Associated Press Should Remove ‘illegal wiretap’ from Stylebook

Leave a comment

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is encouraging the Associated Press to simply remove the term “illegal wiretap” from their stylebook to remedy their difficulties with Department of Justice phone surveillance of their employees.

Raleigh, NC, USA (May 14, 2013) — Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) (866) 703-0864 Press@alipac.us

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is encouraging the Associated Press to simply remove the term “illegal wiretap” from their stylebook to remedy their difficulties with Department of Justice phone surveillance of their employees.

The Associated Press was recently ridiculed nationally for ruling that the term “illegal immigrant” would be removed from their stylebook and likely disallowed in articles their wire service would carry just days before legislation granting Amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants was filed in the US Senate.

“The Associated Press is eager to embrace totalitarianism, protect and defend the Obama regime at any expense of the truth, engage in mass censorship and bias, and yet cry foul when the Obama administration power abuses affect them directly,” said William Gheen, Spokesman of ALIPAC. “Perhaps the AP should simply remove the term “illegal wiretap” to further accommodate the Obama administration in the same way they sought to wipe away public concerns about illegal immigration and Obama’s breaches of the US Constitution regarding our immigration laws.”

In response to the banning of the term “illegal immigrant,” the national press reported ALIPAC’s accusation that the Associated Press is engaging in a form of totalitarianism similar to what George Orwell described in his criticism of communism in the book 1984. In the book 1984, all citizens are subjected to a mass media supported dictator named “Big Brother” who serves as the figurehead of a one party centralized system kept in power through extreme surveillance of every citizen. Newspeak, the fictional language the citizens of 1984 are forced to use, is a reduction language where any terms deemed to be not politically correct have been removed from the latest version of the Newspeak book.

ALIPAC has criticized the Associated Press before for systematically failing to report on or acknowledge most of the death and destruction caused by illegal immigrants in America.

“The Associated Press engages in censorship and heavy bias to conceal the problems caused by the Political Correctness totalitarianism rampant in America today, including the deaths of thousands of Americans each year at the hands of illegal immigrants,” said William Gheen. “Perhaps their ‘magic eraser’ can help them thwart the Obama administration monster they have helped create and sustain!”

T5 Data Centers Raises $113 Million to Expand T5@Dallas Data Center Complex

Leave a comment

Additional Influx of Capital Expands T5 Data Centers’ Competitive Capacity to Deliver Enterprise and Cloud-based Data Center Services in Growing Texas Market.

Dallas, TX, USA (May 14, 2013) — T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for any enterprise, today announced the company has completed a loan for $113 million to expand its T5@Dallas Data Center Facility. With this additional loan, T5 Data Centers has raised a combined $500 million over the past three years.

The loan will be used to expand T5’s data center in Plano, Texas, which will ultimately deliver 22.5 megawatts of critical IT load power and house 247,000 square feet under roof. The new funding round is being led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, and includes investments from Wells Fargo Bank, RBS Citizens Financial Group, and Raymond James.

“There is unprecedented demand for new data center capacity as more companies invest in private cloud and expanded enterprise infrastructures,” said Peter S. Marin, President and CEO of T5 Data Centers. “According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, a zettabyte of data will cross the Internet in 2016 – that’s 1,024 exabytes or 1.1 trillion gigabytes of data. Companies are looking to capitalize on cloud computing resources to house their data, which is driving demand for high-capacity, custom-built data centers like T5@Dallas. This is the perfect time to invest in data center expansion.”

In recent weeks, Facebook is investing $300 million for a data center in Altoona, Iowa; and experts estimate Google is spending $1 billion per quarter on data center construction and operations. However, there are few vendors investing in new turnkey and purpose-built data centers to lease capacity to companies that can’t afford to build their own infrastructure. T5 Data Centers is one of the few providers actively developing data center environments for lease to mid-size and large enterprise users at competitive rates.

“Market demand and the boom in cloud-based business is driving demand for server-ready facilities, and T5 plans to be at the forefront with affordable, high-performance customizable and turnkey data centers,” Marin added. “We are committed to delivering operational excellence and unsurpassed customer service so our customers can rely on a single source for their enterprise and cloud computing needs. The market is ready for a vendor that can supply extensible enterprise and cloud computing resources as needed.”

War Within GOP: ALIPAC To Target Republicans With Obama on Amnesty

Leave a comment

ALIPAC To Target Republicans With Obama on Amnesty for Illegal Aliens.

Raleigh, NC, USA (May 13, 2013) — Contact: ALIPAC (866) 703-0864 Press@alipac.us

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is announcing today that the national organization’s new focus will be targeting Republican lawmakers and personalities who are aligned with Barack Obama in support of a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants.

ALIPAC contends that Washington, DC, is operating under a one party system that is masquerading as a two party system, and that this problem is depriving Americans of a choice on important issues such as illegal immigration, bailouts, war, civil liberties, privacy rights, and all other issues of contention.

“We’re all tired of GOP politicians who pretend to be opposed to Barack Obama, but upon closer inspection are found supporting the exact same things Obama supports like Amnesty for illegal immigrants,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, and Marco Rubio are working with Obama to pass Amnesty for illegal immigrants. Each of these GOP amnesty supporters has lied to their voters back home claiming to oppose the amnesty they in fact support along with Obama.”

ALIPAC believes that targeting Republicans who side with Barack Obama in support of amnesty for illegal immigrants is where the group’s limited resources can make the greatest impact since scientific and certified polling data shows that GOP lawmakers supporting illegal immigration, lax border security, and amnesty are at odds with over 80% of those in their own party.

