Judge: Ariz. Sheriff's Office Unfairly Profiles Latinos When EVERYBODY Knows The Arizona Border With Mexico Is Crawling With Undocumented Swedes - ABC News:

The 142-page decision by U.S. District Judge Murray Snow in Phoenix backs up allegations that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s critics have made for years that his officers rely on race in their immigration enforcement.

Arizona is a state were more than 2,000 illegals were getting arrested EVERY WEEK crossing the border from Mexico (an estimated 40% never get caught), and they’re upset that the Sheriff isn’t spending equal time worrying about illegal Swedes & Romanians?

Has the world just gone bat-shit crazy, or what?

Brits gun down two Islamic terrorists (video) -- both terrorists still alive | Why you need an American if you want a good gun fight | The Raw Story:

Oh, come on!

Point-blank range, semi or fully automatic weapons and they STILL can’t kill them?

For crying out loud…

We were getting a burger earlier, local place, and next to us was a family of four… tourists. Neither kid could have been older than 10 (and I doubt that old). They were talking about target shooting, for crying out loud!

Anyways, what the Brits need is a good old fashioned gun culture. Maybe then their police can get off a few respectable head shots…

The Sun's not yellow it's chicken: nolife-likelowlife: Boy Scouts Continue Ban On Gay Scoutmasters | Fox...:

nolife-likelowlife:

.
I never agreed with banning openly gay scouts and scoutmasters. I’m just saying having pedophile scoutmasters will stop child abuse in the Boy Scouts because no one will let their children do it. That’s an absurd suggestion.

That works for me. Whether they stay and just get vigilant or choose to let a homophobic institution die, it works out great for me.

The BSA contributes to the problem. They’re laboring to ensure that the next generation of scouts will have repressed, sexually frustrated, self-loathing scoutmasters to molest them. They can smarten up and change their behavior or they can close shop. I don’t care. But let’s not for one second pretend that they aren’t harming people, that they aren’t responsible for every scandal.

For generations the BSA taught kids that if one of their friends or neighbors (relatives/school mates) figures out that they’re gay, they should be ostracized. They should be cast out. They should be segregated.

The BSA isn’t saying that “Gay is okay,” they’re just saying that they’ll put up with a gay kid until the day he turns 18, and then he’s ostracized.

If the only way to stop the BSA is to run them out of business then let’s close them down. You wouldn’t hesitate for a racist group, I’m not about to cut any slack for the BSA and their malice towards gay people….

Like, Duh!

Boy Scouts Continue Ban On Gay Scoutmasters | Fox News

jtem:

I keep telling you people, and nobody ever listens, but the world works completely BACKWARDS from the way everyone wants to believe…

You want to ensure that the BSA will never have another sex scandal? Do you want to guarantee that no boy will every be inappropriately touched by a scoutmaster again? There is a way. These things are possible. They can be easily accomplished. Here’s how:

Recruit known child molesters as scoutmasters.

You’ve been trained to ignore the obvious, but let me try to explain it to you:

If known/convicted child molesters were scoutmasters, image the controls that would be put in place. No adult would ever be allowed to be alone with a child. They’d always have to have someone else present.

…”We can’t leave a child molester alone with the boys! Someone has to keep an eye on him.”

Parents would talk to their kids about the dangers… more parents would show up to “Watch over” their kids… chaperone… participate…

I’ll cut this short: If the BSA, the kids & families acted the way they would if they had convicted child molesters leading the troops there would never be another sex scandal. Ever.

…and if they simply recruited some child molesters then that’s the way the BSA (kids, families) would behave.

And if this sounds stupid then let me put it another way: There’s been countless sex scandals that have hit the BSA, countless boys sexually abused, and all of them occurred with honest & open gay scoutmasters & kids banned from the BSA. So the bans absolutely don’t work. There is no question here, no room for debate. Banning gay scoutmasters — gay mentors — has never protected a single child. Ever. It’s hurt countless, denied them mentors, taught them self loathing. It’s taught them that, because they’re gay, when they grow up they will become pariahs…

And what about the straight kids? All these years the BSA has been teaching them homophobia by way of example. The BSA is teaching them to cut off gay people, ostracize them… discard friends & family if they come out as gay.

The homophobia of the BSA, the hate of the BSA hasn’t protected a single boy, but it has hurt countless numbers and perpetuated an environment where the only gay people allowed are repressed, sexually frustrated and thoroughly self-loathing… and then the BSA acts surprised each time another scandal hits.

Stop being idiots. Life simply doesn’t work the way you think it does…

Or nobody would let their children do Boy Scouts, jackass.

Would you be upset if a totally racist institution died?

Likewise, I’m sure…

But seriously, you knuckle dragging imbecile, the answer — ban open and honest gay people — has never once saved one boy from abuse, even as it has helped to perpetuate a culture where some kids grow up to be repressed, sexually frustrated and totally self loathing — the perfect formula for abuse.

Last November, an Apple-1, also commonly known as the Apple I, sold for $640,000 at an auction in Germany. That sale surpassed the previous record of $374,500 set only five months earlier at Sotheby’s in New York.

