My name is Lori Zarlenga- Blaquiere. I was born on September 14, 1961 in the state of Rhode Island. I am writing to you for your immediate help. My life is in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to
assassinate/murder me.

The Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies, among others, are engaged in cover up and carrying out President Bushâ??s orders to assassinate me.

My case is legitimate. Please do not disregard my case.

I have evidence and tapes on top officials and law enforcement among others to support my
claims. The current Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse , Senator Jack Reed and former Senator Lincoln Chafee, among others are covering up and will not help me.

I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.

I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received
comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million
members on their website.


On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.


On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am & 6:00 am a West Warwick
Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public .



I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007, a West Warwick Police vehicle came
up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year
old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger
side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue
West Warwick, R.I.

I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police
vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back
seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son .


The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West
Warwick Police were on the scene.



I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the
vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with my
mother and son in the front seat of the vehicle.
I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force
handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of the West Warwick Police Vehicle.


I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police
Officer repeatedly ignored me.



I continued to ask the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was
trying to protect me .



While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to
each other with regard to capturing me.

While I was in the back seat of the West Warwick Police vehicle, a West Warwick Police
Officer asked me if I was injured and if I needed to go to the hospital inorder to lure me
into consenting to go to the hospital.


I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not need to go to the hospital.
The West Warwick Police Officer told me that the fire rescue was going to take me to the
hospital for a psych evaluation.




I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not want to go to the hospital and
that I did not need a pych evaluation. However, the West Warwick Police Officer told me
that I had to get into the Fire Rescue and go to the hospital. As a result, I had no other
choice but be taken by fire rescue to Kent County Memorial Hospital for a psych
evaluation without my consent.


My mother told me that the police officers apologized to her and stated to my mother
that they made a mistake .


I was subsequently taken by ambulance and transferred
to Land mark Medical Center without my consent and held hostage in lock down mental
health unit against my will. All of the evidence that was in my favor was ignored
by the doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County Memorial Hospital and
Landmark Medical Center. The doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County
Memorial Hospital and Land mark Medical Center manipulated and skewed the true facts
to cause me harm in connection with helping law enforcement and United States
Government from preventing me from exposing the truth to the American people and
my case continuing on Appeal with regard to the criminal acts committed by law
enforcement and the United States Government.


My Mother stated to the psychiatrist and nurses at Landmark Medical Center that I was
not delusional or paranoid and that I have never been a danger to myself or others and
that I have no history of mental health, and that I have never had a history of being
prescribed psychiatric medication and that I did not need psychiatric medication
my complaints against law enforcement are legitimate.
However, Dr. Elahi disregarded my mother statements and proceeded to contact his lawyer to
discuss whether or not he should discharge me, despite all evidence in my favor.


My family member stated to me that nurses at Landmark Medial Center made
statements about being disgusted with Dr. Shahid Elahi for consulting with his lawyer
with regard to whether or not to discharge me and delaying my discharge.



The nurses at Landmark Medical Center stated to me that I did not belong at Landmark
Medical Center Mental Health Unit


I have never had a history of mental illness.



On September 4, 2007, I was discharged from Landmark Medical Center.


I have never had a history of being targeted by the United States Government, Federal
and State law enforcement, among others prior to my L-tryptophan lawsuit.







In August of 2007, I had an Appeal pending in the First Circuit United States Court of
Appeals with regard to my December 7, 2006 Complaint against the United States
Government et al. As a result, of being held hostage in the hospital from August 21, 2007
to September of 2007, along with intimidation from law enforcement, among others in
connection with the United States Government I was unable to respond important
deadlines set by the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals . As a result, my Appeal with the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals is in default/dismissed for lack of
diligent prosecution.




As a result of my ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan manufactured by Showa
Denko K.K., I developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia Syndrome. There are
approximately 5,000 people who ingested contaminated L-tryptophan
manufactured by Showa Denko K.K., and developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia
Syndrome. There maybe more unreported cases of Eosinphilia Myalgia
Syndrome caused by ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan .



The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320,
among other violations of the FDA rules. Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued
illegal use of L-tryptophan.


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K., for violation of the FDA
rules mentioned herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold
to the American Public and caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-
tryptophan .




On October 25, 1995, I filed a products liability lawsuit against the Defendants
Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al. in
the State of Rhode Island Superior Court.


My case was transferred to Rhode Island District Court, (Blaquiere v. Showa Denko, K.K.,
Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., C.A.No.1:95-629 ).


My case was subsequently transferred for discovery to (MDL) United States District Court
Columbia, South Carolina, C. A. No. 3:96-361-0.


My case (Blaquiere v. Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General
Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., (C.A.No.1:95-629 ) was remanded to Rhode Island
District Court in 2003.

I hired a lawyer Dennis S. Mackin in 2000/2001 who used my case to file discovery
motions in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-
361-0), damaging to the defendant ShowaDenkoK.K.,their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
Hamilton, and the United States Government.


My former lawyer Dennis Mackin was paid off to withdraw from my case and to
not go forward with the discovery motions and depositions damaging to Showa
Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government.







