LIST OF PEOPLE WHO SHOULD FUCK THEMSELVES

Here's a list of how "our representatives" voted on the Amash Amendment that would (hopefully) protect us from the NSA's unchecked spying. Anyone who voted "no" should seriously fuck off. If your "representative" voted "no", please give them a call and tell them to get fucked.

On Agreeing to the Amendment: Amendment 42 to H R 2397

Congress needs to fuck off. No one likes it.

IF YOU DRIVE, THEY'RE TRACKING YOU

Automated license plate readers that track every single license plate they see and often store the data indefinitely have become a hot topic lately. The databases of information, which includes every sighting of a particular plate (i.e. you) over long periods of time can be viewed much like Google maps. Hope you didn't park in front of a crack den when you went out for milk.

The ACLU has been blasting not only the surveillance of innocent (though assumed-guilty) citizens, but also the varying retention policies of law enforcement offices. A few discard the info after a few days, some hold onto it for years (you never know when a "good guy" could turn out to actually be a "bad guy"), and others don't see a reason to have a policy at all. They have a page on their site dedicated to ALPR systems and a report in PDF format.

But what else can we do to protect our privacy against a government who continues to expand its powers? (And on a side note, do you trust the government to keep all the data it has on you safe?) While we haven't used it, you may want to invest in the NoPhoto license plate frame.

Or maybe you should never drive ever again, at least not in America.

LINK DUMP: STRANGE STUFF FROM THE NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT SHOOTING

There are plenty of places to find sensationalized reports and emotional interviews regarding the COnnecticut shooting. We wanted to avoid talking about it altogether, but as we looked into it, many things seemed too strange to not talk about. If you want personal interest stories or images of of the scene, you'll have to look elsewhere. We hope everyone involved can find peace in this trying time.

We have to, of course, start off with the most popular video on the subject of a Sandy Hook conspiracy. As of this posting, it has over 10 million views. That's a lot of people with questions . . .

SECOND SHOOTER
This news report makes note of "a second man was caught by police in an adjoining wood". Here is video of police running through those woods.

There is talk of "two shadows" running around the school grounds in the police scanner audio.

Yahoo has a story reporting two gunmen.

Someone from a neighboring school posted up-to-the-minute updates on reddit's r/news section: "[O]ne shooter reported dead . . . One child dead. One shooter still on the loose."


MEDICATION LINK
It's long been known medication can cause mood changes, suicidal thoughts and violent outbursts. SSRI Stories provides a list of violent incidents involving people on medications.

It remains unclear what medications Adam Lanza, the Connecticut shooter was one, but he was thought to have a "personality disorder" and was taking medication for it.

The medication link immediately made us think of MKUltra and other government programs aimed at using drugs to alter people's bodies and minds. In The Bourne Legacy, there's a scene where a scientist who has been drugged goes on a violent shooting spree, and while that may sound crazy, brain modification through drugs isn't just science fiction.

OTHER NEWS UNDER THE RUG: GITMO, LIBOR, AND MANNING
While everyone was distracted by the horrific shooting in Connecticut, Obama released information about the Guantanamo Bay prisoners, guards and more, as was required by law. Perhaps he was hoping it would slip under the radar while everyone, including him, focused on the shooting.

The shooting also occurred around the time some of the biggest bank fraud transcripts were released. Read more about the Libor scandal on Wikipedia.

The nearly unreported Bradley Manning trial is underway, as well. Read about it on VICE.

VICTORIA SOTO
Victim Victoria Soto was remembered in a Facebook page created four days before the shooting. Link to video capture of the page before it was taken down.

SIMILAR ATTACK IN CHINA
On the same day as the Connecticut shooting, a man attacked 22 schoolchildren in China.

RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG, PART 3: PUPPET OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The POTUSes.
By A. Feusier, via Wikimedia Commons

President of the United States of America. The most powerful person on earth. Ruler of the biggest, bestestest country ever invented. The "Leader of the Free World"™. The Man.

Not really.

Freakonomics did an eye-opening piece about how much power the POTUS really has, and revealed there really isn't much he can do. He's literally a mascot for America, a figurehead that represents this country, and not much more. Even the most powerful tool he has, the veto, can be overturned by Congress! So, when you go out and vote, you're really just choosing between a big foam elephant costume or a shiny, satin donkey costume for an out-of-work theater manager to wear while he dances around between plays at high school football games.

