mcleod @ 22: huge grin & laugh at your comment; great way to start the day. interesting topic, Margaret. I’m just very, extremely happy that my folks, sister and I have done and enjoyed every thing along the way rather than postponing “until . . .” My memory bank is full of treasures; and I’m [...]

karenjj2 commented on the blog post NATO Summit Roundup: People’s Summit, Pakistan Intimidated & Nurses Make a Deal
thanks, Kevin! i hope there’ll be some discussion of obama’s under the radar “Pacific free trade” agreement, and how to derail it. the idea of giving corps complete dominence over governments makes the current fascism pale in comparison.
is there a link for contributions to peoples summit expenses? i like to put my money where my mouth (representation) is.

re space: i have the ultimate feeling if space when i wake and look out the 5ft window at the tree-top view from my queen-size bunk every morning. awning windows on both sides of the “truck” (rv) cranked open adds to feeling of sitting on the front porch all the time. plus my bathroom is [...]

karenjj2 commented on the blog post MERS Expert Chris Peterson Tapped for CFPB
good morning, Dave! i really snickered at the title of this article. “reforming MERS” would be the same as this guy’s labeling “solution” to payday loans.
the true answer to the mortgage mess is to require either the last recorded mortgage with note and/or the original notarized note itself.
MERS was/is a criminal scam to bypass county recording fees and expedite the huge “paper scams” created by the FIRE fraudsters.
This “commission” is just a way to “legalize” world-wide fraud by the banksters.
If the original note can’t be found, the last recorded note should rule — not computer data entries.

p.s. please don’t take this as “shooting the messenger,” Dave. I thoroughly appreciate and respect your work; you are an exceptional journalist. thank you!

karenjj2 commented on the diary post Pelosi/Banks/Obama again endorse Simpson-Bowles post election so as to avoid Clinton rates returning. by papau.
This sh*t combined with the “secret” pacific “free trade” deal have me thinking it might be better to vote for a real R. We got Bush Sr’s NAFTA under Clinton and Bush Jr’s wars + Columbia-Peru-Korea “free trade” deals + the Pacific one probably completed by year end via Obama. Then again, I live in [...]

karenjj2 commented on the diary post Occupy Minnesota, Police and Drugs-Update by Michael Cavlan RN.
Hi Michael Your article and yesterday’s by Phoenix Woman: http://my.firedoglake.com/phoenix/2012/05/05/nypd-using-sexual-assault-as-law-enforcement-tool/ are just stunning. It seems as though the “police” have become criminal thugs overnight. OR maybe it’s just that the corruption is no longer being concealed — except, as you note, by the “press.” Appreciate you publishing this; first step to any progress is detailing [...]

Thank you so much for the illuminating discussion, Tracie.
I found this comment very interesting and wonder if you think the salt intrusion you observed may confirm that drought is under way.

karenjj2 commented on the blog post The Padilla v. Yoo Decision Will Not Put Chong’s Claim Up in Smoke
agree that if you or i were in charge of DOJ, we’d feel free to use taxpayer dollars to make the case go away. but who says holder or his minions are that smart? i.e. your link re “charge sheriff joe or let him go.” the news article has enuf info that even i could do an indictment. this decision should be within even a liberty u grad. DUH!
appreciate the chance to gabb, bmaz; thoroughly enjoy your work with emptywheel. the documentation you all are doing is vital for the future as well as helping some of us survive the present feeling of being the only “alice” at the mad hatter’s (koch bros) tea party.

karenjj2 commented on the blog post The Padilla v. Yoo Decision Will Not Put Chong’s Claim Up in Smoke
edit my #13 above: not skeptical that chong case will be “won;” but that there will be any legal decision. he’ll be paid whatever amount is necessary to make the case go away including non-disclosure agreement, of course.
hope this explains my lack of enthusiasm; ashcroft and comey were the last 2 justice dept occupiers that had some remaining “old school” values regarding the law.

karenjj2 commented on the blog post The Padilla v. Yoo Decision Will Not Put Chong’s Claim Up in Smoke
thanks, bmaz, for your very helpful guidance through the legal forest.
i think the nail in the coffin of the “justice dept” was rove’s removal of the last 6 us attornies committed to the law and justice in 2006. in addition, you have 10,000 loyal cheneyites burrowed into all depts of gov’t — many of them pat robertson & liberty u “graduates.”
add obama’s corporate lawyer holder and their continued support of every case initiated or defended by the bush admin, and you can understand how skeptical many of us have become regarding a possibility of an individual’s success in a “slam dunk” case.

excellent summary, Samantha! i lol’d at the wells fargo chant, too. fbi crap in ohio is typical gov’t response to protests since forever. the only new factor is having reports like yours to get a bigger picture of their tactics and using spontaneous occupies nation-wide. loved the 4 winds approach in LA. thanks again. well [...]
