"It's Over For Me" Matt Drudge Warns Public "You're A Pawn In The 'Ghetto-isation'" Of The Web
The very foundation of the free Internet is under severe threat from copyright laws that could ban independent media outlets, according to Matt Drudge. "I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge, warning web users that they were being pushed "pawn-like" into the cyber "ghettos" of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
"Reclusive" Drudge says he has not had a photo taken in 8 years
During an appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Drudge asserted that copyright laws which prevent websites from even linking to news stories were being advanced.
“I had a Supreme Court Justice tell me it’s over for me,” said Drudge. “They’ve got the votes now to enforce copyright law, you’re out of there. They’re going to make it so you can’t even use headlines.”
“To have a Supreme Court Justice say to me it’s over, they’ve got the votes, which means time is limited,” he added, noting that a day was coming when simply operating an independent website could be outlawed.
“That will end (it) for me – fine – I’ve had a hell of a run,” said Drudge, adding that web users were being pushed into the cyber “ghettos” of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
“This is ghetto, this is corporate, they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return – nothing!”
Watch the full interview below...
Drudge warned that social media giants like Twitter and Facebook were swallowing up content and strangling the organic growth of independent Internet news platforms. Automated news aggregators like Google News also came under fire.
“Google News – hello anybody? The idiots reading that crap think there is actually a human there – there is no human there – you are being programmed to being automated even up to your news….a same corporate glaze over everything,” said Drudge.
“Stop operating in their playground, stop it,” said Drudge, asserting that people were being confined by what the likes of Facebook and Twitter defined as the Internet as a result of this “corporate makeover” of the web.
“I’m just warning this country that yes, don’t get into this false sense that you are an individual when you’re on Facebook, no you’re not, you’re a pawn in their scheme,” concluded Drudge.

His Sunday night radio show was one of the best things ever aired. I miss it terribly.
Everything is awesome!
TPP Marx the ultimate 'red' line of our times...where supercapitalism meet supercommunism to form superfeudalism.
Organize and politically oppose this abomination before it crystallizes into the feudal prison it was designed to be.
Non-resistance is feudal
Now I don't know if I can trust drudge report because hes on Bill Hick's Infowars now.
wouldnt surprise me one bit if the ZIO-American-British empire (aka the neo east india company) used drudge to overturn Glass Stegal........
afterall, drudge is a jew-neocon zionist.......

You cannot regulate individuals' capacity to utter numbers. Just like AOL and Compuserve ghettos have failed, new ones will too. Just like repressing e-gold and the Liberty Reserve has helped the emergence of Bitcoin, this repression will fail too. Just like shutting down Napster hasn't prevented Torrent, we will continue to share. Just like harassing Kim Dot Com has provoked the creation of dozens other online file servers, copyright laws are dead. Just like the catholic church has failed to supress the dissemination of Luther's pamphlets, so too will the Internet allow a new era of liberty to emerge.
If you try to hold water in your hands, it always ends up spilling sooner rather than later, and in every direction. Next, you just use a glass. To say something volatile will never be contained is overconfidence. Yet again the govt has primed us to believe volatile agents are always free, with the failed war on drugs due to their incompetence, for instance. Then Trump proposed an actual wall. It might not stop the cartels, but it will damn sure slow them down to a crawl, and it would even be cheaper than how much was spent on the war on drugs alone in the past 25 years.
They aren't even able to eradicate drugs in maximum security prisons; how could you imagine that such control is possible in society? Same thing with the utterance of numbers, it cannot be stopped, short of North Korea-style violence. Internet censorship is failing in China, and has already failed elsewhere.
Similarly, the biggest advantage of socialism is that it doesn't work, it always fails, regardless of the quantity of violence you invest to counter nature.
Thanks asshat. Really on topic.
Americans need to excersise their constirutional rights and start shooting tyrants now, before it's too late.
12:55 to 14:15 - must listen.
Brilliant, you got me. We would get along great. This is TOP SHELF, Fletchy humor, brother!
Funny how Matt laments the groupthink on certain websites, yet panders to groupthink for his profits.
If you cant see that Drudge is NBC for Ziocons, you arent awake.
Alex Jones? Really?
At least NBC hires reporters and creates content
Most news producers hit the Drudge for their show prep.
Then they hit the Daily Democrat Talking Points.
Then, they find the Kitten Story of the Day for the 30 seconds of filler needed between weather reports.
Today's NBC = Need Better Comrades
(how can we beat RT in the ratings)
Biblical Prophecy?
