So now, here we are, another attack on our Religion. I do not care what denomination of Christianity you belong too, if you are Catholic, Buddhist, Jewish etc..we all have our Religious freedoms in this country, and they have been attacked over and over again.

We the people have had enough. These Anti American’s, you know the Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Marxists, Fascist, and Communists need to get the hell out of our Country since you hate it so bad. They are stripping our rights away little by little, do you realize that?

Do you realize, they are desecrating the very Flag that gave them those freedoms? Do you realize, they are demoralizing the men and women who serve in our Armed Forces that has fought for their rights? Do you realize, they want to destroy the Constitution? Do you realize, they want total power, total control, and you idiots fall for their delusional ideology, their facade on social issues. Have any of you actually picked up a book to read, if so, have any of you read Karl Marx? Books on communism? If you can read, then go to your library, buy it on the internet, and take a peek at what it all says, for you have fallen prey, they are the sheep in wolf’s clothing.

You are so blinded by their ideology, that even when you do read it, see the actual truth, you will still be too idiotic to understand it and take it at face value, you won’t be able to look back at the past 60 years to see how it has come true, you won’t be able to sit there and look in the mirror and call yourself an idiot for believing their delusion. You have been programmed to never accept the truth, let alone see it.

We the people have always talked about government tyranny, and now you know why. We do not believe the government will come and start the first throw, they are too smart for that. What they will do, is keep attacking our freedoms until We the People stand up and be heard, they will let We the People start a Revolution.

I propose a peaceful Revolution, how, just like the Democrats/Liberals do, rally, protest, in large numbers, make these the largest issues our Country will ever face, let our voices be heard for the next 100 years, scream and yell for the whole world to hear us. Call and write all of our elected officials, daily, hourly, weekly, that We the People, will no longer tolerate this ideology, and anyone who does not stand with us, will no longer be in office, for elections are just around the corner.

We the People, it is time to stand up, stand for our Freedoms, Stand for our Constitution, Stand for our Country, Stand for our Flag, and most of all, Stand for We the People. Be loud, be heard, be vivacious, be the largest drama queens we can be and make reality shows look like cartoons. Not only is this our right, it is also a social issue, for it takes away from society as a whole as they take away our Freedoms.

Get all the support you can in your communities, for every elected State Representative, they have local offices in the districts they represent, and start protesting, daily and weekly. Walk in and let your voices be heard. If we do not take a stand now, we will not be able too in the future, for we will no longer have the Rights in our Constitution to do so.

We the People will no longer idly sit back and watch you strip our rights away. We the people will no longer accept your ideology of tolerance and acceptance, when they have none themselves. We the People will no longer allow you to attack our personal freedoms, our rights to our faiths. We the People will no longer allow you to make laws that interfere with our Constitution. We the People stand up and say, “You work for us, and you’re fired”.

We will no longer accept the ideology of Common Core in our Educational system, We will no longer accept a Teacher’s personal political beliefs. We will no longer accept your fake wars on women, race, and class. We will no longer allow you to use minorities for your political gain, all in the name of racism. We will no longer allow you to exploit the wealthy for your delusional utopia. We will no longer allow you to take parental rights away. We will no longer allow you to change any part of the Constitution, no legislation form here on out will infringe on our rights by any means. We will however, make you remove legislation that infringes upon our Constitutional Rights and if you do not, you will never work in any political position again, local, state or federal.

Maybe we need to make a new law, that if any politician proposes any legislation that infringes upon our rights by any means, will be held for Treason, and jailed for life.

MAKE THE PEOPLE IN THE NEXT 100 YRS HEAR OUR VOICES, SEE OUR FIGHTS, FEEL OUR PAINS, KNOW WHAT FREEDOM REALLY MEANS, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD, THAT NO ONE WILL TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY, THAT WE THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY AND TAKE IT BACK. WE WILL MAKE THESE DELUSIONAL IDEOLOGISTS HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME, FOR THEY WILL WANDER THE EARTH AS SOULLESS CREATURES. IT’S TIME TO TAKE A STAND, THE QUESTION IS, ARE YOU READY? UNITED WE STAND…..OR ARE YOU GOING TO LET THIS COME TRUE, DIVIDED WE FALL…..

