Keeping An Eye On Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Parmalat, and Other Criminal Members of the "Investment" Community

     Wednesday, 14 March 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment with this post originally drafted for publication on or about 19 November 2011 brings readers back to some fairly recent history with our routine reminder that READERS SHOULD AVOID READING FREE UNLIMITED DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES CONTENT SIMPLY BY SETTING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". The subject is one too often easily forgotten by Americans since at least the Great Depression that commercial, investment and who knows what other kinds of banks (savings and loans let us not forget) should in almost no cases be confused with any type of behavior that might be described as ethical or any synonymous concept.

     The fact for the day is that commercial banks such as Bank of America now long have charged non-customers fees to cash checks at their banks even when the instruments are written on their own customers' accounts. Moreover the banks, brokers, and other members of the "investment" community's attempts to institute a plethora of new fees suggest that they have taken greed to a new level or that business is not going so well as they might have one imagine through doctored accountants' statements as to their financial fitness. 

     The hidden fact for the day as touched upon in the Ninth Amendment's comment (digitally published or unpublished our IT department is unsure due to continuing problems with excess car wash wax on our servers) with minor editorial changes in response to a Times piece last November is that major banks and accounting firms routinely have been intimately involved in profiting from criminal conspiracies such as that resulting in the Italian Parmalat dairy bankruptcy which to the best of our knowledge has been the largest bankruptcy in history.

     One would suppose that just like Goldman, Sachs any person or entity could "lose money" if no matter how much they made, they gave away a greater amount in bonuses, deferred compensation, hidden compensation in offshore accounts or who knows what else. This is "math" (or "Hollywood accounting"). "Risk" is not such a concern with limitless corporate welfare (on threat of bringing down the State if not given all for which one cries), bought politicians, and hawking garbage off to clients. Goldman, Sachs most likely is not losing much sleep over this. It is very hard to lose when you get to keep all you win (or are handed out) and any downturn is fully covered so there can be no actual loss.

     As for Bank of America we at the Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com closed the last account any of us ever had with a bank decades ago after a B of A San Francisco branch manager actually wrote us a letter apologizing for absolute ineptitude in repeatedly committing elementary math errors attempting to maintain a couple modest accounts we held. Since then the criminal nature of Bank of America has come to our attention repeatedly in domestic actions and stretching across the globe in gross criminal misconduct setting up fake accounts in places that do not even exist and conspiring in a variety of other enterprising ways that directly contributed to and concealed the largest meltdown and bankruptcy in history on which B of A itself finally pulled the plug deciding it had stolen all it could and thus precipitating the Parmalat bankruptcy. Simple research on this global criminal enterprise based in Italy readily will reveal the complicity and participation of B of A and many of readers' other favorite banks and accounting firms, including those brought in by Italian law to relieve the previous firms to insure that nothing was amiss, yet decided instead to join right in. Solution: Take your money out of the bank and put it in a credit union. It is insured.

Murderer Hypocrite Obama Times Reports Kills Americans With "Targeted Killings" With Neither Legal Process Nor Legal Counsel

     Tuesday, 13 March 2012, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment on the particularly sad day of 11 March 2012 for the United States not to mention Afghanistan routinely reminded readers to AVOID READING FREE UNLIMITED DIGITAL CONTENT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES SIMPLY BY SETTING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
     Today's post was to incorporate a draft comment submitted to the Times last Sunday on its belated article regarding Attorney General Eric Holder's pathetic excuses presented to the press regarding the theme justifying "targeted killings" captured in the above title. The Ninth Amendment's IT Department continues its diligent search for the comment apparently soaked in excessive car wax spray in a computer server in one of the Department's mobile units evading a drone through the drone car wash escape method detailed in an earlier post.
     The fact for the day remains that the Obama Administration's heinous acts in killing American citizens with zero oversight is even less than that practiced by the Bush Administration in seeking cursory "legal counsel" before directing that acts of torture be committed. The hidden fact for the day is that Murderer Hypocrite Obama personally must order drone assassinations of American citizens before they and perhaps some unfortunate others nearby are killed, i.e. "collateral damage".      
     As stated in the Ninth Amendment's earlier draft comment in his continuation and expansion of the atrocities of the Bush Administration and his Administration's exponentially expanding Unconstitutional acts the Ninth Amendment sadly must come to acknowledge that the United States probably never should have elected former "top law school graduate" and "Nobel Peace Prize winner" Barack Obama but let him remain the self-confessed "selfish" drug user he was previously.

