MALYASIAN FLIGHT 370 STILL MISSING AS LOCAL GOVERNMENT SEEMS INCAPABLE OF TELLING US THE TRUTH.

I'll be the first to admit that the US is terrible at getting news out. The government holds back loads of crucial info, the news media uses rumor as fact trying to beat their competitors to the big scoop, and countless blogs spread disinformation totally muddying the waters. But none of that compares to the Malaysian government which is proving to be utterly incompetent when it comes to getting ANY information about the missing plane thus far.


As reported here, Malaysian officials told reporters in no uncertain terms that one of the people using a stolen passport looked like Italian football player Mario Balotelli who happens to be black. When pictures came out the next day, we find the two suspects are both Iranian. How can you possibly mistake a black man for an Iranian? You can't unless you are blind.

 
 

Meanwhile, the Malaysian military is still in charge of the investigation, meaning outside sources such as the US or China have been unable to offer more than just search support. Their official statements are worse than anything we have here and that includes Fox News and CNN. One source says the plane was way off course, while another denies that's true at all. That is not how to search for something this important when every second counts. The Malaysian government has proven itself utterly incompetent of heading this search and other countries should be leaning hard on them to give up the reigns because, at this rate, we'll find Amelia Earhart before Flight 370.


Everywhere but in this country, much has been made about loved ones calling their relatives cell phones who were on the plane and getting a ring instead of straight to voice mail. I am still unsure as to the veracity of this claim. Some say the phone will go straight to voice mail if turned off (like mine does). Others say the phone will ring if it searches for the closest cell tower, which if the plane did go down in the water, would cause this effect. If anyone out there knows, post it in a comment below. Either way, the US media is treating it as just another "conspiracy theory" that doesn't deserve our time because they are too busy showing us video of Justin Bieber's deposition and apparent audition of douchebag of the year.

The fact that NO debris has been found is extremely troubling at this point. Assuming it went down right after it's course correction (which is still unexplained as well), there is no way someone wouldn't have seen something by now. The French flight, 447, that went down in the Atlantic in 2009 took five days to find the debris field and two years to find the actual wreck. We're on day six in an area not nearly as big as the Atlantic and still nothing. That seems to fly in the face of reality. The area is one of the biggest shipping lanes in the world and the waters off the coast are no more than 200 feet deep.


The most troubling aspect over all of this is when you add up all the components, terrorism is still the most likely scenario, no matter when you hear. Two Iranians with stolen passports and one way tickets get on board, their tickets bought by a third Iranian. That man, only known so far as Mr. Ali, wanted the cheapest seats and didn't care which flight, which would suggest the plane may have been the ultimate target and not anything else. We keep hearing how none of the people have any ties to terrorism but one has to question that logic knowing everything we know now.

We know the transponder was turned off. We know the flight took a sudden, unexplained turn. We know there was no further radio contact. Rumors abound that the flight also dove below radar range at some point after all of the above, suggesting someone took this flight. The fact that no debris field has been found strongly suggest nefarious purposes.

If the flight was taken, who did it? It could be the Iranians as radicalized youth are all the rage right now and the two on board were 18 and 19. It could be the North Koreans, just cause they are nutty enough to do something like this. It could even be Chinese separatists who recently killed 28 in a knife attack in Yuunan. The minority Uyghur population has decided to go the terrorist route, threatening China and Buddhists which is incredibly stupid unless you have real desire to die. Videos have surfaced recently over this promising more attacks, with one group so far taking credit for the disappearance of Flight 370, but is most likely not true. The reason why is that whoever took this plane had to have had state sponsored support for an undertaking of this magnitude.


If the plane was stolen, it had to have cell phone jammers smuggled on board to prevent anyone from texting what was going on. It had to have had a place to move the plane to and camouflage to prevent it from being seen. The hostages had to be eliminated, or if useful kept which would be worse than death. Some of the women could be sold as slaves and the 20 tech experts on board used as slave labor. Anyway you look at it, this would be a very expensive, very difficult crime to pull off, assuming Flight 370 didn't veer off course for some other rational explanation that hasn't been thought of yet.

