"There's a report out tonight that 24-years ago I was apprehended in Kennebunkport, Maine, for a DUI. That's an accurate story. I'm not proud of that. I oftentimes said that years ago I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much and I did on that night. I was pulled over. I admitted to the policeman that I had been drinking. I paid a fine. And I regret that it happened. But it did. I've learned my lesson."

"Cheney’s first DWI conviction came in November 1962 when he was 21. According to the docket from Cheyenne’s Municipal Court, Cheney was arrested for drunkenness and 'operating motor vehicle while intoxicated.' A Cheyenne Police Judge found Cheney guilty of the two charges and hit him with a 30-day suspension of his driver’s license. Cheney also had to forfeit a $150 bond posted at the time of his arrest. Further information about the case - such as the defendant’s blood alcohol content or whether Cheney was jailed following the arrest - is unavailable since other court records from that period have been destroyed, according to Wyoming officials. Details of Cheney’s second Wyoming arrest in July 1963, have also fallen victim to time and records destruction practices at the local Municipal Court. But a police arrest card maintained by the Rock Springs Police Department shows that Cheney was fined $100 for his second DWI conviction. The card lists the charge against Cheney, who was then working as a groundman laying power lines, as “11-44,” the criminal code classification for drunken driving, according to Police Chief Neil Kourbelas. At the time of the Rock Springs arrest, Kourbelas said that local cops and judges would not have known that young Cheney was a repeat offender. The police department, Kourbelas said, “wouldn’t have had the ability to automatically check with other jurisdictions to find out if anyone had prior arrests or convictions. We could have arrested Jack the Ripper back then and had no idea what he had done.”

"The below was posted on the Fox News website. 'Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, of Wheaton, was arrested Monday evening while driving away from a fast-food restaurant in the suburb 20 miles west of Chicago, police said. Three children were inside Banaszewski’s van when someone called police to report a suspected intoxicated driver, said Deputy Chief Tom Meloni. Meloni would not release Banaszewski’s blood-alcohol level. He also declined to give the children’s ages or say whether Banaszewski had a previous record. She was released on a personal recognizance bond. The DuPage County Circuit Court had no information Wednesday about a whether a court appearance had been scheduled. A message left at Banaszewski’s home was not immediately returned and Meloni did not know whether she had an attorney. Scalia, who began serving on the United States Supreme Court in 1986, has nine children.' The Georgia DUI blog has learned that attorney Don Ramsell will be representing her. We don’t look for this case to be like many other high-profile DUI cases where the accused immediately comes out with an apology, a guilty plea and rehab.

"I must vigorously dissent from the well-written opinion of the majority, as it seems we are coming perilously close to turning a blind eye to questionable conduct by our police officers. While I acknowledge that our police officers are charged with the awesome and sometimes onerous responsibility of protecting the public, I cannot sanction the whisperings of the majority that that protection comes at the deprivation of the constitutional rights of citizenship. We do not want a police state, and it seems we are on the precipice of becoming one, in the name of DUI. I suggest that the Court, and the police, can ill afford to sanction this type of conduct."

"The governor of Utah has two problems with a State Senate proposal to scan the IDs of everyone who visits a bar in the state and make that database available to law enforcement officials. Gov. Jon Huntsman told The Associated Press, 'I think that for most people that is a rather frightening, almost Orwellian, proposition.' Utah already has the strictest alcohol laws in the country, requiring tipplers to become members of any bar they patronize by paying a small fee and filling out a brief application. Huntsman, a Republican, at the behest of bar and restaurant owners, asked the state legislature to review the club law and consider replacing it with electronic scanners that could determine if a patron was under the legal drinking age of 21 years. In doing so, some lawmakers from his own party realized that the information obtained by those scanners could be used by the police to investigate drunken driving incidents and proposed creating a database to store that information. The proposal has met with opposition from the governor, bar owners, civil liberties groups and drinkers who believe it encroaches on individual privacy. 'If we're going to have a database, I think that's great but it needs to be open to the public,' said Jay Chambers, 33, of Salt Lake City. 'I want to see everyone, every legislator's record of what bars they've been to.' Under state dram shop laws, bars that overserve alcohol to drunken patrons involved in hit-and-run incidents can be sued by a victim or a victim's family. 'What's important to MADD is not so much the database as much as it is assurance that a record is kept so someone can make a dram shop liability case,' said Art Brown the chapter's spokesman."

"Police officers administering tests used to determine whether a motorist is guilty of a serious drunk driving offense may not actually know what they are doing. The Ohio Inspector General yesterday released a scathing report that accused a state highway patrol post of cheating on tests used to certify proficiency with breathalyzer units. 'Cheating, no matter the circumstances, has no place in a law enforcement agency. It cannot be tolerated, encouraged, or condoned.' Conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) carries harsh penalties that can cost more than $10,000 in fines and attorney fees. Under current law, a guilty or not guilty verdict often rests solely on the results produced by machines that estimate the amount of alcohol in the blood based upon a breath reading. Police in Ohio may only use these machines if they have up-to-date certification from the state Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Testing, which requires an annual written renewal exam. This cheating was so blatant that five sergeants knew about it, but failed to take any action."

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol analysis is the failure to identify ethanol to the exclusion of all other chemical compounds. Thus a client with other compounds in his blood or breath may have a high 'blood-alcohol' reading with little or no ethanol in his body. If you look at the warranties - it is sort of interesting - none of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually test blood alcohol."

"Nearly 400 people were convicted of driving while intoxicated in the District since fall 2008 based on inaccurate results from breath test machines, and half of them went to jail, city officials said Wednesday. D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles said the machines were improperly adjusted by city police. The jailed defendants generally served at least five days, he said. Nickles's office has begun notifying the drivers, a move that immediately triggered at least one lawsuit against the District and could lead to requests for expungements, new trials and even deeper skepticism about the integrity of testing. The District's badly calibrated equipment would show a driver's blood-alcohol content to be about 20 percent higher than it actually was, Nickles said. All 10 of the breath test machines used by District police were wrong, he said. The problem occurred when the officer in charge of maintaining the machines improperly set the baseline alcohol concentration levels, Nickles said."

"The Rhea County Criminal Court dismissed two counts of driving under the influence ('DUI') against the defendant, Kim Geselbracht. The trial court determined that a law enforcement officer’s ignoring the defendant’s repeated requests for an independent blood test for blood alcohol content ('BAC') denied the defendant his constitutional and statutory rights. The
State appeals, arguing that the trial court erred by dismissing the charges. Upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. Sergeant Miller testified that the breathalyser was programmed to allow three attempts to obtain a sufficient sample. He said that the defendant blew into the breathalyser three times and that, on each occasion, the machine reported “insufficient sample.” After his third attempt, the breathalyser aborted the test. Sergeant Miller then restarted the machine to conduct another test, which required another 20-minute waiting period. The defendant’s second test showed a BAC of .16 percent. The defendant told Deputy Davis that he did not realize he was hesitating and that he had drunk two or three beers
during the five-hour period he spent at the Paradise Bar. The defendant testified that Deputy Davis asked him to exit his vehicle. The defendant said that Deputy Davis 'rather abruptly” took off the defendant’s glasses and then asked him to do the walk and turn test. The defendant did not recall whether Deputy Davis explicitly instructed him to touch his heel to his toe. He testified that after the test, Deputy Davis arrested him for DUI. He maintained that Deputy Davis did not administer a horizontal gaze nystagmus test or a one-leg stand test. The defendant stated that he initially refused to submit to the
breathalyser test because, from his understanding, 'you never take a breathaly[s]er that a blood test was much more reliable.' He said, 'I wanted to have a blood test to make sure that I wouldn’t get into something like this with the breathaly[s]er.' The defendant testified that he '[v]ery explicitly' told Sergeant Miller that he wanted a blood test '[n]umerous times' but that Sergeant Miller stated that the defendant was “not going to get a blood test.' The defendant further testified that Sergeant Miller threatened to arrest his wife for public drunkenness if he did not submit to the breathalyser. He testified that, after 'several back and forths' he consented to the breathalyser. He stated that, during the 20-minute waiting period, Sergeant Miller did not watch him as he had testified but instead performed other tasks about the
station. The defendant testified that, the first two times he blew into the breathalyser 'zeros came up' and that Sergeant Miller declared, '[T]here’s something wrong with this machine.' The defendant stated that Sergeant Miller then moved him to another part of the room where he could not see the machine. Sergeant Miller returned later and asked him to attempt the breathalyser again. He also stated that Sergeant Miller denied his requests for a blood test after he took the breathalyser test. The defendant said, 'I asked afterwards and they said there’s no need, we’ve got what we want, and you’re going to jail.' The trial court’s order explained that the defendant’s ignorance of the requirements to individually pay for and arrange transportation for an independent blood test did not affect his right to possibly mitigating evidence. The court reasoned that the 'actions / inactions of Officer Miller in ignoring the [d]efendant’s request for an independent test was tantamount to suppression of evidence by the State which was possibly favorable to the [d]efendant' and that such action frustrated the reasonable efforts of the defendant to obtain exculpatory evidence. The court concluded that the defendant was
denied 'both his statutory rights and his due process rights' and that 'the only proper remedy is dismissal of the case.'"

