Today, while waiting to be seen by my doctor, I overheard someone seemingly praising the Obama Administration's gun buy back program. The conversation went something like this...
Me: (After BBG praised gun program) "Well, that might be a mistake."
Big Burly Guy: "Why?"
Me: "Because the people may need their guns for protection."
Big Burly Guy: "Protection from what"?
Me: "From those that have taken over our government."
Big Burly Guy: (Voice rising) And... What Sort Of Government DO YOU THINK WE HAVE? IS IT RUSSIA'S! IS IT GERMANY'S!!!!???"
Me: "Fascist", I replied calmly. Wondering if I am on Candid Camera.
Big Burly Guy: (Now he is screaming at me) FASCIST!?!?!! (Now he is frothing out the mouth, like a rabid dog & I am wondering if I should run for my life.) "MUMBLEMUBBERWUB-RWR-DAMNIDIOT! JESSKEEPYERDAMNMOUTHSHUT!"
Me: (Trying to remain calm) "Can we take it down a notch... please?"
Suddenly a nurse opens the door to the waiting room, "Is everything all right out here?" She stated leveling her gaze at the Big Burly Guy frothing out the mouth.
Big Burly Guy: (Miraculously recovering some self control) "Yes, mam, I apologize, but when I get excited, people mistake that for loudness."
Me: (Nada, nothing. I kept my mouth shut as I was wondering what the hell did I say to piss this lunatic off. When they called my name, I nearly ran the nurse over trying to get away from this whack-job. When the nurse checked my blood pressure, I looked down and noticed my hands were shaking. When the Dr. came in, he asked my why my blood pressure was so high. After I told him about the lunatic in his office, he was incredulous, "Really? Here, in my office? Wow. Now Obama's trying to pass some more fascist laws..." The doctor continued, but I wasn't listening, I was thinking, yes doc right here in your office your shell shocked patient was nearly assaulted by a vitriolic boot licking Obama worshiper.
Do you realise that you are actually on the same team? I'm thinking that both sides of this ridiculous "argument" have a way to go. This was an opportunity for a discussion and you "blew it" by getting upset at him. He was upset too, but you have more knowledge and this should have been some sort of protection. Better luck next time! You need to find out how knowledge of human behavior can protect you instead of upset you.
Dear oneopenmind: Never Panic, Lose Your Eyes or Outs
Having been in several similar - and many worse - situations of danger (I long, long ago gave up on talking logical truth to unknown people), PLEASE remember the above, which I've never read anywhere although I'm certain it’s out there in some version. Generally, if one’s never been in a real (adult) fight, then their first and natural human reaction to their first one is to crawl in a hole and hide in a fetal position. Being human, (last I checked), at age 14 or 15, I did just that and almost died for it.
We were attacked by a drunk redneck with an M-1 Carbine, folding stock, 30 round magazine, who threw a .30 caliber round in the chamber [charged it] and started hustling the 40 feet between him and us. Why? Only Two straws broke that mad dog's back: The first was that we were simply long haired surfers in the wrong place insofar as he was concerned, plus infra.*
So I did what most people do: I panicked. I was in the back seat of our parked car, and dove for cover on the floor on the other side of our car that he was now 30 feet from. I instantly realized:
1. I’d panicked and made deadly mistakes; (I panicked)
2. I’d lost my sight of him, but he knew just where I was; (I lost my eyes)
3. I was trapped on the floor of back seat like a duck in a barrel (I lost my outs).......So I immediatly began clawing at the other rear door’s inside handle from the floor. The ending I’m saving for the autobiography, though we all survived unscathed. Simply put, lesson learned for a lifetime, which has since then saved my life more than twice.)
To minimize risk of problems:
- Avoid eye contact; treat the prick like a mad dog.**
- Trust your instincts and the hairs on the back of your head.
- Don’t lose your eyes. If the shit looks to hit the fan, keep maximum reasonable distance away and look at an 60-80 degree angle away from assailant so you don’t have eye contact but can “keep your eye on him.”
- If no known guns involved, realize that generally, if someone is bigger than you, then you likely can run, turn, stop, reverse, and climb quicker than them.(A la a Matador.) [Here’s an old trick - THAT WORKS - if being chased outside, such as by an unarmed mugger, when you’re getting away . . . but not fast enough. ... well, just before he can tackle you (about 5 feet back), YOU STOP AND DROP (like sliding feet first into second base in a fetal position with your hands around your neck and head), and watch them trip over your shoulders and go flying (hopefully they’ll break a wrist); Then take off back in direction you came from. I’ve used it twice and it worked BOTH times.
- Be aware of your “outs.” (I.e., if you’re in a restaurant, DON’T hide under the table; get low and head for the exits.)
- If he pulls a gun- and you don’t have one - and has you point blank/”dead to rights” - Hell, give him whatever he wants! Talk to him about his mom, your kid, etc. But if he just wants to shoot you, then there is NO maximum reasonable distance. (The old trick of looking an imaginary person walking up behind your assailant - and wide eyed smiling (as if you're thinking, "Wow! A cop when you need one!") - also really works to give you about one second to get moving.)
As you get farther away, even if you go at a walking pace, the likelihood of being hit drops geometrically; and it drops exponentially when you are accelerating(beginning to run.). Generally do the quick walk away ** and if it feels that he’s likely to or does start shooting, then begin running and zig zagging.*** When it feels safe, hit the ground and get your eyes back on the bastard.
- If you feel you could shoot someone, get a concealed firearm permit.

