Tuesday's letters: Medicare plans

To the editor: The letter in the Oct. 29 paper authored by a geriatric care manager in Asheville includes factually incorrect statements.
The official U.S. government website for Medicare information (www.medicare.gov) describes Medicare Advantage plans as a type of Medicare health plan offered by a private company that contracts with Medicare to provide you with all your Part A and Part B benefits. Medicare Advantage Plans include Health Maintenance Organizations, Preferred Provider Organizations, Private Fee-for-Service Plans, Special Needs Plans, and Medicare Medical Savings Account Plans. If youre enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan, Medicare services are covered through the plan and arent paid for under Original Medicare. Most Medicare Advantage Plans offer prescription drug coverage.
These plans compete with original Medicare only to the extent that they provide choices. Advantage plans offer more not less benefits than original Medicare at a significantly lower cost as well as the security of a maximum out-of-pocket limit. They include drug coverage and pay 100 percent of covered expenses from day one, eliminating the need to buy Medigap and prescription drug policies. Equally as important, the for-profit companies relieve taxpayers of the burden of health care costs in excess of the out-of-pocket limit.

How dare he?
To the editor: I just returned from viewing the new Ben Affleck film Argo, which depicted the unlikely and remarkable effort to rescue six American diplomats from Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis.
The six individuals, who had escaped from the U.S. Embassy prior to the hostage taking, were hidden for a time at the Canadian ambassadors home before being rescued by CIA agent Tony Mendez, who got them out of Iran by having them pose as members of a film crew.
To be fair, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. What I take issue with was the final sound bite that ran during the credits that featured former President Jimmy Carter relating how we eventually secured the release of the remaining hostages.
With all due respect, Mr. Carter had nothing to do with their release. It was President Ronald Reagan who secured the release of the remaining hostages after their 444 days of captivity. How dare Carter take the credit? Its shameful.

The little things
To the editor: Dont let anyone fool you its the little things in this world that truly matter.
Thinking on the little things takes me back to being a much younger girl, being taught lessons and values at home first, and in kindergarten. Lessons like sharing is caring, and being taught when to use the words please and thank you.
As we get older, we learn new lessons, but some forget that the first ones are the foundation to build upon.
Some 20 years later, please and thank you are still magic words, and my smile has always and will continue to get me farther than a frown.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' new lineup isn't looking any better than the Giants' old lineup. Scoring is still a colossally tough chore. As for home runs, what are those?
After the Milwaukee Brewers gave away the previous day's game with their defense, they tightened things up Tuesday night with an errorless 3-1 victory over the punchless Giants at AT&T Park.
Wily Peralta (8-11) and three relievers limited the Giants to six hits. Perhaps most disturbing, manager Bruce Bochy's effort to get production out of the leadoff spot has actually taken a turn for the worse after he moved second baseman Marco Scutaro into the top slot.
Scutaro is 0 for 9 the past two nights hitting first and left three runners in scoring position in this latest loss. But Scutaro wasn't the only one flailing. Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval had chances to drive home the tying run in the eighth inning but couldn't get it done.
"We've been in position to win so many of these games," Bochy said. "We needed to have somebody come through for us, and that was missing again."
It was a tough pill to swallow for Matt Cain (7-7), who delivered his second consecutive strong seven-inning outing, allowing four hits, no walks and striking out six. But he left the game trailing 2-0, and the Giants' limp offense couldn't make up the deficit despite some excellent opportunities in the seventh and eighth innings.
Cain knows full well that when the hitters were hitting better earlier in the year, the pitchers weren't pitching as well as they are now. So he wasn't about to blast the club's feeble offensive effort.
"Guys are getting in position, but we just have to find ways to get them across the plate," he said. "It's just like getting ourselves in pitching positions where we can get ourselves out of jams and succeeding in doing it. They weren't worried about us earlier, and we're not worried about them now."
But Bochy sure is, particularly with the most reliable hitters on the team -- Posey, Sandoval and Scutaro -- failing to come through.
"That's what you hope for, create situations where you have the right guys up," he said. "We're getting them out there, we just need to have somebody to clutch up and get a timely hit."
It was a particularly rough night for Posey. He made a throwing error in the fourth inning when he tried to pick off baserunner Norichika Aoki, and the ball sailed into left field, allowing Milwaukee's second run to score. Then, with the tying run on third base and one out in the eighth, Posey hit a weak grounder to short.
"It's frustrating," Posey said. "I think all of us take a lot of pride in being in those situations and coming through."
After getting their lone run on a Joaquin Arias RBI groundout in the seventh, the Giants nearly accomplished what has become a rarity for them at AT&T Park in the eighth -- a homer. Brandon Crawford led off the inning with a long blast to right field against the Brewers' Brandon Kintzler, but the ball caromed off the top of the wall mere inches from going out.
