The Tampa Pirate first started boycotting Amazon back in February 2007 due to Amazon publishing, marketing and selling a pro-pedophilia book published by a known pedophile. Not only did they refuse, since then they have added other books to their line-up including for example “Understanding Loved Boys and Boylovers” and “Daddy’s Little Boy,” and a movie that shows the simulated rape of child called “Hounddog” now w
e have been given yet another reason to boycott them. Absolute Zero United has found information that one of Amazon.com’s employees is a very vocal pedophile and is a pedophile activist.

Brandon Low AKA Sanepenguin works as a Software Development Engineer for a web-based company

“I am a well respected engineer with my company.”

Brandon also happens to be a member of GirlChat and a proud pedophile

“I am a pedophile. In the sense that I can feel sexually atracted to prepubesecent children. Judge this as you choose.”

“2) I have spent half the day posting as “lostlogic” on Dr. Phil’s boards. That name is _CLEARLY_ linked to my real self, and I have linked my website on that site while stating that I am a pedophile

3) MY name is Brandon Low.”

Brandon, like most of the posters at GirlChat, has trouble understanding what’s wrong with adults and children having sexual relationships and talks about encrypting child pornography…

“what is wrong about an adult having a romantic loving relationship with a child? Please elaborate on this point.”

“Why should collections of child porn be destroyed? I see no reason for this as long as the holder is careful and maintains extremely high standards of encryption etc. ”

And here he sounds a lot like Lindsay Ashford’s “even babies can consent to sex” argument

“An infant may not be able to debate topics such as this due to a lack of experience and knowledge, however once a child has learned the basic faculty of language, they CAN make decisions about what feels wrong and what feels right. For that matter a child’s decisions about this will tend to be much more ‘correct’ when you get right down to it than an adults, because their decisions are not biased by years of being told what is right and wrong and told how to feel by society and the media. This is the point that I’ve been trying to make in my posts… that children KNOW what they want and KNOW what feels right.”

I suppose Brandon probably doesn’t have to worry about hiding anything, at least not financially; You see, the online web-based company that employs him is none other than Amazon.com, as in pedophile-books-for-sale-amazon.com.

Amazon.com, the same company that sells children’s toys and children’s books also, it appears, panders, supports and protects child molesters. So when will you finally stop giving them your money, or is getting a good deal worth selling your soul them? I chose to protect my child and yours hopefully you will join me.

You can contact Amazon.com with concerns about their employment of a proud pedophile, the sale of books promoting child abuse, and their position on child pornography through the following channels:

Join the boycott! Show your support and raise awareness by placing the following banner on your website:

Its interesting that the world is outraged over the Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, yet there is no condemnation of Hamas. Hamas haphazardly fires missiles into Israeli territory at civilian targets and once Israel fights back they are the ones being condemned. Hamas is a terrorist organization plain and simple. While Israel was honoring the cease-fire Hamas launched occasional attacks, built tunnels to Egypt and rebuilt their stockpiles.

I wonder how many of us would show restraint if one of our neighbors constantly kept hitting us, robbing our family and damaging our home. After a while you fight back. I support Israel and hope that the world will stop pandering to terrorists and Islam.

Press TV

“The issue (of Israeli atrocities against the innocent people of Gaza) must be followed through Interpol by officially summoning those responsible for the attacks,” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday during a session of the Iranian Cabinet.

Hamas Terrorist Firing Missles From Schoolhouse in Gaza


The Truth of Hamas


Hmmm This aattack happened months ago, Israel still didn’t attack Hamas.


Another one of Hamas’s young followers.


Even women are used.

Well looks like this week will end on a positive note. A cold front moving into the area will bring us some needed surf here on the Florida WC. The increase starts Thursday and continues through Saturday morning. Here is the Surfline extended forecast showing the swell that will be coming by.

When Lori Drew was convicted on three misdemeanors, none of them dealt with so called “cyber-bullying.” If you read many of the headlines you would think that is what happened, but it wasn’t. She wasn’t even convicted of the conspiracy charge which was a felony. Instead all three minor counts dealt with violations of Myspace’s TOS.

While what happened to Megan Meier is a tragedy, her parents lack of parental over site in this case is even more tragic. In a post I published many months ago I highlighted what I felt to be the real sad part of this case.

1) Megan, with her parents consent and full knowledge, had a MySpace account even though it
violated the same TOS that are currently being used to charge Ms. Drew.
2) Megan had been sending mean messages herself to others including Ms. Drew’s daughter before
“Josh” entered the picture. Also in violation of the TOS.
3) Megan’s parents said they “closely monitored” their daughter’s actions online yet they allowed a
boy to call their 13 year old daughter “sexi” and allowed her to call him “sexi.”
4) Megan was being treated for ADD and depression.

