Herman Cain innocent of sexual advances

 

 

Private investigator TJ Ward said presidential hopeful Herman Cain was not lying at a news conference on Tuesday in Phoenix.

Cain denied making any sexual actions towards Sharon Bialek and vowed to take a polygraph test if necessary to prove his innocence.

Cain has not taken a polygraph but Ward said he does have software that does something better.

Ward said the $15,000 software can detect lies in people’s voices.

CBS Atlanta’s Mike Paluska played Cain’s speech for Ward into the software and watched as it analyzed Cain’s every word. 

If he is hiding something this thing would have spiked way down here,” said Ward.  “He is being truthful, totally truthful.  He is a man with integrity and he talked directly about not knowing any incident he is accused of.”

The software analyzes the stress level and other factors in your voice.  During the speech, when Cain denied the claims, the lie detector read “low risk.”  According to Ward, that means Cain is telling the truth. 

During the section of Bialek’s news conference where she says, “He suddenly reached over put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals he also grabbed my head brought it towards his crotch.”

During the analysis of that section the software said “high risk statement.”  Ward said that means she is not  telling the truth about what happened.

“I don’t think she is fabricating her meetings,” said Ward.  But, she is fabricating what transpired.”

Ward said nearly 70 law enforcement agencies nationwide use the voice software, including the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

Ward said the technology is a scientific measure that law enforcement use as a tool to tell when someone is lying and that it has a 95 percent success rate.

After listening to Cain’s speech and analyzing it, Ward said there is no doubt, Cain is innocent.

“When he directly talks about the allegations against him there is no high risk,” said Ward.  “It is low risk, which tells me he is being truthful in his conversations to the public.”

Penn State should Get the Death Penalty

By: Elmer Williams

 

Jerry Sandusky deserves the death penalty in my book. Everyone at Penn State should be fired and I mean everyone. The corruption that has been display is the absolute worst scandal in college football history. Forget SMU when in the 1980’s they were given the death penalty for the corruption of bribes and kickbacks. One article says (1) “Regardless of their college affiliation, no Texas sports fan was left unscathed by the SMU football pay-for-play scandal of the 1980s that resulted in the first and only football application of the NCAA’s death penalty in 1987.” Forget about the Miami Hurricane scandal, the Ohio State scandal or the USC scandal. This is bigger and has far more trails of cover-up and depravity than all the others combined.

Not only should Jerry Sandusky be taken out to the woodshed. Mike McQueary should receive a life sentence for catching this animal in the very act and not stopping it. McQueary walked in on this deranged sick twisted pervert in the very act. He decided to go call his daddy after the little 10 year old boy saw him witness the young man being sodomized. McQueary is a dam coward in my eyesight, because here you have a young 28 year old strapping man who could have stop the act right than. Yet instead he turns around and goes and calls his daddy, and he and his daddy calls JoePa. JoePa turns around and calls Tim Curley who is the Penn State Athletic Director. According to Grand Jury testimony McQueary called a meeting with Curley and Senior Vice President about 10 days later with for Finance and Business Gary Schultz.

JoePa should also be arrested and anyone attempting to defend him is an idiot. The campus police and any other law enforcement agencies that did nothing should be locked up also. All of the entire staff at Penn State should be required to do some jail time. Rodney Erickson the interim president said (2) ““It became clear that Coach McQueary could not function in this role under these circumstances.”  In other words if the university had not received such backlash, McQueary would still be working the game.

As a matter of fact I believe that they should suspend the remainder of the football season for Penn State’s football team. I don’t care if everyone from Penn State University will be upset. You should have thought about that before all you sick irrational individuals set around and did nothing to stop this monster Sandusky.

Even after Sandusky retired and it was already known by Penn State staff including JoePa that this man was sick. He was given emeritus status which allowed him full access to the Penn State facility. There is grand jury testimony that implements JoePa and just seems conveniently suspicious to me. It says “Sandusky retired when Paterno felt it was time to make a coaching change and also to take advantage of an enhanced retirements.” The university was given this sick individual a retirement package for molesting children. Joe Paterno was fully aware of the molestation charges when Sandusky was forced into retirement.

 

This man started an organization with the sole purpose of molesting underprivileged children. This was worst than inviting the wolf into the hen house. This man could have been stopped on many occasions and some of these children could have been spared. But this small community cult of Pennsylvania wanted to protect their own. They wanted to make sure that the University of Pennsylvania did not look bad. How can the university recover from something this sick and perverted?

