Citigroup April 1st warning - get out while you can!

Citigroup Settlement

Citigroup

We pointed out way back on November 11, 2008 that Citigroup had been taken over by Indians.  We have nothing against Indians, but their way of running a business is not what most Americans would expect – Indian management appears to be more honest.

A new advisory being sent by Citigroup to its account holders could be in preparation for a Depression-style bank run if the economy takes a turn for the worse (which is now the case).

“Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts.  While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change.”

A corresponding advisory can be read on page 23 of Citbank’s Client Manual effective January 1, 2010, which can be read here from Citibank’s own website.

Withdrawal Notice
We reserve the right to require seven (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking, savings and money market accounts.  We currently do not exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past.

In a “clarification,” of dubious origin, Citibank supposedly stated:

“When Citibank moved to unlimited FDIC coverage in 2009, we had to reclassify many checking accounts to allow for immediate withdrawals in order to ensure all customers qualified for the additional coverage.  When we moved back to standard FDIC coverage with most major banks in 2010, Citibank decided to reclassify those accounts back to make them eligible again for promotional incentives.  To do so, Federal Reserve Reg D requires these accounts, called NOW accounts, to reserve the right to require a 7-day notice of withdrawal.  We recently communicated this technical requirement to our customers.  However, we have never exercised this right and have no plans to do so in the future.”

Whether or not Citibank actually made this statement, it is true that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which guarantees individual accounts up to $100,000, only has about $50 billion to “insure” about $1 trillion in assets across the nation’s financial institutions.

That’s only about 5% of the total deposits out there.

Maybe Citigroup’s Indian management is more truthful than the good-old-boys they replaced.

Lying to the American people

Ben Bernanke - Spin Doctor

Ben Bernanke - Spin Doctor

The 2/25/2010 Unemployment Insurance Weekly Claims Report for the U.S. Department of Labor states the following: In the week ending Feb. 20, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 496,000, an increase of 22,000 from the previous week’s revised figure of 474,000.

The very next day, on 2/26/2007, the U.S. Commerce Department increases its “reading” of fourth-quarter gross domestic product to an annual growth rate of 5.9 percent, rather than the 5.7 percent pace it estimated last month.

The unemployment increases and the U.S. Commerce Department says the growth rate is increasing – yeah, sure.

The U.S. Spin Doctors claim such reasons for the “end of the recession” as “new orders for factories to fill inventory” – yeah, sure.

Seventy five percent (75%) of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending.

Add to the 496,000 people losing their jobs, the 100,000 new people coming into the workforce every month, and the total comes to 596,000 – essentially 600,000 less consumers. And the economy is growing?

The loss of 600,000 consumers every month is all the proof needed that the recession Great Depression II rolls on – and on.

Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi

“Pass the Healthcare Bill,” says Nancy Pelosi, “and we will create 400,000 new jobs” – yeah, sure.

What’s a one-time shot at 400,000 jobs, when 600,000 become unemployed every month, Nancy?

Spin on, Nancy – just keep lying to the American people.

In testimony, on 2/24/2010, about monetary policy before the House Financial Services Committee  Bernanke noted that the recession continues to abate, but not when it comes to the job market, which “has been hit especially hard,” he said.

Huh? Continues to abate? But not when it comes to the job market?

Does Bernanke make any sense at all?

Spin on, Ben – just keep lying to the American people.

Barney Frank & fondled friend

Barney Frank & fondled friend

At the hearing, House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass said “It is possible to debate what is the best way to do the stimulus, but no sensible human being can deny that the stimulus had a positive effect.”

Spin on, Barney – just keep lying to the American people.

Then, to reinforce the spin, Frank asked Bernanke, specifically, whether stimulus helped stem job losses.

Bernanke answered “Yes,I think most economists would agree that the stimulus created jobs, relative to the baseline,” Bernanke said.

Relative to the baseline – what’s that?

