I hate to state the obvious again, but the programming on CNN is just awful and useless.  Another month.  And the NBC News special is a bunch of propaganda like the rest of the news today.  The country will not go into default if the ceiling isn’t raised; the Fed won’t allow that.

Breivik’s goal of terror is working on one end

Playing to those who believe what they read again, with headlines like Norway Calls Out Christian Extremists (NYT).
Democracy Now! reads many (hardly original) quotes of Anders Breivik’s, and guest, Jeff Sharlot, stirs the pot on how the criminally insane man represents “the American right.”  Anders Breivik’s goal is for govt. to control companies, control oil, and this time he’s trying to get action through fear.  The progressives only make things worse.  That sounds crazy, but if you— no, there is no sanity, no originality, therefore you can’t understand what he’s saying or doing from the text!  Sharlot tries to use the plagiarized material to downplay Bill O’Reilly’s fact-based argument (in other words, an actual argument) that there is no Christian connection, including the fact that he has no ties to any church, other than using a cross symbol for his manifesto.  Ted Kaczynski knew what he was doing.  More insanity, from both Ted and Jeff.

What you get under socialism: Nationalism vs. Multiculturalism or Communism.  The next (predisposed) guest “knew” the attacks were by... Nazi groups are right-wing.  It’s the same mechanism, the same... however, a pretty alone guy.  “Analysis” that promotes nationalism, and arrives at a contradiction.

“You Can’t Kill a Planet And Live On It Too” Op-Ed Op-Ed

And enter Al Gore’s global warming stuff, as if the marking, grouping “deniers” isn’t fascistic enough (the root word of fascism is literally “grouping,” to isolate “enemies,” deceptively grow your own through ideology).  I’m broke, but somehow I’m part of some grand “polluter” conspiracy to stop people from talking about something that’s scientifically incorrect.  Pollution is an issue that has to be resolved; tackle that, not the gas plants need to make oxygen.

In order for the theory of global warming to work, there has to be warming on a global scale w/o counterbalance.  You can’t pick and choose your data, but that’s what so-called scientists have done.  A theory requires an ability to formulate and demonstrate after the fact.  Disclosed “fudge factors” detail how rigged the formulations have been.  And to make things worse, the more outspoken have admitted that they’re there for the redistribution of wealth.

Higher highs and lower lows fit into the profile of a desert.  You eventually get droughts with the obstruction of sunlight via visible pollution (soot, part-aluminum gases).  And with less water vapor to store heat you have lower temperatures on record.  Parts of the Midwest are literally turning into desert lands—less ozone, ground water and plant life, less obstruction of sunlight, making higher temperatures on record.  There has been climate change, and attempts to control it have only made things worse.

Revisionist Movie

New Robert Redford movie paints the Weather Underground as patriots.  The terrorist group had to go Underground after openly, humorlessly talking about eliminating a percentage of the population (because they wouldn’t conform).  The Weather Underground, along with other groups, managed to kill a number of people, and to this day refuse to call those who’ve died in the explosions human beings unless being members of the groups/movement.  Does that sound patriotic?  The rewriting of history will only get worse so long as people tolerate it.

Thom Hartmann came out of the partisan closet (again): “I hope Obama is reelected, and I will do all I can to make sure he’s reelected.”  The caller responded, “Wow.”  “And I hope he turns into (an) F.D.R.”  ’Cause we all know F.D.R. ended the Great Depression, not the war, not the expiration of The New Deal...and its creator said Deal doesn’t work.  Crude, self-aggrandizing special effects, with Hartmann’s name everywhere for everyone!

Another Canadian documentary that could not be made in the U.S.

The technology failed, they say... adverse effects of genetic modifications, how PCBs are found in all 7 continents and Monsanto.  The documentary that the FDA doesn’t want you to see.

The irony in “food health,” “biotechnology for good,” is that Monsanto bought off the “food” part of the govt.  Genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) like Monsanto soybeans wreak havoc, and cover over 250 mn. acres to square miles in total crop use.  RoundUp resistance: 70%; BT generation: 20%.  Talk about setting up the food industry, eventually to own all corn once it all cross-germinates.  Whistleblowers intimidated, persecuted, the methods become totalitarian in a GMO-dominated world.

Sued for false advertising twice, that the product biodegrades, and isn’t harmful to the environment.  RoundUp dissolves only 2% in 28 days.  Transgenetic cotton ravaged by disease— not better yielding as stated.  In India, Four times as expensive, yet non-BT isn’t nearly as accessible.  The vicious circle— farmers committing suicide is commonplace.  More than a scandal — complicated, and requiring pesticides, not suitable for small growers — the opposite of what is sold for their GMOs.  And then you have contamination of GMOs includes Mexican corn.  40% of corn in the U.S. is of the genetically modified kind.

The transgene inserts itself in other seeds; the other seeds are uncontrollably affected.
You get flowers with strange pedals, sometimes three ears coming out of one leaf.  One farmer says of the GMO corn, they are really monsters.  And to eventually pay royalties, as Monsanto owns a patent for the germ.

Involvement in contraband seed...
Smatecek and Murphy to undo claims—Monsanto PR, fake scientists.  [T]o destroy the reputation(s) of everyone that stands in their way.  They advertise, “a world...fewer chemicals, less deforestation,” when the reality is clearly the opposite.  Deforestation came anyway.  A green desert—what’s left after the farmers were screwed.  Unprotected farmworkers sprayed with RoundUp...  The only benefit w/ the GMOs is short-lived: monopolization.  Evil.

And so, the fight for food sovereignty began.

Lie: knowingly selling a falsehood as something true.

We’re now openly aiding the Libyan rebels, “as Qaddafi reacts.”