I saw your report about Benghazi and the interview with the source about lack of communication between the Department of State and DoD and I think you and your source are wrong.  No, I’m not saying that things didn’t go as he said they did.  In fact, I admire the individual for stepping up but..can you really just ascribe this debacle to bad communications.  This is America, we put a machine on Mars..we can communicate. 

I’d ask you to sit and think about it…for a moment.  Based on mannerisms, word choice of the source.  “Waiting for someone to get off their butt”.  Words of an operator or someone that spends time with operators.  So yes, he saw the result of what failed to happen but the question of why is still elusive..because it wasn’t bad communications.

Before I go any further lets throw out a couple of definitions..just to establish common ground.  These are all according to dictionary.com

Character:  “the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing” or “moral or ethical quality:  a man of fine, honorable character” or “qualitites of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity”.

Courgage: “the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain etc., without fear; bravery.

So lets just take a step back and look at the individuals involved and some of the events.  Ambassador Steven is in the Consulate.  Two CIA operators are at an Annex a short distance away.  The Deputy is off the campus.  The Chief Executive is in Washington as well as Secretary Panetta and Clinton.  U.S. National authorities knew of the attack within 50 minutes.  An embassy or consulate in distress is a national 911 call.  After all the Ambassador is the President’s personal representative.  Calls from the CIA operators at the annex were received and they were given guidance to stay put.  Special Operations teams initiated movement, in particular a force in Europe.  Air support was within two hours of the target, in particular AC130 which is a very discrete weapon.  And the President and members of his security team had a meeting during the attack, early in the attack.  Discussion of possible responses were debated and all were denied.  This is according to Secretary Panetta’s statement after the event. In fact Secretary Panetta also stated that you do not put military forces in harms was if the situation is uncertain.  Mr. Secretary..putting military forces in harms way is a tried and true method to determine what is going on.  Its one of the things they do..in particular Special Operators.  So..can we really say there was a lack of communications.  I don’t think so.

I defined the two terms above, Character and Courage for a reason.  I think at a conceptual level, those two words indicate the cause for the debacle in Benghazi.  The leadership showed a lack of character.  They did not have the courage to respond to American’s in grave danger.  The concern was more about the potential political fallout in North Africa of American Military actions to save Americans.  The American’s were sacrificed on the altar of political convenience. 

One other possibility exists that does not involve political convenience and that simply involves the word courage.  It may well be that no one in a position to make a decision had the courage to make one. 

I’ll end with this..in particular if any Military Officer had a hand in this.  The Army puts out these sayings, publications to try and get soldiers to buy into the organizational culture of the military.  I would urge the Chief Executive, the former SecState, Ms. Clinton, former SecDef Mr. Panetta and any military officer that was involved to read these words..and take them to heart.

U.S. Army Values:  Warrior Ethos

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE A FALLEN COMRADE.

For me its simple.  The people responsible to make decisions about National Security failed.  For whatever reason, political, lack of courage or indecisiveness, they failed.  Congratulations, there are now four families destroyed, you have four ghosts to wrestle with during introspective moments and the message to the people who do the nation’s work is clear.  Uncle Sam does not have your back.

Cheers.

TODAY IN HISTORY: On this day in 2003, George W. Bush gave his “Mission Accomplished” speech. Unfortunately, the mission was lying America into the war in Iraq…

END TIMES HEADLINES. The U.S. government had the ability to “react and respond” to the Benghazi terrorist attack and could have had forces on the ground before the second wave of the assault began, a special operator with knowledge of the response told Fox News in an exclusive interview. Due to the explosive nature of his allegations, the special ops member asked to remain anonymous.

“I know for a fact that C 110 the UComm CIF was doing a training exercise, not in the region of northern Africa, but in Europe. And they had the ability to react and respond,” he told Fox News.

The C 110 is a 40-man Special Ops force capable of rapid response and deployment, a group trained specifically for an event like the Benghazi attack, Fox News reports. The unit was training in Croatia on Sept. 11, 2012, just 3.5 hours away from Benghazi.

“They would have been there before the second attack,” the anonymous special operator said. “They would have been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate their exfil out of the problem situation.”

