I joined McCullough, Malone, Vanden Bossche, Oskoui, Rische, Tenenbaum, Trozzi, Wolf, Urso et al. willingly, to wage battle for society & our children as doctors & scientists & governs failed, evil. Yes, this happened. But I want no job from these people for what they did with the vaccine is horrendous. No doubt the inference is that I would not call out Bourla again. Of course. Of course no one would put this in writing but of course this ask about a job was to limit me. Of course if I worked for Pfizer I would be muted complete from...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has refused to take up a Boston University student's constitutional challenge to a $675,000 penalty for illegally downloading 30 songs and sharing them on the Internet. The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., who was successfully sued by the Recording Industry Association of America for illegally sharing music on peer-to-peer networks. In 2009, a jury ordered Tenenbaum to pay $675,000, or $22,500 for each song he illegally downloaded and shared.

On July 31, a US district court jury ordered Boston University graduate student Joel Tenenbaum (pictured) to pay four record labels a total of $675,000 in damages for illegally downloading 30 songs and sharing them online. What music could possibly be worth this much? Click through this gallery for a look at some of the songs Tenenbaum downloaded. It's sort of like poking through a friend's iPod, albeit one that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars -- $22,500 per song -- to fill. Ironically, many of Tenenmaum's download titles carry themes that relate to his current plight. Among the pirated...

(IsraelNN.com) A final report released by the U.S. Department of Defense finds that an Army engineer accused of spying for Israel over ten years ago was unfairly targeted because of his religion. The Army engineer, David Tenenbaum, is an Orthodox Jew. The U.S. government report did not specify any corrective action to be taken on behalf of Tenenbaum. Harassed Amidst Accusations The New York-based YeshivaWorldNews website reports that Tenenbaum was given a polygraph test in 1997 regarding charges of espionage, and that he was urged to confess to having spied for Israel. Among the harassment measures he experienced in this...

I remember well the case of David Tenenbaum. An Orthodox Jewish civilian employee of the military, he lives just a 1/2 mile from me. He belongs to the same synagogue as several members of my extended family. When the Pentagon and feds trumped up charges against him and chose to raid his house on the Jewish Sabbath--and to embarrass him, purposely doing so at the moment throngs of synagogue congregants were walking home and passing by--it was a cause of disgust in our community. We knew he was not a spy for Israel, and it was made even more obvious,...

With the television writers strike over, many people here in Ventura County may have tuned into the TV show Brothers and Sisters when it resumed airing last night to complete its last 4 episodes of the season. With much of the show set here, in our very own Ojai, the intense Republican primary race of the fictional character Senator McAllister plays can easily distract us from the politics facing us in reality. It is the similarities to this campaign that a primary challenger, Michael Tenenbaum faces as he runs for congress. Equally as handsome as Rob Lowe who plays a...

Michael Tenenbaum says most people he meets while campaigning in local communities don't know who their congressman is. "It's not your fault you don't know," Tenenbaum tells them. "If he'd done something you'd know him." Tenenbaum, 37, is speaking of his June 6 primary election opponent, Elton Gallegly of Simi Valley, the 20-year congressman for the 24th District, which covers parts of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, including Thousand Oaks. Voters will choose one of the two Republicans for the November election ballot. What many people do know about Gallegly, 62, adds Tenenbaum, is that Gallegly unexpectedly announced his retirement...

Can he re-retire Gallegly? Challenger seeks to engage reluctant incumbent By Timm Herdt March 29, 2006 pictureWhen Rep. Elton Gallegly earlier this month announced his intent to retire, then discovered it was too late for him to get out or for others to get in, and then unretired, did that awkward sequence of events create a political opportunity for someone else? It's a question only voters can answer, but the conventional wisdom among political pros is that the answer is no. Absent a scandal or a hostile redistricting, 10-term congressmen just don't lose at the polls. Still, some of Gallegly's...

