"Because when it's serious, you have to lie."
And by serious, I mean the possibility of getting caught in a previous lie.
"Sooner or later they will see him bleed an know that he is not a god and not worthy to be the King. They will come for him and tear him to pieces in the mountains of the the Hindu Kush" Quote from the "Man Who Would Be King...Of The USA."
One of my favorite stories and movie.
That's not a moon! ...man.

Possibly at the SEC.
As always, you have outdone yourself WB.
LyingKing is my new personal favorite. So good... so good.
Mine also.
WB - getting better all the time.
You know what is cool about that picture. The lions mane already looks like a barcode.

Idi Amin! That's harsh but necessary WB7.
Well, I damned near managed to get myself arrested all for wanting to take the kids a minor league baseball game this evening and do some tailgating with a grill. OH HELL NO! You see, only special people are allowed to have control of fire because who knows, I might just burn down the world by grilling a few brats under a shade tree. It's too late tonight for me to write what that blog is going to be about. One thing is for sure, though, we have some serious police state going on. No wonder I like to stay home and NOT SPEND fiats. At least the kids had fun though and so did Mrs M to a point. I behaved myself because I just wanted to watch some baseball on a summer evening. I only wanted to take a break and chill but that is not exactly how it turned out.
I will offer that I am getting good at telling .gov "officials" around this neck of the woods where to hang it. Even Mrs M was surprised and impressed. Both children were right there listening and learning. Mission accomplished for Dad.
I think .gov would be happiest if people didn't go out at all except for going to work and shopping.
I couldn't live in a place where I couldn't relax outside with a smoke and maybe a beer. BBQ is OK. When they stop you or basically attempt to coerce you from taking pleasure in life's little things, you are living in a prison.
Their favovorite is when you go out to pay their taxes. Better ROI for them than shopping.
State's response seems appropriate if your were grilling your brats in public.
Should teach the kids to behave.
sarc-on/off
way to go! - give them hell, but dont get arrested
They are chasing us back into the house. In a rare instance, I go to coast. Twice a yeare these days. Last 2 times, I was ticketed for speeding (where are all the signs? they put 55 on a straight flat highway, and 70 on a road under contrustion, all incogruent levels, up 3 inches as a lane is paved before another, no shoulders, fucking big rigs ; we are all braced against the steering wheel on that 40 mils of bad road called Highway 99, the road to depopulation, but I digress. I get a speeding ticket and he insists on it. he takes it from 75 to 65 in a 55. (No signs) Me? I have 85 thousand miles on a 12 year old car. ~Nissan Sentra~
Whatever. I get to the beach and immediately find the only place to park left. Get comfortable with my dog (s) only to hear a cop yelling at me to move my car (out of 70 other people)...guess it was the dog food on the floor of the front seat. I have to move the car, right away. I hate rules.
Then the last time, expired sticker. I had a bad year. Get to beach and 4 hours later, back to car to find a group of cops in confernece by the bathroom (Pismo Beach). They stand there will I get the gang situated. I drive to leave parking nlot and a motor cycle has his lights and sirens on and in speaker saying: Pull your car over to the side of the road." Fix it ticket. A lecture. He could tow my car and have my dogs impounded, he tells me. What do you say but the truth, I had a bad year.
I am shocked at the length they go to when so much other more serious crime is unsolved, even dismissed. It is an unfriendly atmosphere. Being a tax payer who tries to abide by the law, it greatly disturbs me to be treated so condescendingly, with an air of arrogance and contempt, as if I am a member of a herd of cattle. Others are
the SD police have a new procedure, for "beach" tickets. if you agree to do community service they'll tear the ticket up. since there are more ways to get tickets at the beach than there are grains of sand, it seems we will all be wearing freeway orange on the weekends. unless of course you actually want to take your ticket to court, where the judge will look down at you in disdain, for not being amenable to a "little" community service. the whole thing strikes me as extra-judicial punishment, but then i gave up on their beach a long time ago.
Take a drive south for about 45 minutes. Enjoy the day in Baja, the beaches are great and you will experience freedom here. Many are coming back here and enjoying it.
You can always run through the sprinkler, sun yourself in your own yard near your own frig containing your favorite beverage.
Maybe your Ex-Wife is dating an NSA guy?
That's harsh but necessary. I second that!
Came across this today on facebook (yeah I know) and was actually shared by a few friends. I do occasionally get glimmers of hope and this was one:

I know I have to look at Mt Rushmore again. ;-)
Look at Mt Rushmore from the canadian side too !!!

