CERTEGY CHECK CASHING SCHEME BACKFIRES. CERTEGY HAS TO PAY 3 MILLION DOLLARS FOR FRAUD AND OTHER SCHEMES AGAINST YOU AND ME

CERTEGY IS BEING USED BY MANY STORES YOU GO TO. iF IT WERE ME, I WOULD BE FINDING OUT IF your STORE USES THESE IDIOTS AND THIEVES AND I WOULD NO LONGER DO BUSINESS WITH ANY PLACE THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH THESE THIEVES.

I know fIrst hand about these thieves, and their tactics, which are believe me illegal as shit.
First off, in my case, they won’t contact us, send us an invoice, nor can they even prove we owe them any monies at all.
In June 2012, we were notified by our bank that our account and many others had been compromised, and were asked to change account numbers.
We complied.
ONE AND ONE HALF FUCKING YEARS LATER, after doing business with HEB stores in Texas for 15 or more years, all of a sudden they declined my check.
Come to find out, they had just hired certegy for their check cashing.
This was may of 2014. Godaddy tried to make the charge in january 2013, 2 fucking years ago.
So, I tied to find out what was wrong, and they gave me this shit about GODADDY.COM trying to make a charge against my CLOSED bank account (which they had no permission to do), certegy was their bank, I am guessing, and certegy paid them the $20 and 12 fucking cents, and when they could not collect if FROM MY CLOSED BANK ACCOUNT, decided that I owed them the money anyway.
I never received any kind of notice from godaddy or certegy and have never received not one goddamned thing, to date (01-02-2015) and here it is 2 fucking years later and I still ahven’t heard a goddamned word from these fucking idiots.

1) YOU CANNOT MAKE A CHARGE AGAINST A CLOSED BANK ACCOUNT AND TRY TO COLLECT JACK SHIT. IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DO THAT SHIT, I COULD IT HERE, WITH A LIST OF CLOSED BANK ACCOUNTS, AND MAKE CHARGES AGAINST THEM, AND THEN SAY THEY OWED ME THE MONEY ALL FUCKING DAY LONG.
THIS IS AGAINST FEDERAL LAW. IT IS CALLED FRAUD!!!!!!!
2) IF YOU DO SAY I OWE YOU MONEY, YOU HAD BETTER HAVE SOME KIND OF MOTHERFUCKING RECEIPT TO SHOW IT, OTHERWISE FUCK YOU!!!
3) A 20 DOLLAR DEBT IS NOT COLLECTIBLE IN TEXAS, ANYWAY. THE LIMIT IS 25 DOLLARS.
4) BY THE SHEER FACT THAT YOU WILL NOT TALK TO ANYONE, SEND ANYONE AN INVOICE OR SHOW A RECEIPT, MEANS YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FUCKING PROOF, AND YOU ARE FUCKING THIEVES AND NEED TO BE PUT THE FUCK IN JAIL. YOU’RE A GODDAMNED THIEF AND A FRAUD, AND YOU ARE DOING IT ACROSS STATE LINES, MEANING IT IS FEDERAL.
IF I COULD GET MY HANDS ON YOUR STUPID FUCKING ASS, I WOLD TEACH YOU A LESSON ABOT TRYING TO STEAL MONEY FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT.
5) BY NOT SENDING ME ANY FORM OF RELIEF, YOU ARE ,ONCE AGAIN, COMMITTING FRAUD. YOU CANNOT SAY I OWE YOU MONEY AND THEN TELL ME THERE IS NO WAY TO PAY WOU WHAT YOU SAY THE FUCK I OWE YOU. AGAIN, FRAUD. YOU HAVE NO PROOF, THEREFORE FUCK YOU AND THE STUPID ASSED HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.
6) IF YOU HAVE DONE THIS SHIT, TO ME, HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE YOU PULLED THIS SHIT ON.
7) IT THINK I’LL FILE AGAINST YOU HERE, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS YOUR BANK ACOCUNTS (YOURS AND YOUR EMPLOYEES), SO YOU OWE ME THE MONEY I TRED TO GET BUT COULDN’T. IT’S YOUR FUCKING RULES, CERTEGY, NOT MINE. IF THEY ARE GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, THEN BY GOD THEY ARE GOOD FOR THE FUCKED UP GANDER.

JUST HAVING TO COME TO TEXAS FROM YOUR FLORIDA HEADQUARTERS WILL COST YOU MORE THAN 20 FUCKING DOLLARS AND I WANT YOUR ASS IN FRONT OF A TEXAS JUDGE WHO WILL PUT YOUR STINKING FUCKING ASS IN A FUCKING SLING, OR WORSE, JAIL.

Below are the facts about certegy and how the feds sued them in august 2014 and won, hands down, and it cost certgegy 3 million, Just about what I am going to sue them for.

Fuck you certegy and you and your fucking families and ytour stupid fucking thieving staff.
You people are the stupidest idiot assed motherfuckers on the fucking planet.

Where the fuck is a lawyer when you need one?

Certegy Check Services to Pay $3.5 Million for Alleged Violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Furnisher Rule
Penalty is Second-largest in a Fair Credit Reporting Act Matter
For Release

Certegy Check Services, Inc., one of the nation’s largest check authorization service companies, has agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that it violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

Certegy, based in St. Petersburg, Fla., is a consumer reporting agency (CRA) that compiles consumers’ personal information and uses it to help retail merchants throughout the United States determine whether to accept consumers’ checks. Under the FCRA, consumers whose checks are denied based on information Certegy provides the merchant, have the right to dispute that information and have Certegy correct any inaccuracies.

The FTC’s complaint alleges, among other things, that Certegy did not follow proper dispute procedures. The complaint further alleges that Certegy failed to follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information it provided to its merchant clients, as required by the FCRA.

