Reinke Resurrection & Another Conflict

In keeping with a similar practice of alienating part of a city’s workforce while screwing the taxpayers, the tag-team duo of Moss-Reinke are at it again – this time in Naples.

Now they are fighting with the firefighters and running up more legal fees, just like on Marco where these two spent a small fortune on legal fees and  faux police investigations.

While these two characters were part of the Marco Island kakistocracy, the city violated the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act – the latter leading to the EPA fining the city. But instead of fixing the problem and protecting public safety, they clashed with the citizens, denigrating some of them, and obfuscated long enough so they can get away scot-free.

And of course who could forget the purported “investigation” by Reinke as to the “planting of asbestos” allegedly by septuagenarians at the behest of the liar Tucker (“I have pictures”) – an investigation despite the fact that right across the street to where the asbestos was found was where their contractor was crushing asbestos. The investigation was so pathetic that the U.S. Justice Department started its own investigation of the Reinke-led investigation.

(two documents of interest from the archives ...
Faux investigation report by City of Marco Island Police - geriatrics dump tons of asbestos … not
FDEP "police" report - offering assistance to City of Marco Island's faux investigation of dumping of asbestos by a couple of geriatrics - note it disputes Officer Guerrero's report
)

We all know where the Reinke “investigation” went – the EPA fine proving it was baseless.

So Naples, you are in for a treat with these two. Fasten your seat belts and get ready for the legal fees to mount.

Liars and Idiots are Everywhere

The ExxonMobil crude oil pipeline leaked near Mayflower, Arkansas on March 29, 2013. Public officials have not quarantined the area or warned the residents about the dangers because they believe there is no health issues. Residents reporting symptoms and seeking medical help are being discredited.

Similarly, the public "officials" on Marco Island not only refused to acknowledge a health risk when they were violating the Clean Water Act by pumping millions of gallons of effluent infused with lethal-levels of hydrogen sulfide onto lawns and into the Gulf of Mexico, but went as far as denigrating those that raised the alarm.

And if Mayflower and Marco Island didn't have more in common than liars and idiots as official pols, notice this quote issued yesterday by doctors and health authorities looking into the spill in Arkansas:

According to April Lane, levels of toxic chemicals released by the heavy crude spill are not being properly monitored, recorded or reported. "A lot of the released chemicals - benzene, hydrogen sulfide, toluene - are still extremely toxic, especially to children, the elderly and pregnant women, at very low levels," said Lane.

Let's see if April Lane gets sued for speaking the truth. Probably not, for Arkansas having been the home to the founding of the KKK in 1868, Collier County has a more sinister mob - the syndicate.

On Gun Control ...

Timothy McVeigh forever proved that it is not necessary to use guns or assault weapons to kill a large number of people if you are really intent upon doing so. As a matter of fact, he far outdid any shooter in that department and his poor victims were very diverse.

 

Politicians are not concerned for your lives or the lives of the children at Sandy Hook or Columbine. They fear for their own lives. They fear that the public could rise up and steal the power that they have been wielding recklessly for so long: the power to confiscate the wealth of the citizens and not just the rich.

 

An armed citizenship prevents the government from exercising the absolute power that it relentlessly seeks. This is why our founders gave us the second amendment. It had nothing to do with hunting or sport.

 

Misguided anti-gun activists need to educate themselves in regard to The Battle of Athens (sometimes called the McMinn County War): a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local government in August 1946. The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of political corruption and voter intimidation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Athens_(1946).

 

By John Putnam

 

-o-

editor's note: The very first official decree on January 1, 1959 was to confiscate all guns in the hands of the citizenry. When asked why, the leader of the new government said [¿armas, para que?] "Guns, for what?". That was Fidel Castro.

Financial WIndfall for Marco Island!

... returning from a month on Curacao and may have found a solution to Marco Island's financial and unemployment problems.  Curacao delared independence on 10/10/10 and the new government has been feverishly looking for ways to raise money now that The Netherlands will no longer pay their debts.  (Freedom comes at a price!)  Following my nose, I ferreted out their wastewater treatment plant and learned that they offer tours of the facility.  If Marco Island followed their lead, you'd have a new source of revenue to pay for the damned thing and could reduce unemployment by offering Rony Joel a job as Tour Director.  (He seems to like the title "Director" and should know something about processing feces into potable water.)

Marco "Newspapers" and the Joel Sham Lawsuit

When Arnon (aka Rony) Joel filed his sham "liar" lawsuit over 18 months ago, a Marco Island alleged "newspaper" sent out a "reporter" to cover the story by interviewing the defendant - this online newspaper.

