Remember when I wrote about Chattanooga Police Officer Kenneth Freeman’s manly display of shoving down the 71 year old Wal-Mart greeter, Mr. Bill Walker, to the ground, then the good Samaritan, Gholom Ghassedi, was pushed thru a window when he confronted the very large man about his actions (just like any real man would do)? I received an update from a commenter that suggests that Mr Freeman (he was finally fired, but for a different reason) will now sue Mr Walker for ‘racial profiling’.
Seems fitting, doesn’t it?
That the steroid head can beat down two men when they suspect him of wrong-doing because he set off an alarm (in plain clothes) and simply do the job they are so very well paid for, then claim that they were racists putting him in his place, as it were.
Walker had sued for $21M, but was awarded only $12,000
Now, mighty man will sue Walker and Wal-Mart.
Sounds about right.
The Big Man says that Mr Walker simply tripped, but I point you here to see what truly happened.
(especially the second video)
I would think that unless corruption reaches even farther than the Collegedale Judge Kevin Wilson (who basically was going to allow Freeman to get away with this with only a 28 day suspension), this will be thrown out on its ear and I hope that some retribution is followed up in court to make this man’s life (Kenneth Freeman) a final living hell.
So, my plan is to take as many opportunities to stand next to a cop and fart. I won’t wave it towards him or say anything, but I will walk away smiling to myself.

Has anyone else noticed all the uptick in earthquakes and volcanic activity? I mean, in all my life, I don’t remember hearing so much about earthquakes happening so frequently. Until I started following this stuff, I really didn’t think about frequency, or the average size of earthquakes. It was a weird phenomena that I had only experienced in a very minor way (firsthand), having been awakened from a nap in northeast Mississippi back in ’76 or ’77, and then had seen the damage (firsthand) in San Fransisco in the early 90′s. Sure, I saw TV coverage of those far away exotic destinations that were ‘stupid to build’ there, but it was sporadic and only when it was horrible.
So, maybe with technology advancements and access to the internet, I just have access to more info and all things are the same between then and now.
Yeah. Right.
The severity is “highly unusual” (at least the latest in Virginia).
I have been mentioning this here for the past several months (especially since Fukushima). Either I am brainwashed to believe there is an increase in frequency and magnitude, OR, it is really happening. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments section.
Either way, I saw an interesting blog post containing an old “In search of…” video which tells us we ain’t got much time left.
Mr Spock informs us that the cataclysmic event is closer than we think (go to the segment starting at 4:27 or the direct quote at 4:45):
Click here to see the video
So, what if the 2012 date is wrong? What if we have but a few months left?
”On December 24, 2011 a cataclysmic earthquake will terminate their cycle of civilization”
And did you catch this part?
“…And lead the people to create a world government“
Personally, I really don’t know if there is going to be some event that ends our civilization, but from what I am seeing in the greed and desperate thievery going on, it would not surprise me that certain people know something is about to take place in a big way and are preparing to come out on top when it’s over. And to me, it also wouldn’t be a stretch that somehow, someway, there are those who have technology that causes some of this to happen on purpose (which would suggest that this is all scripted, even the Mayan prophecies). OK, ok. I may be pushing the envelope there. How about reports that it might have been a nuke in Virginia?
And think of this: its not like our own gubmint ain’t been planning for something bad.
I do know one thing: Friends of mine have told me they feel like something big is about to happen. One is suggesting that he feels like he is about to experience what he has felt much of his life… that he would experience the end of the world in his lifetime (and he is far from sort of religious nutcase holding an “end is nigh” sign).
I admit that I have this weird feeling of some major disruption and possible devastation coming to America, but that may just be the regular B’Man paranoia or something I am experiencing. As far as that matters, maybe I am imagining everything I discuss here? All is truly well and I am dreaming a nightmare… soon to wake up and laugh off such a silly thing.
Look. Does it matter if civilization is about to end? Really? Not in my life. No matter what happens, I will prepare in ways that I can feed, house and protect my family. If the civilization ends (which doesn’t mean that all life on earth is wiped out), and my family and I survive the initial event (earthquake, Elenin, Dollar collapse, tornado, nuke, etc) I will STILL do the best I can to feed, house and protect my family. What else is there? The fact is that in many ways, I am watching the current civilization dying a slow, painful death, anyway. Isn’t the “civilized” thing to do is to put it to a quick end and stop the suffering?
So bring it on. Then I will still be trying to feed, house and protect my family. Because the truth of the matter is that there really is nothing else.