You're not picking someone who writes and passes laws or balances a budget or runs governmental agencies like the FDA, DEA, CDC, etc. Congress and the House do all that (or act like they do). They make the laws and they vote on them. They--and their corporate, lobbyist leaders--run this country.

Your presidential vote gives you in the dream. It gives you the illusion of freedom, distracting you from the real players in the game. It's the meatloaf your wife gives you to keep you happy while really she's hooking up with all your friends. It keeps your eyes this way while the rats tear into your back.

There's not much more to say. Your vote is a lie. There's no point. It's a broken system meant to trick you into choosing between two helpless pawns. We want to leave you with something uplifting, the music video for Killer Mike's song "Reagan". Enjoy.

RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG, PART 2: LEGITIMIZING AND ILLEGITIMATE SYSTEM

Click here PART ONE.

The second part of our "RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG" series continues on the heels of the vice presidential debate. If you didn't watch with glee and rapture, here's a link. We obviously aren't voting, but if we had to choose, we'd choose Joe Biden for president 2012. He gets a bad rap from The Media, but he's one of the most entertaining politicians in the mainstream (and one of the poorest politicians out there). The following clip showcases his off-beat humor that The Media, and most of America, just doesn't get.

Classic Biden!

Moving on to the real issues, if you're still not convinced after Part 1, here's possibly the biggest reason not to vote:

VOTING LEGITIMIZES AN ILLEGITIMATE SYSTEM.

The voting system, as we've pointed out, is a sham, but roughly half the country goes out and votes in every presidential election. Worldwide, that's a low number, but it's still way too high. When half of the eligible voters in the United States go out and vote, they're telling each other, and their masters, that they support the system. The system works. The system is good. Two choices, an electoral college, hackable machines, media and financial taint, and all the other grimes aspects of the voting system are A-OK.

People do this all the time. It's called boycotting. When Chik-fil-A declared their hatred for homosexuals, people who support freedom boycotted the chicken joint. When TV pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck go too far, people quit buying their garbage and watching their shows. When companies are found to use slave and child labor, consumers boycott their brands. It's a simple concept. You stop supporting things you don't support.

G. Dub has better things to do.

If you go out and vote this November, you're saying, "Yes, this is a good system, and I support it." If enough people vote, we will continue using this broken, shattered system. Your vote doesn't matter, but your non-vote does. Don't vote. Don't support this system. Support freedom. Stay home. Spend your time doing something important. In the next part we'll explain why your vote truly DOES NOT MATTER.

RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG, PART 1: A SYSTEM IN SHAMBLES

The US presidential election is coming up in a few weeks or something (we really don't care enough to know the date), and according to The Media, it's going to be a huge (or)deal. The election to end all elections. The Big Kahuna. All the other ones were funny one-liners leading up to this joke, and it'll have you in stitches.

We don't know what this means, but it came up in our search. By James S. Baillie, via Wikimedia Commons.

We decided to take you through a few of the reasons why voting is one of the dumbest things you can do this polling season in this three-part series: "RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG".

PART 1: A SYSTEM IN SHAMBLES

In case you hadn't noticed, the US voting system is a joke. It's broken in so many ways, it was hard to know where to start this article. There's the awfully conceived electoral college. Oh, and the security problems with the voting machines themselves. Of course, there's also The Media's evil hand in things. But at the base of it all is arguably the biggest problem: the two-party system.

Fill in the blank. By Tomwsulcer , via Wikimedia Commons.

Freedom of choice is not a freedom granted to Americans. You can speak your mind (ha ha), assemble and protest (lol), have wheelchair accessibility (XD), and vote for your leaders, but you can only choose between these two. The red one or the blue one. Republican or Democrat. You have to shape your views to fit with one of these parties. There are other political parties, but they don't get to hold office. It's true. There are currently two Independents in Congress, and zero in the House. Everyone else is Red or Blue. So pick a party (of the two) and get fired up for politics!

One of the reasons this atrocious two-party system is still in place is because of The Media. They polarize everything. They make every argument two-sided, and for most of the mindless masses, that's fine. It's black or white. Republican or Democrat. There is no grey area portrayed between the two, so there is no grey area between the two.

The Media are told who the choices are and they cut everyone else out. Look at what happened to Ron Paul (two elections in a row!). They lied about voting results, pulled reporters who talked about him, altered polling figures, and downright ignored him. The Mainstream Media have funneled the rats to a choice between two doors, and those are the doors without cheese behind them.

"Publicum" by Sv, via Wikimedia Commons.

