Somebody sends me lots of human events garbage and they're doing a 365 ways to annoy a liberal and No. 6 of 365 Deploy the Reductio ad Hitleram NO. 1. In the conservative arsenal against liberal smugness, complacency, and general disgustingness, this is the equivalent of the daisy cutter bomb: devastating and unanswerable because it's true. Hitler was a National Socialist. This means liberals, who are socialists in all but name, are Nazis. Should they question this—as they will—refer them to Jonah Goldberg's indispensible Liberal Fascism, in which all is explained: the red in the Nazi flag represents communism; the person largely responsible for the common misconception that Nazism was a movement of the political right was Joseph Stalin—who wanted to hide the embarrassing truth of just how close it was to Soviet communism; the Nazis were no bigger on free enterprise and liberty than the Obama administration is.

All red on any flag ever represents COMMUNISM. Obama corrupted our flag with his Communazisocialiberalessivist cancer over 200 years before he was born in Kenya to indoctrinate us to look upon "red" things favorably and pave the way for his Hitleresque rise to power, by mixing it with white and blue to ease our suspicions. And now, you know how they say red is the color that grabs the attention of the human eye first? It's because of decades upon decades of COMMUNIST conditioning.

Top US Official Murdered After Arkansas Weapons Test Causes Mass Death A shocking report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Foreign Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) states that one of the United States top experts in biological and chemical weapons was brutally murdered after he threatened to expose a US Military test of poison gas that killed hundreds of thousands of animals in Arkansas this past week. According to this report, John P. Wheeler III, Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. from 2005-2008, when he became the Special Assistant to the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Logistics and Environment, was found brutally murdered and dumped in a landfill, and as we can read as reported by Fox News: “Delaware Police are investigating the apparent murder of a former Bush official who also championed the fund-raising effort to build the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Wheeler’s body was found in Wilmington on Friday. According to police, somebody initially reported that the body was dumped out of a refuse truck, which would have been coming from Newark, onto the landfill. Newark Police spokesman Lt. Mark Farrall told Fox News that nobody had reported Wheeler missing before he was found. The Wilmington News Journal reported that Wheeler was last seen riding an Amtrak train from Washington to Wilmington, Del., last Tuesday.” Wheeler’s military career included writing one of the most important manuals on the effectiveness of biological and chemical weapons which led to his being hired in 2009 as a consultant to the Mitre Corporation, whose aviation system development department, the GRU reports, is at the forefront of creating the computer command and control systems used by the US Air Force in their fleet of aerial spraying planes. These aerial spraying planes, this report continues, are based at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas that over the past few months have been involved with ‘test dispersants’ of poisonous gasses in the Afghanistan War Theater using chemical weapons stocks obtained from Iraq and held at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, also located in Arkansas. Important to note about the Pine Bluff Arsenal, which calls itself “America’s Arsenal”, is that it is one of the World’s most specialized munitions and chemical-biological defense products and services bases which Russia had previously accused of not fully reporting the chemical agents removed from Iraq, between 2003 and 2008, and taken to the US for testing and subsequent destruction. According to this report, the US relocated from Iraq to the Pine Bluff Arsenal an estimated 63,000 metric tonnes of the poisonous gas Phosgene that is described as one of the most feared chemical weapons ever used due to its ability to literally cause the lungs and respiratory system to explode. Nearly immediately after Russia accused the US this past summer of not fully destroying Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stockpile the Pine Bluff Arsenal began an ‘accelerated’ disposal programme injecting it deep into the ground in central Arkansas, but which, unfortunately, since this past September, has caused over 500 minor earthquakes to occur raising the concerns of their local population. More frightening, however, is the claim made in this report that the Americans have also begun shipping ‘massive quantities’ of Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stocks to Afghanistan where when used they will be able to say they had nothing to do with it, and believe no one will be able to prove it either. Important to note about Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stocks are that they are no longer able to be made by any Western country, including the United States, which makes its value as a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) incalculable, especially in a war situation like Afghanistan where the enemy forces are firmly entrenched in hostile terrain. To the direct reason for Wheeler’s murder, this report says, was this past week’s transport of Iraqi Phosgene poisonous gas aboard a US Air Force KC-767 tanker aircraft from Little Rock Air Force Base enroute to Afghanistan that shortly after takeoff had a ‘critical malfunction’ of its aerial spraying computer directed command and control system over central Arkansas causing the deaths of thousands of red-wing blackbirds. According to US reports an estimated 4,000 of these birds were killed outright and were quickly removed by US Environmental Services workers wearing hazmat suits and gas masks. Another US report states that cause of death to these thousands of birds was “trauma in the breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and a lot of internal bleeding” which this GRU report states is consistent with Phosgene exposure. Even more chilling than this incident is this GRU report stating that it was the second “accidental” release of Phosgene poisonous gas in as many days, as the day before, this same US Air Force KC-767 tanker aircraft also had a “critical malfunction” causing a release over the Arkansas River that killed over 100,000 fish. Upon Wheeler discovering what was happening with Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stockpiles, this report continues, he traveled from his home in Delaware to Washington D.C. where he openly confronted and threatened to expose the Pentagon and White House Officials responsible. Being a Vietnam Veteran who was responsible for having the famous memorial to that war erected, Wheeler was more than knowledgeable about the United States massive chemical and biological attacks in that conflict and had vowed to not let happen again. Sadly, but all too common in the United States these days, when Wheeler threatened to go public with what was happening he was targeted for death, and as a “sign” to anyone else thinking of going against the regime, had his body dumped in a garbage pit for all the World to see. Today, another great American was murdered in an effort to save his country from destruction. Sadly, his death will go barely noticed; the American people seem no longer to care as they continue to seek their solace in their propaganda media lies rather than confronting the brutal truth about the monsters they have let rule over them. For hundreds of thousands of other Americans they have become so disassociated with what is happening to, and around them, they have proclaimed May 21, 2011 as the day the World will end and are giving up everything in preparing to meet their God. The great American Revolutionary leader Noah Webster once said, “Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country.” The Americans living today have utterly failed to heed these words and have, instead, become just what their masters have always intended for them to be… imbeciles. May God have mercy on them all.

