Tuesday, 30 September 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The New York Times in the first of a series of articles on the shameful state of the United States healthcare system to which interested readers may follow the below link reports that fully insured patients who are careful to use "in-network" hospitals still are increasingly completely ambushed by later surprise huge bills particularly for "contract" Emergency Room (ER) physicians by whom they have no choice but to be seen having been made to sign mountains of forms when usually waiting in distress in the ER which they are in no condition to read nor understand but are given to believe they must sign or die which means they essentially are signing under duress incomprehensible to them pre-prepared documents with no opportunity and in no condition to understand nor give meaningful agreement.
This effectively means these piles of documents are worse even than for example the printed insurance company "adhesion contracts" which courts invalidated as unenforceable non-contracts almost a century ago as not fulfilling fundamental requirements of contract law such as a meeting of the minds and moreover being completely invalidated by the fact that attempts to bind people to such documents merely by having them sign them in such circumstances is per se unconscionable. As by the way are the fees often charged by the ER "contract" doctors as documented in the Times article which gives examples of even physicians bringing family members in for care and objecting to "contract" ER doctor bills as absolutely outrageous. Also when being gouged for such simple things as putting in eight stitches later followed by a surprise out-of-network surgeon's bill for $4,878.
Apparently many ER doctors often just gouge completely uninformed patients for relatively simple procedures because being an "ER doctor" was not even a specialty until the 1980's meaning that if any complicated medical work has to be done it still needs to be done by an actual medical specialist and not just someone who is merely a specialist at overbilling unknowing patients in distress and protecting their precious medical licenses by undermedicating patients in serious pain and distress because they are too scared of the DEA, the FDA and/or the state medical board so whenever possible they leave that risky problem to the actual treating physician they tell patients they must see as soon as possible anyway.
The Ninth Amendment wishes this could be said to be the exception and not the rule but the hard numbers prove otherwise. There have to be a great many ER doctors seriously overcharging to have in a period of just the past four years driven the average ER doctor's annual income up from $247,000 to $311,000 during an era of near zero and even negative inflation and when the average American's real income has not even yet risen back to previous levels. The Times horror stories include an ER physician charging $2,000 for having a patient hooked up to a heart monitor for a few hours before being released. In the stitching case mentioned above an out-of-network surgeon (not ER doctor) saved the day in the ER by putting eight stitches in a girl's chin and later charging $4,878 creatively coding his valiant work as "open wound, jaw, complicated". The Times did not detail if "complicated" referred to the procedure of putting in eight stitches or for thinking up a word that could possibly justify charging that amount for putting in just eight stitches and not getting sued (good thing it was not Medicare).
Likewise ER physicians' overcharging now has driven up their average annual incomes to more than that of all the previously most notoriously expensive out-of-network specialists being anesthesiologists, radiologists and pathologists (who best we recall often used to be want-to-be surgeons with challenges like alcohol problems who were directed away to a specialty where the patients were already dead) for basically looking at bloodwork, ordering x-rays, oh yes having nurses glance at heart monitors, and interrogating any patient who believes they need medicine that the physician possibly believes might be abused with any subsequent doctor then de rigeur giving an inconsistent explanation of why it cannot be prescribed.
It has been the experience of the Ninth Amendment that most but not all such physicians lie to patients on such matters more creatively than many law enforcement officers sworn on a witness stand and that is pretty bad. Even the ER physicians' spokesman Dr. Jeffrey Bettinger, chairman of the reimbursement committee of the American College of Emergency Physicians, apparently could not help himself from lying to the New York Times when he "said that out-of-network emergency room doctors were an unusual phenomenon and expressed doubt that the practice was widespread". Actually the Times reported that the occurrence of out-or-network emergency room doctors indeed was "widespread" having now risen to an overwhelming 65% in the Nation's emergency rooms.
In fact the Ninth Amendment actually has been informed by emergency physicians for example in a Florida hospital that it is the policy of the State of Florida that because of the high level of abuse of pain medication that patients no longer can be treated at the hospital for previously existing pain conditions. We suggest the license plate slogan be changed from "Florida The Sunshine State" to "Florida It Is Going To Hurt A Little" superimposed over a five thousand dollar invoice rather than an orange. When the Ninth Amendment asked nurses if they had had many cases of deaths by prescription pain medicine overdoses coming in to the hospital they were able to remember none other than ones in which hospital anesthesiologists had accidentally given patients additional doses of pain medicine on the operating table after they forgot they already had given patients pain medicine which then overdosed them. Anyway pain apparently is now one less worry for ER "specialists" at least in Florida since they can let the State and the DEA practice medicine without a license and just follow orders and not treat it.