Say you reconciled with the fact that you can only choose between two people. You go out to vote and your vote counts. Everyone votes, and the guy with the most votes wins. Democracy, right? Wrong. We have a representative democracy. People who represent us do the real voting in the electoral college. Learn how it works in more detail here, but basically, we peons vote. People look at those figures and cast votes to represent the majority's wishes. Each state has as many votes as it has members of Congress and the House. So, California gets 53 votes, Ohio gets 20, Montana gets 3, and on and on. This is how states like Florida can decide entire elections. All those old people (who are deeply concerned about future generations) stand in the way of one member of the two-party system getting the 270 votes needed to become POTUS. The rest of the states almost always give their votes to the same party, year after year after year.

If those idiotic problems weren't enough, there's the actual voting process itself: the physical process of voting. Ever heard of hanging chads? The culprit of a botched election in 2000. Just one problem among many, though. Did you know just about anyone can hack a voting machine? Fox News told us that years ago! And, no, they haven't fixed the problem. Rigging an election in the US is about as easy as buying two pounds of fried meat at a drive-through.

Read more on Russia Today.

Feel free to dig deeper into these issues for yourself, but we're getting depressed. The bottom line is NO, your vote does not count. The system is a mess. You'd have better luck getting your candidate elected in Athens, circa 500 BC. The way political parties in the US works is biased and anti-freedom-of-choice. How those parties are portrayed by The Media is even worse. And to top it off, the system itself is in shambles. If your vote gets through, and isn't diluted by thousands of fake votes, it is only used as a suggestion for a representative in a ridiculous electoral process that takes entire college courses to explain in full.

We know, it's only part one and things aren't looking too good. Just wait until you see why your vote really doesn't matter in "RIGHT TO VOTE? WRONG, PART 2: LEGITIMIZING AN ILLEGITIMATE SYSTEM".

DEBATE? YOU CAN'T HANDLE DEBATE!

Several Conspiracy Furists have written asking if we're going to cover the "debate". We wanted to write a short response while it's still going on:

No.

By DonkeyHotey, via Wikimedia Commons.

We will probably expose some conspiratorial facets of the debates later in the series, but for now, we think the conspiracy is pretty evident. There are two men onstage. One is the current (possibly illegitimate) president. The other is the illegitimate republican nominee (the voter fraud perpetrated by the GOP spread deep down to even the smallest US counties).

This is not a debate. It's a TV show. It's a commercial. Coke or Pepsi. Red or Blue. We'll cover a debate that gives more contenders an opportunity to speak, one that represents the myriad voices of American citizens (and the people of the world who have to deal with Mr. US President). Until then, tune in if you want, but be sure to watch with metered skepticism.

CURIOSITY? DIDN'T IT KILL THE CAT?

This is what everyone's talking about right now. The landing of NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars. This is the first image back from the rover:

Sorry to be cynical, but we don't think America's "curiosity" drove this $2.5 billion mission forward. Take another look at the image above and imagine anyone you encounter in public being awe-struck by it. We can't wait for the over-sized women in Walmart lines to belch, "That much money for black and white photos of some rocks? Ha! I got them same rocks in the driveway up to my trailer." Sorry to generalize, but seriously.

This is what NASA promised us:

This looks more like scene out of a Michael Bay movie (Transformers 4?). It's exciting. It's fun. It's something we want to watch. And that's what brings us to our point. We aren't saying that Curiosity didn't land on Mars. We aren't saying the images are fake. We aren't saying those seven minutes of "terror" (aka "silence") weren't legitimate. We're saying, what were they distracting us from?

We're big fans of Richard C. Hoagland's Dark Mission, so we don't trust NASA in the first place. As you've read before, we think know there are crazy things going on with Venus. Our best guess is that Venus is the origin of modern man. What's very interesting is that while all this "curiosity" is happening, Venus is behind us doing who knows what. Here's a map of what we mean:

We'll let you rest somewhat easy tonight, high on "America's victory". (On a side note, wasn't John P. Holdren's speech about America, America and America great? Was this a scientific endeavor or a public relations stunt for Obama? Here's what our Leader had to say by the way.)

Hopefully you viewed tonight's events with a sense of skepticism rather than curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat, after all. Don't let it get to you, too.

OBAMA DECEPTION

Ever wonder if the Oscars were rigged? Wonder no more. Here's the best film of the century, and it didn't even get a nod. Watch it for free on YouTube and slump into the deep depression that overpowers those who open their eyes to the Truth of this nation and this world. 

You wake up one night with a gun to your head. It's your leader. He's come to kill you.
