Gun Violence, War, & War Video Simulations

There are two antiwar movements the Give peace a chance movement, and the Libertarian one. Whatever benefit is gained in infringing on the Second Amendment is lost from the way it lessens the antiwar clout.

It doesn’t take gun culture to get some of us to kill, Chimps do it and a few badly traumatized Bonobo monkey orphans, separated from their culture.

When it comes to humans there has been a dramatic hardly noticed shift since World War II. A particularly meticulous general, General Marshal, reported back that 80 percent of the soldiers never directly shot at an enemy face or body. They would carry ammunition, even risk death in a heroic mission to pull a wounded comrade out of direct fire but still not fire directly at a human being. Then came video training and civilian videos and now a perhaps 60% to 90 % increase (statistics are rough estimates) in increases in direct combat killings, and veteran suicides, and murders. Since in the old days people fell on a gun or more often than today officially accidentally shot a friend, good statistics are a problem,

The change today,

.
independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/shocking-suicide-toll-on-combat-veterans-1746475.html.

I wonder if old-fashioned war nurses that never fired or trained with guns had much less suicides or those especially Seven Day Adventists drafted 1-A-0 not 1-A during Vietnam and before ended up with far less suicides. Back before Vietnam, I dreamed of becoming a heroic Male War Nurse with the Seven Day Adventist I AO draftees. Research on traumatized Seven Day Adventist non-combatants is needed when understanding how war training, war, suicides and murder relate

If one gets mad enough to kill blood unexpectedly splashing in one’s face would make one pause and reconsider for at least a moment. Less training is more effective than less firepower in slowing gun deaths. If President Obama actually succeeded in actually stopping people from using fast guns,  a frustrated James Holmes might have pre-set a fire and hid with a long gun, shooting people leaving the theater, like the Capitol Beltway sniper attacks and Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden who hid with a long gun in the woods attacking the school after setting getting the fire alarm to go off. More incidents with less reason for anger, not more and more firepower is the problem. 

There has been a second diagrammatic shift that hasn’t been fully noticed. After the Batman movie rampage, bloggers reminded us that Batman and other comics were once thought to be decadent and teaching unwholesome values, Today due to blogs preventing belated comments it’s hard to point out that today that interacting with a computer screen day and night, nodding off in front of the screen the only diversion until collapsing from dehydration, or a blood clot getting in the way, supposedly has nothing to due with being taught bad values. Remember when Ancient Rome was considered decadent because of the feasts where people would keep eating use the vomitorium which was a was supposedly a separate room from the bathroom and eat some more. Actually servants cleaned up the slop surrounding the tables of large parties and drinking bashes. Today people have more fun than the ancient Romans while collapsing from dehydration or a blood clot. A few games like "Call-of-Duty" have breaks in the action when everyone but one is supposedly dead until a new session begins. This break in the action like the old TV addict intermissions for commercials enables participants time to freshen up during these breaks.

The far-right fringe killer who attacked at a Norwegian youth camp spent six months day and night playing Call-of-Duty before moving to the country to practice. He corresponded in a friendly way with like-minded gamers including Muslim gamers. The French al Qaeda admirer who attacked a Jewish Orthodox School, was a self-described Call-of-Duty addict as was his Muslim friends, maybe some of the same ones who would never listen to decadent western music. Though perhaps I hope Heroin Addiction is a different word then used for cocaine addiction in Arabic. If we aren’t  alarmed that little kids beg mommie to buy them that cool video game perhaps we can be alarmed  that Western haters admire our games.

Mark Bradford 46 kept being insulted by a little boys bragging insults after being repeatedly beaten in the game. He found the boy and broke into the childs home, (grown-man-hunts-strangles-boy-over-call-of-duty-game)

If it had been the boy’s male organs, that was squeezed, the the adult-only label would there after have been enforced.

