Violent Rhetoric In The US Is Common BUT Often STARTED By The War Party {2 Late 2 Stop It Now}7/27/2013  Background: The Drug War Debate: An Introductory Overview The Tea Party & Majority of Libertarians Were Co-opted By The Koch Brothers In 2009 GOP/Tea-Party Nonsense In A Nutshell: Outsiders are "Nazis" Goldman Sachs Aluminum Scam Simplified For USA Business Media Folk Congress Doesn't Care About The Constitution Or Any Citizen Rights, Or So It Seems, As This Proof Proves James and the Giant Speech: After Jimmy Hoffa Jr. warms up the crowd at a Labor Day rally, the Tea Party and conservatives suddenly develop an allergic reaction to violent rhetoric. (04:59): 1. Incitements to violence for motivating the political base; 2. Suppression of individuality and rationality in a large group (and the creation of an effective emotional political response irrespective of facts); 3. Both sides (the somewhat accurate and the almost completely inaccurate) use the same tactics as its necessary in American politics... The ones promoting violence like the Nazis did are on Fox News but the peaceful folk are the ones they say are the Nazis. As a comparison they ignore tons of pages of war crimes and focus on the drones strikes of Obama & other GOP members of the CIA. I got hundreds to thousands of dead for Obama but 1.2 Million as a consequence of Bush, yet the GOP's channel says nothing about this! And Fox News/Biz gives the GOP a million dollars so it's not like they are not connected, fox news doesn't talk about anything that interferes with it's mission of promoting oil company and war factory interests. Be it giving no-bid contracts to Halliburton, ignoring oil crimes for years, a Texas factory explosion that defies explanation in so many ways it's not funny. And of course, complete silence on the Invisible War in the Military (thus making it invisible to begin with AND FOR GOOD REASON!) - being the "war party" this actually makes sense. It's NOT moral in any way. It just makes sense. War is immoral and so isFox News & Fox Business. It's what they are.

Yet, Bill O Reilly felt compelled to speak and make a fool of himself. Why? - Possible answer is here. 2:30 "The segment was for Megyn Kelly to take offense to not you". Jon Stewart  , The GUY RUNNING FOX NEWS WAS WITH NIXON DURING WATERGATE!!!!!!!!!!! He Says:  Fox News IS The Channel That LOVES To Demonize (it;s a standard War Party strategy). In fact, "wedge issues" are the very definition of demonization:  Later, when Ann Romney became a part of the election cycle, Fox News said, unanimously, that women shouldn't be insulted. It's true. Fox News hypocrisy knows no bounds. Such as when they rebrand a section of thier corporation "Business" and everyone buys it. This brings me to another very serious problem. The dumbing down of the United States. Covered here in detail: "The Dumbing Down of America" Example 1 - Cartoons "The Dumbing Down of America" Example 2 - Sarah Palin "The Dumbing Down of America" Example 3 - Michelle Bachman The State of US Education and The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America Violent rhetoric in the US is very common here are a few examples from Fox "Business": 1. From John Stossel = "I think it will take visible riots to help people focus on this thing" (i.e. he is suggesting to his followers that 'we may have to riot'!)- example of violent rhetoric on the extreme right by its true believers - connects with tea party and ideological economics. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1042453656001/can-the-us-learn-from-greece/ What Stossel is promoting (such as with Iran here) is standard Fox-News/GOP's party line. To cause harm to US Citizens through violence. Links Glenn Beck advocates violence... A look at Glenn Beck & his tendency to promote extreme forms of violence . [People like Glenn Beck having political and social power scare me the most - To understand why please watch this video.] . Instead of violent rhetoric I think the sources of the problems need to be rooted out as I explained here (i.e. aggressively and not the way outlined in GOP funded Liberal Think Tanks). This will be the result of these violent promotions by Fox News if they achieve thier rioting goal: 1. "He says looting makes "powerless people suddenly feel powerful" and that is "very intoxicating"." -http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14463452 . 2. Simple opportunity for lawlessness by the breakdown of infrastructure -http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/07/dayintech_0713 3. Normal behaviour motivated by greed or heartlessness or simply living by the law of the streets - an example of a complete breakdown of law http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14456065 4. DAILY SHOW LINK: Compared to discord in Pakistan or even other riots in the US, Britain is very tame - at 2mins and 40 secs, check out the looters standing in line to loot (there were also images of looters helping each other under glass windows etc. - took 2 days for 'batons' to be allowed... no one has guns etc.) The many perspectives on the Britain riots: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14483149 - The LA riots were much more violent (there is literally no comparison): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-14501282 The anger at the violent reaction created its own mass movement: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-14490167 The problem of the rumor mill that leads to mass hysteria (at local, national or global levels) and is something that the US media does on a regular basis with its fear marketing (though that may have gone down?), Fox news has taken this fear mongering to criminal levels(IMO): http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14490693 Another look at the origin of the 2 reactions in England; "Are they rioters, which implies a political objection, looters, which doesn't, or vandals, etc? It's interesting too that a lot of the people cleaning up embraced the Sun's 'scum' so readily, a reflexive response of anger." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-14506159 . Side Note: The fall of the currency has been a major drumbeat amougnst the Koch Brother Libertarians. This hyperinflation result was predicted for 2001. Then 2012. Now 2013? We have to accept that the Fox Business Libertarians don't understand the economy anymore than a 10 year old. Who, besides the EXTREMELY old & decrepit, are the only ones who believe their crap). But yes, in every outright lie there is a kernel of truth. For QE the kernel of truth is this: "As the Bank of England prepares to vote on quantitative easing, a report argues the extra cash 'exacerbates already extreme income inequality'". Which actually helps the Koch Brothers and any oil manipulations they may be up to. So Fox Business needs to re-think their incitement strategy. Maybe even get an education if the most recent news is any measure of their knowledge: The new form of communist/fascist/socialist government is actually crony capitalism (i.e. people doing WHATEVER thier corporate bosses say) and it looks like this... Public Employee Union vs. Wall Street Bonus Contracts... In this case you will notice that contract law is supported for Wall Street firms that have already gone bankrupt and only exist because of taxpayer money, while not supporting Public Unions who Ronald Reagan said enhanced freedom as if you don't have the freedom to form public unions then "freedom is lost". An example of how Reagan is continuously saying the opposite of what the Tea Party/GOP wants: Also, Notice That Judge Napolitano has been following standard GOP policy when trying to incite violence. This violent approach to a possible drone (that could be just a remote controlled kids plane, a pizza delivery from Dominos or a bird - considering GOP follower obervation capabilities, backed by the Supreme Court I might add - is backed by a violent shock jock by the name of Alex Jones (who claims there is some GOP revolution rising but Adam Kokesh proves regularly that that's not the case, it's just some kids who know the truth of Government in this internet age and Alex Jones is trying to help herd them into the arms of the GOP through it's Koch Brother Libertarian outreach program led by Fox Biz Libertarians & people like Alex Jones): Judge Andrew Napolitano has warned Congress not to act “like potted plants” regarding the increased use of unmanned surveillance drones without warrants over US skies by military, government, and law enforcement agencies. Echoing the recent comments of his Fox News colleague Charles Krauthammer, Napolitano also said that “The first American patriot that shoots down one of these drones that comes too close to his children in his backyard will be an American hero.” VIDEO - From Bill Moyers David Stockman on Crony Capitalism - January 20, 2012- http://billmoyers.com/segment/david-stockman-on-crony-capitalism/ Moyers & Company explores the tight connection between Wall Street and the White House with David Stockman, former budget director for President Reagan. Now a businessman who says he was “taken to the woodshed” for telling the truth about the administration’s tax policies, Stockman speaks candidly with Bill Moyers about how money dominates politics, distorting free markets and endangering democracy. “As a result,” Stockman says, “we have neither capitalism nor democracy. We have crony capitalism.” Stockman shares details on how the courtship of politics and high finance have turned our economy into a private club that rewards the super-rich and corporations, leaving average Americans wondering how it could happen and who’s really in charge. “We now have an entitled class of Wall Street financiers and of corporate CEOs who believe the government is there to do… whatever it takes in order to keep the game going and their stock price moving upward,” Stockman tells Moyers. The problem here is powerful, privately owned enterprises, who finance such warmongers as above and who influence the nations wealth by having connections into the Government (which in the case of 2008 involved the biggest theft in history, which the Corporate Media Cronies is helping to cover up) i.e. Crony Capitalism – [Visualized] http://www.thevisualeverything.com/2011/12/crony-capitalism-visualized/   Explanations: 1. Socialism by Robert Heilbroner (Article From Library of Economics): "Socialism—defined as a centrally planned economy in which the government controls all means of production" http://www.culturesocietyblog.com/2009/05/socialism-by-robert-heilbroner.html 2. What Is Capitalism? http://www.culturesocietyblog.com/2009/04/what-is-capitalism.html 3. Summary of "Socialism", Keynesian Economics & "Road to Serfdom" (by F.A.Hayek) i.e. USA has a market based healthcare approach (good) made by crony capitalists (bad) Obamacare, brought to you by Johnson & Johnson: When push comes to shove, corporate interests will always have the upper hand in determining public policy (i.e. it was made by a corporation - A CAPITALIST! ) Obamacare architect heads to Big Pharma: Liz Fowler again exemplifies the blurred lines betweenthe healthcare industry and Washington Big Pharma Allies: Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross -- they're allies, not competitors, when it comes to stopping a public plan Lobbyists: Their influence on Washington dates back to the days of Lincoln -- and it only seems to be growing  "Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."