MASS MURDERER’S ARE COWARD’S
and LOSER’S !!
With the recent rise in random Mass Murder Sprees the anarchist feels it is time to
Get
to the root of what is causing these individuals to Pick up a gun and start
shooting.
If
they think there making a statement it is only that they are COWARD’S and
LOSER’S.
A
Real Man does not pick up a gun walk into an office or Public Place and start
shooting.
What
a Real man does is confront Man to Man the person or persons who are bothering
them, and if he can not confront them .
Then he knows it is time to get out of the Kitchen
And
then expose the fools for what they are. The Ink Pen is mightier than any Sword
or Gun .And revenge is Sweet when done with the proper embarrassing twist.
After
all When the anarchist gets revenge it is at a far distance,and the person
receiving it knows exactly were it came from but can never prove it. That’s the
bittersweet twist the anarchist loves about his revenge. Thus the words “Reach
out and Touch some one”
Might
come to mind.
However
with these Murderers there is something very deep rooted going on. Something Is
very wrong inside there brains .There form of revenge is to Kill , Killing is
wrong and forbidden by God ,but these Killers seem completely empty of Gods Presence
.It is like they are Programmed Robot’s
that something has gone wrong in.
Some
blame the Government for using mind control to set off these Killers yet others
Blame Alien life forms .Still others believe that in many cases it is the
medicines they take and counseling they receive for there mental illness that
is setting them off. But The Anarchist believes these killers are getting their
Commands from some one else some one Evil .
And
that is Satan him self, I believe these Individuals are part of the End times
that have been predicted to come they are the first warning of what is to come.
God
could not have created such a man that would do such horrible things. Look into
the eye’s of these killers after they have been arrested . What do you see
nothing more than a
Blank
cold maniac stare . There’s no emotion theirs no body home .Look into the Eyes
of Richard Baumhammers, Ronald Taylor ,Timothy McViegh ,and the latest Coward Michael McDermott all Cowards all Loser’s ,Who want to blame
everyone but themselves for there problems.
The
latest Coward and Loser, it is believed was mad at his employers, because they
were going to garnish his wages to pay back IRS Taxes . No one likes paying
taxes ,but the Lord said “ Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s “ His employer even
held off till after the holidays for him so how did he reward his employer . He
shot 7 innocent Coworkers dead .
No
Normal god fearing person would have done this he would have either arranged to
pay his back taxes or disputed his taxes through the courts.
A
normal Person does not Blow up a federal building when mad at his government he
uses the laws and the courts to make things Right.
This
is why I believe these men are under Satan’s control and the only way to stop
it is to hold onto our faiths, and pray for those individuals to weak to avoid
Satan’s grip.

A LOW VOLTAGE
DOOR BELL CAN
CAUSE A FIRE?
Submitted By: Nick Markowitz Jr.
Fire Investigator
Of all the things one would not think
would be responsible for the cause of electrical based fires
the plain old Door bell would be on that
list but this is but a myth , especially in older homes
with Knob and Tube type wiring.
Door bells originally existed in homes
well before electric power wiring was ever introduced into homes. electric door bells were around when homes
were lighted with natural gas ,it was a very simple system which used dry cell
batteries and a bell that was 3-6 volts ac/dc and a simple button.
and small guage cloth covered wire
However as Electrical power become
available to the home owner the battery powered door bells were then switched
to Alternating current thru means of a small step down transformer
which was either attached directly to
the basement studs or put within a metal box with hinged lid. along with the
transformer was a small Porcelain fuse block with 2 screw in type fuses that
were same size used in the house fuse panel and this is were things started off
on the wrong foot.
Unlike today’s modern doorbells which
have built-in self restoring thermal breakers
the original door bell transformers had
to have a separate fuse in each high voltage leg of 1-2 amps. But typically
what would happen is the cloth wiring to the door bell would disintegrate
The wires would short together and one
of several things happened. The transformer fuse would blowout or the door bell
would latch on and stay on till short was removed or fuse blows.
but instead of most home owners or
handymen replacing the fuse with the correct size typically they would grab a
fuse the used in the main box which would way overload the door bell transformer
system and then when the next time the wires would short out ,the bell would
latch on and stay on to the point that the transformer gets so hot it would
ignite the wooden timber to which it was attached.
Alas most investigators would blame the
fire on the high voltage wiring along the beam, because usually the transformer
completely disintegrates in the fire .If not mounted in a box.
This again is one of the reasons why
point of origin in electrical fires can throw investigators off course and why
Electrical fires are so hard to investigate.