Among other things, the settlement requires Certegy to make improvements in these areas. This case is part of a broader initiative to target the practices of data brokers, which often compile, maintain, and sell sensitive consumer information. Consumer reporting agencies like Certegy are data brokers that sell information to companies making important decisions about consumers, such as their ability to get credit or pay for goods and services by check.

“Inaccurate information in a consumer reporting agency’s file can have a huge impact on a person’s everyday life, starting with their check being denied at the grocery store,” said Jessica L. Rich, Director of FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “In this case, we alleged that Certegy delivered a one-two punch: the company not only failed to assure that the information it provided to retailers was accurate, but it also failed to follow proper dispute procedures. Today’s settlement will benefit consumers who use checks to pay for essential goods and services, including many older consumers and people without alternate means of payment, such as credit cards.”

In addition to the allegations described above, the complaint alleges that Certegy violated the FCRA by failing to create a streamlined process for consumers to obtain free annual reports that they are entitled to; and establish and implement reasonable written policies and procedures regarding the accuracy and integrity of information it furnishes to other CRAs. This is the first Commission action alleging violations of the Furnisher Rule, which went into effect on July 1, 2010. The settlement requires Certegy to comply with the Furnisher Rule, as well as the requirement to maintain a streamlined process so that consumers can request their free annual reports.

Information for Business

The FTC has information for businesses on the Furnisher Rule, which can be found on the Commission’s website. Information regarding what businesses should know about consumer reports also is available.

The Commission vote approving the referral of the complaint to the Department of Justice and consent in settlement of the court action was 4-0. The complaint and proposed consent were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on August 15, 2013, against Certegy Check Services, Inc. The proposed consent decree is subject to court approval.

NOTE: The Commission authorizes the filing of a complaint when it has “reason to believe” that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. Consent decrees have the force of law when signed by the District Court judge.

The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistantor call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

EBAY, The Biggest, Shilliest, and MOST Fraud Ridden Website On The Planet Bar NONE!!

The FEDS know it, I know, it YOU know it, now it’s time someone wrote about it.

Just go to Ebay and BID on anything.

99.9% of REAL Legitimate bidders, already know that to bid early is to have your bid bumped up, either to it’s max, or they go over it, slightly, wait until someone else bids and then it happens all over again, and again, and again.

REAL ebayers, know that they will only put in their bid at the very last minute, because of the fuckwads that pull this shit. These are usually the bidder (under another identity..discussed later),or one of their friends or business partners, and YES, even ebay themselves, bumping up the bid, because it enhances their bottom line. The more the seller gets, the more ebay gets,  in fees, and paypal transactions and/or fees. (also discussed later)

You make a bid, then some fucking idiot asswipe shill bidder, comes in and bids 10, 20, and even over a  hundred times to overcome your bid. Yet, they NEVER seem to go OVER your bid…just up to what they suspect is your high or max bid. Clicking or selecting the “have ebay bid for you) button, is just plain stupid, as you KNOW what is about to happen. THAT only gives ebay the right to fuck you out of your hard earned money, with YOUR permission. How fucking stupid is THAT?

This is shill bidding (which constitutes fraud) and it happens, on almost every item that is bid on, barring almost none. Try it and see…pick an item, any item, put in a high bid (more than you would actually spend on their shit), and watch the bids roll in, one at a time, until they think they have reached your limit. Someone else comes in, bids, even more, and yet, no one seems to go over your high bid. If they do, watch that item come right up for bids/sale, again, with no explanation for WHY it came back up for bid. At this point, you can do it again, and watch the fun begin, once again. I gaurantee you this will happen 99.9%, if not 100% every time.

Ebay knows about it, the FEDS know about it, WE know about it, and see it every day, yet, no one does jack shit about it. So how and why is EBAY allowed to get away with this shit? Have the feds Turned a blind eye? Are the feds paid off? Is your congressman paid off by Ebay? Does the fucking pope have a gold lined shitter? Does a bear shit in the fucking woods? YOU BET YOUR ASS!!!!!

How is it that ebay can defraud half or more of america and get away with absolutely NO retribution from ANY law enforcement office? Department of Justice my ass. How about Department of Paid off, BLIND fucking assholes and idiots.

I can show you, item after item, that this is happening on. One or 2, you sould say it is just  the selelrs fault. But EACH AND EVERY FUCKING ITEM? That smacks the shit out of fraud and ebay is perpetuating it, condones it, and is, in my oopinion, even doing it, going as far as to actually HIRE people to do it.

If you read their rules, this is forbidden and they give examples, which are EXACTLY what I am talking about, and to which I will show examples, in this article, of. If they know about it, then they are actually behind it, because they have such sofisticated software, they ALWAYS know who is doing what and which are doing it, how they are doing it, and when they are doing it. You tell them about it, and it just keeps going on, with the same old sellers, over and over and over again, even if they change identities, add new identities, etc. Those 10,000 plus sellers…..same shit. Look at their feedback, and you wil lsee other ebay rules being broken ,and ebay letting it happen, too.

You and I get so many negative feedacks, in a certain amount of time and we get suspended or kicked out. YET, look at the high feedback sellers, and oyu wil lsee they top what you and could get, by a FAR and WIDE margin, yet they are still allowed to sell, without suspension, or being banned from selling. Some of thise have as many as 1000 NEGATIVE feedback a month, THAT’S A  MONTH, NOT A YEAR!!!!, yet they are still allowed to keep fucking people aout of their money, unimpuned. how the FUCK does this keep happening? Answer: EBAY is behind the biggest fraud in amercan history, and have som many people paid off, it isn’t funny.

