Thompson – The Liberty Bell passed through this place last Thursday morning, enroute for Philadelphia, returning from the Panama Exposition. Also everything in and around the stores in Thompson borough betokens Xmas, and anyone desiring to purchase Christmas gifts will do well to give the merchants here a call before going elsewhere.

Uniondale – The Gazette of Scranton, Kansas, states that A. l. Merrithew, a relative of Mrs. N. G. Dimmick, is building a large blacksmith shop in that town and it is said to be the finest shop building in the county.  Mr. Merrithew has many friends here who will be pleased to learn of his success. Also strayed or stolen, two pigs from the pen of Valentine Knapp. They are gone and the supposition is that they left with someone else.  Also a concrete bridge, spanning the Lackawanna, is being constructed by the State near Stillwater.

Lynn, Springville Twp. – The new blacksmiths, Welch & Smales, are very busy at this writing.

Montrose - For Christmas, full line of cut glass at Mahon’s cut glass works.  Buy direct and get factory prices. Also  Lake Montrose was completely frozen over for the first time, Monday morning.  Since that time the ice has steadily increased in thickness, and youngsters are anticipating enjoying same soon.

Brooklyn – The lord helps those who help themselves and those who help themselves to their neighbor’s chickens will need all the help they can get from that source if they get caught.

Birchardville – Lester Turrell has been circulating a petition to get the Friendsville stage reinstated.  This stage for many years was operated between Montrose and Friendsville and was a great convenience to the people of that vicinity, located as they are 10 to 15 miles from the nearest railroad.  The administration, in the interest of economy, discontinued the stage, the mail now being taken by rural route driver on No. 2.  The Friendsville mail had to go via Binghamton and owing to poor train connections, mail that was shipped from Montrose Friday morning at times does not reach Friendsville until Monday.  We hope the stage line will be re-established.

Franklin Forks – Franklin Forks Alliance, No. 131, will hold a “Bread Contest” in connection with their regular meeting in the Alliance hall, Wednesday, Dec. 15th.  Suitable prizes will be given.

Harford – Several from this vicinity attended the entertainment given by the Epworth League, last Tuesday evening, and we think if the “League” can render such fine entertainment, there is no need of Harford being called a “dead town,” as far as “Amusements” are concerned. Also in addition of the list of Revolutionary soldiers already published that are buried in the Harford cemetery, should be added the name of Dr. Comfort Capron, a surgeon in the Revolutionary army, who came to Harford in 1794 and died there in 1800, aged 56 years.  Dr. Capron was the first physician to locate in Harford and the second to locate in the county.  The Montrose Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution have sent a marker to be placed at his grave.
Clifford - The porch to Spedding’s hotel has just received the finishing touches.  It is a fine specimen of workmanship, done by carpenter Hinkley, and covers first and second stories.  It has a nicely paneled concrete base and the whole structure is just as fine as the carpenter’s art can make it.  Hinkley was both mason and carpenter.

Susquehanna - Mrs. Everett Gould fractured her arm while cranking her auto.

Lanesboro – The new rooms in the Methodist church will be opened and dedicated Dec. 1st.

New Milford – Glenn Lewis, the 13 year old son of Frank Lewis, was taken before Justice J. M. Brundage Monday evening, by the truant officer, for failure to attend school.  Upon promises by the boy and his father that hereafter there should be no cause for complaint, the justice allowed them to go.  There have been several complaints of “violations of the compulsory school law” and the faculty and school board are determined to remedy the evil. (From New Milford Advertiser)

News Brief:  The State has lately notified the farmers that the annual rebate of $4 for keeping a watering trough in repair will not be allowed.  As a result it is reported the farmers living along the road between Montrose and the State line towards Binghamton, have removed all watering troughs which makes it an inconvenience to travelers.  The automobilist finds it is often necessary to water his engine as well as the horseman to water his horses, but the autoists seem to be doing the most kicking.  The local auto club might take the matter up with the State Highway Department.

