Theo Angelopoulos' Landscape in the Mist is a work of art that comes from the feelings, the dreams, the sorrows, and the flashes of life…
"Making It" is a curiously unfinished movie. It has all these serious things to tell us about youth, age, the generation gap and growing up in upper-middle-class America. It sneaks up and whispers them in our ear. And just when we're nodding in agreement, the movie gets embarrassed and changes the subject, and we're watching a cheap comedy situation or a sight gag. Like the adolescent it's about, "Making It" has an inadequate attention span.
The strange thing, though, is that a fundamentally good movie seems to be trying to break through the B.S. My guess is that James Leigh's novel ("What Can You Do?") and Peter Bart's screenplay were so uncompromisingly serious that the filmmakers got scared. So they hedged their bet by throwing in easy laughs, stock gag situations and one-liners.
The result is a movie with an awfully uncertain tone, and tone, I'm becoming convinced, is one thing a good movie has to have. You can't do a TV situation comedy scene for 15 minutes and then cut straight into a terribly, terribly serious scene where a son arranges for his own mother to have an abortion. It won't work; it certainly doesn't work here.
There's an admittedly funny scene, you see, where the young hero lures a girl to a trailer park, breaks into an unoccupied trailer, stage-manages a candlelit dinner with wine and shrimp curry (fortified with pot) and then seduces her. The scene works splendidly on its own level. But it doesn't belong in a movie where the girl thinks she's pregnant but isn't and then the boy's mother's fiancé is killed in a car crash and the mother's pregnant. These are too many changes for a movie to go through in, say, 45 minutes; if we were laughing before, what do we do now?
My notion is that the material should have been handled as straight and heavy drama from beginning to end. We should have really penetrated into these characters instead of seeing them mostly in a montage of basic scenes from other "youth" or "contemporary" movies. There's an idealistic young English teacher who gets into a philosophical disagreement about life with our hero, but the discussion they have about J. D. Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" is so comically absurd, irrelevant and unknowing about Salinger that we can't take their disagreement seriously.
Maybe the filmmakers figured the audience would go gaga at any mention of a real, honest-to-God novelist. But no. "Making it" should have assumed a much higher level of intelligence for its audience, and aimed at that level. Instead, it tries to sneak in the "intellectual" stuff and succeeds only in garbaging up some pretty sound ideas.
The movie's success in certain scenes is due largely to the lead performance by Kristoffer Tabori, an engaging young man who manages to play a 17-year-old as if he were neither 12 nor 30. Joyce Van Patten, as his mother, overdoes the neurotic bit until it gets distracting. Bob Balaban, a rising young character actor, is interesting as the hero's best friend; but with the Balaban character, as with the movie as a whole, you feel there was more there before they unleashed director John Erman on the material. The movie is finally too light for the significance of its story.

Now she is just Wenona, a somewhat vain yoga instructor that has a taste for dating rich men and spending their money. Only constant effort and mediation keeps her hunger to drain everyone one around her of all they have at bay. Having been bitten by a radioactive vampire bat gifted her with amazing abilities, but also with terrible hunger.
Wenona goes through a very athletic yoga routine when she senses she is not alone. She-Borg has entered the room and identifies her as Crimson Bat! Wenona is shocked, and the opponents begin to circle each other. Her strength sucking abilities won't work on a robot and although she puts up a fight, Wenona suffers a CRUSHING beating and defeat at the hands of She-Borg

By Danielle Rowley MP
First published in the Midlothian Advertiser, March 2019
I recently visited the Isle of Lewis with the Scottish Affairs Committee to hear from crofters directly about how UK agricultural policy works for the farming and crofting community, especially in remote areas. Island life certainly has its unique challenges, but I was struck by some of the similarities between Lewis and Midlothian.
When I visited Eastside Farm ran by the Cowan family near Penicuik, their challenges of running a working sheep farm in the Pentlands with the breath-taking, dramatic landscape and changing weather were similar to the experiences I heard about on Lewis. But the real similarity between the two was the passion for the land and environment.
The love and dedication shown by the people I met for their communities, land and way of life was clear to see. Their traditions may be formed around crofting and fishing, and ours around mining and industry – as well as farming – but both communities and traditions have been challenged by 21st century life. The decline of our traditional industries coupled with technological developments and more opportunities for young people in cities has affected both Lewis and Midlothian.