Now just because your in a modern house
with modern transformer does not let you off the hook from a door bell fire
several situations can still and have caused fires.
one is a thermal overload in a modern
transformer failing to operate as designed .
the other is the dangerous practice of
not grounding the transformer and using open splice wiring
instead of wiring the transformer thru a
box knockout.
many times I find transformers wired
with out a box on modern wiring which is illegal by code
but homeowners see the mounting feet on
the transformer and figure they don't need a box which is a dangerous practice
the mounting feet are strictly for using
the transformer on old style Knob and tube wiring. of course all transformers I
have seen have proper wiring and installation instructions but who needs
instructions??
Geez why do I
need to file permits and get training and follow the National Electrical Code
It is only Low
voltage wiring
Submitted
By: Nick Markowitz Jr.
Once
again I have had to break off from doing subcontract electrical or
Security/Fire systems work because the company I was doing work for does not
want to comply with building code laws.
It
seems like an Industry wide practice because only 12/24 volts Dc or AC wiring
is involved with, there is no need to get involved with Following codes the answer is They are Dead wrong.
It
is exactly this lazy attitude which puts life's at risk and your as a
Firefighter at risk every time you step into a burning structure.
All
low voltage wiring comes under the statutes of the NFPA National Electrical
code
and
it is Specifically listed under class types of 1 , 2 and 3 in Article 725
and
800 etc plus it comes under many other areas of various codes.
Unfortunately
if you took a poll of company's who do low voltage wiring you would find less
than 30% even now there suppose to follow NEC and other codes and unfortunately
there work shows every time one of there installers drills a gas pipe or
electric wire or runs the wrong wire
with
its flammable jacket which can put off highly toxic fumes that have been run in
duct work or runs wiring incorrectly
around explosive atmospheres or tries playing Electrician.And studies of the
low voltage industry's (
Cable,Phone,Alarm )shows that education of installers is sorely lacking. In
fact you may be surprised how many are not even High School Graduates.
The
last Company I was working for had a Commercial Sales Rep out there specing out
Fire Alarm
Systems
with absolutely no Idea what the codes are what permits, plan filing etc or what
had to be used.
and
when I submitted the bill for all the stuff she forgot to figure in the bid I
had to install so it would meet code I got nothing but grief.
Seems
many of these company's have no Idea the amount of liability they leave them
selves open to when they do there work. In Particular the Alarm Industry thinks
it has shielded it self from liabilities by making customers sign an Exculpatory
Clause in there contracts(check your own alarm contract its in there) that they
can not be sued even if they Gross negligently install the alarm . and so far
for the most part Courts around the country have allowed these clauses to
stand.A very large mistake in my opinion , I have been at industry events and
heard Alarm company's brag how there suit protected.
just
imagine any other industry or business that you can charge a customer for
thousands of dollars in product put it in
gross negligently and then not be held accountable for it.When it fails
I
do not require my customers to sign an exculpatory clause but then again I try
my best to put all my Integrity into designing and installing there alarm
correctly in the first place. But many Company's figure since they are covered
under the exculpatory clause they can and do get away with any thing they
please.Of course they think I am crazy
because I still do alarm Deals on a gentleman's Hand Shake.
.This even goes as far as required permits
they feel it is the customers responsibility to make sure there are permits
issued not the Alarm company's.Of course some company's gambled and lost it is
now to the point in the industry that small company's like my self can not get
or afford Errors and Omissions or Completed Operations insurance because so
many large judgements have been won against alarm company's. and it is getting
this way with general liability insurance also.In my previous articles I have
pointed out all the wrong things being done by Installers and in Pennsylvania
alone there are many major suits being launched against Alarm company's the
latest to come about is a 2,000,000.00 dollar suit against a large national
company in York pa.
a
couple lost there home even though they put in a sophisticated fire/Security
system .A Fire started and even when the wife hit the manual alarm buttons the
fire alarm had failed to operate.
While
working for this last Alarm company Often times I would call the 911 center to
warn them
that
we were doing a hot test of the fire alarm to make sure the central station was
doing its job
and
the 911 center never got the call and if they did it was 15-20 minutes before
the central station called 911 .I reported this problem thru proper channels
and nothing was done
and
afterwards I started notifying the alarm Owners and Fire marshals to the
problem hoping
enough
preasure would be put on this company to change there practices.
And
once again Im preaching to the choir.

Electrical Safety:
Using Electric heating Cables
By Nick Markowitz
Now that its cold again and old man winter has decided to ice things up,
its time once again to install and turn on electrically-powered heating
cables to de-ice all our favorite winter trouble spots. But before you
decide to plug them in, there are a few steps that you should take to
prevent the many hazards associated with mixing electric and water.
