Harvard prof wants docs to put humanity into practice
Let’s get physical
By Jessica Fargen / Making the rounds

Dr. Samuels says doctors "lost sight of the reason they became doctors.” Oh? Like lawyers, police and politicians many people choose to become a doctor to make a lot of money, to have prestige and power. Has Dr. Samuels not learned that by now? I was horrified to learn that lesson when I was a student in law school. People need to seek out integrity. It would be easier if all the greedy professionals were required to wear signs saying, "I am not doing this to help others."
WheresTheOutrage
One of the people commented that people become Dr.s to be rich and have prestige and power as opposed to helping people. First off becoming a Dr. isn’t easy, it requires a lot of brainpower, years of study, hours and hours of on the job training and massive amounts of money for the tuition. That’s just to become a Dr. Once you are a Dr. there is a practice to be built, an office to lease, equipment to purchase, insurance to buy, staff to hire...and you wait for that first patient to come in. [this rant continued for several paragraphs.]

platousa, police choose their job to make a lot of money?? Base pay of 40-50k Cmon, and spare me the detail crap, it runs hot and cold for them.
Hello WheresTheOutrage. So you say that ALL doctors are altruistic? I don't think so. You never read about the Medicaid mills? Selling body parts? Lots of problems not reported in the media. AMA is very strong and hires PR firms.
Hello bobbyschmautz. Police salaries (in Boston?) are 40-50 k? Some police sell their badges? They make money not arresting guilty people, and by arresting innocent people as favors. They make money changing the names of persons arrested. They make money losing files, evidence, and by selling evidence. There are many ways to earn large money with a badge. The good cops don't snitch on their mercenary colleagues. FBI agents can make more money as we saw with the James Bulger coalition of police and FBI.

Upper Class Affirmative Action
Miller omits the trust fund babies. Bernie O discusses one case, whether or not it is BDS. Some people born into wealth get the opportunities to be greedy at levels to which others are not admitted. It is a form of familial affirmative action. Real affirmative action depends on the person being helped subscribing to the policies and programs of the upper class providers. What role does self interest play in all of these programs, plans and economic classes?
[Quotes from article.]
"And what if to fix our economy right now we actually have to get over the idea that people end up where they deserve to?"
"Adam Smith argued that the spending of the wealthy was actually an engine of economic activity and employment. Next came the narrative that economic status did have moral connotations. Napoleon, this idea’s exemplar, loathed his era’s “imbeciles and hereditary asses.” And in Britain and the United States, these new impulses combined with Charles Darwin’s theories to yield the ugly (but for rich people, quite gratifying) philosophy of economic survival of the fittest."
"pervasive and institutionally administered belief in meritocracy, via the rise of intelligence testing, the SAT, and the all-consuming college admissions craze. Over time, it became an article of faith that those with “merit” in these narrow terms would deservedly enjoy the best of society’s material rewards."
"The best-performing gerbils on the treadmill are learning that working hard, acing every test, attending top colleges, and succeeding in their chosen profession is no longer the path to the topmost ranks of wealth and influence."

[Comments on The Daily Beast under this story.]
By Rob Taylor
“the real reason Western Civilization is on the decline and con artist were bale to take investors for all they had. We live in a culture of where actual knowledge is ignored and populist drivel is considered brilliant.”
By BernieO
Claiming our country is a meritocracy is a smokescreen created by conservatives to decry things like affirmative action which help the unwashed masses get a shot at success. The same conservatives have no problem with affirmative action for the rich.
[. . .]
Bush - and his family - are some of the more visible examples of the way our system really works. People with little or no talent frequently rise to the top due to their powerful, wealthy connections. Once there, they work hard to make sure truly talented, unconnected people are kept out of the inner circle.

Pope Benedict Warns of Eugenics Based on Beauty
With a long history of eugenics in Massachusetts this warning should be focused on the Universities in the Bay State. Formerly persons accused of mental illness and other illnesses were kept from having children. The Massachusetts programs were so efficient that Adolf Hitler praised the Massachusetts medical community. Many elite members of the Harvard Community believe in upper class dominance and superior genes. They do not define what superior is, only that they have them.

Puff Politics
Amartya Sen in Development as Freedom says two elements are essential for a democracy to thrive. A strong two-party system and a free press that keeps voters informed. Massachusetts has neither. Bernstein describes superficial attributes of DeLeo’s appointees saying they are “all under the age of 45.” (DAVID S. BERNSTEIN, “Youth infusion,” Boston Phoenix,
February 19, 2009)
He suggests that DeLeo will not require them to “follow orders from command central.” He quotes DeLeo who shares Bernstein’s view that women “have been untapped resources.” How is young age any measure of integrity? Does youth necessarily coexist with intelligence, wisdom or reason?
Young politicians are as venal as older ones. Young people in Massachusetts are as cynical as older persons and at least as corrupt.
Bernstein says “Boston-area senators made out well.” Really? What experience does Anthony Galluccio have with agriculture? Do the community gardens in Cambridge qualify? ,
How does this article help the voter understand who is not corrupt? Which of these officials are in it for self benefit? Which occasionally vote for the public good?
Why waste the scarce newsprint on puff pieces like this?

