Combustible Anger August 11, 2011
Portugal, Ireland, French, Belgium, as well as the United States have seen confidence collapse in their financial standing. Political inadequacy, dysfunction have much to do with these issues.
Obama bought into balancing the budget in a dysfunctional job market. Worried about spending too much, a recession looms amid long-term unemployment, benefit cuts for labor, and changing markets. If the US slows it causes other countries to experience fiscal problems. These world problems go without attention as our congress extorted Obama into alleged debt ceiling issues, issues without genuine existence.
Republicans point fingers at democrats. Neither party takes on job growth legislation and both ignore global warming, failing businesses, and state failures to fund public education. It's like civilization has no value to our political leaders.
All of this is the biggest reason for a massive crime scene cleanup.
A sharp, great recession and wars created a monumental portion of debt. Banks took large bonuses when they received bailout money from the US Government.
Job numbers are much worse than reported. The way we count unemployment, the General Unemployment Measure uses a telephone system to count those who have looked for work in the last four months. The Employment to Population Ratio gives us a July number of 117,000 new jobs in July. The US needs 120,000 to keep up with population growth alone. The average duration of unemployment 40 weeks. About 44 percent of unemployed have years out of work.
The 20th month in a row showed states declining in city, county, and state government job losses. As a result I'm planning a Los Angeles crime scene cleanup directory to help those in need of my specialized cleaning business. I hope to experience growth in these dire times. I hope to help those in need; not so much for money.
Austerity economics does not bring back growth in capitalist systems. Austerity economics lead to the great depression. Stimulating the economy would work for job creation. Recall complaints that teachers were accused of being paid too much and their retirements were too generous. These complaints were used in other quarters. Keep in mind that today's student teachers enter the job market with staggering personal debts.
Somehow cutting deficits and stimulus are expected to bring back jobs.
Those working without good paying jobs cannot create demand for products.
A problem is that capital finds a way to make money for itself without creating jobs and products. Ask any billionaire for conformation.

On my crime scene cleanup home page I capsulate demopublican politics as they work today. Here I intend to expand on these ideas; for political parties reflect underlying powers in our country. Today's corporate personhood translates into a corporate state. How so? Well, not many of us can match a corporation's lobby powers locally or nationally. Currently, we're witnessing corporate power applied to state politicians through lobbying efforts.
Of course we see these same power brokers at work in our nation's capital, Washington D. C., a town few of us have a modicum of influence. We live in a corporate state, no doubt.
I return to my exposure of local government fraud in crime scene cleanup on following days. For now, I write about our most national government's criminality.

Writing
Nearly a month and I'm not writing as I pledged I would. My "book" remains on page two. My many web sites remain in the "under construction" phases. My crime scene cleanup goes by its name alone, not its practice. If crime scene cleanup work gets any worse, then I'll know the end of this line of business came to an end under government employees' mischief.
If that were not enough, another corporation runs from its duty to pay for my cleaning services, a big service, a shotgun homicide. See my page, cascade corporate management cheats. In ten years I've had two corporations welch, over five years ago, and then last month. What's with these guys. This last one I told to call around for the best price and service. He calls back. Sends an email giving directions to the homicide scene. Asks me to call the property manager when I arrived. I did. No answer.
Then I do the work in 100 degree and sun. Then I'm just completing everything but the cosmetic end when the manager arrives: "What are you doing here"?. I said, "Are you Jim?". He said, "Yes," and then I asked where he had been since about six hours had passed.
"You're not supposed to be here. You have to go. I called another company. "No way" I said repeatedly, including some @#$#$$. Sure enough, the guy that hired me calls and tells me to "leave; you're not licensed, insured, or bonded," which were all lies. I left. Now I chase my money.
There's so many dirt bags in the business world it's hard to imagine. It doesn't matter if its government employees working for the sheriff-coroner or public guardian, or corporate thieves, they have no conscience, no morality. Their ethics, "take what you can get away with."
I see this blog business has some therapeutic affects as far as discharging negative energy. I will return. Which reminds me, I need to work on Virginia crime scene cleanup.

