Thank you for admitting that this conspiracy theory is nothing but an

And why are you bringing up this idiocy again? What does it have to do
with the discussion?

And I thought you claimed to no longer be a birther, so why are you
posting this article since it PROVES that you still are a birther?

Jason is also wrong.

The Paula Jones case made the covers of
Time, Newsweek, People and scores of other
"liberal media" magazines. It was even the
source of the Clinton impeachment hearings.

Which Jason will be telling us was also
ignored by every outlet except Fox News.....

It indicated to me that when Obama was in college that he was a fan of
Marxism. I do not mean by that comment that he was a fan of Groucho Marx
or wore Groucho Marx glasses when he was in college.

If you have never seen Ed Schultz's television show--you have not missed
anything. You are better off than I am since when I seen him bad mouthing
a conservative woman that I respected, it caused me to develop nausea.

You are correct. About once a week, O'Reilly has a body language expert
that analyzes various people's body languages when they are speaking in
public. I have learned a lot from her. I can now analyse quite a bit from
people's body language. For example, when Obama looked down when Romney
was talking indicated that he was trying hard to ignore or strongly
disagree with what he was hearing from Romney.

That's correct--if no BLS employees are guilty of doing the dirty

Joseph McCarthy went after communists. He did not concern himself with
issues like unemployment rates.

Once the investigation related to 7.8% figure is finished--perhaps they
may want to explore the issue that you mentioned in your post.

I guess he thinks its fun to annoy people on here.

After all he has said he thinks posting on here is fun.

More fun in fact than reading a book.

"Marxist" or "Marist", which is it?

Perhaps we ought to find out the truth.

Let's just tie down all BLS staff with chains and throw them in
the nearest pond (OK, the Potomac will do). If they drown, they
are clearly innocent and the figures are genuine. If they swim
and live, they must be in league with Obama.

Idea?

Joe McCarthy was a miserable drunk who went after anything he
wanted and who neverb othered to concern himself with the
constitution or the civili rights of the people he persecuted.
Even Torquemada of the Spanish Inquisition was keener on actual
proof than McCarthy. If he were around today, I could have you
and Mary denounced as Communists without needing a shred of
evidence simply on my say-so.

Unlike the other creationists who post to this newsgroup, Jason is
actually likeable. The only concern that I have is that if/when Jason
has the surgery that will restore full blood flow to his brain, his
brain will have atrophied from lack of exercise.

No! It would just be a giant waste of money and a wild goose chase. The
only people who believe this are either anti-Obama racists or paranoid
right-wing nut jobs. Which are you?

Jason, that was sarcasm. I don't believe it for a minute, but it makes

How many times do I have to answer this question? The answer is NO! What
I presented above was sarcasm, in the hope it would make you realize how
foolish your position on this matter is. Obviously, sarcasm is yet one
more thing you don't understand.

That member of Congress is Alan West, who also believes there are 80
communists in Congress. IOW, the man is a nutbar, with only tenuous

No, the person Jason is referring to is Alan West, another Republican
nut. It seems these days the two words are synonomous: Republican and
nut.

Let's see. Today is October 10, two days after Faux reported this
supposed story. Let me check other headlines:

NY Times: Nothing there
Wash Post: Nothing there
Time: Nothing there
Newsweek: Nothing there
Yahoo News: Nothing there
Google News: Nothing there

I guess the consensus is that there is nothing there. Guess you were
lied to by Faux again...

Jeanne, Jeanne, Jeanne. You must know how Jason thinks by now. If he
likes the result (i.e. it makes Obama look bad), then it can't possibly
be wrong. But if the result is something he doesn't like, then there HAS
to be a conspiracy.

Only by paranoid fools like yourself, Jason. Rational people realize
that the figures were correct and are correct. The only people who
object to the figures are those with an agenda-namely that they hate
President Obama and would do anything and tell any lie to get him
defeated in November. And you happily listen to them and agree with
them.

Every article you posted says there was no wrongdoing at the BLS.
Doesn't that tell you something? Remember, these are articles *YOU*

Thank you for expressing my viewpoint so well. Unfortunately, what you
say is true, and this current discussion about the BLS data only
provides evidence supporting your hypothesis.

I just did a little research on John Williams. All he does is predict
death and destruction to our economy. Plus, for every John Williams,
there are hundreds of other economists who disagree with him, including
Nobel Prize winners like Paul Krugman.

That is called guilt by association, and it is not a valid way of
determining, well, anything. You are mirroring the tactics of McCarthy,
and that is not meant as a compliment.

