AP Pushes New Leftwing Conspiracy Theory: "Puzzling" Number of Activists Connected to Ferguson are Dying (Usually by Suicide or Drug Overdose), And That Suggests They're Being Secretly Murdered by an Unidentified But Obviously White Cabal
The left pushes no conspiracy theories, according to the left and their kissing, under-the-shirt-but-over-the-bra cousins the NeverTrumpers.
Before getting into this article, let me just postulate that perhaps the "activists" tend to be people living on the fringes of society, able to get time off their "jobs" to go to a city to "protest" at a moment's notice, and therefore might be poor and have the generally poor health of the poor -- including mental health. Marginal employment and chronic unemployment correlate with bad health outcomes and increased mortality. And they might maybe indulge in the drugs a bit. Let me also suggest that people willing to throw molotov cocktails at police also generally live lives which occasionally intersect with violence and may die early for reasons having less to do with conspiracy than with statistical inevitability. That said, let's see what your leftwing media is cooking up to replace their Russiagate conspiracy theory.Two young men were found dead inside torched cars. Three others died of apparent suicides. Another collapsed on a bus, his death ruled an overdose. Six deaths, all involving men with connections to protests in Ferguson, Missouri, drew attention on social media and speculation in the activist community that something sinister was at play. ...You know who might have really been on the needle? That guy who collapsed on a bus due to a drug overdose.
[S]ome activists say their concerns about a possible connection arise out of a culture of fear that persists in Ferguson 4 1/2 years after Brown's death, citing threats -- mostly anonymous -- that protest leaders continue to receive.
"Everybody is on pins and needles," Gray said of his fellow activists.
... Four others also died, three of them ruled suicides. -- MarShawn McCarrel of Columbus, Ohio, shot himself in February 2016 outside the front door of the Ohio Statehouse, police said. He had been active in Ferguson.He shot himself outside the front door of the Ohio Statehouse? I'm guessing that there was no Secret Second Shooter here. Seems to me like there'd be witnesses and surveillance footage of a Second Shooter.
-- Edward Crawford Jr., 27, fatally shot himself in May 2017 after telling acquaintances he had been distraught over personal issues, police said.He told his friends he was distraught, then he killed himself. I guess he was in on the conspiracy himself, as he provided the conspirators with the Perfect Cover Story.
... -- In October, 24-year-old Danye Jones was found hanging from a tree in the yard of his north St. Louis County home. His mother, Melissa McKinnies, was active in Ferguson and posted on Facebook after her son's death, "They lynched my baby." But the death was ruled a suicide.So a woman that jumps on a propaganda conspiracy effort in Michael Brown's case immediately starts a new propaganda conspiracy effort about her son -- who, by the way, did not himself have anything to do with Ferguson protests.
Oh, okay -- not the needle then. An all-too-common drug casualty of the pill form of heroin. So what we have is the same group that straight-up invented one fake execution of a black man now inventing further executions of protesters. Say, AP, if we're going to give credence to this obvious crankery -- how about we look into the Clinton Murder List, too? I mean, people are asking questions about that, too. Coming Soon: "Activists" argue that the very fact that activists are spreading propagandistic conspiracy theories about activists being murdered is strong evidence that there is a White Cabal doing something to raise suspicions. Isn't that how it goes with the #HoaxHateCrimes? The very fact someone "felt compelled" to fake a hate crime just proves how genuine the hate crime epidemic is. Think About It: FACT: There are no suspicious deaths in Wisconsin. FACT: Hillary Clinton never visited Wisconsin. CONCLUSION: ???
-- Bassem Masri, a 31-year-old Palestinian American who frequently livestreamed video of Ferguson demonstrations, was found unresponsive on a bus in November and couldn't be revived. Toxicology results released in February showed he died of an overdose of fentanyl.

Brie of Noassistan is wooden and generally pretty unlikable, but it's hard to know if that's because she's a biatch or that's just how her part is written (could be a chance to embrace the power of AND). I didn't get an overt GRRL POWER!!!! vibe, her backstory is basically written as pre-"treatment" Steve Rogers with (small) tits.
Most of the characters are actually pretty meh. The story is just as meh, actually.
Not surprised that it's doing fine at the gate - there's nothing to compete with and it's not Soylo-level bad.
Posted by: DocJ at March 18, 2019 03:48 PM (NYS7S)
even assuming they were murdered, that's two murders out of a pool of people that can be defined as tens of thousands (as the AP and "activists" define "involved in Ferguson" as "related to someone involved in ferguson")
that's not a "puzzling" rate of murder.