Are you that gullible (easily deceived by religious shysters) and naive (by being a Hedger, so, that should know better by now)?
Pretty interesting, I watched the video and much of it is very good. At the end, it turns out to be a $37 survival book with forum access. However, the video is really worth watching.
A couple of observations: both Nenad's comments and the captioning in the video seem to originate from an eastern European/Russian native speaker. So, this may be a joint psy-op effort between a very serious and well grounded christian and a russian propaganda team, (also christian, but with a different agenda).
Secondly, the producers don't get the timing of the Shemitah and the opening of the seals of Revelation 6, which definetly show the 6th seal opening in this recently past Shemitah. So the producers are early by at least 7 years, and probably more like 14 years.
Other than the timing being way off, the thing is very good.
And I'm ahead of this curve, as my Avatar might hint.
Drudge is a closet gay who hates himself
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Matt_Drudge
says an Obama ball fondler
He has an egg fetish, it's said. He likes to smear raw eggs on a young man's body and lick it off (true story, it was in the press years ago but he sued to make to go away). Another gay in the GOP closet. Pathetic bunch of repressed losers.
Drudge's traffic has been falling for years. He has an auto-refresh on his site every 3 minutes to boost traffic numbers and con his advertisers. Scum
Let's face it, he is irrelevant to all but a small rump of far right morons. He's history. This huge whine is to get attention. Call the Whaaaambulance!
Drudge stars in Brokeback (or is it Drudgeback?) Mountain!
http://i.imgur.com/8HXH1c0.jpg
Drudge of the Fudgepacker Report!
He is so, sooooo gay!
http://i.imgur.com/1nGUSDn.jpg
Sounds to me like a leftard has a real problem with gays. Isn't it amazing that nobody seems to give a shit about him being gay but you certainly do. Sound like a closet Nazi to me, scumbag. Or as you said, pathetic, repressed loser.
It amazes me how the filth on the right can get all chummy with queers when it suits them. You'll tolerate them when they are playing along with your demented script, like you tolerated the blacks picking your cotton. But if Drudge ever came out of the closet, his site would be shunned. Right? F**king hypocrites.
Why would you tolerant pro gay marriage leftards care so much if he's gay or not? You're more likely the closet cocksucker
Just remember, you neocon fools, that when you go to Drudge for the news, the fingers that typed the news onto his website smelled of a Miami rent boy's ass. Keep that in mind!
so?
gonetogalt,
Thanks for your insightful post. I enjoyed it.
Now please, watch this. Then, let us know your take on it.
It's very short.

Escrava Isaura,
Hi there next-door neighbor to the south, I couldn't say it better than Bro N.
David Duke has a great 30 minute u-tube video dealing with the 'Great' Dr. Scofield, ex-snake oil peddler, tool of Rockefeller, etc if you can find it, I lost the link in a hard drive crash.
To flesh out my firm belief in cliff notes, and why I'm sure the time line in the video above is wrong, I'll paste as little as possible of the following: (Apologies to Tylers)
I assume anyone reading this post will have read 'The Mystery of the Shemitah', and hopefully, The Islamic AntiChrist". My post will seem pretty outlandish to believers who are unfamiliar with these concepts. Easy to order online, I've spent hundreds giving them away. Better ROI than giving to a 501-C-3 church. Yes, anyway the timeline is this: Rev 5 v1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. (relevant thing is the scroll written front and back) Rev 6 v1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, "Come and see." This happened in 1889 by my reckoning, an unpublicized meeting of wealthy men, bankers, Jews, who committed themselves to the Zionist agenda, that is, coordinated use of money and power to establish the Jewish state in Palestine. Essentially putting in motion the precursors to WW I, Bolshevik Revolution, US Federal Reserve, Media dominance, etc. 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. So, as on one side of the scroll everything that Cahn describes as related to the economic effects of the Shemitah are happening, on the other side of the scroll this is happening. The signal event of the 1st horseman is the Russian Revolution, the bow represents a military prowess and the crown a kingdom. This took 28 years (4 Shemitahs corresponding to the 4 legs of a horse) to come to completion. 3 When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see."4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
Global revolutions, CIA, MI6 vs KGB and the great sword being the atomic weapons age, 4 Shemitahs later, 1945. 5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine."
Corresponds to the end of Bretton Woods, the final abandonment of any pretense to back currency with gold, silver, anything of value. So (1973, 4 Shemitahs from 1945) when the great disparity of wealth between the elites and the working people began to grow, and the advent of 3rd world famines.
