I reserve the right to call anyone I please a fucking Nazi.
Nazi, please!
Oh, all right....
Not really, my wife wears a "swastika" around her wrist. But she's no nazi.
As it turns out, those hiveminded shitfuckers stole a perfectly good bhuddist symbol for their inhumane campaign.
You're attempting to linearly seperate a nonlinear issue. It will not work.
Man, I bet dinner time is fun at your house...
You are Quacking up the wrong tree...(see my post below)
He does not understand Linearity, Non-Linearity, or Separation of Variables.
He is just another Innumerate American.
Besides the Navajo Native American Tribe also used that Symbol to represent the Universe. They were Oceans apart from the Bhuddists....but perhaps Spiritually Entangled...as all Humans are...as Entanglement forms the basics of the Quantum Theory of Nature.
Listen to the Beatles' Walrus while pondering Entanglement.
I see. Do Nazi's ever wear disguises? Wouldn't a Nazi first have to accept Nazi attitudes in his mind and if so, wouldn't that imply that one is a Nazi at heart before any manifestation of Nazi dress or demeanor? If that's true, then different manifestations of Nazism, like different cultures could express the same acceptance by different people everywhere.
I kind of wonder ( in a very peripheral way ) how this fuckin pepperspraying pig feels about it now that he sees his picture becoming iconic. If he is aware at all..

Read this......he feels REALLY REALLY BAD !! To the tune of $38,000 crazy.
I wonder the same. Any reason why his name could not be tagged to the pix so that google could appoint him his deserved "fame"?
His name is John Pike
(Zerohedgers begin to roboticly repeat)
His name is John Pike...
His name is John Pike...
In Operation ZeroHedge you have a name.
His name is John Pike.
Well, I agree, it IS hyperbole - I don't think we're at the same level of fascism as WWII... we're more like Nazi Germany circa 1935? You could still leave then, and the outright slaughter hadn't quite begun.
Give it a couple of years, though, we're well on our way to the point it won't be hyperbole.
It's funny how virtally every .gov person you meet will say - quite truthfully - that they abhor fascism... and then go back to the office and beaver away 9-to-5 to deliver it.
The level of fascism, as you note, is a function of time. Therefore, the comparison is NOT hyperbole, but rather a timely warning that ought to be heeded.
Especially since there is no escaping it, thanks to currency debasement (same as it ever was).
But no, charges of hyperbole will continue to obscure until it consumes us all.
This time it will be quicker, more indiscriminate - swarms of single-use drones using all those hollow-pts they've bought.
Yeah, tell that to Merkel and the Germans NYT!
.gov is only violating basic precepts of The Constitution and employing NAZI/STASI tactics against their own citizens.
It's hyperbole because forcing every American to buy health insurance and be tracked, and recording phone calls and private communications surreptitiously, and drone strikes in Pakistan and elsewhere, have no resemblance whatsoever to the NAZI's.
*cough*
that's because the nazi germany story is part of the new global religion, holocaustianity... and you are not permited to compare what is happening now to the sacred time because it has now become myth, and any comparison to modern times takes away the power (to mind control) of that myth.
What the holocaustians do not appreciate is that the time to act was early on when the ordinary Germans said we had no idea what small seemingly inconvenient encroachments on our civil liberties would lead to. And later when they realised what happened gradually, it was far to late to do anything.
The expression became, keep your mouth shut and look the other way or it's off to the camps.
So let's not be frogs in boiling water and call it what it is, a violent fascist klepto corporatocracy.
"What the holocaustians do not appreciate is that the time to act was early on..."
