I encourage you to share your viewpoint with Steve Pavlina about the military - please read

2007-01-07T15:12:44Z

I'm not sure if I can in good conscience support Steve Pavlina's views on his blog as much as I did before. I have enjoyed checking out www.stevepavlina.com for a long time, and this is a free country, so he has the right to freedom of speech. I am a military member, and I'm all about good humor, but his blog entry of the day both threw me and saddened me. The majority of the articles I've read on his site are usually very informative and positive and seem to offer value to people's lives. He usually writes and teaches very effectively and encourages personal growth learned from his own experiences. So why, all of a sudden, this pointless jab at the military (www.stevepavlina.com/blog/20...ervice), especially when it relates to the deaths of servicemembers whose families are out there somewhere right now feeling the loss of someone very dear to them, knowing there is nothing they can do to bring them back?

Steve has most likely never served in the military, and until he can know what it feels like to sacrifice, to be out in that desert heat (and, yes, I have been there) wondering when you are going to return home to your family, I doubt he can truly glean what it means to serve his country.

I am not surprised he denied his readers the ability to post comments to this entry. He would have gotten a lot of flak, enough to overwhelm the storage on his server I believe, from veterans and active servicemembers like myself. Most of us have a lot of pride in what we do, and, in NO circumstances, is the death of another Soldier, Sailor, Coast Guard member, Airman or Marine something to joke about. So Steve can dish it out, but I gather that he didn't want to take a chance at having to interact in this discussion to further explain his viewpoint, especially if it were challenged by military family members or their men and women who have fought and continue to fight with courage for our country.

I am a frequent viewer of George Carlin's brand of sarcastic comedy, so I would agree that some very serious issues can be made light of by injecting a good dose of humor, and that sometimes this country needs a good laugh, but not when it is hurled at its bravely fighting souls who have a very serious job to do during a very serious time in our history (and in the future, at this rate). The issue at hand is not if you support the President or our laws or whatever when it comes to politics in the here and now. Debate it all you want. The issue is that thousands of troops are putting their lives on the line everyday in Iraq, a volatile, unpredictable place, so that Americans at home can safely get out of bed every day and go to work without living in the shadow of the fear of another 9-11. I am getting off track, but I have so many strong feelings and so much to say on this subject.

PEOPLE, THE SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND YOUR PERSONAL POLITICAL STANCE ON SUPPORTING THE WAR SHOULD BE TWO SEPARATE CONCEPTS!!!

We need everyone's support if we are to win a war. Sure, you are allowed to have your own opinion, but don't forget that the people trying to win this war and end it, the people helping to redevelop the country of Iraq, are your next-door neighbors, or maybe your kid's football coach or his or her math teacher. We in the military are not strangers in a different uniform than yours, far removed from having human lives. We just made a choice that seemed right for us, which was to protect the values we want to see live on here in this place we call America, for a very, very long time.

We are not blind idiots, being led about by the government, as the media can sometimes paint us. Far from that. Yes, when we make the choice (notice I said CHOICE, because I have seen a few books written by ex-soldiers who act as if they were whipped, tied, tarred and feathered and forced at gunpoint to sign up for an enlistment in the Armed Services) to join the service, we must follow the laws that govern us, whether we agree with each one of them or not. We are people who I believe feel as much, if not MORE, than the average American individual who has never served. How can you really know what you stand to lose until you come close to doing so, until you have to put your own life on the line to help win a war? I tell you, when you have to be away for long periods of time from all that you call home, and you don’t know when you will go home, the importance of every little moment is magnified one hundred times over.

Who is the soldier? He or she can be many things. I am a soldier and prouder than ever to be one. Soldiers come from many backgrounds, religions and races. One stereotype cannot define a soldier or what he feels inside that pushes him to do what he does to save lives and provide humanitarian aid.

General Norman Schwarzkopf said, "Few who have never served their country will understand a soldier's heart." And I find that to be a very wise statement.

Urgent!!! Please Help

I am posting this everywhere I possibly can, Please help us.
There are thousands of good people who could potentially lose their lives very soon.