He continued: “Nobody knew how it was going to develop, and you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisors say, ‘Hey, we wouldn’t have sent them there because the security was unknown situation.’ If it’s an unknown situation, at a minimum you send forces there to facilitate the exfil or medical injuries. We could have sent a C 130 to Benghazi to provide medical evacuation for the injured.” More

Today’s “Driven Darling of the Day”

Heisman Trophy Winner Tim Tebow sparked all kinds of publicity because he is a Christian. Some commentators tried to downplay his raw talent as beginner’s luck. I heard some of the commentary and it was awful. When I heard he was up for grabs in the NFL draft, I was excited and hoped he would at least get picked by an amazing team, even as 2nd string QB. To my shock, he went with the Jets.

They gave him a go early on, but soon it was clear they had no interest in letting him play. They let their looser quarterback play, even their third string, but not Tim Tebow, who brought the Broncos out of obscurity two seasons ago. I honestly believe this is a case of bigotry against Christians. Had Tebow been a Buddhist or a Muslim or even an Atheist, he would be out on the field everyday doing something.  Don’t believe me? Several liberal bloggers in New York criticized the Jets for picking him up for that reason. Goggle it and even search on FoxNews.  You’ll find several articles written in that manner.

There has been talk that Tim Tebow might leave the NFL altogether and go to Canada or the Arena Football League as many talented and mistreated players have gone. Hopefully, one of my teams, the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, or the New Orleans Saints will pick him up. I know that is a pipe dream, but here’s hoping!

Tim Tebow, if you ever read this, no you have fans that support you and have your back! Please keep trying! Something good will come along!

Everyone knows, or should know, that Roger Ailes is the brain behind Fox News.  Rupert Murdoch provided the financing, Ailes provides the genius.  Additionally, anyone who has ever subscribed to cable television knows that Fox News’ motto is “Fair and Balanced.”  I’ve talked to countless Fox haters who insist the motto should be changed because they think, quite frankly, that Fox is lying.  Now, I’m not writing to debate the merits of that contention, at least not at this time.  (Briefly, I don’t believe Fox is fair and balanced in commentary but I do believe they are in reporting).

As the book contends, the mainstream media have always wanted you to believe that they are the ones who are fair and balanced.  By Ailes grabbing that motto and applying it to his news channel, it mocked the long-established news media.

All you have to do is a simple internet search to find that nearly all of the famed journalists from the past and present are flaming liberals, including America’s “most trusted” man, Walter Cronkite.  Here’s the thing:  if there is no other conservative media to counteract the liberalism in the news, then you are not getting a balanced report and essentially the powerful liberal media outlets are attempting to shape your worldview.  Ailes explains it perfectly in this way:  “We’re not programming to conservatives, we’re just not eliminating their point of view.”

With that background knowledge of how important this news event was I can explain how CNN ended the week coverage last in ratings after the capture of the last suspect.

Breaking news is like a cycle. At the beginning there is talk about what happened through local news and if it is serious then the larger networks use affiliate channels to broadcast to other cities and states. Once it is declared that something is really serious, like a bombing at a marathon, the larger networks gather their best and head anchor and reporters and send them to the location to cover the story. This usually takes place within 6-12 hours. Once these big named and best reporters get to the location, they fight amongst each other to see who can break the story first – who can find out what really happened, the background, and any updates before it is really released to the press. As the fight is established, they begin to rely on sources to give them “exclusive scoops” on what is going on so that they can rub it in everyone’s face.

So what CNN did was exactly what I just wrote. One of their reporters, *cough* John King, said that an arrest had been made and informed viewers that a source told him. For a little more than an hour CNN kept saying “we have the exclusive” and “CNN has exclusively learned” blah, blah, blah. The whole hour the network rubbed in the fact that viewers heard it first on CNN. Then other news organizations began reporting the wrong information. The Associated Press reported a suspect was in custody based on a single source who continued to stand by the information even after the FBI said no arrest had been made. The Boston Globe reported a person was in custody and en route to the courthouse. Fox News and Boston’s WBZ-TV also reported an arrested had been made, while NBC and CBS did not.

After an hour of CNN gloating about its exclusive, a source texted him and on live national TV he read “significant progress has been made, but no arrest. Anyone who says an arrest is ahead of themselves.”

