Hate crimes appear to be a very difficult thing to eliminate entirely, because a small number of angry, deranged people inevitably will vent their rage at groups they find threatening. The blogger however is grappling with the fact that politicians have been fueling such hatefulness.
The Hunger Games real meaning is an allegory. Main actor, Donald Sutherland is risking his career to expose it. It is vital that young people seeing the movies know what they are really about.
There is a common thread that occurs with many of the mass shootings: official training exercises held just prior to, or at the same time as, the shootings.
Responding to announcements by Apple and Google that they would make customers’ smartphone and computer data more secure, in October 2014 the FBI’s director James Comey announced the Bureau was seeking to enlarge its data collection capabilities to include direct access to cell phones, tablets, and computers through an expansion of the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) in the interest of “public safety”
Violence begets terrorism. Terrorism begets war. War begets more terrorism. It really is that simple. But we just can’t seem to help ourselves. We’re a young and fallible species in an otherwise ancient and fine-tuned universe. All too often our animal reflexes kick in and we just want to kick some ass. Our inner-monkey wants to start throwing shit just because it’s upset. Without thinking, we holler “Bomb em’ all!” from the comfort of our La-Z-Boys. It’s too hard to think, so we go with the primitive and outdated default: fight or flight. But this is the immature, lizard part of our brain doing the talking, not the mature seat of consciousness that is trying to make the world a better place.
In what appears to be a textbook case of xenophobia in the wake of a tragedy, more than a dozen U.S. governors have declared their states off-limits to Syrian refugees in the days following Friday’s terror attacks in Paris.
The creation of ISIS and other, frankly, narcissistic, terrorist groups is mostly about leveraging successful psychologies to underscore the funneling of willing dupes. Aided & abetted by institutions, the mainstream (and most alternative) medias, freelance & paid experts, have constructed a false “reality” and the veil of deceit is now so thick, justifications for lies are scarcely offered.
Recent reports from Genie, a US oil-exploration company, suggest oil has been found in Israel. Lots of it. The oil is actually in the Golan Heights, which was taken by Israel, from Syria, in the 1967 war. The ownership of the area is still contested. Is the Syrian-war escalation in part an effort to pave the way for Israeli oil?
“As Americans, we respect human dignity, even when we’re threatened, which is why I’ve…worked to make sure our use of new technology like drones is properly constrained.” – President Obama. A message to President Obama: saying something does not make it so. How does killing people, so many of them innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever, with missiles launched from drones by “pilots” thousands of miles away, demonstrate respect for human dignity and the application of “proper” constraints?
Brazil’s Supreme Court decided on Thursday to ban corporate donations to election campaign financing in a move to clean up Brazilian politics caught in a massive kickback scandal.
Europe and North America are currently negotiating two trade deals that could turn out to be the biggest corporate power grabs in history — TTIP and CETA. The treaties read like a corporate wish-list: secret courts that can sue our governments, the removal of environmental and health regulation and the degradation of working standards.
There is a great deal going around the web at this time concerning a possible economic collapse in the last week of September. Whether this will actually happen and what effects it might have are quite uncertain. Where this idea comes from I have no idea. Before we can identify what the probable truth of this is, we need to view this idea from the viewpoint of the so called “Elite”.
Now some are saying The Donald is running to form a third party and thus hand the election to Hillary. Whereas the preferred alternative would be what? Prince Jeb? There’s a difference between Hillary and Jeb? Who’s kidding who? I approach this from a different angle. Trump is unpredictable. He’s the only unpredictable presidential candidate in recent memory.
You may like him or not, consider him an inconsequential blowhard or a legitimate alternative, but he is getting noticed by Globalist heavy hitters with such news commentaries stating that “[Trump] has threatened to raise taxes on imports to the United States to bolster domestic production.”
During centuries of struggle, Europe carved out a mission of individual freedom, against all odds, and there were eventually many victories. This could all go down the drain as globalists utilize immigration issues in Europe to seize greater control at the expense of the individual.