#1: Are your cables UL-Listed and approved for the job, especially if
they are being used outside. U.L Listing insures that the cable you
use has gone through extensive fire tests and that it is properly
designed to for outside use in a wet environment. A U.L. Listing also
assures that the cable you use won't deteriorate and short out
later.
#2: Are you using the correct cable for the job? Heating cables are
usually designed for specific tasks. Some are designed to be used on
roofs while others on pipes. So care must be taken to assure that the
heating cable that you use is applied to the right application.
#3: If your heating cable utilizes a three-prong, grounded plug, is it
plugged into a properly-grounded receptacle? This is important
because some cables use a metal strip which, if the insulation fails,
will allow the hot wire inside the cable to come into contact with
the outside environment. The ground prong removes these harmful
currents and enables the fuse or breaker that provides power to the
circuit to immediately trip.
#4: If you are using heating cables outside, are they plugged into a
GFCI (ground-fault circuit interupter)? GFCIs provide additional
electrical protection. It's also a good idea to use then on the
inside of your home as well (NEC, 1996 Edition requires use of
GFCIs on all resistance heating element branch circuits supplying
electric heating equipment).
GFCIs operate by comparing the amount of current flowing through the
hot wire in the heating cable or power cord to the amount of current
flowing through the neutral wire. If there's an imbalance between the
two values, the GFCI trips the circuit breaker, de-energizing the
electrical circuit. This can occur when a heating cable or power cord
becomes cracked and moisture in the environment causes current to
leak from the hot side of the power circuit to earth ground.
#5: If plugging in an existing cable, always visually check for cracks,
tears, and cracks in the insulation. It may be necessary for you to
replace the cable if you find any. This will prevent moisture from
penetrating the cable sheath and shorting out the wire.
#6: Be sure you have the correct voltage cable and that the outlet you
use will not be over loaded.
#7: If the cable you are using is intended for heating pipes, have you
checked the automatic thermostat for proper operation? This will
save you money if the thermostat is not operating properly. It will
also prevent problems later when the weather turns colder and the
cord is left plugged into a receptacle.
#8: Is the heat cable properly attached to pipe per the manufacture's
instructions? This will save electricity and enhance fire safety by
assuring that the thermostat reads the ambient temperature properly.
#9: When installing a heat cable, make sure the cord does not double over
itself. This will prevent it from burning through the insulation of
the wire that provides it with power.
#10: When installing heat cable inside roof gutters, be sure it's listed
by U.L. for this purpose. While you're at it, make sure there are
no sharp metal edges in the gutters and downspouts that might
penetrate the cable insulation. This can cause a fire or even a
deadly electrical shock.
#11: Never use extension cords with heating cables. This is because using
an undersized extension cord can cause the conductors within it to
heat up and melt the insulation. This will then cause the wires
within the cord to short out and possibly cause a fire.
By following these and other good safety practices you can safely use
heating cables and remove ice safely also a reminder to those fortunate
enough to have side walk and drive way heaters installed with in the cement
if you have the older style high voltage type 120/240 vac grids installed
in your walks and drives make sure to have a ground fault breaker installed
to prevent problems and if any wearing of supply wires or cracks in cement
happen discontinue there use and permanently disconnect them and replace
with low voltage models 12/48 vac

EVEN WITH ALL THE
ADVANCEMENTS MADE IN CIRCUIT BREAKER TECHNOLOGY
A FUSE IS STILL SAFER?
Submitted
By: Nick Markowitz Jr.
Fire

Yes
the lowly Fuse is still superior to Circuit Breakers simple in design it melts
it self-open when there is an overload or short circuit and that’s the end of
the story.
In
fact fuses are still required to be used in the National Electrical Code for
such items as
Large
Motors and other pieces of equipment that have a large short circuit capability
Why
you might ask because
Fuses
and breakers are rated 3 ways the first
is running amps of the circuit the second a fuse is fast acting or timed
delayed to allow high draw devices like motors to start up and third and even
more important rating is the short circuit amps, this is the amount of amperage
Available
when a particular device short circuits. Even a typical simple house circuit
when it short circuits, it has been estimated produces enough energy to light
100 houses for a year in the split second the electrical short circuit is
produced. This high- energy flash
Is
what is responsible for hundreds of deadly accidents each year and many serious
and fatal burns? Individuals suffer from what are known as thermal blasts,
which sear the skin .These blasts are measured in Calorie units because they
are so high in power.
The
average residential breaker is 15/20 amps and has a short circuit rating of
10,000
Amps.
Were the typical short circuit power you will find is 6000 amps or less. Were
you can find Commercial 15/20 amp breakers with ratings up to 45,000 and fuses
up to 300,000 short circuit interrupting amps.
