What the Modern Spy is Carrying
On Tuesday the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and accused him of being a CIA agent and attempting to recruit a Russian as an agent.
The FSB also released a list of the equipment he was carrying: wigs, sunglasses, lots of cash, a map, compass, a recruitment letter, cellphone, flashlight, pocket knife, key holder, pepper spray, batteries, notebook, and a cigarette lighter.
It's decidedly lo-tech but then there's no school like the old school. Hell I carry about half of this on a daily basis - and more when I'm out looking to have a pretty good weekend in Vegas.
"Unfortunately you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all of our problems. Some of these same voices do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave and creative and unique experiment in self rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."
-- Barack Obama (May 6, 2013)
Why Liberals Hate Christianity But Ignore Islam
It's the Original Enemy and there's no hate like your first one.
Because they are locked forever in an ideological time warp, says Wiker, liberals (or Progressives or Leftists or whatever else they call themselves to avoid the taint their ideas leave behind) cannot contemplate the possibility that there is another enemy, greater than their old foe Christianity. Which brings me to a post I did today for Mr. Conservative. It concerns Michael 'Mikey' Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and one of the most rabid anti-Christians you will ever meet.
When I wrote the post this morning, it made me uncomfortable that such a venomous man is somehow Jewish, whether genetically or in actual practice. I hate to see that kind of hatred emanate from a group with which I'm affiliated. However, having read Wiker's essay, I realize that my concern is unfounded. Weinstein's hostility to Christians isn't because he's Jewish, it's because he's a Leftist.
Plus a lot of Leftism basically comes down to opposing whatever middle America likes.
Get ready For the New Campus Speech Codes
Courtesy of the DoJ and the DoEd.
In a letter sent yesterday to the University of Montana that explicitly states that it is intended as "a blueprint for colleges and universities throughout the country," the Departments of Justice and Education have mandated a breathtakingly broad definition of sexual harassment that makes virtually every student in the United States a harasser while ignoring the First Amendment. The mandate applies to every college receiving federal funding-virtually every American institution of higher education nationwide, public or private.
The letter states that "sexual harassment should be more broadly defined as 'any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature'" including "verbal conduct" (that is, speech). It then explicitly states that allegedly harassing expression need not even be offensive to an "objectively reasonable person of the same gender in the same situation"-if the listener takes offense to sexually related speech for any reason, no matter how irrationally or unreasonably, the speaker may be punished.
So hitting on a girl at a campus party will now involve the risk of rejection and prosecution.
A Movie With a Parasitic Worm as the Protagonist?
Well apparently that describes the recent film, "Upstream Color".
In "Upstream Color," the hero is a parasitic worm. (The role seems to have been played by a mealworm, the pale, segmented larva of a common beetle.) We first see it being shaken out of the root bundle of an orchid by someone identified in the credits as "the Thief," who has detected the worm's presence by a telltale blue scale on the orchid's leaves. Teens help the Thief find such orchids; the teens' reward is Diet Coke that a larva has percolated in, a shared swig of which seems to impart the power to synchronize their movements even with closed eyes. In the hands of the Thief, the neurotoxin is put to a more practical use. Outside a nightclub, he assaults a woman named Kris (played by an exquisite Amy Seimetz) and, using a plastic medical device, forces a worm down her throat in order to brainwash her. Once she's under the worm's spell, he tells her that she's unable to look at him because his head is made of the same substance as the sun and commands her to turn the equity in her house into cash, which she surrenders along with a strongbox of precious coins. To stall her while he works, and then while he makes his getaway, the Thief also imposes elaborate and apparently nonsensical tasks, including the transcription and memorization of Thoreau's "Walden."
And that's just the beginning.
The Flimflam History of Tarot Cards
Most of what you know about the Tarot isn't true.
But tarot cards were still meant to tell fortunes, right?
Nope. The 78-card deck was actually used for playing trick-taking games, along the general lines of Spades or Bridge. A popular variant, French Tarot, is still played widely, especially in (as one might expect) France.
Farley and Spade made a good Laurel and Hardy pair - it's a shame Chris died just a year or two after this movie.
How To Get Power From a Phone Line
Land lines aren't totally useless. For long time I kept a land line with classic old analog phone that works off of the line power just for emergencies. But the price for even minimal phone service just kept going up so I finally dropped it.
And speaking of phones here's an 1885 audio recording of Alexander Graham Bell speaking that was recovered by optically scanning the fragile disc.

