Them daze is gone........Free Speech’s Shrinking Circle of Friends

Barry A. Fisher: Free Speech’s Shrinking Circle of Friends - WSJ:
"An essential freedom-of-speech paradigm was established in 1949 by the Supreme Court in Terminiello v. Chicago.
In that case a vitriolic, racist speaker spoke to an auditorium packed with supporters. Outside the auditorium was what was described as “ ‘a surging, howling mob hurling epithets’ at those who would enter and ‘tried to tear their clothes off.’ ”
The police blamed the mob’s action on the speaker, Arthur Terminiello, a Catholic priest under suspension by his bishop.
He was convicted of disturbing the peace and fined.
 The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, reversed the conviction and ruled that Terminiello’s speech was protected by the First Amendment.
The court said that the police, instead of taking action against the speaker, should have protected him and controlled the crowd..."

Yeah, big surprise.......Illegal Immigrant Families With Deportation Orders Go Missing

Illegal Immigrant Families With Deportation Orders Go Missing:
"Thousands of illegal immigrants who spilled into border states earlier this year have “disappeared” from government tracking, according to a recent investigation by a Houston TV station.
96 percent of the more than 4,100 families released on recognizance and ordered deported did not show up to court.
The wave of unaccompanied children and women illegally crossing into the United States between July and October was so large that Border Patrol had to release thousands on their own recognizance due to lack of detention space.
Now, many of those ordered to be deported “can’t be found,” says investigative reporter Robert Arnold.
The Obama administration has repeatedly reinforced these cases as a top priority, yet the Houston TV station found that only a sliver have been sent home."

The Most Outrageous Government Scam of 2014

The Most Outrageous Government Scam of 2014:

"The left loves to talk about “fairness” and “inequality,” but where the inequities really exist is in towns like Scranton. Middle-class private-sector workers pay higher and higher taxes to fund public-sector pensions that, as the Manhattan Institute has shown, are often twice as generous as what most workers will receive themselves. The money for supersized pensions isn’t going to come from millionaires and billionaires like Bill Gates or Warren Buffett. It is coming right out of the paychecks of working-class Americans."

WHITE COP KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED BY BLACK MEN- MEDIA SILENT!

WHITE COP KIDNAPPED AND MURDERED BY BLACK MEN- MEDIA SILENT!
To the media, all life doesn’t have the same value…

While the examination of the death of Michael Brown consumes newscasts, a dead white cop killed by black men has garnered scarcely any attention. The incident took place in Waynesboro, Va. Police Officer Kevin Quick, a member of the Waynesboro Police Department, was abducted by four African-American men. (H/T: Top Conservative News)

The men, who allegedly had ties with a Los Angeles-based gang, took Officer Quick to an ATM to withdraw money.
Quick was then driven to the forest and killed execution-style by the gang members.
It’s alleged that the motive for the killing was to allow the four suspects to move up in the gang hierarchy by proving their toughness.

The case received little to no attention until this weekend, when a letter to the editor in the Lowell (Mass.) Sun brought the case back into the internet spotlight.
“Nowhere in the national media was this murder of a police officer put to paper,” the letter read. 
“But when a white police officer shot a black man named Michael Brown in Missouri, it made the national news for months.” 
“What hypocrites the media has become. 
Where is the outrage for Quick?
Where are the beserk [sic] protesters burning and looting in the name of officer Quick?”

Happy Holidays: FDA Moves to Ban Cake, Donut 'Sprinkles'

Happy Holidays: FDA Moves to Ban Cake, Donut 'Sprinkles' - Breitbart:
"Early next year, the FDA is expected to finalize a new regulation intended to eradicate even trace amounts of partially hydrogenated oils, known as trans fats, from our diets.
Although the amount of trans fats Americans consume has declined significantly in recent years, the FDA’s quest to completely eliminate a particular type of trans fat threatens to eliminate the noble “sprinkle,” used to decorate holiday treats and donuts.
Even a small amount of joy is suspect in the FDA’s brave, new, food-monitored world.
In recent years, research has determined that consuming large amounts of trans fats is harmful to the heart.
Trans fats have been in the American diet since the 1950s, but recent awareness of its health risks have pushed food companies and restaurants to minimize its use.
Today, Americans consume just 1.3 grams of trans fats a day, around 0.6% of total caloric intake. 
No research has shown this level of consumption to pose any risk.
The proposed FDA action underscores the challenge of a permanent bureaucracy. "

Iran’s launch of ‘environment schools’ coincides with Obama’s ‘climate change’ education push

Iran’s launch of ‘environment schools’ coincides with Obama’s ‘climate change’ education push - EAGnews.org:
TEHRAN – Iran’s Department of Environment is setting up “environment schools” to better educate citizens on “global warming” and other environmental issues of concern to the government.
“DOE director for public education Mohammad Darvish said a number of movie directors, producers, Majlis legislators, and Friday Prayers leaders have been instructed with tips to help improve the public’s awareness about environmental issues,” the Tehran Times reports.
The goal is to “make the public more aware about environmental issues and ways to protect wildlife,” according to the news site.
The government hopes to make all elementary and middle school students aware of environmental issues within a twenty-year period, Darvish says.
Some 56,000 teachers will receive “training in environment protection,” as well, from the government.
Sixty schools around Iran will be converted into pilot environment schools for the next academic year.
A similar push is occurring in America.

