We are merely human beings



Kita Hamba by Raihan

We are merely human beings, granted this gift of life, not for eternity,
We are merely human beings, in reality, servants of Allah.

But why we, keep on postponing, always delaying, when the time has come to prostrate before Him?
But why we, ever too busy and keep on forgetting, the duties that we have as servants of Allah?

We are merely human beings, granted this gift of life, not for eternity,
We are merely human beings, in reality, servants of Allah.

But why we, keep on forgetting, always delaying, the duties that we have, as servants of Allah?

And as for our Lord, never He forgets to keep on blessing us, the beauties of this life,
Always willingly, to forgive and forget of all the hideous things, that we did there before Him.

For those who realise and repent and cleanse themselves of sins.

Even if you don't know Malay, the rhythm will get to U. Music is a universal language after all. Just like the Koran, listen to it, especially recited by Saad Al Ghamidi. It's the most beautiful song you will ever listen to. Trust me. Don't just read the translations. The actual beauty is not there.

The Remedy of the heart

Tombo Ati/Ubat Hati by Opick

Part Javanese, Part Malay, All truth..


To remedy the heart,
There are five things that you have to do.

The first one is to always read the Koran and its meaning,
The second one is to get up alone in the silence of the night and pray,
The third one is to always be with the pious and the good,
The forth one is to fast as many as you can,
The fifth one is chanting the names of God at night as a lullaby,

If anyone could do either one, hopefully,the Lord, Allah is enough for him in this world.

Enough for me is my Lord

Cukup Bagiku by Opick

Please fill my soul with just one craving, craving for Your blessings in this life,
Although I am not worthy of the slightest dust of Your love,
No matter how I sit there in humility in front of You,

Enough for me is my Lord, Allah.
All that I need in my life,
My heart is being fill with everything about Allah,
To the beloved prophet Muhammad, all blessings from Allah is upon him,

There is no God but Allah. Enough for me is my Lord, Allah.

Enough for me, 2x Allah

Hasbi rabbi ja lallah
Ma fi qalbi il lallah
A lal hadi sallallah
La ila ha illallah

Please fill my soul with just one craving, craving for Your blessings in this life
Although I am not worthy of the slightest dust of Your love,
No matter how I sit there in humility in front of You,

Enough for me, Allah,
All I need, Allah

Treason at the Highest Levels
of the American Government

A new Israeli Spy Scandal

Broadcast of August 29, 2004 by David Duke at davidduke.com

Those of us who are aware of the overweening power of the Jewish supremacists over the American government sometimes forget that there are still a few brave men and women within the U.S. government who still believe that a foreign power, Israel, or any other country has no right to commit espionage against the United States and steal our most guarded secrets. Some still believe that the interests of the people of the United States should not be sacrificed to Israel or any other nation. And surprisingly, there are even a few intrepid souls in the media who really believe that the press has a responsibility to report the truth no matter where it falls.

Because of the courage of these individuals we learn of one more act of Zionist treachery against the United States. It is readily acknowledged that the most powerful lobby in the American Congress is AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It should be shocking for most Americans to think that the most powerful political force within the government of the United States is one that acts in the interests of a foreign government, but that is precisely what AIPAC does. It has doled out hundreds of millions of dollars to elected officials and has tremendous influence in political circles, and of course, it has a dramatic influence among many Zionist media bosses. It can easily cause a politician to be favored or besmirched by powerful media outlets. But although they have supremacy over our media, they don’t yet have the total control they seek. Some things escape through the cracks of their power.

Some very brave men in the FBI have investigated and exposed a new Israeli spy scandal that reaches high up into the American intelligence community. Not since the arrest and conviction of Israeli spy, Jonathan Pollard, has the public learned of an Israeli spy case that can expose Israeli treachery. This current case can reveal the nefarious activities of those in the America government who commit treasonous crimes in putting Israel’s interests over America’s vital interests. As my previous broadcasts have detailed, in the wake of 911 a huge Israeli spy ring of over 100 operatives was apprehended in the United States by the FBI. Members of the Israeli Mossad were arrested after they had filmed and cheered the horrendous 911 attacks on the WTC. They were caught with fake passports, huge sums of cash and box cutters!

