You are absolutely correct Doug - correlation
does not always equal causation.I
happen to be a big fan of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and
he warns us not to be fooled by randomness.I always have that in mind.So am
I looking at randomness or something else?I don't know.We could start by
asking Laura Loomer a simple question:Gee Laura, Cesar Sayoc was arrested in Plantation Florida the day after
you were in Plantation Florida.How did
you miss the biggest story of the prior week by instead going to Georgia and a
Stacey Abrams rally?Laura is in
Plantation Florida on Oct. 25, and the very next day, Oct. 26, Cesar Sayoc, the
faux bomber, is arrested in Plantation Florida.My question is, with these two events so close together in time and
space, what are the odds?When I saw
that in the news it blew my mind.
So on Oct. 26, when I saw Sayoc had been
arrested, I said of Laura, 'This girl's got a nose for news', and I Tweeted
this to @LionelMedia @csthetruth @MeetThePress @LauraLoomer @JoeBiden
@official_barak @SenSanders @HillaryClinton @BillClinton @realDonaldTrump and
@boderek.(Friend of The Bush
family.Long story.)Anyway, I thought the Plantation Plantation
coincidence was quite amazing.And … I
thought trouble was coming.I really
really did.I even sent a Tweet to the
@GWBLibrary saying Mr. President, using a oil wildcatting metaphor, 'I think
I've hit a gusher.'Like I said, this is
Oct. 26.
Oct. 27.The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting happened in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood.I go to Squirrel Hill every day.I live close.On that Saturday a friend called me from a coffee shop in Squirrel Hill
and alerted me to what had happened.The
first thing I thought of?On Oct. 25
Laura had been asked to leave the Kol Ami synagogue in Plantation Fl.What a coincidence!What are the odds?What are the odds of all this happening in a
three-day period?I can't count that
high.
I've been a big critic of Laura on Twitter
since June of this year when I stared following her Tweets.So imagine how a big critic of Laura Loomer
would feel when he has a mass shooting happen in his favorite neighborhood in a
synagogue two days after Laura is ... kicked out of a synagogue.This may be convoluted but I hope you haven't
forgotten I was still reeling from the Plantation, Plantation coincidence.
I sent Laura a lot of Tweets about this while
she was still on Twitter.She ignored
me.I guess I'm not important enough to
be answered.Alt Media is really
populist media and I find it funny how she sees no reason to respond.Okay.You probably know nothing about me Doug, but since 2002 I've been
interested in the appearance of the number 11 popping up in terrorist attacks
and mass shootings.How many 11s can you
find on 9/11?I can find a bunch but that's
another story.That was then.This is now.11 dead in Squirrel Hill.11 days
later the Thousand Oaks Shooting, where 11 people were killed by the gunman,
(the sheriff's sergeant was killed by friendly fire.)Oh by the way, some of the people in that
Thousand Oaks bar had survived The Las Vegas massacre.It kind of comes full circle, doesn't
it?
Laura, Laura, Laura ... I don't want to get
fooled by randomness here but I'm having a tough time of it.Really, all I want is a comment from Laura about
Oct. 25, 26, 27, Plantation, Plantation, Squirrel Hill.What's going on here Laura?Don't you see anything worth
investigating?Here's a
speculation:The FBI hates Laura's guts
and waited until she was out of state to nab Sayoc, because her running around that
investigation is one pain in the ass that they didn’t need.What do Laura's 'sources' at the FBI tell
her?
And if anybody wants to dismiss me as a total
nut-job, I'll make it easy for you.I
should've gone into 'My TV is talking directly to me' mode, ‘The Game of The
Double Slash’ mode.THEY are sending me
a message: the next hit is in your backyard Mr. Death Cult No. 11. I wish I'd gone there mentally.I wish I had gotten on Twitter on Oct. 26 and
started screaming 'Put Squirrel Hill on lock-down now!”Who knows what might not have happened?