What if she left me first?
Let me get one thing straight between me and you, you flag-waving, gubmint- supporting, CNN/FOX/NBC/CBS/ABC-watching, Demublican/Repubocrat Party idiots who wouldn’t understand the Constitution if I were to slap you in the head with it: This is NOT the country in which I grew up and learned about in school.
Just the fact that you can’t understand that sentence and would believe that it is I with the problem, tells the world how far the propagandists have been able to go in making you Sheep.
You sicken me.

Rise of the machine digital control. Arbitrary code bombarding the brain stem and frontal cortex. Your thoughts preprogrammed, your actions recorded for future processing. Computer Algorithms shaping our minds and decisions made at the speed of light.
This is not a sc-fi movie plot. Maybe it was, maybe it is, maybe it will be. For now, it is How algorithms shape our world by Kevin Slavin.
Kevin Slavin argues that we’re living in a world designed for — and increasingly controlled by — algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can’t understand, with implications we can’t control.

I spent a lifetime improving myself, pursuing something a little better, reaching it, then going for more. A little better education… a little better jobs… a little better quality of life…
…only to have criminals take over our country and rip apart each and every level of “betterment” I had achieved.
I have worked my fingers to the bare bone and it hasn’t been worth it. How about you?

Gaddafi wanted to take Africa to a gold standard currency. Look what happened to him when he thumbed his nose at the world banksters, trying to dismantle the petro-dollar’s stronghold. Realize what this man did for the citizens of Libya: water, standard of living, guaranteed education, lifted them from one of the poorest African nations into one of the richest.
And, maybe I shouldn’t mention aaingirfan’s post, but apparently Gaddafi was not afraid to call out one of the most monstrous of the entities ruling the Earth, Israel:
A. Gaddafi’s Libya seeks a ONE state solution for Israel-Palestine
Gaddafi wants to:
1. Have ONE state which will include both the Palestinians and the Israelis.
2. Return ALL Palestinian refugees to this state.
3. Remove all weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear weapons, from this state.
4. Have 5 administrative regions within the state.
B. In a UN speech, Gaddafi suggested that Israel was behind the JFK assassination.
Gaddafi asked why Jack Ruby, ‘an Israeli,’ killed Lee Harvey Oswald.
Gaddafi suggested that Kennedy may have been killed because of his interest in ‘investigating’ an Israeli nuclear program.
“Why did this Israeli kill the killer of Jack Kennedy? The whole world should know that Kennedy wanted to investigate the nuclear reactor of the Israeli demon,” Gaddafi said.
C. Gaddafi has said that Israel ‘is behind Africa’s wars’ – (Al Jazeera English)
In 2009, Gaddafi told African leaders that Israel is “behind all of Africa’s conflicts”.
Gaddafi demanded the closure of all Israeli embassies across Africa, describing Israel as a “gang” and saying it uses “the protection of minorities as an excuse to launch conflicts”.
Face it, you can’t do stuff for the citizen and expect that the Corporations will allow it. One cannot express the obviousness of Israel’s criminality without recompense.
Same will go for Chavez and Venzuela.
Chavez wants Venezuelan gold returned. The Bank of England, JP Morgan, Barclays, and Bank Of Nova Scotia are all on the hook for ponying up this booty. This will not bode well and I suspect that the recent cancer that Chavez has endured may be the catalyst to make the move. Maybe he is sick and wants to quickly implement what needs to be done to protect his country from the scavenger banks and American politicians who are owned by the same banks before his demise.
But here is the rub. He wants it ALL (approximately 99 tons) returned. And ‘if’ JP Morgan only has 10.6 tons shelved, how do you suppose they will get the remainder in order to pay the debt? There is about a 100:1 leverage level of paper gold derivatives to physical gold. This means that those who were supposedly ‘storing’ the gold, really aren’t and they simply have paper. Even if they wanted to return the gold, they can’t.
Oh, and the fact that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves means NOTHING, correct? That little ditty won’t play into America’s plans, at all, correct?
So, what to do?
Expect, very soon, to start hearing that harlot, sHrillary Clinton, start her manly, aggressive stance against what some might argue as one of the best political leaders in all of the Americas (he certainly outshines Barry S). It won’t be long until we hear the same calls of justice and regime change for Venezuela that we hear elsewhere (Syria has been the latest).
But isn’t that the meme set for our activity in this world. I relish the moment that it all goes down and those criminals who have done this pay.
(I can dream, can’t I?)
Now, for an opinion worthy of note:
Maybe Venezuela is protecting their own interests while telling America/EU to bite one. And, if I were them, I’d make sure I check to see if the gold is real or counterfeit. h/t DProgram

