The "Showtime Syndrome" and Police Thugs

Check out this set of stories about police thugs in several different "police" departments around the Empire:

The "Showtime Syndrome"


I once felt it necessary to concede to people, when talking about these myriad cases of brutal assaults on innocent people by the so-called "police," that there was at least the slight possibility that these cases are the exception and that most "police officers" are dedicated servants of the law and their communities. I no longer am willing to concede this point. The police in America have been militarized so much that they are no longer "police" at all but are really an army of occupation. Excessive use of force is not rare but common, and violence is the first response by these thugs at the slightest sign of resistance by the peasants they rule.

I have less than no use for the police. I have never been helped by the police and would prefer they were disbanded completely, or at least disarmed. I am far more afraid of being murdered by government agents than I am of private sector criminals.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
