The Morning Rant

THE GORILLAPUNDIT 1O-POINT PROGRAM TO GET AMERICA TO CALM THE #@$! DOWN

1. There will be a moratorium on all social media for 10 years with an option to extend. Whatever its intended purpose was, it has turned into a Shit Amplifier. Nobody needs to see your cat videos and for those who want to keep others informed of family matters, the United States Postal Service is available.

(Note: I don't think the sewage that social media seems to have turned into is anything new. That is, if we could listen in on telephone conversations from the Ma Bell era, we would no doubt hear all sorts of disgusting and vile sentiments expressed by many people. But unlike the social media of today, they weren't broadcast far and wide so that everybody could hear them. We just need to keep the raw sewage in check by limiting its scope)

2. Using the 'Reply All' in e-mail communication button is forbidden. Any who gets caught doing it twice will be taken out and shot.

3. The following topics will be discouraged in polite conversation: politics, religion, and sexual matters.

4. All 24/7 news channels will be turned into something useful. like a 24/7 cooking channel or a 24/7 how-to-sort-your-sock-drawer channel, or shut down entirely. Because it takes awhile to get things sorted out and the correct information established, pretty much everything they say right off the bat is going to be crap. It used to be that you didn't hear about something for weeks, or even months, and we all somehow managed to survive.

5. News shall come in the form of newspapers only, preferably published monthly, or, at the most, weekly.

6. All television broadcasting will cease every day at midnight and not resume until 6am the following morning. All broadcasting entities shall end their day with the playing of the national anthem or other patriotic songs followed by a test pattern. Because nothing good comes after midnight and everyone needs to just shut up for awhile.

7. In the summertime, all television broadcasting will cease *entirely* so as to give American youth an opportunity to get some fresh air and exercise.

8. The media shall be referred to as "infernal scribblers" and pelted with rotten vegetables when deemed necessary. For the public good.

9. In public schools, American history will be taught from a patriotic perspective. Not that this country's flaws and mistakes shouldn't be taught, but the underlying foundation must be that these are things that the United States of America must be improved rather than evidence that she is deplorable and irredeemable as presently constituted. Those who just can't accept this will be subject to the provisions of #10.

10. Anyone expressing a deep and profound dissatisfaction with this country, whether it's by flag burning, taking up arms against lawful authority, being a communist, advocating armed revolution, claiming the necessity of "fundamentally transforming" American civic institutions, shouting demands to "burn it all down" and the like, will be subject to exile to a country of his or her choice. The opportunity for any American citizen to go live in a better country shall not be abridged. If a country is not found that will accept the malcontent, he or she will be taken to the 'Home of the Malcontents', which will be a "supermax" facility constructed in northern Alaska specifically for this purpose, for a period of not less than 10 years. Repeat offenders will be given a free helicopter ride out of the country.

17 Antifa claims we should be terrified of the cops, because they are out of control murderers.

However, if you look at livestreams from Portland, Antifa heaps just unbelievable amounts of foul verbal abuse on the cops.

If Antifa were truly scared of the cops, they'd be very quiet when confronted by the cops.

33 About a month ago I posted here about some friends and I running into and befriending a young filmaker and his crew shooting a western in Wyoming (I live in CO, and we were visiting.)

He sent me a link to his current film, called FORGERY, which is playing at a local film festival (held at a drive-in this year due to the present situation.)

If you're looking for something to watch - and it seems we all are these days, do check it out. For an independent film, shot in 10 days on a budget of zero, it's very, very good. The script, cinematography and sound are all top-notch. The acting is somewhat dodgy as you might suspect when you don't have access to professional actors. Some great performances, some...not so much.

It's the story of a painfully shy and nerdy university student with a secret gift for forgery. Once his secret gets out to the wrong people, he finds himself led on a downward spiral of criminality. It's dark. Breaking Bad-Quentin Tarantino are definite touchstones. I think this kid has serious talent.

Rated R for language and violence.

