We have entered the Push stage.
World War III ahead: the U.S. arms the Syrian rebels.
Come 2014, a $95 penalty (and subject to change) for not having insurance.
The CBO estimates 7 mn. Americans will drop their health insurance due to the Affordable Care
act. The minimal family plan: $20K, about double what it is now, how high it’s gotten. To
make sure you go for the penalty. Plus, amnesty: $3,000 fine for hiring a legal employee,
incentivizing illegal hiring.
And again, the IRS will be ‘responsible’ for your health care.
Doing nothing is not an option.
I don’t even have to look to know that I haven’t gotten the message across. The majority of
Americans, not knowing how much power they have, continue to do little to nothing, especially on
knowing what they’re talking about. Prove me wrong.
It’s scary not knowing who to trust. But again, doing nothing is not an option.
It’s been sixteen years, and now people take it serious.
2006? Give me a break. The Carnivore program was implemented in 1997.
Gone “Far beyond what the Patriot Act would imply.”
Companies with an NSA tap— or should I say, got into a trap, are obligated to deny the
existence of the likes of PRISM because they are prohibited from talking about Fisa corp. requests,
and would get a court order if they denied the access.
And now the corrupted FBI wants us to believe all sorts of things. The ‘rest’ of the data centers in Utah, after Common Core, will be put into play this fall.
A time of soul selling.
When the only people that are left are those “just trying to survive,” with no one defending the
rights of man remain, who at all survives?
When chaplans can’t have a Bible on their desk…
The peace-loving majority become irrelevent when they don’t speak up against the fanatics,
the extremists. Today, Islamic radicals have certain control over policy in Western
countries.
Syria: beheadings of men and boys, one by one, w. kitchen knives; these are the people the U.S. is arming.
Triple-digit temperatures send people to the hospital; one death blamed on the heat.
17,000 govt. branches: after celebrities have had to be used to sell “Obama-care,” the NFL turns the admin. down.
Obama: I’m not going to force churches to gay marry. Yeah, after messing w. the churches, forcing contraceptive selling.
Dick Durbin: if we say you’re not journalists, you won’t get protection.
Cairo: one year later, people shout for Morsi to go, saying he’s just a Muslim Brotherhood version of Mubarak; the Brotherhood threatens to kill opponents; a college student was killed a few days ago in Alexandria while filming a rally.
The IMF says Egypt’s economic growth is at its slowest pace since 1992.
Central Arizona: 19 firefighters killed battling Yarnell Hill wildfire under some of the worst conditions. The chief held a press conference, having lost all of his men, part of a Prescott (Arizona) elite “hot shot” crew. 0% contained, the wildfire has burned 6,000 acres.
“Bill of Rights” and ‘Make America a Better Place’ included in the list of names targeted.
In order to get 503-C status (tax-deducted), the IRS requires a group give their donor list for
verification purposes; the list is supposed to be kept anonymous, but list(s) were leaked to “the
opposition,” “left-wing” groups. And all with taxpayer money.
“Gone too far” is an understatement.
Paula Deen’s book publisher drops— already a pre-order best-seller, yet not printed. What a
disgrace, that the past use of a word will mean all the trolls, sadists that use
“political correctness,” get pleasure off hurting others can take advantage of her “white guilt”
(soft), destroy her and love it.
Fox News Reporting — Benghazi: Truth Behind the Smokescreen lays out everything that went down, including the “Obama, Obama, we’re all Osamas” chant and Ansar al-Sharia taking credit for the attacks.
Pres. Obama did not say that the “War on Terror” is over; he said “all wars must come to an end.” Crowley then says there’s nothing to say that anything in the war efforts will be downplayed. Half of the country believe they’ve been misled by their government.
Judge Andrew Napolitano: I don’t think this is John Stossel; I think this is an imposter.
Stossel isn’t angry enough, some Libertarians say— that he is Libertarian-in-Name-Only; Stossel
claims ‘anger fatigue,’ that w. everything else, the 100+ list of things the government does that’s
appalling already, he’d rather say that he has to learn more, that ‘the jury is out.’
Morgan Spurlock, the man that set out to prove the obvious, that fast food is toxic, does a CNN propumentary where once again the same calls for Progressive “common sense” legislation outweighs the black market reality (promotion of illegal guns) in the banning of magazines above a “reasonable” bullet count.
More and more, he shows to be one of those people that try to lure the public in the name of “helping”; a “centrist” Progressive that holds to an undertone of exploitation. The Constitution is the actual center; you, like many for CNN disgust me.
$1 trillion cost in Farm bill.
Ed Snowden not in Ecuador; asylum tricky.
Carnivore book (has nothing to do w. the 1997 govt. program) gains popularity.
Big agriculture goes after a farmer for owning pigs, not having a permit that you have to jump through hoops to get, countless pages that grow in number that ‘you can’t be ignorant of.’ The farmer *gasp!* asked questions.
I’ll be here, not armed or anything. The Dept. of Natural Resources and industrial ag. powers that be have the “authority” to want the pigs killed, demand $700K ($10K/pig)— just a $90K farm. With probable cause they can storm the place, men w. guns.
Suing, now at $100K in legal costs, while the feds don’t pay a cent, a hearing is set for 7.12 to see if a judge will allow a jury for a civil case (defense of him)— no criminal case (against him) yet, ag. threatening felony charges but not filing any. Treating people like hysterical peons that don’t deserve to know what they’re eating— they want full control of the food supply, in the name of “safety,” even in rural areas where the supposed danger posed is contained.

