"DTOM...good research, keep it up!"

"Drummond Pike is the man that repaid ACORN for the Rathke embezzlement. He admitted as much in news reports. So not only is ACORN a member of HCAN via the Tides Foundation/Tides Center, Wade Rathke just happens to sit on various boards such as Tides, ACORN and SEIU. The new “Reform Immigration for America” umbrella group was funded through the Tides Foundation. That is the same outfit that is entangled with ACORN. ACORN’s founder, Wade Rathke, is also on the board of Tides, and now heads the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) that is busy signing up dues-paying immigrants and organizing them—for work in such fields as health care."

This is the "research" that seven and eight year-old boys whisper about after dusk on summer evenings. Along with stories of Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman.

DTOM is the kid who denies the google link saying, "They are a den of vipers and thieves – You Are Traitors And Deserve To Be Drug Out Into The Country And Beat With A Big A** Stick"

This is the DTOM who was once seen sitting in Santa Claus' lap. Santa was actually James W. Smith aka Big Red who was investigated by the McCarthy commission on charges of accusations of disloyalty, subversion, or treason. DTOM's ties go much deeper. For years he did business with a company having connections to foreign funds. In the past year alone, DTOM and his comrades have provided financial support through secretive and complex channels to OPEC and a variety of Arabic sovereignties as well as to concerns doing business with elements of the former Soviet Union. Several of his internet connections are thought to have sticky relationships with the world-wide scourge of internet pornography. And if running a continuous stream of subversive propaganda isn't enough to close the FBI case, the files at DHS and NSA should clinch it. Oh what a tangled webreport abuse

A parent took his kid to the hospital with a cut over his eye thinking he needed stitches. Not so, doctor put on a band-aid. $900.00

Had this happened in NH it is far more likely that he could have afforded health insurance.

Greg,

Although this particular case may NOT have been work related, I'm not wrong about what I wrote.

If his case wasn't work related, then my comments don't apply to his particular case. My comments on self-employment and auto accidents, however are factual on their own.report abuse
