  • Alabama helps protect Funerals from WestBro.

    Alabama Governor has signed a laws that will restrict protests of funerals considering the past actions of Westbro group. The House Bill 238 will put a 1000 foot boundary that will protect those against those who wish to cause them emotional anguish.

    Governor Bentley today held a ceremonial signing of House Bill 238, sponsored by Rep. DuWayne Bridges (R-Valley), which sets a perimeter of 1000 feet, or two blocks, for any disruption of a funeral in Alabama. The bill passed by unanimous votes in both the House and Senate during the recently completed legislative session.

    I found the full bill online for review to see all the fine details. Here are the meat and potatoes of the bill.

    A person commits the crime of disrupting a funeral or memorial service if, during the 60 minutes immediately preceding a funeral or memorial service that has a scheduled starting time, during the funeral or memorial service, or immediately following the funeral or memorial service, the person does any of the following with the intention of disrupting the funeral or memorial service:

    Engages in a protest, including, but not 25 limited to, protest with or without using an electric sound amplification device, that involves singing, chanting, whistling, yelling, or honking a motor vehicle horn within 500-1,000 feet of the entrance to a facility being used for a 4 funeral or memorial service.

    Blocks access to a facility being used for the service.

    Impedes vehicles that he or she knows are part of the procession.

    For purposes of this section, the term “facility” includes a funeral home, church, or cemetery in
    which the funeral or memorial service takes place.

    A violation of subsection is a Class A 13 misdemeanor for the first conviction and a Class C felony for
    14 each subsequent conviction.”

    It may not stop them completely but another law like this passing is always a good thing.

  • Tattoos and the Small Pox vaccination.

    I thought that this was not needed but it seems that I was wrong. For some reason it seems that people are not taking their Small Pox vaccination safety brief seriously. Recent stories about people getting tattoos shortly after getting the shot are coming to my attention. It should be notied that everyone getting the shot is instructed on the things that you cannot do after getting the shot. So things like this should not be happening.

    I want to get a tattoo placed on my smallpox vaccination site. How long should I wait?

    Before getting a tattoo, wait until the smallpox vaccination site has fully healed, the scab has fallen off, and the skin is intact and dry. It may take longer than the average 30 to 60 days after your vaccination before the skin is ready for tattooing. Please contact the VHC if you have additional questions.

    But it seems that some of you are not getting this through your head. For example when I see post like this.

    Q (In Air Force).
    can you get a tattoo in the opposite arm of where you received a smallpox vaccination?

    A.
    Yes you can get inked up, but just give a week just to be on the safeside the vaccination has no counter action 🙂

    Q Reply to A;
    thank god. i got the vaccination last week on wednesday and im scheduled for a half sleeve on the opposite arm this saturday. i just wanted to make sure i wasnt gonna start some epidemic. good to know. thanks

    Then there is this one too.

    Q;
    Does it really matter if i get a tattoo while i have the smallpox vaccine? Like seriously. I want one so bad. BEFORE I leave the states, I dont trust foreign countries to tat me up hhaha

    A.
    I am no medical expert but from what I’m reading the vaccine and the tattoo shouldn’t interfere with each other. You can get a vaccine on the same day you get a tattoo. Make sure you go to a safe parlor.

    I am worried because people are doing things like this and creating a risk to everyone.

    SMALLPOX (DRYVAX) Side Effects Report #254130
    SMALLPOX (DRYVAX) vaccine side effect was reported on 04/17/2006. Male patient, 20.0 years of age, was vaccinated with SMALLPOX (DRYVAX). Patient symptoms: Injection site vesicles, “Soldier received smallpox vaccine on 4April06 after receiving a briefing on the care of smallpox vaccination sites and soldier also verified the care of vaccine site with the immunization provider and the PA prior to being vaccinated. Soldier returned to the clinic on 10April 06. He stated that he had gotten a tattoo on 7April06 and that he now has bumps around the tattoo and was not sure if it was from the smallpox vaccine or from a reaction from the tattoo. Soldier was instructed to cover bumps and to monitor them for changes and to return to clinic for further changes. Soldier returned to clinic today. Bumps have been spreading to arms and torso, each site covered with gauze, tape and ace wrap. Soldier instructed to return to clinic every morning for bandage changes. Soldier again given instructions for care of innoculated sites and was told to change bed linens, wash towels, and to spray with bleach all surfaces he had touched. Soldier also reported to his chain of command.” NONENONE . During the same period patient was treated with NO. Patient recovered.