We’re dealing with an oligarch that will even take down opinion polls— they’re that desperate. You have to be well educated without getting into complicated theories; judges these days will hold in you in contempt of court, and violate rules in defense of special interests.
In order for a free country to remain free, you have to stand up to corruption and name names.
Jeff Sessions writes something good; “we need a nation with an economy, not an economy with a nation.” All while Marco Rubio’s staff mocks blue collar workers, the jobs Americans won’t do, when in reality they have, and more if we get rid of welfare fraud.

CETA: people in their 60s who ‘worked’ in the public sector, never had a real job. B. Sanders is old enough to know that the public Youth programs are just like CETA, that the $1.5 bn. pork won’t be used to help anyone.
So much information at the touch of a button, and no one knows anything. The fragmentation of media has changed the effectiveness of getting the message across. “Social media” in particular has divided people up further in the name of “being in touch.”
Big Brother After Dark: fully TV-14 (only the f-word level censored), “live” and w/o breaks on TV Guide Network, from midnight to 2 a.m. Seeing it myselt… it’s mostly banter— mere talk of conversation and some scheming.
Gasland Part II on HBO: natural gas/methane pockets, fracking and fracktivists. Sort of backyard extraction plants burning the methane upward in stacks— sometimes the fire goes out; the green house gas, which carries 80-103 times the heat storage of CO2 simply disperses to collect in the atmosphere.
Inside Amy Schumer seems to only work raw— 2 a.m., uncut on CC. At first, I didn’t like the show because it looked like they were out of ideas, the transition effect of her moving head in front of a rapidly passing background.
Country suicide: amnesty for 50 mn. new aliens, an incompatible but close bill passes, 68-32. No country has just said, here you go, here are the keys. Oh, that’s right— Rome let in forces into their military that overthrew the country. ICE agents have been begging Senators to not pass this.
Lindsey Graham (R-corrupt): Maybe, maybe it will give Americans hope that things
will get better.
Hold, while I vomit.
Barack Obama (D-corrupt): This bill will get us closer to fixing a broken system. Opponents will try their hardest to break up this bi-partisan aggreement. Bi-partisan desperation, is more like it.
Charles Schumer (D-corrupt): This is the beginning of a wonderful….
Defense clause: Janet N. can decide, for ‘economical reasons,’ to not enforce the provision(s) that the corrupt Rs tout, the magical border enforcement. It’s a good thing we have “Edward Snowden is a traitor” Boehner saying he will only call for a vote if a majority is present for both parties… while pushing for a majority and showing he hasn’t much a spine.

Diary of Chris Stevens out, his last days exposed— never-ending warnings, on an Islamic hit

Supreme high court votes down the Defense of Marriage Act, provisions of Prop 8, citing Equal Protection. The Clintons were definitely happy for this decision, turning down… what Bill Clinton signed into law in 1997, and Hillary made a positive statement for… add Hoyer, Durbin, Murray, Menendez, 30-something Ds out of some 82 Senators that voted for DoMA in 1996.
Yeah, I’ve said before how Equal Protection applies: can’t descriminate against gays marrying heterosexually; you change the law, not overturn what the state-wide voters recently went for— I mean, wasn’t the Voting Rights Act decision yesterday based on application of the Tenth Amendment, the states deciding? It’s almost random the way they decide.
Wendy Davison (D-TX), the senator filibustering an abortion-curbing bill in Texas managed eleven hours, to the midnight deadline, before being interrupted in her thirteen hour attempt, a call and gavel-strike for suspension of the vote. There was a lot of activist support, chanting in reaction to that and other moves by a mostly-male control of the decorum with attempts to trip up other senators.
Rick Perry calls for a special vote next week (7.01), wanting to restore ‘decency and decorum.’ Good luck on this restoration when your guys seem to lead the charge on indecency and denial of decorum.
Wal-Mart drops Paula Deen, Deen cries on NBC Today show, some say unconvincingly. More companies decide to drop her, including Caeser’s Entertainment.
In attempt to boost ratings, it appears CNN will be bringing back Crossfire.
Metanoia-Films: Psywar.
Consumerism, materialism, SPIN (P.R., Edward Bernays), prosperity and inequality, the
“American Dream,” the economic boom of the United States, stemming from World War II. Relative
deprivation: those that want riches, and become colossally rich still aren’t “rich enough.”
In order for there to be a functioning Democracy, information has to get to the people… and there has to be redistribution of wealth— a propumentary that intelligently pokes at propaganda. I wonder how much Soros money went into it…