The $116,000 mentioned in the headline is just the reserve price. That means if the minimum bid isn’t at least $116K then the computer will not be sold…

Out of 63 NJ bars tested, 29 passed off cheap booze as "Top Shelf" liqueur and some even filed bottles with rubbing alcohol and dirty water - and sold it as top-shelf booze - NY Daily News

Out of 63 NJ bars tested, 29 passed off cheap booze as "Top Shelf" liqueur and some even filed bottles with rubbing alcohol and dirty water - and sold it as top-shelf booze - NY Daily News:

The sting started after the state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control received more complaints than usual about mislabeled booze, director Michael Halfacre told The Associated Press. Then, earlier this year, undercover investigators went to 63 bars and restaurants suspected of scamming patrons. They would order top-shelf drinks neat - without mixers or ice - and then secretly take samples. Investigators found of 150 samples, 30 were misrepresented.

Statistically, that’s ridiculously high — 20% of all alcoholic drinks sold in New Jersey aren’t what people paid for.

Coast to Coast AM - UFOs, strange occurrences, life after death and other unexplained phenomena. Overnight talk radio with daytime ratings.

Today in Strangeness:

It was on this day in 1543 that Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus died. His heliocentric concept displaced Earth as the center of the universe, and served as the starting point for modern astronomy. Called a heretic by the Roman Catholic Church, Copernicus was buried in an unmarked grave. Nearly 500 years later on May 22, 2010, he was reburied at a cathedral by Polish priests who honored him as a hero.

Coast to Coast AM Schedule 5.24.13 - 5.30.13:

Here’s what’s coming up in the next week!

Friday, May 24, 2013: Filling in for George Noory, George Knapp welcomes UFO disclosure activist, Stephen Bassett, for a discussion on the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure and how close we are from finally being told the truth.

Saturday, May 25, 2013: Joining John B. Wells, former Senior Counsel to the World Bank and whistle-blower, Karen Hudes, will discuss what happened when she warned the Treasury Dept. and U.S. Congress that the U.S. would lose its right to appoint the President of the World Bank. She was recently arraigned and arrested by DC police.

6-10pm PT: Art Bell - Somewhere in Time returns to April 8, 1999, when Prof. Brian Greene discussed a scientific theory of everything in the universe, including time and space.

Sunday, May 26, 2013: In the first half, George Knapp is joined by popular former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman. As a mob attorney, he represented everyone from Meyer Lansky to Lefty Rosenthal. He’ll discuss his new job as roving ambassador for Las Vegas, and how a mob lawyer becomes the mayor of Las Vegas. In the latter half, author Bill Birnes talks about Dr. Max Jacobson, whom the Secret Service under President John F. Kennedy code-named “Dr. Feelgood.” He developed a unique “energy formula” that altered the paths of some of the twentieth century’s most iconic figures, including President and Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis.

Monday, May 27, 2013: Author and researcher Steve Quayle contends that most citizens in the West are unaware that they’ve been fed a carefully edited view of the past, tailored to prop up the powers that be and keep humanity ignorant. Using Native American legends, he’ll show why the truth they reveal is so important - and why there are those in our culture that would prefer you never discover these truths. Hosted by George Noory.

Tuesday, May 28, 2013: Author and investigator Graham Hancock will discuss the mysterious nature of reality, non-terrestrial beings, parallel dimensions, implications of quantum physics, consciousness research, and if the Mayan prophecies for the year 2012 were perhaps only a few years premature. Hosted by George Noory.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013: Director of abduction research for the Mutual UFO Network and niece of Betty Hill, Kathleen Marden and her co-author Denise Stoner, will discuss their research on the Betty & Barney Hill case, and the pioneering work of John Mack, the late Harvard psychiatrist who had the courage to investigate the alien abduction phenomenon. Hosted by George Noory.

Thursday, May 30, 2013: Investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe will discuss a new coronavirus called MERS that recently emerged in Saudi Arabia and kills like the 2003 deadly SARS.

In addition, she’ll share updates on crop circles, and the honey bee situation. Hosted by George Noory.

Elon Musk: Taxpayers saw an appalling 2.6% return on Tesla Motors loan -- well below inflation or the prime rate | The Raw Story

Fri, 24 May 2013 07:05:00 -0400

Elon Musk: Taxpayers saw an appalling 2.6% return on Tesla Motors loan -- well below inflation or the prime rate | The Raw Story:

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk said Thursday that U.S. taxpayers made a substantial profit from a government loan provided to the all-electric carmaker.

Get this, in yet another example of blatant Orwellian Newspeak, the government LOSES money and we’re told that it made money…

Elon Musk is a billionaire. Why did our government GIVE AWAY cash to a billionaire, and why is our media pretending that we made money off of this scam?

See, In reality the government lost a great deal of money. The loan was made in 2010 and amounted to more than $465 million, yet the government saw a return of only about 2.6% on the cash.

Inflation for the period was 6.6%.

