            <title>It ain&#039;t over till it&#039;s over! Indeed it ain&#039;t!</title>
            <description>The present Obama lead is still precarious given what he is up against with racism and perceived Democrat suppport for &quot;politicial correctness&quot; destructive of America&#039;s traditional values - two handicaps I keep drawing attention to when Obama&#039;s supporters show signs of over-confidence. It&#039;s still a nail-biter for us Europeans whose future will be decided by an American electorate who brought us G W Bush not once but twice.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This election is still very much about national security as well as the economy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is still the danger that near the last moment al Qaeda or some other enemy will pull off some major attack or security challenge - maybe something we&#039;re not even thinking about - in an attempt to help Senator McCain who is far the most likely to follow GW Bush in (unwittingly) giving al Qaeda and other enemies all they want as he has done to date. (See reports of what they&#039;re threatening now on restricted access terrorist sites).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means that during these last days before 4 November it is important to keep crying out loudly that &quot;experience&quot; is no automatic qualification to be Commander-in-Chief! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I keep saying, the simple point is that no one had as many years of &quot;hands on&quot; experience in national security/military affairs as Cheney and Rumsfeld: but their astonishing bad judgement got us all into the Iraq war with its calamitous (for &quot;the West&quot;) consequences.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And Senator McCain - despite all his Vietnam experience and his years in the Senate - himself demonstrated appalling bad judgement by voting for the invasion of Iraq which risked bringing and has indeed brought not one but two more &quot;Vietnams&quot; - Iraq and Afghanistan: when to leave, how to leave without leaving behind a trail of disaster far worse than after the fall of Saigon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet seemingly near half of intended voters will vote for him and Mme Pailin (who has a 1 in 7, we are told, actuarial likelihood of becoming president within the next four years if Senator McCain wins)  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ye - these are truly nail biting days for us Europeans whose fate will be decided on 4 November. &lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq: Part Two</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Some comments to &amp;quot;Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq&amp;quot; yesterday said things such as &#039;read up before you post!&#039;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was a national security consultant to the Department of Defense at a time when that meant I&amp;nbsp;took my martinis &amp;quot;shaken not stirred.&amp;quot; Under contract to the DoD, I co-authored a conflict prediction study forty years ago that set forth today&#039;s MidEast situation with perfect accuracy.&amp;nbsp;Yesterday&#039;s commenters implied I don&#039;t understand the MidEast. In fact, I predicted it 40 years in advance, perfectly! Which made me the only Presidential candidate who actually has foreign affairs &lt;u&gt;competence&lt;/u&gt;. My writings here are not from readings, but from hands on experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I met the Shah, and spent time with the CIA controllers who lived in the palace &amp;quot;furnishing advice&amp;quot; on his every act. The Shah was our puppet, owned lock, stock and barrel. British MI-6 created the Shah by kidnapping him when they killed his father for collaborating with Hitler, and MI-6 agents raised and educated the Shah. Our CIA took him over in the 1960s. Yes, he used torture. Duh! Iran is in Central Asia!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Everyone between Poland and China uses torture as casually as Columbia University undergrads deprive their opponents of the right to free speech and freedom of assembly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Carter ordered our CIA out of Iran and cut off all support and supplies. The Shah had the most modern Air Force in the world, all state of the art American technology because Iran was the armored firewall protecting Arabia and oil from takeover by the USSR, with whom they shared a long, and viciously battle torn border.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Carter cut off replacement parts and withdrew&amp;nbsp;the thousands of American contractors who maintained the advanced technology air force, armoured brigades, and communications systems, Iran&#039;s military was rendered immobile within weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Carter withdrew the hordes of American intelligence gatherers, the Shah lost much of his knowledge of the Russian sabateurs infiltrating Iran and who were organizing, supplying, paying salaries to, and training the so-called &amp;quot;popular uprising.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every day there was military action of both Soviet organized phony internal &amp;quot;rebels&amp;quot; as well direct small scale invasions by USSR secret police groups operating in every poluation center inside Iran. As soon as Carter crippled Iran&#039;s military, death loomed large.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ayatollah Khomeni lived in exile in Paris financed by the USSR. Just as we had CIA sitting alongside the Shah every day, Soviet Russia had agents walking beside Khomeni all day long, every day. Iran was the biggest prize of the Cold War. Remeber, this was immediately after the Soviet/China alliance whupped us in Vietnam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As soon as the Russian terror squads verified that Carter really had, with monumental stupidity, removed all support from the Iranian government so that the Soviet guerrillas could operate inside Iran with impunity, Soviet agents took control of the Tehran aerodrome, and chartered, using Russian bank accounts for payment, an Air France plance to fly Khomeni back into Iran while a US Air Force plane flew the Shah to safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever since then Russia and Iran have functioned as a single weapon against American interests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Iran controls the &amp;quot;democratically elected&amp;quot; government of Iraq. Iraq&#039;s President and his top officers have large personal offices in Tehran! They shuttle back and forth getting their instructions from the Ayatollahs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is no different from the way the Chinese Communist Secret Service had a so called &amp;quot;Arkansas restauranteur&amp;quot; with an office and satellite dish accross the street from the White House.&amp;nbsp;That &amp;quot;restauranteur&amp;quot; was never vetted for White House access by the Secret Service but had a special, one of a kind pass, that let him run in and out&amp;nbsp;of the White House and barge in unannounced on Bill Clinton&#039;s meetings. He was Clinton&#039;s best friend and confident. When the &amp;quot;restauranteur&amp;quot; was supoened by Congress, he boarded a plane to Hong Kong and nobody including our CIA has been able to find him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Intelligence agencies have enormous influence behind the scenes of all governments. How do you think French President Sarkozy got together with the Russian President on 90 minutes notice and negotiated a Treaty that let the Russinas do anything they want in Georiga and still be in compliance with the Treaty?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And Sarkozy loves Nobama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WHY THE SUNNIS FEEL BETRAYED&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We promised them a role in the Iraqi government if they fought on our side against Al Quada. Now the Iraqi government is not embracing them, but exterminating them. And the Iraqi government has its real offices in Tehran. The President of Iraq commutes to his Tehran office for instructions from his masters before making any decisions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Iranians hate the Sunnis as much as Pakistan hates India. Fallujah was the site of a massacre of Shiites by Sunnis many centuries ago. For Shiia, the annual pilgrimage to Fallujah ranks almost equal with the pigrimage&amp;nbsp;to Mecca, for Shiia&amp;nbsp;to reiiterate their hatred of Sunnis and reinforce their desire for vengeance. US public television regularly broadcasts coverage of this annual Shiia convention to pledge vengeance against the Sunnis. Nobama&#039;s withdrawal makes it possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, today&#039;s news reports that Shiite Extremist Muqtada al-Sadr is rousing his militia to protest our withdrawal as too slow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are following the Nobama timetable to leave Iraq, so the Iranian Shiites can exterminate their enemies for ten centuries, the Sunnis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Ethnic Cleansing in Iraq: We Fought for Nothing</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Gen. Petraeus success came from convincing the Sunnis to fight alongside us to expel Al Quaeda. We promised them a role in the government in exchange for fighting on our side. Now that we and the Sunnis have succeeded, the Iranian backed Shiite government has put a bounty on the heads of the Sunnis fighters and have sent the Shiite Iraqi Army (that we equipped and trained) out to arrest and disarm our Sunni allies. The Sunnis now view us as having betrayed them. Iran and their ally Russia correctly view us as fools for letting this disaster occur. The next world war will be Russia and Iran taking all the MidEast oil while China sits laughing in the background as the rest of the world destroys itself and us. And Nobama and McSleep are too stupid to notice this happening, let alone how to do anything about it. Iran benefitted tremendously from Jimmy Carter. Before Jimmy Carter Iran was our strongest ally. Carter turned it over to the Shiite extremists, who thanked him by seizing our Embassy and humiliating America. Now Nobama and McSleep are letting the Shiite Extremists take over Iraq, and from there, the entire MidEAst. May God help us, because both our Democratic party and the Republicans are never going to help us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Interesting from Tehran Times</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I find the following newsclip from the Tehran Times interesting:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;President Mahmud Ahmadinejad has called for full cooperation between the Majlis and the administration in implementation of the economic reform plan.&amp;nbsp; The plan states that all subsidies for various products should be directly paid to the people.&amp;nbsp; The president called energy a &amp;ldquo;national asset&amp;rdquo; and cited &amp;ldquo;saving the energy&amp;rdquo; as one of the aims of the plan.&amp;nbsp; The plan was devised to tackle rising inflation (at 26.1 percent) and to ensure that low-income families pay less taxes and receive more government benefits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In order to decrease inflation caused by middlemen, the plan calls for the creation of a direct link between consumers and producers through new chain stores and monitoring of the distribution of goods through the use of&amp;nbsp; a new national coding system for all products.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Geopolitics of the Caucasus</title>