The Trial for the Murder of Jackson Pepper – On Saturday, Mr. Davies argued vigorously for a new trial for Eagan, and Mr. McCollum replied forcefully to his argument.  Judge Searle did not decide at once as to the knotty points raised, but adjourned court until 7:30 Saturday evening, at which hour the court room was well filled.  He announced that after due consideration, the application for new trial, in case of Eagan, was refused.  At this time Mr. McCollum, representing the D. A., stepped forward and said: “In cases of Com’th vs. J. James Eagan and Cornelius Shew, we move, your Honor, for judgment upon the verdicts against each of said defendants.” The Judge asked Eagan to stand up.  He did so and the Judge said: “The jury has found you guilty of murder in the first degree; have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon you?”  The doomed man quietly replied: “No sir.”  He was told by the Judge to sit down; soon was called up again when the Judge said: “You’ve been defended by able counsel and we feel you have had the benefit of every doubt; had we not thought so we would have granted you a new trial.  “The sentence of the court is that you, J. James Eagan (alias J. James Smith) be taken hence to the place from which you have been taken, within the jail of the County of Susquehanna, and from thence to the place of execution within the walls or yard of said jail, when the execution warrant shall direct it, and that you be hanged by the neck until you be dead.  And may God have mercy on your soul.”  He stood his sentence well, but asked for and drank a glass of water.  Shew was asked to stand up and asked if he had anything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him.  He replied “Yes sir.  I feel that a verdict of first degree murder I am not entitled to.  I took no part in the crime calling for first degree.  I do not deny being in the matter, but I did not lay the plans for the terrible crime in Rush, nor knew it was to be committed; If I had known it, I have not the heart to have gone into it; and I say now and always shall say, that while somewhat guilty in the matter, I was not entitled to first degree.  That is what I think, your Honor.”  He was told by the Judge to sit down for a few minutes, after which he was again asked to stand up, when the Judge said: “The learned counsel assigned to you have done all they could, and you have had the benefit of every doubt: and the court then sentenced him to be hanged in substantially the same words as above.  Shew sat down, looking quickly around towards Eagan as he did so, with a sickly smile, as though trying to suppress a sob.  The men were quickly led out of court, to the jail, to remain until further acts in this terrible drama in real life and court soon adjourned.  On the way to jail there was silence for some time, which was finally broken by Shew, who said; “Well, this is one of the things we read about, but never experience but once in a life time,” after which they chatted more or less till the jail was reached.  The date of execution will be set by the Governor.*  Lawyer Davies, in the meantime, expects to take Eagan’s case to the Supreme Court.  Jason Treadwell was the first man ever hung in this county, on January 13, 1825, below the Court House, near where the Dr. Vail office building now stands.  The hanging was open to the public and thousands of people came to it, some coming as far as 60 miles, from up in York State and elsewhere.  Treadwell was taken from the jail to the gallows in a cart drawn by two oxen.  The above article is the conclusion of a murder mystery that took place in 1898 in Rush Twp., Susquehanna County, brought to you in conjunction with “Susquehanna County Reads” program. 

*The first date of execution was set for May 18, 1899 but the governor respited the date for the purpose, as then given out, that the Board of Pardons might have further time to consider their cases.  However, their sentence was not overturned and Shew and Eagan were executed on Tuesday, January 9, 1900.

Occasionally, I receive a call from a police officer inquiring as to whether the Commonwealth can appeal a “not guilty” verdict issued by a magisterial judge in a summary proceeding.  The answer is the same whether it is a “not guilty” verdict issued by a magistrate judge in a traffic ticket case or a “not guilty” verdict issued by a jury in a homicide trial.  Under our Constitution, the government is barred from re-trying a criminal defendant – it would constitute double jeopardy.  The Commonwealth gets one shot – and one shot only – no mulligans, do-overs, or second chances – one and done.