A report from a U.S. government, DEA official showed that five members of the Mossad had closely monitored the 911 hijacker leader, Mohammed Atta, in the weeks before the attack and had lived on his same street in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Much of this was revealed by a Fox News report by Brit Hume in December of 2001.

Hume’s report also showed that an Israeli firm funded by the Mossad was actually given the contract to do U.S. government wiretaps! Imagine a foreign firm with ties to a foreign government put in charge of doing wiretaps for the U.S. Government in the United States! I know that it sounds insane to think that a foreign firm would be put in charge of domestic American wiretaps, especially when one considers that the nation in question, Israel, has a long record of espionage against the United States, such as the Jonathan Pollard case. But it’s crazily true and is a perfect example of the incredible influence the Zionists have in the American government.

I know that all this may seem hard to believe for those who are only now learning of it, but what I say can be easily confirmed by anyone willing to check out the sources. And those sources are not some crank rightwing or leftwing scribblers somewhere, but are from major media such as the NY Times, CNN, AP, Fox News Network, the Washington Post and many others.

After the release of the Brit Hume report, the Israelis were even able to get Fox news to pull the transcripts of the program from the Fox News internet archives for a while! What should have been a major scandal in the major media became smothered by silence.

The head of the Terrorism task force in the U.S. Justice Department, the Likud-Zionist Michael Chertoff, quietly released the Israeli Mossad agents and let them return to Israel out of the reach of U.S. Government, 911 investigators. Chertoff, by the way, was the same high Justice Department official who authorized my federal prosecution 30 days after my appearance in November 2002 on the Al Jazeera satellite network. On that program I exposed the Israeli spy ring in the wake of 911, and the role of Israeli agents in fomenting the coming Iraq War.

And now we have a new Israeli scandal emerging because of a few FBI agents who still believe in the sovereignty of the United States and who have the guts to defend America from a foreign government committing espionage against us. It takes a lot of courage for them to do this as Brit Hume on Fox pointed out so poignantly: I quote directly from Carl Cameron on the Brit Hume program in speaking about Converse the Israeli firm providing equipment for domestic wiretaps:

“CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The company is Comverse Infosys, a subsidiary of an Israeli-run private telecommunications firm, with offices throughout the U.S. It provides wiretapping equipment for law enforcement. …�?

“Congress insists the equipment it installs is secure. But the complaint about this system is that the wiretap computer programs made by Comverse have, in effect, a back door through which wiretaps themselves can be intercepted by unauthorized parties.�?

“Adding to the suspicions is the fact that in Israel, Comverse works closely with the Israeli government, and under special programs, gets reimbursed for up to 50 percent of its research and development costs by the Israeli Ministry of Industry and Trade. But investigators within the DEA, INS and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying through Comverse is considered career suicide.�?

Even some of the news reports of the new Israeli spy scandal reveal the power the Zionists have to suppress prosecution of Israeli espionage against America. This is from a New York Times’ article on August 28, 2004. I quote:

… American counterintelligence officials say that Israeli espionage cases are difficult to investigate, because they involve an important ally that enjoys broad political influence in Washington. Several officials said that a number of espionage investigations involving Israel had been dropped or suppressed in the past in the face of political pressure. The last major Israeli spy case to become public involved Jonathan Pollard, a Naval intelligence analyst who was arrested in 1985 for passing large volumes of classified material to his Israeli intelligence handlers. He was sentenced to life in prison, and over the years, Israeli officials have lobbied American presidents to try to win his release.

Now let me quote from the Article dealing with this new spy scandal. This case has the potential to be far more important than the Pollard Case, as it involves a high-ranking government official who could have “quote, effected American policy on Iraq and Iran.�? Here are some excerpts from the article,

Pentagon Official Suspected of Giving U.S. Secrets to Israel

By JAMES RISEN

NY Times Published: August 28, 2004

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 – The F.B.I. is investigating a Pentagon official on suspicion of passing secrets to Israel, government officials said Friday.

The espionage investigation has focused on an official who works in the office of Douglas Feith, the under secretary of defense for policy, officials who have been briefed about the investigation said. The F.B.I. has gathered evidence that the official passed classified policy documents to officials at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a major pro-Israeli lobbying group, which in turn provided the information to Israeli intelligence, the officials said.

