In addition to high premiums, the latest iteration of Federal flood insurance policy mandates surcharges to cover non-primary residences.  This means businesses, second homes, and other structures will be charged on the basis of the buildings’ uses, rather than their structural strength. Additionally, FEMA will generate new elevation maps nationwide.  We expect Monroe County to be re-mapped in 2017 and new (and potentially higher) rates to be based on the new flood insurance rate maps.

Citizens Property Insurance fails to give adequate credit for wind mitigation efforts, and thus far, has failed to acknowledge that the windstorm insurance models they utilize do not account for Monroe County’s more robust building code.  The proprietary windstorm models utilized by Citizens, as currently run, also fail to account for flood damage as a major component of property loss.

As you can see, we have a massive job ahead of us.  The more we succeed the more we all will save in premiums and gain in enhanced coverage.  Even small or incremental successes will save property owners thousands of dollars over the course of their ownership.  So, please help us get this done.

[Black Friday] Because only in America, people trample each other for sales exactly one day after being thankful for what we already have.

[Crooks] Why is it that the school is always missing large sums of money? Now it’s another twenty grand gone missing. I thought we put the s away!

I regularly hear “Why even bother they will be connecting soon.” Why bother, because it wasn’t an accident they have been deliberately polluting for over ten years. Why bother, because once they tie-in it will be forgotten and nobody will ever care. Why bother, because the people whose job it is to protect our environment should be held responsible for their actions.

The Department of Health variance only allows 150 seats and the Fire Marshal set a total occupancy load of 210 people and both are exceeded regularly. Howard Livingston and Terry Cassidy held concerts there last week, On December 10th the Lower Keys Chamber is throwing their Holiday Gala there. Shame on them, shame on all of the people who attend and shame on our community leaders for remaining silent. Why bother, because I care about the environment and refuse to accept this type of corruption. Is this what our society has come to?

[Coconuts’ Thanksgiving Feast]  Giving back to the community–again. A lot of work went into putting on this fabulous spread. We’ve never seen such a good use for pool tables before. Ha. See the video.

I had a great time Thanksgiving day, celebrating with friends and family, the oppression of native Americans by white Europeans.

What you wrote about Kari and her parents and her time back in Missouri agrees with what Kari told me. However you are not fully informed about her first marriage, it is not anything you can imagine, it was nobody’s fault, and I leave for Kari to tell you why she sought a divorce, if you two correspond.

I have written a great deal about Kari at my website, goodmorningkeywest.com, which has a search feature below the right hand homepage menu, which can be used to search for Kari Dangler and what I have written and continue to right about her.

Your description of David Dangler, Kari’s 2nd husband and father of her only child, is in keeping with that Kari told me about David, except they were divorced before he was indicted for his business dealings with FEMA, which had paid his company $37 million, under a much bigger contract, which was aborted by the criminal charges. You can Google David Dangler FEMA and read what all comes up about him. Kari told me she heard David left America a fugitive and ended up in Honduras, where he either was killed, committed suicide, or vanished. One of the online articles I found said David is a fugitive at the time the article was written.

In defense of Kari’s mother and stepfather, Kari told me they gave her every chance, and she wasted it. Booze was the central culprit. In defense of Kari, she had had lost her daughter to David Dangler in a child custody case he initiated after they were divorced. He got full custody because Kari was an alcoholic. A mental health therapist had reported to the judge that she had been told by Kari and David’s daughter that David was doing sexual things with his daughter in the shower. That went into evidence. The Plantation Key, Florida judge awarded full custody to David anyway. I told Kari, in Alabama, where I practiced law, the judge would have ordered the Department of Children and Family services to take custody of the child, I could not imagine a judge awarding custody to a father under those circumstances.

Thereafter, Kari told me, she had supervised visitation with her daughter in Orlando area, where David lived. Kari had to drive up there from Key Largo, where she lived. She was in AA, even leading meetings. Then, David moved, and he kept moving, and Kari never knew where they were. She did not see or hear from her daughter from age 9.(Her daughter now is 21.) Kari came unhinged, went back to drinking.

Kari’s daughter wrote to me by email maybe 3 months ago, saying she had read everything I had written about her mother at goodmorningkeywest.com. This led to that, and Kari’s daughter called me about ten days ago, today is November 27, to say she was headed to south Florida for the funeral of her best friend, and from there she would drive down to Key West to see Kari in the jail. The day before Kari’s daughter was to be in Key West, she had her boyfriend, with whom she was traveling, call me and say there would be no visit. Reasons given did not agree with what I had heard from Kari’s daughter, nor with what Kari then told me she had written to her daughter using snail mail. Kari was unhinged.

