Dear Sir:

Franklin NH resident Corporal Dimond, until recently serving with the NH National Guard in Afghanistan, was killed by an IED (improvised explosive device). He will never see his wife or four children, nor they him, not ever again.

The first dead body that I saw on the battlefield was the body of a young German soldier. When I saw him, I felt stunned, to realize that he would never again see another sunrise or experience anything else that occurs in life. Others who have had a similar experience tell that the first time they saw the body of a soldier, lying dead out on the battlefield, they too were stunned. My rifle squad had 300% casualties while I was serving in it. The dead from my Division are buried in Hamm Cemetery. General Patton is also buried in Hamm Cemetery. I have been there. I have seen the 5,000 crosses there. Captain McCrae wrote about WW I, “Between the crosses, row on row”. I too have seen the “crosses row on row”. American dead are something that is deep down and personal with me. I hate it when I see them swindled of their lives; and their sacrifice squandered so the Members of Congress can get more dollars in campaign contributions from those who have billions of dollars in profits from our being at war. In addition I think poorly of those who participate with them in that swindle.

Corporal Dimond was under orders. For those in the Military the “orders” are, “Die Trying”, and thousands of our military, have, “died trying”. It is Congress who is responsible for giving out those orders. The Oath of Office for Congress is, “support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; so help me God”. When they fail to keep their oath, they not only have failed the American people, they have also failed the Third Commandment, because in addition to failing the American people they also took the name of God in Vain, they blasphemed God.

Iraq and Afghanistan have major minorities in their populations. Congress violated its oath of office when they set up a “majority rule democracy”.  (Their oath required them to set up a Constitutional Republic, which includes protections for the minority). (A democracy is the worst from of government ever invented because under “majority rule”, there are no protections for any of the minorities.)

Congress also wrongly set up a National Police Force. National Police Forces have always resulted in Dictatorships. Between setting up a “democracy” and a National Police Force, Congress has insured that Iraq and Afghanistan will continually be a recrudescent problem. (“Recrudescent” a cruddy type of skin infection that keeps coming back again and again.)

Ever since 9/11/2001, the actions of Congress have been thoroughly evil. If the current set of incumbents and previous incumbents are elected, the actions of the next Congress will be so evil that most Americans will certainly regret having voted for them.

Those members of Congress, who since 9/11/2001, have swindled those men of their devotion to our country and squandered their lives, should not be re-elected.
Sincerely
Robert Kingsbury
Libertarian Candidate for US Congress, First District

Portsmouth Herald

My name is Robert Kingsbury. I live in Laconia, NH.
I am the candidate for the US Congress in the First District for the Libertarian Party.

In issues specific to Portsmouth and the Portsmouth area:

1. I support the US Constitution Article I, Section 8,
“The Congress shall have the power … item 13, To provide and maintain a navy.
During WW II our Navy had 1,600 ships. Some years ago we gave away the Panama Canal.. The last I heard, China now has effective control of the Canal, so we again need a two ocean Navy.

Our Navy has been reduced to about 250 ships. (Since we have over 300 Admirals, we have more Admirals than we do ships.) In addition, Navy ships are being scrapped faster than new ships are being built.

Our potential enemies, (Algeria, North Korea and Venezuela for example) have about 260 submarines, many of them recently ordered and quite new. (“Combat Fleets of the World, US Navy Institute 2003”) It takes about 5,000 oil tankers making constant round trips to deliver the imported oil on which our nation runs.

Our Navy requires enough ships and airplanes to protect those 5,000 tankers as they deliver oil to our Nation. (We do have the money, and I can tell you where to find it.)

2. Our Navy is scrapping submarines that have a substantial number of years left in their useful lives. I would ask that those submarines be turned over to the Coast Guard and based in Portsmouth as rescue vessels for rescues in the “Perfect Storm” (wintertime northeasters). They could also be used at other times in duties normal to the Coast Guard.