Fantastic, WB7
On a side note? Last night I was thinking about Edward Snowden, and what flashed through my mind?-- I thought of your genius and how you and only you could make it work [please take no offense, or if it's already been done]:
"On a Whim and a Prayer?": An analogy of 'Ben Hur', the movie, starring Charlton Heston as Moses. Moses comes down from Mt. Sinai with the Ten Commanments...'Two Stone Tablet' written by the hand of GOD! Moses finds his exiled tribe exulting a 'calf of gold' as a diety with debauchery and drunken immoral wassailling. He... Moses is so taken back by the sight while he was gone, that in anger he throws the 'Ten Commandment's' stone tablets upon the fallen tribe and desroys the bad-lot?
Now,... what I'd like to impress upon, is Edward Snowden as a modern day evangelist such as Moses... with Snowden coming down from Mt. Rushmore [something/somewhere symbolic?] with a superimposed Washington D.C. in the foreground, holding a notebook tablet in each hand. The right raised holding the "U.S. Constitution'[notebook tablet] , and the left hand raised holding the 'Bill of Rights'[notebook tablet]. Thusly, raising his arms upon high in anger and throwing 'Notebook Tablets' down upon the Washington establishment... destroying the architectural structure of a fallen-democracy!
jmo Thankyou WB7
It's funny how that media are desperately trying to vilify and paint Snowden as some kind of treasonous ego maniac.
All we know about him is he is very very intelligent and understands the constitution very very well.
Now we see how the whole world does not like the reality he has to reveal since they are all either engaged in is the same things in one form or another, aspire to do so or are commercially enslaved by the US and as such must Blackburn their principles.
Now we hear that the NSA spied on the EU delegations and the morons in Brussels are outraged. Has anyone of them thanked Snowden for revealing the evidence that confirms this?
Could Edward Snowden be our modern day Paul Revere?
Ed Snowden is becoming one of my favorite writers. Great plot and incredible intrigue. Hope he writes more....lots more.He seems to be garnering world wide attention. Apparently the rest of the world does not like the US Government snopping on them. It is kind of impolite. Oh and spying was often taken quite seriously by governments in the past.
I suspect all we have to do now is observe who DOES NOT complain and we will know who is on which side. Those who get to share the data will remain quite. Those who will be hurt by this becoming public knowledge will keep mum.
Asymmetric information is the best kind. You got it and no one else does. Why it could even be used to bribe and intimidate. Even those with nothing to hide can be front run or their plans foiled.
The morons who claim they do not care will soon learn that they should have cared.
now the media has a brain cramp, since one of the top generals leaked details of the Iran cyberattack. media brain cramp is usually accompanied by aphasia, the inability to say "military support for Al Qaeda Rebels in Syria" for instance. they often deal with their cognitive dissonance by appending a statement at the very end, in a quick and superficial manner. violent protests in S.A. during Obama's visit are a footnote at the end of the story. they know people only hear the lead. advertisers know this . PLEASE DRINK OUR PRODUCT, responsibly.....
these things are carefully managed, most people have no idea, more goes into directing the evening news than most movies. (at least those with Sanda Bullock in them) the media is controlled primarily by its audience.
since they rely more often on found footage, their programming is more like Tosh.O than Walter Cronkite (who used to buy footage of the Vietnam war from embedded GI photographers) so their job is to supply context. process data into information.
all this business of spying on our allies more than our enemies is not new. the greatest intelligence threat to the US is and always has been the state of Israel.
and the Cold War was always our government against the people. second epiphany of Dr. Strangelove
We all need to believe in heroes, we want 'hope' from Edward Snowden, and from his sometimes pal (the obsessively pro-Israel, anti-9-11-truth !) Julian Assange
But this thing is not holding together
We have apparent 3-way bickering now among Ecuador, Assange and Wikileaks, and Snowden ... when the whole Ecuador thing does not make any sense anyway (see below)
---
Reports of Ecuador revoking Snowden's travel documents under US pressure, and Ecuador and Assange embarrassing each other
And even worse, Al Jazeera reports Edward Snowden is negotiating to go back to the USA
According to his father Lonnie, there is an offer to Obama's gangster Eric Holder, that Snowden will go back to be on trial if he stays out of prison before the trial and does not have his freedom of speech banned during that period.
Father also claims son Snowden is being 'manipulated by Wikileaks'
Russia should prevent Snowden from returning to the US on grounds he needs to be prevented from self-harm as a crazy person
Sad, either way ... whether Snowden really was a CIA 'limited hang out' shill from the beginning, to deflect from the Israeli role in NSA and other agendas ... or is just a total idiot now