Professional
snipers who are honorable take pride in the 'one shot kill.' Not going to let
the poor son of a bitch suffer. How many shots dead center in the forehead? More
than two like in the Cullen video "Right in the Forehead! Yeah, That's
Dead Center.." Las Vegas Shooting: LVMPD Bodycam EVIDENCE? Paddock
Schmaddock wasn't a profession sniper. That's the work of the second shooter.
Hoosier daddy? So the one shooter was just spraying the hose. He'd have to be
an awfully strong motherfucker to keep those beaten zones so close together.
(See Brian Shields' The Fuzzy Math of the Las Vegas Shooting for an explanation
on what a 'beaten zone' is. Stretched forward kill oval basically. ) An AR-15
with a bump stock is a bucking bronco. The other shooter had to be a military
trained sniper picking off some of the concert goers with precision while the
first guy created havoc. If there are more than two dead center head shots, I'd
say we know a little bit more about those two shooters than we did before.
I’m
just trying to paint a picture here with everything I know. The story thus far
and a tip of the hat to retired CIA station chief Brad Johnson for details
other investigators haven't dwelt on: So we have two rooms, 134 and 135. Broken
windows in both rooms. Room 134 and 135 had adjoining rooms and 134 had a dead
bolt that could only be locked from the inside of 134. Room 135 also had a dead
bolt on the front door and according to Johnson there are sensors in those dead
bolts so we know when they were thrown. The bolt in 135 was first thrown about 9:30 and 134 was thrown not long after. Even if Paddock
Schmaddock had locked 134 from the inside he couldn't have gotten back into
135. Okay, two shooters, a sniper in 134 and a machine gunner in 135. Johnson
also talked about the hose we saw in the leaked photos. I always wondered about
that myself. What was if for?
Johnson says the hose was to be connected to a
gas mask found in 135, the other end of the hose hanging out the
window with a battery-operated fan. Looks as if the shooter in 135 was
anticipating a breach to his room sooner rather than later and was ready for
tear gas. This guy wanted to shoot it out with the cops but as we all know the
breach didn't occur until 70 minutes later. Was this designed as a death trap
for the cops? Might be a motive right there for the whole thing.
The shooter in
134 leaves through the front door but where does he go? The fire door still has
the bracket on it and wouldn't open. He disappears into another room? Or maybe he's in a Metro
police uniform and gets off that floor at ground level and acts as if he 'responding
to an active shooter'. That's just a guess. Meanwhile our machine gunner gets
tired of waiting for his big Wild Bunch shoot-out and ... this is in a Cullen
video ... 'Is that somebody going down a zip line?' He's out of there leaving a
body on the floor for everybody to fret over. All the media attention on
'Stephen Paddock' serves as the greatest distraction one can imagine for the
killers to get away scott free. Still working the problem. Anybody see any
flaws in this please let me know. Oh,
my bona fides? There was the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting in The Squirrel Hill
neighborhood on Oct 27 and I live just outside of Pittsburgh. I drive down to
Squirrel Hill just about every day to do banking and shopping and to hang out.
My mother's family lived in the next neighborhood over and I've been going to
Squirrel Hill since I was in diapers. So ... another lone wolf shooter? Whatever you say, pal.
Welcome … to the human nature
channel.I’m you’re host Alex Tamsula and
… what am I doing here?
Well what I’m doing here today
is talking about the problem of identifying good broadcast journalism.Just to be clear, I’m not setting this up as some
type of good journalism versus bad journalism dichotomy, because the type of broadcast
journalism I’m using as contrast isn’t technically bad work, but it’s a journalistic
style I don’t particularly like, one where the questions are disguised as little
speeches, where the goal of the interview is not to extract information or even
establish an individual’s unique a point of view, but to signal an agenda.I would rather step on a used Q-Tip on the ground
than listen to propaganda disguised at journalism.
Now I happen to be a big fan
of broadcast journalist Katie Couric. I
think she is really good at what she does.I first became aware of Katie in the late nineties when I was still finding
work doing computer aided drafting.I’d
get up at six in the morning, have my shower and breakfast.Then at seven I’d be drinking coffee, and
while waiting to leave for work in twenty minutes I’d watch The Today Show.
