Rip it down...

REALLY?!?

A cross atop Mount Soledad in California is an unconstitutional religious display on government land and must come down, a federal judge in San Diego ruled. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ordered the cross, which honors veterans, must be removed within 90 days. A bill directing the Pentagon to transfer the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial and its controversial cross out of the hands of the federal government was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Duncan Hunter. Many other war memorials incorporate religious symbols, he said, and Mount Soledad should not have to remove the cross that the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled is an unconstitutional endorsement of the Christian religion on federal property.

Malibu. If people want a creche, fine.

The menorah a few hundred yards away is fine, too. I do not like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.

I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way.

Where did the idea come from that we should worship presidents, politicians, money and greed and aren’t allowed to worship God as we understand him? I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where the America we used to know went to.

This reminds me (Richard Matz, publisher of The Military Press) of these two stories by Ben Stein (lawyer, publicist, columnist, CBS TV commentator) and Billy Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lutz.

not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautifully lit-up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are — Christmas trees. It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say ‘Merry Christmas’ to me. I don’t think they’re slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. I shows that we’re all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn’t bother me one bit that there’s a manger scene on display at a key intersection at my beach house in

HEALTH

Anne Graham Lutz:

While interviewed on the Early Show, Jane Clayson asked Anne, “How could God let something like this happen?” (regarding Hurricane Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, “I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave

us alone?”

In light of recent events (terrorist attacks, school shootings, etc.) I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn’t want prayer in body our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school; the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself; and we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s grandson committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he’s talking about.

And we said OK. Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with “WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.” Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through email and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely

THE NEW PARABLE OF ...

...the ant & the grasshopper Here are two versions of the same parable with different morals.

Old version

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

Modern version

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while

he is cold and starving. CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green ...’ Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group. President Barack Obama condemns the ant and

blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid exclaim in an interview on The View that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscat-

ed by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. The entire nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2014 and 2016.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am shocked and appalled at the cartoonist picture of your Commander in Chief and the disparaging remarks in your Jan. 1, 2014 edition. That is traitorous. YOU are a disgrace.

— From Beth Mocklin-Davis via Facebook

Reply from the Publisher

Beth, I respect your opinion.

Naturally you have a right (free speech)… but so does the Military Press. As far as being traitorous… we feel that If any Administration — Democratic or Republican — covers up the killing of American personnel as they have in Benghazi, the leader should be Impeached or the responsible party should be exposed and fired. Wouldn’t you think that this act is more traitorous than a mere photo?

‘Lone Survivor’: From a Marine Corps spouse perspective Firstly, no spoiler alerts but if anyone has yet to see this movie please do!

Ladies, do not think this is just another ‘war-manly-movie’ because it’s not (even though Mark Walhberg is enough reason to watch). If you or your loved one has sensitive PTSD triggers, be forewarned and research the reviews a bit. For the civilian masses, it’s an excellent display of what our military today endure. I became so enveloped and invested in this movie to the point of being shocked, speechless and moved to tears.

What was even more relevant as a military spouse was how it portrayed a tidbit of the spouses’ perspective of war in the movie. No, spouses do not pick up rifles, endure the physical or mental hardships or enlist like the service members do. What we do see in “Lone Survivor” is their ladies’ unwavering and dedicated love and strength to these men while waiting at home.

As Marine Corps spouses, we take classes to acclimate ourselves to this lifestyle and learn everything possible, from military lingo to traditions and customs of holidays and events. We try to keep family informed of big deployment changes, send packages and necessary equipment or motivational photos to make our service members feel

New rapid response program for California vets Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) has announced expansion of its Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP) to the Los Angeles and San Diego areas to support California veterans.

RRRP is a new approach to supporting post-9-11 veterans by directly con-

necting them and their families to local resources and to one-on-one support with IAVA’s Veteran Transition Managers. It helps cut through red tape and proves vets and their families access to services ranging across employment, education, housing, mental health care and more.

STORAGE

California veterans face a number of critical challenges. More than 400,000 veterans are stuck in the VA backlog, including about 10,000 each in the Los Angeles and San Diego Regional Offices and more than 12,000 in the Oakland Regional Office. Suicide remains a top concern for new veterans: at least

22 veterans commit suicide every day, and a new study has found that the suicide rate among young male veterans rose by 44 percent in the past three years. New veterans are also now facing a cut to their retirement as a result of a bipartisan budget deal.

Veterans can contact a RRRP case manager by calling 855-91-RAPID (855917-2743), emailing transition@iava. org, or visiting www.IAVA.org/RRRP.