ALIPAC plans to release a national list of Republicans working with Obama to pass Amnesty for illegal aliens later this week. The list will be maintained and updated online. Efforts will then be made to provide the evidence showing these Republicans are working with Obama on amnesty for illegals directly to supporters for each name documented.

This list of Republicans working with Obama on Amnesty will also include state level lawmakers that are working with Democrats to give licenses and in-state tuition to illegals!

Many American conservatives will be highly disappointed with the names that appear on the list which include surprising Obama amnesty supporters such as Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX), Fast and Furious and Benghazi investigator Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), radio show host Sean Hannity, Tea Party financiers the Koch Brothers, Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, talk radio show host Roger Hedgecock, and many others who Republicans had believed opposed Obama and Amnesty for Illegals.

“We are going to throw these turncoat Republicans directly into the political fireplace,” said William Gheen. “We will have the greatest impact against the current effort to submerge conservative Americans permanently beneath an unending wave of people from outside of our nation by targeting Republicans who are aligned with Obama’s Amnesty instead of with the GOP base!”

To Celebrate Its 9th Anniversary, Luxury Travel Ltd. Reveals the Successful Story of Vietnam’s First Luxury Travel and Tour Operator

Leave a comment

“Besides having a passion for travelling, reading, walking and golf, I love to seek luxury,” admits Pham Ha, the CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

Hanoi, Vietnam, May 13, 2013 — “Besides having a passion for travelling, reading, walking and golf, I love to seek luxury,” admits Pham Ha, the CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com.

He’s not alone. As Vietnam’s economy strengthens, the tourism industry is inevitably expanding its own horizons. Once considered as more of a backpacker destination, now with growing high-end options, Vietnam is attracting a different kind of tourist.

Options might still be considered limited and infrastructure below international standards. But that’s where Ha’s company steps in. On a mission to promote the luxurious side of Vietnam, Ha hopes to coax more high-end travelers and businesspeople to the country.

But that doesn’t mean just booking five-star hotels and fancy dinners for a whirlwind tour along Vietnam’s coastline. He admits he’s haunted by one former clients’ indifferent dismissal of Vietnam as “beautiful but boring,” so his company goes the whole nine yards to ensure customers have the holiday of a lifetime.

The philosophy of Luxury Travel (http://www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) is to find top quality services, unique experiences and sophistication and create perfect packages for the most discerning of travellers. Ha knows that to have a dream vacation the traveller must experience pleasure, comfort and total satisfaction.

Whether the client wants to hide in the tropical jungle, kick back on the beach, discover Vietnam’s culinary delights, trek to a hill tribe village or relax in style in a luxury vacation villa, Luxury Travel Vietnam will come up with the goods – minimizing on travel time and maximizing experiences.

“Simply envision any vacation experience you want, name it, and we will deliver it in style – that’s Luxury Travel,” he stresses.

As a child, Ha had always dreamed of travelling around the world. After graduating from Hanoi Teachers’ Training College and National Economics University, Ha worked as a teacher but soon wanderlust set in and he quit teaching to take a job as a tour guide, tour operator, PR, sales and marketing man.

After 12 years in the industry, Pham Ha found his own business in 2004 providing luxury tours in Vietnam. Besides providing sightseeing tours, Luxury Travel also arranges accommodation, airport transfers, regional flights, train tickets, visas, superior guides and other logistics in advance. The company guides speak Vietnamese, Chinese, English, French and German and are selected for their open-mindedness, motivation and enthusiasm.

“It may be my fate. Firstly, I do this because I want to satisfy my passion to discover,” says Ha. “But it’s also my pleasure to introduce the beauty of Vietnam to foreigners.” To turn a private passion into a tourist business, Pham Ha had to be patient.

“In the beginning, I had 12 years of work experience but not so much money!” says Ha with a smile.

Despite his meager savings of $1,000, Ha was determined to pursue his dream. Now four years later, his company employs 60 luxury travel advisors and top guides, owns a fleet of Mercedes and has offices in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Danang and management offices in South East Asia.

Each of the guides must be an expert traveler and know how to make the client’s travel experience truly special, truly hassle-free, and truly enriching.

“I love my country and its destinations, and I do my best to make sure that my customers feel the same way,” says Ha.

Ha aims to introduce a contemporary Vietnam – a country that is young, dynamic and exotic. Beyond the cyclos, pho and ao dai, Vietnam is gaining a reputation for its breathtaking beaches, luxurious resorts and golf courses.

“It’s not difficult to find luxury hotels. Now is the time for upscale travelers and MICE to come to Vietnam,” says Ha.

At Ha’s office, there is a visitors’ book which is filled with entries by satisfied customers.

“We recently returned from our wonderful 15 day journey to Vietnam and Cambodia arranged by Luxury Travel Vietnam,” writes Pamela Solvang. “We can’t thank you enough for providing such an excellent travel experience for us from start to finish. The three of us on this trip have all traveled extensively, all around the world. We have used the best luxury travel companies in the US and elsewhere and can attest that Luxury Travel provides excellent services!”

Attention to detail sums up Ha’s approach very well. He knows high-end travelers don’t settle for below standard services, even if Vietnam is still a developing country, tours must run smoothly.

As Vietnam continues to assert its presence on the world stage, the number of visitors is surging and Ha is confidently waiting, ready to accommodate those who are looking to bask in the lap of luxury.
