I've created this special feature for the print media and
broadcasters ("Page Nine" regardless of where it runs), that covers
stories afresh, not the way news rooms typically flavor things. It will
help reduce the distrust so many news consumers feel and could be the
most avidly followed item you carry -- if you carry it. It certainly is
well received by my audience. This casual sample might make you say,
"We'll NEVER run that!" but Page Nine is built around ad revenues from
clear-thinking mainstream businesses.

Milan B., commenting on Page Nine No. 102, correctly notes that: "With all due respect, religion did not build this nation. People of moral philosophy using their cognitive skills of rationale, reason and logic built this country. Any country that was founded on religion has clearly shown a negative development and advancement as a civilization; especially as it pertains to economics, science, and industrialization." [I stand corrected. The error came in a description of one of our latest books, "America's Godly Heritage." It would have been more accurate to say, "this little book documents how devoutly religious people built this nation."]

Warren W. points out that my report on the 9/11 attacks (item #6 in Page Nine No. 102), may have been in error. This illuminating brief video he sent highlights the possible error -- some facts about the event appear to be in question. http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/4995.html

The controversial Hypocrisy Act of 2011 is not being considered in Congress in the face of increasing abuses under the name of being "green." The act if enacted, would make acts a crime if a person advocates for reducing carbon footprints while drinking carbonated beverages like Coke and Pepsi.
Scientists, noting that the incorrectly named "carbon footprint" is actually a "carbon-dioxide footprint," pointed out that sparkling beverages release pure CO2 in large quantities, just like breathing does. According to leading experts, such hypocrisy undermines the morals of the nation. A leading criminal-defense attorney, who wishes to remain unanimous, praised the non-law, saying it could open up significant new areas of litigation, keeping the world safe for children while providing fee support. Sarcasm off. "Carbon footprint," the inaccurate name for carbon-dioxide output, is a clever turn of phrase, but about as meaningful as "carbon offsets," a green scheme that greens are no longer promoting because it was such a scam even they knew it was a scam after a while. Carbon dioxide is the gas all plants need to thrive.

Fast and Furious -- You may have notice I have mostly refrained from reporting on this massive gun-smuggling scheme run by the federal government. The crimes, cover-ups, job promotions for the perps, stonewalling and constant flow of new incriminating evidence is being covered very well by others, no sense in reinventing the wheel. I am forwarding whatever scoops I get to people like David Codrea and some network people, who are beating these bushes, to the near total silence of most of the lamestream media. Why would the media of all people try to cover up massive government gun corruption under the Obama administration? Meanwhile, Congress presses forward to see how far under Obama this took place. Google Codrea. Also try these guys -- http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2011/09/vanderboegh-codrea-exclusive-us-govt.html.

:::: The United Nations stinks, literally -- based on first-hand reports received by the Uninvited Ombudsman. Despite "news" portrayals as a glowing example of the best of humanity, reality is exactly opposite. The innards of the facility are in disrepair, plaster peeling, cracked paint, filth; worst of all, delegates from Africa and other backwater countries do not shower daily or change their clothes regularly, in keeping with their traditions of home, and "they reek," according to an eyewitness. Rule of law in the building ignores the no-smoking ordinances of the rest of New York City, so the air is often thick with smoke, plus the reek, it's enough to make you gag, going there on required business is distasteful. And here you thought all they cared about was removing your civil right to arms...

BATFE went ahead and self-implemented their unauthorized long-gun recording and registration scheme in the four Mexican border states, by issuing a "demand letter" to dealers. Dealers who wish to keep their licenses have little option but to comply while the NRA, NSSF and others challenge the rogue agency's actions in court, which could take a year or more. No provision for destroying the illegal registry is in place, and in fact no one really knows what BATFE is actually up to.

"The right to possess firearms for protection implies a corresponding right to acquire and maintain proficiency in their use; the core right wouldn't mean much without the training and practice that make it effective." Ezell v. Chicago No 10-3525 slip op. at 35-36 (7th Cir.) The case examines Chicago's position that you must get training to get a carry permit, but ranges are banned in the city, a very Chicago-politics sort of approach. The city gut a butt kicking in the decision, argued by gun-rights rock-star attorney Alan Gura. "The city has at once required range training for licensure and at the same time, banned them. How is that Constitutional?... you're not planning or regulating, you're banning." "Mr Gura, what would you like your preliminary injunction to say?"