That’s spin – lying to the American people.

The crimes of Geithner, Paulson, and Goldman Sachs

Goldman's man Timothy Geithner

Goldman's man Timothy Geithner

A day after facing furious lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told CNN on Thursday that he would forever “carry the burden” of the decision to bail out AIG but defended it as the government’s only option.

The following is how, with the help of Geithner, and Paulson, Goldman Sachs made tens of billions of dollars from the economic collapse of America in six easy steps:

  1. Goldman Sachs sells mortgage-related securities that are worthless junk to trusting clients at vastly overinflated prices.
  2. Goldman bets (with short sales) against those same mortgage-related securities that it sold so that Goldman and its CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, will make massive profits when the U.S. economy and housing market tanks (dragging down the American middle class and workers with it).
  3. Position Goldman friends in key positions of power in the US government – namely ex-Goldman CEO, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Fed Chief Ben Bernanke, and Tim Geithner.
  4. Let Paulson, Bernanke, and Geithner funnel billions of bailout money secretly through AIG to Goldman to finance Goldman’s bets against the housing market (and against American homeowners).
  5. Have Treasury Secretary Paulson drive Goldman Sachs and Blankfein’s main competitor, Lehman Brothers, into bankruptcy and out of business. After getting the word from Secretary Paluson at 8:00am on the morning of September 15, 2008, the day that Lehman filed for bankruptcy, Geithner made some interesting telephone calls.  Geithner telephoned Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman’s CEO,  at 8:40am, at 9:16am, and at 10:01am. Why was Geithner telephoning, Blankfein, someone in private business? It was to share the good news with Blankfein that his main rival, Lehman, had been done in by Secretary Paulson. Geithner’s telephone records have been made a matter of public record, is how we know this.
  6. Collect the profits – Goldman Sachs is having their “most successful year” and will end up reporting approximately $50 billion in revenue for 2009 and Blankfein will get $68 million for the year.

 

Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman CEO

Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman CEO

Currently, Paulson is spouting the unsupported figure that the US would be at 25% unemployment, had he not bailed out his friends. Geithner is saying much of the same. Without these two (and their stooge, Obama), they maintain falsley that the US would be in the throes of another Great Depression.

Paulson and Geither have engineered the greatest transfer of wealth of all time – from the American people to Blankfein’s Goldman and friends. The American people are left to pay Wall Street’s outrageous bonuses.

Don’t expect Geithner, Paulson, and company to be punished by the law. We are in an age when Marc Rich was forgiven a $100 million debt to the IRS. Marc Rich’s lawyer was Eric Holder, now the US Attorney General.

Don’t expect Obama to do anything about these crooks. His State of the Union address was filled with praise and excuses for the work of Geithner, and Paulson. Obama is nothing but a puppet

All Obama has done is what he was told to do – raise the federal debt ceiling from 12 to 14 trillion dollars -  in part, to pay bonuses to those like Blankfein who caused America’s financial meltdown.

As any person who has managed a business can tell you, Obama is a shirker. Shirkers are easy to spot – they are always on the move – always appearing to work. No sooner than the State of the Union address is over than Obama is off to his favorite refuge – Air Force One – off to read another teleprompter speech -  a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

So what to do? Well, you might organize a Tea Party for Blankfein, or pay him a visit.

Pay him a visit? Where does he live? As with most celebrities, Blankfein’s residence(s) are shrouded in secrecy. We can’t guarantee it, but below is where we think he lives, and street directions on how to get there.

Just one word of warning – it is reported that Goldman Sachs employees are arming themselves with pistols, so consider Blankfein to be armed and dangerous.

