See How Corporate Greed Destroys Lives – There are many types of Fraud, This being one of them

Watch CBS Videos Online‘ >Bernie \”Made-Off\” with your money

 

I’ll tell you who investigates and closes alot of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002,  Sec 806 violation cases which were designed to protect Whistleblowers…. that’s OSHA… Welcome to the real world! It’s takes GUTS to standup as an Auditor to report violations but it must be done.  We auditors are bound by our ethics and obligations to our trade to point these out and stick with them until completion. Even if it takes 9 years…it’s still our obligations.  Tenacious, Yes… but necessary.

Banks calling for payment

I find it really interesting that during my OSHA appeal case that the Banks are calling for payment even after I’ve told them I’ve been off work for a year and half trying to recover from the “torture I endured”  One of my Banks was one that went on their junket to Las Vegas at “The Venetian” to hold their meetings…after given money for bailouts that are supposed to help people like me from being “foreclosure” victims.  My question as a recovering auditor, is “what did you do with that money?” I should be calling you, Wells Fargo Mortage… You’ve told us there is nothing you can do on my wife’s salary, so why keep calling?  There is a big difference in my opinion on not having the money to pay your mortgage and getting a bailout and spending it “haphazardly” on Las Vegas Junkets, and Bonuses for executives that allowed this debacle to evolve and escalate to the point it is today. So, Well Fargo and all the other banks that participated… “Where did the Bailout money go? You are supposedly in the business of tracking money and balances… You may ask, who is responsible?

Every certification, test I’ve ever taken, has always asked the question, Who is responsible? The Answer:  Management, Mangement Mangement.  That question is asked on the CISM, CISSP, CISA exams… so Management, it appears you’re not off the hook. You are responsible!

Impressionistic Golden Poison Dart Frog – 30 X 40 – Signed Original Oil on Canvas

"Golden Terriblis" - The Endangered - Golden Poison Dart Frog

Hi Friends, 

I just wanted to show you my latest painting “Golden terribilis”.  Wikipedia says - Phyllobates terribilis, the Golden Poison Frog or the Golden Dart Frog, is a poison dart frog endemic to the Pacific coast of Colombia. In captivity, poison dart frogs are not poisonous. It is in the wild where they are in fact poisonous because of what they eat. Thisamphibian of the dendrobatidae family is currently considered the most poisonous vertebrateworldwide.^[1] The optimal habitat of P. terribilis is the rainforest with high rain rates This Frog’s conservation status is on the Endangered List.

 

Here is a little closer look.

What Really Happens if You Fall into a Black Hole? Mythical Unicorns are found…Ripping the thin curtain between

The world’s largest scientific instrument, the Large Hadron Collider, will be switched on in Switzerland on Wednesday. A few people are worried that the LHC may cause the world to be swallowed up by a black hole, especially when it starts to operate at full force in the spring….

Karl Reid the Artist says, … What else can I say….. it really truly is the end of the world. The Switzerland Atom Collision caused a rip in the mythical fabric….Whoa!…Unicorns are real…young but real….

What’s been happening?

Well, to tell you the truth, it’s been Pure Hell. I had to switch Medications, because “INSURANCE WOULDN”T COVER IT….” you’ve gotta love it… ONLY in America, but we are free.  So I came down off a Medication that takes 5 weeks to WEEN off of… in Less than 12 hours and had every withdrawal symptom you can imagine, Jello feeling inside with every step…etc..etc…. That’s why I haven’t been so responsive these last 4-5 weeks.  But anyways… I’m trying to get back on track keep healing and Hopefully, the insurance companies will be STABLE enough to quit changing their formularies. I’ve lost 90lbs now…since Sept 20th 2007, and still losing. To myself, I look young again except for the gray.  Power to the Peaceful Y’all – Karl

Aetna’s CEO is worth 4,300 poor people

Aetna likes to RUN ERISA plans for large corps too…my Atty sent Aetna the supreme ct ruled that Companies that run ERISA plans are bias but I can’t understand, how a doctor I’ve never seen, who was baby sitting while telecommuting when she talked to my nurse. How can she be a part-time-expert? My condition is documented by testing and Aetna owes. This testing was done by a PHD that has actually seen my condition before rare as it might be. It states in the medical books it can’t be faked and the testing proved it. So what’s Aetna’s expert doctor looking at…. a fat BONUS? I wish I knew, because he/she was not looking at the PHD’s report tested on me 10 ways to Sunday.  My attorney said to Aetna’s expert send me the criteria that you used to make your decision, to my knowledge the only response to that letter was a denial of my appeal. Meanwhile, Aetna’s part-time (baby-sitting) expert Doctors who are taking time out to be mommy leaves me and my family of 5 to struggle on my wife’s salary and whatever I can bring through my art therapy.  