Crawford's near-homer wound up extending a dubious streak for the Giants -- 92 innings over 10 games without a home run in their home park dating to July 20.
"It was good enough to go in a lot of parks, but you can never be sure here," Crawford said. "It's tough. We're not scoring a lot of runs, and when we do get opportunities to do it, I think each of us just really puts a lot of pressure on ourselves to get it done."
For a decade, Zito has worked on the behalf of disabled veterans through the organization he founded, Strikeouts For Troops.

Set 2: DWD kicks things off with a typical DWD jam before getting funky and swampy, before Piper emerges from said muck and catches fire, the band rocking so fast that Trey trips over words (what few words there are) to keep up with the speed at which the song is being ripped through. Piper then goes into its old closing coda, before the band launches into Ghost (slightly disappointed they didn't try a segue), botching the start of the final verse during the song portion, then making up for it with a slow, sweet, Page-driven jam that you can shut your eyes and sway your body to, before a brief passage reminiscent of some of last night's jamming and a quiet transition into Fluffhead. Circus and Wading, then a surprisingly long HYHU (Fishman introducing the rest of the band is a droll joy) that actually hits a neat groove before they say "ah, F it" and go into Sexual Healing, which is the usual amusing mess (at least they figured out the bridge!). A sprightly, typical late-90s Antelope (Page gives those ivories one hell of a tickling) brings the set of the weekend - by a hair over last night's 2nd set - to a close.
Set 3: Sabotage, yep, then out of the closing chords comes a barrage of alien sounds, leading into a smooth 2001 that (again) invites comparisons to the Went's version; again, it's not as good as that definitive version, but it's certainly funky as all get-out (even the cool-down section is funky) and Page plays some really nifty twinkling notes over the whole thing. Wilson comes next, and justifies its placement with a heavy loop-laden middle section that also threatens to go ambient before "Blatt boom!" gives us the big rock and roll ending. The rest of the set is crowd pleasers and a great bustout in While My Guitar Gently Weeps, a fine way to close out the festival...
Encore: ...except it doesn't close out the festival. Harry Hood does, and after a fine but standard Hood jam the band goes into one final, dark and beautiful ambient soundscape, guitar loops and all, as fireworks go off and Fish favors (?) us with some trombone work, before (of all things!) Page starts up Baby Elephant Walk (best known by my generation for being Dancin' Homer's theme song in that Simpsons episode) and the band wraps things up in a giddy, charming high note (although what was up with Trey's guitar tone there?).
Final Thoughts: Neither show is the best of the summer by any stretch of the imagination (maybe 8/16 sneaks into the top 5?), but there are some fine moments and both nights' second sets should definitely be heard. And, of course, the Ambient Jam is a watershed moment for the band and it's almost malfeasance to not listen to it.

The Daily Start-Up: Overseas Markets Beckon for Young Companies
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Here's one nascent trend among U.S. entrepreneurs that seems likely to gain momentum: a willingness to venture abroad, even as a fledgling company is just getting started, VentureWire reports. More founders of new U.S.-based businesses are catering to overseas customers even in the earliest months of their companies' life spans. The idea, they say, is to immediately capture the opportunity for faster growth by catering to clients in other countries, where there's less competition and potentially stronger economic growth.
Venture-backed companies are adapting to a new era in which economic issues matter as much as clinical ones as the federal health-care reform law takes effect, VentureWire reports. The law, through measures such as bundled payments and the creation of accountable-care organizations, encourages health-care providers to favor cost-effective treatments. As a result, economic issues are top of mind for venture investors and executives for 2013.
Also in today's VentureWire: Atomico, a U.K. venture firm that's rapidly expanding into new countries, has increased its third fund to just over $301 million, according to a regulatory filing…Palestinian venture firm Sadara Ventures has invested about $1 million in Souktel Corp., a mobile tech venture in Ramallah that helps people find work, and helps businesses find qualified employees via mobile networks and basic feature phones, VentureWire has learned…and a year after signaling that it was raising a $200 million 10th fund–about half the size of its ninth fund–Sierra Ventures is more than halfway there, a regulatory filing shows.

OAKLAND -- Mark Jackson is ready for the question, which is the best and only way to show that he's ready and edgy for the playoffs, too.
Mark, can you handle going toe-to-toe strategically with San Antonio's Gregg Popovich or Denver's George Karl in the playoffs?
"If I was calling the game (on TV) and it's the Warriors and the Spurs, I'm giving the edge to Popovich as a coach," Jackson, the Warriors' second-year coach, said earlier this week.
