Neteller exec’s arrested

U.S. prosecutors have delivered a severe blow to online gambling companies that are flouting a U.S. ban on Internet gambling by arresting two founders of payment processor NETeller.Britain’s NETeller closed its U.S. Internet gambling services on Thursday, wiping out over 65 percent of its business, after two of its founders were arrested there this week.

NETeller is the latest target of a U.S. crackdown on online gaming, which began with the arrest of BETonSPORTS Chief Executive David Carruthers in Texas last July.

More proof that if the feds cant get a piece of the action, they outlaw it.

LAT Money Center offers mortgages to illegal aliens

LAS VEGAS & ARLINGTON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LAT Money Centers, a Hispanic-owned financial services company, has introduced the industry’s first nationwide financing program for undocumented workers that want to buy homes. This lending program will offer loans to potential homeowners using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) and Matricula Consular IDs in lieu of social security numbers. The company announced the new initiative at the 2006 Hispanic Marketing Convention & Expo hosted by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals this week in Las Vegas.The program will be made available to 14,000 NAHREP members in more than 48 states across the nation. “Recent industry research has shown that Hispanic homeowners are less likely to default on their home loan than other borrowing groups,” said LAT Money Centers COO Samuel Angueira. “The Hispanic community takes pride in home ownership and that results in fewer missed payments, less defaults, and a higher return for investors.”

“NAHREP’s 2004 study estimated that the market potential for these loans is conservatively $44 billion in new mortgages,” said Timothy Sandos, NAHREP President and CEO. “A number of ITIN loan pilot programs have confirmed since then that these type of loans perform as well or better than conforming loans. We applaud LAT Money Centers for being the first lender to make this kind of program available nationwide.”

LAT Money Centers is a Hispanic owned Financial Services Company that provides a variety of financial services and education to the Hispanic and Latino communities. The company is a subsidiary of Latino Bancshares, Inc., a Nevada Corporation based in Arlington, TX. Latino Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries are active in Mortgage and Investment Banking, Insurance, and Real Estate.

If you would like more information concerning the Lat Family of Companies or its ITIN Lending product, please contact Hector Arroyo at the numbers listed below.

Yes, by all means we should contact these people and inform them of the illegality of their program.

Lets take a look at how wrong their program is:

First encouraging an illegal alien to stay in this country is a violation of 1907 Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324

Secondly, LAT plans on having a loan program based upon the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, which according to the IRS is to be used for reporting federal taxes ONLY.

Interestingly enough, the IRS doesn’t even accept the Matricula Consular ID as a valid form of ID to obtain a ITIN.

Furthermore, any bank that does business with an illegal alien is guilty of the crime of money laundering.

I would urge everyone to use the information provided above to contact LAT and let them know how wrong this decision is.

Too funny to ignore

Any story containing the words “nude” and “Waffle House” is guaranteed to be worth the read.

No shirt, no service? What about no clothes at all? A couple that began squabbling in a motel room Friday morning carried their dispute over to an adjacent Waffle House restaurant in the nude, police said.

U.S. ranks #30 in terms of protection of privacy

Courtesy of USA Today

Germany and Canada are the best defenders of privacy and Malaysia and China the worst, an international rights group said in a report released Wednesday.

The United States did only slightly better, at no. 30, ranked between Israel and Thailand, with few safeguards and widespread surveillance, the group said.

Efforts to quash terrorism have eroded individual privacy protections since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, human rights activists have warned. Governments around the world have imposed security and immigration legislation that invades people’s private lives, they say.

In the United States, President Bush’s administration has come under fire for its warrantless domestic wiretapping program, which monitors international phone calls and e-mails to or from the United States involving people suspected by the government of having terrorist links.

I’m surprised we ranked that high and somehow managed to avoid coming in last place. The feds have shown a blatant disregard for our privacy and it seems every day they are coming up with a new excuse to intrude even more into our personal lives.

Study proves Kerry wrong

The Heritage Foundation has released a study that destroys the arguments made by those who claim that the poor, uneducated, and minorities are the majority of those who enlist in the military.

Candyass AWOL soldier runs away again

A U.S. Army soldier who fled to Canada rather than return to Iraq has disappeared again, this time just a day after surrendering to the military.

“I came back in good faith,” Snyder said Wednesday by phone. “I put my trust in them one more time. Why should I put my trust in them again when I can just go back to Canada?”

Why would such an obvious coward enlist in the first place?

Kerry apologizes for remarks

WASHINGTON (AP) – Fearful of damaging his own party in next week’s elections, Sen. John Kerry apologized Wednesday to “any service member, family member or American” offended by remarks deemed by Republicans and Democrats to be insulting to U.S. forces in Iraq.

Lets get real here, this wasn’t an apology, this was a case of Lurch covering both his and the democrats collective asses. Full story available here

Here is what those in uniform had to say about his apology:

John Kerry: Get educated or you will get stuck in Iraq

Alot has already been made of this, and Kerry claims it was a joke that went bad. Whatever the reason for him saying this, he is now paying a heavy price for his comment. Good to see.

Documents reveal ‘shadow government’

Courtesy of World Net Daily:

About 1,000 documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America show the White House is engaging in collaborative relations with Mexico and Canada outside the U.S. Constitution, says WND columnist and author Jerome Corsi.

“The documents give clear evidence that the Bush administration has created a ‘shadow government,'” Corsi said.

The documents can be viewed here, on a special website set up by the Minuteman Project.

Hopefully no one is surprised by this. For those in the dark about whats actually in store for us, I would ask that you go to this government website and do some research: SPP.gov

Military Commissions Act of 2006

Full text of this horrendous law can be found Here.

