FTC Finally Forces FreeCreditReport.com To Be Honest In Its Advertising

http://techdirt.com/articles/20100302/2343298378.shtml

I resolved this by

1) being told ‘no’ that by submitting my info to the site, I can confirmed enrollment to the $12.95 monthly service.

2) I explained that I was not angry at them, but I would like their employee name and id.

3) Then I asked for their boss or supervisors name and id.

4) Then I explained that I was a blogger and tweeter and that I would start a campaign against them.

5) Then I wanted to talk to that supervisor.

Finally the person said, they have authorized me to give you 3 months refund back.

I think I still lost $12.95 in the deal, thus this blog post.

Frackers…

Whirlpool - the global bloodsuckers - wins in Federal Court “Gentrification” continues …

“A federal judge in Grand Rapids, Michigan has dismissed a lawsuit that claimed the National Park Service and the Army Corp of Engineers failed to follow environmental laws when they allowed Benton Harbor’s very own Jean Klock Park and beach to be stolen from the residents of Benton Harbor for a private Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course,” as reported in the Michigan Messenger. What they did was criminal. “There were several major factual errors and flaws in the ruling, which if left unchallenged, open local and state parks across the country to privatization,” said Terry Lodge, attorney for the plaintiffs. Whirlpool, “has a plan to profit from the public’s legacy.”

Whirlpool, a racist global bloodsucker, continues to disrupt the community by building the golf course, on 530 acres of prime land, centered around luxury housing. This is a Billion dollar project designed to drive all Black Benton Harbor residents from the city. Whirlpool is trying to make the city a tourist attraction. They figure that Black people commit all the crimes so they want them out.

This is called gentrication. Let’s define gentrification. It is when the (GENTRY) like a Whirlpool — the upper ruling class — want to take or steal land from the poor. Why should the rich be able to force, push or kick out the poor and the homeless? Anytime the police find homeless people living in abandoned buildings, or in the park, they normally arrest them. That is their way of getting rid of them. The homeless were living in the area of the park, anywhere they could. They are trying to drive them out because of the golf course. Nobody is defend0ing the homeless except us.

The struggle goes on. It is a growing problem of social injustice toward the homeless and is hurting people as Whirlpool continues to suck the life out of Benton Harbor. Rev Edward Pinkney will continue to fight for the homeless and to stop racism.

Mr, Tedderic, a white supervisor at Whirlpool, openly practices racism with the blessing of his superiors. They have closed every avenue by which light may enter the minds of the residents of Benton Harbor. They are just one step away from accomplishing their goal of destroying all the African Americans that live here. They think, if they can extinguish the capacity to see the light, their work would be completed.They would then be on the level of the beast of the field and they should be safe.

We, the people, must continue to speak truth to power and stop gentrification everywhere. We need to take over the corporations before it is too late. It is getting closer and closer. Now, with the latest Supreme Court ruling, the corporations can back any candidate they want and put their money on them.They can tell the corporations “you are in control” and put whoever they want into office. They used to do it under cover. Now they can come right out with it.

¡Basta Dobbs!

Dear Friend —

It’s time for CNN to answer for their Lou Dobbs problem once and for all.

During the past month, Presente.org has been running an amazing campaign called “BastaDobbs.” They’ve been calling on CNN to cut ties with Dobbs for his long history of spreading myths about immigrants and Latinos, and his promotion of extremist, xenophobic groups (Basta means “enough” in Spanish).

This week, BastaDobbs supporters staged demonstrations across the country to coincide with the premier of CNN’s highly publicized special, “Latino in America.” The events drew significant coverage from both local and national media, and we know their message is being heard inside CNN. 1,2 Now it’s time to turn up the heat even further. Currently, more than 70,000 people have joined them in calling for Lou Dobbs to be fired. Can you add your voice, and help them reach their goal of 100,000

Dobbs’ network CNN, calls itself “The Most Trusted Name in News.” But Dobbs has shown that the only thing he can be trusted to do is spread dangerous, false myths about immigrants, give airtime to extremists, and use dehumanizing and disrespectful language towards our community.

For example, Dobbs has blamed Latino immigrants for an alleged leprosy epidemic that was widely debunked3, and has insinuated high crime rates by Latinos falsely claiming “illegal aliens” 4make up a third of the prison population. Dobbs also regularly hosts extremist guests like FAIR, the Minutemen, and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who he called “a model for the whole country.”5 

At the same time that they broadcast Dobbs’ show, CNN is aggressively courting the Latino market. The BastaDobbs.com campaign has been successfully calling out this hypocrisy, and demanding that CNN stop trying to have it both ways. It’s a powerful argument, and on top of Dobbs’ support for “Birther” conspiracy theorists, its making it harder than ever for CNN to stand behind Dobbs.

Please join me in saying “¡basta!” and ask your friends and family to do the same. It only takes a moment:

Thank you!