"That's all right. That doesn't mean he don't go down.
"And the same thing goes with the guys in the uniforms. I don't care who's over there."
Wait, are you saying you're not as good or are you just setting yourself up to be an under-estimated underdog in a first-round series starting this weekend, probably against Denver or San Antonio?
"George Karl . . . he'll be a Hall of Fame coach one day," Jackson said. "He's won in different spots. He's put together an impressive team this year.
"I don't care who you put in there -- you put Vinny Del Negro (of the Clippers) in there, you put anyone, they've had success . . .
"I'm not foolish enough with 66 (last season) plus 80 games under my belt to say, 'Give me the check mark over Popovich or anybody else.' No, that's OK. But we throw it out.
"And the check mark my entire career has gone the other way. And somehow, it's worked out."
Does this sound like a pre-playoff motivational speech to himself? Yes, and that's how Jackson runs his life, his team and now runs into the playoffs.
He's a button-pusher and has been his whole career -- from stoking Reggie Miller into frothing anti-Knicks mania when they were Indiana teammates to prodding and encouraging Stephen Curry and David Lee and the rest of the Warriors into the playoffs.
It doesn't take a psychology degree to know that Jackson is pushing his own buttons, too, with a nation of playoff second-guessers watching.
"I think he'll match up just fine," veteran guard Jarrett Jack said of his coach. "The playoffs are about adjustments and so is the regular season, and he's been doing a great job.
"This ain't his first go-'round in the playoffs. It's his first time coaching in them (but) he's played in the finals. With him being a point guard playing under Larry Brown, you don't think he has a bit of an experience he brings himself?"
Jackson also has proven he can lead a downtrodden team back into the playoffs for the first time since 2007, and for that he will get some deserved NBA coach of the year support behind Karl, Miami's Erik Spoelstra and probably a few others.
Jackson is not an overt X-and-O guy and never will be, so he may never be put alongside Brown, Don Nelson, Popovich, Doc Rivers and all the other respected strategic coaches.
But Jackson has nudged and unified the Warriors well above .500 after losing Brandon Rush in the second game of the season and while dealing with Andrew Bogut dropping in and out of the lineup.
The next step: Adapt their finesse style to normal rugged playoff basketball and make some noise in the playoffs; of course, a lot of that will depend on Jackson's coaching agility.
Jackson says every decent coach knows what the other team wants to do and every decent coach can make counter-moves and counter-counter-moves. The difference is getting the most out of your players at the optimal moments.
How do you do that? By pushing buttons.
"It's who I am," Jackson said. "And I believe ultimately that's what coaching is about."
So, what's Curry's button?
"Steph's button is trusting him," Jackson said. "I watched games, I called games that Steph would be playing and not finish. I've watched people question him . . .
"Like a lot of people, it's just believing in him; saying, 'Here's the basketball, I'm not going to go crazy if you throw a left-hand pass in the stands. I'm not going to take you out. I'm going to hold you accountable . . . But we're closing ballgames with you. You are the best player on the floor.' "
What's your button for David Lee?
"Letting him know, like from Day 1 when I sat him down, that people talked about him being a numbers guy," Jackson said. "And they could've been right. There's nothing wrong with being a numbers guy.
"You'd better believe Carmelo Anthony is a numbers guy. Kevin Durant's a numbers guy. LeBron James is a numbers guy. What numbers matter to put us in position to win?
"If you want to chase down 15 rebounds, there's nothing negative about that. To me, it was, 'OK, put us in position to win.' "
Which brings it full circle to the here and now. The Warriors have made the playoffs, they will be big underdogs no matter what, they will use that as motivation, they will rally around their coach, and then . . .
Nobody knows yet. That's the fun part for Mark Jackson, and he'll keep pushing buttons until he gets the result he wants.

Associate in Applied Science
Transfer to West Liberty University
Note: The "2+2" term is used to refer to a transfer agreement through which a student completes an Associate's degree at one institution and finishes a Bachelor's degree at another institution. Due to individual student factors, part-time or full-time status, need for transitional education coursework, scheduling and availability of courses, or other factors, all students may not be able to complete these degrees in two (Associate's) or four (Bachelor's) years. The term "2+2" does not imply a guarantee that a student will be able to complete all requirements in four years.
Further, 2+2 articulation agreements contain very specific requirements which have been agreed upon and approved by the administration and faculty at both institutions. Because of this, petitions for course substitutions will not usually be considered or approved to allow a student to graduate under a 2+2 program.