What was odd about said interview was not that the reportette was clueless about the illegal asbestos crushing and illegal asbestos burying and about the City of Marco Island lying to the EPA and about the City of Marco Island pumping millions of gallons of toxic effluent into the Gulf of Mexico and the fact that the Florida Department of "Environmental" Protection was a willing accomplice in all of this, but what was odd was that the reportette had the lawsuit before it was even certified for service to this newspaper.

Oddities being of interest to a real newspaper, she was asked "How did you find out about the lawsuit even before being served?" to wit she replied "Oh, we routinely monitor the Collier court cases and their status regarding Marco Island."

Really?

So, has the same newspaper been monitoring the Collier court cases and their status? Has any "newspaper"?

Of course not.

Here is why ... as best described by an Israeli newspaper (a real one, actually) reporting on a similar situation where "newspapers" are but stooges of the government (or in the case of Marco Island, the syndicate):

The phenomenon of journalists volunteering to censor information at the authorities' request is patently undemocratic. 

Does this not indicate a basic failure in the law enforcement system? Sweeping everything into a deep and even draconian secrecy, has no place in democratic regimes. 

Censorship becomes a pathetic attempt to turn back the clock to a time before WikiLeaks, Facebook and Twitter, and before bloggers who don't give two hoots about the censor.

Syndicate Accomplice Forced to Resign

Lisa Jackson, Director of the Environmental Protection Agency has (finally) resigned. She will leave the EPA after the forthcoming State of the Union address.

The official reason is to spend more time with her family. But the actual reason is that in the next few weeks a lawyer that sued the EPA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is to release emails proving Director Jackson was an accomplice in yet another scam on the American people.

The agency did not offer an explanation. But Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said the scrutiny over the alias emails is clearly a factor.  "Life's full of coincidences, but this is too many. She had no choice." 

Horner and CEI earlier this year had sued the EPA for documents pertaining to Jackson's use of alias email accounts. She was said to operate under the name "Richard Windsor" -- the use of those accounts has since drawn the scrutiny of Republican members of Congress, as well as triggered an audit by the EPA inspector general. 

According to court documents, the EPA -- represented by the Justice Department -- two weeks ago agreed to release as many as 12,000 emails pertaining to the CEI request beginning by Jan. 14, at a rate of 3,000 documents per month. The court accepted the schedule last week.
Source: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/27/attorney-claims-epa-chief-resigned-over-alias-email-accounts/

As to Marco Island and its metastasized syndicate, Director Jackson was named in another FOIA lawsuit when the City of Marco Island committed environmental crimes by violating the Clean Water Act (pumping toxic effluent into Gulf of Mexico) and the Clean Air Act (crushing and burying asbestos). In this case the EPA under Director Jackson obfuscated long enough for the crimes to be things of the past – you know, long enough so the city councilors and the city manager and the city public works director and the bizarrely named “environmental specialist” could sound believable when they repeated ad nausea “I don’t recall.” And it wasn’t until the EPA agreed to settle the case as it was moving to trial in federal court that the EPA released the documents proving that the crimes were in fact committed by the City of Marco Island.

In the case Sanchez vs. EPA, the U.S. Attorney defending the EPA, as well as EPA attorneys, admitted that Director Jackson had in fact received approximately twenty (20) faxes alerting her that the City of Marco Island was contaminating the air and polluting the water – both acts causing harm to people. Yet Director Jackson refused to engage the EPA to stop the crimes. Ergo she became an accomplice.

The Marco Island city councilors boasted of their chummy good ol’ boy relationship with then-Governor Crist. The very same city councilors often spewed in public how Crist would do “whatever it takes” to ensure that the city installed sewer lines – now obviously even if it harmed people and the environment. How can we forget how the de novus democrat Crist fawned and groveled over friend-of-Jackson Obama. We also now know that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) repeatedly looked the other way when asbestos was flying and hydrogen sulfide was poisoning the water and sickening people. And how can we forget how they had the Collier County judges make questionable rulings against the citizenry and environment. 

As Mr. Horner just stated, “Life's full of coincidences, but this is too many.”

The incestuous nature of corrupt politics takes time to be exposed albeit with insufficient retribution for the harm to the citizens and to environment.

Didn't the Syndicate Tell us Sewers Are Better?

This from the EPA - December 10, 2012  ...