Stateside Tricare service centers closing April 1

All stateside Tricare in-person service centers will be closing April 1, Tricare officials recently confirmed.

The closure of the 189 facilities is expected to save the Defense Department about $50 million a year, officials said. The Tricare Service Centers, which handle about 137,000 visitors a month, are staffed by contractors and handle issues ranging from processing provider changes to billing problems.

“The change will not -- let me repeat that -- will not affect any Tricare medical benefit or health care service,” Army Col. Steve Warren, a DoD spokesman said in a statement. “What it will do is allow the department to save $250 million over the next five years, allowing Tricare to invest in more important services.”

All of the services currently dealt with by service center staff can be currently handled exclusively over the phone, they said.

Over 50 wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans from across the country are expected to par-

ticipate in the May 2014 camp, and as in previous years, the SDDTA is working with local businesses, disabled sports clubs, community support organizations and individuals to cover all participants’ airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, tennis equipment and instruction.

Sabbaticals may help military keep women in ranks

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — Navy Cmdr. Valerie Overstreet wanted to start a family. But her job as a Navy pilot and the fact that she and her husband, also a naval officer, were stationed in different parts of the country made it complicated.

So she decided to take advantage of a fledgling Navy program that allowed her to take a year off and return to duty without risking her career or future commands.

Now, three years later, she’s got a 2-year-old daughter and a 9-month-old son, she’s back at work at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., and her promotion to captain has been confirmed.

For Overstreet, the year off gave her precious time to have her daughter and get started on her master’s degree.

The Navy retains an officer it considers promising without requiring her to sacrifice her family life.

Across the military services, leaders are experimenting with programs that will give valued officers and enlisted troops, men and women, the incentive to stay.

Bills open military to some illegal immigrants

Lawmakers meeting with military recruiting officials recently said they support efforts to open up the armed services to men and women who were brought into the country illegally, but as children.

Reps. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., and Jeff Denham, R-Calif., both have bills that would give this group of men and women a chance to serve and go on to legal permanent residency and apply for citizenship, the Congressmen testified at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee’s military personnel panel.

Denham said he joined the military at 17, while still in high school. In the military he met a number of Filipinos who joined up and later became citizens.

Veteran groups worry cuts to retirement is only first step

By Leo Shane III Stars and Strips WASHINGTON — With Congress back this week, veterans groups are vowing to resume their fight against trims to military retirement benefits.

But what they’re really fighting for is relevancy, and to make sure the country hasn’t forgotten about them.

Military advocates worry that Congress’ willingness to attack veterans’ retirement checks shows that lawmakers — and perhaps the public — have already moved on from the wars of the last decade, and that the sacrifices and promises made will be forgotten.

“This is what happens when you have an unengaged population whose focus starts to shift away,” said Tom

Tarantino, chief policy officer for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

“When times get tough, people say everyone has to sacrifice. But not everyone has been sacrificing for the last 10 years.”

The cut is a 1 percent trim on costof-living increases for working-age military retirees. Veterans 62 and older won’t see any changes. But those younger — including medically retired servicemembers — will see their annual increases trimmed starting in January 2016.

The move will save about $6.3 billion over 10 years, and was included as part of a budget deal designed to avert another government shutdown.

Lawmakers who backed the deal be-

moaned the military retirement changes but said fixing the problem later was preferable to jeopardizing budget harmony now. At least 14 separate bills to repeal the cut have been introduced in the two weeks since the deal passed.

In the last week, editorial boards at USA Today and the Washington Post have called the veterans’ opposition out of touch, noting that the military’s generous retirement benefits aren’t comparable to any private sector pensions. The Post called it a “dishonor” not to change a military retirement system long overdue for an update.

But veterans groups argue that work is underway, in the form of a compensation commission reviewing large-scale changes to military pay and benefits.

The Navy’s acting undersecretary resigned under pressure from Navy Secretary Ray Mabus following allegations of sexual misconduct with a subordinate, Pentagon sources said.

Mabus asked for the resignation of Robert Martinage, who has been serving as undersecretary of the Navy since last June, “following a loss of confidence in Martinage’s abilities to effectively perform his duties,” Mabus’ office said in a statement.

Mabus acted after allegations surfaced that Martinage had engaged in inappropriate conduct with a woman who worked for him, a Pentagon source said.

