At Verviers there is a curious Betie'me or Bethlehem, which consists of a series of tableaux composed of puppets and appropriate setting arranged in small glazed cases, which are place on trestles and covered with cloths. The spectators are guided past the cases by an old woman who, as each covering is drawn, explains the incident shown.
In Czechoslovakia, puppetry is not only a highly popular entertainment, but also a well-organised educational force, as may be gathered from the fact that the republic can must over 2,000 puppet theatres; it is true, however, that these are mainly amateur.
Their traditions are three centuries old. At first there were travelling puppeteers who journeyed from village to village, bringing entertainment to country folk, and acquainting them with adaptations of stage plays by native and foreign authors; this led to the puppet theatre.
Joseph Skupa (1892-1957), with his puppet clown, Kasparel, a kind of Czech Punch, attracted attention by satirical comments on the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, then dominating the country After the First World War, Skupa founded the first professional theatre in the Czechoslovak Republic; he also created two puppets, later famous throughout Europe: Spejbl, a dull-witted father, and Hurvinek, his precocious and cheeky son.
Human puppeteering is currently being practiced by all governments existing today on our planet. It is time to cut their strings.

Billions of Dollars of Equity in Smaller Cap US Equities, and the Future of Hundreds of US Public Companies Is At Risk. Apparently, US based Depositary Trust and Clearing Corp. is Facilitating the Naked Shorting. Allegations Include Ties to Financing Terrorism.
In what is being called "StockGate" by Wall Street insiders, more than 200 U.S. publicly traded companies have been listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange without the Companies' prior knowledge, consent or authorization. More than 650 additional US public companies have listings pending, virtually all without the companies requesting the listings.
The listings appear to be part of an effort by domestic and foreign brokers to circumvent the recent National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) restrictions against "naked short selling."
Short selling is a trading practice whereby investors borrow stock from a broker to sell with the hope that the stock price will decline before they have to "deliver" the shares to cover their "short position." Often, naked shorting involves groups of people working together to manipulate the market by selling non-existent shares of stock in an effort to force a company's share price to go down. By listing the US companies' shares on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange, short-sellers sought the benefit of an "arbitrage," apparently utilizing clearing facilities of US based Depositary Trust Company that none of the current regulations are designed to close.
The StockGate story has resulted in complaints to the NASD and the SEC regarding "manipulative trading" that has coincided with the "listings" on the exchange for dozens of the several hundred companies that were listed en masse by what appears now to have been one European broker.
Norma Cohen reporting in the Financial Times stated, "The Berlin listings came just weeks before a new Securities and Exchange Commission rule on so-called naked short selling. Under the new rules, those seeking to sell shares short must be able to demonstrate that they are able to gain access to the securities within two days. However, the rules contain a loophole for what are deemed to be genuine arbitrage trades, defined as short sales in shares that are listed on another stock exchange."
The Financial Times also stated that "According to a spokeswoman for the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange, a single broker, Berliner Freiverkehr, asked that 850 US companies that are traded Over The Counter (OTC) be added to the official list during a six-week period beginning in mid-February."
Listings for more than 200 U.S. public companies sponsored by the German brokerage Berliner Freiverkehr, have now apparently been put on hold. The companies are now shown at the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange's website under "filing companies" but have the designation, "NA," under the column for the "expected day of listing.
Of the companies already listed by Berliner Freiverkehr without the companies knowledge or authorization, 100 were listed on April 22. Another 43 were listed on April 2nd, and another 80 were listed on April 28th.
Many of the companies who have become listed on the Berlin-Bermen Stock Exchange are demanding the delisting of their shares. These include FemOne, Inc., Advanced ID, and GK Intelligent Systems.
At the same time many of the US companies listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange are evaluating their legal options against the US and foreign brokerage firms that they feel are responsible for the unauthorized listings, as well as against Depositary Trust Corporation who they believe is facilitating the naked short selling.
Ray Grimm, CEO of FemOne, recently stated: "We are completely dumbfounded to learn that a corporation's stock can be listed for trading on an international stock exchange without the prior knowledge or consent of the corporation itself. There are apparently hundreds of companies in the same situation as we are, and the only plausible explanation for this is that nefarious individuals are using the arbitrage loophole to engage in naked short selling, which has had significant negative repercussions on the market price of our stock."
