Thursday, 30 October 2014, WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the horrifying early moments unfolded in the escalating frightened growing confusion of 11 September 2001 informed by no quality "intelligence work" but rather largely contradictory anecdotal information from sources such as flight attendants and radar operators as to exactly what was unfolding on the East Coast of the United States there were at least two men whose response could be taken for something outside of the ordinary American considering their utter failure in their responsibilities in their official capacities for the United States Government given the coming realization of the magnitude of what was occurring with no coherent warning whatsoever.
One of the two being not-really-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush already struggling his way through an elementary school level book as he was desperate not to make the kind of error that still haunted the political memory of former GOP heavyweight "potatoe" Dan Quayle which still resonated with shrill little girls' laughter through the hallways of America's elementary schools.
Now on top of that memory still haunting him "little shrub" had nearly been knocked entirely off course from his "read-out-loud" by the approach of an aide whispering to him that "one of the Twin Towers had come down". And what on earth was not-really-elected "President" Bush supposed anyhow to do even to start to try to digest that piece of somehow seemingly significant information at the very same moment he struggled just to make a transition to the next paragraph without exposing to the rapt third-graders before him the challenges posed him by the overwhelming task of reading third-grade level English as if it were his first language?
Another couple minutes passed and sure enough another aide entered and told "little shrub" that Vice-President Cheney himself (of all the people that no one wanted to speak with even on a good day) was on the phone and insistent to boot as the aide whispered "Sir, the second of the Twin Towers" has come down. That sounded bad. "Little shrub" continued reading for a couple more minutes as the class became increasingly restless sensing the dis-ease of the men in suits. "Well how many of these Twin Towers are there?" the not-really-elected "President" asked.
"Two sir". The aide handed him the dreaded Vice-President Cheney. "Dick I understand that there were two of these towers and they both have come down which leaves none, I think".
"That's right, you moron". "Little shrub" knew it must have been pretty important then. Cheney was not in the habit of calling his "boss" such things as his usual practice was merely to ignore the "President" and not tell him anything at all as he issued orders or had aides count out stacks of hundred dollar bills for Blackdeath's latest "no-bid" contract advance.
"Any idea what happened, Dick?" "Little shrub" could see the Secret Service detail were coming to get him.
"They were hit by large passenger planes that had been hijacked by Arabs. We have a list of their names with photos." The "little shrub" was impressed by how quickly even with all his "business connections" that Cheney had come up with that information and told Cheney so. "We should have them information we hired them." He reminded "little shrub" that his brother Bush oddly enough also had the contract for the Twin Towers security.
"Is this serious, do you think, Dick? Do you think I better come back? How do you know they're Arabs if it just happened five minutes ago and they crashed into skyscrapers and knocked them down?"
"Like I said we hired them. We know. I have already made arrangements for you to take the exact same motor route back to the airport so no one thinks anything suspicious is going on. You are going to fly around the country on your Air Force One out west somewhere so no one can find you. I will be in the Situation Room, I am already at the White House, and I will be in charge from here on in."
"Thanks, Dick. I really appreciate it. Do you know if my golf video game is on my plane right now? I thought it was going to be a shorter trip?
"You do not worry "shrub". If it is not we will have a couple fighters and an AWAC land in a Wal-Mart parking lot in the Midwest and have it brought up to you."
"Thanks, Dick. You are the best. Let me know what happens with this towers thing."
"Sure Mr. President. Do not worry if I do not get a chance to call for a while. You can always see what is happening on FOX." With that Dick Cheney hung up the phone and glanced around the situation room lit up like a fireworks display. He was not quite sure who or why yet but they had the oil fields marked all over the globe. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. Meanwhile he called over some of the old Halliburton boys and told them to start drawing up their own contracts to move into Afghanistan first and draft some preliminary plans to attack Iraq along the best pipeline routes.