It is extremely suspicious that in today's day and age of GPS, we do not have the ability to find that plane's last known co-ordinates. I can track a tagged turtle throughout the Galapagos Island region with it's GPS signal on my home computer but a huge 777 can just freaking disappear? That's odd.


If the plane was stolen, depending on who took it, we could be in serious trouble. If someone took it bent on world destruction all they would have to do is line that baby up with the crippled Fukushima plant and rain radiation down on half the planet. In such a scenario, the entire West Coast of the United States would be uninhabitable within a week not to mention the complete destruction of all of Japan and neighboring states. Millions would die. If such a things happened, expect a nuclear war soon after because someone is getting bombed and North Korea and Iran may be first on that list even if they had nothing to do with it. Pray the plane went down in the ocean and this aircraft isn't seen again crashing into something really bad and guaranteeing a race war between Muslims and everyone else.

TERRORISM, MECHANICAL OR OTHER:THE STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF MALAYSIAN FLIGHT 370

In something that seems unlikely in today's day and age of total surveillance, Flight 370 leaving Malaysia disappeared. No signs of wreckage have been found, no satellite imagery showing an explosion have been located (and trust me they have looked), and no terrorists have taken credit. Nothing. Conspiracy theories are abundant as the experts struggle to explain how one can just suddenly lose a plane. But the facts are starting to come out and there are only three possible explanations. One, a sudden issue with the plane that shorted out every electric system on the plane causing it to drop like a stone. Two, a bomb or missile took it down. Three, it was hijacked and flown to a secret airstrip for reasons unknown. The third one is surprisingly the most likely at this point.

Let's look at the facts of case below:
.


Lumpur



The route was only over water for a short period of time and in crowded air space. If the plane did explode midair, there should be some sign of it. No wreckage found. No satellite pictures. No witnesses from air or sea have come forward to say they saw anything. That would suggest the plane did not explode, although it also cannot be totally ruled out. For now, the chances are slim this is the right scenario, especially as they seem to be having an incredibly difficult time finding the black box in an area where it shouldn't be this hard.

Second, it has been suggested the plane had a catastrophic problem which is why no mayday was given. It would have to be something awful. The problem with this though is the emergency beacons which should be floating on the water where the plane hit cannot be located. Flight 370 was equipped with them so are they not working? It could be that Malaysian Air was cutting corners and were using faulty sensors. The other reason is that the plane never crashed in the first place. Even if the plane had a total electric meltdown, the sensors should have been protected from it, unless it was a test of some new EMP weapon that shorted everything out, a possibility that cannot be totally ruled out either. This is uncharted territory.

The most likely explanation appears to be terrorism of some sort was involved. Reports say the plane was turning back when it lost contact. It is also possible it was hijacked and headed to a secret airbase to be used for nefarious purposes. This would suck worst for the passengers who, any way you look at it, are probably dead or worse, slaves if they did get hijacked. The plane could be used as one hell of a weapon if some enterprising individual got ahold of it. China has been experiencing a wave of terrorist attacks from their minority Muslim population in their western areas, with a recent knife attack that killed 28 people and injured dozens more. Yeah, tell me one more time people against guns that only guns kill people and explain this. A person trained in any weapon can do a lot of damage regardless of the tool used.

China had received a terrorist warning just days before this and could be connected. Spread rumors about going to Beijing's airport and strike somewhere else is a classic disinformation move. One of the people using the stolen passport was black and resembled Italian football player Mario Balotelli according to reports. Nothing is known about the other except that he was not Asian. Their passage was booked by an Iranian businessman only known as Mr. Ali. The fact that Iran is involved in some way does not surprise me as I do not trust their government any more than our own. This has all the hallmarks of something that could be very, very bad the more we find out about it.