1- Shooting Isn't News
The lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you:
Man accused of killing wife, shooting two pastors. Wire services, 9/19/11. Lakeland, FL -- A gunman killed his wife at their Florida home and then burst into a nearby church on Sunday, wounding a pastor and associate pastor before parishioners tackled him, authorities and relatives said.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
One homicide by a deranged person (called a "gunman") -- 2,000 miles away from here -- is overt propaganda and conveys no relevant news. It is a particularly egregious abuse by the "news" media, since legitimate self-defense stories or other acts of heroism -- even in your neighborhood -- are routinely omitted by the unbiased fair and balanced "news" media. People shot just down the road in Mexico go unreported, for reasons that remain unclear, since all life is equal. Guns are used several million times a year defensively, and the shooting sports are the number two participant sport in the nation, plain facts hidden from public view by those who run the mass media. They emphatically deny it.
In other news, an average of 82 people died horribly in car crashes on that same day (30K per year), squeezed out of the news for lack of space.
Stories like this one about a single maniac, thousands of miles out of context, are designed to make guns seem bad, to associate guns with danger, and madness, and homicidal rage, and to keep you scared and perhaps increase your dependence on authorities (according to local authorities). This kind of reporting is a common psychological phenomenon known as "projection," where afflicted people project their own fears onto others around them. It is highly characteristic of hoplophobia, a morbid fear of weapons that rises to a medical impairment. The hundred-million gun owners who did nothing wrong that day of course are not news, but still scare the bejesus out of hoplophobes.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Don't make me repeat the description above, this is the same thing (reported on the same day) -- a crime story from 2,000 miles away that spreads horror and disgust, fails to inform on any issue of substance to the electorate or the populace or the culture. It does point out, subliminally, that a "speedy trial" guaranteed by the Constitution (6th Amendment) now means festering in jail for four years before the trial even begins.
Attorneys point out that such delays are created by the defense and so are OK, as part of a strategy to get the client off. This allows emotions to die down, raises hopes that witnesses will forget things or die, and provides time to properly prepare. The attorneys failed to mention they get paid for the four years while the trial isn't on, like an annuity, while the client is in a clean spacious perfectly safe prison.

A 12,500 pound NASA satellite the size of a school bus was expected to fall to Earth on Friday, Sep. 23, but the exact time and location could not be determined with any certainty. Four days later, the location was still unknown, and NASA scientists assured the public that there is little chance of any harm, faithfully reported by reporters. Nothing has been hit by falling space debris for fifty years, the agency assured the public.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Not a single reporter asked who would be responsible if a high-energy NASA fireball actually hit, well, anything. Not one even hinted at a question of what would happen if a private enterprise were to announce plans to put six tons of stainless steel, exotic minerals, potent chemicals and more into a program designed and guaranteed to simply randomly drop the stuff on the ground in just ten years. Every report sounded identical, because they were. They were single-sourced -- all the details were provided by government to "journalists," and carefully parroted. As if to placate anyone nervous, the agency figured the odds of hitting a person were about 3,000 to 1. This is way far more likely than lottery jackpots, they failed to point out.
In other news, another ambitious group of government people are expecting their satellite to rain down in November, location similarly unknown. Only about two tons of steel and materials are expected to survive re-entry and not hit anyone in this adventure. No arrests have been made for reckless endangerment, negligence, menacing, operating a dangerous cartel, nuttin'. Plans for future launches are proceeding.

4- Cops Overpower Military
The lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you:
9/17/11, Airbase is put on lock down in scare TUCSON - For six hours on Friday, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was locked down while authorities from multiple agencies scoured the sprawling base for a gunman. After conducting a search "floor by floor, room by room," said Col. John Cherrey, commander of the base, "no gunman or weapon was found," and said the base was locked down following an unconfirmed report of a gunman who had entered a building. Authorities from the FBI, the Tucson Police Department and the Tucson Fire Department joined base officials in the search, which also involved multiple SWAT teams. A military official told the Associated Press and NBC News that a man was holed up in a building on the base. The discrepancy was not explained.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Of all the unmitigated outrageous insults that have been forced upon this nation, requiring the police to protect the military may be the absolute worst. The idea that a lone maniac ("gunman" cited three times in just two sentences), is grounds for incapacitating an entire U.S. military base is preposterous. Requiring police to search an Air Force base for a (non-existent in this case) villain is the height of emasculation. The reporter failed to note that the military is a heavily armed force capable of toppling nations.
You're Americans, you should remember this: If anyone attacks our military, the attackers have signed their death warrants, and the military is always unconditionally authorized to respond and execute the warrant. Why police and SWAT teams and the FBI and the fire department (the fire department?) were called in was unclear at press time.
In America, we don't send in police to do the military's job. C'mon fellas, get real. Someone in the chain of command (the military and the media) should have questioned this bizarre travesty, put a stop to it. Reams of expensive reports are likely to come out of the event.
Miltary leaders: Stand up to this abuse, never let mere police be responsible for your protection, keep them off base and mobilize your troops. Call in cops only when it's time to remove the trash (dead or alive), and help reverse this insidious attack on America from her domestic enemies. Cops are good, serve important purposes. This ain't one of them.