The news reports waiting for months with just a few details to be filled in would be going out over the world news wires in a matter of moments. Lesson One implemented in less than two hours. Cheney had control of the narrative. He got some Congressional wonk to begin work cutting and pasting the "Patriot Act" crossing out "beta" and had the staff beginning to assemble the 400+ page bill to be on every Congressperson's desk by 4 a.m. September 12th.
Beautiful it contained everything that Congress had rejected before in recent years of proposed Executive Branch powers. He figured they would give them five to ten minutes to read it before the critical vote, a matter of "national" security. He made a note to have the word "terrorism" thrown in at least once a paragraph.

Although loyal readers the Ninth Amendment cannot say with certainty how much of the above is precisely correct because of differing recollections the gist of it certainly accurate. Unfortunately what follows and was summarized in the headline to this post is. As readers may imagine there were quite a number of U.S "national security" groups who were caught on September 11, 2001 with their pants way down, particularly those most well-known perhaps of the "acronymed" groups including the CIA, FBI, NSA and so on.
Sadly the facts alluded to in the headline to this post are entirely true. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 tragedy there were a great many diverse representatives of the burgeoning "national security" field who apparently despite the tremendous growth in resources, rhetoric and so on had very little indeed to show for their level or the Country's level of preparedness on September 11, 2001. Cheney pulling Bush behind with a crew of newly emerged "experts" grabbed from their desks who themselves admitted that despite being shown non-stop marathon slideshows for something like twenty hours at a time in a cubicle in the Pentagon really could not say just as the CIA that there was any solid evidence of "WMDs". Nevertheless Cheney in very short order had gotten his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. For him it truly was "Mission Accomplished".
Now of course came time for some of the shamed "national security" agencies" to begin their push from all fronts for "expanded" incursions into Americans' civil rights achieved not so much by honest debate as by deception and the type of legal trickery mentioned in the headline above. These were described by the euphemistic term "enhanced interrogation techniques.
In any case unfortunately this blatant mischaracterization on the meaning of words and laws did tragically find its way also into the area of torture by the United States. How many have ever asked if sincerely perhaps it was terrorists themselves who having planned so much else so carefully had also schemed to raise the level of "terror" such that it resulted in the horrific attacks on U.S. Constitutional rights we have seen perpetrated by legislatures, prosecutors and upheld by the courts as well as acts of torture we never before would have conceived against foreign (or our own) nationals. In any case there is one well-known rumor or a sitting Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals justice who got his seat for life in a deal with the criminal Bush administration in return for writing the original bogus "Torture" justification memo which spawned all the others.
In any case the Ninth Amendment editorial board wishes to emphasize that under the Obama administration in 2009 "The Torture Memos" were released which is a comprehensive collection of all legal memos prepared by the Office of Legal Counsel from 2005-2009 of the DOJ as well as of the CIA which has been described as only having redacted material to eliminate redundancy. This may not be altogether true as there are a couple allusions on the book jacket to some sections still being classified.
"The Torture Memos" - Rationalizing The Unthinkable - released in April 2009 by www.thenewpress.com is Edited and With An Introductory Commentary by David Cole, Professor of Law at Georgetown University, with credentials also including a frequent contributor to the New York Review Of Books as well as others. He lives in Washington, D.C. The Foreword is by Phillippe Sands, QC, a leading international lawyer, a law professor at University College, and author of also of "Torture Team". He lives in London. The Torture Memos although contained in one volume is not a thick book. The Ninth Amendment recently was able to purchase a copy for $3.00 used conveniently shelved with Girl Scout Books.
"The CIA's Office of Legal Counsel, While Saying It Would Not Use Post 9/11 To Allow The CIA TO Use Torture Techniques It Has In Fact Allowed The CIA To Use Whatever Torture Techniques It Wanted". "Chilling. We cannot continue to look the other way." Senator Patrick Leahy, In conclusion: "Rather than demand that the CIA conform its conduct to the law, the lawyers convoluted the law to the CIA's desires". Readers interested for more details concerning these sick U.S. torture programs endorsed by counsel with the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel including enshrining for all time the names of attorneys and perhaps a sitting Justice on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals bring shame to their children and all future generations as well as to the practice of law including further information on the infamous memos used to justify the heinous atrocities perpetrated by the C.I.A. and doubtless continuing to this day in overseas C.I.A. and military prisons may consult the below article for further information.