I always liked Katie’s style
of broadcast journalism.I remember the
moment I realized just how good she was when I watched her coverage of The Columbine
school shooing.It was thoughtful and
restrained.You could see the look on
Katie’s face that her heart went out to the survivors and family members who
lost loved one.However, she never let
her emotions get in the way of doing the story; she never inserted herself into
the story; never once did I feel Katie was exploiting the people of Littleton.She did her work honestly and objectively.
By way of difference let’s
talk about Ann Curry, Katie’s colleague on Today.Just for the record I want to say, even though
I was never a big fan of Ann’s, I thought the way she was unceremoniously
booted off Today was atrocious.As if scapegoating
her for the show’s poor ratings wasn’t bad enough, to give her the ‘don’t let the
door hit you in the ass’ treatment after all the heavy lifting she did for Today,
to not get the happy sent-off that Meredith Vieira received who had not been on
Today for nearly half as long, made me sick.I said to myself I’m through tuning in to this morning snake pit.
However, there is the issue of
Ann’s style of broadcasting.The way I
reacted positively to Katie’s way of doing business, the opposite was true with
Ann.She’d do something that is unfortunately
all too common in the news bizz nowadays and it drives me nuts – she’d find a
way to editorialize.Sometimes it would
be in the way she framed the question, or in her tone of voice, or the back and
forth she’d have with the person she was interviewing, but it always came down
to this – I knew what her politics where because she was selling it.Ann, being a proud ‘progressive’, never
missed an opportunity to drive the point home.
Now Katie and Matt may have
been big liberals just like Ann.In fact,
it wouldn’t surprise me if they gave their names and time and money to liberal
causes.But you never could tell that based
on their reporting alone.It was
something I appreciated.Not so with Ann.
I remember onetime watching Ann
as she was interviewing the black conservative columnist Shelby Steel, and he
was saying things I’d heard other black conservative say before: Oh the Civil
Rights movement has out-lived its usefulness, or that black communities need to
focus more on self-reliance, ect, ect.At
that point Ann leaned back in her chair and said, “Oh c’mon.”
Oh c’mon?I could not believe what I was seeing and
hearing, and apparently the absurdity of an Asian-American woman telling a
black man how to be black just flew right over her head. (Whist).Ann Curry editorializing to beat the band was
not something I wanted to see.If you’re
a broadcast journalist your politics mean nothing to me.Please keep it to yourself.Why do you think voting is with secret
ballots?Because I don’t have to know.
Now I don’t know if Ann’s
style of journalism played any role in her departure, (I have my own theory as
to what was really going on), but all I can say is Ann, where did all those
group hugs get you?
Not long before Katie left Today
she interviewed some guy.I don’t even
know who he was.I was in the kitchen while
this was going on and came into the living room at the tail end of the conversation.The man said to Katie, “You’re very nice.”
For some reason Katie stiffened
in her chair and said, “I’m not nice.I’m
honest.”Whoa!We just hit an iceberg.Abandon ship!I’m not exactly sure why Katie reacted the way she did.Maybe she thought he was getting cute.Or maybe he strayed into territory that
demanded a quick response, especially on air.I thought about what that meant and I’m speculating here, but Katie may have
been saying hey, if you’re going to make me part of the story … it better be about
one thing and one thing only – I did honest reporting.Katie is not interested in hearing she’s perky,
or she’s America’s sweetheart, or she’s a glamour pus.That may all be true, and maybe even appreciated
in a different context, but not when Katie is on the clock.The story is not about her and she seemed particularly
scrupulous about it.When Katie is being
a journalist, who she is … is not germane.There’s a line she doesn’t want crossed and she’ll enforce it if you do.At that moment I said to myself, ‘There’s a pro’.
And Matt.You poor bastard.How many emails did I sent to Today back in
the day, trying to warn you people over and over about how ruthless Hillary
Clinton could be? After that Commander
In Chief Forum where you repeatedly pressed Hillary about her emails, she
wanted your head and it looks like she got it.I’d be surprised if this hasn’t crossed your mind already.Hey silver fox, did you think I was talking out
of my hat!