The bureau has evidence that the Pentagon official has given the Israelis a sensitive report about American policy toward Iran, along with other materials, the officials said…

The F.B.I. inquiry has been under way for at least a year and has been one of the bureau’s most sensitive spy cases in years, officials said. One official said that the suspected involvement of people working at a major pro-Israeli lobbying organization led the Justice Department to move cautiously.

The fact that the official under investigation works for Mr. Feith has also made the case politically sensitive for the Bush administration.

Before the war in Iraq, Mr. Feith created a special intelligence unit that sought to build a case for Iraq’s ties to Al Qaeda, an effort that has since been heavily criticized by American intelligence professionals as an effort to justify the war.

Mr. Feith has also long been known as a major supporter of Israel, and while he was out of government in 1996 signed a paper, titled “A Clean Break,” issued by a Jerusalem-based policy group that called for the toppling of Saddam Hussein in order to enhance Israeli security. Before he came to the Pentagon, Mr. Feith was also a partner in a law firm with L. Marc Zell, a lawyer with a firm now based in Israel.

And here is a direct quote from CNN on August 27, 2004:

FBI looks at Pentagon worker in Israel spy probe

Report: Suspect has ties to Wolfowitz, Feith

Friday, August 27, 2004 Posted: 11:10 PM EDT (0310 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) — The FBI has evidence that a person who has been working at high levels in the Pentagon may be a spy for Israel, senior U.S. officials confirmed to CNN on Friday.

The suspect could have been in a position to influence Bush administration policy toward Iran and Iraq, the senior official said.

So, as I have been saying from long before the Iraq War began, it was a war for Israel not America, a war orchestrated by Israeli partisans for Israel’s benefit and to the irreparable harm to America. It has resulted in the loss of hundreds of billions of American dollars, thousands of Americans maimed, hundreds dead, families harmed by long separations, rising hatred against America, the highest oil prices in history and that damage against the economic well-being of every American. American business overseas has been damaged and Americans are now in danger all over the world, that’s the real results of this insane Jewish war! And in reality, we have already lost this war, because now there are clearly more enemies of America in Iraq today than before the war started and we have the very likely scenario that forces will come to power in Iraq which will support the terrorists who want to strike at America, whereas, Saddam Hussein never supported terrorism against America!

As I showed in my last broadcast, we now know that Israel and Israeli agents even manufactured the false intelligence that was used to justify the war in the first place. And now, as CNN reports, the suspected Israeli espionage suspect quote “could have been in a position to influence Bush administration policy toward Iran and Iraq.�?

That is the fact of the matter. Israeli agents such as Wolfowitz and Perle, Feith and the rest have been the source of this terrible, terrible war, a war for Israel, a war against the most vital interests of the United States of America! And let’s not forget the complicity of a press where Zionists have tremendous ownership and influence, they brought on this war, they aided and abetted the lies of the Jewish supremacists, they beat the drums of war.

And we have the most powerful lobbying organization in the United States of America, AIPAC, being shown as involved in espionage against the United States of America. The same organization that gives hundreds of millions of dollars to elected American officials. This should be the scandal of the century one that far should eclipse the Watergate or Monica Lewinsky affairs. But, I will predict that there will be major efforts to suppress the investigation, to stop any serious charges from being filed, and to quietly suppress this important story in the coming days.

One thing is sure, I won’t be silent about it!

And I hope you won’t either.

Please take a moment and email this article to every friend in your email address and to post it on as many internet forums as you can around the world. You can make a difference in getting the truth out! I won’t be silent, no matter what the personal cost, but I need your help and support! Help me get this vital information out!

This has been David Duke and these are a few of my latest thoughts.

Porn: According to a Jewish Professor

Jewish Professor of American History at Aberdeen University in UK, Prof. Nathan Abrams. He boasts that Jews were the driving force of the modern pornographic industry and that their motivation is in part to destroy Gentile morals.

Jewish Professor Says Porn Industry is a Weapon used by Jews Against Gentiles

The following is an excerpt from one of the new additions to my book, Jewish Supremacism. It offers more powerful evidence that reveals the Jewish extremist war against Gentiles, a struggle that we Gentiles are not even allowed to know about, much less resist. The new edition of Jewish Supremacism will be available for purchase in about three weeks at www.davidduke.com

From the new 2007 Edition of Jewish Supremacism by David Duke

After learning about the inordinate Jewish involvement in organized crime, historical slavery and modern white slavery, it did not surprise me when I began to learn of their domination of pornography. Just as Jewish scholars faithfully recorded the Jewish domination of the African slave trade so they have also documented their prominent role in pornography.