BREAKING NEWS: Ebola Texas Second Case Dallas Healthcare Giver Provided Care For Texas Dead Ebola Patient Zero Duncan In Preliminary Examination Tests Positive For Deadly Ebola Virus As Eric Duncan's Family Expands Complaints Against Hospital And State For Growing Series Of Newly Documented Errors And Lies
Sunday, 12 October 2014, DALLAS, TEXAS - Reuters in the link below reports that Texas officials announced early this morning that a healthcare worker who cared for the state's first diagnosed Ebola case that of Liberian citizen Eric Thomas Duncan who 14 days after being turned away and 11 days after being admitted for Ebola three days later to the same hospital died on Wednesday, 8 October 2014 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has just tested positive in a preliminary examination for the Ebola virus after the healthcare worker fell ill with a low-grade fever two days ago on Friday, 10 October 2014 who then would be the first person known to have contracted the deadly virus within the state of Texas.
Reporting from the New York Times this morning raises further the possibility that both Mr. Duncan's death from Ebola and the new case reported above need never have happened but for the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and its medical staff engaging in a cascading series of potentially catastrophic errors from the moment Mr. Duncan first made the possibly fatal decision initially to enter the doors of that hospital. His family already claiming he received sub-standard care far lower than to two Americans with Ebola who were flown immediately to a qualified Nebraska hospital because he was African now also have obtained hospital medical records showing in addition to mistakenly refusing to admit Mr. Duncan on Sunday, 5 October 2014 when he presented himself with a fever climbed to 103+ F and clearly informed medical staff and the hospital he had just come from Liberia the hospital further sent him out potentially to infect others including the family with whom he stayed after recording his 103+ degree temperature while suffering severe abdominal pains which he reported at a level pain level of over 8 out of 10 and which are frequently aseryre a symptom of Ebola.
Ironically the DEA the next day finally had been permitted to implement its demand of which it had reportedly harangued the FDA for years that prescription pain medications such as hydrocodone for pain be rescheduled to the highest restriction level schedule 2 which it now shares with drugs such as morphine. Doctors throughout the United States are readily aware that as far as the DEA is concerned it is the DEA that routinely illegally practices medicine without a license nor any formal medical knowledge whatsoever through intimidation of the medical community under such threats that physicians' medical decisions have effectively been abdicated by force to the DEA illegally in contradiction of all medical standards and oaths such as the Hippocratic Oath often.
This without physicians admitting the impropriety and illegality of what has occurred that in order actually to practice medicine since the explosion of the fabricated hysteria of the phony losing "war on drugs" which is in which the State often is complicit in dealing drugs the "drug war" now even being extended to prescription drugs legally prescribed by licensed physicians who now might as well skip medical school and its huge associated debt not get an MD but get a GED to join the DEA and illegally practice medicine without a license.
The DEA does not want patients being effectively treated for pain but prefer they remain in agony rather than experience relief even upon entering the hospital which could explain how a patient with a fever of over 103 degrees and complaining of a pain level of over eight out of ten in the abdomen caused by Ebola which can be one of the world's most painful diseases could be dismissed just with antibiotics which are known to be entirely ineffective for a "low grade" or any virus by dishonest emergency physicians and a hospital committing clear malpractice and in violation of their sworn medical oaths out of fear of the DEA and saving their own hides. Thus tossing Mr. Duncan out back to his immediate U.S. family possibly to infect all others with whom he had direct contact or via fluid on surfaces and greatly reduce his chances of surviving.
