larice: ah ... correction please. That law of the land (America) is The Commercial Code (UCC); virtually identical in each state/commonwealth. Jefferson was a deist and Nature's god is NOT El Shaddai. Virtually all of the founders belonged to secret societies. BTW, did you know that The Statue of Liberty is The Goddess of Reason?
In the parable of the sower, his job is to fling the very best seed. The sower didn't spend his time chasing the fowl, breaking up fallow ground, and/or pulling up tares and thistle and briars.
The details are often twisted by adherents to Churchianity. Maybe we should all give up and just obey the king, eh? I'm not saying that is your position. I would offer severe caution about much that is posted on this particular board. Please do study it in detail. Demand documentation, if you feel it is lacking. Indeed prove all things. Yes, it is good to be reminded to keep it simple. Yet, this board is a strong meat board, vis a vis a pablum or milk board.

The number campaign issue is repeal of the Federal Reserve. The rest is an aside or out of priority.

Let's review: Ted Turner and others are on record for reducing the American population to 60-80 million. If not by murder via vaccines, then maybe sterilization, hmmmm?
A true account: a client, an orthodox Jew, had just admonished me that didn't I know better than to discuss religion or politics. I retorted that they made for the best discussions. He wasn't buying. I then said, "So how's married life treating you?" He replied, "I just got divorced."
We eventually talked about flowers.

Vexari: yes; a good reminder. This is a complex subject that we want to keep simple for the panorama of readers.
I call myself a constitutionalist. Yet, let us never confuse the original Constitution, void of The Bill of Rights, to be a sacred document. It set up a deliberate tyrannical government. Here's the main proof:
From The Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
... He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
... For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever."
--- Now from The Constitution; Section 8: "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District
(not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and
the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United
States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent
of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of
Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into
Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this
Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or
Officer thereof."
Know what is going on. The District of Columbia will never become a state, under this present mode.
bartermania: we have many fine bricks here to build such a solid building. I was looking to fill in some cracks. We're not yet ready for the ornamental gloss. ~ smirk ~ How about a nice shrubbery?

bartermania: Here! Here! Demand that all candidates for any political office be on record for the repeal of The Federal Reserve Act. This is THE NUMBER ONE CAMPAIGN ISSUE!
Keep the courage all. In the movie Beau Geste, Sgt. Markoff propped up the dead soldiers in the fort and placed their rifles out, in the turrets, to give the appearance of a greater strength than what was in reality. Thus Beau Geste is not just Michael Geste's nickname, but truly translated "beautiful gesture."
I can personally attest to this tag line used and the strategy performed during the Con-Con fight (The Constitutional Convention con job). It was mere handfuls of people that stopped forces backed by millions of dollars and connections. In the last hours, of the most dire battle facing this nation, three virtually anonymous folks put their faith in God Almighty and the victory was there.
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." – Calvin Coolidge
"I returned and saw under the sun that: The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all." - Eccl 9:11
The granddaddy of all cases to promote individual freedoms and and due process. Follow this case backwards and forward. The hours spent will be your very best legal legal education. Who says that the little gal/guy can't take on the giants?
http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=405&invol=538
Doing a search on "fraud vitiates" and chasing the numerous rabbit trails will be quite an education. One such case is U.S. v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. 61. I'll have to dig separately on The Frontier Airlines case, as it is apparently blocked out (hmmmm).
"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of an expanding bureaucracy." – Werner Heisenberg
This is spoken on Civilization IV, upon completion of bureaucracy in the tech tree.
bartermania: your beliefs are not mere theories, as they are backed up by events and circumstantial facts. We have seen, historically, that certain of the wealthiest elite industrialists have looked to establish monopolies through various forms of socialism. The neo-American socialism under the present administration is the most advanced form of fascism the world has ever seen. The military/industrial complex, as enumerated by DDE, is deeply in bed with "big labor" and extreme and moderately leftist politicians (regardless of party affiliation [read Ripon Society, etal]).
It appears as if the strategy is to bypass the scandal ridden UN and establish their NWO via American world domination. The Department of Homeland Security is reminiscent of a similar plan.
Vexari: the group and the culture, that one grows up in, usually molds the thinking of that individual for life. There is the lesson of the man that observes his wife cutting off the ends of a ham before placing it into the oven. He asks her why she does that, as he thinks that some waste is involved. His wife responds, "That's the way my mother taught me." "Fascinating!" he thinks. So he calls up his mother-in-law. She answers his question of why with, "That's the way my mother taught me." Therefore, he calls up her aged mother. "Grandma Jones, why do you clip off the ends of a ham, before you put it in the oven?" She says, "I have to, in order to fit it into my little pan."
