This short 15 second clip is all the cops are have allowed us to see. This video shows officers on top of Mr Silva after the vicious baton beating we could barley make out on the previous surveillance video. This is i'm guessing the last few moments of Mr Silva's life at the hands of Kern County Police Officers.

      <title>Media being denied FOI requests</title>

      <description>Media being denied FOI requests for materials in David Gregory's ammo magazine case
				
				


						
							
							
						
						
							
						
				
					
						
							If there is one lesson I have learned over my decade and a half 
at Judicial Watch, it is this: you must never overestimate the hypocrisy
 of the Left--especially in covering for their own. 



Lest you have even the slightest doubt, cast an eye to the outrageous 
behavior of District of Columbia Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan when 
he allowed NBC-TV's David Gregory to walk away scot free for a firearm 
offense, even while openly acknowledging &quot;the clarity of the violation 
of the law.&quot;



We don't know for certain what prompted Nathan to decline to prosecute 
Gregory. We do know that, according to the Washington Post, until the 
Republican sweep in 2010, he had been the House Democrats' top lawyer. 
We also know that he was appointed attorney general by D.C. Democrat 
Mayor Vincent Gray. And we know that some legal experts have questioned 
why Nathan did not recuse himself from the case when it was discovered 
that he had a personal relationship with David Gregory's wife. Clearly 
more information was required.



On January 14, 2013, William A. Jacobson, founder and author of the 
outstanding blog website, Legal Insurrection, submitted a District of 
Columbia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the D.C. 
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and Office of the Attorney General 
(OAG) seeking access to the following records:



  1.  The January 9, 2013 letter from Lee Levine on behalf of David 
Gregory, referenced in the letter datedJanuary 11, 2013 from Attorney 
General Irvin B. Nathan to Mr. Levine which was publicly disclosed on 
that date.



  2.  All communications between the District of Columbia Office of 
Attorney General and/or Metropolitan Police Department, on the one hand,
 and legal counsel for David Gregory and/or NBC News, on the other hand,
 with regard to the incident involving the display on television by Mr. 
Gregory of an alleged high-capacity ammunition clip (the &quot;Gregory 
incident&quot;).



 3.  All documents in the possession of the MPD and OAG regarding the 
Gregory incident, to the extent not exempted from disclosure under 
applicable law,  including but not limited to witness statements, 
evidence review and possession records, interview notes, and forensic 
testing.



On February 20, 2013, OAG informed Jacobson that it was withholding 
certain requested records, including the January 9, 2013, letter from 
NBC attorney Lee Levine, as well as responsive emails between OAG and 
MPD. (We just learned the letter from Levine was made available to the 
media, but is being withheld from us!)



The OAG also withheld in their entirety an affidavit and a warrant 
responsive to the Jacobson FOIA request. On April 17, 2013, MPD informed
 Jacobson that it was withholding responsive records as well. This past 
week, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit on Jacobson's behalf asking 
that the Court to declare OAG and MDP in violation of the law and to 
order them to produce the records without further delay.



The known facts in the Gregory case are simple. On Sunday December 23, 
2012, the &quot;Meet the Press&quot; host interviewed the National Rifle 
Association's Wayne LaPierre concerning firearms policy in the United 
States. During the course of the interview, Gregory exhibited a 
high-capacity ammunition clip. The possession of such an ammunition clip
 is in violation of the law of the District of Columbia. 



Gregory displayed the ammunition clip despite the fact that, according 
to the D.C. Office of the Attorney General,&quot;NBC was clearly and timely 
advised by an MPD (Metropolitan Police Department) employee that its 
plans to exhibit on the broadcast a high capacity magazine would violate
 D.C. law, and there was no contrary advice from any other federal 
official.&quot;



Some argued that, in accordance with D.C. law, Gregory should have been 
charged with a weapons violation and taken into custody, as other 
alleged offenders have been. The MPD failed to do so, however, and in 
early January announced that it had completed its two-week investigation
 and presented the case to the OAG &quot;for a determination of the 
prosecutorial merit of the case.&quot;



On January 11, 2013, after just two days of deliberation, Attorney 
General Nathan sent a letter to NBC saying that his office would not 
prosecute Gregory, &quot;despite the clarity of the violation of this 
important law.&quot; The Attorney General added, &quot;There is no doubt of the 
gravity of the illegal conduct in this matter...&quot;



Yet, in what surely must be one of the most glaring non sequiturs I've 
seen, Nathan then refused to prosecute Gregory. And the Washington 
Times' outstanding editorialist Emily Miller well summed up the 
absurdity of the situation when Gregory first committed his violation:



The District came up with its overly restrictive laws in response to the
 Supreme Court overturning the capital city's 30-year gun ban. The 
statutes shouldn't apply just to regular people but to the rich and 
powerful as well. The District should either repeal its over-the-top 
restrictions or send a squad car to take David Gregory into custody.



