The American Ruling Class

[Mad Scientist]

Oh we still have our freedom of speech. We can still picket our illustrious leaders and tell them what we think of them.


We just have to make sure we do it in specially defined "free speech areas" that are well away from them so that we dare not disturb them.

Boston bombs said to be made from pressure cookers

"They can give me a cavity search right now and I'd be perfectly happy," said Daniel Wood, a video producer from New York City who was waiting for a train.

Anybody else taking notice of the MSM little psyop here? "I'll gladly give up my Constitutional freedoms for a little security".

Are any of you willing to let someone else have their way with you in a very degrading fashion, just to feel "safe"? (you will probably have alot more feelings than just "safety").

"The affirmative task we have now, is uhhh, is to actually, uhm, uh, to create, uhh, uhh, a New World Order." - Joe Biden, speaking at the Export Import Bank Conference in Washington DC on April 5, 2013

Speaking like a true zombie, and reading from a prepared speech, Joe Bite'em reveals the administration's primary goal.

What is the "right-of-way"?

I'm sure that everyone remembers the shooting of Travon Martin on February 26, 2012 in Sanford, Florida. Mainstream media, Martin's family, and even a spokesperson at the Sanford Police Department, went on and on about how Travon was a good kid. For example, Sanford Police Department (SPD) investigator, Chris Serino, said publicly of Martin, “This child has no criminal record whatsoever.” He said Martin was “a good kid, a mild-mannered kid.” What Serino said was only a half-truth, though, as he knew that Travon had been suspended from school twice during the first two months of the year in which he was killed, and that those suspensions were for serious offenses for which he really should have been arrested - once for getting caught with a burglary tool and a dozen items of female jewelry, the second time for getting caught with drugs and drug paraphernalia. So Travon was an established thief and drug user. He had been busted for these offenses by the Miami-Dade School District (MDSD) Police Department. Yes, the School District, the fourth-largest district in the country, is one of very few with its own police department, and that department had a policy of intentionally under-reporting the seriousness of student offenses, especially those of black students. An Internal Affairs investigation revealed the fact that officers and detectives had been told by their police chief to falsify reports in an effort to curtail the large and growing number of arrest records at the school, thus making it appear that the school's police department was doing a great job of reducing crime rates. In fact, just 11 days before Martin’s death, the Miami-Dade County Public Schools put out a press release boasting of a 60 percent decline in school-based arrests, the largest decline by far in the state of Florida.

As a result of the Internal Affairs investigation, the police chief was demoted and forced out of his position, but isn't that just a game of musical chairs to move someone to a different position? Why wasn't he prosecuted, fired, and imprisoned? Probably because it would have drawn unwanted negative attention to the Martin case.

Just a few days ago, it was reported on MSM that law enforcement training programs are now using a training target resembling a full size replication of Travon Martin wearing a dark "hoodie" jacket and clutching candy and a soda can in his hands. The Martin family, and media pundits, are making a big deal out of Travon being used for such training. The stated purpose of the training target is to train officers to recognize that while the target might at first glance appear to be threatening, that further observance should indicate to trainees that this is not the case. Of course, whether in a training session or in a real situation, an officer only has a second or two to determine what is seen, and may well end up shooting the target, or the suspect if a threat is perceived.

Perhaps Travon was actually holding a soda can and candy when Zimmerman encountered him while on neighborhood watch patrol, but perhaps the training target should have shown Martin holding a burglary tool (and potential weapon) in one hand, and stolen jewelry in the other. That would have been more in keeping with Travon's true character.

"Dirty" Harry Reid evidently thinks he has the 60 votes needed to pass unconstitutional gun control legislation, as it has been reported that he is moving forward to schedule a Senate vote at 4:00 pm today, something he surely would not do if he didn't think he had enough votes locked in. So right now may very well be your last chance to contact your Senators and demand that they vote NO to any and all proposed gun control legislation, compromises, or amendments.

Call the Senate now! (202) 224-3121

doesnt mean a flip to me. I already have a criminal record and do you think my record is going to prevent me from getting my hands on a gun if I want one? heck no!