Kari is in jail for violating the term of her probation that she not drink alcohol. The backstory for that and her original felony conviction, and what Kari now faces in the criminal justice system, and how it came to this point, was reported by me in the lead off “prison time because someone in homeless” part of the November 25th post at Link. Today’s post there is #3047.

When I first spoke with Kari, in a city park the latter part of last fall, I told her she should not be living on the street. Not her. She was different. I knew homeless scene, well. Had lived on the street in Key West myself. Was headed toward doing it again. I started eating at the soup kitchen again and was seeing Kari there. I started sitting at the table where she sat, and listened and joined in the conversation. I got a light-speed course in homeless chemical of choices besides booze – vodka. was Kari’s escape vehicle. Until she went back into the jail for drinking and violating her probation. By then, she and I were an item. Being an item with me is … different. Angels are involved.

It is not unlikely that people who love me not and used to bash me on the Coconut Telegraph, will resume bashing me. I’m used to it, they give me something different to do. It’s for Kari, though, that I reply to yours, which I imagine I will publish tomorrow at goodmorningkeywest.com, verbatim, along with my reply to you. My email address is at the bottom of each of my daily posts at that website. Nothing I write and publish is copyrighted by me. If you send me an email, I will send you the information you need to write to Kari in the jail, if you wish to do that. I am pretty sure she would like to hear from you. Perhaps Deer Ed will forward mine to you by email, if he still has your email address. He jealously protects his reader contributors’ identities, unless it’s me who writes in to the Coconut Telegraph. I have told him many times not to protect my identity.

The next meeting of the Big Pine Computer Club is coming up this Saturday, November 28, 10 am at the Senior Center.  Hope to see you there. Full Menu > Ongoing Events

Lock and load and be ready because it will be a messy future. Insanity cannot be cured with reason or prayers.

~Adults are low on B-12.  We cannot hurt ourselves with a monthly injection. Expect a little weight loss.  Don’t listen to your doctor if it tries to talk you out of supplements – which are part of the reason we are not sick and not using big pharma products.  You can buy the B-12 and needles online. Here are the instructions: Link
~Don’t touch public doorknobs, get flu shot – not from the doctors office – from the pharmacy, vacuum house twice a week, practice mindfulness and gratefulness and pray.
~Adults also low on D3.  Double your intake to 2,000 IU.
~Daily probiotic everyday.
~The best mineral of all is magnesium. Take double with food and two more at bedtime for better sleep.  Expect to be regular, and have beautiful long bowel movements, so pretty, you’ll want to take a photo and send it to Dr. Oz.
~Your diet should eliminate gluten, sugar and dairy.
~Lean red meat only occasionally.  86 the bacon.
~Have some red wine.  The more expensive, the better!  That handsome Italian guy up in Marathon has some excellent vintages reasonably priced.  Grab some champagne as well since it now wards off Alzheimers / Dementia.
~If you are having hot flashes try some Emerita Progest creme and walk around naked as much as possible without getting in trouble with the law.
~If you have sluggish thyroid from the awful water, you should also take the following vitamins with food. Multi Vitamin, B-12, B-6, L-Tyrosine, Bladderwrack, Ashwaganda, Iron, DHEA, Zinc & Selenium. No fluoride toothpaste and drink only pure water. Get a thyroid apron for any x-rays to protect your thyroid which regulates everything.  If your doc tries to starve your thyroid you can buy your own natural Armour online and split your doses 3 hours in between vitamins and walnuts.  Synthetic thyroid medicine is bad but good for Abbott stockholders.  Ask Dr. Mercola on Twitter.  Or find the girls at StopTheTyroidMadness.com if you still have symptoms and the doctor is enjoying your quarterly visits and suggests an anti-depressant and other dangerous big pharma pills only tested on sick men.
~The cure for arthritis for both people and our dogs and cats: Turmeric Curcumin 1000mg. Glucosamine Chondroitin. Walmart.com has two for one.  Pound it out and sprinkle on pet’s food.  Our big dogs take this and 400 mg SAM-e for improved mood and movement.
~Nightly baby aspirin for heart health.
~Keep buying that Botox. My AGN stocks are making me enough money to keep me floating in B-12 forever!
~If you are depressed you need less liquor, more walks outside, a happy light in the morning and try to journal your feelings.  Maybe you just need organic food and some life changes.  Staying in a bad relationship or job, feeling powerless because of energy vampires or even the feng shui arrangement of your house can cause angst.  Try to go to the library and enrich your mind and use positive affirmations and be kind to people.

