Police Brutality Backfires

Oh no I hadn’t, thanks for sharing that video. I don’t think we would see that happen in America though.

Just depends on when and where. (As in, how oppressed the people have been and for how long.) You see this in other countries with more oppressive regimes and less freedom in the broader sense.

Lew Rockwell commented on this here.

Yeah. I mean, it’s certainly possible that it could happen here under the right circumstances. I believe it would. I just expect that if this were to happen now, that the sheep that are in America would just watch on, passively.

Agreed.

More proof we’re living in fascism.

The new Ron Paul?

Amash is a well-known Paulite. He rode the Tea Party wave into Congress in 2010 as a Paulite. He buddied up to Ron Paul as soon as he got to Washington. He was one of (if not the) first in Congress to endorse Paul for the 2012 election.

^^^^ This.

“The final results of the GOP Primaries and Caucuses are pre-determined and are created through vote
tabulation manipulation. Having worked with various programmers through the years in creating algorithms, I
find the particular one laid out in this document to be quite primitive and laughably obvious. Having analyzed
the New Hampshire and South Carolina Primary Counties like this one, I am shocked that the perpetrators
haven’t spent more resources to make the end result more believable.”

That paper Graham is really remarkable. Something fisy is going on.

Watch Bryan Caplan pawning 2 very dumb economists on Al Jazeera. It is really painful to hear them talk such nonsense, not even making any good point:

Here Bryan on his Blog about it.

If you read this Loretta Napoleoni. It is really a shame that people like you can come up on TV and can lie so bluntly. No the welfare spending in the UK is not a fraction now of what it was in the seventies before Thatcher.

Jokes:

An engineer, a scientist, a mathematician, and a philosopher are hiking through the hills of Scotland, when they see a lone black sheep in a field.

The engineer says, “What do you know, it looks like the sheep around here are black.” The scientist looks at him skeptically and replies, “Well, at least some of them are.” The mathematician considers this for a moment and replies, “Well, at least one of them is.” Then the philosopher turns to them and says, “Well, at least on one side.”

A Universal Philosophical Refutation

A philosopher once had the following dream.

First Aristotle appeared, and the philosopher said to him, “Could you give me a fifteen-minute capsule sketch of your entire philosophy?” To the philosopher’s surprise, Aristotle gave him an excellent exposition in which he compressed an enormous amount of material into a mere fifteen minutes. But then the philosopher raised a certain objection which Aristotle couldn’t answer. Confounded, Aristotle disappeared.

Then Plato appeared. The same thing happened again, and the philosophers’ objection to Plato was the same as his objection to Aristotle. Plato also couldn’t answer it and disappeared.

Then all the famous philosophers of history appeared one by one and our philosopher refuted every one with the same objection.

After the last philosopher vanished, our philosopher said to himself, “I know I’m asleep and dreaming all this. Yet I’ve found a universal refutation for all philosophical systems! Tomorrow when I wake up, I will probably have forgotten it, and the world will really miss something!” With an iron effort, the philosopher forced himself to wake up, rush over to his desk, and write down his universal refutation. Then he jumped back into bed with a sigh of relief. The next morning when he awoke, he went over to the desk to see what he had written. It was, “That’s what you say.”

During a session, a psychotherapist says to his client:
“Today we’re going to try and analyze your Freudian slips. See, a Freudian slip is when you want to say something but you make a funny mistake and say something slightly different. The analysis of such a mistake can lead to some emotions you’re in conflict with, some bad memories from your childhood, and so on. Have you made any such funny mistakes lately?”
The client thinks a moment, and responds:
“You know Doc, yeah. I made a funny mistake while talking to my mother. I was eating dinner with her and I wanted her to pass the salad, but instead I said: ‘You stupid bitch, you ruined my life, I hate you.’”
