GANG STALKING.. A WORLDWIDE PROBLEM.

YouTube channel's: Jonal0808 or TAPSCEO

I am looking for a perpetrator of gang stalking to answer these questions with serious intentions of addressing the truth.

What the hell is going through your minds as you are terrorizing/harassing/stalking your targets?

Do you use internal beliefs as justification for your actions?

Is it justified for you by your SUPERIORS?

Do you believe you are better than your targets?

fresh Chinese garlic in big box us stores bjs vegetable american jobs we wont do

And what you hear on the news is that Iran is a danger because the Iranians have produced yellow cake!

Who needs a nuke or an ICBM when you are able to sell a country located half way around the world across an ocean from your country "fresh" garlic?

Another job Americans won't do:  grow garlic.

Nothing wrong with that!

Will REALNEO ever have interactive comments, feedback, and a real sense of community again?

Submitted by ANGELnWard14 on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 23:09.

 As time progresses and life's challenges, news, and information are presented; the question of feedback, interactive exchanges, learning, and so much more are curiously being reviewed in my thoughts. 

Much lost content via "comments" discourages input due to the "block" being effectuated here on realneo. 

Regression with the "regime" winning by squelching the truth seekers is apparent.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission - High school diploma requirement might violate Americans with Disabilities Act

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Mon, 01/02/2012 - 18:46.

Employers could run afoul of the ADA if their requirement of a high school diploma “‘screens out’ an individual who is unable to graduate because of a learning disability that meets the ADA’s definition of ‘disability,’” the EEOC explained.“While an employer is not required to ‘prefer’ a learning-disabled applicant over other applicants with more extensive qualifications, it is clear

But Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director Jim Zehringer said during a news teleconference that fracking is not causing the quakes.The temblor Saturday appeared to be stronger than others, which generally had a magnitude of 2.7 or lower.

Cuyahoga County Save the Dream Link connects people to a German website...... another mockery upon the people.

Submitted by ANGELnWard14 on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 01:13.

A State of Ohio government website link takes you for seeking help with the SAVE THE DREAM programs which lists all the counties in Ohio to the below link when you click "Cuyahoga County". So, I guess you have to be German to get help or something? Amazing government programs that frustrate, derail, and send people into a seek and find mission simply to get help.....Surreal.

THE CHRISTMAS CONSPIRACY

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Sun, 12/25/2011 - 20:10.

There is no question that Christmas is rooted in ancient pagan traditions and Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th. Historically, Christmas was not observed until the 5th century when the Western church ordered the feast to be celebrated on the day of the Mithraic rites of the birth of the sun and at the close of the Saturnalia. There was no actual definitive day known to the church, when Jesus Christ was born.

How many tenants live in a dark apartment - in Cleveland, Ohio?

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 12/25/2011 - 18:19.

In Cleveland, Ohio, there are blocks of apartments (like the one in the image above) which don't have any lights on inside at 8:00pm.   I wonder what the 2010 census could tell us....

Are the tenants just all behind in their Cleveland Illuminating bills? or are these apartment blocks just empty?

Possitively Cleveland!

Sitting Shiva - when you've lost your 16 year old daughter.....

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sun, 12/25/2011 - 16:39.

I was staying with friends when I heard about this tragedy, and I immediately got a splitting migrane.   

I couldn't imagine the intensity of grief the parents and family were enduring. 

At at time like this you would want to crawl into a hole and drown in your depression...

So the Jewish culture over centuries has developed an antidote - about as good as it can be - sitting Shiva.

I had never heard about this industrial re-use project until a relative gave me a heads up and gave me a slide show (image above credit CEB)

The rail road right of way is on a viaduct - built decades ago - above street level and in numerous places went through the commercial warehouses and industrial buildings which the rail line served.

Mortgage Fraud--two of the largest players were indicted yesterday and the story was relegated to a back page and players get a slap on the wrist:

"The magnitude of this crime is hard to fathom," Mason said. "A total of 453 homes, 358 of which fell into disclosure, were part of a master scheme to bilk the banking and real estate industries out of funds."
