‘…We are getting into Galileo territory, punishing dissent from a flawed orthodoxy.  So far, nobody has advocated execution, but that can’t be far off.’

‘..More people are switching from smartphones to dumb phones, which are cheaper, sturdier and have longer-lasting batteries. Vintage-looking mobiles, such as flip or clamshell phones, are particularly popular…’
Wabbit must be a trendsetter.  And Gecko’s new flip-phone cost just $30, delivered. It’s tough as nails and the battery lasts at least three times as long as the smartphone she’s about to throw in the garbage. Ditto my ‘phone.

Global warming? Forget cold hard facts
I can’t be bothered pulling this propagandist tripe apart.

‘Gay rights activists to Christians — surrender, or else
‘A few years ago I hosted gay activist attorney Andrea Ritchie on my radio program and asked her whether she believed the homosexual lobby could peacefully coexist with traditional Christian morality. After a very pregnant pause, she responded pointedly: “Sure, if Christians will give up their resistance to our cause.”
Today, in the midst of the inane opposition to the Indiana religious freedom bill, her alarming words prove frighteningly prophetic.
Let’s be clear what we are witnessing. Seeking to harness the power of the state to deny the rights of conscience to those who disagree with you – as the opponents of Senate Bill 101 are surely attempting to do – is a frightening appeal to a 21st century reincarnation of fascism: “Believe like us, think like us, embrace our views or be fined, fired, evicted or punished by the state.”…’
Way to go, you evil assholes. Perhaps you’ll apologise to your peaceful and decent fellow homosexuals when there’s a backlash against you bastards?
Thought not – you’ll just spin it as further proof of “intolerance”.
Like most people, I have no interest whatsoever in the sex lives of others, but I draw the line at having legitimate opinions and choices criminalised in order to force me to pretend that homosexuality is somehow “normal”. It isn’t and I’m damned if the law – any law – is going to stop me saying so.

‘US Declassifies Document Revealing Israel’s Nuclear Program
…Another highly suspicious aspect of the document is that while the Pentagon saw fit to declassify sections on Israel’s sensitive nuclear program, it kept sections on Italy, France, West Germany and other NATO countries classified, with those sections blocked out in the document….’
I’d like to think that this is an attempt by the Pentagon to discredit the Undocumented President, but more likely it’s brass lapdogs doing the Administration’s bidding.

Even if you don’t realize that yet:
‘The Old Man and the Sea of Black Mob Violence

They didn’t count on the Old White Dude with a bat.  But now the man who defended a white family from a black mob is being charged with assault.
…For psychologist Marlin Newburn, this racial violence and denial all have a familiar – and disturbing – ring.
“The worst elements of the black community, and those that use them for power and profit, now know they have widespread (and mindless) support and defense for whatever violence they feel the impulse to commit,” Newburn said…’

‘MINING billionaire Gina Rinehart has stepped up her criticism of governments for imposing too many costs on the mining sector amid a commodity price downturn.
…Ms Rinehart’s $US10 billion ($A13.19 billion) Roy Hill iron ore project, which is 76 per cent complete and is expected to begin shipping exports in six months, has had to satisfy more than 4,000 regulations and approvals, she said.’
Yesterday, Wabbit was talking to one of two guys who were clearing trees from powerlines on the road outside where we live. The worker was moaning about all the health and safety bullshit they were subject to and I mentioned that I was going to climb a tree and cut away some branches inside the property. He was horrified, and said “I didn’t hear that”.
What a profoundly depressing response, from a brainwashed adult..
The bureaucrats have us by the balls, folks and they are our real masters.

Obama talks tough on Israel
‘US President Obama says preserving America’s credibility requires re-evaluating the US stance on Mideast peace talks.’
What would do most to “preserve America’s credibility” would be for We The People –  armed with pitchforks and torches – to storm the White House and remove the pretender and his shady ex-lawyer wife. Throw the Iranian Jarret thing out for good measure.

‘Corruption survey a shock for NZ’
It’s only a shock for the uninformed. Something encouraged by a supine, partisan,lazy and cowardly media. And it’s far worse and more widespread than this report suggests.