 

I want to know where is the NCAA on the whole issue. To me if SMU received the death penalty for their actions which was far less. How is it possible for the University of Pennsylvania not to receive their Capitol Punishment also? No person and I do mean no person can read the Grand Jury testimony and not come away with the impression that a lot of people covered this up. Please read the grand jury testimony here http://kstp.com/kstpImages/repository/cs/files/Sandusky-Grand-Jury-Presentment-1.pdf and you can be the judge for yourself.

After reading the Grand Jury testimony there is not but one conclusion that you can come away with. Jerry Sandusky is a sick perverted demented animal who should never see daylight again. Also you will say that some other people should be locked up for lack of action. But please don’t make JoePa out to be some saint. Some of the classless students began to riot after Joe Paterno was fired. Whatever happened to common sense? Look at how this makes you look in the eyes of the rest of the country. You are upset that JoePa was fired for covering up for a child molester. How would you feel if these were your kids that were molested by this pervert? For god sake JoePa was told by McQueary that he saw Sandusky in the very act. So stop with your defending of this child molester protector. If anyone is attempting to defend JoePa or the university I say you must be one sick puppy yourself. I want you just the read the Grand Jury testimony and come up with your own conclusion.

Is Herman Cain’s accuser Sharon Bialek a Gold Digger?

I'm a Gold Digger

 

BY: Andrea Peyser

Gold diggers — unite!

Sharon Bialek is 50, out of work and, according to one who knows her, she’s a smooth operator living way above her means. From the look of her heavily painted face, she’s also soon to be in acute need of a new tub of eyeliner.

Enter Herman Cain.

Bialek pranced into the Friars Club yesterday with lawyer — who else? — Gloria Allred aboard patent-leather do-me pumps. She proceeded to spill a dirty little secret she claims to have harbored these last 14 years — presidential front-runner and fellow Republican Herman Cain made a pass at my junk!

With that, she became the fourth woman to accuse the GOP presidential front-runner of sexual harassment — and the first to proudly show her face.

She did so with the breathy giddiness of a gal who’s read too many bodice-rippers. Bialek, who had her bleached-blond hair set in waves for the occasion, recounted with a broad grin the night back in 1997 when she flirted like a tart with the “inspirational” Mr. Cain.

“Mr. Cain sat next to me at that luncheon [inChicago] and spoke to me extensively . . . He was incredibly inspirational,” she said. “When he sat down I said to him, ‘When are you running for president?’ ”

At the time, she was employed for a year and change at the National Restaurant Association’s Educational Foundation, doing “industry relations” or something. Cain was the association’s CEO.

But then she was fired, “devastated.” On the advice of her “boyfriend,” she proceeded to stalk Cain toWashington, ostensibly to hit him up for a job.

 

Bialek said she arrived at her hotel to learn Cain had magically upgraded her to a suite. They had drinks, plural. They ate Italian.

“During dinner, Mr. Cain looked at me and said, ‘Why are you here?’ ” Good question.

Then, said Bialek, Cain, who she remembers wore a suit jacket, no tie — I can barely remember what I ate for breakfast — drove her to the offices of the National Restaurant Association, which, as far as I know, were closed for the night. In the car, she said, he went caveman.

“He suddenly reached over and put his hand on my leg, under my skirt and reached for my genitals,” she said. “He also reached for my head and put it toward his crotch. I said, ‘What are you doing? You know I have a boyfriend.’ ” She said she was shocked and told Cain it wasn’t what she came for.

Cain responded, she said. “You want a job, right?”

She refused his advances, and he drove her back to her hotel.

Now, I love a good romantic farce as much as the next bored housewife. But the question remains: Why sit on this seeming sexual assault for 14 years?

According to someone who knows Bialek: “She has a very infectious personality. It’s easy to see how she won [Cain] over. But the reality of her situation is — she’s a complete gold digger. It’s all about the money.”

The friend said she comes from a lower-middle-income family, but lives in a posh apartment running from bill collectors. “Most of her jobs ended in termination. It’s always the employer’s fault, not hers.

“This is a lady who lives off the system. She is hellbent on finding a way of never having to work and living the lifestyle she wants to live, a very affluent lifestyle. In my next life, I want to come back as her.”

The sad part is that Bialek has a 13-year-old son who must live with the shame and media scrutiny.

