Alex Jones Claims The Government Steered the Oklahoma Tornado To A Densely Populated Area

 
Does anyone need more proof that this man is whacked?


Maddow Hammers ‘Crack Pot’ Alex Jones’ Oklahoma Tornado ‘Weather Weapon’ Conspiracy Theory
Pointing to Jones’ attempts to prove that everything from the Newtown shooting to the Boston bombing to 9/11 were staged by the government, Maddow said the InfoWars world sees conspiracy in “every tragedy.” So is it really that much of a surprise that they now conspiracy in the Oklahoma tornado?
Maddow played a clip of Jones saying of Monday’s tornado, “I don’t know if this was a weather weapon or not,” suggesting that the government has the ability “create and steer groups of tornadoes.”
“Alex Jones should be disqualified from participating in Republican Party politics,” Maddow said. “He crack pot theories shouldn’t prompt hearings in Congress and inspire actual legislation.” She urged Republicans to stop taking Jones seriously and stop appearing on his radio show. “Can we agree that it’s over now, Republicans?” MORE HERE: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maddow-hammers-crack-pot-alex-jones-oklahoma-tornado-weather-weapon-conspiracy-theory/

Impeachment? It's Silly, So Says 'Severely' Conservative, George Will

I have to admit, I never did like George Will, his case of
'Severely' Conservative, just plain stuck in my Craw.

Possessing a Liberal Soul is truly a gift but it does have its
drawbacks, as in not wanting to see or hear any of the
mindsets on the opposite side. But by being and thinking
Liberal, the annoying things uttered by Conservatives sometime
Do penetrate my psyche when they Do make sense. (albeit
rarely)

Hence George Will, one of the grownups of the Republican
Party who seldom is heard these days. What we get instead is
the imbecilic crazy-talk from the Tea Party leaders who feel no
shame or embarrassment about shouting from the rooftops
their ideas that lack, (majorly lack) Common Sense.

(Impeachment Talk) "That’s silly. And it is possible to go too
far." Will announced.

Good show George! But of course, he had to throw some water
on his accurate statement like the good severely conservative
fellow that his is... "But Republicans perhaps cannot be blamed
for saying a crisis is a terrible thing to waste. And there’s a
crisis of confidence and they are the political party that exists
to say that government is necessary but always is a danger."

OK George then answer me this, WHAT ABOUT THE TEA PARTY
MOVEMENT (you know the movement that resembles Bowel)?

Tea Party movement tends to be anti-government, anti-spending, anti-Obama, anti-tax, nationalistic, in favor of strict immigration legislation and against compromise politics. Since the 2012 elections, many local Tea Party factions have shifted their focus to state nullification of the health care law, and protesting the United Nations Agenda 21. The Tea Party is skeptical towards the courts, shows a commitment to individualism and takes an originalist view in constitutional interpretation. The Tea Party is opposed to the bailouts, stimulus packages, and has expressed an interest in repealing the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments. It is also in favor of amending the Constitution to grant states the right to veto federal laws. It is known as the Repeal Amendment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement#cite_note-27

Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. It is a product of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. The "21" in Agenda 21 refers to the 21st century. It has been affirmed and modified at subsequent UN conferences. http://www.ask.com/wiki/Agenda_21
---
Agend 21, according to Glenn Beck: A violent and tyrannical government rules what was once known as America. The old, the ill, and the defiant all quickly vanish. Babies belong to the state. Against all odds, one young couple risks everything to expose the truth. But are they too late? Just a generation ago, this place was called America. Now, after the worldwide implementation of a UN-led program called Agenda 21, it’s simply known as “the Republic.” There is no president. No Congress. No Supreme Court. No freedom. There are only the Authorities. http://www.glennbeck.com/agenda21/

The 16th amendment gave the US the right to collect an income tax. The more money you make the more you are taxed. The largest amount anyone is taxed is 15% (Bill Gates rich people) This money goes to the federal government.