If you improperly design an Residential ,
industrial or commercial circuit and put in the wrong amount of short circuit
protection the fuse or circuit breaker will be destroyed, as it cannot handle
the high short circuit amperage. Even if the main fuse rating is correct.
I
have seen many times were a fuse will blow in a business and the store owner
hires some handyman to come out and correct the situation the handy man pulls
out the fuse on a very large Air-conditioning unit which is marked for fuses
only and he finds a 60 amp fuse no problem he goes down to the local hardware
and gets an of the shelf fuse which is usually only rated at 7000 amps when he
should have bought a time delayed fuse with 100,000 amp protection often
referred to as a type R fuse.
He
puts the off the shelf fuse in starts the unit up and wham there’s a violent
arc of light and the handyman is severely burned.
Now
had the Air conditioning company done its job correctly when they installed the
required fuse disconnect they should have installed the extra kit into the case
which only allows Class R fuses as they should have known the potential for
damage with an under rated fuse but of course they did not and we have an
explosion. Another big problem we are seeing in this country with equipment is
that many machines etc. now use European motor starters and relays designed to
IEC standards, which call for no damage when an overload occurs and require a
class J, fuse not an R, which will cause great damage to equipment. Compared to
NEMA standards, which allow for limited damage to components and specifically
call for Class R fuses. NEMA equipment is built to withstand limited damage, as
IEC is not. Still another problem is when people try to bring home a motor or
machine like a lathe from a shop and try
to run it of residential power.
Many
times again the wrong fuse or breaker is used and when the machine malfunctions
it can be deadly.
As
you can see electrical circuits can be extremely complicated to design and even
more frustrating to investigate. This is why it is crucial that any one
investigating fires have a complete knowledge of electrical systems before
trying to just pass the buck and say faulty wiring caused the problem. Any one
can guess faulty electric caused the fire it is another to get into a court and
have to prove it. Yes electric is often to blame but it should
Based
on solid science not guesses.
EVERY DAY IN WESTERN
PA.
THOUSANDS OF HIGH
TECH WELL PAYING JOBS GO UNFILLED
THE WHY WILL DISGUST
YOU?
You see the above statement holds true not just for W.Pa but
also in any big Rust Belt closed down steel town.
Who is responsible mainly it is the Democratic
Administrations and the Unions plus you can throw in some Real Estate
speculators as well.
But the biggest culprit is Joe 6 Pack
Who is Joe 6 Pack?
He is a mythical but very real individual who lives with in
these rust belt towns. He is the steel worker or
Other hard working factory worker who went to work every day
gave it his all and at the end of his shift
Went to the local bar and downed a few beers and shots of
whiskey with his friends. He raised a family
Voted straight
democratic because of those terrible republicans and is a voracious sports fan.
But of course that’s the myth
You see Joe 6 Pack
was nothing more in many cases than a lazy un-educated stupid follower.
He worked a 40 hour week 20 of which he actually worked
counting paid breaks and lunch and times he went home early on Fridays or came
in late Mondays and never ever ask him to ever do anything more than the
absolute minimum
At his job. He never questioned what he did or why he did
it. He believes everything his union leaders told him and everything the
Democrats tell him. He likes his life because it is all planned out for him he
makes the perfect little communist.
But when Joe 6 Pack lost his overpaid Union Job for ever he
still thinks that some day the mill will come back his union cronies tell him
so, This is why Joe failed to get job training for a job that pays less that is
why Joe stayed on unemployment high-tech or any work was beneath him if it did
not pay what his steel mill job paid.
And of course Joe will not go back to school because he has
been told and has accepted that he is stupid
And will never be able to better him self. Just like I said
the perfect little socialist commie. And the Union Cronies put up road blocks
to companies wanting to come into the area, threatening them if they do not
agree to all there ridiculous demands.
So now that the steel mills are gone you have all of this
property now available, which after it is cleaned up
Has become attractive to high tech companies, and small to
medium manufacturers.
Of course some communities have opened their arms and bent
over back wards to get these companies to come others have not. Other communities have put every roadblock
they can to keep businesses out especially if they’re foreign owned. You just
have to look at Braddock Pa. to see the continual discrimination that goes on
every time a minority business wants to set up.
Then you have the Real Estate Developers who deliberately
buy up and leave certain towns and property’s to keep them derelict so that
they can steer buyers to there more choice property’s and of course if Joe 6
Pack gets any Ideas of complaining an Arsonist in a community has a way of
shutting them up.
You can see this all over the place were one town has a big
new shopping complex the old part of town has been deliberately neglected on
the other side of the tracks and building and code enforcement officials do
nothing but throw up obstacles, when some one wants to fix up an old property.