I think what Drew did was also illegal and immature, but holding her responsible for Megan’s death is very short-sighted. Megan’s parents are the real villans in this case. Instead of trying to be parents, they try to be friends. Kids have enough friends, they need parents.

So go ahead feel good media, make Drew the monster, but if you truly were the unbiased outlets you want to tell everyone you are, you will also include the Meier’s. Like it or not, their daughter is dead because they didn’t protect her, even if that meant protecting her from herself.

All too often CAIR and other pro-Islamic groups spend time telling us that being Islam is a religion of love. Too many times though we see the opposite, but being the mind-numb nation we are we buy the hollow words hook, line and sinker (i.e. Obama). What is happening in India is another clear case of the religion of love spreading the good word of Allah.

Over 150 people, mainly Westerners (read Americans and Brits) have been killed and hundreds more wounded after a couple days siege by Islamic terrorists in Mumbai. There have been hotels burned to the ground and explosions and gunfire heard throughout the streets as the terrorist have been spreading the good news of Allah to all the infidels. In fact when they captured the Jewish Center they executed five Jews who were in there. Two of the five were a Rabbi and his wife from New York.

Also killed was a father and daughter who went to India with a meditation group called Synchronicity. Alan Scherr and his 13 year old daughter Naomi were also murdered by the religion of love and peace. Now tonight Indian Commandos trying to take back the city and are still fighting the terrorist. Accusations are now flying about which group is behind the attacks. It is apparent that it is Al Qaida backed, but the group is believed to be from Pakistan. The U.S. is sending over counter-terrorism investigators to try and help put the pieces back together.

I pray for the families who have either lost love ones or who have loved ones injured in the fighting. Religion may not matter to many Americans, but it does to this motley crew.

The Scurvy Dog of the Week winner is……….. drum roll………….

The collective dogs of the automobile industry.

Mark Cuban is only alleged to be a Scurvy Dog, but the jerks who run the auto industry big three proved themselves before God and man that they are worthless, spineless Scurvy Dogs. So call the animal catcher and take these Scurvy Dogs to be euthanized.

My next nominee of the week is actually four dogs rolled into one. GM’s Rick Wagoner, Ford’s Alan Mulally, Chrysler’s Bob Nardelli and UAW head Ron Gettelfinger all showed up in Washington with their hats in their hands looking for handouts. When asked if any of them maybe flew commercial, you know since their companies are collapsing, none of them could answer yes. Instead they all took their corporate jets. At least three of them did, in true union style Gettelfinger probably threatened to strike unless someone took him on their jets too.

They not only showed their arrogance, they also proceeded to say they want $25 billion and don’t intend to really change anything, or offering anything in return. They just feel they are entitled to it. Hmm.

So there you go. Run your company into the ground. Pay yourself ridiculous salaries and act like an incredible ass and you too maybe named a nominee for Scurvy Dog of the Week.

What’s a Scurvy Dog? A Scurvy Dog is an old pirate term defined as follows:

scurvy dog \skur’ve n dog n - Pirate talk for a vile; mean; low; vulgar; contemptible person.

I have decided to bring back the Scurvy Dog of the Week Award because there are more and more around us everyday. I will highlight different S.D.O.T.W. Award nominees and by the end of the week we will pick the top ones. So without further ado.

The first nominee this week will go out to Mark Cuban.

Mark Cuban is a billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, he is also aparently a greedy crook. Cuban has been accused of insider trading. According to the Washington Post:

Cuban, 50, is accused of illegally selling 600,000 shares of stock in Mamma.com, a company he himself had described as an “up and coming search engine” in a blog posting from 2005.

Problem is Mamma.com, a Montreal-based start-up now known as Copernic, began raising capital in June 2004 through a process known as a PIPE (”private investment in public equity”) offering. Cuban knew of the offering beforehand and sold his shares hours before it became official, prosecutors allege.

By selling his 6.3 percent stake in the company, Cuban avoided more than $750,000 in losses, prosecutors say in court filings.

Way to go Cuban, because of your actions you are the first nominee of the S.D.O.T.D. Award.