"Loyal" Democrat House Members Eager For More of the "Good Life" Flock Back To Obama Because Republican Equals Economic Depression, Obama Betrays Constitution

     Friday, March 9 2012, WASHINGTON, D.C. - In that once swamp known as Washington, D.C. Democratic candidates reportedly flock back to President Obama in their desperate bids to see what else they can milk from the United States by winning another term as can be seen in the New York Times article linked to our comment digitally published below. Readers again gently are reminded that they should AVOID READING FREE UNLIMITED CONTENT FROM THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES USING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" the Times now having acknowledged the failure of its paywall by firing the executive who implemented it and now desperately trying to sell digital subscriptions alone without obligating one to also deforest the planet by paying for hard copy papers as well. So much for the Times administration.
     The Ninth Amendment in a rare disclosure of functional organization informs interested readers that it operates on the principle of an enlightened monarchy but for the fact that there is no monarch and it inevitably reverses decisions under verbal abuse from staff members.
      The fact for the day is that the place to go in San Francisco reportedly hot hot hot is Polk Street where just last night in a block's space one could see about ten emergency vehicles including S.F.PD. police vehicles, Highway Patrol cars apparently having chased a vehicle from some freeway of which there are none in the area, and of course random ambulances and ladder fire trucks from Station 3 around the corner. Naturally local merchants who sell almost exclusively alcohol, complex devices for smoking "tobacco", street weapons, and pizza were delighted with the turnout and no doubt eagerly await tonight's which should roughly double last night's it now being the weekend. Oh, and one last thing possibly of interest, curiosity or otherwise to readers, a large truck sponsored by Larry Flynt's Broadway club with a glass aquarium on the back featuring five naked dancing women and behind a police car honking at the car between and swerving to the center of Polk Street to get a better look.
     Not particularly related to today's post featuring the most recent Ninth Amendment comment posted in response to the above-mentioned article and digitally published by the New York Times (verbatim with FIVE! minor editorial corrections) but perhaps of intense interest, disgust, or some other response of our faithful readers whom we strive of course to keep completely informed with one fast source of all pertinent news.
     Incidentally the hidden fact for the day is that the ostensible headquarters of the National Security Agency (West) although not as easy to find as the George Herbert Walker Bush Center for National Intelligence (CIA) in Mclean, Virginia is about five blocks away from the San Francisco Federal Building in fact on Post Street east of Polk right next door to above-mentioned S.F Fire Station 3 standing four stories tall (visible above ground) with a neon sign reading "Diva" at the top below a roof bristling with antennas. Diva also apparently serves as an after-hours nightclub due to U.S. Government cutbacks.
     The Ninth Amendment's Times' digitally published comment follows:
    • BigMartin
    • waronnothing
    President Obama is no idiot tool of the rich. Or as rich as "I am Poor-Boy R[o]mney". No doubt it is obvious to him that the filed [stet - field] of Republican primary candidates are a pack of losers a la once-disgraced is not enough clowns such as Newt Gingrich. Any casual student of history knows that Repbulican [stet] presidents from George "little shrub" Bush back to all Republicans before instituted policies which have been the cause of ALL significant economic depressions. It has taken a Democratic President subsequently to save us.
    The Ninth Amendment at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com notes that Republcans [stet] have pandered to the tiny rich elite while getting the votes needed by manipulating less fortunate Americans with rhetoric meaning nothing to the Republicans while cynically intentionally perpetuating their ignorance.
    Our editorial board is disgusted with President Obama's continuation and expansion of policies destroying our fundamental rights under that sacred pact with the American people known as the United States Constitution . He has exponentially accelerated the obliteration of our rights following the footsteps and worse making permanent misdeeds of George "little shrub" Bush.
    Were it not for that uniquely sacred document crafted in 1789 we would not be the Country we have become and most likely would be long gone. Had Republicans been Founding Fathers we might have given the Country [stet - a month]. Had it been the work of the Bush criminal conspiracy perhaps a week.