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." 8 So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth. ( 911, naturally, 4 Shemitahs from 1973) 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. Al Queda and ISIS really get on a roll. ISIS is USA/Mossad created & armed and will morph into the Beast ridden (controlled) by the Harlot described in Rev 17. So now that the 4 horsemen are finished, this thing progresses at the rate of the 7 year cycle of the Shemitah, this seal opened in 2008 at same time as the 2008 meltdown/Lehman Bros Bankruptcy. 12 I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. 13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. 14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. 15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?" So, if you've followed me so far, you see the 6th seal opens in about 3 months...I love the smell of brimstone in the morning... With the 70th week of Daniel opening in 2022... And as an added bonus, The year of Jubilee starts in September of this year and runs through September of 2016, you know, the 49 year cycle of land redemption from the Jewish Lunar Calendar...This time it's shaping up to be a doozy of a war. I assume, but don't know, the great economic collapse widely predicted for this year will be triggered by the great earthquake that begins the 6th seal. I suspect that this will be a regional event, (not the global event of Rev 16 v18) I also assume it's no co-incidence that 'Jade Helm' terminates just in time to go full operational in mid-September. I also just realized this weekend how ISIS and the Anglo American Zionist empire is specifically mentioned , check this... Rev 17 v1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
A careful reading of this chapter shows a remarkable description of the US's relationship with Islamic Jihad in general. Whoever said "The natural enemy of Judaism isn't Islam, it's Christianity" was right on. Did the Zionists inflame this divide to induce the post-Christian West destroy the Islamic nations for Israel's security, or did the Zionists inflame this divide to induce the Islamists to destroy Christiandom to make way for Israel's future world dominance? Or Both??? The Zionist Agenda is for the Messiah to rule all nations with a rod of iron from Jerusalem, they're intent on bringing it to pass. Rev 17 v15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.(US,UK,etc) 16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire.(ISIS) 17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth." Chapters 17 &18 are pretty descriptive of New York, not only the financial center of the world but also the corporate head of American media, exported in TV and movie media setting global social standards.
Rev 18 v17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like this great city?' 19 They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.'
Although Christians are exhorted to abandon the Harlot now, partly because quiet submission is tacit support...It's clear that the final destruction comes after the remaining Christians are removed from this world, even though:
Rev 18 v4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Post Script 10-10-2015 I now question whether the 'Rapture' applies to all Christians...maybe the 2 witnesses and the 144,000 only... but definitly occurs mid-70th week. And the Americans who let this go on so long will surely pay in blood. "BEWARE THE LAMB!!!"
Wow. A lot to digest there.
Not sure what to make of it. Or, if this is the best way to understand our current situation.
Anyway, we can go at it in further discussions.
Thanks for your reply.
Direct quote from the link:
"This is short documentary, and it has been banned from all American countries. Why?"
How many American countries are there?
Didn't watch the video. Did watch Bro. Nathaniel's though. I am not a believer but do like Bro. Nathaniel.
I believe there are 57...at least that was the number advanced by one person in the recent past.
*wink*
35 I believe. Why? Does America somehow only mean the U.S.?
You do realize that the continents in this hemisphere are called the 'Americas' right?
Sorry, I don't usually nit-pick, but I'm a little pissy today.
stupid dumb dumb.
Post-scriptum, of course that is not to say one shouldn't resist attempts at regulation and control. Even if such control ultimately fails, it still wreaks death and suffering before it does. Plus truth and resistance are the only moral answers to deception and tyranny.
How does a wall stop the cia from flying in drugs through our major airports?
\
He says a lot of awesome things, but then he goes and does the ZionJoo routine daily. It's sickening.
How the fuck did you get 9 thumbs up? The wall is to stop the invasion, not the drugs. The invasion is infinitely more harmful to me as an American than whatever drugs gets smuggled across. There shouldn't be a war on drugs but there should be a war on INVASION. We don't have a sovereign nation as long as we don't have borders that are defended.
The wall is to keep you from escaping the prison.
"Then Trump proposed an actual wall. It might not stop the cartels, but it will damn sure slow them down to a crawl,"
Another dope that's never heard of a tunnel. The stupid wall will slow them down only as long as it takes for them to build a tunnel, which opens the faucet more than it ever was. The wall is already as much of a failure as the drug war itself. Don't be stupid enough to fall for it.
5 down arrows without a cogent reply.