The way Gregory's prosecution decision was handled undermines confidence
 in the fair administration of justice.  If Gregory shouldn't be 
prosecuted then no one should be - and the law should be rescinded.  Our
 client Prof. Jacobsen also is seeking justice in the public interest:



&quot;The documents being withheld will help shed light on the details of 
this highly publicized non-prosecution, which raised issues as to 
whether well-connected and famous D.C. insiders were treated as any 
other citizen in a similar situation.  I appreciate Judicial Watch 
assisting in this search for the truth.&quot;



Let's hope the courts put an end to this cover-up.

      <title> White Ohio Pedophile Serial Killer Arrested. Charged With Terrorism</title>

      <description>MOUNT VERNON, Ohio - A man accused of kidnapping a 13-year-old girl and suspected in the disappearance of her mother, brother and a family friend was scheduled to be in court on Tuesday, as investigators dug deeper into his past. 

Hoffman, 30, was charged with kidnapping and raping Sarah Maynard. The 13-year-old was removed from Hoffman's Columbus Road home after authorities swarmed the location on Sunday morning.

Knox County Sheriff David Barber said that Maynard was released from a hospital and was at home with family members.

Investigators did not elaborate what led them to Hoffman's home but his parents have a house on Apple Valley Drive in nearby Howard, Ohio, the same street where Maynard disappeared, along with her brother, Kody Maynard, 11, mother Tina Herrmann, 32, and family friend Stephanie Sprang, 41, 10TV News reported.

Hoffman's mother said her son occasionally had mail sent to her address but he has not lived at her home in two years.

She described her son as a &quot;loner&quot; and that she last saw him on Nov. 7, four days before investigators believe he abducted Maynard.

Hoffman was convicted in 2000 of setting fire to a Colorado condo complex that forced 16 people to be evacuated, 10 Investigates' Paul Aker reported.

Investigators said he used 10 gallons of gasoline to set fire to the Steamboat Springs building in an effort to cover up a burglary he committed there.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison, where he was disciplined for refusing to work, damaging property and assault, Aker reported.

After being released from prison he came to Knox County in 2007 and was able to obtain a $30,000 mortgage but it was unclear how he paid the bills.

While on parole, Hoffman was ordered to make payments for the $2 million in damage to the condos, but records showed he only paid about $5,000.

State records showed Hoffman was on parole supervision until October, Aker reported.

Hoffman's neighbors said that he moved into the five-bedroom home about a year ago. They said that he lived alone and had a history of strange behavior that made them uncomfortable.

&quot;At first, (Hoffman) seemed like he was OK,&quot; said Donna Davis, his next door neighbor. &quot;Then, I started making my kids come in when he was outside.&quot;

Davis told 10TV's Glenn McEntyre that initially, Hoffman seemed more odd than menacing.

&quot;He was a weirdo,&quot; Davis said. &quot;If you look back here in the tree, there's a hammock where he would sit and watch people. He's just different. He would always walk over to the gravel pit with bags and sometimes not bring them back. Sometimes he would.&quot;

The former gravel pit that Davis mentioned is now known as Foundation Park, a few blocks from Hoffman's home, and was the site of an extensive search on Monday.</description>

      <description>Islam is a psychotic cult of evil and lies. On one hand while 50 year old religious and community leaders are cutting open vaginas of 8 year old girls they married and bleeding them to death, (http://patdollard.com/2013/05/8-yr-old-afghan-bride-who-was-brutally-killed-by-her-mullah-husband-on-the-first-night-of-her-wedding/), on the other hand moslem &quot;immigrants&quot; are busy &quot;Islamizing&quot; different parts of the world to further propagate their neanderthal'ish ways. 

 The latest riots in Stockholm are case and point. 

However there is NOT ONE mention of the riots in the Islamic world. It is business as usual there with their usual women slayings, child rapes, sectarian killings. Honestly, riots must seem rather tame to them, after their day to day lives. But even their outward facing media, which projects the image of the Islamic world, media like Al Gore's best buddy Al Jazeera, is completely complicit in this shameful cover up.

Attached are the images of the front page of Al Jazeera's website and the page dedicated to Europe. There is no mention of the stockholm riots in either.

Islam relies on conspiracy theories as expounded by illiterate mullahs from minarets during Friday prayers for its primary news source. And such a cult usually shies away from self-effacing truth.