In a prosperous society, like America, one might be in great wonderment as to why anyone should be in poverty. Yet, one has to accept poverty, in one's mind, to stay in poverty for more than a few weeks. The mind then provides reasons, whether valid or not, as to why this individual is in poverty. One is certainly not going to learn about real wealth and what is money in public schools. Let's never forget that public education is one of the planks of Marx.
We witness the wealthy sending their children to private schools. Home-schooled children have dominated the national spelling and geography bees for years now. Public schools are designed to produce a slave class to work and not be able to reason. To have one gain the knowledge of what money is and to be unafraid to act upon that knowledge automatically frees that individual in one or more important areas of his/her life.
Individuals that go through public schools are much more susceptible to the forces of groupthink than their counterparts. The first force is seemingly innocuous. Children accept the first contacts as their friends. Most will continue to follow these friends throughout public school. They'll choose the same classes and even the same colleges and even the same majors. They'll decide whether to go into the military or not, together. (Military recruiters understand this quite well.) So the twin forces of peers and family are now in place for these individuals.
One reading this, so far, might correctly conclude that this provides the underlying reasons as to why most folks just can't and hate to make decisions, for themselves. "Do I have your approval to do this?" is really what they might be thinking. One might say to themselves that in America, there are the liberating forces of religious congregations. Yet much of the same psychology prevails there, also. It is a rare person that can explain his/her beliefs and offer proofs based on what he/she has researched out and believes to be factual. That's why it is not unusual to her "Bible dogmas," that cannot be found in the Bible.
Freedom still come down to the individual, as does prosperity. Successful individuals search out other successful individuals and calculatedly share and feed off the others. This is the basis for a mastermind alliance.
As you are aware, Rockefeller, etal used an evil version of this sort of alliance to create The Creature from Jekyll Island. It was only possible, because U.S. Senators and Representatives shirked their duty and honor. Today, it is easier to watch Deal or No Deal than to read a book.
Vexari: ahhhh ... what a segue! ~smirk ~
http://www.books-about-california.com/Pages/Inhumanity_of_Socialism/Inhumanity_Case_Against.html
Vexari: all of SigFraud's "works" on group psychology was taken from Le Bon. Hitler understood what was in The Crowd and used it. One of the principles is that it is easier to persuade a group of people than an individual; the several members of the crowd suborn his/her unconscious mind to that of the crowd.
Think tanks have underwritten projects at places such as MIT. One such work was called, "Mass Persuasion; Brainwashing." I believe the name Crain or Crane was associated with it.
Rager: a groupie by any other name is still a groupie.
CTT may not be in keeping with the style of trading by many of this board's regulars, however it took a sizeable bounce off of bottom yesterday. And yes, I hold a large position.
One of the books that I have long recommended, as must read, is The Crowd by Gustave Le Bon.
CTT should be on all good momo players' watch lists and/or streamers today. It took a sizeable bounce off of bottom yesterday.
CTT took a sizeable bounce from its bottom yesterday. Should be a good play for at least today.
Gulfbreeze: it's all a rip off from the movie Traxx. Sorry, I couldn't resist. BTW, I have limited knowledge of this stuff. I had my own security concerns, years ago and did the necessary research; that's the only reason I know anything about this. Anyone can change their security settings, if he/she doesn't want cookies.
Vexari: cookies are really just a piece of data that can't do anything by itself. On a site, like IHub, they are probably preferable to the alternatives. They certainly come into play for those subscribers that choose to stay logged in all the time, in a positive and useful fashion.
bartermania: Ayn Rand certainly did a magnificent portrait of bleak worlds. No doubt, Orwell did by default. On a board, like this, espousing so much clear and free thought, I took the opportunity to utilize Orwell and the specter of planned opposition. For example, I have long viewed Rush Limbaugh as an enemy of The U.S. Constitution. My opinion is not merely because of his ridicule of protesters of The WTO and his open and vocal support of NAFTA and GATT, but more so his Hegelian techniques for supporting think tanks/special interest groups such as The CFR. While he doesn't appear to be an actual member, his contributions toward The NWO are in lock step.
raid: there are far more easier and "cost effective" ways to spam than to actually buy or rent an email list. Somehow, I have the feeling that this will not be news to you.
BTW, Happy Summer and welcome to The 21st Century. Soak it up while you can, because in 72 hours, the days will get shorter.
bartermania: George Orwell (Eric Blair) was a Fabian socialist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell#Political_views The book 1984 was a work of a braggadocio. It reveals some of the workings of The Hegelian Dialectic. In simpler terms, we witness planned opposition.
vip1999 etal: yeppers, these kind of deals give the operator the opportunity to "hedge." I'm just waiting for my back up singers to belt out, "It's toxic funding, Babeeeeeeee."