So I was at work the other day when I noticed a woman walking towards me pushing a stroller.  Now, I’m not one to stop and “ooh and aah” over babies, so when I saw her coming, I almost completely disregarded her, save the smile and nod to acknowledge her presence in the store…However, as she got closer, I realized there was something not quite right about the passenger in the strolller, and soon found out that it was because the passenger was a dog.  “Seriously?”, I thought.  Out of sheer curiosity, I approached the pair and exclaimed, “Oh, how cute!  I’ve never seen a dog riding in a stroller before!”  She of course, like a new mom gushing over her newborn baby, proceeded to tell me all about how she takes “her baby” everywhere in the stroller and how well behaved she is in comparison to her other two “babies”…  Babies?  Really?  The encounter got me to thinking about this phenomenon…this dog phenomenon that makes people (seemingly primarily women) go crazy over their dogs and and not just treat them like people, but as though they were their very own children and care for them in ways formerly unimagineable to me.  Like someone I know that brushes her dog’s teeth and uses a baby wipe on him after he does his business.  Is somebody kidding me?  Having grown up with dogs, four to be precise…I’m well aware of how attached we can get to our pets.  I will even go as far as saying that the ones I grew up with were more than just pets, they were in fact like members of our family.  My parents never included them in pictures or signed their names to Christmas cards, but we loved them and they were a part of us.  One of my favorite quotes about dogs reads “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I’m a dog. Tomorrow I’ll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There’s so little hope for advancement!” ~Charles M. Shultz (Snoopy)   However, things have changed.  At least for some people and their dogs.  Dogs have definitely advanced in some homes, especially the smaller more portable breeds.  Or perhaps it’s just that those breeds are the ones we mostly get exposed to.  Isn’t that kind of discriminatory though?  I mean, would the store I work in be as okay with someone pushing a St. Bernard around in a stroller?  It used to be that the only dogs allowed in public places were seeing eye dogs, or assistance dogs.  Does anyone else remember the Snoopy special where Snoopy can’t get in anywhere because the signs all read “No dogs allowed!”?  Nevermind that Snoopy was just about the smartest dog ever and at least he could read, unlike his real life counterparts of today.  But the ”No dogs allowed” rule seems to be changing and perhaps not for the better.  I heard of a restaurant that offers a “Yappy Hour”  like a “Happy Hour” except you can bring your dog….which to me just seems a bit…eeww.   And seriously, where do we draw the line?  I mean will we soon be seeing special purses made to carry around our bunnies?  And what about parakeets?  Think anyone would mind if I just put my parakeet’s cage in a stroller and pushed it around?  At least my parakeet won’t poop in your path and mess up your shoes.    Or…ooh…snakes…what about snakes?  Snakes have feelings and needs too…don’t they?  If I had a snake I could dress him in a tube sock and carry him around too.  Think anyone would mind that?  And what comes next?  I wouldn’t be surprised if someone in the near future decides that there should be public doggy restrooms, or at least public doggy walks everywhere with pooper scoopers and poop bags provided at the establishements cost.  Would that movement be called ”The fight for the right to potty”?  But until then, might I advise that you watch where you walk? 

And that’s all for now…Ciao!  Hasta la pasta baby!

TARP was suppose to be the big bailout plan sold to us just a little over month ago that would help save us from financial ruin. Now Paulson has decided that instead buying troubled mortgages the money will go to buying stocks in banks to encourage them to lend more money, and helping out sorry ass companies like AIG recover from their self induced tail spin.

Meanwhile on Main Street USA the hard working American taxpayer is being asked to pay for it all and suffer while the people that got us into this mess continue to operate and pay for their lavish lifestyles. If you or me were in financial ruin we would not get any help from the government, we would not get any help from the companies that are themselves in trouble now. No we would have to sell our houses and cars and change our lifestyle. It is good enough for you and me, but it is not good enough for big corporations or the government. Hmm.

The media, who should be dedicating 90% of their coverage to this horrible crisis is instead wondering what dog Obama will be buying and whether Angelina Jolie may be pregnant again. They are accomplices in the fix and instead of Americans being outraged and demanding the media start telling the truth, they are just blindly following what they are told.

This whole thing reminds me of a scene in Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” where faceless people are falling into a meat grinder one at a time and they are oblivious it is happening. FOR GOD’S SAKE OPEN YOUR EYES!!! This isn’t about political parties, it is about a government who has become too big for its own good. It is about crooked politicians. Its about shady business deals between the Feds and big business. Its about greed and corruption on a scale that is almost beyond comprehension.

If we don’t wake up and do something soon this may be end of America as we know it. I know that sounds absurd now, but it is the truth. Everything we stand for has been raped and pillaged by Republicans and Democrats and their friends in big business. We must take a stand now. Maybe we should declare April 15th a tax holiday and Americans in mass should not pay their taxes. They can’t get us all. Maybe we should turn off the TV and think for ourselves. Maybe we should quit being scared of the Federal government and instead make then afraid of us again.

A few things are obvious:
1) Abolish the IRS and Income Tax system, replace them with a Fair Tax system.
2) Abolish the Federal Reserve.
3) Take away the governments ability to print its own money. Return to the Gold System. Government has the ability to print its own money and it has been doing so at an astronomical rate.
4) Hold every politician in power accountable for their actions or inaction. Throw every last Congressman who has wasted taxpayers money out on their ass.
5) Put the government back in the peoples hands.

Please pay attention America before its too late.

Read this article from 1998, the warning is prophetic.
