On FaceBook: More Prejudice Rearing Its Ugly Head About What Happened in Ferguson

By on September 5, 2014 in News & Opinion

There is a photo circulating around FaceBook that purports to be of severely beaten Police Officer Darren Wilson in a hospital when it turn out it is nothing of the kind. Its really a “photo was actually of freestyle motocross rider Jim McNeil who died in 2011 after he suffered a crash during practice.”

See Mediaite.com: Alleged Photo of Injured Darren Wilson Not Actually Darren Wilsonon for the real story.

Officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson MO Police Department

Why aren’t the media releasing the photos of Police Officer Darren Wilson’s injuries after he was assaulted by “the unarmed black teenager”?

He was punched in the face before he emptied his weapon into the drugged “unarmed teenager”—here is what a broken eye socket looks like:

Some Guy with the initials R.L.  According to the politicians and some judges, public service employees are to expect these kind of injuries as part of their jobs and that the person who caused the injuries is to be held harmless.

Some Guy with the initials J.D.D. yet again I guess that means, We as TAXPAYING Citizens, can expect the same injuries, due to Police not being able to protect US or THEMSELVES…..

WHAT THE FU@K is happening to this Country????

Some Guy with the initials R.M. We hear so much about Ferguson in the media. But we never see this picture. I guess “The publics right to know” doesn’t apply to everything.

Some Gal with the initials V.B. Hope he doesn’t lose his eye or eyesight. Sorry, but that kid got what he deserved!!

Some Guy with the initials J.D.D. yet one more time again He disobeyed a Police Officer…..

He assaulted a Police Officer ….

He ran from, and then Charged a Police Officer, with intent to assault him again……

Nobody wants to see anyone die, but when a person charges a Police Officer, while being told to stop…..This Cop wants to go home to his family after his shift…

Thanks to the Media, he may lose his job, career, and more, for merely defending himself….

And, was there ever a Drug/Alcohol Screen released on Michael Brown??????

Yesterday at 10:38am

I am pretty appalled by this little dialog and I am sure it is not the only one like it out there. Unfortunately no one has posted anything about it being a fake and they (about 13 comments) are all enraged at the MSM and the guy that supposedly did that to Officer Wilson.

How to Defeat S.O.P.A. – A Plan of Attack – YouTube

By on January 10, 2012 in News & Opinion


It turns out that there is a short list of powerful tech companies which have unified to support the new internet censorship law S.O.P.A.http://www.waitingforthestorm.com/list-of-companies-which-support-sopa-intern…

f you live near an apple store organize your friends and go pass out flyers stating that Apple supports internet censorship to every client walking in or out of the store. If you don’t live near a store get on the phone and call apple care, and the apple sales line repeatedly and take up as much time with each representative talking to them about your concerns as possible. Next go to the Apple website and fill in as many customer support forms as possible with letters demanding that they take a public stand against SOPA.

Now if we want to have an effect here we need to mobilize as many people as possible, that’s why I’m requesting that everyone share this video with as many people as possible, through as many networks as possible. Take this video and re-upload it to your channel or make your own version calling for your subscribers to participate. Now is the time to act, we have to hit them where it hurts, and hit them hard.

A Grassroots Call for a Presidential Debate on Science and Technology Policy

By on December 13, 2007 in Evolution & Darwinism, Global Climate Disruption, News & Opinion

This past week we saw the birth of a grassroots call for a Presidential Debate on Science and Technology Policy pop up on the web called Science Debate 2008.

Science Debate 2008

The effort began with "the support of almost sixty eminent scientists (including 11 Nobel laureates), business leaders, journalists and editors (including the editors in chief of both Science and Scientific American), politicians (including several members of Congress and two former Science Advisers to the President), the president of Princeton, and several presidents of large science organizations." and you can support the call by singing the petition and giving the petetion organizers your comments about the idea or questions you like to see dealt with in the debate by clicking here.

The petition which was the brainchild of Chris Mooney who described the evolution of the idea like this (from: Call for a Presidential Science Debate):

Let’s begin with some background: Nearly a month ago, I linked up with Matthew Chapman, the author, screenwriter, and great grandson of Charles Darwin. Chapman, I already knew, had a great idea that I wanted to write about in my forthcoming Seed column: A call for a debate among the current crop of presidential candidates solely devoted to issues in science and technology.

One thing led to another, and before long–along with many others, including Sheril (whose contribution has been invaluable) and Physics of Star Trek author Lawrence Krauss– I was helping Chapman organize a push to make this happen. First we got together a distinguished list of scientific luminaries, and later, we assembled a complementary blogger coalition, all in support of the following statement:

Given the many urgent scientific and technological challenges facing America and the rest of the world, the increasing need for accurate scientific information in political decision making, and the vital role scientific innovation plays in spurring economic growth and competitiveness, we, the undersigned, call for a public debate in which the U.S. presidential candidates share their views on the issues of The Environment, Medicine and Health, and Science and Technology Policy.

Sheril Kirshenbaum is a marine biologist at Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and blogs with Chris Mooney over on ScienceBlogs.com in The Intersection blog. Lawrence M. Krauss (wikipedia) is Professor of Physics, Professor of Astronomy, and former Chair of the Physics Department at Case Western Reserve University and just the other day wrote this Op-Ed for the WSJ: Science and the Candidates ] and along with Chris Mooney wrote this Op-Ed for the LA Times: Make science part of the debate.

What the organizers are so far hoping to see discussed in The Debate are topics such as:

The Environment

  • Climate Change
  • Conservation and Species Loss
  • The Future of The Oceans
  • Fresh Water: Drought, Pollution, Ownership
  • Population Growth and Its Effect on Environment
  • Renewable Energy Research

Health and Medicine

  • Global Diseases and Pandemics
  • Stem Cell Research
  • Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
  • Drug Patents, Generic Drugs
  • The Genome
  • Bioethics

Science and Technology Policy

  • Scientific Innovation and Economic Growth
  • Improving Science Education
  • Space Exploration
  • Preserving Scientific Integrity in Government
  • Energy Policy

So again you can support the call by singing the petition and giving the petetion organizers your comments about the idea or questions you like to see dealt with in the debate by clicking here.
