Dear Family & Friends,

Click on the link below to see my op ed on the “Likely” Vaccine-Autism Connection.  This appeared in today’s Pensacola News Journal.

I am sure I will be criticized by some of our area pediatricians.  However, I will start listening to them when 1) they actually read the studies—most have not, and 2) they can answer the legitimate criticisms raised in contrarian research and in peer reviews of the CDC-sponsored research they claim demonstrates no causality.

For those who may be unaware, I am the father of a 15-year old, autistic son.  He was developing normally, talking and playing appropriately.  However, after a battery of childhood vaccinations, he regressed into autism.   

Our follow-up research showed he had received enough mercury in his vaccinations to exceed the EPA mercury exposure limits by several hundred times.  We also had his hair tested for mercury. (Hair elements testing is a standard procedure for determining heavy metal exposure.)  This testing revealed our son, like many autistics, is not excreting mercury like a normal child.  In fact, his level of excretion is about one-fifth of normal—again a common trait with many autistics.

Many researchers believe that a certain portion of the population has a genetic predisposition making them unable to ward off heavy metals like most people.  Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines, is 50% ethyl mercury.  And, mercury is one of the worst neurotoxins known to man.

I am not a doctor, although I have two advanced degrees.  On the other hand, I have read every study and peer review on the autism-vaccine controversy that I have been able to find over the past decade.  Contrary to the mainstream medical and media myth, the jury is still out on this subject.  It is my opinion that there is likely a Vaccine-Autism connection.  However, only with time and additional research will we truly know one way or the other.

A close friend called me last night… lost a job.

Another person called me a week ago… lost a job.

A competitors company just folded… lack of business and more lost jobs.

A subhuman that pretends at humanitay called me yesterday… lost a job.

It’s not the ECONOMY stupid, it’s real souls, with lives to live, being raped in public through their wallets, while the elite meet to eat, beat off , and plan their next big rip off of the little people.

Those are tough words for a retired businessman, and retired MSGT to say, but it’s true. Bush and his croney/master Cheney have in connivance with the financial/military industrial trans-nationals taken us all to the cleaners, and left us there for someone else to pick up the tab.

I don’t know about you, but I simply cannot afford the $85,000 that’s my growing portion of our tax deficit ,mostly due to a war that our President lied to us and the world to get started, and does not have the balls to say he screwed up!

Can you afford the impact of this growing tax deficit?…. you will pay it!… thorugh lost buying power!, lost voice in government!, lost jobs!, you will pay!

Like the little girl in the Addams Family movies said…..”Be afraid, be very afraid!” Your elected government lies to you because YOU let them.

All the while, companies are going under due to cash flow issues, no one is buying their products. Yet CEOs are raking in hundreds of millions in bonuses and severance pays from these very companies for doing such great jobs. Stack on this that most of these ultra-millionaires and billionaires pay less taxes than any of us… well I am sorta getting pissed about it.

Our family net worth is a bit over 7 figures, but our net debt is higher so that we can try to keep 50 people employed and able to buy gravy and gasoline.

We are not considered wealthy, so we pay ALL our taxes even with accountants trying to find ways to let us use the loopholes the mega-rich enjoy.

You, and I are getting assfucked by the old purple shaft wrapped in rusty barbwire!

For Gods sake people, vote for something different this time around. I am Independent, I plan on voting all over the spectrum just to fuck with the system and maybe make a few differences.

We probably will be buttfucked by the next administration and the standing congress, but at least let’s choose a different set of sodomists to nail us, variety is the spice of life!

Can ya tell I am having a political moment?

LMAO, serious as hell!

Don’t Monkey Around. Read the Declaration of Independence …. life, liberty etc., and the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.

It’s your right and your responsibility to defend your home and your property. Even though that right is alluded to in the Declaration and the Constitution, that right is from a higher power, almighty god, or your genes, or whatever you want to call it.

Self-defense is sanity, anything else shows a lack of love for the unique creation you are. Own a legal weapon, practice with it legally, and exercise your legal and more importantly “god-given” right to defend yourself from harm or loss. Hitting what you aim at is good gun control!

I believe in gun control.

I always have.

I was raised in a house that believed in gun control. When my dad gave me my first BB gun at six years old, he taught me gun control. When I used to hunt alone at age 10, I used all the gun control I was taught. I never shot something I should not, and I rarely missed.

Now I am older and gun control takes on new meaning. I believe in gun control now more than ever. A legally armed citizen must exercise great amounts of gun control when firing at a perp, if only to guarantee a good solid hit of the target. Gun control is good. Know how to control your gun and hit at what you aim.

Read the Second Amendment. Read the Declaration of Independence… things about right to life, you know silly libertarian garble that our founding fathers so eloquently expressed to the masses. Buy a gun if you don’t have one. Get some training and become a gun control supporter like me!

Do we have an image problem here or is it more? Bikers are just people, bad, average, and great. Journalists on the other hand………..

This is simply a funny story floating around on the internet and MySpace, one of those urban legends that may or may not be true.

One thing is for certain. The next presidential election will be the most important election in the history of the USA, save perhaps the election of Lincoln. Read this funny story, and think about it everytime you read a political headline. The next time a journalist tells you the truth about a candidate, wonder if he has been to a zoo lately!

Me? I think I will have another beer.

unknown author… following story

A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says - Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.

- Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.

- Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s papers will have this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride?

- A Harley Davidson.

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page:

Headline
BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