Weinstein's hostility to Christians isn't because he's Jewish, it's because he's a Leftist.
Let's face it, a lot of Jews are leftists, for whatever reason that I've never understood.

Isn't it interesting that while technology in general has been falling steadily down the Moore's Law price curve, classic phone service has been getting ever MORE costly? Well, consider that the price you pay is not just the cost of the service itself.
Read the fine print of your bills. A metric fuckton of taxes go into that bottom line.
And where are those taxes going? To hand out free Obamaphones to welfare losers, addicts and winos.

Leftism is ANTI-WESTERN CIVILIZATION. It revels in the freedoms it guarantees, then insists that it is no better than any other-- indeed, worse, because serious you guys. So they seek out every foundation of it they can find and concentrate on dissolving them completely.
There's actually a name for it: Critical Theory. Developed by Leftards in a kollidge (there was a video here recently explaining its roots) whereby everything about America is attacked 24/7. That's it. No recognition of anything good or wholesome or anything like that in our society.
Which is what kids are being taught in skools today.

I attended a college where the women outnumbered the men 3 to 1 at one point. Just saying hi or you look nice was considered hitting on a women. And if you said something that didn't sound just right, or make too broad of a comment that was it you got shamed or the look.

I once took care of a 5-year-old with pneumonia. After he had completed his course of antibiotics I pulled out his IV and slapped a Band-Aid on the insertion site and stepped out of the room for a couple minutes. His dad, a mid-range NCO (E-6 maybe) was in the room with him. When I came back into the room, the Band-Aid was hanging by a thread, hadn't stuck properly. I said, "Hmm, I guess that didn't work very well, did it?"
The little boy said scornfully, "Yeah, cheap-ass Army Band-Aid!"
I had never seen a black man blush before.

everyone has a breaking point...how many people who "vote the wrong way" who lose a loved one to willful medical withholding or persecution that leads to death or terminal impact on their longevity will shrug?
All it takes is will and a lack of fear of loss and two men can paralyze the national capital...now multiply that times how many potential incidents...
You think Obama "accidentally" put the partisan whore c**t in charge of care gestapo that was stifling political equality unknowingly?
He's waving his dick at us telling us what is coming....

What's more, Obama is supposed to be Mr Pro Union.
If you know anything about unions it's that you never ever do any work outside your job description. The union believes that doing so allows you to be taken advantage of by management AND it takes a job away from someone else.
It is not in the Marines' job description to hold an umbrella for another grown man. Hire some Obama rump swab to do that shit; they'd probably be honored to do so.

On the other hand the Marines attached to the White House are on special duty and that may include permission to do things like carry and use umbrellas to protect the president and guests.
Interestingly female Marines are allowed to use umbrellas but only in their left hands.

Sooth - One day a veteran walked into my building wanting service to take care of a financial matter. He walked up to the desk of the secretary who is a big union goon/ Obama supporter and asked her if she would find someone to help him. She told him "Sorry, but It is my break time now. Please have a seat and I will find someone for you when I get back."
Unfortunately for her I was walking by at the time and heard the whole thing. I went and found someone to help him and my next stop was her boss's office. She got hammered by him - retired Army Captain.
I told my two co-workers about this bitch and whenever she comes to us now for help we tell her "Sorry, we're on our break." She's stopped coming by.

You'd have to be crazy to rob a gun shop, yes?
HOOKSETT, N.H. – Police in New Hampshire are asking the public's assistance identifying three suspects who stole a gun from Riley's Sport Shop in Hooksett Thursday morning.
Police in Hooksett said two black males and one black female entered the shop on Hooksett Road at about 9:23 a.m.
An employee saw the male suspect with a gun and took it back, but as the employee walked away, the female suspect reached around one of the cabinets and removed a knife and a gun, police said.
The female suspect is then seen walking to the back of the store where she allegedly cuts the security tag off the gun and leaves the store.
The gun that was stolen was 357 Sig Sauer semi-automatic handgun.
They were wearing hoodies. Because everyone 'shops' these days with hoodies on.