The 17th amendment is direct election of senators. Before this point senators who were going to run were chosen by the leader of the polictical group, and could choose for whatever reasons he wanted (like he liked person B best, not because person B would be the best) After this amendment voters regestered if they were democrat or depublic and then voted for the senators they wanted to run in their group...

Repeal Amendment: Nullification, in United States constitutional history, is a legal theory that a state has the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that state has deemed unconstitutional. The theory of nullification has never been legally upheld;[1] rather, the Supreme Court has rejected it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullification_%28U.S._Constitution%29

OMG, GOP Tea Party Cretins Jump The Shark! And The Couch!

"The House of Representatives is run by people who care little for We-The-People..."



The GOP Tea Party cretins are just too damn busy these days playing GOTCHA with President Obama...

Reality Check – The Face of War

THE FACE OF WAR - Too fast our leaders (Like Big Dick Cheney and Little W. Bush) send our young off to war, whether it’s a war they dub necessary or an unjust war (i.e. Iraq)... The middle face in this picture tells you what WAR really looks like and I am sure the civilians who find themselves in the middle of a war that someone has thrust upon them (Like Big Dick Cheney and Little W. Bush) have a similar expression. thinkingblue

Republican Sociopaths' Profile

We live in a country that is constantly at war with itself. No, not the kind of war as in Civil War, although it sometime seems that the Republicans would be OK with that; right now it is only in the bullying stage. The Republican Party has bullied its way to power on numerous occasions. Richard Nixon believed “the end justifies the means” that whatever measures you have to take to achieve something it’s worth it, for the Republicans this means achieving dominance. This is happening because the GOP has been taken over by Sociopaths; the adults of the party have given up and allowed the juveniles to rule. Anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Sociopaths eventually comes to learn some basic facts.
1. YOU CANNOT REASON WITH THEM - The debt crisis nonsense highlighted this first point.  There was nothing which President Obama or Dems could possibly have offered Tea Party Republicans that would have satisfied them.  Sociopaths adopt a righteous stance and no degree of fact or logic could dislodge them from their beliefs.
2. THEY PLAY THE VICTIM CARD - Stand up to a sociopath and call them out on their actions and they instantly cry foul.  When Vice President Biden accurately compared Tea Party negotiator’s tactics to those of a terrorist, the right-wing freaked out.  Case in point was Sarah Palin who called Biden’s remark “vile” and “quite appalling”.  Yes, that’s the same Sarah Palin who is fond of making the claim that the President of the U. S. “pals around with terrorists”.
3. PSYCHOLOGICAL PROJECTION - Is a form of defense mechanism in which someone attributes thoughts, feelings, and ideas which are perceived as undesirable to someone else.  Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires materialize without letting the conscious mind recognize them. Perfect example was how the Republicans ‘lusted’ to impeach Bill Clinton over a sexual indiscretion, when many in their party had a closet full of sexual indiscretions or worse.
This undermines the strength of a country but that doesn’t matter to the Republican Sociopaths because their intrinsic nature is to care only about themselves. At this moment, I have to ask: WHY? Why are they allowed to carry on in this way, when we all know that if they succeed in their quest to achieve Absolute Power our country will not survive in the long term, little by little they will dismantle it (they have already weakened it quite a bit during the Bush/Cheney years) until its dominance on the world stage will resemble that of sub-Saharan Africa. OK, this may look like an over statement but the USA will suffer many years to come if something isn't done to stop these Republican Sociopaths from gaining more power. thinkingblue
Profile of a Narcissistic Sociopath – Charming, Manipulative, Grandiose, Lying, Authoritarian, Secretive, Divisive…

Think you can spot a sociopath/psychopath? Think again.

According to experts, this behavior affects 3% to 5% of the population, which could mean more than15 million people in the USA with these characteristics, or up to 1 in 20 people – higher percentages than one might realize.