Corporate Personhood

Today's corporate personhood translates into a corporate state. How so? Well, not many of us can match a corporation's lobby powers locally or nationally.

Debt Limit Politics
There's an idea among republicans that debt reduction translates into a jobs creating program. We're not clear on how this might work. Like, where's the rubber hit the road? In Keysian terms, reducing economic inputs into a capitalist economy reduces demand; reduced demand reduces the labor markets and fewer dollars in the hands of consumer. It's a cycle we're short circuiting through republican's political economics.

George Schultz
George Schultz made this following claim:
the lens through which Congress approaches issues is re-election. The lifeblood of their re-election campaigns is political contributions.”
Mr. Schultz practices "responsible" CEO duties. Starbucks profits from his ideas. Many people enjoy his products. His politics have a democratic character about them. This places Mr. Schultz in a good light. He has a large part of the solution, for the short-term.
"For the short-term," I say because it's more than money. No matter what we do, including cleaning up political corruption at home and in DC, environmental problems alone spell a catastrophic reordering of our society.

On the part of World War II, I suppose it was a necessary war, given the information we have at hand.
Given the information at hand, It seems the recent war on the Iraqi people is a war of choice on my country's part. I am ashamed of those who promote the war against the Iraq population. For those who continue to promote Bush and his program of death, I cannot measure the shame I feel because of their stupidity, bigotry, ignorance, and more.

Biohazard Defined
In case I'm forgetting to place this somewhere where I can find it, here it is.
Wet, moist, and dry flaky blood constitute biohazards. This definition applies to a universal protocol for blood's presence in the vicinity of human beings. As a crime scene cleaner it's easy enough to get mired down in this narrow definition.
Biohazards consist of many other substances, including microorganisms like bacteria and viruses. Then there's the airborne biohazards, the sewage borne biohazards, and more.
In any event, for crime scene cleanup purposes, keep blood dry as possible and keep it free from flaking before beginning work in its presence or when working upon blood.
If flaked and/or moist upon rrival, alter it before work begins. Remember "moist," not soaked, not dripping.
Wet blood is a hazard. Any object capable of squeezing and releasing blood constitutes a biohazards.
Altering includes pre-treating for bagging, transport.
"A biological hazard or biohazard is an organism, or substance derived from an organism, that poses a threat to (primarily) human health. This can include medical waste, samples of a microorganism, virus or toxin (from a biological source) that can impact human health. It can also include substances harmful to animals. The term and its associated symbol is generally used as a warning, so that those potentially exposed to the substances will know to take precautions. There is also a biohazard HCS/WHMIS logo which utilizes the same symbol." This is from Wikipedia. (Please forgive me Google.)

President Bush to help my business!
I recently heard that military veterans of the Iraq war will be denied mental health benefits in many cases. It seems that the Veterans Administration has begun labeling some war related mental health issues as "pre-existing personality disorders," thereby releasing the US Government from liability for their mental health problems.
As a consequence, I figure, we will see an increase in suicides among veterans and an increase in my work-load.
So it goes.

Off-duty Wis. deputy sheriff kills 6
By ROBERT IMRIE, Associated Press Writer
"All I heard it was a jealous boyfriend and he went berserk. He took them all out."
Always when I read headlines like the above I hope for an instant that the victims were bad guys. It's not so here.
I do not like guns, period. Anyone reading my blogs will testify that I write about by dislike for guns often enough:
Cop's Shots at Snake May Have Killed Boy
- Poor police work
and posse cometatus
-
Guns Suck!
Given the male component for testosterone, we can expect young men to "go off" at a fairly well paced regularity - - It's in their blood, literally. Throw in some jealousy, over-time police work, and bang! Of course, there are thousands of types of "mental illness" that will become suspect before the truth is known about the above incident. Be sure of this, the gun made it all possible.
There is little that we can do about it. Guns are here to stay. Try to police them out of existence and their presence will grow ten-fold and their value will grow a thousand-fold; Crimes related to "dealing" in guns will grow exponentially as the market for their cash-value grows, should they ever be outlawed.
There is only one time that I would want a gun to exist, and that time will never come, I hope. That is, if my wife were ever attacked by a loony bent on harming her, I would want her to have a gun to protect herself. I would also want her to be well trained to handle it.
That's about all that I have to say on the subject of guns and the unfortunate event that brought me to my mental-health blog writings. It does help to vent in this manner. Too bad the young police officer from the above incident wasn't bogging to vent problems.