You still have not been able to give one bit of evidence that says Obama
is a socialist. I suspect that will be difficult for you, since you have
proven, over and over again, that you really don't have the faintest
idea of what a socialist is.

Oh yes, your deflection is noted. You ran away from my point that
calling Obama a socialist isn't hate speech, but is a lie.

Why on earth should they? It has absolutely no bearing on who Obama is
today or what he believes. If you had a lick of sense, you would realize
this.

Did you bother to read the article? Somehow I seriously doubt it, since
the whole article shows how the Republican Party has gone completely off
the rails by becoming so conservative.

"Until a few years ago I usually voted for Republicans. But when Barack
Obama became president I realized something had changed. I was inundated
with emails from Republicans who claimed he was a Muslim, a Marxist, and
was born in Kenya. Where was the logic?
If the CIA under Bush, the FBI, Secret Service, the state of Hawaii, and
Hillary Clinton�s and John McCain�s campaign staffers hadn�t come up
with proof of these claims, I knew they were bogus. To my astonishment,
not one Republican leader spoke out against those malicious lies. They�d
sacrificed their integrity to gain extremists� votes."

It only gets worse for you after that.

An opinion piece, which is full of distortions. For example, the author
claims gas prices have doubled under Obama, without mentioning the facts
that: 1) Gas prices were higher near the end of the Bush administration,
before the crash, and 2) The reason prices were so low at the beginning
of the Obama administration was the recession, which severely lowered
demand for oil.

If that is the quality of the best articles you can find supporting your
ideas, then you really should reexamine your ideas. All you have is an
opinion piece of dubious quality. I presented actual data.

Why did you bother to post this. It is just another hit piece with no
supporting data by a right-wing nutbar. Besides, it has nothing to do
with what we were discussing.

Actually Clinton WON the lawsuit.





Paula Jones verdict: insufficient evidence
April 2 1998

It was not a ruling that anyone expected.
More than four years after Paula Jones filed
her sexual harassment suit against President
Bill Clinton, the federal judge Susan Wright
Webber dismissed the case, saying that it did
not meet the legal standard for sexual harassment.

Judge Webber Wright, who was appointed by Republican
president George Bush in 1990, said that while the
allegations were offensive, that did not mean that
the case could stand up in court. In her 39-page
ruling, Judge Webber Wright knocked down each of Mrs
Jones's claims.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1998/clinton_scandal/72796.stm




It was during the appeal that he got tired of
it all and settled out of court. Don't you know
anything about this case?

Sorry, Jason, but you don't get to tell us how the conversation should
go here. Limbaugh is obviously one of your heroes, as you defend him
continuously, despite the proof that he is a liar and, let's face it,
not exactly a paragon of virtue. You are making accusations against Ed
Shultz, who I admit I don't know all that much about, as I only watch
him for a couple minutes at a time every now and then. You claim hatred
from Shultz, but have only been able to provide a single example of this
supposed hatred, for which Shultz apologized and took a leave of
absence. I compared this to the actions of your hero Limbaugh, who shows
real hatred a great deal of the time, and barely apologizes (and only if
it looks as if he will face sanctions for his hate speech), and has
never taken a leave of absence as a result of the hateful things he has
said. Do you understand the comparison yet?

By that standard Paul Ryan was a fan of atheism

Perhaps the question that I was responding to was clipped or deleted. The
birther issue came up again since the movie entitled 2016 OBAMA'S AMERICA
showed information that proved that Obama was the first birther. I googled
OBAMA THE FIRST BIRTHER and got some excellent hits--and yes--I did use
quote marks.

Yes--I do understand. If you have listened to Rush--you probably do
understand that he is not only a conservative talk show host but is also a
entertainer. He has a excellent sense of humor and it's on occassion
difficult to determine if he is joking or trying to be serious. He does
not appear to me to be filled with hate. Rush has no respect for liberal
democrats. Perhaps it does cross the line to hate from time to time.
However, I believe that in most cases--it does not cross the line so
remains at--just disrespect.

The Rutherford Institute defended Paula Jones and I was once a member of
the Rutherford Institute. I still get their newsletter once a month. This
is what they told me about the case:


Key Cases in the History of The Rutherford Institute


In Defense of Women零 Rights in the Workplace
Jones v. Clinton

In 1997, The Rutherford Institute agreed to assist Paula Jones in her
sexual harassment and sex discrimination suit against President Bill
Clinton. What followed was a precedent setting case that received
widespread coverage in the national media. Never before had a president零
sexual misconduct come under such close scrutiny, and Clinton零 videotaped
deposition would be the first time that a sitting president would be
questioned as a defendant in a court case. And, of course, Clinton零 false
testimony about Monica Lewinsky during that deposition would result in
only the second presidential impeachment trial in American history.
Issues

In 1991, while Jones was working at a hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas, she
met then governor Bill Clinton during a conference being held at the
hotel. Clinton later invited Jones to meet privately with him in his hotel
room, where he proceeded to expose himself and make crude sexual advances.
When Jones rebuffed those advances and turned to leave, Clinton stopped
her at the door and said, "You雹e a smart girl. Let零 keep this between
ourselves."