A shameful state of affairs.</description>

      <title>HOW A SUICIDE IN MIAMI GAVE BIRTH TO &amp;quot;HEARTBREAK HOTEL&amp;quot; AND THE RISE OF ROCK N' ROLL</title>

10:27 AM  XAVIANT HAZE

Miami is a world famous Mecca of sun, sand, sex and fun outlandish decadence. It's also a very dark town, haunted by real life  zombies , third world-esque  poverty  and a long history of  racial segregation  and  violence . Because of this entropic mix Miami boasts an impressive musical resume, birthing a mix of pirates, tropical wanderers and wayward sons that over the decades have created some of the most groundbreaking, influential and varying musical styles. With a long history of music innovation and violence, it's no wonder that Miami shows up as the spark that helped create Rock n' Roll - in the form of a Suicide note. 
Late one night in some neon faded Art Deco beach hotel, an anonymous man killed himself leaving behind only a crumbled note in one of his jean pockets. On the note where the words &quot;I walk a lonely street&quot; his last ode to a cruel world. Little did he know his sacrificial death would soon give birth to a whole new generation of music lovers. His unidentified corpse was shown on the cover of the Miami Herald with the headline asking, &quot;Do You Know This Man?&quot; 
When exactly this suicide happened can't be confirmed and a search of the Miami Herald Digital Archives  hasn't provided any help. We know that it was sometime in 1955 when Steel-guitar player, singer-songwriter and failed dishwasher repairman Tommy Durden read the Herald suicide article while working a gig in Jacksonville, Florida. Durden believed the suicide note's line had a dark blues quality and scribbled it down as a future song lyric. He showed the article and the lyric to his friend Mae Boren Axton, herself a songwriter, TV personality, radio host and publicist. Mae immediately was drawn to the lyric, deciding that naturally at the end of a lonely street one would find a &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; and with that verse, a light bulb of creativity exploded in the warm Florida air. 
Mae wrote the rest of the lyrics while Durden worked out the melodies on his guitar. Within an hour the duo had composed one of the most important songs in the history of music. But Mae was more than just a schoolteacher and part-time songwriter; she was a visionary who saw the 'big picture' before anybody else. That 'big picture' was Elvis Presley and way before the Colonel turned him into a money making machine, Mae Axton was convinced that Elvis was going to be the biggest thing to hit America since the Model-T Ford. 
Mae first encountered Elvis during a tour she helped set up in Jacksonville, Florida when the relatively unknown Memphis singer was a last minute replacement booked to open for country recording star Hank Snow. As Elvis began his set, Mae Quietly blended in with the crowd at the Gator Bowl, and watched in awe as twenty-year old Elvis completely blew the audience away with his mix of hillbilly swag, bluesy crooning and pelvic shaking lunacy. After his performance, teenage girls chased Elvis back to the dressing room while managing to completely tear off the young stud's shirt. The forty-year old Mae had never seen anything like that in her entire life. Nobody had. She quickly helped get Elvis booked for a return show on July 28, 1955, which caused excessive lines of teenage girls waiting to get inside and irate local preachers screaming about the dangers of Elvis's shaking hips. 
After another smashing performance Mae interviewed Elvis for a local radio station. She was influential in helping get Elvis's first record &quot;That's alright Mamma&quot; radio airplay in Florida and during the interview the 'King' gratefully acknowledges this fact...
&quot;Well, thank you very much, Mae, and I'd like to personally thank you for really promoting my record, because you really have done a wonderful job, and I really do appreciate it because if you don't have people backing you, people pushing you, well you might as well quit.&quot;

After the interview Mae boldly declared to Elvis that she would write his first number one hit. After concluding the &quot;Heartbreak&quot; writing session with Durden, a local Country singer named Glenn Reeves stopped by for a visit and was immediately put to work by Mae. She asked Reeves to record a demo of the song with her tape recorder in the style of Elvis Presley, Reeves wasn't a fan but being a good friend did the song anyways. The fact that Reeves even knew who Elvis was, is a testament to how much buzz the 'King' had created for himself in the South. After finishing the song, Reeves thought &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; was weird and that Elvis &quot;wouldn't go far&quot; and declined any credit or association with the song. Mae had no intention of ever using Reeves anyways; she just wanted something to show Elvis in the hopes that he would record the song. She approached the popular country duo The Wilburn Brothers and offered them a chance to record a better quality version of &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; but the duo declined, calling the song &quot;Strange and almost Morbid&quot;. With no choice but to hunt down the kid on her own, she headed to Nashville where Elvis was being honored as the most promising male country star of 1955 at the annual Country Music Disc Jockey Convention. 
By this time the Colonel Tom Parker had weaseled his way to becoming Elvis's manager, and shortly after Thanksgiving of 1955 secured for Elvis a record deal at RCA. 
Since Mae had worked with Tom before as a publicist in the early 50's she was on familiar terms with the Memphis slickster. It's even rumored that Mae is the only person in the world that the notorious Colonel Tom Parker has ever apologized to. After talking with Tom about a song she wanted Elvis to record she was told where to find the kid, and headed out in the rain towards the Andrew Jackson Hotel. 