Cause the bitches cant.
thats called evolution, jeff;)
refuse to be terrorized.
and btw, i "love" FB, imagine all the fb-dudes would be suddenly homeless and flawing the net with their crap...;)
What the hell is FB? You love FB dudes? Is that "F- Buddy"? I only have a flip phone, so forgive my lack of understanding in the idiocy of the want to post pics of my meals and want to be tracked in all things posted crowd.
Systems created by humans can always be hacked by humans...
The free flow of information will continue, they can pass all the laws they want, they haven't the knowledge nor the intellectual understanding of the creative innovation of things to come to even begin to stop it.

That comment was so F'n stupid I logged in to down vote you.....
Trust or not he is telling us what we already know because we actually think and pay attention.
He isn't talking to us, he is talking to the brain dead sheeple, which is a waste of time.
As long as nobody cuts off their social media the narcissists won't go ape, cut that off
and the whole country will be torn apart by 20 something girls who's engagement has a web address.
a lot of down votes by the mis led masses. maybe hes hicks, or maybe he's not, but he is a bonafide liar
AJ plays provocateur at patriot rally, then blames them for causing trouble

AJ interviews truther legend Bill Cooper, then lies and trash talks him after hes dead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfM7xlivCXI&index=1&list=FLnG3QAO4mwWQXi...
There is something WRONG with Jones. You cannot refute the above video evidence. All thats left is deciding what it is hes up to.
The interview of David Duke by Alex Jones is not to be missed. Here is a review of the interview and links to it:
http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2015/08/david-duke-on-the-alex-jone...
saw it, but thought best to leave that sleeping dog lay, lest the message get jacked from AJ is a provable liar to a suspicious but ultimately unprovable zionist/antizionist screaming match
of note. Alex is running big donation pushes but hiding the fact hes getting taken to the cleaners in a million dollar divorce settlement.
how many patriotic donors would like to know their hard earned cash being given to save america is being funneled to pay off his ex wife?
BTW, how does someone downvote video evidence in the above post? AJ said what he said and did what he did. I have nothing to do with it. If you don't like it, take it up with him. If you want more, feel free to look it up yourself. they keep scrubbing the vids.......just like AJ did with the duke interview.
I am an occasional visitor to AJ. He has made some very interesting points long ago that are now mainstream. He was also offered some 13-15 million dollars to join the US psyops's game a while back and he flatly refused (so he stated). Maybe they doubled it, tripled it, or more...what is 100 million dollars to that group? As with all things crazy, the truth is even more so.
that would be classifiied as false opposition. 90% of what you say is limited hang out of truths that are/will be coming out eventually anyway, all in order to sucker you with the 10% lies
like setting up a mark by letting them win a little at the beginning in order to set them up for the big kill.
now that jone's jewish minder wife is leaving the picture, lets see if he has any change of reporting of the "who" is responsible for so many things.
You can oppose/demonstrate until hell freezes over.
They only understand cash flow.
When they execute their stranglehold on info, once again it's very simple.
Disconnect.
if it's over, why not identify the supreme court judge. that is a much more interesting story.
Where's Anonymous when you need them?
Playing fantasy football. Wait till the Congressional Hearings start on this topic. O-M-F-G....people are obviously making too much money there.
Bring it bitchez......we're not Australians and we're not British.
We're Americans and we love to fight.
Come and take it.
Primarily - I look to see whats going on here and on Drudge.
Matt is gay BTW......not that it should matter.
Are they really gonna go there?
They open up that can of worms.....are they're gonna have to finish every last one of them.
So you sucked his dick, or he sucked your dick? Both?
Did you get lost on your way to Huffpo today little fella?
Ain't anything worse than the Huffing-glue Post.
I don't know about your area, but when i look at America, I see a LOT of fat people who only care about football and beer, if that.
they work for obama
my guess is scalia
That was my immediate thought. As for naming them, only 2 of them apply so it isn't important to name them.
Jeff
Drudge was really sticking his neck out by saying as much as he did. Had he identified who it was, his lifespan may have been shortened considerably.
If they were going to croak Drudge, he'd have been dead years ago.
I suppose they figured after Andrew Breitbart, Michael Hastings and Tom Clancy....someone might notice.

Yes. Vernon Jarrett is Valerie's father....thanks for asking.
Breitbart built the Drudge website, so of course he is careful.
He knows what happened to him and why.
This from the guy who uses what others write without paying and "earns" millions of dollars. What a hypocritical shitbag!
