Hurricane Sandy’s aftermath and power outages could affect voting on Tuesday

For the past few days, many along the eastern shoreline have focused solely onHurricane Sandy. Watching the news and weather reports and searching for damage reports take time. Assessing the damage done to personal belongings have occupied much of the time in people’s days. Especially for those who have lost power. Since Monday, power outages have affected more than 7 million people in 16 states. In many places, the power isexpected to be out for 10 days. This brings up the awkward question which will have to be addressed. How will the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy affect the election on next Tuesday, November 6?

Is Facebook selling your conversations to advertisers? Some advertisers say yes

Facebook was chastised online Monday by Ad Age, a company known for advertising and marketing news. It seems that Facebook has been telling users of the social media website one thing, but telling potential advertisers something else. In other words, according to Ad Age, Facebook has been lying, or omitting the truth, from consumers.

I have been thoroughly chastised…

I’ve been mainly publishing on Examiner, and writing maybe 5-6 articles a week there.  I was reminded today that I have not been posting those on this blog…

 

I’ll try to remedy that…

Colo. shooting lawsuit filed, man blames theater, doctors, and Warner Bros.

A lawsuit was filed Tuesday, just a few days after the largest mass shooting in the history of the United States, blaming the theater, the doctors of James Holmes, and the film studio Warner Bros. Torrence Brown, Jr. was in Century 16 Theater when James Holmes started his killing spree. Brown was not injured although one of his best friends, A.J. Boik, was fatally shot in the chest. Brown claims to be suffering from extreme trauma.

Brown’s attorney, Donald Karpel, told TMZ that the theater was negligent. The emergency exit door in the front had no alarm and was not guarded. Many believe that Holmes purchased a ticket, entered the theater, propped open the emergency exit from the inside, and then went to his car and returned with four guns.

Penn State University fined $60 million and 111 wins by NCAA

In an unprecedented act on Monday, the governing body of U.S. college sports hasfined Penn State University $60 milliondollars claiming that the school had worshipped Jerry Sandusky and put winning ahead of integrity, honesty, and responsibility. The National College Athletic Association (NCAA) also voided Penn State‘s football victories for the last 14 seasons (1998 through 2011). The 14 seasons erases 111 of Coach Paterno’s wins and strips him of his standing as the most successful coach in the history of college football.

Penn State did not receive the “death penalty” that could have eliminated its football program, but the university was banned from post-season play for the next four years. The scholarship program at Penn State was also cut by 40 percent (dropping from 25 players to 15). This is the price that Penn State University will pay for Jerry Sandusky, who brought boys onto the college campus and molested them as the college looked the other way.

Email from Bob Chapman’s daughter, Jeni, 2 days before his death

Thanks for sharing this, it sounds like Bob Chapman was having a really rough time.

======

Dear Subscribers and Friends,

My name is Jeni and I am Bob and Judy Chapman’s daughter. Over the past months many of you have emailed Bob and Judy concerning my fathers health and his replies have been very vague. Some people have been talking on the radio and Bob feels you deserve to hear everything so you know the truth.

In January 2012 Bob went to a medical doctor and had tests and CT scans done, Bob was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had already metastasized to his liver, he was not a candidate for surgery or radiation therefore Bob chose to try alternative treatments, many of which came via email from his many friends and followers. During these treatments he was not seen by medical doctors. He was led to believe that the cancer was being arrested. I noticed, as many of you did from listening to Bob on the radio that his voice had changed and something was wrong. Bob continued to say that he was just tired and he would be back to himself soon. My dad did not even tell me what was going on, but like allot of you I could tell something was wrong. When I asked my mom, she struggled not to say anything, as directed by Bob.

At the end of April I booked a flight to go see my parents and what was going on with Bobs’ health because now my concern was great as he was no longer acting like himself. I phoned Bob’s business partner, Victor Hugo, to arrange for him to pick me up from the airport. While on the phone I asked how Judy was doing and Victor stated that they had just admitted her to the hospital, she had a brain aneurism due to the stress of the situation I was about to face. Finding out that way was disheartening but I arrived at Bob and Judy’s house the day Judy returned from the hospital. Thank the Lord, she was alright and is on medication now.

Once I saw my dad I cried. He had lost 70 pounds and was very weak. His business partner was in charge of both Bob and Judy’s care. There was no food in the house, only fruits, vegetables, and chicken broth which they were feeding Bob on the direction from the person in charge of the alternate therapy he chose. My mother did not drive so she relied on Victor to get what they needed.

My dad has been type 2 diabetic for a number of years and so I checked his blood sugar and it was almost 400, a normal adult should be around 100. I explained this to Victor and Bob, along with the fact that Bob needed to be consuming calories, water, taking insulin, and walking. Bob was very dehydrated and malnourished.

Next, I called a medical doctor I personally know where they lived and arranged for him to supply Bob with a calorie drip, and insulin. Then I reviewed Bobs condition with the alternative therapist and Victor and they both assured me that Bob was getting better, even though they had no proof because Bob had not seen a medical doctor since January and therefore had received no more CT scans. He did have blood work taken, from his home, and sent out to the lab by Victor, however that showed the cancer count going down. Victor tried to tell my friend the medical doctor that my dad did not need the drip without my knowledge, however the doctor approached me to confirm this and I made sure that Bob got what he really needed to improve his health and return my parents to the states. It took me 2 ½ weeks to build Bob’s strength and weight (he gained 6 pounds) to allow him to fly back.