In a recent news release FemOne also stated, "During the past several weeks the company's share price has traded significantly lower. Management believes that the downward trending of its share price in the market is related to the unauthorized listing on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange, which the Company learned became effective on April 22, 2004."
"We intend to follow the lead of other companies listed on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange, all without prior authorization, in demanding both delisting and evidence of who was ultimately behind the unauthorized listings," Grimm added.
Recently, columnist, Jack Anderson, who writes the “Washington Merry-Go-Round,” alleged that much of the naked short selling in small cap stocks drains small U.S. companies of their market caps and their small investors of their nest-eggs specifically to funnel money into terrorist hands, a sort of double-whammy against the American capitalist system. Rumors circulating around Wall Street are quoting conspiracy theorists in stating that the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange short selling is a strategy to "get even with the US" over the US' Iraqi involvement.
On April 29th officials of the Berlin Stock Exchange confirmed to FinancialWire that U.S. public companies had been listed for trading without their knowledge or authorization, but denied that the purpose was to circumvent the new NASD rules that require U.S. brokers to gain assurances of "affirmative determinations" from short sellers in both the U.S. and abroad.
Companies with listings still pending on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange include: Anacomp Inc-A, Amer Intl. Industries, Aethlon Medical, Advant-E Corp, ACR Group Inc, and Acceris Communication. Systems Evolution, Startech Enviro, Specialized Health, Solutia Inc, Skyterra Communication, Siricomm Inc., Sinofresh Health, Simtek Corp., Silverleaf Resources, Serviceware Tech, Searchhelp Inc., Schick Tech Inc., Satellite Enterprise, Safety Component,Robotic Vision, Roaming Messenge, Poseidis Inc., Polymer Group-A, Platinum Superya, Phone 1Globalwide,Pharsight Corp, Pharm Formulation, PDC Innovative, Oxford Ventures, Yi Wan Group Inc, YDI Wireless Inc, XRG Inc, Weirton Steel, Usurf America, United Energy/NV, UCI Medical Affi, Touchstone Resources, Torvec Inc, Tissera Inc, Timco Aviation, Thermoenergy, and Temecula Valley.

Apparently the naked shorting is being facilitated by the US based Depositary Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTC).
The role of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. in facilitating this naked shorting is just coming to light. Dow Jones recently confirmed a lawsuit by Nanopierce Technologies (OTCBB: NCPT) against the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. and the National Security Clearing Corp. However, Dow Jones also reported that the chief spokesperson for the DTC continues to deny that it has been sued even though the papers were served on the firm's attorneys more than two weeks ago.
Nanopierce’s suit in the 2nd Judicial District Court in Nevada alleges that the DTC’s “stock borrow program” was “purportedly created to address short term delivery failures,” but that the “end result of the program has been to create tens of millions of unissued and unregistered shares to be traded in the public market,” and in some instances resulting in “two or more shareholders who purchase shares in separate transactions to own the same shares.”
The complaint alleges that the DTC has a colossal disincentive to stop the “stock borrow” program, booking revenues from services of $425,416,000.
Further, the suit alleges that “open positions” resulting from this activity at the close of business on December 31, 2003, “approximated $3,025,467,000” due to DTC, and $2,303,717,000 due by NSCC, and unsettled positions of $721,750,000 for securities borrowed through the NSCC’s “Stock Borrow Program.”
Nanopierce claims that DTC and NSCC have joined in a “scheme” to “manipulate downward the price of the affected securities, thereby reducing the market value of the open fail to deliver positions.” The suit also claims that the defendants have permitted sellers to maintain open fail to deliver positions of tens of millions of shares for periods of a year and even longer.
The suit quotes the NASD as admitting that “Concerns have been raised by members, issuers, investors and other interested parties about potentially abusive short selling activities occurring in the marketplace. In particular, naked short selling, or selling short without borrowing securities to make delivery, can result in long term failures to deliver, including aggregate failures to deliver that exceed the total float of a security. NASD believes such extended failures to deliver can have a negative effect on the market. Among other things, by not having to deliver securities, naked short sellers can take on larger short positions than would otherwise be permissible, which can facilitate manipulative activity.”