In a respected and scholarly magazine of Jewish intellectuals, (The Jewish Quarterly, winter 2004) Jewish professor Nathan Abrams in an article titled, “Triple Exthnics,” proudly documents the leading role of Gentile-hating Jews in pornography.

A story little told is that of Jews in Hollywood’s seedier cousin, the adult film industry. Perhaps we’d prefer that the ‘triple exthnics’ didn’t exist, but there’s no getting away from the fact that secular Jews played (and still continue to play) a disproportionate role throughout the adult film industry in America. Jewish involvement in pornography has a long history in the United States, as Jews have helped transform a fringe subculture into what has become a primary constituent of Americana. These are the ‘true blue’ Jews.

Jewish activity in the porn industry divides into two (sometimes overlapping) groups: pornographers and performers. Though Jews make up only two per cent of the American population, they have been prominent in pornography. …

In the postwar era, America’s most notorious pornographer was Reuben Sturman, the ‘Walt Disney of Porn’. According to the US Department of Justice, throughout the 1970s Sturman controlled most of the pornography circulating in the country. … It was said that Sturman did not simply control the adult-entertainment industry; he was the industry. …

Many are entirely secular, Jews in name only. Sturman, however, identified as a Jew – he was a generous donator to Jewish charities. …

Abrams shows how the corruption and debasement of Gentiles and Christian morality is a primary part of their motivation for intentionally infecting the Gentile community with pornography.

Is there a deeper reason, beyond the mere financial, as to why Jews in particular have become involved in porn? …

Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said “The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.” Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged. …

Extending the subversive thesis, Jewish involvement in the X-rated industry can be seen as a proverbial two fingers to the entire WASP establishment in America. …

Opposition to Jewish extremist subversion of Gentile, Christian or Muslim morality is frequently defined as anti-Semitic “hatred” in the Jewish dominated media. Abrams writing in a Jewish journal for a presumably Jewish audience writes matter-of-factly about the “atavistic hatred” against us by Jewish pornographers and their motivation to “weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion.”

Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. Astyr remembers having “to run or fight for it in grammar school because I was a Jew. It could very well be that part of my porn career is an ‘up yours’ to these people.” …

Obviously, there are no articles in the mainstream media exposing Jewish “atavistic hatred” against Gentiles by the promoters of pornographic depravity. Abrams even goes on to talk about the roots of this revolutionary Jewish attack on European values.

Jews were also at the vanguard of the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Wilhelm Reich, Herbert Marcuse and Paul Goodman replaced Marx, Trotsky and Lenin as required revolutionary reading. …

Pacheco was one Jewish porn star who read Reich’s intellectual marriage of Freud and Marx. …

In light of the relatively tolerant Jewish view of sex, why are we ashamed of the Jewish role in the porn industry? We might not like it, but the Jewish role in this field has been significant and it is about time it was written about seriously.

Notice that all those mentioned: Reich, Marcuse, Goodman, Marx, Trotsky, Lenin and Freud are Jews. From Freud to Goodman, all represent a Jewish revolution against traditional European values and morality.

When sick Jewish pornographers are part of the brutality of Jewish organized crime, the results can obviously be horrifically tragic for our people. In 2000, a Jewish “Russian” organized crime ring was uncovered that specialized in kidnapping Russian children, some as young as two years old, from parks and orphanages and then subjecting them to rape, torture and murder, all on video tape. These tapes were sold to thousands of Jewish and Gentile perverts all over the world. When police in Italy were frustrated by lack of action by the authorities they released some of the video footage to an Italian network which then showed some of the graphic images hoping to cause public outrage. Instead of outrage against the Jewish murderers the TV producers suffered outrage for showing the disturbing images.

In spite of the horror and obvious newsworthiness of this international Jewish child porn/murder operation, it received little coverage in the media in the United States. When Seth Bekenstein, the ring’s American distributor was arrested, there was little publicity, and in spite of being a part of one of the most horrific criminal activities imaginable, he was sentenced to only 18 months on guilty plea.

