GOP Women Hater A.G "The General" Greg "Dark Money" Abbott Rules All State Residents After 30 Years Now Lose "Right" To Know Where Texas Hazardous Chemical Stockpiles Located After $75K+ Koch Brothers Abbott Payoff Post Deadly West Explosion

       Wednesday, 15 July 2015, AUSTIN, TEXAS - In yet another mind-numbing series of steadily mounting preposterous claims that even MAD Magazine would reject for publication on the grounds that they are too blatantly dumb to be believed even by five-year-olds Texas' very own GOP Women (And Their Children) Hater A.G. Greg "Payday" Abbott  has once again thrust into Texans' faces just how abysmally bad his judgment is now extending to a rapidly growing host of hollow gaffes as female-hater Abbott most recently actually tried to pawn off an insultingly pathetic dishonest excuse for having abused his State Office to single-handedly deprive all Texans of critical safety information on potential chemical hazards throughout the nation's second largest state which Abbot himself admitted would not even entitle Texans to find out if some neighbor say right next to a school were storing truckloads of ammonium nitrate in sheds packed up and ready to go.
       Although Republican Abbott may have been too busy soliciting "campaign donations" or who knows what that year such that he just missed the news altogether most Americans will never forget the monstrous devastation that one truckload's mixture of the fertilizer parked beside the federal building in the heart of Oklahoma City completely destroyed the entire huge building instantly killing several hundred federal employees who also happened to be mothers and fathers and daughters and sons and loved ones right in the heart of America in a massively devastating explosion that shook that entire major city and indeed was so massively destructive that its shockwaves were felt around the country and indeed the entire world.
       Yet even in 2014 GOP Woman Hater A.G. Greg "Payday" Abbott would have Texans unknowingly play neighbor not just to undeclared tons of extremely hazardous fertilizer when in the wrong hands but all manner of even far more hazardous chemicals haphazardly spread out among all his fellow citizens of the Lone Star state. Texans who could freely do so for the past thirty years now are not even allowed to learn as a matter of public safety from their State government where the chemical stockpiles are kept.
       After all the hysteria about components entering the country Texans now know from their aspiring Republican governor that as GOP Attorney General his office has ruled that they are no longer even "entitled" to know where there are known ingredients for potentially thousands of bombs that do not even need to be smuggled in because they are already here!  How could any person using their official state position as Attorney General in their right mind have already ruled that as of now Texans will be effectively prevented from finding out where these hazardous chemicals are stored. The answer is just what Texans may have come to expect from Republican governor candidate Abbott who this campaign season has already seen raking in campaign contributions that may well reach into the millions of dollars given with the clear expectation that the money is as with Perry no donation for better government for Texans but for officials making decisions with a direct profit impact on the those that "donate" the money to Abbott's campaign.
       Texans should make no mistake about it that this is not because the big money wishes to buy Texans a Governor for the good of Texas. All they want is to buy another Texas governor for themselves. Perry has gotten them so spoiled and keeping playing business as usual hitting up Texans from their out-of-state mansions getting rich gouging the underclass with payday, title and "short-term" loans that end up lasting a lifetime to struggle to pay off with "fees" that are nothing but usurious interest that would have gotten them their hands cut off in Biblical times and maybe their tongues too if they did not shut up.
       We have friends and family who have learrned the lifetime those "E-Z" and "short-term" loans" end up really lasting will be your own lifetime drained away faster the harder you try as they kill you off struggling to pay them back a thousand times over as you work day and night worse off than you ever were before until they either drive you into bankruptcy (and still keep trying even then to get more money with no shame even after the Court tells them to stay the hell away from you), or they just slowly kill you off plain and simple as you reach for the salt one day and drop dead with your face in your dinner plate the kids hollering at the table and a day later they will be on the phone and then at the door lying to your kin and trying to get them to say that they are owed all your life insurance proceeds. All anyone has to do is hang up the phone or shut the door. Do not ever make the mistake of ever agreeing to anything including not even that there is any known debt of any amount owed by anyone.