In what is being called a gigantic conflict of interest, the two preferred shareholders of Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. are the New York Stock Exchange and the NASD, the regulatory agency that also owns NASDAQ, the OTC Bulleting Board and the American Stock Exchange.
It will be interesting to see if the SEC and the NASD take action to end this activity by the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchange, as well as the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp.'s role in facilitating this naked shorting before it destroys hundreds of smaller cap US companies, and destroys what could be billions of dollars in investor and shareholder equity.
I'm not sure I need any wider audience at this time but thanks for the suggestions...
If they want to publicly post an opposition to a proposed board that covers the daily life of one human being, they are free to do so, the jury is still out until all the votes are cast but those who tell me privately they are opposed, well, that is their choice and I slant them not.
Yep, point the king of scammers at the king of scams. LOL!
Diamond related Excerpt from 2002 Annual Report on Organized Crime in Canada by the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC)
The following has been excerpted from the OTHER MONITORED AND EMERGING ISSUES section of the 2002 Annual Report on Organized Crime in Canada prepared by Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) and released the week ending August 24, 2002.
Beginning of Excerpt...
Diamonds
In a relatively short period of time, beginning with the discovery of diamonds at Point Lake in the Northwest Territories in 1991, the diamond industry in Canada has developed to the point where this country is currently one of the five largest producers of rough diamonds in the world. Law enforcement in Canada is aware of the potential criminal exploitation of diamonds and is monitoring the developing diamond industry. To assist in this effort, the RCMP established a Diamond Protection Service, in the Northwest Territories, that works in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies and the diamond industry. Illegal diamond activity is an issue monitored by Criminal Intelligence Service Canada.
Precious stones such as diamonds have always been an attractive commodity to the criminal world due to their high value per mass weight. They have been utilized by organized crime as currency to acquire contraband such as illegal drugs and weapons, to pay for services rendered, and as a means to move and launder criminal profits. There is also concern that terrorist organizations, such as the Al Qaeda network, may also be using diamonds as a form of currency to avoid the international banking system and controls by governmental authorities in order to continue to finance their operations. (77)
In Canada, there is a potential, as observed in other countries, for organized crime to attempt the infiltration of the industry to arrange for diamonds to be illegally diverted from the legitimate commercial pipeline for their criminal exploitation and profit. As well, given Canada's reputation within the diamond industry as producers of clean diamonds, this country could attract smuggled illicit diamonds to be merged within our regular rough diamond production supply and effectively become sanitized as a bona fide Canadian product for legal sale. Similarly, this reputation could attract foreign origin cut and finished diamonds to be misrepresented as a Canadian product.
One source of illicit rough diamonds could be from regions, such as Western Africa, where some countries involved in violent civil strife, have been known to use profits from diamond sales to further the conflicts. Consequently, these diamonds have been labeled "conflict" or "blood" diamonds and have become part of common international diamond lexicon. Our geographical proximity to the United States also increases the potential of Canada as a transit point in the movement and/or sanitization of illegal diamonds, as the United States is the largest world-wide consumer of diamonds.
The international movement of illicit diamonds is assisted by a lack of effective rough diamond certification measures to easily ascertain the true origin of a rough diamond. The "conflict" diamond situation raised international interest in addressing this problem. As a result, an international effort, called the Kimberly Process, was initiated involving national governments, non-government organizations and the diamond industry to establish minimum acceptable standards for national certification schemes for the international movement of rough diamonds. In March 2002, Canada hosted a Kimberly Process meeting. It is hoped that the next plenary meeting in Switzerland (November 2002) will prepare all participants for the simultaneous launch of an accepted certification scheme by the end of the year.(78)
There is also a danger that organized crime groups may target the Canadian diamond market and introduce synthetic diamonds, known as moissanite, that are acquired cheaply in foreign markets and illegally passed off as the legitimate product for substantial profit in Canada. (79) The moissanite diamond on the legal market is retailed at a substantially lower price than a real diamond. However, it is difficult to differentiate these synthetic diamonds from a legitimate diamond which leaves ample opportunity for criminal misrepresentation and exploitation.