This is far from the first time this has been done; in fact, this is how most civil wars are ended.

in 1640, there were over 50 political broadsheets representing all factions being printed in London. by 1653, after Cromwell had cemented control, there were only 4, and *all* were monitored and regulated by the Government for content.

Yesterday we spoke of the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, which is that Franco banned ALL political discussion of any kind for at least 30 years. There were no newspapers, save for those run and approved of by the government, and there was no need for any, since there were no elections. Anyone who attempted to talk openly about politics or worse, who wished to criticize anything done by the Government was subject to immediate arrest. Trial was optional.

Posted by: Lizzy at August 31, 2020 11:19 AM

Unfortunately, that is not looking at the cause. Social media is not evil. People are evil.

It's easy to blame an inanimate object for problems. The Left does it all the time with guns.

The same holds true for social media. Twitter and Facebook are amazing tools. Really amazing.

I have used Facebook to stay connected with family all over the globe, stay in touch with friends from old jobs, from high school and college, etc. And I have also used it to connect with so many like-minded people politically. And I use it to share articles and information on politics with family and friends.

I use Twitter as an easy way to keep up with news and current events. Just an amazing tool to easily find out news within minutes from all over the world. Create lists for news, for specific news -- rioting, COVID, etc. -- or for sports or animals or health stuff or exercise, etc.

Just amazing way to organize and have things right at your finger tips.

But, yes, in the wrong hands, social media is evil and dangerous. Not because of social media, but because people are evil.

Blogs are a part of social media. This blog is. Ace is using social media for good, jackasses like those at Hot Air and left-wing blogs are using it for evil.

Just think of the "MoMees" that everyone talks about. That is using social media for good. Connecting people of similar interests and beliefs.

Meanwhile, you have evil people like those in antifa and BLM who use blogs and social media for evil gatherings.

social media is designed to be an addictive behavior and wire your brain for dopamine hits.

This is true according to one of the psychologists who was on the ground floor of building these despicable things. There's more than one EweToob video about that.

It's also been proven they spread negative emotions just like a virus.

If socialist media weren't digital, would it be outlawed as an addictive substance?

I agree completely, this place is a running conversation between people who are ostensibly familiar with each other and have, most of the time, a fairly similar viewpoint.

Twitter is performance art/standup comedy/political ranting. If you don't get a bunch of people that you don't know to jump and hoot then you've failed. There's nothing conversational about it, it's all about getting attention. (and feeling the rush that some get from that attention)

Before we hear about Biden's courageous and calming statement, let's just remember that the world was set on fire by Trump's failure to explicitly condemn the alt-right. Biden doesn;t get to escape that same fire just because he's going light on BLM and Antifa.

This is just another version of the Fine People hoax in that it leaves out that Trump specifically condemned extremists on the right when he clarified who wasn't 'fine people':

"I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally -- but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?"

in part due to having to level entire structures and most policies limit
demolition reimbursement to $25,000.

Gonna disagree just a bit with this point. Social media steers people. Look at something by a left-leaning group...you get steered to more left-leaning groups and then leftist groups.

People here talk about friends who simultaneously believe that the riots are fomented by Trump and the people sticking it to Trump. They believe this because that's all they see.

Before we hear about Biden's courageous and calming statement, let's just remember that the world was set on fire by Trump's failure to explicitly condemn the alt-right. Biden doesn;t get to escape that same fire just because he's going light on BLM and Antifa.

This is just another version of the Fine People hoax in that it leaves out that Trump specifically condemned extremists on the right when he clarified who wasn't 'fine people':

247 Barnes at Viva Frei made a number of points that are outstanding. I will repeat them here with only a little commentary.

1) Tracking hate crimes in the south from 1860-1960. The amount of racism does not track against the number of crimes. What makes an event more likely is that a sociopath is given political cover to, in the mind of the criminal, make a mafia-type move to chip away at a growing, out of control problem.
He tracked this idea against terrorism in the 2000 decade and it fit the pattern. And that is why it seems relevant here.
To this end the hot rhetoric of Nancy Pelosi et al are deeply irresponsible. The Frankenstein that was being fuelled for years by Muh Russia ect, will not be stopped quickly. She can go to hell.