Every content maker online wishes everyday that they will be drudged. It is hugely beneficial to the content creators. Media companies try to cultivate relationships with Drudge in the hope that he will link to them. Beyond that, curating a quality list of content is a creative process that requires an immense amount of effort and creates a shit-ton of value for readers.
by way of example:
This page: http://www.theextranational.com
is more useful than
This page: http://nyt.com
This is true. In 2010 there was a non-establishment Senate campaign that hit Drudge and raises millions in a matter of a day.
Getting linked by Matt Drudge is absolutely a good thing. The so-called copyright complaint is a fig leaf of the agenda to essentially establish a protocol to shutdown any discourse that the powers that be do not want.
I'm not so sure that this program is as far along as Drudge suggests. Then again, Obola is openly mulling executive orders to end private firearm transactions, so maybe he is right.
Executive orders, as a soft rule, do not last far into the next regime change.
Presidential Pardons, are the icing on the waning POTUS term .
It's how Legacy Libraries are built.

Oh, let's have a guess: Ruth Badder Ginsburgensteinwurtzenstein.
A modern American hero and symbol of critical thinking, freedom, and independence.
He must be eliminated.
This is exactly what the brilliant young Aaron Schwarz spotted at its early start. He saw the danger, spoke out about it, took action, and got attacked by a government swat team. He was a threat to their wild abuses.
He did everything he could to hold off the NWO as it started to choke off information through the inaptly named Justice System. He was one of the greatest IT minds to wlk among us, and a truly decent man as well. For his valor he paid with his life. What a puerile pack of government guttersnipes to snatch his life.
and they are overjoyed that he's been eliminated, they have no empathy, only greed of money and power
next target
His name was Aaron Swartz.
https://archive.org/details/TheInternetsOwnBoyTheStoryOfAaronSwartz
Thanks for the spelling correction. His name should be more widely known and appreciated as .gov destroys the free flow of information.
Whenever a revolutionary force takes over the first thing they do is control information and transportation. This is to keep the target population in check. Of the two, information is the more important. In the past, only control of the media was necessary, with academia and social systems being gradually absorbed into submission. The internet has upset that cozy little arrangement, so it will probably get incrementally controlled as well.
And now you can't even talk about climate change on Reddit
who teh fu*k uses reddit?
I finally went on reddit recently - holy shit, the place is overrun with the ultra PC and social justice warriors. Should give them a pass, as I believe they are mostly a bunch of millennials brain damaged by shitty parenting and a crappy educational system.
But holy smokes, what a bunch of dumb asses.
I don't worry about Twitter too much, seems like it will be going away in a few years or sooner. How about Apple? Worse than FB?
Harvard's ‘Drone Olympics’ aims to change negative image, 'excite the public'

As an engineer I dislike Apple because their monoculture will inhibit hardware R&D and they are by far the worst of the big companies as far as patents goes (for nearly every Apple patent you can clearly see there is no underlying research but it's just some scattershot claim staking of upcoming technology, often technologies which their competitors are actually researching). On the other hand, they are only interested in selling hardware and getting skim on every item bought and sold through iOS. Advertising is small potatoes to them, it's not worth sacrificing their image of protecting privacy. To them privacy is a commercial advantage and commercial advantage is one of the best drivers for corporate behaviour.
They are more competent in following commercial advantage than Microsoft ever was, I doubt they'd put in a NSAKEY without a literal gun to someone's head. If you want to worry about anyone worry about Microsoft, with their move to make Windows datamining software.

Sadly, your visual statement might be prophetic. It would not surprise me at all to see children's books and media become part of the overall desensitizing trend we see in society. Many in the younger generation will grow up thinking these things are completely normal.
Ingenious, insightful, and mentally stimulating (as usual).
Kudos Banzai.
They already think the crosshatch clouds are normal.
I got the joy and privilege of going to the Courthouse (Hall of Injustice) last week to visit the County CLerk. Usual metal detector with table and sleepy Securitas hired rent-a-cops in the lobby. The three little blonde girls all aged under 10 waiting in line in front of me were EXCITED to be able to take off their shoes and coats and one ASKED to be wanded! They think it is fun!
Do they have to (get to?) do this every day at school before they eat lunch? How do you program into a 6-year-old EXCITEMENT about going through a metal detector, emptying your pockets, being wanded, and half-undressing?
so funny! ... and a little scary

(actually I stopped half way becuase my dogs were freaking out at my screaming at the monitor)

So your saying Hillary is about to sing to us?
I don't see anyone being herded into social media; the narcissistic zombies practically trample one another to get there......
i live by the seaside and they are taking pictures of the rising sun over each other every non overcast day.
can't really complain because many of them are hot girls.