Then a friend asked me how Oscar Pistorius, South Africa’s “Blade Runner,” could have an appellate court increase the grading on his homicide conviction.  If you did not follow the case (I barely did), Pistorius killed his girlfriend (Reeva Steenkamp) under bizarre circumstances – he shot her while she was behind a closed door in the bathroom.  The prosecution contended that the shooting occurred during the course of a domestic dispute and that Steenkamp had fled to the bathroom to get away from Pistorius.  The defense contended that Pistorius thought that there was an intruder inside the residence holed up in the bathroom and shot through the bathroom door because he feared for his safety.

The trial court convicted Pistorius of “culpable homicide” and he received a 5-year sentence, served less than a year and was paroled to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest.  The trial court apparently concluded that the prosecution had failed to prove the requisite intent, i.e., that Pistorius foresaw the possibility that firing 4 shots at pointblank range through a locked bathroom door with another human being on the other side would likely cause death.  The prosecution appealed this decision – something that the American criminal justice system would never allow the prosecution to do – arguing that the killing was intentional.

On appeal, the appellate court reversed the trial court’s decision – and increased the grading of the offense to guilty of murder – which is now punishable by up to 15 years incarceration under Australian law.  The appellate judge stated “as a matter of common sense, at the time the fatal shots were fired the possibility of the death of a person behind the door was clearly an obvious result.”  Absolutely, but any prosecutor, defense attorney or judge can tell you about jury verdicts that left them scratching their heads.

In the American criminal justice system, the prosecution cannot appeal a verdict which the prosecution believes was erroneous – the Double Jeopardy clause prohibits it.  If the Commonwealth disagrees with a verdict of a judge or a jury, there is no appellate mechanism to increase the grading of the verdict.  While the defense can attack on appeal a guilty verdict, the Commonwealth has no means to attack or challenge a not guilty verdict.

This is one of the reasons that the Pennsylvania Constitution was amended over a decade ago to provide the Commonwealth with the right to a jury trial – in addition to the defendant having the right to a jury trial.  For instance, if a defendant believed that he has a better chance of an acquittal with a judge – as opposed to a jury – then he can waive his right to a jury trial and proceed with a trial with just the judge.  Prior to the amendment to our state constitution, the Commonwealth had no ability to object to a judge trial.  In 1998, Article I, Section 6 was amended to provide the following language: “Furthermore, in criminal cases the Commonwealth shall have the same right to trial by jury as does the accused.”  As a result of this amendment, both the defendant and the Commonwealth have to agree to proceed to a judge trial – it can no longer be a unilateral decision by a defendant.

Thus, the Commonwealth has an equal say in determining who the trier of fact will be – either a jury or a judge – but if the Commonwealth feels that the trier of fact got the verdict wrong, there is no relief.  In other words, if Pistorius had received his guilty verdict from a trial judge in Pennsylvania (or anywhere else in America), the prosecution (and by extension the victim’s family) would not have been able to file any appeal to challenge the trial judge’s reasoning.  The case would have been over – the Double Jeopardy Clause would have prohibited any attempts to alter the verdict.

Countdown Calendars--Candy Canes—Homemade Fudge

ENJOY!!

Got heart problems? These antibiotics can kill you.

“Did my doctor call in a Z-Pak for me this morning? I have a cough,” said Mrs. Turner, 75. “Yes, he did,” replied the pharmacist. “But there is something I have to tell you.” The pharmacist knew Mrs. Turner had heart problems and explained to her that the Z-Pak, which contains the antibiotic azithromycin, can cause more damage to her heart.