       ALL THE PRECEDING IS WHAT WE BELIEVE MAY BE OUR OPINION WHICH IF IT IS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE FROM MOMENT TO MOMENT AND IS WE SUSPECT THE END PHASE PRODUCT OF TOO MUCH "JUNK" AND FAST FOOD AS WELL AS MAYBE THE MERCURY PUT IN OUR FILLINGS AND VACCINES AS CHILDREN. THE NINTH AMENDMENT DOES NOT PURPORT TO NOR DOES IT OFFER NOR PROVIDE ANY LEGAL ADVICE WHATSOEVER ON ANY MATTER AT ALL. ANYONE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE OF ANY TYPE ON ANY MATTER AT ALL MUST CONSULT WITH A LEGAL PROFESSIONAL DULY QUALIFIED AND LICENSED TO PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE.
       It is disconcerting that Abbott the Republican who would become Texas' Governor persists in compounding lies that are so pathetic there seems little doubt he will drive himself to madness were he just to listen momentarily to his own talking trash points. His office claims he had to rule that no Texans could know any longer after thirty years whether or not their very own neighbors were storing hazardous chemicals that might blow up the whole neighborhood and God knows what else because that decision was dictated by some supposed old Homeland Security law that we certainly are not aware of any other state have interpreted the same way since it makes no sense ever and doubtless creates much more of a public safety problem than it possibly could alleviate. How insulting and arrogant can a Republican public official be that he can claim straight to your face that the State has to put you into what for all you know (but of course now you cannot) is a danger a thousand times worse than the non-existent harm that has not been there for thirty years or that your neighbor that you have known forever is suddenly going to fall prey to foreign terrorists who are going to take or get them to use their hazardous chemicals to make a bomb?!
       GOP Woman Hater A.G. Greg "Payday" Abbott apparently thinks so little of the true people of the great state of Texas that he actually publicly told Texans that the way they could find hazardous chemicals on properties ALL OVER the state of Texas was to "drive around" looking for facilities. So a Dallas TV station actually took Abbott up on his idiotic idea and drove around going up to places and facilities and asking to see their chemical lists. As the TV station and the newspaper put it, Abbott's suggestion worked just about "as well as you would think".
       But Republican Abbott rather than just slink away at some point was still just too damn stubborn to give up so he persisted in proving himself even more of an idiot of by suggesting that Texans might look for locations of hazardous chemicals on the Texas Department of Insurance website apparently on the basis of some kind of wild guess without even checking or asking anyone himself in advance about this convenient resource that would we guess as he saw it at least kind of cure some of the many evolving problems of his campaign at least for the moment.
       When survivors still willing to waste their time listening to GOP moron Abbott went to check out his latest fabricated brainstorm they were told that this approach was "useless" for their purposes. Yet unbelievably apparently utterly and completely determined to absolutely make himself look like as much of an idiot as humanly possible moron Abbott the world's most pathetic magician then suggested that perhaps (presumably if he asked nicely and wore a tie) the Texas legislature would allow all Texans to go and try to bother local fire stations for the information "during regular business hours".
       Now that last one sounds so incredibly stupid and delusional that one can only imagine that request making firemen's and firewomen's (we guess they have those) jaws drop and proving decisively that Abbott was in no way qualified to be Governor of Texas until he at least tried a mild lobotomy and a few years bed rest. One thing seems clear and that is that Abbott really must need the job as it is hard to see how he could make any rational decisions whatsoever as Governor and therefore like Perry should have a whole group of handlers like Perry who if he goes too far off the mark presumably can just take him out and drag him home for a nap before he torpedoes his entire political career single-handedly. Kind of like Perry needing someone to tackle him off the stage the moment it became clear his brain ran entirely dry on glucose about five seconds into the last round of the Republican national debate. At this rate the Ninth Amendment believes that the only fair prediction the editorial board can make is that Abbott cannot win for Texas governor even if he were the only one running against himself.