            <description>If the the military forces of the Russian Federation chose to intervene in a conflict involving Iran their forces would have two avenues of approach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One avenue lies east of the Caspian Sea and would require the Russian military to conduct an approach march of approximately 700 miles before finally reaching northeastern Iran.  These forces would then be approximately 200 east of Tehran, 500 miles north of the Persian Gulf, and 500 miles northeast of Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this approach march the Russian forces would have to pass through the territory of at least two other nations - Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 1 of this year Reuters reported that, &quot;On a visit to Kazakhstan, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence Mitchell Shivers signed a new five-year cooperation plan with Kazakhstan envisaging fresh U.S. assistance in matters ranging from military reform and equipment to education....in remarks sent to Reuters by the U.S. embassy,&quot; Shivers said, &quot;As a member of NATO, the U.S. is committed to helping Kazakhstan in improving its inter-operability with equipment and training to U.S. and NATO standards.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CIA World Fact Book states, &quot;Kazakhstan, the largest of the former Soviet republics in territory, excluding Russia, possesses enormous fossil fuel reserves and plentiful supplies of other minerals and metals.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 1, 2007 the internet newspaper GAZETA.KZ &lt;br /&gt;
reported that, &quot;Turkmenistan co-operates with the NATO also through the &quot;Partnership for Peace&quot; programme and on the bilateral basis usual for the Central Asian states. Moreover, it is interesting to note that Turkmenistan was the first ever Central Asian state that joined the programme in May 1994. The training and retraining of military specialists and supplies of equipment are carried out per the programme.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second avenue west of the Caspian Sea would require an approach march of approximately 120 miles through the country of Azerbaijan.  The military force would then be approximately 300 miles northwest of Tehran, 200 miles northeast of Iraq, and 600 miles north of the Persian Gulf.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These forces would, therefore, be on the northern flank of any military forces entering Iran from Iraq and positioned to cut them off from their supply bases in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alternatively, the Russian force could enter northern Iraq and threaten Baghdad which is approximately 250 miles from that area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conjunction with an advance west of the Caspian Sea the Russian military would also probably cover the flank of their forces by entering at least some portions of Georgia and Armenia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the event of military intervention in Iran it is far more likely that Russian Federation military forces will advance into Iran by routes west of the Caspian Sea rather than by routes east of the Caspian.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is possable that the Russians are laying the foundation for such an advance with their current operations in Georgia.</description>

            <title>Iraq and Iran have never been tighter</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Well, it look like all the attempts, by CIA operatives--paid for by you and me taxpayers have failed to create Iraq and Iran into enemy states.&amp;nbsp; Here is an article that I read this morning in the Tehran Times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tehran Times August 10 - Top Iraqi officials to visit Tehran Soon: SIIC official&lt;br /&gt;Moshen Hakim, the political advisor to the Supreme Islamic iraqi Council chief, on Friday said a delegation of Iraqi senior officials plan to visit iran in coming days.&amp;nbsp; He said that since the Saddam regime collapsed, Tehran and Baghdad have signed almost 100 cooperation agreements.&amp;nbsp; Such close cooperation is unprecedented in the history of Iraq&amp;rsquo;s foreign relations.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hakim added that economic exchanges between the two states touched $3 billion last year, vowing that the figure will rise to $20 billion by yearend.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;We have been witnessing strong cultural relations between the two neighbors.&amp;nbsp; For the first time since the overthrow of Saddan, 160 Iraqi scholars and writers visited the Islamic&amp;nbsp; Republic.&amp;nbsp; Hakim said regular meeting between the two neighbors&amp;rsquo; officals prove that bilateral relations are at the best level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said the enemies&amp;rsquo; campaign to foment discord between the two states will fail as Tehran and Baghdad are making unfailing efforts to bolster comprehensive ties.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;The enemies of the two nations have always tried to create division between the brother nations of Iran and Iraq but these efforts will yield no result.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=174895&quot;&gt;http://www.tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=174895&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH ISSUED ORDERS TO ASSASINATE AMERICAN CITIZEN, LORI ZARLENGA-BLAQUIERE</title>
            <description>8-8-08&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My name is Lori Zarlenga- Blaquiere. I was born on September 14, 1961 in the state of Rhode Island. I am writing to you for your immediate help. My life is in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to &lt;br /&gt;
assassinate/murder me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies, among others, are engaged in cover up and carrying out President Bushâ??s orders to assassinate me.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can contact me at my email  LoriZarlenga@gmail.com and&lt;br /&gt;

I have evidence and tapes on top officials and law enforcement among others to support my &lt;br /&gt;
claims. The current Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse , Senator Jack Reed and former Senator Lincoln Chafee, among others are covering up and will not help me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received &lt;br /&gt;
comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million &lt;br /&gt;
members on their website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am &amp; 6:00 am a West Warwick &lt;br /&gt;
Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007,  a West Warwick Police vehicle came &lt;br /&gt;
up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year &lt;br /&gt;
old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger &lt;br /&gt;
side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue &lt;br /&gt;
West Warwick, R.I.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police &lt;br /&gt;
vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back &lt;br /&gt;
seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West &lt;br /&gt;
Warwick Police were on the scene.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the &lt;br /&gt;
vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with  my &lt;br /&gt;
mother and son  in the front seat of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force &lt;br /&gt;
handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of  the West Warwick Police Vehicle. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on &lt;br /&gt;
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police &lt;br /&gt;
Officer repeatedly ignored me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continued to ask the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on &lt;br /&gt;
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was &lt;br /&gt;
trying to protect me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to &lt;br /&gt;
each other with regard to capturing me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I was in the back seat of the West Warwick Police vehicle, a West Warwick Police &lt;br /&gt;
Officer asked me if I was injured and if I needed to go to the hospital inorder to lure me &lt;br /&gt;
into consenting to go to the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not need to go to the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
The West Warwick Police Officer told me that the fire rescue was going to take me to the &lt;br /&gt;
hospital for a psych evaluation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not want to go to the hospital and &lt;br /&gt;
that I did not need a pych evaluation. However, the West Warwick Police Officer told me &lt;br /&gt;
that I had to get into the Fire Rescue and go to the hospital.  As a result, I had no other &lt;br /&gt;
choice but be taken by fire rescue to Kent County Memorial Hospital for a psych &lt;br /&gt;
evaluation without my consent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My  mother told me that the police officers apologized to her and  stated to my mother &lt;br /&gt;
that they made a mistake .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was subsequently taken by ambulance and transferred &lt;br /&gt;
to Land mark Medical Center without my consent and held hostage in lock down mental &lt;br /&gt;
health unit against my will. All of the evidence that was in my favor was ignored &lt;br /&gt;
by the doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County Memorial Hospital and &lt;br /&gt;
Landmark Medical Center. The doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County &lt;br /&gt;
Memorial Hospital and Land mark Medical Center manipulated and skewed the true facts &lt;br /&gt;
to cause me harm in connection with helping law enforcement and United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government  from preventing me from exposing the truth to the American people and  &lt;br /&gt;
my case continuing on Appeal with regard to the criminal acts committed by law &lt;br /&gt;
enforcement and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My Mother stated to the psychiatrist and nurses at Landmark Medical Center that I was &lt;br /&gt;
not delusional or paranoid and that I have never been a danger to myself or others and &lt;br /&gt;
that I have no history of mental health, and that I have never had a history of being &lt;br /&gt;
prescribed psychiatric medication and that I did not need psychiatric medication&lt;br /&gt;
my complaints against law enforcement are legitimate. &lt;br /&gt;
However, Dr. Elahi disregarded my mother statements and proceeded to contact his lawyer to &lt;br /&gt;
discuss whether or not he should discharge me, despite all evidence in my favor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My family member stated to me that nurses at Landmark Medial Center made &lt;br /&gt;
