Ricin

Will Ricin be the first false flag operation aimed at "domestic: or "home grown" terrorism? We'll see.

My wicked pissa easy creamy potato soup recipe

2 medium potatoes washed not peeled diced
2 carrots peeled diced
2 medium onions diced
2 tablespoons healthy oil (olive, canola...)
Seasoning. I use a dash of Cavenders Greek Seasoning.
Can of stock. I use chicken but any kind will work well.

Nothing is exact. You can fuck around with ingredients and amounts and still come out with something really good so don't sweat it. It's only fucking soup.

Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
Throw all the vegetables in the pan and stir fry until the onions are transparent and the potatoes are soft. A little brown is fine. Maybe even good. What do I know?
Pour in can of stock and bring to simmer for about 5 minutes.
While its still hot pour it all into a blender. (It may be dangerous to pour hot shit into a blender. I have no idea. Don't fucking blame me if you fuck up your blender or burn yourself. Use your judgment.)
Blast that fucker until it's liquefied and creamy.
Pour it back into the sauce pan with very low heat and season it to taste. It will come back to a simmer very quickly. It doesn't need much seasoning so don't over do it you hard on.
Garnish it with grated cheddar and maybe a few croƻtons.
Pour out a glass of something malty. A nice Scotch ale or double bock is nice.
Have some fucking soup.
You'll be surprised how good it is.
I don't know people feel you need to use cream or milk to make creamy soup. You don't. You'll see.

SWAT team was training at time of shootings

I wasn't aware of this. Interesting.

SWAT team was training at time of shootings - Cleveland Metro News – The Latest Breaking News, Photos and Stories from The Plain Dealer
SWAT team was training at time of shootings

Categories: Impact, School shooting

Cleveland police's SWAT Team was training patrol officers to respond to school shootings when they got word that a student was on a rampage at SuccessTech High School.
• Review complete Plain Dealer coverage of the shooting.By the time they reached the school, the shooter was already down and patrol officers from the 3rd District already had secured the building. And that is exactly how it is supposed to happen under the department's training, said Lt. Bernard Barabas, the long-time SWAT leader.

The training, Barabas said, is specifically designed for school shootings and even begins with lessons learned from the 1999 Columbine High School shooting.

The department, however, has not addressed Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Stephen Loomis' complaint that the SWAT Team was not called to the scene until nearly an hour after the first 9-1-1 call. Loomis said this decision put officers in danger. He points back to last year when Detective A.J. Schroeder was shot and killed while serving a warrant. Loomis argues that if SWAT officers had been there with their heavy body armor and shields, Schroeder would still be alive.

Barabas said most of those 3rd District officers had already been through the training and used it as they searched for the Success Tech shooter -- a search that ended with them finding the body of 14-year-old Asa Coon, who had committed suicide after shooting two teachers and two students.

Cleveland police, like those from other departments around the country, have changed the way they respond to active shooters since Columbine, said Sgt. Dan Galmarini, a SWAT leader and former police spokesman.

The old training was to form a perimeter before going in. However, law enforcement has concluded that any delay in the response gives mass-murderers time to take more lives. Now, the first officers on the scene are directed to go after the shooter immediately.

The training the SWAT Team is giving the department's officers teaches them how to use safe tactics when engaging such a threat. When the team arrived at SuccessTech Thursday, the shooter was dead, but police were not sure that there was not another shooter inside.

SWAT Team member Jose Delgado was part of the heavily armored crew that went room to room in the school. Well over an hour after the shooter was dead, they were still finding students and teachers hiding in locked rooms.

When they opened one room, the teachers were in front of the door with their bodies between their students and any shooters that may have tried to threaten the kids' lives.

"I told them that they did an excellent job," Delgado said.

Governments Should Show Us the Spending
Posted by J.H. Huebert at February 22, 2008 06:38 AM

Carla Howell and Michael Cloud -- the two great Massachusetts anti-tax activists -- recently had another great idea: make their state government reveal every last cent it spends, and whom the money goes to, in an easily accessed, easily understood online database. That way citizens can identify waste (and it's all waste) and find new ways for their government to cut spending.

In today's Columbus Dispatch, I recommend the same for Ohio.

You might want to let your state government -- and the people who pay taxes to support it -- know of this idea as well.

Shlomo Benizri is NUTS.


AdelaideNow... Earthquakes are caused by gays, says MP
Shlomo Benizri of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party said the only way to prevent the earthquakes was for parliament to stop liberalising laws concerning homosexuals, AP reported.

