Bizarre mind-control techniques at Wall St. protests

Promoted from diaries. – Moe Lane Comments about the live stream of the Wall Street protests on the Occupy Cleveland Facebook page: Decbaal Occupy Chattanooga Viatos Why does the crowd repeated everything a speaker says? Ally Burge because megaphones are not permitted, the crowd repeats what the speaker says when they pause so that everyone [...]

The AFL-CIO’s Orwellian Boss To Occupy Wall St. Protesters: Daddy loves you, kids…

A: Today’s union bosses. Earlier this week, led by the 38,000 member TWU Local 100, several New York unions (including three large New York  SEIU locals and the United Federation of Teachers) pledged their support to the Occupy Wall Street protesters.  The union plan, so far, is to march on October 5th from Zuccotti Park (where [...]

Disgraced ‘green jobs czar,’ ‘truther’ and admitted communist to lead extremist ‘American Autumn’

Van Jones resigned as President Obama’s so-called “green jobs czar” in 2009. Or as we put it then, “Truth ousts Obama’s ‘Truther’ czar.” The Jones resignation was an attempt to stop the damage to Obama from the revelations that Jones signed the “9/11 truther” statement — which alleges government complicity in the 9/11 terror attacks, [...]

I told you people she was not running

It is now October even in Alaska and Sarah Palin has not announced by her own deadline. I guess she could still do it this month. But if she can’t even keep to her own deadline and hasn’t really had a job for two years and could have made up her mind, why keep stringing [...]

It’s 3am ET and 11pm in Alaska. No Palin Announcement

One more hour. I’m assuming we won’t stretch this out to the International Date Line.

It’s 2am ET and 10 pm in Alaska. Hasn’t happened.

The national suicide prevention hotline is 1-800-273-8255 in case anyone wants to keep it handy. I’m hoping we don’t have a Hale Bopp moment.

It is 1am ET and 9pm in Alaska. Still no announcement

And if she announces now, she’ll totally have missed the morning papers on the east coast.

It is 12:00 AM on October 1. But It’s Still September 30th in Alaska

That’s right. I’m just going to keep this going. Because it is still September 30th in Alaska.

Tech at Night: AT&T, T-Mobile competition roundup, Verizon sues the FCC over Net Neutrality for keeps this time [Fixed]

So, Net Neutrality has been published. Now nothing can stop Verizon’s lawsuit over the illegal power grab. Remember: the FCC has tried this before, when they went after Comcast. They lost. It’s not unreasonable to expect them to lose again. Meanwhile, federalism continues to be trashed as Puerto Rico jumps into the game. They don’t [...]