Since the release of the information on the Sujiatun concentration camp in China, which is reported to do live organ harvesting on Falun Gong practicioners. More people have been stepping forward to reveal information. Recently, a veteran military doctor in the region of Shenyang said that the Sujiatun Concentration camp is just one of 36 such camps. Another camp in Jilin Province referred to as 672-S is said to hold over 120,000 people.

According to the Integrated Committee's announcement, transplant hospitals in China are now telling patients to "come in quickly" to get transplants. Patients are told that matching organs can be found at this time in as short as one or two days. The hospitals are also reported to say that, "it will be difficult after this batch of organs is used up."

We fear that there is going to be a mass execution to “hide the evidence” and get rid of witnesses. PLEASE HELP us, Falun Gong practitioners around the world are requesting an international investigation while there is still time.

This is the US petition, please sign it. It can save someone’s life.

Existence of Chinese Concentration Camp, Says Organs Removed from Live Prisoners Existence of Chinese Concentration Camp, Says Organs Removed from Live Prisoners

2006-03-25T03:14:02Z

Please help us to end this horrible persectuion. knowledge is our greatest weapon, so please share this information. together in peace we can make a difference.

Falun Dafa is a peaceful meditation practice that teaches putting others before yourself, kindness, always telling the truth and being tolerant of others. We are literally being killed for being good people. The national media has done very little to help us because of trade issues with China. It is up to us to let the world know. Please help us.

The witness, a former employee at the Liaoning Thrombosis Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, and says the bodies of Falun Gong practitioners are cremated immediately after the organs are removed. (The Epoch Times)
[High-resolution image ] A former employee of Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine told The Epoch Times during a recent interview that the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in China was actually a part of a hospital. The concentration camp has engaged in taking organs from Falun Gong practitioners when they were still alive and selling the organs. Since 2001, the concentration camp has secretly detained approximately 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners, none of whom have been able to leave the camp alive. The hospital removed many kidneys, livers, and corneas from the practitioners. After the organ removal, the practitioners were thrown into an incinerator, which was converted from a boiler. Their ashes were dumped together with burned charcoal.

Organs from Three Quarters of the 6,000 People Were Removed
Those whose organs were removed were in various states of health. Because many of the victims were illegally detained, there was neither an arrest warrant nor identification as to who these people actually were. Often after their organs were removed, nobody claimed the bodies. Sometimes their bodies were picked up by crooks who pretended to be their family members.

About three-quarters of the 6,000 people died after their hearts, kidneys, corneas, or skin was removed; their bodies were then burned. This witness, whose family member participated in the removal of Falun Gong practitioners' organs, said that approximately 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners remain in the hospital. She was afraid that the authorities would kill all of them to destroy evidence.

The Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine is located at 49 Xuesong Road, Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China. It was the first hospital in China to specialize in the heart, the brain, and surrounding blood vessels. The hospital is composed of several organizations, including the Liaoning Traditional Chinese Medicine College Teaching Hospital and the Shenyang Thrombosis Treatment Center.

Concentration Camp Details
The hospital site is 21,087 square meters, with 17,564 square meters of building area. It employs 460 people in 24 departments and 20 specialized offices. Information from the Chinese government shows that the hospital was established in December 1988, and was formerly named the Shenyang Research Institute of Thrombosis and Liaoning Province Thrombosis Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine. In June 1998, it was renamed China Traditional Medicine Thrombosis Treatment Center.

The Chinese Business Morning View said in a story on July 4, 2004, that a farm worker died of abnormal causes in Sujiatun, Shenyang and was later cremated. The death certificate was provided by the Chinese Medicine Thrombosis Treatment Center in Sujiatun. The news caused a stir in China.

Epoch Times: Did the hospital's medical staff inside the concentration camp know about this?

Answer: This hospital has a small number of officials and some doctors involved secretively in the operation of organ harvesting. Some other staff in the hospital knew about this, but this is absolutely a taboo [to talk about]. They all are afraid of being killed or courting trouble, so they all avoid the issue. Only those highly trusted doctors could be chosen to be the surgeons for organ harvesting operations.

