Today NBC proved its far left standing when it criticized Ann Coulter’s statements about the four widows of 9/11. She told only the truth. Those four women, and many of the other family members of the 9/11 victims, came away millionaires by taking tax money from Americans. Many of us donated money to the 9/11 fund, thinking the money was going to go for cleanup. Instead, that money went to make victim’s families millionaires.

That is in the past, I’m not here to complain about that. What I am here to speak on, is how four of those widows have used the fifteen minutes of fame, and the money, to stand on a podium to criticize the USA, George W. Bush and the Republican party. That is their right as free Americans. Just as Anne Coulter said in her latest book, the left has put a shield around those family members where they can say what they please without facing counter opinions.

The leftist media wants to crucify Ann for speaking her mind, the truth. Many of us have thought the same thing, but have only spoken it in quiet voices. I want to applaud her for having the strength and conviction to speak the truth. I want denounce NBC and the rest of the left wing media for striking out at free speech. The left has placed victims, such as Cindy Sheehan, on a pedestal beyond reproach. Being a victim in this country should not give you special rights.

People lose loved ones everyday. One loss is no greater than that of another. There should never be special rewards for loss as we did for the families of the 9/ll victims. In the Unites States we strive for equality. That should apply in death as well. It should apply equally for grieving family members.

You have seen them advertised on television for only $19.95. You can, of course, find them in flea markets for much less. I am not sure what brand I have. I’ll look up the information later. The point is, they are a scam. After getting poor results, no apparent charging, I disassembled two of them.

First, let me point out I have over 30 years in the electronic industry. I was dubious of the type of energy storage the light used. My mind told me this couldn’t work as advertised. I was right. Their claims are not just outrageous, but they are down right lies.

After having problems with the flashlight not charging, I finally took the time to disassemble one. To my surprise I found two button type batteries. Maybe I wasn’t that surprised. I had expected wafer capacitors or something similar.

Okay so it had batteries, that’s not that bad of a thing. On further research, I found the wires from the charging coil not connected. This was the problem, why it didn’t work. Unable to find exactly where they went, I dug farther. This is when I discovered the iron core, that you see shaking black and forth, wasn’t a magnet at all. It was a common piece of cold roll steel. With no magnet passing through the coil, I see no way the device could charge.

The nail in the coffin was when I took apart the one flashlight that I thought worked. There was at least one wire from the coil which was not connected to anything. There is no doubt this is a scam.

I nearly forgot, the batteries are lithium and non rechargeable.