The man claimed the alcohol reading was the result of eating a Bubble O' Bill ice cream treat and Magistrate Rod Crisp ordered a test to be performed to back up the claim. Police recorded the man's blood alcohol content as 0.00 and performed the test a second time after he took a few bites of Bubble O' Bill, yielding a 0.018 reading. Crisp granted the man's request to remove the breath testing device from his car. Experts said consuming some foods or drinks before breath tests can cause a false positive reading."

"In a dark but little-known chapter of U.S. history, the federal government ordered the poisoning of alcohol supplies to deter and punish those who sought to flout Prohibition-era bans. Starting in 1906, the United States began requiring manufacturers of industrial ethanol to put the chemical through a process to distinguish it from the identical substance found in alcoholic beverages. After the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcohol was banned by the 18th Amendment and the government cracked down on smuggling operations, bootleggers turned to chemistry to keep their customers supplied. A simple process was used to extract toxic chemicals from the industrial alcohol used in paints, solvents, fuels and medicine, and this relatively clean alcohol was then used to make beverages. By the mid-1920s, an estimated 60 million gallons of industrial alcohol were being stolen per year. In response, the administration of President Calvin Coolidge ordered industry to add higher levels of more difficult-to-remove poisons to their alcohol, including acetone, benzene, cadmium, camphor, carbolic acid, chloroform, ether, formaldehyde, gasoline, iodine, kerosene, methyl alcohol, mercury salts, nicotine, quinine and zinc. Shortly after the institution of this campaign, 31 people were poisoned to death over the course of the Christmas holiday in New York City alone. Historians estimate that a total of 10,000 people were killed by the program before Prohibition ended in 1933."

"Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charles Bannister vowed Tuesday to turn in the keys to his county car, but not his resignation, following his arrest on a drunken driving charge. The arrest was unusual in several ways, including Bannister’s score of .000 on an alcohol breath test. 'I am making the results of the state-administered breath test results public which indicates that the machine was working properly and the test results were 0, which indicates no presence of alcohol in my system.' Bannister was taken to the county jail, where he agreed to submit to a breath test for alcohol. 'I can’t believe this is all over one to two beers,' Cummings quoted Bannister as saying. The test came back .000. The arrest fueled some chatter about Bannister’s relations with Sheriff Butch Conway, who said he’s aware of accusations about political payback. The sheriff backed Bannister’s primary opponent, Lorraine Green, in 2008, and relations between the two have not thawed much since. Ben Sessions, a Gwinnett-based lawyer who handles DUI cases, said the scenario strikes him as extremely unusual. 'That’s a hard-core investigation,' he said.

“After learning that Miller had been arrested once before for DUI, Deputy Wagester administered five standard field sobriety tests in the freezing weather, insisting that Miller failed four of them. Miller refused a breathalyzer test, saying he only trusted the accuracy of blood tests. Wagester responded by slamming Miller against his patrol car, handcuffing him and driving him to a hospital for the blood test. Wagester charged miller with: failure to use a seatbelt, no proof of registration, no proof of insurance, reckless driving, refusal to submit to a breath test, minor in possession, and 0.02 percent blood-alcohol-no-tolerance-law violation. The lab eventually reported that Miller's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.00 and that he tested negative for narcotics. Although police dropped the charges, Miller sued for excessive force, false arrest and malicious prosecution. The court of appeals threw out the malicious prosecution charge as they related to the civil infractions like failure to wear a seatbelt and refusing a breath test. Only criminal charges like DUI could be considered malicious prosecution, so the appeals court found that a jury should decide whether Wagester had probable cause to arrest to determine whether the criminal prosecution was malicious. 'The fact that Miller's blood alcohol was found to be 0.00 percent casts doubt on Deputy Wagester's claims that Miller smelled of alcohol and failed the field sobriety tests,' Judge Gilbert S Merritt Jr wrote for the majority. 'Although Wagester's claims, if believed, would constitute probable cause to arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol, a jury could reasonably conclude, in light of the 0.00 percent blood alcohol result and Miller's testimony, that Wagester was being untruthful generally about his observations and did not have probable cause to believe Miller was drinking. In light of the conflict in the evidence, the jury could conclude that Wagester was lying.'”

"Interlock technology was developed to keep chronic drunks off of our roads. And when used for that purpose, interlocks are an effective tool. But the neo-prohibitionist movement is slowly redefining 'drunk.' For most people the term 'drunk' means slurred speech, uncoordinated movements, and delayed reactions. But it only takes one drink in many states for a driver to be arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI). And now anti-alcohol activists want to put an ignition interlock in your car. Since the end goal is preventative, rather than punitive technology, the groups are scrapping the term “ignition interlock” in hopes of also ridding their new campaign of its negative associations. In its place, they’ve coined a new name - Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS). Note the use of 'impaired' as 'drunk.' Even though 0.08 BAC is considered the legal limit in all 50 states, many law enforcement agencies have adopted the position that “there is no absolute ‘legal limit’ except ‘zero.’ Universal interlocks could impose de facto prohibition on responsible adults by making it impossible to drive home from a restaurant, ball game, or any social event where beer, wine, spirits are served if you’ve had just a small amount of alcohol. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administrator Nicole Nason told Automotive News in August 2007 that getting interlock technology every car in America could take decades. But she concluded: 'We have to start now.' “MADD began floating the notion of taking this concept to its logical conclusion: It wants every automobile to come equipped with passive Breathalyzer-like technology that will screen the alcohol level of every driver. Several states, including New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma, have already considered legislation to mandated interlocks on all vehicles.”
—American Beverage Institute, USA Today with Lindsay Lohan, What if ignition interlocks were installed in every car?
"Earlier this week I posted about the increasing practice of police officers in DUI investigations to write arrest reports before the arrest — in fact, before the suspect is even seen driving. This has gotten to the point that computer templates are increasingly used: the officer simply inputs the suspect’s name, address, etc., and prints out a form DUI report with symptoms such as erratic driving, slurred speech, alcoholic breath and impaired balance already entered. This is bad enough, as the reports are supposedly signed under oath and subject to perjury charges. But it becomes particularly serious when you realize that very few officers can remember the details of a given case when testifying months later. In almost all cases, the officers read their own reports before taking the stand — and then testify essentially to what they read in the report. And in DUI cases, they are increasingly testifying based upon a fictional "xeroxed" case. For example, California defense attorney Jon W. Woolsey got a court order requiring the California Highway Patrol to turn over any templates or forms used by the officer who arrested his client for DUI. The following is the template that was used...”