ET: Were Falun Gong practitioners alive when their organs were harvested? Did their families know about this?

Answer: Falun Gong practitioners who were imprisoned there came mostly from Dabei Prison, Masanjia Labor Camp, and other prisons in Shenyang, or they were Falun Gong practitioners arrested in parks or residential homes. Because they refused to denounce Falun Gong, they were arrested without formal warrants, and their families did not know their situation. Many did not even have their names [recorded]. In addition, since the Chinese authority exercises a policy of "not being responsible" for killing Falun Gong practitioners, the death of Falun Gong practitioners is not a very big issue for prisons. The Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Gong, [but] these medical personnel were told Falun Gong practitioners were facing death because they killed people, or they were sentenced to death because of crimes, or they had become insane from practicing Falun Gong.

Those Falun Gong practitioners whose organs were harvested came from several types.

Organs harvested from live bodies are worth far more than organs taken from dead bodies. Many Falun Gong practitioners were still alive when their organs were taken. After their organs were cut out, some of these people were thrown directly into the crematorium to be burnt, thus leaving no evidence. For some others, after their organs were stolen, the doctor sewed up the wound and asked the family or family representative to give a signature for cremation. Family members did not know at all that the dead had their organs taken out.

Furthermore, there were some healthy Falun Gong practitioners in prisons in other areas who were injected—without their knowledge—with psychoactive drugs that made their minds confused. They then were transferred to Sujiantun concentration camp to suffer further torture, till in the end their organs were harvested and their bodies were cremated in secret.

Among the Falun Gong practitioners whose organs were harvested, some were weak and some were healthy. Since most of them were illegally arrested, there were no arrest warrants or identification cards. After their organs were taken out while they were still alive, no one came to claim their bodies; or [sometimes] people using fake identities claimed their bodies.

None of these people have come out [of the concentration camp] alive; three-quarters of these 6,000 people have died, having their hearts, kidneys, retinas, and skins harvested and their bodies disposed of. I think now about 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners are still in this hospital, and I am afraid now that the authority will destroy all evidence and kill them.

Question: How did you know these things? Were you yourself a doctor involved in organ harvesting?

Answer: I worked at the Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, Shenyang. This is exactly where this concentration camp is located. One of my family members was involved in the operation to harvest Falun Gong practitioners' organs. This has brought great pain to our family.

Question: Please tell us what you knew about.

Answer: From 2001, our hospital started to detain Falun Gong practitioners. At the beginning, these people were detained in the single-storey houses in the back yard of the hospital. Later, the hospital authorities demolished the single-storey houses, and it was unknown where in the hospital the Falun Gong practitioners were transferred. Many staff of the hospital discussed in private that these Falun Gong practitioners had been secretly transferred to the underground chambers of the hospital. According to some people working inside the hospital, the hospital has a huge system of secret underground chambers.

At the time when we went to work there, the person in charge of logistics and purchasing in the hospital said that the quantity of disposable sterile gloves used for operations and daily supplies that the hospital authorities asked to be purchased had increased dramatically. The logistics people estimated based on the scale of purchases at that time that there were at least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners detained in this hospital.

These Falun Gong practitioners were not detained in the 4-story building under the in-patient department and administration at the front of the hospital, in order to keep the hospital staff from seeing them at all. We only occasionally saw Falun Gong practitioners being sent on a mobile intensive care bed to the first floor for physical examinations. These people were very weak. For the majority of the Falun Gong practitioners, nobody knew where they were being secretly kept. While they still did not know where these people were kept, some staff inquired to the hospital authorities about why so much food and so many sterile gloves and daily supplies were purchased. The hospital authorities said, "You only need to do your job well. There is no need for you to ask any other questions."