Keeping Raw Sewage and Contaminated Stormwater Out of Our Nation's Waters

Boom captures litter and other debris carried by stormwater

Problem

Raw sewage overflows and inadequately controlled stormwater discharges from municipal sewer systems introduce a variety of harmful pollutants, including disease causing organisms, metals and nutrients that threaten our communities' water quality and can contribute to disease outbreaks, beach and shellfish bed closings, flooding, stream scouring, fishing advisories and basement backups of sewage.

EPA is taking enforcement action at municipal sewer systems with Clean Water Act violations to reduce pollution and volume of stormwater runoff and to reduce unlawful discharges of raw sewage that degrade water quality in communities.

Goal

EPA will take action to reduce raw sewage overflows and storm water discharges from municipal sewer systems that pose a significant threat to water quality and public health.

Dr. Guidry in Jail …

Dr. Andrew Guidry is in jail because:

• He lied about having pictures of octogenarians planting asbestos,
• He lied about having a permit to discharge toxic effluent into the Gulf of Mexico,
• He oversaw the pumping of toxic effluent into the Gulf of Mexico in violation of the Clean Water Act,
• He lied about asbestos being crushed on Marco Island,
• He oversaw the crushing and burying of asbestos on Marco Island in violation of the Clean Air Act,
• He lied about a cistern costing $5,000 to install (when the actual cost is $400),
• He conducted a fraudulent investigation as to whom was crushing asbestos so as to buy time,
• He lied about proving reclaimed water to all houses on the island,
• He was instrumental in having the city go into $400million debt from having to install a sewer system to benefit the condos, hotels and businesses,
• He oversaw the deep-injection that sends “treated” water seep into the Gulf of Mexico and cause Red Tide which is a health hazard.

Wait … hang on … oops, sorry, all of these nefarious deeds were committed by others that are NOT in jail …

As Bob Dylan wrote … “Where justice is a game, now all the criminals in their coats and their ties, are free to drink martinis and watch the sunrise.”

EPA Recommends New Recreational Water Quality Criteria to Better Protect Public Health
WASHINGTON -- Pursuant to an order from a U.S. District Court and as required by the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today recommended new recreational water quality criteria for states that will help protect peoples’ health during visits to beaches and waters year round. The science-based criteria provide information to help states improve public health protection by addressing a broader range of illness symptoms, better accounting for pollution after heavy rainfall, providing more protective recommendations for coastal waters, encouraging early alerts to beachgoers and promoting rapid water testing. The criteria released today do not impose any new requirements; instead, they are a tool that states can choose to use in setting their own standards.

The criteria provide states and communities with the most up to date science and information that they can use to determine whether water quality is safe for the public and when to issue an advisory or a beach closure. EPA has provided a variety of other tools to help states evaluate and manage recreational waters.

The new criteria are based on several recent health studies and use a broader definition of illness to recognize that symptoms may occur without a fever, including a number of stomach ailments. EPA also narrowed from 90 days to 30 days the time period over which the results of monitoring samples may be averaged. This produces a more accurate picture of the water quality for that given time, allowing for improved notification time about water quality to the public. This shortened time period especially accounts for heavy rainfall that can wash pollution into rivers, lakes or the ocean or cause sewer overflows. 

As Predicted Here on the Marco Island Blog ...

As this blog correctly predicted nine months ago on February 18, 2012, President Obama was reelected.

(See http://marcoislandblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/reelecting-worst.html#links).

And on Marco Island, one syndicate operative was able to sneak onto the city council despite a flushing (as into the sewer) of his incumbent cohorts.


With a near-unanimous expulsion of the syndicate from the city council, there may be hope for Marco Island yet. Same cannot be said for the nation.

Reelecting Barack was in the cards long ago. It was obvious to those that cared to look, to those that were not understandably blinded by the hope that the deleterious transformation of America from something like a democracy to corporate and freeloaders’ socialism would be reversed.

The republicans and their candidates, their machines and the talking heads on Fox News all focused on exposing countless lies, the harm and death brought upon the people, the denigration of a certain class of citizens, the debt and spending that is nothing short of criminal.

Did it ever occur to any of these geniuses that the now-proven majority want to be lied to, could care less if an ambassador was allowed to be murdered, funneling hundreds of billions of dollars to their cronies, relish vilifying the “rich”, and are happy as clams passing the financial-debacle down to the next generations?

It never occurred to them that when democratic institutions become prostituted by chum capitalism, by special interests, by lobbyist usurping the responsibility of a congress, then lying and stealing and cheating and harming people matters not. Daily talk-radio and Fox News detailed the lies and the harm and shams and the debt and how the Constitution is routinely violated. As if any of it mattered to the majority.