At a town hall meeting I heard from residents of all ages, about the need for more opportunities for young people. This is something I hear often in Midlothian too. Last weekend when out at one of my roving surgeries, I spoke to a lovely senior citizen in Penicuik – his main concern was a lack of well-paid and secure jobs for young people. He told me that he worked hard, and that he and his wife moved into the house that he still lives in over fifty years ago. He worried that young people growing up here nowadays wouldn't have the same access to a good job and a home. I agree – and will work hard to ensure our young people have opportunities to take advantage of here in Midlothian.

The Chicago Park District is returned the statue of the nation's first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton to its pedestal in Lincoln Park on June 8, 2017.
The statue has been undergoing a restoration since its removal in September of 2015. The statue required a touch up to its gilded finish, which involves applying thin layer of gold leaf to the bronze surface. Conservationists used a technologically-advanced laser cleaning process, which eliminated the use of mechanical abrasives or chemicals. The Chicago Park District is also using this opportunity to restore Hamilton to its original orientation facing north. The statue originally faced north, but was shifted to face south in 1993 to increase exposure to the sun.
The 13 foot tall, 3,000 pound statue was commissioned by Kate Sturges Buckingham around 1940. Buckingham was most notably known for donating the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain located in Grant Park. The statue was sculpted by John Angel and the masonry was designed by Coolidge & Shattuck Architects of Boston. Funding for the restoration of the Hamilton statue was provided by the Kate S. Buckingham Fund of the Art Institute of Chicago.

By withdrawing support provided by the Future Jobs Fund, Ed Miliband has today warned that the coalition government is betraying young people.
Miliband says the planned scrapping of the fund and its replacement – the new Work Programme – will leave young people stranded in the three months period before the Work Programme is launched in June 2011.
Earlier the House of Commons' Work and Pensions Committee raised concerns saying the government's decision will leave unemployed young people without the support they need to find jobs.
The committee is concerned about the potential gap in help for young unemployed people following the decision to end the Future Jobs Fund a year early. We are also concerned that the new Work Programme may not be fully available in all areas of the country from next June," said committee chairman Anne Begg.
However Prime Minister David Cameron has advised that the government has helped the private sector create 300,000 jobs over the past six months.
This will be built on as today David Cameron has met top representatives from 20 multinational companies including McDonald's, Shell and Toyota who have promised to create more jobs.

Just a quick post to let you know I am a bit tied up right now which is why I've been AWOL. My son Bard had a bit of an emergency at the weekend when one of his friends (who has mental health issues) went berserk, smashed up Bard's flat and badly beat him up.
This friend has been staying with Bard because he had been thrown out of his own flat and Bard (in the absence of any help from social services or the mental health people) had been looking after him and trying to help out. It was all a bit of a nightmare with neighbors calling the police and the lad being arrested. We have spent the weekend helping sort out the mess and still have a way to go to get things straight.
Bard is ok but shaken up. He has reluctantly decided that he has to give up on his friend and stop giving him shelter and acting as his social worker because he can't afford to lose his own flat.

No deviation in conduct of rituals in Puri Srimandir: SJTA
Puri: Abolition of hereditary services and appointment of servitors still remains a bone of contention even though a detailed discussion was done at the Chhatisa Nijog meeting held in Puri today on the disciplinary reforms suggested by the Supreme Court.
Chief administrator of Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), Pradipta Mohapatra today stated that there was a detailed discussion on the proposals while consensus could not be reached on three points.
"A detailed discussion on all the 12 proposals was held in the meeting. There is absolutely no objection on nine proposals while there are some differences over abolition of Annaadaan Atika, ban on placing of Thali and pitchers by servitors for collecting donations and amendment of the Jagannath Temple Act," said Mohapatra.
Mohapatra further informed that the servitors were accommodative towards several proposals and it has been clearly stated that there will be no change in the conduct of daily rituals and other festivals of Lord Jagannath.
"The servitors will submit their views in writing on the issue of hereditary service and appointment of servitors before the Amicus Curiae," Mohapatra added.
It is pertinent to mention here that the apex court on June 8 had sought a report from the Puri District Judge on ways to curb mismanagement and alleged exploitation of the devotees at Puri Srimandir.
Subsequently, the Puri district judge had suggested a plethora of measures for the 12th century shrine including abolition of hereditary appointment of servitors, prohibition on collection of money for Annadan Atika by servitors, ban on placing thali and pitchers to receive donation, provision of separate toilets for men and women, queuing system for hassle free darshan among others.

Why the "Three Vs" May not Help your Big Data Initiative
Tony Cosentino, vice president and research director at research and advisory services firm Ventana Research, sees unanticipated outcomes and challenges with big data implementations. He warns that defining big data by the "three Vs" - volume, velocity and variety - turns into a very technical discussion and encourages organizations to focus instead on the decision-making process to find the most value from the data.