Election Mass.: Ed Markey (D) or Gabriel Gomez (R).
Tales of uninformed voters being directed every step of the way— four feet in the booth… Is
that kind of voting fraud counted as voting fraud?
Ed Markey, someone that sticks out for all the wrong reasons, someone from a dark past that never worked for a living, and lies about everything, a “climate change champion”—Maddow … won, just over 50% the low-turnout vote.
God help Massachusetts, the country. I hear people complaining on the radio about how things aren’t going to change— well, of course they’re not if you’re not voting!
The Supreme Court votes down the heart of the Voting Rights Act, 5-4, with judges
basically remarking of ‘obsolescence,’ given the state of the country as a whole (that it’s no
longer necessary). Tell that to people who live in the worst parts of the South— better,
but it’s not over.
[Affected: Section 5 of] the Act calls for [an additional higher-standard] formula [unfairly] singling out states/districts where election changes must go through the Federal government. Eric Holder and African American groups inflamed with this decision may want to seek vengence, though this isn’t a “strike-down” or “a gutting.”
In the promotion of climate change non-science and carbon taxing, Pres. Obama plays games w. the Canadian Keystone Pipeline again. ‘It’s not carbon significant’ (red herring) to one crowd, ‘only when it’s carbon-neutral’ to another.
The target here is coal, say media. “Under my (form of a) cap and trade plan, electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.” Remember that gem, Senator Obama in his own words? Yeah, now it’s broader, going after coal and everything else. Always over the talking heads’… heads.
Here’s an ‘immigration’ “path to citizenship” provision that may cause you nightmares: giving those that’ve broken the law, beyond illegally crossing, a clean slate. Identity theft in the list of one’s record… erased. With people having lax education (it’s racist to tell them they need to learn English, *scoff*), instead having a history of crime, with theft in particular… how does legislation get them to change their minds, and respect others?
Magical beliefs that laws necessarily improve things, when in reality, laws are a negative— holding people back; in this case, holding the people that are here legally back. Chuck Schumer can threaten “Hispanics Marching on the Mall, against Boehner” all he wants. The legal latinos, others here that went through the front door don’t like this one bit; they are scared. The Rs giving into bribes can only lose the trust of the public pushing another 1,200+ pages through, when they’re supposed to keep bad legislation from getting passed in the House.
On lawmakers and people using the word treason, accusing Edward Snowden, based more on feelings than what the word means in the U.S. Constitution: “They all swear an oath to the Constitution, but none of them… —none of them swear an oath to read it.”
Laurence O’Donnell (The Last Word) in rare form… rare enough that I’ve never seen him do this before, conducting a monologue with facts that check out. ‘We are not at war with China … at war with Russia.’ I dare say, for that monologue, O’Donnell did an okay job.
Even though this is more of a tease than a statement that he himself appreciates the founding document, wouldn’t use this as part of exploitation, but the ignorance in this country is pretty bad.
Twelve Taliban, dressed as cops, take several lives, tourists.

CNN wastes viewer’ time by covering the plane from Moscow to Havana… Snowden’s seat empty.
Turns out that liberal groups were in the targeting eyes of the IRS as well; did the Republicans overplay their hand. A more legitimate question (and excuse my changing the question, something propagandist Chris Hayes does— I think the [insert f…fascinating words] question is): …are you corrupt to the bone?
Everything about that line is riddled with errors. Contrary to Bill O’Reilly’s B.S., ‘Republican’ is not conservative; contrary to most talk (and the past me), ‘Progressive’ is not liberal; and it’s not the first time we hear the ‘overplay their hand’ verbage too— trying to excuse the criminal acts and criminal nature because the story’s told more than once, as if ‘trite makes it right.’ Too little play, and you’d still be hearing these bastards in the media calling the afflicted, the people the FBI didn’t even bother to interview, ‘conspiracy theorists’ for accusing the IRS of doing something the IRS admitted to doing.
Oh, yeah, and those that’ve reported the whole story have already told you that the targeting/profiling was based on the signed name, including Jewish groups. (Socialism always goes after the Jews.) And oh, yeah #2: there’s been no evidence that the “Progressive,” “Left” and “Anti-Republican” groups were given the same treatment anyway. So the ‘news’ being sold is twisted to begin with.
The George Zimmerman murder trial kicks off with the prosecution reciting Zimmerman’s f-bombs, and the defense doing a knock-knock joke. It may already be a circus on day one.