World’s dirtiest man, literally

By Sumitra www.odditycentral.com Eighty-year-old Haji believes that “cleanliness brings him sickness.” That’s why he hasn’t bathed at all in the past 60 years. He lives in isolation in Dejgah village, in the Southern Iranian province of Fars.

Haji hates contact with water. Even the suggestion of a bath makes him very angry. And all these years of escaping bath time have taken their toll – Haji is almost the color of earth. He has managed to completely blend in with his surroundings. In fact, it’s easy to mistake him for a rock statue if he sits very still.

It’s not just bathing that Haji dislikes. His disgust for fresh food and clean drinking water is unmistakable.

Instead, he prefers his favorite meal of rotten porcupine meat. He drinks 5 liters of water a day for health purposes, but only from a large rusty oil can. He likes to fill his smoking pipe with animal feces instead of tobacco. To trim his hair he doesn’t use clippers; he just burns it off over an open flame. An old war helmet keeps his head warm during the winter.

Haji doesn’t really have a house – the earth is his home. He lives in a hole in the ground, much like a grave, to keep him grounded and in touch with the reality of life. Sometimes he sleeps in an open brick shack that the villagers constructed for him out of pity. Locally, he is known as Amou Haji. ‘Amou’ is the Farsi term of endearment for a kind old man.

Haji’s lifestyle of choice is very unique. The villagers say that he had suffered severe emotional setbacks in his youth, which led him to make these extreme choices. Even so, he does seem a lot happier than some people who live in large homes with comforts and conveniences. Haji doesn’t seem to have a care in the world. He has noth-

ing to lose, nothing to fear.

Makes you think about what’s really important in life, doesn’t it?

Haji isn’t the only person in the world who hates bathing. Two years ago, we wrote about Kailash Singh, an Indian man who hadn’t taken a bath in 38 years.

SHOCKING EVIDENCE SHOWS IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED

Did Adolph Hitler escape?

Conducting interviews on this topic is the author of Hunting Hitler: New Scientific Evidence That Hitler Escaped Germany, Dr. Jerome Corsi. Everyone knows Adolf Hitler committed suicide by gunshot in his underground bunker on April 30, 1945. At least, that has been the conventional wisdom.

Now comes WND senior staff reporter Jerome R. Corsi’s new book, “Hunting Hitler: New Scientific Evidence That Hitler Escaped Germany.”

Examining declassified FBI and U.S. military intelligence files, Corsi makes a compelling case that U.S. investigators suspected from the beginning Hitler had escaped. For political purposes, the evidence indicates, they were willing to go along with the cover story that in the final days of World War II, Hitler married his mistress, Eva Braun, and the two took their lives in a joint-suicide ritual just before the Soviet army entered Berlin. But the truth is, no one actually saw Hitler commit suicide. There are no photographs documenting a joint suicide of Hitler and Eva Braun, and the bodies of the two were never recovered or preserved for positive identification. In 2009, Corsi pointed out, Nicholas Bellatoni, the Connecticut state archaeologist, was allowed by the Russian Federation State Archive in Moscow to examine skull

fragments the Russians have claimed for decades are proof Hitler committed suicide. Bellatoni’s startling findings prompted Corsi to investigate further.

“What caused me to question Hitler’s suicide was Bellatoni’s DNA analysis that proved conclusively the skull fragments belonged not to Hitler, but to a 40-year-old woman unrelated to Eva Braun,” Corsi said. In “Hunting Hitler,” Corsi posits Hitler made his way to Argentina with the help of U.S. intelligence agents that had been secretly working with the Nazis since 1943.

Allen Dulles, then an agent of the Office of Strategic Services, or OSS, the predecessor agency to the CIA, was communicating secretly with top Nazis from his office in Bern, Switzerland, Corsi said.

Corsi brings to light many troubling questions, including: • Why were the Americans unable to obtain physical evidence of Hitler’s remains after the Russians absconded with his body?

• Why did both Stalin and Eisenhower doubt Hitler’s demise?

• Why did nobody in Hitler’s bunker hear any shots fired?

• Did U.S. intelligence agents in Europe, including the OSS and Allen Dulles (who later headed the CIA un-

U-530 purported to be the type of vessel in which Hitler escaped.

der President Eisenhower), aid Hitler’s escape, as they did with so many other Nazis?

Argentinean media reported Hitler arrived in the country and it continued to report his presence. Why have the findings not made it to the US? Corsi relies on autopsy reports, interrogation transcripts, documents from Soviet archives, CIA reports, extensive research in the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., and in College Park, Md., and more to back up his case.