“Why do earthquakes happen? One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset (parliament) gives legitimacy, to sodomy,'' Mr Benizri said.

Mr Benizri said earthquake damage could be avoided if the parliament stopped “passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes''.

Two earthquakes originating in Lebanon have shaken Israel in the past week. The first occurred two days after the Israeli attorney-general ruled that same-sex couples could adopt children.

In recent years, Israeli courts have ruled that the government must recognise sex-sex marriages performed abroad and grant gay couples inheritance rights.

I like it. It's got message. It's the bullshit gangsta horseshit I can't stand. Oh yeah. He's right.

Finger lickin' wife kickin'!

More happy stuff here.
A Lynn man was ordered held without bail Thursday during an arraignment for an attack on his wife after she allegedly told him not to have sex with a 15-year-old girl.

I don't know. Telling your spouse not to have sex with a 15 year old seems to be a perfectly reasonable request to me.
Perez’s wife told police Perez tried several times to have sex with her 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship and when she confronted him about the inappropriate behavior on Sunday, Perez attacked her, DiCorsi said.

What? He just wanted to screw her 15 year old daughter! What's the big deal? Prudes. (Why would you have a guy that wants to screw your daughter around in the first place?)
Perez allegedly pinned his wife against a living room wall, then threw her onto a couch and punched her in the stomach. She is three months pregnant.

Geez is that all? Doesn't seem like a bad guy to me...
As the wife tried to get away, Perez allegedly punched her two more times in the face and three more times in the neck and back, the prosecutor said.
The wife ran into the kitchen where Perez allegedly grabbed her again and pinned her against a door while holding a knife against her. The woman’s 14-year-old son then walked into the room. Perez then cut his own arm and threw the knife at the victim before leaving the home, DiCorsi said.Earlier in the alleged attack, Perez allegedly grabbed his wife’s cell phone and threw it after she said she was calling police. He also allegedly threatened to kill the woman’s family in El Salvador if he got deported to his native country for the attack, police said.

Sounds like a wonderful addition to society. We need more upstanding citizens like him.
Prosecutors say the confrontation began because the wife was concerned that Perez was making sexual advances toward her daughter, which included buying her a cell phone and offering her $100 cash for sex.

100 bucks sounds reasonable, no? No wonder he was mad.

Update. I've stumbled on the surveillance footage.

Lynn sex offender


The Lynn Item brings us this uplifting story this morning.
A Level 3 sex offender was ordered held without bail Thursday for attempted murder and other charges after he allegedly strangled his ex-girlfriend at her Kingsley Terrace home, causing her to pass out.

Nice Guy.
Melvin Santiago, 34, whose last known address was the homeless shelter at 100 Willow St., Lynn, was arrested Wednesday on warrants charging him with attempted murder, domestic assault and battery, criminal harassment and seven counts of violating a restraining order.

This guy was ALREADY a registered sex offender.
Santiago’s 43-year-old ex-girlfriend, who has taken out multiple restraining orders against him, walked into the Lynn police station on Feb. 12 with black and blue marks all over her face and a domestic violence advocate by her side, police said.

Ah yes. restraining orders. They work well don't they? When will people realize that criminals don't obey laws? A restraining order is about as effective as declaring an imaginary force field around your house.
Police say Santiago allegedly violated the restraining order by showing up two weeks ago at the victim’s house, but the victim allowed him to stay there.

That was dumb.
At some point during the stay, Santiago allegedly became violent and choked the victim causing her to pass out and urinate on herself.
*
The next morning, the victim told Santiago she was going to the store, but that angered him and led him to kneel on top of her, police said. She begged him not to choke her again and he eventually got up, but only after she agreed that he could accompany her to the store, according to police.

GPS



Man Fired After GPS Showed He Was Not at Work - Switched: Gadgets, Tech, Digital Stuff for the Rest of Us
There's no point in lying anymore. With new technology, someone will always catch you whether it's on camera, through spyware, or GPS. Take the following anecdote as a lesson: It seems John Halpin, a supervising carpenter for the New York City school system, was let go after he was caught skipping out early and falsifying his time sheets.

Turns out the Board of Education was tracking his movements with a GPS receiver built into his employer-provided cell phone. Over five months, administrators noticed multiple discrepancies between where John should have been, and where the GPS data showed he actually was. In response to the data, an administrative judge suggested the 21 year veteran Halpin get the axe.

Halpin tried to fight the termination, saying he was never informed the phone could be used to track his movements, and questioned the accuracy of the data. Unfortunately for Halpin, this did not convince administrative Judge Tynia Richard, who found him guilty of submitting false time records.