Rich-Boy Romney Confesses to His True Poverty and Admits Sole Claim To Being Roosevelt Heir, Survives "Super Tuesday"

     Wednesday, 7 March 2012, BOSTON, MASS. - As the Nation reels with excitement over the stellar crop of Republican candidates still mathematically capable of serving as President of the United States, the Ninth Amendment reminds its readers to AVOID READING UNLIMITED FREE CONTENT OF THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES SIMPLY BY SETTING THEIR FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". Today's post below features the Ninth Amendment editorial staff's response to Times columnist Professor Paul Krugman's recent observations on Mitt Romney presented in his piece entitled "Equality of Opportunity, Never Mind" (as published verbatim with one editorial correction here from the digital Times version).
      The Ninth Amendment sincerely apologizes that the fact for the day is absent here due to time constraints but numerous facts should be available from other sources. Readers are reminded to exercise caution that all information presented as fact is not necessarily so. For example readers may refer to the Krugman "Romney in his own words" piece linked to the comment below. 

     Thank you Professor Krugman for exposing slight inconsistencies in Mr. Romney's statements and minor inaccuracies in tangential areas such his rendition of facts. The Ninth Amendment log at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com finds it unlikely that Romney in selflessly naming himself the "true heir of Teddy Roosevelt" refers to that for which our editorial board most fondly remembers Roosevelt, namely his beautifully crafted end run around Congress upon its passing the "Antiquities Act" with which power Roosevelt just ignored any limitation Congress believed the Act contained on a modest amount of federal land the President in his sole discretion might preserve as national monuments but instead got out a map and pen and before Congress could blink had saved for all future generations so much land that it came [stet] now forms the core of this Country's protected treasured jewels known as the National Park System.
     Likely given the Romneys' economic hardships in scraping by without benefit of jobs at college and later simultaneous enrollment in two Harvard graduate schools living only on sales of stock given by his father, Romney probably believes somehow it was overlooked that President Roosevelt's Will meant to give Romney everything. Romney's delusions aside, his candid comparison of himself to Roosevelt should be right on the money, as it were, in that Romney like Roosevelt who took office when President McKinley was assassinated, will never be elected President of the United States.

President Obama's Israeli "Pact" That Was Not, New Materials From Our Vaults, NSA Signals Intelligence FOIA Requests, Occuwhat? Outlawed