This is good news for the Cambridge Department of Human Services.

Many academic experts would otherwise be unemployed if they did not get hired to study this problem, over and over again and again.

Writer says, 'I have seen how 'Si Se Puede' has been adopted by people in social movements around the world.' Did you notice how it was adopted by upper class elitists at Harvard to get Obama, a child of the ruling class elected? Elitists are clever using spin doctors to make up, down and down, up. Pity the poor underprivileged Obama, whose father was finance minister for Kenya and who was adopted by the son of one of the biggest gangsters in America. US Senator Edward Kennedy brought Obama's father to Harvard before Obama Jr. was born. Si Se Puede. Indeed.

Dangerous Leaders
I agree that anti-semitism is dangerous for Jews. Yet the sanctuary formed in 1948 to allow Jews a refuge from anti semitism is now called dangerous to Jews. Perhaps Jews should hide in Egypt, Iran, Syria or Saudi Arabia. Good thinking. I'm more concerned with the dangerous leaders in Washington DC, Beacon Hill and City Hall. These delightful experts brought us the greatest economic catastrophe since the great depression. We are expected to believe that the same people who brought it to us will fix it.

Councilor Prohibitions
Writer says, 'The Area 4 Coalition asks that the City Manager and City Council use their good offices to urge the Planning Board to delay granting MIT a special permit.' State law prohibits the City Council from interacting directly with any city employees or appointees except for informational purposes. The Council can only request the City Manager to interact. Request are what they call 'orders.' It would be a serious violation of state law for any councilor to try to influence the Planning Board. That fact that many City Councilors do this often does not make it legal. It only shows that the city government is run by lawless officials.

Reading is Dangerous
J. Edgar Hoover recognized the dangers of reading books. People get ideas. Then they talk about them and write about them. They start asking questions and cause all kinds of trouble in a peaceful Conformist loving city like Cambridge. The City Manager knows best. Better to give money to MIT and to Harvard and to prevent trouble in this city by the Charles, by keeping the number of hours for library access down to a minimum. People can watch television or listen to their iPods or MP3s. No need to read books. Don't worry, be happy!

They start asking questions and cause all kinds of trouble in a peaceful Conformist loving city like Cambridge. The City Manager knows best. Better to give money to MIT and to Harvard and to prevent trouble in this city by the Charles, by keeping the number of hours for library access down to a minimum. People can watch television or listen to their iPods or MP3s. No need to read books. Don't worry, be happy!

Here is a cheap temporary solution to give people a place of their

It is shocking that Gov. Sarah Palin of the "sparsely populated" state is human. She has flaws! Did she pay taxes unlike the Treasury Secretary and the beautiful people of the Abomination administration? Alaska has more people than North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. It is the largest state in land area with lots of valuable minerals and resources. But it is not New York with all of those beautiful people. Alaska has a lot of small towns with ordinary people, unlike the upper class small-minded elitists who run DC.

Citizens demonstrate against the porkulous bill, that Obama says has no earmarks. He may need an eye test not being able to see all of the earmarks in that bill. Since Obama and all congressman and senators did NOT read the bill it enables all of them to say whatever they want since they have not read it. Obama seems to be saying, “Who you gonna believe?

More Academic Same Sex Censorship
This discussion is difficult due to the infantile inability of many supporters of same sex marriage. They never learned how to disagree rationally. Because a Christian says their religion prohibits homosexual sex and same sex marriage does not mean that they hate. It is a different belief. Promoters of same sex marriage refuse to allow disagreements. They are intolerant. It is shameful that academics at major universities abridge the concept of free expression an essential element in searching for and finding truths.

One-man Rule
[This letter was published in the online edition of the Cambridge Chronicle, on February 18, 2009.]
The City of Cambridge, run by one un-elected man, has an unlawful policy of hindering release of public information. Previous cases when the Office of Public Records ordered the city to release documents the same one-man government ignored the order. Few requesters have the stamina to pursue a lawsuit to obtain information. That is the reason for the City Manager's policy. The Manager makes a judgment based upon the likelihood of a person or persons to sue. The city ignores inconvenient city, state and US laws and the Constitution. When the Cambridge Chronicle requested the questions used to interview employees regarding their THOUGHTS, the state ordered that information released also. The Manager simply ignored the order. The Chronicle did not sue.