How embarrassing is that? So quick to jump the gun, there was no time to even read the message to himself. This is what I am talking about, the rush to break a story and be the first. There should be a rush to break an accurate story. That big mistake and opportunity to poke fun of CNN bought them down in ratings for the coverage.

During the 8pm hour when the actually capture of the suspect was going on, NBC had 10.7 million viewers, ABC had 7.8 million viewers, Fox News Channel had 7.6 million, CBS had 6.9 million, CNN had 6.8 million and poor MSNBC had 1.7 million viewers. Now I think we should all keep in mind that CNN and FOX News are cable channels and not broadcast channels so individuals without cable cannot watch CNN or FOX News, but I am not sure if the survey counts for any online viewers.

I am coming down on CNN so hard, because one of the first things you learn either in school or as a reporter is to always verify the information given. Not only that, that same reporter John King, gave a very vague description of an apparent suspect who did not exist. He mentioned on live TV that the potential suspect was a “dark-skinned male.”

Now to be fair, he defended himself for both issues. He said:

“’I went back to the Boston law enforcement sources who said we got him, I said, Got him? Identification on arrest?” King continued. “The source says can’t talk to you right now, says there is significant blowback at the leaks. Says there will be more information later today.’”

For what seemed as a racist and ignorant comment, King wrote:

“’Source of that description was a senior government official. And I asked, are you sure? But I’m responsible. What I am not is racist?’”

It could have been that the suspect was ID’d and not arrested and for the dark skinned comment, well that’s just journalism 101 not to ID someone based on their race or color of their skin, because the likely hood of you offending someone is obvious and it doesn’t matter what the color skin is. It is extremely pointless, saying a dark skinned male is on the loose without giving a height, weight or description of what he was last wearing. That simple description he gave right away showed ignorance, even if a source said it. As a journalist, he should have known even before he said it that it is not a good idea to give that vague description.

**I am not bashing CNN in anyway, just spreading my strong opinion and disappointment in the way they handled the reporting of that coverage and the unfortunate fate that one reporter’s mistakes reflected the whole of CNN’s broadcast. Even after the two incidents I still watched CNN among two other networks for the coverage.**

So, let me get on the other side of this topic, the teaching of gay/lesbian in our schools. Here is a recent article, middle school girls had to kiss each other in front of their class as part of a workshop on LGBT.

Their teacher made them perform a sexual act, in front of other students. The schools Administration stated they have more planned for the workshop on teaching about gays/lesbians.

Now, if this teacher and administration forced these young girls to kiss each other, isn’t that illegal? They made them perform a sexual act, and therefor should be arrest and charged, and put on the Megan’s Law sex offender websites.

When will we put an end to this kind of behavior, from our so called highly educated teachers? The Left has pushed the boundaries way too far this time. This Liberal Ideology needs to stop here and now. How can people just sit idly by and let this happen? How can these adults perceive this kind of teaching to be acceptable?

Are we that far gone that we just shrug our shoulders and continue the baseless arguments the left forces us into? Is society that dumbed down that they cannot see what is happening? Has our liberal indoctrination finally getting to see the fruits of their labor? Are we that robotic to just defend that notion and never do anything about it?

They have our whole country, they are in our schools, work, internet, media and now destroying the youth of our country with their ideology of acceptance, tolerance and equality, when they are the party of intolerance, for if you do not believe in their ideology, you are wrong, you are evil, you are now on a watch list as anti American and pose a threat to national security.

The Conservatives are being punished for their beliefs, we are being punished for our religious beliefs, we are being punished only because we are Conservatives. It is time to stop, put your damn foot down and say enough is enough. Contact your legislators, demand they put a stop to these kind of teachings, demand they punish these teachers and administrators on sexual acts upon a minor, demand they register as a sex offender.

We need to start holding our elected officials accountable for allowing these things to happen. A young girl gets suspended for wearing “support our troops” shirt to school, a young boy gets suspended for wearing “protect your rights” tshirt to school, a young girl gets ridiculed by her teacher and other class mates for wearing a “Romney” tshirt, young grade school kids are being suspended for pop tart guns, a gun drawn on paper, using your fingers like a gun, and even a bubble gum dispenser.