     Monday, 5 March 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment reminds readers to avoid reading FREE UNLIMITED DIGITAL CONTENT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES SIMPLY BY SETTING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING. We are pleased to report we now have completed a blue-ribbon review of our archival materials. No, readers, we are not collecting in storage containers all material ever printed or published or filmed by humankind up through the first decades of the internet to insure that some "true record" of the past will survive that cannot be altered merely by a computer command which will enable those who would be so inclined to "change history" at will bu t at least must go to the trouble of publishing a book, research paper or perhaps something in hard copy to refute the existence of true historical events. We understand someone else is working on that project.
     The Ninth Amendment merely wishes for reasons of consistency and historical integrity to publish in this post and a few that follow some relatively recent posts prepared for publication which were never earlier in fact converted from draft to final publication as our IT staff overlooked clicking the "Publish Post" icon as IT has been so busy studying the signals intelligence information, coloring books, pornographic videos and poorly redacted pages sent in response to the Ninth Amendment's FOIA requests of the National Security Agency.
     The fact for the day is that President Obama has gone so far as expressly to assure Israel that the United States will engage in nuclear war or worse if it is in the "defense" interests of Israel, with particular emphasis focused on any possible nuclear weapon capability of Iran being pre-emptively responded to probably with complete annihilation despite repeated top intelligence reports from executive "national intelligence" agencies that Iran has dismantled its nuclear program. These reports are believed to be likely inaccurate as many such previous reports have been on different "foreign intelligence" matters such as Iraq except perhaps must significantly reports of suspicious pre-9/11 global activity which were completely ignored.
     The hidden fact for the day is that Israel is not known to have made any similar such reciprocal pledge to engage in nuclear war or worse on behalf of  the United States should this country's "national security" interests be challenged, must recently allegedly in Afghanistan and Iraq where on each front to the best of the Ninth Amendments' global bureaus' information any Israeli troops fighting alongside the United States and NATO allies were noticeably absent. As, in fact, Israeli military power used in support primarily of United States "national security" interests has been absent from all United States conflicts since Israel came into existence so far as our research department knows.
     This trade-off sounds somewhat reminiscent of the unspoken pacts regarding those hot-shot Wall Street investment bank gambles where their odds appear particularly favorable since the investment bank can only win for its own enormous profit or unlike most of us be bailed out also at a profit by the full faith and credit of OUR United States when it seemingly loses. This is known in the George Walker Bush National Intelligence Center near the petting zoo in Mclean, Virginia as a WIN-WIN situation.
     In any case on to a comment response submitted to the New York Times on Monday 17 September 2011 to the venerable Professor Paul Krugman in response to a piece he wrote. It is unclear at this time if the Ninth Amendment actually was digitally published in the Times but, in the words of Google "our best people are working on it". We are confident that our readers will grasp immediately that our comment was submitted in response to a piece of Professor Krugman's regarding what has come to be know as the "Occupy" movement, below the "occupied" area being Wall Streeet in a modest sort of way. (At present now having evolved into a re-definition overwhelmingly by the United States House of Representatives from a First Amendment assemblage -- many of the new Repbulican and "Tea Partier" members being completely unfamiliar with the document commonly known as the United States Constitution -- into some sort of nationwide conspiracy of potential assassins to be hauled off in chains at the first opportunity).
Comment:
      Thank you once again for clearly identifying in a straightforward manner another economic reality that here addresses the roots of the Wall Street protests that one would have thought was belaboring the obvious to anyone with a memory capable of recalling major events that have occurred in less than the last couple decades. The Ninth Amendment log fully supports you, sir, in hopefully finding the opportunity to issue reminders as needed. Meanwhile it appears the NYPD will take care to ensure that through the strategic use of unnecessary violent attacks, arrests, and movable outdoor prisons on peaceful protestors which obviously are widely broadcast instantaneously the NYPD itself soon will accomplish the nurturing of a modest protest into an event of unknown proportions that may give obscenely overpaid financial industry welfare ingrates and their cronies something more to do than whine.

Hypocrite Obama Perpetuates the Phony War on Drugs While Senator Feinstein Tries to Undo Some of Obama's Constitution Dismantling