Okay I was watching the Today
Show one time and Lisa Marie Presley was out in the plaza doing a song on the
stage.After she finished you could see
her low rider jeans had slid down way far.
Matt said, “That’s a nice song.”
Al said, “That’s a nice thong.”
Matt
said, “I need this job.”
Matt, Katie,
Ann and Al.That’s when Today was fun.
Dear Stefan. If I said, "Nuff said", would you know what I was talking about? I assume you were a reader of Laura Tweets and you should know she used that phrase on a Sunday which would be a trending hastag on the following Monday when the world learned Stan Lee had died. (I did get a screen shot of if with the Sunday date circled in red in case you'd like to see.) I mean for crying out loud, doesn't that strike you as a little odd? It's the little things. A bunch of little things together. Right? Or how about her indifference to the Uygurs, the Chinese Muslim minority being put into detention camps? Seems to me a Jewish woman wouldn't want to see anybody put into detention camps. Did you read that Tweet, right? Boy if I did a YouTube video where I interviewed Laura I'd sure ask her about her Tweet stating that America should only worry about what's happening in our own county. And you could ask her where she got the idea of presenting her name as LOOmer. You might be surprised. Really this is not just about me. Of course not. A professional martyr with a moan in her voice? Oldest trick in the book, Stefan. @AlexTamsula on Twitter.
Oct. 25, Laura Loomer gets asked to leave a synagogue in Plantation Florida. Oct. 26, Cesar Sayoc the mad almost bomber is arrested in ... Plantation Florida! I Tweeted about this all over the place. Like David Seamen trying to order a pizza, I'm screaming about Laura most of the day over this, saying something is not right here. Oct. 27 Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, 11 shot dead in ... a synagogue! As a prodigious critic of Laura Loomer on Twitter, imagine my surprise. Squirrel Hill is a Pittsburgh neighborhood I've been going to mostly everyday since 1980, The Historical Center of Jewish life in Pittsburgh, and before I moved to Pittsburgh, Squirrel Hill was a place I went to all the time since my mother's family lived in the next neighborhood over, Greenfield. I'm trying to calculate the odds all of this happening in a three day period and honestly, I can't count that high.
Now let's back this up a bit. When it comes to alternative media and especially YouTubers doing analysis of The Las Vegas shooting, Laura's name comes up quite a bit. Here's what I'm seeing: Las Vegas, Plantation, Plantation, Squirrel Hill, then The Thousand Oaks bar shooting which came ... 11 days later. And some of the survivors of the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting were in that Thousand Oaks bar. If I'm looking at some Deep State slime trail, it does seem to come full circle doesn't it? And it would've been 11 dead again if not for the Sheriff sergeant's friendly fire death.
And the Nazi mandated star Laura wore when she handcuffed herself to the door of Twitter HQ in New York? A Jew wouldn't do that. I've been talking about this for over a month and since nobody in Alt-Media has the guts to address my concerns, I've come to the conclusion that Alt Media is a money grubbing fraud.
@AlexTamsula on Twitter.
Hey. Welcome to the Human Nature Channel. I’m your host Alex Tamsula and … what am I
doing here?
Well what I’m doing here today is
introducing a new series of videos exclusively for Twitter called 512 MB with
Alex or 2:20 seconds, which ever comes first.
These videos will eventually appear on my YouTube Channel The Human
Nature Channel but you’ll see them here first.
I’m going to talk briefly about the
term Conspiracy Theory. Since the 2016 Presidential
election you hear the term Conspiracy Theory mentioned on news shows all the
time. Today if you’re a Conspiracy
Theorists they practically accuse you of showering with Vladimir Putin. But it wasn’t always like that.
Once upon a time being a Conspiracy
Theorist was simply … a life style choice.