But then after an employer manages to get past all the
obstacles and tries to go out and get skilled workers in these towns he often
has to go outside the area to fill them because too many of the Joe 6 packs
will not take the jobs as they have it good and do not want to get training.
So an employer comes to find out the whole myth about a
skilled hard working work force has been nothing but a lie he closes up shop
and moves to a more business friendly climate and Joe 6 pack and all the
cronies who control his life do nothing but cry to the government and raise
taxes because they can not get any help or good paying jobs. Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Reading, and
Allentown they’re all the same.
As long as you have narrow minded Neanderthal politicians
and all their cronies these towns and cities will continue to be the shit pits
they have become.
Fire works and Common Sense
Some times the 2 do not go

Fire

I
was recently on my way back home from the Radio station were I was doing some
Engineering tests when we decided to stop along the way at a bargain store.
Walking thru the Bargain Store in Westmoreland County along Pa. Route 380 with
a friend who helps at the station who is also a volunteer fireman when we came
across a very large amount of displayed Pa. Legal fireworks, Party Popper’s,
Sparklers smoke balls etc. aprox. 55 large cardboard cases worth.
The
problem was that first the building is combustible construction with no sprinklers and this particular area
that was set up was the connection point of 3 buildings, which also served as
an exit way for all three structures. Additionally in the building next store
were over 500 gallons of paint and other combustible chemicals including small
tires for mowers etc.
I
mentioned to the proprietor it was not such a good idea storing that many
fireworks out in the open and the exit blocked and I was told to mind my own
business .He fully complied with the codes in the area.
Wrong
thing to say to me I immediately went to nearest fire/medic station and filed a
compliant with the local fire chief since it was a Saturday and the code
enforcement officer was not available. He said he would look into the situation
I called the Code Officer on that Monday to be told he was never informed and
to leave a full complaint on the other inspectors voice mail obviously he could
not be concerned.
I
went back on Wednesday to still find all the items on display a large fire
burning outside the back of the building where they were discarding of old
boxes etc which was putting embers into the air. and only part of the lights
were on they were running the store by gasoline generator with no emergency
back up lights available as they had already been exhausted the place went
black for a minute while I was in the store luckily I always carry a mini mag
so I was able to see were I was going. I once again called the code enforcement
officers and was ignored and I promptly filed a complaint with Labor and
industry because the inspectors were not doing their job. Luckily no one got
hurt because of those who could care less about public safety including the
store owner and code enforcement officers But in the late 90’s in south eastern Ohio a mentally impaired young man
walked into a crowded store full of fire works lit one off and placed it into
the other fire works as a result 9 people were dead and scores seriously burned
and injured this exact scenario could have just as easily been played out at
this store .As a result of that disaster many codes have been updated all over
the country . Pa. UCC Codes require fire
works being sold in businesses to be in a display case were a clerk has to hand
them to a customer who is of legal age 18 to buy them. No smoking signs must be
posted and a water-based extinghuisher must be near by the display. Any excess
fireworks must either be stored in a fully sprinkled warehouse type building or
stored outside the building and secured.
None
of which the above store was doing and was clearly pointed out to the code
enforcement officer. Meanwhile later that evening after dropping off my
friend and running a service call to a customer . While I was on my way home
there was a merchant selling fireworks out of the back of a large rental truck
in a parking lot of a small shopping center. The truck was in Penn Hills where
I know the Fire Marshal had sent notice out to all fire stations and police
about fireworks policies. I called the Fire Marshal on his cell phone which I
was lucky enough to have the number for and explained the situation to him he
asked me to stand by incase they moved from area so I could give him details.
So while waiting for The Fire Marshal to arrive I walked into the local ice
cream store next door for an ice cream cone since it was a hot July Saturday
evening and behind the counter were even
more fire works they were selling.
Mr.
Mason arrived several minutes later and in a professional manor had the
businessman shut down his sales outside and on the side walk and sell only from
inside the variety store he owns in the center which had secured the proper
permits and was following codes and precautions. He then walked over to the ice
cream store advised them of the law and had them remove the fireworks from
there store which they returned to the gentleman selling them in the parking
lot. Talk about all in the family.
Case
was closed and no one was hurt. That same weekend I heard thru the great vine
Pittsburgh Fireworks Task force had taken down several illegal vendors as well
were fire works are extremely restricted. To party poppers and toy gun caps
your not even allowed sparklers.
So
one community does it right the other does not how would you like to have been
shopping in a store with boxes of fireworks illegally displayed so any one
could walk in flick a match or cigarette in a box and destroy the store with
you in it.
Fireworks
can be a safe and fun way to celebrate but it has to be done so properly
If
you are a fireman and observe illegal fireworks sales or storage activities
notify your chief officer and demand code enforcement or your chief who has the
authority to have them removed with help of the police. If they will do nothing
notify your county or state Police Fire Marshals Unit.