Zora Neale Hurston
Zora Neale Hurston Introduction
What Zora Neale Hurston did... and why you should care
You might call Zora Neale Hurston a novelist, an essayist, an anthropologist, a playwright, an icon of the Harlem Renaissance—but none of these labels fully capture the varied career of this African-American trailblazer. Perhaps that's just the way she wanted it. Hurston lived life on her own terms, and she paid a price for failing to conform to the expectations of either blacks or whites. Though she is celebrated as a fixture of the Harlem Renaissance, her politically incorrect opinions often set her at odds with its key figures. Her most famous work, the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, was vilified after its publication by many of the great black American writers she is now often compared to. Hurston refused to substitute what she saw as the truth for what was socially acceptable. "I tried ... not to pander to the folks who expect a clown and a villain in every Negro," she said of Their Eyes Were Watching God. "Neither did I want to pander to those 'race' people among us who see nothing but perfection in all of us."1
Zora Neale Hurston was brilliant but flawed—she was a gifted B.S. artist, and had no problem stretching the truth to get what she needed. She died penniless in a welfare home. Hurston seemed destined for obscurity until the writer Alice Walker launched a successful one-woman crusade to resurrect her career, decades after her death. But Hurston made no excuses or apologies, and accepted the consequences that came from her decisions. "I have never liked stale phrases and bodyless courage," she wrote to her friend, the poet Countee Cullen. "I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions."2 The generations of readers who have since discovered Zora Neale Hurston are grateful that she did.

After a long weekend battling the elements, the men's final of the Third-Annual Islander Open will come down to one match that will feature a pair of familiar faces to Texas A&M – Corpus Christi fans. Senior Aurelien Tave and sophomore Matt Westmoreland will meet at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center on Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. to decide the winner.
Westmoreland, a sophomore, was the No. 1 ranked junior player in Hawaii and reached as high as No. 26 in the United States Junior Rankings and had the team's second-best record at 15-8 as a true freshman. Tave, a native of St. Gilles les Bains, Reunion Island, posted the best record on the team with a 14-7 mark. The two combined for 29 singles victories on a team that reached as high as No. 52 nationally last year, won the Southland Conference regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Championships. For their efforts, Westmoreland was named the Southland Freshman of the Year while Tave earned Newcomer of the Year honors.
"We're looking forward to a very competitive match between two players that competed extremely hard this weekend," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "Both have taken their games to another level over the last six months, and I think this will be a very entertaining event for the University and the city of Corpus Christi. It is our first chance to really showcase this incredible new facility, so we're very excited about Tuesday night. "
Both players made their way through a talented field, beating players from UTSA, Abilene Christian, Laredo Community College and Tyler Junior College to reach the finals. It will be the first time the two have officially played each other, with previous matches coming against each other during practice last season and this summer and fall.
In the three years of the tournament, the Islanders have had five-of-six participants in the men's singles final. The first year of existence, former Islander Dmitry Novikov lost to Ashwin Vijayaragavan of Texas – Pan American. A year ago, James Langford and Laurent Montoisy battled for the title at the Corpus Christi Athletic Club, with Langford besting his teammate for the championship.
This year two more Islanders will give it a go, playing each other for the title, with a Texas A&M – Corpus Christi player guaranteed to earn the honor for the second year in-a-row.
The match is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. and admission is free to all fans. The athletic department will also host a live chat for the match through CoverItLive!. Fans can sign-up for the event by visiting this link.

The preliminary hearing for Garland Mitchell and Mandy Mitchell, two of three suspects charged in a Feb. 4 double homicide in Morgan County, has been rescheduled from May 1 to June 18.
Garland Mitchell, 45, and Mandy Mitchell, 28, both of Jefferson City are charged with two counts of murder in the 2nd degree and two counts of armed criminal action.
Derrell Spellmeyer, 43, of Eldon is facing similar charges. His preliminary hearing is set for May 10.
The trio were arrested for the murder of Freddie and Carol Wilson at the couple's home on Dorsey Lane.
Police arrested the Mitchells and Spellmeyer as they were driving in the area of the residence. As deputies approached the Wilson's home, a white van with the three suspects inside swerved across the road to hit a patrol car. The three were taken into custody after the ensuing accident.
At the scene of the accident, officers reportedly recovered a .32 caliber hand gun and a bottle of Hydrocodone belonging to Carol Wilson. Court documents state that police noted blood on Spellmeyer's hands and clothing. A .32 caliber casing was also recovered at the scene of the murders.
Court documents state that in an interview with detectives Spellmeyer confessed to shooting the gun and inflicting knife wounds on Freddie Wilson. He reportedly claimed that "they made me do it."
In court documents, police reported that the Mitchells said they drove Spellmeyer to the Wilson's residence to obtain drugs but did not enter the home. They reportedly claimed hearing gunshots shortly after Spellmeyer went into the residence.