Hot girls are way overrated. They're OK but my world doesn't stop for them.
Honey trap. More seductive than social media.
Most guys I know who use Facebook do it for one of two reasons: pussy, or their wife makes them.
You are repeating yourself.
Not really.
A) to get pussy..although how FecesBook gets someone pussy is beyond me.
B) the guy is a pussy.
I'm an old guy. Chasing pussy was twenty years ago. I'm on facebook for two reasons exactly: 1.) to interact with family and 2) to try to inject a bit of warning to family and others.
My prior facebook personna got a bit too ambitious and FBIGUY showed up. So I'm meeker now, but still push the warning.
(And I'm still flabbergasted to have instant communication with someone around the world, To me this is like the 1960's Star Trek Communicator. My prior personna had over 18k 'friends' and I don't know what followers are but there were more than 18k, My screen name expanded on what I use here and many liked it for it's simple humor. So I had people I didn't know wanting to friend me. I didn't care. If it turned out to be some spammer I'd block them. However, even with the humiliation of facebook banning my prior personna, the FBIGUY visit (an hour with my wife before I got there, and she flat out refused to let him in the house, having to spread the word to my extremely and highly secured son in Afghanistan, and the rest around me [I don't hide anything, I spill the beans on myself before anyone else does.]
Explained to the employees that are in our office <including the owner, and Officers>, in a public meeting that I lead, why I was banned from facebook and the subsequent events. I am an open book in actual, real life. I share it all. (Wanted or not), the ten year earlier MSCHAT with NSAGUY over my comments to my son while he ws doing some mission with SF as a civilian specialist (he accomplished the mission, and to test it he contacted me, pinged the computer and locked my internet, I couldn't do anything but chat with him for about thirty minutes. In the chat I mentioned that we should drop a nuke starting in Syria and march them in a ten mile wide grid right up to the Russian border. That's when NSAGUY popped up and scolded me about making such comments on an unsecured line. Had a brief argument on jurisdiction that boiled down to me telling him to go fuck hisself. Son still doesn't believe me), my predictions made in 2008 that my aide ticks off from time to time and dubs me the 'Prophet of Doom'.
So I continue to try to warn and educate an insignificant part of the population that doesn't want to be disturbed in their sleep. But I've been pretty damned effective in what I've got these days.
You're also an asshole. I didn't appreciate your late night charades a couple of weeks ago.
I do my best to offer personal insight with out judging others.
For the most part, I stay out of religious and political situations.[for exactly these reasons]
You seem to just pop-up out of the blue, and Tee-Off on your target. Is your existance that pathetic?
I'm your friend, not the enemy. :-D
Yes, I am often an asshole. (My wife will declare I'm a permanent asshole.)
But I did not mean to offend you. I respect your posts, and expected you to take what I wrote with humor.
Since you didn't you have my sincere apologies. I like what and how you write. Reading others sometimes gives one the feeling of unjust freedom to insult in a friendly manner.
Feel free to offer a counter insult beyond "asshole", wind up, do your best, I can take it <lowering chin and inclining to the left>, best free shot ever. I am really sorry to offend you.
{oh, and make it epic, as I know you can!}
And as to popping up out of the blue.
I have an answer for that. I work some late hours. By the time I get to read ZH and the comments, most have already gone to sleep. I'm out here on the left coast, scrolling through stuff and find something that tickles my fancy, so I post.
Beer and Tequila assist in the asshole department.
Sometimes, in normal hours, 8-5, I have to wait for some shit to happen and I have the opportunity to read and post, but from 8-9/10 or so I'm sorta busy, usually, and start appearing around midnight commiefornia time. So I'm usually late to the party.
They say the Northern Lights might be visable this weekend.
When I was a kid we camped in this place called ? very high in the Sierras, fishing for golden trout and such.
Magical places where air meets pine trees.[ ancient shale slabs] The white mountains are also beautiful.
I don't remember the name but I once went out past Lone Pine to a meadow in the Sierras. Had a stream coming through with huge trout just chillin', wouldn't take bait for shit. Was with a troop of boy scouts. When we woke up we were surrounded by deer in the camp. I got up, woke my son, and the deer followed us out of the camp. The buck must have known it wasn't hunting season, he stood on a nearby high spot to watch us. Every doe came by to be petted.
Those back at camp thought we were some sort of 'deer whisperers', I just didn't want a bunch of deershit in my coffee.
While I don't remember where we were, I do remember the trip back home.