Canada's diamond mining industry continues to expand and explorations by various companies are either on-going or planned for locations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec. As well, Canada could develop subsidiary operations in the future, such as diamond sorting, cutting and polishing, so that rough diamonds do not have to leave Canada for conversion to a finished product. While these developments would have positive economic benefits and certainly solidify Canada's position within the international diamond community it could also create further potential opportunities for organized crime to exploit and increase the challenges to the law enforcement community.

Colombia Rises Against Free Trade Agreements
Thousands of workers marched in all the large cities of Colombia Tuesday during the national strike, called by the Comando Unitario de Trabajadores (CUT).
In Cartagena 15,000 demonstrators were violently repressed by the forces of order. On the other side of the country near the Ecuadorian border, in Pasto, thousands were attacked by the police but resisted against those in uniform. In Bucaramandga, Cali, Popayán and many other countries the workers began a 24 hour strike and left their places of work to take to the streets. More that seven million students attending public schools were left with out classes when 300,000 teachers joined the strike.
The common call was: "NO TO THE FTA - NO TO THE FTAA!

I really didn't get far in reading this article but noticed a slight contradiction, if he was wearing all that gear why did he get so bruised up? Let's see what he looks like on National television in his next speech. Maybe one of his cronies like Rumsfeld punched him out for lying to the public or perhaps it was his karma getting a hold of him for a preliminary hearing before the Courts of Public Opinion.
Ah, that makes it now 4 votes for, two votes against, still an extrapolated survey, completely unscientific of course, but none the less a better approval rating than George Bush at the present I might venture to guess. I saw a DJ the other night who wore a baseball cap facing backwards that said "Fuck Bush". That could have far reaching double meanings and implications!
Never heard of it, post the last six press releases here so we can bone it up. Like we really need another hard on in our faces. The weather in the Bahamas seems to be improving but there appears to be a massive hurricane heading toward the US.
One must always retain a detached third eye in all matters of public and private confidence grasshopper, your counter intelligence operation has failed once again.
Thank you, that is three votes for yes and two votes for no, a 60% approval rating thus far, better than a Bush rating. What is an RSS pray telleth the King?
You know I suggested that you start a 'blog' some time ago, and indeed that your boards were rather 'bloggish', especially when you reposted contributions of others as your own. IHUB isn't a good medium for blogging, gabe, and if you're serious then you should explore other environments. There are many good sites that have made blogging quite easy. Be sure to select one that supports RSS.
His? You're messing up your pronouns again, gaboroo. Having a difficult time keeping track of who you are at any given moment? Your next move? I expect that you're running--out of time; out of money; and out of the country (US).
Who's against? I vote go for it.
So far only two votes for and one against. How democratic is that?
Bush Karma Haunting?
Bush Suffers Cuts, Bruises While Biking
2 hours, 57 minutes ago
Add White House - AP to My Yahoo!
By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush (news - web sites) suffered cuts and bruises early Saturday afternoon when he fell while mountain biking on his ranch, White House spokesman Trent Duffy said.

Reuters
Slideshow: President Bush
Bush was on the 16th mile of a 17-mile ride when he fell, Duffy said. He was riding with a military aide, members of the Secret Service and his personal physician, Dr. Richard Tubb.
"He had minor abrasions and scratches on his chin, upper lip, nose, right hand and both knees," Duffy said. "Dr. Tubb, who was with him, cleaned his scratches, said he was fine. The Secret Service (news - web sites) offered to drive him back to the house. He declined and finished his ride."
Bush was wearing his bike helmet and a mouth guard when the mishap occurred. Duffy said he didn't know exactly how the accident happened.
"It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose," the spokesman said. "You know this president. He likes to go all out. Suffice it to say he wasn't whistling show tunes."
Bush left Crawford shortly after the bike mishap for Austin, where he was attending a private party of his daughter, Jenna, who graduated from the University of Texas earlier in the day.
As he departed from the presidential helicopter with his wife, scrapes were visible on the president's right temple and on his chin. Close-up shots taken by photographers revealed other scrapes above his lip and on the end of his nose. When he waved to the crowd greeting him at the airport, a small bandage could be seen on his right palm.
Earlier this month, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) took a spill from his bicycle while riding with Secret Service agents through Concord, Mass., about 18 miles north of Boston. Kerry fell when his bike hit a patch of sand. He was not injured.