Mr. Duncan's family further complained that Mr. Duncan was cremated without consulting or even informing the family and that earlier when his family had contacted the hospital after his death the hospital lied by omission in not telling Mr. Duncan's family that he already had died but instead actually intentionally mislead them to believe he was still alive by telling his family "he could not come to the phone". Perhaps the hospital by this point was desperately trying to cover its and its medical staff's growing series of possibly fatal blunders not just to Mr. Duncan but possibly having led to the second Ebola healthcare worker's preliminary positive examination for Ebola today as well as unknown others possibly yet to be identified as by yesterday as CNN reported the hospital had altered its account of events surrounding Mr. Duncan's care with its release now of at least three distinctly different altered versions of the "facts".
The above complaints of the family which also include Texas officials in what has become an avalanche of possibly fatal errors and intentional contradictory altered accounts on the part of at least definitely the hospital can be found in the second article linked to below in today's edition of the New York Times. Previous accounts of the DEA's war on physicians being permitted to practice medicine including with which medications the physicians see fit to use has been reported here in the Ninth Amendment in earlier posts. It is especially ironic that the DEA's war on pain control should coincide exactly with the worst Ebola outbreak in history one of the world's most painful diseases now having reached the shores of the United States.

BREAKING NEWS: POSSIBLE EBOLA PATIENT TWO NOW EN ROUTE BY AMBULANCE TO DALLAS AREA HOSPITAL. 4 PM EST STATEMENT. Dallas Ebola Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan Dies At Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Ten Days After Delayed Ebola Diagnosis After First Being Turned Away Misdiagnosed To Occupied Apartment By Hospital Emergency Physicians Three Days Earlier Despite Being Clearly Ebola Symptomatic And Alerting Physicians, Nurses And Hospital To His Recent Return From Liberia
Wednesday, 8 October 2014, DALLAS, TEXAS -The Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital "community" congratulated itself for its care and expressed its "sincere" condolences for his "insidious" death (not even mentioning Ebola) to the quarantined family of deceased Dallas Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan who died this morning at 7 a.m. at the hospital ten days after being diagnosed for Ebola on 25 September 2014 three days after what the hospital now blames on a "computer error" for seeming medical malpractice and possible State medical board and healthcare facility regulators' discipline and other possible charges against treating ER doctors, nurses and other medical personnel as well as the hospital administration after his mistaken release to his occupied family apartment three critical days earlier although being clearly Ebola symptomatic but misdiagnosed and released unadmitted even after alerting physicians, nurses, medical personnel and hospital administration to his recent return from Liberia. The hospital altered its original story as previously reported here via the New York Times with the hospital compounding suspicions by later instead attributing myriad errors to "computer error".
The Ninth Amendment lacks information as to whether criminal and/or civil charges for medical malpractice, negligent homicide, manslaughter, infliction of emotional distress to the patient or immediate currently quarantined family in a donated temporary "safe house" to which they were later reported driven personally by Dallas County senior elected official Judge Jenkins with no protection in an apparent attempt at damage control after many more emergency response errors and delays in decontaminating and quarantining the still-occupied apartment, wrongful death and/or any other charges that may be under consideration by Mr. Duncan's family and/or the District Attorney's office including perhaps obstruction of justice for changing the hospital's account or records and possibly needlessly resulting in both lack of time-critical care resulting in his death as well as exposing as many as an estimated twenty other persons in the Dallas area to the Ebola virus.
Any such action by the District Attorney at this time seems unlikely since as pointed out by largely rather unsympathetic commenters on the below linked www.dallasnews.com piece powered by the Dallas Morning News the District Attorney actually reportedly rushed to get information from CNN so as to charge Mr. Duncan before he died for having lied on a bureaucratic form in apparently not disclosing he had been exposed to an Ebola infected relative who was actively bleeding whom he carried and took by taxi because an ambulance would not come to a hospital which turned her away and sent her home. A commenter pointed out that had Mr. Duncan evidently been truthful from the start he would not have been able to come and be the apparent first person to contract aid within the United States. However the Ninth Amendment does not believe that any person giving this position further thought would believe it any way excuses the subsequent serious misdiagnosis and misconduct of the hospital and Dallas and Texas total apparent lack of necessary initial emergency response for days regarding Mr. Duncan's family apartment and those exposed to him even three days later when his Ebola diagnosis was correctly made. Moreover CNN now is reporting "compelling
reports" that the woman Mr. Duncan helped not only was not diagnosed or known by him to have Ebola and even at the time of his departure for the United States after filling out forms and answering questions he was not aware that she had that same day died with no Ebola diagnosis having yet even been made.