They promote higher education, and if this is what higher education produces, I for one would rather flip burgers for the rest of my life. Liberal Indoctrination needs to stop, and only we can do that.

No more social issues and politics in the classroom, and if so, they are fired and put on a National do not hire list. We need to take our country back, and we don’t have generations to do it. It took them generations to get where we are, and we need to take it back now.

Stop the madness, stop the idiocy, Stop our so called highly educated teachers from destroying the minds of our youth.

Why would these adults subject these young girls to something like that? Do they not know the psychological damage that could occur? Do they not understand you can’t force someone to have the exact same beliefs as they do, and if you try it only creates more intolerance? Would they force their own child to perform a lesbian/gay sexual act with another child?

I am dumbfounded by this, the shock as I read it and watched the news clip. How can anyone say this is acceptable? How can anyone with an actual mind, morals and values say this is ok to teach our children? How can our lawmakers, police not step in and say that is illegal?

What will happen next? Will they make the boys perform oral sex on one another? Will they make the girls perform in other sexual acts? Will they start showing sexual graphic material, which can be labeled as porn?

I stated in earlier blogs about this happening, and I was right.

I for one am contacting my representatives, law makers, elected officials, this has to stop, they need stopped. This is way beyond unacceptable.

In Caveman Days, if a guy had homicidal tendencies, he would have to use a stick with a rock tied to it, or just a rock, or just a stick, or his bare hands.

In Medieval Times if a guy had homicidal tendencies, he would have to use a sword, or a knife, or a stick with a rock tied to it, or just a rock, or just a stick, or his bare hands.

In the days of the Wild West, if a guy had homicidal tendencies, he would have to use a six shooter, or a rifle, or a sword, or a knife, or a stick with a rock tied to it, or just a rock, or just a stick, or his bare hands.

In Modern Times, if a guy has homicidal tendencies, he would be able to choose a handgun, or a machine gun, or a hand-grenade, and he probably would not opt for a sword, or a knife, or a stick with a rock tied to it, or just a rock, or just a stick, or his bare hands.

So, in Caveman Days, a guy who had homicidal tendencies, would be forced to sneak up on a single person and kill them suddenly, by surprising them, because he knew that if he faced the other person in a fair fight, face-to-face, he might end up being the one getting killed.

That’s the way it is on this planet; people are naturally weak; people don’t have strong biting jaws, or long sharp claws, they have their little fists, and maybe a rock or a stick, or maybe a stick with a rock tied to it.

Because of these limitations in Caveman Days, people shied away from one-on-one violence. It wasn’t practical, because they were too vulnerable to retaliation. The fight was fair because each person was a mere human, and humans are susceptible to the vagaries of circumstances that play a crucial role in who will survive a violent encounter.

The same could be said for the sword and the knife, where skill and bravery played a key role in deciding who would be the victor; but that all went by the wayside after some asshole invented the gun.

With guns, the meekest of the meek, the craziest of the crazies, the evilest of the evil, can kill as many people as they like from a nice, safe, comfortable distance.

Humans, who are a physically weak species, have found a way to allow the murderous among us to posses great power, without first learning the discipline that should accompany great power (to paraphrase Michael Crichton in Jurassic Park); a person who learns martial arts, and masters the “Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique”, must spend years training, and such training allows time for wisdom, empathy, and compassion to take hold in their minds, and guide their philosophies, so by the time they can explode your heart, they’re not interested in doing so; their years of discipline has tempered what might have been natural-born homicidal tendencies.

Conclusion: The great power over life that guns provide to undisciplined individuals puts 32,000+ lives at risk of being shot and killed every year in the United States of America.

republicans advocate the easy availability of guns to those in our society who are most likely to use a gun as an easy way to express their twisted undisciplined feelings.