  1. Properly dressed, start your journey on Park Ave, New York City, just like you are another Lloyd Blankfein.
  2. Head toward E 33rd St.
  3. Swing a right at E 34th St.
  4. Take a left at NY-495 E/Tunnel Entrance St, Continue to follow NY-495 East.
  5. Take a leasurely ride on I-495 East. Imagine that you are as rich as Blankfein.
  6. Take exit 68 to merge onto Suffolk County 46 S/William Floyd Pkwy toward Shirley.
  7. Make a careful slight right to merge onto NY-27 E toward Montauk.
  8. Turn right at Tuckahoe Road – now things are getting ritzy.
  9. Then take the 2nd left onto County Rd 80 East – you are almost at the Blankfein’s house – act natural.
  10. Try to look like high-class folke as you continue slowly onto Hill Street – don’t get nervous – be calm.
  11. Turn right at 1st Neck Lane, and OMG! Blankfein’s house will be on the left at 340 1st Neck Ln, Southampton, NY 11968.

Good luck, and may the force be with you!

Queen for a day, President for a year

 

Charlie (the puppet) Obama and Joe the Plumber

Charlie (the puppet) Obama and Joe the Plumber

The Massachusetts election of Scott Brown to the US Senate marks the end of the Obama presidency. Obama was in charge for just one short year.

Obama’s first mistake was to bring in Goldman Sachs in the form of Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, and his Goldman Sachs cronies to spread TARP money to Goldman Sachs, and more TARP money (secretly) to Goldman Sachs through AIG.

That done, Obama decided to put all his bets on the healthcare bill, or, rather, his “people” decided.

In no time, the healthcare bill was reduced to nothing more than a bonanza for the health insurance companies. Obama still pushed for its passage – so he could claim it to be a victory, instead of a defeat – which is what it really was.

With the election of Scott Brown, which amazed only Obama, and the defection of Democrats from Obama’s burning ship, no on is talking about the healthcare bill – it is dead and gone.

Now, Obama’s reaction is to run from the influence of Timothy Geithner to become a follower of Joe the Plumber. The banks which were good and “too big to fail,” are now bad.

It is Obama the follower, and not Obama the leader. In one short year, Obama’s first and last term as President is over.

Sure, Obama can strut around, and give speeches, characteristically raising his chin and looking down his nose at the rest of us. He can still shirk by flying around in Air Force One, which he loves to do.

But all of that won’t put humpty dumpty Obama together again.

As a result, Timothy Geithner will get the gate and a chance for a big job at Goldman Sachs. Support is withering for Fed chief Ben Bernanke, who will also have a chance for a big job at Goldman Sachs.

Hillary will stick around for a while to bolster her credentials, before leaving to prepare to defeat Obama and become the 2012 Democratic nominee for President.

Michelle Obama - Queen for a day

Michelle Obama - Queen for a day

Let’s not forget Michelle Obama. She was Queen for a Day at Obama’s inauguration. Now, the rumor is that Michelle wants Hillary out, along with Oprah.

And who is in? Joe the Plumber is in.

So, what’s next, folks?

Fed chief Ben Bernanke says the recession is over.

Whoa! With the tanking stock market, and rising unemployment, what can be next – other than a recession, or the next Great Depression.

Haiti - Wimps to the rescue!

Haiti's unarmed rioters - more than a match for the US marines?

Haiti's unarmed rioters - more than a match for the US marines?

I have been to Haiti – stayed in a nice hotel on the Boulevard Harry Truman, right off the beach.

The drive from the airport to the hotel was short – it’s only about 10 miles. The road is lined with shanty towns – not tall buildings that can collapse and block the highway. It is a very very easy drive.

From what it looks like today, that drive from the airport to the center of Haiti could be a million miles. While only a short distance away, people suffer and die, and anarchy reigns, the US Marines and the Haitian president dare not venture from the safety of the airport.

Even the brave and dashing Geraldo Rivera remains at the airport’s safe haven (while he sends his second-dog brother into town).

Supplies that were sent sit idly at the airport.

Fox News is now shifting the blame to the Haitian government – a government without a single important building left standing.

