Watch the President give his speech.

(Not on any of the corporate media broadcast stations.)

at the funeral home: photograph them. Get straight on face shots. Post copies to Occupy Security. RWNJs turn out phony “protestors” and the like of the three-bus crowd that accompanied Scott Brown, first time around in 2006. It’s a point of pride for their commitments to lying. Our favorite is the Italian girl, of a [...]

Please add one more fully documented conspiracy. 4) After the Christmas 1994 hijacking of Air France Flight 8969, the Security and Counterterrorism Committee at the FAA blocked implementation of tighter cockpit safety measures for U.S. airliners. Doors were not armored. Procedures were not changed to prevent handing over an airliner to a terrorist. The other [...]

Let’s keep to the standards required to apply inductive logic to these discussions. Thus:

“Boston Bombings Operation Gladio brought to the USA. Another atrocity be added to the long list of atrocities committed by the Intelligence Community.”

Leave grabbing off impulse-buy beliefs to the hate-radio guys. No need to share their weaknesses.

The only damage to the government’s case is that evidence obtained by means of the un-Mirandized interrogation cannot be interduced in court. Big whoop. Get over it, kiddo. Private citizens are perfectly justified to speak of “the attack by Dhokhar (sic) Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev” without using the legalistic term: “alleged.” The surveillance photos and [...]

Also, no one is likely to like hearing the term “sleeper cell” this morning. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was indeed cleared of terrorist suspicions. He was not put on watch lists. A single point-in-time assessment in 2011 was leveraged to set TT free from all surveillance. “Sleeper cell” did not exist in FBI’s mental inventory. Assuming that [...]

No one is going to like this. It is, however, a key to understanding the interplays of language and mental status: As long as Muslims use the term “Infidel” the way that Southerners through the 1960s and KKK today use “nigger,” there are going to be repetitions of mentally disordered Muslim males acting out their fantasies [...]

Blogs have had a huge level of bitching the last couple days about CNN and New York Post making up false news reports during the marathon massacre. Seems to me what they were doing was selling confusion as a way to generate artificial paranoia. Paranoia is their most important product. This principle also applies to a [...]

The ad is spot-on. Hamilton and Madison had a handle on the problem… for muzzle loaders. Thanks. NRA’s hoax about “1,000,000 to 2,500,000″ at-home gun defenses is the core of the disinformation campaign. The real number is more like 6,000 to 8,000 defenses where most of these “threats” come from drunk trespassers. If you don’t [...]

One reason that NRA goes all out on legislation is that their pitch selling “home defense” guns is based on a hoax. They lie that there are “1,000,000 to 2,500,000″ at-home armed defenses at year. That’s a Big Lie with no statistical support. FBI has 80 at-home defensive fatalities a year. A grand total of [...]

Internet insanity is being driven by the same Shill Machine that drove “Truther” fantasies. The Boston bombing is being described as a fake. Photos of a victim named Jeff Bauman are being mischaracterized as “Crisis Actor” fakes with a man named Nick Vogt. In fact, Bauman is at Boston Medical Center and has lost both [...]

The threat of violent crime in America ???

NRA implies that this is a cresting wave. But the fact is that from 2007 to 2011 the totals for violent crimes declined by 15.4%.

That’s despite the population increase.

I don’t dispute your numbers as they are certainly within reason. I do however believe the number of defensive gun uses is closer to 2 million per year, which I realize seems to be in the extreme vs your stats. However, it comes from studies that specifically attempt to include ALL instances, many which are far [...]

Don’t worry, be happy. No problemo. And that’s right for this issue. Obama offers to make a change to the inflation index for Social Security… CONTINGENT on the GOPers enacting serious, wallet-chomping changes to eliminate loop holes in the tax code. Grover Norquist is spinning like a demon in Hell. Afeared he is going lose [...]

Not only was no one killed at Fukushima, but the prime fact of the disaster is that the reactors remained stable. No radiative material escaped the main reactors. What failed at Fukushima were the cooling systems. Not the reactors or the main containment facilities. Several cooling towers were wrecked by the 3/11 tsunami. The pipes [...]

…tis ‘FBI summaries of our police reports’ which aren’t even consistent with reality… But I ain’t expecting the majority ’round here to accept that… (and) Both sides on their extreme are replete with mis/dis-information….”

So the FBI is lying ??? They fake it, adding up the bodies from State Police reports (referencing medical examiner databases) is “mis/dis-information” [...]

Here’s how a sensible pro-democracy “gun guy” sees the NRA. Note that he has a concealed carry permit and thinks there’s a significant likelihood that he is going to see combat. From Joe Nocera talking with Dan Baum:

JOE: After Newtown, Wayne LaPierre said, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is [...]

Here’s a typical rewrite to history:

“After all, gun control is a Republican idea” No, it started with FDR’s National Firearms Act of 1934.

No-no-no. NFA 1934 was NRA legislation. The model for NFA 1934 was the Washington D.C. gun laws drafted by NRA and approved on July 8, 1932, with these provisions: • prohibited carrying [...]

If the democrats in Colorado can maintain their seats in presence of an all out push by the NRA to throw them out then you may see some reduction in the NRA’s power. If the Colorado legislature returns to republican control and repeals the gun control legislation recently passed then the NRA will grow stronger. You [...]

The other fantasy is: “my glock against the government’s regiment, or tank, or rocket launcher, or armed jet, or drone (take your pick of sophisticated weaponry from the military industrial complex). …. Individuals or armed groups do not have a chance. They should join Occupy.

All this propaganda against “the government” is tricked out to attack [...]