Data from a large group of patients enrolled at US Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers support recent conclusions that treatment with the antibiotic azithromycin, also called Zithromax, significantly increases the risk of death and cardiac arrhythmia in the first 5 days of treatment. This risk was greatest in patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Azithromycin is overprescribed and is commonly given to patients who think they may have a cold or cough. It’s a waste of time and money for the patient. Veterans who received azithromycin had a significantly increased 48% higher risk of death and a 77% higher risk of cardiac arrhythmias in the first 5 days of treatment when compared with those treated with amoxicillin, a penicillin-related antibiotic. These higher risks did not extend beyond day 5, but the researchers point out that azithromycin is a short-course antibiotic typically prescribed for 5 days only. Want more numbers? A 2014 study revealed that nearly 50% of patients continue to receive antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics like azithromycin, for illnesses such as 'acute cough,' which may not require antibiotics at all. The study investigator stated. "If we assumed that 50% of the 40 million outpatient prescriptions for azithromycin written in per year were unnecessary, then based on the data, it may be reasonable to estimate 4,560 deaths – 1 in 10,000 – were caused by this antibiotic."

Similar risks were observed among patients treated with another antibiotic, levofloxacin (Levaquin), according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Levofloxacin is in the fluoroquinolone family which also includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and moxifloxacin (Avelox), and should be reserved for cases of severe pneumonia and other complicated infections. These antibiotics have been shown to significantly increase the risk of death and heart rhythm problems compared with amoxicillin. But this is far from the only risk. Levaquin, for instance, which was the best-selling antibiotic in 2010, faces thousands of lawsuits a year from people who have been seriously harmed after taking it. The reactions can be body-wide, impacting the central nervous system, musculoskeletal, visual and renal systems,

If your doctor hands you a prescription for a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, be certain that your condition warrants the risks that come along with taking these drugs. Fluoroquinolones have fluoride as a central part of the drug. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin that is poisonous to the brain. Drugs with an attached fluoride molecule can penetrate into very sensitive tissues. The fluoroquinolones have the unique ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, entering the brain and damaging the central nervous system. Many of these drugs have already been removed from the market due to their toxicity, and those that remain are riddled with strong warnings required by the FDA.

One clinical study showed that nervous system symptoms occurred in 91% of patients (pain, tingling and numbness, dizziness, malaise, weakness, headaches, anxiety and panic, loss of memory, psychosis). Musculoskeletal symptoms occurred in 73% of patients (tendon ruptures, tendonitis, weakness, joint swelling). These symptoms can occur soon after one starts taking the drug.

The pharmacist telephoned Mrs. Turner’s doctor and explained what the problems were with her Z-Pak. Both the doctor and Mrs. Turner agreed that she really did not need any antibiotic at all.

These drugs are thought to be particularly dangerous for children under age 18, adults over 60, and pregnant and nursing women, as well as people with liver disease or those taking corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). But, they are often prescribed for these groups anyway. Mrs. Turner now remembered that her daughter took her 16-year old daughter to the doctor for an ear infection and was given a prescription for azithromycin, even though she was not 18. This prompted Mrs. Turner’s daughter to dig deeper before giving her daughter the drug. Yet, many others are completely unaware that the antibiotic they've just been prescribed has been linked to such deadly side effects. They assume the antibiotics are safe for minor infections. They are not. Going to the doctor for an antibiotic? Read the prescription before you leave the doctor’s office. And ask the pharmacist for any more information he or she can give you.

The commission of a robbery is in progress. Were you aware of the crime? Did you notice it was happening right in front on your face? How are the criminals getting away with it? And what could I possibly be on about? They are doing all they can to convince you that no such thing is happening! Your pocketbook is being emptied; your standard of living is plummeting; your children’s opportunities for wealth creation and accumulation are being annihilated. For the good of humanity you will be expected to lower your expectations and pay much, much more for every necessity of life. You should feel guilty about how good you’ve had it. And just in time to alleviate your guilt the media promotes a slick antidote: government is here to help you and the “Climate Cronies” (my term, not theirs) will absolve you of your participation in the sin of anthropogenic global climate change.

But recognize that this is not really about “Global Climate Change.” It’s not about “Global Warming” or “Global Cooling.” It’s not about saving the environment, or saving the polar bears, or saving the world. Still, the Climate Cronies want you to believe that that is exactly what it is about—as this is the master mechanism which allows them to impoverish you and enrich themselves. The side-benefit, or perhaps “greater good” is that they also gain the power to micromanage every aspect of your daily life, even determining if you will live or die—at their pleasure, of course.