Troops have not been assigned to help deliver water or guard medical facilities, but are doing little fearing the wrath of an unarmed people, who have heard for days about aid and money donated, and then seeing nothing. (And these US troops are going to free Afghanistan?)

Greg Palast points to some facts that the TV networks that are ignoring as they milk Haiti’s pain in an orgy of self-congratulatory reporting:

  • China deployed rescuers with sniffer dogs within 48 hours. China, Mr. President. China: 8,000 miles distant. Miami: 700 miles close. US bases in Puerto Rico: right there.
  • Obama’s Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, “I don’t know how this government could have responded faster or more comprehensively than it has.” We know Gates doesn’t know.
  • Send in the Marines. That’s America’s response. That’s what we’re good at. The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson finally showed up after three days. With what? It was dramatically deployed — without any emergency relief supplies. It has sidewinder missiles and 19 helicopters.
  • But don’t worry, the International Search and Rescue Team, fully equipped and self-sufficient for up to seven days in the field, deployed immediately with ten metric tons of tools and equipment, three tons of water, tents, advanced communication equipment and water purifying capability. They’re from Iceland.
  • Gates wouldn’t send in food and water because, he said, there was no “structure … to provide security.” For Gates, appointed by Bush and allowed to hang around by Obama, it’s security first. That was his lesson from Hurricane Katrina. Blackwater before drinking water.
  • From my own work in the field, I know that FEMA has access to ready-to-go potable water, generators, mobile medical equipment and more for hurricane relief on the Gulf Coast. It’s all still there.

The Israelis should be added to the list of those who can deliver – working in their field hospitals at night, while the other doctors flee the scene, leaving their victims to die on the operation tables.

Can’t our military wimps drop supplies to the Haitians from the safety of a helicopter, and then return home to the airport for their next square meal?

Well, duh!

If you were a Haitian, wouldn’t you be ready to blow the lid off too?

Singapore – hotbed of terrorists, arms traffickers, and drug lords

After our piece entitled, Singapore – hotbed of terrorists & arms traffickers, the Singapore Straits Times decided it had to make a move.  The Straits Times, Singapore’s Pravda, decided it had to show that it, too, reported on Singapore’s criminal elements.

For this, the Straits Times dusted off a list of Singapore’s Most Wanted – a list of fairly harmless people involved in fraud.  The article is entitled, More Singaporeans on Interpol list. The Straits Times carefully avoided mentioning terrorists, arms traffickers, and those involved with the drug trade in Singapore.  After all, Singapore is squeaky clean, isn’t it?

The Straits Times stated in its article, “While only six suspects went on the Interpol’s red notice in October 2008, the number has now swelled to 18.”

Eighteen – is that all?

Singapore’s Most Wanted included the following desperados.

Ms. Siak Lai Chun - five feet three, supposedly unarmed and not dangerous

Ms. Siak Lai Chun - five feet three, supposedly unarmed and not dangerous

Ms.  Siak Lai Chun, whose trail is not very fresh – fled Singapore in 1997 – 12 years ago.  She “allegedly” (the word The Straits Times used) stole $18.7 million from the bank where she worked.  She would now be 47 years old.  Hey, another 20 years on the run, and she will be 67.  She is five feet three, supposedly unarmed and not dangerous.  Good detective work, Singapore – you’ve only been after her for 12 years.

“Fugitive lawyer David Rasif is featured on it,” States the Straits Times.  David Rasif was last seen in Thailand in 2006 before he disappeared from Singapore with his clients’ money worth millions.

David Rasif, dancing with his wife (a dangerous criminal)

David Rasif (a dangerous criminal?), dancing with his wife

Now, let’s compare Singapore’s list to the Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN) of the U.S.

The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (”OFAC”) of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security of the US.

Let’s look who is on the SDN list from Singapore.

