 | American Credit Collections -- How to NOT collect a debt I got a nastygram from American Credit Collections, LLC. out of Scranton, Pennsylvania in the beginning on June, 2007. I immediately called their telephone number and received a series of harassing telephone calls. This company does not appear to be a licensed debt collector in my state, a class I felony. Additionally, their collection letter threatened post-judgment remedies, "aggressive legal action" and stated they were verifying my employment and attempting to locate assets that could satisfy the debt. Please note, this debt, if at all legitimate, is way beyond the statute of limitations. Of course, ACC has somehow managed to re-age or otherwise misrepresent the date of chargeoff. According to my records, the account was opened March 24, 1998, last payment May 10, 1999 and charged off on December 20, 1999 for $658. What follows is fantastic example of the illegal tactics that "fly by night" debt collection companies use. Be warned. Update: If you've paid these people by credit card or check, I'd love to find out the name on the account they routed the money through. Please shoot me a PM! |

 | Here's how we dumped AT&T... and why! Accompanying Article: I am not sure people really understand just what took place in Congress this summer with regard to the NSA illegal wiretapping program. Simply put, AT&T, Verizon, and the other telecom companies that, according to articles in the USA Today and the Washington Post, participated in an ongoing illegal spy network, will now receive retroactive immunity back to 2001 for breaking the law at the Bush Administration's request. HR 6304 is a treasonous and outright assault on our Fourth Amendment right to privacy; yet our Congress voted for this legislation with almost 70 percent of the members having never been briefed on the President's illegal data-mining program to begin with.

 | U.S. Government spies on American soldiers, private citizens Absolutely disgusting. According to a new report from ABC, thanks to the Patriot Act, the government has been listening into phone calls from troops in the middle east, and passing clips of them around the office. Not just that, but the clips are of private moments between troops and their wives and girlfriends. From ABC: Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer. "Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy'," Faulk told ABC News. Faulk said he joined in to listen, and talk about it during breaks in Back Hall's "smoke pit," but ended up feeling badly about his actions. Oh, he felt badly? How about I start listening into the phone calls of NSA staff, and posting the best stuff on blogs, so we can all have a laugh. Asked for comment about the ABC News report and accounts of intimate and private phone calls of military officers being passed around, a US intelligence official said "all employees of the US government" should expect that their telephone conversations could be monitored as part of an effort to safeguard security and "information assurance." "They certainly didn't consent to having interceptions of their telephone sex conversations being passed around like some type of fraternity game," said Jonathon Turley, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University who has testified before Congress on the country's warrantless surveillance program. Turley is right, and frankly, the response to ABC from the intelligence official is a disgrace. Let me tell you something about being in a warzone. It's grueling, it's mentally taxing, it's hot, you see men blown up and losing limbs. For many, the one bit of calm they have is a brief moment when they thought of their wives or girlfriends back home, who they haven't seen for months. But it was also agonizing. They could see them in their heads, but they couldn't touch them or smell them. The best troops have is a brief telephone call sometimes. And, yes, it was as close to intimate as they can get. A tiny bit of good amidst the hell of war. For the government to think that it was acceptable to listen in and pass around troops' most intimate moments, like some high-tech peeping toms, some satellite-powered voyeurs, is one of the greatest insults I can think of to those men and women in uniform sacrificing everything they have for their nation. It's good that Senator Jay Rockefeller has started an investigation into this. I sincerely hope that he does not stop until everyone who let this happen is accounted for, and their heads roll. And I hope Republicans, who used to be all about limited government, and who swore to uphold our Constitution and Constitutional rights wake up and realize what's happening. Our troops deserve a lot better from the government they're fighting for. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jon-soltz/government-intrudes-on-tr_b_133342.html |
 | Espen Lind - American Love Lyrics: I`m lying wide awake in bed My eyes are closed just like I`m dead My friends all think that I`m a bore But I don`t need them anymore I don`t get up I don`t get out I have no life to speak about It feels so good to leave the blame with you so that`s what I do I`m going down come around Watch me when I hit the ground Give me just one fix of your Your sweet American Love I`d go blind Lose my mind Leave the world I know behind Just to feel it one last time My sweet American Love My telephone is off the hook My eyes are closed I`m scared to look I bet you`re happy now you`re free But what about poor little me I draw your picture on the wall My phone is dead and still you call My mama asked I told her I get by That`s such a lie I`m going down come around Watch me when I hit the ground Give me just one fix of your Your sweet American Love I`d go blind Lose my mind Leave the world I know behind Just to feel it one last time My sweet American Love I`ve kept the things you gave to me The air is clear but I can`t see And a cheerful boasts that «love is in the air» But it`s so full of shit A sony, is it? So what d`ya you have to leave me for Was it my hair was I such a bore Well you know baby You were always my only choice (goin' down, come around, watch me when I hit the ground) Gimme just one fix of your, your american love, american love (I go blind, lose my mind, leave the world I know behind) Just to feel it one last time Oh Damn You |