THE NINTH AMENDMENT IS IN NO WAY QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL NOR LEGAL ADVICE. READERS SEEKING LEGAL OR MEDICAL ADVICE OR CARE MUST CONSULT A PROPERLY QUALIFIED LICENSED LEGAL OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
The Ninth Amendment sympathizes that the situation exposed by the New York Times in the article with link below describes an impossibly frustrating situation for even readers who take every possible reasonable step to see that they are not shocked by what would seem to be a blatantly unfair circumstance that may arise especially in the case of a medical emergency for which they rightfully believe they have taken all apparent possible prudent precautions to avoid surprise unscrupulous catastrophic costs and expenses for which they have purchased and/or arranged insurance or other health cost coverage to the best of their ability.
It is apparent that the Times describes a healthcare system that is broken and completely unworthy of a country blessed with the great God-given resources of our Nation. How can President Obama repeatedly say in good conscience that the United States has "the best military the world has ever known" fully aware that he can say no such thing about the United States healthcare system? Although the Ninth Amendment can offer no suggestion at this time of a considered workable long-term solution it is our lay opinion in the meantime that given our understanding that all hospitals are obligated to provide emergency medical care to all patients who enter in need of it until such time as they have been stabilized properly with appropriate arrangements made for their continued care that the signing of prepared documentation in conditions such as those as set forth above is arguably unconscionable and cannot be a requirement of necessary medical treatment.
Rather than argue the point based on past experience we would be inclined to refrain from signing documents which we are in no condition to understand nor able to meaningfully signify agreement but rather simply scribble "I willl not pay" and hand them back as if they had been signed. But then that may just be us.

The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution is the strongest statement therein that powers not expressly granted the State are retained as rights of the People. The State has misconstrued, misrepresented, ignored, and denied the People's rights by elimination of protections reserved alone to them, not recognized by the Supreme Court, the Legislative, and worst the Executive Branch in the illegitimate exercise of draconian powers which unlawfully disparage the inalienable rights of the People.

AR-15 Armed Masked Camouflaged Men In Body Armor Dropping From Unmarked Helicopters Chop Down Legal Marijuana Grows On Private Property Invading Mendocino County Northern California
Tuesday, 30 September 2014, MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA - The Ninth Amendment editorial board encourages interested and/or concerned readers themselves and with credentialed media as quickly as possible to research remotely or where possible and safe also personally witness and document as well as disseminate to as many others as possible including documented first person reporting to appropriate law enforcement authorities (always with as many witnesses as possible) information now flowing into the Ninth Amendment in very recent and current most troubling reports also now appearing on CBS news, in the SFGate, and many other news sources some of which are named in the below linked-to Infinite Unknown blog postings itself providing other useful links of an apparent ongoing illegal invasion of Mendocino County, Northern California by AR-15 armed camouflaged men in body armor wearing masks rappelling from unmarked helicopters onto private property and destroying with machetes, chainsaws and like weapons legal marijuana plants before returning to the helicopters and disappearing.
There is no indication that these illegal invaders represent law enforcement of any sort as they are reportedly without any such markings dropping onto private real property and destroying legally grown private property in circumstances which show no regard for public safety but rather themselves obviously pose a serious risk of injury or death to themselves or others in any number of ways. The local sheriff says that he does not "contract out" such work even for illegal marijuana grows. Likewise any claim that they are doing "environmental work" seems an obviously transparent lie given that they are operating under such circumstances in which they are acting in an intentionally intimidating and threatening military-style manner with military-style equipment including camouflage gear, body armor, AR-15 rifles and dropping by stealth from unmarked helicopters under cover rather than like wilderness landscapers as one might expect from persons doing environmental restoration work.
Coincidentally the heavily armed camouflaged men who have refused to identify themselves when they have been confronted demonstrate a remarkable resemblance to the modus operandi of a locally operating "security" company most oddly named "Lear Asset Management" whose "chief" Paul Trouette has denied any involvement with the illegal activities although he refused to be interviewed by KPIX 5 CBS San Francisco television affiliate. Also coincidentally Lear Asset Management "security" company according to local residents operates out of helicopters with camouflaged men in body armor armed with AR-15 rifles and appears to be staffed by persons who as one resident commented could be working for "Blackwater". For residents and readers who do not think this is a sophisticated operation the Ninth Amendment suggests they take a look at the link below to the Time magazine cover piece perfectly timed to come to the defense of Lear "Asset Management" in the issue timed to just yesterday's date. Perfect. One cannot buy that kind of cover piece. Or maybe one can.
Oddly or not the exact same thought crossed our minds at the Ninth Amendment with the rapidly growing trend of medical and even recreational marijuana legalization who indeed would be more appropriate to appear on the scene where there was the smell of cold, hard cash to be made but the latest incarnation of Blackwater forever changing its name trying to avoid pesky prosecutions for things such as arms violations, criminal violence, shoddy or never even performed paid work, and so on, as well as changing countries and identities to evade even more pesky matters such as capital crime and murder prosecutions. What a perfect time for Dick "Pigheart" Cheney's collection of thugs, felons, escaped or "early released" convicts, mercenaries and criminally insane psychopaths to appear on the scene to intimidate and destroy or kill the competition. Whether or not this is a Cheney operation it seems apparent that this invasion is the vanguard of Corporate America moving in on a newly legalized marijuana market that is and will be far too lucrative to allow it being left to ordinary hardworking small business operating Americans. As far as Corporate America is concerned there is no doubt but one group that the hard work will be done to profit enormously and that sure as hell is going to Corporate America and no Mom & Pop.