What these laws have done is just forced me and other criminals to go further underground in terms of getting and keeping weapons. for example not keeping a gun on your person or on your property as so not to be charged with possession. but make no mistake I will get a gun and use it regardless of what any laws out there say.

what part of "infringed" do they not understand? they cannot legally take away my gun rights (which they claim they can since I am a criminal) but all they are doing is making me more of a criminal when I stand up to their BS..

Most people dont see it that way but the day will come when they will and by then it will be to late.

[Jeff Pearson]

well said...and more laws just make more people criminals. More laws cause even more problems and usually solve none.

People don't obey their respective governments because they love them. They obey their governments because men with big bad guns will either lock you up or shoot you dead for disobeying them.


thats whats it's come down to

Here's a link to a video in which Gwen Olson, a pharmaceutical industry insider, explains that SSRI antidepressants are no more effective at reducing depression than placebo sugar pills. How astounding, then, that over 44 million people are hooked on these prescribed SSRI drugs, with a great many being school age children, and taking them for years at a time. And while these drugs do nothing to alleviate depression, they are almost certain to amplify any existing depression to dangerous levels that are not only dangerous to the persons taking them (causing thoughts of suicide, etc.) but also to others that person comes in contact with. SSRI drugs have been the common denominator in a great many teen suicides, as well as in mass killings, and yet as far as I know there is nothing in the gun control legislation about to be voted on that would ban, or severely limit, prescribing these drugs to school age children or any group of persons known to already be mentally unsound. Crazy, don't you think?

Here are the US Senate voting results for the 7 amendments voted on today. Note that all were rejected. Two other amendments will be voted on tomorrow before the so called "Safe Communities, Safe Schools Act" is acted upon. Barry was quite upset that the amendments voted on today were all rejected, especially the bipartisan Toomey-Manchin proposal, and of course tried to blame that on Republicans while calling this "a shameful day for Washington." Fact is, though, that several Democrats voted against these amendments too. The Toomey-Manchin amendment was voted against by 5 Democrats, including "Dirty" Harry Reid! Only 4 Republicans supported the amendment. Of course the only things truly shameful about these amendments, which all infringed on Second Amendment rights to some degree, are that they were admitted into Senate voting in the first place, and that a majority of Senators voted in favor of them. Shame on those senators!

Edit - In a show of extreme asininity, Harry Reid just appeared on C-span with several Newtown "victim" family members, and several other Democrats (including senator Manchin) and actually took credit for voting to support the amendment, an absolute falsehood! I heard him vote 'Nay' as the vote occurred, and he is definitely listed in the Senate roll call as voting 'Nay.' How does he get away with this crap?

Both "Dirty" Harry Reid and Barry asserted that 90% of the American public supported these amendments, which in itself is a humongous lie. Barry claimed that the reason why the Toomey-Manchin amendment failed was because of the several senators who feared voter retaliation, but that of course would be a joke if only 10% of voters were against the amendment.

It is a wonder that, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, no one in Congress has yet proposed background checks on purchases of pressure cookers, or limits on the number of nails sold per package. After all, the two pressure cooker bombs caused extensive damage, including 3 deaths, 185 injured people, and around 30 of those injuries resulting in the need for amputations of shattered limbs. With all the police out on the street, a shooter probably would not have been able to get off more than 3 or 4 shots, so this just goes to show that simply made explosive devices, using readily obtainable items, present a far greater danger to the public than any lone gunman. And yet there is no legislation that could possibly have prevented Sandy Hook, nor the Boston bombings. Those who are hell bent on killing people, and killing or maiming as many as possible, will always find a way to do so regardless of any legislative attempt to curb such violence. That's a no-brainer.

These polls they keep quoting, "90% in favor of Backround checks"; what the people being polled are saying is they are in favor of measure to keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them; loonie toons etc.

Problem comes in the details. At what point do they say someone who got angry, because a auto-repair shop ripped them off, and so they yeled and created a 'scene' and police were called, and had to 'escort' them off the premises, (no arrest made) gets put on the 'list'? i.e. where do you draw the line??