statements about being disgusted with Dr. Shahid Elahi for consulting with his lawyer &lt;br /&gt;
with regard to whether or not to discharge me and delaying my discharge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nurses at Landmark Medical Center stated to me that I did not belong at Landmark &lt;br /&gt;
Medical Center Mental Health Unit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have never had a history of mental illness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 4, 2007, I was discharged from Landmark Medical Center.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I have never had a history of being targeted by the United States Government, Federal &lt;br /&gt;
and State law enforcement, among others prior to my L-tryptophan lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In August of  2007,  I had an Appeal pending in the First Circuit United States Court of &lt;br /&gt;
Appeals with regard to my December 7, 2006 Complaint against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government et al. As a result, of being held hostage in the hospital from August 21, 2007 &lt;br /&gt;
to September of  2007, along with  intimidation  from law enforcement, among others in &lt;br /&gt;
connection with the United States Government I was unable to respond important &lt;br /&gt;
deadlines set by the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals . As a result, my Appeal with the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals is in default/dismissed for lack of &lt;br /&gt;
diligent prosecution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of my ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan manufactured by Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K., I developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia Syndrome.  There are &lt;br /&gt;
approximately 5,000 people who ingested  contaminated L-tryptophan &lt;br /&gt;
manufactured by Showa Denko K.K., and developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia &lt;br /&gt;
Syndrome.  There maybe more unreported cases of Eosinphilia Myalgia &lt;br /&gt;
Syndrome caused by ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, &lt;br /&gt;
among other  violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued &lt;br /&gt;
illegal use of L-tryptophan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K., for violation of the FDA &lt;br /&gt;
rules mentioned herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold &lt;br /&gt;
to the American Public and caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-&lt;br /&gt;
tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 On October 25, 1995, I filed a products liability lawsuit against the Defendants &lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al. in &lt;br /&gt;
the State of Rhode Island Superior Court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case was transferred to Rhode Island District Court, (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K., &lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., C.A.No.1:95-629 ).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case was subsequently transferred for discovery to (MDL) United States District Court &lt;br /&gt;
Columbia, South Carolina, C. A. No. 3:96-361-0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General &lt;br /&gt;
Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., (C.A.No.1:95-629 )  was remanded to Rhode Island &lt;br /&gt;
District Court in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 I  hired a lawyer Dennis S. Mackin in 2000/2001 who used  my case to file discovery &lt;br /&gt;
motions in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-&lt;br /&gt;
361-0), damaging to the defendant ShowaDenkoK.K.,their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and &lt;br /&gt;
Hamilton, and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former lawyer Dennis Mackin was paid off to withdraw from my case and to &lt;br /&gt;
not go forward with the discovery motions and depositions damaging to Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The discovery sought in my case that my former attorney Dennis Mackin filed in 2001 in   the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-361-0) was to demonstrate that Showa Denko K.K. and its attorneys have been involved in a continuing conspiracy to not only circumvent the discovery process, but to manipulate any scientific examination of Showa Denko K.K.â??s  reckless and wanton conductâ??. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government wiretapped my phones, hacked my computers, surviellanced me during my L-tryptophan litigation and to the present. The United States Government obstructed justice, unlawfully sabotage my case inside and outside of the court system at every level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his October 12, 2001 Reply of Plaintiff to Defendant&#039;s Motion to Qaush Deposition of Kenneth Rabin , that &quot;additional questions must be answered about political pressure brought to bear upon members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation.&quot;&quot; What information was given to Senator Thurmond, Senator Hollings and Congressman Ravenell?&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documents made by Showa Denko K.K. included a budget attached to their public &lt;br /&gt;
relation scheme which was an amount determined for congressional &lt;br /&gt;
contracts, including the South Carolina delegation which was for 16, 000.00.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his motions that, â?? The research of &lt;br /&gt;
this Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome has been twisted by the endless &lt;br /&gt;
manipulations by Showa Denko K.K and their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and &lt;br /&gt;
Hamilton and their confederatesâ??. â?? Worst of all, the scientific literature now &lt;br /&gt;
contains representations by shills for Showa Denko K.K. that will cause erroneous &lt;br /&gt;
medical science in the futureâ??.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government is involved in the cover up .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 My former attorney Dennis Mackin informed me that a promoter of an EMS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
support group was being surveillanced  and that anyone that who was viewed as a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
threat was being surveillanced and intelligence was gathered .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The defendant Showa Denko K.K. a corrupt corporate giant, their corrupt lawyers, &lt;br /&gt;
and the United States Government conspired with all the courts at every level to &lt;br /&gt;
sabotage my case and the L-tryptophan litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government view me as &lt;br /&gt;
a threat, since my  lawsuit still remains open that is damaging against Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K. and  General Nutrition Centers (GNC), among others. Also, Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government, President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear the threat of civil and criminal action against them for their unlawful criminal activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I pose a threat to Showa Denko K.K. and the United States Government since, &lt;br /&gt;
my  L-tryptophan lawsuit could re-open previous settlements entered into by &lt;br /&gt;
2,000- 5,000 L-tryptophan litigants on the basis of fraudulent inducement and the &lt;br /&gt;
United States Government&#039;s involvement in the cover up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were entered into by L-tryptophan Plaintiffs who were unaware of the defendants fraudulent concealment and the United States Government&#039;s cover up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko K.K., the United States Government, President George W. Bush and &lt;br /&gt;
Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear a movie being made and publicizing &lt;br /&gt;
their criminal activities which has continued to date. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush&#039;s father former President George H. W. Bush Sr. was &lt;br /&gt;
President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 during the Eosiophilia Myalgia Syndrome epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I filed a Complaint on December 7, 2006 against the United States Government et al. in &lt;br /&gt;
the United States District Court of Rhode Island, CA. No. 06-534 ML. My complaint is &lt;br /&gt;
pending in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Government have hired &lt;br /&gt;
my family, among others as informants to surveillance and gather intelligence on me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time that I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against a number of defendants &lt;br /&gt;
who are employed by the United States Government, I was unaware of orders issued by &lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assasinate/ &lt;br /&gt;
murder me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spoke to a state senator with regard to my circumstances of law enforcement on the state and federal level that have harassed, targeted, survillenced me and have come out to my house and follow me on a daily basis. Also, the West Warwick police have even parked at my grandchildâ??s school shortly after I exposed President George W. Bush orders to assassinate/murder me.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The state senator stated to me that federal law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Department of Justice are employed by President George W. Bush. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Moreover, my case is not isolated by a small number of police and law enforcement targeting and surveillanceing me.   There are to many law enforcement and police and government officials organized at the highest level on the federal and local level that have targeted and surviellanced me. The state senator stated that the orders to murder me are coming from the President George W. Bush .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Further, the Rhode Island State Police who have been targeting and surviellancing me are given orders from Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June or July of 2007, President George W. Bush came to Rhode Island and went on a &lt;br /&gt;
private helicopter ride with Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri and had discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Shortly after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government et al, two key defendants named in my complaint retired Captain Gregory &lt;br /&gt;
Johnson of the West Warwick Police Department  and Supervisory Special Agent &lt;br /&gt;
Nicholas Murphy of the Federal Bureau of investigation of R.I., and there may be others &lt;br /&gt;
