Sam Alito twice broke his promise to recuse himself from
Vanguard lawsuits. Vanguard is perhaps of publicly investigated mutual funds the one most heavily invested in several kinds of slaughterhouse operations.

One way to find in what investments a corporation, mutual fund
etc. holds... go to http://finance.yahoo.com type in the symbol
for that entity, and then scroll down on left to 'major holders'.

MSN has such a service too with more listings.

Slaughterhouse, safari hunt and other money has in some cases gone underground with private equity funds. The British are less forthcoming
about stockholders than Americans.

God defeat this nomination.






VANGUARD: INVESTED IN ANIMAL SLAUGHTERHOUSES

Vanguard manages more than US $700 billion and has
more than 5000 institutional investors. It is invested
in many slaughterhouse and war operations.
1 It is the major investor in the world's most corrupt bank,
Citibank whose chairman helped jailed Bernie Ebbers buy Canada's
biggest cattle ranch with stolen MCI customer money.
2 It is a major investor in McDonald's (and since NPR has 200 million
in McDonald's stock,
... the 'public radio' network promoted Vanguard)
28,385,755 2.24 $883,932,410 31-Mar-05
3. It is a major investor in Yums, owner of the boycotted KFC
http://www.kfccruelty.com and of Taco Bell which finally settled with
unions.
4. It is a major investor in Lonestar Steak House which causes
cancer, heart disease, slaughterhouse agony, and deforestation.
(THE) 409,292 1.99 $11,832,631 31-Mar-05
5. It is a major investor in Triarc (Arby's beef)
6. Wendy's Vanguard is a major investor in the world's
3rd largest cowslaughter fast food chain
7. Vanguard is invested in SBC, a pricegouging conglomerate illegal
in Teddy Roosevelt's days
8. It is invested in Dominion, a gas company which has
been pricegouging the poor with doubling of charges.
9. It is a major investor in ConAgra.. 'butterball' turkeys
and other slaughterhouse items.
10. It is invested in Goldman Sachs, neocon warmonger.

John Bogle its CEO has been touted on NPR
because both are heavily invested in McDonald's. NPR was
allegedly left 200 million in McDonald's stock by Joan Kroc.
It is indeed humorous that Bogle would write a book on
business ethics.

------
Those who are not vegetarian or vegan might consider that
the incubation period of Mad Cow, Mad Deer, Mad Pig, Mad Chicken,
Mad Fish etc is 50 years according to Dr David Heymann of the CDC
speaking on the CBC... Heymann is one of the few truthtellers
at the pharmaceutically dominated CDC. Any investment in animal
flesh is unwise.

I didn't know that about vanguard. At my work we have a choice of Vanguard or Tiaa Creff for our 403(b). Fortunately I chose the latter.

Thank you Thalia

Goldman Sachs.. a major investor in Tyson's, world's biggest slaughterhouse
operation... controlling the slaughter of pigs, cows, and chickens
since buying Iowa Beef Processors... a firm which the Washington Post
said was skinning cows alive.

CALPERS (California retirement system) also invested in Tyson's

NPR: 200 million dollars in McDonald's stock


MAJOR INVESTORS IN SLAUGHTER: Fidelity, J P Morgan Chase, Vanguard,
Goldman Sachs, Barclays

Tyson's In Which Alito Invested Shutting 2 Plants
and laying off in a 3rd in Iowa

Declining animal flesh consumption is the cause.... but one would
not know this reading the http://www.meatnews.com release
put out by Tyson's, the world's biggest killer of pigs, cows and chickens.

Washington Post report of Tyson's (owner of IBP)
skinning cows alive

Alito owning shares in Vanguard makes him a bad guy? :lol:
You do realize that a lot of peeps with 401Ks have them through Vanguard, right?

Oh, and owning a Vanguard mutual fund doesn't mean someone owns "slaughterhouse" stock. They have a variety of funds with very diverse holdings.

If this is the best the left can come up with, let me be the first to congratulate our new USSC associate justice Sam Alito!

T
Declining animal flesh consumption is the cause....


Meat consumption per capita is increasing in the US.

With all due respect, Tame, you don't know how I spend my time.