Elvis was relaxing in his room and in a jovial mood when Mae showed up with her tape-recorded demo. Upon hearing the rough sounding tape Elvis shouted, &quot;Hot dog, Mae! Play it again!&quot; mesmerized as he played the track about ten times in a row. Elvis said the song reminded him of Roy Brown's &quot; Hard Luck Blues &quot; and agreed to record a version. Mae was delighted and the next day they sat down with the Colonel to hammer out a deal. Though the team of Mae and Durden are responsible for penning the song, Elvis's name appears on the finished record as a third writer. It's common knowledge that the Colonel often insisted his boy get co-writing credits in exchange for cutting a song. Always securing a steady stream of publishing checks for the two of them. However this wasn't the case, Mae was so confident that &quot;Heartbreak&quot; would help establish Elvis as a star she insisted on a shared credit in order to help Elvis buy a house for his mother in Florida. With formalities out of the way Elvis began to rehearse the song and added it his live repertoire, changing one line of the lyric, from &quot;they pray to die&quot; to &quot;they could die&quot; while performing the song for the first time in  Swifton, Arkansas on December 9. 
The small club was packed with over 200 people and Elvis oozing with confidence after singing with RCA rocked the club to the floor. The club's owner and everyone there could sense that something fresh was happening. The 20-year-old Elvis was already a regional star but he had yet to appear on national television. That night in the Arkansas club, Elvis burned through some tracks he'd recorded for Sun, a few covers, and then introduced his new song in that familiar Southern drawl, &quot;I&quot;ve got this brand new song and it's gonna be my first hit.&quot; His words were prophetic. 

A month later Elvis entered the recording studios at RCA, where he was scheduled to record five songs in two days. The studio at  1525 McGavock Street was RCA's first permanent recording facility in Nashville,  a town still years away from becoming the recording center of the musical universe. Surprisingly, up to then there were only a handful of studios in town. It wasJanuary 10th, 1956 and Elvis Presley who two days prior just turned 21 was ready to begin recording his debut single for RCA. 
Mae was also present during the session; interested in watching Elvis record live and curious to how her song would end up sounding. At Sun Records, Elvis had been backed by Sentry Moore on guitar and Bill Black on bass. Later a drummer was added -- a position eventually filled by D.J. Fontana on a permanent basis. At RCA, the Elvis combo was joined by legendary Nashville guitarist Chet Atkins on rhythm guitar and future Grammy winner Floyd Cramer on piano, along with a gospel trio consisting of Ben and Brock Speer of the Speer Family and Gordon Stoker of the Jordanaires. 
They recorded on monaural equipment (single track) and the studio was somewhat of a live room with a curved ceiling that created low frequency problems causing bass notes to be boomy and roll around for a long time. They were always in search of a dead spot for the bass. They also had several large curtains hanging on the walls to help &quot;deaden&quot; the room. They employed the use of movable &quot;wall-like&quot; baffles to isolate instruments to minimize sound bleeding into other mics. During that first session RCA was anxious to recreate the &quot;slapback&quot; echo effect that Sam Phillips had created at Sun. To add them to Elvis's vocals Chet and engineer Bob Farris created a psuedo &quot;echo chamber&quot; by setting up a speaker at one end of a long hallway and a microphone at the other end and recording the echo live. It sounded strange to hear it as they were recording live because at Sun studios Sam used to add the effect afterwards. 
This technique failed to add anything special to the first two songs they recorded &quot; I got a Woman &quot; and &quot; Money Honey &quot; but as soon as they tried it out on &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; goose pimples suddenly appeared on everybody's skin. The heavy overdubbing of echo and the drummer's rim shots created a powerful atmosphere of upbeat despair that effortlessly matched Elvis's heart-rending vocal. It was a perfect blend of haunting lyrics and ghostly music set to the penetrating crooning of a man destined for greatness. 
During the opening lines to each verse when Elvis sings acapella, his voice is penetrating, dejected, and completely captures the alienation of disaffected youth. The dark track sounded like it belonged more on a Doors album than a lead single for RCA in 1956. The gloomy song was markedly different from anything Elvis had done previously at Sun Records and when his former label boss Sam Phillips heard an acetate from the Nashville session, he pronounced &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; a &quot;morbid mess.&quot; Biographer Donald Clarke writes:

The sound quality of that first session was not good, and 'Heartbreak Hotel' is the worst of them all. Chet Atkins played rhythm guitar and Floyd Cramer was added on piano, together with an entirely unnecessary vocal trio led by Gordon Stoker, lead singer of the Jordanaires. Scotty Moore's guitar sounds exceptionally, irritatingly tinny, Cramer is too prominent and the whole track sounds like it was made underwater in a breadbox. It was a disgraceful recording for 1956 but a good song for Presley.