When John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, decided to
help Jones, critics on both the right and the left attacked him. Critics
on the right accused The Rutherford Institute of becoming too "political",
while critics on the left accused The Institute of being part of a "vast
right-wing conspiracy" to destroy the president. Whitehead saw it
differently and said so early on. "Our involvement in Paula Jones零 case
stems from the fundamental principle that no person要ot even the President
of the United States虹s above the law," said Whitehead. "This case is not
about politics. It is about protecting the guiding philosophy of this
country that all people are equal before the law."

In the end, Bill Clinton agreed to pay Jones $850,000 to settle the sexual
harassment and discrimination lawsuit against him, bringing to a
conclusion four long years of seeking justice. The suit raised many
important issues that the American people and their leaders will have to
deal with for years to come, such as the importance of protecting women
from workplace harassment and the role of the rule of law in our highest
offices.

For years, the BLS unemployment rate figures were trusted to be honest
figures that could be relied upon for the official unemployment rate.

It's my guess that in the years to come that those figures will no longer
be trusted as the correct figures but instead figures effected by
political considerations.

Is that what you want to happen?

An excellent investigation could clear them of any wrong doing and faith
in the BLS would be restored.

I have heard several conservatives say that the U6 unemployment rate of
14.7% is more accurate than the BLS unemployment rate.

Perhaps in the years to come there will be about three different
unemployment rates such as the BLS unemployment rate and the U6
unemployment rate and one other one. Is that what you want to happen?

One news report recently indicated that a congress. committee was called
into session to deal with the crisis related to the embassy attacks. The
same report said the rest of the congress was out of session--except for
that one committee. Perhaps the news report had incorrect information.

On another subject, Jason, tell me whether you would support any of the
following principles and why or why not:

(1) economic justice and security in the U.S. and global economies;
(2) civil rights and civil liberties;
(3) global peace and security; and
(4) environmental protection and energy independence.

Why would the liberal news media push this news story? It's still being
covered in a minor way on Fox News and by conservative radio talk show
hosts such as Rush Limbaugh. The upcoming VP debate is now the major
story. The conservatives are saying that Biden will be an attack dog
during the debate. He will probably make a fool of himself such as saying
the middle class has been in crisis mode during the last three years.
Conservatives love it when Biden tells the truth.

But what if the 7.8% figure was effected by politics?

Glenn Beck is calling it the October surprise.

If an investigation does not clear the BLS--that may be the end result.

The U6 unemployment rate may become the trustworthy figure--it's presently
at 14.7 percent.

Lies, Damned Lies and the 7.8% Unemployment Rate

Shadowstats.com Author John Williams wonders if politics are at play
behind the latest jobs report, which shows 114,000 new U.S. jobs since
September and a 0.3% drop in unemployment since August. Investors need to
know how seasonal factors and month-to-month volatility affect the Bureau
of Labor Statistics' reports. In this exclusive interview with The Gold
Report, Williams explains why he doubts that we are in a recovery. The
take-away? Look at the unadjusted figures before you sell your gold.
 
The Gold Report: John, as Mark Twain famously quipped, "There are three
kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) just came out with new jobs numbers that show the country
added 114,000 jobs since September and the unemployment rate dropped to
7.8%, down from 8.1% in August. On Shadowstats.com, you argue that the
numbers are wrong and pointed to politics as a possible reason for the
incorrect figures. Are unemployment statistics being manipulated and if so
how?
 
John Williams: I normally put out a commentary on the numbers, and, in
this one, I raised the possibility of politics as a factor. The problem is
very serious misreporting of the numbers and the result is what appears to
be a bogus unemployment rate. The BLS reported a drop in the unemployment
rate from 8.1% to 7.8%, three-tenths of a percentage point, which runs
counter to what is being experienced in the marketplace.
 
What few people realize is that the headline unemployment rate is
calculated each month using a unique set of seasonal adjustments. The
August unemployment rate, which was 8.1%, was calculated using what BLS
calls a "concurrent seasonal factor adjustment." Each month the agency
recalculates the series to adjust for regular seasonal patterns tied to
the school year or holiday shopping season or whatever is considered
relevant. The next month, it does the same thing using another set of
seasonal factors. Rather than publish a number that's consistent with the
prior month's estimate, it recalculates everything, including the previous
month, but it doesn't publish the revised number from the previous month.
 
