Iraq War Veteran Tossed Out of RNC for Disagreeing

INTERVIEW WITH MCCAIN HECKLER ADAM KOKESH.

Kokesh, a passionate Ron Paul supporter, is 26 and a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. He served in Fallujah in 2004, grew up in Santa Fe, and currently lives in Washington, D.C. He has a website.

At the beginning of McCain's speech, Kokesh held up a sign reading, "McCain Votes Against Vets" and yelled, "Ask him why he votes against vets!" I followed as Kokesh was escorted out of the Excel Center by security, handcuffed by local police, and then briefly questioned while security debated whether or not the Secret Service would get involved. They did not. He was then escorted off the premises and allowed to go free. I interviewed him just outside the security gates, where he was greeted happily by antiwar protesters.

I Reject Your 'Reality'

Tonight I was reading an article over on SyFy Portal, Taming the Technological Beast by Dan Compora. In it he mentions some of the man vs machine paranoia stories that have been told in print and on screen

Which reminded me of the Butlerian Jihad from Dune. Up until tonight I only knew what the six Dune books and the Dune Encyclopedia had to say about it.

Here is a compelling and horrifying story. A story that strikes deep in the heart of our animal selves: our fears for our children. And it's not a simple story by any means.

Now go read the official version

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's a cheap knock-off of lesser ideas grafted onto one of the most amazing stories ever written.

I write and read fan fiction and I love it and believe that it is a good (as well as legal) thing.

Yet, after reading this horrid re-imagining of the Butlerian Jihad, I want to scream and shout that no one should ever, ever be allowed to add to the canon after a creator dies.

You might already be reading the regular Vogue's September issue that your mailman delivered to your door.

But with the right connections you would have gotten the magazine-transformed-accessory sent to the media last week as a promotional issue.

Vogue decided to take their accessory fetish a step forward and covered the September issue in plastic, attached a blue leather buckle to it, and there you have it a new fall stylish accessory!

Our philosophy

When Resurgence started, over forty years ago, it tackled issues that were only just filtering through to the mainstream debate. Articles were published on the endangered environment, renewable energy and ecological economics. E. F. Schumacher wrote regularly about the perils of chemicals in our food, the simplicity of Buddhist economics and the strength of ‘Small is Beautiful’.

Resurgence continues to publish articles that are on the cutting edge of current thinking, promoting creativity, ecology, spirituality and frugality.

There is too much to read and too little time, so choose reading that carries value for the future: Resurgence

Obama, Mccain death threats treated differently by the SAME US ATTORNEY

clipper's remarks: Is anyone supprised that US Attorney Troy Eid is Karl Rove's lackey?

Clip Source: pecunium.livejournal.com

*Three men conspire to kill Obama.

They get guns, with scopes (one of which may have been stolen).
The rent a vehicle under someone elses name.
They have body armor.
They express a, violent, antipathy to the candidate.

They have travelled to the city the candidate is going to be in.

This is, "not a credible threat and no charges related to that aspect of things are entertained.

*One man, already in jail sends a nastygram to to Mccain's office.

He says there is some lethal powder in the letter, and the person reading it is dead.
He admits McCain might not be reading it.

He has no actual poisons.

This something we won't tolerate.

So, here you have it.

Death threats, from those incapable of carrying them out against the Republican candidate = charges

Death plots, with overt acts, weapons and actual plans... not credible; not worthy of charges.