  •      Wednesday, 29 February 2012, BARBARY COAST, CALIFORNIA - Again a hearty
    "welcome back" to Ninth Amendment readers with whom our editorial staff and global bureaus are pleased to be able to share a wealth of new material which includes Ninth Amendment comments which continue consistently to be published digitally in the New York Times probably because we are the only ones awake at our Western United States newsroom to submit comments shortly after new Times material is made public for comment. The Ninth Amendment routinely reminds readers to avoid SETTING FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING" SIMPLY TO READ UNLIMITED FREE CONTENT OF THE DIGITAL NEW YORK TIMES.
  •      The fact for the day is that this week former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein now Senator Feinstein launches hearings on bills to undo to some degree the damage done by hypocrite President Obama's December 2011 signing of a law with some typically cynical name a la the "Patriot Act" which allows United States law enforcement, secret agents, the military or whomever to arrest without charge and hold indefinitely without notice, charge, or trial any person including American citizens for suspicion of involvement apparently including even thinking about terrorist activity. Senator Feinstein's proposed legislation apparently does not however entirely do away with this obviously sickeningly unconstitutional law but retains parts of it whereas Senator Ron Paul's proposed legislation apparently does away with the heinous law altogether.
  •      The hidden fact for the day is that President Barack Obama once again has entirely abandoned the principles which he allegedly espoused when he first ran for President of the United States. Whether it was Obama's "admission" that although his dealing and use of drugs had been "selfish", his assurance that should he follow George "little shrub" Bush (himself a long-time cocaine user and also a hard-drinking crackhead in his earlier years as a totally unsuccessful Texas "businessman" constantly bailed out by "Daddy" and his friends who eventually gave "little shrub" the Texas Rangers baseball franchise)  as President he Obama would mandate treatment rather than incarceration for non-violent "drug" crimes  which of course turned out to be a total lie. In fact the Obama Administration without blinking immediately following the debacle of the "little shrub" Bush Presidency ADOPTED wholesale the entire drug law enforcement budget of the Bush White House verbatim and fully embraced the forty-year losing phony "war on drugs" ever since.
  •      In fact the dismantling of the United States Constitution has continued relentlessly under the policies of the Obama Administration, from directives to the Justice Department to the CIA to the maintaining of Guantanamo Bay and the imprisonment without notice, trial or charges for indefinite and perhaps permanent periods of time available not only to all citizens of the world but also American citizens abroad or right at home in the United States. Perhaps "secret" worldwide CIA torture prisons have been curbed but they of course have been replaced with a slew of new abuses including assassinations by drone which REQUIRE Obama's signing off on each murder.  Obama obviously figured he got the vote he needed in the last election so screw the people who got him elected. After all where else are they going to run now? 
  •      The Ninth Amendment had to figure something was a little off with the guy after he invited his "special guests" over to the White House "Situation Room" to watch the Osama bin Laden assassination live in surround-sound while he and the guests munched on pizza to which he eagerly returned after spending about thirty seconds sharing the good news with the American people. Where in the world one might ask can Presidents such as Obama come up with these so-called attorneys who are capable of convoluting the "law" to the point where murder is just fine even if now in the interests of safety the CIA drones routinely knock off a few dozen more totally innocent civilians from afar than the CIA did when the assassinations used to be "up close and personal"?
  •      And what God help us all are so-called "legal experts" sworn to uphold the Constitution doing in the Obama Justice Department or White House disparaging, dismantling and altogether just ignoring the fundamental rights afforded Americans in what once was a COMPACT with the American people that these rights were to be held to be inalienable and should the American people's rights be disparaged and the Constitution ignored by the State altogether then any fool knows that the consequence was to be and will be that there was NO LONGER ANY LEGITIMATE BASIS FOR THOSE IN GOVERNMENT TO CLAIM ANY POWER WHATSOEVER OVER THE PEOPLE?
     On that note the Ninth Amendment below presents verbatim its comment published in the digital New York Times in response to an apparently re-issued article on the unavailability of medicines re-published in response to a physician's recent publication of a book describing his disgust with a system of "medical care" which has itself fallen prey to the new police state where "medical care" no longer has anything to do with doctors ministering to the needs of sick patients but instead has become just another element of the fear of the legal consequences should doctors be foolish enough not to recognize that what is needed to practice medicine in the United States is an understanding that an M.D. means nothing but a D.E.A. agent with a G.E.D., no medical training, and a badge who is the one calling the shots. The goal of course being now completely unrelated to relief from pain, healing, or anything silly enough to be mentioned in the Hippocratic oath, but rather making damn sure that NO ONE FEELS GOOD. The Ninth Amendment editorial board's comment published in the digital edition of the New York Times follows.
     As recently explained by the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment log at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com these days there simply is no need to get an M.D. as it is useless for practicing medicine. The best route to providing medical "care" is just to get one's G.E.D. and join the D.E.A. At night you can flash your badge, get free drinks in bars with your fellow warriors in the phony war on drugs, and then crash your government-issue car into a lamppost on the drive to the strip bar. (On this subject also Google the heartbreaking story of Miami U.S. Attorney Melvin Coffee called to D.C. by Janet Reno and fired on the spot at the tarmac simply for biting a stripper on the rear-end a few hours shortly before dawn after a particularly grueling day losing in the courtroom). As for the best drugs certainly avoid the pharmacies or the streets, as the best drugs exclusively are available through the C.I.A., legendary great politicians' medicine cabinets such as Senator Joseph McCarthy and President Richard M. Nixon, or in the nearest police drug evidence locker and dispensary.

