Hoosier Gunrunnin'?

The War on Guns: Mainstream media ignores Indiana ‘Gunwalker’ story



T-shirt anyone?

PsyOps Disinformation







Early in the timeline ...
In short, there is now ample proof that one of the first things the new Obama administration did upon taking office was to broadcast DISINFORMATION that they absolutely knew was false to attempt to pass new gun control laws. The story does not end there. It appears that the administration may have reacted to the exposure of their lie by trying to make it come true.






This traffic of heavy weaponry from American gun stores to Mexican drug cartels will once again feature in talks ... Obama has said — more unequivocally than any previous President — that the U.S. has a responsibility to stop American guns getting into the hands of the mobsters

Obama's Other War; Fighting Mexico's Druglords

Border sheriffs like Wiles (who says it's no coincidence the plan was crafted in part by Napolitano, a former border governor) are particularly gratified to see Washington sending 100 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agents to help intercept the deluge of assault rifles, automatic pistols and grenades moving south.

Ummm ... grenades? Gotta ax ... Where do I legally buy 'em? Gun show? Gun shop? Military base?
Automatic pistols? Rare item that. Maybe they meant semi-automatic. Ever heard of the modifier semi-? I know ... confusing.

It's enough to make one a skeptic.

Cocoa Puff Cuckoo implicated in bizaare behavior

from HuffPo and  The Indy Channel

Tam thinks maybe it was the evil weed.*

Maybe it was. Maybe it was laced with PCP.


But according to the perp apprehended it was the Cocoa Puffs.

"Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs"
Which leads me to the conclusion, that maybe, just maybe, "teh crazy" don't need no steenkin' reason.
Although ... to be thorough, I'd check to see if said perp had a history of contact with the mental health industry as well as prescriptions for psychoactive serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

* In the comments to her original post ... Tam and I are in complete agreement. The eebil intoxicant found in evidence, prolly just took the "baseline craziness" inherent, and kicked it up to "a whole 'nover level".

Happy un-Labor Day

Via WRSA from The Economic Collapse

Was reminded that it was the Pullman Strike and it's political reconciliation that's giving you today off.

Via Wiki; The strike was broken up by United States Marshals and some 12,000 United States Army troops, commanded by Nelson Miles, sent in by President Grover Cleveland on the premise that the strike interfered with the delivery of U.S. Mail, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act and represented a threat to public safety. The arrival of the military and subsequent deaths of workers led to further outbreaks of violence.

Pullman Palace Car Company created a "company town".  Unintended consequences from the economic depression of 1893, wage restructuring, and failed union negotiations, led to a strike, factory lockout, and eventually "urban upheaval".

via; openlibrary


Railroads were the shizzle in 1890's. Rail was "high speed". Shaky railroad financing which set off a series of bank failures, contributed to the 1893 depression.  Railroads were also instrumental in the transformation of corporate law.

All these lil dots of history are just backtracks from the posts that spurred the title above.
From the Economic Collapse ... Celebrating the Lack of Jobs ...
This middle class is being pummeled out of existence, and most Americans don't even understand what is happening. rtwt

 Which leads back to one of my own personal conundrums. What is "middle class"? Like "terrorist", it's one of those ubiquitous phrases that defies definition. Everyone I know shoehorns themselves into the "middle class". It's either a very broad economic yardstick ... from under $20k to over 200k annually, or an equally broad "state of mind".

Sue the Banks

h/t Chicago Tribune

Hmmm. Thank Ja the "Too Big to Fail" gang has had Billions of taxpayer dollars pumped into their legal defense funds.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The agency that oversees mortgage markets is preparing to file suit against more than a dozen big banks, accusing them of misrepresenting the quality of mortgages they packaged and sold during the housing bubble, The New York Times reported on Thursday.

I predict reddened, stinging, Armani-clad wrists across boardrooms everywhere.



Former regulator William Black had an accurate assessment of systemic fraud in this interview by Bill Moyers.
Way back in 2009.
At 28 minutes the vid is longish. It's worth every second of your time.



William Black also wrote this Dead Tree indictment of the banking cartel ...
Do YOU trust your bank? Why?

"Federal Family"?

h/t The War on Guns

Okaaay. Sure.
Why'd this image pop into mind?

Fedderal Family?
Makes me feel all warm 'n fuzzy alright.
Don't think they really want us to think of 'em as family.
How DO YOU treat family members that are living far beyond their means?
That threaten you? That take part of every paycheck?
Tell ya what though ... I had forgot that the Addams family had a family motto.

"sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc"
we gladly feast on those who would subdue us' 

That seems oddly apropos 

The "Lone Wolf" meme

This one's gonna grow. Rather, grow mo' bigger, i should say.
Heard it today.

One of Illinois' few un-incarcerated governors, and member of the 911 commission, Big Jim Thompson was on the 50,000 watt blower (brought to ya by Dr. Gautam Gupta) today, giving statesman like interview.

Former IL Chief Executive Jim Thompson
Interview overview; major gaps remain in the government's ability to prevent
and respond to a terrorist strike.
Money Quote; "Here's the really tough one, but it's an increasing danger. and that is not so much ... uh uhh ... al qaeda folks coming in and doing sleeper cells and then striking as they did on 9/11, but what we call the uh, uh, radicalization of Americans, or people who are lawfully in the country ... you look at that Army guy down at Fort Hood, who managed to kill 13 servicemen before he was subdued. Uhh ... Folks today can ... because of their facilities on the internet become radical and do damage in the country, now not a nationwide thing like 9/11 smaller acts of terrorism ... and there's no way to really predict who's going to do that anymore than you can predict when a bank robbery is taking place, alright? And so the increasing danger is from young radicals in America, either citizens or lawful residents, who become addicted to what they see and hear over the internet, or in the mosque, or in the madras, and then go off and try and do something, like that Times Square bomber"
Host: The Lone Wolf Fear!
Da Guv: Yeah!

The Lone Wolf. The enemy of the shepherd. The enemy of the sheep.
The Ft. Hood Jihadist? He was on report and quite open about his radicalization.
Institutional incompetence and inertia allowed that bloodbath.
The Times Square bomber? Wasn't he stopped by a cabbie and a beat cop?
So much for yer "global security system"
I'm not saying that the Lone Wack-a-Doodle isn't a concern.
Less of a concern for me personally than the systemic stripping of civil rights in the name of "security" or "safety".
Less of a concern than living in a police state.
Less of a concern than inept, mendacious "leaders"
Less of a concern than being told the internet is dangerous and addictive.

Oh yeah ... the "no way ... you can predict when a bank robbery is taking place," ...
That's being played with now.