Nepotism, Coroners' Employees, Crime Scene Cleanup
I'm looking at the big picture now, at least I hope that it is the big picture. My computer, the Internet, and crime scene cleanup take a much less demanding place in this big picture. I see that this line of business has reached its limits for me. I need to ease it out of my life, in part, just as computers and the Internet need to ease out of my life. Owning www.biosafe.us and so many other web sites has helped business, though.
Speaking of business, sadly enough, I find that those who deserve zero from this business gain greatly from it. Some might say that I am a "poor sport" for thinking this way.
The stories come in slowly from north, south, east, and west. Small companies vanquished by nepotism in coroners' offices lose out as nepotism slowly replaces free enterprise in the crime scene cleanup business. Civil servants, tax supported employees often seize the better paying death scenes for their relatives and friends, and at the bereaved and insurance company's loss.
There is not much to be done for it because word to the county administrator's goes unheard, or they could care less. Employees, relatives, and friends garner the more lucrative cleaning jobs simply because of their monopoly over information about homicides, suicides, and decompositions from unattended deaths. This is not "small business," it is not "free enterprise," it is nepotism, or a form of quasi-fascism to the sorry losers.
For example, if your father was county sheriff of town X, and you happen to be the son or daughter of the now retired sheriff, you stand to inherit whatever you might wish from this business so many now call "crime scene cleanup." Perhaps your brother-in-law works for the coroner's office as a technician or an investigator. The simple elimination of a few of your competitors' from a call list handed to the bereaved goes a long way. It is so easy to remove competitors when your office is in the coroner's department. This is one of the surest ways to enrich the undeserving who are removed from our competitive economy, the surest way to monopole profits from cleaning death scenes. Skew the opportunities to clean; that's the key.
Think about it. It is not appropriate for nepotism to occur in this environment by any means, but it goes on, and it grows. Can you imagine the conventions, the email lists, and other sources of information that carry information informing coroners' employees. Some moon-light and refer work to friends and relatives for a piece of the action. This is MONOPOLY and without the hazards of going to jail and a sure ticket to passing Go. Sad business it is.
Sure, it's OK for morticians and such to share information, to recommend one business over another for service and kickbacks. But it is another thing for a tax supported entity to become a broker for death's cleanup.
Crime Scene Cleanup.com has been fun for me because of the many calls for help that I received from it over the years; not calls for cleaning so much, but calls for vocational education information. There have been so many youngsters out there excited by the thought that they too were going to make "one-hundred dollars an hour." Little did they know that so many in this business pump it up into the thousands. Few know that the "heavy hitters" were and are somehow related to the coroners' offices throughout the USA by virtue of their family and friends.
I hope that the so-called "schools" for this business will not scalp too many of these youngsters as the years come and go. Granted, I can name two outstanding schools worthy of their fees, one of which I attended in Missouri. There is no nepotism to be found in their curriculum, only information for cleaning bio-hazards.
I dribble here.
Now, isn't all of this nepotism sort of like the "crony capitalism" that we see in Russia and other countries? Then again, isn't it sort of like the nepotism over monopoly occurring everyday in the USA as the top one-percent of our population plan their agenda?
For certain, I need steady work and income, and I need to get away from this computer for my remaining years. I've been here for several decades now. I started with the Commodore, which many young people have never heard. I was cranking out college papers on it with great glee so many years ago, but that seems like just a while ago! I don't regret any of it, but it is time to move back to the real world of stone-and-mortar. I need to make like Commodore and jam from this scene! My gut is testimonial enough to the hazard of this workplace.
I suspect that my cleaning days are coming to a close as I find a way to detach myself from this monitor and keyboard.