       So why cannot GOP Texas Moron Woman-Hater Greg "Payday" Abbott just not tell the truth for once for goodness sake. He must have had to at least on a few occasions as a child. After Abbott's behavior so far and a decade of watching Perry get paid off it would not seem to be such a big surprise or anything if Abbott were to just directly openly charge for favors. It would seem to have so much more dignity. And clearly no one in Texas at least at this time aggressively prosecutes these guys for anything since they are the ones that by now have given every patronage job and anything else that belonged to Texas away that was not nailed down. It is one way of protecting oneself. One can just see all the feds sitting in their offices smiling to themselves and waiting to see how much rope these guys will take imagining the day that the suits must swarm Perry probably off-guard in his running shorts and relieve him of his fearsome dog-killing laser-sighted six shooter, or was it a fox, or a wolf, or no come to think of it we are sure Perry was sure it was a bear. And no doubt it threatened Perry's dog.
       Yeah, that's the ticket. In any case the true boring story here is just one more payoff for Abbott is what it took. Perry sold the State's air and water off long ago. The Gulf of Mexico they sold for what they could before leaving it as a pit of mixed Corexit and oil and floating chunks of poisonous hardened muck floating just beneath the surface fifty-two times more toxic just below where you cannot see it from the surface. But one sadly will not be seeing anymore shrimp and shallow water fish either for a long, long time, or maybe at all around here. Some say they will call it the Gulf of Corexit now, others the Gulf of Perry.
       In any case the long sordid story of Abbott here comes to a pathetic end for the moment. Little doubt he like Perry will return from disaster after disaster returning like one more zombie of the walking dead. He surely can say with conviction that he did nothing for anyone to make anybody safer. Any fool can see that. No, friends the sad truth is that in the wake of the deadly West explosion of hazardous chemicals in 2013 the Koch Brothers have paid off Abbott to the pathetic tune of just $75,000. Looks as if Texans are looking for a next governor who thinks modest, real modest, at least when he thinks at all.
       Then Texans may just have found their man. After all $75,000 to keep all information of hazardous chemicals from all the citizens of the second biggest state in the United States, and even make up a bonus lie that that is out of concern for safety because of some Homeland Security law, and another that the information is available on a web site where the commission that runs it says "not a chance", and then to even take it one step further and actually pretend like one was going to propose to the Texas legislature that it make local fire stations available during regular business hours to the public is beyond preposterous, Abbott is achieving a level of absurdity worthy of Eugene Ionesco. Firepersons curating public information records to members of the public in a place which is tailored absolutely to the extremely important local public safety functions of a community in matters of life and death, monitoring members of the public in such a work environment, which also happens to serve as the firespersons' actual home when they are on duty, but limit visiting hours of members of the public wandering about so that firepersons only are burdened with this minor inconvenience during "regular business hours". What the hell are "regular business hours" in a fire station!? Does Abbott take the people of the great state of Texas for imbeciles. We wish he would enter into a saloon in the 19th century and say such rubbish to locals as he told them how he wanted to run for sheriff. He would be shot dead and thrown in the street in about a minute.
       These ill-considered insultingly stupid matters aside the fact of possible catastrophic environmental accidents alone resulting in contaminated soil and groundwater cleanups being needed in places where authorities have at best a haphazard awareness of the presence of such threats alone might instantly catapult Abbott into the formerly otherwise unoccupied stratospherically deranged environmental hazard orbit of "Professor" Idiot Rick "Payback" Perry whose Texas office after nearly a decade of intentional environmental mismanagement and carte blanche to his out-of-state bankrolling cronies filthy industry "self-regulation" which the USEPA yanked within two weeks of seeing first-hand the mess he had created will leave the fine honest hardworking Texans who trusted him as a steward of the magnificent Lone Star State whose land they have loved with what now in 2014 boasts some of the very dirtiest air and water in the United States trailing behind Perry like the filth of the San Antonio River as he jets out of town to his adopted radioactive homeland of Japan to leave GOP moron Greg Abbott presiding over a wasteland of filth.