…so the government needed to see a 6.6% return just to break even, and instead it only got about 2.6%.

That’s a loss.

“Prime Rate” right now is running at about 3.3% annually.

The point that is zooming over your head is that YOU HAVE experienced it, you’ve experienced far WORSE, it’s just you…

the zimmerman incident was not an instance of racism. anyone who thought the zimmerman incident was an instance of racism really ought to reexamine their bayesian priors. i am not talking about the zimmerman incident.

You weren’t talking at all. I was responding to someone else…

And, yes, the Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin shooting was not an example of racism, and yet it so happens to be the single biggest — WORST! — case of American racism bandied about on Tumblr, easily surpassing any other. In fact, the Social Justice poseurs had to dredge up past (generations old) incidents just to approach it in magnitude.

Exactly.

The absolute worst, most over hyped example of racism in America in recent years, and it wasn’t even racism. Not against POC anyway. The people calling it racism were themselves racist. The whole affair was predicated on the belief that no harm could fall on a POC unless a conspiracy reaching at least as high as county government was behind it.

…but that fact is probably too much to register within the minds of “Social Justice” poseurs, so maybe we shouldn’t dwell on it…

Bearing in mind, JTEM is a liberal American and I’m a half-black British person who has never experienced racism from a white prole in my entire life.

The point that is zooming over your head is that YOU HAVE experienced it, you’ve experienced far WORSE, it’s just you don’t know it because the standards of the U.K. are so much different (below) the U.S.

You’re simply taking the rhetoric from the American “Social Justice” poseurs at their word, and assuming because you see nothing like what they describe that means things are better for you. But they’re not. They’re worse. Culturally the U.K. is far LESS racially sensitive than the U.S.

America is a big place. If there’s a one-in-a-million chance that someone can be an over the top racist then there’s about as many over the top racists in America as there are people in Whales. So if you choose to find racism in America, and spend all day every day depicting racism in America, you can. It doesn’t mean there’s one lick more than in the U.K. — in fact, there’s less — but if you want to overload people with “Evidence” of American racism you can certainly do that. Even so, most examples of racism in America you see waved about are purely a case of perception, they’re only racism because people choose to see them as racism. You would have no idea that it’s supposed to be racism if they didn’t tell you. You couldn’t see it as racism unless they first told you to.

The most obvious example (and one I just used recently) is the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin shooting. It’s racist because…. well… because.

You require the cheapest, most circular reasoning to call the case “Racist” and yet that’s exactly what you do. Why? Because you were told to, and you’re trained to jump on command.

You have to begin with your conclusion — racism — in order to arrive at racism. If you don’t assume that the police are racist, if you don’t assume the district attorney’s office is racist, if you don’t assume that the only reason a gun-happy, paranoid twit living in a gated community — a community which caters to crime conscious people who want to keep strangers out — could shoot someone physically attacking him is because he’s a racist then there is no reason to ever suspect racism.

If you don’t begin with the assumption that the police are all racist then you would have to conclude that they really couldn’t find a crime to charge the man under when they said that they couldn’t. And without you also assuming the district attorney is part of a racial conspiracy you have to assume that the prosecutor could not find the evidence of a crime which George Zimmerman could be prosecuted for.

You need the conclusion — “Racism” — in order to arrive at your conclusion… “Racism.”

(For the moment let’s ignore the fact that you yourself have to be racist in order to see all white people as evil racial conspirators in the first place…)

“But the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain with a lengthy history of confronting strangers within his community constructed for those who want to keep strangers out confronted him. RACISM!”

You’re being manipulated. People with agendas are manipulating you to an extant where they now have you thoroughly trained. You not only don’t ask questions, you can’t even spot the obvious, not when you’re told that it feeds into your dogma.

The government whips up hysteria about Muslims and Arabs in general

This is utter bullshit.

The exact opposite is occurring. Even when religious/racial motives are clearly present, the response is to ignore or even flat out deny them. The most obvious example is the Fort Hood shooter — a religiously motivated Islamic terrorist attack — which was uniformly misidentified as a workplace shooting.

Even today, the media reports that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the younger of the bombers, was not anti-American/religiously motived:

According to The Los Angeles Times, a law enforcement official said Dzhokhar “did not seem as bothered about America’s role in the Muslim world” as his brother Tamerlan had been.

In order to grasp the magnitude of the whitewashing here: This young man not only left a nail-packed bomb in a crowd of innocent civilian strangers but according to reports left anti-American/pro Islamicist graffiti in the boat he was hiding in!

I’m online here and I get Muslims — American Muslims — telling me they won’t touch food that American service men & women have prepared, out of hatred for the service men & women, and at the same time the government & media is trying to portray cold blooded terrorists in the warmest possible light…

You are completely out of touch with reality, completely submerged in propaganda.

I keep telling children — and they never listen — but the most idiotic thing you can ever do is to ask people to view crime in terms of race instead of economics. The worst racists are on your side there, the most hardcore white supremacists stand shoulder to shoulder with you, trying just as vehemently to get everyone to interpret crimes racially.

Stop being an idiot.
