Radical Muslims Want Us Dead – Understand?

by Diane Dimond on April 29, 2013

[caption id="attachment_6274" align="alignleft" width="150"] Tsarnaev Brothers - Radical Muslims Who Spread Terror[/caption] Extreme factions of the Muslim religion want us dead - every American and everyone who embraces a religion different than theirs. We are infidels, heathens and heretics and they believe it is their mission to wipe us off the face of the earth. I know it isn’t politically correct to publicly discuss how the most radicalized elements of the Muslim faith have targeted Americans for death. I know it is not acceptable to “profile” people based on their country of origin or religious traditions – not even when cold, hard, bloody, murderous facts directly stare us in the face. What kind of Alice-in-Wonderland thinking keeps this country from stating the obvious? What is the matter with us, as a people, that we cannot readily see and say who our enemy is? Now, before I’m waved off as suffering from Islamophobia let’s take a look at the two basic types of terror we face today. [caption id="attachment_6275" align="alignright" width="120"] Homegrown Source of Terror, Adam Lanza[/caption] The first kind is homegrown and we've suffered through a lot of it lately. It erupts when deranged people get a hold of a weapon and start destroying lives in our elementary schools, theaters and on college campuses. These are the random mass murders that evolve from the profound mental illness of our fellow citizens. I've written extensively in this space about the need to identify and help treat that group in advance of their deadly sprees. The second kind of terror is more insidious. It is carefully and meticulously planned. It springs from a fanatical religious place few of us can really understand. It is uniquely anti-American and while its perpetrators wrap themselves in a cloak of godliness their actions are a bona fide war, a cherished duty of jihad against people they don’t even know – us. [caption id="attachment_6277" align="alignleft" width="150"] Never Forget - Muslim Extremists Did This[/caption] Radicalized off-shoot cults of Islam twice attacked the World Trade Center (in 1993 and again in 2001) and forced down packed passenger jets at the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. One enraged Muslim flexing his jihadist muscles used U.S. military issued weapons at Ft. Hood, Texas to gun down 13 Americans and wound 32 others. And now, the two profoundly misguided Muslim brother- bombers in Boston. All were murderous assassins who did not target a particular person. They put a bull’s-eye on any and all U.S. citizens – men, women and children of any age – and their goal was to kill and spill as much American blood as possible. In the midst of their rampage around Boston the Tsarnaev brothers car-jacked a luxury SUV and bragged to the Chinese driver about placing pressure cooker bombs at the marathon’s finish line. Later the victim told police the terrorists allowed him to live because, “I am not American.” That says it all. [caption id="attachment_6278" align="alignright" width="150"] Ambsr Stevens Dragged in Streets by Muslim Radicals[/caption] The terror filled week that played out in Boston grabbed many of us by our collective throat and slammed us against the wall because we had become complacent. We believed it couldn't happen again on American soil. Even in the face of attacks on American embassies overseas (and the still un-avenged torture and assassination of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi) we have swallowed pronouncements from Washington that “al-Qaeda is on its heels,” that the terrorist organization is nearly “decapitated” to use the president’s word. That, of course, is nonsense given what happened in Massachusetts last week. There is also an unconfirmed report from a British newspaper that the FBI is searching for a 12 member sleeper cell linked to the Boston bombers – a cell that, “has been waiting several years for their day to come,” according to a source close to the investigation. And this week, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced the arrest of two “al-Qaeda inspired” suspects bent on de-railing a passenger train as it crossed a suspended trestle in Toronto. According to CBC News the pair had been under surveillance for more than a year and was getting their marching orders from an al-Qaeda operative living on the Afghanistan/Iran border. The RCMP now admits they have been monitoring a broad network of terrorism suspects in their country. [caption id="attachment_6279" align="alignleft" width="150"] Americans in Boston Celebrate Capture of Tsarnaev Brother[/caption] Taken together it seems clear that radical Muslim elements have a toe-hold right here in North America. They are not radical Catholics or extremist Methodists or fanatical Quakers. The terrorists who fervently want us dead are a splinter group of Muslims that hate Americans so much they will spend years silently organizing and plotting our demise and not care if they die in the process. This is not a column to condemn or place under suspicion the millions of compassionate, forgiving and loving Muslims in the world. I know that at the core of their belief is love and a toleration of all people and ideologies. But honest folk must agree that festering within the peace loving Muslim religion is a rotten core of murderous terrorists. It is clear that Muslim leaders are unable to police the flock. It is certain that Muslim dominated countries that get multiple billions in U.S. foreign aid – Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq – aren’t helping eliminate the threat either. That leaves it up to us to fight our own battle against terrorism. How is that supposed to work if we cannot openly discuss the enemy without fear of being branded as prejudiced? It is not an act of discrimination to mention who they are. These violent Muslims have been out to destroy us for decades. So, cling to your political correctness if you must. I will adhere to the wise old saying, “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” home

Crime Rates Are Down – But Why?

