Worth a watch. "Hit Reset," indeed. Then again, maybe dumb people will assume that this is made up. Dumb people have a habit of assuming that true things are fiction, and fictitious things -- like Obama -- are true. For example, some people were surprised to find out The Martian was not based on real events. They thought we'd already been to Mars. Moon, Mars. Both start with M's, both have four letters.

Good timing! Just got back from seeing the documentary "The Martian". Two opposable thumbs up!

What are we discussing here? Haven't looked at the TV since ace told us to turn them off - when was that, earlier this year? Actually down to about 1 - 2 hours per week (leaving out sports events that are social, not about TV). Don't even watch the cooking/food shows any more. Haven't seen TV "news" in ..... 8, 9 years? But it's OK. I see the dummification all around us, the ignorance, the false knowledge, the lack of critical thinking, so I know that TV is as bad as ever, and getting worse.

Well ... the first suggestion of troops, doctors and elementary school teachers is fairly silly. That stuff doesn't work until you beat their brains out and force an unconditional surrender of those who are left. And elementary school teachers are rather useless, in any case. Just look at that crap that elementary school teachers, here, are doing.
The parking lot idea for one minor city is a good start, but it isn't any sort of answer - just a mild suggestion as to how to proceed. The key to threats emanating from the arab/persian/muslim world is pretty simple - all threats from the APM world start and stop with control of the gulf oil fields. Period. Those fields are the one and only source of the APM world's power. They provide the money through the revenues and they provide the political power through the fact that oil is the world's lifeblood. Nothing will change so long as the APM world remains in control of the gulf fields, which they all stole in the forced nationalization waves of the mid 20th century. All threats from the APM world start and stop with control of the gulf oil fields. Everything else is near-meaningless commentary.

Been wondering when someone would mention Homeland's season premier. Was eerily timely and on point. Takes place in Germany, many references to Syrian refugee crisis/chaos, US Intel data breaches and how deadly serious they are and then Quinn's cold cup of coffee reality check speech. Though I have a sneaking suspicion the German philanthropist will end up being a bad guy. Still, the ladies love Quinn's character, and he is a stone cold badMF, maybe they'll listen to him speak the hard truth. Here's hoping. Posted by: Goldilocks at October 08, 2015 02:54 PM (Lj5vT) 78

I think the idea would be to educate and yes, indoctrinate, the next generation in order to Westernize them. Not saying it would necessarily work, but Lenin may have been onto something when he spoke about being given one generation of youth/four years to teach the children.
I understand that but it doesn't really work. To reacculturate a population - which is what we are really supposed to be talking about - takes a hell of a lot more than just trying to indoctrinate the kids. reacculturation requires taking control of all levels of society and forcibly changing everything that needs changing. Elementary school teachers (and, yes, I realize that was just used as a small example .. at least, I hope it was) are the tiniest bit of that ... almost insignificant. Certainly not worth mentioning as some sort of key. It's been working on our kids to indoctrinate them to "progressive" thought. Posted by: Insomniac at October 08, 2015 02:57 PM (2Ojst) I don't know about "working" but I made the point that the teachers here teach total anti-Western bullshit, to begin with, so what would anyone expect us to be pushing for elementary school teachers that were being proposed for them? We would do better to clean up our own crappy elementary school teachers than to worry about sending the same group of anti-Western retards over there, or at least, sending the same anti-Western retarded curricula over there to grow new generations of Western-haters among the APMs. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 08, 2015 03:03 PM (zc3Db) 128

The problem with controlling the world oil supply is that a lot of it is located where a bunch of A/P/M's live.
Actually, almost none actually live on the oil fields. You gonna kill em all so you can get the oil? Posted by: JT2 at October 08, 2015 03:00 PM (3hezO) Taking the oil fields wouldn't really call for killing scads of APMs ... but if it was needed, then ... that's what war is. I proposed the clear solution to this serious problem. I didn't say that it would be clean. No real war is. But taking the oil fields and neutering the APM world would be the cleanest and easiest way to go about things. Anything less would leave us with a serious threat that we would have to address, militarily, over and over and over. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 08, 2015 03:06 PM (zc3Db) 145

The problem with controlling the world oil supply is that a lot of it is located where a bunch of A/P/M's live.
BTW, I didn't say "control the world's oil supply". I only said that the APM world cannot be allowed to maintain control fo the gulf oil fields. This isn't about the world's supply but only that the APM world is detached from the oil fields that provide their power - financial, military, and political .... which is, of course, the first thing one usually thinks about when confronted with such an enemy.