Narrow view on Racism
Narrow view on Racism
Why feel “a measure of guilt” and “annoyed that you feel guilty” for slavery in the US, even though you and your parents were not alive when there was slavery? (ADAM REILLY, “Black like him?” Boston Phoenix, February 11, 2009)
Obama’s race is not an easy question. Is he black, half-white or African American? Cambridge City Councilor Ken Reeves reminded Emily Rooney on PBS that Obama is half white.
Some Africans have as much animosity toward American blacks as white racists. Some Africans oppose interracial marriage as vehemently as some white Americans. Racism among American blacks is not discussed; neither toward each other, nor toward white people.
What does Reilly mean by “a more traditional black candidate?” Would that be a person who sounds and looks like a poor black American? Why do college educated black Americans focus their time on accumulating tokens and power just like white people? How are they any different from white politicians and white lawyers?
This article does not discuss Obama’s integrity. What does it matter what his skin color is, or who his parents are if he is a lying forked tongue politician just like all the rest?
Most importantly why the limited focus on white racism toward blacks? Many groups suffer unlawful discrimination. If it is due to slavery, why no focus on anti Jewish sentiments? Jews were murdered wholesale by the German government? Did the US government ever have a policy or program to kill black people? Why is there no guilt among non Jews for that abuse?
In February 2009 a prominent TV Host on a PBS station (hint: Her initials are ER) openly stated that it is acceptable to ignore a person because he is regarded as having a disability? There were no objections from any of the alleged media critics, who agreed that it is OK to ignore such persons. Why the hypocrisy?

Add this to the five nominees of Obama who had tax problems it shows that he is not dedicated to the rule of law as he says. He shows no conscience for open lies and deceptions and has no shame when confronted with his distortions.
He is all words and indicates that he believes that by giving speeches he will be able to have his way because he won.

Wonder No More
Wonder No More
If you wonder why local police, state officials and the US government refuse to investigate electronic stalking, or other institutionalized abuses, wonder no more. The government is either a part of the criminal enterprise or they are obtuse. This is not the only criminal activity that affects thousands to which government employees closed their minds.
An informative news report broadcast on CBS Evening News with Katie Couric tells of a man who reported the fraud of Bernie Madoff to the SEC for ten years. The SEC ignored him. Madoff is the perpetrator of a $50 billion dollar fraud on individual and institutional investors across the US.
“The SEC failed to act despite receiving credible allegations of fraud from Markopolos about Madoff's operations over a decade.”

Lawmaker: SEC Impeding Madoff Probe
Chairman Of House Committee Investigating Fraud Calls Agency's Lack Of Cooperation An "Abuse Of Authority"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2009
If you wonder why local police, state officials and the US government refuse to investigate electronic stalking, or other institutionalized abuses, wonder no more. The government is either a part of the criminal enterprise or they are obtuse. This is not the only criminal activity that affects thousands to which government employees closed their minds.

Stanley Kutler says, “Please, I’m a trained historian. I don’t work that way.” And his critics are not trained historians who do work that way? (PATRICIA COHEN, “John Dean’s Role at Issue in Nixon Tapes Feud,” The New York Times, January 31, 2009) Kutler does not answer the substantive charges. He undermines his own position by claiming personal privilege.
Some persons within the Nixon administration were too willing to participate in discrediting the President. Dean, McCord, and others had pivotal positions and did not support the President as others in the administration did. Why were Dean and McCord so anxious to give up their boss? According to Colodny the first break-in (there were two) was to retrieve an address book with Dean’s phone number in it. How does Kutler explain that?
The last thing a “pre-eminent historian” will admit is “I’m wrong.” In some circles, prestige trumps truth. Is this one?

Illegal Police Power?
Illegal Police Power?
Do MIT police have legal authority to make traffic stops? (Meghann Ackerman, “Cambridge man cuffed after allegedly stealing car while drunk,” Cambridge Chronicle, February 03, 2009) As special state police officers they are empowered to make arrests on their campus. Under informal (illegal) agreement with the city police they can make arrests 'near' their campus and hold the suspects for the Cambridge police. This informal agreement is denied by the city. Is the Sunoco station part of the MIT campus? The actions described by this report do not sound as if they are a legal use of the police power of the state. As for the residence of the suspect, isn't that the headquarters for the City Republican Party? Not reporting the political affiliation of the suspect suggests that he is a Democrat. Nor do we know if this alleged auto thief is a citizen, thanks to the City Manager's sanctuary City policy.

