Cycle: Crazy 3D Animation

Plastic in the Pacific

GeeSussFreeK says...

To me, this stuff is 100x more of a motivator to live green than the whole world going out of control with global warming. Who wants to live in filth? It is disgusting, irresponsible, and it doesn't take a theory with a room full of scientists to tell you that, a thousand moms wagging their fingers would be enough.

This is definitely a "double-edged sword" maneuver by whoever is using the Anonymous persona. This does have the potential to be very bad-but, as has been said above if the right things are done and this induces more fear and apprehension... It has the chance to potentially make many of the police realize that they have more of a stake in this other than just another day at the job, always obeying the bosses calls and shots.

The only reason I think it may be time to see something like this is that the media, who has the power to end this type of issue if they decide to actually be investigative and not wag their tail when the police chief or mayor calls. They can find out who these policeman are. They can use societies' moral inaction and their own judgment as a huge tool for change by demanding for that police officer to quit or be fired. This happened in the past, but the media has seemingly joined forces with the easiest source of money and they do not willingly put themselves at risk anymore. Journalism is all but dead except at the edges.

So when the people are trying to make a point via demonstrations and protesting and in turn they are unfairly being silenced by: batons, gas cannisters, rubber bullets, tear gas, pepper spray, and even the media tries to lie about them--to shut them down. Yet the people still fight on. That is when you begin to see these type of actions; like Anonymous. An attempt to regain power when they have lost almost all of it. As sad as it is, every major media outlet is acting in the best interests of what Fox News would serve. They do not answer and show the story; they speak of it in hushed tones and they implicate OWS and Occupy at every available point they can that they use drugs, they don't actually know what they want, they are violent, etc... Occupy and OWS do need to make a point; but it does need to be made carefully. Maybe it's better that Anonymous decides to be the heavy arm.

We'll see what happens. In the meantime make sure you spread all of the indie media outlets out there that ARE covering this in great detail.

Nero in the White House
By Mychal Massie

Three significant historical events have been eclipsed by Obama: 1) Jimmy Carter will no longer be looked upon as the worst president in American history; 2) Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton will no longer be recognized as the greatest liars in presidential history; 3) Clinton's stain on Monica's dress, and what that did to the White House in general and the office of the president specifically, will forever pale in comparison to the stain and stench of Obama.

I need not spend much time on the failure of Obama as president. His tenure has been a failure on every measurable level. So much so, in fact, that some of the staunchest, most respected liberal Democrats and Democratic supporters have not only openly criticized him – some even more harshly than this essayist – but they have called for him to step down.

Richard Nixon's words "I am not a crook," punctuated with his involvement in Watergate, and Bill Clinton's finger-wagging as he told one of the most pathetic lies in presidential history, in the aftermath of Obama, will be viewed as mere prevarications.

Mr. Nixon and Clinton lied to save their backsides. Although, I would argue there are no plausible explanations for doing what they did, I could entertain arguments pursuant to understanding their rationales for lying. But in the case of Obama, he lies because he is a liar. He doesn't only lie to cover his misdeeds – he lies to get his way. He lies to belittle others and to make himself look presentable at their expense. He lies about his faith, his associations, his mother, his father and his wife. He lies and bullies to keep his background secret. His lying is congenital and compounded by socio-psychological factors of his life.

Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood.

As the stock markets were crashing, taking with them the remaining life saving of untold tens of thousands, Obama was hosting his own birthday celebration, which was an event of epicurean splendidness. The shamelessness of the event was that it was not a state dinner to welcome foreign dignitaries, nor was it to honor an American accomplishment – it was to honor the Pharaoh, Barack Hussein Obama. The event's sole purpose was for the Pharaoh to have his loyal subjects swill wine, indulge in gluttony and behavior unfit to take place on the property of taxpayers, as they suffer. It was of a magnitude comparable to that of Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski's $2 million birthday extravaganza for its pure lack of respect for the people.

Permit me to digress momentarily. The U.S. Capitol and the White House were built with the intent of bringing awe and respect to America and her people. They were also built with the intent of being the greatest of equalizers. I can tell you, having personally been to both, there is a moment of awe and humility associated with being in the presence of the history of those buildings. They are to be honored and inscribed into our national psyche, not treated as a Saturday night house party at Chicago's Cabrini-Green.

The people of America own that home Obama and his wife continue to debase with their pan-ghetto behavior. It is clear that Obama and family view themselves as royalty, but they're not. They are employees of "we the people," who are suffering because of his failed policies. What message does this behavior send to those who today are suffering as never before?

What message does it send to all Americans who are struggling? Has anyone stopped to think what the stock market downturn forebodes for those 80 million baby boomers who will be retiring in the next period of years? Is there a snowball's chance in the Sahara that every news program on the air would applaud this behavior if it were George W. Bush? To that point, do you remember the media thrashing Bush took for having a barbecue at the White House?

Like Nero – who was only slightly less debaucherous than Caligula – with wine on his lips Obama treated "we the people" the way Caligula treated those over whom he lorded.

Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America's people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.