Bush Administration Disgraces 9/11 Victims Toxic Heap Burials Victimizes Betrays Dishonors Victims' Remains Dumped As Landfill Waste

      Wednesday, 29 February 2012, MORTUARY AT DOVER, DELAWARE AFB - The Ninth Amendment would like to reassure our readers that we have yet again disguised ourselves to avoid detection from those who would like to keep us from revealing the truth.  Big wigs and mustaches do help! We remind readers to avoid BYPASSING THE TIMES MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR "PAYWALL" TO READ UNLIMITED FREE DIGITAL TIMES' CONTENT SIMPLY BY SETTING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". 
     The fact of the day is that there are more boys born right here in the U.S.A. than girls according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that examines total sex ratios at birth. The CDC calculates the total sex ratio as the number of male births divided by female births times 1,000.  The hidden fact of the day is that according to ecolife dictionary unlike backyard trash pits, a landfill is usually a carefully designed and managed structure that is created to dispose of household and industrial waste in an isolated manner. Starting with a depression in the ground, engineers will line the bottom of the structure with a liner to prevent the waste from infiltration groundwater, soil, and air.
     The Times today digitally published the Ninth Amendment comment to 9/11 Victims’ Remains Disposed Of in Landfill By Published: February 28, 2012, here reproduced verbatim below:

    • Lynn
    • Texas
         First of all I would like to know if this is a landfill (below the ground), or a dump (above the ground)? I find this totally unacceptable. The families of the brave Americans lost in one of America's most horrible tragedies are not only entitled to but also deserve a respectable funeral. Whether it be a single body part or otherwise, they are entitled to a decent funeral. The person who made the decision to just place their remains in a "dump" or "landfill" should be not only fired but should have to face each family the remains of whose loved ones they determined did not deserve the right or decency to a funeral of their families' discretion. God Bless those who died and their families as well. My deepest sympathies, as well as all my colleagues at the Ninth Amendment www.waronnothing.blogspot.com pray for all those suffering to this day due to the senseless waronnothing promulgated by George "little shrub" Bush. May God help us all.

    Rich-Boy Romney Buys Arizona and Michigan Elections Promises Economic and Emotional Depression And More Potholes For the Poor