5- Crime Plunge Mystifies
The lamestream media told you: The lamestream media told you:
Violent Crimes Plunged by 12% in U.S. in 2010. Pete Yost, beat reporter, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - "The number of violent crimes fell by a surprising 12 percent in the U.S. last year, a far bigger drop than the nation has averaged since 2001, the Justice Department says. Experts aren't sure why. The expectation had been that crime would increase in a weak economy with high unemployment."
"The drop dwarfs the 3 percent decline the nation averaged from 2001 through 2009. More than 80 percent of the decline was attributed to a 15 percent plunge in simple assaults, which accounted for nearly two-thirds of all violent crimes in 2010.
"It is clear the decline in violent crime is part of a long-term trend that began in 1993. From then through 2010, violent crime declined by a whopping 70 percent: from 49.9 crimes per 1,000 persons age 12 and older to 14.9 per 1,000 in 2010.
"The 'Victimization Survey' figures are considered the government's most reliable crime statistics because they count crimes reported to the police as well as those unreported. The government has found that only about half of all violent crimes and 40 percent of property crimes are reported to police. Because the survey is based on interviews with victims, it gathers no data on murder [think about that for a moment]. But murder is by far the least frequent major crime; 15,241 were reported in 2009."
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
With familiar open-mindedness, the "news" media and its experts can't for the life of them understand why crime might be dropping. They've considered and discarded every imaginable reason, save the "unmentionable" one -- the American public is increasingly armed on the street. What is the only one reason millions of America carry firearms daily? To deter crime. Ahh, that'll never work.
Having regained the right to bear arms, with the permission-slip and Constitutional Carry programs that have swept the nation (except Illinois, yet), the drop in crime surprisingly coincides with proliferation of the discreet-carry permit programs. Florida got the ball rolling in 1987, but it wasn't until the early 1990s that a tsunami of states joined the plan, and crime "coincidentally" plummeted.
Not one official even hinted that this significant cultural, sociological and pragmatic change existed, let alone mattered. There my friend, in a nutshell, is the grotesque bias of the media, displayed on a platter.
All the empirical evidence points to an armed populace as a deterrent to crime. Though there is little doubt in the minds of the armed half of the nation, with experiences to boot, there is nothing but doubt, and terror, in the minds of the hoplophobic left and its media denizens. After every expanse in freedom on the right to bear arms, the left imagines gloom -- projecting their own internal insecurities and fear, detached from reality. None of the projections materialize, and crime drops, but they continue with the projections, invulnerable to the pure white light of day and the facts before their eyes.
Every person who owns a gun understands it is a crime deterrent. Many don't presume, they know first hand. The only significant difference in the balance of power between criminals and the public in the last bunch of years is CCW. Why on Earth would the pundits who designed and created the data for this finding ("crime drops") fail to speculate that the armed citizenry had something to do with it? Why indeed.
In other news, the 20 crimes on the federal books in 1790 have grown to more than 4,500 today, according to the latest research in the Wall Street Journal. Worse, many no longer require "mens rea," or intent to break the law, a bedrock of protecting the innocent. So even if you act honorably, you can be convicted of unknowable offenses. Sentences for all sorts of crimes have increased, and mandatory sentences for minor infractions are increasing faster than the money supply.
And what's with this "Victimization Survey"? How victimized does the government want us to feel? Isn't this a "Committed Crime" survey? Or "Crimes Against the Public" survey? Aren't these now "Reported Crimes"? Whoever named this thing "victimization" needs reeducation camp. How many of the "victims" prevailed?

"Palestinian issue putting Obama to the test," Ben Feller, AP, 9/18/11 "Obama is facing questions about his commitment to Israel and his support among Jewish voters despite a record of support for Israel that analysts say has been strong and fair."
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The AP may say Obama supports Israel, but that doesn't make it so, and a significant portion of the Jewish community apparently would never say that. Chalk it up to lamestream media attempting to set the tone, and falsely reporting what is for what isn't. SOP.
"In his address to the UN last week, Obama reminded the assembled dignitaries of the "new basis for peace talks" he had proposed in May, signaling he would continue to pressure Israel to accept the 1967 lines, dubbed by former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Abba Eban as the "the Auschwitz lines." Solidly behind Israel? I think not." Name withheld on request.