Steven Law (a.k.a.  CHUNG, Lo Ping; a.k.a.  HALIM, Abdul; a.k.a.  LO, Ping Han; a.k.a.  LO, Ping Hau; a.k.a.  LO, Ping Zhong; a.k.a.  LO, Steven; a.k.a.  NAING, Htun Myint; a.k.a.  NAING, Tun Myint; a.k.a.  NAING, U Myint), 3 Shenton Way, #10-01 Shenton House, Singapore, citizen of Burma.

Stephen Law is the son of Burma’s notorious drug lord Lo Hsing Han, who, at one point, was sentenced to death in Burma for drug trafficking.  The United States has refused Stephen Law an entry visa “on suspicion of drug trafficking.”

Singapore's Traders Hotel

Singapore's Traders Hotel (Drug traders?)

Lo Hsing Han’s Asia World (managed by Stephen Law) and the Burmese junta are also partners in Singapore’s luxury Traders Hotel.  The hotel’s November 1996 opening ceremony was attended by the wanted guy, Lo Hsing Han himself.

Steven Law’s Singaporean wife, Cecilia, is also on the SNA list and is the owner of many companies in Singapore.

According to a high-level US government official familiar with the situation, Law’s wife Cecilia Ng operates an underground banking system, and “is a contact for people in Burma to get their drug money into Singapore, because she has a connection to the government.”

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any verifiable photographs of either Stephen Law, nor of his wife, Cecelia – not even any wedding photos.

Others on Singapore’s SNA list, which the Straits Times, chooses to ignore are:

  • Kheng Siang Chew (a.k.a.  CHOU, Hsien Cheng), Singapore citizen.
  • Aik Haw, at The Anchorage, Alexandra Road, Apt.  370G, Cowry Building, Singapore, is a Burmese citizen.
  • TEZA (a.k.a.  TAYZA; a.k.a.  ZA, Tay; a.k.a.  ZA, Te; a.k.a.  ZA, U Tay; a.k.a.  ZA, U Te), 6 Cairnhill Circle, Number 18-07, Cairnhill Crest Singapore, is a citizen of Burma.
  • U Kyaw Thein, 503 Sembawang Road, #02-29, Singapore is a citizen of Burma and a permanent resident of Singapore.

For those of you who wish the visit the SNA website, and take a look for themselves – click here.

Meanwhile, Friday is Singapore’s day for hanging the drug couriers – but only the little guys, the “mules” who carry small loads for the big  guys.

Singapore – hotbed of terrorists & arms traffickers

Balldev Naidu from his FaceBook page

Balldev Naidu from his FaceBook page

Singaporean Balldev Naidu has been extradited to the U.S.

On Friday, December 18th, 2009, Balldev Naidu was extradited to the U.S. to face terrorism charges. God Bless America! It is about time that at least some of Singapore’s alleged arms traffickers be brought to justice.

Hopefully, the U.S. will investigate Balldev Naidu’s Facebook friends, including his supporter, friend, and partner, Singapore Reform Party boss, Kenneth Jeyaretnam and his brother, lawyer Philip Jeyaretnam of Rodyk and Davidson.

Balldev Naidu is not the only person in Singapore who is wanted for terrorist acts.

Indeed, there are others – people whose terrorist acts are apparently condoned and enabled by the Singapore government, where arms trafficking is big business.

Singapore’s arms traffickers

Mrs. Laura Wang-Woodford, a Singapore Permanent Resident, is an owner of Singapore-based aviation company, Monarch Aviation (Pte) Ltd.

Laura Wang-Woodford was arrested on December 23, 2007, at the San Francisco International Airport after arriving on a flight from Hong Kong.

Laura Wang-Woodford

Laura Wang-Woodford

She and her husband, Brian D. Woodford, also a Singapore Permanent Resident, and chairman of Monarch, were charged in a 20-count indictment on January 15, 2003. They were exporting U.S. arms to Iran – to be used to kill  U.S. soldiers liberating Iraq.