Did U.S. intelligence help Hitler get away?

His evidence is shockingly abundant, and his clear argument lends credence to a new theory that disembowels the double-suicide narrative. “The

story Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide was a cover story, designed by U.S. intelligence agents at the end of World War II to facilitate the escape not only of Hitler and Eva Braun, but also of top Nazi war criminals such as Adolf Eichmann who was discovered in 1960 hiding in Argentina,” Corsi argued. He presents documentary evidence Allen Dulles’ wartime mission in Switzerland included helping Martin Bormann, Hitler’s secretary, to funnel billions of dollars of Nazi ill-gotten financial gain out of Germany and invest in the U.S. and Argentinian stock markets to provide a financial cushion to survive in hiding after the war.

In the National Archives at College Park, Corsi discovered a clipping from the U.S. military newspaper “The Stars and Stripes” published Oct. 8, 1945, reporting a shocking statement made by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, then the supreme commander of the Allied Forces. The short piece read: “There is ‘reason to believe’ that Hitler may still be alive, according to a remark made

by Gen. Eisenhower to Dutch newspapermen. The general’s statement reversed his previous opinion that Hitler

CHARGERS REPORT

By Art Garcia In the end, the magical bus the Chargers were riding over the final six weeks of the season just simply ran out of gas.

Injuries, missed opportunities and a well-rested Broncos team with fresh legs ended the Chargers season that brought a renewed excitement to a fan base it had lost over the past four years.

Having to beat a Peyton Manningled Broncos team in their house twice in one season was a daunting task, but trying to pull off another playoff upset with many key players going down with injuries appeared highly unlikely – yet

A look at Free Agents

these Chargers nearly did it.

Playing through injuries throughout the season, the Chargers showed the kind of mettle that championship teams are made of. However, as good as this season turned out, the reality is this team needs a few of more impact players to regain the top spot in the AFC West.

With the Chargers expected to have little wiggle room within the salary cap in 2014, the team has some major decisions to make regarding the 12 unrestricted free agents scheduled to hit the open market once the league year begins March 11.

MOTORCYCLES

Donald Butler

Here is a list of six of the 2014 free agents that, in this writer’s opinion, should to be brought back next season.

Donald Butler (LB)

This is a nobrainer. Butler has developed into one of the top inside linebackers in the NFL over the past two years and his leadership on the field clearly puts his

re-signing at the top of the list. One only has to look at the performance of the defense when he is on the field to recognize his importance.

Rich Ohrnberger (OG/C)

With all the injuries along the offensive line this year, Ohrnberger proved his worth at both offensive guard and center. Telesco would be wise to re-sign the 6-2, 300-pound former Nittany Lion as insurance for starter Nick Hardwick who has suffered both a neck stinger and concussion in his 10th season as a Charger.

Chad Rinehart (OG)

Signed as a free agent last March, the 6-5, 321-pound Rinehart played a key role in keeping Philip Rivers healthy and opening holes for running back Ryan Mathews. His ability to play both guard positions and familiarity playing in offensive line coach Joe D’Alessandris’ system should earn him a roster spot.

Darrell Stuckey (S)

Voted Special Teams Player of the Year by his teammates, Stuckey was once again a terror on both the kickoff and punt coverage units as a gunner. He also proved his worth as a safety when both Marcus Gilchrist and Jahleel Addae went down with injuries.

Reggie Walker (LB)

Signed after spending his first four years in the NFL with Arizona Cardinals, the 6-0, 244-pound Walker started six games and proved to be a valuable spark on the defense. He finished 11th on the team with 36 tackles (30 solo); 3 sacks; 1 pass defensed and 1 forced fumble. He had 5 tackles in the Wildcard victory over the Bengals and his all-out hustle to tackle LeSean McCoy 70 yards down field that saved a touchdown in the Eagles game was one of the highlight plays in the Chargers season.

Seyi Ajirotutu (WR)

The Chargers signed the talented wide receiver to add depth to the receiving corps after Malcom Floyd was lost for the year with a neck injury. Despite his limited action at receiver, he caught the game-winning touchdown over the Kansas City Chiefs with 24 seconds left in the game. Along with CHARGERS, cont’d. on Page 26

Second opinion no better than the first

A patient has a sore throat and goes to a doctor to get treatment for it.

Doctor: Your tonsils got to come out.

Patient: I want second opinion.

Doctor: Okay, you’re ugly, too.