Of course there are crazy notions out there to that the plane disappeared in to some sort of Bermuda Triangle thing, that aliens took it, or even a false flag operation intentionally planned by CNN. I gotta love that one as CNN is so incompetent they cannot even report the news correctly let alone fake a plane crash.

Any way you look at it, this case is weird. There are too many things that had to have gone wrong for to it to have simply disappeared by chance. One way or another, someone took this plane down in a way that caused it to not be found. That is a mystery that will not be going away anytime soon.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: REPUBLICANS

Yes, with CPAC this week, we got not only a healthy dose of crazy, but some of the most suicidal talk from Republicans who have officially lost touch with reality. The fact that Rand Paul won the straw poll for the second year in a row is telling, yet the party base wants to do the exact opposite of everything Paul is telling them to do. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Malaysian Airlines- In this country we have some of the worst and strictest airline security on Earth. It is strict to such a point that getting anything on board would be a herculean task while at the same time wasting billions of dollars on crap that doesn't work, like those much touted explosive booths that have been removed and the naked x-ray scanners that have also been altered. However, it also turns out that the US is one of only a handful of countries worldwide that check passport info with Interpol to make sure they are not stolen. Two stolen passports, used at the same time, were aboard the plane that recently disappeared on way to China. As Malaysian Air never bothered to check that the passports were not stolen, did they inadvertently let two terrorists on board? Two other stolen passports were also allegedly used on the same flight, but that remains unverified. Anyone you look at it, this airline is going to be sued back to the Stone Age. Nice to see incompetence is world wide and not just here at home.


2)MA Supreme Court- In a truly mind boggling decision, the high court here in this state decided that way the law was worded, taking photos of women upskirt wasn't illegal. as they said nudity wasn't a factor. They do know that some women wear thongs or go commando right? How is that not naked? Either way, the left and right got to together, drafted a bill, passed it and had the governor sign it in less than 24 hours that made it illegal again. How come we can't do that with anything else?

3)The Boy Scouts- A lot has been made about gay rights lately and the boy scouts are the latest group to be on the wrong side of history. Disney is a gay friendly industry, because any smart businessman knows gay people spend money just like everyone else, and has decided to stop all funding for local boy scout troops until they lift the ban on gay scout leaders. That is standing up against the Christian right and I applaud Disney for it, even though I am still pissed about the screenplay they stole from me several decades ago. If you ever saw the animated film, Atlantis, I wrote it, they stole it, or changed it enough so I got zero credit for it, depending on who you believe. But as I have no way of proving who did it or how it's all moot anyway. For all I know Disney execs might not even have known and the writer who got credit plagiarized me. It's all water under the bridge either way. But for now, Disney is at least being progressive.


4)The Immaculate Heart of Mary School- I went to Catholic School for many, many years. I was never taught the world is 6000 years old. Gay people were not the spawn of Satan, which is good because I know at least two people from back then who came out years later. This school based in Boston however has been unruly toward gay people, abortion rights and other hot button topics. After gays were allowed to march in the upcoming St. Patrick's Day Parade, this school dropped out, just like they did in the past for other events that held "blasphemous" ideals. When gays were excluded again in a controversial move, these guys came back, now that they won't be soiled by having to see gay people. If my school experience is any example though, at least a dozen of those attending the school are probably gay too.

5)Russia- These guys have been on a tear lately. Putin has been described by Merkel as "out of touch with reality," which is just what you want to hear for a person controlling the world's largest nuclear arsenal. They have hurt their economy, are facing sanctions for their actions, and may even be expelled from the UN if they continue. Their economy is still hurting from this bad decision which could lead to worldwide economic ruin if they decide to start dumping dollars, along with Chinese, which would start a hyperinflationary effect which might double food prices overnight. This is a very volatile situation.


