I have no words - Thomas Jefferson would have (did have) and now they have become silent even unto the bill of rights

This is what happens when we teach law and order instead of government and civilization.

more crap from zerocred... did they bother to mention the vid is from 2008 & the judge agreed with the cops that dancing at a memorial is disrespectful, inappropriate, stupid, etc?

I would agree that the police arrests in this case were disrespectful, inappropriate and stupid bordering on malicious and acting in a manner that might cause jury or death.They were not even read their rights. It was also most probably a set up

Zerocred... ha ha, good one.

I do think the things they say are very useful, however.

What I always do is collect as many scenarios as possible about a particular topic. I want to know the worst case, the best case, and the cases in between. Zerohedge is good for the "everyone gonna die" scenarios. Then as events begin to unfold, you can see which scenario is becoming most likely.

Their scenario for the reactors at Fukushima melting through and the cores being exposed turned out to be absolutely right. However, the emissions have dropped 10,000 fold from the first few days, even as the cores have been out of water since a day after the tsunami, so that part of the scenario has thus far not been everybody died. I too thought that if the reactor cores were exposed that there would be a huge release, and of course that could still happen, but so far, even though the worst has happened to the reactors, the effects have not at all been catastrophic.

So, for providing doomer porn scenarios, I thank Zerocred.

Re: Goodbye America it was nice to dream

Complete overreaction by the so-called "authorities." Do we now have to agree with cops when _they_ decide they don't like something?

If being disrespectful, inappropriate, stupid, etc, is grounds for arrest, we are all fooked. The propaganda is sinking in really deep.

The video looks to be a different incident from the one you link to. The article states that the woman who sued was arrested "around midnight". The video of the arrests takes place in broad daylight.

The first couple to be arrested in the video weren't doing anything more than holding each other and swaying. It hardly seemed anything that "undermines 'an atmosphere of calm, tranquility, and reverence' at the memorial."


In any case, it does seem rather ironic that you can be arrested for dancing silently, of all things, in the memorial to Thomas Jefferson. I mean, I could understand it if you wanted to arrest people for dancing in front of the Alexander Hamilton memorial. Certainly at the Joseph Bates memorial. But Thomas Jefferson?

Re: Goodbye America it was nice to dream

I believe that the current protests have been triggered by the U.S. district court's ruling in the case cited by Metalman. Metalman appears to have overlooked this in a rush to further discredit Zerohedge. (That said, I agree with Metalman that Zerohedge's posts often skate on thin ice and must be read critically.)

Total death toll from radiation at Fukushima plant site after melt-downs or partial melt-downs due to a 9.0 earthquake and a 40 foot tsunami: Z E R O. If that doesn't argue for the world switching to atomic power, nothing will.