Fourteen years after the incident, an untraumatized Bialek said she approached Cain at a Tea Party conference last month inChicago– and was smitten again.

An “uncomfortable” Cain remembered her.

“I wanted to see if he would be man enough to own up to what he had done . . . During his speech, he had the same infectious presence and command as he did when I had heard him speak the first time.”

The last decade and change haven’t been so good. Bialek is unemployed, has a son. Her boyfriend’s long gone.

The gold rush is on.

Sharon Bialek, Cain’s accuser hugged him during Tea Party

They hugged each other backstage in a full embrace like old friends.

She grabbed his arm and whispered in his left ear.

She kept talking as he bent to listen, and he kept saying “Uh, huh. Uh, huh.”

Huh?

“I don’t know if what she was giving him was a sucker punch, but he didn’t put his arm down while she was talking to him,” said the Sneed source.

◆The “he”… is GOP presidential contender Herman Cain, who has been accused of sexual harassment by several women.

◆The “she”… is Chicagoan Sharon Bialek, who held a news conference Tuesday as the only woman to PUBLICLY accuse Cain of sexual harassment.

◆The Sneed source … is WIND radio co-host Amy Jacobson, who tells Sneed she witnessed the Cain/Bialek encounter a month ago while backstage at the AM 560 WIND sponsored TeaCon meeting inSchaumburgSept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center.

◆Quoth Jacobson: “I had turned on TV to find out who was Cain’s accuser, and I almost fell over when I saw it was Sharon Bialek accusing Cain of groping her genitals.”

“I was waiting for Herman Cain’s ‘Accuser No. 4’ to surface — and up popsSharon!”

“I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked.”

“I recallSharonwas hell bent on going backstage at the TeaCon convention — where she cornered him,” said Jacobson.

“I was surprised to hear she claims she did not know Cain was going to be there. Cain was expected and was late.”

Bialek told the media on Monday: “I went up to him and asked him if he remembered me. I wanted to see if he would be man enough to own up to what he had done 14 years ago.”

◆The encounter: “It looked sort of flirtatious,” said Jacobson. “I mean they were hugging. But she could have been giving him the kiss of death for all I know. I had no idea what they were talking about, but she was inches from his ear.”

◆The introduction: “It all began when I took a convention break and joined my pals at the hotel bar.Sharonwas drinking Mimosas with them. She said she was a Republican, a Tea Party member, had once dated [White Sox sports announcer’ Steve Stone] and had worked at WGN radio.”

◆The rendezvous:Sharonalso said she was anxious to meet Cain again and had once gone to an afterparty with him and her boyfriend years ago. But she never mentioned he had sexually harassed her.”

◆The upshot: Bialek has since applied for employment in sales at WIND radio and is scheduled for a second interview Thursday.

Freddie Mac-Daddy wants $6 Billion More

 

 

Published November 03, 2011

| Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON–  Government-controlled mortgage giant Freddie Mac has requested $6 billion in additional aid after posting a wider loss in the third quarter.

Freddie Mac said Thursday that it lost $4.4 billion, or $1.86 per share, in the July-September quarter. That compares with a loss of $4.1 billion, or $1.25 a share, in the same quarter of 2010.

This quarter’s $6 billion request from taxpayers is the largest since April 2010.

Freddie’s losses are increasing mainly for two reasons: Many homeowners are paying less interest because they are able to refinance at lower mortgage rates. And failing and bankrupt mortgage insurers are not paying out as much money when homeowners default.

The government rescued McLean, Va.-based Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae in September 2008 after massive losses on risky mortgages threatened to topple them. Since then, a federal regulator has controlled their financial decisions.

Taxpayers have spent about $169 billion to rescue Fannie and Freddie, the most expensive bailout of the 2008 financial crisis. The government estimates it could cost up to $51 billion more to support the companies through 2014.

Freddie and Washington-based Fannie own or guarantee about half of all U.S.mortgages, or nearly 31 million home loans worth more than $5 trillion. Along with other federal agencies, they backed nearly 90 percent of new mortgages over the past year.

Charles E. Haldeman Jr., Freddie’s chief executive, said many homeowners are refinancing at lower mortgage rates or are shortening the terms of their mortgage. While that saves homeowners money, it is pushing Freddie deeper into the red.

“In fact, borrowers we helped to refinance will save an average of $2,500 in interest payments during the next year,” he said.

For Freddie, those losses are temporary because interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable future, said Jim Vogel, an interest-rate specialist at FTN Financial.

