And the Fed Informants Keep Turning Up...

The Feds and their informants on Twitter call themselves computer consultants or radio dee jays or poets.  [On FakeBook/FailBook/FB they refer to themselves as "your friends"].  The mother of a close friend in high school used to always tell us that truth is stranger than fiction.  It certainly is.

I tweet [a.k.a. converse] with a truly diverse bunch on Twitter.  It is fortunate that Twitter is not happening in real-life in someone's living room.  Guns would be drawn and people would die.  My Anonymous friends and the ninjas dislike each other.  The good-time trolls and the anti-cyberbullies can find little common ground.  Even the child abuse and human trafficking folks are divided into camps.

I've written posts about Lori Handrahan and I've written about WWASPS-- I don't like either one of them.  I've discussed the alleged infiltration of the Million Dollar March in D.C. by a poet which some believe to be a Fed [and I believe that too.  I could be wrong.  At any rate, I will not be going to D.C. on November 5th].  I haven't blogged about the PayPal 14 or the PayBack 13 for two reasons.  I think others can tell the tale better than I can.  One of the PayBack 13 is someone that I've never met in real life but I consider him to be a friend.

I've written some about my politics but not much about the political ideologies that I've found on Twitter.  I will do a little bit of that now.  Those who know me know that I am pro-gun, anti-amnesty for illegal aliens, pro-secularism in the public schools, anti-N.S.A., pro-free internet, anti-CISPA and the current exaggeration of copyright "protections" in effect today which pretty much render fair use dead, pro-civil rights for all civils, and anti-Obummer Care.  I don't like the A.C.A. stuff because I found a chart with the rates on the U.S. government site-- a chart with public permissions and a download button-- and even with "rebates," I found that the Affordable Care Act is not affordable for me.  Quite frankly, when my circumstances change, I will have to leave the country in order to afford healthcare if ObummerCare is still the ahem law of the land.  The A.C.A. would have been a better idea if it was not 2300 pages of something that Nancy Pelosi has been quoted as saying that we will have to pass it in order to find out what is in it.  Or something like that.  If it was Open Market [versus tied to the federal government and to the states] and did not penalize the uninsured for not joining up, it might have been less of a disaster than it is.  Universal healthcare is a grand idea but the implementation of it to date has sucked.  Period.  It needs to be re-worked and not just patched.

I can no longer call myself a liberal.  I have refused to join Unite Blue on Twitter.  Although I am an atheist and not a christian, I have found myself a political home of sorts on Twitter with Todd Kincannon and some other conservatives.  I have no desire to argue with christians over their religious and spiritual choices.  I do have a desire to write snarky things at the pope once in awhile [yes, his unholiness is on Twitter along with the apologetics for bad behavior of the roman church].  I will engage in snark with a few muslims who think that we ought to follow islam; and with a few of the more extreme christians who are as obsessed with conversions on Twitter as a transfolk is with mutilation via surgical means.  Besides, Todd and Ashley have a dog named Noodle [who is also on Twitter]. 

Todd's Twitter stream is full of people who randomly attack him for his viewpoints, coarseness, and language.  It is never dull.  He does not seek out targets.  They seek him out.  The results are rather zany.  He's been accused of being a bully and several other things which I won't print here.  Todd has several long-standing adversaries and bunches of folks who find his comebacks too witty and have the sense to depart quickly.  The long-standing ones don't have the sense to use their block button, to drop the endless tweets accusing him of all kinds of things, to accept that not everyone on Twitter has to approve of them or their thoughts or beliefs.  Believing in equal rights-- or in civil rights for all civils-- is not an endorsement of all lifestyles on the planet.  This is something that many folks get mixed up about.  Todd says stuff that an average person may think but doesn't say.

Last night a guy who characterizes himself as a "real brother" and his allies appeared on Todd's stream.  This real brother has been accused of being racist and a drug-runner of sorts in other places on the interwebz.  Todd informed this real bro that Todd wanted him to put away or put down for drug crimes [of the foul nature that the real brother is alleged to have committed, and may or may not be continuing in the present].  A quick search engine search revealed that the real brother was doxed by someone in Anonymous and that the real bro is suspected of having turned fed informant.  Another name to add to the list of people that other people think are fed informants.  Ha!