You
just might help prevent the next big unintended fireworks disaster.

shift has ended for the day employees come in and use high- pressure water
hoses to sanitize the entire plant. In this type of atmosphere it requires that
all equipment be watertight
To
withstand accidental wash down.
Accidental
being the keyword.
Unfortunately
in this plant some knuckleheads thought it would be funny to hose down the pull
stations horn/strobes Voice Evac Horns etc. to make the Fire Alarm go off.
So
they would be paid while waiting to go back to work.
And
in the process they have destroyed numerous pieces of equipment over the years
putting them and their fellow employees in serious jeopardy if there was an
emergency
In
the plant were employees needed to be evacuated due to a Fire a massive Freon,
Ammonia or CO2 leak Boiler explosion etc.
The
workers are unionized so they go about with impunity doing damage because the
union always will always get them out of trouble or so they think.
After
several people have been demoted and or fired it seems the Knuckle –Heads have
not learned.
So
it was time to get tough when employees will not comply with orders in the case
of Fire Alarms being damaged I made it clear to the employees that they could
be arrested and have Felony Charges of Risking a Catastrophe Filed against them
which means they could never again work in the plant as federal laws for meat
packing plants forbids hiring felons Additionally they could now face Federal
charges as well under the Patriot Act
Of the Federal home land Defense Department.
Because Meat Packing plants, water treatment and various utility sites Radio
and TV stations etc all come under the act as essential businesses and
particularly Meat packing plants with the chance of terrorists trying to tamper
with products.
When
a US Marshal comes in and arrests one of them the games will be over.
But
we will see just how far the clowns are going to push their luck.
At
this point the plant is considering Undercover operations to ferret out who is
doing what and having them removed. But Tampering with alarm equipment just
does not go on in this plant it is a rampant problem all over and until
Criminal enforcement is meaningfully applied it is going to keep gong on.
Whatever perverse fun those who would vandalize life safety equipment get it is
a serious problem that needs to be stopped permanently. In these days with all
the warnings and scares with terrorism after 9-11 we do not need
These
types of clowns in society and prison is were they belong.
Having
problems with clowns in your jurisdiction then work closely with the AHJ and
police in your community and start cracking down after a couple of people get
busted the word will spread like wild fire.

THE FRIDAY THE 13TH
ANARCHIST REPORT
UNDERCOVER:
THE GAY AGENDA
The
Anarchists Grandfather a Anarchist in his own right often said about fagots
line them up against the wall and shoot them.
While
I have never taken such views so strongly I have basically felt when it came to
working with gay men and women don't tell ,don't touch don't bother me I will not bother you.
How
ever I got the eye opening experience several weeks ago when I was asked by
a strange but harmless friend of
mine to help him set up his fetish booth
at an event called Pennsylvania Mr.Drummer and Drummer boy .He needed his
lighting and phone line for fax installed and security for his booth.
Now
my friend sells all this fantasy leather and rubber clothing along with paddles
,whips harness's restraints etc to help couples live out there erotic sexual fantasy's.
how
ever on this particular evening the Leather bar in Pittsburgh was packed with
Gay guys and Gals. and they were wearing every type of disgusting leather outfit you could think of with ass cheeks
hanging out along with genitals along with T shirts
with disgusting terrible messages.and leather cop and security guard outfits and
Lesbians dressed as Boyscout s and diesel dykes dressed in jeans and t shirts
with there cigarettes rolled up in there sleeves they looked like guys from the
rear. and Sin and Debauchery everywhere
and before during and after the event guys
kissing each other and hugging and feeling each others genitals.
Needless
to say when I got home i took my clothes off and burned them and took a long
hot soapy shower.
After
seeing what I saw i will never ever again were a leather jacket.
Now
none of the guys or gals made a pass at me as they new the vendors were
straight.
I
never did get the meaning behind what drummer stands for but it has something
to do with Leather
The
program started off with a transvestite in a red, white and blue dress singing the national anthem while an American
Flag was unfurled unlike the gay guys only us straight guys took off our hats
and put our hands over our hearts .gay event or not they were respecting the
flag.
and
all in the audience should have also done so. guess they don't know how lucky
they are they can live the gay lifestyle in this country recently in Iran 6 gay
cross dressers were ordered to receive 200 lashes each and 20 years in prison
for moral turpitude.
After
the flag display they introduced the judging panel which were former and
current drummer winners all dressed in leather along with a gay women known as
the tally mistress for the event.
then
the 3 Drummer boys and 3 Drummer men were introduced each giving statements as
to why they wanted to be a drummer.
