Jailed Tyco Exec Dennis Kozlowski Sends Neil Cavuto A Hand-Scribbled Diatribe From Prison (VIDEO)
Kozlowski was jailed for offenses that are tame compared to today's Congressional and Wall Street corruption that goes blatantly unpunished. But he's still a crook.

Dennis Kozlowski Says Steve Forbes Defamed Him
Hmmmm...
Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank caused a scene when he demanded a $1 senior discount on his ferry fare to Fire Island's popular gay haunt, The Pines, last Friday. Frank was turned down by ticket clerks at the dock in Sayville because he didn't have the required Suffolk County Senior Citizens ID. A witness reports, "Frank made such a drama over the senior rate that I contemplated offering him the dollar to cool down the situation." Frank made news last year when he was spotted looking uncomfortable around a bevy of topless, well-built men at the Pines Annual Ascension Beach Party.

It is:
"If you live in an unjust society it is impossible to be just yourself." (In modern American, the word "Just" would probably be defined as "doing the right thing.")
Naturally Plato said that you can prepare yourself to live in a hypothetical just society of the future but that's about it. Most of his followers have taken his advice and most people think that Christianity started out as a form of Platonism for the masses. "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." (In other words, live in little happy groups and wait for Utopia/Afterlife.)
So thinking people usually divide themselves in those who build Utopias either on paper or in real life, and live in small groups away from the ambitious mainstream or those who plunge into the game and play by Caesar's rules.
Koslowski is just another one of Caesar's men. When they go over one of the necessary lines too many times, they foul out of the game.
When I was in my early twenties I admired Hugh Hefner. By the time I was 27 I felt sorry for him and his girls and especially for his daughters.
Clans organized around families and individuals who possessed stocks of food, bullion, guns and ammunition.
The first clans organized around local police forces. The conservatives’ war on crime during the late 20th century and the Bush/Obama war on terror during the first decade of the 21st century had resulted in the police becoming militarized and unaccountable.
As society broke down, the police became warlords. The state police broke apart, and the officers were subsumed into the local forces of their communities. The newly formed tribes expanded to encompass the relatives and friends of the police.
The dollar had collapsed as world reserve currency in 2012 when the worsening economic depression made it clear to Washington’s creditors that the federal budget deficit was too large to be financed except by the printing of money.
With the dollar’s demise, import prices skyrocketed. As Americans were unable to afford foreign-made goods, the transnational corporations that were producing offshore for US markets were bankrupted, further eroding the government’s revenue base.
The government was forced to print money in order to pay its bills, causing domestic prices to rise rapidly. Faced with hyperinflation, Washington took recourse in terminating Social Security and Medicare and followed up by confiscating the remnants of private pensions. This provided a one-year respite, but with no more resources to confiscate, money creation and hyperinflation resumed.
Organized food deliveries broke down when the government fought hyperinflation with fixed prices and the mandate that all purchases and sales had to be in US paper currency. Unwilling to trade appreciating goods for depreciating paper, goods disappeared from stores.
Washington responded as Lenin had done during the “war communism” period of Soviet history. The government sent troops to confiscate goods for distribution in kind to the population. This was a temporary stop-gap until existing stocks were depleted, as future production was discouraged. Much of the confiscated stocks became the property of the troops who seized the goods.

In some instances, agents took the open-book test together, violating rules that they take it alone. Others finished the lengthy exam unusually quickly, current and former officials said.

"It's quite an invasive data collection system," said Farhana Khera, executive director of the nonprofit group Muslim Advocates. "It's based on generalized suspicion and fear on the part of law enforcement, not on individualized evidence of criminal activity."
Khera spoke in an interview on the eve of a Capitol Hill appearance by FBI Director Robert Mueller, who was scheduled to testify Wednesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In a statement, the bureau said its procedures are designed to ensure that FBI probes don't zero in on anyone on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion or the exercise of any other constitutional right

Paolo Mastrangelo recorded dozens of rats on the sidewalks, bushes and cracks in the ground.
He wrote on nyctheblog.com that an NYPD officer expressed resigned anger at the rats overrunning the park. "Look at that thing," he exclaimed, pointing and shaking his head in disgust, "it's as big as a cat!"

The Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal has jacked up the rate it charges the administration’s news clipping service by a jaw-dropping $600,000 per year — and is steering the White House towards a direct deal with News Corp., according to an administration official.

"It was early 2012 and ASSHOLES were governing America when the first armed popular uprising occured, as scores of previously undetected militias sprang-up into action across the country. Comprised mostly of men & woman with previous military experience -including combat- they at first began by launching a coordinated wave of nationwide attacks against Goldman Sachs offices. By late 2013 however, militia attacks spread like wildfire against ALL financial corporate headquarters and even the private residences of their chief executives. Many of these were dragged from their beds at night and strung-up from nearby lamp posts, their mansions burned to the ground. Police proved unable to contain the fury of the more well-equipped and better armed militia members and one by one police officers werekilled until the survivors decided to join the militias themselves.
2015 greets the U.S. with hundreds of thousands of furious armed people encircling Washington DC as the last remaining troops still loyal to the Obama administration struggle to hold them back. Crapping his pants (again) as he hunkered in the White House bunker, Barack Hussein Obama carefully set down his Holy Koran on the nightstand next to his original birth certificate and looked at the cyanide vial. "Are you sure this will work?" he asked Sherry Sherod (by now the only person still on speaking terms with him). "Yes", she replied. "But to make double sure I'll ALSO simulytaneously shoot you in the fucking head with this grenade launcher, just in case", she cheerfully added.
