Delusional



From 6:43:
"But we recently...an organization I work with called 'Guns Down' did a poll and actually asked 'How many likely voters and how many gun owners would support a program where you were required to turn in your assault rifles to the government if the government would buy it back, it had over 65% support, including among gun owners."
This is the bullshit Glaze and fellow travellers are peddling and offering to the media for propagation and amplification.

That must be why Question 1 lost in every county but Clark and then only passed by <1% despite 20M of Bloomberg dollars blanketing the mass media with disinformation designed to exploit the uninformed.

But no one's talking about taking your guns.

The Conundrum

What if a consortium of alternative media established a news agency along the lines of the AP? [More]
Well, not too closely along those lines...

But he's dead nuts on about defining the MSM problem and he's right in principle. Without a capability to do investigative journalism, alternative media is limited to rewording and opining on the fare offered by those with such resources.

I like the idea of a consortium, but having some experience trying to herd cats in an environment plagued by infiltrators, disruptors, the indifferent, the closed-minded, the apathetic and the willfully ignorant, I'm trying to envision the requisite demand needed to sustain such a venture. That and there would need to be transparency over decisions on what to cover, how much, and what not to cover, as well as openness about disagreements over such decisions.

And in the words of my least favorite George Harrison song:

But it's gonna take money
A whole lot of spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right child

Aye, there's the rub. And not the only one.

In a world of comfort zones surrounded by seemingly impenetrable walls of illusion, how much of a market is there for the truth?

Shall we ask Pogo?

"Authorized Journalists," just like politicians, get away with it because "we" allow them and reward them. And that gets back to

I see Western culture, which has had all the advantages, believing in the most bizarre things, committing suicide in spite of reality being right there in front of everyone's faces. Of the handful who do partially see through both the engineered and the self-imposed fog, I see less cohesive unity than I do hostility and rancor -- some of it planted by those with an agenda to create discord on behalf of either their own nihilism or as operatives.

Maybe we're not going to report our way out of this, either.

And all that said, I admire and applaud the rational goal of pursuing the truth wherever it leads. I pray that the prophecy is fulfilled.

But that alone won't get 'er done.

Dear Oregon OSHA,

Per your "Hazardous Materials" training document:
Unless they have blood in them; tears, vomit, urine, sweat, feces and nasal secretions do not spread HIV or Hepatitis B and C; However, they may spread other diseases. 
What "other diseases"? And who is qualified to make the determination that such secretions are blood-free?  "Artists"?

That's a workplace, right? Subject to hazardous material regulations?  And while the "art" in question may be indistinguishable from their staple product, are there any special health rules for handling large quantities of presumably human waste in a beverage-producing facility? What about training for safe clean-up if breakage results in a spill? (That happened in tank testing, you know.)

What exactly were the public and Lucky Labrador employees exposed to? Do you know?

And how about rules to transport such materials and to ship "limited editions"? Or is that an ODOT question?

NY DA Vance Cites ISIS as Reason to Disarm Countrymen while Unvetted Foreign Nationals Given ‘Sanctuary’


As for Vance’s charge that ISIS will benefit if your right to keep and bear arms is recognized and honored, it’s fair to explore what’s wrong with immigration and refugee policies that allow unvettable foreign nationals into the country in the first place. But rather than address that problem, New York City, under socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio, has proudly declared The Big Apple a “sanctuary city,” and pledged to fight President Trump’s travel restrictions (which we should be learning more about later today if the Supreme Court weighs in as expected). [More]

The Infringement Continues

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take a case about the boundaries of the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms, by saying it will not review a California self-defense law. The petitioners in Peruta v. California who asked the Supreme Court to review the case called the controversy "perhaps the single most important unresolved Second Amendment question" left to come before the Supreme Court. The high court's action on Monday will leave that question unresolved. [More]
Meaning Americans will remain disarmed or face the risk of having their lives destroyed.

Australian Gun Owner’s Proposed ‘Happy Medium’ Overlooks ‘Shall Not Be Infringed’

Some of us aren't “sporting shooters.” Some of us are fighting for nothing less than freedom and we know what’s at stake. We also know that the gun-grabbers will happily accept any incremental concessions they can swindle us out of and then complain about how “extremist gun nuts” are unwilling to “compromise.” Cede to them a beachhead without a fight and they’ll use it to launch their next incursion, because their long-stated goal, before they felt compelled to mask it, is to have it all. Any sop thrown their way in an attempt to appear “reasonable” makes about as much sense as throwing a scrap of flesh to a circling pack of jackals and expecting them to go away sated and to leave you unmolested.