We can almost imagine Dick "Pigheart" Cheney who recently emerged from the walking dead into the halls of the Capitol in Washington, DC to give Republican congresspersons his unsolicited, ignored advice to start as many wars as soon as possible in oil-producing countries perhaps just as an alibi having now realized that marijuana can be the new "oil" that he lives for as he snorts away imagining the helicopters dropping his murderous crews and pulling up the pallettes of piles of crisp, new hundred dollar bills which have always been his preferred form of payment. Whoever is dropping down on Mendocino County we have a feeling most likely is intimately familiar with that infamous California prison just a ways down Highway 101 turn left and take the last exit before the bridge to Richmond.
Whether or not this is the case one can be confident that Corporate America almost certainly are the ones really behind this. And if this were anyplace but the domestic United States we have little doubt those AR-15s would already be firing except that they would be M-16s as they have been in so many other countries where Corporate America most definitely would already have the blood flowing out in the jungle and the money flowing back to those tax-evading Corporate American numbered accounts in the Cayman Islands. If the good people of Mendocino County and others in places such as Colorado and around the United States legally getting into the marijuana business think this scenario unlikely the Ninth Amendment respectfully suggests that they just try imagining otherwise and quickly as well before the war is lost before they even realize it has begun. Keep these criminals in your sights and in the public eye and witness, document and report their every misdeed.
Because this whole situation just stinks of the way Corporate America rolls.

"Miami Jury: CIA Involved In JFK Assassination" Per 2014 Globalresearch.org Article Noting Lack Of National Reporting On Jurors' Conclusions In E. Howard Hunt Defamation Case
Monday, 29 September 2014, MIAMI, FL - Monday and every other day too is conspiracy day at the Ninth Amendment which may come as a surprise to some readers as the Ninth Amendment itself has engaged in an elaborate conspiracy to keep our readers from knowing this by resisting the temptation to "spill the beans" as it were to avoid presumably annoying a great many readers by actually writing of conspiracy theories and therefore losing about 98% of them who turn and run immediately. Well in truth its that other 2% that the Ninth Amendment really is after. There is so much competition for them among a select group of self-publishing writers and specialty advertisers.
Some readers may just wish to skip this post perhaps having endured "conspiracy theorists" entirely beyond their bursting points already especially in the wake of 9/11 even though . . . . In any case should any readers still with us ever have the chance on that subject they may wish to see the extremely controversial movie "Loose Change" which has been viewed by over one billion people and should they further ever have the more remote opportunity definitely to see the allegedly CIA-produced film of unknown title disk one of which is entitled "Part 1: Demolition". We never learned the title nor saw the subsequent parts for the reasons explained below.
The gentleman who delivered "Part 1: Demolition" to the Ninth Amendment for viewing only also claimed to be the former CIA operative who shot for being obstructionist of CIA intentions in South Vietnam at the outset of what was to become the Vietnamese "Conflict" (per DOD) the short South Vietnamese President Diem in the head in his palace among his very large potted plants where Diem formerly frequently could be seen ashing the cigarettes which he chain-smoked incessantly. When our people asked "The Demolition Man" if it really were necessary to communicate this biographical information he merely said he did not care what happened to him in his "retirement" since he had been unable to find a suitable woman with whom to settle down moreover in any case if so inclined he still could shoot off a man's earlobe at 1,000 yards.
He was supposed to meet our people later that week with the remaining disk(s) of the "CIA" film but never was to be seen again. Hoax or not we have no idea. Incidentally the Ninth Amendment did have a close associate who had happened to stay with President Diem at his palace not long before the CIA assassination and had previously said he had been a very nervous man always "flitting about" apparently with good reason.
In any case that is just about all for the moment as far as our relative proximity to events of the type consuming the minds of "conspiracy theorists". We did coincidentally also have someone at the White House photographed just in the days before the JFK assassination standing right beside JFK in the White House at a formal judiciary reception. And another in the days after JFK's assassination sitting in the President's seat aboard Air Force One right beside the newly sworn in Lyndon B. Johnson. As for the JFK assassination which the Warren Commission swiftly concluded was the work of the "lone gunman" Lee Harvey Oswald and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1978 later concluded was a probable conspiracy by a group of "unknown assassins" it is the subject of the globalresearch.org 2014 article linked to below.