Lets take an example like this

notice the number of bids by a NEGATIVE feedback biddder and the ZERO bidder. Neither one should have even been ALLOWED to bid on this item, period, other than to make ONE bid. Yet ebay allows this and the seller did, too, showing that the negative feedback bidder must be in league with (at least) the seller.

In looking this up, under the number of bidders page, we see that the bidder(s) both zero and negative feedback, have bid on this sellers items 75% or more of the times, and under the ebay rules, fal linto the category of SHILL BIDDERS, because neither has ever won an item, they just bid them up for the seller.

This means, that the potential buyers are 1) the seller himself under another identity (ebay says this is impossible, but people do it all the time, check and google it, to find out how), and ebay themselves, also say that they disallow this happening, o a daily basis. Apparently they can’t use mathmatical calculations to find this, as it shoudl be easy as hell to do. They just don’t WANT to do it, as it would affect their bottom line….. MONEY!!!!!

In googing this I fgould that these people do it for several reasons.

1) is to prime the bid (to get someone started bidding on the item, so others think it is actually worth something)

2) to jack up the bid , in order to not LOOSE money on the item they are trying to sell, which  may or may not be junk, in the first place.

3) to just jack up the orice, in order to make the most money they can, without being caught and having to relist the item, again

The true depth if this can be onoted by simply watching the item come back up for sale, AGAIN, and sometimes the seller will make note that the original buyer was a “non paying” bidder, which ebay has blocked you from finding out who it is, in their infinite stupidity, and so you can’t see the “non paying” bidders feedback, to prove it was a shill bid, in the first place.

Ebay has gone to great lengths to keep you from finding out who the main parties are, pulling this shit on unsuspecting buyers, because you would probably find out ebay, itself, is a party to this, and I suspect and have suspected for some time, that ebay hires people to do this to increase their bottom line, from the fees it charges for each and every sale. I do not soubt ebay has hired, on it’s staff, people to just sit and bid on certain items, that are currently in demand, so they increase their revenue from sales by these means. If you knew it was  happening, you wouldn;t bid on those items.

In fact, REAL bidders on ebay KNOW not to bid on an item, until the last few seconds,  because they KNOW, also, that some jack ass will ALWAYS come in and jack up the bid, to what they think is your limit, if not going over it slightly in the process. They bid one bid at a time, so they can withdraw that particular bid, in case they accidentally go  over your limit, and they don’t have to actually BUY the item, they are selling for themselves.

I have recorded several examples like this:

Note the bidder with 546 feedbacks comes in on Nov. 13th at 19:57 (all times are PST…pacific time) and makes a legitimate bid.

Here comes the ZERO feedback bidder, just after 20:29, on the same day and makes  a multiple of bids, and it appears goes over the bidder by one bid (note it was only by 4 cents, which ebay shouldn’t have allowed anyway…most are 25 cents  minimum).

so the next dat ,just before 7 a.m. another apparently legit bid comes in, so ZERO bidder, comes in again, and bids over that bid (most likely he thought the 2nd legit bidder had bid higher), and notice it was just 2 minutes after the 2nd legit bidder. Time says everything. He is watching the bids, so he/she (the seller) can either bid as the zero, or have a friend do it, mother daughter son, cousin, whatever.

another few good bids come oin, so now the seller thinks it will go as high as he wants, but wait….

Notice at  the top of the page, bidder with 507 feedbacks comes in, just after midnight and makes his big bid (with 507 feedbacks, he should know better)

So, hers comes the 17 feedback bidder (i suspect as being somehow connected to the seller) who makes 5 more bids, to drive up the price, yet never overcomes the 507 feedback bidder’s bid.

The bottom eline is this item(a graphics card, probably used for cryptocoin mining) should have sold for around 50 bucks, but was driven up to over 162.50 (bid wasn’t over when I snapped the picture), so ebay’s bottom line (about 12%, plus listing fees, and paypal fees…[ebay owns paypal]), increased from about 7 bucks to over 25 bucks.

Do this hundreds of not thousands of times daily, and you see  how much ebay is jacking up it’s profits, at YOUR expense. YOU have to pay listing fees, 12% to ebay from your sale, and then another 2-5% to paypal for using their services. And ebay says you HASVE to accept paypal as a payment method, on each and every sale, period.

Look at these examples and the sheer nu,mber of bids by a suingle (supposed) buyer, and  tell me ebay is not allowing shill biding. If you do ,then you are one big, dumbass, fucking idiot.

Look at these and tell me they are not shill bidders.

this foirst guy has put in over 440 bids on 60 different items, yet never won one.

How is this guy even ALLOWED to bid on anything, as he is obviously a shill bidder for sale, and it looks, suspiciously, like he is attached to ebay as an employee.

and here is another example. Note this guy has bid on 40+ items, 50% of which are with this seller, yet he has never won an item, and is still at zero feedbacks.

Most legitimate sellers doon’t even ALLOW zero feedback bidders without some form of contact  before even MAKING a bid on their items.

Yet another example.

Notice this chickenshit motherfucker has bid over a thousand times(1067)  on over 715  items, yet never won one, and has withdrawn his bids (1067 of the motherfuckers, over a 6 month period), and that is only a 30 day total. 30 fucking days he pulls this shit, yet ebay actually allows him to be a member. Over 6 months to retract 1067 bids? How is this motherfucker NOT suspended or even kicked off ebay? I, also, suspect those 1067 retractions are for 30 days NOT 6 months, as this is SUPPOSED t obe a “30″ day total, not 6 months, thrown in for good measure. Note how the numbers match up. However, at 100 bids wothdrawn over a 30 day period, it still violates ebay rules. NO ONE poulls that shit without being a shill bidder , or just some stupid kid bidding and withdrawing his bids, becaus ehe is afraid of actually winning some high priced item. Looking at this guys history, he  only wins 1 and 2 dollar items, so that should tell ebay ‘s (stupid assed, idiot motherfucker) people something.

the answer: MONEY!!!!! ebay’s bottom line……….