by Diane Dimond on March 11, 2013

[caption id="attachment_6118" align="alignleft" width="120"] Down: Crimes like Murder, Rape and Burglary[/caption] If you follow the news you've heard that violent crime rates are down all across the country. I know it is hard to believe after news of mass shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, Aurora, Colorado and the current murder spree in Chicago but facts are facts. The instances of crime have been slowly and surely declining for the last two decades. Back in 1994, a Gallup survey found that more than 50% of Americans cited crime as the nation’s biggest problem. In another Gallup survey conducted last year that number was down to just 2%. I keep wondering why? What caused the rate of murder, rape, armed robbery and other violence-inspired crimes to plummet so dramatically? Did we just get lucky or is there a specific reason (or reasons) for the improvement? [caption id="attachment_6121" align="alignright" width="150"] Record Numbers of U.S. Prisoners[/caption] Opinions are as varied as the number of criminologists and scholars researching the issue. The theories range from the conventional to the controversial. Most criminologists agree on a group of factors that caused the decline. • The U.S. incarceration rate is among the highest in the world. Plainly put, we have taken record numbers of criminals off the street. • The increased number of police on the beat and pro-active policing. Bottom line, it is now harder to commit a crime. Citizens are more alert these days and their calls to 911 bring immediate help. Also, surveillance cameras are everywhere and they are believed to be a real deterrent. • The “graying of America.” Young people commit most of the crime and the U.S population has gotten progressively older. [caption id="attachment_6122" align="alignleft" width="150"] Give Youth A Place to Belong[/caption] • There are now many more social programs for youth which help keep young people occupied and focused on positive goals. • The government’s stepped-up aid programs -- such as unemployment, food stamps and rent controlled housing – means recipients are less likely to turn to financial or stress-motivated crime. But there are lots of other theories from learned sources about why America continues to experience a drop in violent crime. Some might seem far-fetched to you, others may be hard to swallow. Rick Nevin , a Virginia economist who consults with the National Center for Healthy Housing (among other studious pursuits) maintains that the decline in crime can be traced to the U.S. ban on lead in gasoline and house paints. In a series of graphs he demonstrates how the drop in the crime rate coincides perfectly with the coming-of-age of the first generation protected from lead exposure. The theory has not been widely researched because how do you study a group that has not been exposed to something? But, lead has long been associated with violent behavior and Nevin insists his research proves a link between the lead ban and a drop in crime not only here in the U.S. but in nine other countries as well. Richard Rosenfeld, the former president of the American Society of Criminology at the University of Missouri in St. Louis also cites the decline in opportunities for criminal behavior. He told reporters a while back that, “During severe recessions like the current one, with chronically high unemployment rates, more people are at home and can act as guardians for their home.” That translates into fewer home burglaries and property crimes. Rosenfeld also says the poor economy has left people with less cash and valuables, making criminals less likely to target them for robbery or theft. Some ardent NRA and other gun owners say the decline has occurred because so many Americans have chosen to arm themselves and have, therefore, created safer streets and homesteads. Anti-gun proponents point to the increase in the number of gun laws as being the reason violent crimes are on the downswing. There are no firm statistics to back up either theory.   [caption id="attachment_6127" align="alignleft" width="120"] That's the NRA's Disputed Stand[/caption] Steven Levitt, an economist at the University of Chicago offers what is probably the most controversial hypothesis for the two-decade long decrease in violent crimes. Levitt believes that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to legalize abortion in January 1973 has had more to do with the drop in crime than any other factor. I have to admit, I winced when I read that. So I kept reading to learn more about his theory. Levitt and co-author John Donohue published a controversial paper that highlighted the year 1992 when crime in the U.S. first started to inch downward. They noted that it was a full 18 years after the high court’s historic decision on Rowe vs. Wade. Levitt and Donohue theorize that the legalization of abortion resulted in fewer unwanted children who would have gone on to commit youthful violent crimes. [caption id="attachment_6128" align="alignright" width="120"] Abortion Protest at the US Supreme Court[/caption] The pair studied the states that had been the earliest adopters of legalized abortion – Alaska, California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and Washington State – and found that those locations began to experience steep drops in the violent crime rate 18 years later. They also found that those states with the highest abortion rates experienced the greatest reduction in crime. So to the question, “What is responsible for the reduction in crime in the United States?” Clearly, it’s some sort of a combination of the various theories floating around. So take your pick. Please, make a pick because if Gallup survey numbers hold and only 2 % of Americans continue to see crime as a problem, we’re in trouble. Our complacency could easily allow crime rates to inch back up again carrying with it all manner of human suffering. home

Wanted: A Revolution in Citizen’s Thinking

by Diane Dimond on January 7, 2013

[caption id="attachment_5933" align="alignleft" width="150"] Modern Day Comparisons[/caption] If you haven’t seen the new movie Les Miserables, you must. It is a staggeringly powerful presentation of revolution in 19th Century France and once you see it you will never forget it. The haunting music and lyrics will stay top-of-mind for weeks. “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men….” Now wait. I haven’t suddenly become a film critic, not at all. But I must say as I watched this monumental movie about peasants seeking justice I was struck by the comparisons one could make to the growing turmoil in modern America. Today, it is all about the percolating economic upheaval in the U.S. that is certain to crush us all in the years ahead if something isn’t done – and fast. [caption id="attachment_5934" align="alignright" width="150"] Senate "Leader" Harry Reid - Democrat, Nevada[/caption] Politicians in Washington may be patting themselves on the back for preventing a fall off what they called the nation’s “fiscal cliff” but, really, what they have done is just put off the hard decisions until another day. They failed to do their job until the last possible moment and when they finally acted their solution was disappointingly lackluster. Their kick-the-can-down the road compromise solution doesn’t help the economy in the long run and it certainly does nothing for future generations who will likely drown in the red ink we leave behind. Think you would be able to keep your job if you failed day-after-day, year-after-year to perform your duties in a timely fashion? Honestly, I don’t know how these “leaders” in Congress – who earn between $193,400 and $223,500 a year (plus perks) - can look at themselves in the mirror. Their actions border on criminal in my opinion. [caption id="attachment_5935" align="alignleft" width="150"] House "Leader" Republican, John Boehner[/caption] In the wake of Congress’s recent fiscal cliff votes increasing segments of America are getting angrier. The poor who struggle to feed their families and pay the bills are angry. People who can’t find jobs after searching for months or years are angry. Now, those individuals making more than $400,000 are angry because they are facing substantial tax increases that many of them say will keep them from hiring new employees or buying big-ticket items like new homes, cars or major appliances. That spending could have helped ignite the nation’s sputtering economy but now it never will. “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men….” The simple truth that few speak is that tax increases are never going to fix an economy that borrows up to $1 trillion a year for entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and food stamps), defense spending, tax credits and other government programs. America is simply going to have to substantially cut spending – period. Don’t politicians get that? Reminds me of the movie’s song, “Beggars At the Feast.” “Everywhere you go Law-abiding folks Doing what is decent - but they’re mostly broke!” [caption id="attachment_5938" align="alignright" width="150"] Are You Satisfied With Congress' Performance?[/caption] It’s time for everyone – from lawmakers who continue to push for funding of non-vital hometown projects to the countless thousands of special interest lobbyists – to reign in the urge to hold out their hand for more money. There isn't any more money. And logic tells us to print more is sheer insanity. It’s time for elected officials in Washington to do what must be done, otherwise within the next decade the national debt will overtake us all. It is as clear as black and white, or as the French revolutionary’s final call for change put it in the song, “Red and Black”: “The color of the world is changing day by day Red – the blood of angry men! Black – the dark of ages past! Red – A world about to dawn! Black – the night that ends at last!” [caption id="attachment_5939" align="alignleft" width="135"] Dollar's Diminishing Power[/caption] If we truly want America’s economic slide to end, if we really want to re-claim Superpower status for the country, we will have to re-gain our economic footing. The dirty little secret solution to America’s fiscal woes is that even more segments of the population will have to be made angry if we are ever going to get a grip on this slippery slope to total insolvency. We have all become slaves to past bad thinking that we could simply throw money at things and social problems would magically disappear. Most important, more of us have to care about the economic slavery we all endure these days. I know, just getting through the week is hard. Paying the rent or mortgage is sometimes impossible. Finding enough time away from work for children, elderly parents or just plain relaxation is nearly impossible. We've all become slaves in our own way to the shrinking power of the American dollar. But somehow we citizens have to find time to pick up the revolutionary banner that reads: “NO MORE RED INK.” It will surely be painful for everyone but it’s a revolution in thinking that’s long overdue. [caption id="attachment_5940" align="alignright" width="105"] Samantha Barks & Eddie Redmayne at the Barricade[/caption] “Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see? Then join the fight That will give you the right to be free”  It might very well take a modern day revolution to install leaders bold and brave enough to get done what must be done – to stop spending money that simply isn't there. And voters must begin to insist upon it – or else. “Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again”  You in? If you’re wavering you might want to see the movie to understand what's at stake. home