The
Drummer boys who looked to be under 24
refer to the older drummers a there Daddy's who they often live with and
there daddy's help introduce them into the gay leather lifestyle.
mean
while, while I was providing security at my friends booth a gay male couple were ogling over all the
display items. the slave in the relationship took off his leather vest to
reveal a leather harness which went all the way down and around his genitals.
his master struck him with several different whips on display until they decided
on one both master and slave liked. they then kissed and embraced each other as
my friend ran there Visa Card.
I
was about ready to go outside and puke.
next
in the concert each Drummer contestant came out with something to auction to
the crowd the proceeds going to the gay and lesbian task force. Drummer boy 1
had a basket filled with paddles and whips and a video "Dungeon Slave
Boy" number 2# auctioned off a Ball stretcher and Cock ring which he was wearing and was visible to the crowd the
cock ring was a 2" metal ring that went around the genitals that attached
to the ball stretcher that went around the testicles and hung down on them.
quite painful it appeared . the winning bidder got to come up on stage and
remove the items from the boy. Disgusting. how this place keeps its liquor license I would like to know any were else in Pa. it would have been revoked
the club raided busted and shut down. the 3rd boy a young black male had on a
studded leather belt to auction again the high bidder got to come up on stage
and remove it then the usual hug and kiss.
The
men came out next Drummer one auctioned off a full leather harness again the
bidder got to take it off. drummer 2# had on a leather thong that was taken off
on stage along with drummer 3#
Then
some entertainment several different lesbians came out on stage dressed
like Cher
lip sinking
her songs actually they were very good entertainers.
Next
the most disgusting part of the contest the drummers had to act out on stage
there most erotic leather fantasy's
boy
1# fantasized about being abducted and tied in a dungeon and having his
genitals tortured
all
carried out onstage ( at this point i could look no more I went out to the lot
were it was being broadcast over speakers. )
Boy
2 #fantasizes about being abducted by 2 gay guys and has a threesome on stage.
boy 3#
has
a fantasy about breaking into a sacred temple and is whipped and beaten as he
attempts to claim the treasure.
then
come the drummer men, Drummer man1# fantasies about being a cop dressed all in
leather cop outfit in the bad side of
town he is patrolling Hells Alley east when he comes across a greasy
Politician he busts playing 3 card Monty he rolls the guy to the ground and proceeds to
rape and sodomize him on stage to teach him a lesson never to come back to the
alley. man2# fantasies of finding a leather boy and gagging and tying him to
his Harley and again a rape scenario.
I
left the lot to go puke. I will not even describe contestant 3#
My
friend tells me they then had all the contestants come out in Leather jock
straps and harnesses to show off there body's and butts.
after
the judges Talley there votes and the awards were given out a Dungeon Party
was held all night in the lower bar section with everything you would expect to
find in a dungeon I was told.
The
gays don't have an agenda , and are all well meaning citizens who wouldn't hurt
no one.
RIGHT?
And
to make matters worse the whole time this contest is going on 2 City of
Pittsburgh cops off duty but working in Uniform are with in sight and sound of
the whole thing.
WHY WE NEED TO BE KEEPING A
CLOSER EYE ON GROUP HOME INSPECTIONS
A CASE STUDY WHEN A STATE
MENTAL INSTITUTION
IS FORCED TO CLOSE
Submitted
By: Nick Markowitz
In
southwest Pennsylvania there has been a State Institution for Severely Mentally retarded Youths known as
Western Center . As much as I do not like seeing people institutionalized
I
feel the current situation in this end of the state will ultimately result in
needless injury and deaths
of
patients who thru a Lawsuit filed by a Disabilities Rights group is closing
Western center after
alleging
abuse went on there.
But
the group home alternative there giving these patients is the wrong thing to
do.
And
as usual Im right in the middle of the whole thing.
So
heres my story.
I
was hired as a sub contractor by a local alarm company who is a dealer for one
of the country's largest
Fire
and security Company's
As
such I expected this job to go off with out a hitch with no problems to worry
about.
was
I wrong.
The
first day I arrive at this residence in a wealthy Washington County suburb which is to be converted to a group home to
Install
a Commercial fire Alarm and Emergency and exit lighting
I
am met by a home employee who advises me that do to hostility by the neighbor's to
keep a low profile .and keep all doors locked.
I
ask all permits etc. have been filed for this work and i am told no .
I
call the contractor i am working for and he advises me the company running the
group home has signed a letter stating they would get all required permits
I proceed with the job and 2 hours into
the job my helper receives a head wound off of a improperly installed light
fixture which one of the group home employees did not put the edge guards on to
stop this exact kind of accident when he went to go up in the ceiling to fish
wires my helper will
require
10 stitches at the local hospital I call 911 an ambulance is dispatched who
stops the bleeding enough I can take my helper to the hospital.