Would any of us in any case on reasoned thought really believe a hospital's errors possibly leading to our death or that of totally innocent exposed others should excuse all those involved who then incidentally would continue to treat hundreds or thousands of other patients because of a lack of honesty on any form even one concerning our medical history had there even been one. Even for those who truthfully can claim never to have done any such thing as not provide an accurate answer to a form or question do they really believe this justifies the totally unrelated quite possibly fatal missteps and possible subsequent cover-ups of a totally unrelated treating hospital expected by all including by the oaths of its health professionals to provide its very best care to all the sick who enter. Would they believe they deserved such possible deadly treatment by a hospital were they brought in for treatment for a serious auto accident even though they were believed to have been at fault? We think not. Medical personnel and hospital's errors are never excused in our experience because of any consideration of what might be the incredibly difficult task of definitively determining if they originally could be called responsible for the chain of causation leading to their need for emergency hospital health care. Just as here it now appears the original suspicions of Mr. Duncan's dishonesty were in any case mistaken. Thus what some suggest seems to us to be about the worst public health policy and unethical course of conduct for a health professional imaginable.
In a terse released public statement after cancelling a scheduled press conference (probably on the advice of panicked hospital attorneys) the hospital administration gave no reason for waiting until only four days ago (six more critical days after the already three day delayed Ebola diagnosis) to give the experimental Ebola treatment to Mr. Duncan which already has been widely publicized for appearing to save the lives of earlier Americans returned from Liberia who appear to have recovered.
Likewise the hospital blithely gave the explanation that Mr. Duncan despite repeated pleas from his family was not even given blood transfusions from previously infected patients as were given apparently successfully by all other hospitals to returned Americans because Texas Presbyterian Health Hospital stated that such blood transfusions had "not been proven to be effective" in treating Ebola although CNN noted nothing else at all yet has been "proven to be effective" either. Finally from initial reports from the family in this circumstance as well the hospital later altered its story when later turning away the family's urgings that Mr. Duncan be given a transfusion like all others in the United States of an exposed Ebola patient's blood telling them some time after they had first refused that "now it was too late".
Public Health officials noted that the Mr. Duncan's Ebola case being the first reported as appearing in the United States had not been shown to be contained definitively among those whose vital signs are being followed who are believed but not known definitively to comprise all who may have been exposed to Mr. Duncan while symptomatic or to such things as the towels or sheets on his bed where Ebola can reportedly survive for at least a couple or few days in Mr. Duncan's occupied contaminated apartment which remained unremoved for days as Dallas and Texas officials struggled to find a commercial company willing to perform the cleanup and a lack of Texas permits to transport Ebola contamination on Texas public roadways. The public health official emphasized that Ebola can not yet be determined to be contained in Dallas stating that therefore it still has the potential to extend across the continent or even globally however remote that may be believed to be especially if one relies on Dallas and Texas health officials' assurances that despite all evidence of their initial response or lack thereof that residents may rely on exponentially more competent responses to any possible next and every other possible following Ebola scare that Dallas may experience.
That best be the case as REPORTS OF A PATIENT WHO ACCORDING TO CNN NOW IS EN ROUTE TO A DALLAS AREA HOSPITAL WITH EBOLA SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS REPORTS HE WAS EXPOSED TO "PATIENT ZERO" PRESUMABLY DECEASED MR. DUNCAN.
Interested readers may find more detailed information on the above as well as other related reports in the link below to the www.dallasnews.com report powered by the Dallas Morning News the newspaper located in the place of Mr. Duncan's death. Just breaking news on a possible second Dallas Ebola case may probably best be learned by readers now become viewers from CNN or other television news reports. A press conference has now been scheduled for 4:00 pm Eastern Time as just has been reported on CNN.

