With Kerik at the steering wheel, Taser's profits grew ten times in two years, to $68 million in 2004, up from just under $7 million in 2001. By the way, sales have been helped along by police officers who have received payments and/or stock options from Taser to serve as instructors and trainers.
Just five years earlier, Kerik faced lawsuits over delinquent payments for his condo. The life of this high school dropout changed after he became Giuliani's chauffeur. Giuliani made him rich, powerful, and, as a result, well-educated. After Kerik got a mail-order Bachelor's Degree from Empire State College in 2002, he went on to receive Honorary Doctorates from Iona College, New York Institute of Technology, Manhattanville College, the College of New Rochelle, and Michigan State University. In 2002, according to keriklegaltrust.com, "Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second, also honored him with an honorary appointment as Commander of the Most Excellent Royal Order of the British Empire." In 2004, the Commander of the Most Excellent Royal Order withdrew as nominee for secretary of homeland security and resigned from Giuliani Partners "to clear his good name. " "He continues to be a friend,'' said Giuliani of the Commander and immediately renamed Giuliani-Kerik LLC to Giuliani Security & Safety LLC. Earlier this month, Kerik was indicted on federal criminal charges. A U.N. committee called the use of tasers "a form of torture." Amnesty International estimated in hundreds taser related deaths. Giuliani: "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do." Ok, we get it. It's all because of the war on terror. Just where is it all going? Next we will see flying taser saucers zapping us from the sky. Don't believe it? This weapon has already been built by Taser and tested in Houston. Then there is the crowd control taser. The Air Force secretary Wynne called for using it against US citizens first, before we try it on terrorists, because that "... would make it easier to avoid questions in the international community over any possible safety concerns." Yesterday's poll showed Rudy Taser Giuliani as the best candidate to address terrorism. Just don't tase us, bro!
www.publicani.com Zak Maymin immigrated to the USA from Russia in 1980. He worked as a professor of mathematics at Northeastern University, and as a researcher and trader on Wall Street. He holds a Ph.D. in mathematics from M.I.T. He is married, has four children, and lives in Greenwich, CT. Dr. Maymin wrote Publicani because he was concerned that the U.S. was moving in the wrong direction, and he decided to write a novel questioning to what degree the government should be allowed to take forcefully from an individual something that he owns and share it with others. Here are some of the testimonials on Publicani(the full text is available on Amazon and publicani.com): Genre-Bender... A fascinating twist on eminent domain, a futuristic political thriller from start to finish... A Riveting, Entertaining Read... Politically, we are already in the world of the publicani... Gripping, Thought-Provoking... The word "publicani" originally meant the same as an IRS agent during biblical times. The book is available free online at www.publicani.com (where Dr. Maymin runs a pro-freedom anti-income-tax blog), and a hard copy is available on Amazon.