Since we have gotten into the kinda weird stuff around here, I thought this means SOMETHING, so I wanted to share my initial thoughts and observations. I saw a video at Intel Hub where they suggest that the moon is shifting its poles. So I went out and looked at way over 1 hundred pics. I selected three to show below which will highlight what I see.
I will admit that as many times as I have looked at the moon, I have never taken time enough to see if she was shifting. I do know that one of the biggest arguments I ever got into was about whether or not the moon rotates on its axis (it does). It takes approximately 1 month for the rotation to occur (precisely the same amount of time that it takes the moon to rotate around Earth). Hence, this is why we always see the same ‘face’ or side of the moon.
Now tell me what you see above in the time progression photos. Do you see Tycho move from the bottom left around to the bottom right (in an almost clockwise fashion)? Did you notice the ‘eyes” doing the same thing?
There are those that believe your position on Earth can cause this to happen. Wiki has a link up about lunar libration which is interesting and may explain this:
OK, it does something similar in the model to what I see in the time progression pictures (I can’t be certain where those pics were taken ‘from’, so that may be at issue here, as well).
There is another theory: that the Earth is polar shifting (I have addressed this here before).
Some indicate that this is simply the dawning of the age of Aquarius.
What do you think? Where is DublinMick when you need him?
Have you noticed all the volcanic uprisings, especially along the west coast of the USA (these were all “dormant” volcanoes, now coming to life after millions of years of silence)? There are 6.0 earthquakes around the ‘rim of fire’ on an almost daily basis. The closer we get to our interaction with Elenin, it seems that stuff is heating up and getting more active. Is it just me?
And, (this is probably JUST me) doesn’t it seem like there is this perfect storm brewing on virtually all fronts of human existence, especially politically and the nature of world economics? Wouldn’t some strange, devastating celestial occurrence really be all they need to take the minds of the sheople from the massive theft and oppression they are carrying out?

I just came across this story and thought I should share it here.

How would you communicate with those around you should your cellphone quit working ?
Recently in the snooze we saw an example of government control over cellphone use. The San Francisco Police Department [SFPD] and the Bay Area Rapid Transit System [BART] admitted they shut off cell service to subway stations in San Francisco. They did this in an attempt to stop a planned protest by disabling the protesters ability to communicate on mobile phones.
What would you do in this situation in your area, should they decide to cut cell or regular phone service for some reason or another ?
Here are a few things you can do on the local level.
[1] – Remember the days gone by of CB radio. I personally have a Citizens Band radio although I dont use it much anymore, but should the need arise, it’s there and can reach out a couple of miles. Far enough to stay in touch with family and friends should the need arise.
[2] Along the same lines are the compact two way radios / walkie talkie. I have a set which at one time was used to talk to my sister at her house next door, and when I was snow skiing or hiking the trails with friends. Now granted this was only for basic communication, but it got the job done.
[3] Here is one not many think about. Do you have a notebook or laptop computer ? Is it able to connect to the internet wirelessly. If so, should the need arise, you could text or talk to others in your general area via an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer link. Much in the way your laptop communicates with a wireless router or switch, it could also communicate with other laptops or notebooks set up to do so wirelessly. I suppose this might work with cell phones as well.
Of course all of the above is provided you still have electricity. If it goes out, do you have other means to generate power for you devices? Batteries, generator, power converter/inverter.
All of the above would be good for short term. What or how would we communicate if down time lasted for months ? I guess verbally and with only those in you general / local area. Just something to think about.