The Climate Cronies’ meeting in Paris is called COP 21 (Conference of the Parties). President Obama has called this the largest meeting of leaders in the history of the world. I’m certain President Obama understands his mission in Paris. He is to promote a carefully crafted narrative that will motivate you to surrender your cash, your rights, and American sovereignty. And you will obligingly surrender the afore-said items lest we suffer imminent calamity of catastrophic consequence. “No challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change,” said President Obama in his January 20, 2015 State of the Union Address to Congress. In that same speech he made the absurd claim that “14 of the 15 hottest years in history have fallen in this century.”

Well, it does sound as though the Climate Alarmists have an absolutely air-tight case, doesn’t it? Until perhaps one thinks about it! Absolutist statements that “the debate is over” and “all scientists agree” make it sound as if no one but a fool could voice opposition. Yet, science is never determined by consensus or flawed modeling; it is established on the basis of truth. You have to give the Climate Cronies credit for playing their hand beautifully for the last 25 years; but the problem is that just too many people are catching on to their scheme. While young people remain largely asleep, middle-aged and elderly taxpayers have gradually awakened to find that something is deeply amiss.

President Obama has made any number of incendiary statements during his visit to Paris. He’s alleged (in connection with climate change) that Alaska’s permafrost is burning, that “fish are swimming in the streets of Miami,” and that climate change poses the greatest risk to our national security. All of this is rubbish, much as is the misinformation and disinformation peddled for years by Climate Cronies hoping to cash in on gullible taxpayers. (Note: Alaska’s tundra IS burning, but has been doing so for millennia; it has nothing to do with global climate change.) His administration spokesmen have, over the last year, insisted that climate change is responsible for terrorism in the Middle East—they need jobs, don’t you know! — and even more fantastically, that climate change is our number one national security threat. Uh-huh!

Here’s what the scheme really involves: the wealth of first-world countries will be transferred to third-world countries, while the gang of Climate Cronies skim off a huge percentage through the mechanism of “Carbon Exchanges.” Under this Rube Goldberg scheme (attributed by President Obama to Republicans in the administration of President George H. W. Bush—1989-1993), companies that pollute excessively would have to buy carbon credits—at the Carbon Exchange—in order to pay for the right to pollute. More “efficient,” i.e., non-polluting companies would be able to sell their carbon credits to the polluters. Carbon credit proponents claim this scheme is a “free-market” solution for green-house gases (read: water vapor). In fact, it’s a scheme to increase prices for every consumer, while re-directing carbon taxes (tribute) to the politically connected.

Sounds terribly complicated doesn’t it? But it’s really not! It’s an ingeniously evil plan. The “efficient” companies are those which produce energy by way of solar, wind, and geo-thermal sources. Readers with long memories will recall that for years the federal government has been involved in subsidizing such “efficient” companies to compete with carbon-based (coal, oil, natural gas) energy industries. Just recall Solyndra, and the various other GSE’s (Government Sponsored Enterprises) which have been beneficiaries of government largesse. GSE’s all too typically privatize (government-subsidized) profits while socializing losses onto the back of tax-payers. It’s a scheme in which Cronies can never lose, but most certainly taxpayers can never do anything but lose.

Solar and wind power producers are so inefficient in comparison to carbon-based power sources that they can only exist on a commercial basis if subsidized by taxpayers—or if the carbon-based power producers are hobbled. Hence, the invention of the idea that CO2, a naturally occurring gas excreted by every human, is a pollutant which must be regulated. Rising CO2 levels actually promote a greener earth, not one hurtling toward death.

The U.S. Congress has consistently declined to declare CO2 a pollutant to be regulated by government. In fact, majorities in both the House and Senate are in favor of stopping the EPA from its weird rule-making and imposition of rules on CO2 emissions. Because the Obama Administration not only supports, but empowers, the EPA’s “De-growth Agenda” the war on CO2 continues. (The De-growth Agenda is designed to reduce the “over-development” of America by de-industrializing what still remains of our economy.)