Hops


Omaha.com Business Section
LINCOLN — Troubled times are brewing for beer fans. Prices are going up, and flavors are changing.


Hops, like the Liberty pellet hops shown above, are a minor but necessary ingredient in beer. Hops add aroma, help preserve the drink and add bitterness to offset the flavor of malt.
The price of India Pale Ale, the most popular beer from Thunderhead Brewery in Kearney, Neb., has jumped from $3.50 a pint to $6.

Third Stone Brown, the No. 1 brew of Empyrean Brewing in Lincoln, will increase in price from between $3.50 and $3.80 a pint, depending on the restaurant, to from $4 to $4.50.

Bayer is killing people wholesale.

22,000 died amid delayed Bayer drug recall: doctor
The lives of 22,000 patients could have been saved if U.S. regulators had been quicker to remove a Bayer AG drug used to stem bleeding during open heart surgery, according to a medical researcher interviewed by CBS Television's 60 Minutes program.

The drug Trasylol was withdrawn in November at the request of the FDA after an observational study linked the medicine to kidney failure requiring dialysis and increased death of those patients.

It had been given to as many as a third of all heart bypass patients in the United States at the height of its use over a period of many years, according to the report.

Doctors group backs marijuana for medical uses

A leading U.S. doctors group has endorsed using marijuana for medical purposes, urging the government to roll back a prohibition on using it to treat patients and supporting studies into its medical applications.

The American College of Physicians, the second-largest doctors group in the United States, issued a policy statement on medical marijuana this week after it was approved by its governing body, the group said on Friday.

The group cited evidence that marijuana is valuable in treating severe weight loss associated with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in cancer patients.

Teetotaling do-gooders attack your right to drink

The breath test revealed that Bolton's blood alcohol content (BAC) was 0.03 percent, a level a 120-pound woman could expect after drinking one glass of wine. It was well below the 0.08 percent limit that marks a driver as legally intoxicated in D.C. It was not low enough for the arresting officer, however. This middle-aged mother of two, who hadn't drunk to excess, who hadn't run a red light or run a stop, was arrested, handcuffed, and fingerprinted for an innocent mistake. She sat in a jail cell for hours and was finally released at 4:30 a.m. Bolton spent four court appearances and over $2,000 fighting a $400 ticket. She then spent a month fighting to get her license back after refusing to submit to the 12-week alcohol counseling program.
The arresting officer, inaptly named Dennis Fair, insists: "If you get behind the wheel of a car with any measurable amount of alcohol, you will be dealt with in D.C. We have zero tolerance....Anything above 0.01, we can arrest." Fair recognized that nearly everyone in D.C. was unaware of this zero tolerance policy. Still, he told The Washington Post, if "you don't know about it, then you're a victim of your own ignorance."

Fucking pigs sure are forgetful about who they work for.

Republican Delegate Resigns After Investigation


Sick fuck.
Reporting
Kathryn Brown
ANNAPOLIS, Md, (WJZ) ― There's scandal at the statehouse.

A state delegate, known as an advocate for children's rights, is the focus of a child pornography investigation after officers searched his Hagerstown home.

Kathryn Brown reports, Robert McKee is not facing any charges right now, but he has resigned his position as both a state delegate and as executive director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of Washington County.

The fucking predators love to blatantly put themselves as close to our children as possible.
According to his online bio, he is very active in little league, junior basketball and is executive director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of Washington County.

He has an adopted granddaughter through his work in the program.

In a statement, McKee calls the investigation "deeply embarrassing" adding he has entered treatment.

"My primary focus" he said, "is to get well and stay well."

Oh fuck you. Get well and stay well my fucking ass. You get fucking turned on by children! If you are serious about getting fucking well have a Rottweiler chew your fucking balls off and if that doesn't work jump of a fucking bridge. Fuck you.

Both the Indians and the oil workers would be at grave risk from such an encounter; the Indians from catching potentially fatal diseases such as influenza, and the workers from the very real danger of retaliation by the Indians, who would see their presence as a threat.

NewsFactor Network | Mock Disaster Drill: Trains, Planes, Bloggers
Imagined villains include hackers, bloggers, even reporters. After mock electronic attacks overwhelmed computers at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, an unspecified "major news network" airing reports about the attackers refused to reveal its sources to the government. Other simulated reporters were duped into spreading "believable but misleading" information that worsened fallout by confusing the public and financial markets, according to the government's files.


It's only a matter of time before legislation is pushed through allowing jack boot thugs to kick in the doors of dissenting Bloggers.
