IS IT TRUE that after we posted the afternoon edition of IS IT TRUE yesterday disclosing that borderline threatening messages were sent from the Civic Center to the City County Observer that exactly THREE additional comments came from that IP address for the rest of the day?…that prior to posting regarding that situation people with aliases posting from the Civic Center were posting at a rate of about a post per 10 minutes?…that we were asked later why we did not take this to the sheriff yesterday?…that the answer is because yesterday’s threat was not personal and not explicit?…that there have been other threats in the past that were personal, explicit, with times and places included?…that such threats will always be taken seriously and turned over to law enforcement but that generic threats against the CCO in while annoying are about 99.9% probable to just be someone that we profiled for malfeasance that hopes to shut us up?

IS IT TRUE that Mole #42 tells us that the Indiana 8th District Democrat Central Committee chaired by S. Anthony Long has publically come out in support of all of the Democrat candidates in the City of Evansville elections?…that Mr. Long as the 8th Federal Congressional District chair is a higher ranking official than the helter skelter band that supposedly manages the Vanderburgh County Democrat Central Committee?…that Democrats and Republicans alike continue to look upon the antics of the Vanderburgh County Democrat Central Committee with amusement and disbelief?…that the pantomime that seems to never end started with BoothGate, and included FloatGate, EndorseGate, The Manifesto of The 23, ChickenGate, CentreGate, False ReportGate, and ScreenScraperPictureThiefGate?…that we are sure that the final curtain is nowhere close to falling and that there are at least three more Gates to be discovered before outside forces come in to clean out the sandbox?…that we thought about calling the failure to pay the bills BillGates but decided not to do that to the founder of MicroSoft?

IS IT TRUE that one of the largest bankruptcies in the history of the United States happened this week and that it was not as publicized as some were back in 2008?…that MF Global whose chairman and CEO Jon Corzine pulled some of the similar old tricks that started the financial meltdown and melted down?…that Mr. Corzine was the Governor of New Jersey before losing to Governor Chris Christy and is somewhat credited with the financial mess that the State of New Jersey has had to deal with?…that President Barack Obama made a special flight aboard AIR FORCE ONE to New Jersey to make a couple of pleas and speeches in an attempt to persuade the people of New Jersey to re-elect then Governor Corzine?…that if the Occupy Wall Street crew wants to be timely in their chants and marches that MF Global and Mr. Corzine would make a better object for their affections than the Port of Oakland or just some generic bank or any stuffed suit strolling down Wall Street?

IS IT TRUE that locally a well known purveyor of high tech ice cream has also sought bankruptcy protection after a 4 year fight with their bank?…that the parent company of Dippin Dot’s that is headquartered in Paducah, KY filed for reorganization protection after Regions Bank started the foreclosure proceedings?…that Regions was one of the banks profiled for being an early adopter of the DEBIT CARD FEES that has to date inspired over 1 Million customers to close their accounts at big banks and move their business to credit unions?…that the City County Observer applauds capitalism and the choices that it offers?…that as long as there is healthy competition in every basic need that usury tactics will be struck down by the market?…that if there was one monopoly bank that were regulated as utilities are that we would all be paying much more in FEES because the IBRC (fictional Indiana Bank Regulatory Commission) would not have the common sense to see through the smokescreens presented by THE BANK?

IS IT TRUE that whatever “The Trend” is sounds interesting but must have 3 year olds designing their ads?…that if they want people to watch that a time, place, channel, and duration may just get butts in seats or viewers in front of a TV set?…that it was a nice looking ad with an interesting topic (Vectren Rates) but there was no information with respect to how one could attend or watch?…that we are unfortunately not surprised?

IS IT TRUE? November 4, 2011

IS IT TRUE that a few relatively nasty and borderline threatening messages were sent to the City County Observer today?…that they were borderline so we did check the IP address from which the messages came?…that the IP leads directly to the Civic Center?…that when we investigated further with respect to general postings that have been placed on the CCO from that same IP address that low and behold there are 540 posts from a total of 36 different posting aliases coming from the Civic Center?…that much of these posts are very recent?…that we do appreciate the traffic but are curious just how much public money is being spent right now to pay people who are posting from the Civic Center?…that we expect that the same cast of characters are spending at least an equal amount of time posting comments on the Courier and Press My Turn section?…that we encourage our posters to confine their posting to breaks and lunch time as taxpayer dollars should be spent on work?…that whomever sent the threat will get one pass but if that shows up again we will turn the IP chain over to the sheriff to deal with it?…that we have had to do this before?

IS IT TRUE that we would like to thank and congratulate the Evansville-Vanderburgh Drug Task force and the DEA for the silent work that lead to the destruction of a major crack cocaine operation?…that law enforcement does not always get the recognition that they deserve and that we wish to commend all who participated in this operation and the families back home who support their efforts?

IS IT TRUE that in our effort to become more and more efficient and increasingly predictable and reproducible in our day to day living that we often discard thoughts and actions that are outside of the bounds of mainstream norms?…that if we pass the same pile of garbage or rubble everyday that our minds actually paint the garbage into our expectations of acceptable reality?…that after a while we do not even recognize the things in our lives that are profoundly ugly or beautiful?…that goes for most of the people but not for everyone?…that there are people who see through the clutter and succeed in living outside the box?…that people tend to love their boxes so much that they treasure life inside the box?…that some people never accept a boxed in way of living and even in death cheat the box (casket) by choosing an alternative way of disposing of a now useless body?…that Albert Einstein summed it up very eloquently when he said the following?

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”
~ Albert Einstein

IS IT TRUE that the places in this world that recognize what Dr. Einstein calls “the gift” of an intuitive mind and reward such gifts always seem to do much better than those that seek the path of the drone?…that we encourage our readers to drone when you must but be as intuitive as your mind will let you?

IS IT TRUE for those who are questioning the use of pictures that the City County Observer fairly uses for the purpose of reporting the news so as to justify using an un-owned image themselves for a purpose that that picture was never intended for, in a distorted format that diminishes the value of that picture, should familiarize themselves with the “FAIR USE” laws as they apply to news outlets?…that the CCO shall “continue to report news under protection of the fair use act – and will willfully remove any images if a request is made by the owner through a cease & desist order”, as we have on one previous occasion?

IS IT TRUE that under Article 50 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) requires that signatory countries enable courts to remedy copyright infringement with injunctions and the destruction of infringing products, and award damages.”?…that one way to remedy the unauthorized use of a piece of intellectual property is to demand for the destruction of all of the unauthorized copies of the material?