After being detained without bail by the U.S., Ms. Wang-Woodford finally broke down and entered a guilty plea that she illegally exported controlled U.S. commercial aircraft parts from the United States to Monarch in Singapore and then re-exported those items to a company in Tehran, Iran.

On November 5, 2009, she was sentenced to a term in the U.S. federal prison. She is imprisoned at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City, her prison ID is 90584-111, classified as a 65 year old Asian female. This is a temporary holding tank, and she will be transferred at a later date. Given Ms Wang-Woodford’s age, it is doubtful that she will leave prison alive.

Laura Wang-Woodford’s husband, fugitive Brian D. Woodford, is believed to be in Southeast Asia, possibly Singapore. The Woodford’s residence in Singapore is 237 Arcadia Road, #01-03 Arcadia, Singapore 289844.

The Wang-Woodford’s company, Monarch Aviation (Pte) Ltd is located at 133 New Bridge Road, #16-09 Chinatown Point. Singapore 059413.

Their auditor, H. Wee & Co has offices at 15 Tanjong Katong Road, Singapore 436950, telephone +65-6744-5158. Wong Tze Roy, a director of Monarch, is a Singapore Citizen (ID S6916469), and lives at 221 Bishan Street 23 #03-171, Singapore 570221.

On May 22, 2008, the  U.S. also indicted Wang-Woodford and her husband, Brian Woodford, for operating  Jungda International Pte. Ltd (”Jungda”), a Singapore-based successor to Monarch.

Brian Woodford

Brian Woodford

The Woodfords attempted to hide behind Jungda which is located at 336 Smith Street, #05-303 New Bridge Centre, Singapore 050336. Yeo Tiong Leng, a Singaporean (ID S0231994b) of 209 Bukit Batok Street 21 #11-174, Singapore 650209 is a shareholder and director and Chong Gek Sing, a Singapore citizen, (ID S0108901C), 161 Mei Ling Street#16-315, Singapore 140161, is the corporate secretary of Jungda.

And the list of Singapore’s terrorists goes on:

On Oct 8, 2009, in Minneapolis, United States District Court Chief Judge Michael Davis sentenced Jian Wei Ding, 51, of Singapore, to 46 months in prison and two years of supervised release.  Kok Tong Lim, 37, of Singapore, was sentenced to just over one year of confinement and two years of supervised release because of his cooperation in the investigation of illegally exporting sensitive materials to China via Singapore.

There are others, Indodial Pte Ltd, Multicore, etc. – many others.

How Singapore arms traffickers operate

The arms trade passing through Singapore is made possible by the issuance of false Singapore End-User Certificates.

Let’s explain.

The parties in an honest arms deal will file an End-User Certificate, noting what is being sold, who is selling it and to whom it is being sold. There is an understanding that the receiving party does not intend to transfer the weapons to a third country. For arms you need a valid End-User Certificate to obtain an export license from the U. S.

Singapore End-User Certificate

Singapore End-User Certificate - Click to expand

It would be possible, however, to obtain a false End-User Certificate by bribing an official in Singapore and then allowing the shipment of arms to pass through Singapore on its way to a third country, like Iran. In this case, Singapore must also allow the re-export of the arms.

According to Kathi Austin, Director of the Arms and Conflict Program in San Francisco, “Singapore imports a lot of weapons from the Waassenar group [of largely European nations], which is supposed to be a self-governing group to control arms trade to prevent wrong use,” Austin said. “But what do they [in Singapore] want with all those weapons? They are a conduit for third-country transfers, which are illicit because basically a country should carry an End-User Certificate and most often that is violated. The weapons are not going to Singapore; they are going to Indonesia, Malaysia and lots of parts of Africa.”

In Singapore, according to our latest information, an End-User Certificate is issued by the Trade Control Branch reporting to the Director-General, Singapore Customs.

Singapore’s End-User Certificate is a simple one-page form – easy to fill out – but don’t be tempted.


Here's Tiger!

 

Here's Tiger!