Update: remnants of the Bush and Clinton administrations are running things at “the top” in the incompetent admin., w. Bush admin.’s Justice Dept. #2 Jim Comey replacing R. Mueller as FBI director in September.
The new world order they see, having already given into the other powers’ demands… and they’re all in line in their own ways, the “open society,” leaving the citizen more transparent and vulnerable— what Obama means when he says “we will be more transparent.” We, in the “American family” he brings up… really, more you than them.
Heh, heh, the Invisible Committee doesn’t believe in the family.
If it didn’t sound absurdly out-of-control-ly enough, Google will be setting out balloons like satellites, where (broadband) users will have to put up basket-ball, fly eye-like receivers. Looking at the word satellite, it’s French, having an original meaning relative to… ‘hireling,’ the underpaid satellite of a worker.
Thirteenth Amendment: Slavery is Abolished…except in the case of inmates. …
Up until the late 1930s, where a law passed barred inmate labor within the private sector,
prison companies would profit off the labor, paying inmaes little to nothing, exploiting their
labor. In 1979 that law was relaxed.
Also decided by the colluded government (it was the Carter years), one of the underlying factors that led to the NSA/CIA spying: it’s not the customer’s calls or call data, it’s the phone company’s, where, little by little, access to the call data would increase to such a point that it would just become direct (Prism).
There was a comic strip that joked about how the govt. oughtta just make it’s own Google, YouTube, efficient and cute enough with its kitten videos, etc. But the govt. already managed its own arm in all of what’s here. It’s called the Cloud.

It’s overkill, another P.R. (Progressive Republican) says.
Speaker Boehner doesn’t even hear himself: illegal immigration will drop 25% for the Senate
bill. How do you predict these things, with such lax enforcement of already existing border
laws, how do you predict from low-resolution, innacurate stats? Answer: you don’t. This
is insane. Absolutely insane.
Revealed (NYT?), how the “debate” has been orchestrated out of the White House: with special space made for language drafting, including ammendments to the bill, giving up/down votes on all of the ammendments, Cecilia Mumos is the acting figure, on behalf of the radical La Raza group.
This is what democracy looks like.
More people showed for the Tea party rally(ing) than showed for Pres. Obama’s Berlin forgettable
speech (only 8,000 showed).
In order to apply for “Obamacare,” you have to go through a complicated process, where the govt. knows everything about you. And boy is it convenient that ‘they already know everything about you’— no, they don’t; quantity over quality means they won’t really know anything about you.
After being on for 11 yrs., Food Network dismisses Paula Deen for past usage of the N-word during a time of frustration, living in the South… also an event where people dressed as slaves — [could not be verified]. And of course, she was fired after apologizing, twice. A Public Relations move (not to mention the PR move that was the first video), after a Chinese company plans a take-over… And she’s an Obama supporter.
Update: the show ends at the end of the month; they are cutting all ties… for now.

A very unlikely female suicide bomber for a wife puts the husband’s life on hold. It’s a
ground-breaking movie that lays out a large array of reasons as to why some people blow themselves

that criminalizes even talking to Israelis.
Obesity declared a disease by AMA, one day later, legislation for Medicare to cover to obesity.
The search for Jimmy Hoffa: did they find his body? …n…No… Hitting nothing, they stopped the search. Again. Like a Teamsters “Where’s Waldo?” but those stripes worn are only metaphorical.
As more people don’t what they’re hearing, crooks in WDC now fast tracking the amnesty bill (legalization bef. border control)— an attempt to pass it before 7.04.
It should be passed—O’Reilly Factor promotes the legislation, doesn’t help rumors that Fox News is lobbying for it.
The CBO report put the number of additional illegal immigrants at 12 mn. with it; garbage media tout fantasy nos. on deficit reduction— nos. reflect tax base increase (it doesn’t work like that). Thanks a lot, Bill, for being for the thoroughly phony bill. (Doesn’t help of “phony Bill” either.)
MSNBC: The Place For Angry White People.
Rachael Maddow on Coulter, Beck— angry, offensive white woman, and kook that buys into
fake/conspiracy internet stories. Oh, wait— that’s Maddow, with her far-out narratives going
further every time I tune in. Like Chris Matthews, but short on the ‘accidental’ expectoration, add
“Geek Week” and other things meant “to look smart.” But if you recall, the “Tea bagger” chatter,
and if you saw on Real Time w. Bill Maher (which you probably haven’t), her actually covering
her ears in denial.
Offensive, closed-off, overpaid angry white people— mostly males— on MSNBC, warning of angry white people on Fox News, a far more tame network in comparison.