Where to Put the Cameras
Where to Put the Cameras
One surveillance camera must be placed into the City Manager's office, another in the City Council's buffet room. (Jillian Fennimore, “Cambridge City Council: We don't need Big Brother watching us,”
Cambridge Chronicle, February 03, 2009) The City dispatchers already have too much power thwarting citizen access to police and emergency vehicles. They often are not trained in the First Amendment rights of citizens to have access to police protection. The dispatchers often make decisions about what is a crime and who they should believe, openly discriminating based upon disability. This is a long term abuse that the City Manager refuses to address. The dispatchers often illegally divert calls to Harvard in order to ensure some abuses will NOT be corrected. If the surveillance cameras give more decision making authority to these ill trained dispatchers that is another rational argument against their deployment.

It's all in you mind. We are told, "the governor and his administration feel that no one cares and no one's watching and they can get away with this." It is not just the Governor who feels that way. All the politicians know that no one cares. If they do care they get some love from the character assassination squad where they live. No sleep for a few years will teach them to recognize the propriety of all government actions. "The center's spokesman, Angus McQuilken [described] a transparent conflict of interest policy is strictly adhered to by all of our Board members." ALL Board Members, do you hear me?

Integrity, not Efficiency
When a state government agency recommends dissolving itself, you know there are serious problems there. (Michael Virtanen, AP, “Stupor-gate,” New York Post, January 23, 2009, Page 2) The Albany County DA and the Commission on Public Integrity failed to perform their duties. Cuomo’s investigation was not “duplicative.”
Lacking subpoena power Cuomo revealed that Spitzer’s office was wrong. If efficiency is the goal one agency is sufficient. But one agency can easily be compromised as two state agencies were under Spitzer. The objective should be integrity. All structures can be corrupted. People with integrity, who do their job as Cuomo did his, are the goal.

Will Obama and his supporters end the teaching of hatred toward America and Israel in Madrasses across the world from Morocco to Indonesia?
When George Bush had a favorability rating in the 80 percentiles, Hillary Clinton and the ACLU promoted the idea that dissent is patriotic. Now anyone who disagrees with Obama is designated mean-spirited.
Some young people pledged to serve Obama at the Inauguration on January 20,2009. Is this where 200 years of Constitutional rule led? Now it is a nation of a cult of a man?

You received a bogus response from the National Center for Victims of Crime (NCVC). Either that, or they don't bother reading the Department of Justice (NIJ) reports which they advertise on the NCVC site.
The NCVC posted a link to a DoJ Bureau of Justice
Special Report entitled "National Crime Victimization
Survey: Stalking Victimization in the United States,"
covering a 12-month period commencing in 2006.
See: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/svus.pdf
This is, in fact, the very report that received so
much publicity in the news recently ("an estimated 3.4 million stalking victims!").
If you look at the tables in this report, especially
at Table 5 on page 4 ("Victim-offender relationship in stalking and harassment") and at Appendix Table 3 on page 12 ("Number of stalking offenders perceived by
victim"), you'll find the following:
* An average of 10.6 percent of some 4.6 million
stalking and harassment victims don't know the
stalkers, since they're complete strangers.
* An average of 16.9 percent of the same 4.6 million
victims have no idea who is doing the stalking
(strangers or otherwise).
* 13.1 percent of 3.4 million victims claim to be
stalked and harassed by "3 or more" stalkers.
* 6.5 percent of 3.4 million victims can't say
precisely just how many people are stalking them.
That sounds like organized stalking to me.
The DoJ is also on top of the problems faced by
stalking and harassment victims when they try to report these crimes to the police. Take a look at the other tables in this report. The police dismiss the
complaints, treat the victims as crazy, don't make
reports, ...and all of the other crap which TIs have
reported in their dealings with the police.
You have a basis for asking the NCVC why they have
ignored this DoJ Special Report, Eleanor.

stalking and harassment victims don't know the
stalkers, since they're complete strangers.
* An average of 16.9 percent of the same 4.6 million
victims have no idea who is doing the stalking
(strangers or otherwise).
* 13.1 percent of 3.4 million victims claim to be
stalked and harassed by "3 or more" stalkers.
* 6.5 percent of 3.4 million victims can't say
precisely just how many people are stalking them.
That sounds like organized stalking to me.
The DoJ is also on top of the problems faced by
stalking and harassment victims when they try to report these crimes to the police. Take a look at the other tables in this report. The police dismiss the
complaints, treat the victims as crazy, don't make
reports, ...and all of the other crap which TIs have
reported in their dealings with the police.
You have a basis for asking the NCVC why they have
ignored this DoJ Special Report, Eleanor.