They humored us. Do you remember
that Mel Gibson Conspiracy Theory, which dips into MK Ultra. (Real Conspiracy Theorists know what that is). Jerry, Mel’s character, even joked about
Oliver Stone, Mr. Conspiracy Theory himself with his movie about the JFK assassination,
appropriately titled JFK.
My evidence that being a Conspiracy
Theorist at one time was no big deal is the Message Boards on AOL. Now Message Boards were discontinued by AOL
in 2009, but in 2002 there were Message boards on every subject you could
imagine. News, Sports, Pets, Cooking,
Gardening, even a message boards for Star Wars fans. A lot of different interests were covered.
In 2003 somebody sent me an email
and invited me over to AOl’s Conspiracy Theory message board. I’m somebody who had been reading books on
The JFK assassination since I was 11 old.
I said to myself, “Home Sweet Home.”
Here’s the punch line – the people on
Conspiracy Theory message board never talked about Conspiracy Theories …
ever! All the stuff that could’ve been
brought up, possible assassination of Gen. George S. Patton, the JFK assassination
of JFK, the MLK assassination of MLK, the RFK assassination. It’s not like we didn’t have plenty of topics
to pick from. Not even 9/11 as a false
flag event. It was just pro George W.
Bush people vs anti George W. Bush. That
was it … for years. Keep in mind the
lore of Conspiracy Theory World is vast.
It touches on so many subjects. But
these people just wanted to argue about Dubya and The Iraq war all the time.
A Conspiracy Theory message board where
never once did anybody there ever talk about any Conspiracy Theory or even use
the phrase. Does that sound right to you?
Hey. Welcome to the Human Nature Channel. I’m your host Alex Tamsula and what am I
doing here? Well what I’m doing here
today is another 2:20 seconds with Alex on Twitter, the part 2 of my reminiscence
about time spent on the AOL Conspiracy Theory Message board.
Like I said in my previous video,
the Conspiracy Theory message board on AOL was a place where never once did
anybody there ever talk about any Conspiracy Theory or even use the phrase. All people wanted to do was argue about
whether The US military going into Iraq back in 2003 was a good idea or a bad
one.
Now this just occurred to me
recently - any college study, any class time spent in Political Science, like I
went through, will be the establishmentarian point of view. What else are you going to get? Political Science doesn’t concern itself with,
a far as I can tell, the corrupt side of governance, which for your information
is what Conspiracy Theory and The Truth movement are really all about.
But The Iraq War was topic No.
1. And hey … of course I think I’m
Kissinger. You want to argue something
political? I’m you’re boy, and I argued the establishmentarian point of view.
Somebody would post, “Saddam
Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.” To
which I would respond, “Well, if you’re going to roll up the international
terrorist network, you’ve got to start somewhere.” And posts in response to that would say
something to the effect, “Arg arg arg Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with
9/11.” And I would answer, “Well you
know, The Clinton administration designated Saddam’s regime as a State Sponsor
of Terror.” And the responses I’d get
back were, “Arg arg arg Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.”
Then I’d say, “There is a story I
heard repeated by R. James Woolsey Jr., Bill Clinton’s first CIA director, that
The Salman Pak Military facility 15 miles S of Baghad had a disabled 707 on the
tarmac that was used for training foreign terrorists in air plane
highjacking. And the terrorist had
practiced with boxcutters.” The
immediate response I got was, “That story’s been debunked!” “By whom?” I wanted to know. “The Iraqi Government” was the answer I got. (Laughter.)
Later.
Welcome to the Human Nature Channel. I’m your host Alex Tamsula and what am I
doing here? Well what I’m doing today is
another 2:20 seconds with Alex, the third part of my reminiscence about time spent
on the AOL Conspiracy Theory Message board.
When it comes to content creators
nowadays, specifically people who do political commentary on YouTube and
Twitter, probably the number one concern in the back of everybody’s mind is
getting ‘deplatformed’. It is such a new
issue my spell check doesn’t even recognized the word without putting a redline
under it, which should tell you something.
