Hypnosis

We went shopping last evening and I noted pricing.
Coffee has risen 100%
Using this method, prices have risen 3.5% in the past 12 months.
Bacon has risen 50%
The stock market’s rebound has been more robust than the economic recovery since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.
Cereal has risen about 30%
Retailers, in particular, have been unable to transfer price hikes to consumers.

The watch is swinging, the chant is continuing, but I am resisting the urge to say the Pres 0 economy is decent. The propaganda will not work!

 

Stephen Decatur – hero

Stephen Decatur is a name you may not hear, in fact, I didn’t become aware of his name or status until looking at information related to writing this blog. Stephen was born in 1779 and gained notariety in the Barbary wars. These raged from 1801 to about 1805 and then again in 1815.
Reference items found here and here and here.
The background of this battle started shortly after the American Revolution when the treaty with France was officially broken and piracy began against the shipping industry of the United States.
This piracy was to serve their interests because: “It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once. [12] [↑ "American Peace Commissioners to John Jay," March 28, 1786, "Thomas Jefferson Papers," Series 1. General Correspondence. 1651-1827, Library of Congress. LoC: March 28, 1786 (handwritten).

There was incentive to attack others for being simply not of the muslim faction. The muslims announced quite clearly that they were due wealth from anyone else from whom they could take it. (from above: “it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave”.)
Our hero gained the notoriety of being the first hero of the United States post the Revolution. This was due to his taking a muslim ship and attacking and destroying an American ship that had run aground and was being used by the muslims as a gun battery. This act is noted in the Marine Hymn:
From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
From here.
I want to note right now that we have been fighting muslims for over 200 years. They have claimed the right to piracy and slavery according to the koran and now we have crossed the line to provide official military sanction to the very philosophy that has sought our destruction for over two centuries.
“4. Handling. a. Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling. b. Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence. Care should be used so that the right hand is the primary one used to manipulate any part of the Koran due to the cultural association with the left hand. Handle the Koran as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art. c. Ensure that the Koran is not placed in offensive areas such as the floor, near the toilet or sink, near the feet, or dirty/wet areas.”
From here.
Contrast this with the position of military treatment of the Bible which contains the philosophy guiding the foundation of this country.
Troops at posts in war zones are required to burn their trash, Wright said
Instead of sending the Bibles back to the church the military officials chose to burn the Bibles, stating that if they sent the Bibles back to the church they feared the church would turn around and send them to another organization within Afghanistan.
Apparently, the chaplain burned the Bibles with the camp’s daily garbage.
There are more links, but I believe the point is made. The philosophy advocating piracy and enslavement which we have fought for over two hundred years is treated with gloved hands, and the philosophy founding the greatest country in the world is burned with the trash.
Incensed? That doesn’t come close. It took me over a week to calm down enough to write this coherently.
Just look at the country’s history to see what a difference has been forced on us in the past five decades or so. The present political climate is the opposite of the founding concepts.
Now, I’m feeling towards rant mode, so I’ll stop.

 

Close to a rant

I read this story at the beginning of the week, and have desired to write congress and blog about the same, but I’m having a hard time putting together ideas about it without falling into rant mode.
Consider that our military is to confer full religious honors on a sworn enemy who kills 3000 Americans, and our founding concepts are called
“trash.” (“War zone troops are required to burn all trash, according to the Defense Department.” – from the article, a quote I have seen in many recounts of this story.)
I’m going to stop here, as a full blown rant is brewing and I want to write more reasonably than that.

 

Suddenly a Birth Certificate?

We have been treated to a most unreal presentation of a birth certificate and subsequent conversation on Opra and fund raisers. The certificate has been fisked quite thoroughly and shown to be a fake, and that was the first day. However, I would like to note something. What does it say about someone that has the information readily available, (assuming it to be the right one) and spends millions to keep it from the public until forced politically into a corner? This is someone who believes that normal convention – read law – doesn’t apply to him. Law is what he decides it to be, and to whom he decides it to apply. Just off the top of my head, black panthers, shakedown of BP, waivers from obammacare.
Siblinginbox had an interesting observation from this last week. Note how many weeks wildfires have been burning in Texas and no word from the whitehouse. A storm hits Tennessee and pres 0 is there the next day. (I did see a couple of frames and had to note that he was talking with some official without a teleprompter. Quite impressive considering his last two years of history.)
The birth certificate is simply another example of someone applying thug politics nationally.

 

Learn Tactics

h/t Eternity Road

This is the best list I could find on how to identify and counter these shills of the state.
For a taste: “1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don’t discuss it — especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it’s not reported, it didn’t happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.
2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the “How dare you!” gambit.”

Many news moments come to mind.

 

Quality work by police

Spouseinbox receives a newspaper from a family town near here. On the front page was a picture of a car with the hood slightly bent back from an apparent rear-ender. Anyways, on the label to the picture the last two sentences were: Bugberg Police Chief Mr. Directum “did a great job of directing traffic. Only minor injuries were reported.”

 

Reactors

I know it’s not going to make the MSP (main stream propagandists) because this article is thoughtful and considers the design of reactors and need for society to have power. It illustrates one of the reasons I have given up the MSP and stick to blogs and other online resources. Added benefit is lack of toilet paper or viagra commercials in the middle of thinking about the latest (*).

 

I beat Rush

Yesterday, I noted on the radio show the mention that pres 0 might be creating a caliphate. I just had to note the blog on that subject on the 24th. It’s kind of cool beating the maha rushie. Though I don’t have an audience like his, I can still enjoy the moment.

 

Well said

h/t bayou renaissance man
I had asked not so eloquently when did you stop trusting the news? For me it was the Iraq war in 91. I heard the pentagon briefing on my way home from work at 1515 and then turn on the evening news. The second activity prompted yelling and other gesticulations. It was patently obvious they were spinning the war news to oppose us. Now on to the better stated article:
from here
“And now, we have Obama as president. What started out 40 years ago as independent journalism (yes, even then with a bias, but with a willingness to tell the story regardless of outcome) has now become dependent propagandism. Journalists are no longer even pretending to offer fealty to journalistic ethics, or unbiased story-telling. They no longer seek to hold the government accountable to the people. They no longer care about truth. Nowadays, they only care about access.”
Remember CNN not reporting on all the atrocities of Saddam because they wanted journalists there? They lied to us for the ability to be on the ground when the lead started flying. Well, I’ll stop before I get hypertension. Go read the rest.

 

The MSP crickets chirping…

The Pigford Scandal
A perfect example of votes for sale, or rather the blatant attempt to purchase votes using our tax money.