Conclusion: republicans do not appreciate discipline and the wisdom that comes with it; they’re only interested in putting the power of senseless, random death (in the form of high-powered weapons), in the hands of sociopaths; sociopaths, who left to their own devises, would be unable to fabricate their own precision killing machine, and would therefore be left to attempt murder with a rock, or a stick, or a stick with a rock tied to it…

We have a President who thinks he gets to decide what is and isn’t constitutional and freely decides what who his oath of office applies . . . . “all enemies foreign and domestic” . . . . could easily make anyone he doesn’t like a target. Yes, that’s hyperbole, but nonetheless true. Look at the way he keeps trying to shutdown FoxNews because they reveal and report things he doesn’t like, such as Benghazi and how he said one thing in the past and does another now. This is the man who started the sequestration ball rolling and now tries to pin on anyone else. 

Even in the old west, it was “wanted: dead or alive” and since then there has been a strong movement towards “alive”. A lot of American military have died supporting the principle of justice, not revenge. And targeted killings of Americans is not justice, it is revenge; the power of a god to strike down who he wishes

And all this sidesteps the issue of privacy, which dwindles to less and less every year. Would you trust someone like that with near-dictatorial powers of life and death? Or of watching your every move, at any time, for any reason?

It’s not just Obama – would you trust the government, any government, to keep a promise?

Jokes at the expense of propagandist fraud-news agencies (Fox News) is the best prescriptions for clarity. It’s refreshing having an entertainment show open acknowledge that it is here to make us laugh and entertain us.

It’s nice. That’s all I’m saying.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/22/white-house-says-boston-bombing-suspect-will-not-be-treated-as-enemy-combatant/#ixzz2RF7032sy

I have been quiet for a while, and will share my thoughts of the Boston bombings with “Thoughts of the day” later.

I am frustrated with the Obama administration not charging Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as an enemy combatant -yet I am not all that surprised. Sadly, politics of course is rearing its ugly head here.

I have only applauded Obama on how his presidency has dealt with the war on terror. Interestingly enough, he’d never acknowledge his actions as being prudent in the actual war on terror.

So, the administration does not feel the necessity to charge the bomber as an enemy combatant. Legal scholar Cully Stimson strongly recommends against doing so. Yes, of course the GOP want to argue such charges would be beneficial for intelligence – which is very true. The bottom line, this President does not even want to try and figure out even if they can make such a charge. Why? The President has always been about public face. In no shape or form, does he ever want to “show” the U.S. wants to stand up for itself. After killing Osama bin Laden, our government had to refrain themselves for even wanting to apologize for taking such a gamble.

Here is a lost opportunity to show other terrorist the U.S. will never stop the fight.

One student noted that it was irresponsible for the media to release suspect ethnicities and possibly incite hatred until the facts were correct.  This marries with our recent discussion of Hearst and Pulitzer and yellow journalism and muckraking.

As I drove to work the DJs were screaming.  I was tuned to a station coming out of South Carolina and a woman was accusing the DJ of hate mongering as the DJ was repeating news he heard on CNN about the ethic background of a suspect.  The DJ yelled that he was simply repeating what CNN said.

It is notable that The FBI made no mention of the men’s height, weight or age range and would not discuss the men’s ethnicity. “It would be inappropriate to comment on the ethnicity of the men because it could lead people down the wrong path potentially,” said FBI agent Greg Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston FBI office.

Yet, a source confirmed to FoxNews.com on Tuesday April 16th that “the person of interest is a 20-year-old Saudi. His Facebook page identifies him as a current or former student at the New England School of English. He is believed to have entered the country on a student visa. The source stressed that Alharbi is a person of interest, not a suspect, and said he suffered serious injuries in the explosion.”

Damage done.  Posts on the website FrontPageMag include comments inciting hatred against Saudi Arabians.

The problem is that in the digital age, you can’t take back an accusation.  One false bit of information on a media outlet is repeated on blogs and facebook and twitter until it becomes the Truth.  When an apology is made or a retraction, it does not filter down to those levels. The original supposition remains true in many eyes.

I’ve always put muckrakers on a pedestal.  I believe in the media as the 4th estate and as blogs as the 5^th estate.  We hold the powerful accountable.  We help break news, but we should not be making the news. One famous quote is that reporters are the only people other than emergency responders who run towards the crises. But, in the urgency to report, to scoop, to inform are we doing a disservice to say “It is believed that….”

So, what does the media do?  Do we wait until all sources are verified?  Roosevelt tempered his praise for muckrakers with this. “Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck rake, speedily becomes, not a help but one of the most potent forces for evil.”