The discovery sought in my case that my former attorney Dennis Mackin filed in 2001 in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-361-0) was to demonstrate that Showa Denko K.K. and its attorneys have been involved in a continuing conspiracy to not only circumvent the discovery process, but to manipulate any scientific examination of Showa Denko K.K.â??s reckless and wanton conductâ??.

The United States Government wiretapped my phones, hacked my computers, surviellanced me during my L-tryptophan litigation and to the present. The United States Government obstructed justice, unlawfully sabotage my case inside and outside of the court system at every level.



My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his October 12, 2001 Reply of Plaintiff to Defendant's Motion to Qaush Deposition of Kenneth Rabin , that "additional questions must be answered about political pressure brought to bear upon members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation."" What information was given to Senator Thurmond, Senator Hollings and Congressman Ravenell?"



Documents made by Showa Denko K.K. included a budget attached to their public
relation scheme which was an amount determined for congressional
contracts, including the South Carolina delegation which was for 16, 000.00.



My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his motions that, â?? The research of
this Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome has been twisted by the endless
manipulations by Showa Denko K.K and their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
Hamilton and their confederatesâ??. â?? Worst of all, the scientific literature now
contains representations by shills for Showa Denko K.K. that will cause erroneous
medical science in the futureâ??.

The United States Government is involved in the cover up .



My former attorney Dennis Mackin informed me that a promoter of an EMS

support group was being surveillanced and that anyone that who was viewed as a

threat was being surveillanced and intelligence was gathered .


The defendant Showa Denko K.K. a corrupt corporate giant, their corrupt lawyers,
and the United States Government conspired with all the courts at every level to
sabotage my case and the L-tryptophan litigation.

Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government view me as
a threat, since my lawsuit still remains open that is damaging against Showa
Denko K.K. and General Nutrition Centers (GNC), among others. Also, Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government, President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear the threat of civil and criminal action against them for their unlawful criminal activities.


I pose a threat to Showa Denko K.K. and the United States Government since,
my L-tryptophan lawsuit could re-open previous settlements entered into by
2,000- 5,000 L-tryptophan litigants on the basis of fraudulent inducement and the
United States Government's involvement in the cover up.

They were entered into by L-tryptophan Plaintiffs who were unaware of the defendants fraudulent concealment and the United States Government's cover up.

Showa Denko K.K., the United States Government, President George W. Bush and
Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear a movie being made and publicizing
their criminal activities which has continued to date.




President George W. Bush's father former President George H. W. Bush Sr. was
President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 during the Eosiophilia Myalgia Syndrome epidemic.


I filed a Complaint on December 7, 2006 against the United States Government et al. in
the United States District Court of Rhode Island, CA. No. 06-534 ML. My complaint is
pending in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Government have hired
my family, among others as informants to surveillance and gather intelligence on me.


At the time that I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against a number of defendants
who are employed by the United States Government, I was unaware of orders issued by
President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assasinate/
murder me.



I spoke to a state senator with regard to my circumstances of law enforcement on the state and federal level that have harassed, targeted, survillenced me and have come out to my house and follow me on a daily basis. Also, the West Warwick police have even parked at my grandchildâ??s school shortly after I exposed President George W. Bush orders to assassinate/murder me.


The state senator stated to me that federal law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Department of Justice are employed by President George W. Bush.

Moreover, my case is not isolated by a small number of police and law enforcement targeting and surveillanceing me. There are to many law enforcement and police and government officials organized at the highest level on the federal and local level that have targeted and surviellanced me. The state senator stated that the orders to murder me are coming from the President George W. Bush .

Further, the Rhode Island State Police who have been targeting and surviellancing me are given orders from Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri



In June or July of 2007, President George W. Bush came to Rhode Island and went on a
private helicopter ride with Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri and had discussions.






Shortly after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against the United States
Government et al, two key defendants named in my complaint retired Captain Gregory
Johnson of the West Warwick Police Department and Supervisory Special Agent
Nicholas Murphy of the Federal Bureau of investigation of R.I., and there may be others
who have also retired.


I am targeted, followed, and surveillanced by police officers, among others in the towns and places I travel in the state of Rhode Island and out of the state of Rhode Island on a daily basis.

The level of intensity and the number of police targeting, surviellancing, and following me has increased after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint. And now since I have exposed President George W. Bush who issued orders to assassinate/murder me, the level of intensity and the number of police surviellacing and following me has further increased.


My telephones are wiretapped. The United States Government is hacking my computers.
The Federal Bureau of investigation, among others covered up the investigation of the hacking of my computers.


The Federal Bureau of investigation, United States Attorneys Office , Attorney Generals office, Department of Justice, among others are covering up and aware of the fact that I was kidnapped and assaulted by a Warwick Police Officer Joseph Mee on January 22, 2006 that was organized at the highest level of United States Government to assassinate/ murder me.



Further, law enforcement, among others are covering up the fact that on December 15, 2005 and December 16, 2005, Captain Gregg Johnson and Officer Patrick Kelly and the Kent County Memorial Hospital Emergency Room Staff violated my constitutional rights and deprived me of liberty against my will and without my consent to cause me harm in connection with the United States Government and Showa Denko K.K.


