After a lifetime of saving for their old age and making all the needed financial arrangements for themselves, my parents "called in" my 30-year-old promise to care for them in their own home the final years of their lives. I became their sole care provider in June 1998. A month after dad’s death in May, 1999, we received an urgent phone call informing us we were "required to appear in probate co

So-called "credit repair" companies claim they can remove negative information from credit reports. Advertising as "Credit Advisors," "Credit Rating Correction Services" or "Credit Consultants," they trumpet variations on this message: "Turned down because of bad credit? We can help!" Many of these companies charge hundreds if not thousands of dollars for the promise to "clean up" bad credit

I was driving home (I took my car today instead of a bike) getting on a freeway going approximately 15 mph merging into a lane. The traffic was slowly moving, lets say at a pace of 5 mph. A police cruiser was among the cars in the lane I was merging into. I passed it [...]

From: The Lie Factory   It's a crisp fall day in western Virginia, a hundred miles from Washington, D.C., and a breeze is rustling the red and gold leaves of the Shenandoah hills. On the weather-beaten wood porch of a ramshackle 90-year-old farmhouse, at the end of a winding dirt-and-gravel road, Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski is perched on a plastic chair, wearing shorts, a purple sweatshirt, and muddy sneakers. Two scrawny dogs and a lone cat are on the prowl, and the air is filled with swarms of ladybugs. So far, she says, no investigators have come knocking. Not from the Central Intelligence Agency, which conducted an internal inquiry into intelligence on Iraq, not from the congressional intelligence committees, not from the president's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Bo

A word of advice for travellers to use a recognised travel company - so they do not get caught in dodgy dealing.The warning follows a police investigation into a New Zealand-based company selling return tickets to Bali online - for flights that do not actually exist.Orewa Police, who are investigating, say at least ten people have paid a thousand dollars by credit card.

Are Americans really afraid that the Mexicans are going to take their land back?Let's face it. This ad gives the opportunity for certain Americans to take umbrage, the new political correctness, but is really about those Americans to get a little fear and bigotry out of their system and call it umbrage.In the end, this boycott will only last so long because most of those Americans would rather get drunk on their favorite vodka than hold onto their alleged principles.

"Brainwashing Our Children," says ClimatologistWilliam Gray, the well-known Colorado State University hurricane forecaster, routinely uses the annual National Hurricane Conference as a platform to bash global warming. In a statement to Florida Today, Gray argued that the scientific consensus on global warming is bogus — and "a mild form of McCarthyism has developed toward those scientists who do not agree" that mankind is in danger.Gray argued that the scientific consensus on global warming is bogus — and "a mild form of McCarthyism has developed toward those scientists who do not agree" that mankind is in danger."We are also brainwashing our children on the warming topic.

Dallas County has taken an aggressive stand against fraudulent vehicle inspections by spearheading efforts to smoke out offenders and by forming a Clean Air Emissions Advisory Board to involve other agencies in the effort. But the county now finds itself the focus of an investigation of bogus inspection stickers after state officials found paperwork discrepancies involving four to seven county vehicles. County officials would not release details of the investigation but said at least one employee of the county’s garage has been suspended while the matter is investigated. “Someone may be either intentionally or negligently changing some information on those stickers,” Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield said Thursday. “We found some private shops doing it. But unfortunatel

The Sai Baba propaganda and misinformation machine continues to make much of a prophesy said to be found “In an ancient Arabic book by name “Mehdi Moud” in which the prophesies made by Prophet Mohammed were recorded many centuries ago, it was mentioned that God Himself would descend on earth in human form…” (quoted from saibabaofindia.com website) See [...]

- Scott Miller As you know, Americans are constantly bombarded with misleading headlines and stories from our mainstream socialist media. This one is so egregious and blatantly misleading it’s quite pathetic: CIA destroyed tapes despite court orders WASHINGTON - The Bush administration was under court order not to discard evidence of detainee torture and abuse months before the CIA destroyed videotapes that revealed some of its harshest interrogation tactic The CIA destroyed the tapes in November 2005. That June, U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy Jr. had ordered the Bush administration to safeguard “all evidence and information regarding the torture, mistreatment, and abuse of detainees now at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay.” U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler issued a nearly identical order that July. At the time, that seemed to cover all detainees in U.S. custody. But Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the terrorism suspects whose interro

On Sunday, December 2, 2007, the mainstream news headlined their news reports with a horrible slaughter story from Iraq. In the reports 13 people were slaughtered by Al-Qaeda and their homes were torched in the village of Dwelah, Iraq.Voices of Iraq even carried the story twice and reported that 8 houses were torched.But... days later, the US cannot find any evidence of this attack after searching the area for several hours!The AP slipped this in their report today:The U.S. military could not confirm Saturday's attack, saying American aircraft searched the area for several hours and found no evidence of the killings.Via Gateway Pundit

Nobody's really sure how many questionable college degrees are out there, how many institutions are producing them or how much money they're making. But now that we know Florida Department of Juvenile Justice Secretary Walt McNeil claims a master's degree from St. John's University in Springfield, La. – an obscure school founded by a hypnotherapist that some experts find worthy of scrutiny (see St. Petersburg Times stories here and here) – it makes you kind of wonder, no? Here are some guesstimates on the money-maker question: According to a recent letter from the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to all 50 governors, available data suggests degree mills are "at least a $500 million enterprise and growing rapidly." Meanwhile, two widely respected degree-mill experts, John Bear and Allen Ezell, say in the subtitle to their 2005 book on the issue that degree mills are "The Billion-Dollar Industry That Has Sold Over a Million Fake Diplomas."

