When Homeland Security Theater Goes Off-Script

by William Norman Grigg

*** begin quote ***

While police in Watertown, Massachusetts closed in on the boat in which 19-year-old terrorist suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had concealed himself, FBI investigators in Chicago were snapping handcuffs on 18-year-old Abdella Ahmed Tounisi as he attempted to board an airplane bound for Istanbul. He intended to travel to Syria to fight on behalf an Islamic rebel group that seeks to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

There is reason to believe that the FBI had advance knowledge of the Boston Marathon bombing plot. On the other hand, we know that Tounisi was a pure product of the FBI’s terrorist factory: He was the latest in a long procession of socially alienated teenage Muslim males who have been lured into an FBI-orchestrated plot by the Bureau’s roving troupe of “terrorism facilitators.”

What makes the terrorism charges against Tounisi more remarkable is the fact that he is accused of seeking to enlist in the service of a terrorist group that is presently receiving material aid from Washington.

Tounisi had been targeted by the FBI last fall after a friend named Abdel Daoud was snared in one of the Bureau’s prefabricated terror plots.

Isn’t this by definition “entrapment”?

Argh!

I don’t know how the Sheeple and Clovers put up with this.

Instead of doing real police work to prevent the Boston Bombing, check processes so when someone tells you something real, you take action.

This is like a little girl’s tea party.

More like the Mad Hatter! 

Argh!

RANT: Mayhem and murder are the State’s hallmarks

Friday, April 19, 2013

Oh, Please
via LewRockwell.com Blog by Becky Akers on 4/16/13

Every time the Feds mount another false-flag operation-sorry, every time another tragedy like the Boston Marathon Massacre hits, the corporate media solemnly assures us that mayhem and murder are “the price we pay to live in a free society.” Balderdash. Mayhem and murder are the State’s hallmarks; the freer a society is, the less of both there will be. Imagine America without her ruling socipaths: no wars overseas or at home; incredibly little poverty absent the Fed’s inflation, professional licensing to create unemployment, and taxation; virtually no crime since the well-regulated militia would defend itself from all criminals, free-lance or official.

Meanwhile, the latest of the media’s morons to blame Boston’s horror on liberty rather than Leviathan is Tom “The Babbler” Brokaw. First, The Babbler calls the police-state currently tyrannizing Americans an “open society.” If warrantless wiretapping, waterboarding and other torture, NDAA, gate-rape, secret No-Fly Lists, and the NSA are The Babbler’s idea of “openness,” well, spare me from what he considers tyranny (actually, we all know how he defines “tyranny”: these same evils when practiced by other countries’ politicians and bureaucrats on their hapless serfs — usually financed with Uncle Sam’s “foreign aid”). Second, at best, the State apparently knew an attack was likely and did not prevent it, despite the overwhelming resources at its command; at worst, it actively participated in it.

I just don’t trust the politicians and bureaucrats.

RANT: Looks like one of the bombs was on the “wrong side” of the security fence?

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Did you see the picture of the second bomb?

INSIDE the security fence.

Where was the security for that section? Nothing is supposed to be on the secure side of that fence!!!!

They should have been on it and that would have given time for evacuation?

RANT: Boston has to be examined

The Plot Thickens
via LewRockwell.com Blog by Becky Akers on 4/16/13

“University of Mobile’s Cross Country Coach, who was near the finish line of the Boston Marathon when a series of explosions went off, said he thought it was odd there were bomb sniffing dogs at the start and finish lines. ‘They kept making announcements to the participants do not worry, it’s just a training exercise,’ Coach Ali Stevenson told Local 15. Stevenson said he saw law enforcement spotters on the roofs at the start of the race. He’s been in plenty of marathons in Chicago, D.C., Chicago, London and other major metropolitan areas but has never seen that level of security before.”

And the police-state still couldn’t get it right.

Hmmm. Or did it? Be sure to catch the readers’ comments: plenty of other skeptics out there, flinging terms like “false-flag” and “psy-ops.”

# – # – # 

I too don’t trust the mainstream media not to be a lapdog for “group think”.

Within hours, the liberal press (CNN and MSNBC) were indicting the “right wing”.

Sorry, but I have no idea who did it.

I’m not even sure there was “extra security”. 

What I do know, deep in my heart, that we haven’t gotten, won’t get, may never know the “true story”. 

Argh!

RANT: The value of low prospects; no disappointments

Is to have very low expectations!

RANT: Easter sermons should NOT be political

Wednesday, April 3, 2013

Pastor at Obama’s Easter Church Service: ‘Captains of the Religious Right’ Want Blacks ‘in the Back of the Bus,’ Women ‘Back in the Kitchen’
Mar. 31, 2013 1:26pm Madeleine Morgenstern

*** begin quote ***

The pastor at the Washington, D.C. church where the Obama family celebrated Easter on Sunday said members of the religious right want blacks “in the back of the bus,” women “back in the kitchen” and immigrants “back on their side of the border.”