"Lowering the legal drinking age of 21 would put more drunken drivers on the road, criminal justice leaders warn. 'Underage drinkers are far less experienced to make good choices. We should be protecting them,' said Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas. The chief's comments echoed other law enforcement officials attending a National Leadership Conference in Nashville this week who were astonished that some 100 college and university presidents across the country have suggested lowering the legal drinking age. The movement, called the Amethyst Initiative, contends a lower drinking age would deter binge drinking on college campuses. The statement, signed by heads of universities including Duke, Dartmouth and Johns Hopkins, claims that the current drinking age has created a 'culture of dangerous, clandestine, binge drinking' and notes that 18-year-olds can vote and enlist in the military but 'are told they are not mature enough to have a beer.' The statement asks lawmakers to support a public debate and invites new ideas for encouraging alcohol responsibility. Amethyst Initiative founder and former president of Middlebury College John McCardell said the situation facing university presidents was more complex than a liability issue. 'Presidents who would observe the word of law have only abstinence to fall back on to enforce a law that's unenforceable,' McCardell said. 'The 21 age limit has not been very successful in reducing drinking. It clearly isn't working because it is a message of prohibition and a reminder of prohibition's failure.' He also said it was unrealistic to expect underage drinkers to stop drinking in the face of tougher enforcement."

"The Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center has dispatched uniformed and presumably armed (we have no confirmation of the latter) soldiers to assist the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in the operation of unconstitutional sobriety checkpoints in San Bernardino County, California, the largest county in California and the country, east of Los Angeles. Gary Daigneault, News Director at KCDZ-FM based in Joshua Tree, California, said the California Highway Patrol was less than forthcoming with their plan to team up with the military police. After running an editorial last week reminding the Marines stationed at the Marine Corps Air and Ground Combat Center of the illegality of such an operation, the California Highway Patrol sent the radio station a fax indicating that the action would not include military police. By law — to avoid entrapment — the California Highway Patrol is required to provide the location of its checkpoints to the media at least two hours prior. Although the CHP did provide the radio station with a telephone number to get this information, when the number was called there was no answer. Marine Corps military police, in uniform and in marked military police cars, were indeed teamed up with CHP outside of a Home Depot in the town of Yucca Valley. CHP in Joshua Tree deliberately released disinformation to the media designed to cover its participation with the Marines, as noted a direct violation of Posse Comitatus."

"Let me start with law enforcement contacts with respect to traffic stops, for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The Fifth amendment of the Bill of Rights states that we are not to be forced to incrimnate ourselves. The actual wording is, you cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself. If you are stopped for suspicion of DUI, these are your rights regardless of the laws of your state. First of all, you are to deny having consumed any alcoholic beverages whatsoever. You are never to admit to having one or two drinks. If you admit to consuming even one drop of alcohol, you open the door to 'probable cause', allowing the police officer to search your car for open containers. Next, you are never to submit to a Field Sobriety Test. You are to refuse to do so. They cannot make you walk the line, they cannot make you balance or anything else. Now when you are arrested, you are to refuse to allow a blood-alcohol test, regardless of what state law 'requires', such as revocation of driving priveleges for a period of time. That's an attempt to compel you to be a witness against yourself. Supreme Court decisions in this area are very specific with regards to your rights as folows: Lefkowitz vs Turley, and the Fifth Amendment, provides that no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, and permits him to refuse to any any other qustions put to him in any other proceeding, civil or criminal, formal or informal, where the answers might incriminate him in future criminal proceedings."

"Mr. Speaker, my subject today is whether America is a police
state. If we are, what are we going to do about it? Most police states,
surprisingly, come about through the democratic process with majority
support. The masses are easily led to believe that security and liberty
are mutually exclusive, and demand for security far exceeds that for
liberty. Our government already keeps close tabs on just about
everything we do and requires official permission for nearly all of our
activities. One might take a look at our Capitol for any evidence of a
police state. We see: barricades, metal detectors, police, military
soldiers at times, dogs, ID badges required for every move, vehicles
checked at airports and throughout the Capitol. The people are totally
disarmed, except for the police and the criminals. But worse yet,
surveillance cameras in Washington are everywhere to ensure our safety.
Like gun control, people control hurts law-abiding citizens much more
than the law-breakers. Centralized control and regulations are required
in a police state. Not only do we need a license to drive, but we also
need special belts, bags, buzzers, seats and environmentally dictated
speed limits. Or a policeman will be pulling us over to levy a fine, and
he will be toting a gun for sure. Let's reject the police
state." —Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, MD (R-TX, 1988 Libertarian

"While the actions of the SWAT team do not mandate the suppression of evidence seized from the defendant, those actions as they relate to the bar patrons do merit the condemnation of anyone who believes that this country is not, at least for
the moment, a police state. Nevertheless, without any reasonable, articulable suspicion that any of the customers were armed or dangerous or posed any threat to law enforcement officers, the members of the SWAT team restrained and handcuffed the customers at gun point. If the slightest bit of protest or resistance was offered by the customers, that individual
was, according to Sexton “placed” on the ground through physical force. As I indicated earlier, I am astonished and dismayed over this scenario. I am astonished because for twenty-two years it has been the clearly established constitutional law of this country that the patrons of a business about to be searched may not be subjected to this type of treatment absent
some reasonable and articulable suspicion that those patrons are armed or dangerous. See, Ybarra v. Illinois, 444 U.S. 85, 100 S.Ct. 338, 62 L.Ed.2d 238 (1979). And yet the SWAT team in this case acted in absolute contravention of this constitutional principle. I am dismayed because Officer Sexton, the apparent spokesperson for the SWAT team at the suppression hearing, was not only unremorseful for this sorry business, but indicated that he and his team would do the same thing again. Under the principles of operation for the SWAT team described by Officer Sexton the elderly nursing home
patient, the worshiper and the restaurant diner would all be presumed armed and dangerous, and each would be handcuffed, searched and treated the same as the bar patrons in the instant case. I for one find this possibility profoundly disturbing. Somehow this familiar basic tenet of American civic life has become lost on the authorities conducting the search in this case. One can only hope they become reacquainted with it."

"The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5) Using Leape's 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million multiplied by the 14% fatality rate he used in 1994 produces an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors combined. Using this number instead of Lazorou's 106,000 drug errors and the Institute of Medicine 's (IOM) estimated 98,000 annual medical errors would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually. Our estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic* deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history. Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day."

"But the renowned Minnesota Model has its critics, who cite recovery rates of 25 percent or less for conventional treatment programs. One of its most vocal critics is Dr. Joan Mathews-Larson, PhD, founder of Health Recovery Center (HRC), a Minneapolis-based program which has treated several thousand alcoholics and addicts since 1981, using a method based on 'biochemical repair,' rather than talk therapy. Claiming recovery rates of around 75 percent, Mathews-Larson contends traditional treatment programs fail to address biochemical factors that cause chemically dependent people to crave alcohol and/or drugs. Mathews-Larson became involved in the issue in the late 1970's, after her 17-year-old son Rob committed suicide soon after completing alcoholism treatment at a Minneapolis rehab center. Not long before his death, Mathews-Larson suspected her son's post-treatment depression and mood swings might be linked to his consumption of high-sugar foods. Testing by a physician confirmed her son was hypoglycemic. After earning her certificate as a substance-abuse counselor, Mathews-Larson conducted research at a local treatment center showing an 80 percent incidence of hypoglycemia in chemically dependent patients. Other researchers have reported similar data, noting that alcohol is a concentrated form of sugar. Gathering other researchers' findings on the physiology of alcoholism, she designed a program using amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to replace the natural brain chemicals destroyed by alcohol and drugs. Mathews-Larson's book Seven Weeks To Sobriety, first published in 1992, has sold more than 100,000 copies in the U.S. and abroad. Health Recovery Center has been featured on a number of national TV and radio programs, including ABC's 20/20, America's Talking, and the syndicated Susan Powter Show. (Exercise and diet guru Powter is a former HRC patient who published her own book on a similar biochemical recovery method last year.) Traditional treatment programs "all over the U.S. and Canada" have been purchasing HRC's detox formula 'in huge amounts,' Mathews-Larson said."

