CONTROL .......

After some more thought, one of the main things that THEY ..... are attempting to accomplish, concerning the entire population of the country is CONTROL.

They control the income of many of us, which is our MONEY. They want to control our HEALTH CARE. They are keeping an eye on our computer usage, so they want to control the INTERNET. Through our internet usage, they can, somewhat, control our FAMILY. Many utilities are having problems, they are closing, it could lead to government takeover, so thus, control of our UTILITIES. Add all these things up, and more, and, they will control our LIFE.

Historically, CONTROL of population has been used successfully for the purpose, not in the long run, so there must be some shortcomings to CONTROL. Perhaps it is those who want the control.

A puppet is only as good as the person who controls the strings .................

Police: Daughter Killed Pa. Mom With Shotgun

Just another shooting story ..............

A two-decade family feud came to a violent end when a man shot dead the two home invaders that killed his wife and son, not knowing the assailants included his long-estranged daughter, authorities said Sunday.

Though the investigation of Friday's shootings continues, authorities said it appears Josephine and Jeffrey Ruckinger planned to murder her family at their rural central Pennsylvania home — but it remains unclear what exactly led to the deadly confrontation.

"They parked at the bottom of a long driveway, and walked up, heavily armed," said Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan.

Josephine Ruckinger was armed with a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun and her husband had a Derringer pistol and a .22-caliber semi-automatic handgun as they approached the Frew family home in Ashville, about 40 miles southwest of State College, according to investigators.

John Frew, his wife Roberta, and their son John Jr., 47, had just returned from dinner out, and were watching TV in the living room of the white mobile home when there was a knock at the door, authorities said.

Police say Roberta, 64, answered the door, and cried out something like "Oh my God, they have guns!" before her daughter shot her at point-blank range. John Jr. then may have attempted to arm himself with a gun, but Jeffrey Ruckinger shot him multiple times in the chest, killing him, police said.

The elder Frew, 67, grabbed a .22 revolver and came out from the bedroom to find the daughter he didn't initially recognize pointing the shotgun at him. Frew fired once, hitting her in the head, then turned and exchanged fire with Jeffrey Ruckinger, killing him. He then called police.

Josephine Ruckinger was still alive when police arrived, but later died at an area hospital. John Frew was not hurt.

Callihan said that the preliminary investigation suggests that the elder Frew and his family were victims "of a pre-planned murder" plot, and that he acted in self-defense. Police also found a can of gas and lighter fluid in the Ruckingers' car.

Ballistics and toxicology tests are pending, investigators said.

Authorities are still exploring possible motives, but say there may have been burglaries and robberies at the Frew residence in the past.

A relative, Virginia Cruse, said the daughter and mother did not get along, but that she had no idea what spawned Friday's tragedy. The daughter had "a hatred toward the family," she said.

When Josephine was about 20, she and a boyfriend trashed her parents' home and stole items including a pistol, then fled to Pittsburgh, Cruse said. After that, she said, "more or less, they disowned her."

Louisiana pastor shot to death during sermon; suspect is ex-deacon

September 29, 2013, 2:02 p.m.

A Louisiana pastor has been shot to death while preaching, police confirmed Sunday, and the alleged gunman is a former church deacon.

Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. was shot as he led a Friday worship service at Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center in Lake Charles, located in southwestern Louisiana, according to a statement from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Harris fell to the ground, authorities said; then the suspect, Woodrow Karey Jr., 53, walked up to him and fired again.

Karey, a former deacon at the church, fled but called police to turn himself in. Sheriff's deputies arrested him one block away, according to the statement.

Karey, who has no known criminal history, faces a charge of second-degree murder. Bail was set at $1 million, a spokesman for the Calcasieu Correctional Center told the Los Angeles Times.

Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. His daughter, Talisha Harris, told the Associated Press that her family is puzzled by the motive of the gunman, who she said left the church four years ago.

More than 50 members of the congregation witnessed the slaying, sheriff’s spokeswoman Kim Myers told The Times.

Police are still interviewing witnesses and investigating possible motives, Myers said.

Florida Men Charged With Fraud In Super Bowl Laser Scam

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged two men from South Florida with defrauding senior citizens and other investors out of millions of dollars as part of a bizarre scam that involved the NFL, the Super Bowl, and some kind of green laser technology.

The SEC announced the charges in a press release this morning:
The SEC alleges that Peter Kirschner of Delray Beach, Fla. and his business partner Stuart Rubens of North Miami struck an agreement with Thought Development Inc. (TDI) to solicit investors and sell unregistered company stock to help the Miami Beach-based company raise capital. TDI states that its signature invention is a laser-line system that generates a green line on a football field that is visible as a first-down marker not only on television, but also within the stadium to players, fans, and officials. TDI claims its technology would decrease the time needed by officials to determine first downs and generate more time to be sold to television advertisers.

The SEC alleges that through sales agents paid by their company Premiere Consulting, Kirschner and Rubens schemed to misrepresent to investors that their money would be used to develop TDI’s technology and fund a purported IPO of its stock. Instead, 75 percent of the offering proceeds were retained by Premiere Consulting or paid to sales agents through undisclosed commissions and fees. Investors also were falsely promised that TDI’s laser-line technology would be used during NFL games, and one individual invested an additional $75,000 because a sales agent lied and said that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell purchased the technology for use in the 2013 Super Bowl. TDI did not have any agreements with the NFL or any team to feature its technology during football games, let alone at the Super Bowl.

“Kirschner and Rubens used boiler rooms and high-pressure sales tactics to swindle seniors into believing they could help revolutionize the way we watch football,” said Eric I. Bustillo, Director of the SEC’s Miami Regional Office. “But these fraudsters merely did an end run with investor money.”