The assumption is that the monthly recalculations don't make much
difference over time, but they do. The depth and the protraction of the
current severe economic downturn have thrown off the annual
seasonal-factor adjustments. The result is very volatile seasonal factors
month-to-month. That means the new calculations for the September number
may have resulted in a very significant revision to the August number.
Again, though, the BLS doesn't publish that, so the headline
August-to-September 2012 change in the unemployment rate is not consistent
and not comparable. Last December, when the BLS put the seasonal
adjustments on a consistent basis for the year, as it does once per year,
the November 2011 unemployment rate had just been reported as showing
four-tenths of a percentage point drop‹an unusually large monthly decline
that never took place. When revised to a consistent basis, the drop in
headline November unemployment revised to two-tenths of a percent. That is
a big change. I think something like that happened here.
 
The BLS knows what the actual number is. It has an actual estimate for
August, which is consistent with September, but it doesn't publish it
because it says it "doesn't want to confuse data users." But it is putting
out numbers that have no meaning month-to-month. One month before the
election and a month after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced
Quantitative Easing (QE) 3, is not a time to have inaccurate numbers. The
BLS should publish the consistent numbers now.
 
TGR: You have said that BLS has been using this recalculation method for
years. Do you feel that this month the numbers were more skewed than usual
because of the political timing?
 
JW: Because there is no transparency in the calculation and reporting
process, it leaves open the possibility of manipulation. What has happened
here, though, is that in the wake of the economic collapse, the seasonal
factors have been heavily distorted and are not stable on a month-to-month
basis. Where the concept originally might not have made that much of a
difference, it does make a big difference now. I suspect that is why we
woke up to such a screwy unemployment rate this time around.
 
The 114,000 jobs growth in the payroll survey (which reflects the number
of payroll jobs, counting multiple jobholders more than once) also is
suspect and subject to concurrent-seasonal-factor adjustments. There,
however, the BLS publishes revised estimates for the two prior months that
are on a consistent basis with the headline number. Nonetheless, jobs in
even earlier months are not re-reported, although they too are
recalculated each month, with the effect that jobs reported in earlier
periods can be moved into present reporting, boosting the current numbers,
without the related earlier changes being revised in the published
historical numbers. Nonetheless, the purported 114,000 jobs gain was not
statistically significant.
 
From the household survey, which gives us the unemployment rate and counts
the number of people who are employed (multiple-job holders are counted
but once), the headline gain in employment was 873,000, the largest
seasonally-adjusted monthly increase since Ronald Reagan's first-term.
That number clearly is nonsense and again suggests there is a severe
problem with the seasonal factors.
 
TGR: Do you think the unemployment rate was manipulated on purpose or did
the bad economy just make the reporting more confusing?
 
JW: It could have been manipulated. I do not know and do not have direct
evidence of current political massaging of the data. I know for certain
that there have been direct political manipulations by different
administrations, since the days of President Lyndon Johnson, involving
various data sets that have included the gross domestic product (GDP), the
trade numbers and the employment and unemployment numbers.
 
From what I've seen of the Obama administration, the reporting has been
reasonably clean. Nonetheless, at best, the administration is using
seriously flawed data, and the reporting and calculation process has the
potential for manipulation. The timing of the announcement of such a big
downside swing in unemployment certainly is a fortuitous circumstance for
the administration's political needs.
 
Main Street U.S.A., however, has a much better sense on the economic
reality than do the government's economic statisticians. If the headline
unemployment rate is not as advertised, a goodly portion of the public
will not buy it. Past experience has shown gimmicked reporting often
backfiring on the manipulators.
 
TGR: What is the correct unemployment rate? What would be a reliable data set?
 
JW: I don't know of one. The unemployment rate comes out of government
surveying and data manipulation, and the base number is wrong. What are
good in theory are the un-adjusted numbers, although unemployment
definitions still suffer. Those don't get revised for the seasonal
factors. But there you have regular annual patterns of economic activity,
so you'll see the unemployment rate go up and down as it follows the
normal flow of annual business activity through the various seasons. Even
so, it makes some sense to look at that unadjusted series over time. The
average person doesn't think of himself or herself as employed on a
seasonally adjusted basis, but a lot of people, according to the
government, are so employed.
 