Starting in 2001, a family member of mine participated in organ-harvesting operations. My family member tried to keep me from knowing about this at the beginning. The hospital authorities selected doctors they trust in different aspects to perform the secretive operations. After a period of time, I found that my family member was in a lot pain, often had nightmares, and appeared panic-stricken. After repeated inquiries, this family member told me the truth. The leader of the hospital had asked my family member to participate in the organ harvesting operations on Falun Gong practitioners as early as 2001. It was 2003 when my family member confessed. A few years after, my family member felt so much pain from participating in this incident that it was impossible to continue with the evildoing. My family member decided to go abroad to get away from this matter.

My family member also told me: "you don't understand my suffering; those Falun Gong practitioners were alive. It might be easier for me if they were dead, but they were alive."

Question: Were there any other doctors from the hospital taking part in the operations of cutting out Falun Gong practitioners' organs?

Answer: I know there were some. All these things have been carried out secretly. Many doctors at our hospital involved were practicum doctors transferred from other hospitals. Because the government does not want to be responsible for Falun Gong practitioners' bodies and lives, their lives are treated as garbage by the regime, and their bodies were used in experiments by new doctors doing their practitcums.

Many doctors came and left the hospital because they suffered a lot after having been involved in these kinds of things. They either requested to be transferred to other places, or changed their names. Some might have been killed to eliminate the evidence, their identity files were taken out from the hospital's filing system, or their names were changed. Nobody knows where the doctors have gone.

The hospital staff all know that the rear part of the hospital is forbidden. It is always watched. The staff avoids talking about the place.

Question: It is said the hospital is equipped with an incinerator. The person whose organs were removed will be burned when he or she is still alive. Is that true?

Answer: The employees in our hospital call this place "the incinerator." Actually, it is a boiler room. Some poor farmers from nearby places were hired to work in the boiler room. They were penniless when they first came here. But they could scrape up some watches, finger rings, necklaces, and so on. The amount is not small. It is said by the employees in the hospital these jewelry and watches were collected from the Falun Gong practitioners whose organs had been removed when they were about to be thrown in the boiler to be burned. It is also said by the employees in the hospital, some were still alive when being thrown into the boiler.

Question: Do they get injection of anesthetic when in surgery?

Answer: Yes. There is a cap to the anesthetic quantity used in mainland China's hospitals. Generally, the supply of anesthetic was determined according to the accommodation of the hospital. To the public, the number of patients in our care appears to be very small, and publicly reported number of surgical procedures performed is quite low. But the equipment and articles used in surgery are abundant. Because the amount of anesthetic is limited, these secret surgeries could not use the normal anesthetic doses. In order to save anesthetic, they economized on the anesthetic used in surgeries on these Falun Gong practitioners. The amount of anesthetic used was very small. However, many whose organs were removed were still alive. You can imagine the pain suffered by the Falun Gong practitioners whose organs were removed.

Question: Are there any survivors among the 6,000 people detained since 2001?

Answer: Nobody has come out alive. The number of them gets smaller and smaller. The Falun Gong practitioners detained at Sujiatun are fewer now than before. But I believe that the sin of removing the organs of the Falun Gong practitioners is still continuing.

Question: Where are these organs usually sold to? Do the higher authorities in the government know about this?

Answer: They are mainly sold to Thailand, but I believe they are also sold to other regions of the world. Nowadays, there are many patients in China who need human skin, corneas, and kidneys for organ transplant surgeries. Many patients have to wait in line to purchase organs. Currently, a kidney can be sold up to the price of 30,000 to 100,000 U.S. dollars. The profit from selling organs is simply too great. The people who benefit from this are not only the top leaders of hospital and the officials of the Chinese Communist Party's Heath Department. This is a crime present across the entire nation. People ranging from government officials to doctors to organ sellers are all involved in this and are profiting greatly.

Question: Why did they target Falun Gong practitioners as the source of organs?

Answer: Because relatives of many Falun Gong practitioners don't even know that their family members were arrested. So if the Falun Gong practitioners are killed, there will be no one to come and claim their dead bodies.

Question: Why did you want to expose this? This may bring great danger to you.