*To him, as all rednecks here at that time, that meant that we were "Long Haired Hippie F*gg*t Mother F****rs."* As I grew older, got more experienced and was able to be meaner, I’ve often thrown that back in their faces saying, “Jesus Christ, I’m not a “hippie,” dammit; I’m a surfer. And can’t you idiots be more imaginative? Maybe even just rearrange the words? Too dumb, I guess.”
** Eye contact by a friend was the second straw that caused him to attack us. These situations are very often like dealing with a dog that MIGHT attack you. Walking away and showing as little fear as possible often works on animals like that bastard.
The above is completely true and based on hard and multiple experiences of over 50 years.

Shill Stalker?? Afraid of Mirrors?
"Shill Stalker??" You gotta be sh*tting me & SOTT, and God knows you’ve gotta be afraid to look into a Mirror. As you're aware, you're a paid sh*t spewer - (or perhaps aspire to be one.) Doesn't it get the mirror brown? Give us a break, you sorry fargling, drooling idiot! What part of the video was UNTRUTHFUL? What part was UNFACTUAL? Where were any omitted important facts?
YOUR ANSWER?
(IF you reply, compare and contrast the truth in the video vs. the MSM's silence on the below:
- 9/11 WTC7 collapse/explosion & nanothermite... YOUR ANSWER?
- That COINTELPRO HAS BEEN proven: YOUR ANSWER?
- That US paid propaganda directed at the US - NOT the USSR (Radio America) - is now written into law doesn't bother you? (Or are you one of the contractors she talks about? ) YOUR ANSWER?
- What about the facts that at Sandy Hook, the Lanza kid was found inside with pistols (9mm) and the children were killed with .223/5.56 mm rounds from rifles and the kid's rifle was in his trunk? YOUR ANSWER?
- The principal heard hundreds of shots and yet was the first one killed??? YOUR ANSWER?
- What about these guys? YOUR ANSWER?
Guy #1 "Proned out." YOUR ANSWER?
Guy #2 "Proned out" and, YOUR ANSWER?
Guy #3 on video saying "I didn't do it!" YOUR ANSWER?
If you reply do you get double overtime or something? YOUR ANSWER?
You likely are - or akin to or aspire to be - one of the sorry sacks of s*** described in the article, whose job is to cover up the truth with lies and the beauty of life with the ugliness of murder!

P.s., You didn't happen to be the big burly guy in the Dr. office above, did you? YOUR ANSWER? You've got the mindset down, you chickensh*t supporter of the murder of children. That's what YOUR job enables and you know it and you gotta be scared what happens after this life, you sad, sad, sorry sack. (I never thought that I could EVER feel sorry for someone in your shoes - no matter how you got there - but the older I get, the more I find myself hoping that people like you will see the light, rather than suffer a death akin to those you cause.)
Pps, Do you have to swallow to get a Christmas "BON-us"? YOUR ANSWER?