I read Arthur Silber’s post at ‘Once Upon A Time‘, called “Everyone Agrees: Looting Is Always Wrong“.
For those of you who are unaware of Mr Silber, all I can say is that he has a very sharp wit and is not afraid to call ‘em like he sees ‘em (and he and I see things very much the same way in most instances). He is spot on with his analysis and isn’t afraid to address the problems destroying our country. In this post, he snarks as well as ever and I thought it might be a good piece for me to adapt into a B’Man Rant/Snark.
I recommend everyone subscribing to his blog. He never lets me down.
Text from his post (adapted into the above video):
Everyone Agrees: Looting Is Always Wrong!
I would never be so foolhardy as to challenge what is indisputably the consensus view on any subject.
Thusly and therefore: Fucking colonists. What a bedraggled bunch of criminal, immoral, lazy, destructive bastards. And they didn’t even use the tea. They just destroyed it! Goddamned nihilists. No moral compass! No self-discipline! And all because of some teeny little tax, all the while enjoying the lavish benefits that accrued to them as privileged members of the British Empire! Those rotten bums never heard of paying their fair share, or shared sacrifice?
To top it off, some of those criminal lowlifes didn’t even have the courage of their rotten, immoral convictions — so they pretended to belong to the already designated disfavored group, Native Americans. Because everyone who mattered knew what lazy, shiftless, immoral, criminal bastards they were. Well, once the colonists got their own racket going, they showed those uncivilized barbarians! A mere one hundred years later, almost none of them were left.
But what a downer that turned out to be. There was hardly anyone left to murder in these magnificent United States, unless you counted Black Americans. Nobody who mattered counted them. So all those upright, super-moral white boys, who simply loved murdering in a righteous cause, had to look farther afield. There’s that American initiative for you!
Next stop: the Philippines! That was after a little warmup exercise in Hawaii, but nobody remembers that anymore. And after the Philippines, they never stopped.
They still haven’t stopped today. In addition to all the righteous murder going on overseas, they’re coming after you now. Whatcha gonna do?
Hmm … ah … well … oh, I know, I know! Be sure to vote in the next election, and in every election! That’ll fix up everything, lickety-split.
And for God’s sake, whatever you do, don’t loot! That is, like, totally wrong!
Everyone says so. And you probably shouldn’t mention the Boston Tea Party. Certainly not to conservatives (need I spell out why? didn’t think so), but not to liberals and progressives, either. Everyone says looting is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Anyway, the Boston Tea Party couldn’t actually have been “looting.” People who would soon be Americans did that, which makes it completely different. I know I don’t have to explain that to good Americans like you. And don’t even think of talking about how the ruling class is sucking up all the wealth of “ordinary” Americans, and now their lives, too. That can’t possibly be looting! This is America!
Confused? That’s because you’re a criminal, immoral, lazy, rotten nihilist. And a potential or actual looter! You better keep that to yourself. Wait…oh, geez, Napolitano and Holder say they already know all about you. And I do mean all. But if you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about. This is America!
God bless us, every one. Except for the looters. And God bless America!

Dr Doug’s band (Last Leg) has been featured here a few times. They are a powerful, raw-edged, southern rock and roll band that can put down some killer jams. Seriously good.
They are part of a Charter Cable sponsored contest called “Center Stage” where they allow people to “be the judge” and vote for their favorites.
Please, if you have time and the gumption, go to Last Leg’s page and vote for them (it looks like I am the first voter). Voting just opened up and I would love for them to get some bling-bling for their efforts. They could win $25,000 for first place and a chance to jam heavy and possibly get some sort of contract. They could, at the least, win some needed equipment and recognition.
They were required to submit an original tune (and ‘Nuclear Winter’ was selected). It has been highlighted here before. Doug wrote the number and I am totally impressed with the song and his abilities on lead guitar. And BTW, the old dog came to see me yesterday.
Us ole country boys need every little bit of help we can muster and that group is good enough and well deserving.
Again, for your enjoyment:
Please note that Last Leg has their own Reverbnation page. They can also be found on Facebook. And we are slowly building their YouTube channel, hopefully adding more of their music videos in the near future.

Last year I did a piece on the meteor shower…well time flies and its that time again. However, the full moon is going to make it more difficult. Early in the pre dawn hours this Sunday is the best time to view this event.