$1 Million In Bribes To GOP Texas A.G. "The General" Greg "Dark Money" Abbott Disguised As "Campaign Donations" By Six Rich Law Firms Directly Regulated By Abbott "In Bondage"

       Sunday, 25 May 2014, AUSTIN, TX - Republicans' corrupt sexist candidate for Texas governor present sitting GOP Texas Attorney General Greg "Dark Money" aka "Payday" Abbott the woman "I own your body" hater today has been exposed as awash in nearly $1 million in bribes in the form of  "campaign donations" over the past decade by just six rich law firms "whose financial interest he is ruling on" according to Texans for Public Justice not to mention who knows how many other "Payday" loan usurers and so on including over one-fifth of $1 million in the present 2012-2013 campaign cycle. The six law firms include a nationally known Washington, D.C. based law firm nearly leading the group in donation amounts.
       Republican Abbott reportedly is known to at least one of these firms as "the General". The General's campaign did not deny but dismissed the what effectively were bribes throughout his more than decade-long tenure in his present public office as inconsequential because they only involved such non-judgmental matters as "legal determinations" which characterization should no doubt be of interest to actual courts of law should Abbott ever happen to be prosecuted for anything. His campaign apparently is unaware that in such matters as often criminal conflicts of interest the standard need not even be actual but only have the "appearance of impropriety" to be equally eligible for punishment.
       Presumably if the exposure of this information is of such casual lack of concern one can only imagine what misdeeds and/or criminal behavior of his might be of any concern to his campaign as he certainly demonstrates daily his bona fides for taking over the state's governorship from Texas' career Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry whose handlers presumably still again have aspirations between lapses in his brain dead condition for him to be President of the United States where he presumably would be in the best position to cause real concern to the world community by threatening to have the United States secede from itself amongst other idiotic pronouncements buttressing his already well-known complete lack of familiarity with the functions of the executive branch of the United States government such as it Department of Energy which it no doubt would surprise Perry does not just subsidize wacko windmills but actually assembles the nuclear components of weapons hopefully to help insure the nation's security.
     With the question looming larger on whether Abbott the General can actually be elected from behind prison bars to be the next governor of Texas (which no doubt is no more than a rote "legal determination" requiring no judgment or discretion so he actually can readily himself spit forth the answer which would of course be "sure") so that he presumably could follow the Republican playbook of pardoning Perry from all pending state (but not federal) criminal charges at the time and continue to blaze the path of destruction to the Great Lone Star state and all true honest hardworking Texans championed by his GOP mentor Perry. Rather than wasting more space on the latest misdeeds of Texas' Republican criminal crop of candidates here interested readers are referred to the excellent investigative report today exposing Abbott the General's most egregious known activity to date via the link below.
       Unfortunately the San Antonio Express-News digital edition has buried the fine work of reporters David Saleh Rauf and Peggy Fikac such that even on finding this link readers further are given only  the rather innocuous first paragraph of the lengthy report as the paper apparently prefers to highlight stories on how Republican Abbott the General's Democratic opponent Wendy Davis tried to restrict access to forty ounce beers in her hometown and another story attempting to distance Republican Abbott from the "disgusting" posters of the Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" reported on here in the previous post. The Ninth Amendment editorial board is confident that interested resourceful readers will succeed however in themselves accessing any other facts they may seek and draw their own conclusions.
       In any case the six law firms with legal determinations before Republican Abbott the General therefore are identified and bribes "donated" to his campaigns are listed directly in the San Antonio Express-News table below.

Pro-Abbott Wendy Davis Texas Governor Candidate's Head On Decapitated "Abortion Barbie" Posters Babies Scissored From Abdomen Denied By GOP Woman-Hater "Texas Women Are 'Hoes'" A.G. Gregg "Payday" aka "Dark Money" Abbott

