Not That I Believe In UFO’s, But…

March 31, 2011

The Evil Conservative has a story about a large UFO that apparently crashed in India early Friday morning.

In a startling development an unidentified flying object said to be carrying “aliens” crash landed near Zirakpur in the early hours of Friday morning. Estimated to be the size of five cargo ships, this elliptical object that emitted an “intense white light encircled the fields before it went down with a thud. No one is believed to have been killed or injured and the area has been cordoned off by a large contingent of the Punjab police that has been rushed to the site.

Right after the crash, radio signals were severely disrupted with cellphones going off the air for several minutes. Experts from the department of space and the Atomic Energy Commission, sleuths from the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) and crack commandos of the army’s special forces are believed to be on their way to the site.

Top government officials said the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), the US space agency, had been informed and senior scientists were expected to arrive at the scene soon.

The Bureau of Paranormal Research & Extra Terrestrial Activities in Denver, Colorado immediately released reports of some “alien spacecraft” signals being detected in the area of the Indian subcontinent. A bureau team is expected to arrive in the city in a special jet on Thursday.

First reports received from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said the recent Supermoon activity could be the reason behind “pushing” the UFO towards the earth. “The moon’s gravitational pull, which was the biggest in nearly two decades only last week, is likely to have waylaid the spacecraft,” said T Rangarajan, who heads ISRO’s special projects cell.

Noted scientist Yash Pal said the UFO could probably be a “reconnaissance ship” and that there could be more such UFOs on the way. “The size of the ship that crashed in Punjab is small. It means it’s an offshoot vehicle. The mother ship could be nearby,” he warned.

However, Pal did not comment when asked whether the world should be bracing itself for the kind of “alien invasion” that was portrayed in the Hollywood film ‘Independence Day’.

A defence ministry official said: “We don’t have any expertise or role in respect to UFOs. Neither are we aware of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms”. The Indian Air Force, which has specialized electronic intelligence aircraft, declined to comment.

Could it be possible?…Have Martians finally decided to come to Earth and straighten out the mess made by our current leaders?…If they ask for a Human sample, I volunteer Obama and Michelle as guinea pigs.


How’s This For A Kick In The Ass…Gun Control

March 31, 2011

From Fleming and Hayes;

Only in the state of Massachusetts could “blaming the victim” be extended to burglaries.  Once again, the gun-grabbing fear mongers in charge of our state are looking to set a precedent that will no doubt have national implications.

If this case goes to trial and Stanley Sokolowski is convicted, there will now be case law on the books that other judges can cite: The common act of reloading your own ammunition and the possession of the needed (and Constitutionally protected) supplies will be akin to domestic terrorism.

The following email was sent to us by our good friend, and former candidate for Massachusetts State Auditor, Kamal Jain.

In January, a home in Lowell belonging to Stanley Sokolowski was broken into, his home firearms storage vault broken into, and all his stored firearms and other items stolen.  After the crime was reported, the Lowell Police Department filed charges against the victim!

The Lowell Police are not being forthcoming with information about how many guns have been recovered, though Stan’s assistance led to the arrest of the thief. In fact, the Lowell Police Department revoked Stan’s license to carry, and they had the Lowell Fire Department declare that the quantity of reloading supplies he had was over the legal limit without a special permit [the police had the fire department declare this, meaning it is at their discretion and whim], and they are now pressing charges of manufacturing and trafficking of explosives against Stan. This is patently untrue and unprovable, except perhaps the technical legal definition of “manufacturing”.

The firearms were kept in a home-built vault in the basement. Capt. Kelly Richardson said law-enforcement officials are investigating how the man’s basement was violated.

“It was very, very secure,” Richardson said. “Whoever broke into it had some time because it was so secure.”

Richardson said the gun owner refilled his own ammunition, some of which was stolen, and described him as “definitely a collector of firearms.”

The owner has a class A license from Massachusetts to carry firearms, which Lowell Police Superintendent Kenneth Lavallee immediately revoked, as well as a federal antique license.

The Lowell Police investigated Stanley and must have found that all his weapons were perfectly legal.  If not, then he would be staring down the barrel (pardon the pun) of weapons charges, instead of an obviously trumped up charge that reeks of, “well what can we charge him with?” (Mind you, he is the victim of home invasion and theft and, he didn’t have cocaine or a weaponized form of anthrax stolen, but Constitutionally-protected ammunition-which is arguably the one thing cops and the state cannot touch…)

To say that Massachusetts is hostile to legal gun owners is an understatement of unprecedented accord, and Stanley Sokolowski is going to need all the help he can get, for his sake and our own.

If you can help in anyway please contact Kamal Jain or at the very least share this article with your friends and email lists.