This is quite new, because for as
long as I can remember I was taught that one of the foundations of our Constitutional
Republic is Freedom of Speech. I’d like
somebody to explain how we square that with Alex Jones getting kicked off of YouTube
and Twitter, and Rodger Stone getting kicked of Twitter, and even the actor
James Woods having his Twitter account deactivated. I guess it come down to what you mean by …
free.
The issue has become front and
center since the 2016 Presidential election with the rise of the term ‘fake
news’ and how it’s so awful. I was
jotting down some thoughts for this very video on Monday when something gave me
a different opening. I was given a
suspension on Twitter, which means for the next 24 hours only my 24 follower
could see my Tweets, over a Tweet someone thought was offensive, and it had to
be that one that disappeared.
On Oct. 1, the one-year anniversary
of the Las Vegas shooting I posted a video of ZZ Top doing Viva Las Vegas, the
old Elvis tune, and I said, “Hey ISIS, eat this.” Don’t forget, ISIS took
credit for The Vegas shooting so I was well within my rights calling them out. Whether ISIS was behind it, whether Stephen Paddock
acted alone, I don’t know.Personally, I
think the Paddock story stinks for many reasons, one of being his room looked a
gun show where buyers were expected to drop by.But that’s just me.
This is Twitter where apparently
there is a difference between playing Viva Las Vegas as opposed to posting the
hash tag Vegas Strong. I don’t know what
that is. Maybe bulling ISIS is a
violation of Terms Of Service. You tell
me.
What does this have to do with The
AOL Conspiracy Theory Message Board? I got
kicked off of AOL temporarily too to stuff I said. More on that in the next video.
Later
Welcome to the Human Nature Channel. I’m your host Alex Tamsula and what am I
doing here? What I’m doing is another
2:20 seconds with Alex, part four of my reminiscence about time spent on the
AOL Conspiracy Theory Message board.
When last we met, I mentioned I had
been given temporary suspensions from AOL over message board comments. Like Twitter there are Terms of Service, and
there were unseen moderators who enforce the rules. Sometimes when they made posts vanish they
seemed as arbitrary as anything you see on Twitter. Come to think of it, the moderators might be
the reason The Conspiracy Theory Message board never had any posts about … conspiracies.
Most posters there were decidedly
left-wing. I’d say 70% of them were
progressives. One guy I was always going
up against had the screen name Jeff2friends, a big Howard Dean supporter, and
he was pretty typical – bait the other 30%.
I learned you’re not supposed to
call a lying idiot a lying idiot. One
time I went to the Star Wars Message board calling them a bunch of retards. That suspension I deserved, but so what? Suspensions were overcome by simply logging
in again. AOL is a paid subscription
service. Ban somebody and make them take
their money elsewhere? Are you nuts?
James Evans Pilato at MediaMonarch
dot com once said that if the service is free, you’re the product. (Mr. Pilato does great work. Follow him on Twitter). I agree you are the product if the service is
free, but I’ve seen it from
the other side. There’s much difference between The Message
boards of yore and what’s going on at Twitter, except the permanent ban. No small thing but the common denominator?
It’s still corporatism. Ultimately corporatism is against Freedom of
Speech because you might say something that tanks their stock.
One time I got kicked off because I
asked Jeff2friends if he was Jeff Rense. Do you know who that is? One of the original Alt Right obviously
pro-Nazoid radio guys, who also made good use of internet pod casts. After I got the boot I was informed it
violates terms of service to ask the identity of someone behind a screen
name. Privacy you understand. When I got back online Jeff2friends answered
me. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” On top of everything else the Deaniac gets
cute.
Ask me who I am behind my screen
name and I’ll tell you. I’m your worst
nightmare.
Later
Welcome to the human nature channel. I’m you’re host Alex Tamsula what am I doing
here?
What I’m doing is a bonus video to
my four-part Twitter series, 2 Minutes And 20 Seconds with Alex, which covered
my days on The AOL Conspiracy Theory Message board. And what I have here is a post from
Jeff2frndz, his open letter to Al Qaeda.
Get a load of this.