Still, many homeowners are still defaulting on their mortgages. Unemployment remains stubbornly high at 9.1 percent. The percentage of those who are late by 90 days or more on their monthly mortgage payments was virtually unchanged at 3.51 percent in the July-September quarter.

Another reason Freddie needs more aid is because it has received less money from mortgage insurers.

Many riskier mortgage loans require insurance, which is meant to protect lenders and investors from losses if a homeowner defaults and the lender doesn’t recoup costs through foreclosure. The borrower pays a monthly premium for the insurance, typically a set percentage of the total mortgage loan. But when those mortgage insurers fail, they pay out less in claims.

For example, the main subsidiary of private mortgage insurer PMI Group was seized byArizonainsurance regulators last month. That followed heavy losses the group incurred after the housing market collapsed. PMI is now paying claims at just 50 percent.

As a result, the amount that Freddie has set aside for losses increased from $2 billion in the January-March quarter to $3.6 billion in the July-September quarter.

Fannie and Freddie buy home loans from banks and other lenders, package them into bonds with a guarantee against default, and then sell them to investors around the world. When property values drop, homeowners default — either because they are unable to afford the payments or because they owe more than the property is worth. Because of the guarantees, Fannie and Freddie must pay for the losses.

Fewer foreclosures and delays in foreclosure processing because of a yearlong government investigation into mortgage lending practices have reduced the companies’ projected losses.

Fannie and Freddie are required to pay 10 percent dividends on the government money they receive. Freddie paid $1.6 billion in dividends to the Treasury Department in the July-September quarter.

Pressure continues on the government to eliminate Fannie and Freddie and reduce taxpayers’ exposure to risk. The Treasury Department put forward a plan in February to slowly dissolve Fannie and Freddie, although that process could take years. Abolishing Fannie and Freddie would transform how homes are bought and redefine who can afford them.

Occupy L.A. Jumps on Crime Bandwagon

 

We are Occupy Wall Street Idiots

By Kate Linthicum,Los AngelesTimes

November 5, 2011

 Police were called to two violent incidents at Occupy Los Angeles on Friday, adding to questions about the protest and its future.

In the morning, a woman was arrested at the encampment outside City Hall after she set another person’s clothes on fire, police said. In another incident hours later, a woman was arrested after protesters said she struck a man with a tent pole. Both were booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Also Friday, police arrested a man on suspicion of climbing a tree and dumping fluorescent paint on a historic marble fountain that the city barricaded earlier this week to protect from vandalism.

The incidents are distressing, city officials say, because up until now protesters at Occupy Los Angeles have been mostly peaceful.

“We have not seen violent incidents like this,” Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Andrew Smith said. “But two felonies from the south lawn in one day? This has raised concerns for us.”

Last week, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said the encampment “cannot continue indefinitely,” citing health and safety concerns. He has instructed city officials to begin drafting a plan to identify another location for the demonstration. But it’s not clear when the plan will be announced or whether the protesters will agree to move.

Villaraigosa spokesman Peter Sanders said Friday that the city is working with protesters to assure the safety of those camping on the City Hall lawn. “But,” he said, “we recognize that a number of the individuals who are on the lawn are not affiliated with the Occupy L.A. protest.”

The encampment’s location in the heart of downtown has attracted more than just people protesting economic policies that they say have created an unfair distribution of wealth. A sizable number of homeless people have joined the camp — some who identify themselves as protesters and some who don’t — along with a range of other curiosity-seekers.

Protester Orameh Bagheri, who is organizing a teach-in with college professors and community activists this weekend, said the camp is “an open public space. There’s people coming in, and we don’t necessarily throw people out.”

Bagheri said the camp’s safety committee is working on how to address acts of aggression, which she said are an anomaly. “It is a nonviolent movement,” she said.

Compared with New York, where Occupy Wall Street protesters have had a tense relationship with police, or Oakland, where protesters have rioted, the relationship between police and demonstrators in Los Angeles has been quite relaxed. Marijuana smoke wafts throughout the encampment during the day, but there have been few drug-related arrests.

Most of the crimes reported have been petty, police said, as in another incident on Friday morning. As a heavy rain fell downtown, employees at a Starbucks near the encampment called police after they noticed that two patio umbrellas had been stolen.

Officers found the umbrellas — which had been painted in an unsuccessful attempt to disguise them — at Occupy Los Angeles.