What do you consider priorities for shutting down slaughterhouses?

If the internet were not powerful, it would not be hacked by
slaughterhouse corporations and governments.

http://www.alitosamerica.org
n Public Interest Research Group v. Magnesium Electron, 123 F.3d 111 (3d Cir. 1997), Judge Alito sided with the corporate polluter in a 2-1 ruling that wiped a $2.62 million fine off the books and restricted citizens' access to the courts. The plaintiffs proved that the defendant corporation had violated the Clean Water Act 150 times, discharging pollutants into a stream used by the plaintiffs for fishing and swimming. But Alito supported erecting new obstacles for environmental plaintiffs to have their day in court.

Three years later, in Friends of the Earth v. Laidlaw, 528 U.S. 167 (2000), the Supreme Court essentially rejected the burden on environmental plaintiffs supported by Alito, voting 7-2 with only Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissenting.

Alito displayed a similar deference to corporate polluters in W.R. Grace & Co. v. U.S. EPA, 261 F.3d 330 (3d Cir. 2001). Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has emergency powers that allow it to protect a public water source from imminent threats to public health and safety, including terrorist attacks. In W.R. Grace, a polluter challenged an emergency order issued by the EPA to protect the public health from a large ammonia plume that threatened the drinking water of Lansing, Michigan. Alito joined a 2-1 opinion which overturned this emergency order and imposed a stiff burden on the EPA to prove that the order was "the only way" to protect public health. The ruling could affect how the EPA and other federal agencies are able to react to environmental emergencies.

Alito's votes in these environmental cases are consistent with the stance he took as a lawyer in the Reagan administration, when he urged that President Reagan veto a piece of consumer protection legislation, offering this explanation: "It is the states, and not the federal government, that are charged with protecting the health, safety and welfare of their citizens." If this extreme view became the law of the land, it would endanger environmental protections.

With all due respect, Tame, you don't know how I spend my time.

Where did I mention how you spend your time?


What do you consider priorities for shutting down slaughterhouses?

They can keep operating for all I care.


If the internet were not powerful, it would not be hacked by
slaughterhouse corporations and governments.

And if your auntie had balls she would be your uncle.
I have no idea what point you were trying to make, but I hope it works out for you.

But why did he side with the "polluter"? Maybe because under the law the felt they were in the right?

Again, without the proper context, this means dick.

Sounds like he is applying the Constitution as written, which provides that powers not specifically given to the federal government belong to the state.

Yup, that's why I like him. :up:

so you like a man who supports a constitution
written by slaveholding white males.. e.g. pedophile Thomas Jefferson
200 of whose slaves were sold on an auction block at his death


a constitution which defined you as worth 3/5 of someone in a white body?

Alito has made decisions which carve up the rights of states
to resist the current regime occupying the federal govt.

so you like a man who supports a constitution

Yes.

written by slaveholding white males..

Yes, many of them were.

e.g. pedophile Thomas Jefferson

An accusation with no basis in fact.

200 of whose slaves were sold on an auction block at his death

Yes.


a constitution which defined you as worth 3/5 of someone in a white body?

Since amended.


Alito has made decisions which carve up the rights of states
to resist the current regime occupying the federal govt.

How many layers of tin foil does your hat have?

there are a lot of meat industry moles in white bodies..
pretending to be what they are not... on this board

They are attracted to any place that vegans and vegetarians
gather... and their intent is not good

one way to tell them... they insult everyone
... try to divide and conquer...

the USDA trains people in this

*awaits the men in white lab coats*

there are a lot of meat industry moles in white bodies..
pretending to be what they are not... on this board

There are also a lot of people...who like to write with...odd spacing in their sentences.

For a fee

God exorcise you Tame

The divide and conquer tactics used by the British for 150 years
in India as they performed atrocities against Hindus dressed as Muslims
and vice versa was copied by the US CIA in Vietnam, said Senator
Stephen Young of Ohio. Now
they send a man to a board with an insulting signature and a
supposedly black identity ... his mission: to detract
from animal rights, veg and vegan by insulting everyone

God exorcise you Tame

What, is Jesus a personal trainer now?
