Here we go again. According to the WSJ (FTC to Serve Google With Subpoenas in Broad Antitrust Probe), the FTC is going after Google to see if they are “unfairly” pushing users to their own properties rather than others.

Didn’t they just look into this not long ago?

I think part of this is that Google owns some of the HUGEST sites online like YouTube. But, with the G’s push to big brand sites maybe the FTC will find some secret backdoor deal Google has with these big brands. Lord knows the US Government would NEVER make backdoor deals to get what they want (or fill their greedy pockets).

What I do fear is that the FTC will beat on Google until they decide to move out of the USA. Just think of all the lost jobs that would cause. Oh wait, the Gov likes high unemployment. They like to control and regulate until we are all eating rice and living in a box.

Thanks big G (Gov), spend time and money looking at everyone for doing unfair practices while you suck us freakin dry.

I was so excited to see that 3 Michigan Hospitals (Bixby Medical Center in Adrian,Crittenton Hospital Medical Center in Rochester, Herrick Medical Center in Tecumseh) have now banned smoking. Oh not just banned it from inside the building or out in their parking area. They will not hire you if you smoke at all. They are going to give applicants a nicotine test and if your test is positive then you don’t get the job.

This is done in the name of “good health”. These companies also don’t think this is any type of discrimination. Although I had always thought that companies could not refuse to hire people from a certain group…guess that is blow to hell.

Why would I think this is good?

Because someone might want to reject applicants that are over weight. Obesity is way out of hand and the side affects are driving up medical cost. Owners may not want to pay the insurance to cover the health related problems an obese person may have at sometime. If someone can’t control their food intake and a regular exercise routine then they may not be able to control things on the job.

Business owners that are Vegan can now refuse to hire anyone that consumes animal products. That doesn’t just mean people can’t consume them at work. Nope, they can’t ever consume them if they want to keep their job. If you get caught out at a restaurant with a glass of milk, scrabbled eggs, or even a piece of cake made with eggs…your job is GONE! Maybe even stick it in the employees contract that if they ever eat meat while still employed…they are subjected to a public hanging in the employee break room at dawn.

You think that all this sounds crazy? Nope, changing the rules in the middle of the game is all great and fine if someone pockets get filled with cash.

So all of you non smokers just think how they have put smokers threw hell. They have taxed the shit out of all nicotine products. They have charged smokers more for insurance. All while the government and insurance companies have made a ton of money. Hell, just look at how many companies sell products to “stop smoking”. These products cost a small fortune and many require visits and prescriptions from doctors who also make money off of smokers.

So how did it all start…the government let cigarette companies say it was ok to smoke. There were no ill effects to smoking. The government even allowed cigarette manufactures to put even more chemicals in their products so they were more addicting and had worse side effects. Once enough people were hooked, they started pulling in the reins. More taxes, more insurance cost because suddenly they said they were causing cancer, heart disease….

Since they have charged smokers for everything possible, how else could they possibly punish them? Hell, the smokers are easy targets because sheeple will just go along with it. They have stopped people from smoking in Government buildings. Some states have banned smoking from restaurants and bars (in the name of protecting children’s health. What kid is in a bar?). Some states have even proposed to ban smoking in cars with kids under 12 y/o. Yeah, you can get a fine for smoking in your own car. How long until they ban or outlaw smoking in your own house?

Well, they have done a great job. So many people have stopped smoking that they have got to start looking for another way to make money by charging massive taxes and health cost…who is the next easiest target?

Now, take a look at the food the government is allowing to be sold. High fructose corn syrup that is going to pack the pounds on. Aspartame in so many “diet” products is sold by the pound to help you loose that fat ass and lower your blood sugar caused by all the high fructose corn syrup they already sold you. I could list a million problems with the dairy and meat industry. They add enough hormones that little girls start menstruation at 7-8 years old. The antibiotics they add is already being linked to super bugs. So, now little by little they are using food to let you hang yourself. Soon, they could decide that they should add on a Fat Tax. Yes, they have already talked about it in many states. That would mean a high tax on foods and drinks with high fructose corn syrup. You know, that shit they have said was safe and fed you for years. If you think this sounds crazy, there are more obese people in the USA than smokers. Complications from obesity is now ranking #1 or 2 for health care cost. I would bet that these cost added up truthfully are far higher than cost from smoking.

So all the chubby people beware. You are next in line to be discriminated against by the taxman, health care, and employment.