A Bullet Free Sky

by Diane Dimond on December 3, 2012

I want to introduce you to a truly thankful man. His name is Richard Smeraldo of Clearwater, Florida. After you hear his story, I promise, you will never forget it. [caption id="attachment_5832" align="alignleft" width="150"] The Bullet's Path Marks His Face[/caption] Richard, a happy-go-lucky 74, has always loved fireworks so this past July 4th he, his wife and a female friend went to a fireworks show at a nearby community, ironically, called Safety Harbor. There, sitting in an open field among 16,000 others, including children and their families, Smeraldo looked up into the night sky and ooh’ed and ahh’ed with delight. “It happened at a time when the fireworks had paused,” he told me at a recent dinner where we met. “It was right before the big finale. I thought I was hit with a baseball bat or a big rock … it was like something big just hit my nose.” Smeraldo suddenly realized he was, “bleeding all over the place.” And, his friend sitting on the grass in front of him also cried out in pain. She felt as though something had violently poked her in the back. [caption id="attachment_5833" align="alignright" width="150"] Richard Describes Bullet's Path[/caption] That “something”, as it turned out, was a 9 mm bullet. Police believe it had been shot into the night sky by a reckless Independence Day celebrant and that it had ricocheted off Richard and struck his friend. Because a bullet can travel as far as three miles (depending on the caliber) police still have no suspect. Think about the path this stray bullet took! It came down out of the sky with such force that it tore through the bill of Richard’s baseball cap - leaving a perfect hole – before nearly slicing off parts of his face. “The bullet went through my nose, out my nostril, through my chin and hit a medallion that my daughter had given me,” Smeraldo told me. I couldn’t help but notice the healing scars on his face as he used his finger to trace the bullet’s path as he spoke. I imagined what would have happened to this kindly man had his head been in just a slightly different position. The emergency room doctors believe Richard’s metal medallion necklace kept the bullet from penetrating his chest and perhaps killing him. That conclusion still causes the retiree to shake his head in disbelief. [caption id="attachment_5834" align="alignleft" width="150"] A Necklace Like This May Have Saved His Life[/caption] He told me the necklace had been a recent gift from his 28 year old cancer-stricken (but now recovering) daughter. He had it engraved with a biblical verse his mother often quoted, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, nothing shall be impossible unto you.” “I sure felt like someone was watching over me that night,” he said in a quiet voice. Coincidentally, that same July 4th night Florida TV stations had run a news story – unseen by Richard – featuring a woman who lived in nearby Ruskin, Florida. Sandy Duran looked into the camera and begged people with guns not to shoot them into the sky in celebration. She explained that six months earlier, on New Year’s Eve, her 12 year old son had been hit squarely on the top of his head by an errant bullet after he had stepped outside to ring in 2012. He was hospitalized for six months and endured several surgeries. [caption id="attachment_5836" align="alignright" width="150"] Diego, center, and His Loving Family[/caption] “Diego was not in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said. “He was in the right place. He was right in front of his house where he should be safe.” Today, Diego is recovering but has short term memory problems. The Duran family launched an education campaign against celebratory gunfire they call A Bullet Free Sky and on their web site they sell bracelets, T-shirts and bumper stickers to help finance their effort. Also offered now are replicas of Smeraldo ’s life-saving necklace – lovingly made by Richard who feels a real kinship with Diego. “This is not to get people to not have guns,” he told me on the phone the other day. “It’s all about the education for people who happen to own guns.” [caption id="attachment_5837" align="alignleft" width="150"] Killed in Church, Marquel Peters, 4[/caption] Richard and Diego’s stories are not as rare as you might think. In Decatur, Georgia four year old Marquel Peters was in church with his parents on New Year’s Day 2010 when a bullet smashed through the roof struck him in the head and killed him. Last year, celebratory gunfire on New Year’s Day took the life of Karla Michelle Negron, 15, in Puerto Rico. On that same day in Miami a six year old tourist from Italy was hit by a stray was bullet that punctured his lung. Over the years, intoxicated celebratory shooters in New York City, New Orleans and Orlando have been tracked down and prosecuted on charges ranging from weapons violations to manslaughter. All across the country law enforcement agencies are now gearing up for the anticipated next round of holiday gun madness caused by those who simply don’t think through the consequences of their wildly irresponsible actions. Geez, even a kid can tell you, “What goes up must come down.” [caption id="attachment_5838" align="alignright" width="90"] Imagine a 9 mm Slamming Into Your Head/Face[/caption] After years of senseless maimings and death this stupidity still goes on – even at Christmas time according to reports I’ve read. Isn’t it time to get tough on these people? In some states, randomly firing a gun into the air is automatically considered a felony. Yet, in far too many others it is a mere misdemeanor. In researching this worldwide problem I discovered that in the Republic of Macedonia a person found guilty of firing off a gun during a celebration faces a mandatory prison sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Sounds about right to me. Celebrate the holidays - but lose the guns. home