Cosentino discussed his perspective and recommendation of an alternate way to define big data with Information Management in a recent interview.
Ventana Research has conducted extensive research about big data and big data analytics. Would you talk about that research and some of the implications for the future of big data?
One key finding in our big data analytics research shows how early we are in this market. That is, the most important capability of big data analytics by far is predictive analytics, but among companies that have deployed big data analytics, descriptive analytic approaches of query and reporting and data discovery are more readily available than predictive capabilities. Such statistics are likely a [result] of big data technologies such as Hadoop, and their associated distributions, having prioritized the ability to run descriptive statistics through standard SQL, which is the most common method for implementing analysis on Hadoop. It is likely a walk-before-you-run situation, and what we will see going forward is more predictive capabilities put on top of big data. We are already seeing this with a number of vendors, but the ecosystem is still quite fragmented.
What new or surprising trends around big data stand out from your research and work with clients?
Perhaps the most surprising finding is that communication and knowledge sharing is a primary benefit of big data analytics initiatives, but it is a latent one. Among organizations planning to deploy big data analytics, the benefits most often anticipated are faster response to opportunities and threats, improving efficiency and improving the customer experience. However, after a big data analytics system has been deployed, the benefits most often mentioned as achieved are better communication and knowledge sharing. It's noteworthy that the benefit of communication and knowledge sharing, while not a priority before deployment (not even in the top five), becomes top-ranked after deployment. In my opinion, this reflects how [difficult] defining these initiatives can be for a company culture and that the biggest unanticipated challenge as well as a key benefit of these initiatives is organizational collaboration.
How much confusion do you think still exists in the big data marketplace?
Our big data analytics research shows that there is still much confusion in this market. This is reflected by the lack of agreement upon what we mean by big data analytics. If we think about big data analytics in terms of the Vs (volume, velocity and variety), the research shows that organizations prioritize these by variety, volume and then velocity. The problem is that bringing the three Vs together focuses us on a broad ranging, but technological discussion. Big data ends up being more of an ethos than something tangible that delivers value to an organization. As we go forward, I anticipate the discussion to continue in the direction of what I have defined as the business Ws: the "What" (i.e., the data), the "So What" (i.e., the implications of the data), the "Now What" (i.e., the decisions made from the data), and "Then What" (closing the loop after the decision either from a human or a machine perspective). This gets us thinking more in terms of decision-making processes and prevents us from being mired in ambiguous big data discussions.

Pinkbike – Ridden & Rated: 8 Mid-Range Downhill Helmets including Leatt DBX 5.0
"It is possibly the coolest of the bunch."
Pinkbike recently featured their favorite 8 mid-range downhill helmets and included our DBX 5.0 helmet.
"There's a wide range of quality downhill full-face helmets on the market packed with features at a good price. There is also a lot of new technology aimed at reducing the effect of oblique (rotational) impacts being developed in order to keep us safer. As more is becoming known about the dangers of repeated concussions, this is most welcome. There are a plethora of different tests, safety standards, and theories that are still evolving, so we don't go in-depth on that topic in this article. Instead, this is an observation of fit, feeling, and features – we suggest you visit each brand's site to find more about their types of technology and how they could improve safety.
With so many newcomers, are the reliable favorites being surpassed? We've been testing a range of mid-level options from the main players as this is a reflection of the helmets most popular with consumers. The main difference with most products in this test compared to their more expensive brethren is they all forego the carbon shells of their top of the line counterparts for a small increase in weight, but most retain the same styling, technology and safety features.
Regardless of features, styling, and price, the number one most important factor with a helmet is fit. I must have a fairly 'normal' head shape as every helmet (except one) in medium size fitted really well. Head to your local bike shop to test for size and fit, and remember that the removable foam interior will compress slightly with use. Buying from your local shop can also make things easier if you choose a helmet with a crash replacement policy; sometimes you can go back to the shop and they will be able to hand over a new one, but if you buy online there could be a long process of posting the helmet back and forth," they said.
"Leatt may have previously only been known for their neck braces, but for the past few years, they've been showing their hand in the helmet game. The DBX 5.0 is what they think a downhill helmet should be: incredibly protective without compromising on ventilation, even at low speeds. They've done this by using 360° Turbine technology, which is their chosen method of rotational impact protection, along with in-molded impact foam to reduce the overall size of the helmet, reducing the transfer of rotational forces to the head, neck, and brain. Other features include 'Eject System' compatibility, emergency release cheek pads and a breakaway visor."