Subject: Re: An open letter to
Al Qaeda
Date:
8/30/2003 12:44 Eastern Daylight Time
From:
Jeff2Frndz
<<I BELIEVE AL QAIDA READS MESSAGE
BOARDS, AFTER ALL THEY EVEN FREQUENT USA BARS, I.E. MUHAMMED (sic) ATTA DID.
>>
Dear Al;
I do not know you, but it has been brought to my
attention that you are reading this, so I will write this to you
here, since you failed to leave a forwarding
address. While I find your attacks on a
US man-of-war to be totally without merit, and the deaths of those sailors that
died in this attack to be on your heads, I also think that this is ultimately
between you and Allah. It's your karma.
However, the campaign to make you this century's
"Soviet Communist" is something that many people here are not buying
into. WE know that your leader denied culpability, and given the track-record
of "proof" offered by your accusers, we are willing to give you the benefit
of the doubt in this -- provided that you also lay off the inverse -- calling
us liars and killers and give us time. You see, there are many that want to see
the attacks on entire populations based on the questionable actions of a few
stopped -- ours against you as well as yours against ours. Give us just a
little time, and we will get rid of the threat to peace that threatens the
entire world. I am talking, of course, of the Bush regime.
So please, give us a little time, and we will be
leaving you alone, and not trying to force on you the government you do not
want. If you want to set up a theocracy in YOUR own nation, that should be your
choice, as bad as that will turn out to be for you (and the rest of the world
too, but the rest of the world has no business telling YOU what to do in your
own native lands than it does telling us).
Take care, and after we get this regime out of power,
and cooler heads prevail, perhaps we can all meet at the bar that we are told
you frequent for information and have a few?
Signed, Your Anti-NeoCon
This letter was a result of my
saying in a message board post to Jeff2frndz that I had seen a Google picture
of Ayman al Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s no. 2, reading a copy of The New York Times, a
picture you can no longer find on line anymore.Believe me I’ve tried.I said it’s obvious Zawahiri could at least
read English, so it’s reasonable to assume that terrorists could read message
boards.In this letter Jeff seems to be
saying in his uber sarcastic way that, ‘Why would terrorists be interested in
social media?’
Like Bugs Bunny used to say, “What
a maroon.”
If you want to argue this point or
any other please feel free to say something incredibly stupid in the comments
section below, and I’ll get back to crush your mind as soon as possible.Plus everybody gets a like no matter what.

Welcome to the human nature channel.I’m you’re host Alex Tamsula and what am I doing here?What I’m doing is another 2 minutes and 20 seconds with Alex, this time some thoughts on The Judge Kavanaugh hearings and The MeToo Movement.
The street protesters tell us all victims of sexual assault need to be believed. Well I have a problem with the word ‘believed’. I not sure I know what it means in this context. If I’m law enforcement and a woman came to me with an account of sexual assault, I would take her seriously, I might even say, “I believe you.” But when it comes to the process of an investigation, or of a prosecutor building a case and winning it at trial, belief
has little to do with it. It’s about the evidence.
The word ‘believed’ sounds like a leap of faith. If I were a cop, the first question I’d ask is: “Was alcohol involved?” If the answer is ‘yes’ I’d be thinking, I’ve got my work cut-out for me.
Let’s consider how the MeToo moment got its start. It wasn’t about girls being sexually assaulted on college campuses. It was about powerful men in the entertainment and the broadcast industries accused of pressuring women for sex, with the implied threat that her career is at risk if she didn’t put out. Then there’s Cosby, which sounds like one step up from necrophilia, but it’s still the same case with women afraid of reporting him. MeToo was about powerful men behaving like stinking aristocrats. How do we get from that to what Judge Kavanaugh was accused of?
Risky behavior. If I say Carson Street and you live in Pittsburgh, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Lots of bars, crowds of people drinking every weekend. A few years
back there was a South Side rapist who preyed upon women
that had been drinking on Carson Street, and this criminal was probably shrewd enough to realize that a woman who had been totally plotzed will have a tougher time IDing an assailant.