Adam Lanza, the American who attacked a Connecticut elementary school, was becoming dangerously thin as he endlessly interacted with Call-of-Duty in his windowless basement bed and computer room, snarling at his mother whenever she brought some food down,

Something weird is going on, cell phone texting addicts sometimes discover that they sent a jumbled text message to a friend when they woke up in the morning, some discover later that they sent a jumbled message while driving. People sleepwalking to the bathroom at night had been reported long before technology addictions occurred. Sleepwalking can involve quite complicated tasks,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepwalking

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepwalking




Perhaps the reason some lately have collapsed from dehydration is that due to bottled water, drinking from the sink is no longer part of people’s routine when going to the bathroom at night.

For Adam Lanza, he must have quickly went on the the next game without eating first. Peter Wlasuk, a plumber who was frequently called to the mansion found two friendly kids who liked to quote gun facts until the older brother moved out. He found the windowless basement, with its gun and tank posters, and at first the two kids then one, when his brother moved out. Since most didn’t find Adam talkative I suspect Adam flushed paper towels down the toilet while sleepwalking, making the plumber a frequent enough guest to become a friend.

Just think if his mother Nancy Lanza had the foresight to include a Nutriment wafer, next to the water bottle in the  bathroom, Adam Lanza would still be down in his self-made prison cell and the kids at the elementary school very much alive preparing (if they were rich enough) their own cocoons to play video -games every moment for the rest of their lives. Perhaps an exercise bike with a timer recording miles pushed and Lanza’s mother getting snared at by Adam only when the pedals hadn’t been turned. Or perhaps the first five minutes of the latest Call-of-Duty updates to  include stationary bike exercise or a 10 minute break after everyone is dead before a new Call-of-Duty segment would started.

There was once a war against booze that drifted into a war against communism and commie tainted subversives that drifted into a war against drugs, a war against terror, now Obama is refilling the school-to-prison pipeline with a new generation of prisoners. Google school-to-prison pipeline with Advancement Project, ACLU and NAACP. Almost any human being would become a straw purchaser when cornered by a goon, especially if they partly first thought they would keep that gun to protect themselves against that goon.

Australia had positive success banning assault guns, but they had a very expensive buy back program paying top dollar for the guns already in Australia. In England however bans at first led to gun deaths going up and every slowing going down again as less and less guns were available, now with more gun games and more veterans gun deaths are going up again

Just think if the government would provide and would FedEx bottled water and Nutriment to gamers, also free heroin and cocaine to addicts and free booze to alcoholics on the condition that the would never be seen out of their homes, the US could change from being the most prison enclosed country in the world to one filled with self-imprisoned prisoners instead.

Mandating a minute break every 15 minutes of  video may stop some,i f not all of the gun rampages, especially if it could be enforced as well during Armed Forces basic training video exercises.

Every time there is a violent rampage a few blamed it on war and war games, and or violent video

One site against banning violent video like Call-of-Duty listed those Congressional Reps and organizations opposing violent video games. I think it could be very helpful in helping those of us who want sense-able video laws to find each other and get together. In the past when I posted a site for the purpose counter to what it wanted it disappeared so I saved it this time,

None Dare Call it Brainwashing

Think back 15 years or so if someone predicted that there would be people glued to an interactive video screen until they collapsed from dehydration or if less lucky from a blood clot.

A dozen years ago a formally timid, friendly easy-going lad Boyd Malvo was arrested as the junior partner of the Capitol Beltway sniper attacks. Brainwashing was the cry of the experts, but since then without counter-evidence, the experts now can’t predict or explain why.

Tyler Rigsby spent more than four days and nights before falling to the floor from dehydration (I guess eight days), other than games such stories were in the past of people trapped by earthquakes,

newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100122-248723/11-yr-old-girl-dug-out-alive-after-8-days-in-ruins

Not all computer addicts are losers, who had nothing else to live for, or with some future killers the only chance for real people to look up to them, was by playing computer games with those near or from afar. Chris Staniforth, (age 20) however was an achiever heading toward a high-paid job in computer design, already earning money as a participant in a computer game design test until dying of a blood clot got in the way.

