We join with FBI Director James
Comey who refused to name the mass murderer in Orlando to avoid the
“twisted notion” that “fame or glory” could come
from carrying out the attack.
We join with Le Monde, La Croix,
and CNN French TV affiliate BFMTV who will no longer publish
photographs and names of terrorists “to avoid possible posthumous
glorification effects.”
We stand with Douglas County
Sheriff John Hanlin who became world news by refusing to name the perp
in an Oregon college incident given saturation
“coverage.”
We support the work of No
Notoriety, a citizen effort to curtail glorification heaped upon the
worst elements of society in perverse efforts to increase media
revenues.
The well-established link between copycat crimes, and
excessive exposure of criminal perpetrators by mass media, must finally be
admitted and broken. We support adoption of the ethical guideline above to
encourage responsible reporting, and discourage behavior by reporters,
broadcasters and editors that tends to glorify, promote or encourage mass
murderers, jihadis and related criminal activity.
Every
journalist who fails to take steps to limit the publicity support these
heinous villains seek is virtually complicit in their crimes against
humanity. Adopt the new guideline in your heart even if the profession
is slow to adopt it
officially.
“We must starve terrorists of the oxygen of publicity
which they seek.” Margaret

“Refrain from
gratuitous or repetitious portrayal of mass murderers’ names and
images.”
Initial responses from journalists have been, for the most
part, predictably resistant, with excuses that fail to recognize or ignore
the problem and the actual elements of the ethical guideline. This is not a
call for censorship, it is a call for rationale and temperment, and the
same sensibility journalists use in deferring from publishing rape victims
names. It seeks the same reasonable guidelines journalists use in not
publishing troop movements during war time. It recognizes that gory dead
bodies never appear in the news, because journalists understand the
difference between news and yellow-journalism sensationalism designed for
nothing more than revenue generation.
Some in the profession have
refused to admit that the evidence between constantly promoting mass
murderers by name and image, and copycat crimes is obvious, preferring to
deny the obvious and the abundant research. Bloomfield Press is not alone
in seeking to wake up the troglodytes who insist and persist in glorifying
the most heinous criminals, by clothing themselves in First Amendment
emperor's garb.
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms
Ownership (jpfo.org) will be issuing a supportive statement as well, in
addition to support they have been issuing since March of this year, all
coordinated with the timing of The Society of Professional Journalists
(spj.org) Annual Conference and Ethics Committee meeting taking place
in New Orleans, Sep. 20 - 22. That meeting will address media coverage of
mass murder, with the citizens group No Notoriety as part of the
panel discussion.
The outlook for adopting a new ethical
guideline to dissuade the current practice of glorification and promotion
of mass murderers and jihadis is unclear as we go to
press.
Your Homework
Assignment:
Tomorrow, Sep. 11, 2016 -- Count how many
times the lamestream media "treats" you to glorified images of the mass
murderer, now dead, who attacked America 15 years ago, destroying our
greatest buildings, killing thousands of us, mobilizing his armies against
us. That's not news. They do it for perverse, immoral reasons. They
energize and excite our enemies with this. They should be ashamed. They are
not. They perpetuate evil. The media are complicit in the evil by doing
this propaganda for the other side. Count how many times they flood you
personally with that image and name. Then report it to your local media --
and to Page Nine.

2- Government Weather Forecast Tells Nothing,

Caleb Jones
(Associated Press) Officials with the National Weather Service’s

chance it will be below normal.

Is it actually possible the AP reporter who
reported this report couldn't tell this reports nothing? There is no way to
tell if this report is accurate -- even after the fact. If storms
are at, above or below average the report will be correct. It is framed so
that it cannot be wrong. It is probably the worst example of a report
detail, or maybe best that is worthless ever created, tied with who knows
how many other government reports. But this one stands out thanks to the
math.
How much did this 40/40/20 result cost the tax payers, and
how many "scientists" did it take to screw in this light bulb? In fairness,
they did say Pacific hurricanes (technically cyclones) will be average, and
predict between four and seven. Who's counting, who's accountable and is
there any accounting if the count is off? Does it matter if a tax-funded
bureau guesses there will be X storms and there aren't? How much does that
cost?