Sociopath-imageIn general, psychopaths come from all walks of life. They’re our friends, lovers, co-workers and leaders. They’re outgoing and persuasive, dazzling you with charm and flattery. Knowing the profile characteristics might help you to avoid being scammed or hurt by someone you trust. Or, you might already be in a situation and are confused by the others behavior. Be aware of the characteristics. Be smart.
What is a narcissistic sociopath?

A narcissistic sociopath is someone with a combination of narcissistic personality disorder and definitive behavioral signs of sociopathy.

People with narcissism are characterized by their excessive and persistent need for others’ admiration and positive reinforcement. They generally have grandiose opinions of themselves and believe they are superior to other people. Narcissists are also frequently convinced that they are above the normal responsibilities and obligations of everyday life, so they usually have significant difficulties maintaining employment or relationships as a result.

The narcissistic sociopath has this type of personality along with a noticeable lack of regard for the rights of others and a tendency to regularly violate those rights.

One noted difference between a narcissistic sociopath and people with narcissism alone is that:

The narcissist with the sociopathy reacts strongly and sometimes even violently to negative feedback. True sociopaths generally do not respond to criticism or care what others may think of them.
A narcissistic sociopath is unable to tolerate criticism and needs constant praise, as well as deference from other people. Many with this condition present themselves in the best light possible and are able to easily charm others to gain their trust.

USA Leads Industrialized Countries In 1st Day Deaths for Newborns

Republicans are at war, in oh so many ways but especially with women and the poor which is partly the reason why the USA ranks low for newborn survival. They clamor on and on about wanting to make safe abortions illegal, (while also trying to do away with Planned Parenthood) they call themselves Pro-life, yet their visible attitudes towards vulnerable human beings, (living and breathing on their own) is blasé and anything but pro-life. One could almost deduce from their actions that they actually want women to suffer by forcing them to carry their unwanted pregnancy to term, (and for poor women, without prenatal care) endure a life threatening experience and suffer again when the newborn dies shortly after birth. 

I know the GOP is heartless but that's just too hateful even for them (or is it?)

 The richest country in the world and we rank 30th out of 176 countries regarding infant mortality, (which translates in the lack of respect for its female population) is repulsive. So what else is new? thinkingblue
Excerpt: While the recommendations are simple and cheap, they’re often not implemented in developing countries. The report blames that, in part, on a lack of political will by government leaders.
The State of the World’s Mothers report lists Finland as the top country for mothers and newborns. It’s followed by Sweden, Norway, Iceland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Australia. The top 10 are credited with high levels of support and respect for women.
As for the United States, Miles said, “The U.S. comes in 30 in the index this year. So that is not terrific, I would say. Thirtieth is not where I think most American women and mothers think they would end up. The disparity in the United States I think is what really drives the differences. So it is very much tracked to poverty.”
In fact, the United States leads industrialized countries in first day deaths for newborns, followed by Canada and Switzerland.
As for the major emerging economies – the so-called BRICS nations – the 2013 Mother’s Index ranks Brazil 78th and Russia 59th.  India is in the 142nd position, while China is 68th and South Africa 78th.

U.S. ranks low for newborn survival
Babies born in Cuba, Malaysia, Portugal, and the United Kingdom have a better chance of surviving the first month compared to those born in the United States, according to researchers at the World Health Organization and Save the Children.

In a 20 year analysis of newborn death rates around the world, the study published in PLoS Medicine revealed the number of infants who die before they are 4 weeks old account for 41% of child deaths worldwide. Newborn deaths in the United States ranked 41 out of 45 among industrialized countries, on par with Qatar and Croatia.

America's low ranking among modern nations may come as surprise to many who regard the U.S. health care system as the best in the world. Researchers say preterm delivery (delivering before 37 weeks) plays a role in the United State's lower ranking.

“Prenatal care is not all created equal. There are areas of the United States where access to prenatal and preventive care is a real problem. It puts the mother at a disadvantage and contributes to premature births and death rate,” says the study’s author Dr. Joy Lawn of the non-government organization Save the Children.