The "Drug War" and American Gangster
Crow and Washington are both expert actors and it shows in the movie, American Gangster. So I won't waste my moment of lucidity on their acting pros and cons. Their character's were real because the story develops from genuine, historical fact.
During the Vietnam War, caskets and body bags sheltered deceased US military personnel returned to the US. A fraction of these also transported heroin, via Burma. Washington's character reflected the antics of an entrepreneurial, African American, drug dealer doing business in Harlem. Unlike his competitors, he went straight to Asia to short-cut the multiple middlemen in the heroin's decent into Harlem.
Now I've lost my "lucid moment."
Today we find that there are many heroin drug users, and they are indeed self-medicating. Whether or not they self-medicate for psychological reasons in the beginning of their abuse, or for the thrill factor, or both, is beside the point. Today they are at risk and so are the police and others that must deal with their behavior.
Again I go on record, despite the Marxist and Christian ideological purists, if people insist on self-medicating , so be it. I know that it is not politically correct to say so, but facts are facts. Besides, is not alcohol use for self-medication? For sure, just like heroin!
Heroin abusers will not stop in most instances, at least once fully addicted, like some alcoholics. So why waste precious lives on stopping them? Why not just let them self-medicate, but with psychoactive drugs prescribed by licensed psychiatrists? What's the big deal? So some folks among us will get a weird adrenaline rush throughout their day while others do not? Unlike alcoholics with nauseating life-styles plagued by hangovers, heroin users can be switched to safer, controlled, psychiatrically prescribed drugs so that they can function throughout their day.
And I know about Brave New World. So what? We do live in a new world. Just look at the stupid boob tube! Millions of people are strung-out on idiot, commercial television, which is criminal to my way of thinking.
And the State does play a role in the type of human beings being produced, besides their epistemological frame of reference. Just look at immigration policies that reward young mothers for reproducing once they arrive within US borders. Bingo! The newborn becomes a citizen and a free pass to its less-than-legal mother. So here's an incentive to produce a particular set of chromosomes based upon immigration policies. Never mind the political economy of how and why mom and infant arrive within US borders. They're here.
Needless to say, folks in the less-than-legal set of circumstances are typically poor, poorly educated, and prone to do the stoop-labor our society needs. "Brave new world," I said. These folks are typically hard working, perform the grunt work, profoundly upright in values' terms, and midlevel in their cosmological outlook - - not so unlike the Taliban. (Gads, sounds reactionary doesn't it!)
This population of invaders are often Mayan in heritage, genetically speaking. They perform the socially necessary labor that others refuse to do. Their isolation leads to a form of genetic isolation. So in a sense, by the State's acquiescence in their invasion, the propagation of this population's genetic codes grows. Of course, this is true of other ethnic groups, but no group remains isolated socially and genetically the way the invading population remains. (I would "invade" too if I were in their shoes.)
Not to change the subject anymore than I have, I am not referring to "races" here because there is only one human race. I am making a point that the State already manipulates the human genetic code directly and indirectly, like we read in Huxley's Brave New World.
The USA is being invaded by an "Epsilon" population that has an incentive to invade and procreate, figuratively speaking.
Regressing, "no more cop deaths related to drug dealers," I say. "Let's step into the 21st century" wide-eyed and prepared to deal with intentional manipulation of the cerebral cortex, just like in Star Trek. Sobriety has its virtues, and we should pronounce these virtues high-and-wide. We should also be prepared for those among us that choose to test these pronouncements.
Yes, we can put an end to many of the perfect storms created in law enforcement by removing the drug war from the US law enforcement agenda. End the war against people using drugs. I say it again, "If people want to bailout of the hard knocks of life, that's their business." If people want to live on the street while using la-la land, professionally prescribed chemicals, that's their business. At least with prescribed drugs, like methadone, there's some control over their lives, there's some structure to their lives, and there's some way of helping them, if and when they want help.
At least on prescribed drugs, people will be able to function in a lawful, safe environment. And the police will not be motivated to corrupt their own lives, and the police will be safe from American Gangsters dealing drugs, because there won't be any American gangsters dealing drugs.
And last on these matters, for the moment, when the State prescribes drugs to those who choose to medicate their existence, the State will spend a fraction of what it spends on this crazy drug war.
That's how I see it and so it goes.