         Tuesday, 28 March 2012, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, The Ninth Amendment welcomes back faithful readers after our Microbus disguised as a newspaper delivery truck finally gave our "bug drone" the slip (more on that below) and returned us temporarily to our regional headquarters to re-stock in a sewer someplace possibly beneath the New York Times building or maybe the National Security Agency "signals intelligence" research center and cafeteria. We remind readers to avoid BYPASSING THE TIMES MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR "PAYWALL" TO READ UNLIMITED FREE DIGITAL TIMES' CONTENT SIMPLY BY SETTING READERS' FREE FIREFOX BROWSERS TO "PRIVATE BROWSING".
         The fact for the day is that even newer generation CIA drones such as the "non-existent" drone shot down by Iran can be given the slip (and sometimes also captured and cleaned) by driving one's vehicle at high-speed through the car wash paying extra for super double wash and wax as car wash evasion was NOT included in the drones' budget contract. WARNING: This maneuver can prove dangerous and MUST be performed by a trained professional (preferably a Dick Cheney contractor from Cheney's BlackDeath Corporation which once again has had to be renamed to avoid enforcement of judgments and now casts itself as a global band of professors and educators in the burgeoning specialized fields of maniacal mercenary murder and professional government rip-offs for dangerously shoddy or simply totally unperformed work).
        Speaking of non-performance in other breaking news Mitt "the little sh*t" Romney just bought two more primaries in Arizona and Michigan on the standard Republican platform of driving the country further into the ground for the benefit of less than one per cent of our population. The hidden fact for the day is that New York Times star columnist-economist Nobel Prize winner Professor Paul Krugman yesterday presented the cover of his new book Stop the Depression Now! to come out in a few months. Dr. Krugman through his dogged persistence in responding to Republican garbage-think refuses to give up on his optimism born of a top-rate background in economics, a rigorous thought process and a tireless sacrifice to a continuous communication of his knowledge that we do have reason to be optimistic simply by systematically exposing the manifest falsehoods of Republican economic "theories" for what they really are, a ceaseless flow of rank manipulation with no grounding in truthful inquiry or valid solutions for our nation but only self-serving half-baked schemes to try to keep a tiny minority of people in power which to them translates to but one thing and one thing alone, money.
        The Times today digitally published the Ninth Amendment comment to Professor Krugman's announcement of the imminent publication of his new book Stop the Depression Now! here reproduced verbatim below:
    1. BigM
      Dr. Krugman the editorial staff and global bureaus of the Ninth Amendment log at www.waronnothing.blogspot.com comprise some of your most fervent admirers in the world and are delighted to see that you won the Nobel Prize in Economics already and yet still write so prolifically for the Times and have been busy writing a book with such a catchy title. We understand that people who win the Nobel prize such as you and President Obama get some spending cash so they do not even have to work if they do not wish to work. We on the other hand have not won the Nobel Prize, do not have cash, and still do not really work. Most impressively your "Depression" book looks like a self-help book with a very crafty title like the earlier blockbuster "Stop the Insanity" and retro-60's graphic a la "I'm Okay, You're Okay" in that some people will think it is about the economy, some will think it is about their emotional problems exacerbated by a world going down the tubes and others particularly in New York City most likely will think it is a do-it-yourself book for fixing potholes and dangerous dips in the pavement outside their apartments. When we receive our (hopefully) signed advance copies we intend to skim them very quickly so we can be the first to publish a review of your book and help to spread the love. Go, Dr. Krugman, go!

    Ninth Amendment Finds Itself Back to February 2012 Along With Google, the NSA, Signals Intelligence, Unrecognized Casualties of Afghanistan War

         Wednesday, 15 February 2012, BARBARY COAST - The Ninth Amendment reminds readers to avoid reading free unlimited New York Times content simply by setting readers' free Firefox browsers to "Private Browsing". The Ninth Amendment editorial staff and global bureaus have been gratified by our faithful readers who have doggedly continued to read this log daily although there allegedly have been no new apparent posts here in three months. But most especially gratified by our favorite advertiser Mitt Romney to whom Google still has persisted successfully in selling new advertising for the daily posts although the posts have been apparently unchanged the unless read according to algorithms known only to Google and renegade former employees.
          To paraphrase Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's sentiments when holding court here at Vesuvio's in the City at his "home away from home in Woody Creek" (just above Spec's, home of the martini rivaled only by surly Bruno's in the Haight who refused even to acknowledge that the 1960's literally exploded right outside his Persian Aub Zam Zam's front door on Haight Street). To paraphrase Dr. Thompson, "What it's February now? That happened to you too?"
         The fact for the day is that the Ninth Amendment has been with all our readers every day and now has returned to the 51st State of Consciousness after a seeming diversion to the booming field of "signals intelligence" as masterminded by the National Security Agency.. The hidden fact for the day is that the New York Times reported that last year more American private contractors were killed in Afghanistan combat than were United States military personnel, without public announcement, no ceremonial recognition by the United States Government, nor in most cases any survivors' benefits for their widows and orphans. Our hearts go out to them and all killed, wounded, and their loved ones left behind.God Bless America.