who have also retired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I am targeted, followed, and surveillanced by police officers, among others in the towns and places I travel in the state of Rhode Island and out of the state of Rhode Island on a daily basis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The level of intensity and the number of police targeting, surviellancing, and following me has increased after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint. And now since I have exposed President George W. Bush who issued orders to assassinate/murder me, the level of intensity and the number of police surviellacing and following me has further increased.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My telephones are wiretapped. The United States Government is hacking my computers.&lt;br /&gt;
The Federal Bureau of investigation, among others covered up the investigation of the hacking of my computers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Federal Bureau of investigation, United States Attorneys Office , Attorney Generals office, Department of Justice, among others are covering up and aware of the fact that I was kidnapped and assaulted by a Warwick Police Officer Joseph Mee on January 22, 2006 that was organized at the highest level of United States Government to assassinate/ murder me.&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, law enforcement, among others are covering up the fact that on December 15, 2005 and December 16, 2005,  Captain Gregg Johnson and Officer Patrick Kelly and the Kent County  Memorial Hospital Emergency Room Staff violated my constitutional rights and deprived  me of liberty against my will and without my consent to cause me harm in connection with the United States Government and  Showa Denko K.K.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 14, 2006, I spoke to Laura Lineberry who is Condalezza Rice&#039;s personal assistant. Laura Lineberry informed me that she could not help me with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and that I should leave a message with the Representative of Secretary of State. I left a message with the Representative of Secretary of State, but no one returned my call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 14, 2006, I contacted the White House comments department in Washington, DC for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and spoke to a young lady number(77) who stated she would pass on my comments to her supervisor and that her supervisor would summarize my comments and give it to President Bush. On April 14, 2006, I was unaware that President George W. Bush issued orders to assassinate/ murder me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush, Condalezza Rice&#039;s office , nor anyone associated with the White House, responded in any way shape or form to my plea for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have evidence of my telephone calls to the White House, among others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The IP Addresses with regard to the hacking of my computers have been traced to Washington, D.C.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

My login is: lz0129   My password is 3y6!pomz ( party name is under my married name of Blaquiere) December 8, 2006 thru December 8, 2007 is the date you would use to view my complaint, since December 8, 2006 is the date my complaint was entered by the United States District Court of Rhode Island.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States District Court of Rhode Island omitted my supporting exhibits on &lt;br /&gt;
Pacer website and have intentionally obstructed my case and deprived me of a fair  judicial process, inorder to protect and insulate the United States Government et al.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INITIATE ACTION AGAINST SHOWA DENKO K.K. FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, among other  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued illegal use of L-tryptophan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        In 1970  FDA considered L-tryptophan  (amino acids) , when used as nutrients or dietary supplements, to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        be generally recognized as safe (GRAS)  for those uses, and published that fact in the code of Federal &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Regulations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
             &lt;br /&gt;
         In 1972  FDA engaged in rule making to withdraw and remove approximately  twenty amino acids &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         including L-tryptophan from the GRAS list ( generally recognized as safe) and  to  regulate them as &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         approved food additives that could not be sold without FDA&#039;s prior approval  in the form of a food &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         additive petition, (37 Fed. Reg. 6938; April 6, 1972).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    In 1973  FDA promulgated a binding substantive rule that is presently on the books, the Food additive &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of dietary supplements,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21 C.F.R.   172. 320.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       In 1977, FDA seized L-tryptophan tablets on the grounds that  the L-tryptophan that they  contained  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       was an   unapproved food additive.  The court, however, found  for the manufacturer of the tablets &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      because L-tryptophan was still on the FDA&#039;s GRAS list, (FDA had failed to remove it after the 1973 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      rulemaking), and the manufacturer was acting in accordance with the FDA&#039;s regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
       In 1977, FDA deleted the listing of twenty amino acids that were the subject of the 1973 rulemaking &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       form the GRAS list, ( 42 Fed. Reg. 56720; October 28, 1977).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     &lt;br /&gt;
      The FDA never renewed its regulatory action against dietary supplements containing L-tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      The food additive regulation that the FDA adopted in 1973 does not list (approve) L-tryptophan for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       this use, and foods that contain unapproved food additive are deemed to be adulterated (21 U.S.C.  342 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      (a) (2) (c)).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         FDA has not brought an action since 1977 against an L-tryptophan dietary supplement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The FDA sought to enforce the rule prohibiting the use of amino acids in dietary supplements in two &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       seizure actions against products containing L-tryptophan.  Those seizure actions were not successful.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The U.S. Government voluntarily dismissed the second lawsuit because the lawsuit was controlled by &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        a very hostile judge and the government feared that it would obtain an adverse ruling that would &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       insulate all dietary supplements from regulation under the food additive provisions of the act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   The FDA has not made any efforts to regulate amino acids since 1982.  FDA ignored the food additive &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       regulations since 1982.  In 1990, there was evidence  showing that 30 amino acids other than L-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       tryptophan were being sold by at least 22 companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The FDA  has failed to date to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.   Showa Denko K.K.  was in &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       violation of the FDA Food additive regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        dietary supplements,  unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration  provisions of Act. 21 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       C.F.R.  172. 320.   FDA should have gone after Showa Denko K.K. on an adulteration charge that the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         L-tryptophan in the supplements is an unapproved food additive under 21  U.S.C. 342 (a) (2) (c).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         Also, FDA failed to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.  with regard to L-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        tryptophan being unfit for food, ( 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3).  L-trytophan associated with illness &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, is unfit for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The FDA could have gone after L-tryptophan supplements as drugs.  The FDA could have &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       developed  evidence that L-tryptophan used for therapeutic purposes  to combat sleeplessness and PMS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       which is what L-tryptophan was advertized for is considered a drug and the FDA finding  L-tryptophan &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       had not met the FDA&#039;s rational food supplement test would permit the  FDA to bring drug charges &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      against the product under either 21 U.S.C.  321(g)  (1) (B) or (c), National  Nutritional Foods &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      Association v. Mathews,  557 F.2nd 325, 334   ( 2d Cir. 1977). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the Rhode Island ACLU website, there is a lawsuit against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government for Illegally surviellacing individuals attending a peace group in Rhode &lt;br /&gt;
Island and in other states. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government has files on these peace groups and have labeled these &lt;br /&gt;
peace group individuals as a threat because their simply anti-war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The illegal acts of our United States Government is not an example of democracy, it is a &lt;br /&gt;
Dictatorship ruled by a dictator President George W. Bush who has committed crimes &lt;br /&gt;
against humanity and has violated our human rights.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Representative John Conyers Jr, was the Chairman re: the July 18, 1991 hearing on the FDA oversight of L-tryptophan.  Representative John Conyers Jr, is currently the Chairman of the U.S. &lt;br /&gt;
House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary who can call for an investigation and immediate congressional hearings into this matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please help me by writing to congress and. to investigate and call for immediate congressional hearings into this matter. Also, contact Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Jack Reed to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter. If the American people place enough political pressure to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter, then an investigation into this matter will go forward and the truth will be exposed to the American people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont,  Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and all members of the Senate to call for investigation and congressional hearings with regard to law enforcement engaged in an ongoing organized crime to assassinate/murder me by orders issued by President George W. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush  has scammed the American people into believing that the Iraq &lt;br /&gt;