The Rise and Fall of a Patriot

by Diane Dimond on November 26, 2012

[caption id="attachment_5808" align="alignleft" width="120"] He Dedicated His Life to Serve America[/caption] In 1970, a diminutive 18 year old from rural Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. traveled nine miles south from his parent’s home and checked in at the front gate at what would be his new residence for the next four years. He had worked hard in high school to get the grades to qualify for this unique place and in return he had pledged an additional five years of service to the organization. The young man was David Petraeus and by walking through the front gate at the U.S. Military Institute at West Point he committed to spending the next nine years of his life connected to the United States Army. By the end of his military career he had served 37 years and reached the rank of four-star General. This country invested heavily in developing Petraeus into the successful and well-decorated military leader he became. We spent about a million dollars on his extensive education: West Point, Ranger School, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. In the mid-80’s Princeton University where he earned both a Masters and his PhD in International Relations. And during that time, according to military and West Point sources, Petraeus would have been receiving take home military pay of between $50,000 and $60,000 thousand a year. Low cost commissary goods and housing (or a housing allowance) was also part of the deal.  [caption id="attachment_5809" align="alignright" width="150"] What Happens to Our Investment Now?[/caption] Multiply this government support over 37 years and it is likely America has invested multiple millions of taxpayer dollars for the education, transportation and development of David Petraeus. To be sure this country got a considerable return on its considerable investment. Among his long list of accomplishments, General Petraeus commanded a division that helped liberate Iraq and he steered the course for America’s exit from the war in Afghanistan. As we all know, last September Petraeus resigned from the military to become Director of the CIA. And then he had a brief extra marital affair that forced him to resign as the nation’s top spy. The CIA director simply cannot compromise national security by allowing outsiders to get close to classified information, say, on his iPhone, laptop computer or briefcase. Even though Petraeus, now 60, was no longer operating under the military law that deems adultery a crime – he had to go. He fell back on the West Point Code of Honor which states that no cadet will lie, cheat or steal or tolerate anyone who does. Petraeus resigned from the CIA and it was the right thing to do. [caption id="attachment_5810" align="alignleft" width="150"] The General and His Wife, Holly - Married 37 Years[/caption] Where I have a problem, however, is the pious and sometimes vicious condemnation of the man. Words like, “Fraud”, “Scum, “Hypocrite,” and even “Traitor” have been used repeatedly to describe David Petraeus. Yes, he made a terrible mistake but let’s be honest. He succumbed to the most common and mundane of human weaknesses – a sexual affair with a thirty-something woman. When President Bill Clinton shamed the office by having sexual relations with a young woman not much older than his daughter – (and didn’t have the decency to resign after being impeached for lying about it under oath) – I was, personally, disgusted. Not so much with General Petraeus. A double standard? No, not really. There is no comparing a career politician to a career military patriot. Both pledged loyalty to America, of course, but in this equation only one has selflessly dedicated his whole life in service to the country. [caption id="attachment_5811" align="alignright" width="150"] Major Mike Lyons, West Point Graduate[/caption] Major Mike Lyons (Ret.) told me that David and Holly Petraeus moved 22 times in 30 years to keep up with his burdensome re-assignments. As a fellow West Point graduate Lyons is friendly with many inside Petraeus’s inner circle. He estimates that during the last six or seven years Petraeus spent about five years deployed abroad. The entire Petraeus family, according to Lyons, has endured, “tremendous instability,” on behalf of the country. Clinton, who deliberately never served a day in the military, seems to me to have been motivated more by his own personal goals and partisan politics. And unlike the head of the CIA, Clinton occupied the highest and most powerful position in the country – some would argue, in the world. So, for those so quick to condemn a man like Petraeus who briefly strayed outside his marriage I have to ask, shouldn’t we consider his whole life? Petraeus’s dedication to country for nearly four decades surely must count for something, right? [caption id="attachment_5812" align="alignleft" width="150"] Mistress Paula Broadwell & Her Book on Petraeus[/caption] When I expressed this feeling to a pal of mine – a former U.S. Marine – he sent me an eye-opening e-mail. “Our warriors all understand they are held to a higher standard and they accept that as a consequence of their service. We don't want people who compromise integrity or make excuses because we also have to rely on these extraordinary warriors to act with uncompromising valor on the battlefield.” He concluded by saying, “Only those who have served understand this, I guess.” Well, I have never served in the military but several members of my family have. And, I remember that awful time after Vietnam when America turned its back on brave warriors and called them names too. Remember “baby-killers?” If we respond to momentary lapses of judgment among our career military personnel with invectives like “psychotic” and “egomaniac,” (as I heard Petraeus described recently) then where will we find the next generation of 18 year olds knocking on West Point’s front gate? Let’s stop kicking the dog while he’s down, shall we? home