On April 14, 2006, I spoke to Laura Lineberry who is Condalezza Rice's personal assistant. Laura Lineberry informed me that she could not help me with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and that I should leave a message with the Representative of Secretary of State. I left a message with the Representative of Secretary of State, but no one returned my call.


On April 14, 2006, I contacted the White House comments department in Washington, DC for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and spoke to a young lady number(77) who stated she would pass on my comments to her supervisor and that her supervisor would summarize my comments and give it to President Bush. On April 14, 2006, I was unaware that President George W. Bush issued orders to assassinate/ murder me.


President George W. Bush, Condalezza Rice's office , nor anyone associated with the White House, responded in any way shape or form to my plea for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein.

I have evidence of my telephone calls to the White House, among others.

The IP Addresses with regard to the hacking of my computers have been traced to Washington, D.C.

The United States District Court of Rhode Island omitted my supporting exhibits on
Pacer website and have intentionally obstructed my case and deprived me of a fair judicial process, inorder to protect and insulate the United States Government et al.



UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INITIATE ACTION AGAINST SHOWA DENKO K.K. FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:




The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, among other

violations of the FDA rules. Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued illegal use of L-tryptophan.


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold to the American Public and

caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of the FDA rule.





In 1970 FDA considered L-tryptophan (amino acids) , when used as nutrients or dietary supplements, to

be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for those uses, and published that fact in the code of Federal

Regulations.



In 1972 FDA engaged in rule making to withdraw and remove approximately twenty amino acids

including L-tryptophan from the GRAS list ( generally recognized as safe) and to regulate them as

approved food additives that could not be sold without FDA's prior approval in the form of a food

additive petition, (37 Fed. Reg. 6938; April 6, 1972).




In 1973 FDA promulgated a binding substantive rule that is presently on the books, the Food additive

regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of dietary supplements,

unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21 C.F.R. 172. 320.




In 1977, FDA seized L-tryptophan tablets on the grounds that the L-tryptophan that they contained

was an unapproved food additive. The court, however, found for the manufacturer of the tablets

because L-tryptophan was still on the FDA's GRAS list, (FDA had failed to remove it after the 1973

rulemaking), and the manufacturer was acting in accordance with the FDA's regulation.



In 1977, FDA deleted the listing of twenty amino acids that were the subject of the 1973 rulemaking

form the GRAS list, ( 42 Fed. Reg. 56720; October 28, 1977).


The FDA never renewed its regulatory action against dietary supplements containing L-tryptophan .



The food additive regulation that the FDA adopted in 1973 does not list (approve) L-tryptophan for

this use, and foods that contain unapproved food additive are deemed to be adulterated (21 U.S.C. 342

(a) (2) (c)).


FDA has not brought an action since 1977 against an L-tryptophan dietary supplement.




The FDA sought to enforce the rule prohibiting the use of amino acids in dietary supplements in two

seizure actions against products containing L-tryptophan. Those seizure actions were not successful.

The U.S. Government voluntarily dismissed the second lawsuit because the lawsuit was controlled by

a very hostile judge and the government feared that it would obtain an adverse ruling that would

insulate all dietary supplements from regulation under the food additive provisions of the act.


The FDA has not made any efforts to regulate amino acids since 1982. FDA ignored the food additive

regulations since 1982. In 1990, there was evidence showing that 30 amino acids other than L-

tryptophan were being sold by at least 22 companies.




The FDA has failed to date to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K. Showa Denko K.K. was in

violation of the FDA Food additive regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of

dietary supplements, unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21

C.F.R. 172. 320. FDA should have gone after Showa Denko K.K. on an adulteration charge that the

L-tryptophan in the supplements is an unapproved food additive under 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (2) (c).

Also, FDA failed to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K. with regard to L-

tryptophan being unfit for food, ( 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3). L-trytophan associated with illness

Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, is unfit for food.


The FDA could have gone after L-tryptophan supplements as drugs. The FDA could have

developed evidence that L-tryptophan used for therapeutic purposes to combat sleeplessness and PMS

which is what L-tryptophan was advertized for is considered a drug and the FDA finding L-tryptophan

had not met the FDA's rational food supplement test would permit the FDA to bring drug charges

against the product under either 21 U.S.C. 321(g) (1) (B) or (c), National Nutritional Foods

Association v. Mathews, 557 F.2nd 325, 334 ( 2d Cir. 1977).


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold to the American Public and

caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of the FDA rule.







On the Rhode Island ACLU website, there is a lawsuit against the United States
Government for Illegally surviellacing individuals attending a peace group in Rhode
Island and in other states.

The United States Government has files on these peace groups and have labeled these
peace group individuals as a threat because their simply anti-war.

The illegal acts of our United States Government is not an example of democracy, it is a
Dictatorship ruled by a dictator President George W. Bush who has committed crimes
against humanity and has violated our human rights.


Representative John Conyers Jr, was the Chairman re: the July 18, 1991 hearing on the FDA oversight of L-tryptophan. Representative John Conyers Jr, is currently the Chairman of the U.S.
House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary who can call for an investigation and immediate congressional hearings into this matter.


Please help me by writing to congress and. to investigate and call for immediate congressional hearings into this matter. Also, contact Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Jack Reed to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter. If the American people place enough political pressure to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter, then an investigation into this matter will go forward and the truth will be exposed to the American people.