    Also the consequences from getting a tattoo after getting a Smallpox vaccination are no joke. Range from being sued by the CDC, the Tattoo Studio and anyone else who was put at risk by your actions. Not to mention a possible Dishonorable discharge from the Military. This is not a Joke.

  • When did the DSC become a TV prop?

    The DSC on Fresh Beat Band.

    OK I was watching the Fresh Beat Band, a TV show on Nick Jr with my kid. Then I saw the image above. So I am wondering who’s bright idea was it on the show to use the second highest decoration for valor as a TV prop? I mean I think that it is a good show. My son loves them and got to see them live in San Antonio. But this is proof that that people in costume and wardrobe use medals because they look regal. Perhaps if they fully understood what people have done to be deemed worthy to wear it that perhaps they would see the error of their ways. We will see.

    I am going to write themto see what kind of answer I will get.

  • Not smiling Now.

    A while ago I found a group called Journey to Smiles. I havewritten about them and how they seem to be happy and cheerful. Well not so much now. I guess it is hard when you have to deal with reality rather then living in never land.

    On and it seems that they have a video that claimed that they are still playing the tool for groups like Rethink Afghanistan with videos like this. Yea when I first read about them they seemed misguided but their hearts in the right place, now they are just a political tool that will be thrown away when their use is done.

  • Fake SEAL and Area 51.(UPDATED)

    Today we have another Fake SEAL by the name of “WOOD, WILLIAM “BILL”” that claims that he was part of SEAL Team 9. Oh and he claims to be part of secert missions in the middle east.

    This is an interview with an ex-Navy SEAL, who, during the years 1992-2000 was sent on top secret bombing missions in the Middle East, predominantly in Iraq. Years after the first Gulf War when we were supposedly not at war with Iraq yet he and SEAL Team 9 were targeting Tomahawk Missiles on a monthly basis taking out targets that were increasingly “soft”… involving deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians. Find out how this highly trained young man and his team were coerced by the military into purposely destroying villages and creating future terrorists as part of a plan that would ultimately serve their dark purpose, the war on terror and 911.

    This is that worst kind of fake, in that when real veterans are doing everything to prove that we are stable and producitve citizans that this clown it doing everything to undo it. But of course in his case you need a group that wants to push the crazy meme for thier own personal agenda. But then again what is a fake without the crazy.

    And if that weren’t enough, hear how he was trained in Area 51 as a specially gifted group of highly classified psy spies to see beyond the famous Looking Glass technology into the future involving 2012 and beyond.

    The people at POW.network has been following him since Jan of this year. Oh, if anyone wants to talk to him, the group that did the interview are inviting people to email him.

    If after watching this video you wish to contact Bill Wood here is his email address for that purpose:

    Bill Wood

    If he responsed feel free to post it here.

    ADDED: It seems that people have been writing in to call BS on this guy and and thier answer is amusing to say the least.

    A CALL-OUT TO ALL NAVY SEALS AND CURRENT AND EX-MILITARY PERSONNEL

    If you are outraged by my interview with Bill Brockbrader and you don’t believe he was a Navy SEAL, I invite you to turn your analysis in the direction of the military authorities that you hold in such high esteem and entertain the notion that there is a parallel organization that is way above TOP SECRET that is working counter to your organizations.

    I guess crazy attracts crazy.

    UPDATED: Here is a new story about him sen from Pow.network.

    Bill Brockbrader claims to be a former member of Navy SEAL Team 9, a group of commandos with psychic abilities. If you’ve never heard of SEAL Team 9, there is a reason. And on dozens of web chats, blogs and Internet radio shows, he explains it all.

    If you do all of your research, you find out Seal Team 9 doesn’t exist.

    He says he was trained, in secret, alongside an actual Navy SEAL class, with all his records either classified or destroyed by the government.