Does Diversity in the White House Press corps matter?
Emily Rooney daughter of 60 Minutes personality, Andy Rooney, and Host of Greater Boston, asks Should networks look to diversify their White House press reporting staff?
She said “the majority of the White House press corps is white.” The majority of the population of the country is white. The majority of the world is non-white. 16 percent of the world is white.
She mentioned Howard Kurtz’ column “Pallid to the Corps,” in the Washington Post, January 12, 2009. [Title changed online to “A Pale Reflection of America.”]
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/11/AR2009011102157_pf.html
and Jeff Jacoby’s January 14, 2009, column in the Boston Globe “Why should a journalist’s race matter?”
http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2009/01/14/why_should_a_journalists_race_matter/
Jacoby asks, “But why should it matter to anyone but a racist whether a White House reporter is black or white? Well, says Michael Fletcher, a colleague of Kurtz's, ‘you would want to have black journalists there to bring a different racial sensibility.’ [. . .] [Jacoby asks,] ’Do you know of any news organizations that are fretting over the “relative paucity” of evangelicals, Southerners, or Republicans on their payrolls?’”
Why are there no reporters with disabilities? To rephrase the question who cares about the paucity of persons with disabilities among the White House press corps?
Rooney said “it is something that is always true about discussions that go on in newsrooms across America. There’s always something that somebody of a different racial or ethnic background would think of that somebody else wouldn’t.”
Who speaks for persons with disabilities? That is what I’ve been complaining to Rooney about her show for a few years. Her response was to ban me from Boston. She has yet to have on a person to describe the perspective of being accused of having a psychiatric disability. Her guests include psychiatrists who boast of how great their drugs are. To Rooney access to treatment is what rights are about. Not the Constitutional Rights enjoyed by others just treatment.
Cassie Crossley, woman of color commentator said “it’s not about objectivity, it’s about fairness. There are different perspectives, which give a fuller picture,” she said. This is the “browning of America,” she added. “We are representative of what America is all about.” She added, “The White House Press corps should look like America.”
There are more persons with disabilities than there are persons of color. But to Crossley color trumps other categories. If brown color brings a fuller picture, what does no persons with disabilities bring?
If being representative of America is essential why are there no persons with disabilities among the White House Press Corps? Why is this not an issue for Rooney, Crossley or the other pundits on her show and elsewhere?
Joe Sciacca Boston Herald reporter, said, “politics should be color blind. If we say only African Americans can cover Barack Obama’s administration that is tokenism. Networks will appoint someone because of the color of his skin.” Does that mean that there are no persons with disabilities who are qualified to be a White House reporter?
Dan Kennedy, Journalism professor at Northeastern University whose daughter has a disability, said, people “do want that diversity and range and perspective and background. And it isn’t just let’s have more African American reporters. It’s let’s have more reporters from a variety of different ideologies and personal backgrounds.” Why is this not an issue for reporters with disabilities?
Kara Miller, reporter for the Metro West Daily News, said, “this is an issue not just for the White House press corps. It matters for the Sunday night news and for local news too. Same thing applies to persons with disabilities. How many local TV, radio, and print journalists have disabilities? Moreover, persons with physical disabilities are often as biased against persons accused of psychiatric illness as “normal” people.”
Cassie Crossley added “It’s been an issue not just for Barack Obama.” Yes, and disabilities being absent from the minds of reporters has been an issue with Rooney and all other media outlets for the same period of time.

Hate Speech for Me, not for Thee?
Hate Speech for Me, not for Thee?
It is difficult to distinguish between being clueless about hate speech, and intentional propaganda. (ADAM REILLY, “Toxic talk: Hating Obama,” Boston Phoenix, January 15, 2009) Any response to this one-sided essay should include that Bush was hung in effigy too.\
Why stop treating only “rabid right-wingers as benign?” What about rabid left-wingers? Who decides “what they’re actually saying?” Why does Columbia’s Michael Massing demand that only “responsible conservatives [. . .] condemn rhetorical overkill on the right?” What about responsible liberals condemning rhetorical overkill on the left?
Is it a “fact that Obama wasn’t really born in the United States?” Why doesn’t he just show his birth certificate to end the wonder and skepticism? Why is it a problem?
Why is it “pernicious” to state the obvious that “the New Deal [was] a failure?” It was. If “rooting against the president, [is] rooting against our collective interests as Americans,” why was the vile and venomous rhetoric against George Bush not condemned?
Where is the evidence that “vaguely imagined fears [. . .] are going to be mitigated, time and again, by factual evidence to the contrary;” and that “hard-core racists will keep on hating.” Then Obama will not be able to reconcile the country as he promised.
Where was all of this concern for rational discourse toward the President during the past 8 years?