Why can’t we go back to the days of TV addiction where people would move and freshen up during commercial breaks, even movies had intermissions where people were encouraged to buy popcorn? Public meeting, and even offices, had coffee breaks as well. If every 15 minutes there were breaks in the computer game for a public service announcement or something, at least we could have arrested Adam Lanza if he had removed them, instead of trying to find ways of putting people like him in a locked facility before they even made a threat to do anyone harm.

Remember when people avoided long distance calls due to the costs? Why can’t there at least be a tax on cell phone calls per minute while the car is in motion. It’s not crazy killers who as soon as society advances enough will put them in jail at the first sign that something is wrong, but a crazy world which lets technology run our lives. We don’t even pass a sugar tax to make up for the fact that people used to walk and run for work and recreation instead of just sitting, or put motion alarms in library chairs set to vibrate after 20 minuets of dead weight, or in classrooms where kids now work at their own pace instead of having recess together. See'High Tech Heretic by Cliff Stoll, (PS if you can’t click a link sometime I can google it, or try googling only the words in a link),

http://www.amazon.com/High-Tech-Heretic-Reflections-Contrarian/product-reviews/0385489757/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt/184-4970155-6551700?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Twelve years ago after the sniper rampage the experts thought brainwashing was the problem now with the help of computers, not newspapers, helping us think about the world we no longer have any ideas as to why, except the President thinks that banning automatics will make them disappear without an expensive Australian type buy back program. Second Amendment advocates hallucinate that enough armed good guys without any gun free zones will solve the mass killings problems. More guns wouldn’t have helped against a sniper. The attacker of the Batman movie premier would have been disappointed if he had to hide with a long gun and pre-set a little burning to set of the fire alarm and hide and shoot at those leaving like two kids Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden did. The Batman Villain carnage would have been far greater than 13 dead, with a 'snail gun' attack, shooting a rifle from afar. The NRA campaign against gun-free zones is built on quicksand.

One game never led to any blood clots despite the endless hours addicts spent at it, 'Call of Duty', a fight to death video game It must lead to participants lunging in their chairs now and then like cheering sports fans. However, despite being blood clot resistant, Call of Duty is far more dangerous than other games, with the possible exception of armed forces and British battlefield training games that lead some vets to murder or suicide incidents sometimes years later. Off the subject, the government was shocked to discover that most during World War II did not actually shoot when they clearly saw a head in front of them on their gun sites. I wonder if the later suicides are of people who with old-fashioned training never would have seen a body explode after they pulled the trigger. Computer games is life-style training, not recreation.

Frustration that a kid neighbor kept beating him, on Call of Duty led, a 46-year-old father of three to go over to his 13-year-old neighbor's house to choke him in the throat. By the way, Call for Duty is coded for mature audiences. Please everyone that doesn't want future carnage click on the following link of little kids begging mommy to buy them that cool game,

When an Orthodox Jewish school was attacked in France, the media blamed Mohammed Merah's rampage on Muslim militancy; but he was hopelessly addicted to Call of Duty,

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4205896/Terrorists-play-online-games-like-Call-of-Duty-to-plan-attacks.html

Anders Breivik who attacked a Norwegian youth camp spent six months day and night playing Call of Duty before moving to the country to plan the attack. Adam Lanza who attacked an elementary school would angrily snap at his mother every time she brought a little food down to his Call of Duty marathon, in his windowless, bedroom and computer room and windowless bath room attached.