The article claims a remarkable lack of national newspaper and broadcast reporting on a Miami, FL jury's 1978 conclusion in a defamation lawsuit brought by E. Howard Hunt against the defunct reputedly anti-Semitic far right-wing newspaper The SPOTLIGHT regarding CIA involvement in the JFK Assassination including testimony that CIA operatives including Frank Sturgis traveled by two-car caravan with CIA ex-operative Marita Lorenz with telescopic rifles from Miami to Dallas where along with their "paymaster" E. Howard Hunt they met with Jack Ruby who would two days later murder Lee Harvey Oswald. CIA ex-operative Ms. Lorenz who drove with the men to Dallas testified that she was too frightened by what appeared to be an imminent but unknown to her act of monstrous proportions about to occur in Dallas so she left as quickly as possible before soon learning JFK the next day had been assassinated. Ms. Lorenz testified that at some later time Frank Sturgis expressly told her that CIA mission to Dallas had been JFK's assassination.
She testified that she subsequently learned that Hunt later was to be "thrown to the wolves" under order of CIA counterintelligence chief James "Wilderness" Angleton in complicity with CIA Director Richard Helms to be painted as a CIA operative gone "rogue" after a CIA memo surfaced placing Hunt in Dallas the day of JFK's assassination until Angleton's plot was aborted when made public and peace was made (or most likely bought) with Hunt. E. Howard Hunt who by that point also had been paid off on President Nixon's direct orders "because he took the risk" (in Nixon's own self-recorded Oval Office words in CNN's current "Nixon On Nixon") for taking the fall for Nixon after he and Sturgis almost a decade after JFK's murder were arrested in the Watergate Building where they were caught in the act of planting bugs and trashing the place to cover the bugging up in the Democratic National Campaign Headquarters offices which they had broken into at the Watergate Building.
Remaining interested readers seeking more details are referred to the below link to the globalresearch.org 2014 article concerning details of the JFK assassination and related E. Howard Hunt defamation case against the SPOTLIGHT newspaper.

FBI Cries Foul To Latest Generation Apple iPhones Password Protection Even Apple Cannot Bypass To Access Data At Feds' Demand And Google Follows Suit Makes Claim For New Android Phones In Wake Of Yahoo Privacy Lawsuit Against Government
Sunday, 28 September 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - In the wake of staggering revelations made public in documents still being released from Edward Snowden methodically upon determination that they will not put Government operatives or agents at direct risk steadily chronicling United States Government blatantly unconscionable unconstitutional criminal misconduct among other things in wholesale mass eavesdropping on and permanently recording its own American citizens across the board with no cause at all snooping into every aspect of the lives of all American people respecting no privacy whatsoever even in every sacred moment of their lives including their communicating about perfectly legal business, family and pleasure matters to everything in between without limitation including for example all from the most deeply personal to commercial secrets to private religious, medical, and political conversations as well as with their lawyers and accountants, political to intimate conversations between couples married and not and the millions of other types of perfectly legal totally private and personal conversations in which everyone in the United States should be able to engage with the expectation of the right to privacy being absolutely recognized and respected by the State whose morally bankrupt criminal snoops otherwise belong in prison.
That expectation is inherent given the understanding of for what Americans have fought and died to live in a country with a government constrained and respectful of laws rather than one that routinely criminally misbehaves as a matter of course lording over its citizens as if they were the oppressed slaves of a totalitarian state now to the point that finally even America's tech giants are fighting back perhaps soon in court and right now in their research and development efforts after routinely being forced under illegal orders to execute the Government's criminal dirty work against Apple and Google's own clients and customers and then left largely to play the fall guys for these heinous illegal Government-ordered invasions of privacy on a scale so universal as to have come to seem unreal as directed by Government representatives now too young to have fought in anything but phony wars as exemplified by the phony Nixon totally hypocritical insincere losing "war on drugs" dragging on now for 40+ years with no overall progress at all to show for it but rather the establishment of highly violent international crime organizations that are at the point of rivaling the firepower of entire corrupted nations leaving behind a trail countless dead including tens of thousands of innocents and nothing to show but failure failure and misery.
Though Facelog's Zuckerboy with his ever-evolving schemes to extract from Facebook users as much private information by any means possible with no notice whatsoever until forced to provide it has long been suspected by many of being a CIA operative with a devious brilliance this sick penchant for extracting more information through ever-expanding trickery in his Mugbook service that will "always be free" including using devices such as facial recognition technology and "tagging" and on and on as he relentlessly persists in trying to dupe Americans and persons worldwide into creating their own most intimate files to serve as ready fodder "selfie"-made dossiers for government perusal at its leisure essentially a J. Edgar Hoover sicko romp into Zuckerboy's twisted idea of privacy invasion mugshot heaven with all biographical information including birth, location, family, friends, activities, politics, thoughts, etc. to boot. The European community having a little more context long has not been amused with his twisted antics with its European Union regulators fining his spydom goldmine hundreds of millions of dollars on more than one occasion yet barely even followed in the news it means so little to the bottom line especially as it is probably paid by American taxpayers via the CIA anyway.