He's making a list,
Checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice,
Adolf Hitler's coming to town!
people were distracted somewhat, people were put in camps for their labor. a lot of them weren't jews. the nation was on an insane course for industrial output, (sound familiar?) the economy was not allowed to slow down, (so they printed money) and fascism came about because after the depression private industry was shutdown (no profit, no business) so the fascists promised to make the trains run on time. the nation wanted to get people to work, and there were no private sector jobs, so they rounded up able bodied people (and if you weren't willing or able to work they did away with you finally)
the German people didn't start out to persecute, that came alter. if the US had left Europe alone, which a lot of Americans thought they should, the German solution would have gotten their economy moving again. eventually private business would have come back, and people would have had real jobs, not cc camp jobs. (which wasn't too far from the FDR program really) but the war was too much for tiny Germany to handle, and the Russians, and the thing imploded.
the American stasi seems abhorrent largely because the economic solution is not coming, and we are heading for our 3rd Reich moment.
Reichstag fire = 9/11
Hitler's cult of personality ~= Obama's cult of personality.
...NUF' SAID...
Hitler's face in the balloon overseeing the spraying was a nice touch.
You know that guy just got $38,500 workers comp settlement for his suffering. The sprayed students got about $50,000 each.
In America, everybody wins !!
That piece of shit cop should have been beaten by a mob and lynched.
More likely he'll be rehired with back pay and awarded some kind of Public-Safety-Officer-of-the-Year Award. Pricks.
That video in its entirety is actually quite fascinating from the standpoint of what sort of impact a peaceful yet determined "mob" can have on a gang of costumed thugs who know deep down that they done wrong.
Like most, I only knew the headline, the short clip of the pepperspray act and the iconic image shown above until recently when I went on youtube and watched the whole video. The protesters shouted down the cops with chants of "SHAME ON YOU!" for minutes on end... the cops start huddling together and backing away sheepishly and the chants morph to "YOU CAN GO!" as the cops recognize the situation for what it is and continue to retreat. Cheers erupt from the crowd of protesters when they realize they've won. Peacefully. No stones. No molotov cocktails. No fists. No lynching. An no arrests (as far as I know).
Take 8 minutes out of your day and watch the whole clip. Brought a tear to my eye.
"Brought a tear to my eye."
...he said, without a trace of irony.
I watched a cop freak out once when he was nearly surrounded by "SHAME!" chanters, as he held a kid down on the pavement waiting for backup. He pulled his pistol out, first waving it around at us, then putting it to the back of the kid's head, threatening to shoot him if the crowd didn't stop chanting.
That was when I made the tactical decision to get out of the area.
I don't think I'll be going back to Philly anytime soon.
Anyone know if the pepper spray company is being sued? This would complete the circle of hypocracy.
Not quite the circle would be complete if the pepper spray company sues for future lost revenues due to the press generated from this, and they win a judgement.
"Look at me, I'm committing a crime with a badge on! WHEEEE!!!"
Reminds me of some guys in the Fed, with a money printer set to 11 "Whats awesome is that anyone else would get arrested by the Secret Service for doing what we are doing right now!"
Assume the position and hold still, that is!
Nice pepper pic
And the pepper spraying cop gets 38k for "depression and anxiety"... (shaking head)
no shit, really?
this really is Rome 3.0 isn't it?
So what's the problem? Peace officers get PTSD from beating the peaceful pubic to a pulp as well. They also have rights, ask any liberal.
The French should demand the return of the Statue of Liberty.
Up yours pigs!
This is a WB7 Fine Art Print.
And as you can see the printed colors live up to the Fine Art calibration.
I should think THAT would make his manhood contract turtle-like up into his groin.
He does not have any manhood as he is not a man. Obama is a Mangina.
Merkle's a hottie compared to his wife.
When I think of the immeasurable sacrifice of our armed services over the last 100 years, it is such a sad reality that this government has made a mockery of everything we stand for. Pitiable.
Useless, imperialist foreign wars were a mockery of everything we stood for to begin with.
That's closer to the truth....
Really. You might be speaking German, Japanese or Russian otherwise. And this blog wouldn't exist because the freedom to do it would not exist. I see why each generation must learn it themselves as reading it in a book or seeing it on an old news-reel just isn't enough. We used to stand for something and something was worth dying for. Now I'm not sure who we are, but I don't like it.
Really?....or Vietnamese or Farsi or Serbian....or Urdu or Arabic or Korean?