Presidential Debates Ignore Issue That Affects Millions – Crime

by Diane Dimond on October 29, 2012

[caption id="attachment_5741" align="alignleft" width="150"] Crime Rates Are Down But Hardly Low[/caption]   Imagine a country where citizens collectively own more than 300 million guns. It is a place where more than 14,700 thousand people were murdered in 2010. And in this country, nearly 85-thousand people were forcibly raped during that same year. More than 6 million people are in prison or on criminal supervision. In addition, people who live in this nation endure hundreds of thousands of burglaries, robberies, aggravated assaults and thefts of their vehicles every year. Sounds like a pretty uncivilized country doesn’t it? Well, this is America, folks. [caption id="attachment_5742" align="alignright" width="150"] Neither Romney nor Obama Care to Talk Crime[/caption] These chilling statistics are our statistics. Yet, after four presidential and vice presidential debates there was barely a word said about crime and justice. Oh, there was one gun question from a woman at the Hempstead, N.Y, Town Hall debate between President Obama and Governor Romney but neither man really answered undecided voter Nina Gonzalez. “President Obama, during the Democratic National Convention in 2008, you stated you wanted to keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals,” Gonzalez asked. “What has your administration done or plan to do to limit the availability of assault weapons?” There was blah-blah from both candidates but no substantive answers. There have been no debate questions about topics parents worry about every day their children walk out the door: Drugs, gang violence, teen suicides or pregnancy, or schools and recreational activities haunted by pedophiles. Nothing was said about the scourge of mortgage or credit card fraud, identity theft, elder abuse or cyber-stalking. [caption id="attachment_5743" align="alignleft" width="126"] No Crime Questions to Veeps Either[/caption] Now, to be fair the candidates can’t answer what they aren’t asked. While no moderator bothered to ask about crime and justice issues let’s be honest - the topics haven’t been the focus of any of the candidate’s stump speeches either. They just haven’t been a priority, yet both campaigns say they want to attract women voters. How can they fail to see that these issues go to every mother’s heart and soul - how to keep their loved ones from harm? To be sure the economy, jobs, health care and international relations are important but those subjects have already been discussed ad nauseam. If you don’t know what the candidates think about them you simply aren’t paying attention. And, yes, crime rates in America are down from previous years but does anyone believe we live in a safe and secure country? If you do, please re-read the statistics at the top of this column. [caption id="attachment_5746" align="alignright" width="150"] Policy Wonk Questions Instead of Quality of Life Questions[/caption] Sometimes I wonder about the tunnel vision of journalists who cover national politics. Did they all grow up in pristine neighborhoods where there was no crime? Has their status covering presidential candidates blinded them from seeing what regular folks have to grapple with? Why do they mostly lob policy-wonk questions? Can’t just one of them ask a presidential candidate, for example, to analyze the wisdom of spending tens of billions of dollars a year on overcrowded prisons? Might our tax dollars be better spent? We don’t know what the candidates think because no one asks. There were no follow up questions about guns after Ms. Gonzalez asked about AK-47’s. No one bothered to ask Mr. Obama about the current astronomical jump in the murder rate in his adopted home town of Chicago where there have been more than 400 murders so far this year. There were no questions to the candidates about what might be done to help this bloody American battleground or whether either man has a relief plan for cities gripped by such violence. None of the debates delivered any satisfying answers about our country’s lousy immigration policy either. During the second debate they briefly tossed mud on each other’s past statements about the topic but neither Obama nor Romney outlined a concrete plan for what we should do with the estimated 12 million people who are in this country illegally, draining our resources and adding to our crime rate.

A recent congressional report concluded that of the 36,000 illegals picked up and then released (between 2006 and 2011) a number went on to commit, “murder, sex crimes, kidnapping, domestic abuse, lynching, stalking and torture,” as well as thousands of DUI’s and drug violations. Oh, yeah. One more point. No candidate has talked about what he might do to quell the raging civil war in Mexico where drug-fueled violence has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of innocents and spills over onto U.S. soil.

BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION

by Diane Dimond on October 22, 2012

[caption id="attachment_5723" align="alignleft" width="120"] BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION, A Decidedly Unhappy Time for Some[/caption]

 

Here we go again. STENDRA dosage, Law enforcement officers nationwide are about to stage their annual pre-Halloween effort to make sure everyone listed on the local Sex Offenders Registry knows - (imagine this being said in a spooky voice with a scary laugh at the end) THEY ARE BEING WATCHED.

This annual charade is also supposed to help the community feel safer, online buy STENDRA without a prescription. STENDRA from canada, I’m here to tell you it is nonsense.

The intimidation campaign is a silly diversion of manpower and a waste of your tax dollars, STENDRA online cod. Police and the politicians who are in search of tough-on-crime votes will tell you otherwise but don’t believe the myth that Halloween is the night child sexual predators wait all year for, BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION. Where to buy STENDRA, The facts tell a different story.

[caption id="attachment_5724" align="alignright" width="120"] Imagine a Lifetime of Surveillance[/caption]

Those on the registry – convicts who have done their time and are trying hard to blend back into the population – will likely get a personal visit from officers, where can i cheapest STENDRA online. Purchase STENDRA online, Depending on the state in which they live they may be told that they must stay home Halloween night, that they must keep their lights off and not answer the door, STENDRA from canadian pharmacy. Taking STENDRA, Many will be required to display a sign that reads something like: “No Candy At This Residence.” There could be other restrictions too: No holiday decorations outside the home; no dressing up in costume; no attending holiday parties, haunted houses, where can i order STENDRA without prescription, Buy cheap STENDRA no rx, hay rides or any other Halloween activity where children gather. BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION, Now, let’s look at the facts. Over the last several decades there has not been one reported instance that I can find of a convicted sex offender molesting a child on Halloween night, STENDRA samples. STENDRA used for, Shall I repeat that. Despite all the hysteria I couldn’t find evidence of even one case, my STENDRA experience. What is STENDRA, Further, a huge majority of these convicts never re-offend, order STENDRA no prescription.

The only Halloween tragedy my research turned up was back in 1973 in Milwaukee where a little 9 year old girl, trick-or-treating by herself, went to the home of a stranger named Gerald Turner, BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION. Discount STENDRA, Turner, a man with no criminal record, cheap STENDRA, Purchase STENDRA online no prescription, raped and killed the child. Using today’s guidelines Turner wouldn’t even warrant a visit since he was not a known molester, is STENDRA addictive. Australia, uk, us, usa, [caption id="attachment_5725" align="alignleft" width="150"] Media Falls for the Unnecessary P.R. Campaign[/caption]

Fact: Our sex registry system is foolish, STENDRA treatment. BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION, It lumps in everyone who ever mooned or streaked or urinated in public with hardcore career pedophiles. Low dose STENDRA, A registrant may have been a teenager caught with a girlfriend in the backseat, the victim of a vindictive ex-wife who made abuse allegations or a man who, doses STENDRA work, STENDRA mg, legitimately, believed his partner was over 18, STENDRA interactions. Buy no prescription STENDRA online, Whether they are a public urinator or Jerry Sandusky they all occupy the same space on our misguided registry. And in four states – California, STENDRA pictures, STENDRA blogs, Alabama, South Carolina and Florida – once placed on the list the offender is there for the rest of their lives, STENDRA trusted pharmacy reviews. Anyone with half a brain knows it’s the dedicated pedophile – that person who will always choose a child for sex over an adult – who we should spend our time watching. So why aren’t we, BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION.