In a similar vein to the Kali Shiva, Leatt use an energy absorbing material that hardens on impact create low-speed absorption and rotational dissipation – '360º Turbine' discs, in this case, claim to reduce up to 40% of rotational acceleration to the head and brain as well as reducing up to 30% of head impact at concussion level. Another similarity to Kali is the dual density foam molded together with tesselating pyramids to give progressive absorption and dissipation of incoming forces.
The Leatt DBX is the only helmet without mesh-covered vents as standard, but these can be added later as well as a 'winter kit' that can block the vents for cold days. It also has a nifty 'Hidr8' system allowing you to thread a hydration tube through the helmet and to your mouth. Both features suggest that this helmet is verging towards the enduro side of the spectrum over pure downhill, and this is proven when riding as it is possibly the coolest of the bunch. It's also the only helmet here with a magnetic snap-on Fidlock buckle, which is the quickest and easiest type I have found to use, and also suggests it can be a good crossover lid for downhill and aggressive enduro – something like the Megavalanche, for example," they concluded.

In the history of American politics in modern times, a consistent pattern in American Presidential elections is that there always major factor or factors to water down the victories of the Presidential candidates and their parties (Palumbo 300-50). The most common way this occurs is for the opposition party to retain control of the Congress.
Another factor may be control of the Supreme Court by persons espousing views similar to the President's political opposition, with the Court counteracting legislative proposals of the president, to the point sometimes--as with Franklin Roosevelt's more radical "New Deal" proposals--of discarding them altogether as "unconstitutional" (Palumbo 300-50).
At other times, the major watering-down factor may be a major scandal. This happened to the administration of Warren Harding and, to a lesser extent, William Howard Taft's administration. These two Presidents found that, although they'd won fairly big and had some degree of Congressional control, a major scandal investigation prevented their administrations from performing their stated goals. (Palumbo 300-50).
In the administration of Richard Nixon, scandal even caused the resignation of the President. Other, earlier presidents, including Grant, Hayes and Garfield, were plagued by repeated scandals that forced them on the political defensive even as it had seemed they had won control of the Congress as well as the White House. But a President plagued by scandal often finds himself deserted by his own party, including its members in the Congress, who proceed to distance themselves from him by not supporting his favored legislative actions (Palumbo 300-50).
Still another watering-down factor is the presence of powerful third parties on the political scene. Although the elections of 1860, 1912 , 1968, 1980 and 1992 are perhaps among the most obviously affected by third parties, many other elections have been influenced by third parties to some extent (Palumbo 300-50; "Presidential Election Returns," World Almanacs 1969-1997).
Even the seeming landslide 1936 election was affected by the "ghost" of the third party of Huey P. Long, a popular independent party candidate shot just as the campaign was getting underway. Long's third party had taken positions somewhat different from those of either of the major parties. After his death, the Roosevelt campaign modified some positions to match those held by Long. At the same time, Long's supposed political "successors" broke up into two or three large groups whose primary influence was to keep a number of persons from voting at all. Even in 1936, when FDR stomped Alf Landon, a third party was an influence (Palumbo 300-50).
By 1938, FDR increased his clout over the Supreme Court by demonstrating his political popularity. But that same year, FDR lost ground slightly in the Congress. By 1940, war was looming and FDR's presidential campaign, though successful, encountered much more difficulty. This had the effect of bracing the Supreme Court's conservatives once more. Thus, even in the case of FDR, a virtual political superman, there were watering-down factors. First the Supreme Court stymied his efforts; then the threat of Long's third party loomed; then there was some loss of ground in the Congress, followed by the threat presented by Republican-based Isolationism in 1938, as Europe went to war, and then, at the time of FDR's third victory in 1940, war was imminent (Palumbo 300-50).
Other factors that have in the past had a watering down influence on the victory of a president and his party, have been the geographic region of the states carried and the home region of the candidate. In both 1976 and 1980, I saw these watering-down factors. Jimmy Carter, victorious in 1976, had barely squeaked in in the popular vote and carried an identity as a conservative Southern Democrat from Georgia and carried a number of Southern states. In 1980, a defeated Carter had carried a southern as well as a border state. There was also a lot of third party activity, with the parties of John Anderson, Ed Clark, the Libertarian, ecologist Barry Commoner and the Socialist Labor Party, between them, probably deciding the election, at least in the Electoral College ("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanacs, 1969-94).
