.

Adults that give children under 18 liquor or cigarettes are guilty of a criminal act of abuse.

Children under 15 can not drive an automobile

Children under 18 are not allowed to see R-rated movies and children under 13 can not see PG-13 rated movies.

Pornography showing children under 18 is illegal.

And yet manufacturing, marketing, and selling guns and ammunition that are made for children as young as 4 years old is legal and parents or other adults are legally allowed to give these weapons to children.

A single bullet to the chest killed the 2-year-old Kentucky girl shot by her 5-year-old brother clutching a “My First Rifle” — a tragic accident that could lead to charges.

Kristian Sparks shot his sister, Caroline, with a .22-caliber rifle around 1 p.m. Tuesday inside the family’s mobile home in rural Burkesville, Cumberland County. Their mother, Stephanie Sparks, was outside on the porch pouring grease out of a frying pan when she heard the gun go off, Kentucky State Police said.

Cumberland County resident Jeff Booher, 53, said learning how to use a gun is a rite of passage for many children who live in this area of southern Kentucky near the Tennessee border.

Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said the family had not realized a shell was left inside the gun, which was kept in a corner of the house.

The pair's mom was at home when the shot was fired, he added.

Revealing the shooting would be ruled accidental, White added: "It's just one of those crazy accidents."

Meet the A in NRA

It should come as no surprise than an organization hell bent on killing would select such an "A-hole" to lead them. 

It also should come as no surprise that these lunatics would convene a gathering in the hell hole we call Texas where people are so naive they actually believe the BS that gets spewed by a bunch of wing nuts that sound like they have just escaped from an asylum.

Maybe secession is not such a bad idea after all. 


Here's what the media should know about Porter, a conspiracy theorist who calls the Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression" and represents more of the same for the organization:

‘just one of those crazy accidents.’

  THE ASYLUM: For the care of people, especially those with physical or mental impairments, who require organized supervision or assistance. 

Kentucky girl, 2, shot dead by brother, 5, who was playing with gun he'd been given as a gift 
Johann Wagener 5-3-13


                                                                    ACCIDENT? NO!


Any society that condones the manufacturing and sale of guns specifically made for children is sorely lacking in both common sense and morals. Clearly the issue of parental responsibility is at the center of this tragedy. But against the backdrop of the Newtown massacre and ongoing national debate over regulating firearms, it also points back to the big business of guns—including how the industry profits from products aimed at children.
The Pennsylvania-based maker of Crickett rifles, Keystone Sporting Arms, markets its guns with the slogan "My First Rifle." They are available with different barrel and stock designs, including some made in hot pink to appeal to young girls.






CRAZY? YES!



Any parent in their right state of mind would not give 5 yr. old a rifle; especially a loaded one, to play with. 
Kentucky girl, 2, shot dead by brother, 5, who was playing with gun he'd been given as a gift 
Any coroner in their right state of mind would not rule that the killing of a 2 year old child at the hand of this 5yr old was just a “crazy accident” when it was without a doubt a terrible case of child abuse and endangerment.

THE SHOOTER AND HIS TARGET


Caroline Sparks, 2, was killed after being shot by her 5-year-old sibling with his own .22 caliber rifle. The county coroner has ruled the death ‘just one of those crazy accidents.’

OUR RIGHT TO ABUSE OUR CHILDREN

Sarah Palin and the NRA would like you to believe that the 2nd Amendment protects the rights of 5 year old children to own guns.  For those that agree you should consider a padded cell next to Sarah’s.