Fact: No matter what you have heard sex offenders rarely repeat their crimes. Studies by Dr. Jill Levenson (and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice) have concluded the recidivism rate for sex crimes related convicts is about 5 to 5.3%. BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION, That is a whole lot lower than the recidivism rate for burglars, robbers, murderers, those who commit assault or drive drunk. Yet none of them are restricted in how they can live their lives after the justice system is done with them.

[caption id="attachment_5728" align="alignright" width="150"] Lawyer Janice Bellucci Files Civil Rights Suit[/caption]

In my opinion, every time an officer hassles a registrant around Halloween they are violating that person’s civil rights. These people are already severely restricted on where they can live, work, worship and seek entertainment. Their home address and past crimes are listed on the internet for all to see. What will the pols and the police think up next, BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION. How about curbing their movements around July 4th or Christmas time.

California attorney Janice Bellucci has just filed suit to stop Simi Valley, California from enforcing its new ordinance mandating Halloween harassment. The suit claims the law, “suppresses and unduly chills protected speech and expression.”

Bellucci, the wife of a minister, became interested in the issue after her long-time plumber wrote a book (“We’re All in This Together, by Frank Lindsay) about his experience as a sex registry lifer.

“When I read it I was shocked,” Bellucci told me on the phone. “So shocked that any group in our society would be treated that way.”

[caption id="attachment_5729" align="alignleft" width="150"] BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION, The Trick is: It is Unconstitutional[/caption]

Bellucci worked with rape victims for years so she sees both side of the problem but she filed suit on behalf of ten registrants and their family members because, “People naturally like to commit mischief on Halloween,” she said. “I fear someone could see that sign outside their front door and set the (registrant’s) house on fire … or shoot a gun into the home.” She’s hoping the California court will act in time to strike down the law before the end of October.

The fact is, worried parents and police should be watching everyone on Halloween and not just one segment of the population that, statistically, is so unlikely to commit a crime. To do otherwise puts our children in danger. How about diverting manpower to check for drug dealers or drunk drivers careening through darkened neighborhoods full of costumed kids.

Think about this, BUY STENDRA NO PRESCRIPTION. These Halloween laws are really no different than isolating segments of the population and branding them with a scarlet “A” as an adulterer or with a Star of David as a Jew. Shame on us. It is time to declare these Halloween laws for what they are: unconstitutional.

STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER

by Diane Dimond on October 15, 2012

[caption id="attachment_5710" align="alignleft" width="150"] STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER, Sandusky Arrives for Sentencing[/caption]

As my mother used to say, “He looked like death warmed over.”When Jerry Sandusky entered the courthouse in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania to hear his sentence he looked like a completely different man.

Gone was the suit and tie I saw him wear each day of his child sex abuse trial. STENDRA over the counter, Gone was the bounce in his step and his rosy cheeks. Today, after nearly four months in solitary confinement, order STENDRA from mexican pharmacy, the convicted child sex predator looks as though he’s lost at least thirty pounds. STENDRA cost, His red prison scrubs hung loosely from his body. His gait was wobbly, his posture stooped and his face a pasty grey, STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER. He blew a kiss to his wife in the far right front row and grimaced as he sat on the hard wooden chair at the defense table.

[caption id="attachment_5711" align="alignright" width="150"] Dottie Sandusky on Sentencing Day[/caption]

I was in the second row, STENDRA duration, to the left of Dottie Sandusky, STENDRA brand name, four of the couple’s six adopted children and their supporters. They wept when they caught sight of Sandusky entering court. I thought since he looked so diminished he must have been spending time repenting for his crimes – 45 counts of deviant sexual abuse against ten boys from his Second Mile charity, get STENDRA. STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER, I was completely wrong.

Sandusky was passive as the judge officially proclaimed him “a violent sexual predator” under Pennsylvania’s Meghan Law. STENDRA forum, The defense didn’t even put up a fight. The Prosecutor, Joe McGettigan, STENDRA street price, read scathing victim impact statements from Victim No. STENDRA alternatives, 1 and the mother of Victim No. 9, STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER.

“Jerry Sandusky is the worst kind of pedophile,” the now-18 year old victim wrote, STENDRA australia, uk, us, usa. “He smiles and smirked his way through these proceedings. STENDRA steet value, There is no remorse or regret – only evil.” The mother’s statement lamented the loss of her son’s innocence. “Many nights I sit up and cry. STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER, Not only did you molest him,” she wrote. “You caused him a lifetime of pain … all for your sexual gratification, STENDRA no prescription. How cruel of you!”

[caption id="attachment_5713" align="alignleft" width="120"] Judge John Cleland Presided & Sentenced[/caption]

Three of the victims, Cheap STENDRA no rx, now in their twenties, were determined to face their attacker in court.

A recent bible college graduate, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, Victim No. No prescription STENDRA online, 6, took a ragged deep breath as he told Sandusky, “You can choose to be in denial of what you’ve done (but) I think you are only fooling yourself, is STENDRA safe. It’s time to stop.” Sandusky, sitting just feet away, stared at the young man’s profile as he addressed the judge and showed absolutely no emotion, STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER.

A visibly shaken Victim No. Order STENDRA online overnight delivery no prescription, 5 sniffled his way through his statement. “He called it horseplay (in the shower) … but I am troubled by flashbacks of his naked body,” he said, fast shipping STENDRA. He asked the judge to, Buy STENDRA from mexico, “take into account the tears, pain and private anguish I and others have endured.” Again, no reaction from Sandusky, STENDRA reviews.

