Dig deep enough under the government and the MSM and you’re sure to hit a vein of pure bullshit. Mine it and . . . well, read on.

One of the many interesting news stories that was buried by the marathon bombs coverage last week was this shit-head, Israeli mouthpiece, Dan Gillerman, excoriating Kerry for trying to lower the temperature on the Korean peninsula. Gillerman’s opinion, stated on (you guessed it) FOX news, is that NoKo should be “wiped off the face of the map” because of Kim Jong-un’s recent rhetoric. Gillerman’s rationale? Well, he reckons that by killing 25 million North Koreans the US “will send a message” to Iran, and, of course, that would suit Israel just fine.

Like most of America I have been watching the MSM coverage of the Boston bombings in a state of dazed incredulity – dazed at yet another heinous attack on innocent civilians, incredulous at how inane the reporting has been.

As one small example of the latter, two CNN reporters came on the screen just a while ago. One of them said, “Hello, I am Erin Burnett reporting from Boston.” That seemed like a completely innocuous and precise statement of fact, assuming she was, in fact, in Boston. But then her side-kick standing right next to her said flashed his single digit IQ when he said: “And I’m Jake Tapper, also in Boston.” No doubt this was a preview of what’s sure to come today from these MSM simian shit-slingers because simian shit is  pretty much what they gave us yesterday. But I’m getting ahead of this post – here is a collection of random thoughts I recorded whiled watching MSNBC, CNN, and FOX much of the day yesterday.

 Joe LaCava

While the whole world peers at Tiger Woods and questions his honesty, intelligence, and, intelligence – in that order – for the way he conducted himself on yesterday’s 15th hole of the 2nd round of the 2013 Masters, the real divot-dolt in this mess has not yet been identified, so let’s do that now: meet Tiger’s caddy, Joe LaCava.

Here is the lead from Paul Street’s recent piece in ZNet:

Questioned by a handful of Senate Democrats on his secret killer drone program earlier this month, Barack Obama said “This is not Dick Cheney we’re talking about here.”

“No Mr. President,” one of those Senators should have retorted (none did), “it is not. It is worse, actually, in three ways. First, Cheney was Vice President and you, sir, are President. Second, you have gone very far beyond George W. Bush and Dick Cheney when it comes to the cowardly and indiscriminate murder of thousands of people with drones. Third, you have done this under the cloak of liberalism, progressivism, peace, and multiculturalism whereas Bush and Cheney were openly reactionary white-nationalist messianic-militarists, which made their evil easier to identify and oppose.”

Of 366 U.S. drone attacks that have killed 3,581 people in Pakistan since 2002, 316 have been launched by the Obama administration. Less than 2 percent of those killed have been high-profile Taliban militants, the avowed targets. Many of those blasted out of earthly existence by America’s airborne remote-control killing machines have been innocent bystanders, including women and children.

It’s a worthwhile piece, give it a read. Street is hyping a series of anti-drone demonstrations scheduled for April, and well that he should. As Street implies, Obama with his fleet of 7500 drones has become a scarier war-monger than Cheney. If Obama is what it means to have a black president, let’s hope he’s the last.

Here is a link to Know Drones, which is a major anti-drone website.  And here is their FAQ page.

Israeli warmongering agents who spread rumors of Iran having a nuke have been at it for at least a decade. They include John Bolton, David Albright, Yukiya Amano, George Jahn, and, of course, virtually every editor of every Israeli newspaper. An article in today’s Times of Israel is a good example of their modus operandi: stir the pot with speculation and rumors based on unnamed, covert sources “close” to someone who knows something. This is the exact same formula that got over 100,000 Iraqis and 5000 Americans killed in the Iraq War.

  Officer Wiley’s battery of Peter Bohmer caught on vid

A YT video shot on Mar5.2013 in Olympia Washington seems to provide incontrovertible evidence that a Washington State cop, Officer Wiley, is a liar. First name not known or I’d surely put it up for you.

One word tells us that Anna Hodgekiss is intellectually dishonest.

The Daily Mail has never been, and will never be, known for hiring intelligent writers or editors. It is, after all, a tabloid posing as a newspaper and its piss-poor quality is evident. But when the DM takes on a topic in science or medicine, the stupidity of both its writers and editors really shines through.

[ Keep reading . . .]

The Daily Mail, true to its reputation as a third rate tabloid rag, stoops to ripping off valid news sources.  Here DM reporter Helen Pow rips off an AP article on a tragedy in California.  As of this writing, Pow’s article, which is not Pow’s article, does not have a single word of attribution to the AP article.  This is blatant dishonesty.

Imagine putting your life savings in a bank to keep it safe and then having the likes of Angela Merkel and Christine Lagarde decide you will give up 30% of it to save the banks. This would be an unconstitutional taking under the 5^th Amendment of U.S. Constitution, but it appears to be OK in the European Union, which Merkel currently controls.  If you live in a European Union country, it could happen to you, just as it is now happening to the people of Cyprus.

Any person with money in any EU bank who doesn’t make a run for their own money after seeing what powers Merkel and Lagarde have is a fool.  Merkel, Lagarde, the EU, and the IMF are forming the perfect storm that will be a disaster for the entire world economy.

How smart are the people calling these shots? Well, probably a lot dumber than Herbert Hoover and the other idiots calling the shots that brought down the world economy in the 1930’s, and today’s idiots are working in an infinitely more complex universe than Hoover was.
