I think court processes are a little more complicated than that but sure, if you think that would be an appropriate precedence

Again, discrediting the source rather than the information itself. Anybody who reads that article will find links to a number of sources including mainstream outlets and journals.you know zerohedge
Wrong. He asserted it, without supplying any evidence to support the assertion.actually power raid explained to you that three simultaneous meltdowns could require relatively similar amounts of cleanup as a single.

http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/08/art1full.pdfUp to now, this article has addressed each of the major recent criticisms of the CPI and has argued that those criticisms are based on misunderstandings of the methods used to construct the index. Each of the improvements made to the CPI over the years is based on sound economic theory and years of research by academicians and BLS economists. The methods continue to be reviewed by outside commissions and advisory panels, and they are widely used by statistical agencies of other nations.
This section examines the large quantitative impacts that some writers have attributed to the changes in CPI methodology that have been adopted over the years. One widely cited alternative index is based on an estimate that changes to the CPI since 1983 have lowered its growth rate by at least 7 percentage points per year. The use of the geometric mean alone is stated to have lowered the CPI growth rate by 3 percentage points, and other BLS changes, such as the use of hedonic models and OER, supposedly have lowered the growth rate by an additional 4 percentage points.
Each of these estimates of the impact of BLS changes is inconsistent with the empirical evidence. As noted earlier, the BLS has computed indexes showing that the use of the geometric mean formula has reduced the growth rate of the geometric mean of the CPI by only -0.28 percentage point per year, not 3 percentage points. Also discussed earlier, BLS analyses have shown that if the implementation of hedonic adjustment models since 1999 has had any net downward effect, it is very small. Hedonic adjustment models implemented subsequent to 1983, but prior to 1999, have almost certainly had an upward effect. Among the methodological changes examined in this article, that leaves only the shift to rental equivalence, and it is entirely implausible that its impact could be as large as 4 percentage points per year. Earlier, it was shown that from 1983 to 2007 the CPI for OER rose faster than an alternative index that, like the pre–1983 BLS homeownership index, is based on both house prices and interest rates.
Citing a gov report to defend charges that the gov is fudging the figures. Good one.
What I do disagree with is bad statistical methodology. Shadowstats is built on the belief that the Bureau of Labor Statistics changed their methodology in the 1980s and 1990s, and that if we were using their original methodology the level of inflation would be much higher. Shadowstats presents what they claim to be the original methodology. But Shadowstats is not calculating inflation any differently.They are not using the 1980s or 1990s methodology that they believe would be higher. All Shadowstats is doing is taking the CPI data and adding on an arbitrary constant to make it look like inflation is higher!
…
In fact, according to James Hamilton of Econbrowser, John Williams admitted in 2008 that his numbers are just inflated CPI data:
Last month I called attention to an analysis by BLS researchers John Greenlees and Robert McClelland of some of the claims by John Williams of Shadowstats about the consequences for reported inflation of assorted technical decisions made by the BLS. Williams asked me to update with a link to his response to the BLS study. I am happy to do so, along with offering some further observations of my own.
You can follow the link to Shadowstats’ response to Greenlees and McClelland and judge for yourself, but my impression is that the response is more philosophical than quantitative. In a separate phone conversation, Williams further clarified the Shadowstats methodology. Here’s what John said to me: “I’m not going back and recalculating the CPI. All I’m doing is going back to the government’s estimates of what the effect would be and using that as an ad factor to the reported statistics.”
Price changes and inflation are important topics, and constructing alternate measures of inflation is a worthwhile activity. Researchers at MIT have tried to do this with their Billion Prices Project, which measures price trends across a much, much larger range of products and locations than CPI:
When housing prices outpace inflation, real (i.e. inflation-adjusted) home prices rise. When inflation outpaces housing prices, real home prices fall. Shadow Stats claims some pretty high inflation numbers, so it's hard for housing prices to keep up—even in good times. That's why we see the long-term decline in real housing prices shown in the second graph.
In 2002, the prime minister of Malaysia proposed a gold dinar standard for use in the Islamic world.[2]
Kelantan was the first state in the country to introduce the dinar in 2006, which was locally minted. In 2010, it issued new coins, including the dirham, minted in United Arab Emirates by World Islamic Mint.[3] On 25 August 2013 Kelantanese government collected and distributed zakat from people in Kelantanese dinars and dirhams in a public ceremony officiated by Chief Minister Dato Nik Aziz Nik Mat.[4]
The state of Perak followed suit, minting its own dinar and dirham, which was launched in 2011.[5]
I have no doubt as a passive observer that there has been a determined push to undermine Putin/Russia utilising propaganda. With outgoing into detail there have been a lot of good changes in Russia, l