Martin Bashir, Right-by-Right-Wing (RXRW, and very pseudo-creative), after the same old defamation, of Bachmann, with cut-up footage of today’s sans-Rubio rally: the bigger target of the right-wing, the IRS. —How long has he been in the U.S.? Doesn’t he know that most people in this country don’t like the IRS? And such an idiot— anyone of any country of their tax collecters? Ughh.

If it were under the Bush admin., we would not hear the end of it.
Media downplay arming the Syrian rebels: small arms, anti-air, anti-tank

al Qaeda-affiliated rebels.
Dick Cheney just had to sit his (somewhat thinner now) fat ass down (on FNS) and say Edward Snowden committed something worse than the terrorists’ ‘worst acts of terrorism.’
Out of all the things chewing away at the Fourth Amendment, he just had to do that. Let me say here, that while everything Snowden did wasn’t legal, he did not perform anything like act an of terrorism. And like Geraldo Rivera drawing in the sand (if you can remember that, during the Iraq war), he did not disclose anything nearly specific enough in detail to harm or endanger anyone let alone national security, but harm the reputations of the overreaching officials in this government. It is with their giant, giant egos that they find that harm the same as national harm. They care too little of our actual liberties.

Co. wildfire toll: 15,000 acres; 500 homes; 55% contained; no other deaths reported, but some have… been allowed to return.
All about likeability: Avril Haines, having no intel experience and, instead, erotic book night experience, has been appointed the new director of the CIA. Who in the f__k is running things?!
Heritage Foundation puts the U.S. at #10 on the “freedom index” list.
#1 is Hong Kong… (it looks like Snowden was right, after all). Followed by countries like
Switzerland and Chile. Chile is said to be more free than the United States.
Eleven-year-old Mexican-American Sebastion called all sorts of names, slurs by posers (on twitter, of course) after singing the National Anthem at an NBA finals game. A real American kid, they call him ‘wetback,’— the works. Son of a Navy man, radio host Joe Pags invited Sebastion on, where Joe played the audio, and said all the haters can kiss his ass.
Resolving fear of law suits in a supposedly free country.
TX gov. Perry signs a bill allowing teachers and students to say “Merry Christmas.” In response
to groups like Freedom from Religion, of all groups anti-First Amendment rights.
‘We do not condone heroics.’
A Canadian school, no less— the principal basically tattle-tales on a student for defending
another student over a potential stabbing by a bully. She tell the parents, got the
response, by the time the teachers got there, the kid would’ve been dead. Her response?
“That’s besides the point.” Mon Dieu!
The Trek Across Maine event will go on despite the death of bicyclist David LeClaire(?), 23, from Watertown, MA.
Ronald Reagan tried amnesty, with supposedly three million immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally legalized before enforcement of border laws. It failed. Because the system refused on the ‘enforce the border’ part. It’s still wide-open.
Now it comes again, trying to lure in the Democrats, when every time they reneg. Desperate for Democrat votes, they want and need uninformed voters voting for them. I hate to say it, but on this one Limbaugh is right. The proponent party of slavery in the 19th century, the D party needs people in poverty. But it applies to both parties now. Both parties smear us, the people trying to inform you, corrupt politicians and wanna-bes, as if they’re supposed to be rich and famous or something.
Mary “higher than you” Landrieu, of course doesn’t know jack.
An R from South Dakota calls Mary out on something, but in her response this week, regarding
border security, not only does the D show that she’s missing the geography of the country, but logic
in the names. She responded: McCain is more capable of representing the Southern border, because
Arizona borders with Mexico, and South Dakota borders with Canada; that is quite
different.
Gee, is North Daktota a part of Canada— a province?
A border fence, with or without barbed-wire (underlining divisiveness), Landrieu… voted for fencing before, but now she’s ‘sensible.’ “We all voted for this,” said a fellow state rep.
Republican “hari-kari” (Japanese for “bowel-cut”): wow— we really would’ve been worse off w. a President Jeb Bush. Talking of an effort to “rebuild the demographic pyramid.” He talks of immigration in a way at best fantasy, at worst treating immigrants like a commodity: “immigrants are (very) fertile.” Wow.
Three days for sharing another FB page… a page that is still up.
Turns out, Americans are much more supportive of the idea of spying when it’s their political party. Big surprise. And it’s not like the agents change political parties w. the White House; they stay much the same. Uninformed voters, et al.