All three fled the scene in the white van before encountering police.

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 1. General remarks about...
|3. Hitler and the Beginn... >
|List of abbreviations >>
2.1Hitler's very first political statement, his letter to Adolf Gemlich on 16 September 1919, already includes a clear declaration of his antisemitic position (Gemlich was a former participant in one of the political indoctrination courses organised by the military authorities in Bavaria, on which Hitler had taught) .
Antisemitism of the emotional sort finds its final expression in the form of pogroms. Rational antisemitism on the other hand, must lead to a systematic legal opposition and elimination of those special privileges which the Jews hold, in contrast to the other aliens living among us (alien's legislation). Its final objective must unswervingly be the removal of the Jews altogether.1
2.2This outlook also characterises Hitler's early public posture. The radicalism of his antisemitic statements at this point is remarkable; clearly his vision of a "removal" of the German Jews carried definite implications of violence. As early as 1920 he spoke of extirpation (Ausrottung) and annihilation (Vernichtung). Thus according to a police report of a NSDAP meeting on 6 April 1920 he declared:2
We have no intention of being emotional antisemites who want to create the atmosphere of a pogrom; instead, our hearts are filled with an inexorable determination to attack the evil at its roots and to extirpate it root and branch. In order to reach our goal every means will be justified, even if we have to make a pact with the devil.
2.3In a talk before a gathering of National Socialists in Salzburg on 7 August 1920 he said:
Don't think that one can fight against disease without killing the cause, without exterminating the germ; and don't think that one can fight against racial tuberculosis without taking care that the peoples be freed of the germ of racial tuberculosis. The effect of Judaism will never disappear and the poisoning of the people will not end unless the cause - the Jews - are removed from our presence.1
2.4In the first large mass meeting of the NSDAP after the refounding of the Party (which had been banned after the failed putsch of 1923) Hitler, on 27 February 1925, looked back on the founding of the NSDAP and explained:
The goal then was clear and simple: fight against the devilish power which has pushed Germany into this misery, fight against Marxism as well as the spiritual carrier of this world plague and epidemic - the Jews. Fight - not on the bourgeois model 'carefully' so that it doesn't hurt. No and once again no.2
2.5In another part of this speech Hitler spoke about the newly founded Party: "Who does this movement have to combat? Against the Jew as an individual and Marxism as his cause.3
2.6And in another passage, Hitler pointed once again to the chief objective of the National Socialists - to the struggle against the Jewish "poison" within the German people (Volk), in his view clearly a lethal danger:
The greatest danger is and remains for us the poison of foreign peoples in our body. All other dangers are limited in time. Only this alone is eternally present in its consequences for us. [...] The peace treaty can be abrogated, reparation obligations can be declared invalid and rejected, political parties can be disposed of, but blood that is once poisoned can never be altered. It remains and proliferates and pushes us down from year to year ever deeper. If you are surprised today about the inner turmoil of our people than consider the following: The blood which is at odds with itself is merely expressing itself in the inner turmoil of the German people. And there lies the greatest danger, that with the continuation of this poisoning in 10, 20 and 30 years we will be weaker than now, in 100 years weaker than after 30 and in 200 years more unconsciousness than after 100 years; one day however the time will come when our people will fall from its cultural heights and will finally hopelessly perish as a result of this blood poisoning...4
2.7In his book, MEIN KAMPF, which appeared in 1926 and especially in a manuscript written in 1927, which remained unpublished until after 1945 (his "Second Book")5, Hitler placed this radical view, which leads to the "removal" of the Jews from Germany, within the context of a theory which he tried to derive historically. According to this theory, the meaning of world history is a permanent struggle between the races or the peoples (Völker) over "living space" (Lebensraum). In this model the Jews, who are said to be unable to develop their own territorial state or culture, play the role of parasitic beings who seek to destroy from within (together with other Jews in a international conspiracy) the construction of Lebensraum empires by the superior races.