So, as I began to examine the data from the 1980 election, it was clear that Reagan had not won the "mandate" that he'd called for. Although he won control of the Senate, the Supreme Court remained more moderate than Reagan in its views for several years after this election. The Democrats retained the House, though they hardly had what could be called "working" majority on many issues. Incidents like the "convenient" death of Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Senator from Washington state, during the off-year elections, and the retirement of Independent Senator Harry Byrd of Virginia and his replacement by a Republican after an odd three-way Senatorial race, added to Reagan's strength as his first two years in office progressed and he'd recovered from the assassination attempt. ("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanacs, 1969-94). Reagan seemed to gain additional strength, not from overwhelming popularity, but through conveniently-timed deaths and retirements. The Democrats gained seats in the 1982 Congressional elections as Reagan dropped in the polls until mid-1984.("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanacs, 1969-94).
However, I stared long and hard at the outcome of the subsequent Presidential election of 1984. To frame 1984 better, I looked at the results of the 1986 and '88 elections. There, I again saw the usual, powerful watering-down factors. Although Bush defeated Dukakis in the Presidential race alone, Dukakis carried ten states, including a border state, West Virginia. A number of third parties also appeared on the scene. In addition, the Democrats, already having won control of both house of Congress, now retained and increased their majority. Thus, Bush was a watered-down victor in 1988. ("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanac, 1989).
Further along, in 1992, Clinton, a Democrat somewhat associated with the conservative South, defeated Bush in a three-way race probably decided by the third party of Ross Perot. He carried control of the Congress, but for only two years. Also, the Supreme Court had by this time become very conservative, though Clinton did get to name two new members to it. In 1996, Clinton repeated the pattern so common since Truman and Eisinhower: a President of one party, a Congress of another. And again Perot's third party was an important factor, though perhaps not as pivotal as in 1992. ("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanacs, 1969-97).
In the case of Reagan in 1984, such factors are also present, but not strongly enough, given his standing in the polls. Reagan retained control of one house of the Congress, and the Democrats' majority in their lone house, the House, was not readily-working one and dropped further during the '84 elections. Reagan seemed also to increase the GOP's political strength in other areas, including in the South and in the Governorships. There was virtually no third party activity that year--in fact, third parties seemed to have disappeared. ("Presidential Election Returns," World Almanac, 1985).
At the same time, the Supreme Court, too, seemed to be moving in Reagan's direction. He had the opportunity to name more new conservative members. Not until 1986 did a scandal--the Iran-Contra scandal--appear which politically and legally threatened the Reagan Administration.
Iran-Contra hurt Reagan because it shook the public's image of him as super-patriot. After having set himself up a "hawk" and tough-liner with nations overseas, Reagan now appeared to be willing to bargain with terrorists in a most ignominious fashion. He dropped in the polls, and though his spin-control experts tried to make the best of his fall from grace in the media, he never really recovered.
The only other watering-down factor I've seen in the case of Reagan was one which is similar to that which effected the administrations of Theodore Roosevelt and, to a lesser extent, that of Garfield's successor: an assassination or assassination attempt. The shooting of William McKinley helped propel Teddy Roosevelt into the spotlight and into greater popularity--just the JFK shooting did LBJ.Reagan was disabled from March, 1981 until August of that year by a would-be assassin's bullet. In that sense, he was "watered down," in that he couldn't as effectively govern over his newly-elected majority in the Senate. This assassination attempt--and its failure--may have strengthened Reagan politically in the subsequent 1984 election. The public may simply have wanted to express gladness that for once a president had survived an assassination attempt, especially an Irishman. Some may also have wanted to ensure that an Irishman was, for once, re-elected.
But such factors, or even his vice-president's scandal, Iraq-gate, in his subsequent administration, don't fully satisfy the criteria of "watering down factors." Even though some embarassment and even a few resignations and successful prosecutions resulted from both the Iran-Contra and Iraq-gate/BCCI investigations, major convictions were not achieved. And the general political drift of the administrations, though affected, was not affected quite enough.
Somehow, there was something missing, something that was not being said. In later years, I was to read how Bush had practically become president from the day Reagan was shot, but that this had been hidden from the public. Perhaps this secret, "unofficial" presidency in some ways was a watering-down factor to Reagan's Administration. However, there were important things that were not being said in the media. There was a popularity being claimed for this president, yet there was a feeling of fakeness about the whole thing. I never stopped feeling like there was something being covered up.
I believe I happened to discover a source that announced that missing element, that covered-up thing. We have had a traitor Vice-President. Nelson Rockefeller, we now know, betrayed America during World War II , say Loftus and Aarons (250-70). And I believe my mysterious book ad source had felt they discovered that our recent President George Bush committed an act tantamount to treason during World War II. It is the discovery of this latter fact--and its publication--which could be a final watering-down factor for the 1984 election.