-George Washington Socialism is when ALL factors of production are provided by the State - basic econ 101 definition - (the healthcare bill is market based from Heritage Institute based on Romney care). The GOP & Fox News call anything that goes against Ayn Rand's business survival fiction "socialist". - But, logic doesn't work. The guy's running Fox News are being investigated for 9/11 phone hacking in England and close associates of Rupert Murdoch HAVE BEEN CHARGED - Also, FOX NEWS IS CONTROLLED BY AN OLIGARCH WHOSE ASSOCIATES ARE BEING INVESTIGATED AND BEING CHARGED WITH CRIMES... Most recently Rupert Murdoch's close family friend was charged with perjury... Rebekah Brooks...has an interesting history with Murdoch... In March 2003 she courted controversy -- and hinted at the scandal to come -- when, appearing before a government committee, she admitted that her paper had paid police officers for information. Brooks held the Sun post until 2009 when she was handpicked for the role of News International chief executive by the paper's owner, media magnate Rupert Murdoch. The pair had been close for many years: Murdoch is said to treat Brooks like a daughter.

If you listen To Cato OR Heritage then you are a "Koch Brother Libertarian". "The Koch Brothers" "The Koch Brothers are worth $50 billion. They’ve bankrolled the Tea Party, the campaign against climate change science, and entire university departments to advance their right-wing agenda. The newest item on their shopping list: their own Center for American Progress." Republicans Attempt to Ax Program Monitoring CarcinogensThe National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, publishes the biannual Report on Carcinogens, which is one of the primary sources of up-to-date public information about chemicals that are known or suspected causes of cancer. The report has been published since 1980, in response to a directive from Congress. But if Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-Mont.) gets his way, soon we might lose this detailed information about the chemicals putting us at risk. Heritage is also a Koch created and funded institute: Connections:1. "Before joining Heritage in June 2007, Loris was an associate at the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, immersing himself for a year in a market-based management program." ,2. "Total Koch foundation grants 1997-2009: $3,976,571"3. Sourcewatch: A list of Koch Funded Orgs Then there are the lies about the Keystone pipeline. It doesn't create long term jobs. It will create fuel over 2 decades. It will cause earthquakes as well. The Koch Brothers have enough money to survive earthquakes and tsunamis. Most of the rest of the population doesn't. Amnesties/Tax-Breaks/help for the rich and death for common Citizens is another aspect of "Corporatism". Koch company declared 'substantial interest' in Keystone XL pipeline: Document filed with Canada's Energy Board appears to cast doubt on claims by Koch Industries that it has no interest in the controversial pipeline. BLOG POST: The Koch Brothers ARE Waging War On Obama & US Citizens! GOP's radioactive anti-Obama rhetoric (CNN) -- The debates this presidential primary season have been less like Lincoln-Douglas than former heavyweight champ Buster Douglas -- punch-drunk pugilism, providing entertainment and some great upsets along the way. But for all the excitement of the fights, there is a civic cost to the radioactive rhetoric that gets thrown out to excite the conservative crowds. It's not just that the most irresponsible candidates can play to the base and get a boost in the polls, while more sober-minded candidates like Jon Huntsman fail to get attention. The real damage is to the process of running for president itself. Because when low blows get rewarded, the incentive to try to emulate Lincoln -- holding yourself to a higher standard -- is diminished. And one barometer of this atmospheric shift is in the increasingly overheated rhetoric by candidates attacking the current president. This serial disrespect ends up unintentionally diminishing the office of president itself. Look, I know that politics is a full-contact sport: Elbows get thrown and egos get bruised. But ask yourself if Ronald Reagan ever called Jimmy Carter a socialist or a communist on the stump. Sure, there were deep philosophical and policy disagreements between them, and Carter was called a failed president many times. But there was a lingering respect for the office that retained an essential bit of dignity. It was only the far-right fringe who indulged in the kind of rhetoric we now hear routinely from presidential candidates.

