Rep. Kennedy Rips Media in Afghan Speech



Steven Colbert: Patrick Kennedy's inspired/impassioned anti-war speech railing against the corporate controlled media is IGNORED...except for his "meltdown" - SNORKEL-GATE was more important!!!

In Bizarre, Soviet-Style Move, White House Threatens to Veto Intelligence Budget Unless FBI's Anthrax Frame Up Is Accepted

If, as the FBI claims, American govt scientist Bruce Ivins (dead, conveniently) was the 9/11 anthrax mailer, why did he write "Death To Israel" and "Allah Is Great" on the anthrax letters? And why did ABC news at the time, push the story that it was Sadaam/Iraq behind the anthrax mailings? And never answer for pushing that false story with supposed inside sources?

  1. Watch Steven Colbert interview this former CIA official. Watch it very VERY closely: is Colbert (in a funny way) accusing this guy of being a shill???

  2. This Disqus blogging software is self-censoring. Is this a CIA creation?

  3. Getting back to yesterday's "moderation" - I DO NOT/WILL NOT MODERATE ANY COMMENTS! I did it that one time to that guy harrassing me about Willis Carto (or whoever that name was, I don't even remember). And that's because that was harrassment.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Is anyone still having problems posting anything? Please let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  5. BB2: did you have to sign up for Discus? If so, check YOUR settings. Maybe there's something in it. Otherwise, I was unaware of this and I wouldn't moderate anyone, especially you.

  8. I'm really interested in this "moderation" thing. BB2 - try again, and email me the link you're trying to post, and I'll post it myself and then write an email to Discus.

    Now, I will try and read my email which I didn't read since the last time it was at 300 on two different accounts.

    ReplyDelete
  9. BB2: are you using a bogus email on your "email" on the comments? Could that be flipping something?

    ReplyDelete
  10. I did realize something: someone ELSE can "flag" your comments. And I never ever went in to see if anyone does that. I see one flagged BB2 comment from two months ago, but it says "flag test" so I think BB2 flagged it himself.

    ReplyDelete
  11. A-HA! FIGURED IT OUT!

    In Discus, BB2's comments were flagged "SPAM", they're all there!

    But why were they flagged as SPAM? I'll release them all, but I shouldn't have to do that in my opinion!

    ReplyDelete
  12. OK, there's a TON of comments in my SPAM on Discus. I have to check that regularly.

  14. Now, I will RELEASE plunger's comments above, and see where they go...will they go into today's thread? Or the thread they were supposed to be in? Here we go!

    ReplyDelete
  15. OK, one second...I don't see how I can release them. I hafta figure that out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. OK, I hit "approve" on plunger's 3 comments above that were "spammed". This is peculiar: nowhere does it say "approve" anywhere, I accidentally moused over something HIDDEN and a popup came up. It's not straightforward.

    ReplyDelete
  17. OK, it looks like plunger's comments went into YESTERDAY'S thread.

    Check it out.

    Let me tell you this: I SHOULD CONTROL MY OWN SPAM ON MY OWN THREADS...not Discus! Does anyone else agree with this?

    Who are THEY to decide on MY blog, what's spam and what isn't? (mean smiley face)

    ReplyDelete
  18. OK, I approved all of BB2's from yesterday. But why should I have to do that? And why was BB2 and plunger "spammed" when they always post here?

    Dear Editor,

    I have two brothers, one works at Microsoft, the other was sentenced to death in the gas chamber.

    My mother died of insanity when I was three years old, my two sisters are prostitutes and my father sells drugs.

    Recently, I met a girl who was released from a reformatory where she served time for smothering her illegitimate child to death.

    I love this girl very much and want to marry her.

    My problem is this:

    Shall I tell her about my brother who works at Microsoft?

    Sincerely,
    Larry

    respect

  60. Please tell me if you're getting "moderation". I added all those above to the "whitelist", which looks like they were originally put on a "blacklist" when they think it's spam. Then anything from the email address on the blacklisted comment (spam), that person goes right into moderation. Then I think I have clicked off in my email that I don't want any emails from Discus because you get them for so many reasons, I turned it off. So I would've normally (I think) gotten an email saying "a comment is awaiting your moderation" (I'm guessing).

    But I still don't know why Discus decided at some point in time to "moderate" comments from Z, plunger, and BB2. I definitely didn't do that. And what's funny, not ALL their comments, only SOME of them!

    Now I got it! The first link that got sent to moderation was about the coffee party!

    Aha - sending me to moderation so you can rip off my links and use them to your advantage without attribution!

    - funny!

  64. BB2 [Moderator] 19 hours ago in reply to Big Dan
    Every time I tried to comment with a link, it was sent to moderation. You should have three or four in there from tonight, and a few others over time since you started using this. It usually lets me paste in a link, but will send me to moderation if I turn text into a link. Tonight I can't even paste a link.


    That's PROOF that Discus selectively picked comments with links in them and spammed them. See if it works now. I "whitelisted" you!

    Not even infowars is allowing this to be posted. I have a feeling even blogs like this one are being censored by "the monitors" - as even my posts here require a "monitor" to allegedly view them before they are posted.


    Since yesterday on Infowars - this still looks like this:

    OK – now reveal Geithner’s ties to David Rockefeller (CFR, etc.), and role-up the entire conspiracy (inclusive of 9/11) all the way to the top. Geithner’s path through life groomed him for the NY Fed position – where he did as he was told – on behalf of David Rockefeller.

  70. 99 should be happy that liberal blogs are differentiating between the Tea Party and the fake Tea Party:

    Tea partiers, Republicans, and Republicans masquerading as tea partiers are rallying against health care reform this morning on Capitol Hill at an event they're billing as "Code Red."