3- IMMIGRATION ISN'T BROKEN -- ADVOCATES
ARE
Media
Distortions Distort Our Thinking
Our system is as good
as any nation's
They're just not swamped with
invaders like we are
The lamestream media told

America's immigration
system is broken. America's immigration system is broken. America's

America's immigration system is broken. America's immigration system is

system is broken. America's immigration system is broken. America's
immigration system is broken.
The Uninvited Ombudsman
notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however
that:
The going narrative is that our immigration
system is "broken."
"Broken" is a code word used by agenda-driven
interest groups when something is not working the way they want it to work.
Nothing is broken. Nothing needs fixing. They just want to put in a fix. A
corrupt fix. They want to fix what ain't broke. If it ain't broke, don't
fix it, right?
It's a common trick. A subtle but seductive error
of logic. It's being used about our fine, well oiled, well planned
excellent immigration system. Oh, it could use some adjustment -- what
government-run system can't -- but for all intents and purposes it's fine.*
What isn't fine, for the broken-advocates, is their inability to flood this
nation with teeming humanity, without rational
controls.
The left and "useful idiots" would have you believe
that controlling the border is a bad thing. Keeping people out by force --
which we can't do at the moment anyway -- and enforcing that, well that
part is broken. We're a laughing stock. Other nations consider their
borders sacrosanct. That's what sovereignty is all about. You protect
what's within your borders for safety and security -- one of the prime
purposes of government in the first place.
Some nations barely
accept immigrants. We take immigrants by the millions -- and millions want
to get here. It's not broken to reject illegal immigrants. That's got a
name. That's called normal.
That's why those immigrants who
sneakin are called illegal. Obeying the rules and
immigrating the right way is good, encouraged, welcomed with open arms, the
rule of law, celebrated on the front page, especially on holidays -- look
at the new citizens! Immigration si. Illegal immigration
no!
It's not broken to have a system for taking newcomers
under your wing, teaching them your ways, bringing them into your
economics, tax base, social systems, schooling, in an orderly measured
fashion. We have this. We decided how, in a representative Congress, as
best we could, with some warts and scars we constantly repair.* It is
however defiled, abused, cheated on, defrauded constantly by some people
arriving -- yes that's broken, and must be fixed. But having it,
that's normal, desirable, perfectly fine.
What's broken is that
the "news" media generally supports illegal immigration. They champion it,
root for it, cry when illegal immigrants have a tough time. They support
every illegal immigration rule bending, policy shift, unwarranted benefit,
every public cost, every feeding frenzy at the public feed trough. That's
what's broken. It's the liberal progressive left-wing socialist marxist
takeover that is insisting the hard-working tax-producing American stalwart
be responsible for every illegal leach that can make it across the desert,
as if we owe them something. That's what's broken.
What's broken
is the idea that we the people have to suffer for something the democrats
alone believe in. The country is indeed divided. It's divided between the
haves and the want-yours. And the way to fix it is to first recognize what
is.
*My contacts in the immigration services tell me the
current administration has them looking the other way to allow
sharia-devoted muslims in without concern, religious groups are complicit
in accepting refugees for money per head under the radar you would
be alarmed about if you knew, the numbers of people accepted in various
categories is hopelessly askew, with some laborers locked out and other
groups way large for political reasons, like I said, the system needs
adjustment, which is another story.
Special thanks
to a published letter by Craig Tillman of Mesa, Ariz. for alerting me to
this perspective, and reminding me about "broken," which I've written about
before and belongs in my Politically Corrected
Glossary.