WARNING:Top Secret Ingredients of Alcohol Beverages - Beer has extremely high mineral content of Bone Ash (calcium phosphate from burned animal bones), Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potasium, which causes kidney damage (rheumatism aka fibromyalgia, tachycardia), kidney stones, heart attacks, and death. Dangerous phosphate level in beer is even higher than in cola (phosphoric acid). Mineral toxic wastes are scammed to the sheeple as "Rocky Mountain Spring Water". This is why alcohol beverages are the only foods not required to display lifesaving ingredient labels. Beer cans leach aluminum (Alzheimers Disease, demensia). Distilled liquor has virtually no mineral toxic waste, and the water is distilled (no mineral scale a/k/a calcium phosphate from limestone rock, a/k/a limestone concrete, a/k/a dental tartar). Wine is also high in Fluorine, the cancerous active ingredient in Prozac and other antidepressant mind-kontrol drugs. Safest to homebrew all beer (Ale) using distilled water, which requires glass bottles (no toxic metals), then not adding "alkalizing" minerals that contain phosphates. Homebrewing beer and wine is legal for non-resale. Distilling water is legal (a/k/a moonshine 'still) and avoids paying up to 80% sales tax.
Alcohol Chemistry - There are several routes of metabolism of ethyl alcohol in the body. The major pathways involve the liver and in particular the oxidation of ethyl alcohol by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). People with alleles (types) of ADH2 and ADH3 may protect those having these genes from developing alcoholism. These genes are common in the Asian population and convert alcohol to acetaldehyde more rapidly than normal. Because of this increased production of acetaldehyde, this toxic compound builds up and makes people who drink too much uncomfortable and ill. Therefore, these carries are discouraged from consuming large amount of alcohol. A similar situation is found in the second step of ethanol metabolism, which is catalyzed by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. This enzyme converts acetaldehyde to acetic acid, which is a normal metabolite in humans and hence is non toxic. Asians, have a defective aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, ALDH2, in that it doesn’t metabolize acetaldehyde as rapidly as normal. Thus, a person who drinks too much builds up acetaldehyde in their system and feels bad or is sick. This manifests in Asians with the defected ALDH gene as a facial flush as they drink. These responses discourage drinking, thus preventing the development of alcohol abuse, dependence, and alcoholism.
Alcohol dehydrogenase - Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a group of seven dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans and many other animals, they serve to break down alcohols which could otherwise be toxic; in yeast and many bacteria, some alcohol dehydrogenases catalyze the opposite reaction as part of fermentation. This allows the consumption of alcoholic beverages, but its evolutionary purpose is probably the breakdown of alcohols naturally contained in foods or produced by bacteria in the digestive tract. Others believe that its evolutionary purpose is involved in vitamin A metabolism, as alcohols are relatively 'empty' calories, providing no nutritional benefit. Humans have at least six slightly different alcohol dehydrogenases. populations from Europe have been found to express an allele for the alcohol dehydrogenase gene that makes it much more active than those found in populations from Asia or the Americas. This may be a correlating evolution with the rise of aldehyde dehydrogenase, which has been suggested as one of the more recognizable recent evolutionary changes in humans (along with lactose tolerance) - in order to make water safe in cities too dense to use springs, Europeans fermented alcoholic (and hence antiseptic) beverages, while Asians typically boiled their water (creating, among other things, tea). This selected for those who didn't suffer from violent alcohol flush response in European populations. There have been studies showing that ADH may have an influence on the dependence on ethanol metabolism in alcoholics. Researchers have tentatively detected a few genes to be associated with alcoholism. If the variants of these genes encode slower metabolizing forms of ADH2 and ADH3, there is increased risk of alcoholism. The studies have found that mutations of ADH2 and ADH3 are related to alcoholism in Asian populations. Drug dependence is another problem associated with ADH, which researchers think might be linked to alcoholism. One particular study suggests that drug dependence has seven ADH genes associated with it. These results may lead to treatments that target these specific genes.
Acetaldehyde - Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in ripe fruit, coffee, and fresh bread, and is produced by plants as part of their normal metabolism. It is popularly known as the chemical that causes hangovers. In the liver, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is then further converted into harmless acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase - In the liver, the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes ethanol into acetaldehyde, which is then further converted into the harmless acetic acid (vinegar) by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is more toxic than alcohol and is responsible for many hangover symptoms. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is known to assist in processing acetaldehyde in the body and therefore can help to relieve hangover symptoms. Some persons of far-Eastern descent have a dominant mutation in their acetaldehyde dehydrogenase gene (specifically, the mitochondrial ALDH2 gene), making this enzyme less effective. In these people, acetaldehyde accumulates after drinking alcohol, leading to symptoms of acetaldehyde poisoning, including the characteristic flushing of the skin and increased heart and respiration rates. Individuals with deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity are far less likely to become alcoholics, but seem to be at a greater risk of liver damage, alcohol-induced asthma, and contracting cancers of the oro-pharynx and esophagus due to acetaldehyde overexposure. The drug disulfiram (Antabuse) also prevents the oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid, with the same unpleasant effects for drinkers. It is used in the treatment of alcoholism. Metronidazole (Flagyl) causes the same effects. This drug is used to treat certain parasitic infections as well as pseudomembranous colitis.

"A new book by Texas author J.H. Hatfield claims that George W. Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972, but had his record expunged with help from his family's political connections. In an afterword to his book Fortunate Son: George W. Bush and the Making of an American President, Hatfield says he took a second look at the Bush cocaine allegations after a story in Salon reporting allegations that Bush did community service for the crime at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Houston's Third Ward. The Texas governor had admitted to working at Houston's Project P.U.L.L. in 1972, and Hatfield says he began to wonder if that was actually the community service sentence. Hatfield says he confirmed those suspicions with three sources close to the Bush family. By contrast, 'First Son: George W. Bush and the Family Dynasty,' by Dallas Morning News reporter Bill Minutaglio, says George Bush Sr. referred his son to Project P.U.L.L. after an incident in which George W. drove drunk with his younger brother Marvin in the car. But Hatfield quotes "a high-ranking advisor to Bush" who confirmed that Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in Houston in 1972, and had the record expunged by a judge who was 'a fellow Republican and elected official' who helped Bush get off 'with a little community service at a minority youth center instead of having to pick cotton on a Texas prison farm.' Hatfield quotes a former Yale classmate who told him: "George W. was arrested for possession of cocaine in 1972, but due to his father's connections, the entire record was expunged by a state judge whom the older Bush helped get elected. It was one of those 'behind closed doors in the judges' chambers' kind of thing between the old man and one of his Texas cronies who owed him a favor ... There's only a handful of us that know the truth." Hatfield also says that when he asked Scott McClellan to comment on the allegation of a former Yale classmate of Bush's that the presidential hopeful was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and had his record expunged in exchange for community service at Project P.U.L.L., the Bush campaign spokesman said, sotto voce, 'Oh, shit,' followed by, 'No comment.'"

