White gunman kills nine Black church-goers - Jews to blame!

I'm a regular reader of Mike Rivero's What Really Happened website. There's always been a lot of dodgy shit there, but a lot of good stuff too.

But when I read this pathetic attempt to pin the SC tragedy on some vague Jewish conspiracy, linked to at What Really Happened, I thought, hey Mike, ya gotta get some quality control happening in what you allow on your site.

Questioning what kind of pharmacology products Mr. Roof was on is fair game.

Speculating about how Obama might spin this tragedy for political purposes is fair game.

But "arch Zionist gun control hoax?"

Get the fuck outta here!

This is the kind of story that delegitimizes genuine resistance to Israel's crimes in the West Bank and Gaza.

Facebook; warden of the digital panopticon

I see where Michael Rivero is in a flap because Facebook has suspended his What Really Happened site for security reasons.

I'm guessing it's because he's been using too much of the First Amendment in his impassioned defense of the Second Amendment. Apparently there is a bunker in the bowels of Facebook HQ where teams of mathematicians and computer scientists create algorithms that can detect when a subject is in violation of the secret Constitutional Amendment Invocation Code.

While that scenario may be hypothetical (so far) there is no question that Facebook is at the vanguard of a new generation of intrusive surveillance technology.

That well over a billion supposedly free citizens of this planet have voluntarily opened their lives to this corporate snooping behemoth is something I find baffling. Are that many flesh and blood people so alienated and lonely that they find comfort in the virtual friends that Facebook delivers to their iPad?

People need to get out more.

Without their iPad and their smart phone.

Escape the panopticon!