Today, Gregory Korte -- President Obama announced another 111 commutations,
adding on to the 214 he
issued weeks ago. He has used his clemency power more times than the
last ten presidents combined, according to the Department of Justice...
part of the Obama administration's two-year old clemency initiative...
About a third of Obama's 673 commutations to date have been for people
serving life sentences.
"As
successful as we’ve been in reducing crime in this country, the
extraordinary rate of incarceration of nonviolent offenders has created
its own set of problems that are devastating," he said. "Entire
communities have been ravaged where largely men, but some women, are
taken out of those communities. Kids are now growing up without
parents.
It perpetuates a cycle of poverty and disorder in their lives. It is
disproportionately young men of color that are being arrested at higher
rates, charged and convicted at higher rates, and imprisoned for longer
sentences."
Those granted shorter sentences Tuesday were
convicted
of drug offenses for trafficking cocaine, heroin, marijuana and
methamphetamine. But sixteen of the commutations granted Tuesday also
included firearms offenses. In his August 4 press conference, he said
he's tried to "screen out" inmates with a propensity for
violence.
The
Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes
however that:
Obama of course hasn't doubled prison releases
of criminals, or shortened sentences of criminals, he has a czar organizing
this. The czar has hired an entire department of people to go over the
records of criminals to select the criminals to be released. They are
highly paid, sitting in well equipped high-security offices with access to
everything they could want or need. They are white executives from the
suburbs with 2.3 children in private schools and family vans, or since that
would be racist, maybe they're not.
The point is, you don't know
who is poring over the 11,477 records (as of Aug. 11), picking the
criminals to be released, and the "news" media isn't looking, doesn't care,
and isn't informing the public. You're lucky they're even telling you Obama
is vastly increasing the numbers of criminals Obama is releasing back into
the public, because their sentences are "too harsh." They didn't identify
what those sentences are, or what the harsh crimes were. They "reported"
it, because Obama announced it, and they are mimics, not
reporters.
Apparently in a mental haze, Mr. Obama seems to believe
black children are growing up without parents because black drug dealers
are arrested in ghettos, overlooking the 70% out-of-wedlock birth rate in
black communities, unmentioned in his "news" briefing about releasing
criminals. "Kids ('young men of color') are now growing up without
parents.
It perpetuates a cycle of poverty and disorder in their lives," he said.
The president of color is releasing young prisoners of color, issuing
clemency at ten times the historic rate, and no one sees any racism
in this?
Bureaucrats assume new
roles— testing waters for future
administration?
Why use Congress when
infringement works without representation?
Abuses
skyrocket, but armed public remains quiescent
1.
Gunsmiths (in theory at least), according to new "rules" put in place
without Congress or public representation or approval, can't operate
without international defense materiel qualifications and excessive fees
and paperwork. This could force most of them out of business, into
bankruptcy or into felony violation of the new "law" (actually, AECA and
ITAR import/export regulations, even if you are a strictly domestic
operation). Very clever attack on the part of the current administration --
it's another Hussein-Obama executive order.
2. A crucial
gunpowder component (nitrocellulose, needed for smokeless powder
which has been the key ingredient in what's commonly but inaccurately
called gunpowder for decades) has been deemed an explosive by BATFE decree
without notice or rationale. This virtually eliminates its transportation
or storage by traditional means, by powder manufacturers and others in the
manufacturing and distribution chain. Industry experts are (foolishly in my
opinion) seeking a delay in implementation of the surprise ruling, instead
of the identification of the people who invented this outrageous travesty,
and demanding their ouster, with punishment, along with their superiors who
facilitated this gross constitutional infringement. This sort of deliberate
malfeasance should not go unpunished. Who gave the order? Who do these
people think they are?
3. A medical marijuana CARD
(not use) is now Second Amendment disqualification, according to a decision
of the uber-liberal federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In a case with no
parallels, a woman who obtained the card to show support for the
medical-marijuana movement -- but who doesn't use pot -- has been
disqualified from her constitutional rights, for possession of the plastic
card. Wherever you may stand on the drug issue, even the statute itself
requires drug use, not government permission-slip possession. In its
decision, this Court introduced the idea that you might not be sufficiently
mentally OK at times to bear arms, so summarily removing your rights is
totally is fine. Whether this applies to beer, over-the-counter medicine
that might cause drowsiness and any other mental evaluations was not
addressed, but surely can't be far behind in the minds of those who can
come up with a decision like this, would seek any means to control the
public.
I have said for years:
1- Federal government
lacks any legitimate delegated constitutional power to control vegetables
(which describes cannabis). The power they assert here is usurped. They
could attempt to gain the power legally, but haven't, understanding they
might not succeed and the failed attempt would demonstrate they have no
authority in the field.
2- Federal government lacks any legitimate
delegated constitutional power to control drugs (which marijuana apparently
is). The power they assert here is usurped, and has been for decades, even
if the public likes the drug prescription system, the various bans, wild
price supports, cartels, lack of access and all the rest that goes with
usurped powers.
3- With this ruling it is now much more clearly
dangerous to your rights to get marijuana from the government cartel than
from the Mexican cartel. The government cartel can strip you of your
freedom, with massive invasive forces behind them. The Mexican cartel just
takes your money. Both can shoot you if they so choose. You can shoot back,
of course, but you know where that gets you. If it's against the Mexican
and related cartels, your story gets buried, along with you. If it's
against the government cartel, you end up on page one, along with the
compound you live in, for days.
The lamestream media told

