Wow. Interesting ton-foil material. GottaLuv, please check out this theory from my FRiend Landru.
Lan' hopefully you have met GottaLuv elsewhere. She and I are putting a theory together on the Black thread about the "prison abuses" as we speak!
I was going to finish this thread and do my own search in those states. Thanks!
According to a clerk at Baghdad's Al Fanar Hotel, on the east bank of the Tigris River, Berg checked in on March 22, left for Mosul the next day, returned to the hotel on April 6 and checked out on April 10.Berg said he was going home, the clerk said, and walked down Saddoun Street, a major artery, because the road was closed to vehicular traffic. He left behind in his room a yellowed and folded page from a book by Jon Burmeister, a South African writer of thrillers who died in 2001.
The page carries a short prose poem titled "The War That Wasn't." It describes a man named Jericho, who is awakened by machine-gun fire, "his heart hammering thunderously against the ribcage as though trying to escape."
The poem ends: "What the hell was happening? God knows, he thought. But it seemed clear that the war had arrived -- the war that wasn't coming here . . ."
It means if he's putting up or taking down radio towers as anything but an employee on someone elses payroll he wasn't licensed to do it...hence not a legitimate business.
I guess contractors don't have to be licensed in PA.
Just a theory, but allow me to put some of what I've said in CONTEXT using this thread, in case you missed it?
The smell's getting pretty bad, my friend.
"Lan' hopefully you have met GottaLuv elsewhere. She and I are putting a theory together on the Black thread about the "prison abuses" as we speak!"
*Excellent*, you go.
Be sure to ping me to your musings when they're ready, OK?
I'll meet this other poster, the dog lover, down the line.
...it's inevitable. ;^)
Haven't read thru this article yet, but Fox is reporting that Nick Berg's computer was used by one of the 911 hijackers.
Sorry if this is old news.
Sorry,but you're wrong.My business is a DBA.I'm licensed/certified by the state of Alabama.However,my business name will not show up on any state list.It's not illegal.I use my SS# as my tax i.d.,have a banking DBA account,insurance,etc.,,
LOL Found out this is REALLY old news. Didn't watch tv last evening so am out of the loop!
The shorts and sandals together plus east coaster, added up for me.
Yup, there're many other inconsistancies surrounding this Berg character, and the one you've pointed out's a whopper, too.
But if you haven't done so by now, follow the hyperlink [above] & you'll discover many other strange, unexplainable tidbits about this Nic Burg *&* his "Dad."
"Sorry if this is old news."
No-no, thank you Bonfire.
...for not assuming I/we'd already knew [it]! :^)
"Some FReeper on another thread mentioned that he knew someone who did his payroll. Does anyone remember who that was?"
IIRC, it was ambrose.
bump for later reading.
I'm going to see if I can round up what his state laws are concerning this.I do believe however,that he was just a young entrepreneur who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The bit about the yellowed, folded page just about made my hair stand up on end, for some reason. Trying to find the entire "prose poem" now...
Wow! shez, what do you think?
Pinging a few from the long thread over to this information. See the link in posts 1 and 2 for an interesting connection that calcowgirl has found.
from the link:
"Prometheus has played a significant role in the struggle by community groups to establish low-power radio stations — a struggle that has involved the FCC, the National Association of Broadcasters, and National Public Radio. It has also been influential in the fight against media consolidation. A recent ruling in its suit, Prometheus Radio Project v. Federal Communications Commission, has prevented the FCC from enacting new rules that would ease long-standing media ownership limits. Prometheus operates with a staff of three out of a church basement in Philadelphia."
Ping!
Berks cross generations. I wear them, my kids do and my grandson does. Doctors wear them for surgery when they don't wear danskos. But the words to an arlo guthrie song, just odd because arlo guthrie is not that popular now, or not that I know .