Rupert Murdoch makes a full-page apology in all News Corporation-owned newspapers, reading, We are sorry.  The large heading follows more text.

Steven Moore says Obama’s sending mixed messages.  Not really— if you listen, and know the people around him, there are no mixed messages in his speech hours ago; only cuts to the additional spending.

After Murdoch withdrew his bid for BSkyB (U.K. parliament pressured him out of it), Rebekah Brooks, now-former editor and CEO of News of the World, was finally allowed to resign.

Direct democracy: mob rule

Van Jones was trying to keep his A-game in conning people on The Big Picture, where Thom Hartmann mentioned, “my days in the SDS.”  A larger, 1,584 count than the 800 Tea part, as size matters over working ideas to them.  And again, the American Dream, the progressive lie where people should all have a home and a job without choice or constitutionality.  Talking abt. austerity as if it’s a bad thing leads people to think the left is intentionally trying to collapse the system, and some of them are.  Part of the mesmerizing B.S. coming from Van Jones: Jobs not cuts.  Spending cuts are necessary no matter what, and government employment doesn’t count in the unemployment rates (rigged game), and con artists like Van Jones will continue to blame others for the damages of another insane ideology based on Marxism.

Egypt’s still in crisis.  Gee, barbaric, mindless pushes for democracy doesn’t work, does it?  But I know— I’m the insane one for getting that, years ago.  The warnings go unheeded.

Michele Bachmann’s husband’s comments from a radio conversation were edited, doctored.  He said that adolescents don’t have to barbarically give into impulses.  Only one “correction” made (no apology for repeating a smear) on AC-360.  Keeping no one honest.

Hollywood unlearning: Mila Kunis, born in the Soviet Union, compares casual sex to communism.  Publicity stunt for Friends With Benefits?

1850.07.14 marks the first manual refrigeration, freezing sparkling wine in a desertedly cold place.

Gold 1,589.6 (8:38 EDT); Yen, 79.03 (~8:39 EDT).

Way back when, with the 1967 borders, it was no man’s land— a bullet riddled, fence-covered place that no one wanted to walk through.  Now the area’s full of life, with transportation in place of the fences.  The media are lying about how it is— they don’t even bother to go there.  They let al-Jazeera, the propaganda network that said the U.S. was attacking them during the Iraq war with no evidence or reason to say so other than having an anti-American agenda...  The courage of those attending 8.24: people identified that live in the Middle East can’t go home if caught in photography or else they’ll be killed.  A man from Pakistan says his family will be harmed if he’s spotted.  “They will kill me,” the recurring message.

Yet another blatant way to tell that Thom Hartmann is lying: last time it’s, Glenn Beck sets the conservative agenda (who believes that?).  Now it’s a literal shame swallower (watch the video): we’re so glad you’re running again; we’ve missed you, talking to Alan Grayson, the guy who lies without reacting to himself (poker-faced liar).  Three specially trained liars in one: Lizz Winstead appeared at the end.  And I’m not counting all of the other crap during the middle of the program.  Ugly, ugly propaganda— it becomes taxpayer exempt stuff with a resemblance to MS-NBC content, yet worse, with no standards, regulations.  The Big Picture.

Elizabeth Warren talked of “safety,” out of the Financial Consumer Protection ass.

NOVA: Kings of Camouflage ends with testing the flamboyant cuttlefish.  Not only does this cuttlefish carry deadly a toxin that’s difficult to identify (a new class), the toxin is in its muscles (don’t eat it).

Larry O.: ’After taking the debt ceiling hostage; but the last two months...”  Chris M.: “reggy kilowatts,” making ‘obsession,’ GOP interest in incandescents, horrible people on television to make the lack of choice yet another bigoted subject in “figuring out” what people want when there shouldn’t be any of this crap in the first place.  What a reason to call me a hatemonger for pointing out something everybody would hate: the banning of freedom of choice.  The liars need to be pulled off the air.

The 56-yr.-old Bulgaria carrying 208 passengers sinks.  Engines malfunctioning on overcrowded vessel.  80 reportedly rescued.

Ban on manufacturing of inefficient incandescents put on the floor...failed repeal.  The zombie Thomas Edison will eat our brains.  Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the first bulb to go will be the 100 watt, followed by the 75W in 2013, then the 60 and 40 watts in 2014.  Germany got around the ban by marketing them as space heating “Heatballs.”

Congressman Keith Elison talks about how extremist conservatives are, not using ‘Republican’ since Abraham Lincoln was the guy who directly ended slavery.  They don’t like strong women, always want them pregnant, and the south were all abt. states rights.  No, the constitution of the south doesn’t give you any states rights on slavery.  But, of course, that doesn’t count with the false narratives that the shallow people in the audience are supposed to believe.

The press aren’t going to stop anything

They ain’t gonna stop a takeover of the country —more like, the takeover now happening...  Cass Sunstein oversees everything regulation going through.  And then you have the Office of Information.  (Well, you don’t have it yourself.)  Out of control, yet predictable since history repeats itself.  Hillary Clinton will be held up as the leader, bringing ‘justice,’ putting away the obvious criminals.  Info on this goes back to May, or even further.  China militarily called George Soros an economic terrorist a while back.  Unlike Soros, Clinton is an actual leftist.  Soros is a capitalist, buying, using others.

The U.S. Debt-to-GDP is expected to hit 200% by 2030.  Spending 2x what’s taken in.  Changes in taxes isn’t going to change that, especially as half of all revenue is wasted; higher taxes = higher spending, resulting in more deficit spending (debt).  Solution: revamp the tax code and all spending; start from scratch.  Small, simple government.  They’re not your parents.
