Sino-US Relations (Updated)

Obama has slapped a 35% tariff on Chinese tires. They are retaliating with other small measures. Obama better be careful. If he angers the Chinese too much they may decide to stop buying US debt: the Chinese are one of the major financiers of the US government’s 1.8 trillion dollar deficit this year. The one who depends on another’s money is not ultimately in control of the relationship.

Pento says that we need China’s contribution to our debt, and if they don’t buy it, we will be in trouble. This is exactly my point here, where I say that if we don’t borrow the money for the US budget deficit, we will be looking at hyper-inflation.

I have personally taken positions against the dollar by borrowing US currency to invest in a Canadian Oil Company (ERF) and a Caribbean utility company in Grand Caymen (CUP.U, Toronto).

Obama’s birth and Ockham’s razor

Before the election in November 2008, a pro-Obama website published a Certificate of Live Birth.  Here is that an alleged copy of that document that the Daily Kos had published:

BO_Birth_Certificate kosThis document does not include many important data which are available on a long-form birth certificate, such as the name of the hospital, the physician who attended the birth, the hospital administrator, and the weight of the baby.  The alleged Mombasa birth certificate offers such information for verification or disapproval.  And so I invite anyone with accurate information to help us to discern its authenticity.

There is also the possibility that three of Obama’s relatives in claimed to be eyewitnesses of his birth in Mombasa.  This creates a problem for Obama, and it is imperative for him to release his birth records under seal by the State of Hawaii in order to set this problem to rest. That would be the transparent thing to do.  But I have observed and have read that some Africans sometimes have a problem with transparency.  Obama has refused to release his long-form birth records, choosing instead to pay thousands of dollars in legal fees to keep them sealed.

This leads to the question of why he has refused to release these records.  I would suggest that the simplest solution is the best, i.e., Ockham’s razor.  There is something in the birth record that could lead to the conclusion that the Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible for the office of President of the United States of America.  These documents could reveal that he was not really born in Hawaii or that he was adopted by his step-father Soetoro, in which case he would have Indonesian citizenship.  Clearly, if there was no problem with the birth records he would release them.

It is curious that when I first received an American passport, I had to provide my long-form birth certificate.  When I applied for my Canadian Permanent Resident card, I also had to provided proof that I am resident of Canada.  Why is it that a man can run for POTUS and not provide an authentic long-form birth certificate?

Obama's Birth Certificate?

A man named Lucas Smith claims to have traveled to Mombasa and obtained a copy of Barack Hussein Obama real birth certificate from Coast Province General Hospital.  This alleged birth certificate has a footprint on it that could verify its authenticity.  According to World Net Daily, Smith has signed a affidavit which will be used in a court case against Obama, which will go to trial on begin in January.  Here is a copy of that affidavit:

Smith also made a video of the copy of the alleged birth certificate, which he published on Youtube:

The video does appear to be really taken in Africa.  I’ve been there and that is hard to fake.  But I have no way of knowing if this story is even remotely true, except that the man, Lucas Smith risks perjury if his story is false.  One simple way for Obama to prove he was not born in Kenya is for him to release immediately the long form of the his Hawaiian birth certificate.  Also, he can publish a print of his foot to show that it does not match the one on this alleged birth certificate.

Perhaps our friends in Kenya can offer us some information leading to the verification of whether this document is a fake or possibly authentic.

Michael Jackson and Iatrogenesis (Updated)–Updated (August 24)

Propofol

Propofol

Music icon Michael Jackson died after he was given an injection of Propofol.  Thus, the singer joins Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith in a list of celebrities recently killed by the medical profession (called “Iatrogenesis“).

Update:  It was thought at first that Demerol was the killer, but Edward Chernhoff, the lawyer for the Jackson’s cardiac physician, Conrad Murray, says that Jackson had not prescribed or given Jackson the drugs Demerol or Oxycontin (source AP):

Chernoff says Murray suggested to Jackson’s family that an autopsy be performed. He adds that the doctor did not prescribe or give Jackson the drugs Demerol or Oxycontin. The lawyer says any drugs Murray prescribed were given in response to a specific complaint from the 50-year-old entertainer.

This is not a denial that Demerol had been taken or that it was the cause of cardiac arrest.  This says specifically that Dr. Murray himself did not prescribe or administer the drug.  This is a very carefully worded statement.  Dr. Murray, however, admits prescribing more than one than drug in response to Jackson’s complaint.

Iatrogenic death from prescription drugs is not necessarily the fault of only one physician’s prescriptions but can be a negligant cocktail provided by more than single doctor.  That’s why it is standard procedure when a patient visits a physician for him or her to declare what other prescriptions are being taken.

[MSNBC confirms that Dr. Murray administered several medications of valium, larazepam, midazolam, “several other drugs”, and finally 25 mg of propofol over a 9 hour period.]

African scams

I received the following e-mail this morning from an African friend (name withheld); I believe his yahoo.fr address has been hacked:

Hello,

How are you,I am in hurry writing this mail to you, I traveled to Nigeria yesterday to visit the new researcher’s complex in lagos, Unfortunately for me all my money,diaries and my return ticket was stolen at the hotel where i lodged, I am so confused right now,I don’t know what to do or where to go,I didn’t bring my phone here and the hotel telephone line’s was burnt during the robbery incident,so i have access to only emails, Please can you send me $1,650 usd today so i can return home, As soon as i get home i would refund it immediately.I want you to send it through western union outlet.Write me so i can let you know how to send it.

Regards,

Now there are at least seven problems with this message: (1) Nothing in the e-mail indicates his relationship to me, e.g., when or where he met me; (2) This correspondant has always written to me in French; (3) It doesn’t cost $1650 US to return from Lagos to his home country (perhaps $200 by bus); (4) If he could pay me back when he got home, why not have someone from home wire him the money instead? (5) No African I know would leave his cash in his hotel room for the staff to steal. (6) He used his full name to sign off instead of only his first name which has been his custom in the past; also he has always addressed me in his e-mails with my first name, never just “hello”; (7) The story about the telephone lines at the hotel being burnt is highly implausible.

Here are my recommendations:

(1) I suggest that correspondents stop using yahoo for e-mail. Ever since Governor Sarah Palin had her e-mail hacked I’ve stopped using yahoo, and this is third African friend who has had his yahoo account infiltrated. Gmail is a good substitute.

(2) When at a cyber cafe never leave your terminal without logging off of your e-mail account. Take security measures like erasing browsing history when leaving the terminal.

(3) Use a sophisticated alphanumeric password.
