  2. Sticky Thread Sticky: Police Brutality Thread

    A place for threads dedicated to bringing attention to police violence. I have been seeing so much of it that the prospect of even dealing with a police officer makes me a little nervous. http://now.msn.com/now/0417-officer-shoots-dog.aspx?ocid=todnow11 This poor guy lost his dog in his own yard! Cop just shot and killed him. I think it was Anarch that first suggested this. I am gonna second it.

  1. 4000 Wealthy US citizens renounce citizenship and leave the country.

    Throughout my time here at AO, I have said repeatedly to the "tax and spend" crowd that when the tax structure and class warfare rhetoric turns against the wealthy, the wealthy will leave the US and I was told I was wrong. Even though it has happened in other countries (England for example in the early 70's) where the rich fled to nearby countries such as France, according to some on AO, it was not going to happen here. Really? 1800 wealthy American citizens renounced their citizenship in 2011. And from 2005 to 2010, 4000 wealthy American citizens renounced theirs. Imagine how much tax revenue we have lost by their departure. Told you so.... http://www.examiner.com/article/democrats-outraged-smart-money-fleeing-u-s-since-obama-took-office http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2012-05-14/news/31701403_1_bradley-birkenfeld-tax-evasion-ubs-case

  3. Facebooked

    The good news is that NASDAQ is being sued for their sloppy, unprofessionally inbred handling of Facebook-shares' opening last Friday. The bad news is that now NASDAQ-officials can officially use the I can't comment until the ongoing investigation is completed-defense, when confronted with reporters' questions. What a mess... and the toilets are still backing-up. I sort-of watched the prelude and the opening unfold. " The stock-price will be 38-dollars. Gee, this'll return us to the glory-days of the internet stock-boom in '98, blah blah blah... Life is grand... " -Cut to Zuckerberg & Co., ceremoniously ringing-open the NASDAQ trading-day... -Cut to the $38.00 price in the corner of the screen, hanging there unchanged for long minutes.

  6. Poll Poll: Will Greece leave the Euro this weekend?

    If so they will have a 46 hour window to enact much to get it done. They will have to do it after the New York Bond market shuts down at 5PM and before New Zealand's markets open on Monday. It will be tough, but they could do it. They would have many problems and issues to overcome. It will rock the financial world for several days if not weeks. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-22/war-gaming-greek-euro-exit-highlights-hazards-in-46-hour-weekend.html

Hmmm what was that solution called when the NAZIs did it? Oh, the Final Solution. But don't call the GOP Nazis, just because in the 30's and 40's Republicans like Senator Prescott Bush supported Hitler and the Scheme to overthrow FDR and replace him with a dictator so America could join Hitler...

Her campaign has been in desperate damage control mode for two weeks and it doesn’t look like things are going to get any easier. Here’s the latest issue her campaign is going to have to deal with: A 1997 Fordham Law Review piece that refers to Warren as Harvard Law School’s “first woman of color.”

  13. what democracy is truly about

    dominance of the free will for the over dominant to dominate freely... but ladies domination without use of dynamite please. money is always there to remind you how much slave you were and how much master you're gonna be -- just take good care to always master more than you salve -- so democracy is not any different from the 4000BC old world order. the catch is evil dominance is temporary cause there's always greater evil coming sidewise "only goodness is eternal". this kind of democracy is meant only to prevent the mighty will of Infinite Power and Will of EDEN. Will i Want v Won't i Will -- GODDESS A-TANIA JAGODEWILLNA. jweoGpxyxRE kon darko mater ss energia dicklight -- dominance -- B.B. = 1^N x 1^M with N x M = 1.

  17. Post Top 10 Things That The Mainstream Media Are Being Strangely Quiet About

    For those wanting something different from the news, you will have to seek out alternative sources of news, that are willing to discuss the truly earth shattering events that are continually taking place all over the globe. The mainstream media does briefly cover some of the topics in this video but then keep quiet about the subject which should be top news! If the news does not cover these subjects does that mean that they are less real and shunned by the mainstream public? Many people in this world allow their openly thinking minds to be defined by what they hear by the mainstream media while alternative sources of news are shunned. Critical thinking is a skill that is in short supply in the world and most people let their televisions or the top videos on YouTube etc do the thinking for them. So what are some of the things that the mainstream media has been ignoring? The following top 10 things in this video the mainstream media are being strangely silent about. uAHBLBTjVyE

He can only pay up to half of what he makes because of the law in his state. So no matter how many kids he has he still makes the same. The kids just get less and less of their half.

Mohammed Alik Bujabi gets on after doing prayers to Allah and then tries lighting his shoes or underwear or some other bomb he has on. Henry Kissinger? Pat him down! Strip search! Get the probe! Seriously? I do like that they didn't care who he was, if they knew who he was, and that Henry went throught it.(Unlike Rand who pulled the "Do you know who I am?" card) But still. How do we get shoe bomber and underwear bomber on a plane but 9 month olds and old people get searched?