Why do all these Call of Duty addicts pick on children? Rebuttal at the following link,

I don’t think it is freedom of speech issues in the way of putting one minute breaks in the action every 15 minutes like on commercial TV. One minute break in the action would lessen the effectiveness of interactive basic training video, and cut down on people looking for a job as a US government killing specialist. Locally, in Philly I urge anti-gun violence groups, and third party folk, especially Green Party folk, to watch Call of Duty projected on a large screen, Libertarians won't attend unless a gun debate follows the video. Afterwords some can march to where there is an arms gun shop near by a government recruitment for jobs bearing arms and have a picket at both. Only one rampage succeeded as planned and that was in Norway where Anders Breivik had the means to travel the world looking for the guns he wanted. Let's celebrate how he was unable to make the changes in Norway he wanted. Extremists both anti-Muslim and Muslim alike thinks it gets them to make necessary changes they think the world needs, and so do some with no politics at all.

Preempt the Social Security Spat, Fight Against an Expensive Plane, an Overseas Base and the Cuban Embargo

Dont forget the huge military budget



Dealing with other issues first is the way out of the Social Security fight



Now is the time to demand foreign policy cuts to avoid deadlock on domestic ones.



There was some dramatic change this election. Don’t let it get eclipsed by dealing with Social Security first, Orthodox Jews used to be Republican, Miami Cubans used to vote to punish the Castro brothers, Islamophobes lost big, people used think they were warning of danger, suddenly wonder if they were baiting and causing trouble, the Prophet Mohammad as a porn film star is clearly begging for trouble. Those who thought gay marriage and pot would destroy country used to vote without fail.



The big question is where do we place the eight Ron Paul Republicans in the house who also cheered their more than expected victories this year who tend to agree with peace advocates on foreign policy issues.



The Council for a Livable World is used to more often losing, were overjoyed this year. But they failed to elect Shelley Barkley of Nevada who despite several votes the Council approved of didn’t call herself a dove, instead bragged about getting the Democratic convention to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel, or to elect Richard Carmona, of Arizona ,who lost to Jeff Flake who happens to be the US Senator most opposed to the embargo against Cuba. I think peace won more then the peace voting lists claim.



Instead of arguing about Medicare, Congress could end the boycott of Cuba giving Americans a safe place to stretch their Social Security checks, some already retire in dangerous Mexico. Ending boycotts instantly creates jobs and tax revenue.



Its claimed people now care more about domestic issues. However, if we dwell on foreign policy first insist on closing one foreign base and one expensive fighter plane Obama might close one where we might be about to be kicked out anyway, or a plane who didn’t really want anyway. Kyrgyzstan would actually do the US a big favor by not renewing the lease on the $600 Million refueling station, as they seem to be determined to do. It is no longer called a base in response to local sensibilities. It is not impossible that we might offer a huge rent increase again, less likely if there is a corresponding demand on the part of the American people to end I,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_Center_at_Manas



Even if there is only symbolic victories, it will heavily influence the arguments next year as Americans start remembering again how much of its budget goes to war related expense.



Some may say this article is flawed, why don’t we just demand that US troops come home from Afghanistan now one of the biggest budget saving suggestions. However those we fight with, don’t long to have the US peace movement do well, even where not al Qaeda influenced, don’t work with the US peace movement like North Vietnam did, with exception of Americans coming over there to protest the drone war. Cuba will make at least cosmetic changes with a forced embargo vote to help make the US peace movement look good. Ending the embargo on Cuba would be a quick, satisfying and build confidence for the future. Nevertheless if we wait for US personal in Afghanistan to wonder if their next paycheck would bounce to get out of Afghanistan it could be extremely confusing and chaotic.



An Ominous point, the US strong-armed 600 million dollar from a Dutch bank for bypassing US sanctions on Cuba and Iran,

http://www.radiozamaneh.com/english/content/dutch-bank-fined-violating-us-sanctions-iran-cuba



No one in the world thinks the US has a right to any money over trading with Cuba. To the rest on the world it is theft or humoring a good customer. Though there is more agreement when it comes to Iran. There is no gold or even stacks of 20 dollar bills sitting anywhere representing who owns what, playing around with currency to punish Cuba, or even Iran could lead to currency confusion as the world breaks into a brawl arguing over who owns what. If two little kids start making million dollar bets with each other it might get in the way of lending some money for a candy bar and expecting it back the next day. If chaos hits, that Dutch Bank might stop humoring the US and seize any US accounts in their bank to get there money back. None of us knows exactly how much debt the world can endure without insolvency. But currency manipulation for the sake of punishment, of Cuba or Iran make the possibility of all out financial confusion that much sooner.