Here's Tiger!

For me, it all started when I heard KNBR (San Francisco) radio host Ralph Barbieri say: “Talk among the golf media people is that Elin may have broken as many as four of Tiger’s perfect teeth on Thanksgiving night.”

According to Star Magazine, Elin Nordegren confronted Tiger’s alleged mistress, Rachel Uchitel, by phone on Thanksgiving night. Reports claimed Elin yelled at Uchitel: “I know everything.”

Within seconds, Elin and Tiger were involved in a furious fight. As Star reported, “things got so heated Elin threw her cell phone at Tiger, hitting him in the face and breaking his tooth.”

“She then grabbed a golf club and chased him around the house, doing tens of thousands of dollars of damage,” a source close to Tiger told Star. “Tiger ran out to his Escalade barefoot to get away from her” — and was in such a state of panic that he crashed into a fire hydrant and a neighbor’s tree after pulling out of his driveway.

At the scene, Elin gave paramedics two pill bottles one of Ambien and the other Vicodin. Tiger slipped in and out of consciousness, snoring at the scene, clearly under the influence of something – not alcohol.

Tiger Woods’ Mom Kultida and Elin Nordegren’s Mom were at the Florida mansion at time of crash, and appeared moments after Woods ploughed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and then a tree, a neighbor told investigators.

“The cops came, the Windermere cops came first, then the security guards came,” said Kimberly Harris, who lives next door to Woods.

 

Tiger's House of Horrors

Tiger's House of Horrors

Some wag said, “Tiger Woods is the first person in history to run his car into a hydrant and set himself on fire.”

TMZ reported Tiger Woods was admitted to Health Central Hospital for an overdose the day after Thanksgiving. According to sources “connected with the hospital” the admissions chart lists “OD” and that Tiger was having trouble breathing.

Woods was reportedly admitted under an alias – William Smith, which was changed several hours later for fear of leaks.

A couple of days later, on Tuesday, December 8th Elin Nordegren frantically called 911 operators early Tuesday morning. “Oh my god, my mom just collapsed.”  On the recording, you can hear a baby crying in the background – gosh, this is just like the folks who live in the projects.

Elin's Mom - What Really Happened

Elin's Mom - What Really Happened

Shortly thereafter the paramedics arrived and Elin’s Mom was transported to a hospital in yet another celebrity gurney episode.

As if things weren’t bad enough, on Monday, December 14th, Tiger Woods’ estate experienced a “gas pipe rupture,” with police and fire rescue crews being called to the scene. We hope that Tiger wasn’t “taking the pipe” or striking his head in the oven of the gas stove.

Meanwhile, more women continue to join the “I Banged Tiger Club.”

Then this news breaks:

NEW YORK (AP) – A Canadian doctor who has treated golfer Tiger Woods, swimmer Dara Torres and NFL players is suspected of providing athletes with performance-enhancing drugs, according to a newspaper report.

Doctor Anthony Galea

Doctor Anthony Galea

The New York Times reported on its Web site Monday night, December 14th that Dr. Anthony Galea was found with human growth hormone and Actovegin, a drug extracted from calf’s blood, in his bag at the U.S.-Canada border in late September. He was arrested Oct. 15 in Toronto by Canadian police.

Using, selling or importing Actovegin is illegal in the United States.

Galea visited Woods’ home in Florida at least four times in February and March, the newspaper reported, to provide that platelet therapy after his agents were concerned by his slow recovery from June 2008 knee surgery.

Asked about Woods’ involvement with Galea, agent Mark Steinberg told the newspaper in an e-mail: “I would really ask that you guys don’t write this? If Tiger is NOT implicated, and won’t be, let’s please give the kid a break.”

Has Tiger become a bulked up steroid monster? Is he the Barry Bonds of golf? Has Dr. Galea anything to do with Tiger’s great performances on the golf course, and in bed?

Is Tiger gonna hafta give his trophies back?