Just for Laughs Kid’s too smart for you

A little kid walks into a city bus and sits right behind the driver and starts yelling, “If my dad was a bull and my mom a cow I’d be a little bull.” The driver starts getting mad at the noisy kid, who continues with, “If my dad was an elephant and my mom a girl elephant I would be a little elephant.” The kid goes on with several animals until the bus driver gets angry and yells at the kid, “What if your dad was gay and your mom was a prostitute?!” The kid smiles and says, “I would be a bus driver!”

What is the answer?

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: “Now, students, if I stood on my head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the face.”

“Yes, sir,” the boys said.

“Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn’t run into my feet?”

A little fellow shouted, “’It’s because yer feet ain’t empty.”

How bad could it be?

A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, “Well, I’m a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?” The doctor answered, “Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it’s difficult to describe pain.” “I know, but can’t you give me some idea?,” she asks. “Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little...” “Like this?” “A little more...” “Like this?” “No. A little

You picked a fine time to tell me… Bob

After a long night of making love, the young guy rolled over, pulled out a cigarette from his jeans and searched for his lighter. Unable to find it, he asked the girl if she had one at hand. “There might be some matches in the top drawer,” she replied. He opened the drawer of the bedside table and found a box of matches sitting neatly on top of a framed picture of another man. Naturally, the guy began to worry. “Is this your husband?” he inquired nervously. “No, silly,” she replied, snuggling up to him. “Your boyfriend then?” he asked. “No, not at all,” she said, nibbling away at his ear. “Well, who is he then?” demanded the bewildered guy. Calmly, the girl replied, “That’s me before the operation.”

Still cray-cray

Dr. Leroy, the head psychiatrist at the local mental hospital, is examining patients to see if they’re cured and ready to re-enter society. “So, Mr. Clark,” the doctor says to one of his patients, “I see by your chart that you’ve been recommended for dismissal. Do you have any idea what you might do once you’re released?”

The patient thinks for a moment, then replies, “Well, I went to school for mechanical engineering. That’s still a good field,

good money there. But on the other hand, I thought I might write a book about my experience here in the hospital, what it’s like to be a patient here.

People might be interested in reading a book like that. In addition, I thought I might go back to college and study art history, which I’ve grown interested in lately.” Dr. Leroy nods and says, “Yes, those all sound like intriguing possibilities.” The patient replies, “And the best part is, in my spare time, I can go on being a teapot.

Rundown runaround

A woman goes to her doctor complaining that she is exhausted all the time. After the diagnostic tests showed nothing, the doctor gets around to asking her how often she has intercourse.

“Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday,” she says.

The doctor advises her to cut out Wednesday.

“I can’t,” says the woman. “That’s the only night I’m home with my husband.”

You had to ask

Boy: Baby tell me something that makes me happy and angry at the same time.

Girl: You’ve got a bigger one than all your friends.

Date envy

Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church… everyone looks at you in disgust, but deep down inside they want some too.

was dead.” Corsi asks why Eisenhower’s shocking claim has gone largely unreported in U.S. newspapers and history books even until today.

Was Hitler on the U-530?

Tracing Hitler’s escape route, Corsi found in the National Archives documentary evidence Hitler got to Argentina in a German submarine, the U-530 that mysteriously surfaced outside the harbor at Mar del Plata under the command of Otto Wermuth and his executive officer, Karl Felix Schuller, after having spent weeks making surreptitious drops of passengers along Argentina’s Atlantic shore.

Hidden away in the National Archives, Corsi found a U.S. naval intelligence report written July 18, 1945, by the Naval Attach in Buenos Aires who notified Washington there was reason to believe U-530 had landed Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun in the south of Argentina before the submarine journeyed on to surrender at Mar del Plata.

Corsi had newspaper reports translated of Hitler and Braun being welcomed by wealthy Nazi sympathizers among Argentina’s large German community. The Germans there had constructed a mansion hidden away in the dense mountain forests of Bariloche to provide the Nazi fhrer with comfort and security in his elder years.

Corsi writes: In 1943, architect Alejandro Bustillo, at the request of Ger-

man supporters of Hitler then living in Argentina, designed and constructed an elaborate resort residence for Hitler and Eva Braun, Residencia Inalco, located in a remote area between San Carlos de Bariloce Villa La Angostura, bordering the Nahuel Haupi Lake, outside the city of Bariloche, in the province of Ro Negro, Argentina.”

In southern Argentina in the region of the Andes adjoining Chile, he writes, “the surroundings and the Hitler residence were selected and designed to have a distinct feel of Hitler’s Obersalzberg retreat above the town of Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. Hitler moved into the residence in June 1947.”