On the other hand the Marines attached to the White House are on special duty and that may include permission to do things like carry and use umbrellas to protect the president and guests.
Interestingly female Marines are allowed to use umbrellas but only in their left hands.
The whole thing is stupid. No one is going to fault a servicemember who holds an umbrella for a VIP during an event. At most it's a slap on the wrist, and light at that.
Was it classless of Obama? Yes. But it's not some violation of the law like people keep trying to imply. At worst he undermined the Commandant in a very specific circumstance where even the Commandant would have said, "Go ahead and hold them."

They are. That's the whole point of the Daily Caller headline: to imply that he was putting the Marines in a position where they had to violate regs. I don't disagree that it's stupid and insulting. I'm simply annoyed at people like the Daily Caller trying to pretend that it put the Marines is some sort of conflict.

Okay, I just watched the videop. Are you kidding me? Did you hear him tell the Marines (ostensibly, since he was talking into the microphone) that they would look good? What a POS. At leats–at the VERY least, he could have offered the PM an umbrella and not used the Marine for that silly duty himself. “Hey, I’m the King, PM, watch me make these Marines hold umbrellas for us!” What a POS.

Actually when the Marines volunteer for White House special service part of their job does entail butler-type duties:
"There are usually four Marines detailed to the White House at any given time. They volunteer for what is considered the exclusive duty. Their main duty is to act as (mostly ceremonial) guards outside the West Wing lobby, where they open and close the door for White House officials."

It did put them in conflict. That's why a smart CinC wouldn't have done it. However, the rule is you follow the last order given and let the giver of that order deal with any conflicts. The Marines in question did exactly that, as they should have. That does not mean there was not a conflict, but I will agree that it was a minor issue. There are much better reasons to be pissed at TFG.

Hello People of Ace-land! I bring you glad tidings from Indiana.
I still have a landline phone and I recently got a vintage rotary dial phone. Yes, it works. We turned the ringers off on the other cordless phone and all we hear is that wonderful old full throated RRRRIIIIINNNGG sound. Love that. Also love explaining "How does this thing work?" to the various childrens around here.

In the meeting Catwoman, a career criminal, tells the POTUS (who isn't Obama and actually looks somewhat like a young Reagan) "We'll fight against this regime but you need to do a better job."
"How?" asks the POTUS.
"Health. Education. Gun Control. Poverty. The Environment. Not telling people who they can and can't love. The reson so many support Superman's actions is because they're disenfranchised and disheartened and they want the world to be a better place. This country needs to have compassion again. You need to do better."
Go figure. A career criminal in favor of gun control and free stuff that somehow is always somebody else's problem to pay for. While standing next to a man who is a multi-billionaire and hoards technology for his personal use. And somehow this stuff is why the Joker thought it was hilarious to murder a million people and use drugs to induce a man to murder his own pregnant wife. Yep, the Joker is all about building support for the Great Society.

Here is the enforcement model for the IRS (and yes, it works).
The IRS knows that it can't enforce the law uniformly against all offenders. No one could. So, they find a few cheats, a few offenders. Then, they prosecute the very living hell out of those few offenders. They come down on them like a ton of bricks. LIKE A TON OF BRICKS!
And they make sure that the cases become high profile and get a lot of press time.
And, voila, the rest of us fall in to line.
We should try that enforcement model for illegal immigrants, IMHO.

It's a sacrifice they're willing to make if they take down the entire country with it. That is, after all, the ultimate goal. Destroy it all and rebuild it in their image. No matter how much history says otherwise, a Marxist true believer will always believe it just hasn't been done right yet. It wasn't the theory that was flawed but the execution.
Well, one thing you can count on whenever Marxist take over a place is lots and lots of execution.