Emotionally disturbed are violent?
It is troubling that the Columbia President was assaulted. But it is also troubling that he believes that the assault occurred because the person "was under psychiatric treatment." Does Columbia's President believe that all persons "under psychiatric treatment" are violent? That is stereotyping which the President would never tolerate toward other groups of vulnerable persons. What explains Bollinger's venomous attitude toward persons with disabilities? The statement issued by the Office of Public Affairs is no less offensive. Is it official university policy that emotionally disturbed persons (persons with disabilities) are known to be violent too? What happened to treating all persons equal? Are only black persons, homosexuals, women and illegal aliens entitled to equal protection of the laws?

MSNBC Continues to Bash Gov. Palin
MSNBC Continues to Bash Gov. Palin
Seldom mentioned is that Gov. Sarah Palin is a reformer not just a politician who talks about reform. That generates fear among liberals and their journalist apologists, who are as venal as politicians and voters. Palin walks the walk. Those with relaxed rectitude try to discredit her. Palin said she reads the Alaska papers and The New York Times. She is Governor of Alaska not New York. Lack of historical knowledge is a problem for too many journalists, who have skills with no historical context. It makes for an uninformed electorate that elects criminals and incompetents. Goebbels and Edward Bernays would approve of what Axelrod did. But the country will suffer. Obama is involved with three scandals (Blago, Richardson and Hsu) before taking the oath of office. Where is the outrage?

The Conformist Party troops were out in force to praise the Chairman Emeritus of the Cambridge chapter.
unquietsoul
It would be nice if the Chronicle would announce these sorts of public meetings well in advance before they occur so the citizens actually know about them and can try to attend to present their views, opinions and reaction to this sort of thing.
By not covering these events before hand you are doing your readership and the city a disservice.
Roy Bercaw
'unquiet soul' says, 'It would be nice if the Chronicle would announce these sorts of public meetings.' Concerned citizens need to learn what law requires cities to do. Cambridge Chronicle is a private citizen under law and has no power over government. Read the open meetings law. See how lax the city is in obeying that law. Then visit the City's website and the city clerk's office. If you want to learn how government works forget about psychiatry and making diagnoses. Law is the standard not personal opinion. In Massachusetts Democrats do what they want to do 'because they can' ignore laws and voters. Cambridge is run by the Conformist Party of Massachusetts. The City Manager decides and lets you think your vote counts.

Whose Interests?
Whose Interests?
The assumption of the article is faulty. (David S. Bernstein, “Political Virgins,” Boston Phoenix, January 9, 2009, News, Page 11) Bernstein provides no evidence for his sweeping statement “Everyone in Massachusetts wants to be represented on Beacon Hill by someone with clout, someone with connections and the power to step in and fight for his or her home district’s interests.”
Voters want to believe that their representative is not a crook. Individuals are more concerned about their own interests rather than the interests of the district. The representatives are concerned with the district in order to get re-elected. A problem is that lobbyists and campaign contributors have access to the reps, not needy citizens .
Bernstein writes from the perspective of the politicians. Has he become lost among the trees and no longer can see the forest?

[Five comments under this article all support street security cameras.] The Conformist Party speaks, 'We want security not freedom!' Washington Post reports that US Army deployed a brigade on Oct. 1, 2008 to assist local authorities. [One comment suggested that the cost of the cameras is not from the City tax base.] This is funded by the money tree too. Cameras help solve crime. [One comment suggested that cameras deter crime.] They do not deter or prevent crime. Do criminals think, 'Wait. Am I on TV? Maybe I shouldn't do this?' Cameras in jails, police stations and on patrol cars catch officers beating suspects. [One comment stated that the ACLU is run by criminals.] If the ACLU is run by criminals why not put cameras in their homes and offices? 'Through the wall' technology makes it easy to watch and to listen to civilians in their homes. US Supreme Court says (US v Kyllo) it is an illegal entry. Has that ever stopped criminal officials or crime families?

Obama's Consumer Tech Experts
Technology here is only consumer communications. High tech military weapons to discredit and to control critics is not discussed. Communication technology can give the appearance of access while shutting out ordinary citizens. Citizens can contribute public service without asking the White House, which like celebrities will use it for photo opportunities. Citizen input regarding quality of schools will NOT happen until teachers unions no longer exist. Unreliable Wikipedia entries are the standard for information? Ahem! Tech savvy wealthy professionals are politically naive to believe Honest Barack is not like the rest of the politicians. Honest Abe Lincoln was an ordinary man with acute political skills. Obama is a great speaker and a Harvard elitist. How much longer will his speaking ability hide his lack of decision-making ability and his lack of substance? What will Obama reveal about high tech military weapons used for surveillance, harassment, to discredit, to censor and to control citizen critics? During the campaign he excluded Fox News from his plane.