JAMA Internal Medicine Publishes Study Concluding With Researchers' Suspicion That Availability Of Legalized Medical Marijuana In 13 States From 1999-2010 May Be Reason For Reduced Annual Opioid Overdose Deaths By 24.8%
Sunday, 31 August 2014, PHILADELPHIA - U.S. News & World Report in the first article with link below this post cites a recent study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine concluding that the availability of legalized medical marijuana in 13 states from 1999-2010 is suspected of being responsible for a most significant drop in the the average annual rate of opioid overdose deaths by about 24.8% during that period in just those same states. That is a dramatic reduction in deaths of almost exactly one quarter.
Researchers reporting the study's findings in JAMA Internal Medicine suspected that this steep reduction was based on the circumstance that in the states in which medical marijuana is legal opioid overdose deaths dropped greatly because patients' use of opioids as painkillers was believed to have been curtailed with some patients able to manage pain successfully by substituting marijuana which is not believed ever to have caused an overdose death.
The link to the article is provided below for interested readers and is followed by links to two more U.S. News & World Report articles from last year with the first chronicling one man's struggle to recovery from addiction to prescription painkillers, cocaine, heroin and drinking and the second focused on his mother's perspective on his addiction.

BREAKING NEWS: Robin Williams Legendary Much Loved Oscar-Winning Actor And Comedian Apparent Death From Suicide At 63
Monday, 11 August 2014, TIBURON, CALIFORNIA - Representatives of legendary much-loved Oscar-winning actor and great comic talent long an advocate of publicizing his long-term struggles with depression and years of recovery from alcohol and drug addiction confirmed moments ago that the 63 year-old Williams was found dead an apparent suicide after an 11:55 am PST telephone call today to the Marin County Sheriff's office reporting he was not breathing and his heart had stopped. Paramedics called to his Tiburon, California home responded within five minutes at noon where Mr. Williams who recently had undergone heart surgery was declared dead unofficially of asphyxiation at about 12:02 pm. pending an autopsy probably tomorrow.
Although Mr. Williams was reported as late as this past July to have returned to treatment where he occasionally apparently had checked himself in over the years for the not uncommon practice of maintaining his sobriety, representatives and his wife emphasized of late Mr. Williams had been struggling with a recurrence of a severe depression bout. Mr. Williams apparently was last seen alive last night Sunday at about 10:30 pm local time at his home which he shared with his wife.
Mr. Williams' wife asked that the public respect the privacy of his family in the wake of this sudden shock and news of his death just hours ago today. The hearts and prayers of the Ninth Amendment go out to the legendary Mr. Williams who with his brilliant talent and courage gave the world so much that it can not even begin to be adequately listed or appreciated here. Beloved fans of Mr. Williams and all interested readers here are referred to other more comprehensive news sources to learn any further details and any developments of this late breaking story in which the Marin County Sheriff's Office has confirmed again that Mr. Williams' death was by an apparent suicide.
The Ninth Amendment reminds readers that times of despair and depression whether related or not to any type of drug or alcohol abuse and/or recovery whether as cause or attempted self-medication never should be considered as the last consideration before taking one's own live in such periods which are a part of the human condition of all and will pass. Persons in distress where such facilities are available are reminded that in many areas the universal 211 personal crisis emergency number (not to be confused nor used instead in circumstances requiring 911 calls) are available as 211 personal crisis calls are now available on all variety of personal matters in many areas of the country.
Where 211 is not available any call out for help to personal crisis counseling services, AA and NA service offices, medical facilities and/or any available friend or loved one are always available and welcome such that one should never not call out of fear of rejection or not receiving help. Help is available to all who ask. Even in the worst of times we urge all to remember that they are NOT alone, and they need only reach out and the worst of times WILL pass. It recently has been reported for example in the wake of final plans to erect safety fences out from the Golden Gate Bridge that almost all persons who have jumped previously with the intention of taking their lives but lived later report in overwhelming numbers that they are grateful to have lived to survive and seen the hardest of times past.