The republicans and their candidates, their machines and the talking heads on Fox News espoused the proven benefits of free-market capitalism, that staid “invisible hand” of Adam Smith. But they failed to realize that all they were doing was fueling the visceral hatred of the republican and their candidate because even the uneducated K-14 graduates know that what we have is anything but a Dr. Milton Friedman system of capitalism – we have a syphilitic brothel of corporate whores and their John’s in congress. At least the democrats who are just as much sluts are smart enough to not claim that what exists today is a free-market or capitalism.

The republicans and their allies on talk radio and on Fox News were suckered in so many ways that they never bothered to espouse the means by which fixing the problems could be relegated to the people. In fact, they unwittingly went out or of their way to push votes to their enemies. In but one example, has anyone ever bothered to hear how conservative talk radio and Fox News referred to the “Hispanic Vote?” Such drove the “Hispanic Vote” – whatever that is other than a hoary racial trope – to the democrats. (How many “Hispanics” does it take to reelect a socialist despite “Hispanics” abhorring socialism? The answer is: How many “Hispanics” are on conservative talk radio and how many “Hispanics” are on Fox News’ main cable channel at any time slot?)

Add to this stupidity the emasculation of the K-14 “educational” system, and thanks to the systematic replacement of teachers with “educators”, and thanks to the school administrators that continually instill trendy social practices into the classroom at the expense of teaching math, we have raised a generation that the overwhelming majority expect to be cared for by the government. Their incentive to learn has been negated by the expectation that all they need will be provided. They expect their education, birth control, cell phones, community volunteering (now an “educational” requirement), health care and future will be given to them by the government and paid for by “others.” They are correct in expecting all of these wonderful things from a benevolent government that gives everything for after all that’s what they are taught and is all that they have come to know. Hence, detailing the serious problems this nation is facing was irrelevant.

The main campaign slogan of Barack was “Forward.” Erie how nearly identical it is to Fidel Castro’s phrase, repeated ad nausea for the last fifty-plus years: “¡Somos socialistas, para adelante y para adelante!” … “We are socialist, forward and forward!”

In all, an easy prediction that the Manchurian Candidate, that the “huckster” as Dennis Miller aptly described, was reelected.

Remembering a Marco Island Hero

Which person of integrity cannot forget how our friend and hero Robert Glaub was despicably treated by the syndicate when he was removed from the podium at a city council meeting for exercising his First Amendment right.

Well, there is another corrupt city in America that is following the dishonest trend of the City Council of Marco Island ... its appears that when We The People speak against municipal corruption, malfeasance and syndicates throughout America, we get sued or escorted by the police out of a council meeting ...

RIVERSIDE (CBSLA.com) — A Riverside woman is facing misdemeanor charges following her arrest for speaking too long at a Riverside City Council meeting, the Riverside Press-Enterprisereported Thursday.
Karen Wright, whose arrest was videotaped and obtained by the paper, was cited for disrupting a public meeting Tuesday night.
“The incident unfolded after Wright exceeded her allotted three minutes to speak at the lectern while commenting on a sludge hauling contract,” the paper reported.
Wright, 60, was initially handcuffed by two officers while she was on her knees.
In video of the incident, Wright can be heard yelling in pain as officers tried to bring her to her feet.
“Can you see my wrists? You’re pulling and jerking on my wrists!” she said. “I cannot get up without putting my hands down!”
Wright was later led out of the building.
“City officials said officers used their discretion when Wright didn’t follow the rules,” according to the Press-Enterprise. Council members deny ordering her arrest.
An unidentified meeting spectator can also be heard in the background of the video: “Are you guys kidding me? . . . Stop!”
Another person can be heard saying, “This is your legacy, Mayor. Your legacy.”
Wright was given a citation with a date to appear in court.
Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge, who has been presiding over the City Council for 32, said the incident was the first time he had seen anyone arrested during one of their meetings. He said that police will no longer be able to arrest speakers unless the council chairman — which is the mayor — directs them to do so.
City Council meetings are typically recorded and the video posted on the city website, but Tuesday’s incident was not caught on camera; that’s because Loveridge called a recess when police intervened and the video camera is typically turned off during council recesses.

Another Syndicate Wins Noble Peace Prize

In keeping with the sheer senselessness exhibited by the Noble Peace Prize Committee that prostituted Alfred Noble’s vision of the award by “giving” the once esteemed prize to people and entities that do everything but promote peace and fight for peace and risk everything for peace and even are tortured for the sake of peace we are once again asked and arguably forced to succumb to yet another dumbing of our senses most notable of which is our intellectual acumen by the befalling of awarding this year’s Noble Peace Prize upon on a bureaucratic power-hungry oligopolistic-kakistocracy shill for mega banks and big business that has done more to harm the people that are within its expanse than the wars in that very same area has experienced for quite some  time.