3. Drilling for oil. The Gulf of Mexico has about 4,000 oil wells. The underwater structures of those oilrigs provide artificial reefs for young fish. After the Oil wells were installed in the Gulf, the commercial fishermen reported catching ten times more fish. So with oil wells off the shores of New England, we would not only get some relief from imported oil, our commercial fishermen would get a catch that is ten times larger than it is now.

Best regards,

Robert Kingsbury

Dear Sir:
I am a decades long subscriber to ENR. Recently, numerous articles in ENR tell us that global warming is a problem and that global warming comes from carbon dioxide in the air. (The “greening” response to global warming is highly beneficial to the public and should be continued, but not the carbon dioxide part.)

Reportedly, carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming.  Manufacturing is a main producer of carbon dioxide; therefore eliminating carbon dioxide will eliminate much of our manufacturing. Almost all of the goods that make life comfortable, from heat in the winter to air conditioning in the summer, to a roof over one’s head, to clothes on one’s back to transportation to and from work, all of that comes from manufactured goods. All manufacturing requires power. Almost all power comes from burning either coal or oil, the burning of which puts carbon dioxide in the air. However ENR is an engineering magazine. ENR is written for engineers. Engineers work with numbers. So I ask, what are the numbers involving the presence of carbon dioxide in the air ?

So, lets us look at the numbers. Air weighs about 29 grams per cubic meter. Water vapor is often a major component in air. Water vapor weights about 14 grams per cubic meter, or much less than air itself. Therefore water vapor rises until it gets cold enough to start condensing into droplets of water at which point the condensed water vapor forms easily visible clouds. When the clouds get big enough the droplets of water congeal to form rain (or snow, or sleet, or hail. Solid water being heavier than air, the rain, etc., falls to earth.

By comparison to water vapor; carbon dioxide is much heavier than air. Carbon dioxide weights about 44 grams per cubic meter or about half again more than air’s 29. Just as water vapor must go up, gaseous carbon dioxide must go down, towards the ground.

Carbon dioxide is soluble in water at the rate of 171.3 grams per 100 cubic centimeters.) The amount of carbon dioxide that can dissolve in water depends on the surface area of the water. Raindrops form so small a sphere that rain drops have an enormously large surface. Therefore a small amount of rain can dissolve large quantities of carbon dioxide from the air. Any carbon dioxide that is dissolved in rain falls to the earth and is productively used by vegetation for plant growth.
Based on my “back of the envelope” understanding of the chemistry of water and air, it seems impossible that carbon dioxide could cause “global warming”.

Dear Sir:

For the past hundred years, those in our armed services have won all our wars on the battlefield, but:

Our politicians lost WW I at the Peace table,
Our politicians lost WW II at the Peace Table
Our politicians lost Korea at the Peace Table
Our politicians lost Vietnam at the Peace Table.
Our politicians lost the First Gulf War at the Peace Table.

Currently our politicians are again giving away the battlefield victories we won in Iraq by installing a “Democracy” (which is the worst form of government ever invented), by installing a “Parliament on the British model”, (which destroys any limits on governmental power); by installing a National Police Force, (which destroys freedom for all citizens).

We could still win the Peace in Iraq because; with a Constitution similar to ours, the minority rights of the Kurd and Sunni minorities could be protected. By installing a “Congress”, like ours, which has, rules that state “Congress shall make no law” (violating the rights of a minority), and by installing a police force with all police powers at the local level, (as the 9th and 10th Amendments do in our Nation).

Since we are the only ones at the Peace Table we can still win this Peace. The Peace for Iraq will be won, or lost, in Washington DC. The first step in winning the Peace is to elect some new faces to serve our Nation in Washington DC.

Sincerely,
ROBERT KINGSBURY

Attorneys are the Referees of Life, and as such they cannot both be referees and “play the game”

Attorneys are the referees of life, as such they cannot both Referee and “Play the Game” without the appearance of favoring one side over the other.

Therefore it is wrong for an attorney to hold governmental office outside of the Court System.