On hearing the new songs, the RCA executives in New York freaked out and wanted to scrap the sessions. They told producer Steve Sholes to turn around and head straight back to Nashville to re-record the tracks. Sholes later stated, &quot;They all told me it didn't sound like anything, it didn't sound like his other records and I'd better not release it, better go back and record it again&quot; But Elvis was unfazed and begged the grey-haired executives to trust his instincts and release &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; as a single. Promising that if it sank he would be at their mercy for any song they wanted out of him. Elvis had that Southern charm, and he had it in spades. The RCA 'brass' relented and pressed ahead with the release, albeit with sizeable suspicions. Elvis clearly believed in it, certain that the song was the right one to catapult him into the big time. 
It was properly mastered and released as a 45 single with the B-side &quot; I was the One &quot; on January 27, 1956 and went nowhere despite Elvis making his network television debut on the Dorsey Brothers Stage Show. 
For the first month of its release &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; barely registered on the pop charts and seemed to prove that the RCA executives were right. But that all changed when Elvis finally had the chance to perform the song on the popular Milton Berle Show. This performance from the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Hancock in San Diego California, rocketed Elvis to superstardom. His good looks, unique voice and swiveling hips sent the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Californian girls into a frenzy of screams, faints and tears. The men had never seen anything like it and the San Diego Police Chief announced that if Elvis ever returned to his city and performed in the way that he did he would be jailed for disorderly conduct. 
Like a meteor blast Elvis had hit the mainstream. The fateful string oftelevision exposure (a new medium) undoubtedly helped propel &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; to the number-one spot on Billboard's best-seller list 45 days after its release, where it stayed #1 for eight weeks. The song also reached number one on the country chart and number three on the R&amp;amp;B chart. It became Elvis Presley's first Gold record selling more than a million copies just as Mae Axton had predicted. Considering this is the song that really introduced rock to the mainstream (white public) it's amazing how dark the lyrics really are...
 Well, since my baby left me, 
 I found a new place to dwell 
 It's down at the end of lonely street 
 at Heartbreak Hotel 
 You make me so lonely baby, 
 I get so lonely, 
 I get so lonely I could die 
 And although it's always crowded, 
 you still can find some room 
 Where broken hearted lovers 
 do cry away their gloom 
 You make me so lonely baby, 
 I get so lonely, 
 I get so lonely I could die 
 Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin', 
 and the desk clerk's dressed in black 
 Well they been so long on lonely street 
 They ain't ever gonna look back 
 You make me so lonely baby, 
 I get so lonely, 
 I get so lonely I could die 
 Hey now, if your baby leaves you, 
 and you got a tale to tell 
 Just take a walk down lonely street 
 to Heartbreak Hotel 

&quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; put Elvis on the map, and helped forever alter the landscape of Popular Culture. He would perform the song during most of his live shows between 1956 and 1977, including a blistering rendition on his 1968 comeback special. 
 

Elvis performed it for the last time on May 29, 1977 at the Civic Center inBaltimore, Maryland. The song and  alternative takes  have been released on almost every Presley compilation album since the 60's. In 1979, following Presley's death, author Robert Matthew-Walker wrote, &quot;Heartbreak Hotel became one of the legendary rock performances. For many people it is Elvis Presley, and it continues to excite and fascinate listeners. Heartbreak Hotel is a classic performance, yet when it is analyzed it appears so simple that one cannot recall a time when one did not know it.&quot;
&quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; is one of the most influential songs of all time. It single handedly ushered in the era of Rock n' Roll and influenced every key rock artist in its wake. In a 1975 interview, John Lennon recalled his friend Don Beatty introducing him to Presley's music. Lennon said that his family rarely had the radio on, unlike other members of The Beatles who grew up under its influence. Beatty showed Lennon a picture of Presley that appeared along with the charts on the New Musical Express magazine, and Lennon later heard &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; on Radio Luxembourg. Lennon said:

When I first heard &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot;, I could hardly make out what was being said. It was just the experience of hearing it and having my hair stand on end. We'd never heard American voices singing like that. They always sung like Sinatra or enunciate very well. Suddenly, there's this hillbilly hiccuping on tape echo and all this bluesy stuff going on. And we didn't know what Elvis was singing about... It took us a long time to work what was going on. To us, it just sounded as a noise that was great.