Memory can be notoriously unreliable under the best of circumstance. Prosecuting attorneys will tell you that. If a woman has been sexually assaulted after binge drinking, it makes the justice system’s job that much harder to do.
I sent Sen. Joe Manchin, he of the brave vote, this Tweet. ‘After the Kavanaugh-Ford testimonies, nobody is saying let’s have a conversation about underage drinking and binge drinking on college campuses. It’s at the root of this confirmation mess. How about you?’
I’ll also send The Senator this video. I’m that kind of guy. Later.
Hey. Welcome to the human nature channel. I’m your host Alex Tamsula and … what am I doing here?
Well what I’m doing here today is putting in my two cents in about the Asia Argento affair. Old news before it gets too old I know, I mentioned to my friend The Human Encyclopedia I was thinking about doing a video on Asia and her troubles and he winced at the idea. What can I say. I dig muscular chicks.
The applecart upsetting twist in the MeToo saga is the news that actress Asia Argento, the second high-profile accuser along with Rose McGowan alleging Harvey Weinstein sexually
assaulted them, was herself accused of being a sexual predator by the actor Jimmy Bennet, a young man Asia allegedly dallied with some years ago when he was 17, one hash mark below the age of consent in the State of California where these two were.
Mr. Bennet had worked as a child and teenage actor, someone who had worked with Asia in the past, and who’s most noteworthy role to date being an adolescent James T. Kirk in the Star Trek reboot.
According to one story I read, as Mr. Bennet became an adult he started hearing ‘You’re not what we’re looking for’ a lot more, finding the transitioning from young adult actor to adult actor running none to smoothly.
So one day he decided that if Asia was a victim, hey he must be one too. Here we have a selfie of Mr. Bennet looking extremely traumatized, with Asia snoozing next to him presumably after being ridden hard and put away wet. A matter of a requested settlement by Mr. Bennet’s attorney of 380,000 dollars along with the willingness of Asia’s boyfriend the late Anthony Bourdain to pay this guy off grabbed my attention in a peculiar way.
I’m reminded of the brilliant opening to Raymond Chandler’s brilliant first novel, The Big Sleep, which introduced the world to the hardboiled private detective Philip Marlowe.Marlowe has an appointment with Gen. Sternwood at The Sternwood mansion to talk about the blackmailing of Sternwood’s nympho daughter Carmine.Sternwood asks Marlowe his conclusion after hearing the particulars and Marlowe says, “I’d pay,” because “It’s a question of a little money against a lot of annoyance.”
There is the annoyance factor. Did Asia make an error in judgment in not throwing this kid in a car and driving to a state were age of consent was lower? If by error in judgement you mean what comes back to bit you on the ass real hard, I suppose. 380,000 dollars is a pair of stainless-steel dentures.
I bring up the Marlowe/Chandler reference to point out something nobody else has as far as I can tell. I’m sure I’ll hear about it if I’m wrong but … there is a noir quality to all this.
An Italian actress from a movie making family swept up in a Hollywood sex scandal that brings down a mogul while some small fry engineers a pay-day.Denials are issued, photos dispute them.Money changes hands.The boyfriend dies.This has all the makings of a hardboiled detective novel, or a Giallo if you’re Italian, and fairly or unfairly Asia is cast in the role of the most spellbinding femme fatale I’ve ever seen.I don’t think Asia herself is evil but I think dark forces do swirl around her.
So let’s put this story through the filter of unabstracted human nature and see what comes out the other end shall we?
Woo woo.
Nothin’ shakin on shakedown street …
Sitting in Pittsburgh as I shoot this video, I want to say we have a soft spot in our hearts for the Argento family.We fans of George Romero think you guys are okay.Daddy Dario worked with George on Dawn of The Dead and Two Evil Eyes.And for the record I loved Phenomena with Jennifer Connelly.Dario let that meat rot for two weeks just so he had enough flies for one scene?
Top that Werner Herzog.
If you want to argue this point … feel free to leave a flaming bag of dog poop on my door step and ring the doorbell in the comments section below. I want you to.
Trolls, yum yum. Trolls yum yum.