Circling back to COP 21 in Paris, we have world leaders devising a strategy to strip you of what remains of your wealth, your rights, and our national sovereignty. The only remaining dispute is how to implement the scheme while you gullibly accept the reduction of your living standards “to save the planet.” Any agreement which is voluntary is essentially meaningless. The agreement to come out of Paris must establish a system of coercion, i.e., international tribunals of world government which hold absolute power, albeit extralegal, supralegal, and consolidated. Tribunals of such fantastic power would operate entirely outside of our Constitutional system. They would claim authority superseding our Constitution and possess final and unitary decision-making from which no appeal could be made. Does that sound anything like a system respectful of due process, of one guaranteeing property rights and individual rights? It looks like Global Tyranny to me.

As much as the Climate Cronies’ scheme seems beyond belief, consider the fact that they are working hand-in-glove with the Corporatist Cronies’ who are working feverishly to implement three so-called “Trade Deals:” TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership), TISA (Trade In Service Agreement), and TTIP (Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership). Only some of the provisions of TPP have been made public (after being leaked by Wiki-leaks), but all of them are frame-works for corporatist global governance in which Sovereign States are subordinated—and ultimately destroyed—by multi-national corporatism. Mainstream media, and especially politicians, paint all three as trade deals that will promote free trade and capitalism. They are nothing of the sort. In fact, these deals are corporate fascism entirely complementary to the De-Growth Agenda and establishment of a Global Tyranny through Carbon Taxation.

The proponents of global governance have longed to make their “dream” (our nightmare) a reality. It was for this reason that the United Nations was formed in 1945. In 1950, in testimony before the U.S. Senate, Paul Warburg, one of the founders of the Federal Reserve and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, testified, “We shall have world government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.” In 1986, the UN devised a plan called “Our Global Neighborhood” to begin the process of regional mergers, with the ultimate aim of forming a global government based on redistribution of wealth. Global agreement on Climate Change, with the trinity of aforementioned “trade deals” are merely the consummation of this hideously evil conspiracy.

Readers of long memory may recall President George H.W. Bush’s other connections to the plan for global governance. His speech of September 11, 1990 predicted that the world was now on the verge of “a New World Order.” It was also he who signed on to the UN’s Agenda 21—the updated “Our Global Neighborhood” of its time—in 1992. When too many people caught on to the tyrannical implications of Agenda 21, the UN merely reformulated the concoction and minted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) under what it now called 2030 Agenda. Acting with chameleon-like deception, they progressively change names and redefine goals, hoping a confused public can’t keep up, or will remain distracted by “bread and circuses.”

The architects of global governance are growing more desperate day-by-day. The news media now report that global climate change “Deniers” must be prosecuted and punished. Yet, the truth of what the Climate & Corporatist Cronies have in mind for our future is becoming more widely known—and understood. Will we reach the tipping point of awareness in time? America’s future is on the line. We have been the victims of a massive hoax, ladies and gentlemen. A massive robbery is in progress and we are the “marks.” The crime can only be stopped by confronting the perpetrators directly and letting them know we know exactly what they are doing, and we will not tolerate it. The Constitution’s shadow is fading fast; we mustn’t let it disappear. Global carbon taxes under the aegis of a fascist global government are no solution to climate change. For those who slept through science class, the sun—not CO2—is the main driver of global climate change. Just take a deep breath; CO2 does not threaten you or anyone else.

As a post-script, I want to share one more item I came across as I researched the information in this article. Carbon-12, which makes up nearly 99% of the world’s carbon, is composed of 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons. Carbon is the building block of all life on earth. As such is it not just a wee bit eerie that the basis of a counterfeit system of global governance is a Carbon (6-6-6) Tax? He who has ears, let him hear.