2.8This "theory" is described most clearly in a lengthy section in his "second book":6
The Jewish people, because of their own lack of productive capacity, are not able to build up their own territorial state. Rather, they need the work and creative activity of other nations as a base for their own existence. The existence of the Jews themselves thus becomes that of a parasite within the life of other peoples. The final goal of the Jewish struggle for survival is therefore the enslavement of productive peoples. To reach this goal, which in truth describes the struggle for existence of Jewry in all times, the Jew uses all weapons which correspond to the whole complex of his being. Domestically, he fights within the individual nations first for equality and then for superiority. As weapons he uses cunning, cleverness, subterfuge, malice, dissimulation, etc..., qualities which are rooted in the essence of his ethnic character. They are ruses in his struggle for existence, similar to the ruses other peoples use in sword-fights. In terms of foreign policy, he tries to make the peoples restless, distracting them from their true interests, pushing them into wars with one another and in this way, with the help of the power of money and propaganda to bring them under his dominance. His ultimate goal is the denationalisation, the promiscuous bastardisation of other peoples - the lowering of the racial niveau of the highest peoples as well as domination over his racial porridge through the extirpation of the völkisch intelligencia and its replacement by members of his own people. The end of the Jewish world struggle will thus always be bloody Bolshevisation, that means in truth the destruction of the spiritual elite which is bound with the peoples, so that he alone can ascend and become master of a mankind which has been rendered leaderless. Stupidity, cowardice and wickedness help him to achieve his goals. In the bastard he secures himself the first opening so as to break into the body of another people. The end of Jewish domination is nevertheless always the decay of all culture and finally the insanity of the Jew himself. Then he becomes a parasite of the peoples and his victory signifies the death of his victim as well as his own end.
2.9As is clearly demonstrated in his MEIN KAMPF and his "Second Book", Hitler perceived the situation of Germany after the end of the first World War to be the consequence of an international Jewish conspiracy. Jews dominated "international finance capital" as well as the socialist movement: they were responsible for war, revolutions, the decline of national values and for the pernicious "mixing of the races".
2.10The language which Hitler used in this early period to refer to the Jews was filled with boundless hatred. Eberhard Jäckel once compiled a series of typical designations for Jews from MEIN KAMPF: The Jew is a maggot in a rotting corpse; a germ carrier of the worst sort; mankind's eternal germ of disunion; the spider that slowly sucks the people's blood out of its pores; the pack of rats fighting bloodily among themselves; the parasites in the body of other peoples; a sponger, who, like a harmful bacillus, continues to spread; the eternal bloodsucker; the peoples' parasite; the vampire.7
2.11An analysis of the public statements by Hitler in the second half of the twentieth century shows clearly that antisemitism had always played a central role in his thinking. In Hitler's speeches in this period, antisemitism was by no means a marginal element used only for demagogic purposes. Rather, antisemitism was the central component of the ideological structure which he endeavored - with stubborn perseverence - to convey to his listerners.
2.12For even when Hitler concerned himself with political questions of the day, in the course of his public statements in the second half of the twenties, the large majority of his speeches and articles would usually return to the ideological train of thought which he had developed in MEIN KAMPF and in his second book. These ideological considerations were necessary for him so as to explain the precarious situation in which Germany found itself after the end of the first World War.
2.13Central categories in Hitler's public statements continued to be "space" and "race": the future of the Germans as a racially valuable people depended upon the conquest of as great a space as possible.8 The fulfilment of this historical mission, which according to Hitler's central argument was decisive for the security of the existence of the German people, was obstructed by systematic attempts by the "Jewish race" to prevent it.
2.14Over and over again Hitler repeated in his speeches his stereotypical grievances against the Jews: That they were not able to work productively and were unfit to create culture9; that they lacked a positive attitude towards the soil; that instead they had others work for them and charged them interest.10 He therefore called the Jews "parasites" or "spongers" (Schmarotzer).11
2.15In Hitler`s view, through clever activities they had gathered the economy in their hands.12 Although personally unable to create culture, they had been able to dominate the culture industry and the press and therefore controlled public opinion.13 The political parties were, in his view, dominated by the Jews.14 This was especially true for the Socialist parties.15 In a typical expression, he called "Marxism" the "greatest instrument for the annihilation of the Aryan peoples, for the annihilation of the intelligence of these Aryan peoples and for the constitution of a thin Jewish upper class".16 In the Soviet Union, this goal had already been largely achieved through Stalin`s dictatorship, in his view.17
2.16On an international level, the Jews had also achieved a dominating position in the economy; he claimed that "international finance Jewry" used their position to put additional economic and political pressure upon Germany.18 Communism and capitalism were, in Hitler's view, both instruments in the hands of Jews for the attainment of a position of world domination: "Western democracy on the one hand and Russian Bolshevism on the other are the forms in which the present Jewish world conspiracy takes its form."19 The international order created by the Versailles treaty serves the Jews for the purpose of annihilating the German people.20
2.17In Hitler's view, the Jews had thus largely succeeded in infiltrating the German people and manipulating and splitting it. The Jews were responsible for the fact that the German people had already begun to turn away from their task which was decisive for their future - that of accumulating soil and working it.21 The inner division of Germany, the political conflict between the bourgeoisie and the workers was also the work of the Jews.22 In his speeches, Hitler frequently used the metaphor of a "body of the people" (Volkskörper) which a foreign element had penetrated, in order to describe the supposed dominant position of the Jews within the German "Volk"23: a cancer - which had to be removed.24
2.18From this chain of reasoning, Hitler came to the conclusion that Germany's problems could basically only be solved by means of the removal of the dominance of the Jews. Concretely, he developed specific suggestions which were entirely based upon the Party Programme of the NSDAP: this involved the elimination of the economic ascendancy of the Jews and - in the event that they did not submit - their physical removal: "If he conducts himself well than he can stay, if not than out."25 Hitler also prepared his listeners for the concept that this settlement of accounts with the Jewish mortal enemy would not be an easy task, but rather might involve a difficult and if necessary violent confrontation.26
2.19If one considers the function of antisemitism within Hitler`s world view it becomes clear that it played the role of the central binding element in a hodgepodge of highly contradictory ideas. Hitler's public statements in the second half of the 1920`s make it clear that his world-view (Weltanschauung) was unthinkable without his antisemitism. He promised his listeners that with the solution to the "Jewish problem" he could solve Germany's basic dilemmas in the areas of foreign and domestic policy, as well as in the economic, social and cultural realms.