Yesterday - Observation 2
On the 57 freeway southbound, the 3 right lanes were closed at Imperial Hwy for construction. Several vehicles were used to block these lanes.
Near the actual work, around 8 or so young men wearing their reflecting outfits sat in a section of road cleared of concrete. They were tying rebar, it appeared. I suppose that they were tying it prior to the insertion of concrete.
The amazing fact is that there were no vehicles or barricades of any sort between these workers and the passing traffic. Orange cones stood at the ready to alert the reckless drivers that we see racing in, out, and between everyone else. But that was all. Not so much as a wheelbarrow stood between these young men and mass murder.

OSHA and Bloodborne Pathogens
I rushed into the men's room at one of those gas station fast-food businesses late last night. A young Latino man entered carrying a large, see-thru, plastic bag from the ladies' room. It was full of those feminine napkins. (Thank you God for not making me wear one of those things!)
How does OSHA fit into this picture, this on-going story nationwide? He had no gloves on, no mask, and placed the contents of that bag into the waste for the men's room. I suppose he dumped the whole mess into the the solid waste dumpster out back.
We can't do this sort of thing with blood from a crime, trauma, or unattended death. I would not want to and I would not want anyone else to do so. My thing is to find a way to treat bio-waste on-site to neutralize, to decontaminate it in a universally safe and effective (affective?) way.
I know I've covered this information here before. The napkins are safe unless the blood dries out and can flake, thereby becoming airborne, or if it is moist and can splash or drip or smear into or onto someone's wounds or orifices, like the mouth, eyes, and wounds.
I'm thinking about getting Crime Scene Cleanup Magazine going (again), only for free this time. (An afterthought)

Does anyone REALLY CARE?
I write for myself and not an audience, and I write because "The writer writes because he has something to say." Anyone reading my blog will agree that I spend more time belly-aching over environmental issues than anything else, and that I tend to lean toward law enforcement's well being, left-of-center as I've been called. Actually, I am quite conservative and have a deep sense of common decency for the current and future generations.
Be that as it may, when we write for the Internet, the use of capital letters, as in my title, signifies shouting, screaming.
And I did indeed intend to convey the shouting of the two words, "REALLY CARE?", because when it really comes down to it, I believe that there is a very small population that really cares about the fate of the Earth and all of Mother Earth's children -- all of them.

<<BAGHDAD - Deaths among American forces and Iraqi civilians fell dramatically last month to their lowest levels in more than a year, according to figures compiled by the U.S. military, the Iraqi government and The Associated Press.>>
By no means a fan of Bush's war, I will admit that the above article brings good news, in a sense. At least the numbers are reported down, rather than up. If it is true that the "surge" (escalation) brought about a decrease in overall death and sulfuring, good.
It is odd that an adequate number of troops were not used to begin with; it is even more odd that US troops were needed at all following the collapse of the sadman regime. The Iraqi Army, or at least its military police, could have remained to police its own population. They even speak the same language.