I have left negative feedback for some motherfucker and ebay had banned me several times, for just  negative feedback, so how does this son of a bitch get away with this shit?

He HAS to be an ebay employee, period, or something extremely similar. Otherwise he has violated every rule in ebays books, and ebay is knowingly leting his get away with this shit.

When you see all those bids, especially by the same buyer, just jacking up the price, stay the fuck away.

As I stated earlier in this article REAL ebay bidders KNOW not to bid on ANY item until the last few seconds, because some jackass motherfucker will ALWAYS come in and jack you up and yet, never go OVER your bid.

Ebay’s feedback policy is a fucking joke.

I recently was selling some fucking ram, no less fucking RAM!!! on ebay and refused to sell to a certain buyer. So when he paid, I immediatley refunded his money and relisted the item.

The dumb fuck was actually aloowed to leave me negative feedback mbut wehen I left a negative remark in HIS feedback, ebay removed it. What kind of fucked up shit is this?

He wasn’t allowed to buy my item, yet he was allowed to leave a negative remark in my profile.

The stupid motherfucker, also has an illegal email address (doesn’t work), which is against ebay policy, yet they allow him to pull this shit. Talk about heads up their ass!!!!!!!

I withdrew everything I was selling, and refuse to sell on ebay ever again. I don’t care if I have to throw the shit away, it isn’t getting listed on fucking ebay (or craigslist…read about that elsewhere on this shit).

IT took an act of  fucking congress to get the stupid motherfuckers at ebay to sto ptrying t oicharge me a “final value fee”, because I refunded the dip shit his money 100%.

This shows you what dumbass motherfuckers you have to deal with at ebay. And YES, the dumb motherfuckers have their “contact staff” in FUCKING CHINA”!!!!!, So oy uhave to fight the badly broken english, just to get the motherfuckers to understand you and you them, in the first fucking place. Ebay will try everything inthe fucking book to get you to get fucked.

I don’t doubt this is one reason the stupid fucks were bombed at  their office in California. And  hats off the the motherfucker who did it. Hopefully it will send a fucking message to the fucks at ebay, to stop fucking people over, and I hope the person who did it gets away with it. And, hopefully, too, the FEDS get the mesaage about how ebay is fucking  MILLIONS americans over and over again, and doing it with impunity. How are these motherfuckers allowed to keep their money in offshore accounts, anyway. If WE do (you and me) we have the government  barking up our ass. These motherfuckers just keep getting away with it, day after day, week after week, month after month year after year. WHO THE FUCK have they paid off in our gonverment to  look the other way?

Now…………………

REAL auctions make you bid OVER the original bid, or your bid isn’t accepted, period.

Even “Bids By Proxy” have certain rules they must adhere to.

Those RESERVE price auctions, are ALWAYS said or told UPFRONT. They NEVER make you GUESS at what some idiot wants for their trash. NEVER!!!

bay breaks ALL the rules that every auctioneer in the United Staes must stick to, or loose their license.

So How does EBAY get away with their shit? How do they keep from getting audited evary other day, for fraudulent sales and tactics. How are they allowed to MAKE or FORCE sellers t ouse paypal as a service, or to use a CREDIT CARD, when they can spend cash just as well. I used to use postal money orders, until ebay banned the practice, because they couldn’t collect their fees from people using cash. And then when you use credit cards, they have the chance (and they do it) to abuse your credit card, charge things back to it, at their discretion, and then YOU have to go to your bank, file against them in order to collect your money back, and that can takes months.

I, personally, sold a guitar amplifier to a buyer in California.

This amplifier was used ON STAGE by several musicians, up until the day it shipped out, so it’s condition was a no brainer. It was in perfect, unsullied,  unmolested condition period.

They removed the collectible speakers in it, replaced them with some beat up copies, marked with red fuingernail polish oin the speaker terminals (which a REAL tech never does because positive and negatives are ALWAYS and ALREADY marked on the terminals at the factory) actually rewired it inside, WRONG, removed the tubes from it ands sent it back as no functioning. Ebay and paypal, in their infinite stupidity told me I had to refund their money.

I refused, sent them pictures (which, buy the way were posted in the original ad on ebay), of it’s condition the day it was shipped out, and they still told me I had to refund their  money, which I never did. I, also sent them pictures of the damage they inflicted on my amp, but these people are dip shit idiots and wouldn’t know a goddamned thing about electronics if it hit them in the fucking face. I, also, again, sent them WRITTEN statements from the musicians who used the amp up unti lthe day it left my shop. Again, they ignored the truth, and emailed me (they wouldn’t talk to me personally, because they are chickenshit idiot bastards) and told me I would have to refund their money.

Fuck them and the stupid assed horse they rode in on.

I went to my bank and told them ,in writing that ebay and paypal should have absolutely no access to my account, and close my ebay account.

They banned me, yet never close my account. What the fuck was this about? Keeping my acount open? How fucking stupid ARE THEY?

I kept the amplifier, which I still have, and replaced the collectible (hard to find original issue celestion g-10 60 watt) speakers at an expense of 240 dollars, rewired the amp back to it’s original condition, and replaced the tubes (at a cost of another 80 bucks).  And told them to go fuck themselves. The little shit o nCalifornia thought they would get away with this shit, but they didn’t, and I had the last laugh. I got their money and the amp, to boot. I just spent hat they paid on getting is restored back to it’s condition before it weas shipped to the fucking idiots.

This is why ebay wants control of your paypal account.