This situation is something I just wrote about in a previous article about whether or not you might be a “Domestic Terrorist.”


You Might Be A Domestic Terrorist If….

March 31, 2011

….You express Libertarian views, either statements and or bumper stickers

If you hold Second Amendment rights views, ie., NRA membership or gun club membership or hold a CCW permit. ( Why anyone would permit or register their guns is beyond me.)

If you have and read Survivalist literature such as Patriots or One Second After, you might be a “domestic terrorist. ( I happen to have both.)

If you believe in “self-sufficiency” such as stockpiling food, ammunition, tools and medical supplies.

If you harbor fears of an economic collapse and buy precious metals or barter items.

If you believe in the Bible, especially the book of Revelations and the coming Apocalypse or the Anti-Christ.

If you have fears of Big Government or “Big Brother” or if you believe in the New World Order conspiracies.

Hey Moms and Dads, if you Home School your kids, you might be a Domestic Terrorist.

And God forbid if you believe in the Constitution or the Declaration Of Independence. ( I do.)

These are several of the “red flags” law enforcement are told to watch out for in their local communities every time they go to seminars put on by the Department of Homeland Security. In other words, DHS isn’t worried about Terrorists coming over our borders as much as they are about “John and Nancy” who home school their kids and keep a few months of food on hand, go to Church every Sunday and belong to the local gun club.

If you believe in the Tea Party,think politicians have abandoned the basic tenets of the Constitution and have strong anti public union sentiments, you also might be a “Domestic Terrorist.”

But if you’re Ahab the Arab, you will be welcomed with open arms by DHS in the interests of “Multiculturalism.” What a crock of crap that is turning out to be, huh?

I realize some of this stuff may seem to be over the top…but is it really?

 

 

 



Early Polls Don’t Tell You Who’s Going To Win

March 30, 2011

Stacey McCain gives a tutorial on reading public opinion polls. Ya can’t cherrypick the numbers to make yourself look good and polls taken months before elections are worth no more than the paper they’re printed on.

Random Freaking Adults (Again).

In March 2009, Obama’s approval rating was 64%. Eight months later, Republicans swept the off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey, then in January 2010 won the Massachusetts special Senate election, and rolled on to a historic 63-seat House pickup in the November 2010 mid-terms. So, in the span of 20 months, Obama went from Mr. Can’t-Be-Beat to Mr. Can’t-Catch-a-Break — but none of that could have been predicted on the basis of the March 2009 polls.

This lack of poll predictivity is true, no matter whether you like the poll result or not. Stupid people reading political polls typically make one of two basic mistakes:

  1. Cherry-picking positive numbers. In other words, “Let’s believe the numbers that look good for Our Team, and ignore the numbers that look bad.” This is how Pelosi and the Democrats screwed up in 2010. They listened to consultants and strategists who told them to ignore poll numbers showing that ObamaCare was deeply unpopular with likely voters, because various sub-questions about health care still looked good for Democrats. And I remember in 1998 how Republicans cherry-picked polls telling them how popular impeachment was, and then got their asses kicked in the November mid-terms.
  2. Chicken Little. Doom-and-gloom panic at the first hint of negativity in the numbers is not helpful. It’s easy to get scared out of your shorts by looking at polls taken when the public is in a general mad-as-hell mood. But it’s important to remember that partisan affiliation seldom swings suddenly in one direction or the other. Even when parties put forward truly wretched candidates, they still usually get their basic share of the electorate: John Kerry got 48% in 2004; John McCain got 47% in 2010. So hysterical freakouts over a downward blip in the poll numbers is almost never justified. The sky is probably not falling.

Union Goons Extorting Racine County Business (via The Underground Conservative)

Damn union goons are messing up my late Father’s home town. Lowlife scumbag sons-a-bitches

Union Goons Extorting Racine County Business This is extortion. No question about it. But will the Racine County District Attorney be brave enough to file charges against the goons? If Rocco, Nunzio and Fat Tony showed up at a business, sent by the local Mafia boss, and told the business owner: "Nice place ya got here. Be a shame if something were to happen to it," we'd know what that was. We've seen The Godfather movies. We've seen The Sopranos. It's called extortion. What gummint union th … Read More

Color Me Stoned

March 30, 2011

In a creative bid to smuggle drugs into a New Jersey jail, two women allegedly dissolved narcotics into a paste and then painted the drugs onto pages of a coloring book (featuring Cinderella and Snow White) that were mailed to a trio of inmates.

The smuggling attempt was derailed when officials at the Cape May County Correctional Center got a tip that the drug Suboxone was being sent into the lockup. Suboxone is usually prescribed to treat opiate addiction.