Speaking of Television Series
I just watched Season one of Breaking Bad. I'd never seen any of it. A wimpy high school teacher turns away from a position as evil corporate multimillionaire to teach chemistry to disinterested white kids of privilege. Forced, through no fault of his own, into a life of crime where he fumbles his way toward learning the business of distribution of methamphetamines and learns how to deal with murderous criminals. Ignoring the terrible effect meth has on kids and the community because he needs the money. Ya, a liberal's dream. I also watched season one of Justified which was even worse with it's Hollywood stereotypes of Kentucky red neck meth cookers and their war for control of the drug trade in the county. So I watched Josie Wales and it doesn't age well when you notice the Hollywood diversity cast of characters. So I have this idea I'm trying to develop. Start with the opening scene of "How to Murder Your Wife" only instead of an Italian woman who doesn't speak English, make it an ET Alien wookie that you wake up married to. Why the hell not?

"Was it BIG?"
Sadly underwhelming. There were only 6 mammoths on site. The rest are in storage at the museum at Baylor. I mean, it was a cool idea. They built a bridge over the dig site and put a building around it. My 10 year old nerded out and asked a million and one questions and had a great time, but it would have been much cooler if they had all the mammoths there. There was, however, a camel hanging out with the mammoth fossils. That was pretty unexpected. It's a guided tour though and it takes about 30 minutes, so it's good for a quick pit stop on the way between Dallas and Austin. Posted by: Lauren at October 08, 2015 03:28 PM (bYGAR) 249

No shocker to learn that King doesn't even understand the meaning of the term, I guess. No, you pathetic, unstable, clueless buffoon - a "banana republic" is where rule of law is unravelling, from above and below. Where the worst elements of society seek short-term material gain, or to destroy the objects of their hate and bigotry, without regard to any decency or social norms - and without any shaming or push-back from their nominal "opposition".

"Google says Mammoth Park is in Pennsylvania.
I guess that's a different one. My first thought was of Mammoth Cave." Hmm it probably has some other official name. It's the newest national park, apparently. Ok looked it up. Officially it's Waco Mammoth National Monument So I guess newest national monument? I don't know. All Ik now is they were super excited that they were now OMG part of the National Park Service.

Yeah, they prefer to make all sorts of unsavory characters sympathetic nowadays.
However, this meth cooker is not so sympathetic as you see him destroy himself and everyone around him. Posted by: Lizzy at October 08, 2015 03:40 PM (NOIQH) True, but, the writing was so good that it made me be on Team Walter and absolutely loathe Skyler. I loved Walter's brainpower being a huge part of the plot.

While Walter White was seen sympathetically by the lunatic fringe, he really was an asshole and a murderer. People who were kind to him he destroyed and this was even in the very beginning. Remember the poor janitor? Worse, he corrupted those around him to also become evil. Oddly, the other day, I could see whey someone would break bad. You can only take so much shit in this world. However, you cant break bad without hurting a lot of innocent people. Even the libertarian chemist guy. What he did caused people's death an no amount of Reason bullshite can excuse it.

>>"The series stars Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison, a Central Intelligence Agency officer with bipolar disorder"
Yeah, it was clear from interviews with the show's creators they thought this was a cool way to give a crazy-smart CIA analyst character some interesting flaws, but....I found it made the show unwatchable. I' occasional watch, but it gets annoying fast, because seriously, why would you have someone that freakin' unstable in charge of anything, let alone a foreign office in the ME with the power to supervise drone strikes, etc?

However, this meth cooker is not so sympathetic as you see him destroy himself and everyone around him. Posted by: Lizzy at October 08, 2015 03:40 PM (NOIQH) The thing is that he is somewhat sympathetic. But I remember here someone once saying that the shows creator had as one of his goals to be that the viewers would all give up on Walter eventually. So with that in mind it becomes a question of when did you see him as the bad guy. Posted by: Buzzion at October 08, 2015 03:55 PM (z/Ubi) 340
What the killer is about any of this, is that in the midst of the leading edge of the shit storm that we are in now, and the really brutal mass of the storm that is on the horizon, is that Obama still has so many acolytes who are willing to bet all of our lives on their insane continued belief that he is 'the answer'. To what, nobody knows.

As far as Justified goes. Just gotta say I loved it. Yes there are some characters that are pretty stereotypical. But its also the only show that I've seen that portrays some Kentucky "hillbillies" as smart as can be. Clever, funny, resourceful people from Kentucky with limited means but not limited minds. However there are a bunch of dummie too. Some of the dummies are Yankees also. Posted by: simplemind at October 08, 2015 03:58 PM (xVRrG) 346

Speaking of interesting interviews, Beck had a relative of Oskar Schindler on. She made the point that while Schindler is credited with saving Jews, in the end, it was the Jews that saved Schindler. He was not popular in Germany after the war. Some didn't like him because he was a Nazi and some didn't like him because he wasn't enough of a Nazi but Israel always held him in high regard. She made the point that the world betrays Israel at its own peril.

Don't know if the US astronauts went to the moon or not. Do know that Jack Anderson, you can google him, showed that the pictures and vidios were faked in a program on TV. Also know that you can find no record of that TV program which I viewed some 30 or so years ago. So either we live in a mutiverse and I've changed timelines or it would be inconvenient for that program to be aired again.