How they "think"-----Stanford Dean for Religious Life claims churches should focus less on religion, more on art

Stanford Dean for Religious Life claims churches should focus less on religion, more on art - EAGnews.org:

"STANFORD, Calif. – The church needs to focus more on art and less on religion and converting people in an effort to become less “churchy,” according to Stanford University’s Dean for Religious Life, The Very Reverend Dr. Jane Shaw.
“I think people are always slightly surprised that I’m not very churchy as a person,” Shaw told the Palo Alto Online in an interview.
“I don’t think church is to be more churchy.
I think church is about, anyone should be welcome.
I’m really interested in how you welcome many different kind of constituencies, certainly not convert them, not even necessarily to do religion all the time.”"

"It has long been suspected that the original intent for the program was to run guns into Mexico which could then be traced back to the FFL’s in Phoenix and other neighboring cities.

The amount of attacks on our second amendment have become so frequent, causing almost every shooting incident in America to be met with conspiratorial questions, with good reason.

Fairy Tales of Diversity :: SteynOnline

Fairy Tales of Diversity :: SteynOnline
The notion of "approved" news goes back a long way. If you've read A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain, you'll recall that Hank Morgan, the eponymous time-travelling New Englander, was much taken by the Court Circular published each week in Camelot:

On Monday, the King rode in the park.

" Tuesday, " " " " " "

" Wednesday, " " " " " "

" Thursday, " " " " " "

" Friday, " " " " " "

" Saturday, " " " " " "

" Sunday, " " " " " "

But at least the King did, in fact, ride in the park. In today's world, it is no longer necessary for the event so described actually to occur for it to be reported as a remarkable, newsworthy event. Here, for example, is CBS Los Angeles reporting on the city's Kwanzaa parade:

The 38th annual KwanZaa Gwaride parade made its way down Crenshaw Boulevard Friday, marking the start of the seven-day festival of Kwanzaa.

The gwaride, which is the Swahili word for parade, brought together members of L.A.'s African-American community as they turn their focus on "Nguzo Saba," the Seven Principles behind Kwanzaa...

Er, not really. The scene above can't really be described as a "parade" - in English, Swahili, or anything else. "Gwaride" would seem to be Swahili for "vast empty plain with nary a solitary antelope for company". And the only members of LA's African-American community "brought together" by the event appear to be two pedestrians who were out for a stroll anyway.

The only very modest bit of news here is that, even in the heart of south Los Angeles, Kwanzaa is too boring and fraudulent for all but the most gung ho of identity-group hucksters. Which would be mildly interesting to know, and has the additional merit of being true. But you can't say that on CBS. You can't report the truth on CBS. So instead reality has to be brought into line with the diversity myths.

That's the purpose of "news" as social engineering. The great, messy, contradictory, complexities of reality have to be streamlined and organized into the half-a-dozen approved narratives of the age. At its most absurd, you wind up with "Jackie", the "victim" of the University of Virginia "gang" "rape", to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for having the courage to come forward and raise awareness by "pulling back the curtain on rape" - even if behind the pulled-back curtain there was no actual rape going on. But the CBS Kwanzaa "report" reminds us that the same philosophy determines a thousand lesser stories every day of the week.

~On Monday, Jackie and the massed ranks of campus gang-rape victims rode through the park. On Tuesday, the spectacular Kwanzaa parade rode through the park. On Wednesday, the Religion of Peace rode through the park pursued by gangs of all-American bigots and haters. In between their delirious Kwanzaa observances, the California media also found time to report on a Yuletide attack on an American mosque - yet more grim evidence that Islamophobia is rampaging out of control:

A vandalism attack on the Islamic Cultural Center of Fresno on Christmas Day was immediately branded by Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer as a "hate crime," and the "Islamophobia" grievance industry began to gear up in response.

Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt

Media Nearly Silent After NC Cop Thwarts NYPD-Style Assassination Attempt - Bearing Arms:
"A Durham, NC police officer sitting in a parked car saved his own life Thursday night by catching the approach of two men in his squad car’s rear-view mirror.
The officer exited his vehicle to confront the pair, when one of the would-be assassins opened fire without saying a word:
A Durham police officer dove for cover Thursday night after a man walked up and began shooting at him, police said Friday.
The incident happened about 10 p.m. on Lakeland Street, just north of Truman Street.
Police said Officer J.T. West was sitting in his patrol car, working on a report, when he saw two men approaching his car from behind.
As West got out of the car to speak to them, one of the men pulled out a gun and began firing, police said. 
The man fired six shots at West, striking the patrol car once.
West fired two rounds in return. Police said it wasn’t known if West wounded either of the men.
West injured his wrist when he dove behind a staircase at a vacant apartment building at 1414 Lakeland St. He was treated at a nearby hospital and released.
Police said West and the men, who ran from the scene, never exchanged words.
The attempted assassination mimicked the tactics used to murder NYPD officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu on December 20."

Why We Isolated Cuba for 53 Years

Why We Isolated Cuba for 53 Years
Contrary to what President Obama has asserted, U.S. sanctions have worked. Communist Cuba is so economically weak it cannot export Marxism-Leninism as in the past, and pro-democracy advocates have become emboldened.

For more than five decades, presidents, Democratic and Republican, politically isolated and economically sanctioned Communist Cuba for the best of reasons. Here are four of them:

1. Cuba has been a communist prison since Fidel Castro came to power. From 1959 through the late 1990s, more than 100,000 Cubans were placed in forced labor camps, prisons and other places of incarceration. Between 15,000 and 17,000 people were shot. Castro justified his reign of terror with these words: “The revolution is all; everything else is nothing.”
2. Communist Cuba exported Marxism-Leninism throughout Latin America, in Colombia, Guatemala, Venezuela and especially Nicaragua, which was taken over by the Marxist Sandinistas in the late 1970s. Another target was the small island nation of Grenada, which was to function as the third leg of a communist triangle of Cuba, Grenada and Nicaragua. President Reagan foiled the communists’ plans by freeing Grenada from a pro-Moscow radical regime. As a Venezuelan communist leader explained, the Cuban revolution was like a “detonator.”
3. Communist Cuba often provided the ground troops for the Soviet Union’s strategy of inciting Third World revolution, especially in Africa. From 1975 to 1989, according to “The Black Book of Communism,” Cuba was the major supporter of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola. Castro sent an expeditionary force of 50,000 men to Angola, explaining in part why for decades Moscow propped up the Castro regime in the amount of $5 billion a year.
4. Communist Cuba brought the world to the brink of nuclear war in 1962 when it allowed the Soviet Union to build sites for offensive nuclear missiles aimed at major cities in the United States. Castro knew what he was doing: Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev has said that Castro requested a Soviet nuclear attack on the United States.

"DEFENCES on the Falklands are being reviewed after it emerged Russia plans to offer Argentina long-range bombers."
The aircraft, which Moscow will swap for beef and wheat, would be able to mount air patrols over Port Stanley.
Ministry of Defence officials fear Buenos Aires would take delivery of the planes well before the deployment in 2020 of the Navy’s 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth and its F-35B fighters, leaving a “real window of vulnerability”. 
Defence cuts have left the Falklands with just four RAF Typhoon fighters,  Rapier surface-to-air missiles and fewer than 1,200 troops, supported by a naval warship that visits throughout the year.

Illegal drugs and prostitution prop up British economy

Illegal drugs and prostitution prop up British economy:
"It seems that the United Kingdom is desperate enough to show growth that it has abandoned any notion of pride.
In the latest measuring of world economies England managed to edge past long-time rival France to become the world’s 5th largest economy.
According to the UK’s Telegraph.co.uk, the change in status came after “a shake-up of national accounts this summer.” 
They also note that the UK now includes illegal drug use and prostitution as economic factors which is apparently a rule of the European Union. 
According to official estimates, prostitution added 5.7 billion pounds to the UK economy in 2013.
At the same time, illegal drugs added another 6.62 billion pounds or 8.87 billion dollars and 10.3 billion dollars respectively.
According to Zerohedge.com, the inclusion of this data shows just how prevalent it is in the UK. While tobacco and wine are the clear favorite intoxicants, wine is closely followed by illegal drugs and both eclipse liquor and beer.
The people of the United Kingdom now spend more money on illegal drugs and prostitution (when the numbers are combined) than they do on shoes, dairy products, and vegetables. 
They only spent a slight amount more on household furnishings and electricity.
To make matters worse, the prostitution figures don’t include male prostitutes, which evidently make up 42 percent of sex workers in the UK. 
If those numbers were added, they very well could surpass what people in the UK spend on electricity or gas.