"Robin Rae Brown had packed a clay bowl and a 'smudge stick,' a stalk-like bundle of sage, sweet grass, and lavender that she had bought at an airport gift shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She returned to her pickup truck to find Broward County’s Deputy Sheriff Dominic Raimondi and Florida Fish and Wildlife’s Lieutenant David Bingham looking inside the cab. 'Smells like marijuana to me,' said Raimondi, who admitted he had never heard of a smudge stick. He then ordered Robin to stand by her truck, while he took the incense back to his car and conducted a common field test, known as a Duquenois-Levine, or D-L, test. The result was positive for marijuana. Robin protested, telling them the smudge was available for purchase online for about $7 and gave them the name of a Web site that sold it — information Officer Bingham used his laptop to verify. But the men still searched her truck. After an hour and a half they finally allowed Robin to go home and told her that if a lab test confirmed the field test results, a warrant would be issued for her arrest. Exactly 90 days later, Robin was arrested at the spa in Weston, Florida where she has worked as a massage therapist for three years. She was handcuffed in front of clients and co-workers, and charged with felony possession of marijuana. She was brought to a local police precinct in the town of Davie where she was booked and held for three hours. Unable to post the $1,000 bail because she was not allowed to call her boyfriend Michael, she was transferred to the Women’s Correctional Facility in Pompano Beach. At no time was she read her rights. The next day, Robin found a lab and submitted to voluntary hair and urine tests. These came back clean. She had previously worked for 16 years as a transportation systems specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration, a job that required airport security clearances, so drug tests were nothing new to her. She later learned that her incense had never been subjected to a confirmatory lab test. In June 2006, the Virginia legislature went so far as to pass 'emergency regulations' permitting law-enforcement officers to testify at trial for simple possession of marijuana cases solely on the basis of a D-L field test. Prior to these regulations, officers had to send suspected material to an approved lab for testing. Nothing in the new legislation specified that the field tests used had to be specific, or even accurate. Frederic Whitehurst, a North Carolina-based defense attorney and former FBI special agent with a doctorate in chemistry, considers the law to be an unconstitutional usurpation of the authority of the courts to determine what test results can be admitted as valid evidence. The trend toward police officers using the D-L as a confirmatory test has been encouraged by the National Institute of Justice, an agency of the Department of Justice which has funded programs to transform police officers into court experts, based on their use of these faulty field tests. One such ongoing program for the Utah police claims to offer, in four days, 'the necessary training” to positively identify marijuana, which would allow officers to serve as 'expert witnesses in the courtroom setting.' The program briefly covers the “botany, chemistry and analysis of marijuana preparations,' after which police officers, including street detectives and crime scene lab personnel, “will assume responsibility for all of their agency’s marijuana submissions.” By the end of 2005, such submissions became the exclusive provenance of the Utah officers who had attended the training, and suspected marijuana samples were no longer accepted at the state lab for processing. In 2009, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation trained more than 1,600 police officers in the use of the D-L test, resulting in a 98 percent reduction in the use of marijuana lab tests. This troubling program garnered the bureau a 2009 Vollmer Excellence in Forensic Science Award by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Despite its widespread use, as early as the 1960s, the D-L test had been proven incapable of definitively identifying the presence of marijuana in a seized substance. A 1968 article in the Chemistry and Pharmacy Bulletin of Japan reported that the D-L tests 'lack in adequate specificity.' In 1969, M. J. de Faubert Maunder, a chemist in the Ministry of Technology, a UK government agency, documented the unreliability of the D-L test in an article in the Bulletin on Narcotics, noting that test results depended heavily on the subjective judgment of the analyst — and thus could easily vary dramatically from lab to lab. Moreover, he reported finding twenty-five plant substances that would produce a D-L test result barely distinguishable from that of Cannabis and cautioned that the D-L test 'should never be relied upon as the only positive evidence.' Several articles in the Journal of Forensic Sciences further disproved any claims that the test could specifically identify marijuana. A 1969 study in the journal reported false positive results from 'a variety of vegetable extracts.' Still another study, in 1974, showed that 12 of 40 plant oils and extracts studied gave positive D-L test results. A 1972 study found that the D-L test would test positive for many commonly occurring plant substances known as resorcinols, which are found in over-the-counter medicines. For instance, Sucrets lozenges tested positive for marijuana. In 1979, a trial judge in North Carolina blocked the marijuana conviction of Richard Tate, which was to be based on positive D-L test results. In this case, too, the trial judge found that the D-L test was 'not specific for marijuana' and had 'no scientific acceptance as a reliable and accurate means of identifying the controlled substance marijuana.' On that basis, the judge allowed the defendant to suppress the use of the test results as evidence. This finding was upheld by the North Carolina Supreme Court, which found that D-L test 'was not scientifically acceptable because it was not specific for marijuana' and thus 'the test results were properly suppressed.' Also in 1979, the U.S. Supreme Court in Jackson v. Virginia ruled that the results of nonspecific tests could not be the basis for prosecution or conviction. In other words, if the only evidence is a positive D-L test, then the case must be dismissed. Robin Rae Brown never even faced trial on marijuana possession charges. After she was released from jail, she retained this author as a defense expert. When I first spoke with her attorney, Bill Ullman, he had never heard of the D-L test and said he normally plea-bargained cases like Robin’s. At Ullman’s insistence, the sheriff’s department finally performed a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis on Robin’s smudge, which came out negative. State Attorney Berki Alvarez immediately dropped the charges against her, noting to Ullman, 'the scariness that a person could be arrested under such conditions.' Even scarier was the lab’s revelation that it does not conduct GC/MS analysis until just before a trial, as most marijuana possession defendants plea bargain before the trial. After some serious thought, she recently decided to file a lawsuit for wrongful arrest. 'I would like to see them stop using the bogus field tests and to improve their procedures at the county crime lab,' she says. 'I would like the public to be aware of the faulty field tests.'"

Meanwhile, NATO spokesman James Appathurai voiced understanding for Russian concerns, given the country’s estimated 200,000 heroin and morphine addicts and the tens of thousands dying each year as a result of their addiction. However, he went on to say that the Afghan drug problem had to be handled carefully in an effort to avoid alienating local residents. 'We share the view that it has to be tackled,' the spokesman said. 'But there is a slight difference of views,' Appathurai added. 'We cannot be in a situation where we remove the only source of income for people who live in the second poorest country in the world without being able to provide them an alternative. That is simply not possible,' the NATO official explained. According to statistics provided by Ivanov, Russia was the single largest consumer of heroin in 2008. Moscow blames NATO for the surge in heroin trafficking from Afghanistan to Russia. The production of opium in Afghanistan has skyrocketing since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001."

"Not content with savaging American taxpayers with two huge new financial burdens during an economic recession, in the form of health care reform and cap and trade, close allies of Barack Obama have proposed a new war surtax that will force Americans to foot the bill for the cost of protecting opium fields in Afghanistan, paying off drug lords, and bribing the Taliban. Warning that the cost of occupying Afghanistan is a threat to the Democrats’ plan to overhaul health care, lawmakers have announced their plan to make Americans pay an additional war tax that will be taken directly from their income, never mind the fact that around 36 per cent of federal taxes already go to paying for national defense. 'Regardless of whether one favors the war or not, if it is to be fought, it ought to be paid for,' the lawmakers, all prominent Democratic allies of Obama, said in a joint statement on the Share The Sacrifice Act of 2010, reports AFP. The move is being led by the appropriately named House Appropriations Committee Chairman Dave Obey, Representative John Murtha, who chairs that panel’s defense subcommittee; and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank. The tax would apply to anyone earning as little as $22,600 per year in 2011. What precisely would this extra tax be used to pay for? Namely, bribing the Taliban, paying off CIA drug lords, and protecting heroin-producing opium fields. Numerous reports over the past two weeks have confirmed that the U.S. military is paying off the Taliban with bags of gold to prevent them from attacking vehicle convoys, proving that there is no real 'war' in Afghanistan, merely a business agreement that allows the occupiers to continue their lucrative control of record opium exports while they finalize construction of dozens of new military bases from which to launch new wars. The Afghan opium trade has exploded since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, following a lull after the Taliban had imposed a crackdown. According to the U.N., the drug trade is now worth $65 billion. Afghanistan produces 92 per cent of the world’s opium, with the equivalent of at least 3,500 tonnes leaving the country each year. This racket is secured by drug kingpins like the brother of disputed president Hamid Karzai. As a New York Times report revealed last month, Ahmed Wali Karzai, a Mafia-like figure who expanded his influence over the drug trade with the aid of U.S. efforts to eliminate his competitors, is on the CIA payroll."

"The Gulfstream II jet that crash landed in the Mexican Yucatan in late September carrying close to four tons of cocaine was part of an operation being carried out by a Department of Homeland Security agency, DEA sources have revealed to Narco News. The operation, codenamed 'Mayan Express,' is an ongoing effort spearheaded by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the sources claim. The information surfaced during a high-level meeting at DEA headquarters in mid-December, DEA sources familiar with the meeting assert. Those sources have requested anonymity out of fear they will be retaliated against by the government for revealing the information. The operation also appears to be badly flawed, the sources say, because it is being carried out unilaterally, (Rambo-style), by ICE and without the knowledge of the Mexican government — at least it was up until the point of the coke-packed Gulfstream jet’s abrupt impact with the Earth. 'This is a case of ICE running amok,' one DEA source told Narco News. 'If this [operation] was being run by the book, they would not be doing it unilaterally' – without the participation of DEA – 'and without the knowledge of the Mexican government.' The fact that the Gulfstream was forced to ditch over the Yucatan after being refused landing clearance at two Mexican airports is strong evidence that this operation, if ICE operated as alleged, does not have the proper controls in place, law enforcement sources told Narco News. If the operation was being adequately monitored and controlled by U.S. law enforcement, in coordination with Mexican authorities, the jet would have been directed to a safe landing zone, they add. Mexican law enforcers subsequently apprehended the two pilots of the downed jet. Neither one of them appears to be a U.S. citizen, according to Mexican press accounts. Narco News has previously reported that the bill of sale for the Gulfstream jet — which was sold only weeks before its crash landing — lists an individual named Greg Smith, whose name also shows up in public documents that indicate he worked as a pilot in the past for an operation involving the FBI, DEA and CIA that targeted narco-traffickers in Colombia. Mexican law enforcement authorities recently arrested an alleged money launder, Pedro Alfonso Alatorre Damy, who they contend is linked to the Sinaloa narco-trafficking organization. They claim the narco-trafficking organization financed the purchases of the Gulfstream II as well as a DC-9 jet that was busted by Mexican authorities last April with a payload of some 5.5 tons of cocaine. Both jets were sold while parked at the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, according to a recent report by Howard Altman of the Tampa Tribune. The alleged involvement of ICE in a unilateral counter-narcotics operation in a foreign nation is unusual (though not unprecedented) because DEA is supposed to be the lead U.S. agency in such efforts. ICE, however, generated a major controversy when it ran an operation several years ago targeting the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes (VCF) narco-trafficking organization in Juarez, Mexico. As part of that operation, ICE placed an informant (a former Mexican cop) inside a VCF cell in Juarez and continued the operation even after ICE agents became aware of their informant’s participation in murder. That case, since dubbed the House of Death resulted in some 12 people being tortured, murdered and buried in the back yard of a house in Juarez – all in an effort to make a drug case against a VCF lieutenant."

