Links to Vanderboegh Speeches
[More]
Mike reminded us of this link the other day. It's an aggregate post with links to various speeches he's given over the years, and it's well worth bookmarking and revisiting as time permits.
We tried recording an interview the other day but Skype requires third-party software to record. A combination of factors, including no video capability, sound feedback, it ending up being too much of a strain on Mike, and maddeningly, my own utter lack of experience with controls I found non-intuitive, resulted in no file to save and nothing to share. That was very disheartening, because I thought the conversation was excellent.
I've got a new sw with video I still need to test and if I can get it to work properly and -- only if Mike is able -- we'll try again.
UPDATE: This is what I ended up with.

Memos on Alleged Saudi-Affiliated Support of the 9/11 Attacks [More]Minus 28 "classified" pages, of course.
WarOnGuns Correspondent Laocoön responds:
Disgusting, worse because it's not surprising. FBI had an informant living with two of the terrorists. Of course, like Sergeant Schultz in Hogan's Heroes, he supposedly knew nothing, and he was unavailable for interview. The Jihadis were well hooked up with the Saudi government, princes, diplomats, etc. To the extent the Saudi govt & ruling class wasn't directly responsible, it's still responsible for creating the conditions for Saudis to organize the attack, spreading and funding anti-Western and anti-Jewish hate, madrasas and so forth.
Even now, few people ask why so many millions of Muslims are here in the first place, when there were virtually none before 1960. The neo"con" game is to literally treat the "war on terror" like a game with a handicap: Keeping Muslims out in the first place would be too easy. No challenge, no fun, no material for idiot shows like "24", and most importantly: no excuse for preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, "nation-building" scams, or a massive "security" state that tracks and spies and gropes American citizens and treats us all as potential terror suspects. So the game is, flood the USA with millions of Muslims, then try to nip the inevitable attacks in the bud. With millions of immigrants belonging to an inherently violent, intolerant, aggressive, oppressive religion, a large percentage of whom therefore support Sharia and Jihad (even many "moderates" sympathize with terrorists - and breed them), it's impossible to stop all the attacks. But the few attacks that slip through keep Americans on our toes, eagerly bent over for more "security", preemptive quagmires, foreign adventures, corrupt "nation-building" scams, and a bigger Military Industrial Complex. Doctor's Orders! And the neo"cons" can say we need to bring in even more Muslims to help us "fight" the "war on terror" and foil "homegrown" attacks by the Muslims they already brought in. Finally the icing on the caca, Republicans get "cheap labor", PC-whipped neo"con" prostitutes like David Petraeus can sell their souls, Democrats get future votes and accelerated, irreversible "multicultural" terraforming. Win-win-win!

And Another One Bites the Dust
My articles continue to be removed from the Google News feed. Removed as in they were originally there and either an algorithm or a person decided to take them down.
The Monday story about the Third Circuit affirming the district court in the Watson machine gun case was posted in the news feed within moments of being published and remained there through yesterday. Today it is gone.
This was the handicap we operated under all through Fast and Furious. If it doesn't come from the "Authorized Journalists," the system is rigged to keep original investigative reporting and analysis contained.
Just to reiterate, as the dilemma seemed to cause some confusion last post: Yes, I know it still appears on Google. I'm talking about the "News" category marked by a tab. That's the place stories recognized as newsworthy are aggregated, providing a distinct advantage in terms of being noticed and picked up by other outlets and people looking for media sources as opposed to sources that don't meet the content guideline and authorship criteria.

No Way to Treat a Lady

As Good as It Gets
The Republican governor said in a veto message that the bill would place "redundant restrictions on firearms ownership while ignoring the larger problem of domestic violence." Current law requires officers to seize a person's weapons when there is probable cause to believe the person has committed domestic violence, said Christie, who vetoed a version of the bill last year.