John H. Davis (Jackie "O's" cousin) published "Mafia Kingfish" in 1989 exposing the same facts and more. (Liz Smith, "JFK ASSASSINATION 'CONFESSION,'" New York Post, January 6, 2009) In the name of good the FBI misled all Americans including children of the Kennedys. What are they doing today to keep American voters uninformed so that they elect criminals? Robert and Jack Kennedy were sons of a bootlegger who used mob connections to get JFK elected. Robert Kennedy's "massive war against the Mafia" excluded crime families that supported JFK. It was an abuse of power and betrayal that got the Kennedys killed. The families that supported JFK's political operations killed those involved in the murder of JFK. The FBI ignored reports of plans to kill JFK saying the informants were mentally ill. So much for respect for persons with disabilities by the FBI. Ahem!

John Connolly still does not get it. At this point it does not matter if he is guilty or not. He is the scapegoat. Boston FBI agents use their influence to ensure that Connolly goes down for their corruption. Dimwitted voters can accept one corrupt FBI agent. They are incapable of recognizing that the entire bureau is run by organized crime. Today FBI agents demand favors from citizens to investigate crimes by gambling rings and drug rings.

Watchdogs Have Become Lapdogs
Mary Boyle, spokeswoman for the watchdog group Common Cause, said public service needs to remain competitive to maintain talent. “Many of these people could be making much more in the private sector.” Here's evidence that "watchdog groups" are now lapdogs for politicians. Journalists give these venal people a forum for self promotion at the expense of ordinary citizens. $4,700 is about six months of income for persons with disabilities. Typically pols serve themselves and wealthy Harvard elitists in Massachusetts. Visitors can easily see how dimwitted voters are.

So that he can hit the ground running (from investigators?) Obama brings institutionalized corruption from Chicago into the White House before taking the oath of office. He is now connected to three scandals of malfeasance. Obama the honest pol (I’m different from all the rest) from Chicago with great speaking ability, demonstrates he can fool enough of the voters long enough to get elected. Will he ever provide evidence that he is a natural born citizen? Will his speaking ability provide enough cover for his lack of decision-making ability, his lack of policy-making ability and his lack of substance?

Honest Magic Barack. The Chicago Pol
Honest Magic Barack. The Chicago Pol
[On January 4, 2009 Gov. Bill Richardson withdrew his name from nomination for Commerce Secretary. He is currently under investigation for questionable campaign contributions. Obama is now connected to three scandals before taking the oath of office.]
Saying that the entire Republican Party is racist because of a comedy song about race, is like saying that Obama is a black racist and anti semitic because he belonged to a church led by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The word racism needs to be defined for each use. Everyone has a different meaning. Criticizing black people, ridiculing black politicians does not make another a racist. Why was it acceptable to call Bush a Nazi and equate him to Hitler? The most vile hatred was uttered by liberal Democrats toward a sitting president. Obama is caught up in two scandals (Blagojevich & Hsu) before taking the oath of office. Racism will be a minor concern for this Chicago politician.

City Manager, Development and Triple A Bonds
The writer says, 'its time for the mayor and the City Council [. . .] to ensure J. F Whites accountability.' What the City Council thinks is immaterial and irrelevant. The City Manger alone has the statutory authority to make contracts. The City Manager is responsible for the doubling of the costs of city construction projects. The City Manager boasts of the 'successful' projects he oversees. (See Howie Carr and 'Don't Kill the Job.') These abuses will continue as long as clueless citizens focus on the impotent City Councilors who play 'Love Me More,' each week on TV. Ask the Manager about the Triple A Bond rating. Did he reveal that the NY State AG investigates the three rating agencies for fraud; that all three rating agencies gave Triple A ratings to worthless Credit Default Options that led to the financial collapse of the nation?

Self-Serving Psychiatrists
Self-Serving Psychiatrists
This report is laughable. It shows how arrogant, deceptive and parochial psychiatrists are. Some of them are saying, "If this is true why don't I know about it?" It is like the group who only believes what is written in the New York Times is true and believes nothing that does not appear there. Compare these reports to the complaints by residents of the Fernald School in Waltham, MA. They called the US Dept of Energy which was conducting illegal human experiments. The Energy Dept. employees called the residents "the crazies." See Michael D'Antonio's "Atomic Guinea Pigs," NYTimes Magazine, August 31, 1997, and his book, "State Boy's Rebellion." See also Fred Verba who escaped from Auschwitz to reveal what the Nazi doctors were doing to the Jews. When he got to Hungary, the Jewish leaders did not believe him. They would have heard about that like the psychiatrists today. One definition of paranoia is seeing things that others do not see. That does not mean that they are not there. Only that others cannot see them, or pretend not to see them. The concern of mental health professionals is that something may be happening that they did not classify as a mental illness. They need to act quickly so that they can bill insurance companies for this newly made up illness. Today Galileo, St. Bruno and Copernicus would be declared mentally ill for their views that the earth was not the center of the universe. What psychiatrist would believe them? Saying that "experts" see a similarity with claims of alien abductions shows how irrational the experts and the journalists are. What is the connection? That the experts do not believe them? It is one more effort to discredit the victims of criminal abuse. MA has a state law which makes possession of such electrical weapons a felony. See MA General Laws Chapter 140, Section 131 J.
http://www.mass.gov/legis/laws/mgl/140-131j.htm
The New York Times quotes the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, a drug company lobbyist. NAMI promotes more funding for more drug treatment. Use of electrical devices for treatment is reported being tested on persons accused of mental illness. See Dr. Keith Ablow, "Stimulating Happiness," New York Post, October 28, 2008, page
http://www.nypost.com/seven/10282008/entertainment/health/stimulating_happiness_135589.htm
Acoustic weapons and electromagnetic weapons are examples of experimental less lethal anti personnel weapons being developed for military use. The US government has a long history of unlawful non consensual testing on human subjects. Spies, organized crime families and psychologists have used such weapons for harassment and for control for at least 40 years in this country. See Jose Delgado's experiments in the 1960s.

