I don't get the applications for this. It's only effective when viewed directly through the lenses and even if the object were cloaked from all angles the apparatus itself remains uncloaked. Cool though.

You might find one of these vids on cloaking interesting.

...belches the resident informer, donned w/Level 216-Sincerity Cloak

Yeah ya did-"I didn't even insult your dumb ass" is about as ad hom as you can get and you even prefaced the insult with another less-than-cleverly cloaked ad-hom in the opener-

A clue to the personality behind any passionate, ego-driven enemy of reasonable discourse? Beware of anyone who begins a sentence with the word, "Actually."

I feel I do need to dial my earlier post back a bit. I feel as though I'm unfairly blaming all republicans for this sort of behavior.

The reality is that plenty of Republicans think this sort of thing is nonsense too. The problem is not the republicans, it's Fox News...they are the propaganda arm. It's not all Republicans, Its one group of republicans who are in control of a massively large media apparatus and they are using it to push a narrative. There was a TYT video about this situation too where Cenk blasted Hannity for constantly pushing the rancher to agree with him...instead of..you know..asking him questions and actually interviewing him? Hannity was trying to guide the discussion towards one path and the rancher resisted until Hannity pushed the same narrative for the 3rd time until the rancher gave in and just echoed him.

propaganda.

Not that many people actually agree with Hannity's/Fox's agenda, but they cloak it in the flag of faux patriotism and they know their demographic are poor, old, white scared people and it's so so very easy to pull those puppet strings.

Would you argue that whatever academics say about major world conflicts if they aren't parroting other agreed-upon-by-experts musings could be part of the overall codification of these events in world subconscious and conscious with a view to shaping minds for the next conflict to be orchestrated and implemented? The simple or complex aspects of any sacrificial lump of money and people can always be rendered into the essence of the insanity of the same with a simple and universally-agreed-upon homo-sapient common-sense.
Eveyone thinks 'ol Tom Edison was a goddamn genius and that Chris Columbus wasn't a complete cockbag posing as some ground-breaking explorer as well. What does the tinkerer and and a boat captain have in common? A lot of assholes have written tomes about both of them to deify them. One was an egotistical half-ass and the other a dirty fucking example of a Spaniard working for a cunt whore empire-builder.

ChaosEngine, your lack of any point reads COMPLETELY retarded and it's a not-so-cloaked personal attack at someone much more intellectually honest than yourself.

^ If he'd care to, I'd discuss my problem with his tactics at length, but as you can see eric, he's already decided just how he's willing to avoid discussion, and simply deride me publically.

I take offense, and as politely as I am able to at any time, voice my consternation with the dysfunction and hate directed at me personally.

Swirly??-That's like sticking someone's head in a toilet and holding them down while you flush it, right? One usually needs a few like-minded buddies to help with such a move...

I'd call his new favorite word for me a bully-tactic cloaked in an insult, disguised as a free-ticket to absolution. But hey, I'm the asshole here so, it couldn't be anyone but me, right??

Why sir, did not you yourself second his ban of this violator of the sift's rules eric, if it's not simply to call-attention to what you perceive as hate directed at chicco??

Maybe get a room, discuss it amongst yourselves??

These aren't even cloaked ad-homs dude, and now you are talking about my mother indirectly?? What IS your problem beyond what you've already shared with the entire site-Your continued personal attacks speak tomes as well as being flagrant violations of sift-decorum.

Chinga-tu madre TRANSLATION (for anyone who does not speak Spanish): 'Fuck your mother', as opposed to 'motherfucker'

Then, as you laugh at your own clever pun, you brag about your sex-life in the most douchiest of a manner. WTF is wrong with you son? Did I indirectly tell you to fuck off??

Do you troll You Tube as well with a view to one-upping people?

Really not getting your meltdown any longer man-Please, leave the full-fledged direct attacks at myself alone sir. You are sadly mistaken if you think this is your version of what my intent is as a user here.

To the sift: This guy is sending me personal messages, posting my private messages (by copying them and rendering them public), and has promised to and is initiating a unilateral scheme of what amounts to basically spamming comments on about every post I chose to comment on.

Stalker or off-the-chain, I can't figure it nor do I want to. I do think the sift community should chime-in, I told this person I was no longer willing to engage him personally, and have been through this before in the past with other similar dysfunctionals on this site...Refuse to be a victim of the same bullshit again.

I'm harsh sometimes. I tend to lite-upon formulaic posts and diatribes. I no longer from lessons learned from past experience, directly attack personally any users nor do I wish to suffer the consequences of doing so, as I appreciate having been welcomed-back.

If this is you being yourself newtboy, it's not your best foot forward, it's a foot directed up my ass, and I am offended.

Is that plain English enough for you, because I have as strong or stronger a will to take anything you might want to add publicly?

Everything virtual does not have to be this kind of choice, VoodooV-I'm no wimp, the process would work were it not continually hijacked by a mechanism that is both glaringly apparent and for a certain privileged few to tweak at their leisure while maintaining a simple yet elaborate ruse. 'Writing' someone in would not work and this cold-cut fact should also be glaringly apparent to anyone with the capacity for critical thought tinctured with a dash of common-sense. Elections are and have been simply an exercise in complacent self-approbation and self-deceit for some time now...going waaay back-The white-knights and villains are agreed, in every personality, every human breathing as all are capable of the worst atrocities and the infinite empathy and kindness. The checks-and-balances only work if everyone plays by the rule book and not the cheat-sheet.


Now, an intelligent breakdown of your reaction cloaked as some meaningful response:

'someones feeling attention deprived again, trolling and picking fights to overcompensate'

No-I'm not picking a fight, I'm picking at a soft-spot in a personality and calling attention to particular predictable rhetorical repetition in a manner which also predictably, causes these certain personalities to cry foul, troll (insert racist here, as those who cry racism are invariably the racists themselves) or any other convenient terms which halt the process of reason.

"If I thought there would be actual rational discourse, I would engage him." (here's your chance) 'But nope' (there's the cop-out and hasty retreat with the regular gang of supporters)

'It would just be noise' (perhaps to yourself, as this is yet another convenient dismissal of an alternative point of view or realization).

And bareboards, sorry if I cause you to la la la with fingers in your ears, I did nothing rather, your reaction as well connotes a predictable denial of the meat in my rant, as is Chaos calling out the mundane aspect of mistyped punctuation.

Haven't had a drop of alcohol when this was written earlier this morning, nor have I smoked the ganja for over 2 months...question mark, exclamation point.....and more than enough ....el;ipsis

As tired of the childish shit as y'all are of mine?? Yep-But I hold-out hope for communion and understanding, as we all play here together.

Gotta love those cloaked-ad-hom comment down-votes-

The United States two-party systems' a joke.
A gang of criminals provide the show and no blog-banter will fix the hijack. Full-on police state within 20 years, total surveillance, criminals made of complainers (shooting the bird, illegal...stuff like that)

While people are talking about which republican or that democrat, the shits gonna turn ugly, controlled, regimented, rights become privileges, etc. etc. etc.-Sorry, bout as optimistic as I can be reading the comments.

Also see the Terminator scenario happening before hover cars, free energy, or everyone being fed and clothed.

Thought experiment: Would you prefer a world in which privacy was still paramount, or a world in which there was no privacy whatsoever? That is, either your emails aren't read, but it's very easy to cloak clandestine activity. Or would you prefer the latter, in which even your neighbor can read your emails at the click of a button, but you can read Barack Obama's. Discuss.