Recently, they told me they would allow me to sell 1500 dollas worth of stuff (after a year of  wrangling on my new account, which I opened right after they pulled this shit…I could care less really). The kicker was, they weanted to give me 1500 dolalrs worth of credit, yet wanted access to 330,000 (yes three hundred thousand) dollars worth of access to my bank account through paypal. I shut that shit down, within minutes. 1500 dollars worth of credit for 330,00 worth of access, my ass. The most they could draw for 1500 worth of credit (both ebay and paypal combined) was 255 dollars in their fucked up fees.

They can kiss my motherfucking ass if they want to pull that shit. Talk about an excuse to abuse an account. What a bunch of fucking idiots. Who, in the fuck, in their right mind would give these fucking idiots to that much money from their bank account. A pretty goddamned stupid motherfucker, that’s who.

Who the fuck does ebay think they are?

My last line is this “caveat Emptor” or Buyer beware. Especially of ebay’s shit.

Wanna get fucked? Try to buy or sell anything on fucking ebay.

West Texas Boys Ranch….Beat ‘Em if You Got ‘Em

Their moto is supposed to be “Don’t brand a boy, Build a Man”, however, that is NOT what actually happens at this god-forsaken shithole of a place.

It should be “Send Your Little Shitheads to US, We’ll Brand the Shit out of Them FOR You, So You Don’t Have To…Beatings Are OUR Way of Life.”

Located 2 miles from Tankersley Texas, and just a few miles down the road from Goodfellow Air Force Base (in one direction) and 3 miles(maybe 2 miles)  from 3-river’s dam (in the other direction), this shit hole is in the middle of nowhere, and sits along Spring Creek. It is also 2 miles (up stream, down spring creek), from Foster Park, which is on the road (take FM 2335, from Highway 67 and then to highway277) from San Angelo, towards Christoval, a well known swimming hole. The road to the ranch has been renamed Boys Ranch Road, but I would name it the Highway To Boys Ranch Hell.

Circa 1967, 1968 ,and part of 1969, I was at this shithole of a place, and beating was part of the game, as was intimidation, and fighting.

I had my share of being bullied, pushed around, and made to fight, and then have the shit beat out of me, for it. One of the  biggest bullies, died of some sort of horrible death, in a shithole house for the decrepid and dying, and I hope this jerk off pigfucker is rotting on hell, getting back what he gave, in spades. His name was Doug Vandiver, shitass, fucking bully, extraordinaire. His brother Johnny, was just as bad, but I got bigger than he did, and he couldn’t whup my dick, if he has a threshing machine. Doug’s partner in crime was Haley Heildelberg (otherswise known as Elmer Heimnerberger at  the ranch), who is now a supposed builder in this town, these days. I wouldn’t trust this asshole if he was the last builder on the planet, knowing his reputation, from his earlier life (stabbing, fighting, and bullying anyone he could). The thing I remember about Elmer is, he always started flexing his jaw muscles when he got pissed, trying to intimidate all he could with this bullshit. He couldn’t intimidate my dick these days. I know better, and know how to stop this jerk off pigfucker.

When I first arrived at this hell hole, Ol’ Doug and Elmer, were not the big boys on the block and were shown they weren’t,  several times, by the like of Bobby Diaz, a golden gloves boxer, and Ol’ “Stubby”, who later joined the marines. (note: Stubby, came back to the ranch ,after being a marine, and tried to pull his “Marine shit” on us. Him being 20 years old or so, and we were just 14 year  olds. This shows you what a bully place this is, by reputation and fact.  And yes, I can name names, and times, and dates. They left an indellible impression on me. One I’ll never forget. Most, if not all,  of my Marine Buddies, are very laid back, when they come back from war and very humble. Not Stubby, he was a shit ass.

The man in charge was a man by the name or Charlie Price, who was well known for kicking any boy in the shins, and bruising them (even 8 year old boys), to show his authority, and that he was the undisputed  king of punishment. He was in charge, and kicked, I would say, every one of us 83 (in number) boys, at one time or another. All the time making sure HIS boys, never got picked on, or never got in a fight with one of us, because we would have loved dearly, to kick one of THEIR asses, and he knew it. He also, knew we would beat the holy shit out of one, if given the chance. Charlie’s claim to fame was that he had a “Cushman Eagle” , motorcycle, he would race around our 1/4 mile circle, and run over your ass if you got in the way, or kick you out of his way, either.  I remember one night he made us all get out of bed at 1 a.m. and run  around the circle, for hours, because he said someone had stolen a “bowling ball” from one of the other boys. This meant even the 8-12  year olds, who weren’t even close to our dorm  Well, it turns out, no one at  the ranch even HAD a bowling ball, much less someone stealing it, and he just wanted us to do this for his pleasure, and to excersize his control over us. We weren’t allowed to go bowlong or so anything else, unless the entire staff and boys went, too. And in 2-1/2 years I never saw anyone go to ANY bowling alley, much less own a fucking bowling ball. We weren’t actually allowed to own jack shit, much less something like a fucking bowling ball, unless we built it. And no one built a fucking bowling ball, bowling alley, or anything similar.

After ol’  Charlie, either got tired of the ranch, or got canned (I don’t remember), this fella named Kenneth Howell, who used to be supervisor, came  back, and he was the worst of the worst.

This was the motherfucker who at age 40, beat the shit out of me and several others, and we were  just 14 years old.

Here’s the REAL story. I know, I was the one who got the beating of my life.