Also, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and all members of the Senate to call for investigation and congressional hearings with regard to law enforcement engaged in an ongoing organized crime to assassinate/murder me by orders issued by President George W. Bush.

President George W. Bush has scammed the American people into believing that the Iraq
war is a "just war" and that the United States military are fighting for democracy,
freedom and for our safety here at home, and yet at the same time President George W.
Bush is committing the worst crimes in american history against innocent american
citizens.

that I have no history of mental health, and that I have never had a history of being
prescribed psychiatric medication and that I did not need psychiatric medication
my complaints against law enforcement are legitimate.
However, Dr. Elahi disregarded my mother statements and proceeded to contact his lawyer to
discuss whether or not he should discharge me, despite all evidence in my favor.


My family member stated to me that nurses at Landmark Medial Center made
statements about being disgusted with Dr. Shahid Elahi for consulting with his lawyer
with regard to whether or not to discharge me and delaying my discharge.



The nurses at Landmark Medical Center stated to me that I did not belong at Landmark
Medical Center Mental Health Unit


I have never had a history of mental illness.



On September 4, 2007, I was discharged from Landmark Medical Center.


I have never had a history of being targeted by the United States Government, Federal
and State law enforcement, among others prior to my L-tryptophan lawsuit.







In August of 2007, I had an Appeal pending in the First Circuit United States Court of
Appeals with regard to my December 7, 2006 Complaint against the United States
Government et al. As a result, of being held hostage in the hospital from August 21, 2007
to September of 2007, along with intimidation from law enforcement, among others in
connection with the United States Government I was unable to respond important
deadlines set by the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals . As a result, my Appeal with the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals is in default/dismissed for lack of
diligent prosecution.




As a result of my ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan manufactured by Showa
Denko K.K., I developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia Syndrome. There are
approximately 5,000 people who ingested contaminated L-tryptophan
manufactured by Showa Denko K.K., and developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia
Syndrome. There maybe more unreported cases of Eosinphilia Myalgia
Syndrome caused by ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan .



The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320,
among other violations of the FDA rules. Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued
illegal use of L-tryptophan.


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K., for violation of the FDA
rules mentioned herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold
to the American Public and caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-
tryptophan .




On October 25, 1995, I filed a products liability lawsuit against the Defendants
Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al. in
the State of Rhode Island Superior Court.


My case was transferred to Rhode Island District Court, (Blaquiere v. Showa Denko, K.K.,
Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., C.A.No.1:95-629 ).


My case was subsequently transferred for discovery to (MDL) United States District Court
Columbia, South Carolina, C. A. No. 3:96-361-0.


My case (Blaquiere v. Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General
Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., (C.A.No.1:95-629 ) was remanded to Rhode Island
District Court in 2003.

I hired a lawyer Dennis S. Mackin in 2000/2001 who used my case to file discovery
motions in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-
361-0), damaging to the defendant ShowaDenkoK.K.,their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
Hamilton, and the United States Government.


My former lawyer Dennis Mackin was paid off to withdraw from my case and to
not go forward with the discovery motions and depositions damaging to Showa
Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government.







The discovery sought in my case that my former attorney Dennis Mackin filed in 2001 in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-361-0) was to demonstrate that Showa Denko K.K. and its attorneys have been involved in a continuing conspiracy to not only circumvent the discovery process, but to manipulate any scientific examination of Showa Denko K.K.â??s reckless and wanton conductâ??.

The United States Government wiretapped my phones, hacked my computers, surviellanced me during my L-tryptophan litigation and to the present. The United States Government obstructed justice, unlawfully sabotage my case inside and outside of the court system at every level.



My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his October 12, 2001 Reply of Plaintiff to Defendant's Motion to Qaush Deposition of Kenneth Rabin , that "additional questions must be answered about political pressure brought to bear upon members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation."" What information was given to Senator Thurmond, Senator Hollings and Congressman Ravenell?"



Documents made by Showa Denko K.K. included a budget attached to their public
relation scheme which was an amount determined for congressional
contracts, including the South Carolina delegation which was for 16, 000.00.



My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his motions that, â?? The research of
this Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome has been twisted by the endless
manipulations by Showa Denko K.K and their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and
Hamilton and their confederatesâ??. â?? Worst of all, the scientific literature now
contains representations by shills for Showa Denko K.K. that will cause erroneous
medical science in the futureâ??.

The United States Government is involved in the cover up .



My former attorney Dennis Mackin informed me that a promoter of an EMS

support group was being surveillanced and that anyone that who was viewed as a

threat was being surveillanced and intelligence was gathered .


The defendant Showa Denko K.K. a corrupt corporate giant, their corrupt lawyers,
and the United States Government conspired with all the courts at every level to
sabotage my case and the L-tryptophan litigation.

Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government view me as
a threat, since my lawsuit still remains open that is damaging against Showa
Denko K.K. and General Nutrition Centers (GNC), among others. Also, Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government, President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear the threat of civil and criminal action against them for their unlawful criminal activities.