Back in the United States while Zuckerboy no doubt gladly hands it all over to his handlers the other tech giants have become increasingly uneasy with first Yahoo which unsuccessfully sued the U.S. Government for ordering it to turn over clients' private information but did prevail in being able to make the damning case files public. Unlike Zuckerboy proud to violate the Constitution at every opportunity at the Government's behest provided Zuckerboy even knows or cares what the Constitution is (or rather was), Apple too like Yahoo apparently has had it with playing criminal in the eyes of the American and foreign peoples under orders from the metastasized National Security agencies thus commercially threatening the company at home and especially abroad and yesterday announced the release of the latest generation iPhone which even Apple cannot penetrate once it is in the customer's hands. No backdoor for the suits to sneak into Americans treasure trove of private information which the U.S. Government has come to see as its birthright.
Now Google long suspected itself of managing Americans private information in collusion with the CIA allegedly with some data centers built side-by-side has turned and also taken aim first organizing resistance to NSA blanket interception and storage of communications and now like Apple in the technology research and development arena announced it also no longer had provided a "backdoor" for the government "suits" to slip inside to snoop around Google's clients' most private information either. So Google although long suspected itself of complicity in the Government's mass surveillance run totally amok of the Constitution (although a big deal was made most likely as a cover story about the resourceful Feds having to crack the code and secretly intercept an uncooperative Google's internal date packet transmissions "on the fly" under yet another novel lame legal theory of legitimacy concocted by U.S. Government "lawyers" no doubt on the condition that whatever latest tortured analysis they had concocted justifying the Government's crimes in advance be locked deep in a vault and never looked at again until fifty years after all involved were dead now also apparently really is fed up as Google now spearheads NSA reform drives and apparently shares Apple's domestic and especially foreign commercial concerns about further even involuntary participation with the government spying on its customers and/or clients and thus made Google's own announcement on the heels of Apple's that its latest generation Android phones likewise could not be penetrated for data even by Google.
The Feds with their newfound 21st Centuty attitude of total entitlement and apparent perceived immunity from incarceration (for themselves) are apoplectic having sucked at the tit of unconstitutionality for so long and with such impunity that the existing phone warrant requirement (still the law of the land for wired phones last the Ninth Amendment heard) seems to them a quaint relic of the dinosaur age (the 1950's) since the advent of the portable and then cellphone of course meant to them that although the legal reasoning should have been exactly the same and likewise protected such communications the Feds had soon made it clear that if it went through the air rather than a line a telephone conversation involved no expectation of privacy at all. A perfectly tautological argument making no sense whatsoever.
And that reasoning certainly did become a self-fulfilling prophecy because law enforcement with impunity since routinely has listened in on any such telephone so there sure was no expectation of privacy since law enforcement made sure privacy in such conversations was non-existent. As the Virginia farmboys' parents and ancestors who had themselves once made honest livings and fought to the death for such liberties would say it was a case in which "the horse followed the cart". And the American people allowed this further assault to be perpetrated against their rapidly disappearing core fundamental rights under the Constitution with barely a whimper all for the sake of the instant convenience of pulling a phone from one's pocket and also because they most likely knew no better even if the government would be the third party on the line.
Readers interested in more detail concerning this latest seemingly ever more rare "last stand" to uphold a constitutional right to privacy here by sure force of technology may refer to the CNN print story below now with a little more context perhaps as to why the FBI grown fat and lazy (at least metaphorically if not in the movies) certainly cannot abide being deprived of the convenience of merely being able to order some tech giant to suck the information out of readers' phones although the FBI apparently still grudgingly recognizes the requirement of some sham of a warrant for data surprisingly acknowledging that any part of the Constitution that protects the American people's rights still even may exist (or so it claims, but the FBI could be lying too).
However the mere thought of Apple or Google marketing its most recent phones in the face of the FBI's brilliant (for the FBI) argument that like a closet that can NEVER be opened, now by that thought the FBI cannot just abide. The Constitution is said go be a "living document" and sometimes living things just need to die for a while before they can come back. . . . as for example . . . a totalitarian state. The infrastructure of a rigorous democracy ostensibly is still here seemingly visible for all to see although its actual out of sight functionality merely has merely changed a bit. Indeed just as Aldous Huxley predicted.

That expectation is inherent given the understanding of for what Americans have fought and died to live in a country with a government constrained and respectful of laws rather than one that routinely criminally misbehaves as a matter of course lording over its citizens as if they were the oppressed slaves of a totalitarian state now to the point that finally even America's tech giants are fighting back perhaps soon in court and right now in their research and development efforts after routinely being forced under illegal orders to execute the Government's criminal dirty work against Apple and Google's own clients and customers and then left largely to play the fall guys for these heinous illegal Government-ordered invasions of privacy on a scale so universal as to have come to seem unreal as directed by Government representatives now too young to have fought in anything but phony wars as exemplified by the phony Nixon totally hypocritical insincere losing "war on drugs" dragging on now for 40+ years with no overall progress at all to show for it but rather the establishment of highly violent international crime organizations that are at the point of rivaling the firepower of entire corrupted nations leaving behind a trail countless dead including tens of thousands of innocents and nothing to show but failure failure and misery.