       Sunday, 25 May 2014, AUSTIN - The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment has resolved to and hereby does take the bait and reproduce and distribute far and wide to its select worldwide readership considering its readers' obvious sophistication who are known to prefer to see direct evidence themselves and draw their own conclusions rather than have the facts "restated" and "explained" to them the to be charitable "post-modernist" depiction of Texas Democratic state senator Wendy Davis opposing Texas GOP Moron Attorney General Gregg "Payday" aka "Dark Money" Abbott in the upcoming Texas gubernatorial election (occasional use of longer than one syllable words especially in a series tends to throw the bad guy hacks-for-hire off their stride such as the ones for whom "spellcheck" is the approximate equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary, i.e. most of them) reportedly these past days posted in strategic Los Angeles locations where Wendy Davis was was planning a visit.
       Surprisingly Abbott's campaign whose first secretly-connected PAC was named "Boats 'n Hoes" to make Texas Attorney General "Payday" aka "Dark Money" Abbott's opinion of his female opponent and all Texas women unambiguous in case anybody was confused on that issue reportedly has denied any connection whatsoever to the extremely mysterious appearance of the postings. Presumably the Attorney General would refrain either from personally, having at his direction, conspiring or with knowledge aforethought or after the fact in any way be involved with an illegal activity (unlike present Texas Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry) such as posting this arguably offensive and somewhat unprofessional material on public property where it would be plainly visible to persons such as schoolchildren, churchgoers, Republican dark money "donors", payday and title loan store, and short-term loan bank owners and so on.
       Later reports are rumored to have been circulated by Abbott's campaign that allegations connecting Texas' highest elected legal official Abbott to the postings in public communications sent out earlier from Ms. Davis' campaign headquarters such as that below are blatant unfounded lies with Abbott's campaign instead pointing the finger at a reported confession by what has been described as a possibly elderly senile demented unwell Texas woman who commissioned the postings by a Los Angeles street artist for personal reasons.
       In any case readers fortunate enough to come upon an original posting may wish to hang on to it as a "limited" edition one day having potential historical and/or monetary value as a curious artifact encapsulating the degree of sophistication of Texas 21st century politics. Failing that persons who anticipate one day facing the death penalty in Texas may be able to have their counsel hand it to the Court as a work commissioned by them and parlay their sentence from one of death to one of life in a Texas institution for the criminally insane should they find the prospect of spending the rest of theirs presumably in the company of many of the state's former political players preferable.

Martin,

This actually just happened:

Desperate Greg Abbott allies plastered ridiculously offensive posters on phone booths and bus stops that depict Wendy Davis as an "Abortion Barbie."

Yes, you read that correctly. We’re actually talking about posters with Wendy's head on a Barbie doll's body and a plastic baby coming out of the stomach.

If you're as disgusted as we are by personal attacks like these, you can help Wendy fight back with a contribution of $5 or more right now.

Whether it's paying the women in his office less than men for doing the same work or campaigning with an admitted sexual predator, it seems that Greg Abbott can't let a week go by without showing how out of touch he is with women.

But just when we thought we'd seen it all, Greg Abbott and his insider friends have reached a new low.

And here’s why: They know that Wendy has spent her career fighting for all Texans – and Greg Abbott can’t say the same thing.

So to distract voters from Abbott's real record, his backers are turning to extreme tactics like the disgusting display we just saw.

And we have to do everything we can to fight back. Please join our grassroots team with a contribution of $5 or more today.

There's no better way to respond to attacks like these than to get organized and elect a governor who will fight for all of us. Thank you for being a part of the team that is doing just that.

As Texas Republican AG Candidate Paxton's Non-Disclosure Fined By Texas Regulators Repbublican Candidates' Corruption Scandal Widens Federal SEC Complaint Filed