It did not use to be that way, because in the old days lay persons could and did serve as Judges and as Attorneys. That all changed with the adoption of the “Unified Bar’ in 1969, with the elimination of lay judges in 1981 and the addition of (the substituted for other wording and never voted on wording of) Part II, Article 73a which says, “The Chief Justice…shall make rules…The rules so promulgated shall have the force and effect of law.” These three changes eliminated the ability of an attorney to do anything but to referee the problems of life.

For an attorney to hold office outside of the Court System, is like a New York Yankee player calling balls and strikes in a ball game with the Boston Red Sox. All ball games have a number of close calls. With a Yankee player masking the calls, even if they did a perfect job of calling balls and strikes, no Red Sox fan, or player would always agree that a close call was also a fair call.

As a result, attorneys and their spouses, should not hold office outside of the Court System.

All kinds of “conspiracy” theories abound. There is the now out-of-date communist conspiracy theory, the “mafia” conspiracy, the “old boy” conspiracy and others.

One conspiracy that is never mentioned is the “hand in the cookie jar conspiracy”. This one starts when a 5-year-old boy watches his mother bake cookies and put the cookies in a “cookie jar”. Then when no one is looking, the 5-year-old pushes a chair to the counter, climbs up on it, and grabs cookies out of the cookie jar. The child had nothing to do with either getting the ingredients for the cookies, or of baking the cookies, so “putting one’s hand in the cookie jar” is a form of “stealing”.

When those 5-year-old boys get to be adults, far too many of them continue to grab cookies out of the “Cookie Jar”, thus making themselves members of the “COOKIE JAR CONSPIRACY”. The “COOKIE JAR CONSPIRACY” holds no meetings, and there is no “membership” list. However, the “members” recognize each other and do all they can to protect each other’s cookie grabs. As Congressman Tip O’Neil said about the “cookie grabbers” in Congress, “You go along to get along”, and so the cookie grabbers “go along” with each other.

While “grabbing cookies” sounds like child’s play, the overall impact on prices due to “cookie jar grabbing” is damaging, very damaging. For example, in the 1950’s I bought a new house for $12,500 today a similar house costs about $350,000. Essentially all of the increase in housing costs (and the costs of every other item in the economy) is due to “cookie grabbing”. “Cookie grabbing” occurs when “no one is looking”.

The solution to cookie jar stealing is to “start looking” and to keep looking.

The Bataan Doctor and Easter

The Japanese captured over 24,000 young healthy Americans on Bataan. Included in that group of Americans were a dozen or more Doctors (every Battalion had a Battalion Surgeon). One of the “Bataan Doctors” (who by 1960 was a Pediatrician in Detroit) was called to testify to Congress in 1960. He started off his testimony by saying that when he graduated from Medical School, he was a “typical Medical School Atheist.”

In their three years of Japanese captivity, the Bataan Doctors saw over 13,000 of those healthy young American Soldiers die. On averages, that is about one death, every working hour, for every day of the week, for all 150 weeks, in those three years. All of them dying in agony from one form of Japanese mistreatment, or another.

This (formerly Atheist) Bataan Doctor testified that the American soldiers who had kept the faith (with the other Americans) that about a half hour before they died, that all forms of pain left their faces, that an expression of joy came over them, and that they had a view of where they were headed, that there was a life after death., and for those who kept the faith, a glorious future life.

One the other hand, he said those Americans who had betrayed their fellow Americans (such as betraying escape plans to the Japanese, causing the deaths of those Americans, for an extra bowl of rice or other small favor), Those betrayers died with a look of terror on their faces of the view (of the next life) to which they were headed).

Next Sunday is Easter. Easter is a celebration of a new beginning. This Easter, a new beginning is available to all who would wish to have a new beginning. This Easter, why not begin to “keep the faith” (with the Americans whom our Nation has sent into harms way and to their possibly violent untimely deaths.) Why not sustain things American and begin to set aside anything and everything that leads to the betrayal of Americans?
