this site is getting better by the day…and night…thanks to Farmboy, onthebeach,kolton, and so many other fantastic posters. Appreciate your insights and common sense intellect…rarer than gold.
Some pesky neighbors probably complained…then the gestapo showed up. The West is having record years of drought and is running out of water…seems they are trying to speed up the process!

Woman, 70
Bloody nose for having a dry lawn
‘He really abused me,’ resident says after arrest by Orem police officer

OREM - Two days after Independence Day, 70-year-old Betty Perry experienced an ordeal she said shouldn’t be happening in America.
The retired military and U.S. government employee answered the door at her home Friday morning to talk with a police officer about her bone-dry lawn and ended up getting arrested and suffering a bloody nose.
“What have I done?” she asked. “I’m old now. I can’t believe this.”
The Orem police officer, as yet unnamed by city officials, cited Perry for violating a city ordinance with her “sadly neglected and dying landscape,” which resembles dry hay.
When Perry refused to give her name and tried to walk inside to call her son, the officer tried to arrest her, police say. According to a police news release, while she was struggling, she tripped and fell on her doorstop, cutting open the bridge of her nose.
But Perry maintains the officer split her nose when he hit her with the set of handcuffs he was trying to restrain her with.
“As far as I’m concerned, he really abused me - he brutally abused me,” Perry said. “For what?”
The officer called for backup, because he was driving a truck, and the now-handcuffed Perry was taken to a holding facility in Orem. She was not given water or allowed to wash her hands or call her son, she said.
“After being booked, supervisors became aware of the circumstances and immediately released the woman and returned her to her home on the basis that there were other options available to handle this situation besides making an arrest and holding the woman in jail,” Orem police Lt. Doug Edwards wrote in the news release.
Edwards described the arresting officer as intelligent and professional, and he expected the “learning experience” would not be wasted on him.
Perry was taken to Timpanogos Regional Hospital and treated for her wounds. Besides the cut nose, she sustained bruises on her arms from the handcuffs.
Perry, an avid cross-country RV-driver who recently got back from a trip to Florida, said she has never had a run-in with the law, not even a traffic ticket.
Perry bought her home near 1500 South and 800 East 11 years ago to give to her son. She said she loved the view of the mountains from her property. She said she’s spent $25,000 on indoor renovations but just hasn’t had the time or money to fix the lawn.
She said she was approached about the problem last year but didn’t hear from officers again after a first warning. She said she hasn’t been able to get help from Orem or Provo for irrigation or weed removal.
“Nobody, especially an elderly person like her, deserves to be treated like this,” said Jason Dauria, a friend.
“I’m sure she had no intent to do any harm,” said Charles Kirby, bishop of the local LDS ward. “She’s a great lady.”
Perry, who isn’t sure whether she’ll pursue legal action, said she never expected anything like this to happen to her at her age.
“I’m thoroughly exhausted,” she said. “I’m very distraught about all this.”

At the Ron Paul Meeting in Las Vegas yesterday…
(SeattleSun) Jul 08, 16:57
…at Ballys response was so overwheling that Ballys security had to step in and turn people away due to fire restrictions on the number of people in the room.
Ron Paul was reviewing issues and when he can to The Federal Reserve and the value of the dollar he said, the Fed Reserve had to be shut down.
The result was a standing ovation from a packed house that ran for 5 minutes of what I consider just average moms and pops and even lots of young people.
I came to the conclusion that even Joe Six Pack and Susie SUV are figuring it out.
Maybe there is a U-Tube piece on that as there were lots of videos there.