"In an earlier order in this case, the court set out the relevant facts. See Midland National Bank v. Puritan Insurance Co., No. 83-1707-K (D.Kan. July 29, 1986). While the court adopts the facts as stated in its earlier order, it is beneficial to reiterate the essential facts in this case. In December of 1982, Conlogue was contacted by Blanton, an agent and representative of the United States Customs Service. Seeking to lease the King Air from Conlogue, Blanton stated the Customs Service needed the aircraft for tracking purposes in a special undercover investigation. Blanton further advised Conlogue that the aircraft would be flown only by a qualified pilot, that it would be fully protected, and that it would be returned to him within a week or two after the Customs Service took possession of it. Conlogue agreed to lease the aircraft to the government. Blanton specified the lease was to be between Conlogue and Raia, who Blanton stated was another customs agent. Further, Blanton cautioned Conlogue that the lease by the Customs Service was a secret operation; Conlogue was not to disclose to anyone the fact that the King Air was rented by the government. Conlogue was told that any leak could result in the death of customs agents and could hinder the government's investigation. Conlogue entered the lease with Raia on December 21, 1982. The lease stated that the King Air was to be returned in the same condition as when it was leased. Subsequently, the customs agents took possession of the aircraft. On January 3, 1983, the King Air, loaded with contraband, crash landed at sea approximately three miles from Grand Cayman Island. No customs agents were on board the plane. Both the pilot and the passenger were arrested by Grand Cayman police and were charged with illegal possession and importation of marijuana. The King Air was a total loss. Following the crash, Blanton continued to advise Conlogue that the secrecy needed to be maintained. Blanton directed Conlogue to file a claim with his insurance company for payment of the loss, but promised that if the insurance company did not pay, the United States would make full restitution. The intervening plaintiffs filed the insurance claim with the defendant and third party plaintiff, Puritan Insurance Company ("Puritan"). Subsequently, the present action was filed by Midland National Bank of Newton, Kansas, which had a security interest in the King Air. Seeking over $220,000.00 for the lost aircraft plus incidental damages in excess of $200,000.00, the intervening plaintiffs filed suit against Puritan, Blanton, and the United States. The intervening plaintiffs have also filed a breach of contract action against the United States in the United States Claims Court. This court, in a previous order, dismissed Blanton, individually, from the suit, based on his immunity from state law tort liability as an agent of the federal government acting within the scope of employment. Midland National Bank v. Puritan Insurance Company, No. 83-1707-K, slip op. at 19-21 (D.Kan. July 29, 1986). After several months it became apparent that Puritan was going to refuse to pay because of the suspicious circumstances of the loss. In this court's memorandum order of March 22, 1989, it noted the possible application of Leaf v. United States, 661 F.2d 740 (9th Cir.1981), cert. denied, 456 U.S. 960, 102 S.Ct. 2036, 72 L.Ed.2d 484 (1982). Upon review, it is clear that Leaf provides no bar to the maintenance of the negligence claims against the United States in the present case. In Leaf, a DEA informant had leased an airplane from the plaintiffs with the approval of supervising DEA agents. The informant told the plaintiffs "a totally false story that the plane was to be used by a rock music group for recreational purposes, [and] never told the plaintiffs of its true intended use...." 661 F.2d at 741. When the airplane was destroyed during a drug smuggling operation, the plaintiffs brought an action against the United States for the value of the airplane. The court finds the actions of the government to be most egregious, indeed appalling."

"Drunk driving is a political crime. Unless you understand that and
I mean a political crime as we know it today. I see lots of nods out
there. Unless you understand that, unless you have that perspective; that
you are dealing with a political crime, you are not going to be able to
effectively defend a client. You are not going to be able to effectively
approach the so called 'scientific evidence' either the magic box or field
sobriety tests or horizontal gaze nystagmus or anything else. You must
develop that perspective. Many of you sense that there's something
wrong--that this particular offense is a little different from other
criminal offenses, but you still approach it as a criminal defense
attorney, rather than as a DUI attorney. It's important for you to
understand and have perspective on what you're dealing with when you go
into a DUI case. We've talked about the Constitutional projections and, by
the way, what happens in the DUI field--and this is where we are losing
our rights, this is where we're losing our rights. What happens today is
going to happen tomorrow in other types of offenses. Roadblocks today for
DUI. Roadblocks tomorrow for everything else. It's called precedent. Now
let's talk about the third area that I'm supposed to talk about today.
That is the area of scientific evidence. I use the term scientific very
advisedly. Okay, so to attack DUI scientific evidence, you have to
understand what you're dealing with. When you're dealing with these
quasi-scientific field sobriety tests and these magic boxes, you're
talking about the difference between truth and expediency or imposition of
order. The system, the legal system, is not concerned with truth. The
defense is truth. It's truth. What a mind-boggling concept to a criminal
defense lawyer! Think about it. You're criminal defense lawyers. The other
side, you know, they've got the eyewitnesses, they've got the
fingerprints, they've got the cop-out confession. What are you there for?
To blow smoke and raise reasonable doubt, right? You have been trained
that way. That's how you pursue and defend your cases. DUI isn't like
that. DUI is different. What's different is they're the ones who are
blowing smoke. They're the ones that are palming off false science.
They're the ones that are palming off this field sobriety crap. You are
the ones who are trying to point out to the jury what the truth is. That
these--this is not science. This is not true, it is false. This is
difficult for some of you to comprehend, that you are interested in
bringing truth to the jury in a DUI case. And that is a pretty darn
important perspective. I think it's a pretty neat thing. A lot of people
ask me why the heck do you defend drunk drivers and nothing else? And I've
been doing it for a long time now. Because, two real reasons, one; I
firmly believe we are the people at the dam with our fingers in that crack
in the dike when it comes to constitutional protection. This is where
we're losing it. Two; I like, I really like the feeling that I'm trying to
bring the truth to a jury. Long ago I got tired of trying to blow smoke
and raise reasonable doubt. I like truth. You've got to understand that is
what you are trying to do. You are trying to develop truth. You're trying
to get the jury educated to what really is happening. To debunk this false
science. Okay, this is the kind of machine that we've got and by the way,
understand something else that is critically important for you to impart
to the jury. Not only are these things inaccurate, not only does the
manufacturer have no confidence in them, but they don't measure alcohol.
Right. They don't measure alcohol. Please, by a show of hands, how
many people here know what I'm talking about? Ladies and gentlemen, this
machine does not measure alcohol! What it measures is any compound that
has the methyl group in it. It's a stupid machine, okay? Their expert will
call it a smart machine--state-of-the-art. Smart, meaning it's
self-diagnostic and so on. It's a stupid machine. It does not recognize
alcohol when it sees it. It does not measure
alcohol." —Lawrence Taylor, attorney at law, DUICENTER.COM,
audiotape trascript: "Attacking
Blood-Alcohol Evidence"
"While most Americans might believe judges are expected to consider all cases with equal impartiality, a prominent judicial standards organization suggests courts should treat differently any case involving driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The group is now working in concert with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote 'efficient disposal of traffic cases.' The center opened a website covering 'The Court's Role in Reducing the Incidence of Impaired Driving' as a well-documented multimedia resource. It urges lower court judges to adopt advocacy or "problem solving" roles. 'In DWI cases, courts can have a much broader role than in many other types of cases,' the site teaches. This is evident when the court explains to law enforcement procedural shortcomings following unsuccessfully prosecuted cases." Leading California DUI legal expert Lawrence Taylor, author of DUI Blog, believes the National Center for State Courts has crossed the line into improper conduct. 'I guess high conviction rates, draconian sentences and turning a blind eye to constitutional violations helps establish that tone,' Taylor wrote. 'After 39 years of practice, I can still remember when judges were supposed to be impartial, even in drunk driving cases.' Impartiality is essential when sober motorists end up falsely accused of DUI and receive no compensation for legal expenses if found innocent, as has happened in Arizona, Oregon, Washington DC, Florida, Maine and Texas. Other individuals have been convicted by judges of "driving under the influence" without any automobiles involved. In Virginia, a man was convicted for riding a lawnmower while drunk, a Georgia woman for riding a horse, a North Carolina man for riding a scooter and a New Jersey man for riding a toy mini-motorcycle. Courts in New Jersey and Minnesota insist you can be arrested for driving under the influence in a parked car. NHTSA confirmed the effort to apply DUI standards to incidents that do not involve drunk driving. It created an advertising campaign in 2005 specifically targeted drivers who were not drunk, but had consumed "a small amount of alcohol." These efforts can generate a tremendous amount of revenue for cities and police officers. A Houston, Texas police officer was paid $172,576 in 2005 primarily by earning overtime on a DUI task force. That same year, Albuquerque, New Mexico generated $1 million from DUI seizures and fines."