============
None of it would matter if she was more than someone who got lucky with a strong editor in the beginning.
Now, she's unfettered by anyone who would remotely say no to her, so when she decides to create a new series of tales in the same universe (great idea!), she overstuffs the opening with so many characters, different motivations, and depressing tones that none of it works.
I'd be willing to bet that if her original editor were at her side while she was writing the first Fantastic Beasts screenplay, we would have gotten a much more cohesive story with much lighter notes.

BLM and the other protesters are all backed by Leftist groups... very scary Leftist groups who actively encourage the protesters to commit street violence.
I think they're probably just OD'ing and cacking themselves, but if anybody has a motive to kill them, it's groups like the sinister, Orwellian-named "Friends of Democracy," who organized the spasm of violence in Baltimore, including paying protesters to break things and attack people.
That group's leaked documents even included details on coordinating street actions with the local cops.
These are serious crimes, that someone could want covered up.
If murder is happening here, that would be my first line of investigation.

Now, she's unfettered by anyone who would remotely say no to her, so when she decides to create a new series of tales in the same universe (great idea!), she overstuffs the opening with so many characters, different motivations, and depressing tones that none of it works.

The hardest thing I've learned as a writer is how to critically read my own writing.
Link in nic has some thoughts on that, coincidentally enough.
It actually makes me feel really good when I read something I've written and I have a negative reaction to it. It keeps hope alive that I'm not blinded by my own process and thinking when regarding my own writing.
I maintain that that's a key to becoming a quality writer. If you can't toss out entire shit chapters, then you have no business writing at all.

On some internet video, the cousins are bopping other cousins, mothers are banging sons, dads drilling daughters. It is really common. According to these videos, there are many families that do this. In many families on these videos, it apparently happens almost every day!

1930s/40s magic? In a different country from the original? Using mostly new characters?
Sure, great concept but she's rushing things. It took her a long time to write the original books and she had tons of stuff worked out. This she's dumping out once a year, and it shows. Some writers can get away with that, hell L'Amour used to write several books a year along with multiple short stories. She's not one of them.
And its not like she needs the work, she's richer than the queen. I think she's starved for adulation and attention, so she's trying to milk that cow for a few more drops.

She's bad. Watch Kong: Skull Island (No, seriously, it's a fun movie.) All this outrageous stuff is happening, like a 50 foot ape killing half her traveling partners, spiders with legs that are 20 feet long, giant dinosaur-like creatures chasing and killing people, and they find a tribe of primitive people and a lost pilot from WW2 (The movie takes place in 1973). And through it all, no expression at all from Brie. I don't care how jaded a journalist she was supposed to be, at some point you have to give a look like, "Holy shit! That's a 50 foot ape and it just swatted down 3 military helicopters! You don't see that every day!" But not Brie.

I've yet to see the second one yet, but the first one had two completely separate stories, and neither worked very well. If she had focused on Newt and provided hints at the larger story along the way, I think it would have worked better.

Oh, god, like in all of them after some point. Just pretend Heinlein died in like, 1960, maybe and do yourself a favor.
If you want a concentrated bit of oddness, read "All you Zombies" - a time travel story about a dude who was his own mother AND father. While a previous story on time paradoxes "By His Bootstraps" is a lot of fun.
I was always more of a Clarke/Asimov fan, but RAH's stuff in the later days was just bad. At least Clarke kept all that stuff in the house in Ceylon on the downlow.

I've yet to see the second one yet, but the first one had two completely separate stories, and neither worked very well. If she had focused on Newt and provided hints at the larger story along the way, I think it would have worked better.

That's actually pretty common even with better authors - too many plotlines, too many characters, and no editor to say, can't we cut some of this crap out.
The last Wheel of Time I read was like 800 pages about three days or so where Rand al'Thor had lunch out a couple of times. In older days that crap had to be cut down to fit in a magazine and make money for the rent. Nobody had time for the bloat.