Mencken was famous for wanting to “stir up the animals” and he said that “a newspaper should tell the truth, however unpleasant.”  Agreed, but when does the truth become the truth and not speculation? Can we harm an individual or group by releasing speculation and can we harm an individual or group but withholding speculation?

*Fluid Update*

I’m just checking back in to my blog after being on Twitter and simultaneously watching breaking news on Fox News. I wanted to come back here to caution you that not everything you see and hear, even though broadcasted live, is to be believed. The story is still developing and often times it takes some time to draw distinct lines and parallels. I remain unconvinced that the Boston Marathon Bombing was international Islamic terror. The suspects have been living in the US for near ten years, they are both young, too young to have taken up a political and religious stance for a country they hardly know (Chechnya). By all intensive purposes they grew up here. Perhaps the one that came more recently has some anger who knows, but even still, coming from Chechnya they would be more inclined to side with America than Russia. If these two kids were mentored by another more mature person who has a grudge or a political motive it would make more sense. I do not back track any of my thoughts from a few posts ago that this action was clearly Domestic Terrorism and for Political gains. Keep in mind CISPA passed yesterday, Boston police/FBI is exercising military controls over those in Watertown limiting cell phone use, and keeping them locked indoors. There was a no fly zone over this area, transit halted as well. I will keep aware of this story and gather information and convey that to you as I am able.

I just watched the Uncle Ruslan Tsarni yelling at his nephew and saying they are not from Chechnya. This is down right comical if it was down right frustrating. The uncle is clean shaving now and much more fluent in speaking than when he was first approached earlier this morning. My head is shaking. Another FYI, the Government is data mining all tweets and social media right now. So, I’m limiting my tweets and comments on twitter for that reason. They are looking for those who are not going with the flow of the mass distributed script.

Here is the earlier video of Ruslan, I will post the one of him with clean shaven appearance later. ***Update*** ok, now I’m finding out these are two different Uncles, one is Ruslan Tsarni below, the one with the beard is Alvi Tsarni. That explains the jump in appearance and language–I guess. Circus show.

Ok, here is a photo of the same Uncle after a clean shave and maybe some makeup. He sounds more alert or his English has had a significant increase in fluidity, maybe he just had some strong coffee who knows.

Here’s the link to his statement to his surviving nephew to “Turn yourself in!” via fox news

The Boston Bombers father was also contacted and gave this statement:

“The father of the suspects, reached in Makhachkala, Russia, by The Associated Press, has also called on his son to surrender peacefully, but reportedly warned the United States that “all hell will break loose” if he’ll killed.

“My son is a true angel,” Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press. “Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here.”

Anzor Tsarnaev, who characterized his younger son as an intelligent and accomplished young man, told ABC News that he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. He said his sons reassured him, saying, “Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good.”

“Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you,” Anzor Tsarneav said, according to ABC News. “Come home to Russia.”

He continued: “If they killed him, then all hell would break loose.” Source Fox News article
I’m sure CIA director and Obama are discussing the International implications of this and trying to figure out how to handle this. Since I don’t trust Potus I can’t imagine how he would or could use this to his advantage. I just know that My God is bigger than his. If Obama is staging a war, God help us.

“The Blaze” is reporting this is 19 year old, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s , Twitter acct.

It was confirmed by a friend of his from his high school. If this is his twitter account he sounds like the average lugg nut teenage boy on the street. Not a mastermind bomber, not a “Truther,” just a dumb kid. One tweet that 9-11 was an “inside job” does not qualify him as a “Truther.” He has more tweets and RT’s by Will Ferral the comedian does this make Dzhokar an SNL comedian too? No, people have checked their brains at the door. Another reason why not to follow Glenn Beck/The Blaze!

This era in American politics will be a lesson for future generations in how television executives (see Rupert Murdoch) can thwart the will of the American people by brainwashing and hypnotizing them using tried and true methods.

The people who call themselves republicans, who have usurped the republican party (see the tea-party fanatics), are a stark example of witless followers who together can become a dangerous force to be reckoned with.