When we die people should ask, “What has he done for the higher good?”  Your life film will roll and hopefully there will be more good deeds than bad.  Just know you’re coming back to learn your lessons.  Souls are energy which never die and the Akashic records tell our stories for eternity.

How much

This will be the seventh year we give to the most worthy cause – our beautiful children (who will not put us in a nursing home).

Where did the sheriff’s get the money for the computers? From us! Why are they taking credit for spending our money on non-law enforcement things? How mighty generous of them (snicker, snicker). Maybe we should examine their budget more closely next year to see if it is inflated enough for them to sponsor non law enforcement projects.

“As soon as daylight had fully broken forth, we perceived more troops of armed natives moving towards the coast with flying colours. They had on their feather-knots, and were provided with drums, bows, lances, shields, and joined themselves to the others who had arrived in the night. They divided themselves into different bodies, surrounded us on all sides, and commenced pouring forth such showers of arrows, lances, and stones, that more than eighty of our men were wounded at the first onset. They next rushed furiously forward and attacked us man to man: some with their lances, others with their swords and arrows, and all this with such terrible fury that we were compelled also to show them earnest. We dealt many a good thrust and blow amongst them, keeping up at the same time an incessant fire with our muskets and crossbows; for while some loaded others fired. At last, by dint of heavy blows and thrusts we forced them to give way; but they did not retreat further than was necessary, in order that they might still continue to hem us in in all safety; constantly crying out in their language, Al calachonlo at catachon; which signifies, kill the chief! And sure enough our captain was wounded in no less than twelve different places by their arrows. I myself had three; one of which was in my left side and very dangerous, the arrow having pierced to the very bone. Others of our men were wounded by the enemy’s lances, and two were carried off alive to be sacrificed and eaten.

After we had gained our vessels we found that fifty-seven of our men were missing, besides the two whom the Indians had carried off alive, and five whom we had thrown overboard, who had died in consequence of their wounds and extreme thirst. The battle lasted a little longer than half an hour.

The Indians should likewise renounce their idols, and no longer bring them human sacrifices. It grieved Cortes sorely whenever he reflected on the monstrous heresy in which they lived: henceforth he would neither see nor hear of these abominations, of human sacrifices and unnatural offences: then only could a permanent and brotherly union subsist between us. Above all things the women must be converted to Christianity, before we could think of taking them. Further, all unnatural crimes must be put a stop to, and young men must cease to go about in female garments, to make a livelihood by such cursed lewdness. Indeed, hardly a day passed by that these people did not sacrifice from three to four, and even five Indians, tearing the hearts out of their bodies, to present them to the idols and smear the blood on the walls of the temple. The arms and legs of these unfortunate beings were then cut off and devoured, just in the same way we should fetch meat from a butcher’s shop and eat it: indeed I even believe that human flesh is exposed for sale cut up, in their markets. “All these atrocities,” added Cortes, “must cease from this moment; then only could our union be sincere, and should we be able to make them lords over additional countries.” To this the caziques, the papas, and all the other personages answered, “That it would be impossible to abolish their idols and the human sacrifices: for everything that was good they received from these idols; they made their seeds grow and granted them all necessaries; but with regard to the unnatural crimes, they would strive in future to put an end to them.” This unsatisfactory answer made a most disagreeable impression on Cortes and all of us; for, indeed, we could no longer bear to look upon their barbarities.

We were told that the flesh of young children, as a very dainty bit, was also set before him sometimes by way of a relish. Whether there was any truth in this we could not possibly discover; on account of the great variety of dishes on the table. This I know, however, for certain, that after Cortes had reproached him for the human sacrifices and the eating of human flesh, he issued orders that no dishes of that nature should again be brought to his table.”

Note: Frequently from 5000 to 20,000 human beings were sacrificed in one day at Mexico and in the surrounding neighbourhood.

How not to drop an anchor. Wait for it… Video

In 732 A.D. the Muslim Army, which was moving on Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours, France.  In 1571 A.D. the Italians and Austrians defeated the Muslim Army/Navy as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto.

In 1683 A.D. the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.

If these battles had not been won, we it’s likely that we’d speaking Arabic. And Christianity could be non-existent; Judaism certainly would not exist. (continued on the National Politics page …)