Gallegly under fire to explain condition By Lisa Friedman, Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - After drawing attention to his health by first trying to bow out of upcoming congressional elections and then jumping back in to the race, Rep. Elton Gallegly should explain his medical condition to voters, the chairwoman of the Ventura County Republican Party said Thursday. Gallegly, 62, R-Thousand Oaks, initially cited an unspecified medical problem when he tried to step out of the 2006 congressional race last week. But after intense pressure from GOP leaders and President Bush, he declared Wednesday that the health issues have now been...

Congressman Elton Gallegly announced today he would not run for reelection, citing "a medical issue that is yet to be resolved." In a press release, Gallegly said it has been a privilege to have served Ventura County for the past 20 years, but said "circumstances over the past two weeks have convinced me that it is now time to begin the next chapter of my life."

WASHINGTON - A longtime California Republican congressman's last-minute withdrawal of his re-election bid has brought turmoil to his party back home. Hardly anyone can run for the seat. In a set of circumstances that has stunned local Republicans, Rep. Elton Gallegly's name will remain on the ballot despite his surprise announcement Friday — the deadline to file for re-election — that unspecified health problems were forcing him to withdraw. Gallegly, a 10-term Republican, apparently thought that his withdrawal meant the filing deadline would be extended and other candidates could get into the race in the strongly GOP district north of...

NEW YORK, OCT. 26, 2005 (Zenit.org).- A Jewish leader considers the Second Vatican Council's declaration "Nostra Aetate" of 40 years ago a landmark that completely redefined relations between Catholics and Jews. Baruch Tenembaum, president and founder of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, recalled the importance, in this connection, of the election of Cardinal Angelo Roncalli to the papacy in 1958. "With the advent of the Good Pope on the throne of Peter an extraordinary revolution began within the Catholic Church, promoted from the word and action of the Second Vatican Council, a historic landmark that completely redefined the relationship between...

The South Carolina Democratic Party is in a sorry fix, and it might take decades to repair. Inez Tenenbaum’s decision not to seek re-election in 2006 as state superintendent of education shocked the party, left it gasping for air. Experts stop short of declaring the party dead, but they don’t hold out much hope for recovery any time soon. “The outlook certainly is not bright,” says College of Charleston political scientist Bill Moore. When one looks down the road, things don’t look that promising for the Democrats. They have no reserves. In fact, they have no starting lineup to speak...

There was a moment, about two weeks ago, when it looked like South Carolina Democrats might make it a race for the U.S. Senate. Inez Tenenbaum — their candidate to replace Fritz Hollings — was reaping the benefits of a smart, well-financed campaign. She was successfully spinning Rep. Jim DeMint's support for replacing the income tax with a national sales tax as a tax hike on South Carolina families. And DeMint wasn't doing himself any favors with kooky comments about banning unwed mothers and homosexuals from public-school classrooms. Thanks to these converging events, there was a moment when Tenenbaum...

LET'S DEMAGOGUE THE FAIR TAX Perhaps you noticed that in quite a few congressional races around the country Democratic candidates have been attempting to frighten voters into believing that the evil Republican candidate is going to burden them with a horrible new tax. More specifically, the wicked Republican is going to add a 23% federal retail sales tax on everything they buy .. and this is in addition to all the other taxes they're already paying! Effective politics? You bet! Can you imagine how frightened some middle or lower income American would be at the prospect of paying another 23...

Hidden by her deceptive attacks on Jim DeMint's plan to eliminate the federal income tax, is the real truth behind Inez Tenenbaum's proposal to raise state sales taxes by 40%. Yes, that's right - 40%. Mrs. Tenenbaum has proposed a 40% state tax hike on groceries, diapers, baby formula, shoes, dresses, suits, prescription drugs and so much more. In yesterday's debate on Meet The Press Congressman DeMint said, "There's only one person in this race, Tim, that's proposed a billion-dollar sales tax increase in South Carolina. It's not me," he said, referring to Tenenbaum's 2003 support for a two-cent, or...

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Inez Tenenbaum held a conference call with reporters Monday to pitch a TV ad that bemoaned the loss of South Carolina jobs overseas. Oops. Tenenbaum learned during the call that her own teleconference had been contracted out to workers in Canada.
