THE WOLF PACK

A wolf pack on the move : 

• the first 3 are the old or sick, they give the direction and pace to the entire pack. If it was the other way round, they would be left behind, losing contact with the pack. In case of an ambush they would be sacrificed; 

• then come 5 strong ones, the front line; 
• In the center are the rest of the pack members; 
• then the 5 strongest following. 
• Last is alone, the Alpha.

He controls everything from the rear. In that position he can see everything, decide the direction. He sees all of the pack. 

The pack moves according to the elders' pace and help each other, watch each other. 

Again I am left speechless by nature ... I knew that wolves are different, but didn't realize how much we could learn from them...

I didn't know wolves put the elders of the pack FIRST .... a lot of people on this planet should take note... they are to be seen up front, setting the pace and direction while enjoying the protection of the rest... and not invisible at the back of the line. "

PILOT RESPONDS TO MUSLIM DOCTOR'S COMPLAINT

A pilot's response to a Muslim doctor's complaint!

This articulates 'without racism' the feelings of the free world.

No name calling, no hatred, no political agenda.

CANADIAN, BRITISH & AUSTRALIAN COMMENTS APPEARS  AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE AND IS MEANINGFUL. THERE IS ALSO SOME RECENTLY ADDED BRITISH COMMENT.

This pilot hit the nail right on the head in his open letter.

A newspaper stated that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane. The following is a letter from a pilot.This well - spoken man, who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart, beautifully.

YOU WORRY ME!

By Captain John Maniscalco, American Airlines Pilot

I've been trying to say this since 911, but you worry me. I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.

I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.

On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others, hacking their necks, over and over, with box cutters. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings, killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.

The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't want to be consumed by the same rage, hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists.  But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.

How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim Americans and the Arab/Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter MORE of the same good neighbors and children?

The events of September 11 changed the answer.. It is not MY responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.

I want to know, I DEMAND to know and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America ..... Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation; that He will protect it and let it prosper? Or do you pray that Allah will destroy it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots, who have through our history, given their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America?? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.

Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions YOU are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America. Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent, because I worry about who you regard as innocent....No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks, because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more sympathy; I am interested only in action. What will you do for America - our great country - at this time of continuing crisis, at this time of war?

I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting 'Allah Bless America'. I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to our returning wounded and to this nation as a whole.

The FBI has had a long list of people they've wanted to interact with regarding the threats that they believe to be ongoing. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Give the FBI a heads up as to where they maybe. Better yet, hand them over to us, NOW! But I have seen

little even approaching this sort of action. Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared from the  streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals.

The very few Arab/Muslim representatives, like CARE, that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States apologize and take responsibility for actions defending our own people. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing 'leaders' like the late Khadafi, the late Hussein, Farrakhan, and the late Arafat.

If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good, pure, and  true, when your 'leaders' ARE teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance? It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world.

A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.

We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us -- our rights under the greatest constitution in the world. I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to DEMAND it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is protecting

you and your family.

I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American...... But there can be no grey areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance,  and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand. Until then, " YOU  WORRY ME!"

CANADIAN  COMMENTS:

I  totally agree with this sentiment. I hope you will forget all about the 'political correctness' mandate we've had rammed down our throats by so many on the left, and see if this doesn't ring true in your heart and mind. For Canada, with all the multiculturalism we've been told is so important....why should we not, as Canadians, expect that the millions of new people immigrating to our country will show their love for our country, their allegiance to our country, their willingness to obey the laws of our country, and acceptance that we are a Christian country? Just because they are able to enjoy exercising their own religion, they should NOT expect us to be ashamed of ours. They knew Canada was a Christian country when they came here. Why are we erasing Christianity because immigrants who are unwilling to adopt our way of life expect us to? There is just too much insanity

in the world, and we have to start taking a stand.

I hope you will forward this, so that others will feel they are not alone if they are starting to feel the same.

BRITISH COMMENTS:  At last a clear

non - racist  example of the concerns that the vast majority of our Nations population probably share. The pilot's letter encapsulates all that is fair and just about national pride and protection of one's national culture. I fear it may be too late here in UK, BUT we too want our country back in the form

that attracted all these different cultures to come here in the first place!! In all our conversations with a wide range of friends and acquaintances we have  not met one  that disagrees with our own views.  If only we all had the courage of our convictions to pass this on, it is a statement that should be accepted as the heart-felt feelings of someone with honest commendable national pride.

Not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists to date have been

Muslims. Stand up and be counted!

Australian Comment :   Best email I have had in years it needs to be in every paper every day until we get some answers. We need all be very concerned, note the pattern in Australia is the same for the other countries above. Where are the believers of Islam in our beloved  country standing up and being counted in all these issues?