George Harrison credits &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; with handing him a &quot;rock n roll epiphany&quot; when in 1956, at age 13, he overheard it being played at a neighbor's house while riding his bike. Thus, it was &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; that turned Harrison from a relatively well-mannered schoolboy into a guitar-crazed truant who would audition for John Lennon's Quarrymen the following year.

The Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards stated in his 2010 autobiography,Life, that &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; was one of the first rock and roll influences he had. Apart from Presley's impact on him, Richards was even more impressed by Scotty Moore's guitar playing, as well as the rest of the band. Richards says:

Good records just get better with age. But the one that really turned me on, like an explosion one night, listening to Radio Luxembourg on my little radio when I was supposed to be in bed and asleep, was &quot;Heartbreak Hotel.&quot; That was the stunner. I'd never heard it before, or anything like it. I'd never heard of Elvis before. It was almost as if I'd been waiting for it to happen. When I woke up the next day I was a different guy.

Led Zeppelin's lead singer Robert Plant stated that the song &quot;changed his life&quot;. He recalled hearing it for the first time when he was eight years old:
It was so animal, so sexual, the first musical arousal I ever had. You could see a twitch in everybody my age. All we knew about the guy was that he was cool, handsome and looked wild.

Critic Robert Cantwell wrote in his unpublished memoir Twigs of Folly:
The opening strains of &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot;, which catapulted Presley's regional popularity into national hysteria, opened a fissure in the massive mile-thick wall of post-war regimentation, standardization, bureaucratization, and commercialization in American society and let come rushing through the rift a cataract from the immense waters of sheer, human pain and frustration that have been building up for ten decades behind it.

Paul McCartney says, &quot;It's the way Elvis sings it as if he is singing from the depths of hell. His phrasing, use of echo, it's all so beautiful. Musically, it's perfect.&quot;
With &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; a certifiable smash Elvis Presley was on his way to superstardom. Over the years he begged Mae to write another song for him, but feeling she could never top &quot;Heartbreak&quot; Mae declined, content that her initial hunch about Elvis was right. 
Mae continued to write other minor hits through the 60s and 70s while maintaining a career as a schoolteacher and community activist. Proud to have set Elvis on his way but completely nonchalant about writing one of the most groundbreaking songs ever. In a 1982 interview, the song's co-writer Tommy Durden said the song, &quot;has paid the rent for more than 20 years.&quot; Citing its cultural significance the Grammy's inducted the song into their Hall of Fameand when then presidential candidate Bill Clinton (the first black president) made his famous appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1992, he chose &quot;Heartbreak Hotel&quot; to play on his sax. He killed it, got the crowd hyped and secured the gig for the presidency...
 


And to the deserted soul who took his own life in Miami, never knowing that his suicide note &quot;I walk a lonely street&quot; would forever change the world by helping to shape &amp;amp; create the phenomena of Rock n' Roll - Thank You. Sadly, your loss was our gain. C'est la vie...

      <title>Ex-soldier told to paint over 'offensive' St George's flag on front door  </title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 10:55:03 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>A PATRIOTIC ex-soldier who painted a St George's flag on his front door has been ordered to cover it up by his housing association landlords who claim it could be considered &quot;offensive&quot; and may bring &quot;distress&quot; to neighbours.Steven Rolfe, 52, painted the red and white colours of the English flag on his rented home in Preston, Lancs, 10 years ago and added hanging baskets to celebrate his love of England and mark his former career in the forces.

But despite being runner up in a council &quot;best kept house&quot; competition, he has now received a letter from an official at property management firm Places for People saying neighbours could be &quot;alarmed&quot; by the symbol.

The letter also warned the design could place him in a category of &quot;nuisance neighbours&quot; and said it could see him being evicted if he failed to cover it up.

In a letter to Mr Rolfe, Neighbourhood Officer Leanne Hardy gave him 14 days to repaint the door saying: &quot;It has been brought to my attention that you have painted your front door in a way that could be considered offensive.&quot;

When he asked for permission to keep the flag, Ms Hardy sent another letter refusing his request and giving him seven days to paint over it in one colour.

She also warned him that failure could see him being in breach of his tenancy agreement.

In her letter Ms Hardy said the flag design fell foul of rules tackling unruly tenants who caused &quot;a nuisance, annoyance, disturbance or harassment&quot; of others.

