And thus, Stephen Colbert hits on precisely the most alarming issue at the heart of the Tasering incident: The students (and Kerry) stood by. Did nothing. America pacified…
As we wrote to some folks in a discussion list yesterday:
I should also add that, according to the Police Report [PDF], Meyer was arrested on an absurd felony charge of “inciting a riot and disrupting a school function.”
If that was “inciting a riot” worthy of Tasering, I can only shudder at what the authorities’ reaction would have been to someone who was actually inciting a riot.
And I believe my shudder is ultimately, and exactly, the point of such displays by the authorities.
As Naomi Wolf pointed out, such tactics have worked very effectively in the past.

Our initial coverage, and early thoughts on the incident, are posted here…

And check out the new adjunct to the taser.
99 – How quick the propaganda adjunct came out to the assault on the gold star dad story.
NO! I’M FREAKING WAY THE HELL OUT RIGHT NOW ABOUT WWIII TRYING TO START… ABOUT THEM GOING TO NUKE PORTLAND, OR SOMETHING, TOMORROW, AND CALL ME PARANOID, BUT WE BETTER BE SCREAMING TO EVERYONE WE CAN THINK OF RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
[Fixed the link about the six Minot AFB soldiers dead. Sorry to anyone who tried it already.]
99 #3 …with limited knowledge of this technology.
I think a blanket or material could be constructed as a counter measure,
similar to the grid on a microwave oven door.
99 – Re# 3
All one needs to send the microwave beam right back to the people aiming it at you is a corner reflector. This simple device will reflect any microwave energy back to its source regardless of its orientation. In other words, no need to aim it – it always works. They are very simple, cheap and easy to build. Any demonstration organizers could hand them out for free or build them into signs.
You might have to experience the pain but imagine the satisfaction in knowing that those using it against you are suffering the same pain!

Okay, you guys… comment #5 is the pressing concern right now!

The Minot AFB 6 Dead story is amazing, but about as easy to pin down as the flying nukes story.
Heh, tell me about it, Mark! I did so much googling and link chasing I tied my fancy ass computer in knots so badly I had to reboot twice just to let it get itself composed again! It started doing that to my BRAIN as well.
The deal is: there are a bunch of people watching like hawks for large anomalous put options runs, and even more watching every scheduled drill, all in an effort to head off, or heavily document, the next false flag. There are even pods of Truthers who’ve equipped themselves to gather forensic evidence immediately upon such a catastrophe in the hope of busting the perps next time.
The B-52 nukes gig is a clear signal that something radically underhanded is, or was, going on. THERE IS NO WAY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ACCIDENTALLY. First reports were 5 nukes, later amended to 6 nukes. Many people believe this means a nuke went missing in this little episode. Then the sudden rash of Minot AFB deaths so shortly after the incident is not a good sign. Obviously, the answer to who ordered the nukes onto the B-52 is at Minot… if anyone’s still alive…. If you clicked the picture of Portland, you found the piece by the guy who makes a good case for it having to have been Fudd. He thinks Fudd will be disgraced and we’ll see him resigning “for health reasons” soon, but that doesn’t seem to be the way things go these days. As you know, Fudd doesn’t care what we think or know, how big a traitor or jackass he seems, he NEVER swerves from his purpose, and if they haven’t taken him down yet, they’re not going to do it now, even over trying to sneak nukes for nefarious usage.
Anyway, it appears to people in the know about these kinds of things that nukes were moved to make their way to the Middle East… but what’s with the discrepancy in number? Is there a missing nuke, and where will it be found?
In the first counter bill written to HR811, can we please get the current, I believe available, district writing program that can be checked for demographic stats.
Thank you.