I am sure I got the details wrong but not the general seriousness of boycotts in relation to insolvency,



Council for a Livable World! Change your lose in Arizona to a victory by getting on the cause of ending the embargo of Cuba right now! Jeff Flake submit some new legislation to end the embargo! School of America Watch get moving on Cuba! IFCO work harder at ending the embargo not just defying it!



Elsewhere in the world people celebrate the victory of Chavez, or Aung San Suu Kyi, I had only sadness after McGovern ran for President and other peace candidate struggles. Today I celebrate, if I get others to join me there will be a lot more to celebrate in the future.




On January 14, symbolic change will happen in Cuba, Cubans will no longer need an exit permit for foreign travel, let’s make sure the US embargo ends on that date as well,

http://dawn.com/2012/10/16/cuba-scraps-exit-permits-for-foreign-travel-official/

http://www.zapaday.com/event/468280/0/Cubans+no+longer+need+exit+permits+for+foreign+travel.html



On January 20 the 609 seat Cuban Assembly will have elections I have a fantastic idea changing it to 612 seats with three seats for overseas Cubans for the three top overseas vote-getters each overseas Cuban getting one vote with the three top vote getters seated in the Cuban Assembly, so US Cubans can demand the US set up diplomatic relations for an embassy in Washington and a consulate in New Jersey and Miami.



If Cuba and the US suddenly work together we can suddenly have a better world.



A new world was started November 6, 2012 as soon as we notice.

Cheering is not enough, Push Congress to vote for policy changes this Lame Duck Session

There were some dramatic shifts this November. Instead of waiting for the Social Security fight next year, let's make changes the victors tend to agree on this year. Suddenly fewer people think pot and gay marriage will destroy us, Islam haters lost big. Maybe the unintended consequences of that movie insulting Islam, is the new belief that Islamophobes are baiting trouble not warning about it. Dramatic shift in the Orthodox Jewish community who had a habit of voting Republican.

http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2012/11/unbelievable-majority-of-orthodox-jews.html
http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/islamophobes-lose-out-in-congressional-races/

Cuban-Americas voted for Obama or almost did depending on which exit poll is believed, and booted out two hardliners. Peace candidates, or more accurately Council for Liveable World supported candidates won most of its contested races. The one group calling themselves Conservatives who were cheering the general election outcome were the eight Ron Paul supported candidates in the House.

http://freedomoutpost.com/2012/11/the-ron-paul-revolution-brings-in-8-congressmen/

If we dwell on trade issues like ending the embargo of Cuba, and a more peaceful cheaper foreign policy, the Ron Paul people will be on the same side as the other victors.

 

We don't need an expensive F 15, a cold war weapon, we can close a US base in Germany or Japan, or if such a Congressional vote loses it still will change the parameters of next years cuts debate. If we manage to end the Cuban embargo this year, just ending boycotts and embargoes creates US jobs, builds tax revenue and since some people retire to crime ridden Mexico to stretch there Social Security check, many more could instead retire to crime free Cuba cutting the Medicare shortfall.

Some young folk might not even realize that there is a blockade of Cuba, and that Americans once were very mad that their government would tell them where they couldn't travel. The exit polls differed on whether most Cuban-Americans voted for Obama. I wonder if some exit polls were more private, such as checking a box instead of speaking into a microphone while other people were near by and elderly Cuban-Americans might have been afraid to offend her friends who they thought were still pro-embargo, and thus made a real point to avoid speaking in an exit poll. Maybe someone could pay for stories of people who avoided the poll taker providing they have a friend who they already confided in that they did so.