Ms Hardy also said his conduct breached tenancy conditions concerning those tenants who were &quot;injurious to the interests of neighbours&quot; and those who &quot;cause distress, alarm or interfere with the peace and comfort of any other person.&quot;

Mr Rolfe, who served in Northern Ireland, said: &quot;I couldn't believe it when I got the letter.

&quot;We seem to be losing our values in this country and also losing our sense of identity, all in the name of political correctness.&quot;

The father-of-one said he had never had any problems before and none of his neighbours have ever complained.

He added: &quot;I am far from being racist, I'm just proud of England that's all.

&quot;My neighbours say they would like to see more of the St George's flag about.&quot;

Mr Rolfe has been supported by Muslim community leader Ali Anwar who said: &quot;As far as I'm concerned, a man's home is his castle, and he should be allowed to express himself as he wishes. This is political correctness gone mad.&quot;

Former Labour MP David Borrow, who is now a local councillor, said: &quot;The door has been like that a long time and having spoken to the gentleman, I have no reason to believe that he is anything other than a decent member of the community.

&quot;I do not believe that he has intended the door to symbolise anything offensive, and I have heard no specific complaints.&quot;

John Clemence, vice president of the Royal Society of St George, said: &quot;To say that the cross of St George can cause offence needs to be challenged.

&quot;We are seeing more and more of this kind of complaint, and these jobsworths are causing resentment and inciting racial hatred.&quot;

Places for People, which owns the house and runs 143,000 homes across Britain, has since apologised for calling the flag &quot;offensive&quot; but said Mr Rolfe must still repaint the door because he does not have the proper permission.</description>

      <description>What a bunch of ???? Nature.com's article about the the Bladderwort Plant that discusses a detailed study and wondrous discovery of a plant that at some point looses it's version of  Junk DNA  was re-defined in a plethora of dis-information articles by mainstream news sources such as NBC, to re-call  Junk DNA , Junk. Using a &quot;Mexican lab&quot; and a Buffalo NY Professor as it's second and third accomplices, these mainstream channels claim that because this plant doesn't need the similar looking stuff (similar to our  &quot;Junk&quot; DNA  material) that we don't either. An interesting population of articles filling the first page of Google's results for Junk DNA will have have one so confused, that they will feel like Elmer Fudd looking for the Rabbit in all the wrong places, and hearing the Loony Tunes anthem all the way to reading something else as fast as possible. 

Why was 95% of genetic material known and accepted as Junk for the last 40 years, and why now such dedicated opposition to the idea that's it's not? Why ask why, instead learn here that this is all a B.S. Campaign that was launched across several sites on 5 13 2013. 

Now re-focusing on the very diversified mountain of test results determining that there is indeed great potential in the full percentage of our genetic make-up please stay tuned to the science and share with your friends, you can be sure we'll be checking things out at  DNA Super Science .com   and please visit our sponsor  Vitality Capsules</description>

      <title>GOP Sources Altered Benghazi Emails to Suggest a &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Cover-UP&lt;/span&gt;</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 17:23:00 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>Since September, Republicans have claimed the Obama administration covered up the truth about the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya by altering the talking points Susan Rice used on the Sunday morning talk shows. To bolster the story, Republicans misquoted or significantly embellished the emails officials used to draft Rice's remarks, the  CBS Evening News  reported Thursday.

CBS News' Major Garrett confirmed that it was a GOP source who leaked the altered emails.

The miscast quotes affect at least two emails that include a State Department spokesperson and a White House deputy adviser - the two parties GOP lawmakers insist were trying to engage a cover-up on behalf of the Obama administration to protect the president's chances of re-election.

A leaked email adds new language to State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland's email, including a specific reference to al-Qaeda:

&quot;The penultimate point is a paragraph talking about all the previous warnings provided by the Agency (CIA) about al-Qaeda's presence and activities of al-Qaeda.&quot;

The actual email read:

&quot;The penultimate point could be abused by members to beat the State Departmentfor not paying attention to Agency warnings.&quot;

A leaked email written by deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes suggests that he asked for the final draft to remove references to warnings about specific attacks, a demand made by the State Department:

&quot;We must make sure that the talking points reflect all agency equities, including those of the State Department, and we don't want to undermine the FBI investigation.&quot;

But the actual email did not mention the State Department:

&quot;We need to resolve this in a way that respects all of the relevant equities, particularly the investigation.&quot;

Since the congressional hearings last week, the White House on Wednesday released a hundred pages of emails from after the consulate attack. The  full version undermines already-thin accusations that this is a White House scandal.