I pose a threat to Showa Denko K.K. and the United States Government since,
my L-tryptophan lawsuit could re-open previous settlements entered into by
2,000- 5,000 L-tryptophan litigants on the basis of fraudulent inducement and the
United States Government's involvement in the cover up.

They were entered into by L-tryptophan Plaintiffs who were unaware of the defendants fraudulent concealment and the United States Government's cover up.

Showa Denko K.K., the United States Government, President George W. Bush and
Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear a movie being made and publicizing
their criminal activities which has continued to date.




President George W. Bush's father former President George H. W. Bush Sr. was
President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 during the Eosiophilia Myalgia Syndrome epidemic.


I filed a Complaint on December 7, 2006 against the United States Government et al. in
the United States District Court of Rhode Island, CA. No. 06-534 ML. My complaint is
pending in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Government have hired
my family, among others as informants to surveillance and gather intelligence on me.


At the time that I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against a number of defendants
who are employed by the United States Government, I was unaware of orders issued by
President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assasinate/
murder me.



I spoke to a state senator with regard to my circumstances of law enforcement on the state and federal level that have harassed, targeted, survillenced me and have come out to my house and follow me on a daily basis. Also, the West Warwick police have even parked at my grandchildâ??s school shortly after I exposed President George W. Bush orders to assassinate/murder me.


The state senator stated to me that federal law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Department of Justice are employed by President George W. Bush.

Moreover, my case is not isolated by a small number of police and law enforcement targeting and surveillanceing me. There are to many law enforcement and police and government officials organized at the highest level on the federal and local level that have targeted and surviellanced me. The state senator stated that the orders to murder me are coming from the President George W. Bush .

Further, the Rhode Island State Police who have been targeting and surviellancing me are given orders from Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri



In June or July of 2007, President George W. Bush came to Rhode Island and went on a
private helicopter ride with Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri and had discussions.






Shortly after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against the United States
Government et al, two key defendants named in my complaint retired Captain Gregory
Johnson of the West Warwick Police Department and Supervisory Special Agent
Nicholas Murphy of the Federal Bureau of investigation of R.I., and there may be others
who have also retired.


I am targeted, followed, and surveillanced by police officers, among others in the towns and places I travel in the state of Rhode Island and out of the state of Rhode Island on a daily basis.

The level of intensity and the number of police targeting, surviellancing, and following me has increased after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint. And now since I have exposed President George W. Bush who issued orders to assassinate/murder me, the level of intensity and the number of police surviellacing and following me has further increased.


My telephones are wiretapped. The United States Government is hacking my computers.
The Federal Bureau of investigation, among others covered up the investigation of the hacking of my computers.


The Federal Bureau of investigation, United States Attorneys Office , Attorney Generals office, Department of Justice, among others are covering up and aware of the fact that I was kidnapped and assaulted by a Warwick Police Officer Joseph Mee on January 22, 2006 that was organized at the highest level of United States Government to assassinate/ murder me.



Further, law enforcement, among others are covering up the fact that on December 15, 2005 and December 16, 2005, Captain Gregg Johnson and Officer Patrick Kelly and the Kent County Memorial Hospital Emergency Room Staff violated my constitutional rights and deprived me of liberty against my will and without my consent to cause me harm in connection with the United States Government and Showa Denko K.K.


On April 14, 2006, I spoke to Laura Lineberry who is Condalezza Rice's personal assistant. Laura Lineberry informed me that she could not help me with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and that I should leave a message with the Representative of Secretary of State. I left a message with the Representative of Secretary of State, but no one returned my call.


On April 14, 2006, I contacted the White House comments department in Washington, DC for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and spoke to a young lady number(77) who stated she would pass on my comments to her supervisor and that her supervisor would summarize my comments and give it to President Bush. On April 14, 2006, I was unaware that President George W. Bush issued orders to assassinate/ murder me.


President George W. Bush, Condalezza Rice's office , nor anyone associated with the White House, responded in any way shape or form to my plea for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein.

I have evidence of my telephone calls to the White House, among others.

The IP Addresses with regard to the hacking of my computers have been traced to Washington, D.C.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INITIATE ACTION AGAINST SHOWA DENKO K.K. FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:




The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, among other

violations of the FDA rules. Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued illegal use of L-tryptophan.


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold to the American Public and

caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of the FDA rule.





In 1970 FDA considered L-tryptophan (amino acids) , when used as nutrients or dietary supplements, to

be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for those uses, and published that fact in the code of Federal

Regulations.



In 1972 FDA engaged in rule making to withdraw and remove approximately twenty amino acids

including L-tryptophan from the GRAS list ( generally recognized as safe) and to regulate them as

approved food additives that could not be sold without FDA's prior approval in the form of a food

additive petition, (37 Fed. Reg. 6938; April 6, 1972).




In 1973 FDA promulgated a binding substantive rule that is presently on the books, the Food additive

regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of dietary supplements,

unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21 C.F.R. 172. 320.




In 1977, FDA seized L-tryptophan tablets on the grounds that the L-tryptophan that they contained

was an unapproved food additive. The court, however, found for the manufacturer of the tablets

because L-tryptophan was still on the FDA's GRAS list, (FDA had failed to remove it after the 1973

rulemaking), and the manufacturer was acting in accordance with the FDA's regulation.