We packed our shit back in the Ford Contour, drove to Lone Pine and turned left to go see the Bristle Cone Pine Forest and Methusela. I'm sporting a huge white beard (I actually look like Santa Claus if I let it grow). Drive up to the Bristle Cone Pine Forest reserve and get out.
Some guy comes running over to me. "you look like you know what your doing, can I ask you a couple of questions?"
"Sure, who are you?"
"I'm, (some asshole, forget the name) with National Public Radio." I'm unimpressed,
"Nice to meet you, we were just..."
"Let me ask what do you think of Los Angeles?"
"In what context?"
I forget what the contraversy was at the time, I do remember my answer.
"Well, Los Angeles is an anomaly. You have this tremendous city in the middle of a fucking desert, they have no water other than what they suck off the colorado river and it will ultimately wither into what it originally was. They have a natural port and an ocean, but they have taken no steps in desalination, have taken no steps to mitigate the oil leaking onto their streets, parks and beaches even though my dad remembers having tar on his feet as a kid in Culver City, and seeing a mass of pumping mules set up to remove the excess oil. And LA thinks that oil will somehow effect the environment while it's been literally leaking out of the earth there for thousands of years...shit, there's a tree at the La Brea tar pits that you can actually see the oil flow up the tree, then out on a limb, to drop back onto the, living, green grass below it.
{I think this was just after 9/11 as I ponder it.}
"We could do without LA, I don't work there, and about the only thing they produce anymore is pornos. So, yeah, if they're nuked, they're nuked, I could give a shit except for wind direction at the time. If that happens, I hope DC gets a triple dose."
Needless to say, I once was on NPR, in a heavily redacted couple of seconds. All due to looking like Santa Claus to some NPR douche.
Rest of the story is that we went back down the mountain and, at the ten thousand feet level, my older son made me stop, got out of the car, and beat the 10,000 Feet Elevation sign into submission Ripped it off and jumped back in the car. We went down the hill and instead of turning right back to Lone Pine, we turned left just for shits and giggles.
After ten miles or so, the road narrowed to a one-lane cleft, the canyon walls came down into a narrow channel. I have no idea why FDR's CCC or some other agency didn't simply blow them up, but there it is, one lane to get through a slot in the canyon. Then we drove a long ways. We passed ghost towns and abandoned vehicles. One van looked pretty recent, so we stopped to check it out. Every window had been shot out. But there were still suitcases in the back, and vehicle registration in the glove box. (Called much later to report it.)
We're going along this alpine road that is gradually descending back to high desert, I drove I don't know how long, but we eventually got to an intersection. Left was the 95 to Reno and Las Vegas. Fuck, turn left.
Now for the past four hours or so we've been teasing my younger son about getting merit badges with hair around them. We've been making up shit like the beaver patrol and the shocker...he's goody-two shoes and we laid it on.
We're on this road that we have no idea where we are, and I'm trying to get him to, at least, check out a whore house...get the menu, take it back to the troop and be cool about it. No freaking way. This kid's got a stick up his ass a mile long. So we razz him to the next intersection about twenty or thirty miles north.
I look to my right, my older son looks to his right..my goody two shoes son looks to his right.
"God damn you, Dad! I AM NOT GOING IN THERE!"
To our right was the Moon Light Bunny Ranch.
Sadly, we didn't go in, but we did stop at the Top Secret Area 51 cafe.
I wish there were more dads like you nowadays.
That's a sad thing to say.
I imagine there are more are many more asshole dads that are unappreciated for what they attempted to do.
I'm no one special.
You're "good shit", Old Phart. That sounds pretty ugly, but I figure you're worth it.
Yep, exploring those old silver mines can be fun. Ever been to Bodie?
Well back when I was a youngin, that mine was frozen over. WE, us kids wanted to go in anyways. It was like a small Ice skating rink, and the ghosts.
I was in 5th grade on a field trip, and will NEVER forget it. Spooky fun, and we all got out of the mine alive. {common sense}
Yes, I've been to Bodie. And had some teacher come up and ask to take my picture on one of the walls. I looked, umm, fucked up enough to fit in with the town. You should check out Calico, now that Knott's isn't involved, my first Boy Scout adventure was there in 1968, when there were mines all over the place. They're sealed up these days. No one is allowed to go back to the one mine that has gold and silver. They were supposed to empty out the reason for the town.
Calico is a lot of fun. I did both of those in the mid 70's.
The pussification of America is sickening.
I'm not naming places, but there's lot's of old silver mines in the White mountians.
When I was in school we'ld go 4 wheelin up the old mine roads during lunch break.