An Open Letter To A Very Disturbed Person NRA's Lapierre


Ending sentences that say it all:
For all your talk about defending liberty Wayne, I'll give you something more important to defend: the young children whose lives always seem to take a back seat to how many guns you can get Americans to buy. I'm talking about children at Sandy Hook, a 4-year-old in New York, a 2-year-old in Kentucky. There's something immoral about denying any connection between the deaths of children and the explosion in gun sales that you claim show how much we love our freedom. I'd rather have those kids alive, even if it costs me more than a few bucks in gun sales. MORE HERE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-weisser/open-letter-to-wayne-lapi_b_3219807.html

Tea Party and NRA's Victory Dance On The Graves Of Gun Violence Victims


The National Rifle Association kicked off its annual convention Friday with a warning to its members they are engaged in a "culture war" that stretches beyond gun rights, further ramping up emotions surrounding the gun control debate.

NRA First Vice President James Porter, a Birmingham, Ala., attorney who will assume the organization's presidency Monday, issued a full-throated challenge to President Barack Obama in the wake of a major victory regarding gun control and called on members to dig in for a long fight that will stretch into the 2014 elections.

More than 70,000 NRA members are expected to attend the three-day convention amid the backdrop of the national debate over gun control and the defeat of a U.S. Senate bill introduced after December's mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. A small gathering of gun control supporters were outside of the convention in Houston.

Enlightenment Led To The Holocaust

So Says Penny Nance
This is UNBELIEVABLE, to say the least. The religious-right-wing has become the most preposterous purveyors of absolute lunacy and they keep getting more deranged and out-&-out silly with each passing day (minute). We seem to think that their outrageousness means nothing and will not hurt anyone but their senselessness is reaching a point where it is starting to sound menacing. This woman, Penny Nance’s prattle that ‘Reason’ led to one of the most horrific crimes of any century is not only monstrous, it's unsubstantial (putting it extremely mild)! Who is she preaching to?  Fox News has become synonymous with WHACKO and it’s about time, someone (maybe with some power) tells them so. Their viewers (America) deserve so much more. thinkingblue

 WHAT EXACTLY IS MORAL RELATIVISM?
What a difficult subject to research, any so called answers you come across are subjective and quite personal to each person or oganization who tries to explain (objectively) exactly what is meant by Moral Relativism. I had a very hard time trying to pick the one that suited ME for Pity’s Sake. I finally decided on this one (below) although ME, MYSELF and I, still have problems with it.
What is relativism?
Archbishop Piero Marini closes the door of the Sistine Chapel for the conclave… There was no way in for moral relativism at conclave…
Shortly before he was elected pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger delivered a withering denunciation of relativism. For those unfamiliar with even the blunter points of philosophy, what was he driving at?
Moral relativism is the idea that moral principles have no objective standard, so states its dictionary definition.
In its extreme, the view that there are no hard and fast rules on what is right and wrong, on which values are set and should be fought for.
It is in contrast to absolutism, that there is one truth.
One man's meat...
Relativism is "Different opinions, no one authority, and as many 'truths' as there are people or societies or cultures advancing different ways of doing things," says Simon Blackburn, Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University.
It is easy, he says, "to give relativism a slogan: Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. One man's meat is another man's poison." And when that is applied to ethics, then goodness, virtue and duty also lie in the eye of the beholder. MORE HERE: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4460673.stm
Richard Dawkins’ Ten Commandments, from his book The God Delusion, is the credo I like best. thinkingblue

  1. Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.
  2. In all things, strive to cause no harm.
  3. Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.
  4. Do not overlook evil or shrink from administering justice, but always be ready to forgive wrongdoing freely admitted and honestly regretted.
  5. Live life with a sense of joy and wonder.
  6. Always seek to be learning something new.
  7. Test all things; always check your ideas against the facts, and be ready to discard even a cherished belief if it does not conform to them.
  8. Never seek to censor or cut yourself off from dissent; always respect the right of others to disagree with you.
  9. Form independent opinions on the basis of your own reason and experience; do not allow yourself to be led blindly by others.
  10. Question everything.
PS: I wish Penny Nance would read these commandments as well as her ilk, there at Fox News. They could possibly learn what being NICE is all about.