Though Facelog's Zuckerboy with his ever-evolving schemes to extract from Facebook users as much private information by any means possible with no notice whatsoever until forced to provide it has long been suspected by many of being a CIA operative with a devious brilliance this sick penchant for extracting more information through ever-expanding trickery in his Mugbook service that will "always be free" including using devices such as facial recognition technology and "tagging" and on and on as he relentlessly persists in trying to dupe Americans and persons worldwide into creating their own most intimate files to serve as ready fodder "selfie"-made dossiers for government perusal at its leisure essentially a J. Edgar Hoover sicko romp into Zuckerboy's twisted idea of privacy invasion mugshot heaven with all biographical information including birth, location, family, friends, activities, politics, thoughts, etc. to boot. The European community having a little more context long has not been amused with his twisted antics with its European Union regulators fining his spydom goldmine hundreds of millions of dollars on more than one occasion yet barely even followed in the news it means so little to the bottom line especially as it is probably paid by American taxpayers via the CIA anyway.
Back in the United States while Zuckerboy no doubt gladly hands it all over to his handlers the other tech giants have become increasingly uneasy with first Yahoo which unsuccessfully sued the U.S. Government for ordering it to turn over clients' private information but did prevail in being able to make the damning case files public. Unlike Zuckerboy proud to violate the Constitution at every opportunity at the Government's behest provided Zuckerboy even knows or cares what the Constitution is (or rather was), Apple too like Yahoo apparently has had it with playing criminal in the eyes of the American and foreign peoples under orders from the metastasized National Security agencies thus commercially threatening the company at home and especially abroad and yesterday announced the release of the latest generation iPhone which even Apple cannot penetrate once it is in the customer's hands.

Criminal New Zealand Ruling National Party President Goodfella Along With Widespread Corrupt Women-Abusing Rotten Ruling Class In Complicity With Endemic Judicial Corruption Exposed
Friday, 26 September 2014, AUCKLAND, NZ - In this country which has manipulated its global "squeaky clean" image as being virtually on a par with that of Canada the truth could be anything but in this stinking cesspool of the corrupt rich dirtbag ruling politicians, rogue law "enforcement" and a thoroughly compromised judiciary which as earlier reported here most recently severed any ties to possible integrity by ditching Great Britain's Privy Council as its ultimate arbiter of justice.
This huge dirty New Zealand domestic burden of generational human classless filth persists in the unbridled oppression of good solid hard-working real Kiwis including all women and especially those who have fallen out of favor with their thoroughly corrupt filthy richboy tax-evading criminally-inclined husbands and secretly hustled off by the courts under cover of "suppression orders" at every level from driving Porsches living in mansions and country homes to pushing shopping carts and scrounging for pennies in squalid public housing there appears finally a light at the end of the tunnel in fact an oncoming highspeed trainwreck right into the fat face of this corrupt mob hellbent on fulfilling its delusional sense of entitlement by turning New Zealand finally into a full-blown mafia state most recently in concert with criminal fugitives from Australia and corrupt fleeing mainland Chinese buying asylum and apparently all eager to exploit the growing international haven for criminal enterprise under cover of green fields and innocent wandering sheep under a government that actually extends its delusional sense of entitlement to destroying the world's waters and Earth's environment at will for its own petty ends.
For interested readers who may have considered investing their assets with this institutionally protected corrupt ruling generational richboy so-called "class" with its rogue police lapdog enforcers and bought judiciary which now brings with it also the welcoming of hardened international criminal bedfellows with whom it may be harder than they may imagine for one ever again to "part ways" with all body parts attached as well as potential tourists for whom it may well be time perhaps to consider another destination until Interpol, the NSA, and CIA (due to strategic concerns especially in light of New Zealand's geographical location on the globe especially for unique communication and security considerations) have scraped away the scum from the top in their own special ways it may be worthwhile to follow the computer link directly below to New Zealand's seemingly clean "legal newspaper" from earlier this year which may prove at least partially enlightening but with untold horror stories assuredly yet to unfold. In the jargon of the CIA it is looking as if it may time to "shut this operation down" and "burn it to the ground".
Those thirsting for more detailed information may find more recent accounts of corrupt New Zealand government figures starting to be forced from power possibly to be followed by their loss of freedom reports of new widespread mass NSA surveillance of its global New Zealand "partner" as well as accounts of ruling National Party leader but non-official government figure Goodfella's seemingly inexplicable (at least to him) overseas visits with such unsavory characters as China's notorious Communist CCDI anti-corruption torture unit unanswerable even to the Chinese government and police to help "promote democracy" and pledge "concrete" cooperation supposedly in furtherance of that purpose.
Or was it to "promote corruption" and pledge loyalty to any new criminal enterprise? Persons actively seeking out such partners generally may be assumed to be inclined toward gambling in a big way. Despite protestations otherwise one may assume Goodfella's main goodwill trips to "promote democracy" will be the longtime favorite richboy family destinations in the Cayman Islands where American corporations also are known to visit for the same laudable purpose of promoting democracy by evading or "aggressively avoiding" taxes which certainly sounds perfectly legal when one owns one's government including its taxing authorities one way or another. But it sure may be a good place to look for penalties and interest owed to foreign governments and international regulatory bodies.