To take another step forward and look at all the kids diagnosed with bull shit like ADD, ADHD, Depression…these kids are now considered to have (had) a mental disability or disorder. They drug these kids with no scientific diagnoses of illness or cure. These drugs have physical effects on the body that the government, doctors, and pharma companies ignore. That is until it can be used against you. One day when these kids want a job…to bad no one will hire a person that has had mental disorders, are possibly dangerous (the drugs do cause suicidal and homicidal thoughts), or were to numbed during childhood that they now do not know how to handle anything without a pill (Ritalin and Adderall are the #1 drug of choice in college students and are addictive like heroin). And soon a lot less people will own guns because, an entire generation has suffered from mental illness (that was called ADD, ADHD….).

So all of you cheering that the hospitals in Michigan refusing to hire nicotine users remember you and or your child could be next on the “For Your Health” hit list. It may soon be ok and acceptable for others and the government to discriminate against you…and your family.

I am sure that by now you have heard all of the ways that your iPhone and iPad are able to track you. Yes, even your Android phone can track you. But surely, Google and Apple would ONLY use this info for good reason right?

Yes, both companies use this info so they can give you better service. The location of your phone is also used with many apps…that is what lots of these apps are for. DUH! Hell, they even have the GPS that has helped them find people that are lost or in need of emergency services. See, tracking is GOOD!

Just think of the On Star commercial….Deer jumps in from of car…driver swerves, car crashes, nice voice announces that “On Star has been alerted of a crash”, then the nice voice says, “stay calm, help is on the way”. OMG! The GPS has saved a life.

We’ve known for years that Car GPS tracks where you drive and no one has complained. It could save your life, give you mapped out directions, find your car if it’s stolen or help find out who killed you. Ok, I watch CSI a lot and I have seen how they pull out a GPS to prove that a car was in your area and the body dump site…that puts the killer (or a car) at the scene and even time stamps it. It’s a win all the way around, right? Crime solved!

Now if you watch CSI you also know that if the Crime Lab finds a cell phone they can download every contact number, call, photo, text message….from that phone in minutes. But, that is just made up TV show and not real life…or is it? Oh well, even if it is real, the police would only use that technology if you had been a victim of a crime (probably already dead) or if you were arrested for doing a crime so who cares? As some Facebook users have commented things like “If you aren’t doing anything wrong then it doesn’t matter” or “They only use this information to help solve crimes”. Yeah, if you haven’t murdered anyone or robbed a bank then the police would never even look into your cell phone.

What if the police pulled you over for speeding and wanted to download all your cell phone info? They would never do that since they really don’t have reason to know whom you call, text with, your pics, banking info, passwords or any other personal info on your cell phone. Hell, maybe you just had a tail light out, so knowing all that other stuff is totally unrelated to your “crime”.

Well, You might want to check out the video of radio host David Pakman talking to Mark Fancher, attorney at the ACLU Michigan. It seems that there is debate about Why Are The Michigan State Police Downloading Your Cell Phone Data during a regular traffic stop? In the video you will hear how the Michigan State Police are stonewalling request for the info about what they are downloading. Could it be that they just want all your info on record in-case later you are found dead it help them solve the case? Why yes, I am sure that is it.

So, if Google, Apple, and the police can get this info in a matter of minutes…who else could get it? Surely it is a special program that only secure people have access to right?

Well, here is a video from ABC World News that shows Diane Sawyers phone having the locations of everywhere she has been in the last 10 months downloaded in minutes.

Do you think they had a super secure clearance to get that? Nope anyone can get the app to download your tracking. But, no one would do that, right? Only the police, emergency services, Google, Apple, a Pervert, a suspicious husband, an abusive ex, a stalker…no one that would ever use the info to hurt you or your child.

So, just go on with your life, none of that stuff matters as long as no one ever gets a hold of your cell phone.

Oh, you might want to check your tail lights before you drive anywhere (at least in Michigan). Because if Mark Fancher, attorney at the ACLU Michigan can’t find out what info they are getting from your phone…you may never know until it is used against you. So, double check that none of your contacts could ever be involved in a crime (guilt by association), that you have not been near any crime areas (puts you ate the scene of the crime), that you have never texted that you want to kill your kids or husband (every parent has said that but, it could be a real death threat), and make sure that you have plenty of money in the bank (the person with your info might need a few things).
Glad we live in the Home of the Free…oh never mind.