Coming Out Of The Closet To Higher Consciousness

Today I came across another Facebook, A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS, and as usual, some of the comments piqued my curiosity as to why so many people haven’t cracked the door (even minuscule) on higher consciousness. So I went about searching Google using different search words to come across some enlightenment (even minuscule) to answer this particular “WHY”. My mental travels across the vast internet brought me to a site that discussed non-human consciousness, in reading the examples put forth by the writer, I laughed to myself thinking… OF COURSE, non-humans possess consciousness and higher, didn’t we all travel the byway of evolution and because of different forks in the road, end up where we are today, ME PEOPLE, YOU COW! So with this perception in hand I wrote on the Facebook membership page (The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (Official) https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsFoundation) the below (minuscule higher consciousness) thoughts. Thinkingblue
Many people living in the USA, thanks to indoctrination by corporate church, corporate politicians and by corporations in general (via propaganda) are frightened of many things but mainly of death. It is a pity because death is a part of birth, yet fear of it turns people inhuman. If we could all tap into a higher consciousness which both human and non-human beings possess, the charlatans around us would not have a ‘snowballs chance in hell’ to take over and control our thinking minds. Let me reiterate TIS A PITY! So ‘in the closet’, of whatever (scared to DEATH and of it) too many of us, will remain. Here’s a link to help one find the threshold to a higher consciousness. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-stevens/animal-consciousness_b_1857667.html thinkingblue

Brain Researchers Acknowledge Animal Consciousness by Kathy Stevens http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-stevens/animal-consciousness_b_1857667.html
Last week, an international group of brain researchers released the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness. The document declared the group's data-driven consensus that most animals are conscious and aware in the same way that humans are, and confirmed that virtually all animals have at least some degree of sentience -- even bees, according to Christof Koch in his Huffington Post blog, "Consciousness is Everywhere."
It boggles my mind that this stuff isn't headline news. Here's what's headline-worthy: 1) why science is so far behind the rest of us 2) how human animals treat non-human animals, given that plenty of us know that human or non-human, animals are essentially the same in ways that matter.
What would the world's reaction be if the New York Times' lead story tomorrow were "Chickens Understand That Their Throats are About to Be Slit" or "Horrific Confinement and Deprivation Feels Same to Pigs as It Does to Humans"?
Take a look at what we witness at Catskill Animal Sanctuary:
1) It was time to euthanize an old steer named Samson. I had rescued him from a horrid hoarding situation; he and I had been special friends; he was no longer able to stand. Many of the humans who had loved him surrounded him, rubbing his massive body, singing. I sat at his head, and as he was falling asleep from the tranquilizer (the first step in a two-part process), Samson licked my face over and over -- thirty times, perhaps? -- until he could no longer hold his head up. My unscientific view? He was saying goodbye, saying thank you, and saying he loved me.
2) A hen named Barbie and a sheep named Rambo had a special relationship. Barbie loved to rest on top of Rambo's back or cuddle up next to him in a pile of hay. When Barbie returned to the barn after a 2-week illness-related isolation period, she walked out into the long barn aisle, glanced around, walked past the free-range chickens, past the humans, right up to Rambo, who was resting in the aisle, and pressed her big bird body right up against his. He turned his head, and gently nuzzled her back. There were dozens of moments like this between Rambo and Barbie. For me, that single one was "proof" of their affection.
3) A former cockfighting rooster named Paulie nearly always chose to eat lunch with staff. A staffer named Alex always brought a small bag of sunflower seeds, and after he shared some once or twice with Paulie, the bird began walking immediately to Alex. If Alex didn't immediately produce the seeds, Paulie pecked Alex's leg, looked up at Alex, pecked again. If Alex STILL didn't deliver the goods, Paulie became irate, squawking and flapping his wings, unwilling to accept no for an answer. MORE HERE