Certainly, Loftus and Aarons reveal a number of Reagan-Bush activities that serve to water down the 1984 election to some extent, anyway. On May 15, 1984, Vice-President George Bush, acting under unprecedented authority granted him by the Reagan Cabinet, established a surveillance of virtually the entire Jewish community in the United States. (Loftus and Aarons 419-24). Such surveillance was undoubtedly one reason why Reagan/Bush triumphed so heavily in the 1984 election. This was used along with "walking around money" to bribe African-American ministers from providing rides to the polls for members of their congregations, especially in New Jersey. Also used were the now-famous "network projections" that seemed to "call" the 1984 election too soon, possibly intimidating some Western state voters, as well as additional and probably illegal FBI surveillance of Contra opponents, including the Maryknoll Sisters, an order of Catholic nuns. Certainly these groups, though relatively small in mainstream American politics, nevertheless are important and the discovery of cheating against them is a powerful watering-down factor.
To really be watered-down, however, Reagan/Bush would have had to have engaged in something damaging to middle class, WASP America. Patriotism is an important issue to white, middle class America.
Patriotism is also a favorite issue of the Far Right. Certainly, Reagan played it to the hilt as he courted that Far Right. He espoused a strong military, took a tough line in foreign relations, spent huge amounts on weaponry and claimed credit for defeating Russia in the Cold War. Accusing liberals of being "soft" on the patriotism issue, he rode roughshod over their social programs as part of his so-called "defense build-up."
No one can claim the patriotism issue forever, however. Sooner or later, the truth was told about James Forrestal, William Farrish, Allen and John Foster Dulles, Nelson Rockefeller, William Draper and George Bush's father, Prescott Bush, sr. They and their company, Standard Oil, engaged in treason against the U.S. government during the Second World War. Along with other present-day flag-wavers, including the millionaire Hunt brothers of Texas, they tried to betray America to the German-Japanese Axis. The money they could get for their oil from those two enemy nations was far more important to them than their own nation, and especially the wishes of the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, a President several of them had actually plotted to kill in 1934. (Litchfield 130).
What I "learned," in Houston in the Fall of 1980, however, was even more shocking than the discovery of those other treasons. That radio ad alleged that Prescott Bush's illegal machinations involved his son, George. As a Naval pilot in the war, George would have acted as an illegal courier to Japan for his father's company, Standard Oil.
With the help of a number of highly-placed people, including Secretary of the Navy Forrestal, George Bush allegedly delivered Allen Dulles's and Standard Oil's illegal messages to the Japanese. (See "We Will Exterminate Them," and "Get Mad, George!"--as well as "Tojo Out," among other chapters, for more details).
This would have been not only illegal, but highly illegal. Done totally behind the back of President Roosevelt, and, it would therefore, be covered up for years and years. Its cover-up, if fact, was a major reason why George Bush became President of the United States. It was the only way he could rest easily about the problem.
This, if fact, means George Bush not only took actions against blacks, Jews and Western state voters, bad as those were. He'd also have betrayed Middle Class WASP America in the midst of World War II. While its sons were fighting against the Japanese, he was allegedly a part of some bargaining process with Japan.
When we hear Reagan or Bush today talk about the patriotism issue, must we, therefore, now re-think the situation? Many years have gone by since those summer days in 1944 when Allen Dulles, as Loftus and Aarons tell us, connived to sneak his wealth out of Nazi-occupied Europe into Japanese-occupied Manchuria, keep Russia out of alliance with America against Japan and re-arrange the very order of enemies of World War II to become Allies and Axis versus Russia. It was as a part of Dulles's machinations that Standard Oil used Bush as a courier to Japan in that summer of 1944. (For more details, see "TOJO OUT".)
After all these years, a final, shocking truth could finally be told. Only now, Reagan seemingly massive 1984 landslide may be watered down, not by contemporary events, but by the history books themselves. And this seemingly sordid tidbit will change the history books, not only because of its shocking nature, but because of the massive cover-up it may reveal. Only by becoming Vice-President, then Acting President, then President of the United States, could George Bush ensure he wasn't tried for treason against all of America, including white, middle-class, Protestant America and its sons.