In any case as the NSA satellites circle and the techies watch and listen from their Virginia sheds while Virginia's farmboys roam the byways of the region rather than that United States citizenship Goodfella may be banking on he may instead find him himself right there on the "Big List" at immigration one sunny day along with solders coming home from the war. Only thing of course being perhaps the wrong soldiers "coming home" from the wrong war. In any case the link referenced above follows immediately below.

BMJ Study "Links" Benzodiazepine Anxiety And Related "Z-Class" Sleeping Medication Use To Increased Risk For Alzheimer's Disease
Friday, 26 September 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment editorial board sincerely urges that readers not become unnerved nor anxious by the above heading to this post. Although the heading is accurate to its New York Times source which concerned readers may go to directly at any time via the link provided below the Ninth Amendment finds a few introductory words in order as literally millions of Americans suffer from anxiety and/or insomnia a great many of whom at some time(s) or even for quite extended periods of up to many years have taken or take one or more of the above two groups of drugs which together are known to the medical community as "sedative-hypnotics". The "benzo" primarily anxiety drugs include ones such as Xanax, Ativan, Valium and Klonopin which are of similar composition but differing periods of action. The "z-class" sleep medications include Ambien and Lunesta.
The last thing the Ninth Amendment wants to do is make any readers anxious or lose sleep so please relax and allow us first to convey a few points. The above headline refers to a summary article in the New York Times describing a study by Canadian and French medical researchers recently published in the well-regarded British Medical Journal (BMJ). Because of the high degree of reader interest in this area the Times article so far has generated well over three hundred comments and counting in the digital edition.
Although it is important for our interested readers to be aware of the content of this article (which itself links directly to the full study for those interested) because it could prove lucrative fodder for media hype the truth of the matter is that a great many of the commenters including physicians weighing in on the Times article make seemingly valid points calling into question several aspects of the study done on the basis of medical records rather than dedicated study participants which make any suggestion of a conclusion based on everything from the lack of value of information presented which did not contain dosage information to a lack of evidence of other factors which may have affected the "control group".
One commenting M.D.,Ph.D. whose comment was the second published in the digital Times following the article went so far as to observe that "there is a fairly large scientific literature showing benzodiazepines reduce the deposition of amyloid as well protect from the toxicity of the abnormal protein. Thus there is substantial basis to believe that this class of medications might actually be protective from Alzheimer's. . . ." This statement is consistent with the observation by the physician chief editor in the Harvard Medical Newsletter a few years past that despite the recent large-scale demonization (largely among physicians who never had experienced ongoing severe anxiety or used them) of benzodiazepines especially in any longer-term use that his lifetime of medical practice experience showed that long-term and even lifetime use of this class of medications was indicated in some patients for whom they had meant a huge improvement in quality of life for persons who might otherwise forever be virtually immobilized or unable to interact with others and society overall without constant overwhelming anxiety.
This extended to the seemingly incomprehensible math used to reach any conclusion other than one that was unproven and premature at best. None of the physicians commenting found the study to be persuasive of the assertion of any causal "link" as implied in the Times headline reflected above. At best they concluded the demonstrated relationship might be stretched to the limit as an "association". Many also took the Times to task for publishing an article of such personal medical interest to so many readers on this topic which was written by one with no recognized nor noted medical credentials at all must less a physician specializing in this field.
Many of these points are touched on in the Ninth Amendment's comment to the Times article published earlier today in the Times digital edition. It is followed immediately by a link to the article itself which includes the 300+ comments published as of this posting as well as incorporating a direct link to the full study as published in the BMJ.

CREDO Action Plea To American People Resist Manipulation Into Another Unwinnable Mideast Conflict In "President Obama Just Bombed Syria" Calls For Signing Of Petition To Congress To Vote
Thursday, 25 September 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - CREDO Action yesterday made this plea that the American people call the White House their Senators and Representatives and demand an immediate Congressional vote on the war President Obama has launched expanding from Iraq now into Syria arguing for a vote of "no war" and calling on the American People to sign the below petition.
The reason CREDO Action submits justifying this plea is detailed below on the basic premise that that United States continued and escalating participation in hostilities in the region of diverse warring factions will not end them based on long historical experience in the region and almost certainly exacerbate them using the analogy of the CIA's disastrous failed attempts in Afghanistan which only eventually led to the CIA's creation of the fully armed Taliban.
Interested readers desiring more information may find the below an informative alternative or enhancement to incessantly repittitious largely uninformative CNN-style repeated coverage of pathologically sick ISIS beheadings and of supposed "pinpoint" bombings which we later knew how really went in the U.S. pre-emptive strike on Iraq by never-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush as well as endless CNN-style interviews with the same limited group of military and other pundits over and over again. May the United States have the forbearance to refrain from intervening in the things it cannot change the courage to change the things it can and the wisdom to know the difference. Our generation has seen the blood spilled the wounded return and the dead not. We know the cost. God Bless America.