war is a &quot;just war&quot; and that the United States military are fighting for democracy, &lt;br /&gt;
freedom and for our safety here at home, and yet at the same time President George W. &lt;br /&gt;
Bush is committing the worst crimes in american history against innocent american &lt;br /&gt;
citizens.  &lt;br /&gt;

I have evidence and tapes on top officials and law enforcement among others to support my &lt;br /&gt;
claims. The current Rhode Island Senators Sheldon Whitehouse , Senator Jack Reed and former Senator Lincoln Chafee, among others are covering up and will not help me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received &lt;br /&gt;
comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million &lt;br /&gt;
members on their website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am &amp; 6:00 am a West Warwick &lt;br /&gt;
Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007,  a West Warwick Police vehicle came &lt;br /&gt;
up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year &lt;br /&gt;
old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger &lt;br /&gt;
side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue &lt;br /&gt;
West Warwick, R.I.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police &lt;br /&gt;
vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back &lt;br /&gt;
seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West &lt;br /&gt;
Warwick Police were on the scene.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the &lt;br /&gt;
vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with  my &lt;br /&gt;
mother and son  in the front seat of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force &lt;br /&gt;
handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of  the West Warwick Police Vehicle. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on &lt;br /&gt;
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police &lt;br /&gt;
Officer repeatedly ignored me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continued to ask the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on &lt;br /&gt;
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was &lt;br /&gt;
trying to protect me .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to &lt;br /&gt;
each other with regard to capturing me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I was in the back seat of the West Warwick Police vehicle, a West Warwick Police &lt;br /&gt;
Officer asked me if I was injured and if I needed to go to the hospital inorder to lure me &lt;br /&gt;
into consenting to go to the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not need to go to the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
The West Warwick Police Officer told me that the fire rescue was going to take me to the &lt;br /&gt;
hospital for a psych evaluation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stated to the West Warwick Police officer that I did not want to go to the hospital and &lt;br /&gt;
that I did not need a pych evaluation. However, the West Warwick Police Officer told me &lt;br /&gt;
that I had to get into the Fire Rescue and go to the hospital.  As a result, I had no other &lt;br /&gt;
choice but be taken by fire rescue to Kent County Memorial Hospital for a psych &lt;br /&gt;
evaluation without my consent. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My  mother told me that the police officers apologized to her and  stated to my mother &lt;br /&gt;
that they made a mistake .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was subsequently taken by ambulance and transferred &lt;br /&gt;
to Land mark Medical Center without my consent and held hostage in lock down mental &lt;br /&gt;
health unit against my will. All of the evidence that was in my favor was ignored &lt;br /&gt;
by the doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County Memorial Hospital and &lt;br /&gt;
Landmark Medical Center. The doctors, social workers, and psychiatrist at Kent County &lt;br /&gt;
Memorial Hospital and Land mark Medical Center manipulated and skewed the true facts &lt;br /&gt;
to cause me harm in connection with helping law enforcement and United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government  from preventing me from exposing the truth to the American people and  &lt;br /&gt;
my case continuing on Appeal with regard to the criminal acts committed by law &lt;br /&gt;
enforcement and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My Mother stated to the psychiatrist and nurses at Landmark Medical Center that I was &lt;br /&gt;
not delusional or paranoid and that I have never been a danger to myself or others and &lt;br /&gt;
that I have no history of mental health, and that I have never had a history of being &lt;br /&gt;
prescribed psychiatric medication and that I did not need psychiatric medication&lt;br /&gt;
my complaints against law enforcement are legitimate. &lt;br /&gt;
However, Dr. Elahi disregarded my mother statements and proceeded to contact his lawyer to &lt;br /&gt;
discuss whether or not he should discharge me, despite all evidence in my favor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My family member stated to me that nurses at Landmark Medial Center made &lt;br /&gt;
statements about being disgusted with Dr. Shahid Elahi for consulting with his lawyer &lt;br /&gt;
with regard to whether or not to discharge me and delaying my discharge. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nurses at Landmark Medical Center stated to me that I did not belong at Landmark &lt;br /&gt;
Medical Center Mental Health Unit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have never had a history of mental illness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 4, 2007, I was discharged from Landmark Medical Center.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I have never had a history of being targeted by the United States Government, Federal &lt;br /&gt;
and State law enforcement, among others prior to my L-tryptophan lawsuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In August of  2007,  I had an Appeal pending in the First Circuit United States Court of &lt;br /&gt;
Appeals with regard to my December 7, 2006 Complaint against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government et al. As a result, of being held hostage in the hospital from August 21, 2007 &lt;br /&gt;
to September of  2007, along with  intimidation  from law enforcement, among others in &lt;br /&gt;
connection with the United States Government I was unable to respond important &lt;br /&gt;
deadlines set by the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals . As a result, my Appeal with the First Circuit United States Court of Appeals is in default/dismissed for lack of &lt;br /&gt;
diligent prosecution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result of my ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan manufactured by Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K., I developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia Syndrome.  There are &lt;br /&gt;
approximately 5,000 people who ingested  contaminated L-tryptophan &lt;br /&gt;
manufactured by Showa Denko K.K., and developed a disease Eosinphilia Myalgia &lt;br /&gt;
Syndrome.  There maybe more unreported cases of Eosinphilia Myalgia &lt;br /&gt;
Syndrome caused by ingestion of contaminated L-tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, &lt;br /&gt;
among other  violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued &lt;br /&gt;
illegal use of L-tryptophan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  If the FDA had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K., for violation of the FDA &lt;br /&gt;
rules mentioned herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold &lt;br /&gt;
to the American Public and caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-&lt;br /&gt;
tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 On October 25, 1995, I filed a products liability lawsuit against the Defendants &lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al. in &lt;br /&gt;
the State of Rhode Island Superior Court. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case was transferred to Rhode Island District Court, (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K., &lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko America, Inc. General Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., C.A.No.1:95-629 ).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case was subsequently transferred for discovery to (MDL) United States District Court &lt;br /&gt;
Columbia, South Carolina, C. A. No. 3:96-361-0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My case (Blaquiere  v. Showa Denko, K.K., Showa Denko America, Inc. General &lt;br /&gt;
Nutrition Centers (GNC), et al., (C.A.No.1:95-629 )  was remanded to Rhode Island &lt;br /&gt;
District Court in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 I  hired a lawyer Dennis S. Mackin in 2000/2001 who used  my case to file discovery &lt;br /&gt;
motions in the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-&lt;br /&gt;
361-0), damaging to the defendant ShowaDenkoK.K.,their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and &lt;br /&gt;
Hamilton, and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former lawyer Dennis Mackin was paid off to withdraw from my case and to &lt;br /&gt;
not go forward with the discovery motions and depositions damaging to Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The discovery sought in my case that my former attorney Dennis Mackin filed in 2001 in   the(MDL) United States District Court Columbia, South Carolina, (C. A. No. 3:96-361-0) was to demonstrate that Showa Denko K.K. and its attorneys have been involved in a continuing conspiracy to not only circumvent the discovery process, but to manipulate any scientific examination of Showa Denko K.K.â??s  reckless and wanton conductâ??. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government wiretapped my phones, hacked my computers, surviellanced me during my L-tryptophan litigation and to the present. The United States Government obstructed justice, unlawfully sabotage my case inside and outside of the court system at every level. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his October 12, 2001 Reply of Plaintiff to Defendant&#039;s Motion to Qaush Deposition of Kenneth Rabin , that &quot;additional questions must be answered about political pressure brought to bear upon members of the South Carolina Congressional delegation.&quot;&quot; What information was given to Senator Thurmond, Senator Hollings and Congressman Ravenell?&quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documents made by Showa Denko K.K. included a budget attached to their public &lt;br /&gt;
relation scheme which was an amount determined for congressional &lt;br /&gt;