I have an incredible thought, to me peace won, even where the peace candidate lost. The Council for a Liveable World won every hotly contested Senate races but two. To me, Shelley Barkley of Nevada is no peace candidate and didn'f call herself one, she wrote the shrill resolution at the Democratic Convention on Jerusalem,

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/sep/05/berkley-says-she-urged-pro-israel-change-democrati/

Where the candidates arguments concerned peace peace won,

http://www.rpv.org/node/1855

Richard Carmona of Arizona lost to the top opponent of the Cuban embargo in the US Senate. Carmona had the support of local Latins, but peace with Cuba won at that point not the Black-Latin coalition.

But we better watch out, we don't pay attention but al Qaeda is convinced that the West will collapse, and is trying to make it happen with their help sooner, such as placing explosive-laden people on airplanes that could have even been a dud so as not to risk a resuming the draft, a far cheaper way to fight. No one seemed to wonder why bin Laden's notes said he was planning to derail trains. Derailing trains would hurt the US economy without encouraging a draft. They will be suddenly very disappointed and angry if it looks like the dollar may not collapse after all. In their eyes those who borrow like crazy like the West does must suffer destruction for it. Let’s prove al Qaeda wrong by straightening up in a hurry.

Anyway Cuba can be counted on to make positive changes if a Congressional vote to end the embargo gets voted on this lame duck session. People in Afghanistan could care less about making US peace-activists look good.

If we wait until our soldiers have to wonder if their next paycheck will be on time, to leave Afghanistan, it could be confusion and chaos.

Britain is still around, two centuries after the US revolution, the US, with the proper compromises aught be around in another 200 years as well.

Bad Year, so far, for Security issues: Hate Film Riots, New Danger Info on Black Hole research but not new protests over it

2012 has already been a bad omen when it comes to humankind solving the dangers ahead. Perhaps an early review will make next January 1 brighter.


There has been strong information questioning the existence of Hawkins Radiation, which was a major reason most scientists think Black Hole Collider research is safe, without any increase in a call for a safety conference. Once, due to classification keeping it away from the general public, there was a small debate whether the first atomic explosion would set off a chain reaction that would consume the earth. On March 1, 1954 the Lithium that was, for other purposes, put in what was intended to be a small Hydrogen Bomb test, created, by far, the dirtiest atomic explosion ever as the natives on Bikini Island woke up to two suns in the sky that morning. History would be different had the first tests gravely injured people. Eventually people in the future will look back at how humankind dealt with the possibility of instantly destroying itself, as more important, than how it dealt with slowly producing more doomsday-like weapons.

With genetic engineering the results are amazing, goats with hair thousands of times stronger than wool would offer some increased protection from its predators. Think what would happen if one foot undigested fibers gets accidental inbreed in goat meat, or very untasty animals spread in the wild throughout the eco system. In 2001 Genetic Insecticide intended only to protect corn to be used in animal feed spread by the winds and cross breading to all corn in the northern hemisphere. Bees drinking corn syrup from one discarded soda can can endanger an entire hive. Now there is fear of this gene getting into wheat, rice and all plants that don't rely on insects in some way. The efforts to require food to be labeled for genetically modified ingredients doesn t address the issue andmay actually distract from warning of the dangers ahead.

There are some who say bad people want to play God and create a god particle, likewise some say evil Monsanto,with bad motives, is trying to prevent us from buying safe food. This attitude doesn't help create a safer future, or empower those trying to rationally deal with the danger.


The next danger is the attempt to impose Helter Skelter on the world with an Islam baiting movie. To Coptic Christians there was to be a movie on them being mistreated in Egypt. Actors hired to perform in a movie about a man who at first didn't know who his father was, loved his donkey, had a far away look in his eyes, never needed a shave and had something to due with a spaceship landing 2000 years ago on the desert. Islam haters fund-raised to create a movie smearing bin Laden but tricking Muslims to see it with movie posters in Arabic.