Porn is no longer 1950s pictures of voluptuous nude women on a deserted beach. It has become permeated with sadism, masochism, scatology, even sexual molestation, rape and murder of young children. I am no prude. I love the beauty of the human body. But, I do think that this kind of sick criminal activity, in which there is so much exploitation, so much degradation, so much catering to the depths of human depravity, should be fought with constitutional law.

Ironically, with Jewish influence over media, societal mores, and government today, it is legal, even chic to make and sell the sickest pornography showing the sick defilement of women. But, if you have unacceptable political opinions about Jewish supremacism, you may find yourself a political and social pariah, or at worst in prison. We live in a Jewish supremacist world where often the sickest porn is legal while political incorrect opinions will land you in prison.

Pornstars' confessions

Roxy

"They told me if had my AIDS test that I'd be safe. I arrived on the set with my test and did a hardcore scene with two men. Within that week I was very sick with a fever of 104 and blisters all over my mouth, throat and private area. I looked like a monster. The doctor told me I had Genital Herpes. I wanted to die." - Roxy aka Shelley Lubben
Neesa

"The truth is I let my lifestyle get the best of me. I hate life. I'm a mess. A disaster. I've attempted suicide many times."

"No one cares about a dead porn star or stripper." - Neesa
Jersey Jaxin

"Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It's never ending." - Jersey Jaxin
Nadia Styles

"I found out 2 days later that I had caught gonorrhea in my first scene! As quick as that the glamour of being a porn star was gone. In the five years I was shooting I caught Gonorrhea and Chlamydia many times. Sometimes both at the same time about every 3-5 months." - Nadia Styles
Tamra Toryn

"As for myself, I ended up paying the price from working in the porn industry. In 2006, not even 9 months in, I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix(which is a form of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease) and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only 1 choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out."- Tamra Toryn
Sierra Sinn

"My first scene was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didn't let me know ahead of time... I did it and I was crying and they didn't stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me. It hurt. It scared me more than anything. They wouldn't stop. They just kept rolling."
"Drugs are huge. They're using viagra. It's unnatural. The girls will be on xanax and vicodin." - Sierra Sinn
Elizabeth Rollings

"I didn’t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay. Sometimes you would get to a gig and the producer would change what the scene was supposed to be to something more intense and again if you didn’t like it, too bad, you did it or no pay." - Elizabeth Rollings
Michelle Avanti

"All I knew was I was going to make tons and tons of money. Boy was I wrong! The average I ever got paid was $900-$1000 and had to give 10% to the agent and 5% to the driver. My agent forced me to use a driver because he knew I was always wasted. About 75% of the women who make porn have to have drivers because they’re addicted to drugs and alcohol." - Michelle Avanti
Crissy Moran

"I went through more heartbreaks and became suicidal. I was taken to the hospital for panic attacks. I tried to overdose on xanax, strangle myself, and cut my wrists but not nearly deep enough. I was too scared of the pain. I prayed God would just take me away! I felt helpless. I even went to church for a few months but the guilt I felt was overwhelming that I would feel as if I were choking when I was at church. I had to choose and once again I chose to continue sinning. It was easier and I needed the money." - Crissy Moran
Becca Brat

"I hung out with a lot of people in the Adult industry, everybody from contract girls to gonzo actresses. Everybody has the same problems. Everybody is on drugs. It's an empty lifestyle trying to fill up a void."

"I became horribly addicted to heroin and crack. I overdosed at least 3 times, had tricks pull knives on me, have been beaten half to death- the only reason I am still here is God. - Becca Brat

Bernard Madoff

Prominent Jewish foundations shut down due to Madoff Wall Street affair
By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service
Tags: jewish philanthropy

An alleged $50 billion fraud by Wall Street financier Bernard Madoff has caused deep ripples in the Jewish philanthropic world, forcing the closure of two prominent U.S.-based charities and threatening the financial lifeline of a slew of other groups.

The Chais Family Foundation, a California-based charity group invested entirely with Madoff, was forced to shut down operations on Sunday after years of donating some $12.5 million annually to Jewish causes in Israel and Eastern Europe, the JTA announced.