Tucson's Mexican-American Studies Ban: Al Madrigal travels to Arizona, where the powerful evidence of hearsay convinced the Tucson school board to ban Mexican-American studies programs. To understand why Latino's have been attacked so hard by the GOP-Republicans, you have to understand their standard party political strategy, which all of them (except Ron Paul) use... GOP-Republican: The Southern Strategy The Southern Strategy is the policy of the Republican Party in the United States to gain political support in the Southern section of the country. Politically, the concept generally uses themes traditionally supported by residents of the Southern states to win election in those locations. Since segregation continued well into the late 20th century in the region, the Republican Party officially attempted to utilize this wedge issue as a way of garnering support for their political faction in these states. In addition to the issue of segregation between white residents and African Americans, the party also utilized Southern values of religion, gun control and a distrust of counterculture to win votes. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Republican Party generally opposed desegregation and the Civil Rights Movement. This stance caused a major shift in the voting practices of the African American community to the support of the Democratic Party, the faction which helped legislate laws such as the Voting Rights Act. Party officials, specifically President Richard Nixon's political strategist Kevin Phillips, understood that in order for the Republicans to win the Southern states, they needed to focus their attention on the Caucasian population. The implementation of the Southern Strategy by the Republican Party represented a major shift in political power in the region. Since the Civil War, the Democratic Party was the primary force in the South due to its support of the region during Reconstruction. In addition, the Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln was seen as the primary instigator of the war by most Southern residents. Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the South shifted to major support for the Republicans. At the same time, much of the North and the West became a major supporter of Democrats. In other words, the establishment Republicans (i.e Newt, Mitt, Santorum - those following standard party policy) are using the natural racism of the South (see background above) to get votes. This racism has been fanned by the GOP and Fox News to a point where it has become extremely toxic. Related Blog Posts: Do Fox News People Even Watch Their Own Channel?

His lawyer is seeking a new trial." 2. "The Death Penalty Information Center keeps an "Innocence List" which names incarcerated people who have been exonerated since 1973. There are 119 to date. The criteria for inclusion on the list are: "In order to be included on the list, defendants must have been convicted and sentenced to death, and subsequently either: a) their conviction was overturned and they were acquitted at a re-trial, or all charges were dismissed; or b) they were given an absolute pardon by the governor based on new evidence of innocence." Famous Speeches From Movies: To Kill a Mockingbird. Notice that To Kill A Mocking Bird is a fiction book ABOUT the South well AFTER the civil war. Notice where the black people are. In the deep South the fear of the black man (from old white women) STILL exists. Seeing blacks as lower than them to a point where there is no shame in calling people 'other black' and 'our blacks' ('our blacks', I think, was famously used by Ann Coulter). To Kill A Mocking Bird is a MUST READ to understand the South, for outsiders. Excellent example of Southern "Justice" (NON-Fiction): “Anatomy of Injustice”: Death in a small town Note: In To Kill A Mocking Bird, at the end, the all-white jury ruled to have the black guy killed. Notice Mitt Romney's strategy is to blame everything on the black guy EXACTLY like To Kill A Mocking Bird... with an almost all white male election base which is so outdated they have resorted to election fraud rather than be compassionate. There was even a book by John Grisham covering this Southern Tradition in his own way in A Time To Kill Interesting fact: Many members of the Nazi's found a home in the confederate South.

Related: Frank Luntz Explains Basic Emotional Manipulation Techniques Bill O Reilly & Newt Gingrich Demonstrate The Southern Strategy Newt also has been heavily supported by The Koch Brothers... From Mother Jones: They included Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who along with his wife has given a staggering $10 million to a pro-Newt Gingrich super-PAC. Guests reportedly pledged a total of $40 million to the effort to oust Obama, with Charles and David Koch promising an additional $60 million. The Koch Brothers are well-known for their war on Obama, on black people (by causing cancer!) Previous Statement by Newt Gingrich On "Their Blacks" (News Report):“Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works,” the former House speaker said at a campaign event at the Nationwide Insurance offices. “So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day. They have no habit of ‘I do this and you give me cash,’ unless it’s illegal.” Newt even goes after Obama despite the hypocrisy of doing so with his own contractual relationship with FreddieMac (in his contract he wasn't allowed to do ANYTHING without PRIOR approval from FreddieMac)... Here is what Andrew Jackson did...