In 1977, FDA deleted the listing of twenty amino acids that were the subject of the 1973 rulemaking

form the GRAS list, ( 42 Fed. Reg. 56720; October 28, 1977).


The FDA never renewed its regulatory action against dietary supplements containing L-tryptophan .



The food additive regulation that the FDA adopted in 1973 does not list (approve) L-tryptophan for

this use, and foods that contain unapproved food additive are deemed to be adulterated (21 U.S.C. 342

(a) (2) (c)).


FDA has not brought an action since 1977 against an L-tryptophan dietary supplement.




The FDA sought to enforce the rule prohibiting the use of amino acids in dietary supplements in two

seizure actions against products containing L-tryptophan. Those seizure actions were not successful.

The U.S. Government voluntarily dismissed the second lawsuit because the lawsuit was controlled by

a very hostile judge and the government feared that it would obtain an adverse ruling that would

insulate all dietary supplements from regulation under the food additive provisions of the act.


The FDA has not made any efforts to regulate amino acids since 1982. FDA ignored the food additive

regulations since 1982. In 1990, there was evidence showing that 30 amino acids other than L-

tryptophan were being sold by at least 22 companies.




The FDA has failed to date to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K. Showa Denko K.K. was in

violation of the FDA Food additive regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of

dietary supplements, unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21

C.F.R. 172. 320. FDA should have gone after Showa Denko K.K. on an adulteration charge that the

L-tryptophan in the supplements is an unapproved food additive under 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (2) (c).

Also, FDA failed to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K. with regard to L-

tryptophan being unfit for food, ( 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3). L-trytophan associated with illness

Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, is unfit for food.


The FDA could have gone after L-tryptophan supplements as drugs. The FDA could have

developed evidence that L-tryptophan used for therapeutic purposes to combat sleeplessness and PMS

which is what L-tryptophan was advertized for is considered a drug and the FDA finding L-tryptophan

had not met the FDA's rational food supplement test would permit the FDA to bring drug charges

against the product under either 21 U.S.C. 321(g) (1) (B) or (c), National Nutritional Foods

Association v. Mathews, 557 F.2nd 325, 334 ( 2d Cir. 1977).


If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned

herein, then L-tryptophan would not have been on the market and sold to the American Public and

caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of the FDA rule.







On the Rhode Island ACLU website, there is a lawsuit against the United States
Government for Illegally surviellacing individuals attending a peace group in Rhode
Island and in other states.

The United States Government has files on these peace groups and have labeled these
peace group individuals as a threat because their simply anti-war.

The illegal acts of our United States Government is not an example of democracy, it is a
Dictatorship ruled by a dictator President George W. Bush who has committed crimes
against humanity and has violated our human rights.


Representative John Conyers Jr, was the Chairman re: the July 18, 1991 hearing on the FDA oversight of L-tryptophan. Representative John Conyers Jr, is currently the Chairman of the U.S.
House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary who can call for an investigation and immediate congressional hearings into this matter.


Please help me by writing to congress and. to investigate and call for immediate congressional hearings into this matter. Also, contact Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Jack Reed to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter. If the American people place enough political pressure to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter, then an investigation into this matter will go forward and the truth will be exposed to the American people.

Also, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and all members of the Senate to call for investigation and congressional hearings with regard to law enforcement engaged in an ongoing organized crime to assassinate/murder me by orders issued by President George W. Bush.

President George W. Bush has scammed the American people into believing that the Iraq
war is a "just war" and that the United States military are fighting for democracy,
freedom and for our safety here at home, and yet at the same time President George W.
Bush is committing the worst crimes in american history against innocent american
citizens.

My case is legitimate. Please do not disregard my case.

I have evidence and tapes on top officials and law enforcement among others to support my
claims. The current Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse , Senator Jack Reed and former Senator Lincoln Chafee, among others are covering up and will not help me.

I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.

I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received
comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million
members on their website.


On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.


On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am & 6:00 am a West Warwick
Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public .



I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007, a West Warwick Police vehicle came
up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year
old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger
side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue
West Warwick, R.I.

I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police
vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back
seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son .


The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West
Warwick Police were on the scene.



I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the
vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with my
mother and son in the front seat of the vehicle.
I Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force
handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of the West Warwick Police Vehicle.


I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police
Officer repeatedly ignored me.



I continued to ask the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was
trying to protect me .



While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to
each other with regard to capturing me.

While I was in the back seat of the West Warwick Police vehicle, a West Warwick Police
Officer asked me if I was injured and if I needed to go to the hospital inorder to lure me
into co

I am officially requesting anyone who reads this to invite me as a friend. That would be Rick Sturm at r_f_sturm@yahoo.com. You also need to send another to my new account, which is Rick Sturm at r.sturm44@gmail.com.

I'm considering dropping the groups that I belong to on my first account, so that I can use Gmail for blogging. I don't want to get rid of the first account, because it actually has my profile and everything and I just really don't want to re-do it. I also plan to keep that E-mail address as the one I use for personal E-mail.

Most of the groups I belong to don't seem to have any activity, except for 2008 Presidential Blog, so unless I get some friends from the other groups, I'll probably drop those.

