About EBT cards- a lot of the reason why so many people are on it is the obvious (no jobs, and that’s a FACT)

but that it is no longer a shame to use one. The more mainstream the EBT card becomes, the more you see using them. There USED to be a stigma attached to the old “food stamp” usage. Not anymore! It’s almost de rigeur in some places to have one, in fact I think there is some EBT card envy going on.

I could legally get the EBT card. I am actually poor enough. I won’t get one, and there is a very invasive process one must go through to GET one. For one, the whole biometrics thing creeps me out. They also ask for very personal information concerning all you know, may live with (bad for those with room mates) for those of you considering getting an EBT card, please let us know if you are able to get one without taking the biometric IRIS scan. I know the SNAP program tricks people into giving up information they need not give up, for instance:

social security numbers/names of people you may live with (NOT required, but ASKED for as if it is a requirement, thus tricking people into giving up that info)

give as LEAST information as possible, and see if you are able to get an EBT card and not take the “photo” which is not a photo, but an IRIS scan.

a quick web search for “Salomon Melgen” pulled up some interesting links. From Palm Beach Post dot com:

“Menendez, who has received more than $700,000 in direct and indirect campaign help from Melgen and has made personal trips to the Dominican Republic on Melgen’s private plane, acknowledged last week that his office contacted CMS and “raised concerns” about billing policies in 2009 and 2012. But Menendez denied trying to intervene with government regulators on Melgen’s behalf.” Melgen also sold some kind of data mining tech company “Seisint” to LexisNexis for 775 million, supposedly to help catch terrorists.

The honeypot scheme is an old trick used to help blackmail politicians. I wonder if Menendez DID use Colombian prostitutes. I wonder if those hookers were underage, and if they were all indeed female. That’s an old used trick especially by Mossad types. There’s a lot more to this than just Menendez visiting some hookers in Colombia.

Agreed. Women have no place wearing a uniform, being cops, ordering people around. no I am not a hundred years old, I’m a child of the 80s in fact. Seeing a woman wearing body armour is weird. It’s just so.. masculine. I also read about the unprecedented number of sexual assaults in the armed forces. It SHOULD be men only. I also read a very interesting report by a high ranking member of the US forces that the only time he’s seen a person fall HEAD FIRST down a ladder was a homosexual. He said- and I quote “the gays are the most clumsy, worthless group I’ve ever had the displeasure of leading”. I bet if you ask any member of our military what they honestly think about gay troops you’ll get a similar response. Personally, I am very anti-war period, and I do believe our soldiers were sent to war as a sort of blood sacrifice as some sort of sinister plot. If Israel wants war so badly, send THEIR guys over! Not ours. Our men have been brainwashed into this bizarre untruthful idea that we are being “attacked” and “must fight for democracy” along with other jingoistic buzz words that just don’t make any sense.