Comment: The master of cut and paste, the crier that GE is for Discussion of gold ONLY…is posting about politics. ??? OK,…thats it…the world has come to an end…and once again…I am the last to know. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
(Guess anything for a post nowdays at GE…LOLOLOL)
It’s all about selective enforcement, revival of archaic or archane laws when it behooves them, and treatment of the worthy as unworthy and the unworthy as worthy. It’s part of the created caos, some by mishap, most by intention and plan.
The State Department had (and probably still has) no system to determine if the visas they issue from consolates around the globe are actually used. They also don’t have a way of knowing if the person left the country (USA) and returned to the issuing country, or if the person stayed.
Kennedy routinely fabricated numbers that INS (now ICE) had not even tabulated at the time. I used to sneak into INS and open file cabinets myself and look to see just what INS knew.
Thank God for people like ol’ George, and for you.
The property in Belize sounds like paradise, especially with the cultivated acerage Shamrock … Irish described. Wowie.
oops. see above post.
OH….IM taking these docs, well….at least thier tests a little serious. Started walking, and taking thier damn meds for now. (Moggy, once all the test results are in, I may need an hour or two of your time). For now, just trying to get the lab figures to fall within more normal range.
Hated…Hated I tell you this recent trip to the docs. Becuase of a change of Medical Coverage, some HMO…my ole docs who knew me best where not on ‘Their list’. This meant…all new Primary Physicians….and that meant…I had to deal with a whole host of folks that had never seen me. Went a little like this….Farmboy…we need to get your vitals..yeah ok….Farmboy…can you remove your shirt…yeah ok…what is that scar? Told em….thats from a Russian rocket part…..what is that scar? Told em….part of a grenade…that will show up in the chest Xray…..asked me to remove trousers…asked…FArmboy…what is this cicular scar…that is a bullet entrance…..Farmboy? what is this mess here pointing to a scar…told em…thats where I had a wound, and had to stitch it up myself…yeah..it aint pretty…did the best I could with a one handed bed mattress stitch….but hey! it worked doc.
After half an hour, grew tired of thier questions, just handed them a 6 inch file of my med history and told him to go read it. ( Funny, I dont make many friends in the docs office??)
And told em,….just give me the lab results…and of course your recodmenations for drugs…and I will procede from there. (Got the impression, they werent use to being talked to like that)
Anyways…working on the temporary road to recovery….and a better understanding for a more long term view. And…if Irish needs me….unless I just keel over…I will be there.
Ditto for you, or any other Gold Tenter…it aint like Im going to live forever anyways.
Best, Farmboy
Hmmm..the year was 1986/87. Got a phone call in the middle of the night. Seems a former DEA Agent had a request of ole Farmboy. One of thier informants from the MIddle East was here in the states and the Immigration people were threatening to send his butt back. Name was…George. Worked for DEA in ME, former Syrian, who had a couple degrees from Russian Univesertiy of Kiev, spoke 5 languages, including English. Anyways, friend wanted to know if I could ‘hide’ said illegal immigrant that had been employed by our intel agencies for 7 years overseas and now wanted to live in the good ole US. So…for the next couple years, I ‘hid’ George while the official US Immigration folks scratched thier butts…made George and his legal attorneys jump through a dozen legal hoops. I guess they finally granted this man who had spent all those years undercover, risking his life in the ME…helping our intel agencies…..they finally granted him a ‘Green Card’. Last I heard of ‘George’, was after 9-11, the FBI hired him as an arabic interpretur and is now working to save our collective butts here in the US.
All I know, is I, and George, are a little ticked off…how they treated him….threatened to deport him with DEA/FBI agents testifying in his behalf….and at the same time, allowing 20 million unknown illegals to cross the border and work here.
Guess that about explains…my view of the Immigration Service. And the Bill that was just recently attempted to ram down the American’s throat.
Farmboy…who thinks that if that is how they treat an Ex Intel agent, who put his life on the line for seven years….well….those in Washington know where they can shove it.
you gots to get better asap. irish has “the fever”. he will inform you on your call.
rno
The last pole I heard….14% approval rating for congress….They’r shooting for zero!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the up tick on short sales was eliminated for the sole purpose of pummeling gold shares.
We’re not happy ’til you’re not happy.
Even seemingly great deals were snubbed. Example: a two-bedroom condo on Claughton Island Drive in Miami bought last June for $690,000. The outstanding balance on the loan was $588,062, but the lender was willing to let the property go for $373,900.
Nah…ole sawbones and friends have taken away the shine, jack daniels, and beer. Did say I could have a glass or two of red wine. Thats kinda like telling a goldfish, you cant swim in water anymore, but 30 weight motor oil would be ok.
Well, you know me, I was honest with those medical types. I told em I would excercise, go along with thier 2,000 calorie diet for diabetics…which means I can eat celery. But I wasnt given up my Jack, or Cuban cigars.
They called me names, even wrote me up in thier charts. Wrote…’patient non compliant’. Figured…what the heck, have checked self out of hospital on more than one occasion. Even had to sign a form saying I ‘admitted that I would die if I left hospital care’. Course, that was 5 years ago. I reckon, one of these days they will be right. Still got that paper somewhere, cuase I look at it…and laugh.
ONe of these days, I need to look up the ER doc that made me sign that paper, and get his opinion on when that day I will die is exactly. The ER doc even told me….’We cant prescribe any pain killer since you are leaving AMA. (Against Medical Advice). I smiled, told him…what made him think he had the only game in pain killer in town. Asked him, You got anything that will touch 180 proof? He just kind of gave me a funny look.
Farmboy, who keeps a med kit with DW5, IV, and morphine, and a little ’shine’, just in case.
NOw, this damn diabetes/glucose thing….well…I aint quite figured that one out yet. LOL
Treasonist sell outs to the illuminati Jekyl Island Federal Reserve Banking cartel. Therefore, they are part of the program to implode the USA, especially the middle class, via huge spending, illegals by the millions (who use schools, lawyers, social services, taxpayer subsidies in general by the billions each year). The Congress/Senate has done nothing intentionally. I worked as a researcher for the lobbyist for immigration reform in 1980-1 in D.C. for this very issue. The problems with illegals were known then.