*** end quote ***

Perhaps the good Pastor missed the message of Easter?

Peace on Earth, Good will towards man, universal forgiveness.

A political attack on the right, or the left for that matter, from the pulpit is unseemly.

To a President, who seems to thrive on being a spendthrift and creating division in the country, a better sermon might be about the “brotherhood of man”, the parable of the talents, or the admonition to save for a rainy day. 

If he claims not to have heard anything from Reverend Wright, then it probably doesn’t matter what is said.

Shame to waste the day on divisivness.

RANT: Rewriting history?

Elite Eight Basketball Player Snaps Leg in Game — See Pictures of the Pain, Teammates’ Emotion
Mar. 31, 2013 6:39pm Liz Klimas

*** begin quote ***

Sports Nation reporter Roger Sherman described the injury as looking as “horrible as soon as it happened — we’re gonna go ahead and not show it to you; it’s really not the type of injury that’s typical in a basketball game — but I think you can pretty much gauge how bad it was from the reactions of his teammates and coach Rick Pitino.”

Teammates fell on the court, wiping their eyes in emotion seeing Ware’s state. Duke players too were filled with compassion toward their opponent.

Here is footage of the scene (Note: it might be consider graphic to some):

*** end quote ***

“No longer viewable due to a copyright claim by CBS”

So history is no longer the province of the People.

Want more proof that the Media manipulates the news?

Anyone want to claim that this is not “news” and in the public interest?

Hope the man recovers as promised, but I still object to the manipulation of history.

RANT: Vietnam, Republic of

Black Eye

*** begin quote ***

For once, we agree with Bob Beckel.

The veteran Democratic operative and panelist on Fox News Channel’s “The Five” was outraged over a recent segment on the CBS’s reality show, “The Amazing Race.” And rightfully so. On a swing through Vietnam, someone thought it would be a swell idea to have the contestants pick up a clue in front of the wreckage of a U.S. B-52 bomber, shot down by an SA-2 battery during the war.

*** end quote ***

How insensitive can the Liberal Media be?

I lost friends, directly and indirectly, in the Viet Nam “war”. As a country, the Gooferment screwed over “We, The People”.

Argh!

As a vet, I feel for all the folks on all sides of the debate. I was lied to as was everyone else. 

BUT, that doesn’t give the Liberal Media / Hollywood the right to taunt.

There’s a reason that Jane Fonda is reviled!

Add CBS to my personal list!!!

RANT: Moat, like around a castle?

Sunday, March 24, 2013

http://www.alternet.org/books/outrageous-david-cay-johnston-explains-how-big-corporations-withhold-your-taxes-and-then?page=0%2C1&akid=10233.1122391.f44_vU&rd=1&src=newsletter813672&t=9

JH: David, you detailed very, very well how we are constantly being ripped off. It’s a death of 1,000 cuts. Why is that? The story that we’ve gotten, for years and years and years, is that we have less regulation in order to spur competition. Ultimately, that competition was supposed to benefit consumers. What’s going wrong?

DCJ: I want more competition. Here’s what really goes on, however. We put up barriers to competition, and in fact, Wall Street has institutionalized this concept. Morningstar, they’re a big financial advice firm. They tell people that they should grade companies and decide whether to buy their stock, based on something called a “moat index.” Moat, like around a castle? A moat index asks, “What barriers has the government erected to keep anybody else from competing against that company?” Indeed, as I show in my book, you could get rich if you invest in those companies that have regulatory moats — where under the name of deregulation, we have insulated them from the rigors of the market.

Unfortunately, what we have today is faux capitalism!

The “regulators” are in bed with that which they are supposed to “regulate”.

FDA and Big Pharma is the classic example.

The SEC, FTC, OCC, and all the other bureaucrats are a revolving door with Wall Street.

And, the politicians are like the whorehouse Madam!

Argh!

RANT: don’t have a good place to put this!

“Think about the last time you met someone new. What did you think of them? What did you tell yourself about what they thought of you?”

This is a tough one.

I don’t usually care what folks think of me.

Egotistical?

Yes.

Sadly, I’m a very shallow person. I only care what I think!

FOr example, there are two parents in a local dive with their two young children.

One younger girl and one slightly older boy.

“Celebrating” saint patricks DAY, with green face paint and hats.

Why do I feel that this is NOT what saint pat would want?

When I read all the jokes about the Irish, facebook posts, and assorted stuff, I think “pioneer society”.

Padriac, I am thinking of you.

I wonder if I’d have been better off following in your footsteps / example.

We’ll ever know.

I have this vision of hitting Saint Pete’s Gate and finding out what could have been?

Argh!