Rest In Peace And God Bless Robin Williams 1951-2014.

Criminal Activities Continue Directed At The Ninth Amendment Log And Its Staff
Saturday, 27 July 2013 - CENTRAL TIME ZONE AND OTHER LOCATIONS - Continuing criminal activities and threats right up to the very moment of this posting still interfere with and would seek to intimidate the expression of Free Speech under the First Amendment by the editorial staff and all associated with the posting of the Ninth Amendment log.
Our thanks to the members of the Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies who have collected information available to us regarding recent criminal activities directed at this site and its staff, including oblique personal threats directed at our families and loved ones and evidencing a large amount of resources devoted to the effort. Our thanks also to the New York Times and especially to Mr. Paul Krugman We also express our thanks to the Department of Defense trained computer experts who have performed a preliminary analysis of the criminal cyberattack(s) directed at the site and now apparent jamming efforts directed at its preliminary transmission.
Others whom we thank wish to remain anonymous at this point as they continue their work.
We appreciate all the support and CONTINUING ATTENTION of our long-time readers and provide further information for those who may be in a position to use such information to bring to swift justice for all to see those engaging in all criminal activities related to this site and/or the individuals seeking to continue making it available to all or readers. Thanks too again to our friends at Yahoo! and Google for ensuring that all cybertrails are documented, preserved and pursued.
Specifically to those at Google, the error code appearing when we have gained access to our "dashboard" is bx-qgcdbk. The primary referring site has switched from that exposed in our earlier post to this: http://thetaoofbadass.pw.
The fact for the day in other news is that according to preliminary reports we have received from our Central European research bureau is that during WWII the contract for the "management" of Jewish and other prisoners of the Nazis in German concentrations camps which also included the tattooing of identifying numbers on the arms of each was awarded to and performed by International Business Machines (IBM) which would put it in a class with other still thriving companies with a legacy dating to Hitler's Nazi German regime including of course Volkswagen ("people's car") and chemical conglomerate I.G. Farben supplier of its trade name pesticide Zyklon B supplied to the Nazis where its was poured into the vents above faux showers in which millions of Jewish and other concentration camp victims were gassed to death.

"...We Should Not Let It Eat Our Brains...." Professor Krugman Asserts In Times' Piece On Social Security And Medicare Reform Delusions
Friday, 16 November 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - New York Times columnist Economics Nobel Prize winner Professor Paul Krugman blasting ignorant would-be reformers of Social Security and Medicare stunned the Ninth Amendment editorial board with his stark assertion that as to bipartisan misconceptions on these matters that "...we shouldn't let it eat our brains." Readers are reminded to refrain from reading FREE UNLIMITED TIMES' ARTICLES SIMPLY BY SETTING FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" NOR USING OTHER MORE RECENT METHODS OF BYPASSING THE TIMES' PAYWALL BY USING SEARCH ENGINES TO DISCOVER OTHERS SUCH AS DELETING MOST OF THE URL (TOP ADDRESS LINE) OF TIMES' ARTICLES. Ninth Amendment comments offered in response to Professor Krugman's strident admonitions were published in the Times' digital edition earlier today verbatim as follows. The link to Professor Krugman's piece appears directly beneath these ads for high-velocity slingshots and binoculars which are endorsed by neither Professor Krugman, the New York Times, nor the Ninth Amendment log. Although they apparently may be by Google which has established "affiliate" relationships with the advertisers. Please consult the ACLU as to any Second Amendment or other Constitutional protections afforded Americans' "right" to bear potentially dangerous or even deadly weapons without the concurrent existence of a domestic standing militia. These slingshots are not toys and should only be used only with responsible adult supervision. Always wear bona fide safety eye and wrist protection. Ninth Amendment readers presumably already are adequately familiar with the characteristics of binoculars.