So the European Union – that has a war machine deployed (a war machine gets the Peace Prize?) and has ensured the destitution of millions of its own citizens – hey, just like the syndicate on Marco Island! – gets recognized for being as peaceful. Yes, an award now with no value other than the comic relief afforded, akin to the syndicate and its operatives on Marco Island receiving the citizen of the year award or some other vacuous recognition by the local non-newspapers.

What a farce this once legendary and prestigious award has become –just like what Marco Island has become despite having been not too long ago a great and fiscally sound place.

With the Peace Prize having been awarded to another fraud Al Gore – despite a plethora of other people nominated that actually did something for peace – as opposed to promote environmentalism with fraudulent data so they can exploit fear and hence directly profit (hey, just like the Marco Island syndicate and “there be fecal in them there waterways!”) the Noble Prize is but a joke.

With the Peace Prize having been awarded to another fraud Barrack Hussein Obama – despite a plethora of other people nominated that actually did something for peace – as opposed saddle generations with debt (hey, just like the Marco Island syndicate and the $400million+ unnecessary sewer system) the Noble Prize is but a joke.

Below is but one of the many world-wide condemnations of this year’s award. Simply replace “European Union” (“EU”) with “Marco Island Syndicate” and you will see that it’s all one and the same.

-o-o-(source: RT News).

First the EU, next Frankenstein? Nobel Committee’s decision ‘farcical’ – RT’s Max Keiser

The Nobel Committee had a more legitimate choice for its Peace Prize in “Bill Clinton’s left testicle” than the EU, RT’s Max Kaiser said. Kaiser slammed the award as honoring a technocracy that impoverishes its citizens to feed monstrous banks.

RT:The EU has won for its role in uniting the continent – but at a time of rising separatism and the economy in a slump, how do you explain that?

Max Keiser: This is the rise of the machine. This is a machine selection that chose a machine. The EU is a technocracy governed by machines, joined with the banking establishment to suck wealth from the citizens of the EU and send it to Brussells and the banksters and sent it to the World Bank and the EU and the Troika. This is the rise of the machines, it’s farcical. They could’ve given the prize to Bill Clinton’s left testicle and it would have been more legitimate than giving it to a technocratic monstrosity. 

This is like giving the prize to Frankenstein for being the best monster created during the past 12 months. Where do they go from here? Who are they going to give it to next? They are going to give it to a genetically modified seed in India where farmers are killing themselves by the thousands because of companies like Monsanto. Give it to Monsanto next year, Nobel Committee! I mean your track record for giving this prize to warmongers, banksters and corporate fascists is becoming quite impressive.

RT: Will this award give any kind of economic boost to the Union and help it out of the pit it’s in?

MK: No, absolutely not. They want to create a new super-bank take power from the ECB, run it out of Brussels and impose a new debt-for-junk scheme, rolling up all the toxic debt into a new super European Central Bank to impose more austerity and pilfer more money from the citizens. The direction this is going is absolutely catastrophic. Christine Lagarde, I’m sure she’ll get the Nobel Prize next year for having caused another 100 million people to go into poverty and another few hundred people to commit suicide. Let’s give it to Christine Lagarde, she’s a warmongering genocidal maniac, give her the Peace Prize!

RT: How do we balance the Peace Prize with the EU's interventions in Libya, EU members on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan and its support for the armed opposition in Syria?

MK: There is only one contender for the Peace Prize this year and it is Julian Assange. The fact that he did not win this prize will be an eternal stain on the Nobel Committee. No one has done more to push peace than Julian Assange, he should be getting the award from this committee. The fact that they’ve turned to a bunch of machines and technocrats in the EU is an embarrassment. They should go back to making dynamite, which is how the Nobel Prize Committee got started. Go back to making dynamite and forget about this Peace Prize. You’re illegitimate, you’ve embarrassed yourselves, just fold. Commit suicide for a change, instead of encouraging people in Greece to commit suicide!

No Surprise to Some on Marco Island: EPA Harms People

Not counting the idiotic hubris by the syndicate operatives - like the one buffoon that offered to eat or inhale or inject the dirt and prove that there was no asbestos, every sentient person knew that the asbestos being crushed on Marco Island was and will harm people.

The EPA was notified early on that there was illegal asbestos crushing on the island - as proven by the documents produced because of the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The EPA refused to intervene and thereby refused to protect the health of the public. The EPA mistakenly believed that the complicit Florida Department of Environmental Protection would stop the harmful process. When the FDEP showed that they were in on the gig, the EPA finally stepped in. Too late.