Stay tuned.

Balldev Naidu’s Facebook Friends

Balldev Naidu from his FaceBook page

Balldev Naidu from his Facebook page

Thanks to one of our loyal readers, we have finally come up with a photograph of Balldev Naidu, Singapore’s alleged terrorist who is awaiting extradition to the United States.

Like the letter in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Purloined Letter, Balldev Naidu’s photograph was hidden in plain site – on his Facebook page.

Alleged Singapore terrorist Balldev Naidu’s Facebook page not only shows us what is said to be his photograph, but gives us a list of his Facebook friends and fellow travelers.

First and foremost among Balldev Naidu’s Facebook friends are Philip and Kenneth Jeyaretnam.

Philip Jeyaretnam has just been appointed to a high post in the unsuspecting government of Singapore. His brother, Kenneth Jeyaretnam is the head of Singapore’s Reform Party, of which Balldev Naidu is a co-founder.

Shortly after it was announced that Balldev Naidu was to be extradited to the United States on six counts terrorism charges, Kenneth Jeyaretnam has come out with a strong statement supporting Balldev Naidu. The Jeyaretnam brothers and Balldev Naidu from a tight, but maybe not so little, group.

Facebook provides an excellent mode of secret communication. Unlike an email, which is easily traceable, a Facebook message to a “friend,” or to a terrorist, is hidden and nearly impossible to find.

In this way, Kenneth Jeyaretman can have secret communications with his Facebook friend, Balldev Naidu, without leaving a trace of it in his, Jeyaretnam’s computer, or in the computer of alleged terrorist, Balldev Naidu.

Facebook is of great value to terrorists due to the fact that its messages do not reside in the computer of the sender or of the recipient.

Currently, Balldev Naidu has 51 Facebook friends. We expect that, after this post is published, that number will diminish.

Below, are photographs of most of Balldev Naidu’s friends, taken from his Facebook page. Remember, it takes two to tango, and you have to give permission to someone who wants to claim you as his Facebook friend.

(We have purposely omitted several of Balldev Naidu’s Facebook friends – we are not out to implicate innocent women and children.)

So, without further comment – here, taken directly from Balldev Naidu’s Facebook page, are the are the Facebook friends of soon to be extradited alleged terrorist, Balldev Naidu.

Obama, Obama, pants on fire

Obama campaigned on a public healthcare option for the American people. Now, according to Senate majority leader, Harry Reid announced that the said Tuesday night that he and a group of 10 Democratic senators had reached “a broad agreement” to cancel the public option.

Instead, the new healthcare bill will let people from 55 to 65 to purchase Medicare for a proposed $550 a month.

This is a far cry from Obama’s “public option,” loosely modeled on what other first-world industrialized countries.

First off, the proposed $550 a month shows a major disconnect between the wealthy nabobs of Washington and the American people. While $550 is dinner money for Harry Reid, or flowers for Nancy Pelosi, it represents a major chunk of whatever income the American uninsured may have.

Of course, if the fine and imprisonment for not being insured is large enough, $550 a month may sound pretty good.

The politicos, and their paymasters from the healthcare industry, contend that American healthcare is far superior to that of countries with “public options.”

Not quite – just look at the figures below to see how far ahead behind America is in its “quality” of healthcare.

America lags far behind other countries, and the situation is getting worse, especially with rising healthcare costs which are totally uncontrolled by that great American myth – competition.

The Great American Healthcare Scam, concocted by Obama and friends, will do little more that deliver 45 million Americans into the clutches of private health insurance companies.

A leading architect of the healthcare scam is sleazy Senator Max Baucus with $4 million in “contributions” from healthcare lobbyists. Baucus’ sleaze even extended to his girlfriend, Melodee Hanesa, for a United States attorney position last March.

But Baucus isn’t the sleaziest guy in town. Obama outsleased Baucus by having his people pull his promised “public option” at the last moment.