Stay Classy, Kerodin
'Pssst!? Hey, Red Mikey, can you still smell your taint on my 'stache from last night?' [More]Sheltered me: I actually hadn't run across that word before and had to look it up. Juvenile and vulgar, which is about what I'd expect. And to do it while Mike is dying reveals all anyone should care to know about this creature Kerodin's character.
That's why I'm posting this. I've purposely stayed out of their public feuding and even though I'm Mike's friend have left Kerodin alone because I believe a man should fight his own battles (except for one time to point out that Kerodin telling Glenn Beck he would follow unconstitutional disarmament laws contradicted his blog posturing). Plus, I didn't see anything Mike couldn't handle. But he is no longer in any condition to expend precious remaining energy properly defending himself, so I will presume to speak for my friend this once.
That picture was taken at the 2011 NRA Annual Meeting. I know, because my brother-in-law and I took Mike to Pittsburgh. Contrary to Kerodin's obscene insinuation of a relationship, this was a chance photo taken at an exhibitor booth. I had no idea who the other person Kerodin accuses of being a "White Supremacist Employee of the State" was until I did a photo search.
That would be this gentleman here: Pretty impressive CV. It turns out he was at the booth because he was "helping a buddy." It also turns out that he later became a Kerodin supporter who had "a blow up" with Mike over that. And it turns out he later had a change of heart and said he "should not have believed Kerodin’s BS [and] Mike was gracious enough to accept my apology, and that was that."
That pretty much tracks with Wirecutter's experience. I guess hell hath no fury like a Kerodin scorned.
There's one other thing I'm going to point out: I'm continuing to get trolling comments reveling in "Red Mike's" cancer, wishing an agonizing death on him, and taunting that the only good commie is a dead commie. Most I don't allow. I have called attention to a few just to illustrate that only a sadistic coward with irreparable mental problems would obsess over doing that. And I can't help but note a main instigator of that sentiment, again having this permanently posted while Mike is preparing to pass:

Court’s Denial in Machine Gun Case Ignores Second Amendment Purpose

Disregarding for a moment the corruption and tyranny-spawning obscenity that is "the War on Drugs," I couldn't argue with anyone claiming an urban black busted with "19 pounds of marijuana and guns" would receive more than probation. [More]

Save your prayers to open your own eyes, "Rev Dr" Peggy Cecil-Hinds. [More]
Maybe you can start by reading a sermon.
Gee, "progressive" Raw Story treating Christians with something less than Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule this time out. That's a departure from standard practice.
Gotta encourage those idiots to keep being useful, I guess...

It's All in the Algorithm?
The other day I did a piece on Donald Trump telling slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry's brother he would "open the books on Fast and Furious."
That's significant news, as it has the potential to get answers that the House, Senate, courts and media have so far not been able to elicit. It also explains how this could be a campaign issue due to questions it opens up about the State Department's involvement while it was under Hillary.
The piece appeared on the news search results within moments of being published. Today it is gone.
Searching by article title, by my name and by Kent Terry's name yields no results.
This is the same kind of stuff that used to happen back in the days when Mike and I were the only ones reporting on gunwalking. It's hard to believe it's not directed, and that this was not an intentional removal.
Meanwhile, other "conservative" news outlets who have been asked to look into this story and determine the truth of it themselves have all seemingly gone into "not invented here" mode, and of course no "Authorized Journalists" are even going to learn about it now that it's removed from news search results.
In any case, the end result is the news is being suppressed. Disappeared.
This is why I ask regular readers here to take a moment and share links, with like-minded friends and with news sites they frequent. I'm asking it again, right now. Will you?
UPDATE: It looks like a lot of my recent stuff has been booted off, including this exclusive.
Once is happenstance...
UPDATE 2: Several people have contacted me to tell me they can find it. I said under the NEWS tab. That's the place stories recognized as newsworthy are placed, providing an advantage in terms of being noticed and picked up by other outlets and people looking for media sources as opposed to sources that don't meet the content guideline and authorship criteria.

UPDATE 4: And it just disappeared again. Something is going on.
Turning Up the Heat
Now, in a dramatic turnaround, thirteen Republican members of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee Republicans sent letters to 17 state attorneys general and eight environmental groups requesting documents related to the groups’ coordinated efforts to deprive companies, nonprofit organizations, scientists and scholars of their First Amendment rights and their ability to fund and conduct scientific research free from intimidation and threats of prosecution.