6)China- Not reported anywhere in Western media this week was the collapse of Charoi Solar, the first default for any Chinese company. As the Chinese recently bailed out two banks, this is a bad sign for their economy. Equally bad is the news that while banks in the US have only a $2.1 trillion debt risk for loans, the Chinese have a $15 trillion loan risk, which is the kind of thing that sunk us hard in 2008. If their loans start going belly up, their economy will crash and that will take the world's down with it. Chinese debt is now 213% of total GDP, up from 140% in 2007. Sound familiar because we already went down this road with awful results.

7)The Tea Party- This week, two Tea Party morons proved that this group is anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-women, regardless of how many times they try to say otherwise. In Kansas this week, a Tea Party group is attempting to get the anti gay marriage bill back on tract, while the head of the local operation wrote a scandalous letter about how much gay people are evil and deserve no rights. What a dick. Janis Lane, a Tea Party head from Central Mississippi was recently quoted as saying women should never have gotten the right to vote and this is coming from A WOMAN! It's like a black guy saying slavery was awesome and we should go back to that way of life. What a bunch of morons.


8)Republicans- It was another banner week for the GOP. We had John McCain and Lindsey Graham foaming at the mouth and attacking Obama for not standing up to Putin, conveniently forgetting the nuclear war that awaits should this go south quick. Lawrence Lockman (R-Maine) who once wrote about that AIDS was caused by people's addiction to sodomy has now said that is abortion as legal, so should rape, as if the two go together. Paul Ryan released his budget ideas which haven't changed an iota since losing in 2012 and inadvertently proved every point he made about poverty wrong when stats he touted turned out to be the exact opposite of his predicted results. The best was CPAC which had many, like Ted Cruz, suggesting that the reason they lost the last few elections was they were not conservative enough and should go after gays and abortion rights harder. This flies in the face of the fact that Rand Paul who has the opposite ideas, won handily the straw poll. A recent poll taken among Generation Wuss suggests that they do not care about anti-gay positions and are more worried about pot legalization, immigration and jobs. If they continue down this road, they stand to lose biug in 2014. Their idiocy is already causing shockwaves in the Georgia race where seven GOP candidates are comically losing to the sole democrat running against them. They are filled with Tea Party nonsense, creationists and anti-Obama racists. No wonder they are losing. Yet the GOP wants even more of this. Good luck with that guys because you are indeed douchebag of the week.

REVIEW: DALLAS BUYERS CLUB AND WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO MAKE IT

I finally saw Dallas Buyers Club this week, days after it won Oscars for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Make-up effects. The last one was a mystery to me, as the make-up wasn't that great until I found out the entire budget for the film was $250 which the two make-up artists stayed within budget. That is very Oscar worthy in my opinion. McConaughey and Leto were fantastic and I am glad they both won. The script was tight and riveting. Here is a brief summary.


It's 1985 and Ron Woodruff (McConaughey) starts the movie sickly but undiagnosed having wild sex with some rodeo groupies, making us in the audience go EEEEWWWWW! We know he already had AIDS and are horrified by the prospect of him unwittingly giving it to the two hotties he is boning. But fate soon gets him to the hospital where he finds not only does he have full blown AIDS, he only has thirty days to live. He desperately tries to get onto the new AZT trials but soon realizes that not only will the study possibly be giving him placebos instead of the drug, but after acquiring some illegally, the drug doesn't work as advertised.

So Ron heads to Mexico where he finds alternative medicines that work better than what the FDA has approved and soon starts transporting these medicines across the border, much to the chagrin of the DEA, FDA and other alphabet government goons. Ron acquires the help of transvestite and fellow AIDS suffered Rayon (Leto) who didn't actually exist in real life but is a great character nonetheless. Together they start the Dallas Buyers Club which doesn't sell drugs but memberships which of course gets him into all sorts of trouble with the Federal Government, pissed that someone is doing something that is working without their okay. Big Pharma and doctors conspire to do everything they can to get rid of Woodruff, using the police, the IRS and DEA to hound him at every juncture, even though his regiment is better than the poison AZT they are selling. Ron extends his life from the thirty days given to more than seven years by doing everything they said not to.