So Edward Snowden and his friend, the very pro-Israel Julian Assange (who despises 9-11 'truthers') ... they are 'dissidents' who want refuge in Ecuador ...
Where Ecuador's President Rafael Correa ... tried to imprison and bankrupt a newspaper publisher who criticised him ... who was forced to take refuge with Panama, ha !
And where CIA whistleblower Philip Agee says the Ecuadorean police are in the pay of the CIA ... and they tried a coup d'état against Correa in 2010 ... after a successful coup in 2000 in Ecuador ...
This CIA-police country, is the 'refuge' choice, and not a more secure place like Russia ?
And Snowden is interviewed and promoted by Mika Brzezinski, daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski of the Trilateral Commission - Bilderbergs
Brzezinski is the most senior US foreign policy figure, architect of US wars in Asia 'Great Game - Grand Chessboard', advisor to US Presidents for 40 years including Obama ? ...
The same Brzezinski who even admitted Wikileaks was a CIA operation ... trying to embarrass gov'ts outside of US-Israel
It is possible that Assange was either a dupe of CIA, or himself earlier CIA but things went sour when Assange went rogue ... so Guardian and NYT, first his big fans, did a 180 degree and suddenly start bashing him, and Assange is holed up in the embassy, rather trapped from admitting his earlier CIA role or that he was a dupe
Putin may well have figured things out
Article by a guy in Bolivia: « Operation Assange 2.0 was bound to fail, as miserably as its first part ... Ecuador, Really? »

I'll tell you what I find most annoying about Assange's involvement. He is obviously an opportunist and has his own agenda.
Yet there are so many big mouthed liberal, progressive and libertarian organizations screaming about how Snowden is a hero. Have any of them stepped forward to help hilm? Are they on a plane to Moscow?
And what about all the other hypocrites keeping their mouths shut because all seems hunky dory for them today?
Bank Guy - Who cares who is running "operation" Snowden? The results are that he is the #1 headline maker / whistleblower. Nobody has done more to awaken and direct anti state anger than Edward. Everyone likes some privacy and dislikes being spied upon. That feeling is universal so he easily becomes a natural hero.
The other great part of the Snowden narrative is his lover did not betray him like Assange's lovers. It's easier to trust a guy with a hot girlfriend who did the smart thing and got out of the spotlights.
The Edward Snowden story is flying high and I am enjoying it immensely. He is shredding MSM believability.
He's #1 whether you like it or not.
(partial Wakanda repost from other thread)
But IF Snowden was retired with extreme prejudice, and IF metered releases of relevant data were not available...
This would fade to Pitch Black.
FWIW, the internet may be faded to pitch black - sooner than we expect.
'trust no one'...
Always a good policy.
Moar fodder...this-is-simply-delicious...
"With every twist in the global cat-and-mouse game with Snowden, the administration has to struggle to keep its plan to take on China over its hacking of commercial secrets from being upended by damaging publicity.
“It’s now going to be a lot harder to convince people in South Africa or Indonesia or Brazil >>>that we are any different than the Chinese,”<<< said Adam Segal, a specialist in cybersecurity at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Ya think?...lol.