In spring 1968, we were on the bus to go to school in San Angelo, Texas, when one meskin boy named “Juan Morales”, decidee to attack me on the bus. He simply got up, came back to where I was sitting, on the bus, and knocked the shit out me in the mouth, making my mouth bleed. Back to his seat he went, like he was king dick, thinking I would do anything, because he had 2 older brothers on the bus, also. So I got up, went to his seat and kicked him in the mouth, as hard as I could, telling him, he was a dumb fuck. Well, all shit broke loose and he came back to my seat, bleeding and started taking blood from his mouth and slinging it all over me and the 2 bully boys Doug and “Elmer”. Well, oh shit, now he did it, and the bus driver pulled over, and made me, the only one, get off the bus , 17 miles from the ranch (remember I am only 14), and start walking back to the ranch. That was 17 fucking miles and I was only fucking 14 fucking years old. When the bus driver got to town ,he called the ranch and told them to be expecting me, like I was going to get there any time soon. Doug and Elmer were pissed, to say the least, and started plotting their revenge then and there. Poor little assholes had to have blood spots on their shirts …which by the away I ironed every fucking day for them, along with their levi’s, with a startched crease, every fucking day, for 2 fucking years, so I wouldn’t get my ass beat by someone bigger.

When I got back to the ranch, there was the mighty asswipe Kenneth Fucking Howell ,and our dorm supervsor SY Hester (and his wife Alvie), waiting on me, and the bus driver had told them it was all MY fault…I started it, and other bullshit. Right then and there he told me he was going to leave it up to the boys for my punishment, especially Doug and “Elmer”. I kind of doubt this, but that is what I was told would  happen. So I thought, since I had “paid” for protection, not much would happen, but that was dead wrong.

A few days later, one of Morales’ older brothers challenged me, out back of the kitchen, after breakfast, and when the fight started, here came his 2 brothers. Jumping in to see if they could whup my ass too. They were pulled off by Gene and Bill Turner, (2 older brothers at the ranch) and had their ass beat, for trying to gang up on me. I beat the shit out of Morales’s big brother, but that wasn’t the end of it. They were determined to beat my ass, so the very next sunday, before church, the oldest and fattest Morales brother, decided he was going to attack me after I was already dressed for church, in the dorm living room. He started his stupid assed bobbing and weaving like a stupid meskin will, trying t ointimidate me, and I told him to take the first punch, holding my hands to my side. He rared back, and when he did, I let loose with one punch that sent him backwards, and through the living room couch, and it broke the couch. I tolds him to “get up”, by the chickenshit stayed down, until we were broken up by other boys, and eventually the dorm parents. At least everyone who saw it told them I didn’t start this shit, but I damned sure finished it. That punch, also, ripped the back of my Dress Coat, and it had to be replaced.

Again, after about a week, here came Kenneth Howell, telling me to meet him in his office, as they had decided what my punishment was going to be. As a second note, the Colonel of Goodfellow Airforce Base’s daughter was our secretary at the time and witnessed this next part.

After calling me to his office, he then told me I was going to have to take “licks” as my punishment, and then proceeded to beat the shit out of me 24 licks with a paddle, made from a sawn baseball bat, with 3 holes down the middle, the one hole in the middle bigger than the other 2. THAT’S 24 LICKS WITH HALF A BASEBALL BAT, UNTIL MY ASS WAS BLEEDING NOT ONLY THROUGH MY UNDERWEAR, BUT THROUGH MY LEVI’S, which had to be peeled from my ass, as the blood was making it stick to my ass.

Yes, I was crying my eyes out. How would YOU like to get this kind of a beating at age 14, by a 40 years old man, swinging as hard as he could, to drive home his “lesson”. The dorm parents, SY and ALVIE, took me inside their house at the end of the dorm and she rubbed some kind of horse liniment on my ass, to try and not only stop the bleeding, but make it heal , or heal faster. It burned like shit, and I had to sit on this ass for weeks until it healed. As a suide note to our so-called dorm parents, Sy and Alvie, they were well known for making you sit under a trash can and smoke a pack of cigarettes, or worse, smoke some cigars, with your hands tied behind your back, if they caught you smoking. Not only did I have that done to me more than several times, but I witnessed it happen to  many boys,  and all the time they were laughing. Your eyes are burning, you’re caughing like hell, you can’t breath, you have drool dripping from your  mouth, and you’re soaking wet from it, and you can’t stop it, until THEY say so. Nice people huh?

How would you like it if this even came CLOSE to happening to YOUR child. Funny how they never told my mother about this punishment and she only found out, years later, when I told her about it. My uncle Marvin (Rest in peace), came to see me, a few months later, and when I told him about it, he had words with our dorm parents, and Mr. Howell, and a few months later I was let out, to go home. I am sure my uncle Marvin had much to do with it. At least I hope so, and have thought so, all these years. He was a good christian man. I , also had told one of my benefactors Harvey Hartgrove, and I think he may have had somethig to do with my release, too. Harvey was not only a good man, but he was a GREAT man, who taught me many things, I remember to this day. He lived on west Twohig street in San Angelo, and had a large ranch in Paintrock, Texas. He used to take me to his house, for weekend visits and gave me a pair of his sons, white and brown shoes, called oxfords. I wore them out, I liked them so much. I have never gotten to meet his son, who I would dearly love to tell him about the great man that was his dad, who would take me to church, and to Howard Johnson’s, on some sundays, to eat. We used to take them bucket fulls of sheep dip (sheep nuts), taken from that weeks marking and branding sessions at the ranch, not to mention “Mountain Oysters, otherwise known as bull balls. They actually had many customers who liked to eat those, but I never did. I thought eating them was gross.

I found out later (before I left the ranch) that Kenneth Howell had done this before, when he was supervisor, the first time he worked at the ranch. Beating the shit out of another 13 year old, with the same paddle, the same number of licks, years before. Apparently Mr Howell liked to beat kids. Maybe this kept him from beating his own kids, who knows. I only know he deserved the same thing being done to him or one of his kids. Now days, it is called child beating and is against the law, no matter who does it. Maybe one of Doug’s kids or Haley’s (Elmer’s) kids should have it done to them. Not by me, but someone who finds them breaking a law or 2. Doug is dead, thankfully, and Haley/Elmer would shit in his pants.