Answer: I know that there are many Falun Gong practitioners who are currently detained at the hospital. I would like to expose this to the international community, so those who are not yet killed can be saved. Also, I would like to expose this as an atonement for my family.

I am not a Falun Gong practitioner. But as a former staff member of the hospital, I have the responsibility to expose the truth, and let the world to save those Falun Gong practitioners who are still alive. Organs of some Falun Gong practitioners are still living on patients' bodies. I would like to call on all society to pay attention to this issue and stop this shocking crime.

October Surprise

2004-10-26T01:50:34Z

A column from a fledgling web site dedicated to California news, politics, culture, and lifestyle. (www.battlecry-ca.com)

Best wishes,
Mike Forbes

The phrase "October Surprise" was invented on Oct. 2, 1980 by George H. Bush at a campaign appearance in Eugene, Ore. Mr. Bush warned that President Carter might engineer an event that would change the way the electorate viewed the national race because, "When you are a president, you have an ability to shape things to some degree.” 

Whether there will be an October Surprise in 2004 remains to be seen. We may even see a November 1st Surprise. Or a 2nd of November Surprise. Or we may see an October Surprise not engineered by the President. 

If an October Surprise were to occur, what manifestation is it likely to take? Might it be the announcement that Osama bin Laden has been captured? 

Earlier in the year, both left and right-wing ideologues claimed that the U.S. military already had Osama bin Laden on ice, ready to be produced. 

Putting that nonsense aside, what are the chances Osama will be taken between now and the election? 

The C.I.A. believes bin Laden is in a mountainous area north of the Pakistani city of Quetta. The region is populated with bin Laden supporters and the terrorist leader is estimated to have 50 bodyguards with him at all times. bin Laden and his men sleep in caves. The area is subject to snow storms sweeping 10,000ft-high mountains and buffeted by high winds. There are no roads and donkeys are the preferred mode of transport. 

This makes conventional assault- surrounding the area and methodically searching for the terrorist- impossible. The plan to capture bin Laden would depend on a swift, surgical operation. Special Forces troops in Afghanistan await intelligence about bin Laden’s location and the order to snatch him. 

Capturing bin Laden would seal the election for Bush. The only problem is no one in the U.S. military knows where to find The World’s Most Wanted Man. 

The U.S. hasn’t been able to locate bin Laden since 9/11. Let some simple, extremely unscientific numbers set the odds for bin Laden’s capture between now and the election- 160 weeks since the W.T.C. Bombings without useable intelligence : 1 week remaining before the election. 

The far more likely October Surprise is that Al Qaeda will employ the Madrid Strategy, so named for the March 11, 2004 commuter train bombings in Spain that killed 191 people, to turn voters against President Bush. 

The Madrid Strategy seeks to pick away at the coalition until it is reduced until only the U.S. remains. The bombings in Spain were clearly intended to coincide with that country’s election season. Al Qaeda’s hopes of turning middle-of-the-road voters against supporting U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq were realized. The terrorists, heartened by success in Spain, will try their best to strike where Americans will feel it most. 

Battle Cry doesn’t shy from making predictions and so far we’re 2-0, but we can’t employ that kind of a hot streak in an arena that deals with domestic terrorism. Instead, Battle Cry will set the odds. 

Odds on a domestic terrorist attack before Election Day… 1 : 1. 

And if terrorists succeed in killing Americans at home? 

Bush would be victorious. 

There is little doubt that the Bush Administration, though hamstrung by the lumbering nature of all bureaucracies, has done its best to protect Americans at home and no patriotic American could ever believe that an American leader of either party would allow an attack to occur for political gain. 

Americans aren’t appeasers. Blood on American soil would put even “safe” states like California back into contention.

Battle Cry

2004-10-23T01:39:02Z

We need writers and editors for our international section. I thought this would be a good way to find people who know what is happening overseas- especially Iraq.

Battle Cry (www.BattleCry-CA.com) is an electronic periodical dedicated to articulating, shaping, and promulgating the ideas that will secure liberty and prosperity for the inhabitants of California.