Aetna… at least acknowledge that I never missed a payment or was late on a payment. I say if he/she wants me to prove to her them I have an illness, I want Aetna to prove that this expert of theirs has the experience he/she claims to have. Show me one page of patient notes showing the diagnosis. Blockout the patient’s names, like the government does when it declassifies a secret document.  I have an Audit background so… I should be able to look at the evidence and see If I can come to the same conclusion as Aetna. If I can’t figure it out I’ll call some buddies from Ernst and Young and Deloitte and see if they can prove that Aetna’s Baby sitting expert is truly an expert. I’ve been seen by over 10 doctors locally, whom have reviewed my medical records and all agree to my 3 diagnoses.  Now let’s do some math…. 10 Local doctors who have pricked me with needles to prove my left side is numb like a stroke patient, I’m in Neurofeedback treatment where I have two brainwaves that are flipped and we are working to reestablish the pathways to their correct frequency, is highly likely to be more correct than a part-time baby sitting Aetna “Expert” who works from home.  What do you think?

Today I wept…but I didn’t even know him. RIP – Randy Pausch

As I paint my paintings I get lost in the music I’m listening too or thinking about how I’m going to make something flat look round. I am currently on Short term/Long Term disability and I have been fighting Aetna’s continued denial of my condition that has been proved by testing. Luckily, painting is one of the ways that I re-build some cognitive deficits.  http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/goodbye-to-randy-pausch-great-teacher.html Seeing Randy Pausch will get you off the pitypot pretty darn quick I bet.

Talk about a paradigm shift, I learned that I have to let my wife handle my matters and I’ll just paint my paintings while I get well… and I have to believe that they are telling me the truth when they say I’m doing better… I’ve reversed my diabetes using byetta and metformin and exercise. The byetta killed my appetite and I used it for a about a year and a half. Well during the last 10 months I’ve lost over 75lbs, partly because the byetta killed my appetite, I’ve lost my munchie snacky times, mostly from the severe depression I’ve been fighting because of the Aetna battle and my illness…It’s kind of Ironic that the day Randy dies, My doctor tells me, I’m taking you off the metformin. Which, makes me feel alive and well like Randy did during his YouTube Last lecture.  Listening to his lecture moved me even more than when I finally moved from XXXL/XXL  shirts to L/M. Now, I’m wearing a 36″ waist from a 48″ waist.

 Weather you’re fighting cancer or Type II diabetes, each day is a gift from God…that’s really why they call each new day the ”Present”.  Go look at Randy’s Last Lecture on You Tube for a good dose of reality.  

- Peace Karl

I just finished my “Cave Bear Cub Print” sculpture.

I thought you might like to take a look at my latest and greatest sculpture. I haven’t figured out what kind on stone. But for now it’s called Beaver Creek Stone because it’s found in my back yard near Beaver Creek.  This sturdy piece cried out for a cave bear cub paw print. So I worked it out of the stone and found it contains some metals of sorts. I plan on finding a natural wood weathered easel rather than a store bought one. I’m going for a walk in a few minutes to find one. oh yeah…. I almost forgot….. BOOOOOoooooo Aetna… Pay what you owe…Do the right thing for a change!

Here’s the Photos of my latest sculpture: “Cave Bear Cub Print ~6″ X ~3″ – $650 – (Handmade pedistal not for sale)

 

Here’s another….

4th of July Aetna Protest and Pitching my new Blog.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO    AETNA………………………… you owe me money and are waiting to the last day to pay me…….Your Nurse was a liar…………she said she was going to see me through my illness.  BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……  This is what this day is all about …. fighting Tyranny….. and warning others about your Bad Business Practices…. If you have a choice….. use it wisely….. Thank you for taking the time to read this….  Since, Aetna denied my short term disability, my long-term disability didn’t apply. Now the Supreme Court has ordered ERISA plan admins like AETNA to pay all our denied claims…to my understanding.  PAY UP or I might call you what I would call someone who doesn’t pay me what they owe me…….

BTW  – DON’T FORGET TO CHECKOUT MY Galleries for lastest pieces.

Take the lift, and roll this baby out like you would in a wheelchair….wheel to the course you want to ride and let….. “Newton’s Law take affect”….. Sorry Al.. I like what you’re doing with the GO GREEN but you didn’t “INVENT THE GRAVITY”…. LOL.. I’m not a comedian but after meeting Stacy this weekend I wanted to share with you his experiences. Please Buy one his machines…. And don’t forget when you come to Mt. Baker or wherever south…. come stay at the house. Peace Brother – Karl

I’m working on my Art Therapy stuff …not slacking…

Just thought you’d like to know. I had a medical treatment yesterday and slept most of the day.  I’ll be posting some Metal Sculpture Salmon and other paintings that I have making as well… These metal salmon and other fish were made before I began my Short Term Disability and the doctors will not release me to doing metal work. The good news is that my attorney told me that the US Supreme Ct ruled that all ERSA plan administrators are to pay the claims. This is historic because you could win at the WA state level….but the Federal Appeal of ERSA Type Employers to the federal government was consistently in favor of the Employer and not the employee. Three Little Birds By Bob Marley  Bad Aetna STD/LTD… they promised me they would see me through my illness…LIARS….Aetna stopped paying my STD in January of 2008 after telling me right after Christmas they promised they would see me through it…. I guess they had to get their quota in…. seems all the Hype about SICKO was not far off…. http://www.aetna.com/provider/agreement_with_physicians.html