1. Historian Adam Wasserman's account of Andrew Jackson's excursion into Spanish Florida to destroy the "Negro Fort" situated on the mouth of the Appalachicola River in Florida. The "Negro Fort" was a free black settlement that served as a rendezvous for fugitive slaves from the Southern states. 2. Andrew Jackson loved attacking and killing people... Jackson invades FloridaJackson gathered his forces at Fort Scott in March 1818, including 800 U.S. Army regulars, 1,000 Tennessee volunteers, 1,000 Georgia militia,[23] and about 1,400 friendly Lower Creek warriors. On March 15, Jackson's army entered Florida, marching down the Apalachicola River. When they reached the site of the Negro Fort, Jackson had his men construct a new fort, Fort Gadsden. The army then set out for the Mikasuki villages around Lake Miccosukee. The Indian town of Tallahassee was burned on March 31, and the town ofMiccosukee was taken the next day. More than 300 Indian homes were destroyed. Jackson then turned south, reaching St. Marks on April 6.[24] At St. Marks Jackson seized the Spanish fort. There he found Alexander George Arbuthnot, a Scottish trader working out of the Bahamas. He traded with the Indians in Florida and had written letters to British and American officials on behalf of the Indians. He was rumored to be selling guns to the Indians and to be preparing them for war. He probably was selling guns, since the main trade item of the Indians was deer skins, and they needed guns to hunt the deer.[25] Two Indian leaders, Josiah Francis, a Red Stick Creek, also known as the "Prophet" (not to be confused with Tenskwatawa), and Homathlemico, had been captured when they had gone out to an American ship flying the British Union Flag that had anchored off of St. Marks. As soon as Jackson arrived at St. Marks, the two Indians were brought ashore and hanged.[26] Jackson left St. Marks to attack villages along the Suwannee River, which were occupied primarily by fugitive slaves. On April 12, the army found a Red Stick village on the Econfina River. Close to 40 Red Sticks were killed, and about 100 women and children were captured. In the village, they found Elizabeth Stewart, the woman who had been captured in the attack on the supply boat on the Apalachicola River the previous November. Harassed by Black Seminoles along the route, the army found the villages on the Suwannee empty. About this time, Robert Ambrister, a former Royal Marine and self-appointed British "agent", was captured by Jackson's army. Having destroyed the major Seminole and black villages, Jackson declared victory and sent the Georgia Militia and the Lower Creeks home. The remaining army then returned to St. Marks.[27] 3. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 – Trail of Tears Throughout decades of English immigrants and the formation of the United States, Native Americans were continually mistreated. They were looked at as “savages” and were made slaves. The English had no tolerance of them and many wanted them dead. This was mostly because they did not share religious beliefs and they did not share the same way of living. Natives were killed by attack after attack. Their crops were destroyed by settlers leaving them dying of starvation. On May 28, 1830, Andrew Jackson enacted the Indian Removal Act as a means to “trade” land which lied on the eastern side of the Mississippi where the Native Americans resided. In return, the Native Americans would be given land which was designated for them west of the Mississippi. Within the treaty there were some important terms of conditions in which the President guaranteed these different nations. Jackson promised the protection of tribes from all outside forces while they were o the newly designated land. The act also guaranteed “aid” for those who were moving and needed help in doing so. In one paragraph it was stated that the land which was traded was to always belong to the tribes, regardless if it was them or their successors living on it. (There was however one exception to this rule. It stated in the treaty that if the “Indians become extinct, or abandon the same” then “…such lands shall revert to the United States”). With all of these promises and more from President Andrew Jackson, five different tribes decided to move to the other side of the Mississippi. Their destination was Oklahoma which was known as Indian Territory. This began the incredible (albeit deadly) move of over 70,000 Native Americans within the span of ten years. This trek is sadly known as the Trail of Tears. The move from east to west proved to be more destructive to the tribes than it was helpful. What seemed to be a fair trade soon turned a terrible ordeal as many people died from the move. Native Americans died from exhaustion and starvation from the long journey. Over 3,000 Natives of the Cherokee tribe alone died on the Trail of Tears. This was not to mention all of those who died once they arrived in Oklahoma. American Genocide the Trail of Tears Newt Gingrich just keeps talking nonsense and people believe it. It makes sense that Sarah Palin would believe Newt as she's a prime example of the broken education system in the States ... but so many people! That's a bad sign for intelligence and humanity in the whole ofAmerica!