Thursday, 25 September 2014, AUSTIN, TX - Republican Special Prosecutor Michael McCrum who has brought back two felony grand jury indictments for abuse of power carrying a maximum 99-year prison sentence against corrupt Indicted Lameduck Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry earlier this week on Tuesday expressed disgust at the GOP-organized "Booking Rally" to celebrate his criminal booking in which McCrum referred to the rumored GOP 2016 Presidential "hopeful" as "smirking" commenting "[i]n my 30 years of experience I have never seen a defendant make such a mockery of our system of justice." McCrum has recommended to the Court that he be permitted to drop his $300 per hour stipend to $250 to help the State pay another attorney in the indicted Perry's prosecution.
Indicted Perry at least as an indication if not proof of his criminal tendencies vowed vengeance on those responsible for his prosecution saying they would be "held accountable". Despite the Indicted Perry's apparent nonchalant contempt for the Texas criminal justice system for which he himself is largely responsible considering his mind-numbingly long interminable Governorship of Idiocy and outrage that it might conceivably pursue charges wrongfully (at least in his own case) the Indicted Perry nevertheless seemingly is not taking any chances now that he has been indicted trying to jam a few more rounds in his old laser-sighted coyote-killing six-shooter as his own growing team of defense attorneys swells funded at $450 an hour by the taxpayers of Texas with new additions funded from Indicted Perry's campaign funds who then asked for special dispensation for the Indicted Texas Idiot Lameduck Governor Rick "Payback" Perry reportedly because he was "Governor". (It is not known to the Ninth Amendment if Indicted Perry's right to carry a firearm has been curtailed by Texas due to his criminal indictment)
"Team Perry" then took aim at the Special Prosecutor McCrum reportedly claiming that criminal defendants routinely are permitted to skip pre-trial criminal hearings which they have requested Indicted Perry next be able to do on 13 October 2014 as he and his traveling "security" circus continue their nonstop round-the-world travels at Texas taxpayers' expense to drum up other business for Texas apparently having exhausted the tourism possibilities of the Japanese. They seemingly no longer eagerly are flocking to the State to see the Perry-incited hysteria over naked, starving brown-skinned Central American children and genocidal ISIS murderers streaming over the border. Meanwhile Indicted Perry's worldwide Texas phantom tourist recruits may be aware or not that those in south Texas and indeed all Texas roads die at by far the highest rate in the country on Texas' already most dangerous highways now become nightmare deathtraps as vanloads of 24-hour double-shift "frack" workers plow asleep into the backs of vehicles such as schoolbuses with 3+ multi-fatality "accidents" having become routine.
(Although the subject is not covered in this post as to the details on "fracking" and the resulting tragically skyrocketing catastrophic Texas road fatalities interested readers can find more details and graphics in that same publication linked to below on the front page of the issue of the same date. Likewise today's Thursday, 25 September 2014 issue of that publication details the alarming rate of "fracking" workplace injuries and deaths.)
The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment invites interested readers to link to the San Antonio Express-News article below for more details on Indicted Lameduck Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry's "[m]ockery" of his own Texas criminal justice system and his vows of revenge.

They seemingly no longer eagerly are flocking to the State to see the Perry-incited hysteria over naked, starving brown-skinned Central American children and genocidal ISIS murderers streaming over the border. Meanwhile Indicted Perry's worldwide Texas phantom tourist recruits may be aware or not that those in south Texas and indeed all Texas roads die at by far the highest rate in the country on Texas' already most dangerous highways now become nightmare deathtraps as vanloads of 24-hour double-shift "frack" workers plow asleep into the backs of vehicles such as schoolbuses with 3+ multi-fatality "accidents" having become routine.
(Although the subject is not covered in this post as to the details on "fracking" and the resulting tragically skyrocketing catastrophic Texas road fatalities interested readers can find more details and graphics in that same publication linked to below on the front page of the issue of the same date. Likewise today's Thursday, 25 September 2014 issue of that publication details the alarming rate of "fracking" workplace injuries and deaths.)
The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment invites interested readers to link to the San Antonio Express-News article below for more details on Indicted Lameduck Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry's "[m]ockery" of his own Texas criminal justice system and his vows of revenge.

Tuesday, 16 September 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The New York Times today reveals that a report compiled last year by The Chronicle of Higher Education found that the deranged DOD 1033 program supplies not only public untrained law enforcement agencies around the United States such as that of Ferguson, Missouri with weapons of war including and up to tanks that they are totally unfit to use and in any case are totally inappropriate for use against civilian populations but that under the same deranged DOD 1033 program as of last year at least 120 untrained college campus police departments since 1998 had also cashed in on the deranged DOD 1033 program "bonanza giveaway" for weapons of war for use against college campus students. Interested readers especially those with college student children and college students themselves may find more details in the New York Times article with link below.