The reason I asked is because I am reading a declaration from the those folks in a packet handed out at a meeting. It said-in part-for those that are LGBTQIA that support us-on gay marriage in the church "we have your backs!" For those that think gays not being able to marry in the church is warranted to marry in the church "We are praying for you". It was highlighted. That's great!/sarc. In the context "We've got your back" it sounds rather adversarial and maybe it's me-but "We're payingfor you" and I'm not too sanguine about people who don't agree with me and are very angry about it telling me they'll pray for me. Sounds to me not like "I'm praying that esus will transform you into his image" but "I'm praying you WILL come to the same conclusion I do."

Mashable did a good takedown of the first season's overall story structure. the need for action and OMG PlotTwist!! crippled the thing.

In Shogunate Japan they banned Christianity. While they ended up killing large numbers of Christians, many renounced their faith instead.
The Japanese would make sure the apostates had really given up their faith by routinely making them spit on a cross or step on a picture of Jesus (called a Fumi-e).
This gay stuff in churches is the same damn thing - it is forcing the people in those churches to confirm, on a regular basis, that they aren't real Christians any more.
You can be gay and be a Christian, as we all sin after all, but a church that celebrates sin can't be an actual Christian church.

One of the worst things that can happen to an author is too much success too fast. I don't say that as sour grapes, its just true. If you get too successful too fast, you think you know everything and won't listen to or permit editors, and publishers will let you get away with it as long as the money keeps rolling in. Wheel of Time is kind of infamous for this.
Look at any successful book series, 4 out of 5 have each book bigger and longer than the last. Harry Potter, Sword of Truth, Wheel of Time, on and on. They write a decent, tight first book, then they get bigger and more bloated each time until you're putting out doorstops that people skim a lot of just because they want to finish the series.

Jesus praised three groups of people, one group who had sex, a married couple (anthropon and gyn) who stayed married and two others for not: "Eunuchs for God" and people who once divorced refrained from "adultery" the rest of their lives.
That doesn't sound like the "God made me attracted to whom I'm attracted" sexual-preference crowd in that. So, I'm okay with them "praying for me".

Like in Kurt Schlichter's books, where the People's Republic has to keep changing their flag by adding various colored stripes for various grievance groups, and then everyone argues over whose stripe gets to be on top, so that has to keep changing too.

There was a woman in the choir, old hippy type, who, during the Nicene Creed, would yell out "And became ONE OF US!" at the top of her lungs as literally everyone else said, "And became man".
It was obvious that he was a thorn in the priest's side.

OT: so in the interests of family harmony, I went to see Cap'n MarySue
yesterday (Mrs. DocJ really wanted to see it). It's not awful. Also
can't say it's great or even good. It was entertaining, which is pretty
much all I look for in a movie these days.
Brie of Noassistan is wooden and generally pretty unlikable, but
it's hard to know if that's because she's a biatch or that's just how
her part is written (could be a chance to embrace the power of AND). I
didn't get an overt GRRL POWER!!!! vibe, her backstory is basically
written as pre-"treatment" Steve Rogers with (small) tits.
Most of the characters are actually pretty meh. The story is just as meh, actually.
Not surprised that it's doing fine at the gate - there's nothing to compete with and it's not Soylo-level bad.

Saw it yesterday as well. Mrs.Bewalski and Moronette Bewalski both wanted to see it so I tagged along out of curiosity to see first hand how bad it was. I couldn't help, I laughed uproariously whenever there was a *null* ass shot of RestingButchFace McFlatAss. Wife kept glaring at me throughout and finally asked me why midway through, so I had to fill her in...then she started in with the laughing. Our 15yo daughter had to re-locate since we were embarrassing her.

If someone is truly gay, I don't consider it a sin, but an affliction. A screw up of nature. Its the behavior that is a sin. The churches that celebrate the engaging in homosexual behavior are who are also committing a sin.

I can see that sort of. The original Mar-Vell was a "merciless Kree" (the stereotype of Kree) who basically learned there was another way to live than to be merciless.
Hence it's part of the *character* of the original Mar-Vell to be rather wooden and undisturbed, until he decides to oppose the Kree invasion plans. The Kree are the "master race of the Universe".

There is some indication in the story that she's been manipulated by the Kree to be kind of emotionless, and that's part of a large story (as in maybe next film she'll be a bit more expressive after breaking that conditioning) but that's just guesswork. If so, it was pretty poorly handled because it makes her kind of unlikable.