This movie took decades to make as funding could never be found. I find this terribly suspicious as this screenplay was money and had award season all over it. So if money or prestige wasn't the issue what was? Most likely, the subversive tone over how bad our FDA system is may have made many not wanting to see an IRS audit of their own over telling people this fact. The film goes into great detail over how drugs are actually sold and the health of the patient is far down on the list of concerns. It's one of the reasons I want the FDA disbanded and reformed because this crap is dangerous and explains lots over why legal drugs kill more people than all other illegal drugs combined. And thanks to an overly generous Supreme Court ruling, if you are harmed in any way over a bad drug reaction, no matter if the company on purpose put it out there knowing it was dangerous, you can't sue. Awesome.


The Feds did everything they could to destroy Woodruff, demanding he take the unreliable AZT rather than the drug cocktail he was using which actually worked. Big Pharma couldn't make a fortune off of vitamins and plasma, so they leaned on the government to do their bidding. Even in the 80's, these companies had more power than the Federal Government. Imagine what they can do today.

This is a must see. Some of the best parts are when Woodruff tries to get back with his homophobic circle of friends after his AIDS diagnosis who now all assume he is gay and that's how he got it. It is real life for certain on film. It also shows how legal drugs are not always the panacea they are advertised as. I have written extensively that a lot of the drugs on the market are snake oil and herbal remedies in many cases are better. Weed is a good example of something that is better used than many THC derivatives like Marinol who has a side effect of psychotic behavior and may have led to several murders. Weed just gives you the muchies not a desire to slaughter your whole family. But pot is cheap and plentiful. Hell, you could grow it yourself. But Big Pharma wants to continue to soak us with worthless garbage and not necessarily what will make us better.


This is a must see movie and one that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

 5 stars out of 5.

FASCISM: HOW THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES AND RUSSIA SHOW THAT THE WORLD IS BEING TURNED INTO A CORPORATE RUN PLANET

In the movie "Grosse Point Blanke," John Cusack's assassin character tries to explain how there are no countries anymore. According to him, it's all "a public relations ploy." Everyone is interconnected and, in today's global environment, he couldn't be more accurate. We are seeing first hand right now how true that is.

Let's start with Russia. Putin decided to go all cold war and threaten to invade a neighboring country. The US went nuts, as did most of the world, which is a little hypocritical as the US invaded one country with no reason (Iraq) and possibly Afghanistan as well if 9/11 conspiracy theories are right about government involvement. Either way, it's hard to get on one's high horse when we have been caught red handed doing almost the same thing. Now mind you, we didn't go right in as Putin did, but the end result is the same. Regardless, the second Putin started sabre rattling, the Russian economy went belly up. And the billionaires (and possibly even trillionaires) of the world basically got Putin to pull back, lest the countries economic situation fall of the map.

When money is involved, especially as Russia has more of the world's billionaires than anyone thanks to the free market, fascist state that exists there, I am positive they put immense pressure on him to toe the party line and quit grandstanding. That is the real power right now. Not Putin. Not Obama. It's the super-elites that now wield so much power and influence, they can effectively control governments.

It's one of the reasons why the TPP trade deal that Obama has such a hard on for is so dangerous because it would make corporations the new de-facto leaders of the planet. t would give them ultimate power over sovereign states. These would be dictators the likes of which we have never seen. The worst part is, even without this trade deal, they still have more power than anyone else on Earth. They may not have nukes, but they have something much, much worse. With a flick of their wrist they could kill the economy of any country of Earth. They could start a new Depression in a heartbeat and governments know it. It's why no one went to jail for the epic fail of 2008. It's why the rich can get away with anything, including murder. It's why we do not live in a democratic country anymore.