Great commentary provided on the MCA 2006 provided by Keith Olbermann

There has already been enough discussion about how this law totally destroys habeas corpus, so I thought I would point out just a few of the other dangerous sections of this pile of crap.

First up: Section 950j (b)

PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER SOLE BASIS FOR RE12
VIEW OF MILITARY COMMISSION PROCEDURES AND AC13
TIONS.—Except as otherwise provided in this chapter,
and notwithstanding any other law (including section
2241 of title 28, United States Code, or any other habeas
corpus provision), no court, justice, or judge shall have
jurisdiction to hear or consider any claim or cause of action whatsoever, including any action pending on or filed
after the date of enactment of this chapter, relating to the
prosecution, trial, or judgment of a military commission
convened under this section, including challenges to the
lawfulness of the procedures of military commissions
under this chapter.

What this effectively does is forbid any judge in any court from challenging this law or the legality of it. AG Alberto “Mecha” Gonzales has already warned federal judges not to interfere.

Section 948a (7)

UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANT.—The
term ‘unlawful enemy combatant’ means an individual determined by or under the authority of the
President or the Secretary of Defense

“(A) to be part of or affiliated with a
force or organization—including but not
limited to al Qaeda, the Taliban, any international terrorist organization, or associated
forces—engaged in hostilities against the

United States or its co-belligerents in violation of the law of war;
“(B) to have committed a hostile act
in aid of such a force or organization so engaged; or
“(C) to have supported hostilities in
aid of such a force or organization so engaged

This effectively gives the President & Sec. of Defense the power to delcare anyone and everyone an enemy combatant without providing any evidence whatsoever.

Heres an interview with Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley to further prove this point:

One could go on and on about how detrimental this “law” is to the Constitution but just remember this: They also said the Patriot Act wouldnt be used in cases that didnt involve terrorism. How would they explain this or this ?

Bush Signs U.S.-Mexico Border Fence Bill

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush signed a bill Thursday authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, hoping to give Republican candidates a pre-election platform for asserting they’re tough on illegal immigration.

Election time politics? If Bush was serious about securing the border, he would’ve wanted the entire 2,000+ mile border secured, not just 700 miles. Lets get real here, they couldnt care less if our borders are secured or not. If they actually did care about the future of this nation, they would make this the single most important issue and do everything they possibly can to make our broder secure. Obviously the federal government has failed us once again.

DHS worker says he was punished for reporting illegal immigrants

OKLAHOMA CITY — A state Department of Human Services worker says he was punished for trying to report illegal immigrants who were applying for state benefits.

It’s almost like they want these illegals to continue to steal our tax dollars…

What in the hell is this for?

University Speech Codes

Not really a government thing, but one can only wonder if the feds would try to institute something like this in the name of political correctness.

Courtesy of TheFire.org

• Bowdoin College banned jokes and stories “experienced by others as harassing.”
• Brown University banned “verbal behavior” that produces “feelings of impotence, anger, or disenfranchisement,” whether “intentional or unintentional.”
• Colby College outlawed speech that causes “a vague sense of danger” or a loss of “self-esteem.”
• The University of Connecticut outlawed “inconsiderate jokes,” “stereotyping” and even “inappropriately directed laughter.”
• The University of Buffalo Law School stated that students’ free speech is limited by “the responsibility to promote equality and justice.”
• Syracuse University outlawed “offensive remarks…sexually suggestive staring…[and] sexual, sexist, or heterosexist remarks or jokes.”
• West Virginia University instructed incoming students and faculty that they must “use language that is not gender specific…. Instead of referring to anyone’s romantic partner as ‘girlfriend’ or ‘boyfriend,’ use positive generic terms such as ‘friend,’ ‘lover,’ or partner.’” Until recently, WVU enforced “free speech zones” (in reality, “censorship zones”) that comprised only one percent of the public campus.
• Finally, the University of North Dakota defined as harassment anything that intentionally produces “psychological discomfort, embarrassment, or ridicule” (a category of no small scope).

At first I thought this was a joke, but then I realized this is too stupid to be a joke. You cant make crap like this up.

Out of sheer boredom, I called UCONN and asked them what “inappropriately directed laughter” was. The woman who answered the phone stated that it was “laughter that one may deem derogatory”. I asked her what the hell that meant and she hung up on me.

Congressional Report: 4 to 10 million illegal invaders entered the U.S. in 2005

If Congress knows about this, why arent they acting on it? Think about that….

Supreme Court overturns 9th Circuit (again) and upholds AZ law requiring ID to vote.

Arizona voters will have to present identification at the polls on Nov. 7 after all.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that Arizona can go ahead with requiring voters to present a photo ID, starting with next month’s general election, as part of the Proposition 200 that voters passed in 2004. The ruling overturns an Oct. 5 decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which put the voter ID rules on hold this election cycle.

About damn time. There is no logical reason to now show ID to vote.

You must show an ID to cash a check, rent a movie, or in most places, buy alcohol.

Those opposed must desperately be needing those illegal votes.

OUTRAGE! Border patrol agents sentenced to 11 & 12 years..

For shooting an illegal alien drug smuggler in the ass and failing to report the shooting.

Of course they were wrong for not reporting the shooting and attempting to cover it up. But we are talking about American citizens who deal with threats from illegal invaders on a daily basis.

10,000 refugees from Burundi coming to U.S.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The United States plans to take in about 10,000 Burundian refugees — many of whom fled their landlocked Central African nation as far back as 1972 — from Tanzania, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday.

Lets see, importing 10,000 more 3rd world people who dont speak the language, have never lived in a modern civilized society, and who most likely have no education. Is this really a good idea?

I wonder if they will track them for 5 years and report what percentage of these people have signed up for public assistance or have been convicted of a crime.

I wont be holding my breath….