Friends of the Earth filed a complaint with the British Ad Standards Agency after viewing a Shell ad that showed flowers spouting from the chimney of an oil refinery, suggesting the company used all of its CO2 waste for beneficial purposes like flower growing.

In Giuliani's presidential campaign's recent radio ad in New Hampshire, Giuliani speaks of his personal experience with prostate cancer and then cites an ear-grabbing statistic: "My chances of surviving prostate cancer - and thank God I was cured of it - in the United States: 82 percent. My chances of surviving prostate cancer in England: 44 percent." The only problem is it's a complete lie. He didn't even get the 82 percent correct.read more | digg story

The Federal Trade Commission, which has declared war on Internet scams, warned consumers on Monday not to open a bogus e-mail that appears to come from its fraud department because it carries an attachment that can download a virus.The e-mail says it is from "frauddep@ftc.gov" and has the FTC's government seal. But it was not issued by the agency and has attachments and links that will download a virus that could steal passwords and account numbers, the agency said."It's a treasure trove for identity theft," said David Torok of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "We're concerned. The virus that's attached to the e-mail is particularly virulent."Link to complete story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/29/AR2007102901594.html~Sandy G.

It is noteworthy how far devotees will go to try to deceive others that they have experienced Sai ‘miracles’ Why they bother can be explained, for example, by the extra popularity and respect they hope to gain from other blind followers for being ‘blessed by Svami with a special darshan’  and for other selfish reasons. Well, it so happens that the moon on October 23 was not full but was still ’waxing gibbous’, as can be seen from the following image taken from the astronomical website http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/ This shows the moon two days before full moon. Full moon did not occur until Oct 26  04:52, according to NASA.   However, the falsifier who put together the deceptive image presented a completely circular moon. Why would any devotee make such an image of Sai Baba on the moon and circulate it unless it was to create the delusion - one sustained independently by numerous claimants at this location  - that Sai Baba DID actually ap

Copyright warnings - like those "FBI Warnings" on DVDs, stickers on CDs, and warnings flashed during NFL broadcasts - are becoming increasingly common.Trouble is, most of these warnings are blatantly misleading claiming that any and all unauthorized uses are forbidden by law. Of course, copyright has always allowed lots of unauthorized uses, including fair uses. They are also annoying, and in the case of DVDs, unskippable.Last Wednesday, the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), asking the Commission to take a number of major corporations to task for their misleading and intimidating copyright warnings.Targets include: the NFL, Major League Baseball, DreamWorks, Morgan Creek (producers of "The Good Shepherd"), and the book publishers, Harcourt and Penguin.CCIA's also started a petition that will be sent to the FTC - sign it here:http://defendfairuse.org/take_action.htmlRead the CCIA complaint:http://defendfairu

If you have an email account, you probably get some of the same messages I get. The U.S. Department of Justice is warning people about fraudulent SPAM messages claiming to be from DOJ. The message begins, “Dear Citizen.” The message reportedly asserts the recipient is the subject of complaints filed with DOJ, and a case number may even be included. Naturally, the sender thought to include an attachment containing a copy of the complaint and contact info for the recipient. And naturally, your computer may have a meltdown if you open the attachment. I am amazed sometimes at the prospect of people opening such emails, or any of those that immediately go into the trash file at the several email accounts I have. Here’s a sample of subject lines from this morning: [Re] 2: Hello Dear! First Know Thou I Begot Him on the Empress Sexually Explicit! Notification of Limited Account Access (Note: There are at least a dozen more related to the size of a man’s sexual organ; two related to b

The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) wants you to know you may not get what you're paying for when you buy eggs boasting omega-3's for heart health.They believe egg producers are using the omega-3 buzz word to extract higher prices from health conscious consumers, even though their eggs don't stand up to the FDA criteria for heart healthy foods, due to their high cholesterol and saturated fat content. Other egg producers simply mislead you with their fraudulent labeling tactics, such as basing their claims on two eggs, instead of the official serving size of one egg. Or, by using the over-blown claim that their eggs have 25 percent less saturated fat than regular eggs, which amounts to less than half a gram--a pretty paltry difference.The seven egg producers included in the CSPI's complaint include: Land O Lakes' Omega-3 All-Natural eggs Eggland's Best Safeway Specialty 3 eggs Gold Circle Farms The Country Hen Full Spectrum Farms Eggs really are on

I am glad to see that this issue is being addressed by several companies. Trip Advisor employs a team of fraud investigators using software to highlight inconsistencies in reviews. Hotels found guilty of gerrymandering will be named and shamed and their popularity ranking will drop. I do think that you require appropiate deterents in place to discourage dishonest reviews. It seems quite just that by trying to get undeserved favourable publicity the tables are turned and the cheats get negative publicity instead.