2.20After 1930, when the NSDAP had become a party with a mass base, the antisemitic element began to recede markedly. Clearly Hitler was aware of the fact that the number of his electors had surpassed the number of radical antisemites in the German population.27 A more precise analysis of his speeches reveals however that he had not in any way altered his basic ideology. For in fact in the years 1930 to 1933, as the NSDAP attained unprecedented electoral sucess, the basic elements of the Hitler ideology, "space" and "race", remained the center of his speeches.28 Hitler emphasized on different occasions that he continued to regard the "Jewish race" as the main enemy of the German people.
2.21Thus on 29 August 1930, a few days before the greatest electoral victory of the Nazis in the Reichstag election, in a speech in Munich he announced, in regard to the Jews: "The head of another race sits upon the body of our people (Volkskörper); the heart and the head of our people are no longer one and the same."29 In another speech a few weeks later, he portrayed the struggle against the Jews (without naming them) as a contract with divinity:
When we present ourselves as German and try to protect ourselves from poisoning by another people, then we are trying to return into the hands of the almighty Creator the very same creature which he bestowed on us...30
1. 'Der Antisemitismus aus rein gefühlsmäßigen Gründen wird seinen letzten Ausdruck finden in der Form von Pogromen. Der Antisemitismus der Vernunft jedoch muß führen zur planmäigen gesetzlichen Bekämpfung und Beseitigung der Vorrechte der Juden, die er zum Unterschied der anderen zwischen uns lebenden Fremden besitzt (Fremdengesetzgebung). Sein letztes Ziel aber muß unverrückbar die Entfernung der Juden überhaupt sein.' Jäckel/Kuhn (eds.), Hitler, Aufzeichnungen,No. 61, HSTA München, Abt. IV, GruppenKdo 4, Bd. 50/8).
2. 'Wir wollen keine Gefühlsantisemiten sein, die Pogromstimmung erzeugen wollen, sondern es beseelt uns die unerbittliche Entschlossenheit, das Öbel an der Wurzel zu packen und mit Stumpf und Stil auszurotten. Um unser Ziel zu erreichen, muá uns jedes Mittel recht sein, selbst wenn wir uns mit dem Teufel verbinden müßten.' Jäckel/Kuhn (eds.), Hitler, Aufzeichnungen, No. 91 (StA München, PolDir. 6698. Police-Report).
1. Denn denken Sie nicht, daß Sie eine Krankheit bekämpfen können, ohne nicht den Erreger zu töten, ohne den Bazillus zu vernichten, und denken Sie nicht, daß Sie die Rassentuberkulose bekämpfen können, ohne zu sorgen, daß das Volk frei wird von dem Erreger der Rassentuberkulose. Das Wirken des Judentums wird neimals vergehen, und die Vergiftung des Volkes nicht enden, solange nicht der Erreger, der Juden, aus unserer Mitte entfernt ist.' Jäckel/Kuhn (eds.), Hitler, Aufzeichnungen, No. 129 (BAB, NS 11/28).
2. 'Das Ziel war damals klar und einfach: Kampf der Teufelsmacht,die Deutschland in dieses Elend hineingestürzt, Kampf dem Marxismus sowie dem geistigen Träger dieser Weltpest und Seuche, dem Juden. Kampf nicht nach bürgerlichem Muster, 'vorsichtig', damit er nicht zu weh tut. Nein und nochmals nein.' Hitler, Reden I, No. 6, p. 20.