    But it’s not classified. There are no secret SEALS. The names of every man who graduated SEAL training is a public record, and the Navy Special Warfare confirms Brockbrader’s name was never on that list.

    Brockbrader, who also goes by the name Bill Wood, says he got into trouble with the Navy for intentionally diverting a Tomahawk missile that was going to blow up Iraqi children. But federal records show the actual trouble was for having sex with a girl. U.S. Marshals jailed him this month because he moved to Idaho and never registered as a sex offender.

  • The court will not throw out charges against Pfc. Bradley Manning.

    It seems that he had asked that all of the charges be thrown out. Needless to say that motion was rejected.

    “The defense motion to dismiss … is denied,” military Judge Colonel Denise Lind said in a pretrial hearing, adding that if prosecutors could not prove in the trial phase that Manning knew intelligence given to WikiLeaks would reach enemy hands, the court would “provide appropriate motions.”

    Manning’s attorney, David Coombs, had pressed the court to dismiss the charge.

    Comparing Manning’s actions to that of a soldier speaking to a major newspaper, he argued that without an intent to provide information to the enemy, Manning’s actions constituted at most negligence.

    The ruling was another blow for Manning, who made several appeals over three days of pretrial hearings this week to reduce or dismiss all 22 charges against him. Those motions were all rejected.

    I would like to know why he is wearing new ASUs? Is this some kind of plan of making him look better in the court? Or the fact that he has only five ribbions and he cannot get them in right order?

    Manning’s alleged motive, as he stated in his online chat logs with a confidant-turned-informant, was “I want people to see the truth.”

    Yea, I really doubt that.

  • Visiting the Army they left behind.

    It seems that the students at the Air Assualt School as Fort Hood hand some honored guests. A group of Vietnam veterans got to see the Army they left and all the changes since then.

    Decades removed from their military experiences, a group of Vietnam veterans toured Fort Hood on Thursday and remarked on the differences and similiarities from when they served.

    “We drove by the (Warrior Skills Training Center) where they can simulate a Humvee turning over or getting hit, and we never had stuff like that,” said retired Army Sgt. J.C. Fischer, who served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968.

    But, he said, laughing, “The language is the same — all the bad words. And the rank structure, although the people in charge seem to be a little bit kinder to soldiers than back when I was in.”

    But one of the things that these Veterans have done is help make sure that the experences that they had are not faced by those who have followed them.

    “It started with the first Persian Gulf War,” said Briggs, 66, of the national shift in attitudes toward Vietnam veterans. “People may have disagreed with the war, but they never took it out on soldiers. During Vietnam, soldiers were the villains.”

    Sgt. 1st Class Scott Hansen, 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command, helped organize the day for the Counterparts. As the son of a retired soldier who served in Vietnam, Hansen called the opportunity to share Fort Hood with the group an honor.

    “(They) keep saying they’re honored we’re taking time out of our day for them,” said Hansen. “It should be the opposite.”

    First Sgt. James Williams of III Corps, senior noncommissioned officer of the Air Assault School cadre, said it was a privilege to show Fort Hood’s new school to those who came before. “They paved the way for me,” he said. “It’s a joy to bring them back into the fold.”

    Yep and I can think that we would not have the homecoming’s that we have today if they did not take up the fight for us.

    Speaking of which, Fort Hood and Fort Wainwright are welcoming back thier Solider’s from Afghastan as we speak.

  • Ron Paul Video Game?

    No you heard right, there is going to be a Ron Paul video game to help his failing race for the White House. You know, the race in which he has yet managed to claim a single state in the primaries?

    Yep this is not satire or from the Onion, this is a real project.

    Ron Paul may not be the most avid gamer — but the leading libertarian certainly wouldn’t want to stop you playing his character in an upcoming videogame from Texas-based programmer Daniel Williams.

    “Ron Paul: The Road to REVOLution” is a side-scrolling adventure game that echoes console classics of days gone by. Players take control of Dr. Paul as he sprints across the U.S., collecting coins (made of gold, of course) and delegates in a race for the White House.

    The browser-based game has one level for each of the 50 states, and 13 boss fights — one for each branch of the Federal Reserve. Once released, it’ll be free to play.

    So do not be suprised to see this spammed into your inbox or facbook page in the near future.