Somehow despite the false claim of 100 Jewish donors, no one who looked Jewish and rich was attacked in Los Angeles. Prompt expose` by Coptic Christian religious leaders, instead of someone else, exposing the claim that the person who pretended to be a Coptic Christian refugee and a rich Jewish businessman was the same person. Quick response prevented attacks on Copts in Egypt. Every relative of the four Americans killed in Benghazi, didn't want Romney to use their name for campaign purposes. It is amazing that of all the people killed in the riots around the world following this hate trailer none of them were Americans who wanted their relative’s name used to promote anger at Muslims.


It is a bad omen that this was looked upon by many as a free speech issue not a terror attack. When Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed to cause tit for tat revenge killings by a van that was stolen a year earlier in Japan, the UN took charge of the investigation. When Charles Manson tried to impose a Helter Skelter race war on the earth he didn’t come close enough to warrant being punished for a separate crime. If these two previous terror attacks on the world had been done in a way that no one was killed in the initial attack, is the earth really dumb enough to discuss it as a free speech issue?


Michael Jackson’s sister, before he died, was alarmed claiming that Michael Jackson’s handlers were systematical putting him under stress to put her brother in harm’s way. Comrad Murray this year wants a new trial insisting that he never would have given Michael orally such a badly mixed dose of anesthesia, and as no one seems to remember he had been distracted by a call on his cell phone for an offer of an important business deal. The world is full of incidents where professionals commit a crime in such a complex , convoluted way that it is hard to prosecute as a crime. Perhaps all these incidents could be looked into again.


It would be helpful if those stereotyped as not being concerned speak out like a sky diver warning about the Collider or a atheist leader and/or smut dealer speaking out on the hate religious film attack calling for investigation and prosecution.



January through October, 2012, hasn’t been a good omen, in humankind’s ability to solve its problems and deal with danger, perhaps doing a year in review in October instead of waiting till January will make next January’s review brighter.

It is only Human to be Angry over One's Religion Ridiculed in a Porn Flick. Why no letters in US papers stating this side

One advancement in human history was arguing with lawyers instead of sticks and shouts. This has slipped a little since the conviction of Lynne Steward for doing what her client wanted.


I think a hidden cause of the riots is there is no advocacy of what many Muslims want in a debating and legalistic way.


I hope my from a distance effort to do so, will inspire some right up close to do so. I hope my start will help others seek rational struggle in what al Qeada notes is a 1000 year struggle between civilizations. Besides with this one religious hate porn flick the what I usually consider the opposite way from my cultures view is in my my view seeing it more accurately.


I attest there is a need for censure of the perpetrators of a religious porn hate flick, a preview in Arabic designed with posters in Arabic to trick the Arab reader it was sympathetic to the Muslim viewpoint. Anyway here is why I believe investigation and punishment is important. I am not partial to Islam but believe that before the religions of the book such practice as infanticide and killing of one's young step children chimpanzee style was practiced in parts of this planet.


The earth suddenly became darker because Islam entered it is a statement of prejudice not fact. One is not supposed to say such hate speech about the Holocaust or the African experience of the past.


Is it free speech to go to Harlem near, but just out of sight of, a white man to yell “N” on top of one's lungs, or near a police officers funeral just out of sight to hurl “vicious 'p”' near a punk dressed kid, or to turn Christian and Jewish historic leaders into porn stars, or to in thick traffic cut as many drivers off the road as you can as you give them the finger. Fortunately all four Americans who died in Libya didn't cry for out for vengeance. The Ambassador's wife set up a peace memorial fund similar to the fund set up after Daniel Pearl was beheaded 20 years ago, with the annual Daniel Pearl Peace Concerts. So the last half of October won't be grim heading into the “harsh winter “Charles Manson planned many years ago. So the earth as Helter Skelter seems to be just awaiting the next attempt to create it, rather hat trying to figure out how to stop it. Google “Ambassador Stevens is a hero”

From Homeless Child, to Community Leader, Perhaps Even President Someday!

