Shootings, Psychos, And Pre Packaged Hate

A Russian fighter jet was shot down by a NATO plane over Turkey yesterday.  And when the Russians sent out a hilocopter to search for the two pilots who may have safely ejected, that hilocopter was shot down by “friendly”, US backed rebels.  Some are saying that talk of World War III is getting heavy play in twitter now.  I don’t know about that but there are trying to “talk the tension down” by both sides telling the other side not to do anything rash.  It’s also said that Putin is a lot more bellicose before a domestic audience in Russia than the official face he is showing the rest of the world.

I believe one should not approach things with bias.  I've stopped listening to Shawn Hannity because he lies about everything.  He plays little "tapes" in his own mind and reinterperits every event in terms of his pre-wired political agenda.  I don't like bias on the left or the right.  For instance, Norman Goldman was a jerk to that caller from Louisiana who praised the Democrat who was just elected governor of LA.  Norman was trying to manufacture differences between his own oppinion of that Democratic victor of the election, and the caller's oppinion.   It didn’t dawn on me till just then that Bobby Jindel won’t be governor any more so that guy is through with running for high office and through as a failed governor.  But Goldman states that Brownback’s numbers are worse, down in the low twenties.  Jindel’s numbers are in the thirties in popularity. 

This caller on Thom Hartman this morning is someone whom I’d like to contrast with yesterday’s N G caller.   Thom Hartman let the guy talk and speak his peace and didn’t interrupt.  The caller says that liberals “give Black people a justification to fail” as though they are actually encouraging them to “fail” to somehow get in the “in crowd” of progressives or something.  Of course Hartman points out more white people are on welfare than Blacks.  The guy then said that our side is – instructing Blacks to hate all white cops, as though if you lived in Ferguson you had to be TOLD to hate white cops.  He then said Officer Wilson was doing his job when he gunned down a black man who was turning around and putting his hands up and surrendering.  I’m tempted to say “It’s the forensics, stupid”.   There was none of Brown’s DNA or fingerprints on the gun.  The car door was never open as all the early reports implied.  And it wasn’t a case of Wilson being like Faye Ray in the hands of King Kong since Wilson was 6 ft 3 and not some helpless pawn cowering before a suspect.  We won’t even mention the demonic look in the eyes or this allegation that Brown gave a black power salute and was “tugging at his waist band”.   People who listen to FOX news aren’t merely misinformed but are actively disinformed.  They should call FOX the Joseph Gobles Network.  It was Gobles who said that you tell a few simple lies and repeat them endlessly.  After a while- - some psychologists claim you get into an almost hypnotic trance because these people are feeding your intrinsic hates and fears almost like an addict being serviced.

Contraversial bullets:  Thom often tells this story about Black Panthers like Hewey Newton and others carrying cuns and patrolling the streets of the State Capitol, and Reagan saw this and within a week (he says) the state legislation rushed strong anti gun legislation to Reagan’s desk to sign.  The latest Donald Trump statement is that “Eighty percent of white people who are murdered were shot by Black people” when the actual figure is fourteen percent.   And we all know that virtually all of these mass shooter psychopaths are white and not Black.   “Racism has been used to divide the races for centuries- - - for White Capitalist exploits”.   White men  fear Black men because as members of the “small penis club” they know if their girlfriend fools around with a Black man he will know it immediately when a black baby pops out - - whereas if she gave birth to his friend’s white back, there’d be some face saving.   House of Representative staffers by law have no “Whistle Blower protection”.

There is a police shooting where one guy on drugs was shot sixteen times in eighteen seconds.  I’m not saying “Hate white officers” but I think certain shooting incidents demand a value judgement.  The officer couldn’t find a taser, so - - .  The fellow officers didn’t come forward after that shooting.  There were eight officers at the scene but as you know the worst officer on the force defines the standards of the entire police force.  Rather than identify with the best, exemplary officers, they identify with the worst.  One caller on WCPT suggest that the video of the event shouldn’t be aired because “The officer could lose his job over it”.  Well duh - - he’s accosed of murder already.  The Judge ruled that it’s public and therefore will be released.  Ben on Days of our Lives is a psycho killer.  He killed Serena, he strangled Page and both murders were “to make Chad look bad” to pin the murders on Chad all to win the love of Abigail because Benjamin was obsessed that she was in love with Chad.  But Ben doesn’t stop there but makes an attempt on Merlena’s life.  He killed William Horton because Will had evidence he was guilty.  On today’s episode he takes the midwife who just delivered his son- - he takes her out and shoots her like you’d shoot a rabid dog.  Benjamin is the rabid dog.  

One northern white rhino died at the zoo the other day, a 41 year old female.  Now there are only three white rhinos left in the world and those other three are in Kenya protected by armed guards.  Washington’s blog is concerned about shipping rates- - cargo and such- - are drastically down this year like they’ve never seen it.  I can’t even speculate as to what that means.  After five I headed to the store and noticed the almost full moon due east in the sky.  I entered the store around 5:20.  I got a banana nut muffin and a pack of John Blacks and my card was approved.  I had been entertaining doubts it might not go through.  At first Ben Carson backed up Trump’s statement, but now Carson is retracting his support of Trump.  But Trump saw “thousands and thousands”.  No major news organization or Christie or anybody can support this wild statement.