Told about Bush's mishap, Kerry said, "I hope he's OK. I didn't know the president rode a bike."

Litigation Release No. 18720 / May 20, 2004...
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Gabor S. Acs and Penny King Holdings, Inc., Civil Action No. CV-N-03-0463-ECR-VPC
The Commission announced that on May 12, 2004, the United States District Court for the District of Nevada entered a Final Judgment against Gabor S. Acs and Penny King Holdings, Inc. Between January and May 2002, Acs wrote, edited and approved six false and misleading press releases concerning Quintek Technologies, Inc. ("Quintek") and Eknowledge Group, Inc. ("Eknowledge") and between at least March and August 2002 he created and maintained two Internet websites containing false statements. The releases and websites contained false and misleading statements concerning, among other things, the financial prospects of Quintek and Eknowledge, a business combination between these two companies, Penny King's assets and Acs' financial experience. Acs and Penny King also failed to disclose payments made by Quintek and Eknowledge in exchange for touting services.
At a hearing on May 6, 2004 on the SEC's Motion for Summary Judgment against Acs and a Default Judgment against Penny King, the court found that Acs and Penny King violated Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. By order of the court, Acs and Penny King were permanently enjoined and a penny stock bar was entered against Acs. In addition, Acs was ordered to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest in the amount of $43,962.81 along with a civil penalty in the amount of $600,000.

LOL! People in Vegas don't bother with pennies because there are no more penny slot machines.
You'll like this one...
There are a few old penny slots in one of the tourist-trap saloons in Virginia City. I hit a jackpot one afternoon--100 copperclad coins poured into the tray. The bartender wouldn't exchange 'em for folding money, and wouldn't even take 'em in payment for a cold one.
Maybe they should give up Gambling ? LOL

Word of mouth travels faster than word of mouse, and the answer to both is maybe - maybe not, go figure it out yourself...2 out of three people living in Vegas don't have a penny in their pocket. Does that qualify as a shortage?
Are you claiming that you've caused a penny shortage in Vegas, or are you talking about your pocket? Sorry g!, but you deserve no sympathy. You can fool people only for so long before your lies come back to haunt you.
A woman has had serious headaches for several years and has tried everything - been to several doctors and nothing has worked until one day she was having lunch with a friend who referred her to a hypnotist who, according to her friend "works wonders on anything". The woman comes home from the hypnotist and tells her husband, "Remember those headaches I have been having all of these years? Well, they are gone. No more headaches."
The husband asks, "What happened?" His wife replies, "Margie referred me to a hypnotist. He told me to stand in front of a mirror, stare at myself and repeat "I do not have a headache. I DO NOT have a headache. I DO NOT have a headache. Believe it or not, it worked! The headaches are all gone."The husband replies, "Well, that is wonderful." His wife then says, "You know, you haven't been exactly a ball of fire in the bedroom these last several years. Why don't you go see the hypnotist and see if he can do anything for that?" The husband is unsure he wants to do that, but agrees to try it.
Following his appointment with the hypnotist, the husband comes home,rips off his clothes, picks up his wife and carries her into the bedroom. He rips off her clothes, puts her on the bed and says, "Don't move. I'll be right back."
He goes into the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later and jumps on the bed and makes passionate love to his wife like never before. His wife says, "Boy, that was wonderful!" The husband says, "Don't move! I will be right back." He goes back into the bathroom, comes back a few minutes later for round two with his wife - even better than the first time.
The wife sits up and her head is spinning. "This is really great!" Her husband again says, "Don't move. I'll be right back." With that he goes back in the bathroom. This time his wife follows and sees him through the open crack in the door, standing at the mirror and saying, "She's not my wife. She's not my wife. She's NOT my wife!".
Sounds like a great idea. Until the IRS gets involved. And I'm sure it will. They've been the biggest obstacle in U.S. barter trade. :-/
It's also important to make sure you're aware of tax laws that apply to bartering, she notes. The IRS says that you must include in your income the fair market value of property or services you receive through bartering, at the time received. Typically, you must report his income on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ. Because there are some gray areas in bartering, any small business owner expecting to generate significant income this way should consult with a tax accountant. There's no sense trading services to save money if you're only going to pay penalties to Uncle Sam later.
