SEC Charges Five Former City Officials with Fraud for Roles in False Municipal Bond Filings
Response to post #42: Yes Don, the bottom line is that pension liabilities plus outrageous legal fees for good old boy lawyer club friends of corrupt judges who milk the judicial process ad nauseum to prevent solution to San Diego problems plus fraudulent bond offerings that result in skyrocketing borrowing costs by corrupt Mayors and their bands of thieves have created a scenario where there is no end in sight until BK occurs while U-T/Davies bloodsucker bosses continue to oversee the destruction of quality of life in San Diego.— April 12, 2008 1:26 a.m.

Response to post #40: Actually San Diego has definitely gone over the cliff with the legal fees reported on the Front Page of the U-T for our bloodsucking councilmen. They have truly pushed San Diego over the cliff and BK seems to be the only option left as the corrupt judges keep stringing things out for their good old boy U-T/Davies establishment bloodsucker vampire lawyers.— April 11, 2008 10:29 a.m.

Response to post #38: Thanks for admitting you "don't know" Don. What you have been saying in your reality checks have taken my concerns to a much higher level since we can't trust anything that Wall Street, Main Street, Capitol Hill, White House, Federal/State/Local Bureaucracies, 202 C St. etc. say anymore. But I can judge for myself that the old guard bloodsuckers are destroying the American Way of Life. Got to run to my Mandarin class now, so I'll get back to you later.— April 11, 2008 2:16 a.m.

Response to post #9: At least we have Don Bauder recording our "declining civilization" -- that's the only "good" news I can think of. Better put your records in a time capsule for the time when 30th century or so archeologists and geologists dig down to the carbon layer of the 21st century they can find out what happened and try one more time not to make the same damned mistakes again. I'm convinced we are too stupid and/or greedy to survive since Ike warned us and we refused to pay attention with the "best" educated people in human history. So future scientists had better be a hell of a lot more evolved or they will most certainly be just as doomed as we are.— April 10, 2008 12:53 p.m.

Response to post #36: Not only that, but this morning on the U-T Front Page "Close program allowing pay and pension, Sanders is also quoted making the incredible, but not unexpected statement: “It's important to take those benefits away when they don't make sense anymore,” Sanders said. “I don't know how much they cost over the years, but the feeling is that they've cost us a lot of money.” This statement is the most obvious proof of Sanders' own gross criminal negligence for not having "cost" figures, that is unless he is covering them up. And I thought Admiral Froman said she had cleared up all these kinds of problems before she left to work with truly intelligent people, or did she realize Sanders/U-T/Davies criminal activities and just plain got the hell out of the City Hall cesspool. Wall Street, Main Street, Capitol Hill, White House, 202 C St, Courthouses throughout America, it appears that bloodsuckers control everything at all these addresses. American citizens and our American Democracy are in truly grave peril. QUESTION: Are we still in the decline phase, or have we gone over the edge into the fall phase to hell now?— April 10, 2008 12:38 p.m.

“similarities between America today and the Roman Empire in its final years” is right. The reality is that We The People are becoming one more failure in democracy because our political and intellectual leadership have failed to meet the challenges of change. Thus the M-I-G complex that was Ike’s gravest concern now controls our democracy, and the 20th century is referred to as the Savage Century due to its record of war, threats of war and genocide, continuing into the 21st century. Indeed, “There has been a corporate takeover of the full faith and credit of the U.S. --- The numbers are larger; the nation is in worse shape because of the war in Iraq; we don’t have the manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure [dominance] we had then” is producing a failed national bottom line.— April 10, 2008 3:36 a.m.
Union-Tribune's Internet Radio Will Be Off the Air Soon, Say Industry Pros and Newspaper Staffers
Finally, someone got the message that San Diego doesn't need another B.S. Radio station, especially another Kittle Show to showcase his deranged rantitorials.— April 10, 2008 3:02 a.m.

Response to post #32: Along those lines I found it interesting that the U-T's latest puppetician Sanders was sidebared yesterday about his latest "Rebuilding San Diego battered credit rating" effort by noting "The impact the charges may have on that effort will depend on how well Mayor Jerry Sanders can convince Wall Street that the old guard is gone from City Hall.”!!! Give us a break, Sanders is the latest U-T “old guard” poster puppet and if there is one thing that Wall Street is expert at recognizing it is corruption. San Diego boulevards have once again become potholed wagon trails as a symbols of U-T/Davies era corruption that we have to bounce over everyday now.— April 10, 2008 2:55 a.m.

Response to post #29: The U-T editors are most certainly in the Bloodsucker-in-Chief class along with Davies since their editorials promote the political bloodsuckers that have caused San Diego's financial problems, i.e., U-T editors get bloodsuckers elected and then Don Bauder exposes the bloodsuckers.— April 9, 2008 7:12 a.m.

Response to post #18: You know Don, the most interesting thing here is that the common denominator root cause of all of San Diego's financial problems is that the biggest Bloodsuckers who caused all of the problems were ALL PRODUCED BY U-T "Ballot Recommendations". Then there is also "Brash Cash" Davies who controls the judges who cover-up everything by preventing Aguirre from bringing their fellow bloodsucker to justice. And then there are the Feds who play their Night of the Living Dead zombie stagger to try and cover-up even more with civil instead of criminal charges. Meanwhile San Diego sinks ever deeper into the Bloodsucker cesspool.— April 8, 2008 12:43 p.m.