All of the big names, including John Stossel and Art Laffer will be attending. July 10? See FreedomFest.com for details.
We are now arming the Syrian rebels— lethal aid to al-Qaeda-affiliated rebels. I was warned of those calling for it, and now it’s happened. Aid one side of two sides in a civil war where both sides are horrible— al-Assad v. Hezbollah, al-Qaeda affiliates. When the Sunnis “win,” they will just go ahead with ethnic cleansing.
It gets worse: the L.A. Times reports the admin. is considering the idea of taking in the refugees, with Germany considering 5,000. Congress refused taking in refugees from Iraq during that war, but ‘this is a good idea.’ So many already defecting to Turkish refugee camps.
A 21st century arming, like the 1980s arming of the Taliban or siding with one in the Iran v. Iraq war, also in the ’80s. Putting people back in danger, it will come back to bite us. Except this time, with the Middle East already on fire, plus the defections overloading Turkey, another human rights stain, all of this promotes World War III.
FBI director Mueller wants the public to believe that if they had the access (a la spying programs) they could’ve prevented 9/11, but can’t answer simple questions, he doesn’t know who’s responsible for what, and none of these guys, after saying they’ve prevented terrorist attacks, can give a single specific example. Not a one.
Update: two examples, neither of them as big (not able to pull it off) as the Boston bombing. Al Qaeda’s looking for “a thousand paper cuts” now— many, many small attacks.
Purple fingers under a dictatorship, Iranians vote: state media reports about 70% turn-out.

A former vice mayor has a past of, to women 16-65, running his vehicle at high speed, to 90 MPH, exposing his chest, somehow sticking his member out the window, wetting his hand and mastu— A vice mayor doing this. He drove off when they wrote down his tag number, of course.
Harvard: money corrupts you, you don’t want it, also using the extreme and inaccurate “money is the root of all evil.” Study says even the smell of money corrupts you. While “the top” gains everything.
“How business decisions can be framed so money isn’t a problem,” because the government should have it all, and in a recent Pew poll, only 41% say fathers should be providers. The country gets weaker and weaker.

Pictures related to James “Whitey” Bulger trial to be published Sun. in the Boston Herald.
The suits cut away from “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance, and now they want Jay Leno out. A forced retirement, with the salary cuts, then “you’re just not popular among the younger audiences,” but it’s really because he’s not “politically correct,” that he’s not in the suicidal tank like the people at MSNBC.
The more Leno criticizes the Obama administration, the higher the ratings, and boy have they risen. And then he’s gone. Replaced with Falon, who isn’t “politically incorrect.”
But, of course, David Letterman is “the good guy” here, ripping into Sarah Palin again after she was re-hired at Fox News. Which is more important to mention— the govt. getting out of control, or Palin on a TV program? (The moonbats programmed to say the latter… paraphrazing, of course; they’re useful idiots.)
With some generations removed, an actual Freud talks about how much the mainstream really doesn’t understand things. He and his wife over the phone… it was rather spiritual, the nature of their talk, contacting “the other side,” including Sigmund. At a time getting messages from Michael Jackson, that he’s trapped in limbo due to the Propophol.
Our natural equalities are important. When we focus only on our uniqueness, our differences, we get conflict, wars. (I would say that the latter would be due to more the like of artificial differences, not natural uniqueness.)
Boycotts for the purpose of silencing people are for cowards.
Red line crossed: Syria has, in small amounts, used nerve gas to kill its own people. There is the question of how, and… whether this is even true. Reason to arm the rebels, some say. You can expect the admin., ‘higher than thou,’ to not care about justification in their response.