[caption id="attachment_5714" align="alignright" width="120"] STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER, Cameras Outside But Not Inside Court[/caption]

The last to speak, Victim No. 4, Online STENDRA without a prescription, had been involved with and pursued by the once popular PSU football coach for years. When this survivor spoke to the court he looked directly at Sandusky. “You did terrible things, STENDRA canada, mexico, india. I can’t tell you how you’ve screwed up my life, Effects of STENDRA, ” he said emphatically. “You should be ashamed of yourself.” No reaction from the defense table but then a quiet gasp from the gallery when the young man asked forgiveness from other Sandusky victims, STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER. “I ask those who were abused after me to forgive me for not coming out sooner.”

The Judge had warned Sandusky, via his attorney, buy STENDRA from canada, the afternoon before that while he had the right to make a pre-sentencing statement he did not have the right to bash the judicial system or the victims. STENDRA for sale, Within hours Team Sandusky figured out a way around that by using the radio station at Penn State (no less!) to broadcast a three minute audio tape of Sandusky from jail. Just who taped it and gave it to the station remains a mystery but Sandusky was heard blasting prosecutors, investigators, STENDRA used for, media and Penn State officials who had conspired against him. Where can i buy cheapest STENDRA online, He vilified the victims calling them “disturbed” and attention seekers.

[caption id="attachment_5715" align="alignleft" width="120"] STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER, Sentenced and Back to Lock-Up[/caption]

Those incendiary comments were stripped from the statement he delivered before Judge John Cleland but the message of Sandusky’s 15 minute soliloquy to the court was loud and clear. Everyone was lying. He was innocent, STENDRA online cod.

I won’t bore you with all the details of Sandusky’s bizarre comments. Canada, mexico, india, You had to be there to truly understand how self-serving it was. He said his biggest pain was the separation from his wife, his family and his dog, Bo, STENDRA OVER THE COUNTER. His voice cracked when he spoke of seeing a brighter future ahead where he would be free to throw, “thousands of kids in the air, what is STENDRA,” to see his dog lick their faces and play with balloons. He declared that his wife of 46 years had been his only sex partner in life – and that they had waited until after marriage.

It was the strangest statement I’ve ever seen a prisoner deliver and I’ve been doing this for a long time. Especially when you realize that that the prosecutor had nine more alleged victims ready to testify should a re-trial be necessary. Four other men have now come forward to say Sandusky molested them too.

Judge Cleland called Sandusky’s conspiracy theory “unbelievable” and sentenced him to spend no less than 30 years and no more than 60 years in prison. The judge added that for a man of 68 “That means for the rest of your life.”

I believe justice was done.

Understand that this is not a column touting either Republican or Democratic politicians, where to buy NORDIAZEPAM. NORDIAZEPAM brand name, This is about the reporters who cover those politicians for a living and what I see as their monumental failure to serve the public.


I've been there done that. During my career I've covered presidential campaigns and conventions, NORDIAZEPAM class, Generic NORDIAZEPAM, the U.S. Congress and the White House, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. While it has always been a game of reporters trying to coax real news out of calculating politicians and their strategists today's manipulation of the media - and reporters willingness to be used as conduits in the current trend of “politics of destruction” - is over the top bad.

At a time when the economy is sputtering, unemployment remains intolerably high, health care is unattainable for so many Americans and the future of young people seems so dim the media covering the presidential race concentrates on the mundane, BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Where can i find NORDIAZEPAM online, Why. Because it’s easier than trying to clearly explain candidate’s solutions to looming problems like Medicare, australia, uk, us, usa, Buy cheap NORDIAZEPAM no rx, Social Security or the multiple-trillion dollar deficit. And let’s face it, NORDIAZEPAM maximum dosage, NORDIAZEPAM street price, those topics just aren’t as sexy as some of the “scandals” being laid in the media’s lap.

When one horribly mis-informed republican congressman makes a stupid crack about “legitimate rape” and how a woman's reproductive system can shut down during an attack, NORDIAZEPAM results, Buy NORDIAZEPAM from mexico, do you think his comments should taint every member of the GOP.

NORDIAZEPAM price, coupon, But political strategists, hoping to tap into the worst in human nature, buy NORDIAZEPAM from canada, Purchase NORDIAZEPAM for sale, have found a home for their ugly tales with undiscerning campaign reporters who with hypercritical fervor glom on to any and all controversies, preferring them to stories of substance, NORDIAZEPAM overnight. What’s worse is that when questioned, the straight-faced reporter defends the insipid stories as important for voters to know, BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Buying NORDIAZEPAM online over the counter, Do they think we are that stupid?


[caption id="attachment_5600" align="alignright" width="120" caption="Political Reporters at White House Press Room"][/caption]


The New York Times, Reuters, buy NORDIAZEPAM no prescription, Is NORDIAZEPAM safe, Vanity Fair and the internet site The Huffington Post recently revealed they have engaged in the controversial policy of letting political strategists approve and tweak their own quotes before publication.

NORDIAZEPAM alternatives, Since when did reporters so openly agree to be used by the candidates. It’s journalism 101 to refuse to play such dishonest games, NORDIAZEPAM samples. It turns my stomach.

Some in the media are catching on and wising up. National Public Radio’s Capitol Hill reporter, Andrea Seabrook says that after 14 years on the beat she realized she was, “Actually sort of colluding with the politicians themselves.” Seabrook says couldn’t participate in the game anymore because she felt she was, “Lied to every day, all day.” So, she quit her job. I salute her bravery in standing up for ethical of journalism. So many reporters seem to have forgotten that we are supposed to report the truth and not simply parrot calculating politicians.


[caption id="attachment_5605" align="alignright" width="120" caption="Jake Tapper, ABC's White House Reporter"][/caption]


White House Correspondent Jake Tapper of ABC News hasn’t forgotten. He recently made a stunning public acknowledgement about this year’s political coverage saying, “The media is failing the country."MSNBC’s political analyst Mark Halprin, asked about Romney’s refusal to release any more tax returns declared, "The media are very susceptible to doing what the Obama campaign wants, which is to focus on this."


Again, I’m not here to pick a side or to even talk about media bias for one political party or the other. I’m here to say that at a crucial time in our nation’s history the media is cheating you out of meaningful information that could help you make a critical decision about who should be our next president.