     Monday, 12 May 2014, AUSTIN - Close on the heels of the Texas Moron AG Greg "Dark Money" Abbott's hastening of a State investigation for contributions from Perry-favorite "dark money" predator lenders in Texas' upcoming election, as reported here in an earlier post, a complaint has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission based on a $1,000 fine levied by a Texas agency against Texas Republican state senator Ken Paxton, R-McKinney running for Abbott's soon-to-be-vacated AG position for working for a Texas financial firm while serving in office without registering with the State.
     The complaint filed by "fellow" Republican state representative Dan Branch, R-Dallas, would seem to confirm predictions that in the wake of Utah's Republican-on-Republican feeding frenzy that similar sordid dynamics, resulting in the resignation of the Utah Attorney General, could now have shifted to the wide-open Texas corruption scandals invited by lame-duck Idiot Texas Governor Rick "Payback" Perry who last year vetoed a bill passed by the Texas legislature to expose "dark money" interests.
     The criminally-inclined cadre of Utah, Texas and other opportunistic Payday / Title / "Short-Term" loan sharks and usurer "dark money" predator lenders formerly operating in Utah until booted out and reportedly moved operations and deep-cover election manipulation scams to Texas where they hope to bilk the hard-working people of the Lone Star State presumably of at least hundreds of millions dollars through their puppet Republican candidates. With the stakes getting so high Republicans have resorted as in Utah now to preying upon one another with public relations and more subversive attacks.
     As stated by Craig McDonald of Texans for Public Justice because each of these two latest Republicans embroiled in secretive financing matters already have a generously-described "questionable" history in matters regarding any type of real transparency or disclosure regarding their affairs in public office these "top" (at least for the time being) Republican candidates reportedly according to the San Antonio News-Express have been described as demonstrating they "don't appear to be committed to open government and transparency.
     "They may talk about it but when push comes to shove, they're not here on behalf of [Texas] voters and taxpayers with respect to open government," McDonald reportedly said.

STOP LOANSHARK "PAYDAY" LOANS / BANK CROOKS DIRECT DEPOSIT "ADVANCES" NOW! Interest Rates Worse Than Usury Exploit Hard-Working Americans Even Target Senior Citizens And The Disabled.Obama's Consumer Financial "Destruction" Bureau No Help As Criminal Banks Wells Fargo, Bank of America And Others Garnish Wages Even Illegal "Direct Diverting" Social Security Payments