Then we all heard from an anti-bullying coalition of sorts.  Calling names is bad m'kay.  One guy pointed out that cyberbullying is a bit of fakery as we all have the choice to step away from the computer or go do something else online.  In response, another guy inferred that anyone who finds Todd's stuff to be witty has a mental deficiency.  I snarked back in fun that the latter guy just insulted me and my kin, and that we are hashtag MentallyDivergent.  The anti-bullying coalition account retweeted my snark-- perhaps not realizing that I was having fun.  And so on.  Hanging with Todd and other conservatives on Twitter is never boring.  It is a nice break from the drama of current news and current political disasters and reports of earthquakes in places that I may have never heard of.

So last night resulted in the outing of yet another possible Fed informant to add to the list that I keep in my head.  I enjoyed my time on Twitter last night.  It's nice to be nice.  Sometimes we can be too nice.  In my life I certainly have been too nice.  I learned from Todd Kincannon what to do when people attack me with name-calling and their supposes of my character rather than arguing with my ideas in a logical manner.  I retweet them, being careful to add a period before the enclosed a and their twitter handle.  Sometimes I favor their tweet.  Because I can laugh at myself today.

If I have thoughts of suicide, something is wrong with me and I ought to make an appointment with a health care professional.  If I am that fragile that I think some mean comments on the internet can push me over the edge, then I better take up crocheting washcloths and watching soap operas for a hobby instead of social media.  Getting faux-fended is my problem, not the problem of the big meanie poo-poo head who rocked my unself-esteem with their words.  If a stranger from the interwebz shows up uninvited to my home and neighborhood, then it is time for cops and guns and dogs with sharp teeth.

p.s.  A final word to parents with kids and teens.  They're your rat bastards.  You parent them.  You are responsible to know what they are doing on their computers and cell phones.  The computer should be out in the open like in the living room.  You should be monitoring what they do on-line as well as off-line.  There are ways to do this.  Find those ways.  Learn the technology.  Supervise your children.  They are your responsibility until they become adults.

p.s.s.  "Twitter" refers to http://www.twitter.com.  By using the word Twitter, it is not my intention now or ever to take over, cybersquat, make profit from, or otherwise defame the Twitter name.  I am not affiliated in any way with Twitter other than being a tweeter.  And the staff and owner or owners of Twitter probably have no idea who I am and don't care who I am as long as I am not being mean to them on the interwebz which I am not.

One Trillion, Two Trillion, Three Trillion, Four

I been reading bits about making a trillion dollar coin and I think to myself, I don't know very much about economics but I believe the people who are seriously considering this are either on drugs or ought to be.  If this is a stunt that Obama and some others are considering in order to force agreement about what to do about the national debt, it stinks.  If this is a sneaky way to artificially create a higher debt ceiling without Congressional approval, it stinks.  In short, I think the whole idea is stupid.

I don't know much about economics but I do know about fake paper money that kids and some adults use to play board games.  If I grabbed up a handful of that fake paper money and went to the bank with it, I would not have any more money in there than I already do.  If I tried to pay for weekly groceries with it or even crickets for the frog, I would go home without.  Meanwhile, we the nation just keep spending what we haven't got.  And to make things worse, we spend money on nations in foreign places that don't even like us in the first place. 

I understand that a certain amount of national debt floats around out of necessity for obscure to me economic reasons that I don't get.  But cripes people, enough is enough.  I don't care when we did hit that whoa spot or even which politicians or presidents that people wish to blame.  My point is that we are going to have to make some tough choices if we want to truly lower the amount of debt that we as a nation owe.  Thus, I have some proposals which we can call the ten/ten/ten plan:

1).  Quit lending other nations money for any reason.

2).  Quit giving other nations money for any reason.