They do not represent a force based on reason and logic, but a force based on false information and craven manipulation by politicians and media celebrities who are bought and paid for by nefarious and malicious misanthropes (see rush, glenn, the NRA, and all of the current “republicans” holding office throughout the United States of America).

Obama got it right when he chastised them all for their shameful behavior today.

Obviously, republicans who do not denounce their corrupted party, must be teaching their children to believe the lies; they are clearly not teaching them the difference between right and wrong, or commonsense, or compassion, or empathy; they are teaching by example how to follow blindly those who they choose to be their leaders; they’re teaching their children to trust foxnews and any other right-wing media source as gospel, and by doing so they undermine all that their supposed religious beliefs stand for; they are teaching their children to accept and embrace and vote for evil; they are teaching their innocent children to acquiesce to any and all demonstrable lies and disinformation; they are teaching their children how to ignore facts.

Why do they do this to their children? I have no idea, but it must be because their parents, friends, or other authority figures taught them to be that way; it’s an endless cycle that spins down from one generation to the next, with grandpa whispering in the ear of his grand-child that hate is the way to go.

A mindless dittohead republican is susceptible to anything (see nazism, yes it’s the same mindless mentality and total capitulation to the powers that be). They’re worse (or just as bad) as Scientologists in their zeal to defend nonsense in the name of self-righteousness.

republican extremists would turn in their own family members if rush or glenn told them to; I suppose it’s just the human condition to follow such individuals mindlessly, and it helps if people aren’t educated (see republicans cutting funding for schools across the land and other means to confuse people in large numbers).

But, like I’ve said many times, it’s good that they go too far, because that is what will defeat them in the long run, and once they are defeated, they will crawl back under their rocks for many generations, just like Sauron did, only instead of a magic ring, they have foxnews that corrupts…absolutely. ]]> http://wethepeopletakeamericaback.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-aftermath/ Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:49:34 +0000 We the People Take America Back http://wethepeopletakeamericaback.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-aftermath/ What is it that creates the theories that perpetuate after a tragedy? We can all agree one thing for sure, our media outlets reporting the tragedy.

After Sandy Hook, there were numerous sites, video’s and blogs about all the theories out there, the discrepancies in news reports, the people and happenings. But why would they purposely lead on the people? Is it to create theories, feed more into the anti government, push for more of a political divide in society, or are they just that incompetent as journalists who are incapable of reporting and only want ratings and to disenfranchise their opponents?

So, everything usually leads back to government and politics. Out of tragedies, we get new laws, rules and regulations,out of those, we become more divided politically. When will the madness stop? As our technology increases, the more our government grows, the worse our information will become.

Recently, it is our 2nd Amendment Rights that are under fire, our private medical history will now be invaded if these laws pass, as they have in some states. We have heard the chatter for quite a few years now of censoring the internet, which violates our 1st Amendment Rights.

This week, after the Boston Marathon Bombing, I heard all major news networks talking about social media, and how such things create fear, create theories, falsehoods and mislead the populace. I did see very careful reporting this time compared to Sandy Hook. Many were saying, unconfirmed but they were just alerted of new information.

One minute it was a Saudi national in custody, (which I read an article a guy in the south was arrested on Monday for purchasing bomb making materials after a company denied his one purchase and turned it in to authorities), to the person with burns was under guard and a potential suspect. Today, I read someone was arrested, and minutes later, they all recanted and said no one was arrested.

So which is it, either someone was arrested or they weren’t. Or, is this their way of creating more theories and the word cover up starts creeping out of the shadows.

With all of our current surveillance camera’s out there from traffic cams to store cams, will this now promote a “safety issue” for the public to accept Drones in our skies? So they can have a better view of the people for any future happenings? Why did Obama during his speech today, pushing the gun legislation when it had nothing to do with the bombings or the ricin laced mail?

One has to wonder why these kinds of things are done. A facade of fear on the populace as a whole, or incompetence of our government as a whole? Are we all puppets and living in a matrix that our minds can’t see past our political divide to notice reality?

Only time can tell what will change, what we will still perceive to be absolute truth. Our society has been victimized by propaganda that is put in front of us by those who hold the title of puppet master. They feed into our hunger for information, knowledge and most of all, the search for absolute truth. They prey on the infinitive political sphere they placed upon society that never stops spinning.