Watch that short video. Please let me hear if you agree. This short clip is about as good as it gets. Explains our financial crisis and so-called rich-poor schism brilliantly, in an easy, fun way.
Also note that class-warfare notions about a few people with lots of money harming the economy and the working proletariat don't even pass the smell test. A person with a billion dollars doesn't "have" the billion, it exists as property, companies, jobs, vehicles, blueprints and stuff the person controls. The economy "has" the money, regardless of whose name it is in. A $1MM tiara and a yacht puts a lot of people to work, even if the tiara adorns the rich person's head aboard a fine yacht as it makes port in your home town to pick up supplies.

Special Guest Columnist Craig Cantoni The fix for the country that no one is talking about by Mencken's Ghost
The USA isn't bereft of ideas to supposedly fix what ails it: raise taxes or cut spending, raise the debt limit or live within its means, reform Medicare or expand free medical care, invest in public education or offer choice in education, invest in green energy or drill for oil, invade other countries or defend the nation's shores, pray to God in school or pray to the state in school, salute the flag or burn the flag, vote Democrat or vote Republican, watch CNBC or watch Fox News, and be fixated on Lady Gaga or on Weiner's weenie.
None of these distractions will fix the country. They won't fix it because they don't address the root problem. The root problem is theft.
Theft has become the main activity of the U.S. government (and state governments). Instead of taking some money from all people to pay for the few public goods and services that cannot be provided by free markets and charities, the government now takes a lot of money from a minority of people for the unlimited benefit of a majority of people.
This can't end in anything but bankruptcy.
The list of larcenies would run for more than 50 pages. Examples include crop subsidies given to farmers, subsidies of every description given to rent-seeking corporations (hello, General Electric), school lunches given to obese kids, handouts beyond imagination given to able-bodied and able-minded slackers, rich pensions given to avaricious public employees, and free medical care given to liars who say they can't afford medical care as they drive expensive cars, gorge on unhealthy food, and mortgage their futures to buy every new gizmo and gadget.
Then there is the double-theft of Social Security and Medicare. After making phony actuarial assumptions about the programs, the government committed the first theft by confiscating people's lifetime FICA payments--which were inadequate to pay the promised benefits in retirement--and spending the payments on other things. It is now committing the second theft by sending the bills for its lies and larceny to future generations.
All of this theft has created a feeding frenzy, where the objective is to steal from your neighbor before he steals from you. It's as if we're all swimming in shark-infested waters with bloody hams tied to our backs.
The absurd justifications and rationalizations for eating our neighbors are an insult to whatever intelligence and morals are left in the nation. The feeders speak of social justice, fairness, compassion, and, especially, the children, while they devour their neighbors' hams. And then the media, which never had much intelligence or morals, runs story after story sympathetic to the feeders instead of their victims.
Eggheads in academia teach a similar slant to college kids with yolks for brains, as they enjoy their tenured positions that depend on government grants, student indebtedness, and serf-like graduate assistants who do the work of the pampered professoriate for little pay. Like their fellow egghead in the White House, these feeders despise the bourgeoisie, are steeped in leftist cant, and want to destroy what is left of the market economy that funds their privileged positions.
It's no surprise, then, to hear students sniveling and demonstrating about the unfairness of tuition increases at state colleges. Because no one has told them where money comes from, and because they have grown up in a kleptomaniac nation, it doesn't dawn on them that much of their education is paid in taxes by working stiffs who don't attend college and who earn less then what they will earn after graduation. Nor does it dawn on reporters, who also didn't learn much in college, to ask the whining students about the fairness of this.
One has to watch voyeuristic shows like “Judge Judy” or “Judge Joe Brown” instead of the mainstream news to know what many of the feeders are like. Ironically, such shows are a big hit with the feeders themselves, probably because they know the truth.
The nation was doomed to bankruptcy the first time that Americans--and thus government--justified the taking of money from some people for the benefit of other people, instead of for the true general welfare. Such original sin, which took place before the Founders had died, set a precedent and led to convoluted court decisions and purposeful misreading of the Constitution to justify an endless succession of theft.
Unless Americans stop all theft, the government will have no choice but to resort to the biggest theft of all times. Unable to cut the federal debt by honest means, politicians will cut it dishonestly. They will debase the dollar even more than they have already, relying on the burglary rings of the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and the rest of the banking cartel to do the stealing in the middle of the night, unseen by citizens and the media, who will be too distracted by gagas and wieners to notice.
In the meantime, stay out of the water and try to hide your ham and wiener.