    This rally is being organized by the more establishment side of the tea party movement -- or co-opted side, depending on your point of view. The sponsors include the Tea Party Express, founded by Republican operatives in California, and FreedomWorks, the corporate-funded outfit run by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Accordingly, the list of speakers is dominated by elected Republicans, albeit some of the more whacked members of the GOP caucus: Reps. Michele Bachmann, Marsha Blackburn, Joe Wilson, and Phil Gingrey.

    We'll have a reporter and photographer there and will bring you more on the event later.

  76. Whoever this plunger character is seems to spam you a lot.

  77. That was me, not Drumbo.

  78. So, is everything OK with the Discus "moderation"? I have a theory that changing your email might subsequently cause you to be spammed. Plunger: have you changed your email lately? BB2 did. This would reinforce my theory. Also, I believe Z changed his email recently. It probably detects that the SAME userid has a different email combination, and it assumes SPAM. Just a theory.

  79. Furthermore, haloscan had nothing strict about it at all. So I got used to never logging into ADMIN and checking things like spam. Haloscan never tagged anything as spam, I don't even recall haloscan having that feature.

    ReplyDelete
  80. If anyone EVER gets that their comment is in "moderation", please IMMEDIATELY let me know!

  84. I didn't change my email here in disqus, I've always used my gmail address here. The address I changed was our personal family address. We dropped AT&T and there SBCglobal email in favor of Comcast super high speed internet.

    So far that has only panned out to be a comedy of errors. When the salesman came he noticed our Dish Satellite dish and assumed we had Dish. I didn't tell him we had dropped it six months ago so he worked up a good deal for us. Then he called back the next day needing a copy of a current Dish billing. I had to cop to not having one which blew that deal. He came back the next day with a different deal, $10/month more, but basically the same package so we went for that one. The appointment for last Saturday to install the equipment was rescheduled to this coming Saturday.

    A week ago Monday they were supposed to run the cable up to the house. When that hadn't happened by Friday I called to find out what was going on. They told me they had come out to see what would be required and would be back yesterday to run the cable. (The old cable was torn down the the big storm several years ago.)

    The equipment installer ended up showing up last Saturday while my wife and I were clear across town buying a used car and only my 17 year old daughter was home so he couldn't come in.

    So far - no cable to the house yet - getting frustrated, about to call it all off.

    Then to add to the excitement, when we left the car lot with our "new" 2002 Saturn I was following my wife and saw that the brake lights weren't working so I pulled alongside her and told her to take it back. We're waiting now for the call to come to pick it up with its brand new electrical system - they had to replace a bunch of parts including some control module. They're not going to be making much off of this car - they had already marked it down $1,000 for the sale they were having.

  85. Same e-mail here. How and why did Dusqus suddenly become the default blogger platform on multiple blogs? Something smells.

  86. I haven't registered with DisQus so the first time I come here after booting my computer and comment DisQus prompts me to join or post as a guest. I choose guest and it sends me an email. I don't respond to the email - It looks like if you do it will start spamming you with comments.

  87. It looks like you've fixed the moderation glitch - Good Job!

    Oh - it only sends the email the first time I comment. As long as I stay online it seems to accept me every time without the join prompt.

  90. How and why did Dusqus suddenly become the default blogger platform on multiple blogs?

    When Haloscan went "social networking" and pay for service many blogs were left with the need to find a new commenting system. While I chose to revert to the Blogger system, as limited as it is, Dan and many others opted for DisQus. After that it just kind of spread around.

  94. I took it because I saw it on Raw Story. Maybe you're on to something. I hated haloscan. You had to wait 1 minute or more while you posted something, then they wanted to start charging you! Charge you for CRAP! For a bad product!

    The spam thing with Discus: I have no idea why Discus took it upon themselves via their software to start tagging regular commenters as spam.

    The only thing I can say for it, is if I had emails from Discus turned on, maybe I would've gotten an email saying I needed to moderate a comment and would've noticed it sooner.

    Thank god it didn't stop ALL your comments and it was intermittent, so in the intermittent times it DIDN'T spam you, you were able to tell me you were getting tagged with "moderation".

    I wrote Z an email asking if that's why he stopped commenting, no answer yet.

    I noticed Z changed his email, too, and so did BB2, so I thought that was the reason. That's if this other guy who was getting tagged spam was Z, which I think it was, because the commenting was typical of Z.

  99. Drumbo can tell you this...one time he called a credit card company and pretended he was his wife, high voice and everything. The guy said "I don't think you're a woman", and Drumbo started arguing with the person, but he said he began to sweat because it was going too far and he had to keep going with it. He might have accused the guy of insulting him because he didn't sound "feminine". If I remember correctly.

  101. As I was screwing around in Discus, I found where you can add "recent comments" to the right side of my blog, so "recent comments" is back, under the picture of me with my Fender Jazz Bass.

  103. pretended he was his wife, high voice and everything.

    When I was in high school in Wisconsin we kept getting phone calls for one of the airlines - American Airlines I think. Most people would apologize for bothering us and didn't call back. Some would make a second call for confirmation that they had the wrong number.

    One day this guy called and called a second time and then a third by which point he became very abusive to my mom, yelling and cursing at her. Nearly had her in tears. She hung up on him and he called right back. My mom's friend from Georgia was visiting and she jumped up and grabbed the phone answering in the thickest southern accent "American Airlines" and proceeded to book him a flight. When she was done and hung up we were all rolling on the floor laughing!

  104. Is there a way on your end to make the page reload to where you left off? Now, any time you click a link, you're returned to the top of the page when you return? On long comment lists like today's it's a bitch to find where you were every time.