contracts, including the South Carolina delegation which was for 16, 000.00.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My former attorney Dennis Mackin stated in his motions that, â?? The research of &lt;br /&gt;
this Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome has been twisted by the endless &lt;br /&gt;
manipulations by Showa Denko K.K and their lawyers,Cleary,Gottlieb,Steen,and &lt;br /&gt;
Hamilton and their confederatesâ??. â?? Worst of all, the scientific literature now &lt;br /&gt;
contains representations by shills for Showa Denko K.K. that will cause erroneous &lt;br /&gt;
medical science in the futureâ??.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government is involved in the cover up .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 My former attorney Dennis Mackin informed me that a promoter of an EMS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
support group was being surveillanced  and that anyone that who was viewed as a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
threat was being surveillanced and intelligence was gathered .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The defendant Showa Denko K.K. a corrupt corporate giant, their corrupt lawyers, &lt;br /&gt;
and the United States Government conspired with all the courts at every level to &lt;br /&gt;
sabotage my case and the L-tryptophan litigation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government view me as &lt;br /&gt;
a threat, since my  lawsuit still remains open that is damaging against Showa &lt;br /&gt;
Denko K.K. and  General Nutrition Centers (GNC), among others. Also, Showa Denko K.K., their lawyers, and the United States Government, President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear the threat of civil and criminal action against them for their unlawful criminal activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I pose a threat to Showa Denko K.K. and the United States Government since, &lt;br /&gt;
my  L-tryptophan lawsuit could re-open previous settlements entered into by &lt;br /&gt;
2,000- 5,000 L-tryptophan litigants on the basis of fraudulent inducement and the &lt;br /&gt;
United States Government&#039;s involvement in the cover up. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They were entered into by L-tryptophan Plaintiffs who were unaware of the defendants fraudulent concealment and the United States Government&#039;s cover up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Showa Denko K.K., the United States Government, President George W. Bush and &lt;br /&gt;
Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri fear a movie being made and publicizing &lt;br /&gt;
their criminal activities which has continued to date. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush&#039;s father former President George H. W. Bush Sr. was &lt;br /&gt;
President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 during the Eosiophilia Myalgia Syndrome epidemic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I filed a Complaint on December 7, 2006 against the United States Government et al. in &lt;br /&gt;
the United States District Court of Rhode Island, CA. No. 06-534 ML. My complaint is &lt;br /&gt;
pending in the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The United States Government have hired &lt;br /&gt;
my family, among others as informants to surveillance and gather intelligence on me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time that I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against a number of defendants &lt;br /&gt;
who are employed by the United States Government, I was unaware of orders issued by &lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assasinate/ &lt;br /&gt;
murder me. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I spoke to a state senator with regard to my circumstances of law enforcement on the state and federal level that have harassed, targeted, survillenced me and have come out to my house and follow me on a daily basis. Also, the West Warwick police have even parked at my grandchildâ??s school shortly after I exposed President George W. Bush orders to assassinate/murder me.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The state senator stated to me that federal law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States, and the Department of Justice are employed by President George W. Bush. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  Moreover, my case is not isolated by a small number of police and law enforcement targeting and surveillanceing me.   There are to many law enforcement and police and government officials organized at the highest level on the federal and local level that have targeted and surviellanced me. The state senator stated that the orders to murder me are coming from the President George W. Bush .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Further, the Rhode Island State Police who have been targeting and surviellancing me are given orders from Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June or July of 2007, President George W. Bush came to Rhode Island and went on a &lt;br /&gt;
private helicopter ride with Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri and had discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 Shortly after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government et al, two key defendants named in my complaint retired Captain Gregory &lt;br /&gt;
Johnson of the West Warwick Police Department  and Supervisory Special Agent &lt;br /&gt;
Nicholas Murphy of the Federal Bureau of investigation of R.I., and there may be others &lt;br /&gt;
who have also retired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 I am targeted, followed, and surveillanced by police officers, among others in the towns and places I travel in the state of Rhode Island and out of the state of Rhode Island on a daily basis. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The level of intensity and the number of police targeting, surviellancing, and following me has increased after I filed my December 7, 2006 complaint. And now since I have exposed President George W. Bush who issued orders to assassinate/murder me, the level of intensity and the number of police surviellacing and following me has further increased.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My telephones are wiretapped. The United States Government is hacking my computers.&lt;br /&gt;
The Federal Bureau of investigation, among others covered up the investigation of the hacking of my computers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Federal Bureau of investigation, United States Attorneys Office , Attorney Generals office, Department of Justice, among others are covering up and aware of the fact that I was kidnapped and assaulted by a Warwick Police Officer Joseph Mee on January 22, 2006 that was organized at the highest level of United States Government to assassinate/ murder me.&lt;br /&gt;
              &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further, law enforcement, among others are covering up the fact that on December 15, 2005 and December 16, 2005,  Captain Gregg Johnson and Officer Patrick Kelly and the Kent County  Memorial Hospital Emergency Room Staff violated my constitutional rights and deprived  me of liberty against my will and without my consent to cause me harm in connection with the United States Government and  Showa Denko K.K.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 14, 2006, I spoke to Laura Lineberry who is Condalezza Rice&#039;s personal assistant. Laura Lineberry informed me that she could not help me with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and that I should leave a message with the Representative of Secretary of State. I left a message with the Representative of Secretary of State, but no one returned my call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 14, 2006, I contacted the White House comments department in Washington, DC for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein, and spoke to a young lady number(77) who stated she would pass on my comments to her supervisor and that her supervisor would summarize my comments and give it to President Bush. On April 14, 2006, I was unaware that President George W. Bush issued orders to assassinate/ murder me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush, Condalezza Rice&#039;s office , nor anyone associated with the White House, responded in any way shape or form to my plea for help with regard to my circumstances mentioned herein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have evidence of my telephone calls to the White House, among others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The IP Addresses with regard to the hacking of my computers have been traced to Washington, D.C.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The United States District Court of Rhode Island omitted my supporting exhibits on &lt;br /&gt;
Pacer website and have intentionally obstructed my case and deprived me of a fair  judicial process, inorder to protect and insulate the United States Government et al.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INITIATE ACTION AGAINST SHOWA DENKO K.K. FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       The L-tryptophan problem is the fault of the FDA due to lack of enforcement of 172.320, among other  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       violations of the FDA rules.  Therefore, the FDA permitted the continued illegal use of L-tryptophan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        In 1970  FDA considered L-tryptophan  (amino acids) , when used as nutrients or dietary supplements, to &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        be generally recognized as safe (GRAS)  for those uses, and published that fact in the code of Federal &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Regulations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
             &lt;br /&gt;
         In 1972  FDA engaged in rule making to withdraw and remove approximately  twenty amino acids &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         including L-tryptophan from the GRAS list ( generally recognized as safe) and  to  regulate them as &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         approved food additives that could not be sold without FDA&#039;s prior approval  in the form of a food &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         additive petition, (37 Fed. Reg. 6938; April 6, 1972).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    In 1973  FDA promulgated a binding substantive rule that is presently on the books, the Food additive &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of dietary supplements,   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration provisions of Act. 21 C.F.R.   172. 320.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       In 1977, FDA seized L-tryptophan tablets on the grounds that  the L-tryptophan that they  contained  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       was an   unapproved food additive.  The court, however, found  for the manufacturer of the tablets &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      because L-tryptophan was still on the FDA&#039;s GRAS list, (FDA had failed to remove it after the 1973 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      rulemaking), and the manufacturer was acting in accordance with the FDA&#039;s regulation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