I
call the contractor i am working for to advise of the accident and get chastised
for calling for the ambulance. Too Bad I tell him its my call as a Fireman with
advanced First aid training I will not play around with a head injury .
The
next 2 days I work by myself and On the 3rd day my helper comes back after
starting the job I realize the plans as drawn by the designer are flawed and I
make several changes to bring the system to code it is when we start to hook
the fire panel into the house wiring system that the
problems
with wiring in the house start to rear there head although the original house
wiring was correct the previous home owner did everything you could do wrong
with wiring
and
the group home operator installed a suspended ceiling in the basement in the
home to cover up all the violations when I inform them as to the violations I am
told they are existing and will not be corrected. I advise them they have to
be corrected again I get grief.
I Finnish my work again I ask were the permits are again they have not been filed
for.and i am told they wont be.At this point I have the responsibility as a
professional electrician and as required by state law to notify the township
code enforcement as to whats going on in this group home . they upon hearing
from me are shocked to find out what has been going on here.
all
the work done at the home was never applied for the township demands violations be corrected and permits
filed.
and
at this point I no longer sub contract for this alarm contractor.I will not
work with contractors trying to pull shady deals. It ends up I started getting
phone calls from parents of children who
are
going into these homes after the whole thing made the local papers and I will
be testifying at hearings being held to stop the shifting of these children to
less than reliable group homes.
I
question the whole group home setup in the first place.
for
the following reasons.
At western center there was a staff doctor and
nurses on duty at all times, aides assisting children were highly trained well
paid professionals who can handle a violent youth episode and a hospital is 5
minutes away and western center is well constructed and fire resistant
group
homes use untrained staff .are located 20-30 minutes from a hospital are not
well constructed like western center , what if one of the patients gets violent
or starts starts choking
the
2 staffers on duty are unlikely to handle the situation properly or could be outnumbered
or
attacked to the point Police
intervention will be needed . also there are not the precautions
taken
to prevent runaway patients as they have at western center.
I
agree group homes serve a purpose but not in this situation.
High Risk Money
Handling Business protected by an alarm system
Not worth 3 cents ?
By
Nick Markowitz Jr.
I
due work occasionally for a national servicing alarm company and I recently did
a conversion system for them at a store which handles large amounts of cash in a
run down area of Pittsburgh.
What
I expected to find from the previous security system was a well installed
system similar to what you would find in a bank.
I
arrived and after clearing the security doors etc I was shown the Burglar alarm
system
Which
at first glance although it was older looked fairly formidable. It was
installed by
A
Pittsburgh Based company which now also offers national
account services for big box chains.
A
Radionics 8112D panel a grade A - Ademco Bell and a Potter Safe Unit all in
conduit as required by UL But that’s
were the protection stopped.
I
opened the panel up by taking 2 screws out there was no required key lock and
no tamper switches or sheet metal attack switch as would be required on a high
security install. Then I found batteries which were last serviced in 1995 and
its 2005 they are 5 years past what they should have been for servicing and
this is what was causing the false alarm every time power went out as none of
the batteries including the main panel the aux Altronix power supply nor the
Potter unit had current fresh batteries.
Then
to make matters worse all of the end of
line resistors were in the panel and not out side protecting the wiring.
This
means there was no protection against shorting any of the wires including the
grade A bell which is specifically designed to detect a shorted liner attack if
some one drills into it. There was also no motion protecting the equiptment. As
well.
Then
to make matters worse the wireless linear panic pendant the manager wears
around her neck would never had worked because the installer put the receiver
inside a metal can.
Something
Linear clearly says in there instructions not to do.
Then
when I went to take the Potter safe unit apart I found that the wire from the
control unit to the safe was not in flexible conduit or of the type which has a
grounded shield in it that detects a ground or short.
The
only thing going which would save this install from a burglary attack was the
Derived channel supervised connection.
And any simple maneuver by a burglar could have defeated the system and no
signal would have been sent unless the burglar cut the phone lines first .Then
while talking with the manager while she was on a break she said how clean and professional my work
was and how the other companys technicians were a bunch of ignorant slobs who
never cleaned up after them selves and treated them very rudely and like they
were stupid.
Unfortunately
this is a case of Ghetto alarm install and service work the stores in the
ghettos so any thing goes and no one gives a damm about any one.
This
is a very bad and racist attitude any installer gives when they work in run
down area and do not treat there customers with professional service and
dignity .But all to often I hear it and see it from installers, and if this is
how they treat one of there national accounts how are they treating every one
else. Then again that’s probably why they lost the contract for service with
this national chain of stores.