I, also, found out that the ranch’s corporate supervisor Morris Craig, had sanctioned this, because he had been told I was a fighter. Funny how they never mentioned him finding out the other 83 boys were fighters, too, and I only defended myself. He had told someone that I had fired a 22 rifle towards the dorm, and almost hit him from the pasture, as he stood near a cedar upright in from of one of the dorms. And it is funnier still, how those fucking idiots didn’t question this, as the front of the dorm faces AWAY from the pasture(s) we were allowed to hunt in, and there were several walls of cinderblock seperating the pasture from the front of the dorm. Funnier still is the fact that the pasture was more than 200 yards from the dorms, making him needing super keen eyesight in order to tell it was me, or anyone else, even IF a shot had occurred. The motherfucker wore cokebottle thick glasses, too. He thought he was god, when he was just another child beating jerk off pigfucker.

Oh, how I would like to find his kids and give them a taste of their own fucking medicine. No apology can make up for what I have had to live with, especially those memories.

So, let your kids go to West Texas Boys Ranch, and have their ass beat, too, like I did.

Don’t brand a boy build a man, my ass. The only thing they taught me, is not only to hate, but that I wanted desperatly to beat the shit out of one of their kids, to show them how it felt. I stil ldo, to this day.  I lived all my years with animosity towards almost every single one of those jerk off pigfuckers. If I could find their graves, I would piss on them. If I could find them, I would look them in the face and ask them if they remember the one they beat the shit out of, when he was just 14 fucking years old, and they were 40, and see if they live through the heart attack.

Those motherfuckers, to this fucking day, have never offered an apology of any kind, even though they have been told about it, and can look it up, which tells you something about how they are, and what they are about. They are all full of shit, and about themselves and what they can gain by it. All the pictures they show you are full of shit, and staged. Those kids writing stories about how nice it is, are staged, and written by kiss-ass motherfuckers, often called “brown nosers”, because they have their nose so far up someone’s ass it has brown shit on it.

I listed enough names in this article, that they would have to be stupid as shit, not to be able to look up, when this all occurred, and the  fact that it DID occur.

You read their website ,and it is full of shit, I gaurantee you. I’ve  been there……I know.

I hope each and every one of those fuckers are either rotting in hell, or about to. You know damned well, when they DO die, they will surely rot in fucking hell, right beside old DEAD DOUG.

As a last note, I heard Gene and Bill Turner did good for themselves, and I wish them all the best one could offer up. If they ever, in this lifetime read this, remember ol’ Sugar, Spice, and Honey, our pet squirels. Without you guys, they would not have had the life they did. I appreciate what you did for me, and always will.

There were several others, such as Billy Mauldin (my blood brother), Cyril Clay, and his younger brother, ol’ Little Stubby, Gilbert Uregas and several others I would like to say thanks to, for helping me along the way.

I will always remember Shorty Prendez, the best indian teacher, ever to live, and he ran our laundry, and taught me many lessons, on hunting, and how to treat animals with respect.

To RIO B. DAY (the best chef ever), who not only taught me how to cook, but to be good at it. Rio could cook anything and make it a gourmet meal. Former navy chef, chef for the governor of Colorado and owner of one of the best diners around Lubbock, ever in this life time.

A special thanks to Danny Branum (old peg leg), I hope you made it along for a while, at least. He showed us what it was all about, by just surviving, during a time when we were all thinking about ourselves, and not people who really had it hard,  like him.

To the Morales Brothers, I would like to say “fuck you“, you stupid fucking motherfuckers.  I hope you died early, and went to hell long with old Doug.

Obama’s Agenda: Overwhelm the System

By Wayne Allyn Root

Rahm Emanuel cynically said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.” It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

– Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

– Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”

– Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

– Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

– Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.

– Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.

With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.

RadicalRob adds “For Sale” category

I take no fees, and add no values to what you want to sell.
I will accept no ads, for now, and will not present any ads, on your pictures, or listings

However, spamming assholes will be deleted and black-listed.
Commercial sales will be deleted. I am not a platform for your commercial bullshit.

List it once and see if it sells.
ALL posts will be deleted after a certain amount of time, to be determined by me.
Any bullshit about religion or whores or other bullshit, will be deleted, period and you will be blacklisted.

I am not responsible for what you post, although it will be watched and deleted as neccessary.

People who buy items from this list, are taking all of the risk by contacting you, so if you are found to be a thief, we will post your name, address, picture and whatever else we can find to stop your thieving ass. Although I cannot stop someone from emailing you spam, their entire ip will be blocked if I am told about spam, and if you will send me their email “@whatever.com”, .net, whatever). They will, also, be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Live.com will not be able to post here, as well as linkedin.com, hotmail.com, craigslist.com, and several others I have already deemed to be major spammers and bullshit artists.
Links to other sites will, also, be deleted.
We will do all we can to stop thieves, and scammers from posting on this site, but use it at your own risk. Most posts wil be deleted after 30 days. Some may be allowed to stay longer. We ask that you delete you post if and when your item sells, and not do your work for you, keeping up with your shit. It is not my job to take care of your shit, for you, and if you make me do it for you, too many times, I will black list your entire isp.
By using this service, you automatically agree to my terms, or be blocked, peroid, no exceptions.
Anyone posting shit about personal services, will be blocked.
Posting about firearms, will be tracked, and reported, if found to be illegal.
I suggest you do ALL firearms deals through a registered broker or FFL dealer.
The same about jewelry, gold, diamonds, etc.
Use a Reputable dealer to do the brokering for you.
They may take a fee, but won’t, usually, fuck you over. They have a reputation to maintain
If you find an item you would like, along those lines, then contact the dealer(s) and have them look at the ad, or item for you, BEFORE you buy it.