       In 1977, FDA deleted the listing of twenty amino acids that were the subject of the 1973 rulemaking &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       form the GRAS list, ( 42 Fed. Reg. 56720; October 28, 1977).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     &lt;br /&gt;
      The FDA never renewed its regulatory action against dietary supplements containing L-tryptophan .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      The food additive regulation that the FDA adopted in 1973 does not list (approve) L-tryptophan for &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       this use, and foods that contain unapproved food additive are deemed to be adulterated (21 U.S.C.  342 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      (a) (2) (c)).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         FDA has not brought an action since 1977 against an L-tryptophan dietary supplement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The FDA sought to enforce the rule prohibiting the use of amino acids in dietary supplements in two &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       seizure actions against products containing L-tryptophan.  Those seizure actions were not successful.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The U.S. Government voluntarily dismissed the second lawsuit because the lawsuit was controlled by &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        a very hostile judge and the government feared that it would obtain an adverse ruling that would &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       insulate all dietary supplements from regulation under the food additive provisions of the act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   The FDA has not made any efforts to regulate amino acids since 1982.  FDA ignored the food additive &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       regulations since 1982.  In 1990, there was evidence  showing that 30 amino acids other than L-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       tryptophan were being sold by at least 22 companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    The FDA  has failed to date to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.   Showa Denko K.K.  was in &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       violation of the FDA Food additive regulation that makes all amino acids, when used as components of &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        dietary supplements,  unsafe food additives that violate the adulteration  provisions of Act. 21 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       C.F.R.  172. 320.   FDA should have gone after Showa Denko K.K. on an adulteration charge that the &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         L-tryptophan in the supplements is an unapproved food additive under 21  U.S.C. 342 (a) (2) (c).   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
         Also, FDA failed to bring charges against Showa Denko K.K.  with regard to L-&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        tryptophan being unfit for food, ( 21 U.S.C. 342 (a) (3).  L-trytophan associated with illness &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome, is unfit for food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        The FDA could have gone after L-tryptophan supplements as drugs.  The FDA could have &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       developed  evidence that L-tryptophan used for therapeutic purposes  to combat sleeplessness and PMS &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       which is what L-tryptophan was advertized for is considered a drug and the FDA finding  L-tryptophan &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       had not met the FDA&#039;s rational food supplement test would permit the  FDA to bring drug charges &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      against the product under either 21 U.S.C.  321(g)  (1) (B) or (c), National  Nutritional Foods &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
      Association v. Mathews,  557 F.2nd 325, 334   ( 2d Cir. 1977). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
        If the FDA  had enforced action against Showa Denko K.K.,for violation of the FDA rules mentioned &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       herein,  then L-tryptophan would not have been  on the market and  sold to the American Public and &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
       caused death and illnesses associated with the sales of L-tryptophan in violation of  the FDA rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the Rhode Island ACLU website, there is a lawsuit against the United States &lt;br /&gt;
Government for Illegally surviellacing individuals attending a peace group in Rhode &lt;br /&gt;
Island and in other states. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States Government has files on these peace groups and have labeled these &lt;br /&gt;
peace group individuals as a threat because their simply anti-war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The illegal acts of our United States Government is not an example of democracy, it is a &lt;br /&gt;
Dictatorship ruled by a dictator President George W. Bush who has committed crimes &lt;br /&gt;
against humanity and has violated our human rights.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Representative John Conyers Jr, was the Chairman re: the July 18, 1991 hearing on the FDA oversight of L-tryptophan.  Representative John Conyers Jr, is currently the Chairman of the U.S. &lt;br /&gt;
House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary who can call for an investigation and immediate congressional hearings into this matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please help me by writing to congress and. to investigate and call for immediate congressional hearings into this matter. Also, contact Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Senator Jack Reed to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter. If the American people place enough political pressure to investigate and call for congressional hearings into this matter, then an investigation into this matter will go forward and the truth will be exposed to the American people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, please contact Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont,  Senator Arlen Specter, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator John McCain, Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barack Obama, and all members of the Senate to call for investigation and congressional hearings with regard to law enforcement engaged in an ongoing organized crime to assassinate/murder me by orders issued by President George W. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President George W. Bush  has scammed the American people into believing that the Iraq &lt;br /&gt;
war is a &quot;just war&quot; and that the United States military are fighting for democracy, &lt;br /&gt;
freedom and for our safety here at home, and yet at the same time President George W. &lt;br /&gt;
Bush is committing the worst crimes in american history against innocent american &lt;br /&gt;
citizens.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
 I posted a diary on the Daily Kos website on August 12, 2007 with regard to mytha life being in immediate danger from orders issued by President George W. Bush and Rhode Island Governor Donald Carcieri to assassinate/murder me.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I continued to stay on the Daily Kos website until sometime after 5:00 am and received &lt;br /&gt;
comments from the Daily Kos members community. The Daily Kos has over 1 million &lt;br /&gt;
members on their website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007, I was uploading exhibits, photos, and evidence to the Daily Kos members that support my claims against the United States Government et al.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12, 2007 at approximately between 5:00 am &amp; 6:00 am a West Warwick &lt;br /&gt;
Police officer came out to my house at 101 Border Street West Warwick, R.I. and violently banged at the doors at my house and continued to violently bang at the doors of my house for a long period of time in a terrorizing manner. The West Warwick Police Officer was given orders to stop me from getting the truth out to the American public . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that on August 21, 2007,  a West Warwick Police vehicle came &lt;br /&gt;
up behind the vehicle where I was located in the back seat with my 5 year &lt;br /&gt;
old granddaughter and my mother Victoria Zarlenga who was seated on the passenger &lt;br /&gt;
side and my son Michael Zarlenga who was driving the vehicle on Cowesett Avenue &lt;br /&gt;
West Warwick, R.I.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the police officers proceeded to get out of their police &lt;br /&gt;
vehicles with their guns drawn and aimed at the vehicle where I was located in the back &lt;br /&gt;
seat of the vehicle along with my 5 year old granddaughter, my mother and son . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coventry police, East Greenwich Police, the Rhode Island State Police, and the West &lt;br /&gt;
Warwick Police were on the scene.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that a West Warwick Police Officer pulled me out of the &lt;br /&gt;
vehicle where I was located in the back seat near my 5 year old granddaughter, with  my &lt;br /&gt;
mother and son  in the front seat of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;
I  Lori Ann Zarlenga state that the Police proceeded to slam me to the ground and force &lt;br /&gt;
handcuffs on me and force me in the back seat of  the West Warwick Police Vehicle. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I repeatedly asked the West Warwick Police Officer why the police forced handcuffs on &lt;br /&gt;
me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, but the West Warwick Police &lt;br /&gt;
Officer repeatedly ignored me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

me and forced me in the back seat of the police vehicle, he then stated to me that he was &lt;br /&gt;

While I was in the West Warwick Police vehicle, I observed police officers saluting to &lt;br /&gt;

            <title>Nuclear Weapons - The Truth</title>
            <description>The truth is - nuclear weapons have only two purposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.  Deterance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.  Retaliation - if deterance fails.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Soviet Union wanted the atomic bomb because the U.S. had them.  China because the Soviet&#039;s had them.  India because China had them.  Pakistan because India had them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran supposedly wants them because Israel has them but the real reason is probably because all the other big kids on the block have them.  So, how can you be a regional super power without at least a few???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Iran has some nukes mounted on a missle with sufficient range to deter the U.S. and/or Israel from bombing them with conventional munitions they have achieved what is for them a worth while goal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If, on the other hand, they actually launch one of those weapons what do they risk???  The total destruction of their nation and culture.  That is the real message that they need to understand.</description>