"The Supreme Court of Canada last week ruled to exclude scientific evidence from trials that involving driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). The case considered the accuracy of the breathalyzer readings used to convict two motorists.
Robert Albert Gibson had produced a breathalyzer reading that estimated his blood alcohol content (BAC) at .12 and then .10 in a subsequent test. Martin Foster MacDonald blew a .146. At the time the breathalyzer test was administered, each was over the .08 limit. However, because it takes time for the body to absorb the alcohol and cause impairment, the defendants argued that it was possible that they were sober at the time they had been behind the wheel. Expert scientific witnesses backed up the defendants with evidence based on the average absorption and elimination rate of alcohol. At the time Gibson and MacDonald were actually driving, their BAC could have been as low as .40 and as high as .10 -- the range straddled the .08 limit. [They were aquitted in the first trial, and the aquittal was upheld by the Candian Supreme court, but an Appeals Court overturned the Supreme Court and ordered a new trial, which they lost.] Their convictions were upheld [in the second trial] because the court ruled that the possibility that the BAC could have been lower than .08 raises no reasonable doubt. California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor said the ruling sets troubling precedent mirrors several US decisions. 'In other words, the defendant is not permitted to question the Breathlayzer results -- because it interferes with efforts to combat drunk driving,' Taylor said. 'Think about that.'"

Forced blood draw at DUI checkpoints result in assault charges and civil lawsuits filed against police officers and municipal corporations
"AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) -- Three days after Marble Falls police took their first driving while intoxicated suspect to the hospital armed with a search warrant for a blood draw, Seton Highland Lakes Medical Center in Burnet announced they will no longer adhere to the court order. "There were some issues," said Capt. Roger Sooter, with the Marble Falls Police Department. "But the draw was made, then we received the letter from the administrator." Seton Highland Lakes Medical Center Administrator, Scott Fuller, wrote a letter to city and county officials Oct. 6 that stated "effective immediately, the Highland Lakes Medical Center will not draw specimens under a search warrant. Please do not transport persons to the hospital for that purpose." Marble Falls police had just launched the new DWI blood warrant program for Burnet County. All county and district judges agreed to sign off on search warrants requiring a blood test when a suspect refuses a breath test. "We do not understand [Seton's] stance," said Burnet County Judge Donna Klaeger. Klaeger e-mailed a letter to Fuller and Seton's legal counsel, questioning the hospital's position. As of Monday, neither the county, nor the Marble Falls Police Department had received an explanation. "We asked them to provide us the legality of being able to say no to a court order," said Klaeger. Monday afternoon, Greg Hartman, the Senior Vice President of the Seton Family of Hospitals e-mailed a statement explaining their position. Hartman said "there is a conflict in state law." Hartman wrote "there are other situations where it is questionable whether a licensed hospital can draw blood from a person without an order from a qualified practitioner to draw blood or consent is obtained directly from the suspect without coercion." Some of the issues involved distinctions between privately-owned versus county and other types of hospitals. Monday, Seton said they will only draw blood under a search warrant if a person is arrested, caused an accident that resulted in injuries or death due to alcohol, and they refuse a voluntary blood test. In the meantime, Burnet County law enforcement officials can take DWI suspects who refuse a breath test to Llano Memorial Hospital in Llano."

"About 200 civil-rights advocates and other citizens came to Monday evening’s public forum to question Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo about his plan to train officers to obtain blood samples from suspected drunken drivers. But hospitals want out of the deal, Acevedo said. They say their staff does not have the time and cannot afford the legal risk of improperly declaring a suspect drunk. Acevedo said the city could not afford the seven full-time phlebotomists it would need to take blood samples if hospitals stopped cooperating. At the forum, Acevedo urged City Council and the public to let Austin police take part in a federal pilot program that would train officers to draw suspects’ blood themselves. The police chief’s arguments did not satisfy critical audience members who lined up behind a microphone to grill him. The line only grew as the debate approached its scheduled end, ultimately continuing for an extra half hour. At some points, the audience’s excitement overwhelmed the forum’s organizers. The moderator and an assistant tried for several minutes to remove one man from the microphone as he accused police of having “blood lust” and the audience chanted, “Let him talk!” “Do you think free people in this country are going to submit to a gang of thugs?” the man asked a weary-looking Acevedo. State Rep. Sylvester Turner has also submitted a bill to the Legislature that would ban police from taking the samples themselves. John Bush, a panelist and the executive director of Texans for Accountable Government, was applauded as frequently as the police chief was shouted down as he attacked the training plan as “impractical and of questionable constitutionality.” “I do not feel that any amount of training would be sufficient for an officer to take blood from a resident of Austin,” Bush said as the audience — which included several members of his group — roared with approval. “We’re talking about police officers. They’re not necessarily known for being the most genteel creatures,” said Debbie Russell, president of the ACLU’s Central Texas chapter, to audience laughter as Acevedo smiled and took a drink of water. The five-member panel also included Councilman Mike Martinez, who won cheers for opposing the training program, and Karen Housewright, the executive director for Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s Texas chapter and Acevedo’s only solid ally on the panel."

"A head emergency room nurse at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital has sued the city and a Chicago Police officer for handcuffing her and putting her in the back of a squad car during a dispute over drawing blood from a suspected drunken driver. Lisa Hofstra said she was the “charge nurse” in the emergency room on Aug. 1 when the officer approached her at about 4 a.m. The officer requested she perform a blood work-up on a DUI suspect, the lawsuit said. Hofstra told the officer the suspect needed to be admitted to the hospital before she could draw the person’s blood. Hofstra said she told a police lieutenant that it was the hospital’s protocol to wait until a suspect was admitted, and the lieutenant agreed, she said. The lieutenant left the emergency room. Then Hofstra called her supervisors, but before they could respond, the officer put her in handcuffs in front of her co-workers and escorted her to a squad car, according to the lawsuit. She was in the car for about 45 minutes before the situation was resolved, Hofstra said. The cuffs were too tight, requiring treatment in the hospital after she was released from custody, she said. A security video of the incident shows the officer smiling outside the squad car as Hofstra sat inside. Hofstra said it was a major problem for her to be removed from the emergency room at a time when there were numerous patients suffering from 'bad trauma.' She was responsible for triage — the process of deciding which patients need the most urgent attention. 'If this officer is treating me the way he treated me, what is he going to do to people on the street?' Hofstra said, adding that she filed her lawsuit to 'stand up for nurses.' In cop-talk, it’s called 'attitude adjustment' or 'field-administered punishment' for not doing what you’re told. Welcome to the MADD 'War on Drivers and Nurses'."