A Constitutional crisis. Boehner playing games, says he has 70 Rs to pass the amnesty bill. Politics first, those that have sold their soul will lose as they always lose in the end. After all the closed-door efforts. Something happened on Capitol Hill, something undisclosed.
After Cass Sunstein’s Nudge, it has gone to Push, with all of the tested experimentation on actors infiltrating pro-liberty groups to now be exercised as if normal. That those standing against the machine should be treated as nutjobs, conspiracy theorists, even if what they say is true— and everything else Sunstein wrote about… and everything he made into policy.
People with shady/criminal pasts are being let in, with crooks for police officers, and a staggering number of people being hired at the State Dept. It may be difficult to know who to trust, so you better have openly thanked the actual good guys; tell the good cops that you are not a part of this machine before it is too late.
Campaign Corporation: Microtargeting. Sasha Eisenberg literally wrote a book on it. The
political power of data, and identity salience.
Making use of television (information sold by cable companies), Facebook advertising, getting
“the real Romney”— across— that’s what got an incumbent reëlected; finding the persuadable voters at
a low level. To target individuals, but not believe in the individual.
Those against the loss of our liberty and against the bad legislation pushed through now are rallying in Washington in a matter of hours. Have you heard about that? Probably not. There is such silence from the media because you are supposed to believe that these people are nothing but haters.
Against big-government Republicans like John Boehner, who’s called Edward Snowden a “traitor,” repeating the mistakes of the Bush admin., now playing games believing he and some seventy Republicans he says are on board with the big immigration bill will fix immigration for good.
But it is legislation that does nothing to fix the problem and does everything to make it worse, to at least reward bad behavior, promote chain immigration. At worst it destroys society as we know it by relaxing criminal background checks even further— to literally look the other way.
Illegal immigration has gotten so bad that cops are told to not pull over those suspected, just ‘let them go’ because they never show in court. This bill continues the practice of looking the other way after more crimes are committed. This is flat-out amnesty.
But some people are insane enough to put politics over their very existence.
Some that say, ‘let’s just remove the word ‘illegal’ on illegal immigration; that’ll fix it.’ And some just see… ‘Democrat votes.’ That really moves both parties into desperation mode.
Boehner, Rubio and the like sell their souls for politicals points, the “survival of the party,” despite the survival of the whole frickin’ country. Shredding the Constitution as they go, they forget why they went there in the first place. ‘Because there has to be power left.’ No, that is what ego says— power first.
And likewise, but different, Kelly Ayotte has been bribed over with the fantasies of border control and exemption. The powers in place have already, time and again said and shown that they will not enforce the laws.

‘Republicans Blowing Up the…’
It used to be here and there, but now MSNBC is all-day propaganda, with “Borderline Personality”
for R involvement in comprehensive immigration reform (amnesty). Again and again, making out Rs
and conservatives [out] like the OKC bomber— who wasn’t a conservative, didn’t have any of the
characteristics of the R partisans, was a narcissitic agnostic who wanted to become an
icon. Why the hell is Tim Pawlenty signing up for this horrible crap, now on all day? [And on CNBC
too.]
Former CIA technician Edward Snowden, 29, the person that leaked documents on PRISM [and two other] NSA/CIA programs goes public, in asylum in Hong Kong. The U.S. govt. sought criminal prosecution before he went public. He talked to The Guardian, said he doesn’t have any special skills (though he’s an infrastructure analyst). It is especially criminal to leak Top Secret documents (not to be confused with ‘Classified,’ documents— documents with unofficial data).
With a six-figure (over $200K) income, why would he be doing this? There comes a point
where it is too much, too creepy, and nothing will be done to push it back. You’re willing to
accept the risk, no matter what the outcome is.
He says he is doing it because of his
conscience. A new power will get in, with the flip of a switch, because of a new crisis, and
there will not be anyone to oppose it.
He answered the question, why Hong Kong? Other than mainland China, China is just as free as any Western government… (Yeah, I don’t buy that part.) Hong Kong and the U.S. have an extradition treaty, and he may be arrested soon. He could’ve gone somewhere Julian Assange would’ve gone, but… China. Also: new cover on TIME (2013.06.17), “The World According to China,” with a weird red design— what’s up with that?

The Cloud is central with this NSA crap, and Kim Komando continues to promote it. Flash drives bad, Cloud good— what are you, insane? Sure, the drives can be lost or stolen, and will eventually fail like all semiconductor electronics, but with the Cloud you are necessarily putting the data in the hands of remote servers that can lose power or get wiped, necessarily making the data available to hackers at a distance.

To Dzhorkhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the Boston Marathon bombers. Because he is cute or
something. Like Dalmer, he had the motive of killing people… while looking good. You have the
right to be an idiot and send letters and donate money to him. You really do. But you have to know
that he’s a manipulative murderer.
Nobody is listening to the content of people’s telephone calls. That’s not what
this debate is about.
That’s the President, and a president that doesn’t want a debate— I mean
come on. When it comes to streamlining going after conservatives, and now, the general populace,
arrogant power has no time for a debate. Especially when he’s just a shell— not even the person or
people actually making these things happen. He’s the orator, the salesman, pipeliner— er, piper.
Pied piper.
Something to ‘stop terror,’ they claim has… but hasn’t. A 2009 case!… that the U.K. police alone stopped… knowing ’cause they vacuumed up NSA information— that the data is shared with the U.K. and other countries, and can be misused and hacked into. The admin. lied about that not being the case.
Companies with an NSA tap deny PRISM existence… due to being prohibited from talking about Fisa requests. And now Senators don’t want to be spied on— ‘the greatest threat is cybersecurity.’ Not cyberterrorism, cybersecurity. And the Pres. vetoes all of it.
Russia told the FBI to look at the Tsarnaev brothers, but no, they raid a teenager’s house for hacking into a sports webpage. And the kid that exposed the Stuebenville rape case, no less.
Jury nullification. Where jurors have the ability to disagree with a law. A man gives out Jury Association fliers for it. And when [he was] alone, the judge, like a bully, orders his arrest. Now just out in FL, Mark S. has to appeal on First Amendment grounds, up to the Supreme Court. Calling into Free Talk Live, he said he was told not to tespass on the judge’s private property, though the property is public.