            <title>Iran Warns Israel - so what</title>
            <description>The following is a news report from 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran warned its arch-enemy Israel of &quot;unimaginable losses&quot; if it attacks Syria and vowed that it was standing by the Syrian people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We know that Israel did eventually strike the Syrian nuclear facility so the question then becomes what were the &quot;unimaginable losses&quot; to Israel???  Answer - there weren&#039;t any.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excessive rhetoric has always been a middle eastern trait.  Example - There is a message sent by one of the Hyksos rulers in northern Egypt to a pharoah complaining because the commotion from the pharoah&#039;s hippo hunt - taking place 500 miles away -was keeping the Hyksos ruler awake at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Iranians can talk all they want - it&#039;s just a way of reminding everyone that they think they are still important.&lt;br /&gt;

            <title>From the Front Page of the Iran Daily Newpaper</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt; 				    			Thu, Aug 07, 2008&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iran-daily.com/1387/3191/html/national.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt; 			New Weapon a Warning to Israel &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 		 			 		&lt;p&gt; 		 An Iranian expert on strategic affairs termed Iran&amp;rsquo;s successful testing of a new naval weapon as an apparent response to brazen threats made by the Zionist regime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amir Mousavi told Alalam website on Tuesday &amp;ldquo;Iran is entitled to demonstrate competence of its forces against any possible aggression.&amp;ldquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; On Monday the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) tested a new 300-km range naval weapon (missile) that can be used to block oil shipments from the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, two strategic waterways in the south of Iran.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Referring to the potential of the new indigenous weapon including accurate targeting without satellite surveillance, Mousavi said the test was in line with &amp;ldquo;ways to safeguard national interests.&amp;ldquo;&lt;br /&gt; IRGC Commander Brigadier Generel Mohammad Ali Jafari said this week his naval forces recently tested a weapon with a 300-km range that could be used to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz if an aggressive military action is taken against Iran by the western powers or their Israeli lackey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The design and production technology used in this weapon is completely indigenous to Iran and has never been used in any other country,&amp;ldquo; Jafari said without giving details. &lt;br /&gt; In July, Iran tested nine long-range missiles in a military drill in the Persian Gulf, including the upgraded, longer-range Shahab-3 which can hit targets as far as Israel and US military bases in the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deputy Israeli prime minister, Shaoul Mofaz in June said the Zionist military will resort to military force if Iran refuses to suspend its civilian nuclear program as &amp;ldquo;demanded by the international community.&amp;ldquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, it was unclear who had granted the Zionist deputy premier or other officials in Tel Aviv the liberty to talk on behalf of the so-called international community that has remained silent for more than half a century over the lawlessness and war crimes committed by the occupying power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; ___________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;&lt;u&gt; 			PGCC Against Military Adventurism&lt;/u&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  		 		 			 		&lt;p&gt; 		  			 			Kuwait&amp;rsquo;s foreign minister said the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council opposes any military action against Iran. &lt;br /&gt; The six-nation PGCC supports Iran&amp;rsquo;s right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, the daily Al-Qabas quoted Mohammad Al-Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah as saying in a meeting with members of the emirate&amp;rsquo;s National Assembly, Presstv reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Israel, backed by the United States, has threatened Iran with military attack if Tehran does not suspend its nuclear activities. Iran has warned that it is prepared for any eventuality, and said that any military aggression against its territory will trigger a major conflict that could suck in the regional states aligned to the US and its dangerous anti-Iran policies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Gen. Jafari: Iran Can Easily Close Hormuz</title>
            <description>The following is an excerpt from an article which can be read in it&#039;s entirety at www.iran-daily.com&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran has developed a high-tech naval weapons system capable of targeting any warship within a range of 300 kilometers from its shores.  A top Iranian commander explained that the weapons system introduces state-of-the-art technology never used before, Presstv reported. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
â��The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps recently tested a naval weapon which is definitely capable of sending any warship within a distance of 300 km to the bottom of the sea,â�� IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad-Ali Jafari said on Monday.</description>

            <title>Iran</title>
            <description>Iran is a very old nation which once ruled the middle east until it&#039;s empire was replaced by that of Alexander the Great.  After that they were a thorn in the side of the Roman and Byzantine Empires for several centuries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then came the conversion to Islam and association with the Shia sect which believes that the one Islamic nation must be ruled by a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.  The one Islamic nation must, therefore, be a state based on Islamic Law, governed by religious leaders and not a secular state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Iranians want what they have wanted for at least the last 4,000 years.  They want to be the regional super power.  They do not want any world class super powers on their borders.  They do not want to be dominated by the Arabs because they themselves are not Arabs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran has a land mass and a population three times that of Iraq.  If they are bombed they will almost certainly retaliate - the test firing of their missles is probably intended to signal that intent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they are invaded it could be very messy.  Iraq developed chemical weapons during their war because the Iranians used human wave assaults to compensate for their lack of air and artillery support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this info is useful.</description>

            <title>We Americans Owe Our Souls to the Company Store</title>
            <description>Judging by the uninspiring and dispassionate campaign launched by the McCain camp, one can conclude that the current regime along with the entire Republican &amp;lsquo;leadership,&amp;rsquo; are completely unconcerned with the outcome of the November election, and with good reason.  Last week, the White House announced that the next administration will inherit roughly, a 500 billion dollar debt.  The question the American people continue to avoid is, to whom do we owe this astronomical sum?  The answer, while ugly, is quite simple.  We owe it to them.  When Georgie W. took over the family business in 2001, he had one and only one goal:  to establish a perpetual source of wealth for his father&amp;rsquo;s friends and the private interests who installed him in office.  Through a campaign of lies, deceit, and propaganda he has achieved his goal.</description>

The catch is timing, because there is 11 1/2 hours difference in time. There will be volunteer interpreters around, in case the other end of the line did not speak English. Let me know if you needed more info&lt;/u&gt;). I will update you on the Bumbershoot event soon.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>H.R. 362: Proposed U.S. Naval Blockade on Iran Amounts to  an Act of War</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TOMORROW AND ASK THEM TO VOTE NO ON THE SABER RATTLING H.R. 362&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The National Intelligence Estimate released Dec. 3, 2007, states that Iran&#039;s nuclear weapons program was halted in 2003. The EU froze the assets of the biggest Iranian bank after Bush visited Britain in June. H.R. 362, introduced in Congress on May 22, 2008, would impose a naval blockade upon Iran which experts say would amount to &amp;quot;an act of war.&amp;quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Here is an excellent summary of what it really means as well as links to more information.&amp;nbsp; Remember don&#039;t expect someone else to stand up for peace.&amp;nbsp; They might very well be counting on you to&amp;nbsp;do that for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/06/29/18512142.php&quot;&gt;http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/06/29/18512142.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Good News for Peace</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;As I&#039;ve mentioned before, I like to read from newspapers all over the world and because I know that the world is controlled by the 1% of the wealthiest, I take the news as it appears in foreign papers and their mainstream media outlets&amp;nbsp;with a large grain of salt as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, it is&amp;nbsp; still an education because at the least we can see what people in other countries are being fed--thus we can then draw our own conclusions in regard to how we think that they are being influenced and guess at expected outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, yesterday I posted a piece from Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, with the story about the Mossud officer who said it would be a mistake to attack Iran and also that Iran did not pose a threat to Israel because of Israel&#039;s extensive anti-missile defense system.&amp;nbsp; I was encouraged by that as it waters down the effects of fear mongering that Iran poses any real threat to Israel--which it does not.&amp;nbsp; Those are lies fed to us by those who stand to economically gain from such a war.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now today I read the following article in the Tehran Times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