"An Indiana man has filed a lawsuit claiming that police forcibly withdrew urine from his body during a drunken driving arrest. According to the suit, police arrested Jamie Lockard, 53, on suspicion of drunk driving in March. A Breathalyzer test showed he was under the legal limit, but Officer Brian Miller doubted the findings. Lockard and his attorney claimed in the suit that police took him to Dearborn County Hospital and forced him to submit to a urine test. Police said they obtained a warrant, but Lockard’s attorney said his client was shackled to a gurney and had a catheter inserted against his will. 'It has to be executed reasonably," said attorney Doug Garner. "No one would say this is reasonable behavior. It’s reprehensible that anyone could think that this is appropriate.' The test showed that Lockard’s blood-alcohol level did not exceed Indiana’s legal limit, police said. Garner said the police officer did not apologize, but instead charged Lockard with obstruction of justice."

"Our government has lost focus of their primary responsibility to serve the public’s best interest; to viciously pursue an unsustainable agenda for revenue and control through DUI /Prohibition law. Our corrupted policymakers have overtime passed legislation designed to progressively circumvent our constitution. Thus selling out the power over our free nation unto the dehumanizing 'wealthy global elite' (i.e. the world’s wealthiest 5% that now control 90% of the global assets; such as the media, insurance, prison, and rehabilitation industries…as well as the non-government Department of Motor Vehicles). Some examples of the use of manipulation and fear to persuade us to give up our freedoms for 'safety' are presented below: 1. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) produces the data on alcohol-related traffic fatality statistics based on accident reports listing the presence of alcohol .01+ in the driver, passenger or bystander. Furthermore, they publicly admit that this data is often misrepresented. For example, the wealthy lobbying group MADD had claimed that 14,539 people where killed by drunk drivers in 2003 (this erroneously inflated statistic was the driving factor behind lowering the BAC limit to .08 from the previous national standard of .15), But those same statistics show that less than 13,000 of those accidents involved a driver with a BAC of .01 or more…with the majority of those accidents being the fault of a driver has whose BAC was above .15. So statistically speaking, there is a better chance of being struck by lightning while standing in the rain, than being killed on the road by a drunk driver. Or to put things into a different perspective, sober drivers are to blame in over 71% of fatal traffic accidents… Meanwhile, 1.5 million people had their lives devastated by a DUI arrest in 2003. 2. Section 163 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) created incentive grants for states enacting and enforcing a qualifying .08 BAC illegal per se law…A total of $500 million has been authorized for this grant program. 3. There are also several troublesome national trends directly related to the growing injustice of DUI and Prohibition Laws. Such as social-economic ramifications of having a country that leads the world in the percentage of population incarcerated. And in spite of the FBI’s Unified Crime Report states that violent crime, property crime, and crime against person have been declining for over a decade…incarceration was the fastest growing industry last year. So basically, our government is spending billions of our tax dollars to send millions of non-criminal working class citizens to jail or into programs that time and statistics have shown to have no real positive impact whatsoever. If anything, these unconstitutional laws are a leading contributor to the destruction of our middle class families. As well as our overburdened welfare and criminal justice system."

"A Member of Congress proposes to use taxpayer money to fund the development of technology to track motorists as part of a new form of taxation. US Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Oregon) introduced H.R. 3311 earlier this year to appropriate $154,500,000 for research and study into the transition to a per-mile vehicle tax system. The “Road User Fee Pilot Project” would be administered by the US Treasury Department. This agency in turn would issue millions in taxpayer-backed grants to well-connected commercial manufacturers of tolling equipment to help develop the required technology. Within eighteen months of the measure’s passage, the department would file an initial report outlining the best methods for adopting the new federal transportation tax. 'Oregon has successfully tested a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) fee, and it is time to expand and test the VMT program across the country,' Blumenauer said in a statement on the bill’s introduction. The money diverted from the fuel excise tax on non-road related projects must be made up for with a brand new VMT tax, the report argued. Merely indexing the gas tax to inflation or improvements in fleet gas mileage was rejected as 'imprecise.' Instead, the report urged a mandate for all drivers to install GPS tracking devices that would report driving habits to roadside Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanning devices. Blumenauer is a long-time advocate of bicycling and mass transit in Congress. Many of his largest campaign donors stand to benefit from his newly introduced legislation. Honeywell International, for example, is a major manufacturer RFID equipment. The company also happens to be the second biggest contributor in the current cycle to Blumenauer’s Political Action Committee (PAC), the Committee for a Livable Future. Another top-ten donor, Accenture, is a specialist in the video tolling field."

"I want to now describe what I heard from a speaker in 1969, at the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society. The speaker, Dr. Lawrence Dunegan, professor of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical School and National Medical Director of Planned Parenthood, did not speak in terms of retrospect, but rather predicting changes that would be brought about in the future. The speaker was not looking from the outside in, thinking that he saw conspiracy, rather, he was on the inside, admitting that, indeed, there was an organized power, force, group of men, who wielded enough influence to determine major events involving countries around the world. And he predicted, or rather expounded on, changes that were planned for the remainder of this century. Drug use would be increased. Alcohol use would be increased. Law enforcement efforts against drugs would be increased. On first hearing that, it sounded like a contradiction. Why increase drug abuse and simultaneously increase law enforcement against drug abuse? But the idea is that, in part, the increased availability of drugs would provide a sort of law of the jungle whereby the weak and the unfit would be selected out. There was a statement made at the time: 'Before the earth was overpopulated, there was a law of the jungle where only the fittest survived.' You had to be able to protect yourself against the elements and wild animals and disease. And if you were fit, you survived. But now we've become so civilized – we're over civilized – and the unfit are enabled to survive, only at the expense of those who are more fit. And the abusive drugs then, would restore, in a certain sense, the law of the jungle, and selection of the fittest for survival. News about drug abuse and law enforcement efforts would tend to keep drugs in the public consciousness. And would also tend to reduce this unwarranted American complacency that the world is a safe place, and a nice place. The same thing would happen with alcohol. Alcohol abuse would be both promoted and demoted at the same time. The vulnerable and the weak would respond to the promotions and, therefore, use and abuse more alcohol. Drunk driving would become more of a problem; and stricter rules about driving under the influence would be established so that more and more people would lose their privilege to drive. This also had connection with something we'll get to later about overall restrictions on travel. Not everybody should be free to travel the way they do now in the United States. People don't have a need to travel that way. It's a privilege! It was a kind of a high-handed way it was put. Again, much more in the way of psychological services would be made available to help those who got hooked on drugs and alcohol. The idea being, that in order to promote this – drug and alcohol abuse to screen out some of the unfit people who are otherwise pretty good – would also be subject to getting hooked. And if they were really worth their salt they would have enough sense to seek psychological counseling and to benefit from it. So this was presented as sort of a redeeming value on the part of the planners. It was as if he were saying, 'you think we're bad in promoting these evil things — but look how nice we are – we're also providing a way out!' More jails would be needed. Hospitals could serve as jails. Some new hospital construction would be designed so as to make them adaptable to jail-like use."

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist
state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with
the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of
opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our
American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. They extended aid to
help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it
there." —William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded. America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

JOKES OF THE DAY
"According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken for a breathalyzer test. 'The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons,' the complaint alleged. Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station. 'I couldn't hold it no more,' he said. Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces two charges: driving under the influence and driving without headlights, and two counts of obstruction."

Satan was being expelled from Heaven. As he passed
through the Gates, he paused a moment in thought, turned to God and said,
I hear a new creature called Man is soon to be created. This is true, God
replied. He will need laws, said the Demon slyly, prompting God to
indignantly exclaim, What! You, his appointed Enemy for all Time! You ask
for the right to make his laws? Oh, no! Satan replied, I ask only that he
be allowed to make his own. It was so granted.
—Ambrose Bierce