Same story with the gassing of entire neighborhoods when the City of Marco Island violated the Clean Water Act.

Over 900 people sought medical attention as entire neighborhoods were succumbed to toxic levels of hydrogen sulfide gas. The EPA was well aware of the illegal practice (as was the FDEP who did nothing more but to write a letter) but chose to rely on the City spin not least of which was from the ever-absent "environmental specialist."

So now it is no surprise that the EPA has been found to have intentionally and directly harmed people. Based on another Freedom of Information Act demand, documents show that the EPA uses humans as guineas pigs.

Marco Island has been joined in infamy by this gruesome story of being EPA victims.

Enjoy.

EPA admits to Court: Human subjects ‘may die’ from air pollution experiments

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Steve Milloy | 21 Comments

EPA has admitted to a federal court that it asks human guinea pigs to sacrifice their lives for regulatory purposes — and $12 per hour.
EPA has responded to our emergency motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) against its ongoing human experiment (called “CAPTAIN”) involving the air pollutant known as PM_2.5.
In the declaration of Martin W. Case, the EPA clinical research studies coordinator for CAPTAIN, Case claims he verbally warns study subjects before the experiment as follows:

… My first approach after being introduced to the subject by the medical station staff is to ask the subject if they have read the consent form. The subjects for CAPTAIN have been given the informed study consent form on a previous visit, and, they are also given the same consent to read again if they have not read the consent the day of the training…
I provide participants with information about fine particles (PM2.s). I say that PM2.s are particles so small that they are able past through your airways and go deep into your lungs, these particles are so small that your usual lining and cilia of your airways are not able to prevent these particles from passing into your lungs, Therefore, if you are a person that for example lives in a large city like Los Angeles or New York, and it’s been a very hot day, and you can see the haze in the air, and you happen to be someone that works outside, and if you have an underlying unknown health condition, or, you may be older in age; the chances are that you could end up in the emergency room later on that night, wondering what’s wrong, possibly having cardiac changes that could lead to a heart attack; there is the possibility you may die from this…

Here’s the analysis of Case’s remarkable admission — that is, if we can even rely on Case’s declaration:

1. Prohibition on human sacrifice. Every law, regulation and code developed since World War II strictly prohibits human sacrifice (i.e.,significant injury or death) for no health benefit to the patient (the wage of $12 per hour does not count as a “benefit”). EPA employee Case explicitly admits in this declaration that short-term exposure to PM_2.5can be lethal.And though Case attempts to distance this warning from the experiment by explaining the risk in terms of a person living “in a large city like Los Angeles or New York”, EPA states in its IRB application for approval of CAPTAIN, “The particle burden, on a mass basis presented to the volunteer will not exceed an exposure an individual receives over a 24 hour period while visiting a typical urban center in America on a smoggy day.” Moreover, EPA has repeatedly stated in numerous regulatory documents and public statements that there is no safe level of exposure to PM_2.5 and that any exposure to PM_2.5 can kill within hours or days.
2. Failure to obtain substantive informed consent. Despite Case’s admission that experimental exposure to PM_2.5 may cause death, according to the EPA-provided consent form given to study subjects, the risks of experimental exposure to PM_2.5 are only as follows:
   

   PM exposure: During the exposure to the concentrated air pollution particles, you may experience some minor degree of airway irritation, cough, and shortness of breath or wheezing. These symptoms typically disappear 2 to 4 hours after exposure, but may last longer for particularly sensitive people. You will be monitored continuously during the exposure session through a window in the chamber or by closed-circuit television, and can communicate with a staff member via an intercom. Your heart rate and rhythm will also be constantly monitored for any adverse changes brought about by the exposure. In the unlikely event that you develop medically significant symptoms, the exposure will be terminated and the appropriate medical intervention will be provided if required. A physician is always available on the premises to respond to an emergency and full resuscitation equipment is available for use in the event of a cardiac or pulmonary emergency.
   Air pollution particles may induce an inflammatory reaction that can last for 24 hours after exposure and may increase the chance of you catching a cold. You should not engage in heavy levels of exercise for 24 hours before and after the exposure period. If you have any tendency to become uncomfortable in small closed spaces, it is possible that you may become uncomfortable during the chamber exposure. Although the chamber is somewhat small, it has multiple windows and you will be in constant visual contact with the investigator who will be monitoring you during the exposure. You also will be able to verbally communicate with the investigator via a microphone headset.