I have not seen one!

THIS IS TOO GOOD TO JUST READ AND DELETE! LET'S SATURATE NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, UK, EUROPE, USA,

CANADA AND THE REST OF THE FREE WORLD WITH THIS ONE! SEND IT!

I say If you are not with us then stay in Your birth country!

DON'T MESS WITH OLD PEOPLE

A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food. She picked up three cans and took them to the check out counter.
The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat.  A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the management wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat."

The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store.  They sold her the cat food.

The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food.


Again, the cashier said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog."

So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food.

The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid.

The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there."

The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. 

So the cashier put her finger into the box and quickly pulled it out.

She said to the little old lady, "That smells like shit."


The little old lady said, "It is. I want to buy a roll of toilet paper.

Don't mess with old people!  

STRANGE CASE OF THE MISSING HOLISTIC DOCTORS

Forty doctors, in under a year, have inexplicably died.  Yet another doctor, Dr. Clogston, vanished on March 15th, was seen by a close friend five days later and then dead in his vehicle weeks later. Yet, this is not suspicious according to the police.

Dr. Curtis Clogstin co-authored a book on acupuncture and the medical director at a clinic in San Marcos, where they used holistic medical practices on the patients.

His wife and children reported his disappearance on March 15.  His flipped Mini Cooper was found almost 50 miles from San Marcos in Boerne, TX.  The family is hiring a private investigator as they must think the findings of the Kendal County, who don’t suspect foul play, suspicious. An autopsy has been requested.

One would think the media would at least find the great number of holistic doctor deaths, 40 in less than a year, worth looking into, yet crickets…

Health Nut News says that they held off on reporting Dr. Curtis Clogston’s death until now.

We sat on this story for awhile but finally realized that given the book on acupuncture that Dr. Clogstin co-authored and the fact that his LinkedIn profile states his San Marcos clinic, where he was the medical director, uses “innovative services including acupuncture and EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback)” as well as “functional testing (an integrative medical approach that aligns with many of the principles of Ayurvedicmedicine)”, it seemed that he, sadly, belonged with our group of holistic doctors who have tragically died, many of suspicious causes.

His wife of three years, Danica MacRae, knew something was wrong when his office said he hadn’t been in since Monday, the last day she spoke to him. That Monday, while on her way home from a trip to New Mexico, they spoke and he informed her that he’d had a case of food poisoning, and went home early that day.  He had allegedly been in the car, on his alleged USUAL route, for weeks.

We have asked the question before, “Who is killing all the doctors?”

First, we have the poisoning of dozens of doctors in Germany.  A new report has come forward from Germany where an entire group of 29 alternative and homeopathicpractitioners were poisoned with a synthetically-produced psychedelic drug while attending a conference.

June 19th – Dr. Bradstreet (well known for his work and research on Autism) found dead in a river with a gunshot wound to his chest in North Carolina. Self-inflicted?

June 21st – Dr. Hedendal and Dr. Holt found dead on the East coast of Florida. Dr. Hedendal died in his car and  Dr. Holt’s death has yet to be determined.

June 29th – Dr. Theresa Sievers found murdered in her home. Dr. Jeffrey Whiteside goes missing. Reports say he just “walked away.”

July 10th – Lisa Riley found in her home with a gunshot wound to her head.

July 19th – Dr. Ron Schwartz found murdered in his home on the East Coast of Florida.

July 21st – Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez died as a result of a cardiac related issue.

July 23rd – Dr. Jeffery Whiteside is found dead in Door County with a .22 caliber close to his body.

Although the timing and similarity of these deaths could be coincidental, authorities are not ruling out a possible link, particularly considering five of the eight were found in Florida. These doctors have left behind family, friends, and patients who trusted and respected them.

Dr. Block, the 13th dead doctor.  All the doctors who have died have had the FDA agents come into their practices prior to their to deaths two investigate their connection with a breakthrough cure for autism and cancer.

Dr. Venoitte becomes the fourteenth dead doctor.  “Her body, partially decomposed, was found just days ago and buried in a makeshift grave near a small dirt road on the south end of the island. Last seen on Sunday, Dec. 6., Dr. Veinotte, “left the house at 8 a.m., wearing green running shorts, a purple tank top and her Adidas, with the family dog, Nico, in tow.” She was to go for a jog around a well-known residential community, but instead residents later reported hearing tires belonging to a dark-colored SUV screech, and a loud thump. Their dog was discovered bleeding at the scene, but Dr. Veinotte was nowhere to be found.”

Dr. Han, the fifteenth dead doctor. The newest member of this murderous trend is Dr. Hahn, a respected and well-loved physician in Santa Barbara.  He had an “impressive background in both Chinese herbal medicine and in Western medicine. We have yet to verify if he too was working with GcMAF.    http://www.truthandaction.org/yet-another-holistic-doctor-found-dead/

It just gets better as you get older, doesn't it?