And, as has been stated before, how much freedom are people willing to surrender, for 'security', (or the appearance of security!). And there will always be a certain %, (majority?) of people who, unfortunately, will 'take' that 'deal'!

Unfortunately, I think G.C. advocates (Reed, Obummer, etc.) may actually be laughing when the cameras aren't on; yes, they 'lost' the vote, but now they have an 'issue', to keep their 'supporters' ginned up, whereas the 'opponents' (gun rights supporters) will gradually relax. Well, at least now I'll (maybe) be able to get that ammunition I ordered 2 months ago, thats been on backorder! Jim

Today the US House of Representatives will vote on CISPA, the so-called "Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act." Without exception, all of the liberty stealing acts that our representatives in Washington hope to foist upon us are erroneously labeled as citizen protection devices. That, of course, is intentionally done to make the sheeple think that Washington is always taking actions that are in our best interest. In actuality, CISPA amounts to nothing more than cyber spying upon the public.

I urge anyone reading this to immediately phone your Representative and demand that he or she oppose CISPA, and any other legislation affecting the Internet. Use this directory to find your reps phone number. You may think it is a waste of your time to make the call because your rep has a record of voting the wrong way on other issues of importance, but if enough people call then your rep will listen. If you don't call then you might as well be giving your rep a nod of approval to implement CISPA, and to dream up other liberty stealing devices.

Here we go again....

Remember how, after the 9/11 incidents, our "government" was quick to send all members of the Bin Laden family out of the USA, thus preventing their detainment and questioning as should have occurred in a real investigation? Well, our "government" is at it again, this time racing to deport the Saudi national who was said to be the original "person of interest" regarding the Boston Marathon bombings. That person is a foreign student from Revere, Mass., and is identified as 20-year-old Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi. Appearing on Fox News Wednesday night, Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism said, “I just learned from my own sources that [Alharbi] is now going to be deported on national security grounds next Tuesday, which is very unusual.” This unusual action is quite likely the result of a meeting between Barry and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal held on Wednesday. The meeting was either hastily called, and/or intentionally kept off record, as it was not on Barry's public schedule for the day. Secretary of State John Kerry had met with the Saudi foreign minister Tuesday morning, which was the day following the Boston bombings, and that meeting was closed to the press.

It is interesting to note that Alharbi shares the same surname as several Alharbi clan members who are being held by the U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay, including Salim Salman Awadallah Al-Saidi Al-Harbi, Majid Abdullah Hussein Al-Harbi, Muhammad Abdullah Saqr Al-Alawi Al-Harbi, Ghanem Abdul Rahman Ghanem Al-Harbi and Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awfi Al-Harbi. Also of interest is that six more Alharbi clan members are among the Saudi government's list of 85 wanted al-Qaida operatives. With connections like that it makes one wonder how Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was able to obtain a student visa in the first place, but then again we have seen in the past that visas have been liberally handed out to most any Saudi national desiring one, including those who have been accused of committing terrorist acts. Hmmmm, anyone smell a rat?

Some very interesting photos of the Boston Marathon bomb sites, taken prior to the blasts, have been posted at this website, showing several possible suspects who were carrying heavy shoulder bags or backpacks. Of special interest to me were these two fellows, both dressed almost identically and obviously interacting with each other while also talking on cellphones. Are these men security personnel and communicating with other security personnel, or are they perhaps directing, or taking orders concerning the bomb placements? Or are they just a couple of well dressed, well equipped guys who happened to be there? In several other photos of these men, they don't seem to be very interested in watching the runners, and are usually looking elsewhere, possibly looking for others in their group who they may have been communicating with.


Also of special interest at the above linked website is this image of an anonymous posting which states some pretty damning things if true, and would support a theory that the bombings were a staged event having the purpose of inciting the public to a fearful call for banning reloading powder and severely limiting ammo sales, since the powder used in ammo could be utilized in explosive devices such as the Boston bombs.