The Republicans and Democrats (not all but 99%) are making sure that none if that ever gets heard. However, the civil war between the Tea Party and the Republicans have shown how powerful Big Business really is. The Tea Party has done the classic overreach that results in an epic smackdown, we have now seen in the past five primaries held so far. In every case where the race was the establishment versus the Tea Party, the latter candidate was beaten badly by the corporate backed GOP candidate. In Texas this week, John Cornyn easily beat his Tea Party candidate. Unfortunately, with the win of Greg Abbot for governor and Dan Abbot for Lt governor looking like the nominee,(neither of whom had a real candidate against them) these two Tea Party retards make Ronald Reagan look like Gandhi. When will people wake up and realize the Tea Party is quite literally killing them. Wendy Davis ran unopposed for the left for Texas Governor and we all should pray that she wins.


Meanwhile, the GOP House is voting for the 50th time to repeal Obamacare, Darryl Issa is still holding hearings about the IRS which are going nowhere, Lindsey Graham is saying Benghazi is the reason for the Russian Ukrainian crap, and John McCain and other are demanding we invade Russia stat, somehow forgetting that the world's largest nuclear arsenal is pointing right at us. Corporations run the show on both sides of the aisle and unless we do something about it soon, we won't have the ability to stop it.

RUSSIA AND THE REPUBLICANS VIE FOR WHO CAN START WORLD WAR 3 FIRST. HAS THE WORLD LOST ITS MIND?

I would like to start off with a big shout out to my Ukrainian readers which has been much larger than I would have thought. Our prayers go out to you as the average guy is now caught between a rock and hard place there. Trust me, we know how you feel as does most of the Earth. How come a small group of idiots seem to be hell bent on world destruction while the majority of us just want to live in peace? You think most people in Syria give a rat's ass about the civil war? They would much rather be running their business as usual lives rather than be caught up in sectarian violence. But groups on both sides are killing indiscriminately and shows no signs of ending anytime soon. Ukrainians want democracy and are paying the ultimate price for it. In this country, we have people (Republicans) who must be retarded because there is simply no other explanation for the stupid things coming out of their mouths this week. Russia is being led by someone who thinks its the nineteenth century. When will this all stop?


Ukraine is the big story and none of it is good. Russia and China appear to joining forces as the latter has agreed with Russia over its apparent Ukrainian conquest, which is at odds with most everyone else. Russia has issued an ultimatum to give up in an unconditional surrender or face the wrath of the Russian military by 5 am Tuesday. Ukraine has reported that Russian forces are demanding the immediate surrender of two Ukrainian warships and are blockading them and a sub to prevent them from leaving. While Russia has said they have no plans to attack, I am not so sure.

The world has responded forcefully. Poland has moved troops and tanks to their border with Ukraine as European and American forces remain on high alert. The G8 summit set for Sochi has been indefinitely postponed and sanctions, bank freezes and other options remain on the table as well.

All of this has caused markets to drop like a stone with the Dow down over 200 point as of this writing. Russian stocks plunged 10% as the Ruble fell to record lows against the dollar. There is also the possibility the Russian energy may be banned in the EU which would cripple Russia if it happens, which at this point, seems highly likely. No good can come from this and the fact that China seems to be aligning against us seems dangerous.


China recently unveiled new nuclear missiles that have a range of 2,200 miles and capable of hitting forces in Guam causing the military to move equipment and personnel to counter the new threat. North Korea has fired even more missiles in a show of force as military games continue with South Korea and the US. If China gets involved, expect them to use North Korea as proxy weapons.

While all of this going on, here at home we have the stupidest human beings alive blasting Obama for not nuking Russia once and for all. Lindsey Graham takes the cake for blaming Obama for not attacking every time someone says BOO at us. Yes, his red line against Syria was stupid, however, he also killed Osama bin Laden and is using drones to bring death from the sky to lots of people who deserve it without endangering troops so it's not all bad. Graham says people "roll their eyes every time Obama threatens them," conveniently forgetting Obama's actions in Libya worked and all those dead terrorists who didn't get tickled to death. He then went on to say Obama was "a weak and indecisive president," which oddly enough was never said when Bush was in office and which describes him to a T. Cheney was the real power behind the throne as Bush did what he was told.