Hell, we made sure we had 4-5 guys to make sure the truck didn't roll so we weren't tardy.
I have my place in Queensland, but I might move back up north. Everyone knows everyone forever.
+100 for the interesting anecdote and the reference to natural oil seepage. Most people don't know the stuff was originally discovered in OPEN POOLS ON THE SURFACE OF THE GROUND. Indians in Northern Alberta used the stuff to waterproof their canoes. It's been seeping into rivers and lakes from visible natural seams for eons, yet we're supposed to panic at the very mention of the word "spill." Agenda 21 booga-booga brainwashing is turning the bedeviled masses into a bunch of malleable neurotics. No wonder they want us "densified" in urban centers. Can't have young people exploring the natural world and figuring things out for themselves!
[chin is still out there]
I'm taking it as a misunderstanding?
Or are you waiting to find me vulnerable, swoop in and knock the shit out of me?
Looking forward to it.
Did the FBI & NSA dudes smoke reefers whilst visiting, or did they prefer bong tokes instead?
I sure hope they brought their own bud & rolling papers, those parasites.
You're clueless.
The age of the selfie.
Employers are desperate for selfie addict skills......
I review candidates selfies...those that have huge tits, tats and piercings are referred to HR.
(HR is always scolding me, they have no fun in their lives.)
social engineering, they developed the zombies like the tobacco industry developed smokers
I never smoked and don't FecesBook.
When in college I laughed at the fraternity guys who were trying to recruit me. My line was - why would I want to join people who were willing to make complete douches out of themselves in order to join other guys who were big douches a year ago.
My college, Commuter U, didn't have old school fraternities. Most of us had jobs and real lives (I had a real life, jobs were intermittent <find other posts and link here if I'm ever sober>) I joined the Accounting Association (not a fraternity) and Alpha Kappa Cactus (Psi, a real fraternity) because I had learned that membership to either made you more attractive to CPA firms. And my butt-ugly, 35 year old, white, male, ass needed a shitload of makeup. 27 unit quarters had my GPA down to 3.66666 so I was borderline for consideration.
My hazing consisted of wearing a tee-shirt for a week...sixteen classes. I was in. What I didn't know was how desperate I was for any sort of social interaction with human beings. I was so isolated and focused. When I joined it was another tickmark off the chart. But I had a sort of relief when I started to tell them what I was going through. Having my twenty year old welfare caseworker, as a fraternity pledge with me, that made me jump through hoops with mountains of paperwork to prove I worked, was a bonus.
I'm not all that concerned since there is SO much creativity, energy, and utter comtempt against enslavement or infringement among the peoples of the world. There is nothing to fear from ossified control freaks who believe that their power is INVINCIBLE....Those days of invincibility belong to a by-gone era...
And then you woke up.
See, that's the spirit.
Not a fan of Alex Jones, but this interview is pretty freaking good. Drudge was slinging Slurpees when he broke the blue dress story. No really. He was working at 7-11 when he broke the blue dress(Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky) story. That was it. Totally shattered the MSM fascade. Matt Drudge and Andrew Breitbart are two true patriots from my lifetime.
Has he ever been more than a news aggregator?
Drudgtaposition of links is a powerful, dark art that few have pierced.
But that doesn't make Billy mistaken.
Thank you. An upvote for and and one for TBT as well for his ingenious wordplay.
His ability to pick appropriate photos is unsurpassed.
yes he had sources early on and had some breaking news
Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. I wonder why he stopped doing that. Was his "breaking" of the Lewinsky scandal part of this original content or did he simply link to other media? If he just linked to others why does he get credit for breaking the story? Just asking.
Other news organizations were sitting on the story I believe.
The whole Lewinsky affair was a zi-op on Clinton to get him back on track for the zio-agenda. Lewinsky is a documented mossad op who played her part. The idea that it was meant to be kept quiet and covered up is a plotline for a YA novel.
Let's assume that your ridiculous proclamation is true. If it is then it proves that Clinton endangered everyone in this country by engaging in behavior that exposed him to blackmail. Your theory ultimately states that Clinton should never have been President because he was too stupid to keep his pecker in his pants. Maybe we can take your worldview a step further here and say that not only was thie Lewinsky affair a "zi-op" but also too was Clinton's promiscuity as the jews are probably responsible for that as well? Or is the point here that Clinton should have been able to engage in this unscrupulous behavior without worrying that his adulterous targets may have been foreign agents?
Molon fucking labe..........excuse my french
It's all Greek to me but when in Rome...