3).  No more bail-outs for any reason.  This is a sink or swim deal.
If you can't swim, then get out of the water.

4).  Take our entire budget, all the pork barrel projects and all the stuff that our government funds and cut everything-- all of it, no exceptions-- by ten percent for the next ten years.

5).  Raise taxes by ten percent for the next ten years for everyone.

6).  Freeze any new government mandates on the states for the next ten years.  Every time there is a mandate, we end up paying for it.  ENOUGH.

7).  Cut salaries of all of the politicians in Washington D.C. from
the President right on through Congress people, Representatives,
aides and all of that by ten percent for the next ten years.  No raises.
And dump the high tech professional lobbying groups.

8).  Get rid of the expensive private planes and gas guzzlers that any of the politicians ride around in.  Let them take regular planes like anyone else, preferably economy class.  No chauffeurs either.  No more free coffee.  If there is a community coffee pot, and a politician wants some, let them pay ten dollars a cup-- to go toward the budget.  These people have lived large on our backs for too long.

9).  No more bossing other countries around for any reason.  No more committees meeting in order to try to boss around the internet world wide.  No more prosecution of people living in other places for what they do on the internet.  If their own countries aren't going after them, we shouldn't either.  No more interference in their wars, who they get to lead their countries, funding of any military groups other than our own, nada.  Zip.  We live in a great country but we are not the be all and end all of all the other countries.  So how about that we quit acting like we are.  NO INTERFERENCE IN THE AFFAIRS OF OTHER COUNTRIES, PERIOD.

10). Require regular high school students to pass at least one course in world economics before graduation.  A few of those kids are going to be politicians and hopefully the next crop will have a bit more knowledge about economics and how to budget than the current crop does.

Enough is enough.  I don't want any stinking fake coin for any reason.  If we want something different, we got to do something different.  Pulling together would be a great start.  If we do this stuff now, it will be difficult for the next ten years.  Everyone will whine but then perhaps we will get over it.  And become the great country that we profess to be.

I love my country.  It's all the idiocy that happens in D.C. that I can't stand.

Bush and getting Bushed

Most people aren't all idiot or all genius but a mixed up blend.

Bush is no exception.

imo, given the "choices" we had last time, Bush had the most

leadership ability out of all of them.

Quite frankly,

and I may not be rational in this but this was my belief when Carter

was around and still is,

when those Iranian student terrorists took over the American Embassy

27 years or so ago, we shoulda bombed that entire damn country

and cut our losses.

I feel bad for the hostages as I am not inhuman.

But the fact is, we cannot negotiate with terrorists.

The nine hostages would have had a nice monument somewheres

built for them

and perhaps 9/11 would have been delayed or not happened at all.

As it was, the Ayatollah Khomeni went around laughing his ass off

about the USA being impotent and unable to act decisively.

Consequently, we became opportunistic fodder for anyone with a

bomb or a gun.

Bush's mistake was in not nuking the whole entire area.

The war has dragged on entirely too long and if it was

a clean in and out sweep, things might have been better.

So we still have a rep of not being able to act decisively.

Four ppl were arrested last Saturday at JFK airport.

Reason: that airport was a target. Had they not been

arrested...

Meanwhile, Bush has gone soft on the illegal alien issue and

I'm pissed at him for that. Newt Gingrigh however you spell

his name got on the airwaves and read the Mexican law

concerning what happens to United Statians who try that

border trick in reverse. The mediacs, not realizing what he

was reading from, were quick with their accusations. Newt

didn't write the Mexican law. He was just reading it.

I am not a fan of Newt most of the time and I am not a

christian dominionist and in fact not a christian.

However, Newt did nothing rascist by reading from the law

of another country. Furthermore, some of the illegals when

they had their usa-wide protests back in May, had a sign

that read "Read your history. This IS our country." So

now Texas and parts of Arizona are to become part of Mexico

as they wish, not officially but in another way.

I do not agree with some of the things Bush has done and I do

not share the same christian values that he has. However,

I would have respected him far more if he hadn't backed down

regarding illegal aliens, period.