I always get a giggle from the computer displays that are so recognizable to an Atari 8-bit user. Some of the screens are lifted directly from a demo produced by a German user group. The same demo was used for displays in 'Enemy Mine.'
The guy who did most of the coding for the Genesis Sequence animation, Loren Carpenter, also wrote a great book on understanding computer graphics, with all of the included demos written to run on the Atari. He then created a game using much of the same fractal landscape generation code from the movie. It was at first known as 'Behind Jaggi Lines' and it was vaguely set in the Star Wars universe. It was finally released as 'Rescue on Fractalus.' The first Lucas game, along with Ballbla2er, which also did astounding things with the aging Atari.

True, we were told Kirk was the youngest man ever to achieve his rank but Shatner didn't look like it happened just a few weeks ago. And it was implied that much of it came from being one of the few survivors of a big important battle that TPTB felt needed to promoted by promoting Kirk. (The time he spent recovering from his injuries was later retconned as the period when he met and became involved with Carol Marcus, and that Gary Mitchell was much longer in recovery and didn't advance as fast as a result.)
The reboot characters look way too young to be running the ship. Especially that ship as opposed to something much smaller. On TNG they gave it a bit of thought and did a better job of filling in the previous posts of the career officers.
The reboot Kirk has such a different childhood than the original that it seems a bit presumptuous for old Spock to tell young Spock that this guy is going to be his bestest buddy. No father, no siblings. (The original Kirk had at least one brother who was killed on the planet of the flying booger parasites, and a nephew who survived. Although in the awful fifth movie Kirk makes a comment that suggests he has completely forgotten his brother ever existed or just holds him in low regard. "I lost a brother once but I got him back," he says, referring to Spock. Uh Jim, you lost an actual brother and you didn't get him back. Spoken to your nephew recently?)

We are under a 'Solar Flare Watch' for this weekend.
That group of sun spots that has been blurping out X-flares, will be in position to aim them right at us, this weekend.
Mætenloch: "Land lines aren't totally useless. For long time I kept a land line with classic old analog phone that works off of the line power just for emergencies. But the price for even minimal phone service just kept going up so I finally dropped it."
I know what you mean, Mæt...I have kept a land line, just for emergencies.
But the price had kept going up.
So I called to cancel it...and ATandT offered to cut the price in half!
I said "Uh, I dunno..."
And they cut the price some more.
So we still have a land line.

Ever make pizza? That can be a bit o' fun. And it's not hard to do.
Don't ask me for a recipie cause I aint that kinda guy. I did make homemade pizza a time or few and remember it not being much chore at all, but didn't keep any recipie. Got them off the web, iirc.
Oh, I remember one, toppings were sauteed (that spelled right?) onions and pan fried kilbasa. Cheese of course. not sure what kind. Whatever I had in the fridge. Proabably used Ragu for the sauce.

I don't think the JEF orders anyone to do anything, except hold an umbrella. He's got that "we are the ones we've been waiting for" line which let every closeted totalitarian take their ids out for walkies and has smiled upon their worst excesses and used the power of the government to shield them from consequence. It's not that I don't think he's evil enough, I just don't think he's creative, intelligent, or industrious enough to compose all the mischief that's gone on.
Take Pelosi, for instance [PLEASE!!!!] -- does anyone actually believe that Obama gave her marching orders? She's twice as intelligent and ten times as hardworking as he is. All he told her is "let your freak flag fly, and I've got your back." I don't think he gave direct orders to the politicized scrunt who slow-walked all the tea partiers....but his minions were the ones who rewarded her by putting her in charge of Obamacare at the IRS and publicly sacking her replacement over things she did.
The real counter to all this nonsense isn't impeachment; it isn't criminal charges; it isn't legislation.... It's sunlight, the best disinfectant. We need a President that will open the floodgates of true transparency into Washington.
Just think, could the DoJ's Voting Rights Section survive if every sneering email for the last 20 years were made public? If every racist file were thrown open? If every political payback were made explicit? How about the Department of Education? Agriculture? The EPA? The IRS? ICE? DHS?
In 30 seconds, enough solid data about the totalitarian "progressive" assholes and their evil plans could be churned into the cloud that their failed ideology would be seriously crippled for decades. No more of the RINOs covering for the Dems so that the RINOs get a turn at the controls....