I don't believe anything that is being said right now because I don't believe anyone, including Al Jazzmen, Stars and Stripes and Veterans Today which I avidly read all the time, has the story except possibly Glen Greenwald.
What is clear to me is the dregs of the media are mainly focused on playing "Where's Snowden" instead of reporting on what the fucking documents mean.
The only thing I believe with a very high degree of certainty is the authenticity of the documents. Documents that do not paint a very flattering picture of Stasi USSA. An unflattering picture that is consistent with everything we have suspected all along. They are in absolutely everyone's fucking underwear drawer.
Just a matter of time before some Patriot farmer parks a truck load of fertilizer in front of the new data collection center in Utah or one of the other data collecting centers.
They may scream "terrorist" when it happens, but we know it will be something else.
After that occurs, we will go hungry as .gov will outlaw fertilizer.
Maybe, but I believe that it all will collapse with the dollar.
They will then just resort to the tried and true methods of guns, camps and trenches.
Foreign powers and/or the new nations of North America will then take over the data centers.
That's my position: it's all a lie, as there is no way to prove otherwise.
Therefore I have fallen back on the foundational truths of:
1) Everybody is born with his natural rights of Life, Liberty and Property and the unalienable right to be secure from aggression against same.
2) The Constitution is the only and supreme contract between the American people, the states and the entity it created, the US government.
3) Anyone violating either of the above are criminals and need to be brought to justice and the guillotine.
4) Doesn't matter what any of them have to say about anything, as their crimes make them just criminals awaiting justice and anything they say lies to save their heads.
And the underlying question for all people, but especially Americans, is: Does one wish to be free from them and their criminality or not?
a trail of Snowden would be more embarrassing than a trial of Bin Laden. US authorities don't want him, and would probably be happy to give him a new secret identity like Whitey Bulger, so they can pretend they don't knwo where he is.
he's a subcontractor Banzai. the New York Times has the right focus but the wrong storyline. making this "all about the Government" is totally ridiculous. Even President Obama knows this. (my personal view is that the wolves are starting to circle on this Administration...which i actually think is a bad thing...but we'll see. the VP has been "in an undisclosed location" for some time now!) so who's being set up again? Snowden et al might be in a very powerful position right now but it's really hard to say. i do agree he doesn't appear manipulative or "conscionable"...just seems to be a straight shooter actually. "very dangerous indeed." but we'll see.
They really are stuck in a corner. Notice how they are focused on ad hominem attacks instead of explaining all the revelations, which they can't because they are obviously true and indefensible. Enemies of state? Everyone and the entire world as well.
Instead they are now trying to use a hacker boogey spy smear campaign on him. He ain't no renegade hacker running denial of service attacks. He is very focused on the right issues. And so is Greenwald, who among other things, happens to be a very capable lawyer.
So this is really a nitemare movie script for the spooks and their private sector partners. All of whom deserve every bit of scorn that is coming their way.
Biden is probably hiding so he can step into the ring if his boss winds up getting the boot. Why should he tarnish himself with all this bullshit that is surfacing.
Fun to watch ;-)
FYI,
Glen Greenwald speaks on the events of the past three weeks.
42 minutes long, but worth it.
https://soundcloud.com/producermatthew/glenn-greenwald-discusses
This is absolutely true.
Does anyone in their right mind think we are safer just because Stasi has collected everything we say on-line or over the phone?
Spying on BILLIONS of people for what? This has more to do with a Hoover-style blackmail list than any damned terrorist list.
People better wake the fuck up.