"I can confirm that the Chais foundation has closed," the JTA quoted Chais President Avraham Infeld as saying on Sunday. "All of its funds were exposed with Mr. Madoff. We have made a decision regrettably and with much pain to close down the foundation."

The Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation, a Massachusetts-based group which financed trips for Jewish youth to Israel, was also forced to close on Friday because the money that supported its programs was invested with the former Nasdaq chairman.


Madoff, who allegedly told his employees he was running a "giant Ponzi scheme," was arrested Thursday in New York hours after the collapse of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, and released on a $10 million bond. United States authorities accuse him of running a phony investment business that lost at least $50 billion.

In addition to the closures of the two foundations, the scandal has also caused some other organizations invested with Madoff to call out for donations of their own to supplant their losses.

The Gift of Life Foundation, a Jewish bone marrow registry that relied heavily on Madoff as a benefactor, announced on its Web site Sunday that it would immediately need to raise $1.8 million to make up for recent losses, according to The Forward.

The huge alleged fraud - possibly the largest in history - has reached Israel, too. Among those invested in Madoff's funds and Ponzi scheme are an impressive list of Israeli insurance companies: Harel, Clal and the Phoenix.

Estimates of the insurance firms exposure are NIS 40 million for Harel, tens of millions of shekels for the Phoenix and approximately NIS 12 million for Clal.

The Technion also has lost money from its own exposure to Madoff and his scheme. It invested funds it raised from donations with Madoff and may have lost NIS 25 million.

Madoff, 70, was the former chairman of the Nasdaq, and treasurer of the board of trustees at Yeshiva University and chairman of the university's business school; he managed investment funds with over $17 billion in assets

Federal regulators reached a deal Friday to freeze the company assets and appoint a receiver to manage the firm's financial affairs. "The money needed to fund the programs of the Lappin Foundation is gone," the Massachusetts-based foundation said on its Web site, adding all staff had been let go. "It is with a heavy heart that I make this announcement," Robert I. Lappin, the foundation's trustee, said in a statement.

Jewish philanthropy insiders are worried that the ramifications of Madoff's financial demise may extend to the many organizations he supported and the wealthy people, many from the Jewish community, he advised, The Forward reported Friday.

The paper said Madoff, 70, was close to a number of prominent Jewish donors and made charitable donations to several Jewish organizations, including UJA-Federation of New York, the 92nd Street Y and the Gift of Life.

Madoff has resigned from Yeshiva University, where he served as the chairman of the Syms School of Business and treasurer of the board of trustees, the paper reported.

In addition, two private Swiss banks have acknowledged having investments in funds managed by Madoff. Reichmuth & Co says it has 385 million Swiss francs ($327 million) at risk, and Banque Benedict Hentsch Fairfield Partners SA says its exposure is 56 million Swiss francs ($47.5 million) of client assets.

Many well-off Jewish families said late last week they lost large sums they had invested with Madoff. Although some said there had long been questions about Madoff's business practices, it appears the high profits may have kept them from looking into it too deeply.

Madoff didn't tell clients how he got money for them, even when the stock market was tanking. But they relied on his personal reputation and that of his company, which was ranked one of the 25 most successful Wall Street firms. The steady profits, generally between 10 percent and 13 percent, attracted many European investors in addition to the wealthy American investors who entrusted him with their money.

Porn kills.

Out of approximately 1500 people who work as porn performers in California, 16 people that we know of died from HIV, suicide, homicide and drug related deaths between 2007 and 2009. 14 more died from medical causes to include lung disease, heart failure and cancer. These are only the deaths. There are many more living with diseases and cancers which are too numerous to count.

That's a total of 30 porn performers in thirty months ( 1/07 - 6/09) who died prematurely from HIV, suicide, drugs, murder and medical ilnesses. No other industry has these kinds of statistics, not even the music industry which is at least ten times bigger than the porn industry:

HIV/AIDS - Tom Howard - 2/27/07, Steve Taylor - 2007 and Joe Romero - 10/30/07

DRUGS - Anastasia Blue - 07/19/08, Missy - 08/18/08, Haley Paige - 8/22/07, Chico Wang - 9/29/07, Danny Dukes - 12/30/07, Anna Nicole Smith - 2/8/07, Danny Roddick - 9/13/07, Brett Mycles - 2/25/07