A small difference maybe, but big enough for a true biblehead to drive a truck through. This is more solid. Not only is poly-cotton a sin, most ranchers and famers will faith god's wrath.

The implication that phosgene is somehow a new, secret, and hard-to-manufacture weapon is hilarious. I could probably go down to the chemistry lab and make phosgene in ten minutes. It only takes a 19th century understanding of chemistry to make, and it's been in use since WWI. It causes chemical burns in the lungs, just like a zillion other highly reactive gasses. It's still lethal, but it's actually a pathetic weapon compared to the very real chemical weapons the United States has stockpiled. Someone trying to blow the whistle on deadly phosgene gas stockpiles would be laughed at, not murdered. Phosgene is a precursor to polyethylene plastics, so I'm sure it's actually sitting in industrial plant stockpiles all over the world right now. NEWSFLASH: Industrial chemicals can kill if you spray them all over the country for no reason! Arglebargle III fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Jan 8, 2011 |

The assertion that the US no longer possesses the technology to make phosgene is especially rich. You want the secret formula for deadly poison gas? Take a clear glass bottle, and put some chlorine and carbon dioxide in it. Shouldn't be hard because they're both heavier than air. (They're both poisons at high concentrations anyway, so why are you making phosgene you dirty Iraqi?) Leave the bottle out in the sun for a few days. Congratulations, terrorist, you've made phosgene! Making phosgene in industrial quantities is as simple as pumping chlorine and carbon dioxide through a carbon filter. You could literally make phosgene at home with cleaning products and a water filter. Like I said, any high school chemistry lab could produce phosgene in lethal quantities. And this is supposed to be a big chemical weapons conspiracy. Next they'll be accusing Iraqis of producing odorless, colorless, lethal carbon monoxide in thousands of mobile factories cleverly disguised as commuter vehicles.

I lost this thought earlier for obvious reasons, but I was going to post this. I met my parents for breakfast this morning, and they were talking about how its the busiest December my father has ever seen for his small business. Then they began talking about the economy and my mom says it's getting better. She has no proof but it just feels like it's getting better. (I think it is too but I'm demonstrating the type of academic review my parents take on the issues of the day). Anyway, according to my dad, businesses all over are doing so much better because "that whole tax thing is setlled for the next couple years." referring to the Bush tax cut extension.  As a side note, his town has a median household income of $27k.

THE CARE BILL HB3200 THIS IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX ** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally. ** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts. ** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN). ** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?) ** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees. ** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. ** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception. ** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..) ** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order. HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on: "Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."

Congress is very rarely this mustache twirling evil, their evil is hidden under "good intentions" and false altruism. It's apparent how these writers lack subtlety and shades of gray. anyway here's my contribution: quote:I have heard that during Clinton years, the Army issued new basic training recruits "Stress Cards" at select training bases as part of a test program. I read about them but they weren't using them when I was in. If I remember correctly, it was a little yellow card that they gave you. Apparently if things were getting tough for you in basic, you could flash the card and the DI would back off and give you a "break" so you could compose yourself. The standing joke was that the color of the card spoke for itself... The idea, if I remember right, was heavily criticized (and rightfully so, what are you going to do in real life when the bullets start to fly, pull out the stress card and hope the bad guys stop shooting at you?) and the idea was eventually canned. Yeah gently caress psychological well being props to that sergeant for being a MAN'S MAN OORAH! (Also Clinton) Well turns out stress cards did exist but absolutely nothing like that:  It was more of an informational pamphlet for support groups than a "card".