I greatly doubt Obama sat down with any IRS people to lay out a strategy of harassment against conservatives. Obama has a standing army of flunkies for such communication. That isn't the type of stupid they embody.
Remember, the only thing separating Nixon from JFK when it comes to such behavior and why we think of something other than a hotel when we hear Watergate, is one single disgruntled employee who got passed up for a promotion. If not for that FBI agent American history might be very different. It might actually be worse, considering how easily Nixon took to wretchedly bad economic concepts but it would definitely be different.

Much as Scientologists ask people they are unsure of, "Are you clear?" I wouldn't be surprised if the progressives have a nomenclature for subtly asking about a person and how they'll likely act, given the chance. Obama used to give classes in Alinsky technique and he was but one of many. I've no doubt there is a phrase once can speak to declare allegiance without making it blatantly obvious to an uninformed listener.
I've met several people who, when asked what they do, will declare themselves a progressive activist first and give the occupation that pays their bills second. At the low level, these are the bookstore employees who purposely make books by conservatives hard to find or hide them entirely.

I think that IRS-gate is a truly unforeseen pile of fresh, steaming dog-logs that Teh JEF and his handlers will track all over the public arena.
If there's one thing LIVs know, it's that the IRS is bad ... and anyone who uses the RS to push people around is even worse.
The burning of the temp commissioner and promotion of someone who likely ran the persecutions will play badly ... firing her is no longer enough.
I think that if the National Enquirer, The Globe, The Star, and maybe a few other "organic information transferral media" would put 10 or so reporters (of the type that hound Hollywood types) on IRS-gate, we'd have Congressmen and Senators calling for Roto-Rooter-grade investigations, cleanings, etc.

There are some sections of the tax code that are extremely readable....and serve as reminders to those in the business as to what is really going on. For example, section 61(a) of the IRC states "Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all
income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) the
following items:" and lists 15 items. The short translation of this is "we're going to tax it unless we decide not to".

I still have a landline phone and I recently got a vintage rotary dial phone. Yes, it works. We turned the ringers off on the other cordless phone and all we hear is that wonderful old full throated RRRRIIIIINNNGG sound. Love that. Also love explaining "How does this thing work?" to the various childrens around here.
-------
Brother of a friend of mine used to dial the phone by clicking the hookswitch (that is, after all, how the rotary dial works). Every now and then they'd get a call from The Phone Company telling them to cut it out because they kept crashing the switches.

play games (or atleast afk in DOTA and TF2) and get cards and emoticons, collect whole set and craft a badge. BUT there is a limit on how many cards you can get in a game and it doesn't reset so you're stuck trading or selling to get a full set. And there are special edition foil variants of the cards.

I'm taking the under on her making it to June.
Promptly sacking her is the only thing that might keep this from metastasizing into inconvenient harassment/persecution revelations about all the other cabinet post agencies.
The longer this drags on, the more people are going to start going public with their stories of getting fucked over, and some of them are gonna be real doozies.
The last thing Obama needs is horror stories about EPA and Dept of Energy, Dept of Education, etc heavy handedness surfacing. Most of those victims were effectively intimidated into silence, but they are legion.

I have issues with the directing style, and dark toned scene design that permeates most of the movie.
There's one monstrous continuity disconnect with TOS regarding Pike that wasn't even necessary and could have easily been avoided with a modest script change.
The interior detail of the ships is interesting and has much more gory visual detail than any of the other Star Trek series or movies and it gives a sense of the huge size of a starship quite effectively.
There's a plot fail regarding the range of the transporter tech which seemed pretty obvious, but overall it didn't put me to sleep, which is a big plus. I get the sense that the writers of this didn't watch too much of TOS for background and continuity.

Necessary incompatibilities are fine, gratuitous ones smack of laziness.
ex. The original Stargate movie had two-way wormholes, and so did the first few episodes of SG-1. Early on in Season 1, the writers obviously realized that one-way wormholes were a dramatically more useful plot device and abandoned the two-way shit before they became too committed to it.