Thanks Ruth. I even thought of the same phrase re the stew he spews- indee, I meant to include it - but left it behind in my rant, wanting to type fast enough the chase the sorry bastard down.
Also, speaking of "meant," did you see my satire critique of yours re . . . .hmm..... ah, yes, vain, vs. vein?
I kept trying to get ONE message out right, and I swear I just couldn't. (I wasn't trying thereby to prove my point, but the more I screwed up the more mad at myself I got.) (I just now noticed the mirror meme above as compared with my "critique" there, (where you spoke of vampires) and - insofar as my consciousness is aware - they are merely a coincidence. I guess despite all the PTB lies that they base upon them, such do still occur; just not nearly as much as the PTB makes out. E.g., I'm guessing some "error" will prevent the video surveillance from Sandy Hook coming out.. "Just a coincidence, folks. Nothing to see here. Move along. Trust us." etc.)
R.C.
P.s., In the above video, they talk about "ten fake online persons per service member." It's been my experience that when "our"("my?")* government lies/minimizes, they usually do so by a factor of ten so that they can say a misplaced decimal point caused the problem. (E.g., The FBI admitted they illegally placed 4,000 GPS units under cars. My guess - and I think it concurs with sales of the units(I seem to recall seeing that somewhere) - is either 40K or 400K. That said, I'm betting it's a hunder per person.
* I always call it "our" government, given that whatever "it" is or claims to be falsely is done falsely in OUR names. But I'm in the US and you might be a citizen of elsewhere. If so, I'm getting envious.
I remember being
So proud to be an American....
I still am! . . .
But I'm ashamed

i just thought it was amusing that the article is about propaganda, and the source is, according to recent "news" reports, recognised propaganda, as is fox news, press tv, etc etc etc.
i never said anything in there was not factual, hell, youd have to be quite naive not to have known media has been infiltrated for decades already.. so this isnt really news anyway.
most propaganda is probably a majority truth, with the sweet bits either omitted, obfuscated or distorted, but one thing i know is that if the source is the government, then its probably 100% BS.
chillax dude.. btw.. youve got a little bit of froth and spittle on your chin there....
no... youre other chin :p
he was at the time quite frustrated with me as i was following him around the internet making life difficult for him and frustrating his mission as much as possible, and he had come to refer to me as "his little stalker" which i subsequently embraced.
if you have issues with my alias, i suggest thats your problem alone, if you cant figure out my real intent from a simple plain statement, what else can i do.
tell me, do you or rowan believe RT NOT to be a propaganda channel?
YOUR ANSWER?
Objection: Non responsive to the questions. (Your alleged "good" motives are beside the point.)
I'd vote to convict. . . you.
As to whether they're propaganda? First, they're human, so they're flawed.
I'd bet whoever runs it would stay at a fine hotel and not steal anything. I can't say that about the PTB.
Are they as obviously propagandish as the MSM? NOT EVEN CLOSE and either you know it and are lying about it; or your really, really stupid. What about that same point which Niall made?
Ah, the MSM, with it's painfully-obvious-to-see intent of a Government ABOVE the People, rather than Of the people and for the people, and most importantly, BY the people- aka NWO/One World Government. (I hate quoting Lincoln. Pretend I grabbed a Jefferson quote.)
It may well be that this entire earth has long been taken over by a small clique of :
1. Humans; or,
2. Other(s.)
who control the whole damn charade down to the last detail. But that always descends into moral relativity. Assuming Sandy Hook involved more than one kid doing the shooting, that exact argument was almost certainly used to get the Sandy Hook LIne and Sinker Shooters/ aka Sandy Hoax, into doing what was done.
There. I've answered your question; you've answered none of mine, other than your little sheapsh*t sidestep. Sorry sack You are, I still say.
As Ruth advises, I'm now, signing out and trying to find a way NOT to waste my time dealing with loser fools or evil's tools, (as to which you are; you know), I'm

A standard propaganda tactic is to point out "de minimus" and/or "beside the point"* matters, such as my typo "your" when I meant "you're," so to be clear, it should have said:
"OR YOU ARE REALLY, REALLY STUPID."

im not answerable to you or anyone, if you want to take a simple observation and imagine it to be anything other than that, feel free, but id like to point out, its very rude of you not to ask if anyone else would like some of whatever it is youre on.