I was in a Starbucks Coffee recently when my stomach started rumbling
and I realized that I desperately needed to fart.  The place was
packed, but the music was really loud so to get relief and reduce
embarrassment I timed my farts to the beat of the music.  After a
couple of songs I started to feel much better.  I finished my coffee
and noticed that everyone was staring at me.  I  suddenly remembered
that I was listening to my Ipod (with ear piece) - and how was your
day?

 

(This is what happens when old people start using technology!)

Stop laughing and go ahead and forward this - (you know you want to)

FB DISCUSSION ON THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

==============================

Hillary now leads by more than 2 million popular votes. Let's get rid of or modify the EC and end the possibility of minority rule in the future.

It was a very close run thing in the swing states. I heard some people on the left actually discouraging turnout, and I heard that sentiment approved on NPR by the cofounder of BLM. Hope they are pleased.

2016 National Popular Vote Tracker

==============================

PaulineP Len sez: Modify the EC, but I don't want California & New York determining the outcome of all elections. I also don't think people who are here illegally should decide the electorate.

MarkJ Len, old friend, I have yet to see evidence that people are voting fraudulently, and I have seen overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I find your statement completely unfounded. People, not rocks and sticks and fields, should govern. If the EC WERE ever going to perform its original function of preventing a demagogue from taking office, now is the time. But it will not and should not do that. It serves no useful function.
 · 1 hr


PaulineP Len sez: Methinks you read something into my post I didn't mean... I said nothing about fraud. The EC is based on population... including ALL population. If illegals were not counted in the EC, CA would lose 4 votes. When you said modify the EC, I was giving you one example... some may like, some may not... but it is ONE modification that can be made. Please don't misread that I am in favor or opposed to this, just being the messenger. If the vote was based on population only... one person one vote (dead or alive), I think both candidates would have adjusted their campaign. The outcome would have been the same... Hillary voters would have stayed home... again. Blue collar dems would still crossover...

MarkJ They are counted in the census so you have a point. Your other point about turnout and the result being the same regardless seems to me to be quite dubious.

BradO It is called a republic for a reason. If you want go ahead and change it. See if you can convince 38 states that they should be ruled by three or four cities on the coast.

MarkJ I think it's unlikely to be changed, but there is a perhaps viable movement that involves states passing laws requiring their electors to vote according to the national popular vote. 
I'm not interested in having the democratic republic debate again ...

DeborahS The EC flies in the face of "one person -one vote". The practical effect is that a vote cast in CA is a fraction of a single vote - while a vote cast in Iowa is more than one vote.

MarkJ The clear trend is for population growth along both coasts, and as this trend continues the likelihood of this phenomenon repeating increases. It is no coincidence that it has now happened twice in 16 years. Based on these facts, I have a question for supporters of the EC: at what point does the rejection of the popular vote become so intolerable that you would agree that the EC has become grossly unfair and actually acutely destabilizing? 2 million, 5 million, 10 million? Never?
 · 35 mins


BradO At what point does the rejection of those who grow your food become so intolerable that they start selling their crops beyond our shores? Cities are not self sustaining.
 · 24 mins


MarkJ They already sell their products beyond our shores, to China in great quantities. Where agricultural products are sold is determined by the market. Your response is irrelevant, and you are clearly ignoring what is obviously an uncomfortable question for you.

BradO It is not uncomfortable. As a student of history and the constitution I understand that it is not a single race for president but 50 individual ones. That by competing in the race everyone agreed to the rules. Furthermore he may have only won 49% of the popular vote he won 100% of the presidency.

MarkJ I get that you don't want to answer the question. Nice talking to you. Have a swell day.

BradO Mark I am not playing your game of hypothetical questions. You know the rules, if you don't like the rules get them changed. Otherwise you just sound like a sore loser.

RobbieC The EC was conceived when their were 13 states and the population mostly rural. These days agriculture is corporate and those remaining in small towns and cities in interior states are the residual after the smartest and most mobile fled to the big cities (aka"bright flight"). The premise of the EC - that relatively homogeneous states would determine the presidency, no longer holds. Neither does its purpose, to prevent the unqualified from holding our highest office.
 · 3 mins


MarkJ Well that's one reason why they did it. They also found it impractical in that day and age to have a national popular election. The other reason was to protect slavery, and they succeeded admirably there as we can see from the predominance of slaveholding presidents in the early republic. And the problem was compounded after the Civil War when Republicans took such measures as dividing the Dakota territory to assure themselves of more electoral votes. 
It ought to go. It is clearly becoming untenable and as the trend accelerates, it will become destabilizing.