if you post more than once, all of your ads will be deleted, as multiple posts are tantamount to spam.
Once again, post at your own risk, sell at your own risk, buy at your own risk.
If someone fucks you over, get their contact information and contact the authorities.
Better yet, find the bastard(s) and kick the shit out of their thieving fucking ass.
If you list something for twice or more of it’s value, new, (and we’ll look it up, with due dilligence, to make sure it deserves the marker)then I will add a marker, that will denote this as a bullshit listing, as I don’t like people trying to rape other people for a pile of shit cheap item. This will let potential buyers know, to look elsewhere for the same item at half your price. Such an item would be some jerk trying to sell a fender squire, as an american, mexican, or japanese made fender, as these are a dime a dozen, people buy them for their kids, and I have seen jerks try to pass these off as better than the regular made fender guitars. Another instance would be someone listing a Gibson guitar, and then when you read it, it is a fucking epiphone. Some epi’s are very nice, but if you don’t SAY it is an Epiphone, in your title, it’s going to either be deleted or marked as a bullshit ad. Same thing with “Gibson STYLE, or Gibson TYPE. If it isn’t a Gibson, then say so. If it is not a fender, then by god, say so, or it gets tagged or deleted.

Remember, this is a national listing, not local, so either be ready to ship, or state that you will not ship, or will not ship to certain states, areas, or whatnot, and how much you are going to rape them for shipping it to them.
I am not ebay, nor am I paypal, nor does any of this go through my hands.
I say…fuck paypal, and do business the right way, in cash, or through a broker of some kind.
Western Union is going to rape you the most, and I would advise staying away from them.
Your bank will do bank transfers, and will hand you cash from your account.
Paypal, although it is owned by bullshit ebay, at least has some protection.
There are other services as well, which I wil provide links to, in the future.
Bitcoins are, also a good bet, and there are brokers out there to handle them, also, usually for a fee.
I may or may not, also, provide that service, in the future.

Caveat Emptor…buyer beware. ALWAYS……

If enough people post, we will try and make categorized listings.

There are other catagories for your bullshit. Post that shit there and not in the for sale catagory.

For Sale : Entire Collection of Guitars and Amplifiers

Craigslist Sucks & They Know It

Ever try to contact craigslist?

It cannot be done.

If you try and contact them, all you get is a robotic answer, and it is ALWAYS, “please read the website”.

Like all you have to do in life is read their stupid website.

What are these fucking idiots at craigslist and just what do they actually do for a living?

Luckily Craigslist.org is loosing customers fast, and I hope they die a horrible death.

Some one ought to slap the shit out of the CEO & the owners of CL, just to let them know we ALL think they suck like a vacuum cleaner.

If they say something back, just refer them to their own website for help.

These guys, actually solicit money for causes (their own, I suspect), so any time you are contacted by CL, for anything, just refer them to your own site and it’s help section/pages.

Don’t give them anything else. In fact, send them a bill for harrassing you,  on your private time.

These people think they are smug and resistant to anyone and everyone, like ebay thinks they are. (but that’s another story, read about it here)

I, for one, get sick and tired of my ads, put on CL, legally and according to their own “rules”, yet some dipshit, always flags them off, within minutes.

I recommend Craigslist Software | Zion Master’s Suite

for getting rid of everyone else’s ads but yours. Hell, if I can’t post, no one can. It’s THEIR attitude, so by god, adopt it, use it, and let them have it.

If they are going to piss you off, them by god, piss THEM off. The saying goes “If you throw enough shit against the wall, some is bound to eventually stick”. Hopefully the dipshits at C: wil lget the fucking message.

I think EVERYONE should have a FCL tee-shirt. If you are asked what it means, tell them. It means FUCK CRAIGSLIST. If you can’t find one, then make one, or get someone to make one for you.

Craigslist is responsible for murderers, whore, thieves, and all kinds of other scum bag motherfuckers, and CL could give a rats ass.

Craigslist flaggers are the  lowest form of scum sucking jerk-off pigfucking assholes on the planet. Who the fuck do they think they are?

If I knew one or know one, I would certinly tell how I feel, right to their stupid fucking idiot assed face, and hos fucked they have to be to be pulling this shit.

These people think they are some kind of king dick censor and everything they do it right and YOUR not.

I think they are the biggest bunch of stupid fucking asswipe motherficking cocksuckers on the planet, with the possible exception of who the fuck is running Ebay (the biggest bunch of  fucking thieves on the planet). (HEY Ebay, why are all of your accounts OFFSHORE and why don’t the Feds come after your stinking ass?)

And along THOSE lines…. who the fuck is Live.com and why do they attack everyone who posts ANYTHING on CL. Just list something on craigslist and see  how many responses you get from the asswipe cocksuckers at live.com. Just like linkedin, they have absolutely NO fucking use in our society, PERIOD!!!! They are just a bunch of fucking idiots, trying to take advantage of everything and everybody

They’re god-damned sure not God, or they wouldn’t be doing this shit, for sure. (would you?…fuck no, I would be king of the fucking world, turning everything  I touched into gold, sending Obama straight to hell, along with George Bush and a few others I can think of, who are destroying (and have destroyed) your way of life, and lying, cheating and stealing along the way.) George Bush is so fucking paranoid, he had his house in Texas declared a “no fly zone”. Dickhead Chaney, is so paranoid, he won’t even leave his house.

Bottom line is this:

Fuck craigslist.org and the stupid fucking horse they rode in on.

Queen – Brian May

Brian May built his guitar when he was 12 or something. Freddie Mercury’s voice is one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizeable voices in music, and so is Brian May’s guitar.