Upon arrival, I brought Bob to a Radiological Oncologist to review his blood work and scans. The Oncologist asked my dad about his treatments since January and Bob proceeded to explain them and ended with his comment that the cancer in his pancreas was arrested. The doctor was in awe, and informed Bob that he was gravely mistaken. The Oncologist had printed out Bob’s CT scans and showed and explained them to Bob. The cancer in his pancreas in January was only 1 inch by 2 ½ inches and now was 5 inches by 7 inches. The cancer cells in the liver began as 2 spots in January, and were now 4 times as large. He also informed us that the monthly blood results supplied by Victor could not be Bob’s. He said “This blood work does not match your scans.” Bob was devastated, to think that he was betrayed by the man he worked with and trusted for 10 years. This Oncologist stated that Bob was not a candidate for radiation and referred us to a Medical Oncologist.

After Bob’s appointment with the Medical Oncologist, blood work and a PET scan was ordered and Bob was scheduled to have a port put in for fluids, blood work, and any future treatment of the cancer. The next couple of days Bob and Judy relaxed with family by going out shopping and hitting some golf balls. Bob spoke to some people on the phone and did some dictation with me for the upcoming IF. Bob also, as always continued to personally respond to all of your emails. My dad loved being on the radio and writing the IF.

On Tuesday, May 22nd Bob went in for his pre-op appointment at the hospital and everything went well, when we returned home he was tired so he took a nap, I told him I would wake him for lunch. At 1:30, when I went to wake him, he could not stand on his own. I took him to the emergency room. Around 11pm he was transferred to ICU and we learned the severity of my dad’s condition.

We learned: Bob has had a urinary tract infection for so long that it had infected his blood, his blood sugar was still very high, his blood pressure was so low that they needed to give him the maximum amount of medicine just to get his blood pressure up to 90/50. He had one blood clot in his right leg and multiple in his left. His kidneys were beginning to fail and his liver was already not working. We all were surprised because we had no idea Bob had this many underlying conditions. Because of the blood clots and cancer, his platelet count was 27 and his white blood cell count was low. The doctors could not insert the MediPort, a TP line, or stints for his liver and filters for his blood clots because of the possibility of him bleeding out during these procedures, or even being able to recover. While in ICU Bob called and said good bye to his sisters and childhood friends that he was still in contact with.

On Monday, May 28th, we brought him home where he spends his days with his immediate family. My mother has been seen by a physician here and her blood pressure is being controlled.

Bob has not spoken to his partner, Victor. We have tried to contact him by phone and email and he has not responded. He controlled everything for Bob and Judy, from their accounts to the IF website. This is why you all received this week’s IF via email. We have been told by Bob and Judy’s previous neighbors, that someone has gone into their home and removed their furniture and belongings. Neither Bob nor Judy will return there, they will remain with me and my family in the states.
Bob wants the IF to continue so we will do our best to bring you editorials from various individuals that share Bob’s views. We are working on a new site address and email, as Victor is in control of the current one. As soon as we re-launch the IF, we will email everyone. Please keep your eyes open for this email as there will be many changes coming.

Thank you for the emails of love, prayers, concerns, and stories. There is nothing more rewarding then to read or talk to you and hear how my father has touched your life. I read them to my dad or relay the conversations I have had with some of you. It makes me cry, not in sorrow, but in joy because I am so proud of my father. He is such a compassionate man willing to help everyone from a 10 year old that needed soccer cleats, to a 70 year old couple that needed advice on their retirement. Over the years, he personally responded to everyone he could. Those are some shoes to fill, but we are willing to try.

I hope you will continue to support the IF and keep Bob’s dream alive.

Thank you,

Jenifer

Bob Chapman Passes Away

oh man – ouch…

 

It is with great sadness that we learned today of the passing of Bob Chapman, a true patriot and a frequent guest on the Alex Jones Show whose insight on the global economy was second to none.

We knew that Bob had been ill for some time and this is why his media appearances were curtailed, although it is noteworthy that even as recently as just a few days ago, Bob was still writing articles for his powerhouse financial newsletter The International Forecaster. This shows the dedication and commitment that Bob provided his readers in trying to guide Americans through uncertain economic times.

Bob’s fantastic research will leave a gaping hole in the iron curtain of globalist lies. He was a true economic infowarrior – but most of all his warm, friendly and engaging personality will be our greatest loss.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bob’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Behind the brutality in Louisiana

Reblogged from Doug Wead The Blog:

What was behind the broken bones, hysteria and bruised egos at last weekend's Louisiana State GOP Convention?  Why the attacks on legitimately elected Ron Paul delegates?   Don't the Romney folks get it?  Don't they want to win in November?  Don't they want and need the youth vote?  Hispanics?  Independents?  Even, the Democrats, that Ron Paul is attracting to the party?