Battle Cry is a non-partisan news source that seeks to increase individual freedom and responsibility, protect the rights of property owners, bolster a marketplace that encourages business and the creation of wealth, improve education, manage our environment at the crossroad of sustainability and profitability, aid in the swift rendering of humane justice, and find solutions to the problems we hold in common with our neighbors in a manner that encourages peace and tolerance.

We give equal space to all qualified viewpoints. Our philosophy is built around respect. We are looking for intelligent activists and writers to join our team. Here is our code:
Working for Change First, Dollars Second
Our contributions to Battle Cry should be directed in the spirit of our mission statement: to articulate, shape, and promulgate ideas that will secure liberty and prosperity for California. Our goal is to make the world a better place. BattleCry-CA.com is run for profit, but compensation should not be our sole consideration. Ideally, we will look upon working for a better future as our foremost reason for contributing to BattleCry-CA.com. At Battle Cry we work for change first, dollars second. This mind-set will help BattleCry-CA.com survive until our company begins to generate revenue. Helping one’s community is a reward unto itself; the paycheck is gravy. (Compensation schedules are addressed below.) Remembering this attitude after the money begins to arrive will assure that we continue to affect positive change.
Employee Empowerment
People are Battle Cry’s most important resource and the key to our competitive advantages. We have experts writing in every topic. The way to sustain a high level of enthusiasm and personal satisfaction is to empower the individual. Our product is timely, interesting information that people trust and want. How editors and writers go about making that product is up to them.
Building networks of contacts and writers is an important task for all levels of Battle Cry personnel. The more people working with us the better our product will be, the faster our popularity will grow, the quicker we will turn a profit. We are our own best publicity department and our own best recruiters.
Editors have been told they should treat their subject categories as their own personal kingdoms. It is up to the editors which topics are reported. The editor of each bureau knows that subject best; they know what should be written.
Battle Cry’s only content stipulations, besides that articles be timely, interesting, and pertinent to California, are no advocating treason (violent overthrow of the United States government/giving comfort or aid to foreign enemies), no anonymous sources (all original writing citing opinions or containing quotes must have a name verifiable by a phone number), and no conspiracy theories (no proof means no publish).
However, editors are advised to keep the publisher and managing editor informed of their intended course of articles. Doing so will prevent repetition of subjects, conflicts with other editors, and the wasting of time on subjects that are of marginal interest. Occasionally a subject may straddle the lines between the boundaries of two subjects. The publisher will decide which editor and writer will offer Battle Cry’s position.
Respect for Diversity

Respect for the views of others is the concept that unifies Battle Cry into a team for change. Harnessing the thinking, ideas, and energy of a wide cross-section of people is the best strategy for us to find stories and information that no one else has yet. It is of paramount importance that we demonstrate trust and respect for the unique talents and perspective of each member of Battle Cry. Each person on our staff is an expert in their field. Please defer to their expertise or simply agree to disagree.
Professionalism
Everyone is expected to conduct themselves with professionalism when acting in their capacity as members of the Battle Cry staff. We must be seen by all who come in contact with us as sober, rational, and lucid.
Please take the time to use an endearment when writing email on behalf of Battle Cry. Please use the spell check and re-read what you have written when corresponding with writers or other companies. Please do not over-use capitals, engage in “flaming” email, over-punctuate (???), or use dem

Visit our site, take a look around, then contact us at managingeditor@battlecry-ca.com. Help change California for the better! Join our team today!

It’s a great day for California!

Why Shop At Sears?

2004-06-22T00:14:27Z

---

PLEASE CONSIDER THIS

When you are shopping for one or more items and those items are also being sold at SEARS,

PLEASE BUY THEM THERE!

By now, some may be asking,

WHY?

Because of the really GREAT way which SEARS is treating it's reservist employees who were called up to serve our country and our world!

(Even though some Americans and most of the world is too dumb to realize it.)

Under the law, they are only required to hold their jobs open & available, nothing more.
Usually, our reservists take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of their being called up...

While Sears is also voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.

I submit Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized by all of us for its contribution.

So when shop at Sears, find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.