This is a challenge to every news executive out there, BUY NORDIAZEPAM NO PRESCRIPTION. Stick to the stories that matter. Get your reporters back on track and refuse to be used in this obviously partisan political sport. This isn’t a game anymore. The future of the country depends on a clear, un-distracted focus on our monumental problems and who is best to help us back away from the cliff.

BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION

by Diane Dimond on June 4, 2012

[caption id="attachment_5360" align="alignleft" width="120" caption="A Confession is Just the Beginning"] BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION, [/caption]

It is hard to believe or understand but people confess to committing crimes – sometimes horrible crimes – when they are completely innocent. It happens more often than you can imagine, ALBEGO without prescription. Real brand ALBEGO online, False confessions can be traced to unjust interrogation techniques, poor legal advice or even the mental illness of the suspect, order ALBEGO from mexican pharmacy. ALBEGO without a prescription, That’s one reason detectives involved in the groundbreaking missing persons case of six year old Etan Patz are still hard at work even though 51 year old Pedro Hernandez has now confessed to killing the boy more than three decades ago. False confessions often come in to police around the anniversary of high profile, is ALBEGO safe, ALBEGO price, unsolved cases and Hernandez made his self-incriminating statements to police just days before the 33rd anniversary of Etan’s disappearance.

[caption id="attachment_5364" align="alignright" width="120" caption="Etan's Case Sparked a Movement in America"][/caption]

Detectives must proceed cautiously as they work to find corroborating evidence to back up the Hernandez confession, BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION. They are faced with multiple hurdles as they search for clues, ALBEGO from mexico. After ALBEGO, You’ve likely heard the latest about the case. For reasons unknown the New York District Attorney re-opened the cold case of Etan Patz recently and detectives compiled a list of possible suspects (Hernandez was not among them.)

Working from that list the NYPD and the FBI dug up the basement of a handyman who worked in the Patz’s neighborhood and had given Etan a dollar the day before he disappeared, australia, uk, us, usa. ALBEGO maximum dosage, When six year old Etan left his home the morning of May 25, 1979 clutching that dollar – having convinced his parents to let him walk to the corner bus stop alone for the first time – he told his mother he was going to stop and buy a soda at the corner bodega, ALBEGO schedule.

[caption id="attachment_5365" align="alignleft" width="120" caption="Pedro Hernandez - Is He Really Etan Patz's KIller?"] BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION, [/caption]

In the April 2012 dig authorities found nothing at the handyman’s basement. Canada, mexico, india, But the news about the effort sparked Hernandez’s brother-in-law, Jose Lopez, ALBEGO blogs, Online buying ALBEGO hcl, to call police and tell them that Pedro had been confessing to the crime for years. Hernandez had been an 18 year old stock boy at the bodega and he admitted he had lured Etan down into the store’s basement, discount ALBEGO, ALBEGO dose, strangled him and put his body out at the curb in a trash bag. The supposition is that a sanitation truck picked up the forty pound bag and dumped it at one of several nearby landfills, ALBEGO brand name. ALBEGO photos, Hernandez’s motive is still not clear although one report was that the boy “reminded him of his least favorite nephew.”

Police Chief Raymond Kelly told reporters at a news conference last week, “In the years following Etan’s disappearance Hernandez had told a family member and others that quote, ALBEGO duration, Where to buy ALBEGO, ‘He had done a bad thing and killed a child in New York.’” The family swears it told their local New Jersey police about Pedro’s confession back in the 80’s but the news apparently never made it to detectives in Manhattan.

[caption id="attachment_5366" align="alignright" width="120" caption="NYPD's Kelly Announcing the Hernandez Confession"][/caption]

So, with the confession in hand some folks are talking like this case is a done deal, BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION. But that’s not the way it works, ALBEGO no prescription. Buy no prescription ALBEGO online, A confession does not a case make.

Hernandez’s attorney has said his client is bi-polar, online ALBEGO without a prescription, ALBEGO samples, schizophrenic and suffers from hallucinations. With that description, ALBEGO interactions, ALBEGO gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, the ground has been tilled for a defense claim of false confession or a request to dismiss the second degree murder charges for lack of evidence. BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION, A clever defense attorney could also point to the fact that over the last three decades Hernandez has never been on any suspects list. In fact, ALBEGO used for, Rx free ALBEGO, suspicion has long focused on a man named Jose Ramos, a convicted pedophile who has been in prison for years for sexually molesting young boys, buy ALBEGO from canada. ALBEGO for sale, Ramos was dating Etan’s babysitter at the time the boy disappeared.

[caption id="attachment_5367" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="The Bodega Search 33 Years Later - courtesy NY Times blog"][/caption]

This is why it is so important for detectives to find corroborating evidence to – as they put it – “Stand up the confession.” It is a daunting task. First, there is no body and no possibility of finding forensics to tie Hernandez to any crime. There is no murder weapon to test for evidence and there is, literally, no crime scene left as the gritty bodega has been renovated and is now a fashionable eye-glass store, BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION. Detectives are interviewing everyone in the Hernandez family to see how often he might have said something about killing a child and whether he may have revealed any details about the crime. They are talking to every available former bodega employee to determine if anyone remembers anything specific about that day or about Hernandez himself that might be important. And forensic investigators have swooped down on the store front to check for any possible clue that might remain. I doubt if they are hopeful of finding anything. BUY ALBEGO NO PRESCRIPTION, [caption id="attachment_5368" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Stan Patz, 70, Today"][/caption]

I recently saw a news clip of the Patz’s filmed years ago when they were in their 30’s. They looked so young and hopeful and they spoke of waiting as long as they needed for their son to come home. Thirty-three years later Stan and Julie Patz still live in the same apartment and say they kept the same phone number over the years in case Etan ever tried to find them.

America was a different place back then. In 1979, Stan Patz, having put up fistfuls of flyers bearing his son’s image lamented that it was easier to locate a missing car than a missing child. He was right. It was the horrendous and mysterious disappearance of little Etan that sparked the phenomena of placing missing children’s photos on milk cartons. Today, everyone is aware of the risk to children.