An almost equally shocking scenario, could be a "politically true" one, in which, while the charge itself was not true, it was presented at a crucial juncture in a political campaign year, in order to pressure or manipulate Bush to take an action which some desperate group needed, perhaps by exploiting knowledge obtained from Bush himself at an earlier time when he joined some secret organization, such as Licio Gelli's "P2", as described by Barbara Honnegar, as part of an "October Surprise".
If either of these scenarios explains the appearance, then disappearance, of the radio ad and the book to which it referred, then history may indeed reveal more undercurrents in all our lives. If something more conventional turns out to be the answer, as I also explore, there is still some story to be told of the epic search and the psychological and perhaps metaphysical side of George H. W. Bush--and of this Universe in which we live.

If you find this list of sources inadequate--and some have indicated they did--I invite you to visit my Bibliography, Annotated Bibliography, and Updated Annotated Bibliography for additional and backup sources. I would like to note here, for the record, given the critiques I've received on this point, that there is a massive amount of data, not easily accessible, to be processed here. It has required more than one round of edits to my sources. The actual information you will find regarding this, is voluminous. The Annotated Bibliography alone, for example, will stretch over several web pages, as you will see when you visit it.
The fact is, regardless of whether the original book ad's claim was legitimate, it is clear there has ended up being something unusual about GHW Bush's records in WW2. This strongly indicates that Bush was not "regular military" but was, rather, in the OSS, fore-runner of the CIA. A series of things suggests this, including:
How did he get into the Navy as a pilot at 18, when regulations set a minimum age of 21 for pilots? On top of that, why was he made a reconnaisance pilot at the age of 19?
Why are the page numbers so "funny looking" regarding his flight of June, 1944, off Guam? Why was he taken aboard the USS Lexington after a seemingly innocuous water landing in the midst of the US fleet? How did Bush know where to locate rear-admiral Kauffman, even if it was only to deliver the wedding invite described by Stinnett?
What was going on at Palau, regarding reconnaisance photos Bush took? There seems to have been a reprimand issued, then apparently more or less withdrawn, regarding Bush's captioning of the recon. photos he took. Was there a discrepancy between OSS rules and Navy rules regarding such?
Why are dates missing from squadron commander records regarding his flight at Chi Chi Jima? Why, in fact, do they appear to have been removed? Why do official Marine flight records say there were "no carrier-based raids against Chi Chi Jima between July 4, 1944 and February, 1945," if Bush's squadron attacked Chi Chi Jima September 2, 1944? Why does the log of the USS Finnback, not have a mention of Bush until October 1944?
In 1959, while Allen Dulles was still CIA head, Bush's ship the "Barbara" was described in an FBI memo as "a CIA asset". The wording does not suggest this was a brand-new affiliation for the ship.
As you read through this Site, and these sources, you have to wonder: what are, and what is the nature of, the undercurrents in all our lives? In history? In politics? In the possibly metaphysical? What is Synchronicity? What is the Unconscious or subconscious? What "powers" does it have?
Gerald K. Haines, in his work on the CIA's investigation of UFOs, (cited elsewhere on the Site and in my sources), has been able to confirm that CIA personnel sometimes impersonated Air Force personnel in the 1940s, '50s and '60s. They did so, in these instances, by interviewing alleged UFO witnesses to try to determine if UFO sightings were related to the U-2 or other reconnaisance craft. These conversations fed into the ongoing books and articles at NICAP and elsewhere regarding "Air Force" visitors to UFO witnesses.
Since the CIA impersonated Air Force personnel, why should Navy personnel have been exempt from being also impersonated by its predecessor, the OSS?
You may want to "qualify" some of my statements in succeeding chapters, from "committed" to "may have committed" or "possibly". But after you weed through all the "may haves", "seemingly's" and "seem to have's" that could or should be added to this massive amount of material, you have to come back to grappling with what all of this suggests.

America has a growing problem with auto loan debt, as the total reached $1.23 trillion in quarter one of 2018. This increase is not surprising as auto loans are used on 85 percent of new car purchases and 53 percent of used car purchases in America.
With auto loans being the third largest form of debt in the United States, many are concerned the rise in default rates will cause a market crash. Accounting for a quarter of all auto loans, subprime lending practices are cited as contributing to this large debt.
However, Americans are still accountable for the rise in auto loans as 95 percent of households own a car and 85 percent of Americans commute to work by automobile.
To determine why auto loan debt is on the rise, we polled over 6,000 Americans to find out how they purchase vehicles. Our study found that:
- 34 percent of Americans think it's better to buy a new car with an auto loan, than a cheap car you can afford.
- 1 in 3 Americans pick an auto loan based off of monthly payment cost, a decision that can come at a high price when scaled with long-term payment plans.