If you surveyed everyone in the country as to whether he or she were
unemployed, you'd get an unemployment rate above 22%, instead of the
headline 7.8%. The difference is in how the government defines whether
someone is unemployed, versus the view from common experience.
 
TGR: What are the ultimate consequences of inaccurate statistics on the
stock market, commodity prices and everyday people?
 
JW: Right now, the impact of the unemployment numbers is mostly political,
although the Federal Reserve has made it part of its targeting in terms of
QE3. But the primary political concerns are on the impact to the upcoming
election, which is what makes the timing of this release so suspect.
 
There is a serious problem with the reporting. If it has been used to
manipulate the public, that eventually will come out. If it hasn't, the
simplest thing is for the BLS just to publish the actual numbers. They
have them. They don't have to do any recalculations. They've already done
that. They just need to publish them in a timely manner.
 
TGR: There seemed to be an impact on the stock market. The Dow ended
Friday up. Was that simply a coincidence?
 
JW: Yes, the market jumped all over the place. But I see no rationale
whatsoever behind the movements in the stock market. Any numbers will be
used to spin a story that will explain what's happening with stocks at a
given point in time.
 
TGR: What about commodity prices? What will this do to gold?
 
JW: You had some sell-off in gold Friday. Again, that could all be spin.
Was it due to people thinking Bernanke was not going to have to ease
monetary policy as much? I'm not into day-to-day calling of the markets.
The stock market is absolutely irrational. You can make up all sorts of
stories based on that. Markets respond to lots of really worthless
information‹the 114,000 gain in payrolls for example is not statistically
meaningful. It could have been a contraction as well as a gain, when the
129,000-job margin of error is considered. Yet, the markets gyrate wildly
over very small changes that have no relationship to what's actually
happening in the economy. I think traders just love to trade. It's like
going to the racetrack and betting on a horse because of how it wiggles
its ears. It has little to do with the underlying fundamentals.
 
TGR: Is there an ultimate consequence of having faulty data? Do incorrect
numbers build on themselves and become more inaccurate over time? Will we
see a jump in the unemployment rate in December when they are recalculated
after the election? Are there other consequences?
 
JW: When governments use bad numbers, and believe them, they don't respond
appropriately to problems like unemployment and inflation. People don't
properly target their investment returns or adjust their income
projections. There are good reasons for having accurate information, but
accurate numbers just are not coming out of the U.S. government at the
moment.
 
TGR: You mentioned the correlation with the announcement of QE3. When we
talked in May, you called QE "dangerous" and said it would eventually lead
to a massive decline in the U.S. dollar, triggering new dollar selling and
lead to dollar inflation, spikes in oil prices and eventually
hyperinflation. Your special commentary on inflation and systemic
conditions comes out next week on ShadowStats. Can we expect any good
news?
 
JW: The outlook hasn't changed. I've been looking at this for a long time.
Let me put it this way: The economy is not suddenly improving. Underlying
fundamentals have not changed. You just are getting bad-quality numbers.
 
The average guy has a pretty good sense of what is going on. When Main
Street suddenly starts getting jobs and businesses pick up, then we will
know the economy is picking up. Shy of that, I'd be wary of anything I
hear out of the government on business activity.
 
TGR: So the reports that we are in a recovery aren't accurate? What
indicators should we be watching?
 
JW: Over time, you will find the better-quality statistics are confirming
that we never had an economic recovery, and that we're not about to get
one. When you have faulty numbers, you need to look at the underlying
fundamentals to see what's happening. The problem is the consumer doesn't
have the liquidity, either from the standpoint of income growth or credit
availability, to sustain positive growth in the GDP.
 
TGR: Thank you for your time, John. We will check in with you periodically
to see if you see any changes in those numbers.

But I don't believe it was a lie.

The people that don't believe he is a socialist are making use of newspeak
and don't even know it.

In general--I would be in favor but would need to see the details about
each issue before I made the final decision.

For example, environmental protection may mean forcing power companies to
spend billions on pollution control equipment. The power companies would
increase each bill by 20% to 30%. In that case, I would be against it
since middle class and poor people can't afford to pay those types of
bills.

I believe they were trustworthy until the last couple of months. I believe
that loyal BLS democrats took some actions to help their hero win the

would have used GIGO data. I am guessing. I don't know if anyone is guilty

Socialism has a very specific definition. You can look it up. By that

are, once again, mistaken. This has been explained to you by me and

Stop lying! Socialism has a very definite definition, and if you compare
Obama's policies to that definition, you will see that they do not
match. Therefore, Obama is not a socialist. For you to continue to say
he is shows either that you are incapable of learning or incapable of
telling the truth. Which is it?