Donald Trump is an
out-of-control megalomaniac ready to turn the country into an
unconstitutional anti-religious concentration camp with his announcement to
keep muslim immigrants and visitors out just because there are tens of
millions of unhappy ones who are confused about life and want
in.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however
that: The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The most
recent president to exercise U.S statute on the subject was democrat Jimmy
Carter, who in 1972 used 8 USC §1182 to summarily block the entry of
anyone from Iran. Previously it had been used to block anyone who might
have been a communist. The statute grants power to the president in plain
English:
8 USC §1182 (f) Suspension of
entry or imposition of restrictions by President Whenever the
President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into
the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United
States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem
necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as
immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any
restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. (Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952, enacted June 27, 1952, also known as the
McCarran-Walter Act.)
Some libertarian friends hold a
utopian dream that we should live in a society without borders, admit
anyone, and fail to notice that the nation-state system we do live in makes
sense, and we need to defend borders for good reason -- to keep out people
who would do us harm, take all our stuff and kill us if we didn't protect
what's ours. This is why we need fine and robust border-enforcement laws
like the one described here.
I started the list because I noticed,
despite the blind ignorant media ranting about Trump wanting to keep out
muslims and especially those from jihadi infested cesspools in the middle
east who want us all dead, that's already law and has been exercised by
their darlings, the democrats.
8 USC
§1182 Inadmissible aliens [List reduced and abbreviated from
100 pages of statute:] Multiple health-related grounds like communicable
diseases without cure, criminal grounds, substance traffickers,
prostitution and commercial vice, religiously oppressive government
officials as defined, human traffickers, money launderers, national
security grounds, known terrorists, potential terrorists, people affiliated
with terrorism, totalitarians (aimed at communists), Nazis, participants in
genocide, users of child soldiers, people likely to become a "public
charge" (welfare case), certain job applicants depending on job and other
conditions, certain athletes, unqualified physicians and health-care
workers (quacks), aliens on parole, false claimants of citizenship,
stowaways, smugglers, visa abusers, people without passports, draft
evaders, illegal aliens already here, repeat offenders, practicing
polygamists, child abductors, unlawful voters, renunciants, tax evaders,
other subcategories, and exceptions throughout, this is a partial
list.

P.S.
Lots more to tell, gotta run off to the Crossroads of the West gun show to
sign books and speak with friends and fans... possibly dangerous times
ahead, plenty of letters from people but no time to go through them now,