Lately people believe born poor stay poor unless you makes it in the illegal market. And all those athletes paraded in front of kids inspiring them into concussions, and a lot of disappointment. The country is better off because some children were inspired by Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, and recently Ophah Winfrey. Bill Clinton from the lower middle class and a problematic childhood to success starting with public service jobs could be an inspiration as well, I left out Washington and Lincoln because of the fictionalization added to their legacy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJak6-Teqyk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#Early_life_and_career Something inspiring is happening in parts of Kennsington, a partly impoverished section of Philadelphia. Homeless people and those facing foreclosure are both holding their heads up high and improving their lot at the same time. A part of the city where Green Party registration is increasing. Now that Cheri Honkala is the Vice President candidate on the Green Party banner. Obama will suddenly remember there is more than the middle class that needs help, and Romney will only continue to insult the poor at his peril. How the Greens and the Libertarians deal with the states that split their electoral vote, Maine and Nebraska, will be interesting if the electoral college ties, to risk changing the subject if both the Greens and Libertarians get one electoral vote the most likely of the third party possibilities the Constitution says the electors must choose between the top three candidates I think and haven't been able to Google any clarification, http://www.greenpartywatch.org/2012/08/01/stein-and-honkala-arrested-during-occupy-event-in-philadelphia/ http://www.jillstein.org/frontline_defenders Cheri Honkala, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton had troubled childhoods. Though Bill Clinton's mother went to nursing school and left Bill with his grandparents. Cheri's and Oprah’s dealing with a mother with drug issues wasn't easy, especially Cheri's experience as a run away from foster homes. Bill Clinton's experience in stopping his step-dad from beating on his mother and half brother was different but, if Bill would mention it more often, a source of empowerment for children as well. Getting arrested in a homeless protest while a 13 year old runaway was the most empowering thing to happen to Cheri Honkala in her life so far. I hope the beginning of her political career will change that. If voting was compulsively in America Obama would win by a landslide but he is running against “I am so disgusted that I won't vote” some who say “I guess I have to vote the lesser evil” will notice the polls closed before they managed to vote. I am one of those who may or may not change their minds in the polling booth, if both Pennsylvania and the county are neck and neck. The important thing is to vote. And contribute to the better candidates. The Green Party had less over signatures than when the Pennsylvania Democrats challenged in a bitter court fight. They didn't challenge them either because they knew third party election excitement would help the President or at least help every non-blue Dog Democrat running for another office. Obama by praising Ronald Reagan and lately by praising John McCain when it comes to immigration is unknowingly campaigning for people to stay home this time. Obama has real skill as a one on one persuader note his conversion of Bill Gates. But a persuader and an enforcer are two different jobs. Those who swarm all over him doing his every word are making his job harder not easier. I am old enough to have been excited when John F. Kennedy was running, Cheri Honkala is bringing excitement back to politics again. And I hope has already changed the county to where sentencing Ed Frey to six months in jail for helping the poor, and the fines for feeding the poor in Philadelphia will be a thing of the past Or at least the march toward Nazi Germany where helping the poor, and being ethically part of a group with a reputation for siding with the poor ie the Jews would get you killed, will be turned around, thanks to Cheri Honkala. Technical note, an article on RSN can always be updated but the comments remain frozen, it turns out fortunately updating will not make a comment by someone else look silly. To cool the rhetoric down, people fined in Philadelphia for feeding the homeless, and in California Ed Frey getting six month for joining the homeless in solidarity by sleeping on the street may have a little to due with pre-Wold War II German History and famous ex homeless people in the news may help a little. Everyone get back into politics before it's too late. By Richard Kane