Bush is far from an idiot. His college transcripts bear witness to that.

And Hill the Pill-- sorry. I live in New York. I have no love for her.

She is phony. How do I know this? I've listened to her talk about

the hot-button feel-good issues and I think she should go live in

Massachusetts with Martha's crew. At least that would get her the

hell out of my state.

Guiliani in 2008.

Respectfully and with love even though I am a political hothead,

spike q

ps One of the things that I really like about the team blog "Itching for a coffee"

is that we do not all agree. The exposure to different viewpoints as well

as differing life circumstances and different spiritual or religious paths

is a great thing.

Friendship extends far beyond any ideological boundaries.

Meanwhile, I am involved in the Live Journal clusterfuck. Getting rid of

pedos is a good thing. Getting rid of folks at random who had "incest"

listed in their interests [because they are survivors or in one case a

sociology student] is moronic and then for some Whackkkos 4 Installationofspyware

group to publish the user names of all of the suspendeds and labeling them

pedos when in fact most of them were not is a truly bad thing.

To compound their sins, Live Journal's idiot make fake apologies and the

team then brought back a few of the pedos [without thorough investigation first]

and left some of the survivors still suspended.

Contacting their abuse team in the past about harassment or any other matter

led to a polite form letter, "We can do nothing." Yet some whacKKKos show

up threatening to boycott the advertisers and boom goes the hatchett.

Writing fanfic which involves sexual activity is not the same as seeking out

kids under the age of consent.

The community which discussed the classic book Lolita in Spanish was one of

ones suspended. It was brought back.

Years ago, Live Journal bloggers were aware of a pedo on live journal and they

got the word out via reporting on the news articles about his arrests plural and

the situation. The abuse team suspended the reporters and left the pedo to

do as he will.

Back to my corner now.

GOOD FOR GOODE 12/22/06

Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr., a Republican Congressman is standing by his position on immigration in spite of a fervor caused by his recent remarks regarding the plans of a Congressman from Minnesota to be sworn into office using the Koran. The congressmen are sworn in as a group. Individual congressmen may elect to also participate in a private ceremonial swearing-in.

Goode wants illegal immigration to be cut down to zero and he wants legal immigration to be cut back. He is opposed to any more immigration of Muslims from Middle Eastern countries. One pro-Muslim organization based in the U.S. sent him an English translation of the Koran. It was suggested that he read a specific verse relating that people and nations were not created to hate each other.

I suggest that all the people screaming about this read the entire Koran. Then goto http://www.outragedmoderates.org/, click on the Government Document Library, find and download the chapters from a terrorist training manual there and read them word for word. Then come back and state honestly that Islam is peace-loving and so was the founder.

For the text of the letter which Rep. Goode sent to his constituents, goto: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,237990,00.html

radical sapphoq says:
I don't care what book a member of congress uses to swear on when taking office. I do care about a future possibility of Muslims becoming a majority in the United States and/or in public office. While I remain an avid supporter of separation of church and state, I also totally support Rep. Goode on his position on immigration. Good for him for not backing down! If that makes me a bigot, then so be.

SWINGING THE GATES 11/6/06

One of the most prominent issues among the dem politicians was to be rid of Donald Rumsfeld. President Bush did it for them by announcing Rumsfeld's resignation and replacement with Robert M. Gates. If Gates is confirmed, he will take office most likely in June of 2007.

In spite of accusations regarding the Iran Contra Affair and others regarding his alleged politicalization of intelligence about the former Soviet Union and Nelson Mandela, radical sapphoq regards Robert Gates as an excellent choice for the job of U.S. Secretary of Defense. He has served as an intelligence professional in the CIA for 27 years. He was also appointed to a bipartisan committee, Iraq Study Group; and also has served on SAFE, a group which deals with reducing our dependence upon oil and finding alternative sources of energy. He has extensive knowledge about the Middle East Region and about foreign affairs. Robert Gates will indeed be an asset to the present administration.
