What bugs me about all these whistleblowers is how did they have all this access, but don't seem to have stumbled upon the massive coordination and coverup of the events of 9/11?

....is spreading a right wing meme that Oklahoma is "okay".

I don't know about you, but it seems to me that Oklahoma has some room for improvement. One of those rooms would be the governor's office.

So let's not use "OK", because it encourages an unwarranted self-congratulatory complacency.

Whomever edited this video of Operation American Spring cut off the woman in the Chelsea Manning t-shirt who then proceeded to list "other places to get information", since she then went on to refer to OccupyDC2014.org



It is stranger still to see her referenced as a "teabagger" in another DU thread.

I dunno if you call this "teabaggery" per se, but I don't know what you call it....

The Anonomobile thing looks pretty cool....

Christine Ann Sands one of the chief organizers and one of the few public faces of Anonymous spoke to the Voice of Russia, in an exclusive interview, about the Million Mask March, Hacktivism, WikiLeaks and the truth movement. According to Ms. Sands the American people have been hijacked by evil forces that were behind the 9-11 attacks and that continue to control the US government, the media and political parties.

...

So I bought myself a 32 foot RV, had it painted it black, with blue stripe all around it, like the state police and I put the Wikileaks logo, the Anonymous logos, Occupy and I am driving around and I got Million Mask March November, 5 on the side, and every night since I have arrived in DC, I have been detained and stopped and investigated by regular police, and secret police.


Wow, she really gets around!

Does it seem like they get really good dry cleaning service out in wherever they are, or do they keep a supply of fresh field outfits and gear showing no signs of wear for making videos?

Aside from their clothing and kit, there was a video of them on the news last night in front of a transport vehicle with no tread wear and no dirt on the tires.

These guys really seem to take an unusual interest in cleanliness, or they recently bought a lot of new stuff.

And you might say, "No... but Darren was faithful to Samantha!"

Let's take a look at Darren and Samantha for a minute. She pledged she wouldn't use witchcraft (at least not during the daytime), and every episode turns on her breaking that promise to her spouse. So what do you suppose he's up to all day?

And, the first one... Sargent York or whatever his name was... He was a little less cleaned up than the other guy. And, hey, how in Hell did America deal with a show about a married couple in which she gets a new husband one season anyway, and pretends its the same one?

I was thinking about the recent controversy over the gun lobby attacking yet another device in the line of "owner only" fire mechanisms. Years ago there was, and maybe still is, a magnetic key based mechanism in the grip that is activated by a ring worn by the owner. The concept is nothing new.

But how about a technology that doesn't just detect presence of the owner, but one that takes a look at the target.

It could bounce an IR beam off of the target just as the trigger is pressed, but stops the hammer or locks the firing pin if, on doing some sort of reflection analysis it detects it is being fired at someone of the wrong skin color.

The device would have a skin tone threshold setting where you dial in a point from "Lily White", "freckled", "¡Hola!", "a little darker than that" and "really black". Then you set it to only shoot at people on one or the other side of that line.

The pitch is this - "Most people buy a gun to protect their family. But some tragically shoot members of their family by accident (1). If your family has more or less the same skin tone, then you can be sure when you grab it off the nightstand and blast away in the dark at wherever that noise came from, that Family Guardian technology will only fire at someone who definitely shouldn't be in your house at night."

Now, like I said, there's nothing racist about it, because the user can set it to shoot anyone of any race. We're working on one that can do religion too (well, you know, at least some of the time). With advanced compact image recognition, we might be able to set all kinds of conditions like "Wearing a hoodie" or "Has a mullet".

I can see how this would appeal to a good chunk of their market, so would I run into any problems with the NRA?

And yeah, I'll get all kinds of free advertising from all the people who think it's horrible, but I figure they'll sell like hotcakes.

FN(1) Less tragically so when on purpose.

...it'll be the first time Mitt shows up for a draft!