3. 'Gegen wen aber hat diese Bewegung zu kämpfen? Gegen den Juden als Person und den Marxismus als seine Sache.' Ibid., p. 21.
4. 'Die größte Gefahr ist und bleibt für uns das fremde Völkergift in unserem Leibe. Alle anderen Gefahren sind zeitlich bedingt. Nur diese eine allein ist in ihrer Folgewirkung ewig für uns vorhanden. [...]Den Friedensvertrag kann man brechen, Wiedergutmachtungsverpflichtungen können ungültig erklärt und abgelehent werden, politische Parteien vermag man zu beseitigen, aber das Blut, das einmal vergiftet ist, kann man nie mehr ändern, das bleibt und wuchert fort und drückt uns von Jahr zu Jahr tiefer herunter. Wenn Sie sich heute wundern über die innere Zerrissenheit unseres Volkes, so bedenken Sie folgendes: Es sprich aus die deutschen Volke in seiner Zerrissenheit nur sein zerrissenes Blut heraus. Und darin liegt die größte Gefahr, da wir bei einer Fortsetzung dieser Vergiftung in 10, 10 und 30 Jahren schwächer sein werden als jetzt, in 100 Jahren schwächer als nach 30 und in 200 ohnmächtiger als nach 100 Jahren; einmal aber kommt die Zeit, da unser Volk von seiner kulturellen Höhe sinken wird, um endlich an diesr Blutvergiftung rettungslos zugrunde zu gehen...' Ibid., p. 23.
5. Hitler, Adolf: Manuscript, printed under the title: Außenpolitische Standortbestimmungen nach der Reichstgswahl, Juni-Juli 1928, (Hitler, Reden II A).
6. 'Das jüdische Volk kann mangels eigener produktiver Fähigkeiten einen Staatsbau räumlich empfundener Art nicht durchführen, sondern braucht als Unterlage seiner eigenen Existenz die Arbeit und schöpferische Tätigkeit anderer Nationen. Die Existenz des Juden selbst wird damit zu einer parasitären innerhalb des Lebens anderer Völker. Das letzte Ziel des jüdischen Lebenskampfes ist dabei die Versklavung produktiv tätiger Völker. Zur Erreichung dieses Zieles, das in Wirklichkeit den Lebenskampf des Judentums zu allen Zeiten darstellte, bediente sich der Jude aller Waffen, die dem Gesamtkomplex seines Wesens entsprechen. Innenpolitisch kämpft er dabei innerhalb der einzelnen Völker erst um die Gleich- und später und die Überberechtigung. Als Waffen dienen ihm hierzu die Eigenschaften der Schläue, Klugheit, List, Tücke, Verstellung usw., die im Wesen seines Volkstums wurzeln. Sie sind Kriegslisten in seinem Lebenserhaltungskampf, so wie die Kriegslisten anderer Völker im Schwertkampf. Außenpolitisch versucht er, die Völker in Unruhe zu bringen, von ihren wahren Interessen abzulenken, in gegenseitige Kriege zu stürzen und auf diesem Wege langsam mit Hilfe der Macht des Geldes und der Propaganda sich zu ihrem Herrn aufzuschwingen. Sein Endziel ist die Entnationalisierung, die Durcheinanderbastardierung der anderen Völker die Senkung des Rassenniveaus der Höchsten sowie die Beherrschung dieses Rassenbreies durch Ausrottung der völkischen Intelligenz und deren Ersatz durch die Angehörigen seines eigenen Volkes. Das Ende des jüdischen Weltkampfes wird daher immer die blutige Bolschewisierung sein, daß heißt in Wahrheit die Vernichtung des mit den Völkern verbundenen eigenen geistigen Oberschichten, so daß er selbst zum Herrn der führerlos gemachten Menschheit aufzusteigen vermag. Dummheit, Feigheit und Schlechtheit arbeiten ihm dabei in die Hände. In den Bastarden sichert er sich die ersten Öffnungen zum Einbruch in einen fremden Volkskörper. Das Ende einer Judenherrschaft ist dabei stets der Verfall jeglicher Kultur und endlich der Wahnsinn des Juden selbst. Denn er ist Völkerparasit, und sein Sieg bedeutet ebensosehr den Tod seines Opfers als sein eigenes Ende.' Ibid., P. 183.

One of the highlights of Usher's OMG tour is when he selects a lucky audience member to come on stage for a serenade. Not any more. Watch this woman who accidentally kick the singer in his face with her heel!
Sure, the footage is a bad-quality fan video from a concert, but it's still as gratifying as a "fail video" gets.
By now we're well-aware of his love of grinding on inanimate objects, so do you think he kind of liked getting hit in the face with a shoe? Just some food for thought...