Sarah Palin is crowing about being right about Russia invading Ukraine but, let's face facts, she got lucky, considering nothing she has ever said in the past has ever come true. A broken clock is right twice a day I guess.

We need cool heads here and Obama is definitely that. It's the rest of the world that worries me. Thank God Romney wasn't President because if the GOP got its way, the world would be a smoking husk by now. We all better pray that Russia is all talk because the alternative may be a nuclear war.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: RUSSIA AND PUTIN

If someone told me last week it would be Russia threatening WW3, I'd have told you were nuts. This week, things have taken such a drastic turn, even Sarah Palin warned us about this in 2008. When she turns out to be right about anything, the world is headed for disaster. Let's see those runner ups.


1)The War on Weed- This has been another spectacular week when it comes to Reefer Madness propaganda against something we should have legalized years ago. This would have created good paying jobs, decrease our ever growing prison population and increased tax revenues into the billions. Instead, we have morons lying though their teeth about it. If I see one more study about pot use while driving has increased 300% over the years, I am going to shoot someone. Nevermind the fact that weed stays in your system for up to 30 days, driving while high has been proven to have no effect on driving skills as seen by several studies done in Holland and Germany. Speaking of Germany, this week doctors said weed killed two people in the country. The carefully avoided the fact that one had an undiagnosed heart problem that would have killed him regardless of what he did and the other was a raging alcoholic who also abused meth and cocaine. But in both cases it was weed that killed them. Right. My favorite story was the Maryland police department holding a press conference in which they said they were against weed legalization as it had already killed 37 people in Colorado. When reporters told them that the story they were referring to was written in a satirical site and was not true, they still refused to back down from their reasoning. That is some world class stupidity.

2)Spike Lee and other racists- As a white male, let me be the umpteenth person to say I have had it with racism. Not the still existing but frowned upon white racists, but the black and Hispanic racists who think it fine to call us cracker, honkey and lately "hipster," as slang for "I hate whitey." Spike Lee went off on the same kind of racist rant that got Paula Deen thrown out of polite society. He said he was pissed when white people entered his old neighborhood and made the place better. Oh the horror. He does have a point that these neighborhoods only got better when white people entered the neighborhood but that had little to do with race and everything to do with money. If black people actually started to get involved in with politics and education, they too could improve their areas. But if your going to do nothing but bitch about slavery which ended over a hundred and fifty years ago, you are not going to get far. Lee's childhood home was vandalized by some white guy (most likely as the culprit has yet to be caught) who has had it with the "woe is me, I'm black," nonsense. Likewise a friend went to a McDonalds on Airport Rd in Hartford, found the place dirty beyond words, got attitude from the manager about his race, most likely because he was white in the predominately Hispanic neighborhood and waited almost a half hour for his food in a nearly empty restaurant. He called corporate when he got home and I would guess that the manager got fired soon after as they do that a lot. But it was still racist to treat a white guy differently from the Hispanic customers. This has to stop, lest real racism from white people begins again. And white people, especially Republicans, do not think too highly of anyone that even seems illegal.


3)The Supreme Court- This week, the Supreme Court eliminated the fourth and sixth amendments while also giving Big Pharma legal protection form lawsuits over any adverse side-effects their drugs may give off. Now with the latter there is a reason for this as medications can have adverse effects that even they cannot predict and, if a vast majority of people can take it symptom free, then lawsuits shouldn't be allowed. However, this could also lead to big Pharma putting more dangerous drugs on  the market with little reason to worry as they can't be sued so that one is up in the air still. However, they also ruled that cops can do warrantless searches on your house and that government can seize your assets for just about anything, going so far as to even limit how you can pay for a lawyer when all you assets get seized over a petty theft charge. Awesome. As liberals also joined in the decisions, such as Kagan, our highest Court gets even more worthless. Can we please impeach the lot of these morons?

