Was anything done to the cashiered cop that lied about the radio. Seems to me he should be doing jail time and the previous cases that resulted in conviction when he was a cop need to be reviewed.

Is post modern America a great country or not? Just think, you get thrown in jail, undergo a trial based upon lies and at the end have a tidy three dollar profit for your troubles.

Kafka should file an anti-trust action against the Lone Deecider’s Government for infringement upon his plot lines. They’ve taken all the fun out of imagining the potentials of bad government.

If a cop tells a bank employee to suspend a customer’s account the employee will do it. I usually get charged double. If a cop tells an employee or a business owner the customer is a terrorist suspect they’ll do exactly what the cop (or cops) want. McVeigh made every angry proponent of gun rights, with a short haircut, a suspect. The Kansas city serial killer made every bogus suspect a suspect indefinitely. Roswell (N.M.) made every conspiracy theorist a crack-pot. The CIA exploited the Roswell incident. When people debunk theories about 9/11 they do it over the rediculous ones (always silent about the one where the US gov’t simply instigated the attack.)

And then there is the imminent doomsday example to justify torture: someone has a nuclear bomb in a briefcase while the FBI is holding a suspect who knows this. Does this give the FBI the responsibility to torture the suspect to save the country. The argument is convincing. The important fact is always concealed by the news media; delivering such a sophisticated compact device is nearly impossible, or, equally important, that torture is the only means available to save the country.

The bigger or greater the lie or deception, the more difficult to believe the truth or to uncover it. The people who watch COPS are mostly cops. If you watch it closely you can see the deception. Police keep stuffed animals in the trunks of their “squad” cars to give to the most needy children (image control.) Criminals on foot are miraculously caught (on tape.) The show even places some (innocent) cops in harms way to gain the public’s sympathy.

To the cautious observer the show gives it all away and sometimes reveals deceptive police tactics.

Force police to follow important rules. When they knock on your door, out of breath, demanding you let them search your home, tell them to get a warrant. When they imply you’re hiding something or you’re aiding a criminal tell them you’re forcing them to respect important principles, principles more important than the act of catching a single suspect (to advance their careers).

I’m sort of surpirsed Agent Templeton hasn’t filed a counter-claim for citizen harrassment of a federal officer or defamation of character. After all, in a nation where no real definition of torture exists, what right does Higazy have to impune the integrity of Agent Templeton who merely threatened torture?

I’m sure there are those who believe that Higazy was fortunate in that he wasn’t sent to Gitmo for 5 years prior to being released. I’m afraid his case may end up showing there is no limit on how far the feds can go. Remember, courts can’t even hear some rendition/torture cases because of national security reasons.

I wouldn’t be shocked if a court ruled that Higazy has filed a frivilous suit and must pay the government for its legal costs. Perhaps my opinion of the legal system may be clouded - I did watch Kafka’s “The Trial” on TV last night with Anthony Perkins and Orson Welles on TCM.

Ron Paul. Tear down these missile defense systems Mr Shrub. Doctor No is greater than Jefferson and Madison combined. Giulianni tries to cover him up - why.

He was smart to run as a republican. Libertarians got their foot in the door.

They can hear me on the toilet, in my bedroom and everywhere else. Everyone does anything they’re told under the excuse of either national security or crime prevention. Even judges are subservient, especially after the Kansas city (BLT) serial killer went ten years unnoticed (the pigs always knew him and where he was.)

The nearest pig was required to keep the loudest, incessant barking hound dog to condition me to stay inside. They’d put him in a cage at the rear of their property - it could bark for two hours. So now I’m psychologically conditioned to be averse to any dog’s bark. Whenever I work outside sooner or later a pooch comes out and screams. And whenever this yes-man (G-man) does this I do the same - thank you Yard Man.

In Chicago they (smoke filled back room types) installed a puppet to run the County to, of all things, implement more gun restrictions. It was the first thing he did. The worst rise to the top. His opponent was highly qualified. The news media first brainwashed the public into becoming gun phobes and hoplophobes. Then they warned the public if the higher, better qualified candidate got in the bullets would fly. Taxes are now flying.

It’s impossible for everyone to stay inside all the time, and some are gunned down while inside by stray bullets. Gov’t and journalists are insane and diabolical. That’s why I call them what they are - nazis.

My kid, after he becomes an adult will be their next target. Alone, they got him, but if I’m still around I can make it difficult. They want information.

A better society is better than a perfect one.

What was it about Joe Kennedy they hated ? The whole country needs to know everything there is to know about Prescott Bush. After that they’ll never trust anyone again. Gov’t can do no wrong.

Interestingly enough, the human brain remains likely the most undiscovered country of human existence. There are 10 Billion Neuron and 10 Trillion synapse in the human brain…..more synapse than genes in the entire organism. To further a premise, I would say that the Founder’s….. 200 years before we even began to more clearly understand what their era knew as the “Cartesian Theatre” ….well, the Founders innaugurated a way of political life , with it’s checks and balances…liberty and cooperation, independence and association….. that uniquely capitalized upon and anticipated the emerging science of the human mind. Unlike other nations, we are less a geographic construct than an intellectual one. It is no wonder then that we find ourselves stymied by interests that have successfully seduced the American Public into labeling intellectualism as a pejorative and electing a President that is not as dumb as he is defiantly incurious and intellectually defensive. This president and the bulk of our Congress has the kind of glib popular intelligence that is emblematic of the larger popular culture. Popular Culture is nothing so much as a warden of our soft jail of Conventional Wisdom.

Meanwhile, after years of being Blanche Dubois to the unitary executive’s Stanley Kowalski, the Democrat party, shorn of the urban support of widespread local vertical economies in the wake of globalism, has fulfilled it’s central role in the ongoing production of the United States of a Streetcar Named Desire. This, of course, happening precisely as the original locale of that story drowns. Counterintuition is of course, close to irony.

When and if the people of this country recall that their former Republic is a product of a celebration of the human mind….conceived in liberty…and that Free Market capitalism is a means to pluralistic expression rather than a shibolithic end in and of itself, we might bail ourselves out of the fix. But my guess is that if it comes, it will be just in time to watch ourselves blow our brains out as the climax of this Hee Haw Kabuki our one and half party system is staging to Wagnerian perfection. There will be Corporate Sponsored Luxury Box Seats, of this we can be sure. The halftime show will involve a troop of dancers bouncing encyclopedias off a trailor park parade and the crowd will love it. United Technologies shall provide the bullets and they shall be called “attitudinal enhancifiers”.

What this has to do with FBI excess I don’t rightly know but it came to mind anyhow.

Brushkutputshut II aint a reckless war profiteer, he’s quite methodical about it really….telegraphing each and every disaster well in advance, lulling the press into a wide pattern yammering cluckfest reminiscent of the pellet distribution of an un-choked sawed off before then shortsheeting everyone concerned to within an inch of their burnt-over lives. After all, he was events director at the Frat House, this requires a berserker-like discipline.

The shrub is a reckless war profiteer.