   So in the place in the consent form where EPA is legally required to disclose to study subjects all the risks the experiment entails, EPA omits death, as well as all the dangers it mentioned to the institutional review board in the IRB application, including:
   

   Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between acute and chronic exposure to ambient levels of particulate matter (PM) and various adverse cardiopulmonary effects including mortality, respiratory tract infection, exacerbation of asthma, chronic bronchitis, ischemic heart disease, and stroke (see review, (1)). A recent national scale epidemiological study has shown that short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with increased rates of hospital admission for cardiovascular and respiratory symptoms. The cardiovascular risk tended to be higher in the Eastern United States. This study also indicated a disproportionate risk among the elderly who are exposed to PM (2). Dietary factors such as intake of omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to human susceptibility to the adverse effects of ambient PM (14).Although air pollution exposure has long been known to be a risk factor for respiratory disease, over the last decade, a growing body of epidemiological studies has heightened concern over elevated rates of cardiovascular events related to both short-term and long-term exposure to PM (3). The risk of death from cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, heart failure, and fatal arrhythmias) in response to chronically high levels of air pollution was much greater than that from lung disease (4-6). Short-term elevations in ambient PM levels are capable of evoking cardiac arrhythmias, worsening heart failure, and triggering acute atherosclerotic/ischemic cardiovascular complications, particularly in certain at-risk subsets of population (3). PM exposure can result in increases in heart rate, and decreases in heart rate variability (HRV; defined as changes in mean heart rate during 24 hrs, which is a reflection of autonomic tone on the heart (7). PM has been associated with transient increases in plasma viscosity (8), endothelial dysfunction (9) and acute-phase reactants (10, 11) such as C-reactive protein (12). Animal studies have suggested that long-term exposure to low concentration of PM altered vasomotor tone, induces vascular inflammation and potentiates atherosclerosis (13). Despite a decade of intensive studies, much about the PM health effects problem, especially the cardiovascular effect, is still not well understood. The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that genetic expression of the Phase II metabolizing enzyme GSTM1 alters the outcome of adverse responses
   to PM exposure.

3. Failure to provide/obtain written consent. The Common Rule, as codified in federal regulation 40 CFR 26.117, specifically requires that written informed consent be obtained when risk of serious injury or death is involved in an experiment. As the consent form provided by EPA makes no mention of the risk of death, written consent acknowledging that they are willing sacrifice themselves for EPA regulatory purposes is not obtained.

Rebuttal to John Arceri

by Frances Enman

How interesting, the shenanigans were of the then 2000 Marco City Council, to purchase the Florida Water Services (FWS).

Seems back then Mr. Arceri became the definer and arbiter of the words misinformation and negative tactics.  People who did not agree with him were labeled negative or misinformed.  In my opinion, he is the king of subterfuge and negativism.  Many of us back then will not forget how the (FWS) utility was purchased.

Today, we all pay and pay for this utility that is running the city into debt.  The Marco City Council then as well as today needs to be changed.  We, the resident taxpayers, need our say and the vote (referendums) on all large bond issues.

This is why we need to replace the incumbent councilors with Larry Sacher, Amadeo Petricca and Ken Honecker.  These three men have the experience to represent the homeowners, condo owners and business owners.

Waste the Federal (Your) Money Right Here in Collier County

The federal government has granted $20,000,000 to the government of the Philippines to improve the Philippino justice system.

The program is titled JUSTICE - Judicial Strengthening to Improve Court Effectiveness - the purported purpose of which is to improve confidence in the Philippines through "... efficient and predicable adjudication of court cases, particularly those involving corruption ..."

Now, seriously, given the level of corruption and municipal malfeasance that has been sanctioned by the Collier County legal system over the years, don't you think that same $20,000,000 could be spent for the same purpose in Collier so as to benefit those that actually forked over the $20,000,000?

Here is the entire notice. Enjoy.

Funding Opportunity Description:	The Judicial Strengthening to Improve Court Effectiveness (JUSTICE) Project will incorporate and work toward several Rule of Law objectives that have been agreed by the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the United States Government (USG) in the Joint Action Plan of the Partnership for Growth (PFG). The project will contribute to the goal of the PFG to shift the Philippines from a low growth path to a higher, sustained and more inclusive growth on par with other high-performing emerging economies. The project will help decrease the cost of doing business and increase investor confidence in the Philippines through the more efficient and predictable adjudication of court cases, particularly those involving corruption, commercial disputes, intellectual property rights violations and contract enforcement. A large portion of project resources will address the need to improve judicial efficiency, particularly: (a) reducing docket congestion, and (b) reducing court delays. USAID has supported programs that have worked successfully toward this end with pilot Philippine courts over the past several years. Through this project, USAID seeks to support greatly expanded coverage of such tested judicial efficiency improvements. In addition, USAID seeks to support related components that address the Rule of Law objectives of (c) strengthening Contract Enforcement, (d) strengthening the enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights, and (e) supporting integrity and confidence-building measures for the justice system.