Starship Troopers
Friday
No.
Posted by: imaginary peeing hookers
"Starship Troopers" was written in 1959. Heinlein heard about Eisenhower discussing a nuclear test ban treaty with the USSR, and got so spitting mad he quit working on "Stranger in a Strange Land" and knocked out "Starship Troopers" in six weeks.
See, even then, Heinlein thought Eisenhower was a milk-toast GOPe. It never ends, does it?
Heinlein wrote all the famous juveniles in the 1950's and got tired of writing the same thing over and over again, and was mad at the Scribner's censor, so he plotted out "Stranger in a Strange Land" and when he was free of Scribner's and had fulfilled his contractural requirements for the "juveniles", he got "Stranger" published.
Yeah, it shocked a lot of people. I had a friend in the 60's say that Heinlein got a BJ and then wrote "Stranger".
Actually, Heinlein and his second wife (in the 1940's) were "swingers" and had an open marriage. He actually came to hate it, and then met Virginia (the love of his life) and was faithful to her the rest of his life.
Sidenote: Heinlein and Clarke worked in the same building in the 1940's (war years) doing something sneaky and nefarious for the government. And that's where he met Virginia (the red head).

Its important to remember that while every book of the Bible is God-breathed and inspired, each one was written by individuals (sometimes more than one) and carries their stamp of style and approach. Also, each book has its own particular purpose, and as you read the Bible you see a concept theologians call "progressive revelation" in which God teaches a little bit more about him self as time goes on, instead of dumping it all on people at once.
So Job, a very, very early book written by a certain person comes across as kind of harsh, but for a purpose: its teaching God's absolute sovereignty and the total right to do what He sees fit at any time. Its a hard book to read when things are going very badly, but its a good one to read when things are going well.

The main part of the Book of Job illustrates Job's righteousness. And it's not at all like the "righteousness" of the three elders, or for that matter, Elihu, who was neither condemned nor commended by The Lord.

As Steve Sailer pointed out, Heinlein wrote three hit books for three different demographics.
- Stranger in a Strange Land - hippies
- The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - libertarians
- Starship Troopers - Conservatives
After those, he pretty much fell apart on writing stories.

This comes up repeatedly - the theology of Job doesn't fit in very well with the rest of the Jewish Bible (or Christian additions) and most biblical scholars believe Job may be significantly older than any other book in the Bible, probably dating to even before Abraham and coming from one of the Fertile Crescent civilizations. (Sumer?) However, it's also felt that the books message about how to grapple with the universality of suffering was so important, and so unparalleled, that every generation chose to keep it around, in spite of the parts that don't quite fit.
evidence from the book itself - Job lives in a time when there is no such thing as "money", and his society counts wealth is in terms of offspring and cattle. Also, no mention of any governmental structures at all. Matches up with a very early level of civilization, and to me, it's quite fascinating to think that this particular book may have been around for 4,000 years or so.

Yes, Job is the oldest book. And was written at a time when nobody talked about "heaven" (as far as we know) or "eternity" that's why from time to time you seen Jewish scripture about "envying the dead", who strive no more.
But, Job, in his hardship *know* that his Redeemer lives, and his nearness to God anticipates the entire doctrine of the Resurrection.

They searched every map that showed everything 500 miles from Los Angeles, Washington and New York and came up empty. They were forbidden from searching around Chicago because He Who Must Not Be Named did his community organizing there.

At its very root, the Democrat Party is a core of nasty opportunists, who want political power by about any means necessary. They pandered to BLM to nail down the Black vote. They do it all the time. It would be really comical if it didn't, at times, seem so sinister.
I doubt most of the inner core of the Party leadership believe anything about what they say in public.
The Republicans are just disorganized goofs. Mainly people who are stupid enough to still believe that the government should be like some high school Civics lesson.
My dear late Mother used to say, if you want a war, elect a Democrat; if you want a recession, elect a Republican.

Now, she's unfettered by anyone who would remotely say no to her, so when she decides to create a new series of tales in the same universe (great idea!), she overstuffs the opening with so many characters, different motivations, and depressing tones that none of it works.

Not that I buy into all these #BLM deaths been super-secret murders, but . . I would not be surprised if someone wanting to leak that kind of info, about how well-organized, funded and connected these so-called "grassroots" protests, could be roughed up or threatened.

It's one of those "it takes two to tango" situations. TB-ridden illegals aren't much threat to vaccinated people, but the unvaccinated children of the anti-vax crazies are prime targets. Sort of a self-limiting problem.