Sorry that I do not know what this board is for. I want to bring attention to the annoying drop down ads of Amex, when I try to log in. It actually prevents me from logging in. This is truly an ineffective ad as it ____________________s (your choice of fill in) folks off. I'm sure the revenues are good and important. Maybe Amex can be apprised that their ad isn't winning friends.
We are seeing the results of selling 5 million worth of stock for financing. In technical terms, it is known as urinating in the stew.
onefreedude: what this today; a "Free-for-all?" It sort of looks like a Stranglehold.
It could have been worse; at least they had the decency to release before the open of the market, rather than the 4:10 tactic.
Competitive Technologies, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2006 Results
FRIDAY, JUNE 09, 2006 7:30 AM - BusinessWire
FAIRFIELD, Conn., Jun 09, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Competitive Technologies, Inc. (CTT) today announced a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.14 per share, for its fiscal third quarter ended April 30, 2006. This compares to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended April 30, 2006, we incurred a net loss of approximately $2.0 million, or $0.27 per share, compared to net income during the same period of the prior year of approximately $5.3 million, or $0.73 per diluted share.
Retained royalties for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, were approximately $1.0 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 50%, compared to approximately $2.1 million of retained royalties for the same period in the prior year. Retained royalties for the prior year included an aggregate of approximately $0.8 million from the settlement of back royalties relating to an expired license, and upfront license fees relating to new homocysteine testing licenses granted in the prior year. Excluding these items, retained royalties for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, would have decreased $0.2 million, or approximately 19% over the same period of the prior year, due to timing of receipts on one license, and a decrease in the number of homocysteine assays sold by one large licensee. Total revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, were approximately $1.2 million, compared to approximately $2.5 million in the same period of the prior year, due to the decrease in retained royalties, and the absence in the current year of legal awards and dividends, as happened in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates and higher average cash balances in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
Expenses overall were flat for the quarter ended April 30, 2006, compared to the prior year quarter. Personnel and other direct expenses related to revenues increased approximately $0.2 million. General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $0.4 million compared to the prior year, principally due to a decrease in legal costs incurred in the prior year to defend the company against a whistleblower claim that was later dismissed, and a reduction in costs related to the documentation, testing and audit of internal controls required pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Patent enforcement expenses, net of reimbursements, increased approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior year, principally due to net costs incurred in defense of our homocysteine patent at the U.S. Supreme Court.
"We are focused on our goal of significantly growing our recurring revenues. To accomplish our goal, we first need to increase our portfolio of available technologies, and must continually bring in new technology to keep our pipeline full," said Michael D. Davidson, CTT's Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "Prior to the formation of the current management team, not enough new technologies were acquired, and we are paying for this now. But we are aggressively pursuing new technology and have added staff to accelerate this process. We expect our efforts to pay off within the next eighteen to thirty-six months."
Dr. D. J. Freed, CTT's President and Chief Executive Officer added, "Due to our long revenue cycle, which we estimate to be two to three years from technology sign-up to recurring revenue, it is important that we stay active on both the acquisition and licensing sides of our business. This was a significant past weakness in our operations that we identified and we have made, and are continuing to make, the investments that we believe are needed to secure our Company's future. These investments have cost us in the short term, but we believe that they will be well worth it over time. Our strong balance sheet means that we won't sacrifice our long-term goals for short term results. We are optimistic that the people we have, and our strategic plans will be successful."
Retained royalties for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, were approximately $3.4 million, compared to approximately $9.5 million in the prior year. The principal reason for the decrease in retained royalties was upfront license fees received on homocysteine licenses granted in the prior year that did not recur in the same magnitude in the current year, and the settlement in the prior year of the back royalties described above. Total revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, were approximately $3.8 million, compared to approximately $11.7 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. In addition to the decrease in retained royalties, during the prior year period an aggregate of approximately $1.8 million of revenue was received from legal awards and two dividends from one of our investments, neither of which recurred in the current year.
Total expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2006, decreased $0.5 million, to approximately $5.9 million from approximately $6.4 million incurred during the same period of the prior year. Personnel and other direct costs decreased approximately $0.9 million, principally due to less commission and bonus accrued in the current year compared to the prior year, partially offset by increased costs related to the addition of new business development staff. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior year, principally due to an increase in legal costs related to claims filed against us by our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and costs related to our claim filed against him for damages for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, statutory theft and other claims. Patent enforcement expenses, net of reimbursements, increased approximately $0.1 million.
CTT will hold a conference call at 11:00 a.m. EDT on June 9, 2006 to discuss results and provide a strategic overview. Investors and others are invited to listen to the broadcast live and ask questions by dialing in at (800) 406-5356 (U.S./Canada) or (913) 981-5572 (International).