POST EDITED FOR COHERENCE SINCE ORIGINAL PUBLICATION BY OUR INTERNS

     Friday, 15 March, ROME - Ciao, bella! Good morrow readers near and far. We welcome our much-appreciated returning readers and the most recent and previously even unknown countries' citizens still joining our global audience after several years of posts affirming that much of the world still awaits a compact such as that embodied in the United States Constitution and the promise to the People of the plain text of the Ninth Amendment thereto so far ignored by the United States Government.
     The United States once was revered the world over through much of its nearly two hundred and twenty-five year history well into the 20th Century for doing mostly good both at home and abroad in the advancement of all humankind as it largely fulfilled the genius set forth in its Constitution  Its mandate simply strictly to follow the plain text of that remarkable document in its establishment of a State specifically prohibiting ceaseless governmental intrusions at home and abroad however slowly and methodically has been undermined by progressively more rapacious United States governments.
     The evolution of a State dangerously disrespectful and contemptuous of the Constitution's strict limitations in.words unambiguously intolerant of successive United States governments' incremental obvious encroachments on the rights, privileges and liberties of individuals and indeed all humankind deemed fundamental and inalienable has been at the peril of the survival of the United States as the Country its People intended it to be. Quite possibly the worst of more recent Administrations have even purely for their own purely selfish and even evil ends sown the seeds of the United States' demise altogether.
     To those marginally noticing the Ninth Amendment Log's expansion in the past month a few of the more beautiful, breathtaking and broadening features added to the Ninth Amendment (huh?) experimentally as anticipated  in posts a while back do appear to give the metaphorically "below-the fold" lower portion of each post a somewhat more populist flavor. The editorial staff however assures readers that this is not intended to come to define the core of the Ninth Amendment Log as was long ago promised
     As to the new "Speedtest" feature below this simply informs a reader of one's computer internet connection's approximate real-time bandwidth and download capacity. That being as most are aware nothing more than its real-time capacity to carry information programmed as a series of zeros and ones. Although BigBigJoe was somewhat troubled by the slightly slanted visual resolution of the reader's real-time Speedtest experience he seemed marginally satisfied to report that when tested with and without add-ons and filters on Firefox, Internet Explorer and Linux the Speedtest bandwidth test and download speed numbers proved reasonably accurate.
     The Ninth Amendment Log's other new feature is the adult minichat which the Ninth Amendment editorial staff has added on a trial basis to introduce new readers to the Log including from different cultures worldwide and encourage conversation including news and current affairs, while remaining committed to requiring participants provide nothing more than an identifying moniker allowing one another courtesy in using it as a "free speech box" hopefully like Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park in London.
     Readers of the Ninth Amendment have been afforded the protections of the First Amendment and all other pertinent laws (for detailed legal consultation please contact a duly licensed attorney, which legal counseling we do not purport to provide) and with such rights of free speech also come the responsibilities. Because we cannot control the content of what may be said users of this feature are certifying that they are not minors but adults as defined under pertinent laws, and the adult parents of minors also are advised to take note of this as they should best be in the position to control what their minor children are and are not exposed to on the internet.
     Finally on housekeeping matters a click on the photograph of the Ninth Amendment editorial staff's recently retired alternative fuel imperial blue sedan will link readers to information on low-cost vehicle rentals now available in certain states encouraging the shared use of vehicles.
                                            *                                          *                                           *
     Far too little space has been left for the final DIRE WARNING in this post as to the potential and all-to-frequent experiences of ALL types to the (at first) seemingly extremely painless to procure so-called PAYDAY LOAN. This includes especially people on fixed incomes and social security which benefits very rarely are lost by debtors thus providing PAYROLL ADVANCE SHARKS WITH THEIR FAVORITE VICTIMS. That is the old, the infirm, the disabled and the sick receiving a regular check merely to survive and people who often are physically alone and can be viciously attacked over the phone when they find themselves inevitably fallen behind and ensnared in an evil cycle of debt that simply serves to make the "one-percenters" that much richer at the expense of the indigent.
     Never feel ashamed but please reach out for help when it  is needed as it is there. Remember this financial enslavement from which sadly the State largely has not had the political will to protect its citizens has happened to many who should know better, including even for example to highly-educated former contributors to this web publication. Please avoid this usurious trap of astronomically high unmanageable interest rates that become an ever worsening trap many find to become a prison cycle of debt from which they never escape until they reach out for help. Victims can make the phone and the computer instruments of their salvation as well as tools for crooks to reach right into their homes and their pockets..
     Beware although Social Security cannot be taken from recipients by garnishment or anyway directly, once it is direct deposited in one's bank, according to the AARP article linked below, PAYDAY loan companies have taken such funds until this practice was pronounced unambiguously illegal. But most states still allow PAYDAY loans. Sadly the US Consumer Financial "Protection" Bureau (CFPB) will NOT help because President Obama caved to other politicians and to "donations" so the CFRB continues to state it still is "studying" the matter.
     Of course it is. After ten years of people going broke from loans that easily can come out to five hundred or a thousand per cent, they know it is as criminal as loan sharking and should be so punished. Readers please get help if in trouble with payday loans. If not get help before the trouble begins. Readers can always change their minds and walk back in to being a slave in a cycle of hell for five, ten or even all the rest of their years. There is no harm in first getting available advice from someone who is impartial.
     Those interested or considering such loans or bank advances please read below and click on the link to the excellent AARP article. And remember NEVER get a DIRECT DEPOSIT ADVANCE from WELLS FARGO OR ANY OTHER BANK. THEY ARE IN OUR LAY OPINION A WAY AROUND THE LAW AND GET AT ONE'S SOCIAL SECURITY AS SOON AS IT IS DEPOSITED IN THE BANK IN VIOLATION OF THE 1935 ACT ESTABLISHING SOCIAL SECURITY AND THE SANCTITY OF ITS PAYMENTS. This is especially crucial this year as 2013 is slated to be the last year that Social Security benefits will be distributed in any form EXCEPT direct deposits. Let's not make it a field day for criminally inclined financial community or others of like mind. We can tell our government representatives we do not want that, and that if they do, we do not want them.
