I apologize profusely for troubling you, but I am a student doing a project on Stalin and I was wondering if you remember where you obtained the picture at the top of this page because I need a citation. If you could email me at dajediqueen@aim.com that would be fantastic. Thank you!

Will,

Noelle Bush...speaking of privelage, what about Florida resident Rush Limbugh. The man was a controlled- substance-walking-repository and also got on the "treatment train".

Let me tell you what gets my blood boiling...agents of the State who presume to practice medicine with nothing more thatn a first aid class or two under their belts. Let me explain (in simplistic terms)...there are numerous people in this country that suffer from severe, intractable, chronic pain. There are physicians, specializing in the treatment of this type of pain who are treating these people, however the treatment is inadequate because the practitioners are in genuine fear of the State; non-practitioner agents of the State have deemed the quantities of narcotic anagesics that may be prescribed and that a given pharmacy may dispense to an individual over a given course of time.

The physician and the pharmacist are genuinely afraid that the State will come marching in and discipline their license and/or criminally prosecute them for overprescribing and dispensing pain meds to an individual. The fear that the patient will become addicted and that the practitioners will pose a public health risk is the States motivation. Studies have shown that people with this kind of pain do not become psychologically habituated to the narcotic analgesics; even if they did, the addiction, in reality, is the lesser of the two evils with severe chronic pain being the greater.

Nevertheless, I digress. Your typical goon for the State has no business interfering with the practitioner/patient relationship. He is not qualified to make medical decisions on any level nor does he truly understand anything medically relevant to the patient's history as would the practitioner. The State claims to have "medical consultants" available to determine what the appropriate quantities are, but in reality these "consultants" are not pain treatment specialists and sre talking out of their collective arses, as it were, in these kinds of cases.

There are those practitioners who have taken on the State and have won. Specifically, there is a doc in Sacramento, CA named Harvey Rose. I've tslked with Dr. Rose on a few occasions in the past on a professional level (I'm a pharmacist for those not aquainted with me) and he takes the Hippocratic Oath seriously. So for whatever its worth, there are those who can and do take on the State and win.

Will,

This is off-topic, but I suspect you are no doubt aware of the increasing chatter about the dollar collapsing.

I believe this is an engineered "gradual" dollar collapse (although it appears it may happen at a faster pace than the power elite anticipated) for the express purpose of alarming the citizens and thereby easing the transition to the new fangled amero currency and, of course, provide the impetus for the final fastrack consolidation of the NAU.

Can you post your take on this at some point? Or comment at least?

The accused are "scared" or coerced in some way out of pleading their innocence to a jury? Well, whatever the reasoning for that is, the fact remains that the accused fold up and succumb anyway. Paey being a notable exception. Likewise, if I was really innocent of the charges, as I understood them or not, against me, I'd take the jury route regardless.

Yes, I might be put in a prison, as was Paey, but my integrity would be intact and, as they say, the concept of freedom really is truly relative.

Even so, the commoners who make up juries are fairly ignorant themselves of their rights as jurors. They hardly ever exercise jury nullification, for whatever reason, and especially in a case like Paey's would be the perfect jury response and likely have acquitted him outright. No mistrials and other telltale signs of commoner weakness.

Nonetheless, I'll have to agree with you somewhat that the entire justice system is so saturated with corrupt solicitors, both those who play defense as well as prosecutors, nowadays that they can concoct new charges, get new trials with new and fresh juries until they get the state-approved result. Win-win for the state and both solicitors either way.

Wow. Horrible.

I just read that article by Paul Craig Roberts today myself. Interestingly I just took my final in Criminal Law Procedure for my Criminology major. The material is presented in a way that represents "justice" and the rulings of cases I read are interesting and often make sense and seem fair. However, I read cases like these and it makes my blood boil. I don't understand how these officials can live with themselves. I posted that Paul Craig Roberts article on the class discussion board and elicited the professors opinion. I'll be interested in hearing her reply.