2) Two mobs will fight where each has their own Rashomon version of events that contain almost no elements of the other version. He quickly recounted the liberal version of the Wisconsin police event, and it was surprisingly detailed for being shockingly deficient.

What responsibility the media plays for riots and murders is not small. Painting the Kenosha kid as an alt-right murderer, in the presents of a huge amount of video, seems to be psychological or ideological dysfunction to me.

Told the wife that people really thought she said that she could see Russia from her house, told her that was a Saturday night live skit with tina fey.

A lady in the line overheard me and called me a liar. Told her that was all made up and all she had to do was google it and find out the truth.

She said "nope, I know what I know".

I watched the movie. Rosanna Arquette would get turned away at the border of Wakanda for being an illegal immigrant trying to take advantage of the system a hard-working African people created for themselves.

316 You are never going to change her mind. Same thing happened to me at a Kroger's once. Saw a magazine cover in the checkout line that had a Sarah Palin story on it. Told the wife that people really thought she said that she could see Russia from her house, told her that was a Saturday night live skit with tina fey.

A lady in the line overheard me and called me a liar. Told her that was all made up and all she had to do was google it and find out the truth.

She said "nope, I know what I know".

That's typical of hard core leftists.

Video posted recently by the Pentagon showed Russian jet harassing a B52 in the Crimean sea.

I kinda wondered why we were getting that video released to the public. They made it sound like it was extra badwrong for the Rooskie jet to do that.

I dunno, seems like the kind of thing that happens all the time.

Is the Pentagon (or someone in it) trying to get the public all hot and bothered about Russia?

323 I've always wondered how it gets decided what's "trending". Rule of
thumb seems to be whatever liberal/progressive thing they want to
support that day or whatever conservative thing they want to see
trashed.

I'm pretty sure that bots are also used (or at least, used to be) in order to make some anti-American progressive idea appear to be wildly popular when it isn't. David Axelrod became famous for getting one of his clients into orifice using this tactic. He called it "Astroturf."

It had nothing to do with The Jetsons. At. All.

I seem to recall that the photos from the recent twitter hack - where they paid a twitter employee to access the Admin tool - had a button to remove something from trending. They definitely can manipulate trending (and it makes sense that that would be needed in some circumstances).

I don't think today's American youth are watching TV.

They have their own laptops, cell phones and video game systems. On which they have all sorts of social media aps with which to stay in touch.

Turning off television broadcasting will not affect them at all with regards to whether or not they go outside.

347 321> The B-52H that had the close call with a Russian Su-27 fighter was over the Black Sea. Accompanying that bomber were 2 RC-135 "Rivet Joint" signals and electronic intelligence planes. The US has about a dozen of them, so committing 2 to this single flight was interesting.

The Black Sea/Crimea region is one of the most heavily contested areas on the planet. The B-52 in question was undoubtedly used as "bait" to get the Russians to commit air and land assets (planes, surface to air radars/missile sites, etc.) to harassing this one plane.

352 Here's a couple of thought that may cheer some of you up:

1. The longer the Portland killer evades arrest, the more likely it is that he's moving from one friend's house to another, which means the more of his friends can be arrested along with him for helping him evade arrest. I'm guessing that's a felony when the fugitive committed first-degree murder and all the friends know it. (Let's just hope he and his friends are facing federal charges so they aren't all released without bail.)

2. Along the same lines: If I were the feds, I'd be taking my time about arresting him, discreetly trailing him from one criminal friend to another, so as to increase the haul when the hammer comes down.

Note to Portland (pseudo-anti-)fascists doing opposition research here: Maybe he should turn himself in right now, to avoid implicating any more of you. And maybe the people who have been harboring him need to leave the country before they're arrested and head for some other, more politically-compatible country that would welcome them: I recommend Venezuela.