4)Diana Feinstein- One of the worst members of Congress strikes again this week when she got a twofer. First, she said all ex-military personnel are "mentally ill" and shouldn't be allowed to carry guns. Considering many are police officers, she may want to rethink that statement lest her security detail get "compromised" at some point. Yes, some should have their weapons taken away for severe cases of PTSD, but I know many, many current or ex-military and they are fine, sane people. This is grandstanding for no good reason. Then this bitch used another no-bid contract deal to get her husband a lucrative deal with a high speed rail line for CA which will net her millions. No conflict of interest there for one of the most corrupt members of  Congress.


5)Stupid gun owners- Some of you out there are really too stupid to own guns. Such is the case of an unidentified man in Michigan who shot himself in the head accidently. While blindly drunk, the man attempted a gun safety lesson for his wife in which he picked up three guns and fired each into his skull to show they weren't loaded. He guessed wrong on the third one which blew off his skull. That's funny and Darwinism in action.  Here are others that did the same thing from the Huffington Post:

In January 2013, 18-year-old Florida resident Alexander Xavier Shaw died doing a similar demonstration. Richard M. McLean, a 22-year-old from Michigan, died in a similar fashion in June 2012. Missouri resident James Looney, 40, was also teaching his girlfriend about gun safety when he shot himself in the head in September 2009.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, especially when it's all over your living room.

6)CT and gun laws- On the other end of the spectrum is CT who passed strict gun laws following the Newtown School tragedy. And like most laws passed in haste, this one sucks. How bad does you suck you ask? In enacting registrations and gun bans, the state police has said almost 90% of the public has failed to do anything. In other words, 90% of gun owners in CT are now felons. Swell. CT Police Spokesman Adolph Hitler, I mean Paul Vance, actually told residents that they face felony charges for non-compliance. When a woman named Ashley asked what they would do when thousands will not comply regardless of threats of law-breaking, Vance said " Ma'am, it sound like you are un-American, it sounds like you are anti-law. I am the Master here. I am the Master." Authoritarian talk does NOT go over well with gun owners who have responded by saying any police action will be met with lethal force. I know several people in militias in CT and let me tell you, they are not kidding. One group went so far as to threaten the police and sent out an email with the names and addresses of everyone who voted for this stupid law. Yet another law that criminalizes normal society while doing nothing to stop the crimes that cause said laws to be enacted in the first place. If these idiots go through with the idea of SWAT teams raiding houses, there is going to be a civil war so fast it will make your head spin. This is one of the most dangerous things going on anywhere, and that includes the Ukraine. This is the kind of actions that get people dead quick. I hope they think better of this.


7)Rex Tillerson- The CEO of Exxon/Mobil started a petition to stop fracking near his home. The irony is, this dick has no problem fracking everywhere else which his company concludes is completely safe. We all know it isn't. And this hypocrite should be forced to live, and drink water, in some area his company has fouled up. What a douche.

8)Republicans- For some unknown reason other than abject stupidity, the GOP is hammering Obama for not attacking Russia once and for all and starting WW3. I swear to God, that is all true. The right is pissed Obama is not acting more forcefully with Ukraine's invasion, conveniently forgetting that Russia has the world largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. Do the right wingers want Jesus back so bad they are willing to scorch the Earth for his return? For God's sake shut up before you get us all radioactive.


9)Russia- In a vain attempt to protect their shipping lanes, military bases and energy needs, Russia has decided invading Ukraine is the way to go about it. Putin has got to be one of the stupidest world leaders right now as he has singlehandedly started the doomsday clock in a head-on confrontation with the West. This will lead to further determination between the US and Russia which hasn't been that good as of late anyway. Shedding any goodwill from the Olympics, Putin is putting us on a crash course with each other that will not lead to good things. Most likely, we will see Ukraine split, ala Germany, which may make the pro-Russian sorry when their way of life goes bye bye for the fascist state they are aligning with. At least the US is still a proto-fascist state and could change. Russia will not anytime soon. So congratulation Putin, you are indeed douchebag of the week.