- 1 in 4 Americans would finance a new vehicle with savings.
To determine Americans' likelihood to use auto loans we asked if it is better to purchase a cheap car you can afford or a nice car using a loan.
A cheap car could be a way to save money but the value can diminish with the higher investments in upkeep, repairs and a shorter lifespan. Purchasing a nice car with a loan brings added debt, however the quality of the vehicle is better with a higher resale value and a lower investment in repairs.
66 percent of Americans say that purchasing a cheaper car you can afford is better than purchasing a nice car with a loan. Purchasing a car you can afford out of pocket still leaves a lot of options in the used car industry for many Americans.
A Consumer Reports study found that 71 percent of Americans will consider purchasing a late model used car as an alternative to a new car. Although purchasing a car used comes with the risks of not being covered by warranties, this choice can cut down on initial costs.
Additionally, as automobiles are valued by their quality, purchasing a cheap car could turn into a lot of mechanical work and a shorter lifespan, which is why the remaining 34 percent of Americans likely think it is better to buy a nice car with a loan.
Although financing options are available for people purchasing a new vehicle, the added price to the car through interest and fees can be steep, with the average annual percentage rate (APR) for car loans sitting at around 4.75 percent in the United States.
1 in 4 Americans say they would finance a new vehicle with savings.
Although taking out an auto loan is a steep investment, 42 percent of Americans say that it would be their main source of financing a new vehicle. A surprising 26 percent of Americans would predominantly use their savings to purchase a new vehicle, and 17 percent would use their car's trade-in value.
Only 7 percent of Americans reported that they would predominantly turn to leasing options for financing a new car. Auto leases account for nearly 30 percent of all cars in America, and they do not lead to a full purchase of a vehicle. Auto leases are typically cheaper than auto loans, however, you do not eventually own the car. Instead, you are paying to borrow the car from a car dealership and cannot use the car later for trade-in.
When it comes to finding an auto loan, Americans should shop around to find the lenders who offer the best deal on total interest paid. Total interest paid should arguably be the most important factor when it comes to picking out an auto loan as it is the total amount of money you will pay on top of the price of the car. When we polled over 2,000 Americans on how they shop for cars and look at auto loans, only 21 percent responded that total interest paid is their top priority.
Although the most important metric when shopping for a car loan is the total interest paid, 35 percent of Americans report that monthly payments are a top priority. This priority comes a cost though, given that a salesperson will often calculate your monthly payment using the longest term available.
Only 8 percent of Americans think about length of term when shopping for auto loans.
A study by Edmonds found that the two areas where new car advertisements are the most misleading are with the monthly payments and the annual percentage rates on their car financing. With tendencies to advertise a low monthly payment or annual percentage rate over a longer term, these aspects of auto loans are often misleading. As the average auto loan payoff term rises, more Americans are accepting loans with payoff terms of 84 months or longer, making monthly payments a costly prioritization that can last over seven years.
You may also end up paying out-of-pocket fees if your car is totaled or stolen during this extensive payment period. Standard auto insurance policies generally cover the car's market value at the time of the claim. This means you can end up with an out-of-pocket expense depending on how old your car is and how far along you were with your payments. Taking out gap insurance is an option to consider since it pays for the difference between the car's value and reamining balance of the loan or lease.
Is picking a car based on the monthly payment bad?
Picking an auto loan based off of monthly payments can be convenient when factoring it into your current budget, but it leaves out a lot of important long-term factors. Monthly payments can get out of hand, and if any unexpected emergencies come up that disrupt your monthly budget, it can become difficult to make payments. With a record 6.3 million Americans 90 days late on auto loan payments, there is a problem with advertising car financing based on monthly payments, as falling behind can lead to long term debt.
Our poll also found that men are more likely to pick an auto loan based off APR. 31 percent of men responded that APR was the most important factor of their choice, whereas only 25 percent of women responded the same way.
Annual percentage rate is a good measurement when comparing auto loans, but it still leaves out the important factor of length of term. A lower APR could come with a longer length of term, therefore it does not completely show you your total cost.
As auto loan debt climbs in America there is a growing need to promote proper lending education and best practices. For the 25 percent of Americans who take out subprime loans to finance a vehicle purchase, there are other options to lower your total interest paid.
Getting a loan with bad credit can lead to a higher annual percentage rate and a higher total interest paid. Anyone taking out an auto loan to finance a vehicle purchase must remember it's important to take steps to research your credit options first. This will help you make the smartest financial decision when taking out an auto loan or making regular car payments to keep you out of debt.