These are just a simple collection of you-have-have-to-look-for-it information regarding new  2012 DNA Breakthroughs  that outline overwhelming Human potentials. We have driven the research to the atomic level in weapon making and war, but we have not unlocked much human molecular information at all. In fact for the last 40+ years we have regarded the portions of material (this represents 95% of the total DNA material even) that house the control switch-like abilities in Humans as  Junk DNA  !? Mainstream Education, Mainstream Science and Mainstream News have and continue to omit this information from it' public presentations. There is very little information, out and certain individuals have been attacked for speaking out about it.</description>

      <title>The Impeachment Option </title>

Jason Chaffetz raises the prospect. By  Robert Costa Representative Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, says President Barack Obama may face impeachment over his administration's response to the Benghazi attack.

&quot;They purposefully and willfully misled the American people, and that's unacceptable,&quot; Chaffetz tells me. &quot;It's part of a pattern of deception.&quot;

Behind the scenes, he says, House Republicans are frustrated by the White House's evasiveness, and the calls for impeachment will likely increase.

Chaffetz acknowledges that House speaker John Boehner is wary of moving too swiftly against the president, but the brash, 46-year-old conservative is tired of waiting for answers. He's ready to issue subpoenas and schedule more hearings. 

His chief concern is that the White House, which he says is staffed by &quot;self-preservationists,&quot; seems to be hiding documents related to the attack and the president's decisions, in order to protect the administration from scrutiny.

&quot;They've released 100 emails, but there are thousands of documents that we still need to see,&quot; he says. &quot;The truth gets colder as time goes on, so we need to stay vigilant.&quot; 

&quot;Now, the speaker has more patience than I do,&quot; Chaffetz says. &quot;He has told me to be patient, that the truth will eventually surface. But I'm not a patient person, and if this administration makes us do this the hard way, that's what we'll do.&quot;

Chaffetz's tension with the White House has been building for months, ever since he took a fact-finding trip to Libya last October, less than a month after the terrorist attack. During that visit, he huddled with several U.S. diplomats, including Gregory Hicks, a former deputy chief of the Libya mission. 

But the heavy-handed tactics of the president's advisers, he complains, sullied his investigation from the start. He worries that allies of Obama and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton have inappropriately pressured his sources - and restricted his access. &quot;They've obstructed me from doing my congressional duty,&quot; he says. &quot;When I went over there, a State Department babysitter intimidated me and many others.&quot;

&quot;The State Department had people watching my every move,&quot; he recalls. &quot;But even as they watched me like a hawk, I was able to see how ill-prepared the embassy was for an attack. There were walls that weren't very tall, and trees that could be climbed. One of the walls was so low that some people were able to prop up a ladder to dump trash on our embassy's grounds. I asked one of my guides why that was allowed, and he shook his head and said, 'Well, I guess we just didn't want to offend the neighbors.'&quot;

But the worst part of the journey, Chaffetz says, was having State Department lawyer Jeremy Freeman along, shadowing him through every meeting. Hicks and other U.S. diplomats, he says, were effectively muzzled by his presence. &quot;And at one point, Hicks had to leave a meeting, only to be chastised over the phone by Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's top adviser,&quot; he says. &quot;It was unsettling - to see, up close, the depths to which Secretary Clinton was willing to go to manipulate the process.&quot;

Chaffetz says he has relayed these stories to his Republican colleagues, especially after Hicks testified before the House oversight committee earlier this month. Chaffetz says the conversations about his experiences have stirred unease, and he expects members to press the White House for details on how officials may have obstructed Congress.

&quot;The White House likes to say that our questions are a political sideshow, but it seems like it was their politics that caused a lot of the problems,&quot; Chaffetz says. &quot;Hicks testified about being suppressed from saying much to me during my trip, so it's not like we're running roughshod.&quot;

Over the weekend, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer appeared on the Sunday talk shows and defended the administration. When asked about the editing of national-security talking points and the president's conduct on the night of the attack, Pfeiffer argued that the administration was engaged and acted responsibility.

Chaffetz doesn't buy it. &quot;This is an administration embroiled in a scandal that they created,&quot; he says. &quot;It's a cover-up. I'm not saying impeachment is the end game, but it's a possibility, especially if they keep doing little to help us learn more.&quot;

Look for Chaffetz, the chairman of the oversight committee's subcommittee on national security, to lead the fight for accountability as the controversy - and talk of impeachment proceedings - escalates. 

In the meantime, he's trying to get back to Libya. 

&quot;Unless you go out there and kick the tires, you'll never really get the proper perspective,&quot; he says. &quot;I've been kicking them for a while, but this is only the beginning. I'm going to spend months finding out the truth, and do whatever it takes.&quot;