Marco Island at War with Citizen ... Again

Following the tradition of denigrating, insulting, ignoring, lying, forcefully removing from the podium, and of course suing any citizen that dares tell the truth or give an opinion contrary to the syndicate, the City of Marco Island once again is at war with one of its citizens.

While city councilors drink and play golf, don't pay their taxes or their mortgage, hire public works directors that were fired - in other words, the city councilors doing important stuff - the city is spending YOUR MONEY on covering up yet another scandal.

This time the good citizens, the Dayton's, had to get an attorney, and are now chasing justice in Collier County. Just like chasing peace in the Middle East.

Public Records Lawsuit

Public Records Complaint

Airborne Asbestos Detected on Marco Island

Contrary to the "story" we were fed when the asbestos was being buried and/or being hauled away on Marco Island, airborne asbestos WAS being detected.

In fact it was being detected at varying levels over a 4 month period.

CLICK THIS LINK FOR EPA AIRBORNE ASBESTOS REPORTS for just released air monitoring reports from the EPA.

Consider that inhaling asbestos fibers even in minuscule amounts has long term consequences.

Call upon City Council to Meet Obama-EPA Guidelines

As a form of restitution and redress for raping the environment near and in Marco Island, we call upon the Marco Island City Council to reconsider the Horse-Drawn Carriage form of transportation on the island.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Obama Administration Finalizes Historic 54.5 mpg Fuel Efficiency Standards EPA Announces

 Consumer Savings Comparable to Lowering Price of Gasoline by $1 Per Gallon by 2025

In fact, we urge that all fossil-consuming modes of transportation be either replaced with horses/mules/donkeys/alpacas/camels/llamas or meet the new Obama-EPA guidelines for the near future.

Horse-drawn transportation will assuredly meet if not improve on the de novo REQUIREMENT that transportation vehicles meet a fuel efficiency rating of 54.5MPG.

There is a precedence for such a move on Marco Island.

As the syndicate wants us to forget, the City Council continually asserted that Charlie Crist wanted the STRP to be implemented "at all cost." Though we now know that such an assertion was one of so many lies we were fed, we do know that Charlie has just endorsed Barrack, ipso facto the City must now tow the line of their own beloved regime.

Cuba Takes Up Marco Island Horse-Draw Carriage Idea

The city of La Habana (Havana for the culturally challenged) Cuba has just authorized its first syndicate of horse-drawn carriages.

Since the people of Cuba can't afford to eat, naturally this new service is for the tourists - invariably the Americans that by the millions illegally travel to the imprisoned island with the ruse of "vacationing" (translation: prop up a murderous socialist-marxist ruling elite).

Who is to say that the morons that run that God-forsaken beautiful city did not get their idea from the morons that run Marco Island when the latter refused to allow the same service. But if you notice, the syndicate in La Habana is involved in the business, unlike on Marco Island where the syndicate was NOT involved in the business.

If the syndicate had a piece of the horse-drawn business on Marco Island, rest assured that there would be horses already defecating and urinating and flatulenting to their hearts' content all over the streets and swales and lawns (wow - just like the poisoned dewatering!) which would have precipitated yet another fraudulent $400Million sewer project to ensure that said feces and urine be captured.

Perhaps the entire Marco Island City Council would like to travel to Cuba to get a first-hand look at the business in the hope that they 1)reconsider, 2)go there wearing anti-Castro T-shirts.

Ps. We know the difference between syndicato and syndicate - we just enjoy exploiting the literally license the similarity in words affords us.

Arnon "Rony" Joel Desposition Revealed

In the case CARES vs. City of Marco Island, Arnon "Rony" Joel & Bill Moss, the defendant Joel was deposed.

After years of wrangling, we were finally able to obtain this video from the lawyers that defended the defendants - at taxpayers' expense of course.

The deposition of defendant Joel was never released and the City of Marco Island through its attorneys fought to keep this deposition hidden from public scrutiny - especially as the debate on the validity and efficacy and truth of the failed sewer project were being debated. As one watches the deposition of defendant Joel one can see/hear why the syndicate fought hard to keep it hidden.

The first few seconds are silent/blank. Enjoy.