Baby Boomers May Avoid Knee Surgery With Modern Arthritis Treatments Doctors say these two factors are the keys to knee arthritis treatment success and relieving pain without surgery

“That depends, there is no one That’s what many knee arthritis pain sufferers are saying about this technol- answer when it comes to medical conditions and knee arthritis is no different. ogy and treatment.

“We all know that countless lives That’s why, if you have knee pain, you are being saved every year because of should have it evaluated by a doctor early detection and better treatment of who deals with and treats knee pain cancer,” one of the physicians at Osteo every day,” stated the clinics director of services.

I believe we are having so much success at Osteo Relief plementation.

sufferers. This is similar to running your car low or without oil. Obviously, the sooner you put oil back in the car - the less damage will be done. That’s why some doctors feel early viscosupplementation gets the best results and is so important for avoiding surgery.

And the Doctors believe one of the most important factors for the success of viscosupplementation is making sure you are getting it into the joint space.

That’s why the doctors at Osteo Relief Institute use advanced imaging technology called a “C-Arm.” A C-Arm allows the doctor to see into the joint and actually watch the injection go where it is supposed to. Research shows that performing injections without digital imaging can result in missing the joint space as much as 30% of the time. If you had viscosupplementation treatments without advanced imagining and did not get good results - this may be why.

Can This Be Avoided? Total knee replacement is serious surgery requiring months of rehabilitation. Some doctors think modern treatments done early enough can keep baby boomers from going under the knife.

“If you have knee arthritis pain, viscosupplementation might be the answer you are looking for. The keys are to not wait, get a good evaluation from an expert and make sure advanced digital imaging (CArm) is used to make sure you have the best chance for success.” was the advice of the doctors at the Osteo Relief Institute.

Free Knee Pain Screenings Offered To Help Determine If San Diego Area Residents Qualify For Popular Treatment

San Diego area knee pain sufferers have limited time to claim knee pain screening to see if all-natural knee arthritis treatment might work for them If you qualify for this treatment, it might be one of the happiest days of your life.

That’s because, for the past year and a half, hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Osteo Relief Institute located in San Diego, California.

That’s when their specially trained doctors added viscosupplementation treatments to their already successful and comprehensive knee pain relief program.

Viscosupplementation is unique because - even though it is manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, it is NOT considered a drug because it is a natural substance with an incredible story.

Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Like “Joint Oil” Viscosupplementation works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance that contains one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb -

that big red thing on top of the rooster’s head. It is extracted from the rooster’s comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Viscosupplementation allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Can Supplements Do The Same Thing?

No. Glucosamine and chondroitin and other supplements are much different. You can only get this from a doctor and it often helps knee pain sufferers who got limited or no success from glucosamine and chondroitin. Beware of unsubstantiated claims made by supplements that claim to do what this advanced medical procedure does.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyaglan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up

to 30% of the time.” said the head of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual. Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time.

But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see.

They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one doctor.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for viscosupplementation treatments and the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 619-3774456 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your risk free “Knee Pain Screening.” The specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can only accept a

Advanced Medical Technology Can Make All The Difference: This advanced digital imaging called a C-arm allows doctors to see directly into the knee joint so treatments are precise and the Hyalgan actually goes where it is supposed to. Studies show that injections done without digital imaging can miss the joint up to 30% of the time. This is one reason Hyalgan or other Viscosupplementation may not have worked for you. Osteo Relief Institute uses this C-arm for every Hyalgan treatment.

limited amount of new patients each month for this screening - so if you are interested please call now. Your risk free screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

And here’s something really important - Viscosupplementation treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your screening today call 619-377-4456.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other antiinflammatory medications without success?

Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Suparz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

Everyone Wants Proof: In the artist simulated drawings above, picture #1 is a normal, pain-free knee.

There is no arthritis and the knee can move and bend freely without pain.

Pain - the red is a knee joint with painful osteoarthritis. Arthritis causes the joint space to decrease, grinding, stiffness, decreased motion, bone spurs, swelling and a lot of pain.

Successful Treatment - Viscosupplementation (blue) being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. This cushioning can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

For advertising information, call (858) 537-2280 • advertising@militarypress.com

Failed Treatment - the injection (and cushioning and lubricating material) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of Hologic digital imaging to guide the injection. This is why other treatments may not have worked for you.

If you answered yes to any of these questions - give Osteo Relief Institute a call and schedule your risk free knee pain screening 619-377-4456