The fact that there is widespread existence of the jury’s prerogative, and approval of its

establish as an imperative that the jury must be informed by the judge of that power.
–UNITED STATES v. DOUGHERTY (1972), U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT.
473 F.2d 1113 (1972)
Santa Monica: 5 dead, including a gunman (by police) after he goes on shooting rampage down the street.
Yesterday, disclosed: legislation that you can’t annoy police officers. But just in New York, go back to sleep. With three NSA agents ‘let go’ because they found out how the agency was spying on a populace in general (all +330 mn. Americans), and the media go back to silence, fluff stories, buying into the ‘national security’ lie… Those in charge are irresponsible with the data, with many cases in point past tense. NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Facebook, Yahoo and others.
Recording your shopping lists, and anything else they can (it’s not isolated to Verizon), not just your phone data… Welcome to 1984, which should be retitled 2013. Read up, promote curiosity on the literature and defend even those you don’t like from tyranny. Because fascists say, don’t read this. Fascists tell you to shut up. Fascists put you into an identity group, divide and conquer. We individuals believe in freedom of speech, practice, privacy and protection so that even our so-called enemies can live to see the day, as little are the errors of their way in comparison to the monster that exists today.
Google cares deeply about the security of our users’ data. We disclose user data to
government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to
time, people allege that we have created a government ‘back door’ into our systems, but Google does
not have a back door for the government to access private user data.
But I know that’s not true. This is downplaying how access to private information on account of it not being immediate. But violation of privacy is common practice.
It was called ‘absurd’ when asked about censorship and cracking down based on “the right speech,” though these “social networking sites” have already allowed censorship based on ‘offensiveness,’ that saying “Islam isn’t always peaceful,” or being against gay marriage have already resulted in muzzled speech. And “political correctness” always grows, as it is not based on accuracy of information but at worst based the want or allowance of who’s in power, and what is popular at the least, something that flies in the face of free speech— in the defense of unpopular speech.
According to The Guardian, Microsoft – which is currently running an advertising
campaign with the slogan ‘Your privacy is our priority’ – was the first, with collection beginning
in December 2007.
It was followed by Yahoo in 2008; Google, Facebook and PalTalk in 2009; YouTube in
2010; Skype and AOL in 2011; and finally Apple, which joined the program in 2012. The program is
continuing to expand, with other providers due to come online.
… The revelation also supports concerns raised by several U.S. senators during the
renewal of the Fisa Amendments Act in December 2012, who warned about the scale of surveillance the
law might enable, and shortcomings in the safeguards it introduces.
When the FAA was first enacted, defenders of the statute argued that a significant
check on abuse would be the NSA’s inability to obtain electronic communications without the consent
of the telecom and internet companies that control the data. But the PRISM program renders that
consent unnecessary, as it allows the agency to directly and
unilaterally seize the communications off the companies’ servers.
Trending on Yahoo! blah #3: Drunk Governor Deval Pattrick. A one-man chardonnay summit.
Verizon phone records seized since 2007— tens of millions Americans’ nos. gathered by the NSA. It was the “end of the world” under Bush, but the press sits on it now. The Guardian (U.K.) reports on it and all of the sudden it’s a story. Part of the Patriot Act, recording the meta-data— number (includes location) and length…
The Bush-Obama White House— “They’re Spying on us,” more ‘blame Bush.’ And one bad R
applauds this— of course, ‘it’s an important matter of national security,’ though as I know, such
“terrorist” numbers and the cell phones used have been overlooked, ignored. Judge warrants,
evidence justification? Of course not; more arrogance and incompetence. Scandal
exposure of corruption #4, no dismissals, nothing.

the same lie on five TV networks.
The lack or drop in overall warming in the last fifteen years accepted, do the uninformed and politically insane drop ‘global warming’? No. In Europe, they’ve taken that as “a second chance”— that they are going full speed ahead with tiny cars, legislative work on carbon taxing, more limits on the individual, and redistribution of wealth. It’s still a Marxist world there, as “mere youths” set Sweden on fire, incite and say their country isn’t socialist enough.