Alex Jones Laments Use of Electrical Weapons
Alex Jones Laments Use of Electrical Weapons
Massachusetts has a Firearms statute which makes it a felony to possess or to sell electrical weapons. Mass General Laws Chapter 140 Section 131 J.
http://www.mass.gov/legis.laws/mgl/140-131j.htm
In 2001 I wrote a bill to enhance the penalties. My bill did not pass, but subsequently the legislature did enhance the penalties. Local police are not trained to enforce that law. They demand evidence of use, which is not in the statute. Police and FBI informants, and members of organized crime use these weapons for harassment and provocation. Just ignore the clueless or complicit who attribute mental illness. The laws on discrimination state that it does not matter if a person is mentally ill or not. If they are denied access to government services it is a violation of law. Saying that a crime victim is mentally ill shows that the accuser believes it is OK to ignore persons with disabilities and to abuse such persons. They are sociopaths, and that includes the psychiatrists, the politicians, the judges and the police.
"The government publicly claims that these 'directed energy
weapons,' or 'D.E.W.', are still in the experimental stage, or
that working equipment is large and bulky."
These are two of many deliberate lies promulgated by US Agencies. If these weapons are experimental then the US Government is conducting an unlawful human experiment as they've done dozens of times over 80 years. Often these experiments are conducted by university oversight with no approval from the statutory Institutional Review Boards. This violates US Law, Title 45 CFR 46, called the common rule, which applies to 17 US agencies that conduct human experiments. As such it jeopardizes US research grants. Harvard University gets $500 million each year. Over ten years that is $5 billion. But the US Office of Human Research Protection at the NIH, refuses to investigate and demands evidence, and the names of the principal researchers.
One portable unit is the size of a VCR, that uses rechargeable batteries. Others are as small as a Mini DV Camcorder, that includes through-the-wall heat sensing for targeting the individual.

Massachusetts has a Firearms statute which makes it a felony to possess or to sell electrical weapons. Mass General Laws Chapter 140 Section 131 J.
http://www.mass.gov/legis.laws/mgl/140-131j.htm
In 2001 I wrote a bill to enhance the penalties. My bill did not pass, but subsequently the legislature did enhance the penalties. Local police are not trained to enforce that law. They demand evidence of use, which is not in the statute. Police and FBI informants, and members of organized crime use these weapons for harassment and provocation. Just ignore the clueless or complicit who attribute mental illness. The laws on discrimination state that it does not matter if a person is mentally ill or not. If they are denied access to government services it is a violation of law. Saying that a crime victim is mentally ill shows that the accuser believes it is OK to ignore persons with disabilities and to abuse such persons. They are sociopaths, and that includes the psychiatrists, the politicians, the judges and the police.
"The government publicly claims that these 'directed energy
weapons,' or 'D.E.W.', are still in the experimental stage, or
that working equipment is large and bulky."
These are two of many deliberate lies promulgated by US Agencies. If these weapons are experimental then the US Government is conducting an unlawful human experiment as they've done dozens of times over 80 years. Often these experiments are conducted by university oversight with no approval from the statutory Institutional Review Boards. This violates US Law, Title 45 CFR 46, called the common rule, which applies to 17 US agencies that conduct human experiments. As such it jeopardizes US research grants. Harvard University gets $500 million each year. Over ten years that is $5 billion. But the US Office of Human Research Protection at the NIH, refuses to investigate and demands evidence, and the names of the principal researchers.
One portable unit is the size of a VCR, that uses rechargeable batteries. Others are as small as a Mini DV Camcorder, that includes through-the-wall heat sensing for targeting the individual.