Globull Warming, My Ass…Over 60 feet In Sierras This Winter

March 30, 2011

Having camped and hiked in the Sierras as a kid back in the late 60′s and 70′s, this is the most snow I’ve heard of. I also remember driving from the California side of the Sierras over Tioga pass to Carson City, Nevada, but having to turn around before reaching the summit because of snow pack in the middle of July.

 

Chris Rivest’s father sent him from San Francisco to the family vacation cabin near the Sierra Nevada crest with a seemingly simple chore – clear it and the driveway of snow.

Easy for him to say. When Rivest arrived earlier this week at the cabin near Soda Springs, about 90 miles northeast of Sacramento, the snow was so deep it nearly touched the power lines crossing in front of the cabin. Snow was piled at least 10 feet high on top of the deck of the A-frame home.

“My dad wants me to clear the deck,” the ponytailed 21-year-old said Monday, as he labored to clear the driveway with a snow blower. “How do I even begin to do that? Where would I put the snow? This is absurd.”

Absurdly deep is how Sierra residents and travelers might describe this season’s snowfall, which is setting records at some ski resorts and nearing records at official gauging stations.

The last round of storms that blew across much of the 400-mile-long range during the weekend added several feet to what has become a snowpack of historic proportions, and one that promises an end to California’s lingering drought.

After state water officials release the results of their latest snow survey Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to officially declare the drought over, said Evan Westrup, a spokesman for the governor’s office. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a statewide drought in June 2008 and a state of emergency because of low water levels in February 2009.

The accumulations are measured two ways: current snow on the ground and accumulated snow for the season, which began with the first storms last fall.

More than 61 feet of snow has fallen in the Sierra high country so far this season, second only to the 1950-51 season when a total of 65 feet fell, according to records kept by the California Department of Transportation. While spring has arrived, the Sierra typically gets some snow in April, bringing the prospect of an all-time record.

Seasonal snow accumulation records already have been set at some ski resorts, including Squaw Valley USA near the north shore of Lake Tahoe, Heavenly Mountain Resort on the lake’s south side and Mammoth Mountain, the sprawling Eastern Sierra resort that attracts Southern California skiers and snowboarders.

At Squaw Valley, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics, ski patrol guides had to create tunnels just to reach their warming huts and avalanches broke out windows at two lift stations, said Wes Schimmelpfenning, 68, who has been a patrolman there for 48 years. Nearly 59 feet of snow has fallen there so far this winter, beating the old record by 29 inches.

Squaw is extending its season through Memorial Day, while Mammoth, with a peak elevation exceeding 11,000 feet, might remain open through Independence Day.

“I’m out plowing driveways, and we can’t even find the houses,” said Norm Sayler, who used to run Donner Ski Ranch along Interstate 80 and now operates a snow-plowing business near the top of Donner Summit. “I’ve been up here since 1954, and personally this has been the toughest winter I’ve ever had here.”

Snow is piled so high in some areas that it is causing some roofs to collapse and stressing others.


Roseanne Barr For President?

GBC Wants To Revoke Citys’ Charters…Too White

March 29, 2011

Georgia state Black Caucus wants the charters of a few new Georgia cities revoked because they’re too white. As I remember from my time living in Atlanta, a couple of these “cities” were suburbs of Atlanta where the country club set lives. So what if they’re too white. The rest of Atlanta is predominately Black inside I-285.

ATLANTA — Even if you don’t live in one of them, you’re probably familiar with several new cities that cropped up in Metro Atlanta over the past few years.

Sandy Springs, formed in 2005; Milton and Johns Creek the next year — all three in Northern Fulton County. Then Chattahoochee Hills in South Fulton in 2007 and Dunwoody in DeKalb County in 2008.

RELATED: Lawsuit, as filed
RELATED: Announcement of Dr. Lowery’s remarks

The state legislature allowed local residents in those areas to vote on becoming cities. Other voters in those counties had no say.

On Monday, a group of civil rights activists and African American state lawmakers sued to have them undone.

Their lawsuit claims it was a calculated move by Republicans to create mostly white voting districts in wealthy communities.

A move that, according to the suit, “greatly reduced, diluted and abridged the voting rights, political access, and the opportunity to affect political outcomes” by minorities.

“They find themselves a minority in a now, you know, 80-90% white district,” said lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Jerome Lee.

State Representative Wendell Willard, who represents the City of Sandy Springs, says they got Voting Rights Act clearance from the U.S. Justice Department before creating the new cities.

“All of ‘em were in fact cleared. We’ve met the legal requirements for the creation not only by State law, but by Federal law,” Willard said.

The Federal Voting Rights Act lawsuit also wants to prevent North Fulton County from once again becoming the separate County of Milton, which was dissolved during the depression.

So far, that bill hasn’t passed the legislature.