Posted by Eddie Evans at 6:57 AM 1 Sheriff Coroner
In California the coroner's office is usually referred to as the "Sheriff Coroner" because the county sheriff has the duty of retrieving the deceased, in many cases. The Sheriff is an elected official, so his/her job is performed as a public trust.
The Sheriff coroner's technicians, clerks, and other functionaries keep the gears rolling when death arrives outside of a hospital.
It is the technicians that actually do the lifting-moving of the deceased. These are the personnel tasked with entering a death scene littered with thousands of dead flies and even more thriving flies, often airborne. Maggots, spiders, and other insects thrive in this environment, for a while. Once the technicians do their work, the insect life begins to die off. At times, the deceased has become stuck to the carpet. It is easier to contain, lift, and move the deceased and carpet as one piece of material, at times.
I am usually very pleased with the technicians' work. "How do they do it," I often think when I walk into an advanced, decomposition scene. I may be wearing protective gear, at least a full-face respirator. They have been in and out wearing paper masks, if wearing anything on their faces at all! Sure they probably get used to the odors, if anyone can get over these odors -- I never have. Sure they probably get used to the horrific scene of bloated or mummified human remains -- I never would. My hat is off to them. And fairly consistently they do good work, sometimes beyond the call of duty, it appears.
Rarely do these technicians fail to gather all the bio-waste from a violent death scene. Wounds to the head create special problems, at times. With a head wound, I expect to find hair, pieces of scalp, pieces of teeth, and even pieces of jaw. These pieces are obviously missed because they were projected well beyond the immediate proximity of the deceased. After all, why should the technicians be looking in a closed shower when the suicide took place on a bed some 25 feet away?
Wounds to the abdomen by large caliber handguns may cause the stomach and other vital organs to spill onto the surface of the floor, right next to the deceased. It depends upon the the angle of the projectile; it depends upon the victim's clothing or lack of clothing. Unlike the discrete pieces created by a head wound, the abdomen's contents sort of slide into a bloody mix. Either stomach, spleen, kidney, and liver, some part or whole of this mix pour onto the floor's surface, in many cases.
The technicians remove most of this mix, but for the blood and unknown ooze. On occasion, though, small or even large quantities of this mix sort of slide under a bed or under a night stand beyond sight, beyond reach. After all, this mix is quite fluid, slippery, and moving with some velocity following impact. As physics would have it, this mix is so slippery that it becomes difficult to pick up. For recent wounds, say within 36 hours, removing this slivering mix requires pushing it across the surface of the floor into a dust pan or such. It is too slippery, too amorphous to simply remove as one would a discrete piece of carpet.
This is where I come in, to recover what the coroner's employee's might have missed or simply ignored. After all, sometimes there are heating blanket wires, lamp wires, clock wires, TV wires, radio wires, computer and monitor wires, shoes, socks, pillows, blankets, pictures, bottles, ash trays, and more covering the line-of-sight to the errant, abdominal mix. Perhaps the released material has slid away on a nicely polished stone or linoleum surface. You get the picture?
The coroner's technicians earn their keep, then. Keep in mind that they lift death many times. Sometimes death is heavy; Sometimes death is not so heavy, and sometimes death is stuck to the floor and surrounding walls and ceiling. These technicians earn their stripes the old fashioned way, lifting and moving under fire, so to speak.
I suspect that many coroner's employees make very nice friends. I suspect that they have a defensive attitude about their occupation, "Someone has to do it."
I can find no wrong with the job or the job description.
With all they do, with so little public recognition and all the wealth to be gained in the world, I can easily imagine how a coroner's technician might bend to a bit of bribery from a guy like me. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Worse, civil society will decrease that much more as people have fewer moments left for learning about and doing affective political work.

This is an interesting video. Many folks dislike Microsoft, and there's a move in cyberspace to place applications and such on servers, like Sun Microsystems has pursued.
Imagine using a computer with a monitor and keyboard hooked to a cable, no computer to deal with at home. That's what we could be headed for, and even sooner than later.
The downside, as I see it, is loss of some control.