Remember folks, you don't have to agree with me to be a friend, here.

Thanks,

Rick Sturm

OK, like I said yesterday a few silly posts or venting posts are fine, this place is for our entertainment, it does not really effect Policy.

But some restraint is required. Viyda, TrueBlue, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Vidya, every post is useless so polarized it serves no purpose. Can you please make some intelligent posts, some light hearted posts, something besides causing fights.


TrueBlue: Your the worst of the worst cursing like a sailor on a Sunday morning. You need to get off this board or get a grip.


Hurricane: Your not much better then Vidya but not nearly as bad as TrueBlue.


I am aware Obama supports do this as well, and they need to knock it off too, just do not see any of their posts in view right this second.


This place is supposed to be fun so Knock it off


JJoy, your a Hillary supporter but have lots of fun and interesting posts, good reads!!!!

There are other good Hillary posters too, again just can not list everyone.

This is not an anti Hillary post but some of us are behaving badly.


To stop some of the rebuts I know I write very pro Obama posts some times, and doing it sometimes from both sides is fine, just need to show some restraint and be civil

Greetings All,

In searching for a group nearby, I came across very few here and those that were here had so few members. I wanted to create a group where people in Oklahoma, whether they be Democrats or Undecided can come here to discuss the issues, the candidates, any questions they may have and to share information. I didnt want to create it for any one candidate because, as I do have my preference, I still believe that it is important for those of us in the Party to unite, regardless of that candidate that we back.

It comes down to the same basic principle....CHANGE. We need a change in this country more than ever. The US needs a reason to believe in their president again without so many reservations, there should be a United front of all Americans behind their president! Now, more than ever, it is time to elect someone who can pull this country together, to remove the Republican party who has caused so much disorder here and vote a Democrat who truely believes in change...it is time to UNITE!!

i know how nasty people can be on party builder, and i have had my feelings hurt many, many times. but this is a grown-up site, in theory. this story about myspace absolutely turns my stomach. how could a PARENT do something like this?

Link

i certainly hope those of you with children are monitoring your kids' online activities. kids can treat each other cruelly enough; when parents get involved, it goes to another level entirely.

wow.

Looks like some in the progressive blogosphere is slamming Hillary's HealthCare plan:

"Senator, your plan is basically a national version of Republican Mitt Romney’s “Universal Health Care” plan for Massachusetts, which has still left thousands in that state uninsured and even more struggling to make the payments on their new policies, which they are now required to have by law, but which may not pay them one thin dime should they actually become sick or hurt. What you’re trying to pass off here as some kind of bold new way forward is just another bureaucratic nightmare in the making, as the already staggeringly inefficient insurance corporations struggle to take on the millions of new clients and patients."

Yikes! Thoughts?

Okay, okay. I've been reading a lot of the postings that have been put up lately and I have been appalled at what I have seen in the way of responses. The Democratic party has always been something that I have been proud to be a part of because we are mature, intelligent, and do not follow our leaders around like blind lemmings.

We are a party that welcomes all debate in the spirit of the first amendment. We take our values of greater education and peace and implement it into our everyday lives. If we degrade ourselves to throwing petty insults at each other and trying to undercut people who do not support our candidates, then we have become nothing better than the Republicans.

We have been blessed this election season with a group of candidates who would ALL make fine presidents. What is more is that it is more than likely that one of our people will finally take the oval office back. They are all very good, and we need to focus on what is important - the progressive agenda, and putting America back on the right track.

With that said, we should all take what other people have to say in their blogs into constructive context, rather than simply insult those who may disagree with us. We are the party that is associated with peace and intelligent debate, so let's keep it that way.

Madam Speaker, The Honorable John Conyers, and The Honorable Members of the House Judiciary Committee,

The only remedy for the high crimes and misdemeanors of George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney can be impeachment.

No future president should ever be able to expand their powers to the point that George W. Bush has. If impeachment is not sought, the next President will inherit almost limitless power over our nation. At the same time, Congress will forfeit any ability to provide any future meaningful oversight of the Executive Branch.   Read More »

Here's a template to send to your senators and representative. You can also send this to Nancy Pelosi without you being her constituent. Her website is

Speaker of the House

I URGE YOU TO SEND THIS TO HER!


Cut and Paste the text below into your message. Remember to properly modify the information in [brackets]
-------------------------------------------------
From: [Your name]
Of: [City, State Zip]

Dear [Name of Senator or Representative],

This constituent believes that there is satisfactory evidence to support charges of High Crimes and Misdemeanors, that satisfy the requirements of the Articles of Impeachment, against the President of the United States, George W. Bush, and the Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney.

To make matters even more severe, but with the greatest respect, I regretfully believe that our own representation in Congress is being compromised by Representatives and Senators who will not faithfully execute their oaths to uphold and protect the People and Constitution of the United States of America. The negligent act is the failure of Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against the President and Vice President of the United States in the face of overwhelming evidence of High Crimes and Misdemeanors they have perpetrated against the People and Constitution of the United States.

I want you act in the best interest of the People and the Constitution by making sure that Madam Speaker puts impeachment back on the table. Any preference over this for partisan positioning will not be tolerated. All you need to do is pick up the phone, dial her number, and tell her you support a decision to put impeachment BACK ON THE TABLE.

I seek only that Congress, without further delay, begin the impeachment process available to the U.S. House of Representatives granted under the Constitution, to remove George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney from their respective offices.

If I fail to find action on your part, I will not be able to support your candidacy for re-election and will work to replace you in your Congressional Office.

Your silence and position on this matter is currently unacceptable and the time for patience has passed.

Links do not turn out right, nor work, when it is enabled.

just an FYI!

"Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back -- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you."

I was on the AOL blog site the other day to surf through and gain some perspective about what less politically active people thought about the 2008 election. Needless to say, I was mortified.

Nearly all of the conservative commentary on the blogs had contained some sort of baseless insult toward the left. That's not to say that Democrats have never been guilty of such things, but let's not mince words - the Democratic party, for reasons beyond my understanding, has been stigmatized with this "We hate America" label by the far right.

Why is this? I think I have an idea as to why. I have looked into LOTS of conservative literature and blogs, and they seem to have a running theme that Democrats simply exist to destroy the country. That we are a godless child-molesting crowd here to make sure the war on terror is lost, that we keep them from living out American cultural tradition, and that we lose a world war to China.

It's absolutely ludacris. Bill O'Reilly with his book that is constantly being pushed on television (Culture Warrior), Ann Coulter with Godless, and Sean Hannity's Deliver us from Evil have all found their way into conservative's homes, and unfortunately their minds.

This is creating a horrible rift in the country and it doesn't even need to exist. Now I'm not going to say that the people pushing these messages are stupid like many people have before me, nobody involved in this process is inherently stupid. The conservative pundits actually quite crafty. Unfortunately these men and women have been overcome by greed and only act the way they do for shock value so that they can increase their book sales or TV ratings. They don't care that it divides the country or that it causes for slander and deceit in national politics.

When this message reaches the less educated, they absorb it because they don't have access they need to make informed decisions on politics, which is awful. The saddest part is that if they had access to as much information as possible, they would have a better chance at enriching their lives. All they have are what the people on Fox news tells them. I feel that if they did, the nation would probably end up voting uproariously democratically.

I am a patriot. I am also a Democrat. I'm proud to be both. I'll wave an American flag, and I'll criticize the government. I'll support the troops and criticize a sorrowful war. I'll wear my patriotism right out on my sleeve proudly, because it's the way I truly feel.

If the pundits want to have a culture war to divide the country, I say we give them a war. Our objective? To unify everyone in tackling America's problems, and ensuring our prosperity for years to come.   Read More »

Point of personal privilege, my friends. Look, if you're going to lob personal insults at bloggers because it's far, far easier than looking up easily-found profile information, do us all one favor: Don't yourself litter your forum with conservative talking points torn directly from Tony Snow's daybook. If you're going to accuse critics of this administration of spewing hate and drinking the Kool-Aid, please realize that citing, as you have, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin in the course of your posts makes your position laughably hypocritical. And since you like to parse people's words, let's parse some of yours:

1. On Iraq: "For you, it's just another tool push your political agenda."

OK, what's worse? Being a critic of the war to, as you say, "push your political agenda"? Or planning an escalation of U.S. soldiers in Iraq that is, as one administration official told NBC's Jim Miklaszewski, "more of a political decision than a military one"?

2. On Congressional corruption: "At least the GOP cleans up their messes."

Two words: Mark Foley. Here we had a child predator stalking the halls of Congress and not only were his higher-ups warned about it, but, in order to stay in the majority, they also urged him to seek reelection.

3. On consumerism: "Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc sell me the things that I want at better prices than anyone else. How could anyone not love that?"

Ask the victims of Wal-Mart's business practices how much they love that.

4. On Sen. Barack Obama being referred to as "Osama": "Well he could always change it to something undeniably American-sounding, like Leroy Washington or something."

Racist much?

Now, this is just a small outpost of the online world, but it's important to recognize that people like this inhabit its every corner, especially those where political debate takes place. They preach civility, yet their own words ignore their sermonizing. They call their ideological opposites haters, yet their arguments often pander to the lowest common denominator. They broad-brush those who don't agree with them, yet lack the intellectual curiosity to actually learn more about those with whom they spar. Being an informed citizen means actually doing the work. But as long as taking shots and having your arguments handed to you from above remains a far easier prospect, expect more of the same from our friends on the right.

In a widely-circulated and much-discussed Wall Street Journal editorial, Joseph Rago, the paper's assistant editorial features editor, takes a swipe at the blogosphere. He accuses blogs - "the blog mob" - of being poor in quality, "pretty awful" and "downright appalling." Further, our stories lack nuance and irony, our arguments are self-absorbed and our definition of discourse means insulting our ideological adversaries. His most developed point, and the one echoed by a thousand Joseph Ragos in a thousand old media outlets, is that blogs - specifically political blogs - pose a threat to the "traditional" Fourth Estate. While I have my own thoughts on this argument, one that Chris Bowers has already thoroughly fisked, I would rather spend these precious column inches discussing the point behind the point, the feelings of resentment far more dangerous than those of an ink-stained wretch shouting for we punk bloggers to get off of his lawn.   Read More »
